Read What I See

 

     The political tool to stir public support is well known by government and politicians to be a crisis.  The bigger the crisis the bigger the support especially when the nation is told that we are in danger and that we are facing a common enemy.

     Here is a quote by Hermann Goering Hitler’s Reich Marshall during his post War World II trial at Nuremberg:  “Naturally, the common people don’t want war, but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it is a democracy, or fascist dictatorship, or parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. It is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounced the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.”

     Let’s go back in history and revisit the first event which launched the U.S. into its first International War.  The blowing of the battleship “USS Maine” anchored in the Havana harbor.  Spain was accused of blowing the ship although we could ask that who in their right mind would invite another nation’s ship into their own port to then blow it up and cause a war which they could not win.  Totally senseless, right?  Nevertheless, it worked and a century later, it was concluded that most likely, the magazine compartment of the ship blew up.  But by then it did not matter for in 1898 it served its purpose to stir public sentiment.  As a result, we occupied Cuba and the Philippines the latter actually fought a war against the U.S. as a result of the occupation.  Those who opposed the occupation were never recognized as those who fight occupying forces which is, freedom fighters.  Other gains from the Spanish-American war were the acquisition of Puerto Rico and Guam.

Other events that were used to stir public sentiment towards involvement in wars were:

The sinking of the Lusitania as the starter of our involvement in WWI.

The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese for involvement in WWII.

The Tonkin incident used for escalation of the War in Viet Nam.

Last but not least, the increasingly controversial attacks of September 11th 2001.

     As a result of those events, not only public sentiment was manipulated into supporting wars but also it at least temporarily boosted the popularity of the presently ruling leaders.

     Prior to 9/11 2001 the president’s approval and disapproval rate were neck to neck right at 50%. After the events of 9/11, we saw George W. Bush popularity rate jump over night to a height never seen before. With such support, it was not difficult to find public approval into going to war with Afghanistan and Iraq.

Our nation is now facing a similar situation in which mistrust in government and the sitting president popularity is continuously dropping.  Barack Obama’s popularity is just under 50%. It makes it difficult for a government to move forward with their plans when they are in a collision course with its own citizens.  So in order to distract public attention from the issues that concern them it is imperative for government to again manipulate public sentiment.  What do they need?  The usual vilification of a common enemy and a threat to our society and the world.  Who is sitting on the hot seat? You could easily guess right by saying Iran and North Korea.

     It is not to the best interest of China that we go after Korea and they will strongly oppose anyone that will try to interfere with the North Koreans.  Let’s be realistic to the fact that if China would have had opposed North Korea to become nuclear they would not be today.  Iran is not alone either for they have the support of China, Russia and even France.  France has not been a strong allied of the U.S. because of financial bulling.  France was the reason why President Nixon nixed the gold standard by refusing to further honor the U.S Dollar in gold.  When the U.S. became involved into massive dollar printing to finance the Viet Nam war France demanded payment of U.S. dollars in gold and the Nixon administration put a quick end to that.  We have never stopped printing since and we have yet to see the full impact of it.

     The Federal Reserve has managed to slow down the pace in which we are sinking into the financial abyss.  Millions of Americans are being fooled into thinking that this financial catastrophe is not taking place. Most of our citizens understand it and the rest refuse to accept it or don’t care.  Social unrest is already showing signs and our government will soon find the necessity to execute a plan to rally and distract.  The rhetoric that we hear clearly indicates that Iran has been single out.  Being put on the spotlight continuously and vilification should tell us that the rally is coming soon and Iran is the target.  The question remains if this time the people will bite into it. The results of whatever consequences follow afterwards may also be part of a well calculated plan.

     The Internet has giving the people the power that they never had before. They possess a rally point in which they exchange true uncensored information, facts, thoughts and ideas.  It offers knowledge like never before bypassing government indoctrination.  In today’s world, the Internet is the number one enemy of the State.  My guess is that if they don’t manage to shut it down soon they will lose control to the people.  It is very possible that the Internet may be the real target of the next crisis.

     The signs are written all over the news; there is an imminent crisis looming in order to again stir public sentiment towards government.  Its goal of Socialism and their much spoken New World Order do not have public support. The threat of Al-Qaida and terrorism is a topic that has already lost steam with our citizens and so are the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  So keep your eyes on Iran and the developing of this crisis but most of all; question the real intentions.

     Do not fall for fear indoctrination, our country possesses the power to destroy the world; it is others that fear us.  No matter what comes next avoid distraction and stay focus to the issues that are of real importance to “We the People” and not the governing elite that wants to radically change our nation and lives.
