Friends, anyone who is even vaguely informed knows that Israel is planning to drop nukes on Iran with or without the help of the U.S.. And in the not too distant future.

The reason? The Jews in Israel think that Iran stands in their road, that it is an existential threat, that Iran may prevent them from setting up Greater Israel, that Iran wants to get nukes which will threaten Israeli military superiority in the Middle East, and that Iran may pull the Arab countries together which would leave Israel isolated.

Certain religious fanatics in Israel (and in Christian countries also) believe that when the region is enveloped in a firestorm, according to the Old Testament, they will go to Heaven and leave the other 7 billion people on earth, namely us, without a leg to stand on or a planet to survive on.

If Israel pulls the nuclear trigger in the next few weeks or months, the whole of the Middle East will go up in flames. Millions will be killed in Iran, men, women, children.The conflagration will spread as the Muslim countries, fearing they too will be trodden into the ground by Israel, unite and fight back. We are looking at WW3 and, because of nukes which Israel has plenty of, the End of our World!

We cannot allow this to happen!

We cannot allow a tiny group of crazy religious fanatics, around 1% of the world’s population, to bring our world to an end in a nuclear holocaust or to use their illegally acquired nuclear weapons to reduce our world to rubble, to kill our children and everyone we love.

We, who are sane, must stop Israel from nuking Iran. How you ask?

Australia’s richest person!

His power over the world is immense!

The news this morning reveals that Australia’s richest person, a mining magnate with wealth guesstimated to be around 20 billion, is buying up shares in Fairfax Media, one of a few remaining independent media companies. And keep in mind that Fairfax Media also owns rural press outlets and radio stations!

So what you say! Well, given that she already owns a large slice of Channel 10, this venture into the print media will give her substantial media clout which, dare I say it, may well be used to improve her image and, directly or indirectly perhaps, even her wealth!

How does this happen, you ask? Well, as a major shareholder, she is entitled to sit on the Board of Fairfax and have a say in its processes. Neat, eh? It’s hard to imagine she’ll get bad press from Fairfax Media, eh.

This is how our world operates under a capitalist system. The rich elite have their tentacles in the media and the Government. Last year, for example, the LABOR Party tried to impose a super-profits tax on the mining companies who threatened to put together a massive amount of money to fund an anti-Government advertising campaign.

The Government backed off.

Man’s inhumanity to man is infinite! Hiroshima, 1945.

Friends, it is obvious that one of the greatest problems the world faces is the collective ignorance of the masses.

This ignorance, which is found in every nation of the world, is what enables the psychos who run the world to do so without fear of reprisal. If the peasants don’t know what is going on, then they are easy to manipulate and exploit.

Take the situation concerning Israel. The State of Israel is preparing to nuke Iran. Now that should have the whole world up in arms. Every television and newspaper should be filled with angry protests. Every street should be filled with protesters urging their Government to apply pressure to stop Israel, urging the U.N. to act to stop Israel’s madness, urging the U.S. to withdraw its military and monetary support from Israel. Should be but isn’t!

Why is there no action on this front? Don’t people fear a nuclear war? Don’t they realize their survival is at risk and the survival of the planet?

The bottom line is that most people don’t know that nuclear war is imminent. And why don’t they know? Because they are not told.

No, Israel’s nukes is the elephant in the room. Powerful People pretend it’s not there. The MSM in the main pretends it’s not there and talks instead about the latest political chatter and who won the football. The Parliamentarians pretend its not there as though by ignoring it, it might go away.

Instead of talking about then DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, the world continues to drift along in a fog of denial and watch shows like Home and Away and American Idol.

But the fact is that Israel has nukes and is preparing to use them surely is the most important thing in the world, as important as the Cuban Missile Crisis was. If the nukes start falling in the Middle East, things will escalate and our world will go up in a fireball.

So the people of the world, in the main, don’t know about the imminence of nuclear war and the next question is: if they did know about it, would they do anything about it? The answer is: PROBABLY NOT!

