So Dubbah is prepping for his Invasion on Iran. Scheduled to roll out this week, so if you're not like me and have cable, be prepared to hear a lot about how messed up Iran is, and how Tehrah is the "new" center for the Anti-american/terrorist community.
Of course this is all bullshit, and of course mostly packed with lies and sensationalism. But that is what makes it so fun, right?
So a little background and predictions on how this might affect our future in this country:
In case this is the only one of my blogs you've read, as highly unlikely it might be, and how highly unlucky you are to be reading such a politically center grouping of words, I have mentioned war with Iran in previous posts.
So, shortly after starting to "rebuild" Iraq, within the second year of being there, it was quite obvious to most folks that Iran was next on the short list of countries bush wants to annihilate. To the few who read as much information as possible, it was apparent that Iran was always a target in the overall "War on Terror" model since before the beginning. Why, you might ask? Based on the moves of the current administration, "why not?" Iran represents everything that the bushies hate. The president is fairly decent person who likes to start waves in the UN against the fascist-imperial-american-state, which any decent person should do. He wants to establish a nuclear power program in his country because NUCLEAR POWER WORKS. Against the common misconceptions, nuclear power is clean, efficient and fairly readily producible for a majority of the countries of this planet. In america however, during the era of decent that folks have in recent times begun to forget (the 50's-70's), the Oil companies spread a little information on how evil nuclear power was, and with a few sabotaged power stations had the fodder to smear the good name of nuclear power. Countries like France, you gotta love the dissenting and generally well intentioned rebels known as the French, said "*cough* BULLSHIT *cough* *cough*" and created their own nuclear programs. France's national power is 70% provided by Nuclear power for the last few decades at least. So Iran wants to start up too. While I would personally push for the development of ambient energy within all countries, Christmas is still a few months away so I'll back off.
Maybe not: with a concerted effort, large scale ambient power companies could easily be "graphed" onto existing power grids to provide free clean energy to millions of people with the only cost going into the production of the plants, and at most one person to monitor them. Let alone a large scale production of individual power boxes that could be provides to "off grid" persons who carried about the planet enough to make a statement against the power elite….
I digress… So of course the boy emperor knows all about Iran's plans, and isn't having it. We can't do much about France, but luckily they are a joke to most americans. In fact I would be willing to argue that most of the region is a joke to americans, but for some reason Iran developing a nuclear program just seems against god's will…or something. Regardless, there has been a rather large Navy fleet (when I heard about there departure last October, the fleet included four aircraft careers, which are the bread and butter of naval operations and come with a rather large complimentary force to protect them) cruising the Persian Gulf since last year (officially). Poised and waiting for any excuse to obliterate Iran, or any other trouble makers, the operations look to be going into effect this week. Bush is of course is unilaterally making a mess of the whole region, and with little explanation really. Somewhere along the line, before the war against Iraq began, congress decided that they were a bunch of spineless sea urchins, wait I take that back because I actually respect spineless sea urchins, and are allowing this dude and his cabinet to go around breaking constitutional and congressional mandates, which of course the most blatant disregard comes in the area of requiring congresses approval to declare war. The wording of course is unless dire emergency, which made the crashing of planes into american buildings a necessity. Since then (and actually since the second world war if you look at it) presidents have had this weird control. The weird part of course is that they are supposed to be representative of the american people, yet they are allowed to live outside of the laws that government and restrict said americans. I'll have to go back and look in my notes from school, but I think that's called fascism. Right?
…. Okay, so with some predictions cause the rambling is out of control. I predicted last year that the POTUS (piece of total unadulterated shit) would strategically poise the war against Iran at a crucial point in his presidency for one sole reason. This asshole could potentially use war anywhere, but most likely with Iran, to declare a state of emergency, put himself at the reigns of a Marshal Law coup de grâce, allowing the 2008 elections to be postponed. This sounds crazy right, well it should. However it is totally possible and written into the constitution of this country. The original intention of course being that if for some unforeseen reasons, we happen to be at war or in a state of emergency, elections would be highly disruptive and nearly impossible to survive politically. After all, how is a president supposed to protect democracy while attending political debates? Dubbah could potentially set at the helm for as long as the state of emergency is effective. This would totally suck, and unfortunately I'm not crazy enough to see it as an impossibility (i.e. I won't be surprised if it happens). Short of getting impeached this week, Bush ain't got shit to worry about.
We are in a war with terror, war with drugs (I think still…right?), war with our brethren across the various ponds and we are at war with ourselves. We are in an invisible, and seldom discussed national economic depression. The country borrows $2Billion a day and spends $0.5Billion on warfare. A DAY!! Most people are completely oblivious to these realities. Some due to sheer blindsiding by the american media, some just don't want to deal with it because their life sucks so bad they spend all their energy trying to get through the day.
We are in a disparaging place this little world of ours. We are faced with a primal desire to live our lives. Of course this basic part of us drives the uglier parts, when hurting people becomes your life. At what point is living your life not good enough, when the lives of others become more important? Will the masses ever realize that we will have to live at peace with other people, let alone the environment that we trash on a minute-by-minute basis, in order to survive the next millennia? According to the smartest people on the planet, we are stuck here with our current technological limitations, which means going to fuck up another planet is not an option. (Unfortunately those smarties are Russian, and america could give a flying fuck about Russians)
This is a depressing time yall, but we have to stick to the bigger picture and try a forge a future for the life on this planet, or believe me it will find a way to purge our destructive species for good.
One more thing real quick, and this is not my prediction, but that of some smarter political analysts. Some folks believe that if dubbah strikes Iran, he will instigate WWIII. I don't think the world has the guts to do this, or they would have when the boy emperor first declared war on the decency of the human race….
As always, go read about it for yourself. Don't trust my crazy ass for anything. I believe america faked the moon landing for crying out loud!!!
