World War III Starts Tomorrow?

So says Dr. Steve Pieczenik, a person whom I enjoy listening to and has recently joined the blogosphere! Dr. Pieczenik worked on so much in foreign affairs, it's hard to know how to describe him so that you may understand his credibility. Here is just part of his bio from his website:

Dr. Pieczenik was the principal International Crisis Manager and Hostage Negotiator under Secretaries Kissinger and Vance. During this time he developed conflict resolution techniques that were instrumental in saving over five hundred hostages in different terrorist episodes, including the Hanafi Muslim Siege in Washington, DC, the TWA Croatian Hijacking, the Aldo Moro Kidnapping, the JRA Hijacking, the PLO Hijacking, and many other incidents involving terrorists such as Idi Amin, Muammar Quaddafi, Carlos, FARC, Abu Nidal and Saddam Hussein. Based on these experiences, Dr. Pieczenik, along with other senior officials at the State Department developed the mandate to create Delta Force and other quick-strike special forces units that could be used in future hostage situations and international crises. Dr. Pieczenik resigned over President Carter's handling of the Iran Hostage siege. He was recruited by Dr. Richard Solomon to the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, CA to develop the strategy and tactics using the principles of psychological warfare to dismantle the Soviet Union without the use of military force. 

He pretty much gave Tom Clancy all his material and is the character upon whom Jack Ryan was based.  He is CFR, RAND, State Department, Defense Department, a psychiatrist, and an author.

What I love about listening to Dr. Pieczenik is that he doesn't speak in generalities, but names names, places, dates, and events. That means you've got confidence in what you say and are opening yourself up to possible libel suits. I'm not sure to make of it all, but try to see if and how the information fits with what I have already learned in my ongoing pursuit to get down to brass tacks.

Terror is of the Devil

He doesn't care whom he inflicts it upon. Satan just gets off on  having the human race in a constant state of fear. Whether it is American or Afghanis, he really doesn't care, but is working overtime to make as much mess as he can because his time is running short.

What do you want to bet that this guy was on a psychotropic? Every case of someone going on a shooting spree like this was either going on, going off, or switching mind-altering meds. The Greek word for sorcery is pharmalekia, by the way. In fact, if you listen closely to the ads for these mood drugs, it will list (about as fast as the Micro Machine man can talk) homicidal idealization as a side effect. Combine that with a fifth tour of duty to the middle of nowhere, PSTD, and who knows what all and you have a disaster. Laugh it up, Devil, your spot in the Pit awaits you.


His life has been  displayed like an open book. However those slain also had lives, albeit not as interesting to the American public. But here are their names via Commondreams:

             

Mohamed Dawood son of  Abdullah

Khudaydad son of Mohamed Juma
Nazar Mohamed
Payendo
Robeena
Shatarina daughter of Sultan Mohamed
Zahra daughter of Abdul Hamid
Nazia daughter of Dost Mohamed
Masooma daughter of Mohamed Wazir
Farida daughter of Mohamed Wazir
Palwasha daughter of Mohamed Wazir
Nabia daughter of Mohamed Wazir
Esmatullah daughter of Mohamed Wazir
Faizullah son of Mohamed Wazir
Essa Mohamed son of Mohamed Hussain
Akhtar Mohamed son of Murrad Ali

16 There are six things which the LORD hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A false witness who utters lies,And one who spreads strife among brothers




Mohamed Wazir lost six kids. Odds are, the guy can't read, can't find America on a map, and is just living the life of a mountaineering Afghani doing his thing. Richard Maybury has a saying, you know you're on the wrong side of a war when you're on someone else's land. That's what we said back during the Revolutionary War, and what we Southerners said back during the Civil War. When you're on someone else land, every able bodied man becomes a soldier. When one soldier was asked in Vietnam how to win it, he replied, "kill everyone over the age of five". That's what it comes to when you've got a foreign army vs. a civilian population. Newsflash: no civilian population tolerates a foreign army indefinitely.

