Dear Brothers and Sisters, Friends and Supporters!

Thank you for you the many happy birthday wishes that I have received on the occasion of my 45th birthday this past Wednesday July 27th.  They mean a lot to me and helped me to have the best birthday possible in my present circumstances. I know that I possess the love of many and I know that I am never truly alone.  Furthermore. happy birthday wishes are continuing to come in from all over the world! 

In addition to the many well-wishes that I have received via email, I have, as of this juncture, received Happy Birthday wishes (including cards) from the following via regular mail:

Jason O., Victoria I., Mark Q., Branden H., my dear mother (two!), James C., Nancy H., Emily H., John C., David N., Larry E., Carol S., Helen H., John M., Mark H., and Anthony P. 

On another note, my new captors here in Terre Haute are not allowing me to sign any of my letters “Your Pontifex”, just so you know.  Therefore, please do not take offense, any of you, if you see that I have suddenly ceased signing my letters in that manner.  Once we have emerged victorious in our great religious freedom lawsuit against the B.O.P., that silly prohibition will of course be no more; however, in the meantime, we will adapt our correspondence to one another as we must.

Speaking of that lawsuit, while it is true that I would like to secure a few more witnesses to testify on my behalf at our upcoming trial, it is not necessary that we have a great many witnesses.  Rather, what is necessary is that we secure the testimony of individuals who can and will testify to the importance of Creativity in their lives and how Creativity is indeed their RELIGION.  In addition, I am interested in securing the testimony of a couple character witnesses who may or may not be Creators; these individuals would testify to my religious outreach and my nature as a person:  a person who disdains violence and illegality by nature and who instead seeks to persuade others in the righteousness of my Creativity religious faith.  So, please keep in mind these two basic categories of witnesses that I am looking for.  Six or seven total witnesses altogether would be quite sufficient because, after all, parties are not supposed to present cumulative testimony.

In any case, I have utterly no doubt that we will win this case.  It doesn’t matter how many smears are cast upon me or Creativity because it is plain that we are a religion all the same.  No American jury is going to deny the religiosity of Creativity after I am done with my own testimony, which will last days.  That’s why I say that it is not the QUANTITY of the witnesses that matters so much as their QUALITY.  I want dependable, dedicated, knowledgeable people to take that stand and no others; I don’t want to give the other side any slack if I can help it.

Thank you for continuing to spread the word of my plight and struggle worldwide.  I still believe that if we can keep raising the public pressure for my release, that day will indeed happen.  Keep wearing your Free Matt Hale T-shirts, keep affixing your Free Matt Hale bumper stickers, and keep in mind that Free Matt Hale billboards would be good, too!  The prisoners in the French Bastille had their sentences cut short in 1789 and the day may well come when my sentence is cut short too.  Anybody and everybody who knows anything about the facts of my case is outraged that such an injustice has occurred.  We must put that outrage to work and make the cause of my release the cause celebre of the entire pro-White, Racial Loyalist movement. Many of you have done a great deal to raise awareness and I salute you for that.  We must, however, do more and I am counting on you.  

I will close for now.  FREE MATT HALE!

Yours Truly For Nature’s Finest!

Philadelphia Vs. Cleveland: Divided We Stand by Patrick J. Buchanan

image

By Patrick J. Buchanan

Wednesday was the best night of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Joe Biden, Tim Kaine and Barack Obama testified to her greatness and goodness and readiness to be president. And all saw in the Republican Convention in Cleveland a festival of darkness and dystopia.

Nor is this unusual. For, as the saying goes, the ins “point with pride,” while the outs “view with alarm.”

Yet the clash of visions between Cleveland and Philadelphia is stark. We appear to be two separate and hostile peoples, living apart in two separate Americas.

Obama’s America is a country of all races, creeds, colors, lifestyles, a kumbayah country to be made more wonderful still when Clinton takes the helm.

The message from Cleveland: Cry the beloved country. America has lost her way. She is in peril. A new captain is needed. A new course must be set if America is to find her way home again.

Which portrayal is the more true? Which vision of America do her people believe corresponds more closely to the reality of their daily lives?

Do Americans share Philadelphia’s belief in Clinton’s greatness and in the magisterial achievements of the Obama presidency?

