Netanyahu Defiant, Anticipates US Compliance
Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has given a clear indication that his defiant and nearsighted leadership is primarily responsible for the lack of demonstrable progress in the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
Netanyahu, after meeting with President Barack Obama - following a speech from Obama calling for demarcation of Israel and Palestine along pre 1967 boundaries - offered broad statements of basic defiance that showed both his lack of willingness to cooperate, and his excessively impractical nature. (msnbc.com; Israel Rejects Border Proposal)
Israel is being excoriated for its inhospitable actions on a wider scale than it has been in the past, and it is in large part due to the decisions of its leaders who incessantly expect to remain incomprehensibly xenophobic while simultaneously combative against even the most basic forms of human discrimination.
Netanyahu claims that Israel "wants peace, I want peace. What we all want is peace that will be genuine, that will hold, that will endure".
However, as could be expected, he sought to indemnified his - and his nation's - many aggressive and inhospitable actions against Palestinians, Jordanians and Egyptians, insinuating that they are/were necessary to create peace as he exclaimed "I think we both agree that a peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle Eastern reality -- for there to be peace, the Palestinians will have to accept some basic realities."
Brazenly biting the hand that feeds him, Netanyahu perfunctorily defied the Obama administration's consensus that in the interest of a peaceful accord, the lines of the nations should reflect those that existed prior to the "six days war" where Israel took lands from Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
The surprise attack, primarily by the Israeli air force - and likely assisted by a covert ally in France - was an emaciating first strike on the Egyptian air force that gave Israel massive air superiority for the rest of the war, and was largely in response to the closing of the Straits of Tiran by Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's president.
Israel effectively took control of the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. There are still many who contend that Israel's attack was an act of aggression, rather than a preemptive strike of defense. (Wikipedia.org)
Furthermore, it was Israeli leaders whom demanded that any closing of the Straits would be considered "an act of war". And since there appears to be evidence that deceptive and false reports were delivered to Nasser, allegedly from the Soviet Union, saying that Israel was massing on the Syrian border, the closing of the Strait of Tiran would have been a logical move.
It is no secret that Israel has often employed espionage and deception as a means of gaining a military advantage, or fomenting crises which either appear to warrant retaliation or directly create it. And what is most notable is that Israel rarely suffers any initial casualties prior to a full scale retaliation where the targeted nation sustains heavy casualties.
Israel has also consistently defied international authority, such as during the 1949 Armistice where Israel secretly brokered a deal to disregard the "green line" of the General Armistice Agreement and expelled the entire population of Wadi Fukin after the village had been illegally transferred to an Israeli-occupied area.
The Mixed Armistice Commission found that Israel had violated the agreement, and voted that the villagers should be allowed to return to their homes. But Israel's common practice of destroying the houses of civilians as they steal their land forced the villagers, prodded by further demands from the Israeli military, to return to Jordan controlled territory. (Wikipedia.org)
Netanyahu, refusing to even consider the 1967 boundaries, even went so far as to pretend that there have been no provisions made for the security of various settlements that were built outside of those borders as he claimed that they would be "indefensible because they don't take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes -- over the last 44 years."
However, the proposal by the Obama administration clearly allows for any number of various land swaps in order to secure and satisfy both nations. Furthermore, Netanyahu appears to believe that simply because over four decades have passed, that suddenly the issue of misappropriated lands is not open to debate.
The Israeli Prime Minister even began to dredge up outdated, historical incidences that are both irrelevant and controversial. He shows his intent to exhume long dead conflicts when stating "Remember that before 1967 Israel was all of nine miles wide -- they were the boundaries of repeated wars because the attack on Israel was so attractive."
The primary inequity in Netanyahu's statements is the fact that much of the attacks on Israel were those of retaliation for attacks perpetrated by Israel against other nations.
