To the Editor of OEN: article is more than thousand words beyond limit, however the whole purpose of the chronology would be defeated if cut in half. Perhaps the importance of life could allow an exception. jj
After
the fireworks on the first day of the Fourth of July US Independence
weekend holiday may some of my countrymen and women consider dedicating
themselves to some fireworks of their own, namely:
freeing
America from the deception, egoism, ignorance and violence that is
seeded and psyoped into the minds of children justifying the killing of
the poor in their very own beloved countries overseas as merely killing
bad guys for the good of everyone;
joining
former Attorney General Ramsey Clark in calling for prosecution of
citizens responsible and participating in the now fully documented
US-NATO's sixty-five years of crimes against humanity; [1]
calling for court mandated compensation and reparations for the millions of US-NATO's victims.
These
three dedications represent the American values your author was taught
at his father's knee, in school and in church. In addition:
break
the forty-five year old criminal mainstream media black-out of Martin
Luther King's condemnation of US atrocity wars and covert violence on
three continents to maintain unjust predatory investments. [2]
A
4th of July remembrance and re-dedication appropriate to one's own
humanity would be for Americans to awake themselves from the farcical
but deadly and insidious false propaganda from the
financial-industrial-military-complex that owns the mainstream media and
most other sources of information.
For
having been born only eighty-three years ago, your author missed out on
the first one hundred and fifty-five years of genocide by, or overseen
by, the governments of my then not quite yet adolescent country. But,
from 1931 on, I was present and within the rather desperate and violent
but exciting US social atmosphere - great comedians, thrilling
advertisements, jazz music, and exciting sports both as player an
spectator enjoyed. And, since 1953 (or over the last sixty years),
music has taken me to perform and live in some sixty-seven nations,
nations nearly all either bombed or invaded by my USA, or nations that
were US allies during its many invasions.
Through
travel and living in nations descended from ancient wealthy cultures
and early civilization, I have come to realize that my USA and its
governments have always been captive to what the last aristocratic
insider US president, Franklin Roosevelt, called "a financial element in
the centers of power" [3] and without much of a heritage of a culture
or a civilization of its own to guide it and protect it from being ruled
crassly, despotically by its powerful, and by tradition,
life-disrespecting and unscrupulous wealthy.
This
chronicle of criminally genocidal behavior of the government of the USA
begins at its creation in 1776. For spanning only two hundred and
thirty-seven years, this list of genocide [4] throughout US history is
rather short as compared with that of other nations-made-empires founded
by rough and tough Europeans over the last five centuries at the
expense of all the more wealthier, advanced and graceful civilizations
and cultures of Africa, Asia and America which they plundered and
plunder even today.
From
dates after 1953, in brackets, are noted personal experiences on five
continents that have colored my life so as to see the US flag as
drenched in blood and hear the war-hailing national anthem as
frightening (and a poor choice of music and lyrics, one might say,
because the song 'America,' especially as sung by Ray Charles, as the
national anthem I sure it will one day be, would, and will, inspire
feelings of warmth, beauty and peace rather than the feeling of pride in
arms that the Star Spangled Banner is meant to awaken.
GENOCIDE
[4] MY COUNTRY, AS A NATION, OR ITS GOVERNMENT, HAS COMMITTED, CAUSED
OR FACILITATED from 1976 through 2014, the many good, some even great,
Americans notwithstanding.
-Our
AFRICAN genocide 1776-1864: New England banks financed deadly but
lucrative slave trade, forced labor in the North, before massive forced
labor in South; millions died during seizure and transport from Africa
and millions died in forced labor. (For the first time in recorded
history of slavery, inhumanity toward slaves as practiced in the USA and
Colonial Powers, eventually became based on having inculcating society
with fear-fostered ignorance and a preposterous insistence of racial
superiority, sanding on its head white feelings of inferiority in the
face of the far more accomplished cultures pale-skinned Europeans had
conquered. [5]
-NATIVE
AMERICA 1776-2014: Genocidal theft of habitats of a thousand Native
American nations instigated by banks speculating in land; forced captive
marches, broken treaties, wars, deaths from malnutrition certainly
reached more than one million deaths already long ago.

2000 feeling happy in a happier and more innocent behaving citizenry.]

