Bombing America’s Enemies into the Stone Age. A great return on investment?




We bombed Vietnam into the stone age. Guess what? - Vietnam is alive and well and in the 21st century. A great investment of U.S. taxpayers' money?

ISIS Performs Blood Sacrifice to Their Mean Pagan Desert gods – James Foley RIP




I do not understand why the Media repeats the Press Releases of Animals and calls this an execution which it is not – it is more than an unjust summary execution of a journalist, which we in the West consider an honorable job.

The thugs that want power at any cost in Iraq / Syria etc. call themselves Muslim, of Islam a religion of peace, that they cause genocide toward minorities, forcing conversion to thuggery - is justification for whatever.

To me, these show executions are not justice but blood sacrifice to some blood thirsty deity and personal fucked up EGO. 

Religion sucks in general. This is abysmal.

My condolences to Foley’s family, friends and co-workers. RIP James.




James Foley, a freelance war correspondent from New Hampshire, was killed at the hands of the Islamic State militant group, which distributed a video that said the apparent beheading was retaliation for recent US airstrikes in Iraq, US officials said late Tuesday.

The officials told the Associated Press that they believe it is Foley in the video, bringing to a tragic end a saga that began when Foley was kidnapped in Syria in November 2012.

Humanitarian Crisis in Middle East as Bush/Cheney Propped Up Iraq Dictatorship Falls Apart – Last Battle of Baghdad About to Begin – But Don’t Worry America – Big Oil Corps Still Control the Oil Fields






It was also mulling air strikes against the militants, who are led by the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant but include loyalists of now-executed Sunni Arab dictator Saddam Hussein. Meanwhile, the United Nations warned Iraq is in danger of disintegrating.

A relative calm in Baghdad - ostensibly as militants have focused on their northern assault - was shattered by a string of bombings that left 17 people dead, while the bodies of 18 soldiers and police were found near the city of Samarra, all shot in the head and chest.

Since the insurgents launched their lightning assault on June 9, they have captured Mosul, a city of two million people, and a big chunk of mainly Sunni Arab territory stretching towards the capital.

The offensive has displaced hundreds of thousands of people and sent jitters through world oil markets as the militants have advanced ever nearer Baghdad leaving the Shiite-led government in disarray.

Officials said on Tuesday that militants briefly held parts of the city of Baquba, just 40 miles from the capital.

They also took control of most of Tal Afar, a strategic Shiite-majority town between Mosul and the border with Syria, where ISIL also has fighters engaged in that country's three-year-old civil war.

WTF - What do John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, Dick Cheney, Bush 41 & 43, Petraeus and Opus Dei have in Common? – Their Luxury Suites at Hotel Hell for all Eternity


Oscar Romero - Hugo Chavez
Liberation Theology - Sacred and Secular



"When Reagan was elected, two months later there was a meeting of his National Security Council in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to discuss one thing: How can we destroy liberation theology in Latin America? And they concluded: We can’t destroy it, but we can divide the church. And so they went after the pope. They gave him lots and lots of cash for solidarity in Poland. And in exchange, they got the permission, if you will, the commitment on the part of the papacy, to destroy liberation theology."

...
So, history and cheerleading of popes, what I call papolatry, will not cover up the facts. This has been the most sordid 42 years of Catholic history since the Borgias. And as I say, I think it’s really about ending that church as we know it. I think Protestantism, too, needs a reboot. 

I think all of Christianity can get back more to the teachings of Jesus, a revolutionary around love and justice. That’s what it’s about. And that’s why there’s been such fierce resistance all along from the right wing. 

The CIA has been involved in, especially with Pope John Paul II, the decimation of liberation theology all over South America, the replacing of these heroic leaders, including bishops and cardinals, with Opus Dei cardinals and bishops, who are—well, frankly, it’s a fascist organization, Opus Dei is.

It’s all about obedience. It’s not about ideas or theology. They haven’t produced one theologian in 40 years. They produce canon lawyers and people who infiltrate where the power is, whether it’s the media, the Supreme Court or the FBI, the CIA, and finance, especially in Europe.



