The Fourth World: Iran: The Unthinkable War : The Apocalypse Factor

"We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of this great country and rid the world of evil." - George W. Bush, quoted by Bob Woodward in Bush at War

Hagee’s book urges the
US
to launch a first strike against
Iran
in order to bring about the onset of Armageddon.
a "coming nuclear showdown with
Iran
is a certainty," a biblical certainty.
Dick Armey recently admitted to the BBC that both Bush and he are believers in the End Times, but denied that they were trying to push the world toward an apocalyptic conflagration.
LaHaye believes Saddam Hussein “is ‘a servant of Satan,’ possessed by a demon, and that he could be ‘the forerunner of the Antichrist.’”
the Christian Fascist movement
The Biblical Apocalypse is the Christian Fascist’s version of Hitler’s evocation of the ancient Nordic and Germanic mythos under the Third Reich, and it serves the same purpose.
The most dangerous of scripts is being played out – a coming war led by two opposing apocalyptic fundamentalists, each convinced that god and all the logic of a sick civilization is behind him, each believing god will initiate a global genocide on his behalf, and each believing that The Hour is near.
The coming war has nothing to do with
Iran
as a “state sponsor of terrorism” or an Islamic state with nuclear weapons, but everything to do with US strategic plans to seize control of the vast energy resources of the region and military control of Central Asia and the
Middle East
.
Nothing is unthinkable in the pursuit of a consolidated world empire, not for Republicans, and not for Democrats. The sharpest expressions of this imperial strategy are to be found in the documents of the Republican’s Project for a New American Century and in Democrat Zbigniew Brzezinski’s The Grand Chessboard.

The Fourth World: Iran: The Unthinkable War: What Makes for a Real “Terrorist State”?

The psycho-cultural stage for the entire development of overt neo-fascism in the US was established by the “humiliations” of Viet Nam and the Iran “hostage crisis.”

The psycho-cultural stage for the entire development of overt neo-fascism in the
US
was established by the “humiliations” of
Viet Nam
and the
Iran
“hostage crisis.”
the rulers set about re-conquering a rebellious Black population through the “War on Drugs” in the wake of the Black Power Movement, and American Indians in the wake of Wounded Knee.
Blacks are “criminals” and Indians are “drunken” then Iranians are “terrorists” who present a clear and present danger to white capitalist Western “civilization.”
for the sake of having a sense of proportion, let’s talk about what really rates as international crimes that might, properly, cause a nation to be deemed a rogue state, or a terrorist state.

In our list let’s include some of the universally acknowledged crimes a state might sponsor: genocide, the use of death squads, the widespread use of torture, the unprovoked or needless use of nuclear weapons, the crime of Apartheid, spreading chemical and biological weapons to those who use them to kill the innocent, the launching of unprovoked wars of aggression, and, of course, the deliberate starvation of mass numbers of civilians and the bombing of civilians. Since it’s germane, let’s include the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a crime.
In terms of the commission of these kinds of national and international crimes, the current regime in
Iran
hardly rates a nod. Jointly if not singly, however, other players on the
Middle East
stage are guilty of every crime listed. Every one of them. The players in question are the
US
and
Israel
.
The
US
is the only nation in history to have used nuclear weapons – and it used them against civilians.
Israel
’s nukes were acquired in gross violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Sadly, the main thing
Iran
is guilty of is the same thing it was guilty of in 1953: having too much oil, and intending to defend it.
The
U.S.
government has listed
Iran
as a sponsor of terrorism since 1984.
by definition, there can be no such thing as a “terrorist” attack against the
US
occupation forces in
Iraq

Iranian Leader Sees Trip to New York as ‘Successful’ - Council on Foreign Relations

Iran is not Iraq. There is no Saddam Hussein who determines everything. In Iran, the chief decision maker is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the supreme leader. He is simply the first among equals, because there are four or five different areas of decision-making power. Other groups have to be consulted. ... Ahmadinejad’s voice is really one of the least effective in that system.
