War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza’s Offshore Gas Fields More than five years ago, Israel invaded Gaza under “Operation Cast Lead”. The following article was first published by Global Research in January 2009 at the height of the Israeli bombing and invasion under Operation Cast Lead. In the wake of the invasion, Palestinian gas fields were de facto confiscated by Israel in derogation of international law A year following “Operation Cast Lead”, Tel Aviv announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean “off the coast of Israel.” At the time the gas field was: “ … the most prominent field ever found in the sub-explored area of the Levantine Basin, which covers about 83,000 square kilometres of the eastern Mediterranean region.” Coupled with Tamar field, in the same location, discovered in 2009, the prospects are for an energy bonanza for Israel, for Houston, Texas based Noble Energy and partners Delek Drilling, Avner Oil Exploration and Ratio Oil Exploration.

Understanding the NWO Strategy [1.3] On this page, I’ll offer a comprehensive overview of the New World Order’s true nature and the globalist strategy in building it and presenting it to the public. Since this is a rather big subject, I’ll be constructing this entry in a modular way over time, so check back periodically to see what new material has been added. [Mod 1.5 – 9 December 2015: I have added a new section, “Don’t get swept away by the coming Truth Tsunami,” to the bottom.] THE TWO NWOs The key to understanding the globalists’ strategy in implementing the New World Order is to understand that there are actually two NWOs: a Western-fronted decoy New World Order and a BRICS-fronted real New World Order. Once you understand how and why the globalists created them and played them against each other, all of the confusing information floating about the mainstream and alternative media will start making sense. > The Western-fronted decoy NWO …such as “unilateral”… …(source) …”unipolar”… …(source) …and “unipower”… …(source)
Grandmaster Putin’s Trap | Oriental Review Accusations of the West towards Putin are traditionally based on the fact that he worked in the KGB. And therefore he is a cruel and immoral person. Putin is blamed for everything. Any accusations against this man only emphasize his ability for quick analytical thinking and making clear and balanced political and economic decisions. Often Western media compares this ability with the ability of a grandmaster, conducting a public chess simul. Despite numerous success reports in the style of Fox News and CNN, today, Western economy, led by the United States is in Putin’s trap, the way out of which no one in the West can see or find. What is the truly tragic predicament of the West and the United States, in which they find themselves? Development of crude oil prices. Last time under president Reagan, such actions of the West’s lowering of oil prices led to ‘success’ and the collapse of USSR. Very few people understand what Putin is doing at the moment.

Saudi Arabia, an ISIS That Has Made It Photo Black Daesh, white Daesh. The former slits throats, kills, stones, cuts off hands, destroys humanity’s common heritage and despises archaeology, women and non-Muslims. The latter is better dressed and neater but does the same things. The Islamic State; Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism, a messianic radicalism that arose in the 18th century, hopes to restore a fantasized caliphate centered on a desert, a sacred book, and two holy sites, Mecca and Medina. The West’s denial regarding Saudi Arabia is striking: It salutes the theocracy as its ally but pretends not to notice that it is the world’s chief ideological sponsor of Islamist culture. One might counter: Isn’t Saudi Arabia itself a possible target of Daesh? One has to live in the Muslim world to understand the immense transformative influence of religious television channels on society by accessing its weak links: households, women, rural areas.

Fractional-Reserve Banking is Pure Fraud, Part IV Hold your real assets outside of the banking system in a private international facility --> Written by Jeff Nielson (CLICK FOR ORIGINAL) Part I of this series explained how most of what we call “banking,” and in particular “fractional-reserve banking,” is inherently criminal and fraudulent. Part II of this series noted how after the Big Banks blew up our financial system in 2008 (with their reckless gambling and systemic frauds), both the Big Banks and our corrupt governments promised “never again.” What they actually did was the exact opposite. Why would the tentacles of this financial consortium even want to operate with virtually zero reserves? What happens when a Big Bank suffers a supposed “catastrophic loss?” Now, when the banksters want to steal capital to cover the losses from their gambling and illegal frauds, they demand a bail- in. Part III of this series pointed out the obvious truth that we don’t need any of this.
Exclusive: "And It's Gone... It's All Gone" - The One Gold Scandal That Goes To The Very Top Long before Turkey was flagrantly arming and funding the CIA-created "terrorist organization" known as ISIS, there was another, far more elaborate way in which Turkey was flaunting international sanctions against an ostracized state - in this case Iran - which involved an epic gold smuggling triangle of Hollywood-thriller proportions, all made possible thanks to the United Arab Emirate city of Dubai. Best known known for its luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture including the world's tallest building, a lively nightlife scene, and a facade of openness and decorum, what Dubai is less known for is its unprecedented seedy underbelly of corruption and untouched criminality among the handful of billionaire oligarchs, princes, sheiks and sultans, who quietly dominate the local (and global) power and financial structure. But first, a little history. This, in itself, is not surprising. So three years ago, Turkey was purchasing Iran oil and paying in gold. But why gold? Who is Abu-Alhaj?

Context of 'February 1982: Article in Israeli Journal Says Israel Should Exploit Internal Tensions of Arab States' The winter issue of Kivunim, a “A Journal for Judaism and Zionism,” publishes “A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties” by Oded Yinon. The paper, published in Hebrew, rejects the idea that Israel should carry through with the Camp David accords and seek peace. Instead, Yinon suggests that the Arab States should be destroyed from within by exploiting their internal religious and ethnic tensions: “Lebanon’s total dissolution into five provinces serves as a precedent for the entire Arab world including Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and the Arabian peninsula and is already following that track.

This Just Became The Most Important Map In Geopolitics Earlier today, in “Mid-East Melee: Sectarian Showdown Looms As Bahrain Cuts Ties With Iran, UAE Recalls Ambassador,” we brought you the latest from the war-torn Mid-East where a worsening spat between Saudi Arabia and Iran threatens to plunge the region into chaos. Make no mistake, things were already out of control. The conflict in Syria has mushroomed into a global proxy war, Iraq is struggling to drive Islamic State from key cities, and Yemen remains mired in war nine months after the Saudis entered the fray to drive back the Houthis and restore the Hadi government. Against that backdrop, the region could have done without the events that unfolded over the weekend. In order to understand the upcoming sectarian strife and in order to fully grasp who belongs to Iran’s sphere of influence and who is loyal to the Saudis, one needs to have a working knowledge of what the Sunni-Shiite split looks like across the region.
