State Power and Superheroes
America the Mesmerized
By William C. Lewis
Welcome to America, where we have such lovely things as police brutality, arms factories, gigantic prisons, racism, liar politicians, propaganda news and pornography.
Bomb-making is a favorite American past-time as little worker bees who sit in factories all day work a nice 9-5 job making spare parts that are assembled to blow off the limbs of other children in far-away distant lands. When not doing this, Americans love such leisures such as recreational dope smoking, prostitution, snitching off neighbors and cutting each other off on the freeway.
The eighth batman film will be out next summer and you bet, he is going to go after those “bad guys” again. Actually, Batman is going to fight Superman. That’s right….as long as we have Batman and Superman and terrorism to fight abroad and on the home-front, the tanks can continue being manufactured and drones galore to supplement the boon to the armaments industry and our collective enslavement domestically while the NSA photographs our mail and taps our phone calls.
Isn’t it wonderful to live in a nation where leaders can jack their power up and the citizens’ power down through the use of fear at any time, by simply shutting down the embassies in the Middle East and working in coordination with a corrupt, bought off, CIA-penetrated mass media that will uncritically repeat the decadent regime’s false claims about “threats,” when the U.S.A. is aggressor number one in occupying and bombing foreign nations from Pakistan, to Afghanistan, to Somalia, in addition to planting CIA penetrated embassies in these nations?
Or how about the way in which political dissidents such as Bradley Manning are given 135 year sentences for acting upon their conscience after witnessing journalists and children being mass murdered while the puppet mass media serving the government regime local and national blares propaganda about on-the-loose non-state “criminals” who don’t even live in the locality of the majority of the audience watching the program, entertainment, and sports scores, all to deflect attention from the crimes of the U.S. government, including Stasi-like spying.
The mesmerized population watching Batman and Superman doesn’t see anything wrong with the nightmare and those who are awake have been rendered ineffectual. There might not be any satisfactory explanation for how America reached this epoch of mass-hypnosis and social control other than it occurred gradually, in several stages. 911 provided the blank check for everything from the loss of the fourth amendment to permanent executive war, completely unrestrained by the legislature, and even the suspension of Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus.
For those looking for things to turn around anytime soon, realize that the U.S. system must continue producing weapons to facilitate a never ending state of war psychosis against manufactured enemies that elude the concrete definition of a state and exist only as an abstract idea in the mass public mind, reinforced by the threat of state power violence in the form of surveillance and possible detention for those whose thoughts speech and actions contradict the government line.
America is a state that serves the police, the war economy in the form of armaments manufacturers and government researchers and the standing armies in the different Pentagon branches, along with the corrupt intelligence services and the Wall Street criminals. Everyone else civilian is either deemed an enemy, a criminal to be imprisoned or both.

War, Surveillance, Social Control, Propaganda and the Loss of Democracy
By William C. Lewis
The United States imperial system of social control implements acts of atrocity against other nations to steal and take their resources. Mentally and psychologically brainwashing the population to accept this act of terrorism against civilians is carefully conducted through the mediums of film, print, radio and television. Mass media war propaganda using stereotypes of races--whether German, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese is a routine process that is used to control the domestic American population through psychological warfare.
Flags, yellow ribbons, patriotic commercials, television shows are all a part of this process of genocide that garnered support among the American people while their nation bombed a defenseless Iraqi civilian population to control its oil resources.
During World War II, regimentation of the minds of soldiers occurred via depicting the "enemy" Japanese as cartoon rats to dehumanize this group so that U.S. soldiers wouldn't think twice about beheading the Japanese soldiers.
The racism and xenophobic war hysteria that drives the population into war fervor stemming from this kind of system was also used against Germans during World War I.
Politicians externalize false threats as a system of control to mobilize the U.S. population against endless enemies and rob them of their rights domestically. When consolidating control over their populations civil liberties through the externalization of this enemy threat, U.S. political and military elites use of racism as a function or tool to conduct this propaganda then leads to various laws which are passed that regulate what the domestic population is allowed to do during a war stimulus mobilization.
War mongering elites take extreme measures and even use state propaganda agencies such as the Committee on Public Information or the Office of Public Diplomacy to achieve this level of control. They employ significant pressures to connect the anger induced into the population and mobilized externally with any perceived internal dissent and reluctance on the part of the domestic civilian population to psychologically support mobilization of U.S. resources for war.
President Wilson's use of the Committee on Public Information to spread spurious claims to anger the U.S. audience about the evil Kaiser's Hun soldiers cutting off the limbs of Belgian Babies and the breasts of Belgian women through the efforts of his propaganda proxy newspaperman George Creel resulted in the implementation of various laws to subject the population to internal control and a subsequent loss of liberties.
Internal control of the population occurred through various military and intelligence agencies that spied on perceived disloyalty as the legislative and executive branches in this case authorized these agencies to open mail, censor the telephone calls and the telegraph under the Trading with the Enemy Act and arrest dissidents such as labor leader Big Bill Haywood and socialist politician Eugene Debs for speech, under the Espionage act, all under the guise that these were disloyal citizens engaged in illegal actions rather than constitutionally protected first amendment free speech. With the first wartime security agency, General Van Demans Military Intelligence Division conducted mass surveillance against the U.S. population with 300,000 spies that he used as civilian auxiliaries to root out signs of disloyalty against the war mobilization, known as the American Protective League a cadre of domestic civilian spies.
Now Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden sit in the same state of denial of the right to free speech and protection of constitutional liberties as this same law demonstrates a war of the American state against its own people and its victims abroad.

Slouching Toward a Police State DC, the War Crime Capital
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
Washington D.C. is the capital of a war criminal class that harvests the blood of Americans to fight wars abroad for resource control and domestic psychological control. War time stimulus measures are routinely implemented to deceive the masses into a state of shock and perpetual mobilization towards external colonization against target groups whose natural resources are coveted by Washington and western oil conglomerates that desire theft of third-world colonial peoples’ land to implement strategic pipelines that run through Central Asia.
Rice flowing from Asia to rebuild post war Japan and other such factors influenced United States intervention in Vietnam. That nation was divided along the sixteenth parallel in 1954 by Russia, China and the United States pending an election that was supposed to occur in 1956 that would reunify the North and the South.
The CIA didn’t allow the election to happen and installed a secret police dictatorship.
What followed? The napalming, bombing of South Vietnam and the CIA assassinations of revolutionary Vietcong and their families for standing against colonialism.
911 provided the excuse for the American government to attack Afghanistan and Iraq to control oil resources in the Middle East and Central Asia. The U.S. installed various military bases in Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Kyrgystan and made millions for private contracts with firms such as Kellogg Brown and Root to build U.S. Army Bases in these countries in addition to airbases to bomb nations, including Iraq. Bases now abound in over 1000 nations and supplement war-time stimulus measures in which targeted populations are massacred by United States and NATO forces. Major bases for initiating destructive warfare include South Korea, Germany, the Balkans, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia among others.
