Syria has been bombed which calls for a deep analysis of what's going on here. As we explain in our book Splitting Pennies - what really backs the US Dollar is BOMBS. Wall Street and the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) are inextricably intertwined, whether you are an armchair intellectual or an investor it's important to understand this economic relationship.
The latest action in Syria is that policy in action. Let's take a step back and understand this critical but boringly predictable development in Syria, the players involved, their respective relevant histories, and what markets can expect.
First let's look at War Inc. or the Military as a business, or as we have outlined in a detailed article "Cult of War" (a good primer read if you're not up on this topic). With 800 Billion + per year and a likely real spend of well over a Trillion USD, the US taxpayer needs to get something for their money. The Military is in a constant state of self-justification. The US outspends the enemy by such a large figure, there are stockpiles of bombs, planes, tanks, guns, logistic supplies, boats, aircraft carriers, satellites, and just millions of expensive assets getting dusty. The US could fight World War 2 on 2 fronts and a war in Space and still have assets left over. There are hundreds of military bases, millions of personnel, it has become just a massive super entity above Presidents, above the Elite, above Governments. By itself, as a form of Artificial Intelligence, the Military will do anything to prove the need it serves and survive. The glaring problem - no enemies! The number of real enemies is dwindling. But Syria has been on the CIA's hit list for some time, controlling key Oil transport sites and other resources. Not to mention Israel has wanted to destroy the unfriendly regime for a long time. Cult of War needs to create conflicts of any size, it's a 'use it or lose it' mentality. There's no better training drill than the real thing.
The False Flag
False Flag operations are when a government or other body will secretly stage an event to make it look like it was the enemy, thus providing justification for war. False flag operations obviously need to be handled with laser like precision (ideally, but in reality such as in 911 they are botched). One of the first significant False Flags in American modern history is the sinking of the Lusitania, staged apparently by warmonger Winston Churchill in an attempt to bring the ruffian Americans into World War I:
The Lusitania set sail for Liverpool on May 1st, 1915 from New York harbor. It was carrying millions of rounds of ammunition and shrapnel. The previous captain Daniel Dow had resigned because of mixing civilian passengers with munitions. The ship was to have a British battleship escort called the Juno but was recalled before the rendezvous in spite of the knowledge that a Uboat was active in the path of the Lusitania.
False Flag operations are nothing new, Hitler burned down the government building and claimed to be able to catch the terrorists and restore order in Germany, finally naming himself Chancellor. Every powerful regime has a False Flag that they 'own' in order to justify their 10 year run in power. Their time is limited, people forget, so a new event is necessary every few years, custom tailored to the situation.
This false flag was planned and executed by MI5 (British Intelligence), although the details of the operation are as yet unclear. What is clear is that it is a Hollywood style staged event which was put together in the last minute with many mistakes and inconsistencies (they didn't have a script supervisor!) as pointed out by countless fact-based witnesses and other governments:
Speaking with EuroNews, Russia's ambassador to the EU, Vladimir Chizov, said "Russian military specialists have visited this region, walked on those streets, entered those houses, talked to local doctors and visited the only functioning hospital in Douma, including its basement where reportedly the mountains of corpses pile up. There was not a single corpse and even not a single person who came in for treatment after the attack.""But we've seen them on the video!" responds EuroNews correspondent Andrei Beketov."There was no chemical attack in Douma, pure and simple," responds Chizov. "We've seen another staged event. There are personnel, specifically trained - and you can guess by whom - amongst the so-called White Helmets, who were already caught in the act with staged videos." "All these facts show... that no chemical weapons were used in the town of Douma, as it was claimed by the White Helmets." “All the accusations brought by the White Helmets, as well as their photos… allegedly showing the victims of the chemical attack, are nothing more than a yet another piece of fake news and an attempt to disrupt the ceasefire,” said the Russian Reconciliation Center.
Of course, US warmongers will say that the Russians are protecting the Assad regime. There's plenty of video and other evidence for internet sleuths to sort through in the coming days. But we have seen this so many times before we can guess the outcome fairly easily. It was a false flag, done by the British, in a sad and pathetic last attempt to save what remaining Elite aristocrats have over the masses, post Brexit. Although actual war is unavoidable in Syria now, one possible outcome of this is a populist movement against such politics, as is happening in Hungary.
Support of the US Dollar
So what's the real reason the US chooses Syria to bomb and not Greenland for example?
