What's Really Going On

(I read Anthony Wile and he is by far one of the more intelligent writers dealing with the workings of the Global Elite. He's certainly not some wingnut conspiracy theorist, but a financial insider who has seen the machinations behind the headlines. His book "HIGH ALERT," is at the top of Pillar Of Autumn's recommended reading list.)

Water Promotion by Anthony Wile

The next great promotion of the monetary elite has to do with water and food. That's my speculation, anyway. It's being set up right now via global warming, and the insistence of the world's most important international bodies that global warming is going to damage the planet's infrastructure and put food and water at a premium.There are plenty of legitimate reasons to argue that global warming - if it exists - is a natural occurrence. But not according to the United Nations. Here's what the United Nations had to say recently, according to an Reuters article, U.N. Agency Pressures Ban on Climate Crisis Summit."The U.N. environment agency pressured Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday to call an emergency climate summit amid dire reports about the risks from global warming. A summit, tentatively planned for September, would focus on the hunt for a successor to the Kyoto Protocol on cutting greenhouse gases widely blamed for forecasts of more heatwaves, floods, droughts and rising sea levels. U.N. environment agencies are lobbying Ban to play a leading role in helping governments battle climate change after Kyoto expires in 2012. But he stopped short on Tuesday of endorsing his officials' proposal for a summit of some 20 key leaders. ... Ban discussed the summit plans in Nairobi with Achim Steiner, executive director of the U.N. Environment Program (UNEP). Earlier this month Ban also met Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. Climate Secretariat. "This is a critical year and we must bring developed and developing countries together toward a conclusion," said Steiner's spokesman Nick Nuttall. On Friday, the broadest scientific study of the human effect on the climate is set to conclude there is at least a 90 percent chance that human activities, mainly burning fossil fuels, are to blame for most of the warming in the last 50 years."Click Here

The United Nations is a great promotional device for the monetary and power elite. They can make virtually any argument, scientific or not, and count on it receiving the imprimatur of serious mainstream journalism and even scientific approbation via a galaxy of scientists who receive government stipends and will perform on demand. No promotion is any good without a way to capitalize on it, and now the "other shoe" may be falling. An article reported on by the AFP, entitled "Climate change means hunger and thirst for billions" suggests the following:"Billions of people will suffer water shortages and the number of hungry will grow by hundreds of millions by 2080 as global temperatures rise, scientists warn in a new report. The report estimates that between 1.1 billion and 3.2 billion people will be suffering from water scarcity problems by 2080 and between 200 million and 600 million more people will be going hungry. The assessment is contained in a draft of a major international report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to be released later this year, Australia's The Age newspaper said. Rising sea levels could flood seven million more homes, while Australia's famed Great Barrier Reef, treasured as the world's largest living organism, could be dead within decades, the scientists warn, the newspaper said. The Age said it had obtained a copy of the report, believed to be one of three prepared for release by the IPCC, which is highly regarded for its neutrality and caution. Some 500 experts are meeting in Paris this week ahead of the release on Friday of the IPCC's first report since 2001 on the state of scientific knowledge on global warming. The report will be followed in April by volumes focusing on the impacts of climate change and on the social-economic costs of reducing the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming."

