ISIS Is Being Aimed At The West By Globalists - Heres What We Can Do About ItBy Brandon Smith Specifically, I compared the ISIS phenomenon to another establishment-backed terrorist program that began at the onset of the Cold War in Europe and was publicly exposed in the 1990s. That program was called Operation Gladio. Gladio involved the manipulation of existing extremist groups as well as the complete fabrication of terrorist cells within Europe claiming to be left-wing. The reality was that these terrorist cells were made up of intelligence agency operatives (including CIA operatives) acting as handlers often for duped scapegoats and patsies. These proxy terrorists initiated decades of attacks in Europe, which focused on shootings and bombings in public areas with full media saturation. Gladio-influenced cells, such as Action Directe, carried out at least 50 different violent attacks in France in the 1970s and 1980s, along with groups like Red Army Faction, Black September and the PLFP. Governments across Europe began using the attacks as a rallying cry for a centralized one-European nation; that cry culminated in the formation of the EU. Operation Gladio began in France in 1947, when French Interior Minister Edouard Depreux revealed the existence of a secret stay-behind army codenamed Plan Bleu. In France in 1948, the Western Union Clandestine Committee (WUCC) was created to coordinate secret unorthodox warfare. After the creation of NATO a year later, the WUCC was integrated into the military alliance under the name Clandestine Planning Committee (CPC). The former director of the French intelligence service DGSE, Adm. Pierre Lacoste, said in a 1992 interview with The Nation, that Frances secret army was involved in terrorist activities against Charles de Gaulle, whom the CIA wanted to assassinate. De Gaulle was apparently not entirely innocent in the Gladio affair, either. De Gaulle was very familiar with a secret organization called Service d Action Civique. It ended up being exposed as a training ground for Gladio Agents under Jaques Foccart, a government adviser who would go on to mastermind multiple military coups in Africa. Whether de Gaulle was fully aware of this problem is not known. It was discovered, though, that SAC had infiltrated communist student groups in the late 1960s through the 1970s and attempted to provoke violent actions. De Gaulle was eventually driven out of office after the 1969 failure of the Referendum of Regionalisation. He was replaced by Georges Pompidou, who (what a surprise) was an avid promoter of European unification (centralization). Pompidou founded the French arm of the Pan-European Union Movement. And immediately after he took de Gaulles position, he helped initiate the European Communities Summit, which led directly to the formation of the European Union structure. Gladio was not fully exposed to the wider public until 1990 when Italian Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti came forward to the senate with detailed information. After the information hit the mainstream, the European Parliament was forced to write a resolution against any future false flag projects. Clearly, they have since ignored these promises. For more information on Gladio, I highly recommend the intensively researched book NATOs Secret Armies: Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe by Daniele Ganser, as well as the 1992 BBC documentary Operation Gladio. As I have stated time and time again, government-engineered crisis is designed to do one thing: drive the fearful public toward more centralization and less freedom. Although Operation Gladio was later exposed, it was too late; Gladio (along with other clandestine economic measures) had achieved the goal of a malleable citizenry desperate for more centralized governance; an social attitude which led to a transnational union in Europe with a single currency mechanism. What does this have to do with ISIS? In order to defeat an enemy, you have to know where he comes from, what his motivations are, and who pulls his strings if he has any. As I predicted in the pieces linked at the beginning of this article, ISIS has now been exposed as being supported if not entirely funded and managed by Western covert intelligence through documents obtained from the Department of Defense by Judicial Watch, making ISIS very similar to Gladio in its origins and tactics. This DoD paper should not have been at all surprising to most of us in the liberty movement. The West had been shifting militants from Libya into Syria just before protests suddenly erupted into all-out war. Instructors from the U.K. and France, under U.S. advisement, had been training militants in Jordan specifically for the purpose of invading and disrupting Syria and overthrowing president Bashar Assad. This training continued well after it became clear that the same militants had formed under the banner of ISIS. Establishment elites have openly applauded the radicalization of insurgents in Syria. The Council on Foreign Relations argued that the inclusion of what they called extremist al-Qaida elements in the Syrian insurgency improved the moral of the movement, stating that the Free Syrian Army needs al-Qaida now. The CFR acknowledges that the goal of al-Qaida operatives in Syria is not necessarily to overthrow Assad, but to