Basic Statistics for United States Imperialism
by Cecil - 24 November 2002
Chronological list of interventions
with the purpose of effecting “regime change,”
attempted or materially supported by the United States—whether
primarily by means of overt force (OF), covert operation (CO), or
subverted election (SE):
a) OF and SE imply, necessarily,
prior and continuing CO.
b) OF = directly applied state
terrorism by the United States repressive apparatus i.e. the
Departments of War/Defense, Energy,
Treasury, and State. N.B. the
formation of the National Security Council (1947) and the Office of
Homeland Security (2002).
c) CO = reconnaissance, classical
coups d’etat, legal harassment, disinformation (through media,
legal, NGO, student, labor, and other front groups), bribery,
sabotage, assassination, proxy warfare, running ratlines for fascist
émigré groups, and assorted other clandestine
activities.
d) SE = a particular species of CO, comparatively
non-violent, high plausible deniability, usually involves dumping
tons of cash and campaign technologies into the hands of rightist
groups during elections, sowing discord in leftist parties, buying up
media space in order to destabilize electorates, tampering directly
with ballot results, and hiring jackboots to actively threaten and
brutalize voters in the last resort. NB many subverted elections are
preceded by lengthy terror campaigns (e.g. Nicaragua,
El
Salvador, Yugoslavia, etc).
It should go without saying
that the following entries are simplified; only the major “payoff”
year is listed, where applicable.
Most attempted overthrows were
preceded by lengthy preparations—vast right wing conspiracies,
indeed.
NB that this list remains under construction; new data
will be added in the next installment.

The * indicates
that I’m not clever enough to have found the absent data yet.
Apologies.
“Neutralist” refers to a given regime’s
desire to avoid taking sides with either power bloc in the cold war.
It should be readily
apparent that such is an unforgivable sin
against the foreign policy establishment in the United States.
“Nationalist” refers to a given regime’s
desire to nationalize foreign-owned means of production within its
national boundaries.
It should be readily apparent that such is
an unforgivable sin against the foreign policy establishment in the
United States.

We should keep in
mind that the goals of the imperialist in each of these instances are
multiple: acquisition of access to local “markets” of all
varieties; imposition of neoliberal policy; destruction of any
potential alternative to the techno-fascist ruling order; provision
of incentive for a sprawling parasitical and parastatal
medical-intelligence-military-industrial complex (MIMIC); production
of official “villains” for propaganda purposes;
intimidation of non-combatants (as in the year 1945), and continuing
political hegemony of the transnational elite based in DC.

Chronological list of states held in the manacles of debt-leverage imperialism
:N.B. these states are held in the thralldom of “odious
debt” imposed upon them by (typically) quasi-fascistic regimes
who 1) often enough were empowered via United States state terrorism
and 2) accepted the terms of United States dominated Bretton Woods
restructuring programs.
Many countries found themselves in
dire monetary and fiscal straits in the early 1980s—after the
Nixon shocks, the various oil embargoes, and the Volcker interest
rate hikes. At this time of the debt crisis, the IMF and World Bank
became “lenders of last resort” for regimes unable to
meet balance of payments obligations to imperialist-controlled
banks—but such lending comes
with a cost: dismantle any and
all policies that don’t adhere to the mystical mantras of
neoliberalism (ie such policies as protectionism, capital regulation,
state industry, wage control, labor and environmental regulation,
resistance to currency devaluation, autochthonous/non-export
production, etc had to go); such is the nature of the structural
adjustment program (SAP).
Note further that these policies
were the Reaganites’ answer to the “Crisis of Democracy”
(as defined by the geniuses in the Trilateral Commission) that was
occurring on a global scale and to the relative loss of US
geopolitical power in the late 1970s.
In order to disrupt the
G-77, UNCTAD, and other international movements modeled on the
success of OPEC, the debt crisis and its neoliberal response were
engineered for the sake of ushering in a new world order of managed
friggin’ chaos.
It is good to recall that a number of
countries that have refused SAP have been attacked (e.g., Serbia)
and/or destabilized (e.g., Belarus). It is also prudent to realize
that many an “ethnic,” “religious,” or
otherwise vaguely described “civil” war has been caused
directly by SAP (e.g., Somalia, Yugoslavia).
Moreover note
that the meaning of “debt crisis” is that subjugated
nations that were unable to meet balance of payments obligations to
imperialist-controlled banks threatened the survival of such banks,
and thus this privately held debt was transferred to public
institutions, thereby socializing risk while insuring the sanctity of
corporate profit. (I.e., “crisis” does not here refer to
those horrors being inflicted on subjugated peoples.)

