with starting a blog but I got it off of Icke's web site. For those truthers who still think Icke is a screw ball check this out and get educated.

> THE GRAND CHESSBOARD ... GEORGIA IS JUST ANOTHER MOVE
>
> The even BIGGER picture about Georgia, from Icke's point of view.
> The David Icke Newsletter, August 17th 2008
>
> The events in Georgia over the last week are a classic of their kind in that they include all the main elements that I have been highlighting over the years.
>
> We have the little picture within the big picture; the mainstream media propaganda machine promoting the official, and blatantly untrue, version of what happened; and behind the scenes lurk the familiar names and organisations.
>
> Even the little picture has been grossly misrepresented, never mind how it plays out from a wider understanding of the game. We have been led to believe by repetition and manipulation that little Georgia and its 'rebel province' of South Ossetia was invaded by the big bad Russian bear and Russia was responsible for all that happened.
>
> Some 2,000 people have been killed and an estimated 60,000 displaced and it's all Russia's fault, we have been told. I have no brief for Russia and its de-facto dictator, Vladimir Putin, but there's more to know here.
>
> In fact, it was the Georgian President, Mikeil Saakashvili, who ordered a military offensive against South Ossetia, which is recognised internationally as a province of Georgia, but has sought to operate autonomously as its own State, much to the fury of the Georgian authorities in the capital, Tbilisi.
>
> South Ossetia is just across the Caucasus Mountains from North Ossetia, which remained part of Russia after the break-up of the former Soviet Union.
>
> Moscow has issued Russian passports to a lot of people of South Ossetia, which has only been able to function as a self-declared 'independent' State because of Russian support. The passports, and the fact that most South Ossetians look to Russia, not Georgia, as their source of support and protection, allowed the Russian Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin, and his puppet President, Dmitry Medvedev, to say they had to 'save our people' after Georgia ordered the military attack on South Ossetia on the night of August 7th, just as the Olympic Games was starting in Beijing.
>
> Russian forces invaded South Ossetia on August 8th, forcing the Georgian army to flee, and crossed into undisputed Georgian territory where they remain at the time of writing. Russian troops also moved into Abkhazia, which declared independence from Georgia in 1999, but the Georgian government still claims ownership and authority.
>
> A 'ceasefire agreement' was allegedly brokered by the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, who is currently also front man for the European Union with France occupying the six-monthly revolving presidency of the superstate. But, to quote a line from a Bonnie Tyler song, the whole situation is about as peaceful as 'sitting in a powder keg giving off sparks'.
>
> The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has now said that Russia will support South Ossetia and Abkhazia in their efforts to secure independence from Georgia and that means the Georgian government can forget any idea of forcing its two rebel provinces back into line. This provides so much potential for future conflict.
>
> But, of course, this is not about what is right for Georgia or South Ossetia or Abkhazia, and certainly has nothing to do with the best interests of the people. It is part of the global chess game. For Georgia read the United States and Israel; and for South Ossetia and Abkhazia read Russia, which will now control in all but name these two 'independent' provinces of Georgia.
>
> So what is all this really about?
>
> This is the land mass known as Eurasia which covers 10.6% of the Earth's surface, comprises 36.2% of its land area and is home to more than 4.6 billion people or 69% of the human population. Er, it's big.
>
> The United States has been seen as the world's most powerful country, at least up to now, but it is in Eurasia that the real power lies and that's where the unspoken war has been going on decade after decade between the United States, Russia and increasingly China, too.
>
> Oh yes, the countries and regions in conflict, turmoil or dispute may officially be places like Georgia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea and so on. But the forces behind them, moving the pieces on the chessboard, are the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Russia and China.
>
> So many of these pawns or targets of the major powers, like Georgia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Iran have either been involved in wars, or are being targeted for wars, and they have a major factor in common - they border the Caspian Sea or they are crucial to oil and gas pipelines existing or planned from the land-locked Caspian to the open ocean.
>
> Why? The Caspian region has massive oil and gas reserves and whoever controls them will have enormous influence, indeed control, with regard to the wider world.
>
> The Caspian region has become the pig trough of the New World Order with the power blocs installing the 'leaders' and regimes in their proxy countries and using them to fight their battles for control of the oil and gas fields.
>
> The conflicts between Russia and its own rebel region of Chechnya, which spilled over into the Russian province of Dagestan on the Caspian Sea coast, were all part of this and both of those regions border the latest point of conflict, Georgia.