Let's talk about Switzerland, a land so neutral that all the world's money winds up in its borders. How do they do it? A well regulated militia, just like the ol' Constitution says that we're supposed to have. You see, all the men are required to have a gun and practice routinely with it. They are trained to go guerrilla and snipe the fool out of the enemy, starting with the highest ranking officers they spot, in the event of an invasion. Two world wars, and they were left alone with this policy. There is something empowering about knowing that you're not at the mercy of some bureaucracy to defend your family, but it is literally in your own hands.

Getting back to our own War on the emotion of Terror, FBI informant Craig Monteilh calls the hunt for domestic Muslim terrorists bs. He was paid to infiltrate the Muslim community in Orange Co. CA and what happened next was slightly amusing (via Guardian):

Such actions have led Muslim civil rights groups to wonder if their communities are being unfairly targeted in a spying game that is rigged against them. Monteilh says that is exactly what happens. "The way the FBI conducts their operations, It is all about entrapment … I know the game, I know the dynamics of it. It's such a joke, a real joke. There is no real hunt. It's fixed," he said. 

But Monteilh has regrets now about his involvement in a scheme called Operation Flex. Sitting in the kitchen of his modest home in Irvine, near Los Angeles, Monteilh said the FBI should publicly apologise for his fruitless quest to root out Islamic radicals in Orange County, though he does not hold out much hope that will happen. "They don't have the humility to admit a mistake," he said.
Monteilh's story sounds like something out of a pulp thriller. Under the supervision of two FBI agents the muscle-bound fitness instructor created a fictitious French-Syrian altar ego, called Farouk Aziz. In this disguise in 2006 Monteilh started hanging around mosques in Orange County – the long stretch of suburbia south of LA – and pretended to convert to Islam.
He was tasked with befriending Muslims and blanket recording their conversations. All this information was then fed back to the FBI who told Monteilh to act like a radical himself to lure out Islamist sympathizers.
Yet, far from succeeding, Monteilh eventually so unnerved Orange County's Muslim community that that they got a restraining order against him. In an ironic twist, they also reported Monteilh to the FBI: unaware he was in fact working undercover for the agency.

In Libya, the blacks were lined up and shot with full US backing by the Muslim groups. We're supposed to be afraid of Muslims while the US funds Muslims to kill Christians. Only the Devil is crazy enough to come up with a plan like this.

War is the Health of the State: Part 1

Let's "essay blog" a classic together! This is the essay War is the Health of the State by Randolph Bourne - let's see how this relates to us today. This post is inspired by this great post at Southern Bread which has a great talk by Thomas DiLorenzo.




First part of an essay entitled "The State," which was left unfinished at Bourne's untimely death in 1918- (oh, we'll definitely need to check that out, won't we?)

---

To most Americans of the classes which consider themselves significant the war [World War I] brought a sense of the sanctity of the State which, if they had had time to think about it, would have seemed a sudden and surprising alteration in their habits of thought. In times of peace, we usually ignore the State in favour of partisan political controversies, or personal struggles for office, or the pursuit of party policies. It is the Government rather than the State with which the politically minded are concerned. The State is reduced to a shadowy emblem which comes to consciousness only on occasions of patriotic holiday.

I Am Not a Hippie!!!

Listen to a Vet tell his story :

h/t Daily Paul
The bottom line: a specific mission, win the war, and come home to the USA!

Zak's long story is found here at Combat Veterans for Ron Paul. The best part is the last part:

Why are we the worlds policeman when our own country is being openly violated? Why are we borrowing money hand over fist from nations not exactly our friends, just to spend it on our out of control foreign policy? I am starting to feel like the powers that be do not have America’s interests in mind at all. It’s starting to feel like our ruin is their objective. From our factories closing and moving overseas, to the plunging value of our dollar, America is crumbling. Yet I love her far to much to watch her fall apart.

This is why I am taking my personal revolution and joining for forces with Dr. Ron Paul’s revolution. His “bring all the troops home” non-intervention foreign policy and plans to put America first again are just what we need at this time in our history. I don’t expect you to agree with everything he says, but I do hope we can all put our differences aside and join him in seeing that ALL the troops come home, the Republic is restored and America saved. Thank you and God Bless.

