December 24, 2011 - In January of 2011, we were told that "spontaneous," "indigenous" uprising had begun sweeping North Africa and the Middle East in what was hailed as the "Arab Spring." It would be almost four months before the corporate-media would admit that the US had been behind the uprisings and that they were anything but "spontaneous," or "indigenous." In an April 2011 article published by the New York Times titled, "U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings," it was stated:
"A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt, the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington."
The article would also add, regarding the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED):
"The Republican and Democratic institutes are loosely affiliated with the Republican and Democratic Parties. They were created by Congress and are financed through the National Endowment for Democracy, which was set up in 1983 to channel grants for promoting democracy in developing nations. The National Endowment receives about $100 million annually from Congress. Freedom House also gets the bulk of its money from the American government, mainly from the State Department. "
It is hardly a speculative theory then, that the uprisings were part of an immense geopolitical campaign conceived in the West and carried out through its proxies with the assistance of disingenuous foundations, organizations, and the stable of NGOs they maintain throughout the world. As we will see, preparations for the "Arab Spring" and the global campaign that is now encroaching on both Russia and China, as predicted in February 2011's "The Middle East & then the World," began not as unrest had already begun, but years before the first "fist" was raised, and within seminar rooms in D.C. and New York, US-funded training facilities in Serbia, and camps held in neighboring countries, not within the Arab World itself.
The Timeline - 2008-2010 Preparing the Battlefield
December 3-5, 2008: Egyptian activists from the now infamous April 6 movement were in New York City for the inaugural Alliance of Youth Movements (AYM) summit, also known as Movements.org. There, they received training, networking opportunities, and support from AYM's various corporate and US governmental sponsors, including the US State Department itself. The AYM 2008 summit report (page 3 of .pdf) states that the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, James Glassman attended, as did Jared C0hen who sits on the policy planning staff of the Office of the Secretary of State. Six other State Department staff members and advisers would also attend the summit along with an immense list of corporate, media, and institutional representatives.
Shortly afterward, April 6 would travel to Serbia to train under US-funded CANVAS, formally the US-funded NGO "Otpor" who helped overthrow the government of Serbia in 2000. Otpor, the New York Times would report, was a "well-oiled movement backed by several million dollars from the United States." After its success it would change its name to CANVAS and begin training activists to be used in other US-backed regime change operations.

2009: In a US State Department funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Libery (RFE/RL) article titled, "Exporting Nonviolent Revolution, From Eastern Europe to The Middle East," it was stated, "Popovic then exported his nonviolent methods, helping train the activists who spearheaded Georgia's Rose Revolution in 2003 and Ukraine's Orange Revolution in 2004. And now, Popovic is deploying his new organization, called Canvas, even farther afield -- assisting the pro-democracy activists who recently brought down despotic regimes in Egypt and Tunisia."
Activists from Iran, Belarus, and North Korea were also confirmed by RFE/RL as having received training from CANVAS. The RFE/RL article places the activists' meeting with CANVAS sometime during 2009.
February 2010: The April 6 Movement, after training with CANVAS, would return to Egypt in 2010, along with UN IAEA Chief Mohammed ElBaradei. April 6 members would even be arrested while awaiting for ElBaradei's arrival at Cairo's airport in mid-February. Already, ElBaradei, as early as 2010, announced his intentions of running for president in the 2011 elections. Together with April 6, Wael Ghonim of Google, and a coalition of other opposition parties, ElBaradei assembled his "National Front for Change" and began preparing for the coming "Arab Spring."
Clearly then, unrest was long planned, with activists from Tunisia and Egypt on record receiving training and support from abroad, so that they could return to their home nations and sow unrest in a region-wide coordinated campaign.
An April 2011 AFP report would confirm this, when US State Department's Michael Posner stated that the "US government has budgeted $50 million in the last two years to develop new technologies to help activists protect themselves from arrest and prosecution by authoritarian governments." The report went on to explain that the US "organized training sessions for 5,000 activists in different parts of the world. A session held in the Middle East about six weeks ago gathered activists from Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon who returned to their countries with the aim of training their colleagues there." Posner would add, "They went back and there's a ripple effect." That ripple effect of course, is the "Arab Spring."
The Timeline - 2011 Year of the Dupe
January 16, 2011: Al Arabiya News reported in their article, "Tunisian exiled reformist to head back home," that Moncef Marzouki was returning to Tunisia (from Paris) amidst the chaos sown by US State Department trained, supported, and equipped mobs who were "triggered" by the convenient release of US State Department cables via Wikileaks. Quite clearly, considering the training Tunisian opposition groups received long before the cables were released, the Wikileaks cables were merely used as a planned rhetorical justification for long ago premeditated foreign-funded sedition. Since then, Wikileaks has been employed in an identical manner everywhere from Egypt to Libya, and even as far flung as Thailand.
