USA Legacy in Central and South America and Connection to Migrant Crisis

“.. The major population of refugees entering the U.S. are coming from four countries in Central America: Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, which comprise the “Northern Triangle.” Violence there is apocalyptically bad — especially in El Salvador, where the murder rate was an eye-popping 60 per 100,000 in 2017 (and that is itself a sharp decline from 81.2 in 2016 and over 100 the year before that.) .. ”

WHY?

“.. In brief, these countries have a severe gang problem, rooted in the drug trade and decades of political instability. The United States bears a great deal of responsibility for both. The U.S. started and then fueled a decades-long civil war in Guatemala that killed some 200,000 civilians. It fueled the 12-year civil war in El Salvador with money and arms. It armed right-wing death squads in Nicaragua that used Honduras as an operating base. Most of the big gangs are directly descended from demobilized soldiers and militias.

Then there is the drug trade, which is a major profit center for gangs. Central America is the biggest conduit for cocaine coming from growers in South America to customers in the U.S., and trafficking is both immensely profitable and the cause of violent turf wars. Again the U.S. both created the conditions for drug profits through its domestic drug prohibition policy, and directly fueled violent conflict by pushing a policy throughout the region of attacking drug gangs with the military. Disrupting existing gangs turned out to actually escalate violence dramatically, as new gangs fought to control the vacated territory and business…”

From The Week

Why won’t the US decriminalize drugs? Because the CIA skims the poppy exports from Afghanistan for its black budget ops .. this is why we are still in Afghanistan fighting an unwinnable war .. STUPID POLITICIANS .. killing our soldiers and innocent civilians in Central and South America .. what a legacy.

US (Israel/ISIS) UNINVITED Involvement in Syria is Over?

There are signs that the long expected liberation of the Daraa region in southwest Syria is about to begin. After a month of negotiations between Russia, Israel, Jordan and the U.S. no peaceful solution has been found. The various terrorist forces in the (green) area, including al-Qaeda aligned HTS and groups loyal to the Islamic State, have rejected all negotiations. For over a month Russian negotiators tried to convince locals to give up and to reconcile with the government. But the hardliners under the rebels have killed anyone who talked with the Russians. The U.S. government has warned against a Daraa operation and threatened to intervene.

So things changed over the weekend since this article was written the middle of last week as demands from the US to NOT start this clean-up in southwestern Syria have diminished … and it seems that this might be one of the major agreements that John Bolton is prepping for the July Putin-Trump summit.

About 4:50 minutes into Ron’s Paul’s Liberty Report you will hear some of the great news. I would hope this signals the end to the stupid CIA move to attempt to use their ISIS forces in Syria to further the USA’s distribution of democracy which has ruined the infrastructures in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya not to mention making millions of war refugees and driving Christians from all three of these countries.

Reflecting back over 150 years ago, just imagine if the British Empire would have not only inserted rebels in the United States but then followed up with “boots on the ground” for force “regime change” to get Lincoln out of office. Yup, you got it, the same people today who says Assad has to go would not be for the first Republican president being overthrown by another nation’s rebel-backed forces or forces of their own.

Maybe someone looked at history this weekend and remembered how complicated it was then major forces are at work in areas under wartime duress. Maybe they remembered the “Trent Affair” where:

So on November 8, 1861, he [ U.S. naval officer, Captain Charles Wilkes ]steamed out into the Bahama Channel, fired twice across the Trent’s bow, sent a boat’s crew aboard, seized the Confederate commissioners, and bore them off in triumph to the United States, where they were held prisoner in Boston. Wilkes was hailed as a national hero. Congress voted him its thanks, and Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles commended him.

This triggered an uproar in Britain. Eleven thousand British troops were sent to Canada, the British fleet was put on a war footing, with plans to capture New York City, and a sharp note was dispatched to Washington demanding return of the prisoners and an apology. Lincoln, concerned about Britain entering the war, issued an apology and ordered the prisoners released.