Let us see. Fifty-six percent of Americans believe Clinton should have been indicted; 67 percent believe she is neither trustworthy nor honest. And 75 percent of Americans think that, under Obama, the nation is headed in the wrong direction.

After Cleveland, Trump took a 62-23 lead among white high school graduates, those who constitute a disproportionate share of our cops, firemen, soldiers and Marines — and those interred in Arlington National Cemetery.

Given that the media are mostly “progressives,” why do Americans who rely on that media hold so negative an opinion of Clinton, and reject the direction in which Obama is taking their country?

Does the reality they perceive help to explain it?

Consider. Obama did inherit a disastrous economy and growth has been at or near 2 percent a year since then. But this is not the growth we knew in the Reagan era.

And what, other than the trade policies we pursued, explains the deindustrialization of America, the loss of manufacturing plants and jobs, and China’s shouldering us aside to become the world’s No. 1 industrial power.

What produced Detroit and Baltimore and all those dead and dying towns in the Rust Belt?

Even Hillary Clinton, who has called TPP the “gold standard,” now rejects her husband’s NAFTA. Is this not an admission that the elites got it wrong for a quarter century?

Obama in Philadelphia celebrated our diversity.

Yet, we have seen Old Glory burned and Mexican flags flaunted this year. We have seen Black Lives Matter chant, “What do we want? Dead cops!” — then watched black racists deliver dead cops in Dallas and Baton Rouge. Is Ferguson America’s future?

From the podium in Philadelphia, we hear the word “love.” But in interviews, Democratic activists invoke terms of hate, such as racist, fascist, homophobe, misogynist and sexist to describe the Cleveland Republicans.

Would the party of Philadelphia accept a President Trump?

Would the party of Cleveland accept President Clinton?

Hard to believe. Divided we stand. So, where do we go?

Given the distance between the two halves of America, given the contempt in which each seems to hold the other, we can probably drop from the Pledge of Allegiance the word “indivisible,” right after the Philadelphia Democrats succeed in cutting out the words, “under God.”

We are told our allies are nervous. They should be.

Even FDR could not lead a divided nation into war. When America divided over Vietnam, Richard Nixon had to lead us out. Our division led to America’s first defeat.

In the absence of a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 attack that brings us together in patriotic rage, Americans are not going to salute the next commander in chief, and then go fight Russia in the eastern Baltic or China over some reefs or rocks in the South China Sea.

Even when we were more united during the Cold War, Ike and LBJ never considered using force to roll back Soviet invasions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Our strongest ally in the Arab world, Egypt, and our NATO ally in the region, Turkey, are both descending into dictatorship. Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen are bleeding profusely in sectarian and civil wars, breaking apart along tribal and religious lines.

Could a President Trump, or Clinton, rally us to stand together and send another Army of Desert Storm over there? Not likely.

Barack Obama believes the more diverse a country we become — religiously, racially, ethnically, culturally, linguistically — the greater, better and stronger a nation we become. And with his immigration policies, he has put us, perhaps irretrievably, on that road.

Yet, outside that Wells Fargo Center, where such sentiments seem to enrapture Democratic delegates, Europe, Africa, the Mideast and South Asia are all being pulled apart, right along those same fault lines.

And measured by the rhetoric of Philadelphia and Cleveland, so are we.

The Second Amendment by Billy Roper

The Second Amendment

by Billy Roper

In our modern Idiocracy, many people, as well as not a few citizens, have been indoctrinated to believe that the Bill of Rights states what citizens of the United States CAN do, when in reality, those first ten amendments are designed to state what the government CANNOT do. Those persons who met the initial qualifications of U.S. citizenship were stated to have been endowed by their Creator with Natural Rights, which the government could not, legitimately, circumvent. In contrast, those who did not, but do now that that definition of citizenship has been changed, are said to have been endowed by the Federal government with Civil Rights, and what the government giveth, the government may take away. Note the difference.

 Now, the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which were such an integral part of the finally agreed-upon package deal of compromise (when the Federalists hijacked, remember, what was supposed to have just been a fine-tuning of the Articles of Confederation) that ratification would certainly never have happened, absent them. And, the linchpin of the Bill of Rights, that which secures the rest, is the Second Amendment. It defends the rest, or rather, makes their defense possible.

