Putin to (Nobel Prize winner) Obama: 'Think about future Syria victims' ...

The Who, What, Why of the War in Syria?

Watch these videos and read the text below from Zerohedge.com. It is time you learn that the US government is lying through its teeth about Syria. Once you are done with this, look elsewhere on this site to learn more about previous lies, including 9/11, Boston Marathon Bombing, the War in Iraq and many many more. Then ask yourself, why?

Submitted by Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog,

If Barack Obama is going to attack Syria, he is going to do it without the support of the American people, without the approval of Congress, without the approval of the United Nations, and without the help of the British. Now that the British Parliament has voted against a military strike, the Obama administration is saying that it may take "unilateral action" against Syria.

But what good would "a shot across Syria's bow" actually do? A "limited strike" is not going to bring down the Assad regime and it is certainly not going to end the bloody civil war that has been raging inside Syria. Even if the U.S. eventually removed Assad, the al-Qaeda affiliated rebels that would take power would almost certainly be even worse than Assad.

Even in the midst of this bloody civil war, the rebels have taken the time and the effort to massacre entire Christian villages. Why is Barack Obama so obsessed with helping such monsters? There is no good outcome in Syria. The Assad regime is absolutely horrible and the rebels are even worse. Why would we want the U.S. military to get involved in such a mess?

It isn't as if it is even possible for the U.S. military to resolve the conflict that is going on in that country. At the core, the Syrian civil war is about Sunni Islam vs. Shia Islam. It is a conflict that goes back well over a thousand years.

Assad is Shiite, but the majority of Syrians are Sunni Muslims. Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been pouring billions of dollars into the conflict, because they would love to see the Assad regime eliminated and a Sunni government come to power in Syria. On the other side, Iran is absolutely determined to not allow that to happen.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar have no problem with using Sunni terrorists (al-Qaeda) to achieve their political goals. And as a very important ally of the Saudis, the U.S. has been spending a lot of money to train and equip the "rebels" in Syria.

But there was a problem. The Syrian government has actually been defeating the rebels. So something had to be done.

If it could be made to look like the Assad regime was using chemical weapons, that would give the U.S. government the "moral justification" that it needed to intervene militarily on the side of the rebels. In essence, it would be a great excuse for the U.S. to be able to go in and do the dirty work of the Saudis for them.

So that is where we are today. The justification for attacking Syria that the Obama administration is giving us goes something like this...

-Chemical weapons were used in Syria.

-The rebels do not have the ability to use chemical weapons.

-Therefore it must have been the Assad regime that was responsible for using chemical weapons.

-The U.S. military must punish the use of chemical weapons to make sure that it never happens again.

Unfortunately for the Obama administration, the world is not buying it. In fact, people are seeing right through this charade.

The U.S. government spends $52,000,000,000 a year on "intelligence", but apparently our intelligence community absolutely refuses to see the obvious. WND has been able to uncover compelling evidence that the rebels in Syria have used chemical weapons repeatedly, and yet government officials continue to insist over and over that no such evidence exists and that we need to strike Syria immediately.

Shouldn't we at least take a little bit of time to figure out who is actually in the wrong before we start letting cruise missiles fly?

Because the potential downside of an attack against Syria is absolutely massive. As I wrote about the other day, if we attack Syria we have the potential of starting World War 3 in the Middle East.

We could find ourselves immersed in an endless war with Syria, Iran and Hezbollah which would be far more horrible than the Iraq war ever was. It would essentially be a war with Shia Islam itself, and that would be a total nightmare.

If you are going to pick a fight with those guys, you better pack a lunch. They fight dirty and they are absolutely relentless. They will never forget and they will never, ever forgive.

A full-blown war with Syria, Iran and Hezbollah would be a fight to the death, and they would not hesitate to strike soft targets all over the United States. I don't think that most Americans have any conception of what that could possibly mean.

If the American people are going to stop this war, they need to do it now. The following are 25 quotes about the coming war with Syria that every American should see...

