As Russia and China move closer together both strategically and economically to counterbalance U.S. aggression, other nations are following. As Russia and China setup the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), BRICS, the SWIFT analog, and the conversion of RMB into an international reserve currency based on the introduction of its gold standard, other nations follow. Here are a few unanswered questions about this move to a new bipolar NWO:

  1. Will these efforts of China and Russia actually work?
  2. Will the New, NWO offer a counterbalance to the existing ‘Anglo-American’ NWO? or
  3. are the existing global elites merely hollowing out America to transfer their vast wealth into the new China-Centric NWO structure?

CCTVNews:  Speaking to CCTV, India’s Ambassador to China, Ashok Kantha, has said that the two countries need to take their economic relationship forward. He expects the two sides to sign more than 20 business deals during Indian PM Narendra Modi’s visit to China: China & India likely to ink over 20 deals during Modi’s visit

US anger at Britain joining Chinese-led investment bank AIIB  US statement says of UK membership that it is ‘worried about a trend of constant accommodation’ of China, in a rare public breach in the special relationship

Important to note that the IMF and the World Bank resulted from the Bretton Woods system designed to rebuild the international economic system while World War II was still raging (1–22 July 1944). Since 1944, the IMF and the World Bank have transmuted into economic weapons used to asset-strip targeted countries for the benefit of a few multinational corporations and then control sovereign nations. (See Confessions of an Economic Hit Man). BTW, it has been estimated that there will be a 40% drop in the overall living standard in the USA when the US Dollar loses its reserve currency status. From my perspective, it appears that U.S. bullying of Russia to surrender their sovereignty to the Anglo-American financial structure has backfired and caused China and Russia to make plans to replace the US and it’s vassal states in tow. Many of these vassal states are in a process of abandoning the good ship USA while joining the new China-Russia paradigm; keeping one foot in the old system and one in the new, to hedge their bets.

UPDATE: Russia-China

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. The article is based on the report at the scientific-practical conference “China and Russia in a changing world” in Beijing, on May 4, 2015.

Putin’s Number One Enemy?

Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin

Below is a fascinating –and I believe important speech– by Putin critic Mr. Bill Browder given on April 20th, 2015 at The Chicago Council on Global Affairs entitled Putin’s Number One Enemy?.  It is fascinating, because of the very personal and up close accounts and the unique delivery style of Mr. Browder; and it is important, because it provides some insight and detail on Putin and his relationship to the criminal oligarchs he must manage to stay in power.  I think  Mr. Browder identifies key elements necessary for Russia to prosper as a nation.  Those elements are the rule of law and the ideal of personal property rights.  It has been proven back in the Soviet era that a single pig farmer who owned his land was ten times more productive than a large collective of the state.  individual protections by law and the right to own land are primary for any society to prosper in my opinion.  These issues also point to what is wrong with America today and how America has strayed from its founding documents.  The Russian people are striving for a new and better way, yet the oligarchs –as in America– seek to secure monopolies and unfair advantage.  A fatal flaw in Mr. Browder’s speech is his unfortunate and mistaken belief that Putin invaded Ukraine, but much of the remaining is well worth your time.

While Mr. Browder is affable, likable and seemingly very approachable, he definitely has an insider’s pedigree evidenced by his massive fortune, attendance at Davos and his personal friendship with former Managing Director of Goldman Sachs Muneer A. Satter who provides the introduction to this speech.  Not only this, the money laundering bank, HSBC, serves as the trustee and manager at Browder’s Hermitage Capital Management Company. BTW,  HSBC was fined almost $2 billion for laundering money for the Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel and Colombia’s Norte del Valle cartel.

And of course you should know I can’t agree with some of the default positions of the sponsor (The Chicago Council on Global Affairs) regarding Russian aggression against Ukraine which is a myth whipped up by Western globalists and their vassal media organs. The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, was founded in 1922 and includes a who’s who of elites from Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, Boeing and token political lightweight elite wannabes like Michelle Obama.

Show notes from The Chicago Council on Global Affairs:

“In 2013 foreign investment in Russia reached a record high of $94 billion and Bloomberg Business called it one of the “50 Best Countries to do Business In.” Just one year later, the Ukraine crisis decimated Russia’s international standing, and the country’s economic fortunes plummeted in tandem with the value of the ruble. As the relationship between Russia and the West continues to deteriorate, economic problems appear of little concern to Vladimir Putin—a fact that former hedge-fund manager Bill Browder attributes to the endemic corruption among top Russian officials. Since 2005, Browder has publicly lambasted Putin for leading a regime he characterizes as brutal and corrupt, comparing it with a widespread criminal enterprise. Can Russia’s aggressive actions be attributed solely to Mr. Putin, or do they instead represent a return to the politics of Russia’s past? And as companies continue to invest in Russia and other emerging markets, what lessons can they take from Browder’s brush with Vladimir Putin’s Russia?”

