Back in the day, I sailed on a couple of Pacific cruises with the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). A special shout-out to my shipmates on the Chuck Boat.

America’s relationship with China is a fascinating look at dysfunctional geopolitics.

On an economic level, our fortunes are tightly intertwined. As far back as 18 months ago, I reported about how, while China is America’s largest creditor — and we’re their largest market — China also been developing modified Dong Feng 21 missiles capable of extremely long flight. The potential of threat to Americans and American interests certainly didn’t go unnoticed by our government.

Starting tomorrow, The Word From the Trenches on Republic Broadcasting Network is moving to Studio A where we will now have three hours for our broadcast, 5:00 am to 8:00 am Pacific time, 8:00 am to 11:00 am Eastern.  This is a great opportunity to spread our message of freedom and liberty to a much vaster audience.

It is my hope that our people on this site will step up to make the broadcast a success.  If we can accomplish there the same thing we have on our comments section, our success is assured, as From the Trenches World Report has the best comment section on the net.

I have said it many times, From the Trenches belongs to all of us and the readers, commenters, and contributors make the site what it is and I am proud to be a participant.

Yahoo News  HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston police officer shot and killed a one-armed, one-legged man in a wheelchair Saturday inside a group home after police say the double amputee threatened the officer and aggressively waved a metal object that turned out to be a pen.

Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said the man cornered the officer in his wheelchair and was making threats while trying to stab the officer with the pen. At the time, the officer did not know what the metal object was that the man was waving, Silva said.

Steve Quayle Alerts  They likely figure as follows: rather than dealing with a massive protesting crowd in the streets – prevent this to begin with by keeping them in their homes to begin with.

They position snipers all over high places, or in choppers overhead, in any major metropolitan area – they publicize this fact on state T.V. – then when anyone so much as sticks their head outside of their window – well, that’s it for them. Pictures for all to witness at noon.

Occupy Corporatism – by Susanne Posel  As our Constitutional Republic descends into a total Fascist Dictatorship, there is a clear emergence of a police state to facilitate the instillation of this incredible takeover. Americans are monitored at every point of their existence; surfing the internet, speaking on the phone, text messages, emails, social media routines, CCTV cameras on every street corner, TSA internal checkpoints, Stasi networks through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) See Something, Say Something campaign. And the list goes on and on . . .

Coinciding with the severe restriction on our freedoms afforded us by our Constitution; the US government is amassing unmistakable amounts of armory designed for protection against an unknown threat. The DHS have acquired an estimated 2,500 heavily armored vehicles under the cover of Police Rescue.

Do you sit in traffic on the morning commute trying to get an inch ahead of the next guy, while he’s trying to get an inch ahead of you?  Would you consider fighting someone for a would-be holiday gift on Thanksgiving shopping day?  Do you have to endeavor to keep your work noticed so that you get the promotion instead of your co-worker getting it?  Are you sleepless many nights because your income doesn’t quite cover your outgo?  Are you so used to the dog-eat-dog world that you unconsciously nip at everyone around you?

What happens when  you are confronted with kindness?  Can you shed that persona needed in what you call the “real world” long enough to accept it, much less return it?  Do you take it as a sign of weakness and take advantage of the kind person?  Does kindness confuse you?

There is a lot of speculation as to the meaning behind the perceived disagreement between China and Japan over the Senkaku Islands.  Maybe we are not looking at the situation quite right.

It was recently reported that China is working on a deal wherein they will be purchasing crude oil from Mexico and will not be using the fiat US dollar in the exchange.

Is not the fact that Iran refuses to accept the central bank and the US dollar the reason the Zionists are chomping at the bit to invade them?  Was this not why we bombed Libya back into the third world?

As predicted right here on From the Trenches, the peoples of the Middle East and Northern Africa are uniting under a common flag and that would be the flag of Jihad and of course the mainstream propagandists are acting surprised.

For forty years the international elite, using the power of the United States, did implant puppet governments in these foreign states, and of course the illusion we were sold here at home, via the idiot box, was that westernization was being welcomed in these countries and that they were embracing democracy.  It is indeed fascinating that we call so many of these places democracies when they have actually all along been monarchies.

Well we have a new boogie man.  The mainstream propagandists from the false right are reporting that Sufyan Bin Qumu, a Libyan, was released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2007 and transferred into Libyan custody on the condition he be kept in jail. It is now being said that Sufyan Bin Qumu led or at least participated in the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi that killed US Ambassador Stevens and three of his staff.  And do you know what?  We shouldn’t believe one word of it.

