America: The Greatest Force for Good?

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 29, 2015

I use to believe that despite America’s many mistakes, that fundamentally she was a good country. I use to believe the history I learned in America’s state controlled class rooms. I use to believe that our armed forces were fighting to protect us and to spread democracy. But then 9/11 happened and the war on terror was launched to protect Americans from these very evil and bad people… so I started paying attention. I noticed that despite our war on terror, the US Federal government encouraged open borders and didn’t seem to care to discover who came or who left the country. Could another terrorist get in? I then discovered that 15 of the 19 so called hijackers were from America’s ally Saudi Arabia, yet we attacked Iraq and Afghanistan neither of whom attacked us. I was told that an evil group called Al-Qaeda were behind the attack on 9/11, but then I discovered that Al-Qaeda was created by our own CIA and that we gave $3 billion to its leader Osama bin Laden to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. The more I read, the more I double and triple-checked my fact-checking of the information of the official 9/11 story. The more I fact-checked and read, the more I realized that the official story was not even physically possible; yet the official story was told over and over again in our media. So I continued to read and I discovered that the 9/11 story wasn’t the first time our government and media lied to us. They lied to get us into the Vietnam War which cost the lives of over 58,000 of my fellow Americans and over 3 million innocent men, woman and children in the countries we bombed and sprayed with Agent Orange. All of this was based on lies by the US Government and supported by the establishment media which owned the TV content I dutifully watched every day to stay informed.

Since these more innocent times, I have discovered an even bigger story. That not only does the government and the media routinely lie to the American people, they are controlled and managed by a handful of corporations who have interlocking board of directors who also benefit financially from the many wars and resultant human tragedies this institutionalized murder and mayhem produce. I discovered that America and the grand ideals America represented in my mind has been captured by a small group of individuals and is used not to spread goodness and democracy but rather the opposite. This is not an opinion, but a demonstrable fact.

So here I sit today, realizing the sad truth that America is not the greatest force for good in the world but rather the greatest force for evil.

“The September 11 attack on America was planned, coordinated, and carried out under the watchful eyes and with the helpful assistance of top officials in the FBI, CIA, and Bush Administration–officials who did everything in their power to insure that the operation would be a spectacular triumph unequaled in the world of terrorism and political opportunism.” — R. Joseph, PhD

PNAC’s “New Pearl Harbor”

5 Replies

PNAC was established in 1997. Section 5, (published a year before 9/11) describes the need for a “New Pearl Harbor” (see below). An abundance of evidence shows that the attacks on 9/11 were an inside job committed by criminal elements within the U.S. Federal Government. On 9/11, they got their “New Pearl Harbor”.

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was an American think tank based in Washington, D.C. established in 1997 as a non-profit educational organization founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan.

“New Pearl Harbor”

September, 2000: Section V of Rebuilding America’s Defenses, entitled “Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force”, includes the sentence: “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor”

Why the US/NATO are in Ukraine today: The Origins of the Current Neo-Conservative Revolution in US Strategic Thinking, published in the German Law Journal, cited Jochen Bölsche’s view that the goal of the PNAC was world dominance or global hegemony by the United States. According to Bölsche, Rebuilding America’s Defenses was developed by Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Libby, and is devoted to matters of ‘maintaining US pre-eminence, thwarting rival powers and shaping the global security system according to US interests.

BTW, you can read more about why we are in Ukraine in The Grand Chessboard by Zbigniew Brzezinski which was also conveniently published in 1997 the same year PNAC was established.

Interesting to note that 9/11 wasn’t the first time the US Government considered using airplanes in a False Flag attack on the United States. From Washingtonsblog article on 42 ADMITTED False Flag Attacks:

“As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in 1962, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.”

Interview with NSA Whistleblower William Binney

3 Replies

Please take the time to view this important interview with NSA Whistleblower William Binney. Important source information is contained herein. Mr. Binney is obviously very intelligent and provides important key insights and details of the inner operations of the NSA that most are unaware. It is also obvious that Mr. Binney has been so close to the action and so focused on the duties of his 36 year career, he has not had the time to investigate what part his actions have played in the larger picture. For example, he was not aware of operation Gladio, or the grander Anglo-American Geopolitical strategies and goals that direct the NSA; and though he found the official 9/11 report not credible, he still seemed to hold out a faint belief that mistakes were made; not that they were orchestrated by the same system he served. Despite this, this is a key video to be aware of; so please invest the time to become knowledgeable –up close and personal with William Binney– of the imminent and existential threat we all face at the hands of the NSA and the Stasi state they are currently creating.