Putin’s Number One Enemy?  The Chicago Council on Global Affairs (Apr 20, 2015):

Mr Browder has also written a book about his experience in Russia entitled Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man’s Fight for Justice.

‘The Killing of Osama bin Laden’ by Seymour M. Hersh

And again here …

Seymour Hersh: ‘Obama’s Entire Account Of bin Laden’s Death Is One Big Lie; This Is What Really Happened’

Osama bin Laden Capture

Osama bin Laden Capture

Headlines like those above are being posted and re-posted on Facebook and elsewhere by many disillusioned Mainstream Media-Types like Mark Levin and Wayne Allen Root since it is considered safe territory because Sey Hersh is a major Mainstream Media guy himself.  This is not to say I don’t like or appreciate Levin, Root or Hersh, but like so many making a real living reporting the ‘news’, they dare not walk too far off the beaten path else-wise they be labeled kooks or labeled with the CIA created weaponized term ‘Conspiracy Theorists’.  It is safe waters to follow Hersh into the lies of Obama concerning the killing of Osama bin Laden, but no further.

Hersh’s articles above represent just another important data point, but let us not dismiss the existence of other evidence that Osama bin Laden had died prior to the Navy Seal assault on Abbottabad and that there is exactly zero physical evidence he was killed by the US at all. We also should remember that Osama was at one time a CIA asset and was paid $3 billion of your tax dollars to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. Many think Osama continued as a CIA asset even after the Russians withdrew hostilities in Afghanistan. It is also important to realize that other than the geopolitical importance of Afghanistan and of giving the Russians their Vietnam, Opium is key. The opium trade since the US takeover of Afghanistan has grown from 10% to an estimated 80% of the world’s supply; and that it is a documented fact that US military are on the ground in Afghanistan protecting the opium fields and production that once belonged to the Russians. It is also a fact that the CIA has a long history of supplementing its US-funded black budget with illegal drug trafficking. And one last nagging question: If Osama bin Laden was in fact head of Al-Qaeda, and in fact it was Al-Qaeda who attacked the U.S. on 9/11, why would the Navy Seals be ordered to kill the greatest potential source of intelligence on Al-Qaeda and the attacks of 9/11? None of this passes the smell test. It is a documented fact that Al-Qaeda is a creation of the U.S. and the forensics of the 9/11 attack have been hidden and subverted by top levels in the U.S. Government. The 9/11 Commission report is blatantly false and a whitewash. Further, there is great evidence that the House of Saud assisted U.S. Officials in the attacks on 9/11.

And one must wonder why after documenting lie after lie from Obama, Hersh ends this article with the following Obama complement on Iran, while shifting some blame onto conservative Republicans in Congress :

“Obama today is not facing re-election as he was in the spring of 2011. His principled stand on behalf of the proposed nuclear agreement with Iran says much, as does his decision to operate without the support of the conservative Republicans in Congress. High-level lying nevertheless remains the modus operandi of US policy, along with secret prisons, drone attacks, Special Forces night raids, bypassing the chain of command, and cutting out those who might say no.”

Very bizarre to say the least.

Though we know the U.S. Government runs on lies and propaganda, it’s refreshing to see that none of this nonsense fools the intrepid and brilliant Paul Craig Roberts…

Seymour Hersh Succumbs To Disinformation — Paul Craig Roberts

Seems that PCR is one of the few who have finally put down the official government Kool-Aid, drank a little coffee and looked over the ‘Walled-Garden’ of politics within which so many voluntary place themselves.

Small progress, but progress none the less.

Oops… uh oh…  guess Obama lost some eye witnesses to the bin Laden killing.

ABC NEWS (Aug. 6, 2011) : “A helicopter was shot down today by Afghan insurgents as it was rushing to aid troops in a firefight, killing 30 Americans, including 22 Navy SEALs, most of whom belonged to Team 6, the unit whose members were involved in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, U.S. officials said.” 30 Americans Killed Including 22 SEALs When Afghan Insurgents Shoot Down Helicopter

Ben Franklin

Ben Franklin

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” old Ben Franklin –with his balding head, pot belly and a penchant for the fairer sex– was leaving the Constitutional Convention at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when a lady walked up to the good doctor and asked him: “Well Doctor what have we got here, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”

Independence Hall BTW, is where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. Though today the words democracy and republic seem interchangeable in the popular media, they are very different. (Note: If you want to discover the weighty difference between a republic and a democracy read the ClearNFO link HERE.)

