When Japan
attacked Pearl Harbor, Japan did not spend years preparing her public
case and demonstrating her deployment of forces for the attack. Japan
did not make a world issue out of her view that the US was denying
Japan her role in the Pacific by hindering Japan's access to raw
materials and energy.
Similarly,
when Hitler attacked Russia, he did not preface his invasion with
endless threats and a public case that blamed the war on England.
These
events happened before the PSYOPS era. Today, America and Israel's
wars of aggression are preceded by years of propaganda and
international meetings, so that by the time the attack comes it is an
expected event, not a monstrous surprise attack with its connotation of
naked aggression.
The
US, which has been threatening Iran with attack for years, has passed
the job to Israel. During the third week of July, the American vice
president and secretary of state gave Israel the go-ahead. Israel has
made great public disclosure of its warships passing through the Suez
Canal on their way to Iran. "Muslim" Egypt is complicit, offering no
objection to Israel's naval forces on their way to a war crime under
the Nuremberg standard that the US imposed on the world.
By
the time the attack occurs, it will be old hat, an expected event, and,
moreover, an event justified by years of propaganda asserting Iran's
perfidy.
Israel
intends to dominate the Middle East. Israel's goal is to incorporate
all of Palestine and southern Lebanon into "Greater Israel." The US
intends to dominate the entire world, deciding who rules which
countries and controlling resource flows.
The
US and Israel are likely to succeed, because they have effective
PSYOPS. For the most part, the world media follows the US media, which
follows the US and Israeli governments' lines. Indeed, the American
media is part of the PSYOPS of both countries.
According
to Thierry Meyssan in the Swiss newspaper Zeit-Fragen, the CIA used SMS
or text messaging and Twitter to spread disinformation about the
Iranian election, including the false report that the Guardian Council
had informed Mousavi that he had won the election. When the real
results were announced, Ahmadinejad's reelection appeared to be
fraudulent.
Iran's
fate awaits it. A reasonable hypothesis to be entertained and examined
is whether Iran's Rafsanjani and Mousavi are in league with Washington
to gain power in Iran. Both have lost out in the competition for
government power in Iran. Yet, both are egotistical and ambitious.
The Iranian Revolution of 1979 probably means nothing to them except an
opportunity for personal power. The way the West has always controlled
the Middle East is by purchasing the politicians who are out of power
and backing them in overthrowing the independent government. We see
this today in Sudan as well. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=14299
In
the case of Iran, there is an additional factor that might align
Rafsanjani with Washington. President Ahmadienijad attacked former
President Rafsanjani, one of Iran's most wealthy persons, as corrupt.
If Rafsanjani feels threatened by this attack, he has little choice but
to try to overthrow the existing government. This makes him the
perfect person for Washington.
Perhaps
there is a better explanation why Rafsanjani and Mousavi, two highly
placed members of the Iranian elite, chose to persist in allegations of
election fraud that have played into Washington's hands by calling into
question the legitimacy of the Iranian government. It cannot be that
the office of president is worth such costs as the Iranian presidency
is not endowed with decisive powers.
Without
Rafsanjani and Mousavi, the US media could not have orchestrated the
Iranian elections as "stolen," an orchestration that the US government
used to further isolate and discredit the Iranian government, making it
easier for Iran to be attacked. Normally, well placed members of an
elite do not help foreign enemies set their country up for attack.
An
Israeli attack on Iran is likely to produce retaliation, which
Washington will use to enter the conflict. Have the personal ambitions
of Rafsanjani and Mousavi, and the naive youthful upper class Iranian
protesters, set Iran up for destruction?
Consult
a map and you will see that Iran is surrounded by a dozen countries
that host US military bases. Why does anyone in Iran doubt that Iran is
on her way to becoming another Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, in the
end to be ruled by oil companies and an American puppet?
The
Russians and Chinese are off balance because of successful American
interventions in their spheres of influence, uncertain of the threat
and the response. Russia could have prevented the coming attack on
Iran, but, pressured by Washington, Russia has not delivered the
missile systems that Iran purchased. China suffers from her own hubris
as a rising economic power, and is about to lose her energy investments
in Iran to US/Israeli aggression. China is funding America's wars of
aggression with loans, and Russia is even helping the US to set up a
puppet state in Afghanistan, thus opening up former Soviet central Asia
to US hegemony.
The
world is so impotent that even the bankrupt US can launch a new war of
aggression and have it accepted as a glorious act of liberation in
behalf of women's rights, peace, and democracy.
