FROM IRAQ TO ARMAGEDDON

It never ceases to amaze me that any time I decide to demonstrate that the political arm of the country does not care about you; I always have some troll send me a letter stating that I should stick with talking about Bigfoot and aliens and not concern myself with affairs in the real world.
I wish I could have a word with people who feel that when uncomfortable matters come up and when I attempt to expose them they feel it within themselves to see the more mysterious topics as demeaning and beneath everything else when much of what goes on in the world paranormal or para-political demands our attention and demands our interest if not our voice.
I find it sick and deploring to see that there are a few people out there that are champions of their respective political parties and are blind to the idea there are no real parties anymore and that the good guys that exist anywhere in any party are minimal. It is also obvious that there is a lack of intelligence that still exists in America and that the lack of intelligence stops when someone points out criminal behavior and immediately it turns into a political besting match of who did what and how it was done.
You can tell the awkward truth that both political parties can be annexed under one group and we can call them the enablers. Both the left and right have unwittingly enabled the encroachment of the New World Order and it will soon be evident that the day of reckoning is at hand.
Yesterday, I was reminded of the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war in a very sad way. I was sent an e-mail from a listener who said that there were other talk shows that he would frequently listen to and that he sent to all of them a letter sent by a dying Iraq war veteran named Tomas Young to George W. Bush and all of his Neocon buddies about what he felt were serious lies and war crimes concerning the war with Iraq. Here is an piece of the letter:
“I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power.
I write this letter because, before my own death, I want to make it clear that I, and hundreds of thousands of my fellow veterans, along with millions of my fellow citizens, along with hundreds of millions more in Iraq and the Middle East, know fully who you are and what you have done.
You may evade justice but in our eyes you are each guilty of egregious war crimes, of plunder and, finally, of murder, including the murder of thousands of young Americans—my fellow veterans — whose future you stole.”
The listener said to me that no one would give the letter a moment because of the fact that he felt that talk shows are mostly conservative. He had indicated that since this program did not adhere to any political affiliation that I would mention the letter on the air.
I took the time to read the letter of the dying war veteran and began tearing up. It was unfortunate that what I was reading would not be examined in a fair way on any media program and even if it was it would be turned into a political football to somehow demonstrate that President Obama is better than the last, without examining that most of what was started ten years ago has not left us.

Young attacks the “cowardice” of Bush and Cheney for avoiding military service themselves, and to encourage them to “stand before the American public and the world, and in particular the Iraqi people, and beg for forgiveness.”
I am sure there are still a few Americans that will say “forgiveness for what?” and the comments seen on the internet about the letter seemed to be disingenuous with the hollow thanks for his service and then saying “he is a veteran and is entitled to his opinion.” There were others that stated that he should have never enlisted and that he was a coward and deserves the painful death that he was experiencing.
There were other comments that were carefully worded and I got the feeling that many people are soon to feel the guilt of supporting and now enabling the same rhetoric for a war with Iran.
I think the words of Gandhi apply when looking back at the Iraq war. Gandhi once said that, “Every citizen is responsible for every act of his government.”
Showtime has been pushing the Dick Cheney documentary where they attempt to get candid answers from the former vice president. When asked if he has any flaws, he can’t concede to any, when asked if the Afghan and Iraq wars and the bloodshed were worth it, he retorts with a loud yes and that if had it to do again he would.
What is interesting is that all of the players that we hear about on the news now, all of the purveyors of death and murder based on a lie of Saddam Hussein’s so-called weapons of Mass Destruction. While the dying veteran Tomas Young points to Cheney and Bush as war criminals, I suppose it would be fair to also point at the Senate that was controlled by democrats and who still have jobs and are now carrying out the duty of undermining and destroying constitutional rights.
Ten years ago people like Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry wanted to see the blood fly. They wanted to keep the flag draped coffins continually shipped home, families destroyed and the terror to continue. All of these “respected” politicians are now shifting their attention to grabbing your guns. Are we learning anything yet?
People always ask me my political leanings and I think about what these powerful politicians do and how we enable them to waste life, the environment and our time by begging us to just push the button and create an impressive smoke signal with a mushroom cloud.
Their legacy includes hundreds of thousands dead. There are an estimated 600,000 Iraqi orphans that will grow up to hate Americans. This, of course, is a guarantee that we await more conflict later as children grow into adults that resent that their families were erased from existence. Four million Iraqis are without homes. Four thousand Americans died in Iraq and tens of thousands were wounded or disabled.
According to the Christian Science Monitor, more than 70 percent of those who died of direct war violence in Iraq have been civilians – an estimated 134,000. This number does not account for indirect deaths due to increased vulnerability to disease or injury as a result of war-degraded conditions. That number is estimated to be several times higher. The Iraq war will ultimately cost US taxpayers at least $2.2 trillion.
Because the Iraq war appropriations were funded by borrowing, cumulative interest through 2053 could amount to more than $3.9 trillion. The $2.2 trillion figure includes care for veterans who were injured in the war in Iraq, which will cost the US almost $500 billion through 2053. The total of US service members killed in Iraq is 4,488. At least 3,400 US contractors have died as well, a number often under-reported.
Terrorism in Iraq increased dramatically as a result of the invasion and tactics and fighters were exported to Syria and other neighboring countries. Iraq’s health-care infrastructure remains devastated from sanctions and war. More than half of Iraq’s medical doctors left the country during the 2000s, and tens of thousands of Iraqi patients have been forced to seek health care outside the country.
The $60 billion spent on reconstruction for Iraq has not gone to rebuilding infrastructure such as roads, health care, and water treatment systems, but primarily to the military and police. The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction has found massive fraud, waste and abuse of reconstruction funds.
Once again I remind you of what Dick Cheney says in the Showtime documentary “The World according To Dick Cheney”:
“If I had to do it over again, I’d do it in a minute.”
As you can see, Dick Cheney has no problem sending kids to their deaths, lying, writing manifestos that prove intent or foreknowledge of a Pearl Harbor-like event that galvanizes people into making a blood pact with criminals that they have been told to trust. Cheney has no problem ignoring the millions of people who protested the war and were gassed, beaten and shot for their rebellion. The government has no problem making up some story about Saddam Hussein’s ties to Al-Qaida.
He hopes that we all ignore that fact that Gen. David Petraeus, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other U.S. officials oversaw a network of torture, death squads and secret prisons.
Iraq is virtually a dead country. Seventy percent of the populations do not have clean drinking water. Baghdad is rated the world’s least livable city by the Mercer Quality of Living survey. According to the Global Peace Index, Iraq is the second most dangerous country in the world.
I can’t think that there would be any American out there that doesn’t see this as a criminal act against humanity and the sanctity of human life. Yet I am sure that many still believe that what has happened over there was deserved or warranted.
Those responsible for planning and executing the war in Iraq have never been prosecuted, and most continue to enjoy positions of power and privilege. One of those privileges that they have is stocking up on ammunition, weapons, and plotting to remove the weapons of American citizens.


