Meet Lee Harvey Oswald, Sheep-Dipped Patsy from James Corbett – short and to the point.
Did the U.S. ‘Screw the Pooch‘ by its bloody warmongering across the Middle East, North Africa and Ukraine? Despite millions of casualties, the U.S. has not succeeded in intimidating Russia or China but rather put them both on high alert. Interesting that after the failed U.S. putsch to install U.S.-backed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, former U.S. ally Egypt is now also fully awake to the ‘Realpolitik’ tactics of the Empire of Chaos. Who –other than the U.S. Media– could miss the mass-murder and suffering created by the U.S. slogging its way through the Middle East and North Africa, destabilizing and wrecking Libya, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan; none of whom are national security threats and have done nothing to threaten the U.S. in any way. And now a pivot to Asia? What madness! Russia and China wanted to be arms-length partners with the U.S. but U.S. military planners would have none of it. Now the U.S. has driven these two former rivals closer together to build a financial and security counterbalance against murderous U.S. global hegemony. The NWO must be crapping in their pants. We live in interesting times. Russia, China and others realize that the NWO represents an existential threat to the idea of the ‘Nation-State’ and to most of humanity; including the American people. Most Americans have yet to wake up to see who their real enemies are; hint: It’s not Russia or China. According to Catherine Austin Fitts, the Western Banks have stolen at least $40 trillion from their citizens, so these money masters still have plenty of juice to cause some global havoc advancing their mission. While Americans struggle under the tyranny emanating daily from their masters in D.C., will they finally wake from their slumber in time to identify the real villains in this geopolitical drama for world domination? Americans have been robbed, raped, pillaged and plundered, yet they remain loyal to the illusion that their vote still actually counts and America is a beacon of freedom for the world. Even after the U.S. Congress handed over the keys to America’s sovereignty to international bankers and corporations (all done in secret) with TPP, Americans are none the wiser. This soft coup d’état of America has already taken place, yet Americans still live clueless in their walled-garden of propaganda constructed by their masters.
In the article below, Pepe Escobar details Russia and China’s reaction to U.S. aggression, driven by a rabid U.S. desire for ‘Full Spectrum Dominance’. If Russia and China are successful, this does not bode well for the masters of the Angelo-American Establishment who use America as a military enforcement appliance.
Throughout the history of United States Foreign policy the U.S. Government has often justified or called for the invasion of another country by claiming the need to remove a dictator who was committing human rights abuses against his own people.
But what is not commonly known is that throughout that same history the U.S. Government also gave military and financial support to numerous tyrants and terrorists with the full knowledge and awareness that these groups were committing human rights abuses against their own people.
This is something the mainstream media in America will never talk about.
And while the media and the U.S. Government tells us that “terrorists hate us for our freedoms”, perhaps it’s much closer to the truth to say they hate us for propping up dictators around the world, who kill, torture, steal from and unjustly imprison their citizens.
COMMENT:“Again, as Quigley points out, the “power structure” that he exposed isn’t loyal to Communism, or Socialism, or Fascism, or capitalism. The Network is happy to exploit the rhetoric of any movement or ideology, prop up any dictator or tyrant, and support any economic or political model, provided it serves their one overarching aim. That aim, to bring “all the habitable portions of the world under their control,” is as old as the lust for power itself. The death and suffering that their policies have already caused in pursuit of this aim are incalculable. Allowing them to continue as they have will only bring more of the same.
