The U.S. Pursuit of Global Dominance
During the Cold War years, mainstream commentators were quick to dismiss
the idea that the United States was an imperialist power. Even when U.S.
interventions led to the overthrow of popular governments, as in Iran,
Guatemala, or the Congo, or wholesale war, as in Vietnam, this fiction
remained intact. During the 1990s and especially since September 11, 2001,
however, it has crumbled. Today, the need for American empire is openly
proclaimed and defended by mainstream analysts and commentators.
John Bellamy Foster’s “Naked Imperialism” examines

this important transformation in U.S. global policy and
ideology, showing the political and economic roots of
the new militarism and its consequences both in the
global and local context. Foster shows how U.S.-led
global capitalism is preparing the way for a new age of
barbarism and demonstrates the necessity for
resistance and solidarity on a global scale.
“Naked Imperialism is a synthesis of 50 years of intelligent
writing by Monthly Review authors about the realities of
imperialism. To be read by serious analysts and activists.”
—Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University
American Terrorism around the World
Reagan-US War Against Nicaragua
The Reagan-US war against Nicaragua which left tens of
thousands of people dead, the country ruined, perhaps
beyond recovery.
The World Court ruled in favour of Nicaragua,
condemned what they called the "unlawful use of force,"
which is another word for international terrorism, by the
United States, ordered the United States to terminate
the crime and to pay massive reparations.
The United States, of course, dismissed the

court judgment with total contempt and
announced that it would not accept the
jurisdiction of the court.
Then Nicaragua then went to the UN Security
Council which considered a resolution calling
on all states to observe international law. No
one was mentioned but everyone understood.
The United States vetoed the

resolution.
It now stands as the only state on record
which has both been condemned by the World
Court for international terrorism and has
vetoed a Security Council resolution calling on
states to observe international law.
Quote Time Magazine . . . They lauded the success of
the methods adopted: "to wreck the economy and
prosecute a long and deadly proxy war until the
exhausted natives overthrow the unwanted government
themselves," with a cost to us that is "minimal," and
leaving the victims "with wrecked bridges, sabotaged
power stations, and ruined farms," and thus providing
the US candidate with a "winning issue": "ending the
impoverishment of the people of Nicaragua." The New
York Times had a headline saying "Americans
United in Joy" at this outcome.
US and UK Backed South African Attacks
During the Reagan years alone, South African

attacks, backed by the United States and Britain,
US/UK-backed South African attacks against the
neighboring countries killed about a million and a
half people and left 60 billion dollars in damage
and countries destroyed. And if we go around the
world, we can add more examples.
Haiti, Guatemala, and Nicaragua
What's the poorest country? Well that's of course Haiti
which also happens to be the victim of most US
intervention in the 20th century by a long shot. We left it
totally devastated. It's the poorest country.
Nicaragua is second ranked in degree of US
intervention in the 20th century. It is the 2nd poorest and
Guatemala. They interchange every year or two as to
who's the second poorest.
And they also vie as to who is the leading
target of US military intervention. We're
supposed to think that all of this is some sort
of accident
Colombia
The worst human rights violator

in the 1990's is Colombia, . . . by far,
the leading recipient of US
military aid in the 1990's
maintaining the terror and human rights
violations.
Turkey
Turkey was getting such a huge flow of US arms
In 1984, [Turkey] launched a major terrorist war against
Kurds in southeastern Turkey. And that's when US military aid
went up. . . .
O This led to 2-3 million refugees. Some of the worst
ethnic cleansing of the late 1990s. Tens of thousands of
people killed,
O 3500 towns and villages destroyed, way more than
Kosovo, even under NATO bombs.
O And the United States was providing 80% of the arms,
It declined in 1999 because, once again, terror worked as it
usually does when carried out by its major agents, mainly the
powerful. So by 1999, Turkish terror, called of course counter-
terror,
What is terrorism?
Wanton killing of innocent civilians is
terrorism, not a war against terrorism
In the 1980s the U.S. fought a major war
in Central America, leaving some
200,000 tortured and mutilated corpses,
millions of orphans and refugees, and
four countries devastated. A prime target
of the U.S. attack was the Catholic
Church, which had committed the
grievous sin of adopting "the preferential
option for the poor."

