Are all these young Americans casualties of a ‘just war’ to protect the United States of America from a foreign threat or are they victims of a dying oil, banking and drug cartel that have enveloped the world defined as ‘The New World Order’? I believe it to be the later.

Will we accept the death of a generation to put gas in our automobiles and hang on to a monetary system and military industrial complex that never should have been in the first place?

Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya what next? Syria? Iran?


We are all victims of this want to be, trying to be, new world order system that is defining our reality today by force. Victims just like the Defense Intelligence team including Maj. Charles Dennis McKee and Matthew Gannon on their way back to Washington with evidence on the CIA’s heroin trafficking. All aboard Pan Am 103, that on December 21 1988 exploded in the air over Lockerbie Scotland, falsely blamed on Libya.

Victims like the 35 students studying abroad with Syracuse University that were on stand-by for a flight over the Christmas holiday who unluckily got aboard Pan Am 103 because diplomats and military officials had been pulled from the flight by the U.S State Department. Oh’ and we thought this Libya issue today was about humanitarian intervention. If you want to know the whole story click here.

Below is the list of 29 American ‘victims’ just from March 3rd to March 31st. Are we going to put a stop to this or is it going to put a stop to us?

Libya And A Country Lost

Today in the ‘Divided States of America’ where there is no rule of law, no constitution and what appears to be a country now run by the United Nations, we wage war with no permission or debate from the people or Congress and without ever being attacked by those we wage destruction upon. We now in the USA live under a rotating dictatorship.


With headlines from state run media such as the Huffington Post (3/16/11) that read “Israel Has the Right to Attack Iran’s Nuclear Reactors Now” brings me to the conclusion that these people are on the verge of insanity!

Civilian death counts estimated in hundreds of thousands and some estimates over a million in Afghanistan and Iraq alone, constant drone strafing in Pakistan killing hundreds there. Does anyone but me see the hypocrisy in all this humanitarian, freedom and democracy BS yet? Civilian deaths have risen from fifty% in WWII to 70% in Vietnam to now 90% and even 100% in the siege of Gaza in 2008.

Are there such short memories that some don’t remember the lies that brought us to the quagmire we are already in that is bankrupting our nation morally and financially? For those that don’t remember the lies click here and visit a page I put together years back, I haven’t updated it in some time but it will joggle the memory no doubt.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Libya, as David Swanson in his excellent report titled (War Is Illegal) wrote-

It’s a simple point, but an important one, and one that gets overlooked. Whether or not you think a particular war is moral and good, the fact remains that war is illegal. Actual defense by a country when attacked is legal, but that only occurs once another country has actually attacked, and it must not be used as a loophole to excuse wider war that is not employed in actual defense.


So now we have yet begun another quagmire on the 8th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, a war on Libya said to stop Gaddafi from using planes and tanks to attack his own people, does anyone really believe this? What would happen here in America if a group of rebels banded together and tried to oust the regime in place today? What about Waco, have we already forgotten the military tanks and aircraft used on the Branch Davidian?

Russian intelligence said “Some of the reports made by western media are not entirely corresponding to the pictures they are getting” and, strafing citizens did not happen, this is a hoax to begin military intervention.

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said:

“The UN Security Council resolution provides no authorization for the use of armed force; there is no unanimity within NATO for the use of armed force … and we also have to think about, frankly, the use of the US military in another country in the Middle East.”


The first 24 hours we have already fired 114 Tomahawk missiles on Libya at a cost well over five hundred thousand dollars apiece, while we have a supposed ally Japan devastated with three nuclear and plutonium cores melting down that has a possibility of compromising life as we know it on this planet if they China syndrome and hit the water table, and nobody is doing anything to help.

One would think in a sane world every powerful nation would join forces together and get this situation under control (like in the movies) but instead it’s more important to go bomb Libya.

Gaddafi Called western leaders “new Nazis” and said “You can withdraw, you can be beaten and go back to your countries but we cannot retreat, this is our land, and we can only be victorious or die here. You didn’t learn from your mistakes in Iraq. We will be victorious and you, the party of Satan, will be crushed.”

“It’s no longer an internal matter it became a confrontation between the Libyan people and the new Nazis.”

And all this and not hardly a peep from the American people, sure there were a few protest in Washington, California, Chicago and even Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsworth was arrested but it didn’t even amount to a couple thousand.

