Our foreign policy, after the War of 1812, was based on lies, & was not meant to protect & defend America, but rather, to benefit big-banks, the military-industrial complex, & Israel & Saudi Arabia. Big banks: ALL WARS ARE BANKERS' WARS!
Israel & Saudi Arabia:
The Military-Industrial Complex:
Why we are at war in Syria:
Syria what is really going on and why
As for Afghanistan, it’s mainly for control over an oil pipeline & to control opium trade, the latter of which the Central Intelligence Agency needs to get extra money from to fund Black Operations without needing to ask congress; Why is the US still in Afghanistan? And what is the US doing in Afghanistan in the first place? Do you realize how much governments lie to us to go to war. James Corbett of Corbettreport (& Ryan Dawson of Anti-NeoCon Report) has done awesome videos on this issue.

As for the Vietnam war, watch the video “Did America "lose" Vietnam War? That's not what it was about”.
As for Saddam Hussein, he was actually our ally before the end of the 1980’s or beginning of the 1990’s against Iran. We supplied him with weapons, even chemical weapons for a war against Iran that he started. United States support for Iraq during the Iran–Iraq War - Wikipedia
As for Syria, it was becoming more democratic since the late 2000’s before The War. (2:04:39)
World War Two was not a “good” war. It was a war between power hungry governments (I am NOT, in any way, shape, or form, attempting to justify, excuse &/or downplay human rights violations by the Axis powers). Here’s an excerpt from Sut Jhally will not be coming to LA (his letter to me); “The US did not enter WWII to save the Jews. They didn’t care about any particular ethnic minorities. They had their own economic interest. They had their own post war propaganda too. Yes even America lies. The death toll done by the Axis has been played up and the death toll by the allies has been played down. There is no way in a city of 380k that Hiroshima’s instantaneous bombing killed only 100k people. The post war starvation in all the losing countries is also glossed over. The only thing separating Allied crimes from Axis crimes is the Holocaust. Otherwise its just like WWI a pointless war of imperialist fighting each other by sacrificing their poor. Both my grandparents were in that war one killing Nazis one killing Japanese. The one sent to Germany was also in the Korea War. His father was in WWI and his grand father was in the Civil War. He helped invent the submarine. And his ancestors were in the Revolutionary War. Betty Washington married into our family. A Dawson was chancellor of W&M when Thomas Jefferson went to school there. My mother’s dide was opposite all American Indians and a few pirates. I remember asking my surviving grandfather about WWII and Korea. I thought he was a hero. He said, “no, Ry by the time I was in Germany they were just starving. They used to send little girls to the kitchen begging for food, after the war.” Did you give them any?” No,” he hung his head. How about Korea? Weren’t use in a tank? Yes we had three tanks, but listen to me and don’t forget this. “There was no point or purpose of that war.” That’s all he would say about it. And later I found out he had pulled dead North Koreans out from where they had shelled them and looking at them and how young they were he just cursed the whole situation. My Native grandfather I never met but he was island hopping and burned Japanese to death with a flame thrower. He was shot through the leg but lived. Ironically I married a Japanese woman and had a child. I feel like I gave one life back. Please don’t confuse Eric Hunt with Kyle Hunt. Kyle Hunt is racist white nationalist trash. Eric is a school teacher and historical revisionist. Yes he gets trashed on the internet again so what everyone does who talks about politics. He doesn’t deny the Holocaust. He just doesn’t think it was six million. No one studying it actually does. That ought to be good news. I am happy believe less people died and many of them made it out. Raul Hilberg placed the number at 5.5m people and that’s the highest it ever was. I had a different revisionist on right after, Dave Stein, saying Majdanek probably did have gas chambers and that though the gas disguised as showers was a war time myth that’s not a reason to dismiss gas chambers and that that spot had previously had them but they were destroyed. We have witnesses and confessions from these other camps. No one sane would deny it. We also had false claims about the western camps like Dachau which did not have gassing saying they did then later admitting they did not. It did have thousands of people worked to death and shot. They were also marched to the Tegernsee camp and killed over there. It’s important to point these things out and explain them because naysayers will point to evidence of labor camps which did exist and then say ah ha they were all like that. They were not. I’m the guy actually engaging these people instead of screaming racist and dropping the mic and walking away. That simply doesn’t work. I got Eric to admit on record millions were killed. I met Marc Gould who befriended Nazis and turned on them and put