Two issues mattered in the midterm election campaigns and on the lips of politicians nationwide, and on the news 24/7, and trending on social media: ISIS and Ebola = 2 horsemen of the present American apocalypse — The escalation election. Republican candidates will arrive in Washington having beaten the war and disease drums particularly energetically, and they’re not likely to stop.
2015 = GOP ESCALATION of Protecting Americans from WHIPPED UP PARANOIA
2015 GOP NEOCONS SELL FEAR 24/7 = Buckle down, up the ante, and crush ISIS(L) EXTREME OIL REGIMES of the MONARCHS-DICTATORS — Goal is to increasingly fragment and create a chaotic SPLINTERED Middle East.
2015 GOP = SAME OLD TUNE = Make more planes, more drones, more bombs, more special ops forces, more advisers, and more boots on the ground. Use the 13 years of testing a recipe that always works on Americans = Tried and true FEAR ANS HYSTERIA with predictably disastrous results.
2015 GOP GOAL = Magnify Hysteria heading into the presidential campaign season and in the “debates” to WIN in 2016 with FEAR MONGERING PARANOIA.
NEOCON TERROR NOW USED ON A TERROR DISEASE THAT HAS RESULTED IN NO DEATHS IN AMERICA AND ONE IMPORTED DEATH.
Escalation FEVER in Congress and MSM will MAGNIFY ISIS(L) and EBOLA FEARS – LISA GRAHAM (R-SC) SAYS WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.
FACT: Ebola comes from eating or otherwise ingesting the vomit, blood, or excremet of an infected patient. Ebola no will and no mind and can’t beat the drum of FEAR for itself. Two of the three desperately poor West African countries where sanitation hardly exists and rituals of kissing the dead have had thousands of deaths. If sanitation, education, and help does not stop the spread then Ebola will undoubtedly be heading elsewhere in Africa.
FACT: The likelihood of a genuine Ebola pandemic in USA is vanishingly small.
2015 GOP = Ebola will be MAGNIFIED in the news in this post-9/ll USA as a means for further full-scale panic and hysteria, more draconian decisions by random governors grandstanding for the media and their electoral futures.
GOP = Will use Ebola to spread feeling of FEAR targeted Americans for a long time to come. = A force for FEAR escalation just like ISIS(L) beheadings and to win elections as the “WE DON’T TAKE NO CHIOT” PARTY of COWARDS.
FACT: Washington has taken a heavy handed militarized response to the pandemic in Liberia. Quarantining of an American nurse as a terror suspect = A “war-on-terror” template.
FACT: America has been lived in a phantasmagoric hyper landscape of CONSTANT SUPPOSED danger for 13 years now = Much like Israel has been for decades.
USA has built the most extensive system of national security and global surveillance ever created to protect Americans = LIKE ISRAEL — from a single danger — terrorism — despite the fact 9/ll being near the bottom of the list of actual dangers in American life.
USA = So invested in terrorism protection that every little blip on the terror screen causes further panic = SENDS $BILLIONS into the COFFERS of MIC SECURITY STATE PROFITEERS. = ONE HELL OF A POWERFUL SCAM + NOW ADD IN EBOLA FAKERY! = MORE TRANSFER OF WEALTH TO THE SUPER-RICH
ISIS(L)’s ESCALATORY BAG OF TRICKS
ISIS(L) = New Preeminent Terror Outfit in parts of Iraq and Syria grasps the American mental landscape clearly using beheadings videos handed to ex-Israeli agent to market in the USA.
USA MENTAL LANDSCAPE = EASILY SETOFF with MSM HYPE + NEOCON/NEOLIB HYPE! ONE-TWO PUNCHES OVER AND OVER!
USA MENTAL LANDSCAPE = Easily manipulated into NEW $TRILLION WARS
USA MENTAL LANDSCAPE = QUICKLY RESORTS TO BOMBINGS TO CAUSE PAIN
BOMBINGS BY DRONES OR USA PILOTS = ISIS(L)’s ticket to the big time in singular importance = Recruit more MURDERING PIRATES TO JOIN THEM = USA stamps them with just the right credentials needed to thrive.
FACT: Washington + ISIS(L) = Attached at the hip = SAUDI ARABIA + QATAR + ALL THE OIL MONARCHS
FACT: GOV + MSM = Will grow the pressures for escalation against ISIS(L) into $TRILLIONS in COST to the DYING USA MIDDLE CLASS.
FACT: ISIS(L) has talent normally found only on Wall Street or on Madison Avenue to MARKET its MESSAGE and HANDLE ITS $BILLIONS FOR WAR = SKILLS to market an image of a Bloody Barbaric Resourceful Propaganda and Murder MACHINE – GRADE “A” HOLLYWOOD MOVIE WITH INCREDIBLE INTERNET RECRUITING SAVY = LIKE EXPERTS and PhDs from HARVARD THINK TANKS.