Chronological list of US murder toll
[under construction]
The murder toll has been achieved by
either direct violence (e.g. the firebombing and nuking of Japan or
the firebombing of Dresden) or indirect/proxy “low intensity
conflict” (e.g. Rwanda in the 90s or Nicaragua in the 80s). (I
have not here accounted for the deaths attributable to SAP.)

We should also take note that the United States bears
more than superficial responsibility for the Nazi Holocaust: e.g.,
the turning away of Jewish, Romani, and other refugees; funding the

It seems as though the number one
criterion for getting a job as the head of a client state is a

[the dates provided are sloppily done, I
concede. At times, they are just the general duration of the given
regime (e.g., Selassie). Most others are the duration of US support
while the regime lasted (e.g., Hitler, Saddam Hussein,
etc.)]

Scanning the official public acknowledgment list
here, we clearly see that the US had extreme paranoia about China,
Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama: Open Doors, “uncooperative”
neighbors, and two potential canal zones. Also, check the rationale
in the official Defense Dept. record for each of the above conflict
dates.
Many, many times, we have the “to protect US
interests [or “nationals”] during a crisis” as the
proposed justification. Caveat lector
Noteworthy Covert Operations conducted by the United States.
We should keep in mind that the dates given are the confesseddates

“Low intensity wars” conducted by the United States
and its proxies...
(“medium intensity warfare” =
direct and usually acknowledged involvement of US military apparatus;
“high intensity warfare” = Dr. Strangelove stuff:
“nuclear combat toe-to-toe with the Russkies,” &c).
The primary goal of low intensity conflict is to use proxies,
intelligence, and special forces to destabilize a region and its
official government. The purpose of destabilization is to achieve 1)
access to resources amidst the chaos, 2) delegitimation of an “enemy”
political/economic system, 3) influence over specific local groups,
and 4) depopulation of regions inhabited by
“untermenschen.”
All leftists should learn about low intensity warfare; it is
by far and away one of the most disgusting and useful tools in the
imperialist repertoire. Don’t let the words “low
intensity” trick you: rivers are dammed with corpses and the
fields are sown with the blood of the targeted nation.
1950s:
Poland; Ukraine; Russia, China; Thailand; Burma
1960s: Congo; Vietnam; Laos; Cambodia; Thailand; Burma
1970s:
Congo; Vietnam; Laos; Cambodia
1980s: Congo; Cambodia;
Nicaragua; Afghanistan; Mozambique; Angola; Ethiopia; Yemen; Western
Sahara
1990s: Congo; Cambodia; Afghanistan; Yugoslavia;
Nigeria; Sierra Leone; Guinea-Bissau; Colombia; Liberia; Sudan;
Central African Republic; Equatorial Guinea
Proxy Wars fought
by the United States, which typically involves the use of clients,
dupes, mercenaries, unofficial “volunteers,” and
official, though disavowable, special forces. [under
construction]
contra Soviet Union:
stock-in-trade Cold War
superpower jousting
contra France:
after the Soviet Union
ended all activities in Africa, the US began its
bid to force
French proxies out of North Africa.
contra Germany:
during
the 1990s, Germany and the US used multiple proxies to fight
over
control of the Balkans, with its precious “Corridor 8,”
thereby ruining the
entire region.
contra China: from Cold
War crimes to New World
Order harassment, the US has used many
proxies against the Chinese:
Thai, Tibetan, Burmese, Japanese,
Korean,
Vietnamese, Cambodian, Islamic, Taiwanese.
Foreign policy doctrines
more or less practiced by the United States.
Monroe
Doctrine – western hemisphere = US property; non-whites =
untermenschen
McKinley Doctrine – Open Door Policy i.e.,
China, Pacific = potentially, possibly, most likely US property;
non-whites = untermenschen
Roosevelt Corollary – western
hemisphere = US property, and we mean it this time! non-whites =
untermenschen
Taft Doctrine – Dollar Diplomacy i.e.,
western hemisphere = US property, and we mean economically,
politically, and all other ways; the Middle East = potentially,
possibly, most likely, US property
Wilson Doctrine – 14
Points internationalism (i.e., great powers should respect each
other; to hell with the rest); western hemisphere = US property, and
we really mean it this time! non-whites = untermenschen
Roosevelt
Doctrine – “Good Neighbor Policy!” i.e., western
hemisphere = US property, and we really really really fucking mean
it.
Truman Doctrine – aid to fascists in Greece, Turkey,
the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, western Europe, Eastern Europe,
North Africa, etc. i.e., what Kennan called
“Containment.”
Eisenhower Doctrine – the
Middle East = US property; non-whites = untermenschen; massive
retaliation
Nixon Doctrine – enter neocolonialism:
overthrowing governments, installing clients, using local elites to
manage foreign populations for US advantage i.e., Asia, Africa,
western hemisphere = US property, but we’re gonna try to be
sneaky about it. Overall, see above.
Carter Doctrine –
the Middle East = US property, and we aren’t kidding;
trilateralism
Reagan Doctrine – “Rollback”;
mutually assured destruction; low intensity warfare; support for
rightwing Islamist groups, narcotics smuggling, etc.
Bush I
Doctrine – New World Order; “What we say, goes.”
Clinton
Doctrine – New World Order; “multilaterally if we can,
unilaterally when we must.”
Bush II Doctrine – New
World Order; “unilaterally when we can, multilaterally if we
must.”
Noteworthy propaganda campaigns, hoaxes, and other lies qua casus belli utilized by the United States:
It is well known that German Fascists transformed their
buffoonish leader, Hitler, from a national joke into der Fuhrer die
Reich by means of a) securing moneys from large industrialists and
financiers (they liked his extremely rightwing ideas on race, labor,
religion, nationalism, capitalism, imperialism, etc) and b) by using
multiple propaganda hoaxes in order to sway domestic opinion.
The
Reichstag fire in 1933 allowed for Hitler to be proclaimed leader of
the state as well as for the Night of the Long Knives the following
year (violence against leftists) and all of the anti-jewish bullshit
that came soon after. As we all know, the Reichstag was burned by
fascist thugs and blamed on communists; they even got a disabled
Dutch guy to “admit” to both arson and
communism—smoking gun! woohoo!
In 1938, the Nazis
claimed that they needed to perform a “humanitarian
intervention” in the Sudetenland (in the modern Czech Republic)
in order to stop “ethnic violence.” Of course, it
was Nazi thugs carrying out the “ethnic violence” in the
first place, but never mind that small detail.
In 1939, the
fascists contrived Operation Canned Goods—a faked attack on a
German border patrol, which was allegedly a surprise massacre,
carried out by Polish military personnel. Evil Slavic Untermenschen
Evildoer Terrorists!
Too bad, however, that we now know those
corpses in German uniform shown on Nazi TV to be dead Poles,
kidnapped and murdered; the German public, though, went insane with
jingoism, calling for invasions and genocide.
As we shall see,
this is a technique learned by the Nazis from the masters of such
things in the US (Hitler credited the development of the “Final
Solution” to his study of US treatment of Native Americans),
and something that was then perfected by the US after it recovered
and reconciled with its mad dog Nazi assets during the Cold War.
The overall pattern is using irrelevant, misinterpreted, or
completely fabricated events in order to convince all of the
clarences (who had nothing to gain from militarism, but who were
susceptible to jingoism, racism, ethnocentrism) that…war is a
great fucking idea!
NB that many of these propaganda hoaxes
seem to be more effective now than they were when first
produced.
Also NB, these are the times that the state was
forced, for whatever reasons, to consult with the public—either
Congress or the people. Most US crimes are committed without recourse
to either, or with only a general, vague acknowledgement: “Oh,
that CIA is just protecting Freedom from Evil! We can’t tell
you what they’re doing specifically, because that would
compromise them to the Forces of Darkness!”
1775 –
Britain: so it begins, and the story runs that Evildoer British
imperialists took away Our Liberty, &c.; produced Evil Boston
Massacres, Stamp Acts, Massachusetts Uprisings; and tried to import
tea. While the British were certainly imperialistic, and tea is the
mark of the ruling class in colonial times, we should take heed that
the first offensive of the American War for Independence was a
colonial invasion of Quebec.
Huh?
You mean, before they
even signed the Declaration, the proto-United States was invading
other countries?
You bet.
What’s at stake here is
the Proclamation Line and the Quebec Act, both of which prevented the
fledgling colonies from expanding. And be sure to recall that during
the next US war, a conquest of Canada would again be
attempted.
1812 – Britain: ah…tales
of “naval impressments.”
Too bad that this
narrative, of war caused by US sailors being conscripted, like
slaves, into the British privateering fleet, is a lie; too bad that
the landowners all across the infant US wanted the British, French,
Spanish, and natives off the continent so they could expand their
holdings, import more slaves, and thereby make more money; too bad
that plans for such expansion existed way before the declaration of
hostilities. The keys here are Florida, the Caribbean, and the
western frontier.
1846 – Mexico: the US is forced
to retaliate against the Mexicans, since Mexican troops ruthlessly
