US A Step Closer to Economic Collapse

 

By: Stewart Brennan

While totalitarian measures are being implemented on populations around the world for a virus no worse than the annual flu, the US treasury secretary “Janet Yellen”, sounded the alarm about raising the US debt ceiling again [01] and warned that if not done soon, the United States might be unable to meet its obligations for the first time in its history, adding that all available “cash on hand” and “extraordinary measures” previously employed, will soon be exhausted. This announcement comes on the heals of an additional 3.5 Trillion dollars [02] that the US government is pushing for in its 2021 national spending.

To date in 2021, the US government debt is approximately 29 Trillion dollars, that’s 7 Trillion dollars more debt than they had in January 2020 and it’s predicted, should the debt ceiling continue to be raised, that by 2025 the US government debt will be upwards of 50 Trillion dollars!!...with no way for the American people to pay it back.

The 2020 US Debt in Perspective [03]

Not to worry America, your corrupt multi millionaire politicians will raise the debt ceiling once again as they have in the past when it was needed, but not before they stick a few more pay-offs and bribes into the deal.

At what point does this insanity end, because as it stands now, the USA is bankrupt, inflation is soaring, millions are homeless, the infrastructure is in terminal decay and US treasuries are being bought up by its money creator, the privately owned federal reserve. There’s a huge money leak in the USA and no one is willing to stop it.

Where did the money go?

The US government obviously did not spend the money in America because if they did, the entire country would be very well off, the infrastructure would be state of the art and America would be leading the world in technology instead of China. You know, the place where the North American industrial capacity disappeared to. So, what happened? Where did the money go?

The enormous debt that the US has accumulated is now doubling faster than any other time in its history due to the endless spending and debt creation by the US government which has mostly come over the last twenty years in the aftermath of 911 and their so called “war on terror”. The 800+ military bases around the world doesn’t help either.

Funding wars and terrorist escapades with the likes of Britain, France, Israel and Saudi Arabia, etcetera, do not pay dividends. That money only flows out the door away from the people of the United States, into the private pockets of the share holders, lobby groups and millionaire politicians through the weapons companies that take part through the economic cartel’s private bank machine.

There’s corruption at every level of government, so when hundreds of, “thousand-dollar screwdrivers” are requisitioned with a list of thousands of other over pricey things that are signed off on, well you know somebody made a killing and others got a cut, while the American tax payer got screwed.

Twenty Years on in the Aftermath of 911

Ground zero of the current economic disaster began twenty years ago on Sept 11th, 2001 when the World Trade Center was destroyed.

September 11th 2001 was a wake-up call for most of us, so if you were not awake by then, this event surely put you on the road to discovering what was really going on in the world which has never been the same since.

911 was a preconceived and calculated event but not in the way they are reporting it, and if you are not aware of that fact then you surely have a long road ahead of you to search for the truth.

However, for those not aware, I can save you some time and ask you to listen to William Rodriguez (See Here [04] and Here [05]) who was the last man out of the 2nd building as it collapsed. Willie is a real hero and an onsite witness to what really happened that day. Also, listen to the firemen [06] who were in the buildings or other onsite witnesses [07] for a better understanding and then investigate World Trade Center Building 7 [08] which is the real smoking gun to what happened that day.

If you are concerned about what happened that day, and you should be, but haven’t looked into the details already, then it is imperative that you begin your investigations there, with the people who were actually in the building and then start examining the evidence from the Architects, engineers, demolition, and forensic experts [09] to get a real picture of what happened that day. STOP WATCHING MAINSTREAM MEDIA or listening to corporate RADIO, or reading the mainstream newspapers. All of them are owned by economic interests that had a direct hand in the events that day…this becomes evident when you understand who owns the majority shares in the consolidated media corporations, and why there was zero energy put into an investigation of the biggest crime in American history after the fact. The real issues and evidence were completely ignored by a consolidated media that obsesses over political spin and unimportant trivial things to keep you distracted.

Those that investigated 911 for themselves, rather than believe the contrived official story, know that the World Trade center was destroyed in a controlled demolition and that 911 was actually a means for the American government and economic cartel to seize upon the declining oil resources globally, but especially in the Middle East, Eurasia and Africa. All of it was to maintain their global economic dominance because, as everyone should know by now, our global consumer debt, fractional reserve economic system, is powered by oil. No oil, no economy.

