Yale crowd a tough one for Bush

By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — After decades of shunning his Ivy League roots, President Bush returned to his alma mater Monday for a Yale University homecoming marked by humor and protests. Boos drowned out applause when Bush received an honorary law degree and when he rose to address more than 2,000 graduates on the grounds of the university's gothic-style Old Campus. Hundreds of students raised signs to protest Bush's policies on the environment, abortion rights and the death penalty. Others turned their backs to the stage.

The chopper's 666 insignia should make the Zionist-Illuminati controllers proud...

Looks like the leaders of Islam were right. "Amerika" the alien federal ZOG is the great satan. How will the deceieved judeo-Christians deal with this fulfilled prophecy? Wake up? Or continue bowing before the Beast? God will bring Judgment for these sins - and they will find their "pre-trib" rapture has been ruptured.

A true Christian Patriot who warns America to repent of this Anti-Christ regime & all of its sick abominations of desolation!

Michael Rivero is a moron. "It's on the Internet! So it must be true!"

This guy is so lame he is falliable for anything on the internet. The internet has no rules, no borderlines and no truth to it. How the hell are we supposed to know which from which...

The marines do this stuff all the time. Do anything to "frighten" the enemy and show that they will kick the opponent's ass no matter what. Quoting the Big Red One.

No Mission too Difficult, No Sacrifice too Great, DUTY FIRST!

The Arab world are right to regard the American establishment as the Great Satan; events have proved them right. The USA has lost the moral high ground but then, they never had it. This is a country - the USA - that since 1939 has unleashed its bombs on 41 nations and peoples. The Great Satan indeed.
Whatever happens to America now - they can't say they didn't invite it with their fat redneck jaw sticking right out ready. And I write as an Irishman. When people like ME hate you then the entire world does, except Israel of course for whom you are a foot soldier. God rest your souls.

Either love him or hate him... just look at the reviews at alexa.com on Michael Rivero brillient news site whatreallyhappened.com.... if he is racist can someone produce evidence of his racism?????

The Dollar and what it is that their ideology of Money Perversion means for the world.

They asked for signs....

Signs were sent.........


Doubt what you have in front of you

Call Micheal Rivero a racist all you want.....Slinging mud is all you have left...

Proud to be fucking American? Maybe other than fucking running around so proud and mighty about being American you can look up the history that put you in your cooshy seat and allowed you to saw that. Freedoms yes .. but at what cost. You media spoon fed bastard. We kill millions of people to drop the oil 50 cents. We attack a nation without viable proof that they attacked upon us. Its all a guess. FBI and CIA have admited that they have nothing on Suddahm (mispelled) , yet your proud. You just imagine liviing in Bagdad right now. And see if you wouldnt hate us for everything we have done in the past, and what we are doing now. There had to be another option other than this. We have a redneck as a president who didnt have the balls or the knowledge on how to bring that about. Re-election? Oh hell no. I doubt he will get even close to the majority of the vote. Not even the electorial college can save his ass this time.

I have pics of the queen and putin and a couple of other top officials making the sign of the devil also

and you may find this site of interest as well.......

Well it is obvious that this picture has been altered, who ever has posted thid should see that this picture has been super imposed

[b]Recent American Wars/Incursions[/b]

[b]1941[/b]

Japan - On December 8, one day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States declares war on Japan, thereby entering World War II. On December 11, Germany and Italy declare war on the United States as part of their agreement with Japan. This brings the United States into the Allied Powers in full.

Germany - Months before the US formally entered World War II, on April 10, the USS Niblack attacked a German U-boat. This was the first engagement between US and German forces related to, but not part of, World War II.

Panama - With US encouragement and support, Ricardo Adolfo de la Guardia deposed Panamanian president Arias in a military coup. The US Secretary of War (Stimson) cheered this development, accusing Arias of pro-Nazi sympathies.

[b]1943[/b]

Axis Powers - World War II continued. In 1943 the US shipped 6500 planes, 138,000 motor vehicles, and tons of steel and machinery to the Soviet Union. This enabled the Soviets to launch their successful offensives against Germany in 1943. Allied forces, including Americans, invaded Sicily on July 10. On September 3, the Allied invasion entered into southern Italy under General Eisenhower. On September 3, Italy surrendered, although the Germans stepped in and took much of northern Italy, which was placed under Mussolini.

African Americans - In Detroit, a major race riot developed involving an estimated 100,000 people, whites and blacks. However, the Michigan National Guard was currently in Federal service related to World War II. Governor Kelly requested the intervention of Federal troops and President Roosevelt complied. The riots were suppressed by the US Army.

Honduras - The United States embassy begins actively aiding dictator Tiburcio Carías Andino in silencing domestic dissent as being contrary to the war effort. Among the first victims was the liberal El Cronista newspaper.

[b]1944[/b]

Axis Powers - World War II continued. Allied forces invaded central Italy. On June 6, the Normandy invasion began. By the end of the year, most of France was liberated from Germany. Allied forces, led by the US, began bombing Japan proper.

[b]1945[/b]

Axis Powers - World War II continued. Allied forces, spearheaded by Americans, entered Germany by February. Anglo-American forces liberated northern Italy from the German backed puppet regime of Mussolini. On May 1, the Battle of Berlin began. May 8 was "V E Day", or "Victory in Europe Day". On August 6, the United States destroyed Hiroshima in the world's first nuclear attack. On August 9, a second nuclear bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. On September 2, Japan formally surrendered. However, the US state of war with Germany was maintained until 1951.

Korea - After the December 27, 1945, Moscow Conference, the United States established a military government over South Korea which remained in power until 1948. However, on September 6, 1945, the people of South Korea had established the popular People's Republic of South Korea. This government was popularly elected by several regional governing committees that had been administrating food distribution and keeping order. However, with the arrival of US troops, this popular government was crushed and the military government was established under the command of Lieutenant General John R. Hodge.

Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh, who was ill with malaria is saved by a US Office of Strategic Services (OSS, forerunner of the CIA) team. Later in the year, in September, an OSS team led by Colonel A. Peter Dewey landed in Saigon to collect intelligence. On September 26, 1945, Col. Dewey was killed in an ambush in Saigon. Both the French and the Vietminh blamed each other for the assassination. In view of how the situation developed, later the US adopted the position that the Vietminh were responsible. This was the first American killed in the Vietnam conflict.

[b]1946[/b]

Philippines - After the liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese, the United States granted the Filipinos independence on July 4, 1946. However, before doing so, the Huks of central Luzon, renowned fighters against the Japanese, had established their own state with a democratic government. The US refused to recognize the Huk state and demanded that they surrender all their arms to the occupying US forces, which they refused to do. This US action started the Hukbalahap Rebellion, which was turned over to the Filipino Army after independence in 1946 and lasted until 1954.

Panama - The US Army opens the notorious "School of the Americas" in US controlled Panama to train Latin American right-wing terrorists in the arts of torture, terrorism, insurrection, economic sabotage, and other skills.

Germany - Although the fighting came to an end, the United States remained formally at war with Germany until 1951.

Japan - The United States remained formally at war with Japan until 1952.

[b]1948[/b]

Korea - After the December 27, 1945, Moscow Conference, the United States established a military government over South Korea which remain in power until 1948. On August 15, the Republic of Korea was proclaimed and the US military government officially terminated. By 1949 all US forces were removed from South Korea.

Italy - Fearing a legal election that might bring Communists to power, the CIA launched a major operation against the Italian people to stiffle their democratic will. The campaign included buying votes, propaganda broadcasts, assaults on Communists, as well as infiltration and disruption of progressive organizations throughout the country. The operation succeeded and the Communists did not win the elections.

Costa Rica - The US supports the military coup of José Figueres Ferrer in Costa Rica. The US Army volunteers its forces in Panama to oppose the "communist control" of the country. However, Figueres' coup is successful without his having to call in the US forces pledged to support him.

Korea - After the December 27, 1945, Moscow Conference, the United States established a military government over South Korea which remain in power until 1948.

[b]1949[/b]

Greece - During the Greek Civil War, the United States firmly supported the neo-fascist government in Athens against the people of Greece. In the last five months of 1947, the US sent 74,000 tons of military equipment to the Greek rightists, including artillery, dive bombers, and stockpiles of napalm. 250 US Army officers were also sent to Greece, under the command of General James Van Fleet to serve as "advisors" to the right-wing forces. Van Fleet developed what later bacame a standard policy against popular insurrections - the policy of forcibly removing thousands of rural Greeks in an effort to isolate the popular guerrillas and remove their base of support. This US military involvement continued until the popular Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS) called for a cease-fire in 1949.

Germany - The United States remained formally at war with Germany until 1951.

Japan - The United States remained formally at war with Japan until 1952.

[b]1950[/b]

Korea - The United States begins its "police action" intervention in Korea, popularly known as the Korean War on June 27. US General Douglas MacArthur was appointed commander in Korea on July 8. By September 13 the US and South Koreans launched a major offensive successfully reversing much of North Korea's earlier advances. On October 9, US forces crossed the 38th parallel, thereby invading North Korea. However, a North Korean counter-offensive on November 1, began to drive the US forces back. After another American offensive was initiated on November 24, substantial Chinese forces intervened on behalf of the North. By the end of 1950, the Chinese/North Koreans had successfully driven the American/South Koreans back to the 38th parallel.

Vietnam - After the United States recognized Boa Dai's regime, the united States began subsidizing the French. At the same time, the Chinese began subsidizing the Vietminh. On August 3, a Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG Indochina) of US Special Forces arrived in Saigon. This early team did not play a direct combat role, merely an "advirsory" one and they complimented the ever growing number of US political, diplomatic, and economic advisors flooding into South Vietnam. By September 17, the 128 MAAG soldiers began supervising the French use of US provided military equipment. By the end of 1950, the United States was paying for half of France's war expenditure in Vietnam.

[b]1951[/b]

Korea - The Korean War continued. A major Chinese/North Korean offensive resulted in Seoul being taken on January 4. On January 25, American/South Korean forces launched a limited offensive. On March 14, the American/South Korean forces retook Seoul. On April 3 the American/South Koreans reinvaded North Korea. General MacArthur was relieved of command on April 11 and succeeded by General Matthew B. Ridgeway because MacArthur demanded that the President should launch a full nuclear strike against both North Korea and China. A Chinese/North Korean counter-offensive that began on May 15 generally failed.

China - On January 6, the US admitted to providing "Nationalist China", the Chinese rebel province of Taiwan, with arms and ammunition.

Germany - Although most of the fighting had ended in 1945 and 1946, it wasn't until October 19, 1951 that the United States officially ended its state of war with Germany.

Japan - The United States remained formally at war with Japan until 1952.

[b]1952[/b]

Korea - The Korean War continued.

Japan - On March 20 the US Senate ratified the Japanese peace treaty thereby formally ending the state of war between the United States and Japan.

[b]1953[/b]

Korea - The Korean War finally ended with the signing of the armistice on July 26 at Panmunjon. The cease-fire and US occupation of South Korea remains in effect 2003 and America's extensive use of landmines in Korea is a leading factor in the United State's continued refusal to sign the landmine convention. On the other hand, the last Chinese forces left North Korea on October 22, 1958.

French Indochina - In April 1953, the CIA's Civil Air Transport (CAT, also known as "Air America") began flying tanks and other heavy equipment to the Franch at Gai Lam airbase, near Hanoi in US C-119's. This operation was soon expanded into Operation Squaw, with the CIA's CAT pilots making numerous airdrops to French troops in Laos.

Iran - The US Central Intelligence Agency succeeded in overthrowing the government of the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh by means of a military coup after he threatened to nationalize British Petroleum holdings in Iran. The democratic government was replaced by the brutal dictatorship of the Pahlevi Shah of Iran, whose CIA trained secret police force, SAVAK, brutally crushed all opposition and popular dissent.

Canada - As part of its WMD testing program, the US disseminated potentially toxic zinc cadmium sulfide throughout downtown Winnepeg, Canada.

