Many sub-threads... I don't wish to derail the momentum.
Wombaticus, I look forward to reading your article. Obviously, there's not a divide between imperialism, per se, and occultism (per se). The imperialists have an occult edge. As someone just said, that's imperialism in real time; they destroy the history. I think above all geopolitics is best understood purely imperialistically. It's certainly not "all about the oil." Ultimately, the imperial pragmatism is about squelching resistance to the capitalist "New World Order," the mass-corporatizing of the planet. Sometimes it's trickier to see- Afghanistan was no socialist haven that needed to be privatized. But Afghanistan has been an imperialist battleground throughout history. It's the entranceway to Central Asia, to Russia. Putin/Medvedev are evil, yes, but the fact is the Russian economy is still far too non-privatized for transnational interests, and the Russian people far too sympathetic to socialism (the majority say life was better under Stalin). Obviously, the Cold War never ended; we see a military encirclement of Russia and the persistent attempts to put up the missile shield in Poland. In other words, Russia is still viewed as a threat to capital, mostly because the *Russian people* are viewed as a threat to capital. Sort of the same thing in Yugoslavia/Serbia, though in that case the country was essentially democratic socialist, and thus deserved the wrath of NATO.
But, going back, Alex Jones would have us believe the exact opposite, that the "New World Order" is communist, which is imo the top reason Alex Jones is allowed to be so popular. Oh yeah, I see the IMF going around the world communizing economies; that's really what's happening. They take privatized economies, and they nationalize everything! It's so backwards that you question the intelligence of someone who believes this. High on passion and Bible-thumping, low on intelligence, not to mention racist towards Mexicans and anti-choice. Though I do stand corrected on Hugo Chavez, 2012 Countdown... but in general Jones persistently identifies socialism with fascism. Anyone who does that is a "CIA asset," whether they know it or not (and Jones certainly does not). And, no, I would not say that Castro (either one) is a "tyrant" or "dictator" in any remote regard. There are elections in Cuba, and the government is generally liked. There's free access to higher education, housing for all, organic farming programs started all around the country, freedom of speech and the press, etc.- while living under the repression of U.S. economic sanctions. It is hardly perfect, but if this is dictatorship then the word becomes meaningless (or becomes synonymous with "socialism," which is how the western media would like it to be).
AD, I understand your frustration about the David Icke stuff. What the hell is wrong with some of you; what are you missing? Icke supports Zundel- not a neutral cause- one chooses one's battles- that equates to Holocaust revisionism. Icke says that the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" doesn't implicate *all* Jews in the global conspiracy, only the controlling conspiratorial cabal. Very cute, but the point is that "Protocols" is a FAKE DOCUMENT, probably made up by Russian intelligence under the Tsar. And a great Icke quote:
"Jewish people are simply wonderful when they allow themselves to be who they really are. They have such a contribution to make to the good of the world. But I have rarely met one who really loves themself or does not carry the burden of inherited guilt."
...does not carry the burden of inherited guilt. So Jews have inherited a guilt, huh? More than Christians, aye? If this isn't blatant anti-semitism, then wtf is?
Oh yeah- Zundel, Protocols of Zion, and reptilian bloodlines- this celeb is great for the cause of deep politics.
I take it you know this person? It must have been difficult to go through. (At least there's a sea-side cottage at the end. 
)