Israel, with the help of allies in Britain and France, attacked Egypt in 1956 while denying it was a collusive effort. The attack was in response to Egypt's new ties with the Soviet Union and recognition of the People's Republic of China, and Nasser's choice to nationalize the Suez Canal and broker a deal with Russia after the US and Britain backed out of a commitment to fund the building of the Aswan Dam.
The fact is that China is no longer a dividing ally, nor is the Suez Canal a central instigator of conflict in the region. And the fact that these, and other now-retired issues, were the primary means of extending Israel's borders even prior to the 1967 conflict, the argument by Netanyahu is illegitimate.
Netanyahu, in an encroaching bid for further publicly viewed allied posturing, thanked Obama for American support, saying "I appreciate the fact that you reaffirmed, once again, now and in our conversation, and in actual deed, the commitment to Israel's security. We value your efforts to advance the peace process".
To digress for a moment. The actual critical factor in all of this is the fact that Israel does actually want peace. But simply peace, not peaceful relations. Israel just wants the compliance that a peace agreement offers, and often such agreements can be anything but agreeable to both side, regardless of the fact that they produce an end to armed aggression.
The leaders of Israel have never actual sought to enable the freedom of others as a means of eliciting equitable conviviality. And until the collective efforts of the primary players are directed at creating a lasting freedom for all nations concerned, then peace will remain nothing more than a smoldering ember of reticence that can ignite the region like a tinder box whenever the winds of discord begin to blow.
Israel, and its neighbors, must collectively embrace legitimacy in their counterparts, and their right to influence policies effectively, and based on their respective peoples' best interests.
Netanyahu also claimed that he shares Obama's "hope and [his] vision for the spread of democracy in the Middle East".
However, the only part of democracy that Netanyahu has shown himself capable of appreciating is that which follows a belief that the "majority rules", and there is little evidence that this includes anyone outside of Israeli interests.
Furthermore, Israel has done as much as any other Middle Eastern nation to profligate the belief that no other structure other than that created of, for and by Israeli's has a right to exist. And Israel has often employed religious beliefs as government policy in an attempt to justify attacks on other peoples.
The animosity that has fostered in the rich, fertile soil of religious extremism in the Arab World has been just as prolifically cultivated by Israel as it has by others in the area. But it is Israel that has so often sought the assistance of Western allies like the United States, France, and Britain as vanguards against the seething revenge they have so consistently created with their refusal to engage their neighbors respectably.
Unfortunately, in the past there were many leaders in America and Europe whom were all-to-happy to oblige in their own self interest, and ignore the rights of sovereign nations as the "red scare" and other anti-socialism campaigns authorized all manner of otherwise prohibited actions as means of eradicating what were seen to be imminent threats to the survival of the west.
A few in the field of republicans campaigning for Obama's job have begun to foam at the mouth as Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Michelle Bachmann attack Obama, claiming that he has insulted Israel.
Either they are simply politicking, or they truly revile Obama's attempts to bring some tough love to the process and begin to stringently exfoliate the endemic crisis that has long festered beneath the chafing dermis of the region.
Bachmann say's that she "was appalled to watch President Obama betray our ally Israel", also claiming that "Obama's plan would abandon decades of peacemaking efforts in the Middle East, and result in further chaos, division and more aggression." (email correspondence from Michelle Bachmann)
What is remarkable is that Bachmann completely ignores the ridiculous irony in her statement. She clearly realizes that the alleged "peacemaking process" has not been affective for "decades", but still insists that Obama has somehow imperiled a process that has not produced any lasting results to date which show it has done any good.
She also claims that this is another example of "Obama's policy of blaming Israel first." Even going so far as to claim that "Obama's words show that he is no friend of Israel".
To be fair; Obama made it clear that he considered Israel to be a friend of the United States, and stated that Israel's security is a top priority. However, he also showed an intent to remain civil and beyond reproach when stating that this friendship requires that he be honest about the situation.
Loyalty is far too often thought to be synonymous with honor, and this is just not the case. One must eschew loyalty at times and be prepared to side with an ally's opposition, providing such opposition is also honorable, if said opponent is correct, if one is to truly be an effective ally.
