You might find this one of interest too - more US focused but dealing with much the same concepts - looking at how we rule the world and debunking this idea that somehow we're benign benefactors merely looking to spread freedom, democracy and prosperity
Got dudes like Joe...

GrandpaBernard ran across this you might find of interest
Possibly worth revisiting some other materials previously on the wider concept of Western neo-colonialism / economic imperialism since we're about it.

You know what's weird as fuck? Watching first hand as bullchit becomes accepted reality. Got into a bit of a too and fro with some dude on Youtube insisting that Ben was former SAS before I revealed that I knew the kid personally. The Times of India has a Youtube vid up describing him as a 'former British...Prince Madison likes this.

It's a perfectly legitimate observation my friend, and a thought that does cross my own mind from time to time. After all I have from youth had strong influences from my father, been surrounded by those who are politically disposed to dwell upon the crimes and inequity of the West rather than it's (...Kris Silver likes this.

Yes. Abu Graib does indeed seem to have principally the actions of individuals - ordinary servicemen and women given absolute power over other human beings - much like a tragic real life version of the Stanford experiments. There's a lesson for all of us in there about the nature of humanity and the...

There wasn't torture at Guantanamo then? Abu Graib? Course we use torture although granted typically we don't do it (publicly) on our own territories. We tend to save it for foreigners and even then ship em off to the territories of our less 'civilised' allies to avoid embarrassment....

They haven't been 'caught lying', this is just one dude highlighting some possible idiosyncrasies in the data and putting his own interpretation on em. immediately off the top of my head I can come up with one or two speculative reasons why you might well get smoothed distributions, which are to do w...Eff Pandas likes this.

Watched that one myself and his ideas are actually very much along the same lines as various themes I've introduced to this thread over the course of the last two years. The goal of the US is to maintain global dominance in perpetuity in both the military and economic spheres and it's stated straight...Batko10 likes this.

Lot of interesting **** going on in Africa - one of many battlegrounds for regional influence and resources and of course the US being kicked out of Niger is just one recent part of this play

He's talking about folks with Serbian Otpor - the resistance - anti-Russian, pro-West... one of the NEDs numerous 'pro-democracy' destabilisation projects in the region and a model for other 'colour revolutions' across Eastern Europe and the Mid East. Story doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but...
