Hi everyone, it has been a while. I want to share with you something that a friend recently told me about, and I GUARANTEE that the vast majority of you have never heard about it just like I hadn’t, and it will blow your frickin mind!
The Deep Web (also called Deepnet, the invisible Web, DarkNet, Undernet or the hidden Web) refers to World Wide Web content that is not part of the Surface Web, which is indexed by standard search engines.
In 2000, it was estimated that the deep Web contained approximately 7,500 terabytes of data and 550 billion individual documents.[2] Estimates based on extrapolations from a study done at University of California, Berkeley speculate that the deep Web consists of about 91,000 terabytes. By contrast, the surface Web (which is easily reached by search engines) is about 167 terabytes[dubious – discuss]; the Library of Congress, in 1997, was estimated to have 3,000 terabytes.
At this stage I was really intrigued, and started doing some more searching.
Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy.
Individuals use Tor to keep websites from tracking them and their family members, or to connect to news sites, instant messaging services, or the like when these are blocked by their local Internet providers. Tor's hidden services let users publish web sites and other services without needing to reveal the location of the site. Individuals also use Tor for socially sensitive communication: chat rooms and web forums for rape and abuse survivors, or people with illnesses.
Journalists use Tor to communicate more safely with whistleblowers and dissidents. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) use Tor to allow their workers to connect to their home website while they're in a foreign country, without notifying everybody nearby that they're working with that organization.
All the buzz about Wikileaks over the last year, and not once did I hear this mentioned, but it is obviously very well known about as there are huge communities out there and also companies who are working on indexing it all.
.onion is a pseudo-top-level domain host suffix (similar in concept to such endings as .bitnet and .uucp used in earlier times) designating an anonymous hidden service reachable via the Tor network. Such addresses are not actual DNS names, and the .onion TLD is not in the Internet DNS root, but with the appropriate proxy software installed, Internet programs such as Web browsers can access sites with .onion addresses by sending the request through the network of Tor servers. The purpose of using such a system is to make both the information provider and the person accessing the information more difficult to trace, whether by one another, by an intermediate network host, or by an outsider.
Addresses in the .onion pseudo-TLD are opaque, non-mnemonic, 16-character alpha-semi-numeric hashes which are automatically generated based on a public key when a hidden service is configured. These 16-character hashes can be made up of any letter of the alphabet, and decimal digits beginning with 2 and ending with 7, thus representing an 80-bit number in base32.
The "onion" name refers to onion routing, the technique used by Tor to achieve a degree of anonymity.
A few examples of .onion hosts are: • Tor: anonymity online, gateway to torproject.org • House of Anonymous, an anonymous manifesto • THE LOVEZONE - CHAT - SAFETY-101, identity safety guidelines • Tor network search - Torgle v3, a search engine and service index • Freedom Hosting, free hidden web hosting with PHP and MySQL • The Tor Library, small library of books in PDF and other common formats • talk.masked, an anon-post board
This has really got me thinking and contemplating how to move forward with this. Can you imagine the wealth of information out there and the possibilities? It is like a new frontier.
Companies like Google are now trying to index this material, why? To provide everyone with access to all information just as it should be or to make sure that people can’t store away hidden information In the first place?
If you are one to jump right in, take heed of the following:
Want Tor to really work?
...then please don't just install it and go on. You need to change some of your habits, and reconfigure your software! Tor by itself is NOT all you need to maintain your anonymity. There are several major pitfalls to watch out for:
Also think about the mentality of people who are already settled in on the ‘Deep Web’. They are more than likely advanced computer users and the risk that is showing itself to me at the minute is the risk of hacking etc.
I was delighted to see the page views jump quite dramatically in the last few days, it's good to know that there are other people out there who are interested in these types of subjects.
I would love it if someone got involved and gave me some comments or had a discussion. I suppose the main goal for me is to use the blog to collect a variety of reference material for people to read/watch.
