Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable..JFK
Category: News and Politics
Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association. April, 27 1961. John F Kennedy. "The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control…."(we all know what happened the day the music died November 22, 1963……bye, bye American pie.
While we Americans enjoy our self indulgent lifestyles, oblivious to the consequences, the rest of the world is telling us we are going to get what we deserve. All my life I have been a optimist and refused to entertain the thought that our government could be working against our best interests. I set out to prove the dissenters wrong, that America is great and the gloom and doom people were just misinformed(lying). After four years of searching for the truth I have come to the shocking discovery that we Americans are being fed a steady diet of bullshit, our nationally broadcast news media is nothing but a giant corporate propaganda machine churning out misinformation, false leads, red herrings, rumors and the like, the real intent being to shield the unknowing populace into a false sense of security based on what now appears to be a very fragile house of cards. While we American Romans dance with the stars the rest of the world is watching our great nation burn. Some of the things I have learned are downright terrifying, one of the more significant things I learned has to do with our telecommunications via satellites, if two or three of these are taken out, economic collapse of finance and banking…your plastic will be useless as well as your paper, as well as your cell phone, the internet, our communications from the outside world would stop……and the way things look our so called enemy will not be the source, next or simultaneously power grids gone…. As in no electricity, no gasoline, no heating oil, no radio waves, jammed except state sponsored propaganda. Has anyone else ever wondered why so many survival shows on the history or discovery channels, and others these days, why would such a modern society need such information? We may be building walls around our country to keep illegals out, but walls would also serve to keep us inside. There is a very good chance within the next two years many unspeakable horrors are going to be a reality, this is not a prophesy but history already in motion. Problems cannot be fixed ignoring the signs, like a leaky roof when the rain starts to fall we will realize it is too late. To protect those we love we have got to become better informed and learn to think independently outside political divisions about what is best for all of us. If we nuke Iran we can never go back and un-ring the bell.
These comments were gleaned from different sites around the country and the world.
The People speak….
…….Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and then Iran? I reckon there is a limit to what the huge, decent majority of the world's Muslims will take. A strike like this wouldn't guarantee oil supplies, but it would assure eternal Muslim hatred of the west. Cruel, unnecessary and a damned stupid idea.
…….Maybe there will be an outside chance that when an order to war is issued it will be ignored. On the other hand maybe we need to get the war started so that the next civilization can start over. It would seem that we are a failed species and are incapable of making the proper connections to live within our environmental limits.
……….Of course they will attack Iran. They will also ignore Museums and head right to the oil fields to protect goo as they did in Iraq.
Incidents such as the flying of LIVE nuclear weapons over the US are staged to get us used to the idea that these weapons may be used. Can't wait for the fallout. Its obvious that the end of easily obtained Oil is coming. Bush/obama, hilly will have to move to an island to be safe after his pres-dent-cy is over, if ever. He and the heartless one truly are Devils.
…….I am nearly overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. No one outside of the neocons and Christian millenialists want a war with Iran, yet no one with any power seems capable or even interested in preventing it. I have yet to hear a Democrat stand up in Congress to demand that the President obtain Congressional approval before starting such a war, nor have I heard any threats of impeachment if he proceeds without it.
…….Anyone who thinks that the United States is still a democracy needs to be shaken vigorously until he comes to his senses.
…….Hey, here is a chilling thought: what if prez declares martial law in the middle of his next self-manufactured crisis and suspends the constitution? Voila, it's not longer an election year and he can have all the power he wants. Can't happen here you say … that is exactly why it CAN happen here; too many people are complacent with this power grabbing, lying, duplicious administration. We get the government we deserve if we are not willing to stand up and do something before it's too late. Don't count on those spineless democrats. The window for political solutions in this nation is rapidly closing, leave us with only a revolutionary one. God help us all.
……It appears to me that the elite of both parties running the US Government apparently have decided that the American people will refuse to tolerate the inevitable decline in our quality of life and national power as the oil starts to run out. They are certain that it will cost them their power and wealth, so they want to defend that with all of their power.
Of course, many of us already understand the implications of Peak Oil and want to start working on preparing for the post-petroleum world now. That is not in the elite's interest, so they will fight it tooth and nail.
