Brookings Announces Next Move in Syria: War [video included]

After admitting UN peace plan was a ploy, Brookings predictably scraps it and begins promoting expanded military conflict.
by Tony Cartalucci
May 9, 2012 – By the US policy think-tank Brookings Institution’s own admission, the Kofi Annan six-point peace plan in Syria was merely a ploy to buy time to reorganize NATO’s ineffective terrorist proxies and provide them the pretext necessary for establishing NATO protected safe havens from which to carry out their terrorism from. In fact, Brookings actually stated in a recent report, “Assessing Options for Regime Change” (emphasis added):
“An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annan’s leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. This would, of course, fall short of U.S. goals for Syria and could preserve Asad in power. From that starting point, however, it is possible that a broad coalition with the appropriate international mandate could add further coercive action to its efforts.” –page 4, Assessing Options for Regime Change, Brookings Institution.
Image: Also out of the Brookings Institution, Middle East Memo #21 “Assessing Options for Regime Change (.pdf),” makes no secret that the humanitarian “responsibility to protect” is but a pretext for long-planned regime change.
As if to alleviate any lingering doubts, NATO’s “Alliance News Blog” has confirmed that the US is committed not to “peace,” but rather to the overthrow of Syria’s government and is “already committed to helping [President Bashar al-Assad] fall,” but is “merely looking for the least violent, lowest cost way to get there.” The April 9, 2012 blog entry features an op-ed titled, “US ‘already committed to helping Assad fall’,” and fully admits that the US is equipping the so-called “Free Syrian Army” which has received weapons, leadership, and cash from the NATO-backed Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) terrorists led by notorious mass-murderer Abdul Hakim Belhaj.
Image: NATO’s official “Alliance News Blog proudly reports that the US is already committed to helping “Assad fall” and is simply using the lull in fighting brought on by Kofi Annan’s disingenuous “peace plan” to rearm, reorganize, and redeploy their terrorist proxy forces against Assad. The op-ed featured on NATO’s blog was featured in the LA Times and written by CFR member Doyle McManus. (click image to enlarge)
Video: Michael Weiss of the Neo-Con “Henry Jackson Society,” openly admits that diplomatic options are being paraded publicly to satisfy public opinion, but ultimately NATO plans to unilaterally intervene militarily in Syria, and will do so with the UN’s purposefully sabotaged “humanitarian operation” as its pretext.
As the Brookings Institution prepares the next stage of its premeditated escalation against the sovereign nation-state of Syria, and continues framing the violence as one-sided, a torrent of reports even from the corporate-media itself confirms what many geopolitical analysts have been saying for over a year – that the “Free Syrian Army” is conducting a vicious campaign of terrorism leaving Syrian security forces no choice but to continue fighting on to restore order.
In fact, just today, Wednesday May 9, 2012, Syrian rebels attempted to attack a convoy consisting of Kofi Annan’s UN monitors. France inexplicably then blamed the Syrian government for not providing adequate security for the UN monitors, after a year of condemning the government for attempting to restore order in the face of the very growing militant violence the attacks resulted from. And in recent weeks, everything from Human Rights Watch reports, to open admissions from the rebels themselves confirm that they are committing widespread human rights abuses and turning toward indiscriminate bombing tactics. This indicates a threat Syria’s government would be remiss not to counter – and surely a threat the “international community” would be remiss to continue supporting, funding, and even arming.
Now a concerted effort will be made to sabotage the UN peace plan in every shape, form, and manner, especially through increased violence and particularly in cross-border incidents to help sell NATO-backed, Turkey-led incursions into Syria to carve out “safe havens.” From there a steady stream of weapons and fighters from around the world will be funneled in, in an attempt to, as Brookings Shaikh puts it, stretch Syria’s forces “to a breaking point.”
Image: The cover of the CFR’s flattering report on US-Turkey relations, full of empty promises to entice Turkish leaders into falling on their swords for Western ambitions across the Middle East. And of course, the report is written in the context of what Turkey can do for the US in terms of Syria and Iran in particular. Pro-genocide Madeleine Albright chaired the “task force” that produced the report.
To help convince Turkey to “take the plunge” for NATO, the Council on Foreign Relations has recently published a report attempting to flesh out an improved alliance between the US and Turkey – claiming the new relationship would trump the potential for US cooperation with any BRICS nation (except perhaps India). This patronizing political stunt attempts to fill Turkish leaders with delusions of grandeur, tempting them with “goodies” ahead of falling on their swords for Wall Street and London’s ambitions in Syria and Iran. Turkish leaders might reassess such grandiose claims and remember BRICS’ growth and benefits are based on solidarity and production, avoiding “alliances” with Wall Street, London, and their institutions, while conversely, Wall Street and London’s “benefits” are based on domination, exploitation, betrayal, and unsustainable pyramid schemes.
Syria’s fate rests on both Syria and its allies’ ability to produce a tactical reality on the ground that would make any foreign military incursion a disaster. It also depends on either Turkey’s wisdom or foolishness in considering the elementary ploy and poisoned “goodies” the West is dangling in front of it in exchange for complicity in dividing and destroying neighboring Syria.
The corporate-financiers centered around the capitals of the West have committed to a global war aimed at permanently destroying nation-states and replacing them with a homogeneous administrative system built out of Wall Street and London-funded NGOs, interlocking with the West’s contrived “international institutions.” It is in essence, a World War, currently being fought with 4th generation warfare to build a neo-imperial global government. With overt efforts to destabilize nations around the world, including Russia and China, the West’s hand is revealed and there is no turning back.
The only hope of stopping disaster if either the corporate-financiers succeed or fail (thus turning in and feeding on itself), is to recognize their source of power, and begin undermining it on a daily basis through both boycotting their goods and services, while simultaneously replacing their corporations and institutions with local, genuine alternatives. Syria may seem like an isolated conflict, but is in reality linked to us directly, regardless of where we live. Either we live in a nation that will be next, or a nation who will be further crushed under the hubris, power, and arrogance of an empowered Wall Street and London elite.