them in jail. He spoke at the Knesset and has one of the only two 100% voted they ever made which was to convict SS Lieutenant Colonel Bernhard who Marc had befriend. The press completely turned on him and attacked him because he released info about the Holocaust that Frank had records of showing names of people who had died with kill orders and stamps. It wasn’t the number they wanted and so he has been attacked. Now I know this guy. He’s Jewish and very proud of it, he has three daughters. I’ve met them. He doesn’t have a ill bone in his body. but google his name and look at what has been said about him. No one will defend these people, because it is easier to throw them under the bus and not get associated with it. I interviewed David Cole too who had the shit beat out of him by the JDL on Thanksgiving when he was walking home form the grocery store. He’s also Jewish. I have been to his home and seen his dying mother who was about 90lbs sleeping in the kitchen. He takes care of her. He and Hunt do not get along but both at some point in their life have reduced the numbers killed in the Holocaust and for that lost everything. It isn’t right. Even if both were wrong it’s not right. I have a great number of videos defending Jewish people on my channels from the insane collectivism they must put up with. I have to make these from time to time because if you defend Palestine it must be because you hate jews.” Look into the works of the author & historian Tom Goodrich, who has written about the human rights atrocities committed by the allies during World War II (trust me, it is far worse than you think. As for why he doesn’t write about Axis human rights abuses, they’re already well-known & talked about to the point where it would be redundant for him to talk about). Here’s a couple of talks between Goodrich & Dawson:
Non-interventionism is NOT the same as Isolationism. Non-interventionism means that we do not get involved in the affairs of foreign countries (especially if they don’t effect us), which is different from Isolationism, which is abstaining from having relationships with foreign countries. As for “humanitarian interventionism”, there is no real incentive for a government to seriously care about people living in foreign countries. Let alone rather or not if it can actually fix the problems of foreign countries. People living under terrible governments today must find freedom on their own (we can’t make a people free if they aren’t ready for it). That's how many places in Latin America have gotten away from being dictatorships.
Also, trading with countries, improving their (& our) living standards can also prevent wars. Lookup “capitalist peace”. I myself am a Junior Reserve Officer’s training Corps Cadet (something I shouldn’t even be mentioning out of professionalism). I know a lot of people from the unit that I’m in who are joining the United States Military. I don’t want them to need to go to an unnecessary war, worrying rather or not they’ll come back alive, worrying about if they come back alive if they’ll get any permanent injuries, worrying about if they’ll come back with a mental disorder (ie PTSD) they they may have to live with for the rest of their lives for some war that they don’t even understand becuase the government that hired them doesn’t have the curtousy to be honest about what they’re doing & why they are doing what they are doing. I recommend watching the documentary The Empire Unmasked (which costs $20, I believe). It is the ultimate documentary to watch to understand post-WW2 American foreign policy.
Same with Sydney Talk: War Architects and Profiteers.
To wrap this up, I’d like for you to know how much war is hurting your wallet; U.S. Spent $5.6 Trillion on Wars in Middle East and Asia: Study
When it comes to most of the terrorism in the world today, the video ‘Modern terrorism how the CIA NATO use rent-a-terrorist’ explains most of this issue;
DIA admits the West supported the creation of ISIS;
UK bombing reaction and thoughts about assimilation (12:22), & Judging groups collectively, comments welcome (11:36) explain the issue good enough.
Before foreign governments meddled in the middle east, the middle east was doing fine and didn't have war and religious fanatics quite like what they do now. In fact, at least some places were more secular pre-Cold War than now. For a small example, as shown at 7:29 of the video “Alex Jones back to the Woodshed”, there were women in the middle east who dress up in ways that religious fanatics wouldn't allow. Furthermore, when it comes to the specific issue of Muslims talked about in “Alex Jones back to the Woodshed”, skip around 7:28, 10:23, 15:42, 19:42, 26:19, 31:14, 36:35, 46:11, 1:15:15, 1:27:02, & do so whenever the clips of Alex Jones talking starts.
People can turn to religion for a number of reasons. Commonly, they're uneducated, so they're more likely to be superstitious, they're grown up seeing violence around them, so they're desensitized to violence & feel that it's more acceptable, or, from time-to-time, don't see much of a point in life outside of religion. Hence, how we see religious fanatics thrive outside of the developed world more often.
