By Paul Craig Roberts
“Obama Calls on World to ‘Stand Up To’ North Korea” read the headline. The United States, Obama said, was determined to protect “the peace and security of the world.”
Shades of doublespeak, doublethink, 1984.
North Korea is a small place. China alone could snuff it out in a few minutes. Yet, the president of the US thinks that nothing less than the entire world is a match for North Korea.
We are witnessing the Washington gangsters construct yet another threat like Slobodan Milosevic, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, John Walker Lindh, Hamdi, Padilla, Sami Al-Arian, Hamas, Mahkmoud Ahmadinejad, and the hapless detainees demonized by the US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld as “the 700 most dangerous terrorists on the face of the earth,” who were tortured for six years at Gitmo only to be quietly released. Just another mistake, sorry.
The military/security complex that rules America, together with the Israel Lobby and the financial banksters, needs a long list of dangerous enemies to keep the taxpayers’ money flowing into its coffers.
The Homeland Security lobby is dependent on endless threats to convince Americans that they must forego civil liberty in order to be safe and secure.
The real question is who is going to stand up to the American and Israeli governments?
Who is going to protect Americans’ and Israelis’ civil liberties, especially those of Israeli dissenters and Israel’s Arab citizens?
Who is going to protect Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, Lebanese, Iranians, and Syrians from Americans and Israelis?
Not Obama, and not the right-wing brownshirts that today rule Israel.
Obama’s notion that it takes the entire world to stand up to N. Korea is mind-boggling, but this mind-boggling idea pales in comparison to Obama’s guarantee that America will protect “the peace and security of the world.”
Is this the same America that bombed Serbia, including Chinese diplomatic offices and civilian passenger trains, and pried Kosovo loose from Serbia and gave it to a gang of Muslin drug lords, lending them NATO troops to protect their operation?
Is this the same America that is responsible for approximately one million dead Iraqis, leaving orphans and widows everywhere and making refugees out of one-firth of the Iraqi population?
Is this the same America that blocked the rest of the world from condemning Israel for its murderous attack on Lebanese civilians in 2006 and on Gazans most recently, the same America that has covered up for Israel’s theft of Palestine over the past 60 years, a theft that has produced four million Palestinian refugees driven by Israeli violence and terror from their homes and villages?
Is this the same America that is conducting military exercises in former constituent parts of Russia and ringing Russia with missile bases?
Is this the same America that has bombed Afghanistan into rubble with massive civilian casualties?
Is this the same America that has started a horrific new war in Pakistan, a war that in its first few days has produced one million refugees?
“The peace and security of the world”? Whose world?
On his return from his consultation with Obama in Washington, the brownshirted Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that it was Israel’s responsibility to“eliminate” the “nuclear threat” from Iran.
What nuclear threat? The US intelligence agencies are unanimous in their conclusion that Iran has had no nuclear weapons program since 2003. The inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency report that there is no sign of a nuclear weapons program in Iran.
Who is Iran bombing? How many refugees is Iran sending fleeing for their lives?
Who is North Korea bombing?
The two great murderous, refugee-producing countries are the US and Israel. Between them, they have murdered and dislocated millions of people who were a threat to no one.
No countries on earth rival the US and Israel for barbaric murderous violence.
But Obama gives assurances that the US will protect “the peace and security of the world.” And the brownshirt Netanyahu assures the world that Israel will save it from the“Iranian threat.”
Where is the media?
Why aren’t people laughing their heads off?

Combine the factual information found in Paul Craig Roberts articles with an understanding of the conspiratorial view of history, and you have a blowtorch that can cut through the most dense establishment malarky the brainwashed and willingly ignorant may attempt to peddle on alternative news sites like this one.
