Too late.  The kids already understand.

 

 

DRONE ATTACK
Age 10+

Fuck us.

 

 

 

Between 1,990 and 3,308 people are reported to have been killed in
the drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004, the vast majority of them
during the Obama terms. In the 12-month period up to 2011, 43 out of 95
drone strikes were not aimed at al-Qaeda at all. And 265 out of 482
people killed in those assassinations, were defined internally as
"extremists". Indeed, only six of the men killed - less than two percent
- were senior al-Qaeda leaders. 178 children have been killed.

 

As President Obama says, if we save just one child it will all be worth it.

 

...a
girl who was burned beyond recognition by a U.S. drone and left for
dead in a trashcan is about to undergo reconstructive surgery.

Ah, yes.  we're bad guys b/c we blow them up with drones.

But, they aren't responsible at all for paying families $30 grand to strap bombs to their kids and send them into "enemy" territority to blow themselves up.

Blind alligience in the face of reality is abject stupidity.  You make a great pawn for those that wish to manipulate you.

The sixth of November will be the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Mesopotamian campaign during WWI, which concluded 15 days after the armistice of Mudros with British general Cobbe occupying unopposed the oil-rich Viyalet of Mosul.  The West has been fighting ever since to retain access to the region, and will continue to do so until those resources are depleted.

And this is where history (re-writing, specifically) comes in handy.

Say you conquer a nation, but now need to make your own populace more 'accepting' of the conquered people, for example.

Or where a treaty was signed, but not honored (because you were able to build fortifications and raise an army in the mean time), you need to make the other guys look like the ones who broke the treaty.

Its called self fulfilling prophecy. 

It was the basis of the Neocon Bible : "Clash of Civilizations and NWO"  by Huntington. 

When the future enemy does not exist, you do everything in your power to create him in order to defeat him. It has been a well documented strategy all throughout History like that used by the Conquistadors in Aztec and Inca lands. "They are savages without souls!"...No regrets when we kill them by droves ! 

Its a perpetual machine like Crusades and Jihad for the predator empire.

For people in that mindset there will always be "enemies" : those who are not like us.

Tolerance is weakness, intolerance is strength.

Huntington proclaimed in his "bible" that as the cold war was over and nation states with ideological differences no longer existed as "the enemy", it was necessary to define a new enemy who would have to be created to serve that purpose : " the rogue state ".

Welcome to the birth of the Al-Qaeda nebulous.

@himaroid, I just happen to have a good friend who retired from McDonald Douglas, and he was involved in the production of the Tomahawk missles, I asked him about the silver rumor, answer - there is no silver in the Tomahawk missle except maybe the solder joints., less than 10 grams.

The electronics, ie. components on PCBs, connectors etc. use tin/lead solder as standard. The casing joints aren't precious/semi-precious metals in missiles, like in jewelery. There'd be precious metals used in the semi-conductors and connectors (gold and gold-plated).

But he was a good friend when Iraq was at war with Iran. The government back then didn't care much that Sadam Hussein gassed the Kurds in his country. Please don't tell me that the US invaded Iraq because of WMD and/or oppressing his own population. No Iraq invasion in 2003 = no ISIS now. But perhaps that was the plan anyway. You know, redrawing the map of the ME and such.

I created an animated map many moons ago showing pipeline(s) versus deaths.

It's quite easy to understand the true agenda for invasion...just follow the foot-print of deaths and they form a pattern where the pipelines are built.

So if we start to get a cluster of deaths in Syria, you can bet that's where they're supporting contractors to dig the pipelines.

The world has a big problem. The government of the USA is now unconstrained. It can print consent by printing the universal medium of exchange, the dollar. It does not need the consent of American citizens to carry out the plans made in Washington DC behind closed doors.

The failure of the dollar will be a painful thing. It will cause hardship and many tears will flow. The sooner it comes the better off the world will be. The USA has a proud history of doing good in the world. It fought WW2 because it was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately we now have a government that does not seek consensus. It does not need to because it does not derive power from the combined will and tax dollars of its citizens.It is using the small brain power of the few rather than the enormous power of the collective constructive will of the people.

If the world is to achieve a peaceful prosperous future this must end.

The signs of change are everywhere. Many other countries, allies and competitors alike are moving away from this degenerated currency. When the tears stop and we reach a new equilibrium we will all see that we are better off and the current insanity will be clear for all to see.

Until that dreaded day we must put up with the few who control our monetary system and hope that sanity prevails. Surely there are a few with good will and good sense.

What's going on? 

 

Multiple things - certainly some things which few or none of us are aware, but the single biggest thing going on?

 

The Oded Yinon plan.  Sometimes seen in isolation, it is in fact the grandfacther of PNAC's "new pearl harbor" paper.  The influence and power of the Israel Firster neocons can hardly be over-stated.  They were able to set up a lie factory, in the pentagon, staffed mostly by Jewish Zionists with ties to Israel, in order to basically fabricate evidence.

