Reagan funded revolutions in Eastern Europe and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Obama's State Department is giving arms and money to Islamic revolutionaries in Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, and other countries. "We came, we saw, he died!"

That's just with drones, and I'd say it's a very conservative number. He also funded and armed "moderate opposition" in Syria, al quaeda associted groups (Jabhat al-Nusra and others) there, and helped topple several governments. This displaced millions and killed hundreds of thousands. Here's Hillary laughing about it: [this video]

I made a mistake, but this is the problem with online comments -- brevity leads to necessary oversimplification. Gadaffi was trying to oust the type of central bank they had been forced to have in Libya. I will explain. Admittedly this is pretty far out in the realm of Wrongthink. Just look at Investopedia or an econ text book, and what they say about the question: does the Fed print money. They say no[1]. This is utterly, undeniably false.

It's not at the same scale as before but the practice certainly hasn't ended. It's also important to ask what allowed it to flourish. > [LINK] > "...More than 8,000 American personnel in warships and aircraft were deployed in the area.

Moreover America's hand in promoting and contributing to slavery doesn't need traveling back hundreds of years Just look back 2 years ago: [LINK] Open air slave markets. People sold as animals or produce. What happened there? Well, apparently "We come, we saw, he died!" <followed by laughing>. [this video] . That's what happened. I would argue, after "exporting our democracy" there, the labor and blood of those slaves are on our hands as well.