Moncef Marzouki, it would turn out, was founder and head of the Arab Commission for Human Rights, a collaborating institution with the US NED World Movement for Democracy (WMD) including for a "Conference on Human Rights Activists in Exile" and a participant in the WMD "third assembly" alongside Marzouki's Tunisian League for Human Rights, sponsored by NED, Soros' Open Society, and USAID.
A "call for solidarity" by the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) mentions by name each and every group constituting the Tunisian opposition during the "uprising" in January 2011 as "FIDH member organisations." These include Marzouki's "Tunisian League for Human Rights," the "Tunisian Association of Democratic Women," and the "National Council for Liberties in Tunisia," or CNLT. FIDH, acting as an international nexus for various foreign-funded organizations carrying out sedition worldwide under the guise of "human rights," is itself fully funded by the US government through the National Endowment for Democracy, Soros' Open Society, and many others with clearly compromised affiliations.
January 28, 2011: After a warning by journalist/activist Dr. Webster Tarply of World Crisis Radio, the alternative media began looking closer at the unrest in Egypt which began shortly after Tunisia's growing crisis. In "All is not what it seems in Egyptian Clashes," it was noted that protest leader Mohammed ElBaradei was in fact a devoted agent of the West, with a long standing membership within the Wall Street/London funded International Crisis Group (ICG) along side "senior Israeli officials" including the current Israeli President Shimon Peres, the current Governor of the Bank of Israel, Stanley Fischer, and former Israeli Foreign Minister, Shlomo Ben-Ami. The ICG also includes senior American bankers and geopolitical manipulators including George Soros, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Richard Armitage, Samuel Berger, and Wesley Clark.
Ironically, Western media outlets insisted ElBaradei was both anti-American and strongly anti-Israeli in a rouse best described a year earlier in March 2010 in the Council On Foreign Relations' paper, Foreign Affairs' article "Is ElBaradei Egypt's Hero?":
"Further, Egypt’s close relationship with the United States has become a critical and negative factor in Egyptian politics. The opposition has used these ties to delegitimize the regime, while the government has engaged in its own displays of anti-Americanism to insulate itself from such charges. If ElBaradei actually has a reasonable chance of fostering political reform in Egypt, then U.S. policymakers would best serve his cause by not acting strongly. Somewhat paradoxically, ElBaradei’s chilly relationship with the United States as IAEA chief only advances U.S. interests now. "
The most recent manifestation of this came when Israel farcically called ElBaradei an "Iranian agent." This latest performance further illustrates the immense level of duplicity with which world events are being manipulated.
February 17, 2011: The London-based National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) calls for a Libyan "Day of Rage" to match the US-destabilization rhetoric used in Tunisia and Egypt. The NFSL has been backed by the CIA-MI6 since the 80's and had made multiple attempts to overthrow Qaddafi's government with both terrorist attacks and armed insurrection.

February 18, 2011: In the wake of Hosni Mubarak's ousting, it was revealed that the Open Society Institute supported the NGOs involved in the drafting Egypt's new constitution. These "civil society" groups include the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information openly funded by the Open Society Institute and the Neo-Con lined NED funded Egyptian Organization for Human Rights. It appears that while the International Crisis Group was turning out the strategy, and their trustee ElBaradei leading the mobs into the streets, it is the vast array of US supported NGOs which were working out and implementing the details on the ground.
February 21, 2011: An interview with Ibrahim Sahad of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) on ABC Australia, featured every talking point covered by the mainstream corporate media from previous weeks regarding Libya, all with the White House and Washington Monument looming over him in the background. He made calls for a no-fly zone in reaction to unsubstantiated accusations Qaddafi was strafing "unarmed protesters" with warplanes.
March 2011's "US Libyan Policy: Zero Legitimacy," noted the clearly heavily armed, western-backed insurgency that was still being disingenuously portrayed by Western media as "peaceful protests."
February 28, 2011: "Destroying Libya" stated:
While Libyan opposition leader Ibrahim Sahad leads the rhetorical charge from Washington D.C., his National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL) on the ground is armed to the teeth, as it has been throughout its 20 year history of attempted CIA backed rebellions against Qaddafi. In 1984, the NFSL tried to overthrow Qaddafi in a failed armed coup. The Daily Globe and Mail also recently confirmed that the NFSL along with the Libyan National Army, both under Sahad's new National Conference of Libyan Opposition (NCLO), had both "attempted coups and assassinations against Col. Gadhafi in the 1980s."
Already at this point, both British and US representatives were admitting Libyan rebels were indeed heavily armed, and instead of condemning the violence, openly called for additional weapons and military support to be provided.
