Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Cue Tears For Fears...

Since the end of the proverbial "Cold War" in the late 80s and early 90s, most people would seem to agree that there has been one surviving 'superpower'.  Most of those self-same people would also identify that surviving 'superpower' as the United States.

But, as is usually the case, the majority is completely wrong.  Not that it's entirely their fault.  The majority is deeply involved in twitting the contents of its breakfast and the timing of its bowel movements to a breathlessly awaiting world.  The majority doesn't have time for such piddling details like who actually runs the Western hemisphere.

The only remaining 'superpower' is, of course, Israel, and curiously enough, since the end of the "Cold War", Israel has been struggling mightily to get someone else to bomb Iran into glass blobs.  If you don't believe me, then log off Twitter just for a moment and go and look up how long Israel has been trying to get someone else to fall on their sword in Iran.  From what I've found, it was around 1993.

Now you may disagree with me that Israel is a 'superpower', or THE 'superpower', but history and current events would argue against you.

Israel dominates US politics.  In the past week, that little sliver of desert on the eastern Mediterranean has been all over the news huffing and puffing at the UN General Assembly (for lack of a better term).  During one of Iran's presidential speeches, Israel stormed out of the chamber and was incensed that no one followed.  They did a little back-room arm twisting, and during the second speech, the US dutifully followed its puppet-master.

Another example can be found by (I know this is painful, but...) turn on any of the 'christian' broadcasting networks and check out John Hagee, or Benny (the Doo) Hinn, or any of the other useful idiots.  Listen to the amazing hoops these 'people' will jump through to defend and apologize for Israel.  Thanks to a convicted felon named Scofield, they have so badly mangled the Bible - which is amazing considering how mangled that document already is - that they have millions of gullible folks believing that Israel has the right to slaughter anyone it doesn't like because Gawd has ordained it.

It's gotten so absurd, in fact, that the 'Star of David' has virtually supplanted the 'cross' as the corporate logo of this bastardized form of 'christianity'.

Needless to say, these 'people' receive scads and oodles of money from the Israeli lobby to keep the rubes in line and voting with Israel's foreign policy, which is best summarized as, "Death to all who don't toe the line!"

So, why has Israel spent the better part of the last 20 years trying to get our sons and daughters to be cannon fodder in Iran?

As we all know, the tag line in the Israeli advertising that passes for a Free Press is that Iran is trying to produce an atomic bomb.  *GASP*  An atomic bomb, you say?

The laughable part is that we've been told this for literally 20 years!  This implies that either Iran is hopelessly inept when it comes to nuclear research, or they just aren't doing it.  Surely after 20 years, you'd think they'd have come up with some kind of pop gun by now.  Hell, Pakistan and India and even North Korea have gotten that far.

Let's also set aside the emotional hot button that they want an atomic bomb.  Frankly, an atomic bomb in today's world is hardly worth playing with.  When the perceived enemy has particle beams, masers, missile defense shields, autonomous drones, cruise missiles, bunker busters, and hydrogen bombs that make little atom bombs look like kid toys, why bother?  There are many more productive lines of research to blow your defense shekels on.

Obviously, there's another agenda, but what could it possibly be?

Well, let's look back at Israel.  Here we have an arid strip of land with virtually no natural resources.  In order to grow food, it must heavily irrigate the land, which takes copious amounts of fresh water.  There's little to no oil, though just up the coast, recent discoveries include very large oil and gas fields just offshore.  Israel has no natural boundaries or defenses, just literal lines in the sand and the occasional massive concrete walls.

In other words, Israel's neighbors are gifted with fairly decent natural bounty, while Israel itself must import pretty much everything but air.

On top of that, given Israel's 60-odd year history of militaristic expansionism, its neighbors have developed the habit of beefing up defenses.  They've done such a good job at it, that when Israel invaded southern Lebanon twice in the past few years, it had its Zionist butt handed to it right quick like.

And why did they invade Lebanon?  Well, it wouldn't be all that sparkly clean fresh water just over the border from its collective farms, would it?  Nor would it have anything at all to do with all the juicy delicious oil and gas sitting just up the coast, would it?

And why does Israel want to destroy Iran?  Well, it wouldn't be that Iran is the largest source of funds and supplier for Hizbollah, who recently handed Israel its Zionist butt twice, would it?  Oh, and Hizbollah also happens to be a mover and shaker in Palestine, which also happens to be Israel's real name.

When you think about it, Israel is one of the largest dealers in death and destruction, at least in the region, if not the world.  Its hands are dirty with so many false-flag attacks (USS Liberty anyone?), cyber attacks, stealth wars, and so forth that if any country should have sanctions leveled against it, Israel would be it.

Furthermore, that Israel runs the US, and the US runs the EU, it literally controls much of the western hemisphere's power and wealth centers.  Add to that Israel has its hands deep in that peculiar form of American 'christianity', and successfully manipulates great numbers of people through religious channels, as well.

It clearly leads one to conclude that any incumbent politician in any election in any western country should be soundly defeated.  One must further conclude that the replacements should be thoroughly vetted for their stances on the Israeli question.

One can only speculate what wonders of peace and harmony would follow, should Israel's iron grasp on the west suddenly fail.  For one thing, we would all be finally free of such notable ego maniacs as Nutty-yahoo.  In addition, the Mossad's ability to undermine regimes and create wars would be severely hampered.  These effects alone would nearly ensure a fresh, new take on things.  Almost certainly, great gobs of peace and love would be bursting forth all over the place.

Something to ponder on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Beats football, at any rate.

Sunday Funnies
Been a while, but finally got a good one...

