Wikileaks is both an awesome and a scary website to read. The site founded by Chinese dissidents living around the world is dedicated to “…developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis.”
And boy do they do so.
The latest document to come to light is a 219 page manual entitled: Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces (1994, 2004) which is a fancy way of saying “destroy the revolution in other countries and prop up their Government.”
Wikileaks does a good job of summarizing the manual. What’s interesting is the amount of sheer suggestions that all kinds of laws be broken. Everything from habeas corpus to warrentless searches, and even violating the Geneva Convention.
The manual itself reads like a cross between a Militia’s worse nightmare and a copy of the local news paper reporting on world events. The fact that such a manual exists, and is obviously being used at least in part is galling and is a big black mark for America.
Once again we just can’t keep our hands off another Nation’s government. When we can’t even run our own elections properly, what gives us the right to mess in another Countries business? Brief platitudes about toppling Dictators or propping up certain governments just because they support “US” doesn’t cut it.
People, this is why a good portion of the rest of the world hates America. We’re inconsistent in our support of “freedom and liberty for all.” We stick our noses in where it’s not wanted.
Then we invade a country under pretenses.
But then to have manuals like this? It’s a wonder the rest of the world doesn’t gang up on us and either embargo us, or just plain invade.
