US Lawmakers Alarmed by UN Report on N. Korea
"To supplement its foreign earnings, North Korea long been engaged in illicit and questionable international transactions. These transactions are reported to include the surreptitious transfer of nuclear and ballistic missile-related equipment, know-how and technology, illicit drug and cigarette smuggling and counterfeiting of currencies and cigarettes." - Report to the Security Council
The secretive Stalinist/Kimist state--China's vassal--is still exporting nuclear and missile materials to Iran, Syria, and Burma, according to the United Nations; and American lawmakers are (at last) alarmed. Click here to read Bridget Johnson's article in The Hill.

Shame on the USA: Suppressed 600-Page Report on Postwar CIA Support for Nazis
Worse Than Expected
The truth shall set you free.
In the name of anti-Communism, the United States cynically--and stupidly--recruited and imported high-ranking Nazi war criminals and collaborators and actually turned the U.S. into a postwar haven for Nazi killers.
Often overlooked are the ways in which the clandestine program shaped U.S. foreign policy and blew back in the form of disastrous, covert schemes and plots aimed at rolling back--as opposed to simply containing--the Soviet Union.
The same morally reprehensible "pragmatism" that rationalized the Nazi embrace was also used to justify support for the Afghan jihad--a secret intervention that was started by the catastrophic Carter administration in order to lure the Soviets into invading Afghanistan and subsequently expanded by the Reagan administration into the largest-ever U.S. covert operation. It succeeded in bleeding--and helped to topple--the Soviet empire. But the conflict also unleashed the global Islamist monster that attacked the U.S. on 9/11 and is now bleeding--and threatening to destroy--the West.
