Four factions are fighting

The Defense faction

Brent Scowcroft, Generals opposing Rumsfeld. Led by Robert Gates, the real boss in Washington. ending the armies’ privatization, pulling-out from Iraq, pursuing
Afghanistan. Make agreement with Iran and Syria. Russia and China are rivals. Realize that in the financial crisis, they are going to lose military programs, but must preserve a relative superiority


The Treasury and the Department of Commerce

Geithner and Paul Volcker, the Rockefeller protégés. Come from Pilgrim’s Society, with support of Group of Thirty, Peterson Institute, Trilateral Committee. backed by Queen Elizabeth II to save Wall Street and the City. the crisis is a heavy blow to the finance oligarchy. in free fall, but it is an opportunity to concentrate capital and trample the resistance to globalization. Need to avoid social revolutions. buying back industrial jewels. long term, seek a worldwide tax on CO2, spot market in CO2 emission rights. Unlike the Pentagon, push for an alliance with China because it owns 40% of the US Treasury bonds, but also to prevent Far East economic block from draining raw materials from Africa.

The Department of State

led by Hillary Clinton, a fundamentalist Christian and a member of
Fellowship Foundation a.k.a "The" Family. The the Zionist refuge and ultimate preserve of endangered neo-con species. push for unconditional support to Israël,
with a touch of realism. The situation has changed, it won’t be possible to bomb Lebanon like in 2006 Hezbollah now owns efficient anti-aircraft weapons. Or Invading Gaza as in 2008 won’t be possible Hamas has purchased Kornet anti-tank missiles. If the US has difficulties funding Tel-Aviv it is unlikely that Saudis will make it up. Bide time by making concessions. Need to find a strategic purpose to Israël. Clinton will try to improve the image of the United States through advertising, promoting the real or imaginary qualities. Zionists will likely push for the Korbel-Albright-Rice project, that is transforming the UN into
impotent forum and creating Community of Democracies backed by NATO, its armed wing. It will focus on sabotaging the denouncing of the apartheid regime of Tel-Aviv. Sees the financial crisis as a blitzkrieg. Lot of breakage. It is time to destroy rivals, grab some control levers. not to get richer through mergers and acquisitions, but to impose their men in the Ministries of Finance and head of the banking institutions all around the world.

National Security Council

Zbigniew Brzezinski. To become a real center of command, led by Thomas E. Donilon
financial crisis is a crisis of the imperial strategy. Unlike 1929, war won’t be the solution, war is the problem. Three aims
force the money back into the US by destroying the competing foreign tax havens
and destabilizing the economies of the developed countries (as tested inGreece);
maintain the illusion of the US military power in pursuing the occupation of Afghanistan; and
obliterate the emerging alliances between Syria, Iran and China and especially between Russia and China (Shanghai Cooperation Organization).
It will favor all forms of clandestine actions to give the Pentagon enough time for its reorganization