Anyways, just a quick update seeing as well as I have nearly finished posting my key pieces which I have had floating around for a while now. That means that I am going to have to start getting more material written down and researched, but that takes time, something I haven't got a great deal of right now due to other commitments.
So i hope you stick with me whilst I am doing this, it will take time but hopefully it will be worth it. Below are some specific blogs i want to write followed by some more generic topics I haven't really covered yet.

How much did this article cheer me up on a Saturday afternoon! I forget at times that most of my freedom of choice has been taken away from me, and it is good to be reminded every now and then that the bloodsucking corporations will soon have a hold on everything, so not only will I have to pay them for the basic necessities of life; Food, Water, Warmth & Shelter, but they will charge an exponential amount of money to do so!!!
It really makes me feel happy to be alive in this world of free, competitive trade, capitalism and globalisation. Who would want to live in the renaissance, the wild west or any other time when life was simple?
The American revolutionaries gave their lives for a future in which each man would have the freedom to make his own choices. That dream has come true in the form of supermarket aisles that contain 50 different cereals with the word "oat" in their name, five marshmallow based cereals with a monster theme and 12 different varieties of Cheerios alone.
What would you say if I told you that dream was a lie? That all these brands you think you're picking and choosing between are all sock puppets on the many tentacles of a few, lesser known companies?
I don't know what you would say, but we're about to find out.
Luxottica Makes All Your Sunglasses
Remember back when you watched The Matrix for the first time and ran down to the store to buy sunglasses and a trench coat? There were so many sunglass brands to choose from: Oakley, Ray-Ban, Revo, Vogue, DKNY, and if you must have only the best, $500 designer glasses from Prada and BVLGARI (which has that V-instead-of-a-U thing, so you know it's classy like ancient Rome).
The thing is, all of those are made by one manufacturer -- Luxottica.
Menu Foods: The Shadow Behind Your Cat Food
If you are a cat or dog, you will remember the infamous pet food recall of 2007, where thousands of your kind died due to melamine contamination. For a time it seemed like no brand was safe. Word spread through the cat community to turn up their noses at food even more than usual.
How could so many brands (about 150) happen to get contaminated at the same time? Well, because most of them were made by the same company.
When You Eat Corn, You Are Eating Monsanto (TM)
Like an omnipresent starchy deity, corn is everywhere. Savvy consumers know that it doesn't just stop at corn on the cob. Word has gotten out that corn syrup turns up in almost every candy and soda, and is as addictive as crack. But how about Febreze? Hand sanitizers? Ethanol car fuel? That's all corn, too. Making rubber tires? You'll need corn starch. Spark plugs? Corn. Drywall? Corn. You can't build a car or a house without corn.
Whether You're a Mac or a PC, You're Probably a Quanta
Taiwan's Quanta Computer makes 33 percent of all laptops in the world, including Dells, HPs, Sonys, Toshibas and yes, Macs.
In fact, if you're reading this on a laptop, there's a 90 percent chance it was manufactured by one of seven giant companies you've never heard of, all located in Taiwan. None of the brands you know and love actually makes computers. Fortunately, Taiwan is a pretty laid back country where almost nothing ever goes wrong.
Max Martin Has a Monopoly on Annoying Songs
If you've ever complained that all pop music these days sounds alike, you may have a point, considering how many songs were written by the same guy. His name is Max Martin, and you probably hate him without knowing it.
InBev: The Imported Beer Barons
Well, as you've probably guessed, every beer you've ever bought in a store was probably made by the beer empire of InBev, along with Stella Artois, Alexander Keith's, Bass, Beck's, Boddington's, Lowenbrau, Rolling Rock, St. Pauli Girl and Spaten. Those are just the brands they own outright. They also have majority stakes in companies like Grupo Modelo, which makes most of the beers in Mexico -- Corona, Modelo, Pacifico.
In a world where 1% of the population own 40% of the wealth, and where 10% own 80+% of the wealth you gotta start to ask yourself certain questions...
...Like why did it take a burns victim in Tunisia to wake people up from what is happening right under their noses?
