WikiLeaks: U.S. secretly backed Syrian opposition groups

Click here to access article by Craig Whitlock from Washington Post via Global Research. (I normally post from the original source, but in the past I've noticed that after a period of time many articles disappear from their original links in mainstream media.)

Once again, we see our tax dollars at work trying to destabilize countries in the interests of the global capitalist Empire. And then there are all the human casualties and crimes. Meanwhile, we are asked to sacrifice Medicare, Social Security retirement benefits, education, and numerous other social programs to pay for these nefarious activities. As I heard one NPR announcer say one day regarding public spending cuts, "it's the new normal". In other words, "suck it up, there is nothing you can do about it!."