With these words he attacked and destroyed Iraq and
Afghanistan - killing hundreds of thousands of women
and children and supported and aided the anihilation
of the Palestinians - and he wants these people to
love him for destroying their life.
The US leading an international coalition of powers, began a
military invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001. Conventional
opinion has it that the US invasion was initiated in response to
September 11 attack of the WTC in New York the same year.
However the fact presented proves
otherwise
The Invasion
of Afghanistan
The Truth Behind the Invasion
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmad, September 11, 2001 – The

Great Deception.
Conceited Morality . . . Hegelian Assumption
“Bush informed us that

‘America was targeted for
attack because we are the
brightest beacon for
freedom and opportunity in
the world”. Robert Fisk, The Great War for Civilisation
– p.1137
With those words America

can kill other peoples’
children.
Invasion of Afghanistan . . . . The Real Reason
The Central Asian region and the Caspian Sea basin are
known to contain reserves of natural gas and oil that
dwaft those of Kuwait, the Gulf of Mexico, or the North
Sea. . . . Kazakhstan is the Sheild and Uzbekistan is the
soul for the region’s diverse national awakening . . . .
Turkmenistan . . . . Has been actively exploring the

construction of a new pipeline through Afghanistan and
Pakistan to the Arabian Sea.
Thus whoever controls Central Asia and Euroasia,

controls the worlds energy and power.

Great Deception. P.82.
Therefore the strategy for US

global dominance begins in
Afghanistan, extends to
Central Asia and moves
forward to Euroasia.
The result of May 2001 report by Brookings Institution
Conference, shows clearly that the exploitation of Caspian
and Asian energy markets was an urgent priority for the Bush
Administration:
“The Administration’s report warned that ‘growth in
international oil demand will exert increasing pressure
on global oil availability’ and that developing Asian
economies and population – particularly in China and
India – will be major contributors to this increased
demand . . . . Options for contructing gas pipelines east
to Asia from the Caspian have been discussed for the
last decades.”

Afghanistan is the primary gateway to Central Asia and the
immense energy deposits therein.
“With the collapse of the soviet Union, [Afghanistan]

has become an important potential opening to the sea
for the landlocked new states of Central Asia. The
presence of large oil deposits in that area has
attracted countries and multinational corporations . . . .
Because Afghanistan is a major strategic pivot what
happens there affects the rest of the world.”
The Brookings Institute Conference report in May 2001 regarding
the expliotation of the Caspian and Asian energy market was an
urgent priority for the Bush administration.

Great Deception. P.74-75.
“We have not said that Osama bin Laden is a

target of this effort . . . What we are about is
the destruction of al-Qaeda network, as well
as the . . . Taliban that provide harbour to bin
Laden and al-Qaeda. . . . If tomorrow morning
someone told us Osama dead that doesn’t
mean we’re through in Afghanistan”

at the Pantegon.
Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmad, September 11, 2001 – The Great
Deception. P.88.
NATO — Tool of the American Empire
NATO as the primary instrument of Western
defense and security because NATO extends US
hegemony over Western Europe. . .
Therefore the US must seek to prevent the
emergence of EUROPEAN-ONLY security
arrangements which would undermine NATO and
therefore US hegemony over Europe.
The US should be postured to act

independently when collective
action cannot be orchestrated –
The Empire is always Right
Invasion of Afghanistan . . . . The LIES
The US and British politcal leaders promised their public that the
intervention in Afghanistan would not target the country’s civilian
population. US House minority leader Dick Gephardt, for instance,

Before September 11, the UN estimated that millions were being sustaine, barely by

