Is the Doomsday Clock for Real? By Erick San Juan

Is the Doomsday Clock for Real? By Erick San Juan

The recent article of my friend Perry Diaz caught my attention regarding the controversial Doomsday Clock. Normally, when the clock reached the hour of midnight, it symbolizes a new day and maybe a new year when everybody eagerly anticipates a new beginning. But there is one clock that we don’t want to see the time set to midnight, and that is the Doomsday Clock.

From the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists - the Doomsday Clock is an internationally recognized design that conveys how close we are to destroying our civilization with dangerous technologies of our own making. First and foremost among these are nuclear weapons, but the dangers include climate-changing technologies, emerging biotechnologies, and cybertechnology that could inflict irrevocable harm, whether by intention, miscalculation, or by accident, to our way of life and to the planet.

The origin of the Clock can be traced to the international group of researchers called the Chicago Atomic Scientists who had participated in the Manhattan Project. After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they started to publish a mimeographed newsletter and then a bulletin. Since its inception, the Clock has been depicted on every cover of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Its first representation was in 1947, when bulletin co-founder Hyman Goldsmith asked artist Martyl Langsdorf (wife of Manhattan Project research associate and Szilárd petition signatory Alexander Langsdorf, Jr.) to design a cover for the magazine's June 1947 issue. As Eugene Rabinowitch, another co-founder of the Bulletin, explained later, “The Bulletin's clock is not a gauge to register the ups and downs of the international power struggle; it is intended to reflect basic changes in the level of continuous danger in which mankind lives in the nuclear age...”

In 1947, during the Cold War, the Clock was started at seven minutes to midnight and was subsequently advanced or rewound per the state of the world and nuclear war prospects. The Clock's setting is decided by the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and is an adjunct to the essays in the Bulletin on global affairs. The Clock is not set and reset in real time as events occur; rather than respond to each and every crisis as it happens, the Science and Security Board meets twice annually to discuss global events in a deliberative manner. The closest nuclear war threat, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, reached crisis, climax, and resolution before the Clock could be set to reflect that possible doomsday.

Originally, the Clock, which hangs on a wall in the Bulletin's office in the University of Chicago, represented an analogy for the threat of global nuclear war; however, since 2007 it has also reflected climate change and new developments in the life sciences and technology that could inflict irrevocable harm to humanity.  The most recent officially announced setting—three minutes to midnight (11:57 pm)—was made on January 22, 2015 due to climate change, the modernization of nuclear weapons in the United States and Russia, and the problem of nuclear waste.

Globalists repeating history? Just like in the First and Second World Wars, what could be the trigger this time? In the Western front, it could be the building up of tensions in Ukraine and in the Eastern side – the ‘red dragon’ agenda using the territorial disputes in the South China Sea as pretext to cover its internal problems of corruption and their overheating economy.

If we are going to analyze the factors that have contributed to the changes made on the Clock’s hands, we can see clearly that the hands that ‘manipulated’ the Clock are the same people that has caused the impending global disaster that hit or might strike humanity. The proliferation of arms (nuclear and electromagnetic), weather engineering (aka climate change) and the spread of unnatural diseases by viruses made in laboratories.

We have written a series of articles on the spread of ‘strange’ diseases and how the globalists used third world countries as their laboratories for testing these lethal germs through advanced science and technology in the field of medicine. And through the years both in our radio program and blog, we have discussed (through the help of our listeners and readers) in details how weather was (and still) being manipulated, unfortunately our country is one of their testing ground.

As the globalists and evil-minded scientists continuously push for their agenda of depopulation by dragging the world towards the dark ages through fear-mongering on the benefits of nuclear energy for peaceful goals, we will all die, the world’s ‘useless eaters’ and they will be the ones to benefit from the earth’s riches.

Imagine, since the inception of the Doomsday Clock in 1947, it was changed twenty times and it never reached midnight, why is this so? Are we blind as to the real agenda of the ‘chosen few’ for a global dictatorship?  We have to be intelligent and observant enough to see where they want us to go, and not just follow them like a herd of cattle to the slaughter house.

Always be vigilant!

