[Phred42]

Have you noticed that after all of the hoopla since 2006 (right through to the Pick of Gupta from SG) that the Reich-Wing agenda continues to be pushed, executed and completed?

Kissinger: Obama's 'task' is to help create a 'new world order'
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Henry_Kissinger_Obama_should_act_to_0106.html


President Nixon's Secretary of State, the aging Henry Kissinger, recently told CNBC that he believes the current world economic crisis is a "great opportunity" for President-elect Obama to help create a "new world order."

"What do you think the most important thing is for Barack Obama?" Kissinger was asked. "... If you had to say, this is going to be the country, or the conflict, or the place that will define the Obama administration, what would it be?"

Kissinger replied: "The President-elect is coming into office at a moment when there are upheavals in many part of the world simultaneously. You have India-Pakistan. You have, ah, a jihadist movement."

1. The best thing Kissinger ever did was keeping the Neocons out of Nixon's admin.

Otherwise, he's a dirtbag.

The Thirty-Year Itch
Three decades ago, in the throes of the energy crisis, Washington's hawks conceived of a strategy for US control of the Persian Gulf's oil. Now, with the same strategists firmly in control of the White House, the Bush administration is playing out their script for global dominance.

By Robert Dreyfuss
March/April 2003 Issue

If you were to spin the globe and look for real estate critical to building an American empire, your first stop would have to be the Persian Gulf. The desert sands of this region hold two of every three barrels of oil in the world -- Iraq's reserves alone are equal, by some estimates, to those of Russia, the United States, China, and Mexico combined. For the past 30 years, the Gulf has been in the crosshairs of an influential group of Washington foreign-policy strategists, who believe that in order to ensure its global dominance, the United States must seize control of the region and its oil. Born during the energy crisis of the 1970s and refined since then by a generation of policymakers, this approach is finding its boldest expression yet in the Bush administration -- which, with its plan to invade Iraq and install a regime beholden to Washington, has moved closer than any of its predecessors to transforming the Gulf into an American protectorate.

Ever since the oil shocks of the 1970s, the United States has steadily been accumulating military muscle in the Gulf by building bases, selling weaponry, and forging military partnerships. Now, it is poised to consolidate its might in a place that will be a fulcrum of the world's balance of power for decades to come. At a stroke, by taking control of Iraq, the Bush administration can solidify a long-running strategic design. "It's the Kissinger plan," says James Akins, a former U.S. diplomat. "I thought it had been killed, but it's back." <more>

6. I hope like hell Obama has the level of sense and courage to keep these fascists at bay.

You know BushInc and their favorite Democratic puppets are going to be leaning on Obama and his crew heavily.

3. Kissinger was heard to say at one point that McCain would be the next president.

That was before Connell was deposed, and nixed their plans.

Now, he has to stick his paws in where they don't belong, because they just cannot let go of power.

5. Man, THAT will go over well with the NWO conspiracy-holders.

And I might now be amongst them.

8. This quote should help cement your view:

from the article:

"International affairs cannot be conducted entirely by drawing borders and defining international politics by who crosses what borders with organized military force," he said.
Translation: No borders wanted, no outcries against invading a country.



"This has now been reinforced by the financial crisis, which totally unexpectedly has spread around the world.
It limits the resources that each country has for a foreign policy geared to an assertion of its own pure interests."

Translation: We, the few, powerful and rich, don't want individual countries asserting a right to their own resources.
Bad bad selfish countries, keeping their stuff away from US.

7. Kissinger's task is to avoid being arrested for war crimes. n/t

9. Soundslike he is setting up a storyline to start the harrassment

of Obama by the fringe nutcases.
Everything he does will now be a conspiracy to the fallout shelter crowd.
