Please note that none of those are one-off incidents or perpetrated by a rogue party. All of the above were concerted efforts by the United States federal government that were carried out for years on end and, in almost all cases, have yet to be formally apologized for, with some continuing as I type this.
Edit: additionally, the Federal Reserve is not part of the United States government, and is instead owned by Citibank, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, BNY, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Mizuho Bank, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, among others.

I wonder when we will understand the true impact ~1m dead American's had on our nation.
