Yemen's government is to allow the US to set up a military base on its territory, a political analyst says.
The US can no longer rely on Yemen's government to fight al-Qaeda because it is losing its legitimacy and becoming weaker, Ali Al-Ahmed, a political analyst, told Press TV on Wednesday.
Al-Ahmed added that his sources have revealed that the Yemeni government has decided to let the US military establish the air base on an island called Socotra located off the coast of… Continue
There isn't much to say here. Do you think the military recruiters use the following statistics during their recruitment efforts? Do you think they should?
The Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury estimated in early 2009 that between 45,000 to 90,000 veterans of the two wars had been left with “severe and lasting symptoms” of brain injury. Overall, the Defense Department estimates that as many as 20 percent of veterans had suffered some… Continue
I know, most people don't even know where it is or what country it's part of.
I've looked at Gwadar several times over the past two years on Google maps. I've also clicked on the many pictures posted, all of them actually. I'm fascinated to see the area, the cliffs, the beaches and the newly built but virtually unused port. Built by China the port was supposed to convert the landscape and create jobs and local wealth but it's done none of that. And it appears that Balochistan, a… Continue

More than 50 years now it is. The propaganda and hypocrisy of the American mainstream media seems endless and unwavering. They can not accept the fact that Cuban leaders are humane or rational. Here’s the Washington Post of December 13 writing about an American arrested in Cuba:
“The Cuban government has arrested an American citizen working on contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development who was distributing cellphones and laptop computers to Cuban activists. … Under… Continue

He joined the Harvard faculty at 23. Dr. Gordon was an executive on the War Production Board during… Continue

I think all of us here have more than entertained the idea that there's a shadow government whose make-up we all ponder. Maybe members of intelligence, the CIA, generals in the military, people like Kissinger, Cheney and Rumsfeld pulling strings behind the backs of feeble presidents who have so many people surrounding them, advising them, that rarely can they really know the truth of anything. In fact they're so insulated from the various sources of information, the media and the internet, that… Continue

As I sit here at home I often wonder what makes me different than the rest of America. No doubt I am different than most.
Why do I see Obama as a member of an elite group without concern for the average American, without remorse for sending young men to die in Afghanistan, without empathy, no different than George Bush?
Why do I see the addition of food additives and animal antibiotics and growth hormones and environmental chemical pollution as a direct attack on the… Continue
Kabul/Jalalabad—Hundreds of people, mostly students rallied in central Kabul and eastern Nangarhar provinces against the killing of civilians in foreign forces operations.
Four civilians were killed during an operation of NATO forces in Baghlan and eleven, eight of them schoolchildren, were killed in eastern Kunar and 13 others were perished in an overnight air raid of NATO-soldiers in Laghman province.
Activists of youth branch of Jamiat Eslah (Afghan Society for Social… Continue

On December 25 US authorities arrested a Nigerian named Abdulmutallab aboard a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on charges of having tried to blow up the plane with smuggled explosives. Since then reports have been broadcast from CNN, the New York Times and other sources that he was “suspected” of having been trained in Yemen for his terror mission. What the world has been subjected to since is the emergence of a new target for the US ‘War on… Continue

Americans, not you and me, but American society in general is without a doubt the most dumbed down society on the planet. I'm ashamed to be a member right now because what this video exposes is the awful truth about us.
People in other countries are aware of the global forces moving against us and we are not. We're suckers. And as the video clearly says, "they're laughing at us."
Interesting, the little tid bits of information one can find on the internet.
U.S. intelligence officials and analysts are "ignorant of local economics and landowners, hazy about who the powerbrokers are and how they might be influenced, incurious about the correlations between various development projects ... and disengaged from people in the best position to find answers," U.S. Maj. Gen. Michael Flynn wrote in a 26-page report released Monday by the Center for a New American… Continue

Hopefully there will at least be a few people here on 12.160 that won't fall for the spoonfuls of propaganda served in heaping helpings.

The Zionists and the American NWO laughs at us all. Well, maybe not you and I but surely they laugh at the majority of the American public. They laugh at us all.
Dear Mr. Terrorist by Gordon Duff

A retired US general and member of Iran Policy Committee (IPC) says all 18 to 28 years old Muslim men should be strip searched at airports as "one of these bombers" will explode an airliner in the coming days.
Thomas McInerney, a retired Lt. General with the US Air Force, told Fox News television on Saturday that within the next 30 to 120 days, "there is a danger of high probability" awaiting US airliners.
"If you are an 18 to 28-year-old Muslim man then you should be… Continue

China is not an exceptional capitalist country. Under Chinese capitalism, labor is exploited; inequalities in wealth and access to services are rampant; peasant-farmers are displaced by mega-dam projects and Chinese companies recklessly extract minerals and other natural resources in the Third World. However, China has created scores of millions of manufacturing jobs, reduced poverty faster and for more people in the shortest time span in history. Its banks mostly… Continue

The occupied government of Afghanistan and the United Nations have both concluded that U.S.-led troops recently dragged eight sleeping children out of their beds, handcuffed some of them, and shot them all dead. While this apparently constitutes an everyday act of kindness, far less intriguing than the vicious singeing of his pubic hairs by Captain Underpants, it is at least a variation on the ordinary American technique of murdering men, women, and children by the… Continue

The material I've posted on Autogenocide is critical to ANY discussion of the NWO. Critical. Vital. It ties up any loose ends. It isn't war or economic depression or social upheaval or political legislation that are vitally important although they are equally crucial and decisive. The real dilemma is the tie-in with Autogenocide. Those articles are found here and… Continue
