- Obama Now Preparing for Naval Missile Strike Against Syria!
by 21st Century Wire
President Obama’s White House is clearly feeling the pressure from the war makers in the US establishment, the City of London and the Israeli lobby – to strike Syria militarily from the Mediterranean Sea.
–
White House discussions come amid arrangements for U.S. military assets in the region to be repositioned for an upcoming strike.
–
Based on the talk this week of the west already implicating the Assad regime – and not US-backed rebels, for a chemical weapons attack, based solely on the opposition’s hearsay reporting and without any investigation… it appears that the Obama Administration are preparing to cave into the pressure and launch an unprovoked “punitive” airstrike against the country of Syria.
–
But as we’ve learned from past US Presidents, evidence is not necessary to justify a military strike against another sovereign state.
–
21st Century Wire reported already this week, that the evidence is overwhelming how the opposition-rebel confab has been preparing and using chemical weapons in Syria in order to open the door for a US-led “coalition military strike” against the Assad regime.
–
We also revealed how the western media has buried reports from earlier this year that US may have already backed a plan to send Libyan chemical weapons into Syria for rebel use, in order to blame an attack on the Syrian government.
–
The UN already found rebels guilty of dabbling in chemical weapons, but the Washington-London axis is ignoring any conclusions which do not fit their public desire for regime change and the complete restructuring of Syria – even as their own rebel/FSA allies threaten more chemical attacks today.

– - FROM LIBYA TO SYRIA: “WAR IS A RACKET. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN”!
by James Corbett, http://www.corbettreport.com/
“War is a racket. It always has been.” These words are as true now as they were when Major General Smedley Butler first delivered them in a series of speeches in the 1930s. And he should have known. As one of the most decorated and celebrated marines in the history of the Corps, Butler drew on his own experiences around the globe to rail against the business interests that use the U.S. military as muscle men to protect their racket from perceived threats. From National City Bank interests in Haiti to United Fruit plantations in Honduras, from Standard Oil access to China to Brown Brothers operations in Nicaragua, Butler pointed out how intervention after intervention served the business interests of the well-connected even as American taxpayer money went to foot the bill for these adventures. The names and places may have changed, but the old adage holds: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
– - Highly decorated General Smedley Butler says is his book, War is a Racket :
WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
–
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
–
In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.
–
How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?
–
Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few — the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.
