Gen Westley Clark explains how there was a plan to invade and take over 7 countries in 5 years. He was told, “we have a good military AND we can take down governments“…. the plan was revealed to Clark right after we first started bombing Afghanistan and it went like this; Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran.
So far we see progress on this front in Somalia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Lebanon is about to be attacked by Israel. They attempted to overthrow Iran with their fake “Green Revolution” a year ago and still press to this day for air-strikes on them. Libya is the most obvious example of a CIA destabilization program.
What you don’t see on that list are the puppet regimes that have been in turmoil due to real revolutions: Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. Those are the real pro-democracy revolutions and those are the ones that this administration has helped to undermine by either siding with the dictators and monarchs who own those nations or by providing military assistance to quell the uprisings (as is the case in Yemen and probably Bahrain)

thanks for this. But don’t underestimate the force of the resistance movements in those list of countries. The US might look like an advancing hegemonic power, but it’s plans ARE being undermined like in Lebanon and Syria and Palestine. Also the Iraqi resistance is alive and well, US soldiers are dying almost on a daily basis in Iraq, but it’s not reported at all in the MSM.
I would prefer that US soldiers weren’t dying anywhere but populations have a right to resist occupation. Our own revolutionary war and our actions toward the native Americans should have taught us that. My website has been dedicated to trying to end these occupations so that no one is dying by exposing the propaganda used to justify them… and that includes lands that our imperial politicians are targeting and Palestine as well. For that matter I can toss in Pakistan and a few others like Mexico, Haiti, Honduras, Columbia with North Korea on the way. On the local front, it looks like Ohio and Michigan may be next. One of the troubles with inflicting evil on others is that it always finds a way to home.

note that the film clip has clark introducing his comments by saying, “about ten days after 9/11…”
it is no coincidence that the plan to take out seven countries in five years, starting with iraq, followed 9/11, “the new pearl harbor.”
good info via amy goodman…maybe we shouldn’t give up on her totally. maybe someday amy will aspire to become the journalist she pretends to be.
re: “populations have a right to resist occupation…our actions toward the native Americans should have taught us that.”
yes, thanks for noting. to me our oil grab in the middle east looks a whole lot like our land grab in native america.
re: “I would prefer that US soldiers weren’t dying anywhere.”
AMEN to that!
was it cindy sheehan who came up with this?
“support the troops!
bring ‘em home!”
whoever it was…THANKS!
(as posted on my FB site today and relates to article: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0311/52264.html)
Obama’s crime syndicate made it clear who runs this country and it’s not congress or the US citizens. The U.S. didn’t blink when Israel spent 3 weeks bombing Gaza killing 1400 people (900 civilians, 300 children.) Even now when they’re still bombing Gaza, no talk of a UN resolution much less a “no-fly” zone or backing the Palestinians in an insurrection. …The leaders of Saudi Arabia, Barhain and Yemen continue to kill civilian protestors but Obama just says “Now ya’ll play nice!”
Maybe it’s because Libya ‘had’ an independent Central Bank and a nationalised oil company whose profits were being plowed back into the population providing free health and education as well as subsidised housing. All that money going to waste on the middle class and very little if any going to western pockets.
Well those two things were sorted on day 2 (March 19th) when the “loose-knit, localized and factionalized opposition lacking the basic military necessities of command, control and communication” rebels managed to organise themselves and created a new Central Bank and new National Oil company.
I suppose all the billions of dollars that the US seized from Ghadafi and Libya could go into the new bank for use by the newly liberated Libya – but no! Hilary’s going to spend it on rebuilding Japan and arming the Libyan rebels.
It’s a great game! Trump up bullshit charges against a countries leader (WMDs, Osama Bin Laden, Drug Trafficking, killing civilians,- stop me if any of this sounds familiar!) and then use it to justify siezing financial assets and destroying the country’s military defenses, their power and water supplies, their food production and education systems, and blockading supplies of food, water and medicines. Let this simmer for 1 to 10 years until the population think they cannot stand any more then rush in with the full might of the U.S. arsenal to really teach those foreigners a lesson about not playing according to our rules!!!
The U.S. have tried the “insurrection” trick before when the CIA backed a Kurdish uprising after the Gulf War. Having promised the rebels the world, they then reneged and left the unfortunates to Saddam’s (lack of) mercy. If the Libyan rebellion fails, get set for the “Ghadafi Is The Most Evil Person in the World” show as a prelude to a full-scale, professional U.N. (read as U.S.) invasion.
If you don’t like what I’m saying here, don’t blame me. I’m only summarising the facts.
“I would prefer that US soldiers weren’t dying anywhere but populations have a right to resist occupation. Our own revolutionary war and our actions toward the native Americans should have taught us that. My website has been dedicated to trying to end these occupations so that no one is dying by exposing the propaganda used to justify them… and that includes lands that our imperial politicians are targeting”
Yes. I stated earlier that I wish U.S. operations in Libya, would come to the same conclusions as those in Somalia during the incident called “Red hawk Down”. This was wrong. I don’t want to see people injured or killed. I just want the U.S. to leave these countries.
(OFF TOPIC, SOMEWHAT)
Sorry, just gotta get this out.
I see where some religious zealot ASSHOLE, down somewhere in Flordia, while in the saftey of standing on his church propertry, burned a Koran making a public spectacle out of the event and news of this filtered back to Afghanistan where some indiginious people of that country stormed a UN camp and killed 7 (inside the camp) as a result of this Koran burning.
Clearly, this burning of the Koran was a demonstration of a ” OUR GOD IS BETTER THAN YOUR GOD” .
The asshole down in Flordia who committed this act is probably really proud of himsef . But I say he is an ignorant, (not to mention plain stupid) chicken shit coward! He never placed himself at any personal risk in his actions by his choice of location to perform his stupidity. He certainly knew he was relitivly safe from any hostile Muslim reactions.
I am willing to wager that this fellow has in all likelyhood also burned a few crosses in his days also. This cowardly act just REEKS of that type of mentality We all know how truly brave these cross burners ACTUALLY are. DON’T WE !!?
What would be TRULY fucking impressive, and MIGHT even make a believer out of ME, would be, if these Koran burners would take their sorry chicken shit pussy asses on over to Afghanistan, And burn a motherfuckin Koran over there in front of all those Afghan’s. That would be bravery to behold.
I’de start going back to church on Sundays myself after a demonstration like that.
But don’t hold your breath anyone. A hero dies but one time. A chicken shit cowardly Koran burnnin asshole never dies, he causes others however, to do his dyin for him for he lacks the courage to put his phoney faith to any REAL test.
PUSSY ASS MOTHERFUCKER!
Thank you
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-koran-pastor-20110402,0,4120847.story
the above link tells about the Koran burning pastor and his very small congregation…. 7 UN members were killed and
seems the crowd that attacked the UN staffers were also mad at Obama for attacking their country…. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/04/terry-jones-afghan-mob-angry-at-florida-koran-burning-attacks-and-excutes-members-of-un-staff.html
the only sign shown was one against Obama, but the reporter says that protest was mainly about Koran burning… in other words,Obama was not target of protesters…. Oh yaeh?
the UN staffers have been attacked before, but this time the attacking crowd was bigger and very angry
……
Scott Humphrey, just posting links for you
Thank you very much Jan. I had to get that all out.
They (there in Flordia) knew very well the risk’s Koran burning would be upon others that they, there in the safety of Flordia, would not ever have to face. They knew others elswhere woud bear the brunt of the wrath they brought out. In my operating book, that is a cowardly act indeed. COWARDLY!.
Again,,,,thank you.
You’re welcome, Scott.
does make you wonder why they did it now….
And they certainly do not represent Florida Christians… seems their tiny church is non-denomination…. they could be CIA for all we know.
Just trying their best to ignite hate toward Islam.
WE have to understand each other, not fear the difference. Then we will find that we are very much the same.
