Historian William Blum

"From 1945 to 2003, the United States attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting against intolerable regimes. In the process, the U.S. bombed some 25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair."


Wow! Seems the U.S. has a history of being quite the bully!

Anyone read this book?

Nope,but the "Histerian" ought to have been hung by his heels with his Buddy Phil for revealing all those names of the CIA operatives.
What was that Punk thinking?


And supporting Ralph Nader isn't exactly a recommendation.

Not being mean but could you also put in who was who and where was where in this thread? I am a little loony and would like to know what was going on during this time, I am assuming you know since you know this much. Thank you.

I'm just looking for a date.

On a serious note though, when my country is being ridiculed I still like to see what was going on, there seems to be today, and has been a lot of bashing the United States and I would like to see the "whys" of what people put threads up? is there a reason for the United States doing what they have done. Facts are Facts and if you are going to prove the end give me a start.That is all.

Some Info here:

and click on the Philip Agee link as well

I'm single. just figured I would post that,,I can make these threads work for me....

You dog, you....

I guess you will have to read the book to find out.

This thread is concerning the book, "Killing Hope" by William Blunn.

OI! DON'T GO DISSING US PUNKS!

AMERICANS NEED TO STOP CALLING ASSHOLES PUNKS!

Thank you Woody

Back at ya, bud!!

Sorry Man,that was NO Reflection on you?

I am sorry Healthy,but killing hope is when an American puts up forums dissing their own country.I dont want to fight or make u mad,but this is a big problem in America .we have enough from other countries doing this without us doing it.

moon, I believe in exposing the deeds of darkness.

I am not here to diss the country that I love! I am an American Patriot. Fact is, there are people who are hard at work to remove U.S. Sovereignty! David Rockefeller and the Council on Foreign Relations, an organization which he founded, are here for that exact purpose!

They are the ones who secretly run our government. I have posted on this previously, several months back. The instructions for Foreign Policy have already been written and will be given to the next President after he takes oath. I found this info on the CFR website.

Fact is, the U.S. has done these things, mentioned in this book. It is historical record. We have not realized it as perhaps we have not kept a record personally. But History does keep records. How is this information dissing our country? It is not. It is exposing truth. We may not enjoy finding out about that truth. It may hurt our American pride.
For me, it makes me very angry! Angry that we believe we are such a "peace loving" nation only to find out we are Tyrants to the world! Our governments, military and private militaries foam at the mouth to war with the world, in the name of Democracy. I would like that they practice a little of this Democracy here at home!!!
I know, its a hard revelation to wake up to, but this has been going on for a long time. Let's all get mad that we have been decieved!!!

I love you moon and I know that you hold nothing back, you speak your mind. I like that about you. Just wanted you to know my reasoning. The light exposes the darkness!

The other excellent book from William Blum is Rogue State; A Guide to the World's Only Superpower.
Here's another good one for anyone who does like to read:
Invasion Of The Party Snatchers: How the Holy Rollers and the Neo-Cons Destroyed the GOP by Victor Gold 2007, published by Sourcebooks Inc.
P.O box 4410 Naperville, Illinois 60567-4410 www.sourcebooks.com
I makes an excellent companion 'twin' to the book 'American Fascists: The Christian Right and The War On America' by Chris Hedges.

Foreigners are concerned about the things that happpen.
What happens in the Stated afects the rest of the world.
That is why we are sticking our nose at times in the US politics.
More than at any other time emotions run high because of the elections.
I believe this will be different, less so, once the die has been cast.
