The importance of understanding history

This is just a point of interest that struck me this morning as I read Polish Wolf’s analysis of the Syrian chemical weapons gambit. It is not a personal attack, as he is young and struggling to understand the world, as we old folks are too. His take is far more sophisticated than others I’ve seen from Democrats, and even hints at forward movement. Progress is slow for all of us.

What struck me was this: In American intellectual culture, all events must be explained without reference to the significance of the JFK assassination and the false-flag nature of 9/11. Given that shortcoming, by necessity such explanations will be laborious and far-fetched. To assume that the American executive has as much power after 11/22/63 as before requires imbuing subsequent occupants of that office with high intellect and character. There have been no men with those qualities since JFK’s death. So it is essential in understanding world and domestic events to elminate democratic governance as a driving force. PW’s closing lines are appeals to current congressional office holders. While essential from his viewpoint, it’s only a faint echo of a time when such people had real power. His whole argument is pointless. He does not understand where the center of power lies. This necessarily follows from his apparent failure to understand or study 11/22/63.

9/11 is similar in that one cannot understand events subsequent without understanding the event itself. And yet the whole of our intellectual culture centers on avoidance of that kind of study. With that deficit apparent, all events are misunderstood. So while it is easily apparent to anyone who understands the meaning of 9/11 that Syria is but another domino that must fall to the bankers and industrialists of the West, those who avoid the subject are forced to construct Rube Goldberg-like explanations. PW claims that the whole of the current intensity of the “crisis” centers on a “blunder” by “Obama.” Understanding 9/11, it’s easier to see Syria as one of many countries lined up for attack that day. The inability (to date) of the American military to bring down that regime, after its successes in Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan and Libya, is encouraging.

Of course we are pressured by propaganda and suggestion to avoid investigating the most important events of our times. Those who brought us those events, our deep state, want us to be asleep, or if awake, ignorant.

A brief history of American use of chemical weapons

This cannot by any means be complete or detailed, but I do want to hit some of the high points of American use and/or approval of use of chemical weapons. The level of hypocrisy in Washington is appalling.

Before I forget, however, isn’t it great that we have elections? The anti-war movement is pretty much dead now because Democrats are making war. Republicans are generally in favor of war, and Democrats oppose Republican wars. George W. Bush’s people had to mount a major scare offensive, complete with the Colin Powell debacle at the UN, to invade Iraq. Democrats then won control of the congress in 2006 by campaigning against the Iraq war. But it turns out they didn’t mean a word of it! But from surface appearances, it seems that we get the same wars with either party. The only difference is the manner in which perceptions are managed.

2+2=5

Everything in the U.S. is the trial of the century. O.J. Simpson’s trial was the trial of the century. Clinton’s trial was the trial of the century. But this is the trial of century, and who’s here? (Barbara Reis, U.S. correspondent for the Lisbon daily Publico, sitting at the 1999 civil trial that found the US government and other parties guilty of conspiracy in the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.)

The war on Syria has been set back, as the fake chemical attack did not convince anyone other than American journalists, by far the most gullible people on the planet. Britain is out, the UN is out, and even France is wavering. Turkey has its own problems, and Egyptian President Morsi was brought down shortly after ordering Egyptian troops to participate with the terrorists and death squads in bringing down the Assad regime.

It’s really, really ugly, man. Obama, a stooge and figurehead, could well have his head lopped after this, figuratively of course (though the assassin’s rifle is always aimed at an American president). The troops have been assembling and hardware lined up for a couple of years now, and the “Red Line” ploy was put in place a year ago to justify a September attack. My guess is that if it does go forward, it will be on September 11, as that day now has a cult-like significance, the feast of the largest false-flag attack ever in the United States. As toothpaste goes, that tube may just about be squeezed dry, but given the current proximity of the forthcoming attack to our national ritualistic orgy of victimhood, the date makes sense.

Snuff film soon to be released by Pentagon?

Rebel armed with freedom-seeking bullets
Rebel armed with freedom-seeking bullets
Imagine this: The US, secretly behind a covert attack by terrorists and death squads on Syria, is also looking for a reason to overtly attack the place, Libya style, sacrificing tens of thousands of innocent people, destroying the country in order to save it. So they announce a “red line,” or use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government, as justification for an attack. It is couched as a warning, but the whole sentient world knows at that very moment that the US is supplying chemical weapons to the death squads, and that there will soon be an incident.

It could happen to anyone

_h353_w628_m6_otrue_lfalseI have been unable to find San Diego’s Mayor Bob Filner’s full statement on resignation, and so have to piece it together with ellipses. But I thought it instructive as he tells us how it works in politics: Many are called, few are chosen. Anyone in office can be scandalized out of office. A scandal can be manufactured, or in this case blown out of proportion by a tooly media and persistent and nagging victims, probably paid off, who might have gotten unsolicited attention from “Pat McCann,” Car Talk’s sexual harassment counselor.

Back in in the US, back in the US, back in the USSR …

HitmenThe tenor of our times can largely be personified in the form of people who walk free, attend banquets, and enjoy easy access to a clueless and compliant media. George (HW and W) Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Barack Obama, David Petraeus, Robert Ford and a host of others are men and women who should be put on trial for war crimes, walk free and enjoy privileged lives. They will never see the inside of a court room, much less a jail, as they live in a system where only injustice is served.

