Secret Wars, Forgotten Betrayals, Global Tyranny. Who Is Really in Charge of the U.S. Military?
[Strategic Culture Foundation] Once again we find ourselves in a situation of crisis, where the entire world holds its breath all at once and can only wait to see whether this volatile black cloud floating amongst us will breakout into a thunderstorm of nuclear war or harmlessly pass us by.

The majority in the world seem to have the impression that this destructive fate totters back and forth at the whim of one man. It is only normal then, that during such times of crisis, we find ourselves trying to analyze and predict the thoughts and motives of just this one person. The assassination of Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a true hero for his fellow countrymen
...some of them, anyway...
and undeniably an essential key figure in combating terrorism in Southwest Asia,
combatting ISIS while fomenting Shiite terrorism — the man was capable of splitting his attention among many projects....
was a terrible crime, an abhorrently repugnant provocation. It was meant to cause an apoplectic fervour, it was meant to make us who desire peace, lose our minds in indignation.
...absolutely. The only possible reason President Trump could have ordered the hit was to enflame the hearts of peace lovers everywhere...
And therefore, that is exactly what we should not do.
True. Though your resulting antics do amuse those of us in the evil warmonger party.
In order to assess such situations, we cannot lose sight of the whole picture, and righteous indignation unfortunately causes the opposite to occur. Our focus becomes narrower and narrower to the point where we can only see or react moment to moment with what is right in front of our face. We are reduced to an obsession of twitter feeds, news blips and the doublespeak of ’official government statements’.

Thus, before we may find firm ground to stand on regarding the situation of today, we must first have an understanding as to what caused the United States to enter into an endless campaign of regime-change warfare after WWII, or as former Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff Col. Prouty stated, three decades of the Indochina war.
Didn’t that start in the 1950s?

#1 Over the years, and through thousands of searches and publications, I somehow managed to miss the existence of the Strategic Culture Foundation. I suppose it is because I was uninterested in following the careers (or writings) of unrelenting Marxists and Yankeephobes.

#2 SCF is a Russian-funded outfit, but worth reading as they've got some very unique views that never get aired elsewhere. The usual 95% drek 5% gold of an internet site.
