Edward S. Herman, gli USA e la rete del "Terrore"

Edward S. Herman

Edward S. Herman

"I legami tra gli Stati Uniti e il SSN [Sicurezza States National] sono chiare e potenti ... E ', ancora una volta, una testimonianza del potere e il patriottismo della Stampa libera che, non solo il terrorismo del SSN sia sottovalutato , ma il ruolo degli Stati Uniti in qualità di sponsor - il Padrino - di questa vera e propria rete del terrore è nascosto alla vista ... gli Stati Uniti sono raffigurati come uno spettatore innocente, che di tanto in tanto commette errori nella sua ansia di proteggere i cittadini dell'America Latina dai mali del comunismo, ma con il rimpianto di eventuali eccessi che possono a volte verificarsi lì. Questa incredibile pretesa viene effettuata attraverso e nonostante il record storico di un ruolo apertamente annunciato di padrino che risale almeno al 1823 (la dottrina Monroe), con un interventismo più o meno costante da allora, il notevole grado di omogeneità all'interno del SSN, e il recente record del nostro ruolo nella sponsorizzazione e gestione della rete del terrore."

The linkages between the United States and the NSSs [National Security States] are clear and powerful ... It is, once again, a testimonial to the power and patriotism of the Free Press that, not only is the terrorism of the NSSs underrated, but the role of the United States as the sponsor - the Godfather - of this real terror network is hidden from view ... the United States is portrayed as an innocent bystander, occasionally making mistakes in its anxiety to protect the citizens of Latin America from the evils of Communism, but regretful of any excesses that may sometimes occur there. This amazing pretense is carried through despite the historical record of an openly announced role of Godfather dating back at least to 1823 (the Monroe Doctrine), the more or less steady interventionism since then, the remarkable degree of homogeneity within the NSSs, and the recent record of our role in sponsoring and managing the terror network."
