AmeriKKKa’s Imperialistic Patterns Keep Repeating Themselves Because They Work

“The main obstacle was that Americans did not want any involvement in European wars. Some kind of incident, such as the explosion of the battleship Main, which provoked the Spanish - American war, would have to be provided as provocation. This occurred when the Lusitania, carrying 128 Americans on board, was sunk by a German submarine, and anti-German sentiment was aroused. When war was declared, U.S. propaganda portrayed all Germans as Huns and fanged serpents, and all Americans opposing the war as traitors. What was not revealed at the time, however, was that the Lusitania was transporting war munitions to England, making it a legitimate target for the Germans. Even so, they had taken out large ads in the New York papers, asking that Americans not take passage on the ship. The evidence seems to point to a deliberate plan to have the ship sunk by the Germans. Colin Simpson, author of The Lusitania, wrote that Winston Churchill, head of the British Admiralty during the war, had ordered a report to predict the political impact if a passenger ship carrying Americans was sunk. German naval codes had been broken by the British, who knew approximately where all U-boats near the British Isles were located. According to Simpson, Commander Joseph Kenworthy, of British Naval Intelligence, stated: "The Lusitania was deliberately sent at considerably reduced speed into an area where a U-boat was known to be waiting...escorts withdrawn." Thus, even though Wilson had been reelected in 1916 with the slogan "He kept us out of war," America soon found itself fighting a European war. Actually, Colonel House had already negotiated a secret agreement with England, committing the U.S. to the conflict. It seems the American public had little say in the matter.”- From: The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and The New World Order by William Blase

As we watch AmeriKKKa sink into the abys of depravity and immorality in its quest for empire, if we astutely reflect on this nation’s history; we see a discernable pattern that makes current events not only obvious but rather predictable. Take 9-11 for example, this scenario, where the ruling elites already had planned a war, use an even they at least knew about before hand as a pretext to engage in a war they had planned months or years in advance. September 11, 2001 was the catastrophic event that the ruling elites used to traumatize and bamboozle the AmeriKKKan public, a group of people easily distracted and fooled, into allowing the elites almost begging them to take the nation to war. If you study history this scenario has been used successfully many times; not merely because human being are creatures of habit, but because they work! Going back into US history we see this same pattern played out over and over again; beginning with the Mexican American War (1846-49 . President James K. Polk who coveted California and had promised during his presidential campaign to bring California and Oregon under US control sent General Zachary Taylor into Mexican (supposedly disputed territory). They crossed the Rio Grand and were in Mexico when Taylor’s troops came upon some Mexican soldiers. Taylor and his men moved on the Mexicans challenged them, shots were fired and Taylor wired President Polk he was attacked by Mexicans. Polk used the incident to ask Congress to declare war on Mexico. Out of that War which America won handily US territory increased measurably due to the addition of Texas (which Polk’s predecessor John Tyler had already illegally attempted to annex), New Mexico, Arizona and California. FYI, the Mexican-American War was fought using mainly volunteers! Keep this scenario in mind and compare it to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, seventy-eight years later. On April 25, 1898 the US declared war on Spain following an explosion of a US battleship the USS Maine in the harbor of Havana Cuba a Spanish possession. However prior to the Main’s sinking US media moguls William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer whipped their readers into a frenzy in anticipation and instigation of war with Spain. US business interests had long coveted Cuba, plotted and schemed to capitalize on their huge investments in the local Cuban economy. The Cuban liberation struggle offered the pretext and the explosion and sinking of The Maine provided the excuse they needed to go to war. Out of that war the US gained Puerto Rico, Guam and indirect hegemony over Cuba. Note although there was a US Navy investigation no cause for the explosion was ever found!! Fast forward to the Twentieth Century and we see Europeans doing what they do best waging war and shedding blood. AmeriKKKa got involved in these fracases using lies and surreptitious maneuvering to accomplish their ends. The excuse used for AmeriKKKa entering WW I was the sinking of the Lusitania, that was the psychological rallying cry; AmeriKKKan lives were lost. But the Lusitania was a set up. It was carrying arms, supplies and munitions to England. Germany knew this, took out ads in New York papers urging AmeriKKKan citizens not to sail on the ship and subsequently attacked the ship because it was carrying weapons and rams to their enemy Britain. The set up went like this: the British had broken the German military codes, they knew where German U Boats were patrolling and allowed the Lusitania, which was carrying arms, to go unescorted where it would probably be attacked and sunk by German U Boats. Wilson used this as a pretext to enter the war. Records reveal he and his handlers had already committed to finding a way to enter the war on the side of England. The same scenario happened in WW II. Read Robert Stinnent’s carefully researched book Day of Deceit about how Roosevelt used economic means to provoke Japan into attacking the US and set Pearl Harbor up to be the target. Like 9-11 the president of the United States had foreknowledge of an attack and used it as an excuse to go to war. For the Vietnam War we know the Gulf of Tonkin incident Johnson used to escalate the conflict into a full scale war never happened the way the CIA said it did. In fact almost all the details they provided were lies. The USS Maddox was not in international waters it was off the coast of North Viet Nam providing cover for a clandestine CIA insertion mission but North Viet Nam never fired upon the ship!! Like the bombing of Afghanistan, the Iraq invasion and occupation, the upbeat military predictions and reports belie the real numbers of civilian and US casualties. But these psychopaths don’t care, all they want is their god (gold, oil and drugs)!
I’ve mentioned these incidents to point out how the ruling elites operate, how they use lies and psychological and cultural manipulation (fear, revenge, grief, the mass media ) to psyche the masses into doing what they’ve already planned and plotted to get what they want, the expropriation of other people’s lands, labor and resources. The reason they continue to do it is because their tactics work!!! All the imperialistic wars I’ve mentioned and the numerous “police actions” and “interventions” I haven’t cited all used a variation of the same theme, manipulation, reaction, results. If you think I’m overly harsh check out Operation Northwoods on your browser; or just think about all the specious and scurrilous lies white people have told about us to rationalize how they treat and have treated us and you will see through the lies they are telling us now about the War on Terrorism. What you do about this eye opening material is up to you but think about all the innocent people who have perished at the hands of these psychopaths, think about the additional lives that will be lost as their megalomania, hubris and bloodlust rachet to the point Iraq becomes a trans-generational war. Public opposition ended the carnage in Viet Nam ( a war that was really about the control of the Asian drug trade), if we really wanted to break the cycle and change the pervading cultural paradigm from warmongering to peace we could. The question is, how badly do we desire peace?
