OP- I appreciate you taking the time to discuss this essential topic in both a simplistic and thought provoking approach! You have provided intelligent and sensible information here that people need to know about & I commend you for that.

In my opinion, of the true smoking guns regarding your discussion of the Middle East post 9/11 lies in the establishment of the Rothschild banking systems there. Nearly every country in this part of the world now has a westernized banking system developed by the Rothschild clan, except of course, Iran. The Ancient Greek writer Hypereides sort of touched upon the concept of a "money trail" to determine the correlation of government policy and the flow of money. He described "an environment in which influence peddling conducive to the well-being of the polis was allowed to flourish." Obviously the development of the Rothschild banking systems in these countries over the past few years subtly confirm who's behind all the events there.

Someone in this thread mentioned "all the failed false flags" occurring these days. I actually disagree. I think the false flag events are becoming more ingenious and methodical, and significant to the plans & goals of TPTB. People are waking up (finally!) and starting to connect the dots and of course TPTB know this. Yes, it appears that these crazy false flags are becoming easier to solve, research, and debunk, but purposefully so! If TPTB control nearly everything on this planet, then they are certainly behind the awakening of the masses in a systematic, meticulous, and controlled approach. This is all to prepare for the establishment of a globalized civilization under one government, of course.

Also so many people confuse TPTB with whole governments/the illuminati, thanks to the influence of clever propaganda. It's important to realize that TPTB are hidden in plain sight and only a few of these agents have infiltrated government/corporate positions. This is why I have a hard time blaming Obama for everything going on today because chances are, he's even more brainwashed than the sheeple inhabiting this country today.

Thanks again for your posts and I will continue to follow this thread actively!
