When I first arrived in New York City in early 1985 as an ambitious young 25 year old Brit I was stunned to see advertisements on billboards mentioning the word IRA which, in the UK was the Irish Republican Army and was designated a terrorist organization at the time.

One man’s terrorist may indeed be another man’s “freedom fighter,” but a big percentage of the IRA’s funding came from sympathizers in the USA; I was somewhat confused until I realized that an IRA was an Individual Retirement Account instead of the Irish Republican Army.

It was simply one of those little cultural misunderstandings and, I believe we have seen more inter-cultural misunderstandings recently which have been covered up to protect the U.S. Armed Forces DSP (Dyslexic Strategic Planner).

According to Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser, the commander of U.S. Southern Command at the military strategy forum at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on 29th July 2010, “Illegal trafficking remains the biggest challenge for U.S. military forces in Central and South America as they work to balance such nontraditional challenges with the constant threat of natural disasters there…”

“The general said he sees no threat of conventional warfare in Central and South America, either toward the United States or within its own nations.” Yet “The Tolemaida military base is one of seven Colombian bases to which the U.S. military has been granted access for 10 years under the U.S.-Colombia Defense Cooperation Agreement, which was signed in October 2009. The agreement has been met with opposition by Colombian and international human rights groups. It caused tensions in the region after a U.S. Air Force document became public that revealed that the United States military is planning to use the seven Colombian bases for “full spectrum operations throughout South America” against threats not only from drug trade and guerrilla movements, but also from “anti-U.S. governments” in the region.

But as you can see from the images here, throughout this U.S. Air Force document they refer to Columbia more than Colombia and, based on the fact that the District of Columbia has a murder rate of 31.4 per 100,000 people – one of the highest in the US – and way more impressive than anything Costa Rica can come up with, maybe the U.S. military had planned to invade Columbia and not Colombia but, the DSP (Dyslexic Strategic Planner) screwed up!

Come to think of it, that’s probably where we went wrong in Pakistan. Instead of attacking and killing another 47 dangerous people travelling to a wedding in Afghanistan, the DSP (Dyslexic Strategic Planner) got all confused and seeing so many countries that end in “…… stan“, he picked the one he could pronounce – Pakistan!

Pakistan is certainly easier to spell and say than Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrghyzstan and Turkmenistan!

In his speech Air Force Gen. Douglas Fraser also said that the United States has a “great and enduring relationship” with Latin America and he’s right! We have a long history of US interventions in Latin America which have helped kill hundreds of thousands of people including:




Argentina in 1890, Chile in 1891, Haiti in 1891, Nicaragua in 1894, Panama in 1895, Nicaragua (again) in 1896, Cuba in 1898, Puerto Rico in 1898, Nicaragua (again) in 1898, Nicaragua (again) in 1899, Honduras in 1903, Dominican Republic in 1903-04, Cuba (again) in 1906-09, Nicaragua (again) in 1907, Honduras (again) in 1907, Panama (again) in 1908, Nicaragua (again) in 1910, Honduras (again) in 1911, Cuba (again) in 1912, Panama (again) in 1912, Honduras (again) in 1912, Nicaragua (again) in 1912-33, Mexico 1913, Dominican Republic (again) in 1914, Mexico (again) in 1914-18, Haiti (again) in 1914-34, Dominican Republic (again) in 1916-24, Cuba (again) in 1917-33, Panama (again) in 1918-20, Honduras (again) in 1919, Guatemala in 1920, Costa Rica in 1921, Panama (again) in 1921, Honduras (again) in 1924-25, Panama (again) in 1925, El Salvador in 1932, Uruguay in 1947, Puerto Rico in 1950, Guatemala (again) in 1954, Panama (again) in 1958, Cuba (again) in 1961, Cuba (again) in 1962, Panama (again) in 1964, Dominican Republic (again) in 1965-66, Guatemala (again) in 1966-67, Chile in 1973, El Salvador (again) in 1981-92, Nicaragua (again) in 1981-90, Honduras (again) in 1982-90, Grenada in 1983-84, Bolivia in 1987, Panama (again) in 1989, Haiti (again) in 1994-95, Venezuela in 2002 and Haiti (again) in 2004




But hey! Who’s counting?




While nearly all the news we see focuses on the humanitarian aspect of this ship, we should remember that the “USS Iwo Jima and her sister ships are the first to be specifically-designed to accommodate the new class of landing craft – the Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) for over-the-beach landing craft duty. Also on board the Marines fly the Harrier II (AV-8B), the vertical short take-off and landing (V/STOL) jets that provide close-air support for the advancing assault forces. To carry out its primary mission, the Iwo Jima also has an assault support system that provides troop landings by sea and/or by helicopters, even including the new and highly-advanced MV-22 Osprey VTOL tilt rotor aircraft.”









