Do you know Immortal Technique?
He's a rapper who always talks about the goverment being corrupt. He says that the US sold Saddam Hussein weapons before we went to Iraq and started the whole thing, and that the US does nothing but initiate the wars with other countries. To me, it seems like a lot of people nowadays wanna believe in all this 'truther' crap such as his saying that 9/11 didn't really happen or that the US just wants oil and money. A lot of things like that could be true, but man, look at the overall picture.

He's a phenomenal rapper. Some things he says are historically true and some are far-fetched theories.
Saddam was a cruel dictator, but yet he did get America support, at least at one time. America's only real enemy in the region was/is Iran. Saddam started a war with Iran, so it became a situation where "an enemy of our enemy is our friend". Like all the Arab nations in the region though, most of the military weapons in use come from Russia. The only America gear in the region was antique WW2 stuff that we were happy to give away. American aid to Iraq did not include much in the way of weaponry since Saddam had plenty of oil money to buy what he needed from more willing suppliers. Saddam did not become our adversary until he invaded Kuwait. Before that most of the world outside of Iran merely ignored his war games.
He is a Dominican communist rapper with a speech impediment. It is a nice break from the usual gold chains, violence and ho's material most rap "artists" speak to, but it is still juvenile Marxist crap with a bunch of conspiracy theories and occultist nonsense mixed in.
Maybe Hillary Clinton knows about him:
