21st Century Wire: Now we know why the ‘Road Map to Peace’ gone absolutely nowhere in the last 30 years. In reality it was just a cul-de-sac.

Round and around it goes, where it stops, nobody knows - until now. For years the conversation regarding the relationship between US and Israel has been wrapped and contorted with geopolitical power-politics, religious fundamentalism (Zionism and Right-wing Messianic Christian) and other hollow memes about America’s ‘special relationship’ with the ‘Middle East’s only democracy’, along with Israel’s famous ‘right to defend itself’ (and attack its neighbors). If the ‘peace process’ failed (as it always would), it was always “the Palestinians’ fault”, after all, they are Arabs, and “you cannot trust them”, or so we were told, over and over again.

For reasons of political expediency, the language has always been intentionally skewed and the reason for which has finally been exposed in the run-up to the recent Israeli election: Israel’s financial control over the US Congress, and the long-running charade of falsely promising a two-state solution for the native Palestinians. The world was able to get an unobstructed view of both of these long-running and corrupt enterprises – thanks to Israel’s own political megalomaniac, Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu. Fear of losing his ‘President for Life’ status and grip on power in Israel, ‘Bibi’ was forced to show his previously concealed, ugly hand to the world.

Consortium News Exclusive: For years, U.S. politicians have rejected allegations of Israeli racism and excused mistreatment of the Palestinians as a temporary necessity that would be fixed by a two-state solution. But Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has destroyed those arguments in his panic to keep his job, reports Robert Parry…

NETANYAHU UNMASKS ISRAEL

Robert Parry

(Consortium News) Desperate to win reelection, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stripped off Israel’s mask and exposed the ugliness that has deformed his country over the past several decades. He abandoned the subterfuge of a two-state solution, exposed the crass racism that underlies Israeli politics, and revealed Israel’s blatant control of the U.S. Congress.

For years, these realities were known to many Americans, but – if they spoke up – they were condemned as anti-Semites, so most stayed silent to protect their careers and reputations. But – given Netanyahu’s brazen admissions – the American people may have little choice but to finally take notice of this troubling reality and demand a change in U.S. policy.

The truth is that the two-state solution has been a fiction for at least the past two decades, dying in 1995 with the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. But the two-state illusion still served important political purposes both for Israelis, who would pay it lip service while continuing their steady encroachment on Palestinian lands, and for U.S. politicians who could point to the mirage as an excuse not to pressure Israel too hard on its human rights violations.

Yet, whenever any U.S. official actually tried to reach that shimmering oasis of a two-state solution, it would recede into the distance. Then, the Israelis would rely on their friends and allies in the news media and politics to blame the Palestinians. Now, however, the illusion of Israel seeking such an outcome in good faith has been lost in Netanyahu’s anything-goes determination to keep his office – a case of political expediency trumping strategic expediency.

In the closing days of the campaign, Netanyahu promised that as long as he was prime minister he would block a Palestinian state and would continue building Jewish settlements on what international law recognizes as Palestinian land.

To further rally his right-wing Jewish base, Netanyahu warned that “Arab voters are streaming in huge quantities to the polling stations” – an alarm similar to racist politicians in the United States motivating the white vote with claims about loads of blacks being bused to the polls. With his crude appeal, Netanyahu undermined the longstanding denial that Zionism is a form of racism.

Even before Netanyahu’s last-minute histrionics, he had exploited his relationship with the United States to burnish his reputation as a world leader by appearing for a record-tying third time as a foreign leader addressing a joint session of the U.S. Congress. (Only Great Britain’s Winston Churchill had appeared three times before Congress.)

Acting as almost a stand-in for the President of the United States, Netanyahu gave what amounted to a faux State of the Union address filled with scary tales about Iran and with dire warnings against international negotiations seeking to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program remains peaceful.