Dear all,

It has come to our attention that some employees have wrong perception on the use of clothing in accordance with our dress code policy as stipulated in the firm’s staff handbook.

I Walked, I Crawled, Iran

Hey kids!  Welcome to another exciting round of DoubleThink, the game where we train ourselves to be unthinking mules serving the evil faceless Massah!

Today's exercise:

• 2001 Iraq - al Qaeda is our enemy, they have always been our enemy.
• 2011 Libya- al Qaeda is our friend.  They have always been our friend.
• 2012 Syria - al Qaeda is our enemy, they have always been our frie...enemy.  (Oops...)

OK, got that square now?  And while we're at it, China is our life-blood, I mean they want to destroy us, I mean our economic partner, I mean...  You can insert Russia in there too, since we hate them again, but we can't get to our nice little space station without them.

Sorry, I don't buy any of it.  I'm cursed with being able to remember more than two minutes ago.

Today, I keep seeing the headline that Iran wants to blow up the Statue of Liberty.  That's so much hog-wash on so many levels.  Let's look at a few.

First, the source is ex-CIA.  Now, I don't know about you, but when I see the letters 'c', 'i' and 'a' followed by the word 'says,' I immediately close out everything that follows.  That organization was founded by Nazi left-overs and has gone down hill ever since.  Every singe word, bar none, that comes out of the CIA is complete rubbish, even if they tell you the time and it agrees with the atomic clock at the Naval Observatory.

Second, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from that shining become of liberty and democracy, France.  I was meant to symbolize the freedom enjoyed by the citizens of the country over which the statue stands.  However, everything it symbolizes has been trampled under foot, shredded, burned, and shat upon.  It was a process that began in 1861, with the War of Yankee Aggression, and was completed with the passage of the USA Patriot Act in 2002.  Frankly, everything the statue was meanth to symbolize is but a distant memory, even for us old farts.

Third, assuming the US strikes first on Iran, they have every moral and legal right to strike back in any way they can.  Sorry, but that's the God's honest truth.  I don't care how much hysterical non-sense the Israelis and US lapdogs spew, if the US strikes first, Iran has the right to defend itself, including striking the US mainland if it can.  And of all the countries the US has shat on over the past century or so, Iran certainly has the ability to hit back.

That statement may shock some of the more gullible readers whose conditioning is a bit deeper than the rest.  So we should probably examine it a bit, just to make sure no one walks away thinking I am promoting the idea.  I'm simply pointing out the moral and legal right, under Natural Law and centuries of international law, for a country to attack an invader and defend itself.  In fact, it's a fundamental right recognized in US law.  Shooting a home invader in most States will not get the home owner charged with a crime.

Since the deeply conditioned readers will point to all of Iran's crimes, lets examine them for a moment to make sure we're not missing anything.

Iran is developing nukes.  OK, so what?  Both of the countries making endless noise about attcking Iran are up to their eye-teeth in nukes.  The US has actually dropped nukes on Japan, and used DU ammunition in several countries, which is just as bad, radiation-wise.  The Israelis have used DU ammo, as well as dropped burning phosphorous on innocent populations.  If I were Iran, I'd be working my ass off to get a couple of nukes by sometime tomorrow.

Iran is developing nuclear reactors.  Yo...bozo...every developed nation on Earth has them.  Even Indonesia.  In fact, Japan has poisoned the entire northern hemisphere with a couple of theirs.  If Iran wants a couple to diversify their grid, and they're willing to put up with the risks that less intelligent nations have taken, that's their business.

Iran is a threat.  Iran hasn't invaded another nation in over 300 years.  It's last war was against Iraq, who invaded them, and were supported by the US who gave Saddam Hussein illegal chemical and biological weapons to use on the Iranians who were lawfully defending their nation.  The only overt threats Iran has made are to retaliate against any aggressor.  Fair enough.

Iran destroyed the US embassy and took prisoners back in 1980.  A bit late to get 'em for that, don't you think?  Besides, they were rather upset at having been manipulated by the US and UK for a century, and having rather unpleasant dictators installed over them and supported by same.  Frankly, any flatulent red-neck arm-chair general in Podunk, USA would have done the same...or at least sent the neightbor's kid to do it.

Iran's navy just docked in Syria and they are building up their military.  Well, duh.  Siryah's president invited them and the Russians.  They didn't invite the US, which is hovering offshore like a swarm of killer bees, but which docks itself in other nations' ports all the time.  Of course, the US calls it goodwill missions, but I hardly think having nuclear-capable ships loaded with all kinds of weapons as a hearty show of good faith.  On the other hand, this is the first time I can remember ever hearing about Iran's navy going anywhere outside of their territorial waters.

Iran cut off oil to the UK and France.  And...your point is?  Those two have done far worse to Iran, and for far longer.  Besides, how smart would it be to sell fuel to a bunch of jerks who are going to turn around and shoot it back at you?  The US has been kicking its collective ass for doing that with Japan for 60 years.  I call that rather intelligent on the part of the Iranians.

Iran wants to take gold and other currency, instead of dollars, for their oil.  Yup, it's THEIR oil, and given the general state of the US dollar right now, I don't blame them.  I don't accept dollars, either.  I always lose money on the exchange rates.  I prefer rupiah or yuan, myself.  Can't fault the Iranians there.  And since it's THEIR oil, they can accept dirt clods and cow pies for it, if they wanted.

Any other points?  As far as I can see, Iran has been more than patient in the face of a global campaign to smear them.  They have shown remarkable poise and restraint in the face of highly aggressive sanctions and military build-ups off their coast, not to mention the dozens of US military bases that surround them.

They have held their hand even though the US has amitted that Israel has been conducting covert acts of war on Iranian soil, going as far as outright murder of Iranians worldwide.