On certain sites, especially BareNakedIslam or Walid Shoebat's sites, a lot of the information posted there are actually proven to be part-truths at best, & often outright lies. Many of them try to make it seem like Muslims are attacking Christians & Jews & promote tribalism not unlike Neo-Nazi sites such as the DailyStormer (which I'd like to see a comparison between it & BareNakendIslam). A friend of mine, Allyson (formerly Allyson Abu-Hajar) created a Pinterest board dedicated to debunking lies spread by these sites, which is Don't Believe Everything You Hear!. Podcasts & articles for more information: How To Reduce Terrorism. Motivation for Jihad. The truth about Brigitte Gabriel. Homegrown terrorism is rooted in US actions, not Islam. Just ask the FBI. Why do so many Americans fear Muslims? Decades of denial about America's role in the world. Jon Schwarz on the connection between Americans’ fear of Muslims and ignorance of foreign policy Why ISIS wants you to hate Muslims. 'Islamic Extremism' Alienates Most in Muslim World. Muslim Blowback? The Islamophobia Excuse. US Muslims More Tolerant, Opposed to Violence Than Other Faiths. American Muslims Against Shariah Law in US Courts, Study Finds. The Overblown Terror Threat. This is an excerpt from the PrisonPlanet article "Muslims Are Good Folks" (though I have no intention of protecting ideology: only stopping hate from turning violent); "[Sunni] Islam is not a religion with a hierarchy such as the Roman Catholic Church. In that respect, Muslims are much like Southern Baptists, only more so. Any group of Muslims can build a mosque and hire themselves an imam, or teacher. They are independent. There is no Muslim pope or College of Cardinals. There are no bishops. When an imam somewhere issues a fatwa, which is a sort of formal opinion on a subject, it is not binding. Like Protestant Christians, Muslims interpret their holy writings themselves and consider themselves answerable directly to God – or, to use the Arabic word, Allah. Most of the disputes in the Middle East are secular and political. Hamas’ quarrel with Israelis is not about the fact that they are Jews but about the fact that they occupy Palestine. The objections some Muslims have to Western culture are the same as those some Christians have. They don’t like the violence, the immorality, the pornography and the greed. The conflict one sees between the religious and the secular in some Muslim countries is similar to the conflict in this country between religious and secular folks. There are 6 million or 7 million American citizens who are Muslims. Muslims have been in this country since the late 19th century. If you don’t already, you should make an effort to get to know Muslims. You’ll find that they don’t fit the stereotypes created by mean-spirited propaganda or superficial news coverage." Not only did Muslims, Jews, & Christians live in the middle east lived in relative peace thousands of years before the Cold War (the situation isn't as good as, say, in the U.S.A., but better than now), but also, even today, there are a number of Muslims who are sensible enough to coexist, & sometimes, even unite with their Christian neighbors.
A few dedicated critics of Islam that I would reccomend are Secular Jihadists, IntrovertedSmiles, Abdullah Sameer, Veedu Vidz, Farhan Qureshi, & JajaborTheRevolution, with EazyOnMe & CosmicSkeptic getting honorable mentions. I admit that I am biased in this, considering how almost all of them are atheists & I myself am an atheist. Though another reason for me recommending them is that they don’t seem like that they have much of an ax to grind & aren’t politically hyper-polarized & hyper-partisan.
