    Conspiracy to fact.
    Recently I wondered to myself, are there many big "conspiracy theories" in history that have become actual fact ? . Well I knew there must be some, then I thought of the obvious.... The wars of America.

    Every major war America has ever been involved in has been proven to be false flag wars. Each one at the time surrounded with conspiracy theories which have now become fact.

    Does anyone else find this strange in the slightest ? I think it's laughable to expect anything less than lies, deceipt, corruption, murder, betrayel, genocide (i could go on) from an American governmnt. And it seems that after each betrayel the public simply forget, like pressing a reset switch.

    (False Flag - False flag operations are covert operations which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities.)

    Spanish-American war 1998
    The Spanish American War began in 1898 as a direct result of an incident that occurred in Havana harbor. On February 15, 1898, an explosion occurred on the USS Maine that caused the deaths of over 250 American sailors. Even though later investigations have shown that the explosion was an accident in the boiler room of the ship, public furor arose and pushed the country to war because of what was believed at the time to be Spanish sabotage. Here are the essentials of the war that ensued.

    The U.S.-Mexican War—(1846-1848)
    The Mexican-American War was the first major conflict driven by the idea of "Manifest Destiny"; the belief that America had a God-given right, or destiny, to expand the country's borders from 'sea to shining sea'. This belief would eventually cause a great deal of suffering for many Mexicans, Native Americans and United States citizens. Following the earlier Texas War of Independence from Mexico, tensions between the two largest independent nations on the North American continent grew as Texas eventually became a U.S. state. Disputes over the border lines sparked military confrontation, helped by the fact that President Polk eagerly sought a war in order to seize large tracts of land from Mexico.

    World War 1 1914-1918
    The Plan to Involve America in World War 1
    Norman Dodd, former director of the Committee to Investigate Tax Exempt Foundations of the U.S. House of Representatives, testified that the Committee was invited to study the minutes of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace as part of the Committee's investigation. The Committee stated: "The trustees of the Foundation brought up a single question. If it is desirable to alter the life of an entire people, is there any means more efficient than war.... They discussed this question... for a year and came up with an answer: There are no known means more efficient than war, assuming the objective is altering the life of an entire people. That leads them to a question: How do we involve the United States in a war. This is in 1909."

    So the decision was made to involve the United States in a war so that the "life of the entire people could be altered." This was the conclusion of a foundation supposedly committed to "peace."
    http://www.threeworldwars.com/world-war-1/ww1.htm
    Also
    In 1918, an arm of the American government in order to assure continued public support for the war effort published the Official Reasons why American chose to enter the World War. The organization responsible for distributing this information was called the Committee for Public Information which played a number of roles for the American government including serving as a propaganda ministry. Below is a clearly states list of reasons for America declaring war overlain with some florid language of the propagandist. Nevertheless, this clearly summarizes what the citizenry told about why their nation was fighting a war.

    1. The renewal by Germany of her submarine warfare.
    2. Imperial Germany was running amuck as an international desperado
    3. Prussian Militancy and autocracy let loose in the world disturbed the balance of power and threatened to destroy the international equilibrium.
    4. The conflict [had gradually shaped] into a war between the democratic nations on one hand and autocratic on the other.
    5. [America's] tradition of isolation had grown out warn and could no longer be maintained in the age of growing interdependency.
    6. Because of the menace to the Monroe Doctrine and to [America's] independence.

    World War 2, 1939-1945
    The Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge debate is a dispute over what, if any, advance knowledge American officials had of Japan's December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

    Ever since the Japanese attack there has been debate as to how and why the United States had been caught off guard and how much and when American officials knew of Japanese plans for an attack.

    Several writers, including journalist Robert Stinnett[1] and former United States Navy Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald[2], have argued that various parties high in the U.S. and British governments knew of the attack in advance and may even have let it happen or encouraged it in order to force America into war via the "back door."[3] Evidence supporting this view is taken from quotations and source documents from the time[4] and the release of newer materials.

    Examination of information released since the War has revealed there was intelligence information available to U.S. and other nations' officials. Rather than attribute the lack of preparedness at the base to failure-to-process, some have argued that the U.S. must have had some degree of advanced knowledge of the attack.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Harbor_advance-knowledge_debate
    ALSO

    Following the inspiration of William Appleman Williams, the author argues that the Nazi threat to the American vision of an open economic international system was the central reason the United States went to war. Following different assumptions, other historians have made an equally strong case for the primacy of strategic military concerns. The two points of view, however, may represent a distinction without a fundamental difference.

    Vietnam war
    This research paper discusses and analyzes the reasons why the United States became involved in the Vietnam War and the consequences of that war on American society then and later.

    From the late 1940s and until the fall of Saigon in 1975 American policy toward Vietnam was dictated by Cold War considerations --i.e. the imperative need as perceived by the American national security establishment to contain communist expansion in French Indochina, and, after 1954, to prevent a communist takeover in South Vietnam. The United States moved from indirect to direct involvement in combat operations in Vietnam in the mid-1960s because the administration of Lyndon Johnson concluded that the South Vietnamese Government was incapable of defending itself.
    http://www.lotsofessays.com/viewpaper/1702073.html
    ALSO
    Most American wars have obvious starting points or precipitating causes: the Battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775, the capture of Fort Sumter in 1861, the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the North Korean invasion of South Korea in June 1950, for example. But there was no fixed beginning for the U.S. war in Vietnam. The United States entered that war incrementally, in a series of steps between 1950 and 1965. In May 1950, President Harry S. Truman authorized a modest program of economic and military aid to the French, who were fighting to retain control of their Indochina colony, including Laos and Cambodia as well as Vietnam. When the Vietnamese Nationalist (and Communist-led) Vietminh army defeated French forces at Dienbienphu in 1954, the French were compelled to accede to the creation of a Communist Vietnam north of the 17th parallel while leaving a non-Communist entity south of that line. The United States refused to accept the arrangement. The administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower undertook instead to build a nation from the spurious political entity that was South Vietnam by fabricating a government there, taking over control from the French, dispatching military advisers to train a South Vietnamese army, and unleashing the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to conduct psychological warfare against the North.

    The Granada Invasion

    It has been exactly twenty years since the U.S. forces invaded Grenada, ending that Caribbean island nation's four-year socialist experiment. An island nation no bigger than Martha's Vineyard, with a population that could barely fill the Rose Bowl, was defeated with relatively few American casualties. President Ronald Reagan's decision to occupy the country and replace the government with one more to his liking proved to be quite popular in the United States, with polls indicating that 63% of the public supported the invasion.

    On this anniversary, it would be worth looking back at the Grenadan revolution, the U.S. invasion and its aftermath, and the important precedent it set for "regime change" through U.S. military intervention.

    The war on drugs

    The War on Drugs is Completely Misunderstood by Most Americans Who Believe It's Actually About Eradicating Drugs. In Fact, It's a War Against the People.

    Some people believe the American drug war needs to be fixed. The idea of fixing the War on Drugs is like fixing something such as child abuse. How do you fix an act that is plain wrong to begin with? The drug war is wrong, simple as that, and we must learn why.

    This false 'War' has nothing to do with eradicating drugs. It has everything to do with stomping all over the rights we thought we were guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. 'It is a fundamental truth that every man is the rightful owner of his own body.' - Frederick Douglass, 1852.

