It’s a shame to read local newspapers (my case, “The Dallas Morning News”) cover the escalation towards Iran in the past month. All the countries around Iraq have significant interest in what’s happening in the region. While mention of Jordanian and Saudi Arabian (our allies) financed death squads deserves not a peep, Iranian meddling in the affairs of Iraq is the only recognized problem. As if the United States has more to lose than the neighbors of Iraq, Iran is portrayed as a nation that has no place in the Middle Eastern conversation. While at the same time excluding Iran from the conversation, our mass media has demonized Iran’s government through out-of-context quotes, outright mistranslation, and dismissal of the balance of power between the president and grand ayatollah. To boot, I keep reading tidbits here and there about the “international community’s” level of distrust towards Iran while there seems to be no mention of historical reasons for Iranian (and of course Middle Eastern) distrust of Western intervention.
Here’s what to do: impeach them all, convict them all, bury the dead in Crawford, then elect real people, not professional politicians, to represent us. Learn to live simple lives, stop idolizing singers, actors, and criminals. Turn off and throw away the televisions, grow vegetables in your yard, use the cars for greenhouses.
As always, Chalmers Johnson is spot on. He has, especially in Sorrows of Empire, zeroed in the most fundamental truths about the reality of our tottering republic, the secret government, secret army, secret intelligence, and secret economic warfare, waged around the world that never sees the light of day here. I believe, and I’m sure he would agree with me, that we are right now having our “Julius Caesar moment” as the George Bush presidency continues to defy Congress to reign it in, and continues to blatantly abrogate the Constitution. Bush has already crossed the Rubicon, and it is an open question whether our equivalent to the Roman Senate, our Congress, will draw the line, take him on, and take him and his backers down. Even if they do so in terms of the public arrogations of illegal power, if they don’t dig deeper into the CIA and the military-industrial complex, stopping Bush will be a Pyrrhic victory.
One thing I wish Johnson would look into, if he hasn’t already. He considers 9/11 to have been an example of blowback, of former CIA operatives going “off the reservation” and coming back to attack us. I hope he knows that 9/11 was fundamentally an inside job, with at best peripheral, bit parts, played by bin Laden and Al Qaeda. The Administration never even proved, never really tried to prove, that they even did it, and the supposed 19 hijackers is a joke–6 or 7 of them are alive and well in several Middle Eastern countries. Unraveling 9/11 is part of what must be done to dismantle the American empire, and in fact, it may be the most direct and most likely-to-succeed means of exposing what Johnson identifies as needing to be exposed. The evidence of a coverup of 9/11, which proves that what we were told isn’t the truth, is so monumental, and Johnson, of all people, would have to recognize that 9/11 wasn’t blowback, it was the direct action of the very apparatus all three of his books document.
Peter Rush
The following rumors came out of Israel a few months ago. Now one even hears it repeated by the US media and pundits. It is about a plan of action arranged by the US and the Israeli authorities to be enacted to act as distraction for the failed Iraq policy.
It is rumored that one of the objectives of the attack on Lebanon and engagements with the Hezbollah was to demonstrate the capabilities of the rocket arsenal in possession of Hezbollah. As it is accepted that the rockets are mainly supplied by Iran, it was arranged to show the world the capabilities of these rockets and their sophistication.
The damages done to the Israeli naval vessel by these rockets demonstrated to the International Community how these rockets worked. It was a prelude to show that Iran possessed the capability of attacking vessels at sea by a Ground to Sea missiles. The real objective was to capture a few of the missiles preferably in working order.
During the battles Israeli Special Forces were deployed to acquire these rockets. Some of the missiles are already delivered to the US for examination and future use.
It is said that the plan consists of an attack on a US Naval vessels in the Persian Gulf by the US agents, their substitutes or MKI (Mujahedeen Khalq Iran) using the captured missiles. The missiles would be launched from the Iranian soil. The agents are either already in position in Iran or could easily enter the sparsely inhabited Iranian coast in the Gulf from any vessel in the vicinity. The event would be documented by the US spy satellites hovering over the Gulf for a proof of the Iranian aggression. Forensic tests would prove that the missiles are indeed Iranian missiles, likes of which have been retrieved by Israel after the recent war in Lebanon.
The event would be a better-rehearsed and fool proof version of the Gulf of Tonkin episode.
The attack would be replied by a massive retaliation from the US forces already amassed all around Iran. As would be demonstrated later, fragments of the missiles would be found on the stricken vessel to justify the attack and make it seem legitimate. As the attack is a retaliation, it would not necessarily require boots on the ground or invasion of Iran.
The attack would yield the following results;
1.. Destruction of the nuclear capability of Iran, a wish of the US administration,
2.. Fulfillment of a long time desire of the Israel
3.. Help distract the public opinion from Iraq and the internal problems that presently has beleaguered the administration.
4.. Show the US public the strength of character of the President and buy time for the administration.
5.. It would play in the hands of the true benefactors of the present administration; the major Construction Companies, Halliburton, Bechtel etc. The destruction of the infrastructure of a rich country like Iran with 70 million people would be the dream job these companies have been drooling and planning for, for sometime. Iran’s coffers are presently filled with the oil Dollars besides there is plenty more where that came from.
I have no hope. Like the weather, the future will be played out by parameters and probabilities and they are not in favor of democracy over empire. Actually, given our current situation, even empire might be viewed as a success.
To predict the future just multiply the probabilities of success (rough guesses at probabilities will do here) of the components (as one does with any complex probability calculation like a trifecta at the races). So multiply the low probability of national success of Environmental Sustainability X Budget Balancing X Energy Availability. Failure in any one of these can, as we saw with the relatively localized situation in New Orleans, cause a collapse of social order. Layer on top of these the low probability that there will be a strong reassertion of democratic processes and media honesty and one can only conclude that the probability for serious disruption of our social order is likely.
As the old saying goes … “the race is not always to the swift of foot … but that’s the way to bet!”
In this case, I am not trying to be an alarmist I am just looking at the odds. We have permitted situations to develop, the resolution of any one being an extremely difficult task. Managing all of them so that none blows up on us is defying the odds.
