ED Noor: I am posting a commentary to a reader by Arthur Topham as
an editorial opening. The uplift of Arthur’s words is almost as important as
are Mark’s deep insights to communicate the overall message of this post. Arthur
reminds us WHY we fight this fight, what is at stake, and upholds that beacon
of hope that we seem to be dropping with increasing frequency as time passes ~
heartening, strengthening, powerful words. I don’t know what well Arthur plumbs
for hope, but he goes deep ~ does a wonderful job spreading it when needed. Then
you have the magnificently poignant feature piece by Pastor Mark Dankof ~ a man
of rare experience and knowledge ~ one of the most sensitive, personal and
insightful assessments of our current international situation possible.
Personally, I feel it a great privilege to be in the company of such fine men
and righteous defenders of what is right. It is an honour to call each of them “friend”.

Arthur Topham: This is going to be a bit long. I posted
Mark's article for two reasons. The first was because of the calibre of it and
the position that Mark has taken with respect to America. I felt that it
conveyed what many people are feeling when they come
up against the disproportionate balance of apparent power that appears to have
engulfed not only the USA but ALL of the nations of the West including, in
seems, India and Australia and New Zealand. It does seem daunting and all
pervasive and all powerful.
But, of course, it isn't. Or, at least that is my take on it. Were it so, and I've been tracking this Beast for many a decade, I would have concluded (maybe) years ago that all was futile. But I haven't come to that conclusion and I'm highly doubtful that I ever shall. And that is the second reason for publishing Mark's article. I'm hopeful that it will generate the type of response that you've submitted and that it will spark a debate about this very topic.
We're not just facing just another enemy that's breached our defences via some stroke of luck. As I see it we are and have been in the throes of World War III since WWII concluded in 1945. The Jews knew full well at that time the massive victory that they'd achieved and it only spurred them on to further and greater and similar machinations that have never ceased and today they're so drunk with power that it's pretty well a sure bet that they won't stop until the world, collectively, stops them.
Douglas Reed laid most of the cards on the table by 1956 and predicted that if the world didn't get a grip on the Jews and on Zionism generally that by the end of the 20th century we'd all be in dire straits. Of course we didn't get a grip on the Jews throughout the latter half of the last century or at least until around the final decade of it. And so we are now only just coming of age so to speak and all hell is still to be let loose.

I
actually don't think it was humanly possible for people to become aware of the
threat that the Zionist Jews posed until the advent of the internet. They had
everything sown up prior to then in that they controlled the media. Now, of
course, it's a horse of a different colour and the net is ablaze with the fire
of Truth and each and every day more and more decent, truth-seeking and courageous
individuals are picking up a torch and raising it high in the air adding to the
overall light that's now breaking across and around the globe.
And so, given the fact that it's taken the Jews over 500 years to accomplish what they've accomplished, the mere span of 25 -30 years since the net has been functioning is really, and relatively, not that long especially when one considers just the past decade and the massive increase in awareness that's taken place.
It
truly has been phenomenal and unless the Jews are able to somehow figure out
how to censor the net, the heel of their hellish plans is about to give out and
they'll start to stumble and eventually fall and when they fall it will be a
global fall that will sweep away their ill-begotten power and influence
forever.
As I said they aren't about to stop. They've put all their eggs into one basket and labelled it the "New World Order" and they're going for it whether the world is ready for it or not.
There's
no turning back and because of that fact they're going to have to face a global
population of around 7 billion souls who, sooner or later, are going to become
very, very pissed with this elitist group of power-crazed maniacs and there'll
be no telling what they'll do when push comes to shove.
As a species and as free individuals we cannot give up. It's not in our cards to so do regardless of all the bullshit and power shows that are currently occurring around the world, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine.

The
human soul cannot grow and flourish under slavery and to give up and succumb to
the psychopathy that is the Zionist agenda would result in the stemming of the
tide of evolutionary expansion of both spirit consciousness and mind which is
something ordained by the Creator from the start and which cannot be altered by
mortal hands.
It's plainly evident that we are up against Satanic, demonic, blood-thirsty forces that are now in full attack mode on every plane of existence relevant to this planet. Our world is in jeopardy physically and our food, water and air are all being destroyed along with every other species that depends upon a clean, God-given, organic environment in which to flourish and prosper.

