Your U.S. tax dollars at work, and for what benefit? Did the U.S. spread democracy to Vietnam? Nope. You can’t spread what you don’t have. BTW, the war in Vietnam was based on a U.S. lie (as requested by LBJ) of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which never, ever happened. After 1.5 to 3.6 million innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered by the United States of America and 58,209 young Americans lost their lives, the U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara later admitted the Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. Oops. So sorry. Who benefited? Not you, not me and not the Vietnamese. The banksters and the defense contractors did pretty darned well. Yachts and multiple homes, fat bank accounts and the appearance of legitimacy for all. War is good business. Had JFK not been assassinated, would he have been obliged to create such a lie as LBJ? Doubtful, but we will never know. This one instance should give anyone with an I.Q. above a stalk of broccoli a taste of who the psychopathic mobsters are who actually run this country. See Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Ukraine for more examples of the same. All based on lies supported by the existing power structure and their bought and paid for mainstream media talking heads. Get a clue.
The false flag Gulf of Tonkin Incident Vietnam
Robert McNamara admits Gulf of Tonkin attack did not happen
Same story, different country … seems like a repeat in every nation the U.S. has attacked over the past 12 years. You may not care about the plight of these poor people in Yemen or about the plight of the folks in other countries the U.S. has attacked without provocation (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria), but these war crimes are being orchestrated and facilitated by your own Pentagon under your control. What goes around, comes around and these psychopaths who are slaughtering or causing to be slaughtered these now millions of innocent people across the globe will not have a second thought of turning on you when the time comes. Now is the time to rein in those in the U.S. Government who are engaging in the pointless murder and mayhem across the globe in your name with your tax dollars under false pretenses of the so called ‘National Security’ ruse. Get a clue.
A one of a kind interview with the head of the Russian Government’s foreign intelligence service.
Lieutenant General Leonid Reshetnikov (Rtd) – Director of Russia’s Institute of Strategic Research
“A few weeks ago Colonel General Igor Sergun, the Head of the Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff of the Russian armed forces, gave a brief interview in which he publicly linked the U.S. to jihadi terrorism. Now it is the turn of Lieutenant General Leonid Reshetnikov, Director of the Russian Institute of Strategic Research (RISR), the Russian government’s chief centre for foreign policy analysis.”
Q – That is, the joint Russian-American fight against terror, in particular, against ISIS – is a fiction?
“Of course. America creates terrorists, feeds them, trains them, and then gives an order to the whole pack: “catch”. Perhaps, they can shoot one “rabid dog” in the whole pack, but the other dogs will be set even more actively.”
Q – Some European leaders already lament that the USA effectively forced sanctions on them. Europe may break out of the “friendly” American embrace?
“Never. America holds her on several chains: the Federal Reserve printing press, the threat of color-coded revolutions and of the physical elimination of unwanted politicians.”
Q – Are you exaggerating about the physical elimination part? “Not at all. The Central Intelligence Agency of the USA is not even an intelligence service based on the level of the tasks set before it. The PGU KGB or the SVR of the RF are classical intelligence services: information gathering and reporting to the leadership of the country. In the CIA these traditional features of an intelligence service are at the end of the list of its problems. The main goals are: elimination, which included physical elimination, of the politicians and the organization of coups. And they do this in real time.”
Q – Leonid Petrovich, you think that the USA and the American presidents are just an instrument. Who do you think determine their policy?
“There are communities of people who are effectively unknown to the public, which not only determine the American presidents but also determine the rules of the whole “big game”. In particular, these are the transnational financial corporations. But not only them.”

Most people have no clue of who the RAND Corp. is, their history or their function within the U.S. Federal Government. Below is the leaked document from the RAND Corp. that identifies their plan for eastern Ukraine. Why is this important to you? Because it reveals their methods and procedures that our U.S. Pentagon Planners take very seriously and frequently act upon. This will also give you some sense of what to expect when and IF these techniques are turned in upon U.S. Citizens. There are many other interested parties and participants in the U.S.-backed and orchestrated coup in Ukraine back in Feb of 2014, but this provides a level of detail left out of some of the other geopolitical strategies found in Zbig’s Grand Chessboard, etc.
