onditions that farmers and ranchers say are comparable to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

Ranchers are turning to desperate expedients. Withered sunflower plants, normally raised for seeds and oil, are being fed to livestock. Cattle are being hauled hundreds of miles to healthier feedlots, despite soaring fuel costs. Water is being poured in to refill natural watering holes that have gone dry. The governor of South Dakota even issued a proclamation declaring a week to pray for rain.

Despite these efforts, many ranchers are being forced to sell their herds and get out of the business. At one livestock market, 37,000 cattle were sold this summer, compared with 7000 last year.

The hardest-hit states, Nebraska and the Dakotas, have been hit by several dry years, a winter with little snow, and now record heat. Recent rains in some areas have been described as merely "a drip in a bucket."

Even the Corn Palace of Mitchell, South Dakota, a tourist attraction normally wrapped in hundreds of thousands of ears of corn, had to announce that it would not redecorate this year due to a lack of corn."

This news corresponds with reports from the United States on their preparations for full scale war with Iran, and as we can read as reported by the Washington Times News Service in their article titled "Gathering nuclear storm", and which says:

"Mr. Bush believes deeply that Iran poses an existential threat to close ally Israel. Congress recently voted a resolution that said an attack on Israel is an attack on the United States. Mr. Bush also believes Iran is determined to sabotage American hopes of establishing a new democratic Middle East.

So odds makers bet sometime before the end of his second term President Bush will order a massive air attack on a wide range of carefully selected targets in Iran, in partnership with Israel, and against the advice of many of his advisers. Mr. Bush is convinced a nuclear Iran would pose an intolerable threat to U.S. national security and, as one former intelligence topsider put it, "he is firm in his faith that God agrees with him on that point, and certain that history will eventually recognize and properly appreciate his courageous and visionary leadership."

The American President’s belief that his Christian God agrees with him on attacking Iran is being met by an equally devout, though Muslim, Iranian President who has today rejected the West’s final offer of peace ahead of the United Nations August 31st deadline for Iran to cease nuclear production.

Russian Military Analysts have reported that the combined United States-Israeli plan to isolate Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, prior to the Iranian War, has been met with success as American Military Leaders prepare to shore up their Western Front, and as we can read also as reported by the Navy Times News Service in their article titled "Wasp bound for Lebanon", and which says:

"Nearly 1,300 sailors — including Wasp’s crew, a Helicopter Mine Countermeasure Squadron 14 detachment, Assault Craft Units 2 and 4 and a Fleet Medical Team — will leave Norfolk Naval Station as early as Friday, according to the Navy’s 2nd Fleet.

The surge comes at the request of European Command, which today assumed command of U.S. military forces operating off Lebanon and in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Those forces had previously been under Central Command because Lebanon lies in its area of operations."

In response to these latest aggressive moves, by both the United States and its chief ally Israel, Russian Military Forces have joined with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan under the Collective Security Treaty Organisation to prepare the defense of the oil rich Caspian Sea region, and which has always been the intended target of the United States as its oil supplies have reached near record low levels.

China, fearing the loss of vital Middle Eastern oil and by itself nearing a state of ‘Economic Warfare’ with the United States, has begun attempts to disrupt the American War Machine, and as we can read as reported by US Government Computer News Service in their article titled "Pentagon warns of Internet incursion by Chinese cyber-terrorists", and which says:

"US Defense Department officials earlier this week told Government Computer News they have evidence that civilian network incursion units operating inside China have launched attacks against one of the main Internet arteries maintained by the DOD: the Non-classified IP Router Network (NIPRNet), and thus far have successfully downloaded up to 20 TB of data, after hitting it with as many as three million scans per day.

"China has downloaded 10 to 20 terabytes of data from the NIPRNet (DOD's Non-Classified IP Router Network)," said Maj. Gen. William Lord, director of information, services and integration in the Air Force's Office of Warfighting Integration and Chief Information Officer, during the recent Air Force IT Conference in Montgomery, Ala.

"They're looking for your identity so they can get into the network as you," said Lord, adding that Chinese hackers had yet to penetrate DOD's secret, classified network. "There is a nation-state threat by the Chinese."

Not being understood by the American peoples about their Nations dire situation with China is how quickly their, the Americans, economy is set to implode, and as we can glimpse by the American Newsweek News Service in their article titled "China's Wealth Woes", and which says:

"Sometime over the next few weeks, a shipment of lawn furniture, brake pads, lamps or the like is going to make history. The manufacturer, one among tens of thousands churning out product 24/7 in China's humming coast-al cities, will fill an order bound for the United States, take payment in American dollars and add a 12th zero to Beijing's foreign reserve—pushing the tally over the $1 trillion mark.