1. Barack Obama, during an interview with Charlie Savage on December 20, 2007: "The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

2. Joe Biden, during a television interview in 2007: "The president has no constitutional authority ... to take this nation to war ... unless we're attacked or unless there is proof we are about to be attacked. And if he does, if he does, I would move to impeach him."

3. U.S. Representative Ted Poe: "Mr. President, you must call Congress back from recess immediately to take a vote on a military strike on Syria. Assad may have crossed a red line but that does not give you the authority to redline the Constitution."

4. U.S. Representative Kurt Schrader: "I see no convincing evidence that this is an imminent threat to the United States of America."

5. U.S. Representative Barbara Lee: "While we understand that as commander-in-chief you have a constitutional obligation to protect our national interests from direct attack, Congress has the constitutional obligation and power to approve military force, even if the United States or its direct interests (such as its embassies) have not been attacked or threatened with an attack."

6. The New York Times: "American officials said Wednesday there was no 'smoking gun' that directly links President Bashar al-Assad to the attack, and they tried to lower expectations about the public intelligence presentation."

7. U.S. Senator Rand Paul: "The war in Syria has no clear national security connection to the United States and victory by either side will not necessarily bring in to power people friendly to the United States."

8. U.S. Senator Tim Kaine: "I definitely believe there needs to be a vote."

9. Donald Rumsfeld: "There really hasn’t been any indication from the administration as to what our national interest is with respect to this particular situation."

10. Robert Fisk: "If Barack Obama decides to attack the Syrian regime, he has ensured – for the very first time in history – that the United States will be on the same side as al-Qa’ida."

11. Former congressman Dennis Kucinich: "So what, we’re about to become al-Qaeda’s air force now?"

12. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem: "We have two options: either to surrender, or to defend ourselves with the means at our disposal. The second choice is the best: we will defend ourselves."

13. A Syrian Army officer: "We have more than 8,000 suicide martyrs within the Syrian army, ready to carry out martyrdom operations at any moment to stop the Americans and the British. I myself am ready to blow myself up against US aircraft carriers to stop them attacking Syria and its people."

14. Khalaf Muftah, a senior Ba'ath Party official: "We have strategic weapons and we’re capable of responding."

15. An anonymous senior Hezbollah source: "A large-scale Western strike on Syria will plunge Lebanon virtually and immediately into the inferno of a war with Israel."

16. Ali Larjiani, the speaker of the Iranian parliament: "...the country which has been destroyed by the terrorists during the past two years will not sustain so much damage as the warmongers will receive in this war."

17. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: "Starting this fire will be like a spark in a large store of gunpowder, with unclear and unspecified outcomes and consequences"

18. General Mohammad Ali Jafari, chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards: (an attack on Syria) "means the immediate destruction of Israel."

19. Israeli President Shimon Peres: "Israel is not and has not been involved in the civil war in Syria, but if they try to hurt us, we will respond with full force."

20. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "We are not part of the civil war in Syria, but if we identify any attempt whatsoever to harm us, we will respond and we will respond in strength."

21. The Jerusalem Post: "The lines between Hezbollah and the Syrian regime are so blurred that Israel will hold Damascus responsible if Hezbollah bombards Israel in the coming days, Israeli officials indicated on Wednesday."

22. Ron Paul: "The danger of escalation with Russia is very high"

23. Pat Buchanan: "The sole beneficiary of this apparent use of poison gas against civilians in rebel-held territory appears to be the rebels, who have long sought to have us come in and fight their war."

24. Retired U.S. General James Mattis: "We have no moral obligation to do the impossible and harm our children’s future because we think we just have to do something."

25. Syrian refugee Um Ahmad: "Isn't it enough, all the violence and fighting that we already have in the country, now America wants to bomb us, too?"

Treasury Department Whistleblower Warns of Western War Crimes in Syria and Beyond

Do you know who this person is? He is the former Assistant Secretary to the Treasury under Ronald Reagan. I think he has been referred to as the Father of Reaganomics. He has changed his tune over the past 30 years to become an ACTIVIST! He actually writes on his blog and speaks on alternative media outlets about his understanding of what's really going on behind the scenes in our government.

