America, leave Iran alone!
October 25, 2007
I watched the BBC with mounting horror last night as America’s Secretary of Disaster Capitalism, Condoleeza Rice, ‘declared war’ on Iran by announcing the imposition of sanctions that are designed and intended to do nothing more than provoke Iran and provide Fascist Imperial America, the Duperpower (opposite of Superpower: a duplicitous, deceitful, dishonest rogue nation whose words of ideal mean nothing) with the opportunity to begin World War III.
“Under the influence of politicians, masses of people tend to ascribe the responsibility for wars to those who wield power at any given time. In World War I it was the munitions industrialists; in World War II it was the psychopathic generals who were said to be guilty. This is passing the buck.
The responsibility for wars falls solely upon the shoulders of these same masses of people, for they have all the necessary means to avert war in their own hands. In part by their apathy, in part by their passivity, and in part actively, these same masses of people make possible the catastrophes under which they themselves suffer more than anyone else. To stress this guilt on the part of the masses of people, to hold them solely responsible, means to take them seriously. On the other hand, to commiserate masses of people as victims, means to treat them as small, helpless children. The former is the attitude held by genuine freedom fighters; the latter that attitude held by power-thirsty politicians.” - Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism
I want to see Bush and his cronies in the International Courts at Nuremberg for War Crimes, crimes against humanity and the subversion of democracy. The last time Fascism raised its head in the world, the world said “No,” and for 5 years fought to create freedom and liberate the German people from tyranny, millions died. An attack on Iran today is going to be Poland in 1939 all over again. I hope you will all join me in telling the Duperpower to leave Iran alone.

American Corporations also seem to love exploiting child labour. e.g. “The Gap”
On the subject at hand, Bush is an egomaniac, but that’s perhaps stating the obvious.
How the heck did this man get into power?
Hi Cabe, yes, I am very aware of US garment/fashion industry’s complicity in modern slavery. Check out the video: Behind the Labels: Garment Workers on US Saipan
More info on this is here.
The Labor Department of the United States government waived the labor laws so the big garment companies could set up slave labor and deceive Philipinos, Chinese, and other uneducated people from third world countries. They have to buy their job. And having bought their job they are now indentured and enslaved. It is an outrageous practice. But it also goes on in China with US corporations who do business there as the documentary ‘China Blue’ explains (saw it’s premiere at a film festival in 2006). I no longer wear blue jeans.
The USA is quite simply the most deceptive nation on earth. They NEVER abolished slavery and any claim to the contrary is just more of their semantic games an illusion like practically everything else the USA does. They say they are a Christian nation, but the reality is they worship Mars, the God of War. I do not buy US labels. I do not buy US record labels. I watch their movies to see what chicanery they’re planning next and how they continue to glorify war and sell American Mythology to their own people and the rest of the world. But I do have American friends, who are good, reliable honest people, and we talk about the state of US culture and they are not a happy people; I am most concerned about their welfare.
As to “Iran funding terror” — the five nations of the UN Security Council are the largest funders of terror in the world, and the USA is the principal supplier of weapons in the world–war is the USA’s primary business. How can we have peace in the world so long as this is the case?
You asked, “How the heck did this man get into power?” Um, according to some, he didn’t get elected. He got erected. ThomasPaine.com was at one time a site that among others did some excellent analysis and reportage on this a few years back. Now it’s a finance site. Gah!
I can’t remember where I heard it, but someone somewhere, maybe on a messageboard, quoted the name of a man who is the “real” president, a guy who tells Bush what to do.
Okay, I found the site that did the analysis; occasionally IR2F. But this time R2F. The site is: TomPaine.com and they did a brilliant time-line analysis of the Bush “elections” which made history by subverting democratic process and thus broke democracy in America. I remember watching Vice President Al Gore for hours on CSPAN receiving the letters of complaint from voters who had been struck from the electoral rolls when they came to present their letters. For him to accept them, they had to have been signed off by a Congressman. Not one did sign off. So Gore has to stand there and listen to each of the voter’s representatives present their complaint and when each letter was discovered not to have been signed he had to decline the acceptance of the letter. To find out exactly how one has been defeated and to find that even at the level of congress American democracy had been subverted must have been one of the most unimaginably horrible days of his life; no wonder he stated “I’ve fallen out of love with politics.” I would suggest Axl Rose retitle his album and release it when democracy returns to America.
Just wanted to update this article with this information from Information Clearing House…
Bolton Smears ElBaradei As Iran Apologist:
Two weeks ago, Mohamed ElBaradei, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on CNN that an attack on Iran would “lead absolutely to disaster.” He added that there is no evidence of a “concrete, active nuclear weapon program” going on inside Iran.

At the time ElBaradei was on Australian news, I said to my father-in-law, “You can guarantee it’s no coincidence they chose a Middle Eastern man to say there’s no evidence of nukes” - another American propaganda trick.
Would the govts and co-conspiring MSM ever allow a typical American to make these statements to the world? Hell no!
Yeah, well the new British PM has said he’d entertain the idea of supporting an attack on Iran. Dammit, here we go again! UK, Leave Iran alone!