Independence Hall

Independence Hall

In 1951 Robert Hutchins writes in the preface of the Great Books of the Western World: “We believe that the reduction of the citizen to an object of propaganda, private and public, is one of the greatest dangers to democracy. A prevalent notion is that the great mass of the people cannot understand and cannot form an independent judgment upon any matter; they cannot be educated, in the sense of developing their intellectual powers, but they can be bamboozled. The reiteration of slogans, the distortion of the news, the great storm or propaganda that beats upon the citizen twenty-four hours a day all his life long mean either that democracy must fall a prey to the loudest and most persistent propagandists or that the people must save themselves by strengthening their minds so that they can appraise the issues for themselves.”

Robert M. Hutchins, page xiii
December 1, 1951
Preface to the Great Books of the Western World.
The Great Conversation

So, here in America, we have prospered in our ‘democracy’ –which in fact was never a democracy but a republic– and round about this miracle of human history and achievement, icons like Apple Pie, Patriotism, Baseball, white picket fences and hometown America have emerged implanting themselves permanently into the collective psyche of generations of Americans. We have proud visions of brave young men going off to war risking death, physical and psychological injury to protect our precious America; and I for one, still believe in these ideals. However, at some point we must reconcile our ideals with the massive amount of documented evidence, and start to confront the facts as they exist; thereby leaving the false comfort of what has become a perpetuated myth of the old America. Since Benjamin’s conversation at Independence Hall in 1787, the republic has been under constant assault by those who would be her King. After decades of cloak and dagger finagling and wrangling, a private group of men were finally successful in placing themselves at the pinnacle of America’s power in 1913; thereby subverting the protection of the republic crafted at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. This was no accident, but a carefully planned and executed ambush by very powerful and determined men who schemed in secret. The artifacts that testify to the truth of this ambush and successful coup can be found in the Federal Reserve Act and the 16th Amendment. The planning, execution and the historical details of this coup have been meticulously documented in G. Edgar Griffin’s ‘The Creature from Jekyll Island’.

From 1913 forward, we see President Wilson’s fears that he had ruined America with the Federal Reserve Act and the power bequeathed thereby to these men made manifest to the observant world in geopolitical events, murder and assassinations that followed.

From the unannounced 1913 American Coup, The Federal Reserve Act and the 16th Amendment were created; born of lies and subterfuge and from the enormous power this granted to a handful of private men ushered forth the following sequences of events:
• They lied about the Bolshevik Revolution – America created the Soviet Union from the ashes of the Tsars with their hand-picked and financed agents Trotsky and Lenin. (See Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution.)
• They lied about WWI – We were lied into WWI (See Antony C. Sutton; Carrol Quigley and the Lusitania)
• They lied about WWII – We were lied into WWII (See Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and The Anglo-American Establishment)
• They lied about the assassination of John F. Kennedy
• They lied about Vietnam – Gulf of Tonkin incident and resultant Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which took the lives of 58,000 American boys and millions of Vietnamese.
• They lied about 9/11 and presaged the buildup to 9/11 with PNAC: They caused or allowed the attacks of 9/11 and irrefutably covered up the facts
• They lied about Osama Ben Laden and Al-Qaeda: They gave Osama Ben Laden $3 billion to fight the Russians in Afghanistan and created the myth of Al-Qaeda
• They gave us The Patriot Act which has shredded our Constitution and Bill of Rights
• They gave us NAFTA which has decimated the middle class enriching those in control
• They gave us Open Borders which will damage what is left of the working folks and burden our troubled economy
• They are negotiating treaties like the TPP and others in secret that not even our Congress can see, yet nothing is done to prevent these treasonous acts.
• They have bailed out the banker’s crooked deals with the taxpayer’s money and good credit leaving the average American with the bills to pay
• They lied about the invasion of Iraq
• They lied about the invasion of Afghanistan
• They lied about the invasion of Libya
• They lied about the invasion of Syria
• They lied about the US Takeover and violent putsch of Ukraine

Today’s America is not the republic we were given back in 1787, but a fascistic tyranny in the service of a few evil men.

Okay so here’s the plan as I see it…  the Federal Government has militarized the local police, they have then inflamed racial tensions by choosing to accentuate questionable cases of police misconduct when there are plenty cut and dry examples they could have championed- this gives both sides a position to fight against each other: The reason they choose cases like this to trumpet through the media… is because each side can take a hard position. The next step will be to eliminate all of this police brutality by federalizing the police. Thus you have a federal takeover of law enforcement, leaving the US Citizens even more vulnerable than before to the unconstitutional whims of those criminal elements who have infiltrated the US Federal Government.

