Obama’s Expanding Covert Wars . . . in France, Belgium & Spain?

Stacy Summary:  We’re used to the US meddling in Latin America, ex-Soviet states, Africa and the Middle East, but this bit in Scahill’s latest Nation article caught my attention:  The Nation has learned from well-placed special operations sources that among the countries where elite special forces teams working for the Joint Special Operations Command have been deployed under the Obama administration are: Iran, Georgia, Ukraine, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru, Yemen, Pakistan (including in Balochistan) and the Philippines. These teams have also at times deployed in Turkey, Belgium, France and Spain.

  1. Delivering justice can be done in many ways, from carpet bombing to a bullet in the back of the head. Bronxy

    The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Psalm 11:5

  2. “And where will the US get this “justice” to dispense?”

    Morning, ronron!

    There must be some relationship between INTERPOL and these assassin units: why no objection to INTERPOL, Stacy?

    It’s the war of the future, the monetary authorities fighting competition for their criminal backers. It’s international in scope. Obama is representing the new form of totalitarian elite terror.

  5. Or maybe bring justice to him, where ever he is. Bronxy

    And where will the US get this “justice” to dispense? How just are our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Go Wikileaks!

  6. I’m not that surprised about the rape charge. Thats how spy’s blow steam generally, alcohol and womanizing, if you commit one crime why not an other. Hopefully the US will bring Julian Assange to justice for his crimes and deception. Or maybe bring justice to him, where ever he is.

  7. @Bronxy

    I just read the same thing in other newspapers, it’s gonna spread world wide. guilty or not, the damaged done (to him), a smear campaign and an attempt to discreadit him and his information. But it also works great as an misdirection for the public. sad, sad, sad.

    next time you’ll hear Julian Assagne mentioned be sure to notice the rape allegations gets mentioned over and over, the human reaction to this is; if you’re accused of something then it is probable that you’ve done something… and that shit sells right into the thousands of home’s in America and possible Europe.

    A new game has started.

  8. the underfundedmentalist

    good point mother earth,
    it’s about time for another surge,
    I just hope this one’s more surgical than the last

  9. I don’t get it. Never any mention of surgeons in these covert operations..No wonder people die..

    Are you wearing a microscope? And a religious regugitator?

    Here’s some evidence of the contrary : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCSiAwCEYy4#t=0m4s

  11. Don’t worry, progressive types! Just send all your money to Wikileaks.

    *POOF* … no more wars.

    Well, to be realistic — I fully expect every US house to have its toilet bugged by law or statue soon.

    – This will not be done to the US poor, as they persons who do not even exist.

    – The US Middle Class and US Upper Middle Class are the potential usurpers to the US Ruling Class, so they can expect total surveillance.

    – ‘If they don’t like the way you went to the bathroom, you’ll get a nasty note’ … a common saying one should expect in the future US … meanwhile there will be an infrastructural collapse so that some parts of the US resemble Pakistan (no water or electricity or usable roads) …

    As much as covert wars are a source of concern — as these matters certainly are for the nations with US covert forces in their EEZs …

    The moral is the US cannot afford to pay for them, and each day this lack of being able to pay increases.

    The UK may have originated “Gunboat Diplomacy” — but it was not a huge spender with respect to covert forces. By behaving in a reasonable manner and being self sacrificial (something the Romans never fully achieved with the Britons 1500 years ago) — covert war as part of Empire never needed to evolve.

    The laws of accounting ultimately stopped working in the UK’s favour, but it least it left behind some good things in its former colonies. The US and its empire, like its special forces — leaves behind nothing.

    US Special forces operations are at best a band-aid measure to make the collapse of empire less destructive, but it is doubtful the destructive forces can or could ever be abated as Americans are not self sacrificial.

  14. Notice also the politically correct attempt to spin good news as bad.

  15. Since CO2 is always on topic on a Stacy post:

    “Plant productivity is a measure of the rate of the photosynthesis process that green plants use to convert solar energy, carbon dioxide and water to sugar, oxygen and eventually plant tissue. Compared with a 6 percent increase in plant productivity during the 1980s and 1990s, the decline observed over the last decade is only 1 percent. The shift, however, could impact food security, biofuels and the global carbon cycle.” from http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100820101504.htm

    Notice that net plant productivity is up 5% over the last 30 years. In other words we can feed more people and animals. That is good news, not bad.