[b]1954[/b]

Guatemala - President Eisenhower funded a right-wing military coup against the Indian-dominated popular government of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala. Arbenz' error had been in expropriating 234,000 acres of land owned by United Fruit although he offered the company compensation for the land. The popular government had been legally elected and was overthrown by a mercenary force that had been trained by the CIA in Honduras and Nicaragua and supported by four US fighter planes flown by US pilots. After the invasion, Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas, who had received US military training at Fort Leavenworth, KS earlier, was installed as dictator. Armas, once installed in power, returned all 234,000 acres of land to the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, abolished the tax on interest and dividends to foreign investors, eliminated the secret ballot, and jailed thousands of political critics. Not surprisingly, CIA Director Allan Dulles was also a shareholder in United Fruit.

China - As part of the American war effort in Korea, thirteen US spies were captured in China and sentenced to prison on November 23. On December 17 the Chinese chose to release the American spies through an agreement brokered through the UN.

French Indochina - By means of a contract with the French signed on March 3, the CIA's Civil Air Transport (CAT, also known as "Air America") supplied 12 C-119's to the French, to be flown by CAT pilots and maintained by US Air Force personnel. operations from Hanoi's Cat Bi airfield to Dien Bien Phu began just as the Vietminh began their assault on the French position. Between March 13 and the fall of Dien Bien Phu on May 7, CAT pilots flew 682 airdrops to French troops. One plane was shot down and two CAT pilots were killed and another was severely wounded.
CAT also supplied US C-46s for Operation Cognac, the evacuation of civilians from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. The CIA evacuated some 19,808 people out of North Vietnam while also smuggling members of the CIA's Saigon Military Mission into the North. However, efforts to establish paramilitary networks in the North failed. In June the CIA officially opened a military mission in Saigon.
The direct military assistance (MAAG Indochina, see 1950) continued its operations in the country. After Bao Dai selected Ngo Dinh Diem as Prime Minister, the Eisenhower administration pledged further support for South Vietnam's government and military.

[b]1955[/b]

China - On February 17, the US Seventh Fleet began evacuating Chinese nationalist rebels from the Tachen Islands.

Vietnam - On February 12, the first US military training detachments arrived in South Vietnam, to compliment the earlier US Special Forces MAAG Indochina (see 1950).

[b]1956[/b]

USSR, Eastern Europe - American U-2 spy missions over Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union begin. Carl Overstreet flew over East Germany and Poland (06/20/03); other missions were flown on July 2. On July 4, Carmen Vito flew the first spy mission flight over the Soviet Union and was followed in November by Frank Powers.

China - Starting in 1956, the CIA began financing, supporting, and supplying the Tibetan resistance movement against the Chinese. Most of the Tibetan resistance fighters came from the eastern region of Kham. The operation, codenamed "St. Circus", largely involved the training of Tibetan resistance fighters at Saipan and Camp Hale, Colorado, where they were taught guerrilla warfare. Once trained, the Tibetan fighters would be airdropped by the CIA into Tibet with weapons and equipment, where they were supposed to link up with other resistance fighters and the Dalai Lama's government in Lhasa.
After the Chinese crackdown on the Tibetans and the Dalai Lama was forced to flee Tibet, the CIA backed resistance fighters moved their base of operations to Mustang, Nepal, where they continued to launch attacks on the Chinese. Lhamo Tsering became the chief field officer for the CIA in Tibet and Mustang. At its height, the CIA maintained some 2,000 Tibetan resistance fighters, structured in a conventional military organization, at the base at Mustang.
In 1969 the CIA abruptly dropped all support for the Tibetan resistance. Although the resistance managed to struggle on until 1974, the lack of US financing and supplies after 1969 eroded their effectiveness.

[b]1957[/b]

African Americans - On September 3, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus called out National Guard troops to prevent black students from entering Central High School in Little Rock. The governor was finally forced to remove the troops on September 20. Subsequently President Eisenhower sent federal troops to Little Rock to prevent "mob rule."

Indonesia - After years of disinformation campaigns, and attempt to use pornographic films as a blackmail device, and finanacing President Sukarno's political opposition, the CIA launched direct operations against the Indonesian government. The CIA set up headquarters in Singapore, training facilities in the Philippines, and other bases in the region. The CIA began a massive campaign to arm political rebels in Indonesia. US Navy submarines began transporting rebel infiltraitors into Sumatra and US Air Force planes were used to air drop weapons and equipment to rebel forces already in the country. US forces from the Seventh Fleet also went ashore.

Iran - In 1957 the CIA, along with British intelligence, created the SAVAK secret police for the Shah of Iran. SAVAK quickly became an enormous intelligence monstrosity, infiltrating all aspects of Iranian society as well as running extensive networks abroad, largely focused on Iranian students overseas. Virtually independent from the start, the Shah himself had to create a separate "Special Intelligence Bureau" based in one of his palaces just to keep tabs on SAVAK. SAVAK operated as a virtual independent government in Iran, running all its own facilities and lacking virtually any oversight. The organization also became notorious for its extensive use of various torture techniques against any and all opponents of the Shah's regime, regardless of orientation. After the popular riots and demonstrations against the Shah's brutal police state in 1978, SAVAK responded with a massive crackdown, which killed some 12,000 to 15,000 Iranians and wounded/maimed up to another 50,000.
The organization was finally outlawed and dismantled after the Islamic Revolution and most of its leadership that remained in Iran was executed. Those abroad were given safe haven by the United States and Britain. Many of them came to lead many of the Iranian monarchist exile groups. Throughout the entire brutal life of SAVAK, it remained closely related to supported and 'advised' by the American CIA.

Laos - The CIA's Civil Air Transport (CAT, also known as "Air America") began its permanent presence in Laos on July 1, 1957.

[b]1958[/b]

China - After the Chinese government began shelling the rebel islands of Quemoy and Little Quemoy (under control of the Nationalist rebels in Taiwan), the US deployed an aircraft carrier and four destroyers to Taiwan to defend the rebels. On September 8, the US ships escorted rebel supply ships to the islands under Chinese attack, and the Chinese, opting not to confront the United States, withheld their fire, allowing the convoy safe passage.

Lebanon - Eight thousand US troops are landed in Lebanon at the request of Jordan and President Chamoun of Lebanon in reaction to the July 14, coup in Iraq. The US troops made sure that the pro-American government was not overthrown by the people. But by November, through a UN negotiated settlement, the US troops were withdrawn.

Indonesia - The rebellion that the CIA began organizing in 1957 finally erupted in Indonesia. CIA pilots supported the rebel offensives with bombing and strafing missions on the Indonesian government forces. The Indonesian military attache to Washington, Col. Alex Kawilarung, defected from his country and became the CIA's frontman leading the rebel forces against President Sukarno. The CIA bombing intensified on May 15 when CIA pilots bombed the Ambon marketplace on a Sunday morning, killing hundreds of Christians on their way to church.
On May 18, the Indonesians successfully downed one of the CIA planes and captured its pilot alive. Allen Lawrence Pope, an Air Force pilot during the Korean war and CIA pilot involved in supplying the French in Vietnam, remained an Indonesian prisoner for four years. The Indonesians quickly made this confirmation of US involvement public. After this incident, and the continued failure of the CIA backed rebels to win significant victories over the government, the United States began curtailing its support for the rebels. By July, the Indonesian government had successfully crushed the US-backed rebels.

[b]1959[/b]

Haiti - The US military helps "Papa Doc" Duvalier become dictator of Haiti. Duvalier's "Tonton Macoute" secret police terrorized the population by means of machetes, incredibly sadistic multilation and torture, and voodoo superstition. Before the fall of the Duvalier family, who are rescued by US forces, over 100,000 Haitians were killed and even more mutilated and tortured. At no point does the United States criticize their puppet's ruling style.

Laos - A US Special Forces Group, codenamed Hotfoot, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Arthur "Bull" Simons was stationed in Laos. The Group was divided into twelve Mobile Training Teams and were positioned at Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Pakse, and Savannekhet.

Vietnam - Although a number of US OSS / CIA operatives (1945, 1954, &c) and advisors had been killed in Vietnam prior to this time, 1959 saw the first actual combat deaths of US troops in the country when Viet Cong freedom fighters attacked US facilities at Bien Hoa, resulting in two US soldiers being killed.

[b]1960[/b]

Ecuador - After the popular Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra was elected and refused to comply with US demands that Ecuador break relations with Cuba and begin an active campaign against domestic Communists, the US launched a series of operations in Ecuador.
These included extensive infiltration of Ecuadorian political groups, both Left and Right, as well as the creation of numerous phoney organizations to stimulate destabilization and agitate political disturbances. The CIA extensively infiltrated the government as well, virtually taking control of the national postal service as well as the immigration department. Using control of the mail and communications, the CIA collected intelligence while simultaneously running multiple disinformation campaigns to cause splits and divisions among Ecuadorian Communists and others deemed a threat.
The CIA also began financing and manipulating Ecuadorian right-wing groups, especially using religion as an Anti-Communist lever, creating militant right-wing anti-Communist religious formations. The CIA would also bomb right-wing groups and lay the blame on the Left in order to further encourage anti-Communist violence and revenge terrorist attacks.
The CIA then organized the overthrow of Velasco, who was replaced by Vice President Carlos Julio Arosemana, a paid CIA employee (US$1,000 a month). However, this paid CIA agent also refused to break off relations with Cuba, so US operations in Ecuador continued. In March 1962 the CIA used its influence in the Ecuadorian military to threaten a coup if Arosemana did not comply with US demands regarding Cuba. Forced by the military to accept a new cabinet, amounting to a de facto coup, Arosemana complied with US demands.
The military coup resulted in a popular revolt of the people, but this was quickly crushed by the US trained and armed military. In 1963, the CIA and and Ecuadorian military dropped the pretense and replaced President Arosemana with an overt military junta. The military immediately outlawed communism and began using the CIA's Subversive Control Watch List to round up Communists and other Leftist throughout the country. Through the standard "state of emergency", the military suspended all civil liberties in Ecuador, the 1964 elections were cancelled. The CIA having a proper American dictatorship installed, ceased all disruption operations in Ecuador and overtly supported the junta as an ally against Communism.

Laos - The CIA's Civil Air Transport (CAT, also known as "Air America") began flying US Air Force H-19A helicopters based in Laos. These small helicopters were mostly used by the CIA to transport CIA operatives to outlying areas and to distribute propaganda leaflets during elections.
1960 also saw the Laotian civil war between neutralist paratroop commander Kong Le and rightwing general Phoumi Nosavan. The Communist Pathet Lao supported Kong Le while the US military and CIA actively supported Phoumi.

Soviet Union - Although US spying flights over the Soviet Union were not uncommon during the period, such operations became undeniable on May 1, 1960 when the Soviets shot down a US U-2 spy plane over its territory and captured its pilot, Francis Gary Powers. Sentenced to ten years as a spy by the Soviets, Powers was released in a spy exchange with the United States on February 10, 1962.

Cuba - President Eisenhower authorized the CIA to begin operations against Fidel Castro in Cuba. The CIA tries to assassinate Castro with exploding cigars and poisoned milkshakes. The CIA also launches a terrorist campaign in Cuba in hopes of destabilizing the regime, including burning agricultural fields, blowing up vessels in Cuban ports and industrial sabotage.

Guatemala - After officers in the military attempted a coup against US supported President Fuentes, US warships and 2,000 US troops were moved offshore to assist Fuentes should he ask for it. However, Fuentes was able to crush the coup by himself so no US forces landed. Some reports suggest that US aircraft assisted Fuentes during his crackdown, but this is contested.

El Salvador - After the regime promises open and free elections in the country, President Eisenhower deliberately withholds recognition and encourages a right-wing military coup who cancels the elections. Free elections might have resulted in a Left leaning government so had to be opposed.

[b]1961[/b]

Cuba - A Cuban rebel force, armed and trained by the United States and supported by US military logistical support and the Alabama National Guard attempted an invasion of Cuba. This "Bay of Pigs" invasion turned into an utter fiasco and was easily beaten back by Cuba.

Laos - On March 29, a group of 16 UH-34s were flown from Bangkok to the CIA Civil Air Transport's (CAT, also known as "Air America") new operating base at Udorn, Thailand, 40 miles south of Vientiane, Laos. These helicopter forces were used to supply the Hmong rebels against Pathet Lao in Laos. On May 30 the first CAT helicopter pilots died in Laos - Charles Mateer and Walter Wizbowski.

