solarhydrocan's JournalIt would be silly to think the CIA could have had a part in this...
Everyone knows they only do wet work in other countries
without the overt use of U.S. military force. Often, such operations are tasked to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Regime change has been attempted through direct involvement of U.S. operatives, the funding and training of insurgency groups within these countries, anti-regime propaganda campaigns, coups d'état, and other activities usually conducted as operations by the CIA. The U.S. has also accomplished regime change by direct military action, such as following the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989 and the U.S.-led military invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Trained killers wouldn't even think of operating on US soil.
And none of this will ever come back around.
Because the US is Exceptional.
Those who question the right of the US to treat the rest of the world like a junkyard are Un American.
It was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in March 1960, after the January 1959 Cuban Revolution, and was presided over by Vice-president Richard Nixon.
The group included Frank Sturgis (who would later become one of the Watergate burglars); Felix Rodriguez (a CIA officer who later was involved in the capture and summary execution of Che Guevara); Luis Posada Carriles (held in the US in 2010 on charges of illegal immigration, he is demanded by Venezuela for his key role in the execution of the 1976 Cubana Flight 455 bombing); Orlando Bosch (founder of the counterrevolutionary Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations, that organized the 1976 murder of Chilean former minister Orlando Letelier); Rafael 'Chi Chi' Quintero; Virgilio Paz Romero; Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz; Bernard Barker; Porter Goss; and Barry Seal. Members took part in the April 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion directed against the government of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro.
Operation 40 had 86 employees in 1961, of which 37 were trained as case officers

USA USA USA!
a stunning must see video from 2007
But Obama says the TPP will be a good thing
it will "create more jobs" (for wall street?)
as a tax
the argument that the commerce clause allowed the government to mandate purchases *was* ruled unconstitutional
CNN: The Supreme Court rules Obamacare constitutional
"isolationistic" for wanting to keep jobs and Sovereignty .
No one but the jobless seem to care anymore anyway.
----Barack Obama
Isolationism does not mean what some want it to.
great post- some want more info and some do not.
Who wouldn't want more?

Can't really call themselves a "Constitutional Republic".
Seems there's the same split on every board- those who want more info and those who do not. And lots of those who do not also want to prevent others from learning more. Then there are those that don't give a crap about much of anything.
Authoritarian vs. Freedom. The new/old fight.
k/r well said
I really don't recognize the party anymore. Drone strikes, 24/7 surveillance, bank bailouts, so called "Free Trade" agreements and mandatory insurance.
And if you aren't on board with the above, you're somehow a winger or a fool.
It's like the "Mirror Mirror" episode of Star Trek where Kirk beamed back into an alternate universe and Spock was wearing a van dyke beard. And everything was the opposite of what it was supposed to be.
The least the party could have done is concentrate on Jobs before Mandates. But the word Jobs only appears around elections. And if a Republican had passed a law that required everyone to buy corporate insurance without a promised public option - and had doctors and nurses arrested for attending a hearing on single payer- not a single person here would support it. To think otherwise is truly absurd.
Strange days. And soon the payback for printing up $80 billion per month to buy bankers dirty paper (fraud) will start.
They need brosurance
from do you got insurance .com
and hope they don't have to go to the Keg-ER