“There is nothing new under the sun”
“That there is a gigantic combination of the money dealers, a powerful international trust of usurers, asserting a superiority above all jurisdictions, and having for its servants the so-called statesmen and potentates of various nations, who willingly register the decrees for this money power upon the statute-books of the respective states, is a fact that can be sustained by irrebuttable evidence.” – M.W. Walbert, The Coming Battle, 1899 – via Radio Liberty Newsletter
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” – Thomas Jefferson
“If the American people want to remain free, they must understand the battle that has been waged between the men who control the banking system, and the men who cherish freedom.
Who controls the American banking system? Some of the richest men in the world.
How did they amass their fortunes?
They devised a deceptive system that creates credit via book-keeping entries, and money out of nothing.
What have they done with their wealth?
They have purchased the The moon is round
The trees are tall
corporations that produce our products, they have bought the media outlets that mold our minds, they have endowed the universities that train our children, and they have financed the politicians that rule our nation.
When did the conflict between the bankers and the American people begin?
It began shortly after the United States became a nation in 1789, and the final stage of the battle for freedom is being waged today. What is their goal? They want to destroy Christianity, and rule the world.” – Stanley Monteith, M.D.
These people described by Dr. Stan are the ones who promote endless war upon phantom adversaries for their own gain and the enrichment of their minions.
Should they decide that North Korea must be attacked, their organs of propaganda will have the masses primed to support such a move: and it will be used to crush opposition to a centralized world government.
It’s all about consolidation of power and wealth.
Patrick Henry warned about a consolidated government when he opposed the Constitution, in the late 1700s. If Mr. Henry was that concerned about a Federal government in America, can you imagine how he would feel, today, about the globalist’s goal of a centralized collectivist world government?
Any nation that does not go along with the internationalist agenda will be crushed; no matter how long it takes. Iraq is a good example; and, generally speaking, it is not the sons and daughters of the Financial Elite dying on the battlefield.
Other nations will be attacked, as planned, and the mainstream media will do nothing meaningful to warn the people: because, through secret societies, the major media is controlled by the internationalists [the bankers Dr. Monteith speaks of] and will promote endless war, continual loss of national sovereignty, and plunder for those in a position to reap huge profits from this ongoing deception.
It will continue as long as the majority are content to receive their “news” from trans-national corporate controlled sources and remain in denial of who actually orchestrates major world events.

Interesting how someone was able to insert words into my post that I never wrote.
I almost lost the above message when it didn’t go through the first time; and got assistance to paste what I wrote and save it to a disc. It somehow contained the reference to the moon and trees that I never had in the original post. Please disregard that reference and the rest will make a lot more sense.
“Who is going to stand up to the American and Israeli governments?”
The citizens of both nations need to hold criminals in their own government accountable for all of the treachery and unlawful activity done in their name.
“Where is the media?”
Americans need to face who controls most of what passes for “news.”
http://rense.com/general85/ownh.htm
“Why aren’t people laughing their heads off?”
Thanks to the internationalist’s divide and conquer strategy, most people in this country (America) are in a mainstream fog and engaged in partisan sniping on the Editorial page of newspapers [LsTTE], “discussion” threads, in public demonstrations, and on radio talk shows.
Of course, you see the same agenda operating in foreign countries as well.
Timewasters, well-versed in jerking others around instead of facing the true state of things, attempt to wear down those who expose the “global plantation” plans of the Financial Elite.
They can’t resist coming to sites such as this one because inside they know (contrary to what they profess) that the sites they recommend actually suppress certain information and keep their readers in the dark. So the timewasters need to come to sites like this, and http://www.infowars.com, for enlightenment: even while they ridicule others who post here, and belittle the site itself. They do not see how transparent their disinfo agenda appears to others who do the research and know better.

Here is a good article exposing the media-creation and his rise to fame.
http:midnight-emissary.com/article_political_alchemy.html
My Jaw drops that you actually post a link to an article by Texe Marrs – a bonafide fundamentalist Christian loon who sees the hand of Satan at work everywhere. By what state of delusion can you not see that this guy is f-n deranged? And yes, Marrs (and by association, you, for posting the link) blame everything once again on ‘the Jews’. Any more cliches left from the ‘Conspiracy theory for dummies’ textbook that you haven’t used?
