Red Cross Misuse Quake Monies To Buy Land, Build a Hotel Like Clinton-Bush Fund by Ezili Dantò

There are over 800,000 earthquake victims still homeless or reshuffled, evicted out of the tents and tarps, 526,000 sick from UN-cholera, 7,000 dead from cholera, there's no shelter for the majority poor in Site Soley, no clean water for the suffering public.

But, the Red Cross uses $10.5 million in quake money to buy land in Haiti, now proposes to build a hotel like Clinton/Bush fund. Not in providing clean water infrastructure and sanitation. No. The Red Cross is considering building a hotel and conference center.

"The hope is that profits could sustain the work of Haiti's local Red Cross in the coming years, the head of the international group's Haitian delegation said Monday." (Red Cross Weighs Decision to Build Hotel in Haiti, AP, http://nyti.ms/HghcYO)

Now this the organization that is first in line to beg for "crisis" monies with each new crisis in Haiti and NEVER spends monies from one crisis for another. Keeping the storm monies. Collecting new monies for the earthquake and holding it in the bank, they said for "reconstruction" for Haiti. Providing hotels to foreigners apparently is reconstruction for Haitians.

Instead of building housing for the earthquake victims or the people in Site Soley who are living in filth primarily because the US promised jobs in the 80s that never were sustainable;

Instead of USAID making amends for slaughtering the peasant's livestock, killing 1.3 million indigenous Haiti pigs on a with-hunt to force the peasants into the Port au Prince capital to work at their non-jobs;

Instead of Bill Clinton's apology for destroying centuries of rural livelihood in Haiti with dumped Arkansas rice, as well as dumping US infertile seeds that depleted the land being made meaningful with new shelter and housing and reparations in the form of real investment in sustainable agriculture, the Clintons - one leading USAID, one leading the UN mission in Haiti - are building hotels in Port au Prince and in the North of Haiti.

A Korean factory is empty up in the North, but the Clintons are spending earthquake monies to build 5000 new homes for the anticipated factory workers.

I say "anticipated" because responsible Haitians know the shelters up North won't be for Haitians to live in.

The housing up North as well as the University the US just helped build in Limonade in the North (as opposed to using earthquake relief monies where the earthquake happened and repair the University of Haiti in Port au Prince) are, in fact, for the foreigners who need housing for their enterprises up North including the mining and oil drilling and deep water ports their stealing.

Recall there is five times more violence in the Dominican Republic than in Haiti. But the University up North is being uhmm "safeguarded" by the Dominican military. The Dominicans wish a piece of the pie if the Bankers and corporate oligarchy want their military arm to put down any Haiti resistance.

But you know, the propaganda is that they are on Haiti territory - them, Clinton, Farmer, the 37,000 to 42,000 NGOs to "heal" and "protect" Haitians.

Healing Haitians and providing jobs and education are the reasons these evil abominations, blan colon, always give to idiot and cowardly Haitians who are into denial.

So under the rubric of healing, protecting, providing relief, jobs and education, the colonial enterprise against Haiti marches forward.

There's no shelter, no clean water, no sanitation but blan colon has lots of idiot Haiti "technocrats" put up front to manage the peasant and patriot's resistance against the expansion of their retarded selves onto Haitian territory.

Meanwhile, pick up the mainstream news reporting on Haiti and it's filled with the propaganda that the Haiti government is "ordering" the ex-soldiers to clear out of the old bases they've taken over. Or, they are running some tripe about Gerald Latortue/Jeb Bush's Miami about to indict President Aristide on corruption charges. Talk about projection!

None in the mainstream media is doing any real reporting work, investigating the corruption of Gerarld Latortue, the Bush administration for ousting a democratically elected President, the NGOs failures in Haiti, the UN's continued denial of liability even though Bill Clinton admits they brought cholera. Not one talks about the UN hiding behind immunity to commit crimes with impunity. (Bill Clinton admits UN brought cholera, Haiti raped again)

Oh no, they're back to the witch-hunt against Aristide to further silence and terrorize Haiti's majority, keeping the NGOS, the UN and the pharmaceutical companies flush on Haiti's poverty and agony. No democracy, no justice. Just vampires gorging themselves on Haiti blood, bodies and lands.

When the Washington Post, Miami Herald, ABC news, CNN or AP are not telling us about their puppet president's efforts (who, by the way, has no government since the Prime Minister resigned) to clear the ex-soldiers out of their old bases is the biggest "news" on Haiti today, they're running op-eds on how the US and UN don't want Martelly to revive the old Haitian army. (Haiti government orders former soldiers to clear old bases -http://wapo.st/GCVL0s or http://abcn.ws/GDFk6b )

Tell me please no one believes this crock! This CIA-made pretense.

Remember the US and US slaughters in Site Soley, Bel Air, Solino, Martissant, Gran Ravine? Recall the execution of ex-soldier Ravix by the US forces hidden behind UN guns? Come on folks? There are over 13,000 foreign soldiers on Haitian lands and their puppet government can't get some rag-tag ex-soldiers and their new guns out of old bases? (Haiti: The Handwriting on the Wall for Martelly and the US http://bit.ly/GHlsRH )

Truly, the embedded media is a travesty shoveling manure into the brains of the unsuspecting reader. All the while the quake monies are used to make Haiti a tourist haven, Haiti women, boys and girls are the bodies they invade, not just our lands are being raped.

And so it is with this latest Red Cross straight up STEALING from the earthquake victims. (Red Cross Weighs Decision to Build Hotel in Haiti - http://nyti.ms/HghcYO )

Ezili's HLLN urges the Haitian government, if you politicos have any, any shred of dignity left, void the SOFA agreement and deport all NGOs from Haiti NOW!!!!

SAI on the Occupy Movement

As I have been following the development of the Occupy movement, I've experienced much internal struggle in terms of what it means to support it, to support its intent, to support those physically protesting and physically present at any global march/rally, to support its tactics, to support its claims...to support. I am therefore writing this brief statement not as an absolute position on the matter, but more as an invitation for dialogue regarding reasons for such inner struggle, and an invitation to discuss alternatives to the current Occupying "tactics" (for lack of a better word).

When I first heard of the Occupy Wall Street movement around the second half of September 2011, I was excited to learn that there was this "enough is enough" vibe brewing in NYC which seemed to have the potential to grow into a massive protest against the inequities of wealth which are extremely obvious to most of those who are now labeled the 99%. Then, very rapidly, the news of Occupy movement events throughout the United States and other nations began to reach me in a massive way, which made me feel that this was not a small event or a march or a rally, but perhaps the beginning of a global revolution which is certainly necessary. And this may in fact be just that, a necessary revolution.

