\t\t\t“In
\n order to rally people, governments need enemies. They
\nwant us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind
\nthem. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will
\ninvent one in order to mobilize us”. Thich Nhat Hanh<\/strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The US has thrown down the gauntlet with Iran, indicating it is ready to
\n attack the country and bring down it’s military and leadership.
\nSenator Lindsey Graham wasted no time after last Tuesday’s election to
\nsay that with the newly elected conservatives in Congress are ready to
\nenable another war, this time against Iran. Graham was in Canada
\nspeaking at an International security conference.<\/p>\n

He said that the U.S. should sink the Iranian navy, destroy its air
\nforce and deliver a decisive blow to the Revolutionary Guard. Lindsey
\nGraham sits on the Armed Services Committee and the Homeland Security
\nCommittee, so he is a primary enabler of America’s endless wars.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile reports indicate the US has now placed three aircraft
\ncarriers, four nuclear submarines and marine assault units opposite
\nIranian shores. If that’s not a provocation, what is? If any hostile
\ncountry were to do that to the US we would go to war with them.<\/p>\n

If people want to stop this war they need to start protesting and
\ncontacting congress now. Get one step ahead of the propaganda machine
\nwhich is just gearing up.<\/p>\n

People might want to start by demanding the return of Keith Olbermann and
\nother independent media voices who’ve been silenced, so people can hear other sides than the
\npropaganda. Or just abandon MSM altogether. They’re just going to spin
\n another feartastic fantasy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile we have Iran completely surrounded with half our military all
\nin the Middle East ready for the mission to begin. And what will be
\nstandard by which the US decides such a war is over?<\/p>\n

How many bombs must they drop?<\/p>\n

How much infrastructure must they decimate?<\/p>\n

How many Iranians must die before the American people will say STOP?<\/p>\n

How many Americans must die before the American people will say STOP?<\/p>\n

How far does the escalation have to go?<\/p>\n

How many other countries must Americans rain down death upon?<\/p>\n

Syria? Lebanon? Gaza? <\/p>\n

Where does it all end?<\/p>\n

It won’t end until it comes home.<\/p>\n

One way or another America’s karma is coming home.<\/p>\n

More debt, more poverty, cuts in social programs, hunger, homelessness, joblessness, unaffordable health care. <\/p>\n

These are the sure signs of a society in RUINS. And its going to get worse. <\/p>\n

Don’t even need to worry about terrorists. Our own gov’t is doing such a great job terrorizing its own citizens!<\/p>\n

Yes folks, the future is here now. Enjoy it while you still can.<\/p>\n

When the Elite are done plundering us (nearly done!), they must find other countries to plunder. <\/p>\n

It’s the only way they stay on top!\n\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n