New reports coming out of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where many of the top leaders of banking, finance, industry and politics gather every year, are showing great concern over the unprecedented events now threatening to plunge the entire Middle East, if not the entire planet, into total chaos and anarchy. The spark that ignited the firestorm currently sweeping the planet was struck, literally, by a 26-year-old Tunisian with a computer science degree named Mohamed Bouaziziwho on December 17th, who unable to feed his family, and not allowed by his government to even get a permit to sell vegetables, had his face slapped by the police for even daring to ask why he couldn’t be free.
Not content to let his life be written off by his government as worthless, Bouazizi publicly doused himself with gasoline, lit a match, and burnt not only his own body, but the entire consciousness of a world, and its people, being destroyed by the corrupt elites who rule over them.
In less than a month, on January 14th, the fire started by this 26-year-old Tunisian had burnt to the ground the entire government of his country which was forced to resign and its president-for-life, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who was forced to flee the country. The people’s coup in Tunisia, called the Jasmine Revolution, sent shockwaves throughout the Arab world, but with many experts stating that it wouldn’t spread. They couldn’t have been more mistaken as the firestorm started by Bouazizi is now burning in Albania, Algeria, Egypt, Hungary, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
People aren't too pleased when they can't afford to eat funnily enough, and the whole worlds hungry right now. I'm not looking forward to how its gonna end, crash diets are never good for the system.
I came across this the other day and wondered if anybody else has come across it. It is a passage by Carl Jung; I have had it for a while and never read it. I was just having a glimpse just now and found a mysterious anagram at the bottom of the transcript. I have run a few searches to find the meaning, but it appears that it has never been solved! I thought that was a little strange seeing as it is nearly 100 years old!
Anyway, there are lots of websites with this transcript on along with the anagram but no more information after that. All I know is that it is German. Here is the anagram:
A commentary upon the work was written by the gnostic bishop Stephan A. Hoeller. When bishop Hoeller inquired with the editor of The Red Book, Sonu Shamdasani, in mid 2009 about the relationship of the two books, Shamdasani said that the Seven Sermons was like an island, but the Red Book is like a vast continent.
Here is Carl Jungs’ Wiki Page for those interested:
Here is a Wiki Page for Jungs’ most recently published work, which has been kept private for nearly a century and which I believe contains this transcript:
I thought I would post this just to share as well as hopefully getting some help on its meaning! I will be looking into a bit more but someone out there reading this might already know a lot more than me!
I hope to get some feedback off some of you guys soon, let me know how you think the blog is going.
Now it became apparent a long way into the war in Iraq that large government contractors such as Blackwater & Halliburton etc. were making huge amounts of money from reconstruction projects. It never became apparent to me that this was the REASON for the war, until I found out a bit more about global capitalism and free trade agreements, and the general Globalisation Agenda.
Now the key thing to remember if you pick up anything at all from this thread are:
It is all about the money. Following the money will lead to the truth.
Governments and Banks like to ‘Pretend to Fail’.
Though you are conditioned to believe countries and nations are in competition with each other and are even enemies; this is a lie. There are no enemies in globalisation; everyone is in fact friends.
Now this is where you really have to go to another link, because there is just that much good information and EVIDENCE that it would not be efficient to replicate it all here.
The reason this thread is so important is that this FRAUD is still happening now, today, and will continue to occur until it is somehow interrupted. The evidence is offered on a platter, and this time they are relying on us not noticing it is happening, because as soon as we do realise, the troops leave, and it is game over.
This time they do not have to worry about going to prison, because the governments are all in pocket, it is no longer cloak and dagger, just exploitation. Think about the illegal Coltan trade in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and think that on a truly GLOBAL scale. It is happening, you just never realised it yet!
Enough, time for you to take control and realise once and for all that you are being lied to, but you can stop it:
I think we have all expected or shall we say considered the fact for an ulterior motive for the war in Afghanistan for a very long time now. It is something that I definitely do not agree with, though I often bite my tongue when in conversations on the matter as there are a lot of people who have lost friends and family members to this war and to the different armed services.
