Preliminary Notes

Intended solely as a quick reference guide for activists, this document constitutes, in academic terms, a tertiary resource, i.e., a compilation of data drawn from primary and secondary sources, and hence it resembles an encyclopedia more than anything else. By no means should it be construed as ?original research,? since such research would require, among other things, copious use of the Freedom of Information Act?use that would prove overwhelming to my meager temporal and financial reserves (and this roadblock is prior to any consideration of recent legal and political obstacles constructed by the Ashcroft Department of Justice). Interesting in this regard, however, is the fact that the requirement of payment for the public record builds a crass economic bias into the ?freedom? of information?one which favors those with relatively deep pockets, such as large foundations and privately endowed think-tanks, over concerned worker-citizens and independent researchers. Despite this economic difficulty, each point of data herein has been drawn from the public record and published materials, and furthermore each is end-noted, so that readers can locate the appropriate secondary (and in some cases primary) texts. If you?re interested in the ?root? source documents, please use the bibliography and notes in order to track down the relevant primary resources?which consist mainly of official government documents, first-hand accounts of events, and some studies by NGOs and the intelligentsia.

The end-noting protocol used herein is premised, on the one hand, on the basic journalistic notion that each piece of data requires at least two corroborating sources in order to be a valid entry into the debate. Items that do not meet this test are therefore excluded from the Basic Statistics database. On the other hand, due to the incendiary nature of this project and to the highly ideological narrative, U.S. patriotism, that it challenges, a second journalistic premise?the excision (or at least qualification) of potentially partisan, ?biased,? or otherwise ?non-objective? sources?has been discarded in the production of this document (though otherwise unsubstantiated assertions on marginal websites, for instance, have been elided). Indeed, even though we can make attempts at accuracy, truth, and unbiased argument through rigorous analysis of the data, it is most likely that complete objectivity is not possible in this debate, and furthermore that the establishment pretense at objectivity is just institutional bias masquerading as ?fact.? An account of this institutional bias would reveal that the majority of its distortions are attributable to the jingoist belief that ?The United States is the most virtuous and morally benevolent nation in world history?; this sentiment is assumed a priori to be apodictic truth, evidence to the contrary be damned. Indeed, the definition of the notion objectivity in this context depends crucially, for the institutional bias, on the acceptance of this apodictic truth. To disagree with this a priori knowledge is to expose oneself as subjective, prejudiced, biased. The end result, for the jingoist, is that the evidence itself, when in contradiction with the jingoist?s apodictic objective truth, is corrupt, skewed, partial, unfair, unbalanced, and one-sided. Of course, the assumption that a highly phantasmagoric value judgment is the default factual position in a debate, from which the argument must proceed and never deviate, is beyond both arrogant and disingenuous.

For instance, how often is it asserted as fact and taken for granted that the United States is a ?beacon of freedom? in the world? In this assertion, are explicit and documented comparisons made to every other culture that has existed throughout history on their respective quantities of ?freedom?? Just how is this metaphorical concept to be evaluated? Is ?freedom? even quantifiable? And if so, how are we to interpret such quantities? Is it possible to do so without any hermeneutic assumptions whatsoever? If measuring ?freedom? and its ?beacons? were a quantitative science, would not such a scientific discipline be subject to Kuhnian Paradigm Shifts, Heisenbergian Uncertainty, and, in its axiomatic expression, G?delian Incompleteness ? Just what do these indeterminacies mean for ?beacons of freedom?? I leave it to the reader to answer such slightly ridiculous questions after pondering the data that follows.

It should go without saying, though some commentators on previous drafts have obtusely seen fit to say it anyway, that the United States neither presently is nor historically has been the only imperialist power. However, it is

a) the most impressive imperialist power in history and at present,
b) the principle cause of global abuse in the present moment, and
c) without doubt the most destructive force ever unleashed by and on Homo sapiens.

This document makes, as its primary argument, the case that the United States does not even come close to adhering to any reasonable standards of moral decency, global democracy, sustainable development, international law, or human rights ?much less so to its own self-serving auto-encomia about the ?beacon of freedom? and ?bastion of democracy.? In making this primary argument, it has been a matter of necessity to defer discussions of the horrors produced and crimes committed by other imperialists ?past or present, capitalist or socialist, democratic or autocratic ?such as Kemet, the various Canaanite tribes, Athens, Rome, the Vatican, the Franks, the Mongols, the Vikings, China, Russia, Japan, the Arabs, the Turks, Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain, the Dutch, Israel, Indonesia, Australia, and so forth. To focus clearly on the U.S. role in a multitude of crimes committed throughout history is not to ignore the roles of these other imperialists; rather, it is to call to our attention some aspects of history that get brushed aside in discussions of current events, politics, and economics?aspects that must not be brushed aside. Therefore, this document should not be interpreted as an argument that:

a) All global crimes are or have been the fault of the United States;

b) The United States began all of the conflicts herein enumerated, or furthermore is the only initiator of hostilities;

c) The United States is the singular actor on the stage of imperialism, the only violator of international law and human rights, and always the sole cause of the events hereafter enumerated;

d) The United States is a malicious ?evil? nation, united in a single-minded purpose to smash the world, with no internal opposition, ideological dissent, or class conflict;

e) United States foreign policy is unique in its motives, goals, illegitimacy, criminality, methods, and barbarism;

f) United States foreign policy is democratically controlled and thus all U.S. citizens (regardless of class, race, status, sex, party, education, region, age, religion, creed, awareness, and so forth) are fully and equally answerable for it;

g) Had the United States not committed the following list of crimes, then everything would be perfectly utopian everywhere.

These seven points are vulgar and do violence to any rational assessment of the historical record; making this concession, though, is neither to excuse nor to justify United States imperialism, which is in fact unique in terms of its scope, hypocrisy, efficacy, hubris, and destructiveness. Though I would like to include the crimes of all other imperialists, the task at hand is already large enough, and moreover the most urgent; I leave it to future researchers to compile a ?Basic Statistics for General Imperialism.?

Although I will not engage a debate on this document via email, any questions, suggested amendments, death threats, or requests for a clean electronic copy (as a MS Word attachment) can be directed to sologdin@aol.com.

1. Chronological list of interventions, with the purpose of effecting ?regime change?:

The following interventions have been attempted or materially supported by the United States?whether primarily by means of overt force (OF), covert operation (CO), or subverted election (SE).

Definitions:

Materially supported = the provision of personnel, money, weaponry and ammunition, various forms of training, technology, propaganda cover, discursive space, diplomatic recognition after the fact, tactical consultation, strategic advice, prior approval (i.e., the coveted ?green light?), legal chicanery, intimidation of potential opponents, media distractions, accompanying nuclear threats, planning, direction, command and control, or any combination thereof.

OF = directly applied state terrorism by the United States repressive apparati i.e. the Departments of War/Defense, Energy, Treasury, and State. N.B. the formation of the National Security Council (1947) and the Office of Homeland Security (2002).

CO = reconnaissance, classical coups d?etat, legal harassment, disinformation (through media, legal, NGO, student, labor, and other front groups), bribery, sabotage, assassination, proxy warfare, running ratlines for fascist ?migr? groups, and assorted other clandestine activities. OF and SE imply, necessarily, prior and continuing CO.

SE = a particular species of CO, comparatively non-violent, high plausible deniability, usually involves dumping tons of cash and campaign technologies into the hands of rightist groups during elections, sowing discord in leftist parties, buying up media space in order to destabilize electorates, tampering directly with ballot results, and hiring jackboots to actively threaten and brutalize voters in the last resort. N.B. many subverted elections are preceded by lengthy terror campaigns (e.g. Nicaragua, El Salvador, Yugoslavia, etc).

Neutralist = a given regime?s desire to avoid taking sides with either power bloc in the cold war. It should be readily apparent that such is an unforgivable sin against the foreign policy establishment in the United States.

Nationalist = a given regime?s desire to nationalize foreign-owned means of production within its political jurisdiction and furthermore to pursue autochthonous economic development. It should be readily apparent that such is an unforgivable sin against the foreign policy establishment in the United States.

It should furthermore go without saying that the following entries are simplified; only the major ?payoff? year is listed, where applicable. Most attempted overthrows were preceded by lengthy preparations?vast right-wing conspiracies, indeed. Lest this text is left open to accusations of distortion, allow me to note that the United States is not the sole (or, in a few cases, even the major) actor in all of the following attempts at ?regime change?; the majority of such changes of regime were undertaken with the help of a) other imperialist nations, whose goals for the moment overlapped with those of the US, b) local elites, who saw profit in strategic partnership with DC elites, and c) other miscellaneous rivals to the targeted regime, such as destated groups, revanchist elements, and so on. I refer curious readers to the historical record for clarification in such cases. (E.g., even such well-known US crimes as Iran 1953 and Chile 1973 are joint endeavors.)

We should keep in mind that the goals of the imperialist in each of these instances are multiple: acquisition of access to local ?markets? of all varieties ; protection of corporate power and imposition of neoliberal policy ; destruction of any potential alternative to the techno-fascist ruling order ; provision of incentive for a sprawling parasitical and parastatal medical-intelligence-military-industrial complex (MIMIC) ; control of the U.S. domestic political economy ; production of official ?villains? for propaganda purposes ; fomentation of racialist enmity and race hierarchies ; intimidation of non-combatants (as in the year 1945) ; and continuing political hegemony of the transnational elite based in DC2.