Though some Democrats boycotted the speech because it represented an unprecedented insult to an American president, the Republican majority and many Democrats gave Netanyahu more than 40 ovations as they cheered his vitriolic attacks on Iran and his denunciations of the negotiations supported by President Barack Obama. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “Congress Cheers Netanyahu’s Hatred of Iran.”]

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran

Then, last weekend, a prominent neoconservative Joshua Muravchik admitted that the almost certain outcome of Netanyahu’s scuttling of the negotiations would be to bomb Iran. Muravchik laid out this scenario in a Washington Post article headlined “War is the only way to stop Iran” in print editions and “War with Iran is probably our best option” online.

“What if force is the only way to block Iran from gaining nuclear weapons? That, in fact, is probably the reality,” Muravchik wrote.

“Sanctions may have induced Iran to enter negotiations, but they have not persuaded it to abandon its quest for nuclear weapons. Nor would the stiffer sanctions that Netanyahu advocates bring a different result. …

“Does this mean that our only option is war? Yes, although an air campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure would entail less need for boots on the ground than the war Obama is waging against the Islamic State, which poses far smaller a threat than Iran does. … Wouldn’t destroying much of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure merely delay its progress? Perhaps, but we can strike as often as necessary.”

In other words, if Netanyahu keeps pulling the strings of the U.S. government, an open-ended war on Iran is the almost certain result. But Netanyahu, for short-term political gain, risked Israel’s longstanding support from the American people by spotlighting his role as the marionette of the U.S. Congress. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “A Neocon Admits the Plan to Bomb Iran.“]

Netanyahu’s reelection victory has clarified the situation for the American people in another way. We now know there will be no two-state solution with the Palestinians as Israel cements its status as an apartheid state – and all the cries of “anti-Semitism” are not likely to silence people taking notice of this reality since the Israeli Prime Minister himself has taken the sting out of the slur.

The American people now have little choice but to recognize that Israel intends to maintain and expand its “Jewish state” pushing the Palestinians into isolated enclaves. For nearly a half century, Israel has exercised effective control over these indigenous people in the West Bank and Gaza (totaling more than 4 million people), but there was always the hope of a Palestinian state.

Now, by jettisoning the prospect of a “two-state solution,” Netanyahu will institutionalize what had long been the unacknowledged fate of the Palestinians. In essence, Netanyahu is opting for a one-state solution, just with most Palestinians confined to a state-less netherworld where they will be denied political rights, left to wither and die.

And, whenever some Palestinians act up, Israel will wage war against them, killing thousands at a time and destroying their homes and infrastructure, what Israelis call “mowing the grass.”

With the facades gone, Americans must decide if they will embrace this apartheid system or not. Many Christian Zionists, who are a powerful force inside the Republican Party, are okay with Israel’s brutal repression because they see the Jews taking this land as a step toward fulfilling a biblical prophecy so Jesus can return to earth as its king.

But rational Americans are confronted with a difficult moral choice. Either continue supporting Netanyahu in brutalizing the Palestinians and in his looming war against Iran (using the U.S. military to carry it out) or insist that the U.S. government reassess its relationship with Israel.

The developments of March 2015 – from Netanyahu’s proconsul-style speech before the U.S. Congress to the racist incitements of his victorious campaign – have forced thoughtful Americans to abandon their longstanding excuses for Israeli behavior.

From now on, there’s no pretending that “standing with Israel” doesn’t mean kneeling in an obsequious acceptance of Netanyahu’s cruelty toward the Palestinians and cooperation in an illegal and aggressive war against Iran.

12:10 “When you look at the tower coming down, what you see at each floor is successive puffs of smoke: puff, puff, puff, puff… all the way down. What are the puffs of smoke coming from? Well, they claim that they are from the collapsing floors… No. No. No. Those puffs of smoke are controlled demolitions. That’s exactly what they are, because that’s exactly how they work. And so, the fact that the airplane hit, it did, it did not cause that collapse of the building. The collapse of the building was caused by controlled demolition.”

