…To The Shores Of Tripoli
The
Empire is stirring. You may not notice it initially and you may not
care yet: in time you will. The US is the only military in the world
that can invade a prepared and defensive nation – not only expecting to
win; but to dominate the event. Pax Americana is coming to an end.
Outside of an attack on Hawaii like Japan used in 1941; the US picks
its wars. The only functioning Empire in the known universe, America
has the capacity to unilaterally act with overwhelming force.
It normally takes years for a situation to reach a critical boiling
point where the US will intervene. The GW I & II era took 6-9
months of obvious preparation time before occurring. Kosovo was an
aerial war with no real ‘boots on the ground’ until the outcome was in
the waning stages.
Afghanistan started out as a special ops cowboy war; it has now
slowly grown into the largest armed conflict on the planet currently.
The Iraqi war is winding down with combat troop levels dropping to
historic low levels since 2003.
Normally,
the U.S. is slow to act; however when the Empire does act, under most
circumstances it is prepared to handle two individual wars at the same
time. The Iraqi war is winding down currently, giving the US the
capacity to act unilaterally again. The US has a military budget that
is larger than the rest of the world combined. This gives it the
capacity to act in its own best interest on demand.
World War I & World War II are both prime examples of the US
arriving into an ongoing conflict with overwhelming muscle. The above
will provide you with the context of what is next to come.
When an Empire decides to attack another nation, there are a set of
dances that both sides normally undertake: it’s akin to a ritual
courting, in reverse. The outcome of this public ritual dance is war,
not a peaceful diplomatic outcome. With the benefit of hindsight,
these signs are unmistakable. The US and England have always had a
unique international relationship and is one prime example.
While the US is the current Empire, the US was originally part of the
last Great Empire. Those old relationship bonds run deep and true.
While the media loves to try to highlight the gap between nations,
politicians come and go on both sides. Some politicians are friendlier
to the unique relationship than others.
The
relationship is most obvious when it comes down to the art of making
war. The US and England combined present a war making capacity that the
rest of the world combined lacks hands down. When they speak as one
the rest of the world listens.
“We have seen Colonel Gaddafi’s security forces open fire on peaceful
protesters. They have used heavy weapons on unarmed civilians.
Mercenaries and thugs have been turned loose to attack demonstrators,”
“Through their actions, they have lost the legitimacy to govern. And
the people of Libya have made themselves clear: It is time for Gaddafi
to go — now, without further violence or delay”
-Secretary Of State Hillary R. Clinton, U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.
“We do not in any way rule out the use of military assets” to deal with Gaddafi’s regime.”
- British Prime Minister David Cameron
The bottom line is: the US is going to resort to military action in
Libya. The size and scope of the operations is yet to be determined.
You only have to look at the building up of assets in the region to
realize that the Hammer is being loaded right now.
If Gaddafi isn’t careful, the Hammer is going to fall on his head.
The US Marines have been to Tripoli before and they will most likely be
returning again soon. May Allah have mercy on Gaddafi soul; because the
US Marines won’t.
The Marines are coming…
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job –
The United States Marines.
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

