"Innocence of Muslims", the GOP and World War III


“Innocence of Muslims”, the GOP and World War III


by  Jim Fetzer


We are being told by ABC News that Iran has launched a submarine and a destroyer into the Persian Gulf from Bandar Abbas port on Tuesday at the same time as U.S. and allied forces held massive naval exercises in the same waters to practice keeping oil shipping lanes open.
Tehran has repeatedly threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a route for oil exports from the gulf, if Iranian nuclear sites are attacked by Israel, which believes Tehran is trying to develop an atomic bomb. But think about it.
As Mike Rivero observesthis may well be a propaganda run-up to a false flag attack in which one of Israel’s Dolphin submarines, admitted by Germany to be armed with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, sneaks up along the Iranian cost and fires an attack at a US ship, quite possibly the soon-to-be-scrapped USS Enterprise. So, ahead of hearing the Big Bang and the inevitable screams from Israel’s presstitutes at ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX. Just use your common sense and ask yourself why Iran, trying as hard as they can to avoid a war, would initiate such a foolish attack? As a reminder, Iran has not started a war in over 300 years.  And a “false flag” attack under these circumstances would be all too easy to arrange.  We are on the verge of World War III.  How did we reach this point?
With the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US military-industrial-complex was on the verge of losing its principal justification for the gravy train of producing endless arms and ammunition to restrain the relentless expansion of the Communist Empire. It desperately needed a new, alternative “boogie man” to keep the conveyor belts moving and its profits–from increasingly technical and expensive weapon systems–soaring, where nothing could work better than some shadowy and elusive enemy in the form of “terrorists”, whose identity has no geographic boundaries and where “terrorist acts”, like the Bali bombing, can be arranged at any time it would be politically expedient.  If the government claims such an act was done by “a terrorist”, very few are in the position to explain that it was actually Blackwater (now “Xe”), Delta Forces, or the CIA.
The fabrication of the events of 9/11, which were done with complicity by the Mossad, fulfilled that objective perfectly, especially by blaming those attacks on 19 Islamic fanatics under the control of a guy off in a cave in Afghanistan.  Few have noticed that the first reported claims of responsibility were attributed to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as Preston James and I explained in “Peeling the 9/11 Onion: Layers of Plots within Plots” (2011). 15 of the 19 “hijackers” were from Saudi Arabia, but no one here seemed to notice.
That Osama had been “our man in Afghanistan” was never acknowledged and, although stories of “blowback” have abounded, until this latest series of protests, which appear to represent the culmination of the decade of abuse of Muslims as a people and Islam as a religion, they seemed fabricated or contrived.  Certainly, the low road taken by the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld troika, which, in “9/11 and the Neo-Con Agenda” (2008), I likened to a crime syndicate masquerading as an administration, sowed the seeds for bona-fide “blowback”.
The Assassination of an Ambassador
The deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, information management officer (“propaganda specialist”) Sean Smith, and two others may have been cunningly contrived.  In his recollections of Stevens, French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy has remarked, “This time, the imbeciles have won”, because the ambassador was among the strongest friends of the Islamic world the US has ever placed in the field.  While my thoughts about this are somewhat speculative, it may have instead been part of the plan to use the excited protest against this deliberately provocative film, “Innocence of Muslims”, as a cover to take out one of our most effective ambassadors, where there are reasons to believe that he was not going to go along with new plans to destabilize Libya once again.  Sen. John McCain, who recently visited Benghazi, has laid the responsibility for his murder on Obama for not paying enough attention to foreign affairs, which suggests that this incident may be part of the GOP “game plane” to elect Mitt Romney by attacking the President’s foreign policy. There are reports that the attackers may have had help from inside the consulate.
Bear in mind that the Israels are the most accomplished practitioners of “false flag” ops in the world today.  You do not have to go back to the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946 when a gang of Irgun terrorists dressed as Arabs murdered 91 and injured another 46; or the attack on the USS Liberty in 1967, when Israeli fighters torpedoed and strafed an American spy ship during the Six Day War, killing 34 and wounding 170; or the bombing of its own Embassy in Bueos Aires, Argentina, in 1992, which did not result in enough deaths, so they bombed the Jewish Community Center for greater political effect in 1994 (“False Flag Attacks in Argentina: 1992 and 1994″, with Adrian Salbuchi).  But the massacres at Sabra and Shatila in 1982 are nice illustrations of the duplicity of the nation’s highest leaders, where Arial Sharon provided cover for the massacre of between 762 and 3,500 Palestinian and Lebanese Shiite civilians by a Lebanese Christian Phalangist militia, while the IDF illuminated the streets to facilitate the killing. So taking out Ambassador Stevens under the cover of this protest would have posed no problems for the Mossad.