establish an Islamic state. Despite this, the CFR continued to support the same strategy of militant training to overthrow Assad. The facts are this: In truth, the only unifying drive of many captured ISIS fighters has been a concerted hatred of the West and the U.S. in particular due to our governments complete destabilization of the Middle East. Meaning, the establishment (globalists) brought chaos to the Middle East, then conjured the rise of ISIS out of that despair, then used ISIS to recruit young men with a hatred for the West, and has now led those fighters right to our doorstep. The escalation of force in Syria by both Russia and the West is likely now useless, as thousands of ISIS insurgents have been removed from the combat zone and transported exactly where they prefer to be right next door to us. But defeating ISIS has never been the goal. One must conclude given these facts that the plan by the establishment to force public acceptance of Syrian mass immigration was a Trojan horse strategy to plant ISIS extremists within deadly proximity to Western civilians. But why? Again, this is yet another Gladio-style program designed to strike terror in the hearts of the public and condition them into accepting even greater centralization and less freedom. A European superstate with common border security and a single government authority will certainly be on the table soon. Not to mention, martial law is essentially in place in France today and will be expanded to other EU members as the attacks continue. As with Gladio, Europeans should expect many more events like the Paris attacks in the months to come. The U.S. is set to receive over 10,000 Syrian refugees in the next couple months. Unlike in Europe, where numerous activist groups have been able to partially track numbers and types of people within refugee groups, Americans have little access to information surrounding Syrian immigration to the U.S. I suspect that, as in Europe, the claims that the refugees are only single mothers, children and religious minorities is mostly false, and many of them are actually single military-age males. In the U.S., the federal government has been legally positioning for martial law for years, from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and its indefinite-detention-without-trial provisions that apply to citizens, to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and mass surveillance measures without warrant, to resource confiscation provisions through executive order that apply during any event the White House labels an emergency, to elitist insiders like Wesley Clark planting the concept on national television of World War II-style internment camps for citizens deemed hostile to the status quo. I would also point out that the U.S., and the global economy in general, is currently witnessing a massive slowdown rivaling the credit collapse of 2008. Widespread terrorist attacks are a perfect rationalization for a complete lockdown of Western peoples, as well as a perfect distraction from the banker-generated economic implosion that is progressing in exponentially harsher stages as we head into 2016. Another major advantage to consider to the Paris attacks is that now, with a Syrian passport being conveniently found on one of the terrorists (possibly fake), the war in Syria is given greater rationale while the immigration plan continues unabated. NATO countries are gearing up for a large-scale assault in the region, while Russia is already entrenched. Imagine the potential for an accidental trigger event between the East and West as Russian troops and planes come within spitting distance of NATO troops and planes. Americans should see a Paris-level attack as inevitable in the near term. They should expect similar events in unusual areas of the country, including more suburban and rural areas to ensure that no one feels safe anywhere. They should expect that said attacks will be high frequency and that they will occur in a coordinated manner. This is how Gladio operated, and this is undoubtedly how ISIS will operate. We must first recognize that ISIS is only a surface problem; the deeper problem is corrupt governments across the globe creating dangerous terrorist groups out of thin air. That said, ISIS is still a threat, and must be dealt with along with globalists. If the government insists upon financing and training dangerous militant groups and directly immigrating them along Syrian refugees without any vetting whatsoever, it they insist on wide open borders, then there is not much we can do to prevent ISIS from slipping into in the U.S. We also cannot go the fascist route and round up every Muslim in the name of security as some neocons are suggesting; this is exactly what the elites want, public support for liberty destroying measures against one group that can then be applied to ALL groups. We can, though, take some measures that we should have been instituting all along. Higher pressure on prime immigration centers: Legal immigration should not be an issue normally, but it has been made an issue due to deliberately lax security measures by the federal government. If the government is not going to take action, then the American people must. There are a limited number of these relocation centers in the U.S.; and activist pressure could be applied, along