A 36-year veteran of America’s Intelligence Community, William Binney resigned from his position as Director for Global Communications Intelligence (COMINT) at the National Security Agency (NSA) and blew the whistle, after discovering that his efforts to protect the privacy and security of Americans were being undermined by those above him in the chain of command.

The NSA data-monitoring program which Binney and his team had developed — codenamed ThinThread — was being aimed not at foreign targets as intended, but at Americans (codenamed as Stellar Wind), was destroying privacy here and around the world. Binney voices his call to action for the billions of individuals whose rights are currently being violated.

William Binney speaks out in this feature-length interview with Tragedy and Hope’s Richard Grove, focused on the topic of the ever-growing Surveillance State in America.

On January 22, 2015: (Berlin, Germany) – The Government Accountability Project (GAP) is proud to announce that retired NSA Technical Director and GAP client, William “Bill” Binney, will accept the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence Award today in Berlin, Germany.

Classified Woman-The Sibel Edmonds Story: A Memoir by Sibel D Edmonds (Mar 9, 2012)
Paperback: 340 pages | Available at Amazon and other book resellers

It is my opinion that Sibel Edmonds is one of the most important women of our era. She was born in 1970, raised in Iran, moved to Turkey at age 11 and then moved to the U.S. when she was 17. She has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, a psychology from George Washington University and her master’s in public policy and international commerce from George Mason University. She also speaks four languages fluently. That’s all impressive, but that does not make her important. What if I told you that she was so feared by the Federal Government that the ACLU described her as “the most gagged person in American history”; and that even the page numbers of her book and her age were ‘Classified’? The FBI retroactively classified as Top Secret all of the material and statements that had been provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2002 relating to her lawsuit, as well as the letters that had been sent by the Senators and republished by the Project on Government Oversight. What was the government so afraid of? Their most feared enemy: a small woman willing to stand up and tell the truth.

But her real importance to me is found in what she can teach each of us about standing up to those more powerful than us. So with this introduction, it’s hard to know where to start with Sibel Edmonds. For example, just the story of her amazing father, Rasim Deniz, would be enough for a great book. Sibel’s father was one of the Middle East’s leading reconstructive surgeons, but more importantly he was a good father. He taught Sibel truth and dignity; and he taught her to stand up against tyranny, by example. He stood up against the most feared Iranian Secret Police of the day: The Shah of Iran’s SAVAK to protect his little girl and yet again after they moved to Turkey. Unfortunately for Sibel and for all of us, Rasim Deniz died in 2000; but it is to our great benefit that his spirit lives on in Sibel and we are all better for it. How? Because after being confronted with corruption at the highest levels of this country, Sibel didn’t back down. Despite being born in Iran, she has shown us what it takes to be a real American and to hold those in power accountable. In a very real sense, Sibel is the best example of what a true American should be in our modern era. She is made of the same stuff that once made America great and we need to rediscover those roots. She came to America to find freedom and beauty –which she found– but she also found a system of corruption which reached into the highest levels of our government and Rasim’s little girl –now a woman—would have none of it. Unlike many of her fellow workers at the FBI who would go along to get along in fear of losing their jobs or worse, Sibel stood tall and confronted the beast that has become the U.S. Federal Government.

Sibel’s ‘Classified Woman’ was a real eye-opener for me. Why? Because I knew our government was corrupt, but I didn’t fully realize how corrupt or how far up the ladder the corruption went. It goes all the way to the top and Sibel documents this detail by detail, fact by fact; not in a vindictive manner to inflame but in a slow methodical process that demonstrates innocence lost; how her belief in the United States was hijacked by the reality of the corruption that implicates the government in the attack on 9/11 and the subsequent whitewash and cover-up represented by the 9/11 official report.

From the back cover: “In this startling new memoir, Sibel Edmonds—the most classified woman in U.S. history—takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded. Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public’s right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable. With U.S. citizens increasingly stripped of their rights in a calibrated media blackout, Edmonds’ story is a wake-up call for all Americans who, willingly or unwillingly, traded liberty for illusive security in the wake of 9/11.”