Now, being from South America and having been born and raised there in the 70's, I am not new to massive protests, to tear gas, to inequities of wealth, to corrupt law enforcement, to laws that benefit the 1% who control everything; therefore there was nothing that shocked me about the response from police throughout global cities in regards to this movent...nothing that scared me or that I did not expect (as I'm sure many people who were raised elsewhere have felt). I remember clearly being a young boy and waiting for my teenage brothers to come home for a protes, from which they would eventually show up with a broken arm or nose, with red-shut eyes from tear gas, and wet from high pressure hoses used on them by mini armored tanks.

These were common events growing up, and events which continue to this day. Not too long ago, a huge portion of the my country's capital, Quito, took to the streets and successfully outed the then president, pursuing his exit all the way to the main international airport which was completely taken over by the protesters.

But that's Ecuador, and there are huge huge differences between Ecuador and the United States (which I will use as example, simply because I am more informed about its infracstructure than England's or France's per say). The situation here in the U.S. is completely different and the power of law enforcement and military force is exponentially, overwhelmingly more massive than anywhere on the planet. This difference makes it so that an attempt to pursue a movement/protest through violent means may not be the best idea, as gangsta as some people may feel they are, or as numerous as they may feel the population of protesters is. So what we are left with, fortunately in many ways, is a non-violent Occupy movement that invites all people from all ages, races, ethnicities, economic classes, and genders to participate in peaceful ways. Because there have been many decades of brainwashing going on which have made the population here (the U.S.) believe in voting, in democracy, in freedom of this and that, in constitutional rights, in human rights for that matter....there is an air of surprise among protesters when they get beaten, pepper sprayed, gassed, abducted, (soon tortured), which quite frankly baffles me. What baffles me most is that people protesting corruption among law enforcement somehow expect law enforcement not the be corrup/brutal/violent during a protest (I thought you already knew that and that's why you were protesting); that people who are protesting against non-negotiating stinking rich evil greedy forces are expecting those forces not to retaliate.....SUP WITH THAT!!!

SO, here's an alternative way of looking at the Occupy movement, perhaps through the eyes of the 1% who control everything (which is why there's protest to begin with). The economy is greased by the working bees who call themselves the 99%. These working bees need to be rounded up and held captive because if they will not grease the economy while living in this blissful illusion of democracy through ultra consumerism, then they will grease the economy from a detention center. We therefore need to get as many people into the main cities, and kill their movement by depriving them of their immediate needs (water and food), and then we need to place them in these detention centers. First, however, we need to pass laws or to support continuity of already existing laws which allow us to grab these working bees right off the streets and detain them indefinitely. To enforce that, we need to bring back some of the troops from Iraq and from any corner of the planet where we have troops at (literally everywhere on the planet), and we need to employ them....what else would the troops do when they are brought back, other than become law enforcement? (and this is not even mentioning mercenary groups like Blackwater, Xe, Triple Canopy which we saw show their face during Katrina, that's another subject for another blog post, for another scenario).

With this scenario in mind, if you really think about it, the Occupy movement, combined with the idefinite detention laws that have existed since the 80's where FEMA just takes over, like Rex84, or the new National Defense Authorization Act, and the "bringing back the troops" reality, this somewhat "conspiracy theory" does not seem that far fetched. People actually voluntarily rounding themselves up in places where they have absolutely NO control over their food and water sources does not seem like the best idea when dealing with those who have already been identified at the ruthless greedy rich powerful fat cats with full control of all resources. Imagine being in Manhattan along with fellow protesters, by the thousands, and water is shut down, and all transportation is shut down, and supermarkets, bodegas, stores are not restocked with food because all streets coming into the city have been blocked...LEGALLY!!!! whatever that means, particularly when those making up these laws are the ones who control the road blocks....and those employed to control the roadblocks are members of "bring back the troops" unemployed work force, or private mercenary companies...then what?

So, although I am not criticizing or diminishing the efforts/intentions/tactics of the Occupy movement as it exists right now, I would offer the possibility for the scenario which seems to be brewing and ideally implemented by the "law makers" and the military complex and the prison system/detention complex (state, federal AND PRIVATE) which I just mentioned. With this, I would also offer the alternative to the occupy movement, which would be to actually disoccupy the big cities and start to migrate away from these huge economic machines that we are greasing simply by living and working there. This may quite possibly result in less investment in products sold in big cities, less poor underpaid working bees supporting the wealthy who happen to live in these big cities, greater access to rural land which can expand self suffieciency and means to obtain water and food that is not being shipped from elsewhere by those who control everything including the roads in which these products are being transported, and a better fighting chance against being rounded up and caged up (which we are now making it easy to do).

Think about it, think about where you are and where the sources of water exist, where is the food grown, and entertain the idea of what would happen if you can move there. For those here in the state of NY, where I'm at, there's the Catskills, the Adirondaks, both which have enough water and food resources to last the entire population of NY and many more peripheral states for YEARS!

I will stop there and see what you think. Just a thought.

What About What They Dont Want You To Remember....

I will never forget about the 3,000 innocent people that died unnecessarily on 9/11. I will never forget because not only did innocent PEOPLE die in the Twin Towers, this tragedy was then exploited by every media source to justify the killing of well over 100,000 innocent women and children in foreign lands. No, I do not feel more of an affinity for our 3000 because INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT PEOPLE to me. With the US logging in at 737 military bases worldwide, I hardly think of us as the victims.

The US government and appointed officials who have a vested interest in gaining capital from their war corporations have gone out of their way to get the US public to focus on the 3000 innocent people who died. Actions speak louder than words as the death toll for the first responders on 9/11 now exceeds 1000. Yes, 1/3 of the people who died in those buildings are heroes who helped save thousands and are dying right now. You would figure that these heroes would be first on the list for medical procedures and would get front row seating to memorial ceremonies but they get neither. They are denied adequate health care and are not even invited to the memorial ceremonies. You would figure that if the government and the media really cared about human life the way they are selling, the first responders would be on the TOP of every list as they are dying, literally as I write this.

The truth is they do not care.

Theres millions upon millions of dollars poured into exploiting the US publics emotions to secure a strong support for war which creates more capital (for them of course). Buzz words are all you see: "attacks", "remember","muslim terrorist". You can almost feel the pressure.

If there was any real humanity, they would also mention the 6,500 troops, mostly YOUNG men and women who have been killed so that US war corporations can keep their government contract money flowing. If they really cared about US citizens, they would ensure adequate mental care for the returning vets who are committing suicide in record numbers and worse than that, conspiring to murder more innocent US CHILDREN as we saw a bomb plot foiled at a high school which was planned by a Naval officer in my local city a week ago.

