Yesterday, I saw the most obvious example of what many claim are chemtrails in the skies over my city. The spraying went on for quite a long time, and when they were done (or at least I couldn't spot them anymore), the rare sunny day had turned into a hazed over cloudy day. Today, it is/was raining like crazy.

Info on Chemtrails

The Asia Times is reporting that Afghans are claiming either British or American Helicopters are being used to fly Taliban from the North to the South of the country.

Why not? The CIA organized Al Quaeda ( or the database of fighters, which is what that means) in the first place. Aaron Russo, the movie producer who became friends with Nick Rockefeller, once said that Rockefeller told him the "War on Terror" was meant to not be something you could win - for reasons of a long term plan to control gas and oil pipelines in the region. (If you look at what's going on with Russia and China, and now even India seems willing to join in somehow despite the problems they have with China - I would say our ruling elite is the biggest failure in all of world history. Or is that the plan?)

Like many others, I’ve done a great deal of thinking about the criminal war being waged by Israel against the people of Gaza. At some point during this crisis, I started to notice how Russia was using the Gazprom (natural gas enterprise) to wield influence over Europe.

Although surface appearances may indicate that Israel is acting in the usual role of US ally, while Iran is at least tacitly allied with Russia – this isn’t exactly the case. In fact, Israel (in coordination with Russia or not) is serving the interests of Russia by weakening the role the US can (and as we saw from the abstention at the UN Security Council did) play in the affairs of the Middle East. Iran, on the other hand, would very much like to be an ally of the US, especially if it is allowed to cast itself in a balancing role against Israeli aggression, and for Palestinian rights. This has become less clear as the conflict continues, and the Memorandum of Understanding between Israel and the US confuses things to say the least. Israel has had business deals, and even military technology deals, with Russia. If this goes the other direction, Russia can compare Georgia and Israel as clients of the US. Of course, the conflict will continue even despite the ceasefire. It could expand to include Lebanon and Iran. If Israel wishes, it could use nuclear weapons. However, and even though Pakistan is Sunni and Iran is Shiite, Pakistan could threaten to use nuclear weapons against Israel. India and Pakistan have also been at a heightened state of alert because of tensions between these two nations after the Mumbai attack.

One early plan, as expressed by John Bolton, was to give Gaza to Egypt – probably with the intention of keeping both within the American orbit. Natural gas reserves have been found off the coast of Gaza. Who must control those?

The bombing and invasion of Gaza and the shut off of gas to Europe by Gazprom were not unrelated events. In fact, early reports from Russian news sites seeming to imply that Israel would have a place to go other than the US and Europe to be part of the “International Community” lead me to believe (along with this: http://en.rian.ru/analysis/20081231/119298038.html ) that Israel and Russia, in some way, coordinated the two events. The whole thing created a lot of cognitive dissonance. European countries wanted to be tough on Russia, but couldn’t because Russia supplies them with too much of their energy needs. They also wanted to be tough on Israel, which they could do, but as usual it was ineffective. Of course, now the EU would like to join in with the idea of getting rid of Hamas before any reconstruction can begin. This is an incredibly stupid idea.

The US, which the Europeans naturally follow, found itself with little sway all around. Russia was able to hold gas supplies to Europe hostage, while at the same time making a case that it (along with the European Union?) could help reign in Israel and establish peace in the region. Some have claimed that the US is using Ukraine to hold up gas shipments. Could be true, but I believe what I have stated above.

Iran and Venezuela have economic ties that have spread to other countries of South (and Central) America. Hugo Chavez claims he wants to be president after 2012, but maybe he doesn’t have a true desire to remain in office. Maybe, he’d rather write articles and support the opposition in return for American support in South America for a different model of development that benefits the people of Latin America. On the other hand, he has recently come to blows with Obama, and even stated that Obama must watch his step before angering the “empire.” Raul Castro would like the embargo lifted. A recent report in Pravda claimed that Chavez said Fidel would not speak in public again. This may be a way of allowing an opening for the US to deal with Cuba. Also, we are now being told Mexico is a weak state that needs our attention on the border. There is more to our policy on Somalia and Sri Lanka than is being shown to the public. Who supports the Tamil tigers? Who doesn’t? What is India’s role in a future world? Where did the Somali pirates come from and why? These are questions I will leave open.