Steele's contribution was pivotal. He was the covert US figure behind the intelligence gathering of the new commando units. The aim: to halt a nascent Sunni insurgency in its tracks by extracting information from detainees.
It was a role made for Steele. The veteran had made his name in El Salvador almost 20 years earlier as head of a US group of special forces advisers who were training and funding the Salvadoran military to fight the FNLM guerrilla insurgency. These government units developed a fearsome international reputation for their death squad activities. Steele's own biography describes his work there as the "training of the best counterinsurgency force" in El Salvador.

Of his El Salvador experience in 1986, Steele told Dr Max Manwaring, the author of El Salvador at War: An Oral History: "When I arrived here there was a tendency to focus on technical indicators … but in an insurgency the focus has to be on human aspects. That means getting people to talk to you."
But the arming of one side of the conflict by the US hastened the country's descent into a civil war in which 75,000 people died and 1 million out of a population of 6 million became refugees.
Celerino Castillo, a Senior Drug Enforcement Administration special agent who worked alongside Steele in El Salvador, says: "I first heard about Colonel James Steele going to Iraq and I said they're going to implement what is known as the Salvadoran Option in Iraq and that's exactly what happened. And I was devastated because I knew the atrocities that were going to occur in Iraq which we knew had occurred in El Salvador."
It was in El Salvador that Steele first came in to close contact with the man who would eventually command US operations in Iraq: David Petraeus. Then a young major, Petraeus visited El Salvador in 1986 and reportedly even stayed with Steele at his house.
But while Petraeus headed for the top, Steele's career hit an unexpected buffer when he was embroiled in the Iran-Contra affair. A helicopter pilot, who also had a licence to fly jets, he ran the airport from where the American advisers illegally ran guns to right-wing Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua. While the congressional inquiry that followed put an end to Steele's military ambitions, it won him the admiration of then congressman Dick Cheney who sat on the committee and admired Steele's efforts fighting leftists in both Nicaragua and El Salvador.
In late 1989 Cheney was in charge of the US invasion of Panama to overthrow their once favoured son, General Manuel Noriega. Cheney picked Steele to take charge of organising a new police force in Panama and be the chief liaison between the new government and the US military.

Faisal Shahzad – human drone terrorist fails (this time)



The act of desperation in the middle east to is convince people that God or Allah is on your side and have those stupid souls commit a suicide bombing to die for a political/religious cause. This is part of the equation of ignorance and poverty we are fighting in the midst of the mess over there.

In a global sense we cannot walk away from a global situation that has manifested itself since 911.

Jimmy Carter started to tell us to stop our dependence on foreign oil in the late seventies. Congress, corrupt from oil money, has not followed through on a plausible energy policy since.

The growing oil slick and cancer on the environment in the Gulf of Mexico is coming home to haunt our inactions for decades. As a result, we are drawn into the corrupt Saudi and Muslim world politics of unknown places on the other side of the planet.

These acts of so called martyrdom or heroics that we see elsewhere are coming closer to us.

Except for the jihadist US Army officer shrink Nidal Hasan, the U.S. has been very lucky since 911 in terms of avoiding direct terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

I see a long distance pattern to these so called sleeper cells in the U.S.. While a Shahzad or a Hasan are already here, they in essence have to turn on the hand that feeds them here in the United States and try to connect to some native roots elsewhere for encouragement in their acts of mass murder or attempted mass murder.

The Christian west long ago made suicide a taboo for individuals while directly and indirectly blessing wholesale warfare in it place.

At latest news, the economy going south may have contributed to Shahzad souring on his piece of the American Dream.

Long distance is someone or some group trying to pull off a complicated bomb construction and bomb detonation here in America. The people such as the underwear bomber at Christmas or the Times Square attempted bomber - they did not succeed in that long distance connection from some ancient culture and religious hate thing overseas.

People that blow themselves up in Iraq and Afghanistan are poor and certain that their reward is in Paradise with the Prophet.

Foreign born people who live here, are educated here and have opportunities here are perhaps contaminated by our secular culture that chooses life over death.

That to drive into Times Square, perhaps playing some Timothy McVeigh like tape in your head, and walking away from a half assed built bomb and to save your half assed half American life is a flaw in the present evolving equation of hate, terror and mass murder.

To be young and stupid like this Times Square suspect is to be ideal and zealous in your hate against the U.S. even while you want your cake (life) and eat it too like an American.

This is really a screwed up equation of modern proportions on the domestic and international global world stage. I hope this is a temporary scenario in the ongoing long term march to the future.