Tragedy & Hope 101 by Joe Plummer
–If there is one goal for this book, it is to expose the attitude and inherent nature of those who seek to dominate others. Don’t worry about remembering all of the dates and names that have been listed. Don’t worry about trying to recall all of the specific events. (All of that information will always be here if you need to find it again.) Instead, make it a point to simply verify the following: there is no lie that these men will not tell. There is no crime that they will not commit. The only measure of “right” and “wrong,” in their view, is whether their tactics succeed or fail. This might sound like hyperbole now, but by the end of this short book you will understand the truth of this assertion. (The Network’s game is won by those who calculate properly, and moral considerations only impede accurate calculation.)” —Tragedy and Hope 101
If you understand how the money powers use USAID, IMF the World Bank and other financial orgs to transfer ownership of real assets on the cheap, you will recognize these same techniques being used on Greece today. This is commonly known as ‘Asset-Striping’ a country by those who do this for a living. PCR (Paul Craig Roberts) recently did an excellent breakdown on this in an interview on The Mind Renewed by Dr. Julian Charles. Below, I have broken down the steps used in 3rd – World nations in Latin America and other regions of the globe. Why is this important? Well, this is what is being done to Greece and what is in store for any other members of the EU who get out of line; and it must be noted that the USA is not immune.
ASSET-STRIPPING Sovereign Nations, by the books:
1. Country “X” is identified as being financially weak, yet has valuable assets like natural resources or has geopolitical value
2. Country “X” is then targeted by the USAID, IMF & World Bank for loans.
3. Representatives are sent into Country “X” to do studies to prove up (by exaggerated estimates) what this or that infrastructure will do for the economy of Country “X”.
4. This inflated estimate for money is then included as part of a loan request to the bank. This is the cover.
5. Loan is committed
6. Heads of State of Country “X” siphon off much of the money to private bank accounts
7. Most of the work for the infrastructure improvements goes to well-connected multinational corporations not to local companies.
8. Country “X” cannot pay loan back
9. Bank offers additional money to help Country “X” if they will implement “austerity measures” which effectively puts the bankers in charge of running the country.
10. Country “X”, still cannot make payments on loan.
11. Bank takes control of assets and natural resources of Country “X”
12. Bank sells assets, natural resources of Country “X” or provides monopolies to multinational corporations at pennies on the dollar, which still does not satisfy the debt. NOTE:Much of this is coordinated with the help of the US, CIA, NATO and the EU. If Country “X” will not go along with the loan, then Operation Gladio or a ‘Color Revolution’ is implemented to destabilize Country “X” for regime change.

What is the so-called “Greek Debt Crisis”? Is it simply the result of economic mismanagement by the Greek people and their successive governments, or is there more to it than meets the eye?
Joining us to answer this question, we welcome once again Dr. Paul Craig Roberts (former US Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy), who explains that the crisis is not fundamentally about debt at all, but rather the playing out of a strategy by the financial and political elites to establish two main principles: the looting of European countries by the “One Percent”, and the systematic destruction of their national sovereignty.
We also discuss the Iran Nuclear Deal and the recent address by UK Prime Minister David Cameron on “extremism” (described by Glenn Greenwald as “one of the creepiest and most authoritarian speeches you’ll ever hear.”)
Related NFO from Catherine Austin Fitts: Central Bank Warfare Model Wearing Thin (Published on Jul 19, 2015)
Join Greg Hunter as he goes One-on-One with investment banker Catherine Austin Fitts of Solari.com.
Show notes from ‘Central Bank Warfare Model Wearing Thin’:
Financial expert Catherine Austin Fitts says, “The central banking warfare model is wearing thin. There are three things you can do: You can have war, you can have depopulation or you can have change. The voice you are hearing coming back from the BRICS, the voice you are hearing coming back from the Greek people is let’s try change. The IMF is saying . . . you know they have a point. Puerto Rico and Greece have rung that bell that says we have to create value in the real economy. You can’t eat it if you don’t grow it, and we can’t grow it if we are all engaged in disaster capitalism.”
“Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs [“From the Shadows”], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?
Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.”
Concerning the aiding and funding of the updated Mujahideen-Al Qaeda-ISIS brand, Logistics 101: Where Does ISIS Get Its Guns by Tony Cartalucci.
“From offices at secret locations, American intelligence officers have helped the Arab governments shop for weapons, including a large procurement from Croatia, and have vetted rebel commanders and groups to determine who should receive the weapons as they arrive, according to American officials speaking on the condition of anonymity.”
