The Post-Bush Regime: A Prognosis

In order to understand anything about American political affairs, it is necessary to have some understanding of who it is that really makes the decisions behind the scenes, and what their interests are. In this way we have some hope of identifying the hidden agendas being served by government actions and programs, and some hope of identifying the l

Reconciling Fascism with Reality

Often times, fascism is subconsciously linked to the grainy black and white pictures of marauding Wermacht and SS troops from the 1940s. However, this shows a mental normal-ness which is incorrect. While Nazism did have fascist overtones, Nazism is not a form of government. Nazism is political ideology.

The planned collapse of America

There is no shortage of speculation about "why" our leaders are still adamantly planning for the destruction of Iran, in the face of overwhelming popular opposition, even though everyone except the neocons and their allies believes that America would not survive our own actions. An irrational attack is planned and apparently the decision has been chiseled in stone. It may be for Israel. It may be for oil. Maybe it is for world domination?

CNN: Corrupt News Network

THE United States is at war in the Middle East and Central Asia, the economy is writhing like a snake with a broken back, oil prices are relentlessly climbing toward $100 a barrel and an increasing number of Americans just can't afford to be sick with anything that won't be treated with aspirin and bed rest.

So, when CNN brought the Republican presidential candidates together this week for what is loosely termed a "debate," what did the country get but a discussion of immigration, Biblical inerrancy and the propriety of flying the Confederate flag?

Venezuela: Not What You Think

12/01/07 "MRZine" - -- -In the case of Hugo Chavez and the Venezuelan Bolivarian Revolution, the mainstream media and politicians in the United States have elevated their game of demonizing all who oppose US foreign policy and business interests to a higher level of absurdity than usual. According to the mainstream media, the only newsworthy stories in Venezuela are one sided diatribes lifted from the discredited, opposition-owned media in Venezuela. For example, we read about Chavez shutting down opposition TV stations. We hear that Chavez is rewriting the Venezuelan Constitution so he can be President for life. Chavez is a dictator, QED.

Another CIA sponsored Coup D'Etat? Venezuela’s D-Day

On November 26, 2007 the Venezuelan government broadcast and circulated a confidential memo from the US embassy to the CIA which is devastatingly revealing of US clandestine operations and which will influence the referendum this Sunday (December 2, 2007).

The outcome of the Referendum of December 2 is a decisive historical event first and foremost for Venezuela but also for the rest of the Americas. A positive vote (Vota ‘Sí’) will provide the legal framework for the democratization of the political system, the socialization of strategic economic sectors, empower the poor and provide the basis for a self-managed factory system. A negative vote (or a successful US-backed civil-military uprising) will reverse the most promising living experience of popular self-rule, of advanced social welfare and democratically based socialism. A reversal, especially a military dictated outcome, will lead to a massive blood bath, such as we have not seen since the days of the Indonesian Generals’ Coup of 1966, which killed over a million workers and peasants or the Argentine Coup of 1976 in which over 30,000 Argentines were murdered by the US backed Generals.

Billionaire to Canada: Time for amero is now

Stephen Jarislowsky, a billionaire money manager and investor the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail bills as the Canadian Warren Buffet, has told a parliamentary committee Canada and the United States both should abandon their national dollar currencies and move to a regional North American currency as soon as possible.

I J NOTE: What this article is doing is called a ``PSYOP``. Psycological operation preparing people for what will happen in the future. There will be an AMERO dollar as suggested but not until mid 2008 or early 2009, after the bombing of IRAN. This is planned to coordinate with the implementation of the NORTH AMERICAN UNION.

Unfortunately for the American, Mexican and Canadian people this will not be to their benefit. The `08 ellections will be cancelled, martial law installed, Bush will remain President indefinately and America will be finished as you know it.

Noam Chomsky on U.S. Policy Towards Iran

"Suppose it was true that Iran is helping insurgents in Iraq. I mean, wasn’t the United States helping insurgents when the Russians invaded Afghanistan? Did we think there was anything wrong with that? I mean, Iraq's a country that was invaded and is under military occupation. You can't have a serious discussion about whether someone else is interfering in it. The basic assumption underlying the discussion is that we own the world."

I J NOTE: The problem now is that the world has figured out what is happening and is fighting back. The party is over for the US. The sad part is that the politicians and giant military industrial complex corporations will still survive in luxury as always and the American people will be paying the band.

Banks Gone Wild

11/24/07 "New York Times " -- -- “What were they smoking?” asks the cover of the current issue of Fortune magazine. Underneath the headline are photos of recently deposed Wall Street titans, captioned with the staggering sums they managed to lose.

The answer, of course, is that they were high on the usual drug — greed. And they were encouraged to make socially destructive decisions by a system of executive compensation that should have been reformed after the Enron and WorldCom scandals, but wasn’t.

Forecast: U.S. dollar could plunge 90 pct

11/24/07 -- -, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- A financial crisis will likely send the U.S. dollar into a free fall of as much as 90 percent and gold soaring to $2,000 an ounce, a trends researcher said.

"We are going to see economic times the likes of which no living person has seen," Trends Research Institute Director Gerald Celente said, forecasting a "Panic of 2008."

"The bigger they are, the harder they'll fall," he said in an interview with New York's Hudson Valley Business Journal.

The Method to Bush’s Madness in Overthrowing Venezuela

Have George w. Bush and the entire U.S. Government gone insane, are they just totally incompetent or worse, is there a method to the madness which is just part of the most ingenious evil plan ever devised?

Note: Our last article linked below described how the US might invade Venezuela and the scenario assumes this happens before they bomb Iran. This articles assumes the Venezuela take over happens later.

In each article I have read in the past few years concerning all the insane things happening worldwide one thing comes to my attention more than anything else, that each article is focused on one particular event and in most cases is written by journalist with a certain expertise in one particular area and in every article the reader is left with knowledge of only 4 of the 5 questions which reporters are supposed to know. Who, What, When and Where of every event is usually reported in detail by the mainstream media (MSM) as well as the Independent media. The most important question is never answered...WHY. This article will attempt to explain why all the unexplainable things are happening around the world.

