Sept. 18, 2015, 4:09 a.m.
Wikipedia, that Internet Guardian of the official narrative, does not admit that drug trafficking played a part in the bu$ine$$ of Iran-Contra. In our first hour, first hand testimony about the flying plane loads of cocaine into USA, and how this was connected in a young man's mind to arms dealing, money laundering, serving one's country. In our second hour, a vintage episode of Radio Free America centers on the assassination of Barry Seal, and its relationship to Iran Contra, revealing that even as it was unraveling, some commentators had grasped the relevance of drug smuggling.

Abduction of former ICTR Assistant Investigator Ntirugiribambe in Nairobi
Sept. 16, 2015, 7:22 p.m.
Leopold Nysngiyumva explains the abduction of Jean Chrysostome Ntirugirbambe (Chryso) with whom he worked at the UN ICTR and with whom he became friends. This blatant act of criminal aggression was committed in broad daylight in Nairobi, Kenya, with spectators who ran from the abductors' flying bullets.
Chryso was a captain in the Rwandan military in 1994. Many people have testified how he helped people and saved Tutsi lives during the massacres. Phil Taylor, an investigator at the ICTR described Chryso: "...soft spoken, very intelligent, very respected by all parties in Arusha. There was no question about character of the man. He was vetted to become a UN defense attorney."
Key questions: Why did not the UN ICTR protect Chryso, and why aren't they doing anything now? The ICTR guaranteed protection for investigators, lawyers, witnesses. Why is the international community not even condemning Chryso's arrest and kidnapping? Who of those hired by the ICTR will be next? Why does the Kagame regime get away with abductions, torture and murders of those who testified against him?
Taylor concludes: We could have had a tribunal ending impunity and instead we ended up with Mr. Kagame who has immunity and poor Chryso, who is most likely either in a Rwandan prison or has been killed.
Kill Bernadotte: How Shamir's Stern Gang murdered a UN Mediator and got away with it
Sept. 16, 2015, 7:14 p.m.
In this third and last part of interview with Fred Jerome, Phil Taylor (interviewer) and Jerome focus on Jerome's book "Einstein on Israel and Zionism." Einstein's moral stand against a Zionist fascist state and a need to be part of the anti-colonial project was ignored by the US imperialist agenda. Why?
Jerome delves into the fascist Zionist gangs, such as the Stern Gang, who set up the assassination of Bernadotte and who were never punished, but instead celebrated on an Israeli TV show, "This Is Your Life." Why?
Jerome explains the history of Zionism from the beginning was designed to be the "cats-paw for imperialism that was moving toward Asia --- and the Middle East would be a stepping stone to Asia." Is that why the US gives over $3 billion in military aid a year to Israel? Is the US merely maintaining its giant military base in the Middle East --meaning the whole state of Israel?
Jerome and Phil compare Israel's brutal colonial treatment against the Palestinians to the US brutal colonial treatment of the Native American Indians. Phil notes Moshe Dian's quipping that the Palestinians are basically Israel's Indians. They conclude that Americans condemning the Zionist project while ignoring the genocide against the American Indians and racism against people of color is hypocritical and dangerous.

Dr John Marciano - Empire As A Way Of Life 10
Sept. 16, 2015, 6:08 p.m.
Dr John Marciano continues his public seminar series with 'Empire as a Way of Life' ....... a monthly lecture and discussion presented until June of 2007. See schedule below: Parenti, Against Empire, Chapters 5 - 8. See also Dr Marciano's seminars on Howard Zinn's "People's History"
A fundamental purpose of our meetings is to understand the systemic nature of the U.S. Empire and the economic and military imperialism that is its lifeblood. The historian William Appleman Williams argues that empire became "a way of life" in the U.S., a "combination of patterns of thought and action that, as it becomes habitual and institutionalized, defines the thrust and character of a culture and society." This "way of life" has convinced many U.S. "Americans" they have a right or "manifest destiny" to impose their political and economic policies upon others.
Dr John Marciano is Professor Emeritus, State University of New York, where he taught courses on social and historical foundations of education and class , gender and race.
Email copies of the notes are available with full text.
