Are we having war yet? The pins and needles administration has the world's attention, are they looking at or away from the problem that is behind the war on terror. The ruling elite have told us for years to watch out for a train wreck upon our sense of reality. In short they have told us to expect the unexpected, our world is going to be turned upside down. The quotes that give us warning are many, here are a few of the more poignant ones.

"you'd best be flexible; you'd best expect the unexpected."
-- Rumsfeld; PBS Newshour interview w/ Lehrer 5/25/2001

"World domination by the United States will lead to nation states being incorporated into a new world order, controlled solely by economic interests as dictated by banks, corporations and ruling elites concerned with the maintenance (by manipulation and war) of their power."

"As America becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may become more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat." -- Zbigniew Brzezinski - Council on Foreign Relations

"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond whether real or promulgated that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown.

When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the
World Government."

-- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

Kissinger also coined the phrase, "you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, and you can pick your nose and eat it too because you are the greatest foriegn policy diplomat in history."

"Why of course the people don't want war. . . . That is understood. Voice or no voice, 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 peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goering, Nazi officer, during his Nuremberg war crimes trial

"I was asked us to look at nuclear forces, and I'm doing that... We've been doing it repeatedly where we're going through how our offensive nuclear forces are arranged. At some point we'll have some proposals to very likely make some adjustments. But I think the expectation that you're going to make an enormous change is not understandable once you say you want to look at something; it's understandable, but it doesn't necessarily follow that that will happen." -- Rumsfeld March 3, 2002 while appearing on The MacNeil Lehrer Report

What more can be said. In the words of the ruling elite we hear the diabolical plan and we now are living with the outside, external threats. Then we the people can believe what we want. SO the next question to ask is, do I trust the messengers in countering the external threat or are they producing it? One can pick a fight and produce an external threat in two ways; one can aggressively push someone into a fight or one can fabricate a fight as in the movie Wag the Dog. It does not matter how the fight is created what matters is that we have one and it is being used as THE excuse for radically changing the landscape of our lives. Why do we need a PATRIOT ACT II, isn't the first one bad enough? To illustrate my point about fabrication lets look at Saddam Hussein.

Why do we march for peace? Could it be that millions of us do not believe for one instance the way the story is being told? The peace movement is accused of being appeasers and look at the appeasing Neville Chamberlain and the trouble it led to. Hitler should have been stopped long before he started WWII. The fact is that we the appeasers do not want Saddam or Bush. I am not an appeaser and I beg to be proven wrong that there is no collusion between Saddam Bush in this whole affair. Lets look at the facts.

If you want to end the reign of terror by Saddam then the US has to stop supporting him. The sanctions support Saddam by killing his enemies and not his supporters. The lifting of the oil embargo supports Saddam and them money from oil sales goes to Halliburton (Cheney) and other US companies to fix the oil wells and rebuild what is being destroyed by our bombs. Continued bombing of the Muslims (Saddam's enemies) supports Saddam. The Kurds are being killed in their villages in the north and the Shi'as are being bombed in the south- today, right now. Now the Iraqi elite are leaving the country for safety. Saddam and his supporters are leaving Iraq, who is going to die in the war? Saddam's enemies. Who will rule after the war? Will the current elites move back when the all clear is sounded?

A person can make the same case for Afghanistan as the new regime is an obvious puppet of the US oil company Unocal to keep the supply line open. The problem is the new regime is having a difficult time recruiting soldiers to fight their countrymen. Creating chaos in the name of rescuing the chaotic from anarchy is the game; create the disease and supply the antidote is the modus operandi of the CIA / Pentagon for decades. Could what we are witnessing be their swan song? That will depend on the people calling out the truth and bringing evil to the mat and holding them down for the 3 count. 1-2-3 you're out!

Will the US go to war against the wishes of the UN? Will this discredit the UN and make it innocuous? Will there be deep divisions between old and new Europe? Will NATO be split in two? Will all of the peaceful ways to stop BUSH in the world be gone with this attack on Iraq? IS this what is behind the charade of the Wag the Dog Iraq scenario? Then comes the burning question - when will the attack be launched? AFTER there is a divisive vote in the UN, after the inspectors leave, after the Iraqi elite leave, after Europe and NATO are permanently split in two, after Kissinger tells the world how good the US is and how bad old Europe is and that they must be spanked for what they are doing to ruin world alliances, after and only after these events take place will the war march on. Otherwise the attack will not be gaining maximum benefit for the New World Order.

The truth can be hard to ferret out if all the news we receive is from the US interest corporate media. Even then a person can look a little deeper to see that the US foreign policy has created the problems the US faces in the world by recognizing their stitching together these blowback Frankensteins Noriega, Bin Laden, and Hussein just to name a few. Call in the clowns, I mean generals to save us from the threat. But, Generals do not make good saviors, strong leaders with a vision for the people do. Where are Wellstones, Kings, and Lennons? We all know what happened to them and why; it is time for this cycle of violence to end.
