Encyclopedia of domestic assassinations: The US/UK Smear, Harass, Blackmail, Bribe, Incarcerate, or Murder all Influential Dissidents

The Encyclopedia of Domestic Assassinations provides irrefutable statistical, historical, empirical, and predictive evidence that the American and British governments routinely smear, harass, bribe, blackmail, incarcerate, or murder their influential opponents. Always and everywhere, humanity's champions get neutralized long before they can accomplish anything. This encyclopedia argues that any reform strategy that fails to explicitly address this reality is doomed to fail. It provides a partial explanation for the utter failure of humanitarian reform movements in the Anglosphere and elsewhere in the world. In particular, it shows that it is impossible to understand international relations without taking into account the ever-present menace of blackmail, smears, clandestine removals, and assassinations of influential foreigners. It celebrates the short wonderful lives — often heroic and idealistic — of some 50+ victims of the US/UK. Finally, it confronts readers with (assassinated) Bob Marley’s question: “How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?” About the Author Preface What This Encyclopedia Can and Cannot Prove Scholarly Standards Your Choice No Ulterior Motives A Few Technical Notes Chapter 1: Cloak-and-Dagger Overview Hunter-Gatherers and Ancient Complex Societies The Gracchi Brothers of Rome Non-Lethal Approaches: Three Illustrations A Labor Leader and a Judge of the Early 20th Century District Attorney Jim Garrison A Governor of the State of Illinois Assassinations: A Few Case Histories Abraham Lincoln Herr Poth and Mr. Sherman Dag Hammarskjöld Michael Hastings Martin Vincent Mahoney Cloak-and-Dagger Smoking Gun Evidence Testimonials Is the Cloak-and-Dagger Strategy Effective?