I have laid awake many a night wondering why world leaders like Bush and the Washington gang are making themselves look like fools, lunatics and incompetent buffoons but in the back of my mind I always believed they had to be smarter than they appear to be so I dedicated myself to figuring this all out. I simply had to know the truth.

Prior to the world trade center attack on 9-11-2001 I had been a political reporter for over 10 years, mostly in Venezuela and the US, specializing in corruption so I already knew that politicians are corrupt but never knew them to be either insane or incompetent or just plain stupid. I also knew the government controls the people through the official reports in the mainstream media but never imagined how far this could go in the name of National Security and preserving American interest. ( http://thedoctorwithin.com/index_fr.php?page=articles/doors_of_perception.php ) WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING

Over 10 years experience investigating high level government corruption plus 6 years of research, careful study, investigations and analysis have led me to the conclusions which you are about to read in the following paragraphs.

The world is about to undergo some drastic changes due to a hand full of evil, greedy, corrupt people fighting for world domination. The majority of the people in the world do not have any idea what is happening but a few do know and are trying or hoping to stop them. The final outcome for better or worse will depend on how many people become aware of the developing disaster and who puts forth the most effort, the good guys or bad guys. It really is that simple.

When I first heard of the 911 attacks I virtually glued myself to the TV news to see what was going on and what would be next. At first I was shocked but as days passed and new information was coming in it became clear to me that something was terribly wrong with the entire scenario and official government reports. You could call it a reporter’s intuition, gut feeling or plain old common sense but whatever it was I was not the only person who knew something was not right.

In the weeks that followed it was apparent that the U.S. government and MSM were trying to convince me and the world that 19 illegal aliens from the deserts of the Middle East used false documents to enter the U.S., learned to fly airplanes in American flight schools in the Florida Keys using single engine piper cub aircraft then simultaneously hijacked 4 American jumbo jet passenger planes full of people from the most secure airports in the world, took control of the planes in flight using only box cutters and then flew the planes around in restricted airspace for almost 2 hours with no concern from anyone and with the precision flying and navigational skills of veteran air-force pilots flew them into their intended targets, the world trade centers and the Pentagon. Then if the insult to my intelligence was not bad enough they wanted me to believe some guy named OSAMA BIN LADEN, a Saudi billionaire who lives in a cave in Afghanistan, planned it all. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/middle_east/1559151.stm
Hijack 'suspects' alive and well

Just days before 911 if you did a search on any web search engine like Yahoo search and looked for ‘’Conspiracy theory’’, you would get about 36,000 results or web sites devoted to exposing some form of government conspiracy. If you do the same search now you will get around 16,000,000 results. There has to be a good reason for the increase and this US administration, the events of 911 and all events since then are the reason. The conspiracy theorist insist and have for the most part proven, thru scientific forensic analysis, eyewitness reports, whistle blowers, government documents, etc that 911 was an inside job, orchestrated by the present U.S. Administration as a pretext for starting the war in Iraq and Afghanistan which will ultimately lead to a regional Middle East war where all nations are involved. http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/27683
"Seven countries in five years"


Why am I talking about 911 in an article covering Venezuela? Because 911 was the beginning of the end for Venezuela and you need to know the background events before you can understand what this is all about and why Venezuela is the key to the biggest conspiracy in the history of the world. You also need to understand exactly how dangerous these people are and the lengths they will go to for the sake of preserving U.S. Interest and National security.

Bush threatens to attack Iran with nuclear weapons...All links to Bush threats )


Let us go back even further, to about 90 years ago when the U.S. Government first realized that oil was the most valuable resource on the planet. With the industrial age in full swing and everything running on or made from oil, the U.S. was searching worldwide for more sources. Plenty of oil had already been discovered in America, the Atlantic basin and close to America’s doorstep which America claimed and hoarded. It was in or around 1928 when Venezuela became the worlds leading oil supplier but the problem was that the British were in control of it. US President Woodrow Wilson managed to evict the British from Venezuela and put American oil companies in charge. This involved a US led coup and regime change which placed a vicious and corrupt dictator in charge that was fully backed by the US and agreed to throw the Brits out. US oil companies aided by corrupt government officials in Venezuela and the US have robbed the Venezuelan people of unimaginable amounts of money since those days thru the backing of every corrupt Venezuelan leader up to the election of President Hugo Chavez in 1998.

It all began with ”Wilsonian Idealism,” which was actually what we know today as the free trade agreement but in Wilson’s days it was called an ’’OPEN DOOR POLICY’’. The open door policy worked just as the free trade policy works now, which is to open the door when the US sees a possibility of acquiring assets valuable to the US economy and then closing the door once they are in US possession or control.

In every case, as has been observed in the US invasion of over 70 sovereign nations in the past 90 years, there are a few individuals who are willing to join the US in raping their own country and those individuals are the ones placed in political and military control. Then there are the majority of citizens who oppose a US takeover. Those are the ones called ``REVOLUTIONARIES`` ``INSURGENTS`` ``TERRORIST`` and unfortunately they are the ones who are captured, imprisoned for life, tortured, used for experimentation and eventually KILLED.

History has proven that when a 3rd world leader refuses to sign US free trade and other proposals, allowing the US to trade peanuts for oil and other valuable natural resources, the results are always coups, revolutions and a regime change backed by the US. US policy is to keep what it has, and take what it might need in the future, and if taking by force is necessary, so be it. This has been the policy and the pattern for over 90 years. http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=07/04/16/1338223

According to US banking officials, in the 6 months prior to Chavez winning the elections, which was expected by the opposition, more money from Venezuela’s corrupt elite was deposited in US banks than was left in the Venezuelan treasury. One study on the Venezuelan economy by a German university [reference?] concluded that if corruption were to stop in Venezuela and the opposition and US were to leave President Chavez to working on domestic issues, all of Venezuelans foreign debt could be paid off in one year and every family could be given a nice home, car and food which would last them a lifetime without working at all. This could be done with the sale of natural resources alone in only one year. Something worth fighting for, right?