To allow these forces of darkness to gain full control means the end of evolutionary life on this planet as we've always know it. It ain't about to happen but it's going to take a lot of blood, sweat and tears and endless courage, self-sacrifice and will-power to regain what's been stolen from us by stealth and deception.The native tribes of North America always planned ahead for at least 7 generations but from my perspective, given the state of the world today, we plainly don't have seven generations left if we don't begin to take the Zionist bull by the horns and put it back in the corral and lock the gate.
Mark Dankof, from what he's told us in his superlative article, has exhausted his options after years of being in the front lines. It's a daunting place to be given all the underhanded tactics that the lunatics pull. Maybe it's time for a sabbatical and a return to Spirit. There's no doubt that Mark has put in his time and deserves to take a break and recharge his batteries if he feels the need to do so.
.
We
all get overloaded at times and with the increase in madness that we're witnessing
everywhere it's only that much more challenging to keep returning to the
trenches day after day after day. I know that Mark will be with us and
supportive of those who will step up to bat while he's away.

AMERICA
THE BEAUTIFUL: WHY WE’RE FINISHED BY MARK DANKOF
Mark Dankoff: I have been receiving a lot of mail from folks asking why I've taken a mild leave of absence from broadcasting and writing op-ed pieces for The Ugly Truth. I will appear from time to time, but on a more limited basis, both with The Ugly Truth and Press TV. I've been reassessing what good I'm actually doing, given the seemingly inexorable and disastrous direction the American Empire has embarked upon, and what seems like the absolute passivity and indifference of the American public to their own fate in all of this, not to mention the world. In more recent times, I've been working on theological articles while preparing to resume my thesis for my last degree along with some theological German study. I'm also job hunting to supplement my income as I assess the future. The bottom line is this: The title of this piece tells you what I've concluded about the country and the American people. It isn't a happy endgame. What appears below are my latest thoughts at the present time.
.
As he was
preparing to leave office in 1961, President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned that
“America must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence…by the
military-industrial complex.” Borrowing the title from the Frank Capra
Defense Department propaganda films of World War II, documentary film maker
Eugene Jarecki chronicled the Eisenhower warning in Why We Fight, a
production that would win the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film
Festival.
.
.
I vaguely remember Eisenhower. What I didn’t know as a little boy in the
summer of 1960 when my family piled into my Dad’s new white Plymouth
Station Wagon to depart Alexandria, Virginia for McClellan Air Force Base in
Sacramento, was the fact that Dad was working for the Air Force Technical
Applications Center (AFTAC), the intelligence organization created by
Eisenhower to work with the CIA and the AEC in monitoring Soviet nuclear tests,
explosions, and missile sites around the world.
.
.
I did not know that my father was acquainted with Eisenhower,
Curtis LeMay, Paul Tibbets of the Enola Gay, and many other storied names of
the Second World War and the Cold War that followed. I would learn a
number of things about Dad in the decades that followed. There are many
other things I never learned, even as he was losing both coherence and
consciousness in the final days of his life in San Antonio in May of 2009.
Allen Dulles was correct. There are some things that remain secret
“from inception to eternity.”

