Gen. Jones said the number of countries who signed up for the exercise, called Trident Juncture 2015, swelled as Russia has increased its aggression in Ukraine. Currently some 36,000 troops from 30 nations are scheduled to take part.
The last exercise of a similar size involved 40,000 troops and was held in Norway in 2002.
The new exercise, the generals noted, is not based on a Russian-scenario but instead based on a fictional African country. Still, elements that have been part of the fighting in Ukraine or are part of the Russian arsenal have been added to the scenario.
Alliance members will face a hostile government adept at propaganda as well as cyber attacks on the participating forces.
“We have to be agile and able to respond to any threat, a southern threat or an eastern threat,” said Gen. Domrose. “We have to train for both.”
The cross or knot of “Thet” represents blood and the uterus – it is related to the worship of then Egyptian deity Isis.
It will take place in Italy, Spain and Portugal from September 28 to November 6, with land, air and naval and special forces units of 33 countries (28 NATO plus five allies): More than 35,000 troops, 200 aircraft, and 50 warships. The military industries of 15 countries will also participate to assess what other weapons NATO needs.
NATO’s Joint Forces Command Naples, with headquarters in Lago Patria, Naples, will play a central role in the exercise under Admiral Use Ferguson, who is also commander of U.S. Naval Forces in Europe and the Africa Command: Alternating annually with Brunssum (Netherlands), the JFC Naples plays the role of operational command of NATO’s “Response Force,” whose general command answers to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (always a U.S. general appointed by the president). The projection of forces to the south goes far beyond North Africa: Supreme Commander Gen. Breedlove clarified this by announcing that “the members of NATO will play a big role in North Africa, the Sahel and sub-Saharan Africa.”

Discover the truth about the men behind the curtain who own and run the U.S. Government.
These men are totally evil, ruthless, greedy and vicious individuals who will stop at nothing to gain control of the world and the enslavement of us all.
They are now taking steps to control and shut down the internet because it is the last means for people to come together, and voice their opinions freely.
Also in 1910, Senator Nelson Aldrich, Frank Vanderlip of National City (Citibank), Henry Davison of Morgan Bank, and Paul Warburg of the Kuhn, Loeb Investment House met secretly at Jekyll Island, a resort island off the coast of Georgia, to discuss and formulate banking reform, including plans for a form of central banking. The meeting was held in secret because the participants knew that any plan they generated would be rejected automatically in the House of Representatives if it were associated with Wall Street. Because it was secret and because it involved Wall Street, the Jekyll Island affair has always been a source of conspiracy theories. But the conspiracy theorists overestimate the significance of the meeting. Everyone knew Wall Street wanted reform, and the Aldrich Plan which the meeting produced was, in fact, rejected by the House.
The Aldrich Plan called for a system of fifteen regional central banks, called National Reserve Associations, whose actions would be coordinated by a national board of commercial bankers. The Reserve Association would make emergency loans to member banks, would create money to provide an elastic currency that could be exchanged equally for demand deposits, and would act as a fiscal agent for the federal government. The Aldrich Plan was defeated in the House as expected, but its outline became a model for a bill that eventually was adopted.
The problem with the Aldrich Plan was that the regional banks would be controlled individually and nationally by bankers, a prospect that did not sit well with the populist Democratic party or with Wilson. The Democrats and Wilson were not opposed to banking reform, nor were they opposed to a form of central banking. They were fearful that the reforms would grant more control of the financial system to bankers, particularly to the Wall Street crowd. They also remembered their history: the First and Second Banks of the United States were brought down in part by foreign ownership of the Banks’ stock, a fear of centralized power, and because the Banks competed with the private banks they were regulating. A return to central banking must not be accompanied by those features.
What eventually emerged was the Federal Reserve Act, also known at the time as the Currency Bill, or the Owen-Glass Act. The bill called for a system of eight to twelve mostly autonomous regional Reserve Banks that would be owned by commerical banks and whose actions would be coordinated by a committee appointed by the President. The Federal Reserve System would then become a privately owned banking system that was operated in the public interest. Bankers would run the twelve Banks, but those Banks would be supervised and by the Federal Reserve Board whose members included the Secretary of the Treasury, the Comptroller of the Currency, and other officials appointed by the President to represent public interests.
A few days ago I saw a headline: “The Impending Race War.” I have no idea what angle the article was coming from because I didn’t read it. ‘Watch what you consume’ has become my motto with regard to information, because the stuff piles up and affects me emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
No matter what the article says, whose agenda is the headline pumping anyway? We’re already being told who to be afraid of, who’s trying to take our scraps, who’s planning to behead us and what disease to watch out for next. Now we’re being told what war we are going to engage in, with our neighbor?
We do have the capacity to direct our own thinking. So, I’ll offer some thoughts about the ‘not impending race war’. We have a choice about this one. While we might not be able to stop them from going off and fighting the latest manufactured enemy, in search of resources, and total control, at Israel’s bidding… we can stop the heinous notion of fighting amongst ourselves.

None of Draghi’s measures, which in actuality boil down to money printing via bank credit expansion, will accomplish their stated goals. Such polices, to one degree or another, have been tried before and ultimately lead to hyperinflation, the destruction of the currency and depression. This, however, assumes that central bankers’ primary goal is to “fight deflation,” reduce unemployment or promote growth. It is not.
The principle objective of every central bank is the preservation of the banking system and the governmental authority which privileges it. Unemployment, price inflation, booms and busts are at best secondary concerns for central bankers.
Central bank “self preservation,” however, comes at a tremendous social cost – the impoverishment of everyone outside of the banking-governmental orbit. The creation of a “liquidity channel,” Quantitative Easing, ZIRP, or whatever other term the economic spinmeisters use are attempts to hide the fact that central banks create money out of thin air which ultimately results in the transference of wealth to the banking and governing classes of society. This is how the global ruling elites maintain their power and how, in the United States, a world empire is financed.
While the redistribution of wealth via monetary policy enrich the politically-connected financial elite, there are other baneful consequences. Money printing leads to the depreciation of the currency which manifests itself into a rise in overall prices. Naturally, central bankers and the clueless financial press blame general price increases on other factors – “oil price shocks,” “speculators,” “greedy” businessmen – when, in fact, it is the inflationary actions of the central banks.
