Thanks Patriarch.

President Obama Has Become The New “Lord Of War”:  Send More Weapons,  Fighter Planes,  Special Forces into Iraq to Destroy American Weapons of War Previously  Given To The Failed Iraqi Army/Govt.

Last night, you saw President Obama’s reluctant, flimsy insistence that America must go in to Iraq for the fourth time in order to save the Kurds, Christians, and Yazidi [minority group].  These rehearsed reasons for yet another involvement in the Iraq War,  now spanning more than a decade of continuous American failures and self-inflicted wounds, is neither convincing nor compelling.

For over five years, I have been warning of Christians being slaughtered all over the Middle East, Obama has taken that shibboleth of religious protection and ‘humanitarian concern’ in order to justify sending more drones; jet fighters; and ‘American military advisors in order to assist the non-existent Iraqi government’.  However, what Obama and his military/intelligence minions have forgotten to underline is that the newly CIA created threat: ISIS—has secunded the highly valued military equipment that the USA had already sent to the dysfunctional Iraqi Military.  Obama and his inept White House sycophants have violated the most basic principle of Nicolas Cage’s brilliant portrayal of a composite ‘merchant of death’ in the timeless 2005 movie entitled, “Lord of War”,  directed and written by Andrew Niccol.

Above all else, the “Lord of War’ emphatically states that:
“Never, but never, GET SHOT WITH OUR MERCHANDISE.”

How is this relevant to today’s headlines?
[1]  USA/Israel supplies Iraq,  Kurds and ISIS groups with all types of weapons.  As mentioned in previous blogs,  ISIS is a “Frankenstein Creation of our Self-Immolating CIA” and it’s military cohorts.

[2]  CIA has ‘vetted’ ‘moderate’ terrorists to fight against the Syrian Regime of Dr Bashar Assad who has for four years protected the Christians, Jews, Druze and Shi’ites.

Of course, Obama and his tightly ignorant group of White House advisors who also advocated intervening in Libya in order to ‘avoid a genocide’ [recall Susan Rice, Clinton, Samantha Power] is now going into Iraq in order to ‘prevent another impending genocide’ of the Yazidis .

[3]  Again, Obama has violated another precept of the “Lord of War’:

“Never go to war especially with yourself!”

Yet we have been doing nothing but going to war against ourselves starting from the Bush Jr/Cheney attack against Americans (WTC) in order to go against the non-existent WMD which we did not supply to Sadam Hussein.  But we then used weapons against Sadam’s American made weapons in order to create a complete state of chaos in Iraq.

After that we sent even more weapons to a non-coalition Govt of Maliki who was supported by Iran and fought with Iran against our own weapons supplied to the Sunni Soldiers who had defected initially from Sadam’s military –thanks to Bremer and Slocombe.

Are you getting this incredible circular absurdity that we call ‘justifiable wars’ in order to protect the world and America against the very Sunni Terrorists that we and Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Turkey helped to create.

What is the solution to the increasing military mess that our incompetent Presidents and their toadies have incurred throughout the Middle East?

▪ Let Israel defend the Peshmerga,  since Barzanagi and the Kurds are Jewish and have been part of Israel’s Seventy Year old strategic line of defense initiated in the 1930’s by Ben Gurion.

▪ Insist that our miscreant allies—Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Gulf States— stop funding the CIA initiated and nurtured Sunni ‘terrorist’ groups.

▪ Stop supporting ‘moderate terrorist groups’ in Syria.

▪ Let Iran handle the problems of the Iranian-dominated Iraq situation.  The Islamic Revolutionary Guard is far more effective and more experienced in combatting ISIS than our meager SOF.

▪ Let Turkey intervene into the ‘humanitarian crisis’.

In other words, we, Americans have no national security interests in any part of the Middle East or Ukraine.  At present,  another impending war is developing in the Far East and China watches with bemusement as they monitor our “Lord Of War” destroy itself in this imbroglio called the Middle East.  Even Alexander the Great realized that he could never conquer that region. 

