    Are World War III Plans About to Backfire?

    David Zuniga 16 Hours Ago
    4 Comments

    It appears that the more than $3.5 trillion that American taxpayers have paid to the war industry since 9/11 is not enough. Reading the Ukraine news lately, we see the age-old pattern: a tiny cohort of insanely wealthy men is attempting to spark World War III using the same tactics they used to spark the first two.
    As commentator Frank Brady posted on The Common Sense Show:

    The hypocrisy of the U.S. government and its propaganda organs is astonishing.

    The usual suspects are ranting that the U.S. should "do something" about the "invasion" of the Ukraine. Indeed, the U.S. should "do something" about this situation. For starters, it should revoke the National Endowment for Democracy's charter, put an end to any funding for it, and permanently halt U.S. meddling in the foreign affairs of other nations under the NED's so-called "NGO" cover. Since its formation in 1983, NED has been directly involved in the overthrow and attempted overthrow of governments in Serbia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iran and, most recently, the Ukraine (this is the second time around for the Ukraine).
    The U.S. should pull the passport of the execrable John McCain who serves as "President" of the "International Republican Institute" (an NED adjunct) and charge him with complicity in the deaths of the many people who have died over the years as a result of this cockroach's subversive and vile interference in the internal affairs of other foreign nations. This criminal went to Kiev on December 13 to help personally light the fires of violence there. Don't believe the propaganda.


    In advance of each industry feeding event that is pushed on America, the cartels put their propaganda operation into high gear with geopolitical gamesmanship and terror-mongering. They deploy the mainstream press (and today, some alternative media) as a python attracts its next pig for a major feeding event.
    Robert Higgs wrote this article twelve years ago, when George W. Bush was conning us all into war against 'terror.' When their puppeteers want us in a war, American presidents have always lied to us to get the windfall they seek.

    Later on, Bush failed in his administration's attempts to spark world war by attacking Iran. But the cartels worked overtime to fuel the Libyan and Ukrainian fire with the same goal in mind: billions in profits.
    This is NOT who we are, fellow Americans. But this is what the war industry is. In this video, learn more about the latest tranche of CIA-orchestrated 'uprisings' around the world. As you watch, remember: this all egregiously violates the U.S. Constitution. It is not only murderous, it is illegal.



    Americans go berserk when they think of Russians or Chinese doing something like this in our neighboring countries, right? So why is plunder of sovereign countries okay for the U.S. war industry to do, and attach all of our names to it?

    Military-Oil-Banking-Media Propaganda

    War has always been big, ruthless business, as we were warned by two prominent military men, Major General Smedley Butler in the 1930s, and General (President) Dwight Eisenhower in the early 1960s. Unfortunately, the wisdom of experienced generals is drowned out by millions of 'warrior moms,' teary-eyed VFW members, and flag-waving GOP acolytes cheering for their team's world bragging rights.
    This well-meaning horde makes it very unpopular to expose the beloved Leviathan. But in the name of Christ our Lord, and truth, we are determined to restore the U.S. Constitution, even at the risk of great unpopularity among selectively emotional folk.
    See how emotionally powerful the military/media propaganda machine can be, in this recent tear-jerker put out by CBS 'News.' Emotional programming overcomes thousands of foreigners killed in their own homes and neighborhoods on behalf of lower oil extraction costs and record oil company profits.

    Death Throes of Dinosaurs

    The war industry has usually attracted new feeding events almost at will, so clearly the unsuccessful attempt to spark war with Iran indicates a fly in the ointment. Despite the elite's ability to craft events and 'news' reporting, the Internet is transforming human relations. While bureaucratic nation-states are stumbling dinosaurs, liberty-loving citizens are growing in tech prowess and can move more quickly than the cartels can.
    Of course, the majority still does nothing but complain and grow cynical. Even when they correctly assess the problem and opportunity, they refuse to take action.
    In his recent essay, Reversal of Fortune: Why the Power Elite Will Lose Power, classical economist and investment advisor Gary North has the TEA Party and conspiracy theorists dead to rights:

    The conspirators are not God. They do not predestinate the world. They are temporary possessors of influence, power, and money because they have adopted a particular view of economic intervention which the general public also believes. They believe the state is the Savior in history. The state is the healer. They believe that the state is the closest thing there is to God walking on earth.
    So do most of the voters. The voters also believe that the state can intervene to protect them. They are beginning to lose this faith, for good reason, but this is what they still believe. This is what they have been taught in public schools for over 100 years. Why should we expect and believe anything different?
    The conspirators and the masses hold the same view of civil government. This view is incorrect. It is going to blow up in the conspirators' faces, and it is going to blow up in the masses' faces. It is a false religion, and it will ultimately produce enormous losses for those who believe in it.
    …They have laid the foundations of this crisis. But they have done so in the Keynesian faith that there will be no crisis. The fact that they have caused past crises does not mean that they planned them.
    ...I hope you understand this. I fear that not many Tea Party supporters do.
    Then what is to be done? …The correct goal is to shrink the state to where it won't matter much who controls it. Shrink the power of the power elite by shrinking the establishment's lever: the state. Any other program is a waste of effort.