Do you think he understands the machinations of Washington DC, from Capitol Hill to the Pentagon? If so, then you'd better listen to him.

He is not a whistleblower per se, not by the strict definition. But he is an insider telling Americans on the Internet and on alternative media that the world is in a perilous place, due to a coup d'etat that has taken place in America. The only problem is, most Americans don't realize their government has been taken over by stateless elitists hiding behind organized crime cartels. These cartels are in such great control of world politics and economics that we actually THINK we are in control of the decision making process in what we call government. Or we are dumbed-down employees working for corporations that are profiting from war and conflict. That's why they are systemically too big to fail. Too many of us actually work for them. Imagine if we were able to actually hold special investigations and assign criminal punishment and fines to the guilty bastards at the top of the pyramid. Then, just like Al Qaida, a new head would pop up and take the reigns. Just like a terrorist organization. After all, they do have their own intelligence networks, banks, central banks, transport, food, and insurance companies. They have entire networks of approved operations that get plenty of media attention, while they surpress, subvert, and destroy the competition.

Read what Dr. Paul Craig Roberts has to say about Syria and then look at more of his articles on his website and videos on YouTube.

Syria: Another Western War Crime In The Making

Paul Craig Roberts

Update:

The war criminals in Washington and other Western capitals are determined to maintain their lie that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. Having failed in efforts to intimidate the UN chemical inspectors in Syria, Washington has demanded that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon withdraw the chemical weapons inspectors before they can assess the evidence and make their report. The UN Secretary General stood up to the Washington war criminals and rejected their demand. However, as with Iraq, Washington’s decision to commit aggression against Syria is not based on any facts.http://rt.com/op-edge/syria-un-war-investigation-006/

Who is Provoking World War 3?

Watch these videos in any order you choose but at least take the time to learn what is going on. The harder part is figuring out WHO is pulling the strings. It is NOT just the puppet politicians. There are hundreds, if not thousands of people behind the scenes, not mentioned in the official government propaganda machine known as mass media (ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, FOX, MSNBC, etc.)

If you dont have time to read, at least watch RT and start to get a sense of what is going on.

LaRouche PAC vs. Ron Paulians vs. Bill Still on Monetary Reform

I am no expert but I can see a distinction between the Bill Still camp, the Ron Paul camp, and the Lyndon LaRouche camp on monetary reform and central banking. This difference seems to be the crux of the "national bank" debate we see citing the Federal Reserve as the root of all monetary evil in the United States - an opinion which I also hold. Keep in mind that all three of these camps are IGNORED by mainstream media because they are controlled by the big banks.

First, the Bill Still camp supports the end of fractional reserve banking altogether. A good idea so long as there is a transition from our current 10% reserve requirement to 100% that doesn't completely dry up the money supply. Bill Still also supports Ellen Brown and the Public Banking Institute and the notion of State owned banks like that of the Bank of North Dakota. If enough of these banks are put in motion, we could counter the need for the Federal Reserve. I am all for it. He is also for competing currencies and ending the ability for governments to borrow. Both are damn good ideas.

Second, Lyndon LaRouche and his LPAC group support the return of Glass-Steagall, the 1933 act that split the commercial and investment banking arms - a damn good idea since the investment banks are constantly inventing new ponzi schemes for making money, like the current several hundred trillion dollar derivatives market, at least $225 trillion is now held by the big five banks and supposedly covered by the FDIC. If there was another Lehman moment, the derivatives would bankrupt the FDIC.

Third, LaRouche supports the return of a new Bank of the United States, one which is possibly more transparent than the Federal Reserve but still a Federally controlled central bank with fractional reserve banking, not backed by any hard and scarce commodity such as gold or silver. This bank would be owned in part by the US government and the remainder by treasury holders, such as China, Japan, OPEN nations, all the major banks, etc. LaRouche has a completely polar opposite opinion of history as it relates to Andrew Jackson, and Alexander Hamilton. I believe you could refer to him as a Federalist.

