The Poisoning of Democracy

The invasion of Iraq has been carried out for many reasons according to supporters of this massive crime against humanity. The line they've been touting most recently is that the Iraqis are being murdered in an effort to install democracy. They point to elections as proof that this is indeed the case.

What they fail to point to is the fact that forcing democracy onto any
society is profoundly anti-democratic.

They also define democracy on the lowest standards imaginable. The
simple act of voting satisfies their criteria.

But if the wrong people are elected, the people will be punished.

In recent examples of this we've seen Hamas win an election in
Paelistine. As a result, the Palestinians are being punished for
electing the wrong party. The Americans do not accept Hamas and are
rejecting them as legimate representatives of the people. An election
was held in Iraq but the Americans did not like who was selected by the
elected representatives and demanded that the Iraqis pick an acceptable
leader. They had tried their level best to install their own puppet,
Allawi, without success.

We've also just witnessed the Americans overthrow the elected leader in
Haiti.

But this is an old story. Americans have been installing puppets all
over the world for the last hundred years. They installed the Shah of
Iran and are now fixing to punish the Iranians for ridding their own
society of an American puppet. They have also installed puppets
throughout Latin America. 'Democracy' is not always used as
justification for brutal slaughters.

Unlike the imperialist dictatorships of old, the Americans will install
democracy only if the ballot box can be controlled by the American
puppets. This is usually done through massive propaganda efforts,
bribes, assasinations, rigging elections, and spending copious amonts
in favour of their man.

The Americans don't want the responsibility of actually running the
crushed society. What they want is control of the wealth for what they
term 'American interests', which is code for corporate profits.

But in Iraq, this song and dance may take some unexpected and ugly
turns. It already has.

What really must be called to question is the acceptability of one
nation presuming itself to have the legitimate power of the UN and
control of the world. As was stated at the Nuremburg tribunals, the act
of waging war contains within it all war crimes. Of this, Bush is
guilty and many Iraqis are dead and many more are disabled. Still, many
more will be severely psychologically damaged. The children in Iraq are
the most vulnurable. The damage that the Americans have done in Iraq
will take generations to undo.

And they call it democracy.

It is no less sinister than a foriegn communist dictatorship invading
other nations for the other nations own good. A case in point is the
Chinese invasion of Tibet. The Chinese will argue that they did it for
the good of Tibetians. Their argument holds up. Prior to the Chinese
takeover the people of Tibet were living in harsh material conditions
barely able to scrape a living from the hostile wilderness of their
plateau in the Himilayas. Now they are much better off materially as a
result of the Chinese presumption of knowing what is best.

But the people of Tibet didn't want to be saved. They didn't want
communism and they didn't want their way of life overturned.

What the Chinese did not understand about Tibet is that they have a way
of life that was not communism and it was not democratic. Their laws
and their way of life were based in religion. You may not agree with it
but it is their way and the Tibetians have a right to it. They still
want it back today. The Chinese had no idea that the Tibetians had a
far better life even though they lived in harsh and starving conditions
than they could possibly have living under communism. For Tibetians,
Buddhism has far more potential for genuine happiness than materialism
could ever come close to. And that is something you or I can agree or
disagree with, but their way of life is their business, not ours.

Even if you are naive enough to believe that the Americans are invading
Islamic countries to install democracy, you have to consider the fact
that some societies have priorites and methods that we cannot
understand if we are not Muslims. And Islamic societies are far more
foriegn to occidental sensibilities than Tibetians are to the Chinese.

The bottom line is the Americans have no business in Iraq or in Iran or
anywhere else outside America. The fact is the pretense of democracy
being shoved down the throats of those lucky enough to survive the war
is a most profound perversion of the term, democracy. To those of us
that would fight to preserve it (in our native land), this perversion
is poison.

America's New War of Terror

'Leaks' are suggesting that America will bomb the people of Iran. The rationale provided is that they will take out infrastructure that could help develop nuclear weapons.

Seymour Hersh reported on April 17 that Bush is referring to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a "potential Adolf Hitler," and sees "regime change" in Tehran as the ultimate goal. Now this story is being reported by mainstream American media. If state propaganda sources such as CNN, Fox, and mainstream media in general are reporting it, it very likely means that the Administrion is intentionally making the statement to the world. The message is a particularily sinister one.

"This White House believes that the only way to solve the problem is to change the power structure in Iran, and that means war," Hersh reported, quoting a nameless, faceless senior Pentagon official. The White House does not deny the report.
Prior to this, Washington has been ratchting up its rheoric against Iran. They have been whipping up hysteria that Iran poses a threat to Western civilization. Their programmed drones repeat it and fan the flames. We have seen this all happen before. We've seen this happen three years ago.

CNN reports, "A former senior defense official is cited as saying the planning was based on the belief that a bombing campaign against Iran would humiliate the leadership and lead the Iranian public to overthrow it, adding that he was shocked to hear the strategy."

In other words, the Iranian public will be punished for their defiance toward the self appointed and fascistic rulers of the globe.

The report also suggests that there has been serious discussion of using nuclear weapons against Iran. It is ironic that they call others terorists and they wage war on other nations for potentially doing precisely what America does with impunity. But the threat of using nuclear weapons is very likely just that, a threat. Doing so would be beyond the pale. It would result in consequences for America that cannot be imagined at this point. Even now, prior to this new war of terror on Iran, people the world over, including Americans, are asking the question; America, what have you become?

State Terrorism

This is one more example in a long line where America metes out colletive punishment to whole populations for not falling in line under the New World Order. The intent of the American State is to terrorize populations that defy their designs on world domination; to teach us all a lesson. This is aimed as much at the populations of Cuba, Venezuela, and all nations that do not follow the dictates of the ruling classes in America as it is aimed at the people of Iran. It is their intent to show the world ferocity and brutal ruthlessness. They want reports of torture, concentration camps and massacres of civilians known to the world. America is making an ominous declaration and it is puffing itself up to instill fear. It is telling us;
'Stand against us and you will face the consequences and those consequences are death or terror for you, those you love, and your society.'

The Iranian people owe the Iraqi resistance many thanks. There is no way the Americans will have the ability or the stomach to wage war on Iranian soil
at this point. That level of terror is not an option for them. Iranians will likely face bombs dropped from an altitude near space. The Iraqis have shown
the world that the imperialists are cowardly murderers that must hide away in safe forified 'zones'. They will huff and puff and slaughter and kill but
they are highly vulnurable. America certainly lost the mystique of invincibility that it had been promoting. The world's superpower may have all the latest toys and war gadgets but they cannot defeat a determined population consisting of people that must fashion bombs from under their kitchen sinks.

Hopefully, the Iranians are building very deep shelters for the whole population and not just the ruling classes. The Americans then can destroy property but the loss of human life will be minimal.

Terror may be reduced to annoyance and again, the invincible might of Uncle Sam will reduced to a naked emperor, quivering and embarassed as it stands
uncomfortably under the glaring spotlight of the world stage.
