This site is not Anti American.... It is anti US Foreign Policy. Under GW Bush and his cabal of fellow board members the US has plummeted to new depths in the deception of its US citizens to carry out dangerous and dishonest acts abroad.

Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be Displaced, tortured, killed or “disappeared”, at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame. Amnesty International, 1996 |

AMERICA WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND THEY ARE US !

Marines. Most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I helped

WHO ARE THE OTHER PERPETRATORS OF SO CALLED "INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM" ?
As the old saying goes
“one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist” Can
Ronald Reagan and
other US Presidents be called terrorists, or even
War Criminals
Putting aside the many other dark
deeds of the US government and it’s foreign policy arm, the CIA, I will take one
example of
In a November 1935 article in Common Sense, retired marine general Smedley D. Butler blamed the Corporation of Brown Brothers, Harriman for having the U.S. marines act like 'racketeers' and 'gangsters' in order to exploit financially the peasants of Nicaragua. . . . Only the tactics have changed

Sister Sandra Price, a US Nun working in Nicaragua wrote: "On 25 March 1986 a group of Contra took one of our Catholic catechists, Donato Mendoza, from his home. Two kilometres on they castrated him, gouged out his eyes, pulled out his fingernails, and cut the flesh from his legs, broke every bone in his body, and shot him...." This horrific brutality was suffered by one man but, the aim was to terrorise the rest of the community, to spread fear and hence gain compliance and submission of the populace. Paramilitary acts are described by the FBI and George Bush in the US (world) description of terrorism.

In the years 1982-1985, 3,346 children and adolescents were killed by the Contra, and 6,236 children lost both or one parent. 1000 Nicaraguan army deaths. 600 Nicaraguan civilian deaths. 2,400 Nicaraguans wounded or abducted by the Contra. (It should be noted that most people abducted by the Contra would be tortured, raped and killed (in the most barbarous ways) 98 adult education teachers killed. 171 adult education teachers kidnapped. 15 primary teachers killed and 16 kidnapped. 14 schools destroyed. 840 adult education centres closed. 354 schools closed 18 doctors and nurses killed, including two Europeans, killed since 1981. 19 health centres in North Zelaya forced to close since 1981. 7 health centres destroyed in Region1, and ambulances from Ocotal and El Jicaro ambushed and destroyed. 4 health centres totally destroyed in Region 6, and 9 out of action because of danger to staff. Figures from 1985 Oxfam publication “Threat of a good example” When Samoza fled Nicaragua to his masters in the US, it is reported that he arrived with around $900 million in his pocket! I personally cannot think of any other words to describe the aforementioned actions other than, state interventionist terrorism. |

The overall death toll in Nicaragua would amount to 30,000. This one episode in US foreign policy deaths far outnumbers the 3000 or so killed on the 11 September attack! It does seem that the only body bags that matter are the ones with the Stars and Stripes draped over them? "- even though more Iraqi children die every month, mostly as a result of the Anglo-American embargo, than the total number of dead in the twin towers, a truth that is not allowed to enter public consciousness. The killing of Iraqi infants, like the killing of Chechens, like the killing of Afghan civilians, is rated less morally abhorrent than the killing of Americans". John Pilger, The truths they never tell us. |

According to Ronald Reagan the Contra were “Freedom Fighters” If we apply the same logic to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban, they must also be “freedom Fighters” !!!! and if not, then Ronald Reagan must also be considered a terrorist! |

FBI definition of terrorism The FBI defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force or violence committed by a group or individual, who has some connection to a foreign power or whose activities transcend national boundaries, against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a national government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives" The FBI definition, although meant to describe acts directed against the United States, would seem to cover rather well countless acts of the US itself.

This Critique may give the impression that the US is the only wrongdoer in the world, it is not. Countries such as Russia with it's outrageous brutal intervention in Chechnya and other "former" soviet satellites do not go unnoticed. China too is on the role call. Europe too is also given, since the bloody days of colonialism, to meddling in other sovereign countries affairs. But now, the US, the worlds only imperial superpower and rogue state is in danger of going into overdrive. The US spends more on military expenditure than all of it's listed seven potential "enemies" adding also Russia and China. This staggeringly obscene amount totals $310.06 billion. Amounting to $589, 802 spent on the military every minute. This amount is the average spent throughout the Cold War from 1946 to 1989! A world once divided into two armed camps now recognizes one sole and pre-eminent power, the United States of America. And they regard this with no dread. For the world trusts us with power, and the world is right. They trust us to be fair, and restrained. They trust us to be on the side of decency. They trust us to do what's right. George Bush, 1992 As someone who observes US foreign policy, the above statement is pure PR and Spin. I for one do regard this with dread and, it worries the hell out of me. But, at least I have the benefit of not being a "lesser" person living on land that is rich in oil or minerals!! Here's James
Woolsey,
Concerning September 11, 2001
END WORD Since putting up this page at the end of 2001 we have seen the muscle bound superpower flexing its muscles around the globe. From waging a totally dishonest war, waged by a totally dishonest cabal of US Politico/Businessmen ensconced in the Whitehouse by a fraudulent election, to bully boy tactics to force the rest of the world to see things the US way. As International Terrorism now replaces the old rallying war cry of International Communism we still have no progress on US foreign policy hypocrisy. After no trace of WMD in Iraq (the very reason for invasion) we are told the back up lie of "Saddam is a bad man who kills and tortures his own people" well yes we, or some of us knew that because our governments supported him while he was doing it!!! And just like the ethics (or lack of) involved with the Cold war we have a duplicate set involved with this new "War on Terrorism" Take for example a report by the US Department of State in 1999 concerning Uzbekistan.
So how come that Karimov is best friends with GW Bush and his cabal? How come Uzbekistan is receiving financial support from the US who also sells him weapons? How come the US ,along with my own government (UK) goes to great lengths to hush up Karimovs abuses and repression? Again and again and again hypocrisy is the only word that comes to mind. |
Offended & Outraged? – Go here to somewhere more in keeping with your thinking!
The
dealings of the United States have not always been obvious and honest. There is
the land, the people, and then, its 
make Mexico
safe for oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti
and 
what I would class as
state terrorism. Nicaragua in the late 1970s, the US
installed dictator, Anastasio Samoza lost power In a popular people’s
revolution. The US,
the defacto rulers of Nicaragua for the last 100 years, did not like losing one
of its spheres of influence. So, under Ronald Reagan a small disgruntled
minority group by the name of Contra were turned into a large brutal mercenary army to suit
the needs of US
policy. The aim of the US and the Contra would be to destabilise the economy of Nicaragua
and terrorise its people. Under Samoza and his brutal regime the illiteracy rate
stood at 70%, health care for the majority was beyond reach and poverty was
rife. The new Nicaraguan Sandinista Government undertook a massive health care and
literacy campaign to right some of the wrongs of 100 years of US interference.
So, the US government, through the Contra, set about destroying any programmes
that benefited the people. The US was desperate to prove that any form of
Socialism was oppressive could not benefit the people and, did not work, even if it had to use terror and
oppression to do it! With US spy satellite intelligence the Contra
specifically targeted schools Health centres and community centres. The murder
and torture of judge’s teachers and local officials was a prime directive from
the CIA ( as published in a US
