This should be standard reading for all US citizens.
SURPRISE. YOUR GOVERNMENT LIES.
This is why no matter what they ever say or do, you should not trust them completely.
Its why I can't get over the 9/11 conspiracies totally.
Its funny how people can see this and just say "conspiracy theorists are crazy"
No. You are ignorant.
There is a difference between just utter bullshit and really plausible events that HAVE happened.
The unfortunate thing is that people aren't even aware of the stuff thats in public domain and how utterly crazy it is before they can assess what is going on.
Operation Northwoods?
"A series of proposals which called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other operatives, to commit acts of terrorism in US cities and elsewhere"
The Informant named "Curveball" who lied about WMDs in Iraq?
"An Iraqi citizen who defected from Iraq in 1999, claiming that he had worked as a chemical engineer at a plant that manufactured mobile biological weapon laboratories as part of an Iraqi weapons of mass destruction program. His allegations were subsequently shown to be false"
Testimony of Nayirah?
"The Nayirah testimony was a fake testimony given before the non-governmental Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990 by a woman who provided only her first name, Nayirah."
Operation Black Eagle
"Operation Black Eagle became a network of 5000 people who made possible the export of arms in the direction of Central America, and the import of drugs from the same direction. "
Operation Mockingbird
"a secret campaign by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to influence media. "
The Special Collection Service
"A highly classified joint U.S. Central Intelligence Agency-National Security Agency program charged with inserting eavesdropping equipment in difficult-to-reach places, such as foreign embassies, communications centers, and foreign government installations."
According to Alfred W. McCoy in The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, CIA arms, money, and disinformation enabled Corsican criminal syndicates in Marseille to wrestle control of labor unions from the Communist Party. The Corsicans gained political influence and control over the docks -- ideal conditions for cementing a long-term partnership with mafia drug distributors, which turned Marseille into the postwar heroin capital of the Western world. Marseille's first heroin laboratones were opened in 1951, only months after the Corsicans took over the waterfront.
EARLY 1950s, SOUTHEAST ASIA
The Nationalist Chinese army, organized by the CIA to wage war against Communist China, became the opium barons of The Golden Triangle (parts of Burma, Thailand and Laos), the world's largest source of opium and heroin. Air America, the ClA's principal airline proprietary, flew the drugs all over Southeast Asia. (See Christopher Robbins, Air America, Avon Books, 1985, chapter 9)
1950s to early 1970s, INDOCHINA
During U. S. military involvement in Laos and other parts of Indochina, Air America flew opium and heroin throughout the area. Many Gl's in Vietnam became addicts. A laboratory built at CIA headquarters in northern Laos was used to refine heroin. After a decade of American military intervention, Southeast Asia had become the source of 70 percent of the world's illicit opium and the major supplier of raw materials for America's booming heroin market.
1973-80, AUSTRALIA
The Nugan Hand Bank of Sydney was a CIA bank in all but name. Among its officers were a network of US generals, admirals and CIA men, including fommer CIA Director William Colby, who was also one of its lawyers. With branches in Saudi Arabia, Europe, Southeast Asia, South America and the U. S., Nugan Hand Bank financed drug trafficking, money laundering and international arms dealings. In 1980, amidst several mysterious deaths, the bank collapsed, $50 million in debt. (See Jonathan Kwitny, The Crimes of Patriots: A True Tale of Dope, Dirty Money and the CIA, W.W. Norton & Co., 1 987.)
1970s and 1980s, PANAMA
For more than a decade, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega was a highly paid CIA asset and collaborator, despite knowledge by U. S. drug authorities as early as 1971 that the general was heavily involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. Noriega facilitated ''guns-for-drugs" flights for the contras, providing protection and pilots, as well as safe havens for drug cartel otficials, and discreet banking facilities. U.S. officials, including then-ClA Director William Webster and several DEA officers, sent Noriega letters of praise for efforts to thwart drug trafficking (albeit only against competitors of his Medellin Cartel patrons). The U. S. government only turned against Noriega, invading Panama in December 1989 and kidnapping the general once they discovered he was providing intelligence and services to the Cubans and Sandinistas. Ironically drug trafficking through Panama increased after the US invasion.

The CIA has recently released the ‘family jewels’ that detail a great number
of operations in which the company offended societal norms or actually violated
laws. Even then, it appears to be a mere gloss on their illegal actions.
Credit must be given to Steve Kangas for distributing a chronology of CIA
foreign covert operations, based upon William Blum’s book KILLING HOPE, that
interfered with or overthrew many governments. The list is available on numerous
websites by using CIA ATROCITIES in a search engine. His epic work documenting
the death of 100’s of thousands from CIA “covert” actions shall not be
duplicated. One estimate is over six million were killed by 1987. http://www.serendipity.li/cia/cia_time.htm
It is impossible to read any article on the CIA that does not contain details
of actions which are not acceptable with sociological standards. They routinely
describe procedures to deceive Congress, to overthrow established governments,
to engage in theft and murder without end, and to conceal their nefarious acts
behind national security. The instances where involved parties encounter
“accidental death” or “suicide” is statistically beyond comparison.
"Since 9-11, he has steadfastly
refused to discuss the evidence of government complicity and prior
knowledge. Furthermore, he claims that the Council on
Foreign Relations (CFR), Bilderberg
Committee, and Trilateral
Commission are "nothing organizations." When critiquing poverty, he
never mentions the Federal Reserve and their role
in manipulating the cycle of debt. Similarly, he claims the CIA was
never a rogue organization and is an innocent scapegoat; that JFK was killed by the lone assassin Lee Harvey Oswald;
that the obvious vote fraud in 2004 did not occur..."
Noam Chomsky is often hailed as America's premier dissident
intellectual, a fearless purveyor of truth fighting against media
propaganda, murderous U.S. foreign policy, and the crimes of
profit-hungry transnational corporations.
He enjoys a slavish cult-like following from millions leftist
students, journalists, and activists worldwide who fawn over his dense
books as if they were scripture. To them, Chomsky is the supreme deity,
a priestly master whose logic cannot be questioned.
However, as one begins to examine the interviews and writings of
Chomsky, a different picture emerges. His books, so vociferously lauded
in leftist circles, appear to be calculated disinformation designed to
distract and confuse honest activists. Since the 1960's, Chomsky has
acted as the premier Left gatekeeper, using his elevated status to
cover up the major crimes of the global elite.
"...As we now understand, it was not simply the military and the CIA involved the torture at Abu Ghraib -- so-called interrogation specialists from private defense contractors were hired to humiliate and break detainees identified by Hersh as common criminals, security detainees suspected of crimes against the occupation, and a small number of suspected high-value leaders of the resistance against the occupation...."
NEW TARGETS: Syria + Iran in addition to Hezbollah (Lebanon) +
Palestinian Resistance Saudi, Pakistan + others will follow if they
resist
"All of us now, not just the Arabs and the Muslims, have much to
fear because of what this coalition of crazed Jewish and Christian
fundamentalist imperialists have done in the past and even more because
of what they are doing in the present."
"From the White House to the Pentagon, from Foggy Bottom (State
Department) to Langley (CIA)
to Ft. Meade (NSA), the Americans are intensely coordinating with the
Israelis to take over the Middle East region as never before in modern
history."
While aides to Gerald Ford, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney helped cover
up the background to the death of CIA scientist, Frank Olson who fell
from a 10th floor window in 1953, not long after he had been classified
as a potential security risk.