Sending 12 x CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters, 4 x CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters, 6 x AV-8B Harrier attack aircraft, 3 x UH-1N Huey multi-role helicopters, 4 x AH-1Z Cobra “Viper” attack helicopters, 4 x MV-22 Osprey VTOL tilt-rotor transport helicopters plus 2 x 16-cell Sea Sparrow anti-aircraft missile launchers, 2 x 21 Rolling Airframe Missile Systems surface-to-air missile systems, 3 x Vulcan Phalanx 20mm Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), 2 x 25mm Mk 38 cannons and 6 x 12.7mm (.50 caliber) machine guns into the waters off the coast of Costa Rica to fight “illegal trafficking” is excessive, but with that kind of firepower we can certainly expect some fast, really impressive results, right?



And the fact that the US Marines are the “first to fight” should really help with the “humanitarian” missions here too.




But maybe that’s what happened in Iraq too? After all, Iraq and Iran may be two completely different countries, neither of which have ever seriously threatened the USA or the UK, but their countries both begin with the letters IRA.. so maybe the map had been folded badly and instead of seeing IRAQ or IRAN, the DSP (Dyslexic Strategic Planner) only saw IRA.. and assumed that was the target.

Widespread poverty and disproportionate wealth drive crime and corruption, Fraser said, leading to multibillion-dollar trafficking networks adept at changing routes and tactics. For example, he said, the United States has worked with Colombian authorities to confront drug traffickers. However, he added, the criminals have moved their operations to other areas, such as north to Mexico or through the southeast waterways to Africa.

“As we’ve had success in Colombia, they’ve gone to other places,” Fraser said. “We need to continue to keep pressing on all sides of the balloon.”

Unfortunately they were 50% less successful this year than last year with drug seizures so can we assume that he’s pressed “on all sides of the balloon” too hard?

“Southcom has disrupted or obtained about 100 metric tons of cocaine so far this year” Fraser said. (Half of what was seized compared to this time last year). “We don’t know why,” he said. “There are changes going on in the trafficking world, and we’re trying to catch up…”

Urban gangs are plentiful in Southcom’s area of responsibility, Fraser said, and there is evidence of financial support there for Middle Eastern-based terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas that have taken root in Central America.

Another Bloody False Flag Operation

On the 18th August 2010 in an article entitled ‘Iran’s secret pipeline into the U.S.’ Some intelligence officials are speculating that Iranian agents are flying into Caracas, Venezuela and they ask: “Would the agents that come into Venezuela be able to find their way to the United States? That’s certainly possible.”

“Current and former U.S. intelligence official fear the flight is a shadowy way to move people and weapons to locations in Latin America that can be used as staging points for retaliatory attacks against the U.S. or its interests in the event Iranian nuclear sites are struck by U.S. or Israeli military forces.”

There are also unconfirmed stories which allege that on the return flights to Tehran the plane’s cargo includes uranium for Iran’s nuclear weapons, even though “it remains the consensus opinion of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies that Iran does not have an active nuclear weapons program, and indeed suspended whatever program it may have had more than five years ago.”

As Paul Craig Roberts Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration and Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal so eloquently said: “Would a government that has lied us into two wars and is working to lie us into an attack on Iran shrink from staging “terrorist” attacks in order to remove opposition to its agenda?”

This too has all the tell tale signs of yet another false flag operation with the Zionist extremist’s tail wagging the US dog into yet another bloody conflict in Iran and Venezuela.

We can only hope that one day soon these extremists will stop lying to us and deceiving us – and also stop deceiving their own Jewish people around the world – so that we can begin to rebuild relationships with the people we have been told are our enemies when in fact they are not our enemies at all.

At the same time that Southcom is working such nontraditional challenges, it also has to stay prepared to deal with Mother Nature, Fraser said.

“I was not expecting to respond to an earthquake in Haiti,” he said, referring to the Jan. 12 earthquake that devastated the Port-au-Prince area and caused 22,000 U.S. service members to deploy there through June for relief operations. And we did such a great job there too… ”

Well maybe not such a great job… The United States pledged $1.15 billion. It has paid nothing, with the money tied up in the congressional appropriations process.”

“I don’t know what next crisis will be,” Fraser said. “We have to remain prepared.”

Although we can be assured that he will probably will know long before we do, you know like they did in New York City on 9/11 when the BBC was caught red-handed reporting that the WTC building #7 had already collapsed, when it was in fact still standing in the background behind the reporter as she was saying it had already fallen…

Yeah! Go on! Tell me it’s a “conspiracy theory”!

Never-ending, unprovoked and unnecessary wars that bankrupt our nations and destroy the lives of tens of thousands of our young people is not a path to peace, peace is the path.

So, we probably shouldn’t worry about 46 Warships Plus 7,000 US Marines On Route to Costa Rica – it could be another “misunderstanding.”