Yugoslavia: 1919

Scanning the official public acknowledgment list here, we clearly see that the U.S. had extreme paranoia about China, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama: Open Doors, ?uncooperative? neighbors, and two potential canal zones. Also, check the rationale in the official Defense Dept. record for each of the above conflict dates. Many times, we see ?to protect U.S. interests [or ?nationals?] during a crisis? as the proposed justification. Caveat lector.

4. Noteworthy Covert Operations conducted by the United States:

We should keep in mind that the dates given are the confessed dates of operation. In no way does this account for programs that continued to run after they were officially terminated, nor does it reckon with the same practices under different names?or no names at all. It should go without saying that this isn?t a complete listing.

6. ?Low intensity wars? conducted by the United States:

?Medium intensity warfare? = direct and usually acknowledged involvement of U.S. military apparatus.

?High intensity warfare? = Dr. Strangelove stuff: ?nuclear combat toe-to-toe with the Russkies,? &c.

The primary goal of low intensity conflict is to use proxies, intelligence, and Special Forces to destabilize a region and its official government. The purpose of destabilization is to achieve 1) access to resources amidst the chaos, 2) delegitimation of an ?enemy? political/economic system, 3) influence over specific local groups, and 4) depopulation of regions inhabited by untermenschen.

All people of decency should learn about low intensity warfare ; it is by far and away one of the most disgusting and useful tools in the imperialist repertoire. Don?t let the words ?low intensity? trick you: rivers are dammed with corpses and the fields are sown with the blood of the targeted nation.

Vietnam (U.S. proxy); Mozambique v. S. Africa (U.S. proxy); Nicaragua v. Contras (U.S. proxy); Angola v. UNITA (U.S. proxy); Afghanistan v. mujaheddin (U.S. proxy).

Contra France : after the Soviet Union ended all activities in Africa, the U.S. began its bid to force French proxies out of North Africa?Cote d?Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Sudan, Cameroon, Gabon, Mali, Sudan, Central African Republic, Guinea-Bissau.

Contra Germany : during the 1990s, Germany and the U.S. used multiple proxies to fight over control of the Balkans, with its precious ?Corridor 8,? thereby ruining the entire region?most notable are Macedonia v. KLA-NLA (U.S. proxy) and Croatia v. Bosnia (U.S. proxy).

Contra Great Britain : post World War 2 power struggle fought primarily in North Africa and the Near East?Libyan monarchy v. insurgency (U.S. proxy); Iraqi monarchy v. insurgency (U.S. proxy); Egyptian monarchy v. insurgency (U.S. proxy); Sudanese Sovereignty Council v. insurgency (U.S. proxy); British colony in Kenya v. Mau Mau Rebellion (U.S. proxy); Suez Crisis; Israeli statehood; Biafra War.

Contra China : from Cold War crimes to New World Order harassment, the U.S. has used many proxies against China proper: Thai, Tibetan, Turkestani, Burmese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Islamic, Taiwanese.

12. Chronological list of nation-states held in the manacles of debt-leverage imperialism:

N.B. these states are held in the thralldom of ?odious debt? imposed upon them by (typically) quasi-fascistic regimes who 1) often enough were empowered via United States state terrorism and 2) accepted the terms of United States dominated Bretton Woods restructuring programs.

Many countries found themselves in dire monetary and fiscal straits in the early 1980s?after the Nixon shocks, the various oil embargoes, and the Volcker interest rate hikes. At this time of the debt crisis, the IMF and World Bank became ?lenders of last resort? for regimes unable to meet balance of payments obligations to imperialist-controlled banks?but such lending comes with a cost: dismantle any and all policies that don?t adhere to the mystical mantras of neoliberalism (i.e. such policies as protectionism, capital regulation, state industry, wage control, labor and environmental regulation, resistance to currency devaluation, autochthonous/non-export production, etc had to go); such is the nature of the structural adjustment program (SAP).

Note further that these policies were the Reaganites? answer to the ?Crisis of Democracy? (as defined by the byzantines in the Trilateral Commission) that was occurring on a global scale and to the relative loss of U.S. geopolitical power in the late 1970s. In order to disrupt the G-77, UNCTAD, and other international movements modeled on the success of OPEC, the debt crisis and its neoliberal response were engineered for the sake of ushering in a new world order of managed friggin? chaos. It is good to recall that a number of countries that have refused SAP have been attacked (e.g., Serbia) and/or destabilized (e.g., Belarus). It is also prudent to realize that many an ?ethnic,? ?religious,? or otherwise vaguely described ?civil? war has been caused directly by SAP (e.g., Somalia, Yugoslavia).