CITIZENS & SUBJECTS IN ITS COLONIES 1915-17: Millions die for US
financing and entry into WW I; 1934-36 Senate Nye Committee investigates
allegations that the U.S. entered WW I to make big profits. Senator Nye
created headlines by drawing connections between the wartime profits of
the banking and munitions industries to America's involvement in World
War I; investigation of these "merchants of death" documents the huge
profits that arms factories made during the war; found bankers had
pressured Wilson to intervene in the war in order to protect their loans
abroad; arms industry had been price fixing; held excessive war
investor influence on American foreign policy leading up to and during
the war.

more than a million Ethiopians, tens of thousands from mustard gas
dropped from planes on civilian population. [Angelo Del Boca, The

PALESTINE:
1947-2014 US forces through with threats a UN approval of a farcical
and outrageously thieving plan to partition the Holy Land, a colonial
crime against humanity against the residents of the Palestine, in full
knowledge that permanent civil war would result and obviously intended
to create deadly conflict, permanent hostilities, destabilization and
facilitate Western imperialist penetration. The financial establishment
in the US has its colony in the heart of Middle East oil reserves at the
cost of tens of thousands of lives, some of which from families of
Jewish survivors of the Holocaust denied US refuge before, during and
after the Holocaust which itself would have been impossible without the
heavy US investment and joint venturing in Nazi Germany. [1962, author

Clandestine" of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao. After the
CIA's army suffers numerous defeats, the U.S. starts high-altitude
carpet bombing, dropping more bombs on Laos than all the U.S. bombs
dropped in World War II; the most bombed country in history; A quarter
of all Laotians will eventually become refugees, many living in caves.

-WORLDWIDE
1945-2014: Genocidal economic exploitation. Nobel Laureate in Economics
Joe Stiglitz: "My years at the World Bank saw policies that were
genocidal." The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is mandated to oversee
the international monetary and financial system and monitor the
economic and financial policies of its 188 member countries. This
activity is known as surveillance that facilitates international
co-operation. Since the demise of the Bretton Woods system of fixed
exchange rates in the early 1970s, the responsibilities of the Fund
changed from those of guardian to those of overseer of members'
policies. The Fund's usual prescription is as economist Jeffrey Sachs
said, 'budgetary belt tightening to countries who are much too poor to
own belts'. The World Bank's official goal is the reduction of poverty,
but according to its Articles of Agreement, all its decisions must be
guided by a commitment to the promotion of foreign investment and
international trade and to the facilitation of capital investment,
whatever the cost to human life. The IMF, World Bank, Trilateral
Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, and the Bilderberg Group form a
cabal of official and unofficial organizations and banks that inherit
the leadership of the Rothschild and Rockefeller Families and the heirs
of J.P. Morgan's financial empire. ("Give me control of a nation's money
and I care not who makes her laws." -M. Rothschild.)