If you think that we are engaged in a war on terrorism and torture gets us leads on plots, then why didnt they take Bin Laden in and waterboard him for more answers for this "fight"? For the patriots who stand by our military choices and torture, why then do you think Usama was not pressed for more Al Qaeda answers being a sole "conspirator"?

On this day, they dont want you to remember any of that. They hope to rally a nation into joining hands in sending our children to die, killing other peoples children in other countries so that a select few can continue their wealth and bloodline.

I DO NOT write this to downplay the death of innocents in the Twin Towers, I write this to be consistent in our declaration of the importance of human life. I do not hate this country, I expect more of it. I feel I personally know some of the strongest and smartest individuals in US history. We all need to OPEN OUR EYES

How America Will Collapse (by 2025)
Four Scenarios That Could Spell the End of the United States As We Know It -- In the Very Near Future
By Alfred McCoy

A soft landing for America 40 years from now? Don’t bet on it. The demise of the United States as the global superpower could come far more quickly than anyone imagines. If Washington is dreaming of 2040 or 2050 as the end of the American Century, a more realistic assessment of domestic and global trends suggests that in 2025, just 15 years from now, it could all be over except for the shouting.

Despite the aura of omnipotence most empires project, a look at their history should remind us that they are fragile organisms. So delicate is their ecology of power that, when things start to go truly bad, empires regularly unravel with unholy speed: just a year for Portugal, two years for the Soviet Union, eight years for France, 11 years for the Ottomans, 17 years for Great Britain, and, in all likelihood, 22 years for the United States, counting from the crucial year 2003.
Future historians are likely to identify the Bush administration’s rash invasion of Iraq in that year as the start of America's downfall. However, instead of the bloodshed that marked the end of so many past empires, with cities burning and civilians slaughtered, this twenty-first century imperial collapse could come relatively quietly through the invisible tendrils of economic collapse or cyberwarfare.

But have no doubt: when Washington's global dominion finally ends, there will be painful daily reminders of what such a loss of power means for Americans in every walk of life. As a half-dozen European nations have discovered, imperial decline tends to have a remarkably demoralizing impact on a society, regularly bringing at least a generation of economic privation. As the economy cools, political temperatures rise, often sparking serious domestic unrest.

Available economic, educational, and military data indicate that, when it comes to U.S. global power, negative trends will aggregate rapidly by 2020 and are likely to reach a critical mass no later than 2030. The American Century, proclaimed so triumphantly at the start of World War II, will be tattered and fading by 2025, its eighth decade, and could be history by 2030.

Significantly, in 2008, the U.S. National Intelligence Council admitted for the first time that America's global power was indeed on a declining trajectory. In one of its periodic futuristic reports, Global Trends 2025, the Council cited "the transfer of global wealth and economic power now under way, roughly from West to East" and "without precedent in modern history," as the primary factor in the decline of the "United States' relative strength even in the military realm." Like many in Washington, however, the Council’s analysts anticipated a very long, very soft landing for American global preeminence, and harbored the hope that somehow the U.S. would long "retain unique military capabilitie to project military power globally" for decades to come.

No such luck. Under current projections, the United States will find itself in second place behind China (already the world's second largest economy) in economic output around 2026, and behind India by 2050. Similarly, Chinese innovation is on a trajectory toward world leadership in applied science and military technology sometime between 2020 and 2030, just as America's current supply of brilliant scientists and engineers retires, without adequate replacement by an ill-educated younger generation.

By 2020, according to current plans, the Pentagon will throw a military Hail Mary pass for a dying empire. It will launch a lethal triple canopy of advanced aerospace robotics that represents Washington's last best hope of retaining global power despite its waning economic influence. By that year, however, China's global network of communications satellites, backed by the world's most powerful supercomputers, will also be fully operational, providing Beijing with an independent platform for the weaponization of space and a powerful communications system for missile- or cyber-strikes into every quadrant of the globe.

Wrapped in imperial hubris, like Whitehall or Quai d'Orsay before it, the White House still seems to imagine that American decline will be gradual, gentle, and partial. In his State of the Union address last January, President Obama offered the reassurance that "I do not accept second place for the United States of America." A few days later, Vice President Biden ridiculed the very idea that "we are destined to fulfill [historian Paul] Kennedy's prophecy that we are going to be a great nation that has failed because we lost control of our economy and overextended." Similarly, writing in the November issue of the establishment journal Foreign Affairs, neo-liberal foreign policy guru Joseph Nye waved away talk of China's economic and military rise, dismissing "misleading metaphors of organic decline" and denying that any deterioration in U.S. global power was underway.

Ordinary Americans, watching their jobs head overseas, have a more realistic view than their cosseted leaders. An opinion poll in August 2010 found that 65 percent of Americans believed the country was now "in a state of decline." Already, Australia and Turkey, traditional U.S. military allies, are using their American-manufactured weapons for joint air and naval maneuvers with China. Already, America's closest economic partners are backing away from Washington's opposition to China's rigged currency rates. As the president flew back from his Asian tour last month, a gloomy New York Times headline summed the moment up this way: "Obama's Economic View Is Rejected on World Stage, China, Britain and Germany Challenge U.S., Trade Talks With Seoul Fail, Too."

Viewed historically, the question is not whether the United States will lose its unchallenged global power, but just how precipitous and wrenching the decline will be. In place of Washington's wishful thinking, let’s use the National Intelligence Council's own futuristic methodology to suggest four realistic scenarios for how, whether with a bang or a whimper, U.S. global power could reach its end in the 2020s (along with four accompanying assessments of just where we are today). The future scenarios include: economic decline, oil shock, military misadventure, and World War III. While these are hardly the only possibilities when it comes to American decline or even collapse, they offer a window into an onrushing future.

Economic Decline: Present Situation

Today, three main threats exist to America’s dominant position in the global economy: loss of economic clout thanks to a shrinking share of world trade, the decline of American technological innovation, and the end of the dollar's privileged status as the global reserve currency.

By 2008, the United States had already fallen to number three in global merchandise exports, with just 11 percent of them compared to 12 percent for China and 16 percent for the European Union. There is no reason to believe that this trend will reverse itself.

Similarly, American leadership in technological innovation is on the wane. In 2008, the U.S. was still number two behind Japan in worldwide patent applications with 232,000, but China was closing fast at 195,000, thanks to a blistering 400 percent increase since 2000. A harbinger of further decline: in 2009 the U.S. hit rock bottom in ranking among the 40 nations surveyed by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation when it came to "change" in "global innovation-based competitiveness" during the previous decade. Adding substance to these statistics, in October China's Defense Ministry unveiled the world's fastest supercomputer, the Tianhe-1A, so powerful, said one U.S. expert, that it "blows away the existing No. 1 machine" in America.