I know think however that the truth will start to become more apparent. There are signs of investment now appearing such as there was post-Iraq invasion, including construction contracts etc. When considering the Afghan war there are a few questions I have asked myself a few times which help me get some perspective. A few of these are:
• Is it really feasible that we would go to so much expense (Human more than monetary), to protect ourselves from a threat that seems almost non-existent?
The most troubled areas seem to be Pakistan and India, and most of the ‘terrorism’ in Britain seems to originate from these areas.
• Is it really feasible that there is a very dangerous man and a group of loyal militants who are plotting to destroy the entire western civilisation?
The majority of us believe that Osama Bin Laden is dead, and that the Taliban was in fact first founded to stave off the Russian invasion is Afghanistan to begin with, which brings me onto my next couple of points.
• If the might of the Russian army couldn’t break the back of Afghanistan in a decade, what do we feel we can do different?
I fail to see how under stringent budget cuts, harsher conditions, and a better supplied enemy, we feel we can do better than what the Russians did.
• Where are the ‘enemy’ getting their arms from?
There is definitely a supply keeping the enemy going, It can only be presumed that this is happening at a very high level.
• Why has the Poppy yield not decreased?
I have not yet seen any evidence indicating that the yield has decreased, if anything I believe it could be found that the opposite is true, at least for the first few years since the invasion.
I could go on with my question & answers, but I think I have made my point for now. By asking these simple questions and then looking for the answer, it would seem that all the evidence amounts to what we all agree anyway, that the war is failing miserably, or its targets are different to what we are being told. Take a look at the following links, make a few searches for the keywords listed yourself, and see if anything seems to make any more sense:
This is what it was all about in the first place, do things really change? Do we really learn from our mistakes? Or is the ego, and the desire to be dominant instead of merely sustainable, the real force that makes the World go round.
Trade routes are things that have powered civilisations for years, and in time of a crisis and a lock down, whoever has the access to the natural stuff, be it minerals, oil, gas or crops, is the one who is going to come out on top.
Reinhardt is quite a peculiar fellow and has appeared in many threads on ATS. Whatever people may think, he certainly provides a very unique economic perspective on things and he is adamant that investment in foreign infrastructure in the main game when it comes to big money hitters. The name of the game is Enterprise Corruption, and it has been seen over and over again in history, Afghanistan is just the latest instalment.
One of the most promising ways forward for the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan is to focus on removing the impediments to continental transport and trade across Afghanistan‘s territory. Many existing international initiatives from the Mediterranean to the Indian sub-continent and Southeast Asia are already bringing parts of this network into being. Absent is the overall prioritization, coordination, and risk management that will enable Afghanistan to emerge as a natural hub and transit point for roads, railroads, pipelines, and electric lines. America and its coalition partners can provide these missing ingredients.
Hmm, what about our security and helping the Afghan people? Or are they just a means to an end? I have downloaded the Ebook available, I am sure it would be a very interesting read.
Have a go yourself, search for the above as well as the following in regards to Afghanistan, particular noting dates of headlines and Web Pages and try and see the correlations to them and the military presence. The result is a very interesting timeline:
INVESTMENT RAILROADS HIGHWAYS PIPELINES MINERALS
And keep a very close eye on the markets within the next six months. Not long after that the first corruption charges will be under investigation and that’s when we really know that it will be a long, long time before the troops will really be coming home.
FOLLOW THE MONEY, FIND THE TRUTH.
What impact does this have on the troop movements?
Farmers in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand, the source of around 90 percent of the world's opium, agreed the harvest will fall this year. The farmers and other experts cited high rainfall in some areas, drought in others, free seeds for alternatives such as wheat and good prices for food crops, and a mysterious disease withering poppies in some areas.
Antonio Maria Costa, head of the UNODC, told the BBC that Afghanistan's 2010 opium output could fall by up to 25 per cent, thanks to the disease, a fungus that could have infected about half of the total poppy crop.