    Mr. North's assessment is accurate, but theory without action is also 'a waste of effort.' Writing books or talking for hours each day on a radio show does not improve matters. America needs men of action – and ironically, some of the most courageous, able ones are pledged to the very beast that holds us hostage.

    First Things First

    Before taking on the domestic enemies of our republic, all of us must begin with our personal domestic enemy -- sin. Of course we will never be sinless while we remain on this earth. But we can certainly repent of having allowed our minds, eyes, and ears to dwell on the seven deadly sins rather than the fruits of the Spirit. If we're unwilling to face God in the way we live every day, no further plan of action is necessary. It will avail nothing. Personal repentance is Job One.

    We The People Must Now Change the Game

    In this recent series of blog articles, first we expose the extent of our enemy – ancient cartels that control Washington D.C. yet are invisible to, and out of the control of, the sovereign citizens. We then assess nine solutions proposed over the past 150 years, explaining why they cannot beat the cartels. Finally, we introduce AmericaAgain! and explain why it is a lawful, peaceful, practical, perpetual solution.
    We must not be led into another mega-trillion-dollar windfall for the banking, oil, and war cartels! Instead, we will prepare house by house as we await the inevitable Great Depression II. As the beast falls of its own profound stupidity, most Americans will run for the hills or for their neighbors' pantries; throughout history most people have been followers. In transforming events, God has always used a remnant and that is always enough. Let us pray we are worthy to be in that number.
    When the cataclysm hits, AmericaAgain! members will not be distracted by fabricated wars and other events designed to pull us off target, as we have seen for 150 years. We will tactically embark on a new way of life as responsible sovereigns, superintending justice at last using the AmericaAgain! Indictment Engine™. In this way, through our State criminal courts, We The People will directly superintend the cartels' key puppets – the U.S. Congress – by which they have ruthlessly ruled earth for a century.
    By God's grace, we will not merely shrink the cartels' control over our lives -- we will utterly destroy it.
    If God should bless America with such a boon, we must give Him thanks and praise. In light of the terrible distractions in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere -- if publicly giving thanks to God embarrasses us, then that is the true root of America's accelerating collapse.

    The Tanks Are Coming While Russia, US "Remain At Odds" Over Ukraine

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/14/2014 19:50 -0400


    With Interfax reporting that Belarus has begun full-scale military drills in a "readiness check", images from Russia and Ukraine suggest the worst-case scenario - that Russia is making preparations to invade Ukraine, not just Crimea but perhaps as far west as Kharkiv, or even beyond - is more possible. Talks have broken down:

    • *LAVROV SAYS RUSSIA, U.S. REMAIN AT ODDS ON UKRAINE: INTERFAX
    • *LAVROV SAYS RUSSIA TO RESPECT `WILL' OF CRIMEAN PEOPLE



    Russia now has a massive force of tanks, troops, artillery, aircraft, and naval forces in position to potentially invade mainland Ukraine from Crimea in the south, but also from positions east and north of Ukraine.

    Lavrov adds:

    • *LAVROV SAYS RUSSIA TO RESPECT CHOICE MADE AT CRIMEAN REFERENDUM
    • *LAVROV SAYS KERRY `DIDN'T THREATEN RUSSIA WITH ANYTHING'
    • *LAVROV SAYS WESTERN SANCTIONS WOULD BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE


    And subtley poitning out the hypocrisy:

    • RUSSIA'S LAVROV SAYS IF KOSOVO WAS A SPECIAL CASE THEN CRIMEA SHOULD BE A SPECIAL CASE TOO


    Then Lavrov said this:

    • RUSSIA HAS HAD AND CAN HAVE NO PLANS TO INVADE SOUTHEAST OF UKRAINE - LAVROV


    Which seems to run counter to the following images pouring in from across Russia of even more firepower on the move.

    And images suggest more to come...