Therefore, they will continue to invade until the entire Middle East is either under US control or the whole thing blows up in their faces and into a shooting war: World War III. This, of course plays into the hands of the military-industrial complex, as well as the easily manipulated far Right Fundamentalists with their fears/hopes of Armageddon. Remember, their sick theology "predicts" this, so they will be cheering loudly as the blood gets deeper and deeper.
……I think that this situation may already be far outside the control of the American electorate, even if they knew what all of this really means.
As far as where the US would get the troops, it is already well-established that the US has been quietly arranging for a new draft for a few years now. A long bombing campaign gives them time to hurry a bunch of cannon fodder through basic training and into place. Remember, we have about 2 years of Dubya's administration left to go. That's ample time to do this if they start soon. Thus, no matter who is voted in after Dubya will face a fait accompli. The US will "own" 60% of the remaining oil in the world, and the US Dollar will be secured as the only currency for petroleum, thus securing its position and stability.
……The Democrats understand Peak Oil as well as the Republicans do, which is why they will make lots of noise but will be 'unable' to stop the current push towards war with Iran by the Republicans. They can 'blame' it all on the Republicans if they are elected, and if they lose there will BE no blame. Of course, many involved are in effect neck deep in what is essentially treason, but they think that they won't be caught or punished.
……..I believe Americans who oppose
Our illegal, immoral and unethical actions, resulting in the murder of tens of thousands of innocent people, should start bringing this government to a halt. We should 1. refuse to pay taxes, 2. take to the streets in mass protest, 3. block access to US government buildings, especially those relating to war…how long are we going to tolerate this evil? The Democrats are worthless. We elected them IN January to end the war and they are more agreeable than the Republicans in handing Bush on a silver platter anything he wants.
1. The boundaries that we see on world maps marking the territories of countries are just what we see: lines on a piece of paper. Iranians are not confined to lines drawn by European powers decades ago. Iranians live not only in Iran but also, en masse, in all the countries in the region. Certain parts of Iran's neighbors even speak dialects of Farsi. So if the United States bombs Iran, since there is no way they have any intentions of invading, they would be declaring war on parts of every country surrounding Iran. This would mean that the United States would be at war with every country in the region since civil war would breakout in all the US installed puppet regimes. This could explain why the United States has created a new map of the middle east.
2. Not only are Iranians spread out in the region, they are also living, en masse, in the rest of the world. The Iranian Diaspora Population map shows that approximately 2.5 million live in the US alone, 700,000 in the Canada, 300,000 in the UK, and 2 million in India. If a war breakouts between the US and Iran then what transpired with the internment of Japanese Americans and Canadians during World War II will become a distant memory and a travesty that will be repeated. Unfortunately it appears that the United States is prepared for this scenario, since it has already built 800 FEMA prison camps which are fully operational and ready to receive prisoners.
3. Iran could stop exporting oil and/or "get tough and close down all oil-tanker traffic that comes within range of (its) missiles–which would mean little or no oil from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or the smaller Gulf states". This is a very likely scenario, but what exactly does this "global oil rationing, industrial shutdowns, and the end of the present economic era" mean? One way to fully understand the impact of such an event is to look at Africa. The population of Africa at the present is approximately 1 billion. According to a recent presentation at a United Nations conference, it is estimated that "nearly 75% of the continent could come to rely on some sort of food aid by 2025". If there is "global oil rationing" then it is safe to assume that feeding Africans would become a low priority operation for the rest of the world. This would mean that 750 million people could starve to death in Africa.
4. Just to put things into perspective, making sure that it is fully understood what the impact of an attack on Iran really means, consider this. The United States has already stated that they will use nuclear weapons in an aerial bombardment campaign against Iran. Since the creation of the atomic bomb, it has been accepted that once nuclear weapons are used again in any war, then they will continue to be used until there is no one left to kill. As the saying goes, you do not bring a knife to a gunfight, so once a nuclear weapon has been used on any country then that country and its people have a right to use unclear weapons in retaliation. Albert Einstein once said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". I personally hope that we will not fulfill Einstein's prophecy.
