More on the United States War Machine

Well I just had to "share" the following material, as the posting even suggested that I do.  Let me just say I didn't know to what extent that the United States was up to its ass in interventions in Iran.  In 1988 they apparently shot down a civilian Iranian airliner just for the Hell of it.  That's when we backed Saddam Hussein against Iran (for the most part) in their eight year war.  It seems that installing the Shaw of Iran in 1953 or whatever was entirely motivated by OIL, (not Occupation Iraqi Liberation)  The US got forty percent of their oil and the Europeans got sixty percent.  There has been a "sixty five year program" to foment war with Iran, so Shawn Hannity is a little late to the party just discovering that now.  Of course I didn't know to what extent the most extreme forms of torture were used including electric shocks and cigarette burns to a man's genitals.  Sometimes they lop off both arm and ship the armless torso back to the relatives, like something out of the Godfather.  We are reminded that in over two thousand years, Iran hasn't invaded anybody.  And back when they WERE in the expansionist business they were allied with the Jews.  If the Jews read their Bible then they'd know that.  In fact so much of "classic Jewish thought" was developed during the time when the Jews were in Iranian captivity.  There is a propensity to see us as the good guy trying to stop the bad guy who's half mad- - from developing a nuclear bomb.  It's hard to know who to believe these days.  If we listen to Sean Hannity- - the US has offered to do everything for Iran in terms of concessions, except perhaps to build the Bomb for them, to be used against us.  It's hard to know who to believe.  Apparently the Iranians did NOT have anything to do with fomenting that Shiite revolution in Yemen.  Well that Jewish guy on Washington Journal on C-Span says they did.  Who do we believe?  Well here is a bunch more sintelating stuff.  It seems when I import writings, my ratings go up.

People All over the World Want Peace … But the Military-Industrial Complex Wants War

U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said that a deal with Iran wouldn’t necessarily prevent war.  Military.com reports:

The U.S. will reserve the right to use military force to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon even if a deal is reached Iran’s nuclear program, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Tuesday.

“The military option certainly will remain on the table,” Carter said as negotiators in Lausanne, Switzerland, struggled to reach an agreement ahead of a March 31 deadline.

“One of my jobs is to make sure all options are on the table,’ Carter said in remarks at Syracuse University and earlier on NBC’s “Today” program.

We thought that Iran getting nuclear weapons was the main reason we were thinking of bombing them.  So if a peace deal is signed with the U.S., why are we still talking about bombing them?  What’s going on?  In reality, top American and Israeli military and intelligence officials say that Iran poses no danger.   But the hawks have desperately been trying to stir up war with Iran for decades, as part of a 65-year program of regime change all over the world carried out by the U.S.  And the U.S. has inserted itself smack dab in the middle of a religious war … and is backing the most violent side. And see this.   So the notion bears repeating that the American people want peace, but the military-industrial complex wants war.