    And finally:

    • *LAVROV SAYS `EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT CRIMEA MEANS FOR RUSSIA'


    Which we suspect is why all the tanks are rolling

    Friday (Un)Humor: Navy Warship 'Accidentally' Fires Torpedo At Nuclear Dockyard

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/14/2014 17:30 -0400

    "Had the thing been armed it would have let out a 200-metre blast...You could be talking about a major loss of life," one source noted as The Telegraph reports British military chiefs have launched a major investigation after a Royal Navy warship accidentally fired a torpedo at a nuclear dockyard. Workers watched in disbelief as the tube-shaped projectile flew through the air before blasting a hole in a security fence and slamming into a storage container. "Someone has obviously pushed the button, presumably by accident - the big question is who," as the Royal Navy stiff-upper-lippedly stated "during a training exercise, an inert Test Variant Torpedo unexpectedly jettisoned onto the wharf. There was no explosion and no casualties." Perhaps they should stay away from the Black Sea for a while - just in case.

    Via The Telegraph,

    HMS Argyll was moored at Devonport Naval base in Plymouth when the 9ft missile suddenly shot out of its starboard side during a training drill.

    Workers watched in disbelief as the tube-shaped projectile flew through the air before blasting a hole in a security fence and slamming into a storage container.

    The torpedo was an unarmed version used for testing drills so it merely thudded into the metal container and did not explode.

    Nobody was hurt but shocked Navy bosses ordered an urgent investigation into the incident that took place inside a high security area where Britain's nuclear submarines are refuelled and repaired.

    ...
    The comments from onlookers are stunning and perhaps somewhat comical:

    "The torpedo came shooting out of the side of Argyll and flew through the air before going straight through a security fence.

    "It's carried on going before hitting a storage container. If anyone was inside it they would have a had a nasty shock - the whole side of the container was stoved in.

    "Had the thing been armed it would have let out a 200-metre blast. You could be talking about a major loss of life.

    "The Navy guys and the civilian dock workers are understandably appalled by what has happened.

    "Someone has obviously pushed the button, presumably by accident - the big question is who."

    The Navy stated:

    "We can confirm an incident occurred onboard HMS Argyll on Wednesday 12th. The ship was alongside at Devonport Naval Base in Plymouth.

    "During a training exercise, an inert Test Variant Torpedo unexpectedly jettisoned onto the wharf. There was no explosion and no casualties.

    "An investigation is now under way to determine the cause of the incident. The torpedo is not an explosive hazard.

    "The specific details of the incident are subject to further investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further.

    Adding that...

    torpedo system test firing alongside in the naval base has been suspended subject to completion of the investigation

    Let's just delay any torpedo-testing until this whole Russia-Ukraine thing blows over, eh?

    Most Say U.S. Should ‘Not Get Too Involved’ in Ukraine Situation


    By a roughly two-to-one margin (56% vs. 29%), the public says it is more important for the U.S. to not get involved in the situation with Russia and Ukraine than to take a firm stand against Russian actions.

    Most of this group – 19% of the public overall – said the U.S. should consider only political and economic options in addressing the situation, while just 8% of the public think that military options should be considered.

    Just 16% of Republicans and smaller shares of Democrats and independents (5% each) say that military options should be considered.

    Crimea Will Formally Apply To Join Russia Tomorrow After 95.5% Support Referendum; US, UK, EU Reject Results

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2014 14:12 -0400

    UPDATE: While earlier exit polls indicated strong support, the preliminary results are now being announced:


    • *CRIMEA TO JOIN RUSSIA BACKED BY 95.5%: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
    • *CRIMEA TO REMAIN IN UKRAINE BACKED BY 3.5%: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

    Crimea will apply tomorrow to join Russia:

    Crimea's regional government will make a formal application today to join the Russian Federation, the local pro-Moscow leader said on Twitter after a disputed referendum to break away from Ukraine.

    "The Supreme Soviet of Crimea will make an official application for the republic to join the Russian Federation at a meeting on March 17," Sergiy Aksyonov said in a tweet.
    The celebrations are widespread throughout Crimea:



    Putin and Obama have spoken:

    • *PUTIN SPOKE TO OBAMA BY PHONE, KREMLIN WEBSITE SAYS
    • *KREMLIN SAYS PUTIN-OBAMA CALL INITIATED BY U.S. SIDE
    • *PUTIN TOLD OBAMA KIEV REGIME UNABLE TO CURB ULTRANATIONALSTS
    • *PUTIN TOLD OBAMA CRIMEA VOTE FULLY MET INTERNATIONAL NORMS
    • *PUTIN SAID NEED TO JOINTLY SEEK SOLUTION FOR STABLE UKRAINE


