US Invades Iraq Because Some Schmuck Wanted A Green Card

curveball.jpgMeet “Curve Ball” - an Iraqi defector responsible to feeding the West false information about the status of Iraq’s biological weapons program.

Rafid Ahmed Alwan provided “information” which then became a pillar for the U.S. decision to bomb and then invade Iraq.

Remember Colin Powell presenting information at the UN to drum up support for the invasion of Iraq? Well most of this was because of Curve Balls lies. How stupid is this situation?

According a report on CBS 60 Minutes, which for you Americans will air on November 4th, Curve Ball was Chemical Engineering student - albeit a bad one with grades averaging around 50. He also has an arrest warrant for theft where he once worked.

It just goes to show the pathetic nature of the justification to go to war and the extent to which lies are used in the current Administration. As for Curve Ball and the reason why he did it;

“It was a guy trying to get his green card essentially, in Germany, and playing the system for what it was worth.” CBS

Now as the war machine powers towards Iran, watch out for more lies and false justification.

911 Mysteries Video

Whether you think it holds water or not, the 911Truth movement is gaining traction. In a recent report on MSNBC Tucker Carlson show, a poll was cited saying that one third of Americans believe the US government is not telling the truth about 911.

Now for the record, I am into 911Truth. Simple logic dictates that the official story the media and government spins is full of holes. I’m not saying that all the government is involved. I’m talking about rogue elements of the current administration with roots that go beyond parties and stretch before Bush’s administration and will reach reach into the next one.

If you sit on the fence on this debate or are not too well versed, I invite you to check out the following clips.

It’s certainly food for thought. As a result of 911, we have the “War on Terror” - a war many people have said will last for 100 years. After successfully selling the story that Iraq had WMD’s, now the propaganda machine has it’s sites set on Iran.

The CIA has set up a large propaganda machine, similar to the one set up for the war in Iraq, to prepare the public to swallow the “we need to go to war against Iran” pill. An interesting news report can be viewed here.

Tell me, did we ever find the WMD’s we were sure Saddam had? You know, the ones where fancy diagrams were presented at the UN in an effort to draw up support? Nope. And now we are about to be duped again by an Administration led by a liar and a criminal.

The neocons of American politics are a deadly, war hungry, hell bent group of leaders with people like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al, execute policy designed to implement PNAC - whether we like it or not.

For an interesting read on how this is panning out, read this article by Jim Holt, a New York Times Magazine and New Yorker writer. It talks about the untapped potential of Iraq’s oil - worth an estimated $30 trillion. But that’s not all. It also delves into protecting America versus the surge of China’s power. It talks about the US being the importer or cheap oil into Europe and it talks about the threat of Iran to this whole process.

And then we wonder why Iran is on the American radar. Iran is not a nuclear threat. Sure it has a whacked out leader, but so does America. No, Iran’s got oil also.

To protect the PNAC plan, the US will stay in Iraq on a long term basis. It’s building bases. Big ones.

Click here for the Google Maps page so you can zoom in on a base 40 miles north of Baghdad - and check out the football fields, swimming pools and fighter planes on the runway. It’s been said that the only runway used more then the one at this base is Heathrow airport.There are at least 5 of these super bases spread throughout Iraq. Designed to protect the oil fields American companies will soon have control over. And they will be used to launch an offensive against Iran - a mere 400 miles east of the base.

So. Still think 911 was caused by 19 hijackers controlled by some nut in a cave? Or can you see how “convenient” 911 was to implement the plans of the neocons?

Hugo Chavez - Friend Or Foe?

I have recently been asked a question regarding Hugo Chavez - the Venezuelan President. Being a lay guy and an Aussie puts me at a disadvantage to knowing what’s the gist on this guy. What happens in Venezuela has little bearing on my life in Melbourne, Australia.

But because I was asked by a friend as to what I think on this matter, I did some research and found this very interesting movie on YouTube named ‘The War On Democracy”. It’s done by John Pilger - a fellow Aussie who deserted his fellow Aussie and became a Pom.

I honestly don’t know much about Pilger and have no idea about his views or political leanings. Leanings to me are vitally important whenever whenever I research cause they expose the motives behind what is said.

