Powder Keg
At any particular moment in time, “things” are going on around the globe that most people just aren’t aware of. No matter how many news feeds you have or how much social media you have, the fact is that there’s 7.5 Billion people on this planet. They make a lot of news, news you don’t even know exists.
For instance, were you to go to a site called thereligionofpeace.com you’d find that in just 30 days, we have seen there were 177 Islamic attacks in 30 countries, in which 1579 people were killed and 2186 injured. Did you hear about them? Of course not. You only hear about the “big ones” not the day to day bombings, stabbings, etc. Consider a few of these…
2016.07.18 Kazakhstan Almaty An extremist shouting praises to Allah murders a civilian and three policemen.
2016.07.18 Yemen Mukalla Ten people are blown to bits by a suicide car bomber.
2016.07.18 Syria Aleppo Sunnis send rockets into a residential neighborhood, taking out a child and two women.
2016.07.16 Pakistan Multan A model is strangled to death by her brother after offending religious conservatives.
2016.07.16 Iraq Tal Abta Five civilians are burned alive in cages by Islamic State members.
2016.07.15 India Kulgam A terrorist lobs a grenade into a group of policemen, killing one.
2016.07.14 France Nice A Muslim migrant mows down eighty-four Bastille Day revellers (including ten children) with a truck while shouting praises to Allah.
2016.07.14 Philippines Manilop Three off-duty soldiers are ambushed and killed by Abu Sayyaf while buying food.
2016.07.13 Iraq Rashidiya Seven Iraqis are laid out by a Fedayeen suicide bomber.
2016.07.12 Iraq Mahmoudiya Three shoppers are sectionalized by a Religion of Peace bomb blast at an outdoor market.
2016.07.12 Nigeria Akombo A school principal is among five villagers murdered by Fulani terrorists.
It goes on for page after page. Yet you’ll never hear about even 1/1000th of them. It’s almost like Business as Usual.
However it isn’t simply Islamic terror that you don’t know about, it’s things affecting every sector of life. This isn’t because you’re not alert, again the issue is simply time and news outlets. Do you have the time to weed through 250 foreign papers each day to see what’s going on in the world? Of course not. Nor do you speak German, Polish, Hungarian, Arabic, etc, which precludes you from reading any of the million or more web sites posting news. So you hop to Yahoo news, or Drudge, or CNN or FOX and you get to see what they present to you. Well, what they present to you is what they want you to see. If it goes against any of their political agenda’s, you don’t get it.
This “lack of news” is one of the reasons so many of us “alternative” types are considered conspiracy theorists. We state something from a source we read overseas, and because it isn’t talked about on CNN “it must not be true”. I’ve experienced this for many years. I’d see something in a European paper or Asian paper, and talk about it, but because no one else had heard of it….”Bob must be making it up”. I assure you I don’t make up anything. IF I have an opinion, I state it as opinion. But when I have facts, I post them.
Just recently the BLM movement took to the streets and started ambushing police. This was supposedly in reaction to the reports that cops had “murdered” Castille for nothing more than being black with a busted tail light. Then of course there was the post shooting video by “Diamond” telling us that the cop shot him for no reason as he reached for his ID. Yet I presented you with the real reason for the stop. There was an armed robbery of a convenience store in that area and Castille looked like the description of the armed gunman. The cop saw Castille and told dispatch this guy looks like the description.
I waited day after day for that news to hit the main stream. It did NOT. They don’t want the truth to come out they want you to believe what ever story fits their agenda and right now their agenda is to stir up the race wars.
Likewise in the financial realm, when I post something like the Swiss national bank owns 50 billion worth of US stocks, people don’t know whether to believe it since it’s never talked about on CNBC, etc. Yet it is indeed very true and one of the reasons the stock market continues to levitate. Central banks print money out of thin air, and then use fake money to buy real assets, thus destroying the whole concept of price discovery. What’s the fair price of a stock when no matter how bad their earnings, a bank can whip up a few hundred million and buy the stock anyway??
And so it goes. The media tells us that Putin is an aggressor, he’s trying to expand his land masses into Ukraine and Crimea, and yet it is absolute rubbish. I present you with the facts, but once again because the facts butt heads with the media’s version of what’s happening…most folks think I’m nuts. That may be true, but it doesn’t change the facts. We spent 5 billion to create a coup in Ukraine, and blamed Putin. Likewise in Crimea. The media said Russia “annexed” Crimea, basically stating he took it over. He did nothing of the sort. Crimea had open elections, watched over by the UN council, and 87% of the Crimean’s wanted to be part of Russia again.
There’s no question the world is a powder keg. Look at that mess in Turkey for example. No matter where I look, tensions are screaming higher. Isis isn’t dead and never will be, you can’t defeat an enemy that can always utilize lone wolves. Islamic terror is real and it’s bigger and wider than ANY of you ever imagined. NATO commanders have whined that the US isn’t letting them be even more aggressive. Putin’s reaching out to the media to try and tell the world that what we’re doing is almost irreversible…a march toward war. In China, the sabre rattling over the South China Sea is just as intense. China has said flat out, it has put it’s military on alert and that it will not back down if the US tries their hand over ownership of the Islands.
So, what’s it all about? What’s up with provoking Russia and China like this? Now for my opinion…There’s no question that the Central banks of the world would like to see a pretty big event take place so that they could let some real financial distress take place and then usher in a new global system. But the system isn’t quite ready yet, and yes I’m talking about the SDR’s that NO media outlets here are discussing.
The US is going to lose its role as the SOLE global reserve currency. Of that there is no question. The way I think it is going to play out is that individual nations will continue using their sovereign currencies, but a huge bond trade and balance of payments trade will use SDR’s especially for trade imbalance issues. So as this new system comes on line, (China goes live in October with their SDR’s) it’s my opinion that the US is trying to establish itself militarily, simply because they know that in the not so far future, we won’t have the financial advantage of being the only true reserve currency. Without that mighty advantage, they have to establish as much dominance as they can to keep other nations “in check”. Almost like recreating a cold war with Russia and China…to offset their loss of sole reserve status.
My fear however is that no matter how good the plan, something can indeed go wrong. This isn’t 1940 where battles are fought in close proximity. This is 2016 with missiles that can travel thousands of miles. What could start out as a conventional skirmish along the Russian Border or South China Sea can escalate awful rapidly to a much wider theatre.
There’s a lot going on out there friends, and not too much of it is “good”. Racial trouble, economic troubles, a bizarre Presidential race, terror, false flags, moral decay, military tensions, you name it. I want to remain hopeful that we get past this tumultuous time in good shape, but I’m really struggling to make it happen. Let’s just collectively pray for calmer heads and some real societal healing. Lord knows we could all use it.