NOTE: Due to US meddling in Venezuelan domestic policies it has taken President Chavez 8 years to pay off all of the Venezuelan debt, which was held by the International Monetary Fund, (WORLD BANK) which is actually the US Treasury. Venezuela is now free from the IMF and US controls and is helping many other Latin American countries pay off their debt and become free of Imperial capitalist control. This is of course being portrayed by US officials as destabilizing Latin America, radicalism, communism, un-democratic and is a serious threat to US interest and National Security. In reality, when anything is a threat to American interest it is helping the remainder of the world and the US is not going to allow that.

The US government did not stop with the regime change in Venezuela as is evident in documented cases of huge oil reserves being found in Africa also where the US caused more bloody revolutions, regime change, and genocide to secure the oil for America. Indonesia was not spared a large dose of American greed either. President Sukarno was ousted by a US/CIA led coup in 1965 which the American newspapers called “A STAGGERING MASS SLAUGHTER.”

(A CIA study of the events in Indonesia assessed that "In terms of the numbers killed the anti-PKI massacres in Indonesia rank as one of the worst mass murders of the 20Th century…")

It must also be noted that, in addition to the CIA, British and Australian intelligence were well aware of events as they transpired.

Time Magazine presented the following account on December 17, 1966 : "Communists, red sympathizers and their families are being massacred by the thousands. Backlands army units are reported to have executed thousands of communists after interrogation in remote jails. Armed with wide-bladed knives called parangs, Moslem bands crept at night into the homes of communists, killing entire families and burying their bodies in shallow graves."

"The murder campaign became so brazen in parts of rural East Java, that Moslem bands placed the heads of victims on poles and paraded them through villages. The killings have been on such a scale that the disposal of the corpses has created a serious sanitation problem in East Java and Northern Sumatra where the humid air bears the reek of decaying flesh. Travelers from those areas tell of small rivers and streams that have been literally clogged with bodies."

Keep in mind that the US now controls all the oil from those regions as well as Canada, Alaska, and Iraq, Saudi Arabia and various other Mid East countries.

Now it is time to secure oil from Iran, which holds the second largest supply in the Mid East. Iran also controls the ”Strait of Hormuz,” which is the vital shipping route for all oil from the Mid East to the world. There are strategic problems involved with attacking Iran which I have already outlined in my last article at http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/articles.php?artno=2083
Please read it for a full understanding of what is going to happen and why. Then continue with this article.

CONTINUED: Now that you know a few reasons why Venezuela is so important to the future of the U.S., lets take a closer look at why the U.S. is amassing incredible debt, (Over 54 trillion dollars, which can never be repaid http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200711/NAT20071108b.html
Federal Liabilities Now Equal $175,000 for Every American

Dollar Crisis: None dare call it 'conspiracy'
), complete with newly printed Amero Dollars, circumventing the U.S. constitution with new laws which have given President Bush dictatorial powers (which will be invoked when needed), ignoring the Geneva Convention Rules, pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens, creating a military police state, eliminating personal freedoms and privacy, ignoring Supreme Court decisions, invoking Executive Privilege when confronted, caught, or subpoenaed, building over 700 secret prison camps and completely destroying its image and sowing seeds of hatred worldwide. And the U.S. administration, led by George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and an extremely dangerous group of others are not one bit concerned or worried. The big question everyone should be asking about all of this, as I have been doing for years, is WHY??? ( Remember when Vice President Cheney said “The U.S. deficit and world debt is unimportant.” Keep reading to understand WHY. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/14/morton.deficit/index.html?iref=newssearch
Cheney says deficits don`t matter, CNN



There are a host of things which analysts from every sector agree on. The US is in Iraq and will be there for decades. The attack on Iran complete with regime change is absolutely necessary for the U.S. to remain world Superpower. This war with Iran can not and will not be won without the use of Nuclear Weapons. Using nukes on Iran will cause a regional war in the entire Middle East which could last for decades. This will cause the current U.S. economy to collapse, causing a violent civil war and revolution (people against people and against the government) within the US. The prison camps will be filled to capacity with the poor and middle class who disagree with the government and ironically those who fight the system of military police state will be forced to work in military complexes building more bombs and weapons for their elected leaders to use for their protection from the ‘’Terrorists’’ who were created by the US government.

The economic collapse will encapsulate the entire planet with the most severe consequences being in First World industrialized countries effectively paralyzing and preventing any country from even considering a military strike or confrontation with the U.S. Attacking the U.S. is a suicide mission and any country capable of inflicting major damage is smart enough to know they have no possibility of winning and will not attempt it. World War 3 is highly unlikely, (BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE), and the US is betting on this. So what will be the outcome?

The U.S. today controls almost all the oil on the planet, who gets it, how much they get, how much they pay for it and what currency is used to buy it, with the exception of Iran and Venezuela. Creating the Middle East regional war will put the U.S. in control of that entire area, including Iran, but they must accept an economic collapse to do so. Of course all other countries will also be in a state of collapse, with civil wars, revolutions, etc., but since the US has planned this from the beginning decades ago, it will be the only nation able to cope with the circumstances because they know in advance what will happen and when.

With the coming of the global economic collapse most First World and some Third World countries will not only be involved with their own problems of civil wars and revolutions inside their countries, but most areas will erupt into regional war for control of needed resources, even Europe. The corrupt leaders of stronger countries will see this not only as a fight for survival but an opportunity to conquer neighboring lands as they had always wanted. How does the U.S. emerge from this global war as victorious and where does Venezuela fit into the Empire’s evil plans?

This entire scenario of war and economic collapse globally is designed to coincide exactly with the planned implementation of the “North American Union,” ( http://www.infowars.com/articles/nwo/nau_globalists_to_formally_propose_us_canada_mexico_merger.htm
Globalists To Formally Propose Merger Of U.S., Canada, Mexico North American Union), which is scheduled to take place in 2008. Most important is the timing as it is critical that this all happens before the 2008 Presidential elections in the U.S. With the new laws which President Bush has just put into effect it is possible for him to take complete control of the U.S. government, on a federal, state, and local level, invoke martial law, cancel elections and become the first U.S. dictator in the event of any national emergency. ( http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_2255.shtml
Will Bush cancel the 2008 election?)
If there is a funny part to all of this it has to be that the poor idiots who are just as corrupt as the present administration, who are running for President in 2008, are wasting their time…There will not be another election in the US. If anyone thinks the Bush-Cheney group have gone to this much trouble in the past 8 years just to let some new bunch of crooks come in and reverse all their hard work, they are living in a dream. (Special note: In the event that Bush, Cheney or any other public official leaves office for any reason, nothing will change and the wars will continue...It has been planned and nothing can stop it.)

