Owl: Merkel Plans War with Russia — Enabling ISIS, Creating Army, Who Assassinated NATO’s Head Auditor?

BREAKING: I believe I have uncovered evidence that Angela Merkel is intentionally allowing ISIS to operate in the EU

The author of this detailed article purports to show German Chancellor Angela Merkel has deliberately and consciously allowed ISIS to operate within German borders for the express purpose of destabilizing Germany and Europe enough to force much deeper EU integration that would be controlled by Germany. In addition, German control would extend to occupying other European countries under the cover of containing ISIS attacks. The author shows evidence that NATO is covertly supplying a new EU Army that will take on the role of a European occupier. This article contains extensive links to what appears to be reliable sources, and of particular note, it highlights the likely murder several days ago of Yves Chandelon, the Head Auditor of NATO, who may have been in the process of blowing the whistle on NATO supplying the EU Army.

Berto Jongman: Death of BBC, Questionable Capacity of CIA’s OSE

Corruption, Government, Ineptitude, Military

BBC at risk of death — CIA's OSE allegedly covers 75% of world to BBC's 25%.

Open Source Stupidity: The Threat to the BBC Monitoring Service

In addition to further severe budget cuts, BBC Monitoring is currently facing the loss of its Caversham Park headquarters (formerly owned by the Government) and many of its specialists who have no wish to relocate. . . . We therefore conclude that the Government must reinstate funding of the service in order to protect its skilled staff and specialist infrastructure. If the BBC is not willing to co-operate, then the Government should recognise the folly of the 2010 decision; take back ownership of Caversham Park; restore the modest central funding required and reconstitute the Monitoring Service as a state-owned Open Source Information Agency, in order to guarantee its future, once and for all.

Steven Aftergood: CRS on Defense R&D

03 Economy, DoD, Military, Research resources

Nearly half of all federal research and development dollars go to the Department of Defense, a new report from the Congressional Research Service observes. The Pentagon research budget is more than twice that of the next largest recipient, the Department of Health and Human Services.
The structure of the DoD research budget, which has “its own unique taxonomy,” is described in the new CRS report. See Department of Defense Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E): Appropriations Structure, December 13, 2016:

An American Grand Strategy: Evidence-Based, Affordable, Balanced, Flexible (Re-Inventing National Security Book 1)

5 Star, Civil Society, Commerce, Ethics, Government, Military, Officers Call, Peace Intelligence, Strategy

The American Republic is out of balance — collapsing from poor governance and the triumph of special interests over the public interest. There are two root causes — the corruption of the US political process that disenfranchises sixty percent of the public and blocks Independents and small parties from ballot access, and a dysfunctional intelligence architecture that lacks integrity — as Henry Kissinger has observed, intelligence is not necessary to the exercise of power (as practiced by the elite-driven US national security state) and is often useless.

No one since President Ike Eisenhower and Project Solarium has ever attempted an official honest, comprehensive, and coherent formulation of a grand strategy that balances ends, means, and ways for all government functions, not only in the national security arena, where the military is consuming 60% of the disposable budget in 2015, but across the domestic front as well.

Reality bats last — the US military has not been designed in the context of a Grand Strategy, nor has it been designed with any attention at all to Global Reality.

The US military is too slow, too heavy, too expensive, too complex, and spread too thin to be effective — it cannot deter, defend, or defeat. From the F-35 in the US Air Force to the USS Gerald Ford in the US Navy to the varied cancelled and cumbersome systems of the US Army, the US military is good for one thing and one thing only: enriching the military-industrial complex and the banks behind that complex.
