Who's In Control?
A Reminder - In Their Own Words.
"The US is leader of the free world, and under this administration is beginning
to act like it. If the Europeans don't like it, that's too bad. It's too late to
do anything about it now."
(US Vice President George Bush, Chicago, Aug 16 1982.)
US imperialism has been advancing throughout the world steadily since it became
industrialised more than a century ago. Like the British empire and other
empires before it, including pretenders to empires such as the German Nazis, it
is guided by immutable principles irrefutable and laws inherent and intrinsic in
its national and global socio-economic relationships.
Except for the primitive communism necessarily practiced by tribes or societies
for their own needs, and when it became possible to produce an economic surplus
over requirements, societies have always consisted of socio-economic classes,
where one class economically exploits and lives off the other - the one owning
the means of production of wealth, the other, owning no means of production
themselves and therefore entirely dependent on making or producing wealth for
the owners of the means of production for a tiny share of the product in order
to live. Each era had its particular set of classes with opposing socio-economic
relations - owner and slave, patrician and plebeian, feudal landowner and serf,
guildmaster and journeyman, and capitalist or bourgeoisie (French: capital
owning class) and proletarian (working class by hand or brain). In short:
exploiter and exploited.
Capitalism's inherent unsustainability is that it cannot remain confined in one
country if it is not to stagnate and collapse. It must continually expand into
ever increasing sources of cheap raw materials, cheap labour, and markets for
the goods and profit as excess capital it produces.
Since capitalism is therefore inherently ultimately unsustainable, it can only
survive by imperialism and war.
The history of this is evident and exemplified here - in their own words:
"Got Mit Uns."
(God is with us. Inscribed on Nazi Wehrmacht belts.)
"God... has marked the American people as His chosen nation to finally lead in
the regeneration of the world."
(US Senator Albert Beveridge, 1900.)
"To see freedom sent around the world, this is our mission... It was God's
charge to us."
(US Senator Barry Goldwater.)
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this,
the last best hope for man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last
step into a thousand years of darkness."
(Ronald Reagan, 1964.)
"I have long believed that there is a divine plan which has entrusted this land
to a people with a special destiny."
(US President Ronald Reagan, 1981.)
"I have read the Book of Revelations and yes, I believe the world is going to
end."
(Caspar Weinberger.)
"You know, I turn back to your ancient prophets in the Old Testament and the
signs foretelling Armageddon, and I find myself wondering if - if we're the
generation that's going to see that one come about."
(US President Ronald Reagan, Oct 18 1983.)
"If it takes a bloodbath... let's get it over with."
(Ronald Reagan, Governor of California.)
"What are they going to say about us? What are those people 100 years from now
going to think? They will know whether we used those weapons... Well; what they
will say about us a hundred years from now depends on how we keep our rendezvous
with destiny. Will we do the things that we know must be done and know that one
day down in history, a hundred years or perhaps before someone will say 'thank
God for those people back in the 1980s for preserving our freedom, for saving
for us this blessed planet called Earth'."
(Ronald Reagan, in his 1984 television election debate.)
"Retribution will be ours unless we put the world in order."
(US President Ronald Reagan.)
"In an ideal world we'd have God for President. Nothing is less appropriate for
this nation. .so He will speak to His supporters in the polling booths and
advise them of His Chosen Man. .candidate Reagan. believes what God tells us.
He's for Adam and Eve and he's against what they call the Theory of Evolution.
he's for America being number one again, having the strongest military since
Creation. Capitalism is enshrined in the Book of Proverbs. Material wealth is
God's way of blessing people who put Him first."
(US Moral Majority Born Again Christian leader Reverend Jerry Falwell.)
It might be said that these are the words of crackpots and bigots. Very well,
let's see what respected upstanding "responsible" leaders have to say:
"Fate has written our policy for us; the trade of the world must and can be
ours. And we shall get it, as our Mother England has told us how... We will
cover the ocean with our merchant marine. We will build a navy to the measure of
our greatness... Our institutes will follow our trade. American law, American
order, American civilisation, and the American flag."