Too many times people consume information without giving thought to the leanings of the information giver. Fox News is an obvious example. “We report. You decide” is their catch cry. What crap! It should say, “we report from a right wing, conservative perspective and we shoot down any dissent from our view and we belittle those opposing our view and then we brainwash - and then you are left to decide what we have carefully crafted for you to decide.” And to think that a fellow Aussie, Mr Rupert Murdoch runs this station is a disgrace. No wonder his son deserted him to live a normal life.

Now I am a Christian. Right wing or left wing? I don’t know. I’m not a bird. I like truth instead. John Pilger’s documentary can be viewed below. Click here to view his entry on Wikipedia. Click here for a Google search on the guy. You do the research. You decide. Be informed instead of relying on the media.

As to his credentials, here they are…

“John Pilger has been a war correspondent, film-maker and author, and has twice won British journalism’s highest award, that of Journalist of the Year. He has also been named International Reporter of the Year, and won the United Nations Association Peace Prize and Gold Medal. For his broadcasting, he has won France’s Reporter Sans Frontieres, and television academy awards in the United States and Britain. He holds the prestigous Sophie Award for “thirty years of exposing deception and improving human rights”.

Now that’s pretty impressive. So when a guy like this releases a major documentary, I sit up and take notice as it often paints a picture way different to what the media paints.

As I write this, I’ve only seen 3 out of 10 parts to his documentary below. It’s obvious that Pilger is pro Chavez. He is hinting of a President so popular in Venezuela - at least with the vast majority of poor citizens who now have a chance of a better life.

His detractors are the middle to high end Venezuelans whose high standard of living is threatened by the policies of Chavez. You see Chavez wants to use the money made in oil to help lift the poor out of poverty. The rich of Venezuela see this as a threat and therefore plot against the President using the media.

To you in the US who see Chavez as a criminal, I need to ask you if you have swallowed the propaganda pill of deceit. You see, Venezuela is the third largest oil importer into the US. Chavez’ policies threaten the cheap import of oil into your country.

Washington hates this.

The US is the largest consumer of oil in the world. A cheap, steady flow of oil into your country is vital to your economy more than any other country in the world. It dictates your foreign policy and moulds your perception as to who are the good guys in the world and who are the bad.

Chavez, because he cares for the poor in his country (cause he was once one of them) is now a “terrorist” building up the next Cuba. Character assignation and mass propaganda is making him look like the new Castro.

This is what Pilger claims in his movie. Like I said, I don’t know much about this topic. I don’t know much about Pilger. What I do know is that God help anyone who stands in the way of American interest.

You watch. You research. You decide.

USA - Police State

Lately, I’ve copped a bit of criticism for the political and conspiracy leanings of my blog. As an Aussie, some may say I have no idea or have no right to criticize what happens in the States. However I beg to differ.

Australia is part of the ANZUS treaty which dictates that if the US, Australia or New Zealand ever declare war, we support each other. So by default, my country has been dragged into the chaos of Mr George Bush and his cronies.

This sucks for many reasons. But what really gets me is how blind most Americans are to what’s happening in their own country. Most liberals vote Democrats cause they can’t stand conservatives. Most conservatives vote Republic cause they can’t stand liberals.

Christians tend to vote Republican due to issues like abortion and gay marriages. Non Christians tend to vote Democrats for the same reasons. And while there are legitimate reasons in this reasoning, they only scratch the surface of more sinister underlying issues.

America - the most powerful nation in the world and the salesman for democracy is falling apart due to the power hungry, money driven individuals ruling it. You think the President is in charge? You dreamer. You think policy - especially foreign policy - is party driven? You border on delusion.

The Bush Administration has fast tracked massive change in the US right under your noses and you have no idea. Moral Americans disgusted at Clinton’s antics and petrified by the atrocities of 911, are ignoring the massive changes happening without giving it any thought - let alone analyzing what the hell is going on the the worlds most powerful country.

Let this be a wake up call. George W Bush has sold out on you. Your beloved Constitution is not worth the paper it is written on any longer. The land of the free will, in the near future, be a chapter in a history book in a classroom of the next super power of the world. You are about to lose your status among the nations. You are a puppet of the New World Order.

