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?

My idea is simple. On a date to be agreed upon, we, and hopefully billions of others, ring up every Jew we know. We ring every Jewish Embassy, every Jewish owned business, every Jewish-controlled think tank, every Jewish billionaire, every Jewish politician and every prominent Jew-lover. We will jam every switchboard, close down all Jewish communication, fill the world with our clear message: WE WILL NOT ALLOW ISRAEL TO DESTROY OUR WORLD!

We will tell them that if they nuke Iran, we, the people of the world, will rise up against them, that we will punish them as they have punished others, that we…well what would you say to a people who have just created a nuclear holocaust and killed millions, perhaps even someone you know?

We will tell them that their tiny nation, and the Orthodox Jews who call its tune, can no longer dictate to the world, ignore International Law, flout U.N. Resolutions, that their time of bullying and manipulating the world is over.

On the day after RING A JEW DAY, the people of the world will march in protest against Israel. They will convene in parks across the world, and in speeches and signs indicate their rejection of Israel and everything it stands for. And the ringing will continue, and the protests, and the boycotting of Jewish businesses, etc, until they stop their madness!

Israel will get the message loud and clear. The world belongs to its 7 billion people, not to them!

This is my idea. We can’t just wait for the nukes to start falling. We have to do something to save our world. Putting pressure on Jewish people across the world is a good start. It may cause them to reconsider their position.

Perhaps we can stop WW3 and remove the threat of Armageddon. Do you agree?

Please send me your feedback.

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.

Another example. In Australia, the media magnate Rupert Murdoch uses his strong grip over the media here to promote the Conservative Party as the only party worth voting for and the free-market as next to Godliness. This further entrenches the capitalists and ensures that Big Business gets preferential treatment from right-wing Governments.

So, are you about to rush out and buy a mine or a small newspaper? Forget it! If you didn’t go to a top private school and then to a top University and have wealthy parents, your chances of being rich one day are zilch.

The system looks after its Princes and Princesses and they look after each other while Governments either advance the ambitions and greed of the wealthy or they live in fear of what the wealthy can do to them via the Capitalist-controlled media (which exerts a great deal of control over the thinking of the average citizen).

This is why democracy in most Western Nations is a corrupt farce. We don’t have ‘Government by the people, for the people’.

In the West, we have ‘Corporations which manipulate and control Governments and Voters for their own benefit’.

The Ancient Greeks would weep if they saw how the word ‘democracy’ has been bastardized by a group of insatiably greedy, unscrupulous Robber Barons!

Perhaps that’s why they smile so smugly!

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!

Let’s be clear. Our education system doesn’t prepare people to deal with issues like nuclear warfare. It doesn’t prepare citizens to rebel against fascist-leaning Governments. It doesn’t tell them how to get rid of warmongering Governments or Governments that support warmongering imperial Governments like Australia does with the U.S.

So the people are not only ill-informed but they are brainwashed into thinking their Government will always look after them, that their nation is filled with wonderful people, that ‘might is right’, that people who don’t look like us are inferior and must be treated with suspicion, that God is on our side, etc, etc, all manner of crap!

The average Australian doesn’t realize that the U.S. is the enemy of the free world. They see the U.S. as a benevolent power, a friend, when the truth is the exact opposite! They simply ignore information about depleted uranium, people kept in cages, rendition, water-boarding, cluster bombs, massacres, a thousand plus military bases, etc, etc.

Well, what can we do? Ignorance is not bliss. Our collective ignorance will bring about the end of our world.

P.S. I found this fantastic, moving, profound poem the other day. You might find the excerpt interesting. The link to the whole poem can be found by clicking on his name just below.

Giving the Keynote at the Apocalypse

by JJ Hutton

…i raise my arms up,
as though the crowd is crucifying me.

they want to finish their burgers.
they want to stroke each other’s egos.
they want to pass the blame on some
distant land,
and stick boots up asses and wave a few flags.

“So civilization doesn’t get to rust,
it goes out in a flash and is carried away as dust.

Mankind annihilates itself in a fit of boredom.

