If
Americans went in front of a US court using the logic and arguments the
US government uses to excuse its murder, they would be given the
electric chair within a fortnight. Image if a citizen used the arguments
the US uses to attack other nations to preempt increasing instances of
police violence Americans regularly suffer at the hands of “law
enforcement.”
Much Zionist propaganda has been written about why Iran should not be allowed a nuclear energy program for peaceful purposes.
The US has come up with a pile of illogical rationalities, outright
fallacies and propaganda in hopes of denying Iran the modernity it
claims to seek to promote throughout the Middle East and Southwest Asia.
However, US objections might as well have come from the mouth of Ehud
Barak himself as the US lists what it claims to be its concerns,
concerns that in no way violate international law, upset international
stability or threaten the balance of power according to a growing number
of American foreign policy think tanks, policy wonks, former defense
officials and statesmen who understand that war does not bring peace,
prosperity, security or liberty.
Individuals such as Kenneth Waltz argue that Iran needs a bomb to
ensure the West does not attack it. A growing number of US groups and
individuals claim it is only through a militaristic paradigm of what had
been the Cold War policy between the US and the former U.S.S.R., that
of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), that Iran can ensure its security
and maintain a just peace.
Iran rejects this paradigm and has stated the three most effective
ways to promote peace are through international justice, the adherence
to international treaties and the working towards a nuclear-free Middle
East. Few Americans understand that these three foundational
underpinnings are constantly undercut by the US due to the control
wielded by the Zionist lobby through the US media, its control of the US
political process and its position of influence within the US defense
establishment that blackmails the US into exercising its veto authority
as a member of the UN Security Council.
Iran’s leadership has stated it is a great sin against Islam to seek
nuclear weapons. The IAEA and the US’ Central Intelligence Agency have
both stated Iran does not have a nuclear weapon program and has abided
by the IAEA and NPT protocols, going above and beyond what measures are
needed to ensure compliance.
The greatest threat to the IAEA and NPT is the US’
refusal to abide by its provisions. Countries have learned that to
disarm in exchange for security guarantees is as an effective means of
foreign policy as deciding to become the willing rape victim of
colonialists and imperialists.
Yet, the world is bombarded with Zionist propaganda because Israel
fears Iran gaining the technical knowledge that would come to any nation
building a nuclear energy program. But, knowledge is as an unavoidable
by-product of scientific endeavor in nuclear energy and medicine as
spent fuel rods are that require reprocessing in order to produce more
electrical energy.
Unfortunately, when one reads the US media, he is
bombarded with the Zionist meme of Israelis claiming Iran wants to wipe
them and Israel off the map. One wonders how this can be accomplished
considering Iran has no nuclear weapons and the only nation to have used
them, the US, proved it was unable to wipe Japan or the Japanese people
off the map.
The Israelis constantly spout hysterics and feign fear, but the
leadership in Iran has proven itself much more stable, sane, logical,
and peaceful than the Zionist regime that is destroying itself and
demonstrating its illegitimacy due to its criminality. This ruse of
Israelis claiming security concerns requires the US to make payouts to
regimes across the globe, and the entire world participates in what they
know is a charade to garner a small share of an increasingly
diminishing dollar from a nation that is diminishing in influence and
stability due to its absurd foreign and domestic policy positions.
The erosion of US domestic tranquility comes as a natural by-product
of engaging in international lawlessness, but Americans have not yet
realized that you cannot be a nation of laws domestically while engaging
in a global crime spree abroad that includes illegal invasions,
violations of international law with regard to the Geneva Convention and
human rights and the use of torture and murder as the cornerstones of
foreign policy. The Saudi and Bahraini regimes make pacts with the US,
and hence indirectly with Israel. However, it is difficult to see who is
getting the worse end of the deal as every US partner seeks to place
the US into wars that need not be fought for any legitimate American
interests, but instead to the detriment of them.
To see a vulgar display of US duplicity and hypocrisy one needs to
look no farther than the US violating the Geneva Convention with respect
to perpetrating regime change, waging aggressive war, engaging in
torture and murder, conducting extraordinary renditions and providing
support for terrorist organizations like the MEK [MKO], PPK, Jundullah
and now al-Qaeda in Syria. This is the method the US uses to ensure its
way of life. The US has a long history of enlisting terrorist support
in the implementation of a terrorist foreign policy, and this policy is
causing more and more nations to realize they do not need the US to
engage mutually beneficial trade, cultural exchange or military
agreements as such are growing to the exclusion of US interests and
influence.
The BRICS nations, Latin America and even Iraq are engaging in
cooperation with their neighbors much to the dismay of the power
structures within the US establishment. The US’ last unexploited
frontier is Africa, but with China looking for investments so as to have
something to do with the trillions of US dollars it holds, the US may
end up a day late and trillions of dollars short. It is in such an
environment the US then begins to pit tribes, ethnic groups, religious
groups and political groups against each other. This is the tried and
true method of conducting imperial conquest. Sell weapons to one group
so the other will need more. Since the US does not make much else in
the way of consumer goods, it has to rely on the business of mass
slaughter.
