Welcome to The Daily Wrap Up, a concise show dedicated to bringing you the most relevant independent news, as we see it, from the last 24 hours (9/4/18).

Today's show opens with a clip of General Wesley Clark revealing the US plan to topple seven countries in five years, and this video is nothing new, most of you have likely seen it many times before, but for those who haven’t, hopefully it will open your eyes to the real plan that is under way.

Whether we are talking about the Greater Israel Project, or competing gas or oil pipelines, or just US world dominance (or more accurately a combination of all three) what we are seeing take place in Syria today has been planned for a very long time. It has nothing to do with fighting ISIS. It has nothing to do with saving civilians. There are mountains of easily researchable evidence to demonstrate that the US oligarchy has planned to carry out regime change in Syria for decades, if not more, and that all the wildly disingenuous reasons given to the American people to justify the illegal occupation of Syria are deceptions; lies meant to emotionally manipulate and manufacture consent, just as we saw in many other countries now left in ruin following US "liberation."

One of the articles I discuss in today's show, written by James Corbett, is called, The Secret Lie That Started the Afghan War. It talks about many important things, but what stood out to me was the discussion about al-Qaeda — a group that was verifiably created, funded and supported by the US to use against the Soviet Union — and how it was used as the culprit for 9/11, which made Afghanistan the focus, and under article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, the US called NATO into the fight as well.

Article 5, which stated that if one NATO member was attacked all were obligated by the North Atlantic Treaty to respond, had never before been invoked. This attack was used, as I see it, to turn NATO into what it was likely designed to become, the international military force used to carry out the US/Israeli agenda.

The “evidence” used to prove al-Qaeda was behind the attack was of course classified and kept from public view, if it existed at all -- which it turns out that it did not. Corbett demonstrates that a report was sent out to every American ally by the US the day before Article 5 was invoked, which essentially told everyone exactly what to say, and how to say it, and this propaganda release is only now coming to light, and we can now see that Ambassador Taylor literally read directly from this report, "The facts are clear and compelling." It was used as the justification for the entire Afghan war, which became the war on terror, and it is all based on nothing but US talking points with nothing to back it up. Article 5, and through it all the NATO countries, are still being used to carry out the US agenda to this day.

Also important to point out, and made abundantly more clear with today’s exposure of the true nature of the US intelligence community and their history of and general propensity for lying as a matter of policy to achieve their greater and often secret political goals, is that the entire basis for Osama Bin Laden being used as the culprit and the justification for invading Afghanistan, rested on the information provided by the intelligence community, or rather the forced narrative they sent out. Also noteworthy is that Osama bin Laden himself was an intelligence community asset, dating all the way back to al-Qaeda’s creation.

Former national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, well before 9/11 and the Afghan war in 1997, pinpointed Afghanistan and its neighbors -- an area he called the Eurasian Balkans -- as the most geopolitically significant region to control for its gas and oil reserves and mineral deposits. He argued that some form of extended American military intervention in the region would be necessary, warning that a global consensus on its foreign policy imperatives would be impossible, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.

Cue 9/11, or as PNAC called it, a new Pearl Harbor.

As James Corbett puts it:

The invasion of Afghanistan was not about Al Qaeda. It was not the response of the US government to the “evidence” connecting the Taliban to Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda to 9/11 that was missing from Ambassador Taylor’s report. It was a geopolitical gambit in search of a justification. And the events of 9/11 were the justification that the US used to sell NATO, and the world, on the war in Afghanistan.

Worse, 9/11 was the excuse for the entire war of terror itself, the complete transformation of the Middle East that is taking place thanks to American military might. The Taylor report was a blank check drawn on the events of that day. A check that is still being cashed.

With this topic, and all of the topics in today's show, bring this all back to bear on Syria and what is taking place there currently, with the same career liars yet again leading the charge, and the tremendous amounts of evidence we have to suggest this is a deception. Those who regularly watch this show have seen me present that evidence on countless occasions, and hopefully have the fortitude to do their own research in addition and see this for themselves. In any case, keep this verifiably long-sought goal of overthrowing of the Syrian government in your mind, and how it seems the very same tactics from Afghanistan and many other illegally US occupied nations are being used, as you watch today's episode.

As always, take the information discussed in the video below and research it for yourself, and come to your own conclusions. Anyone telling you what the truth is, or claiming they have the answer, is likely leading you astray, for one reason or another. Stay Vigilant.