As New York St. Lawrence University Professor,

Laura Rediehs remarked in a perspective essay
in collateral Damage, one of the best books on
the linguistics of this conflict, in a Cosmic Battle
between “Hppe!boe!Fwjm” of the kind Bush
imagined, the taking of innocent lives by us
would be justified because we were good. But
when the other side killed innocents, it was
unjustified because the other side was evil.
“What makes the deaths of innocent people bad,
then, is not their actual death, but the attitudes
and feelings of those who kill them”.
Robert Fisk, The Great War for Civilisation – p.1140
Hegelian assumption that Africans

are mere things, whose lives have
“no value”, an attitude that accords
with practice in ways that are not
overlooked among the victims, who

West.
Milan Rai, War Plan Iraq, p.27. On the
bombing of Sudan’s Phamecutical Factory
Anyone who criticises America now

Nazis, fascists. So America was
sacrosanct – so was Israel, of course –

before George W. Bush was elected President, and they

1996 report, “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing

US but for the incoming Israel Likud prime minister Benjamin
Netenyahu and produced by a group headed by Perle. The

UNSCOM's Butler deliberately wrote a justification for a war.
"Based on the same facts he could have said, `There were

What do you make of that?
RITTER : What an absurd statement. Thousands of aluminum

Iraq was to have trying to do uranium enrichment, it would
take them many years before they could do it. This is patently

destroys things. War is something that's going to put the lives

The bottom line is in 1998 the International Atomic

being on the ground for four years, it would be any different than the last time around,
when Richard Butler, who was the chief U.N. weapon inspector, said the Iraqis often moved
stuff when they knew you guys were going to be on the ground?
RITTER: I had been there since 1991 working under Ralph Acquas (ph) when the vast
majority of the actual disarmament took place. By the time Richard Butler came,
we had already destroyed Iraq's weapons programs. We were hunting down for, you
know, missing items, you know, a piece of metal here, some documents there.
And, yes, Iraq could have moved them, but this does not constitute a weapons
program. It's illegal, and this is what inspectors need to do, come back here, finish
the job so that Iraq can get on with rebuilding its economy, etc. But, you
know, Richard Butler knows for darned sure that the Iraqis were not
moving weapons from his weapons inspectors.

ZAHN: I still don't understand why you think the inspections will be any different this
time around. The administration seems convinced that if Iraq had nothing to
hide, they wouldn't have broken all these U.N. regulations and they would have
allowed inspectors in over the last four years.
RITTER: Come on, Paula, let's be fair. The administration knows that the
Central Intelligence Agency used the weapons inspection program
as a Trojan horse to insert intelligence collection capabilities to go
after Saddam Hussein. There's no way the Iraqis are going to let the inspectors in
right now, given all the war rhetoric going on in Washington, D.C. Why would they
let inspectors in to spy on them, to target them more effectively and then be
used to manipulate justification for war?
You know, I know that inspections did work. We achieved a 90 to 95
percent level of verified, . . . . This is why I'm just amazed when I hear reports
coming from the IISS that Iraq suddenly has the capability. Where did it come from?
Did they suddenly grow factories?
You build factories, not in a basement, not in a mountain cave,
but it's a modern industrial capability. Where did it come from? Where
are the facilities?
Where are the weapons? . . .

Right now the government has provided nothing but rhetorically

RITTER: Absolutely. I'm not giving Iraq a clean bill of health. But,
again, we're talking about war here, Paula, not about a
game of diplomatic chess. Let's get the inspectors back in, let's
get them to find out what the ultimate disposition of these
weapons programs are and if Iraq has no weapons of

diffused a war. And I think that's a good thing worth

According to US government propaganda, terrorist cells are spread

throughout America, making it necessary for the government to spy
on all Americans and violate most other constitutional
protections. Among President Bush’s last words as he left office was
the warning that America would soon be struck again by Muslim
terrorists.
If America were infected with terrorists, we would not need
the government to tell us. We would know it from
events. As there are no events, the US government
substitutes warnings in order to keep alive the fear that
causes the public to accept pointless wars, the infringement
of civil liberty, national ID cards, and inconveniences and
harassments when they fly.