Warvangelicals - MUST READ

This is a great post by Coach Daubenmire who wrote this great post:
Here's a taste:

It is not popular to say it in Evangelical circles, but Christians should not rejoice in the killing of innocent Muslim women and children. Each one is a potential child of the Living God and Christians should be more interested in flooding the Middle East with Bibles rather than bombs. Just War...remember? Currently, they are more interested in “spreading democracy” than they are in spreading the Gospel.
God is judging America, not because we are turning our backs on Israel, but because we are a decadent, insolent, greedy, blood-thirsty nation that winks at the shedding of innocent blood in the womb, while we “high-five” the killing of innocent children in other parts of the world. We have rejected God. Our works are "continuously evil in His sight" and our hands are stained with innocent blood.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deut. 30:19.
America is dying because we have chosen death and Warvangelicals are the varsity cheerleaders of the War Party.

Please, please, read the rest.

The Muslim world is hungry for the Bread of Life, but wherever our military goes, the Christian population suffers the most. How can they hear if there is no preacher? Historically, the Gospel has traveled on trade routes, but the Enemy would cut those off. Remember, Christian soldiers that we are in a war against powers and principalities and the spoils are not lands and monies, but the souls of men. The followers of Islam are following an evil Hittite moon religion warmed over to get Mohammed rich and laid, that is an established fact. The answer is not bombing them into submission for that is a war without end. Jesus was clear on how to overcome evil - with good. He also said that those who live by the sword (and many make a LOT of $$$ from war) will die by the sword. The idea of perfect Liberty in Christ is an idea that spreads like water over the earth, although the blood of martyrs is often required. The Muslim people were created by the same God and long in their hearts for Holy Spirit. I hope that if you profess Christ, you are praying for them to know the same freedom in Christ that you have been gracious to receive, for at one time a missionary came to your ancestors who were worshiping around a totem pole and shared the Word with them. If you don't have this burden for the souls of your fellow man, then you might want to check and see if your Election is sure.

In 1999 Coach Daubenmire was sued by the ACLU for praying with his teams while coaching high school in Ohio. He now spends his energy fighting for Christian principles in the public domain.

Nick Allison Calls out the Newtster

Oh my is this soooo delicously good. If you like a good smackdown, check out this no-hold bar post from Veteran Nick:

by Nick Allison, U.S. Army Veteran

As the corporate media ramps up its frenzied, panicked campaign against Ron Paul and his supporters, long-shot Presidential candidate and life-long blowhard Newt Gingrich has decided to open his mouth and firmly insert his foot by insulting many of America’s military veterans. Probably a bad move. Just ask Dick Morris. The veterans and active-duty military personnel who support Ron Paul are not the people you want to insult.
Just last week Dick Morris made an ass of himself by claiming that “no true patriot could support Ron Paul.” The comment infuriated veterans across the country who support Dr. Paul and didn’t appreciate being labeled unpatriotic by a chicken-hawk draft-dodger such as Dick. A letter writing campaign was launched by cvrp2012.com and the results were brutal. While CVRP forwarded the letters from veterans to Morris’ inbox we have yet to receive a response or an apology from Mr. Morris.
Now, another chicken-hawk has volunteered himself as a target, so to speak. On CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer,” Mr. Gingrich had this to say: “I think Ron Paul’s views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American.”Here we go again.

