The CIA Gets It Wrong -- Again: It Answers Only To The Corporations That Own It
30 December 2013
By Jane Stillwater
The CIA really screwed up back in 1961 when it plotted
to murder Patrice Lumumba -- and just look at the mess
it created in all of central Africa as a result, even
today. The CIA also blew it bigtime when it
assassinated the democratically-elected president of
Iran back in 1952 -- and Iran has pretty much been one
of the CIA's biggest headaches ever since.
And of course there was also the CIA's famous Mandela
fiasco -- wherein "The Company" supported apartheid in
South Africa and schemed to have Mandela thrown in
jail. No wonder Raul Castro was so welcome at
Mandela's funeral. Cuba was a major anti-apartheid
player, while the CIA once again stood on the wrong
side of history, supported the Bad Guys and helped
engineer the evils of bantustans, mass torture,
dumpasses and the cold-blooded slaughter of school
girls -- plus the CIA, like one other dynasty I could
mention right now, also put out false propaganda that
South Africa was awash with happy Blacks picking
cotton.
The CIA's next total blunder took place in Chile. How
many thousands and thousands were tortured and killed
there for no reason as a result of CIA interference in
a democratically-elected government there? According
to the Washington Post, the number was 32,197 -- but
we may never know the real statistics for sure. Let's
list Chile as another political (and moral) failure
for "The Agency".
Don't even get me started on Vietnam. Or Cambodia. A
land-war in Asia? Never a good idea.
And let's not forget the CIA's disgusting and ugly
ongoing disaster in Central America, starting in 1954
when the CIA drew up a "disposal list" to
systematically assassinate 58 of Guatemala's
democratically-elected leaders in order to install the
worst sort of dictators there. This illegal and
immoral strategy eventually cost American taxpayers
untold billions of dollars -- yet another big "Fail"
for the "Certified Incompetents of America".
And even today, when farmers in Honduras, El Salvador
and Guatemala go out to plow their fields, they are
still finding silent graves filled with whitened bones
planted there by CIA-backed Death Squads. That whole
decade of the 1980s was just one big blood bath after
another in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. I
shudder to even think about it. So much shame is
there. And so much bad PR for America.
But let's not forget Iraq either, the CIA at its very
lowest ebb. False intel there. A trillion dollars
frittered away on creating corpses -- a million of
them by some counts. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
And the CIA-backed neo-cons in Israel have also been a
big failure. Those IDF blackshirts have turned out to
be nothing more than Cossacks in sheep's clothing as
they run their viscous pogroms through the Christian
and Muslim shtetls of the West Bank and Gaza.
Not to mention CIA failures in Afghanistan, Libya,
Syria, Belfast, Beirut, Georgia, Cuba, Grenada and
Dallas. You can always count on the CIA to back the
wrong players and/or play the wrong game. The whole
Middle East is in flames today, thanks to the CIA. Not
to mention the alleged blow-back in 2001 at the World
Trade Center -- or was that just another one of the
CIA's failed war games too? Either way, America also
lost bigtime here due to the CIA.
Thank goodness there was no CIA during the 1861 Civil
War. It would have supported the Confederacy of course
-- and with the "Virginia Farm Boys" covering his
back, General Lee would have lost even sooner than he
did. Or imagine if "The Agency" had been around during
the 1776 Revolution! With the kind of help that it has
to offer, we'd still be saluting the Queen and sipping
High Tea. And the CIA would have just loved George
Armstrong Custer. "There are not enough Indians in the
world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry." Sounds like CIA
spies wrote that report.
"But Jane," you might ask, "if the CIA has had so many
abominable black marks against it and such dismal
failures on its books, how come 'The Company' hasn't
gone bankrupt yet?" That's a very good question. If
any other corporation in America had failed its
customers this often, abysmally and immorally, one
would think that it would have been forced to go
bankrupt a long time ago. Its publicly-traded stock
would have been worthless and laughed at. But not this
"Company". Apparently the CIA leads a very charmed
life.
I occasionally wish that I could do something like
that too -- start a business and know for sure and
always that no matter what wrong thing I would ever do
with it, what ever bad business decision I would ever
make or how often I would horribly screw up, I would
still automatically make almost a hundred billion a
year anyway. Wouldn't that be cool -- to just sit back
and receive corporate welfare like "The Agency" does,
no matter how badly I blow it. Those CIA people
certainly do have it all going on.
"But Jane," you might also ask, "the CIA is a
government operation, not a corporation." Yeah right.
You just keep telling yourself that. The CIA never has
to answer to We the People. It answers only to the
corporations that own it. That's not "government".
Government, in a true democracy, must be of service to
its people. And how the freak have We ever been served
by having America's reputation shredded to ribbons
throughout the world?
PS: In a recent article in the Berkeley Daily Planet,
George Lakoff wrote about how neo-cons use the word
"redistribution" in a very negative way, like it's a
freaking crime to take from the rich and give to the
poor.
But where in the freak do rich people actually think
that they got all their "trickle down" money in the
first place? From poor working stiffs like you and me,
of course. Duh. It's called "Trickle up".
Hell, if it weren't for strikes and unions and
grassroots political candidates like Alan Grayson and
Elizabeth Warren, you and I would all be running
around in loincloths and working 18-hour days right
now so that the rich could get even richer. So isn't
it high time for us to "redistribute" some money back
into our own pockets where it came from in the first
place? Yeah, duh.
PPS: Spoiler alert -- unrelated topic:
WHY do so many neo-cons have their knickers all in a
twist right now over the use of the word "Holiday"? I
don't get it. Isn't the word "Holiday" an abbreviation
of the phrase "Holy Day"? So Fox News is now saying
that Christmas isn't holy? Huh?
