This second installment of the New World Order series on The Boiling Frogs welcomes F. William Engdahl, freelance journalist, historian, and economic researcher. His main field of expertise lies in geopolitics, and with more specific activities such as the oil industry, drug trade, etc. Mister Engdahl comments extensively in this podcast on the « Arab Spring » and passes into review geopolitical hotspots such as Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Xinjiang Province, Afghanistan, Libya and others. William Engdahl touches on other dimensions such as the concept of « Full Spectrum Dominance » put forward by the Department of Defense of the U.S., the three things that an empire has to control in order to master the world (oil, food and money), population reduction plans manufactured by the ruling elite and the twisted concept of « totalitarian democracy ». Great interview.

FTR #337: Protocols of the Elders of Oil
Dave Emory’s FTR #337 continues the ongoing analysis of the 9/11 blitzkrieg that began in FTR #325 and forward. Among the many highlights of the show, we find Silvan Becker, a Verfassungsschutz Agent that was killed in Libya; the mention of a few publications that place Saudi oil in the midst of a political intrigue that prevented investigators and FBI agents to properly do their job in the 9/11 case; the project leaded by Unocal and negociated with the Taliban to have a pipeline bringing oil from the Caspian Sea; that Osama bin Laden was seeking to replace the House of Saud as the prime example of Wahhabism and that the Saudi chief of intelligence, Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz, was his mentor; that Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia warned George W. Bush that U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was considered unacceptable. The show also presents other relevant elements, such as the role played by the Carlyle Group.
Wireless Tesla Transponder, by Prof. Dr. Konstantin Meyl
Here is a scientific paper presented by Professor Dr. Konstantin Meyl on Tesla technology, titled « Wireless Tesla Transponder. Field-physical basis for electrically coupled bidirectional far range transponders according to the invention of Nikola Tesla », submitted to the Faculty of Computer and Electrical Engineering at Furtwangen University in Germany. I don’t have the scientific basis to appreciate such a work but it definitely looks thorough, professional, solid and relevant.
Le SCRS, Philippe Couillard et l’Arabie saoudite: Lorsque le « Who’s who » devient plutôt le « Who does what? »
Encore une autre histoire abracadabrante dans le monde du renseignement. La dernière en date concerne l’ancien Ministre de la Santé du Québec, Philippe Couillard, maintenant membre du Comité de surveillance des activités de renseignement de sécurité du Canada, un organisme fédéral chargé de surveiller le travail des agents de renseignement canadiens. Or, Monsieur Couillard occupe aussi les fonctions, simultanément, de conseiller auprès du gouvernement saoudien en matière de santé. C’est un conflit d’intérêts majeur et la nouvelle en inquiète plusieurs depuis que la journaliste du National Post, Kathryn Blaze Carlson, l’a portée à l’attention du public dans un récent article. Je joins deux articles du site web Pointdebascule.ca présentant tous les détails de l’affaire, ainsi qu’une entrevue avec l’ancien directeur du SCRS, Michel Juneau-Katsuya, sur les ondes de Benoit Dutrizac du 98,5 FM.
Mon commentaire peut se résumer à ceci: Je suis inquiet. J’ai l’impression qu’il n’y a pas de pilote dans l’avion. Auparavant, je croyais que c’était seulement au Québec qu’il n’y en avait pas, mais on dirait que c’est également le cas au Canada. Vous vous souvenez que la plupart des pilotes, si je peux me permettre le jeu de mots, qui ont perpétrer les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 détenaient des passeports de l’Arabie Saoudite. Alors qu’est-ce qui empêche l’Arabie Saoudite, par l’entremise de Philippe Couillard, de contrôler les activités de renseignement au Canada? L’Arabie Saoudite a joué un rôle central dans les attentats du 11 septembre. Voir mes articles précédents sur le sujet:
Richard Clarke and the Underground Reich
Les articles de Pointdebascule.ca, dirigé par Marc Lebuis, mentionnent aussi la compétition existant entre le Canada et l’Arabie Saoudite dans le secteur de l’exportation du pétrole. Mais, au fond, cet élément est plutôt secondaire si l’on réalise qu’il s’agit en fait de la sécurité du pays lui-même et de la vie de 30 millions d’habitants qui est en jeu. Cela vous dit d’avoir à assumer les conséquences d’un autre 11 septembre sur le territoire canadien? Pas moi. Michel Juneau-Katsuya a raison lorsqu’il dit que l’on en fume du bon dans l’entourage du Premier Ministre Harper. Il a fait toute sorte de nominations dans le secteur des renseignements qui sont pour le moins étonnantes et celle de Philippe Couillard, en plus de ne pas être basée sur les compétences, est carrément dangereuse pour ne pas dire irresponsable. Si on met un loup en charge de la bergerie, il ne faut pas se surprendre ensuite qu’il ne reste plus de moutons. Car, avec la présence de Philippe Couillard sur ce comité de surveillance du travail des agents de renseignements, c’est exactement ce qu’on a. Le loup de l’Arabie Saoudite, de par les pressions, chantage, menaces, blackmail, qu’il peut exercer sur Philippe Couillard, a maintenant la porte grande ouverte pour s’attaquer aux moutons canadiens. Jean-Baptiste, le Saint Patron des Québécois, a de quoi être fier: il peut désormais ajouter les Canadiens-Anglais à son cheptel, grâce à l’incompétence crasse en matière de renseignement qui caractérise ce pays depuis qu’il est officiellement « indépendant » de la Couronne britannique… Sur un ton plus humoristique, je vous offre également la dernière chronique de Normand Lester sur les ondes du 98,5 FM. Il paraît que des agents de la CIA ont organisé une rencontre avec des informateurs au Liban…dans un Pizza Hut. Décidément, rien de va plus dans le monde du renseignement.