The “Innocence of Muslims” as Provocation 
Of course, those who understand the history of the three great Abrahamic religions are aware of their common origins, but that kind of knowledge and sensitivity is exceedingly rare in the USA. As Christof Lehmann observes, “Hollywood stirs Middle East Plot“, Asia Times (18 September 2012), it is rather difficult to imagine that this inferior, low-budget film and those earlier cartoon denigrations of the Prophet Mohammed could possibly explain the resistance they have met in the Middle East, which appears instead to be the latest manifestation of decades of stereotyping of Arabs that has come from Hollywood. Westerners and non-Muslims are seemingly so used to the scapegoating, stereotyping and denigration of Muslims and in particular Arab Muslims in art and entertainment, he remarks, that they don’t realize the degree to which the Western news and entertainment industry, and in particular Hollywood–which is largely dominated by individuals who are dedicated to the cause of Zionism and to promoting Israel’s interests–is representationally depriving an entire population, predominantly Muslim, of its essential humanity.
As Lehmann also reports, the Arab American scholar, D Jack Shaheen, had himself reviewed more than 1,000 movies, from the oldest Hollywood productions to the greatest blockbuster productions up to 2001 before publishing Real Bad Arabs, How Hollywood Vilifies a People. Shaheen concluded that no less than 300 movies, more than 25% of those he studied, vilified Arabs and Muslims in one way or the other, which represents an effort comparable to World War II Nazi propaganda against the Jewish people. This extensive and enduring cinematic portrayal of Arabs, especially Palestinians, creates a cultural background against which current events have to be understood. Even the Disney Classic “Aladdin”, which has been seen by millions of people worldwide, affords an example of Hollywood’s dehumanizing approach. The gullible and naive, especially children, are subtly induced to believe that Arab countries are typified by barbaric practices, such as where innocent women have their hands amputated for forgetting to pay at the bizarre; and, in other films, as he explains, Arab men are depicted as imbecilic and super-rich, sex-addicted tyrants, who not only mistreat their women but especially American women, who are kidnapped and sold off to sleazy Arabs at auctions. That theme is nicely illustrated by “Taken”(2008), where a retired CIA agent (played by Liam Neeson) travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his daughter, who was kidnapped on a trip to Paris and sold at auction to a wealth Arab sheik.  Even my wife and I enjoyed the film, which I am embarrassed to admit, but it is of that kind.
The film as Zionist anti-Muslim Propaganda 
According to The Washington Post (14 September 2012), the man who goes by the name, “Sam Bacile”, turns out to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, if that indeed is his real name, who has been convicted of financial crimes. By making the film, he may have violated the terms of his parole and could be sent back to prison.  He pleaded “no contest” to bank fraud charges in 2010 and was banned from using computers or the internet or the use of false identities as part of his sentence.  Kakoula has identified himself as a “Coptic Christian”, where much of the film was apparently shot inside the offices of Media for Christ, a non-profit based in Duarte, an area of Los Angeles, CA, which has raised more than $1,000,000 to “glow Jesus’ light” to the world.  A Hermit, CA, man who was script advisor for the film, Steven Klein, has reported having received several death threats, but claims this was an exercise of his First Amendment rights and that he is prepared to die defending them.
The most reasonable interpretation of the production of this film, where the actors themselves did not know the roles they were destined to play when it was edited, like earlier cartoons belittling the Prophet Mohammed, is that it was intended to inflame tensions in the Middle East, which have already been exacerbated by the ongoing presence of US military forces in Iraq and in Afghanistan, not to mention their presence in Pakistan and the on-going use of predator drones.  So much of what is taking place has to be understood as stage props in political theater, none of which have been more blatant than the second killing of Osama bin Laden or concealing the first death of Saddam Hussein, which I summarized in “9/11: Have we been bamboozled?” (2012).  The political situation relative to the presidential election to be held in November suggests that this may be part and parcel of a plan to salvage the prospects of Mitt Romney, who has staked virtually his entire political fortunes on the claim that Barack Obama has a failed foreign policy.
The Master Plan: to take over 7 nations in 5 years
