Sooo the
powers that be did not get their war, for the time being. This is the second time the war party has
been on the back foot. When Obama announced
that he was going to consult the Congress (and then ignore what they said)
there was an eerie silence on message-boards -- obviously I can't speak for all
of them, but Alternet and Raw Story had a sudden disappearance of all the
sock-puppets. I was not the only one to notice this. The cover story was
dissipating like a poison gas, and nobody wanted to be caught promoting what
was clearly a deception.
Just to be
clear. As things stand there is (1) No
conclusive evidence that a chemical weapons attack took place on August 21 (2)
No evidence whatsoever that the Assad regime was culpable, if there was a gas
attack (3) conflicting reports of the chemical agent involved (Sarin, Fluoride)
(4) Reports that Sarin was supplied to Al Nusrah by Saudi Arabia (5) Reports
that the release was actually an accident (6) reports of hundreds of children
kidnapped from Alawite villages in the days before YouTube informed us of the attack
on August 21, with their bodies used in a deliberate deception (7) multiple
different claims with respect to the number of fatalities – from 300 – 1500. (8)
several documented instances of US government statements shown to be
deliberately misleading, if not outright lies.
No wonder
they couldn’t build much on this foundation.
Then comes the
full court press. Even though the leadership line up in support of the war like
good little puppets, the congressional mail is running as high as 499-1 against
the war. The media relentlessly push the
“gassed his own people” bullshit. September 9 & 10, the President is on
CNN, NBC, CBS, NPR, ABC, and several cable stations, but Kerry has made that
huge diplomatic blunder in London, and Putin has swiftly taken advantage. The war party takes another huge step
backwards. The President addresses the
nation from the white house (second time in his presidency) and announces a
delay in the vote, but right at the end of his address he makes a reference to
the deception that Bush the elder used to get the people behind his slaughter
of the Iraqi military. Remember children
dying on the cold floor.
The Russian
propaganda outlet, RT publish ed a news story exposing the false flag attack on
Israel being prepared at this moment. I
expect the strategy is to launch the sarin at some city in Israel, causing
significant casualties. However many
die, the US media will immediately start pushing a number ten times greater,
and the President will launch the Tomahawks.
Israel can be counted on to react with the most savage and unrestrained assault imaginable. World War III is a distinct possibility.
To ensure
that this is not the scenario that comes to pass, it is essential to prepare
for the upcoming false flag attack by predicting it. As loudly and as often as possible. If it doesn’t happen then some people gonna
mock, but who knows what might have been.
If it does
happen, there might be enough people see it for what it is and prevent or
moderate the “retaliation”. Hence this
little essay.
As the war
party s in retreat there is no point in trying to persuade the audience as to
the inherent justice of the pro-war position. Time to strengthen your own sensible,
pragmatic, anti-war credentials. Make
fun of everybody – especially Fox, because, well because Republicans -- never
let the little troopers forget they are always opposed to Republicans. It’s a set up. Literally. And all very well done.
And then,
not co-incidently, Hashish. Look over there
HASHISH! Ha Ha Ha. The same thing war-monger in chief John
McCain did when he was overwhelmed by anti-war constituents at a town hall
meeting last week. Let’s talk about
marijuana instead. Look at the quality
of the jokes in this segment – it is really weak by comparison with Stewart’s
opening monolog, which was one of his best ever performances IMHO. Here is what
I wrote about it yesterday.
"Fox News --Its motus operandi is to foment dissent
in the form of a relentless and irrational contrarianism to Barack Obama and
all things Democratic to advance its ultimate objective of creating a
deliberately misinformed body politic whose fear, anger, mistrust and
discontent is the manna upon which it sustains its parasitic succubus-like
existence.” Very quotable I shall entertain my friends by committing this to
memory.
Looks like the war
party is backing off for now. But I think the vampire merely takes a breath,
the fangs are coming back, and I expect next time they will really turn up the
outrage. No doubt another, far more horrific, false flag attack is in the
works. (RT has announced the discovery of a plot to use sarin in an attack on
Israel, and blame the Assad regime.)
Stewart continues the
"gassed his own people" propaganda. ("In my job you have to catapult the propaganda"
- GWB). Softening up the audience, getting them ready to accept whatever
fabrication the war profiteers come up with when they again point the finger of
deception at "the Assad regime". There is no atrocity they are
unwilling to contemplate, and popular resistance is very strong. They need a
"new Pearl Harbor", and you can be sure they will get one.
