I now understand the role of Israel in this; the Zionist leadership intend to USE the Iran War as a pretext for finishing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The cost in Jewish lives will not be insubstantial, but the Zionists are betting that Hezbollah and Palestinians will rise up when Iran is attacked and/or fights back, and this rising up will "justify" the completion of the ethnic cleansing. Evill but now clear!2ATY
The Government are only puppets of the rich they do what there told.Were told we are a Democracy however its a load of Crap the rich try to control everything .There doing a pretty good at that,division is there goal creating enemies,leading their people with fear.They enjoy people fighting its legal theft the spoils of war.They enjoy cutting social programs with fear and use this money for Arms for Profit and let there own people homeless and on food stamps.Keep people ignorant and feed them lies and religion
we are in a depression because we are spending most of our budget billions on warfare and thats taxpayers money and we are giving it to private interests McDonald d Douglas Boeing General Electric Bribes Military Industrially Complex who enjoy wars were they can bill Government billions they will take all the money if not stopped.bombs tanks cruse missiles are a god send to private industry build and destroy no end.only the poor die and dumb soldiers there expendable
You forgot that the congress is given the responsibility to print and regulate the value of the currency! The taxes are only a projected return, during and after the government has spent the money! If the people turn against the policy of their government then we have a collapse of the currency!
war is inevable usa wants war thats why they are pushing so hard.they just need a reason to attack and if not they will make one happen so they have control of all the oil the usa is drunk with power WAR IS POWER MONEY CANADA MB
"War is power money" you say? So how come we are in a deep depression? America has been at war of almost a decade. Using your reasoning America should be booming economically.
The country has been hijacked by criminals. It is the neocons, some with two passports and their plans have been well documented in the PNAC documents. They are after a "greater isreal" and the have tricked the Americans to die for it. We are dealing with end of the world, cult psychopaths with funny hats and a tendency to look like a Sasquatch. They have many nukes and if push come to shove, they will use them. (Samson Option) They also have biological weapons labs searching for race/tribe/ethnic specific diseases. They are criminals and very dangerous. They murder, they lie, they cheat, any black art is alright if it moves them to their goals. They were born out of chaos/terrorism. This is their stock and trade. The sooner Americans realize the fifth column enemy inside the States, the better off Americans and world will be.
This is truly an end game scenario! it is to see who will have the last light bulb burning. It is concocted by mad men, who have failed to create an alternative to energy from crude oil. An energy that is well known to most industrial energy producers. An energy source that is almost free and that is why they would rather see who will have the last light bulb burning!
i've never felt more hated in my whole life. i always feel like i'm more hated than anyone, but occassionally i hear someone say they too are feeling hated, hmmm
does perhaps this have something to do with my poor bankuptser gangster bangster bombsters spreading vile vileness, death, misery and suffering all everywhere, would that explain it? i mean, seeing as we're at war with the whole world, sadly, pathetically (and lacking all imagination) i guess this may explain why i feel like the whole world is always sort of at war with me most basic needs and instincts, to do good and be loving. Because in fact, that has been the overriding, overarching paradigm i've experienced, of having everything around me wrecked and ruined every time i turn around or blink, gasp.
The latest reports that I've seen suggest that the Russians honored a US request not to export S 300 surface to air systems to Iran. Chossudovsky over estimates Iranian conventional capabilities. Tony Cordesman did an analysis of Iranian OOB a few years back indicating that the unconventional capabilities of the RG were intended to compensate for weaknesses in conventional forces and actually represented a more significant long term threat to potential attackers.
Thank you Bonnie. Always good to hear Chossudovsky's POV, despite the dire implications and warnings.
zeofredo, welcome to red pill world. I don't think there's an antidote, once you've swallowed the bitter truth. Oh well, forewarned is forearmed I guess.
A great show as usual... I gained plenty of insight from it and have no reason to doubt much of what Chossudovsky says.
Too bad that afterward I go out among people and feel more alone than ever, knowing that just to mention something like Austere Challenge or Theatre Iran Near Term is to bring wrath and ridicule down on my head.
