As Neocons Do Everything They Can To Undermine Peace With Iran....

By, Chris Rossini

....keep in mind that the detestation of peace is as old as the American Empire itself.

Back in the 1958, when Eisenhower and the Dulles brothers were covertly destroying lives across the planet (in the name of "freedom" of course) a prospect of peace opened with the Soviets.

Stephen Kinzer writes in his fabulous book The Brothers:
A highly alarming secret report produced for President Eisenhower, warning that the threat of war with the Soviet Union could "become critical" within a year or two, had been leaked to the press and sent a new shiver of fear through the country.

This fear contributed to pressure for a summit between the American and Soviet leaders.
That's right, just like today, the American public lived under a constant cloud of fear. Gen. Douglas MacArthur said during the very same year: “Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it.”

But in 1957, the fear caused a good kind of "pressure". The "pressure" for a summit. For talks, diplomacy, and peace instead of war.

We have firsthand experience of watching the seething neocons today, as they scrape and scratch for anything (anything!!) to derail the talks that are going on with Iran.

Well, take a look at what Eisenhower's Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, had to say when the prospect of Americans talking to the Soviets came up:
"The great gain for the Soviets would be to have a meeting which, as I say, will utter platitudes about peace, with the implication that there is no need any more to have this military preparation, to pay taxes in order to have a mutual security program and the like. If Khrushchev can get that, that would be the greatest triumph of his career." (my emphasis)
Neocons from 2014 could copy & paste that paragraph and use it today. They merely have to replace Iranians for Soviets, and Rouhani for Khruschchev.

To add insult to injury...it was Eisenhower and the Dulles brothers who fomented the Iranian mess in the first place. For it is they who overthrew the democratic Mossadegh government in Iran so that the Shah could be re-installed. The Shah would, of course, rule brutally over the Iranians for the next 25 years, leading to Islamic revolution in 1979.

Peace is the enemy of Empire; and Empire creates nothing but catastrophic consequences.

  1. It is well that we have Iranians,Iraqians,Pakis,and other assorted brown peoples for the neocons/progressives to murder.
    Otherwise,they would turn their hatred upon Libertarians and other decent peace-loving folks.
    We do not want combat lawyer Linsey Graham to turn his ire to us(shiver).

  2. You write correctly Peace is the enemy of Empire; and Empire creates nothing but catastrophic consequences.

    Unfortunately, you write from the fiat understanding of philosophy, in particular Austrian Economics

    I write from the elect understanding of the religion, in particular Dispensation Economics, not to be confused with Dispensationalism.

    I write unfortunately, because, only Dispensation Economics presents objective truth.

    God, that is the Sovereign Lord God, has always worked through empires, always has and always will; this is seen in Daniel’s Statue of Empires in Daniel 2:25-45. All empires have been based upon sovereignty and seigniorage; and most have been established on a debt based money system which established seigniorage wealth.

    Sovereignty is defined as the Sovereign’s policies and schemes which establish economic life, and which define the nature of the person. Since 2008, liberalism’s two persons, created by the democratic nation state banker regime, were the investor experiencing investment choice, and the client experience clientelism.

    Seigniorage is defined as the credit and flow of the Seignior, that is the top dog banker, who in coining money takes a cut, which defines the nature of economic life.

    The UK was once the centerpiece of a global empire that spread across the globe. But its failure as a global hegemonic empire, is like that coming soon to the US Dollar hegemonic empire, as this one flows as well into the beast empire, that is beast empire, of iron diktat regional economic governance, and clay totalitarian collectivism of debt servitude as presented in Bible Prophecy of Revelation 13:1-4..

    in January 2014, The First Horseman of the Apocalypse, that is the Rider on the White Horse, seen in Revelation 6:1-2, passed The Bow of Economic Sovereignty from democratic nation states and the world central banks, to regional sovereigns and regional sovereign bodies; these are now growing in political capital, and its authority to establish regional economic fascism, replacing all isms, such as crony capitalism, European Socialism, Greek Socialism, and Communism. Regional economic fascism is fated to be the singular, all inclusive, economic experience, as the ships of state flounder, and sink in the tossing sea of debt deflation driven, competitive currency devaluation.

    Regionalism is establishing a new debt based money system, that being the diktat money system, where regional overlords, ruling in each one of the world’s ten regions in mandates of regional economic governance, and in debt servitude schemes of totalitarian collectivism unifying all of mankind’s seven institutions, establish regional security, stability and sustainability, this being accomplished by the destiny of the fulfillment of bible prophecy of the Ten Toed Kingdom of Regional Governance of Daniel 2:25-45, and the Beast Regime of Revelation 13:1-4.

    Please consider start writing on the truth of the new emerging Beast Empire.