AMERICAN CITIZENS AND IMMIGRANTS 1776-2014: Difficult to estimate
deaths, suffering and lives cut short for the inhumane automaton reign
of the profit motive that has been inherent in the governance of society
by the wealthy through overall rule by the speculative banking
industry. Merciless and often deadly economic exploitation of
immigrants, minorities, especially African-American and Native American,
and the inhuman discrimination suffered by them and for a century
Jewish people as well, for the threat they represented to dominant
investors, are explained well in changing historical context, by
historian Howard Zinn in his Peoples' History of the United States,
which one can read for free on line
www.historyisaweapon.com/zinnapeopleshistory.html . Zinn
describes horrific examples of the above: the Ford Co. Ludlow Massacre
and other police and army homicidal repression and terror against groups
of people refusing to work under murderous conditions of
non-life-sustaining wage labor; deadly violence against tenants refusing
to pay slumlords; the barbaric Dust Bowl exploitation described in
Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath; the savage exploitation of immigrants in
Upton Sinclair's The Jungle; the Triangle Shirt Factory Fire that
exemplifies the mortally fearful working conditions of below-living-wage
women employees in the garment industry that now continually occurs in
merciless conditions suffered in Thailand and Bangladesh factories of
outsourced US corporation production; hunger and child malnutrition
desperation during depressions created by speculative banking and
investors withdrawing money from the economy awaiting better returns;
forced draft into military to serve genocidal wars for profit against
the exploited poor in colonies or neocolonies overseas; corporate media
psyop mind-control inculcating violent and degenerate behaviors in
children convenient to marketing objectives.
The
above list does not include any results of continuing research into
important CIA involvement in any number of genocidal wars such as
Biafra's 'secession' in Nigeria, the lead up to and aftermath of the
Ruanda Genocide, and other "civil wars' and election violence throughout
the Africa, Asia, and Latin America, but knowing the sweep of CIA power
with stations in almost every nation and corporate investment
machinations, criminal CIA involvement can be assumed. One only need
recollect that a frightened US Congress saw fit to pass a bill
forbidding further assassinations in 1972. Presidential candidate and
Congressman Ron Paul spoke to this in May, referring to hyped mainstream
television false coverage of the conflict in the Ukraine, "they're part
of the banking system, they're part of the military-industrial complex,
they're part of an educational system that endorses perpetual
intervention overseas. We have 800 bases around the world with in 130
countries. We are always involved it seems in someone else's election."
Quoting
from A Timeline of CIA Atrocities [19] "CIA operations follow the same
recurring script. First, American business interests abroad are
threatened by a popular or democratically elected leader. The people
support their leader because he intends to conduct land reform,
strengthen unions, redistribute wealth, nationalize foreign-owned
industry, and regulate business to protect workers, consumers, and the
environment. So, on behalf of American business, and often with their
help, and State Department-funded organizations like National Endowment
for Democracy the CIA mobilizes the opposition. First it identifies
right-wing groups within the country (usually the military), and offers
them a deal: "We'll put you in power if you maintain a favorable
business climate for us." The Agency then hires, trains, and works with
them to overthrow the existing government (usually a democracy). It uses
every trick in the book: propaganda, stuffed ballot boxes, purchased
elections, extortion, blackmail, sexual intrigue, false stories about
opponents in the local media, infiltration and disruption of opposing
political parties, kidnapping, beating, torture, intimidation, economic
sabotage, death squads, and even assassination. These efforts culminate
in a military coup, which installs a right-wing dictator. The CIA trains
the dictator's security apparatus to crack down on the traditional
enemies of big business, using interrogation, torture and murder. The
victims are said to be "communists," but almost always they are just
peasants, liberals, moderates, labor union leaders, political opponents
and advocates of free speech and democracy. Widespread human-rights
abuses follow.
This
scenario has been repeated so many times that the CIA actually teaches
it in a special school, the notorious "School of the Americas." Critics
have nicknamed it the "School of the Dictators" and "School of the
Assassins." Here, the CIA trains Latin American military officers how to
conduct coups, including the use of interrogation, torture and murder.
The
Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that by 1987, 6 million
people had died as a result of CIA covert operations. Former State
Department official William Blum correctly calls this an "American
Holocaust.""The CIA justified these actions as part of its war against
communism, and since 2001 against terrorism. But most coups did not
involve a communist nor terrorist threat. Unlucky nations are targeted
for a wide variety of reasons, all boiling down to threats to American
business interests abroad as Martin Luther King chronicled in his sermon
'Beyond Vietnam.'
In
this space age of inexpensive and universally accessible information
and personal communication technology racing forward, the neocolonized
non-Caucasian vast majority of Earthlings in some way or another still
colonized or Neocolonized by that "financial element in the centers of
power that own the [US] government" as well as a weak US society, will
awaken to the awareness of their ability to prosecute all the colonial
and neocolonial crimes against it and call for compensations that will
make wars unprofitable.[20]

Genocide
is the systematic destruction of all or part of a racial, ethnic,
religious or national group via the (a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c)
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to
bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;(d) Imposing
measures intended to prevent births within the group; or (e) Forcibly
transferring children of the group to another group. Genocide entails
also the Conspiracy to commit genocide; Direct and public incitement to
commit genocide; Attempt to commit genocide; and Complicity in genocide.
. What constitutes enough of a "part" to qualify as genocide has been
subject to much debate by legal scholars. While a precise definition
varies among genocide scholars, a legal definition is found in the 1948
United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime
of Genocide (CPPCG). Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as
"any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or
in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to
members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of
life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in
part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
[and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

In
colonial America, Africans weren't enslaved because they were thought
to be inferior. On the contrary, they were valued for their skill as
farmers and desired for their labor. Planters had previously tried
enslaving Native Americans, but many escaped and hid among neighboring
tribes or were stricken by diseases brought to the New World by
Europeans.
In
the early years of the colonies, the majority of workers were poor
indentured servants from England. In fact, during Virginia's first
century, 100,000 of the 130,000 Englishmen who crossed the Atlantic were
indentured servants. Conditions of servitude were miserable, and nearly
two thirds died before their term of indenture ended. After several
decades, African slaves began arriving in the U.S. and worked side by
side with indentured servants. Many played together, intermarried, and
ran away together. Racial categories were fluid, and slavery was not yet
codified into law. Quoted from "Race Time Line," PBS

