Lol ... 'officer asked me ... whether i opposed the 'ideology of the United States' ... can you imagine ... 'umm, could you define precisely what you mean by 'ideology' please sir' ... 'if you mean the part about freedom of speech and of assembly, well then no, i am rather impressed by that and do not oppose it' ... and you?' -gg- ..... without question all those police state 'anti-terrorist' powers will be used for political purposes ''Once the US is in Cuba who will get her out?' 'I have lived inside the monster and know its entrails.' ... José Martí ''This [the Cuban] population is made up of whites, blacks, Asians and people who are mixture of these races. The inhabitants are generally indolent and apathetic – Since they only possess a vague notion of what is right and wrong, the people tend to seek pleasure not through work, but through violence – It is obvious that the immediate annexation of these disturbing elements into our own federation in such large numbers would be madness, so before we do that we must clean up the country – We must destroy everything within our cannons' range of fire. We must impose a harsh blockade so that hunger and its constant companion, disease, undermine the peaceful population and decimate the army. The allied army must be constantly engaged in reconaissance and vanguard actions so that the Cuban army is irreparably caught between two fronts.' ' .... US Under-Secretary of War J.C. Breckenridge rcgfrfi.easynet.co.uk ''I spent 33 years and four months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force - the Marine Corps. I served in all commisioned ranks from second lieutenant to major-general. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism... thus I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank to collect revenues in... I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras `right' for American fruit companies in 1903.' ' ... retired General Smedley D. Butler, in his memoirs in 1935

I knew in the late sixties a canadian who could not cross the border because one time in the fifties when he was maybe eighteen or twenty and as a BC logger off on a jaunt likely had a bellyful of beer in him, he was asked The Question - 'are you a communist' ... might have been the HUAC form - 'are you now or have you ever been a communist', don't know ..... now this guy wouldn't have had a clue what a communist was, trust me, i worked with him, a more apolitical creature you could not imagine ... anyway, he thought he'd have a little fun with these jerkoff play-cops in the funny uniforms, and he flipped out - 'yes' Never got across the border again, up to the mid-seventies or so anyway, i lost track of him since then ... they probably have him on file still ... he tried writing a few times and saying 'hey just kidding' [like he had said immediately after that 'yes'], but it didn't matter, he was blacklisted