Danny Casolaro

We can read about the many misdeeds of government; and, if you are like me, you tend to just file that away as another mundane incident to be expected; but when we come to the death of Danny Casolaro, there is so much evidence and raw documented data of government involvement in murder, drug trafficking and cover-up –reaching around the globe– that this is one case we must be familiar with; if for no other reason but to be reminded who and what we are really up against. The Death of Danny Casolaro reads like a novel but this is real. This is not just some anomaly that happened a long time ago, never to be repeated. The criminals and murders have never been brought to justice, but rather have benefited financially and politically and continue to this very day. The corruption reaches to the highest offices in this land and there can be no doubt about this.

Sibel Edmonds

Fast forward to current events … If you read ‘Classified Woman-The Sibel Edmonds Story: A Memoir’ you will be stuck by her first-hand insider evidence that yes indeed our FBI, CIA, the Executive and the Judiciary are in collusion to hide the truth of their misdeeds, their crimes against the American people and their collusion in the attacks on 9/11; of this there can be no doubt, but we must see the evidence in its stark details to make it real for us and not just some intellectual theory, newspaper headline or fairy tale. Sibel Edmond’s story has nothing to do with building 7 or any of the other physical evidence, she is merely reporting on the reaction to certain events she saw first-hand inside the FBI and their attempts to deceive the American people.

Of all the videos and audio recordings I’ve heard on the Danny Casolaro case, James Corbett has put together the best below. Please take some time to let James do the heavy lifting and listen to both Episode 209 and 210 to get informed. We need to be well-grounded in the facts and understand just exactly what manner of evil and psychopathy we are up against. Buckle your seat-belts and listen …

Episode 209 – Requiem for the Suicided: Danny Casolaro

Danny Casolaro was a freelance journalist who told his friends and family that he was close to cracking a story he called The Octopus, which he referred to as the political conspiracy of the century. In August of 1991 he packed his notes and headed to West Virginia to conduct some final interviews for his forthcoming book. On August 10, 1991, he was found dead in his hotel room. The death was immediately ruled a suicide. Join us this week on The Corbett Report as we go in search of the story behind the story of the mysterious death of Danny Casolaro.

Episode 210 – Hunting the Octopus

In Episode 209 we looked at the mysterious death of Danny Casolaro, the journalist who was about to crack the political conspiracy of the century, a plot that he called “the octopus.” This week we go in search of the octopus that Casolaro was hunting.

The PNAC agenda: “New Pearl Harbor”

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | October 18, 2014

After the fall of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991, the “Military-Industrial Complex” President Eisenhower warned American Citizens about was in search for a new enemy and a “New Pearl Harbor” in PNAC’s own words to sustain the flow of funds.

PNAC’s Founder Dick Cheney

PNAC’s first public act was to release a “Statement of Principles” on June 3, 1997. In this statement of principles, you will find the following statement . . .

Section V of Rebuilding America’s Defenses, entitled “Creating Tomorrow’s Dominant Force”, includes the sentence: “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event––like a new Pearl Harbor” [emphasis mine].

ISIS Deception

Folks, you are being lied to and deceived by U.S. Government and the media talking heads. Here are the facts:

The U.S. Stated geopolitical strategy since 1992 (Wolfowitz Doctrine written in 1992 and the resultant Project for the New American Century manifesto written in 2000 laid out plans for foreign nation destabilization and nation-building by America) is to destabilize the Middle East which includes seven (7) countries: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran. That is the plan the U.S. is currently operating on. This has nothing to do with ISIS or the beheading of the two American journalists. The beheadings only served to move American opinion polls by about 24% in favor of bombing ISIS.

Israel is on board with this strategy since it will keep its enemies fighting amongst themselves.

Saudi Arabia is on board with this strategy since it will promote their radical version of Islam called Wahhabism “extremist pseudo-Sunni movement”. It also will guarantee their oil supremacy over Iran since if they can destroy Syria and stop the proposed Iran-Iraq-Syria Gas Pipeline. This pipeline would allow Syria and Iran to supply Western Europe with gas.

Qatar is on board with the U.S. Destabilization Strategy since they have a vested interest in stopping the Iran-Iraq-Syria Gas Pipeline.

Turkey is on board because they are a NATO member and they basically will not wipe their arse without permission from the U.S.

So the Grand Chessboard is set.