UNODC said opium output was down by 10 per cent in 2009 to 6,900 tonnes, but yield rose 15 per cent because farmers extracted more opium per bulb. Production far outstripped annual world demand of 5,000 tonnes, it said, with stockpiles of opium estimated at 10,000 tonnes as cartels hoarded in an effort to push up prices that had fallen by 30 per cent in a year. Stockpiles were equal to two years' supply of heroin for addicts, or three years of morphine for medical use, it said.
If opium is the talibans main source of income, the wise thing would be to cut out that funding. Is the mystery fungus a coincidence?
Or is this just a gimmick, and the taliban is being supplied by some other means? Their equipment is getting more advanced all the time, so WHERE IS IT COMING FROM & HOW IS IT BEING PAYED FOR!?
How many headlines read 'ITS NOT OUR WAR'?. And how many responses include the words 'National, Security'?
Has it not been said the biggest threat is from Domestic Terrorism?
There is plenty, plenty more of this information out there, and with WikiLeaks hot on the case now, there is a better chance than ever for the first time in history that this Con is brought to light.
Ashraf Ghani is the guy quoted in the first of the three images above. Take a look at some of his credentials and what he has managed to pull off in recent history:
His academic research was on state-building and social transformations.
He joined the World Bank in 1991, working on projects in East Asia and South Asia until the mid 1990s. In 1996, he pioneered the application of institutional and organizational analysis to macro processes of change and reform, working directly on the adjustment program of the Russian coal industry and carrying out reviews of the Bank’s country assistance strategies and structural adjustment programs globally. He spent five years each in China, India, and Russia managing large-scale development and institutional transformation projects. He had worked intensively with the media during the first Gulf War, commenting on major radio and television programs and being interviewed by newspapers.
After 9/11, he took leave without pay from the World Bank and engaged in intensive interaction with the media, appearing regularly on PBS’s News Hour as well as BBC, CNN, other television programs, the BBC, Public Radio, other radios, and writing for major newspapers. In November 2002, he accepted an appointment as a Special Advisor to the United Nations and assisted Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, the Special Representative of the Secretary General to Afghanistan, to prepare the Bonn Agreement, the process and document that provided the basis of transfer of power to the people of Afghanistan.
Returning after 24 years to Afghanistan in December 2001, he resigned from his posts at the UN and World Bank to join the Afghan government as the chief advisor to President Hamid Karzai on February 1, 2002.
As Chancellor of the University, he worked to institute a style of participatory governance among the faculty, students, and staff, Textadvocating a vision of the university where men and women with skills and commitment to lead their country in the age of globalization can be trained.
Since leaving the university, Dr. Ghani has co-founded the Institute for State Effectiveness, of which he is Chairman. The Institute has put forward a framework which proposes that the state should perform ten functions in the contemporary world in order to serve its citizens. This framework was discussed by leaders and managers of post-conflict transitions at a meeting sponsored by the UN and World Bank at the Greentree Estates in September 2005.
On March 31, 2004, he presented a seven-year program of public investment called Securing Afghanistan’s Future to an international conference in Berlin attended by 65 finance and foreign ministers. Described as the most comprehensive program ever prepared and presented by a poor country to the international community, Securing Afghanistan’s Future was prepared by a team of 100 experts working under the supervision of a committee chaired by Mr. Ghani. The concept of a double-compact, between the donors and the government of Afghanistan on the one hand and between the government and people of Afghanistan on the other, underpinned the program of investment in Securing Afghanistan’s Future. The donors pledged $8.2 billion at the conference for the first three years of the program –- the exact amount asked by the government -- and agreed that the government’s request for a total seven-year package of assistance of $27.5 billion was justified.
This Agenda was created for the conference on 31st March 2004 which we can see from the post above resulted in the MASSIVE investment package into Afghanistan.
Now there may be nothing untoward in it, but lets look at it this way:
It promotes Globalisation.