South Vietnam - The US military advisory group in Vietnam expanded, US military training specialists were assigned and US officers began going into action with the South Vietnamese forces. The US also gave $40,000,000 in arms and paid the salaries and provided the arms for another 20,000 troops for the South Vietnamese Army.

Dominican Republic - The CIA assassinates Rafael Trujillo, a murderous dictator supported by the United States since 1930. Trujillo's business interests had grown to some 60% of the entire national economy and were becoming a threat to American business interests.

Ecuador - After the popular Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra was elected and refused to comply with US demands that Ecuador break relations with Cuba and begin an active campaign against domestic Communists, the US launched a series of operations in Ecuador.
These included extensive infiltration of Ecuadorian political groups, both Left and Right, as well as the creation of numerous phoney organizations to stimulate destabilization and agitate political disturbances. The CIA extensively infiltrated the government as well, virtually taking control of the national postal service as well as the immigration department. Using control of the mail and communications, the CIA collected intelligence while simultaneously running multiple disinformation campaigns to cause splits and divisions among Ecuadorian Communists and others deemed a threat.
The CIA also began financing and manipulating Ecuadorian right-wing groups, especially using religion as an Anti-Communist lever, creating militant right-wing anti-Communist religious formations. The CIA would also bomb right-wing groups and lay the blame on the Left in order to further encourage anti-Communist violence and revenge terrorist attacks.
The CIA then organized the overthrow of Velasco, who was replaced by Vice President Carlos Julio Arosemana, a paid CIA employee (US$1,000 a month). However, this paid CIA agent also refused to break off relations with Cuba, so US operations in Ecuador continued. In March 1962 the CIA used its influence in the Ecuadorian military to threaten a coup if Arosemana did not comply with US demands regarding Cuba. Forced by the military to accept a new cabinet, amounting to a de facto coup, Arosemana complied with US demands.
The military coup resulted in a popular revolt of the people, but this was quickly crushed by the US trained and armed military. In 1963, the CIA and and Ecuadorian military dropped the pretense and replaced President Arosemana with an overt military junta.

Through the standard "state of emergency", the military suspended all civil liberties in Ecuador, the 1964 elections were cancelled. The CIA having a proper American dictatorship installed, ceased all disruption operations in Ecuador and overtly supported the junta as an ally against Communism.

Congo (Zaire) - The CIA assassinated the democratically elected Patrice Lumumba. However, Lumumba was a popular leader and his politics were too popular to allow the CIA to install his opponents into power. Four years of turmoil follow.

[b]1962[/b]

Cuba - As the Cuban Missile Crisis developed, on October 24, President Kennedy imposed a air and naval blockade on Cuba. This was coupled with US military flights over Cuban airspace. On November 20, the United States ended its blockade of Cuba after the crisis was resolved with the Soviet Union.

Guatemala - In March 1962, popular unrest against the US backed military regime of General Miguel Ydigoras Fuentes erupted, started by students, but soon joined by workers and peasants (almost all of whom were Indians). In order to crush the popular will of the Guatemalan people, the US quickly increased military aid to the Ydigoras regime and set up a training facility Izabal Province staffed by US Special Forces and Guatemalan officers trained at the notorious American "School of the Americas".
The Guatemalan military launched an immediate reign of terror, under US supervision, starting with hundreds being abducted and killed.

Brazil - The CIA begins an active operation in Brazil to prevent João Goulart from taking control of Congress. yet another instance of subverting democracy to defend 'democracy'.

Laos - With the formal Declaration on the Neutrality of Laos of July 23, 1962, the US pulled out all its military advisors and support staff and "Air America" stopped dropping weapons to the Hmong rebels. Only two CIA operatives were maintained in Laos with the mandate of monitoring Communist compliance with the neutrality agreement.

[b]1963[/b]

Dominican Republic - The CIA overthrew the democratically elected Juan Bosch in a military coup and installs a repressive right-wing junta.

Guatemala - General Ydigoras earned American displeasure by attempting to calm the situation by allowing the reformist (and popular) Juan Jose Arevalo to return to the country. The Kennedy administration promptly had him overthrown and replaced by Col. Enrique Peralta Azurdia. Peralta earned points with his very public first act, the shooting of eight trade union leaders and the public mutilation of their bodies. However, as brutal as Peralta was, he was also somewhat nationalist and as such repeatedly refused US demands that US Special Forces be "invited" in to help slaughter the peasants.

Vietnam - On November 1, the South Vietnamese military, led by General Duong Van Minh, overthrew the civilian government of Diem with CIA approval and cooperation. Diem had lost US favor and although the CIA did not play a direct role, it was aware of the plot from the start, supported it by promising non-intervention by US forces and quick recognition of the succeeding military regime. President Kennedy personally instructed the US State Department and Ambassador Lodge in Saigon to support the coup.

Iraq - From February to November 1963, the CIA extensively aided the Iraqi Ba'athists (the party of Saddam Hussein) in a large national massacre of Iraqi Communists. Among those slaughtered were Salam 'Adil, First Secretary of the Iraqi Communist Party.

[b]1964[/b]

Vietnam - The USS Maddox and US aircraft engaged in a skirmish with North Vietnamese torpedo boats after South Vietnamese naval raids on the North. Two days later, on August 4, a second skirmish between North Vietnamese topedo boats and US naval warships resulted in US airstrikes on North Vietnamese oil and naval installations. The matter was brought before the United Nations for mediation.
Later, especially since the end of the war, new information indicates that the US probably provoked the incident in order to agitate Congress into granting the President war making powers in Vietnam. Not long after this "Gulf of Tonkin Incident", on August 7, Congress passes the "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" which allowed the president wide powers to prevent further attacks and to provide military assistance to any South Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) member state. Senators Wayne L. Morse of Oregon and Ernest Gruening of Alaska cast the only opposing votes. General William Westmoreland replaced General Harkins as head of the U.S. forces in Vietnam and President Johnson initiated bombing raids against North Vietnam.
President Johnson also imposed an embargo on North Vietnam which continued until 1994.

Panama - Panamanian resentment over the US military presence in the Canal Zone reached a zenith in the January "Flag Riots". An earlier agreement that the flag of Panama would be flown beside the US flag in the canal zone was broken by US students at the American High School in the Canal Zone on January 8 and 9. The flag of Panama was removed and disregarded by the American students, sparking Panamanian students to launch an assault on the Canal Zone. The Panamanian students entered the Canal Zone to raise their flag and were confronted by American students who tore the Panamanian flag, sparking a series of riots. The riots lasted for three days and resulted in 20 deaths (all Panamanian), several hundred wounded, and extensive property damage (especially against US property in the country). US troops stationed in Panama defended the US canal zone and also made forays into Panama proper in an effort to protect US property.

Brazil - A CIA backed military coup overthrew the democratically elected government of Joao Goulart. The junta that replaced it became one of the most blood thirsty in history. General Castelo Branco created Latin America's first death squads (secret police who hunt down "Communist" for torture and murder, usually just political opponents). Later it was revealed that the CIA trained these death squads.

Dominican Republic - A popular rebellion erupted seeking to reinstall the popularly elected Juan Bosch (see 1963). But the revolt is crushed when US troops are landed to protect the CIA installed military junta against the popular will of the Dominican people.

Congo (Zaire) - A CIA backed military coup installs Mobutu Sese Seko as dictator. The hated and brutal Mobutu exploited his desperately poor country for billions.

[b]1965[/b]

Vietnam - After President Johnson started bombing North Vietnam in 1964, the US role in the Vietnamese civil war escalated. On March 8/9 the first US combat troops entered South Vietnam, to compliment the thousands of US troops that were already there in an "advisory" role. On April 7, President johnson authorized the use of US ground troops for offensive actions against North Vietnam. Subsequently, November 14-16 saw the first large scale engagement between US troops and the North Vietnamese Army.
As noted earlier, the US had been involved in Vietnam since 1945, however, 1965 saw the true beginning of the American "Vietnam War", which continued until 1973.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Dominican Republic - In order to "prevent another Cuba", to suppress a popular insurrection, an estimated 20,000 US troops invaded the Dominican Republic on April 28. Most of the whites in the country were evacuated by US forces and the popular revolt was crushed and US troops remained in the country until 1966.

African Americans - Starting on August 11 and lasting until August 17, a major race riot envelops Watts, a district of Los Angeles. The Watts Riots resulted in 35 people being killed, approximately 1,000 wounded and almost $50,000,000 in property damage. Fire damage is later estimated to be $175,000,000. Some 50,000 local and State police and National Guard troops are used to suppress the riots.

Greece - Because Prime Minister George Papandreou refused to give in to US demands on settling the Cyprus issue, the CIA under John Maury, head of the CIA station in Athens, helped King Constantine buy Centre Union Deputies for the parliament, resulting in the end of the Papandreou government. However, Papandreou's popularity was too great, leading to the US outright abolishing democracy in Greece in 1967 (see that year).

Laos - 1965 saw the start of the major American military operations in Laos that became known as the "secret war" although it wasn't all that secret. US air sorties over Laos averaged between 10 to 20 a day in 1965.

China - On January 8, a US U-2 spy plane engaged in an eight hour spy mission over China. The U-2 embarked from the US supported Chinese rebel province of Taiwan.

[b]1966[/b]

Vietnam - The American "Vietnam War", which began in earnest in 1965 continued until 1973.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Guatemala - With US support, the Peralta regime was replaced by that of Julio Cesar Mendez Montenegro (1966), who began his career as a total US puppet, allowing the US to do as it pleased and happily doing what he was told by Washington. Nevertheless, the US backed military still maintained firm control over the country. Mendez was nothing but a "yes man." After Mendez was installed, US intervention, directed by Col. John D. Webber of the American Military Mission, radically expanded. The US began shipping US military equipment, helicopters, and weaponry into Guatemala in much larger numbers. They also organized civilian "hunting bands" who were officially licensed to kill Indians as "potential guerrillas" at whim.
After this time, US Special Forces began joining Guatemalan military attacks on peasant villages. It was also revealed by Thomas and Marjorie Melville, American Catholic missionaries in Guatemala, that the CIA also began actively flying bombing and strafing missions against the peasantry. The prefered aircraft being specially modified F-51(D) fighters, modified for slaughtering ground based peasants - 50 cal machineguns, small rockets, and limited napalm bombs. US aircraft also launched napalm bombing missions from US bases in Panama.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the US Office of Public Safety (OPS) began a major operation to radically expand the Guatemalan police forces and to militarize them. By 1970 USAID reported that over 30,000 Guatemalan police had received OPS training, including torture techniques, "disappearances", and other terrorist training.

Dominican Republic - The US force that invaded in 1965 to crush a popular revolt against the Dominican Republic's dictatorship, finally left the country after successfully suppressing the attempted revolution.

Laos - During the "secret war" in Laos, US air sorties over Laos averaged between 10 to 20 per day.

[b]1967[/b]

Vietnam - The American "Vietnam War", which began in earnest in 1965 continued until 1973.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

African Americans - A few weeks after the race riots in Newark, New Jersey, new race riots developed in Detroit, Michigan. The Detroit riots see 43 people, 33 blacks and 10 whites, killed. Property damage is two to three times that of the earlier Newark riots. Local and State police and National Guard troops were used to quell the violence although their original deployment results in increased confusion and violence. Governor Romney received permission from President Johnson to call in Federal troops, but the Governor was able to suppress the riots with police and National Guard forces alone.

African Americans - In July a series of violent race riots developed in Newark, New Jersey. The result was 23 people dead, two whites and 21 blacks including six women and two children. The riots result in over $10,000,000 in property damage. Local and State police add to the tensions and the riots are not quelled until National Guard troops are brought in.

Greece - Two days before elections, likely to be won by the liberal George Popandreous, the CIA backed a military coup which resulted in the "Reign of the Colonels". During the next six years of military control, the use of torture and murder against political opponents becomes the norm in Greece. The new military dictator, George Papadopoulos, had been a paid CIA employee since 1952 and prior to that distinguished himself as an effective leader of the Nazi "Security Battalion" in Greece that effectively hunted down and killed Greek resistance fighters to the Nazi occupation of Greece. Papadopoulos immediately declared martial law and in the first month of his regime counted some 8,000 victims. He then appointed himself prime minister. The US finally admitted its support for the Greek fascists in 1999.

