I was never interested in writing political or economic essays, and if today I write articles it is because of my intrinsic needs to understand the world we live in. In my writing, I have been discovering my truth and at the beginning I could never have believed to find out the breaking of many myths such as the patriotism of former Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow, the integrity of Prime Minister Jean Chretien, the democratic election of President George Bush, the wealth of a nation because of the stock market, and so forth. The message is that we have to find our own truth and this message has become more urgent as we are unconsciously brainwashed by our corporate media and abused by the big corporations and their appointed governments.

I find the sources of my writing mostly on the Internet and hyperlinking from one web page to the next, and as I write a new article another one springs up as a consequence. Some time ago we uncovered the fallacy of our neoclassical economists in spreading the gospel of the Free Market and we pointed out how Nobel Prize Winner Milton Friedman successfully experimented his Free Market policies in Chile while this country was run over by Dictator General Augusto Pinochet.

And referring to the take over of Chile by General Pinochet I find today that Dr. Henry Kissinger is being accused of being a criminal who should be brought to justice. Here we have composed Dr. Henry Kissinger selling his grave, slow and stuttering voice to audiences around the world and to the big media corporations and now we find out that not only he is a fraud but he is an un-apprehended criminal as well. Isn't this a profound truth? Henry Kissinger is alleged to have been a participant in war crimes in Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Chile and East Timor and there is no political will in the United States to bring him to justice.

Hypocrite Henry Kissinger has written the book "Does America Need a Foreign Policy?" and I think why should America have any foreign policies when we have so many Kissingers plotting revolutions and assassinations around the world. We understand now why Henry Kissinger doesn't believe in an universal system of justice and this is why he writes:

"But any universal system should contain procedures not only to punish the wicked, but to constrain the righteous. It must not allow legal principles to be used as weapons to settle political scores"

This statement reminds me of the current accusations by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi that Italian magistrates have been using the court to settle political scores against him. We have reached a high level of political corruption, and with the preaching of the Free Market along with the Stock Market, God only knows what this limit will be.

Dr. Henry Kissinger has been accused of participating in the 1970 killing of Chilean General Rene Schneider and as a consequence Schneider's sons have just filed a lawsuit against him and other Nixon administration officials.

There are many more myths to tear down as we work to reclaim our democracy.
