Who Is Stirring the Pot?

If you've been following international news over the past week, it seems there has been a sudden spike in tensions and crises within or between sovereign states. We needn't get caught up in all the details of human conflict and fighting, but it helps to be aware of certain global events. In the Middle East, aside from the rioting that has resulted in the deaths of several demonstrators. Syria, in defiance of Arab League efforts, is still going full blast with their own crackdown that has resulted in even more civilian deaths. In a disturbing sign that Syria might turn into another Libya, army defectors have launched at least one attack in the capital city of Damascus.

The UN Security Council is divided on how to proceed vis-a-vis Syria. However, there is a twist in the Syria situation that could either defuse tensions or make it spread out of control. There are reports that Russia has sent warships to the Syrian coast in order to prevent Syria from being attacked by warplanes. Let's see where this one leads.

As if the Syrian situation wasn't bad enough, Israel seems to be ratcheting things up in regard to their confrontation with Iran. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak recently made statements calling for action against Iran's supposed nuclear weapons program. The Israelis have always been quick on the trigger and only US pressure has prevented an attack so far. But with the US possibly distracted by other international and domestic issues, Israel might just get impatient enough to act on its own.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, tensions between the US and China are also rising, with one article raising the question of whether the US is goading China in the South China Sea dispute. Aside from making statements of "solidarity" with Southeast Asian nations who have disputes with China, President Obama also announced plans to expand the basing of US troops in Australia, putting them within striking distance of any conflict that may flare up in the South China Sea.

If you start putting all these things together, it hasn't been a good week as far as world peace is concerned. However, ever since the US lied about their reasons for invading Iraq (just in case you forgot, the US said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and used this to start the invasion in 2003; no WMD have ever been found), I've started looking at all these issues under a different light. The question now is, what is the overall agenda? Who is trying to profit by raising the stakes this way?

The current tensions are not really about "democracy vs. tyranny" or some other popular slogan like "freedom" and "liberation." Reading Gods of Eden has only reinforced that contention, aside from reading all those books and articles about the Illuminati. So hopefully less people will be taken in by popular media and instead start reading between the lines.

In the meantime, let's continue to do our meditations in order to bless Mother Earth with peace, understanding and cooperation. If you do Meditation on Twin Hearts, make sure to meditate it daily, particularly focusing on the Middle East and Asia.
