Hey America, WTF? is a dossier disguised as a book—a jagged, unfiltered chronicle of the United States as seen from behind the curtain. The author, a ghost in the system, served in the military and later slipped into the folds of federal bureaucracy, where truth was rationed and reality came with footnotes.
A history book to show the ugly side of American history, from slavery and the less than stellar treatment of the Native Americans, to state sanctioned human experiments including nuclear, biological and chemical weapons testing on civilians, prisoners and members of the military. This isn’t the version of history you’ll find in textbooks or presidential speeches. It’s the version whispered in late-night bars, buried in classified archives, and erased from official timelines. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and probably dangerous.
We’ve allowed companies and industries to contaminate and pollute the air, soil and ground water in order to both encourage growth and reduce costs, at the expense of tax payers, manmade chemicals made less than 100 years ago are already in 99% of every living being, chemicals in Americans bodies that are not easy or sometimes impossible to break down and get out of our bodies, some cause chromosomal damage and others effects multiple generations of families affected.
There’s a long line of questionable foreign intervention by the government sometimes backed up by the mighty military, giving rise to an overwhelmingly powerful intelligence community who has more power than anyone ever imagined possible decades ago.
Read it if you dare, but don’t say you weren’t warned.
The topics discussed here are things that the American government would hope the public would either forget about entirely or be so distracted by everyday life that they never think twice about them.
With a rich history of experimenting on Americans, crushing labor movements, subverting sovereign foreign nations and their people for either financial and/or political gains, or to expand the American foothold on the global stage to flex our military might; a touch of global manifest destiny if you will. There’s been a long line of questionable events and scandalous stories that had been attempted to be covered up or denied outright. With the documents and information we do have and can prove, it is likely only a fraction of the things that happened either off the books entirely or they were at least able to destroy any records or information related to things the government didn’t want to be tied to, officially.
There’s no level of paranoia, no amount of watching over your shoulder you do or how many cameras you have around your house; if the thing you’re doing is making it difficult for the government or its agencies to do the things they want to do then you will be stopped, cough, JFK, cough, MLK Jr, cough. You may have a book or media that’s silenced or an American company may refuse to back presenting it to the world out of fear of retaliation from the government of because the government still has a hidden hand in media dating back to Operation Mockingbird by the CIA in the 1950’s to control and influence the stories coming out in the news and media, supposedly they stopped but there’s very few things if any that the CIA ever got out of the business of.
The government has a long history of experimenting on its citizens individually, as a whole across entire cities, communities and even across broad sections of the country, to including service members of the United States Military. There’s been nothing off limits to the imagination of American doctors and scientists, later that would include the knowledge of German and Japanese doctors and scientists who were responsible for some of the worst atrocities mankind has ever seen during World War 2. The American government wanted their awful knowledge derived from torture and heinous experiments to give them an edge against the Soviets in future combat to control the world and curtail communism.
If it’s ever in question, this writer has never wanted to end their own life, anything that does happen should be considered suspicious and foul play was likely involved with an accident as a safe cover up. Plausible deniability is the safe word for CIA orgies, they facilitate other people doing illegal things, they don’t put their hands on the items being moved. Whether it was opium from Kuomintang (KMT) forces during the Chinese Civil War from 1927 – 1949, heroin from the Golden Triangle in Southeast Asia during the 1960’s and 1970’s, cocaine from South America in the 1980’s. While also exchanging the cocaine for weapons but also selling weapons to Iran secretly using Israel as a straw purchaser to release hostages held in Lebanon to then send the Iranian money to the Contra’s, who were connected with some drug dealers on the west coast to start the rise of the crack epidemic. In 1979 Jimmy Carter started funding the Afghan resistance to the Soviet invasion, lasting all through the 80’s until 1991; so all through the 80’s we were funding the Afghan Mujahideen, the Contras in Nicaragua, selling weapons to Iran while giving Saddam support in their fight against Iran, wait what? We also gave Saddam chemical weapon precursors, primarily for use against the Iranians but it would also be used against the Kurds with barely a footnote in history books and an American government willing to turn a blind eye.
This isn’t to say other governments haven’t done horrible things such as the holocaust, Tiananmen massacre, the Rape of the Chinese city of Nanjing by the Japanese or other atrocities caused by Japanese troops, the Cambodian genocide by the Khmer Rouge. Ethnic cleansing and unspeakable atrocities are intertwined with human history, there’s too many people willing to do horrible and horrific things to others just because they can or because they’re told to. It took a lot of people to carry out Hitler, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot’s orders; disgusting people enjoyed the killing fields of Cambodia with the amount of fun they had with killing people and awful individuals enjoyed their time working the concentration camps.
We can’t and shouldn’t ever forget those things, we must remember what can happen when people follow orders, when people are willing to go along with some of the most atrocious event mankind has ever seen. We have an uncomfortable history we have to remember because of the people who suffered through the terrible events, we owe it to those people to always remember their names while understanding how we got to those points to keep it from happening again. We should all document the horrible side of our governments history to learn from history’s mistakes and so we don’t let atrocities keep happening.