[b]1968[/b]

Vietnam - The American "Vietnam War", which began in earnest in 1965 continued until 1973. 1968 saw major escalations. On January 21, the Battle of Khe Sanh began and continued to rage for the next six months. January 31 saw the Tet Offensive by the North Vietnamese, during which, one North Vietnamese assault team even penetrated the US embassy in Saigon, but was repulsed. On March 16, US troops under William L. Calley Jr. massacred over 150 unarmed civilians in the "My Lai Massacre".
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

North Korea - The US spy ship USS Pueblo was captured by North Korean naval forces while inside North Korean territorial waters on January 23. One American spy was killed in the taking of the vessel and the remaining 82 crewmembers were taken prisoner and held for eleven months. The American spies were released by North Korea after the United States signed an admission of espionage and the prisoners were returned to US custody on December 28.

Laos - By 1968, the Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand became the command center of CIA operations in Laos. It was home to the CIA's Civil Air Transport (CAT, also known as "Air America") as well as the 4802nd Joint Liaison Detachment under Lloyd Landry. During 1968, the US averaged between 10 and 20 sorties over Laos a day.

Bolivia - A CIA organized military operation captured the legendary guerilla Che Guevara. The CIA sought to keep him alive for interrogation, but the Bolivian government executes him to prevent world wide calls for clemency.

El Salvador - CIA financed Gen. José Alberto Medrano organizes the Orden paramilitary force, the first of El Salvador's infamous right-wing death squads.

[b]1969[/b]

Vietnam - On may 10 through 20 we saw the bloody "Battle for Hamburger Hill" and on September 3, Ho Chi Minh died. In the United States, President Nixon announced the first withdrawals of US troops from Vietnam on June 8, and then reinstituted the draft lottery for the first time since 1942 on December 1.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Laos - As the "secret war" in Laos escalated, US air sorties over Laos began to average 300 a day in 1969.

[b]1970[/b]

Vietnam - On April 30, President Nixon addressed the United States on national television explaining the US and South Vietnamese forces were formally invading Cambodia, ostensibly to attack North Vietnamese supply lines.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Cambodia - The CIA overthrew the popular Prince Sahounek, who was viewed very positively by most Cambodians for keeping them out of the Vietnam war. He is replaced by CIA puppet Lon Nol who immediately throws Cambodian troops into battle. This unpopular move strengthens once minor opposition parties - like the Khmer Rouge which takes power in 1975 and massacres millions.

American Students - On May 4, National Guard troops opened fire at American students at Kent State University in Ohio. Four unarmed students were murdered outright, another was permanently paralyzed, and eight others were wounded by gunfire. Some of the victims were involved in an anti-war protest, but others were merely walking by the killing zone on their university campus.

Laos - The US "secret war" in Laos that began in 1965 continued unabated.

[b]1971[/b]

Vietnam - The American "Vietnam War", which began in earnest in 1965 continued until 1973. On the heels of the American-South Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in 1970, US and South Vietnamese forces invade Laos, again ostensibly in an effort to cut off North Vietnamese supply lines.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Laos - As the CIA's "secret war" in Laos continued, the last major offensives of the CIA backed Hmong rebels began in 1971. The Hmong were also supported by growing numbers of CIA armed, trained and paid Thai volunteer battalions.

Bolivia - The CIA backed a military coup against leftist President Juan Torres. He is replaced by the brutal dictator Hugo Banzer, who imprisoned over 2,000 political opponents without trial, allowed them to be tortured and raped and executed.

Native Americans - In 1971, US Coast Guard forces and federal law enforcement agencies forcibly removed activists of the American Indian Movement from Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. The island was originally seized by Indian activists in late 1969 to dramatize the continued refusal of the Federal government to honor its treaty obligations with various Indian peoples throughout the country. AIM began turning the island into a international Indian cultural center during the eighteen months that they held it.

[b]1972[/b]

Vietnam - The American "Vietnam War", which began in earnest in 1965 continued until 1973. On December 18 the US launched a major bombing campaign against North Vietnam indiscriminately exterminating thousands. Hanoi is virtually leveled.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Guatemala - By 1972 the death toll from the US backed Guatemalan military and US organized death squads was estimated at 13,000.

Laos - America's "secret war" in Laos that began in 1965 continued.

[b]1973[/b]

Vietnam - The American "Vietnam War", which began in earnest in 1965 continued until 1973. On January 23, the United States, South and North Vietnam sign the Paris Peace Accords which ended the United State's combat role in the war. On January 28, a cease-fire goes into effect allowing US troops to begin evacuating the country. On March 29, the last US combat troops evacuate Vietnam. Nevertheless, some US forces and intelligence operatives remain in the South until 1975. On April 1, the North Vietnamese released its acknowledged US prisoners of war.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994.

Chile - The CIA overthrew Latin America's first democratically elected socialist leader, Salvador Allende in Chile. This was sparked by Allende's nationalization of US corporate holdings in Chile. The CIA replaces Allende with General Augusto Pinochet, under whose dictatorship thousands of Chileans, especially labor leaders and members of the political Left, were tortured and killed by way of "disappearances". The CIA continued to aid Pinochet for years after his installation as dictator.

Uruguay - The US supports a military coup which resulted in a military government. The subsequent regime gains the distinction of having the highest percentage of the population imprisoned for political reasons.

Laos - The US "secret war" in Laos that began in 1965 continued until 1974.

Native Americans - In February, a group of tradionalist Lakota 'strong-hearted women', Lakota spiritual leaders and American Indian Movement activists converge on a site near the Wounded Knee Massacre (see 1890). Among the issues that motivated the protest were cheap land leases by the tribal government to non-Indians on the Pine Ridge Reservation, tribal chairman Dick Wilson's suspension of his own impeachment hearings, and police brutality on the reservation. They declared an independent Oglala Nation in opposition to the BIA-dominated Pine Ridge Reservation tribal council. They also call on the federal government to honor its treaty of 1868 (see that year) with the Lakota people by recognizing Indian sovereignty on the reservation and removing federal officials. Wounded Knee Village is quickly surrounded by Lakota tribal police, BIA police, federal marshals, tribal vigilantes and FBI snipers. These forces are supported by National Guard troops and hardware including armored personnel carriers and helicopter gunships. Native American activists from around the country began arriving to support "Wounded Knee II" and the tribal councils on the Crow and Northern Cheyenne reservations cancelled mining leases on their lands in support of the sovereignty claims made by the Pine Ridge traditionalists. Over the next 71 days, negotiations and sporadic small arms confrontations happened. The US Army recommended a full scale military assault while urging restraint from the civilian forces surrounding the activists. During the fire fights, several people are wounded on both sides and two Indians - Frank Clearwater (Cherokee) and Buddy Lamont (Oglala Lakota) were killed. The confrontation ends in May when federal negotiators agree to sit down and discuss US treaty obligations stemming from the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 with the Lakota.

[b]1974[/b]

Iraq - After the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) rejected a new Autonomy Law by Iraq regarding the Kurds in March 1974, the KDP launched an open revolt against Iraq, supported by Iran and the United States. This revolt continued until Algiers Accord of March 1975, after which the US and Iran withdrew its support for the KDP and the revolt collapsed.

Cyprus - The US and the US supported puppet military regime in Greece supported the 1974 coup against President Archbishop Makarios in Cyprus. Although the coup eventually failed, the US and Greece were the only ones to recognize the CIA employee Nicos Sampson as "president" of Cyprus. The coup also allowed the Turks to invade northern Cyprus, leading to a division that remains to this day.

Laos - The CIA's "secret war" in Laos that began in 1965 came to a close. The last CIA Civil Air Transport (CAT, "Air America") flight over Laos happened on June 3, 1974. All together 100 CAT personnel had died during the "secret war".

Vietnam - US intelligence operatives and special forces remained in South Vietnam until 1975.
The embargo imposed on North Vietnam by President Johnson continued until 1994

[b]1975[/b]

Australia - The CIA helps to topple the democratically elected, left-leaning government of Prime Minister Edward Whitlam. The CIA does this pushing the Governor-General to exercise his right to dissolve the Whitlam government. The Governor-General is a largely ceremonial position appointed by the Queen while the Prime Minister is democratically elected by the people. The use of this archaic and never used law stuns the nation.

Angola - In the aftermath of the collapse of the Portuguese colonial regime in Angola, fighting quickly developed among three main factions - the MPLA, led by Agostinho Neto; the FNLA, led by Holden Roberto; and then the UNITA led by Jonas Savimbi. Although there have been extensive changes of alignment since the start of the Angolan civil war, when the US entered it in 1975 America chose to support the FNLA against the then Soviet backed MPLA.The first large US arms shipments happened in July, 1975, and soon Americans were active in the area. US personnel began training FNLA troops, the CIA launched aerial operations from Zaire to drop supplies to the FNLA as well as to collect intelligence for them. The CIA also launched an major mercenary operation, costing some $1,000,000 employing American, British, Portuguese, and other mercenaries.
Over a hundred CIA officers and US military advisors entered the area around the same time. Much of their time was directed at propaganda work, where they limited access to Angola to the media and used their influence to launch a disinformation campaign about the situation in Angola through the South African media. UNITA also came to play a role in these CIA disinformation campaigns, especially a series of fabrications created by the CIA regarding mass rapes committed by Cuban advisors. The CIA also drafted a notorious "White Paper" for the FNLA that completely misrepresented the situation in support of the FNLA's attempts to gain United Nations favor.
In September, 1975, UNITA sent feelers to the MPLA for negotiating a truce, however, the CIA quickly put an end to this. When the MPLA appealed to the United States to stop funding the rebels and expressed their willingness to establish friendly relations with the US, the US listed its terms - namely, all Soviet influence was to end and the Angolans were to break off all ties with the USSR. The MPLA refused US demands.
The CIA also set up a secret arms network which circumvented the US State Department's embargo on the importation of weapons to Apartheid South Africa, in exchange for South African aid in moving US supplied equipment from Zaire to the FNLA/UNITA forces in Angola. This operation continued at least until 1978. South African troops also invaded Angola directly - with US approval - to attack the MPLA. It was this South African involvement that directly led to the influx of Cubans into Angola to help the MPLA.
This entirely pointless war ultimately results in the deaths of over 300,000 people and the complete destruction and impovishment of the country.

Iraq - After the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) rejected a new Autonomy Law by Iraq regarding the Kurds in March 1974, the KDP launched an open revolt against Iraq, supported by Iran and the United States. This revolt continued until Algiers Accord of March 1975, after which the US and Iran withdrew its support for the KDP and the revolt collapsed.

Vietnam - With the fall of Saigon and the reunification of Vietnam, the US Navy evacuated US personnel and South Vietnamese refugees (including war criminals). 1975 saw the last US combat deaths in Vietnam.
The US embargo against North Vietnam, originally imposed by President Johnson in 1964, was extended to all of Vietnam and remained in effect until 1994.

Cambodia - After the American merchant freighter, owned by the Sea-Land Corporation and transporting military equipment to Thailand, the Mayaguez, was captured by Khmer Rouge gunboats on May 12 and its 39 crewmembers were taken prisoner as spies, the US launched two days of intense attacks on the Khmer Rouge. The ship was successfully retaken by US Marines.

[b]1976[/b]

Angola - The military and financial aid supplied to the FNLA/UNITA rebels in Angola suffered a major blow when Congress cancelled all financing for operations in Angola in 1976. In the face of this loss of overt support, UNITA again tried to open negotiations with the MPLA, but the CIA again told UNITA to stop such moves.
Although direct US aid was now impossible, the CIA used its influence on Zaire, through its puppet dictator Mobutu, to have Zairian US trained and equiped troops enter Angola in support of the FNLA. Nevertheless, most of the civil war came to an end and the FNLA/UNITA, though they remained active, never again posed a significant threat to the MPLA government of Angola. See 1983.

