Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh discusses the White House’s plan to attack Iran, circumventing Congress if necessary. Hersh also revealed the administration’s close involvement with Israel, in which both countries used the summer war with Hezbollah as a test run for a war with Iran. He discusses Nasrallah’s concept that the Bush administration is attempting to divide and conquer the entire Middle East, backing Sunni and Shia extremists to eliminate each other to weaken any unified anti-Western resistance. It’s hard to disagree with that theory when the US is doing everything but fighting real terrorist threats.

interesting… but I think he gives Dick and Bush too much credit.

@ yazo
How can anyone give Bush and Cheney too much credit? They have successfully just about done away with our Constitution, with repeated Congressional approval, and have made null and void three-fourths of the Bill of Rights.
There seems to be little that Bush and Cheney are not capable of doing if they think it will forward their neocon, corporatist/fascist New World Order where all of us everywhere are just slaves to the wealthiest five percent of the world.
In fact, the thing that makes Dick and Dubya dangerous is in fact that many have repeatedly failed to give them enough credit for their evil deeds.

Hah..the nuts in the admin aren’t that intelligent…or so they want us to think? Hmm..actually, I doubt it severely. They couldn’t even detect North Korea’s nuclear development until the nation started flailing its arms in the air for attention. For them to orchestrate anything successfully is a highly unlikely.

iamapilgrim — firstly, I think they were getting “too much credit” regarding “protecting America.” In other words, there was an underlying argument of “keeping Americans safe” and “protecting American interests.” However, as we agree, the NWO has nothing to do with America, United States, etc.
So, I think they’re given too much credit regarding any sensable, progressive, outlandish, excuse to carry out their agenda.
My question is: At what point my friend, do you think this larger, true, agenda will begin to be brought up in the same manner that people have (finally) started asking the important questions regarding the current immediate situations/conflicts that have offically “hit the fan.” Do you think that this agenda will begin to find its way to being exposed soon?

Friend yazo,
What George Bush and his cabal of neocons have done in terms of protecting America is in a word NOTHING. All that has transpired since the “terrorist” attacks on 9/11/2001 has been a carefully orchestrated and executed plan by Bush’s bosses in the New World Order Corporatist/Fascist world which is the stated goal of the real government of the United States. The emasculation of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights in order to gain ever greater control over us. Take a look at the site http://www.newamericancentury.org/index.html to see the names of some of the key players.
What Bush and the Gang are doing has little do with being “sensible”. It has everything to do with being single-minded and ruthless proponents of the New World Order. These people are warriors dedicated to shaping the whole world into their vision of how things ought to be.
The other side of this grand plan for the New World Order is represented by the bankers who hold the world financial system in their grubby hands. The Federal Reserve is a very big part of the plan to keep all of us “field hands” out on the “plantation” to make certain that the top 2 - 3 percent of the world’s population, financially speaking, will ever tighten their grip on all of our lives. We live to serve their wants, plans and needs.
The wars in the Middle East and Afghanistan are just diversionary and have been used to pull the wool over many American eyes. These conflicts have been used to galvanize American thinking in relation to the “war against terror” (the endless war that Bush has so single-mindedly led us into). The American government has been playing both ends against the middle for decades. Check it out, who supplied armament and training to the same rebels that we are now fighting, and losing to, in Afghanistan? The U.S. through the CIA and other conduits, that’s who. Who helped Saddam Hussein gain power in Iraq…look that up too.
The larger and true agenda will never get “out there” if we are waiting for the mainstream media to do their jobs. The mainstream media outlets, especially in the U.S. are now owned by giant multinational corporations who are working hand-in-glove with the other corporatists to make their vision of the world come true. These corporatists have only two things in mind - power and profit. Most of the corporations that own the media outlets have branches that are directly profiting from the wars. They have no reason whatsoever to see that the truth about Iraq and Iran is told. It surely wouldn’t be profitable, and PROFIT is their god.
The true genius of the whole New World Order movement here in the U.S. to implement their agenda was to select (not elect) the dumbest, most pliable and ignorant sack of scum that ever sat in the Oval Office as the supposed point man. If George Bush ever had a good idea it would have perished in his empty head of loneliness. The focus is on Bush and his band of neocons when it needs to be on those who hold the puppets’ strings. It’s being done with ’smoke and mirrors’ and misdirection of national attention. Supreme Court Justice Felix stated it this way: “The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.” which may be the truest words that ever came from the mouths or pens of any member of the Supreme Court.
The problem is that not even one out any 1,000 American adults that you tell these FACTS to believe them or they are simply incapable of believing them. Sadly, all too many of us are so brainwashed that all we care about is what is right in front of us (e.g our jobs, our bills, our cars, our homes, our entertainment, are the Joneses getting ahead of us etc.). The dumbing down of Americans which has been ongoing, by design in our public schools, for decades was instituted by these same behind-the-scenes “…real rulers in Washington…” as Justice Frankfurter stated. This was necessary to prepare fertile “ground” in which the New World Order could be planted.
My Friend, I say again that the success and accomplishments of the real power behind and through their puppet Bush and his neocons cannot be underestimated. They did all this with most our citizens standing there watching and swaying with beat from the New World Order media. This was the slickest rip-off in history. And the worst part Friends is that it is still going on as we speak.

Wow. If this is how I sounded five years ago, no wonder no one listened to me.
:-)
I kid’. I kid’.
I kid’ coz I love.
Shit, you remind me of my old Larouche days. Running around D.C. like some stumbling rat boy, gathering information from the most serious of losers, liquored up beyond my own imagination. Geometric progressions, Kepler’s binoculars, all sorts of lessons on gold.. it taught me a helluv a lot. But it must not have taught me how to articulate myself in any coherent fashion because I think you totally missed what I was wanted to convey.
I’m with ya brother, I’m with ya.
We can talk about this stuff all day. It’s fun too. I feel like I’m in a spy flick or something… but with less cash and a way lamer pants for sure. “Don’t ya hate pants?”
Boy, oh, Boy… won’t it be a drag if the Fed starts lapping up our cash from the banks like there’s no tomorrow? What happens if we all go to the bank tomorrow and withdraw? Hell, I went there once to get six grand the other day and I had to wait like two hours! Whatya mean the bank’s outta money! Lousy banks.
But no fear my friend because the NWO is never gonna happen. Sure, all sorts of lame shit will go down as they push the accelerator, but hey man, it’ll be like never before in history, and we’ll be there to mop up the pieces when it’s all over. It’ll be a glorious time. It is a glorious time.
Anyways… point is: the REAL POWER behind this whole NWO debacle is nothing more than those pesky aliens.
I’ve seen ‘em. They’re vicious.