>
> What has happened in Georgia is straight from the blueprint for what happens everywhere in this chess game played by the United States, Europe, Russia and China. They either install a regime to take over a country on their behalf or arm and fund 'rebels' to wage war against governments they wish to topple - which are themselves controlled by one of the other competing power blocs.
>
> There is no better example of this than Afghanistan where the United States armed, funded and trained the so-called 'Mujahideen' fighters to oppose the occupation of the country by the Soviet Union from 1979 to 1989. The American government and its vassal state of Saudi Arabia installed a Mujahideen 'leader' called Osama bin Laden to be the public focus of the 'rebellion'.
>
> The US and British-trained Mujahideen later became the Taliban and what has been called 'Al-Qaeda', a name that means 'database' because it was created from the CIA database of names of the Mujahideen trained to fight the Soviet Union.
>
> The man who instigated all this was Zbigniew Brzezinski, the National Security Advisor to US President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981. He revealed to a French news magazine, Le Nouvel Observateur, ten years ago that he and US covert operations 'knowingly increased the probability' that the Soviet Union would invade Afghanistan by beginning the arming and funding of the Mujahideen before the invasion.
>
> The idea was entice the Soviets to invade Afghanistan to stop the covert manipulation of armed opposition to the then Soviet-controlled Afghan regime in Kabul. The Soviets took the bait and ten years of slaughter unfolded which cost at least a million Afghan lives.
>
> The world media reported this as the Soviet Union v Afghan rebels, but in truth it was the Soviet Union v the United States. The Mujahideen were, in effect, America's frontline troops. The exchange between Brzezinski and Le Nouvel Observateur captures the mentality of the crazies behind manipulated conflicts like that in Georgia this week:
>
> Q: The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention. In this period you were the national security adviser to President Carter. You therefore played a role in this affair. Is that correct?
>
> Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 December 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.
>
> Q: Despite this risk, you were an advocate of this covert action. But perhaps you yourself desired this Soviet entry into war and looked to provoke it?
>
> Brzezinski: It isn't quite that. We didn't push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.
>
> Q: When the Soviets justified their intervention by asserting that they intended to fight against a secret involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, people didn't believe them. However, there was a basis of truth. You don't regret anything today?
>
> Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea. It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter: We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam War. Indeed, for almost ten years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the break-up of the Soviet empire.
>
> To people like Brzezinski it's all a game, no matter the scale of slaughter and suffering it causes, and no wonder he produced a book called The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives (New York: Basic Books, 1997). That is what the world and human life is to these mentally deranged fanatics - a chess board.
>
> And what was Brzezinski's focus on this 'Grand Chessboard' described in his book? A vast area of the world called ... Eurasia.
>
> It was what he called 'the chief prize'.
>
> Anyone with a desire to understand the global conspiracy must know the background to Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Warsaw-born son of a Polish diplomat, Tadeusz Brzezinski. Father Brzezinski was posted with his family to Germany from 1931 to 1935 during the rise of the Nazis and then to the Soviet Union from 1936 to 1938 during Stalin's 'Great Purge' in which he killed between a million and two million of his own people.
>
> Tadeusz Brzezinski was eventually posted to Canada and his son began to make a name for himself in North America after becoming an American citizen. Zbigniew Brzezinski, the foreign policy 'sage' and 'statesmen', was spawned from the British-based Round Table network that includes the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission.
>
> By 1973, Brzezinski was so deeply involved with the network that he co-founded the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller, and when Jimmy Carter, a self-proclaimed 'eager student' of Brzezinski, became the first Trilateral Commission President of the United States in the 1976 election, he appointed his foreign policy guru Brzezinski to be his National Security Advisor.
>
> In the background: Brzezinski, Carter's puppeteer
>
> Brzezinski wrote a book in 1970 called Between Two Ages: America's Role in the Technetronic Era in which, nearly 40 years ago, he described the global society that he and his masters were plotting to impose. He wrote:
>
> 'The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.'
>
> He also said in the same book in 1970:
>
> 'Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites ... [Whose] ties cut across national boundaries ... It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook ... The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty ... Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.'
>
> Both quotes describe where we are now all these decades later because Brzezinski already knew what the plan was and he has worked ever since to bring it about.
>
> And so to this week in Georgia, which is located in what Brzezinski calls the 'Eurasian Balkans', the region around the Caspian Sea with its fantastic reserves of oil and gas. Brzezinski wrote in his book, The Grand Chessboard:
>
> '... how America "manages" Eurasia is critical. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. A mere glance at the map also suggests that control over Eurasia would almost automatically entail Africa's subordination, rendering the Western Hemisphere and Oceania geopolitically peripheral to the world's central continent. About 75 per cent of the world's people live in Eurasia, and most of the world's physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for about three-fourths of the world's known energy resources.'