There are plenty of examples throughout history where an alleged friend or ally, in their own selfish interests, set their counterpart up for a fall by taking their side regardless of an obvious inequity which eventually became their demise.
Bachmann also say's that "American's know that a safer Israel is a safer world". There is actually a vast array of data that indicates the contrary, and thus her statement implies a rather impressionable and collusive atmosphere among politicians.
That Bachmann would truly believe such a statement is unlikely, and thus she must be touting the agenda of some other prospective beneficiary. And that is entirely unacceptable under any circumstances, given the nature of the subject matter, and the fact that AIPAC is a very influential organization in government.
However, Bachmann most notablly displayed her vacuity and lack of intuition last year in Los Angeles where, in a speech she said "If the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States".
It appears that some in the Republican field are comfortable with intemperately shuffling their way to the edge of the precipice in a straitjacket as they attempt to capitalize on any possible rift between Israel and the United States by painting it as an imminently disastrous position for the entire nation.
It makes one wonder if there is not a significant level of legitimacy to the rumors that 9/11 was the result of a collusion between covert Israeli and Western influences that were well enough connected to infiltrate even the most highest levels of government in America.
It is well documented that Israel's Mosad (Israeli secret service) sent agent Eli Cohen to infiltrate the Syrian Government and use his high-ranking position to manipulate the Syrian military's strategy prior to the "six days war", feigning sympathy for the soldiers and convincing Syria to plant trees that allowed Israel to mark their position. Cohen also gathered crucial intelligence for Israel that allowed the Israeli military to strike the Golan Heights area from positions that were largely indefensible by Syria.
It is also well established that Israel's air force was secretly preparing for weeks, and possibly even months, to carry out a surprise attack on Egypt's air fields, thus giving ample reason to believe that the various instigators that Israel claims were legitimate reasons to attack its neighbors were likely just the result of counter-intelligence operations aimed at deceptively creating a "false flag" event that would appear to justify their actions.
Israel's various documented, and otherwise obvioius, scurrilous and underhanded tactics, perpetrated by its leaders and security forces, are inexorably paiinting a clear portrait of a country that cannot be counted on to engage the international community legitimately.
In the interest of the nation and the many honorable and tenacious citizens of America, it must henceforth be reasonably assumed that Israeli espionage is almost certainly one of the lynchpins that is working to manipulate and destablize much of America's foreign policy structure, and corrupting its government with agents whom are secretly coopting its members if the United States is to truly make inroads toward a lasting and equitable accord with the Middle East.

Post Murbarak Egypt: Healing A Fractured Nation
New reports are coming in about the unfortunate situation the citizens of Egypt currently find themselves in. It appears they have been purposely - and seemingly vindictively - left to fend for themselves against criminal elements. Much of the thugs, reports appear to show, are merely creations of the disreputable regime that held the nation captive for nearly thirty years.
Police forces in Egypt, shown to have been corrupt and brutal for decades, have been largely pulled from the streets. Unfortunately, much like America and other countries, Egypt was long ago turned into a society that requires a police force that is both capable and readily available, and it is not the protesters' fault that they are corrupt or largely necessary in the first place. It is the Mubarak Regime, which appears to be employing yet another tactic of oppression, albeit from a distant location. Just one more reason for his reign to have ended quickly.
It is likely that Egypt would be facing a much worse fate had the regime been able to mollify the people.
Had the people not forced him out, Hosni Mubarak, who is also reported to have absconded with between $4 and $10 billion of the nation's liquid assets, may have found some way to creep back into a position of supreme authority.
Now the Egyptian people have been left a nation that is partly in shambles and chaos because the leaders were little more than schoolyard bullies who are likely laughing at this very moment over the results of their moronic pranks. So let them laugh, they will soon be held accountable.
This is a time for tentative, yet decisive, action. A conversation must begin that can set the wheels in motion which will promote a second uprising in Egypt, one that is designed to put the nation back together, and secure the future for this fledgling, democratically-elected constitutional republic.
