THE NEOCON/NWO INTEL CRIMES: WORLD WAR III MAY HAVE ALREADY BEGAN

THE NEOCON/NWO INTEL CRIMES: WORLD WAR III MAY HAVE ALREADY BEGUN

Population Cleansing Wars

 

By Gordon Duff,

It is a mistake to look on what has become endless wars, first centering in the Middle East, as struggles over religion, political theories, sectarian struggles or post-colonial realignments.  Each hypothesis fails.

Increasingly, intelligence analysts are agreeing on one thing, there is clear evidence of “game theory/chaos theory” with one clear purpose, to reduce populations in specific areas where key resources are in abundance.

The first hard evidence hit with the discoveries of Dr. Chris Busby, researching the effects of depleted uranium use in the Fallujah region of Iraq.  It took several years to get access to the area.  There was a reason.

 

Not only was it found that fertility had been suppressed and the region plagued with the onslaught of horrific birth defects but that samples taken from the local population indicated that it wasn’t just depleted uranium but pure, weapons-grade U-235 that was found.

A generational Crime Against Humanity is taking place with no one even being sought for prosecution

Not only were nuclear weapons used in Iraq but purposefully “dirty” weapons, not the more modern MRR (Minimal Residual Radiation) 3rd and 4thgeneration nukes developed at Livermore Labs in California after 1991.

It was at that time that their weapons program not only bifurcated into a highly classified area but largely went “dark” with top weapons physicists being kept “out of the loop.”

Thus, we find the use of dirty weapons, never meant to win a battle or reduce an enemy stronghold but to destroy a race.

Then, of course, there is still the issue of the endless tons of depleted uranium, not just Iraq but Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and perhaps even Syria.

Much of what we are witnessing was predicted by Zbigniew Brzezinski, who outlined exactly what we are seeing in his book, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives.

“In that context, how America ‘manages’ Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world’s three most advanced and economically productive regions.

A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa’s subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania (Australia) geopolitically peripheral to the world’s central continent.

About 75 per cent of the world’s people live in Eurasia, and most of the world’s physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world’s known energy resources.” (p.31)

Brzezinski and his crystal ball – he warned us, and still is

Brzezinski goes further, in fact our last two decades are based on his works, efforts he clearly now wishes could be reversed.

“Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. Nevertheless, the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public’s sense of domestic well-being.

The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization.” (p 31)

There we see before us, 9/11 outlined long before the marriage of Israeli and neocon fanatic, PNAC (Project for a New American Century) transcribed Brzezinski’s prediction into an action plan, a “New Pearl Harbor,” 9/11, a list of 8 nations to dismember, a timetable, initially ending in 2005.

Gwyneth Todd, former White House National Council

Veterans Today editor, Gwyneth Todd, while in meetings with Paul Wolfowitz and Ahmed Chalabi, was told of their plans.

First Iraq, then Iran, then the Caspian Basin, war after war to be orchestrated through false flag terrorism, invented intelligence, imaginary nuclear threats, all financed with profits from oil theft, drug running and the looting of the American economy.

There, the neocons differed from Brzezinski who had only looked on taking down the Soviet empire.  His template, in their hands, did, as predicted, not only destroy democracy in America but America itself.

Toward that end, we may well want to turn to a realistic examination of the disaster at Fukashima.  Conspiracy theorists claim the events leading to the nuclear disaster that dwarfs Chernobyl was caused by a nuclear weapon transferred by submarine from Germany.  A mysterious organization is named.

Hundreds of the world’s top scientists cite Fukashima as a potential “extinction event.”

A recent article by Kevin Barrett, writing for Press TV, outlines the track record of those labeled conspiracy theorists compared to what most now realize has been a conventional media likely tasked with mislabeling very real conspiracies as fantasy.

 

CIA 'helped Saddam Hussein carry out chemical weapons attack on Iran' in 1988 under Ronald Reagan

The United States helped Saddam Hussein attack Iran with chemical weapons in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war, it has been claimed.

Ronald Regan's administration, who supported the Iraqi dictator topple two decades later by the Bush government, fed information to Baghdad that helped them launch strikes.