The point of all this is, if the US attacks Iran unprovoked and based solely on the shabby excuses enumerated here, then Iran has every right to fight back.  That includes bombing US cities and cultural (albeit useless) icons.  Anyone who gets upset by that is a hardcore idiot, or evil, or both.

For too long, the US has attacked other nations with impunity, partly because they have selected poor, unarmed countries, and partly because those countries haven't had the ability to project force at a distance.  However, as the US becomes more and more aggressive, and attacks more nations unprovoked, eventually it will run afoul of a nation who can strike back, and who might have bigger friends willing to help.

Bullies can go on for a long time, but they never go on forever.  Eventually, someone gets tired enough and has nothing to lose by hitting back.  The bully is rarely ready for it, and he usually run away in terror when it finally happens.

The US is already showing signs of fear.  The development of unmanned drones and robotic soldiers is a sure sign that someone in the Pentagram is getting cold feet.  They are sending machines to do a man's job, because they know they are wrong and aren't willing to show their faces.

The good people of the US had better stand up to their rogue government and shut down its Death Squads before one of the kids on the block gets tired and starts punching back.  Americans aren't ready for that.  No living American has seen war on their own streets.  They've never walked past bombed out houses next door or stepped over shredded bodies on the way to the grocery store.

American will scream bloody murder (literally and metaphorically) when it happens.  They will hop up and down wanting revenge, not remembering the death and destruction on their own hands.  It has all been sanitized and packaged for them on the evening propaganda.  It's all very theoretical and far away from them. But what happens when it's your neighborhood and your neighbors?  What happens when Joe Sixpack is kneeling in the rubble of his house holding the torn body of his oldest child?

It's all scenes that the US has caused in other countries countless numbers of times over the past 60 years.  Are Americans ready to live what they have doled out?

I seriously doubt it.

Americans need to seriously consider these facts when they are pulling the voting levers over the next couple of months.  They need to ponder these scenes when writing their checks to the IRS not long after that.  They are playing with fire and not questioning the consequences.

Go read up on the sacking of Rome.  Without a severe change of course, it can and will come to your home soon enough.  As the US economy falters and it weakens from the inside, the wolves at the door are growing in number.  They are pacing, watching and waiting.  Eventually, the US will make a mistake or show a weakness, and the wolves will pounce.

All those Bible-thumping presidential candidates seem to have forgotten one of the best-known lines in the whole book, "He who lives by the sword shall die by it."

It's all fine and good when the Home Team is winning, but the streak will end and it will be nasty.  Might want to prepare youself.  Kids who play with matches get burned.

The Camel's Nose

Birth, flares, gold, oil.  Sounds like a Red Hot Chili Peppers come-back album.  This week produced some big headlines.  One was a real game-changer, but we'll get to that in a minute.

The Obama eligibility trial was a curiosity that I followed with some interest.  That he is not qualified to be president I think has been proven beyond a doubt, since he himself has never hidden the fact.  His (claimed) father was a British subject who never became a US citizen, or even resident.  Obama is therefore disqualified from holding the office.  Plain and simple.

The incident does belie Obama's contempt for the rule of law, even as the top enforcer in the land.  Comments made by his attorney also show no respect for the sovereignty of the individual States, which is a fundamental aspect of the nation's Constitution.  Those who argue that the Constitution is a dead letter forget that without it, the federal government ceases to exist except by fiat and force.  In most dictionaries, that would be the definition of dictatorship.

The interesting thing about this story is that the religious fervor that surrounded Obama back in 2008 is fading rather dramatically.  When he was elected, the world held its breath and one was required to genuflect and cross themselves when mentioning the name "Obama."  This was a global phenomenon, especially here in Indonesia where he had citizenship for a few years, and may still, for all we know.

To say that his is a failed presidency is, I think, a fair estimate.  Obama had not even warmed the seat in the Oval Office before they were giving him Peace Prizes.  He has failed miserably at that particular measure.

What repercussions the Georgia hearing will have remains to be seen.  Obama has successfully weaseled his way out of many such tight corners, though this is the first to actually get any evidence and testimony on record.  The implications, should he ever be found lacking in the eligibility department, would be the vacating of every law he has signed since taking office, among a great number of other things.  Something to watch.

The Sun woke up this week with a sizable puff of plasma and radiation that swarmed Earth's neighborhood and caused everything from enhanced aurora to minor communications hickups.  At least one airline rerouted flights across the Arctic Circle to avoid any problems.

This will be an issue to watch throughout the year and into the next.  So far, Sun Cycle 24 has proved to be fairly unusual, beginning as it did with a very quiet period that is only now seeming to end with a bang.  There are numerous theories around tying sun spots to extreme weather, earthquakes and similar natural calamities.

The possibility always sits on the sidelines that a major X-class flare could put a quick end to civilization, seeing as how we are all tied to electronics and electricity.  The Canadian blackout in the late 80s is but a small taste of what is possible.  The Sun's behavior going forward for the next couple of years will definitely bear watching.

The Reputican primaries are notable only for the fact that they have degraded into a giant cat fight.  The sheer amount of hissing and spitting and fur flying is great entertainment, but has little to offer in the way of substance, which I suppose is a metaphor for US politics anymore.

It has served to wipe Ron Paul out of the headlines, which I suppose is the real purpose.  All the finger-pointing over who worshipped Reagan more is otherwise completely pointless and completely misses the fact that Reaganomics is a major factor in the current US economic situation.  The world is suffering the results of the Reagan administration's policies.  Any politician trying to out-Reagan another should be avoided at all costs, because they just don't get it.