with pressure on local and state officials. Michigan, Texas and Alabama among other states have publicly announced that they will not be taking any more refugees until the government revises its vetting standards. That is a perfectly rational approach. Although I suspect the hour may be too late to disrupt the flow of ISIS sleeper cells into our country, we should do what we can to end the current insane immigration policies. Locally managed border security: The federal border patrol simply is not getting the job done right now. And the great threat is that once an attack does occur within the U.S., the federal government will suggest a militarization of the border (or the entire nation) rather than taking simple measures they should have taken long ago. You see, the goal of false-flag terror is to motivate the public to demand more government power. This is why followers of the neoconservative mindset are idiotic. The establishment CREATED the problem of ISIS and potential ISIS immigration. And when it all goes sour, neocons cry out that the same government needs expanded militarized authority to do its job. I say, No more. Border security should be handled at the local level rather than the federal level, meaning the people of the vulnerable states should be organizing their own security measure, patrols, alarms, response teams, etc. I am so tired of hearing that we should let the professionals do the job. Frankly, there are no professionals in the area of border security seeing as we now have wide-open borders. The locals have every right to secure their own states and will probably do a better job that the federal government ever has. Your tactical response kit: Build an active-shooter kit for your vehicle and ALWAYS carry a sidearm, either open carry or concealed if you have a CCW. I open carry at all times as a matter of principle and have never been asked to leave an establishment as a result. But if you are worried about confrontation with people or businesses, then simply carry concealed. Open-carry citizens could dissuade attackers from striking a particular place altogether through blatant show of force, while CCW holders are less visible. There are advantages to both. An active-shooter kit would require a lightweight folding-stock rifle or a short-barrel AR-style pistol with an arm brace, a lightweight tactical vest with mags and ammo, ballistic plates, smoke, a rifle light (for dark indoor spaces in particular; night vision with limited depth perception is far less effective than a simple light), a trauma kit with pressure bandages, celox gauze, tourniquets, chest seals, decompression needles, etc., as well as a radio communications kit. All gear should be tailored to the individuals expertise and needs. This kit should be placed in a nondescript backpack or carrying case for easy transport. Obviously, train with all of your gear extensively before using it in the field. Personal and team training for active shooters: The only way Americans can guarantee any measure of safety from a Paris-style attack is for as many citizens as possible to be armed and trained. This means mentally training to go TOWARD the sound of the shooting, rather than to run away from it, as well as tactical methods to marginalize a shooters ability to move and project violence. Team training is a must, and you should already be working within a group to learn how to function in combat without danger of friendly fire or misdirected fire that might put innocent bystanders at risk. The common argument against citizens defending themselves is that they are untrained and are likely to do more harm than good. This is nonsense. One armed person in Paris could have made all the difference, as this man armed with a .38 revolver did when his church in South Africa came under attack by terrorists. Another argument is that when armed citizens respond aggressively to an attack, they risk being mistaken as terrorists by authorities. I have to point out that the authorities rarely arrive in time to accomplish anything, let alone mistake you on the scene as a terrorist while defending yourself. Military-grade training far superior to the training mandated by law enforcement is widely available to U.S. citizens. It is time to accept that this is the world we live in now. Are you going to put blind faith in a corrupt government system that has deliberately put you in harms way, or are you going to take proactive measures to protect yourself and those around you? Make no mistake; your safety is in your hands whether you like it or not. You can read more from Brandon Smith at his site Alt-Market.com.