13:05 “Fact: Building 7 – Silverberg, I believe is the name of the owner…” (his name is actually Larry Silverstein), “…was on a video and you could see Building 7. And, there was a fire in Building 7, there’s no doubt about that. No airplane hit it. I assume that the fire came from some debris, but I’m not even sure of that. But, in the lower right-hand corner of the building was a fire – not a very big fire. It didn’t appear to be out of control. It certainly was in a small part of the building. But, then he is heard on the video and he says Pull it. Then, the building collapsed. What does pull it mean? Let me tell you. That’s the order for controlled demolition. That is the phraseology that’s used for blowing up something.” CLN

[Editorial note: Stubblebine got mixed up with his facts regarding the Siverstein video, which you can see here. The video is a PBS interview with Silverstein that was shot sometime after 9/11. The footage of Building 7 going down is historical footage, not live during the interview. Nonetheless, Silverstein does say that he gave the order to “pull it.”]

15:00 All of the air defense systems in that part of the country had been turned off that day. All of the air defense systems had been turned off… Why would you turn off all of the air defense systems on that particular day unless you knew that something was going to happen? It’s a dot. It’s information. But, it’s strange that everything got turned off that day. DOT.”

15:50 There was an exercise that was designed for the air defense systems that was an attack on the towers by airplanes. Isn’t that strange that we had an exercise that mimicked what really happened? Strange that we had planned an exercise that was exactly what happened. And, at the same time, the air defense systems were turned off. Don’t you find that strange? I find that really strange? DOT. Just a piece of information.

16:50 “But how does it correlate with everything else? So, you see the dots. You have all of these dots. They’re just bits of information. But, that’s exactly how the intelligence world works. You get a bit of information here. A bit here, and a bit here. And, pretty soon you’ve got a picture. To me, what does the picture say? The picture says that what we heard and were told in the newspapers, the media, was not the real story. There’s enough doubt in the official story where the story is absolutely not consistent with what happened. They paint a different picture than the one that was given to the media.”

17:45 “How easy is it for you to shift your belief system from ‘I totally believe in my government’ to ‘Oh My God! What’s going on?’ That’s exactly where I went in all of this. Because, my belief system was so strong from age five when I could remember standing on a parade ground at attention with not anybody telling me to do that – at West Point. I did it because I wanted to do it – because I believed! And then going to the military academy and serving, defending…

18:30 The real story was, I have a question I guess. The real story to me is: who was the real enemy? Who participated in this? Who planned this attack? Why was it planned? Were the real terrorists the people in Arab clothing? Or, were the real people that planned this the people sitting in the authority in the White House?

The plane in the Pentagon frame was too small to be a Boeing 757

Physical Evidence and Eyewitness Testimony That A Missile Hit The Pentagon – NOT a Boeing 757

The following physical evidence and eyewitness testimony is presented in detail below, most of which is video footage:

1. Analysis of the physical damage to the Pentagon and lack of debris. You can’t fit a 125 foot wide Boeing 757 into a hole 16 feet wide. The theory that the plane vaporized is idiotic. And, what happened to the wings that allegedly sheared off? DOT
2. The official story of how the plane arrived at the Pentagon by making a 270 degree turn at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour is absurd. A Boeing 757 could not possibly perform that maneuver according to experts. DOT
3. AA Flight 77 was lost from radar as early as 8:56 a.m. and then allegedly reappeared 36 minutes later at 9:32 am. According to Danielle O’Brien, an air traffic controller at Dulles International Airport, the plane that showed up on the radar was not Flight 77: “The speed, the maneuverability, the way that it turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that it was a military plane.” DOT
4. No unknown aircraft are allowed within 50 miles of the Pentagon. The Pentagon has its own anti-aircraft missiles that should have fired to protect the building. Only a military aircraft with a special IFF transponder (identifying it as a friend) would have been allowed to approach the Pentagon. DOT
5. CNN reporter on the scene shortly after the impact saying that there was no evidence of a plane hitting the Pentagon. DOT
6. Aerial footage showing no debris (confirming the report by the CNN reporter), plus more analysis showing the size of a Boeing 757 compared to the size of the hole in the Pentagon. Recall also that the initial hole was only 16 feet wide and the CNN reporter said that the Pentagon structure did not collapse until about 45 minutes after impact. DOT
7. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and 9/11 Commission Member Timothy Roemer both saying that a MISSILE was used on the Pentagon. DOT
8. Analysis of the Pentagon video footage of the alleged Boeing 757 (it certainly doesn’t look like a Boeing 757) hitting the Pentagon that concludes it was faked. DOT
9. A leaked video showing a missile hitting the Pentagon. DOT
10. Expert testimony that a high radiation reading near Pentagon indicated that a “depleted uranium warhead may have been used” DOT
11. Two witnesses who were at the Pentagon who said there was no debris or jet fuel, and another witness who “was convinced it was a missile. It came in so fast it sounded nothing like an airplane.” DOT
12. KEY POINT. Many people reported seeing a low-flying plane heading towards the Pentagon. Thanks to a series of videotaped interviews with multiple witnesses by the Citizens Investigation Team, we find out that: (a) a plane did approach the Pentagon, but it was smaller than a Boeing 757, and it approached from a different angle than reported by the 9/11 commission; (b) the plane did not actually hit the Pentagon, but instead flew past the Pentagon at under 200 feet – immediately after the missile hit; (c) the downed flag poles at the Pentagon were staged, which was admitted by the taxi driver whose taxi was supposedly hit by one of the falling poles. DOT

Connecting the dots, a very clear picture emerges: (a) American Airlines Flight 77 (a Boeing 757) disappeared from radar and never re-appeared; (b) instead, a smaller military craft appeared on radar 36 minutes later that was capable of performing a difficult maneuver and could approach the Pentagon without being shot down; (c) a low-flying military craft approached the Pentagon but merely flew past the Pentagon immediately after the Pentagon was struck by a missile.

You Can’t Fit a Boeing 757 into Hole that is Only 16 Feet Wide

Watch this 10-minute segment of the outstanding Italian documentary titled Zero: An Investigation into 9/11, which includes analysis by Stubblebine and addresses many of the serious problems with the official account of what happened at the Pentagon:

The discrepancies that are addressed in the above video include the following:

• There is no airplane debris visible anywhere in front of the Pentagon. Examples of what you would expect to see at a plane crash site are shown. Captain Russ Whittemberg, a pilot with over 30 years in military and civil aviation, said: “I have been at some accident investigation sites in the Air Force. And I have never come across any accident scene where there is no tell-tale evidence of the plane that crashed.”
• There is no evidence that either the airplane engines or the wings impacted the building. Instead, we are supposed to believe that the 38 meter (125 feet) wide Boeing 757 fit into a hole that is only 5 meters (16 feet) wide. We are supposed to believe that the wings folded up like those of a dragon fly and squeeze into the 5 meter wide hole.
• Major General Albert Stubblebine: “One of my experiences in the Army was being in charge of the Army’s Imagery Interpretation for Scientific and Technical Intelligence during the Cold War. I measured pieces of Soviet equipment from photographs. It was my job. I look at the hole in the Pentagon and I look at the size of an airplane that was supposed to have hit the Pentagon. And I said, ‘The plane does not fit in that hole’. So what did hit the Pentagon? What hit it? Where is it? What’s going on?”
• One theory is that the Boeing 757 was vaporized due to the speed and the force of the crash. The engines are made of a titanium steel alloy that would not vaporize unless they hit a temperature of 3,286 degrees Centigrade. That did not happen. Plus, the engines would have caused significant damage upon impact. Yet, there is no indication that the engines impacted the Pentagon.
• After a period of time, various photos of airplane debris began to appear in newspapers and on the web did not appear in any photos shown in the days following the event.
• The Pentagon had numerous cameras that had complete and separate recordings of the incident. The FBI was immediately on the scene and confiscated many video tapes from the Pentagon and nearby buildings. Yet only four videos were released after 2006 when FOIA requests compelled them to release them. Only two showed any useful information. But most experts believe the white image in the videos is too small to be a 757.
• The story of how the plane arrived at the Pentagon is absurd – by making a 270 degree turn at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour.