Add to this clear evidence that the U.S. education system, that source of future scientists and innovators, has been falling behind its competitors. After leading the world for decades in 25- to 34-year-olds with university degrees, the country sank to 12th place in 2010. The World Economic Forum ranked the United States at a mediocre 52nd among 139 nations in the quality of its university math and science instruction in 2010. Nearly half of all graduate students in the sciences in the U.S. are now foreigners, most of whom will be heading home, not staying here as once would have happened. By 2025, in other words, the United States is likely to face a critical shortage of talented scientists.

Such negative trends are encouraging increasingly sharp criticism of the dollar's role as the world’s reserve currency. "Other countries are no longer willing to buy into the idea that the U.S. knows best on economic policy," observed Kenneth S. Rogoff, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. In mid-2009, with the world's central banks holding an astronomical $4 trillion in U.S. Treasury notes, Russian president Dimitri Medvedev insisted that it was time to end "the artificially maintained unipolar system" based on "one formerly strong reserve currency."

Simultaneously, China's central bank governor suggested that the future might lie with a global reserve currency "disconnected from individual nations" (that is, the U.S. dollar). Take these as signposts of a world to come, and of a possible attempt, as economist Michael Hudson has argued, "to hasten the bankruptcy of the U.S. financial-military world order."

Economic Decline: Scenario 2020

After years of swelling deficits fed by incessant warfare in distant lands, in 2020, as long expected, the U.S. dollar finally loses its special status as the world's reserve currency. Suddenly, the cost of imports soars. Unable to pay for swelling deficits by selling now-devalued Treasury notes abroad, Washington is finally forced to slash its bloated military budget. Under pressure at home and abroad, Washington slowly pulls U.S. forces back from hundreds of overseas bases to a continental perimeter. By now, however, it is far too late.

Faced with a fading superpower incapable of paying the bills, China, India, Iran, Russia, and other powers, great and regional, provocatively challenge U.S. dominion over the oceans, space, and cyberspace. Meanwhile, amid soaring prices, ever-rising unemployment, and a continuing decline in real wages, domestic divisions widen into violent clashes and divisive debates, often over remarkably irrelevant issues. Riding a political tide of disillusionment and despair, a far-right patriot captures the presidency with thundering rhetoric, demanding respect for American authority and threatening military retaliation or economic reprisal. The world pays next to no attention as the American Century ends in silence.

Oil Shock: Present Situation

One casualty of America's waning economic power has been its lock on global oil supplies. Speeding by America's gas-guzzling economy in the passing lane, China became the world's number one energy consumer this summer, a position the U.S. had held for over a century. Energy specialist Michael Klare has argued that this change means China will "set the pace in shaping our global future."

By 2025, Iran and Russia will control almost half of the world's natural gas supply, which will potentially give them enormous leverage over energy-starved Europe. Add petroleum reserves to the mix and, as the National Intelligence Council has warned, in just 15 years two countries, Russia and Iran, could "emerge as energy kingpins."

Despite remarkable ingenuity, the major oil powers are now draining the big basins of petroleum reserves that are amenable to easy, cheap extraction. The real lesson of the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico was not BP's sloppy safety standards, but the simple fact everyone saw on "spillcam": one of the corporate energy giants had little choice but to search for what Klare calls "tough oil" miles beneath the surface of the ocean to keep its profits up.

Compounding the problem, the Chinese and Indians have suddenly become far heavier energy consumers. Even if fossil fuel supplies were to remain constant (which they won’t), demand, and so costs, are almost certain to rise and sharply at that. Other developed nations are meeting this threat aggressively by plunging into experimental programs to develop alternative energy sources. The United States has taken a different path, doing far too little to develop alternative sources while, in the last three decades, doubling its dependence on foreign oil imports. Between 1973 and 2007, oil imports have risen from 36 percent of energy consumed in the U.S. to 66 percent.

Oil Shock: Scenario 2025

The United States remains so dependent upon foreign oil that a few adverse developments in the global energy market in 2025 spark an oil shock. By comparison, it makes the 1973 oil shock (when prices quadrupled in just months) look like the proverbial molehill. Angered at the dollar's plummeting value, OPEC oil ministers, meeting in Riyadh, demand future energy payments in a "basket" of Yen, Yuan, and Euros. That only hikes the cost of U.S. oil imports further. At the same moment, while signing a new series of long-term delivery contracts with China, the Saudis stabilize their own foreign exchange reserves by switching to the Yuan. Meanwhile, China pours countless billions into building a massive trans-Asia pipeline and funding Iran's exploitation of the world largest percent natural gas field at South Pars in the Persian Gulf.

Concerned that the U.S. Navy might no longer be able to protect the oil tankers traveling from the Persian Gulf to fuel East Asia, a coalition of Tehran, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi form an unexpected new Gulf alliance and affirm that China's new fleet of swift aircraft carriers will henceforth patrol the Persian Gulf from a base on the Gulf of Oman. Under heavy economic pressure, London agrees to cancel the U.S. lease on its Indian Ocean island base of Diego Garcia, while Canberra, pressured by the Chinese, informs Washington that the Seventh Fleet is no longer welcome to use Fremantle as a homeport, effectively evicting the U.S. Navy from the Indian Ocean.

With just a few strokes of the pen and some terse announcements, the "Carter Doctrine," by which U.S. military power was to eternally protect the Persian Gulf, is laid to rest in 2025. All the elements that long assured the United States limitless supplies of low-cost oil from that region logistics, exchange rates, and naval power evaporate. At this point, the U.S. can still cover only an insignificant 12 percent of its energy needs from its nascent alternative energy industry, and remains dependent on imported oil for half of its energy consumption.

The oil shock that follows hits the country like a hurricane, sending prices to startling heights, making travel a staggeringly expensive proposition, putting real wages (which had long been declining) into freefall, and rendering non-competitive whatever American exports remained. With thermostats dropping, gas prices climbing through the roof, and dollars flowing overseas in return for costly oil, the American economy is paralyzed. With long-fraying alliances at an end and fiscal pressures mounting, U.S. military forces finally begin a staged withdrawal from their overseas bases.

Within a few years, the U.S. is functionally bankrupt and the clock is ticking toward midnight on the American Century.

Military Misadventure: Present Situation

Counterintuitively, as their power wanes, empires often plunge into ill-advised military misadventures. This phenomenon is known among historians of empire as "micro-militarism" and seems to involve psychologically compensatory efforts to salve the sting of retreat or defeat by occupying new territories, however briefly and catastrophically. These operations, irrational even from an imperial point of view, often yield hemorrhaging expenditures or humiliating defeats that only accelerate the loss of power.