Now, the world is at war, Bush is at the helm, what next? How does the U.S. survive? Implementing the North American Union strengthens US forces militarily and economically. The U.S. dollar has collapsed and all countries holding U.S. debt have lost trillions which reinforces the global collapse in Russia, China, etc. This also relieves the U.S. of all prior debt. This plan is just as effective as someone declaring bankruptcy to eliminate their debt. (Naturally, this U.S. bankruptcy will be blamed on “terrorists,” which will justify even more wars in the future.)

China has since the end of the cold war with Russia become the only real threat to US supremacy and the US has always known this. All along China has been quietly and covertly planning to first kill the U.S. economically by enticing American corporations to move their operations to China which the Chinese believed was hurting the American economy and this is true to an extent but was all part of the US plan. China was well aware of American Greed and played this to their advantage for over 40 years but U.S. politicians and think tanks were aware of China’s plan. Everyone has always wondered why US politicians did not stand up and make laws forbidding outsourcing most American jobs. Simply because this was not in US interest in the long run. US politicians made billions on this in the process also from payments by China lobby groups and Chinese companies. (It was a trap for china and has worked perfectly.) What the politicians did do is force China to buy trillions of dollars in U.S. treasuries and other now worthless securities to assure the Chinese got the contracts from the big corporations which they thought was slowly crippling the U.S. economy. Banks and financial institutions in England and the U.S. are collapsing as I am writing this and other countries will follow soon because the U.S. allowed the sale of Billions of dollars of securities which were thought by foreign banks to be AAA rated and government guaranteed, but now are worthless. Many more European banks are set to start failing within a few months who all are holding these worthless us investments. Brazil, India, and other countries have also enjoyed the benefits of our greedy outsourcing but that will soon come to an abrupt end and when the dust has settled from the imminent collapse everything will say made in the North American Union. All industry will return from overseas and the U.S. will have plenty of Mexicans willing to do the cheap labor just as the Chinese, Indians, Brazilians, and others are doing now. Imports will be almost non-existent and U.S. exports will once again support the country. (Is the Bush administration pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens starting to make sense now?) The US will soon need those cheap laborers!

NOTE: Illegal aliens and the poor and middle class Americans who are willing to work as slave labor for corporate America will be allowed a certain amount of freedom, but those who rebel and revolt or even dare to criticize the government will find new homes in one of the FEMA ran prison camps and will be working in the military industrial complexes building more weapons or forced to join the military and fight the U.S. wars.

The Amero dollar is born. The U.S. economy is virtually the only economy anywhere, ( just as it was after WW2 when the US Dollar became the world currency), and the US has sufficient oil for itself, which it has been controlling and hoarding for decades but wait, the rest of the world is begging for oil now and the U.S. only has enough for itself so what is the solution?

Venezuela has plenty of oil but Chavez is hoarding it or giving it away to enemies of the US. Chavez is now deemed a “Terrorist” and must be eliminated for the betterment of the New World Order. The fact that the U.S. now has more military stationed in Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, and other Latin American countries surrounding Venezuela than all the Latin American countries federal agencies combined is no surprise. Curacao is now reported to be a major US military base with missiles pointed at Venezuela. There are also around 4,000 CIA operatives reportedly working inside Venezuela organizing the opposition to President Chavez and are working on causing Zulia state, the oil producing area, to secede from Venezuela, possibly to be taken over by Colombia or operate as an independent Nation [again?] with a leader who is controlled by the U.S.

When the U.S. has successfully eliminated all competition for world dominance and the world once again depends on the U.S. it will be very easy to garner support from all countries to secure the Venezuelan oil, eliminate a Terrorist Dictator and bring freedom and democracy to all of Latin America, by military intervention, bombing, genocide and whatever means are necessary to protect U.S. interest and National Security. At this point not only U.S. interest will be at stake, but world survival will be the question and with Venezuela holding the oil needed, what will be the consequences for Venezuela?

With America safely in control of all the oil they need but the Middle East oil not flowing due to the regional war there will be a world oil shortage. This is why Venezuela is the key to this entire plan for US world dominance. Once the U.S. is in control of the vast Venezuelan oil fields it will sell to the highest bidders but strictly on American terms. (At this point oil will be at least $300 a barrel, gasoline $25 a gallon, the oil companies, politicians, and world elite will be making all the money and the middle class will be eliminated or reduced to slavery for the rich ruling class. Does this sound like fun?)

(THE KEY: The U.S. dollar has collapsed and is worth only pennies on the newly formed AMERO dollar. Other countries’ currencies are totally worthless, so the only choice any country has is to exchange the old U.S. dollars at maybe 6 cents for the new AMERO dollars, which they will need to buy their oil and U.S. export goods.) Naturally all the countries the U.S. helps to reestablish their economy will have to agree to U.S. military presence, trade agreements, and to become U.S. allies in the never ending ”War On Terror.”

Now for the big question everyone is asking or should be asking. Is it possible to avoid the scenario which I have presented? To tell you the truth, I do not know, but I do know that President Chavez is trying to tell you all, and I mean Americans, Venezuelans, and people from all countries that only two choices exist. Stand and Fight the Empire now or kneel down, accept defeat and live your lives Terrorized by evil, corrupt, rich people forever, just as you have always done.

The fact that world leaders and their people are listening to Chavez is reason enough for the regime change in Venezuela whether by another coup or assassination, but the need for oil will cause a full military invasion.

