		<description>The US military machine has been hijacked by AIPAC.  AIPAC did this by funding only pro-AIPAC Congressmen and the Presidency.  The neo cons are not vanishing, they are playing chameleon.  They were never &#039;Republicans&#039; and certainly are not &#039;conservatives&#039; at all.  This is why all the AIPAC-neo con complex is totally indifferent to US trade and budget deficits.

Israel, for example, has had a trade surplus with the US for many years while collecting the biggest slice of US foreign aid.  Per capita, it is much greater than China&#039;s trade surplus.  China&#039;s surplus is less than 50¢ per person and Israel&#039;s is over $10 per person.  So there is no will power to stop the US trade deficit since it benefits Israel.  The theology of free trade is pushed relentlessly by many neo cons.

And the US military spending is pushed very hard by them.  The alarming statistics of our gross misspending in military matters leaves AIPAC and the neo cons utterly indifferent. So what, they think.  So long as they get to use this system, the amount it costs us is immaterial.  Japan and Europe, the G7 nations, also want wild US military spending.

It puts us at a great disadvantage in trade since they all can concentrate on civilian matters and it is a great tool to use when negotiating with Russia and China.  The neo cons believe that our military is a club to be used to get some leverage with Russia and China and this club is obviously used quite openly against assorted Muslims.

All this interfaces with the many Muslim despots who hate populist movements.  These guys work with AIPAC and the neo cons to oppress and suppress any smidgen of true democracy that might be based on nationalism, not tribalism.  Many tribes can be controlled easily by despots if the despots are backed by US military power.  They don&#039;t care if we go bankrupt.

Worse, the revolutionaries and religious fanatics LOVE the fact that Israeli-first Jews and Muslim despots are jointly forcing the US into bankruptcy to China!  This is the cold irony of the situation.

		<description>In my lifetime - going from feeling a patriotism so strong that the sight of our flag and the sound of our national anthem brought tears to my eyes to the point where I can no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance without a feeling of disgust. May God damn the bloody Zionists, the greedheads, the slicksters, the liars, and the ignorant. This country, once so great, has been sucked dry and has no honor left.</description>

historians will start looking for the truth some time or other...

...and they&#039;re gonna have a hard time swallowing the official 9/11 conspiracy theory if they use the traditional parameters —motive, means, opportunity, and character— to figure out exactly what happened, especially in view of the fact that peak oil and sea level rise will have become painfully obvious as motives for starting a land and oil acquisition project. 


the 9/11 operation was a necessity, to get the project started before the motives for starting the project became obvious.

motive, means, opportunity, and character

…and premeditation, as israelis and israeli americans have been agitating for decades to rearrange the middle east, and PNAC even confessed —a year before 9/11— that they needed &quot;a new pearl harbor&quot; to get their project started.

not to mention the fact that the prime deniers of global warming are the AEI, exxon and CERA... the people with the most motive to deny that their motives for doing 9/11 exist.

.

now, that&#039;s how the historians are gonna see it ...and if that&#039;s &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; what&#039;s happening, &lt;i&gt;it would behoove the israelis, israeli americans, exxon and their fellow travelers to stop behaving as if that IS what&#039;s happening.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>no change.

...but the whole thing starts making sense when you include global warming and peak oil in the situation... seeing as how israel has to be secured before their american armies run out of gas and/or america collapses from oil shortages and looting done by american oligarchs who see the peak oil handwriting on the wall.

it&#039;s no secret that crude oil production has been flat for the last four years despite a doubling of drills since january of 2002.

it&#039;s no secret that without the particulate emissions from emerging economies ---emissions that shade the planet--- we might be seeing global temps two degrees C higher than they are now, and it&#039;s no secret that, if greenland and antarctica melt, we&#039;d see an 70 or 80 meter rise in sea level, which would wipe out the 70% of the israeli population that lives on israel&#039;s coastal plain.

so israel must be secured &lt;i&gt;now&lt;/i&gt;, before the oil runs out, by either (1) grabbing control of the remaining oil and rationing it out to emerging economies, or (2) grabbing high ground, aka the palestinians land in the west bank...

...the basic problem being: particulates that shade the planet settle out in four or five years, but the co2 that&#039;s causing the warming has an atmospheric lifetime of maybe 300 years.

so in this context, even the iran war makes a little sense from an israeli point of view, since they need to close hormuz and build pipelines from the persian gulf to israel in order to control energy flows to emerging economies... a last ditch effort to control global warming by controlling energy consumption...

...not to mention the fact that nobody in their right mind has much faith in the long-term survival of israel&#039;s protector, america, because america&#039;s been built from the ground up dependent on cheap oil... so peak oil is a threat to israel, at one remove.

.

if you compile a list of suspects for 9/11, using the traditional &quot;motive, means, opportunity and character&quot; parameters, you&#039;ve got to put israel, the israeli americans of the AEI and their exxon allies at the top of the suspect list.

seeing as how netanyahu thought 9/11 was &quot;very good&quot;, seeing as how PNAC said, in september of 2000, that they needed &quot;a new pearl harbor&quot;, seeing as how PNAC signatories were installed in the 2000 election recount in florida ---a state governed by a PNAC signatory and the brother of the president-elect--- seeing as how the 9/11 oil acquistion project will be paid for by the american taxpayer instead of exxon ---at a time when access to big oilfields is limited, and exploration and production costs are soaring...

...well, all that is indication of &quot;motive&quot; to stage 9/11, and once the PNAC signatories were installed in high government positions, they had &quot;means, opportunity and character&quot; galore.</description>
