From Peter Arnett’s wikipedia page,

“In 1964 Arnett married a Vietnamese woman, Nina Nguyen; they had two children, Elsa and Andrew….

Elsa Arnett is married to controversial former White House lawyer John Yoo.”

That has got to be some awkard holiday dinner tabless

To add to John Hardy’s point it seems likely that the inspiration of Johnson’s lefty boss - Josephine Parker von Hildebrand could be Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of The Nation. This would make the Hitchens link more noticeable - given his departure from the periodical.

Are you sure the Peter Johnson character doesn’t also have a dose of Christopher Hitchens to him?

Oh, and if you really want some nauseating conservative reading material, check out Liberality, starring G. Gordon and Sean Hannity (with cyborg arm!) as comic book heroes, fighting the good fight against those SICK liberals sticking condom dispensers in grade schools and putting the troops in harms way (by pulling them out of conflict?).

No one’s mentioned the very Clockwork Orange move of the hard line Right government recruiting street thugs as enforcers?

I always love how failure, fictional or real, is never due to a fault with the self, but from LIBERAL SOCIO-COMMIE TRAITORS who stabbed us in the back otherwise we totally would have won for sure.

Blame it all on traitors from within, a classic standard operating procedure from reactionaries for centuries. Nostalgia is for cowards, and reactionaries are cowards, basing everything off of their pride & paranoia trying to mask their cowardice.

“Here in London, that would not be implausible. Can’t say for New York, but seems more unlikely.”

People like are the main reason why relations between America and Britain are strained over Israel in the ME, and why Europe laughs at the US.

People like ‘mullah’ are the useful idiots who believe that once you have a commie revolution where all elites are killed, we will have a true utopia of exploitation free living. Except that the leaders of the revolution will become the new aristocratic/nobility/bourgeois scum (it is human nature after all) and the first thing they will do is get rid of useful idiots like ‘mullah’. Then ‘mullah’, you will have nowhere to hide or run. All revolutions are the replacement of one set of elites with another. This is how it always will be till the end of time.

Yes, those poor American hostages. Iranians being pissed at Americans, can you believe it. Never mind that CIA in its Operation Ajax helped install the shah, deposing the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh, which led to 25 years of tyranny. Mossadegh had wanted to nationalize the oil, you see, take it from the hands of the Western oil companies. Plus that the shah was far more Israel-friendly, which made it a clear case as far as the Israeli lobby was concerned.

When the Iranians rebelled, the U.S. tried to strangle them financially, and financed their strongman Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Iran, with two million deaths as a result.

I have no idea why Iranians would dislike Americans, after all that nice treatment. And with two Israeli nuclear submarines outside their coast at all times, ready to nuke millions of Iranians at an hour’s notice, with illegal weapons paid by unwitting American taxpayers - it is clear those Iranians are a threat to the region.

“Peter Johnson?” Why not “Dick Hardon” or “Cock Member?” Too subtle?