Energy Dry Europe

In Europe, where they have little to no oil or gas for themselves, they have to steal most of it from other countries via Shell, BP and Total with a little help from…well, a lot of help from their US military guard dog, which comes to their rescue when their interests require one…say, like in Libya in 2011[10a] when Muammar Gaddafi awarded offshore drilling contracts to China [10b] instead of Britain’s BP who had just lost a huge oil pocket in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP Horizon Disaster [11] who then needed to replace a lost contract with a guaranteed future oil flow.

The fact is, if you look at any conflict in the Middle East, Eurasia or Africa today, that Europe and America are involved in, there’s always oil and gas resources at the heart of it. These entire regions are battlefields of greed by US & European design and it is because of their belligerent attitude why they are losing.

So America, your money is being put into an endless military hole in ground for the sake of economics, which are in large part, controlled by old European banking families with hooks in your Federal Reserve. These same families are behind the destruction and division of the Ottoman Empire where the colonial powers of old (France and Britain) carved it up into little statelets for themselves putting into place and propping up puppet regimes that were more or less vassals to their economic ambitions. Sixty-three percent of the worlds oil reserves were under Ottoman lands at a time when military technology had evolved into diesel and gasoline powered machines…ie: if you want to maintain your position of power (military) you need oil.

In order to maintain control of the Ottoman empire and its vast riches the Europeans (France and Britain) had to keep it fragmented and at odds with itself. They did this by propping up vassal states via dictatorships and kingdoms. The idea was to never allow the Arabs to unite in opposition to British allied economic ambitions and interests.

Without going into detail, because it would require that I write a book, World War I, was in itself, a battle of competing Monarchies and kingdoms [12], and all of it was for the trade routes, riches and resources of the Ottoman Empire and China. All the world powers at the time, most of whom were monarchy’s (England, Germany, Austria-Hungary, The Ottomans, Russia, Japan, Spain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Romania, and Serbia) with the emerging democratic republic of the United States, were all economic rivals and had their eyes on China, who’s 5,000 year Imperial empire had been destroyed by the very same powers by 1912. But as I said, that’s a story for a different post. (See here for a brief look at modern China’s Rise [13])

What evolved out of the Ottoman’s destruction and by Britain’s direct construction were the oppressive regimes of Israel, Saudi-Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain and others with direct ties to the emerging consolidated European economic cartel. After World War II, the United States became a very big player within that economic cartel and supplied the military force for it.

So, when someone asks who did 911, it becomes a confusing tail chase if one tries to pin it on a few Arabs, or a few Israelis and / or duel criminal citizens in the US deep state. In reality, one only needs to look at it in economic terms, “Who benefitted by it and how?”.

It becomes very easy to see when you look at history through the lens of power economics. The conclusion is that it was all of the above through the long economic consolidation of powerfully rich families around the world, including those in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Britain, the British Commonwealth, Europe and the USA. These families are the bulk of the economic cartel by their vast holdings in real estate, private banks, corporate and resource stocks. The economic cartel are the head of the deep state in every nation they control which is why countries like Israel get away with mass murder of the Palestinian people and why no member nation has been taken to the Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity…and why we will never see a real investigation into 911.

What comes next after the pending crash of the US global reserve currency is a more global totalitarian world with or without China as a major partner. However, regardless of China’s partnership, one fact remains and it is this, China is now a super power and the future leader of the world.

Operation COVID-19 is the 911 of today that makes all of it possible, thanks to the collusion of the economic cartel.

The American people, including those in the military, have a choice to either unite and remove the economic cartel from your government or do nothing, remain divided and watch your country slip into a dystopian future under their control. Can it be any more plain than that?

The $30 Billion Pair of Underpants

Source: Al Jazeera

Written By: Mark LeVine


Almost immediately after it was learned that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a US airliner using explosives concealed in his underpants, received training in Yemen, US politicians called for Barack Obama, the US president, to expand the 'war on terror' - which remains very much a war despite the administration's official ban of such vocabulary - to that country.

The president obliged, declaring that the US would strike anywhere to prevent another attack.

Such calls were in fact unnecessary, as the US is already involved in Yemen, supervising attacks on militants that have been credited by analysts with helping to further inflame anti-Americanism and support for al-Qaeda in the country.
Indeed, far from heralding a more successful US effort to stamp out Islamist terrorism, the soon to be deepening footprint in Yemen is a sure sign of America's defeat in the war against violent extremism in the Muslim world.

