Who funds Colonialism and Fascism?
Where does The money come from?
And Where does it go?
War is a capitalistic Business by other means...
How capitalism has toppled governments
And undermines democracy.
Fascism Is Here…
And fascists have money financed by big business donors.
Its old hidden mantra is ‘profit before people.’
I recall Grenada, Chile, Gough Whitlam- Iran, Syria, and the French connection-many-see below.

As large numbers of American GIs in Vietnam got hooked on heroin, the CIA's Air America transported opium from Hmong territory in the Plain of Jars to General Vang Pao's heroin labs in Long Tieng and Vientiane for shipment to Vietnam.
then instead there’s the "disguised, quiet, media-free" approach to war -Often fraudulently justified by the UN Security Council as an effort to protect civilians, ask them…
Where ‘loyalist’ towns were bombed to rubble and ethnically cleansed, and the country was in chaos as Western-trained and -armed Islamist militias seize territory-oil facilities and vie for power.

Ask the Kuomintang generals who, After the Chinese Revolution, moved into northern Burma and became powerful drug lords, with Thai military protection, financing from Taiwan and with air transport and logistical support from the CIA.
The CIA maintained these forces as a bulwark against communist China but they transformed the "golden triangle" into the world's largest opium producer.
Ask Anastasio Somoza who once ruled Nicaragua as his personal fiefdom for 43 years with unconditional U.S. support, After he was finally overthrown by the Sandinista Revolution in 1979, the CIA recruited, trained and supported "contra" mercenaries to invade Nicaragua and conduct terrorism to destabilize the country. So ask the CIA.
the International Court of Justice found the United States guilty of aggression against Nicaragua for deploying the contras and mining Nicaraguan ports. The court ordered the U.S. to cease its aggression and pay war reparations to Nicaragua, but they have never been paid.
Ask Manuel Noriega Whom U.S. drug enforcement officials wanted to arrest in 1971 when he was the chief of military intelligence in Panama. They had enough evidence to convict him of drug trafficking, but he was also a long-time agent and informer for the CIA,-so like other drug-dealing CIA agents from Marseille to Macao- he was untouchable. He was collecting at least $100,000 per year from the U.S. Treasury. As he rose to be the de facto ruler of Panama.
Ask Filippino human rights activists who report that the increased aid coincides with increased military death squad operations against civilians. In three years there were at least 158 people killed by death squads.
Ask Syrians About when flying weapons and militiamen from Libya were flown to the "Free Syrian Army" base in Turkey in unmarked NATO planes.- "Friends of Syria."
"Plan B," wasn’t an alternative peace plan, but a commitment to war escalation, offering support, money and weapons to the jihadis in Syria to make sure they ignored the Kofi Annan peace plan and kept fighting.
Qatar has spent $3 billion and flown in planeloads of weapons, Saudi Arabia has shipped weapons from Croatia, and Western and Arab royalist special forces have trained thousands of increasingly radicalized fundamentalist jihadis, now allied with al-Qaeda.
Western leaders still value regime change more than peace. .. the U.S. and its allies are still willing to fight to the last Syrian.
So it seems that there’s always plenty of money to spare if you’re on the side of fascism.
Uruguay asked Dan Mitrione if he worked for the U.S. Office of Public Safety, a division of the US Agency for International Development. Mitrione's training sessions- reportedly included torturing homeless people to death with electric shocks to teach his students how far they could go… ask him.
In Yugoslavia NATO's proxy ground force in its aggression against Yugoslavia was the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), led by Hashim Thaci.
Thaci ran a criminal organization called the Drenica group which sent more than 400 captured Serbs to Albania to be killed so that their organs could be extracted and sold for transplant. Hashim Thaci became the Prime Minister of the NATO protectorate of Kosovo.
Patrice Lumumba, the president of the pan-Africanist Mouvement National Congolais, took part in the Congo's struggle for independence and became the Congo's first elected Prime Minister in 1960.
He was deposed in a CIA-backed coup led by Joseph-Desire Mobutu, his Army Chief of Staff. Mobutu handed Lumumba over to the Belgian-backed separatists and Belgian mercenaries he had been fighting in Katanga province, and he was shot by a firing squad led by a Belgian mercenary.
Mobutu abolished elections and appointed himself president in 1965, and ruled as a dictator for 30 years. He killed political opponents in public hangings, had others tortured to death, and eventually embezzled at least $5 billion, while Zaire, as he renamed it, remained one of the poorest countries in the world. But U.S. support for Mobutu continued.
Zaire continued to receive 50% of all U.S. military aid to sub-Saharan Africa.
Ask Major Joe Blair who was the director of instruction at the U.S. School of the Americas (SOA) from 1986 to 1989.
He described the training he oversaw at SOA as the following:
"The doctrine that was taught was that if you want the information you use physical abuse, false imprisonment, threats to family members, and killing. If you can't get the information you want, if you can't get that person to shut up or stop what they're doing, you assassinate them—and you assassinate them with one of your death squads."
He assured us that despite the name change-There are no substantive changes- besides the name!-
They still teach identical courses- they just changed the course names- but still use the same manuals.
A huge amount of human suffering could be alleviated and global problems solved if the United States would make a genuine commitment to human rights and the rule of law,
as opposed to one it only applies cynically and opportunistically to its enemies,
but never to itself or its allies.