    Panama Invasion

    The Panama Deception is a documentary film that won the 1992 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.[1] The film is critical of the actions of the US military during the 1989 invasion of Panama by the United States, covering the conflicting reasons for the invasion and the depicting of the US media as biased. It was directed by Barbara Trent of the Empowerment Project and was narrated by actress Elizabeth Montgomery.

    The film asserts that the U.S. government invaded Panama primarily to renegotiate the Torrijos–Carter Treaties. Another allegation made by the film is that the United States tested some form of laser or energy weapon during the invasion. The film also includes footage of mass graves uncovered after the US troops had withdrawn, and depicts some of the 20,000 refugees who fled the invasion.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Panama_Deception
    ALSO
    Media Coverage of Invasion

    The U.S.. media again performed a masterful job of being the unofficial official news organ for the U.S. government and its policies. No matter how illegal, barbaric, arrogant, irrational, or psychotic the policies, they are reported with enthusiasm, almost gleefully, and with little or no critical commentary. The media was excellent in serving the official public relations function for the invasion. The U.S. government provided the information and controlled virtually all images in order to marshal public, Congressional, and local media support for the invasion.

    US-Israeli sponsored war between Iraq and Iran, 1980-1988:
    The United States supported Iraq during the Iran–Iraq War as a counterbalance to post-revolutionary Iran. This support included several billion dollars worth of economic aid, the sale of dual-use technology, non-U.S. origin weaponry, military intelligence, Special Operations training, and direct involvement in warfare against Iran.[3][4]

    Support from the U.S. for Iraq was not a secret and was frequently discussed in open session of the Senate and House of Representatives, although the public and news media paid little attention. On June 9, 1992, Ted Koppel reported on ABC's Nightline, "It is becoming increasingly clear that George Bush, operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Saddam's Iraq into" the power it became",[5] and "Reagan/Bush administrations permitted – and frequently encouraged – the flow of money, agricultural credits, dual-use technology, chemicals, and weapons to Iraq."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_war
    ALSO
    The US has built power bases in the Middle East in Iran starting with the CIA-organised coup 1953, where Iranian prime minister Mossadeq was replaced with the Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi and he by his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Iran was equipped with the best western military equipment, including the American F-14 fighters with Phoenix missiles and the British Chieftain MBTs. Unfortunately there was in 1979 a coup of ayatollah Khomeini replacing the Shah and founding an Islamite nation.

    After this, the US warmed up relations with their good Iraqi friend Saddam Hussein, and started to build a nation capable of challenging the Iran. Iraq acquired large numbers of effective weapons including factories able to produce older versions of gas warfare agents. These would later be called WMDs, which of course they were not, being the WW1-vintage weapons.

    The war broke out and was fought to exhaustion because third-party powers, especially Israel, were carefully monitoring the power balance supplying more weapons to the side which seemed to be loosing. "Too bad they both cannot loose" is how Kissinger evaluated this situation.

    Desert Storm (First Gulf war), 1991)
    Fifteen-year old Nayirah, who gave testimony anonymously, testified before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in October 1990 that she was a refugee volunteering in the maternity ward of Al Adan hospital in Kuwait City, and that during the Iraqi occupation she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers killing Kuwaiti infants in an incubator room: “They took the babies out of the incubator, took the incubators, and left the babies to die on the cold floor,” she testified.[3] The testimony came at a crucial time for the Bush administration, which was pressing for military action to eject Iraq from Kuwait.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_Nayirah
    ALSO
    The United States and the United Nations gave several public justifications for involvement in the conflict, the most prominent being the Iraqi violation of Kuwaiti territorial integrity. In addition, the United States moved to support its ally Saudi Arabia, whose importance in the region, and as a key supplier of oil, made it of considerable geopolitical importance. During a speech in a special joint session of the U.S. Congress given on 11 September 1990, U.S. President George H.W. Bush summed up the reasons with the following remarks: "Within three days, 120,000 Iraqi troops with 850 tanks had poured into Kuwait and moved south to threaten Saudi Arabia. It was then that I decided to act to check that aggression."[32]

    The Pentagon claimed that satellite photos showing a buildup of Iraqi forces along the border were the source of this information, but this was later shown to be false. A reporter for the Saint Petersburg Times acquired commercial satellite images made at the time in question, which showed nothing but empty desert.[33]

    Good question. I used that link as a reference, wiki dont list all the American false flag wars on one page but each can be searched individually.

    Were those false flag operations conspiracy theories before they were facts? By that I mean were people dicussing them, trying to find out info on them and suspecting them as conspiracies before the real truth got out, or were they just false flag operations that the info leaked on?

    In many of the above wars there were huge protests in America. The biggest of which was a protest over the Vietnam war when over 250,000 protesters gathered. As for there being conspiracy theories related to the later wars, certainly the answer is yes but for the earlier wars, I have not yet searched for information on that but I think it would be safe to assume; for now, that there was.

    They marched because they didn't want the US and its soldiers fighting a war, not because of any underlying conspiracy theory.

    Every major war America has ever been involved in has been proven to be false flag wars. Each one at the time surrounded with conspiracy theories which have now become fact.

    I've highlighted these two parts, they'll become important as I go through this post.
    Does anyone else find this strange in the slightest ? I think it's laughable to expect anything less than lies, deceipt, corruption, murder, betrayel, genocide (i could go on) from an American governmnt. And it seems that after each betrayel the public simply forget, like pressing a reset switch.

    Well here you're wrong, the American public changed massively during the 70s, as a result of Vietnam war backlash and reaction to the Watergate scandal.

    Incidentally, I would use that as an example of conspiracies that have been shown to be fact.

    Are you seriously suggesting that America should not have entered into a war with Nazi Germany?

    Okay, so there is dispute as to what degree of prior knowledge the US had regarding Pearl Harbour. Now dispute is the important word here - it's not proven, and it certainly wasn't a false flag.

    Okay, I'm not certain that the Vietnam warfare can be fully justified. But that's not the purpouse of this debate, and I'm not seeing any false flag here. What I will say is that at the time, the presence of US troops in Cambodia and Laos was a CT, which has since proven to be true.

    The war on drugs
    The War on Drugs is Completely Misunderstood by Most Americans Who Believe It's Actually About Eradicating Drugs. In Fact, It's a War Against the People.

    Some people believe the American drug war needs to be fixed. The idea of fixing the War on Drugs is like fixing something such as child abuse. How do you fix an act that is plain wrong to begin with? The drug war is wrong, simple as that, and we must learn why.

    This false 'War' has nothing to do with eradicating drugs. It has everything to do with stomping all over the rights we thought we were guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. 'It is a fundamental truth that every man is the rightful owner of his own body.' - Frederick Douglass, 1852.
    http://www.truth-it.net/war_on_drugs.html

    It's a fundamental truth that cocaine barons are horrible people. Drugs trade directly finances terrorism and conflict in Afghanistan, Colombia, SE Asia, and North Africa. It finances violent and organised crime in every nation. I don't believe that the War on Drugs is the correct way to deal with this problem, nor do I believe that the US has the moral authority to fight drugs on those grounds, and I understand that it's probably very corrupt, but I'm not sure what your point is here. The War on Drugs isn't an active armed engagement the same way that the others you've listed are.