Friends, I’m sorry to have to inform you but Village Idiots, sick of their role as the butt of all the world’s jokes, have infiltrated the leadership ranks of most nations and they now run the world.

One of the clearest examples is shown above. Bambam Obama is a legend in his own lifetime already. He has taken the V.I. role very seriously given that George W Bush did such a magnificent impersonation during his…well, it really wasn’t an impersonation.

We have our own V.I. in the form of Julia Gillard. She has turned the art of ‘stuffing things up’ to a level not seen before in Australia. Of course, Phony Abbott is hot on her heels and he is confident of becoming the next V.I.P.M when the next election comes around. I’m sure he won’t disappoint.

Of course, who can go past the parade of Presidential hopefuls who appear on our tellies. Palin and Backman were classics but they’ve disappeared taking with them their V.I. genius.

But the men are upholding the V.I. tradition and they grunt and fume at each other doing their best to keep their eyes from crossing and their lips from drooling and stopping their knuckles dragging on the ground.

Friends, it could be time to put your television in a metal cage, as you might do with a very dangerous animal. Why?

Because your television is eating your brain. Yes, friends, each time you turn it on it nibbles away a bit more of your power of thinking and you don’t feel a thing.

Of course, this doesn’t happen to everyone, just most. There are a few people out there who are clinging to their ability to think, who view their television with suspicion, with fear. The are skeptical of the words, even of the images.

Most people just open their minds and let the rubbish pour into their heads, infinite quantities of it.

They don’t realize that they are manipulated by the idiot box, how Governments and Corporations and Politicians and Media Billionaires are using television to manipulate them, to break them down, to turn them into zombies.

Australians at the beach. Where else?

At the pub, of course!

Friends, the intent of this post is to try to establish whether we Aussies differ a little or a lot from our U.S. counterparts. Food for thought, eh?

To give you an idea of what a Prominent American, Robert Higgs, Phd, thinks about his countrymen I include an excerpt from an article he wrote in Sept. 14, 2003. It was called: How Does the War Party Get Away with It?

“Presidents decide to go to war in the context of a favorably disposed mass culture. Painful as it is for members of the Peace Party to admit, many Americans take pleasure in “kicking ass,” and they do not much care whose ass is being kicked or why. So long as Americans are dishing out death and destruction to a plausible foreign enemy, the red-white-and-blue jingos are happy.

An eagerness to spill blood and guts extends, however, well beyond the rednecks. Highly literate, albeit sophistic, expressions of this proclivity appear nearly every day on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, a Likud Party megaphone whose motto might well be “all wars all the time.” Establishment think tanks, most notably the American Enterprise Institute, trot out well-spoken intellectuals in squads to trumpet the necessity of wreaking global death and destruction.

No one should be surprised by the cultural proclivity for violence, of course, because Americans have always been a violent people in a violent land. Once the Europeans had committed themselves to reside on this continent, they undertook to slaughter the Indians and steal their land, and to bullwhip African slaves into submission and live off their labor—endeavors they pursued with considerable success over the next two and a half centuries. Absent other convenient victims, they have battered and killed one another on the slightest pretext, or for the simple pleasure of doing so, with guns, knives, and bare hands. If you take them to be a “peace-loving people,” you haven’t been paying attention. Such violent people are easily led to war.

This image is symbolic of Australia: young, immature, visionless and with little backbone or independence.

Friends, it seems that Rudd, our Foreign Minister, has joined the conga line of suckholes who are applying oil and other sanctions to Iran.

Now, you may well ask why is Australia applying sanctions to a small Muslim nation on the other side of the world? The answer is simple. It’s because NATO-U.S. said so. And when NATO-U.S. say jump, we, or at least our politicians, ask: ‘How High, oh Great Ones?’

It seems that we don’t take much in the way of trade with Iran but Iran has stopped trading with us which has had a measurable effect on our exports. Wise move, eh? Smart, eh?

