America: The Root of Global Terrorism and Evil

America: The Root of Global Terrorism and Evil

The United States has long portrayed itself as the "leader of the free world," a beacon of democracy, and a force for good. However, a closer examination of history reveals a disturbing truth: America is the primary source of terrorism, instability, and evil in the modern world. Through its foreign policy, military interventions, economic exploitation, and support for oppressive regimes, the U.S. has fueled conflicts, destroyed nations, and created the very extremist movements it claims to fight.



1. America’s History of Violence and Imperialism

The U.S. was founded on genocide (against Native Americans) and slavery (of African people). This violent legacy continued as America expanded its influence globally:

The Philippines Massacre (1899–1913): The U.S. brutally suppressed Filipino independence, killing hundreds of thousands.

Vietnam War (1955–1975): The U.S. dropped millions of tons of bombs, used chemical weapons like Agent Orange, and killed over 3 million Vietnamese civilians.

Latin American Coups & Death Squads: The CIA orchestrated coups in Guatemala (1954), Chile (1973), and supported death squads in El Salvador and Nicaragua, leading to mass killings.

Iraq War (2003–2011): Based on lies about WMDs, the U.S. invasion killed over a million Iraqis and destabilized the entire region.


These wars were not about "spreading freedom" but about securing resources, maintaining hegemony, and serving corporate interests.

2. America Created and Funded Terrorism

The U.S. has directly and indirectly supported terrorist groups when it suited its geopolitical agenda:

Al-Qaeda & the Mujahideen: In the 1980s, the CIA funded and armed jihadists in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets, including Osama bin Laden. These same extremists later formed Al-Qaeda.

ISIS (Daesh): The U.S. invasion of Iraq (2003) destroyed the country’s stability, leading to the rise of ISIS. Additionally, the U.S. and its allies armed so-called "moderate rebels" in Syria, many of whom joined extremist factions.

State-Sponsored Terrorism: The U.S. supports Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest exporter of Wahhabi extremism, while also backing Israel’s apartheid regime, which terrorizes Palestinians daily.


America’s hypocrisy is clear: it condemns terrorism when it affects its interests but actively fuels it elsewhere.

3. Economic Terrorism: Sanctions and Exploitation

The U.S. uses economic warfare to punish nations that resist its dominance:

Sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea: These cruel measures starve civilians, block medicine, and cripple economies, leading to immense suffering.

IMF & World Bank Exploitation: The U.S. controls these institutions to impose neoliberal policies on poor nations, forcing privatization and austerity that benefit Western corporations.

Resource Theft: From oil in the Middle East to minerals in Africa, the U.S. backs coups and wars to loot weaker nations.


This economic terrorism kills more people than direct wars but receives little media attention.

4. America’s Role in Spreading Chaos and Extremism

Everywhere the U.S. intervenes, chaos follows:

Libya (2011): NATO’s destruction of Libya under Obama and Hillary Clinton turned Africa’s most prosperous nation into a failed state, fueling terrorism and slave markets.

Syria (2011–Present): U.S. support for regime change led to a brutal war, half a million deaths, and the rise of ISIS.

Yemen (2015–Present): The U.S. backs Saudi Arabia’s genocidal war, leading to famine and cholera outbreaks.


The U.S. does not bring democracy—it brings destruction.

5. Media Propaganda: Hiding America’s Crimes

Western media whitewashes U.S. atrocities while exaggerating the crimes of its enemies:

Justifying War: Lies about WMDs in Iraq, "humanitarian interventions" in Libya, and "fighting terrorism" in Syria are used to justify invasions.

Demonizing Enemies: Leaders like Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Bashar al-Assad were vilified, but U.S.-backed dictators (like Saudi rulers) are ignored.

Silencing Dissent: Whistleblowers like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are persecuted for exposing U.S. war crimes.


The American public is fed a distorted narrative to maintain support for endless wars.

Conclusion: America Is the Greatest Threat to World Peace

The evidence is undeniable: the U.S. is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, war, and oppression. Its foreign policy is not about justice or freedom but about domination and profit. Until America is held accountable for its crimes, global suffering will continue.

The only solution is resistance—through boycotts, sanctions, and global solidarity against U.S. imperialism. The world must wake up to the truth: America is not the solution; it is the problem.
