PERPETUAL WAR

A Family Business of Perpetual War

By Robert Parry, Consortium News

22 March 15

 eoconservative pundit Robert Kagan and his wife, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, run a remarkable family business: she has sparked a hot war in Ukraine and helped launch Cold War II with Russia – and he steps in to demand that Congress jack up military spending so America can meet these new security threats.

A FRIEND OF THE DEVIL. Submitted by Ingrid Chalufour

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
 MARCH 20, 2015
The Obama administration, to its embarrassment, has been spurned by Western allies flocking to a China-led Asian development bank, defying White House pleas to stand back. In a surprise announcement last week, Britain said it would become the first Western nation to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a potential rival to the American-led World Bank. On Tuesday, Germany, France and Italy announced that they would also join the bank, and Australia and South Korea are expected to follow. Their decisions were proof that even Europe’s biggest economies, founders with the United States of the postwar global economic order, cannot resist the newest gold rush — into China, the world’s second-largest economy and a major export and investment market. Funding the new bank is another effort by China to become an even more dominant influence in the region. The Americans worry that China could establish a parallel economic order that could weaken the World Bank and its affiliates and erode already strained international lending standards of transparency, creditworthiness, environmental sustainability, and concern for labor and human rights that took decades to put in place. The British decision, in particular, is an affront to the United States. Britain has said the decision is in its national interest. With Russian money drying up because of Ukraine-related sanctions and a drop in oil revenue, the chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, has courted Chinese investment in nuclear power plants in Britain. He said the City of London, a world financial center known for loose regulations, would become the base for the first clearinghouse for the yuan outside Asia, The Guardian reported.

PROJECT PROPHECY: THE DEATH OF MONEY BY JIM RICKARDS

This video is a little tangential to our American Empire, but since we took up the topic of the Federal Reserve and the fact that the empire is held together with the dollar, I believe it is important. If nothing else, it gives insight in how our economy and government work.

The following url will give an interview with Rickards:

Quote From President Obama

"What greater form of patriotism is there than the belief that America is not finished, that we are strong enough to be self-critical, that each successive generation can look upon our imperfections and decide that it is in our power to remake this nation to more closely align with our highest ideals?

KUBARK CIA's Counter Intelligence Interrogation Manual

 Between 1950 and 1962 the US government spent more than $1 billion dollars a year trying to crack the code of human consciousness...both mass persuasion and the use of coercion in individual interrogation. Most of the money went to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and McGill. These folks tried every thing including LSD, electro shock treatment, truth serum, mescaline, sodium pentothal, and all kinds of other drugs. Nothing worked!!!....More than $10 billion dollars....

  Finally, McGill University  using student volunteers found a way to induce psychosis in the students within a 48 hour period...No drugs, no injections, no electroshock, no beatings, no pain. And remember the Abu Ghraib photos of the guys with the bags over their heads? 

 All those billions of dollars spent and all they had to do was pay a couple of bucks and get a copy of Orwell's 1984....Remember Room 101??? G
