GUEST: Eric Draitser, independent political analyst, writer, and host of Counter Punch Radio, talks about the Obama-Biden-Clinton criminal conspiracy to overthrow Gaddafi and destroy Libya.
The Plot Against Libya
Was it just oil? Or was it a combination of politicians eager to make a name for themselves? Was it the recolonization of Africa by getting rid of the country that was the most successful bulwark against US and EU imperialism?
Eric Draitser has been researching war crimes in Africa for a number of years, and he spins an interesting tale of just how such disasters occur. And it doesn't seem to matter which party in the US is in charge at the moment. Yes, the targets might be different, but the overarching use of military force is just the same.
And the results of such military invasions? The US is responsible for a string of human disasters going back 70 years. It is almost like our country caught perpetual war from the German and Japanese empires. It wasn't long before we were slaughtering millions in Korea. The came the massive bloodletting in Vietnam.
At times in US recent history, we have depended on coups and assassinations instead of military invasion. Guatemala is an example of a US backed coup that overthrew an elected president, and then went on to slaughter at least 200,000. The same thing happened in Indonesia, with kill lists supplied by the CIA. The American Century will one day be seen as a time of unimaginable mass killings around the world. How is it that the American people are so unaware?
Ever wonder how the Germans lived with themselves during the Holocaust? Consider how little the citizens of our own country think about the millions of people their military has murdered since World War II.