And while Western media sources continuously refer to ISIS and other factions operating under the banner of Al Qaeda as “rebels” or “moderates,” it is clear that if billions of dollars in weapons were truly going to “moderates,” they, not ISIS would be dominating the battlefield.
Recent revelations have revealed that as early as 2012 the United States Department of Defense not only anticipated the creation of a “Salafist Principality” straddling Syria and Iraq precisely where ISIS now exists, it welcomed it eagerly and contributed to the circumstances required to bring it about.”
Saudi Arabia, is of course one of the world’s chief funders of terror, operating as a proxy for the western elites. Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait are all “Gulf Cooperation nations,” arising from the aegis of the British Empire, and adopted under the U.S. empire. And what is constantly forgotten is the origin of this cadre’s alignment of the West through oil production was not merely the result of OPEC and Kissinger, it was in fact organized by Bilderberg: It was Bilderberg that organized the 70s OPEC oil debacle. Isn’t it curious the GCC pro-terror states are also western-supplying oil states? Citing William F. Engdahl in his A Century of War, Andrew Gavin Marshall writes:
“One enormous consequence of the ensuing 400 percent rise in OPEC oil prices was that investments of hundreds of millions of dollars by British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell [both present at Bilderberg] and other Anglo-American petroleum concerns in the risky North Sea could produce oil at a profit,” as “the profitability of these new North Sea oilfields was not at all secure until after the OPEC price rises.” In 2001, the former Saudi representative to OPEC, Sheik Ahmed Yamani, said, “’I am 100 percent sure that the Americans were behind the increase in the price of oil. The oil companies were in real trouble at that time, they had borrowed a lot of money and they needed a high oil price to save them.” When he was sent by King Faisal to the Shah of Iran in 1974, the Shah said that it was Henry Kissinger who wanted a higher price for oil.” (136-7)
Heartland versus Rimland
In other words, war is a racket, as General Smedley Butler famously stated, and the new “War on Terror” (TM) of our day is not new, but an updated version of the old British strategy of staving off Russia. Little has changed a century later, as the major power bloc of the West, the Atlanticists still charge forward according to the Mackinder Heartland doctrine that the western merchant/banking sea power must dominate and control the Eurasian “heartland” to ensure no Eastern rivalry. Through the export of Opium, China was subjugated, and through export of Marxism, both China and Russia experienced the havoc of western-born ideological materialism.
It is precisely this same utilitarian Anglo-empiricist, pragmatist philosophy that has ultimately turned on its own populace in a parasitical fashion unheard of for past empires. Promising sensual and economic utopia, the Bolshevik export to Russia on the part of the Atlantic banking power is not the top-down social engineering strategy of the corporate elite upon the U.S. population itself. The great delusion is that the West is “free,” when it is entering the realm of greater enslavement than Sovietism experienced. The only difference is the foolish western populace cannot grasp their enslavement is at the hands of Marxist corporations.
The central banks, the Fortune 100 and their shareholders love cultural Marxism and command and control, socialist economic models because it is the quickest way to consolidate wealth and transfer the actually valuable assets to the controlling oligarchy. In such a system, the opposition will inevitably all be titled “terrorists,” as the appellation is already being extended beyond radical Islamists. And after it extends beyond the average person, the conditioning will be so strong that any thoughts, words, actions or potential-pre-crime actions will also follow under the elastic notion of “terror.”
Terrorism is thus a social weapon, not of indigenous, individual “actors” and lone wolves, but stage managed dupes, patsies and tools of an international oligarchical cartel, as Orwell demonstrated in 1984 with the fictional villain of Immanuel Goldstein. Indeed, who funds these groups? (We saw who, above). The most obvious fact of the contradiction of the “War on Terror” (TM) is that it almost always works to further Washington’s domestic and geopolitical aims. Terror, then, is like Trotsky’s notion of perpetual war – perpetual war on the psyche of the globe (it’s a global war on terror), as a phase in the dialectical convergence on the path to global government. That is why terrorism serves western political aims.
