SNAFU

Situation Normal, All Fucked Up.
 - a confused or chaotic state; a mess. -

This is the way I perceived it .....

You see. The US was okay with Iraq reclaiming Kuwait. The Iraq Kuwait borders went way back to what the British wanted and defined in 1922.
Saddam Hussein even told the US Ambassador what he wanted to do, as he considered Kuwait to still be a province of Iraq, and now he thought His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah was stealing his oil by side drilling from Kuwait into Iraq's vast Rumaila oil field. The US response was that America had no interest or comment on Iraq's internal affairs.
So Saddam went ahead and attacked Kuwait with his Republican Guard. The The Emir asked the US for help and America ignored their own Ambassador's response to Saddam and this resulted in the first Gulf War where US forces drove out the Iraqi Army and returned control of Kuwait to the Emir. The fact that the US unleashed all that stealth technology on Baghdad when Kuwait was 658 km away had little relevance to the military testing their new toys.
One supposes oil agreements with the Kuwaiti Emir were behind the military action. He also promised democracy at the time.

But George HW Bush, was not re-elected in America. And Saddam Hussein survived the first Gulf War defeat and continued to run his country. A few short years later the young George W. Bush was elected president, and saw Iraq and Saddam Hussein as a score to settle for his Dad. Who he thought was mocked by  Hussein. With Dick Cheney as the evil Basil Rathbone character whispering over his shoulder, George W. Bush fell into the surreptitious plan of opportunity.
 
Two reasons: Iraq had the world's fifth largest proven oil reserves. Saddam had survived the first H.W. Bush war and remained in control of his country while HW Bush was a one term chagrined president! George Jr. saw a need to avenge his Daddy.
And Cheney wanted to provide Haliburton a chance to make billions in reconstruction and oil management. (Haliburton got a billion dollar no-bid contract)

What is real and what is fake?

And so after what many people now believe was an inside job, the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York city, Bush and Cheney had their overt reasons to start their phoney war to get rid of Saddam. Including suddenly feeling sorry for the Kurds, and worrying about weapons of mass destruction that Colin Powell, betrayed by his own demeanor, professed to be aimed at America.
Even though the chief suspects of 9/11 were Saudis, or financed by their government, hidden in a 28 page document classified by Dubya. And there is plenty of evidence to show how close the Bush family is to the Royal family in Saudi Arabia.
But the covert reason for war was all that wonderful oil beneath the desert sands.

The second Gulf War devastated the infrastructure of Iraq, turned Baghdad into a US armed camp, and would funnel away Iraq's national oil riches into private companies.

And as we know now, the war was premeditated and implemented from the start for the purposes of the US Government, with Britain tagging along so as not to be left out of the rich spoils. And we all know what happened to the dreaded WMDs. Nothing.

Saddam Hussein was a Sunni Muslim who controlled his country, albeit mercilessly,  and was in fact a buffer between Shi'a Iran and Syria. (Iraq was about 10% Kurds, 25% Sunni and 65% Shi'a previous to American occupation.) Saddam kept his borders strong and secure between his two enemies.
But with Iraq basically destroyed by the American invasion, occupation and realignment of the country, including it's oil reserves, there were no strong controls over the population or no viable plan for the country's future direction. The democratization of Iraq was doomed to failure. Not the least contributed to by the use of Blackwater mercenaries and private contractors who were there to protect Americans but would shoot to kill at anything, And did. Innocent civilians not exempted.
Violence, bombings and killings continued to be the normal life in Iraq, even in the strengthened American 'Green Zone' sections of Baghdad.

With America finally pulling out their ground combat forces, the void began to fill with other dissenters,  al Qaeda, who Saddam hated, the strengthening of the Kurds who want their own autonomous region, and other Sunnis who were now excluded from Iraqi affairs by Shi'a president al-Maliki. All this confusion and distrust soon became ISIS. Or ISIL, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Meanwhile nothing came of the promise of democracy in Kuwait that al-Sabah said he would implement. He is now nothing more than an American satellite oil resource. Kuwait has 8% of the world's oil reserves and is the third largest producer.  One can assume His Highness Al-Sabah is properly appreciative of the American military efforts on his behalf.

A vicious circle resulting from personal greed that cost the lives of many brave young men of Britain and America's military for no apparent gain except to those corporations close to the US government.
President Obama has not kept his promise to declassify that potentially revealing 28 page document for the American people.

So here we are on the brink of a third Gulf War, changing alliances yet again to combat the growing world threat of ISIL. Meanwhile, the Republican party continues to covertly denigrate their own potential candidates for the 2016 presidential nomination, while carefully keeping Jeb Bush safely tucked away in a quiet back room.Would a third Bush in the White House complete the circle to the New World Order?

