Syria WMD’s? Deja vu all over again? Did we see this movie before?

Well, well now…

How many times have you felt like, “Feels like Deja Vu all over again”?

They’ve been building up the Syria thing after they finally got rid of the guy who was on track to set up a pan-African currency based on actual real gold (aka “gold certificate“). What that means is, if you have a certificate that gets you what it says in actual metal, and what that means is that central bankers were going to lose control and Africa was going to get a little bit of economic independence.

Maybe you thought it was because he was a bad guy dictator? He was setting up workers’ councils in plants to run them. The Libyan government opened up its warehouses of weapons and gave them out to whoever wanted them to defend their country, because it did not fear the people. Out of the governments that were overthrown in the so-called (probably misnomered) “Arab Spring“, the one in Libya came stamped “Made In USA and Europe“).

Remember all the weapons of mass destruction they were going to find in Iraq? Deja vu all over again. Having watched the rebellion in Syria bog down, now they’re talking about the chemical weapons Syria is getting ready to use. Really? Did we see this movie before?

Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.–Psalm 35:8

Libyan terrorists make blacks disappear, and the USA is helping them in Syria?!*!

In Libya:

Black people have been disappearing all across Libya, with rebels arresting people simply on the basis of skin color, but how does a whole city go missing? It may be quite some time before we learn exactly what happened, but we have hints in media reports dating back to June, when Misrata rebels began openly talking about “cleansing” the region of blacks and were saying that black Libyans might as well pack up because “Tawarga no longer exists, only Misrata.”

And now Syria:

NYT Insults Intelligence in Latest Syrian Op-Ed

http://www.prisonplanet.com/nyt-insults-intelligence-in-latest-syrian-op-ed.html

While the NYT unprofessionally throws around adjectives like “despicable” “brutal” and describes the events unfolding in Syria as “slaughter,” even by the Syrian opposition’s own admissions and throughout reports by “top rights groups” like Human Rights Watch (HRW), they are fighting just as “despicably,” “brutally,” and committing “slaughter” just as readily. That is because it takes two belligerents to conduct an armed uprising – a fact of reality the NYT attempts to sidestep in their desperate appeal to what they must assume is an infinitely ignorant readership.

The Obama is following the previous interventionist policy that the USA and NATO undertook in fighting for the Kosovo Liberation Army. The same KLA that was on American and European lists of terrorist groups for its brutal abuse of enemies and prisoners, drug trafficking, and various other atrocities, taking them off the list only two months before so they could support them “legally”. Never mind that undeclared wars are still illegal.

So now they repeat the support of political cartels and now in Arab countries, support of al Qaeda allies

taking power. You might be tempted to say the pattern that began with CIA recruitment of Osama bin Laden is coming full circle.

What the NYT also conveniently fails to mention is that the rebels they are so adamant in defending, have outright rejected Kofi Annan’s “peace deal,” in effect rendering the entire deal null and void, declaring their intentions to continue fighting the Syrian government with the constant torrent of cash and weapons pledged to them during the last “Friends of Syria” summit – a summit that disingenuously supported the “peace deal” while openly making provisions to continue the bloodshed. How could President Bashar al-Assad withdraw troops then, even if he wanted to?

God is against so much warmongering, and most people hate war when they have to be in it, and those who love it don’t like it so much when they’re on the wrong end of the results.

The United States Constitution declares that only the Congress shall the power to declare war, for good reason.

The federation’s founders also spoke of “commerce with all nations, alliances with none” for good reason. Or, most of them. When I learned more about central banks and their history, and how hard Alexander Hamilton pushed for one in the Americas, I suspect some of them were not so much “for the people”.

George Will on Why Ron Paul is Right About Foreign Policy and Mitt Romney is Wrong

George Will on Why Ron Paul is Right About Foreign Policy and Mitt Romney is Wrong | Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee:
http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/02/12/george-will-on-why-ron-paul-is-right-about-foreign-policy-and-mitt-romney-is-wrong/

Writes George Will:

Few things so embitter a nation as squandered valor, hence Americans, with much valor spent there, want Iraq to master its fissures. But with America in the second decade of its longest war, the probable Republican nominee is promising to extend it indefinitely.

Mitt Romney opposes negotiations with the Taliban while they “are killing our soldiers.” Which means: No negotiations until the war ends, when there will be nothing about which to negotiate…

The U.S. defense budget is about 43% of the world’s total military spending — more than the combined defense spending of the next 17 nations, many of which are U.S. allies. Are Republicans really going to warn voters that America will be imperiled if the defense budget is cut 8% from projections over the next decade? In 2017, defense spending would still be more than that of the next 10 countries.

Do Republicans think it is premature to withdraw up to 7,000 troops from Europe two decades after the Soviet Union’s death? About 73,000 will remain, most of them in prosperous, pacific, largely unarmed and utterly unthreatened Germany. Why do so many remain?

Since 2001, the United States has waged war in three nations, and some Republicans appear ready to bring the total to five, adding Iran and Syria. (The Weekly Standard, of neoconservative bent, regrets that Obama “is reluctant to intervene to oust Iran’s closest ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.”) GOP critics say Obama’s proposed defense cuts will limit America’s ability to engage in troop-intensive nation-building. Most Americans probably say: Good…

Romney says: “It is unacceptable for Iran to have a nuclear weapon…” (Leon) Panetta says Iran acquiring nuclear weapons is “unacceptable” and “a red line for us” and if “we get intelligence that they are proceeding with developing a nuclear weapon, then we will take whatever steps necessary to stop it.”

What, then, is the difference between Romney and Obama regarding Iran?

Osama bin Laden and many other “high-value targets” are dead, the drone war is being waged more vigorously than ever, and Guantanamo is still open, so Republicans can hardly say Obama has implemented dramatic and dangerous discontinuities regarding counterterrorism. Obama says that even with his proposed cuts, the defense budget would increase at about the rate of inflation through the next decade.

Republicans who think America is being endangered by “appeasement” and military parsimony have worked that pedal on their organ quite enough.

Who is pulling the strings in the Middle East?

Libya’s new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels – Telegraph:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/8917265/Libyas-new-rulers-offer-weapons-to-Syrian-rebels.html

The new Al-Qaeda dominated Libyan government has been sending weapons and fighters by the hundreds to Syria. What’s going on there is not just government massacres but a full-out shooting war with both sides lobbing bombs and blowing up buildings, just like happened earlier in Libya.

Where is NATO in all this? Well, maybe the United Nations and NATO learned a little public relations lessons from the blowback they got from the West against their brutal assault on Arab governments with street surrogates.

It was all too easy to see in Libya. That rebellion, by the time it was done, came in a package stamped with really big letters “Made in the USA“. In a smaller font you could read “Assembled in the Eurozone”.

So with Syria they’re being more circumspect I guess.

Or maybe there’s something else going on here. Small-state Surrogacy might not have gone away altogether. It seems like Iran is shipping in a lot of help for Assad’s regime and a good number of trained fighters. Russia and China both put a nix on the push in the UN to add to the Arab League‘s condemnation of Syria.

It ain’t over till it’s over, so goes the saying.

The more you watch things, though, the more you realize, the Founding Fathers made some wise pronouncements on the matter.

Somebody strung some good quotes together at wikipedia in the “Non-interventionism” entry:

George Washington, the first U.S. President, advised the country to avoid “foreign entanglements.” Thomas Jefferson favored “peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.” John Quincy Adams wrote that the U.S. “goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.”