(US Senator Albert Beveridge, 1898.)
"...to set forth the political, military, territorial and economic requirements
of the United States in its potential leadership of the non-German world area,
including the United Kingdom itself as well as the Western hemisphere and the
Far East. The first and foremost requirement of the United States in a world in
which it proposes to hold unquestionable power. Co-ordination and co-operation
of the United States with other countries to secure the limitation of any
exercise of sovereignty by foreign nations that constitutes a threat to the
minimum world area essential for the security and economic prosperity of the
United States."
(Economic and Financial Group of the US Council of Foreign Relations. 1940.)
"The measure of our victory will be the measure of our domination after
victory."
(US Council of Foreign Relations Director Isaiah Bowman, Dec 15 1941.)
". England. will be so impoverished economically and crippled in prestige that
it is improbable that she will be able to resume or maintain the dominant
position in world affairs that she has occupied for so long. At best, England
will become a junior partner in a new Anglo-Saxon imperialism in which the
economic resources and the military and naval strength of the US will be the
centre of gravity. The sceptre passes to the US."
(Annual Convention of the Investment Bankers' Association of America, Dec 10
1940.)
"...the British Empire as it existed in the past will never re-appear and that
the United States may have to take its place. ...must cultivate a mental view
toward world settlement after this war which will enable us to impose our own
terms, amounting to perhaps a Pax-Americana."
(US Advisory Committee on Postwar Foreign Policy, May 6 1942.)
"My dear Americans, we may be short of dollars, but we are not short of will...
We won't let you down. . Standards of life may go back. We may have to say to
our miners and to our steel workers: "We can't give you all we hoped for. We
can't give you the houses we want you to live in. We can't give you the
amenities we desire to give you." But we won't fail."
(British Labour Foreign Secretary Bevin to the American Legion, Savoy Hotel,
London, Sept 10 1947.)
"If the threatened war comes, one of the leading America generals said not long
ago that while London and most of Britain would be quickly destroyed, Britain
would remain useful as an aircraft carrier for American bombers; they would
still be able to use the excellent aerodromes built by Americans in East
Anglia."
(New Statesman and Nation March 27 1948 )
"Today Americans know that they are the dominant Power in the world; they take
pride in the position, they accept the responsibility of it, and they expect the
rest of us to respect their leadership."
(Tory Lord Woolton, Sunday Times, July 16 1950.)
"Mr. Bevin went to New York, determined to prevent the precipitate rearmament of
Germany... He failed... Faced with an American ultimatum... he toed the line."
(New Statesman and Nation, Dec 2 1950.)
"We British must recognise that American policy must prevail, if there is an
honest difference of opinion between us as to what to do next in the world
struggle. He who pays the piper calls the tune."
(Labour MP Commander King-Hall, National Newsletter, June 28 1951.)
"Consultation would be a matter of a telephone call as United States planes with
atom bombs took off for targets."
(United States News and World Report, Dec 21 1951.)
"The United States will in fact have no other choice but to establish a world
order it is able to live with, a world where there is relatively free access to
the world's resources."
(US Wall Street Journal, Nov 26 1979.)
"We must be prepared for waging a conventional war that may extend to many parts
of the globe. Many of the resources that we need for energy and many essential
strategic minerals are found thousands of miles from our shores... If we are to
safeguard our access, and the access of the free world, to these resources, we
must increase our military and naval strength."
(US Defence Secretary Caspar Weinberger, April 28 1981.)
"As the largest producer, the largest source of capital, and the biggest
contributor to the global mechanism, we must set the pace and assume the
responsibility of the majority stockholder in this corporation known as the
world... Nor is this for a given term of office. This is a permanent
obligation."
(Leo D. Welch, Secretary-Treasurer of US Standard Oil Company, 1946.)
