War - and the Theories of a Conspiracy Nut

“Naturally the common people don’t want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. … Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — General Hermann Goering, President of German Reichstag and Nazi Party, Commander of Luftwaffe during World War II, April 18, 1946. http://www.examiner.com

OK, I am a conspiracy nut. I think that the last real war that the US forces engaged in occurred when the Southern Confederacy fired on Fort Sumter in 1861. Virtually every war we have been engaged in since that time has been thrust upon us by our own United Stated Government and our elected officials for political and self-financial gain. For those of you who do not want to read my following historical references, I will jump to the conclusion right now. We are going to experience another false flag attack on US forces in the very near future, before the end of 2010, that will make the US citizenry once again clamor for involvement in war.

Since 1898, US wars have been predicated on aggressive attacks on US forces with the exception of the Iraqi War that was based on the false information of Saddam Hussein having control over vast quantities of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD’s). In every case, there is sound argument that the actual aggression against US forces did not happen or were staged for the sole purpose of fomenting the US citizenry to rise up and demand military retaliation. In every case, US support for a war was locked. Of course, to date, no WMD’s have ever been found in Iraq. http://www.washingtonpost.com/

Remember the Maine and to Hell with Spain

This was the battle cry after the Spanish forces supposedly placed mines in Havana Harbor in Cuba that resulted in the sinking of the USS Maine.

Multiple studies of the wreckage of the Maine, including the ones done by divers ordered to investigate the blast by President McKinley at the time of the disaster, have concluded that coal bins ignited and set off a munitions explosion stored next to them and located directly in the blast area of the ship where the outward torn hole in the hull is located. The most famous of these studies was the Rickover Report done in 1976.  Understand we also paid a tax on the war with Spain on our telephone bills from 1898 until 2005. Plus we gained considerable territories around the globe as well on the conclusion of the war. Regardless of the evidence, the US government chose instead to go to war with Spain claiming the USS Maine was destroyed by a Spanish mine.

“To help pay for the Spanish-American War, congress enacted a “temporary” tax of 3 percent on long-distance telephone bills. This was essentially a tax on the rich, as only about 1,300 Americans owned phones in 1898. Although the Spanish-American War ended in 1898, the temporary tax was only abolished in… 2005. Over its lifetime, the 107-year-old tax generated almost $94 billion - more than 230 times the cost of the Spanish-American War.

“The Spanish-American War put a large nail in the coffin of Spain’s global empire. And by the end of 1898, the United States, which was founded in opposition to imperialism, found itself in control not only of Cuba, but of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Hawaiian Islands.” http://www.conspiracy-times.com

The Sinking of the RMS Lusitania

The first clear indication of increased peril to RMS Lusitania was the extraordinary notice placed in American newspapers by the German Embassy on 1 May 1915, the day the Cunarder sailed: “Travellers intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or of any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.“   http://www.gwpda.org/

“It’s also not clear to me whether rifle bullets are “explosive” enough to be responsible for the damage to the ship. The German U-boat commander insists he fired just one torpedo; the ship incurred significant damage, but was then destroyed by a secondary explosion.

“What had caused the second huge explosion? The Lusitania’s secret cargo manifest gives some clues. Among the mundane items were 3863 “boxes of cheese”, each weighing 40 pounds. Their destination was a Liverpool post-office box number, which turned out to belong to the Superintendent of the Naval Experimental Establishment at Shoeburyness! Then there were the 323 bales of “furs”, destined for the Liverpool firm of B.F. Babcock and Co. Babcock’s had never dealt in fur, but had previously received several shipments of gun-cotton, a commodity known to be highly explosive when coming into contact with water..” http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com2/

1,198 people were killed when the Lusitania was sunk. Her manifest showed that she carried 4,200,000 rounds of rifle cartridges, 1,250 empty shell cases, and 18 cases of non-explosive fuses. The Cunard Line considered this legitimate cargo to be included on a cruise liner with civilian passengers entering a war territory. The Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat on 7 May 1915 and sank in 18 minutes, eight miles (15 km) off the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland. This event dragged the US into WWI.

December 7, 1941, a date that will live in Infamy

The supposed “sneak attack” by Japanese forces on the US Navel Base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii may not have been that at all. In fact, it appears President Roosevelt had been expecting the attack for some time.

“On October 7, 1940, Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum of the Office of Naval Intelligence submitted a memo to Navy Captains Walter Anderson and Dudley Knox. Captains Anderson and Knox were two of President Roosevelt’s most trusted military advisors.

