[1933] Smedley Butler on Interventionism Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.
[2017 April] Trump is puppet of US �deep state,� has no �own� foreign policy � Assad Trump pursues �no own policies� but only executes the decisions made by the �intelligence agencies, the Pentagon, the big arms manufacturers, oil companies, and financial institutions,� .... �a complete waste of time to make an assessment of the American president�s foreign policy� as �he might say something� but what he really does depends on �what these [US military and business] institutions dictate to him.� He also added that it �is not new� and �has been ongoing American policy for decades.� "This is what characterizes American politicians: they lie on a daily basis... That�s why we shouldn�t believe what the Pentagon or any other American institution says because they say things which serve their policies, not things which reflect reality and the facts on the ground,� Assad told TeleSUR. He went on to say that the US continues to pursue its age-long policy aimed at establishing and maintaining a global hegemony by turning all countries that oppose it into war zones. "The United States always seeks to control all the states of the world without exception. It does not accept allies, regardless of whether they are developed states as those in the Western bloc or other states of the world," the Syrian leader explained. He also added that �what is happening to Syria, to Korea, to Iran, to Russia, and maybe to Venezuela now, aims at re-imposing American hegemony on the world because they believe that this hegemony is under threat now, which consequently threatens the interests of American economic and political elites.� Assad expressed similar views in an interview with Russia�s Sputnik news agency about a week ago. �The regime in the United States hasn't changed,� he said, adding, �since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has been attacking different countries in different ways without taking into consideration the Security Council or the United Nations.�

MUST SEE VIDEO: TRUTH REGARDING SYRIA - NOT CIVIL WAR, BUT US INVASION,7 members of The US Peace Council visited Syria to find out what is truly going on. 16.25 minutes into the video Madeleine Hoffman says it is NOT A CIVIL WAR meaning it is NOT President Assad against his own people. The war is Syrian people joining forces with President Assad against mercenaries and terrorists whose name changes frequently to protect the countries funding them. The countries funding them are Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, the United States and Israel. The mercenaries are there to divide the Syrian people and stop Syria from being an independent state with its own banking system. Assad has managed to hold on for 5 years because he has the support of the Syrian people.

[2016 April] Rwanda Genocide - The Israeli Connection the Israeli Supreme Court decided to uphold the denial of a Freedom of Information request to make public documents about Israeli �defense' exports to Rwanda at the time of the 1994 genocide in that country�. The message is unmistakable. The Jewish State, that made the Holocaust into its state religion, is actively concealing its involvement in the genocide of another people. This is the true meaning of the Holocaust Religion � it is concerned with the primacy of the suffering of one people alone and these people aren�t Tutsi.

Katy Perry�s �Part of Me�: Using Music Videos to Recruit New Soldiers The prospect of future wars, along with the countless existing warzones around the world, are generating a great need for new soldiers military in the U.S. and other Western countries. Since military drafts are no longer an option, new and innovative ways are being used to reach the army�s target audience (teenagers) and to get them interested in enlisting in armed forces. Katy Perry�s Part of Me is an obvious Marines recruitment advertisement disguised as a music video, with the Marine�s �cool� weaponry, intensive training and soldier camaraderie all presented in a dynamic and appealing matter. The military and war are presented as ideal escapes from life�s bummers, like a cheating boyfriend, and geared to appeal to a generation of bored teenagers.
[2012 June] Press TV � West Point Caught Teaching Genocide Classes�for 12 Years by Gordon Duff and Press TV It has been discovered that the US military academies, West Point in particular, having been teaching classes for as long as 12 years that openly advocate genocide, population reduction through use of nuclear, biological and chemical war along with open racism and apartheid views.
[2012 June] Military movie censorship �makes Americans warlike� When the American people are seeing hundreds and hundreds of films and TV shows that have been sanitized by the military to make the military seem more heroic than it really is, and never wrong and always good, that creates a false image in the American people's minds, and I think it helps to make the American people a more warlike people.