attacked US regiments, who just happened to be occupying slave-owning
Texas.
Why would the Evildoers in Mexico do that?
Not,
I hope, because Texas was part of Mexico?
Not, I fear, because
Mexicans were anti-slavery (abolished since 1829)?
Not, I
believe, because the US had aggressively assaulted Mexico multiple
times already, including the original secessionist agitation in
Texas?
No, none of that matters; they’re just
Evil.
1898 – Spain: the “Remember the
Maine!” incident as well as Hearst newspapers proclaiming that
Cuba needed a “humanitarian intervention”—both
obvious lies—help sway people in the US to genocidal furor.
Enter Empire, the subjugation of the people of Guam, Puerto Rico, and
Cuba, and the Philippine genocide.
1917 – Central
Powers: the Lusitania incident and the Zimmerman Telegram fire up
US war fervor; too bad the Wilson administration provoked the Germans
by aiding the British under a flag of “neutrality,”
generated tons of anti-German racialist BS, and managed to invade
every country in the Caribbean, including Mexico several
times.
Also, we needn’t forget that the Wilsonian
declaration of War was timed perfectly with Lenin’s “April
Theses.” All in the name of “protecting democracy,”
from Evildoers, no doubt!
An honest student of history will
note that it’s more like “protecting certain segments of
Kapital from others, whilst destroying genuine democratic
resistance.”
1918 – USSR: “Communists
eat babies!” “Bolsheviks seek to conquer world!’
“International Jewry grabs power in Russia!” “Reds
to start war in India next!” “Socialism and incest:
partners in Sin!”
So ran the newspapers, every day, in
every city, after Czarist absolutism was broken by popular
resistance, no thanks to the US.
Wilson’s administration
used such imbecilic pretenses in a failed attempt to “strangle
bolshevism in its cradle,” as one imperialist from a different
genocidal nation put it. Of course, the real motives behind
western intervention weren’t mentioned: Capital Capital Capital
Capital.
1941 – Axis Powers: the Pearl Harbor
attack was known in advance, no matter how “sudden” or
how much “infamy” Roosevelt would later claim for it. NB
FDR’s well-planned provocation strategy to ensure that Japan
would attack the US, thus allowing the US to dictate terms to the
rest of the world, which would be destroyed by war’s end.
NB
that the overrated Operation Overlord was delayed just long enough
for the Soviet Union to be shattered by Kapital’s mad dog
Hitler, but just timely enough to prevent the Soviets from taking out
all of the fascists in Europe, from the Volga to Gibraltar.
1945
– Japan: event—nukes; propaganda lie—“saving
Japanese and American lives”; bitter truth—self-serving
genocide and terrorism to intimidate Stalin. Only assholes can
believe the US story here.
1950 – DPRK: despite
claims that “the Totalitarian North ruthlessly invaded the Free
South,” it looks as though a communist North reacted to a long
series of provocations carried out by a fascistic South, which
included border skirmishes, coordinated raids, and artillery battery.
But who cares? America to the rescue! Of fascism.
1952 –
East Germany: despite Soviet attempts to get out of Berlin,
requiring only assurances from the US that Germany would be a)
democratic, b) demilitarized, c) united, and d) neutral, the US
insisted on the precarious, ignorant status quo, obviously preferring
it to the just Soviet proposal. Up, then, went the Berlin Wall in
1961, which was called an act of tyranny by moronic US commentators,
but was intended by the Soviet Union to keep fascists, CIA
operatives, saboteurs, assassins, and other agents of Kapital away.
This event is largely responsible for much escalation of the Cold War
during 50s, which would predictably and wrongly be blamed on the
USSR.
1953 – Iran: Commies are gonna get us! Or
so it was said by flag-waving retards.
The unfortunate truth: a
democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources for
its own benefit.
The US disagreed with Mossadegh.
1954
– Guatemala: Commies are gonna get us! Or so it was said by
flag-waving retards.
The unfortunate truth: a democratic regime
thought it was allowed to use its own resources for its own benefit.
The US disagreed with Arbenz.
1964 – Vietnam:
the USS Maddox got hit by some lightning, but LBJ thought it’d
be a good idea to bow before the banking cartels, the Seven Sisters,
the Pentagon, and crusty McCarthyoids, thereby inventing the notion
that the (repeat the old script) Red North ruthlessly invaded the
Free South—or, at least they ruthlessly attacked an innocent US
naval vessel in international waters.
Turns out that there
was no attack, that the ship was in Hanoi’s waters, and was
not-at-all-innocently deploying special forces and other
anti-communist swine into the North for the normal roster of
Kapitalist Karnage.
1973 – Chile: Commies are