First of all, the fact that the American government claims that Egypt is one of this nation's most important allies in the Middle East, places the country in a rather complimentary state of affairs since any investment in this nation could only be expected to generate significant returns, and protracted derivatives.
While the Egyptian economy may not possess enough moral hazard to satisfy the palate of the sharks on Wall Street, copious amounts of extremely stable industry are more than edible commodities for those who typically seek the leasing of low hanging fruit.
Given the fact that Egypt's people have been conditioned to exist in rather harsh realms, and still produce in an equitable fashion both highly educated techies, and sturdy laborers who appear more than capable of structuring their lives to meet long term goals, the prognosis of the nation is clearly that which will make a full recovery.
It would be rather unwise, actually, for America to just sit idle and let such a ground floor opportunity, for both investment and involvement, run amok when there are so many opportunities for collaborative finance and industry.
Egypt has long enjoyed a thriving tourist trade, and there is every reason to believe that this industry will at least double over the next 5 to 10 years under the newly conceivable democratic system.
Furthermore, the new opportunities that can be advanced by a fresh group of political attaches who should be trained to staff newly envisioned American consulates, promoting what would become a veritable bridge to social reforms that would be clearly discernible from the former that existed under Mubarak, would compliment both nation's aims.
The Egypt of tomorrow will require a vast array of bureaucracies for local, county, state, and national offices that are guaranteed to grow by at least 10 percent per year for the next 30 years.
While the transition can be structured to exist within an extremely sober and incremental timeline, the cupboards are bare, but the fields are ready for harvest, and thus the meritorious rolls of willing public workers could create more than enough competition to drive the vehicle of excellence to plateaus not unlike that which America experienced during its inception.
The opportunity to truly reach the people of Egypt, and extend veritable forests of olive branches that would strum the chords of unity and utility with a fresh understanding of the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is nearly limitless.
America could begin a true conversation based on the prospects of superior corporeal civility that would rival much of this nation's allied positions around the world, and could strike an accord that would light a luminescent flame of freedom capable of sparking diplomatic relations never before experienced in the entire region.
If properly engaged, the chance to break new and creative ground with the leaders of Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Israel, Pakistan, Tunisia and so many other nations which are currently unable to relax the guarded stance that has proven to be essential for survival, would usher in a new era of absolute tranquility where respect for the concerns of all people in the Middle East must be the only objective.
This is a golden moment where the entire region can be allowed to witness the true wealth of freedom, and the many portentous prospects that exude when people are encouraged to seek their inner strength, to trust their mind to free expression, and take comfort in their duty as a citizen of a free and fledgling concept which can be molded and mended as time progresses. And rather than become weaker and more fragile over time as is always the case with totalitarian regimes; instead, be a part of a future that grows stronger and more resilient.
It is time to do more, give more, find more, strive to be better than we are, than anyone thought we could be.
Yes, there is so much to be done. Unfortunately so many in the nation will likely find that as the euphoria of emancipation wears off, they may begin to experience a lethargy that could slowly set in like an old arthritic condition that shows up in the winter.
Far too often when an individual, or a group of many individuals, are eventually emancipated from the abuses of an oppressive and dictatorial rule, they tend to take over the role of abuse that they have become so accustomed to. This is a natural dichotomy of human behavior that reflects the human ability to adapt.
This can manifest in many ways. For one, it can drive the victims to live in a somewhat lethargic state, nearly shackled and bound to inaction.
Or it can cause the victims to seek out a surrogate abuser to once again take an active role which can pacify a sustained need that truly does exist. The important thing is to identify this proclivity so that it can be fully engaged and resolved, allowing the victim to break the cycle.
It can even manifest frustration and rage - initially critical human mechanisms which provide strength to break the cycle of abuse. These are fine for expressing survival mechanisms which can sustain the victim for short periods of time, but are not typically those which are compatible with the rigors of daily life (self assertion is what must eventually evolve). This is because various common mechanisms necessary for social interaction and cooperation can appear monotonous and mundane to a person who has been forced to exist for long periods in a state of mere survival.
