False Flags For Beginners

False flag terrorism is a pretext for elites to restrict freedom, justify wars and impose ever greater surveillance. It is our moral and civic responsibility to always remain on guard for the next false flag. In the run up to the anniversary of 9/11 we remember the victims of false flag operations with this article originally printed by Infowars

False flag attacks occur when government engages in covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations seem as if they are being carried out by other entities.

False flag terrorism is a favorite political tactic used by governments worldwide. They influence elections, guide national and international policy, and are cynically used to formulate propaganda and shape public opinion as nations go to war.

Nero and the Great Fire of Rome

The Roman consul and historianCassius Dio, his contemporary Suetonius and others say the Emperor Nero was responsible for the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD.

Legend claims Nero had one-third of the city torched as an excuse to build Domus Aurea, a 300 acre palatial complex that included a towering statue of himself, the Colossus of Nero.

Prior to the fire, the Roman Senate had rejected the emperor’s bid to level a third of the city to make way for a “Neropolis,” an urban renewal project.

The Roman historian Tacitus wrote that when the population of Rome held Nero responsible for the fire, he shifted blame on the Christians for “hating the human race” and starting the fire.

The Spanish American War: Remember the Maine

By the late 1800s, the United States was looking for an excuse to kick Spain out of Cuba. U.S. business was heavily invested in sugar, tobacco and iron on the Caribbean island.

The U.S.S. Maine was sent to Havana in January of 1898 to protect these business interests after a local insurrection broke out. Three weeks later, early on the morning of February 15, anexplosion destroyed the forward third of the ship anchored in Havana’s harbor, killing more than 270 American sailors.

President McKinley blamed Spain after the U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry declared that a naval mine caused the explosion.

American newspapers blamed the Spanish despite a lack of evidence. “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war,” newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst told Frederic Remington after the illustrator reported that the situation in Cuba did not warrant invasion.

A number of historians and researchers later argued that the ship was blown up by the United States to provide a false flag pretext to invade Cuba and expel Spain.

The United States occupied Cuba from 1898 until 1902, although an amendment to a joint resolution of Congress forbid the U.S. to annex the country.

Wilson’s Pretext for War: The Sinking of the Lusitania

Nearly two thousand travelers, including one hundred Americans, were killed on May 7, 1915, when a German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Lusitania, a luxury Cunard Line British ocean liner.

Prior to the sinking, the German embassy in Washington issued a warning. Newspapers in the United States refused to print the warning or acknowledge the German claim that the ship carried munitions.

Wilson’s government issued a flurry of diplomatic protests after the sinking and exploited the tragedy two years later as a pretext for America to enter the First World War.

Nearly a hundred years later, in 2008, divers discovered the Lusitania carried more than four million rounds of rifle ammunition.

“There were literally tons and tons of stuff stored in unrefrigerated cargo holds that were dubiously marked cheese, butter and oysters,” Gregg Bemis, an American businessman who owns the rights to the wreck and is funding its exploration, told The Daily Mail.

Hitler’s Fascist Dictatorship: The Reichstag Fire

In February of 1933, a month after convincing Germany’s president that parliament must be eliminated, Hitler and the Nazis instigated theReichstag fire.

Hitler then urged president Hindenburg to issue an emergency decree restricting personal liberty, including the right to free expression and a free press, limitations on the rights of association and assembly, warrantless searches of homes, property confiscation, and violations of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications “permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”

The Nazis used the decree and cracked down on their political opponents . They worked behind the scenes to force through the Enabling Act, which legally allowed Hitler to obtain plenary powers and establish a dictatorship.

Gestapo Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring would admit that “the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”

Prelude to World War: The Gleiwitz Incident

Six years after the Reichstag Fire, the Nazis staged the Gleiwitz incident. Nazi commandos raided a German radio station in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, Germany. The raid was part of Operation Himmler, a series of operations undertaken by the SS as Hitler set the stage for the invasion of Poland and the start of the Second World War.

SS operatives dressed in Polish uniforms attacked the radio station, broadcast an anti-German message in Polish, and left behind the body of a German Silesian known for sympathizing with the Poles. The corpse was then offered to the press as evidence that the Poles had attacked the radio station.

