The war-on-Iran has now passed through the deceit stage. The propaganda which led to the invasion of Iraq has been replicated over the past couple of years with Iran the target this time. The next step is to capitalise on the propaganda now that the US people have been softened up by the psyops communications specialists.
The special forces teams have been in Iran for years preparing the ground. We’ll soon see small provocative strikes against ‘terrorist training camps’ in Iran, the inevitable Iranian response to attacks on their sovereignty. Arab people in the region will become even more radicalised against the US, and Israel will sigh relief that the Americans are still behind them. Tactical nuclear strike is the subtext, the implicit violence that even the psychopaths in Washington or London would think very carefully about using - never use your biggest stick, just keep it handy as a threat otherwise you may provoke a retaliation you cannot handle.
Is this any way to run our public life? I am British but I feel no less a part of this Madness of Crowds than anyone in the US or Israel. Powerful western countries (i.e. US and Europe) are rogue states, and since our international laws are powerless to stop them it is time for the people of Europe and the US to stop these governments - by the ballot box, or else. Because the stakes are so high, because governments have already proceeded beyond the pale,. They have gone beyond national sovereignty, beyond the social contract, and so we’ll do the same. We’ll take to the streets, we’ll disempower them, unilaterally if necessary. Pre-emptive strikes are the rule they have written.