This is to be expected. What is necessary is to begin taking complete stock of the specific areas of the victim's life, prepare a close analysis of the many levels of pain and anguish that are currently that which typically define the victim. This investigation into the self, must be accomplished with the victim first and foremost as the sole owner of all accountability for identifying, removing and even allowing the abuse.
While this may appear to be an excessive role of responsibility, the truth is that we are speaking only of adults here, and therefore, the only way to truly emancipate the victim from the victimizer is for the victim to completely own the entire force of the abuse. This is necessary to deny any further power to the abuser or oppressor.
This then places all of the power of change in the hands of the victim, and releases the oppressor into the vacuous realms that would otherwise find the victim banished to, if for any reason the victim were to waste even one molecule of energy blaming the oppressor.
To blame Hosni Mubarak for anything that has transpired in Egypt during his brutal, criminal - and at times, let's face it, truly comical reign, is to offer him a level of power over the people that is directly concordant with the level of blame.
It is imperative that the victim completely own each and every facet of the oppression that occurred so that they are supremely compatible with the primary objective of putting the things in place which are guaranteed to prevent it ever occurring again.
Not only is this entirely possible, it is extremely effective, astonishingly powerful, and supremely liberating. Truly, the Egyptian people have the opportunity to grow, mature, progress and expand in ways that the United States will soon be envious of. This opportunity is far more portentous than that which the nation of America found itself holding after its emancipation from oppressive British rule.
This is a fantastic opportunity for Egypt to avoid some of the mistakes that the United States could not avoid, due to the fact that technology today is such that entire nations of people can engage in cooperative congress that exudes - at an exponential pace - the correlating analogies that prepare one for the evolving expansion of cumulative effects which are a part of each and every action humans take.
The Egyptian Constitution, and thereby the government of the nation, can be constructed in such a way as to instill in each and every citizen a critical reverence for the processes which require engagement of jurist prudence, and demonstrable involvement in the legislative, judicial, and executive realms of both the private and public sectors.
New public and private committees should be formed. More equitable tiers of public accountability must be mapped-out and constructed.
Community halls must be filled and fortified with local action groups who are familiar with the needs of the residents and workers in their prospective areas.
Flyers and pamphlets that share basic information about critical services and public functions should be designed and distributed. (such as aid to homeless, hungry, women and children, sick, or elderly. community meetings, special events or rallies, etc.)
Passive action, and crime watch networks may need to be formed for interim security while the nation begins to take over the many things, not only that the Mubarak regime was responsible for, but also the many things that his regime was not doing.
This is a very important part of the process of true emancipation. Because if the liberated cannot see fit to embrace their new found freedom, and meet it on its own terms, this freedom can easily become merely another form of prison, and can cause the subject to seek the realms of identity which are most common, and thus find their self again in a position of an even worse oppression because the oppressed then feels more inclined to indemnify the oppressor in light of the coercive contributions which enable the relationship.
This is why it is typically the younger, succeeding generations whom fight most ardently to break the chains of oppression, refusing to accept the role of subordination that the previous generation had grown to consign themselves to.
It is not because the younger generation is any stronger, it is merely because they feel no responsibility for the engagement, and therefore are not under the impression that it is somehow legitimate.
This author feels entirely confident that great things are on the horizon for Egypt and the entire region of the Middle East.
There is so much to do, see, learn, live and rehabilitate, and the entire process will prove to be the most fulfilling engagements of the millennia if the people understand with complete cognizance the power of truth, and the strength of "equative reasoning".
It is the journey, the stride, the process, the ride; the mechanics and the maintenance, the construction and the creativity which sustains us.
The destination, mechanism, constructed or created will never suffice. This is why destruction has become so dear to so many. It is merely the cry of our creativity that was so long denigrated and defiled.
Truly, we rarely ever actually seek answers when we exist as we were designed. Humanity will always be supremely obsessed with the question.