Get stoked for the funeral pyre.”

all eyes,
all on the ground.
all skin,
all plastic skin did melt.
all forgotten dreams,
all torn from hidden seams.
all the thin, the fat, the republican, the democrat,
all the white, the black, the chinese,
the arabs, the jews, the druggies,
the christians, the monkeys, mtv stars,
toilet seats, pamphlets,
all the newsreels, dvds,
collector’s editions, suvs,
all fuse together,
all in one immaculate heat.

no one even got a chance to applaud.

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.

Some other notable Village Idiots are David Cameron who runs the EuroZone even though Britain isn’t in it. And what about Benny Netanyahu who is still hoping that Sharon the Merciless awakes from his coma and leads Israel to annexe all of its neighbours and restore the 3,000 year old Israel kingdom that David established (don’t tell Benny but there is real doubt that David actually existed).

I mean I could go on…what about Harper the Horror in Canada and Sarkozy the Simpleton in France and Putin the Putrid in Russia who thinks the world wants to see his chest. If he was a female or I was a gay, that might be different!

P.S. People tell me that Paul Ron or Ron Paul is a bit of a cut above the other Village Idiots but that remains to be seen. Is it true he wears a nappy?

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.

When they go into a Supermarket, they react involuntarily to the products and pick them up and put them in the trolley. They have been conditioned.

When they go to vote, they have been conditioned as to how to vote. They have listened and agreed to the messages from Big Business and Talk-jocks and Newspaper Editorials and will vote for the candidates that have spun the best, have promised them the most.

When they see footage from war zones, they smile because they have been led to believe that war is good, that anyone who thinks differently to them or looks differently to them is to be feared and killed if possible.

When religion comes on the flickering screen, they feel warm. Their conditioning makes them feel this way, Big Daddy is looking after us, stops them seeing the fraud that all religion is.

When sport comes on, things like cage fighting and contact sports like football and ice-hockey, they howl and yell as the blood flows and imagine how it must feel to physically dominate another human, how it feels to be victorious and how winners deservedly are grinners. They don’t realize that violence is being glorified and peace is being mocked.

Friends, the Dark Forces which control our world use television as their major form of manipulation. From the moment little children are exposed to television the programming and conditioning start.

And it never stops. 24 hours a day the television flickers and devours our brain.

Be on your guard. See it for what it is: a medium of mass indoctrination used by folk who have no scruples, no morals, and want to turn you into their puppet!

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.

Public ignorance compounds the inclinations fostered by the mass culture. Study after study and poll after poll have confirmed that most Americans know next to nothing about public affairs. Of course, the intricacies of foreign policy are as alien to them as the dark side of the moon, but their ignorance runs much deeper. They can’t explain the simplest elements of the political system; they don’t know what the Constitution says or means; and they can’t identify their political representatives or what those persons ostensibly stand for. They know scarcely anything about history, and what they think they know is usually incorrect.”

Well, Professor Higgs certainly doesn’t pull any punches, does he? It is a scathing article and I believe it fairly touches upon some of the failings of the U.S. and its people.

My question is: are Australians just as dumb and ignorant as their American counterparts? Are we too just victims of the propaganda that we receive from birth, the pro-American, pro-capitalism, pro-white, pro-greed, pro-war, pro-religion, pro-capitalist, pro-West indoctrination that comes at us from every source?

I tend to think we are because every time I attempt to portray the U.S. as I see it in Australia, immediately I am involved in furious denial from many of my fellow countrymen.

Now I know that humans in the main are like sheep and anyone who questions the status quo is viewed as an enemy. People become comfortable with conventions they’ve grown up with (like the U.S. is a force for good) because to change them requires thinking and it’s easier just to go with the flow and follow the herd.

Anyway, what do you think? Are Australians, in the main, replicas of Americans? And if we are, what are the implications of this?

Over to you.

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.

Here is our Foreign Minister, Kevin Rudd, in Britain having a cozy little chat with his counterpart William Hague who leads a country that is always ready to get involved in war anywhere and at anytime. His warships, as we speak, are entering the region around Iran with murderous intent. It could be said that Britain is America’s shadow, so closely does it mimic the actions of the imperial barbarians who inhabit the U.S.

