The Dragon Roars

Every now and then, the truth shows its ugly head, unexpectedly. Ambition is often without moral compass, driven only by the end which more often than not, determines the means. This methodology includes even the best of objectives. For example, when Jacob was informed that the birthright would be his, what did he and his mother do? They found a way to acquire it, which was not exactly the means that God had in mind. Now the best thing about that story is that the birthright was really intended for Jacob. The most revealing thing about the story was the lack of moral integrity that allowed him to engage in the complex deception, which ultimately resulted in his having to flee his home.
In his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geo-strategic Imperatives , National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski calls for the U.S. to install itself as the world's only superpower by taking over the Middle East and using it as a lever to control what he terms the Eurasian Balkans. That in itself may be expected, given the years of ambition that filled the hearts of President after President, along with their Cabinets. America’s beginning as a global force showed itself shortly before World War I.
“The basis for America's expanding geopolitical ambitions was provided by the rapid industrialization of the country's economy. By the outbreak of World War I, America's growing economic might already accounted for about 33 percent of global GNP, which displaced Great Britain as the world's leading industrial power. This remarkable economic dynamism was fostered by a culture that favored experimentation and innovation.” Zbigniew Brzezinski, “ The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geo-strategic Imperatives,” page 4.
It is clear that 33 percent of the world’s Gross National Product is incredible. This truly demonstrated the tremendous blessing that the nation received. The size of the US population in 1914 was approximately 99 million. The global population during the same year was approximately 1.8 billion. But industrial and food production was not the only measure of America’s rise to dominance. Her military strength was equally powerful.
“World War I provided the first occasion for the massive projection of American military force into Europe. A heretofore relatively isolated power promptly transported several hundred thousand of its troops across the Atlantic—a transoceanic military expedition unprecedented in its size and scope, which signaled the emergence of a new major player in the international arena.” Zbigniew Brzezinski, “ The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geo-strategic Imperatives,” page 4.
The years that followed produced an even higher level of American supremacy, until the need to control the events of the world became a driving obsession. It would have been one thing to be aggressively ambitious, but quite another to achieve dominance through manipulative action. During the year 2007, the United States and Iran were embroiled in what appears to be one of their frequent arguments, when Former National Security Advisor and founding member of the Trilateral Commission Zbigniew Brzezinski tacitly warned a Senate Foreign Relations Committee that an attack on Iran could be launched following a staged provocation in Iraq or a false flag terror attack within the U.S.
“Brzezinski alluded to the potential for the Bush administration to manufacture a false flag Gulf of Tonkin type incident in describing a "plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran," which would revolve around "some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US blamed on Iran, culminating in a ‘defensive’ US military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.” Paul Joseph Watson, Brzezinski Suggests False Flag Event Could Kick-Start Iran War February 6, 2007
What, I hear you ask, is a false flag event? It is an event that is staged to look like an attack from a so called enemy, when in fact it is a set up by the “victim” as an excuse to “defend” it. The number of times this scenario has arisen is startling. Today, reality is hard to define. Truth is even harder to find. Revelation 13 and verse 11 properly describes our nation as having two horns like a lamb, but speaking or acting like a dragon. The lamblike persona is still verbally expressed, while the voice of the dragon roars in secret.