“Theatrical props and dramatic rhetoric aside, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent presentation on the “Iranian nuclear deal” in fact contained no new information. That Iran had explored a nuclear weapons program prior to 2003 has been known and admitted for years. That they have an archive of this information is not a violation of the Iranian nuclear deal completed in 2015. In fact, if anything, Netanyahu’s presentation actually proved the exact opposite of what was intended: Namely, that Iran is abiding by the terms of that treaty and is not covertly pursuing any nuclear weapons activity. That’s why they had to go back to 15-year-old information and present it as if it was something new and revelatory.” “Hand-wringing over Iran’s nuclear program is nothing new. It became a mainstay of Western political discourse after an Iranian dissident revealed the Iranian government’s plans for a uranium enrichment facility in Natanz in August 2002. But the surprising fact for Americans and others around the world who get their information from the corporate mainstream media, is that Iran’s pre-2003 nuclear weapons program has long been known and admitted. Since 2003, when the program was scrapped, not a single piece of evidence has been presented (not even by Netanyahu or the Israeli government) that the Iranian government ever pursued anything other than what it said it was pursuing: a nuclear energy program. Not that that fact has ever stopped Netanyahu from using any opportunity to use cartoon-level propaganda tactics to convince the world otherwise”. “Of course, Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons, and Netanyahu’s Wile E. Coyote bomb and red-line warnings bore no greater semblance to reality than the cartoon propaganda surrounding Saddam’s “weapons of mass destruction.” Not only did the IAEA repeatedly confirm that Iran never diverted any nuclear material into any military program, but even the US intelligence community itself conceded that Iran was not trying to build a nuclear bomb. Most remarkable of all was Mossad’s own assessment that Iran was “not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons.” As I detailed earlier this year in “We Need to Talk About the Iran Protests,” fearmongering over Iran’s non-existent nuclear weapons program was the basis for an extraordinary series of measures against the country in recent decades. These measures include “NITRO ZEUS,” a full-scale military cyberattack against Iran, the best-known element of which was Stuxnet, the military-grade cyberweapon co-developed by the United States and Israel that specifically targeted Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz. Iran’s non-existent nuclear program also provided the pretext for sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s economy, including the de-listing of Iranian banks from the Swift Network connecting the world’s financial institutions. The fearmongers even went so far as to plant evidence of nuclear weapons involvement on Iran to further justify these attacks.” But wait! There’s more! Some hard irony: “But perhaps the greatest irony of all is that it is Iran who has been arguing for decades that the Middle East should be a nuclear-free zone. The idea was first floated by the Shah in 1969 and was first formally proposed by Iran in a joint UN General Assembly resolution, but the idea failed to garner any support. The idea was again raised by then-Iranian President Ahmedinejad in 2006 and yet again by then-Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki in 2008, but these calls to banish nuclear weapons from the Middle East have not even been acknowledged by the West, let alone seriously considered.” Some 36 American Star Officers (Generals & Admirals), including General Mattis, agree that Iran is not trying to build a nuke. Generals Admirals support Iran deal at DuckDuckGo
IDF Generals, Israeli Scientists, Israeli Spies, & Israel’s own Nuclear Panel say it (I don’t think that it’s a coiencidence that they’re also not superpartistans for the Likud party): Israeli generals Iran deal at DuckDuckGo
(For this video, skip to 24:41)
Ali Khamenei has issued a Fatwa (a legal opinion or ruling issued by an Islamic scholar) against nuclear weapons, & Muslims are serious about Fatwas. Also, the type of centrifuges that Iran has & is using enriches uranium too slowly to viably produce serious nuclear weapons. Serious weapons-grade uranium must be enriched to 90%. Iran has only successfully enriched their uranium to about 20% (for medical radio isotopes), & the more uranium is enriched, the harder it gets to be enriched further. Ending the Iran Deal actually hurts America’s power, as that we are unable to trade with them.
So don’t incinerate both fellow Christians, &, gasp, God’s Chosen People to make yourself feel like some tough guy. None of this is to say that Iran is even a remotely free country. A prison that allows for a little bit of religious freedom is still a prison. I’m sure that you’re already well aware of the human rights abuses going on. I even think it’s appropriate to call Iran a shithole thanks to its government & the power of its religious institutions & how people accept having their lives ruled by , though I prefer to describe it more as a hellhole to emphasize how bad its human rights & liberty situation is rather than how bad its environment &/or standard of living is. “The Iranian revolution was not good. They went out of the kettle and into the fire. They left a foreign corporatocracy only to fall into the arms of a theocratic nightmare. They traded exploitive foreigners for local despots.” - Ryan Dawson’s response to a comment on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/posts/putting-america-18713842). And is Iran really a threat to us & world peace? WHO IS THE THREAT TO WORLD PEACE? CHRISTIANS, JEWS, OR MUSLIMS (The US, Israel, or Iran)! By Michael Rivero