Rand Paul has done a fine job of keeping the family name in print, though.  He simply denied TSA the right to get intimate with his 'goodies.'  What no one seems to have mentioned in all this, is that the TSA committed a felony by violating the Senator's Constitutional mandate to be able to go unmolested to Washington to attend to official business.  Paul, on the other hand, did not commit any crime, since TSA's mandate is by fiat and not by law.  They exist by law, but their supposed power has not been codified, and so they are acting as rogue agents without warrant.

Something to watch, if Daddy and Son Pauls decide to take it any further.  Meat for the media grist, otherwise.

The biggest story of the week, and of year-to-date, comes out of my part of the world.  India and Iran inked a deal for India to buy oil using gold.

Now you may be thinking, "What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?"  Well, every country in the past twelve years that has dared to unhinge oil trade from the dollar benchmark has been invaded and demolished.  Every...Single...One.  Of course, it was all in the name of democracy and freedom, and in, "You will be free or we will kill you."

The root of the invasions have all been keeping the dollar standard in the oil trade.  That is the one and only thing that is propping up the dollar.  The world is absolutely dependent on oil for energy, and having the dollar as the global standard for buying oil keeps it in demand and at the center of global trade.  If anyone, and by that I mean ANYONE dares to undermine that system, they must be destroyed.

The alternative is that the dollar crumbles under the weight of its debt, US hegemony vaporizes and the folks at home will revolt about ten minutes after the pump price hits $10 per gallon.  There is simply too much riding on petro-dollars.  The entire American Empire is built on this one simple fact.

Now, Iran is no problem.  The west has been demonizing Iran since what?, the 1980 hostage situation, though western meddling in Persia dates back centuries.  Bombing Iran into dust, or at least attempting to, won't be much of a problem from a propaganda point of view.  If the western media said that Iranians were a bunch of 3-eyes monsters with six fingers and toes, most Americans would believe it.

The real nightmare here, at least from the Anglo-American elite perspective, is India.  India has been painted as a strategic trade partner, and indeed, a great gob of US jobs have been shipped to India to keep it latched on the western teat.  The country sits on the back porch of China and the US has at least one major military base on Diego Garcia, which is claimed by the British, but that is largely due to India not exercising its historical claim...so far.

The British, despite having lost India as a slave colony some time back, have maintained a 'guiding hand' in Indian affairs.  This has served to balance China's ambitions in the region, which serves the western interests.  That India is showing signs of independence and self-interest is dangerous to the western elite.

This one act has numerous implications, not the least of which are undermining US hegemony over oil trade (the dollar), providing Iran with very fungible and uncontrollable means to buy weaponry and technology, and re-establishes gold as a currency, which the western elite have worked tirelessly to stop over the past century.

You see, you can crash a paper currency if things get out of hand, leaving folks with little more than toilet paper if they don't toe the line.  But you can't do that with gold.  Everyone everywhere will accept gold at all times for trade.  This is a dangerous precedent for those who would rule the world.  It's even more insulting that India has been quietly turning its dollars into gold for decades, because simply put, in Asia gold is still king.  Around these parts, wealth is not measured in piles of paper and digits, it is a function of how many pallets of gold one controls.

What is worth watching in this story is the way in which the western elite will handle it.  Iran, of course, is already demonized, but what about India?  If India can't be brought back under control, then it must be destroyed, because it is a key balance on China.

One sign that things are already getting out of control is the price of gold.  It took a week or so, but the gold price has started up sharply again, after being reigned in for the past two months.  If it is allowed to reach its natural level against fictions like Wall Street exchanges, it will be well over $2,000 an ounce soon.

This whole thing could be a catastrophe for the elite.  If the gold-for-oil trade isn't soundly put down, and fast, then it could well catch on.  By the end of the year, there could be similar agreements with Russian oil producers, and China certainly has the ability to buy its energy needs with gold from places such as Venezuela, Brazil, Indonesia, and others.

If the value of the dollar starts to fall sharply, which it has this week, then action is imminent.  We will likely see an attack on Iran, at the minimum, within two months.  But what happens if a dozen countries start down this path?  The US/Nato doesn't have the where-with-all to mount that many war fronts at one time, and if it tried, it would simply hasten the outcome they are trying to avoid.

The student of global empire will want to closely watch this development.  It slipped by rather quietly, but trust me, there are a lot of soiled shorts behind the curtain.  A lot of countries are sitting up to see what will happen.  The Fed move this week to keep the dollar interest rate at zero is a sign that they are desperately clinging to the dollar.

At the end of WWII, there were only two powers left standing: the US and USSR.  The USSR has failed and the EU, which was set up to join the game, is failing.  The only major power left is the US, and it stands on the dollar and the military power as its left and right legs.  Kick either one out from under it, and the whole house of cards crashes.

Nato's Libya escapade (Qaddafi wanted gold for oil too) sucked the life-blood out of Greece, Italy, Spain, and the rest.  They can't effectively shore up the US military weakness caused by dollar devaluation.  At some point, the straw will come that breaks the camel's back.  It is inevitable.  Whether the Iran-India agreement is it remains to be seen.  What is a fore-gone conclusion is that the western interests can not allow it to go on.

Might want to set up a news scanner for India/Iran/gold.  There's liable to be some fireworks very soon.  The Sun may not be the only source of radioactive flares in our near future.

We Control The Horizontal

Rick Santorum, intellectual midget that he is, has called for treating Iranian nuke scientists like al-Qaeda.  Brilliant, Mr. Rick!  But which al-Qaeda?  The one in Iraq that is the sworn enemy of truth, justice and the American Way?  Or the one in Libya, where the western powers massed their technological might and bombed the country into dust so that al-Qaeda could raise their flag over the government complex?

