“ I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World
War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”- [Albert Einstein]
The media, the intellectuals, the scientists and the politicians, in
chorus, obfuscate the untold truth, namely that war using nuclear
warheads destroys humanity, and that this complex process of gradual
destruction has already commenced.
When the lie becomes the truth there is no turning backwards.
When war is upheld as a humanitarian endeavor, Justice and the entire
international legal system are turned upside down: pacifism and the
antiwar movement are criminalized. Opposing the war becomes a criminal
act.
"..This a coordinated endeavor of the Pentagon, NATO, Israel's Defense
Force (IDF), with the active military involvement of several non-NATO
partner countries including the frontline Arab states (members of
NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue and the Istanbul Cooperation
Initiative), Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, India, Indonesia,
Singapore, Australia, among others. (NATO consists of 28 NATO member
states Another 21 countries are members of the Euro-Atlantic
Partnership Council (EAPC), The Mediterranean Dialogue and the
Istanbul Cooperation Initiative include ten Arab countries together
with Israel.) .."
"..In post 9/11 military doctrine, this massive deployment of military
hardware has been defined as part of the so-called "Global War on
Terrorism", targeting "non-State" terrorist organizations including al
Qaeda and so-called "State sponsors of terrorism",. including Iran,
Syria, Lebanon, Sudan.."
"..This war is sheer madness.
World War III is terminal. Albert Einstein understood the perils of
nuclear war and the extinction of life on earth, which has already
started with the radioactive contamination resulting from depleted
uranium. “ I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought,
but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

The setting up of new US military bases, the stockpiling of advanced
weapons systems including tactical nuclear weapons, etc. were
implemented as part of the pre-emptive defensive military doctrine
under the umbrella of the "Global War on Terrorism".
'..The UN Security Council adopted in early June a fourth round of
sweeping sanctions against The Islamic Republic of Iran, which
included an expanded arms embargo as well "tougher financial
controls". In a bitter irony, this resolution was passed within days
of the United Nations Secrity Council's outright refusal to adopt a
motion condemning Israel for its attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla
in international waters...'
War and the Economic Crisis
The broader implications of a US-NATO Israel attack on Iran are
far-reaching. The war and the economic crisis are intimately related.
The war economy is financed by Wall Street, which stands as the
creditor of the US administration. The US weapons producers are the
recipients of the US Department of Defense multibillion dollar
procurement contracts for advanced weapons systems. In turn, "the
battle for oil" in the Middle East and Central Asia directly serves
the interests of the Anglo-American oil giants.
The US and its allies are "beating the drums of war" at the height of
a Worldwide economic depression, not to mention the most serious
environmental catastrophe in World history. In a bitter twist, one of
the major players (BP) on the Middle East Central Asia geopolitical
chessboard, formerly known as the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, is the
instigator of the ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Media Disinformation
Public opinion, swayed by media hype is tacitly supportive,
indifferent or ignorant as to the likely impacts of what is upheld as
an ad hoc "punitive" operation directed against Iran's nuclear
facilities rather than an all out war. War preparations including the
use of US and Israeli produced nuclear weapons in terms of their
devastating consequences are trivialised, when compared to the perils
of global warming or the H1N1 pandemic. The war on Iran is presented
to public opinion as an issue among others. It is not a threat to
Mother Earth as in the case of global warming. It is not front-page
news. The fact that an attack on Iran could lead to escalation and
potentially unleash a "global war" is not a matter of concern.
The Cult of Killing and Destruction
The global killing machine is also sustained by an imbedded cult of
killing and destruction which pervades Hollywood movies, not to
mention the prime time war and crime TV series. This cult of killing
is endorsed by the CIA and the Pentagon which also support (finance)
Hollywood productions as an instrument of war propaganda:
"Ex-CIA agent Bob Baer told us, "There’s a symbiosis between the
CIA and Hollywood" and revealed that former CIA director George Tenet
is currently, "out in Hollywood, talking to studios." (Matthew Alford
and Robbie Graham, Lights, Camera… Covert Action: The Deep Politics of
Hollywood, global research, January 31, 2009).
The killing machine is deployed at a global level, within the
framework of the unified combat command structure. It is routinely
upheld by the institutions of government, the corporate media and the
mandarins and intellectuals of the New World Orders from within
Washington's think tanks and strategic studies research institutes, as
an unquestioned instrument of peace and global prosperity.
A culture of killing and violence has become imbedded in human consciousness.
War is broadly accepted as part of a societal process: The Homeland
needs to be "defended" and protected.
"Legitimized violence" and extrajudicial killings directed against
"terrorists" are upheld in western democracies, as necessary
instruments of "law and order".
A "humanitarian war" is upheld by the so-called international
community. It is not condemned as a criminal act. Its main architects
are rewarded for their contributions to world peace.
With regard to Iran, what is unfolding is the outright legitimization
of war in the name of an illusive notion of global security.
.."
"..Known and documented, the real threat to global security emanates
from the US-NATO-Israel alliance, yet realities in an inquisitorial
environment are turned upside down: the warmongers are committed to
peace, the victims of war are presented as the protagonists of war..."