Embattled empires through the ages suffer an arrogance that drives them to plunge ever deeper into military misadventures until defeat becomes debacle. In 413 BCE, a weakened Athens sent 200 ships to be slaughtered in Sicily. In 1921, a dying imperial Spain dispatched 20,000 soldiers to be massacred by Berber guerrillas in Morocco. In 1956, a fading British Empire destroyed its prestige by attacking Suez. And in 2001 and 2003, the U.S. occupied Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. With the hubris that marks empires over the millennia, Washington has increased its troops in Afghanistan to 100,000, expanded the war into Pakistan, and extended its commitment to 2014 and beyond, courting disasters large and small in this guerilla-infested, nuclear-armed graveyard of empires.

Military Misadventure: Scenario 2014

So irrational, so unpredictable is "micro-militarism" that seemingly fanciful scenarios are soon outdone by actual events. With the U.S. military stretched thin from Somalia to the Philippines and tensions rising in Israel, Iran, and Korea, possible combinations for a disastrous military crisis abroad are multifold.

It’s mid-summer 2014 and a drawn-down U.S. garrison in embattled Kandahar in southern Afghanistan is suddenly, unexpectedly overrun by Taliban guerrillas, while U.S. aircraft are grounded by a blinding sandstorm. Heavy loses are taken and in retaliation, an embarrassed American war commander looses B-1 bombers and F-16 fighters to demolish whole neighborhoods of the city that are believed to be under Taliban control, while AC-130U "Spooky" gunships rake the rubble with devastating cannon fire.

Soon, mullahs are preaching jihad from mosques throughout the region, and Afghan Army units, long trained by American forces to turn the tide of the war, begin to desert en masse. Taliban fighters then launch a series of remarkably sophisticated strikes aimed at U.S. garrisons across the country, sending American casualties soaring. In scenes reminiscent of Saigon in 1975, U.S. helicopters rescue American soldiers and civilians from rooftops in Kabul and Kandahar.

Meanwhile, angry at the endless, decades-long stalemate over Palestine, OPEC’s leaders impose a new oil embargo on the U.S. to protest its backing of Israel as well as the killing of untold numbers of Muslim civilians in its ongoing wars across the Greater Middle East. With gas prices soaring and refineries running dry, Washington makes its move, sending in Special Operations forces to seize oil ports in the Persian Gulf. This, in turn, sparks a rash of suicide attacks and the sabotage of pipelines and oil wells. As black clouds billow skyward and diplomats rise at the U.N. to bitterly denounce American actions, commentators worldwide reach back into history to brand this "America's Suez," a telling reference to the 1956 debacle that marked the end of the British Empire.

World War III: Present Situation

In the summer of 2010, military tensions between the U.S. and China began to rise in the western Pacific, once considered an American "lake." Even a year earlier no one would have predicted such a development. As Washington played upon its alliance with London to appropriate much of Britain's global power after World War II, so China is now using the profits from its export trade with the U.S. to fund what is likely to become a military challenge to American dominion over the waterways of Asia and the Pacific.

With its growing resources, Beijing is claiming a vast maritime arc from Korea to Indonesia long dominated by the U.S. Navy. In August, after Washington expressed a "national interest" in the South China Sea and conducted naval exercises there to reinforce that claim, Beijing's official Global Times responded angrily, saying, "The U.S.-China wrestling match over the South China Sea issue has raised the stakes in deciding who the real future ruler of the planet will be."

Amid growing tensions, the Pentagon reported that Beijing now holds "the capability to attack… [U.S.] aircraft carriers in the western Pacific Ocean" and target "nuclear forces throughou the continental United States." By developing "offensive nuclear, space, and cyber warfare capabilities," China seems determined to vie for dominance of what the Pentagon calls "the information spectrum in all dimensions of the modern battlespace." With ongoing development of the powerful Long March V booster rocket, as well as the launch of two satellites in January 2010 and another in July, for a total of five, Beijing signaled that the country was making rapid strides toward an "independent" network of 35 satellites for global positioning, communications, and reconnaissance capabilities by 2020.

To check China and extend its military position globally, Washington is intent on building a new digital network of air and space robotics, advanced cyberwarfare capabilities, and electronic surveillance. Military planners expect this integrated system to envelop the Earth in a cyber-grid capable of blinding entire armies on the battlefield or taking out a single terrorist in field or favela. By 2020, if all goes according to plan, the Pentagon will launch a three-tiered shield of space drones -- reaching from stratosphere to exosphere, armed with agile missiles, linked by a resilient modular satellite system, and operated through total telescopic surveillance.

Last April, the Pentagon made history. It extended drone operations into the exosphere by quietly launching the X-37B unmanned space shuttle into a low orbit 255 miles above the planet. The X-37B is the first in a new generation of unmanned vehicles that will mark the full weaponization of space, creating an arena for future warfare unlike anything that has gone before.

World War III: Scenario 2025

The technology of space and cyberwarfare is so new and untested that even the most outlandish scenarios may soon be superseded by a reality still hard to conceive. If we simply employ the sort of scenarios that the Air Force itself used in its 2009 Future Capabilities Game, however, we can gain "a better understanding of how air, space and cyberspace overlap in warfare," and so begin to imagine how the next world war might actually be fought.

It’s 11:59 p.m. on Thanksgiving Thursday in 2025. While cyber-shoppers pound the portals of Best Buy for deep discounts on the latest home electronics from China, U.S. Air Force technicians at the Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) on Maui choke on their coffee as their panoramic screens suddenly blip to black. Thousands of miles away at the U.S. CyberCommand's operations center in Texas, cyberwarriors soon detect malicious binaries that, though fired anonymously, show the distinctive digital fingerprints of China's People's Liberation Army.

The first overt strike is one nobody predicted. Chinese "malware" seizes control of the robotics aboard an unmanned solar-powered U.S. "Vulture" drone as it flies at 70,000 feet over the Tsushima Strait between Korea and Japan. It suddenly fires all the rocket pods beneath its enormous 400-foot wingspan, sending dozens of lethal missiles plunging harmlessly into the Yellow Sea, effectively disarming this formidable weapon.

Determined to fight fire with fire, the White House authorizes a retaliatory strike. Confident that its F-6 "Fractionated, Free-Flying" satellite system is impenetrable, Air Force commanders in California transmit robotic codes to the flotilla of X-37B space drones orbiting 250 miles above the Earth, ordering them to launch their "Triple Terminator" missiles at China's 35 satellites. Zero response. In near panic, the Air Force launches its Falcon Hypersonic Cruise Vehicle into an arc 100 miles above the Pacific Ocean and then, just 20 minutes later, sends the computer codes to fire missiles at seven Chinese satellites in nearby orbits. The launch codes are suddenly inoperative.