AA Flight 77 Was Lost From Radar For 36 Minutes, Then a Smaller Military Plane Appeared On Radar That Was NOT AA Flight 77

Please continue watching the next segment of the documentary Zero: An Investigation into 9/11:

YouTube - Veterans Today -

• According to the official account, the Pentagon was struck by AA Flight 77, under the control of al-Qaeda hijacker Hani Hanjour. Hanjour was known as “a terrible pilot,” who could not even fly a small airplane.
• An experienced pilot with thousands of hours would probably require 10-20 attempts to pull off the maneuver that was performed with the Boeing 757 on its way to the Pentagon. “You just can’t do that with one of those big airplanes.” –Robin Hordon, flight controller and flight instructor
• AA Flight 77 was lost from radar as early as 8:56 a.m. and then allegedly reappeared 36 minutes later at 9:32 am. According to Danielle O’Brien, an air traffic controller at Dulles International Airport, the plane that showed up on the radar was not Flight 77: “The speed, the maneuverability, the way that it turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that it was a military plane.”
• No unknown aircraft are allowed within 50 miles of the Pentagon. The Pentagon has its own anti-aircraft missiles that should have fired to protect the building. Only a military aircraft with a special IFF transponder (identifying it as a friend) would be allowed to approach the Pentagon.
• The official report of the final half mile of Flight 77 before it allegedly hit the Pentagon is aerodynamically impossible. “I challenge any pilot, any pilot anywhere: give him a Boeing 757 and tell him to do 400 knots 20 feet above the ground for half a mile. CAN’T Do. It’s aerodynamically impossible.” – Nila Sagadevan, pilot and aeronautical engineer.
• The alleged hijackers had difficulty flying small aircraft, which means that there is a zero possibility that they could pull off an impossible maneuver on the first try.

CNN Reporter: “There is NO Evidence of a Plane Having Crashed Anywhere Near the Pentagon”

Jamie Mcintyre, CNN’s senior Pentagon correspondent at the time, was at the Pentagon shortly after it was hit. Here’s what he reported: “From my close-up inspection, there is no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon… The only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you could pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, a fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon and then caused the side to collapse. Even though if you look at the pictures of the Pentagon you see that the floors have all collapsed, that didn’t happen immediately, it wasn’t until almost about forty-five minutes later that the structure was weakened enough that all of the floors collapsed.”

(Silver Doctors) If this soaring US dollar is a current sign of unbeatable strength, and evidence that the US is truly the strongest and best nation to lead the world in the years ahead….

Why has half the Western world literally abandoned them in the last 72 hours?

Submitted by The Wealth Watchman:

Their Way or the Highway

Ya ever heard that old saying, “Ya catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”?

Ah good, because DC and “the City” sure haven’t!

As many here know, the East has been trying to formulate its banking alternatives for its member states these past several years. This is of monumental importance to Eurasian alliances, because without a network of lending institutions of their own, they’ve often been at the (lack of) mercy of the Western banking powers. For several years now, Eastern alliances such as the BRICS, have made a great deal of progress on this front.

That progress has been met with fear and loathing from DC and London, as previously, they’ve enjoyed the perks from being the world’s predatory lender through institutions like the World Bank and IMF.

During the last week however, while many of us weren’t looking, some very interesting developments have been taking place on the “grand chessboard”!