Moreover note that the meaning of ?debt crisis? is that subjugated nations that were unable to meet balance of payments obligations to imperialist-controlled banks threatened the survival of such banks, and thus this privately held debt was transferred to public institutions, thereby socializing risk while insuring the sanctity of corporate profit. (I.e., ?crisis? does not here refer to those hardships inflicted on subjugated peoples.)

Native Americans (1776-2003): 4M.

Philippines (1898-1904): 600K.
Germany (1945-1950): 3M.

We should also take note that the United States bears more than superficial responsibility for the Nazi Holocaust: e.g., the turning away of Jewish, Roma, and other refugees ; funding the concentration camp system ; underwriting the Third Reich?s military ; delay in opening a western front ; policies of appeasement before the war ; siding with the fascists during the Spanish Civil War ; turning down Stalin?s offer to attack Germany jointly in 1938 ; providing theoretical inspiration for lebensraum, final solutions, anti-communism, anti-Semitism, etc. ; rebuilding Germany after the war with the fascist infrastructure still intact ; saving war criminals ; general ideological support ; and so forth.

15. Foreign policy doctrines more or less practiced by the United States:

Monroe Doctrine ? western hemisphere = U.S. property; non-whites = untermenschen.

McKinley Doctrine ? Open Door Policy i.e., China, Pacific = potentially, possibly, most likely U.S. property; non-whites = untermenschen.

Roosevelt Corollary ? western hemisphere = U.S. property, and we mean it this time! non-whites = untermenschen.

Taft Doctrine ? ?Dollar Diplomacy? (bribery & economic coercion) i.e., western hemisphere = U.S. property, and we mean economically, politically, and all other ways; the Middle East = potentially, possibly, most likely, U.S. property.

Wilson Doctrine ? ?14 Points? internationalism (i.e., in private, great powers should respect each other; to hell with the rest; in public, this doctrine will be cynically cited as the foundational paradigm of the U.S. humanitarian heritage); western hemisphere = U.S. property, and we really mean it this time! non-whites = untermenschen.

Roosevelt Doctrine ? ?Good Neighbor Policy!? i.e., western hemisphere = U.S. property, and we really really really ****ing mean it.

Truman Doctrine ? aid to fascists in Greece, Turkey, the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, western Europe, Eastern Europe, North Africa, Latin America, etc. i.e., what Kennan called ?Containment.?

Eisenhower Doctrine ? the Middle East = U.S. property; non-whites = untermenschen; ?massive retaliation.?

Nixon Doctrine ? enter ?neocolonialism? i.e., Asia, Africa, western hemisphere = U.S. property, but we?re gonna try to be sneaky about it. Overall, meet the new imperialist?same as the old imperialist.

Carter Doctrine ? the Middle East = U.S. property, and we aren?t kidding; ?trilateralism.?

Reagan Doctrine ? ?Rollback?; ?mutually assured destruction?; ?low intensity warfare?; support for rightwing Islamist groups, narcotics smuggling, etc. Overall, same as above.

17. Noteworthy propaganda campaigns, hoaxes, and other lies qua casus belli utilized by the United States:

It is well known that the NSDAP transformed its buffoonish leader from a national joke into der Fuhrer die Reich by means of a) securing moneys from large industrialists and financiers (who liked Hitler?s extremely rightwing ideas on race, labor, religion, nationalism, capitalism, imperialism, etc.) and b) by using multiple propaganda hoaxes in order to sway domestic opinion.

For instance, the Reichstag fire in 1933 allowed for Hitler to be proclaimed leader of the state as well as for the Night of the Long Knives the following year (violence against leftists), and then all of the anti-Jewish policy that came soon after the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. In reality, the Reichstag was burned by fascist agents and blamed on communists; they even got a mentally disabled Dutch guy to ?admit? to both the arson and communism?smoking gun! Woohoo!

In 1938, the Nazis claimed that they needed to perform a ?humanitarian intervention? in the Sudetenland (in the modern Czech Republic) in order to stop ?ethnic violence.? Of course, it was Nazi thugs carrying out the ?ethnic violence? in the first place, but never mind that small detail.

In 1939, the fascists contrived Operation Canned Goods?a faked attack on a German border patrol, which was allegedly a surprise massacre, carried out by Polish military personnel. Diabolical Slavic Untermenschen Evildoer Terrorists! Too bad, however, that we now know those corpses in German uniform shown on Nazi TV to be dead Poles, kidnapped and murdered; the German public, though, went insane with jingoism, calling for invasions and genocide.

