Steven Seagal Telling Us The Truth... But We Didnt Listen! (MUST SEE!)

Saint_LB

My eyes were opened somewhat when I visited Korea. I was informed that their country was over 5000 years old. It was then that I compared them to us...a country not even 250 years old...and I realized that we are just in our infancy. Anything can happen if we are not careful and it appears to be happening.

It's like D and FF were saying. This country is being taken over by the elitists and they don't give one rat's butt what happens after they get rich. I am pretty sure that all of their American money was converted to gold a long time ago.

They see this country as nothing more than a platform for them to accumulate wealth and where the pieces fall is of no concern to them.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

I agree. Korea is a product of no system of checks and balances. It is a country where the people have no choice in who rules over them.

The American people seem to be blind to history and hell bent on repeating it. They stand in line to sell their vote.

Oak... I'm not doubting anything about 1991 in Kuwait. The problem was going back and finishing the job. I have a hard time believing that just because the UN didn't authorize us that we actually listened to that.

So the question becomes, why did we feel the need to go back? 911? WMD? Proper defense of the country? Maybe... Maybe Not. I don't put anything past the Powers that Be" who run levels that are much higher than the President and the Congress. Can you tell me that you don't believe that this country has been taken over by evil forces that don't make sense to the common person and doesn't represent him?

Face it... the only place to get "REAL" information is the Internet. Still, I think you will agree that anybody can say anything so who do you believe? So many things get call conspiracy theories, so people won't look into actual lies presented by the media. Don't get caught in that trap.

I love this guy. Meet Mr. Gerald Celente.

Keep in mind one very important item that was different between the two.

George H.W. Bush did not go against UN authorizations.
I am not a "huge" fan of H.W. Bush He declined an offer from the Emirate of Kuwait to pay each soldier that participated in the liberation of his country.. H.W. said no - we are not mercenaries.... but you will not find that anywhere in the news.

George W. Bush didn't care.

As for the reasons W. went back into Baghdad? As I said before, the result was a just one, Saddam.. his sons, his evil empire are no longer gassing and raping their own people..

If you want my best guess as to why W. went back in after Saddam? W. and H.W. Bush never really got along very well, W. has spent his life trying to gain daddy's approval... I think he went back into Iraq to finish what his father couldn't to gain some sort of approval from his father. But that's just me.


As for as global currency there are a few reasons that nations are doing things to devalue the US Dollar.

1. Oil is traded on the dollar... No other currency. And regardless of what many people may think, None of the Chevrons, Exons, BP's control the price of oil... The US Government does not control the price of oil. The price of oil is controlled by OPEC by simply opening or closing the spigot a little. Supply and demand, every now and then you'll hear of the US pleading with OPEC to open production or close it a little because of prices.

As far as for the member of OPEC: Look at who they are and you may understand why we have some of the allies we do. Look at their production rates and understand that while some say we back certain countries because of oil they never finish the sentence.

YES we DO back and ally with some countries because of oil.. (rest of the sentence) not out of greed but because they have the power to cripple our economy if we are not perceived as friendlies.

2. US is a global economic super power. Who wouldn't want to devalue that fact a little?

As far as for the price of gasoline.... People try and correlate the price of gas to the price of a barrel of oil. It is not a direct correlation.

This guys site is the best I have ever seen for breaking things down... I have worked in the O&G industry for 17 years hand in hand with most of the major service companies like Halliburton and Schlumberger along with the major operators like Shell, Exxon, BP, etc...

I find it amazing that people are quick to point out the supposed conspiracy to get the US into WWI & WWII, but they rarely mention the Tonkin Gulf Incident which got the US into the Vietnam War!!

There are a lot of people that claim that the Vietnemese PT boats did not attack the US destroyers that were in the Tonkin Gulf, to which LBJ then ordered the PT bases be attacked in retaliation.