Mr. Gingrich, have you lost your damn mind? Ron Paul has more support among members of the military than any other candidate. In fact, he has more military support than all the other Republican candidates combined. By far.You have just indirectly attacked many of the people who serve, and have served, this country with your idiotic remarks. You claim that we are indecent because we support Ron Paul, a fellow veteran, and the only candidate running for President who actually supports and defends the Constitution. The only candidate who actually has a strong conservative record of protecting civil liberties. The only candidate who wishes to use our military for its intended purpose- the defense of our nation- rather than flying us around the world defending corporate interests.
You should be ashamed of yourself, Newt.
Do you know what I find to be indecent? I’ll be happy to share:
•A cowardly chicken-hawk, such as yourself, who never served in the military and avoided being drafted during the Vietnam Conflict, yet seems almost giddy with the prospect of sending my brothers to die in an unnecessary war with Iran and God knows who else.
•A serial adulterer, such as yourself, who now stands conceitedly at a podium and touts family values and loyalty.
•A lobbyist, such as yourself, who made vast sums of money from drug companies and government sponsored enterprises such as Freddie and Fannie and then went on national television and blatantly lied about it to the American people.
The list goes on, but unlike you, Newt, I have a real job to get back to.
In closing I would like to say that we, the growing number of war veterans and active-duty military personnel, as well as the millions of civilians who support Ron Paul for president don’t appreciate being labeled indecent by the Champion of Indecency himself.
While Newt is certainly entitled to his opinion, I’m not quite sure how attacking a large segment of the military is supposed to help his campaign. All publicity is good publicity? Perhaps. I’m sure he will get plenty of it.
On a personal note, I don’t really give a damn about being labeled indecent, unpatriotic or anything else for that matter. Perhaps I am indecent. My tendency to pepper my speech with expletives (like most Infantrymen) may be considered indecent by many.
I just don’t appreciate it when the labeling is done by a hypocrite and a coward such as Newt Gingrich. This warmongering politician has painted a large part of the military with his broad brush of stupidity and ignorance.
Stand by for the barrage of written statements by veterans that is sure to follow. You made this bed, Newt. And now you must sleep in it.
That is all, Sir. You may now go back to doing what you do best: looking smug, spewing pseudo-intellectual bullshit and attempting in vain to defend your horrible voting record and your reluctance to serve in your own dirty little war.

Disclaimer: As always, CVRP doesn’t claim to speak for all veterans. But we do speak for a large and ever-growing number of vets and active-duty troops who are tired of the lies and business-as-usual politics of the Washington élite.

Nick Allison served as a squad leader with 1-21 IN, 25th ID, US Army from 2001-2005, including a 14 month combat tour in Northern Iraq. He lives in Austin, TX with his wife, son and two dogs.

I highly urge you to check out Combat Veterans for Ron Paul, no other candidate has a grassroots site like it!

Veteran Takes on the Toe-Sucker

Brutal. That's what describes this post by Nick Allison, US Army (excuse the salty language):

Recently, Dick Morris made comments on Sean Hannity’s radio show stating that anyone who supports Ron Paul and his campaign is unpatriotic. There’s nothing quite like a couple of chickenhawks who never served their country sitting around defining patriotism. While I am not easily offended, I nonetheless found Mr. Morris’ statements to be slightly disturbing and seriously hypocritical.Ron Paul enjoys strong support among members of the military and veterans. He receives more campaign contributions from active duty troops than all of the other Republican candidates combined. Is Dick implying that we, the people who have actually fought in America’s wars, are somehow less patriotic than people such as himself simply because we disagree on foreign policy? His remarks have insulted thousands of military personnel and veterans.
The sad part is that Dick has no idea what he is talking about. He has no personal experience on which to base his opinion. You see, Mr. Morris was too much of a coward to put his own ass on the line by volunteering for the military during the Vietnam War. He was twenty years old in 1968- prime fighting age. Some other poor kid fought and died in his place. He should be ashamed of himself. Not for dodging service in Vietnam, mind you, but for espousing his current hawkish attitude toward foreign policy despite his reluctance to serve in his own war. You can talk the talk, Dick, but you never had the balls to walk the walk.
I would like to see him tell a veteran to his face, a soldier or marine- someone who was wounded in Afghanistan, who lost buddies in Iraq, who spent years of his life away from his family, who came home with mental as well a physical scars from fighting an immoral and unnecessary war with one hand tied behind his back with red-tape and bureaucratic bullshit- that he is somehow not a true patriot, simply because he supports Ron Paul for President.
I would like to make it clear that I don’t claim to speak for all veterans. I never have. But I do speak for a large and ever-growing number of us. We have fought your dirty little wars. We have killed for our country. Many of us have died. And we don’t all share the same views as Dick Morris. And, according to him, this alone makes us “unpatriotic.”
Even my brothers who don’t necessarily share all of my ideas wouldn’t take such an un-American stance as Mr. Morris has in calling anyone, including the members of the military who disagree with him, unpatriotic.
Dick Morris is a coward, a chickenhawk, a disgrace and a hypocrite. His name doesn’t even deserve to be mentioned next to the names of the brave men and women who have fought and died for this country, regardless of their political, moral or personal beliefs.