 

The OSP was created to make an end run around the agency.  Similarly, US intelligence has said, repeatedly, that Iran is not working on a nuke, and apart from a few experiments never converted from paper to real world over a decade ago, basically never worked on one.  Moreoever, Netanyahu is on record claiming Iran was "months away" for 20 years...

Yet the average American thinks Iran is "working on a nuclear bomb".   How can they not know Bibi has cried wolf for 20 years, or that he himself was implicated in a nuclear smuggling ring?

Zionist power.

 

Oversttated at times, smeared as "anti-Semitism" at most others (though broadly speaking it is "Christian" Zionists who provie the votes to match Jewish $$)- the neocon think tanks, the Kagans and Nulands are embedded like ticks in the American Deep State.  And international Zionism is a kind of transnational government working for the interests of Israel's absurd, fascist government.

 

The Lie Factory | Mother Jones “The machiavelian threefold game of the neoconservatives ... The Unfolding of Yinon's “Zionist Plan for the Middle East ...

 

 

 

So yes - the MIC, private central banking and the petrodollar {though the dollar is dying no matter what, and spending $3 trillion to prop it up in Iraq doesn't make much sense, nor does not making sure oil is cheaper post war - no, it was for Israel} play a role, and Sunni-Shia tribalism and extremist infighting play a huge role  [this isn't all religious - much or most is really ethnic/tribal using religion as a label of convenience]....

But as to US/UK/Israeli involvement - it is about the need for Israel to expand its territory by weaking and killing its neighbors.

 

This will get some downvotes, of course - Again, the tick-tock of the tired clock that pronounces every hour on the hour that those that criticize the most dominant and malevolent force in the region are biased. But the "Jewishness" of Israel is actually entirely beside the point.  It is a colonialist, racist, apartheid, nuclear rogue state which always paints its aggression as defense.  Its government is batshit crazy, and Zionism has in large part hijacked a Jewish identity that was always fairly xenophobic anyway.

 

I don't know what the answer is - but reducing the power and influence of the Israeli/Jewish lobbies in the US, UK, Canada, France, Australia and elsewhere might put pressure on the Israeli government to feel less free to commit war crimes and atrocities on a weekly basis.

 

Clearly, Israel has zero intention of doing anything but Judaizing land lived upon by Arabs for 1400+ years, and by the ancestors of Palestinians for perhaps thousands of years  [Some Pals came from Egypt and Syria in the past 120 years, but not most, and it would be expected that the most direct descendents of ancient inhabitants are the Arab Palestinians and small Mizrahi Jewish contingent - certainly not the Ashkenazi].

But it won't stop at the WB and Gaza and Golan.  And it's not all about military threat - Iran is an economic threat as to medical technology and gas, inter alia.

 

But without Jewish/Zionist influence on the US, the US would find working and trading with Iran to be of obvious benefit.

The Middle East needs a proper education.  Old habits die hard.  The ongoing Islamic reformation will deliver a Modern Middle East, away from it's bondage to past practises and archaic ideals.

ISIS, ISIL, ISI are all secretions of purified islamic thought that have no place in the modern world.  If proper muslims are not prepared to transform their ideology into something that is sustainable with other people's beliefs, they will continue to get beat about the head (allah Whack-A-Mole).

Sums up nicely how "they" are presenting it.   This narrative is, on purpose, supposed to be confusing to the public.  That way you can't pick a side.  Look at the IMF, EU and the central banking system.   That will give you the true reason we have invaded, and toppled governments.   Ever wonder why you don't hear a lot about the IMF and EU on mainstream media, its because that what "they" don't want you to ask questions about.  Because that will take you to the truth.

I remember when JFK, a war hero, died.  Americans and Candians were in tears.  Politics aside, he was a man who was loved.

I don't think if Obama ever goes down, people will react the same.

I understand the Qatari gas angle, but respectfully disagree with the apparent consensus here that the US is medddling in Syria to benefit Qatar.  It's to prevent an Iranian pipeline, weaken Russia abroad, and to implement the Oded Yinon plan.  Having lots of well armed groups fighting is not conducive to building a pipeline but for preventing one...  who would invest in a pipeline running through both Iraq and Syria?  Why would Israel, looking to move Leviathan gas, want competitition?  Etc.  Those are my basic points, but I'm in the minority here and that's fine.  But please consider the relative power and influence of Israel versus Qatar in the .gov, consider Leviathan, consider where you'd invest in building a pipeline/warzone, and consider that having a conspiracy theory involving Arab Muslims is potentially a great cover for a rationale involving Israeli gas and the Oded Yinon plan.

 

Okay, end of rant - but I try not to exclude the middle.  Qatar is deeply involved, of course, and would be expected to get some benefit.  As it happens, the Israelis and Qataris were kicking around a potential nat gas deal 20 years ago....  came across this:

 

ISRAEL SEEKS DEAL WITH QATAR ON GAS

 

Iran doesn't actually threaten Israel or Qatar militarily, but economically....

Am never confused by the Middle East.  

