Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, and Libya are in shambles, crushed by the heavy boots of Western imperialism. But we are told to fear China. The entire nations of Indochina were bombed back to the stone age, because Western demi-gods would not tolerate, and felt they did not have to, tolerate, what some yellow un-people in Asia were really longing for. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos – millions of tons of bombs dropped on them from strategic B-52’s, from dive-bombers, and from jet fighters.

For years activists and researchers have been predicting that the ruling class would begin coming out of the shadows when the world was on the verge of economic collapse, to offer the preplanned solution to the problem that they themselves created. Interestingly enough, in the past week two different members of the Rothschild family have come forward in rare media appearances and editorials to give their comments on the global financial crisis and its implications. They have not yet announced the establishment of a one world currency or massive tax hikes yet, but that’s what many are expecting. Right now though, it seems as if they are just getting warmed up to the media and setting the tone for future political action. Just afew days ago I reported on an interview that Sir Evelyn de Rothschild had with a well established British news source.