A strategic document by the US military think tank RAND Corporation on the plan in eastern Ukraine was leaked. The Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko follows the action plan proposed by RAND analysts. The document provides three stages of a military operation in eastern Ukraine.
During the first stage of the military operation in Ukraine martial law should be introduced, considering that all local citizens are terrorists or sympathizers. Regions supporting militias must be completely isolated. All types of communications should be blocked, curfews should be established.
The second stage of the plan involves the seizure of territories. The cities should be entered with armed vehicles, which open fire on all armed people. All the men sent to filtration camps. People featuring traces of combat engagement shall be tried in court for terrorism.
The third phase of the plan involves the restoration of the regions. The borders shall be strengthened to avoid possible provocations. All the refugees should be checked for possible support for separatists in internment camps.
Years ago, when I was at the University studying mathematics and philosophy, I would wander down to the most excellent library and ply my way through some of the more exotic periodicals. Two were particularly interesting. One was called ‘Defense Attaché’; a magazine which advertised military weapons like tanks, jets, automatic guns, ammo, bombs, missiles, etc. Unlike most magazines I had read about the military prior to this, Defense Attaché was unabashed and completely unafraid to reveal their real purpose; which was to sell implements of death and destruction to anyone with money. The ads were nonchalant and matter of fact about what they were selling; and amazingly they used the same advertising techniques found on Madison Avenue. One ad for a tank showed a man sitting on the tank with his pals smoking a cigarette with a very satisfied look on his face. His arm resting on the gun turret and he was bragging about how many people he had just killed before lunch, etc. What was also amazing was all the ‘mom and pop’ ‘All-American’ companies who advertised in Defense Attaché like Garcia fishing rods, Ralston Purina, etc. They were all in on this very lucrative business of blowing their fellow humans to smithereens without a second thought.
Since that time, I’ve tried to get a copy of Defense Attaché, but it has completely disappeared or perhaps it still exists but is not readily available via a Google search. The IDE and Conference video below reminds me of Defense Attaché’s shopping mall atmosphere.
“Terrorists” Take Over the Stage (Extra Scene from ‘Rearming Iraq’) VICE News uploaded a new video. Here’s what the opening ceremony of an arms show in Abu Dhabi looks like:
Fort Hood has put a boot on the ground for every American life lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. A powerful memorial. Yet, another way to honor the war dead is to put a stop to all these pointless, unconstitutional wars.
If you have time to read the three well-researched and documented books by Antony C. Sutton listed here …
1) Wall Street & the Rise of Hitler; 2) Wall Street and FDR; 3) Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists … the self-righteous myths that tell us the USA is all about the spreading of democracy and the protecting of freedom will become an obvious, painful hoax to you. Yes, I too believed in these myths, but after the JFK assassination, the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the obvious coverup concerning the attacks on 9/11, it was finally time for me to dig in, invest some time and take a closer look at what our government was actually doing. Do I disparage our brave soldiers who fight to protect this country; who believe they are fighting for truth, justice and the American way? Not at all. I honor their well-intended sacrifices. But I am now aware of the deals made behind closed doors, as documented by Carroll Quigley (Anglo-American Establishment), Sutton and other top historians that base their research — not on official establishment propaganda– but on the facts as they find them; thereby removing the political spin and propaganda that we have all grown up believing. This is the critical point for me: If we care to regain the honorable ideals of a free and prosperous people, we must confront the evil that has infiltrated our government and surreptitiously controls the money system and therefore the government and all its machinery. This can not be done by pretending that facts are not facts. So if you choose to take this brave journey to the truth, buckle your seat-belts, it going to be a bumpy ride.
Here is just one example how our vaulted sultans of American Foreign policy honor our military:
“Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”
― Henry Kissinger
P.S. And to all my fellow patriotic citizens: Before you go about bashing my head against the wall with your fists, please read the above mentioned three books by Sutton and then we can sit down as adults and talk –not fight– about solutions and the sad predicament we all find ourselves and our beloved America in now on this May 25th, 2015 Memorial Day.