“The memo detailed an 8-step plan to provoke Japan into attacking the United States. President Roosevelt, over the course of 1941, implemented all 8 of the recommendations contained in the McCollum memo. Following the eighth provocation, Japan attacked. The public was told that it was a complete surprise, an “intelligence failure”, and America entered World War Two.

“This memo, which proves that the government of the United States desired to lure Japan into an attack, was declassified in 1994.”

Gulf of Tonkin

On the night of August 4, 1964, the U.S. Navy destroyers Maddox and Turner Joy reported that they were being attacked by North Vietnamese torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. This attack on US forces that resulted in the US Congress demanding that we take military action in Vietnam, never really happened.

“Almost everyone on the two destroyers believed, during the incident, that they were under attack. Some still believe so, while others have since decided that what had appeared on radar screens, as torpedo boats had actually been false images generated by weather conditions, birds, or American planes overhead. Consideration of all of the evidence—the testimony of U.S. personnel from the two destroyers and of pilots who were overhead, declassified U.S. records, communications intercepts, interrogation of North Vietnamese torpedo boat personnel captured later in the war, etc.—leads to a clear conclusion: there was no attack.” http://www.clemson.edu/

Yet, this false flag event even gets worse with the latest information.

“The National Security Agency has kept secret since 2001 a finding by an agency historian that NSA officers deliberately distorted critical intelligence during the Tonkin Gulf episode that helped precipitate the Vietnam War” http://www.sfgate.com/

As if looking at the Vietnam War memorial wasn’t already sad enough.

Fort Sumter

“The bombardment lasted through the night until the next morning, when a shell hit the officers’ quarters, starting a serious fire that threatened the main magazine. The fort’s central flagpole also fell. During the period the flag was down, before the garrison could improvise a replacement, several Confederate envoys arrived to inquire whether the flag had been lowered in surrender. Major Anderson agreed to a truce at 2:00 p.m., April 13, 1861.

“Terms for the garrison’s withdrawal were settled by that evening and the Union garrison surrendered the fort to Confederate personnel at 2:30 p.m., April 14. No one from either side was killed during the bombardment.

“The bombardment of Fort Sumter was the first military action of the American Civil War. Following the surrender, Northerners rallied behind Lincoln’s call for all of the states to send troops to recapture the forts and preserve the Union. With the scale of the rebellion apparently small so far, Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers for 90 days. For months before that, several Northern governors had discreetly readied their state militias; they began to move forces the next day. The ensuing war lasted four years, effectively ending in April 1865, with the surrender of General Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia.

“Charleston Harbor was completely in Confederate hands for the four-year duration of the war, leaving a hole in the Union naval blockade. Union forces retook the fort just days after Lee’s surrender and the collapse of the Confederacy. On April 14, 1865, four years to the day after lowering the Fort Sumter Flag in surrender, Anderson (by then a major general, although ill and in retired status) raised it over the fort again.” http://en.wikipedia.org

Final Comments

One last conspiracy to throw in that even though it did not lead to war, it did lead to a change in America that was similar to the resolution of a war, the murder of Martin Luther King.

“MLK assassinated by US government: King family civil trial 1999 decision. Why didn’t you know this? Martin Luther King’s family and his attorney, William F. Pepper, won a civil trial that found US government agencies guilty in the wrongful death of Martin Luther King. The 1999 trial, King Family versus Jowers and Other Unknown Co-Conspirators, is the only trial ever conducted on the assassination of Dr. King. The King family’s attempts for a criminal trial were denied, as suspect James Ray’s recant of what he claimed was a false confession was denied.”

Even though the late Martin Luther King was proven in court to have been killed by the United States government, there has never been any criminal charge brought or trials of the accused held. Even though this conspiracy has been proven in court, most American’s still consider this to be simply another conspiracy theory. The fact is the US government has been in the business of killing Americans for its own evil ends for a very long time. I do not think that our current cast of clowns running Washington has improved this situation one lick. I have written a considerable amount in this blog about our present national economic outlook and the impending food shortage on the immediate horizon. From where I sit, the only conclusion for these troubles, the only way out of complete moral outrage by the US citizenry as things go from bad to worse will be if our US government again takes us to war. They will do this to once again give Americans a common enemy. That is why I say look for a major attack on US forces this year and look for it to be bad enough for everyone in the Main Stream Media and Washington to start demanding that we launch a military action in retribution that will only lead to full scale war.

I guess I can now consider myself a full fledged “conspiracy nut.” I did not even get into the false claims about dead babies that led to the US involvement in the 1991 Kuwait-Iraq war. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ib6wL55EoM