Leaders in Washington routinely invoke the idea that there are external threats to the nation in a cynical indoctrination of the public in which the resources of other nations become securitized under executive doctrines as the property of Americans.
Weapons company profits shift wealth from the public sector into private hands and tax the wealth of the majority of working and middle class Americans while jobs lack for the poor, destitute and unemployed.
Assassinations of civilians are a routine occurrence in counterinsurgency warfare doctrine. CIA has assassinated or planned for the assassination of over 50 foreign leaders, in Chile, Iraq, Libya, Panama, El Salvador. Assassinations or plots to wipe out leaders can take the form of hands, off, step-away tactics used to blow up airplanes containing CIA targets or it can take the form of backing military factions whose dislike for populist generals leads them to want to assassinate these leaders. The CIA will use death squad assassins to murder political dissidents and religious practitioners of liberation theology such as Archbishop Romero, but they also take part in brutal assassinations of politicians and generals who are either resisting or not sufficiently going along with foreign policy objectives of the military industrial complex or the CIA-mafia criminal syndicate network, such as Rafael Trujillo (Dominican Republic), Ngo Dinh Diem (Vietnam).The CIA functions as an appendage to the mass murder war machine and protects the wealth of the Wall Street elite.
Innocent civilian lives are snuffed in an absolute disregard for human rights, sovereignty. Women and children are massacred by the United States military and the CIA which targets them for assassination via operation Phoenix style counterinsurgency concentration camp programs.
Anticommunism is the basic function of these U.S. policies around the world which massacre third world indigenous nations when not interfering with their electoral processes or damaging their infrastructure. Arms deals are a routine factor in explaining this process for which indigenous rights are snuffed at the expense of gun profits, Euro-racist conquest and perpetual war under the national flag that supplements killer teams taking innocent lives for the blood of a dollar made for the profit share-holders returns. The ugliness that characterizes U.S. imperial war also includes torture in a secret system of bases where men are tortured without trial and due process of law under the U.S. constitution. U.S. bombs are a routine factor in terminating innocent lives and explains how the profit motive erases any value of other races as expendable.
Protesters habituating drone base sites where command and control systems function in routine slaughter of innocent civilians in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq the Philippines and Niger are treated as criminals and meted with heavy federal prison sentences while sociopathic desk murderers following the orders of state war criminals are free to kill random civilians whose faces they have never seen.
A police state will use rationales for the extermination of other groups based upon their race and generalize that attacks against that race that liken them to animals or insects so that rational thought is short-circuited towards slaughtering, confiscating their wealth and/or moving that group into concentration camps. Millions of dollars have been spent by the Pentagon for the initiation of the process of genocidal domestic counterinsurgency within the U.S. in the form of paramilitary teams that include various federal, state and local agencies. The plan may very well be to meet domestic unrest to suppress the U.S. public in a war of genocide as has been the historic case in third world nations under U.S. police-state imperial control. The Office of Public Safety functioned as a CIA front and is a subdivision of the USAID, which conducts civic action programs serving as cover for CIA police state infiltration of target groups that resist American Imperialist genocide. Informant cadre networks are constructed that target and assassinate revolutionary and guerilla leaders in general.
Slavery and war resemble each other through the prism of the Guantanamo detainees—many of these men were sold for bounty to the U.S./NATO by the Northern Alliance warlords. These men are still in prison camps in Bagram and Guantanamo and secret sites in Somalia where they are tortured via water boarding and forced feeding.
The U.S. congress should re-assert their power to declare war so that they can reject permanent endless war that has no place in a constitutional republic where these powers are used to deny freedoms, including the fourth amendment. A lack of privacy and a fear to speak out against war crimes due to possible detainment under the National Defense Authorization Act under the guise that political dissidents aid the omnipotent enemy of “terror” is a lack of fundamental human dignity for U.S. citizens.
A permanent war threat state is not conducive to constitutional governance nor is it amenable to a democratic society.
Endless enemies to mobilize the population against creates fear, hatred and armaments sales as new weapons are tested out on subject groups whether in Iraq, Panama, Vietnam or Afghanistan.
Contrary to what most people believe about the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, it was not about apprehending those who perpetrated the 911 attacks but rather to establish a pipeline to funnel Caspian Sea oil from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan and to Pakistani ports near the Indian Ocean.
Article I section 8 of the U.S. constitution was designed to restrain the power of the Executive by making sure that the power to declare war remained within the sovereign assembly.
It is expected that an imperialist war criminal nation that murdered millions in Indochina and Iraq will find Bradley Manning guilty of committing crimes to mask the real crime which is mass murder in multiple countries. Manning’s exposures only reveal a kernel of what the U.S. is responsible for globally through covert operations and direct military interventions in El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq and Afghanistan.

No Time for Jubilation
Washington Will Only Continue Its Crimes
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
Perpetual mass-media deception and pervasive surveillance encompass a never ending train of abuse that won’t end any time soon. As long as armaments factories continue producing weapons of death for the fortune 500 Wall Street elite who reside in U.S. capitalist society, war and threats of war will continue to expand and take on an ever deadly character.
Over 1000 military bases stationed, world-wide, nuclear weapons, a nuclear, first-strike posture by U.S. anti-ballistic missile systems and thousands of tanks, planes, bombers, armadas, special forces killer teams, hundreds of proxies and the Central Intelligence Agency that massacres civilians in Pakistan with drones on a routine basis, not because the missiles are missing their targets as claimed but because slaughtering civilians is a rapacious and depraved tool of the U.S. war mongers and their imperial war machine–that includes the civilian CIA, for resource control against Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia and any other nation the U.S. bombs to sustain its militarized war economy and claim to control the world’s most coveted petroleum resources in the Caspian Basin and Africa.
No other power in the world divides sections of the globes into various coms–Africom, Centom, Eucom, Pacificom and Southcom, among others.