>
> Brzezinski said that for the US to retain its power in the Middle and Near East and the Caspian region they had to stop countries coming together under central control or agreed alliances that could unite to drive America out. His strategy to stop this was simple - divide and rule. Or, in his own words ...:
>
> '... To put it in a terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together.'
>
> The control and manipulation of Georgia is part of this strategy and so you won't be surprised at all to know that the Georgian President, Mikhail Saakashvili, who ordered the attack on South Ossetia, is a glove puppet of ... Zbigniew Brzezinski and his Illuminati associates.
>
> And Brzezinski is the power behind ... Barack Obama, the likely next President of the United States. The moves on the chessboard are now becoming a blur, so fast are they happening.
>
> Mikhail Saakashvili was brought to power in Georgia by a CIA-engineered 'Peoples' Revolution', or the 'Revolution of Roses', brought about by mass public demonstrations against the sitting President, Eduard Shevardnadze. It came to a head when Shevardnadze fled the parliament building after demonstrators holding roses, including Saakashvili, took it over.
>
> The red rose is a major Illuminati symbol and one of their elite secret societies is called the Order of the Rose.
>
> The Georgian flag, the symbol of the Knights Templar secret society and also known as the flag of St George, flies over a mass demonstration that brought Brzezinski's man, Saakashvili, to power. The sitting president, Eduard Shevardnadze, resigned on Georgia's St George's Day in 2003.
>
> One of the major funders behind the Rose Revolution was the Jewish Illuminati financier, George Soros. He has a complex network of foundations and organisations through which he manipulates countries across the world in league with the Elite groupings in the United States and Israel. It was this Soros network, especially his Open Society Institute, that trained and funded Georgian students in the art of mass protest and funded the opposition TV station that mobilized the demonstrations.
>
> George Soros
>
> As Zaza Gachechiladze, editor-in-chief of The Georgian Messenger, said: 'It's generally accepted public opinion here that Mr. Soros is the person who planned Shevardnadze's overthrow.'
>
> Soros was also, like Brzezinski, a close 'associate' of Mikhail Saakashvili, the man they installed as Georgian President, (in the master-slave definition of 'associate'). Saakashvili is a graduate of George Washington University in Washington DC and Columbia University Law School in New York (the university of Brzezinski and Obama). He was one of a number of American-trained agents controlled by the Brzezinski-Soros network who were prepared and developed to serve them in the new Georgian government after the 'Rose Revolution'.
>
> By the way, Brzezinski is Barack Obama's 'Foreign Policy Advisor' (in truth his mentor and controller) and guess who is one of Obama's major sources of funding? Yes, George Soros.
>
> So, of course, Obama sang from their song-sheet this week when he blamed Russia for everything that went on in Georgia and South Ossetia.
>
> The 'Rose Revolution' was not a revolution by the people at all. The 'people' were played like a violin. It was a coup on Georgia by the Illuminati networks in America and Israel and it was achieved courtesy of the Georgian people they now control and manipulate. It has happened so many times in so many countries.
>
> Mikeil Saakashvili
>
> Saakashvili sent Georgian troops to Iraq to support the American and British occupation (the Americans flew them back after Russia invaded) and he has pressed for membership of NATO. Whether this fool tool of Washington and Tel Aviv fully knows or not, he is simply being used in a much bigger game called 'bait the Russians'.
>
> When Saakashvili's military attack on South Ossetia backfired (at least from the Georgian peoples' point of view) as the Russians retaliated, it was America who led the protests on Georgia's behalf and sold the lie about Russia being 100% to blame for what has happened. Brzezinski was out of the traps immediately as he compared Putin to Hitler and Stalin.
>
> And it was America's associates, Israel, who trained Georgian forces that carried out the attack in South Ossetia. The Georgian Minister, Temur Yakobashvili, who is Jewish, praised Israel for its role in training Georgian troops. Speaking in Hebrew, he told Israel Army Radio.: 'Israel should be proud of its military, which trained Georgian soldiers'.
>
> One report claims that some 1,500 'advisors' from Blackwater, the infamous US 'private military/security' operation, have been on the ground in Georgia and massive shipments of arms and ammunition have been supplied by the United States in the last 18 months.
>
> There is no way that Saakashvili ordered his troops to attack South Ossetia to spark this crisis without getting support and approval, maybe even direct instruction, from the United States and Israel. He is their man and he does what they say.
>
> The US-Israel cabal is doing the same throughout the world to achieve its end of global domination for the Illuminati agenda and wars galore would not have happened without them and their controllers, the Rothschild dynasty.