Most of the heads were from the World Bank and the UN.
It provides a reason for occupancy: MONEY.
It describes Minerals, Railroads and Trade, just like what I posted above
I have no objection to promoting the growth of underprivileged nations. If you take time to look at the figures in this document, the progress of Afghanistan is Phenomenal, UNBELIEVABLE in fact. The point I have been trying to make is that it has been gone about in completely the wrong way.
WE used a War on terrorism to support an invasion of than Nation, with our Governments and corporations only interest being to make money and exert control. That is the bottom line of it. Now because it is harder than anticipated, our soldiers are dying, and will continue to do so, until a return on investment is achieved.
Anyone who has been involved in project management will see everything for what it is, a project. It has stakeholders, Investors, profits/losses risks, steering groups, the works.
Yes we are helping the nation in a sense, but we are also condemning it to a life of perpetual debt and Western Socialism and all our other irrelevant values.
New Silk Road Built by China Connects Asia to Latin America
The high-speed rail link China Railway Construction Corp. is building in Saudi Arabia doesn’t just connect the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. It shows how Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America are holding the world economy together.
Ties between emerging markets form what economists at HSBC Holdings Plc and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc call the “new Silk Road” -- a $2.8-trillion version of the Asian-focused network of trade routes along which commerce prospered starting in about the second century.
ASIA DEVELOPMENT BANK
This stuff is too good to be true, its history repeating itself! This sums up everything I have been talking about in this thread; Our troops, The Bankers, Corruption.
Afghanistan's central bank has stepped in to take control of the troubled Kabul Bank. Central bank chief Abdul Qadir Fitrat said investigations had also been started into the dealings of the bank's top two directors and shareholders.
(Reuters) - Afghanistan's ailing Kabulbank paid its top two directors and shareholders, currently under investigation for banking fraud, $500,000 each in bonuses in 2009, according to an independent audit earlier this year.
"Historically, Afghans have regarded railways with suspicion. But now the government is embracing a plan that could help the country tap into global markets, delivering prosperity and even peace", says Afghanistan’s revolution on the rails, an article by Jonathan Gornall at UAE newspaper The National. It includes some interesting comments from railway consultant David Brice, who is working in Afghanistan:
On 16 June 2010 Asian Development Bank approved a further USD700 000 from its Technical Assistance Special Fund for:
A study on railway development for Afghanistan completed for the following routes: (i) From Hairatan at the border with Uzbekistan to Heart [Herat] in the west, via Mazar-e-Sharif; (ii) from Shirkhan Bendar at the border with Tajikistan, via Kunduz to Naibabad [which is on the line under construction from Hayratan] joining Mazar-e-Sharif to Heart; (iii) from Torkham at the border with Pakistan to Jalalabad; and (iv) Spainboldak at the border with Pakistan to Kandahar.
After nearly a century, a modern Afghan railroad is under construction reports CNN. "“This connects Afghanistan to the world,” says an 18-year-old high school student named Shakrullah. He says he hopes to one day get a job as an engineer for the railroad. “I want trains for all the provinces of Afghanistan, not just for Balkh province.”"
How could China build a $7 BILLION dollar railroad through taliban infested Afghanistan..... without the help of the US army? PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO AND SEE THE DOLLAR SIGNS IN THEIR EYES! Minerals & Mining again.
In 2010, small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.
According to other reports the total mineral riches of Afghanistan may be worth over three trillion US dollars."The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium — are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world", the United States officials believe.
The Ghazni Province may hold the world's largest lithium reserves. The deposits were already described in the USGS report on Afghanistan issued in 2007. President Hamid Karzai remarked "Whereas Saudi Arabia is the oil capital of the world, Afghanistan will be the lithium capital of the world.
Deposits in the United States and Canada which need mining operations similar to those necessary for the deposits in Afghanistan went out of production due to cheaper production from lithium containing brines. Afghanistan invited 200 global companies for the development of its mines.
