We are at the beginning of the end of a dark chapter in history, during which America was dominated by the powerful grip of a manipulative and criminal government whose foundation was based not on the country's constitution, and the rule of law, but on a hellish marriage between the U.S. National Security State, Zionist Israel, Corporate America, Academia, and Wall Street; a marriage that was ordained by the forces of darkness over six decades ago, after the defeat of the Third Reich; and a marriage that gave birth to an evil and demented child, the neoconservative.
With America firmly under control, European, many Middle Eastern, and Latin American nations were brought under the reign of the NSS-Wall Street empire; sometimes through deception of their populations, sometimes through bribery of their government officials, sometimes through coup d'états, and sometimes through outright war. The last option is the neocons' favorite option. But they don't get their hands dirty by fighting any wars; they do battle by think tanks in the war for public perception, and use the mass media machine for their own atrocious ends.
The people that has suffered the most under America's criminal government, apart from the millions of foreign victims, are the sons and daughters of the America's military. In Vietnam thousands died, and thousands were injured. The spiritual scars of that war are still felt today by Vietnam veterans. Their honor and dignity was stripped from them because they were deceived into participating in evil. Fighters in Afghanistan, and Iraq are suffering even more today because of multiple tours. In April, the Army Times reported that 18 veterans commit suicide every day. Military suicide numbers "accounts for 20% of national suicides."
The stress and trauma that soldiers are experiencing is made even worse when taking into consideration that a majority of them know that they were lied to. In a 2006 poll of US troops based in Iraq, ninety-three percent of soldiers said their deployment to Iraq was not about finding WMDs, which was the main reason that was sold to America by the Bush administration. 72 percent also said that America should exit Iraq by 2007. But the reversed happen. A surge was announced, and U.S. soldiers are still fighting in a war based on lies.
The response by the troops in the poll, and in numerous other polls, is a good sign that there are good men and women in the U.S. military. In fact, I have more faith in the members of the U.S. military than in the civilian leadership at the Pentagon, and politicians in Washington. There are intelligent, and moral voices within the military. And General Anthony Zinni is one of them. He was critical of the neoconservative driven policy in the Middle East, and publicly voiced his anger at Bush administration officials about the mishandling of Iraq in a 60 minutes interview in May 2004.
From the CBS article by Rebecca Leung called, Gen. Zinni: 'They've Screwed Up':
Zinni says he blames the Pentagon for what happened. “I blame the civilian leadership of the Pentagon directly. Because if they were given the responsibility, and if this was their war, and by everything that I understand, they promoted it and pushed it - certain elements in there certainly - even to the point of creating their own intelligence to match their needs, then they should bear the responsibility,” he says.The neocons not only hijacked America's foreign policy, but they hijacked the entire government with Bush's stolen election, and then by using fear and terrorism to bring the country into their fold. After 9/11, which will go down in history as the most infamous false-flag operation, the neocons put their insane ideas into action, and the mass nightmare that is current reality has continually gotten worse ever since.
“But regardless of whose responsibility I think it is, somebody has screwed up. And at this level and at this stage, it should be evident to everybody that they've screwed up. And whose heads are rolling on this? That's what bothers me most.”
Adds Zinni: “If you charge me with the responsibility of taking this nation to war, if you charge me with implementing that policy with creating the strategy which convinces me to go to war, and I fail you, then I ought to go.”
Who specifically is he talking about?
“Well, it starts with at the top. If you're the secretary of defense and you're responsible for that. If you're responsible for that planning and that execution on the ground. If you've assumed responsibility for the other elements, non-military, non-security, political, economic, social and everything else, then you bear responsibility,” says Zinni. “Certainly those in your ranks that foisted this strategy on us that is flawed. Certainly they ought to be gone and replaced.”
Zinni is talking about a group of policymakers within the administration known as "the neo-conservatives" who saw the invasion of Iraq as a way to stabilize American interests in the region and strengthen the position of Israel. They include Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz; Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith; Former Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle; National Security Council member Eliot Abrams; and Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Zinni believes they are political ideologues who have hijacked American policy in Iraq.
But the hijacking of America was not the handiwork of neocons alone. The social, cultural and political foundations for their rise to power were laid well before they snuck onto the empire's stage. The National Security State was already corrupt, and elitist, and that secretive imperialist establishment allowed politically ambitious psychopaths like Rumsfeld and Cheney to crawl up through the ranks, and secure influential positions for themselves, and their equally psychotic friends.
Also, the neocons' success wouldn't have been possible without an escapist mass media, an intellectually defunct educational system, and a public that was profoundly ignorant of public affairs. The reality that government policies are written for and by elites generations in advance is still not public knowledge, despite the massive evidence for it.
