What The Man Behind The Curtain Wants For America

"Pay no attention to
that man behind the curtain!"
is the

famous quote from the wizard in the movie classic,


The Wizard Of Oz. However, when it comes to
national and international affairs, many, if not most,
Americans seem to have taken the mythical wizard`s
advice. They seem oblivious to the man behind the
curtain. And make no mistake about it: there is a man
(or group of men) behind the curtain.

The American people seem
mesmerized by the smoke and mirrors of the political and
media elite. For the most part, the people of this
country seem totally unaware that while the global elite
who run this country passionately promote the "war on
terrorism," those same elite are also violently
attacking the liberties of the heartland. While they
create a gargantuan

Department of Homeland Security for our
"protection," they are using that very same
department to eviscerate the constitutional protections
of our republic. While they insist that we are dependent
upon oil from Saudi Arabia, they are ignoring giant oil
and natural gas discoveries located

under the frozen tundra of our 49th State (and other
places). The elite have brilliantly turned the drumbeats
of war against Islamofascism into a giant smokescreen to
hide their insidious plans to wage a different kind of
war against the American people.

The war against the
American people is waged on a hundred fronts and with a
hundred agendas. But one word seems to best describe the
heart of the strategy. And that word is FEAR. The
problem is, the man behind the curtain has misdirected
people`s fears.

The American people are
continually besieged with the imminent threat of what
little, pipsqueak, piss-ant countries such as Iraq and
Iran pose to the safety and security of America.

Hogwash! Iraq was never
an imminent threat to these United States and George W.
Bush and rest of his globalist

neocons always knew it. Neither is Iran an imminent
threat to America. And the Bushkies know this too.

Iran does not even have
the capability of inflicting serious damage upon Israel,
much less the United States. It has a ragtag army. No
navy. No air force. No nuclear weapons. No really
sophisticated weapons of any kind. Oh, they harbor
several thousand fanatical sand people who live in caves
and who huddle together in antiquated forts. They carry
AK-47`s, and some short-range shoulder-fired missile
launchers. Yet, the Bush propagandists have
conservatives worked up into a frenzy, all prepared to
support a nuclear attack against Tehran.

Believe me, if Israel
thought that Iran was a serious threat to its security,
it has the ability to take that country further back
into the Stone Age than it already is.

Beyond that, if Bush
believes that we are truly fighting a war against
terrorists in Iraq, why does he give $20 billion worth
of military weaponry to Saudi Arabia? Have you ever seen
or even heard of a Saudi army? How about a Saudi navy? A
Saudi air force? You haven`t heard of it? Neither has
anyone else.

What we do hear from
former CIA insiders is that much of any military
hardware shipped to Saudi Arabia often winds up in the
hands of Muslim terrorist organizations such as
al-Qaeda. In addition, readers are aware that many, if
not most, of the al-Qaeda insurgents that are shooting
and killing our soldiers and Marines in Iraq do not come
from Iraq—they come from Saudi Arabia! So much for
Bush`s "war on terrorism."

What the globalists
behind the curtain are doing is using the "war on
terrorism" to distract the American people from the
war they are waging—against us!

How else can one explain
the fact that, while the neocons are waving the war flag
against a schizophrenic but impotent Iran, they totally
ignore the very real threat posed by the People`s
Republic of China. If the American people want an enemy
to be concerned about, China, not Iran, is the place to
look.

But do not ask Defense
Secretary Robert Gates whether we should be concerned
about Red China. He recently said,

"I don`t consider China an enemy."
Pray tell, is Gates entirely stupid or
just unbelievably naïve? Or, is he trying to
deliberately deceive us?

Besides the commonly
reported foibles

of Red China selling the United States tainted food,
poisoned toys, and crappy automobile tires, not to
mention all the junk Americans are forced to buy
(produced with slave labor, no less), the Communist
nation is also known to be sending hordes of spies

into our country. They are using a multi-billion
dollar trade surplus with the United States to build a
modern army and navy. In fact, they have developed a
very sophisticated submarine fleet capable of delivering
nuclear missiles (including some with multiple warheads)
anywhere in the world. They routinely track our
submarines and use satellite technology to track our
troop movements.