For decades now, we've been inundated with the message that Global Warming is the downfall of Mankind.  Sea levels will rise due to melting polar caps and the only way out is to trade carbon credits in yet another rigged and BS market that literally puts a price tag on the air we breathe.  Yes, sea levels are falling and no one...except yours truly...has bothered to point out that Venus and Mars have atmospheres that are over 95% CO2, while Earth's is only 0.035%, and that seems to have no bearing whatsoever on the mean ground temperatures on any of the three planets.

Think about that for a minute.  Two planets with +95% CO2, one hellishly hot that other frigidly cold.  In the middle is a planet with 0.035% CO2, and it's just right.  I don't see a connection, though temperatures do seem to be related to mean distance from the Sun.  Hmmm...could it be the Sun has something to do with it?

It does seem like extreme weather is ramping up around the world.  The question I have is, what part of the impression is due to increased reporting and sensationalism, and what part to actual statistical increase.  It's hard to find unbiased reports on the incidence of extreme weather, versus the hype.  No one can deny that amazing floods in Pakistan (last year) and Thailand (this year) have occurred.  There doesn't seem to be anything amiss with tropical weather.  The number of storms and the number of major hurricanes hasn't changed much in over a century.

Of course, if you live in an area that has been devastated by a hurricane or typhoon, you'd tend to think the world was coming to an end.  Certainly, having personally witnessed the destruction after Katrina/Rita, I have a healthy respect for Ma Nature, but the storms caused more hysteria than relative damage.

There does seem to be a dramatic increase in the number of tornadoes in the US since the 1950s.  However, this is not statistically significant, since the data is limited to one geographical area, has a very short period of coverage, and does not account for the introduction of things like Dopler RADAR and other nifty tools.

How about crime in an around the OWS protests?  If you take the headlines as a measure, then the groups are riddled with rape and murder, and drugs and theft.  The media would have us believe by implication that the OWS groups are moral degenerates.  Yet, if we were to subject any similar urban area at random to the same scrutiny, would it reveal a greater or lesser amount of the same crimes.  Also, how must of that crime is due to agents provocateur shipping in problems to generate this kind of image, and how much is due to the media focus attracting all sorts of characters to these events?

I looked and couldn't find any statistics that compared the geographical incidence of crime in any US urban area to that of the OWS protests, but I imagine that there's very little difference, other than the proximity to any given group of people with intense media focus on them.  In my experience, if you set up a TeeVee camera anywhere, especially with a network news logo on it, you will attract weirdos like moths to light.  In the Age of Ego, the medium is the message, as McLuhan so famously said.

All of the information inundating us is neither knowledge nor does it involve facts.  It is completely subjective clap-trap that is being used to control and motivate us in whatever direction the Purveyors of such rubbish care to point us.

There problem is, there is so much of it and so little time to absorb and digest it, that we often must act (or not) based on little or no truth.  In general, people can no longer distinguish between knowledge, facts and truth.  They are trained by TeeVee to passively soak in 'information,' but they are not taught how to process it and critically evaluate it.

Rick Santorum pushed an emotional hot button that has been installed in the average person over the past 20 years (look up news coverage of al-Qaeda-goes back to Iran-Iraq war).  Twenty years ago, al-Qaeda was the US' best buddy, as they fought on the front lines against the mean and nasty Iran, which was defending itself from an aggressive invasion by Iraq, which in turn as using chemical weapons supplied by the Bush crime family (that's why they were so sure Saddam had them).

Then al-Qaeda became the US' mortal enemy in the Iraq war, incapable of moralistic action and deed.  The US' propaganda would have us believe that this group sprang up whole cloth to destroy the American Way, though they are hardly capable of scheduling their own laundry pick-up without CIA assistance.  Then, they were our friends in Libya, best buddies in fact.  They had morphed into great and shining future of a country that was already quite great and shiny, as far as the residents were concerned.  The US and EU marshalled the cobined might of NATO and spent eight months and billions of dollars to destroy Libya and make it safe for al-Qaeda.

Now they're the enemy again, and what's worse, Iran's nuke scientists (what's left of the after all the plane crashes) are just as bad as al-Qaeda.  It makes my head quite literally hurt to ponder the two sides of that equasion.

Carbon dioxide has become our mortal enemy, even though there is absolutely no proof that is caused a greenhouse effect, at least on the scale we are told.  Two other planets have nearly 100% more CO2 than Earth, yet their ground temps are at polar opposites, so there must be some other cause or explanation.  Furthermore, a look at the real numbers leaves us with inconclusive data regarding increases in extreme weather and other ancillary effects of 'climate change.'

The whole thing is nothing more than a scam to create yet another gambling table in the market casino, as well as find a way to literally charge us to breathing.  BREATHING, for God's Sake!  Who in the hell has the right to charge us for breathing?  But, since we allow THEM to charge us for water on a water planet, and we allow THEM to patent DNA, which is the foundation of all life as we know it, why not pay-per-breath?

Also, since all life on Earth, so far, is carbon-based.  Without it, we don't exist.  So, trading in carbon credits allows THEM to literally own the very atom that is the foundation of all life on Earth.  It is the only logical conclusion that a thinking person can draw from the endless hype and pant-wetting surrounding CO2 and carbon trading.  No single life form on Earth can reduce its 'carbon footprint' to zero.  It's freaking impossible if you respire, eat and otherwise go about the activities that define Life Itself!

What it comes down to is the absolute need for critical thinking.  The first major step in that direction is to turn OFF the TeeVee.  You can not think when you are literally drowning in information.  We must also remember that information is NOT knowledge, nor is it facts.  Information is mutable and can be morphed into anything one desires.

