Applied Ethics: The Obligations of Citizenship.
To undestand why this is so hysterical one should read the other posting link I made this morning.
Some of the highlights:
For ‘Pinch’ Sulzberger treason is second nature. In the ‘70s this traitor published articles by Wilfred Burchett even after being told that the Australian ‘journalist’ was a KGB agent who had participated in the torture of POWs in North Korean camps.
the Times covered for the despicable Duranty, painted Stalin as a misunderstood philanthropist, the murderous Ho Chi Min as an agrarian humanitarian, Castro as a freedom-loving liberal, Chavez as a misunderstood reformer, etc. The only people it doe not praise are American patriots.
"Pinch" has also had a hand in the revealing of the NSA monitoring of foreign communications and the most recent revelations of the monitoring of the foreign SWIFT funds transfer system.
And if you happen to be on the fence on this issue here is the specific legal citation that applies to what the New York Times and "Pinch" Sulzberger have done:
U.S. Code Title 18, Part I, Chapter 37, § 794
§ 794. Gathering or delivering defense information to aid foreign government
(a) Whoever, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation, communicates, delivers, or transmits, or attempts to communicateÂ… to any foreign government, or to any faction or partyÂ… whether recognized or unrecognized by the United StatesÂ… any document, writingÂ… planÂ… or information relating to the national defense, shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for any term of years or for life, except that the sentence of death shall not be imposed unless the jury or, if there is no jury, the court, further finds that the offense resulted in the identification by a foreign powerÂ… directly concernedÂ… early warning systems, or other means of defense or retaliation against large-scale attack; war plans; communications intelligenceÂ…. or any other major weapons system or major element of defense strategy.
(b) Whoever, in time of war, with intent that the same shall be communicated to the enemy, collects, records, publishes, or communicates, or attempts to elicit any information with respect toÂ… any other information relating to the public defense, which might be useful to the enemy, shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for any term of years or for life.
(c) If two or more persons conspire to violate this section, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each of the parties to such conspiracy shall be subject to the punishment provided for the offense which is the object of such conspiracy.
(d)
(1) Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall forfeit to the United States irrespective of any provision of State law—
(A) any property constituting, or derived from, any proceeds the person obtained, directly or indirectly, as the result of such violation, and
(B) any of the personÂ’s property used, or intended to be used, in any manner or part, to commit, or to facilitate the commission of, such violation.
I am calling William F. Clinger Jr., Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Thomas M. Becker, President, of the Chautauqua Institute today to demand an explanation of their reason for considering "Pinch" Sulzberger qualified to speak in any rational way about this topic.
If anyone else wishes to do so the phone number is 1 800 836-ARTS.