"...shields...banks..." it's starting to become more well known
Over at the Oscars best documentary winner Charles Ferguson notes nobody has served jail time for financial meltdown three years after massive fraud. So send in the cops but at the moment they're going the wrong way.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/inside-job-best-documentary-oscar-winner-note...
Inside job, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, Inside job traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.
Yes, of course you can watch the trailer on YouTube, a plethora of stars Bare Sterns, Gold in sacks, Doctor Doom Roubini, Break the bank Soros, sue them Stiglitz, Tett of FT "there's nothing we can believe in anymore". There's even a guy called Matt Damon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzrBurlJUNk
My Dad was in the Atlantic Fleet, he joined the Navy in 1938, he served on a couple of ships there, then later was in the Pacific on a destroyer. While on a battleship [I think it was the USS New York] before the war started he told me they rammed and sunk a German U-Boat off the US eastern coast in international waters. He said the sub surfaced, and then they rammed it and sunk it. They picked up no survivors.
The take away is that the military industrial complex wields huge political clout and this is not going to end in a whimper but a huge bang.
A huge bang? Like a big bang? Maybe we can get a new universe out of it! And maybe that universe will have more oil! Ghawar 10,000!
Tyler, is this a paid ad from the USMC and/or their sponsors?
General Butler must be rolling in his grave.
1934:
Leading U.S. financiers and industrialists, to a large extent the same group which is financing the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, organize a coup against President Franklin Roosevelt whose New Deal and failure to fully support Nazism are repugnant to the U.S. ruling class.
Among the conspirators are:
Prescott Bush, grandfather of George W. Bush;
Irenee Dupont ultra right wing industrialist, eugenics proponent and founder of the fascist American Liberty League;
Grayson Murphy, director of Goodyear, Bethlehem Steel and J.P. Morgan banks;
William Doyle, former state commander of the American Legion;
John Davis, former Democratic presidential candidate and lawyer for J.P. Morgan;
Al Smith, former New York governor and co-director of Dupont’s American Liberty League;
John J. Raskob, high ranking Dupont officer and former chairman of the Democratic party;
Robert Clark, multi-millionaire Wall Street banker and stockbroker;
Gerald MacGuire, an associate of Clark’s and former Commander of the Connecticut American Legion.
The coup plotters attempt to recruit U.S. Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, a popular hero, to stage a fascist overthrow of the Roosevelt government.
Butler is offered three million dollars to assemble an army of half a million American Legion members to carry out the coup.
Remington Arms will supply all the weapons needed.
The coup is short-circuited when Butler tells Roosevelt about it. Fearful of arresting and prosecuting the U.S. ruling class for treason, the White House leaks the news to the press, leading to a congressional investigation.
Later in the year, Butler testifies before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee and tells it that the plot called for businessmen and generals to run the country as a fascist state.
Even though the Committee is ultimately able to confirm everything Butler says and he begs them to call the Duponts and Morgans to account, they refuse.
A whitewashed report, carefully omitting the names of the plotters, is issued by the Committee and the story is almost entirely suppressed by U.S. mass media.
That shining beacon of truth, Time Magazine, openly ridicules Butler.
It will be forty years before the long-suppressed full report of the McCormack-Dickstein Committee, complete with the names of the plotters and confirming everything Butler said, is uncovered only to be suppressed once more by the ever-vigilant U.S. mass media.
The U. S. cannot AFFORD a new war nor any escalation of present wars.
Hell, we can't even affor the level of warfare we are presently at!
American FAIL

Here are six charts from USA Inc., a comprehensive (and absorbing) new report by former Morgan Stanley analyst and current Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers partner Mary Meeker that looks at the U.S. federal government (and its financials) as if it were a business, which seem to say one thing:
FAIL.
I've found it funnier and funnier that people keep insisting that the debt on Germany was the cause of WWII and not all the help Germany received from the US in order to rebuild its military and developp new weapons.
In the US fantasy, broken people can arm themselves better and faster than people who are largely funded to spend on weapons.
This is the way it is.
I love your rappels of history and your quotes of great men of literature. Bravo. Brave new world.
"If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines."
This is the killer in the article above...belly button stanza par excellence. The ostrich with his head...only thinks of what other sister ostriches think of his posturing. So eloquent...in its vanity.
Falak, actually you are coming in garbled. The actual wording is:
But note the doubt that both exhibit ;-)
- Ned
Not bad for sleight of hand. But the written word can never be effaced. So there lies my case in the face of your clever deck reshuffling. Good try but bad eyesight.
Really, this is truly like 1920's vintage if not earlier ;-)
[ed. Come to think of it, however, I've never heard it except in a chemically altered state.]
Thanks for this great list. I'm curious: where was the Huxley quote from? I haven't come across it and I have read most of his works.
The Internet attributes the phrase to Brave New World. Google on the first part of the phrase and you'll get many hits.
Libya will just be a practice run............
Who died and made us The Big Decider? I abhor this kind of hubris. And besides, if SHTF here, the Big Boyz would likely sic "mercenaries and thugs" on US protesters, peaceful or not. Really, does anyone believe that they won't have a violent reaction to civil unrest? I can just imagine some foreign prez calling for obummer to step down...
"would likely sic" = have and WILL sic
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Ray-McGovern-Assaulted-Bl-by-Rob-Kall-110217-781.html
Of course have and WILL is correct.
I used to be shocked by what the thugs did to Ray; now I expect it. Sad.
Obamatron has pretty much already lost all Independent voters, why not blow off the Decepticrat/Progressives as well?
Obummer May Benefit From Election Fraud in 2012
Yeah but look at the illegal electronic voting machine vote flipping used by Harry "Dickwad" Reid... down a solid 7% in the polls, wins by 9%... Son of Reid the Registrar of Voters in Las Vegas' county, the most populace in the state...
There were numerous videos by seniors in Nevada voting early documenting the machines flipping votes to Reid.
Then look at Rahm-tard winning by 55% in Chicago...
Demand Paper Ballots, People
There is a reason the Democrats never complained about Die-bold fraud machines and Rove election fraud in Ohio in 2004... They knew they would have their turn for their corporate whore candidates...
Correct, with one small edification: the Democrats didn't merely know they would have their turn at the wheel, they are part of the fraud.
I am Chumbawamba.
is this post a joke? if so...it lacks humor. if it's not a joke...then the author deserves to be bitch slapped and pissed on.
another fucking war? great. just what we need. they'll REALLY love us now won't they? and of course...some fucking idiot will say that we're going in to "bring democracy" to Libya...and millions of All American retards will believe it.
this country is a disgrace.
It's all about oil, my friend. Cheap oil! If they don't get their cheap oil, they'll get nasty. After all these zillions, they will defend that sick "recovery"(-joke).
LOL! A muslim leader invading another muslim nation.
Saudi Arabia.....
They got a revolution scheduled..... I wouldn't get too busy..... Saudi Revolution 20 March 2011They better save their wad for Saudi Arabia...
TPTB need a good crisis to distract people while simultaneously giving Ben cover to print to infinity and beyond. Saudi Arabia falling to the Islamists would be perfect for that, because the talking heads would be able to blame high prices on the "terrorists". Plus it would keep our soldiers tied up forever, so they don't cause "trouble" at home.
one of the muslim secrets is that ALL of the saudi princesses are BIG fans of Liberty.