WW3 Has Already Started or: 18 Ways To Stop The Bomb
On April 17 2006, Seymour M. Hersh, "an American Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author based in Washington, DC", reported in 'The New Yorker' that the United States is considering the use on "bunker-buster tactical nuclear weapon, such as the B61-11, against underground nuclear sites" in Iran. This story was also carried on CNN.
It was reported that on January 7 2007, an Israeli attack squadron comprising of three IAF F-16s, each carrying "conventional munitions—as well as a single 20-kiloton nuclear bomb" on a bombing raid to Iran were turned back by "U.S. planes under threat of missile interception."
On August 27 2007, MIT Institute Professor Noam Chomsky, a world renowned American linguist, philosopher, political activist, author, and lecturer, published an essay on ZNet entitled: Cold War II. In this article, Chomsky concludes that Washington's intentions to install a "missile defense system" in Europe "ratchets the threat of war a few notches higher, in the Middle East and elsewhere, with incalculable consequences, and the potential for a terminal nuclear war. The immediate fear is that by accident or design, Washington's war planners or their Israeli surrogate might decide to escalate their Cold War II into a hot one – in this case a real hot war." To put it more simply, Chomsky is predicting Nuclear War. Terminal Nuclear War. The End Game.
Two articles this month, one by Project Censored award winning writer Dave Lindorff entitled "Was That Nuclear-Armed B-52 Flight Destined for Iran?", and the other by Dr. Michael Salla, an international politics scholar, entitled "Was a Covert Attempt to Bomb Iran with Nuclear Weapons foiled by a Military Leak?", are both reporting that the recent B-52 Incident in the United States was an attempt to start Nuclear War with Iran. For those unfamiliar with the story, "A B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with six nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D., to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation."
Both, Dave Lindorff and Dr. Michael Salla, are reporting that Vice President Cheney was behind the incident. The same person who believes that "the US should not be pursuing a diplomatic path with Iran", but rather should "establish the policy and pathway to bombing Iran."
We have been lucky, according to Dr. Michael Salla, "the world has been spared a devastating nuclear war by courageous American airmen who revealed the true contents of an otherwise routine B-52 landing at Barksdale, AFB headed for a covert nuclear mission to the Middle East." However, this appears to be just the beginning.
The people in the United States administration are planning on attacking Iran, and they are doing everything in their power to do so. When Noam Chomsky, who is known for his ability to present an unbiased perspective by using the Scientific Method, is stating that we are close to a "Terminal Nuclear War", as in terminal cancer, we must take heed.
Why would the most distinguished linguists of all time and a world-renowned historian delve into the field of soothsaying, predicting a dismal radioactive future for us all? This seems to be absurd, until we fully grasp the implications of what the news reports linked above are stating.
We, as a world community, have come close to destroying ourselves. We are in trouble when Albert Einstein, one of the scientists "instrumental in facilitating" the development of the Atomic Bomb states: "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones", while the people in control of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world are stating that "all options on the table".
When every leading political figures in the United States is stating that "all options are on the table", then it is likely that nuclear weapons will be used when the United States bombs Iran "back to the stone age" as it threatened to do to a nuclear Pakistan.
Consider this: Technology is developing in such a way that it is becoming easier and simpler to create. From growing food, to making babies, to developing weapons: we are able to make them faster and better. In time, one society will always catch-up with its predecessor, especially in their
technological abilities. Hence those that have at the present must be wise enough to share what is needed with those that require, and cautious enough not to flaunt or misuse things that others desire.
For us to be able to prevent this nuclear Armageddon that the United States proposes we must be as diligent as those who propose it. If they are intend on using all options to contain Iran, then we must consider all options to contain them. The first step in resisting is to educate ourselves and those that follow us. War is no longer an option if humanity is to survive.
Below are some suggestions and resources to help in bringing about a positive change:
1. Spend time with who and what you love. Surrounding ourselves with love should help us to remember the beauty of life.
2. Learn to filter and recognize propaganda. It is corporations that profit from wars, not individuals. Always apply the filter: 'Ownership determines content.' "If we accept that it is desirable for individuals to practice moral agency as fully as possible, then we should seek to create a different kind of media system."