U.S. officials gave Saddam's army details about the whereabouts of Iranian forces in 1988 knowing that he would deploy chemical weapons, Foreign Policy magazine reported.

Forces: Iraqi soldiers seen in 1980 at the start of the eight-year conflict with Iran. An estimated 20,000 Iranian troops were gassed to death

Iraq used mustard gas and sarin in early 1988 in four major offensives which helped bring about the end of the eight-year conflict.

During the whole war, up to 20,000 Iranian troops were killed by mustard gas and nerve agents from Iraq and 100,000 were wounded. They were able to launch the strikes after being given maps, satellite pictures and other intelligence by the U.S.

The Americans have always said that Iraq did not reveal that they would launch chemical strikes.

But documents released in the National Archives and interviews with former serviceman show that the U.S. acquiesced in the use of chemical weapons as they tried to help Saddam with the war


Foreign Policy magazine

Retired Air Force Colonel Rick Francona, a military attache who was working in Baghdad in 1988, told Foreign Police magazine said that they knew what Saddam was planning.

'The Iraqis never told us that they intended to use nerve gas. They didn't have to. We already knew," he told Foreign Policy.

Official documents revealed that the U.S. officials were given detailed information about the use of nerve gas by the Iraqis during the conflict. They indicate that the Americans knew more about Saddam's use of chemical weapons than previously thought.

The CIA's Director of Central Intelligence William J Casey was given detailed intelligence about the efforts of Iraqi chemical weapons plants to produce mustard gas for troops.

Dictator: The U.S. supported Saddam Hussein during the war Iraq-Iran war. Two decades later, he was captured by U.S. troops after being felled

Dictator: The U.S. supported Saddam Hussein during the war Iraq-Iran war. Two decades later, he was captured by U.S. troops after being felled

The cache of newly-released documents also revealed that the Americans feared the Iranians may launch terror strikes against the U.S. around the world if they had evidence to suggest the Ronald Reagan's administration acquiesced in Saddam's use of chemical weapons.

One secret document from September 1984, headed 'The Islamic bomb: Chemical rather than nuclear?', revealed the scale of Iraq's chemical weapons programme.

It said: 'Iraq has over the last several years developed a substantial CW (chemical weapons) production capability.

Conflict: Iranian soldiers praying during operation Nasser VII, northwest of the Irano-Iraqi front in August 1987

Conflict: Iranian soldiers praying during operation Nasser VII, northwest of the Irano-Iraqi front in August 1987

'CIA presently estimates that Iraq is capable of producing at least two tons per day of the nerve agent.'

Another document, marked 'Top Secret' from January 1985, indicated that the Iraqis would use chemical weapons against Iran. It said: 'The Iraqis have used chemical weapons in three separate battles beginning in August 1983 and will use chemical weapons on a wide scale in the event of another major Iranian attack.' The Geneva Protocol of 1925, which the Americans had ratified in 1975, states undertake that they will not use chemical weapons and agree they 'will exert every effort to induce other States' to do the same.

 

 

Michael Shrimpton

There was a “whistleblower,” Michael Shrimpton.  He was arrested by the Thames Valley Police, his computers and “thumb drives” seized.

Months later incriminating photos were found on his encrypted drives used to store intelligence documents.  However, upon forensic examination, the “evidence” against Shrimpton was shown to have been created after the drives were in police custody.

Despite this fact and wide backing within the intelligence community, Shrimpton is charged with the crime of reporting a terrorist threat.

What Shrimpton, a loyal British conservative, has been reluctant to believe is that those who are trying to destroy him are complicit in the acts themselves, not just Fukashima but a nuclear threat against the London Olympics as well.

You didn’t know, after all, the newspapers didn’t report it.  A “device” was seized, 550 kiloton (thermonuclear), found 8 miles from the stadium.  But then, as Dr. Barrett would say, “just another conspiracy theory.”

_____________________________________

THE “SILENT ARAB SPRING”

Rachel Carson – to whom we all owe a lot – a giant of her time

In 1962, Rachel Carson warned the world, in her book, The Silent Spring, of the destruction the petrochemical industry was unleashing with their pesticides.  Soon afterward, Carson was dead and “environmentalism” was soon labeled “conspiracy theory.”