    Perhaps done for shady reasons, but not a false flag.
    US-Israeli sponsored war between Iraq and Iran, 1980-1988:
    The United States supported Iraq during the Iran–Iraq War as a counterbalance to post-revolutionary Iran. This support included several billion dollars worth of economic aid, the sale of dual-use technology, non-U.S. origin weaponry, military intelligence, Special Operations training, and direct involvement in warfare against Iran.[3][4]

    Support from the U.S. for Iraq was not a secret and was frequently discussed in open session of the Senate and House of Representatives, although the public and news media paid little attention. On June 9, 1992, Ted Koppel reported on ABC's Nightline, "It is becoming increasingly clear that George Bush, operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Saddam's Iraq into" the power it became",[5] and "Reagan/Bush administrations permitted – and frequently encouraged – the flow of money, agricultural credits, dual-use technology, chemicals, and weapons to Iraq."

    ALSO
    The US has built power bases in the Middle East in Iran starting with the CIA-organised coup 1953, where Iranian prime minister Mossadeq was replaced with the Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi and he by his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Iran was equipped with the best western military equipment, including the American F-14 fighters with Phoenix missiles and the British Chieftain MBTs. Unfortunately there was in 1979 a coup of ayatollah Khomeini replacing the Shah and founding an Islamite nation.

    After this, the US warmed up relations with their good Iraqi friend Saddam Hussein, and started to build a nation capable of challenging the Iran. Iraq acquired large numbers of effective weapons including factories able to produce older versions of gas warfare agents. These would later be called WMDs, which of course they were not, being the WW1-vintage weapons.

    The war broke out and was fought to exhaustion because third-party powers, especially Israel, were carefully monitoring the power balance supplying more weapons to the side which seemed to be loosing. "Too bad they both cannot loose" is how Kissinger evaluated this situation.

    This is how international relations works. You think that Vietnam and Korea didn't have foreign backers? Where's the flase flag?

    Desert Storm (First Gulf war), 1991)
    Fifteen-year old Nayirah, who gave testimony anonymously, testified before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in October 1990 that she was a refugee volunteering in the maternity ward of Al Adan hospital in Kuwait City, and that during the Iraqi occupation she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers killing Kuwaiti infants in an incubator room: “They took the babies out of the incubator, took the incubators, and left the babies to die on the cold floor,” she testified.[3] The testimony came at a crucial time for the Bush administration, which was pressing for military action to eject Iraq from Kuwait.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_Nayirah
    ALSO
    The United States and the United Nations gave several public justifications for involvement in the conflict, the most prominent being the Iraqi violation of Kuwaiti territorial integrity. In addition, the United States moved to support its ally Saudi Arabia, whose importance in the region, and as a key supplier of oil, made it of considerable geopolitical importance. During a speech in a special joint session of the U.S. Congress given on 11 September 1990, U.S. President George H.W. Bush summed up the reasons with the following remarks: "Within three days, 120,000 Iraqi troops with 850 tanks had poured into Kuwait and moved south to threaten Saudi Arabia. It was then that I decided to act to check that aggression."[32]

    The Pentagon claimed that satellite photos showing a buildup of Iraqi forces along the border were the source of this information, but this was later shown to be false. A reporter for the Saint Petersburg Times acquired commercial satellite images made at the time in question, which showed nothing but empty desert.[33]

    Nonetheless, a borderline-genocidal dictator of (what was at the time) a first-world country invades his tiny neighbour (the size of Wales) and the international community should just let it happen? There may have been ulterior motives, but they did the right thing.
    War on Terror
    Im sure there is no need to go into detail regarding this false flag war.

    Evidence or an argument would be nice.

    Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan invasion), 7.10.2001
    ya ya ya Bin Laden Bull

    Again, the war in Afghanistan has been largely morally justified in my eyes. They have brought a degree of democracy to a formerly oppressed nation. I have my reservations about Western support of a government that legalizes rape, but the Western military is there to enable the country to run, it's not answerable for the decisions that the government makes. The insurgents are the ones causing civilian deaths and destabilizing the nation. I'm personally unconvinced that 9/11 was a false flag.

    Enduring Justice (Second Gulf war), 20.3.2003
    Bla Bla weapons of mass destruction my ass.

    Saddam did at some point have WMDs (the Americans gave them to him) but again, our bloodthirsty dictator needed to be taken out of power. What was the false flag? I'm not sure I support the war entirely, but they went there and have a responsibility to stabilize the country before they leave.

    Undergod (nice nick by the way), I just wanted to chime in with your take on false-flag ops. False flag doesnt have to always be premeditated in the way in which an incident starts - there have been a lto of false flags planned out and binned, planned out and implemented...but there have also been false-flags by way of using an accident or an ocurrence as an opportunity. The Maine would probably be the best example from the OP of a false flag of chance.

    This was proven to be possibly a quick decision to capitalise rather than a flase flag op in the strictest sense, but then when you consider that at the time the US was very much bent on forming its own 'empire' it isnt such a stretch to imagine they grasped this opportunity as a means to their own ends. So, false flag can also refer to this sort of thing. They didnt lie I guess.... they simply didnt wait until the public found out the truth.

    Secondly, I dont think the OP was inferring the US shouldnt have went to war against the Nazis, not at all... but it is largely accepted that the US was making no moves whatsoever to get involved. They did initiate the lend lease scheme with the UK at huge cost (hell that repayment was only finished in 2006 i believe). Who knows what policy shifts happened between the UK and the US changing prime ministers and presidents both, but somehow the US managed to get dragged in when it really didnt look like it was going to - When the US joined it basically allowed the liberation of Europe to commence and the undoing of all that had taken place in the previous 2 years. Who is to say what the US regimes preference might have been - might they have been apathetic toward Europe, might they have preferred one regime in the third reich as opposed to many? Possibly, possibly not. I think there was enough procrastination on their part to allow me to believe that the British probably had some intel on Pearl Harbour happening.

    They were able to track and destroy the Bismark, the Graf Spey, the Turpitz etc... they probably would have known the entire Japanese fleet was heading to Hawaii :)

    This post is too long but i like this topic so ill probably post my own thoughts later.

    Good work OP...fingers crossed for a good convo!

    Five and Six seem pretty reasonable. Again, they may indeed have been looking for a reason to go to war. Not a false flag.

    You do know to have wars it usually starts because of false flag operations OR because its a false flag operation.

    Are you seriously suggesting that America should not have entered into a war with Nazi Germany?

    That war was financed, sure the Bushes financed Hitler. They allowed Germany to rise, but they didn't like Nazi Germany becoming to strong, so they took them out. The 13 most powerful families alongside the highest councils, Freemason and biliderburgers etc decide wars.

    Oh so shocking (screams)

    Okay, so there is dispute as to what degree of prior knowledge the US had regarding Pearl Harbour. Now dispute is the important word here - it's not proven, and it certainly wasn't a false flag.

    Lol.. :D


    .
    It's a fundamental truth that cocaine barons are horrible people. Drugs trade directly finances terrorism and conflict in Afghanistan, Colombia, SE Asia, and North Africa. It finances violent and organised crime in every nation. I don't believe that the War on Drugs is the correct way to deal with this problem, nor do I believe that the US has the moral authority to fight drugs on those grounds, and I understand that it's probably very corrupt, but I'm not sure what your point is here. The War on Drugs isn't an active armed engagement the same way that the others you've listed are.

    Shakes head, people in power CREATE problems, then we REACT, they come up with a solution and SAVE THE DAY. This has never changed. The US government make money of drug trade and other forms of terrorism and traffic

    Oh we know your not convinced on 9/11...

    But if you feel war is justified you sir go out and fight it. We will see how you scuabble out of that one. I just love how people (type from a computer or a conference) and say this war should be justified or we should fight this war,

    But don't actually go and fight it, they persuade others to fight it.