1. The Petrodollar (via comment on The Gateway Pundit):
“The Chinese have recently issued the gold backed Yuan, which they, and others, have vowed to use to sell/purchase oil (amongst other things). The last two nations that tried to introduce a currency to compete against the petrodollar were Libya and Iraq. The US needs that pipeline through Syria even more than ever now, especially if they are to compete for European gas/oil markets (presently controlled by Russia and their pipeline) and the Chinese Yuan. But i’m sure none of that has anything to do with it…”
Syria is not only close to the Chinese they are also working closely with Russia. All of this is a non-USD system they are building, not controlled by DC. So of course, it has to be destroyed. This is outlined in great detail in the book Splitting Pennies.
It's not only about Syria itself, you see. The GDP of Syria won't make a difference on the USD. It's about stopping a revolution. If Syria uses a Russian - Chinese financial and energy system perhaps it will spread to Jordan, Lebanon, and who next? If half the world is suddenly using a Yuan denominated trading market, it would threaten US hegemony. So all alternatives need to be stopped in their tracks, period. That isn't an opinion it is the policy in DC based on research by companies like RAND.
Trump Politics
Trump seems to be a victim of the international cabal that was a step ahead of him the whole time. In the opinion of this author, Trump is not a 'plant' from the beginning meant to deceive the voters. The UK is the master planner of this operation, including but not limited to the false flag. When domestic attempts by the deep state to derail Trump failed, they realized a coordinated effort from abroad was a better approach, one that Trump would be defenseless against, as his experience in international politics is zero (before getting into the White House). Hence, Trump's involvement in this quagmire is meant to ensnare him in a series of decisions that will weaken his domestic position, alienate his base, while achieving goals of the War Party, Zionists, the Oil industry, and other interests in this confluence. Trump was forced with a choice: pick sides, choose the Russian facts (there was no chemical attack) or the British lies. Being attacked by the domestic media by idiotic yet influential forces, staging a dangerous trade war, and coming to the conclusion of a Russian collusion investigation, backed Trump into a corner. If he had chosen to side with Russia, it could have backfired and blown up in his face. Democrats, Leftists, and other Trump enemies would have pounced on the issue accusing him of being Putin's lap boy all along. Being that this is Trump's first rodeo, he doesn't have the complex knowledge base or pool of advisers to deal with this strongly and independently. In fact he hasn't been able to build a strong team of advisers independent of deep state snakes working against him. This is not his fault, it is just the reality of how intertwined everything is in DC. "Drain the Swamp" is a great marketing slogan, and a noble idea - but implementing it may prove impossible. And on the surface, everyone loves the hero story - an evil monster gassed innocent people, and we are 'saving' them. This is a great excuse to spend billions on bombs we don't need and use them. He bought the party line of the MIC "We have to bomb the village to save it":
“The United States will be a partner and a friend, but the fate of the region lies in the hands of its own people.”“Tonight, I ask all Americans to say a prayer for our noble warriors and our allies as they carry out their missions. We pray that God will bring comfort to those suffering in Syria.”
God will bring comfort to those we are bombing? Really? Can he be any more offensive?
This is the beginning of a series of events that Trump cannot dig himself out of. The MIC won't stop until the majority of Syria is destroyed and key resources are controlled by US forces. Some of us remember in the 90s there was 'chatter' that the NeoCons were planning a false flag in a major US City that was 'nuclear' - whether that was 911 or an event that never happened we'll never know. But one thing is clear - they have the weapons, so they will kill all that stand in their way. Whether he is one of theirs or is being manipulated by them is irrelevant for his base which was largely anti-establishment and anti-war, anti-globalist, which he has proven to be the opposite.
World War 3
With the ascent of Russia, China, and smaller states building their armed forces without reason, it is only inevitable that they are used. War between China, Russia, the US and allies is inevitable. But wait - it's not what you are thinking! There will not likely be strikes on US, Chinese, or Russian soil. Rather, as in the Hunger Games, war games will be played in theaters such as the South China Sea, Syria, and other hotspots.
World War 3 will likely last 50 - 100 years, like the cold war, it will be an going unresolved war in places like Syria. Flare ups and skirmishes will be the extent of the action. Nukes may be used but tactical nukes in a limited, regional capacity. PROBABLY. Of course, it could completely spiral out of control. But deep analysis indicates not. There needs to be just enough war to justify the military and not enough to destroy it. In the same way the MIC needs a war to justify its own existence, a complete obliteration of a major player would also be an endgame (including but not limited to a humanitarian outcry if a major city was destroyed in one bombing such as London or Berlin.)
Remember folks there was only one country that has used nuclear bombs to kill millions and that country is the United States of America.
