The many news events of this last weekend are all overshadowed by the attack by the US military on Afghanistan. But this story is actually anti-climactic and a misdirection. The real story was released last Thursday by US National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice when she announced that as a result of the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center, Russia has become ìthe first and most activeî partner of the United States.

     The importance of Riceís statement was missed by all the other news services, who merely reported it without comment, or never reported it at all. They never really understood what it meant. Also in the last week, many BroJon readers wrote to ask, ìDidnít you misspell the word 'phoney' in the article 'DISMANTLING OF AMERICA - The Phoney War in Afghanistan'?" The answer to that question and the question of the importance of Riceís statement are both answered in the upcoming article, ìTHE WORLD IN CHECKMATE ó The Phoney War in Afghanistan (Part 2).î

     (Note: the following was previously sent to the members of the BroJon Digest mail list, a select group who wish to stay days or weeks ahead of the news as reported by other news sources.)

Just for BROJON DAILY DIGEST READERS, here's a quick preview peek at a portion of ìThe World in Checkmateî which answers both questions:

     ... It is a reference to the "Phoney War" that occurred in southern France in 1939. While Hitler was invading Poland in the east, the British and the French were lulled into taking no action. The Germans had just invaded the mountainous Alsace Lorraine region on the border with France in a region unprotected by the massive WWI-inspired Maginot Line wall fortress, which ran all along the border between Germany and France, except in the rugged foothills of the Alps at the very southern end.

     The German soldiers in the Alsace Lorraine would take occasional pot shots across the border at the French, and the French simply returned the fire. There were no casualties in this ìwar.î The "phoney war" went on for months from September 1939 to May 1940, while the world's newspaper headlines screamed of the invasion of Poland in the East. The French and British were fooled into thinking Germany was no threat to the western countries. Then suddenly, while nobody seems to have been looking, the vast German tank armies burst through the Arden Forest around the top of the Maginot line where it ends at Belgium, and within just two weeks swallowed up almost all of western Europe.

     Thus the occasional pot shot action by the Germans in the Alsace Lorraine was called the "Phoney War," using the British spelling. Obviously the Germans were creating a misdirection and a hoax at the southern end of the Maginot Line, during the massive invasion of Poland in the east, while in fact they were massing a huge army, the largest invasion force then ever conceived, at the northern end in the Ruhr Valley next to Belgium in the west.

     By the subtitle "The Phoney War in Afghanistan" I am referring to the similarity with the misdirection and hoax played by the Germans at the beginning of WWII. It is clear the same game is being played now. With the massing of the fleets and planes in the Mediterranean Sea, Persian Gulf, and Indian Ocean, all aimed at burnoosed Muslims in caves in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, the American media, along with President Bush are misdirecting the public from the real world events now occurring ..Ö

     And what are those events that are being covered up by the screaming headlines about the U.S. military attack on Afghanistan?

     The visits, just before the Afghan attacks, by Britain's Prime Minister Blair and US Secretary of State, Powell to Russia to form a "new alliance" against terror, and the visits by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld to the many minor middle east Muslim states indicates a major shift is occurring right now in world power and alliances. President Bush's call to all the world's nations two weeks ago of, "Either you are with us or with the terrorists," is an arcane code for "Either you are with the US or with the Chinese." The new power division in the world will no longer be East vs West, implying US vs USSR, but is now the US and Russia combined vs China.

     Many of the smaller middle eastern states and the many old soviet Asian republics (the xx-istans), which are on the line of choosing between alliance with the US or with China, are being forced to decide in the next week or so. The purpose for moving all the aircraft carriers, planes and soldiers to the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean is to be in place while US ambassadors question the leaders of all those smaller states, "So, are you with us or with the terrorists?" And all the while, half the US military, five aircraft carrier war groups, fleets of B-52 bombers, squadrons of fighters, cruise missiles and masses of soldiers, along with fusillades of 18 inch naval destroyer guns are all aimed down their throats. How do you think the leaders of those countries are going to answer? Especially while all around them bombs are falling in Afghanistan.

     And now you know the reason for such a massive military force buildup surrounding the middle east, using smoke and mirrors to fool the public into thinking they are going to shoot up some caves in Afghanistan. What is going on right now is a major realignment of all the alliances of the whole world, not anything to do with chasing burnoosed arabs in the desert.

     And what is the name of this new alignment of world powers? It was announced publicly by the first President George Bush, about 19 times in his speeches way back in 1989 and 1990. It is the ìNew World Order.î Most conspiracy theorists have mistakenly assumed the term "New World Order" means the establishment of a new One World power elite. Not so! The one world power elite has already long been established, going back to the late 1930's. That is the international ìEmpire of Energy.î

     No, the term ìNew World Orderî does not refer to any group or power elite in the world, but instead refers to a new ordering or alignment of world alliances. All during the Cold War from 1950 to 1991 the world was aligned into East vs West, or USSR vs the US. All other countries were forced to choose alliance with either East or West.

     The establishment of the "New World Order" is a new set of alliances based on North vs South, or Russia with the United States combined as a Northern Alliance against the Southern countries lead by China. The key to understanding the New World Order is that the coming new world economy is no longer based on gold or oil, but based on the ownership of the nuclear energy fuel, Plutonium, refined from Uranium ore.

     In 1991 the world was in transition to the new economy. This meant the combining of the old USSR and America as a new union based on their sole ownership of the only stockpiles of plutonium. Neither China nor any other country has their own raw supply of nuclear fuel. The purpose of the Cold War was the scooping up of all the worldís Uranium sources under the guise of Cold War national security. Once all the world's Uranium ore had be mined and processed, there was no longer a need for a "cold war" and it was time for a "new world order."

     For the USSR the New World Order meant the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. For the US it means the reaction of the populace to the attack on the World Trade Center, and announcing to the shocked and easily fooled public the formation of a new alliance with Russia, supposedly against terrorism in 2001. In 1989, I had predicted in numerous articles and radio interviews that the USSR and the US would soon combine as a new union against China. Very few people believed me then. With Condoleeza Riceís statement showing a new realignment with Russia, this combination of the old USSR and the US into an expanded NATO or Northern Hemisphere Alliance is a fait accompli.

     This New World Order is based on the transition from an old world economy based on oil, ìblack gold,î to a new world economy based on Plutonium, ìhot gold.î And thus the reason for the title of the book, BLACK GOLD HOT GOLD. The book is the documentary narrative of the wars leading to the establishment of the old world order based on oil in the 20th century, and the transition to the coming new world order based on Plutonium in the 21st century. Understanding of the past allows for easy vision of the future.
