The planned economy collapses as the fishing industry declines, refugees fill the country, and the East Indies colonies are threatened by Japan. 1945. Vast world empire taken over by Spain�s King Philip II in 1580. Arguably more than 20 million, largely violent, deaths have happened since World War II, and the blood is mainly on the USA’s hands.� Others can argue for smaller numbers ( John Stockwell estimated about six million, before the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, while acknowledging how uncertain the numbers are), and America establishment defenders can be counted on to spin the Korean, Vietnam, and Iraq invasions into tales in which the USA was trying to protect the freedom of the world’s people.� The facts offer little support for such spin, but it is nevertheless performed.� During the 1960s and 1970s, the USA overthrew about ten elected Latin American governments, and installed death squad regimes in places such as Chile (see William Blum’s Killing Hope).� With its neocolonial empire, the USA has kept hundreds of millions of people in bondage.� Most Latin Americans live miserable lives as a direct result of the USA's interventions.� The same can be said for Indonesia, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa (such as Angola).� In some cases, the USA bears almost sole responsibility, such as in Southeast Asia, while in others, such as Angola, it was just one imperial player, although arguably the most meddlesome.� Hundreds of millions of people live under the boot of the USA today, or are still trying to recover from being violated, as they are in Southeast Asia.� The 1980s conflict in Afghanistan, as Zbigniew Brzezinski bragged about, killed more than one million Afghanis and directly led to the dire situation there in 2014, and the World Trade Center attacks are a classic instance of “blowback,” as our foreign policy shenanigans came back to haunt us.� “Hundreds of millions” may even understate the number that lives in misery as a direct result of the USA's actions since World War II. [267] The United States General Accounting Office issued a report titled "The War on Drugs: Narcotics Control Efforts in Panama" which estimated drug traffic through Panama may have doubled during the two years following the USA's invasion of Panama.� The puppet government the USA installed in Panama was undoubtedly heavily involved in that drug trade, as do key elements in every government that has illegal drugs flowing through its nation.� [268] Studying the da rk netherworld of the USA's covert operations quickly brings the realization that the CIA has long been involved in drug running.� They did it in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War era.� They did it during the USA-sponsored wars in Central America in the 1980s, and are undoubtedly doing it in the 21st century.� George Bush the First was involved in covert operations probably since he was a child.� To get an idea of George Bush's pedigree, read the Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime Family Exposed, by Russell Bowen.� Bush ran the CIA in the 1970s, and Noriega was on his payroll at that time.� The Carter administration kicked Noriega off its payroll, but the Reagan-Bush administration not only put him back on the payroll but gave him a raise.� Drug running is an effective way to raise money for covert operations and not have the funding subject to public scrutiny.� Back when George Bush was running for president in 1988, Brett Kimberlin, a federal prison inmate in Oklahoma, claimed that Dan Quayle was a regular marijuana customer of his in the early 1970s.� As Kimberlin was preparing for a press conference a few days before the election, prison officials suddenly canceled the press conference and threw Kimberlin into solitary confinement, in an obvious and illegal move to kill the story (see Martin Lee and Norman Solomon’s Unreliable Sources, pp. 162-167).� The Iran-Contra scandal brought to light many dark acts.� One revelation that came out, which the USA's government tried stifling, was that while America was running arms to our mercenary Contras in Central America, the pilots were flying drugs back to the USA.� An important airstrip those planes came back to was in Mena Arkansas, in the backyard of then governor Bill Clinton, who was possibly taking his cut, which is standard practice throughout America.� CIA contract agent John Hull had a ranch in Costa Rica where many of those shipments came through, going both ways.� Hull was deeply involved in the events that produced the Iran-Contra scandal, and he eventually made Interpol's most wanted list due to his criminal activity engaged in on behalf of the USA (the USA refused to honor attempts to extradite him to face trial in Costa Rica).� CIA deep cover agent Gunther Russbacher said that Quayle was a regular visitor to Hull's ranch while the arms/drug transshipments took place, and was deeply involved in the operation.� Russbacher said, "Quayle was one of our bag boys." (see Rodney Stich’s Defrauding America, p. 307)� George Bush the First had the gall to say that he was "out of the loop."� The w ar on drugs has always been a fraud, and the biggest players have been the CIA, law enforcement, politicians, etc.� The British Opium Wars with China is a classic case of opening a new drug market by waging war against the nation trying to stop the drug from coming in.� In the 21st century, the world's largest official drug pusher was the USA. �During the Reagan-Bush years the USA's government used the threat of trade sanctions and other vengeance to the Asian nations of Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and South Korea to get them to open their nations to American tobacco companies, and they particularly targeted women and children.� Since the USA's muscle forced open those markets to American tobacco companies, the smoking rates in those countries, especially among teenagers, skyrocketed (see INFACT's Global Aggression, pp. 24-25).� As of 2014, for the past generation, I have seen innumerable smoking tourists in Seattle from those nations, who were victims of that campaign. [269] The CIA has been involved in dozens of foreign assassination plots (see William Blum's Killing Hope, p. 453).� There were American plans to assassinate Torrijos in the 1970s.� [270] See Mark Fried's "The Preppy Pirate", Lies of Our Times, December 1990, p. 10. [271] See William Blum’s Killing Hope, p. 304. [272] You can see the graves being exhumed in The Panama Deception.� For an analysis of the disgraceful way the New York Times handled the issue of civilian Panamanian casualties, see Gary Grass's "Panama: Laundering Casualty Figures", Lies of Our Times, December 1990, pp. 9-11. [273] See John Perkins’s Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, pp, 173-181. [274] Colin Powell even openly admitted it, saying that Hussein would put “his puppet in [and] everyone in the Arab world will be happy.”� See also Noam Chomsky's World Orders Old and New, pp. 13-14. [275] If one seeks support for that bold claim, reading my web site might be in order. [276] See David Fromkin's A Peace to End All Peace, particularly pp. 449-454.� On pp. 450-451, an American missionary cautioned Gertrude Bell, assistant to the commissioner of British India, "You are flying in the face of four millenniums of history if you try to draw a line around Iraq and call it a political entity!"� See also Geoff Simons’s Iraq: From Sumer to Saddam, especially pp. 148-189.� British High Commissioner Percy Cox drew the borders of Iraq and Kuwait in 1922, and he did so rather capriciously.� See also William Blum's Killing Hope, p. 321. [277] See Geoff Simons’s Iraq: From Sumer to Saddam, pp. 176-177.� [278] See Noam Chomsky's World Orders Old and New, pp. 13-14.� See also William Blum's Killing Hope, p. 321. [279] See, for instance, the chron ology in Geoff Simons’s Iraq: From Sumer to Saddam, pp. 328-330, regarding the escalation of the crisis and the many peace overtures and withdrawal offers that George Bush rejected.� The day after the Kuwait invasion, on August 3, 1990, Iraq declared that it would withdraw from Kuwait if nobody threatened them militarily.� On August 6, Saddam met with Joseph Wilson, an American diplomat, and gave him his assurances regarding Kuwait; Wilson then praised Iraq’s “professional standards.”� Saddam offered his first peace plan on August 12, which Bush immediately rejected.� On August 15, Iraq foreign minister Tariq Aziz offered to begin talks, and Bush again rejected the offer.� On August 28, King Hussein of Jordan proposed a peace plan.� Iraq accepted it; Bush rejected it.� On September 1, Libya proposed a peace plan, including the Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait; Bush rejected it.� September 19, King Hassan of Morocco proposed a peace plan; Bush rejected it.� On September 24, France proposed a peace plan.� Iraq responded positively; Bush rejected it.� On October 1, Bush said the U.
