causing a drought to start an uprising? why do that when we can freeze assets of a country's leader/s, effectively manipulate their economy, not physically harm any of its citizens other than what they do to themselves, and get lucky if they unite and rebel against their leader/s with US economic sanctions which are generally viewed as a positive measure by the international community. the international currency is the us dollar for a reason, but lots of people are impatient now and days. unfortunately.

It's not that simple these days unless you're going to have a media blackout on it. With 9/11 and increased public awareness of what happened before it to get certain laws passed and things done, people know that there's some shady shit going on behind the curtains that we're not meant to have any interest in or awareness of.
Anyone remember the partition of Sudan in 2011? Totally oil based and allowing big businesses to get in there and get it out for cheap. Remember that on the news? It was mentioned in the UK but not frequently or for long.
Even the most hardcore tinfoil hat wearer is going to have a job explaining to someone on the street that the weather can be controlled.
Also the US dollar took a knock as the international currency when Obama increased the debt ceiling. Printing mo' money just depreciates the currency (like 1kpp doesn't go as far as it used to etc)
TL;DR - if you see Bush/Towers on a poll, be sure to vote for it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
