The 1973 United States-backed coup d 'etat in Chile

[the other mike]

A little history lesson for the kids.

The 1953 practice coup in Iran - another little event our school history books, our government and the media have kept largely hidden from public scrutiny.

Too bad the media wasn't so widespread back then. We could have done it easy, like the Russians and trolls did to us 2 1/2 years ago.

.......the US has messed in too much foreign crap and does not learn its lesson
we were friends with Iran--then enemies ---while friends with Iraq while helping Iraq fight Iran--then we fought Iraq.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
etc etc
....this is not to say the US is corrupt/evil/etc --it's just the way of the world
...the US spends the most helping the world [ to include carriers/etc helping in disasters ]

at least we were trying to help feed people in Somalia

Panama was legitimate--

Noriega even declared war on the United States — but even that didn't precipitate the invasion

etc etc
How Panama actually started its war with the United States

Iraq????!!!????
Saddam started not one--but TWO wars/attacked 2 countries
he gassed his own people
he did not abide by the cease fire of PG1
this is exactly what hitler did

This is all CIA stuff. LBJ let the CIA run the Vietnam War. How did that work out? The dirty little secret is that the Agency has forgotten it's original mission to analyze information and lazy administrations let the CIA run wild. In the mean time the CIA failed it's biggest test on 9-11 2001.