Karmic Cycle by Erick San Juan

Karmic Cycle by Erick San Juan


When it rain it pours. The PNoy administration seems to be in a karmic cycle. The Mamasapano carnage happened during his mother’s birthday. China seems to warn the Philippines of a near confrontation coming. Timed with the commemoration of the Battle of Manila where Japan before World War2 warned the Philippine government that they will attack the country due to the Filipinos loyalty to the Americans then. The unabated oil price increase despite the oil price in the world market is going down. Added to these, prices of basic commodities are also going up, same is true with water and power rates. Plus the near shutdown of Malampaya will surely irritate everyone timed for the hot weather condition. The social discontent might reach its peak and could push the middle class and the critical mass into joining the clamor of some people’s organization to ask for the current leadership to step down.

What went wrong?

Is the US support to PNoy has already terminated? Looks like the Zamboanga security briefing to arrest Marwan according to some pundits was a sting operation. How come? Everybody knows that the peace deal with MILF was instigated by US and funded by Malaysia.

When the US drones simultaneously attacked the 46 camps of MILF during Erap’s time, Salamat realized that the US is a force to reckon with. He sent a letter to Washington DC in 2003 seeking help in forging an agreement. In Sept 2011, US Ambassador Kristie Kenney during that time secretly met with  Al Hajj Murad in Camp Darapanan in Maguindanao. Then the United States Institute for Peace and USAid made their presence felt in MinSuPala. Even foreign governments joined and supported the deal in disguise that a final peace plan be realized. Translation – they want to get the share of the big pie of GOD – gas, oil and deuterium plus rare earth minerals like uranium and palladium in Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan (Minsupala) in exchange for their financial and other support.

The ‘puppet masters’ saw that the Bangsamoro deal will not fly because it was hastily done between the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) and the PNoy administration without the consent of our constitution and the entire nation especially the stakeholders in Mindanao. Just like the MOA-AD (Memorandum of Agreement on the Ancestral Domain), it will not surely pass the Supreme Court approval. The worst, according to a diplomat friend, could it be that the secret deal of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo with China is being continued by the PNoy bright boys starting with the mining in Mindanao? These functionaries never learned from the mistakes of former leaders ousted or jailed for betraying their puppet master. “Kamalas ng mga Pinoy.”

In the midst of all these problems, it was compounded by the fear mongering of the first Filipino (a Pinay) infected by the  MERS-COV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome – Corona Virus) arrived in the country together with all the more than two hundred passengers aboard that plane from the Middle East. It was allegedly designed by the not so bright "bulong" brigade of Pnoy as a wag the dog op that will surely will not fly. This could also irritate the Saudi Arabian government making them the source of contagion. The whole Filipino citizenry is being dragged down because of the wrongdoings of our corrupt leaders.

Now that ‘truth’ was heard by the Senate headed by Sen. Grace Poe in an executive session, the role of the US government in the Operation Exodus (another floater to allegedly pinpoint the blame to the American dictate and intervention instead of blaming the president) did occur but the lady senator was very careful in her statements and promised that they will disclose pertinent information as long as the country’s security will not be at risk.

We all have to be vigilant as our elected solons uncover the ‘mystery’ of what really happened on that fateful day where 44 SAF commandos were brutally killed.

The threat of coup and withdrawal of support by AFP and PNP, the National Transformation Council, the left, the 2.22.15 Coalition and the Church are one in calling for PNoy’s resignation and its getting louder as we approach the anniversary of the so-called People Power Revolution.

Will the karmic cycle of EDSA I could pave way to the original plan of a 'Rainbow Coalition' of sectors from left to right to manage the nation?

Or our country is headed towards the new Afghanistan in the offing?

It’s really sad that we only have two choices this time – a CHANGE or have a FAILED STATE.

“In historical events great men (so called) are but the labels that serve to give a mane to an event, and like labels, they have the last possible connection with the event itself. Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will, is in an historical sense not free at all, but in bondage to the whole course of previous history, and predestined from all eternity.”   - Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi

Enduring Freedom or Enduring War?

