Mr. Pilger is being brilliant again. Please read. If only to remember.
Milan Kundera’s truism, "the struggle of people against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting," described East Timor.
...
Visiting Australia last November, President Barack Obama issued another of his veiled threats to China and announced the establishment of a US Marines’ base in Darwin, just across the water from East Timor. He understands that small, impoverished countries can often present the greatest threat to predatory power, because if they cannot be intimidated and controlled, who can?
If you support the USA as a "predatory power", then vote to re-elect Obama. If you think America is supposed to be something better than a robber-state, don't.