3. Your body, your voice, your mind, and your spirit are required at peace rallies for us to reach critical mass.

4. Stop watching corporate news on TV, they do not provide information, just propaganda. Frequent legitimate unbiased news sources such as: The Real News Network, Democracy Now!, International News Net, Sub Media TV, Free Speech TV, Link TV, and Alternative Radio: Audio Energy of Democracy.
5. Stop supporting corporate education and entertainment. Learn about your rights, how society functions, what we have done, and are doing to each other and the planet. Watch and learn from movies and documentaries such as: Earthlings, America: Freedom to Fascism, Fallujah: The Hidden Massacre, Chemtrail: Aerosol Crimes, The Oil Factor: Behind the War on Terror, The Future of Food , Liquid Crystal Vision, Marcus Garvey: Look for me in the Whirlwind, The Doomsday Code, Iraq For Sale, Plan Colombia, The Revolution will Not be Televised, Freedom Downtime: The Story of Kevin Mitnick, Zeitgeist, and Loose Change.
6. Learn about the financial institutions that have been established to profit from the ultimate consuming machine known as war. Watch and share: ZEITGEIST, The Movie: Part 3 of 3 (47:05), and the animated Money As Debt (47:07).
7. Stop supporting mass media that has been the voice of government and corporate propaganda and the driving force behind the recruitment, promotion, and continuation of the war agenda. Begin to acquire your news from actual people blogging and reporting on the true nature of life. News blogs such as: What Really Happened, Ya Ya Canada, Dahr Jamail's MidEast Dispatches, Desert Peace, Daily Kos, plus countless others available on the Internet.
8. Write, call, and personally contact your representatives in government, demanding that they begin to represent you and your family, not corporate money. Realize that most of our representatives have not even begun to grasp the "terminal" path that we are on.
9. Not only should you be consuming less and locally, but also producing locally. Corporations over the years have destroyed the infrastructure of local economies, but it is time for us to rebuild. Additional information at Post Carbon Institute, People and Planet , BALLE, 100 Mile diet and numerous other sources available on the Internet.
10. Reduce your dependency on oil by using public transportation and or alternative means of transportation. See Critical Mass for additional information.
11. Downsize your car and/or convert to hybrid transportation. The sooner you do this the better. This will not only save you money on fuel, it will also allow you to sell your large gas-guzzler before the rise in fuel prices reduces the value of your car to nothing. And you better hurry, because the waiting lists for hybrid cars are long and used models are selling for more then the new cars.
12. If you are working for an organization which is actively supporting war then try to find a different occupation which does not require of you to promote the destruction of humanity.
13. Begin to invest in yourself instead of Stock markets who launder money while profiting from war.
14. Begin to work with nature and not against it by learning about natural resources available in your area. Additional information at: World Changing, Planet Friendly network, and NI Business Info.
15. Make healthy eating choices. Studies have found that most bankruptcies are due to medical bills, and since the passing of the Bankruptcy Bill you will no longer be cleared of your debts if you declare bankruptcy in the US, which means that you will become a slave to the banking institutions. This will take away your freedom and force you to abide by their agendas, the main agenda of which is war.
16. Support artists against the war and boycott those that support the war. There are many who have officially spoken out against the war and are proactive in their attempts to bring us peace. Google your favorites see where they stand….morals or money?
17. Participate in civil disobedience. Peace organizers are now advocating "people in the antiwar movement to move from protesting to performing acts of civil disobedience that 'get in the way of the war machine.'"
18. Understand that we are one people occupying one planet, and that we are and will be held accountable for the actions of our governments. Learn about our history by reading books such as: Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace, A People's History of the United States, Hegemony or Survival, Wilhelm Reich in Hell, Mass Psychology of Fascism [PDF] , Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope, The Shock Doctrine, Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, and War Is a Racket written by America's most decorated general US Marine Corp Major General Smedley Butler. (I have tried to make sure the links listed work, the dancing frog phenomena may apply and prevent some from working so Google the subject being careful to screen the source. I encourage everyone not to take my work or word go look for yourself…… independently.)
In short, we must face problems which do not lend themselves to easy or quick or permanent solutions. And we must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, that we are only six percent of the world's population, that we cannot impose our will upon the other ninety-four percent of mankind, that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity, and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem. JFK…Speech at the University of Washington, Seattle, 16 November 1961.