Today, over half the world’s food supply is suspect, genetically engineered, not just crops but animals as well, a “Frankensteinian” food supply, animals that aren’t animals, drugged, “enhanced,” capable of introducing, not just diseases to humans but altering the nature of humanity as well.

Carson’s book described an America gone silent, insects, birds, and amphibians dying off.  Those of us old enough remember a very different outdoors than the one we see today.

What was done to Animal life may well have been a precursor to what we are seeing done to humanity itself, most particularly in the Middle East.

Here, the Brzezinski model, the PNAC model, the Zionist “Greater Israel” model, come together.  One thing stands in the way of the success of the “Grand Chessboard” more than any other, that thing is “people.”

An inexorably conclusion based on any rational examination of recent history with appropriate intelligence “modeling” applied is that we are missing a “prime mover.”

We are missing a “conspiracy.”

We now have endless evidence, long entered into supercomputers, evidence of manufactured terrorism, sectarian violence, phony revolutions, manipulation of thoughts and beliefs, patterns that could be missed by the public but clear to any professional.

Sections of planet Earth are being systematically made uninhabitable, radiation, disease, corruption, violence, orchestrated hate and fear, a very real conspiracy.

 

DOMINOES

Domino Theory game still being played in endless adaptions

The “Domino Theory” was the basis of the Truman Doctrine, the geopolitical effort to encircle and suppress the growth of communism, a theory developed by Secretary of State George Marshall.

Saving Europe, the “Marshall Plan” was part of it.  Enslaving the Middle East, creating the State of Israel and spreading inhuman dictatorships around the world was another.

Toward that end, what some mistake as the policy of the United States and “NATO,” was then characterized and oversimplified under what historians still term, “the Cold War.”

Conspiracy theorists see it differently.  They see beyond politics, beyond “class struggle,” beyond regional and sectarian movers.  They see the “unseen.”

The point is a simple one.  Are there groups capable of orchestrating world strife in a heartless and inhuman manner to serve an agenda so evil and hideous as to poison the world with radiation and disease, to treat the world as a “Grand Chessboard,” pitting nation against nation?

A document, long discredited, called, in short, “The Protocols,” offers one hypothesis loaded with interesting predictions.  It is historically lazy to turn to such a simplistic explanation, one “fed” to the world.

If conspiracy is real, and intelligence modeling affirms that hypothesis, that a “Grand Chessboard” does, in actuality, exist, that the world is being “played” into a period of population decline, of “cleansing,” of wars, of pestilence, of famine, where have we heard those terms before?

___________________________________

THE UNSEEN

What are the odds of our being pawns…or even worse?

As with the science of astronomy, today’s sophisticated adaptive intelligence capabilities, can predict the unseen.  Astronomers find objects in space simply by their gravitational effect on nearby bodies.

This tells astronomers where to look and as technology has advanced, time after time predictions based on their modeling have resulted in “hard evidence” confirmation.

We are at that point in game and chaos theory modeling.  We have found the unseen but are not allowed to follow the prescribed path toward confirmation.

No real 9/11 investigation was allowed.  In fact, almost nothing is ever “investigated,” nothing that will lead toward exposing “the unseen” hands that move the pieces on the Grand Chessboard.

The only “program” that is run is the one that runs us.  Some call it “Hollywoodism,” some call it the “mainstream media.”

All should call it tyranny.  It is, in actuality, far worse than simple tyranny.  We are being erased.

In April 2006 marked the 20th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear disaster, when a reactor at the Chernobyl plant exploded, spreading a radioactive cloud across Europe and the Soviet Union.

But as these pictures show, there was no-one there to remember.

Some 50,000 residents from and around Pripyat were evacuated after the 1986 accident. Now, 27 years after the Chernobyl disaster, the contaminated zone with the abandoned town of Pripyat has become a popular tourist destination for numerous visitors.

To this day in Pripyat there is the remains a fairground with a ferris wheel and bumper car ride that look frozen in time.

