Harper advisor calls for assassination of Wikileaks director Posted by looncanada 30 Nov 2010 In a shockingly flippant comment to a Canadian television news anchor Evan Solomon of the CBC News Network on live TV, Tom Flanagan, a senior advisor and strategist to the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper today called for the assassination of Wikileaks director Julian Assange.... Amazingly, although news anchor Solomon afforded Flanagan the opportunity to retract his statement, Flanagan balked at doing so and instead reiterated that U.S. President should put out a "contract" on Assange or use "a drone" and that he would not be unhappy if Assange "disappeared."
Yes, THAT is what America/some in Canada has/have become [even though this was but one deranged person - this is a commonly shared and growing 'idea']. How, I ask, does this differ from the behavior of the SS or Gestapo; Stalin's GRU and other kill agencies....and I could name others we all revile....

We learned NOTHING from WWII [or I - or any war or conflict! - nothing from the Enlightenment through the various battles for Peace, Freedom, Justice, Human Rights over the last centuries]; nothing from the Nuremberg Principles and Trials; We have in fact learned nothing from history and the history of humanist/progressive/anti-Oligarchic ideas. We are barbarian/serfs again - having come full circle...I know why, but that is too long a diatribe for this thread.