Enduring Freedom or Enduring War?
By Erick San Juan

As I write this piece, the Senate is still investigating (in aid of legislation), on its second day the Mamasapano tragedy, with Senator Grace Poe’s committee. Each  senator have their own concern of what really happened through their kind of questioning. As I watch the Senate hearing, it came to my mind the big picture which we have to consider in order to understand ‘the play’. In this case our problem with the terrorists and bandits in the south.

Through the years there had been many efforts done both by the PNP and AFP to stop the terror acts and other acts of violence against peaceful communities in the southern part of the country. And this same perennial problem is also the reason why the US troops are ever present in the guise of fighting the terrorists. And again, the perennial question – if there is a concerted effort by both American and Filipino troops in the south to fight terrorism, why do we still have terrorists there? And the worst part is, it is known globally that our country is also used as training ground for terrorists from various terror groups. Translation – training ground for state-sponsored terrorists, that is why they are not being wiped out, they are still needed for future false flag and covert operations.

If this is the scenario that is prevailing for several years now, we are really doomed to be the next Afghanistan, or we are presently being mold as the new Afghanistan.

I would like to share here the article “Why the US Wants to Stay in Afghanistan” by Jack A. Smith (Global Research, January 07, 2014) he writes: "Afghanistan is especially important to Washington for two main reasons.

The obvious first reason is to have smaller but elite forces and surveillance facilities in Afghanistan to continue the fighting when necessary to protect U.S. interests, which include maintaining a powerful influence within the country. Those interests will become jeopardized if, as some suspect, armed conflict eventually breaks out among various forces contending for power in Kabul since the mid-1990s, including, of course, the Taliban, which held power 1996-2001 until the U.S. invasion.

The more understated second reason is that Afghanistan is an extremely important geopolitical asset for the U.S., particularly because it is the Pentagon’s only military base in Central Asia, touching Iran to the west, Pakistan to the east, China to the northeast and various resource-rich former Soviet republics to the northwest, as well as Russia to the north."

A Dec.30,2014 report in Foreign Policy by Louise Arbour noted:

“Most countries in [Central Asia] are governed by aging leaders and have no succession mechanisms — in itself potentially a recipe for chaos. All have young, alienated populations and decaying infrastructure… in a corner of the world too long cast as a pawn in someone else’s game.”

The first reason is identical with the presence of the Joint Special Operations Task Force - Philippines (JSOTF-P) in Mindanao. The Task Force was organized around a headquarters element, temporarily located at Camp Navarro, Zamboanga City, and 3 subordinate regional task forces. Camp Navarro is an Armed Forces of the Philippines facility. These Task Forces are: Task Force Archipelago, based at Camp Navarro, Zamboanga del Sur Province; Task Force Mindanao, based at Camp Siongco, Maguindanao Province; and Task Force Sulu, based at Camp Bautista, Jolo Island, Sulu Province.

A handful of JSOTF-P personnel also worked in Manila to coordinate activities with the US Embassy Country Team and AFP General Headquarters. JSOTF-P also includes a Joint Special Operations Aviation Detachment (JSOAD) to ensure special operations forces are able to move freely in country. The JSOAD maintains a small fleet of PC-12 and C-12 fixed-wing aircraft, complemented by Bell 214 helicopters for use in the jungle areas where U.S. and Philippine forces are collocated.

All US forces supporting Operation Enduring Freedom - Philippines operate under the Kapit Bisig Framework, a mutually agreed US and Government of the Republic of the Philippines accord by which JSOTF-P accomplishes its mission through and with its partner forces. JSOTF-P does not engage in combat operations and does not operate from independent locations. Instead they advise and assist Philippine security forces where they are: on Philippine government bases, compounds and outposts in jungle, village, and urban areas. Their efforts include intelligence sharing, support for mission preparations and rehearsal, civil-military and military-information support operations, casualty evacuations, and logistics. (Source: globalsecurity.org)

That explains the presence of US troops in the Mamasapano incident.

Although the US government through their embassy here kept denying the US involvement in military operations, there are evidences on instances that showed their role in the country’s military operations, as cited here by the WikiLeaks through the report by Jojo Malig, ABS-CBNNEWS.com posted at 09/14/2011:

US Special Forces troops have been directly involved in hunting down suspected terrorists in Mindanao, several diplomatic cables released by anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks revealed.

