http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ifiwere2.html In the book, "Red Storm Rising",
World War Three starts when a fictionalized USSR, economically unable to
purchase the oil products it needs, simply decides to take them. In order to
conceal what is in essence a war of conquest, the fictionalized USSR
manufactures a provocation by staging a fake terrorist attack on a
symbolically important building in Moscow. Faked evidence is used to pin the
blame on a target nation, and the fictionalized USSR starts a war on two
fronts; a "just cause" war which masks a second front moving to
grab the oil fields. This is a very believable scenario to the public, and
the book was a best seller. It's one of my favorites. Thus it is with some amazement that I watch
as the very people who turned that book into a huge commercial success seem
oblivious to the parallels in the so-called "War On Terror". Whereas the fictionalized USSR in "Red
Storm Rising" required the plot device of a refinery disaster to kick
off the story line, the United States has arrived in precisely the same
situation as the fictionalized USSR in the book through chronic
mismanagement. It is no secret that the United States is in and has been in serious
financial trouble for decades. The
total governmental debt of the United States is estimated at $17 trillion
(with a "T"). The interest alone on the federal portion of the
National Debt now exceeds the entire personal income tax collected from every
tax payer in the nation. And, since the full interest payments are not being
made, let alone the principle, the debt continues to skyrocket. Claims of an
election year budget surplus, which ignored the debt entirely, were little
more than a bookkeeping trick in which the government spent Social Security payments as if
they were general funds, along with
now-failed predictions of ever increasing economic growth. The United States government is so deeply
in debt that it has long ago run out of sufficient gold with which to
collateralize the debt. Starting during the Nixon administration, public
lands were declared off limits to the general population and set aside as
collateral on the loans held by foreign interests. In order to conceal from
the public just how dire the situation truly was, this land collateralization
process was concealed behind a cover of "environmentalism". The
E.P.A. was created at the very start of the land collateralization process,
and has since been joined by various other programs with names such as
"Heritage Rivers", "Wet lands", "Biosphere
Reserve", etc. By using a large number of such fronts, with each only
grabbing a "small" amount of land, the United States government has
tried to conceal the true scale of the land collateralization process from
the public. The following map shows the current extent
of all lands grabbed by the government under the guise of environmentalism as
of the start of 2000. While America maintains a huge export
business in agriculture, most manufacturing has gone overseas. America has
invented a great many products, but rather than actually make them, the
United States has for the most part sold the rights to manufacture American
invented products to other nations. This may make the inventors and
developers of those products wealthy, but the far greater wealth generated by
the sales of the manufactured products goes elsewhere. No sales revenues, no
tax revenues. To conceal this loss of manufacturing, the
United States created the concept of the "service economy"; the
ridiculous idea that a nation could be prosperous by doing each other's
laundry. From the point of view of the government, this worked as a short
term solution, because the government could collect taxes on money that was
simply moving back and forth between the citizens. However, eventually those
very taxes discourage service-type businesses. People go back to doing their
own laundry. Taxes are raised on the remaining business so that the
government can keep servicing its debt, slowing more businesses down. There
is a finite limit to how long a nation can survive a cycle where raising taxes
reduces businesses which requires raising taxes again. In the end, true wealth for a nation is
generated only by having a product to sell, and the United States has few
indeed. Check out the labels on the big-ticket Christmas gifts. That will
tell you the story of Christmas yet-to-come. Then there is the stock marlet, run up to
record highs by the plunge protection team for political reasons, these high
numbers did not really signal economic well-being but a dangerously
over-valued market. Toss in several corporate bookkeeping scandals and the
market is plunging and discredited all at the same time. Complicating the problem is the emergance
of the "Euro". While still a reserve monetary system, the Euro is
already backed with stronger gold reserves than the US Dollar, since the US
(along with Britain) have been selling off gold reserves to keep gold prices
down and prop up their fiat money systems. The member nations of the European
Union collectively form a powerhouse economy second only to the United States
itself. Concerns are being raised that Argentina's reliance on the dollar as
a currency are in part responsible for its' current woes, and other nations,
such as Mexico, are already re-thinking their position on aligning their
monetary systems with that of the United States. The trend is obvious; unless there is a
radical change to the cash flow across the border, the US government is
staring at total economic collapse. The citizens cannot be taxed enough to
pay the interest on the debt, let alone the debt itself. The dollar will
cease to be the currency of choice in the global market. The situation is
desperate. And as Clancy illustrates in his book, a desperate government will
take desperate chances. The United States needs to have a product
to sell, something to get the cash flow headed back into the nation rather
than out of it, a product everyone needs, and a product which exists in vast
amounts. Oil. To put it simply, American control of the
world's remaining major oil resources, both the middle east and Central Asia,
would bail the US government out of its financial woes as nothing else can.
Indeed there appear to be no other options open. It's "grab the
oil" or collapse under the accumulated debt of decades of "wishful
spending" by the government. There are clear indications that such a
planned grab for the oil of Central Asia lies at the heart of current US
foreign policy. In 1998, Congress discussed removing the government of
Afghanistan to make way for an oil pipeline. Kosovo was also sitting along a desired pipeline route into the
wealth lying under the Caspian Sea. In "Red Storm Rising", Tom Clancy
portrayed the fictionalized USSR as planning the war long before the staged
terror attack in Moscow. The reality is that long before the attacks on the
World Trade Towers the US Government told India there would be an
invasion of Afghanistan in October.
Even the BBC heard about the planned invasion of Afghanistan
before the events of 9/11. As far
back as March 2001 Jane's Defense got word of the planned US invasion
of Afghanistan. In "Red Storm Rising", Tom Clancy
portrayed the fictionalized USSR as using its' own intelligence services to
bomb an important building, then planting fake evidence to point the blame at
the intended target of Invasion. The reality is that several of the men
officially accused of the 9/11 attacks have turned up alive. The FBI admits that the IDs used by the hijackers were well-done fakes, using identities stolen from middle-eastern men. Likewise, the Anthrax letters sent to media
figures and Congress (just before it was scheduled to vote on the anti-terror
bill) have turned out to be a total frame-up. While written to appear to be from middle eastern terrorists, it
turns out that the Anthrax contained in the letters was United States
property and only available from a select few government laboratories. And, in a stunning revelation which
confirms the deception being forced on the public, a US official admitted to Fox News that evidence
exists linking the 9/11 attacks to NON-ARAB suspects, but that this
particular evidence has been classified! The first
suspects arrested after the WTC attacks were not Arabs, either. It is said that art often must imitate
life. In the case of Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising", the motives
and actions of the fictionalized USSR line up rather nicely with those of the
real life USA. And therein lies a warning for those who think fake terror is
the ideal tool with which to rule. For in Clancy's book, following a costly
and bloody war, the fictionalized USSR is no better off than when it started,
still without oil, still without money, and with a military coup on top of it
all. Life imitates art? I hope not. |