gonna get us! Or so it was said by flag-waving retards.
The
unfortunate truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use
its own resources for its own benefit.
The US disagreed with
Allende.
1981 – Nicaragua: Commies are gonna get
us! Or so it was said by flag-waving retards.
The unfortunate
truth: a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own
resources for its own benefit.
The US disagreed with
Ortega.
1983 – Grenada: Commies are gonna get us!
Or so it was said by flag-waving retards.
The unfortunate truth:
a democratic regime thought it was allowed to use its own resources
for its own benefit.
The US disagreed with Bishop.
1986
– Libya: Evil Terrorist Nation! Quit doing Terrorist
things! We will bomb you!
Turns out that the Libyans weren’t
responsible, after all, for the acts of “terror” of which
they’d been accused.
Hmm…a high publicity bombing
mission right in the middle of the Iran-Contra Affair?
What a
coincidence!
And at a time when Gorbachev was making peaceful
overtures and the US was in danger of having no enemies?
Amazingly
coincidental!
1989 – Panama: They said that
Noriega was an Evildoer Drugdealer! You must go Evil Doper! USA All
The Way! Humanitarian Intervention!
We should mention that Noriega
was attempting to institute some democratic reforms and social
services, had been a CIA asset, and largely oversaw US drug
smuggling—and could document his and US involvement in the
Iran-Contra Affair.
But why trouble anyone with the facts?
Especially the fact that the true meaning of the words
“Operation Just Cause” is that US Delta Force teams
secretly attacked US Army units so that the US could claim
“Panamanian terrorists are shooting us!”
1991 –
Kuwait: the famous “dead babies” hoax, which was
revealed to be a lie.
Other tidbits: Kuwait had provoked Iraq in
numerous ways; Iraq got approval from its imperial master, the US,
before invading; Bush had personal investments in the region; and US
strategy had long called for a way to control the Gulf States
directly.
With the USSR gone and the Kuwait-Iraq border
dispute, the US now had both pretext and opportunity.
1992
– Bosnia: never mind all of the dead Serbs. Instead, check
out this photo!
The Evil Serb Evildoers have Evilly put some guy
in a concentration camp at Trnopolje!
Look at the barbed
wire!
Look at how starved he is!
Oh…wait a
minute…looks like that the barbed wire is around someone’s
shed, that the photographer is in the shed, that the starving guy is
a refugee on the outside of the barbed fence, that the headline
“Belsen 92” is a lie, that there were no concentration
camps, and that the entire series of US operations in the early 1990s
were resurrected Nazi policies on Yugoslavia, which still maintained
some socialistic economic policies.
Well, I’ll be
damned: another “humanitarian intervention” for
Kapitalism.
1993 – Somalia: Yet another
“Humanitarian intervention!”
Thing is, the famine was
nearly over, the US wasn’t anywhere near where it had been, the
Somalis already hated the US for thrusting Barre on them, and the US
was only there now for 1) oil prospecting, 2) uranium mining, 3)
military basing, 4) public relations, and 5) a “paid
advertisement” for the Pentagon, in Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs Colin Powell’s cynical phrase..
1998 –
Sudan: Evil terrorists are making VX nerve gas in that big
factory! Tomahawk it!
Turns out, though, that the plant
manufactured antibiotics for half the country. Given that the Sudan
was in the midst of a disease crisis, the destruction of their
medical infrastructure only served to exacerbate the problem.
How
many died as a result?
Who knows—the US, as is typical,
doesn’t care to investigate, apologize, or acknowledge.
1999
– Kosovo: “Humanitarian intervention!”
Now for something completely different.
Racak,
Srebrenica, Izbica, Trepca—all more complicated than they seem,
as according to numerous international organizations, the FBI, and so
on. Ethnic cleansing? Only if we are talking about the
cleansing of Serbs by NATO. And the banner hoax here: the “Serbian
MIG,” allegedly attacking civilians, is revealed as a fraud in
state-press photos, which obviously display English writing on the
alleged fuselage.
2001 – Afghanistan: Evil
Terrorists got us! We will get them back!
Of course, the true
story is much more complicated, involving US complicity, deception,
and strategic planning at all levels, as noted in the recent
historical record (cf. “the complete 9/11 timeline”).
2002 – ? Iraq: Evil! Smite Evil! Get oil!
Did
I say oil?
I meant that Evildoer tried to kill my daddy! One
excellent hoax, besides the manufactured general “threat”
rhetoric, is the alleged 15 kg of “weapons-grade uranium”
recovered in Turkey in mid 2002, allegedly bound for Iraq from
“Eastern Europe.” Too bad that this “weapons-grade
uranium” has “Made in West Germany” written on
it—in English.