Blackwater's New Occult Corporate Symbol - Xe


On the heels of the recent lobotomy of justice throwing out the Blackwater/Xe Nisour Square Massacre case, I have trouble focusing on the Mercenary no-bid contract outsourced CIA soldiers of fortune thing.

I know this black ops, navy seal military cult is a religion in itself and people like the neocons drink the blood at the altar, figuratively speaking, of this cult thing in American militarism.

I can see why Constantine insisted that the new secular Christian cult conform to a parallel world of the Army Cult god of Mithra. Belief in and or having your religious beliefs rigidly conformed to is part of the energy necessary to plow ahead in battle through blood and body parts and still appear to remain sane when back in the world of the living in everyday life. It was no different then as it is now.

The Massacre case was thrown out because of incompetent Bush era Justice Department holdovers who probably knew that the sloppy way of handling evidence and affidavits of witnesses would compromise any jury decision if it ever got that far. It is good to have your Mithra friends in the Justice Department or in the Pentagon itself when being an outsourced killing machine of the Pentagon or CIA.

Putting my personal prejudices aside about Blackwater and murder done worldwide with our tax dollars, I still can’t focus on the Corporate symbol that I find difficult to pronounce Xe (pronounced zi). Of course a corporate image change is necessary after the Nisour Square Massacre with 17 Iraqi civilians dead and 20 other injured in a drive by shoot out with the natives in their nasty civilian mode in their damned native Baghdad. Oh well.

Since what interests me is the exoterics or the hidden meaning sometimes of things, I have to address my own impressions of what I consider the occult symbol of the new Blackwater or Xe Services.

The founder of Blackwater is someone named Erik Prince, a child of wealth, an ex-navy seal, former intern in the Bush 41 White House and convert to the very cultish traditionalist Latin mass Roman Catholicism.

I also use the word occult to describe the hidden meaning of things. The word itself has come to mean something sinister. Indeed decades ago, before the modern chains of bookstores, the label of Occult would be in tiny independent bookstores and the assortment of books under that description would be have to do with astrology, tarot, numerology and magic. These days those topics have their own aisles in book store chains.

Erik Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe.”

Which kind of lends my thinking to Knights Templar and all that recent esoteric stuff with DaVinci Code and Illuminati and Masonic conspiracy theories and such.

Since there are a few approaches to interpreting the Xe corporate symbol I will give them all to you and you can judge if I am near the money in my opinion and or analysis.

Xe is the letter “X” with an “e” imbedded in it.

An X is also a form of the cross. St. Andrew’s cross is such a form of X. St. Andrews Cross is the symbol of Scotland where the legendary Knights Templar were supposed to have evolved, after going underground, into the Masons of modern day recognition.

Perhaps Mr. Prince is of Scottish ancestry. I cannot establish that fact on any biographical material available to me.

Saint Andrew’s cross is of course a Christian symbol in that St. Andrew requested to be crucified on an “X” shaped cross because he, like St. Peter felt unworthy in die in exact fashion like Jesus. Like your executioners are going to listen to a prisoner’s silly request and do extra work on the execution device? Whatever.

I think the X in Xe is a symbol of a cross.

Xe is the chemical symbol Xenon, atomic number 54. In numerology 54 breaks down into 5 + 4 = 9. Jesus died on the ninth hour as any really good Christian would be able to tell you.

If you look at the Xe symbol above, the two elements of the cross are different. One part is straight and rigid. The other part is fluid or wavy. This other part could be a sword blade without a guard or handle.

The “e” in the base of the rigid part of the Blackwater Crusader’s cross perhaps stands for Erik.

Erik – “e”- standing at the foot of a modern day Crusader Cross? How very Mel Gibson-ish, more catholic than the pope-ish.

Of course, Mr. Prince is supposed to be severing all ties with his former businesses and holy bloodshed. He perhaps continues to serve under the motto of Constantine with his grafted together Mithra/Jesus, military/secular god - a motto often associated with crusades and crusaders – “In Hoc Signo Vinces” – “With this sign you shall conquer”.

One can only hope that in an ever diminishing world with the merging of cultures and religions into the future global culture, that sophomoric symbols of toy soldiers made into holy war is near the end of such things, or the old white christian order of things. That the Roman/British/America Empire model is perhaps part of the dying old world order.

In place of that old world order is the evolving global multi-racial, multi-cultural new world order of things.