The first part of the statement describes the “cause”, or reason, for the right to not be interfered with: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state”. The second half explains the effect, or the outcome, justified by the first, that is, “the right of the people, to keep and bear arms,, shall not be infringed.”

Therefore, all of the debate between defenders of the Constitution and hoplophobes about whether or not the term “militia” means all of the people, or the army, or the National Guard, or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, is moot. It’s not the first clause that matters, with it’s reason, it’s the second, with it’s conclusion.

Regardless of how one defines the word militia, even liberals, so far, have not sought to redefine the word “people”, quite yet; well….they have when it comes to citizenship and voting, but not to the second amendment. Let’s hurry up and finish the conversation before they get around to it, shall we? Let me summarize: regardless of the definition of the word “militia” in the first clause, the conclusion of the statement in the Second Amendment is that an individual right is being discussed, not a collective one.

What KIND of right, to what kind of “arms”? Well, the second amendment wasn’t written about the right to hunt, or target practice, or even the right to carry a concealed pistol for home defense or self-defense. It was referring specifically to military grade weaponry. When the British redcoats marched on Lexington in April of 1775, their purpose was to seize military grade weaponry from the people. The Founders aimed to make sure that never happened again, or that if it did, that the people would be able to resist such tyranny.

Again, compare the first clause to the second, cause and effect. Whether you think the “militia” is what is to be armed, or you think that the “militia” is the reason to be armed, a “militia” doesn’t concern itself with hunting rifles and pocket pistols, does it?

“Assault rifles” are exactly what the founders intended citizens to have, so long as the government did, as well.

Hitler Democrat by Leon Degrelle Paperback now available

image

Hitler Democrat by Leon Degrelle

Price: $39.95

What some people think they ‘know’ about Hitler and his era is nothing close to the truth. In Hitler Democrat the other side of the story is told, as only the great General Leon Degrelle of the Waffen-SS could tell it.

This tremendous work is unlike any other book about World War II—and Adolf Hitler—available anywhere on the face of the planet today. Longtime subscribers of The Barnes Review are familiar with General Degrelle’s remarkable story. When this vibrant Warrior for the West—a much-decorated survivor of the brutal Eastern Front—died in Spain in 1994, he was the last surviving major figure of World War II, a statesman and soldier (at one point the youngest political leader in Europe) acquainted with all of the big names of the European arena, including Churchill, Mussolini, Franco, Laval, Petain and many others, including, of course, needless to say, Adolf Hitler himself.

In fact, Hitler once said that, if he were to have a son, he would want him to be like Leon Degrelle. So it’s more than fitting that in his final years, the retired Belgian general was working relentlessly on the manuscripts that today make up the pages of Hitler Democrat.

The original typescript of this book, written in the early 1990s, had been temporarily lost, but both Degrelle’s wife, Jeanne, and publisher Willis Carto still held earlier drafts of some of Degrelle’s writings. Through a laborious process of careful reconstruction, the staff of The Barnes Review were able to literally resurrect Degrelle’s lost work.

And today, that material appears here in Hitler Democrat for the first time. In the end, this volume is not only a monumental work of history, a genuine epic, but it is also, in its own fashion, a tribute to the man behind it: General Leon Degrelle.

Why you shouldn’t blame the Jews by Billy Roper

Why you shouldn’t blame the Jews.
By Billy Roper

 

     The Democratic National Convention has been a diversity-filled love-in by a coalition of those whom our Founding Fathers, in their infinite wisdom, specifically stated through omission should not vote or be citizens. Open borders, promotion of sexual deviancy, and a multiracial cacophony seem to be the limit of their party platform, oh, except for mass redistributions of wealth right out of ‘Das Kapital’. The drafters of the U.S. Constitution would be aghast. They had a very different vision for America, it would seem. In fact, they put this in writing in the Naturalization Act of 1790, which limited U.S. citizenship to Whites. They felt that it was so important to make this stipulation that they passed the law as soon as the Constitution had been written,
before the Bill of Rights had even been ratified..before a standing army had been established, and before any new national currency was issued. By today’s anti-White standards, their views would be considered White Supremacist. And, just as Lincoln freely admitted nearly a century later about his own, THEY WERE.

