[Our] people are not a warlike nation.  It is a soldierly one, which means it does not want war but does not fear it.  It loves peace, but also its honor and freedom.

——Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

       We are not a warlike people.  Quite the opposite.  We always seek to live in peace.  We resort to force infrequently and with great reluctance–and only after we have determined that it is absolutely necessary.

——Ronald W. Reagan, July 17, 1980.

       FALSE FLAG OPERATION (1989): United states Army General Maxwell R. Thurman (private mercenary), commander of the U.s. Southern Command, under orders from Commander-in-Chief George Herbert Walker Bush, invades Panama with a force 26,000 strong.  His mission is to arrest military dictator Manuel Noriega (a former Central Intelligence Agency asset) for smuggling cocaine into the United States. Bush ignores the precedent of three and a half centuries of international law against invading another nation solely for the purpose of “regime change,” and instead exercises the DeConcini Amendment in the Panama Canal Treaty, allowing the U.s. to interfere in Panama’s internal affairs.

       NOTES:

• The U.s. Armed Forces dug mass graves around the Panamanian Defense Force headquarters, and buried many of the civilians that they killed before they could be counted and identified.
• Between 3,000 to 4,000 Panamanian nationals were killed in Operation “Just Because.”
• This was the first time the U.s has invaded Panama, whereas Panama has never invaded the U.s.
• A false flag operation is a clandestine action usually carried out by a group with an agenda, done in such a way to mislead a population into believing it is being done by someone else.
• In the opinion of history, and of the editors and writers, we are forced to agree on prima facie evidence alone that this is a False Flag incident at least in the military way.

       Another horrible precedent established, perhaps based on the snatching of Adolph Eichman by the Israeli Mossad from Argentina, absent due process; which is what Eichman was accused of?  What would the FUS do if Panama raided Miami Beach, killing hundreds of Floridians, to kidnap Governor Jeb Bush for violating a Panamanian statute?  Wouldn’t there now be a Territory of Panama, including the U.S. Canal Zone, by virtue of claiming the Spoils of War? —- JL
