Washington’s Secret Agendas
The public fell for the lie that the Taliban in Afghanistan are
terrorists allied with al Qaeda. Americans fought a war for 13 years
that enriched Dick Cheney’s firm, Halliburton, and other private
interests only to end in another Washington failure.
The public fell for the lie that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had “weapons
of mass destruction” that were a threat to America and that if the US
did not invade Iraq Americans risked a “mushroom cloud going up over an
American city.” With the rise of ISIS, this long war apparently is far
from over. Billions of dollars more in profits will pour into the
coffers of the US military security complex as Washington fights those
who are redrawing the false Middle East boundaries created by the
British and French after WW I when the British and French seized
territories of the former Ottoman Empire.
The American public fell for the lies told about Gaddafi in Libya. The formerly stable and prosperous country is now in chaos.
The American public fell for the lie that Iran has, or is building,
nuclear weapons. Sanctioned and reviled by the West, Iran has shifted
toward an Eastern orientation, thereby removing a principal oil producer
from Western influence.
The public fell for the lie that Assad of Syria used “chemical
weapons against his own people.” The jihadists that Washington sent to
overthrow Assad have turned out to be, according to Washington’s
propaganda, a threat to America.