'Boots on the Ground'

Think about it. One angry young man with about three ounces (around 80 grams) of explosive material, $2,000, and a pair of specially tailored underwear has completely disrupted the US aviation system.

It does not even matter that he failed to blow up the plane.

The costs associated with preventing the next attack from succeeding will measure in the tens of billions of dollars - new technologies, added law enforcement and security personnel on and off planes, lost revenues for airline companies and more expensive plane tickets, and of course, the expansion of the 'war on terror' full on to yet another country, Yemen.

And what happens when the next attacker turns out to have received ideological or logistical training in yet another country? Perhaps in Nigeria, which is home to a strong and violent Salafi movement, or anyone of a dozen other African, Gulf, Middle Eastern or South East Asian countries where al-Qaeda has set up shop?

Will the US ramp up its efforts in a new country each time there is an attempted attack, putting US "boots on the ground" against an enemy that is impossible to defeat?

Such a policy would fulfill al-Qaeda's wildest dreams, as the US suffers death by a thousand cuts, bleeding out in an ever wider web of interconnected and unsustainable global conflicts.

The European Connection

As with the 9/11 attacks, Europe figures prominently in the current attacks. Then it was Germany, this time it was London, where Abdul mutallab studied and apparently began his descent into extremism.

Europe's role is not surprising, and in the case of London, particularly apt.
After centuries as a primary purchaser and transporter of slaves to the Americas from west equatorial Africa, the British used the abolishment of the slave trade to interfere ever more into the economy of the Niger Delta until it assumed increasing colonial control in the mid third of the 19th century, creating the modern state of Nigeria as part of the process (the British gained control of Aden and surrounding areas of Yemen around the same time).

The rampant poverty, corruption and violence that today plague Nigeria are an inheritance of British rule, which itself was built up on centuries of slave raiding and trading - among the most corrupt and violent of activities - by the indigenous elites of the region with Europe, a devil's bargain that haunts this part of the world to the present day.

Should the US be invading London for providing material support to terrorism?
It took decades after the end of the British empire for the impact of British colonialism in South Asia and Africa to blow back onto British soil. The US has not even finished her imperial moment and it has already arrived.

The US will now become ever more deeply involved across the arc of instability beginning in Nigeria and stretching across Africa, the Middle East and into Central Asia.

In the process, it will deepen the mistakes that have made attacks such as the one attempted by Abdul mutallab inevitable.

Poverty and Oppression

This is clear from the New York Times' New Year's eve editorial about Yemen, which warned of the importance of "heading off full chaos" in the country.

"Yemen's government is corrupt and repressive," the paper intoned. "But President Ali Abdullah Saleh seems to want to cooperate."
The world's paper of record is utterly clueless as to the intimate link between the corruption and oppression of the Yemeni government and its willingness to "cooperate" with the US, and the roots of radicalism in Yemen.

The New York Times, along with the rest of the mainstream media, have also ignored the role growing up so privileged in a country such as Nigeria had on Abdul mutallab, who likely saw the "moderation" (in Western eyes) of his wealthy banker father as a sign of his participation in a system that violated the most basic ethical premises of his religion and helped support poverty and oppression at home and across the Muslim world.

If the mainstream press, and with it no doubt the Obama administration, are unwilling to recognize the inextricable ties between oppression, poverty, corruption and violence by governments like Nigeria and Yemen, and the rise of religiously grounded extremism and violence there, then its increasing foot- or boot-print there will strengthen rather than weaken al-Qaeda and similar movements.

Strategy of Shame

As I stood in the security line at JFK airport waiting to be frisked before boarding a New Year's day flight home, another goal, or at least consequence, of the most recent attack became apparent, one deeply tied to the obsession with physical and sexual honour in radical Islamist ideology: With this one failed action, the movement will succeed in routinising the systematic physical violation of airline travellers by our own security personnel as a part of the price of air travel.

Invasive frisking of the most intimate areas of the human body and revealing full body scans represent from a hardcore Salafi perspective an almost unbearable indignity -one they will surely relish seeing millions of the enemy routinely suffer, especially when such violations mirror the daily indignities and sexual humiliation infamously suffered by inmates in Guantanamo and other US-run prisons.

Call it a politics or strategy of shame - another weapon in the al-Qaeda arsenal that the West will have a hard time finding an answer for and which will erode support for the 'war on terror' from within even as Western governments strengthen their ties to oppressive front line states.

Osama bin Laden could not have planned it better if he tried.