Since the 1979 Iranian revolution and the downfall of the US Puppet Ruler the Shah, Iran has been an Islamic state. In that interval of time, 1979 to the present, Iran has not invaded anyone. Not once. In fact Iran has not launched a war of aggression against another nation in 200 years. War is not their nature. People of all religions live in peace in Iran, even Jews, who find life so comfortable in Iran they refused an offer by the government of Israel to emigrate! In the same period of time, Israel, a self-declared Jewish state, attacked Iraq in 1981, bombing the power station at Osirik, claiming it was a clandestine weapons factory. Subsequent examination of the ruins following the 2003 invasion proved Israel had lied. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon. This led to the Massacres at Sabra and Shatilla. In February 2003 Israel staged incursions into Gaza and Nablus. In September 2007 Israel bombed Syria, again insisting they were destroying a clandestine weapons laboratory. Again there was no evidence to support Israel's claims. In 2006, Israel attacked Lebanon, killing 1200, mostly civilians, several UN observers, and littering the landscape with land mines on their way out. In February 2008 Israel again raided Gaza, killing over 100. HAMAS agreed to a cease fire and kept it for 6 months until November 4, when Israel again attacked without warning, killing 6 HAMAS members, and launching operation CAST LEAD. 1300 Gazans, mostly civilians, were killed. Israel lost 13 soldiers. Violations of international law included the use of White Phosphorus incendiary bombs against civilians and non-military targets. The United Nations investigated, but Israel refused to cooperate. In May 2010, Israel attacked an international aid flotilla bringing food and medical supplies to Gaza in international waters. 9 people were murdered including an American from New York. In June 2014, citing as their excuse the murder of three teenagers in the West Bank (which even the West Bank police said were not linked to HAMAS), Israel launched operation PROTECTIVE EDGE, bombing Gaza into rubble, again refusing to cooperate with UN investigators, and ultimately refusing to keep to the terms of the cease fire. In the same period of time, the United States, officially a secular nation but predominantly Christian, attacked El Salvador (1980), Libya (1981), Sinai (1982), Lebanon (1982 1983), Egypt (1983), Grenada (1983), Honduras (1983), Chad (1983), Persian Gulf (1984), Libya (1986) , Bolivia (1986), Iran (1987), Persian Gulf (1987), Kuwait (1987), Iran (1988), Honduras (1988), Panama (1988), Libya (1989), Panama (1989), Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru (1989), Philippines (1989), Panama (1989-1990), Liberia (1990), Saudi Arabia (1990), Iraq (1991), Zaire (1991), Sierra Leone (1992), Somalia (1992), Bosnia-Herzegovina (1993 to present), Macedonia (1993), Haiti (1994), Macedonia (1994), Bosnia (1995), Liberia (1996), Central African Republic (1996), Albania (1997), Congo/Gabon (1997), Sierra Leon (1997), Cambodia (1997), Iraq (1998), Guinea/Bissau (1998), Kenya/Tanzania (1998 to 1999), Afghanistan/Sudan (1998), Liberia (1998), East Timor (1999), Serbia (1999), Sierra Leon (2000), Yemen (2000), East Timor (2000), Afghanistan (2001 to present), Yemen (2002), Philippines (2002) , Cote d'Ivoire (2002), Iraq (2003 to present), Liberia (2003), Georgia/Djibouti (2003), Haiti (2004), Georgia/Djibouti/Kenya/Ethiopia/Yemen/Eritrea War on Terror (2004), Pakistan drone attacks (2004 to present), Somalia (2007), South Ossetia/Georgia (2008), Syria (2008), Yemen (2009 and 2015), Haiti (2010), Libya (2011), Syria (2011), Ukraine (2014), Iraq (2015), etc. etc. etc. etc. So, who is the danger to world peace? Sent in by a reader THE MOTHER OF ALL TERRORISTS For those of you who want "FACTS" and "FIGURES" and have the intellect to judge 'GOOD' from 'EVIL' and the courage to know and say out the TRUTH, you should stop here! Ever since the United States Army massacred 300 Lakotas in 1890, American forces have intervened elsewhere around the globe 100 times. Indeed the United States has sent troops abroad or militarily struck other countries' territory 216 times since independence from Britain. Since 1945 the United States has intervened in more than 20 countries throughout the world. Since World War II, the United States actually dropped BOMBS ON 23 COUNTRIES. These include: China 1945-46, Korea 1950-53, China 1950-53, Guatemala 1954, Indonesia 1958, Cuba 1959-60, Guatemala 1960, Congo 1964, Peru 1965, Laos 1964-73, Vietnam 1961-73, Cambodia 1969-70, Guatemala 1967-69, Grenada 1983, Lebanon 1984, Libya 1986, El Salvador 1980s, Nicaragua 1980s, Panama 1989, Iraq 1991-1999, Sudan 1998, Afghanistan 1998, and Yugoslavia 1999.