The idea behind ‘Anglo-American‘ Geopolitics is to remove the concept of the ‘nation-state’ and replace it with global governance: a single point of control. To do this, our masters need to fuse 1) the North American Union; 2) the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and 3) the European Union (EU) into one organization. Monies from carbon taxes will help support this governing bureaucracy — ergo the need for man-made global warming. They still need China, Russia, Iran and some other stragglers to join the club of one. Libya, Syria and many others have been dealt with. Ukraine is being used to draw Russia into making the mistake of attacking. To accomplish this grand scheme, they need a major global crisis to bring everyone to heal so that they can save the world from the problems they created.
Don’t believe me? Inform yourselves by reading Antony C. Sutton’s book entitled ‘Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution’. Did Stalin kill millions of people including Ukrainians? Yes. Did the New York Times cover-up Stalin’s genocide? Yes. Did the Wall Street bankers fund arms through Russia used against U.S. Soldiers in Vietnam? Yes. Is Putin a saint? No. Putin is ex-KGB (USSR) and as a requirement of staying in power must deal with the corrupt oligarchs left over from the USSR era and the newly minted mafiosi in Russia today. While all of this is true, don’t confuse the old Soviet USSR (existed between 1922 and 1991) with the current Russian Federation. They are not the same. The ‘Anglo-American Establishment‘ of international bankers who run the USA are after a one world government. Putin still believes in the ‘nation-state’ as most Americans do. This, my friends, is what the real battle with Russia is all about. The propaganda you read and watch in the Western press is orchestrated by the same people who are shredding the U.S. Constitution and would enslave you. Get a clue. By buying into and repeating the Western propaganda against Russia, you are unwittingly promoting the sacrifice of your sons and daughters to advance the NWO’s agenda and your own enslavement.
“There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolutionary socialists – to their mutual benefit.” -Antony C. Sutton Wall Street And The Bolshevik Revolution
For years I’ve struggled with the problem of how to communicate the real documented history of the Western world against a huge sea of misinformation, propaganda and out right lies promulgated by our all-encompassing power structures which envelop our lives. There seemed to be but one course; and that was to read, read, read and study. With work and family commitments, most people just don’t have time to read the tens of thousands of pages necessary to bring this orchestrated mirage into sharp focus; so the propagandists win the NFO-War by default, simply because they own the major media organs of the state and corporate controlled entertainment and news media, which is all most people ever see.
This fabricated field of acceptable assumptions is what I term the ‘walled-garden of history and politics’; this is where our trusted pundits live, battling their truth-claims: whether they be on the right or the left, or somewhere in between; the game is always played within the confines of these walls, and we who live within the ‘Walled Garden’ are never, ever to reexamine the assumptions which form the foundation of the walls, because if the assumptions prove faulty, then the entire wall might come tumbling down. These are the rules that must be observed for acceptance and success. This contrived reality sets the rules of the game and of permissible discourse: woe be it to anyone who dares look over these walls of prefabricated assumptions, built by the power-elite in their comfy ivory towers of perfect knowledge of right and wrong; truth and falsehoods. This garden –surrounded by walls– represents the establishment’s consensus, group-think and therefore absolute, inviolable truth to the majority of people. This hoax, is their true power.
So how to penetrate the impenetrable without the personal desire or the luxury of years reading and studying the actual documented facts of history exposed by the likes of Carroll Quigley, Antony C. Sutton, Joe Plummer and others?
Unlike many who pontificate based on the assumptions of the power-elite, Joe Plummer has paid his dues. Joe has spent much of his life studying the thousands of pages which document the real history of the Anglo-American Establishment, and now you can be the beneficiary of Joe’s amazing journey. As you read Joe’s three excellent books, the scales will fall from your eyes and you will see clearly perhaps for the first time in your life. The unintelligible will now make sense when placed in its proper context.