And why are we joining in the sanctions? To show our support for Israel, a brutal, rogue nation which our incompetent Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, thinks is wonderful and to show our unquestioning approval for NATO-U.S., a conglomeration of the world’s principal warmongers and plunderers.

Yes, we have joined the ranks of the Forty Thieves who are trying to manipulate the world so it better fits the demands of corporations, right-wing politicians, oligarchs, religious fanatics, the wealthy elite, etc.

Friends, the stupidity of our world leaders has taken another gigantic leap forward.

Yes, according to what I read this morning on Reuters, nuclear-armed British and French warships are heading towards the region surrounding Iran to join the huge American flotillas.

This is in case Iran attempts to block the Strait of Homuz though which much of the world’s oil passes. So not only have European Nations agreed with the U.S. request not to buy Iran’s oil and other sanctions directed at Iran’s financial system but they are contributing to a provocative armed presence.

Now we come to the stupid part. The West, including America, is struggling with a debt crisis. The very last thing that is required at this time is a real hike in oil prices. Stopping Iran’s oil will lead to a shortage of oil which, yes you guessed it, will make things more expensive and put extra difficulties on the already dire financial situation. It’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face!

But that is not all. Putting the squeeze on Iran, a squeeze that is going to punish civilians, is inevitably going to result in some form of retaliation. It’s the human way. The potential for Iran, quite a military power itself, to retaliate against its rich tormentors increases by the hour. The World is on a hair-trigger.

But now we come to the really stupid part, perhaps the beginning of the Age Of Profoundly Stupid! What is all this fuss about? It’s to stop Iran acquiring nukes which Israel has in abundance.

Did the Government put on this fireworks for me. No, they didn’t! They don’t like me much! Few Governments do!

Folks, I just noticed that I have written exactly 1,000 articles (posts) since D.C. began in what seems a hundred years ago. I thought it was worth mentioning to the longer-term members of this forum and may even be of interest to the newer ones.

The time has gone so quickly and my blood pressure has gone up and down a million times as I dealt with some of the prickly issues confronting our world and some of the prickly people who have visited during that time.

Has it aged me? Yes it has but it has given me a sense of purpose and kept my brain active. Have I achieved much? Probably not but then I can never really know.

Will I write another 1,000 articles? Perhaps. Probably. Who knows. It’s in the hands of Mossad or Obama’s assassination squads!   

Is this how people will look (because of radiation and genetic abnormalities) in the Age of the Damned? 

On ICH this morning, there was an article entitled THE AGE OF STUPID. It was a video and I only watched a few minutes of it because my mind, always on the boil, was eager to explore that title and some of its meanings.

The Age of Stupid: what a wonderful title, one that describes my thoughts about the world perfectly. There is little happening in our world which is untouched by the word STUPID.

Now Lebby Eyres wrote that Shakespeare would have us believe that the Seven Ages of Man go something like this: infancy (mewling and puking); boyhood (whining and shining); lover (sighing); soldier (jealous, with a beard); justice (fat and wise); pantaloon (spindly spec-wearer); second childishness (oblivious to everything).

Of course the Ages to which I’m referring are more specific to certain time periods in the affairs of humans. We had the Stone Ages, Golden Age of Greece, the Dark Ages, etc, but the Age of Stupid?

Please consider the following. We currently have Global Warming caused by the use of fossil fuels. Do we stop mining such fuel and seriously look for alternatives. Of course not because there’s a buck to made and that’s all this is important in our capitalist-driven world. So exploration and mining continues at a frantic pace.

Then we have imperialism which is related to fossil fuels. Nations like Imperial America and Imperial Britain and Imperial France are doing their best to grab control of the major oil fields in the Middle East so they can have unfettered access to oil and stop China and to a lesser extent, Russia, from sharing in these things which really belong to the people of the world. And how do they gain control? Using war.