March 17, 2011: The UN decided to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya to save the globalist-backed rebellion sputtering in failure and bordering on a "Bay of Pigs" disaster. Canadian, US, French, Arab, and UK jets were already reported to be preparing for the operation.
March 24, 2011: Unrest had already begun in Syria, as NATO began bombing Libya while Egypt and Tunisia had already fallen into political and economic chaos. In "Globalists Hit in Syria," the opposition is closely examined and documented to be once again a creation of Western-backed opposition groups.
Much of the "evidence" of Syria's unrest was being filtered through organizations such as the London-based Syrian Human-Rights Committee whose hearsay statements posted on its website were cited by corporate news media in outlandish reports of violence that also include "activists say" after each allegation. The "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights," also London-based, is now the exclusive source cited by corporate-media reports regarding Syria.
March 26, 2011: In Egypt, signs of a counterrevolution and the first signs of weakness in ElBaradei's chances to be installed as president began to show. Mobs pelted ElBaradei with rocks calling him "an American agent." Wikileaks would again come to the aid of US interests and try to reintroduce the "anti-Western" image ElBaradei had been hamfisted in portraying.

March 28, 2011: Fortune-500 funded Brookings Institution's "Libya's Test of the New International Order" is reported on- exposing the war as not one of a "humanitarian" nature, but one aimed explicitly at establishing an international order and the primacy of international law.
Image: Red = US-backed destabilization, Blue = US occupying/stationed. China's oil and sea access to the Middle East and Africa are being or have already been cut. A similar strategy of isolation was used on Japan just before the onset of World War II.
April 17, 2011: Syria's unrest yields widespread arson as well as reports of gunmen targeting both protesters and state security forces in a bid to escalate violence. In, "Globalist War Machine Fixates on Syria," the "Libyan Precedent" is already being cited by US and French politicians as justification to use force against Syria. A later article, "Color Revolution's Mystery Gunmen," establishes a historical context within which to view the current violence in Syria and the fact that it is provocateurs sowing much of the violence.
April 21, 2011: Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko announces that his nation is now also under covert attack by Western forces to foster an "Arab Spring-style" insurrection. In, "Besieging Belarus," documented ties between Belarus opposition members and the same Western organizations and institutions fueling the Arab Spring are illustrated.
April 22, 2011: John McCain touches down in Benghazi, Libya and consorts with verified terrorists who were fresh back from Iraq and Afghanistan, killing US troops. A West Point report would later confirm (.pdf from West Point's CTC can be found here) with absolute certainty that the region from which the Libyan rebellion began was also the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group's (LIFG) center of operations. It would also expose the fact that LIFG were in fact long-time affiliates of Al Qaeda with LIFG members occupying the highest levels of leadership within the terrorist organization.
Photo: Ultimate act of treason: McCain calls for recognition and extra-legal support for the very men who had killed US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. By denying "Al-Qaeda" a base in Iraq, but handing them the entire nation of Libya, he has brought American foreign policy to a new level of surrealism.
May, 2011: In "Libya at Any Cost," the conflict in Libya was reported to be escalating, including NATO attempts to assassinate Qaddafi and the targeted killings of several of his family members including several of his grandchildren.
"America's Arab Deception" attempted to review the past several months of engineered chaos blowing through Northern Africa and the Middle East, while it was noted in, "You Can't Make This Stuff Up," that the National Endowment for Democracy already began its first round of self-aggrandizing, and passing out awards to several of the dupes and collaborators that made its campaign of carnage throughout the Arab World a reality.
June, 2011: In "Arab Spring brings Corporate Locust," the true agenda behind Egypt's, and indeed the entire "Arab Spring's" unrest became apparent as US representatives gave Fortune 500 executives a tour of destabilized Egypt and Tunisia in an effort to promote economic liberaliztion and privatization. John McCain and John Kerry led the tour and had co-sponsored bills to promote what would essentially be the meshing of Egypt and Tunisia's economy into the Wall Street/London international order.
Photo: McCain (left) and Kerry (right) gesticulate as they explain their paymaster's agenda within the confines of an Egyptian Coca-Cola factory. This is part of their latest trip surveying the effects of their US-funded opposition overthrowing Hosni Mubarak's government.
July, 2011: The African Union would wholly reject the International Criminal Court's mandate against Libya, exposing the severe illegitimacy with which it operates. Ties to corporate-financier funded organizations are revealed in "It's Official: International Criminal Court has ZERO Mandate," as well as the tenuous nature of the ICC's claims against Libya's Qaddafi. It would later be confirmed by members of Libya's "human rights" community that indeed they, in collaboration with the rebel leaders, fabricated the numbers supplied to both the UN and the ICC, and that no verified or documented evidence of Qaddafi's "atrocities" were produced.
