9/11 twenty years later and cheap & ubiquitous cellphones

by Andrei for the Saker blog

Twenty years have passed since 9/11, so where do we stand today? I will give my short answers as bullet points and then let you post your own conclusions. Here are mine:

Numerous engineers, architects, chemists, researchers and others have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that 9/11 was a controlled demolition.
There is very strong, albeit indirect, preponderance of evidence that the Israelis were deeply involved and that they had accomplices inside the USA.
From the two above I think that it is reasonable to assume that the Israelis were working with the US Neocons on a common project.
Al-Qaeda (which is a CIA creation in the first place!) had some parts of it activated by the US/Israeli deep states (which are trying to run the Takfiris everywhere), but only to play the role of a patsy (there were a few Saudis and there were real aircraft, but they did not bring down any buildings in NY).
It remains unclear to me what really happened at the Pentagon, but I think that we can take the notion that the aircraft over DC and NY were remotely piloted as a pretty good working hypothesis (which still needs to be proven).
Directed energy weapons, Russian naval nuclear cruise missiles, mini-nukes and the like are crude disinformation responses to the 9/11 Truth movement by the US deep state. These were only moderately effective and only convinced a, shall we say, specific type of “truthers” which are all rejected as idiots (at best) by the mainstream 9/11 movement.
The truth about 9/11 is now slowly getting “JFK status” which is “everybody either suspects/knows, but nobody really cares anymore”. It’s old news, especially in a society with an attention span somewhere between 2 mins and 2 days.
The real goal of 9/11 was to create a “patriotic pretext” to launch the GWOT and change the entire Middle-East into a compliant entity à la Jordan.
The GWOT was a total failure and one of the worst military campaigns in military history.
The plan to create a “new” Middle-East has totally failed and, if anything, created a stronger anti-Israeli environment than before 9/11. The fact that GWOT medals are handed out by the ton means nothing: after the Grenada faceplant Uncle Shmuel gave out more medals than participants took place in the entire operation.
The AngloZionost Empire died on January 8th, 2020 and the USA, as we knew it, died on January 6th 2021 (see here for a detailed discussion of these dates and context), almost exactly one year later.
By being murdered by the USA, General Soleimani won the biggest victory in his life.
The US will have to leave both Iraq and Syria sooner rather than later.
The Zionist entity calling itself “Israel” is now in a major political and even existential crisis and is now on the ropes and desperate. But they hide it a lot better than the US propagandists. But the Palestinians “feel” that, as do quite a few Israelis too.
Both Biden and “Biden” are now fighting for their political lives not only due to “Kabul” but also due to the way Biden has just declared war on those who refuse vaccines.
Anti-vaxxers might be many things, but nobody can deny them the following qualities: they are very strongly driven, for them the entire issue is not medical, but one of self-image, of identity and resistance to tyranny. Okay, some will quietly cave in, but many will not. That is why I strongly believe that Biden’s “declaration of war” against the unvaccinated “deplorables” (he did not use the word, but his contempt and hate was obvious) is a huge mistake. At least in the USA, I believe that there are plenty of anti-vaxxers who will rather die in a firefight than being vaxxed (which they sincerely believe will either chip them, or kill them in a couple of years). In other words, I do not believe that “Biden” has the means to force 80M+ anti-vaxxers to get the jab, in fact, if anything, his entire speech was a highly divisive slap in the face of millions of US Americans. Violence is almost inevitable by now. First isolated incidents, but possibly something bigger too.
The US economy is not growing or recovering. That is just playing with numbers or, “statistics” in Churchill’s sense of the word. The truth is that the country is breaking apart and slowly going “3rd world” (okay, there are already plenty of “3rd world” areas of the USA, but these are now expanding). The real Chinese economy is about 1.5 times larger than the real US one. Point, set, game and match China. By the way, the real Russian economy is comparable or bigger to the real German one, and the Russian economy has pretty much recovered from the COVID crisis (but it is not over, cases are still rising in some areas of Russia).
The US military has totally lost its ability to function as a real military. Ditto for NATO. They were publicly humiliated pretty much everywhere they set foot. This process is now irreversible. Point, set, game and match Russia, China and Iran.
Internally, the USA losing its cohesion and that centrifugal process is being accelerated by the truly insane internal policies of “Biden” (just Woke and Covid are a declaration of war against millions of US Americans). I am not at all confident that “Biden” can bring states like Florida or Texas to heel. I won’t comment any further on the internal US situation, but that needed to be mentioned.

Conclusions:

As with all Neocon type policies, they initially look “brilliant” only to end up in an abject clusterbleep and the Neocons hated by pretty much everybody else.
The Taliban won the GWOT (even at its best, Uncle Shmuel “controlled” about 40% of the country, max!).
The entire Zone B and a big part of Zone A now realize that (whether they openly admit it or not).
There is a good chance that the very public disaster in Afghanistan will now force the Europeans to distance themselves from a clearly senile, demented and weak Big Brother.
The core Anglosphere (UK/CA/NZ/AUS) seems to be consolidating around the “Biden USA” which might put them on a collision course with the EU. We are not quite there yet, but that’s where we are heading.
The COVID pandemic effectively “exploded” all the societies in Zone A which are now all in a low-level “brewing” pre-civil war condition. I do not see what anybody could do to change that.
The COVID pandemic will only get worse, which will only trigger more attempts by Zone A government to try force their population to “obey” and that, in turn, will only further destabilize all, repeat, ALL the regimes in power in Zone A.

The bottom line is this: 9/11 and the GWOT were initial, very short lived, tactical successes which resulted in a strategic disaster or, better, in a strategic collapse of both the AngloZionist Empire and the USA.

And, finally, this. I cannot prove it, but my reading of modern history and regime collapses brings me to believe the following:

I have always said that US policies, internal and external, are not really the result of careful planning as they are the result of various interests/entities using their influence and power to “pull” US policies in the way they want. And since there are A LOT of various interests/entities, especially in important cases, what we see is not a “policy outcome” but only a “sum vector”, an “outcome” which is the sum of all the different pulling and the relative strength of the folks doing that pulling.

I believe that this process has only been magnified but by an order of magnitude. What we see today in the US ruling elites is a huge “cover your ass”, “run for your life”, “protect yourself and your future” and even “grab it while you still can” and NOT, repeat, NOT “real” policies. Those who believe in a grand conspiracy fail to realize that what happened in Kabul is not the exception, it is the rule! Kabul was a giant spotlight which finally showed the true face of the US military to the entire planet: not the Tom Clancy kind of patriotic delusional hallucinations or Hollywood, but the “real reality” filmed “on the ground” on cheap but ubiquitous cellphones, by both Afghani and even US/NATO servicemen’s!

The problem for the delusional patriots is this: far from being “Putin agents” or anything like that, the million of folks out there who have cellphones with cameras (no matter how old or cheap) produce such a raw volume of data which makes it impossible to suppress. The exact same goes for the Israelis, by the way, who have paid a huge price in terms of “losing the propaganda war” since the Palestinians (and quite a few Israelis too!!) now use their cellphones more effectively than any Palestinian rocket or suicide-bomber ever would. That is also what really screwed up the recent US elections: ubiquitous cellphones (well, and CCTV cameras).

If we imagine the US/Israeli propaganda machine as a huge powerful animal (BILLIONS are invested into this) you can think of poor, oppressed people with cheapo cellphones as fire ants. Let’s just conclude by saying that time is not on the side of the big powerful heavy animal, but on the fire ants’ side.

PS: yes, I mentioned the POLITICAL aspects of the COVID pandemic. I get to set the rules, since this is my blog. The COVID topic remains banned on the entire Saker blog (Cafe included), EVEN if I get to mention it if/when it is part of my political analyses (I won’t touch the medicals aspects of COVID anymore, I have said all I have to say on this topic already anyway). Do do NOT, repeat, NOT try to “sneak in” some COVID comments or you will be banned. For the alternatively gifted: the article above is NOT about vaccines or the dangers of mRNA, it is about the political evaluation of 9/11 and the GWOT. Stay on topic or else…

Well, thanks for the “don’t think of an elephant” footnote.
That aside, it is a good report.

However, the illness and malaise you see in your domestic USA domain is also widespread across the western economies. Most are still in effective lockdown, if not by by the dreaded ‘codeword’ policy response, then by the hard economic fallout of what was already building since the financial crisis of 2007,8,9. For those outside the mesmerizing Hollywood bubble the class conflicts in the USA are blindingly obvious. But the (TV) medium is the ‘poppy’ message.

The western colonial economic theory has failed (that was being said by university professors in Masters degree courses in the early 2000’s in Australia) and the zombie golem stitched and glued together only by military adventurism (USA + NATO + Pacific poodles) is a brittle empire under risk of fracture. What has jammed the normal criminal musical-chairs ‘racket’ and MIC corporate gears this time round is a fundamental failure at the root core of the degenerate system inherited from the latter half of the 20th century.