CIA uses the corporate war military complex tools of surveillance and an informant network to understand who it is slaughtering and the people who are hit by the missiles are seen as associated with the “target,” whoever this person is. It is not an accident, but a tool of state terrorism that is used in all counter-guerilla or counter-terror wars run by CIA and military to target friends, associates and family of those who are an impediment to U.S. imperial control or a convenient enemy for the military industrial complex to ratchet up domestic armaments spending and perpetuate the standing armies in the Pentagon branches with hundreds of millions of dollars of tax-payer money. That CIA funds the Pakistani ISI and ISI, in turn funds the Taliban doesn’t really matter in the make-believe-media world of War on Terror that permanently threatens civilian slaughter against innocent bystanders whose personal relations are somehow tied up in this internecine web of war and deception based upon racism, fear lies and conformity to sustain the fortunes of the Wall Street ruling class, the CIA, the military and armaments industry. Nor does it matter that the CIA organized the airlifts for weapons transport via Saudi, Qatari and Jordanian military aircraft that put weapons into the hands of NATO backed Sunni-terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda to destabilize Assad. It also doesn’t matter that there are fewer than 50 Al Qaeda in Afghanistan according to former CIA director Leon Panetta and that the Taliban had nothing to do with the 911 attacks. The U.S. must occupy militarily permanently to sustain the war industry and keep its finger on the tap of Caspian Basin oil.
Various authors are claiming that because the United States and Russia are coming to an agreement on the chemical weapons of Bashar Al Assad that this somehow represents progress. But this is a mere farce and at best unfounded optimism due to the current, media staged U.S. posturing. The armaments industry still controls the United States. COINTELPRO is currently in full operation against those who oppose the U.S. war machine.
This war, foreign and domestic doesn’t just end–and people shouldn’t attempt to fool themselves or others. Just because one slaughter/attack was temporarily eluded, and look at how it is done, through an international, disarmament-policing mechanism, a smaller power is compelled to agree to give up their weapons to a more dominant body, which in turn dominates every one and the people doing it are largely guilty of war crimes. How does this represent a progress? The United States doesn’t need to use violence everywhere anymore. It has become so powerful that merely threatening to do so achieves the same results. It has hundreds of thousands of military and private contractors, JSOC not to mention CIA in Afghanistan, CIA in Pakistan, troops stationed in Korea, Germany, special-forces killer teams in over 120 nations, a spy network that spans the entire domestic United States with over 800,000 employees in the secretive domestic national security state that records and monitors U.S. citizens phone calls and e-mails, people employed in private prisons to warehouse the massive population of unemployed black male, many of whom are prisoners for non-violent crimes in the counter-insurgency style war on drugs that is a boon to the U.S. private prison industry and the U.S. uses cut-throat killer mercenaries in Syria who have murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people. It isn’t even proven that Assad used weapons against his people and so the U.S. and Russia now negotiate how Assad will disarm, yet the greatest purveyor of violence in the world–the United States government remains armed to the teeth after it obliterated 3 million people in Vietnam, millions in Iraq and burned to death 300,000-400,000 civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and is now threatening Russia that it will back out of negotiations to include Syria within the Organization for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) if Russia doesn’t include Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter into the U.S. Russia accords, essentially allowing a NATO/U.S. military attack against Syria if it is seen as “not complying,” according to the D.C. war criminals’ corrupt, hypocritical standards.
All of this when it is obvious that Assad’s use of weapons against civilians two days after UN inspectors arrived in Damascus would have been a completely irrational act and completely unlikely. Various left commentators want to continuously point out that Assad has committed crimes, including torture, but the instigator of the secret rendition program that snatched and locked away detainees in the imperialist police state war on terror was George W. Bush, not Assad.
Speaking about the crimes of the designated official enemy Assad for past crimes committed with CIA collaboration when the U.S. war, surveillance assassination machine spans the globe and is not ruling out another massacre, when it already massacres and knocks off civilians and enemies of U.S. empire via drone hits designed to inflict terror and maintains a vast diplomatic, military and intelligence occupation world-wide and war criminals belonging to the capitalist ruling class who used Assad as a torture proxy reside free of punishment seems a bit hypocritical. This is no time for jubilation. No victory has been won.

The Wages of Complicity
Congressional War Criminals
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
The war criminals of congress are protected by the ignorance of the public.
As Americans waste time watching their favorite sports teams compete with one another and remain spellbound, the youth of the nation is corrupted with Miley Cyrus while the American corporate military occupies over 130 nations in nearly 1000 war system bases that facilitate the slaughter of other races of people on the command of an imperial executive.
Congressmen, the lawmakers who have the power to reign in the war making executive, are complicit war criminals themselves and are supported by the military industrial complex weapons industry that supplies the generals, the soldiers, the Special Forces, the mercenaries and the killer team CIA. Congress is an appendage of America’s right-wing killing machine that must remain sacrosanct in this system of militarized violence that continues its killing spree, globally.
Congressmen interests are funded by their war criminal industrial machine masters, Boeing, Lockheed and Raytheon to continue making drones, missiles, aircraft and bombs and to control Caspian Basin oil in Afghanistan to reserve a never ending supply of oil for the military that plans to wage war forever.
Society is under corporate technological militarized control and surveillance. How can any genuine massive civil-disturbance protest against militarization, standing armies and the war economy occur within the United States whether on college campuses or anywhere when every waking moment individuals are attached to machines such as I-Phones, I-Pads, headphones, that function as time eating, attention stealing devices deliberately designed to infest their minds with corporate military commercialized brainwash and stifle and kill free thought as a form of pacification and electronic soft counter-insurgency against genuine antiwar anti-militarized sentiment? The manufactured terrorism threat functions symbiotically with mass consumerism and structured life as people plug in and tune out or remain ignorant of corporate military imperial violence documented in history and investigative journalism books that is the real terrorism waged by the Pentagon and CIA.
What does it say about the indoctrination level of U.S. society when the vast majority of its citizens have no idea that their nation is an empire and that their government has a militarized presence around the world and that flat-screen televisions are situated in every restaurant, mall, store or other public gathering place blaring the familiarized mind-numbing war criminal propaganda of Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, football, tools of murder treated as spectacle through the coordinated propaganda of jet-takeoffs over football fields, or worse, the commercialized and morally decadent adjunct of the Pentagon that has historically amplified and churned out a readily available supply of both state war and police state propaganda–Hollywood “entertainment,” no doubt responsible for the recruitment of thousands upon thousands of now dead and maimed men and women killed in greedy wars for profit and glory of government officials and will continue to do so as long as a permanent institutionalized war system run by the Pentagon remains in place. Civilian federal workers are forced to take a furlough but the Pentagon-NSA-CIA war machine remains in full operation against manufactured enemies in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and conducts surveillance against the domestic U.S. public while U.S. war threats abound against Iran over nuclear weapons they don’t even have.
When individuals have no idea what a SOCOM, CENTCOM, a NORTHCOM, and SOUTHCOM, is, but they are academics working at universities, dentists, mechanics, laborers in general–living in a world of delusion and social control and not understanding the violence of imperial corporate war factory military bombs and missiles deliberately targeting innocent civilians and infrastructure and blowing people away because of the deliberate systematic information control and diversion of the ideological system this means America has gone insane drinking the poison of violence commercialization and war and remains suspended in this narcosis even if another slaughter is temporarily suspended.