"It will become increasingly difficult in the near future to protect US overseas
interests with conventional weapons... I have in mind situations far from our
shores,... where we would have difficulty, from a logistics point of view, at
least, in reaching the areas in which we have considerable US interests. Such
situations could well involve a non nuclear power... We just would not have the
capability, quantitatively and qualitatively, to take care of the situation with
conventional force...
.the need for the United States to look more and more overseas for the resources
to provide economic strength... We will be looking increasingly towards Africa
and the Middle East, as well as South America, for the materials required by our
industrial economy... We will require free access and intercourse with many far
distant nations of the world in order to remain a leading export - import
nation.
We may have confrontations with non-nuclear states such as Cuba. We may have
confrontations with nuclear or non-nuclear nations whose geographical location
is such that we have no adequate means of protecting our interests with
conventional weapons... The use of nuclear weapons with varying capabilities
might be the only effective method of accomplishing our objectives, protecting
our interests, and minimising the overall death and destruction that might
accrue."
(Vice Admiral Gerald E. Miller, US Navy, House of Representatives, Washington
1976.)
"Commercial and industrial predominance forces a nation to seek markets, and
where possible to control them to its own advantage by prepondering force... An
inevitable link in a chain of logical sequences: industry, markets, control,
navy bases."
(US naval historian Alfred Mahan.)
"We must maintain armed forces all over the world. The United States may have to
occupy more countries before the cold war is ended."
(US Vice President Barkley, New Orleans, May 22 1950.)
"The United States, as an island nation heavily dependent on overseas raw
materials, must continue its forward deployment of forces in Asia and the
Pacific region. There is no cheaper way to American security."
(US Defence Secretary Frank Carlucci.)
"To use our strategic air power successfully we must have bases so located
around the world that we can reach any target we may be called upon to hit."
(US Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee.)
"The West could, with relative impunity launch atomic attacks on the Soviet
Union from a perimeter of 360 degrees, manned by more than 250 allied bases."
(General Norstad, US Supreme Commander of NATO, in The Times June 14 1957,)
"Both our interests and our ideals propel us westward across the Pacific."
(US President Nixon.)
"Now the Pacific has become an Anglo-Saxon lake, and our line of defence runs
through the chain of islands fringing the coast of Asia."
(US General MacArthur, Daily Mail March 2 1949.)
"Geographically, our territory extends to the Aleutians, Hawaii and Guam in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean... We are a global power with global tasks. We have
to be prepared to fulfil the tasks facing us in Asia in the same ways as we are
prepared to fulfil them elsewhere."
(Former US Defence Secretary Brown.)
"US global power projection rests upon a co-operative Caribbean and a supportive
South America. The exclusion of Old World maritime powers from Cuba, the
Caribbean and Latin America has helped the United States generate sufficient
surplus power for balancing activities on European, Asian and African
continents...
Any United States power base, be it in Latin America, Western Europe or the
Western Pacific, cannot be allowed to crumble if the United States is to retain
adequate extra energy to be able to play a balancing role elsewhere in the
world. For a balancing state like the United States, there is no possibility of
flexible global action if its power is immobilised or checked in any one area."
(From the Santa Fe Document, Inter-American Security Inc. Washington, 1980.)
"We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order..."
(Washington Post, May 1991.)
"In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will
recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great
idea after all."
(US Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbot, Time, July 20, l992.)
"We are at present working discreetly with all our might to wrest this
mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation
states of the world."
(Professor Arnold Toynbee, Institute for the Study of International Affairs,
Copenhagen, June l931.)
"We shall have world government whether or not you like it, by conquest or
consent."
(Council on Foreign Relations member James Warburg, Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, February 17, l950.)
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less
than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to
dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a
whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central
banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in
frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank
for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and
controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private
corporations. .capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic
control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the
indirect injury of all other economic groups."