And that failure was the belief that a wealthy revitalized Russia and China would be ‘westernized’ enough so that the elite criminal classes could simple expand with “growth” (unlimited) into all aspects of the decadent Yeltsin Russia and ‘opium’ Ma China. Russia and China ‘2.0’ are meant to have crossed the river by feeling the bones of the proletariat and thus joined the global party of exceptionals (like Saudi ‘princes’ etc) and reduced national government to little more than a shallow charade in the image of the USA or the monarchy running the UK. This game of deceit normally hides in plain sight as a fast moving three-shell shuffle (or two in the case of the USA) wherein the best politicians money can buy work for the Big$ money that can buy them.

Putin (and his team) and Xi and their ground-up communist party system prevented this scam virus from infecting the emerging world since Nixon-China and the Reagan-USSR tangos. These cultures/civilizations have now emerged resilient to all but the final nuclear WW3 scenario which would only benefit green-glowing cockroaches. The Russians have just completed the Nord Stream II in spite of everything the west (minus Germany) could throw at it. They are fracking NATO at more than the edges with S400 sales to Turkey (and others). Their economic and financial system is impacted but resilient enough (now with gold to trade with China and others on a non-US/London gold standard if/when necessary). Putin is not leaving frontline office until a suitable succession plan is enacted. Recent developments in foreign affairs domains suggest likely future outcomes.

China has a growing state-controlled economy (more than likely based on a modernized viable systems model similar to what Salvador Allende attempted to implement in pre-assassination Chile). The little Helmsman’s promise that “to get rich is glorious” and that some will get wealth first but everyone would then follow is now entering the delivery stage. China, by art and craft, has braided the rope that the American 1% sold them as rubbish and rags and is now in the process of tying the noose to the tree limb while they reach escape velocity.

Everything is poised and waiting for the butterfly wings in the Amazon (store or jungle as you see it) to set the next cycle into motion. And that is why the criminals of London City have gone hysterical in their so called parliament of the people at the failure and retreat of the USA from Afghanistan. It echoes with USSR dissolution anxiety. And whereas western pop-music and culture helped seduce the Soviet youth into change, it will be the sight of gloriously ‘bling’ wealthy Asians of middleclass means that will seduce the emerging armed to the teeth third-world ‘deplorables’ bunkered down in the lands between Canada and Mexico. The times are a changing, … again. The American globalist empire may well rattle along on its Amtraks with past glory momentum, and it may even retain the crown of exceptionalism, but it will be increasingly clothed in rags of irrelevance.

As for policy, Afghanistan and the USA are joined at the hip. Their abusive 20-year ‘marriage’ of opium fields and feminist action research was more than just a dumping ground for the military industrial complex economy (funded by the Federal Reserve I.O.U. machine). At a deep metaphorical level there was/is a common worldview and root-metaphor at play that binds them in a diseased ‘end of empire’ scenario. This can be framed in one word: Buzkashi. It is simply operating on different levels of expression in each locality.

Whereas this Central Asian horseback sport of ripping and pulling a goat carcass is still the proverbial ‘wild west’ image of American myth in Afghanistan, it has simply been transformed and sophisticated in the USA as ‘Wall Street’. Whereas a real ‘billy-goat’ is the currency in Kabul, the paper dollar-bill is the goat in New York. And it is this fatal (for empires) strange-attractor dynamic that now exposes both the core condition of not being “agreement capable” (as the Russians say) and not having an integral commonwealth policy capacity to drive government. Once the hegemonic military machine (and myth) become demonstrably deficient for the task of gluing the golem, then it (society) falls to chaos or fundamentalism — Islam in Afghanistan; and who-knows-what in the USA. Whereas the pain in Afghanistan begs opium; the pain in the USA begs Fentanyl.

So, with this fundamental failure and disharmony at the root core of a degenerate system real democracy (read ‘evil Popularism’) cannot emerge for the common good — and common wealth. The reasons why Russia and China are surging ahead is because their government/governance systems are aligned with their cultural roots. It is this inner alignment and harmony (or at least lack of disharmony) that engenders desirable futures. In the case of the USA (and perhaps Afghanistan) this harmony deficit impedes success when real competition emerges. The main difference is Afghanistan at least has a notional framework based on Islamic values, codes and practice. And failure there means very little in scale to anyone else. On the other hand, the USA has no such framework other than a Jewish-Christian-Science-lgbtqia+woke’ish-whatever tower of babble. And unfortunately for much of the planet, failure there means a great deal to anyone else.

Cheap hand-phone technology may be ‘fire-ants’ but here in the Australian lockdown penal plantation they are proposing to mandate all serfs must answer random location verification calls or be visited by plantation troopers – sorry, I meant police (paid for by citizens tax money). The future belongs to those who have their acts together; and at the moment it looks like the marshal-ant colony of the Middle Kingdom that will lead the way. And to some extent I believe this swing to authoritarianism in the failing west is a response to this trend. Welcome to the Chinese future near you – with ‘western’ characteristics, of course.

“The US military has totally lost its ability to function as a real military. Ditto for NATO. They were publicly humiliated pretty much everywhere they set foot. This process is now irreversible. Point, set, game and match Russia, China and Iran.”

If the US military is weakened to the point of being ineffective it will eventually lead to a run on the dollar as the only thing propping the dollar up at this point is the full might of the US military.

We’ve already seen Russia and China begin the process to bypass the USD in trade and as the fear of the US military recedes the impetus for nations to escape a collapsing USD (no-one wants to be left with worthless paper mache when the music stops) will gain momentum and a steady trickle will turn into a rampaging flow.

  I agree, and while there are other factors, being “backed by aircraft carriers” was the last stage (after being backed by gold and then oil).
  - Marcus Chapman on September 11, 2021 · at 4:19 pm EST/EDT
    
    Aircraft carriers are a highly visible, expensive sticks that can be eliminated with much cheaper highly effective hypersonic missles. They are not even capable of defending against one hypersonic much less a full salvo. I any confrontation with a worthy advisory, the carrier war will be over in short order. With the advent of more robotic weaponry, the US carrier force no longer has any longevity in a real fight. When was the last time someone took out a US naval vessel? I think they did that with a wooden fishing boat, which by the way was revenged by the downing of a airbus by the USS Vincennes. They gave the Captian of the Vincennes one of those medals you talked about.
    - Unaltered so far on September 12, 2021 · at 1:12 am EST/EDT
      
      Aircraft carriers outdated and ineffective.
      Except if they play the convenient role of ofshore 9/11 event trying very hard to stick their bow in front of a bypassing missile or fishing boat.
      Except when the Chinese build them, put them full of hypersonic missile capable launching aircraft or something..then they are a potential huge threat to scream about in the media when time is ripe.

        Aircraft carriers will be quite useful for The People’s Republic of China’s (“Mainland China’s”) forces if they need to invade The Republic of China’s forced on the island province of Táiwan. THe PRC will only occupy the ROC if the ROC changes its name for that province into “The Republic of Táiwan” with no mention of China in its official name,

        Im not sure carriers would have much use in that conflict. Considering the short distance between Taiwan and the mainland, and to secure, out of reach prc airfields ,why risk expensive, vulnerable carriers that may be within range of taiwans anti-ship weapons, and why use carrier based fighters that are forced to operate with reduced loads of fuel and ordinance, as we saw with planes operating off the Admiral Kuznetsov during the liberation of alleppo.

    For anyone that “follows the money” they will know that we currently live under a Satanic world where central bankers are literally creating something from nothing. As any Christian will submit only God can create. This is how they are able to artificially create money with no physical backing. Even Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman admitted on camera “fiat currencies are money backed by men with guns”.
    
    The US empire has been wound down, just like the Soviets with endless wars, and under a massive bureaucracy run by “Apparatchiks”. The transfer of industrial capacity overseas through Clinton era trade pacts has been even more damaging but it started much earlier in the Reagan years. It’s been probably 40 years in the making.
- A. Dane on September 13, 2021 · at 7:55 am EST/EDT
  
  The goal of 9/11 and the GWOT were to end the US status as Global Super power.
  “America is losing its world hegemony in a process of insane policies,” suggested by the Global Elite.
  Their plan was accepted at UN congregations, during the 90,s by a political spectrum of Socialist, Communist, Conservative, and Fascist politician’s, including Royal and Vatican participation. However, the plan has backfired in a worldwide hatred toward what has become known as the Global-Deep-state.
  “The Israelis were deeply involved” in the Neo Conservatives and Neo Liberals destruction of the USA.
  
  “Engineers, architects, and chemists have proven beyond doubt that 9/11 was a controlled demolition”.
  The 9/11 crater is named: Ground Zero. A military term coined in the 1960s, (during the nuclear bomb tests), defining a nuclear bomb detonated at the surface of the earth. However, nuclear weapons are exempt from any 9/11 debate as it exposes the global acquiescence from even non-US-allied-Nations. The British, French, Russian, and Chinese intelligence knows exactly what happened on 9/11, but these Nations kept their silence.
  
  Today,
  The US economy is tethering on bankruptcy.
  “The US military has lost its deterrence and justification. Ditto for NATO”.
  “Israel is in an existential crisis”.
  “Biden is fighting for his political life due to the US defeat in Kabul and his war against the unvaccinated”.
  9/11, Terror, the Crash, the theft, Migration, the Woke meme, and COVID are warfare against Humanity.
  This has left the western population in a sentiment to “rather die in a firefight” than bow to tyranny.
  9/11 will not be forgotten. People all over the world want revenge for +20 years of crimes against humanity.
  
