Bernie Sanders Damn Right About New World Order Regime Change

by Jonas E. Alexis

I’m not in a position to support or disapprove Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, but he has recently said something that’s one hundred percent correct. He declared:

“Occasionally it might be a good idea to be honest about American foreign policy, and that includes the fact that America has overthrown governments all over the world in Chile and Guatemala in Iran.”

This is a brute historical fact. And if you doubt this, then listen to a leading Neocon theoretician by the name of Micheal Ledeen:

“Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our own society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity, which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace.”

If you still don’t believe Ledeen, then pick up a copy of Stephen Kinzer’s Overthrow: America’s Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq and All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East TerrorAll the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror.

If that again is still not sufficient, then here are a small fraction of scholarly studies that have been written over the years:

We all know by now that the United States destroyed Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria for Israel. It is also a historical fact that the warmongers and political whores sent a six-trillion dollar bill to the average American. It is undeniably true that the United States overthrew a democratically elected president in Iran in 1953…
