Obama escalates in Afghanistan

by Project Mayhem

Nobel 'Peace' Prize winner Obama escalates war in Afghanistan in act of Orwellian tragedy.

Within the first several minutes of the speech , Obama , brow furrowed, aggressive and serious, was working the crowd over with frightening words like 'slaughter' , 'terror' , 'Taleban' , 'ruthless' , 'ravaged' and so on. The West Point cadets sit uncomfortably as our heroic Nobel Peace Prize winner comes out sounding far more like a Roman military commander than like compassionate and liberal sitting President.  To be honest the whole process was disgusting and I will not dwell on it further, other than the fact there was no mention of this.  But as we all know, truth is the first casualty in war.

In terms of the political implications of this event, it is obvious we are witnessing an a serious and long-term escalation in Afghanistan by yet another President obsessed by war and acting on behalf of banks and defense contractors. But here, by 'Afghanistan', we implicitly mean Pakistan, which must necessarily enter chaos in order to meet the political objectives of Kissinger, Brzezinski, and others.  So when you hear Afghanistan, think Pakistan.

Pakistan is now ravaged by CIA Predator drone attacks and in is on the brink of civil war in the Pashtun regions.  But civil war appears this was precisely the political objectives of those operating behind the scenes in the Western political establishment -- to include the CFR and Trilateral Commission.  We have known for some time that Brzezinski has favored fracturing Afghanistan-Pakistan into a series of micro-states.  There are four major political objectives here, which you will not hear discussed outside of closed doors.

1)
Protection of the Afghan drug trade

 

2) Control of Eurasian Oil supplies and pipeline routes

3) Fomentation of a longer-term conflict with Russia and China


Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.  He definitely knows Judo..


SCO summit in Russia - June 16, 2009


The former head of Pakistani ISI from 1987 to 1989 -- Lt. Gen. Hamid
Gul (on far left in above picture)-- has made the claim that the newly
created Afghan Intelligence Agency 'RAMA' has the officially-sanctioned
purpose of destabilizing neighboring Pakistan.   A bold claim indeed.

4) Access to the strategic Pakistani deep-water ports


Pakistani deep-water port.   US wants it.  China wants it.


Deep-water ports -- strategically important.

The troop levels in Afghanistan now rival the levels when Russia was lost amongst its' quagmire 30 years ago.  Pakistan is now in play.  All that is required is a Gulf of Tonkin incident.

The purpose of more warfare across the world is one fold - to weaken the populous at home by removing anyone that can fight.

Open your eyes people, this has to do with money and control, not anything whatsoever with the common man except weakening him and his family.

First his money, then his life -- wake up fools.

Finally, someone gets it!

[Offensive] Wars are for one of two things, often encompasing both:

1) Acquire resources;

2) Control dissent within one's country.

Power is being challenged.  It is fighting back, but eventually it will lose as it ends up using more and more energy being destructive than constructive.

As things go today there's a loss in the constructuve material (due to resource depletion, escalating costs).  This has to be offset by the destructive, though this sets up a negative downward spiral, which not only places the common person in peril, but also the powers themselves.

A comment on the Bush/Obama doctrine. No one seems to see how these policies can be dangerous to us.
Mexico has problems with drug cartels with US weapons. They are within their right to now bomb US based ammunition and weapon manufacturing plants.
Any US citizen (military, CIA or otherwise) captured can be sent to any country and tortured for information (just like our black prisons).
By our rules and definitions - 9/11 can be classified as a defensive first strike.

China already has a port on the Indian Ocean, in Burma. In addition, they are constructing two pipelines from the Arakan (Rakhine) coast in Burma to Kunming. One pipeline will carry natural gas, recovered from Burma's massive offshore deposits, and exploited by a host of firms from China, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea and Australia, many using platforms on lease from the US firm Transocean (so much for the effectiveness of sanctions when one is politically connected in Washington). The second pipeline will carry crude oil shipped from the Middle East, saving China the dangerous trip through the pirate infested waters of the Straits of Malacca. (A gas pipeline operated by the French firm Total and the US firm Chevron currently carries gas from Burma to Thailand, and is responsible for 25% of the junta's revenues. When the Burma Sanctions Bill hit Congress' floor, effective lobbying removed Chevron from any possible repercussions and economic loss. Such is the moral high ground the US claims to occupy.)

Just to show that not all shenanigans are the monopoly of Western Powers, one of the prime contractors in the port/pipeline is a company called Asia World, whose owner is Lo Hsing Han, a Kokang Chinese and the so-called King of Opium, Southeast Asia's top druglord. Day to day operations are run by his Harvard Business School educated son, Steven Law, who is married to a woman from one of Singapore's top families. Singapore may execute the occasional Filipina maid or Vietnamese bargirl for possessing a gram or two of heroin, but when the rich druglords hit town, the Singapore Government rolls out the red carpet. As a humorous aside, much of the Burmese junta's ill-gotten gains, as well the monies of the druglords, flows from Singapore banks to Temasek, who was a major investor in the ill-timed Merrill Lynch bailout.

To say the least, Bentham is unprofessional, and highly questionable as a source.

Bentham is not a member of OASPA. (Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association).
They are better known for spamming researchers than publishing scholarly scientific research.
The editor-in-chief resigned because this particular paper was published without her knowledge or approval.

They seem to publish virtually anything submitted, including “C.R.A.P.” (Center for Research in Applied Phrenology), as long as the fee is paid. This (2009) case alone proves that the claim by The Open Information Science Journal (TOISCIJ) to “enforce peer-review” is a lie.
http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2009/06/10/nonsense-for-dollars/

The author was told that this obvious bunk had been peer-reviewed, and was instructed to “pay US$800, to be sent to a post office box in the SAIF Zone, a tax-free complex in the United Arab Emirates.”