And speaking of
satellites, when is the last time you heard any notable
media personality or government spokesman acknowledge
the fact that Red China is now even using advanced
weaponry to shoot satellites out of the sky? In fact,
experts predict that by 2010 China will be able to knock
out most of our satellites in low-earth orbit. You mean
the man behind the curtain did not tell you that? I
wonder why?

Plus, do not lose sight
of the fact that China`s growing military is
underwritten by American corporations along with the
political establishment within both major parties. It is
American technology, American materials, and American
wealth that is enabling Red China to create a very
sophisticated and menacing global threat. But, again,
the man behind the curtain does not want you to know
that.

Instead, the man behind
the curtain—along with his water boys Giuliani, Romney,
Huckabee, McCain and members of the media—are
facilitating Red China`s usage of the Panama Canal and
the

new NAFTA superhighway to allow China to increase
its foothold in the government and commercial markets of
the U.S. And don`t overlook the fact that the communist
country is not only buying up vast amounts of the U.S.
debt, it is buying up vast amounts of private debt. And
we hear nary a peep from the man behind the curtain.

The other thing the man
behind the curtain does not want us to see is the impact
that the forever war is having upon our economy. America
is being pushed to the brink of recession, maybe even
depression. The chief culprit of our economic woes is
excessive federal spending. And the biggest hole into
which all this deficit spending is being dumped into is
none other than the forever wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Nearly $1 trillion dollars has already been
spent or is in the process of being spent, and
conservative estimates of an additional $1 trillion will
be spent to fight this forever war in the near future.

In addition, Bush`s oil
buddies have successfully manipulated the economy to the
point that Americans are paying over $3 a gallon for
regular gasoline. Diesel is running even higher than
that. (Gas was $1.25 a gallon when G.W. Bush became
President.) And economists are predicting that gasoline
will rise to over $4 a gallon in the very near future.

At the same time,
however, it is very likely that we discovered enough oil
and natural gas reserves beneath the surface of Alaska
(and other places) to supply all the oil and natural gas
needs of the United States for the next 200-300 years.
But, guess what? Not only are we not bothering to drill
for these resources, our government and oil industry
moguls will not even acknowledge that such resources
exist. Once again, the old wizard creates his smoke and
mirrors and implores us to ignore that man behind the
curtain.

Ladies and gentlemen, I
have just scratched the surface. But the bottom line is
this: we have been had! Furthermore, the only
Presidential candidate who understands any of this is
Congressman

Ron Paul. But don`t expect any of our media or
political elite to get behind Mr. Paul. Why? The man
behind the curtain doesn`t like Ron Paul, and that is
putting it mildly. He knows that Ron Paul threatens the
global elites` Machiavellian plans more than any other
single political figure today. This disdain for Dr. Paul
does not apply to other Republicans, of course.

The truth is, if the man
behind the curtain has his way, he would much prefer an
establishment Republican to be elected this November.
Oh, don`t get me wrong: neither Hillary nor Obama will
provide much resistance to the globalist goons that are
hiding behind the curtain. It is just that when a
liberal Democrat is in the White House, conservatives
and Christians seem to come out of hibernation and
actually start resisting some things. But when a
Republican is in the White House, the little goblins
behind the curtain are free to wage their war of
globalism and elitism against an unsuspecting and sleepy
electorate.

Therefore, it does not
matter to a tinker`s dam whether it is Giuliani, McCain,
Huckabee, or Romney who wins the election this November.
The man behind the curtain will still produce his smoke
and mirrors and create more fear and panic over any and
every convenient distraction in the hopes that the
Munchkins will not wake up in time to realize that the
one who needs to be feared (and fought) is none other
than the man behind the curtain.