You can contact Brandon Smith at: brandon@alt-market.com We all have the same enemies no matter where we live. All the problems all the wars are caused by the same people, and we pay these people !! We have this inconvenient truth called the 2nd amendment that tells people what they must do in times like these. And hiding under the bed is not listed. Agreed. It is in many ways beyond bizarre that the american people know who is behind the orchestration of these attacks and we act like it has nothing at all to do with the criminals in DC. For all those americans who are deep in the denial and pretending we have a legitimate government, let me put it in terms you may understand. Your neighbors have pointed out there is a man setting fires around the outside of your house and you even see him yourself but all you do is run after him putting out the fires and do not stop HIM whatsoever, and now he has hired extra men to help him. The application of band aids will be never ending if we do not get real and deal with the root cause of this problem, not to mention just how insane we appear to the rest of the world. I hear the keyboard warriors at infowars all the time talking big but do absolutely nothing. Even if ISIS strikes and americans (the common man on the street) stop them, DC will just get another boogie man to come after you. Sooner or later you are going to see the truth that the criminals in DC have lost their minds. Yes, I believe the Tri-lateral commission and the Bilderbergs are behind a lot of this. George Soros also has his fingerprints all over it. The apex globalists are behind ALL of it, one way or another. The conspiracy by European elites to fully capture the United States is an old one going back to Cecil Rhodes, the Rothschilds, and other like minded elites. The conspiracy goes further back yet to a period shortly after the founding of the US when Jefferson and his allies fought political battles against the likes of Hamilton and his British bankster masters. Its an old war of layers of deception to perpetually enslave humanity. The BEST WE JOHN Q. PUBLIC CITIZEN of the US of A is to toss that MUSIM LOVING OBOOOOOMA the MUSH FOR BRAINS out of the white hosue along with the rest of the DEMON RATS out of Congress . /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I especially enjoyed the hundred or so forward slashes. Did you get them as a package deal? Most people that have done the research agree that that ISIS, Al Qeada, Al Nesura Ect. are covertly supported by the Intelligence agencies of the U.S. and allies as part of their regime change policy. First in Libya and now Syria. Bosnian and Albanian Muslims have been supported in Yugoslavia and used for destroying the only one working socialist model of the world. Now, there are two muslims states created on Serbian soil both are cradle of radical Islam that was blessed by US/NATO forces. Working social model: words not normally expected to be seen together. One thing is true: there certainly havent been any others. I hate to quote Margaret Thatcher, but she correctly said, the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples money. Besides, socialism never even worked in socialist governments. It works very well for a few people. The book, CIA Crime Incorporated of America documents that many of the Muslim Brotherhood fighters (Al Qaeda) the U.S. used in Afghanistan in the 1980s were then sent into Bosnia in the 1990s to destabilize and destroy Yugoslavia. Also, the U.S. CIA was sending KLA fighters to the Al Qaeda training bases in Afghanistan to train them to better destroy Yugoslavia. To destroy Yugoslavia means here to destroy Serbs! Around 11-12 years ago, McCain, when asked by a MSM reporter what his solution for the illegal immigration problem would be, said he would install highway checkpoints throughout the US interior and entry checkpoints to cities instead of simply enforcing the laws on the books. McCains response foreshadowed what seems to be happening in Europe, restriction of border crossings and eventually constant tracking. Its coming to the US in the near future if more people dont pull their heads out of the sand. I am amused by the and allies euphemism. Better to be clearand the damn Saudis and Zionists. This was missed in your article: The Islamic State was created by the CIA to promote the establishment of the New World Order, the global government of Wall Street with a global police in order to slave you and me to protect us from our civil liberties while exploit all of us. Russia and the Shiha Muslems and the Kurds are not part of that NWO. Every one has particular interests. Only the European and American elites need a global government for their nefarious objectives . The Russian elites are just as entrenched in the NWO as the Saudi elites, Chinese elites, Jordanian elites, European elites, etc. Its a global mafia jostling for pieces of the pie. The world government concept is a western elite project while the totalitarian impulse with elite rule is a human-kind malady. Why else did the Soviets engage in brutal expansionism and the genocide of millions of dissenters? Iran adopted IMF and World bank structural reforms after the Iran-Iraq war and the process of tranformation into the NWO paradigm has accelerated under western educated Rouhani, who pledged to merge Iran into the globalist neoliberal paradigm when he ran for office. Our nemesis is the international bankers, it is Wall Street and western elites who report to them, not the other way around. Brazil Russia India China and South Africa (BRICS) are the alternative to the New World Order, one repressive global government where a minimal portion of the current population after a nuclear war to be the pages of the 0.1%. Your knowledge of geopolitics is flawed. There is no Jordanian elite or unified European elite with Latvians, Estonias, Portugueses, or Irish, among others and the British elite is not so happy with the Germans. The French joined he Russians against ISIS. You mentioned the Soviet genocidal