The Aquarian Agrarian: CIA

Venezuelan UN official knows oil blockades are realistic possibilities
“Modern-day economic sanctions and blockades are comparable with medieval sieges of towns.

U.S. “financial blockades” are really just sanctions, but the U.S. and Citibank are blockading Venezuela's insulin purchases, Colombia is blockading Venezuela's purchases of malaria medicine, international banks are suspending Venezuelan funds for buying food, and Venezuelan athletes' travel payments are being blocked

The literal weaponization of humanitarian aid to Venezuela

“Venezuelan authorities announced that 19 rifles, 118 ammo magazines, 90 radios and six iPhones had been smuggled into the country via a U.S. plane that had originated in Miami. The authorities blamed the United States government for the illicit cargo, accusing it of seeking to arm U.S.-funded opposition groups in the country in order to topple the current Maduro-led government. “

Reaction to the Death of George H.W. Bush

George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States, passed away on November 30th, 2018. I wrote the following as a response to his death, and as a reaction to the media's fond remembrance of him (too fond, if you ask me):

I was pleased to discover recently that in the 1980 Republican presidential debate, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush both expressed pro-immigration sentiments. But while it's true that George H.W. Bush was more pro-immigration than Donald Trump is - and more pro-immigration than most Republicans today - that fact alone doesn't make him a good person.

Bush led the C.I.A. before becoming president, for a year in 1976-1977. He was president during the Noriega fiasco in Panama (in which both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. funded Noriega), and during the Gulf War (the 1991 war in the Persian Gulf, to defend Kuwait from Saddam Hussein).

Bush started sanctions of Iraq that eventually resulted in the starvation deaths of half a million people (with the assistance of Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright, who continued them). Some politicians today, namely Rand Paul, say that Iraq was better off under Saddam Hussein than it was under and after American occupation. I believe that is an accurate assessment.

Not only did Bush get America involved in foreign conflicts unnecessarily, he may have covertly killed several beloved public figures. Bush may have been in Dallas on the day JFK was killed. A George Bush worked at the CIA at that time, but Bush Sr. claims that it wasn't him. Some believe Bush had a very direct role in planning and executing Kennedy's death.

In addition to Kennedy's death, Bush was probably involved in the Reagan assassination attempt. Bush arguably had the most to gain from an assassination of Reagan. Not only that, but the Bushes were friends with Reagan's shooter's brother and father. The father was John Hinckley, Sr., head of Vanderbilt Steel.

Additionally, Bush's C.I.A. might have even hired John Lennon's shooter (Mark David Chapman, a former Marine stationed in Arkansas and Indochina) and paid the doorman at the Dakota building that night (a Cuban dissident named Jose Perdomo).

Perhaps most worrisome of all, Bush was a member of a Skull and Bones lodge, the Yale secret society that has roots in the 17th century opium and slave trades. He reputedly received a nickname from Skull and Bones for being its most sexually experienced member.

And who could forget, Bush Sr's father Prescott Bush managed the American accounts of Fritz Thyssen, the steel and rubber magnate whose slave labor camps eventually became death camps.

Prescott Bush fed, clothed, and sheltered his whole family with the money that the U.S. government let him keep after Brown Brothers Harriman was convicted of violating the Trading with the Enemy Act by trading with Nazi affiliated companies.

The whole Bush family are Nazi war profiteers, including George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, and the rest of them. The family might not have survived if it weren't for the U.S. government allowing them to keep their Nazi war profits.

George H.W. Bush spent his last moments telling his son George W. Bush that he loved him. Anyone who loves George W. Bush - who continued his father's war, which led to the deaths of millions more, and the birth of mutated babies due to depleted uranium use in Fallujah - is not worth admiring.

Not only am I glad that Bush is dead, he is one of a small group of people whose eventual deaths I can honestly say I've been cheerfully anticipating for several years. No amount of charity, friendship with Democrats, or love of his own family or love of people from Mexico, could convince me that he is worthy of admiration or even fond remembrances.

Good riddance.

Post-Script:

For an explanation of my claims about Bush's possible involvement in the deaths of John F. Kennedy and John Lennon, and the shooting of Ronald Reagan, please read my March 2012 article "Bush Family, World Vision Behind JFK, Lennon, Reagan Shootings" at the following address:

http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2012/03/bush-family-world-vision-behind-jfk.html

To read about Prescott Bush's link to Nazi war profiteers, read the following article from the Guardian:

Second Post-Script:

I would have also wished to mention Bush's involvement in the C.I.A.'s funneling of drugs into inner cities, his role in covering-up and ignoring the H.I.V./A.I.D.S. crisis, the "Highway of Death" during the Persian Gulf War, and Bush's possible involvement in the trafficking of prostitutes and the Franklin cover-up.
It would have been difficult to name all of Bush's major crimes against humanity on the first try. I regret neglecting to mention them, and I encourage my readers to do their own research about those topics.

