According to Bob Baer, writing in the Pacific Free Press: What Stockwell had seen as an operative in Africa and across the Third World was a CIA that was purely interventionist – not gathering intelligence, but brutally machinating, vicious, a secret weapon of US presidents and White House policymakers to battle the Soviets for world control.

“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice” was the biggest applause line of Barry Goldwater’s speech accepting his party’s nomination as a presidential candidate. It is probably also the most misunderstood, ripped-out-of-context line in a speech that stands, even today, as a succinct definition of conservatism. Surprisingly, in 3,186 words, Goldwater never used any form of the word “conservative” in this famous speech. This stood ...

From the May 28, 2012, issue of NR. This magazine has long specialized in debunking pernicious political myths, and Jonah Goldberg has now provided an illuminating catalogue of tyrannical clichés, but worse than the myth and the cliché is the outright lie, the utter fabrication with malice aforethought, and my nominee for the worst of them is the popular but indefensible belief that the two major U.S ...

After UN Official, Bang-Jensen, Blew the Whistle on a UN Coverup of Soviet Atrocities in Hungary, he was Fired, Persecuted, and Eventually Died in a Suspicious “Suicide.”
Paul Bang-JensenAfter blowing the whistle on the UN, Paul (Povl) Bang-Jensen (shown), a United Nations official from Denmark, warned his wife and friends never to believe it if they were told that he had “committed suicide.” Then, supposedly, he “committed suicide.” That tragedy took place more than 50 years ago.