expansion but apparently you are not aware of what Santa Ana did to Mexico and Mexican at this side of Rio Grande and what Grant did to the Native American Indians.Essentially you are fitted to be educated because you recognize the existence of the malady of the 1% and the financial imperialism represented by bankers and Wall Street. The BRICS bank system is under the control of BIS. BRICS nations are tied to the IMF and World Bank. The UN, a Rockefeller and Rothschild construct, was long in favor of a new BRICS style alternative system as a stepping stone to a global currency and global governance. There are no Jordanian elites? The Jordanians have been closely working with the NWO for a long time. The mainstream media reported they were strongly participating in the training of the jihadists in Syria. You make improper assumptions about how well informed I am. I do not nor have I ever defended what the parasites who have captured the US have done to create massive levels of suffering and chaos using the country I was born in as a tool for control and subjugation. As a neuroscientist and long time student of unvarnished world history I am also not naive to human nature. Whether intended or not, everything listed in the article of what can be done are nothing more than band aids. We are a nation of laws, and if the laws do not apply equally to EVERYONE than they are no good for ANYONE. The laws are good for the elite. See what happened to Martha Stwart. An slap in the wrist! tyranny = government. is it time for the common horde to take a closer look at what these governments are all about ? creating a boogy man and telling the other side they are right for the sake of war/death is hegemony. governments have never and will never represent nor protect the lower classes. Passing restrictive laws all the whilst extracting our labor (ie; taxes).They are exempt from the so called laws they pass. Playing one side against the other, causing chaos to keep the eye off the ball and to continue their perversion live styles. They sit behind their desk and tell our sons and daughters to go fight, whilst theirs sit in the lap of luxury, throwing little temper tantrums no doubt. This is how the silver spoon crowd rolls. government is the worst investment I have ever been robbed out of. This is my position on the Syrian proxy war on behalf of the New World Order and the salafits by the CIA: Let us go back to Afghanistan and the Soviet Union war during the 80s, If the NWO is defined as IMF, World Bank, UN control, neoliberal economic system with IMF structural adjustments, surveillance and tracking, Economic Interdependence, moving towards regional governance, G20, trade treaties that destroy national sovereignty (and democracy in nations with aspects of representative government), conformance to Agenda 21, and 2030 Agenda, geoengineering, and globally harmonized laws and cultural practices, then all nations of the world are coming under the umbrella of the NWO. Take a look a the map of the New Middle East Project on the internet. Several years ago TPTB mapped out a Kurdish homeland and divided Iraq into three parts, they are destroying nation states bit by bit. In 2011, the GCC middle east regional government was formed using NWO language. Russia and Asia are in the process of forming regional governments. There are US government maps from the 1940s proposing to break up the US into ten regions. All of humanity is a target in the long run. The rest of what you say about Operation Cyclone and ISIS as Operation Cyclone 2.0 (ISIS) as well as the illegal invasion of several nations is well understood by most of those who are awake following alt media. George Orwells 1984 also featured never ending engineered conflicts in remote regions engaging faux rival Superstates, allies one day, nemeses the next. Sounds like Vietnam and the middle east, to name a few. One of ICLEIs (UN Agenda 21) 11 world regions is named OCEANIA exactly like one of the superstates in 1984. Orwell socialized in elite circles with the likes of the Huxleys. He knew what the long term plan was. Consider in your picture Maltus and population explosion with limited resources and the failure to control the growth of the global population. BUM! WW III, a nuclear war. New World Order is not about interdependence but about annihilation of the humanity. It is not about markets and technology but about the selfish survival of the .01 % with the rest of the 1% as their servants and some of the rest of the 99% as their pages and slaves. The Russians do not need the nukes. They developed to Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon that do not kill people. Only fry circuits. About the Kurdistan. The Otoman and British empires distorted the Kurdish homeland. The Kurds are not fighting against Assad. They are fighting for a free and unified Kurdistan, with links in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey, which I support. In fourth grade I fell in love with the Kurdish culture.Their enemy are the Turks and they are being bombarded by the air force of ISIS: US Air Force and Turkeys. I know globalists have said the population of humans should be around 2 billion, some say as low as 500 million and there are soft-kill protocols going on right now. One of many reasons for the major wars since 1900 has had