The reality of this vast military empire has come to light in Bahrain, where the authoritarian government against opposition with arrests, imprisonment, torture and even murder is going on. course, this is a familiar story, an encounter, which the Americans daily. People put their lives in the attempt to overthrow brutal authoritarian dictatorships - dictatorships, partners, allies, friends and loyal members of the empire of the United States of America ... and recipient of billions of dollars of aid the United States of America, which serve not only to fill the private pockets of the dictators and their henchmen, but also finance the instruments of torture and the salaries of the guards and torturers. Now, in Bahrain, we see another factor that plays with the support of dictatorships by the United States of America - foreign military bases in the United States of America - one of hundreds around the world. The dictatorship in Bahrain has allowed the empire, set up a base here for the Fifth Fleet of the Empire and operate.
Why should it surprise anyone then, that the Government of the United States of America, especially the General Staff, the "order and stability" favors associated with dictatorship? Hey, democracy is unpredictable. The people could not have wanted that a foreign regime in their country runs a large military base. We need only look to Okinawa, where people try everything to stop the military long-term occupation by the United States of America. Would not be upset about most Americans, when foreign regimes, including Muslim, huge military bases here would operate in the United States of America?
When it comes to military bases in the United States of America is going to deal with dictators easier to maintain, especially when billions of taxpayer dollars in the United States of America and military equipment (which can be used to suppress the opposition), where the Empire in the hands of the dictatorship. All this makes for a cozy relationship. We fill your pockets with money and give you the military equipment to get your dictatorship upright, and can you tell us run our military base.
The imperialists say that the Fifth Fleet is the flow of oil to the West safe. This is silly. It's like a fly on the wheel, under the illusion of driving the car. Or, as the cock crows every morning and is convinced that his crowing makes the sun rise.
is the Empire of the United States of America and its huge overseas military installations there is no alternative. The Empire is convinced that it is his presence in the Middle East, which ensures the flow of oil, which is needed by the West (including the massive military machine of the government of the United States of America, which itself consumes so much of the oil).
Not at all. The world would work very well without the presence of the Empire. The owners of the oil would sell their oil in the market, other things like people all over the world sell. People sell things to make money. Venezuela, its agent, the government hate the United States of America sold, nevertheless oil to the United States of America, not because the Navy of the United States of America is forcing it to, but because Venezuela will have the money.
Although owners choose to something that is theirs, not yours, that's their right. This is part of what makes an owner - the decision whether to sell and on what terms. The widespread protests in the Middle East to bring the ugly reality of foreign policy the United States of America in the consciousness of the American people. While most Americans sympathize with the people who are putting their lives in the resistance against tyranny on the line, Americans must accept the disturbing fact to note that it is their own government just who is responsible in large part to the tyranny to fight against these people. Through a combination of foreign aid and military bases abroad, the government has made the United States of America to the partners of the tyrannical regime, rebel against the citizens of these countries now, and these pampered, trained and supported. If all are not intended to adhere to the Americans and also begin to think, to create the model of the Empire and the assistance that our country had so long in the grip, including the end of all foreign aid, the closure of all foreign bases and the withdrawal of all troops and their release? If it now bring the peoples of the Middle East against the dictatorships they have suppressed for so long brutal, there is not ready even for the American people the time to repair the model of a republic within the limits of the Constitution and on the basis of non-interference, on which our nation was founded?
