Letter to a Patriot: New World Order


I found this - a real turning point:

China's NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER YOU FEAR - THE NEW WORLD ORDER OF NSA SPYING, DETENTION CAMPS, BLACK HELICOPTERS AND BIG BROTHER.  That one is already here, organized and ready.  It's centered in Washington, New York, London and Zurich and has its tentacles all over the world.  It's in the process of shedding its disguises.  

The '"New World Order" China's calling for is a currency and economy that's beyond the control of the giant US, British and Swiss banks.  Calling on the rest of the world to escape of the rule of the Rockefellers and Mellons, Rothschilds and Morgans.  

It's really a call for an "Anti-New World Order"'  

China's calling for this now because a collapse of the dollar is inevitable - and close. Actually, it's already happening. 

It's been coming on for a long time, driven by the logic of greed that's built into the very heart and guts of our system. 

And it leaves us behind in "the belly of the beast", to survive, to break free from its power, to save ourselves, and perhaps to save the world from its death throes.

My prediction:  The False Patriots will try to conflate China's call for a New World Order with Big Brother, and will try to lead us back into line, unite against the foreign "threat" of China, Russia, Iran and Brazil - and against the internal "threats" of undocumented immigrants and unions.  

Maybe they'll have their pet terrorists fly some airplanes into skyscrapers to scare us back into line, or worse.

The True Patriots will be the ones who remember where our real enemy lies.  Here.  In America.  Not in the cities, the immigrant ghettos, the union halls and community groups, but at the top, in the Boardrooms of the Great Banks and Corporations.  

They understand in their guts that the true face of our enemy is not Republican or Democrat, black or immigrant, but Plutocrat - the rule of the rich and powerful. The billionaires that have no loyalty to any nation or people, who have far more in common with Saudi princes and Swiss bankers than with us. Who "play with us ... like we're their little toys." 

The True Patriots will be the ones who are organizing the people for survival and defense - all the regular people.  Know them by their instinct for unity and solidarity.  

The greatest fear of the False Patriots is that we won't believe their lies anymore. Know them by who they call traitors.  

A good touchstone: where do they stand on Edward Snowden?  If they call him a traitor, or even suggest he might be, get away from them!

The greatest weapon of the False Patriots is to get us fighting and hating each other.  Know them by who they call enemies.

A good touchstone: they may come from an anti-immigrant, anti-union tradition, but are they offering to lead us in battle against the immigrants and unions now? 

We see a lot of organized groups, good people pledging to stand together.  But the sad fact is that most of our people are not organized, and many of our groups are fighting each other.  

This is no time for spectators, no time for fighting over who will get which piece of the carcass.

Our real power lies in the unity and solidarity of all the regular people.  

We have a lot of work to do, a lot of learning and a lot of teaching.

Is our foreign policy problem due to Obama's weakness?

Comment on
Crisis makes US reliability questioned overseas
By Steven R. Hurst ASSOCIATED PRESS

What? No mention in this article about Snowden and the NSA leaks, which are still coming in? Or the world's reaction when US allies blocked the Ecuadorian presidential airplane from landing to refuel (which it turns out nearly killed him), and the growing consensus in the world that this kind of kow-towing to the American bullies has to stop? 

Or the refusal of the President of Brazil to meet with Obama over NSA espionage? 

Or the fact that it was the British Parliament and the US Congress that stopped Obama's war on Syria, driven by popular demand? 

Or the fact that the dollar is a corpse on steroids and the BLS statistics have been exposed as lies covering up a collapsing economy? 

Or the fact that the Fed can't stop buying US bonds without setting off a panic? Or that they had to publicly admit in January or February that they couldn't deliver to Germany the gold they were supposedly holding for it - presumably because they don't really have it? 

Or that countries are already abandoning the dollar and starting to trade their own currencies for oil? That it isn't just our supposed enemies that are dumping the dollar as fast as they can? 