Since we are a very mercantile nation,  really concerned about our business interests in the Middle East,  let us remember the final dictum of the Lord of War:

“Failing everything else, make certain that we have a foolproof way of getting paid for our armaments and ship to all warring sides.”  Obama: if you don’t know how to get that money,  just ask our retired three and four stars generals and admirals,  they will be more than happy to show you.  These retirees are there fighting on any side that will pay them as long as they still receive their six figure American pensions for having screwed up yet another war in the Middle East.

Chief “Choirboy” DCI John Brennan  Lies During Confession to the American People and Commits “Major Sins/Crimes” Against The Holy Church Of America!

John Brennan should be fired and tried for crimes against the state! CIA needs a major house cleaning.  The dynamics of narcissism and greed rarely lie or deviate.

What do I mean?
I have been writing for several years about the sanctimonious ‘choirboy’ John Brennan,  an acolyte of the nefarious, ignoble former DCI George Tenet (see earlier post)  insisting this Brennan is a cowardly,  Machiavellian,  duplicitous traitor to America.  When he was a Special Assistant to CIA asset, George W. Bush  and then worked for another CIA asset Obama,  Brennan had already violated more domestic and foreign laws by assisting in the illegal assassination of innocent people in the WTC,  then in the drone wars in Iraq, Pakistan Afghanistan, Somalia,  Sudan etc.

What then are the lessons that we,  Americans should learn from this history of unending CIA travesties against the USA and the world?

[1]  The CIA is completely BROKEN and not effective, despite their myth-making movies to the contrary.  Remember taxpayers: you are funding that nonsense they produce.

[2]  The USA has over sixteen different intelligence agencies,  the CIA has become the least effective and the most bloated of them all.

[3] CIA has repeatedly failed to predict any major world-wide events such as the impending chaos of the Middle East;  and, instead has forced the USA to concentrate major assets on a non-existing “War On Terror”.

[4] In a world where cyber-attacks have become the major threat, do we really need a civilian agency that has not been tasked to develop the electronic capabilities that the NSA has already implemented and utilized in an overzealous fashion?

[5] Do we need the CIA to run covert operations using Special Forces units seconded to the agency when in fact the proper purview of the SOF belongs to the Military Command C4 structure and not  Special Operation Low Intensity Conflict –SOLIC OFFICE IN THE CIA.

You get my drift by now…

With the advent of yet another civilian agency after 9/11-DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE--- either the CIA has to be abolished or the DNI has to go.  Certainly,  Americans really don’t need two redundant civilian intelligence agencies.   Most of our Presidents who had served in the military,  namely Gen. Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter [Naval Submarine],  and Nixon [Army] understood that the CIA was a complete travesty of efficiency, accountability and utility.

Ike reprimanded Allen Dulles,  the DCI warning him to cease and desist CIA activities lest they continue to leave a “LEGACY OF ASHES”.  Carter under the guidance of Adm. Stanfield Turner,  literally fired 4000 CIA operatives and re-assigned State Dept Political Officers and Military Intel officers to take over the CIA functions.  Nixon never trusted the CIA and had control points of selected individuals inserted in the agency to monitor the CIA activities.

It’s time to heed the warnings of Senator Mark Udall of Colorado as well as his distinguished family members who have insisted for over 40 years that the CIA activities have ‘been illegal’ and that ‘John Brennan’ should be fired’ and I will add, indicted.

The present CIA really does not exist as it was originally constituted some sixty years ago.  It is no longer staffed by dedicated Americans who want to serve the country.  Instead we have close to 60-80% of the CIA functions out-sourced to the Military-Industrial complex with ‘consultants’ who can be ‘hired and fired’ at will.

It’s time for America to insist that the CIA be abolished, or at least reorganized under the auspices of a president who was not trained and nurtured by the CIA like Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr and Obama.

If we don’t elect those who are beholden to the CIA , then Americans might have a chance to develop a more effective, accountable intelligence agency that serves the citizens and the republic of the USA rather than the monetary interests of Booz Allen, L3, SAIC, Mitre, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon etc.  Please understand that if Hillary or Jeb are elected, we will still have the same old problems.  Please vet out our Presidential candidates first then we can deal with the next iteration of a new CIA…. If there is to be one.  