Throughout World War 2, the German fascists also designated as ?terrorists? all those guerrilla resistance fighters who opposed their rule?whether in France, Serbia, the USSR, Poland, or the Islamic territories. This practice is consistent with the history of the usage of the term terrorism, since the word typically has been used by states to demonize foes who happen to be part of an underground and under-funded movement and also by the political right to undermine the credibility of leftwing states (e.g., the ?Great Terror? in France or the ?Red Terror? in Russia).

As we shall see, this is a technique learned by the Nazis from the masters of such things in the U.S. (Hitler credited the development of the ?Final Solution? to his study of U.S. treatment of Native Americans), and furthermore is a technique that was then perfected by the U.S. after it recovered and reconciled with its mad dog Nazi assets during the Cold War. Indeed, an overwhelming amount of Cold War propaganda is directly derivative of anti-Jewish clich?s that were intensified by the systematic distortions of reality that had been produced by the Nazis. When these techniques were re-adopted by the United States after World War 2, Henry Ford?s ?International Jew,? that Hitler and Goebbels trotted out as ?the International Zionist Conspiracy? (and sometimes as the ?International Bolshevik Jew Conspiracy,? and often resurrected now as the ?United Nations Jew Commie Banker Conspiracy,? which defies all attempts at interpretation), was morphed into the ?International Communist Conspiracy? (ICC), which became a catchy and easy (ir)rationale for jingoists across the Empire. Never mind that an ICC has the same motive and moreover is as divorced from the historical record as Ford and Hitler?s original ?International Jew.?

The overall pattern at work, both in the Third Reich and in the U.S., is the use of irrelevant, misinterpreted, or completely fabricated events in order to convince an easily misled population (which has nothing to gain from militarism, but is susceptible to jingoism, racism, ethnocentrism) that wars of conquest are sound policies, moral endeavors, and, overall, necessary actions for the protection of the ?national interest.? N.B. that many of these propaganda hoaxes seem to be more effective now than they were when first produced. Also N.B., these are the times that the state was forced, for whatever reasons, to consult with the public?either Congress or the people. Most U.S. crimes are committed without recourse to either, or with only a general, vague acknowledgement: ?Oh, that CIA is just protecting Freedom from Evil! We can?t tell you what they?re doing specifically, because that would compromise them to the Forces of Darkness!?

1775 ? Britain: so it begins, and the story runs that Evildoer British imperialists took away Our Liberty, &c.; produced Vicious Boston Massacres, Wicked Stamp Acts, Malevolent Massachusetts Uprisings; and tried to import tea. While the British were certainly imperialistic, and tea is the mark of the ruling class in colonial times, we should take heed that the first offensive of the American War for Independence was a colonial invasion of Quebec. Huh? You mean, before they even signed the Declaration, the proto-United States were already invading other countries? You bet. What?s at stake here is the Proclamation Line and the Quebec Act, both of which prevented the fledgling colonies from expanding. And be sure to recall that during the next U.S. war, a conquest of Canada would again be attempted.

1812 ? Britain: ah?tales of ?naval impressments.? Too bad that this narrative, of war caused by U.S. sailors being conscripted, like slaves, into the British privateering fleet, is a lie; too bad that the landowners all across the infant U.S. wanted the British, French, Spanish, and natives off the continent so they could expand their holdings, import more slaves, and thereby increase profits; too bad that plans for such expansion existed way before the declaration of hostilities. The keys here are Florida, the Caribbean, and the western frontier. And never mind that the early American fortunes were made largely by the same forms of piracy and high seas ?privateering? of which the US accused Britain.

1846 ? Mexico: the U.S. is forced to retaliate against the Mexicans, since Mexican troops ruthlessly attacked U.S. regiments, who just happened to be occupying slave-owning Texas?south of the River Nuences. Why would the Evildoers in Mexico do that? Not, I hope, because Texas was part of Mexico? Not, I fear, because Mexicans were anti-slavery (abolished since 1829)? Not, I believe, because the U.S. had aggressively assaulted Mexico multiple times already, including the original secessionist agitation in Texas? No, none of that matters; they?re just Evil.

1898 ? Spain: the ?Remember the Maine!? slogan as well as Hearst newspapers proclaiming that Cuba needed a ?humanitarian intervention??both obvious as lies to anyone who is serious?help sway people in the U.S. to genocidal furor. Enter Empire, the subjugation of the people of Guam, Puerto Rico, and Cuba, and the Philippine genocide.

1917 ? Central Powers: the Lusitania incident and the Zimmerman Telegram fire up U.S. war fervor; too bad the Wilson administration provoked the Germans by aiding the British under a flag of ?neutrality,? generated tons of anti-German racialist BS, and managed to invade every country in the Caribbean, including Mexico several times. Also, we needn?t forget that the Wilsonian declaration of War was timed perfectly with Lenin?s ?April Theses.? All in the name of ?protecting democracy,? from Evildoers, no doubt! An honest student of history will note that it?s more like ?protecting certain segments of Kapital from others, whilst destroying genuine democratic resistance.?

