Is the U.S. Government Planning War to Quell the Tide of Economic Unrest?

By Gary D. Barnett

May 30, 2010 "Lew Rockwell" --  In my opinion and in a word: Yes!

Headlines:

    * “READY FOR WAR,” “U.S. Military told to get ready in Korea Standoff, Obama
orders commanders to prepare ‘to deter future aggression.’” By Drudge and MSNBC
    * “U.S. Begins Massive Military Build Up Around Iran, Sending Up To 4 New
Carrier Groups In Region” by Tyler Durden
    * “Clinton: Korea Must Face ‘Consequences’ For Sunken Warship”
    * Homeland Security, Northeast Intelligence Network: “The Syrian Missile Crisis:
Threat of War Very Real”
    * “The Expanding U.S. War in Pakistan” by Jeremy Scahill
    * “Yemen, Latest War Front?” by CBS News

These are but a very few of the recent headlines about more U.S. war, but the
Iranian and Korean situations are the most dangerous, and the threats against Iran I
think the most real.

United States wars are virtually all wars of aggression, so it is quite evident that U.S.
wars are “fought” for reasons other than self-defense. That means there are ulterior
motives involved that are not related to moral behavior, but instead to nefarious
intent. This is a disturbing revelation, and one little understood by the American
masses. It is one however, that if more understood, could literally blow the lid off the
notion that the purposeful buildup of the military–industrial complex is for the
defense of this nation! This thought scares the life out of those in power who need to
keep the populace scared to death at all times in order to propagate their crimes.

Our economy, as is the case for much of the rest of the world’s economies, is
currently imploding. Since all major economies in the world are based on valueless,
un-backed, and worthless money, this situation should have been evident to the
mainstream long ago. Of course the failing economy is just one piece of the puzzle,
but it is most definitely the most important piece. With a so-called vibrant economy
over the past decade or so, even though it was based on lies and deceit, and was a
complete sham, the general population was easy to control during these so-called
“prosperous” times. With the real economy now being exposed for the fraud that it
is, and the real risks becoming more evident, the once complacent citizen is now
becoming angry. Because of this, the evil U.S. federal government must find a new
method of fooling the masses into believing in “their” government and country. War
is the obvious answer, as war solidifies the putrid and false nationalistic worship of
the peasants more than any other ploy.

In my opinion, any bad economic news, any exposure of the current economic fraud,
any sovereign government risk of collapse, any higher unemployment or excessive
price inflation, will anger the majority and vastly escalate the government’s need to
start another war. It cannot afford to let the situation get out of hand, as there are
many more of us than there are of them, so whatever becomes necessary in the
mind of government in order for it to effect its manipulation and control over the
people will be implemented. If that is a purposely orchestrated and unnecessary war,
then so be it.

The openness of these plans and the blatant steps being taken by the federal
government to protect its power are disturbing to say the least. Even with this
openness however, most are still in the dark. Since 2001, our civil rights have been
for the most part destroyed. Laws have been enacted that allow the government to
capture and hold indefinitely any citizen it deems a risk, and without the possibility of
charge or trial. Legislation to open and construct holding camps [see here] has been
proposed and plans to implement this process are being prepared for today. Martial
Law is now not just a possibility but a probability. This government in my opinion is at
the same time preparing for both Martial Law and war to quell the tide of possible
civil unrest due to economic instability or collapse. This is astounding, as both ends of
the spectrum are being covered by Leviathan’s planned course of action. This should
frighten all of us!

This time around the false flag event(s) leading to another war should immediately
be scrutinized and brought to light, and those who expose the forthcoming
government and neo-con lies should not be considered conspiracy nuts, but rather
truth-tellers and heroes. I am warning you in advance, as so many others have done
before me, that the next war will be pre-planned and calculated. The federal
government’s actions are no longer hidden, and the motive for its criminal and
murderous behavior is there for all to see. Obviously, those who now rule over us are
confused and dazed, but they are nonetheless prepared to do what is necessary to
keep their position of power intact. This government will not consider the means, but
only the ends, so that justification will then become more palatable to those so easy
to fool.

The dangers of this situation are tremendous. A war with Iran will upset not only the
entire Middle East, but the whole world. The terrorism risk due to blowback will
increase dramatically; this in and of itself helping the guilty government to
perpetuate the crime, all the while gaining even more power and authority over us.
Not only will many more innocents abroad be murdered, but many more Americans
will also have to die as fodder for the cause of the elite.

These situations are not accidental but designed, and they are designed so that the
few can survive in luxury, while the rest of us suffer. When will the common man
come to the realization that government in a now totalitarian society like ours is not of
the people, by the people, and for the people, but that people are of the
government, by the government, and for the government? Only when all individuals
are sovereign and free, and in total control of the State will this paradigm shift back
to its original design.
