[Peace-discuss] Donald Trump May Select an Architect of Bush's Torture Program to Run CIA

Sat Nov 12 18:41:00 UTC 2016

As Mark Twain is supposed to have said, history doesn’t repeat itself - but it does rhyme…

In the decline of the American Empire, underway since its peak in 1945, our rulers have consciously substituted military repression for world-wide economic development, especially in regard to Eurasia. They’ve protected the profits of the 1% and - particularly since the 1970s - encouraged the increasing (and accelerating) concentration of wealth in the hands of fewer and fewer people.

Our choice is to stand with that - and hope it’s done nicely, without unnecessary killing - or oppose it, with the majority of the population of our country and the world.

Today, we need to begin by working to see that the Trump administration is not captured by the neoliberals and neoconservatives who have dominated all recent administrations, including particularly Obama’s.

I think Cal  Law should make Yoo their new Dean to replace that sex maniac dean they just fired  and rename themselves: The Marquis De Sade College of Law. Yoo can invite out his old Yale Law Teacher Killer Koh for a Visit. Just like old times at Yale Law with Wedgie, Jack Torturer Goldsmith, Marty Murderer Lederman, John of Grenada Moore, and the Spirit of Dean Gene Half-An-Eichmann Rostow presiding over them all--Gene's Kids.

Alright all you Reaganite Dinosaurs out there polish up your resumes and send them to your good ole buddy Ed Meese at Heritage.  Bob, I think they can find you and John of Grenada Moore some nice cushy slots in the Trump administration--how about polishing Trump's boots at Trump Tower? Larry Tribe has a lock on the EPA.