Remember that Wesley Clark, the former Supreme Allied Commander Europe (a 4-star general), acknowledged that he had been informed of plans for the US to attack 7 countries in 5 years at The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco (3 October 2007).  Most of the countries on that list, including Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, have been taken over, where the battle for Syria continues to rage and that for Iran appears to be about to begin.  We have reports that Iran is supporting Syria, which makes excellent sense, and it would come as no surprise if Russia were not doing what it can to maintain the Assad regime in place.  In my view, if Russia were to declare that any attack on Iran would be regarded as an attack on Russia, it would bring about a high degree of stability and end the hysterical calls for attacking Iran, which have been promoted by Benjamin Netanyahu, especially, who turns out to be a close friend of Mitt Romney and may even believe he would be in the position to dictate US foreign policy were Romney to be elected.
A situation like this would be inconceivable in times past when there was domestic disagreement between the political parties in the United States but still unanimity in foreign affairs.  As David Kerans (3 October 2012), has explained, however, the parties have become so polarized that even foreign policy is no longer bipartisan.  Since the misconceived “Citizens United” decision by the Supreme Court to allow corporations unlimited spending on political advertising, the US has become increasingly under the control of the rich and powerful.  Economic discussion is dominated by free market theology, which has no basis in reality, since the conditions that Adam Smith declared necessary for free markets, including transparency in pricing and the absence of monopolies, do not exist in America today and are one more part of the illusional ideology known as “American exceptionalism”.  When an administration can murder 3,000 of its own citizens, fabricate evidence and promote political myths, which is the grim reality of 9/11, it should be apparent to the world that the US is no longer a responsible member of the community of nations.
Coping with disinformation and propaganda
Most of what is going on in the US and the world today that affects public opinion about the war on terror and the ongoing aggression in the Middle East is, like the events of 9/11, either phony or contrived.  Wayne Madsen (“Wayne Madsen Reports”, 23-24 July 2012), for example, has found several links between James Holmes of the Aurora, CO, “Batman” shooting, and U.S. government research: “James Holmes, the 24-year old suspect in the mass shooting of Batman ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ movie goers in Aurora, Colorado that left 12 people dead and 58 injured, has had a number of links to U.S. government-funded research centers. Holmes’s past association with government research projects has prompted police and federal law enforcement officials to order laboratories and schools with which Holmes has had a past association not to talk to the press about Holmes.” This is very suspicious on its face and suggests the possibility of mind-control.
Similarly, Madsen has also discovered (7-8 August 2012) that the dead suspected gunman who opened fire inside a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin served from April 1992 to October 1998 as a member of the psychological operations unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. “CNN cited a ‘Pentagon source’ claiming Page was discharged from the Army in 1998 for “patterns of misconduct.” However, the U.S. Army only revealed that Page was awarded several medals, including good conduct medals and a humanitarian service medal.”  This does not prove that these were staged events, but they certainly create that presumption.  And CNN has also just reported (16 September 2012), “Egypt’s prime minister said some of the thousands involved in days of protest near the US Embassy got paid to participate, state news reported Saturday, the same day riot police managed to force demonstrators from the area”.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to sort out which events are real and which are Memorex.
Setting the Stage for World War III
It’s a matter of setting the stage for further and more ominous actions.  The UK “Telegraph” (15 September 2012), has now reported that an armada of US and British naval power is massing in the Persian Gulf in the belief that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons program: ”Cruisers, aircraft carriers and minesweepers from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war. . . . In preparation for any pre-emptive or retaliatory action by Iran, warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, will today begin an annual 12-day exercise.”  We have here what may well be the ingredients for a “perfect storm”.
The situation is completely absurd: Iran has not attacked any other nation for over 300 years.  Iran has renounced development of atomic weapons. Iran has signed the NPT and allowed inspectors into its facilities. Israel, by contrast, has 200-600 or more of these little beauties, has not signed the NPT and does not allow inspectors into its facilities.  Yet its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, “King Bibi: ‘Red Line’ with Iran Means War Next 60 Days“, YouTube (16 September 2012), has demanded the US draw a “red line” to demarcate developments by Iran that would commit the US to war.  The US so far has refused to do that, which may itself be a “false front” by the Obama administration.  But the situation is enormously fraught with hazard and represents the greatest threat of precipitating World War III since the Cuban Missile Crisis, when cooler heads and higher intelligence prevailed.