There’s more to Monsanto than meets the eye …

Frederic Mousseau, who is a Policy Director at The Oakland Institute:

“We saw in 2013 that Monsanto invested $140 million in new seed plans in Ukraine. It is clearly the bread basket of Europe and it is a key target for a company like Monsanto, which sees this huge potential for production and this huge market. Europe has been quite resistant in allowing GMOs, but if they are successful in Ukraine then there might be a domino effect in Europe.”

The $17 billion IMF loan to Ukraine is contingent on Ukraine allowing GMO crops: IMF loan stipulations require permitting GMO production.

Putin doesn’t like GMO BTW.

Who is Pierre Omidyar? Well, he is a billionaire… who is also Glenn Greenwald’s boss who helped the CIA fund the violent overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine last year (documents below) so that the US State Department could install their own puppet government. Remember Julian Assange of Wikileaks who is held up in the Ecuadorian embassy in the UK since 2012 because the US Government wants his hide? Well, Pierre Omidyar also suspended WikiLeaks’ donation account and froze its assets leaving WikiLeaks facing a funding crisis. Seems Pierre gets around. He and pal George Soros have both assisted the CIA and the State Department in the putsch in Ukraine. Small world. It’s interesting to note that Soros proudly admits to helping Hitler in his youth (yes, he is that old) and now he along with the US Government are helping the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

Note: Pierre, is the the billionaire owner of PayPal Corporation has entered into a $250 Million business partnership with two journalists-Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, a journalist duo who possess the entire cache of evidence provided by Edward Snowden.

Operation Paperclip and the CIA

Operation Paperclip

Operation Paperclip

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

Jade Helm 15

Jade Helm 15

I heard a news clip on the radio yesterday that went something like this: An Army official was giving a speech somewhere and was asked if Jade Helm would be a federal takeover of Texas. He simply said “No.” and the entire crowd broke into a smug, mocking laughter apparently aimed at all the ‘tin-foil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists‘ like Alex Jones. Only problem — Alex never said that. This MEME of the takeover is a creation of the establishment MSM. I read a lot of news, and I’ve never heard any serious person postulate that Jade Helm would be a federal takeover of Texas but rather a very large, unnecessary and expensive exercise to help integrate the military with the local law enforcement while getting the general public used to these sorts of exercises. There are very good reasons for keeping the military and our peace keepers separate as our founders knew, as well as those who wrote the Posse Comitatus Act in 1878. The military kill people and break things. Law enforcement are public servants and keepers of the peace. Very different roles wouldn’t you say? To mix the two is to cause problems we really don’t need. Moreover the military usually try to train where they will fight which means they try to emulate the environment in which they plan to kill and break things. So why the big push to train on the streets of America? We have spent billions on first rate training facilities for our military all over this nation (see below) and we have in excess of 900 military bases strewn across the globe, so why Texas and why now is a very good question that is lost in the self-righteous laughter of the lemmings whose default position is to trust everything the government says or does.

Where are the five major Army Training Centers?

Fort Jackson Website www.jackson.army.mil

The largest and most active IET Center in the U.S. Army. Located within the city of Columbia, S.C., Fort Jackson encompasses 52,000 acres and 53 ranges and field training sites to train and prepare Soldiers to take their place in the Army of a nation at war. Fort Jackson also supports a number of other training missions to include the United States Army Soldier Support Institute, Drill Sergeant School, the United States Army Chaplain Center and School, the Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment, and two AIT schools.

Fort Benning Website www.infantry.army.mil

More than 108,000 Soldiers train annually in one of the 61 courses conducted seven days a week, 50 weeks out of the year on Fort Benning. Every American who joins the Army as an elite Infantryman does initial training on Fort Benning. Last year alone more than 25,000 new Infantrymen trained here in skills and competencies required to succeed in combat. As they enter our gates as civilians, they graduate as some of the Nation’s most lethal, new warriors.

Fort Sill Website http://sill-www.army.mil

The United States Army Field Artillery Center and Fort Sill will train Soldiers, Marines, and develop Field Artillery leaders; design and develop fire support for the force; support unit training and readiness; mobilize and deploy operating forces; and maintain installation infrastructure and services.

Fort Knox Website www.knox.army.mil

The Armor Center and School is the largest organization on Fort Knox and performs the mission of training all armor Soldiers and Marines. The Army Recruiting Command headquarters conducts the mission of bringing men and women into the U.S. Army.

Fort Leonard Wood Website www.wood.army.mil

Home of the Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) which includes the U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear, Engineer, and Military Police schools, a gender-integrated Basic Training Brigade, and one of the five reception stations in the Army for newly accessed Soldiers.