In what could turn out to be the greatest fraud in US

history, American authorities have started to
investigate the alleged role of senior military officers
in the misuse of $125bn (£88bn) in a US -directed
effort to reconstruct Iraq after the fall of Saddam
Hussein. The exact sum missing may never be clear,
but a report by the US Special Inspector General for
Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) suggests it may exceed
$50bn, making it an even bigger theft than Bernard
Madoff's notorious Ponzi scheme.

Perhaps one shouldn’t be surprised. The corporate media doesn’t seem
too interested in the so-called surgical strikes carried out by the U.S.
Air force as they buzz around the skies of Iraq, Somalia, Yemen,
Afghanistan and Pakistan. No matter what the Pakistanis or the
“Afghan government” says against these drone flights, President
Obama and his administration are in love with drones – seemingly the
universal panacea for killing the “enemy” without risking the lives of
brave servicemen and women. It was back last summer when an
official Afghan investigation headed by one Burhanullah Shinwari
revealed that a US fighter aircraft had killed 47
civilians, including 39 women and children, as they
were travelling to a wedding in Afghanistan. The
groom survived but the bride died. The US military
were quick to issue their initial denial that any
civilians had been killed.
- CounterPunch April 2-4 2010
Last June, a U.S. attack by unmanned aircraft hit the
Pakistani village of Najmarai in South Waziristan . . . it
killed up to 60 people at a funeral. . . . Obama’s accession
heralded a doubling of the number of drones operated by
U.S. forces.
The U.S. State Department’s Lawrence Richter,

rubbished the remarks of Philip Alston, the U.N.
special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or
arbitrary executions after his complaints about
drone attacks.

Alston said that the U.S. has created a "zone of impunity"
and should track the number of civilians killed in its military
operations abroad and limit collateral damage from
unmanned drone attacks:
"The government has failed to effectively investigate

and punish lower-ranking soldiers for such deaths,
and has not held senior officers responsible," Alston
said. "Worse, it has effectively created a zone of
impunity for private contractors and civilian
intelligence agents by only rarely investigating and
prosecuting them." His calls for a national
commission to independently look into the policies
and practices that are leading to the deaths was
predictably, ignored.
Interestingly it was the New York Times that said
that the company formerly known as Blackwater has
taken over quite a bit of CIA business which means
one could forgive the soldier for not being aware of
the case. According to The Times, drones fly from
hidden bases in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the
company’s contractors assemble and load Hellfire
missiles and 500-pound laser-guided bombs on
remotely piloted Predator aircraft. Those drones
operate out of a remote base in Shamsi in Pakistan
and one in Jalalabad in Afghanistan rather than the
deserts of Nevada.
“A computer
game?”
The Americans are playing computer
games with other peoples’ lives.
In Britain, one law-lord – a legal guardian in the arcane legal
bureaucracy here -- didn’t much like the sound of drones.
Lord Bingham, the senior law-lord said to the British Institute
of International and Comparative Law that drones were
like landmines and cluster bombs, that they could
be so "cruel as to be beyond the pale of human
tolerance".
Killing civilians is not new to these Europeans. In 1927 Iraq under the British
Mandatory Power, broke their agreement with the Saudi Government and build a
garrison fort at the frontier wells of Bisayya and officially announced to build
another along the frontier. The Saudis protested against the open breach of the
aggreements, which deprived the Beduins of their source of water.
In October 1927 the Beduin tribe destroyed the fort at Bisayya. The Saudis
reminded the British that if the Beduins were guilty, the Saudis will punish their
own men. The British should not enter Saudi land to punish the Beduins.
In January 1928 disrespecting the Saudi reminder, the British send

their air squardrom, flew into Saudi territory and bombed Najdi . . . .

a release immediately afterward, under the headline,
“Joint force operating in Gardez makes gruesome

team had found the women’s bodies “tied up, gagged
and killed” in a room. That statement went on to say:

Rear Admiral Greg Smith, NATO's director of
communications in Kabul, denied that there had
been any attempt at a cover-up.
“I don’t know if they fired any rounds,” he said.

