The Target is America

The Trumpanyahoo war is on Iran. America is its target.

A person would have to work pretty hard not to know this was in the works:

The state of Israel is carefully setting up to attack Iran, pulling the US into a war, and possibly finding some pretext for using nuclear weapons. 45 has just given this the go-ahead. (Author, 5/11/18)

The backers of the 47th administration has made their last desperate move, not to take power, but to keep it. The morass of lies, chaos, nuclear brinksmanship, and now all-out war on Iran was a coverup of massive subversion and insurrection against the United States, by... the United States.

Among its first acts was the surgical removal of all potential legal opposition within the federal workforce, the oversight and monitoring agencies that served as checks against abuse of power. With the watchdogs gone, federal databases of citizens' most personal data were thrown open by the administration to private interests. Said private interests have since openly declared their intention to use all that information put everyone "on their best behavior."

Foreign policy is run by a foreign head of state, one of whose recent official employees is White House Chief of Staff. The FBI, now a wholly-owned subsidiary, withholds evidence of disgusting corruption in the Epstein documents, flouting the law. The Attorney General goes before Congress only to hurl invective and lies in its face. Vile racist epithets and physical violence one again visit the very People's House.

Following two televised state murders, standing in front (and in the name) of the White House, an avowed racist commands unchecked and unaccountable secret police to ignore Constitutional protections and invade private homes without warrant or cause. Ordinary Americans are living in terror of disappearance or summary execution.

Racial profiling was already adjudicated policy. One state (Kansas) has just passed a law prohibiting other than birth-assigned gender designation, instantly revoking every transgender person's licence to drive.

We're not in Kansas anymore.

All this and the on-again, off-again "diplomacy" con has effectively distracted what would be normal public outrage at the budget for private prison capacity far exceeding the declared population of "criminal" refugees to be arrested and deported.

Everything seemed to be going to plan; what, then, requires all-out war against a country that constitutes no threat, and can actually fight back, for once?

Iran can respond to such an insult by shutting down global shipping, sending the global economy into a tailspin. So this can't just be about energy resources or uranium enrichment that was, so we're told, "obliterated." What could make that worth so many innocent lives?

Answer: the same thing that's always wasted innocent lives, throughout history.

Colonial supremacy.

Putting the USA in a state of war-emergency with terrifying legal implications is clearly part of the strategy. This can be used to justify "loyalty" tests and dissident dragnets. Neighbors will be invited to denounce their neighbors.

Everything else is in place.

Genocide is an economy. It has no borders.

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