Master the equations, and the solutions will take care of themselves.
To life and light dear brothers and sisters ...
To our most divine and sublime ... to WORLD FREEDOM!

Yahoo News, "Security Remains Shaky in Egypt After Revolt" @ http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110217/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt
'Curveball' Pitch Kills Over 100,000 in Iraq
In a story airing on NBC News (posted to msnbc.com) a covert operative admits that he lied to Pentagon Officials about the presence of WMDs (weapons of mass destruction) in Iraq, in March of 2000 and again in May of 2002, in order to hasten the war brought-on by American forces, and topple the regime of Saddam Hussein. However, this man is indirectly responsible for the deaths of at least 100,000 innocent civilians, and rising numbers of military personnel, because his lies were the primary evidence that was used to sanction a military strike against a sovereign nation. (msnbc.com)
The fact is that there is no actual policy capable of indemnifying such a pre-emptive engagement of force and there should never be. For the sole reason that it opens a Pandora's Box from which escapes an inordinate number of extremely destructive solvents which are guaranteed to manifest cataclysmically corrosive creations that exude utter corruption in their wake.
There are so many things wrong with this scenario, this article will only touch on a few of the most critical. To begin with, is just how remarkably easy it appears to be, to create and sustain a war of aggression in the current theatre of international involvement. Even more alarming, is that they so often continue unabated for years; even decades.
Moreover, the fact that - in the devolution of this 'George Bush inspired' era of pre-emptive strike - an entire country can be invaded, its sovereignty completely disregarded, and hundreds of thousands - and more likely millions - of its innocent civilian citizens murdered with utter abandon under the heralding hawkish umbrella of - allegedly conscionable - collateral damage, is nothing short of criminally insane.
The constitutions of all countries must be respected; be they documented or otherwise simply realized to be purely self evident in deed alone. And if any country now exists which does not find its leaders respective of the peoples' interests - thus incontinent under such documentation - then first and foremost must be promulgated a clear respect for the existence of any like agreement found to be pertinent to the actions of any country which may seek to engage those regions found to be inhospitable to anthropocentricism.
Saddam Hussein lived in a world of constant fear and paranoia, and obviously, much like Hitler, reacted to it very poorly. This is evidenced by his many authoritarian and perverse actions. He was a product of a defunct and derelict mentality that found many nations, including the United States, commissioning him to the role of Captain at the helm of a dismasted vessel that was never expected to sail, nor be granted any actual port of anchorage. It was merely set adrift in a sea of insolvency that calcified its course on a suicide mission.
That a person of covert distinction, named - of all things - "Curveball", was able to prod an entire United States Military mechanism - and all of its schematic extensions - into a pre-emptive strike of a protracted fashion, neither, of itself, confers an environment of reason.
In a rather boorish and sedative statement made by Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, (Curveball's true identity) in defense of his feloniously-heinous and murderous methodology, he state's with clear insanity "maybe I was right, maybe I was not right" in an interview with the Guardian. "They gave me this chance. I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime. I and my sons are proud of that, and we are proud that we were the reason to give Iraq the margin of democracy."
This nihilistic narcissist, who admitted he "had a problem with the Saddam regime, and this was his chance to get rid of him," then goes on to say "I tell you something when I hear anybody - not just in Iraq, but in any war - [is] killed, I am very sad. But give me another solution. Can you give me another solution?"
Yes, "Cue-ball", I have a perfect one; take your lumps and admit you are an imbecilic pragmatist of a notoriously sadistic and severable, hedonistic intent, and maybe that will prevent you spending the rest of your life in prison...where you most certainly belong. Furthermore, I could double-down on your challenge with my head on backwards!!
It is an utter embarrassment that the United States Government is actually populated with such bombastic sycophants that a majority would actually consider it conscionable to attack any nation under such flimsy and feckless strategy, based solely on the statements of such a deplorable witness, who clearly has not the compunction of a toilet seat.
