Greenwald: 4 points about the 1971 FBI break-in

81. Actually I think they did learn from the Vietnam era. Unfortunately since their goals are not

honorable, they learned how to try to avoid mistakes they made back then leading in the end, to an end to their wars for a while. They learned, 'never have a draft again' because a draft means EVERYONE is going to get involved.

They learned to crack down EARLY and with massive force as soon as people begin to take to the streets, see Occupy Wall St.

They learned that in order to get their wars going again they would have to engage in massive amounts of 'patriotic' propaganda and to USE tragedies such as 9/11 to silence anyone who dared to disagree with them.

Apparently they never went away, the criminals from back then. Cheney and Rumsfeld eg are relics from the Nixon Administration among others.

Had the rule of law been applied after the Iran Contra affair and Watergate this country would be very different today. What WE learned was that when you don't properly prosecute real traitors, they will return again and again to continue their criminal activities.

And once again they got off the hook AFTER we learned for sure that Bush/Cheney lied this country into war. So they are still here, still controlling things and will until one day the country will have had enough.