In 1961, as a denizen of kindergarten at the Arthur S. Dudley Elementary School on an American Air Force reservation in Sacramento, I also had no idea that my father would also become acquainted with President Kennedy. All I knew was that Kennedy was the most handsome and dynamic man I’d ever seen on TV, with the most beautiful wife to match. With Kennedy in office, watching Arnold Palmer on TV winning the British Open, making many trips to San Francisco’s Candlestick Park to see Willie Mays in his prime, and trekking to old Kezar Stadium to watch the football 49ers, my idyllic childhood on the West Coast was wedded to an America filled with hope, youth, and limitless future.
Mythology and visual images seemed to correspond with reality. The realities of what Seymour Hersh would reveal in his 1996 chronicle of the Kennedy years entitled “The Dark Side of Camelot,” did not correspond to my universe as a kid in the America of the early 1960s.
.
Bob
Greene of the Chicago Tribune would observe in 1984 that there was a day in
Dallas, Texas that would “divide the hemispheres of our lives” for those old
enough to remember. When Jack Kennedy was gunned down in Dealey Plaza on
November 22nd, 1963, I was serving a one year sentence in a 3rd grade class at
Floyd Elementary School in Montgomery, Alabama during my Dad’s stint at the Air
War College at Maxwell Air Force Base.
On that fateful Friday afternoon, American Mythology was slain with high powered rifle bullets coming from multiple guns and locations.
The
visual images of horror emanating from Texas became a precursor of tragedies
future. Hope, youth, and limitless future were buried in Arlington
National Cemetery. Despair, the ravages of time and aging, and a future
lost in the long-departed past, became the defining elements of the second
hemisphere of life in ongoing attempts to recover the unrecoverable in time and
space. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross would later teach me that denial is the
first stage in the process of experiencing death.
I knew there was something wrong with the official story on the Kennedy death from the outset. I had witnessed the Jack Ruby, a. k. a. Jack Rubenstein, slaying of Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV in my parents’ living room in Alabama. What I did not know was the magnitude of the significance of what I’d seen. What I did know half a century ago was that the idyllic days of my earlier childhood were as dead as the 35th President of the United States. I would end up spending decades reading thousands of pages and talking to people who claimed to know something. One of them was a private chat in May of 2001 with the retired Kennedy autopsy photographer and X-Ray technician then living in secluded retirement in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
.
Ironically enough, it was right after 9-11 that Michael Collins Piper would tie
together many of the loose ends of my own research on Dealey Plaza for me.
The significance of Final Judgment was not simply the best and
presumably last word on the ultimate players in the events of Dallas, but the
way in which the demise of Jack Kennedy in my childhood became a pivotal event
in understanding the process of the demythologization of American history and
foreign policy in my critical re-examination of what had preceded it and
what would follow. Piper’s magnum opus would years later join my own presentation on the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor for the 2013 National Conference of the
American Free Press in Austin, and my discussion of 9-11 for Kourosh
Ziabari and the Fars News Agency of Iran, as prime exhibits in understanding
the real Directors of the American Empire, their endgame, and the corresponding
death of the Old American Republic, the Constitution of the United States, and
any true sense of what the national purpose and destiny of a free American
people should really be.

My personal odyssey in all of this began in the fall of 1963 as a child. It would accelerate at the speed of light after September 11th, 2001. In these last dozen years, I’ve put my completion of my last graduate degree on hold, and my own career and economic prospects at extreme risk, by joining people like Piper, Mark Glenn, Merlin Miller, Adrian Krieg, Philip Giraldi, Paul Craig Roberts, Tony Cartalucci, and Pepe Escobar in what is known today as Alternative Media. My stints at the Republic Broadcasting Network and the American Free Press have been augmented in recent years by a working relationship with Press TV/Iran, and in more recent times by some brief segments with Voice of Russia.
.
And
to what ultimate end or purpose? For if the truth be known, if I could
now do one film documentary of my own under the direction of film producer
Eugene Jarecki, it would be entitled “Why
We’re Finished.” For this is precisely what I have come to believe
after the passage of all these many years.
.
My conclusion is based on what should be inherently obvious. The United States Government, its National Security Establishment, and its Corporate News Media are in the service of a political elite devoted to a New World Order under the control of International Bankers, Globalists, and Zionists.

The result is an overextended Empire militarily and economically.
We are awash in a national debt of $17.6
trillion and counting, even as the estimated $5-7 trillion that will be
borrowed and spent on the ill-fated and falsely premised Iraq and Afghanistan
expeditions continues to mount, while deliberately manufactured reasons to
intervene militarily in Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine are bundled in packaged lies
by CNN and Fox News for the consumption of the brain dead on a nightly basis.

It is obvious that Israel is the driving force behind
these policies, even as its domestic American lobby continues its ownership of the
American government. The published annual figures of the Washington
Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) tell the tale of the tape.
.
.
Concurrently, the fiat money policies of the Federal Reserve Board continue apace, even as the manufacturing sector of the American economy continues to be exported abroad. Fractional Reserve Banking is the ongoing order of the day for a fraudulent and evil financial system, along with credit-default swaps and derivatives. The corrosive metastasis of the social and moral agenda of the Frankfurt School’s Institute of Social Research in the United States in the last 50 years seems beyond repair. I agree with Pat Buchanan that the Western World generally and the United States specifically, will be dead by 2025.
.
The cancer is terminal. Stage 5 has arrived. There
is no political solution that people like me can turn to for hope in another
day, another time yet future.

The folks who control the money supply have purchased our
Government, our Media, and our Educational Institutions.