  16. license to kill. Or as a good friend of mine told me in tears after being a special unitsmilitair: I’m a bloody murderer. It is all I can do…

  17. USA needs to stay out of Europe – no bases, no covert operations inside the continent, nothing.

    Europe’s focus, on foreign affairs and economically, is turned to Asia anyways, so US is just an annoyance running on empty economy, held together as long as the Chinese feel like funding it.

    US has done very little good since the Marshall plan following WWII.

  18. Covert Wars?
    :lol:

    Does it even matter unless you were born less than 20 years ago, and have just come to the realization that the world isn’t what you think?
    in which case,

  20. This goes out all the left who were suckered by Obama 18 months ago. I wrote an article in my local paper (20,000 circ) about what a fraud he was (see john pilger see wayne madsen interview w/ AJ yesterday – tarpley was on the money respectively)

    I live in a small country, where everyone more or less knows each other, where we have no army as such, no WMD, no overpowering agendas; its overwhelming sometimes and I can’t believe or imagine how it is to watch your government sell you out day after day. (I know my gov. sells me out but in terms of scale, the amount of people, amount of lives shattered, its….well…numb with imagination.

    This ones for you Dailykos…

  21. …For your PMF production. :P

  22. I heard that the Enron documents were destroyed in building 7 of the World Trade Center, when it was brought down. If true, it was sure a lucky thing for a select few.

    If the US secret ops are already in France and Paraguay, then perhaps they could run body guard style commando stuff for you. They probably already know exactly where he is.

  23. It’s the new warfare – chasing a bunch of suicidal bearded guys riding camels who seek nukes. Get ready for the cave man days to return. (Hmmm, interesting though – Stacy in a loin cloth..hmmm).

    Fundemerrally USA is morphing in Nazi Germany or Stalin’s USSR. Seing enemies everywhere and everyone that is a not a USA sheep Wall Street Nazi neo-con slave is considered suspect.

  38. where you gonna find a snoot like that? ronron

    She’s one of a kind but ain’t we all?

  39. i shouldn’t have said anything. :-)

  40. hey beardo. don’t tell anybody else that max had a sausage in his pants again. stacy was pissed. :-)

  41. @Beardo. where you gonna find a snoot like that?

  42. @ronron,

    I share your sadness. “Everybody loves somebody sometimes …”

  43. haha. too fucking much. where’s SNOOT?

  44. @Beardo. wish snoot would report on the SDR,s. :-(

  45. @ronron
    Max and Stacy splitting up? I don’t believe it; Max is not that dumb.

  46. @Beardo. it’s sad to see max and stacy splitting up like that. were the cops there? :-)

  47. … as i live and let live. ronron

    He who despises his neighbor lacks sense, … Proverbs 11:12

  48. @Beardo. your cool with me, as i live and let live.

  49. @ronron,

    Here is an explanation for what that song was talking about:

    “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Matthew 18:20

  50. ah @Beardo you fuck. :-)

  51. Obama doesn’t get it. If he wants the people to love him these wars need to be overt. It’s treason in the US to oppose the senseless slaughter of foreigners, but they won’t love you if you don’t tell them their tax dollars are being given to the warfare welfarers. Make it all public and Palin will have to prove her patriotism by campaigning to have your face on Mt Rushmore!

  52. Those covert wars remind me of how the Spartans used to assassinate any Helots with any leadership ability.

    Hey bankers,

    You started with theft and have moved on to murder. Proud of yourselves?

  53. @Stacy. hope y’all ain’t pissy with me. night y’all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxa1jggv1RI

  54. i will pass this thread to beardo and his thumping. see y’all.

  55. @Snoot. do you mind?

  56. you’ll get a house for a nickle ninety eight
    max. good luck getting any rent. for fuck sakes.

  57. just wondering. who gives a fuck. deflation max. wake up. the debt will not be paid, food fuel and taxes are going up. housing and cars? fuck off. please.