Mutiny - Imperial Wars - Obama


The one word that I did not hear on the self muzzled Main Stream Media the other week or so ago when Major Hasan went off on his crazy exercise in “religion” against his fellow troops at Fort Hood. That word is mutiny.

Mutiny!

As inferior as Major Hasan is as a human being for his hatred of his fellow humanity in the name of Allah - let’s face it he was a third rate mind with a Shrink’s degree ready to give third rate treatment to our troops. It makes for, I think, - not an exception to the rule of the readiness or steadfastness of the military - but the rule itself about how thin the army is spread in Bush’s and now Obama’s Imperial Wars in Asia.

Imperial Wars? No formal declaration of War. Perhaps a quick incursion into Afghanistan was a necessary reaction to 911 but Iraq is pure whimsy and ego of a former Emperor’s idiot son.

Time was when wars were good for the Economy! Can somebody tell me with the Humvee Division of General Motors being recently sold to China – will military hummers be coming out of China now to fight the Imperial Wars?

War is good no doubt for everybody except US! (U.S.)

I caught this story about a female trooper who is refusing to deploy because she has no family member who can take care of her ten month old baby.

Soldier mom refuses deployment to care for baby
Spc. Alexis Hutchinson, 21, claims she had no choice but to refuse deployment orders because the only family she had to care for her 10-month-old son — her mother — was overwhelmed by the task, already caring for three other relatives with health problems.

Her civilian attorney, Rai Sue Sussman, said Monday that one of Hutchinson's superiors told her she would have to deploy anyway and place the child in foster care.
Talk about ripping a baby away from its mother’s tit!

And her commander’s mean spirited demand for sacrifice from the ranks is ridiculous. When was the last time a Tim Geithner type or any of his frat house cronies on Wall Street ever make any sacrifice for this country?

Spc. Hutchinson and Major Hasan are merely the few truths that leak out these days and are not covered up by the MSM and their corporate bosses. Mutiny and revolution seem to be in the air in America. The Tea Baggers are only the tip of an Iceberg ready to sink the American Ship of State.

Obama, you are only as good as your generals or your secretary of the Treasury (and as an after thought – your troops?). I think you are in deep shit and a one term Imperial President. You’re young. You can make a comeback. Grover Cleveland, a democrat, was both the 22nd and 24th President.

The GOP on permanent lockdown of the soul and forty million dollar a year radio shock jocks want America to fail. Obama is only temporary America. The GOP is hoping to return to the lily white Ozzie and Harriet, Beaver Cleaver days of the 1950’s – it ain’t coming back boys. To be treasonous on a low flame on the back burner of our Republic is to still be treasonous when you absolutely refuse to help the domestic agenda in Congress. That is mutiny and punishable by death in times of war. (let’s not get too dramatic here)

And the attitude of Cheney is one of dictator, on Elba, waiting for a neocon coup to put his marvelous failed management techniques back online. Good luck with that Dick!

This volunteer army thing took responsibility away from the children of boomers who did not serve in Vietnam and who got deferments. These children of the boomers went onto college and took over Wall Street and lost Wall Street and got a free pass and are now riding high again on a Wall Street temporary comeback (until the next crash) where three quarters of the Wall Street jobs have already been outsourced to Bombay in the last decade or so.

Wall Street makes government subsidized profits/bonuses and Main street gets screwed.

Getting back to the Volunteer army where the children of those who bore the full brunt of the Vietnam travesty are now on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan/Pakistan.

The only jobs on Main Street these days for the young are outsourced military jobs overseas so to speak.

Mutiny happens. Mutiny happened in Roman times. Mutinies usually happen when the general in charge can’t manage day to day operations. What the troops endure now is wasted on a selfish, uncaring, greedy government in Washington totally out of touch with reality and totally out of touch with its people.

Mutiny can turn into revolution. Ask Russia about that and seventy wasted years of their history. The irony is that the GOP is now consuming itself and consuming any possible team effort (third string) on Capitol Hill to help America back out of the economic hospital the country is now in. Of course America and its economy does not have healthcare etc. Who pulls the ultimate plug on America? The GOP?

Dear President Obama. Good luck in your dealing with your overstretched Imperial army in an artificial worldwide empire, there only to cover corporations’ backs and not the third class American citizenry back here at home.
