Iran protests

Iranian Protest

Thoughts?

I am not too familiar with Iran's past, but I know of their oppressive regime. Inspiration from Egypt?

I'm a little skeptical because the last protests they had aiming to remove Ahmadinejad failed to remove him from office. While the population of Iran may be emboldened (by Egypt) to carry on their revolution on until Ahmadinejad is out, the pendulum does swing both ways and he may actually be emboldened to try to stay in power because of his previous victory over secular democracy. So I'm not as confident as with the Egyptians that there will be success but none-the-less I wish them luck.

In my view this is an attempt by the anglo-american empire to depose Iran's government. Partly because they are trying to develop their economy independent of the west, partly because they are getting too friendly with China and Russia and partly just for general destabilization of the middle east in order to achieve the Bernard Lewis plan of splitting the middle east along ethnic lines. They think if they can achieve this "Balkanization" of the middle east it will lead to ethnic violence like in the original Balkans giving the anglo-american empire an excuse to move in to "normalise" the region like in Kosovo. Zbigniew Brzezinski is behind this.

Admittedly I have learned a lot more about the anglo-american empire since I wrote that, maybe I shouldn't be took quick to judge people crazy. But it's not my fault nobody showed me the evidence for these sinister goings on earlier.:wink:

Let me suggest right off that whatever morons you are listening to who have told you that either the Anglo-American or Jewish cabal runs the entire world  you most certainly need to step away from that simplistically retarded chalupah.  It is not only relentlessly idiotic and completely contradicted by real events but it bespeaks a weakness to even seek that kind of simplicity.  The world is not and has never been that simple and it takes a particular kind of mental defective to disseminate bilge like that.

Does this sound simple to you? In actual fact it's very complicated, the difference between believing an anglo-american empire exists or not is that world events make sense if you do and are bizzare and coincidental if you don't.  Also I've never said a Jewish cabal runs the world, I think most of the blame lies with the bankers in the City of London and Wall Street, although Isreal along with the Netherlands are included in the anglo-american empire. I advise you to watch less TV.

This is one of the morons I listen to if your interested.

Try to ignore the close-up on his face at the beginning, it seems unnessesary to me too.

Quote:

Webster Griffin Tarpley is a Marxist historian,[1] author, journalist, lecturer, and critic of US foreign and domestic policy. Tarpley maintains that the September 11 attacks were engineered by a rogue network of the military industrial complex and intelligence agencies.[2] His writings and speeches describe a model of false flag terror operations by a rogue network in the military/intelligence sector working with moles in the private sector and in corporate media, and locates such contemporary false flag operations in a historical context stretching back in the English speaking world to at least the "gunpowder plot" in England in 1605. He also maintains that "The notion of anthropogenic global warming is a fraud."[3]




He's got exactly one thing right.  And yes, positing a grand Anglo-American control is insane and simplistic.  We don't have the resources.  If we had those resources do you think we'd put up with 10% of the shit that goes on?

Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder. The people in power don't give a shit about 99% of the shit that goes on, they are currently using Islam as a tool to expand the empire, they have to be sly like that because as you point out they don't have the resources to do it openly and directly.

What american empire?  Please explain how you justify using this term to refer to america, specifically.

Further, what evidence do you have have of this remarkable claim?  You've provided reasons why you assert some ill-defined empire would be motivated to do such things, but you do not provide any positive evidence that they are doing them.  What makes you believe these thins?

I think hegemony would be a more apt descriptor of US power than empire.

Also he throws in 'anglo' as some lame attempt to insinuate racism... :thumbdown:

I doubt I'll be able to convince anyone but I'll try. Carrol Quigley, an historian wrote a book called Tragedy and Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time in it he analyses the "Anglo-American Establishment" as he calls it. It's basically a group of international bankers, acedemics, heads of multinational corporations, intelligence agencies, Bureoucrats, high ranking military, media moguls and people who work for Non Governmental oranganisations funded by the banks. He was a member of this group for a time and gained access to the minutes of their meetings and other private information, his only disagreement with these people was that they wanted to keep their plans for the world a secret while he thought it was something that should be out in the open, hence writing his book. The book was supressed and the plates for the second half were destroyed by the publisher, which pissed him off because he wanted to make some money fom the book.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carroll_Quigley

I call it the Anglo-American Empire because it's mostly made up of people form the City of London (Anglo) and people in Wall Street, Washington, the Pentagon (American). It's an Economic and Military Empire, the US doesn't have military bases all over the world for nothing. The IMF and World Bank are the economic element of the empire, they trap counties in debt slavery to the AAE and force them to do as they are told. The petrodallar is also an integral part of this.

The Evidence is in the official documents, ever read Project for a New American Century or Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_Chessboard
I'm using Wikipedia links because I know you'd dismiss anything else as "conspiracy sites".

I can post some good videos explaining things clearer then I can and in more detail if you'd like.

How can you trap someone into debt?  Answer, you can't.

Of course this completely ignores the influence of China, India, Russia and others.  Like I said, simplistic.
