US War On The Third World: 40 Years of CIA Activity watch!

youtube.com — John Stockwell, former CIA Station Chief in Angola in 1976, working for then Director of the CIA, George Bush. He spent 13 years in the agency. He gives a short history of CIA covert operations. He is a very compelling speaker and the highest level CIA officer to testify to the Congress about his actions. He estimates over 6 m people were killed.

  • PeppermintPig, on 07/04/2008, -4/+32So we're actually waiting to fight WW4?

    Guernica painting in the background, the one at the UN that they hide behind curtains.

    Truthers have really worn 'new world order' phrase into the ground (even if it's the misconceived negative definition of the term), so I feel very dirty saying it... but that's some pretty ***** up NWO ***** right there.

      Wow I gotta say this is some earth shattering stuff here.

      We need to rewrite the worlds history books quickly to show that the entire Korean War was actually a CIA operation to get us into a war with China.

      Really, lets get on that fast guys.
    • gak001, on 07/05/2008, -0/+6You're talking about a copy in the form of a tapestry and I believe that was only covered temporarily at the request of the media (read "Bush Administration"). Guernica is on display at La Reina Sofia art museum in Madrid.
      • PeppermintPig, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Yep. When they were advocating for war, to cover up a picture about the grotesque reality of war.
    • ZenMojo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+7Maybe truthers have worn it into the ground because it's actually happening? (Actually, that kind of freaks me out.)
      • PeppermintPig, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Everyone has their own threshold on what they believe. Some people believe in lizardmen.

        And then there are people who will discredit you through guilt by association to conspiracy theorists in general.

        Winning the battle of the minds goes well beyond this, but it just goes to show how purile things can be. Boring facts aren't as interesting as making crap up and being paranoid.

  • AlwaysAwake, on 07/04/2008, -4/+38And this is just a tiny fraction of wjhat is going on. The whole conspiracy of The Rothschild Family led One World Company, is usually beyond the comprehension of even the most jaded cynic, and conspiracy theorist.
    • MarkEarhart, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Very true, but it isn't just the Rothschilds. There are a number of top elitists families that work together worldwide like a well oiled machine.
  • Lenhart, on 07/04/2008, -5/+40US atrocities ARE as egregious or worse than those of Hitler's Third Reich. Stockwell has, in fact, underestimated the CIAs body count. It is closer to 20 million than six. The CIA is a law unto itself. It is out of control --a murderous gang of that has intimidated our own government. JFK had promised to 'smash the CIA into a thousand pieces' It is tragic that he was murdered because he could do so.

      This guy is a genius.

      He finally has the balls to tell the world the real truth about the Korean War.

      It was all a CIA operation to get us into a war with China.

      Man the CIA is ***** evilly brilliant. They played everybody in the ***** world on that one.
      • ZenMojo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2Considering South Korea was responsible for 50,000 murders of political dissidents and we took THEIR side...yeah, there was something odd about that one. I'm not sure if South Korea should be pissed at us for perpetuating fascism in South East Asia for another 40 years or thank us for protecting them from totalitarian communism for another 40 years until they could form a Democracy in the 90's.

  • coffee200am, on 07/04/2008, -19/+10I wish the CIA would stop the thousands of illegal Chinese, Mexicans, Hondurans, Indians, Costa Ricans, Nicaraguans, Peruvians, Ecuadorians, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Haitians, Africans and all the rest from coming into this fascist country of ours. Millions every year! That must be the CIA plan....get them in here for slave labor! Then the CIA needs to stop evil corporations from leaving this country and enslaving the the third world leaving us without jobs! Pure Evil!
    • thedaylights, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5America depends on its underclass of illegal labor from Mexico to perform jobs at starvation wages and keep the standard of living up for the landowning citizens. It's amazing how little has changed in 1000 years.

      • LOLPROFIT, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Why would someone lie about something that is so unheard of? The public barely talks about the CIA, so why would the CIA lie about key issues if no one cared about them in the first place?

  • cabdirazzaq, on 07/04/2008, -4/+20I know that some folks will digg me down for this but it's funny that the one thing America used to be famous for (it's freedom), that's why a 1/3 of my fellow Swedes immigrated to your country a centurty ago, is now the one thing that the U.S primarly FIGHTS.

    It may sound controversial, but in the words of former leader of the CIA Bin Laden Unit "I don't think Osama is a terrorist. He's a freedom fighter" "and probably the least egocentric politician in the world". Although one might despise his methods (understandably so), his motives is deeply rooted in freedom. In the words of Bart Simpson "USA what happened to you, you used to be cool" (paraphrasing)
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/05/2008, -6/+2Sweden was neutral during WW2. 'Nuff said.
      • thedaylights, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5Sweden didn't have the benefit of a massive industry and an ocean to separate them from their aggressive and powerful neighbours.

        Besides, your criticism of Sweden has no bearing on cabdirazzaq's argument. You are attacking his country, not his argument.
      • DuffyDirect, on 07/05/2008, -5/+1I'm attacking his holier-than-thou attitude. He present no argument. His argument is that Swedes emigrated to the U.S. because it was famous for freedom, and then he quotes some random guy without even writing his name and Bart Simpson.