The War Inc. model - 2 new players
China and Russia are both copying the War Inc. model from the United States. Both countries do not have any real threats (except from the United States, but as a game) with the exception of terrorism. Japan has no army and is not a threat to China. China has destroyed all the regional competitors and has no real major state enemy. Domestic politics may be a bigger threat to China than any foreign military (as China was once a chaotic, multi-state region). China is a little bit like the Soviet Union, but through the prism of their culture of course. The point is multi-ethnic super states usually collapse given enough time, as there are competing domestic interests at play. That is China's focus not to be a military power, their external show of force is to play the American game. America needs an enemy. The China 'copy and paste' model, a threat to the IP of US tech companies, is also at play with War Inc.
Russia MIC
Russia is an interesting case here. During the Soviet Union Russia was a defense oriented country that did little in foreign countries outside of the Iron Curtain. After decades of high quality propaganda, at a cost of tens of billions of dollars, Russia realized that if they wanted to be a major player in the world and participate in the new growing economic power center they needed to switch to Capitalism, which they did in 1991. This was a hard shift, it is difficult for those outside Communist countries to understand what it means to 'switch' from a state controlled economy to 'free market' economy. Russia's markets were so free in the 90s it led to massive growth by organized crime which was borderline legit business (they were like the Robber Baron's of the industrial age in USA). Basically Russia is 80 years behind the US, socially. Since 1991 Russia has taken all the advice given to them by their Western economic advisers. They have implemented a stock market, there are entrepreneurs in Russia starting businesses on a daily basis, they even have a Silicon Valley style incubator in Moscow Skolkovo (and others - see more info on starting a venture in Russia here). Russia has implemented many reforms in their plan to make Russia a market leader. They have a long way to go, their manufacturing standards have become a joke when Putin opened the door of a Russian car and the handle came off. But the world seems to forget that this was the 'Communist' country that the West sold on a better, capitalist life. One of the trimmings of a Capitalist society is War Inc. The partnership between Syria and Russia is a natural one; there are critical oil pipeline routes in Syria and Syria is a Christian foothold in a predominantly Muslim region. Russia didn't invent the War Inc. model however it is now operating it based on a business plan that was sent to them by Washington during the Cold War. It should come as no surprise that they are doing what they were convinced to do by Capitalist Generals in Washington. Billions upon billions were spent on Hollywood produced propaganda programs including films, radio (Air America), Television programs, news, and later internet campaigns. They are influenced by reports such as "What the bombing of Syria means for your 401k" and other reports. Russia is playing the role of War Inc. - a model copied directly from US interventions in Iraq and other places (Iraq is most similar). There is no real skin in the game for either country, Syria is just a proxy state to be used and abused for the war profiteers. This is the first time Russia is playing this role and it is playing it well. It wouldn't be surprising if Russian and US generals were exchanging encrypted communications on their competing computer game theory simulations while contemplating their next moves with each others open feedback.
Vacuum dirt analogy
Why are vacuum cleaning manufacturers honest and politicians are not? Because when you buy a vacuum, you immediately see how it works (the dirt and particles are caught in the transparent tank). If a vacuum didn't work or had poor suction it would be immediately apparent and people would return them or complain. Politicians control the information flow, especially during war, because they have power. This is especially true of government employees who are publicly elected. In private business there is a lot of oversight and ultimately you will fail or succeed, you can't lie to investors quarter after quarter.
Armchair Intellectuals and the Great American Hobby
Finally, there is this class in America not sure how to describe them, perhaps "Saturday Night War Experts" - they support any show of US force. They are mostly middle aged males with health issues, mostly on multiple prescriptions, they enjoy watching infographics explaining the differences between cruise missiles and smart bombs, right after their 5th glass of Merlot. This class isn't completely handicapped, but they choose to spend their free time sitting in Lazyboy chairs watching Fox News and other sources during wartime. When they're not tuned in, they enjoy to debate with their friends different methods how the US could use its arsenal to completely destroy Syria or "Make it GLASS" as I'm sure all readers have heard someone say once. This grotesque hobby is what gives those in DC power to enact such measures. You don't read headlines that Norway has unilaterally destroyed Sweden. In New Zealand for example there is a ban on Nuclear anything.
The info trade
During the last Iraq was there was an interesting correlation between US strikes, war actions and info, and the US Dollar. It was caused by speculators not real money flows. War is information and the markets live on information. All markets will be impacted by this war, it can even be a trading strategy by itself. Defense stocks will have a boost on successful missions. Key victories will lead to USD being bid up. It's a busy time and there's a lot happening. War traders must be tuned in 24/7 as the smallest bit of info that hasn't hit the wires yet can cause markets to move. Traders need to become information junkies.
Don't skip over the obvious facts that are staring us in the face. This is the beginning of World War 3 - but don't worry - it's good for the economy. Game on!