 

     Those of us who grew up in the Cold War, viewing Russia as the head of an atheistic ‘Evil Empire’, now find it disconcerting that our former enemy is the current defender of traditionalism, faith, and decency; while the U.S. government pushes race mixing, homosexuality, and every other kind of perversion specifically opposed not only by those who established the United States, but by the Bible which so many Americans still claim to follow, as well.  The Left now accuses Russia of colluding with the Right in the latest DNC e-mail leak scandal. Jews hate Putin, even though he hasn’t taken the gloves off with them , yet. Yes, Communism was founded by Jews, like Karl Marx and Karl Radek in Germany, Bela Kun in Hungary, and Ana Pauker in Romania, and pushed by them, as the name “Bolshevik” itself suggests. So was the NAACP, for that matter. And, of course we had the Rosenbergs, and the role Jews played in promoting the U.S.S.R. and Communism in general for half of the last century. But, there may be another reason why they did so. A reason less political, than organic to their nature.

 

     An interested observer with sympathies for the Jews might wonder at their audacity and, as they call it, their “chutzpah” in continuing to use their own people to advance the most vitriolic anti-White agendas.  John “Leibowitz” Stewart,  Schumer, Feinstein, Al Franken, and Sarah Silverman, and the network reporters all wishing Mazels here and there, for example. Of course, it’s long been noted that having been pogromed and scapegoated, rightly or wrongly, and systematically kicked out of every country they’ve ever parasitically infested over and over again for over a thousand years has shaped the group adaptive survival strategy of the Ashkenazi, or Eastern European, Jews; i.e., those most Historians believe are descended from 5thcentury Khazarite converts to Judaism who are not actually descended from Abraham, and therefore did not inherit his covenant with God, and so, are not actually God’s chosen people. Indeed, from their bitter experience, deserved or not, they learned strong inter-group solidarity and loyalty, but more importantly, they learned that their best bet to avoid being singled out as the “other” again was to undermine the dominant culture and people of each country they found themselves in. That’s why Jews are at the forefront of promoting open borders and interracial marriage and ‘minority rights’, as well as the counterculture, everywhere except for in Israel, of course. Because, it’s their very own racially-based state. They learned that they are safer in a multiracial country where a dozen different races and minorities all fight for their slice of the pie, and the loudest and most shrill minority gets the biggest slice, than they would be in a homogeneous society, where they would stand out.

 

     That’s not precisely what I believe, based on my research, though it is the majority viewpoint. Without getting into a theological discussion, however, while the beginning or origin of the Jews might be debatable, the end result, the observation of their behavior, is self-evidently true.

 

     I certainly can’t blame them for developing that group adaptive survival strategy.  And, I certainly wish that my own people had as strong a sense of inter-group solidarity, and our very own racially-based nation, like they do. It seems to work pretty well for them, to the extent that their camouflage and their control over the news and entertainment industry and the power it gives them has resulted in a status quo where some who read these words will feel an instinctive, irrational panic at anything which questions or suspects the Jews collectively. That’s what we call ‘Jewish Privilege’. If nothing else, for secular Americans, because of the Holocaust, Jews aren’t to be criticized as a group, ever, no matter what they do. Likewise, for misinformed Judeo-Christians who mistakenly believe that those who call themselves Jews today, in a Revelations 2:9 and 3:9 sense, are God’s chosen people, and think that He will bless those who bless the Jews, and curse those who curse them, they’re safe.

 

     It may be that, if the other side had won in W.W. II, and Communism had been destroyed, there might not have been a wasted half century of Cold War, or it might have been a different one. There might not have been an Israel, but there might have been a Madagascar. What there would not have been, of course, is the flooding of Muslims into Europe and the flooding of Mexicans and everybody else into the U.S.. That’s not exactly the Jews’ fault, really, as I’ll explain in a moment, however much they might promote it…even though adding more Muslims does NOT make a society more Jew-friendly, obviously, as an example of more suicidally self-destructive behavior on their part.

