US Successfully Implements Syria Plan B

NATO and the US Will Again Snub Turkey  -If They Are Smart

 After Israel attacked the Mavi Marmara and in an act of piracy conducted execution style killings of humanitarian aid workers, Israel added further insult to injury by refusing to offer any compensation or so much as an apology that Turkey had demanded. 

Erdogan then protested to NATO, of which Turkey is a party and Israel is not, and asked for military assistance.  NATO told him, “Yok.” 

Turkey is much more concerned about its own interests than it is about the interests of NATO, the U.S. or Israel.  This is as it should be.  So, after a Turkish fighter violated Syria’s airspace and was shot down, Erdogan was swift to try to pull NATO and the U.S. into a military confrontation with Syria.  If a major war broke out, rest assured it would be the U.S. that would be doing most of the fighting and Turkey would be a spectator as strains were put on the alliance by European states who view the reaction by Syria as measured and proportionate considering that NATO is extremely hostile to the Assad regime and wishes for U.N. approval for an international coalition in support of Syrian rebels and imported radical Sunni jihadists of the al Qaeda variety supported by oppressive Arab League governments who also seek to pit the U.S. against Iran, Syria and Russia.

The U.S. should back off and tell Erdogan we will give him a F-16 fighter for the F-4 he lost.  That is what a smart alliance member would do at this juncture, but who ever accused U.S. foreign policy makers of being smart. 

McCain is only an incident away from running around screaming, “We are all jihadists now!”  Graham and Lieberman are wishing WWIII begins and Santorum is waiting for Christians to start disappearing all over the globe.  Meanwhile, the U.S. claims Ahmadinejad is crazy while he has absolutely no power to commit Iran to war, nor has Iran invaded anyone in the last 100 years.

The world is on the brink of economic collapse, yet it seems the U.S. wants to fund another war that will ensure there will be a mad rush to start nuclear programs without any IAEA oversight or NPT protocols which will lead to nuclear bombs across the Middle East as the world now sees what value any agreement made with the West is worth.  Gadaffi made a pact to not build a nuclear program.  Saddam gave up his WMDs.  Both are now desert dust.  Iran has abided by the NPT and allowed monitoring of its nuclear program while the Zionist media spews forth misinformation and propaganda.

As everyone demanded intervention when a mass execution was thought to be the doing of Aliwite militias, the sound suddenly was muted once it was determined the slaughter of civilians was the work of Sunni jihadists supported by Saudi Arabia.  At the same time Israel is demanding U.N. authorization of force because U.N. observers were fired upon.  Does anyone think the Sunni insurgents not crafty enough to fire on the U.N. to drag everyone into supporting their cause?  Yet, how is it everyone suddenly forgets it was Israel who slaughtered U.N. peacekeepers who were observing Israel slaughter civilians during Operation Cast Lead.

The fact is that every actor in the Middle East, ally or not, would love to see the U.S. suffer debilitating losses supporting their cause.  Iran got a hoot out of the U.S. paying to get rid of their arch-nemesis Saddam.  It laughed ever harder as the U.S. installed Iranian-backed politicians that had been living in Iran waiting to be installed in as Iraq’s new pro-Iranian rulers.  Imagine the additional laugh it had as the Shiite government not only kicked the U.S. out of Iraq, but then also left intact all the oil contracts Saddam had made with European oil companies to the exclusion of the U.S.

Wikileaks has shown U.S. foreign policy is schizophrenic and counter-productive.  It has shown the elite use war as a means of transferring middle-class wealth to the elite.  It has shown the U.S. to be a lawless land where torture and murder is the purview of one supreme unitary executive and the other branches of government nothing more than a jobs program for partisan politicians without any allegiance to their prospective branch of government or the U.S. Constitution itself.

So, we can allow ourselves to sleepwalk into a global conflict where trillions of dollars of wealth will be destroyed and we will be left at the mercy of Saudi Arabia and China, or we can do what is in the best interest of the American people.  Ruling the world and maintaining an empire is not in the interests of the American people, but those who advocate doing so make trillions of dollars at the expense of the people.  American had the chance to stop this nonsense with a Ron Paul presidency, but they sleepwalked past it and right into WWIII. 

Anyone who now fights for the U.S. is fighting for banksterism, globalism, militarism, corporatism, not for freedom.  To believe one fighting for freedom in current U.S. wars is moronic.  More and more veterans are beginning to understand that they have become pawns in the battle for global domination and not in defense of liberty.

We are approaching the end game.  Empire has proven to be a losing proposition for the people.  The structure needed for a stable society has been hollowed out.  Many Western nations such as the PIIGS nations have been living far beyond their means and the dollar is rapidly losing ground as the world’s reserve currency as more and more nations agree to direct currency purchases.  Economic cooperation amongst Latin American countries have excluded Washington as more and more countries pick up Chinese investment to build infrastructure that was once financed by the World Bank. 

China has begun investing in Africa where the IMF now has to loot Libya in order to capitalize itself as the dollar and euro slide and more and more countries seek SDRs to avoid getting anymore funny money hot off the presses courtesy of Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve.  There are forces and consequences unforeseen.  Rumsfeld’s “Unknown Unknowns” have not reared their ugly head and unintended consequence now steer U.S. foreign policy as it becomes harder and harder to distinguish friend from foe.

Maybe this is finally the time we need to stop listening to Zionist-pandering politicians, Armageddonists, Rapturers and Israeli-firsters and start listening to American statesmen who were right about the consequences of war with Iraq and Afghanistan and gave warnings about the dangers of central banking, the military-industrial complex, imperial wars of choice and entangling alliances.  Then, maybe we can take foreign policy from the realm of voodoo and place it on empirical moorings.  Every form of faith-based foreign policy will have its adherents who believe God is on their side.  Evangelical lunatics will tell you that our current woes are merely because we have not sufficiently supported Israeli’s ethnic cleansing, mass murder, torture and war crimes.  Yet, Israel has no problem slaughtering Americans to send a message or achieve an objective.  Don’t believe me?  Then ask the survivors of the USS Liberty or the family members of Americans the Israelis have bulldozed, shot in the face with a tear gas canister, or slaughtered in execution-style killings.

I am glad to be alive at this juncture so that I can sit back and say, “See, I told you so.”  The real fun comes when you get to listen to people twist logic, facts and reason so as to maintain their goofy dogmas and ideologies.  In the end they will say, “Well that is just the way the world works.”  They will then use the argument of fate and pre-determination to hide their stupidity and failings after having dragged society into disaster.