Fourth, Ron Paul, primarily from the Austrian school of economics, believes in competing currencies, including the legalization of silver, as it was prior to the crime of 1873, and / or gold as it was before 1933 when we were on a full gold standard. He believes in small government and that the Federal Reserve is suppressing interest rates and creating mal investment, such as the housing bubble, the bond bubble.

There are so many more points that should be debated, live on the Ron Paul Channel or elsewhere in mainstream media. Lauren Lyster, Bob English, Max Keiser, Peter Schiff, Scott Horton, Ben Swann, and others could mediate and broadcast.

This is a big deal. Each of these perspectives believes that the privately held Federal Reserve and its charter members (a subset of its owners) are destroying the global economy. Make no mistake. There is something wicked and nefarious about the Federal Reserve, its just that the opposition is not united, nor do they control the media so they are not heard. 90% of Americans could read this blog post and not have the slightest clue about what I am saying, but all those that are familiar with the "#EndTheFed", "#GlassSteagall", and "#PublicBank" memes are certainly familiar with part of it.

In a separate article here, I argue that Occupy and the TeaParty should unite to fight the big banks and government corruption. This is THE ISSUE we should unite on!

I may be slightly wrong about each of these positions. No doubt I am. However, I am an average American with a Keynsian Economics degree that has spent at least 3 years of intense research on the question of the money supply, macroeconomics, banking, and insurance, and the crimes bankers commit and if I don't get it, it seems unlikely that the general public gets it. Therefore, the public debate is necessary. It would take months if not years to get the distinctions out. Meanwhile, maybe we could awaken, stir up, and unite enough people to make real progress on the problem.

Here are the 3 stories:

Mexican Oil Plundered Once Again By Foreign Agents

This article appeared in the New York Times this morning. Recognize that the supposed liberal media suggests that Mexico should open up its oil markets to foreign investors, just like it was nearly 100 years ago when Rockefeller's Standard Oil dominated the industry. NAFTA basically opened the door to this move. Just as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) will open the doors to foreign multinationals to plunder the United States even further than it has.

For a glimpse into the future of the United States, we should visit Mexico. 7 years of drug wars waged by the American and Israeli intelligence networks, all working for Big Oil and their Bankers, have destroyed mi querido Mexico.

In Move for Economy, Mexican President Seeks Foreign Investment in Energy
By ELISABETH MALKIN
August 12, 2013
MEXICO CITY — President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico on Monday, pushing one of the most sweeping economic overhauls here in the past two decades, proposed opening his country’s historically closed energy industry to foreign investment.
The president’s plan, which would rewrite two constitutional amendments, challenges a bedrock assumption of Mexico’s national identity — its total sovereignty over its energy resources — by inviting private companies to explore and pump for oil and natural gas.
...
Already, Mexico must import almost half its gasoline, mostly from the United States. Mexican companies pay 25 percent more for electricity than competitors in other countries, the government says. Although Mexico has some of the world’s largest reserves of shale gas, it imports one-third of its natural gas.
In advancing the plan, Mr. Peña Nieto is making a gamble that the support he has built with opposition parties to make deep changes in education and telecommunications policy will carry over into the debate over energy and a related tax proposal he will send to Congress next month.
...
In energy, the divisions are much deeper. In particular, Mexico’s left-wing parties have been adamant that the Constitution’s 75-year-old prohibition on private investment should remain ironclad. From the right, the National Action Party, or PAN, proposed energy reform last month that would go even further than Mr. Peña Nieto to invite in private investment.
Public opinion is also suspicious about opening up the industry. A survey last year by CIDE, a Mexico City university, found that 65 percent of the public opposed private investment in Pemex, the state-owned oil monopoly.
“The entire energy reform is a potential source of conflict,” said Luis Miguel Labardini, a consultant with Marcos y Asociados, a Mexican energy consulting firm. “Sometimes in Mexico we are conflict-averse.”
The proposal would allow private companies to negotiate profit-sharing contracts with the government to drill for oil and gas. Under such a scheme, the reserves would continue to belong to the Mexican state, but investors would get a share of the profits. Private investment would be allowed in refining, oil pipelines, and petrochemical production.
...
The left-wing leader, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who won more than 30 percent of the vote in last year’s general election, is planning street marches to protest the change. If he succeeds in filling the streets of the capital it may be harder for party leaders to stand behind the plan.
Since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement exempted energy from Mexico’s broad economic opening, presidents have attempted to loosen the prohibitions that give Pemex sole control over all oil and gas exploration and production. No joint ventures are allowed. Those past proposals have often withered in Congress.
But this time, the precipitous decline of Mexico’s energy industry may work in Mr. Peña Nieto’s favor.
Pemex, which was long an important source of crude imports into the United States, is spending more to pump less. As Mexico’s giant Cantarell oil field in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico has declined, production has dropped 25 percent from the peak in 2004, to just over 2.5 million barrels of oil a day.
At the same time, the amount the government budgets for Pemex to invest has steadily climbed to $26 billion this year. To increase production and reserves, Pemex needs to drill in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and in onshore deposits of shale oil and gas. But the company has neither the capital nor the expertise to increase production significantly, analysts say.

