Anti-Empire Reports
speeches and essays by Blum | order Killing Hope | other books by Blum
If you flip over the rock of American foreign policy of the past century, this is what crawls out…
invasions … bombings … overthrowing
governments …
occupations … suppressing movements
for social change …
assassinating
political leaders … perverting
elections …
manipulating labor unions …
manufacturing "news" …
economic and political sanctions ...
death squads …
torture … biological warfare … depleted uranium …
drug trafficking …
mercenaries …
It's not a pretty picture.
It is enough to give imperialism a bad name.