[vid] More soldiers lost to suicide than battle. The #1 censored story of 2011 More U.S. Soldiers Killed Themselves Than Died in Combat in 2010. For the second year in a row, more American soldiers�both enlisted men and women and veterans�committed suicide than were killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Excluding accidents and illness, 462 soldiers died in combat, while 468 committed suicide. A difference of six isn't vast by any means, but the symbolism is significant and troubling. In 2009, there were 381 suicides by military personnel, a number that also exceeded the number of combat deaths.
Earlier this month, military authorities announced that suicides amongst active-duty soldiers had slowed in 2010, while suicides amongst reservists and people in the National Guard had increased. It was proof, they said, that the frequent psychological screenings active-duty personnel receive were working, and that reservists and guardsmen, who are more removed from the military's medical bureaucracy, simply need to begin undergoing more health checks. This new data, that American soldiers are now more dangerous to themselves than the insurgents, flies right in the face of any suggestion that things are "working." Even if something's working, the system is still very, very broken.
One of the problems hindering the military's attempt to address soldier suicides is that there's no real rhyme or reason to what kind of soldier is killing himself. While many suicide victims are indeed afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after facing heavy combat in the Middle East, many more have never even been deployed. Of the 112 guardsmen who committed suicide last year, more than half had never even left American soil.
"If you think you know the one thing that causes people to commit suicide, please let us know,� Army Vice Chief of Staff General Peter Chiarelli told the Army Times, "because we don't know what it is." read original:http://www.good.is/post/more-us-soldiers-killed-themselves-than-died-in-combat-in-2010

[2011 Oct] The Death of The Merchant of War his New York Times obituary, which had him working with the CIA. He never did. His case officers came from the Defense Intelligence Agency and White House. .....In one of his many moments of candor, he told me that no arms dealer can operate successfully without working with a major power. In Soghanalian�s case, it was largely the United States and France that backed his secret operations � rarely at the same time. During the Iran-Iraq War, Israel supplied weapons to Iran as Sarkis and the United States supplied Iraq. They deliberately fueled a war that killed a million people and kept two dangerous countries busy killing each other for a decade.
[2006] IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon "What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs," the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war. Quoting his battalion commander, the rocket unit head stated that the IDF fired around 1,800 cluster bombs, containing over 1.2 million cluster bomblets. In addition, soldiers in IDF artillery units testified that the army used phosphorous shells during the war, widely forbidden by international law.

[2003] Bush/Nazi Link Continued By John Buchanan and Stacey Michael After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen �enemy national� relationships that continued until as late as 1951
Chickenhawk Hall of Shame When an American male (or an especially belligerent female) makes the challenging transition from late adolescence into early adulthood, he is faced with many decisions. One certain, specific combination of choices will result in his becoming a chickenhawk: choosing to �support� war, while also choosing not to serve in the military. His motto becomes: �Let�s you and him go fight; I�ll hold your coat.�

[2000] US Behind Invasion of Eritrea by Thomas C. Mountain What the media almost never mentions is that the invasion of Eritrea by Ethiopia is funded by the USA and armed and advised by Russia. Preliminary research shows that in the last 18 months the American government has provided Ethiopia with at least 460millioninaidintheformofhard,convertiblecash.TheEconomistreportsthattheUKbasedInternationalInstituteforStrategicStudiesclaimsthatEthiopiahasspentover460 million in aid in the form of hard, convertible cash. The Economist reports that the UK based International Institute for Strategic Studies claims that Ethiopia has spent over 460millioninaidintheformofhard,convertiblecash.TheEconomistreportsthattheUKbasedInternationalInstituteforStrategicStudiesclaimsthatEthiopiahasspentover460 million on arms in the last year alone, almost all of it from Russia and former Soviet block countries. Could these figures be coincidental?......To this day Eritrea is the only country in Africa that owes nothing to the World Bank or the IMF. This independence, backed up by a thriving economy, is a powerful role model for not only Africa, but for the rest of the world. If tiny, natural resource poor Eritrea can not only go it alone, but do better than all the rest of the IMF/World Bank controlled countries, what is to stop everyone else from following suit? This is the reason behind the US support for the Ethiopian invasion. The US elite want Eritrea brought back under their dominance, or at the very least, so devastated that they are no longer a role model for the rest of the world.
..... Under the supervision of Russian Generals and provided with US and Israeli satellite intelligence, the Ethiopia army was able to pinpoint an Eritrean weak point and breakthrough into western Eritrea, the bread basket of Eritrea. There they proceeded to carry out a "scorched earth" campaign until driven out by Eritrean counter attacks.
....Already, their US paymasters are growing concerned by their failure to crush Eritrea and have already begun to cover their tracks leading to the support they have provided to Ethiopia. It is the responsibility of us in the west to expose the criminal nature of the US support for this holocaust. The bottom line is without US $'s the TPLF regime could not have attempted this invasion in the first place. For the US to say they didn't know their aid money was being spent on arms is like the Mafia don saying he didn't know his capos were committing all their crimes.
.....The question is "are there enough of us in the west who care enough to expose this crime? Or don't a million African refugees and another 100,000 dead Africans matter?"