#EndtheFed - The Book from Ron Paul That Rocked America

In his latest book End the Fed, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. What most people don’t realize is that the Fed — created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia — is actually working against their own personal interests. Congressman Paul’s urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America’s economic policy for future generations. Read the comments here.

Big Oil & Their Bankers in the Persian Gulf

Four Horsemen, Eight Families andTheir Global Intelligence, Narcotics and Terror Network

By Dean Henderson

“…hair-raising and a masterpiece which deserves not less than the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism…What I like most of it is that Henderson gets to the point from the first page, without unnecessary prologues or digressions. This book should be a requisite for every American to study.” -Dr. Carlos J. Canggiano, M.D., Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico.

“…an extraordinary expose of the powers and events that are exacting a heavy toll on us, the people”. – Nexus New Times Magazine, New South Wales, Australia

“…your book ties more things together than any other I’ve come across… I’ve got a collection of about 300 conspiracy related books… You’ve gotten to the heart of the matter.” – Steve Dudley, American Airlines pilot

“Written with an activist’s urgency, Big Oil pulls together a story that is as complex as it is crucial for contemporary world citizens to understand. At the very least, the story Henderson tells should give pause to anyone who believes the mainstream’s simplistic story of how terror came to characterize our time. Big Oil is designed to motivate understanding and action.” –Dr. Bill Chaloupka, Chair, Political Science Department, Colorado State University

“I really have to recommend this important work”. – Len Osanic, Blackop Radio, Vancouver, BC, Canada

“This is an important work. The world needs to know what is behind the Bush Regime. Dean has done an amazingly thorough job. He pulls together an impressive array of material from primary and secondary sources to tell a disturbing story that all Americans should read, learn from, and act upon.” – Jennifer Van Bergen, author of In the Absence of Democracy: The Bush Plan for America

Big Oil… shines a giant spotlight on a centuries-old cabal of global oligarchs, whose hegemony over the global economy is based on control of the planet’s three most valuable commodities: oil, guns and drugs – combined with ownership of the world’s central banks.

This Money Power that secretively rules the world has orchestrated a string of conspiracies from Pearl Harbor to the Kennedy Assassination to 911 to further their agenda. Follow the trail of dirty money up the food chain and discover the interbred Eight Families who – from their City of London base – control the Four Horsemen of both Banking & Oil, the global drug trade and the permanent war economy.

August 10, 2013 — Dean Henderson

(Part three of a five-part series excerpted from Chapter 19: The Eight Families:Big Oil & Their Bankers…)

According to former British intelligence agent John Coleman’s book, The Committee of 300, the Rothschilds exert political control through the secretive Business Roundtable, which they created in 1909 with the help of Lord Alfred Milner and South African industrialist Cecil Rhodes. The Rhodes Scholarship is granted by Oxford University, while oil industry propagandist Cambridge Energy Research Associates operates out of the Rhodes-supported Cambridge University.Read the rest of this entry »
