Some think I am an Iranian/Persian sympathizer (more on the this Iranian/Persian dynamic later) because my wife is Persian/Iranian born. Not so. I am certainly not a Nazi sympathizer because my mother is German born — I just think the Germans tend to do things better than most…
I\’ve been listening to the war mongers and chicken hawks for-a-few-weeks-now RE: Iran — and none of them has discussed how Iran is backed by Russia (and China) and that Iran is essentially doing Putin\’s bidding when they are obstreperous with the US. Who do you think Iran gets its weaponry from?
And if Russia was willing to intercede in Venezuela — you can bet Putin will protect the oil that is essentially in his own backyard. It wasn\’t that long ago that Putin publicly assured Iran that Russia had Her back (and the Donald obviously has Russia\’s back).
And Why, oh Why, would China want to replace Iranian oil with American oil — considering the trade war that we are now in the midst of?
Speaking of \”OIL\” — I reiterate an observation I passed on quite a few essays ago that suggests that every military conflagration since the end of WWII has been about oil (black gold, Texas Tea) — and Iran purportedly has the second largest oil reserves on the planet which would explain the regime changes it suffered through the 20th Century and the regime change being proposed now.
Some maintain that US has the largest oil reserves of all and that we seek to control the world\’s oil until such time that everyone has to come begging to US for oil (which suggests that fossil fuel will be in usage for a long time you Green People…)…
And please don\’t forget that all-of-the-American military personnel service who have died in-the-line-of-duty since WWII\’s conclusion — have died for BIG OIL, and NOT, for US.
Given the foregoing — we must pose the question of why Big Oil wants to squeeze Iran with economic sanctions and cripple Iran\’s ability to sell Her oil?
The answer (of course) is because Iran has nationalized Her oil wells and shut Big Oil out from utilizing the petro dollar there: This has flowed from the CIA-orchestrated overthrows of democratically elected Mossaddeq in 1953 — and Mohammad Reza in 1979 — because both wanted nationalized oil wells.
Ironically back in \’53 — Big Oil got to keep a strongman they wanted (Mohammad Reza) because he agreed to pander to Big Oil. But then, as noted, this Shah decided to nationalize Iran\’s oil as well.
The 1979 regime change saw Jimmy Carter and Big Oil being tricked by the Ayatolla Khomeini (not hard to do — as it had worked for Mohammad Reza in \’53) into believing Khomeini would facilitate the rape of Iran by allowing US (and the Brits) to do oil business the way we like to do oil business: Fuck the people of the country and take care of the 1%.
So John Bolton (who never met a country he didn\’t want to attack and conquer) & Co. want yet another regime change (this would be Iran\’s fourth in the past 110-years-or-so) — all-induced by those who control the oil.
What the war mongers — including a tunnel-visioned bitch who corresponds for CNN (and God knows who else) — don\’t seem to realize is: that with each regime change in Iran — someone willing to piss off Big Oil seems to take over.
And woe to the country that seeks to defend themselves from Big Oil — they immediately become aggressors, communists and terrorists — deserving of US military intervention.
Oh yeah, the Iran/Persian thang…It seems that a former Shah of Persia, Reza, Mohmmad\’s father) and Reza Shah\’s ambassador to Germany got too cozy with Hitler — to-the-point that the ambassador proposed changing the name of Persia to \”Iran\” because it sounded more like \”Aryan\” — a blood line we know Hitler was enamored with.
If Iran were once again referred to as Persia — might we negate the entire Iran/Contra thang and forget that US shot a Persian passenger plane out of the sky — or that US supplied Saddam Hussein with poison gas to attack Persia???