And Congress!  Grow some!  Do some work for your bloated salaries! You are supposed to represent the people but you have done nothing to contain this cancer!  The CIA is wasting valuable resources (as in our tax dollars) that could be going toward building our country’s economic future for the information age.

Some have you have asked about how Popular Mechanics (Hearst Corp) magazine helped to further promote the 9/11 lie.  Here is some background....by Jim Hoffman

I was glad to see this,  good summary of the TRUTH regarding the inside crime of 9/11.  If you haven't seen the architect's video,  that is worth the watch.

Hamas Implements New Fighting Modus Operandi: “360-degree Front” Using “Tunnel Warfare” as an Operational Mode!
Presently,  IDF is unable to obtain military victory.  Despite a major preponderance of fire power and military superiority,  the IDF has discovered after almost four weeks of fighting in Gaza that MILITARY VICTORY IS ELUSIVE!
Why?

Hamas have learned to use underground tunnels as an operational mode of fighting.  In the NYTimes Article,  Aug.1, 2014, entitled “In Tunnel War,  Israeli Playbook Offers Few Ideas”, by Isabel Kershner (posted earlier),  she describes the following scenarios:

“Hamas has changed doctrine [from avoiding confrontations, my addition] and is using TUNNELS as a main method of operation”…..”Of the 32 fortified tunnels that Israeli military has exposed so far,  at least 11 run deep beneath the border into Israeli territory, others are part of an underground labyrinth inside Gaza connecting buildings, weapons stores and concealed rocket launchers.”

“…. Hamas gunmen who vanished from one house like magicians and suddenly popped up to fire at them from another. ….. ISRAELI  SOLDIERS  FIND THEMSELVES HAVING TO…. IMPROVISE”.

Improvise? That’s not a credible explanation for the IDF which has monitored the tunnels and military activities for years. 

What does the IDF improvisation really mean?

For the IDF this incursion into Gaza has been the third one in five years.   Unlike the previous conflicts where Hamas fighters no longer “merge into the crowded urban-landscape.  This time they were prepared for combat.”

What then does the IDF have to do in this type of ‘360-degree front’?

The IDF has to go house to house and check.  They continue to assault suspected Hamas neighborhoods with heavy artillery; creating large numbers of civilian casualties in the process.  According to a senior Israeli official,  Hamas ‘has raised its willingness to sacrifice its civilians to an art form.’  Yet the IDF still relies on an unproven military tenet called ’the DAHIYA DOCTRINE.’   The Dahiya Doctrine refers to the 2006 IDF Invasion of Lebanon,  attempting to knock out the command-and-control center of Hezbollah.  Ironically,  despite the fact that the IDF LOST that war and had to be bailed out by Condi Rice, then Sec State, the IDF mistakenly thinks that the Dahiya Doctrine is still applicable to Hamas.  The problem for the IDF is that Hamas has no centralized command and control area.  If anything,  the military arm of Hamas (The Al Qassam Brigade) is physically and psychologically separated from its ostensible titular head in Qatar,  Khaled Meshaal [a former physicist/ teacher]. 

The real question is what does Israel want? considering that they will not achieve a military victory.

No,  the IDF will never destroy all the tunnels and if the IDF thinks that they can vanquish Hamas….

I would answer by quoting the outgoing Director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency,  Lt-Gen. Michael Flynn:  “… if HAMAS WERE DESTROYED, THE REGION WOULD END UP WITH SOMETHING MUCH WORSE!”  or allow me to quote Friedrich Nietzsche “When the Gods are cruel they granted your wishes".

Why would Gen. Flynn say such a thing?

In 2009,  Hamas attacked the Salafist-Jihadist Group,  JUND ANSAR ALLAH, which had declared an emirate in Gaza.  Hamas immediately ATTACKED and destroyed the rajah Mosque thus destroying a far more lethal, extremist jihadist group. [if one can believe that such a thing exists] !!  Hamas KILLED 22 JUND ANSAR ALLAH members including its leader. 

Israel be careful!!  Tread lightly on this so-called ‘terrorist group Hamas’  because they are like the preying mantis, they maintain the proper eco system of violence and terror in the Gaza strip.  I think that Israel can live with Hamas.  The  consequences could be much worse for everyone.