Check out Combat Veterans for Ron Paul 2012 and drop Nick a line thanking him for his service and his courage!

oh, and Let Dick Morris know what you think about him: dickmorris@dickmorris.com

Daniel Hannan smacks Down Sean Hannity

Here you go Angliophiles. How about some smooth British accent dismissing the nasal Yankee accent of Sean Hannity? Sean cuts him off when he starts talking about how he opposed the British going into Iraq as he didn't think it would be worth the return to the British people.

Looks like Sean checks under his bed at night for Mullah monsters.

Understand that I do not dismiss the destructive elements of Islam or are naive concerning what they are capable of. Also understand that I acknowledge that war propaganda is a tool of the Elite and have been doing my own digging concerning what the heck is really going on in Iran and what their actual capabilities are. I respect the learning and perspective of Minister Hannan, and refuse to form my opinions out of fear. Give me the intelligence reports and demographics to understand the exact nature of the threats.

Fear is a weapon, people. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace established that in its 1910 founding minutes when it was determined that war was the fastest and most effective way to gain control of a nation. War is the health of the state. It should only be entered into with great consideration for lives will be lost.

When the Elites want to screw the Republican half of the country, they get out their favorite screwdriver, Sean Hannity.

Oh, and to share the wealth of info:

Department of Defense Report on Iran 
Media Misread IAEA Report on Iran
(IAEA is part of the UN, so once again we have the UN wanting American blood to fight for its cause)
Bush administration uses IAEA to send nuclear tech to UAE, a close friend of Iran -ruh roh, when narratives collide, man, don't cross the streams!

The newly interested states include Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen and the seven sheikdoms of the United Arab Emirates — Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Al Fujayrah, Ras al Khaymah, Sharjah, and Umm al Qaywayn.
“They generally ask what they need to do for the introduction of power,” said R. Ian Facer, a nuclear power engineer who works for the I.A.E.A. at its Vienna headquarters. The agency teaches the basics of nuclear energy. In exchange, states must undergo periodic inspections to make sure their civilian programs have no military spinoffs." New York Times, 2007h/t Daily Paul

So you see, Muslims are magically different outside of Iran. The Koran that calls for a global caliphate doesn't exist when Bush is in the last five days of office. 

Unbelievable if you don't understand how international banking works to erode sovereignty worldwide.

Paul Wolfowitz Agrees With Ron Paul

on the causes of terrorism:

There are a lot of things that are different now, and one that has gone by almost unnoticed--but it's huge--is that by complete mutual agreement between the U.S. and the Saudi government we can now remove almost all of our forces from Saudi Arabia. Their presence there over the last 12 years has been a source of enormous difficulty for a friendly government. It's been a huge recruiting device for al Qaeda. In fact if you look at bin Laden, one of his principle grievances was the presence of so-called crusader forces on the holy land, Mecca and Medina. I think just lifting that burden from the Saudis is itself going to open the door to other positive things.

Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz Interview with Sam Tannenhaus, Vanity Fair
and comes directly from the Department of Defense website. But wait, there's more:

The third one by itself, as I think I said earlier, is a reason to help the Iraqis but it's not a reason to put American kids' lives at risk, certainly not on the scale we did it. That second issue about links to terrorism is the one about which there's the most disagreement within the bureaucracy, even though I think everyone agrees that we killed 100 or so of an al Qaeda group in northern Iraq in this recent go-around, that we've arrested that al Qaeda guy in Baghdad who was connected to this guy Zarqawi whom Powell spoke about in his UN presentation. 

If you read the full interview, you'll find him talking about the globalist amorphous and elusive idea of "democracy", which a fancy way of saying that they have puppet control of a country. It sounds better, doesn't it? Like we have democracy here in America, where they have obvious rigged the game in their favor. And when it doesn't go their way, there will be a crisis wherein their strong men will rush in a be the heroes. Same old song and dance.

But you've got to admit, this 2003 interview really exposes the neocon propaganda.
Let's do a Paul Wolfowitz map to see what the ol' boy is into.

