Another Neocon puppet bites the dust: first orange, and now rose!

The Neocon-engineered “blitzkriegs” don’t seem to be working very well these days: after the fiasco of the Olmert/Saniora invasion of South Lebanon back in July 2006, now it’s the turn of the puppet government of Georgia- I think they were called the “Rose revolutionaries” by Wolfowitz & Co just like Lebanon’s March 14 clowns were labeled “Orange” a testimony to the Pharisees’ enduring love of color-coded PR horseshit.

Georgia is now deservingly being licked by Russia…while Bush, Cheney and the Israel amen corner stand by and “express their heartfelt sympathy to the Georgian government”: with Neocon friends like these, who needs Russian enemies?

Russian ambassador Churkin summed up the situation pretty neatly yesterday:
“It is the president of Georgia who launched this reckless operation, hoping it was going to be a short triumphant war”:

Russia is reasserting its traditional power in the Northern Middle-East: the world is progressively moving back to a pre-1917 non-Marxist and non-Wilsonian logic.

Ironically the Neocon (self-proclaimed “intellectual heirs” to President Wilson and Leon Trotsky) will have accelerated the return of the authoritarian “raison d’état” ideology they tried to destroy!

RON PAUL’S SPEECH IN IOWA

Great speech Ron Paul delivered in Iowa 2 days ago:

“Unfortunately [Bush and the Neocons] have allowed our defense to slip: we are now overreached and we have been weakened.
I think 911 quite frankly could have been prevented […] The airlines weren’t even permitted to protect their passengers.
The Neocons are not real conservatives […] they do not have the respect for our national borders […] We should never reward illegal immigration.
We were not meant to be the policemen of the world […]
You pay to go bomb bridges in Iraq, then you pay to rebuild them, and our bridges are falling down here [in America]
Freedom is not something new and strange and neither is it ancient: it’s recent. The ideas of liberty were really introduced to the world through this country [America] […].
Tyranny is ancient and unfortunately [because of Bush] this country is returning to tyranny: more and more centralized government and more and more control […]
Join us in this campaign for freedom and liberty”

Neocons and Al-Qaeda Allied Against the US

It’s a shame what Bush and the Neocon are doing these days: trying to force their despicable amnesty law (a.k.a. “the immigration bill”) on a pliable Congress…

The usual Pro-Israel propagandists such as David Brooks of The New York Times think that those who oppose the president’s inequitable immigration bill are either “rightwing bigots” or “illiterate Christian peasants”. Pick your favorite liberal slur…
Yeah sure comrade David-ovich: nationalism is always “smart” and dandy as long as it’s Hebrew nationalism…otherwise it’s just despicable gentile “bigotry”!

Interestingly, these pro-Israel traitors in the White House and the mainstream media happen to have the support of Washington-based Wahhabi groups such as CAIR and other Al-Qaeda-friendly cum Saudi-funded terrorist outlets…
Why you may ask?

For a very simple reason: Al-Qaeda and the Israeli government both want to destroy our country by keeping our borders wide open to “multicultural” (read: non Western) settlers from Judea, Arabia and Pakistan. They want to dismantle everything that’s sacred in our culture and change the face of our nation- all in the name of “liberalism” and other totalitarian Neo-Marxist and/or Islamist doctrines.

This tyrannical bill is due to come on the senate floor in the coming days.

For America’s patriotic senators from both sides of the aisle it’s time to stand up and be counted.

The End of Debaathification? Too Little Too Late!

The pro-Iranian terrorist government of Iraq (installed by George W. Bush with your money and the lives of innocent American kids) has just released a draft bill that should allow “former members of Saddam Hussein's Baath party to return to government jobs and join the military”.

Click here for more.

A small move in the right direction…marketed at a “major breakthrough” by our gullible mainstream media.

But it’s too little.

And too late anyway.

Sunni Arabs make up 35% of the population (not 20%), they are the majority in 50% of Iraq’s cities and villages… and they had ruled the country since times immemorial.

To think they’ll “accept their new fate” in exchange for 2 or 3 extra ministries or small bribes for their “tribal leaders” only shows the ineptitude of America’s current foreign policy “elite”.

Yet the symbolism is quite strong: back in April 2003, the “De-Baathification” act was actually the first law passed in fanfare by Bush’s provisional authority.

Before the US invasion, the ruling Baath party was the only secular political force in the whole Middle-East: the Baath was founded in the early 1940s by professor Michel Aflak, a French-educated center-left philosopher.

Taking their inspiration from 18th century Enlightenment philosophy, the Baathists had built Arab nationalism as a deliberately cosmopolitan ideology based solely on language, literature and culture NOT genes, thus rejecting the reactionary racist ideas adopted by Iranian and Israeli nationalists.

Read any “Arab nationalist” textbook and you’ll see that many of the patriotic heroes they celebrate are foreign-born underdogs: ‘Antar and Bilal were black slaves of Ethiopian descent, Salman was a wandering Syrian monk of Iranian origin, Al Akhtal was a humble Christian bard, Saladin’s parents were poor Kurdish peasants…etc.

