Mike112769 no foreign power making bases or doodoo in other people’s countries “does well.”

Just imagine if it had been the Chinese in Sacramento or Boston to “keep the peace” and “rout out terrorists” had been there for 20 years while “elections” went on and people lived a worse life than they had before. All the time it being publicized by China that “things are freer than ever before” was everywhere. An people were getting on the global TV talking about how their lives had been made better by that intervention. You on the other hand know almost no one who is “better off” unless they are collaborators. Bought and paid for or just total sellouts to the new masters of their destiny. While vicious assaults go on all the time. Whether from revolutionaries, criminals or the reprisals by the better armed Chinese who blow up entire neighborhoods in retaliation then blame the bombers for starting it.

Does any of that sound familiar to the real world with just some substitutions of occupying country and occupied?

I don’t blame them for not wanting us there. We don’t have a very good track record when we establish a base somewhere. We tend to look for a reason to use it, and keep it there forever. Let’s save some real money and close all of our foreign bases. Bring our troops home.

The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.

How prescient!

Yes, Obama said he wanted to close the Potempkin prison* but did nothing to facilitate it. Congress seeing no plans didn’t forward the money. So much hot air and nothing done. The gesture had been made and nothing more. We can “blame” the Congress even though no plans were drawn up to close it. However it is our only bleary eye into the otherwise hidden prison system. Smart eh?

Smart like Machiavelli, evil smart. The few who want us to stop building an empire aren’t enough to affect change. That is the plan.

*From the Potempkin Village that was just for show while the real horrors went on out of sight.

The next piece of the global chess match for control. Columbia, as in Plan Columbia is being used to turn it into a base from which the American soon-to-be empire can reach out again to manipulate those recalcitrant “children” in need of discipline from the Father. The usually, mostly Great White Father.

Watch more of the S. American nations finally turning away from the USA’s drug war. Argentina is now leaving pot smokers alone, a first. It goes back to Nixon‘s reinvigoration of the drug war started in 1914, and the laws in influence that came out from him.

We need to choke off the money to the national security state. Trillions going to it with little fanfare or contraversy while every little bit of money to health care is fought over as “too much.”

All of our Presidents of the last 100 yrs except Carter(Annapolis) and Truman(Kansas) have attended Harvard or Yale.  So I’m sure Obama was thoroughly vetted by the ruling elite, but I wonder if he really new how little power he would have, and that the Military Industrial Complex would be where he got his marching orders?  Chavez is actually using his nations resources (oil) for the people that rightfully own it.  That can’t stand under our system.