Routine slaughter continues unabated via deliberate drone attacks on civilians, including CIA murder in Pakistan, Somalia, Philippines, counterinsurgency JSOC jackboot door-to-door murder in Afghanistan, and CIA-funded cutthroat mercenaries in Syria. Killer Special Forces teams are stationed in 120 nations including the latest area of imperial expansion, Africom. War is permanent. Taliban resisting U.S. occupation are retina scanned to feed their identities into massive U.S. imperial military surveillance databases as were Iraqis, Yemenis and now Somalis.
Understanding the problem doesn’t necessarily necessitate having the solution. The structural controls are so daunting that the false consciousness of the majority of the population cannot perceive the mass societal manipulation. They don’t see the dead bodies piled up by the CIA, U.S. Army, Marines, private mercenaries and JSOC nor do they see the millions killed in Iraq from 1991 during the Bagdhad Amman Highway of death U.S. air hunt of fleeing Iraqi civilians or the present day sectarian warfare slaughter caused by the brutal U.S. occupation.
War and corporate militarism death and destruction eat out the substance of the land. The U.S. is the greatest war criminal nation on the planet, laden with atrocities, from 3 million murdered with agent orange defoliants and counterinsurgency in Indochina, 80,000 dead in El Salvador, a counterinsurgency bloodbath Guatemala in the 1980′s that took up to 60,000 lives, hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq due to infrastructure bombing and a sanctions campaign in 1991, followed by the U.S. criminal invasion and bombing of that nation in 2003. The majority of the population doesn’t know about the U.S. use of Salvadoran and Guatemalan secret police advised by CIA and the formulation of death squads where CIA installs the dictatorships, then supplies the bullets and the guns for the police constabularies and elite, rich property owning death squad mercenaries to root out communist subversion wherever it lurks its head as these militarized corporate counterinsurgency then go to work against dissident populist movements.
They don’t know about the torture, assassination, bugging, spying, training in secret police methods, infiltrating dissident groups, training in mercenary warfare and sending arms to criminal elements to slaughter U.S. Pentagon and CIA “enemies,” including 40,000 Vietnamese revolutionaries during Operation Phoenix, thousands upon thousands of Nicaraguans murdered under the U.S. military trained Somoza national guard and during the Contra War against peasant farming cooperatives in which 10,000 Nicaraguan civilians were murdered, raped, bombed and mutilated by CIA trained and supplied right-wing exile guerilla insurgents.
All of these crimes were waged and continue indefinitely without a declaration of war against a state by the U.S. Congress in violation of Article I Section 8 as does the inhumane, racist and unconstitutional torture and forced feeding of emaciated Guantanamo and Bagram concentration camp detainees held indefinitely as the U.S continues its corporate war military slaughter across the globe.
This is a conspiracy that separates the powers that be from the rest of the people. If only they knew and were awakened perhaps this cognitively disturbing information would spark the indignation of the depoliticized, indignified American masses whose tax dollars pay for slaughter.
Death and destruction abounds in a fake oligarchic domestic social control system and fake elections penetrate the mass mind with propaganda, lies, distortion mentally deranged control and simulated manipulation through the television screen while bombs and missiles obliterate civilians, including children and captives of the U.S. military detention system are continuously tortured. Congress is too bloodstained with their own war crimes and loaded with buy-offs from the armaments industry to ever stop the killing.
This truth is too hard for many “proud” Americans to swallow, but black operation foreign policy is the rule of the day. Individuals are slaughtered via U.S. CIA-military interventions into their country to control the development of their economies and their land, resources, labor, utilities and other infrastructure that is bought up by foreign multinational corporations. This is why the U.S. never leaves Afghanistan. The CIA and military are waging a permanent psychological warfare counterinsurgency campaign, including assassination, bombing, and torture to keep the Afghan population from defecting to the Taliban so that U.S. imperialism can continue its Caspian Oil dominance. It’s not now and never was about pursuing the perpetrators of 911 who died on an airplane and were Saudis, Yemenis and U.A.E. citizens. Thousands upon thousands of Guatemalans and Salvadorans have starved due to counterinsurgency policies which facilitated the export of bananas, beef and coffee to North America while land for the growth of maize for domestic consumption was denied by the U.S. suppressive violence of the allied oligarchical elite working with the CIA, the Pentagon and the U.S. embassy.
The CIA imparted the Greek KYP intelligence service with torture, assassination techniques, bugging equipment, spying techniques and training this secret police agency to torture and murder the political left in Greece and the CIA conspired with the Greek military and Nazi Security Battalion CIA asset and KYP chief George Papadopoulos to oust Andres Papandreou, after this prime minister objected to CIA-KYP spying on his ministerial conversations, in a coup to facilitate the continued massive stationing of U.S. military/NATO nuclear weapons bases, military bases housing war mobilized American soldiers and other infrastructure of the imperial NATO capitalist imperialist war machine.
U.S. military allowed Joint US Military Advisory Group to serve as a front, cross-pollination cover for CIA combat psywar expert Edward Lansdale whose CIA psywar squad collaboration with Philippine military, wealthy landowner goon squads and police lead to the slaughter of the Philippine Huks to maintain 23 U.S. military bases in the Philippines and reinforce a U.S. Philippine trade agreement allowing foreign interests parity in the development of Philippine resources. This policy drove the peasants and farmers off their land for the U.S. and European sugar interests and decimated the Philippine farmer population, allowing the U.S. a stationing area for the criminal bombing of Vietnam where anticolonial Vietnamese resisting this slaughter and occupation were tortured and locked in small, crippling stone boxes known as Tiger Cages and Philippine troops participated with U.S. military in slaughtering the Vietcong.
This slave factory war machine run by war mongers obliterates nations with evil criminality all over the world. Just because the media is blacking it out doesn’t mean it’s not occurring—right now, don’t be fooled. Don’t expect congressional war criminals to bring justice to those slaughtered by the U.S. imperial massacre war machine. Under the War Crimes Act of 1996—passed by the United States Congress and signed by Bill Clinton, a war crime is “a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.” The U.S. congress relinquished their war authority to George Bush and Dick Cheney who proceeded to carry out aggressive war for natural resources and presided over a network of torture bases that included Syria and Libya, where Assad and Gaddafi helped Bush torture Arabs in dungeons, not to mention grotesque torture that still exists and has devolved into force-feeding emaciated prisoners in Guantanamo. Article 6 of the U.S. constitution says that all ratified treaties are law of the land and the U.S. ratified article 3 of the Geneva Conventions in 1949, which prohibits torture of detainees “taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms.” Many people rounded up for bounty by the U.S. military and Northern Alliance in Afghanistan didn’t even have weapons, and individuals snatched and grabbed under the Bush administration extra-ordinary rendition system surely didn’t have weapons, yet all of these people have suffered torture.
