Just imagine — the CIA stirring up another international mess. Shocking, right? This is the pattern with almost every operation they fomented. Swap the names, swap the borders, and the script barely budges. One MO, a few cosmetic tweaks, same wreckage in the rearview.
And spare me the nostalgia. A disturbing number of the people running those missions were genuine psychopaths with a budget and zero adult supervision.
I just finished 'Legacy of Ashes' by Tim Weiner. The book doesn’t “suggest” anything — it spells out, line by line, the incompetence, the lunacy, and the rot running through the CIA and the political class that kept feeding it. At times you get the sense these lunatics could literally drop a steaming pile of crap on the table, rebrand it as a “plan to stop communism,” and some suit up the chain would rubber-stamp it without blinking.
The Sino-Indian disaster of ’59 wasn’t the outlier. It was the well-worn template for failure and chaos.
I knew about the rot running through the CIA and political class, but Normam Mailer's "Harlot's Ghost" really made the insanity real to me. The book at about 1,000 pages was supposed to be volume 1 of the "War and Peace" for the Cold War, but he never wrote the second half. Still, you get a sense of the paranoia and delusion that the job seems to foster and inculcate.
"Michael Lynch" ? This is off-topic except in terms of exposing buried/sunken truth. I hope and assume that the obvious sabotage sinking - or lynch-mob hit - of Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch(RIP) and his superyacht 'Bayesian' is being thoroughly researched and investigated by my very small number of fellow full-spectrum grown-up investigators.
The simultaneously announced and equally convenient death of Lynch's Finance VP Stephen Chamberlain in a car "accident" in Cambridge has now also been sunk without trace.
OK - sorry for the opportunistic interruption.
PS. RIP to Lynch's young daughter Hannah too. She was about to "go up to" Oxford - I don't distinguish between rich and poor in my life-long quest for truth and justice - and I'm also an ex-council estate Cambridge University(St.John's) "alumnus" so my sympathies span a wide range of classes..
Every religion has been weaponized by Imperialism.
Brits did it in India to put Hindus against Muslims (Pakistan), and even Muslims against each other (Sunni vs Shia), they also created the ethno-supremacist ideology called Zionism and founded their colony called Israel to put Jews against Arabs.

This is an excellent resource for exposing the covert CIA machinations that alienated India and China, sabotaging prospects for a socialist future in India, which has kept India in political and socioeconomic chains ever since. And it ONLY took between 6 and 7 decades for the damage between the two most populous nations on earth to begin to be remediated.
Post WW II the Pentagon commissioned the Rand Corporation to do an analysis of prospective challenges to US Full Spectrum Dominance and what countries would provide the highest degree of an obstacle. Two countries were presented...Russia and China. Then the RC was commissioned to draw up a strategy to prevent the actualization of a valid challenge to US supremacy. Russia was to be diminished by dissolving the USSR into Russia by breaking up the "republics" and subsequently establishing a military presence via NATO in EVERY former state, thus encircling Moscow with a "defensive-designed force"! Then stir up the Chechnyans. Then use Tibet via the Dalai Lama and the Uighurs through CIA-trained "resistance movements" so as to keep China occupied with these annoyances and disrupt their ascendance as a competitor to the US. Also, post devolution into the entity of now-Russia engineer through western banks and equity groups the transference of any monetary "value" into the hands of the Russian oligarchy to keep Russia on their knees and prevent any economic/psychological recovery by the country and their citizens from the devastation from WINNING WW II. This included the deaths of 24,000,000 Russians, yes, read that right! Ever heard that number associated with any discussion of Russia in the US or Western media? This all changed when Yeltsin, a drunken fool puppet installed by the US, was replaced and the election of Putin. Since he doesn't wag his tail when the US issues orders he has to go. Hence the Maidan Coup and the installation of a Nazi government, under the figurehead of a former Jewish comedian, Volodomyr Zelensky, who, together with his rapacious cabal is robbing Ukraine blind while his "compatriots' are forced into battling the Russian Bear headed by the "new Hitler" Vladimir Putin. This resembles the actuality of our own Civil War! Many Southerners were forced into the war. China would be further weakened by US corporations utilizing Chinese cheap labor to enhance and guarantee US superiority, but China insisted that the US "share their technology" which backfired on the strategy to keep China permanently enfeebled into a wrongly-perceived menial status of the "Poor Man's Country". Now Xi has to go to, thus the saber rattling forays into Chinese territories by our military 'war exercises' and "Pitiful Pelosi's" incendiary visit to Taiwan, removing the "humanitarian mask" the US has worn for decades. It's over, and the rest of the World knows it.
Outstanding work Kit. I have been educated on so many levels especially on the origins of the Sino-Indian split and the role it played in the deeper rift between the Soviets and the Chinese communists. Once again we are reminded of the enormously successful role the American Empire and its deep state intelligence agency, the CIA, have had in slowing down or defeating progressive movements worldwide. My Caribbean has been directly affected..
Always the same central character fomenting chaos every where around the world, in attempts to control it or hinder others from cooperating and progressing.
Imagine if they had instead focused on taking care of their own people? By now, they might even have free national healthcare, free schools, and healthy minds.
But always the wrong path, and in their own neglected society have gone mad, paranoid and are on the verge of destroying the entire planet. Out of sheer blind greed.
And as Norman Finkelstein said, they will nuke China rather than give up their hegemony. Hopefully that won’t be the case, but a diversion to Monroe Doctrine 2.0 is likely to be dangerous and damaging to Latin America. Compare with Boris Johnson’s farcical “buccaneering Britain” and “ Empire 2.0.”

Excellent, important read! Well done, Kit! Puts other conflicts, such as Ukraine, into perspective re how the imperialists operate.
And all who proudly displayed their Free Tibet bumper sticker were part of a cunning CIA campaign of communism containment.
Seven Years in Tibet, with Brad Pitt.

Does that rand corp strategy have a name or so to look it up? Just if you quickly can find or know it. Else no long searching please.

Thanks for the informative article. I was ignorant of the instigation of the war.

I like a happy ending like that.
Thank You Kit
Is there any war in recent times these MIC monsters DIDN'T start?
No!
This is amazing work, thank you!
There is not, on the face of this earth, a more nefarious and evil organization, than the CIA and the USSA government.
Why am I never surprised to learn of yet another CIA triggered war or coup d'etat? Great work, Kit!