1918 ? Russia: ?Communists eat babies!? ?Bolsheviks seek to conquer world!? ?International Jewry grabs power in Russia!? ?Reds to start war in India next!? ?Socialism and Incest: partners in Sin!? So ran the newspapers, every day, in every city, after Czarist absolutism was broken by popular resistance, no thanks to the U.S. Wilson?s administration used such simplistic pretenses in a failed attempt to ?strangle bolshevism in its cradle,? as one imperialist from a different genocidal nation put it. Despite what apologist hacks might believe, when this hot intervention failed, the Cold War began. The real motives, of course, behind western intervention weren?t mentioned (or were they, and we?ve been asked to forget them?): Capital Capital Capital Capital.

1941 ? Axis Powers: the Pearl Harbor attack was known in advance, no matter how ?sudden? or how much ?infamy? Roosevelt would later claim for it. N.B. FDR?s well-planned provocation strategy to ensure that Japan would attack the U.S., thus allowing the U.S. to dictate terms to the rest of the world, which would be destroyed by war?s end. NB that the overrated Operation Overlord was delayed just long enough for the Soviet Union to be shattered by Kapital?s mad dog Hitler, but just timely enough to prevent the Soviets from taking out all of the fascists in Europe, from the Volga to Gibraltar.

1945 ? Japan: event?nukes; propaganda lie??saving Japanese and American lives?; bitter truth?self-serving genocide and terrorism to intimidate Stalin. Only *******s can believe the U.S. story here.

GrassAndRocks · 10-27-2007, 07:45 PM

1950 ? DPRK: despite claims that ?the Totalitarian North ruthlessly invaded the Free South,? it looks as though a communist North reacted to a long series of provocations carried out by a fascistic South, which included border skirmishes, coordinated raids, and artillery battery. But who cares? We?re talking about the ICC here! America to the rescue! Of fascism!

1952 ? East Germany: despite Soviet attempts to get out of Berlin, requiring only assurances from the U.S. that Germany would be a) democratic, b) demilitarized, c) united, and d) neutral, the U.S. insisted on the precarious, ignorant status quo, obviously preferring it to the just Soviet proposal. Up, then, went the Berlin Wall in 1961, which was called an act of tyranny by moronic U.S. commentators, but was intended by the Soviet Union to keep fascists, CIA operatives, saboteurs, assassins, and other agents of Kapital away. This event is largely responsible for much escalation of the Cold War during 50s, which would predictably and wrongly be blamed entirely on the USSR and seen as just another ICC atrocity.

1953 ? Iran: Commies are gonna get us! The ICC strikes again! Or so it was said by flag-waving reichtards. The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit. The U.S. disagreed with Mossadegh.

1954 ? Guatemala: Commies are gonna get us! The ICC strikes again! Or so it was said by flag-waving reichtards. The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit. The U.S. disagreed with Arbenz.

1958 ? Lebanon: In accordance with the Eisenhower Doctrine, any incursions in the Near East (i.e., by the ICC, but not by the United States) will be met with lethal force by America! That?s because the United States never acts out of self-interest!

1964 ? Vietnam: the USS Maddox gets hit by some lightning, but LBJ thought it?d be a good idea to bow before the banking cartels, the Seven Sisters, the Pentagon, and crusty McCarthyoids, thereby inventing the notion that the (repeat the old script) Red North ruthlessly invaded the Free South?or, at least the ICC ruthlessly targeted an innocent U.S. naval vessel in international waters. Turns out that there was no attack, that the ship was in Hanoi?s waters, and was not-at-all-innocently deploying Special Forces and other anti-communist swine into the North for the normal roster of Kapitalist Karnage.

1970 ? Cambodia: Commie sympathizers on the Ho Chi Minh Trail are running weapons from ICC Headquarters to ICC cadres in the outskirts of Saigon! Time for a Secret Bombing Campaign! This hype helped to retroactively justify the Nixon-Kissenger policy and thereby legitimate the murder of over 500K Cambodian peasants.

1973 ? Chile: Commies are gonna get us! The ICC strikes again! Or so it was said by flag-waving reichtards. The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit. The U.S. disagreed with Allende.

1977 ? El Salvador: The ICC is establishing a beachhead on North America! Smash that juggernaut El Salvador!

1981 ? Nicaragua: Commies are gonna get us! The ICC strikes again! Or so it was said by flag-waving reichtards. The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit. The U.S. disagreed with Ortega.

1983 ? Grenada: Commies are gonna get us! The ICC strikes again! Or so it was said by flag-waving reichtards. The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit. The U.S. disagreed with Bishop.

