Listing all the horrendous international violations by C.I.A. and American military would be far to Herculean a task for this brief paper, so I will attempt to make a brief list of the majority of known actions of the previous century. These are predominantly acts of corporate heads in conjunction with U.S. administration, using the intelligence establishment and the military, to somehow exert American will over an autonomous nation.