In the end, you have what Chavez and Putin would call a “multi-polar” world, with trade and military connections leading in various directions through traditional allies and traditional enemies alike. Europe needs Russia for energy. China needs the US for trade. Everyone needs the US to diversify on energy consumption, using electric powered cars, solar power, and wind, besides oil and natural gas. There are also the “conspiracy theories” about elite concerns about population control. This could be more credible than many believe. The world seems to tolerate depleted uranium, mercury in fish and flu shots, Agent Orange in Vietnam and (I believe) Korea, areas with more concentrated pollution and areas with less, White Phosphorus, and on and on. If it is so, this section of the elite is truly evil. Look at Gaza, one of the most populous areas in the world, and examine the future health consequences for the next generation for those living in the area. Will there be less people in Gaza in years to come as a result of the Israeli war policy? Same for Iraq, Afghanistan, and on and on… But let us say it isn’t population control in a strict sense. Is it easier to control an area with vast resources if that area has fewer people?

Either way, the poor and the weak continue to suffer the actions of the rich and the strong. And I hate the rich and the strong for it.

And what have you to show for it, oh great Israel? Have you accomplished any military objective beyond the destruction of schools and mosques and the killing of women and children? Why did you not learn from the 2006 war with Lebanon?

And we know now that Israel broke the truce first, despite what we are told by our lying media. ( And despite this article being about how useless Obama is.)

We also know that Israel is launching a propaganda campaign on the Internet, that will not work. Another thing we know is that Fatah wants to take over from Ha mas, and that is what this is about. We can also see the collaborative nature of the Arab regimes (who despise their own people, much like our ruling class in the US). We also know that people all over the world see through the propaganda, and especially the nations of Scandinavia - in particular Norway, as this state is sending aid to the region even now. So bomb YouTube all you want. It won't accomplish any more than the bombings of innocent children in Gaza.

There is no point to what you are doing, Israel, so stop it!

The Israeli attack on Gaza reminds me of the Israeli attack on Lebanon in 2006. I believe the United States was and is behind both. After all, as Noam Chomsky has pointed out, Israel is a "forward operating base" for the US. I think the reason Israel attacked Lebanon in 2006 was to lay the groundwork for an American attack on Iran after Hezzbollah had been dealt with. However, the Israelis couldn't deal with them, and as the war ended in stalemate (although a costly one for Lebanon's people and infrastructure), this meant that the IDF failed to achieve any objective. This means that Israel lost the war. This was known to military strategists at the time. Here is one of them.

Now we have Israel attacking a much weaker target - Hamas in Gaza. Does anyone remember that Hamas was elected in Gaza? No matter, they have been put on some list by the US, and so they are "terrorists." Strange how Israel has to bend over backwards to explain how what they are doing isn't also terrorism. Yet, the reasons for this attack are likely the same as those for the 2006 attack on Lebanon. It probably has to do with starting a regional war with Iran.

We also have a report, oddly at the same time of this attack, of an Iranian military warehouse exploding mysteriously. Who could have done that? And why at the same time as the Gaza attack. Probably coincidence. Right?

We also have the information Sy Hersh has been putting out over the last few years. Because of Mr. Hersh, we know that covert operations have been conducted by the US in Iran already. So, why wouldn't they bomb a military warehouse? Thee have also been incidents in Iran for which the Iranians blame the US.Here is one. There were also a number of Iranian Guards that died in a bus attack, although it is unclear (to me, at least) whether Iran blamed the US for that one. They seem to have blamed a group that may (or may not have - but likely was) supported by the US for that terrorist attack.

So we know this is going on. The Israeli paper Haaretz carried an article detailing Iran's claims that the US and Britain were trying to destabilize their country, which seems to me already an act of war. And then we have the sanctions, which also could be interpreted as an act of war. Where is the breaking point? What is the goal of all of this? Is it an "arc of instability" throughout the middle east and part of Asia as some have claimed? Why? And what then? Some would answer look to our myopic view of the future, and our place in it - and this would tie into Russia and China policies as well.

Now, listen to some Christmas music. Here

Dennis Kucinich once said, "You can't know the players without a score card." When it comes to Obama, the people who funded him, and how he rose to the top in such a short period of time - David Icke provides this score card with voluminous statistics. I don't agree with him on everything in this article. I certainly don't agree with his view of Bill Ayers or Rev. Wright. But mostly, this article is a good overview of a "super-trickster" Obama, and how the masses around the world have been tricked.

