Secrets of War

February 7, 2013 in Finance, United States

…continued from yesterday

“Historically, war has been how one country takes another country’s resources. The United States Military has refined this process. The preferred method is to stage an alliance with locals that allows profit sharing. Of course, if that can’t happen, America just takes the gold or the oil or sets up its own drug networks.”

My client was listening.

“Where did you learn this?”

“I read a lot of books and I do a lot of online research.”

Asian poppy fieldI described the lucrative poppy fields of Asia. I identified the work of economic hit men. I told about Michael Rupert’s experiences. I reminded my client of Fast and Furious and the Iran Contra Scandal.

I told her about the reports of heroin being smuggled from Vietnam into the U.S. in the bodies and caskets of dead American soldiers.

I realized I had probably exceeded the limits of what she could accept for the day.

“Listen, when I first encountered this information, I didn’t think it was true. I denied it. However, as time went by, and I kept reading, I realized it had to be true. It took me about six months but I got there. I accepted it as possible.

“With that acceptance, I could honestly look at the information and get a clearer picture of what is taking place in our world.

“It isn’t pretty but I believe at least some of the stories are true.

“And, I believe those stories are why more military members die via suicide than from combat.”

She had mentioned that story during a previous meeting so I knew she was familiar with it.

“Will you send me a list of books and resources so I can research this for myself?”

“I’ll send that to you.”

Our conversation ended there as we turned to the accounting work that was the purpose for the day’s visit.

When we finished that work, I left my appointment grateful that I had pushed against her belief system and she had been receptive. I realized that her willingness to consider new ideas was a contributing factor to her lifetime of successful ventures.

I knew this wasn’t the case with those men and women in the military who had chosen to end their lives.

The story linked here, published at the end of December, provides some of the details.

It says suicide happens within the ranks of the United States Military at the rate of one enlisted person per day.

It speculates that “substance abuse, financial pressure, and relationship issues” are the primary causes. In addition, it says that 85 percent of those who commit suicide didn’t see combat prior to taking their lives.

By the way, suicide doesn’t stop with enlisted soldiers.

A recent study by the Veteran’s Administration shows that twenty-two ex-military members take their lives every day.

A related article attempts to explain why these suicides are happening.

The primary theory is that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the cause. However, the story touches on another possible reason.

It dovetails with my recent articles about doubt and trust.

I’ll join those together tomorrow.

Responding to A False Flag Event in Chicago

May 15, 2012 in United States

I have noticed an increase in tension and fear over the past few days.

The fear porn sites are forecasting increasingly destructive scenarios.

The lightworkers are writing almost exclusively about releasing fear and embracing love.

Either at a conscious or subconscious level, we believe that the old power structure and financial system is about to end. Therefore, we are imagining the worst.

Some people believe there will be a last-ditch effort by those in power to hang onto it.

This is what happened in September 2001. Depending on which story you listen to, there were several motivations for 9/11. Removing gold from the World Trade Center complex and destroying financial evidence stored there are often listed as motives. Other common reasons for 9/11 include the Military Industrial Complex’s (MIC) need for an excuse to go to war in the Middle East and reducing the freedoms of American citizens.

As we have become knowledgeable about 9/11, we have started looking closer at other catalysts for war. This includes Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania, and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. There is evidence that each situation was a false flag event used to motivate Americans to participate in war.

Now, as pressure builds in the financial industry, we are anticipating the next last-ditch effort.

I wrote a couple days ago about this weekend’s NATO Meeting in Chicago. The evidence shows huge opportunity for a false flag event there.

A false flag event usually consists of a disaster, likely staged by the MIC, easily blamed on an enemy. The event provides ample drama and confusion. Then, the media, using press releases generated by the MIC, comes along and resolves the situation by crafting a story that works for the MIC’s benefit.

For example, 9/11 was blamed on al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Ten years later, this story carried so much weight that most of the world celebrated the announcement of bin Laden’s death.

They celebrated in spite of the fact that mainstream media reported bin Laden’s death from kidney failure in December 2001, just three months after 9/11.

They celebrated in spite of the substantial evidence that Al Qaida and Osama bin Laden are CIA operatives. I’ve seen so much evidence to this effect that I now hear “CIA” whenever someone says Al Qaida and Osama bin Laden.

(By the way, it doesn’t stop with those names. Almost every recent story about terrorism arrests has a tie back to the CIA or FBI. Just as it is common knowledge that law enforcement brings drugs into the United States so they can arrest users and fill prisons, law enforcement is now finding those who might commit terrorist acts and encouraging them to do so, even to the point of providing terrorism materials. Then, these people are arrested and we are told no one was ever in any danger.)