Guatemala - By 1976 the death toll from the US backed Guatemalan military and the US organized death squads was estimated at 20,000. Under the Carter presidency, the US troops were withdrawn from Guatemala, as was much of the US military financing. However, most of this was replaced by a US brokered deal whereby the Guatemalan government continued receiving US financed military arms and equipment from Israel. And the US training of Guatemalan soldiers was moved to Chile and and Argentina.

Vietnam - The embargo against Vietnam, originally established against North Vietnam in 1964 and extended to all of Vietnam in 1975, continued until 1994.

Vietnam - The embargo against Vietnam, originally established against North Vietnam in 1964 and extended to all of Vietnam in 1975, continued until 1994

[b]1978[/b]

Ethiopia - With the eruption of the Ethiopian/Somali war, the US launched SR-71 "Blackbird" spy planes from Britain to spy on Soviet supported Ethiopia.

Poland - The US began SR-71 "Blackbird" spy missions over Poland until 1980.

[b]1979[/b]

Afghanistan - With the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the CIA began arming any and all factions willing to fight the Soviets. Most of the benefactors of US weaponry were Islamic fundamentalist mujahedin groups. Among those who received arms from the US was the Egyptian Sheikh Abdel Rahman who was implicated in the first World Trade Center bombing in New York. The CIA also financed a little known Sunni fundamentalist group called Al Qaeda who recruited Islamic extremists from around the world and employed them against the Soviets in Afghanistan. The CIA-backed Al Qaeda lost funding from the US after the Soviet withdrawal, and led by the now famous Osama Bin Laden, turned against the US 1991 with the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia for the Gulf War against Iraq. Al Qaeda and Bin Laden were responsible for the most devastating terrorist attacks in US history on September 11, 2001.

Nicaragua - In 1979 the US backed dictator Anastasios Samoza II falls and is replaced by the Marxist Sandinistas. The Sandinista regime becomes quite popular because of their commitment to land reform and anti-poverty programs. Samoza had a murderous personal army that he used as his own private secret police force in Nicaragua known as the National Guard. With the fall of the Samoza government, the surviving members of the National Guard became the Contra rebels, who fought a CIA armed and financed guerilla war against the Sandinistas throughout the 1980's.

Guatemala - By 1976 the death toll from the US backed Guatemalan military and the US organized death squads was estimated at 20,000. Under the Carter presidency, the US troops were withdrawn from Guatemala, as was much of the US military financing. However, most of this was replaced by a US brokered deal whereby the Guatemalan government continued receiving US financed military arms and equipment from Israel. And the US training of Guatemalan soldiers was moved to Chile and and Argentina.

South Yemen - The US launched SR-71 "Blackbird" spy planes to spy on South Yemen.

Poland - The US SR-71 "Blackbird" spy missions over Poland that began in 1978 continued until 1980.

[b]1980[/b]

El Salvador - After Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador appealed to President Carter to stop financing the brutal right-wing government "Christian to Christian", Salvadoran strongman Roberto D'Aubuisson has Romero shot to death while saying Mass. Soon thereafter the country dissolves into civil war. The CIA and the US military supply the military government with overwhelming military and intelligence superiority over the rebels who were mostly poor peasants. The CIA began training the right-wing Salvadoran death squads as well. By 1992 some 63,000 Salvadorans were killed in the fighting.

Cambodia - Following the Carter administration's lead, in 1980, Ray Cline, Deputy Director of the CIA and Reagan's senior foreign policy advisor, went to Cambodia and met with the Khmer Rouge to arrange an increase in US support for POl Pot against the Vietnamese backed government of Phnom Penh.

Honduras - The US begins basing Nicaraguan Contra terrorists in Honduras as well as using Honduran territory to support El Salvadoran right-wing death squads. In exchange, US military aid to Honduras is radically increased and death squads are established to eliminate Honduran dissidents.

[b]1981[/b]

Zambia - The Reagan administration, which openly supported Apartheid South Africa, was strongly opposed to Kaunda because of his strong opposition to Apartheid and his support for the African National Congress and SWAPO. In 1981, Zambian security forces stopped a plot by dissidents and "South African commandos" to assassinate President Kaunda and seize power. It was reported (Africa News, July 13, 1981) that the CIA had recruited Zambians in an effort to examine "the possibility of an alternative leadership in the country."

Nicaragua - In the continuing support for the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua against the Sandinistas that began in 1979, the CIA begins selling weapons to Iran, via Israel, and using the profits to finance the Contras. This later becomes known as the "Iran-Contra Affair". 1981 also saw the issuance of the Freedom Fighter's Manual by the CIA to Contra terrorists which includes instruction on economic sabotage, propaganda, extortion, bribery, blackmail, torture, murder, and political assassination. 1981 also saw the US applying pressure to the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to limit and reduce loans to Nicaragua as well as the imposition of a economic embargo.

Guatemala - By 1976 the death toll from the US backed Guatemalan military and the US organized death squads was estimated at 20,000. Under the Carter presidency, the US troops were withdrawn from Guatemala, as was much of the US military financing. However, most of this was replaced by a US brokered deal whereby the Guatemalan government continued receiving US financed military arms and equipment from Israel. And the US training of Guatemalan soldiers was moved to Chile and and Argentina.
After Reagan replaced Carter, direct US aid to the Guatemalan military in its genocide against its people resumed. Military aid was sent openly, while CIA trained bands of Cuban exiles resumed training of Guatemalan soldiers and death squad members. Training in torture and abduction was expanded to assassination and terrorism as well. US Special Forces "trainers" also returned to Guatemala. Guatemalan officers were again receiving training at the US "School of the Americas" as well.

El Salvador - US trained and armed Salvadoran soldiers carried out the El Mozote massacre in December. Between 700 to 1,000 peasants were brutally murdered and mutilated by twelve soldiers, ten of which learned torture techniques at the US "School of the Americas".

Panama - When Gen. Torrijos of Panama is killed in a plane crash, it is strongly suspected that the CIA might have been involved because of Gen. Torrijos' nationalism and friendly relations with Cuba. However, this charge is not substantiated to date.


[b]1982[/b]

Guatemala - General Efrain Rios Montt seized control of Guatemala with US support. After this coup, US arms shipments to Guatemala increased. Rios Montt immediately declared a state of emergency, doing away with any pretense to the rule of law. Within the first six months of his rule 2,600 Indians were massacred and during his 17 month administration he oversaw the complete destruction o

Cambodia - In order to help "rehibilitate" the image of Washington's allies, the Khmer Rouge, in their war against the Phnom Penh government of Cambodia, the US announced the creation of a new coalition of Cambodian rebel forces dominated by the Khmer Rouge. After the formation of this "coalition" Chinese aid to the rebels increased as did US aid, both official and unofficial.

Vietnam - The embargo against Vietnam, originally established against North Vietnam in 1964 and extended to all of Vietnam in 1975, continued until 1994.

[b]1983[/b]

Angola - Although the US backed revolt against the government of Angola largely came to an end in 1976, in 1983 the United States and the South Africans agreed on a new plan of action to destablize Angola - another example of Ronald Reagan reversing Carter's policy of limiting American imperialism and intervention. The plan involved unifying the anti-government forces, sabotaging Angola factories and the transportation, bringong pressure on Cuba to remove its troops, stopping foreign investments and a series of other measures.
Once knowledge of the joint US/Apartheid South Africa project became known, the US denied it, though UNITA simply refused to comment. By this time, the FNLA was defunct and the US solely supported UNITA. A month after the US/South African meeting, the United Nations censured South Africa for its involvement in Angola. The United States alone abstained. The US remained ineffectual until Reagan resumed full military aid to UNITA in 1985.

Grenada - 2,700 US troops were used to invade and occupy Grenada in order to remove a government deemed undesirable by the United States. The US occupation of this country remained until 1984.

Lebanon - The 1,200 US troops sent to Lebanon in 1982 remained in the country. On October 23, 1983 a successful Hizbollah truck bomb killed 241 US Marines of the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit and seriously damaged the US Marine barracks in Beirut, which led directly to the withdrawal of American troops in 1984. It is for this reason that the United States still considers Hizbollah a "terrorist organization" although Hizbollah has not engaged in terrorist activities since the 1980's, opting instead for legitimate armed resistance against Israeli military targets occupying Southern Lebanon, and continuing to this day in the Israeli occupied Shebaa Farms district. On December 4, 1983, US warplanes from the USS John F. Kennedy and the USS Independence launched vengence strikes at Lebanese positions.


[b]1984[/b]

Nicaragua - Congress stops all funding for the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua by the final Boland Amendment in 1984. However, CIA Director William Casey simply turns the operation over the Colonel Oliver North, who illegally continued supplying the Contra terrorists through the CIA's informal, secret, and self-financing network. This includes "humanitarian aid" donated by Adolph Coors and William Simon, and military aid funded by the Iranian arms sales.
1984 also saw the United States mine three Nicaraguan harbors. Nicaragua brought the issue before the World Court and won a $18 billion judgement against the United States for this act aggression. The US responded by refusing to recognize the Court's jurisdiction in the case.

Lebanon - After the successful native Lebanese attack on US forces in Beirut in October, 1983, the 1,200 US troops stationed in Lebanon since 1982 were withdrawn from the country in February 1984.

EL Salvador - The US spent $10,000,000 to orchestrate farcical elections in El Salvador. All the Left leaning parties and formation were banned and actively repressed while the Salvadoran military had already declared its complete refusal to answer to any civilian government.

Grenada - The US occupation of Grenada that began with the 1983 invasion finally ended in 1984.


[b]1985[/b]

Angola - In August 1985, Reagan finally won permission from Congress to resume full support to the UNITA terrorists in Angola. By 1987 this military aid included Stinger missiles. The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

Egypt - On October 10, US fighters from the USS Saratoga forced an Egyptian airliner to land in Italy on the premise that suspects from the Achille Lauro incident were aboard.

Lebanon - President Reagan ordered the CIA to launch a terrorist strike against Hizbollah's Sheikh Fadlallah in Lebanon. In the process, the CIA managed to kill 80 Lebanese by means a car bomb. However, the target, Sheikh Fadlallah was not aong those murdered. As a consequence, Preident Reagan cancelled the CIA's "license to assassinate" on April 10.

African Americans - Police and National Guard forces were used to attack to the MOVE activist community in Philadelphia on May 13. In the process, the various forces opted to aerial bomb the MOVE activists, destroying 60 homes and killing eleven people, including small children.


[b]1986[/b]

Libya - US forces attacked Libya twice in 1986, including the bombing of the cities of Tripoli and Benghazi.

Nicaragua - Nicaragua shoots down a US C-123 transport plane carrying weapons and military supplies to Contra terrorists. The lone survivor, Eugene Hasenfus, turns out to be CIA employee, as do the two dead pilots. The airplane belongs to a CIA front company, Southern Air Transport. The incident makes a mockery of President Reagan's claims that there was no illegal funding of the Contra terrorists by the United States.

Haiti - A popular revolt against "Baby Doc" Duvalier, results in his evacuation, by the United States, to southern France where he is to settle down to a comfortable retirement with millions of dollars he stole from Haiti. The CIA then begins working to install another right-wing dictator, but popular unrest against yet another US imposed dictator keeps the political situation unstable for the next four years. In an attempt to strengthen the military against the people, the CIA creates, trains and supplies the National Intelligence Service (SIN) which suppresses popular revolt and free expression by means of torture and assassination.

Angola - In August 1985, Reagan finally won permission from Congress to resume full support to the UNITA terrorists in Angola. By 1987 this military aid included Stinger missiles. The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

Iran - On October 19, US forces attacked and destroyed an Iranian oil platform in the Persian Gulf.

[b]1988[/b]

Iran - On July 3 the USS Vincennes, a US cruiser with the world's most advanced air defense / air tracking system (the Aegis System) invaded Iranian territorial waters and then shot down Iran Air Flight 655 to Dubai, killing 290 civilians. For their heroism in massacring 290 defenseless Iranian passagers, the entire crew of the USS Vincennes were awarded combat action ribbons and Commander Lustig, the air warfare coordinator, received the Navy's Commendation Medal for his "heroic achivement". Although the Navy claimed the attack was a "mistake" this was done tongue in cheek (as is clearly shown by the military decorations awarded to the killers) and then they repeatedly lied about the circumstances and tried to cover the affair up. The cover up was largely revealed through an independent Newsweek investigation and later admitted by the US Navy.

