Debs’ Canton Speech on Imperial Hubris <\/strong>How stupid and shortsighted the ruling class really is! Cupidity is stone blind. It has no vision. The greedy, profit-seeking exploiter cannot see beyond the end of his nose. He can see a chance for an \u201copening\u201d; he is cunning enough to know what graft is and where it is, and how it can be secured, but vision he has none\u2014not the slightest. He knows nothing of the great throbbing world that spreads out in all directions. He has no capacity for literature; no appreciation of art; no soul for beauty. That is the penalty the parasites pay for the violation of the laws of life. The Rockefellers are blind. Every move they make in their game of greed but hastens their own doom. …And here let me emphasize the fact\u2014and it cannot be repeated too often\u2014that the working class who fight all the battles, the working class who make the supreme sacrifices, the working class who freely shed their blood and furnish the corpses, have never yet had a voice in either declaring war or making peace. It is the ruling class that invariably does both. They alone declare war and they alone make peace.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yours not to reason why;
\nYours but to do and die.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is their motto and we object on the part of the awakening workers of this nation.<\/p>\n

If war is right let it be declared by the people. You who have your lives to lose, you certainly above all others have the right to decide the momentous issue of war or peace. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 www.marxists.org\/archive\/debs\/works\/1918\/canton.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

What Becomes of the Empire’s Returning Cannon Fodder? T<\/strong>he way it worked was that they joined the Army because they were starry-eyed or heartbroken or maybe just out of work, and then they were assigned to be in the infantry rather than to something with better odds, like finance or public affairs, and then by chance they were assigned to an infantry division that was about to rotate into the war, and then they were randomly assigned to a combat brigade that included two infantry battalions, one of which was going to a bad place and the other of which was going to a worse place, and then they were assigned to the battalion going to the worse place, and then they were assigned to the company in that battalion which went to the worst place of all. If you listen to the eulogies, so much of war is said to be accidental. Poor Harrelson. Wrong place. Poor Cajimat. Wrong time. But for members of Bravo Company, which in 2007 and 2008 spent fourteen months in combat, in a bomb-filled neighborhood in east Baghdad, the war eventually felt like the wrong everything. Twenty-five-year-old Nic DeNinno was in 3rd Platoon. He thought of himself as a patriot who had enlisted in the Army for the noblest of reasons: to contribute and to make some kind of difference. Then he punched his first Iraqi in the face, and pushed his first Iraqi down the stairs. Now he was back in the United States, crying and telling his wife, Sascha, \u201cI feel like a monster.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 www.newyorker.com\/reporting\/2013\/09\/09\/130909fa_fact_finkel<\/a><\/p>\n

A Counterbalance to the Hyper-nationalist September 11 surge ahead <\/strong>on September 11, 1973, the Chilean military led by General Augusto Pinochet, crushed the democratically elected Unidad Popular government of Salvador Allende.<\/p>\n

The objective was to replace a progressive, democratically elected government by a brutal military dictatorship.
\nThe military coup was supported by the CIA. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger played a direct role in the military plot. (For details see globalresearch.ca\/articles\/KOR309A.html<\/a> and references below).
\nIn the weeks leading up the coup, US Ambassador Nathaniel Davis and members of the CIA held meetings with Chile’s top military brass together with the leaders of the National Party and the ultra-right nationalist front Patria y Libertad. While the undercover role the Nixon administration is amply documented, what is rarely mentioned in media reports is the fact that the military coup was also supported by a sector of the Christian Democratic Party. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 globalresearch.ca\/articles\/CHO309A.html<\/a><\/p>\n