I ask the question: if someone like Cheney is willing to this all over again, how many others are waiting in line to give it a try here in America, not to mention what we think is about to happen in Iran? The Times of Israel has reported the Obama administration is “gearing up” for a strike on Iran, with the “window of opportunity” for bloodshed opening this June. Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program will provide the pretext, despite the consensus among U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran has no such program.
Once again the old “weapons of mass destruction” angle always works its magic and casts that spell of paranoia and first strike mentality. How many more death pits can we create and not maintain because our anger is swift and unquenched.
During a planning meeting that was organized by an independent group of TV and film producers, I was asked about how I am different than most conspiracy and paranormal researchers. I basically said that while many people in the past have been playing a cloak and dagger game with the conspiracy theories and have constantly said that “the truth is out there”, I am the type of guy that believe that all conspiracies are obvious and are not as clandestine as they were during the Cold War.
I said that I tend to have the opinion of author H.G. Wells, that there is an open and obvious conspiracy against the people of the world and it is a conspiracy to create a totalitarian world government through a series of crises and wars that are created by people in power. The people are told that the actions are sound and for the benefit of the people, and there is no need to fret over the deaths of innocents or even the tragedy of the cost because the powerful who never see combat will in the end believe that statues will be erected to them in the public square and that they will tell everyone that the war effort was well worth it.
Wells who was a visionary for his time could see the future. He saw what seemed to be the time that happened just after the attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the wars that were declared afterward.
Wells saw a time where there would be an illusion of democracy, of political choice, given to the unwashed masses; the people in power and in influential positions would see the benefit of a one world order, and therefore, in an act of ‘Open Conspiracy‘, would not hide their desire for the unification of communists, socialists, liberals, and other progressives. The purpose of the unification would be to swallow up smaller groups and assimilate them into the New order.
Although Wells never mentioned it, I could easily see the ‘Open Conspiracy‘ taking hold where even the most self- styled conservatives and progressive liberals realize that the New World Order is far more attractive than the old way of having differences that make us all unique.
Wells’ vision seems to be that the New World Order would be achieved through many years of education, and, eventually, unity of purpose towards a single goal. The eventual elimination of any threat to this New World Order might become such a goal. Those who would seek to prevent it, or even question it, would be labeled traitors, subversives, and even terrorists.
As each enemy was eliminated, those who joined in that crusade would feel vindicated, and would eagerly await the assimilation of the next aggressor into the ‘Open Conspiracy‘. Wells wrote:
“The Open Conspiracy will appear first, I believe, as a conscious organization of intelligent and quite possibly in some cases, wealthy men, as a movement having distinct social and political aims.
Confessedly ignoring most of the existing apparatus of political control, or using it only as an incidental implement in the stages, a mere movement of a number of people in a certain direction who will presently discover with a sort of surprise the common object toward which they are all moving.
In all sorts of ways they will be influencing and controlling the apparatus of the ostensible government.”
We must now be aware of the ‘Open Conspiracy‘ and how it is against the democratic world we know today.
It is obvious that the conspiracy exists as we see the rapid development of multiplying international organizations and governments managed by psychopaths harboring messianic delusions of omniscience.
Wells states in his writings that the ‘Open Conspiracy‘ fights their wars and defends the side of the “world order” against “less stable and less advanced” regions whilst all the time preaching anti-militarism and pacifism.

In other words, Barack Obama may be in Israel to win the peace there, but he is also plotting another in series of wars that will place us once again in the same position as an aggressor that kills on behalf of the New World Order.