Deux exemples du conflit d’intérêts Canada-Arabie Saoudite
Saudi Arabia and SunNews Network: Theocracy versus Liberal Democracy
Watch these two SunNews videos (the first two links). They are about an ongoing broil between the government of Saudi Arabia and Canadian broadcasters. The whole thing started with an add presented by EthicalOil.org, a NGO website that encourages people to buy oil from countries that embody liberal democracy principles, such as freedom of speech, human rights, and not to buy it from countries, like Saudi Arabia, that do the opposite. The add focuses more specifically on women’s rights and Saudi Arabia is given as an example to the contrary. Apparently, the Saudi government issued threats to broadcasters, such as CTV, to cease and desist running the add. The tv network, having to choose between principles and business considerations, decided to pull out the add to save legal expenses, among other things. In other words, they caved, instead of fighting to defend and save democracy and its principles. In the first video, you will see a short response from minister Jason Kenney. I like his tone of voice. In the second video, you’ll see Ezra Levant commenting on the situation. He brings, with great accuracy, the role that should play feminists in a situation like that, while we don’t hear them at all, and the same with the CBC…but we are not surprised. Toronto newspapers fortunately have talked about it and, evidently, SunNews Network.
Overall, I must say that I am beginning to be rather tired of the cowardice of our elites. CBC’s behavior in this is outrageous but, as I said, I am not surprised. They seem to have a bias in favor of Middle East petro-dollars. We can see it clearly when they cover news about Israel. The Jewish state is always portrayed as the bad guys, and Arab or Muslim states always as the good ones. So is it surprising that they keep silent about something that embarrasses their « partners »? Probably not. The CTV behaves as cowards too, motivated by profit and short-term business relations. And the most digusting behavior of all comes from those whom we would expect it the least, the feminists. It is curious. When I was growing up in the ’70s and ’80s, men’s behavior were scrupulously studied, analyzed, observed, and if one of them was caught doing something judged not « acceptable », he was lynched in the media, in the public arena and his whole career and life were ruined. I have the impression that men are not equally treated on the Earth. If you are a man of colour, especially an Arab, you can treat women like animals and do anything with them. Feminists in the western world don’t give a damn. But if you have the unfortunate characteristic of being a white western male, then you are considered guilty as charged and feminists will make sure that you are accused and brought to justice for stuff that, all things considered, are not that terrible if you compare them with things going on in the Middle East. Feminists apply a logic that is beyond logic: the worst you behave with women, the best treatment you get; the best you behave with them, the worst you are treated. Continuer la lecture
Don Debar on Talktainment Radio presents the real situation on the ground in Libya
This interview with New York journalist Don Debar offers a much more credible and more believable assessment of the situation in Libya than what we have been given by our local news providers. Debar was in Libya recently and the account that he presents here make a lot of sense. To begin with, Debar de-mythologizes the country that we call Libya by sketching certain of its social and political dimensions unknown to the vast majority of the western public. Libya, up until NATO’s military campaign against it, have had a social safety net that would make people jalous even in a country like Canada. In effect, Libyans have had free education, free healthcare. Every Libyan has had the right to own his/her house and there has been no mortgage. And there has been also a certain redistribution of oil revenues, something NATO and the « Allies » never said to us, the population. Libya, up to this military intervention, has had the highest standard of living in Africa. According to Debar, a 1000 miles of non-polluted beaches could be enjoyed by any citizens.