 

     But how wise is it for them to keep using their own, obviously Jewish, faces as shills? Don’t they remember what happened the last time a country became Jew-conscious? I suppose they believe that, even if America breaks up and, like every successful parasite, they kill their host, they can always just make Aliyah and move to Israel, held in reserve by those who use their Jewish diaspora to pressure formerly White controlled nations to give them billions of dollars a year in military and economic welfare, and fight their wars for them to the point of formulating our entire foreign policy around their interests, rather than our own. One might question how successful they would be without us. But maybe they just can’t help it, too. Jews like Jonathon Pollard spy for Israel even though we give them our best military hardware, already. They have nuclear bombs, but they still want more. They control our news and entertain media and the electoral process, but still want more. To a large extent, their hubris, their, yes, “chutzpah” seems self-defeating, but they really can’t help themselves. Being self-promoting victims, whining and kvetching and nagging and pushy, is what they do. We can’t blame them for just acting according to their nature.

 

     On the contrary, we should blame ourselves for not ridding ourselves of our parasites, for not maintaining control over our own banking systems, our own borders, our own foreign policy, our own culture, our own news and entertainment media, and our own electoral process. Literally, nobody has done or can do anything to us that we don’t allow them to. It is not in our nature, as it is in theirs, to play victim and cry out in pain as we strike our enemies. Don’t blame others for what has happened to America economically or in terms of global prestige. Don’t blame other races for violence, for crime, for the illegal immigrant invasion, or for the lop-sided black on White crime rates. Don’t blame the Jews for the fact that within a generation, the people who founded this nation will be a minority in it. Blame those among our own who have let it happen, sitting idly by and doing nothing, saying nothing, for fear of being called a “racist”, or an “Anti-Semite”. Point to those who have stepped off the sidewalk, avoided the wrong parts of town,  hung their heads, and bit their lips. If four of those fingers are pointing back at you, make them into a fist, and get uncucked. Otherwise, when you watch the Democratic National Convention, punctuated by the latest Muslim terror attack, you’re looking at your children’s futures. Things are looking darker and darker, aren’t they? But, don’t blame the Jews.

Who Killed Martin Luther King Jr.? by James Earl Ray Book Review

82145.jpg

Who Killed Martin Luther King Jr.? by James Earl Ray

Over the years, I personally have met and interacted with many disreputable people, including some who tell some pretty fanciful tales about themselves, which in turn has made me very incredulous. James Earl Ray is a man who falls into this category, although I have never met him personally. The establishment version of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination seems very specious when analyzed, unfortunately, we may never get the definite answers that we are looking for.

Over the years countless books and articles have been written on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the conspiracy that surrounds that particular crime. Who Killed Martin Luther King Jr.?(1997) is very unique when compared to these other works, in that it is written by the alleged assassin. This was the second book I have read on the subject, the first book being the Making of an Assassin by George McMillan which I have already reviewed on my site. An interesting fact that surrounds this assassination is that James Earl Ray never had an official trial, and subsequently the family of King has come forward in hopes of getting him justice to once and for all set the record straight.

James Earl Ray is an invaluable source on this assassination conspiracy, but we must not take everything he says at face value. We can read what Ray has written and keep a healthy dose of skepticism of the veracity of his affirmations. Make no mistake about it, this assassination was a conspiracy by the textbook definition. This was an illegal act that was completely and utterly done by the collusion of two or more people. We must analyze this book and take it for what it is, that being a very skewed perspective with some factual information sprinkled in. That being said we can still learn a lot if we analyze this book carefully and try to discern the truth from fiction. This book was biased in its own way, just as the Making of an Assassin is also biased in its own way.

It was disappointing to see that the foreword was written by an uppity black civil wrongs activist, such as the ‘Reverent’ Jesse Jackson. I was also disappointed at the great lengths Ray went at attempting to avoid being labeled as a ‘racist’. In the Making of an Assassin the author makes Ray out to be a petty thief, who is self educated, but is lacking in the grammar department. This book was either very heavily edited or ghost written, judging by the vernacular that the author used in his writing, but I would lean toward it being heavily edited. When we have two extremes, it is usually something in between, if I had to guess I would say Ray was most certainly above average intelligence.

The unfortunate thing is we will most likely never get the true story of what happened. Who Killed Martin Luther King Jr.? Was it the Mossad? the CIA?  the Government? or did James Earl Ray, the inept criminal do the deed himself? We most likely will never know, but nevertheless this book does shed some light on the case. I enjoyed both books, and I am glad I read them, but I still lack the answers I was looking for. In my opinion I do not think that James Earl Ray acted alone, but he did indeed have something to do with it. If you can pick this book up cheap used it will be worth the money, as well as the Making of an Assassin by George McMillan.

