Those that have served the American Empire in its futile military escapades are usually in tune with this sentiment. Of course, I don\u2019t trust the government. I\u00a0was\u00a0the government. As the popular insurance slogan goes, \u201cI know a thing or two because I\u2019ve seen a thing or two.\u201d It\u2019s a common quote that veterans will rattle off when they\u2019re asked about their faith in the government. We all know the victors write the narrative and usually the highlighted or \u201cjustifiable\u201d reason for any endeavor that took place is less than truthful. Usually, the righteousness of any imperial campaign is only a sliver of the reason, or completely made up, as to why the Empire\u2019s involvement was even necessary. Most of the deployments to the Balkans (former Yugoslavia) had more to do with failed CIA operations than any sort of humanitarian reason. The article by a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/identitydixie.com\/2021\/09\/12\/kentucky-and-kosovo\/\">Kentuckian in Kosovo<\/a>\u00a0is a good example of what happens when the Empire interferes in the affairs of others.<\/em><\/h2>\n<h2><em>What used to be considered a \u201ctin foil hat\u201d mindset has become more and more a reality. I was recently reminded of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Operation_Northwoods\">Operation Northwoods<\/a> that was released to the public in 1997, where the CIA suggested creating terrorist attacks inside the United States and blaming them on Cuba. The purpose was to galvanize the country \u2013 instead of the Feds trying to sell a war with Cuba to the American people, the people would demand it.&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56370\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/08\/history78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"563\" height=\"563\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-58490\" src=\"https:\/\/hcsblogdotorg.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/10\/deo-vindice99.jpg?w=620\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operation Northwoods &nbsp; &#8220;You can understand history, or you can trust the government \u2013 but you can\u2019t do both.
