Leon Panetta has announced that they will be stepping up drone strikes and black bag operations in Africa and everywhere else including “outside declared combat zones’ due to the “terrorist attack’ on the CIA consulate in Benghazi this past Sept. 11th
Panetta’s declaration is one that Cheney would certainly have been proud of. He is stating that “we” will be running unconventional warfare black ops against all kinds of targets even outside declared combat zones meaning that our Special Forces Ops will be hitting “leftist” targets, people who organize labor or resistance to our imperial project in their nations. We will simply be kicking in their doors at 3 am and dragging them out to never be seen or heard from again…
This is exactly what I said the Benghazi psyop was all about: creating a pretext to run these kinds of death squad ops all across Africa taking out people who stand in the way of our business interests.
We might as well include U.S. Special Forces in with the Ton Ton Macuoutes, SAVOK, and the Contras. Same thing, different patch. far right wing death squads. Only difference is, these guys have the full backing of the Department of Defense and for the next 4 years, the American “liberals”…
The quotation marks around the word “liberals” above are very important. Liberal means not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry. “Liberal” means blind. “Liberals” cannot see the wolf:
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was bitterly right when he said US president Barack Obama “seems to be a nice man, and that is precisely the problem” and aptly described him as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”.
Under the pretext of combating terrorism, Obama has followed in the footsteps of former President George Bush and even intensified the killer drone attacks in different parts of the world, a move which has terminated in the unfortunate deaths of multitudes of innocent people. President Obama argues that the drone strikes are focused efforts to exterminate people who are on a list of active terrorists and that they have not caused huge human losses.
Pakistani lawyer Shahzad Akbar, who represents families of civilians killed in US killer drone strikes, says, “Either President Obama is lying to the nation, or he is too naive, to believe on the reports which CIA is presenting to [him].”
In a similar strain, Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK has said:
“So many people who spoke out against George [W.] Bush’s extraordinary rendition and Guantánamo and indefinite detention have been very quiet when it comes to the Obama administration, who is not putting people in those same kind of conditions, instead is just taking them out and killing them. So we need to make people speak up and say that when Obama says this [program] is on a tight leash, this is not true, this is a lie.”…
