The January 09 Crisis - mere speculation.

Back in October Colin Powell went on air to endorse Barack Obama as President. During the interview he said something really odd. Now, politicians say odd things all the time, but this was odder than most.

Watch this clip here.



So - a crisis on the 21st or 22nd of January. Hmmm. Obama gets sworn in as President on the 20th. Sounds quite similar to a statement made by VP-elect Joe Biden on the same day, apparently. Watch the clip here.



It's not that a crisis is something odd. We're probably in the midst of about two dozen of them at the moment. But what is odd is that these guys seem to know something is going to happen already. And the very nature of Colin Powell's statement "a crisis that we don't even know about yet". Well, by we did he really mean you? Or is he just guessing?

I'm going to assume they do know something and they are talking about the same thing.

So, what might that crisis be? Let's look at the evidence. Well, according to Joe Biden, said crisis which is going to force some tough policy decisions. i.e. things the public aren't going to like. Now that could be anything from tax hikes, food rationing, enforced car pooling, confiscation of private property, a new war, abolition of the dollar, open borders, dissolution of Congress or even martial law. Maybe more than one of the above. But Biden specifically mentions foreign policy and an international crisis of the same kind Kennedy faced.

Kennedy's major international crisis was the Cuban missile standoff. His other international crisis was the Vietnam war but there the friction was really domestic. In Cuba finally the Soviets stood down and world war 3 was postponed, by a whisker. Could a similar scenario transpire on the modern world stage? China to invade Taiwan? Russia to reclaim the Caucasus? Russian missiles to be placed in Venezuela? Perhaps an act of terror with no clear perpetrator a la 9/11? North Korea "gone rogue"? Iranian nuclear bomb threat uncovered in Jerusalem?

The scenarios are actually limitless and almost impossible to consider completely. They do fit into two categories however. On one hand, unilateral power plays by foreign powers. Clear, unambiguous action by a US rival towards an ally or towards US interests. The other category would be of a terrorist nature, a la "al-Qaeda". No nation involved.

The first case is possible, if not improbable. The theory is a "rogue state" (Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, etc. by Bush's definitions) may wait for the arrival of a "soft" president rather than play its hand against a man with nothing left to lose (Bush) and clearly has no compunction about invading foreign countries. That's the only justification I can find for the first case, otherwise there would be absolutely no predicting it. But Joe Biden and Colin Powell know about it already so presumably the whole government know about it already. Why not act now? Here my speculation reaches the buffers.

What about the second case? The beauty of terrorist attacks is that they can be blamed on anyone, no proof required and we will believe. Another 9/11? A 1/21 or 1/22? Without declaring who was really behind 9/11 (because we still don't know for sure), there have been groups that benefitted from it. Like they say in criminal investigations - follow the money: Israel, big business (Halliburton, Monsanto, Texaco, etc. etc.) and the military. Further symptoms have been a crackdown on civil liberties across the "free" world. If a secretive cabal of politicking bankers and chairmen do indeed want total power via a global police state, 9/11 advanced their cause no end.

This last notion is not far-fetched. In fact it is the stated aim of certain rather powerful figures. I am going to speculate that another 9/11-type incident is what is going to happen some time soon. I am going to speculate that the people to benefit from it will be the same as those that benefited from 9/11. Also, I will speculate that one of its side effects will be more erosion of civil liberties. Such an incident requires a target, and a perpetrator.

So what about a target?



PD51/HSPD20 (passed by Bush) would give President Obama dictatorial power in the event of any national emergency. However I doubt the public are going to buy it if it is a flu outbreak. It would have to be something pretty big to convince the masses this is a good idea. The Washington Post article mentions an decapitating attack on government by a foreign power as a possible scenario.

Congress? The idea of Congress as a "terrorist" target is superb as it achieves the double objective of horrifying the public whilst at the same time destroying the democratic legislature of the country. Virtually any action could be justified as a response and President Obama would have all the authority to carry it out.

So what about the perpetrator, or rather alleged perpetrator, even "fall guy". Well again, a little speculation but not too far-fetched.

Watch the clip here.



Something very reminiscent of the Colin Powell and Joe Biden interviews in this one. Well, if what Aaron Russo is saying is true, there remains one target unaccounted for in this alleged plot. Venezuela. What if an attack on Congress could be pinned on Venezuela? Wouldn't it be right for Obama to strike south and invade? Venezuela has a lot of oil. Enter the military machine, then Halliburton, Monsanto, Texaco et al...

With Congress crippled and the American people hysterical, martial law could then be declared. But Obama has been painted as such a "nice guy" that the people will accept it. Enter new draconian laws to remove remaining civil liberties.

And who could believe their leaders could do the same thing twice? As Himmler said, the people will much more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one.

Finally I want to add into the picture a couple more ingredients. Namely, that US military personnel are conducting exercises in crowd control, disarmament and apprehension of civilians on American streets, something that is entirely unconstitutional. Additionally, there are reports of many concentration camps constructed, or under construction in the USA. Whatever this crisis turns out to be, they are preparing for something.

So here you have it. Pure speculation. We'll see...