>
> You'll hear people like Brzezinski criticise Israel to publicly distance himself from his Israel connection, but the Rothschilds control Israel as they control the Round Table organisations like the Trilateral Commission that Brzezinski founded on their behalf.
>
> All pawns together.
>
> It's all smoke and mirrors and while the Georgia attacks on South Ossetia are being seen as a disaster for the Georgian people because of the Russian response, and a disaster for America and its ambitions around the Caspian Sea, there is another way to look at this.
>
> Firstly, it doesn't matter to the forces that control Brzezinski and Soros if what they do makes the Georgian people suffer. That doesn't register with them when they are planning their dastardly deeds. It's simply not a factor that's ever considered.
>
> And second, if you look beyond 'America' to the forces that control America and Russia and China and the European Union and Israel it has all worked out rather well. They have now triggered more hostility, unrest, fear and mistrust in this, to them, crucial part of the world. In short, they have divided and ruled yet again.
>
> They also have American troops and ships arriving in Georgia for 'humanitarian' reasons in the wake of the conflict and this is another step towards the Third World War that all this global manoeuvring is eventually leading to - the war to destroy America as a 'superpower' and bring in the world government dictatorship.
>
> The agreement announced amid the Georgian conflict on Thursday that the United States is to locate a missile 'defence shield' in Poland was designed to increase tension and hostility with Russia. It's called a 'defence shield', but the Russians know it will be able to fire missiles at them, just as they know that the United States and Israel were behind the actions of Georgia.
>
> Brzezinski's stated plan for Eurasia is only one level of the game as it relates to the United States. At higher levels, indeed to Brzezinski in private, the United States is nothing more than another pawn to be played off against Russia, China, Iran and whoever else, to install the goal of a world fascist tyranny.
>
> The ultimate force of control and manipulation is not even on this planet or in this reality, so no matter what level the game is played in the 'physical world' it is still not the top of the pyramid and thus does not have the full picture.
>
> What we see in this 'world' in terms of manipulators and manipulated are only different levels of pawns manipulating other pawns to advance the will of the other-dimensional kings and queens that most of them don't even know exist.
>
> As Manly P. Hall, the 33rd Degree Freemason and 'Masonry's Greatest Philosopher', said:
>
> '... it is so difficult to determine the position of the ancient initiates ... They are the invisible powers behind the thrones of earth, and men are but marionettes, dancing while the invisible ones pull the strings. We see the dancer, but the master mind that does the work remains concealed by the cloak of silence.'
>
> Nothing is what it seems and that is certainly the case with what has happened in Georgia. It needs to be seen on so many levels, including where Georgia is located in historical terms. The Illuminati families are obsessed with their genetics, their symbolism and with the lands important to their history and so the game plays out on those levels, also.
>
> Many of the major Illuminati bloodlines, the ones behind the occupation of Iraq, came out of ancient Sumer and Babylon - the land we now call Iraq.
>
> Sumerians settled in the Caucasus Mountains region and became known as the Khazars before moving northwards through the centuries to become the East and West European Ashkenazi Jews, including the Rothschilds. Their land of ancient Khazaria is in part now called ... Georgia.
>
> Those Khazars went on to people and control another land closely connected to what happened in Georgia this week ... Israel.
>
> And the elite of the former Khazars have massive influence in the government of ... the United States.
>
> There are so many aspects to this, but the most important is the plan for another world war and in that context the 'Brzezinski doctrine' for Eurasia and the region around the Caspian Sea can be seen in another light. He says in The Grand Chessboard:
>
> 'Potentially, the most dangerous scenario would be a grand coalition of China, Russia, and perhaps Iran, an `anti-hegemonic' coalition united not by ideology but by complementary grievances. It would be reminiscent in scale and scope of the challenge posed by the Sino-Soviet bloc, though this time China would likely be the leader and Russia the follower. Averting this contingency, however remote it may be, will require a display of U.S. geostrategic skill on the western, eastern, and southern perimeters of Eurasia simultaneously.'
>
> Brzezinski appears to be describing the possibilities here with regard to America's best interests, but if you look behind the appearance of him being an 'American' (he's not, he's from Poland) and understand that he represents a force that spans national borders and has no allegiance to America, what he is describing is the perfect trigger for the Third World War that is designed to destroy America as we know it.
>
> This week's events in Georgia have taken that outcome another major step closer and when you appreciate that if 'Obama' is elected in November then America is actually putting Brzezinski and Soros in the White House, you can see the potential for global mayhem.
