Iran, Iran so far away.

In the paper today I read about a letter that the President of Iran wrote to the American public. What I found most interesting is that the paper didn’t print it. Nor did it print even any excerpts. To many this might not seem strange but then again 30% believe Bush was responsible for 9/11. Something that has been bothering me for sometime is how can a designated enemy of the US write a letter to its people and no media reprints it?
How can a people make informed decisions in respect to elections if they are uninformed? How can a real democracy function without information? It can’t. This is one of many reasons why I don’t believe America is a Democracy. Oh ya, people vote but that doesn’t make it a democracy. People used to vote in Saddam’s Iraq and no one would have called that a Democracy. If you have one candidate or two clones there is no choice. If you don’t have a grasp of the issues how can you choose wisely? Why is it that people don’t have a grasp of the issues? Because the American media is total garbage that sucks up to power.
Whenever Osama Bin Laden releases an audio tape our press talks about it. They don’t replay the entire broadcast or even a major segment of it. You can’t find it reprinted in your newspaper either. At best they reprint a line or two out of context. So we are led to believe that we must launch wars all around the globe to fight this shadowy figure but are not allowed to read what he says. We are all supposed to go along with the “War On Terror” yet we’re not given the information about our enemy. So we are just to believe what out trusted leaders tell us. If history proves anything it is that you should never trust your leaders yet that is exactly what the sheep of America do.
I decided years a few years ago to find Bin Laden’s speeches and read them. In order for me to do so I had to go to the British Broadcast Company’s web site. It turns out that the English are more democratic and less fearful of their population then America is. We are not to be allowed to read about what bin Laden says. Maybe this difference between the two nations is why the majority of Brits were against the war whereas 70% of Americans were for it. It must be said that our news media did everything in their power to link Saddam to 9/11 even though the facts showed something totally different.
Now our government is revving up for a confrontation with Iran under the guise of Nuclear Weapons and their threat to the nation of Israel. Remember that the Iranians have no missile that can reach the States yet we must be kept scared. If anyone has been paying attention this all revolves around the protection of Israel who already has hundreds of nuclear weapons, with our Government’s tactic approval. Part of the disinformation campaign, the majority of news we get is really disinformation, is that the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad, is in control of the Islamic Republic of Iran. What our worthless media conveniently forgets to mention is how Iran is truly ruled by a bunch of unelected clerics. The media had no trouble reminding us when the last leader Khatami, the reformer, was in power. When the kids rose up a few years ago the clerics came in with their proxies and beat the shit out of the protestors. The media was certain to inform us then that Khatami really wasn’t in power it was the clerics who ruled. Nowadays though it would seem as if a major shift in control has happened in Iran and no one noticed.
As far as nuclear weapons are concerned, it is wholly hypocritical for us to decide that other nations are not allowed to possess them. It can be argued that according to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Iran is not to build nuclear weapons and this would be correct. What most people don’t know, and the media does it job not to tell us, is that America is supposed to be getting rid of their nukes. That bit of information is not relevant according to our free press. What the media also refuses to mention is that Israel is armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons but I guess that too is not relevant. Sure some may argue that Israel’s nuclear weapons may have started an arms race in the Middle East but of course, that would go against the media’s narrative of Israel the innocent perpetual victim. Actually maybe what is needed in the Middle East is some good old-fashioned Mutual Assured Destruction. Maybe just maybe the Israelis would be forced to take their boot off the neck of the Palestinians since they are getting terribly close to being asphyxiated.
So as our leaders openly threaten Iran with the use of force it is important that the American public get informed. (If you think that war with Iran is possible read my first entry on this blog.) The sad thing is that people won’t be informed unless somehow the writers of Lost or Desperate Housewives can somehow slip it into their scripts. Our country was led into a disastrous war with Iraq because the media forced us to. The media had at its disposal all the information that the alternative press had yet refused to give it airtime. Instead the media amplified the lie filled rhetoric of our government as it fulfilled its role as mouthpiece for the corporate controlled government and its minions. I have no reason to believe the same thing won’t happen again, even with what we know now.