An American Police State
has come of age since September 11th, 2001, with the advance of the USA Patriot
Acts, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA), the warrantless surveillance of the National Security Agency (NSA),
and the advent of a militarized domestic police force in our major cities and
communities commensurate with the termination of Posse Comitatus laws which
once prevented the Armed Forces and Federal Government of the United States
from usurping the powers lawfully designated to the states and their
localities.
It is a fatal mistake with recent developments in Ferguson, Missouri to assume that the sole and primary targets of this Police State are either African Americans or Americans of Islamic faith.
The Missouri Information Action Report (MIAC) of
2008 reveals a partnership between the Israelified Department of Homeland
Security, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith (ADL), the
Southern Poverty Law Center, and the police departments of the American states
and cities to target white males who oppose the New World Order, abortion, and
gay marriage while voting for candidates like Ron Paul and Pat
Buchanan, as potential militia members and terrorists.

This is the true role of the hireling John Hagee of San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church and his Christians United for Israel (CUFI) organization, to sell genocidal wars with a racially supremacist and globalist agenda wrapped in the American Flag and the Christian Cross. The diabolical genius of this is that neither the true national American interest or the Kingdom of God in Christ has a thing to do with Fiat Money, Fractional Reserve Banking, or the Talmudic Racial Supremacist Land Thievery of Netanyahu and Company.

But
the Giraldi piece on Fascism in America
this week shows how the pro-Zionist Christian Right in the United States
provides much of the glue which holds this burgeoning tragedy in perpetual
place, even as a national judgment upon this country by the Biblical God is
unfolding. The Chris Kyles of
The Realm are the triggermen. The Marquis J. McCantses
of The Realm are the benevolent and unsuspecting cannon fodder.

.
The final straws would seem to be the
American, Israeli, and EU sponsored coup in Kiev, Ukraine, and the
Neo-Conservative cry for an American military intervention in Syria and Iraq to
combat an ISIS organization which is a specific creation of the United States,
Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the GCC states for just this very purpose.
.
.
In the case of Ukraine, the taped conversation of American
Undersecretary of State, Victoria Nuland (the wife
of Neo-Conservative/Zionist zealot Robert Kagan), and the
American Ambassador to the Ukraine, reveals the plot which overthrew that
country’s legitimately elected government as part of the ongoing and irresponsible
encirclement policy of Putin’s Russia by NATO.
.
.
This policy is not merely the official breaking of the promises
made by Republican Presidents to Gorbachev and Yeltsin that the United States
would not recruit former Eastern Bloc countries for NATO membership or as hosts
of NATO military hardware moved closer to Russian borders.
.
.
It has recklessly placed the United States in the position of
being in a potential military showdown with a
nuclear power, even as the American government supports an illegitimate
government in Kiev and Ukraine peppered with Dual Israeli Citizen Oligarchs and
EU-Affiliated Bankers. The atrocities against Russian ethnics in Eastern
Ukraine culminating in the fiery murders which resulted from the Odessa Trade Union torching at the
hands of thugs controlled by the installed government, is now
matched by the shootdown of Malaysian Airlines MH17.
.
.
The American government and media began weaving and spinning the
myth that Russia and the pro-Russian rebels of Eastern Ukraine were responsible
for this atrocity. It proved as false as the phony accusation that Assad
of Syria had used nerve gas against his opponents in Ghouta. The evidence
there pointed once more in the opposite direction.
.
.
In
the case of the manufactured hysteria over the operations of ISIS in Syria and
Iraq, Tony Cartalucci
of Land Destroyer lays out the ultimate endgame of the United States and
Israel:
the removal of President Assad of Syria as a precursor to a preemptive war with Iran to satisfy both Netanyahu and the House of Saud in Saudi Arabia.
In
Iraq, the demise of the al-Maliki regime with one more amenable to an ongoing
American military presence in that country in perpetuity, has already been
achieved.

Which brings me back to the foundational premise of this article entitled “Why We’re Finished”:
The American Empire, wedded to Zionism and a World Government empowered by Globalist Banking and Multinational Corporations, is the chief enabler of evil on this planet. It is the chief adversary of peace abroad, even as it serves as the chief adversary of its own people.
The
American Military is the armed Janissary force of this Beast. It exists
solely for this purpose, and is as much a chief threat to the Bill of Rights of
the Constitution of the United States as it is to the people of Russia,
Ukraine, Syria, Iran, Palestine, and elsewhere.

American National Security State has used Islamophobia and Russophobia to

This is Why We’re Finished. For those who have recently inquired, I’m presently reassessing how and when I continue in broadcasting, news analysis, and op-ed commentary. If I do at all. At the present time, I question my own effectiveness in the environment in which I operate, for a constituency whose vibrancy is a relic of a long forgotten past in the midst of a people with terminal amnesia and calcified indifference.
