Overview - (Video, Article, books and link sections follow)

This section is dedicated to bringing to light the current happenings and stories of the military wars America is engaged in.  This section is also dedicated to describing why we are at war, the history of our engagement with foreign nations and the corporate controlled media’s deception regarding these issues. 

In this section we describe through government documents that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were planned before September 11^th, 2001.  Therefore these wars are not a product of combating terrorism, but rather one of policy; we try to explore why such policy has been instituted.  Agree or disagree with the policy, importance or need for these wars, we as the people of a government supposedly of, by and for the people, need to have a forthcoming government in all cases, especially when it comes to laying the lives of American solders on the line.  

Maybe we should be engaged in these conflicts, maybe we shouldn’t; what we absolutely should be engaged in however is the truthful dissemination of knowledge.  This section hopes to provide that truthful dissemination of knowledge about all of the United States military actions, not just limited to the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We now currently have 169,000 troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

AFGHANISTAN:

It has been documented by multiple sources, including Sibel Edmonds, as well as multiple other sources that the invasion of Afghanistan was planned in advance of 9-11, according to miltilple mainstream news sources (like BBC and NBC).  Since the invasion was planned before the pretext of 9/11, lets explore some posible motives for an invasion of Afghanistan.

A possible reason for the invasion of Afghanistan would be to conquer the nation in order to facilitate a pipeline through it, in order to bring oil and natural gas from resource rich central Asia to the Arabian Sea.

The American government funded the Mujahidin (a terrorist organization) right before and throughout its war with the Soviet Union (in the mid-1980’s).   With the help of the American dollar Osama bin Laden (a CIA asset up until 9-11-01) became the prime financier for an organization that recruited Muslims from mosques around the world; this organization he called Al Qaeda.  With help and funding from America’s Central Intelegence Agency, bin Laden started Al Qaeda

The Mujahedeen with the help of the United States drove out the Soviets, but in subsequent years was unable to gain total control of Afghanistan.  The Taliban then gained control over Afghanistan.  They became a friend of the United States after agreeing to a pipeline proposal.  During the Clinton Administration the deal fell through for the Taliban to allow the US government to build a pipeline, immediately after the deal fell through the Taliban, a previous US supported organization was put on the enemies list and we drew up plans to invade Afghanistan.

An oil and gas pipeline through Afghanistan from central Asia may very well be the best thing for America, financially.  Brothers of Liberty have no problems with such a pipeline.  Brothers of Liberty is set out to be a bastion of truth and a defender of liberty; in such we have a problem with the lies and deception of government and the lack of media coverage on these lies.  We at Brothers of liberty are set out to tell the truth on current and past events as it pertains to liberty and the United States government.  We take issue with the phony pretext for war in Afghanistan and the possibility of fabricated motives behind such a war. 

The pipeline through Afghanistan plan was in the works for many years before 2001.  The initial plan was to do it without military force (military force being unpopular to the American people).  When that coarse of action was deemed impossible, we went with the alternative, to wage war.

The pipeline theory is a strong one, we have many US officials, including Zbigniew Brzezinski talking about an Afghanistan pipeline for decades.  The only argument against such a pipeline is that the country of Afghanistan is, and has been highly unstable.  Many people believe (and believed even before we invaded them) that a pipeline through Afghanistan is too risky.  With such a history of instability in the nation the chance of a safe and uninterupted flow of oil and gas through a pipeline seems low.

Since the plans to invade Afghanistan were drawn up before 9/11 we will contune to examine some possible motives for such an invasion. 

According to the Department of Defence numbers cited by the Washington Post there are over 69,000 troops (and rising) deployed in Afghanistan, over double the amound deployed there when Bush left office.

PAKISTAN:

Obama said, multiple times before his election that he will bomb targets in Pakistan.  The United States made its first bombing run just 72 hours after his inoguration.  Obama’s top foreign adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski – founder of the Trilateral Commission, has written that he would like the United States to gain control over Pakistan or break it into “mini states” and may engineer the fall of Pakistan.  It is likely that the fall of Pakistan, or its breakup into, smaller easy to deal with mini states, will probably be done mainly by foreign countries, like India.  Brzezinski, as he has stated and demonstrated, prefers conflicts and regime change that do not involve mass amounts of American troops, rather he prefers using geopolitics. 

Pakistan is also an essential country in the building a natural gas and oil pipeline from Central Asia to the Arabian Sea.  This section will provide information on the tensions, conflicts and happenings between Pakistan, its neighbors and the United States.

IRAQ:

Iraq was in the cross hairs of The United States before the attacks of September 11^th.  Since the Clinton adminstration the Neo-Cons had been pushing for regime change in Iraq.  It has been well documented that the Bush Administration knew full well that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.  This was a lie and an excuse to invade a sovereign country. 

