News From Antiwar.com : Western Libya Militias Form Alliance Against Government

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:12:56 +0000

So, in an orwellian manner, I ask myself: 2 Libyas better than one ? At least we'd have some consistency with the initial theoretical buildup for war. Could it be the western powers are unable to share the loot like gentlemen thieves ? Maybe the Chinese want revenge for their lost investments ? Or, dare I mention, the colonel's ghost could muster enough supporters to unsettle the supposedly cozy post murder arrangements ? My, my, what a surprise, there's no peace in Libya. If the people's there fate would matter a bit what a media hype we'd witness, but now, when the deal is done, let them sort their disputes by themselves (can you remember when this concept sounded so strange no longer than a year ago). As long they don't want their oil & gas back.

News From Antiwar.com : US Begins Review of Military Options in Syria

Wed, 8 Feb 2012 17:02:23 +0000

US became a sort of blind giant. The giant chose to have others take his hand and guide him through treacherous landscapes. Then, periodically, the giant finds himself surprised he stumbled, crippled or made a fool of himself. At some point, the giant is going to fall and truly hurt himself beyond repair. But the giant tribulations are not the others' problem, they only fear the giant might fall on their heads and simply crush them under his shear size and those who feel threatened surely won't be sympathetic with the giant's affliction, especially since many consider it is self inflicted .

Germany succesfully usurped somekind of Holly Roman empire authority and managed to portray itself as the legitimate leader of all western Europe. For a country still under limited sovereignity and one that fuels the globalist EU leviathan with its own blood it is quite a feat. Still, its economic empire functions at most like a condominium between German interests and supranational corporatism. At best (see the concessions they had to make on their own territory when East Germany was absorbed). In fact, in all major issues Germany's politicians eventually tip the balance towards globalist interests. Nevertheless, the way it somehow compensates the losses on behalf of poor eastern colonies looks even more despicable. No wonder the lesser Croatian cronies mimic the German behaviour.

News From Antiwar.com : Obama to Send US Troops to South Sudan

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:14:40 +0000

This South Sudan must be setting a new record, a failed state before even becoming one. Still, those oil fields must be protected from the natives lack of understanding. They don't need them anyway, caught with their cattle stealing raiding parties bickering. Can't really notice the difference between (old) Sudan's supremacy in the not so distant past and US' no doubt benevolent care, but I admit I'm not enlightened enough. Nevertheless, Obamacrats warned beforehand about their interests in Sudan and once again prove to be men of their word.

We're neither one political entity, no matter what globalists think or try. So, global revolution or not, the impossible to circumvent nation states are here and their vehicle for violence is called war. From what point the war becomes world war could be debated, but it certainly seems like we're on that road.

News From Antiwar.com : Iowa Voters Bring Antiwar Message Into the Mainstream

Wed, 4 Jan 2012 16:42:35 +0000

Here's my two cents as an outside observer on Iowa results. The official candidate has to be Romney, I don't think reps have the luxury or time to push-test others from a lot which, Ron Paul excluded, probably hits the lowest political standards. Santorum was puffed up with votes stolen from Paul and others just for make believe. It is very important for the Rep establishment to keep Ron Paul "in the crowd" not as the principal contender to their chosen puppet. And it is very important for the establishment as a whole to paint an image where Ron Paul represents strictly a minority view. The establishment knows Paul will run as an independent eventually and they have to convince themselves and, they think, others that RP can't be a threat. They all might be very wrong since Paul's force will be ultimately tested when former Obama voters will have to choose. Between independent Paul or Republican Paul which variant could be more appealing to them? Let the Republican establishment make a fool of itself, Paul's message is addressed to Americans and the more the dinosaurs and media accomplices show their true colors the better. The reps fabrictions should alienate Rep constituencies and the media bias should alienate fair minded Dems. While those standing undecided might interpret all the foaming at the mouth as sign of systemic failure and gather the courage to deepen the breach.

US and/or Israel want the Muslim Brotherhood rule Egypt or not? No one seems to be able to answer convincingly this question which is crucial imo. The other question: do US and/or Israel know what they're doing seems pointless considering their last years track record.

News From Antiwar.com : Advisers Urge Arab League to Withdraw Monitors From Syria

Mon, 2 Jan 2012 16:01:56 +0000

It would be very easy to dismiss the logic behind this article as one addressed to the brain dead. No, the bizarro world new species understands this logic. For this kind, if areas where observers are present prove peaceful then it makes sense to withdraw them because observers prevent protesters to "express" themselves fully. There's no other explanation. If clashes occur in places where observers are absent implying the government forces act unrestrained then it would make sense, in the old logic, to extend the presence of observers in those areas too. Wrong! Bizarro logic abhors this kind of unpassionate aproach. Bizarro logic is exuberant, romantic and advocates violence as long it's "revolutionary". I apologize if my translation needs some polishing, I'm still a novice in bizarro logic but I try my best. On the other hand, when my apprenticeship is over I won't be able to understand the "old" logic anymore. Such an imperfect, hesitant old world, no wonder bizarro marches on. Only the red banners are missing.