Cable 06MANILA3401, classified secret and sent August 14, 2006 in the name of US embassy deputy chief of mission Paul Jones, said US Special Forces troops and ships gave "intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance support to the 87-plus maritime interdictions" in Jolo, Sulu during an Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) campaign in the said year against Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) leaders on the island.

It added that this was made possible because the US Navy's Joint Venture and Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines' (JSOTF-P) Mark V special operations crafts and rigid-hull inflatable boats are already fully integrated into the Philippine Navy. The US embassy, however, wanted to hide this from the public.

In the cable's "if asked - press guidance" section, US officials are told to say that "US forces are not directly involved in this operation, but are providing support. Our forces, in a support role, advise, train, and share information with AFP forces."

Another cable, 06MANILA4439, said US troops also helped their Philippine counterparts intercept terrorists fleeing from Jolo in 2006.

"US and Philippine forces worked seamlessly to intercept two vessels (one of them high-speed) attempting to flee Jolo for Basilan," said the confidential cable.”

The list goes on and on. If the pretext will really benefit our nation, why not? So we wonder, why the denials?

Secondly, like Afghanistan, we have virtual temporary US military bases here already and increased US troops in rotational basis through the VFA and now EDCA. And the same reason – pundits believe that we are strategically located to serve their purpose of encircling China and the fact that we have so much mineral resources in the south that they wanted to secure.

And some analysts observed that our location is conducive to trafficking of drugs aside from trafficking of terrorists.

Is it true that the US has a secret drone base in Balabac, Palawan? Need we say more?

Clear and Present Danger: Philippine Setting by Erick San Juan


Once again our nation is undergoing a very rough sailing towards attaining yet another attempt to bring peace in the south.  This time around, more than 44 precious lives were sacrificed in order to deliver a ‘mission’ that up to this time is filled with ‘mystery’. So many questions left unanswered and speculations going around via the social media.

One glaring ‘speculation’ is the role of foreign cloak and dagger operators in the said Operation Wolverine.

According to Jerome Succor Aba, spokesperson of Moro human rights group Suara Bangsamoro, said that they were able to interview a 40-year-old farmer in Brgy. Tukanalipao, Mamasapano. The witness said he saw at least one body of a ”blue-eyed”, Caucasian soldier minutes after the deadly encounter that led to the deaths of at least 44 members of the Special Action Force (SAF) of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Aba declined to reveal the name of the witness for security reasons.

 “They (civilian residents of Brgy. Tukanalipao) were the first ones to arrive in one of the two areas where the encounters happened,” said Aba. The civilians arrived in the area after troops of the MILF withdrew to the Islamic Center in Sitio Inubog, Brgy. Pembalkan, Mamasapano, he added.

The farmer was even able to touch the nose of the dead soldier, Aba said. The farmer described to Aba the said soldier as “blue-eyed”. (Source: Kenneth Roland A. Guda, http://pinoyweekly.org)

Another source said that the caucasian was not an American but a Norwegian. Another said he's a foreign looking Filipino. Americans were most of the times suspected by so many people because of their visibility and the leak of information coming from the US patriots and netizens.

Ka Satur Ocampo wrote in his column at Philippine Star last Saturday, Jan.31 - “Oplan Wolverine” sounds so different from the familiar-sounding names of the series of AFP counterinsurgency projects over the years: Oplans “Mamamayan,” Bantay-Laya,” “Lambat-Bitag,” and the current “Bayanihan.”

Wonder not about its provenance.  Consider this: the US has tagged “Marwan” as a top terrorist and offered a huge reward for his physical elimination. It’s logical to assume that “Oplan Wolverine” was drawn up by US counterterrorist planners.

Reports say, in September 2014 US operatives gave definitive information to “ranking police officials” on the exact location of Marwan, evidenced by photos taken by CIA drones). A plan was hatched  – with explicit instructions from the Americans not to share the info with other Philippine security agencies and to coordinate only with “government troops posted along the highway on their way to their mission.”

