The
Great Game
What Is Diplomacy
Coming To?
Today I listened to some
very insulting words being traded between the United Kingdom, Russia
and the United States at the United Nations. I have not heard discussions at the U.N. descend to such a sad level of vituperous debate
between nations for a very long time.
It does indeed show both
the low level to which debate has sunk and the depth of this serious
international crisis in both Syria and now in North Korea.
If I was to give a
personal opinion it would be that Presidents and Prime Ministers need
to 'reign in' their respective 'representatives' at the U.N. To 'tone
down' the rhetoric for all parties to attempt to diffuse an already
'nuclear' charged debate rather than (as is likely) 'pat' everyone on
the back for a 'job well done!' as (sadly) is more likely to be the
case.
I say this because the
U.N. Is the last forum before war.
Should one or more sides
walk out of the United Nations in anger or despair, then they will
need to explain to future generations (and to the living relatives of
those who will die in the conflict) why, when the opportunity was
available, they did not take their responsibilities seriously enough
to prevent war.
If not in politics, there
used to be some 'honor' at least in diplomacy, in the diplomatic
service.
Now we have the same
disparaging remarks exchanged between diplomats as we do the
cannibalizing of rivals' opinions and positions in the political
arena and throughout the mainstream media.
Higher Goals:The Grand
Design
Because none will reveal
the true motives for war, I need to continue with a theme started
several years ago when I gave you a vision of the chaos and wars to
come in the Caspian Sea regions as the scramble for new mineral
resources reaches the same fever pitch that we see today in many
parts of the world.
The Four Horsemen
Now I too will go into
hyperbole.
I shudder when I think
about it.
When I see the Four
Horsemen riding to the Caucasus, to The Silk Road Trail, to plunder
its wealth, destroy its civilisations of old and, in the process,
bringing pain and suffering every kilometer of the way, to those yet
unborn. And the knowledge that this was all premeditated is all the
more sadder. That not a single mainstream media in the West,
bothers to 'connect the dots' is not just an indictment of
Christendom-but also of human nature, worldwide.
Sadly too, I would expect
no less of any other country or superpower in any age or time of
world history.
The name of the game is
power and influence at any price. You are either in or you are not.
Because I have covered the Caspian Sea region in detail some years ago I just want to briefly explain why the wars in the Syria, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan are all connected and have very little to do with the agendas being evocated to the ordinary man and woman in the street but are more about hidden agendas and political-economic projects for the future.
Absolute
Power...................
What do all these Muslim
countries invaded and occupied by Christendom have in common?
What does the breakup of
the Balkans have to do with this new economic project for the wealth
of the Caspian Sea and the new Silk Road? What do they have in common
with the vast oil and strategic resources wealth of the Caspian Sea
and the North Caucasus and also their geographic location as transit
points for pipelines, air and sea hubs and docking stations?
Politicians of today
are already, in consort with other parties, fighting resources wars
of the future. In some twisted way they must see themselves as
'knights in shining armour' defending their own future generations so
that existing lifestyles can continue to be maintained well into the
distant future.
Higher Plans
You know, I don't think
much of the Islamic State but occasionally they do come up with a
phrase which catches my attention:
''Man Plans, but so too
does God''
Even for a non-believer
or atheist the phrase might be: 'you cannot foresee everything';
'sometimes inexplicable things just happen of their own accord to
conspire to destroy 'the best-laid plans of mice and men'.
I have been told so many
times not to ask 'awkward' questions that I have given up on the
mainstream and these days prefer to communicate direct to anybody out
there prepared to listen.
The Great Game
Jordan is already 'in the
bag' as is part of the Ukraine, but Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran
are all key geostrategic and geopolitical locations which are
themselves part of that golden new transit corridor (or The New Silk
Road) bringing the wealth of the mineral resources of Central Asia
into Europe and beyond.
.
The Birth and Graveyard
Of Civilisations
Study the above regions very carefully
because wars in you and your childrens' names will be fought in all of
them. They may well be the last resting place for some of them –
never having known exactly why they were 'sacrificed' 'for a
(higher?) political 'vision'.
The Caspian Sea region is the next El
Dorado for mineral exploitation.
After that (or maybe sooner) will come
the North and South Poles, Africa, the Southern Philippines – which
is why all superpowers are racing to place their flags in and
underneath the Arctic and Antarctic Seas and positioning to deploy
forces (paramilitary, contractors, advisors and otherwise) into new
potential areas of 'conflict'.
I am not passing judgement. What I am
saying, as a professional journalist and researcher, is that I
believe that you do have the right to know exactly why your sons and
daughters may be required to make the ultimate sacrifice. As I have
explained it, the grand project, perhaps you will be of the view that
the 'price' is worth paying?;to maintain an existing civilization, an
existing lifestyle, values, ethics and structures of power. So I am
assuming that, even when you know the truth, you will not be 'too
angry'.
Unfortunately the politicians (a core
of them to which the higher projects are integral) calculate that
this would not be so and that the anger of the common man and woman
would be 'politically unsustainable' and morally 'unjustifiable'
(reprehensible) should they ever reveal their 'grand designs' for
public scrutiny.
Just One Example
The scientific 'missions' or 'outposts'
at the North and South Poles are now being replaced with permanent
military outposts and bases. Those countries who have the strongest
claim to territories at both Poles are those who can demonstrate
their ability to protect their territory through the display of
military force.
The Caspian Sea Region
If you look at the above map you will
see the strategic importance of all the countries bordering the
Caspian Sea.
Just to reiterate the wars in Chechnya,
Dagestan, Azerbaijan and the ( Christendom-backed) Islamist
separatist groups affiliated to ISIL who were so fanatical and
caused such carnage on a par with ISIS/ISIL were all backed by the
West to break the provinces away from Russian 'influence' so that
future resource and military alliance deals could protect the vital
oil, gas, uranium, plutonium and other mineral asset transportations
through Turkey and Syria and then onto Europe.
The wars in Dagestan and Chechnya have
been very vicious, all covertly funded by either Western superpowers
or by the Russian Federation (supporting the anti-rebel forces.)
They have been forerunners and 'testing
grounds' for tactics and strategies later used by the Islamic State
(ISIS/ISIL.)
Interesting, Al Qaeda is and was
separately funded and is ideologically 'different' from many of the
Caucasus groups, even though it sent fighters 'in solidarity' with
'Islamic brothers fighting the Christian oppressor' (who in this
case, is the Russian Federation.)
It becomes very complicated when you
know that the Gulf States have played an integral 'middleman'
'broker' role for Christendom in the logistics, the backing funding
and training of these separatist groups of the Caucasus and
elsewhere.