  1. My great fear is that the US and Israel are going to attack Iran on Yom Kippur, 25 September 2012, in the mistaken belief that a nuclear war is "winnable" and that our technology, including the "Iron Dome" over Israel and satellite-mounted laser systems, will protect us. That, I am quite certain, is not going to stop massive retaliation by Russia and Iran, which is going to incinerate much of the United States. The leaders of our nation and of our "gallant ally" in the Middle East have lost their minds. Our destiny is in the grip of a group of men who are mentally and morally depraved and have lost any semblance of humanity.

  2. The men who run the planet know that their days are numbered, and they will try to take the entire world down with them when they go. The scorched earth policy. This is the mind set of lunatics like Dick Cheney, Benjamin Netanyahu and the rest. If they can't win, they will try to make sure that everyone loses. Short of divine intervention, if such a thing is forthcoming, we are in very serious trouble.

  5. A very trenchant, provocative, scholarly and chilling essay, Dr. Fetzer. Congratulations!But you did overlook the possible, long-range motivation (eventually taking down Arabia too) for selecting mostly Saudis as hijacker-patsies.

    And it's really past time for you to stop robotically repeating the disinfo-cliche' "killing 3000 of its own citizens," since there are strong "Clues" that suggest the 9/11 TV spectacular included plenty of victim, as well as video, fakery.

    Nevertheless, the disgusting, wholly avoidable wars-for-the-Jews that resulted murdered a far HIGHER number of victims of SEVERAL nationalities, including Americans.

  7. I can’t help but think at this time of the previous histories, to a great degree suppressed: the deep and backdoor politics over the last century that have been conducted through secret agreements, arrangements, societies and circles. I think of the disclosure of Kissinger’s role in the triangulation of the 3 great powers of the United States, Russia and China, his role in opening up China, his backdoor permission about the sale of Centralign gyroscopic nuclear targeting devices to the USSR, the numerous shenanigans around the Russian nuclear sub’s accidental self-destruction incident off Pearl Harbor, the mysterious roles of certain software programs with backdoors (let alone the current technologies of cyber warfare), the focus of Kissinger’s doctoral thesis on the maintenance of the balance of power and the new world order (itself not easily or widely available), his role in Operation Paperclip, Dulles’ role (using the BIS) in forestalling peace entreaties from Japan so we could demonstrate the A-Bomb upon the Japanese people (or his earlier role in placing in international papers the meme that a certain publication was a forgery), the role of the Wall Street Banksters in funding both Nazism and Bolshevism, or the numerous shenanigans regarding the theft or black market availability or mis-appropriation of nuclear materials or the weapons themselves. Layered on top of this, of course, is the vast history of both false flags and secret psy-ops of recent past. It is past the time when we need to look at these kinds of things as independent actions of sovereign states and their agencies and begin to examine them as the hidden actions of a handful of hidden agentry of deep, historical malignancy.