Leaving the Illusion by Joe Plummer is his first and only Novel which though fanciful is based solidly on detailed research and fact. This book, I believe, is one of the keys to the problem I identified above of unlocking and freeing the masses from the social engineering that has been so successful in the West and around the globe. Please read and enjoy Joe’s excellent book and maybe you too can leave the illusion. But don’t stop there, the facts upon which this book rests are summarized, documented and condensed in Joe’s other two books: ‘Dishonest Money and Tragedy and Hope 101′.
Leaving the Illusion (2015 Edition)

“Imagine for a moment what it would be like; ten years worth of hard work and a life-long dream, gone. Your self respect and dignity, in shambles. As you question what you’re made of, and as you wonder how you’ll ever claw your way back to the top, an incredible opportunity presents itself. There is only one catch: It will cost you everything you know about the world around you.
Leaving the Illusion delves into the darkness of an unseen world; a world where the “dominant few” do as they please to the “inferior many” that live beneath them. For the insiders, there is unimaginable wealth, power and privilege. For all others, there is only deception, theft and violence. Given a choice, which group would you join? Are you sure? The price of admission might be more than you can afford.”
Interesting, but lengthy analysis of Mackinder and Zbig’stheory of the World Island from 2006 in the link below. Though Eurasia may not possess the specific strategic qualities identified by Mackinder, it is nonetheless the major game on today’s geopolitical stage, bringing together Russia and China while the Anglo-American Establishment (represented by US/UK) is being left out in the cold.
North America
The World Island
As a result of my Anglo-American education, most maps I grew up with had the USA as the center of the known universe with the globe slightly tilted to display more of the northern hemisphere. And of course across ‘the pond’ was Western Europe. However, if we reposition our vantage point to be centered over central Asia, the world takes on an entirely new flavor. This view is a view of the great ‘World Island’ (including China, Russia, Middle East, Africa, India, Europe, the *stans, etc.) and is what our geopolitical planners and of course Russia, China and others are keenly aware of. From the late 16th century to WWI (World War One), the British extended and maintained its empire by controlling the seas. After the Empire’s pentacle of power marked by WWI, the control of the seas was bequeathed to Briton’s Prodigal child, the USA. Implicit in controlling the seas is the desire to control the land masses behind the seas since it is far easier and less expensive to control the seas and project power from the seas than to attempt to control all the land inland. So, from WWII to present, this has been the USA’s default position. Control of the seas was essential to control those who lived on the land behind the seas.
China and Russia fully understand they are no match for the military might of the USA, but the USA is heavily committed to the old, outdated British paradigm of controlling the seas to control the land. Zbig and others recognized this one dimensional weakness and set about new methods and strategies (including Gladio Operations, Color Revolutions, NGOs, forward NATO bases, USAID, World Bank, IMF, etc) to contain their existing vassal states and to bring Russia and China under control or at a minimum limit their ability to contest the primacy of the mono-polar world of the Anglo-American power structure. If you look at a map of US Military and NATO bases, you will quickly discover the USA’s plan of encircling and containing Russia and China.
Russia and China are pragmatic and realize that they cannot control the seas or directly contest the USA’s massive military; so have decided to go inland, rehydrate the old Silk Road and build a new financial infrastructure without the Anglo-American Establishment’s permission.
“A victorious Roman general, when he entered the city, amid all the head-turning splendor of a `Triumph,’ had behind him on the chariot a slave who whispered into his ear that he was mortal. When our statesmen are in conversation with the defeated enemy, some airy cherub should whisper to them from time to time this saying: Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island; Who rules the World-Island commands the World.” –Sir Halford Mackinder, 1919
“Paradoxically, our attempts to prevent a Eurasian anti-American alliance may make that outcome more likely. As Steven Walt has persuasively shown, imbalances of threat, not imbalances of power, drive alliances together. Our attempts to project power into the Heartland, if done clumsily, can heighten threat perceptions in its capitals, making such counterproductive alliances more attractive.” – Christopher J. Fettweis