    The war in Afghanistan was not justified. War is not acceptable. These wars are done for power reasons. America/UK taking over countries and creating their own hegomony and wealth from it.


    Saddam did at some point have WMDs (the Americans gave them to him) but again, our bloodthirsty dictator needed to be taken out of power. What was the false flag? I'm not sure I support the war entirely, but they went there and have a responsibility to stabilize the country before they leave.

    They didn't go there to stablize the country thats false. They bombed the shiit out of it. They took Saddam out of it a long time ago now, so the WMD idea is just ludricous. USA has WMDs so don't start this bull please. It's pathetic and farce.

    They want there because Saddam found Pre flood technology, that was a stargate in SE Iraq. The ruling elites, Royality and illuminati in the west panicked and needed to cmoe up with a false flag quickley to persuade the West for a full massive scale war on Iraq, Iran etc. Sure enough thats what happened and what Bush was in office for. You see while we all type from this and argue over spilt milk alot of the advanced technology the US government have, is because of alien technology or finding old technology in places that have buried deep under the earth since before 6000 years ago.

    99 Saddam dropped the dollar and was a threat to the power of the illuminati not "freedom" or "us". Saddam was made to look twice as bad as he was made in the MSM. From a logical point of view from a middle ground, Saddam was obiously standing to his own and saying up yours to the NWO and West.

    The UN and American sanctions alone killed 400,000 people. The American Government killed well over 1 million (still counting) since they took Saddam out.

    The weapons Saddam had, says made in America. Saddam did good things too. It's just hard for people to understand that because people in the west have been so conditioned thinking people in the Mideast are just not humane or ethical by any means. Saddam even protected his country from other black ops and western sponsored terrrorism around Iraq.

    I just love truth.

    As for a Stargate in Baghdad, Well, I am as curious as everyone else to know where that idea stems from.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭mysterious


    how do you know this?

    Iraq sits on an ancient empire and pre ice age civilization. It is also the area where fallen beings the "Annunaki" came to settle.

    The powers of be don't go pick wars "for some candy ass reason like lets get joe the terrorist" This is a distraction. You may have been distracted by what these people set the game for. There are intedimensional wars and time loop wars going on right now that we can't even see.

    I'm just not fooled by the conditioning most are falling for. I know and simply accept that our planet has been inhabitated for a very long time and we are not the only ones running around on this planet. There is plenty of evidence of races coming to earth and interchanging with with the ancients of our world for thousands of years. I know many of you find it hard to understand, because you don't see it in front of your eyes but only on moies. But you should ask yourself have you ever taken any interest into finding out if these "crazy sci fi" things are true? The American government, NASA, The Vatican and Crown in London have been financing and waging wars for the last 2,000 years and all linked all the way back to Atlantis. They know whats going on because they are the ones who control everything this planet is and what we see and learn. They decide what we know. But its becoming impossible for them to control and keep the truth away from us. So thats why I'm talking :D

    We live on a physical world in which only see's physical things. The ancients were able to transcend into higher dimensions. The secret of this were using or lying on energy points that were gateways to other worlds.

    You will find that a lot of ancient castles and building were built on ley lines eyc. The Earth grid lines are all oer the planet, most noticeble earth portals are western Afrrica, Giza, Bermuda Triangle. Iraq, Iran, South Of Japan are a few to name.

    Sure enough when Saddam found it,


    A movie came out on the stargate. It's all real. To trick us into thinking its not real and not look for it, is to put it on movies to condition our subconscious.


    The Stargate find in Iraq isn't old news, its just scary news to people who run the 9 to 5 jobs who are not interested and only hear these things on movies. It's been known to many for a long time. let's face it, it's the easiest thing to do is to hide the truth from the masses. just put on X factor and you have millions distracted while the government carry on their stuff behind scenes.

    What do you mean? The problem of drugs trade was there long before the War on Drugs, and before authorities started trying to get involved so seriously (and messing up spectacularly in the process). The main point I was making is that the War on Drugs isn't even a war the way the others are, and seems a bit out of place in the list.

    No, I'm saying it's not a false flag because it wasn't a covert operation designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operation appeared as though it was being carried out by other entities.

    It's decieving you, if your not aware your been decieved that's the point of a false flag?

    Are you even thinking of what your actually saying? Maybe instead of just believing all the frontlines at first hand of our history. Why don't you take responsibility for yourself and FIND out whats happening in our world, instead of reyling on others, such as our so loving christ annointed governments and leaders.
    They allowed border disputes to turn into war, this does not fit under the given definition of false flag.
    If you look at the bigger picture of things like world events and you study real history things actually start to make sense.

    You however is obessesively stuck on this belief system.





    Well if that's the case, why bang on about America being to blame, if it's actually the NWO?
    Is a coporation that is owned by the crown/NWO government.

    Oh so shocking can you swallow that fact? Or will you believe the mainstream shiite.

    Stick to what your good at and stop condoning unacceptable wars on which your are not familar with. It's really naive to beleive the conditioning of what we are told about these wars.

    As George Carlin said, that what governments don;t like people doing. Oh it's this moronic thing I do "it's called thinking" People who just think about whats going on, you actually become aware of so much without having to read everything and follow the opinions of others on these conflicts. It's simple basic common understanding. What is going on this world. Why are you always so focused on this "joe the terrorist" Where is he? How did he get there? Where did he get the weapons from? Why is he threat? Why are they after him? Is he really that bad etc.

    You should ask these questions before you blindly beleive the MSM.


    Be that as it may, they still took out the Taliban, who are some of the most evil bastards to hold power into the 21st century. The list of human rights atrocities we can lay on the Taliban is awful. No, I'm not saying that the Coalition are pearly-white (Guantanamo etc.) but they never forbade half of their own citizens from speaking out loud in public, or forced them to wear certain kinds of clothing, or functionally denied them healthcare.

    Do you take the news and government sources as gospel. We are in 2010 Undergod. Most people are not falling what your still falling for.
    Taliban was funded and created by the US government. These use weapons that have "made in America on it".

    The coporate goal of America is not to bring freedom but to bring conflict and chaos. Through this chaos and conflict they end up with supreme order and control. America is modern day Rome.

    I've already discussed the simple psychology behind these wars. They are not in there to get Joe the Terrorist. You really should be waking up to this at this stage. To make the point really clear for the second time.

    Power works by giving you a problem, you react and the powers that be give you the solution or save the day.

    That is why it is justified. War is definitely justified, if an ultimate result is
    restoring liberty to an oppressed peoples.

    It was not
    My point explains the reasons clearly to you. If you still justify it you go out and fight it. Don't ever justify a war your not man enough to fight. If you believe in a war you fight it. If you can't don't condone it.

    War on Afghanistan (if you actually do research on it) Goes back to UK and the west trying to keep control of the country and have it remained in the British Empire. The crown today still owns India and Pakistan. The US/UK are in there to keep the Russians out and other natives groups at bay. Simple basic Geography.



    I wasn't clear in my first point. When I said "at some point" I was referring to the First Gulf War- Saddam certainly had WMDs then. He used chemical weapons against his own citizens. I don't think he had them when America re-invaded, all the evidence seems to suggest that was lies. So we agree on that much.
    You dont sound very confident or fully brushed up on this issue, it comes accross like its only just made headlines. Most of us knew this back in 2001............ But we are very clear on these points long ago.
    Yes, America has WMDs. I'd rather have them in the arsenals of America than under the control of a genocidal dictator.