  G.W. Bush is full aware that he and the Globalist Elite now face a greater threat from their enemies within.
  That is why we see Global elite stooges in a “cover your ass”, “run for your life”, and grab whatever you can, before the Imperial Army collapses from mutiny.

  I fully agree with the quotes.
Anonymous on September 11, 2021 · at 2:07 pm EST/EDT

Where I work no one even mentioned September 11 today, but a lot of people were talking about forced obedience and tyranny. And these are people who don’t follow current events very closely.
It’s going to be difficult to avoid mentioning the thing that everyone is discussing and thinking about.

I think Biden’s words and actions will take the US closer to collapse and internal conflict.

In Canada, Trudeau has demonized and is scapegoating those who question his policy, giving a green light for people to freely express hate for those who don’t agree with them. It’s not a positive development.

I can’t help thinking that if the US as a country (i.e., not as the empire host as we are used to seeing it) would have had much better and longer life if they have never got involved with GWOT and these false flags, if they only concentrated not on military but on business and economy (which happens to be their strength unlike war). Of course, avoiding that may not have been possible, but just as a hypotheses.

When one murders people far away from home, this unavoidably has moral impact on the nation and it heavily contributes to a broken society filled with conflict and enmity. You cannot make tons of money out of innocent blood and build pretty houses and material things hoping that your children and grandchildren will be well, happy, and enjoying that beauty, because that thing is infused with the blood of those people. Your children will carry the consequence of the unrepented sin and will suffer without understanding why.
- Harry_Red on September 11, 2021 · at 8:55 pm EST/EDT
  
  The Global War OF Terror is a consequence of the already historically existing US culture and morality. The wars did not make them corrupt, they were already corrupt.
  
  Actually let me rephrase this:
  
  The Anglo (US/CA/NZ/AUS) – Zionist (ISR and co.) alliance is the biggest collection of human scum in the history of mankind.
  - PB on September 13, 2021 · at 6:58 am EST/EDT
    
    Lacking a little nuance, here. NZ is more progressive than not, however, we’re bound by historical colonial ties, and as a small isolated nation feel forced by culture (and ColdWar bureaucrats) to appear to adhere to the US consensus. We’ve officially been outside the US tent since we rejected nuclear ships in our harbours, we’re far closer and pragmatic toward china and OBOR than we are allowed to admit, and in public discourse only need a little encouragement from the non-aligned/resistance axis to build better relations.
Tommy Apeiron on September 11, 2021 · at 2:17 pm EST/EDT

You have to remember, Saker, the conspiracy of silence that surrounds the events of 9/11 has been maintained for 20 years now! Our Zionist MSM is still blathering on about how the Muslim “terrorists” attacked us on that day and that was the justification for destroying “7 nations in 5 years”, to quote General Wesley Clark. The real perps of 9/11 are exactly those you named, Israel and US neocons.

The 9/11 wars were designed to bankrupt the USA both financially and morally. This was the Zionist plan all along. Netanyahu even bragged back in 1990 that the USA was a “golden calf” that Zionists would bring down and and devour, again and again! Yes, he actually said that at Fink’s Bar in Jerusalem! Why didn’t we listen?

  Oh I think we were morally bankrupted under Reagan in the 1980s and his pick to head the high court Sandra Day O’Conner, who stated that they the high court was determined to bring this country into the 21st century, and then made their attack on religion and ushered in the gay right movement, and it’s been downhill ever since.
  - Tommy Apeiron on September 11, 2021 · at 3:48 pm EST/EDT
    
    All the wars of this century were wars of aggression. We are truly morally bankrupt when we see the destruction of 7 nations in five years and the deaths of millions of people as a good thing. To be oblivious to all of this is even worse.

    Does one really need evidence?
    Not going into the solid case of “Russian influencing” (or RussiaGate? or ‘How Putin Trolls like Fred are Sooo spent they’re reduced to poisoning underwear and forums, you Nazi racists’) where there can be NO question that Trump couldn’t have beaten Hillary Clinton without electoral fraud, it strikes me as there are more than enough existing red flags in the public record (largest count in US history, classic discrepancies bet. Senate/Prez vote, etc) to take the honest position of at least being neutral, let alone out and out favouring complete and full State censorship of any discussion of electoral fraud in stark contrast to 4 years of Trump legitimate Presidency and the CCP mouthpieces/privileged white men that support him.
    
    Just saying…evidence is really not necessary to convince people who themselves are more than happy to think the dodgy dossiers of UK intelligence agents hired by the DNC is all the proof they need to call you a fascist and then proceed to beat you up over the hat your wearing.

  People lack historical perspective. Americans encouraged and abetted the Islamic terrorist network back in the 50s when President Eisenhower shook hands with Said Ramadan, the ‘roving ambassador’ of the Muslim Brotherhood, on the basis that “We thought of Islam as a counterweight to communism” (i.e. Russia and China).
  All was known in 2006 when Robert Dreyfuss (”Cold War, Holy Warrior”. Ike was president. Washington was desperate for Arab allies. Enter an Islamist ideologue with an invitation to the White House and a plan for global jihad.@https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2006/01/cold-war-holy-warrior/) wrote:
  
  ”It’s no exaggeration to say that Ramadan is the ideological grandfather of Osama bin Laden. But Ramadan, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their Islamist allies might never have been able to plant the seeds that sprouted into Al Qaeda had they not been treated as U.S. allies during the Cold War and had they not received both overt and covert support from Washington; Ramadan himself, documents suggest, was recruited as an asset by the CIA… “Historical evidence suggests Mr. Ramadan worked with the CIA.” Documents from West German intelligence archives, uncovered by the Journal [Wall Street Journal -2005), reveal that Ramadan traveled on an official Jordanian diplomatic passport secured for him by the CIA, that “his expenditures are financed by the American side,” and that Ramadan worked closely with the CIA’s American Committee for Liberation from Bolshevism, Amcomlib, which ran Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty (both CIA front groups) in the 1950s and 1960s. According to the Journal, in May 1961, a CIA officer with Amcomlib met with Ramadan to plan a “joint propaganda effort against the Soviet Union.” (
  Needless to say that Ramadan’s people served in Afghanistan as jihadists, fighting the Soviet occupation and were instrumental in the creation of Taliban, tasked to export the jihad in the ex-Soviet ‘stans’ and Xinjiang. The ”Treaty on Deepening Military Trust in Border Regions” between China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan of 1996 put a stop.

I’m a brasileiro living in Brasil. And I fear you can count Brasil out of Zone B.
- The Saker on September 11, 2021 · at 4:04 pm EST/EDT
  
  Oh no, I don’t think so.
  You are a Zone B country with a temporary comprador Zone A dictatorship.
  But let me ask you: how long do you think Bolsanaro can last?
  I bet you he will seek refuge, possibly in Israel, or end up in a jail.
  Kindest regards and my love for all things Brazilian,

    Living in the eye of a storm makes for shortsightedness, I agree.
    But, it’s not just Bolsonaro:
    – a fully compromised military establishment, in partnership with the colombian one in the drug trade.
    – an oligarchy that longs for open slavery.
    – a majority of the political class bought an payed for.
    And so on.

      I am not so sure that things are really so dark. Let me, respectfully, try my counter- arguments:
      
      1) The Brazilian military flatly told Trump that neither the Brazilian military nor the Brazilian land can be used by the US against Venezuela. There are still some sane patriots even there!
      2) Yes, your comprador elites are horrible, stupid, narcissistic and plain evil. But the Brazilian people are nothing short of phenomenal!! And yes, they are oppressed, but they see it. You know what an senior Argentinian officer who participated in the “dirty war” against the Argentine guerillas (Montoneros, ETA, etc.): “we won the military war, but we totally lost the moral one”. I strongly believe that this will also happen in Brazil.
      3) The rest of Latin America is resisting as best it can. And, NEVER forget what happened in Bolivia! Is that not a sign of hope for us all?
      Kindest regards

        Bolivia is different from Brazil because of the large indigenous population. Also, in Brazil the middle class is afraid of the lower middle class and the favela people, that weakens the left. If those people are educated, that will mean competition for middle class children and higher wages must be paid in enterprises and for domestic help. But of course the middle class is educated and realizes that there might be a choice between social progress and development which benefits all and a system which retains unjust privileges for the middle class. Hence the success of Enrico Cardoso and Lula da Silva, as well as Juscelino Kubitschek (a titan). America is a very bad influence and model, and its interests do not coincide with those of Brazil. They never do. China would be (or hopefully will be) a much better influence.

  Being a country in ZONE A does not mean a disadvantage or advantage but more the country is a member of the NEW WORLD i.e one noted primarily for its origins from African and European people. In my book, Brazil is ZONE A permanently, Te asseguro.

The latest proof that USA murdered that innocent family in Afghanistan as their final act….probably shot all those people at the gate isis-k explosion….maliciously crippled the Kabul airport and holds back Afghan funds when there are international calls for humanitarian aid in situations of desparation for its peoples when it suggests USA would like Afghanistan to end up like the Yemen humanitarian situattion…..surely
these USA acts of histrionic fear and self hatred of their collective failure will never be forgotten by Islamic peoples.

