“The bay-trees in our country are all withered, And meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven. The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth, And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change. Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap; The one in fear to lose what they enjoy, The other to enjoy by rage and war. These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.” MenLooksWarCountryEarthFallHeavenStarsEnjoyLosesRichTreeKingsMoonRageOur CountryProphetLeapFearfulPaleBloodyRich ManFrightWitheredMeteorsRuffian Book:The Oxford Shakespeare: Richard II Source: The Oxford Shakespeare: Richard II

“Since the advent of the atomic bomb, the United States has always needed two kinds of enemies. On one level, it has needed a tactical enemy that it can go out and fight in the field in a shooting war. Since 1945, these enemies have been created and appeared as North Korea, North Vietnam, Grenada, El Salvador, Panama, Iraq and now Colombia. On another level, however, the US needs a strategic enemy that will justify outrageous expenditures of capital for strategic weapon systems like ICBMs, Trident submarines and "Star Wars" missile defence systems.” NeedsKindHas BeensTwoWarStatesFightingStarsLevelsUnitedEnemyUnited StatesFieldsNeededWeaponsIraqShootingBombsJustifyVietnamKoreaDefenceStrategicNorth KoreaOutrageousMissilesAdventAtomic BombExpendituresColombiaTacticalSubmarinesPanamaEl SalvadorGrenada Author:Michael Ruppert