  8. First of all, I would like to see the evidence that Ambassador J Christopher Stevens (whose death was FAKED using a rubber puppet) was such a "friend of the Islamic world" as Jim alleges. I wouldn't believe anything that Ultra-Zionist Bernard-Henri Levy says: he, like Stevens, was one of the key players in the run-up to NATO's rape of Libya. Also, I have limited trust in the Iranian clerical (some would say "clerical-fascist") dictatorship; the Khomeini regime was put in place by the CIA and MI-6 when the ill health of Shah Reza Palevi posed the threat of Iran's falling into the hands of a regime that was not reliably anti-communist. The Khomeini counterrevolution (like Hitler's counterrevolution) allayed the fears of the Western finance capitalists by eliminating Iranian socialists and trade-union leaders in mass executions. Otherwise, I think Jim's article was a monumental attempt at laying out just where things stand.

    I think we have to realize that there was much more to the Nazi rat lines than has been brought to public attention, and my conviction is that there has long existed a Nazi Underground Reich - not a "Fourth", but the continuation of the Third - that is reflected in the M.O.s and geopolitical strategies of Third Reich-rooted political assets such as the Ultra-Zionist (or Second-Generation Zionist) Haganah (currently represented by the Likud), the Muslim Brotherhood, NATO, many of those behind the European Union, and especially the U.S. CIA. It was no accident that the Bush Family, who were Nazi allies and Nazi enablers before and during WWII, played a pivotal role through five administrations (including those of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan) in the JFK assassination, the ascendancy of the Straussian Neo-Cons, and the 9/11 coup d'état. I would urge readers to familiarize themselves with the anti-fascist archives of broadcaster Dave Emory at http://spitfirelist.com/audio/afa-complete-audio/

    Why is Jim Fetzer collaborating with a known Nazi killer? Doesn't he know that Dave Emory isn't full of bullshit? If Dave says Honegger's a Nazi assassin tasked with rubbing out honest conspiracy researchers, then Fetzer's either in great danger or, presumably, a Nazi himself!

  11. Dick Dean, Nazism is only a laughing matter for those who, for one or another reason, don't take Nazism seriously. I'll leave it to the imagination of other readers to decide what that might be in your case. Speaking of Barbara Honneger, for those wishing to know the particulars of how George Bush Sr, Richard Helms, and the CIA engineered the Iranian hostage crisis with the help of Iranian SAVAK (the root of the October Surprise that Honneger helped expose), listen here to Dave Emory's interview with Iranian Resistance member Fara Monsour: http://emory.kfjc.org/archive/afa/afa_38_2b.mp3 There is some good history here exposing the roots of the alliance between Islamic fundamentalism and US intelligence under Allen Dulles.

    3. I just realized that the Monsour interview has a second part here: http://emory.kfjc.org/archive/afa/afa_38_2c.mp3 This is an important look into the workings of the ruling echelons of the CIA and the US State Department. Elsewhere in the anti-fascist audio archives (AFA) Emory deals with the origins of Allen Dulles and SS Major General Reinhardt Gehlen's creation, not all lower functionaries of which have ever had the slightest inklings of whose true history and geopolitical purpose, including people like Barbara Honegger. Many of those who joined Hitler's NSDAP were similarly unaware of the scope of the organization's crimes, believing that they were serving the national interests of Germany. The CIA is a Nazi asset in that it shares the same origins and the same geopolitical role as the German Sicherheitdienst (SD), namely to bring in the New World Order (Hitler's Neue Weltordnung), a world order free of troublesome organizations cast up by the wageslaves.

  14. Hey, AtlantaBill, what's your take on the work of Antony Sutton, particularly in regard to the alleged common "controlling hand" behind both Russian communism and German nazism?

