Cuban Five The Cuban Five, also known as the Miami Five, are five Cuban intelligence officers (Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, Ramón Labañino, Fernando González, and René González) who were arrested in September 1998 and later convicted in Miami of conspiracy to commit espionage, conspiracy to commit murder, acting as an agent of a foreign government, and other illegal activities in the United States. The Five were in the United States to observe and infiltrate the Cuban-American groups Alpha 66, the F4 Commandos, the Cuban American National Foundation, and Brothers to the Rescue. They were part of La Red Avispa (lit. 'The Wasp Network') composed of at least 27 Cuban spies. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Five

McCain doctrine The troop surge in Iraq, endorsed in December 2006 by supporters at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), specifically called for a "large and sustained surge of U.S. forces to secure and protect critical areas of Baghdad" with "a surge of at least 30,000 combat troops lasting 18 months or so." In early January 2007 it was reported that the military told President George W. Bush that it had 9,000 soldiers available for a surge (with 10,000 in reserve in Kuwait and the U.S.). In early July 2007, Bush "affirmed his commitment to his escalation plan, stating, 'I'm going to remind the people in the audience today that troop levels will be decided by our commanders on the ground, not by political figures in Washington, D.C.'" However, the DC Examiner reported July 25, 2007, "that 'a bunch of arm chair generals in Washington' from the American Enterprise Institute 'almost single handedly convinced the White H...

Bilderberg Bilderberg is a highly secretive, international think tank and some say, policy forming group which has been meeting annually since May of 1954. Many respected economists have been linked to it, including Joseph Retinger, Kevin Trudeau and Paul Van Zeeland. The name came from the group's first meeting place at the Hotel de Bilderberg, in the small Dutch town of Oosterbeek. Bilderberg was founded by Joseph Retinger, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Belgian Prime Minister Paul Van Zeeland and is comprised of representatives from North America and Western Europe. Since 1954, The secret meetings have included most of the top ruling class players from Western Europe and America. Until he was implicated in the Lockheed bribery scandal in 1976, Prince Bernhard served as chairman. Now, Bilderberg is a symbol of world management by Atlanticist elites. Some observers feel that it borders on the conspiratorial, while others are primarily interested in its implicatio...

U.S. unilateral withdrawal from the ABM treaty. The U.S. Exit From the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty Has Fueled a New Arms Race. In 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin gleefully unveiled a range of new developmental nuclear delivery systems—an intercontinental hypersonic glider, a nuclear-powered cruise missile, and a nuclear-powered torpedo—that he stated were a response to the demise of the ABM Treaty. History appears to back him up. The glider, which has now been deployed, was first tested in about 2004—just two years after the U.S. withdrawal took effect. China is following suit. It has armed some ICBMs with multiple warheads. This summer, it conducted two tests of an orbital weapon capable of delivering a hypersonic glider (an unpowered reentry vehicle that glides in the atmosphere faster than five times the speed of sound). U.S. officials have stated that China is "looking at" nuclear-powered delivery systems. In 2020, the U.S. general who was then responsible...