As the Chinese virus spreads uncontrollably through the F-6 satellite architecture, while those second-rate U.S. supercomputers fail to crack the malware's devilishly complex code, GPS signals crucial to the navigation of U.S. ships and aircraft worldwide are compromised. Carrier fleets begin steaming in circles in the mid-Pacific. Fighter squadrons are grounded. Reaper drones fly aimlessly toward the horizon, crashing when their fuel is exhausted. Suddenly, the United States loses what the U.S. Air Force has long called "the ultimate high ground": space. Within hours, the military power that had dominated the globe for nearly a century has been defeated in World War III without a single human casualty.

A New World Order?

Even if future events prove duller than these four scenarios suggest, every significant trend points toward a far more striking decline in American global power by 2025 than anything Washington now seems to be envisioning.
As allies worldwide begin to realign their policies to take cognizance of rising Asian powers, the cost of maintaining 800 or more overseas military bases will simply become unsustainable, finally forcing a staged withdrawal on a still-unwilling Washington. With both the U.S. and China in a race to weaponize space and cyberspace, tensions between the two powers are bound to rise, making military conflict by 2025 at least feasible, if hardly guaranteed.

Complicating matters even more, the economic, military, and technological trends outlined above will not operate in tidy isolation. As happened to European empires after World War II, such negative forces will undoubtedly prove synergistic. They will combine in thoroughly unexpected ways, create crises for which Americans are remarkably unprepared, and threaten to spin the economy into a sudden downward spiral, consigning this country to a generation or more of economic misery.

As U.S. power recedes, the past offers a spectrum of possibilities for a future world order. At one end of this spectrum, the rise of a new global superpower, however unlikely, cannot be ruled out. Yet both China and Russia evince self-referential cultures, recondite non-roman scripts, regional defense strategies, and underdeveloped legal systems, denying them key instruments for global dominion. At the moment then, no single superpower seems to be on the horizon likely to succeed the U.S.

In a dark, dystopian version of our global future, a coalition of transnational corporations, multilateral forces like NATO, and an international financial elite could conceivably forge a single, possibly unstable, supra-national nexus that would make it no longer meaningful to speak of national empires at all. While denationalized corporations and multinational elites would assumedly rule such a world from secure urban enclaves, the multitudes would be relegated to urban and rural wastelands.

In "Planet of Slums," Mike Davis offers at least a partial vision of such a world from the bottom up. He argues that the billion people already packed into fetid favela-style slums worldwide (rising to two billion by 2030) will make "the 'feral, failed cities' of the Third World… the distinctive battlespace of the twenty-first century." As darkness settles over some future super-favela, "the empire can deploy Orwellian technologies of repression" as "hornet-like helicopter gun-ships stalk enigmatic enemies in the narrow streets of the slum districts… Every morning the slums reply with suicide bombers and eloquent explosions."

At a midpoint on the spectrum of possible futures, a new global oligopoly might emerge between 2020 and 2040, with rising powers China, Russia, India, and Brazil collaborating with receding powers like Britain, Germany, Japan, and the United States to enforce an ad hoc global dominion, akin to the loose alliance of European empires that ruled half of humanity circa 1900.

Another possibility: the rise of regional hegemons in a return to something reminiscent of the international system that operated before modern empires took shape. In this neo-Westphalian world order, with its endless vistas of micro-violence and unchecked exploitation, each hegemon would dominate its immediate region -- Brasilia in South America, Washington in North America, Pretoria in southern Africa, and so on. Space, cyberspace, and the maritime deeps, removed from the control of the former planetary "policeman," the United States, might even become a new global commons, controlled through an expanded U.N. Security Council or some ad hoc body.

All of these scenarios extrapolate existing trends into the future on the assumption that Americans, blinded by the arrogance of decades of historically unparalleled power, cannot or will not take steps to manage the unchecked erosion of their global position.

If America's decline is in fact on a 22-year trajectory from 2003 to 2025, then we have already frittered away most of the first decade of that decline with wars that distracted us from long-term problems and, like water tossed onto desert sands, wasted trillions of desperately needed dollars.

If only 15 years remain, the odds of frittering them all away still remain high. Congress and the president are now in gridlock; the American system is flooded with corporate money meant to jam up the works; and there is little suggestion that any issues of significance, including our wars, our bloated national security state, our starved education system, and our antiquated energy supplies, will be addressed with sufficient seriousness to assure the sort of soft landing that might maximize our country's role and prosperity in a changing world.

Europe's empires are gone and America's imperium is going. It seems increasingly doubtful that the United States will have anything like Britain's success in shaping a succeeding world order that protects its interests, preserves its prosperity, and bears the imprint of its best values.

Collateral Murder AmeriKKKAn Style

Collateral Murder

Overview

Update: On July 6, 2010, Private Bradley Manning, a 22 year old intelligence analyst with the United States Army in Baghdad, was charged with disclosing this video (after allegedly speaking to an unfaithful journalist). The whistleblower behind the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, has called Mr. Manning a 'hero'. He is currently imprisoned in Kuwait. The Apache crew and those behind the cover up depicted in the video have yet to be charged. To assist Private Manning, please see bradleymanning.org

5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff.

Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

The military did not reveal how the Reuters staff were killed, and stated that they did not know how the children were injured.

After demands by Reuters, the incident was investigated and the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own "Rules of Engagement".

Consequently, WikiLeaks has released the classified Rules of Engagement for 2006, 2007 and 2008, revealing these rules before, during, and after the killings.

WikiLeaks has released both the original 38 minutes video and a shorter version with an initial analysis. Subtitles have been added to both versions from the radio transmissions.

WikiLeaks obtained this video as well as supporting documents from a number of military whistleblowers. WikiLeaks goes to great lengths to verify the authenticity of the information it receives. We have analyzed the information about this incident from a variety of source material. We have spoken to witnesses and journalists directly involved in the incident.

WikiLeaks wants to ensure that all the leaked information it receives gets the attention it deserves. In this particular case, some of the people killed were journalists that were simply doing their jobs: putting their lives at risk in order to report on war. Iraq is a very dangerous place for journalists: from 2003- 2009, 139 journalists were killed while doing their work.