[Just
One Phase Of A Long Journey]
On one level I can of course appreciate
the sentiment.
The political thinking for these grand
projects is something along these lines:
Well we have used up most of the
accessible resources in our own parts of the world. In order to
maintain the civilization we have all become accustomed to it will be
vital to secure new mineral, oil and gas resources and other
strategic assets, as yet undeveloped, from other parts of the world –
and to protect them against 'marauders' [pirates] along the way -
just like centuries long past – forming military alliances with
friends and partners along the route.
This is simply following a tradition
and strategies of empires - which is thousands of years old.
The weapons have changed but the
thinking, tactics and strategies are fundamentally the same.
If it were not Christendom it would be
Russia, or Japan, China or Germany or the Arab Islamic world, or
Africa or whichever civilization held sway at that moment in time.
Human nature is human nature. ['The Fitrah' I think it is called in
the Islamic world. It has no exact translation but I believe that it
refers to a 'natural calling' which every human being possesses at
the moment of birth.]
You are probably expecting me at this
point to draw a conclusion or offer solutions.
Those I want to leave to you, the
reader.
Thanks for taking the time to read and
to reflect.

ISIS Recruits Using The Visual Medium

Graphic Design
The
largest collection of Islamic Caliphate State visual propaganda
assembled to date at any one blogsite on the internet..... don't
miss it!
This
will not include beheadings, torture, and the murder of innocent
people as featured elsewhere but it will show very cleverly crafted
graphic works to attract (mainly young naïve)
recruits
to their ranks with the promise of 'fun' and 'adventure' at the
'fringes' and how 'hip' Islam is - should they join the ranks of the
'invisible' 'armies' of The Caliphate – for 'adventures' which are not available for
them in their 'boring' lives so carefully 'crafted' and 'controlled'
by others to 'deny' them their 'true' potentials and the 'true' knowledge of Islam as interpreted through The Islamic State.
This use of the visual medium and, what I call, 'adventure surreal graphics' is part of a growing trend amongst 'terrorist' groups of all
persuasions, worldwide.
It
started with the far left movements in the 60s and 70s, then the far
right, now it is a recruitment tool by nearly every 'extremist'
organisation seeking to 'capture' the next generation of acolytes.