Ah, Bilderburg, Trilateral, and World Bank president? Truly a man of Elite quality. Remember what Barry Goldwater said about the Trilaterals in his book, With No Apologies:

The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power – political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical.

So is Barry Goldwater, revered founder of the modern conservative movement a tinfoil hat wearing kook?

Tom Woods vs. Mark Levin Debate

Forget the presidential debates, the real action is between historian Tom Woods (PhD Havard) and ex-lawyer Mark "the great one" Levin.

Col. MacGregor and Foreign Policy

Who's going to call this man a weak-kneed liberal?
He tells it like it is: the Defense Dept is another redistribution of wealth center.
Some are talking him up as Ron Paul's possible Defense Secretary.
Listen for mention of the Insiders, you know who they are: our bankster-cartel friends meeting at the Harold Pratt House.

A Day That Will Live in Infamy

But maybe there's more to the story...

I would note that General Smedley Butler predicted Pearl Harbor in his War is a Racket written in 1938:

In the Orient the maneuvering is more adroit. Back in 1904, when Russia and Japan fought, we kicked out our old friends the Russians and backed Japan. Then our very generous international bankers were financing Japan. Now the trend is to poison us against the Japanese. What does the "open door" policy to China mean to us? Our trade with China is about $90,000,000 a year. Or the Philippine Islands? We have spent about $600,000,000 in the Philippines in thirty-five years and we (our bankers and industrialists and speculators) have private investments there of less than $200,000,000.

Some Iran Backstory

Found this great piece at Lew Rockwell by Robert Parry entitled "How Two Elections Changed America" brimming with details and puzzle pieces to put together. You'll recognize many of the characters you've come to read about here, which makes it that much more interesting:

Political Polls Are Shepherd Hooks for the Weak-Minded

Instead of really getting down to brass tacks, not only where the candidates stand on issues, but also on the reality of our collective situation -the poll trumps analytical thought. This is a bandwagon advertising technique designed to tap into the herd instinct to pick the winner. Doesn't matter if you wind up choosing between Hitler and Stalin, the most important thing is to pick a winner. Notice that the media, who we know is bought and paid for by the large corporations who got large via the Federal Reserve working in tandem with Congress in the Iron Triangle model of business, talks about polls, polls, polls. They don't talk about solutions, issues, or records, unless it is cherry-picked data that advances the agenda of their employers, who are interlocked in all this mess.

Vanguard - Manufacturing Your Doom

If you haven't checked out CL's great and informative post on remote control drone killing, you need to read it now. I'm providing this as a supplemental post to that so that we may better understand the players. This whole thing reminds me of a Star Trek episode. Actually, a lot of what we see today reminds me of various sci fi scenarios. But the one I'm think of today is the notorious "Bearded Spock" episode where Miss Hot Pants tells a confused Kirk he can be rid of Bearded Spock with the push of a little bitty button. Goodbye opposition, we'll be sure to tell everyone what a horrible "threat" you were so you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you were a worthy opponent.

Assasinating the Constitution

The Southern Avenger, Jack Hunter, lays it out in adult terms. Citing Scalia and Blackstone, an adult analysis of blowing up people without due process.

I also love that Jack Hunter has a real southern accent.

Louis McFadden - kooky

Senator Congressman Louis McFadden, patriot, charged the Federal Reserve System on May 23, 1933.

Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime. 
 
These twelve private credit monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this Country by the bankers who came here from Europe and repaid our hospitality by undermining our American institutions. Those bankers took money out of this Country to finance Japan in a war against Russia…Mr. Chairman, there should be no partisanship in matters concerning banking and currency affairs in this Country, and I do not speak with any.”

The more things change, the more they stay the same. You still think this isn't going on? If no one has stopped it, and it makes certain people a lot of money, then why should it be stopped? Louis McFadden would no doubt be called a kook by the conservative media of today. Actually, they would check the letter by his name first before they could begin to consider the merit of what he had to say. That's just how shallow those caught in the dialectic's mind trap are.

Oh, and McFadden "impeached Herbert Hoover" according to this 1932 edition of Time Magazine:

No man in the House hates President Hoover more intensely than he. Last session he accused him of treason in granting the Debt Moratorium (TIME, Dec. 28). He has fought the Hoover financial policy at every turn.

