Feb 2012

we have other security organizations and the FBI. I mean we've got the bay of pigs fiasco, the gulf of tonkin fabrication, and how many DEMOCRATICALLY elected leaders have been purged, because they didn't represent the elite's business interests? I'd say american, but it seems that the majority of americans actually get burned, also. Vietnam, Iraq, el salvador, death squads, iran-contra, bcci and the horrendous, inhumane mind control experiments using americans. We inadvertently help fund their sordid games and die in their games. Yet, it seems not to help the US or its' people; but aid corporate interest or the MIC.