Dude, dude. I visited your blog. Stop. It sucks. There's nothing there.
I am Chumbawamba.
best post ever AMEN! arabia is testing and trying to size us up. new world chaos is totally right.
http://covert2.wordpress.com
I thought we were best buds with the Saudis?
No wait, that's the Bushies. They learned much from the royal family, too. Like how to break a country and proft from it.
Saudia Arabia is home to Mecca and Medina, both holy sites to the ENTIRE Muslim religion -- got enough bullets to handle 1/5th of the World's population??
Of course not- that's why it's the perfect war to bleed America dry, which is one of the goals of the NWO. Even Afghanistan, Graveyard of Empires, was not enough. They had to also hit us with the two worst presidents ever plus the biggest scam ever plus the worst public schools plus the most insipid media plus subsidized corn syrup plus...
This is revenge for all those times America interfered with their plans for world domination, starting with rebelling against the Rothschild-controlled Bank of England and, most recently, for inventing the Internet. Now that the oligarchic hive mind has us in its tentacles, it intends to destroy us completely (while making a nice profit, of course).
You nail on the head hit it. Whenever you dig deep, in the end, you hit Rothschild.
Seems so.

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class thug for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents"

Thanks for introducing me to General Smedley Butler.
Real American Hero.
Not really. Just someone who, in the end, developed a semblance of a conscience.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.(War is a Racket = must read)
ah the old brainwashing mantras.
its amazing just how easily otherwise intelligent people can be turned into willing cannon fodder with a few little ditties that make them feel "special"
The unpatriotic edition:
From the halls of countless brothels
From sea to shining sea
We service the pole of our masters
In the ass, the mouth, and where we pee
We are always shaved with legs aspread
And we keep our vaginas clean
We are proud to be paid prostitutes
The United States Marines.
Fuck your military.
I am Chumbawamba.
+infinity
doggings: generally, the idea is to turn the other guy into cannon fodder. And, no, it isn't the ditties that make them special.
- Ned
yes I realise that, and having been in the UK "Royal" version for a while have a better understanding than most.
but take it from me the controllers don't care if you personally live or die, you are just an expendable fodder number.
well understood (and I did work once in the Cannon Fodder Production Dept.).
and you know that it ain't the cute ditties.
- Ned
well actually having heard some of the USMC basic training tapes (Instructors used to play them occasionally when things were rough to cheer us up) .. i'm not so sure.. ;)
Homo sapiens sapiens, the story-telling species. We got a space between our ears that needs to be filled and requres a flag to march under to demonstrate that it's "the truth."
+ Class. The guys with any conscience never get quoted in the msm.
I lived in Honduras in the 1980's and it seemed the worst thing they could call someone was a 'Gringo Marino' meaing gringo Marine. They left a bad taste behind them.
Oh, and New World Chaos...