Beijing's growing dollar hoard represents the most dangerous imbalance in today's global economy. The United States is both importing heavily from China and borrowing heavily from the country to finance those purchases, pushing the dollar down and putting the two economic superpowers on a collision course."

To a greater understanding of all of these events, however, rests with the United States Military Leaderships planning for the complete break-up of their Nation into sectarian violence and Civil War, and which must happen for the plans being made for the peoples of North America to be merged into a ‘Super State’ between the governments of the United States, Mexico and Canada to be completed.

Virtually unnoticed by the American peoples is that the plan for their demise is even now being finalized, and as we can read as reported by the World Net Daily News Service in their article titled "America's infrastructure fire sale", and which says:

"The Chicago Skyway Bridge is a 7.8-mile toll road built in 1958 to connect the Dan Ryan Expressway to the Indiana Tollway. In 2004, the facility was leased for 99 years, for a one-time payment of $1.83 billion, to the Skyway Concession Company, LLC, owned by Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte S.A., and Macquarie Infrastructure Group. This same consortium won a 75-year lease for the 157-mile Indiana Tollway for $3.85 billion.

Cintra is a Spanish company that has 21 similar highway projects in six countries. Macquarie Infrastructure Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Bank, an Australian corporation with assets in excess of $100 billion. Cintra has also formed a consortium with Zachry Construction Company in San Antonio, Texas.

In December 2004, the Texas Transportation Commission selected this consortium to develop the Trans-Texas Corridor. The proposal included a bid of $1.2 billion to build and operate the first segment of this facility as a toll road. Zachry Construction Company has invested heavily in political campaigns of key Texas officials. The Trans-Texas Corridor is a member of the North American SuperCorridor Coalition.

Greg Carey, managing director at Goldman, Sachs & Company, told the Texas Transportation Forum last June, that this method of financing should not be limited to highways, but should include airports, bridges, tunnels, parking facilities, ports, rail, water and sewer systems, power facilities, hospitals, government-controlled liquor stores and "... anything else that produces revenue."

The American Water Works Company, a subsidiary of Germany's utility mega-corporation RWE, already provides water to 18 million Americans in 29 states. Carey also told the group that all but 14 states had already changed their laws, or were now considering legislation, to allow this "international" financing of public infrastructure."

Though many in American have sought to warn their fellow citizens of the dire fate facing them, their calls have gone virtually unnoticed, including the famous American commentator, Patrick Buchanan, who has warned:

"This is a "mind-boggling concept," exploded Lou Dobbs. It must cause Americans to think our political and academic elites have "gone utterly mad." What had detonated the mild-mannered CNN anchor?

Robert Pastor, vice chair of the Council on Foreign Relations Task Force on North America, had just appeared before a panel of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to call for erasing all U.S. borders and a merger of the United States, Mexico and Canada in a North American union stretching from Prudhoe Bay to Guatemala.

Under the Pastor-CFR plan, the illegal alien invasion would be solved by eliminating America's borders and legalizing the invasion. We would no longer defend the Rio Grande."

Today these once great American people have come to resemble goats and sheep being led into the slaughterhouse, rather than those of their historic ancestors who created the mightiest Nation our World has ever known.

As more of their resistance leaders are imprisoned in their vast Gulag, it is shocking to hear reports from America that echo those of the German peoples caught under the brutal Nazi Regime, and who likewise, and until the devastating end of their Nation during World War II, lived in total denial of what they had become and the true character of the evil monsters who ruled them.

With a catastrophic drought turning their agricultural heartland into a Dust Bowl; with their Leaders claiming their wars are understood by God; with their economy built on nothing more than what they can consume; with their industrial heartland (and the jobs the once employed) all sold to Nations around the world; to the collapse of the value of their most prized possession (and security) their very homes; with their having become the most obese country the world has ever seen; to their Leaders selling the very American infrastructure of their people to foreign powers; with over 60 percent of them on anti-depressant medicines; with over 70 percent of their food being genetically modified; with their human rights and liberties being taken from them on a daily basis; with their no longer having the rights to raise their own children; with their access to justice denied by their courts; with all these, and so much more, one can only wonder if indeed the entire peoples of the United States have gone completely insane.
