    Another article on US empire’s misadventures in the broader Middle East and Afghanistan, this one looking at “linear” thinking and its limitations and unintended consequences:

    • When I see it all laid out in this way, I can’t help but think that all these “plans” are meant to fail. As Catherine Austin Fitts has said in some of her interviews, the deep state and government are not stupid or foolish or incompetent and that the story that they are is a cover story. So if they are not incompetent and foolish in their thinking, then there is a covert goal and plan. Given the unceasing creation of chaos and destruction, the question must then be who or what benefits / results from this? What can be done while there is a destabilized Middle East and world populations are adrift? Aside from the obvious grabbing of resources and being able to strong arm the bombarded nations and people into agreements / contracts that do not serve local people, what is possible?

      • For every action there is a reaction, somehow, sometime, somewhere. Those obsessed by the control mindset prefer to think that this somewhere and sometime are far away. However, any drive for extreme control or extreme chaos (which the deluded controllers believe they control!) is bound to cause a reaction. Which may be somewhere distant, but the people or whatever in that distant place may NOT be amused (think of the quantum effects of nuclear testing or even human thought experiments).