Honduras - In 1988, US troops entered Honduras to prevent Nicaraguan forces from making incursions into Honduras to combat US-supported Contra terrorists. This deployment successfully stopped Nicaraguan incursions into Honduras, thereby providing the Contra terrorists with a safe haven to launch their attacks into Nicaragua.
Although the Nicaraguan issue has been settled for years, US troops remain in Honduras to present. Today this consists of an infantry task force that works with the Honduran military.

Angola - In August 1985, Reagan finally won permission from Congress to resume full support to the UNITA terrorists in Angola. By 1987 this military aid included Stinger missiles. The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

[b]1989[/b]

Panama - The US invaded Panama, nominally to oust General Manuel Noreiga from power but also to enforce US interests regarding the canal which was scheduled to be returned to Panama in 1999. Noreiga was captured, given a show trial, and imprisoned for life in isolation in the United States. Official US casualties were 23 US troops killed in action but this is questioned because of the media blackout that was instituted during the invasion. General Manual Noreiga had been supported by the CIA since 1966 and his drug smuggling was known to the CIA from 1972. However, his growing independence and instransigence resulted in Washington turning against him.

Angola - In August 1985, Reagan finally won permission from Congress to resume full support to the UNITA terrorists in Angola. By 1987 this military aid included Stinger missiles. The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

Libya - On January 4, US fighters from the USS John F. Kennedy shot down two Libyan MiG fighters, although they were not under attack.

El Salvador - 26 US trained and armed Salvadoran soldiers killed and mutilated eight people, including six Jesuit priests in November. The UN Truth Commission investigating the massacre confirmed that 19 of the 26 soldiers involved were trained in torture by the US "School of the Americas".

[b]1990[/b]

Haiti - Competing against ten relatively wealthy candidates, leftist priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide won the elections with 68% of the national vote. However, after only eight months in power, the CIA-backed military deposed him. As more military strongmen begin crushing the Haitian people, Haitian refugees began escaping trying to make it to the United States on barely seaworthy rafts. As popular opinion calls for Aristide's return, the CIA begins a disinformation campaign painting the courageous priest as being mentally unstable. As for General Prosper Anvil, one of the military dictators who enjoyed mutilating his opposition and then showing the results of his work on Haitian televiaion, after being forced out in 1990, the US government evacuated him from Haiti and allowed him to retire with as much loot as could bring with him to a comfortable retirement in Florida.

Iraq - The "Maritime Interception Operations" is the official name for the naval force that enforces the naval blockade on Iraq. This naval blockade was first instituted in August 1990 and remains in effect to the present.

Bulgaria - The US "National Endowment for Democracy" (NED), an intelligence outfit meant to encourage US puppet regimes began pouring in money, more than $2,000,000, to influence Bulgaria's first democratic elections in forty-five years. All US financing went to America-friendly anti-Communist factions. This was all done overtly, even the US ambassador openly endorsed the "Union of Democratic Forces" or UDF on election day. At the same time, the State Department publicly criticized the Socialist Party.
European observers monitored the elections and certified their legitimacy. After the first round, the Socialist Party (which successfully capitalized on the economic collapse of Russia, to endorse slow transition as opposed to repeating the mistakes in Russia) won. The US backed opposition took to the streets claiming fraud, though the EU observers stood by their observations that the elections were completely free and open.
The US financed UDF, as well as the US NED financed Federation of Independent Student Associations began a series of daily protests. The European observers noted that these were just "sour grapes" - turning against democracy when it didn't lead to the result they wanted. In the face of the Socialist Party's initial victory, the US NED began providing even more equipment and financing to the student protesters and the UDF - including fax machines, video equipment, loudspeakers, printing equipment, Polish electral advisors, American legal advisors and other experts. The US financed war against democracy in Bulgaria scored a significant victory when it forced Socialist President Mladenov to resign. The next victim of the US war against democracy in Bulgaria was Interior Minister Smerdjiev. Finally on August 1, the US financed agitator Zhelyu Zhelev, leader of the UDF was elected President of Bulgaria.
The US financed rebels later burned and looted Socialist Party headquarters. Next the American right-wing Free Congress Foundation (a radical right-wing Christian ideological organization with extensive funding - with established Nazi credentials via Laszlo Pasztor) began advising the Bulgarian right-wing on electoral and political methods and tactics of shaping public policy. The US Chamber of Commerce also drew up comprehensive plans to radically alter Bulgaria into a supply-side free-market economy. The US backed opposition continued to disrupt the entire country. The opposition leaders were quite candid about the US support they received to coerce the democratic government into meeting its demands.
The US backed efforts against the democratic will of the Bulgarian people resulted in political and economic chaos ever since. The US still provides support for the opposition, but many opposition leaders will no longer accept it. The US is now viewed negatively by virtually everyone in Bulgaria except the business class - both socialists and opposition.

Angola - In August 1985, Reagan finally won permission from Congress to resume full support to the UNITA terrorists in Angola. By 1987 this military aid included Stinger missiles. The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

[b]1991[/b]

Iraq - After the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, the US formed a massive international coalition against Iraq and engaged in "Operation Desert Storm" to oust the Iraqis from Kuwait. Although the operation was nominally international, it was spearheaded by the United States who utilized some 500,000 US troops. "Operation Desert Storm" lasted for 43 days and included 109,876 aerial sorties against Iraq and dropped some 60,624 tons of explosives on Iraq. The succeeding ground war, "Operation Desert Sabre", took all of 100 hours. On February 28, George Bush declared the cease-fire that brought the Gulf War to an end. Official US casualties were 235 noncombatants, 148 soldiers killed in action, 29 taken prisoner, and 20 missing in action, but these numbers are contested. However, hostilities continued. On March 20, the US shot down an Iraqi SU-22. On March 22, the US shot down another Iraqi SU-22.
During "Desert Storm", the US destroyed between ten to twenty thousand civilian homes. The Jordanian Red Crescent estimated 113,000 Iraqis were killed, mostly civilians either as the direct result of US bombing or as the indirect result of US bombing of civilian facilities required for life - water facilities, hospitals, food stores, electricity, &c. The US also killed some 100,000 Iraqi military personnel, at a cost of 148 Americans, primarily through aerial bombing. Attacks on civilian industrial concerns also resulted in massive environmental contamination.

Iraqi Kurdistan - "Operation Provide Comfort I" was a humanitarian mission involving providing food, shelter, and other necessitites to internally displaced Kurds in northern Iraq. However, "Operation Provide Comfort II" that began in 1991 and lasted until 1996, was a military operation meant to create and enforce the autonomous Kurdish zone in northern Iraq. This second operation began on July 24, 1991.

Iraq - The "Maritime Interception Operations" is the official name for the naval force that enforces the naval blockade on Iraq. This naval blockade was first instituted in August 1990 and remains in effect to the present.


[b]1992[/b]

African Americans - After the acquittal of four white police officers in the Rodney King case, rioting erupts in Los Angeles on April 29. 55 people are killed, some 3,000 wounded and about 12,000 arrested. Property damage is estimated at one billion dollars. Thousands of local and state police and California National Guard troops are sent in. As the riots continue, 5,000 federal troops are also called in under the joint command of General Marvin L. Covault, largely comprised of US Army infantrymen and US Marines.

Iraq - A CIA supported coup by the Free Iraq Council failed and Iraqi government forces successfully purged the CIA backed terrorists. Led by Sa‘d Salih Jabr, a US citizen and resident of London, Jabr blamed the collapse of his coup on the US who he believes leaked information to other Iraqi opposition groups, most of which are heavily infiltrated with Hussein loyalists. While Warren Christopher denied that the US intentionally leaked information directly to Saddam Hussein, information passed along to the US created Iraqi National Congress had the same ultimate effect.

Southern Iraq - On August 26, 1992, President George Bush imposed the illegal "Southern No Fly Zone" on southern Iraq. To enforce this non-UN approved punitive measure, he also announced the start of "Operation Southern Watch". It has been in effect on southern Iraq ever since. The operation was initiated with the shooting down of an Iraqi MiG fighter on December 27, 1992

Iraq - The "Maritime Interception Operations" is the official name for the naval force that enforces the naval blockade on Iraq. This naval blockade was first instituted in August 1990 and remains in effect to the present.

Somalia - US troops begin "Operation Restore Hope" in Somalia, which lasted until 1994. By the end of the operation 30,000 US troops were deployed in Somalia.

Angola - In August 1985, Reagan finally won permission from Congress to resume full support to the UNITA terrorists in Angola. By 1987 this military aid included Stinger missiles. The CIA began training and supporting UNITA through South Africa as well as through front organizations previously used to support the Contra terrorists in Nicaragua. In 1991 UNITA and the government achieved a cease-fire, but in 1992 once it became clear that the MPLA would win UN certified free elections, UNITA resumed the war, again with US and South African support. In 1993 the US finally recognized the Angolan government and the Clinton administration ended aid to UNITA.

[b]1993[/b]

Somalia - US troops sent to Somalia in 1992 remained and expanded "Operation Restore Hope" into "Operation Continue Hope" and "Operation Task Force Ranger". US troops began a campaign against Somali leader Mohommad Farah Aidid. In the process, a US Blackhawk helicopter was downed in Mogadishu on October 3. The US relief force sent in to rescue the captured Americans failed and found themselves in a seventeen hour fire fight. US Army pilot Michael Durant was captured. The US sent in an additional 15,000 troops who were quickly removed with the release of Durant. The American military blamed its dismal failure on being part of a multinational force as a means supporting US unilateralism. The incident was later the subject of an Islamaphobic Hollywood propaganda film entitled "Blackhawk Down" which glorified the US failure in Somalia and went to great pains to dehumanize and vilify Muslims and people of color. Official US casualties during these expanded operations in Somalia were 14 noncombat deaths, 29 killed in action, 84 wounded, six taken prisoner, and two missing in action, but these numbers are contested.

Iraq - On January 13 over 100 US, British, and French warplanes launched an air assault on Iraqi targets in the illegally imposed "southern no fly zone". Strikes were made near Nasiriya, Samawa, Najaf and Al Amara and less than half the intended targets (Iraqi surface-to-air missile sites) were hit. The mission was described as more of political operation than a military one - a punitive raid. On January 17, the US launched 46 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Baghdad, destroying eight buildings allegedly related to Iraq's nuclear program as well as the Al Rasheed Hotel where a number of defenseless civilians were killed. On June 26, US forces launched twenty-three cruise missiles at the Iraqi Intelligence Service's (IIS) headquarters in Baghdad. Between three to seven of these cruise missiles landed in residential neighborhoods in Baghdad killing a number of Iraqi civilians.

Iraqi Kurdistan - In the north, as part of "Operation Provide Comfort II" (1991-1996) in Iraqi Kurdistan -
01/17/93 US forces attacked an Iraqi air defense site and shot down an Iraqi MiG fighter.
01/18/93 US forces then attacked another Iraqi air defense site and dropped cluster bombs on Bashiqah airfield.
01/19/93 US forces attacked an Iraqi radar station and then dropped cluster bombs on an Iraqi air defense site.
01/21/93 US forces attacked another Iraqi air defense site.
01/22/93 US forces attacked an Iraqi radar site
04/18/93 US forces attacked another Iraqi radar site
08/19/93 US forces attack an Iraqi missile site with cluster bombs

Southern Iraq - As part of "Operation Southern Watch" (1992-present), enforcing the illegal "Southern No Fly Zone" -
01/23/93 US forces attacked thirty-two Iraqi positions
06/29/93 US forces attack an Iraqi radar station

Iraq - The "Maritime Interception Operations" is the official name for the naval force that enforces the naval blockade on Iraq. This naval blockade was first instituted in August 1990 and remains in effect to the present.

[b]1994[/b]

Haiti - US forces invaded Haiti in order to restore ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and to remove the government that had replaced him. On September 19, 1994, the US spearheaded "Operation Uphold Democracy", with the approval of the United Nations Security Council. 3,900 US paratroopers were in the air, preparing to invade Haiti, when the Haitian military voluntarily consented to allow the US forces to land peacefully. The airborne troops were returned and US troops entered the country without resistance. The operation initially employed some 20,000 US troops. US special forces were used to take over much of the rural areas. On March 31, 1995, the US transferred responsibilities over Haiti to the United Nations.

