Mike Mullen's first public speech pays homage to the Center for a New American Security

remember my post from last week where i listed all of the board members, trustees and advisors of the center for strategic and international studies and the center for a new american security...? guess what organization the new chairman of the joint chiefs of staff gave his first public speech to...? why, cnas, of course... as dear, departed molly ivins used to say in her so very colorful way, "ya gotta dance with them whut brung ya..."


Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Mike Mullen gives his first public speech since becoming chairman at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, Oct. 25, 2007. The event was hosted by the Center for a New American Security which develops strong national security and defense policies promoting and safeguarding American interests and values.

remember now, csis and cnas are led by such populist, progressive and peace-loving folks as richard armitage, zbigniew brzezinski, william s. cohen, ray hunt, henry kissinger, the recently-ousted stanley o'neal of merrill lynch, brent scowcroft, william perry, madeleine albright, rand beers, and michael o'hanlon, to name a few... we can certainly count on folks like THESE to safeguard our "interests and values," no...? mike mullen knows which side his bread is buttered on...

more from molly...

The United States of America is still run by its citizens. The government works for us. Rank imperialism and warmongering are not American traditions or values. We do not need to dominate the world. We want and need to work with other nations. We want to find solutions other than killing people. Not in our name, not with our money, not with our children's blood.

These are the people who are laying the groundwork for a national security state through climate change

you could see this one coming a mile away...

Climate change could be one of the greatest national security challenges ever faced by U.S. policy makers, according to a new joint study by two U.S. think tanks.

The report, to be released Monday, raises the threat of dramatic population migrations, wars over water and resources, and a realignment of power among nations.

During the last two decades, climate scientists have underestimated how quickly the Earth is changing — perhaps to avoid being branded as "alarmists," the study said. But policy planners should count on climate-induced instability in critical parts of the world within 30 years.

The report was compiled by a panel of security and climate specialists, sponsored by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Center for a New American Security. The Associated Press received an advance copy.

all fear, all the time... gotta keep us peasants quivering in our boots so we gladly hand over our few remaining rights in the false hope of security...

honest to pete... just LOOK at those names... not one advocate for peace or human rights among the lot of 'em...these are the very people who have taken us to the brink of a police state, advocated for illegal wars, profited obscenely from every war and conflict waged around the globe, and essentially dictated our country's agenda and the lives of its citizens for decades... so, tell me again why they should be trusted with ANYTHING...?