If you still are having a problem understanding why Chavez is fighting so hard to bring socialism vs. capitalism to Venezuela and risking his own life to fight the Empire, please remember this: The U.S. system of government is based on capitalism which has allowed the 3 richest men in the world to have 3 times more wealth than the 48 poorest Nations on the planet combined, including Latin America and that in those poorest Nations over 30,000 children die of starvation and disease every day. Any of these richest men could solve this problem but in a capitalist system where Greed is a lifestyle, this is not going to happen. Also less than 2% of the people on earth have over 50% of the money on earth while over 50% of the people have less than 1% of the money. 2.5 Billion People on earth live on less than $2 a day.

I am not giving away state secrets in this report. Many people have figured out what is happening, including the world leaders. China, Russia and almost all countries are trying to sell off all U.S. assets but must do it slowly and in a clandestine manner to avoid causing their own economies to collapse prematurely. It has been estimated by top financial analysts that this slow sell off could be accomplished in less than 2 years which would be a disaster for the U.S. ( http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews.asp?nid=49620
Chinese $ Sell-Off Rumors Triggers Concern, Rash of Conspiracy Reports )
The U.S. is well aware of this and is pushing to escalate their own agenda ahead of China, Russia, etc. China and Russia are both putting 100% effort into cyber warfare and military arms buildup but it is too little, too late and when all else is lost they may just be crazy enough to make one final effort and push the nuke buttons. WW3 is possible and could happen any day now. I can not imagine Russia and China being good losers, can you?

A famous U.S. president once said ''Nothing in politics happens by accident''. All the insane things you see the US administration and other countries doing is no accident but is part of the over all plan.

A few Examples: The U.S. did not just recently realize that all these imports from China are dangerous or violate U.S. laws. They have always known this, but by the recent recalls on thousands of products made in China, the U.S. is just letting them know that the U.S. is still in control and can shut Chinese business down at any time by simply enforcing U.S. laws pertaining to product safety, which have always been overlooked but still exist if needed. The recent meeting of Bush with the Dalai Lama is just another way of letting China know who is the boss. Bringing up the 90 year old genocide charges against Turkey was not necessary for any reason except to inflame tensions in the Middle East and bringing ex-president Bhutto back to Pakistan was another step in creating more tensions and problems in the region. The recent bombing of Syria by Israel was another. Threatening to divide Iraq into political sections is of course impossible but inflames tensions which works perfectly into U.S. plans. Leaking out the news about the Blackwater security company killing innocent Iraqi citizens is another example. Blackwater and other mercenaries have been murdering people around the world for years with immunity and without press coverage. The missile defense shield Bush is trying to install on the Russian border to supposedly protect Europe from attack by Iran is absolutely ridiculous and Putin knows it is just another attempt by the U.S. to assert its dominance over Russia. I could give you hundreds more examples but I hope you get the point already. You will probably see many more seemingly insane things happening all around the world, mostly instigated by the U.S., but remember, it is all political, well planned, and not accidental.

Looking at this realistically, the U.S. must execute their plan within less than one year and I would bet they will not cut it that close, probably within six months or less. This is how much time you have to either try to stop it or prepare yourself and your family for a global economic collapse and/or WW3. Personally, I believe preparation is the best choice as what has been planned by world superpowers competing for world supremacy for decades cannot be stopped.

The plan I have outlined was never perfect, has had many setbacks, many detours and many mistakes made in implementing, but overall it is still working and I see no hope that it will be abandoned. It is only a matter of a short time left for the final inevitable showdown by world superpowers and for the U.S. to retain its position as world superpower or become just another 3rd world country... Which would you bet on happening?

I have researched,studied, interpreted and analysed them all and put all their findings together in one article which you have just read. Please take it seriously.

Economic Expert Says Global Crash Imminent

Stiglitz warned that the signs were there with plummeting real estate prices in the U.S., stating that a global economic depression could only be avoided if a correction was made.

But no correction will be made because the World Bank/IMF/Globalist doctrine betrays a focused agenda to deliberately foment economic turmoil, riots, and then enforced bondage to eternal debt. We have witnessed this time and time again, their own documents even confirm this as the chosen method of social control.

The shareholders of Federal Reserve, part of the same group of elite families that owns the bank of England, created the IMF and World bank to siphon government funds. Then they effectively steal the real assets of the third world countries that take their loans in some cases at 42% interest. These global loan sharks secure the water, power and roads which are then handed over to private, piratical, letter of mark companies.

I J NOTE: We have been preaching this exactly for years, just as thousands of others have. Maybe now that a person with high level credentials has said it, someone may listen and believe it.

Coup D'Etat Rumblings in Venezuela

The Bush administration tried and failed three prior times to oust Hugo Chavez since its first aborted two-day coup attempt in April, 2002. Through FOIA requests, lawyer, activist and author Eva Golinger uncovered top secret CIA documents of US involvement that included an intricate financing scheme involving the quasi-governmental agency, National Endowment of Democracy (NED), and US Agency for International Development (USAID). The documents also showed the White House, State Department and National Security Agency had full knowledge of the scheme, had to have approved it, and there's little doubt of CIA involvement as it's always part of this kind of dirty business. What's worrying now is what went on then may be happening again in what looks like a prelude to a fourth made-in-Washington attempt to oust the Venezuelan leader that must be monitored closely as events develop.

I J NOTE: As political journalist based in Venezuela we fully support this article as truth.

America's Invisible Empire

The American imperial empire has remained largely invisible: only very recently have Americans just begun to learn about their imperial history. But information about empire is fragmented and extensively filtered and the American public remains by and large unaware of the reality and costs of empire. Until empire is placed on the public agenda, it can never be effectively criticised or made an object of basic policy change. David Ludden

Suffer the Children

Number of children dying higher than when the country was under sanctions.

By Hind al-Safar in Baghdad

11/16/07 "ICR" No. 237, 16-Nov-07 -- Child mortality in Iraq has spiralled because of the tense security situation, deteriorating health services and lack of medical supplies, say experts.

According to a report released in May 2007 by aid agency Save the Children, “Iraq’s child mortality rate has increased by a staggering 150 per cent since 1990, more than any other country.”

The report, entitled State of the World’s Mothers 2007, said that some 122,000 Iraqi children - the equivalent of one in eight - died in 2005, before reaching their fifth birthday. More than half of the deaths were among newborn babies in their first month of life.