1986 ? Libya: Evil Terrorist Nation! Quit doing Terrorist things! We will bomb you! Turns out that the Libyans weren?t responsible, after all, for the acts of ?terror? of which they?d been accused. Hmm?a high publicity bombing mission right in the middle of the Iran-Contra Affair? What a coincidence! And at a time when Gorbachev was making peaceful overtures and the U.S. was in danger of having no enemies? Amazingly coincidental! Note well the subtle beginnings of a shift from the ICC to a much more vague ?International Terrorist Conspiracy.?

1989 ? Panama: They said that Noriega was an Evildoer Drug dealer! You must go Evil Doper! USA All The Way! Humanitarian Intervention! We should mention that Noriega was attempting to institute some democratic reforms and social services, had been a CIA asset, largely oversaw U.S. drug smuggling, stole back the election from the U.S. supported Endara?and could document his and U.S. involvement in the Iran-Contra Affair. But why trouble anyone with the facts? Especially the fact that the true meaning of the words ?Operation Just Cause? is that U.S. Delta Force teams secretly attacked U.S. Army units so that the US could claim, ?Panamanian terrorists are shooting us!? Again, the subtleties are instructive: we see in this instance the advent of interventions in order to stop the ?International Narco-Terrorist Conspiracy.?

1991 ? Kuwait: the famous ?dead babies? hoax, which was revealed to be a lie. Other tidbits: Kuwait had provoked Iraq in numerous ways; Iraq got approval from its imperial master, the U.S., before invading; Bush had personal investments in the region; and U.S. strategy had long called for a way to control the Gulf States directly. With the USSR gone and the Kuwait-Iraq border dispute, the U.S. now had both pretext and opportunity.

1992 ? Bosnia: never mind all of the dead Serbs. Instead, check out this photo! The Evil Serb Evildoers have Evilly put some guy in a concentration camp at Trnopolje! Look at the barbed wire! Look at how starved he is! Oh?wait a minute?looks like that the barbed wire is around someone?s shed, that the photographer is in the shed, that the starving guy is a refugee on the outside of the barbed fence, that the headline ?Belsen 92? is a lie, that there were no concentration camps, and that the entire series of U.S. operations in the early 1990s were resurrected Nazi policies on Yugoslavia, which still maintained some socialistic economic policies. Well, I?ll be damned: another ?humanitarian intervention? for Kapitalism.

1993 ? Somalia: Yet another ?Humanitarian intervention!? Thing is, the famine was nearly over, the U.S. wasn?t anywhere near where it had been, the Somalis already hated the U.S. for thrusting Barre on them, and the U.S. was only there now for 1) oil prospecting, 2) uranium mining, 3) military basing, 4) public relations, and 5) a ?paid advertisement? for the Pentagon, in Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Colin Powell?s cynical phrase.

1998 ? Sudan: Evil terrorists are making VX gas in that big factory! Tomahawk it! Turns out, though, that the plant manufactured antibiotics for half the country. Given that the Sudan was in the midst of a disease crisis, the destruction of their medical infrastructure only served to exacerbate the problem. How many died as a result? Who knows?the U.S., as is typical, doesn?t care to investigate, apologize, or acknowledge.

1999 ? Kosovo: ?Humanitarian intervention!? Now for something completely different. Racak, Srebrenica, Izbica, Trepca?all more complicated than they seem, as according to numerous international organizations, the FBI, and so on. Ethnic cleansing? Only if we are talking about the cleansing of Serbs by NATO. And the banner hoax here: the ?Serbian MIG,? allegedly attacking civilians, is revealed as a fraud in state-press photos, which obviously display English writing on the alleged fuselage.

2001 ? Afghanistan: Evil Terrorists got us! We will get them back! Of course, the true story is much more complicated, involving U.S. complicity, deception, and strategic planning at all levels, as noted in the recent historical record.

2003 ? Iraq: Evil! Smite Evil! Get oil! Did I say oil? I meant that Evildoer tried to kill my daddy! One excellent hoax, besides the manufactured general ?threat? rhetoric, is the alleged 15 kg of ?weapons-grade uranium? recovered in Turkey in mid 2002, allegedly bound for Iraq from ?Eastern Europe.? Too bad that this ?weapons-grade uranium? has ?Made in West Germany? written on it?in English?and that?s just the beginning of the lies. Consider, for example, that every claim made by the US concerning alleged Iraqi WMD has turned out to be either completely wrong or intentionally fabricated. Consider also that every claim about the Hussein regime?s alleged support for terrorism has turned out to be completely wrong or intentionally fabricated?with the notable exception of the PLF.