Bosnia-Herzegovina - "Operation Deny Flight" enforced a UN imposed "No Fly Zone" over Bosnia. The operation began on April 14, 1993. But no offensive action was taken except in 1994.
02/28/94 NATO forces shot down four Serbian aircraft over Bosnia.
08/05/94 NATO forces attacked Bosnian Serb targets near Sarajevo.
09/22/94 NATO forces attacked a Serbian tank on request from the United Nations.
11/21/94 NATO forces attacked Udbina airfield in Serb-held Croatia.
11/23/94 NATO forces attacked a Serbian missile site south of Otoka.
The operation terminated on December 20, 1995.

Iraq - Starting in 1994, the US backed Iraqi National Accord (INA, al-Wifaq), began launching terrorist attacks throughout Iraq, including attacks on a Baghdad cinema, newspaper offices, sporadic car bomb attacks, and others, largely focused on civilian targets to "destabilize" Hussein's regime through terror. This is the CIA preferred Iraqi terrorist group as it is led by Iraqi military officers seeking to merely replace Hussein with a new military dictator, unlike the more troublesome Iraqi National Congress (see 1995) which seeks democracy. The group was originally founded by Saudis and the British MI6 although the CIA has been involved from the start. After Saddam successfully crushed a INA-CIA coup in 1996, the organization has become primarily an American asset, based in Jordan. After the 1996 failure, the INA lost most of its operatives in Iraq, but has maintained its terror operations, largely directed against rival Iraqi opposition groups, even ones also backed by the United States.

Cuban emigrants - In 1994, some 8,600 Cuban defectors at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were transported to "Safe Haven" camps in Panama for a six month stay pending acceptance into other countries. The United States accepted 1,280 of the defectors, Spain took 110, and Venezuela took 10. However, the remainder in the camps in Panama became restless after it became clear that they would not be admitted anywhere and would be returned to Guantanamo. This tension culminated in riots in the "Safe Haven" camps on December 7-8, 1994. US troops quickly suppressed the riots, although two Cubans were killed trying to escape and 30 were injured. There was also considerable property damage. As the defectors expected, in 1995 they were returned to military controlled camps at Guantanamo.

North Korea - As tensions over North Korea's nuclear program increased, the situation was made worse when a US military helicopter invaded North Korean airspace and was shot down. One American was killed and the other was released only after the US apologized for the incursion. Following this offensive action by the US and the North Korean defensive reaction in December of 1993, the US began deploying more forces (above and beyond the US forces stationed in Korea since the Korean war) to South Korea. North Korea made it clear that if sanctions were placed on it, they would consider it an act of war. Fearing Chinese intervention, the United States decided not to push the North Koreans.
The crisis was finally resolved when the North Koreans agreed to accept US made reactors and fuel for its nuclear program that could not be used to create nuclear weapons. George Bush Jr. later ruined this agreement by refusing to uphold America's side of the bargain (supplying North Korea with fuel that could not be used to make nuclear weapons) thereby sparking the ongoing North Korean crisis in 2003.

Somalia - After the dismal failures of the US forces in Somalia of 1993, US troops began withdrawing from Somalia. By the end of 1994 all US forces were out of Somalia and US "Operation Restore Hope" came to an end.

Iraq - After Iraqi ground troops began to move toward Kuwait, "Operation Vigilant Warrior" was launched in October involving a major buildup of US forces in the region. The Iraqi forces backed off and the crisis died away without any violence.

Iraq - The "Maritime Interception Operations" is the official name for the naval force that enforces the naval blockade on Iraq. This naval blockade was first instituted in August 1990 and remains in effect to the present.

[b]1995[/b]

Bosnian Serbs - "Operation Deliberate Force" was a UN authorized strike against Bosnian Serbs that began on August 30, 1995. 3515 sorties were flown and 1,026 bombs were dropped. 65.9% of all operations were conducted by US forces. The bombings stopped on September 14.

Iraq - The US founded, supported, and financed Iraqi National Congress (INC, al-Mu‘tamar al-Watani al-Iraqi) attempted to launch a limited offensive against the Iraqi government to overthrow Saddam Hussein. However, largely convinced by the Iraqi National Accord, the United States withdrew its support and denied the previously promised air cover for the INC offensive. Soon thereafter, the INC divided into factions some of which, especially among the Kurdish groups, began fighting one another. This US betrayal led to a deep resentment among the various INC factions against the United States. however, even to present, 2003, the INC and several of its factions receive US funding and other assistance. It has been repeatedly suggested that aspects of the INC will be used to form the core of any US imposed puppet regime. Nevertheless, since the betrayal of 1995 the INC remains fractured and divided.

Iraq - After Iraqi forces moved toward Kuwait, the US launched "Operation Vigilant Warrior II" which involved another significant build up of US forces in the region. However, the Iraqi forces withdrew and the crisis died away without violence.

Haiti - US forces remaining from the 1994 invasion of Haiti began to withdraw when command of the occupation of Haiti was taken over by the United Nations in March of 1995.

[b]1996[/b]

Iraq - After Iraqi forces were invited into the northern "Kurdish autonomous zone" (UNSC Res. 688) by a Kurdish faction (KDP), on August 31 the Iraqis successfully took the town of Irbil from a different Kurdish faction (the PUK). In response, "Operation Desert Strike" was initiated on September 3. At least 27 cruise missiles were launched into Iraq. On September 4, another 17 cruise missiles were lobbed into Iraq. The illegally imposed "no-fly zones" were expanded from the 32nd parallel north to the 33rd parallel. On December 31, "Operation Provide Comfort II" (1991-1996) ended and was replaced with "Operation Northern Watch", enforcing the illegally imposed northern "no-fly zone" as well as Kurdish autonomous zone.

Southern Iraq - As part of "Operation Southern Watch" (1992-present), enforcing the illegal "Southern No Fly Zone" -
08/04/96 US forces attacked an Iraqi radar station
11/02/96 US forces attacked another Iraqi radar site
11/04/96 US forces attacked yet another Iraqi radar site

Iraq - The "Maritime Interception Operations" is the official name for the naval force that enforces the naval blockade on Iraq. This naval blockade was first instituted in August 1990 and remains in effect to the present.

Zaire - From 1965 to 1991, Zaire received massive US economic and military assistance. In return US multinational corporations were given unfettered access to Zaire's fabulous mineral wealth. Zaire also served as a bastion of anti-Communism in the Cold War, upholding American interests. Although Mobutu was a brutal right-wing dictator, as he served US interests, he was never condemned by the United States. It was only later, once Mobutu began stealing Western owned assets in Zaire that the US turned against him.
Paul Kagame, a Rwandian exile serving as a colonel in the Ugandian army, was trained by the United States at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KS. Later Kagame took command of a rebel army that invaded Rwanda. The militarily supported Kagame's army in Rwanda and US Army Special Forces trained hundreds of Kagame's troops.
In August 1996, Paul Kagame of Rwanda, visited Washington to discuss the threat that the Rwandain Hutu refugees in eastern Zaire posed to his regime in Rwanda. Immediately afterward, Kagame and Kabila invaded Zaire (in October) and eastern Zaire was quickly taken. The Hutu refugees were attacked were either driven away or killed. In defense of Kagame, the US ambassador to Rwanda, Robert Gribbin, at first denied that Rwandan troops were involved in Kabila's invasion. But Dan Simpson, US envoy to Mobutu's Zaire spoiled this lie when he announced that Rwandan troops were involved in the invasion.
US involvement is unquestionable. The US embassy in Burundi was actively involved in supplying Kabila's rebel forces with arms from South Africa. Later, the State Department sent Dennis Hankins to Goma, the capital of Kabila's rebel forces, to serve US representation to the rebel alliance. This was followed up by a US House resolution calling on Mobutu to step down in Zaire.

China - After a period of escalating tensions between China and the US supported rebel province of Taiwan, in March, China began a series of missile tests extremely close to Taiwan's major ports of Keelung and Kaohsiun. These tests led to a de facto disruption of trade as some 70% of Taiwan's trade comes through these two ports. In response, the United States deployed a strong naval force to Taiwan to show China that the United States still fully backed the Chinese rebels there. After a little sabre-rattling on both sides, the Chinese stopped harassing Taiwan and tensions died down.

[b]1997[/b]

Bosnia-Herzegovina - "Operation Deliberate Guard" was a primarily US aerial operation that attacked air defense facilities and engaged in electronic warfare against the Bosnian Serbs. The operation also collected intelligence. This operation was in support of the United Nations SFOR forces in Bosnia.

Cuba - US financed and supported Cuban terrorist emigres based in Miami, Florida initiated a bombing campaign of Havanna hotels.

Iraq - The US launched "Operation Phoenix Scorpion I" in November. This operation involved a large deployment of US air forces to Iraq as a means of intimidation, although no strikes were actually made.

Congo - After the successful US backed invasion of Zaire (see 1996), relations between the victorious Kabila and Rwandans / Americans began collapse. [Zaire was renamed Congo with the removal of Mobutu] Much of Kabila's new administration, especially among the military and security forces were former Rwandan officials and played an active role in the massacres of Hutu refugees (James Kabarebe, Jackson Nzinza, Bizima Karaha, &c.). As Kabila's regime took shape and the massacres of Hutus continued unabated, the United States gradually turned against the new Congolese regime.
This situation worsened with the arrival of Kabila's foreign minister, Bizima Karaha, in Washington in 1997. Karaha made a very poor impression on the Clinton administration and openly challenged the Clinton administration's on constructing a puppet government suitable to the United States. As US pressure against Kabila mounted, especially making capital out of the massacres of Hutus in Kabila's invasion, Kabila turned the tables, accusing the United States of complicity as well, pointing out US aid to the Rwandan army, that was chiefly responsible. Scott Campbell's Washington Post investigation in 1997 confirmed these charges, detailing US training and financing of the Rwandan military and their role in the systematic massacres in the Hutu refugee camps in Congo.

Qatar - "Operation Silent Assurance", involved US Marines and naval forces being sent to Qatar to engage in police/security work in anticipation of the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) Economic Conference.

Sudan - In "Operation Infinite Reach" on August 20, President Clinton launched a cruise missile attack against a civilian pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum on the spurious charge that it was involved in the production of nerve gas. Later it was confirmed that not only was the facility not used for making chemical weapons, it was even contracted to the United Nations. This attack was a "knee jerk" reaction to the Al Qaeda bombings of US embassies in Africa.

Afghanistan - In "Operation Infinite Reach", on August 20, President Clinton launched some 75 cruise missiles at a couple small villages in Afghanistan, massacring a number of civilians. This attack was a "knee jerk" reaction to the Al Qaeda bombings of US embassies in Africa.

Iraq - "Operation Desert Thunder" was launched when some ten countries, led by the United States deployed an additional 9,000 troops to the region. The show of strength was enough to force Saddam Hussein to comply with the illegally imposed "no-fly zones". No force was used, just intimidation. However, on December 16, the US launched "Operation Desert Fox". "Desert Fox" lasted four days and involved large numbers of cruise missiles being fired into Iraqi urban areas and military installations. "Operation Shining Presence" involved US troop deployments to Israel to compliment Israeli forces on the threat that Iraq might launch attacks on Israel in response to the "Operation Desert Fox" massacre of Iraqis. "Operation Phoenix Scorpion II" in February was part of "Operation Desert Thunder" and involved a large deployment of US forces to Iraq. Operations Phoenix Scorpion III and IV (November and December) involved more US forces being sent to the Gulf in preparation for "Operation Desert Fox".

Iraqi Kurdistan - As part of "Operation Northern Watch" US forces attacked an Iraqi missile site that had fired at the US planes on December 28.