Our Defense Minister, Stephen Smith went with Rudd and met with his British counterpart whose name escapes me so important is he. No doubt, over drinkies, the four of them talked about manly things like war, and war, and war and how the peasants were revolting and how a few nukes would quickly sort them out, Tally ho, pass the brandy, and all that!

So while we worry and fret over the possibility of a nuclear war, these and comparable, deranged suited individuals are arranging the world for us, even contemplating taking us into nuclear war which is the ultimate madness!

Israel, driven by insane religious fantasies, could, with its 200 nukes, pretty well demolish our world by itself. Yet it is Iran, nuke-less, which we have to fear according to our masters. I smell a rat!

Friends, the people running the world shouldn’t be. In fact, they should be stripped of their power and wealth immediately before they do anymore damage to our planet or start WW3.

We, the people, can bring them down. In Australia, we need to bring down the LABOR PARTY and the LIBERAL PARTY and form new parties which actually represent our needs and demands. The incumbent parties are nothing more than tools of the U.S. and Big Business.

Speak out today.  Start your own grassroots political organizations. Help to stop the nuclear Armageddon which is just over the horizon!

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.

How did Israel get nukes, you ask? From the U.S. or with assistance of the U.S. So here we have the demonization of Iran for attempting to do what Israel has already done. It is Israel that has destabilized the whole region by upsetting the nuclear balance. And it is the U.S. that, once again, has outdone itself in gross hypocrisy and one-sidedness!

And the U.S. and its war-loving Allies are going to ensure that Iran can’t get nukes even if that means the global economic crises deepens further AND increases the potential for WW3 which could well springboard the world into nuclear Armageddon.

Friends, the world is being led by the insane who have nukes. Those who don’t have nukes are trying to get them to try to ensure their survival. But nukes will ensure the end of our world.

We now live in the Age Of Profoundly Stupid thanks to the Americans and some ex-Colonialist European nations like Britain and France.

Yet, strangely, most of the other nations in the world say nothing. Can they be blind or are they too afraid of the plundering warmongers who are raping our Earth?

The price for living in this new Age will be very, very high, you mark my words.

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!   

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.

Now war has been with us since the Stone Ages. People have been regularly invaded and slaughtered by the thousands and millions by warmongering nations who see killing and plundering as a life style. But now, in the Age of Stupid, we have nukes instead of bows and arrows.

Yes, we now have weapons we daren’t use or so we tell ourselves. But in the Age of Stupid, we do stupid things, don’t we? Look at Israel! It can’t wait to launch a nuclear attack on Iran even if its own existence is seriously threatened if it does.

And while Israel tries to contain its impatience, we have the U.S., while bankrupt and only having 6% of the world’s population, trying to gain control the world. How farcical. It defies reason and commonsense. But in the Age of Stupid what else would you expect?

Then we have a Global Financial Crisis which has arisen because of the greed of banks and financial institutions. It has been worsened by the debt crisis in the EuroZone where many countries are as bankrupt as the U.S. because they have spent more than they have. There is an urgent attempt to try to balance the books which have been in the red for scores of years. The IMF warns of implosion.

Then in the Age of Stupid we have the U.S. Presidential Elections which presents us with a number of candidates who rival each other for stupidity. American citizens, who, in the main, surely take the prizes for the most stupid people in the world, whoop and holler as the candidates argue with each other and implore people to vote for them.

We have multi-millionaire Romney, who got rich by unemploying thousands fighting with ‘Kant Keep It In His Pants’ Gingrich who is trying to win a Gold Medal in the Sexual Olympics!

I could go on but what is the point. In the Age of Stupid, stupidity rules. But when the nukes start falling, we will move from the Age of Stupid to the Age of the Damned.

Radioactivity will see to that. Those who survive will be like lepers once were, the most miserable, suffering souls on earth.

Perhaps in their suffering, they may begin to contribute to a new age but who would want to live in it?

This is one of the U.S. war machines which will give us the Age of the Damned!