Israeli False Flag Terror: The Lavon Affair

In 1954, the Israelis activated a terrorist cell in response to the United States making friends with the Egyptian government and its pan-Arab leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Israelis were worried Nasser would nationalize the Suez Canal and continue Egypt’s blockade of Israeli shipping through the canal.

Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion decided a false flag terrorist attack on American interests in Egypt would sour the new relationship. He recruited and dispatched a terror cell that pretended to be Egyptian terrorists.

The plan, however, contained a fatal flaw. Israel’s top secret cell, Unit 131, was infiltrated by Egyptian intelligence. After a member of the cell was arrested and interrogated, he revealed the plot and this led to more arrests. Israeli agents were subjected to a public trial revealing details of the plan to firebomb the U.S. Information Agency’s libraries, a British-owned Metro-Goldwyn Mayer theatre, a railway terminal, the central post office, and other targets.

In order to deflect blame, the Israeli government tried to frame its own Defense Minister, Pinhas Lavon, but the true nature of the plot was eventually made public.

Operation Northwoods: Targeting American Citizens

In the covert war against the communist regime in Cuba under the CIA’s Operation Mongoose, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff unanimously proposed state-sponsored acts of terrorism in side the United States.

The plan included shooting down hijacked American airplanes, the sinking of U.S. ships, and the shooting of Americans on the streets of Washington, D.C. The outrageous plan even included a staged NASA disaster that would claim the life of astronaut John Glenn.

Reeling under the embarrassing failure of the CIA’s botched Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, president Kennedy rejected the plan in March of 1962. A few months later, Kennedy denied the plan’s author, General Lyman Lemnitzer, a second term as the nation’s highest ranking military officer.

In November of 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

Gulf of Tonkin: Phantom Attack on the U.S, Military

On August 4, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson went on national television and told the nation that North Vietnam had attacked U.S. ships.

“Repeated acts of violence against the armed forces of the United States must be met not only with alert defense, but with a positive reply. That reply is being given as I speak tonight,” Johnson declared.

Congress soon passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which provided Johnson with pre-approved authority to conduct military operations against North Vietnam. By 1969, over 500,000 troops were fighting in Southeast Asia.

Johnson and his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, had bamboozled Congress and the American people. In fact, North Vietnam had not attacked the USS Maddox, as the Pentagon claimed, and the “unequivocal proof” of an “unprovoked” second attack against the U.S. warship was a ruse.

Operation Gladio: State Sponsored Terror Blamed on the Left

Following the Second World War, the CIA and Britain’s MI6 collaborated through NATO onOperation Gladio, an effort to create a “stay behind army” to fight communism in the event of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.

Gladio quickly transcended its original mission and became a covert terror network consisting of rightwing militias, organized crime elements, agents provocateurs and secret military units. The so-called stay behind armies were active in France, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and Switzerland.

Gladio’s “Strategy of Tension” was designed to portray leftist political groups in Europe as terrorists and frighten the populace into voting for authoritarian governments. In order to carry out this goal, Gladio operatives conducted a number of deadly terrorists attacks that were blamed on leftists and Marxists.

In August of 1980, Gladio operatives bombed a train station in Bologna, killing 85 people. Initially blamed on the Red Brigades, it was later discovered that fascist elements within the Italian secret police and Licio Gelli, the head of the P2 Masonic Lodge, were responsible for the terror attack. Other fascist groups, including Avanguardia Nazionale and Ordine Nuovo, were mobilized and engaged in terror.

Operation Gladio ultimately claimed the lives of hundreds of people across Europe.

According to Vincenzo Vinciguerra, a Gladio terrorist serving a life-sentence for murdering policemen, the reason for Gladio was simple. It was designed “to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security. This is the political logic that lies behind all the massacres and the bombings which remain unpunished, because the state cannot convict itself or declare itself responsible for what happened.”

The Best Enemies Money Can Buy - Wall Street Manipulation of Humanity Through Fake Wars & Fake Ideologues

It gets a harder and harder to ignore the hypothesis that mankind is a social experiment for the global oligarchy when we understand how contrived the wars and ideologies are. This is a classic interview by Professor Antony Sutton, who taught economics at California State University, and was a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.

In this talk, Prof. Sutton delves into his impeccable research on how a close-knit group of Western financiers and industrialists (centred around Morgan and Rockefeller in the US, and around Milner and the City financiers, in the UK) created and sustained their three supposed enemies right from the very beginning: Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and FDR's Fabian socialism.

Particularly, he goes into how Wall Street/City of London financiers used their banking institutions and their industrial enterprises to:

1. Help finance and sustain the Bolshevik Revolution. Build up Soviet industry during Lenin's Five-Year Plans, both through finance, technology/industrial transfers and technical assistance. Continue to build the Soviets throughout the entire Cold War, through the same kinds of deals. This included the Korea and the Vietnam eras, during which American troops were being killed by... Western-made Soviet equipment.

2. Build up Nazi Germany, both financially and industrially;

3. Get FDR into power in America as their man, and even draw up the New Deal policies, especially FDR's National Recovery Act -- designed by Gerard Swopes of General Electric and deeply welcomed by Wall Streeters Morgan, Warburg and Rockefeller.

Sutton was not a wild speculator. He was a distinguished academic researcher who documented his conclusions impeccably in his several works. Not being able to counter his research, the establishment (including academia) first tried to shut him up and now simply attempts to ignore it, and pretend it isn't there.

The purpose for these Wall Street policies was very simple: to create, and globalize, what Sutton calls Corporate Socialism. A system under which everything in society is ruled by the state, and the state is, in its stead, controlled by financiers who, hence, get to rule and manage society, to their liking. In other words, to get society to work for the financiers, using a socialist state as an intermediary.

This is what we now know as the globalization economic model. As a result of all the clashes of the 20th century, most notably WWII and the Cold War (fought between powers that were manipulated and controlled by these banker cliques), the world has been 'globalized'. Meaning that it has been entirely taken over by these financiers, and is ever closer to being completely ruled by them, through not only the national states and national central banking systems, but mainly through supranational agencies and institutions.

Go into Professor Sutton's books, most notably the Hoover Institute's series on Western technological/industrial transfers to the Soviets and the 'Wall Street' trilogy. If you have a difficulty in purchasing the original books, you'll find most of them are easily available online, on pdf form.

Mr. Hoover and I: A film by Emile de Antonio

Punctuated by breadmaking with John Cage and a hair cut from his wife. Powerful commentary on John Edgar Hoover America and so very relevant today.

Emile Francisco de Antonio

Emile Francisco de Antonio (May 14, 1919 -- December 16, 1989) was an American director and producer of documentary films, usually detailing political or social events circa 1960s--1980s. He has been referred to by scholars and critics alike, and arguably remains, "...the most important political filmmaker in the United States during the Cold War."

Emile is quite buttoned down but at the end of the interview he wells up a bit and tells the interviewers he feels he's among friends. He died a couple of weeks later.

de Antonio was born in 1919 in in the coal-mining town of Scranton, Pennsylvania. His father, Emilio de Antonio, an Italian immigrant, fostered the lifelong interests of Antonio by passing on his own love for philosophy, classical literature, history and the arts. Although his intelligence allowed him the privilege of attended Harvard University alongside future-president John F. Kennedy, he was also familiar with the working class experience, making his living at various points in his life as a peddler, a book editor, and the captain of a river barge (among other duties).

After serving in the military during World War II as a bomber pilot, de Antonio returned to the United States where he frequented the art crowd, often associating with such Pop artists as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol, in whose film Drink de Antonio appears. Warhol was famously quoted praising de Antonio with the words, "Everything I learned about painting, I learned from De."

The book Necessary Illusions (1989) by Noam Chomsky and the documentary Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992) by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick are dedicated to Emile de Antonio.

Al Frankovich - On Company Business [A Documentary On The CIA]

Al Frankovich's Heart Attack In George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Texas

Al Frankovich made the Gladio documentary for BBC 2 I posted the other day and I was rewatching this interview with him earlier on his CIA documentary 'On Company Business' when I did a quick search and noticed he died of a heart attack in George Bush Intercontinental Airport of Texas. The irony of this happening to a man whose opening scene in 'On Company Business' is the heart attack gun of the George Bush run CIA revealed at the Church commission is a little too much so I'm posting it while I piece together his body of work. 

The Wikipedia entry for Al has been desecrated if anyone would like to provide information for it please use the comments below and I will rebuild it if I can. He did good work.

Brennan On Yemen At The Council On Foreign Relations

I've been wanting to check out US counter terrorism expert John Brennan for a while and this is the perfect environment as I got the impression he's a bit of a potato and that kind of pressure shows in the pseduo intellectual environment of the CFR.

In a nutshell he's so unsure of why the U.S. is in Yemen killing American citizens that he needs to read a prepared speech that glosses over where the money is going other than drone executions. He reads it too quick and too functionally stumbling over the odd word even though it's chock full of the usual bullshit platitudes such as 'partners with Yemen for success' and so forth.

There's some interesting insights into the Saudi, US axis of drone executions in the middle East relationship but ultimately the U.S. is run by people who haven't figured out that AQAP (Al Qaida) simply turn up wherever the US is. An interesting thought given the home game is falling apart.

In the previous documentary I posted there's more concrete information like Yemen troops shooting at a teenage girls' burial and the near mutiny of Yemen troops due to corruption in the military leadership. When will the US ever learn?

Too much ego to really absorb the lessons everyone else can see.

27 Million Russians Sacrificed in WWII - Cold War Documentary

The more I think it about it the more obvious it becomes to me that the reason the West won the cold war is because we paid better bribes. A better class of massacre if you will. Both ideologies are top down lizard hierarchy structures which just don't pan out for us humans but we'll learn that lesson in due course.

I started watching this series while researching cold war espionage documentaries and the first one is quite good so I'm posting it. I didn't learn too much but it did go into the formation of the United Nations in San Francisco and geopolitical manoeuvring between Stalin, Churchill and FDR.

It ends on that ugly fact. The USSR sacrificed 40 times more of its people than the UK and the U.S. combined in WWII. It's a staggering statistic and one we forget all too quickly.

Wizard Hats, Yemen & FBI Stupids

These golden 'Wizard' hats caught my attention earlier for reasons of hats and Sumerian Annunaki I've heard mentioned from time to time. They're both made from one piece of Gold and are over 3000 years old. This corroborates the information I've come across which is that humanity is a lot more sophisticated and ancient than the Darwinian tale of civilisation that began around 5000 years ago. I don't buy that story and so when I discovered that Yemeni women wear similar hats of straw and that the Sumerian or Queen of Sheba connection is right there on the doorstop it caught my attention. It's also worth pointing out the lunar phase symbolism on the taller hat are a logarithmic table that allow the sun and moon to be calculated in advance. Still believe that savage beast tale the Smithsonian would have you believe about humanity?

From that trail I ended up watching quite a new documentary about Al Qaeda in Yemen which brought me up to date on what is roughly going on there (nothing that the U.S. taxpayer should be blowing up) but what really caught my attention was the interview of the FBI interrogator at the end. Both the FBI and PBS interviewer can't wrap their heads around the idea that the CIA are up to their necks in 9/11 inside jobbing and that the entire interview held under sobering camera close ups is a fucking joke. Get a life boys. CIA are running rings round you peasants. Watch it. They're so close to knowing what happened but so far as they're unable to digest reality. Same applies to most people. Struggling to figure out the increasingly obvious.

Watch Al Qaeda in Yemen and The Interrogator on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

The Finest Drugs & Arms Dealer Of The 20th Century [Part Two]

Pete Brewton's book ties the Bush dynasty into the Savings & Loans scandal. In short Bush knew the banks were lending easily and encouraged his crooked friends to borrow millions and walk away. It is my view that if we forget for a moment the misery and suffering of millions around the world who were on the end of CIA arms-for-drugs gun barrels it's evident to me that George Bush senior is the most qualified criminal I can think of. He pissed over them all. From the Medellin Cartel to Manuel Noriega. 

They weren't in his class for criminal big thinking. It literally takes weeks and months to piece together the scale of corruption.

The Finest Drugs & Arms Dealer of the 20th Century [Part One]

It's quite tedious trawling through the trash videos of Youtube researching the Bush families drug and arms dealing (while in office too) but this latest is exceptional and corroborates a lot of the information that Russ Baker has separately concluded in Family of Secrets. 

I'd never heard of Emile de Antonio before but he's a heavyweight and in this TV series which I've forgotten the name of. I must name check the interviewers at some point for their incredible contribution to exposing the unreported story of the United States. It's clear that Iran Contra was not about the hostages but simply a sideline business that was being conducted long before the Iranians (conveniently) took the hostages through operations such as the Bush run Black Eagles.

When the history of the 20th century is rearranged to look loosely like how it actually happened, George Bush senior will be recognised for what he is. One of the finest criminal minds and the greatest deceivers we have ever known. I was coming to this conclusion when I watched his video denial testimony of the Iran Contra scandal below. There's no question of George Bush seniors criminal calibre. See for yourself. No one comes close.

Kubrick's Odyssey - Secrets Hidden In The Films Of Stanley Kubrick

If there's one reason for watching Jay Weidner's documentary above it's for the explanation of front screen projection used in the Apollo missions staged photography. You can also see it clearly in the photo above along with a typical studio light stand from the period, being used on a set that it's very likely Stanley Kubrick directed. The basis for this claim is also explained in the documentary. 

To this day NASA refuse to take colour photographs of the moon or point a telescope at the Apollo landing positions and show us sceptics the evidence of the landings such as moon buggy and so forth. It's been over 40 years and nobody has ever gone back either. A good thing to do if you don't want people asking awkward questions.

Beyond The Infinite - Kubrick's Odyssey II

An alchemical interpretation of 2001 Space Odyssey by Jay Weidner if indeed there's any other analysis worthwhile.

EX CIA Agent - U.S. Creates Its Own Enemies

Ssshhh. Don't tell anyone. There's a lot of money riding on the CIA meal ticket.

CIA Insider Ray McGovern on The Politics Of Telling Hard Truths

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern spills the beans on the drift of a CIA that no longer knows what the truth, is let alone how to say it. It's important to remember that the CIA had no prior knowledge of the collapse of the Soviet Union as it's in their interest like the Pentagon to be in a perpetual state of conflict. 

By this metric the CIA is just another government parasite with its snout in the security pork barrel.

Ray points out the CIA is so politicized it can't remember what telling hard truths is about and saves particular venom for spineless George Tenet who along with Colin Powell could have averted a needless war with Iraq though as he points out, it's unlikely that it ever even occurred to them. That's what happens when the system promotes people who say what people want to hear instead of what people need to hear.

Interesting to learn that Gates was one of the most voted against CIA director appointments ever.

Most Of Planet Meet For Peace Alternative To Hillary Clinton's Warmongering - Corporate Media Silent

30 nations including China, Indonesia and Russia are meeting in Tehran to find peaceful alternatives to the NATO warmongering and terrorist sponsoring in Syria. The Western corporate media is silent as ever because there's a lot of military industrial complex money riding on destabilizing Syria (like Libya was brought down) and the corporate for-profit media have no incentive in telling the full story.

It's important and valuable to the pluralist thinker in these twilight days of Western materialist fetishism to seek alternative and contrarrian points of view from places like Press TV, Tehran Times and Russia Today. 

Ron Paul On CIA Drug Trafficking

It takes a little getting used to this idea so it's worth repeating once a day till it sticks in the episodic memory and/or long term memory.  The idea that the secret services (including MI6 I can add) run the global drug trade sounds like the sort of thing the corporate media would smear as a conspiracy theory to teach the gullible public what to question and what not to question. 

Anyway here it is and I can talk at length about this subject but it's quite far down the list of real secrets. The spooks sell drugs to fund their black operations. Those are the real secrets if you dig around a bit. Particularly the tech end that keeps us reliant on oil and the conflict that arises from it.

Operation Gladio - NATO False Flag Terror Operations

There's a misconception that NATO would never do anything other than above board military action. 

That's naive. 

Right from its establishment after WWII, NATO has used false flag terror to secure its own position and disseminate the idea that the European people are under attack and thus helpless without the strong arm of military crackdowns. It's well worth researching Gladio to understand how fear is used against peaceful populations to direct energy in negative ways.

This BBC programme is of a nature that cannot be found in contemporary programming. Somebody had the foresight to record it on video and the generosity to upload it. No account of Europe or E.U. elite manipulation is complete without it. 

You will see the many hands of the invisible body that washes itself including the SAS, Special Branch, P2 Masonic Lodge and former Prime Ministers of Italy and senior CIA (OSS) officials. This is as good as it gets in video research. Unbeatable.

The Company

I was researching Operation Gladio and James Jesus Angleton and came across this mini series called The Company on Youtube. You know, it's not bad at all. The character acting is good but the scripts don't suck and that goes a long way for me. There's a lot of love-in-the-CIA theme but somehow the actors transcend the obvious. Michael Keaton plays James Jesus Angleton in this dramatization though my favourite theme from around this time is the Cambridge homosexual double and triple agents without whom things would have gone far to straight forward given the string pullers of the intelligence agencies are extraordinarily venal. Regrettably most spies don't actually know that.

Rome and Birdcage Walk etc.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sly

I'm quite fussy about movies. It's somewhat hard for me to suspend disbelief and so for some reason I lucked out and can recommend Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Not because I think it's perfectly faithful to the espionage business but because it gets the 70's down pat and that's a lot harder to do than is evident from the outside.  I mentioned I enjoyed this on Facebook and a few people agreed so I'm recommending it to you.

John Hurt and Gary Oldman? You can't go wrong really but it's understated and that's a winner in spy movies. I could yawn from here into the 22nd century with the American guff they pump out from Hollywood with a few exceptions.

Roswell, Operation High Jump and the Opium Wars - Douglas Dietrich

Radical historian, Douglas Dietrich's explanation for Roswell is based on the military documents he was charged with destroying at the Presidio Naval base in San Francisco. It's the most convincing explanation in part because it's the least exciting, though that doesn't mean it isn't a notable psycop concealing crucial parts of military history. In addition his insights on the origins of SEATO as an Asian based drug dealing arrangement make him the only one to make this entirely plausible claim.

Henry Kissinger The Pseudo Intellectual & War Criminal - Christopher Hitchens

I can never quite square Hitchen's subsequent support for the NeoCons bombing of Iraq. I sometimes wonder if the intelligence spooks had something on him and press ganged his support. He wouldn't be the first. I also  think Tariq Ali's inability to call out 911 as an inside job is suspect. However it's worth listening to Hitch take the gloves off on a war criminal who still flies the globe while people like Julian Assange are seeking asylum.

Why NATO Bombed Libya But Not Bahrain, Saudi Arabia or Qatar

It's hard to be 100% certain and indeed there may have been more than one reason for NATO's eagerness to bomb Libya through trumped up right to protect charges against citizens in Benghazi (who have subsequently gone on to desecrate war graves in protest at NATO).

In some ways it might be Gadaffi's silence that supports the most obvious claim that he was planning on refusing to accept worthless printed dollars from the US and worthless printed Euros from the EU and demand gold or a new pan African currency instead. One thing hard to ignore is the vindictiveness with which NATO powers sought revenge. The snuff movie of Gadaffi's final minutes is the greatest proof of this.

Hillary Clinton's Syrian "Rebel" Buddies Throwing Postal Workers Off The Roof

We're not saying that Bashir Assad is our favourite Middle East leader. Not by a long chalk. But the unconscionable support by Hillary "NATO" Clinton for the Free Syrian Army and their acts of barbarity supported by Saudi funds is repugnant. As is Hillary Clinton's warmongering  in Syria for Iran's oil.

Like Heinz Kissinger there's no doubt that Hillary must stand charge for war crimes. Take a look at the video and make your own mind up. That's being done in your name if you're from the EU or the United States.

Why Is The U.S. Population Mute On Its Military

I imagine there are lots of reasons why. Ignorance and brain washing have to be a huge reason. Misunderstood patriotism could be one too but the reason I find of most concern is intimidation  The most spied upon people on the planet are the people of the U.S. and I worry their silence is fear. Maybe a once resilient and outspoken people no longer have the stomach to speak up and stand tall?

Maybe Glen Greenwald's analysis is correct. American's surveillance state is breeding fear and conformity.

Frank Zappa: Live At The Roxy - Los Angeles

Very good on a tropical Sunday Morning. Pick another mango off the tree. You know how it is.

Vice TV - David Icke & The Lizard Apocalypse

Libya, Syria & Iran Are All Preplanned Pentagon Wars

It's important to point out that General Wesley Clark is just as much a self serving weasel as all Pentagon Generals now seeking political office. He nearly dragged us into an unnecessary world war three with Russia over Kosovo but for the purposes of this post we can exploit elite Pentagon division and listen to him confirm that the wars on Libya, Syria and Iran are preplanned and thus the Free Syrian Army or whatever bullshit the mainstream media are spewing is just that. Don't be a fool. Wise up and be in the know.

Bahrain - Home To The U.S. Fifth Fleet & Gulf Torture

Excellent discussion on the topic with some welcome strong opinions put forward by Hillary Mann Leverett. Some nine stone weakling called Michael Posner has made some noises back in Washington but let's face it, if the US meant business they'd have the most senior person in the Fifth fleet banging his fist on a Bahrain table. That's not going to happen because the 5th fleet is hungry for a lot of oil.

BBC Documentary - The Power Of Nightmares - How The CIA Created Al Qaeda

The Power of Nightmares Part 1- Baby It's Cold Outside - by Adam Curtis from Michael Roe on Vimeo.

We're at that strange time in history where old myths and brainwashing are succumbing to new transparency and facts. It may well be the case that killing Osama Bin Laden was more about putting an end to the fake boogeyman myth that the U.S. populace is still breast feeding on but any BBC documentary follower (particularly of Adam Curtis' work) knows the story is a lot more diabolical than just plain vanilla good versus evil where the CIA is concerned.

Most blogs faithfully reproduce what the mainstream media tell them to but if you've got a finger on the pulse of reality you can keep up with what's going and the world makes a lot more sense than squabbling over petty division-issues at a political level. They're designed to distract and they work very well at keeping people uninformed.

Oliver Stone, Michael Moore & Chris Hedges On Hollywood Propaganda

I didn't know that Charlie Wilson's War originally made the link between the U.S. funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and their subsequent evolution into the Taliban much stronger. That cut was left on the edit room floor. It's a shame really as that link would have moved the movie from good to great. Interesting observations in this recent interview by Al Jazeera on the close links between the Pentagon and Hollywood meaning that not only is all American war portrayed as just but that the truth doesn't get a chance to be heard if it needs to use Pentagon hardware.

How Does The US Navy Get On With The Iranian Navy In The Straits Of Hormuz.

Admiral William J.Fallon, Former Commander of U.S. Central Command, speaking at the joint conference of AIC and ACMCU titled: The Changing Middle East, New Challenges, Players and US-Iran Relations. 

Fallon, discusses "The Changing Middle East and Implications for US-Iran Relations. He's kind of a straight up player who pushed back when the Bush administration wanted to start war with Iran but the bottom line is he doesn't understand that the US naval base in Bahrain is to do with US stability and not the region. He should also know the basics on Bahraini doctors and nurses being arrested and persecuted for treating injured protesters. He might choose to ignore those kind of issues but if I can learn up on his world he can learn up the world of the people where he parks his boats.

Interesting presentation though on naval etiquette and procedure. Far more grown up than Congress.

The Best Under 5 Minutes 9/11 Video Ever

I got talking to a Discovery Channel producer in a Bangkok Go Go bar about the subject of 911. He couldn't handle the thought that his country or media was lying to him and actually started to get aggressive about it. I quickly neutralised that by pointing out that he didn't even know how many buildings went down that day in New York (it's seven) and so why would would he want to discuss something he knows nothing about (as all 911 deniers do). 

But I can't help shaking my head that the producer of a discovery programme and a person who sets the agenda for learning in the United States was unable to open his mind to new information. Humans sure are curious but the brainwashed Americans too cowardly to confront the ugly reality are the most curious.