There is no question that 9/11 was an inside job. Those two building fell vertically, with perfect mathematical precision, proof that controlled demolition was used. When the buildings got struck by aircraft (?), numerous witnesses stated that they heard multiple explosions. This was presented by local New York TV before it could be censored.

According to one analyst, the Trade Center attacks were not only a pretext for war, but they were also a gigantic cover up. The Trade Center was also the largest bank in the US. Before it was “attacked”, somebody pulled off the largest heist in American history, stealing 100 billion dollars in gold, 100 billion dollars in diamonds and 100 billion dollars in bonds. After the heist the Center was blown up to conceal the theft. Fiction ? I would not dismiss it too lightly.

Were those buildings really struck by aircraft ? Quire a number of commentators have stated that what we saw were holograms of aircraft, shot into the sky from the ground. Maybe, maybe not. A day will come when we shall have all the facts.

Today I have been watching Fox News. It is commemorating 9/11, promulgating the old propaganda story that “terrorists” were responsible for the Trade Center attacks and not somebody else. Rather sad.
- Bill Jackson on September 11, 2021 · at 4:52 pm EST/EDT
  
  The thing that enrages me is that the Cabel chose to kill 3000 people in those demolitions. They could have chosen to do it on a Sunday morning, killing very few, but they wanted the towers full to get the desired public response. Heartless, immoral, evil, criminal, soulless animals.
  - Tollef Ås/秋涛乐/טלפ וש on September 12, 2021 · at 8:54 am EST/EDT
    
    On the other hand, Bill, please consider that they did it in the early morning offiice working hours, when only underlings and drudjes had arrived at work — and not the top business executives, bankers and speculators who would typically have arrived later on in the morning. : “Expendable deplorables” (which of the two groups shold i be referring to?)

    Not all the people showed up for work that day. Al franken was warned by ed koch to not show up @ work that day. And, as implied in a Corbett Report, it was important to have a Marsh-McLennan meeting that day, at the exact spot the ‘plane’ struck the building, to get rid of an increasingly pesky internal investigation into high-dollar shenanigans. No, the numerology dictated that it be on the 11th of the 9th month.

      Dear Larry,
      
      But one person did show up for work that day, and it was his first day at his new job. The former FBI agent who investigated the attack on the USS Cole, and had difficulties determining who was supposed to have made the attack. Remember him? John O’Neal.
      
      After the first plane strike O’Neal went into the tower to assess the damage with one of the Jewish bosses, I forget who; the boss came out, O’Neal didn’t. Another problem removed for them.

    Dear Bill.
    
    What makes you think that only 3000 died that day? That is the figure put out by the government, aka the people who created the event. Why believe liars? Renee did a mathematical hypothesis on the event and came up with a much higher figure. I would take Renee’s figures more than I would trust the US government and its figures.

The Andrei lost touch with reality. This expert was denouncing people for not taking an experimental drug, now he is trying to convince you of his favorite 911 story. He wished a very difficult life for his detractors – and then anouncing his “Christian” project. Man, the amount of disgust I have for you, you’d ve suprised. This site is only worthy to read guest articles.

I am not sure how a Baptist Deplorable like me could even begin to understand something the Muslims have been fighting about since pretty much the beginning of Islam. To me it is Orthdox verses Catholic verses Protestant. The only thing that seems to differ is the cost of disagreement in much higher in Islam. Maybe that is a strength.

  There is a book, “The Arabs at War in Afghanistan” Mustafa Hamid and Lea Farrell. It is a book that has a significant amount of detail of the history of the landscape in Afghanistan as far as Arab mujahideen groups go. It offfers a significant amount of insight into the manner in which these groups change and morph into new groups. Mustafa Hamid’s journey from journalist to participant at the highest levels in many aspects of the multiple groups that operate in Afghanistan’s sphere and to a limited extent the Middle East.
  
  It is an interesting conversation that takes place between the two and Lea Farrall appears to have included even things she disagrees with and offers a Western summary at the end of each chapter.
  
  I found the book to be extremely interesting as the Syrian conflict started while I was part way through the book. The shifting of allegiances of the many groups was interesting to observe while reading about how it had transpired in Afghanistan. It may assist you in being able to give more context to the use of mujahideen by State actors and the confluence between money, charisma, success, access to resources and finally failure in the way in which some of these groups change.

I remember when Al-Qaeda or linked groups tried to bomb the Twin Towers and weren’t very successful. Hollywood made one or two ( I think it was two,but it was so long ago) movies about that. Complete with FBI “hero’s” and “bad” Arabs. They crowed on about how stupid the plotters were. I recall thinking how mad that must make them to see that crowing.And that might make them strike again. So I wasn’t really surprised when I first heard about 9/11,and like most Americans believed the story the regime put out.

Then over the years I’ve seen so much hidden information that my view changed.I mostly agree with Saker in this article. My take on it is that for whatever reason (agents inside Al-Qaeda? or just Al-Qaeda on their own), when the plot to attack the Towers was hatched.The Israeli secret service got involved to guide it secretly to make sure it succeeded.They needed help from the US deep state (some elements at least of it) for that to happen.And the two of them (Israel and the US) for their own reasons covertly guided the plot to succeed.Clearing away any obstacles in the path of the plotters as far as paperwork,money,not being intercepted,etc. Including rigging the Towers to collapse,which engineers have said they wouldn’t have if only the planes were used. The Israeli and US deep state,took a plan that probably would have been detected before it could get going.That at worst would have been a large but not disastrous attack on the Twin Towers.And made it a overwhelmingly horrendous success.

So why would they do that? We know why Al-Qaeda might want to,the US support of Israel,US propping up one dictator after the other throughout the Arab and Islamic world.And the US even bringing troops into Saudi Arabia.And last but not least,the humiliating movies about the prior attack on the Twin Towers. But why the Israelis? Israel survives on US aid and protection,without it Israel would collapse.We know that,and most assuredly the Israeli regime knows that. What better way to get the US to continue,and even increase that support,than to become “battle buddies”,all in the same boat ,”fighting Islamic terror”. I remember hearing countless times on the news right after 9/11 how we were “just like Israel now” attacked by Islamic terror. And how “we need to learn from the Israelis how to fight Arabs”.It worked to perfection for the Israelis.

But why the US deep state,why would they attack our own people like that?
I think Saker laid that out in the article, ” The real goal of 9/11 was to create a “patriotic pretext” to launch the GWOT and change the entire Middle-East into a compliant entity à la Jordan”. But if I may,I will ad to that,to create the forms of a dictatorship in the US,Homeland Security,Patriot Act.They laid out all that was needed to use at anytime they wanted to turn the country into a totalitarian dictatorship. And they got to do that easily because of 9/11. That worked perfectly for them too.The big winners from 9/11 were Israel and the US deep state.The big losers were the Arabs and all Muslims,and the US American population.

The greatest crisis in the history of the world is taking place right now,…and discussion of it is banned on this site. I’m not talking about the disease, but rather the social and political ramifications of government violence against the people, and their pushback, as it relates to the disease. I will be bold and make a prediction: I predict the topic will no longer be banned on this site by January 1, 2022. However, by then no one will care because the consequences of it will be so immense that everyone will be talking and arguing about it in the streets and the idea of posting on this site will not even come to mind.

      Andrei:
      Thank you for this latest article… (for all the reasons).
      I can’t really add to it; I basically agree with all of it.
      
      I am pleased…at your moderation of conditional inclusion of the COVID-thing, in your words:
      
      … mention COVID, but did so in a purely political context.
      
      That makes terrific, plain sense to me, since I believe it to be approaching 100% political, in the larger context.
      
      One can see the trend, as you have illustrated, how intrinsic the COVID-event is in the controlled deconstruction of Zone A, since the time/milestone of the destruction of the World Trade Centre towers (2 or 3 wasn’t it?!)
      
      In summary of the trend, we see the wider, and wider adoption of behviours, especially within Zone A, of systemic “negative-sum gain gaming” of the formerly goodwill prevalent value-systems of north-western eurasian societies, notwithstanding the, at-the-same-time, very war-loving habits of the extreme ruling elite).
      As you and many of the other beached submarine commanders around here know what happens when there is widespread adoption of these behaviours: massive negative/destructive pressures on the society!
      In this case, many of those at the hydra-like head of the earliest adopters of the negative sum gain gaming behaviours, are fully aware that this propagation, inevitably, as definitely demonstrated through recorded history, is currently causing the destruction of Zone A societies.
      They have incorporated this knowledge by now more and more openly pursuing their hallmark insatiability for power and control, knowing that there crimes may be washed away from history with the embedding collapse and equally inevitable breakdown of credible documentation of the historical events, despite, nay, principally because of the widespread adoption of the silicon-based information management devices and infrastructure.
      
      Ironic, isn’t it?

  “The greatest crisis in the history of the world is taking place right now,”
  
  For some years, I followed the automaticearth.com blog. When those behind this blog came to Melbourne, I met them and showed them around Williamstown. However, this blog banned discussion of 9/11. Only the official version was acceptable. I realised that they were probably in the pay of you know who. I stopped visiting this website.
  
  Melbourne is now in its 6th lockdown. The police and the authorities are becoming ever more cruel and capricious. I have two young daughters who live there with their mother. It should be obvious to any reasonable person that this has nothing to do with public health. It is indeed the biggest event in world history.
  