1) oil, they have it we cannot function in the world without it. Coronary number one that reality:  If Canada, Venezuela, and the other suppliers of our fossil fuels had the various tribes fighting amongst themselves to grab as much of those old rotted dates, camels, dinosaurs, and other carbon based life forms that turned into, basically, black animal fat, the same kind of shenanigans would be happening in those countries as well.

2)  Ireal-  the jews have managed to usurp however they did it, (and you can bet it was done thru an ongoing Conspiracy) all the air in the room.

3) Amnesia or specifially the absence of it

4) U.S military outposts in every conceivable place on earth to enrich defense contractors so they can cycle back the money to politicians whose hearts, eyes, and tongues are as black as Sweet Texas tea.

All else aside - and regardless of your particular views, etc. - isn't it amazing how ISIS seemed to come out of nowhere, and be strong enough to threaten Baghdad - and for the most part, the American people and the American media just accepted that such forces can arise virtually overnight.  I think people should read Hucley along with their Orwell - but this is classic Orwellian conditioning [if you will].

the middle [me] east was in good shape after the 1st WW and remained so until after the 2nd WW. it all started in 1948-49 with israel's war of independence?   http://archive.adl.org/israel/record/48war.htm

the egyptians and all of the me had hoped that the jews would stay put in europe, seeing that hitler was gone and the US, france, britain, and NATO country's would protect them. it turned out that every jew in the world wanted back in israel... and that meant expansionism?

now lets talk about iraq, syria, and kuwait. from the mid 30's til the early [late 50's?] 60's things were manageable. progress was being made on all fronts... infrastructure, education, health, industry, etc.. oil revenues were greatly helping the country out of backwardness into the modern 20th century.

saudi arabia, iraq[syria?], jordan, and yemen were all part of the 'house of hashim'.     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashemites           ,but along can Nasser of egypt, partnering with syria playing russia off the ussa. don't do stupid stuff?!?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Republic   (1958-61), but what makes matters worse is a brief Arab Federation ~ 6months with iraq and jordan (1958*)  pissing off everyone in the me!

i'd like to focus on iraq's supreme monarchial rulers/kings from faisal I {[1885-1933]*[died of a msterious heart attack in switzerland?]}, Ghazi I {[1912-39]*[committed suicide?]}, faisal II {[1935-58]* [the july 14, 1959 al-Zuhoor palace massacre]} note: the young only son took his assension to the throne at 18yrs old, and reigned for several years until killed in a violent coup called the palace massacre of al-Zuhoor!          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14_July_Revolution    

so there are your puupet leaders from the british to the ussa all meeting horrible unexpected deaths?

next we have iraqi military taking the helm.   

brigadier gen. abdul-karim qassem {[1914-63]*[killed by saddam who was a Ba`athist along with syrian?underground?regime. whereas, Qassem was pro-communist]}

abdul salam arif [1921-66] who died in a hellicopter convoy mysteriously?

but, his brother gen. abdul rahman arib [1918-?] also ended up on the short end of the stick.

this last guy was in and out of iraqi politics forever throughout its origins... his name is ahmed hasan al-bakr {[1914-1982]* [stepped-down because of bad health and if not, saddsm would have killed him anyway?]}

lastly, the late great saddam hussein {[1937-2006]* [hanged by the maliki government!]}

http://www.almanachdegotha.org/id253.html

http://arabic-media.com/Iq_rulers.htm    

"Iraq's Heads of State: 1921-present"

with iraq and syria now in the [iran/turkey/lebanon and even eqypt] news and with the gulf cooperative council [gcc] countries all backing saudi [sa] arabia in the is fight, one must remember that algeria and libya are now in the mix, and with winter around the corner and the flood [sirocco season blowin a new wells`spring in?] from oct-dec in the assyria 'mosul, nineveh/nimrud nuclei, bordering the jazira dessert touching upon the humongous northern dessert all the way home to the gigantic`southern dessert splitting tides with kuwaits` sa? it would be ironic if isis/isil/is liberates the infidel saudi's?

About those pipeline stories ...

"Can't we all just get along?"  (-- R. King, Los Angeles, CA)

Yeah, I get it. Somebody building a pipeline wants to goose their investment by being the only game in town.

But. Don't these geniuses understand the concept of TIT FOR TAT: If you blow up my pipeline, I can blow up your pipeline?

Markets and capital investments REQUIRE stability, harmony and security.

Terrorism, war, chaos and bombing is LOSE-LOSE for ALL pipelines.

Peace, stability, and harmony  is WIN-WIN for ALL pipelines.

If you want to make money off of your pipeline, you have to accept that the other guy must be allowed to make money off of his pipeline.

Has Hillary Clinton or John Kerry ever explained this to anyone in the Middle East?

Agree.

The fabled Qatari pipeline is nothing more than 'specprop' to get the rank and file Europeans, whose countries depend on gas and who would benefit from such a pipeline, to support Obama and the 'moderate' Syrian revolutionaries in their quest to rid the ME of Assad..

As for Syria, it was always about weakening Russia.  Even before Snowden and Ukraine.  No one mentions Tartus anymore.

The neocons in the state dept and the Pentagon control the White House. And our Great Half-White Hope bought the used car that they were selling.
