Book Description
'His own lonely impunity is rank; it smells to heaven. If it is allowed to persist
then we shall shamefully vindicate the ancient philosopher Anacharsis, who
maintained that laws were like cobwebs; strong enough to detain only the weak, and
too weak to hold the strong. In the name of innumerable victims known and unknown,
it is time for justice to take a hand.'
With the detention of Augusto Pinochet, and intense international pressure for the
arrest of Slobodan Milosevic, the possibility of international law acting against
tyrants around the world is emerging as a reality. Yet, as Christopher Hitchens
demonstrates in this compact, incendiary book, the West need not look far to find
suitable candidates for the dock. The United States is home to an individual whose
record of war crimes bears comparison with the worst dictators of recent history.
Please stand, ex-Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Henry A.
Kissinger.
Weighing the evidence with judicial care, and developing his case with scrupulous
parsing of the written record, Hitchens takes the floor as prosecuting counsel. He
investigates, in turn, Kissinger's involvement in the war in Indochina, mass murder
in Bangladesh, planned assassinations in Santiago, Nicosia and Washington DC, and
genocide in East Timor. Drawing on first-hand testimony, previously unpublished
documentation, and broad sweeps through material released under the Freedom of
Information Act, he mounts a devastating indictment of a man whose ambition and
ruthlessness have directly resulted in both individual murders and widespread,
indiscriminate slaughter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects. His task is to demonstrate
repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the
"democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist
by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse
of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of
taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between
the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that
the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State
has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to
accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a
share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded
subjects.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