(US Professor Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University, 1966.)
"The New World Order will have to be built... in the end run around national
sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece."
(US Council on Foreign Relations, April l974.)
"Somebody has to take governments' place, and business seems to me to be a
logical entity to do it."
(David Rockefeller, Newsweek International, Feb 1 1999.)
". our policy must be both "global", ie: embrace every part of the world, and
also "total", ie: include political, psychological, economic, military and
special measures integrated into one whole.
In Europe we started with economic aid. It is quite possible that without the
Marshall Plan we would have found it more difficult to form NATO. .a
co-ordinated foreign policy using every kind of pressure, resulted in the
creation of what we hoped was a solid military union.
In Asia. the importance of preliminary economic preparations for the alliances
we wished to make. .military measures will often be found unobjectionable if the
way to them is paved with economic aid...
By the use of economic aid we succeeded in getting access to Iranian oil and we
are now well established in the economy of that country. The strengthening of
our economic position in Iran has enabled us to acquire control over her foreign
policy and in particular to make her join the Baghdad Pact. At the present time
the Shah would not dare even to make any changes in his cabinet without
consulting our Ambassador...
For us to have in Asia, Africa and other under-developed areas a political and
military influence as great or greater than we obtained through the Marshall
Plan in Europe. It is necessary for us to act carefully and patiently, and in
the early stages confine ourselves to securing very modest political concessions
in exchange for our economic aid (in some exceptional cases even without any
concessions in return). The way will then be open to us, but at a later stage,
to step up both our political price and our military demands...
.we should pick out the countries with anti-communist governments friendly to
us, which are already bound to the US through stable long-term military
agreements. In this case governmental subsidies and credits may take the form
mainly of military appropriations. The hooked fish needs no bait... At the same
time economic support for those strata of the local business community which are
ready to co-operate with the US should be increased and the necessary conditions
would be created for businessmen of this type to be put in key economic
positions and accordingly for their political influence to be increased...
Such countries may be given direct economic aid as well but we must give them
only as much as is necessary in order to keep suitable governments concerned in
power and to check any hostile opposition elements."
.includes those countries which pursue or tend towards a neutralist policy. In
this case the main emphasis in economic assistance as regards government
subsidies and credits should be on creating conditions in which eventually the
economic relations established by us would work for and make it natural for
these countries to join military pacts and alliances inspired by us. The essence
of this policy should be that the development of our economic relations with
these countries would ultimately allow us to take over key positions in the
native economy... By this means we can hope to divert the foreign policy of
these countries in a more desirable direction.
.support should be given in particular cases and within due limit, to native
businessmen who are struggling against their colonial status. if we do not
support them we lose all hope of exercising a restraining influence on them
until it is too late. If this happens the desire for independence may result in
a nationalism so strong as to escape not only from the control of the old
colonial powers but also from our own control.
Extensive economic aid to all three groups of countries should always be
presented as an expression of a sincere and disinterested desire on the part of
the US to help and co-operate with them."
(Millionaire Nelson Rockefeller, US Council on Foreign Relations, to President
Eisenhower, January 1956.)
"We will never be able to put into effect our joint plans in this vital area
unless quite exceptional efforts are made to check European tendencies towards
neutralism, pacifism and unilateralism. If argument, persuasion and compacting
the media fail, we are left with no alternative to jolt the faint-hearted in
Europe through the creation of situations, country by country, as deemed
necessary, to convince them where their interests lie. This would call for
appropriate action of a sensitive nature which we have frequently discussed..."
(US NATO Supreme Commander Alexander Haig, in a letter to Secretary General of
NATO - ex Nazi Joseph Lunz, June 1979.)
"Intervention is justified wherever it becomes necessary to guarantee the United
States' capital and markets."
(US President Taft, 1912.)
"We do control the destinies of Central America... Until now Central America has
always understood that governments which we recognise and support stay in power,
while those we do not recognise and support fail."