        You have the nerve to tell me "I'm attacking his country not his argument" when he makes a muddled, disrespectful, and convoluted rubbish of an "argument" like that? ***** you.
      • cabdirazzaq, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5Random guy? Was it too difficult to just Google, head of bin laden unit at the CIA? His name is Michael Schuere and is presumambly the most knowledgbe man in the U.S about Bin laden, he traced him for 10 years for crying out loud.

        I have to agree with thedaylights, an argument against Sweden doesn't refute anything of what I said.
      • ISIfunded911, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1The guy who chased Bin Laden at the FBI is just as interesting.

      People on the Internet post REAL news of what is happening around them - not biased or regurgitated drivel by MSM.

      This is why we fight and continue to fight so hard against anyone who would restrict the Internet in any way, be it for "national security" or otherwise.

      Humans have been around for millions of years, and we have made a lot of great things in recent history. But the Internet... this is the one truly special thing that will change societies, all humanity... and everything to come.

      Can you imagine a world where everyone can see what is really going on from ground zero without any spin or bias - everyone's opinions start to converge and all humanity comes together to change things once and for all for the better. People share and develop ideas instantly with anyone around the world. No more corporate or government control. True freedom and proper unbiased education for all.

      I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to click "save reply", and Digg is going to show these people what they don't want them to see. It's going to show them a world without them...

    Why wasn't the Cold War even mentioned? Many of the "atrocities" mentioned were false flag ops by the Soviets.

    What about the 40 year war on the US by the 3rd world- or at least the Muslim part of it?
    • ZenMojo, on 07/05/2008, -0/+440 year? You mean the 30 years since Iran kidnapped those hostages in retaliation for the US overthrowing their democracy in the 1950's and installing a dictator that starved them into submission thus creating an Islamic Theocracy in its place, the only force powerful to seize the country back? You mean that war?

      You mean the 20 years since the United States gave chemical weapons to Iraq for its use in invading Iran and the millions of lives lost and the civilian plane we shot out of the sky that they're mourning this week?

      It's called reciprocity.
    • ISIfunded911, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3Kennedy wanted to stop the cold war. The CIA and the military-industrial complex killed him. Because they make so much money, enjoy so much freedom to kill and do whatever they want thanks to perpetual war. When the USSR fell, they immediately replaced it with ze terrarrisstss. Al Qaeda for example was invented by the CIA: it is the name of their database of the fighters they infiltrated in Afghanistan to fight the USSR. Qaeda means base, database. Al Qaeda is full of secret agents from secret services that collaborate with the CIA. That is why 9/11 was no surprise.
      It is all staged. You can wake up now.

  • cronian, on 07/05/2008, -1/+14What he doesn't mention is the reason for the operations. However, I think it is simple. Some country would have some resource the US wanted, and then US corporations would like to obtain the resource while paying the minimum possible to the natives for maximum profits. So, you give someone guns, they drive out whoever lived on the land before them, and they get a small cut for giving you the resources. To maintain control, you can support a few factions, and make a new one dominant if the old one stops being reliable.
    • Tr3mulant, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5That's pretty much it. Basically, the U.S. uses certain pretexts, whether it's communism, the war on drugs, or the war on terror, to invade countries of certain strategic value. Another pretext often used is so-called "democracy promotion," whereby the U.S. will install a government with the trappings of a democracy, but still wholly obedient to the U.S. Democracy is the furthest thing from the goals of the government, In fact, they'd prefer dictatorships because they can overrule the opinions of the people and are therefore more obedient.
      I reccomend reading some of Noam Chomsky's political books. Many of them cover this very topic and are very informative.
    • franktruth, on 07/05/2008, -0/+0Caveat: Define your terms and follow the money!
      Isn't anyone going to require from John Stockwell specifics such as dates, places, people, financing etc.? For a former CIA Station Chief in Angola to make such sweeping generalized accusations makes me suspicious. Some bloggers have mentioned John Perkins and Noam Chomsky who, in spite of their admiration of collectivist solutions, do manage to name names, cite dates and follow the money.
      Since John Stockwell was vague and general one can easily agree with his observations. So an equally vague and general response is that secret "intelligence" organizations such as the Mossad, CIA, KGB (now FSB, same guys new name) and PSB serve elitist global tyrants; not free peoples who strive for representative governments.
      It appears that John Stockwell, Noam Chomsky and John Perkins promote some kind of world socialist/fascist governance administrated from the United Nations or some derivative union of tyrants.
      Stockwell's video is a cheap shot. Because of his background he could have made a substantive presentation - instead it comes across as stale 70's left wing propaganda.

      • r3negadeX, on 08/11/2008, -1/+1"The CIA had no role in the coup, and the links you present do not say that they had a role in the coup."

        From the CNN link:
        "CIA officials had previously said the agency had not instigated the coup, but had been aware of military plotting to overthrow Allende.

        However, a Senate committee chaired by Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, had confirmed that the CIA had participated in covert operations in Chile, and that the agency had attempted to foment a military coup in 1970 after Allende had been elected president. "

        Are you incapable of reading, or are you just a troll?
      • andrew1193, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1"Are you incapable of reading, or are you just a troll?"