For every international law the US has broken, it feels its
rationalizations provide it absolute justification. If Americans went in
front of a US court using the logic and arguments the US government
uses to excuse its murder, they would be given the electric chair within
a fortnight. Image if a citizen used the arguments the US uses to
attack other nations to preempt increasing instances of police violence
Americans regularly suffer at the hands of “law enforcement.”
But, let’s consider what crimes Iranians had to suffer at the hands
of America. All the way back in 1953, Operation TP-Ajax resulted in the
CIA supporting the bombing of mosques in order to blame the crimes on
the government of Mohammed Mossadegh. This resulted in the overthrow of
his government and the execution of his cabinet ministers, not to
mention the hundreds of deaths of innocent civilians. The US government
felt this murder of Iranians was nothing more than the implementation of
foreign policy. Americans accepted as rational and reasonable something
that is so horrible and grotesque that it ought to be a crime that
should never to be forgotten and would rightfully serve as a rallying
point for all Iranian patriots for all time.
This was not the last of the crimes Iranians suffered at the hands
of Americans. The US then installed the Shah of Iran whose SAVAK
[Intelligence Agency] then exterminated all political opposition from
1953 to 1979 when the people finally decided they could no longer suffer
the tyrant and overthrew him.
Instead of America being ashamed of what it had done to a country
that had not waged an aggressive war in generations, the US decided to
encourage, support, and provide economic and military assistance to
Saddam to wage a war of aggression against Iran that would cost a
peaceful Iran hundreds of thousands of lives. The U.S. actually gave
Saddam the chemical weapons and production capabilities he used to
slaughter Iranians, Iraqi Shiites, and Iraqi Kurds. Not once did the US
media mention the UN, international law, or Iraqi WMDs during the 8-year
Iraq-Iran War.
Then the US decided to atomize the very country for allegedly having
the weapons the US gave it, knowing full well the weapons had already
been destroyed. If Saddam had WMDs, he would be as safe and secure as
Kim Jong-il’s North Korea, or Pakistan and India. Also, Iraq would have
been under no more obligation to follow international law than the US or
Israel. Speaking of Israel, look what their illegal nuclear program
conducted in absolute secrecy in violation of international law and IAEA
protocols has allowed it to do. The Israeli nuclear program has allowed
Israel to unilaterally make piracy, ethnic cleansing and genocide
legal, acceptable and tolerable to the US and NATO.
After the Shah was deposed in 1979 and the US goaded Saddam to
attack Iran, the US decided it wanted to test its new anti-aircraft
weapon systems deployed on the USS Vincennes as it proceeded to shoot an
Iranian airliner out of the sky knowing full well it was a commercial
aircraft. IR Flight 655 with 290 innocent civilians was blasted out of
the sky while the US refused an apology and the commander of the ship
was awarded military decorations and honors for his slaughter of
innocent civilians. Here is the whole history of that episode that was
hidden from the American people:
This was after the US began attacking oil platforms and Saddam had
killed Iranians with US supplied chemical weapons and production
capability.
Not only do the US people not want to know the truth,
they would refuse to believe the truth no matter what facts were
presented. They literally believe the US would never do something as
heinous as engaging in terrorism, but wishful thinking does not create
reality. The fact is that if the US inspects a nation and finds it has
no means of resistance, it will then conduct its attack to get its way.
It is a nation’s failure to have a credible deterrent that creates a
destabilizing situation. If Iran had nukes it would stand no chance of
attack and would have the power to execute its foreign policy as an
equal among equals. But, the bullying has cost the US as more and more
nations balance against its power and the US relies more and more on
military might for its influence.
All the things I have mentioned in this article are all on the CIA
website, in Wikipedia, and common knowledge for people who seriously
research American foreign policy. It is accepted fact throughout the
political spectrum from Ron Paul on the right of the political spectrum
to Noam Chomsky on the left. In reference to the suppositions posited
here, there is no argument by those who seriously dissect and study
American foreign policy and its impact on the world.
It is the fact is that the majority of Americans are so stupid and
gullible that they will believe any pro-Zionist US imperial propaganda
amplified in the media. These same people are so intellectually lazy
that they can’t take the time to cut and paste a speech into Google
Translator to get at the truth of a matter; moreover, they would rather
not get at the truth. The success of American propaganda is in keeping
the top 20% of the population misinformed as the other 80% are enamored
by sports, celebrity, political divisiveness, and the numerous other
distractions that keep people from understanding the plans and actions
of the power elite.
In short, I have no faith in the US and its foreign policy. Its
foreign policy abuses, crimes and tyrannies are being mirrored in its
domestic policy, criminal justice system, tax code, and failure to abide
by the US Constitution. It is a matter of time now before the US
destroys itself after it inflicts the misery on its own people it has
until now only exported. I can’t say we, as Americans don’t deserve
retribution for our ignorance and apathy. We are as responsible for what
our government does as any other nation is for its government, at least
this is what our government says as it bombs and kills civilians by the
scores, especially in countries with no navy, army or air force.