In Thailand, another long-running US-backed color revolution finally yielded results and saw the return of Wall Street proxy, Thaksin Shinawatra's political party to power. Various mouthpieces of the global elite, including the Council on Foreign Relations itself, gave stern warnings to Thailand's establishment to accept the tenuous results of the July election or face isolation and other consequences. Another Southeast Asian country, Malaysia would also see color revolution take to their streets - this time in Malaysia by the yellow-clad, NED-funded Bersih movement.
Photo: Thaksin Shinawatra, a long time servant of the global elite, since before even becoming Thailand's prime minister in 2001, reports to the CFR in New York City on the eve of the 2006 military coup that ousted him from power. He has now returned to power in Thailand via a proxy political party led by his own sister, Yingluck Shinawatra. Securing the votes of only 35% of eligible voters puts on full display how tenuous his support really is within a nation he claims stands entirely behind him.
By late August, NATO began a coordinated attack on Tripoli, Libya, involving an elaborate psychological-operation that claimed to have eliminated or captured the entire Qaddafi family in a single day. The following day, Saif Al-Qaddafi would turn up alive and well, and free, while leading fierce fighting that would carry on until October and result in NATO leveling the cities of Bani Walid and Sirte in particular, into piles of rubble. It had become entirely clear that NATO was providing air support not for democracy-loving freedom fighters, but for hardcore terrorists who were carrying out a systematic campaign of genocide and reprisals throughout the country.
Photo: Libya's rebels are far from motivated by democratic aspirations. Their grievances lie along ethnic, not political divides. "Gaddafi supporters" is the euphemism being used by the global corporate-media in describing the generally darker skinned and African tribes and who are bearing the brunt of NATO-backed rebel atrocities.
Also as Libya's violence spiraled out of control and atrocities carried out by the rebels and their NATO backers became more obscene, it became clear how fraudulent the "War on Terror" was. In "Libyan Rebels Listed by US State Department as Terrorists," it is illustrated how NATO members were guilty of anti-terrorist laws for providing material support for listed terrorist organizations.
Image: A screenshot taken directly from the US State Department website showing the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) clearly listed as a foreign terrorist organization. This is important, as US Code prohibits providing material support to listed terrorist organizations. With revelations of Al Qaeda and LIFG fighters leading the Libyan rebellion with NATO-members' full military, financial, and diplomatic support, attempts are being made to plea ignorance as to the true nature of the rebels. Listed below LIFG, is MEK, an Iraqi/Iranian group also being armed and supported by the US. (click on image to enlarge)
September also saw real humanitarian catastrophe unfold in Uganda, where a British corporation sanctioned genocide to clear land they had "leased" from the Ugandan government. Thus illustrates how the cause of "humanitarian concerns" is called on only when it serves Wall Street and London's interests, and otherwise ignored when it involves verifiable genocide carried out in the pursuit of furthering their wealth and power.
Photo: It's all smiles and laughs in Tripoli as McCain, a chief proponent and driving force behind the US intervention in Libya, literally glorifies Al Qaeda's exploits in the now ruined nation. Miles away, the very rebels he was praising are purposefully starving the civilian population of Sirte in an effort to break their will, while they and NATO indiscriminately use heavy weapons aimed at crowded city centers.
October 2011: While Tunisia and Egypt had fallen, and Libya too being seized by proxy forces fueled by the West, the Obama administration began withdrawing troops from Iraq. This suspicious withdrawal when otherwise the rest of the Middle East was under US proxy assault raised serious suspicions that an escalation, not retreat was to follow.
Rhetoric for war with Iran had been steadily increasing and the beginning of what looked like a covert war was being fought inside and along Iran's borders. A disastrous ploy of framing Iran for the alleged planned assassination of a Saudi ambassador in Washington D.C. fell apart when Iranians linked the plot to US-backed terrorist organization Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK).
November 2011: Syria's "peaceful protesters" who had been all along fully armed and attempting to stoke a Libyan-style civil war, were finally acknowledge as such by the corporate-media and more importantly by the corporate-funded think-tanks that supply them with their talking points. In "IISS: Syria's Opposition is Armed," it is states that a report out of the International Institute for Strategic Studies by Senior Fellow for Regional Security at IISS-Middle East, Emile Hokayem openly admitted that Syria's opposition was armed and prepared to drag Syria's violence into even bloodier depths.