Southern Iraq - As part of "Operation Southern Watch" (1992-present), enforcing the illegal "Southern No Fly Zone" -
12/30/98 US forces attacked at least three Iraqi sites

Colombia - The Clinton administration initiated "Plan Colombia", which involves sending over a $1,000,000,000 in military equipment and training to Colombia. At least 400 US military trainers are active in Colombia, as well as American troops, Department of Defense civilian operatives, and a hundreds of contractors - many of which spray herbicide over vast swathes of Colombia. Although the operation is justified as an anti-drug action, the US is also involved in activity against popular rebels in the country.
Another concern, that has risen to the surface especially since the election of Bush Jr. is oil. Bush's 2002 budget included $98 million for security of the Cano-Limon-Covenas pipeline. This 700 kilometer pipeline connects an oilfield in northeastern Colombia operated by the American Occidental Petroleum Corporation to a port on the Caribbean.
In March 2002, Bush revealed plans to expand US military operations in Colombia, including the sending of more troops. This initiative was shared by Colombian strongman Uribe, who has expanded military spending, expanded police forces, and established a citizen informer network (akin to the East German "Stazi", and Ashcroft's "TIPS"). In September 2002, Uribe instituted a state of emergency, thereby legally disposing of all civil liberties and human rights in Colombia, with George Bush's blessing.
"Plan Colombia" is also reinforced by "Operation Selva Verde" between the US Drug Enforcement Agency and the Colombian National Police, which has been underway since 1995.

Congo - As US hostility against Kabila's regime in Congo increased, in 1998 Kabila ordered all US supported Rwandan forces out of Congo. As they left, they looted much of the country, including the national treasury. On August 2, Rwanda and Uganda invaded Congo. However, the OAU intervened against this US supported invasion and soon Zimbabwean, Angolan, and Namibian troops entered Congo to assist Kabila against the Rwandan-Ugandan invasion. By the end of August, the invaders had been pushed back to eastern Congo.
After the failure of the Rwandan-Ugandan invasion (although they still control much of eastern Congo, where they are busy exploiting Congo's mineral wealth) the US began to broker a cease-fire. However, they chose President Chiluba of Zambia as their mediator. Chiluba has a long record of serving as a US puppet, actively supporting the US backed UNITA rebels in Angola and profitting heavily from UNITA's illegal diamond trade. Soon thereafter, UNITA forces also became involved in Zaire. UNITA forces met with Kagame, and UNITA formed a de facto alliance with the Rwandians against Congo.

Pakistan - During the cruise missile attacks on Afghanistan, at least one US missile landed in Pakistan

Yugoslavia - "Operation Allied Force" was an overtly illegal NATO action in Kosovo once Russia made it clear that it intended to use its Security Council veto to protect Yugoslavia in exact imitation of the way the United States uses its veto to protect Israel from international law. The United States opted for total illegality, but lent this action a small degree of multilateralism by acting through NATO as opposed to completely unilaterally. "Operation Noble Anvil" was the US contingent of the NATO aggression. On March 24, 1999 the illegal attack on Yugoslavia began.
The Yugoslav refusal to leave its own territory (the province of Kosovo) resulted in NATO escalating airstrikes on April 23 and intentionally hitting civilian targets as a means of terrorizing the Serbian people and destroying Yugoslavia's economy. After the escalation very few military targets were hit, instead, NATO deliberately attacked civilian targets and sought to justify this by expressing their desire to provoke the Serbian people into opposition to their own government. Among the targets hit were more than twenty hospitals and medical facilities, major utilities (leaving 70% of Yugoslavs without electricity, 500,000 without water, and a similar number without heat), more than forty churches and religious centers, and a broad array of industrial targets, business centers, and government offices. Other industrial targets were chosen for the environmental damage they would cause, leading to the greatest deliberate environmental contamination in human history. US forces also repeatedly attacked ambulances, international aid convoys and refugee columns. Aside from these intentional atrocities, a large number of accidental strikes also happened.
The illegal aggression against Yugoslavia finally stopped on June 10. Over all NATO, led by the United States killed more than 2,000 Yugoslavs, almost all of which were civilians.
The CIA was also authorized, in May, by the Clinton administration to launch destabilization operations inside Yugoslavia to help bring down the Milosevic government.

Afghanistan - Military aspects of Bush's "War on Terrorism" began with the attack on Afghanistan. Aerial assault and cruise missile attacks began on October 7, and US Special Forces entered the country on October 19, which began "Operation Enduring Freedom". The goals were to pursue Al Qaeda and break their infrastructure in the country as well as to overthrow the previously US supported Taliban regime and install a puppet regime to serve US interests. The military attacks on Afghanistan were accompanied by a massive propaganda campaign as well as the utilization of various factions of the Islamic fundamentalist "Northern Alliance" warlords to serve as cannon fodder to take the brunt of the Taliban resistance. Seventy eight days after the start of the US attack, on December 22, the Western appointed (Bonn Conference) puppet regime of Karzai was installed in Kabul. US troops remain in Afghanistan to the present.

United States - In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, President Bush called up US Reserve and National Guard forces for "Operation Noble Eagle". This operation primarily involves military flights across the United States. Roughly 35,000 Reservists and National Guard soldiers have been called up. The operation included military "homeland defense" flights over the United States, 13,000 of which were carried out by the start of 2002 at a cost of some $325,000,000. The operation also includes keeping more than 100 fighters at 26 different airbases around the country ready for immediate action for "homeland defense."

Yemen - On November 3, the CIA launches a missile attack into Yemen in an attempt to murder an alleged Al Qaeda operative. The target was one Ali Qaed Sinan al-Harthi, suspected Al Qaeda leader in Yemen, although no evidence has been made public and he presented no immediate threat preventing arrest and trial as opposed to murder. Five others were also killed in the attack, including Kamal Derwish, 29, a US citizen and son of a New Jersey steelworker. The incident goes to show that Bush has absolutely no qualms whatsoever about killing US citizens, without charge, trial, or recourse if they associate with someone he personally doesn't like. A fair enough warning to anyone who isn't a White Evangelical Christian Republican, that is, most Americans.

Afghanistan - "Operation Enduring Freedom", which began in 2001 continued throughout 2002 and on to the present. By mid-March the Al Qaeda network in Afghanistan was completely destroyed as was the Taliban regime, with resistance continuing only in small isolated pockets.

Sounds like the Marxism that Stalin & Hitler used to destroy the world....the ends justifies the means....so for Washington DC's armies to use Satan to win, biblically translated would mean that they in turn.....work for Satan. Stop being deceived....the Bible clearly states that in the end, the antichrist will disguise himself as good & good people do his bidding & will be slaughtered in the end. Christianity only supports "JUST WAR", meaning you fight to defend your homes or rise up against tyranny. The the 1st American Revolution & the 2nd (Civil War), which the side of Evil obviously won.

Great inscription, thought it was very funny. What is the big deal. Only deeply reglious nuts would be offended

Why do you idiots modify pictures and post them are you all fucking stupid. Of course Bush is the Anti-Christ and Saddam is the second coming of Christ. Long live Saddam and may he rule all of you stupid motherfuckers in the future. For you will surley serve him in hell.

Stop Calling Bush a redneck...that's only a cover. He is Northeast, Ivy League, Skull & Bones, Anglo-Zionist & inbred evil....Rednecks have alot more common sense & patriotism than this phony Texan. If most Rednecks knew what Bush was really about, he'd be strung up!!!

These evil, blood thirsty, pedofile, canabilistic, MIND CONTROLLING, racist murdering reptiles want to bring hell to planet earth. The present is proof that AMERIKA WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE DEMOCRATIC, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A WAR MONEY MACHINE WAR. A sick and evil experiment, made wealthy from slavery and racisim. Now they flaunt it with the bogus "war" attack on another frankenstein they've created.
The shit will continue until those living their lilly white, stepford lives, smell their own stupid hateful evil shit! What's happening now is just a confirmation that this agenda has been in the making for decades. The real victims, aside from those innocents in Iraq, are the troops, who upon returning (if not in body bags), will be fucked up by depleted uranium and other misc. shit the military is using. They will then discover that there will be minimal health care and finances to assist them. There are thousands of disabled vets from Bush War I, Bush War II will be far worse. Bush II, led by the psycho son will fuck this country up for decades. This "war/feeding" agenda will bankrupt the countries minimal reserves. We need to focus on the media and the crooks who unfortunately are supposed to represent us. They need to know that a RESTRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT WILL BE DEMANDED BY THE PEOPLE. I pity the fool whom has to pick up the piles of shit GW (Got War?) Bush is leaving. These pimps are creating the worse financial disaster in our nations history. We must stop this now before they start to lock up the innocents.

Hey FED THE FUCK UP, time for medication you nut bag... be honest, your insane.

Here is a clip from the LA times, many of the republicans are homos and like young boys.

Here's what Nixon had to say about the Bohemian Grove.

http://www.ocweekly.com/ink/00/11/news-nixon.php
From 1971 until 1973, President Richard M. Nixon recorded everything that was said in his White House Oval Office, eventually filling more than 3,000 hours of tape.

SUBJECT
San Francisco

NIXON SAYS

"But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time . . . It is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco."

The majority of Bonesmen in politics today are Democrats, my friends. Take John Kerry and John Hersey, to name a few. Keep in mind that Bonesmen are coming out of Yale here, so most will be less than friendly to conservatism.

You sure talk like a wall street lawyer.
After reading several of your posts I've
decided that everything you say is unsubstantiated
double speak. Some of your absurd comments are
downright funny.
But don’t tet me stop you.

Wow that is shocking?

Unless you have heard of Bush Sr. and Clinton's Drug smuggling. Where do you think that Iran/Contra Drug smuggling operation was?

Before you say this can't be true, check out the main stream news reports from that time in the movie..

The Mena Connection

An insiders documentary of the Real Mena, Arkansas story of Guns, Drugs, Money, CIA, the Contra and of course Governer and President Clinton.

This revealing documentary contains rare and unauthorized footage of the c-123 code-named "The Fat Lady" - the plane that nearly brought down the Reagan/Bush Administration when it was shot down in Nicaragua loaded with guns while piloted by an ex-Air America crew. Hear her astonishing life story. For the first time ever, the Fat Lady sings...

The Mena Connection takes you into the dark history of the CIA's covert operations in Arkanasas - back to a time which a young Governor, desperate to build a power base from which to launch a bid for the Presidency, made a pact with the real power brokers behind America's secret government. All in the name of national security, Bill Clinton 'rented' his state to the CIA for covert arms manufacturing and shipment - at a time in which congress had banned support for the Nicaraguan Contras. This illegal activity led to the subversion of our judicial system, which then allowed drugs and drug profits to freely flow through America's heartland.

Released in 1995.

Fuck off, you religious nut.

I'm a useful idiot with an ususually small penis. I will mock you all into submission.

Wow! You know how to copy and paste the same message over and over on multiple threads? I was never able to master that. It is beyond my mental capablilities. Wait a second. I'll get my third grade buddy to show me how. After that, I'll screw his tight little butthole.

If you don't think TVI (The Village Idiot from Texas) George Bush hasn't already got the next election all locked up with fraud then you are dreaming. Hell he is likely to declare himself president for life and not have any elections and you gutless misguided Americans will just sit there and let him. Why do you think thereare over 800 concentration camps built all over the US and masses of NATO troops in the US in case the US forces won't kill you people when ordered to. Get your heads out of the sand and get TVI out of the Oval Office and into a straight jacket and jail along with his Jewish handlers, Perle, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft etc.
Problem is with such a totally corrupt country where in hell are you going to find anyone honest capable of cleaning up the mess. Maybe you need to wipe the country clean first and a few others too.

WHEN WILL WE ALL SEE T,HIS COUNRTY BUILT ON BLOOD BY BLOOD IS EVEIL SATAN SHALL HAVE RULE UPON EARTH THROUGH SAYS THE HOLLY BOOK AND HE IS FOR NOW ALL THAT CONDEM HIN SHALL BE PROSCUTED...WHAT WERE THE WORDS OF BUSH...WITH US OR AGAINST US .....
STAY TRUE TO God no matter what he will come

Prove it.

Or lay off the Molson's.

Oh, by the way...what about all those Al Qaeda operatives up there, after the official pronouncement that "there are no terrorists in Canada"?

...I actually believe that there are WMD's in Iraq, so what the hell do I know? Not a whole hell of a lot!