That was what the SAF forces claim they did last Sunday. But President Aquino, in his address to the nation, blamed the SAF commander – who had been reporting to him directly – for failing to follow his instruction for “maximum coordination.” A case of insubordination? Or did the SAF obey a more powerful superior that led them to disaster?”

This is the crucial question that has to be answered by whatever fact-finding body that the government wish to create. It would all lead to the question of practicing transparency and accountability by all parties involved in order to give justice to the Fallen 44 of the PNP Special Action Force and other casualties, even though Malacanang has already denied the involvement of the US military in the operation.

That is why Atty. Harry Roque in his article last week at the Manila Standard cited that “because PNoy was out to please his American benefactors to whom he has surrendered Philippine sovereignty through the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, it is only but logical that four American GIs were sighted in the area. Obviously, since the Americans so badly wanted to capture the suspected terrorist as in fact, they offered a bounty of no less than two hundred sixty million pesos for their capture, it is but logical that Uncle Sam be on the ground to supervise the manhunt. And like PNoy, the Americans also did not anticipate that the MILF, because it has been receiving almost all of its Official Development Assistance intended for the country, would turn against the men that it has enticed to capture their enemy.

Clearly, the Mamasapano massacre has brought out a number of crucial policy issues that we, PNoy’s bosses, would now have to resolve.  Foremost of these is the extent that we would go to serve America’s interests in the region.

Frankly, many people have not heard of the two terrorists most wanted by the Americans until the massacre. Were the lives of more than 40 of our fellow Filipinos worth the botched effort to capture these alleged terrorists? I do not think so.”

Yes, this same policy issues had put the entire country in jeopardy since we joined the ‘coalition of the willing’ in the global war on terror (GWOT) which gave way to the American troops to have access to our territory and in the process put us in the crosshair of every enemy of Uncle Sam.

When are we going to escape the clutches of the mighty eagle when in every change of leadership this nation has undergone, there are always collaborators that has put the lives of every Filipino in danger.

It looks like the pattern of chaos in the Crimea-Ukraine war is being staged in Mindanao. You have to watch the movie or You Tube and review- Clear and Present Danger. A déjà vu of funeral and betrayal. While appearing to honor those who serve, a deadly betrayal by a political leader was served to the massacred US troops. The soldiers in the movie even attempted to call for reinforcement but to no avail.     

A strategic analyst told me today that the plan has a signature of treachery.  "Use carrot, confuse them all, let them fight each other and rule the leftover."

Do We Have an Option? by Erick San Juan



The recent presentation of some photos by strategic analyst Rommel Banlaoi during his television interview on the structures built by China in the contested areas in the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea), only proved one thing, that there is no stopping the Chinese on their majority claim of the SCS. They had fortified it with permanent structures through reclamation of mostly submerged shoals.

It is quite obvious that the reclaimed area holds an airstrip (a.k.a. aircraft carrier) in the middle of the hottest contested area in the region which escalated even more the already hot tension among the claimants.

Like what Veeramalla Anjaiah cited in his article – ‘War clouds hanging over the South China Sea’ in The Jakarta Post, China’s rising assertiveness, the firmness of claimants like the Philippines and Vietnam and the big powers’ interest in the region, have led to fears that tensions might escalate into armed conflict between the contumacious China and one or two claimant countries in 2015, said a top US think-tank in a survey recently. The Washington-based Center for Preventive Action (CPA), a research wing of the Council on Foreign Relations, rated South China Sea as one of the top 10 potential conflicts in its Preventive Priorities Survey 2015.

According to the survey, the other nine potential conflicts are Iraq, a large-scale terrorist attack on the US or an ally, North Korea, Israel’s attacks on Iran, the Syrian civil war, Afghanistan, Ukraine, cyber-attacks and Israeli-Palestinian tensions. “One high-priority contingency — an armed confrontation in the South China Sea — was upgraded in likelihood from low to moderate this year,” the CPA said.

And here is another view from David Tweed (Bloomberg), “When it comes to territorial tensions in the South China Sea, it’s more about what goes through it than what lies beneath it.”

When China established its air defense identification zone (ADIZ) setting its airspace control, this time they secured the area where “almost a third of global crude passes through the South China Sea, or 14 million barrels of oil a day," according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

"The countries bordering the South China Sea produced about 1.26 million barrels of oil a day in 2011— just 1.4 percent of the 89 million barrels a day the International Energy Agency says is consumed globally.”

