Summary
Finally, let me briefly summarize what I have written. The deductions drawn
in this essay would seem quite obvious but are rarely broached in public
because the issue of Jewish power is a taboo. As the intrepid Joseph Sobran
has put it: 'It's permissible to discuss the power of every other group,
from the Black Muslims to the Christian Right, but the much greater power
of the Jewish establishment is off-limits.'99
* dissatisfaction with NATO, tensions within the U.N.
* American statism revealed nakedly: an America that _starts_ a war (never again can children be taught that the U.S. never initiates wars)
* the possibility that a clusterfuck in Iraq will spin out of control, possibly even resulting in nukewar over and around Israel.
* increasing anarchist sentiments
* rising sentiment against Total Information Awareness, Homeland Security, the Reichsprotektorate, etc.
I never saw this much hatred toward the U.S Government by Europeans and Middle Easterners, even during the height of the Vietnam War and then the Cold War (where European pacifists were upset at the Pershing missile deployment, military bases, etc.).
(BTW, we can help to feed this hatred in various ways. I've been spreading reports on Usenet groups and European chat rooms from a "pro-U.S." point of view, talking about the SIOP nuke targetting plans for Iraq and Iran, mentioning CIA plans to implement "regime change" in France, etc. The astute in these newsgroups may realize I am yanking their chain, but it still inflames things. Which is good, for our goals.)
Disorder is on the rise. If a war happens, lots of opportunities.
If the war is over too quickly, or fizzles, or the U.S. backs down, much is lost. The "good war" will have massive scenes of Iraqi casualties, graphic images of dead babies and women, and at least a few thousand dead American soldiers. An even better war will have the conflict lasting for many months, with U.S. stormtroopers occupying Baghdad. This will inflame the Arab street.
NATO will unravel (which is good, as its mission ended when the Cold War ended). The U.N. may relocate its HQ to Wien or Geneve, which is appropriate...it is absurd that a world body be located in the heart of America. (This will be good for NYC, actually, though not economically.)
Fuck NATO. Fuck the U.N. Fuck the U.S. Security State.
This train wreck is going better than I thought it would.