In fact, recently the good folks at CERN, who are obviously unconCERNed about the future of all life on this planet, or even in local space, have yet again broken the light speed record.  They shot some nutrinos into the Earth at a target 400-some miles away and the the nutrinos arrived at the target before they were shot out of the cannon.

The basic implication is that information can be sent backwards in time.  Therefore, all information that we have today can be polluted by the future.  It literally implies that someone in the future can propagandize someone in the past to manipulate future outcomes.  Wrap your head around THAT one!

Meantime, don't listen to anything your hear.  It's all BS designed to confuse us and make us act on emotional triggers rather than critical deduction.  If everyone can be manipulated into emotional tizzies with never a break to actually think about what is going on, then two things can be achieved.  One, no one will ever have the time to realize that they are being manipulated, and two, everyone will eventually burn-out and suffer emotional collapse, since that state of being can not be sustained over lifetimes.  Takes entirely too much energy and causes people to react before they completely ingest the information and convert it to knowledge and facts.

Especially important is to realize when someone is making an emotional appeal, and to tune them out immediately.  They are trying to manipulate you and a very low level of consciousness, and therefore should be considered evil and unworthy of our attention.  The one distinguishing feature of human beings is our capacity to reason, though many of us ever use it.

And remember, EurAsia is our friend.  It has always been our friend.  There was never a time when EurAsia was our enemy...

Zen And The Art Of Civilization

When the going gets weird, the weird get strange.

It seems that is an effective way to summarize the state of global events.  In an effort to distill things out into some kind of top level view, we want to look at trends in current developments.  What is going on and where is it going?

What launched this ponder was the Oklahoma earthquakes and a quick scan of Drudge, which is as close to an internet oracle as any around.  The trick is to look at things not as discrete events, but to get gut feelings from processing batches of related events.  Its like going to a new Chinese restaurant.  You want to get a sense of how well they do things, so you order the pupu platter and sample a variety of offerings to taste the overall quality and creativity of the chef.

Something that rarely surfaces on most folks' radars is the fact that the Solar System has been passing through the equator of the galaxy for the better part of a decade.  As the Sun orbits the galactic center, it bobs up and down through the plane of the galaxy each few thousands of years, and according to some theories, this causes all sorts of havoc in local space.

For those not familiar with Richard Hoagland, or more on point, his Hyperdimensional Physics theory, then a little background.  Hoagland and Erol Torun discovered a series of embedded mathematical constants and relationships within the layout of various features in a place called Cydonia on Mars.  The constants seemed to point to a new kind of physics that had been tapped into in the late 1800s by folks like Maxwell, but then abandoned in favor of Einsteinian Relativity, despite the fact that Einstein's later work was moving in this direction.

The central feature of this theory is that all spinning masses become conduits of vast energy from higher dimensions through things like torsion and angular momentum.  We don't want to get bogged down in details, but you are easily able to get more information by searching those terms.  Suffice it to say that the Sun, planets and moons all spin around each other.  This group in turn spins around the galaxy, which spins around other galaxies.  According to HD physics, this is tappng and releasing vast amounts of energy.

The energy of the galaxy is channeled radially out through the plane of its spiral arms.  As we pass through the Sagittarius Arm, we are receiving an extra dose of the gobs of radiated energy of the whole system.  This is turn, and reducing the scale considerably, is affecting the Earth, which is not only absorbing additional energy, is is actually a pipeline for it.  In Einsteinian physics, E=mc2, so the additional energy is translating into more mass, which leads to Clif High's Expando Earth scenario.  In other words, as the energy passes through the Earth, some part of it is converted into additional mass, at least in the form of plasma, which is causing the Earth to swell up like a deer tick.

As you can imagine, this is causing some problems.  Take a deflated balloon, draw a picture on it, and then blow it up.  Each element of the picture expands away from every other element, such that at some point, the picture becomes unrecognizable.  Result?  Earthquakes, among other things.

Add to all this the idea that any spinning body that comes within the proximity of Earth/Moon system will swap energy with the system.  Under normal circumstances, this is not much of a concern, other than the possibility of collision.  But, these are not normal times.

Along comes YU55, the erstwhile asteroid buzzing us about this very moment.  Even if it passes uneventfully, which is likely, at some level there is an energy swap going on with our planet.  In the already excited state of things, any additional changes in the Force are going to be felt one way or another.

Complicating all this is the fact that humans, despite our hubris at believing that we are above Nature herself, are energetic beings.  Our primary means of movement, thought and life are fundamentally electrical.  Now if our local space is over-excited by vast currents of enerfy flowing through it, you must conclude that we too, are picking up additional energy.  In our hyper-excited state, we become increasingly belligerent.  Our social and economic systems become overheated and start to break down.  People in general become restless and irritable, though most of us are unconscious of why.

Sudden influxes of energy into 7 billion people all at once can either lead to explosive destructive events, or enormously creative bursts, or both.  Much of it depends on how we focus and channel that energy, but it requires knowing that it is there in order to use it wisely.  It's similar to a high-tension power line.  If it is handled appropriately, we all get lights, computers, A/C, and other fine amenities.  But one false move, and it's crispy critters as well all lie in a smoking heap on the ground.

With all this in mind, what do we see in the world right now?  In general, the world is dividing up in a bipolar adversarial scenario.  East is rising up against West with almost precise electro-magnetic dicotomy.  The sabers are rattling in every corner, as Israel blusters against Iran, the US against the Middle East in general, and the Sino-Russian pole against the Anglo-American pole.