Turkey a client state from 1947 to the present??!! LOL.
Saudi Arabia a puppet of the US since 1944?? LMAO.
Afghanistan from 1992 to the present a client state??!! ROFL.
Germany from 1933-45 a client state??!! DOUBLE ROFL.

Hilarious. This forum is absolutely hilarious. Chomsky FTL.

Saudi Arabia a puppet of the US since 1944?? LMAO.
Afghanistan from 1992 to the present a client state??!! ROFL.
Germany from 1933-45 a client state??!! DOUBLE ROFL.

Hilarious. This forum is absolutely hilarious. Chomsky FTL.

The CIA, or the United States government, or U.S. business (in most cases all three) was somehow involved in the rise of power of all those regimes. Client doesn't mean the United States dominated their politics, or were pulling all the strings.

Again, refer back to THIS:

"Therefore, this document should not be interpreted as an argument that:

a) All global crimes are or have been the fault of the United States;

b) The United States began all of the conflicts herein enumerated, or furthermore is the only initiator of hostilities;

c) The United States is the singular actor on the stage of imperialism, the only violator of international law and human rights, and always the sole cause of the events hereafter enumerated;

d) The United States is a malicious ?evil? nation, united in a single-minded purpose to smash the world, with no internal opposition, ideological dissent, or class conflict;

e) United States foreign policy is unique in its motives, goals, illegitimacy, criminality, methods, and barbarism;

f) United States foreign policy is democratically controlled and thus all U.S. citizens (regardless of class, race, status, sex, party, education, region, age, religion, creed, awareness, and so forth) are fully and equally answerable for it;

g) Had the United States not committed the following list of crimes, then everything would be perfectly utopian everywhere."

I read some of it, skimmed the rest:

It is very unprofessionally done, if it was supposed to be convincing. That isn't to say that the US is saintly every time and except for a few retards, nobody thinks that US does everything right.

However, the stretching that was done here was ridiculous. A lot of those death tolls were simply incorrect.

turning down Stalin?s offer to attack Germany jointly in 1938

I know for sure this didn't happen. Stalin wanted to delay the war until 1943 at the latest so they could have been adequately prepared.

How many countries has the US annexed?

I won't defend every piece of knowledge on this list, because I don't have the ability to do that, as I am not some plethora of knowledge. But one must definitely look into these claims, check the sources, and evaluate the situations. You have to remember that this list is only what knowledge we have available to us at this time, and not everything that United States has committed is on here, and at the same time SOME sources may be biased, and some information may be stretched.

But I would ask you WHERE your sources for death tolls are coming from?

If you want to be serious, the original colonies were stolen from the native Americans. The United States annexed all the native lands in the Lousiana Purchase, and stole Florida and much of Mexico. Puerto Rico as a commonwealth, and Hawaii.

But "annexation" of land is not how things work in modern times. We arn't Rome, no one is making that argument, and it is a moot point.

ROFL.

Do you know how many IR guys use that "definition" of what a client state entails? None. But I'll play devil's advocate here for a second...

...why isn't the United States a client state of the KSA, according to that definition?

X2. I looked at that and laughed.

How in the hell would the United States be a client state of the KSA?

Secondly, what are IR guys? And I didn't give a definition of client state.

"Client state is one of several terms used to describe the subordination of one state to a more powerful state in international affairs. It is the least specific of these terms and may be treated as a broad category which includes satellite state, puppet state, neo-colony, protectorate, vassal state and tributary state. (See also unequal treaty.) The idea that there might be a hierarchy of states, some more or less dependent on others, contradicts the doctrine of Westphalian sovereignty which holds that each state is a distinct, separate and sovereign entity."

What I meant was that the US is not responsible for the majority of these death tolls. They are for some but others, just because they wrote some of the infrastructure, or sent a few advisors doesn't mean that they are responsible.

Besides, even if it was imperalism, the US often had no gain on some of these nations. Like Uganda. Idi Amin pretty much bucked against the west from the start, kicking out many foreigners, and went at it alone until people got tired of him in 1979.

I don't know all these either but the few things I do know here are all wrong. There is the slight chance that the two things I know for sure are the only mistakes but there is the greater chance that the majority of it is extremely inaccurate in regards to the US involvement.

I would disagree with you in that respect, because the examples that I know are all correct. But again, I don't know a large portion of them on this list. I believe U.S. involvement is MUCH more than "providing infrastructure or sending advisers." In the examples I know of, there were various forms of aid given to oppressive dictators, whether it be through military aid directly, military spending, intelligence, training of paramilitary forces, help planning military coups of democratically elected governments, etc.

The only thing I know about Idi Amin is from the movie "Last King of Scotland", haha, so I won't discuss that either.

If you would like the original MS word document, it has endnotes citing the sources used, and your welcome to look them up if you'd like.
