First they came for ConsortiumNews, and I did not speak out—

382. You are wrong, NuclearDem.

This OP is utterly fucking reprehensible, and you should be ashamed of yourself for it, using Niemoller (sic) to defend fascist apologia.

Like Martin Niemöller, ConsortiumNews stands up to NAZIs. Why you can't see that is not my problem, it's your business.

Here's a nice compendium to back up what I wrote:

Ronald Reagan's Bloody Apocalypto
For many Americans who have watched Mel Gibson's Apocalypto, the pain of the fictional ancient Mayas in the movie is more real than the actual suffering of real Mayas who were tortured and slaughtered in the 1980s with the help of then-President Ronald Reagan. When a right-wing military dictator was waging this modern genocide against Mayas, Reagan was busy covering the killers' tracks and giving them more efficient weapons to carry out the task. But that history now is less known to Americans than Gibson's faux history of 500 years ago. December 17, 2006

Pinochet's Death Spares Bush Family
The heart-attack death of notorious Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet means the Bush Family can breathe a little easier, knowing the criminal cases against Pinochet can no longer implicate his longtime friend and protector, George H.W. Bush. Pinochet also was protected from facing justice by George W. Bush, who sidetracked an FBI recommendation to indict Pinochet for the terrorist murder of a Chilean dissident and an American woman in Washington in 1976. December 12, 2006

Evita, the Swiss & the Nazis
New evidence, including documents from Swiss archives, buttresses old suspicions that Argentine legend Eva Peron helped pull together the loose ends of a Nazi escape network after World War II. These “ratlines” turned Argentina and South America into safe havens for fugitive followers of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini -- with violent consequences that continue to the present day. By Georg Hodel. January 7, 1999

The compromises of Germany's World War II generation. October 25, 1998

Argentine Dirty Warriors implicated in funnelling drug money to the Nicaraguan contras were also connected to a Nazi-like scheme of plundering the personal property of death camp victims, with the proceeds going into Swiss banks. Sept. 19, 1998

Argentina's Dapper State-Terrorist
Former Argentine dictator Jorge Rafael Videla, another Reagan favorite, faces new charges in a baby-harvesting scandal. August 19, 1998

BTW: Blaming ConsortiumNews and me for what Putin does in Russia not only is a non-sequitur, it's a great propaganda technique.