    Why does America ( war nation owned by the crown) should have WMDs to kill other human beings, and another country not allowed to have WMDs?

    If America is a peaceful country. Which country that talks the most about peace and the banning of WMDs worldwide., killed the most? Funny that your still stuck on a deluded belief system. When most WMDs are made in America and openly GIVEN to dictators around the world.

    Oh for crying out loud..

    Link? I am unconvinced by this theory.
    Quite frankly I don't care if your convinced. You will be still sitting at home unconvinced why all that you imagine or see on a lot of movies is actually been played out in reality.



    Try a tenth of that: http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
    :rolleyes: USA has completely destroyed the country. Blown the shiit out of Bagdad. Has been there since 2002. 8 full years of total genocide. They are massecring the country. All you have to do is ask the veternans who were there who are now rallying against the war and want the Bush Administration in jail. The soldiers are brainwashed to kill everything that moves. There is no target, because eveyone is a target, to what the USA coporation want in the country.

    The ancient technology. While we all think its just about oil or Saddam "was a fire breathing terrorist".

    This kind of shiite is so corny, People just take what our governments say on every war, its why people in power write our history books. It's what we go to school for. It's so bloody easy to brainwash society beyond belief.
    Just as Pol Pot and Stalin did good things. What's that got to do with it? He had a history of killing his own civillians, yeah he protected his military from Western terrorism, so he was free to pursue some nice government endorsed domestic terrorism against religious and ethnic minorities.

    You believe in to much propaganda...... Saddam wasn't half as bad as he was made out to be. Most of us know the MSM is just there to feed the game plan. So we all beleive what the media says on the war.

    Again another boogey trap. How obvious does it need to be to you.

    USA has been in a war every 10 years. It's never stopped campaigining of rallying for wars. When its not in a war, its spends that time preparing for one.

    War is about $$$$$$$


    They don't give flying racoon about Saddam. So please don't be throwing all this nonsense "oh Saddam was this and that" Your just going by what your made believe. They allowed Saddam to do what he did and wanted him to do more. If we were to agree with you that USA are so passionately loving about humankind and sing nursery rhymes to tell us how much peace means to this world. Why didn't they take him out in the Gulf war.

    Why do you have to be so bias over this?
    General idea of the last half of my post: America may be **** but they're better than Saddam or the Taliban.

    Oh dear God......

    As George Carlin said, that what governments don;t like people doing. Oh it's this moronic thing I do "it's called thinking" People who just think about whats going on, you actually become aware of so much without having to read everything and follow the opinions of others on these conflicts. It's simple basic common understanding. What is going on this world. Why are you always so focused on this "joe the terrorist" Where is he? How did he get there? Where did he get the weapons from? Why is he threat? Why are they after him? Is he really that bad etc.

    You should ask these questions before you blindly beleive the MSM.

    Wow, that's hypocritical. You get very upset when people try tell you what to do. Stop with these accusations that I don't think and address my arguments.
    As for "Is he really that bad?" I think I adequately covered this re the Taliban and Saddam in my previous post.

    The Taliban were not created by the US, they were indeed funded by them. I have never denied this.

    So Saddam didn't gas the Kurds, or drain the marshlands and destroy a culture living there?

    I honestly can't say whether he did or not but I'd like to share this with you

    http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/31/opinion/31PELL.html
    But the truth is, all we know for certain is that Kurds were bombarded with poison gas that day at Halabja. We cannot say with any certainty that Iraqi chemical weapons killed the Kurds. This is not the only distortion in the Halabja story.



    I am in a position to know because, as the Central Intelligence Agency's senior political analyst on Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, and as a professor at the Army War College from 1988 to 2000, I was privy to much of the classified material that flowed through Washington having to do with the Persian Gulf. In addition, I headed a 1991 Army investigation into how the Iraqis would fight a war against the United States; the classified version of the report went into great detail on the Halabja affair.



    This much about the gassing at Halabja we undoubtedly know: it came about in the course of a battle between Iraqis and Iranians. Iraq used chemical weapons to try to kill Iranians who had seized the town, which is in northern Iraq not far from the Iranian border. The Kurdish civilians who died had the misfortune to be caught up in that exchange. But they were not Iraq's main target.



    And the story gets murkier: immediately after the battle the United States Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report, which it circulated within the intelligence community on a need-to-know basis. That study asserted that it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds, not Iraqi gas.



    The agency did find that each side used gas against the other in the battle around Halabja. The condition of the dead Kurds' bodies, however, indicated they had been killed with a blood agent — that is, a cyanide-based gas — which Iran was known to use. The Iraqis, who are thought to have used mustard gas in the battle, are not known to have possessed blood agents at the time.



    These facts have long been in the public domain but, extraordinarily, as often as the Halabja affair is cited, they are rarely mentioned. A much-discussed article in The New Yorker last March did not make reference to the Defense Intelligence Agency report or consider that Iranian gas might have killed the Kurds. On the rare occasions the report is brought up, there is usually speculation, with no proof, that it was skewed out of American political favoritism toward Iraq in its war against Iran.



    I am not trying to rehabilitate the character of Saddam Hussein. He has much to answer for in the area of human rights abuses. But accusing him of gassing his own people at Halabja as an act of genocide is not correct, because as far as the information we have goes, all of the cases where gas was used involved battles. These were tragedies of war.

    I would be less concerned about wether people had a theory about it before the fact and more concerned about wether people on a large scale understand they are fact as appose to the history books and media's representations of those stories in some cases.
    I think general popular opinion would be a good measure and that could be ascertained i suppose on a boards forum that wasnt a ct one but related to the Ct topic.
    Easy to see what the rest of the country on average believe as most boards forums are populated by and large by "mainstream" folk if i can be forgiven for putting it that way.

    History repeats itself, this is common knowledge.

    How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
    Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president


    * Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington
    * The Guardian, Saturday 25 September 2004 23.59 BST
    * Article history

    George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

    The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

    His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

    The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

    The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.

    Remarkably, little of Bush's dealings with Germany has received public scrutiny, partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him. But now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two Holocaust survivors against the Bush family, and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make Prescott Bush's business history an uncomfortable issue for his grandson, George W, as he seeks re-election.

    While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade. The Guardian has seen evidence that shows Bush was the director of the New York-based Union Banking Corporation (UBC) that represented Thyssen's US interests and he continued to work for the bank after America entered the war.

    Tantalising

    Bush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Thyssen to move assets around the world.

    Thyssen owned the largest steel and coal company in Germany and grew rich from Hitler's efforts to re-arm between the two world wars. One of the pillars in Thyssen's international corporate web, UBC, worked exclusively for, and was owned by, a Thyssen-controlled bank in the Netherlands. More tantalising are Bush's links to the Consolidated Silesian Steel Company (CSSC), based in mineral rich Silesia on the German-Polish border. During the war, the company made use of Nazi slave labour from the concentration camps, including Auschwitz. The ownership of CSSC changed hands several times in the 1930s, but documents from the US National Archive declassified last year link Bush to CSSC, although it is not clear if he and UBC were still involved in the company when Thyssen's American assets were seized in 1942.

    Three sets of archives spell out Prescott Bush's involvement. All three are readily available, thanks to the efficient US archive system and a helpful and dedicated staff at both the Library of Congress in Washington and the National Archives at the University of Maryland.

    The first set of files, the Harriman papers in the Library of Congress, show that Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen.