In times past, especially since the previous “Cold-War”, DC’s full-spectrum control of the geopolitical arena has been almost absolute. Since they and London had owned “all the gold”(on paper, at least), and had the lending institutions(the IMF, World Bank) to pile debt atop it, as well as the largest, deep-state apparatus, and military-industrial industries to depend on, they’ve basically used a very short list of “strategies” to bring other peoples and nations “to heel”.

In fact, previously if any national leader told DC “no!” to things like “opening up trade” or dealing with the IMF, they were usually all told:

DC: “Heeeey, that’s ok! You don’t have to say yes or anything like that!”

Anyone else: “We don’t?”

DC: “Noo sirree, but just know, between us, you’ll have to pick from a litany of other options!”

Anyone Else:” Other options, like what?”

DC: “Oh, swell things! Like”:

Internet Spying and Sabotage!

Obliteration of your Currency!

Or violent overthrow!

DC: “The last one’s our personal favorite! So, which will it be?”

Anyone Else: “Uh, where do we sign?”

Banking Monopoly is Over

That’s all changing, and changing quickly, as the Eastern Alliance has been fast-tracking several financial and lending competitors to DC’s money mafia. Things like the BRICS Bank, which now carries over $100 billion in assets to help shield its members from financial/currency crisis(which they’ll likely have to use soon), have made enormous headway. Now though, you can add to the list of worries for the ruling order, the fledgling Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank(AIIB).

The AIIB is the newest kid on the block, having only been established in October of 2013. Yet remarkably, within the first year, it has basically sewn up most of the far East in its roster already. By the end of 2014, over 2 dozen Asian nations had signed onto its establishment, including:

India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, etc! We’re talking some big names here!

At first, DC and London responded to the AIIB, as it did the BRICS Bank: with smarmy scorn. As time passed, however, and the powers that be began to see that the bank has gained serious traction, they switched tactics, from ridicule to threats. Obama and Cameron started applying tremendous pressure on their strongest “allies” to remain uninvolved with China’s alternative lending facility to the US’s Asian Development Bank.

Why wouldn’t they? After all, the real power of the US and UK has always been a money power. Without that banking and fiscal dominance and monopoly, and the ability to pyramid new debts upon the backs of humanity, their empire would come crashing down, double quick.

That’s precisely why this newest show-stopping announcement by UK officials must’ve come as complete shocker to the buzzards on the Potomac!

“Britain applies to join China-backed Asia bank, US is furious“

.

Yeeeep! So much for the “special relationship” between the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties! It just goes to show that when it’s all on the line, and it’s down to survival(and any semblance of any relevance whatsoever), they’re all just scorpions in a bottle, waiting to turn on one another.

Just listen to George Osborn explain the rational behind the decision:

“I am delighted to announce today that the UK will be the first major Western country to become a prospective founder member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which has already received significant support in the region…

This government has actively promoted closer political and economic engagement with the Asia-Pacific region and forging links between the UK and Asian economies to give our companies the best opportunity to work and invest in the world’s fastest growing markets is a key part of our long term economic plan.”

Sooooo, the UK was the first non-regional country to become a founding member in the AIIB? Comical!

Banksters in London, staring down the barrel of their own irrelevance, have decided to jump in, and save what little influence they still can. They know this process is forging ahead, with or without them, and thusly, they’ve scrambled to jump on board to become a “founder” before the deadline at the end of March 2015.

As you can imagine, this is not a very popular decision on Capitol Hill, with the Obama administration accusing Britain of“constant accommodation to China.” This is certainly a riotcoming from the original nation who gave China “most favored nation” status in the first place! As with everything else, the “exceptional nation”, claims to be the only one who can do such things.

That’s not all though! DC says they can’t support the AIIB, because they’re “concerned” that the AIIB wouldn’t have “high standards of governance”, and that it would lack “social or environmental safeguards”!

Classic!

This, of course, is coming from one of the world’s premiere violators of every imaginable human right you could think of! The only reason DC hates the AIIB is that they don’t control it! Period!