Many are awakening to this reality and the cronies are aware of this. And this is why you are becoming a police state without you knowing or caring about it. I hope the following clip is sobering for you.

You may think I am anti-American. Believe me, this is far from the truth. I love the US as the best of mankind is a strong export from the US. But when I see warning signs left, right and center and few people even bother to sit up and take notice cause it shatters their conception of reality, I get alarmed.

As a Christian, I am aware of the turmoil prophesied on mankind. Problem is, most Christians are into the “let’s find a church that best suits my needs” instead of diligently studying scripture to try to understand the time they live in.

Prophecy paints a chilling description of the future of mankind. As a student of prophecy, the best advice given to me was to not try to predict things with prophecy. Instead, once things happen, prophecy is understood.

Having said that, pieces to the puzzle are always falling into place. The collapse of the Soviet Union allowed massive Jewish migration to Israel. The EU is seeing a Godless Europe unite like never before. There are wars and rumours of wars all over the place.

Jesus said that these things will happen. The Father said that He will gather his people back to their land. There are more Jews in America then in Israel. I have always believed that the collapse of America will occur soon in order for the Jews to return to their homeland.

Is the up coming police state and economic collapse going to be the catalyst to this happening? I don’t know. But it will be interesting to see how things pan out.

I’m not going to say much about the following video except that I apologise for the language and am also dismayed at why more American’s can’t see past the crap that is stacked up in front of the Bush Administration and it’s justification for war.

Wake up America!

You support an evil man and his cronies.

Ticked

ticked.jpg I like to keep a watch on general world events as it’s fascinating to see how things pan out and then watch all the rhetoric garbage follow in an attempt to justify or cover up certain actions.

As an Aussie, I have the “privilege” of having George Bush grace our wonderful continent as part of the APEC summit. Being a Melbournian, I am 900 kilometers away from the action. But my frustration goes out to my fellow Sydney based Aussies who have to deal with all the trappings of a city under “summit”.

The disruptions caused by this summit have been well documented. The net effects of the summit are in question as it represents the leaders of some of the poorest and most exploited people on this planet.

I almost crashed my car when I heard that China’s President, Hu Jintao, is coming with his wife and TWO kids! What the hell happened to China’s one child policy when it comes to the head honcho? In light of all the recent recalls on Chinese products, maybe China should recall their leader out of my country.

Then today I see that China has been accused of hacking computers. First German security interests were hacked with Beijing being bantered around as a prime suspect. Next we see the Pentagon hacked as well with Trojans and back doors - with a sign dangling, “Made in China”. Then they have the audacity of gathering together at a summit pretending to like each other while they secretly plot the destruction of each other.

Adding to the lovely lists of delegates is Mr Bush himself. A recent poll found that 52% of Australians see George as the worst President ever - with another 38% being undecided about how pathetic Bush is. On his way, he snuck into Iraq for a propaganda visit saying that troop build up has detered much havoc in the region.

I find this a joke as many analysts are now coming out of the wood work and openly discussing the next step the US will take in the region - the annihilation of Iran’s military.

So Mr gutless wonder, George Bush, sneaks into a country he has invaded spewing his rhetoric about how successful the US has been in the region while his cronies secretly plot the destruction of Iran. What will be the catalyst of this invasion? Another terrorist attack on US soil - aka false flag? Who knows? But 1,200 targets in Iran should be nervous tonight as they have laser guided missles pointing at them right now.

But all is good as the Asia Pacific “leaders” of the world gather in my country to discuss economic prosperity. Yeah trust money to be the only glue to gel all the world leaders.

Meanwhile a Category 5 “monster storm” is hitting Central America as we speak. My US readers. Please inform me how much news attention this devastating storm is getting in your wonderful country as it hits the “dead beats” south of your border. The “tossing of the seas” the Bible talks about as a sign of major trouble is ignored on mass as the networks feed you trash.

I’m tired of the US centric nature of so called “world news”. The masses are more inclined to watch sports or focus their attention on celebrities rather then to know what’s happening in the world.

And that’s why I am ticked tonight. This world is heading down the toilet and people don’t give a shit about anything which doesn’t affect their ability to earn money or pursue pleasure.