  Australia and Canada have been selected to be prototypes – because they never revolted against their English masters. They have banned a medication that is commonly used in Africa and India – seemingly thereby solving their public health problem.
  
  My apologies if I broke your rules. But let’s be serious here. 9/11 is now ancient history.
  - Unaltered so far on September 12, 2021 · at 4:22 am EST/EDT
    
    Exactly that and we don’t have another 10-20 years to realise that today we didn’t care because we still had enough freedom left to give back. 9/11 proves it is possible to not believe the official narrative and still have “all those countries who naturally rival and fight” agree upon it or play along for reasons far beyond.
  - Andrew S MacGregor on September 13, 2021 · at 4:14 am EST/EDT
    
    Dear Alfred,
    
    If you do not study history, old or new, then you will never know how and why ‘things’ happen.
    
    You are correct in the assertion that both Australia and Canada have been prototypes, and that goes back to at least the 1980’s. Think of UN, WHO and its associate, the CIA.
    
    Again with the various Police Farces, it was in the 1980’s that they moved from protecting the communities and the people therein to ‘protecting the governments’, and that is what we are witnessing today. There was an American policeman, Jack McLamb who put out an ‘Operation Vampire’ article to warn the world what was coming. Nobody really listened.
    
    You have mentioned ‘the biggest event in world history’, well before 2020 that event was 911 and it’s ‘War on Terror’. And now we’re witnessing an even bigger event than 911, with all of its political shenanigans. And if it works then there may be even bigger events, until those profiteering from them implode or are defeated in war.

Interesting article. But Empires usually take hundreds of years to collapse, or at least a number of decades:
The British Empire began to collapse after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 when the monarchy ran out of gold and was forced to ask the Rothschild Bank to start issuing currency on its behalf in 1826. And it was WW2, started and funded on both sides, by the same bank that bankrupted Britain yet again and forced the collapse of the biggest empire ever known. That’s 130 years.
The US Empire was destroyed by the Dulles brothers that imposed war reparations on a defeated Germany in 1919, the first time such a thing had been known in history. US greed knew no bounds and the the US imposed such impossible conditions upon a defeated enemy that it ensured WW2 and the inevitable Breton Woods debacle that made the US collapse inevitable. No national currency can be a reserve currency, whatever it is based on, because it defies economic sense. From Breton Woods the fall of the US was inevitable and the only question was when. Biden, Trump, Neocons, Zionists, Jews, Israelis, and all the other entities writers point out have absolutely nothing to do with it. A total lack of economic common sense is the cause of the collapse. Again promoted by the Rothschilds…a bunch of faux Jews that are too clever for their own boots. So Dulles brothers, Breton Woods and greed killed the fatted goose (US) and a total lack of morals…you might add.
Simple…

  @”imposed war reparations on a defeated Germany in 1919, the first time such a thing had been known in history”.
  
  No, it was nothing new and unheard of. In 1871 Germany imposed on France war reparations amounting to five billion gold francs to be paid within five years. German troops continued to occupy French territory until the indemnity was paid in full, with the result that France paid off the entire sum early.
  The Peace of Brest-Litovsk imposed on Russia cash reparations to the tune of nine billion gold marks (on top of grain requisitions to the tune of one million rail cars of grain destined for Austria alone.
  Reparations have been imposed by France and Britain. President Woodrow Wilson, however, insisted that the treaty only seek compensation for damage to civilian property in France and Belgium.
  You are influenced by the ‘hidden histories’ of WW1 which try to revive the Nazi revisionism. All these ‘hidden histories’ have only one goal, to blame Russia for WW1-2.

  In 1919, the older Dulles brother was 31 years of age.
  The younger was 26.
  It is doubtful both were anything besides minor young functionaries at Versailles.
  
  According to many historians, it was the vindictive European victors (British and French) who set aside Wilson’s 14 Points (the reasonable American plank for peace negotiations), thereby creating the bitterness which gave rise to Hitler.

Since this is the 20th anniversary of 9-11, I think this video below is appropriate for all the tinfoil hat-wearing, basement-dwelling Conspiracy Theorists out there …

who believe in the Official Conspiracy Theory that 9-11 was perpetrated by some dudes in a cave in Afghanistan who were able to bring down 3 buildings with 2 hijacked airplanes in New York City, while also successfully crashing another “hijacked plane” into the Pentagon, in one of the most tightly guarded airspaces on the planet, also standing down the US Air Force in response to these multiple hijacked airliners.

Oh yeah, Mohammed Atta’s magical indestructible passport survived all of this mayhem and was conveniently found a few blocks from the World Trade Center rubble.

There is no limit to the crazy, ludicrous Conspiracy Theories that people will believe these days and which the Fake News Media will spew. As, Donald Trump, would say, This is Sad.

  “Found” passports belonging to terrorists seems to be a standard off-the-shelf item. In France, the passport of a terrorist was found “lying on the back seat” of the “getaway car”, but if that hoax wasn’t already obvious on the face of it, the story really fell apart when it was pointed out that the car was discovered 50 feet, uh excuse me, 15 meters, from a building that was owned and used by a hard-core Zionist outfit. Of course, you had to learn that revealing detail on a French dissident site, not on the lying MSM.

Well, Saker, if this is a taste of your new “short” format of article, I’m loving it. No words wasted, lots of punch – a shelf full of sitreps, very good, thank you.

Where will the Zionist vision go after it’s denied tenure in both Israel and the United States, from eviction and collapse respectively? Will it disappear or hover like a wraith, seeking another home somewhere? Or will the rich families park it for a generation or so, until the next set of global circumstances makes a place somewhere for it to invade?

I’m so unplugged that I keep hearing about the Biden thing but I haven’t seen any source material (nor do I care to). I’m with you on not wanting to discuss the medical aspects of the pandemic – we’ve all made our decisions by now, I would think – but the social and political fallout I think contains things that may compel you to look at the US scene more than you intended.

It’s a scene I’d prefer to avoid, frankly, but like you I live in the middle of it, and probably will not be able to ignore it. I did read the John Michael Greer book, with its excellent surprise ending, set in a future that is still 7 years away – it may come exactly true.

These are actually gripping times, you know, the kind of thing one looks back on and sees that there was a sharpened sense to the time. I was hoping for a quiet life…but I suppose if I must fight for sovereignty then I must. I suspect many other people are beginning to square themselves up to this possibility also. I think many people are more angry than they quite yet realize.
Katerina on September 11, 2021 · at 6:29 pm EST/EDT

This “attack” on World Trade Center, a plan hatched by Neocons and carried out mostly by Israeli Mossad, together with Deep State, had few other goals behind it and not just to unleash the ubiquitous “Global War on Terror”. We must also remember that immediately following 9/11 the so-called “Patriot Act” got wheeled out and hoisted on US population. Almost like it was prepared in advance! (sarc) Under this act the americans have lost any semblance of rights and freedoms they thought they actually had.
And I also will not eliminate the possibility of a huge financial heist behind it as well – with Zhids it’s always money, peoples lost lives are just a collateral to them. In fact a welcome one, since they exist with constant, raging and deep-seated hatred for all humanity.

Ah, the Bush era and their lies. So much hangs on the 9/11 deception. The wars, loss of civil liberties and the destruction of the Western world’s economies has 9/11 has its foundational myth. Many new laws and government departments where created almost over night. As if the legislation was already written and ready to push through. Two departments come to my mind, Homeland Security and BARDA.

BARDA has its genesis in Senate Bill S. 1873 “Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005”.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/senate-bill/1873

Lovely Bush era stuff and a bill that should be read closely, its final form is about the same as its beginning.

Grants like this… are written because of this bill and BARDA.

Agree with everything in this pithy summary. I would add that there is expert testimony that those planes were not physically capable of performing the alledged flying routes into the towers; also, no physical evidence of planes or passengers was fount at the pentagon or in the field (apart from a piece on the pentagon lawn apparently from a different make of plane); and the heroic cell phone calls could not have been made from a plane in that area at that time. And then there is WTC7 and the damning BBC footage announcing its fall, 20 mins before it actually happened. I think any sane person looking objectively at the evidence now in the public domain can easily reach a conclusion.

      The “Cell phone calls from the air” story falls apart in many ways. Some are more obvious that others.
      
      First, anyone who understands cell phone “cells” knows that they have a rather limited coverage area compared to a jet plane, and there simply is no way for the call to be “handed off” to the next cell phone tower that quickly.
      
      Second, cell phone towers do not have good reception or transmission high up in the sky because that would be an inefficient and costly design, spewing costly RF power where it’s wasted and reducing receiver sensitivity on the downlink. It’s quite cheap and easy to keep the power down near or below the horizon, and that’s standard, “always done” practice in the industry. The technology dates from the late 1940’s for two-way VHF base stations, long before cell phones were invented. So this is extremely strong evidence.
      
      Third, maintenance records show that these phones were removed from the Pennsylvania airplane in January 2001. That’s hard evidence. Those seat-back phones had become unprofitable.
      
      There are more indirect proofs, such as that none of the people on the ground actually talked to their loved ones, and just got gibberish from some supposed “operators” trying to connect the calls.