(US Under Secretary of State Robert Olds, 1927.)
"The United States could never permit another Nicaragua, even if preventing it
meant employing the most reprehensible means."
(Zbigniew Brzezinski, June 1980.)
"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the
irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the
Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."
(Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, about Chile prior to the CIA overthrow of
the democratically elected government of socialist President Salvadore Allende
in 1973. )
"I am against any interference in the internal affairs of the Latin American
countries. But under certain conditions I consider exceptions possible."
(Henry Kissinger.)
"I spent thirty-three years and four months in active service as a member of our
country's most agile military force - the Marine corps... And during that time I
spent most of my time being a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall
Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism... Thus I
helped make Mexico, and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in
1914. I helped to make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the national city bank
boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central
American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is
long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown
Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the
American sugar interests in 1916. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that
Standard Oil went its way unmolested. I helped make Honduras right for American
fruit companies in 1903."
(Testimony of US Marine Corps General Smedley Butler, McCormack Dickstein
Committee. 1935.)
QUESTION:
"...I saw the helicopters... Americans moving towards our village... huge,
towering men... we sat there huddled together... American appeared at the
entrance... fired point blank at grandmother Toan. She sank slowly to the
floor... grenade... I crawled out... bodies of my sister, little brother, uncle
Duc, cousin Thu and her baby... Americans returned... mutilated bodies with
bayonets... baby in convulsions... I hid... heard uncle Huong's voice... I asked
him "is anyone else alive?" "No little one, everyone's killed." Please, tell me
why were they all killed?"
(Twelve year old Vo Thi Lien, survivor of the US massacre of the inhabitants of
the village of Son My, Vietnam (My Lai on US military maps) March 16 1969.)
ANSWER:
"Let us suppose we lose Indochina. The tin and tungsten that we so greatly value
from that area would cease coming. We are voting for the cheapest way that we
can to prevent the occurence of something that would be of a most terrible
significance to the United States of America, our security, our power and
ability to get certain things we need from the riches of the Indochinese
territory and from Southeast Asia."
(US President Eisenhower, justifying US aid to France's war against Vietnam, Aug
4 1953; which later included the offer of the use of nuclear weapons during the
seige of Dien Bien Phu.)
"Geographically, Vietnam stands at the hub of a vast area of the world -
Southeast Asia - an area with a vast population of 249 million persons... He who
holds or has influence in Vietnam can affect the future of the Philippines and
Formosa [now Taiwan B.M.] to the East, Thailand and Burma with their huge rice
surpluses to the West, and Malaysia and Indonesia with their rubber, ore and tin
to the South... Vietnam thus does not exist in a geographical vacuum - from it
large store-houses of wealth and population can be influenced and undermined."
(Former US Ambassador to South Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge, Cambridge,
Massachussets, in the Boston Sunday Globe, Feb 28 1965.)
"It is rich in many raw materials such as tin, oil, rubber and iron ore... This
area has great strategic value... It has major naval and air bases."
(US Secretary of State Dulles, March 29 1954.)
"One of the world's richest areas is open to the winner of Indo-China. That's
behind the growing US concern... tin, rubber, rice, key strategic raw materials
are what the war is really about. The US sees it as a place to hold - at any
cost."
(US News and World Report, April 4 1954.)
". strategic resources of Southeast Asia and their significance for the global
system that the US was then constructing, incorporating Western Europe and
Japan. It was feared that successful independent development under a radical
nationalist leadership in Vietnam might 'cause the rot to spread', gradually
eroding US dominance in the region and ultimately causing Japan, the largest
domino, to join in a closed system from which the US would be excluded. The idea
that US global planners had national imperialist motives is intolerable to the
doctrinal system, so this topic must be avoided in any history directed to a
popular audience."
(Noam Chomsky, "The Vietnam War In The Age Of Orwell.")