Alassane Quattara bio Wikipedia:
In
April 1990, the IMF under the Structural Adjustment Program forced the
Ivorian President Houphouà «t-Boigny to accept Ouattara as Chairman of the
Inter-ministerial Committee for Coordination of the Stabilization and
Economic Recovery Programme of CÃ ´te d'Ivoire. While holding that
position, Ouattara also remained in his post as BCEAO Governor (Note
that in this position he was also representing Burkina Faso).[3] He
subsequently became Prime Minister of CÃ ´te d'Ivoire on 7 November 1990
still under the IMF imposition,[3][8] after which Charles Konan Banny
replaced him as Interim BCEAO Governor.[8]
You Tube: Ivory Coast, Africa New World Order, CIA, Freemasons, and the IMF
"The
UN, CIA, EU, and all others should leave, including Burkina Faso's
freemason president who hired and trained mercenaries to carry out a
coup before the elections.
In
the Dec. 2010 elections, we have heard numerously on corporate
mainstream media about IC "rigged' election and the civil unrest and
violence in result.
Th
news about Ivory Coast was a surprise as the Western propaganda news
agencies rarely inform their listeners about foreign events (in Africa
esp.)
Gbagbo, an independent politician who is anti-colonialist, was running for re-election against Alassane Outtara.
Western media constantly declared that Quattara was the winner and that Gbagbo must leave.
What
they did not mention, is that the Constitutional Council was informed
that Ouattara won WITHOUT SHOWING the results to validate this.
After
the dispute in the electioins, the US, EU, France, IMF, and the UN
unfairly supported only Ouattara while demonizing Pres. Gbagbo unjustly.
The imperialist elites demanded Ouattara to be president which resulted in chaos in Ivory Coast.
Anyways,
it has been shown that this sit has be orchestrated by the US CIA, the
French government and an IMF and UN controlled by imperialist world
elite like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds.
Also, the opposition candidate Ouattara worked for none other than the IMF, for many years.
Another
thing is that French politician Jean-Francois Probst revealed in an
interview that from his view and experience, Ouatara is very close to
the CIA
We can
see clearly that the powers that be want Ouattara as an IMF/CIA puppet,
as they unjustly slander Gbabo while praising Outtara as the victor
without evidence.
This while most Ivory Coast people have protested in favor of Gbabo.
reason
elite powers want o control IC this much is not only strategic location
of the country but also for its gold and oil reserves
another infamous group played a role in Ivory Coast and Outtara were the Freemasons
It was known that France and their African Freemason puppets have been planning to overthrow Gbabo since 2004
In
meeetings 2004 OU participated in -French power conspired with
Freemasons in Bukina Faso, to overthrow Gbabo and install Outtara.
President
of Burkina Faso, Blaise Campaore Free mason, explained in this meeting
and helped train mercenaries who would attempt to overthrow Gbabo. The
treason of Outtara is blatant, as he supported this violence against
Ivory Coast and its people.
"The plotters of yesterday , the plotters of today" they swim in the water and think we don't see their backs but we see them.'

Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara flew to France on Aug. 24
for a two-week vacation, arriving on a Gulfstream G3 aircraft
privately registered to Andalex Aviation II LLC, a company out
of Wilmington, Del. Previously on July 28, Ouattara flew to
Washington and on the following day met with the presidents of
Benin, Niger, Guinea and the United States. On that visit, the
Ivorian president arrived on a Gulfstream G5 aircraft,
registered, interestingly, to an apartment under the name Jet
Greene LLC in Miami Beach, Fla.
STRATFOR has reason to believe the aircraft belong to CIA front
companies; he could have chartered a plane from any number of
companies, so it does not stand to reason that he would charter
a plane registered to an apartment in Miami Beach. Moreover,
Ouattara has only recently assumed the presidency. Although he
was democratically elected in 2010, he had to take Abidjan
militarily before he could replace his predecessor, Laurent
Gbagbo. He now faces a number of threats, including from those
constituting the remnants of the Gbagbo regime and those within
his own camp, and the aircraft show that he has found the means
by which he will mitigate those threats: U.S. patronage.