IJ NOTE: There is no doubt by any rational, half intelligent person that this suffering is caused by the US obsession with oil as a means to live the American Dream and remain world superpower.

Knowing that, take a look around you right now and just try to find one item in the room which was not created or delivered by the use of oil. Now, who`s fault is it that these Iraqi kids are suffering and dying???

A better question; What are you going to do about it???

Paying The Price: Killing The Children Of Iraq

Sanctions enforced by the UN on Iraq since the Gulf War have killed more people than the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945, including over half a million children - many of whom weren't even born when the Gulf War began.

Iraq: Call an air strike

Amid the George W Bush administration's relentless campaign to "change the subject" from Iraq to Iran, how to "win" the war against the Iraqi resistance, Sunni or Shi'ite, now means - according to counter-insurgency messiah General David Petraeus - calling an air strike.

On a parallel level, the Pentagon has practically finished a base in southern Iraq less than 10 kilometers from the border with Iran called Combat Outpost Shocker. The Pentagon maintains this is for the US to prevent Iranian weapons from being smuggled into Iraq. Rather, it's to control a rash of US covert, sabotage operations across the border targeting Iran's Khuzestan province.

On the Eve of Destruction

Don’t worry, the White House is telling us. The world’s most powerful leader was simply making a rhetorical point.

That is certainly some rhetorical point, especially coming from the man singularly most capable of making such an event reality.

A Revolution is Just Below the Surface

On September 21, 2007, I had the extraordinary opportunity to interview Noam Chomsky in his office at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The interview will be aired on Venezuelan and Latin American television as part of the promotion for the III International Book Fair in Venezuela, which this year focuses on the theme: "United States: Is Revolution Possible?" The transcription of the interview follows.

CFR's Hart Suggests False Flag Event For Iran War

Council on Foreign Relations member Gary Hart , famed for stating that Americans will die en- mass on home soil this century, and for declaring 48 hours after 9/11 that it should be used "to carry out a new world order", has written a scathing letter to the leaders of Iran clearly warning that the U.S. government has a history of staging provocations in order to initiate conflict with other nations and that Iran could be next.

Bush’s Fake Sheik Whacked: The Surge and the Al Qaeda Bunny

A special investigative report from inside Iraq
By Greg Palast

09/17/07 "ICH" -- -- Monday, September 17, 2007- Did you see George all choked up? In his surreal TV talk on Thursday, he got all emotional over the killing by Al Qaeda of Sheik Abu Risha, the leader of the new Sunni alliance with the US against the insurgents in Anbar Province, Iraq.

Bush shook Abu Risha's hand two weeks ago for the cameras. Bush can shake his hand again, but not the rest of him: Abu Risha was blown away just hours before Bush was to go on the air to praise his new friend.

Here's what you need to know that NPR won't tell you.

1. Sheik Abu Risha wasn't a sheik.
2. He wasn't killed by Al Qaeda.
3. The new alliance with former insurgents in Anbar is as fake as the sheik - and a murderous deceit.

Greenspan Working To Destroy US Economy

Over the past few days Alan Greenspan has appeared in every major financial publication to explain exactly what is going to happen to the economy and what the next steps should be, while also deriding the Neocon administration for the current downturn. For this he has been lauded as some form of economic savior, yet a cursory examination of the facts reveals that the economic decline has long been in the pipeline and Greenspan and his ilk operate under the influence of those who continue to engineer the slow meltdown.

The Greatest Story Never Told

No issue is more sensitive in the US than daring to criticize Israel. It's the metaphorical "third rail" in American politics, academia and the major media. Anyone daring to touch it pays dearly as the few who tried learned. Those in elected office face an onslaught of attacks and efforts to replace them with more supportive officials. Former five term Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney felt its sting twice in 2002 and 2006. So did 10 term Congressman Paul Findley (a fierce and courageous Israeli critic) in 1982 and three term Senator Charles Percy in 1984 whom AIPAC targeted merely for appearing to support anti-Israeli policy.

NOTE: This is yet more proof that the MSM can not be trusted.

USAID in Bolivia and Venezuela: The Silent Subversion

The United States government has almost perfected a method of intervention that is able to penetrate and infiltrate all sectors of civil society in a country which it deems to be of economic and strategic interest. In the case of Venezuela, this strategy began to take form in 2002, with the increase in financing of sectors of the opposition via the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the opening of an Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) of USAID in Caracas.

Chavez Warns that Bolivia is Being Destabilized by U.S. Just as Venezuela

Caracas, September 10, 2007 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Flanked by Bolivian President Evo Morales, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned of a plan financed by the United States to derail the democratically elected government of Bolivia, including a plan to assassinate Morales, said Chavez during his weekly television program Aló Presidente.

“I hold responsible the president of the United States, George Bush, for what could happen to compañero Morales, because they are conspiring against the government, including to kill him,” he said.

During the broadcast Chavez also spoke of his offer to mediate peace negotiations in neighboring Columbia between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC), saying he would travel to territory controlled by the FARC, if necessary, "I'm willing to go into the deepest part of the largest jungle to talk with Marulanda."

"I have faith that we will succeed. Nobody said it would be easy,” he added.

Cheney Orders Corporate Media to Sell Iran Attack

“They [the source’s institution] have ‘instructions’ (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day,” Packer quotes Rubin, “it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don’t think they’ll ever get majority support for this—they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is ‘plenty.’”

Drudge Barks, TV News Bites

Thank you, Matt Drudge, for providing us all with a brief respite from what might have otherwise been yet another ho-hum August day of campaign reporting. Because who cares what candidates are saying about Iraq or Cuba or assault rifles when “OBAMA WIFE SLAMS HILLARY?” (as Drudge casually wondered aloud across the top of his web site yesterday morning). Cat fight!

Drudge linked his teaser to a Chicago Sun-Times column in which a line from a recent Michelle Obama stump speech—”…if you can’t run your own house, you can’t run the White House”—was referenced sans context along with the suggestion (Drudge bait!) by columnist Jennifer Hunter that it “could be interpreted as a swipe at Hillary Clinton.” Drudge linked.

