BIGDOMES IN BERKELEY 3/7: CHALMERS JOHNSON & GRAY BRECHIN An Advance Comment By Hal Womack 3-dan http://www.myspace.com/halwomack         I have just added professor Chalmers Johnson (hereinafter CJ ) to my list of favorite war criminals, along with previously praised heroes such as Master Sergeant Donald Duncan; Lt.Col. Anthony Herbert PhD; Capt. (& Medal of Honor winner & 2-time Federal political prisoner Charles Liteky) and Israel Shamir of Jaffa.         In his new book (see below, 1) CJ uses the pointed term desk murderers , sticking this shocking cap squarely on the deserving heads of SonnaBush, Rumsfeld, Cheney &  Gang. Can  anyone point us to the place, if any, where CJ has reviewed his own record as a high-level CIA advisor and public apologist for the U.S. war against Vietnam? Pending an answer to this question of frank repentance (2), we can note that in the new millennium CJ has swiveled his turret and is now laying down a well-organized barrage of facts against the global American empire of military _base_s. The energetic defection from the regime of a high-level mandarin offers a unique educational opportunity for the world public.         CJ's partner for the program, UCB professor of geography  Gray Brechin, wrote the brilliant biography of a city  _Imperial San Francisco : urban power, earthly ruin_ (1999).         The audience will consist of those willing to fork over $15 per head to benefit millionaire Jewess & Democratic Party shill Medea Benjamin together with Dennis Bernstein, Amy Goodman, Jackie NLN and the other smooth talkers at KPFA Radio.         In person, Brechin wallows comfortably in his nostalgia for the New Deal , preferring to put the Coit Tower murals in the foreground while relegating to the corners of his vision the massive atrocities of such firebombings as those of Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo and the Two Big Ones. Like Brechin, CJ has failed to integrate into his narrative the diamond-clear work of Robert Stinnett, which exposes FDR's greatest achievement as the successful instigation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The absence from CJ's thorough index of the name of Bernard Baruch = a sealed door showing the limitation of our speaker's understanding of modern US history. Technically, the USA has been under a secret police regime since Baruch's successful deployment of triggerman Carl Weiss MD to assassinate Senator Huey Long in Baton Rouge in September of 1935, thus securing a second term for President- For-Life Franklin Roosevelt.         The US pattern of imperial expansion using as a pretext black op provocations reaches at least from the sinking of the USS Maine in 1898 to the 9/11/01 ramming of the WTC. Similar patterns obtain for the initiation of the Great War, the Korean Police Action (3) and, of course, the war against Vietnam.         I would like to put to CJ the poll question used scores of times on the street in the last 5 years: How many chances out of 100 that the Jews, rather than the Arabs, were behind the 9/11 attacks? Aerial Shaboom and Hank the K rather than the cave-dweller and the coke-head? The beneficiaries of the action rather than its victims? A number here, if you please, Dr.Johnson?         A successful American revolutionary movement against our present JASPer tyranny will draw from the best of both Islam and the Communist Parties of China and Vietnam. The complexion of its personnel will resemble that of the U.S. prison system.  'Twould be well in the future to place CJ in a panel with authors James Petras and Michael Collins Piper, both of whom are far ahead in illuminating the crucial Jewish angle in our present predicament. =================================== (1) http://www.globalexchange.org/getInvolved/bayarea.php Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic { = _title_ of new book by } Chalmers Johnson in conversation with Gray Brechin Wed, Mar 7, 2007 7:30 pm King Middle School auditorium 1781 Rose Street (free parking & wheelchair access) Berkeley CHALMERS JOHNSON, president of the Japan Policy Research Institute, is the author of the bestselling Blowback and The Sorrows of Empire.