This is the reason why Uncle Sam kept saying that they are more concerned with the freedom of navigation in the SCS which also include freedom or free flow of communication and technology.

“The South China Sea dispute is not some struggle for energy,” said Shi Yinhong, director of the Center for American Studies at Renmin University in Beijing and an adviser to China’s State Council. “This is a dispute for maritime territory and there is no compromise over claims.”

China says it is entitled to about four-fifths of the South China Sea, based on a nine-dash line drawn on a 1940s map that loops down like a cow’s tongue to a point about 1,800 kilometers (1,119 miles) south from China’s Hainan island. The area overlaps claims from Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan.

The HS 981 oil rig episode last year illustrated the tensions. When it was first deployed for exploration work in 2012, CNOOC Ltd. (883) Chairman Wang Yilin described deep-water rigs as “our mobile national territory and strategic weapon for prompting the development of the country’s offshore oil industry.” (Ibid)

There is actually more than meets the eye in the unending tensions in the SCS between China and the other claimants especially the Philippines when we filed a case in February 2013 against China’s claims at the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague.

But China, in a rare move on Dec. 7, 2014 released its position paper on the SCS dispute in which it claimed that the arbitration had no jurisdiction because the dispute was over territorial sovereignty.

Unfortunately, China stood firm on its position that the disputes should be resolve bilaterally among the claimants.

Last week, at the 5th Philippines-United States Bilateral Strategic Dialogue held at the Diamond Hotel in Manila, US Asst. Secretary of State Daniel Russel and Defense Asst. Secretary David Shear reiterated that the US government is supporting a peaceful resolution of disputes in SCS. But Asec Russel clarified that US does not support the content of the Philippine claim and they will not take a position on the merits of the case. He concluded that EDCA IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE US AND THE PHILIPPINES TO COOPERATE.

Then what? Do we have a choice? Poor Philippines. We are really cannon fodders due to our leaders wrong policies and weak negotiators. Let us wait and see until, maybe, just maybe something good will come up at The Hague?

The world is on the verge of global economic collapse. The rise of conflicts in so many parts of the globe are warning signs that more dangerous scenarios are approaching.

May God help us.

Sanctions to Self-Preservation: Prelude to War

Sanctions to Self-Preservation: Prelude to War
By Erick San Juan

Swiss National Bank (SNB) removed its exchange rate cap vs. euro. Swiss has been supporting the global exchange rate of EU (European Union) with its own money. Due to deflationary pressure, the Swiss economy is affected by the poor economy of the European Union despite the European Central Bank overprinting of money and quantitative easing policy through Outright Monetary Transactions allowing ECB to directly buy sovereign debt. Swiss National Bank feared that it may hold worthless euro paper money. This is the perceived reason by economic analysts and columnists  why SNB broke away from ECB, FED and IMF for self-interest. Like a coup, an element of surprise, it undermined the credibility of the global exchange rate stability or the Old Boys Club. (John Mangun, 1/17/2015)

This move by the Swiss National Bank is just the beginning.  Expect more desperate moves on the global economic chessboard in the days ahead.  But in the end, none of those moves is going to prevent what is coming.

And one of these days, another extremely important currency peg is going to end.  Right now, the Chinese have tied their currency very tightly to the U.S. dollar.  This has helped to artificially inflate the value of the dollar.  Unfortunately, as Robert Wenzel has noted, someday the Chinese could suddenly pull the rug out from under our currency, and that would be really bad news for us…

In other words, the SNB is no People’s Bank of China type patsy, where the PBOC (People's Bank of China) has taken on massive amounts of dollar reserves to prop up the dollar.

Will the PBOC learn anything from SNB? If so, this will not be good for the US dollar.

So keep a close eye on what happens in Europe next.