Also in November, Wall Street and London's assault on Libya came full circle with the installation of Abdurrahim el-Keib as prime minister. El-Keib who spent decades in exile in the US, was formally employed by the Petroleum Institute, based in Abu Dhabi, UAE and sponsored by British Petroleum (BP), Shell, France's Total, the Japan Oil Development Company, and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
The UN, in another attempt to escalate foreign intervention in Syria, would release a UN Human Rights Council report regarding Syrian "crimes against humanity" which was actually co-authored by Karen Koning AbuZayd, a director of the US Washington-based corporate think-tank, Middle East Policy Council, that includes Exxon men, CIA agents, US military and government representatives, and even the president of the US-Qatar Business Council, which includes amongst its membership, AlJazeera, Chevron, Exxon, munitions manufacturer Raytheon (who supplied the opening salvos during NATO's operations against Libya), and Boeing.
The report itself contained no verifiable evidence, but rather hearsay accounts recorded in Geneva by alleged "victims" "witnesses," and "defectors," put forth by "all interested persons and organizations." In other words, it was an open invitation for Syria's enemies to paint whatever image of the ruling government they pleased.
December 2011: With Tunisia and Libya fully run by Western proxies, Egypt and Syria still mired in chaos, and with globalists calling for war on Iran, the "Arab Spring" was nearly complete. However, the "Arab Spring" was only the first leg of a grander strategy to encircle Russia and China. In December, the campaigns to move in on Russia and China would begin in earnest.
Image: The "String of Pearls:" China's oil lifeline is to be cut by the destabilization and regimes changes being made throughout Africa and the Middle East. Along the "String" the US has been destabilizing nations from Pakistan to Myanmar, from Malaysia to Thailand, to disrupt and contain China's emergence as a regional power.
Hillary Clinton, in Foreign Policy Magazine would pen, "America's Pacific Century," a declaration of imperial intent for American "leadership" in Asia for the next 100 years. From "Hillary Clinton and the New American (Pacific) Century:
"Upon reading Clinton's declaration of intent for American leadership into the next century, readers may recall the similarly named, ranting "Project for a New American Century" signed off on by some of America's most notorious Neo-Conservatives, which almost verbatim made the same case now made by Clinton. In fact, America's evolving confrontation with China, marked acutely by Obama's announcement of a permanent US military presence in Australia just this week, is torn directly from the pages of decades old blueprints drawn up by corporate-financier funded think-tanks that truly rule America and its destiny.In Myanmar (Burma) "democracy icon" Aung San Suu Kyi, whose entire movement is a creation of Wall Street and London, received Hillary Clinton as well as Thailand's proxy-PM Yingluck Shinawatra in a globalist show of support designating her as the de facto leader and point of contact within the Southeast Asian country. Clinton's visit coincided with a successful campaign led by US NGOs to oust Chinese interests in the nation that resulted in the halting of a dam that was to provide electricity, revenue, flood control and irrigation for the people of Myanmar.As reported in June, 2011's "Collapsing China," as far back as 1997 there was talk about developing an effective containment strategy coupled with the baited hook of luring China into its place amongst the "international order." Just as in these 1997 talking-points where author and notorious Neo-Con policy maker Robert Kagan described the necessity of using America's Asian "allies" as part of this containment strategy, Clinton goes through a list of regional relationships the US is trying to cultivate to maintain "American leadership" in Asia.
For example, the recently reinstalled Wall Street proxy regime in Thailand led by Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck, has received reassurances by Clinton herself just this week stating that, "it is in the national security and political interest of the United States to have this government succeed." As reported in-depth in "CONFIRMED: Thailand's "Pro-Democracy" Movement Working for US," Thaksin Shinawatra and his political regime have had long standing, well documented ties to Wall Street and London. The US backing of puppet-regimes like Thaksin, installing them into power, and keeping them there is central to projecting power throughout Asia and keeping China subordinate, or as Kagan put it in his 1997 report, these proxy regimes will have China "play Gulliver to Southeast Asia's Lilliputians, with the United States supplying the rope and stakes.""

Meanwhile in Russia, Wall Street and London attacked more directly, attempting to interfere with Russian elections in December and resulting in several street protests led by overtly linked NED, Soros, and Rothschild operatives. NED-funded NGO "Golos" played a key role in portraying the elections as "rigged" and constituted America's extraterritorial meddling in Russia's sovereign affairs.
Image: NATO's creeping encirclement of Russia has now been combined with another round of "color revolution" destabilizations in Belarus and now in Russia itself.
