just a couple problems with this clown says in this video for dumbasses.....
- Doesn't know what constitutes a coup
- Lies about Mohamed Mosadegh.
- Tries to paint the US as an arbiter and defender of human rights.
- Misinforms about Vietnam in '63, trying to say the US didn't intend for Diep to be killed.
- Accepts the CIAs justification and continues red scare tactics.
- Ignores each Reign of Terror which murdered Trade Unionists, Protesters, Indigenous peoples and Academics because time limits.
- Ignores a US Congress report concerning the CIAs activities and covert action in Chile and claims "conflicting evidence".
- Revises history concerning Libya under Gaddafi's early regime despite it not being democratic. Libya ranked high on the Human Development Index prior to his disposal. Went from having high quality of life to public open-air slave markets after the coup.
- Revises a lot of African history.
- Glosses over Famine in Yemen caused by one of the worst allies of the US.
- Calls the dictators friendly.
- Ignores the original history of Panama as stolen land from Colombia and its' false revolution for the canal. Did not mention the CONTRAS. Rape of American nuns or de-capitation of entire families.
- Ignores that the US sides largely with right-wing groups out of preference. Only sided with Kurds due to them being effective.
- Ignores/forgets/doesn't know that the US helped Saddam Hussein

I posted this just to get your reaction...because how could you not. it's your favorite subject and you have a hate bone for this guy so it's an interesting combo.
Can't say how accurate it is but you have to understand it's a 30 min video that tries to cram a century's worth of coups, so naturally things will be left out.

"Feel free to address any of the criticisms I've posted above."
Maybe just start with sources.
Anything you say, can't be taken at face value because your motivation stems from a deep hate towards the west and your keen on rooting for anyone who opposes them.
