Blatant Obstruction of (in)Justice, or,
Witness Intimidation?
GOOD COVID/LOCKDOWN/COVAX ADVICE.
Many years ago, someone sent me a book that had been out of print for awhile, and it was so old, the pages were literally falling out.
Despite the condition of the book, it opened my eyes further to the corruption, callousness, and lies of the U.S. Empire, it is:
The Hidden History of the Korean War by IF Stone.
Apparently, there is a new edition published a couple of months ago, which is available at the dreaded A-word site. (Linked at the photo). I highly recommend.
From the description at the link:
Proxy wars, it seems, are more openly practiced than ever―and yet one of the worst of these was suppressed and “forgotten” even in its own time. At the height of the McCarthy era and the inception of the Cold War, the great journalist I.F. Stone released The Hidden History of the Korean War, a courageous work of investigative journalism that demolished the official story of America’s so-called “forgotten war.” As the war spiraled to its conclusion, Stone closely analyzed openly available U.S. intelligence narratives on the war’s official start, and the actions of key players like John Foster Dulles, General Douglas MacArthur, and Chiang Kai-shek. The result of his investigations was a controversial book that raised questions about the origin of the war, made a case that the U.S. government had manipulated the United Nations, and gave evidence that the U.S. military and South Korean oligarchy dragged out the war by sabotaging peace talks. With a new introduction by Tim Beal and Greg Elich, 70 years after its initial publication The Hidden History of the Korean War remains a powerful dissemination of the ‘hidden history’ behind the dominant historical narrative, as relevant as ever.

Anyway, I am just plugging this book because of the IF Stone quote above. I believe a journalist who risked everything (like Shireen Abu Akleh, Julian Assange and/or Gonzalo Lira) to expose U.S. Imperialism at a time when the Cold War was heating up AND the Military Industrial Complex was high off of WWII should be heard, and remembered, over the weasely and violent generals and politicians.
As of this writing, tomorrow, Bunter Hiden’s ex-BFF and business partner will be testifying in Congress in a closed hearing about what he knows about The Biden Crime Family.
Let’s be clear, (as Karine Jean-Pierre always says, but I mean it), Devon Archer, said ex-BFF is NOT a good guy and is not an honest person.
Devon Archer Sentenced To A Year And A Day In Prison For The Fraudulent Issuance And Sale Of More Than $60 Million Of Tribal Bonds
But the plot thickens.
Archer’s case has been going through the appeals process since he was convicted in 2018 and sentenced in Feb 2020—so, on Saturday July 29, the weaponized DOJ sent a letter to the trial judge asking her to set a date for his incarceration. Who works on Saturday in the legal system?
From an article in Politico:
On Saturday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York wrote to trial judge Ronnie Abrams and asked her to schedule a date for Archer to report to prison, after the Second Circuit Court of Appeals finalized an order days earlier upholding his one-year sentence.
The court isn’t expected to make a decision before Archer will meet behind closed doors with the House Oversight Committee, meaning that even if the court ultimately sides with the request Archer wouldn’t have to report to prison before the meeting. And his attorney said in a statement that he will move forward with his planned appearance Monday.
A spokesperson for the office of United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York declined to comment on the filing or the timing of the letter. But according to the one-page letter, filed by assistant U.S. attorney Negar Tekeei, prosecutors had asked Archer’s attorney to recommend a reporting date in light of the Second Circuit ruling but were rebuffed.
Archer’s counsel, according to the DOJ letter, said it was “premature” to set a sentencing date because Archer was considering further appeals and intended to raise an “error” in the sentencing process. Archer’s lawyer plans to file a response to the U.S. attorney’s demands by Wednesday.
Even though Archer, the liar and cheat’s, attorney says that they don’t think it is an attempt at witness intimidation, the history of the DOJ being used against Republican criminals (fine by me) and in support of Democrat criminals (not fine by me), the timing could not be more transparent.
So, the Red Liars and Cheats are after the Blue Liars and Cheats and I am wondering if popcorn has more fiber than carbs, because these scandals are certainly getting more scandalriffic!!!!

It's exhausting to keep up with the lies, the deliberate distractions, the game players...now I get why folks just tune out.
The Korean or "Forgotten" War (Truman called it a "Police Action" at the time, and Harry was given some Hell over that remark, even though the Hiroshima-Nagasaki Bomb Drop thing was a Pass-Pass for Truman) I didn't know so much about, outside of "M*A*S*H," which really wasn't about Korea at all, but Vietnam; however, I did read David Halberstam's "The Coldest Winter" and some research reported that the US had dropped between 30 and 40, 000 thousand tons of Napalm on Koreans in less than 3 years--and here I was thinking that Vietnam was the "Napalm War"! I look forward to reading Mr Stone's book, and thank you for the heads up!