to have been large scale culling of populations. That said, my guess is that most of the Malthusian brainwashing has been done to foster a mindset of the end justifies the means in the ruling elite and their minions. On a practical level, control of humanity in the paradigm they have been creating (Technocracy, which not the same as technology, rather it is absolute control of each human being), depends on the elites having ABSOLUTE centralized control of major energy sources, the reason they needed to fully capture middle east oil fields and create mechanisms to control and monitor energy consumption at the individual level that is where Smart Grid, Smart Phones, Smart Meters, Smart Cities, and now Smart Countries (e.g. Qatar) and Smart Regional Governments (new middle east GCC) come in, along with Global Biometric IDs and cashless societies. There are enough resources for all 7 billion people on the planet to live reasonably comfortable and dignified lives, and well as free, informed, and empowered IF we could work together and help each other and learn from each other WITHOUT interference from the elites and their Matrix of Lies. The global elite know this which is why they constantly work to divide, blind, and confuse, and compartmentalize humanity. I know the Kurds have been pawns and exploited, they deserve security and peace. The only good thing to come out of the New Middle East regional government is long ago the global elite decided the Kurds would get their own designated region, this will ensure a weakening of surrounding nations. If only the same thing could be accomplished without enslaving all of humanity. WWIII could happen, however, it is highly unlikely as it would set back the long term agenda of the apex globalists, which I am certain from your comments you do not yet grasp. WWIII is already here in the form of engineered terrorism (ISIS) and is the final war to control our MINDS. Sorry, but you are still mistaken about who the Russian elites are serving. Ive read thoroughly sourced and researched books and countless papers on Russias political system and have carefully noted the disintegration of basic rights and civil liberties. I am aware of the dignity and good hearts of the Russian people who have suffered much from the predatory actions of the Zionist dominated International Bankers who have manipulated Russia for well over a century both from the outside and within Russia. I am also grateful to the great Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn for chronicling the history of brutality and oppression under totalitarian rule, a survivor of Russias gulags. It always gets back to the extremes of human nature that manifest when people are deliberately brainwashed and set against each other. US civil war was not about the abolition of slavery but to keep US as the farmland for England vs. the development of a new industrialized country. That the confederates were controlled by the predecessor of the Britishs M 16 and the Federal Reserve of Virginia (controlled by London) is well documented.That the American Revolution was not about liberty and civil rights but about to stop the over taxation of the colonies, which did not have representation, is also documented in history books. Similarly the Bolchevik Revolution was not about the power of the proletariat but to envision a new world and society with more fair distribution of wealth which had to be created somehow, what was not achieved because the Soviets had to fight the Otoman empire after WW I and left their government to fall in the hands of the lunatic paranoid Stalin (maybe with reasons after the so much times he was almost going to be killed by the West) to develop its own war machine. The Soviet gulags were not different that the US prison system, where prisoners provide cheap labor. But what we are facing at the end of the day today is a massive nuclear culling by US and NATO of the global population and the slavery of those allowed to survive. To suppress our civil liberties where in recent history have not been suppressed in to shut us, so we can not protest our slaughtering. To survive we need to strive for a decentralized world All that you have to do is go to Youtube and check out the many videos of thousands of military aged males from, it seems everywhere but Syria. See their behavior and hear how they demand and demandStop listening to noise and start seeing. i do not get my information from youtube but rather from reliable international media, scholarly books, etc. No Syrian refugees have even been accused of terrorism in the US. Stop getting your information from youtube and start consulting actual news media and books based on scholarship. My point, they are mostly not Syrian refugees. What difference does it make if they have been accused of terrorism. Prudence and common sense says you dont invite POTENTIAL killers into your home or country anymore than you would invite known killers. Maybe you should leave the lying scholars and controlled international media and take time out to see what people are recording live regarding the mass of young men shown on Youtube videos. As well as the stories of the horrific rapes committed 100% by those among them that your reliable mainstream international media covers up and down plays as if they will be left out of the