“The sky is falling!” and Other Tales of War Hungry Politicians

There is no doubt we are in the last days of the Iran “store closing!” sales pitch that has been screamed at the American public by Israel, Washington, and created by the public relations firms. After all, they get paid to manufacture hysteria and tell the public unconsciously what to say. In this case, the neo-conservatives, the Israelis, and the public relations firms have been hard at work for a number of years crafting all sorts of stories. It seems like a good time to round them up and put them in one place, and that way you can see for yourself someone isn’t telling the truth.

I was going to avoid the Iran articles because it’s such a big, ugly subject; I knew I would have to tackle it when Benjamin Netanyahu went off the deep end earlier this week with the United Jewish Communities General Assembly speech he gave. Here are a few eyebrow raising quotes:

"It’s 1938 and Iran is Germany. And Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs.”

“He [Ahmadinejad] is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state.”

"’No one cared then and no one seems to care now,’ he [Netanyahu] said, again drawing on the Nazi parallel.”

Now if that’s not deliberately peeing on the electric fence to start a fire, I don’t know what is! After I dug my jaw out of the floorboards, I realized I couldn’t avoid it any longer; this needs to be answered before American and Israeli politicians wind up giving the United States public the “gift that keeps on giving” – radioactive fallout. I like glow in the dark underwear as much as the next pervert, but, I don’t want a PERMANENT glow in the dark.

Fareed Zakaria wrote a stellar piece for Newsweek a few months ago called “ The Year of Living Fearfully ” that compares and contrasts between Iran and Nazi Germany. One quote says it all: “ Washington has a long habit of painting its enemies 10 feet tall—and crazy . ” No truer words have been spoken! Let’s face it, if our enemies were painted in the image of cute Easter bunnies, who would be afraid of them? It’s an absolute must to envision a monster that eats Rover and Fluffly for snacks, uses your prized flower bed as a toilet, rapes your women, and scares the men so much, they have permanent urine stains on their pant legs.