China Metallurgical Group won the bidding for a copper mining project in Aybak, Afghanistan. The bidding process has been criticized by rival Canadian and U.S. companies alleging corruption and questioning the Chinese company's commitment to the Afghan people
Why is it then that our troops travel around the world to provide 'freedom' to the Afghan people, then China walks right in and starts mining some of the biggest reserves in the world?
In September 2010, China Metallurgical Group signed an agreement with the Afghan Minister of Mines to investigate construction of a north-south railway across Afghanistan, running from Hayratan (on the Uzbek border) to northern Pakistan. China Metallurgical Group was recently awarded a copper mining concession near the route of this railway
Whether you have read all the previous information I have posted on this thread or not and comprehended it is irrelevant. All you late comers have to do is watch the following video:
Now you explain to me how the goals of this 'war' are ever going to be achieved? Again, following on from my original post, they can't! So why are we still there?
GLOBAL CAPITALISM
Another War ~ Another Trade Route
SHOOTING UP TOGETHER
Another reminder that there are no 'enemies' in the world of global capitalism. Russia, the great bear, the originators of the great game are now back in Afghanistan. But why? To Help China or US?
A GLOWING FRIENDSHIP
Zbigniew Brzezinski: How Jimmy Carter and I Started the Mujahideen
Interview of Zbigniew Brzezinski Le Nouvel Observateur (France), Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76*
* There are at least two editions of this magazine; with the perhaps sole exception of the Library of Congress, the version sent to the United States is shorter than the French version, and the Brzezinski interview was not included in the shorter version.
The below has been translated from the French by Bill Blum author of the indispensible, "Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II" and "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower" Portions of the books can be read at: Link
Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs ["From the Shadows"], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?
Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.
Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?
Brzezinski: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.
Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?
Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
Q: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic [integrisme], having given arms and advice to future terrorists?
Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?
Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.
Brzezinski: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries.
I have finally got round to posting the big one. I hope this gets some attention, there is a lot of important information here. Look at what is dominating the news at the moment, that will be us soon if the system doesn't change. Enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole!

We are indeed living in very interesting times, I think we can all agree on that. But have you ever sat back, took it all in and wondered just what is making it so interesting? That is what led me to ATS in the first place, that natural curiosity, and slowly one piece of information at a time, I am weaving it all together. We are all aware of the apparent conspiracies that seem to be underway in our lifetime, but did you know that the biggest act of corruption is happening right under our very noses?
That’s right folks, corruption on a global scale, and it can be highlighted by a few key points, some well documented evidence and of course several videos from our friends at YouTube just to spoon feed you that bit more. I have already covered most of this material on ATS, but I have summarised it now for your conspiracy pleasure. Enjoy.
Ps. I will not make it too easy for you, and not only that but I don’t want to be replicating information. Wherever you see an ATS link, visit it, and take in the information before continuing with this one. It’s just like reading a book; it really is that simple (and enjoyable)!
THE BIGGEST FRAUD IN HISTORY ~ AND WE HAVE ALL FALLEN FOR IT!
Where to begin, how about how George Bush used terrorists to get elected? That is certainly a sensational topic indeed. First some background information that you are probably already aware of:
• It has been documented that the election that got Bush Jr. Into power was a fraud.
• Bush is a Skull & Bones Member, which his dubious to say the least.
• His family has some very interesting and REAL associations with big business and very powerful commercial people.
Yeah, ok, but what about the terrorist? Hold up one minute, the first piece of the puzzle is coming up which should get you into the right frame of mind to start to question this fraud:
Election campaigns cost a lot of money, and are a good investment for someone who wants to manipulate policy for commercial gain. Look at these pictures (or better yet read the article) and get a feel for the amount of money being spent and who it comes from and what industry:
Ok so you get the picture right? Money is being donated from undisclosed locations, prominently abroad and from people with vast sums of money. Isn’t that what we are told terrorists do? Who are our leaders dealing with? Well how about this, Exhibit A:
Did Bush Use Terrorists To Win Election? Evidence of Conspiracy.