    The second set of papers, which are in the National Archives, are contained in vesting order number 248 which records the seizure of the company assets. What these files show is that on October 20 1942 the alien property custodian seized the assets of the UBC, of which Prescott Bush was a director. Having gone through the books of the bank, further seizures were made against two affiliates, the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. By November, the Silesian-American Company, another of Prescott Bush's ventures, had also been seized.

    The third set of documents, also at the National Archives, are contained in the files on IG Farben, who was prosecuted for war crimes.

    A report issued by the Office of Alien Property Custodian in 1942 stated of the companies that "since 1939, these (steel and mining) properties have been in possession of and have been operated by the German government and have undoubtedly been of considerable assistance to that country's war effort".

    Prescott Bush, a 6ft 4in charmer with a rich singing voice, was the founder of the Bush political dynasty and was once considered a potential presidential candidate himself. Like his son, George, and grandson, George W, he went to Yale where he was, again like his descendants, a member of the secretive and influential Skull and Bones student society. He was an artillery captain in the first world war and married Dorothy Walker, the daughter of George Herbert Walker, in 1921.

    In 1924, his father-in-law, a well-known St Louis investment banker, helped set him up in business in New York with Averill Harriman, the wealthy son of railroad magnate E H Harriman in New York, who had gone into banking.

    One of the first jobs Walker gave Bush was to manage UBC. Bush was a founding member of the bank and the incorporation documents, which list him as one of seven directors, show he owned one share in UBC worth $125.

    The bank was set up by Harriman and Bush's father-in-law to provide a US bank for the Thyssens, Germany's most powerful industrial family.

    August Thyssen, the founder of the dynasty had been a major contributor to Germany's first world war effort and in the 1920s, he and his sons Fritz and Heinrich established a network of overseas banks and companies so their assets and money could be whisked offshore if threatened again.

    By the time Fritz Thyssen inherited the business empire in 1926, Germany's economic recovery was faltering. After hearing Adolf Hitler speak, Thyssen became mesmerised by the young firebrand. He joined the Nazi party in December 1931 and admits backing Hitler in his autobiography, I Paid Hitler, when the National Socialists were still a radical fringe party. He stepped in several times to bail out the struggling party: in 1928 Thyssen had bought the Barlow Palace on Briennerstrasse, in Munich, which Hitler converted into the Brown House, the headquarters of the Nazi party. The money came from another Thyssen overseas institution, the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvarrt in Rotterdam.

    By the late 1930s, Brown Brothers Harriman, which claimed to be the world's largest private investment bank, and UBC had bought and shipped millions of dollars of gold, fuel, steel, coal and US treasury bonds to Germany, both feeding and financing Hitler's build-up to war.

    Between 1931 and 1933 UBC bought more than $8m worth of gold, of which $3m was shipped abroad. According to documents seen by the Guardian, after UBC was set up it transferred $2m to BBH accounts and between 1924 and 1940 the assets of UBC hovered around $3m, dropping to $1m only on a few occasions.

    In 1941, Thyssen fled Germany after falling out with Hitler but he was captured in France and detained for the remainder of the war.

    There was nothing illegal in doing business with the Thyssens throughout the 1930s and many of America's best-known business names invested heavily in the German economic recovery. However, everything changed after Germany invaded Poland in 1939. Even then it could be argued that BBH was within its rights continuing business relations with the Thyssens until the end of 1941 as the US was still technically neutral until the attack on Pearl Harbor. The trouble started on July 30 1942 when the New York Herald-Tribune ran an article entitled "Hitler's Angel Has $3m in US Bank". UBC's huge gold purchases had raised suspicions that the bank was in fact a "secret nest egg" hidden in New York for Thyssen and other Nazi bigwigs. The Alien Property Commission (APC) launched an investigation.

    There is no dispute over the fact that the US government seized a string of assets controlled by BBH - including UBC and SAC - in the autumn of 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy act. What is in dispute is if Harriman, Walker and Bush did more than own these companies on paper.

    Erwin May, a treasury attache and officer for the department of investigation in the APC, was assigned to look into UBC's business. The first fact to emerge was that Roland Harriman, Prescott Bush and the other directors didn't actually own their shares in UBC but merely held them on behalf of Bank voor Handel. Strangely, no one seemed to know who owned the Rotterdam-based bank, including UBC's president.

    May wrote in his report of August 16 1941: "Union Banking Corporation, incorporated August 4 1924, is wholly owned by the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart N.V of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. My investigation has produced no evidence as to the ownership of the Dutch bank. Mr Cornelis [sic] Lievense, president of UBC, claims no knowledge as to the ownership of the Bank voor Handel but believes it possible that Baron Heinrich Thyssen, brother of Fritz Thyssen, may own a substantial interest."

    May cleared the bank of holding a golden nest egg for the Nazi leaders but went on to describe a network of companies spreading out from UBC across Europe, America and Canada, and how money from voor Handel travelled to these companies through UBC.

    By September May had traced the origins of the non-American board members and found that Dutchman HJ Kouwenhoven - who met with Harriman in 1924 to set up UBC - had several other jobs: in addition to being the managing director of voor Handel he was also the director of the August Thyssen bank in Berlin and a director of Fritz Thyssen's Union Steel Works, the holding company that controlled Thyssen's steel and coal mine empire in Germany.

    Within a few weeks, Homer Jones, the chief of the APC investigation and research division sent a memo to the executive committee of APC recommending the US government vest UBC and its assets. Jones named the directors of the bank in the memo, including Prescott Bush's name, and wrote: "Said stock is held by the above named individuals, however, solely as nominees for the Bank voor Handel, Rotterdam, Holland, which is owned by one or more of the Thyssen family, nationals of Germany and Hungary. The 4,000 shares hereinbefore set out are therefore beneficially owned and help for the interests of enemy nationals, and are vestible by the APC," according to the memo from the National Archives seen by the Guardian.

    Red-handed

    Jones recommended that the assets be liquidated for the benefit of the government, but instead UBC was maintained intact and eventually returned to the American shareholders after the war. Some claim that Bush sold his share in UBC after the war for $1.5m - a huge amount of money at the time - but there is no documentary evidence to support this claim. No further action was ever taken nor was the investigation continued, despite the fact UBC was caught red-handed operating a American shell company for the Thyssen family eight months after America had entered the war and that this was the bank that had partly financed Hitler's rise to power.

    The most tantalising part of the story remains shrouded in mystery: the connection, if any, between Prescott Bush, Thyssen, Consolidated Silesian Steel Company (CSSC) and Auschwitz.

    Thyssen's partner in United Steel Works, which had coal mines and steel plants across the region, was Friedrich Flick, another steel magnate who also owned part of IG Farben, the powerful German chemical company.

    Flick's plants in Poland made heavy use of slave labour from the concentration camps in Poland. According to a New York Times article published in March 18 1934 Flick owned two-thirds of CSSC while "American interests" held the rest.

    The US National Archive documents show that BBH's involvement with CSSC was more than simply holding the shares in the mid-1930s. Bush's friend and fellow "bonesman" Knight Woolley, another partner at BBH, wrote to Averill Harriman in January 1933 warning of problems with CSSC after the Poles started their drive to nationalise the plant. "The Consolidated Silesian Steel Company situation has become increasingly complicated, and I have accordingly brought in Sullivan and Cromwell, in order to be sure that our interests are protected," wrote Knight. "After studying the situation Foster Dulles is insisting that their man in Berlin get into the picture and obtain the information which the directors here should have. You will recall that Foster is a director and he is particularly anxious to be certain that there is no liability attaching to the American directors."