Will Putin Get a Pulitzer? by Patrick J. Buchanan

Will Putin Get a Pulitzer?By Patrick J. Buchanan

Waving off the clerics who had come to administer last rites, Voltaire said: “All my life I have ever made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous.’ And God granted it.”

The tale of the thieved emails at the Democratic National Committee is just too good to be true.

For a year, 74-year-old Socialist Bernie Sanders has been saying that, under DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the party has been undercutting his campaign and hauling water for Hillary Clinton.

From the 19,200 emails dumped the weekend before Clinton’s coronation, it appears the old boy is not barking mad. The deck was stacked; the referees were in the tank; the game was rigged.

For four decades, some of us have wondered what Jim McCord, security man at CREEP, and his four Cubans were looking for in DNC Chair Larry O’Brien’s office at the Watergate. Now it makes sense.

Among the lovely schemes the DNC leaders worked up to gut Sanders in Christian communities of West Virginia and Kentucky, was to tell these good folks that Sanders doesn’t even believe that there is a God. He’s not even an agnostic; he’s an atheist.

The idea was broached by DNC chief financial officer Brad Marshall in an email to DNC chief executive officer Amy Dacey:

“Does [Bernie] believe in a God. He has skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and atheist.”

Dacey emailed back, “Amen.”

In 1960, John F. Kennedy went before the Houston ministers to assert the right of a Catholic to be president of the United States. Is the “Marshall Plan,” to quietly spread word Bernie Sanders is a godless atheist, now acceptable politics in the party of Barack Obama?

If Marshall and Dacey are still around at week’s end, we will know.

The WikiLeaks dump came Friday night. By Sunday, Clinton’s crowd had unleashed the mechanical rabbit, and the press hounds were dutifully chasing it. The new party line: The Russians did it!

Clinton campaign chief Robert Mook told ABC, “experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke in to the DNC, took all these emails, and now they are leaking them out through the Web sites. … some experts are now telling us that this was done by the Russians for the purpose of helping Donald Trump.”

Monday, Clinton chairman John Podesta said there is a “kind of bromance going on” between Trump and Vladimir Putin. Campaign flack Brian Fallon told CNN, “There is a consensus among experts that it is indeed Russia that is behind this hack of the DNC.”

Purpose: Change the subject. Redirect the media away from the DNC conspiracy to sabotage Sanders’ campaign.

Will the press cooperate?

In 1971, The New York Times published secret documents from the Kennedy-Johnson administration on how America got involved in Vietnam. Goal: Discredit the war the Times had once supported, and undercut the war effort, now that Richard Nixon was president.

The documents, many marked secret, had been illicitly taken from Defense Department files, copied, and published by the Times.

America’s newspaper of record defended its actions by invoking “the people’s right to know” the secrets of their government.

Well, do not the people have “a right to know” of sordid schemes of DNC operatives to sink a presidential campaign?

Do the people not have a right to know that, in denying Sanders’ charges, the leadership of the DNC was lying to him, lying to the party, and lying to the country?

What did Clinton know of Wasserman Schultz’s complicity in DNC cheating in the presidential campaign, and when did she know it?

For publishing stolen Defense Department secrets, the Pentagon Papers, the Times got a Pulitzer Prize.

If the Russians were helpful in bringing to the attention of the American people the anti-democratic business being done at the DNC, perhaps the Russians deserve similar recognition.

By the Times’ standard of 1971, maybe Putin deserves a Pulitzer.

Undeniably, if the Russians or any foreign actors are interfering in U.S. presidential elections, we ought to know it, and stop it.

But who started all this?

Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. has used cyberwarfare to sabotage centrifuges in the Iranian nuclear plant in Natanz. We have backed “color-coded” revolutions in half a dozen countries from Serbia to Ukraine to Georgia — to dump rulers and regimes we do not like, all in the name of democracy.

Unsurprisingly, today, Russia, China, Egypt and even Israel are shutting down or booting out NGOs associated with the United States, and hacking into websites of U.S. institutions.

We were the first “experts” to play this game. Now others know how to play it. We reap what we sow.