This slipped by me when it was perpetuated a while ago. Apparently, there had been a bunch of pro-war blogs promoting the idea that since 550 tons of yellow cake uranium (non-weapons grade) was being shipped out of Iraq to Canada, then it stands to reason that this must have something to do with Joe Wilson and his Niger trip. This, of course, is being used as a retroactive justification for war.

Of course, never mentioned, is the fact that this yellow cake was in Iraq at least since 1991, and was known about by the UN among others - and was legal for the Iraqis to have at the time. Here is a link debunking the whole myth (revived) of "yellow cake" and "Weapons of Mass Destruction."

Meanwhile, in Iraq, the destruction and killing, the rounding up of the young men, continues unabated - which is exactly why the shoe thrower has become a hero throughout the entire region. The Lancet, a medical journal, did a study to find out how many Iraqis have died as a result of the war. They found that over a million have died as a result of this war. How many more have died in Afghanistan?

Really, the whole idea that yellow cake should be a justification or not for war in Iraq should be questioned anyway. Dave Lindorff recently wrote an article for Counterpunch in which he showed how everybody must have known that Saddam having yellow cake didn't mean there was an imminent threat to the USA. And how could anyone believe that Iraq could be a threat to the USA? This idea is ridiculous right out of the box.

However, Bush is still the biggest liar, and this latest use of yellow cake deception of the people shows how big of a liar he is. That is the real reason this was meant to be kept quiet. People would ask why Bush didn't mention the yellow cake already in Iraq in the first place. 550 tons in Iraq versus 400 tons from Niger. All the talk of dangerous yellow cake, but no talk of the more dangerous depleted uranium, which has caused cancer in kids - not to mention birth defects probably beyond measure at this point.

So, we sense the economic turmoil coming at great speed. But I must ask the question. Doesn't such an evil, fat, ignorant, corrupt, war-like, crass culture, one that has destroyed the country of Iraq, that previously wrecked Vietnam, that is still bombing Afghans - do we as a culture not deserve to make some form of retribution, some form of suffering for our collective sins?

Conspiracy? What conspiracy? All I've learned so far is that a Republican who might have a lot of beans to spill, has suddenly died in a mysterious plane crash, after allegedly being threatened by Karl Rove to "take the fall" for vote rigging in the 2004 Ohio election - or else I guess. Not that the Democrats deserved to win that election, or at all, because they certainly didn't do anything about it at the time. Not that Obama intends to do anything about the criminality of the past administration. And it would be hypocritical if he did, since he probably wants to reserve the right to have a little bit of leeway when it comes to one form of criminality or another.

Noam Chomsky sometimes makes the argument that all of our presidents since WWII(after the WWII war crimes tribunals) could be considered war criminals. He usually doesn't go on to explain how that could be in his books and essays, but once a reporter asked him to explain - and so he went down the list of what each president did in office. I wouldn't be able to recall that list well enough to recount it now.

Still, Noam Chomsky believes the official story about 9/11. Why? There certainly is no reason to accept the government version with all of the holes in it. Especially since some have fears they will do it again. There was a report today about the possible use of military troops domestically from an Arizona paper. The reasons given for why these troops would be needed on the streets of the US, in violation of the law I might add, were terrorism and economic unrest.

If we go back a few months, we might remember that it was Obama that was pushing the idea of some sort of domestic force, along the lines of the military. It was on his website, but had to be pulled down because of all the criticism the idea generated. Take that in consideration with Biden's statement about a "generated crisis" within the early days of the new Administration - and the conspiratorial among us begin to get suspicious at the least.

Not to fear, the recent news is about Obama's selections of cabinet positions dealing with the environment. And as Gore Vidal pointed out 20 years too early, the green god is here, so the threat to our environment can be made into the new global enemy. Of course, there are still those among us who question whether "climate change" is the result of man pumping carbon gas into the atmosphere - but they will be made out to be cranks because they don't fit the new program.

And what is the new program? It is the program of "carbon taxes" and "cap and trade" to save the environment while somehow not saving it. Orwell would love some of the stuff that goes on these days, and sadly, some of it comes from the left side of the dial. If our elite masters can pull it off, they would like to do this on a Global scale - and form some sort of "global governance" around the issue of "climate change." Notice how "global warming" became "climate change?"

Meanwhile, in my section of North America, the wind and cold and snow are dominating the weather like they haven't in many years.
