Very nice, Fidel, sitting here in the imperial heartland, and identifying every single example of resistance to imperialism as being a CIA plot. Makes it a lot easier to justify invasion, no-fly zones, occupation, plunder. I know that's not your intent, but it certainly is the consequence of your crackpot conspiracy nonsense.

What youre saying does not follow. It makes no sense, and I can only hope that you understood that before posting out of frustration. You will, no doubt, try to tell me that I denigrate legitimate resistance movements around the world by suggesting that they are all so totally owned by the CIA as to make them illegimate. But that is not what I have actually said at any time. I resent that false implication and non sequitur. Please don't tell me what you think I have said about the U.S.-led NATO and their right wing stay behind armies morphing into mercenaries, jobbers and hirelings for the vicious empire because apparently you have it backwards, wrongways and g-ways.
Yes we realize that there are no imperialists in your version of the world.
NATO has been a benevolent force for good in the land of make believe. And Gladio? Puh! Imperialists just aren't that evil in your world of denial.
You seem to be in denial about the fact that anyone can be bought whether they are white or non-white. Yes, even brown people can be corrupted and paid to do the imperialists dirty work. To think or imply that non-whites are incapable of being corrupted or enticed into becoming mercenaries for hire for anyone's ideological purposes is not just insanely racist, it's not how the real world works. I'm afraid your freedom fighters, the mujahideen and many of whom arenow in Karzai's government, enjoyed shopping in NYC for Gucci and other brands which most of us working class slobs could never afford.
I'm afraid the reality of it is not as simple as what you've led yourself to believe. The issues are not black and white as only a conservative minded person is able to see the world. See Berkeley study on what makes a political conservative.
The CIA was formed in 1947 along with the NSA and Joint Chiefs. That's real history.
And for God's sake don't post anything dumb until I get back.
Thx Fidel I never quite understood before that Unionist was an arch conservative who supported the mujahedin and Karzai. Just proves people have to pay close attention to really follow the nuances on this board.
Tell me are there any left wing people besides you on this board or is Unionist just the tip of the iceberg and this board is actually a gathering place for right wingers?

I think you and Unionist do a fine job of nuancing. Don't be so hard on yourselves.
Berkeley researchers suggest that 'conservative' can refer to either right or left. They are generally afraid of change, have issues with terror managment and ambiguity. They see the world in terms of black and white as in there are no grey areas of uncertainty. They believe what they believe.
Nothing is complicated. Your closets are tidy and all that. Now I'm not suggesting that 'conservatives' are borderline sociopaths or anything. It's just that their world is unsullied by the full range of human behaviours and, shall we say, nuances and world views held by the rest of us. Clear as an unmuddied lake, Fred? Clear as an azure sky in the deepest of summer?(Alex of A Clockwork Orange infamy)
Ahhem, now you don't actually have to read the article.
"Look, my job isn't to nuance."
My closets aren't tidy how about yours?
Well Fidel your description is mostly the antithesis of who I am so and I suspect it would be the same for Unionist and most posters on this board so PLEASE just STFU about other people and talk issues instead of drivel about people you don't know.
I understand your pointy view of the world. Imperialism is a great evil that permeates everything everywhere and the NDP is the only known cure. I can hardly wait for the New Jerusalem.
What position should the NDP take on this file. Is the best thing to just mirror the Harper agenda? At least that would show they have no ambiguity on issues of terror management.
Excuse me but I amn the one who was fed up with having the conversation turned toward me personally.
For the record, I am not the one defending the very imperialist organization, the CIA, against "conspiracy theories." This is the same imperialist agency which forged ties with General Reinhard Gehlen and basically reconstructed Himmler's SS after the war to spy on our WW II allies, the Russians. That's right, I am one of several posters here who are in a way kind of miffed, to say the least, over that bit of shady cold war history and every other godamned dirty trick they've pulled around the world since then.
YOU TWO are the ones implying that the American CIA are not that evil. You two not I or me or even NDPP. So what do you have to say for yourselves besides chiding us for spreading gossip and vicious rumors concerning "the company" and NSA which, by the way, their purpose is to allegedly to spy on foreign militaries, which is a total lie since what they've actually been doing is spying on the lives of millions of Americans and especially so since their hirelings in the invisible army of dark matters orchestrated 9/11 all by their bad selves. Go on, we're listeninig. It's your dime, Mr Social Credit Democracy. How's that for ambiguity? And if you're uncertain, take all the time you need to hash it out between the two of you.
LOL
Does that sufficiently answer your non question?
Here is a graphic view of the CIA that you should study closely to make sure it fits with your intimate and personal knowledge of the agency. It seems to be fairly accurate but since you are the expert with inside knowledge maybe you can tell me how close it is.
Good-good. And this one is really funny.
Another Cold War Myth: The Fall of the Berlin Wall Youll pee your pants
Yep those CIA spooks are real funneh guys.
You and U could always start a thread of your own. You could name it 'Friendly Imperialism' or even Meet the Friendly Dictators (Theyre Pretty decent guys, rilly)
What position should the NDP take on this file. Is the best thing to just mirror the Harper agenda? At least that would show they have no ambiguity on issues of terror management.
And so if you and Unionist are correct in your dialectical hypothesis that says imperialists are not that evil, why are you in a rush to condemn the NDP for notstanding up to imperialists and their vicious toadies in Ottawa if 'conspiracy theories'(code for the unspeakable truth about imperialism) are non truths in stark contrast to what lapdog newz media says about 9/11 and every imperialist military attack and invasion since 9/11/01?
No rabbit hole conspiratorial theories here just a simple and straightforward question. And don't give us that, "This is KAOS vee don't vroom-vrooom around here' nonsense. We're wise to that one by now. ;-)
If I understood what your post meant I could respond. Oh well have a nice night and keep up the good fight. It must be very lonely to be the only one that understands.
When you find that post of mine where I state that imperialists are not evil please let us know. Given the dozen years I have been posting here I am sure you must be able to find one right?
And dont forget if you hear or read anything bad about the Gladio Gang Inc., it's all lies and "conspiracy" theory.

