I just meant that politicians use propaganda to deceive the American people.
Well, yes, I agree. This has been true for a very long time. Many, if not most, Americans tend to be very gullible and easily taken in by propaganda, especially when it involves the outside world and US foreign policy. It's not as easy when it comes to domestic issues, since Americans live here and can see what's going on in their own country. When propagandists say "America's economy is doing well" and people see homeless on the streets, boarded-up buildings, laid-off workers, etc., then the people know the propagandists are lying.
It's all about economic interests; the Hillary's emails show the reason why Gaddafi had to be eliminated. And it has to do with the banking interests of the CFA Franc. It has nothing to do with fundamentalism or terrorism.
Gaddafi has always fought fundamentalism and terrorism.
He was hated by the fundamentalist countries because of his stance on radicalism; for instance he said about Nine Eleven: it's a horrifying act. He called on Muslim aid groups to join international assistance efforts to the US, "regardless of political considerations or differences between America and the peoples of the world."
In fact...no hijacker came from Libya. They all came or nearly from KSA. It's a fact.
That's what's paradoxical: because of economic interests, the American Deep State waged war against the Arabs who are against terrorism, while pandering those who have an ambiguous stance on it.
Well, that would explain why many in politics and media had some kind of obsession with Gaddafi. In contrast to Iran's government, which enabled the takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, burned our flag, chanted "death to America" - and they somehow get a free pass, while the US government obsessed over Gaddafi. It never made any sense.
If it's about economic interests, then US policy is still rather curious, since our government folded up and surrendered its economic and geopolitical interests in order to suck up to regimes like that of Saudi Arabia.
In fact, the whole thing is rather ironic and sad when you look at it. Ever since the end of WW2, US propagandists have been so heavily focused on the outside world, on America's national, strategic, and economic interests.
And yet, after all these decades of military interventionism, gunboat diplomacy, covert operations, foreign aid, uneven trade agreements, etc., our government and country as a whole has very little to show for all this effort and devotion to "protecting our interests."
Looking at the overall results and the conditions in the country at present, it seems that over the past 75+ years, our government has worked feverishly
against American interests. They have harmed America and impacted severely on Americans' well-being and standard of living. Based on that, one might well question whether our government was ever really sincere in its supposed devotion to our national interests.