        Apparently you are. The article says nothing about the CIA being involved in the 1973 coup that overthrew Allende.
    • DanMcGuinness, on 07/05/2008, -1/+0LOL. Yep, everything is a conspiracy and the US is the evilest empire on the earth. I think we've heard this story before...
  • Mikhail101, on 07/05/2008, -8/+1300 diggs... this is pretty insane
    • MarkEarhart, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2Perhaps you should look in the mirror before you start making accusations of insanity.
  • Lynx55, on 07/05/2008, -1/+7Wow, am so proud to be American today ...NOT!
  • n8to, on 07/05/2008, -4/+5Man, I can't understand why no one likes us! I guess they just don't like Britney, Budweiser and MTV.
  • DuffyDirect, on 07/05/2008, -8/+6Why are people who are reaping the benefits of a dominant global society crticising their society's method of staying on top? Haven't any of you played Civilization? If you don't dominate the opponents to some extent, it's impossible to win. I seriously don't understand how so many people can have such naive views of international relations... I mean seriously, I've never even sat through a civil/angerless game of monopoly in my life. You seriously think whole nations of irrational human beings are going to always do the right thing?
    • DuffyDirect, on 07/05/2008, -5/+2P.S. -- since people on this site have the maturity of a pack of Chavs, watch Ali G in America season 1 episodes "law" and "war". Pay attention to the former US secretary of state, he explains this all very simply. There's no mind-bending conspiracies of skull and bones evil-doers; it's just simple carrot and stick diplomacy that gets FUBAR every now and then. This has been going on since the beginning of written history. Marcus Aurellius played "backyard" in Venice with the Goths and Germans just the way we do in South America and the middle east. Pick up books and stop being a part of the problem!
      • MarkEarhart, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3Stop reading books that are published by the most elite power hungry people in the world and do some real research before you criticize others as being naive or ignorant.
    • mike17032, on 07/05/2008, -5/+1Because most of the people digging this are children, to young to have opened their eyes to the world yet.

      That and this is pure *****. The CIA has done some ugly stuff, but this movie is a work of fiction.
      • fish0507, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Because most of the people digging this are open minded people who are not in denial. You sir, are truly ignorant as *****. Sucks to be you.

        Read a book on this issue, I recommend "the shock doctrine" - Naomi Klein

        And afterwords maybe you can throw the, "to young open their eyes to the world yet." comment
    • MarkEarhart, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3We have no business assassinating foreign heads of state and installing the ones we want, such as we did in Guatemala for bananas of all things!!! Then we were responsible for putting Pinochet in charge of Chile. We could go around the world naming factual events such as these. I believe the estimated death toll that is given in this video is extremely conservative.

      Trade with all nations and entangling alliances with none. Notice, "trade with" and lack of "entangling alliances" doesn't involve illegal smuggling, murder, genocide, eugenics, nation building, etc. All empires who over expand collapse inward. It has been that way with all civilizations throughout recorded history. Sadly, humans never seem to learn from the mistakes of the past. People keep doing the same things over and over, and thus meet the same end repeatedly.
  • andrew1193, on 07/05/2008, -7/+4"He is a very compelling speaker and the highest level CIA officer to testify to the Congress about his actions. He estimates over 6 m people were killed."

    His "estimates" and assertions are those only a patient in a lunatic asylum could come up with.
  • jamessavik, on 07/05/2008, -11/+2Buried as pure *****... which is a clue as to where it comes from.
  • DanMcGuinness, on 07/05/2008, -7/+0Hey guys, let's believe everything that every stupid ***** says. I mean, it's on the internet, so it must be true.
  • MarkEarhart, on 07/05/2008, -0/+5Sounds very much like the CIA I've read about. There is much more information available on line if anyone is interested. I find it to be very convenient for the CIA that before JFK could put an end to their murderous exploitations as he intended to do he was murdered.

    It's a real shame they killed the two Kennedy brothers that showed some promise of being decent Presidents and left the scum of the Earth of the siblings to serve in the Senate for so many years.
  • mrzack, on 07/05/2008, -0/+8USA is the biggest terrorist nation in the world. ---Chomsky.
  • Lenhart, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3'Terrorism' is simply the response to US terrorism --perpetrated primarily by the CIA and US surrogates. The 'blowback' is the root cause of terrorism, the motivation for it, the fuel that keeps it alive. Fighting a 'war on terrorism' is just plain stupid. Such a war 'causes' terrorism and I've got the FBIs own stats prove it. See: Terrorism is always worse under GOP regimes.

  • txdv48, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2I would comment except that with the compromise FISA bill headed for the Senate ...
  • flipdoubt, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3It's truly unbelievable what this country has done overseas, just in the last 50 years alone. I would advise anyone looking for further enlightenment on the subject to turn off CNN / Fox News / MSNBC and pick up Gore Vidal's last three pamphlets : "Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace", "Dreaming War", and lastly, "Imperial America". America the beautiful, eh? Wake up and smell the genocide!
