There have been so many acts of terrorism by the United States over the last several years that have really demolished any claims that the United States has on any type of moral authority within the confines of this planet. For me it started with Julian assange in his release of the video of US soldiers targeting journalists in Iraq, even if by accident, and has gone downhill from there. After he having seen that, my eyes were opened and I started inspecting other events that had occured over the last several decades. For example, the use of depleted uranium and what it did in Falusia and Basra in Iraq is a war crime that cannot be erased from history, and the assassination of Michael Hastings and many other acts of terror on the part of the United States. There are so many other domestic acts of terrorism by the United States including the spree of assassinations that took place in the 60s in the United States starting with the assassination of John f Kennedy that can not be ignored as well. It's a sad testiment to what happens when ultimate power corrupts ultimately. I frankly do not know what we can do to unwind this I guess we have to take our punishment and move on. What that punishment is is yet to be determined. No country is Free from evil, it is all around us and the best we can do is continue to fight it. Some, like my mother, choose to pray. I, though I do pray for change, on the other hand would prefer to speak out and speak out frequently.
Book "Covert Regime Change: Americans Secret Cold War"
by Lindsay A. O'Roque
64 regime changes between 1947-1989. How many more since then?
From the statement at Cornell University Press.
"In the book, O’Rourke explores the differences between overt and covert regime change, and argues that conventional focus on overt cases misses the basic causes of regime change. To illustrate her point, she examines the 64 times the U.S. attempted covert regime change—mostly through covert means—between 1947-89, the period encompassing the Cold War era.
U.S. covert operations during the Cold War were unsuccessful more than 60 percent of the time and most failed to remain covert, often resulting in unforeseen, and disastrous, consequences, according to O’Rourke, who found that states targeted for regime change were more likely to experience civil war in the 10 years following intervention."