It is going to be a preview of what is eventually coming to America? (Michael Snyder, globalresearch.ca 1/18/2015)

While in India, Raghuram Rajan, the Central Bank head shocked India last January 15 by unexpectedly slashing the benchmark repurchase rate to 7.75 from 8%. He predicted the 2008 global financial crisis, he warned that world’s major economies were flirting with deflation. The threat of global secular stagnation and lower prices in India prompted him to act. (William Pesek, 1/17/2015)

The above-mentioned scenarios are descriptions how world wars predicated, that is, laying the predicate towards a global conflict just like during the Great Depression era. A déjà vu?

Nations’ banksters and big business are partly to be blamed why nations are pushed to the wall and in the process, engaged in war preparations.

While in Russia, credit rating agencies are doing the ‘dirty works’. In the article by Andrew Korybko he writes, “Credit rating agencies are predicting quite a storm for the Russian economy, and they are therefore threatening to lower the country’s status to ‘junk’ level. Just as a weatherman may be incorrect about their storm predictions, so too a ‘financial meteorologist’, except the latter has ulterior motives in doing so.

Standard and Poor has joined Moody’s in launching an attack on the Russian economy, hoping that the threat of lowering Moscow’s credit status will somehow translate into political changes in Eastern Europe. Although such an idea may seem plausible in theory, in practice it’s absolutely disjointed from reality and merely symbolizes the third wave of the economic war on Russia. This coming economic storm, cooked up in the West, is going to come up against the multipolar storm breaker of Russia and China’s own Universal Credit Rating Group (UCRG), expected to become active later this year. When the waves inevitably crash, the West may find that it has unwittingly and irreversibly damaged its own unipolar economic defenses and opened up a flood of multipolarity.

Russia and China, the two anchors of the multipolar world via the Russian-Chinese Strategic Partnership, are taking the initiative in creating an alternative institution to counter the West’s politically motivated economic ratings. This creates more openings for the actualization of full-spectrum multipolarity, whereby this concept makes the leap from the geopolitical to the institutional, with the long-term potential of rivaling (and perhaps unseating) the West’s ‘supremacy’ in the targeted fields. Importantly, however, this entire episode portends the division of the world into two camps, with the unipolar and multipolar worlds slated for their inevitable face-off sometime later this century.”

Such sanctions could only spell trouble for the world’s economy when sovereign nations like China and Russia are pushed to the wall, the only way out to self-preservation might lead to war.

Another False Flag Op by Erick San Juan



“Terrorism isn't a crime against people or property. It's a crime against our minds, using the death of innocents and destruction of property to make us fearful. Terrorists use the media to magnify their actions and further spread fear. And when we react out of fear, when we change our policy to make our country less open, the terrorists succeed -- even if their attacks fail. But when we refuse to be terrorized, when we're indomitable in the face of terror, the terrorists fail -- even if their attacks succeed.”  ― Bruce Schneier (an American cryptographer, computer security and privacy specialist, and writer. He is the author of several books on general security topics, computer security and cryptography)

The world is under the threat of terrorism (again) and since that tragic day in September 2001, the global war on terror (GWOT) has always been the valid excuse for staging war (and virtual occupation) of sovereign states in the guise of restoring democracy and persecuting the so-called terrorists. And now, in Paris – the heart of Europe, another terror attack against what they tagged as suppressing press freedom and/or freedom of speech and expression symbolized by Charlie Hebdo.

As in any other terror attack that happened in world’s history, one will ask – who benefits? In this case, who do we believe? Right after the Paris crisis, a lot of articles based on analysis of various writers and analysts emerged, trying to shed light on the mastermind or the intentions of such act of terrorism.

But because there were signs of a possible false flag operation by possible state-sponsored terrorists, we can never tell who is telling the truth, as in the case of 9/11. There was the ‘official report’ done by the US government but in the long run, witness after witness came out in the open and gradually the September 11, 2001 WTC attack is now openly branded as another false flag operation, and actually an inside job. Proofs are all over the internet, various groups of truth-seekers were formed in order to unearth the truth. And the rest is history still unfolding, just like the Paris attack, time will come (maybe sooner than we expect), that truth will prevail and the real perpetrators will be unmasked.

In the article “The Charlie Hebdo Rally: Media Distortions and Hypocrisy in Paris” by Stephen Lendman (1/12/15) he writes: French officials condemned Paris killings.