    As for Barbie Honnegger, her "Galloping" Pentagon narrative, compelling as it sounds, has always troubled me -- in that it seems rather counter-intuitive to have it be continually and aggressively promoted (without suffering career or personal harm) by a civilian instructor at a war college.

I have reprimanded her two or three times for using the word "plane" to describe what she takes to have been the crash of a Global Hawk at the Pentagon, in support of which she shows a photo of a large number of tiny pieces of what appear to be metal. During The Vancouver Hearing, I referred to this photo as "rubbish". I am very troubled that she keeps coming back to the use of this word, over and over again. That is not right.

  15. Andy, I'm only vaguely familiar with Anthony Sutton, but his historiography has the ring of veracity until you try to reconcile what he says about Trotsky and Lenin: that the British Foreign Office helped Trotsky and the German General Staff helped Lenin, to get them both back into Russia. Unless you accept that the "Jewish interests" who supposedly "stabbed Germany in the back" to maneuver the U.S. into the war (a theory propounded by people who like Sutton) were planning their conspiracy very far in advance, it makes no sense for the British Foreign Office to plot to pull Russia out of the war, as this would threaten their defeat to Germany. After all, the British establishment aren't suicidal. As for donations of large sums to Lenin and Trotsky, it is true that there was some "old money" and were even a few small entrepreneurs who were favorable to the socialist cause. As someone who comes out of the working class and part-Irish, too, it's hard for me to take an English prig like Sutton seriously as I watch him interviewed.

    The idea of the global "controlling hand" is one that I associate with people such as Lew Rockwell (John Birch Society, JBS) and G Edward Griffin, who seems to share a lot with the JBS. Griffin's THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND lays out a good case that the Federal Reserve System is the result of a conspiracy, and I'm inclined to believe that rather than the alternative history that says that the robber barons who were involved were some sort of financial patriots. Unfortunately, the second half of Griffin's book is a repetition of the social fantasy that was created by industrial capital's major think tank and PR firm, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), as a reaction to FDR's New Deal and disseminated by "popular" groups whose history also includes deep involvement in the pro-Hitler, pro-Mussolini milieu that funded/funds the Nazis and eventually spawned the John Birch Society and the Aryan Nations. This, I believe, is the main source for the "controlling hand" meme: its purpose is to spread pessimism regarding the long history of working-class movements to overthrow the rule of capital: "don't waste your time reading Marx", as it were, "since Marx was merely another agent of the Rothschild bankers" (Griffin), or "a British agent" if you believe Webster Tarpley's resurrection of an old myth advanced by ruling British interests (Oh, I forgot; these were actually Venetian oligarchs masquerading as British!). A very good exposé of the anti-FDR PR campaign of NAM was done by BBC's Adam Curtis, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTba8GHSKjE Here's some info on the connections of Bunker Hunt (of JBS and JFK-assassination fame) with actual stay-behind Nazis and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD, the intelligence service of the German Nazi SS) and a group called the "Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations": http://emory.kfjc.org/archive/afa/afa_15c.mp3

  16. So, Dr. Fetzer, you actually read one of my previous comments here and politely, promptly replied to it. Thank you very much! But then why won't you also reply to the multiple requests (make that pleadings, on my part) for you to confront and comment on the compelling evidence of substantial (maybe even massive) VICTIM FAKERY on 9/11? Could it be that you've gotten so deeply into the habit of robotically repeating the shibboleth "they killed 3,000 of their own people" that you can't even consider that this tally may be just as phony as the holo(holy)caustic, kabbalistic-magic number of 6,000,000? We know the perps murdered (through sanctions, invasions, bombings, torture, and drone strikes) MILLIONS more, once the 9/11 hoax succeeded -- but maybe the towers and "planes" fatalities weren't really as big as we were made to believe. Please, please read the SeptemberClues "Vicsim Report" and then tell us what your reaction is.

