“American foreign policy under Obama and Biden became a global assassination program: using bombs, drones and CIA, Pentagon and 16 more intelligence agencies, services, contractors and mercenaries to attack smaller and less powerful nations for profit.”

The last seven American presidents have misused American intelligence and military resources for illegal sanctions, attacks, bombings and invasions to enforce corporate extraction, exploitation and extortion. These crimes have made Americans the bad guys, with racists and thugs at the helm.

A History Lesson… https://thepeaceresource.com/2022/04/29/a-history-lesson/

The wars of aggression of Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden contain the accumulated evil of the torture in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the drone bombing of children at play, villages leveled by precision missiles and refugees drowned in the Mediterranean. Baghdad crumbled beneath the shock and awe of unstinting US bombing; Fallujah burned with white phosphorus. Genocidal attacks on Gaza and condoning starvation used as a tool of war.

The American mass media is complicit in these crimes. They never challenged the government’s assertions, but trumpeted its pretexts. They whipped up a war-frenzy in the public. Pundits who now denounce Putin were ferocious in demanding the United States help the Ukraine military bomb civilians in East Ukraine.

Howlin’ Wolf – Evil

The American empire may be expanding, but the economic foundations on which it rests are in fatal disrepair. As we contemplate imminent bankruptcy – moral as well as financial –

…The pattern of imperial consolidation – “humanitarian” wars of “liberation,” followed by occupation and the installation of American garrisons in the newly-integrated provinces – is not the inevitable result of some natural law in the evolution of great nation-states.

Support for oligarchs and the War on Drugs have impoverished millions and destabilized Latin America. The American empire is expanding, but the economic foundations on which it rests are in fatal disrepair. As we contemplate imminent bankruptcy – moral as well as financial –

Consequences of the Collapse of the Soviet Union

“The dissolution of the USSR left the U.S. as the only true world superpower, freeing the U.S. government from the constraints imposed by the existence of any threat from a powerful rival. This allowed the U.S. government to intervene militarily and otherwise in foreign countries without fear of major retaliation.”

Biden and Harris are exporting 56 unprovoked and avoidable corporate-American wars (economic and military aggression ranging from sanctions to contractors, mercenaries, troops and bombs) in Afghanistan, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Comoros, Cuba, Darfur, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gaza, Gulf of Guinea, Haiti, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, the West Bank, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

So what is the cure?

America can remove the CIA from Ukraine, suspend all U. S. sanctions and other acts of war against 56 nations and invest those trillions in securing peace, providing people with human services and creating conditions to support a healing planet.