Weather forecasters can't get tomorrow's weather right, but the United Nations - which can't get to the bottom of the oil-for-food-scandal - is part of a forward-looking team of globe-spanning entities that can figure out where the world will be in 80 years. Of course, if the world were in a good place, we wouldn't need the alphabet soup of agencies that clog the media with cries of doom and despair.It's not very complicated at root. Take the bird-flu hysteria. Now, bird flu may or may not mutate into something that will actually kill many humans, but right now you have a better chance of falling down the stairs and breaking your neck than dieing of bird flu. Yet bird flu has served a purpose. Pharmaceutical companies are getting rich peddling various "potential remedies." Most egregious, of course, is the Tamiflu rip off. FMNN itself helped break the story in a 2005 article entitled, Tamiflu Gilead Chair Was ... Rummy, as follows:"Readers can be helpful, and one just wrote in to inform us of a link that we had never imagined - Donald Rumsfeld, until he resigned and joined the Bush Administration, was the chairman of something called Gilead which just happened to make something called Tamiflu. Now anyone who hasn't been on Mars for the last month or two, knows that there were only two things that were going to stop the human version of bird flu. One was a bird flu vaccine (which probably would work better if you were a bird) and the other was something called Tamiflu. Yes, that Tamiflu. In such short supply that the hundreds of millions of orders that have been pouring into Gilead probably won't be filled for another 12 months or so. But everyone has got to have it because somehow or other it became established that Tamiflu really worked. This was the party line, anyway, for about a week, until word began trickling back in that maybe Tamiflu didn't work. In fact, the word on Tamiflu has always been positive at first and then eventually negative. It's a kind of pattern. We even find corroboration of it here on the Democrats.com, in what appears to be either a chat room or news roundup as follows, 'Rummy was CEO of Gilead Sciences until named to the Bush cabinet and, like Cheney, still has ties that bind to the 'old company.' Now isn't it an "amazing coincidence" that the drug Tamiflu patented by Gilead Sciences is being pushed by the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases as the NUMBER ONE choice for flu, which, wonder of wonders, is sweeping through in one epidemic after another.'"Click Here

As we recall, the United States has purchased billions of dollars worth of ineffective Tamiflu as an antidote for bird flu - which has killed a lot of birds but no humans.The point is, these are all promotions. The idea is to use these international agencies - and domestic government entities as well - to whip up hysteria over the doom du jour. Once people are scared enough, the big cash out begins.You see it over and over again. People can't conceive that they are being manipulated on this level. But they are. International agencies are not the public-spirited entities they seem. Sure, the people in them may be well meaning but the reason for their existence has little to do with their purported purpose. They are vehicles meant to benefit the well-connected and super-rich.That's why I can say with some certainty that one of the next big promotions is going to center around food and water. Where does the cash out begin? Take a look at this report from alternative 'Net journalist Wayne Madsen:"WMR's Paraguayan sources have confirmed that George W. Bush recently bought 42,000 hectares (over 100,000 acres) of land in Paraguay's northern "Chaco" region. The land sits atop huge natural gas reserves, according to sources in Asuncion. Moreover, the land deal was consummated in a dinner meeting between Bush's daughter Jenna and Paraguayan President Nicanor Duarte. Although Jenna, who was in Paraguay under the cover of a 10-day UNICEF trip to visit child welfare projects, put the Bush family seal of approval on the land deal, the actual legal papers were worked out by Bush family lawyers and business representatives. Jenna Bush is supposedly working for UNICEF in Panama City. The Bush land is close to a new U.S. military installation, the Mariscal Estigarribia Air Base. It is also nearby a huge tract of land purchased by Sun Myung Moon that sits astride Latin America's largest water aquifer, the Guarani aquifer."Click Here

Meanwhile, we read this from Reuters - California May Ban Lightbulbs"A California lawmaker wants to make his state the first to ban incandescent lightbulbs as part of California's groundbreaking initiatives to reduce energy use and greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. The "How Many Legislators Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb Act" would ban incandescent lightbulbs by 2012 in favor of energy-saving compact fluorescent lightbulbs. "Incandescent lightbulbs were first developed almost 125 years ago, and since that time they have undergone no major modifications," California Assemblyman Lloyd Levine said on Tuesday".Click HereThe madness is only beginning, I suppose. But it is a man made madness. And if you want to understand the truth of the world in the 21st century, you have to do what old-fashioned reporters used to do - follow the money. Wherever there is a prophecy of doom, there is also a cash out. Bird flu, peak oil, global warming, the war against terrorism - these are tales shaped with a purpose. Yes, they are nightmarish. But if we do not wish to be as children, we will wake up from our slumbers and see them for what they really are.