I hope my fellow Americans understand we are waging war on a fourth country now with no congressional declaration and under the guise of the United Nations. It is now official America has been infiltrated, captured, defeated without a shot fired and is now run by the United Nations and enforced by NATO.

It will be written in the history books that America was defeated by apathy, none of these so called self-styled wars are Americas they are the wars of the ones who have conquered us.

It’s All About OPEC

An Intelligence Report.

Over the past week I have been doing my usual reading and intelligence collecting on various issues affecting the world around us, with so much as usual that just makes no sense in the world we live in, it is most of the time very hard to understand just what’s the point of all the nonsense we are all a victim of today.

I know many in the US are still today trying to figure out how our oil got under the sand of the OPEC nations and just how are we ever going to get control of it.

Control and the “Grand Chessboard” and it’s an ugly game being played out worldwide.


Here are a few quotes to be aware of from the book by Zbigniew Brzezinksi

“Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power.”- (p. xiii)

(Eurasia means “the Middle East”)

“… But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America. The formulation of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore the purpose of this book.” (p. xiv)


Zbigniew Brzezinksi

“In that context, how America ‘manages’ Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world’s three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa’s subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania (Australia) geopolitically peripheral to the world’s central continent. About 75 per cent of the world’s people live in Eurasia, and most of the world’s physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world’s known energy resources.” (p.31)

“The momentum of Asia’s economic development is already generating massive pressures for the exploration and exploitation of new sources of energy and the Central Asian region and the Caspian Sea basin are known to contain reserves of natural gas and oil that dwarf those of Kuwait, the Gulf of Mexico, or the North Sea.” (p.125)

“In the long run, global politics are bound to become increasingly uncongenial to the concentration of hegemonic power in the hands of a single state. Hence, America is not only the first, as well as the only, truly global superpower, but it is also likely to be the very last.” (p.209)

“Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public’s sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.” (p.35)

“Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.” (p. 211)

Eurasia

Just as Al Qaeda was created by the US to fight the Soviets Hamas was created by Israel. Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood; think of this when reading about what is happening in Egypt and the world today.

Ron Paul – Israel Created Hamas 01-09-09


Al Qaeda was created by the NWO

Smoke and mirrors!

Muslim Brotherhood threatens to cancel peace with Israel.

“After President Mubarak steps down and a provisional government is formed, there is a need to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel,”

Rashad al-Bayoumi, a deputy leader of the movement, told a Japanese television station, according to a report in The Washington Times.

Read some history on the Muslim Brotherhood here

The Organization of oil producing countries (OPEC) including Iran, Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela all with many social, economic, housing, medical, high unemployment and political corruption problems. All a powder keg of instability all dominated by their oil and gas production and all controlled or manipulated by the Federal Reserve note and or the US.

IT’S ALL ABOUT DISMANTLING OPEC!!!!

With world headlines like

Iran Officially Assumes OPEC’s Presidency (1/1/2011)

Egypt’s rioting and civil unrest will spread worldwide

Iran Warns of US Plots against Unity in Egypt

Exxon Mobil’s profit soars, along with crude oil prices

And…

Egypt protests organized by the US? (Webster Tarpley)

Pyramid of problems…

“Protests inspired by the revolt in Tunisia have dominoed along Egypt, Yemen and Algeria with citizens calling for governmental change. Webster Tarpley, an investigative journalist, argues the CIA, and other intelligence services from the US and other former colonial powers are behind uprisings in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.”


Mr trump sees how we are being abused by other countries?

He say’s “fuel prices could also go the other way, OPEC could be destroyed and have a positive impact on oil prices. OPEC could explode with the middle east and that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. We have to do something about OPEC.”
China’s Manipulating their currency and America is the whipping post for other countries.”

What are the rest of the countries of the world, the bombing range of America. What is the Federal Reserve doing with the dollar, just printing them into oblivion, this isn’t currency manipulation? Talk about double standards and hypocrisy of the highest form. It seems Mr. Trump knows nothing about the truth of international matters and he should stick to being a business man.
God help us if Donald Trump becomes the next dictator… I mean President of the United States.
Watch the video below and listen between the lines.

It’s all about the oil and always has been, keep your eyes on the OPEC nations in the months ahead.

It’s all about OPEC!!!