Often, false flag events are preceded by warnings that the events are about to happen. This prepares the public for accepting the story afterwards. Michael Ruppert describes the real-life preparations for 9/11 in his book Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil.

In addition, renowned novelist Tom Clancy provided a glimpse of a 9/11-type event in Debt of Honor, published in 1995. The book ends when a pilot crashes a plane full of fuel into the Capital Building during a joint session of Congress.

If you understand how a false flag event works, it is easy to see where one might take place.

ChicagoThis weekend in Chicago looks tailor-made for a false flag event.

Chicago now includes a military Red Zone, a no fly zone with shoot-to-kill orders, and evacuation plans for the city. Public military drills are taking place and many of the news stories about this weekend include the words “nuclear,” “dirty bomb,” and “bioweapon.”

Some of the stories have already mentioned the groups that will be blamed for the disaster. Put the search terms “NATO false flag Chicago” into Google and almost half a million hits appear.

Of course, nothing may happen.

However, it if does, I’m sure the press releases have already been written.

How will we respond to the story this time?

Will we ignore the pattern of the past one hundred years and buy into it, giving the MIC and those who control our financial system another opportunity to dupe us and delay the process of making real change? Or, will we call their bluff, tell them we don’t support their efforts to kill and enslave us, and move forward in a peaceful manner?

I have reasons to believe we will respond peacefully this time. I’ll use tomorrow’s article to explain why.

R.I.P. MIC

April 8, 2012 in Opinion, World

Regular readers of this site may be puzzled about why I took yesterday’s column to forecast the demise of the National Football League. After all, it isn’t football season and the NFL really isn’t on the radar of most people who read my writings.

I wrote the column to make a point.

I believe that how we do anything is how we do everything. I see that our leisure activities reflect our personal philosophy. An event in the sports world is an indicator of how we feel about things in the non-leisure world.

Therefore, the outcry over the violence for the sake of money in the NFL indicates that our society is reaching a tipping point regarding violence for the sake in money in other parts of life too.

money and gunThis includes a league that is even more profitable than the NFL. It is called the Military Industrial Complex (MIC). This league orchestrates and manages the game of war.

Obviously, war is brutal. From my perspective, there is no valid reason for war.

However, even those who believe war is viable would be shaken if they knew about the atrocities that happen outside of the “normal killing” of war. I believe this knowledge would cause such an outcry from the general public that, like with the NFL, the MIC would have to make major adjustments in the way war is played.

I believe the fact that these stories are coming to the surface indicates that war is headed down the same path as the NFL.

A few months ago, former Navy Seal Bill Wood, aka Bill Brockbrader, told us of his involvement in bombing “soft targets” in the time between the two Iraqi wars. This included the controversial destruction of a quiet little Iraqi village that ignited internal fights between these highly trained Special Forces units.

A local author, who is also my client, has written a book about his involvement in taking out soft targets during the cold war. More than fifty years later, the horrors of carrying out the assignment to blow up an orphanage still cloud his brilliant mind.

Another client has told me stories of a brother who is currently locked away so that he doesn’t tell about the atrocities he committed while employed by the United States military.

I have heard numerous other firsthand accounts of wartime destruction that had no military value.

In every situation, the MIC has covered up, denied, or twisted these stories.

After all, if the general public knew the truth, there would be outcry and lawsuits, just like there are in the NFL. The truth is hidden from us by the MIC-controlled mainstream media because the MIC has too much money to lose if the truth becomes public.

Therefore, when a platoon of up to twenty soldiers, supported by helicopters dropping chaff to hide them from ground attack, killed more than a dozen Afghanistan civilians, the official story, which borders on the impossible, was that a single gunman with mental and alcohol problems did the killing.

Afghani investigators were not given the opportunity to question the solder further. He was rapidly removed from the country and is reportedly being held in the United States.

News agencies that reported something other than the mainstream media story were quickly ostracized by the MIC and condemned for their “propaganda.”

In other words, the MIC, with the cooperation of mainstream media, hid facts and prevented investigation. They know that, for the game of the war to be played and accepted by the general population, it must be less brutal. The MIC’s income stream depends upon it.

However, war, by definition, is brutal.

Therefore, the effort to make it less brutal, just like the effort to make the NFL less violent, is counterproductive.

As the truth of brutal acts for the sake of money comes to the surface, the MIC must face the consequences of its brutality.

At that point, the game will be over.