The U.S. Congress has violated its own Constitution, passed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 suspending Posse Comitatus and gave the military the authority to arrest and detain Americans on U.S soil. They cannot be trusted to turn themselves in for war crimes or for violations of the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. Imperialism No Delight for the People of the World
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
Corporate imperial militarism controls U.S. society and wages destructive occupations abroad to serve the capitalist interests of the war-making, armaments manufacturing class whose bombs eradicate human beings for profit.
Externalized racism and depleted uranium radiation warfare smashes the aspirations of target victims in Afghanistan and Iraq, CIA drones slaughter civilians mercilessly in Pakistan, napalm and agent orange used in Vietnam is still effecting children with birth defects, hundreds of thousands in El Salvador and Guatemala miss their disappeared relatives that the U.S. military and CIA trained Latin American dictators and their police constabularies in racist anticommunist doctrine to murder and justify the imperial extraction of natural resources to protect the elite wealthy classes and rich landowner death squads using secret police assassination methods.
The CIA trains murderous guerillas as part of proxy sabotage whenever a government the U.S. imperial corporate war masters don’t like achieves advances in health care and education for their population while simultaneously offering land reform or industrialization beneficial to the population and plentiful jobs. Whether CIA-contra proxy mercenary guerilla insurgent violence against teachers, priests and peasant farmers supporting the Sandinista revolutionary government or NATO massive aerial bombardment of infrastructure and terrorization of the Libyan African population with jihadist barbaric killers, the goal is to undermine systems that are functioning for the majority of people and therefore undermining the control of the U.S imperial wall street armaments manufacturing oil mafia elite. The U.S. massacre armaments machine didn’t like the Sandinista revolution because El Salvador and Guatemala were stable customers of armaments to terrorize their populations and one leftist regime left standing in the hemisphere perhaps might result in the strengthening of revolutionary upheavals in the neighboring colonies and therefore represented a threat to the sale of counterinsurgency equipment to these nations. Gaddafi’s Libya featured a free health care system, free university, public infrastructure projects for his population and this leader threatened to demand payment of his nations’ oil in gold rather than the dollar.
These nations are seen as targets for obliteration and destruction of the U.S. military corporate war imperial NATO masters who thrive on death and arms sales to profit their personal bank accounts.
The destructive apparatus known as the U.S. war machine builds bases all around the world for the private corporate profit of Halliburton, Kellogg Brown and Root and maintains concentration camps with emaciated prisoners cleared for release at Guantanamo who are being force fed and choked to maintain the profitability of running overseas prison garrisons for the sake of a bloody empire run by the rich.
Lies make money. Lies are an immensely profitable undertaking. A lying industry prevails in the United State serving the corporate military war factory interests that enriches the capitalist ruling class. Televisions and armaments factories are running in smooth operating precision as the conditioned masses are left to stare at their leaders who threaten to crash the global financial system and lie about a lack of funds for the civilian government while innocent civilians are blown to smithereens with National Security Agency reconnaissance assisted CIA-military piloted drones from the skies during a shutdown of basic services for the poor.
Mass media deception is a perpetual function of the armaments industry as it uses the avenues of print, electronic television and radio to sell the homicidal lies of the arms merchants who wanted to lay waste to Syria as part of the NATO/U.S. imperialist capitalist destruction of this land with Tomahawk missiles. A study of the mass media on http://public-accountability.org/ reveals that MSNBC, Fox, PBS and CNN television anchors interviewing former Bush national security advisor Stephen Hadley, who made various arguments in favor of a U.S./NATO military attack against Syria, failed to mention that he is a director of Raytheon which manufactures the Tomahawk missile. Raytheon paid Hadley $128,500 in compensation last year, and he is owner of 11,477 shares of stock in this armaments company, worth $900,000. Out of the four times Hadley’s arguments for U.S. military violence against Syria were featured in mainstream media, including three televised interviews—on Bloomberg TV, Fox News and CNN and once in a Washington Post opinion editorial, media anchor or editorial personnel responsible for identifying a guest experts’ official title only mentioned his position as former national security advisor and nothing about his war profiteering affiliation with Raytheon.
A variety of other guests which appeared on the mainstream corporate networks and advocated for militarized violence against Syria during the attempted run-up for war are affiliated with munitions company or “defense” or intelligence contracting interests. The study shows that 22 different commentators with connections to defense and intelligence contractors or defense related investment firms made 111 appearances as quoted guests, experts on news shows or opinion editorial authors and mass media news personnel made only 13 attempts within the various media outlets to disclose the guest commentators’ connections to the military-intelligence weapons industry. Former Centcom commander Anthony Zinni expressed support for attacking Syria with NATO/U.S weaponry three times on CNN, once on CBS This Morning and in an opinion editorial in the Washington Post and none of the media personnel working in an interviewer or editorial capacity for these outlets mentioned that he is an outside director of BAE Systems, the third largest military services company in the world, based in London.
So much for the mass media serving as a fourth branch of government to check the powerful when reporters at media outlets that reach the vast majority of the population are completely bought off by the armaments industry and reporters who are actually doing their jobs are repeatedly spied on and more whistleblowers are persecuted than any other administration combined under the Espionage act of 1917.
Armament factory military corporate war interests of the U.S. Pentagon war machine cause Pakistani teenagers to commit suicide due to the ever present trauma of assassination squad drones hovering over their land. What does this say about the moral level of the United States when because of a lack of investment in socially uplifting employment prospects, students are now being channeled into this industry tainted with the blood of innocent men, women and children because of the massive influence of the military industrial armaments complex in shaping the educational institutions that are the main determinant in producing the array of occupations, industries goods and services that we call the economy? Newspaper columnists blurt obscenities of internalized racism such as murdering Pakistani children is better from an American standpoint because they could somehow harm U.S. citizens in the future. How many of these future drone operators will work for humanitarian purposes such as rescuing people during disasters or delivering food to the homeless versus violating the fourth amendment of U.S. citizens with a constitutional right from unreasonable searches and seizures and, worse yet, political assassination of activists deemed criminals by an elite corporate militarized cabal? Perhaps this is an unknown, but we might ask how many of them are affiliated with progressive social causes or anti-racist, ant-imperialist views or know that imperialism is a process by which military empires extract natural resources for corporate profit as is the case with Afghanistan’s lithium as well as geostrategic positioning for oil pipelines and that U.S./NATO/ CIA military attacks against target nations always involve the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians.