New HQ Military Plane Footage – Undeniable new 9/11 WTC DRONE PLANE PROOF (NOT UA 175) [video]

March 10, 2012
Undeniable new 9/11 DRONE ATTACK PROOF, visual and testimony evidence + proof of bombs
There are around 16 LIVE reactions of groups of people close enough to see the plane, guess how many of those people said the plane was either: no commercial plane OR a military plane (grey, no markings). ALL of them.
There is not a single witness who saw the plane who thought or made any suggestion that the plane was a commercial plane let alone a UA plane.
And if there ever is one you can bet your life that it is a paid actor and/or thought it was a commercial plane based on the shape or because they painted the tail blue.

May 7, 2012
The violence of the Arab Spring has led to widespread displacement in the greater Middle East. Many people have crossed the Mediterranean trying to find passage into Europe. Italy’s island of Lampedusa has become notorious for the massive number of illegal immigrants from Northern Africa passing through it. Life on the Curb shows those trying to escape the aggression in their homelands, or who are just simply searching for a better way of life. The film explains local residents’ conflicting attitude towards migrants and how it affects Europe as a whole.

Patrick Wood’s Warnings Regarding Technocracy and Transhumanism
Writer and lecturer Patrick Wood reads an article from a British newspaper where “technocrats” are mentioned.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Lecturer Patrick Wood gave a fascinating talk on the topic of “Technocracy” this past Friday at the H&H Shooting Sports Complex’s High Noon Club.
Wood is the editor and founder of The August Forecast & Review and is based in Idaho. We covered his main lecture at the High Noon Club here, in our article “Will Technocracy be allowed to frame our future?”
Following his lecture, Red Dirt Report asked Wood about Technocracy and the technocrats who are pushing this science-based ideology.
Wood quoted ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, saying that one must know oneself as well as knowing who the enemy is. In the case of Technocracy, the enemy is not obvious. Many are behind-the-scenes types.
Wood said that while many have been concerned about Communism, socialism and other political ideologies antithetical to the American Republic, “these technocrats have slipped in and look to control our lives.”
Added Wood: “These people want to control you, from cradle to grave.”
As we were interviewing Wood, State Rep. Sally Kern (R-Oklahoma City) interrupted our interview and questioned Wood about Technocracy’s role in modern education.
As he spoke to Kern, he noted an article in a British newspaper that day that referred to technocrats in the European Union.
Pointing to the “technocrats” reference in the article, Wood said Americans simply don’t use those sorts of terms, which makes it more difficult for people here to fully understand what it is technocrats do.
Wood reminded us that 10 years after Technocracy, Inc. took hold in the U.S., it’s co-founder, Howard Scott, was revealed to not have an engineering degree as he had claimed. This was around the time the U.S. entered World War II and Technocracy fell into disrepute, mostly forgotten – until today.
Wood also made the point that Technocracy has been largely left out of the history books as being a movement in America that had quite a large following.
When folks asked Wood what can be done to stop the march of Technocracy, Wood said that people need to become more informed, particularly as we see the installation of technocratic tools like the Smart Meter, which Oklahoma utility OG&E is installing at a rapid rate, thanks to a “stimulus” push by the Obama administration.
And while the Smart Grid and Smart Meters are dangerous and being forced on the public (invasive, emit radiation, etc. – Red Dirt Report addressed it at greater length here) they do have weaknesses that can be penetrated.
“If we don’t stop the Smart Grid, hackers will,” Wood said.”Hackers say it is easy to penetrate it.”
And if it were to be hacked it could lead to massive blackouts, for example.
Shifting into the topic of transhumanism, a subject he mentioned but did not deeply delve into, he said it is the idea of humans seeking to “escape the human condition.”
Transhumanism, he said, will be the “religion” that replaces the world religions of today by promising “everything God promises you.”
“Transhumanism is morphing into a worldwide movement,” Wood said. He pointed to H+ magazine, a transhumanism publication and website that “covers technological, scientific, and cultural trends that are changing – and will change – human beings in fundamental ways.”
“Read their material,” Wood said, noting H+ magazine. “It (transhumanism) is a religion and it has scientists on their side.”
Other examples of where transhumanistic notions are spreading include the widespread use of nanotechnology and the genetic modification of our food. In fact, when Red Dirt Report later visited the H+ magazine website, the top story of the day was an article by Guillermo Santamaria headlined “Nanotechnology: The Promise and The Peril.”
When folks asked Wood what can be done to stop the march of Technocracy,
“If we don’t stop the Smart Grid, hackers will,” Wood said.”Hackers say it is easy to penetrate it.”
An expert on the Trilateral Commission, Wood said every president since Jimmy Carter has been linked to the Trilateral Commission and noted how President Barack Obama “was chosen by (Trilateralist) Zbigniew Brzezinski,” Carter’s national security adviser.
Asked his thoughts on Obama, Wood replied:
“He’s an empty suit, an emptier suit than Jimmy Carter. A blithering fool. He doesn’t know anything about anything. He’s just moved along by the global elite.”
Regarding his week-long visit to Oklahoma, where he spoke at several events about his research, Wood said he was impressed by just how informed and aware of the important issues people were as he visited with folks.
“Oklahoma is an example of where the rest of the nation ought to be,” Wood said, adding, “But all of us still have a ways to go.”