Don’t forget, the Obama Administration is still insisting that this latest uprising in the Middle East is the result of a 14 minute clip from an anti-Muslim movie that may or may not have ever existed.  This is the false left-right paradigm in all its grandeur.

C4SS  In 2003, activist Rachel Corrie was run over and killed by an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) bulldozer.  Last month, an Israeli court dismissed a lawsuit by her family.   Rather than holding the Israeli government responsible for killing this woman, the court’s ruling blamed the victim.

Such victim blaming is appalling, but not surprising.  The Israeli government was the arbitrator in a dispute about itself.  Institutions cannot be held accountable for their abusive actions when they hold a monopoly on arbitration and legal accountability.  We have seen this repeatedly in cases of police brutality, prosecutorial misconduct, and war crimes.  The state holds a monopoly on law.  When it commits crimes, it won’t hold itself accountable.  Instead, it will blame the victim.

This is the direction that the world should be taking ie united against the zionist oppressor.  Basically both main religions are peaceful and loving, the hate that divides is coming from outside. 

The Catholic Spirit  Pope Benedict XVI said his three-day trip to Lebanon convinced him that now is the time for Christians and Muslims to bear witness together against violence and in favor of dialogue and peace.

Truther  SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Just two days after the failed 2012 DNC Terror Plot, potentially the most high profile UN meeting ever was scheduled for September 23, 2012, in New York City. The meeting date also falls onYom Kippur which completes the annual period known in Judaism as the Yamim Nora’im or “Days of Awe”. Historically, events involving U.S., Israeli and Iranian presidents are scheduled months in advance, but not this time.

Natural News  Eating genetically modified corn (GM corn) and consuming trace levels of Monsanto’s Roundup chemical fertilizer caused rats to develop horrifying tumors, widespread organ damage, and premature death. That’s the conclusion of a shocking new study that looked at the long-term effects of consuming Monsanto’s genetically modified corn.

The study has been deemed “the most thorough research ever published into the health effects of GM food crops and the herbicide Roundup on rats.” News of the horrifying findings is spreading like wildfire across the internet, with even the mainstream media seemingly in shock over the photos of rats with multiple grotesque tumors… tumors so large the rats even had difficulty breathing in some cases. GMOs may be the new thalidomide.

One in a million spouses, that is, would dare live the survivalist/self-sufficient lifestyle. The thought came to me as I watched my wife, Sheila, sweep the plywood floors of our hacienda style house and thought to myself, how many wives would even consider living this way?  The plywood floors will be replaced next spring with tapped clay floors – and that will present its own challenges – but really, when you break it down, how many of us have a spouse who would even for  minute consider the self-sufficient, minimalist life style?  Truth is, maybe 1 in a million.

Just take a look at survivalist single sites.  It’s mostly men looking for a woman to share their cabin in the wilderness with. Women have a nesting instinct (nothing sexist in that remark, it’s just a truth of physiology) and usually seem to know exactly what they want.  Men also know exactly what they want.  Regrettably, the two seldom find common ground.

To hear that snake Mitt Romney speak of our founding fathers as he is pushing for the elite, which he is a part of, to put the people of American back to work as slaves for food stamps is truly nauseating.  But then what, if anything, do these creatures say anymore that is not an insult to any free thinking American?

Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro AKA Barry the Rat the south side of Chicago back-alley treasonous vermin, who claimed he didn’t want military arrests and indefinite detention for American citizens without due process of law, yesterday got one of his comrades, posing as a federal judge, to put in an injunction on the injunction to stop the implementation of Sections 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA.

Before It’s News  – by Mort Amsel  China’s most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.

Protests against the Japanese government’s purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities. Some carried signs that read “Kill all Japanese,” and “Fight to the Death” over disputed islands. One sign urged China to threaten a nuclear strike against Japan.

The propagandists are at present attempting to shift our perception of reality in the United States.  Just a couple of weeks ago the picture was pretty clear.  Both the Demorats and Republiscums had stepped forward at their conventions to declare that they, through their private associations, rule the rest of us here in the United States under a system of elitist apartheid.  Pondering the election was a simple matter.  It is a fraud and no matter how the elite decide to end the production, the result is essentially the same.  The status quo, which we the people, being the majority, have already declared we will not accept.

Remember the months of propaganda put forth, just trying to create the illusion of a genuine issue for the election, just any semblance of difference between Romney and Obama other than the pigment of their skin.  And of course there is Benjamin Netanyahu running about like a spoiled child in a toy store who cannot get what he wants RIGHT NOW!
