(229 posts)... just ask the Nancy Pelosi / Lindsey Graham team, when they aren't pretending to be on opposite teams, and laughing at those who buy the wedge-issue bull used to form the hallucination - as they work together to END the US Middle Class AND the Bill of Rights.
To Your List, add:
The CIA's "Operation Gladio" - blowing up train-stations in Belgum, and generally massacring innocents across Italy and the rest of Western Europe to "false-flag blame" any political party not run by the Transnationals.
Also, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff's proposal to Kennedy called "Operation Northwoods" - to attack American passenger planes, navy ships, and blow-up shopping malls to blame on Castro. Kennedy / McNamara said, "no."
On that tangent, show any daylight between actual foreign-policy decisions - not speeches - between Rethugs and Democrypts with the exception of the last Kennedy year? And we saw what happened when daylight appeared, in that case (though he had plenty of other enemies). The fact that the Council on Foreign Relations has staffed key positions in the State Dept for both 'parties' for the last 100 years - an organization formed and run by Rockefeller, and having directors like Cheney, and harboring war-criminals like Kissinger and Brzezenski - might have something to do with it. Also consider US press-leaders participation in that organization (CNN's Amanpour, long-list-here), and their scripted coverage of US-wars, CIA-supported death-squads, and other forms of US-state-sponsored terrorism.