From Wikipedia: Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans — established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged, and Memorial Day eventually extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
War is a Racket (Video) by Smedley Butler is a famous speech denouncing the military industrial complex. This speech by two-time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient exposes war profits that benefit few at the expense of many. Throughout his distinguished career in the Marines, Smedley Darlington Butler demonstrated that true patriotism does not mean blind allegiance to government policies with which one does not agree. To Hell with war.
Eisenhower warns us of the military industrial complex.
Enjoy some brilliant analysis and incredible detail from one of my favorite writers and researchers, F. William Engdahl. The complete article is linked below.
On the tragedy of Beslan …
“On September 1, 2004, armed terrorists from Basayev and al-Khattab’s IIB took more than 1,100 people as hostages in a siege that included 777 children, and forced them into School Number One (SNO) in Beslan in North Ossetia, the autonomous republic in the North Caucasus of the Russian Federation near to the Georgia border.
On the third day of the hostage crisis, as explosions were heard inside the school, FSB and other elite Russian troops stormed the building. In the end, at least 334 hostages were killed, including 186 children, with a significant number of people injured and reported missing. It became clear afterward that the Russian forces had handled the intervention poorly.
The Washington propaganda machine, from Radio Free Europe to The New York Times and CNN, wasted no time demonizing Putin and Russia for their bad handling of the Beslan crisis rather than focus on the links of Basayev to Al Qaeda and Saudi intelligence. That would have brought the world’s attention to the intimate relations between the family of then US President George W. Bush and the Saudi billionaire bin Laden family.
On September 1, 2001, just ten days before the day of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, Saudi Intelligence head US-educated Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, who had directed Saudi Intelligence since 1977, including through the entire Osama bin Laden Mujahideen operation in Afghanistan and into the Caucasus, abruptly and inexplicably resigned, just days after having accepted a new term as intelligence head from his King. He gave no explanation. He was quickly reposted to London, away from Washington.
The record of the bin Laden-Bush family intimate ties was buried, in fact entirely deleted on “national security” (sic!) grounds in the official US Commission Report on 911. The Saudi background of fourteen of the nineteen alleged 911 terrorists in New York and Washington was also deleted from the US Government’s final 911 Commission report, released only in July 2004 by the Bush Administration, almost three years after the events.
Basayev claimed credit for having sent the terrorists to Beslan. His demands had included the complete independence of Chechnya from Russia, something that would have given Washington and the Pentagon an enormous strategic dagger in the southern underbelly of the Russian Federation.
By late 2004, in the aftermath of the tragic Beslan drama, President Vladimir Putin reportedly ordered a secret search and destroy mission by Russian intelligence to hunt and kill key leaders of the Caucasus Mujahideen of Basayev. Al-Khattab had been killed in 2002. The Russian security forces soon discovered that most of the Chechen Afghan Arab terrorists had fled. They had gotten safe haven in Turkey, a NATO member; in Azerbaijan, by then almost a NATO Member; or in Germany, a NATO Member; or in Dubai–one of the closest US Allies in the Arab States, and Qatar-another very close US ally. In other words, the Chechen terrorists were given NATO safe haven.”
No surprises here for regular readers of ClearNFO, but now it has been fully documented by the U.S. Government itself; only because of the constant legal pressure of Judicial Watch. This BTW is only the tip of the iceberg. Read a summary on the Benghazi / ISIS connection here, and search ISIS and/or Benghazi on the ClearNFO search function for more background NFO.
“These documents are jaw-dropping. No wonder we had to file more FOIA lawsuits and wait over two years for them. If the American people had known the truth – that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other top administration officials knew that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaeda terrorist attack from the get-go – and yet lied and covered this fact up – Mitt Romney might very well be president. And why would the Obama administration continue to support the Muslim Brotherhood even after it knew it was tied to the Benghazi terrorist attack and to al Qaeda? These documents also point to connection between the collapse in Libya and the ISIS war – and confirm that the U.S. knew remarkable details about the transfer of arms from Benghazi to Syrian jihadists,” stated Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president. “These documents show that the Benghazi cover-up has continued for years and is only unraveling through our independent lawsuits. The Benghazi scandal just got a whole lot worse for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.”