The article's message seems to be that the problem is US lack of will and resolve, that if only Obama would be stronger and more ruthless the US could regain its world leadership. In one way the reality is much more grim. The US economic and banking system and their attempt to rule the world has reached a natural limit and is collapsing from within. All these external events are a reflection of the countries of the world starting to react to that collapse. 

The bright side is that we have been given a precious moment when the people of our land could step in and take it back and reclaim our democracy, if we can stop fighting each other over phony manufactured issues and ideologies and start talking to each other more plainly about the real problems and needs that we are actually experiencing and dealing with. 


I've been wondering for going on six years now if the point of the world bankers (led by Goldman Sachs, his biggest early sponsor) in putting Obama in the Presidency was to put a "Democratic" label on the systemic collapse they knew was coming - a compliant "patsy" to take the blame when the music stops.  In Obama they have a polished pseudo-liberal with a deep family history of loyalty to the Security State, who talks like a socialist, confuses and divides the people of color who usually form the base of resistance movements, and who makes a good foil and hate object for the right-wing populist movement they are promoting.

Now that the collapse is starting to unfold, we may be seeing a lot more on this theme that Obama's weakness is the cause of it.

They have long memories, family memories, these rulers of ours.  They've never forgotten how the whole nation blamed and hated their man Herbert Hoover for the collapse of 1929 and the Great Depression, when the truth is that he neither caused nor could have stopped it.  If he had major blind spots they were those of everyone in his circles, including early on Franklin Roosevelt.  

Like them I have come to see the President as a leader with limited power.  I've seen the power-brokers trigger a collapse to get rid of a troublesome President (Carter.)  I don't believe they could cause or cure this "general crisis of capitalism" that we're facing.  But I've watched them do all they can - since my days as an economics student in the early '60's - to avert or postpone the next depression, and now to deny that it's happening.  

And now they've laid their plans and preparations for the unthinkable but inevitable as best they can, I find myself wondering if they've also picked the time for the meltdown and are deliberately trying to trigger it.

Snowden: What are they so scared of?

Something has Obama and the cabal that he's fronting for powerfully spooked by Edward Snowden's actions.
The campaign to capture and make an example of Snowden has led to an unprecedented demonstration of the sheer raw power of the US over nearly every country on Earth, even including China and Russia.  This campaign has not been cost-free. For example, the leaders of France, Spain, Italy and Portugal have been exposed as Washington's flunkeys in the eyes of their own people.  Thus the US response must have been strongly motivated.
Now they're moving to sanctions against any country that doesn't cooperate in capturing and rendering Snowden.
This is way out of proportion to Snowden's revelations about the NSA so far, much of which was already known or suspected. This US reaction looks like a fear reaction, even a survival response of a cornered beast.
So what are they so afraid of? Something more Snowden hasn't shared? Or something someone else must be deterred from sharing? If so, it must be some secret so catastrophic it could torpedo their empire. But what could that be?
Maybe it's just about Snowden revealing more names, more details about how, that will cause uproars in more countries like what happened in Brazil and Germany.  But maybe it's something more.  

Is it fear of someone leaking proof of the big lies they've been telling, about bin Laden and the War on Terror?  Details of their plans for taking full power over the world, or for a managed collapse of the world economy? Details of their plans for starting and winning World War III?  Or of horrible new weapons systems they've been developing in secret, to use against ... who?

All possibilities.  But here's another possibility:
Suppose some CIA agent - or some employee of a private contractor with access to CIA files - were thinking about blowing the whistle on the political leaders, politicians, military officers, journalists, religious and labor leaders around the globe who are on the CIA payroll?  The ones many people had always suspected but no one could prove it?  
Like maybe the ones who jumped to cooperate in turning back, grounding and searching the Bolivian Presidential Airplane, an utterly unprecedented act of international lawlessness? 

Obama and crew would no doubt consider that a threat to the Empire of the first order, a threat to their survival. That could detonate a popular rebellion in many of those countries, maybe a global popular rebellion.

That would b a threat to be deterred at any cost.