“If you have got an individual stepping out of a
compound, and if your assault force is there,
that is often the trigger to neutralise the
individual. You don’t have to be fired upon to
fire back.”
Starkey reports that the Americans offered

the distraught family $2000 per victim of the
botched raid. But as the mother of the slain
brothers, Bibi Sabsparie, told him bitterly,
“There’s no value on human life. They killed
our family, then they came and brought us
money. Money won’t bring our family back.”

February 12, 2010: U.S. and Afghan forces raided a home
during a party and killed five people, including a local district
attorney, a local police commander two pregnant mothers and
a teenaged girl engaged to be married. Neither Commander
Dawood, shot in the doorway of his home while pleading for
calm waving his badge, nor the teenaged Gulalai, died
immediately, but the gunmen refused to allow relatives to take
them to the hospital. Instead, they forced them to wait for
hours barefoot in the winter cold outside.
Despite crowds of witnesses on the scene, the NATO report
insisted that the two pregnant women at the party had been
found bound and gagged, murdered by the male victims in an
honor killing. A March 16, 2010 U.N. report, following on
further reporting by Starkey, exposed the deception, to
meager American press attention.

Two weeks later: February 21st, 2010: A three-car convoy of
Afghans was traveling to the market in Kandahar with plans to
proceed from there to a hospital in Kabul where some of the
party could be taken for much-needed medical treatment. U.S.
forces saw Afghans travelling together and launched an air-to-
ground attack on the first car. Women in the second car
immediately jumped out waving their scarves, trying
desperately to communicate that they were civilians. The U.S.
helicopter gunships continued firing on the now unshielded
women. 21 people were killed and 13 were wounded .

On March 23rd, 2010, McChrystal was interviewed by the Daily
Telegraph. "Your security comes from the people," he said.
"You don't need to be secured away from the people. You need
to be secured by the people. So as you win their support, it's
in their interests to secure you, . . . This can mean patrolling
without armored vehicles or even flak jackets. It means
accepting greater short-term risk – and higher casualties – in
the hope of winning a "battle of perceptions and perspectives"
that will result in longer-term security."

Greed . . .
“At all times people had known greed: but at no time before
this had greed outgrown a mere eagerness to acquire things
and become an obsession that blurred the sight of everything
else: an irresistable craving to get, to do, to contrive more and
more – more today than yesterday, and more tomorrow than
today: a demon riding on the necks of men and whipping their
hearts forward toward goals that tauntingly glitter in the
distance but dissolve into contemptible nothingness as soon as
they are reached, always holding out the promise of new goals
ahead – goals still more brilliant, more tempting as long as
they lie on the horizon, and bound to wither into further
nothingness as soon as they come within grasp: and that
hunger, that insatiable hunger for ever new goals gnawing at
man’s soul:”
Muhammad Asad, The Road To Mecca,
p.310
Remember . . .
You are obsessed by greed for more and more
until you go down to your graves.
Nay, in time you will come to understand! And
once again: Nay you will come to understand!
Nay, if you but understand [it] with understanding
[born] of certainty, you would indeed, most
surely, behold the blazing fire [of hell]!
In the end you will indeed, most surely, behold it
with the eye of certainty:
And on the Day you will most surely be called to
account for [what you did with] the boon of life!
The Qur’an, Chapter 102 verse 1-8

May God blessed us and saved us from the Blazing
fire of Hell and tranny of Superpower greed and
arrogance
Uibol!
