'invest' billions of dollars in a country on the pretext that we are 'helping to create a democracy'! Anyone who believes that must have fallen asleep back in the fifties, just woke up and thinks we are the good guys fighting Commies all over again.
The TRUTH is that our foreign policy is NEVER about altruism, or about our 'safety'. It is about MONEY
It is about 'investing' billions in countries that will return huge PROFITS to a select few, OBSCENE profits and the scam has been so lucrative, they just can't stop.
The 'recipe' is always the same. Demonize some 'leader', back 'protesters' with money and arms in order to destabilize any leader who isn't going to cooperate with our 'goals'.
Then use propaganda, the Corporate Media helps with that, to rile up the American people to SUPPORT the 'investors'.
When the mission is accomplished, untold numbers of human beings will be dead, tortured, maimed which means NOTHING to the 'investors'. Fodder, collateral damage, terrorists, they have a 'euphemism' for those dead children, grandparents, dogs cats or whatever other living thing is destroyed.
The scam is so obvious by now you would think it wouldn't work anymore. But they are very clever.
The Iraq 'investment' which did not benefit the American people in any way, even though it was THEIR money they 'invested', worked because they got at least HALF the country to support it. We the people spend YEARS fighting among each other, which kept us blind to what they are really up to.
They have successfully divided the country into 'teams'. Now it is the other team's turn to keep the money flowing. And while the Left is a bit more difficult to fool, they know they have enough support, solidified on the Right the minute you mention 'WAR' and now a segment on the Left.
What they fear most is that the people will stop fighting with each other long enough to see through the fog and JOIN FORCES finally to put a stop to it.
Which is why they HATE the Left who have seen through it for a long time.
Those are my observations from watching what has been going on over the past dozen years or so.
One thing we ALL know, NONE OF IT has benefited the American people. All of it has benefited the usual suspects, Cheney, Defense contractors et al. Not even making us 'safer'. Diane Feinstein claims we are 'less safe now than ever'. She THOUGHT she was justifying MORE of our money being invested. What she did was to confirm the Left's opinion that it was NEVER about our safety.
And yes, what is going on on DU has been pretty disturbing, but not new at all to anyone watching over the past number of years. They MUST protect their money flow no matter what.