A concerted effort by the corporate-media to misrepresent the unrest in Russia was pointed out in, "Russian Protests: Western Media Lies ," illustrating just how coordinated the overarching global destabilization being carried out actually is. In "Wall Street Vs. Russia," it was concluded:
"It is quite clear that the National Endowment for Democracy, Freedom House, the Foreign Policy Initiative, and even the US State Department whose new foreign affairs advisory board is full of think-tanks representing overt corporate-financier interests, are not interested in "democracy," "human rights," or "freedom" in Russia, but rather removing the Kremlin out of the way, and reestablishing the parasitic feeding on the Russian people and its economy they enjoyed after the fall of the Soviet Union."In late December it would be confirmed that the same Al Qaeda militants that ravaged Libya with NATO's aid, were on their way to Syria to help overthrow the Assad government. LIFG leader Abdel Hakim Belhaj was confirmed to be on the Syrian border preparing troops of the so-called "Free Syrian Army."
This wasn't the only recent example of the West operating in tandem with listed terrorist groups. It was also reported in, "EXPOSED: US Troops Guarded Terrorist Camp in Iraq," that the US has been guarding a terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq training camp inside Iraq with US troops and is planning to relocated them, possibly in a freshly abandoned US military base in Iraq while D.C. lobbyists work feverishly to have them de-listed, armed, and sent to conduct terrorist operations in Iran. Shocking comments are made in the Brookings Institution's report, "Which Path to Persia?" where US policy experts conspire to use the terrorist organization against the government of Iran. In essence, corporate-funded policy makers have transformed the US into a state-sponsor of terror.
Conclusion
The year 2011 was surely the year of the dupe. Youth enamored with lofty, naive notions of "freedom" sold to them by corporate-fascist funded NGOs were brought into the streets to create chaos and division which was then capitalized on by covert political and even military maneuvering by the West and its proxy forces. In Egypt the nation is teetering on the edge of being fully integrated into the Wall Street/London international order, while a big-oil representative is enjoying his new position as prime minister of Libya. In Tunisia a life-long stooge of Western machinations is now president, and an alarming campaign of NATO-backed violence and terrorism is gripping Syria.
With the encirclement of Russia and China, these dupes have witlessly brought the world to the edge of World War III, and clearly done nothing at all to improve their own state of being. As their nations fall under the control of increasing Western influence, the resources once used to placate them and defend their nationalism will now be diverted into the bottomless maw of the parasitic banking combines that are currently destroying both North America and Europe.
February's "The Middle East & then the World" is well worth reading again - to see how far we've come over the last year since it was written, and what is left for the globalists to do. As the globalists come ever closer to China and Russia's doorsteps the stakes will continue to rise and the placid spectating Americans and Europeans have enjoyed this year will forever be lost.
Finally, consider what was written in one of the last articles of this year, "The End Game Approaches:"
"Complacency will kill, apathy is complicity: as the elitist-engineered "Arab Spring" reaches its conclusion, we stand on the precipice of being meshed into an inescapable, corporate-fascist, scientific planetary regime.... the End Game approaches.Let us not "hope" next year fairs better for free humanity. Let us with our two hands, our will, and our capable intellects ensure that it isbetter. The decision is not that of our "leaders" or "representatives," it is the decision of each and every one of us and what it is we do with our time, our money, our resources, our energy, and to where we pay our attention - each and every day. Let us define where it is we want our destiny to take us, and start taking one step at a time to get there.Now more than ever, "we the people" must steel ourselves against this immense corporate-fascist empire as it sprawls death, destruction, and domination, militarily and economically, across the planet. We must, our very survival depends on it, boycott and replace entirely the corporate-financier interests that drive this dark, expansive agenda. It has been literally spawned of our apathy, complicity, and ignorance, fueled by us - the very source of corporate fascism's power - and it must be our activism, resistance, and intellect that brings it to an end.
As far fetched as it may sound, every Pepsi we swig, every day we decide to drink beer and tune into our corporate-sponsored bread and circus, be it the modern day chariot races of NASCAR or the gladiatorial contests of the NFL, we bring inescapable eternal servitude to a corporate-fascist scientific dictatorship one step closer.
It is now "do or die" - unlike in the past, mankind now possesses the technology to render the vast majority of the population intellectually inferior through mass medication, food poisoning, GMO crops that rot our bodies and minds from the inside-out, and the martial means of eliminating vast swaths of the population permanently. Not only is this a possibility, it is a reality the global elite have conspired over at great length through texts like Ecoscience penned by current White House science adviser John Holdren and former White House science adviser Paul Ehrlich who openly talk about mass, involuntary medication to forcibly sterilize the population, reduce our numbers and confine us within what they literally call a "planetary regime." The End Game approaches."
Let us wait no longer for "saviors," but rather look in the mirror and realize, God, the Universe, or whatever higher power you believe in, has already endowed you with everything you need, in your heart, your mind, and within your hands to prevail in whatever noble pursuit you, or "we the people" choose.

