A modern kind of fascism?

With the USA apparently in control of much of Europe, their far-reaching surveillance of the population whose minds are influenced by an effective propaganda apparatus, the wars of aggression, western troops deployed on the eastern front in Ukraine and the concentration-camp-like Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay, comparisons are made between the USA and Nazi Germany. Read what John Pilger writes about the rise of fascism.

Governments responsible for pollution

Military and civilian authorities are too often responsible for putting our environment at risk, not just by failing to protect the environment in general terms. Sometimes they are even directly responsible for pollution. One example is the German submarine U-864, which transported mercury when she was sunk during World War II. After 70 years, this is a lasting threat to the North Sea. Other examples are dumped nuclear reactors and lost nuclear weapons, such as on Greenland.

In Sweden, a case hase recently been revealed where tons of poison, including DDT, was deliberately dumped by authorities. Read the testimony by one of the drivers (in Swedish). Also the Swedish military is critisized for other cases, where decontamination has not been done. Not surprisingly, they have their own supervisory authority, which seems to let them get away with it (subscribers of Dagens Industri can read the article in Swedish).

NATO’s criminal past

As some look to NATO for their security these days, we need to be reminded about NATO’s criminal past. This does not only involve alleged war crimes, but also links to terrorism. European security services appear to have betrayed their own people, by protecting the criminals. Watch NATO’s Secret Armies.

Whatever evil NATO is involved in, there seems to be impunity, which is the hallmark of government-related crime. It is an ongoing failure of our legal system that must be stopped.
