  2. Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.

  4. Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.

Intelligence agencies are running al-Qaeda camps in North Africa — UN consultant

New evidence points to a Western cover-up of Algerian state sponsorship of Islamist jihadists, to protect oil and gas interests

An unpublished report by a government advisor and UN consultant, obtained exclusively by INSURGE intelligence, accuses Western and Algerian security services of complicity in al-Qaeda terrorist activity across North Africa.

The Revolutionary Distemper in Syria That Wasn’t

Documents prepared by US Congress researchers in 2005 revealed that the US government was actively weighing regime change in Syria long before the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, challenging the view that US support for the Syrian rebels was based on allegiance to a “democratic uprising” and showing that it was simply an extension of a long-standing policy of seeking to topple the government in Damascus.

Maxwell, David. “PARTNERSHIP, RESPECT GUIDE U.S. MILITARY ROLE IN PHILIPPINES,” World Politics Review, Feature Report on Economy of Force: Training U.S. Partner Militaries, February 5, 2013, pp. 16-19.

Fourth, respect for host-nation sovereignty and effective interagency collaboration. And fifth, support from conventional forces in key areas such as intelligence, communications, logistics, engineering, medical, aviation and additional personnel for individual staffs.