WHO WINS IN WAR ON ISIS(L) = SUPER-RICH WAR PROFITEERS + BANKSTERS + BIG OIL MONARCHS-DICTATORS + ISIS(L) + ISRAEL AS IT TAKES MORE CONTROL OF THE REGION.
WHO LOSES IN WAR ON ISIS(L) = MURDERED FAMILIES + USA MIDDLE CLASS WHO PAYS FOR ALL THE PLANES AND WEAPONS AND AMMO…..
ISIS(L) = SKILLS can continue to produce beheading videos and other inflammatory online propaganda to keep AMERICANS in a STUPPER OF FEAR AND NEAR INSANITY – ALL HYPED BY THE USA MSMS AND NEOCONS! = “WE WILL PUMP YOU UP” escalation of WAR to exceed the $6 TRILLION PRICE TAG of the last 2 faked wars that were supposed to be over at the end of 2014 – ONE MONTH.
ISIS(L) will recruit “lone wolves” and the loose nuts and bolts of our world
FACT: MSM will magnify every lone wolf event with the usual over-reporting and hysteria — Further steps to lock down our world and elimiate our democracy and freedoms.
FACT: The damage a “LONE WOLF” individuals can do is modest at best = What a high school freshman with a pistol can do in a crowded cafeteria – Odd how mass shootings lead to few changes in our world, but a beheading leads to $BILLIONS IN BOMBINGS AND MAYBE $TRILLIONS.
FACT: New State Department Scenario = USA BOMBS take out OIL pipelines
FACT: SAME IDEA by “anti-American groups…bombing pipelines on which we and our allies depend…Result (in) global economic havoc.”
USA Military (PENTAGON) Trumps the Commander-in-Chief
Report by Mark Perry at Politico = General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on August 6th joined Obama in his limousine and, according to an unnamed “senior Pentagon official,” “really leaned into him” on the crisis in the Middle East, saying that it demanded “immediate attention.” = Next evening Obama went TV to announce BOMBING of ISIS(L) and within a month Obama essentially declared war.
MORE PENTAGON MANIPULATION OF OBAMA = NO “boots on the ground” in Iraq as Obama’s previously proud claim he had gotten us out of Iraq never to return — WAS OVER. BUT Dempsey and others in the Pentagon simply refused to accept Obama’s demand for NO BOOTS. — On September 16th, Dempsey himself stepped gingerly across the red line the president had drawn in the shifting sands of Iraq and Syria, telling the Senate Armed Services Committee in public testimony, “If we reach the point where I believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi troops on attacks against specific [Islamic State] targets, I will recommend that to the president.” Later Dempsey said a future campaign by the Iraqi army in Mosul he indicated would sooner or later be USA troops heading into battle with Iraqi troops.
A President Adrift in Bad Weather
Vietnam era = Once on the ladder of escalation, those in power, including presidents, often can’t imagine any possible direction but up, no matter how they assess where that might lead. A mentality sets in resulting in an ever-greater commitment of American resources (and lives) under the pressure of a powerful national security state that has grown to gigantic proportions always beating the drums for war along with reflexive GOP-AIPAC Chicken-Hawks = A society in which the MSM carries the water for WAR MONGERS makes it remarkably easy to create an atmosphere of hysteria, and escalation naturally follows. Never before have Americans experienced the INTENSITY of this combination of forces in this way.
The Obama White House has visibly been pushed around by PENTGON-AIPAC-WALL STREET WAR MONGERS FOR GREED and EXPLOITATION.
FACT: As the $10s of BILLIONS INVESTED in the IRAQI ARMY collapsed and went to WASTE in the northern part of the country, the only significant forces capable of defending the capital and Shiite regions to the south have proven to be highly sectarian Shiite militias = brutal as ISIS(L) enemies — burning homes and villages they captured, kidnapping and killing Sunnis.
FACT A “UNITY” GOVERNMENT in IRAQ = Simply not in the cards
USA OPTION = Further escalation of WAR — LIKE UNDER BUSH + LIKE OBAMA IN AFGHANISTAN = The nature of the PENTAGON AND WART PROFITEERS.
FACT: USA WAR Escalation is now structurally embedded in the Middle East and the FAKED Ebola crisis here at home = POWERFUL AIPAC-WALL STREET-BIG PHARMA-MIC constituencies fed by a blend of MSM hysteria and NEOCON panic that now passes for “the news.”
Escalation = Is in the interest of everyone who matters — except AMERICANS