I’d really like to see the ‘America’ that would result if your ‘patriot’ community of Paulite conspiracy knobheads actually got some degree of political power. Undoubtedly those gigantic FEMA camps would make a nice holding place for all those evil conspirators at work eh? – Jews, Masons, Catholics, gays, feminists, most scientists, most doctors, most academics, most media professionals – well, pretty much everybody except yourself and your mates. Misanthropic, narcisstic arseholes.
Interesting how quickly Alex Search jumps out of the woodwork the minute anything related to Israel is posted. I think based on the vile insults and language used in the post above we must have a hit a nerve. What’s wrong -is the truth getting out and all you have to counter is baseless insults.
I can understand given your views why a world where Ron Paul had some power would be a frightening thought for you.
Why do you label anyone that has an opinion as a fundamentalist rightwing/ christian loon. Are you that lacking in any other arguments? Back it up with some facts or is slander the best you can do?
You have noticed, Lorraine, he has no intelligent argument.
He is truly a clone of the talking heads that supply him with the blanks he fires sporadically when the truth of an article is too much for him to bear.
Poor deluded establishment parrot that he is, he has no defense against the fine article by Texe Marrs; a much respected researcher who rattles the cages of head-in-the-sand NWO assets like “alex search.”
Where is his intelligent rebuttal of Texe Marrs’ position on who controls the major media in America?
The *fact* that Texe Marrs uses the very words of “jews” themselves to prove his point must be a bitter pill for “alex.” So bitter, in fact, that he doesn’t go there. No, insults are the best he can do.
Since his bag of tricks is becoming depleted, expect to see much repetition in the future. I think it was Cicero who said: “if your argument is weak, attack your opponent personally.”
“Alex search” is not only firing blanks, he has no solid foundation to stand on while trying to take aim. The shifting sands of establishment propaganda have “alex” desperately blasting in all directions.
In America, shills like Rush Limbaugh program their mesmerized listeners to behave like “alex” and come unglued over the mere mention of who controls the major media.
Limbaugh and Hannity have their comrades on the “alternative” left that do the very same thing. Attempting to make a mockery of those who expose globalist deception; they only succeed in making fools of themselves when readers see through their desperate character assasinations.
If “alex” is “Jewish,” why not come out and say so?
If he is not, then why is he so sensitive: and obsessed to the point where almost every other post is castigating *someone* for being “anti-Semitic”? This time I happen to be the one in the crosshairs.
Expect no intelligent argument from him and you won’t be disappointed.
Here is another source of information that is bound to produce another irrational and spiteful response from “alex.” His posts, when rattled, speak volumes.
http://midnight-emissary.com/jews.htm
Your post hit it dead center, Lorraine:
“Back it up with some facts, or is slander the best you can do”?
He despises Congressman Ron Paul for a reason. Ron Paul has integrity, and a two-decade pro-American voting record.
“Alex” has his handlers that feed him the embarrassing drivel that he attempts to foist upon readers of this website.
Once again, where is the intelligent rebuttal of Texe Marrs’ position on who controls the major media in America?
Zionism, Hollywood, and the Media

Anyone dealing with alex’s snide posts in the future, may want to send him right back to this response and not waste any further time with him.
New Zealand may go bust over Global Warming
No country in the world would risk as much for “global warming” as New Zealand if it goes ahead with the cap-and-trade energy taxation installed by Helen Clarke’s now-departed Labour Government.
New Zealand’s economy is almost completely dependent on its farm exports: lamb, dairy products, beef and high-end white wines. Half of New Zealand’s carbon emissions come from cattle and sheep. If New Zealand taxes its cows and sheep hundreds of dollars per animal for methane emissions and manure handling fees, Argentina would almost immediately displace New Zealand’s farm exports. Argentina has more grass, more cattle, the potential for more lambs, a surging wine industry—and no Kyoto obligations.