McFadden's list of grievances:

• Herbert Hoover . . . unlawfully usurped legislative powers 
• ... a policy inimical to the welfare of the United States 
• . . . unlawfully dissipated financial resources 
• . . . injured the credit and financial standing
•  ... his declaration of the moratorium has meant sacrifices by the American people
• . ... He did appoint one Andrew W. Mellon Ambassador while a resolution for the impeachment of the said Mellon was being heard
• . . . . Treated with contumely the veterans 
• . . . sent a military force heavily armed against homeless, hungry, sick, ragged and defenseless men, women and children and drove them out by force of fire and sword. . . .
  

Sounds familiar to me.

America vs. The United States Government

Do you blame America first? Well, do you punk?

Whenever one criticizes the United States Government's policy abroad, one is accused of blaming America first. Heck, I used to think that way and it would grate on my nerves if anyone, anyone suggested that America was anything but a force for good in the world. I had a knee-jerk Pavlovian response to such accusations and the phrase "icky liberal hippie scum" would automatically come to mind, and I would totally disregard everything that person had to say about anything. If I were in a buffet line with one of them and they said how much they loved ham, I would then choose chicken just to be opposite them for spite's sake. I'm being completely honest with you so that you can understand how I broke out of the Bankster Matrix and understand the psychological warfare that they use via Hegel's Dialectic.

Rick Santorum Needs to Listen to This

Rick Santorum, when he's not trying to get a book sold or get his face on the TV, is shilling for the standard neo-con talking points as we saw last night in the debate. Using the good 'ol Hegelian Dialectic, he tries to suggest that if you quote what Osama Bin Laden said ala "Sun Tzu- know your enemy", you somehow blame America and hate America. I hope that those of us who follow the news have grown out of these juvenile mind-tricks.

The truths is this, after 9/11, Ron Paul wrote a bill that would have issued Letters of Marque and Reprisal against Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda which would have paid assassins to go and destroy them. This is how Jefferson handled the Barbary Pirates that neocons like to point so much to prove the eternal evil of Islam. This is probably what the majority of everyday Americans thought was happening when we went into Afghanistan full force, as that's just common sense.

But defense contractors, their lobbyists, their boys in DC, and the whole war machine doesn't making the dough on something so simple. The "defense budget" takes up a full quarter of the Federal Budget, which is many times the defense budgets of other nations, who depend on us for their defense. A side note, there is a difference between truly defending your country and offending it so that the military industry can profit. I hate to say it, but at the sheer billions and billions of dollars some of these companies have made in the last decade, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they weren't thrilled for the US to go to war.

I can't get it to embed, so here is the link to an interview by Joel Gilbert who claims that we fell into Al Qaeda's trap and are really their pawns in all this. Mr. Gilbert is the director of Atomic Jihad , whose assertions I don't totally agree with, however unlike some I can listen with an open mind. With the 9/11 attacks, Mr. Gilbert asserts that the full force of the US military was drawn into the internal affairs of these Muslim countries for the purposes of destabilizing secular Muslim countries and replacing them with more fundamentalist Islamic theocracies. You have to admit that we see that happening. He makes the point that "winning the hearts and minds" of a country like Afghanistan, where over 70% of the population is illiterate and most don't have access to modern propaganda dissemination devices, is impossible. Mr. Gilbert also makes the point that the billions we spend in Afghanistan on local recruits to the army is wasted as they join for a month at a time for the paycheck and then disappear with their money back into the boonies, probably to help fund the Taliban. But if you attempt to point any of this out, you're some kind of a kook, huh?

I can't wait as we progress in our Sutton studies to the use of provocateurs, as I think we will draw numerous parallels to our current situation. Remember what Norman Dodd said of the Reece Committee investigation, it was determined by the Carnegie Foundation that war was the most effective tool to change a society in short order.

In Libya, There are No Good Guys

The situation in Libya is an excellent case study for those of us who are trying to figure out how the United States Government actually conducts its foreign policy. Knowing the bare bones facts keeps us from being manipulated with propaganda. Let me just start with some bullet-points of things I recall seeing these last few months and then we can try to piece them together to get a cohesive explanation on what is going on:
