Bilderberg Insider: Kissinger Pushing For US Ground Invasion Of Libya

Globalists want protracted war to last through 2012

Despite the fact that the United States is embroiled in three major conflicts and can barely service its own gigantic debt, with Standard and Poor this week indicating the US will soon lose its triple-A credit rating, top globalist and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recently told fellow elitists at three different globalist confabs that the US needs to launch a ground invasion of Libya and keep the war running for at least another year.

According to veteran Bilderberg journalist Jim Tucker, whose sources have proven routinely accurate in leaking discussion topics shared by globalists at their regular meetings, Kissinger gave almost the exact same speech at three different conferences over the past two weeks, firstly during an April 8-10 get-together at the George Washington University’s Elliot School of International Affairs, then at an Aspen Institute session on “Values and Diplomacy” at the National Cathedral, and finally during the Bretton Woods II conference in New Hampshire.

“Kissinger, visibly depressed, gave a rationale for the war on Libya that the TC (Trilateral Commission) and its brother group, Bilderberg, want to keep rolling, according to an inside source who has proved reliable for years. Both groups want the war extended through 2012 to generate turmoil throughout the Middle East and pressure the United States into attacking Iran on behalf of Israel. Which would also produce huge war profits,” writes Tucker.

With President Obama keen to oversee more “mission creep” in Libya, by sending unmanned drones to intensify the air bombardment, Kissinger made it clear that the ultimate intention was to do what Obama specifically promised would never happen, a US ground invasion...

Western Response to Japan: The real crime against humanity

From Prison Planet.

The Anglo-American multi-trillion dollar global military machine has been defended ad nauseum as essential to protecting free humanity and its progress into a promising future. In reality, it is a criminal facilitator obsessed with pilfering the world’s resources, consolidating power in the hands of feckless feeble minded, short-sighted degenerate financiers, and fostering an unprecedented level of interdependence and vulnerability in every nation brought within their sphere of influence.

One must wonder what sort of world we might be living in today if the trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives squandered in the last 10 years of war profiteering in the Middle East, were instead used to push real education, technological research and development, and real tangible technological progress. Not only would we have sources of power that could replace dangerous and antiquated power plants like the 40 year old Fukushima reactors, but we as Americans might have a naval fleet actually capable of protecting the “free world” from real threats like the one unfolding off the east coast of Japan’s Fukushima prefecture.

Instead, the US fleet is stretched globally involved in a myriad of meddling geopolitical gambits, many of which were intentionally engineered and initiated by corporate-serving policy wonks in Washington and London. Even as Japan drowns, burns, melts-down, evacuates, and workers engage in suicide missions to mitigate the unprecedented disaster unfolding, Washington and London leadership obsessively pursue their pet projects worldwide...

...In this case, Japan, mired in a catastrophe that very well endangers the US itself is in dire need of any and all assistance, an effort the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should direct her entire, undivided attention to. Instead, Secretary Hillary Clinton is wasting time in Paris consorting with foreign backed Libyan rebels trying to overthrow the government of a sovereign nation...

“All In All It Appears That Eisenhower’s Worst Fears Have Been Realized And His Remarkable And Unique Warnings Given For Naught”

From Washington's Blog.


Washington’s Blog
Jan 21, 2011

President Eisenhower’s warned us about the growing threat from the powerful military-industrial complex – and it’s threat to our prosperity – 50 years ago...

...It is not a stretch to believe that this armaments industry — which profits not only from domestic sales but also from tens of billions of dollars in annual exports — manipulates public policy to perpetuate itself. But Eisenhower was concerned about more than just the military’s size; he also worried about its relationship to the American economy and society, and that the economy risked becoming a subsidiary of the military.

From Military-Industrial Complex to Permanent War State

From Counterpunch

By GARETH PORTER

Fifty years after Dwight D. Eisenhower’s January 17, 1961 speech on the “military-industrial complex”, that threat has morphed into a far more powerful and sinister force than Eisenhower could have imagined. It has become a “Permanent War State”, with the power to keep the United States at war continuously for the indefinite future.