One wonders what the situation would be had Saddam Hussein remained in power? Some believe he would have been the USA's greatest ally in the Middle East.
And even a troubled peace is better than the senseless slaughter now going on.

SNAFU has become FUBAR.

 

Desert Storm deja vu?

Police militarization, what does it mean?

Is a para-military coup in the offing?

There are many signs emerging from actions across America that portend something ominous.

It might have started when the Denver Post,on February 15th, 2012, ran an Associated Press article entitled Department of Homeland Security plans to buy 1.6 BILLION rounds of ammo!  DHS issued an open order for the ammunition. Some of that purchase order is for sniper rounds, and hollow point rounds which are illegal in International Law for use in WAR! Hollow points are described as optimum penetration for terminal performance. Terminal. As in terminating whomever they hit!
In the Iraq war, the US Army expended only 6 million rounds per month. 1.6 billion rounds would, according to Forbes Magazine, sustain a war for 20 years. In America. The DHS now has over 100,000 armed officers. Some are wondering why the Department of Homeland Security is building a standing army on US soil?

They are also providing drones for state and local police! Their Predator drones come equipped with infrared sensors, radar, heat sensors and video cameras. And DHS has awarded a contract worth 385 million to Haliburton, (who else) to build 'detention centers' on American soil.

It was also revealed that MRAPs, Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected vehicles (which protect soldiers against roadside bombs in WAR zones) have been proliferating among police forces all over America. In most police jurisdictions,  there has never ever been a mine detected! In some cases these 750 thousand dollar vehicles seem to have appeared as part of a local police force equipment, for as little as $2800. or have found their way to county policing for free! Either direct from the Pentagon orfrom DHS. And even where a local town population may be only in the hundreds the police have secured armored troop carriers, night-vision rifle scopes, camouflage fatigues, Humvees and dozens of M16 automatic rifles. Is there a reason for such armament in what could be correctly described as villages? In a lot of instances, one might assume the local police chief would like to be prepared, for whatever. But some are suspecting a nefarious reason for DHS to want locals to have equipment designed for all out war!

What is all this pointing toward?
Was the appearance of MRAPs in Ferguson, Missouri part of a carefully programmed plan to condition people to seeing these war machines in their midst? They are apparently in every state right now, from Seattle to Miami, Boston to LA. Ready for use against who?
The introduction of equipment designed for war in Fallujah, Iraq, to the streets of U.S. towns and cities raises questions about the militarization of civilian police departments. Will it make police inappropriately aggressive? Have we seen that in Ferguson from police with better armor than the US Army had in Iraq? Do you recall families buying body armor at home and sending it to their sons and daughters during the Gulf War?  Is the line between civilian police and the military now permanently blurred?

Who is the threat? Mexican drug cartels? Insurgents against Democracy? Muslims? Jihadists? Students? Democracy itself? Black people? Gun toting backwoods white people? The banjo boy? Ted Nugent? Michael Hastings?

Perhaps it is perceived that home bred Americans who are just beginning to get acquainted with their situation are the threat?

Is a coup d'etat in the offing?
Being readied right now, waiting for something a little more explosive than Ferguson? Yes, a false flag operation that could incite violence in the streets? Was Ferguson only a preliminary to the main show? Something that can be made to go viral across the country and make the use of all this military power rational? A so-called uprising?  Resulting in more war zones across America to use a shock and awe action?
Causing the suspension of the US Constitution?
Will 'no-knock' warrants become common? Will we see these MRAPs patrolling the streets of our main cities, using psychotic faux policemen who are actually anxious to shoot on Americans?  How many of these 'policemen' would have been screened out of law enforcement in times past because of revealed social issues? Homeland Security learned through the use of Blackwater mercenaries in the past, that a certain mentality in military policing could be exploited. Was exploited in Iraq until they went crazy and started murdering civilians and independent reporters. In fact, hundreds of war correspondents were killed mysteriously in the Middle East.
And the question was presented then if these forces could be relied upon to fire on American citizens in their own homeland. 

And we have recently seen that more journalists, perceive a war against their freedoms to report on happenings,  are now threatened within America, from Reuters to AP to the Washington Post to Al Jazeera to destroy their ability to tell you what is going on from the front lines.

Will we see the instigation against black Americans first? To take advantage of the current jagged racial feelings between black and white by many in law enforcement? Incite them and instigate the spread of violence in order to implement a secret plan?

Many people now believe that whoever the American President is, from whatever party, they have no control over the proliferation of armed agencies within the government. Or what they are doing. And if the top commander in the country is powerless, who will defend the American people?
And who is controlling that secret cadre hiding in plain sight? Some believe it will emerge soon.

Is a para military coup in the offing?

Are YOU the target?

Are you Wired for destruction?