Based on U.S. and Australian “discussions,” a 500-cow dairy might have to pay $250,000 per year for cattle emissions and manure handling permits, plus a hefty increase in its costs for low-carbon electricity and diesel. An Argentine dairy would pay none of these increased costs—and every dollar of cost differential would be a further incentive for Argentine dairymen to expand their exports at the expense of New Zealand.
That would leave Kiwi cities like Auckland and Christchurch without visible means of support.
I said this recently to several New Zealand government ministers and business leaders at a private dinner in Wellington. My message was not welcomed. John Key’s new government seems to understand that New Zealand’s economy would be at terrible risk from carbon taxes—but its voters apparently don’t realize it.
The Clark government told New Zealand voters that the cost of “leading the world” with a carbon tax would be about $150 per year. That figure is laughably low. The British government now admits its new carbon tax law could cost as much as $27,000 per UK family.
The Key government has temporarily suspended the cap-and-trade, but has not dared repeal it. Meanwhile, Australia’s Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is installing his own cap-and-trade, and playing footsie with President Obama on “solidarity” with a U.S. carbon tax. If Australia and the U.S. agreed on some benchmark carbon tax, most New Zealanders would expect their country to join in.
Never mind that the earth’s global warming stopped after 1998 because the sun has gone into a startling quiet period. That’s why New Zealand’s many glaciers have been growing recently instead of receding. Never mind that even full member compliance with Kyoto would “avoid” only about 0.05 degree C of warming over the next 50 years—by the alarmists’ own math.
The urbanites in New Zealand don’t really appreciate the sophisticated management that juggles pastures and feed crops that produce milk, cheese and Merino wool. They love the wine, but don’t understand the massive per-acre investments needed to turn their grapes into award-winning vintages.
Meanwhile, Obama’s U.S. government has just punished New Zealand with trade-distorting dairy export subsidies–because our corn ethanol program has pushed our cost of dairy feed too high. World corn prices have doubled in real terms, and may go higher as our ethanol mandates keep rising. That jacks up the U.S. cost of “alternative fuels” even further–while New Zealand will have to file a well-justified case against America under the World Trade Organization rules.
Ah, what a tangled web we’re weaving, rather than admit the Emperor of Global Warming has no clothes.
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/11534
According to Ian Wishart’s excellently researched latest book Air Con, this new carbon tax, it if goes ahead, and we will know after the leaders meet in Copenhagen in Dec of this year, will cost the average US household an average of US$2,750 extra per year in extra taxes to help prevent global warming.
And you’re quite right, it will bankrupt our farmers too! The executives at Federated Farmers are none too pleased with this I can assure you!
An interesting question to ask the likes of Key is what is the extra money that is going to be gathered in this “global warming” tax bonanza going to be spent on?
Lorraine, that is INDEED the question to ask! May i be a tad presumptious here and answer that on his behalf? (Well, i will anyway!)
How about, “to further advance the One World Government agenda through the auspices of the United Nations with Helen Clark playing a key role in that!” Anyone else notice how big a player NZ has been in donating money to the UN ans similar organisations under Clark’s leadership through the New Zealand International Aid and Development Agency (NZAID) – visit http://www.pgaction.org/support-pga-current-sponcers.aspx
and other sites for like this for more info…
Very good question, Lorraine.
As you probably suspected when leaving your message at 5:47, the money will be funneled into the “One World Government agenda” (through the UN) as Barron suggests; or (much of it) directly into the coffers of the orchestrators of endless war, a fluoridated & fully-vaccinated population, open borders, and perpetual debt.
The “global warming tax” is nothing but a transfer of wealth.
Should the proposal become “law” the money will be extracted from the troll and the Israeli mole as well.