Thirty thousand drones will fly over the U.S. by 2020. This war-surveillance machinery is already used in a global assassination campaign that denies both foreigners and U.S. citizens the right of trial before execution. Surveillance drones deny the target freedom from unreasonable searches, seizures and surveillance under the fourth amendment, domestically, not to mention the national sovereignty and lives of the targets of U.S-CIA-military imperial violence including scores of innocent civilians deemed “collateral damage,” or worse yet, associates of the target deliberately murdered for political assassination purposes. U.S. Imperialism—it’s no delight for the people of the world and increasingly not for U.S. citizens unaffiliated with the war machine either.

Jets, Tanks, Planes, Bombs and Occupying Soldiers: The Wall Street Pentagon War Machine
By William C. Lewis
Corporate military armaments factory genocide of weapons contracts stimulated through backroom business deals with big businessmen sell wars to anesthetize the population to military slaughter of the target race and produce and consume on command without thought of the victims whose lives are terminated through aggressive bombing, Special Operations counterinsurgency and tomahawk missile massacre for resources control.
Arms merchants sell reams of ammunition to the Pentagon corporate state war masters who in turn tax the thoroughly inculcated population to pay for the mass death facilitated through jets, tanks, planes, bullets, bombs and occupying soldiers.
The U.S. imperial NATO/CIA war slaughter machine backs coup attempts that the Pentagon facilitates with ships whenever the Wall Street elite fortune 500 cabal wants an unpopular leader deposed and this act of corporate imperial military hitman homicide smashes and destroys the aspirations of the poor, the workers and those whose wishes are for sovereignty of their lands while strengthening the morale of the rightest military factions supportive of a fascist dictator that will readily accept military aid and anticommunist purges against popular democracy. Likewise, when the people and the guerillas rise up against CIA-funded police state constabulary elite landowner capitalist death squad regimes these armaments slaughter machine ships instantly appear to reinforce the CIA sponsored right-wing military dictatorship with missiles and murderous jet-take-off bombing massacre runs.
Homicidal agent-orange herbicide extermination methods implemented by the U.S.A. as a continuation of the French imperial genocide initiated against the Vietnamese exemplifies the armaments corporate military war factory interests in destroying the social destiny of thousands upon thousands of indigenous poor people.
U.S. armaments factory war massacre machines of death still drop bombs via robot and piloted flight over areas of the world designated for control under U.S. geopolitical war crime command structures and like the Indochina slaughter of yesteryear, believe that Yemen is an area where innocent civilian life is of no consequence to their profit margins.
Warships of imperial armament factory homicide ruthlessly lob missiles from the Gulf of Aden into areas where civilians reside, making life miserable for those whose existence is growing more and more burdensome each day while the few sitting in the Pentagon War master Wall Street armaments complex board and meeting rooms become increasingly wealthier and more powerful over the domestic U.S. population and the world with their NSA spy grid.
Body parts of those hit with missiles from robotic assassination machines hovering above are grotesquely strewn about the ground as bystanders shriek in terror at the sight of their exploded countrymen.
U.S. counterinsurgency helicopters whether piloted by U.S. personnel or murderously trained puppet proxies target and hunt down innocent civilians on a routine basis from Indochina, to El Salvador, Guatemala., Iraq, to Afghanistan and Somalia.
The death factory includes those thrown out of helicopters for the Vietnamese whose lives were stolen and maimed by the assassination program, Operation Phoenix.
This is armaments factory corporate military genocide. The NATO capitalist imperialist armaments factory corporate war machine interests of death control the combatant command structure of the planet to divide up control of resources within the world. The U.S. corporate imperial NATO war masters claim the right to incinerate Iran with a nuclear first-strike when Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon.
These war machine criminals use their proxies whether U.S. military, CIA or private mercenaries to control Middle East Oil and Caspian Basin oil while maintaining highly profitable military bases constructed via Kellogg Brown and Root and Halliburton. Tortured prisoners cleared for release remain near death in slow and painful unnecessary punishment all to maintain the profits of the rich and wealthy. Lithium is extracted for computers and I-Pads from Afghanistan and Coltan from Uganda and Rawanda for the benefit of the I-Phone industry while merciless corporate backed militias slaughter African peasants for greed.
Murderous aggression drone bombing is the reality of NATO’s murderous air assault and surveillance assassination onslaught of 397 sorties and 145 massacre drone hits, coupled with jihad proxy mercenary slaughter against civilians that secured Libya as one more nation in the hands of the bloody Pentagon-NATO-CIA armaments merchant oil-mafia-machine.
Joint American/Peruvian counterinsurgency campaigns napalm, burn down villages and slaughter rebels whose existence is to serve the Spaniard-European class of landowning slave masters and whose aspirations to make social gains are diminished with every ounce of U.S. military aid supplied to their nation. CIA-green beret-cross pollination to finance mess halls, barracks, classrooms, parachute towers, and helicopters to stimulate the U.S. corporate military war factory and private contracting base-building economy of murderous capitalist interests ensured that populist guerillas who desired to see their children not eat garbage for a meal remained subordinate to the Latin American and U.S. military homicidal officer class.
The war criminal system breeds corporate-military-imperial war homicidal structures of secret police informant cadre death to protect the land owning elite goon squad plantation classes, the multinationals and U.S. Pentagon war machine armaments interests. The imperial command structure of the armaments massacre machine concentrates inordinate power into the Executive to slaughter civilians using robotic CIA-Pentagon murderous death machines.
The NATO homicidal armaments massacre machine of flying robotized death targets people with missiles who are horrified and fleeing their slaughterers sitting in termination centers to assert corporate war factory military elite control over centers the U.S. empire designates its resource control area.
The real reason the homicidal arms merchants of U.S. empire and the psychotic imperial government is killing is because the U.S. Pentagon war machine equipped with Special Forces in 120 nations asserts world control through a command structure and the operations against civilians is to maintain hegemony as part of U.S, NATO war machine aims against terrified populations.
CIA partners with Pentagon war machine in assassination, the purpose of which is to reinforce U.S. hegemonic control through the imperial NATO war machine commands that designate areas of the globe for U.S. occupation and resource control. War crimes, informant spying networks to figure out who should be assassinated next and brutal atrocities against non-combatant civilians are what flow out of this structural U.S. Pentagon militarized full spectrum control of the planet.
It’s a corporate warfare military imperial slaughter machine.
Iraqi sanctions took the lives of a half million innocent Iraqis whose infrastructure, electrical grids and water sanitation facilities were obscenely targeted for corporate war military assault in the same fashion that NATO destroyed Libya’s infrastructure and the Iraqi people now live without a functioning system of water and electricity.

