[Gareth] Porter notes that vice-president Dick Cheney “hoped to use the alleged [Syrian] reactor [bombed by Israel in 2007] to get President George W Bush to initiate US airstrikes in Syria in the hope of shaking the Syrian-Iranian alliance”.The dreaded Shia Crescent. How come we never hear of the dreaded Sunni Crescent?In fact, Cheney wanted far more sites in Syria hit than the bogus nuclear plant. In his memoirs, the then-secretary of defence, Robert Gates, observed that Cheney was “looking for an opportunity to provoke a war with Iran”.
The Bush administration wanted to find a way to unseat Assad, crush Hizbullah in Lebanon, and isolate and weaken Iran as a way to destroy the so-called “Shia crescent”.[1]
Just over 100 years since the end of The Great War and Energizer Bunny Pompeo and the presidential son-in-law are making policy for this nation. Four-star generals have to listen to The Boy Adviser. And we sink further and further into the quicksand of endless war and skyrocketing debt.

I heard G Edward Griffin the other night on a Jason Goodman [ crowd source the truth ] talk.
He said that the kingmakers in the deep State were so powerful, so life and death powerful that it was impossible for any President to do anything without making some deals. He was primarily referring to his own speciality the Federal Reserve Bank.
He said that he had never recognised an occasion when the President appointed a Reserve Bank Chair who he [ the President ] had known personally. The suggested that many appointments were more or less forced.
In other words to do anything at all required awful compromise, and that the alternative
was Hillary Clinton.
An evil beyond Caligula.
The Saker paints a very disturbing picture of "neocons and their allies" and the enormous power they wield in our country. Trump drives me to distraction with his irresolution and broken promises but I don't doubt that he discovered after the inauguration what a powerful headwind Jewish interests pose for him. There's no doubt that FR heads are forced on the president. I am no expert on the FR but why exactly is it a money machine for the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers, is it? What was their initial investment that warranted the annual windfall of billions in interest payments?
Just as with Supreme Court justices - three out of nine, or 33% of justices when Jews represent but 2% of the population. Are Ginsburg, Breyer and Kagan intellectual supernova like Robert Bork and Scalia? Hardly. Ginsburg can't even bring herself to talk up the U.S. Constitution like it's something vaguely unique and special. No positive rights, she said. She should have been impeached but wasn't, of course.
And there sits Sheldon Adelson who has Trump on speed dial to tell him to do Netanyahu's bidding.
