James Risen (Author, American Journalist,).
An act of government that presumes it knows what is good for everyone mocks omniscience.
The GAO (Government Accountability Office) finds President Trump broke the law by delaying Ukrainian military aid.
Today, it is terrorism; yesterday, it was communism, day before yesterday, it was Japanese internment camps.
James Risen’s “Pay Any Price” exposes government hubris that tortures suspected terrorists and invades personal privacy to feed human greed and desire for power; all under the guise of protecting America.
Japanese internment during WWII.
Guantanamo tramples human rights; the red-scare of the 1950s breeds mistrust of elected officials, and Japanese internment camps during WWII stain the American’ conscience.
Greed and power are two of the three motivations for endless war.
The third is presumed status which leads to a false sense of omniscience and hubris.
Sadly, 9/11 is not the first or last terrorist event in America’s future but without a measure of human freedom, America loses more than it gains by suspecting everyone is a terrorist.
Government should protect Americans from the greed and power of the few over the many, rather than concoct wasteful government programs that only feed the worst parts of human nature.
President Trump believes he knows best and fails to seek the advice or counsel of those who are in a position to offer a more balanced perspective.
Few, if any, would suggest Qassem Soleimani was not a murderer of Americans. But what price has been paid by the world for Trump’s unilateral decision to have Soleimani assassinated?
There is no question–institutional discrimination exists in the United States, and it victimizes American minorities.
Demonstrations that destroy public property and federal government intervention are equally reprehensible events. Neither serves the goal of achieving equal opportunity for all Americans.
Violence is a consequence of a willingness to “Pay Any Price”.
