[Peace-discuss] FW: Dems Kept Cheerleading Bush-Era Neocons - Now There's One In The White House

Yeah, ditto for Harvard. During World War II their Faculties went to work for OSS against Japan and Germany. But when they came back, Harvard and Yale Faculties  became primary recruiters  for the CIA: “The Best and the Brightest.”

I’m reading through the introduction to Alfred McCoy’s latest book, “In the Shadows of the American Century: where he covers the CIA attempts to prevent publication of his first book “The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia” published in the seventies, while he was a grad student at Yale.

I knew the CIA attempted to prevent publication, given he connects them to the drug running, but when they lost their law suit, that was just the beginning. Their harassment of him then began as an act of revenge with intent to discredit. He makes it clear that at that time, as a result of Yale’s connections with the CIA, he was on the verge of being expelled.

Bill and Killary are also members of the Yale Law Mafia. If you are asking why there are  so many warmongers and war criminals coming out of  Yale Law School it is because Unclean Gene Rostow was Dean there for  many years and hired most of the Faculty—“Gene’s Kids.” So guess who runs your local law school Two Yale Law Mafia Deans in a Row? And before them we had Hurricane Heidi Hurd and her Consort CIA/Mossad Michael Moore stinking the place up with Torture from their very get-go.

Killing Kids at Yale Law School

Early January 1977
Just out of Harvard Law
Looking for a job
Landing at Yale Law
26 years old

2 hour faculty presentation
In faculty lounge
To my right
Dean Harry Wellington
Arrayed left and right
Across the room
Yale Law Faculty all
Most distinguished crowd

Sitting in the back
Directly opposite
Clear line of sight
Glaring right at me
Gene Rostow
Ex Yale Law Dean
Of the infamous Rostow brothers
Who gave us Vietnam

War criminal of the first rank
3 million exterminated Vietnamese
Murdered 58,000 men of my generation

Hey! Hey! LBJ!
How many kids!
Did you kill today!
Went through my mind

Gene was there to make sure
I was never hired
Had checked me out
With his Harvard Law buddies
Where my views were well known
On everything
Including Vietnam
Especially the Palestinians

For one hour
Gene and I battled back and forth
Up and down
Blow for blow
Shot for shot
I stood my ground
And matched him

Rostow was just a bully
Having grown up
On the Irish Southside of Chicago
I know how to deal with bullies

Then Gene made a fatal mistake
A wan smile came across my face
I got you now!
You sunova-bitch!
You just spent the last hour
Trying to beat me up
But now I have you
Exactly where I want you
I am going to destroy you!
And I did!

Made a complete, total, absolute fool out of Gene
In front of the entire Yale Law Faculty
Many of whom he had hired
Gene’s Kids
Gene’s face and pate turned beet red
I stunned Gene into silence for the next hour!

It was so bad
Leon Lipson
Broke out laughing
In the back of the Faculty Lounge
Priceless!
A little payback for Vietnam!
Well worth the job!

Hey! Hey!
Rostow say!
How many kids!
Did you kill today!

Fasting forward to today
Ex Yale Law Dean Harold Killer Koh
Rejoins the Faculty
After serving a stint
As Obama’s War Consigliere
Droner-in-Chief
For the Harvard Law Commander-in-Chief

Justifying Obama’s war crimes, crimes against peace, crimes against humanity
Drones, murders, assassinations, genocide
Violations of the Constitution
International law too
Exterminating 50,000 Libyans
With the bat of his eye

Hey! Hey!
Harold say!
How many kids!
Did you kill today!

Killer Koh
Is a worthy successor to Gene Rostow
Yale Law’s Resident War Criminal Deans

Hey! Hey!
Yale Law Say!
How many kids!
Did you kill today!
John Yoo too!
Killer Koh’s poo!

Yeah, we are up the Proverbial Creek without the Proverbial Paddle. Another Member of the Yale Law Mafia—like Killer Koh and his Poo John Yoo and the Killer Koh Law School here. Say, maybe they can invite Bolton out to give their endowed lecture on being a Role Model for Lawyers in Government Service like they did with Killer Koh?

Dems are criticizing Trump’s National Security Advisor pick, not because he’s a warmonger who was one of the original members of the Project for a New American Century, but because he’s allegedly too soft on Russia, Caitlin Johnstone explains.