Another eerily quiet town is Kolmanskop in Namibia, southern Africa. Here sand dunes have enveloped what was a mining settlement on the Namibian Diamond Coast.

It was abandoned in the 1950s after the Second World War as diamond prices crashed, and operations moved to Oranjemund.

In Cyprus, deserted houses and streets are seen in the town of Varosha, in northern Cyprus. Varosha was a popular seaside resort until the Turkish invasion in 1974. It lies between the Turkish Cypriot north of the island and the Greek Cypriot south.

And in South Tyro in Northern Italy sightseers gather where the village of Graun once stood. Now just a church tower can be seen sticking out of the partially frozen Lake Reschen reservoir.

The village was destroyed and the valley flooded in 1950, due to damming up the Etsch river to produce electricity.

In the U.S., perhaps the best known abandoned building across the nation stands derelict. The abandoned Michigan Central Station is seen in Detroit, Michigan.

The city is a part of America's Midwestern 'Rust Belt', the heartland of the country and home to big unionised manufacturers like the auto and steel industries.

For years, Michigan Central Station, the towering train depot on the outskirts of downtown Detroit, stood as a haunting symbol of the city's decline and fall.

The last train pulled out of the station in 1988, shortly before the Honda Accord became the best-selling car in America, a humbling milestone for the city and its top industry.

Continuing the industrial theme, old locomotives are seen in a train cemetery in Uyuni, near a salt flat some 290 miles south of La Paz.

These locomotives and freight cars were part of Bolivia's first railway network that carried minerals between Uyuni and Antofagasta, Chile, nearly a century ago, according to local media.

Closer to home, the eerie sight of derelict Maunsell Forts in the Thames Estuary can be seen. These were small fortified towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries built during the Second World War to help defend Britain from invasion.

They were named after their designer, Guy Maunsell. The forts were decommissioned in the late 1950s and later used for other activities.

One became the Principality of Sealand; boats visit the remaining forts occasionally, and a consortium called Project Redsands is now planning to conserve the fort situated at Redsand.

  • An old Cold War missile silo on 8.3 acres of land in upstate New York is being sold as a one family home for $750K. The missle silo was decommissioned in 1960 and the missile was removed from the property
  • The silo comes complete with an underground bunker and authentic, though non-working, military equipment
  • Realtors are charging perspective owners $375 just to see the property

In the market for a new home? A 1960's cold wold missile silo with a fully converted bunker can be all yours for just $750,000.

The missile silo, located Lewis, New York, that once held an Atlas missile, but was decommissioned in 1960 and emptied of all sensitive equipment, is now being sold as a one family home.

Complete with escape hatches, warning signs, rooms filled with control panels, one bedroom, and one bath, the silo sits on 8.3 acres of upstate farm land with a beautiful waterfront view on to the foot of the Adirondack mountains.

Realtor Brian Dominic told KGW Portland that the house is so popular, his company is charging $375 just to see it.

'We'll probably get 1,000 inquiries via emails, probably 100 phone calls and that will lead to a handful of people that will actually visit the property,' Dominic told the station.

The two-story missile silo has 32,000 square feet, and is equipped with one bedroom, a utilitarian 'cook top' kitchen, and one full bath.

However the perspective home is bit of a fixer-upper, as the listing notes the basement is partially unfinished.

The silo-home is even located in a good school district, according to the online listing.

No longer an active missile base, the silo is still full of quirky details that do have a certain Cold War charm.

The rooms are filled with light up control stations, heavy metal doors, and rusted military equipment, as well as, 'ominous red lights, blast doors, and an emergency exit,' according to Realtor.com.

The realtors have even stocked the house with yellow hard hats and army green jumpsuits for people who really want to get into the spirit of the complex.

Though the missile has long since been removed from the property, the empty air shaft can function as an impromptu skylight for the open-minded homeowner.

Built over 50 years ago the silo has the full amenities of modern living including a well drilled septic system, a propane water heater, cooling system for the whole house, and satellite dishes.

But if occupants ever feel claustrophobic they can simply venture outside to explore the grounds and look out on to the pond or at the foliage dotted mountains in the distance.

And if there is ever a nuclear war, consider yourself prepared.
