Control Oil: This surprises no one. Recently, Alan Greenspan and others have come up with this startling revelation. Peak oil has been a real concern. Some seven years ago, an Intel officer told me that we were going to reach peak oil, not in seventy years but in more like seven years. I scoffed at this notion-together with his assertion that every third story of the Twin Towers was rigged with charges during a prior "inspection." I scoff no more.
Control the Drug Trade: Drugs are the major means of controlling populations, funding black ops, and developing an army of willing informers who will do the bidding of the darker agencies of our government in order to avoid being sent back to prison. Witness the draconian sentences for drug use, not just drug sale or growing. Afghanistan and Indochina, Kurdish Iraq and Turkey constitute the French Connection.
Similar to true monetary standards such as gold silver and platinum, drugs have an intrinsic use, or value, are easily divisible, readily portable, and in totality are, for all intents and purposes, of a relatively limited quantity at any given period of time. The attribute of durability, a distinct advantage with silver and gold, is replaced by the net balance between a reliable rate of attrition matched by a rate of demand, the two offsetting thus offsetting each other; and in the case of an illegal commodity is precisely what allows drugs to maintain their value-their impermanence, because they are constantly supplied and consumed (and so laundering themselves,) and then replaced, therefore making detection time sensitive, and therefore almost impossible. Distribution is accomplished through organized gangs with leaders allied with the CIA primarily.
Build a permanent forward position: Our presence in Diego Garcia in the British Indian Ocean Territories, in Serbia and Kosovo in particular-the real reason behind our attack and ousting of Milosevic, who, incidentally was never shown to have committed even one atrocity-and now our permanent installation of comparable magnitude in Iraq gives us a commanding presence in the Balkans and the Caspian.
Destroy our military so as to avoid potential revolution: Our leaders have a very legitimate fear of our military returning to tell the truth, and with any support from Flag rank officers who have had enough, would find themselves facing impeachment at best, and charges of treason, at worst, excluding out-and-out lynching.
The gravity and the reality of this possibility cannot be overestimated. Our leaders know that the military is the greatest threat; and to that end, they have systematically done everything to destroy it, and in its place to substitute a Corporate military. This will be reinforced with Chinese troops, which can now be seen in abundance in Central America and Mexico.
Our prison system will be federalized. What is happening in California is the test case, made possible by the appointment of activist judges in the 9th circuit, jurists who, through the use of Receivership, and under the guise of sympathy for prisoners, have opened the federal door which will lead to corporate control and ownership of the state prison system and will be followed by a similar pattern in the remaining states of our once-existing republic.
I have written about this previously, and I will have a dynamite follow-up to give you the scoop very shortly, as events unfold.
In the words of the late and great, fearless Sherman Skolnick,
"More to follow. Stay tuned...."