But Democratic opposition to Bolton, even when it doesn’t get sucked up into idiotic Russia conspiracy theory, appears to be receiving a relatively lukewarm response from mainstream America. It certainly isn’t attracting the urgent attention it should be, and certainly isn’t eliciting the level of viral interest as a new “bombshell” Russiagate revelation. And why should it? Propagandists have been pacing rank-and-file Democrats into embracing Iraq-raping Bush-era neocons for more than a year now.
In addition to Democrats being forced to spend 2016 gaslighting themselves into believing that a warmongering neocon who supported the Iraq war would make a great First Female President, they have also been manipulated by the cult of blind anti-Trumpism into accepting neoconservative death worshippers like Bill Kristol, David Frum and Max Boot into their #Resistance fold.
“One of the most amazing outcomes of the Trump administration is the number of neo-conservatives that are now my friends and I am aligned with,” MSNBC pundit Joy Reid openly admitted<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.vulture.com_2017_09_joy-2Dreid-2Dwants-2Dto-2Dargue-2Dwith-2Dyou.html&d=DwMFAg&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=yYwZJ47Nv_cWJpXjzmEUbBDKAUoXgMrmOckznRGW00w&m=8gxkc8Yrwe2i4Wbw679Z325bmkXq3G4IHr58ozUdQEo&s=INz8BKRzKZy5mutM3N1sux_vfmizMWJs6on8UDff8i0&e=> in an interview last year. “I found myself agreeing on a panel with Bill Kristol. I agree more with Jennifer Rubin, David Frum, and Max Boot than I do with some people on the far left. I am shocked at the way that Donald Trump has brought people together.”
Just as Bolton has cozied up to the Trump crowd by disguising his brazen neoconservative globalism as libertarian-leaning nationalism, neocons like Frum, Boot and Kristol who helped decimate Iraq have been cozying up to mainstream Democrats by posing as woke progressives<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__medium.com_-40caityjohnstone_iraq-2Draping-2Dneocons-2Dare-2Dsuddenly-2Dposing-2Das-2Dwoke-2Dprogressives-2Dto-2Dgain-2Dsupport-2D289fa527f3f8&d=DwMFAg&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=yYwZJ47Nv_cWJpXjzmEUbBDKAUoXgMrmOckznRGW00w&m=8gxkc8Yrwe2i4Wbw679Z325bmkXq3G4IHr58ozUdQEo&s=hRSR3oi2jPTUadPuzEzR5McDjrpStpMG8l_BGrLEV60&e=>, and now they’re in like Flynn. Dems had to stretch and compartmentalize their thinking to accommodate the other Bush-era neocons, and even Bush himself to a large extent<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__medium.com_-40caityjohnstone_the-2Dreal-2Dreason-2Ddemocrats-2Dlove-2Dbush-2Dnow-2Da423db50eceb&d=DwMFAg&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=yYwZJ47Nv_cWJpXjzmEUbBDKAUoXgMrmOckznRGW00w&m=8gxkc8Yrwe2i4Wbw679Z325bmkXq3G4IHr58ozUdQEo&s=WnKDHWgpJxN-xbicZ6TD93tCEzouz42AnYsLCgusNvc&e=>, so why would a few experts saying “Uh seriously this Bolton guy is deeply terrifying” have any influence over them? They already had to gaslight themselves into believing the bloodshed caused by neoconservatism is fine.
So the American mainstream has been successfully manipulated on both sides of the artificial political divide into supporting vestigial Bush neocons, with #TheResistance proudly retweeting depraved death cultists like Bill Kristol while a majority of the #MAGA crowd<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__twitter.com_Cernovich_status_976965585627041792&d=DwMFAg&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=yYwZJ47Nv_cWJpXjzmEUbBDKAUoXgMrmOckznRGW00w&m=8gxkc8Yrwe2i4Wbw679Z325bmkXq3G4IHr58ozUdQEo&s=4gDDmZ6hXthqGfvf5Q_m1e_sUWVPvqg65hdT4yIFfGE&e=> support Trump’s elevation of Bolton, and now there’s no one left but us homeless nonpartisans to point and scream about where this all seems to be headed.
Partisan hack Trump supporters are worthless. Partisan hack Democrats are equally worthless. Only those who have awakened from the relentless barrage of mass media psy-ops and seen beyond the fake uni-party trap can see what’s going on. It’s up to us to awaken everyone else.