Goshawks on September 11, 2021 · at 7:32 pm EST/EDT

I would heartily agree with all but Points 9-10. I believe Success and Failure have been miss-defined. That leads to erroneous conclusions. If one goes back to pre-9/11 times, the emphasis of the Deep State was on protecting Israel. The physical ‘nation’. Success and Failure need to be defined around protecting Israel.

Libya is a good example of the Deep State’s overall ‘intent’: Muammar al-Qaddafi was seen as a danger to Zionist objectives and Israel proper. He was taken-down. But note how Libya was left: Under Qaddafi, Libya was authoritarian but prosperous. That prosperity was both good for the inhabitants and allowed for a build-up of modern weaponry (a danger to Israel). After Qaddafi’s take-down, Libya was left to fall into chaos. Various warlords ruled a fragmented state. The people suffered. Most importantly, Libya dropped off the ‘map’ of states which could harm Israel – for decades.

I view the post-9/11 ‘US jihad’ the same way: Nations which were seen as a threat to Israel (Iraq, Syria, etc.) were ‘busted up’ and rendered incapable of being a threat to Israel – for decades. The real objective was not to build-up democracies and prosperous countries, but to trash and divide-up those countries such that, again, they could not be a threat to Israel – for decades. The Deep State has succeeded in that objective. Plus, Iraq’s and Syria’s military strength has been reduced to where they are no threat to Israel. Mission Accomplished. (Iran may be a ‘rallying point’ in the future, but Saudi Arabia will try to contain the Shia Crescent.)

Afghanistan is an odd duck. It is no threat to Israel. I suspect that its geopolitical position put it in harm’s way. Note that what has happened to Afghanistan is eerily like what happened to Iraq & Syria (and Libya): busted-up and in chaos. It will take the Taliban a decade or two to repair the damage, supposing that the warlords do not devolve into infighting. I suspect that is intentional. It is similar to the Iraq & Syria situation, except directed more against Chinese and Russian ambitions. Again, Mission Accomplished. (CIA heroin-control was an added perk.)

In the wider World Picture, I suspect that we are presently-seeing some version of the classic Problem -> Reaction -> Solution gambit. In broad terms, it looks like slowly increasing World Chaos until the world populace screams for relief from their misery. Then, “out of the blue,” a Solution will be produced. The grateful population will instantly accept it. It will only be later that the True Intent will be discovered…

(This is how it will likely play-out, without any Higher Intervention. I am profoundly hoping for the latter…)
- Katerina on September 11, 2021 · at 8:21 pm EST/EDT
  
  To Goshawks
  
  Absolutely no argument that the so-called GWOT in ME was launched for the greater good of “Greater Israel”.
  “Problem-Reaction-Solution” gambit is all very well, but there is another word that I can add – it’s called a BLOWBACK. That is exactly what we are seeing now, and Saker had clearly identified it in this his summary.
  Couple of decades ago both Russia and China were STILL rising, still not strong enough, but that is no longer. Both are now standing firm and calling the shots. AZ Cabal did not anticipate that. As they say – all great laid plans… the blowback is so serious that this Cabal is literally in a survival mode right now. We will see a lot more of various desperate attempts to delay the inevitable but for them, their days are numbered.
  - Goshawks on September 11, 2021 · at 8:59 pm EST/EDT
    
    Hi, Katerina!
    
    Here, we have to decide whether Blowback is a ‘bug’ in the Deep State’s program, or a ‘feature’. I agree that Russia and China are now “strong enough” to resist. However, the DS has been monitoring those countries’ growth for decades; they had to have known Russia’s and China’s ‘trajectories’. So, that leads to the DS either being disorganized (a “sum vector” outcome, in Andrei’s words) or having incorporated Russia’s and China’s new behavior into their plans (a part of the Chaos). Personally, I lean to the latter viewpoint. We will see…
    - Anonymous on September 12, 2021 · at 12:02 am EST/EDT
      
      I would tend to put it differently. It is not that Russia and China were not ‘strong enough’ to resist. The ‘West’ was not strong enough to take on Russia or China and they knew that all the time.
      They failed to read the ‘tea leaves’ when on 26 April 1996 China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan signed the ”Treaty on Deepening Military Trust in Border Regions” in Shanghai, followed by the ”Russian-Chinese Joint Declaration on a Multipolar World and the Establishment of a New International Order, adopted in Moscow on 20 May 1997 and signed by the then Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Chinese leader Jiang Zemin (the Letter informing the Secretary of the UN of the Declaration was signed by the Representative of the Russian Federation… Serghei Lavrov). Followed by the ”Declaration of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation” on 15 June 2001.
      Was it only then that the West woke up to the fact that ”Shanghai Five: An Attempt to Counter U.S. Influence in Asia”? and a new set of measures needed to be put in place, occupation of Afghanistan being crucial. 9/11 and proclamation of GWOT followed almost immediately.
- Stand Easy on September 12, 2021 · at 5:13 am EST/EDT
  
  Afghanistan is an odd duck
  
  If you use your argument — something I agree with — that the Deep State’s primary function is to protect Israel, then it’s relatively easy to see that Afghanistan fits the bill for a country to be subverted or, better still occupied, with a pliant, pro-Western government in place.
  
  Afghanistan can threaten Iran’s — a country Israel truly fears — eastern flank. Sectarian schism between Sunni and Shias can be exploited to effect this end. A pliable Afghanistan can also be used to destabilise Pakistan, the only Muslim country with nukes — and with a population hostile to Israel — it is something that will not only help Israel’s security, but a bonus for (Zionist-friendly) India too. Further, not directly related to Israel but can be persuasive for the few who were looking out for America’s interest, it can also be used as a base to destabilise or threaten the newly independent ‘Stans to Russia’s — itself being exploited to the hilt then — southern border.
  
  Afghanistan is dirt poor — then and now — but sits on minerals worth more than a trillion dollars. The envisaged role of the relatively large Afghan military was to pacify their fellow natives while the occupiers extracted the country’s wealth for themselves — much like the way the Brits employed sepoys in British India to enable the ‘White sahibs’ to help themselves to India’s fabulous riches.
  
  You could say Afghanistan has a double whammy going again it — an important geostrategic location and a resource curse.
Kevin Frost on September 11, 2021 · at 7:49 pm EST/EDT

A couple of comments. The anti vaxxers now being drawn into play are otherwise known as American libertarian individualists. They have always formed the ideological core of the right and, as you say, many are more than just sincere. They are armed and many believe that what they aim to fight for are existential matters. I’d previously made light of the fact that the American right is armed to the teeth – but militarily impotent – because right/individualists, unlike left/socialists, are very hard to organise and get out on the street. This might be the one issue that could yank them away from their flat screens and sofas and out onto the public blacktops of their republic. Time will tell, but I agree that violence and insurrection are real possibilities now. I might mention in passing that John Michael Greer, author of Twilight’s Last Gleaming, predicted this as an aspect of a mundane chart he cast for whatever admin was sworn in for the 2020 Inauguration. He envisioned armed militancy that would start small but grow.

Soleimani: the biggest victory of his life. Yes. I think this might be even more true than we can presently know. What I mean is that the tides of time are vindicating what he pledged his life to; Islamic governance. Liberal governance is predicated upon this somewhat esoteric dynamic of systemic self interest. Just look after #1 and everything will work out for the best (and don’t mess with the system!!!). This is the credo of the libertarians. It’s not working. Instead, chaos, phenomenal poverty, corruption, homelessness, loss of every good one could name and more. The Iranian revolutionaries returned to their traditional idea of the good and established that as the foundation of governmental rationality. This is growing at a time when Western regimes are failing.

Israel is in trouble – yes. I think this is a consequence of Smoothie’s ‘Revolution in Military Affairs’. Allowing important technologies to ‘leak’ has brought strategic dividends. Upshot: Israel has little choice but to come as a guest (and on good behaviour) to the table set by the Russian Foreign Ministry. This will take time but it will happen, methinks.

Also what you say about ‘sum vectors’ of multiple political interests driving policy – as distinct from the coherent rational plan typical of rational actors (in the singular) favoured by ‘conspiracy’ thinking – is indeed the way of political decision making under conditions of a very highly corrupted oligarchy fostering governmental forces that are both incompetent and corrupt as well. And people are starting to notice. China presents a challenge to Western oligarchy. Oligarchy tries to respond by morphing into a technocracy (A. Crooke) but fails every task. Such failures whet the appetites of insurrection minded folks who have plenty of issues to be resentful about.

Your essential point: they have a multi billion dollar Media empire. We’ve got cheap smartphones. They’re losing. With each tick of the clock another straw of incredulousness is added to the camels back. It’s slow going but it’s going. As always, thank you for your insightful efforts.

A few observations:

South America seems to be flipping left wing with few people noticing.

Does Biden have it in for the Saudis? Something is happening with 9/11 disclosure and pulling missiles.

The resilience of the US dollar is astounding. The DXY index just doesn’t collapse. No Treasury auction ever fails. World’s greatest levitation act.

No one seems to understand that the F-35 might be too precious to use. Not just too expensive to risk breaking it but they might be scared of S-400 tracking. A shootdown would dwarf Afghanistan after effects.