In "9/11: Cover For A Coup D'Etat?" Ed Encho makes the case for a neocon coup of the United States in 2000, and says that it can't be classified as anything other than high treason against the state:
"Stealing the 2000 election was essential, the neocons needed a useful idiot in George W. Bush to piggyback into the White House where Cheney and Rumsfeld could set up their shops in order to allow for the coup to be executed. Once Bush's installation was ensured by the requisite political chicanery, black ops, a massive psyops media campaign and the assistance of the Federalist Society stooges on the Supreme Court all the pieces were in place. A weak and easily manipulated president who appealed to a certain segment of the population, a self-selected V.P., the necessary bureaucratic appointments and the stage was set for the catalyzing event that would set the plan into motion and the ensuing quashing of dissent when the power grab came. I wonder why any serious investigation of those nasty little anthrax letters has never taken place, and why the only recipients were influential media figures and key Democrats who could have potentially stopped the USA PATRIOT Act.Contrary to what many thought a couple of years ago, including myself, the neoncons staying power in Washington politics transcends Republican and Democratic administrations. Last month, independent journalist Allen McDuffeeRaw Story that a May, 2010 report by the Brookings Institution, a major think tank in Washington D.C., said that neoconservative criminals like Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Brill Kristol are still running around town with considerable power in their step, and are not going away anytime soon.
The neocons have too much to lose if they are removed from the White House, the implications of real investigations would be devastating, shocking and could very likely result in convictions on charges of treason and not that silly dittohead talking point style ‘treason’ which has become a common euphemism for dissent and criticism in the reich wing media but REAL treason."
Here is a brief passage from McDuffee's article called, "Think tank: Neocons’ influence remains strong under Obama":
"The report refers to the 2007 Iraq troop surge as a specific, significant, recent development where neocons have had tremendous influence. It was partly devised by Fred Kagan, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, who is also an influential voice on the current counterinsurgency debates. He was, for example, part of the team of civilian experts who advised General McChrystal on his Afghanistan review in July 2009.McDuffee's entire article is necessary reading if you want the understand the neocons' crippling influence in the United States. Obama's politics is handicapped because of the neocons. But he is also guilty. His endorsement of many neocon policies in the Middle East was evident from the beginning of his term, and his intensifying war rhetoric against Iran points to a possible tag team attack on Iran between the "humanitarian-interventionists neoliberals" and the neocons. The fears of a new World War are especially grave in light of Obama replacing General McChrystal with General Petraeus, who is worshiped by the neocons because he is willing to sing their lunatic tune.Perhaps more important than the institutions and financial support is the modus operandi of the neoconservatives, according to Janine Wedel, professor in the School of Public Policy at George Mason University and author of Shadow Elite. In particular, a small subset of neocons, a “neocon core,” has been working together for more than 30 years “to remake American foreign policy according to their own vision.”
According to Wedel, this is done through the neocons' creation of alternative versions of official information and their ability to market those accounts as the more credible ones to audiences in the media, government and other political circles.
The neocons are able to achieve their goals, according to Wedel, “by undermining the rules and standard processes of the government they supposedly serve and supplanting them with their own, all the while making public decisions backed by the power and resources of the state.” Because their undermining of these processes often goes undetected, it is likely many remain in place under the Obama administration."
Moreover, the essayist Manuel Valenzuela wrote one of the best accounts about the insanity of neoconservative thinking, and the movement's deceptive approach to politics in his 2007 essay called, "Of Crazies, Neocons and the Enemy Within." An excerpt:
"Democracy and freedom has never been of much importance to the neocon vultures, even as they spew these virtues as sacred dogma. Of course, what neocons say, and what they do, are almost always at odds with each other. They are experts at extolling the virtues of the grand lie, of lying pathologically to the people for the people’s supposed own good. Government secrecy is a hallmark of the neocons, a reality the world has seen since 2001. Keeping secrets and telling a constant stream of lies has defined the neocon administration of George W. Bush.The neocons' obsession with military power probably masks insecurity about their own manhood. While young, many of them avoided the Vietnam war draft, so they've never known what war and death feels like. They're like children, but evil children; they deal in make-believe, myth, political illusions, false perceptions, and grand historical narratives.