From Ukraine to Syria and Iraq: Selling Fear and Lies to Control the Public
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
The media is selling fear of beheadings to the public. Syria is destroyed and so is Iraq, principally at the hands of the U.S. military machine and western partners. Oil pipelines and weapons deals are the reasons for this monstrosity that knows no end in its brutal occupation. The U.S. sold arms to Nouri al-Maliki to back his corrupt regime and backed his forces with drone strikes against ISIS, even though the American CIA also previously supported jihadist Sunni rebels, including the ISIS—procuring weapons for these groups, to attack the government of Bashar al-Assad. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are now dead in Syria—murdered by U.S. backed proxies. The ISIS are now in control of oil fields in Iraq thanks in no small part to U.S. weaponry, sold to Maliki, which they obtained after taking over major areas of the country.
The colonial powers and western energy conglomerates/capitalist investors are now dividing the spoils of oil resources for NATO geopolitical war machine control. U.S. bombing of Iraq to impose ethnic borders between the Kurds, the Sunnis and the Shias is the U.S. military strategy to make this war-ridden land safe for U.S. multinational oil investors who supply a never ending flow of oil to the global NATO war machine.
Even though the real reason for conducting brutalizing airstrikes against Iraq is to re-enforce American domination, the U.S. imperial corporate apparatus via the deceptive mass media sold the sustained vicious bombing to the American people as humanitarian intervention to save the Yazadi people and to avenge the deaths of two slain/beheaded western reporters. The military-industrial-corporate media complex will continue to foment war tensions through its success at demonizing enemies on numerous fronts—including Putin, who they claim is invading Ukraine, and the Ukrainian separatists who will not bend to Washington’s right-wing Neo-Nazi regime in Kiev.
The ISIS is a 100 percent product of the U.S. proxy destabilization policy against Syria, and their command of Iraq’s oil fields in Mosul, along with this group’s beheading of journalists, both function as convenient war propaganda to anger the American public and fuel the U.S. airstrike machine that benefits the capitalist armaments industry since Americans subconsciously believe as a result of their national security indoctrination that the petroleum of the Middle East is U.S. property serving “core interests” and protecting their “way of life.”
The Afghan region is still occupied via U.S. forces for the construction of the TAP (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan) pipeline that controls the flow of Caspian Sea Oil against Russia. Over 1000 military bases in 130 nations still straddle the globe of the biggest and most brutal weapons manufacturing war economy militarist system in history that drone bombs children in Pakistan, Yemen and Iraq, even though the American people are not hearing about it in the controlled mass media.
Everywhere that one looks it is occupation and militarization for resource control. Sanctions and war, genocide and slaughter were the result of the 1990-1991 attack against the sovereign nation of Iraq. Depleted uranium munitions infecting the air particles Iraqis breathe and heavy bombing of infrastructure to smash a society and render the people helpless before their dictator is the manner in which the Washington military-oil-complex softened up Iraq. The U.S. war machine targeted electrical grids, sewage systems and water-treatment/sanitation facilities with bombing and combined this destruction of life support systems with sanctions to deny necessary materials to fix the destroyed national infrastructure, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people through disease. It was part of a deliberate disintegration of Iraqi society to weaken the people of this land for Anglo-North-American control of the vast petroleum reserves in the Persian Gulf.
The excuse for this aggression against the people of Iraq, to punish the dictator Saddam Hussein for invading Kuwait, obscures the fact that this act of aggression stemmed from Kuwait’s slant drilling into Iraqi oil fields and simultaneous refusal to relieve Iraq’s war debt, incurred from the Iran-Iraq war, that prevented Hussein from embarking upon re-industrialization/post-war reconstruction programs in this nation.
The U.S. government mass murders civilians for war profit. It does it with calculated ease. Rather than seeking revenge for beheadings of U.S. journalists, Americans supporting a renewed U.S. bombardment of Iraq need to look at the fact that the U.S. arranged for the training of ISIS in Jordan and that this group has nefarious connections to NATO allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who openly funded the ISIS as part of the proxy genocidal destabilization against Syria.
Let us also look at the anger that is resultant from the U.S. bombing, occupation, torture and murder of innocent Iraqi civilians beginning in 2003 that was part a shock and awe invasion/ counterinsurgency operation to build military bases in Iraq and have a foothold in the Persian Gulf to control Middle East oil. Why is the main focus in the mainstream media on Putin’s so called “invasion” of Crimea or his alleged deployment of troops into Eastern Ukraine rather than placing in the proper context the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) U.S. invasion of Iraq which, three years after commencing, is doing far more damage in terms of loss of human life with its blowback effects of the Saudi/Qatar/NATO backed ISIS beheading of civilians and shooting up Iraq out of anger for American atrocities from 2003-2011. Is this not far worse than anything Putin could ever do? Since the proper context of the ISIS beheadings is not presented in the controlled mass media, the blowback from this outright imperial slaughter-occupation that has enflamed fundamentalists throughout the region, who want to get even with Americans whose governing officials have ruthlessly and liberally applied counter-insurgency death squads in their nations, is not reflected upon by the American people. U.S. jets to re-bomb the area as a form of retaliation is only causing further hatred of American foreign policy.
The U.S.-backed government in Kiev engaging in a brutal coup-de-taut, backed through the National Endowment for Democracy and the U.S. State Department/European Union is also causing massive civilian casualties as these monsters bomb women, children and babies from airplanes in Eastern Ukraine cities such as Lugansk and Gorlovka and massacre civilians in Odessa. ISIS draws its weapons and funding from the U.S. Pentagon—accident or not, and they receive funding from NATO Allies-Saudi Arabia-Qatar. They commit rabid atrocities against civilian journalists as an act of retaliation against the European and North American colonial imperialist policies that are responsible for the destruction of the region but have also been funded by Arabian oil monarchy controlled governments who are NATO members cooperating as partners in this resource control project through their collaboration with the CIA and alliance with NATO in funding proxy guerilla death squads.
The U.S. 2015 discretionary spending budget of $1.16 trillion will appropriate approximately $640 billion or 55.2 percent of the entire discretionary budget on military spending compared to other expenses such as Food and Agriculture, Transportation, Science, International Affairs, Energy and Environment, Social Security, Unemployment and Labor, Medicare and Health, Housing and Community, Government, Veterans Affairs Benefits and Education. This gross appropriation on war and death only benefits a select few at the top of the income stratification and is squandering away the wealth of the working people on needless death and slaughter to continue the Pentagon strategic control of oil resources throughout the world.

The Lies of the War Establishment: Selling the Syrian Airstrikes
by WILLIAM C. LEWIS
The U.S. war establishment is using the ISIS propaganda scare to police the world and continuously subject resistant nations to their global NATO imperial plans through massive aerial bombardment violence that is already murdering people not taking part in hostilities.
It’s not just the ISIS group that is an instrument to launch further wars for empire, either. There are new groups and endless enemies that the Washington war cabal is now naming, including the Khorasan group.
