Spring is in the air… along with missiles, bombs, lies, radioactive fallout, volcanic ash, and… pollen.
Two things are all but certain now:
1: this will not end well for 99% of the world’s people
2: a rather large number of future terrorists were created today
(as if Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo/Abu Ghraib, Spooks & Predators in Pakistan, and U.S. support for Israel’s theft and destruction policies weren’t enough ? how many of the 100 million unemployed and under-employed, Arab, Persian, and Asian men under the age of 30 just became much more persuadable to Jihad ? A Thousand ? Ten Thousand ? 100 Thousand ? A Million ?)
What is even worse is the idea that both 1 and 2 are by design, and that the Western “Democracies” are intent upon igniting a Holy War (or two) as well as setting a precedent for future operations against Iran, with today’s actions in Libya.
Now why would “they” want to do that ?
I suspect the answer is somewhere amidst the words: Interest Rates, Quantitative Easing, Deficits, Bailouts, Currency Exchange Rates, Credit Ratings, and most especially Derivatives.
Think of the coming destruction as a sort of ‘Jubilee’ for Central Bankers and their enabling ‘market makers’ and politicians. Or if you are familiar (pardon the pun) with the ‘Godfather’ movies, think of it as a classic Mafia ‘bustout’ (take over a business, max out it’s credit, steal it’s assets, then burn it to the ground and collect the insurance)
The Central Bankers have fiat printing presses, universal media, data-mining computers, intelligence-collecting satellites, armies, police, mercenaries, and nuclear weapons. They will win. They are playing with a double-headed Shekel.

always keep in mind that “they” want you to live in fear (it impairs judgment and prompts impulsive purchasing) to beat ‘em, don’t be afraid, be aware. and for those who have learned the hard way that best things in life are not derived from disciplined diligence, but from stolen moments in the shadows when the gods turn their heads, and who believe artists are capable of seeing things more clearly and would like some accompaniment to lament by, there is none better than Mark Knopfler’s masterpiece… (lyrics below)
I’m just an ageing drummer boy
And in the wars I used to play
And I’ve called the tune
To many a torture session
Now they say I am a war criminal
And I’m fading away
Father please hear my confession
I have legalized robbery
Called it “Belief”
I have run with the money
And hid like a thief
Re-written history
With my armies and my crooks
Invented memories
I did burn all the books
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man’s too big
The man’s too strong
Well I have tried to be meek
And I have tried to be mild
But I spat like a woman
Sulked like a child
I have lived behind walls
That have made me alone
Striven for peace
Which I have never known
And I can still hear his laughter
And I can still hear his song
The man’s too big
The man’s too strong
Well the sun rose on the courtyard
And they all did hear him say
‘You always were a Judas
But I got you anyway
You may have got your silver
But I swear upon my life
Your sister gave me diamonds
And I gave them to your wife’
Oh Father please help me
For I have done wrong
The man’s too big
The man’s too strong
