Imperialism help

[marcelina44]

Hola Comrades,
I'm in highschool. We have to do a collage of some sort and i'm doing mine on American IMperialism. I need help. I already painted a board brick red, got some pictures ( i need more maybe you have some), and a cloth flag turned upside down i airbrushed with a $ for the stars.

What would be a cool way or eyecatching way to assemble the collage, i don't think im too good at this..

also, pictures would be very appreciated.

i'm sorry for my request, and thank you for reading.

assemble it like a collage---- glue the flag on the board and the pictures over the flag, overlapping and asymmetrical in chronological order to tell a story of the US's unmitigated aggression. Get the big ones.. Vietnam, Korea, the Contras in Nicaraugua, the Iraq war.

Hard to find a lot of anti-Amerikan photos on the internet. But if you do a search you will find more.

some Contra photos:

The Conta one is more right wing, it seems like it supports the contas showing them in a sympathetic light.

Take pictures with red or white backgrounds and make the stripes out of those pictures.

Yeah, Unfortunetely, they are all sort of right wing sources. Hard to find anything decently left wing on here. The US plane photos from the Contra site are good though-- shows complicity. The Vietnam sources have to be picked through also. But the military gear, tanks, planes etc. are good to use too.

Marcelina, I would just glue them on the flag with the edges overlapping in collage fcrm and symbolizing continous warfare.

There are some Iraq war photos here. I'll warn you, some of them are pretty gory. but, if you look through them you might find something useful.

The photos under Weapons of Terrorism & Mass Destruction are good. US war machines

Keep in mind I have a stomach of steel. I can literally eat food while watching bodies being torn apart, blood, gore, violence etc.

That was some sick shit.

The one that was worst and the one I couldnt remain looking at was the one where the guys head is open, but there is no skull inside. Its like someone pulled out his skull and left his face intact.

The poor kids.

Who the fucking hell puts a glowstick in a kids gunshot wound to the head? That is an american soldier glowstick. They are used for signaling.

The prisoners. They killed them with ice.

I apologize, I have not seen anything this horrific before from the 3rd degree burns to the chemical reactions to the torture. I have seen many horrifying things but these are innocent people in many cases.

It brings tears to my eyes.