On a macro level, social and economic institutions are crumbling, and nothing we do can stop it.  It's like playing with metal filings and a magnet.  The political scene is the magnet, and everything else (us people) are the metal filings.  We are all lining up on the field lines with irresistible force.  All these new alignments are causing the old institutions to crumble, and no amount of bailouts is going to stop the inevitable crash.

On the geological front, the Earth is shifting and changing.  In the normal course of events, these things take place over such vast scales of time that no individual human being would ever notice.  But there is strong evidence that at various times, there are sudden and catastrophic re-arrangements that cause continents to submerge and new ones to rise.  Coastlines morph in the geological equivalent of the blink of an eye.  Valleys rise to mountains, and the mountains become plains.  Not much any of us can do about it, alone or in any combination thereof.

All of these forces are going to happen, no mater what.  Our actions can either exacerbate things, or alleviate them.  For instance, BP's little oil leak at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico released untold amounts of pressure suddenly and dramatically from a vast lake of oil that extends underneath Texas, Louisiana, Arkasas, and Oklahoma.  Like sticking a pin in a balloon, this caused a relaxing on the overlying strata, which in turn is causing what?  Earthquakes in places where their history of quakes can be written in a single paragraph.  This at a time when global geology is becoming remarkably fluid and shifting around, such that the global incidence of large (7+) quakes is becoming much more frequent.

At the same time, a rather large asteroid is passing near the Earth/Moon.  As a spinning mass, it is channeling energy, just like we are, and it will release it in unknown ways.  We probably won't even associate the results, since they are likely to happen days, weeks, months, or even years after the fact.

Meanwhile, all of our socio-economic institutions are crumbling, and our response, rather than creative is destructive.  On the whole, humanity is rushing to finish the job lickety-split, rather than dreaming up new and durable means of conducting our daily lives.  Think of it as a metaphysical earthquake in which we are running around lobbing sticks of dynamite while trying to shore up crumbling buildings at the same time, all while the ground is heaving up and down.

If we can change course and start using all this energy to devise new and creative ways to conduct business and manage our resources, this influx of energy can give input to the system that would generate long-lasting change.  If, on the other hand, we fail to recognize what is going on and simply react in mindless orgies of destruction and death, then who knows how long it will be until we reach even this point again?

Europe experienced the Black Death, which led to hundreds of years of isolation and cultural stagnation.  Current events are of an order of magnitude larger and would affect the entire Earth, not just a sub-continent.

What needs to be done is first realize the current beneath the waves, then give up trying to save things that can't be saved and focus on using the raw energy and materials at hand to build something truly new and more durable.  Like an illness, once you stop denying that you are sick, and investigate the cause of the problem, then it can be treated, not at the symptomatic level, but at the root of the problem.  If that isn't done, then it is likely to become much worse and even fatal.

If Israel would stop its rediculous posturing and offer the hand of peace and partnership, then Iran would have no reason to build nuclear bombs, much less use them.  Clearly, Israel's problems are self-inflicted.  In much the same way, if the US changed its policies to something more benign, with regards to the Middle East, then it would have nothing to fear in terms of terrorists.  If Europe would realize that the old system is broken and let go of it, then a new one could utilize all the energy and effort being thrown at patching a blown out tire.

Everything we see going on now is part of a polarization process.  The yin and the yang are growing more distinct and one is trying to overcome the other, rather than seeking balance and equality.  Even the symbol for yin and yang implies rotation and torsion, meaning that the eternal cycles are fundamental to generating life and the creative process.  Perhaps in the end, an explosion of creativity, like the Age of Enlighenment, must naturally be followed by an Age of Darkness and destruction to balance it.  It's counterintuitive, but so is cutting back a tree to make it grow larger.

At any rate, the important part is simply to realize the current under the waves.  If we can figure out a means to navigate this invisible highway system of energy without destroying ourselves in the process, then the future is bright, regardless of the current storm clouds.  If not, then most likely everything will vanish is a massive POOF, and we will start over once again, a cycle we are doomed to repeat until we figure out a way to look beyond what divides, to see what unifies.

Perhaps all the Stonehenges and pyramids and megalithic structures were previous attempts to communicate the fundamental concept to us.  The question is, what have we left for our progeny that is equally provoking and mysterious?  Will the legacy of our collective attempt to climb out of the cradle simply be mass graves?

We shouldn't be afraid to trim the dead branches.  This will only clear the way for more energetic growth and fruit-bearing shoots.  But it's a choice we have to consciously make...to lose a little and gain a lot, or die holding on to what we have because we refuse to look ahead and prefer to drive in the rear-view mirror.

Tough choice.

Behind The Curtain

A little aside before I launch into today's tirade.  Just suppose the STUXNET virus made its way into the Fukushima reactor complex and is, at least partly, responsible for the mess there.  That would make the US/Israeli spooks directly responsible for nuking the Earth.  Just a thought.
------
I think we can begin to link some dots that have taken well over a decade to fall into place.  It seems we can also detect a level of desperation behind the Libya attacks by NATO forces.

It is quite clear from history that Iran is a jewel in the crown of the NWO.  They have lusted to destroy and remake Iran in their own image, both for the oil resources, but also because some piece of ancient history is there, and they need it.

During the Iran/Iraq war in the 80s, the US was best buddies with Saddam Hussein and supported his efforts to fight Iranian forces.  They gave Hussein WMD, which is why they were so sure he still had them when they illegally attacked him twice in the 90s and later in 2002.

Long before that, the US interfered with Iran's sovereign affairs in the 50s and installed a puppet shah, who was supposed to give the NWO full access to Iran's resources.  However, he instead used the money to build up Iran and create a fine modern society.  That was not part of the plan, so the NWO funded a revolution, which unseated the shah.  But that backfired when fundamentalist elements took over leadership, instead.