Ivory Coast's Gbagbo Decries Foreign Intervention
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) - Ivory Coast's incumbent leader Laurent Gbagbo,
who has refused to cede power, has accused world leaders of launching a
coup to oust him. ...
A Gbagbo youth leader has called for internationally
recognized leader Alassane Ouattara to leave the hotel by Saturday. ...
Gbagbo gave an address late Friday on state television in which he accused
the international community of mounting a coup d'etat to oust him and said
Ivorians were being subjected to international hostility.
"No one has the right to call on foreign armies to invade his country,"
Gbagbo said. "Our greatest duty to our country is to defend it from
foreign attack." ...
The U.N. declared Alassane
Ouattara the winner, endorsing the announcement by the country's electoral
commission. But Gbagbo has refused to step aside now for more than a
month, defying international condemnation and growing calls for his
ouster.
The European Union said late Friday that it had approved sanctions on 59
more people, in addition to 19 already sanctioned last week including
Gbagbo and his wife. Gbagbo and about 30 of his allies also face U.S.
travel sanctions ...
West African leaders have said they are prepared to use military force to
push Gbagbo out, but are giving negotiations more time for now. For many,
the credibility of the international community is at stake if it is unable
to ensure that Ouattara takes power.
Gbagbo points to Ivory Coast's constitutional council, which declared him
president after throwing out more than half a million votes from Ouattara
strongholds. The council invalidated election results in those areas,
citing violence and intimidation directed at Gbagbo supporters. The top
U.N. envoy in Ivory Coast has disputed that assessment. ...
... a pro-Gbagbo youth leader has encouraged his supporters to
seize the Golf Hotel, saying that Ouattara and Soro have until Saturday to
"pack up their bags" and leave. The building is being guarded by some 800
U.N. peacekeepers and hundreds of rebels loyal to Ouattara.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said he is "deeply alarmed" by the
youth leader's comments, and he has called on Gbagbo supporters to
"refrain from such dangerous irresponsible action," a U.N. spokesman said.
The youth leader, Charles Ble Goude, is known as the "street general" for
organizing a violent anti-French and anti-U.N. gang that terrorized the
foreign population in Ivory Coast in 2004-2005.

There Was No Libyan Peaceful Protest,
Just Murderous Gangs and Nic Robertson
By Jay Janson
June, 2011
Countercurrents.org.
Nic
Robertson and Anderson Cooper are surely aware of their achievement in
promoting the human carnage of civil war and the destruction of a
beautifully well-kept and prosperous nation, the 53rd highest developed
country in the world with free health care and education. A standard of
living that was higher than nine European nations, including Russia, is
no more, thanks to their having daily led our entertainment with their
war mongering of purposely distorted reporting, misreporting,
disinformation, and blacking out of information that would have made
this massive loss of human life impossible. They'll not be able to wash
this off their conscience.
1). There were no peaceful protests!
2).
CNN, covering the Danish Cartoons anniversary demonstration that was
cooped with an announcement from London to make it into a "day of rage
against Libyan leader Gaddafi,' showed us camera panning of a modest
size crowd (mostly men) jumping up and down shouting against Gaddafi
(not against Libya's high standard of living).
3).
There were armed attacks on police stations (even traffic police) and
vicious attacks on Chinese and Korea construction workers already two
days before, and during the anniversary of the Danish Cartoons or "day
of rage,' executions of 50 captured Libyan soldiers, one beheaded, some
hung along with police officers. And who knows how many ordinary Libyan
civilians harmed by tough guys brought in to Benghazi and other
Cyrenaican towns. This was reported by Reuters and BBC, but not CNN.
4).
CNN showed a video of a small amount of people scattering, running at
twilight, cell phone camera jerking around in confusion with the sound
of shooting from completely unidentified sources. There was Anderson
Cooper and Nic Robertson crying out that "Gaddafi', was "targeting,
shooting, bombing his own people who only want democracy. At the same
time a flood of anti Gaddafi reports were coming in from well funded
Libyan exile backers in various countries.
5).
Imagine! On Feb. 21 a bare four days after the overseas calls for "day
of rage' U.S. media's UK counterpart, the Telegraph reported that " the
International Federation for Human Rights said Libya's second city along
with Sirte, Tobruk, Misrata, Khoms, Tarhounah, Zenten, Al-Zawiya and
Zouara had all been taken by protesters. "Protesters?" We were given to
see these tough hombre heavily armed "freedom fighters' in their fleets
of pickup trucks looking nothing at all like protesters.
6).
While, very quickly, heavily armed insurgent gangs, always described as
"ordinary citizens who had dropped their office jobs a few days before
to fight for freedom,' were efficiently overrunning towns and airports,
Cooper and Robertson kept excitedly exclaiming cities were being bombed
from the air - civilians targeted - showing viewers the same single bomb
crater in a field outside of a town for five days running as proof,
though oddly admitting no one had been injured.
7).
CNN and NY Times have never reported that Libya, as opposed to
desperately poor Egypt and Yemen enjoys a higher standard of living than
nine European nations including Russia. Rather, they continue
emphasizing Western media condemnation of Gaddafi over his entire four
decades of leadership of Libya and the movement for African Union.
8).
In less than 2 weeks came Obama's executive orders freezing Libyan
accounts or confiscating Libyan accounts of billions of dollars for
eventual use by insurgents. Even earlier began the threats from
international institutions beholden to U.S. and NATO, and open
speculation by the same coalition of former colonial powers that had
once conquered and ruled the entire non-white world for centuries, of
military action against "Gaddafi' (that would add a sixth Muslim nation
to its bombing list of Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan.
9).
Then came the successful pressuring of China and Russia not to veto a
U.S. NATO attack on Libya in favor of the insurgent army (almost openly
led and funded by CIA, M16, Mossad and the French Secret Service) under
the pretext of protecting the Libyan population from its own government
(never referred to a an independent nation, but as "Gaddafi" or "the
Gaddafi regime). A UN "Security Council' resolution was passed, but
never meant to protect Libyans from a brutal foreign funded insurgent
army calling for warplanes of the former European occupiers of North
Africa to bomb their own countrymen and nation. During all the months
following, CNN would have us believe the attacking insurgents never
killed anyone, while hammering in the Gaddafi monster theme.
10).
All this deception was prepared over decades of rabid media attacks on
Gaddafi, the anti-imperialist, the 'mad dog' of Reagan and Secretary
Clinton, and then with claims that Libya was having just another
revolution like those against the many U.S. supported dictators of Arab
nations. War on Libyan was accepted by the American public in the same
way the public had accepted covert violence and war to protect
Guatemalans, Congolese, Dominicans, Cubans, Panamanians, Nicaraguans,
Chileans and Hondurans from their presidents, wars to protect Koreans
from other Koreans, Vietnamese from Vietnamese, Laotians from Laotians,
Cambodians from Cambodians, Lebanese from Lebanese, Afghans from
Afghans, Iraqis from Iraqis, Somalis from Somalis, Yemeni from Yemeni,
Grenadians from Grenadians, Salvadorians from Salvadorians, Yugoslavs
from Yugoslavs, Iranians from Iranians, Haitians from Haitians, and
Pakistanis from Pakistanis. By this time everyone should have known of
the U.S. protection racket, but count on innovation by CIA, CNN and the
NY Times to make a seemingly ironclad case in favor of each new U.S. EU
Canadian Australian war coalition. Full article at:

