    The US has a military base of some kind of military base in every country on this planet according to the Pentagon SOFA around 737. We intervene in foreign countries just to set up or might on false threats paid for by our tax dollars. Checkout Chalmers Johnson's
    2006 book, “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic,” Chalmers Johnson discussed the known number of foreign US bases by size and branch of service. According to the Department of Defense’s Base Structure Report (BSR) through 2005, it totaled 737 but likely exceeds 1000 today with so many new ones built since then – some known, others secret and always others planned.

    ...and some more:http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/sites.htm

    The Worldwide Network Of US Military Bases
    The Worldwide control of humanity's economic, social and political activities is under the helm of US corporate and military power. Underlying this process are various schemes of direct and indirect military intervention. These US sponsored strategies ultmately consist in a process of global subordination.

    Where is the Threat?

    The 2000 Global Report published in 1980 had outlined "the State of the World" by focussing on so-called "level of threats" which might negatively influence or undermine US interests.

    Twenty years later, US strategists, in an attempt to justify their military interventions in different parts of the World, have conceptualised the greatest fraud in US history, namely "the Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT). The latter, using a fabricated pretext constitutes a global war against all those who oppose US hegemony. A modern form of slavery, instrumented through militarization and the "free market" has unfolded.



    Major elements of the conquest and world domination strategy by the US refer to:

    1) the control of the world economy and its financial markets,

    2) the taking over of all natural resources (primary resources and nonrenewable sources of energy). The latter constitute the cornerstone of US power through the activities of its multinational corporations.

    Geopolitical Outreach: Network of Military Bases

    The US has established its control over 191 governments which are members of the United Nations. The conquest, occupation and/or otherwise supervision of these various regions of the World is supported by an integrated network of military bases and installations which covers the entire Planet (Continents, Oceans and Outer Space). All this pertains to the workings of an extensive Empire, the exact dimensions of which are not always easy to ascertain.



    Known and documented from information in the public domaine including Annual Reports of the US Congress, we have a fairly good understanding of the strucuture of US military expenditure, the network of US military bases and the shape of this US military-strategic configuration in different regions of the World.



    The objective of this article is to build a summary profile of the World network of military bases, which are under the jurisdiction and/or control of the US. The spatial distribution of these military bases will be examined together with an analysis of the multibillion dollar annual cost of their activities.

    In a second section of this article, Worldwide popular resistance movements directed against US military bases and their various projects will be outlined. In a further article we plan to analyze the military networks of other major nuclear superpowers including the United Kingdom, France and Russia.



    I. The Military Bases

    Military bases are conceived for training purposes, preparation and stockage of military equipment, used by national armies throughout the World. They are not very well known in view of the fact that they are not open to the public at large. Even though they take on different shapes, according to the military function for which they were established; they can broadly be classified under four main categories :

    a) Air Force Bases (see photos 1 and 2);

    b) Army or Land Bases;

    c) Navy Bases and

    d) Communication and Spy Bases.

    On the bright side, it looks like we've slowed down quite a bit since the 50's - 70's!

    The majority of those are embassies, not your normal military base.

    Oh no!

    The Band Guys!

    ??? :D:D:D ???

    Look,
    everyone knows we have to support the new global order of the world democratic federation. You don't have to have a victim mentality. Just accept that our fearless leaders know best, and that those who oppose can and SHOULD be overthrown.

    [i swear to god i read something like that in the infowars comment box the other day. yup. don't hate it, learn to love it.]