  17. If the hostage taking event in Tehran was an event staged by the Americans, as it may well have been, then, given the fact that Ahmadinajad was one of the hostage takers, is it reasonable to suppose that he is STILL working for the Americans? There can be no question but that many of his comments are designed to infuriate public opinion in Israel, and in the United States. He questions the holocaust (whether or not it really did take place is beside the point, the result of his comments is that they infuriate Jewish public opinion, and this is the point), and he stated in the United Nations words to the effect that a new inquiry was needed into the events of 911, intimating what we all know to be true, that it was an inside job. None of this proves that he is still working for the Americans, but there is no question that he is playing into their hands with, and into the hands of Israel with his public comments.

    1. Jim, I thought it was shameful that the Press TV interviewer didn't do justice with your credentials, but merely identified you as a "philosopher", which doesn't require any formal background, nor mention your notoriety as a political analyst and researcher. Unlike the way they treat DOCTOR Webster Tarpley. Even so, I go to Press TV regularly because their news coverage these days usually surpasses that of Russia Today.

  19. I agree with every word of your article on Iran and would like to add two. The military industrial media incarceration complex (MIMIC) wants to create just enough global havoc, especially in the Middle East, in order to drive down Obama's favorable numbers and lead to a statistical dead heat with Mutt RobMe so that the Repugs can steal another presidential election. The fact that the Repugs are attacking the president on his strong foreign policy position says Turd Blossom Carl Rove's fingers are all over this ugly gambit. The Repugs look at the murder of our ambassador as simple collateral damage if they can get the result they are attempting to force on the American people. It boggles the mind to hear all the war talk against Iran, a nation which hasn't attacked anyone since the Ottoman Empire. They've done all the right things as you noted and Israel has done none of these, despite the fact their vast nuclear arsenal remains a secret. The hypocrisy of this contrived situation would be laughable if the stakes weren't so serious. The US government is using the social networks in the Middle East to spread violent reaction. The peoples in this area of the world wouldn't have a clue about this evil movie if someone didn't make a tremendous effort to incite a reaction. Our stupid media make no attempts to place the blame where it belongs right here in the good ol' US of A. MIMIC and Romney want the White House and they'll do whatever is necessary to snatch it. Are you aware Mutt RobMe isn't even making a run for the Oval Office? He's not making a furious, last minute barn storming of key states. This is unheard of. This says he knows something or he's waiting for some sinister shoe to fall, just like Dubya did in that Florida classroom. Jim, these are dangerous times. Obama would do well to limit his public appearances where a sniper could do him in. This movie was thrust into our politics to drive down Obama's lead in order to get it within the margin of error. Then, the Repug computer criminals will do their job of juggling the tabulation in Mutt's favor. Don't say you didn't hear it here first. If this campaign is allowed to run it's distance without interference, Obama wins by a landslide. However, the Romney Repugs will spend the next 50 days doing everything possible to squeeze the polls close enough for another spectacular theft. Stay tuned for the dramatic and probably disastrous conclusion.

  21. In partial agreement with Melvin,

    “Shaheen concluded that no less than 300 movies, more than 25% of those he studied, vilified Arabs and Muslims in one way or the other, which represents an effort comparable to World War II Nazi propaganda against the Jewish people.”

    There is nothing wrong with Shaheen’s work, I’ve recommended it at this blog myself. But under partial state control the movie industry under the Third Reich produced just three films where Jews were portrayed negatively. And we never stop hearing about them, that’s why Jim Fetzer and others suppose there have to been many more.

    Before Hollywood began routinely denigrating Arabs and Muslims it first had to denigrate White people as such and undermine Christianity as a distinctive part of their traditional culture. The never ending stream of anti-Nazi movies produced by Jews in Hollywood, which even today dwarfs the tiny number of anti-Jewish films produced by the Nazis, is only the most obvious example of this.

    If this and other cultural assaults had not happened and White Americans still thought and acted in their own interests, they would recognise the Jews’ anti-Arab and pro-war propaganda as being good for Jews and bad for them, and be in a position to counter it.