Antiwar.com Original Articles : A Tale of Two Cities: Weimar and Washington

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:57:56 +0000

The parallelism between post WW1 Germany and present day US should include considerations on the general public's dominant perception upon themselves as a nation. Germany was a republic in name but all its modern history up to that point was one of imperial behaviour. Until the end of WW1 it... worked. Germany grew, expanded, conquered, developped tremendously, became a focal point in terms of education, industrial knowhow, scientific prowess, military might. And it wasn't exactly military defeated in WW1 yet ended in a humiliating position which many Germans thought was a political betrayal. A few years of, on paper, liberal society, mostly plagued by poverty, hyperinflation and even outright communist revolution attempts or other kind of coups, didn't help to prove the superiority of this kind of society. Similar to US today, the political forces were strongly ideologized ones interested in promoting their kind of society where individual freedom wasn't exactly the #1 goal. Today's US has a de facto past of imperial behaviour which succeeded to penetrate down to the individual's perception about his nation. The American exceptionalism has become an imperial one in the mind of many individuals. But a few important conditions that were present in post WW1 Germany didn't happen yet in US or (9/11 case as a trigger for suppressing liberties) happened in a different order. Military (even strategic - meaning by other means than classical warfare) defeat (confirmed through harsh setbacks, either put in a treaty or implicit) is improbable and financial collapse, while highly probable, didn't happen yet. This is in no way reason for optimism, US dictatorship might prove more stable and long lasting than nazi's and it is also fully prepared to wage worldwide war. But it all depends on how far and deep extends the imperial feeling among the people. 30 seconds attention span individuals aren't a solid foundation for any kind of regime, but hard core activism and imperial exceptionalism could prove a formidable blend. It won't matter in the long run since no dictatorship won't be able to deliver anything but suffering, especially when the elite survival depends on "grand gestures" like war or implementing pharaonic projects which would require strict discipline from masses used to a certain degree of confort. The current official rhetoric can't supplement the possible lack of sufficiently large numbers willing to follow a cause, while fear mode as source for generating an overt dictatorship is different than the revenge mode which, imo, finally prevailed in post WW1 Germany. I'm merely suggesting deliberate provocations, propaganda and spining objective circumstances could prove just a desperate gamble if the general "psyche" responds in a more diverse (or chaotic) manner than post WW1 Germany's.

The "constitutional" treaty on which EU functions has been from the start a legal aberration. It is impossible for the member states to preserve their sovereignity, it is impossible for most if not all member states to "accomodate" their national constitutions to the EU "constitution". There's no legal tool aside disolving each nation state. But you can't sell this to the populations. You can't have subservient governments come forward and ask: surrender your rights as citizens of X or Y country and accept you will become subjects of a multinational empire where none of the former nations will have any saying. So they distill, with each crisis, with every pretext, under constant propaganda shelling, more "special laws" or "ammendments" instructions into national constitutions and laws until their legal system will crack, their governments will become helpless outside EU directives, their financial systems will survive only if the EU elite wishes so. Sovereignity can't be shared. You can delegate some of the attributes but only under strict conditions AND for a limited and specified duration (like when allowing foreign command as part of an allied army). Any treaty between sovereign nations has explicit clauses how to end the agreement. The EU not only doesn't allow it explicitely but enforces various "integrating" measures so the costs for withdrawing from the union increase with time. EU slowly turns national parliaments into irrelevance, subverting the most important political institution in any national state. EU becoming an empire learned the American lesson and establishes itself from the start as an authoritarian, executive branch driven rule. Its multinational "parliament", with no possible clout outside artificially patched ideological wings, represents only the reflexive uniforming tool needed by the cloudy special interests (read mainly banksters and big corporations) to strip the population of any political power along with the loss of identity. Soviet Union at its ideal best. Now they're going for the essential weapon in any government arsenal: taxation. If, or rather when, EU controls this, there will be little left for national governments to do. 27 governments melted into one huge, obviously incorruptible, extremely cohesive, efficient and democratic rule. Right. Will it be Germany's empire? Doubtful. My guess: it's going to be no former nation's empire, just the usual collective prison. But, in a way, national "ownership" is irrelevant. It is already a monstruosity shaping itself into the lowest denominator, dumbing down, hypocritical, aggressive banksterarchy. German whip or "diversity" welded manacles... big difference indeed !

I don't recall Wallonia wanting to get out of the miniEU (Belgium). Flanders wants out. You can equate that with Ireland trying to block the loss of sovereignity but, in fact, Flanders finds itself more in the position all EU member states are now - inside the belly of the beast with no way out. As for the implied comparison between the "unproductive" piigs, Ireland, for instance, simply was raped by foreign banks and corporations, sucked dry and dumped. Not all the piigs are the same and not all the "northern" EU is so efficient and hardworking. There are layers of economic colonialism inside EU. As a rule of thumb, if you don't have your own, national industry, banks and so forth and you rely on foreign corporations (even more if you lost your currency) then you're done. Of course, it's better to whine as the "northerner" against the "lazy" than to bite your hands as a "southerner" stripped of any chance to ever get out of misery. You don't really believe the big dogs will ever let go the "ballast" of millions of slaves and "markets" they fully control, do you? They need them.

Someone should switch off the autopilot for MSM. US/UK mouthpieces should shut up and tiptoe unless they believe communists and Jirinovski are more flexible than Putin's party. Last elections were devastating for the western pets in Russia. The trend is so obviously antiwestern there the politicos & propagandists should think twice before blabbering their out of time and out of place "concerns".

True. But only because it's more dramatic than ecomomic occupation and its slow genocide and population displacement. On the other hand, the imperial intervention in the Blakans is a common EU big dogs & US effort that even a German or whatever, intending to write on merely US interventionism there would end up mostly trying to avoid mentioning the disgusting EU diktat in other places, like Greece for instance.
