A lot of the rumours emanating from the US seem to be patent nonsense (especially about foreign troops already being in place).
HOWEVER... The following are all readily verifiable developments in the past few weeks:
1. US draft senate bill to enable US military to arrest and detain indefinitely any US citizen anywhere on earth, without charge or trial. Whilst critics of this are aghast at the sheer fascism of it and the affront to the Bill of Rights it presents, many if not most are overlooking the rationale behind its geographical scope, which to me at least clearly portends major global conflict. Why else do they say it applies worldwide?
2. USA agrees with Oz government to create a permanent Marines presence in the far north of Australia. Why? And why now?
3. Canadian PM in Washington DC last week to arrange treaty to permit US military ops across border in Canada. Why? And why now?
4. Russia gets very aggressive in rhetoric about putting its own missile defence on alert, especially in eastern Europe. Why, and why now?
Just looks ominous...
