Editor's Comment: It seems clear enough that the system is intent on having  large-scale war. How and why it happens are largely irrelevant, so long as the end justifies the means. It is clear enough that the military industrial complex stands to make billions off of war, and the death, destruction, fear and disruption to life are all key ingredients.

While the powers-that-be pretend that everything is playing out along the rules governing international warfare the agents are working behind the scenes in the black arts of sabotage and assassination. Most of all, they deal in provocation. If they can't bully a nation into striking first, then they simply start flicking the nose, poking the ribs and taunting their opponent. Eventually, the target is will snap, and fight back. Then, they get what they want. The public will be told an entirely different reason for the war. Get ready.