The U.S. war criminals dropped as many bombs on Syria in one night on September 23 than the entire span of recent bombings/170 plus death dealing airstrikes on Iraq in the name of waging war against ISIL, which is really a campaign designed to further destroy the Iraqi nation to control its petroleum. In Syria, U.S. NATO imperialists bombed 50 targets in Raqqa, Deir al-Zor and Hasakah provinces and also conducted airstrikes in Alleppo.
According to the Britain based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights the U.S. and its five partners in imperial conquest—Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates targeted a residential building in Aleppo used by the Nusra Front, a militant group which these war mongers have been backing for the past several years to destabilize the Bashar-al-Assad government and eight civilians were killed, including three children.
The US fired 47 Tomahawk cruise missiles from ships in the Red Sea and Northern Persian Gulf at targets in Raqqa. Fighter jets and bombers — plus Tomahawk cruise missiles and drone aircraft are the deadly combination of violence that is feeding the economic interests of the U.S. military industrial corporate complex in these targeted areas of the besieged country. It’s the first time that the Pentagon has deployed its F-22 Raptor jets into combat to destroy people’s homes in Syria which war masters will call “collateral damage.”
The Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moualem is making nervous statements attempting to keep his government from being overthrown in the recent onslaught of airstrikes targeting militants. Moualem is stating that Washington cannot go it alone in the fight against the groups and that ground forces of the Syrian army are necessary.
This genuflection to U.S. aggression in the hopes that the Syrian government will not suffer a targeted overthrow in the same way that the U.S. NATO military machine used airstrikes against Libya and jihadist proxy mercenaries to assassinate Muammar Gaddafi and massacre his supporters is exemplary of the violent nature of the global NATO militarized corporate war machine and its ability to intimidate world leaders of other nations. NATO U.S. war criminal imperialists will both use ISIS/Al Nusra against Assad and simultaneously attack these groups to bombard the Syrian countryside with U.S. weaponry to benefit the capitalist interests of the war contractors supplying the armaments.
The flagrant deception of claiming and camouflaging the fact that the militant jihadist groups are a tool of U.S. foreign policy and claiming that NATO and five Arab Nations, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates must stop ISIS after the CIA armed the group utilizing Saudi and Qatari military cargo aircraft and, along with Al Nusrah, used these militants for several years to attack Bashar Al Assad and cut the heads off of supporters of his government, shows the deadly hypocrisy of the American exceptionalist foreign policy to which Barack Obama so rigidly adheres. U.S. Special Forces trained ISIS fighters in Jordan. Some would call this the doctrine of hypocrisy and others would say it is just plain criminal. U.S war criminals and Arab petro- monarchy capitalist elite terrorist financer nations now conduct airstrikes in Syria to brutalize civilians including half a dozen victims that include three children who are now dead and certainly many more will die in the days and weeks to follow. Aren’t these deaths of innocents just as bad as the purported beheadings we have seen of western journalists over and over in the corporate mainstream media to engineer support for yet another deadly futile war?
The corporate war machine that thrives from victimizing innocent civilians and arming proxy groups that later become its enemies sets itself out to do one thing—make enormous profits from war and death. The Pope in 2013 called the Pentagon’s proposed war against Syria a commercial war for arms sales and is now silent?

Kennedy fired Dulles over the Bay of Pigs operation— an operation deliberately designed to fail and engineered to pressure Kennedy into full scale war with Cuba.
Dulles deliberately used CIA officers for the operation of the lowest third of the agency that did not even speak Spanish. The CIA officers had Arabic and German experience and went to Guatemala to train the Brigaidistas and Miami to train the Cuban exiles.
Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles designed the Bay of Pigs to fail in collusion with Chief of Naval Operations Arleigh Burke and Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer to push JFK into sending soldiers to invade Cuba and to back the rebels with U.S. bombing, in other words start a U.S. invasion of Cuba.
In an act of insubordination to civilian control of the military, Burke sent two battalions of soldiers on Navy destroyers off the coast of Cuba waiting to invade without first consulting Kennedy. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco was over, Kennedy fired Dulles and after releasing Dulles from his position, the CIA Director retired to his private mansion/layer estate where various of his former colleague spooks were seen coming and going in late 1961 after he was no longer with the company.
President Lyndon Johnson, who, in service of the war masters, escalated the Vietnam war after getting Congress to pass the Tonkin Gulf Resolution in response to the deliberately staged Tonkin Gulf Incident, assigned Allen Dulles to investigate Kennedy’s death and propound the lone gunman theory as part of the Warren Commission Investigation.
Kennedy didn’t want to send 60,000 soldiers to Laos to block the Ho Chi Minh trail since he received estimates that doing so wouldn’t make any difference in the fighting ability of the North Vietnamese or the National Liberation Front. CIA-backed General Phoumi Nosavan brought opium in from Burma and Kennedy’s cutting off of aid to the Royal Laotian government to bring Boun Oum and Nosavan into the coalition government and negotiating with neutralists and communists brought on the anger of the Joint Chiefs who wanted escalated war and the CIA wanted continued access to the opium trade. When Kennedy cut off aid, the Boun Oum Royal Laotian government and General Phoumi and the CIA relied even more on this illicit drug trade to finance their government. General Phoumi Nosavan was involved in the illicit opium trade of the Golden Triangle, so he wanted war since more war meant more covert operations and more covert operations lead to an increase in opium cultivation, so through sending in invading soldiers, this gave the CIA and General Phoumi Nosavan a guaranteed market for their opium through selling the drug to the troops. Kennedy believed that the CIA deliberately designed the Bay of Pigs to fail to lead the executive into further invading Cuba using invading soldiers and accelerated bombing of Cuba. Kennedy didn’t want to make a move in Laos which was so far if they didn’t make a move against Cuba, which was 90 miles away. CIA Director John McCone was against the Laos negotiations.
The CIA deliberately tried to provoke Kennedy into invading Laos through building up General Phoumi Nosavan’s forces at the northwest provincial capital of Laos, Nam Tha. Kennedy advised eight weeks before that building these forces up would invite a Pathet Lao attack and the Phoumi wouldn’t have the ability to supply his soldiers in the rainy season. The CIA wanted the Pathet Lao attack on the concentration of Phoumi’s troops because this provided the rational for the U.S. invasion of Laos that Kennedy didn’t want. Kennedy expelled CIA agent John Hasey from Laos.
The CIA through promoting the concentration of General Phoumi’s forces in Nam Tha to invite an attack wanted the destruction of the army it created to pressure Kennedy into invading Laos. This was a deliberate invitation of a Pathet Lao attack and CIA agents and State Department agents were against Kennedy’s attempted formation of a coalition government featuring rightists, neutralists and communists.