Voxnews had it's humble beginnings in as one of the earliest widely read news blogs. This was before the term blog was invented. The year was 1997 and I was disillusioned by the fact that there was a huge gulf between the official version of events and what actually happened. In particular I was disturbed by the fact that had grown up "believing" one set of political realities only to discover that many things that I was taught by "the system," schools, the media, the history books, and the rest of officialdom was a lie.
It was the discovery of the truth about the CIA's assassination of John F. Kennedy which stood as a particular activating event in my political consciousness. That they can so thoroughly extinguish such a hope as was the promise of JFK and do so in the light of day and with the full weight of officialdom behind the coverup of such a terrible lie made me uncoomfortable to know what kind of government I was living under and what kind of threats that we all face from such a government. From that point on, I saw things in a different light.
Having traveled throughout the world I came to very much like the many different peoples and countries I visited. But when I saw the systematic oppression and deception of the peoples and countries of the world by my government I decided to do everything in my power to expose counter and restrain this governments ability to export terror, assassinations, theft and lies to the beautiful people of the world or anyone for that matter.
Around 1995 I built my first news site on an earthlink subdomain.
I was producing a television show during this period and already had a substantial video editing facility but still it was not possible to stream the video I was producing on the early internet back then - the internet was too slow for video. I tried though and still have some early clips of those earliest of early web video of our show about the arts, music and alternative scene in New York around 1992-1994
I immediately started putting up primitive websites using whatever software and templates I could find then customizing them to make them look a little more special than the average ready made web template, but my early websites were bits of code I borrowed from here and I learned HTML coding.
By 1997 I had a full blown news website - it was angry and militant in tone. The writings by this time were scathingly critical of the government and advocated direct action.
I registered www.fuxnet.com (imagine the days when you could get a three letter domain) browsers started to appear and the World Wide Web was kicking into action. During a vacation in 1998 I failed to make a payment on that website and I lost that domain.
In 1997 I had registered www.voxnyc.com and began coding a more complex and intricate web news portal. Very anarchistic in nature but always very intelligent focusing on political theory.
In July 1999 I registered www.voxfux.com and placed similar content on it but the main site was located at www.voxnyc.com
I felt that we were a terrorist government and that I would create a popular information service to shed light on the fundamental dangers that the US government more and more represented and to organize opposition to the criminal terrorist leanings of the US government.
After the election of George Bush I began ramping up the website in a state of emergency. I was utilizing email spiders to search the web and retrieve emails from any website that contained search terms that I had specified that pertained to the things I was writing about. I would send mass emails with inflammatory headlines that I called "hooks" such as "Secret Cabal Behind Bush Plan Bio Terror Attack On US City As Pretext For Consolidation Of Total Power."
Through this method I built a large and loyal following. The truth at last.
I toyed with many designs and many logos during this period.
My logs showed that I had as many as eighty thousand individual users at any given day which peaked the day after Senator Paul Wellstone was assassinated by a covert death squad organized by the Bush criminal intelligence group. On that day I had hit the magic number 250,000 hits to the site.
Also at this time the Intelligence agencies were attacking my site full time and I was eating drinking and sleeping voxnyc.com. I had no choice. The hackers government forum hackers knew when I was sleeping and by the time I would wake up every morning I would have to spend an hour or five undoing the vandalism that had been done to the site during my sleep. I had no administrator approval of comments before they get posted and the process of removal involved lengthy sessions. I was using the relatively primitive Greymatter blog software. And it was a full time and thankless job.
But it was a prodigious time for political writing because during this time the CIA and the Bush Administration were rolling out new assassinations and covert terror attacks every day. So literally every day there was a new covert attack or psychological operation, or massive disinformation campaign by this very criminal administration and it became challenging to keep up with the sheer vast amount of terror and criminality produced during the Bush years.
Then the morning of Friday the 13th December 2002 after about a year of dealing with very spooky death threats from what I had identified was coming from the intelligence agencies themselves - there was a thunderous banging on my door of my warehouse space in the "Dumbo" section of Brooklyn.
It was a joint task force of FBI, Secret Service and CIA and they had conducted multiple simultaneous raids on multiple locations that I was known to frequent. I opened the peephole and saw a frightening array of "Men in Black" and never opened that door. An hour later after they left I discovered that they surrounded a house that I owned on Long Island, kicked the doors down and held a tenant there at gunpoint thinking he was me.
I went into hiding for three months until the ACLU, NYCLU, Electronic Frontier Foundation, The Center for Constitutional Rights and civil rights lawyer Ron Kuby provided support for my case and at that point I was no longer going it alone. Those three months alone were the scariest months of my life. (Very stressful being hunted by the most fearsome group of terrorists with a license to kill and a media who will happily say you committed suicide.)
