U.S. Must Face the Truth : Know Who is The Terrorist
25 Classic Quotes on Western Hegemony
by TruthTeller
1. “It’s really not a number I’m terribly interested in.” -General
Colin Powell [When asked about the number of Iraqi people who
were slaughtered by Americans in the 1991 “Desert Storm” terror
campaign (200,000 people!)]
2. “I will never apologize for the United States of America - I don’t
care what the facts are.” -President George Bush 1988 [Bush was
demonstrating his patriotism by excusing an act of cold-blooded mass-
murder by the U.S. Navy. On July 3, 1988 the U.S. Navy warship
Vincennes shot down an Iranian commercial airliner. All 290 civilian
people in the aircraft were killed. The plane was on a routine flight
in a commercial corridor in Iranian airspace. The targeting of it by
the U.S. Navy was blatantly illegal. That it was grossly immoral is
also obvious. Except to a patriot.]
3. “To maintain this position of disparity (U.S. economic-
military supremacy)… we will have to dispense with all sentimentality
and day-dreaming… We should cease to talk about vague and…
unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living
standard and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going
to have to deal in straight power concepts… The less we are then
hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.” -George Kennan [Director
of Policy Planning U.S. State Department 1948]
4. “If they turn on the radars we’re going to blow up their god\*\*\*\*
SAMs (surface-to-air missiles). They know we own their country. We own
their airspace… We dictate the way they live and talk. And that’s
what’s great about America right now. It’s a good thing, especially
when there’s a lot of oil out there we need.” -U.S. Brig. General
William Looney (Interview Washington Post, August 30, 1999) [Referring,
in reality, to the brutal mass-murder of hundreds of civilian Iraqi
men, women and children during 10,000 sorties by American/British war
criminals in the first eight months of 1999]
5. “The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign
policy.” -Ramsey Clark [Former U.S. Attorney General under President
Lyndon Johnson]
6. “I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar
soaked fingers out of the business of these [Third World] nations so
full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of
their own. And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent
type because the ‘haves’ refuse to share with the ‘have-nots’ by any
peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the
American style, which they don’t want and above all don’t want crammed
down their throats by Americans.” -General David Sharp [Former United
States Marine Commandant 1966]
7. “We have no honorable intentions in Vietnam. Our minimal expectation
is to occupy it as an American colony and maintain social stability for
our investments. This tells why American helicopters are being used
against guerrillas in Colombia and Peru. Increasingly the role our
nation has taken is the role of those who refuse to give up the
privileges and pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas
investment.” -Martin Luther King, Jr. [“A Time to Break the Silence”
speech given at Riverside Church New York City April 4, 1967]
8. "Death squads have been created and used by the CIA around the world
- particularly the Third World - since the late 1940s, a fact ignored
by the elite-owned media." -Ralph McGehee [Former CIA analyst & Author]
CIABASE; The Crisis of Democracy Deadly Deceits: My 25 years in the CIA
1. “The U.S.A. has supplied arms, security equipment and training
to governments and armed groups that have committed torture, political
killings and other human rights abuses in countries around the
world.” -Amnesty International [“United States of America - Rights for
All” October 1998]
2. “We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most
completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world - no
longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by
conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion
and duress of small groups of dominant men.” -Woodrow Wilson [U.S. President during World War I]
3. “We must become the owners, or at any rate the controllers at
the source, of at least a proportion of the oil which we require.” -
British Royal Commission, agreeing with Winston Churchill’s policy
towards Iraq, 1913
4. “What we want to have in existence, what we ought to have been
creating in this time is some administration with Arab institutions
which we can safely leave while pulling the strings ourselves;
something that won’t cost very much, which the Labour government can
swallow consistent with its’ principles, but under which our economic
and political interests will be secure. […] If the French remain in
Syria we shall have to avoid giving them the excuse of setting up a
protectorate. If they go, or if we appear to be reactionary in
Mesopotamia, there is always the risk that [King] Faisal will encourage
the Americans to take over both, and it should be borne in mind that
the Standard Oil company is very anxious to take over Iraq.” - Sir
Arthur Hirtzel, Head of the British government’s ‘India
Office Political Department.’ 1919
5. “If war aims are stated which seem to be solely concerned
with Anglo-American imperialism, they will offer little to people in
the rest of the world. The interests of other peoples should be
stressed. This would have a better propaganda effect.” - Private memo
from The Council of Foreign Relations to the U.S. State Department,
1941
6. “Our strategic and security interests throughout the world will be
best safeguarded by the establishment in suitable spots of ‘Police
Stations’, fully equipped to deal with emergencies within a large
radius. Kuwait is one such spot from which Iraq, South Persia, Saudi
Arabia and the Persian Gulf could be controlled. It will be worthwhile
to go to considerable trouble and expense to establish and man a
‘Police Station’ there.” - British Foreign Office, policy memo, 1947
7. “We have about 60% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of
its’ population. In this situation we cannot fail to be the object of
envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a
pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position
of disparity. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today
the luxury of altruism and world benefaction. We should cease to talk
about such vague and unreal objectives as human rights, the raising of
living standards and democratisation. The day is not far off when we
are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are
then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better." - George Kennan,
former Head of the U.S. State Department Policy Planning Staff,
Document PPS23, 24th February 1948
8. “I came to America because of the great, great freedom which I
heard existed in this country. I made a mistake in selecting America as
a land of freedom, a mistake I cannot repair in the balance of my
lifetime.” -Albert Einstein, 1947
9. “The target suffered a terminal illness before a firing squad
in Baghdad.” - CIA officer testifying to U.S. Senate hearing, after
bloody CIA aided Ba’th Party coup overthrew Iraqi Prime Minister Abdel
Kassem, 1963
10. "Strikes at population targets (per se) are likely not only to
create a counterproductive wave of revulsion abroad and at home, but
greatly to increase the risk of enlarging the war with China and the
Soviet Union. Destruction of locks and dams, however - if handled right
- might offer promise. It should be studied. Such destruction does not
kill or drown people. By shallow-flooding the rice, it leads after time
to widespread starvation (more than a million) unless food is provided
- which we could offer to do ‘at the conference table’." - John
McNaughton, U.S. State Department Vietnam policy, as quoted in
‘The Mentality of the Backroom Boys.’ Article by Noam Chomsky, 1973
1. “The U.S. must carry out some act somewhere in the world which
shows its determination to continue to be a world power.” - Henry
Kissinger, post-Vietnam blues, as quoted in The Washington Post, April
1975
I will give you the other ones in another thread because I have reached the maximum limit.
Oh, don’t forget that Albert Einstein was also a Communist 🙂
The world’s most famous scientist is a Communist 🙂
Who wants to argue logic and science with Einstein?
lol.

Congratulations, you can copy and paste - testament to your excellent education I’m sure 😉
Copper, this isn’t a place for you to simply rant on anything you feel like. You may find yourself having to find another forum to post if your reckless, childish posts continue. Also, anybody can also, with great ease, find middle eastern “clerics” and write what they have to say against the US.
Regards!
Kirupa