Enslaving the Free

V-Non Protesting For End the Fed

Many Americans attend their schools and are taught at a young age to pledge allegiance to the flag of their United nation and depending on where they were raised, they are taught that the possibilities are endless. They are shown via the media that they can become rich and famous, own many houses and make millions. This in fact is the American dream that working hard and pulling yourself up by your boot straps will guarantee rewards. Some children become obsessed with money and beginning seeing currency as freedom. The fact is the American dream was tarnished with racism, sexism, elitism, and classism. To the layman this is a pessimistic way to view it but the truth hurts. No one wants to tell these kids that there are greedy white men sitting on Wall Street waiting to take them for everything they have regardless of their ethnicity, and the point is not to kill or be killed but to understand and not perpetuate the cycle. No one wants to tell them that every dollar they have in their hands has debt attached to it. The wealthy do not care about dollars.

The Federal Reserve Bank is an institution that thrives on the citizen’s ignorance of it and the creation of debt. In this article we will look at how and why the some of the forefathers, though many corrupt themselves, wanted to be free of this age old practice of usury. We will also see power corrupts absolutely and how we, our children and our children’s children will be forever chained by these old families until we do something about it. The Federal Reserve is detrimental to any real freedom in this country. It allows the citizens to stay subservient, greedy, and irresponsible.

Since the early days of bartering and trading and mercantilism we as a species have needed a way to exchange goods and services to survive. People would use products and goods to trade for other products goods and services. If there was no services or goods to trade people could fall back on gold and other precious stones and metals to serve as currency. This currency had value of its own judged specifically on its scarcity and weight. Carrying around gold to trade was a tedious task and eventually this form of currency became impractical. The first “bankers” were just people who held a place for other people to store their gold. A person would keep their gold in this storage facility and in return they would get a voucher or a paper to “offset” debt. This paper or note represented portions of how much gold someone had. Bankers realized this could become a lucrative business. Not only could people store their money there in the bankers vault at a price, the bankers could let people borrow money that was just sitting around and charge them “interest”. Interest is a percentage of money based on the amount borrowed that would also be added to the total amount of the loan so that the bankers could make a cut. In some religions and also an established law for a time, this was thought of as a sin because it was seen as “usury”. Here is where we start our decline into the shady, cannibalistic practices of central banking.

A central banks job is to issue currency and control the economy through interest rates. It sounds simple enough and also innocent enough however the issue of this currency does not come for free. The currency created has an interest rate attached to it. Now, if a central bank is the only source of currency and has a complete monopoly on the creation of it, the money needed to pay the interest rate does not exist! This creates this never ending game of “musical chairs” where someone, or a lot of someone’s, will always end up with the short end of the stick simply because there is not enough money in circulation and there was never meant to be. If we go back to the old days of the first banking institutions we see another problem. These bankers realized they could not only loan out notes that represented the gold in their vaults, but they could loan out notes that represented gold that didn’t exist. This could greatly increase their revenues because they didn’t even have to have the actual amount of gold in their reserves but they could still make the percentage on it. The ratio of the notes issued to what was actually available in reserves is called a fractional reserve policy which is what we still use in the US today.

In 18th century Europe, central banks were the in full effect, and the American colonists were striving to gain their independence. The new Americans were establishing themselves and were developing their own means of currency. Their currency was interest free and was a slap in the face to the central banks in England because the new Americans couldn’t be exploited. King George III outlawed this currency which would force the colonists to borrow money from the bank of England, doing what central banks were created for. Benjamin Franklin wrote “The refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of money manipulators, was probably the prime cause of the revolution.” This is what the fore fathers were so adamant about leaving in Europe and this is what made men like Andrew Jackson get “I Beat the Bank” written on his tombstone.

Some of the US’ forefathers saw this problem and fought against it. Alexander Hamilton was an advocate of a central bank and he lobbied for it in 1789. Congress chartered the 1st central bank of the US in 1791 against Thomas Jefferson’s warnings “I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.” In 1811 James Madison and the vice president George Clinton broke the tie vote in Congress and did not renew the charter for the central bank. After the war of 1812 Madison flipped and supported a privately owned central bank which resurfaced in 1816. In 1836 President Andrew Jackson closed it. Both the 1st and 2nd central banks of the US were chartered for 20 years. Jackson saw the banker’s cohorts who had worked their way into high government positions and began casting them out. He ended up firing 700 federal employees saying to the bankers “You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal god I will rout you out.” We enjoyed a central bank free nation for decades from 1837 to 1862 but the economy was still unstable as it continued to go in and out of recessions (as it had with or without central banks since the countries inception.) The US would have a total of 29 recessions, depressions and “panics” up to 1913.

“Panics” were a term used to explain a “run on the bank” where people would fear the safety of their money and would withdraw their funds. Why would people do this? These panics were initiated by many things but one of the large factors happened to be false information leaked by powerful bankers to frighten the American public. At this time in history and still today there are a few families who virtually run everything bank related. The predominant families include the Morgans, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and the Warburgs. Using their powerful influence they could steer public opinion by publishing articles speaking of smaller banks as “insolvent” or bankrupt. This would create these panics and runs where people would rush to withdraw all their money at once, which in turn would cause the banks to call in their loans, forcing people to default, file bankruptcy, sell their assets, and get everything they owned repossessed.

In 1907 there was a huge panic which lasted over a year. Frederik Allen, an editor and historian for LIFE magazine which was founded in 1883 wrote “The Morgan interest took advantage of the panic of 1907 guiding it shrewdly as it progressed.” These scares eventually would lead up to heavy investigations into what needed to be done. Of course by this time bankers had already infiltrated congress and their minions were like storm troopers in Star Wars. A man named Nelson Aldrich, whose only daughter had married one of John D. Rockefellers sons, was the head of this investigation in what needed to be done. Of course his interest lied with the banking cartel family. Aldrich was at the forefront of the bill that would become the Federal Reserve Act.

Like any other needy president, Woodrow Wilson was in need of campaign money and what better place to get the money than from these filthy rich bankers but as some religions believe you can sell your soul to the devil, a president must basically so the same thing. He agreed to sign into law the Federal Reserve Act with the financial support of powerful bankers. This bill was meticulously constructed by Wall Street in secret on an island named Jeckyll Island. The writing of this bill was so secret that the draftsmen didn’t use their real names while traveling and were forbidden to say each other’s last names while in attendance of the drafting. Secrecy was essential for this project because if any of congress knew that Wall Street had a hand in the drafting of the bill it would never pass and Aldrich’s plan would be foiled. Essentially the bill was written by Paul Warburg, one of the most powerful bankers of the time. They came up with this new central bank and called it the Federal Reserve Bank. They used that name because any “central bank” title would quickly be opposed. (Funny thing is most Americans do not realize how fraudulent this title actually is. The Federal Reserve Bank is no more Federal than FedEx. It is not a government entity, it is a privately owned as business. There are no “reserves” in the Federal Reserve and it is not a bank either.)