Are you really going to take the LA Times’ word for it that these two events have a cause and effect relationship when the only sign in the crowd denounced America and Obama, as Jan pointed out, and none that said anything about the Koran or the idiot pastor.
This is the only other source cited. “Tonight, the governor of Balkh province, of which Mazar-i-Sharif is the capital, is telling the international media that the men who sacked the UN compound were Taliban infiltrators. That’s rubbish,” wrote (Ura) Moore, who is described on the site as an international development professional based in Afghanistan.”
If a reputable Arabic speaking source can confirm the nature of the protest, then and only then, might it be appropriate to express an outrage that encompasses both events. Otherwise it might be safer to assume a disinfo op used to take the attention away from the real sources of their anger and protest… and we should keep our condemnations of either act separate.
Shawn, hello. Ahh,,,it appears here that your possibly implying that the attack on the UN compound was NOT related the Koran burnning but rather, just a random attack???
Since i stopped watching ALL television, completely, 2 1/2 years ago, I don’t know what is being reported on the major network news relitive to this situation. So therefore sir, im not in any position to argu with you over your points stated above., so i wont. Someone else will have to bring forth argument to counter what i THINK, your implying. It would be helpfull indeed if you could submit some clairification to your above post.
For the sake of argument, lets assume for a moment, that the UN attack has no connection to the Koran burnning. So now, in this new context, how usefull to the cause we represent is it to make a public spectacle of a Koran burnning that is receiving national news coverage? Millitairly, this serves no usefull purpose. On the personal level, it may only incite a response that furthers the new wave of hatred sweeping accross the USA.
The Koran burnning occured in Gainville Flordia far removed from the Afghan battle field. This ignorant redneck hillbilly kracker self proclaimed preacher can say or do anything relitive to furthering the wave of hatred he desires to pursue and he can be relitivly assured he wont have to face a Millitant muslim response he would face, IF,,he took his hatred for muslims and travled over to Afghanistan and did his Koran burnning THERE? We may reasonable assume this fool would never leave Afghanistan ALIVE. So,,,just how brave is this fool?
And by WHAT AUTHORITY, does he possess, to assume the right to make sich an adjudication upon the Muslim faith at large? (they held some sort of in house determination with a finding of guilt) Does this chicken shit punk think he is the fucking Pope?
Appearrently so.
So this,,,,,,,,asshole decides to wage some kind of war there, in the relitive saftey of his church property there in Gainsville. But the battlefield is NOT in GainsvilleFflordia, it’s in Afghanistan. So by not taking any of the risk associated with being in any combat zone, but rather, in a place where there is practiclly NO risk., and last summer he was told that a public koran burnning would have possible serious repercussions upon those serving there in Afghanistan yet, he went ahead and burned a Koran anyway.
But now, This pussy ass chicken shit motherfucker don’t have to face any real personal risk for his conduct., now does he? But ill bet he’s now packin heat, ready to bust some caps for Jesus! Actually, ill bet he’s too chicken shit to even go out freely now without some sort of security detail .Ill bet all those boys who wear the white hoods there , are on a high alert. Wouldn’t suprise me none if there was a cross burnning tonight somewhere around the Gainville area.
.
Why hasn’t the church condemn this guy and his un-religious cult? The least it could do is disown him and his ‘teachings’, ignorance and hatred.
Imagine for just one moment if an (Iranian) Muslim did that to the Jewish Holy Book … how minutes before Netenyahoo nukes the Islamic Republic?
@Shawn – thanks for the reality check. I’m fairly good at taking everything the media posts with a barrow full of salt but then just assumed they were correct about the link between the Koran burning and the protest. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.
What I certainly don’t accept is that the UN personnel were just set upon by an angry mob. Many reports stated that everything was “peaceful” until the security forces started shooting “in the air.” I can imagine what would have happened if one those guards decided to shoot into the crowd and if that did happen, anyone who died inside after that was collateral damage to that guard’s mistake.
Regardless of what happened, the incident will be used to justify more of the same from “The Peace Prize” President’s stormtroopers.