Wired Magazine has just revealed at a Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas that hackers can actually control your car while it drives! And two inventors have invented a cheap device that can sense mischief in your electronic systems and shut it off.  A simple device that easily installs under your car's dashboard into an existing plug-in! The OBD-2 port. Part of the Telematics System.
And the two who invented the $150. device also showed that it can be done wirelessly! It’s even possible to hack a car with malware embedded in an MP3 and with code transmitted over a Wi-Fi connection.Most people are not aware that a modern automobile can be controlled from afar. What do you think OnStar does in your Cadillac? Yet another 'We keep you safe' message.

The inventors performed tests and showed they could even disable brakes at low speeds. Nothing to say they couldn't have done the same thing at high speeds. So we assume they could press that gas pedal electronically to cause high speed, completely oblivious to the terrified driver's physical input! Of course when you press your gas pedal in a modern automobile, you are not pulling a wire somewhere between a carburetor and the pedal, you are sending an electrical impulse to a sensor that pushes more fuel and air into your engine. 

Doesn't this take the tin hats off all those who believed that someone took control of journalist Michael Hasting's Mercedes 250 and caused him to crash into a tree so hard the engine was flung hundreds of feet away?
Michael Hastings was a 33 year old, crack investigative reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine, whose June 2010 article, “The Runaway General,” exposed the behind-the-scenes failure of top U.S. General Stanley McChrystal’s counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan—and, even more damagingly, revealed McChrystal's mocking attitude toward the Obama administration, which ultimately led to the general’s resignation. Shortly thereafter, Hastings was plagued with threatening phone calls. Speculation that Hastings could have been murdered center around comments made by
former counter-terror czar Richard Clarke, who pointed out the ease with which modern vehicles could be hijacked via computer hacking. A Forbes video demonstrated how it is now possible to commandeer a car using an iPad.

It is a pity that no one revealed this long ago; that someone could take complete control of your vehicle for murderous reasons. One Congressman, Ed Markey sent letters to 20 car manufacturers demanding to know why this is possible in a new vehicle. No response.
Is the NSA having back-door software built into cars now too?

A hacked car has more serious consequences than eavesdropped emails or stolen credit cards. The manufacturers have changed our driving in an honest attempt to make things better for all. However the doors are also open a crack to malicious control of your vehicle. 

The inventors said they don't plan to market their invention, but for $150. there are more than a few consumers who would spring for the device and would like to monitor their own vehicles and have control themselves.

Behave yourself and don't be a journalist exposing the truth.
Ride a bike too.



Controlling your car?

Who Killed Michael Hastings?

Car and Driver car hacking

What else can we say?

Have corporations totally taken over the US Government?  One can only say YES!

However did this happen without people taking to the streets?  Is the manipulation and subjugation of the people of North America almost complete? Who do you turn to when your representatives are against you?

To be more specific,

 

One Microsoft account for everything?

No thanks.

You might have noticed when you access your Hotmail account, that they are now asking you to give them more information, 'to keep you secure'. And they want you to have one account for everything. The sign-in to your computer, your email accounts, your smartphone, your GameBoy consol, chat and Skype etc. all with one password! So easy for you. And them. And when you think that the GCHQ in Britain, and the CIA etc. in North America, now have the ability to open your mic and the webcam on your computer without you knowing, your privacy is already gone!

Some people think this is a bigger security scam than the Nigerian Prince ploy!
One log in for ALL Microsoft accounts and devices. Hmm. Is that what YOU want? And now Microsoft is holding your Hotmail account closed until you ransom it by giving them more info about you. They want to text you or call you with a code to let you back into your own Hotmail messages.
Of course there are many people who believe that Microsoft (who they think sold out years ago to the NSA, check the link) is already reading everything you write into your email messages on Hotmail anyway.
But just in case you ever forget your password, they will send a code to the other reference email address you listed when you signed up. And usually that email try doesn't work, ??? so now they need to text you or call you, and give you that code number, which you need if you want to simply see what Aunt Martha sent you about her cute dog!

Now, if you are a trusting individual, and fear bad guys getting your emails, you give Microsoft your cell number, and voila, a few minutes later they call you or text you with the code. Which you use to go back to your email account, sign-in, type the code in and you're back in business. Now you're more secure, at least that's what they tell you.
Or perhaps less secure if you consider who the bad guys really are.

And as most people have 'smart phones' these days, with the wonderful GPS ability to locate itself, and trace its progress to anywhere, you've just given Microsoft (NSA) the cross referencing ability to track YOU wherever you go!
And sometimes they do the same thing all over again the next time you try to access your Hotmail account! Why more than once? Maybe it's a little like TV detectives questioning you again and again, they're looking for little mistakes in your 'story'.  You might have something else that slips out.