America has been viciously divided for most of its history, it’s not that big a deal. What is a big deal is the creeping, hidden corruption running through the whole system. Gender neutral Navy Seals, Academic grade inflation, hyperspeed stock trading, it just doesn’t stop.

I think I can partially agree with the above analysis. I see the neocons informed by nihilism and a hubristic desire to effect “myth creation,” to put things in a nutshell. I do not take their stated aims at face value but rather as a sales pitch. If things have turned out badly, it could not have been otherwise given what they believe.
As for conclusion #6 and #7 I see things setting the stage for a great reset, only not the one envisioned by the James Bond-esque supervillian, Mr. Schwab — just my two hundredths of a Federal Reserve note.

What happened at the Pentagon, I was watching as all of this unfolded all those years ago and my first thought on watching the smoke billowing from the Pentagon was that it was hit by a missal. There was absolutely no debris, no engines, wings, wreckage, bodies, luggage, nothing but a smoking hole in the wall.

It was in 2003 or 04 that I was digging around in the internet and found an article about two Pentagon generals who were suicided with in a week of each other. One article and then it disappeared from the news cycle. Both deaths ruled a suicide and that was it except for the friends and families who stated the generals were not suicidal. Kind of curious and I really didn’t think much more of it, but it laid in the back corner of my mind like a cobweb in a dark corner.

About a year later I was again digging around in the net and came across a very limited and obscure site set up by vets who had been in Iraq and Afghanistan. there was one cryptic blog and I am paraphrasing which stated on or right after 9/11 two Israeli submarines were sunk off the eastern sea board, two boats and two generals. There are no links for the generals. I have since looked for that article and have been unable to find it. As for the blog, it was just an accident I found it in the first place.

I started searching the net using [ cruise missal strike pentagon}. Every square inch of the Pentagon is covered by security camera’s and at that time there were several video’s that were posted clearly showing cruise missals striking the Pentagon. Here is one from Veterans Today
Camera Two, Where Have you Been? (VT taking the gloves off) – Veterans Today | Military Foreign Affairs Policy Journal for Clandestine Services

As for the why and again I have no links, but there was an Army major on the other side of the wall with his entire investigative team. They had been investigating the disappearance of several trillion dollars from DOD and were getting ready to bring their evidence before congress. I am sorry that I only have the one link and no other, it was a long time ago.

Regarding your interpretation of the events of 911, over the years I’ve come to the exact same conclusions as you from bits of evidence that turn up here and there and improve the resolution of the overall picture I had starting forming about three months from the event (which occurred while I was trekking north of Barguzin, so that the narrative had already been established once I returned a couple weeks later to TV-ville), when sometime in December. the late night Japanese TV presented a documentary on controlled demolition. Nothing about 911 directly, just what a serious accomplishment is to get the job done right. That was an eye-opener. There is a faction within Japan who normally only get aired late at night, who oppose the Empire quietly and effectively.

The most important thing to understand about 9/11 is the relevance of a well-known and even proverbial anecdote from the reign and time of Catherine the Great.

Since 9-11 is an inside job, how should we see prisons like Guantanamo bay? What is their purpose, especially since the US gets a lot of bad press about it.

Is it really about gathering intelligence and preventing further terrorist attacks?
is it a display of power?
is it CIA-‘science’ (like MKUltra)

  Gitmo Gulag is America’s terrorism factory, where selected “detainees” are indoctrinated and redeployed as assets for America’s covert terror wars around the world.

Congratulations, Andrei. Pure gold.* This is why I keep Saker as one of my first ports of call each morning. Bullseyes all round, pretty well. Exceptional. Keep sluggin’, good bro!

* Almost. Do try to get well soon from your profound misunderstanding about the covid-flu. I speak from personal understanding, having had a minor bout with the original pathogen last year, at 79, and with the ‘delta variant’ this year, at 81, both seen off in a couple of days, at home, without benefit of either doctor or hospital, just with plenty of vit D and sunshine, and mega-doses of vit C: my stand-by for over twenty five years, with NO illness from colds or flu in all that time, The encounters with the covid-flu were considerably less than mild colds, both times.

We’re all human, and – without exception – we all have our silly blind spots. Me too, of course. So do ban me permanently from the comments if you please to. I’m not much interested in commenting here, and I can still read your sterling output, even if permanently banned from commenting. Or you can email me privately if you’re interested at all. Cheers bro! Respect! :)

@Saker,

The Russian foreign ministry has given a warning to the US ambassador regarding election interference. Do you think that liberals or anti-Putin factions have a higher chance of gaining more power in the upcoming elections?

RT reported a couple of weeks ago that the popular support for United Russia has vaned. I’d like to know your view.
2centsworth on September 12, 2021 · at 8:49 am EST/EDT

Well, thanks for the “don’t think of an elephant” footnote.
That aside, it is a good report.

However, the illness and malaise you see in your domestic USA domain is also widespread across the western economies. Most are still in effective lockdown, if not by by the dreaded ‘codeword’ policy response, then by the hard economic fallout of what was already building since the financial crisis of 2007,8,9. For those outside the mesmerizing Hollywood bubble the class conflicts in the USA are blindingly obvious. But the (TV) medium is the ‘poppy’ message.

The western colonial economic theory has failed (that was being said by university professors in Masters degree courses in the early 2000’s in Australia) and the zombie golem stitched and glued together only by military adventurism (USA + NATO + Pacific poodles) is a brittle empire under risk of fracture. What has jammed the normal criminal musical-chairs ‘racket’ and MIC corporate gears this time round is a fundamental failure at the root core of the degenerate system inherited from the latter half of the 20th century.

And that failure was the belief that a wealthy revitalized Russia and China would be ‘westernized’ enough so that the elite criminal classes could simple expand with “growth” (unlimited) into all aspects of the decadent Yeltsin Russia and ‘opium’ Ma China. Russia and China ‘2.0’ are meant to have crossed the river by feeling the bones of the proletariat and thus joined the global party of exceptionals (like Saudi ‘princes’ etc) and reduced national government to little more than a shallow charade in the image of the USA or the monarchy running the UK. This game of deceit normally hides in plain sight as a fast moving three-shell shuffle (or two in the case of the USA) wherein the best politicians money can buy work for the Big$ money that can buy them.

Putin (and his team) and Xi and their ground-up communist party system prevented this scam virus from infecting the emerging world since Nixon-China and the Reagan-USSR tangos. These cultures/civilizations have now emerged resilient to all but the final nuclear WW3 scenario which would only benefit green-glowing cockroaches. The Russians have just completed the Nord Stream II in spite of everything the west (minus Germany) could throw at it. They are fracking NATO at more than the edges with S400 sales to Turkey (and others). Their economic and financial system is impacted but resilient enough (now with gold to trade with China and others on a non-US/London gold standard if/when necessary). Putin is not leaving frontline office until a suitable succession plan is enacted. Recent developments in foreign affairs domains suggest likely future outcomes.

China has a growing state-controlled economy (more than likely based on a modernized viable systems model similar to what Salvador Allende attempted to implement in pre-assassination Chile). The little Helmsman’s promise that “to get rich is glorious” and that some will get wealth first but everyone would then follow is now entering the delivery stage. China, by art and craft, has braided the rope that the American 1% sold them as rubbish and rags and is now in the process of tying the noose to the tree limb while they reach escape velocity.

Everything is poised and waiting for the butterfly wings in the Amazon (store or jungle as you see it) to set the next cycle into motion. And that is why the criminals of London City have gone hysterical in their so called parliament of the people at the failure and retreat of the USA from Afghanistan. It echoes with USSR dissolution anxiety. And whereas western pop-music and culture helped seduce the Soviet youth into change, it will be the sight of gloriously ‘bling’ wealthy Asians of middleclass means that will seduce the emerging armed to the teeth third-world ‘deplorables’ bunkered down in the lands between Canada and Mexico. The times are a changing, … again. The American globalist empire may well rattle along on its Amtraks with past glory momentum, and it may even retain the crown of exceptionalism, but it will be increasingly clothed in rags of irrelevance.

As for policy, Afghanistan and the USA are joined at the hip. Their abusive 20-year ‘marriage’ of opium fields and feminist action research was more than just a dumping ground for the military industrial complex economy (funded by the Federal Reserve I.O.U. machine). At a deep metaphorical level there was/is a common worldview and root-metaphor at play that binds them in a diseased ‘end of empire’ scenario. This can be framed in one word: Buzkashi. It is simply operating on different levels of expression in each locality.

Whereas this Central Asian horseback sport of ripping and pulling a goat carcass is still the proverbial ‘wild west’ image of American myth in Afghanistan, it has simply been transformed and sophisticated in the USA as ‘Wall Street’. Whereas a real ‘billy-goat’ is the currency in Kabul, the paper dollar-bill is the goat in New York. And it is this fatal (for empires) strange-attractor dynamic that now exposes both the core condition of not being “agreement capable” (as the Russians say) and not having an integral commonwealth policy capacity to drive government. Once the hegemonic military machine (and myth) become demonstrably deficient for the task of gluing the golem, then it (society) falls to chaos or fundamentalism — Islam in Afghanistan; and who-knows-what in the USA. Whereas the pain in Afghanistan begs opium; the pain in the USA begs Fentanyl.