Al-Arian met then-candidate George W. Bush at a campaign event at the Florida Strawberry Festival in March 2000, and Bush and his wife posed for a photo with Al-Arian and his family. Al-Arian later claimed to have spoken to Bush about the government use of "secret evidence" in deportation proceedings against accused terrorists. When Bush subsequently brought up the issue in a debate with Al Gore, Al-Arian was reportedly "thrilled—and began registering local Muslims to vote, and promoting Bush's candidacy at local mosques." He also lobbied Congress on civil liberties matters, contributed thousands of dollars to the campaigns of influential members of Congress, and renounced violence during television appearances.
Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform were mentioned in Senate testimony relating to the lobbying scandal for which Abramoff pled guilty in 2006. Norquist has denied claims that he did anything wrong. Records released by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee allege that ATR served as a "conduit" for funds that flowed from Abramoff's clients to surreptitiously finance grass-roots lobbying campaigns.
Though no allegations have been proven or sustained, Rove's name has come up in political scandals, including the Valerie Plame affair, the Bush White House e-mail controversy and the related dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy.
There is some known controversy here then, and it would seem that Bush used funds and associations with terrorists to secure his position in power. Here are some videos surrounding those involved:
So now we have all the background information, what does it all mean? Let’s Review:
• It has been documented that the election that got Bush Jr. Into power was a fraud.
• Bush is a Skull & Bones Member, which his dubious to say the least.
• His family has some very interesting and REAL associations with big business and very powerful commercial people.
• Election Campaigns are fraught with dubious donations; large sums of money from undisclosed foreign locations.
• Bush has been implicated with a known terrorist.
• The people around him at the time have all shared controversy in recent times.
Ok, but why Bush? Because the big business men needed someone to manipulate public opinion in order for them to make more MONEY! To understand more clearly, we need to look at what was happening in the background:
CRISIS OF CREDIT VISUALISED
These short videos illustrate in the best possible way hoe the economic crisis came to bear. There are some points to be aware of:
This did not happen overnight, it has been building up for years. Contrary to common belief, it has been a well know fact since this activity started that it would eventually lead to a market crash. Wall Street Investors knew they were breaking the rules, and they were increasingly being scrutinised for their actions and the pressure was on to stop them from operating. That is the next part of the puzzle, for now I leave you with these two videos:
Ok now for the next piece of the puzzle, and some information I have not shared with the ATS community thus far; and the missing link which weaves the story together and tempted me into creating this thread. Please look at the following photos:
So the investors (Bushes’ political sponsors) were getting worried. Their fraud was coming to an end sooner than they thought, not to worry; they had made a lot of money from it. But, it was looking increasingly like some of these guys would go to prison, which they did not want to happen. Several organisations were putting cases together in order to prosecute; think of it like an old Mob movie. What’s the solution?
BURN THE EVIDENCE!
THE CALM HAS RETURNED!
Now I think you are intelligent enough to see what I am getting at here. They used 9/11 to destroy the evidence, to save the big boys from getting spanked in prison. Remember bushes face when he found out the news? Maybe just a sign of remorse?
Probably not.
Anyway, so you have just heard half on the conspiracy. But there are bound to be questions right? Sure, but let’s wait for them because for now there’s more! It’s not enough that they staged a terror attack and butchered hundreds of innocent lives! No, remember, they have just lost their fraud that was making them lots of money, so they had to think of a new one.
Now these people are not stupid, they in actual fact are really smart. Not only did they destroy all evidence and get themselves off the hook, they used 9/11 to get the patriot act signed and as a last act of genius, used their puppet Bush to invade Iraq and open up the door to Afghanistan. Genius!
Now, you are probably thinking somewhere along the lines that:
• Iraq was used for Oil. • Afghanistan to get closer to China/Iran • WMD’s etc. etc.
These in the grand scheme of things are actually side issues. The real reason was to kick start the new fraud:
FOREIGN NATION BUILDING
Please await the next blog, it's gonna need more work...