    And then this:

    • *KREMLIN SAYS OBAMA CONGRATULATED PUTIN ON SOCHI PARALYMPICS


    With a voter turnout (79.09%) that exceeded every US Presidential election since 1900, the people of Crimea have spoken:

    • *CRIMEA JOINING RUSSIA BACKED BY 93% OF VOTERS: EXIT POLL
    • *U.K. FOREIGN SECRETARY: U.K. WON'T RECOGNIZE CRIMEAN REFERENDUM

    Ukraine's leaders have called up 20,000 men for a newly-created National Guard as despite the so-called "truce" Russian APCs and Tanks are rolling. Pro-Russian supporters are burning books in Donetsk after storming anti-Russian buildings. The White House is already out rejecting the vote (before the final results are released).
    Voter Turnout (by region):



    As exit polls confirm overhwleming support for Crimea to join Russia...


    • Exit poll by Crimea-based Republican Institute for Political and Sociological Studies released by Kryminform news service.
    • 93% of voters back joining Russia: exit poll









    Despite the so-called truce, Russian APC and Tanks are moving...



    Pro-Russian supporters are burning books in Donetsk



    And Kharkiv is dominated by Pro-Russia supporters carry this huge Russian flag...



    White House Statement:

    The US is rejecting the vote:

    The U.S. is rejecting the vote in Crimea even before the results are released.

    The White House says Sunday's referendum on succession is contrary to Ukraine's constitution.

    The U.S. says the world won't recognize the results of a vote held under what it says are "threats of violence and intimidation from a Russian military intervention that violates international law."

    A written statement from the White House calls Russia's actions in Ukraine "dangerous and destabilizing."

    The U.S. is urging other nations to "take concrete steps to impose costs" against Russia.

    Secession was expected to be approved overwhelmingly.
    And so is the UK:

    • *U.K. FOREIGN SECRETARY: U.K. WON'T RECOGNIZE CRIMEAN REFERENDUM
    • *U.K.'S HAGUE SAYS CRIMEAN REFERENDUM UNCONSTITUTIONAL
    • *U.K.'S HAGUE SAYS THERE SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCES FOR RUSSIA
    • *HAGUE: `UNACCEPTABLE' FOR RUSSIA TO TAKE MORE ACTION IN UKRAINE


    And The EU:

    • *EU REITERATES CRIMEAN REFERENDUM IS ILLEGAL, ILLEGITIMATE
    • *EU SAYS IT WON'T RECOGNISE OUTCOME OF CRIMEAN REFERENDUM
    • *EU TO DECIDE ON ADDITIONAL MEASURES AGAINST RUSSIA TOMORROW


    And the French:

    • *FABIUS SAYS CRIMEA REFERENDUM ILLEGAL, AGAINST UKRAINE CONST.
    • *FABIUS SAYS RUSSIA HAS RESPONBILITIES AS UN SEC. COUNCIL MEMBER
    • *FABIUS SAYS RUSSIA MUST RESPECT UKRAINE TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY


    Now it's up to Putin... to weigh these potential "costs" against his gains...

    Crimea To Abandon Hyrvnia, Switch To Russian Ruble On April 1st

    Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2014 13:31 -0400

    Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliev has told RIANovosti that the region will abandon Ukraine's Hyrvnia:


    • *CRIMEA TO SWITCH TO RUSSIAN RUBLE APRIL 1: RIA NOVOSTI


    This is not a total surprise as Reuters reported the Crimean Deputy PM stating "we are ready to introduce a ruble zone," a week ago.

    For the last few years the UAH/RUB exchange rate has oscillated around 38 in an 'almost' peg anyway...


    But this move would isolate Crimeans from the potentially large devaluation that capital flows would create should a default occur (which looks increasingly likely)

    From Reuters last week:

    The Ukrainian region of Crimea could adopt the Russian ruble as its currency and "nationalize" state property as part of plans to join the Russian Federation, a regional official was quoted as saying on Thursday.

    Interfax news agency cited Rustam Temurgaliyev, Crimea's vice premier, as saying: "All Ukrainian state enterprises will be nationalized and become the property of the Crimean autonomy."

    Hoping Moscow would let Crimea become part of Russia, he said: "We are ready to introduce the ruble zone."

    Of course, this may lead to the emergence of an even more broad 'black market' for dollars or rubles in Ukraine as we are sure the Ukraine government would fight back with capital controls of some sort.