Capitalism's Warplanes: CIA & al Qaeda Destroy Socialist Libya's 53rd Highest Living Standard
It's
like when you watch a magician perform. You might have an idea how the
sleight of hand was done. But you don't really know for sure. You just
know what you saw was a trick.
You
have seen revolutionaries before, real and phony. These heavily armed
excited hombres don't look and act the part of the aggrieved, and for
the most part don't look like the noble people risking their lives in
the streets of Cairo, Tunis, Sana'a and Manama.
Thirdly,
the really bad guys, the big bad guys - the very powerful imperialist
capitalists who revolutionaries must always fight, are incongruously on
the side of 'Libyan "revolutionaries.'
Fourthly,
if they have it better than everyone else in Africa and the Arab world,
why are they willing to kill and be killed to change the leader who has
led them in producing an enviable level of social services
democratically available to all citizens*(1 ), and side with Libya's
former brutal exploiting European masters who now generously bomb Libya

Today,
the CIA has permanent missions in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ivory
Coast, Djibouti, Nigeria, Egypt, Libya, Rwanda and Mali. The CIA's
missions are all focused on multiple objectives from combating Al-Qaeda
affiliated terrorists to capacity building for African military and
security forces. Similarly, the Pentagon's sudden decision to create
African Command or AFRICOM is another clear indication that the CIA has
made a strategic, long-term organizational imperative to focus its
attention on Africa.
Clearly,
the CIA growing involvement is not simply just about "regime
continuation" and "targeted hits" against America's enemies, but rather
is actively involved in expanding its influence over Africa's political
infrastructure and economic policies. For example, it is no coincidence
that a number of African regimes such as Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of
Uganda, Mwai Kibaki of Kenya, Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, and
Hassan Sheikh of Somalia are now actively managed by the CIA. The
dictatorial regimes or "assets" are totally dependent on the agenda of
the CIA in terms of their continued existence as well as the
re-structuring of their economies in the face of domestic and
geo-political uncertainties.