During this time many well knob authors who did what I did were "suicided" by the shadowy intelligence networks. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative Journalist Gary Webb was murdered by one such group and it was made to look like a suicide, also Mark Hatfield author of the book "Fortunate Son" about George Bushes little criminal existence was also suicided. And there were too many others at this time. So I had to publish an Anti Suicide Statement declaring that under no circumstance would I ever consider suicide. It can be found on the Wayback machine here:
During the time I was hiding from the Intelligence agencies the government simply shut down my website and stole the domain www.voxnyc.com (it was registered by Network Solutions Inc which was operating in tandem with the intelligence agencies and run by ex intelligence agency personnel so they simply canceled the account and I had no recourse whatsoever. I did not have the money to launch a legal campaign for damages and the contract at the time only compensated loss for the value of the site fees.
So one of the largest alternative news services was simply shut down.
I quickly moved whatever articles I could find in caches over to the voxfux website and immediately started publishing again. But the constant forum vandalization and constant maintenance required took it's toll and the site went into a state of dormancy while I focused on creating video documentaries and researching and writing political theory.
At this time I delved heavily into philosophy and gained an understanding of Quantum Mechanics which led to an integration of both in many many written works that I published only to a very small audience and purposely did not make my philosophical or political writing available to a wide audience.
Around 2008 the time was right and the awareness of many of the issues that I fought hard and literally beat my head against a brick wall trying to create awareness of on a mass scale began to crystalize in the minds of many more than had existed when I first started publishing this information and so began the reestablishment of a vital news service in the pursuit of truth, freedom and the liberation of the spirit of humankind. www.voxnews.com is back!
One THIRD Of Young Americans Arrested By Age 23

Almost one in three American teenagers and young adults have been arrested by the age of 23 for anything from drug use to violent crime.
Experts believe the increase is not necessarily because of more criminal activity - but a more zealous police approach to arresting young people.
Researchers were left surprised by the arrest figure - which has risen to 30 per cent, compared to the last available figure of 22 per cent in 1965.
Handcuffs: Almost one in three teenagers and young adults have been arrested by the age of 23 for anything from underage drinking to violent crime
‘It was certainly higher than we expected based on what we saw in the 1960s, but it wasn't dramatically higher,’ said Robert Brame.
Dr Brame of the University of North Carolina and his colleagues analysed data from a national youth survey conducted between 1997 and 2008.
They believe the increase might not necessarily be down to more criminal behaviour in youth. At age 12, less than one per cent had been arrested.
Dr Brame said that being poor, struggling in school and having a difficult home life have all been linked to a higher risk of arrest in that age group.

Dr Wright of the University of Cincinnati said that many police who find ‘intoxicated kids’ now make an arrest ‘nine times out of 10’.

‘We do have to question if arrest is an appropriate intervention in all circumstances, or if we need to rethink some of the policies,’ he added.
Mr Wright - a child crime specialist but not involved in the study - said the ‘vast majority’ of arrested children will never be booked again.
The researchers looked at the annual survey which followed adolescents aged 12 to 16 in its first year and onwards to the age of 23.
Arrests in adolescents are especially worrisome because many repeat offenders start their criminal career at a young age.

The researchers said it seems that the criminal justice system has taken to arresting both the young and old more than it did in the past.

In days gone by fines and citations might have been deemed acceptable. Now many will find their employment prospects damaged by an arrest on their record - even for a minor offence.
‘Arrest does have major social implications for people as they transition from adolescence to adulthood,’ Dr Wright said.
Dr Brame told MailOnline that the researchers are still looking at ‘more detailed analyses’ to break down the data, but they are not yet finished.
The 'Cumulative Prevalence of Arrest From Ages 8 to 23 in a National Sample' study was released in the Pediatrics journal on Monday.

BTW: Just who is this Bloomberg?

Mike Bloomberg is not a statesman, nor is he an intellect, nor is there any evidence that he had excelled in the humanities, or had demonstrated that he was a person who should be entrusted with the best interests of the people. No, he's none of these things - he's a schmuck who was lucky and made billions of dollars selling real time market information terminals to brokers.
And with that money he could... purchase this projection, this illusion that he is qualified to lead anything other than a company that sells market information to brokers.
But that's the power of money, you can buy illusions and convince people of them. So long as your campaign commercials that BOMBARD the television networks in the two weeks leading up the election have scientifically crafted emotionally engaging theme music and other subliminal audio stabs, hooks, crescendos, etc. So long as you have purchased enough political loyalties from other equally corrupt scumbag politicians. So long as you can lie and deceive in carefully staged television appearances. So long as you do all these things, you can convince a lot of people that a guy who spent a lifetime selling market information to brokers will know what best for society.
This is bad joke... but this is the truth.
