World Affairs: A journal of international issues

[sussurus2]

Cross-post from Jeff's blog comment from today, apologies for the repeat but I'm curious if anyone else here reads this journal or even knows about it.<br><br>FYI this month's _World Affairs, A Journal of International Issues_ contains a great precis on US "Star Wars" defense spending era --it's motivations and what the actual spending funded vs. the smoke-screen boondoggle--and several other topics of note in this forum, including --get this-- free energy and specifics on our very own home-grown military UFO's. Printed in India. <br><br>Contributors in this issue include:<br>T. Bearden (free energy guru, former US Army)<br>Vishnu Bhagwat, Former Chief of Staff, Navy, India<br>Richard Boylan (!)<br>Michel Choussodovsky Director, Centre for Research on Globalization<br>Daniele Ganser, Sr. Researcher for Security Studies, National Inst. of Tech at Zurich Switzerland<br>David Guyatt, Investment Banker<br>Leuren Moret, former research scientist Lawrence Livermore labs<br>Lafred L. Webre, Institute for Cooperation in Space<br><br>This in a journal that boasts major multinational bank and other such industry-to-industry concerns as advertisers. Fascinating to watch which corporate interests support what, and to try to figure out their motivations--assuming they are paying attention to the actual content and not just the academic-sounding publication title. <br><br>I started reading it more than a year ago, when they ran the "Black Budget of the USA" story linking all of that together (yes that was Catherine A. Fitts and we know there are "issues" with both her and Ruppert...). I found about every other issue compelling and read cover to cover. I'm not that big on the literarary history of south america and its links to colonialism or the fighting thereof, forgive me.<br><br>Unlike almost any other such source, this quasi-academic journal has been straight up reporting on 911 this whole time as well, in the context of the reality of global hegemonic war/arms/drugs/natural resources destructive history and present day realities vis-a-vis the Global South (or whatever current euphemism you care to use to describe to victimized geographies and peoples formerly known as the Third World). <br><br>I recommend it, but open to anyone's cogent critique or deconstruction of its politics. Thanks.<br><br>S. <p></p><i></i>

I think it belongs to the LaRouche organization's global network. I did some research on it some time back. Affiliated with LaRouche's Schiller Institute if I remember correctly. Sorry, I don't really remember the details of what I found out, I just remember I concluded it was a LaRouchie mag. <p></p><i></i>

I find no Larouche connection.

Tom Bearden has always raised a big eyebrow with me with his theory of Yakuza and Russian weather manipulation. <br> <p></p><i></i>

Looks very mainstream and scholarly.<br><br>I noticed an article about US aircraft using black technology. Hmmmm. Describes how technology from extraterrestials is being employed.<br><br>Kinda like the "Weekly World News" of the mainstream and scholarly journals I guess.<br><br>Might be fun reads but I think I'll put my time into other ventures!<br><br>There is some whacky Indian newspaper of this ilk too, can't remember its name.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

NewKid, I thought Bearden's Yakuza/Aum Sen Rikyo/Russia "Tesla weapons" stuff was a completely weird too, until I proved to myself that the free energy processes he describes elsewhere in his website and books actually work. That set me back a bit, and I had to reconsider a LOT of my reality map. <br><br>If you subscribe to Jeffs complex analysis of things in this f-d up world, I'd submit that all Bearden is saying is simply "here are a few more arms of the Octopus you may not have known about." Looked at that way, it's no more weird than the Latin American drugs/arms/US gov't/Rev. Moon connection. Seriously. The familiar constellation of organized crime/weapons/control/cult becomes a fill-in the blank template for how things work in the shadow world that Jeff is helping to expose.<br><br>S. <p></p><i></i>

[NewKid]

I don't doubt the technology part of it, although I'm not entirely convinced either, it's more of the "who" that he names. Bearden seems sort of a cold war relic who keeps obsessing about the Russians. I don't know. He goes in my "proceed with caution" file. <br><br>As for Lazar, I'm pretty sure he's a hoax. <p></p><i></i>

The other thing we have to remember is that trillions of dollars have been looted from the American govt in the last 10 years that are totally unaccounted for. That money isn't just for someone's Swiss account or to run guns and drugs. That's more money than you can even imagine. You're talking about the kind of money to create a new civilization. <p></p><i></i>
