Americans get an upside-down version of why we intervene in other countries. This American general was close enough to what was happening to be able to see through the lies we were being told.

(excerpt)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

Here are some more articles and videos that go into more detail. I've lived abroad for 19 years and in most places outside of the US political discussions are based on this kind of info. I've lived in Mexico City and Madrid and in those two places there's nothing more amusing than a group of Americans discussing politics.

Dude, you're posting this in the wrong forum. I'm sure the mods here would appreciate it if you posted this "information" in the Stupid Liberal Tricks forum initially as that's where all of your conspiridiocy theory bullshit is going to end up anyway.

Here's some stuff you should read about the mainstream American press.

You've been basing your opinions on misinformation all of your life. I know it's hard to admit you've been misled.

Don't feel bad. I fell for it too. I believed the official version of everything until I moved to California in the seventies. I started hanging out at universities and talking to foreign students. They all set me straight.
An American who believes the official version of everything and has never been in a situation in which he or she is able to learn the truth isn't dumb; the press does a good job of distorting reality. Just read the truth and verify it by talking to some foreigners and change your opinions. You're not dumb because you've never been in a situation in which you had access to objective information.

Using hardcore socialists & Anti-Americans to prove how evil the US is is rather pathetic. then to further embarrass yourself you site sources such as truthout.com which is anything but truth.

The 21st century. The age of Smart phones and Stupid people.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

[Not when you assault everyone with 1,001 links in one post. I don't have the time to waste to address all that crap. And crap it is, quite evidently.
It's not hard at all for me to admit I'm wrong, but the obvious victim of misinformation is you. Have a little honest look at what you believe and you'll find that YOU'VE been suckered BIG TIME!
Correction: you're STILL falling for it. You might want to check your backside for a "kick me" sign.
Newsflash: the best place to go for misinformation is a California university. Dood, you're not helping your case with these revelations.
Here's where we can agree. Now, can we agree that the media just suckered the nation into voting for the most underqualified poseur in history? Did you ever see such a distortion of reality with the Palin attacks and the Obama worship? But oh...you still voted for Obama, didn't you?
SUCKER!
You wouldn't know truth if it bit you in the...well, ANYWHERE! What would foreigners have to contribute to the mix? Fidel endorsed Obama. Hamas endorsed Obama. Thousands of foreigners told us to vote for Obama. It seems like we would have done much better if we didn't listen to these foreigners. They obviously don't have OUR best interests at heart!
You're dumb because you've got access to all sorts of information, yet you apparently cling to the idiocy spouted by numbskulls like Noam Chomsky. Sorry, you've totally blown your street cred here.
But...welcome to CU! At least you're free to express your opinions here, unlike most EVERY liberal site around. Tell me...who's afraid of the truth?? Certainly not us conservatives!Nothing says "idiot inside" better than an Obama/Biden bumper sticker.

I haven't read much else from truthout.com. I just found that article that talked about the history of the US and Iraq and it was consistent with what I hear from people who have travelled to that area.

It's about to get REAL evil. Coming to a theatre near you January 20th. For a sneak preview, just read about that other Chicago darling, Blogojevich.
Doesn't matter. The information on all of your links was probably already stale the day it was first posted.
Don't believe everything you read (or hear), especially if it comes from California university students.Nothing says "idiot inside" better than an Obama/Biden bumper sticker.