Bush/Cheney thought that they could impose on Iraq and Saddam Hussein the most intrusive inspection regime in the history of the world, having the UN inspectors go throughout his palaces and interview his scientists one on one with no Iraqi present, thinking for sure Husein would reject these never before seen impositions.  Turned out, without any such weapons of mass destruction Saddam allowed these imposing inspections.

The Bush - Cheney led American Government, thirsty for a war with Iraq plotted ways to justify such a war - ideas included dressing a U2 plane in UN colors and flying it across Iraqi airspace hoping it would be shot down.  The American government knew that Iraq had no weapon of mass destruction and fabricated the war anyway.  President Bush told the President of Spain that we will go to war in Iraq no matter what.  We had the Iraqi head of intelligence and the Iraqi foreign minister in the US’s employment; both Iraqi officials told the US that Iraq had no WMDs.

So, the Bush administration, on numerous counts, knew that Iraq was no serious threat to develop a weapon of mass destruction.  They also as anyone who knew that the claim that Iraq may give their non-existent WMD to the Taliban was a complete fabrication, as the Taliban and the Iraqi government

The great lie of the invasion of Iraq was its reasoning.  At first we were told that the reason for going to war that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and they wouldn’t let the inspectors in.  Well it turned out that there were no WMDs and in actuality they did let inspectors in.  Then when no such weapons were found, the rhetoric was that we invaded Iraq to liberate a country from an oppressive dictator, which Saddam was, although woman did have more rights under Saddam (woman were even able to hold prominent government positions) than they do under almost all other middle Eastern countries, but the lie that Iraq won’t let the inspectors in was still touted by Bush himself right up until he left office as a major reason we went to war in Iraq.  This is simply a lie and the corporate controlled mainstream media has still refused to call bush and the rest of the administration out on this lie.

So, here we are today.  We are engaged in this war, started under false pretenses.  The United States has elected Barak Obama, a man who while running said that he would start to pull the troops out of Iraq immediately.  Then he said he’d pull them all out after a year and now he says we may pull them out after 26 months.

We have troops in Iraq, it is what it is, but we were told if we elect Barak Obama, than those troops would start to come home.  This section will detail what is actually happening in Iraq.  Some of our military has been moved out of Iraq; unfortunately they have not come home, they have been re-deployed to Afghanistan.  In addition there are actually more Americans in Iraq today than there were when Obama took office.  In a political move he has pulled troops out of Iraq and replaced them with “private contractors,” which amount to Xe (formerly called Black Water) and other private security companies. 

The reality is that there are actually more Americans putting their lives on the line in Iraq than there were when Obama took office and again this may be good or this may be bad, but in either case we, the American people have been lied to.  Here in this section is the truth to the American war in Iraq

OTHER POSSIBLE CONFLICTS: 

Zbigniew Brzezinski will be setting foreign policy for Obama.  His foreign policies are very different from the neo-con agenda we saw under Bush.  Under Brzezinski we will have a new set of allies and enemies.  Pakistan, Sudan and Zimbabwe will become the new enemies.  The end game is to deprive China of oil and natural resources (which they get much of from Africa (Sudan and Zimbabwe).  The thought is that this may pit China against Russia. As China is deprived of oil and necessary resources, they will seek these resources and oil; the Brzezinski school of thought is that China will then seek the resources of Eastern Russia, creating conflict between the two nations.    This will weaken both super powers, paving the way for another 100 years of British/American world dominance.  This new enemies list is yet to be confronted or attacked, so we’ll have to wait and see how this scenario plays out; either way BOL with keep you updated in this section.

Zbigniew Brzezinski’s views on dealing with Iran differ from the neo-con agenda we saw under the Bush Administration.  Based on what Brzezinski has said, he did not believe an invasion of Iran was in the best interest of the United States.  He would prefer rather to use Iran to our advantage against Russia or China.  However recent events show that Iran is probably a couple of years away from developing a nuclear weapon, therefore we will have to wait and see how Iran will be dealt with or used.

Books in their Entirety and Historical Writings

War is a Racket: By Major General Smedley Butler: War Is a Racket is the title of two works, a speech and a booklet, by retired U.S. Marine Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, one of only 19 people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, in which Butler frankly discusses from his experience as a career military officer how business interests have commercially benefited from warfare.
  After he retired from the Marine Corps, Gen. Butler made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a small book with the same title that was published in 1935 by Round Table Press, Inc., New York. The booklet was also condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement which helped popularize his message.
  In War Is A Racket, Butler points to a variety of examples, mostly from World War I, where industrialists whose operations were subsidised by public funding were able to generate substantial profits essentially from mass human suffering.

The War Prayer By Mark Twain - "The War Prayer," a short story or prose poem by Mark Twain, is a scathing indictment of war, and particularly of blind patriotic and religious fervor as motivations for war.
