The Illegal Invasion of Grenada in 1983

Tales of the American Empire | August 31, 2023

When American President Ronald Reagan entered office, he set a goal of re-energizing the American empire that had lost momentum after its embarrassing defeat in Vietnam. Invading the tiny island nation of Grenada would be an easy military victory to display American imperial power. The CIA instigated violence in Grenada and blamed communists, while asserting the Soviets were building a military base on the island. A propaganda campaign began and American military exercises were held to prepare for this invasion.

  1. John Lennon was on the verge of organizing an anti-war peace movement when he was shot. Reagan and Bush of Iran-Contra fame publicly campaigned to revitalize US military dominance in the world. John Lennon was their antithesis. The man who shot Lennon Mark Chapman, had a sordid past. Chapman worked as a volunteer at a refugee rescue organization in Ft Chaffee Arizona. The camp was run by a Christian charity group called World Vision. John Hinkley Sr was on the Board of Directors. He is the father of John Hinkley Jr who was programmed to kill Reagan in Lakewood, CO by psychiatrists specializing in brainwashing. This is presumably where Chapman was recruited by the CIA. The CIA was using the camp to recruit people with nothing to lose and brainwashing them about their future targets, by programming murderous attitudes in their subconscious. That would explain the statements Chapman made to arresting officers and in his confession about the bazaar reasons he wanted to kill Lennon. Another mystery that went unsolved was the fact that the 38 he used to kill Lennon had hallow-point bullets. Who would even think of using hollow-points other than an assassin programmed to kill? And the fact that he shot Lennon after getting Lennon’s autograph earlier the same day is just as bazaar. His confession was peppered with silly excuses for stalking and then shooting Lennon. Counter intelligence specialists I know told me Chapman had been programmed to kill while associated with a Christian organization called World Vision which is a known CIA front group involved in recruiting assassins and providing them with hit list to carry out assassinations. Catcher in the Rye was the trigger in Chapman’s case while Taxi Driver was the trigger in John Hinkley’s. Regarding the Reagan attempt, Hinkley did not shoot Reagan. None of the bullets Hinkley fired hit Reagan. The professional assassin who shot Reagan was perched on a balcony of a nearby building close to where Reagan was shot. In both cases Chapman and Hinkley were patsies used by the CIA to eliminate obstacles to a political and military objective. One of those objectives was VP Bush’s Iran-Contra guns for drugs war in Nicaragua that blew up in his face, and as President the out of area deployment of NATO in the Balkans that shattered Yugoslavia into warring ethnic tribes and would later justify Clinton’s misadventure in Serbia.