Since the 90s, there has been a concerted effort to slowly seal off Iran.  The invasions of Iraq and Afganistan, regardless of the public reasons, were to achieve very specific goals.  The Taliban in Afganistan were destroying the opium business, which funds a lot of black ops.  They also wanted a lot more money than originally agreed at the headquarters of a large oil company in Houston in the 90s (I met them).  The money was to pay for right-of-way for a pipeline from the Caspian Sea oil fields to Israel.

The escalation into Pakistan was predicated on the issue of that country's leadership getting too independent.  That threatened the NWOs ability to shut down energy and food (and weapons) coming from China.  Therefore, Pakistan had to be balkanized in order to make trans-national shipments all that much more difficult, and thus isolate Iran from a major supply line.

The take-over of Iraq also allowed the NWO an convenient excuse to station large naval assets in the Strait of Hormuz and harass and control yet another supply line for Iran.  It also effectively land-locked Iran and for all intents and purposes, surrounds the country with NWO military assets.

The next step was to destabilize Egypt and install an even more compliant leadership, and thus deliver control of the Suez Canal to the NWO.  This would prevent Iran from scoring humanitarian points by supplying Palestine with aid and fuel.  That achieves a dual goal for Israel...or does it.

Things seemed to go awry.  The pro-Western implants in Egypt are losing their grip and nationalist elements are gaining strength.  Witness the rebuke of Ban Ki-Moon, who wanted to take a victory tour of Tahrir Square.

Then Qaddafi did the unexpected.  He used the Hussein maneuver and started blowing up the oil fields of Libya, since he was fully aware of the fact that the 'protesters' were NWO implants and the goal was control of the oil.  The NWO couldn't tolerate that because it would surely push the EU over the cliff, so they had to hastily put together a 'coalition' of puppet states.

But several things are happening.  I firmly believe the Japanese quake and subsequent events were either completely unexpected, or were triggered too soon.  The NWO had spent a lot of time setting up the Middle East situation and the Japan events swung the spotlight in the wrong direction.  Since then, they have been working overtime to downplay Japan and keep focus on the Middle East.  If they fail, then the effort to build global support for their take-overs there will lose momentum.

In contrast, look at what happened after the Banda Aceh tsunami.  Global media was completely focused on the region for months, with Clinton and Il Padrino Bush both running there to pose as humanitarians.  In Japan, there appears to be a concerted effort to stay away from there and keep attention off of those events.  It wasn't supposed to happen just now.

Because of the shift in focus, and because Qaddafi is threatening the EU's largest fuel supply, the NWO had to throw together something to try and refocus their efforts.  However, the Germans and Turks refuse to join. The British and French are fighting each other over who gets to be in charge of the slaughter.  The Arabs didn't sign on in droves.  Russia and China have both condemned the attack.  NATO is falling apart on party lines.  And Obama is now in very dangerous territory.

You see, Obama committed US troops to the Libya attacks without so much as a cigar-and-whiskey meeting at the Oval Office to line up Congress.  Instead, he took marching orders from the banksters, who rammed a resolution through the UN.

See, the thing is, the US military and government are no longer of/by/for the people.  When the country went broke, the banksters took over and put the country in receivership.  They now call the shots, not Congress, Obama or the people.  When they said jump, Obama said how high, and continued to party in Rio.

Qaddafi is sitting on a huge pile of gold.  The NWO can't cut off his source of funds.  Also, Qaddafi runs the most modern and wealthiest countries in Africa, with a standard of living higher than countries such as Russia. Furthermore, the NWO attacks are more likely to generate sympathy and nationalistic feelings on the part of the populace, who will then turn their guns against the outsiders and take care of internal business later.  That's why the F-15 was shot down over rebel territory.

So, the NWO is scrambling.  They are making a lot of mistakes right now.  Their desperation is showing up in many different areas.  Japan landed a good right hook on their glass chin and they are reeling.  If things continue along these lines, they could suffer set-backs that put them back decades.

It's not time to celebrate.  Cornered animals are the most dangerous.  The NWO is likely to do anything at this point to regain their control of events.  Meantime, the Fukushima situation is becoming increasingly dangerous for all of humanity, Ann Coulter's idiocy aside.  At night, blue beams of neutron radiation can be seen coming from the destroyed reactors.

This is an unprecedented opportunity for activists, though.  The NWO is off-balance and some good shoves could topple the bastards.  Qaddafi has the upper hand, as well.  Because his enemy is acting out of desperation, it gives him several tactical advantages, as well as some PR brownie points.

We are in a very interesting cross-roads of history.  A force that has worked for centuries to dominate the Earth is teetering from unexpected events.  In Japan, there is an unprecedented disaster that could cause generations of damage to humankind.  Geological tensions are building in a number of hot-spots around the world.  The Moon and Sun are exerting rare pressure on Earth.  And in the near future, there's a big question mark as Earth aligns with the galactic center in December 2012.  No one knows what will happen, or if they do, they aren't telling.

And finally, there's the Big Secret.  There are pieces of ancient technology and knowledge lying somewhere in Iran.  It must be the key, because they have scoured Egypt, the Moon, Mars, and numerous other places in the Solar System.  Iraq had some pieces, but not the key, so they have to go into Iran.  It's the only place left where the missing parts could be.  If they finally get their grubby hands on it, the sky's the limit...literally.

What can you do?  Prepare your family, of course.  But, start thinking about way you can push the tottering bastard until he falls over.  The idea here is similar to the Chinese torture called 'Death of 1,000 Cuts.'  If we all push just a little, then the cumulative effect will be quite effective.

As the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times."  They don't get much more interesting than they are at this moment.

Sampai jumpa!