Time sink

If you do not have time to waste, avoid this Reddit thread. It is the first time I have seen a comment thread go viral.

It’s interesting how much of this stuff I already knew:

  • Funeral industry is total scam …
  • Regular and organic milk is taken from same tete
  • … we should avoid touching anything but sheets on bed in a motel.

More interesting stuff is tech talk …

  • Software programmers and doctors relying on Google …
  • Most investment managers living off inside trading …
  • 90% of all tax returns are simple and should be done by the taxpayer. Now it can be told.
  • Mutual funds fees eat the retirement account alive before we ever get to enjoy it. (Stick it in savings and don’t touch it. Even low-interest accounts are better than professionally managed ones.)
  • I too got scammed royal by a local mechanic shop and am embarrassed that I was so trusting. Now I am leery of all mechanics … Duh. Most of the world already knew this.

Much of it has to do with large companies who are double-faced, one prettied up for the public by PR and ad agencies, the other a monster ghoul that bleeds employees because they can’t quit or are easily replaced. I may never go to a restaurant again, but if I do, I will be really nice to everyone there. They not only deserve it anyway, but can also get validation in their own ways.

One intriguing entry has Apple stores acting as money laundering fronts, drug money being used to buy up iPhones that are then resold around the world. Knowingly done. That’s why they are often short on inventory, says the commenter.

It’s a time sink. If you have work to do today, avoid this thread. I stumbled on it last night around 8 PM and did not cover more than a third of it.

Here we go again

[Note to readers: It is important to understand that “news” in the US is put forward by only a few entities, and is not a random process. The major organs are dominated by intelligence agency moles who sit at critical junctures. This situation was first exposed by the Church Committee in the late 1970’s, and has never again been addressed by an official body. So it is safe to assume it still exists. But there is not unanimity behind the scenes as various powerful factions make power plays to achieve unstated objectives, so that the appearance of “news” that is repeated and emphasized to achieve maximum impact (i.e. the Monica Lewinski tabloid scandal) is public notice to one faction that another faction is making a play. Evidence to support this view can be found on any given day in the important stories that do not see light of day, non-barking dogs. So now we have the Snowden affair, which could easily be suppressed and ignored, as are the Kiriakou and Brown incidents. Instead, it is being heavily promoted in mouthpiece news organs.]

The Watergate affair that eventually brought down Richard Nixon was both circus and farce. Imagine this: Highly trained CIA/FBI agents commit a clumsy burglary, almost begging to be caught. There is no apparent purpose for it. The men involved all have shady backgrounds, many in the Bay of Pigs. Two were involved in the Kennedy assassination:

  • E. Howard Hunt, who confessed on his death bed to his son that he was part of it, but only as a “back bencher;”
  • Frank Sturgis, suspected by some in the JFK research community to be one of the gunmen in Dealey Plaza that day.

You feel it, I merely give it a name

We had a very busy weekend, with a mountain hike, hours spent on a large carpentry project (which a real carpenter could knock off in two), a family birthday gathering that consumed all of last evening, and a couple of hours spent watching the movie Wonderland. My wife also handily dispatched me in a game of Super Scrabble.

I only mention all of that because in the midst of all of that, I also spent hours reading about the Boston Marathon bombing and viewing photographs thereof. The photos are of a very high quality, and of course it is easily seen that the events are staged, that there were no real injuries, that crisis actors were used, and any amputees after were amputees before.

I am tempted to go on a long rant about the particulars, but anyone who is curious about it can find that information. Here is just a summary, and I am deliberately limiting myself to 100 words:

There were no destructive devices used that day, no shrapnel or pressure cookers. It appears that the some of the actors were gathered inside the Lens Crafters store, and assembled outside after a loud explosion a couple of stories above. The area is quickly emptied, and “victims” appear. They are laboriously drenched in blood and fitted with devices imitating bloody stumps. “Medical” personnel, indifferent to victims, wander about as the major players are dressed and presented to waiting cameras – Jeff Bauman, Krystie Campbell, Sidney Corcoran, et al. Other victims, not present, will appear in staged hospital scenes. That’s 97 words.

I have more important matters to address:

  • I took time. I spent probably 3-4 hours looking at the visual evidence. But I had to go find it. If I were a typical citizen, I would wait for information to fall in my lap via the television and Huffington Post.
  • This is yet another use of the “conspiracy theory” meme. People are curious, but that curiosity is dulled by mainstream media saturation of the “correct” description of events. Real curiosity is stymied by fear of branding, ridicule and marginalization.
  • What’s with the pictures? Just about every image seen by mainstream viewers was vetted by the Boston Globe, CNN and other palace guards. Yet I was able to look at high quality stills, about 216 of them. If every other outlet is guarded and output heavily censored, why is it so easy for me to find these 216 stills? That’s a real question, not rhetorical. Something is amiss.
  • Man, the power of suggestion. I watched a video of a TV news reporter interviewing a doctor who had supposedly been on the scene helping victims, and the reporter says “Look at you. You’re covered in blood.” But the doctor has not a drop of blood on him.

I have deliberately not linked to anything nor grabbed any images, but easily could. I am not your curiosity. If you have any, you have to feed it yourself. But if you are tempted and stop in your tracks right here, fearing “conspiracy” talk, understand the power of thought control. The fear that stops you from looking further goes by that name.