« Revolutionaries » of this war originate from Qatar. To this day, certain areas of Libya haven’t seen any rebels. Among other elements of this interview, we note that: Nelson Mandela credited Qaddafi for the help he provided to end Apartheid; Qaddafi had the project of creating the United States of Africa, which would have integrated its economy with the use of a currency based on gold; Qaddafi paid for a telecommunication system made in Africa. These elements seem to have entered into conflict with a project of NATO called Africom that would probably resemble a form of neo-colonialism. Lode Vanoost, former Belgian MP, expressed a similar opinion. See this previous article to get a hold of that. Excellent journalist and brilliant author Russ Baker also expressed himself on the subject in a terrific article that you can consult through this last post, here: Russ Baker on the Peter B. Collins Show.
The Dalai Lama and Tariq Ramadan have sung in duet at the Second Global Conference on World’s Religions after 9/11
Well…I feel the need to pontificate a little today. Being a blogger and feeling sometimes relegated to the backseats of social and political discourse, I often have the impression that what I have to say about the world is considered useless and inconsequential by the power elite of this world. More humble people obviously appreciate this site and I am glad they do because, in the end, it is for them that I write and publish all these posts on my own time, for free. So today I hope you will allow me to celebrate my instincts, although I would have prefered evidently to be wrong. Last May, when I first heard about this coming Conference in Montreal, I had the feeling that the Dalai Lama and Tariq Ramadan would adjust their strategies and work on a common agenda. That’s why I had titled my post The Dalai and Tariq Ramadan will sing in duet…and that’s exactly what happened.
Let me explain a few things. A journalist from French-speaking radio station 98,5FM in Montreal, Canada, named Alain Pronkin, attended the Conference on September the 7th. In a two-part interviews given to host Benoit Dutrizac, he reported two things rather relevant for our purpose. First, Tariq Ramadan, this Muslim Brotherhood agent so « charming » and « moderate » that has become literally a sweatheart for the so-called progressive sector, was asked by a Buddhist raised in a Christian family why the Dalai Lama couldn’t visit the Mecca. Ramadan plainly and dully responded that the vast majority of Muslim scholars agreed on this and that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia wouldn’t allow it anyway. Period. So much for the religious freedom and « tolerance » that Ramadan is desperately trying to force upon Westerners. In other words, what Muslims mean by religious freedom is the possibility for them to impose their laws, their sharia, their Islamic veil, their sacred holidays, their prayers at whatever moment of the day and in whatever places they see fit, etc, that we, Westerners, have to accept in the name of so-called « openness ». But this principle of religious freedom doesn’t seem to work the other way around. If we, Westerners, want to express our religious freedom by visiting a holy place of Islam, even if it is only out of curiosity or for touristic experience, we can’t…unless Muslims permit it. Now you get the picture about religious freedom, Muslim style. Continuer la lecture
The controlled demolition of America on 9/11: Meet the Saudis and their Islamic nano-thermites
I will try in this post to do the impossible: assemble and summarize the most important elements of information available on 9/11 but that are not, for the most part, belonging to the official version. I rely for this, as it is often the case, on Dave Emory’s research, and as well on other sources, such as Daniel Hopsicker’s investigative reporting and John Loftus’ vast knowledge in intelligence. This is definitely the most complicated, complex, deep and troubling file probably of all modern times, so please bear with me. I have already presented the financial and economical aspects of 9/11 in an earlier post, so check it out for more information.