    But the ownership of the CSSC between 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland and 1942 when the US government vested UBC and SAC is not clear.

    "SAC held coal mines and definitely owned CSSC between 1934 and 1935, but when SAC was vested there was no trace of CSSC. All concrete evidence of its ownership disappears after 1935 and there are only a few traces in 1938 and 1939," says Eva Schweitzer, the journalist and author whose book, America and the Holocaust, is published next month.

    Silesia was quickly made part of the German Reich after the invasion, but while Polish factories were seized by the Nazis, those belonging to the still neutral Americans (and some other nationals) were treated more carefully as Hitler was still hoping to persuade the US to at least sit out the war as a neutral country. Schweitzer says American interests were dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The Nazis bought some out, but not others.

    The two Holocaust survivors suing the US government and the Bush family for a total of $40bn in compensation claim both materially benefited from Auschwitz slave labour during the second world war.

    Kurt Julius Goldstein, 87, and Peter Gingold, 85, began a class action in America in 2001, but the case was thrown out by Judge Rosemary Collier on the grounds that the government cannot be held liable under the principle of "state sovereignty".

    Jan Lissmann, one of the lawyers for the survivors, said: "President Bush withdrew President Bill Clinton's signature from the treaty [that founded the court] not only to protect Americans, but also to protect himself and his family."

    Lissmann argues that genocide-related cases are covered by international law, which does hold governments accountable for their actions. He claims the ruling was invalid as no hearing took place.

    In their claims, Mr Goldstein and Mr Gingold, honorary chairman of the League of Anti-fascists, suggest the Americans were aware of what was happening at Auschwitz and should have bombed the camp.

    The lawyers also filed a motion in The Hague asking for an opinion on whether state sovereignty is a valid reason for refusing to hear their case. A ruling is expected within a month.

    The petition to The Hague states: "From April 1944 on, the American Air Force could have destroyed the camp with air raids, as well as the railway bridges and railway lines from Hungary to Auschwitz. The murder of about 400,000 Hungarian Holocaust victims could have been prevented."

    The case is built around a January 22 1944 executive order signed by President Franklin Roosevelt calling on the government to take all measures to rescue the European Jews. The lawyers claim the order was ignored because of pressure brought by a group of big American companies, including BBH, where Prescott Bush was a director.

    Lissmann said: "If we have a positive ruling from the court it will cause [president] Bush huge problems and make him personally liable to pay compensation."

    The US government and the Bush family deny all the claims against them.

    In addition to Eva Schweitzer's book, two other books are about to be published that raise the subject of Prescott Bush's business history. The author of the second book, to be published next year, John Loftus, is a former US attorney who prosecuted Nazi war criminals in the 70s. Now living in St Petersburg, Florida and earning his living as a security commentator for Fox News and ABC radio, Loftus is working on a novel which uses some of the material he has uncovered on Bush. Loftus stressed that what Prescott Bush was involved in was just what many other American and British businessmen were doing at the time.

    "You can't blame Bush for what his grandfather did any more than you can blame Jack Kennedy for what his father did - bought Nazi stocks - but what is important is the cover-up, how it could have gone on so successfully for half a century, and does that have implications for us today?" he said.

    "This was the mechanism by which Hitler was funded to come to power, this was the mechanism by which the Third Reich's defence industry was re-armed, this was the mechanism by which Nazi profits were repatriated back to the American owners, this was the mechanism by which investigations into the financial laundering of the Third Reich were blunted," said Loftus, who is vice-chairman of the Holocaust Museum in St Petersburg.

    "The Union Banking Corporation was a holding company for the Nazis, for Fritz Thyssen," said Loftus. "At various times, the Bush family has tried to spin it, saying they were owned by a Dutch bank and it wasn't until the Nazis took over Holland that they realised that now the Nazis controlled the apparent company and that is why the Bush supporters claim when the war was over they got their money back. Both the American treasury investigations and the intelligence investigations in Europe completely bely that, it's absolute horse****. They always knew who the ultimate beneficiaries were."

    "There is no one left alive who could be prosecuted but they did get away with it," said Loftus. "As a former federal prosecutor, I would make a case for Prescott Bush, his father-in-law (George Walker) and Averill Harriman [to be prosecuted] for giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They remained on the boards of these companies knowing that they were of financial benefit to the nation of Germany."

    Loftus said Prescott Bush must have been aware of what was happening in Germany at the time. "My take on him was that he was a not terribly successful in-law who did what Herbert Walker told him to. Walker and Harriman were the two evil geniuses, they didn't care about the Nazis any more than they cared about their investments with the Bolsheviks."

    What is also at issue is how much money Bush made from his involvement. His supporters suggest that he had one token share. Loftus disputes this, citing sources in "the banking and intelligence communities" and suggesting that the Bush family, through George Herbert Walker and Prescott, got $1.5m out of the involvement. There is, however, no paper trail to this sum.

    The third person going into print on the subject is John Buchanan, 54, a Miami-based magazine journalist who started examining the files while working on a screenplay. Last year, Buchanan published his findings in the venerable but small-circulation New Hampshire Gazette under the headline "Documents in National Archives Prove George Bush's Grandfather Traded With the Nazis - Even After Pearl Harbor". He expands on this in his book to be published next month - Fixing America: Breaking the Stranglehold of Corporate Rule, Big Media and the Religious Right.

    In the article, Buchanan, who has worked mainly in the trade and music press with a spell as a muckraking reporter in Miami, claimed that "the essential facts have appeared on the internet and in relatively obscure books but were dismissed by the media and Bush family as undocumented diatribes".

    Buchanan suffers from hypermania, a form of manic depression, and when he found himself rebuffed in his initial efforts to interest the media, he responded with a series of threats against the journalists and media outlets that had spurned him. The threats, contained in e-mails, suggested that he would expose the journalists as "traitors to the truth".

    Unsurprisingly, he soon had difficulty getting his calls returned. Most seriously, he faced aggravated stalking charges in Miami, in connection with a man with whom he had fallen out over the best way to publicise his findings. The charges were dropped last month.

    Biography

    Buchanan said he regretted his behaviour had damaged his credibility but his main aim was to secure publicity for the story. Both Loftus and Schweitzer say Buchanan has come up with previously undisclosed documentation.

    The Bush family have largely responded with no comment to any reference to Prescott Bush. Brown Brothers Harriman also declined to comment.

    The Bush family recently approved a flattering biography of Prescott Bush entitled Duty, Honour, Country by Mickey Herskowitz. The publishers, Rutledge Hill Press, promised the book would "deal honestly with Prescott Bush's alleged business relationships with Nazi industrialists and other accusations".

    In fact, the allegations are dealt with in less than two pages. The book refers to the Herald-Tribune story by saying that "a person of less established ethics would have panicked ... Bush and his partners at Brown Brothers Harriman informed the government regulators that the account, opened in the late 1930s, was 'an unpaid courtesy for a client' ... Prescott Bush acted quickly and openly on behalf of the firm, served well by a reputation that had never been compromised. He made available all records and all documents. Viewed six decades later in the era of serial corporate scandals and shattered careers, he received what can be viewed as the ultimate clean bill."

    The Prescott Bush story has been condemned by both conservatives and some liberals as having nothing to do with the current president. It has also been suggested that Prescott Bush had little to do with Averill Harriman and that the two men opposed each other politically.