America and Venezuela: Constitutional Worlds Apart

Although imperfect, no country anywhere is closer to a model democracy than Venezuela under President Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias. In contrast, none is a more shameless failure than America, but it was true long before the age of George W. Bush. The difference under his regime is that the mask is off revealing a repressive state masquerading as a democratic republic. This article compares the constitutional laws of each country and how they're implemented. The result shows world's apart differences between these two nominally democratic states - one that's real, impressive and improving and the other that's mostly pretense and under George Bush lawless, corrupted, in tatters, and morally depraved.

After the 1987 stock market crash, President Reagan authorized the creation of the PWG—consisting of the Treasury secretary, the Fed chair, and the heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, so that top regulators and economic policy chiefs could formally consult with one another in event of a financial crisis as well as prepare a plan of action in case of a financial markets meltdown. For instance, it might advise the president to temporarily close the markets, as happened after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Note: This article proves quite a few conspiracy theories; First, that the Plunge protection team exist, second , that the President is in charge of it, third, that all nations and world banking groups who injected billions ( almost half a trillion dollars) know about it and are part of the conspiracy, fourth, that all these people are working together to cover up their own corruption and/or incompetence.

US-Iran Policy Dynamics

Do we not have the right to invade and destroy a foreign country? Of course we do. That's a given. The only question is: Will the surge work? Or some other tactic? Perhaps this catastrophe is costing us too much. And those are the limits of the debates among the presidential candidates, the Congress and the media, with rare exceptions. That's part of the reason the debates are so inconclusive. The basic issues are not discussable.

The Washington Post’s Bias Against Democracy in Latin America

In the 1980s the Washington Post honed an editorial page style to attack the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua that involved complex and convoluted editorials weaving half truths, total lies, innuendo, and unsupported speculation. These editorials were impossible to respond to with letters to the editor limited to 200 words. The “big lie” strategy is effective because to respond with the truth takes even more words than the original lie.

The Washington Post is now using the “big lie” strategy against the Bolivarian process in Venezuela and its democratically elected president Hugo Chavez. An editorial on August 17, 2007 is a textbook example of this strategy. It is entitled “Cash-and-Carry Rule” with a sub heading “Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez cements his autocracy with petrodollars and another push for ‘reform.’”

The US Venezuela Solidarity Network offers this sentence by sentence deconstruction of the Washington Post editorial as a public service to educate serious readers on important issues of US-Venezuela relations and the campaign to derail the process in Venezuela to use its oil wealth for the benefit of its poor majority.

ON BORROWED TIME

HOW DID THIS ALL COME ABOUT? A (bearish) hedge-fund operator, in a letter to his investors, describes how a senior Wall Street marketing director recounted the genesis of the current situation:

"'Real money' (U.S. insurance companies, pension funds, etc.) accounts had stopped purchasing mezzanine tranches of U.S. Subprime debt in late 2003 and [Wall Street] needed a mechanism that could enable them to 'mark up' these loans, package them opaquely, and EXPORT THE NEWLY PACKAGED RISK TO UNWITTING BUYERS IN ASIA AND CENTRAL EUROPE!!!!

"He told me with a straight face that these CDOs were the only way to get rid of the riskiest tranches of subprime debt. Interestingly enough, these buyers (mainland Chinese banks, the Chinese Government, Taiwanese banks, Korean banks, German banks, French banks, U.K. banks) possess the 'excess' pools of liquidity around the globe. These pools are basically derived from two sources: 1) massive trade surpluses with the U.S. in U.S. dollars, 2) petrodollar recyclers. These two pools of excess capital are U.S. dollar-denominated and have had a virtually insatiable demand for U.S. dollar-denominated debt...until now."

These investors then had standing orders on Wall Street desks for any U.S. debt rated triple-A. Through the "alchemy of CDOs" and "the help of the ratings agencies," the CDO managers collected triple-B and triple-B-minus subprime and repackaged them so the top tier got paid out first. Then leverage the lower mezzanine tranches by 10-20 times and, "POOF...you magically have 80% of the structure rated 'AAA' by the ratings agencies, despite the underlying collateral being a collection of BBB and BBB- rated assets."

The letter concludes: "This will go down as one of the biggest financial illusions the world has EVER seen."

And to think it's all played out is even more laughable.

History Channel Fraudsters Pass Off Joke Website as Representative Of 9/11

As part of a catalogue of dirty tricks employed to smear the truth movement in its 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction special, The History Channel used screenshots of an inane parody website and passed it off as representative of people asking questions about the official story.

Return of the Robber Barons

As the Bush Regime outfits B-2 stealth bombers with 30,000 pound monster “bunker buster” bombs for its coming attack on Iran, the US economy continues its 21st century decline. While profits soar for the armaments industry, the American people continue to take it on the chin.

Will Bush cancel the 2008 election?

It is time to think about the "unthinkable."

The Bush administration has both the inclination and the power to cancel the 2008 election.

The GOP strategy for another electoral theft in 2008 has taken clear shape, though we must assume there is much more we don't know.

But we must also assume that if it appears to Team Bush/Cheney/Rove that the GOP will lose the 2008 election anyway (as it lost in Ohio 2006), we cannot ignore the possibility that they would simply cancel the election. Those who think this crew will quietly walk away from power are simply not paying attention.

The great biofuel fraud

That bowl of Kellogg's cornflakes on the breakfast table or the portion of pasta or corn tortillas, cheese or meat on the dinner table is going to rise in price over the coming months as sure as the sun rises in the East. Welcome to the new world food-price shock, conveniently timed to accompany the current world oil-price shock.

Lawmakers Being Investigated

This is a short list of US politicians who are being investigated on various CORRUPTION charges. There are already 8 others serving time in federal prison and the only reason they are not all there is the others have not stepped on anyones toes yet. If they get too greedy or try to buck the system they too will be cut out of the corruption loop.

Get used to it folks. This is your system of government and justice.

CORPORATE AMERICA: FREEDOM'S GREATEST THREAT

Most of us who believe in the free enterprise system have been taught that business interests normally work to the betterment of America's overall health, both commercially and politically. While there might have been a time when this was true, it is definitely not true today. Not only has Big Business become unfriendly to the principles of freedom, it has also become freedom's greatest threat.

To say that Corporate America is America's greatest threat is a harsh accusation, but one that I believe is warranted. I will even be so bold as to say that freedom has much more to fear from today's Chambers of Commerce than it does from Al Qaida.

Dangers of a Cornered George Bush

The “new” strategy of surging troops in Baghdad has simply wasted more lives and bought some time for the president. His strategy boils down to keeping as many of our soldiers engaged as possible, in order to stave off definitive defeat in Iraq before January 2009.

Iraq war veteran and experienced demolitions expert blows the cover on 9/11 inside job.

With Torins impressive list of qualifications, his unwavering voice holds a power that shatters the lies of 9/11 sold to us by the government and mainstream media, “The official story we've been told about 9/11 is absolutely, physically impossible.”

The Threat Of Martial Law Is Real

The looming collapse of the US military in Iraq, of which a number of generals and former generals, including former Chief of Staff Colin Powell, have warned, is happening none too soon, as it my be the best hope for preventing military rule here at home.

From the looks of things, the Bush/Cheney regime has been working assiduously to pave the way for a declaration of military rule, such that at this point it really lacks only the pretext to trigger a suspension of Constitutional government. They have done this with the active support of Democrats in Congress, though most of the heavy lifting was done by the last, Republican-led Congress.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note from Corruption Crusaders: While we agree fully with most of this article about how Bush and Cheney have set up the laws to allow martial law and about the probability of another terrorist event, manufactured or real, to instigate it, we do not agree that the military will fail to respond to orders from the President.

In the event of another 911 incident the military and police as well as the majority of the American people will have little choice but to look to their government for help. They all have been pre-conditioned to do this from birth.

Remember that over 50,000 troops died in Viet Nam and the US economy did not collapse and the military and police followed orders. This time the economy WILL COLLAPSE, the country will be in chaos and most people will either support the military and police or become victims of criminals or be sent off to a prison camp for treason and subversion. The worse the situation becomes, the more the people will seek help from elected officials, military and police.

The government already knows this and will not be afraid to announce martial law and a dictatorship in the name of national security and American interest.

America’s Tomorrow

The intrusion by the corporatist state will define our existence in our daily lives. Propaganda posters will line the streets and public spaces; surveillance cameras will watch our every move. Project Echelon and its offspring will monitor our phone calls, emails, faxes and conversations; through our fingerprints, DNA and iris scanning the state will be aware of our movements at all times. National psychology examinations for children will be made mandatory, with those deemed ‘troubled’ forced to take certain prescription drugs, made to attend special schools, creating a caste system of undesirables through genetic and social engineering. Through the use of television we will be told what to think and what reality is. Our children will be forced into conscription, trained to become soldiers of fortune in wars against East Asia, Middle Asia and South America. The end of privacy as we know it will arrive with the insertion of cameras into our homes, used to monitor our daily lives and record our most intimate moments.

President Chavez Announces Construction of 15 New Hospitals in Venezuela

Mérida, July 26, 2007 (venezuelanalysis.com)— Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced the construction of 15 new hospitals across the country at an event in Caracas yesterday. The new hospitals, along with the remodeling of existing hospitals, make up the third and fourth phases of the Barrio Adentro (Inside the Barrio) health program. The Chavez government’s social programs, such as Barrio Adentro, have benefited nearly 50 percent of Venezuelan households according to a recent survey.

New Study Says Venezuelan Economy to Continue to Boom

Washington, DC: A new paper from the Center for Economic and Policy Research looks at the Venezuelan economy during the last eight years and finds that it does not fit the mold of an "oil boom headed for a bust," as is commonly believed.

"There's no obvious end in sight for Venezuela's current economic expansion," said economist Mark Weisbrot, Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research and co-author of the paper “The Venezuelan Economy in the Chávez Years.”

D.C. Madame: "Big Names" May Be On Client List

As we have highlighted before, mainly Republican self-proclaimed Christian attendees to the annual Bohemian Grove retreat - a kind of summer camp for the elite where policy is formulated without oversight - are routinely "serviced" by gay male porn stars, who are transported in to work as valets, according to a report in the New York Post .

The D.C. Madame scandal is important for several reasons but the core issue is the fact that the majority of high-level public and government officials are embroiled in these kinds of activities, along with even seedier pursuits, and this ensures they are completely compromised and can be politically blackmailed to maintain the status quo, because if it was to fall then they would go down with it.

This strikes at the very root of why the majority in Congress consistently oppose immediate withdrawal from Iraq, a new investigation into 9/11 and the impeachment of Bush and Cheney - because to lend support to such actions would leave them vulnerable to a brutal exposé of whatever skeletons are in their closet.

Palfrey concluded by promising that new developments in the case may emerge within the next few weeks.

Bush's Martial Law Plan Is So Shocking, Even Congress Can't See it

President Bush's post-terror attack martial law plan is so shocking that even sitting members of Congress and Homeland Security officials are barred from viewing it, another example of executive über alles and a chilling portent of what is to come as constant reminders of the inevitability of terror attacks reverberate.

Congressman Peter DeFazio (D - OR) was asked by his constituents to see what was contained within the classified portion of the White House's plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.

The Invisible Government

The title of this talk is Freedom Next Time, which is the title of my book, and the book is meant as an antidote to the propaganda that is so often disguised as journalism. So I thought I would talk today about journalism, about war by journalism, propaganda, and silence, and how that silence might be broken. Edward Bernays, the so-called father of public relations, wrote about an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. He was referring to journalism, the media. That was almost 80 years ago, not long after corporate journalism was invented. It is a history few journalist talk about or know about, and it began with the arrival of corporate advertising. As the new corporations began taking over the press, something called "professional journalism" was invented. To attract big advertisers, the new corporate press had to appear respectable, pillars of the establishment—objective, impartial, balanced. The first schools of journalism were set up, and a mythology of liberal neutrality was spun around the professional journalist. The right to freedom of expression was associated with the new media and with the great corporations, and the whole thing was, as Robert McChesney put it so well, "entirely bogus".