Terror in Central Asia: NATO’s Great Game
In this age of manufactured terror, one of the most vital regions on the global chessboard is also an area that few in the West know anything about: Central Asia. This geostrategic and resource-rich area on the doorstep of China and Russia finds itself in the middle of an all out terror campaign. But, as key national intelligence whistleblowers are pointing out, these terrorists are working hand-in-glove with NATO. This is the GRTV Backgrounder on Global Research TV.
Ever since the staged false flag attacks of 9/11, the US government and its complicit corporate media have focused their attention on fighting the shadowy, all-pervasive, all-powerful, ill-defined and undefeatable “Al Qaeda” enemy that is supposedly menacing the US and its allies at home and abroad. The term “Al Qaeda” of course is merely a cipher for “excuse to invade.”
As far as our in-house apologists for imperialism are concerned, there is no grand chess game. For them 9/11 truth is slander and lies to make imperialists look bad.
Anniversary of the Iraq war coming up. CNN tonight reporting:
- the Iraq war cost the USA more than $2trillion
- resulted in 134,000 Iraqi civillians killed
- 4,000 US casaulties
- over the next 40 years, the cost for Iraqi war vets will exceed $6trillion.
And all because of faulty US intelligence and George Bush's constant belief that Iraq had WMD. Way to go, George!
I hope Bush is arrested if he ever steps foot outside US soil, and charged with war crimes. Now we have Obama playing with drones and kiling more innocents. Isn't that the definition of "terrorist"?
Bush did set foot outside US soil. He came to Canada. And although our law says that a 'credibly suspected' war criminal such as Bush (or the resident Israeli Defence Attache Brig Gen Eden Attias, who as CO of Nevatin IAFB participated in 'Cast Lead' and Mavi Marmara) is to be either prevented entry or held pending investigation and trial, our politicians did nothing. Splitting the Sky, who recently passed away, attempted a citizen's arrest in Calgary. Too bad you seem to have missed it.

Investigative journalist Dahr Jamail reported for Democracy Now! throughout the early stages of the U.S. invasion of Iraq 10 years ago. Now with Al Jazeera, Jamail has just returned from Iraq once again, finding what he calls a "failed state" living in "utter devastation." In part one of our interview, Jamail discusses the harrowing security situation for Iraqis living in fear of bombings, executions and kidnappings, the widespread torture in Iraq’s prisons, and the breakdown of security in what he calls a "lawless state." Jamail is the author of "Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq" and "The Will to Resist: Soldiers Who Refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Canada's 'Fiercely Proud' Lt Gen Devlin in Iraq 2006-08

'It is an honour to be serving with the Coaltion Forces in Iraq and I am fiercely proud to be wearing a Canadian flag.'
Most Canadians are certainly proud - though it is not known how 'fiercely' - of the prevailing political fairy tail that Canada refused to take any part in the US-led war against Iraq. It is, however, not certain where the general public would direct their 'fierceness' if they knew that the current chief of Canada's army had not only commanded troops in the Iraq War but had actually received a US medal for his role in helping lead that war."
[url=http://www.globalresearch.ca/syria-us-nato-backed-al-qaeda-terrorists-us... US-NATO Backed Al Qaeda Terrorists Armed with WMDs. Chemical Weapons against the Syrian People[/size][/url]
Libya’s WMD’s are in Terrorist Hands
Libya’s arsenal had fallen into the hands of sectarian extremists with NATO assistance in 2011 during the culmination of efforts to overthrow the North African nation . Since then, Libya’s militants led by commanders of Al Qaeda’s Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) have armed sectarian extremists across the Arab World, from as far West as Mali, to as far East as Syria.
In addition to small arms, heavier weapons are also making their way through this extensive network. The Washington Post in their article, “Libyan missiles on the loose,” reported:
“Two former CIA counterterrorism officers told me last week that technicians recently refurbished 800 of these man-portable air-defense systems (known as MANPADS) — some for an African jihadist group called Boko Haram that is often seen as an ally of al-Qaeda — for possible use against commercial jets flying into Niger, Chad and perhaps Nigeria.”
While undoubtedly these weapons are also headed to Niger, Chad, and perhaps Nigeria, they are veritably headed to Syria. Libyan LIFG terrorists are confirmed to be flooding into Syria from Libya. In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, “Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group,” would report:
Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, “met with Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey,” said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. “Mustafa Abdul Jalil (the interim Libyan president) sent him there.”

France and Mali: Hollande's Bush Moment

"...Now in mid April, 4,600 French troops are still in the country, supported by about 6,000 soldiers from several African states.
Yet the situation is still tense. Islamists who had faded into the villages and rugged mountains are still capable of deadly hit-and-run attacks. And the ethnic Tuaregs in the North, who began the rebellion, are still demanding autonomy or independence.
Meanwhile the Mali adventure is costing France, whose budget is already in disarray - close to three million Euros a day - probably much more. By this summer the cost will probably have risen to at least half a billion Euros...and counting."
