America destabilizes the world 97 countries at a time

There is a continuing story spread by U.S. mass media propaganda and our Department of State and Pentagon that our military invades other countries to promote “Freedom and Liberation”. Anyone who has done some home work outside the veil of our duplicitous government and corporate owned media will quickly discern that the patently clear information speaks to the fact that the U.S. is the greatest barbaric terroristic imperialistic nation in the world. Our primary reasons for expanding our reign of terror throughout the world is protection of multi-national corporate interests, control of petroleum resources and minerals, enrichment of the Military Industrial Complex, and a strong signal to third world democratically elected governments that the spreading of benefits to their poor masses by taxing, nationalization, or pairing down the power elite will not be tolerated. Hugo Chavez who through U.S. mass media propaganda has been widely demonized, but in reality is a very popular leader in Venezuela and poses a threat by positive example to the oppressive power elite. George W. Bush has gotten the iconic insignia of being one of “Real Bad Guy” presidents, but in reality the stealth appearance of Barack Obama continues to promulgate world terror against 97 world nations. The following are excerpts from an article in Alternet.org news, a non corporate funded, very good source for more honest balanced information. The "arc of instability" includes 97 countries. A startling number of these nations are now in turmoil, and in every single one of them, from Afghanistan and Algeria to Yemen and Zambia, Washington is militarily involved, overtly or covertly, in outright war or what passes for peace. The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence services are also running covert Special Forces and spy operations, launching drone attacks, building bases and secret prisons, training, arming, and funding local security forces, and engaging in a host of other militarized activities right up to full-scale war. But while you consider this, keep one fact in mind: the odds are that there is no longer a single nation in the arc of instability in which the United States is in no way militarily involved. “Freedom is on the march in the broader Middle East,” the president said in his speech. “The hope of liberty now reaches from Kabul to Baghdad to Beirut and beyond. Slowly but surely, we're helping to transform the broader Middle East from an arc of instability into an arc of freedom.” “An arc of freedom”; you could be forgiven if you thought that this was an excerpt from President Barack Obama’s Arab Spring speech, where he said “It will be the policy of the United States to… support transitions to democracy.” Those were, however, the words of his predecessor George W. Bush. The giveaway is that phrase “arc of instability,” a core rhetorical concept of the former president’s global vision and that of his neoconservative supporters. In addition to waging more wars in “arc” nations, Obama has overseen the deployment of greater numbers of special operations forces to the region, has transferred or brokered the sale of substantial quantities of weapons there, while continuing to build and expand military bases at a torrid rate, as well as training and supplying large numbers of indigenous forces. Pentagon documents and open source information indicate that there is not a single country in that arc in which U.S. military and intelligence agencies are not now active. This raises questions about just how crucial the American role has been in the region’s increasing volatility and destabilization. Our presidents, irrespective of their political parties, become nothing more than “Puppeted dart boards” to catch the political flack that is created by the continuing malicious directives of the clandestine power elite. Given the centrality of the arc of instability to Bush administration thinking, it was hardly surprising that it launched wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and carried out limited strikes in three other arc states -- Yemen, Pakistan, and Somalia. Nor should anyone have been shocked that it also deployed elite military forces and special operators from the CIA elsewhere within the arc. Many of these covert wars carried on by our CIA are financed from the proceeds of illegal drugs that are laundered through major banks and corporations that result in the destabilization of many countries. It has been the Obama administration, however, that has embraced the concept far more fully and engaged the region even more broadly. Last year, the Washington Post reported that U.S. had deployed special operations forces in 75 countries, from South America to Central Asia. Recently, however, U.S. Special Operations Command spokesman Colonel Tim Nye told me that on any given day, America’s elite troops are working in about 70 countries, and that its country total by year’s end would be around 120. According to Pentagon documents released earlier this year, the U.S. has personnel deployed in 76 other nations sometimes counted in the arc of instability: Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Syria, Antigua, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. A decade’s evidence has made it clear that U.S. operations in the arc of instability are destabilizing. A recent Zogby poll of respondents in six Arab countries -- Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates -- found that, taking over from a president who had propelled anti-Americanism in the Muslim world to an all-time high, Obama managed to drive such attitudes even higher. Substantial majorities of Arabs in every country now view the U.S. as not contributing “to peace and stability in the Arab World.” Despite the salient lesson of 9/11-- interventions abroad beget blowback at home -- he has waged wars in response to blowbacks that have, in turn, generated more of the same. A recent Rasmussen poll indicates that most Americans differ with the president when it comes to his idea of how the U.S. should be involved abroad. Seventy-five percent of voters, for example, agreed with this proposition in a recent poll: “The United States should not commit its forces to military action overseas unless the cause is vital to our national interest.” In addition, clear majorities of Americans are against defending Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and a host of other arc of instability countries, even if they are attacked by outside powers. Using key buzzwords such “Freedom and Liberation”, “Nation Building”, and “Furthering Democracy”, the U.S. in reality has overtly done more to increase terrorism through violence, destroy a countries infrastructure, oppress and barbarize innocent civilians, False Flag 9/11 events, and xenophobic Muslim bashing than all the other combined forces in the world. Since WWII the U.S. has been directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of over 6 million innocent civilians through its covert and overt military operations. It is easy for Americans to demonize despots such as Hitler and Stalin for causing the deaths of millions of innocents, but our heavy handed foreign policy takes no back seat in brutality and destruction relative to these infamous dictators. If in fact if we put peace as higher priority than corporate and bankers greed and profit, and our own individual need to maybe be employed by, or profit from by the Military Industrial Complex than I believe the positive consequences will result in a more peaceful world.