So, with this fundamental failure and disharmony at the root core of a degenerate system real democracy (read ‘evil Popularism’) cannot emerge for the common good — and common wealth. The reasons why Russia and China are surging ahead is because their government/governance systems are aligned with their cultural roots. It is this inner alignment and harmony (or at least lack of disharmony) that engenders desirable futures. In the case of the USA (and perhaps Afghanistan) this harmony deficit impedes success when real competition emerges. The main difference is Afghanistan at least has a notional framework based on Islamic values, codes and practice. And failure there means very little in scale to anyone else. On the other hand, the USA has no such framework other than a Jewish-Christian-Science-lgbtqia+woke’ish-whatever tower of babble. And unfortunately for much of the planet, failure there means a great deal to anyone else.

Cheap hand-phone technology may be ‘fire-ants’ but here in the Australian lockdown penal plantation they are proposing to mandate all serfs must answer random location verification calls or be visited by plantation troopers – sorry, I meant police (paid for by citizens tax money). The future belongs to those who have their acts together; and at the moment it looks like the marshal-ant colony of the Middle Kingdom that will lead the way. And to some extent I believe this swing to authoritarianism in the failing west is a response to this trend. Welcome to the Chinese future near you – with ‘western’ characteristics, of course.

Don’t know where to put this, so I’ll just put it here.

https://newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1400/06/21/1400062112225322123575444.jpg — A Mossad base at the Erbil airport, in Iraqi Kurdistan, was attacked by two unknown drones last night.

The US coalition has confirmed the attack on the Erbil airport, and has stated that two unidentified drones were involved. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Also last night, Kurdish media reported that a US base at the Erbil airport was targeted with 4 rockets.

And four days ago, the IRGC targeted terrorist bases in Northern Iraq, with combat drones and precision-guided artillery. The IRGC report on that attack states that it was very successful, and very surgical.

The Iraqi Prime Minister is currently in Iran, discussing economic ties.

As an aside, I actually was awarded a GWOT medal but refused to put it on my uniform. When asked why, I responded with how can you declare war on a method or tactic of warfare? Seems ridiculous like declaring war on hunger or something. What, are we going to bomb every hungry person in the world? Absurd! I’ve so many ribbons that are really meaningless already. It is embarrassing.

One interesting item about 9/11 that is usually ignored is that Bill Ayers, one of leaders of US domestic terror group the Weather Underground,was interviewed in the New York Times on 9/11. The Next day NYT had editorial strongly denouncing terrorists and calling for stern measures. Also Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defence in 1975 when Saigon fell. Cheney was Ford;s chief of staff at same time. To an American nationalist these were terrible times, so they never looked at Vietnam war before they launched their GWOT.

I think a military coup is the most likely scenario for the US. Indeed, I think the chaos is being stoked to so that the military takeover will be welcomed.
- eagle eye on September 13, 2021 · at 6:50 am EST/EDT
  
  Nah. Balkanisation is a more likely prospect. Perhaps following an attempted military coup that fails spectacularly as it trigggers a militia response that turns into an uncivil war between competing militias which then retreat to their various corners which become the seperate nations over time. Messy I know, but it was never going to be a tidy death of an empire.
Ultrafart the Brave on September 12, 2021 · at 1:20 pm EST/EDT

“It remains unclear to me what really happened at the Pentagon…”

Apologies to anyone else in the thread who has already pointed this out, but what really happened at the Pentagon is bleedingly apparent – a terrain-following cruise missile came skimming in at 10 feet altitude and punched a 15 foot hole in the Pentafon wall, which subsequently collapsed.

As for the alleged airliner allegedly flown singlehandedly by an alleged novice Arab crop-duster pilot, said alleged airliner didn’t actually do the claimed impossible aerial acrobatics before disappearing into an impossibly small hole in the Pentagon wall while leaving the entire remaining wall facade otherwise undamaged with no wreckage whatsoever left behind (refer to Operation Northwoods to understand how any alleged airliners and alleged passengers might have been “disappeared” on 9/11).

And yes, they really were and are that evil.
- The Saker on September 12, 2021 · at 5:55 pm EST/EDT
  
  I think that you fail to differentiate between a hypothesis, a theory and actual evidence. Your post is just another slogan, really, and you conflate Northwoods and what might or might not have happened at the Pentagon. This is not helpful, at least not for the purposes of this blog. You also clearly lack insights in how Russian cruise missiles actually work.
  
  Please stop posting such unsubstantiated theories on this blog, and calling them “bleedingly apparent” does not add anything to their intrinsic value (which, so far, is zero anyway).
  
  Thanks!

    “You also clearly lack insights in how Russian cruise missiles actually work.”
    
    Dear Mr. Saker,
    
    1. Who mentioned Russian cruise missiles? You did this, not me. There is a world of possibilities out there beyond Russian malfeasance, as demonstrated by the well-known “dancing Israelis” incident. What exactly has Russia got to do with any of this?
    
    2. The neat 15 foot hole in the Pentagon wall, the lack of damage to even immediately adjacent windows, and the complete absence of any aircraft wreckage, were indeed “bleedingly apparent” artifacts of the attack on the Pentagon. We can reference actual photographs both prior to and after the wall collapse to demonstrate this, if that is really necessary, as well as a (scrubbed) news reporter’s on-site assessment of the scene immediately after the fact.
    
    You rail at “unsubstantiated theories”. As the true Statesman and master strategist Vladimir Putin might say in his calm analytical voice, “Okay then. Fair enough.” Let’s remove the theoretical leap to a cruise missile or some other customised weapon platform capable of punching a neat 15 foot hole in a concrete wall.
    
    What remains (a neat 15 foot hole with essentially no other exterior damage or wreckage prior to the wall’s post-impact collapse) categorically excludes the official narrative of a 150,000 lb aircraft with an overall height of 44 feet, a wingspan of 124 feet with two massive jet turbines spaced 42 feet apart, travelling at over 500 mph and impacting a concrete wall.
    
    This is your blog, and no-one can take that away from you. You have the same liberty as the mainstream media to pass or filter narratives. Irrespective of whatever the truth might actually be, freedom of speech is a privelege, not a right, in either case.
ForWhomTheBellTolls on September 12, 2021 · at 1:59 pm EST/EDT

I think both happened, the airplanes crashing and a partial demolition. The reason I believe this is the WTC7 building crash. Once the crash happened of the twin towers they pannicked knowing that an inspection of the surrounding area would result in the authorities finding WTC7 building to be fully ready for live demolition. We could say that the hijackers saved the world from a potentaly planned world conflict (and guess who would be the bad guy?) and a new cold war. What a twist of irony!
Somebody who for sure knows about what happened here is Christiana Amanpour – during the key moments, just after the crash, she tried to steer the narative towards Serbs and eventualy Russia,, away from the islamic fanatics. To do this in such a time of chaos tells a story of intent and plan…She was part of the plan, hwo mcuh she knows, that is open to debate…Not much if you ask me.

You miss an important point regarding JFK status: There is an enormous canyon between the public narrative which one is ‘forced’ to follow to be taken seriously, and the actual personal adhesion to it. Ditto 911, which >50% Americans have doubts about. That GAP is one of the most important features of modern society, running unseen under the sandy foundations.

“By the way, the real Russian economy is comparable or bigger to the real German one”

If you take PPP figures for the top six countries as in column one, you get that result. But if you add in an estimate for the black or informal economy, you get column three with Russia well ahead of Germany and close to Japan.
As the man who invented GDP said it is not a very good measure of the size of an economy but it is pretty much all there is.
When Russia reaches the same level of GDP per head as Germany or Japan it will move out of sight.

I like how you point out cell phones as having a second edge which acts to expose truths the powers wish to conceal.

Most of the time it’s about how cell phones are monitoring and tracking devices. I suppose the internet too shares this double-edged quality. Guns too. And come to think of it, money. And Airliners. So again we are reminded it’s not the tool, it’s the intent behind the tool.

But lies “for our own good” are still lies, and only serve the corrupt.
Miro on September 25, 2021 · at 5:46 pm EST/EDT

Saker, I would appreciate your take on 9/11 aspect (my train of thoughts) as follows:
Introduction:
During the cold war and after it two opposing military blocks used international space next to the border of its opponent to flex military muscle. For decades Warsaw pack and later Russia tried to come to an agreement with NATO to limit ‘the urge’ for such an abuse of international space by proposing kind of ‘open sky’ treaty.
Chronologically:
1) 1997/8 Russia suffered financial Insolvency/bankruptcy and hasn’t been perceived as a major threat any more by the west.
2) As per protocol, Russia announced (months ahead) to NATO its military exercise (in international space bordering western USA & Canada) from 10-15 September 2001.
3) Russia canceled those exercises on September 10, 2001 and informed NATO command as per protocol, 4) On September 11 NORAD’s ‘assets’ were positioned far west in anticipation of announced Russian military exercise (which was canceled previous day).
5) Next day, September 12, 2001 USA invokes Article 5,
6) Open Sky Treaty starts on January 1, 2002.
7) Technically NATO was under attack but Russia got ‘prompto’ at it’s weakest what Warsaw Pact couldn’t get at it’s strongest?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Article 5: https://www.nato.int/docu/update/2001/1001/e1002a.htm
Open Sky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_Open_Skies
