Proxy Wars: They Don’t Exist
In spite of the daily deluge from the media, there is no competing force in Syria, for example, that relies upon Russia, China, or any other superpower to defeat the “rebel” forces that are financed, armed and supported militarily by the U.S. The supposed civil war in Syria is nothing short of a fabricated armed and violent “civil uprising” fostered and reinforced by our Pentagon to overthrow Bashar Assad’s government. Similarly, throughout the world, it is the U.S. manipulating and controlling NATO or some other U.S. military or intelligence front group, and waging our own war against a weaker country that is receiving little, if any, military assistance from any other nation. It is solely the U.S. that creates these uprisings, insurrections, and wars to fight our battles for us. In other words, we hire mercenaries, disenchanted locals from other countries, or “concocted rebels” to do our dirty work internationally.By misrepresenting these war zones as “proxy wars” the Pentagon pretends that our illegal drive to overthrow governments on our “Don’t Like List” is somehow a two-sided struggle between superpowers. It is a carefully planned and manipulated charade.
Superpowers fighting through proxy armies? Nonsense! The U.S. Congress just passed a $606 billion dollar military budget while at the same time it told the American people to live a more “austere” existence. Billionaire corporations, gangster banksters, and rapacious oil companies forage throughout the world to seize the wealth of other peoples and nations, all with the blessing and military support of the Pentagon, which is about as accountable to the American people as the Koch brothers.Not only are we confronted with the recent congressional hearings relating to CIA gun-running under the auspices of “Fast and Furious,” but in the last two weeks, news of our latest imperial adventures in Africa has come to light under a new rubric. Instead of using the T-word, “terrorism,” the U.S. is now “training friendly forces” to fight a “war on drugs.” These words will, of course, be much more palatable internationally and locally (especially to the American population) and excuse the inevitable violence and death that we are exporting to that region. Yet, such American policies as “Fast and Furious” are in full gear in Mexico, throughout Central and South America, in Africa, and if not already, soon will be in Asia. It is all about dominion over a region’s resources and wealth.The people of the world understand that American troops, as the saying goes, are coming to a theater near you.