Notes on Duplicity in U.S. Foreign Policy

Written on December 21st, 2011

The U.S. supported the Mujahideen (part of which later became the Taliban) in its struggle against the Soviets, and later invaded Afghanistan to fight and oust the Taliban.

The C.I.A. supported the Haqqani Network in Western Pakistan, and is now urging Pakistan to fight the network.

The U.S. remained friends with Israel while it encouraged Hamas as a way to avoid negotiation over Palestine, and also while Israel mediated our weapons sales to Iran, and Israel now appears to be gearing up for strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Bill Clinton flew Hezbollah operatives to Bosnia to support the U.S. and its allies, and now considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization.

The C.I.A. supported Saddam Hussein against the Iranians, and armed Iran against Iraq during a war that lasted throughout nearly the entire 1980s decade.

Notes on Osama bin Laden's Reported Death

Written on May 4th, 2011

Edited in April 2014

The Raid

White House Counter-Terrorism Adviser John Brennan said bin Laden was “engaged in a firefight” during the raid, and suggested that bin Laden was “hiding behind women who were put in front of him as a shield”. Brennan may not have intended to suggest either that bin Laden was armed and shooting during the raid, nor that he literally used his wife as a human shield during the raid.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney amended Brennan’s statements, saying that bin Laden was unarmed during the raid, and that “bin Laden’s wife… rushed the [S.E.A.L.] and was shot in the leg but not killed”.

It has been widely reported that bin Laden did not show willingness to be arrested. CIA Director Leon Panetta says the S.E.A.L.s were supposed to capture bin Laden if he showed willingness to be captured. John Brennan agreed on Monday, saying that they killed bin Laden because he didn’t show willingness to be captured alive.

Obviously, bin Laden’s natural response to someone trying to capture him alive and / or kill him would have been to have his men fire back, so in any situation except a completely willing and peaceful surrender in which bin Laden would have commanded all his men to fall back would have lead to the arrest of all of them.

But this article says that bin Laden's daughter claims that he was captured alive, and then killed:

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/42892575/ns/world_news-death_of_bin_laden/

Some believe that the orders were to kill bin Laden on sight. However, the Chicago Tribune reported that the only way the SEALs wouldn't have killed bin Laden is if he were naked, because him being naked would have been the only way the SEALs could have been sure that he did not have any explosive devices hidden under his clothing.

The "Burial"

People are claiming that bin Laden's corpse was cleansed, wrapped in a shroud, and buried within 24 hours of his death, in accordance with the funerary rites of Islam. They also say they buried him at sea so that his followers wouldn't turn his grave into a shrine. But Muslim funerary rites dictate that a person is to be buried in the ground in an unmarked grave with his head pointing towards Mecca, so both of the ideas in the preceding sentence are preposterous.

The Salafis would never turn a person's grave into a shrine, and could never turn one into a shrine, because it would be unmarked. And that a person's corpse could be weighted and sunk to the bottom of the sea would obviously not ensure that his head would point towards Mecca.

The Intelligence

Rick Santorum, Tim Pawlenty, and Sean Hannity claimed that "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as waterboarding led us to bin Laden's courier, leading to bin Laden's assassination. But if Donald Rumsfeld is correct, such claims are completely false. Rumsfeld says that only three individuals (including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) were waterboarded, and that waterboarding never took place at Guantanamo Bay). There are no solid facts anywhere that suggest that "enhanced interrogation techniques" - waterboarding included - led to bin Laden's assassination.

National Defense Authorization Act for 2012

Written in December 2011

Originally published 12-4-2011

According to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2012, as long as the Secretary of Defense (currently former C.I.A. Director Leon Panetta) submits to the Congress a written certification that such a detention would be in the national security interest of the United States, the President may authorize the Armed Forces to detain U.S. citizens - without a warrant signed by a judge, without trial, and indefinitely - pursuant to the Authorization of the Use of Military Force (9/18/01), which has been used to help justify the detention of terror suspects at Guantanamo.

Such a person must be suspected of having - at least - directly supported hostilities against the U.S. and / or it coalition partners.

While President Obama has reportedly threatened to veto the bill - which he has by December 12th to do - internet randos have speculated that, because this bill authorizes about $700 billion worth of military spending, the only reason Obama would express disapproval of it would take place in the form of his authorship of a presidential signing statement which would express his opinion that he already had the authority to single-handedly make the decisions which would be left up to the Secretary of Defense.

If signed by the president, the portion of the bill which I have mentioned above would take effect between February 5th and 10th, 2012.