"Agreement On Ending the War and Restoring Peace In Vietnam. January 27 1973.
(The Paris Agreement.)
Article 21.- The United States anticipates that this Agreement will usher in an
era of reconciliation with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as with all the
peoples of Indochina. In persuance of its traditional policy, the United States
will contribute to healing the wounds of war and to postwar reconstruction of
the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and throughout Indochina.
"1. The Government of the USA agrees to contribute to post-war reconstruction in
Vietnam without any political conditions.
2. The US contribution will fall in the range of 3-25 billion dollars of grant
aid over 5 years."
Signed: For the Government of the United States.
William P. Rodgers.
Secretary of State."
(Agreement on ending the Vietnam war, 1973.)
Not one dollar has been paid.
"Well folks, that just about wraps up Vietnam. So let's all have a party and get
outta here."
(Admiral of the US command fleet, USS Blue Ridge, departing Vietnam for the last
time, May 1 1975.)
Not about oil? They must be joking!
"Our aim is not simply to appropriate oil in one way or another (say in easily
accessible Nigeria or Venezuela) but to crush OPEC. Therefore we have to use
direct force in order to get hold of large and concentrated oil deposits which
can be opened up rapidly so as to put an end to the artificial oil shortage and
thus to lower the price... Since this is the ultimate and there is only one
target possible: Saudi Arabia... Fortunately, these are not only rich oilfields
but they are also concentrated in a very small area, a fraction of the Saudi
Arabian territory... While Vietnam was full of trees and brave people and our
national interest was almost invisible, what we have here is no trees, very few
people and a clear objective."
(Advisor to the US Defence Department Professor Miles Ignotas, March 1975.)
"The economic health and well-being of the United States, Western Europe, Japan
depend upon continued access to the oil from the Persian area."
(President Carter, Department of State Bulletin, April 1978.)
"Western industrialised societies are largely dependent on the oil resources of
the Middle East region and a threat to access to that oil would constitute a
grave threat to the vital national interests. This must be dealt with; and that
does not exclude the use of force if necessary."
(US Secretary of State Alexander Haig, March 11 1981.)
"In the future, we are more likely to be involved in Iraq-type things,
Panama-type things, Grenada-type things. Our position should be the protection
of the oilfields. Now whether Kuwait gets put back, that's subsidiary stuff."
(Chairman of US Armed Services Committee Les Aspin, 1990.)
"They know we own their country [Iraq]. We own their airspace. We dictate the
way they live and talk. And that's what's great about America right now. It's a
good thing, especially when there's a lot of oil out there we need."
(US Brigadier General William Looney, Washington Post, August 30 1999.)
"US aid is to "improve U.S.-Kazakh military cooperation while establishing a
U.S.-interoperable base along the oil-rich Caspian."
(U.S. State Department Report, 2002.)
"In oil's name, the United States is immersed in a new kind of colonialism, for
the resources that lie under foreign feet. They couldn't care less about the
people. Therein lies an even greater tragedy."
(U.S. Dept. of State, Congressional Budget Justifications: Foreign Operations,
Fiscal Year 2003.)
And finally, some words of wisdom:
"The foreign policy that monopolistic capital imposes is a ruinous one for the
people of the United States. The United States had some thirty billion dollars
in gold in its reserves at the end of the Second World War; in twenty years it
had used up more than half of these reserves. What has it been used for? With
what benefit to the people of the United States? Does the United States perhaps
have more friends now than before?
. But what kind of liberty is it that they are defending, that nobody is
grateful to them, that nobody appreciates this alleged defence of their
liberties? .What country has prospered and has achieved peace and political
stability under that protection from the United States? What solutions has it
found for the great problems of the world? The United States has spent fabulous
resources pursuing that policy; it will be able to spend less and less, because
its gold reserves are being exhausted.
. the United States has been carrying out a repressive and reactionary policy in
the international field, without having solved the problems of a single
underdeveloped country..."
