EXCLUSIVE: Shocking proposal urges military leaders to attack major foreign power

According to reports out of top Chinese mainstream news outlets, the RAND Corporation recently presented a shocking proposal to the Pentagon in which it lobbied for a war to be started with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy and prevent a recession.

A fierce debate has now ensued in China about who that foreign power may be, with China itself as well as Russia and even Japan suspected to be the targets of aggression.

The reports cite French media news sources as having uncovered the proposal, in which RAND suggested that the $700 billion dollars that has been earmarked to bailout Wall Street and failing banks instead be used to finance a new war which would in turn re-invigorate the flagging stock markets.

The RAND Corporation is a notoriously powerful NGO with deep ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex as well as interlocking connections with the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations.


Current directors of RAND include Frank Charles Carlucci III, former Defense Secretary and Deputy Director of the CIA, Ronald L. Olson, Council on Foreign Relations luminary and former Secretary of Labor, and Carl Bildt, top Bilderberg member and former Swedish Prime Minister.

Carlucci was chairman of the Carlyle Group from 1989-2005 and oversaw gargantuan profits the defense contractor made in the aftermath of 9/11 following the invasion of Afghanistan. The Carlyle Group has also received investment money from the Bin Laden family.

Reportedly, the RAND proposal brazenly urged that a new war could be launched to benefit the economy, but stressed that the target country would have to be a major influential power, and not a smaller country on the scale of Afghanistan or Iraq.

The reports have prompted a surge of public debate and tension in China about the possibility that a new global conflict is on the horizon.

China’s biggest media outlet, Sohu.com, speculated that the target of the new war would probably be China or Russia, but that it could also be Iran or another middle eastern country. Japan was also mentioned as a potential target for the reason that Japan holds the most U.S. debt.

North Korea was considered as a target but ruled out because the scale of such a war would not be large enough for RAND’s requirements.

The reported RAND proposal dovetails with recent comments made by Joe Biden, Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright and others, concerning the “guarantee” that Barack Obama will face a major “international crisis” soon after taking office.

It also arrives following a warning from Michael Bayer, chairman of a key Pentagon advisory panel, who echoed the statement that the next administration will face an international crisis within months of taking office.

One would hope that good people, or at least sane people who don’t wish to start a global nuclear war, will oppose the RAND proposal, such as top the military generals who threatened to quit if Bush ordered an attack on Iran. Admiral William Fallon, the head of US Central Command, quit in March last year as a result of his opposition to Bush administration policy on Iran.

Most of the "RAND/Sperry" books that I've read have left the impression that they seem to feel [semi-Allah] "priveleged." I suspect that a couple of "competitors" are supporting "another" war economy... (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/yes1.gif)

[amazed!]

No surprise here. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/whistle.gif)

Yep, this is pure insanity! Who in their right mind wants to start a war, especially with nations that have and are willing to use nuclear weapons. But then I guess anything that makes money.

The possibility is very great that the Rand report is an Internet hoax. The rand corp did put out this 1975 report on terrorists using the nuclear option, real or imagined. Take into account how the gubbermint has used this as a template for scaring the bejesus out of everyday 'merkins.

Rand is not a lobby group only a think tank. They recommend but do not lobby.

Methinks you sell RAND Corporation a bit short Rico (but that's consistent with Rand's own "altruistic" claims). Uh oh, I know several of those names. (IMG:http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

It's a shell game, wrapped inside an enigma from what I've seen. There's a reason that I spell MIIC with one more 'I' than Ike did...

These guys have a great deal of power, whether it be at the Pentagon, on Capitol Hill or at the White House. They present (or prepare) testimony that ends up at Capitol Hill all the time. Now what term you use is just playing with words, and nothing more, IMO.

Those paranoid Chinese. If you've got an economic disaster with universal implications, you have to start a war of at least galactic proportions.
