America's war against democracy

The West knows a lot about the crimes of others. They have their intelligence and the media to show the whole world. The question however is, if they know anything about the crimes that they have committed.

The missing word here is 'empire'. And when i talk of 'West', i believe most of us would interpret it as USA, and that is what i intend. The existence of American empire is really acknowledged and smothered in jingoism that i think ~celebrates~ war and an arrogance that says that no country has the right to go in its own way that does not coincide with the interests of America.

Empires have nothing to do with freedom. They are vicious. They are about conquests, thefts, threats, control and secrets. One little secret that is no longer so, is that America has planned coups against over 50 countries and governments since 1945. Some attacked, others bombed, governments replaced by dictators that form 'pro-Washington' leaders. To  mention some: Saddam Hussein was supported by USA, Taliban was erected by USA, Bin Laden is the brother of a Sheikh who's oil fields have heavy investment from George Bush..

Today i saw an interview, of an ex CIA agent. He said that it is US policy to eradicate anything and anyone who acts in a way that defies the interests of America. The US has termed domestic turnarounds of Latin American nations, namely Chile, Venezuela, Nicaragua, as National Security Issues and tried to suppress national socialist movements by means of coups, assasinations, kidnappings, direct and indirect political influences. All these Latin American governments wanted was to use their oil for domestic upliftment. By the people, for the people, to the people. But US had a problem because it was denied access to these foreign resources.

"false imprisonments, threats to their family members and virtually any method necessary to get what they you want. If you can't get a person to give you information, or to co-operate, or shut up, you simply assassinate them with one of you death squads."

This means that it is the US policy to destroy democracy. They are trying to create an empire. Like that in the Castle Age.

Now these leaders, under the influence of US, are amongst the elite business folks of a country who have made their way to a class of global citizens. These are the people who think that they belong to the world. Nothing wrong in that. But when world means Miami and Beverly Hills, problems arise for their country.

In today's context we can understand what US calls democracy-

"it is fine if a government is elected and would co-operate with us, if it doesn't then democracy doesn't mean anything to us.."

"How dare you have a different form of government with policies that are not aligned to our interests. How dare you do not allow American corporations to buy you out? How dare you continue this arrogance and say that you will never succumb to us? Don't you know who we are? Don't you know who these corporations are? Don't you know that your life would be better if you could drink Coca Cola everyday"

George Bush once called India the largest democracy of the world. I wonder what he meant by 'democracy'.
