Obama's secret order to aid Syrian rebels
From: Brasscheck TV <news@brasschecktv.com>
That President Obama had signed a
'secret' order directing the CIA to aid
the Syrian rebels is now public.
This reminds me of Jimmy Carter's
'secret' order of July 3rd 1979, which
directed the CIA to aid the Afghan
Mujahideen.
THAT led to the creation of the Taliban
and Al Qaeda.
What will this lead to?

Adele, not good news, yet not too surprising....sadly. I posted somewhere on this Forum the full text [that part which is public and not classified] of the order. Somewhere, many decades ago, the Constitutional provision that only the Congress [both houses] can declare war was conveniently bypassed by the Executive - and has been ignored since. Once or twice they have been asked to approve a fait accompli, but never to 'declare war' which is now done by the President and his advisors/sponsors/owners. Our system is fatally flawed now. The President can issue these secret orders and also when given a piece of legislation secretly change it [or honor only a part of it] with a secret 'finding'. In secret and in an unaccountable and undemocratic form most everything is decided for us Plebs now....from war to how we will be fleeced and spied upon - even how we will be terrorized. The situation is critical and IMO the system is about to implode or explode....about to collapse....with nothing but bad consequences for the average person in and out of the USA. Many have compared it to the way Rome fell and find the same factors are at play, with a modern twist. After Rome came the Dark Ages...and one wonders what will follow the collapse of Imperialistic America. While the 'original' Dark Ages were followed by a Renaissance, I have a bad feeling about something similar this time UNLESS we stop the collapse into neo-fascism and authoritarian rule, and restructure the whole ball of wax - fast!! We are at a crossroads in history and certainly the crucial one for America, if not the whole World! The USA has IMHO become much less democratic [never was very] and almost all now is top-down; with almost no bottom-up political life left...only a smidgen. The streets and the Internet [until they shut it down] really are our main means of being heard now. Voting seems to do little. The candidates are pre-selected; other parties can not really run; elections are even 'fudged' or decided in the Supreme Court by a few hired hands; Corporate money is allowed to spend whatever to spew propaganda for or against a candidate or issue. What a mess. Meanwhile we are killing people all over for oil and other resources [and a bit of Imperialistic hubris]. The New Rome. No better than the Old one.