final devastation being engineered for the people of Europe and and USA. As for scholarship, the prints of the corrupt politicians,business people and other SCHOLARS who control government and armies and money are all over this mess and the greater ultimate ENGINEERED mess to come. GOOD LUCK to you when they are done and before then of course. Remember the Scholars in control, in the words of Carl Rove CREATE REALITY which your actual news media and books based on THEIR scholarship present to you who are seeking it. International and Domestic sources. Youtube is just as reliable a news medium as those you depend on and they include tips from international news sources that are mainstream and never broadcast in the USA containing truth withheld from the people. Thanks for the thoughts. I agree it would be unwise to take in people on youtube vowing revenge against the US. Who has argued we should? The public noise today is about taking in 10,000 Syrians (half children) fleeing terrorism. Your assumption that youtube (tv for the internet generation) over lying scholarsand controlled international media is an assumption that has no foundation. What is your evidence that scholarly books are written by liars? What is your evidence that international media from the West,Russia,Japan,China, Africa, etc, which represent corporate views,dissenting views, and independent media are all controlled. You have no such evidence, as you lump those who dissent with those who parrot government and corporate propaganda. You are merely blowing hot air, which no rational person would accept. You discount the ability of people with excellent educations and developed critical thinkings skills to be able to tell fake scholarship from genuine, media propaganda from honest investigative journalism. Your cynicism leads you to youtube, the most shallow information source of all. I suggest you read some reputable scholars and read the international press,using your critical skills to separate the real information from the BS, instead of using absurd, unsupported assumptions to claim youtube is as reliable as a diet of worldclass scholarship and the diversity of international media. When you quote propagandist Karl Rove, I know where you are coming from. You are a victim of the right wing propaganda machine. Gave you a thumbs up. I like that you think. However, i live in the middle not right or left. Although i was a victim of the left wing propaganda machine for years. Roves words as given are good as an example of what we are up against. He works for the real powers that be and he knows it. I chose to quote those words because he illustrates a most important point, the TPTB dont care what you or i believe or think. They are busy creating the reality of what they believe. You ask me proof of my beliefs based on my research then put forth your infallible belief that half of 10,000 persons allegedly from Syria are children. I suppose your proof would be your excellent education and developed critical skills. Perhaps the unsupported assumption that the excellent LIAR living in the white house who claims to be black is speaking truth since he is using children and women again to stop you from thinking. Of course we dont seem to have any shortage of our women and children needing help in the USA. I have read reputable scholars, many who were made to appear untrustworthy on the topics which after the passage of time were proven to be far more trust worthy than those who condemned them. As to the issue of credible international media many of the broadcasts i watched were of local and international coverage of events and news reports of crimes committed. Most of my information comes from reading sources. I however do visit Youtube to see pictures of the subject matter, especially when a link is provided, very helpful. I do believe i have become some what a cynic, however i must insist on the continued blowing of hot air as it is in general a good sign that i am still alive. Peace.i shall trouble you no morei hope. Great use of the Karl Rove quote! I used it often myself. It really is the perfect allusion to what we are facing given countless disinfo agents serving TPTB (and some well-meaning but compartmentalized persons) work around the clock to keep us mired in endless debate and analysis of old crimes and paradigms while the new totalitarian prison planet reality is being forged. Best regards to you. So, Ive noticed a logical loop in this whole NWO, vast conspiracy thing You think its huge, has been around for a long time and is comprised of humans that can actually keep secrets over many years and many thousands of conspirators. Clearly they are well funded, powerful yet somehow incapable of achieving whatever goal globalization? Disarmament of the citizens? you think they have. Im all for em I guess since the last 50 years have been remarkable more people, longer lives, no world wars, more guns in private hands than there are adults, and heck if you dislike Muslims, theyre doing a fantastic job of killing one another at about 10x the rate of them killing us. More NWO please. And PlayStation. I think we can ignore them and focus on the real threat. The Sun. Its warming the planet, trying to drown us and cause droughts too, and I swear, its overheard within a day of every terrorist attack. Coincildence?