    However, documents from the Harriman papers include a flattering wartime profile of Harriman in the New York Journal American and next to it in the files is a letter to the financial editor of that paper from Prescott Bush congratulating the paper for running the profile. He added that Harriman's "performance and his whole attitude has been a source of inspiration and pride to his partners and his friends".

    The Anti-Defamation League in the US is supportive of Prescott Bush and the Bush family. In a statement last year they said that "rumours about the alleged Nazi 'ties' of the late Prescott Bush ... have circulated widely through the internet in recent years. These charges are untenable and politically motivated ... Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathiser."

    However, one of the country's oldest Jewish publications, the Jewish Advocate, has aired the controversy in detail.

    More than 60 years after Prescott Bush came briefly under scrutiny at the time of a faraway war, his grandson is facing a different kind of scrutiny but one underpinned by the same perception that, for some people, war can be a profitable business.

    Thats one of the many staggering and basically wrong "facts" in your theory.

    Germany were bound by the Tripartite Pact which said:

They further undertake to assist one another with all political, economic and military means if one of the Contracting Powers is attacked by a Power at present not involved in the European War or in the Japanese-Chinese conflict.

    Here is the reality.
    Then Adolf Hitler made his announcement at the Reichstag in Berlin saying he had tried to avoid direct conflict with the US but, under the Tripartite Agreement signed on 27 September 1940, Germany was obliged to join with Italy to defend its ally Japan.

    I dont understand what you mean about facts versus reality.Surely they both go hand in hand if your looking for the real truth of any situation.
    I dont mind if Germany did declare war on the USA and that they might have also had dealings with them,but i would like to see some info or facts as we are calling it to show that was the case or likely.
    If we are just going to defend our belief without being open to updating it or refining it then we on the path to ignorance i feel.
    In fairness i havent read talkiewalkies massive post yet but would appreciate so evidence for both sides of the dicussion.

    Germany declared war on the united states on Dec 11 1941. America declared war on Germany in response. This isn't open to discussion.

    No. As of yet, no-one else has provided a source. Try adding a link to information.

    America may have publicly declared war on Germany on Dec 11 1941 but they were actively involved in it long before and (if you read you would know) funded Hitlers rise to power.
    Don't be so naive in thinking they didn't want to go to war, it was planned years prior.
    It is quite foolish, naive and silly just to argue for the sake of arguing. If you actually care about it, look into, don't be wasting my time.

    Remember, the winners of wars write history, so it will be pretty easy to find information disputing the facts I put forward. Try look for the truth, look past your school books and wiki.

    Edit :
    1941: Germany and Italy declare war on US
    Germany and Italy have announced they are at war with the United States. America immediately responded by declaring war on the two Axis powers.

    Three days ago, US President Franklin Roosevelt announced America was at war with Japan, the third Axis power, following the surprise attack on its naval base at Pearl Harbor.

    Today Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, made his declaration first - from the balcony over the Piazza Venezia in Rome - pledging the "powers of the pact of steel" were determined to win.

    Then Adolf Hitler made his announcement at the Reichstag in Berlin saying he had tried to avoid direct conflict with the US but, under the Tripartite Agreement signed on 27 September 1940, Germany was obliged to join with Italy to defend its ally Japan.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/december/11/newsid_3532000/3532401.stm
    We also now know that the U.S knew about the pending attack from Japan on pearl harbor but let it happen so as to get involved in the war, it would also give them a perfect opportunity to test their new bomb too.

    Everything I posted is the truth. What Diogenes posted was a half-truth either to purposely obfuscate or he genuinely didn't know but the truth is quite simple.

    Germany DID declare war on the US, BUT they only did so because they were tied into a defensive pact with Italy and Japan whereby should any of the states be attacked it would be considered an attack on all.

    Ironically the pact was formulated with the sole intention to act as a deterrent to US involvement in war.

    Therefore the CT of Pearl Harbour being allowed or encouraged to happen to get the US into the war is still plausable.

    If they secretly åermitted the Pearl Harbour attack it was done with the abolute surety that the US would declare war on Japan which in turn would result in Italy and Germany being automatically at war with the US.

    They tied up Allied forces in the Pacific, and the Far East. Potential two-front attack on the US and Russia. Made it more difficult for the Allied forces to concentrate in Europe, easier for the Germans. There are so many obvious reasons to have an extra strong friend than an enemy in a multi-front war.

    I would say it's more the case of, one being born with one's in the sand or placed in the sand soon after birth.

    Funnily enough i have it first hand from many people i know that they would rather keep their heads in the sand.I think the term one likes to use is " ignorance is bliss".On an individual scale i think they are right.If i died moderatly happy believing i was a sovereign person then i might leave this world feeling i had accomplished my lifes goal which i would imagine on average is to just live a happy life.
    Compared to the thoughts of suffering the truth of my reality, living a life as a slave knowing the plights of others to a much larger extent.

    I always choose the second option.Most choose the first and i totally understand why they do so.I dont agree its healthy but i understand when a creature is put under severe pressure it needs an escape from that reality.
    This has already been provided by the media and most will find it easier to accept that happier reality than the awfull truths that they fear deep in the psyche.
    It reminds me of the movie "The matrix"
    Remember the guy who wanted to rejoin the matrix because it was better than the reality of his situation?
    Also consider the defence mecanisms of the mind when put under severe trauma.It reverts to a memory,ussually from child hood putting the person into a childlike state ussually living in that reality like a matrix until its safe to come out again.

    Putting this into perspective now i think the mind will build its reality as we go through life.By the time we make it to this forum we have already created our matrix.We know where everything is because we personally put it there.When someone messes with our matrix our minds instinct is to push it away because the subconscious has a conflict with its reality.

    Thats why we have so many arguements on these forums.We cant be expected to change our matrix in one go.Each change needs to be gradual and blended if the mind is not going to go into react mode.
    This has nothing to do with what is actually true or not, only why we bury our heads in the sand.
    Of course i never bury my head in the sand(sarcasm),because id know if i was doing it right?
    The problem with the subconscious is that most of the time we are not actually conscious of it at all.
    I do advise checking facts and circumstantial evidence even if it sounds crazy or too mainstream.Unless you wish your matrix to match the majority or minority which is also a fair choice individually.I just think it can create a sort of rabbit whole when you enter the CT world in a two fold sense.
    The stereo typical skeptic enjoys breaking mirrors(in the alice in wonderland type mirror reality situation) while the stereo typical CT'er cant help but look/fall down the rabbit hole.
    Those are extremes and stereo typical but it explains well enough i think how i feel about what i see happening.

    I think i at first fell down the rabbit hole.I like to see it now that i can enter and travel as far as i like, but only go so far so i dont get too lost in there.
    Reality i think is neither one side of the mirror or the other.It is the mirror.
    Since we all share the same material reality that is projected into us and filtered individually lets try work together and get the actual facts right.
    I would love to see a chart on this forum with a list of conspiracy theories that finally made it to both sides of the mirror(agreeable to everyone).
    Leaving us with the rest to work together on.At least as a small community we will have together accomplished something educational for newcomers, created a frame of reference for research and learning while hopefully creating an atmosphere where we can share thoughts without fear of prejudice.
    I suppose this isnt the forum for such a system as i couldnt even edit a first post every few months to update the chart.Just thought it would be great for topics like this.
    A person seeking to not fall down the rabbit hole but also keep up to date with reality might find a suitable anchor in that chart.