First, the main lead concerning 9/11 seems to implicate the Saudis, especially the Royal Family and the bin Laden family. The Bush Administration refused to release to the 9/11 Commission as much as ¾ of the national security papers available during the Clinton era, in all probability for the highly sensitive material that they contain. According to some sources in the journalistic community that Emory cites, previous attempts to use planes to launch terrorist attacks were contemplated in the years prior to 9/11 by Al-Qaeda, involving in some cases the Eiffel Tower, the city of Tel-Aviv in Israel, various other targets…and the World Trade Center. Several intelligence agencies throughout the world, such as Egyptian, Italian and Israeli intelligence, and in the U.S., tried to warn the Administration of an imminent attack that would take place around the Millenium, but their warnings were ignored. U.S. dependency on Saudi oil and the considerable reinvestment that the Saudis effectuate in the U.S. played a key role in the cover up of this intelligence. Continuer la lecture
Russ Baker on Libya on the Peter B. Collins Show: French Intelligence
Again, it is a great pleasure for me to reference the work of a great journalist. Russ Baker has been doing a terrific job for many years, and since the publication of his masterpiece Family of Secrets, he hasn’t cease to work, enquire, search for trails of investigation, for leads to be able to bring new facts or evidence to the light of day on subjects or cases of interest. Here he takes on the difficult subject of Libya. I must say that what he presents in this new article makes a great deal of sense. In a nutshell, the Libyan war has been planned and orchestrated by elements of both French and Italian intelligence. The whole thing began with Qaddafi’s protocol chief, Nouri Al-Mesmari, visit to France in October 2010. Under the cover of alleged medical treatments, he began talks with French intelligence to examine the possibility of taking Qaddafi down. Among many elements Russ Baker’s excellent article dwells on, is a project that apparently was concocted by the European Union to NATO-ize the Mediterranean, strangely reminiscent of the mare-nostrum contemplated during the days of the Roman Empire. Also, mining and oil considerations have played a big role in the Libyan « uprising » if you consider that Libya exports 32% of its oil to Italy alone. Europe has no source of oil that is local. They have to import oil and other resources from neighbouring countries.
I just have one element to add and I think it is important. One year ago or so, Qaddafi threatened Europe to swarm the continent with Black immigration if the EU didn’t give him something like 5 bn euros a year. He made this incredible demand, that sounded rather like extortion or blackmail, during a two-day visit in Italy. Also during this trip, he hosted two « convert to Islam parties » which infuriated the Catholic Church. No surprise he got toppled… So first, you can familiarize yourself by listening to the interview with Russ Baker on the Peter B. Collins Show and then read the entire article. I also joined the article from the Mail Online that talks about Qaddafi’s threat.
Le câble de WikiLeaks sur Power Corporation, Robin Philpot et la « Province » du Canada
Le câble de WikiLeaks publié dans Le Devoir sur les relations entre les hommes politiques canadiens et québécois et Power Corporation a fait beaucoup jaser depuis hier. Envoyé à Washington en 2009 par le nouvel ambassadeur des États-Unis au Canada, David Jacobson, le document met en lumière le questionnement de l’ambassadeur quant au niveau d’influence réelle qu’exerce Power Corporation sur la vie politique canadienne et québécoise. Le câble mentionne également les investissements de Power dans une société pétrolière française, Total, ainsi que dans les sables bitumineux de l’Alberta. L’ambassadeur donne en exemple le comportement de Jean Charest lors du sommet environnemental de Copenhague, où le Premier Ministre du Québec semble avoir adouci sa rhétorique contre le gouvernement Harper et ses politiques sur les gaz à effets de serre.
Je vous propose ici le vidéo d’une conférence que Robin Philpot, auteur du livre Derrière l’État Desmarais: Power a donné au siège de la Société St-Jean-Baptiste voilà quelques années suite à la parution de son livre, ainsi qu’une entrevue donnée sur un ton plus humouristique à l’animateur de radio Benoît Dutrizac du 98,5 FM. Dans le vidéo de la conférence, on y apprend entre autres qu’à peu près rien n’a été publié sur l’empire Desmarais ou Power Corporation à ce jour. Les bibliothèques sont vides, alors que dans n’importe quel autre pays du monde, des dizaines de livres seraient consacrés à une famille aussi importante. Aussi, il semble avoir un vide médiatique autour des Desmarais, comme si on ne pouvait pas parler de cette famille-là ni de leurs affaires. Philpot y fait le tour du parcours financier et monétaire de l’empire et présente comment il s’est constitué. La fortune de la famille a commencé à se matérialiser grâce à l’industrie de l’hydro-électricité, avant que l’État québécois ne la nationalise. Avec les années, plusieurs entreprises se sont ajoutées au holding Desmarais comme Great West, Investors, etc. En de nombreuses occasions, la famille Desmarais a bénéficié de l’aide de l’État québécois ou canadien pour faire l’acquisition d’entreprises ou pour en prendre le contrôle et voilà quelques décennies, de généreuses subventions gouvernementales lui ont été accordées afin de moderniser la machinerie de l’industrie forestière. Or, depuis 1989, l’empire Desmarais n’a pas réinvesti un seul sou dans l’économie québécoise, ce qui est vraiment troublant. Leurs capitaux ont plutôt été placés aux États-Unis, en Chine, etc. Continuer la lecture