It is interesting that while they talk of democracy and freedom, they try to destroy both, abroad and at home. These vermin stand for Machiavelli-style rule, being comforted more by authoritarian governance than pure democracy. Indeed, democracy is anathema to their ideology, for they do not believe the masses can correctly govern themselves. Therefore, leaders possessing dictatorial powers must be created, the better to serve the interests of the neocon belief system. In fact, the stolen election of 2000, in the state of Florida, was a direct consequence of neocon planning and implementation, the first domino to fall in pursuit of their new American century. The ascension of Bush to the throne, a man who had promised them Iraq on a silver platter if elected, was of paramount importance. He was also a willing participant and firm believer in Rebuilding America’s Defenses. Once immediately safely selected to the throne, in fact, he began implementing its highly militarized and unilateral policies."
Like all visionaries, the neocons were intuitive, and smart. They knew something was wrong with late 20th century American-Western civilization, and they were obviously unhappy, but they were visionaries gone mad. Their views of mankind were narrow and elitist, and their plans for America in the 21st century were, plainly put, diabolical and evil. They should be hanged, or serving life in prison. But they deserve respect for manufacturing reality, and manipulating public consciousness so brilliantly. Don't get me wrong, I hate their guts, and wish them to hell, but we must recognize that evil genius has its place in world drama, and that the darkness that it creates presents a beautiful gift to the world.
Gerald G. May, author of "The Dark Night Of The Soul: A Psychiatrist Explores the Connection Between Darkness and Spiritual Growth," says that spiritual darkness bears many gifts, and that is true both for an individual, and for society. The spiritual life of a nation, or a civilization, is largely unconscious, but it is a great source of power, and also, of healing. By secretly committing the 9/11 crime, and then deceiving the whole world about the identity of the terrorists, the powers of darkness that rule over America unleashed the workings of grief, loss, and fear, which either leads people to violence, and revenge, or a new spiritual awakening, and a spiritual transformation. People in America have responded in both ways to the 9/11 tragedy, but the violent reaction is waning, and the process of spiritual growth is speeding up. May writes:
"The goal of the transformation, the dawn after the night, consists of three precious gifts for the human soul. First, the soul's deepest desire is satisfied. Freed from the idolatries of their attachments, individuals are able to be completely in love with God and to love their neighbors as themselves. This love involves one's whole self: actions as well as feelings. Second, the delusion of separation from God and creation is dispelled; slowly one consciously realizes and enjoys the essential union that has always been present. Third, the freedom of love and realization of union leads to active participation in God. Here one not only recognizes one's own beauty and precious nature, but also shares God's love and compassion for others in real, practical service in the world," (pg. 74).The people that are truly responsible for 9/11 are obviously hateful, and crazy. But let's not excuse their actions, and allow them to plead insanity; they are more ambitious than they are crazy. They know what they did, and they feel no remorse, or shame, or guilt; in fact, they seem proud of what they did. And they are supremely confident because they have not faced justice for nine years. As long as they remain in power, or even near power, they're a danger to humanity.
Heartless, arrogant, and cruel, they won't ever be persuaded by the powers of forgiveness, nor will they spiritual evolve, so the path of restorative justice should be dismissed for the path of hardcore justice. In other words, they must face a fair trial, and if found guilty, they must be hanged in front of the whole world.
But I don't see how the neocons, the Zionists, the criminals in the National Security State, as well as others who were involved in the 9/11 crime, and deception will be brought to justice. Will a military awakening lead to military resistance against current American policy in the Middle East? Will the American people storm the Capitol, and demand justice? Will it require force, or is the power of public opinion already overwhelming? How will the revolution against the tyrants in Washington D.C. evolve? I can't answer these questions, but they must be asked.
In the last paragraph of his book "NATO's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and terrorism in Western Europe," author Daniele Ganser writes:
"A potential exit strategy from the spiral of fear, manipulation and violence might have to focus on the individual human being itself and a change of consciousness. Given its free will the individual can decide to focus on non-violent solutions of given problems and promote a dialogue of understanding and forgiveness in order to reduce extremist positions. The individual can break free from fear and manipulation by consciously concentrating on his or her very own feelings, thoughts, words, and actions, and by focusing all of them on peaceful solutions. As more secrecy and more bloodshed are unlikely to solve the problems ahead the new millennium seems a particularly adequate time to begin with such a shift in consciousness which can have positive effects both for the world and for oneself," (pg. 248-249).While I firmly believe that all citizens in the West must engage in non-violent civil disobedience in order to change the tyrannical direction of their governments, and reinstate the rule of law, I am skeptical of a peaceful end to the current crisis of democracy, freedom, and trust. When public confidence in a government is absent, and people are vocal about their anger, the most likely response by the tyrants is brutal repression. I hope that the dawn of liberty comes soon for the world, and that is justice is served properly. And I pray to God that knowledge is more powerful than the gun, but I believe all citizens should have both, just to be sure.