But despite their seeming invulnerability, the vested interests behind U.S. militarism have been seriously shaken twice in the past four decades by some combination of public revulsion against a major war, opposition to high military spending, serious concern about the budget deficit and a change in perception of the external threat. Today, the Permanent War State faces the first three of those dangers to its power simultaneously -- and in a larger context of the worst economic crisis since the great depression...

Daniel Ellsburg Sees Need for New 9/11 Investigation

In the second video you can also see Chris Hedges preparing to be arrested in front of the White House. I remember when Chris Hedges was writing excellent articles in the New York Times. These days he is protesting in front of the White House and getting arrested and the New York Times has become a pro-war propaganda rag. How things have changed in the last 15 years.

From 9/11 Blogger.

July 14, 2006 inteview with Jack Blood on "Deadline Live", Ellsberg is passionate about the need for a new 9/11 investigation. Ellsberg's views are a challenge to Veterans For Peace, an organization for which he advocates support. Judging from the signs at the December 16 war protest in DC, VFP members remain mysteriously timid about using the need for a new 9/11 investigation as a powerful challenge to the pretext of the war that led to the war itself.

It's this simple...

Either we get the current corrupt lying fake manipulative scumbags out of their positions of power, or the world will become a decrepit prison full of frightened idiots enslaved to their government/corporate masters. We are already at least a third of the way there.

A Brief Look at the Arguments Against Wikileaks...

What are the arguments against Wikileaks? I only know a few.

1. Wikileaks has blood on it's hands for endangering sources or collaborators with the US.

This has never been proven, and seems to be largely a Pentagon talking point used to sway opinion, having no basis in fact. People who collaborate and aid invading armies like the U.S. occupying force in Afghanistan and Iraq are of course always in danger. That the Taliban have read Wikileaks and then hunted down individuals has never been proven. If there were such cases, I'm sure the Pentagon would be jumping all over them. Assange has also pointed out that these people may not be so innocent as some pretend, since they are individuals who have decided to aid an occupying force for personal profit or other motive.

2. Wikileaks has hurt diplomacy, made it more difficult for the U.S. to do essential work like halting the spread of nuclear weapons.

If anyone had faith in our western governments, this might be a valid point. However their secrecy, corruption and dishonesty have turned them into unreliable partners for a just and democratic world. Just to use a famous example, the UK and the US conspired to fake intelligence and outright lie about WMDs in order to invade Iraq. On a personal basis, if we know someone to be a liar, we will want added transparency in our dealings with them. The same should go for governments. We cannot entrust them with such power until they rediscover the importance of principle and justice in their dealings.

You've lost my trust, now you have to lose your secrecy!

3. Assange is a Patsy and Wikileaks is a plot by Soros or the CIA to bring us to war, help Israeli concerns, or to shut down or censor the internet.

I haven't seen any strong evidence that points to this other then people who are completely convinced of it, without giving much proof. If there is evidence of some such thing, bring it out, let's have a look. I find it, as well, hard to believe that the document dumps are in the interest or serve somehow the agenda of the CIA or the larger military-industrial-financial complex. Of course any form of resistance can trigger a crackdown from the authorities, but does that make the resistance itself wrong? It might also be that the crackdown or increase in security will tax the energies of the military-industrial-financial complex and make them weaker and not stronger in the long run.

Moneybookers Is Pentagon Puppet.

Update: A look at the Wikipedia page for Investcorp, the corporation behind Moneybookers, reveals interesting Rockefeller, Iraq and Middle East connections.

From News.com.

WHISTLEBLOWING website WikiLeaks claims its funding has been blocked and that it is the victim of financial warfare by the US government.
The Guardian reported that Moneybookers, a British-registered internet payment company, reportedly closed WikiLeak’s account on August 13.
It claims the organisation had been put on a US government watchlist and an official Australian blacklist.
The blacklisting came a few days after the US publicly expressed its anger at WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, for releasing classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan.
Assange, a Sweden-based Australian citizen, told The Guardian that he learned of the apparent blacklisting after he emailed the Moneybookers e-commerce manger for the Nordic region, Daniel Stromberg, asking why his account was suspended.