If their “special partner”, the UK, joining the AIIB wasn’t enough though, they were in for another shocker! As just yesterday France, Germany and Italy have all jumped in headfirst as well! That’s right, in one day half the G-7 confirmed their intent to “switch sides”, without consulting their DC overlords first!

But wait! Just when you thought DC couldn’t possibly look any more embarrassed and jaded….

Australia decides that it, too, would simply love to be a “founding member” of the AIIB!

With the re-positioning of the geopolitical board happening at literal lightning speed(we’re talking days, not weeks or months), DC has come out swinging:

“U.S. urges allies to think twice before joining China-led bank“

Headlines like that show just how deluded the leadership in DC has grown. With literally 2/3 of Europe’s economy having signed on in a week, things are looking dire for the US hegemon. It has gotten so bad, that DC decided to bring out “the big guns”….

Yes, “tough guy” Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew has now publicly come out, and has cautioned DC lawmakers(read, the world at large), stating:

“I hope before the final commitments are made anyone who lends their name to this organization will make sure that the governance is appropriate!”

Oooooooh, scary, right?

Apparently not! Because now even tiny Luxembourg is jumping ship!

“Luxembourg, are you serious Watchman?”

You betcha! Oh, and don’t forget South Korea and Switzerland! Ya know, just for kicks!

I’ve honestly never seen such a rapid re-positioning of the “chess board” concerning something this serious. I mean, geez, at this rate, your grandmother and local dog-catcher should also be founding members of the AIIB within a fortnight!

Conclusion

For far too long, the banksters in DC abused their privilege of being the world’s lender and superpower. They’ve treated the international community as just an extension of itself, just a 2nd-rate satrap of its imperium. Many nations, including China, who came to the IMF years ago, asking to be part of it(and were told no), are now turning the table, by creating their own mechanisms and institutions. Now the world is begging them to join their banks instead.

In the past 10 years, the BRICS, led by Presidents Putin and Chinese Premieres, have moved to edge out the Western banks in the many areas in which they had leverage. From putting the kibosh on the petro-dollar arrangement, to sucking out as much gold tonnage as possible from the Banking Dragon in the City, to securing their own lines of credit and finance, to establishing their own credit rating agencies, to even building their own alternate, worldwide internet cables…..Russia and China’s “full speed ahead” approach continues to cause serious fits for neo-cons and banksters in the West.

Plutocrats who were counting on Putin being “their man” in Russia, when he was first elected, have been bitten seriously in the tail end. The efforts and preparations being made to replace the loathed system of the Anglo-American banks, are in the advanced stages. The old days of DC & London having all the leverage and all the power(by having all the gold) are gone. London has only now started to realize it, but DC, stuck in the ‘glory days’ of being the world’s unipolar, busybody, still believes it is the only game in town.

It is not!

Remember back in 2014, when the G-7 kicked Russia out of the G-8, and thought themselves mighty clever? Now, just one year later, 4 out of of those 7 countries are tripping over themselves to join this Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank! Brilliant! You sure showed them, G-7!

From the backfire of trying to use the SWIFT system as a political and economic weapon against Russia, to the failure to stop the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and now Australia from joining the China-led AIIB, the “old guard” in DC isn’t having a good year!

There’s a new era coming, a new and better day coming on the other side of all this US Dollar-sponsored terror, and now that even hardcore, G-7 countries are desperate to get on board with the East, and “hedge their bets”, expect this trickle to become a cascade, and then a veritable waterfall, pouring into a river of nations: all running from the nightmare of worldwide, US-Dollar-sponsored terror!

Lastly, I wanna ask our community this:

If this soaring US dollar is a current sign of unbeatable strength, and evidence that the US is truly the strongest and best nation to lead the world in the years ahead….

Why has half the Western world literally abandoned them in the last 72 hours?

I think we all know why…

For decades, DC and London’s favorite, effective tactic was “divide and conquer”, and they used it most ruthlessly.

Ya know what the funny thing is though, about “divide and conquer”, DC?

It works both ways!