You’ll never find such a strong commitment to cosmopolitanism and progressive ideals in any other national culture- except perhaps in (19th century) France and (pre-2001) America.

By “De-Baathifying” Iraq in the wake of the US invasion, Bremer and his Neocon handlers such as US Undersecretary of Defense Dov S. Zakheim (a dual Israeli/American citizen…and an ordained ultra-Orthodox rabbi!) knew exactly what they were doing: they were opening the Pandora box of ethnic and religious strife throughout the Gulf region, thus securing a “long term strategic edge” for the state of Israel.

All this in the name of “liberty” of course and using disposable gentile kids from the American heartland to kill innocent Muslim civilians…

Leading Neocon Ideologue Says: “We Won’t Apologize for Iraq Failures. Apologies are for Maoists!”

Kanan Makiya (a former member of the Iraqi communist party turned Bushite fascist) is professor of “Near Eastern and Judaic Studies” (whatever that racist expression means) at Brandeis University near Boston.

Back in 2002, Makiya was one of the leading voices calling for the invasion and occupation of Iraq- in the name of “liberty” of course.

He had written books to that end: his pearls of Oriental-Marxist wisdom (my personal favorite is the one on the Iraqi masses readying to greet their American “liberators” with bottles of rosewater and baskets of pomegranates) were quoted ad nauseam in the pro-Israel press from Time Magazine to the Wall Street Journal.

Back then Vice-President Dick Cheney even said that Makiya’s “Republic of Fear” (a cheap anti-Baathist pamphlet subsidized by Israel’s Likud party) was required reading for anyone working in the Bush administration…

These days, Makiya seems to have lost his revolutionary enthusiasm, even if the Zionist zeal remains: he now blames both the Bush administration and the Iraqi people for the series of “failures” and missed “communication opportunities” that have led to the Iraq fiasco.

But Makiya and his Israeli handlers won’t apologize for their past propaganda plots that lied us into the Iraq quagmire.

And frankly they shouldn’t for “apologies are for Maoists” !!

Edifying reading.

Death of the Neocondustrial Complex?

The San Francisco Chronicle informs us that “Hapless Harriet Miers, would-be Supreme Court Justice, has been dredged from retirement as White House counsel to play a starring role in the U.S. attorney firing scandal. Miers, according to e-mails released as part of a congressional investigation, was at the center of the effort to fire the attorneys”.

These days, it seems like scandals of all sorts involving the Bushies are surfacing faster than the normal rate of absorption of Karl Rove’s spin machine!

You’ll find below another interesting article-this time from Fortune Magazine, a generally pro-Neocon midbrow outlet.

These guys have an interesting take on (what they view as) the new global division of labor: “innovation” seen purely as a function of defense spending, economic growth flowing from overseas consumer culture, and capital coming primarily from Middle-Eastern mines and oil wells:

“Tomorrow’s world may see the U.S. as the center of innovation and military strength, China as a center of population and economic growth, and the Middle East as a primary source of oil and capital”

Click here for more fascinatingly fascist “futurology”.

I thought that kind of rightwing crap had died with Herman Kahn and Don Rumsfeld.

But it seems the Neocondustrial complex is still alive and well- as I write these lines, the Bushites are even shamelessly talking of transferring the corporate headquarters of Halliburton to Dubai so they can evade taxes in the US and lay off American workers more easily…this after having siphoned tens of billions from the US government!

Let’s hope the new Congressional majority has enough courage to send subpoenas to all these traitors.

UPDATE - Based on my exchanges with Madam Naj and El Señor Tejano Behemoth

To make a long story short: I’d say Iran (the regime), America (the regime), and Israel (the regime + most of the people) are actually allies in Iraq. That’s the BIG issue.

The sporadic skirmishes in South Lebanon, the “illegal” nuclear plants in Natanz and Bushehr, Ah-mad’s apocalyptic speeches, Bushmert’s oblique threats…etc all that is essentially a PR stunt destined to fool the gullible viewers of Al-Fox and Jazeera News.

“The world's most organized mafia is involved in the most inelastic of resources on the globe - it's sound economic policy to control all access to death, drugs, and food” [Behemoth]

Good point.

The US economy is currently shifting toward what I would call the Hyman Roth-Al Saud model: already the Bushies are signing Odessan-Arabian style deals with the chief mobsters in power in Brazil and Columbia to “regulate” the supply of ethanol fuel and cocaine.

And some thought “Lula” was a libertarian socialist whatever that means!

Tom Lasseter/McClatchy Newspapers
Staff Sgt. Nekia Whatley, 29, of Montgomery, Alabama, questions two Iraqis digging a ditch on the side of the road to see if they were preparing the site for a roadside bomb.

No they replied: we’re just clear cut Ayyrab kids playing with the sand!

UPDATE:

This picture inspired my old blogging friend Judas, who has the following interpretation:

“No," they replied, "It's a grave for a tall, thin American" ”

How true…

Tall, just like the jingoistic lies they were fed

Thin, like the last shred of Republican ethos

In a nation run by war profiteers and The Fed