They say if you are really you to go ahead and do this. To keep you safe. If you are not you, then ignore the request. What? So if someone really HAS gotten into your Hotmail account, and gets the Microsoft security message too, and has the code sent to their unregistered throwaway phone, how will that keep YOU secure? You will, of course, be unaware they entered the code! Business for the criminal as usual.

Just askin'.

Well, I have abandoned some Hotmail and Google accounts and have migrated the contents of others to other email providers. To be more 'secure', from the bad guys.


Whoever they are.







Miscrosoft helped NSA spy

Microsoft helped NSA, CIA, FBI spy on you

Google spies on your Gmail

Drones and Police are changing

Didn't you kind of consider Democrats to be the reasonable party in America? Not sure who ruined them or when they crossed over to be against the public but it seems to have happened. Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein seems about as big a hawk as one can get. She backs everything the FBI, CIA or NSA wants to do. So they are doing it. With impunity.
At least the Republicans openly act like they are crazy, so we cannot see any deceit in their actions. They just want to bomb everybody and make no Skull and Bones about it!


Many people thought Barack Obama might change things after the
blatant disrespect and impudence of Bush and Cheney. But they seem to have started the spiral downward that is now unstoppable.  And some even think Obama had a visitor to his Oval Office who told him like it was going to be. And that is how it is. Now we are wondering what the slogan 'Yes we can' really meant? And if there is any real difference between political parties and the direction of America?

Many people think there is a secret government plan to condition the populace to the presence of military units amid the people. So you'll accept the blackshirts on your street without question or protest. Even though you have a frisson of fear in your heart.
And not just military, the local police forces are becoming militarized. Even little backwoods towns have a SWAT team now, with fully armed Humvees and even armored vehicles! Connecticut police now have grenade launchers in their arsenal!

And every local Sheriff now has his very own drone to watch you from the sky! In a few years there will be WAAS  (Wide Area Airborne Surveillance) drones looking out for you. WAAS sensors  provide persistent 24/7 city-size video coverage with direct feed to ground troops within line-of-site and operations centers for immediate exploitation. WAAS will also store high-resolution data for forensics and provide Multi-INT cued high-res spot coverage for moving target tracking and identification. Don't bother running for it.
There are already nearly 30,000 company drones flying. And no one knows how many police and military drones. All looking out for us. Keeping you safe. Protecting you from .....
And those drones are now so small you'll not even know they are up there, clinging to the curtain in your bedroom. Looking out for you. It could be worse though, they're not like mosquitoes who will bite you while you're sleeping, just lil mechanical flyers that will record how you snore, and report if you sleepwalk.

There are now 40 Federal agencies with armed police. Licensed to carry guns and one would assume, use them if needed. The cities of North America are morphing into a police state. Even the Federal Reserve, a non government organization, (which some believe was responsible for JFK to die) has armed officers.
Some other agencies with armed 'enforcement' include the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coast Guard, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (preventing whale attacks?) the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Park Service. And what about the National Institute of Health, the Veterans Health Administration and the Department of Agriculture? (protecting Monsanto?)
And don't forget the Department of Homeland Security, which employs nearly half of all federal officers, in the Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And they have been buying and stockpiling weapons and ammunition for years! DHS plans to buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the next four or five years, and has already bought 360,000 rounds of hollow point bullets and 1.5 billion rounds in 2012. In America, enough to wage an all out war on the people who may resist being ruled by robotic brutes.You remember these folks from the last movie, who, along with the Blackwater private army held people off at gunpoint from reaching safety during hurricane Katrina.

It is not unrealistic to say about 90% of the new police/military officers with their psycho personalities would never have been allowed to join so few years ago. Now they are sought after for that ruthless disposition.

I don't know about you, but some people have told me they would rather take their chances with the protesters, the Mafia, the Minutemen, the Hells Angels, the NRA, Ted Nugent and the drug dealers than the police. All of the above are dedicated to upholding the US Constitution. Liberty is crucial to what they do.

So the realm of the police boils down to: To serve who and protect who?  Does that mean WE serve the new masters and protect THEIR interests? Frightening.

We may be past the tipping point.

Go back to sleep, it may be all over when you wake up.

The CLOUD

Corporations, store your info in 'the CLOUD'.    it'll be safe there ......

.......... sure it will.


 'The Little White Cloud That Cried.'   - - - Johnny Ray

addenda - recently at a Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, two entrepreneurs revealed that they had infiltrated 150 so called Cloud accounts. They were able to place up to 200 emails on each as new sign-ups, and use these accounts to do whatever they wanted. As it was a demonstration about security, they never made any DOS attacks, or hacked into anyone's privacy, but showed it could be done, and this included Cloud accounts like Amazon and Google.  
Do YOU still trust the Cloud?
