They've been exposed for centuries. We were arming hostile insurgents straight back to the French and Indian Wars. Operation Cyclone. Operation GLADIO. Iran-Conta. The Phoenix Program. The FBI's COINTELPRO. The Abraham Lincoln Brigade of the Spanish Civil War. Support for anti-Spanish insurgents in Cuba during the 1890s. Emancipation of slaves during the 1860s. Polk's aid to Texas Revolutionaries that included a former US congressperson turned filibusterer.