    Jim Fetzer’s inability here to distinguish self-serving Jewish lies, principally disseminated via mainstream media, from fact, is a part of the problem of White America’s general confusion about history, justice and right action.

  22. General Wesley Clark was mentioned in the OP, consider him as an example of a 90% politically corrected majority American, somewhat akin to Jim Fetzer. He was happy to bomb White Serbia to Hell when Serbs decided they wanted their own country for their own culture - he had totally absorbed the first and earlier level of Jewish racial conditioning. But when Arabs and Muslims were being lined up for the same remedial NATO treatment, he balked. The subsequent and quite recent Jewish mind-scripting regarding the Islamic world hadn’t taken root. It’s a harder sell because for decades Americans have been told that any expression of White racial, ethnic or cultural identity is stupid, crazy and evil, while all expressions of non-White groups’ racial, ethnic or cultural identity are valid and worthy.

    This double standard worked just fine for most purposes until recently, but when the scope of Jewish aggression was extended beyond White people and Palestinians to include the entire Muslim Middle East at least, some furious rewriting was called for, putting Muslims as such alongside White people as such in the role of designated baddies and acceptable targets for attack. 9/11 was a big part of that and other Hollywood productions likewise, but there are still some White American true believers in the absolute inviolability of non-White cultures even as White Americans themselves are being replaced bodysnatcher style by Mexicans and others at a genocidal rate. Either way though, pro-Jewish/anti-White double standards prevail, and even without any additional anti-Islamic agitation or sentiment, this critically compromises the anti-war movement - and the pro-war interests know it. That’s why we always find among the leadership of the controlled anti-war movement so many people who are hyper-aggressive against the right of Europeans and other White peoples to enjoy freedom from colonisation, race-replacement migration, racial discrimination in the form of affirmative action, etc. Think Pilger, Duff, Cockburn, Goodman, Blakeney, Raimondo, Paul, Galloway...

    It’s not only that their position is objectively racist, denying to all peoples that happen to be White what they defend and promote for all peoples that happen not to be, and that this undermines the claim that e.g. Palestinians or Iraqis have a ‘right’ to live free and unmolested in their homelands. But by insisting that our former ethno states be transformed, against our known wishes, into ‘proposition nations’ defined by expressly universal standards, they create the ideological justification used by their pro-war fellow anti-Whites to intervene in other countries when these standards are challenged.

    Where loyalty to a people is replaced with loyalty to an idea that’s said to have universal truth, it becomes necessary to oppose alternatives to that idea, or that model of political order, wherever that opposition arises. And so we get wars against the Islamic world sold with feelgood liberal slogans about protecting religious minorities, emancipating and uplifting women, bringing democracy to the unfree world and so on.

    It’s all obvious bullshit, but it’s impossible to argue against seriously under the prevailing moral settlement because the same logic underpins the race-replacement and oppression of White peoples which project is taboo to question.

  23. The Salafist terrorists bombed the Syrian Department of Defense over Yom Kippur, but there was no Israeli attack. I wonder whether the attack on the Syrian defense headquarters was planned earlier to put Syrian air defense out of service to clear the way for an Israeli overflight to Iran and wasn't called off when the Israeli attack didn't come off. I wonder further whether the Israeli attack didn't happen because there was push-back in the Israeli military and there was not time enough to call off the Syrian terrorist bombing.

  24. Colby was a catholic, and kissinger once said (in regards to colby) Thats the trouble with catholics, they have a pathological need to always confess things

    HAA!

    Colby was telling secrets to senator decamp about the FRANKLIN SCANDAL.

    AND anyone who can discount the NAZI INFLUENCE IS IGNORANT. READ NAZI INTERNATIONAL BY FERRELL
    OR BETTER YET, MARTIN BORMAN NAZI IN EXILE IS FREE ON SPITFIRELIST.COM

    THE BEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist

    And the guidestones say "MAINTAIN" not REDUCE the population, so they're referring to a future rebuilding time,not now.