"When I did my regular overview of my customers, I noticed that something was wrong with your account and I emailed our risk and legal department to solve this issue," Mr Stromberg's email read.
"Below I have copied the answer I received from them: 'Hi Daniel, you can inform him that initially his account was suspended due to being accessed from a blacklisted IP address. However, following recent publicity and the subsequently addition of the WikiLeaks entity to blacklists in Australia and watchlists in the USA, we have terminated the business relationship.'"
Assange predicted that the blocking of funds would "likely to cause a huge backlash against Moneybookers".
"Craven behavior in relation to the US government is unlikely to be seen sympathetically."

American Psyche Fails To Understand Current Crisis

Editorial

We are living in a time of incredible corruption. That we all know. We have a generation of top down elitists who despite their ignorance are strongly arrogant in their feeling of their ability to control and manipulate the mass public. Perhaps with good reason. While many liberals in the Northeast are still confused to some degree that the Democrats and Brand Obama could give them that warm and cuddly feeling of "change" that will make everything good again, the southern anti-establishment movement is content to dig its heels in like a bull waiting to charge a red flag, only their supposed enemy goes by a name Fox News, Wall Street and the Military-Industrial Complex are only all too willing to hang in in front of them like a toreador. Socialism. With this the anti-establishment right continues the old Reagan era (and earlier) mythology of the "left," the "communists," "liberal cockroaches" or "socialists", as the ones behind all the trouble of today. Obama is the leader of this socialist revolution they contend. This is a complete, and disastrous falsehood which gives me ZERO hope for the future of this country.

I am in complete agreement that the corporations, big money, Wall Street etc. have bought out both parties. Obama is as much a Socialist as Rush Limbaugh. Yes, Obama serves the interests of the "state" but that is a state which has been completely bought off and controlled by the big banks, corporations and big money in general. The liberal surface is a charade.

I have lived in liberal countries with some significant socialist influences such as the UK, Austria, and Norway. In all three I felt that government generally worked as well if not better for the general population. I had no feeling that any of these countries weren't as free as ours, if not in some ways more so. No country is perfect, and I am sure these aren't either. Certainly the UK has some major problems as they are developing towards a police state in many ways faster then we are. When I hurt my leg however and could go to a hospital and have it looked at without paying, I can't say I thought this was "evil." Much more evil to me was when I returned to "free" America and went to a doctor for a 30 second examination which cost $300. No joke.

I don't however imagine that Obama truly intends to bring these prices down. In the corrupted system we have today, any reform is only a disguise to give more power and profit to the already powerful. The "mafia" of big business, international banks, military-industrial complex, neoconservatives, drug cartels etc... will not be satisfied until our country is completely drained of all its wealth and freedom. It is they, and not any supposed terrorists, or socialists which are the real threat to our freedoms and way of life.

The liberals of America are in many ways equally delusional. They to some degree have looked the other way as Obama continues the Bush-era wars. Some even like the idea of the big arm of the American military reaching out and "defeating" their enemies. Some think gun control, gay marriage, and abortion are still the important issues of our time. Some are fooled into thinking if a woman, or a minority is appointed to a post, it is automatically a good thing, regardless of their stand on the issues. Some don't understand or respect the importance of our constitutional right to bear arms or of free speech. All this is also wrong in my opinion.

However the anti-establishment right, is currently in opposition. The question is, what will they oppose? Just the false surface sheen of liberalism, or socialism? Or the deep rooted evil of a corporate power elite bent on manipulation, robbery, murder, and destruction?
The toreador is hanging the red flag of socialism in front of what he thinks to be an ignorant bull about to be speared once again. Don't charge the red flag. Do what the bull can't do, pick up the spear instead and watch the toreador run.

Just When We Finally Start To Get Our House In Order, That's The Time For The Cabal To Make Their Next False Flag?

Right around 9/11 we had the revelations concerning TRILLIONS of unaccounted for Pentagon spending coming to the surface, the Enron Scandal, the bursting of the dot.com bubble. Are we not in a similar time with all these investigations starting to take place? As some are suggesting, could the rogue network of Wall Street and Washington, the Cabal, the Octopus, it has many names, be ready to strike once again?