It has always been my opinion that the oligarchs of Russia, China and the West have more in common with each other than they do with their respective citizens within the countries of their origin. Thus, they are all globalists seeking power without regard to nation-state or the benefit of the individual. The report below challenges this idea. China and Russia seek to build a second world order to create a bipolar world order to offer a kinder, gentler world order and an alternative to the failing financial structure of the Anglo-American oligarchs of the West; or so this report would have you believe. I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of their intentions but human nature is consistent across national and cultural boundaries and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so I wouldn’t expect much better treatment under the new management. As they say: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. So Russia and China would convince us to trade one world order for another; yet most of us will have no choice. I am impressed that this report reveals Russia and China clearly understand what is a stake here and are under no illusions of the real intent and purposes of the ruling elite of the West. The days of the corporatocracy embodied in the American empire are numbered and that is clear to anyone who is vaguely familiar with arithmetic or the facts. So the question is, what comes next and what will the American empire do in the throws of self-inflicted wounds to save itself? Will America create WWIII to write off its massive debts? Will America turn in on itself as it apparently is doing, and destroy itself like it has done to so many other countries: Libya, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Ukraine, etc. (See America’s Achilles Heal, below)
Russia, China and others are building a new, replacement or alternative NWO (AIIB, BRICS, SWIFT analog, and the conversion of RMB into an international reserve currency based on the introduction of its gold standard), but this time they seek to do it ‘right’; based on the nation-state and with the consideration of the benefit of the individual citizen.
Below is an insightful report based on the recent ‘scientific-practical conference’ held in Beijing on May 4th, 2015. Despite being broken up into four parts it is a relatively short read showing that neither China nor Russia are the USA’s fools. It is no secret that the West’s oligarchs have destroyed the middle class and therefore the market economy; or that the massive debts created by the central banks can ever be repaid; and it is no secret that the unfunded liabilities or the promises the USA has made to its citizens can ever be paid and it is no secret that almost 100 million Americans are out of work despite the rosy official jobs reports. Both Russia and China are therefore making plans to combine their efforts financially and strategically to counteract what will inevitably be the failure of the US Dollar and the Western economies. They are very much aware that WWIII may be the West’s only solution for a debt write off, and are preparing for that challenge. The USA coup in Ukraine and the formation of a Nazi state has put both Russia and China on notice of the abject duplicity and corruption of the USA’s geopolitical strategy. Nothing could be clearer than the naked overthrow of Ukraine government by the USA to demonstrate to Russia and China that the US cannot be trusted. This has driven China and Russia closer together.
To counteract the fall of the USA, Russia and China –along with other countries– are currently constructing a second World Order governed not by international corporations but by Nation-States who consider not only efficiencies represented by profit but the benefit of their own citizens. A better NWO if you will. It is uncertain if the current NWO of the Western Globalists will survive or in what form, but in any event, China and Russia are preparing the infrastructure without asking the USA or its vassal states.
From Fort Russ by Mikhail Delyagin Translated by Kristina Rus. The familiar world has crumbled. Russia and China must create a new one. About the need to unite the potential of both countries.

Operation Paperclip was a foundational building block for the CIA:
Operation Paperclip “…(originally Operation Overcast) (1949–1990) was the Office of Strategic Services (OSS now the CIA) program in which over 1,500 German scientists, technicians, and engineers from Nazi Germany and other foreign countries were brought to the United States for employment in the aftermath of World War II.
To circumvent President Truman’s anti-Nazi order and the Allied Potsdam and Yalta agreements, the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA) worked independently to create false employment and political biographies for the scientists. The JIOA also expunged from the public record the scientists’ Nazi Party memberships and régime affiliations. Once “bleached” of their Nazism, the scientists were granted security clearances by the U.S. government to work in the United States. Paperclip, the project’s operational name, derived from the paperclips used to attach the scientists’ new political personae to their “US Government Scientist” JIOA personnel files.” — Wikipedia