Once completed the bill was submitted in December when most of congress was home for Christmas. The bill slipped through the senate which had adjourned sine die (without setting a further day for meeting). It made it to President Woodrow Wilson to sign which he reluctantly did and as he realized how he had prostituted his entire country out to bankers he reflected, “I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

The pitch to sell this idea of a private entity (business) having monopoly over the money supply and economy of an industrious nation was that the country needed “elasticity” to its money. The years of recessions, depressions and panics were used to justify this need. With this entity being apart from the government it would be free from the checks and balances of the 3 branches of government. This was sold as a benefit to the “purity” of the institution but in all reality it allows the Federal Reserve to do whatever it wants, have loyalty to no one, and be free of any government intervention. The former Federal Reserve Chairmen Alan Greenspan explains “The Federal Reserve is an independent agency and that means basically that there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take.” Though this is the reality it is portrayed as “independent within the government” in books and on websites.

There are 12 Federal Reserve Banks throughout the US, these include the cities: Boston - Massachusetts, Buffalo - New York, Richmond – Virginia, Atlanta – Georgia, Chicago – Illinois, St Louis – Missouri, Minneapolis – Minnesota, Kansas City – Kansas, Dallas – Texas, San Francisco – California. The only relation to the government the Federal Reserve has is through the Board of Governors. The board is made up of seven members and is appointed by the president. Each member serves 14 years and the appointments are staggered so that one term expires on January 31st of each even-number ending year.
Generally the Federal Reserve’s duties include:

1. Controlling the economy of the US by influencing the monetary and credit conditions in pursuit of maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long term interest rates.

2. Supervising and regulating banking institutions to ensure the safety and soundness of the nation’s banking and financial system and to protect the credit rights of consumers.

3. Maintaining the financial system and containing systemic risks that may arise in financial markets.

4. Providing financial services to depository institutions, the US government, and financial institutions, including playing a major role in operating the nations payments systems

These duties also include the creation of our money, dollars, or Federal Reserve Notes which used to read “Redeemable in gold” but were soon taken off when the fractional reserve banking got out of control and when the debt was too great to have it supported. In short the United States government asks the Federal Reserve for money. The Federal Reserve prints out this money and the United States government prints out what are called “Treasury Bonds” in return. The treasury bonds are nothing more than pieces of paper with fancy official words printed on them as well as the determined value the government is asking from the Federal Reserve. Once traded, the government deposits the newly printed Federal Reserve Notes of whatever value asked for, into the economy thus adding more money. This is all done electronically. (3% of the United States’ money supply is in physical currency.) These treasury bonds are a promise of payback or an I.O.U. to the Federal Reserve from the borrower, (the United States Government). As stated in the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ publication “Modern Money Mechanics”, the money deposited in the smaller bank is considered the bank’s reserve. Under the fractional reserve policy, the bank is only legally required to keep reserves equal to a required percentage of its total deposits. The reserve requirements against most transactions is 10% meaning the bank only has to have 10% of what it claims to have. The other 90% is considered excessive reserve and can be turned into more loans with the same stipulations. The problem is, this money for the loan does not come from the original amount, it is made up. This means that for every amount of money that is physically there or on a computer, nine times that amount can be created out of thin air. As this process continues we see more and more money loaned out with very little of the actual amount, 10% to be exact in actual existence. Of course this money is loaned with interest, so now the question comes, “Where does the money come from to pay the interest on the non-existent money loaned out?” The Federal Reserve of course, loaned out at more interest. We see how this cycle creates perpetual debt that will never and can never be paid off, ever. It is similar to throwing water out of a sinking boat with holes, using a bucket with holes, it is completely useless.

As for the duties that the Federal Reserve was put in place to perform which would keep the economy from collapsing, all we have to do is look at the history of recessions since the creation of the Federal Reserve. We are in a recession even as I write this and we’ve had 16 other recessions and not to mention the Great Depression of the early 1930’s. The creation of the Federal Reserve has served to weaken the US dollar and placed the majority of the United States citizens in some form of debt. You cannot own anything physical of great value without going through a bank. Some people are capable of paying for their houses in cash but not many. There is an extensive lineage of owners of central banks and their families placing the serfs and peasants in debt to control the population. We are witnessing the collapse of our economy now as the government continues to allow Wall Street to literally gamble with the public’s money then get bailed out. If this were truly a free market system these businesses would have failed like other businesses that fail. The Federal Reserve’s job was supposed to protect the economy but as we see they are above the law when they fail, like a sadistic doctor who keeps murdering his patients but has enough money to manipulate media and stay out of a prison which is meant solely to house the poor, the Federal Reserve shifts the blame and lurks in the shadows. We have to keep in mind, the Federal Reserve is a business and it is privately owned. A tiny group of people own the “greatest nation” on earth’s economy. We need to put an end to this debt propagation and learn to take responsibility rather than borrow invented money from jackals.

There are no races, no Africans, no Mexicans, no Chinese, there’s just the haves and the have not’s, so when you tell your child that they can be whatever they want, tell them the truth, the way most people get rich in the United States is by inheriting their weakth and until we all help each other to stop these entitled tyrants, we’ll be where we’ve always been with no one to blame but ourselves. We point the fingers and call it socialism when people making over 250,000 dollars a year are taxed more while literally tons of food a day is thrown out of Las Vegas buffets and one in every 3 homeless people is a United States war veteran. While 24 hedge fund managers are “worth” as much as a 680,000 teachers who teach 3 million children, we see we are only going to hit the bottom harder if we do not drastically alter the way we see things in our consumerist economy.

Die For My People by Revolution of The Mind (Prod. by Snowgoons)

The AIM stands behind the perspective of sick spitting Iranian emcee I.Sheik from Revolution of The Mind. I.Sheik denounces both Western Militarism in the Middle East and the Islamic Regime of Iran itself which is murdering and oppressing legions of it's own people. Revolution of the Mind stand up for the Green Revolution and have realsed a number of tracks which flip the bird at both Western Militarism and Political Islam in Iran.

Revolution of the Mind have made various songs in relation to the human rights abuses in Iran including Death to the Ayatollahs, We Will Not Forget and now Die for My People produced by the Snowgoons. We're also proud to say that I.Sheik will be appearing with our very own Perseverance on his debut album United Division which will feature a Hip-Hop dream team from the underground.

Amerikkka don't drop no bombs on the Iranian people because blowing people up is as bloody and barbaric as the system that is already in place there. Real defenders of freedom want the Iranian people to determine themselves not be determined by oppressors on any side. Thus we support the Iranian people in their Green Revolution and we lay ourselves down in their defence against all sides which violate their rights! We say Rise, Resist and Revolt! Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones or drop bombs!



Rep Green! Fuck the Regime!