This is not an isolate incident:

BO is not a leader. If you decide to fight a war, if you decide it is in our vital interest, if you say we will have resolve, but don't use overwhelming force, don't have any real plan for victory, and tell everyone we will retreat in 18 months, well then you are a political pandering moron - our President.

And the MSM just soaks it up without any serious questions - as does the majority of the general public who remains focused on whether they can get that big screen TV or not, while others are forced to provide them health care.

i am sorry that our men and women are over there fighting. but let us not forget. they volunteered for this. no one made them go. also one must remember that if anyone invaded this country and did the things to us that we are doing to them, would you too, not fight and die for your country and make their stay most "hospitable".....? some of you may hate me for saying this. but it is a contrarian point of view. i support the freedom fighters of iraq and afghanistan against the invading enemies of their countries even though those illegal invaders are my own people. how can we as thinking americans do anything less? liberty and freedom is what they want. is that such a bad thing? they want the american boot off of their necks. so may God help them to remove it in whatever means they find necessary.

At best, this post is poorly presented. There is no evidence offered to prove or even suggest that the Obama administration is truly motivated by the four political objectives. The reader is left to draw their own conclusion on the basis of the own presuppositions and the rhetoric of the author.

You may very well be right - but until you offer actual evidence I can only admire how pretty your words and pictures are. You might as well have said, "President Obama really likes the shape that Afghanistan and Pakistan would make if they were one country instead of two. Therefore he is increasing US military strength in the region to conquer those countries so that maps in the future will show Afghapakimerica, his new favorite shape!"

PM,

So, all the logic is in place for a first strike. Bases on every continent, good coverage overall. Eventually the world will turn on the US, so we need to defend ourselves to preserve freedom for all. All we need is someone with some small German subs and we should be good to go in a couple of years. Then we can continue our mandate of promoting freedom and democracy for all.

Project Mayhem...always find your pieces enlightening and thank you for the efforts.

as i have stated, i have always thought that one of the biggest fears for the current admin is that the tali/al q crew would get themselves one or two of them thar Paki nukes.  naturally, Obama confirmed that last nite and we will soon be on Paki soil.

I would be curious to see what people think or if there is any research out there that assesses the odds of one or two Paki nukes being obtained?  any thoughts?

I think a loose nuke is pretty high up the list of potential Gulf of Tonkin incidents.  I was discussing exactly this yesterday, as we'd need a good pretext to go into Pakistan...

 

Pretexts to go into Pakistan--

 

1) Civil war / government collapse

2) Loose nuke

3) Kashmir

4) Hostages

 

There are probably plenty of others

His speech was retarded.  But since when did Zero Hedge start flirting with moronic 9/11 conspiracy theories?  The little article was hillarious.  It drew quite a conclusion from the presence of mysterious "red chips" in the 9/11 debris.  It admits that were that exotic chemical "iron oxide" and some were "aluminium."  Holy shit, that's called rust and other stuff we'd expect when a huge building is toppled by Islamic crazy guys with beards and shorted AA stock.

Instead of standard thermite, or even 'rust and aluminum' as you put it, what the Harrit team found was highly ordered dual layers of iron oxide /aluminum at the micrometer level  (nanotechnology).  The remarkable chips were highly reaction with an ignition temp that was half that of the theoretical Fe2O3/Al reaction activation energy .   This was apparently due to the construction of the thermitic chips which had highly-ordered sub-micrometer structure. The issue was the fact that this was a military-grade incendiary, which remains unexplained.

The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." 4

Check out this video of an incredibly creepy masonic ritual at ground zero on the one year anniversary creating the eye of horus (also called the eye of lucifer).  The twin towers represented the two pillars of freemasonry, Boaz and Jachin, which represent good and evil. 

They were destroyed on the 11th anniversary to the day that GB Senior announced the masonic New World Order (Sept 11, 1990).  The masons are big into the ancient mystery religions including numerology (hence the significance with dates and reoccuring numbers).  They idolize Jacques DeMolay, a templar executed for heresy and rumored to have worshipped lucifer.  The templars were the first to come up with the original concept of banking and became extremely wealthy.  There is a reason they are a secret society.

None of the above. I think the surge has to do with (nuclear) Pakistan and it's success may depend on Pakistan.

Fate of Afghanistan surge 'lies in Pakistan'

Diplomats believe the fate of President Barack Obama's new "surge" in Afghanistan may be sealed in Pakistan.

The Obama administration was reported to be planning in influx of CIA operatives and an intensified campaign of missile attacks from Predator drones after Pakistan's failure to so far rein in militant attacks launched across the Afghan border and increasing concern about the security of its nuclear arsenal.

Hi PM-

In addition to Pakistan you didn't mention Iran, as we are amassing troops in the two countries on both sides of Iran.  Obama was probably sold this on the value of "an option" - for Iran or Pakistan, definitely war footing.

If it is Pakistan, an interesting news blurb wanted to link the Ft. Hood shooter to Pakistan and that he may have communicated with someone in Pakistan (possibly a trigger once the investigation is completed and the report is released).

How about if the idea is not to "win" in the traditional sense of "owning the ground", but merely to destroy so much infrastructure and cause such widespread suffering that the invaded country's government is forced to go to the IMF to borrow money to rebuild bombed hospitals, drinking water facilities, and roads. Through the IMF, the bankers enslave the country (the way bankers always enslave countries) by forcing it to "democratize" its government by allowing "campaign funding" of candidates by bankers. The resulting "duly" elected government then institutes "austerity programs" which enslave all the working people in the country. Again, to accomplish this, you don't have to "win"; all you have to do is "destroy enough stuff".
