US Issues Unprecedented DEFCON 1 Alert
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
Russian Military Analysts are reporting in the Kremlin today that the
United States Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, has alerted his
World-Wide military commands to begin preparations for the raising of
America’s Defense Condition (DEFCON) “on or about” October 7th to their
highest status DEFCON 1.
United States ally Israel has, likewise, raised its alert status to
their highest level, and as we can read as reported by the World Tribune
News Service:
“Israel's military has been placed on high alert following an airline
bomb scare and reports of other threats. "There is an assessment that
something very bad will take place over the next few weeks, perhaps over
the Jewish holidays," an official said.”
This unprecedented action by the United States in raising its alert
status came almost immediately after American and Pakistani troops
traded fire today, and as we can read as reported by the New York Times
News Service:
“Pakistani and American ground troops exchanged fire along the border
with Afghanistan on Thursday after the Pakistanis shot at two American
helicopters, ratcheting up tensions as the United States increases its
attacks against militants from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, who are being
sheltered in Pakistan’s restive tribal areas.”
Nuclear armed Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani yesterday
issued to the Americans a stern warning stating, “I want to declare
categorically that we will not tolerate violation of our sovereignty by
anyone in the name of combating terrorism.”, but to which the US Defense
Secretary Gates replied, “The United Nations charter allows the US to
act in self-defence against international terrorists in Pakistan if the
government was unable, or unwilling to deal with them.”
These reports further state that the FSB is ‘standing by’ their previous
reports stating that the United States is entering a stage of ‘profound
change’ that will see their present government completely overturned,
and as we had previously on in our September 16th report “US To Declare
October ‘Economic Emergency’, Suspend Elections”.
It is interesting to note that just yesterday, US Presidential
Candidate, John McCain, began the process of derailing the American
Campaign system by his announcing the suspension of his campaign to
concentrate his efforts on his Nations current financial crisis.
Prime Minister Putin’s anger against the United States for the continued
use of their “money printing machine”, and as we had previously reported
on in our September 22nd report “Russia-China Prepare Massive Gold
‘Shock’ For Global Economy”, for dealing with this crisis is raising
more calls in Russia for the total remaking of the World’s economic
system.
One of the most popular plans among Russian economic experts is the
return to the Gold Standard, and as we can read as reported by the RIA
Novosti News Service:
“Second, the Russian leaders might also consider making their own
currency, the rouble, convertible into gold. The idea of gold
convertible currencies is extremely unpopular among most [Western]
economists: they dismiss gold as a "barbarous relic" (to use the famous
phrase of John Maynard Keynes) and suggest either the present regime of
paper currencies or, at best, a link to a basket of commodities. ”
To the greatest insight, however, to these rapidly escalating events
occurring in the United States that is destroying their Nation we can
read from an American author who in great detail has tried to warn her
fellow citizens of the dangers they face:
“Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine advances a truly unnerving argument:
historically, while people were reeling from natural disasters, wars and
economic upheavals, savvy politicians and industry leaders nefariously
implemented policies that would never have passed during less muddled
times. As Klein demonstrates, this reprehensible game of bait-and-switch
isn't just some relic from the bad old days. It's alive and well in
contemporary society, and coming soon to a disaster area near you.
“At the most chaotic juncture in Iraq'' civil war, a new law is unveiled
that will allow Shell and BP to claim the country's vast oil reserves…
Immediately following September 11, the Bush Administration quietly
outsources the running of the 'War on Terror' to Halliburton and
Blackwater… After a tsunami wipes out the coasts of Southeast Asia, the
pristine beaches are auctioned off to tourist resorts… New Orleans
residents, scattered from Hurricane Katrina, discover that their public
housing, hospitals and schools will never be re-opened." Klein not only
kicks butt, she names names, notably economist Milton Friedman and his
radical Chicago School of the 1950s and 60s which she notes "produced
many of the leading neo-conservative and neo-liberal thinkers whose
influence is still profound in Washington today.”
Unfortunately, these American people still fail to see the crushing
blows being prepared for them over these coming weeks that though they
can still prepare for them, they remain frozen in place by the fear
being exerted upon them by their own leaders.