"Israel’s Netanyahu is a serial liar. US-led NATO leaders and Netanyahu are war criminals multiple times over.

Who mourns for millions US-dominated NATO victims? Murdered in cold blood? Noncombatant men, women and children.

Lost Palestinian lives and slaughtered. Others ruthlessly persecuted.

What about on average one defenseless Black youth per day killed by US cops?

Who holds solidarity marches for justice? Mourns victims. Supports surviving family members. Rallies for justice. Demands state-sponsored terrorism end. The madness of one imperial war after another. Senseless slaughter and destruction.

Trillions of dollars down a black hole of war profiteering, waste, fraud and abuse. Wars are dirty. Merciless. Unjust. Lawless."

Good ones don’t exist. Poet Robert Burns said “more inhumanity has been done by man himself than any other of nature’s causes.”

“Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.Out of sight and mind worldwide. Every day of the year."

Who notices their suffering? Who explains their grief? Who televises it?

What world leaders express solidarity? Which ones demand no more wars?

George Santanyana said “only the dead have seen the end of war.”

Howard Zinn denounced the myth of good wars. Preventing peace and perpetuating violence.

WW II was worst of all. WW III if waged will be the war to end all future ones. Today’s destructive WMD's  (weapon of mass destruction) can end life on earth.

Zinn said “we need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children.”

"No flag (is) large enough to cover the shame of killing (millions) of innocent people.”

Over a century ago, Mark Twain expressed outrage about America slaughtering Filipinos. Things were like today on a smaller scale.

"Imperial conquest is vicious. Having nothing to do with liberating oppressed people.

Or championing democracy. Free expression. A free press. Freedom of assembly, association, and religion.

The right of people to hold ruling authorities accountable. Receive redress for grievances. Institute governance of, by and for everyone. Equitably and just. A new dawn."

Mark Twain said “I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines.”

“We have gone there to conquer, not to redeem.”

"And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.”

“We have pacified some thousands of the islanders and buried them; destroyed their fields, burned their villages, turned their widows and orphans out-of-doors, (and) subjugated the remaining ten million by Benevolent Assimilation, which is the pious new name of the musket…”

He proposed a new American flag. Envisioning one “with the white stripes painted black and the stars replaced by the skull and cross-bones.”

Appalled that General Jacob Smith ordered his troops to 'kill and burn.'

“This is no time to take prisoners,” he said. "The more you kill and burn, the better.”

“Kill all above the age of ten. Turn (the Philippines into) a howling wilderness.”

Wars are lunatic acts. Resolving nothing. Preventing any hope for peace. Begetting endless violence.

It is perceived that waging perpetual wars reflects official US policy. Crimes of war, against humanity and genocide follow. Millions of corpses attest to alleged America’s barbarity.

Paris mourns 17 lost lives. Avoidable tragedies, victims deserving to live,  get equitable and just treatment.

Who mourns for the daily victims of US-dominated NATO ruthlessness from ongoing imperial direct and proxy wars?

Endless ones. Countless millions affected worldwide. The dead, dying, mutilated, suffering, deprived and exploited.

Who rallies on their behalf? Who demands lawless imperial slaughter end? Who accepts nothing less than peace, equity and justice?

Who puts their bodies on the line for them? Who resists growing tyranny in Western societies?

Who fights for democratic freedoms fast slipping away? Who demands responsible governments replace ill-serving ones? Who goes all out for what matters most?

Public rallies achieve nothing nor high-minded rhetoric. Committed grassroots activism for change alone works.

Sustained for the long haul. No matter the cost. The alternative is continued subjugation. Ruler/serf societies, ones unfit to live in.

The kind by some evil genius in Washington intends instituting worldwide. Unless mass public outrage stops it once and for all.

Rally for right over wrong daily. Support what matters most. Forget about Je suis Charlie.

Propaganda rubbish shoved down our throats. By Western oppressors vital to oppose. The fundamental issue of our time!”

These are the questions and comments being asked by millions of people and netizens worldwide.

Yes, we have our own share of being the victim, time and again of liberators-turned-oppressors conniving with leaders-turned-collaborators and sadly it is still ongoing.

When are we going to learn?