To digress: I shall very soon begin to map-out a strategy for diplomatic engagements which will, with decisively expeditious effects, bring to an altruistic culmination the incessant immorality and indolence this nation's government has desecrated the hallowed heritage of my family with. There will be contingencies that must evolve before this undertaking is remitted however. So put you best foot forward ladies and gentlemen, you don't have long.
Americans cannot simply sit back and tolerate such balkanizing mechanisms which seek to destroy everything this nation's founding fathers intended to guarantee to an entire species. Regardless of what mountains may be in my/our path, I/we need not traverse them, nor move them, for I am one with them.
Back to the conversation: there is much official documentation which clearly suggests that Hussein's primary role was as a moral hazard that international security agencies proposed was a necessary evil which could be manipulated as a tool, or weapon, to hone and horrify at the behest of governments who agreed it was for their nation's best interests.
Sadly, this sentiment is far too often promulgated as if it is legitimate. With the primary protagonists typically refusing to see, or even heed warnings, that there will be extreme consequences for such an aberrant policy. As well, far too many will simply, and rather ignorantly, claim that the "ends justifies the means", without ever realizing that the ends can only reflect the means, and therefore, the proposed solutions are rarely ever realistic, or in any way relevant to the sunny solicitations of these analytical ends
This is where the conversation begins to take a turn that the majority is incapable of navigating, sending intellectuals and analysts alike careen over the edge, unable to exfoliate the creative analyses necessary for investigation of, if you will, an unmitigated - or simply unmolested - core. (yes, I love using the term "if you will" now that some prescient fool made light of the phrase in the, oft-inurbane, Urban Dictionary)
A large portion of the Middle East has been, for many centuries, harangued and hobbled with doctrines which have attempted to instill in its citizens a more palatable and portentous future, and they were structured in such a way as to exist uncontested, in an effort to guarantee their posterity.
Unfortunately, there was no understanding of the realms of evolution, and the cyclic nature of the Universe. Therefore, what many believed to be an unchanging, but still fateful nature, has come to exude the many indelible forces which can neither be ignored nor denied by any member of any life-form on this planet.
The Middle East's various monotheistic-inspired peoples - such as Jews, Muslims, Shiites, and so on - were merely granted a stay, if you will, for a period of time in which they remained compatible with the incremental pace of cosmic events, as have been granted all relative religiosities. And the unfortunate truth is that the cycle which pacified the ensuing aberrance that became inured within this veritable repository of human progression, is coming to a close.
There is no current model which exists in such a demonstrable degree as to reflect any commonly correlating analogies or theorems which may expose discoverable strategies of a descriptive conference based on a perceivable benchmark.
Therefore, any truly effective strategy can only evolve as an emanate response to equative reasoning that does not rely on any stationary quantum. To be more clear; one must be able to perceive the sphere of ideology as it expands or exerts within its primary stratus, without exerting or expanding that scope of investigation accordingly; thus preventing an aberrant analysis. This promotes the required realm of objectivity that is also compliant with the geometric functions of physics.
To digress for a moment: it will be imperative - to a more congenial evolutionary atmosphere - that humanity begin to understand the true nature of a 2012 cyclic event, in that the Universal coordinates which are expected to become relevant will usher in a cataclysmic style collaboration that reflects, in intensity, the shift of compliance, and thereby concordance with the level of perversion exuded among a species that has clearly, and most diffusively, misunderstood the "signs" for many eons.
To indemnify the humanity is essential, and this effervescing edifice must be engaged with diligence under a majority espousal that reflects both compliance and conflict, in equal measure. The supremely complimentary state of this Universe is a magnificent and mollifying master that is bound to the laws of duality and fusion, it is capable of such divine gestures of gentrification that even the most defunct and dislocated decompositions of duality, this species is capable of deteriorating to, can be revitalized with but a whisper, in a blink of time.
The scouring effects of conflict are realms of resistance, or friction, that are essential to human survival, and they utterly define, not only the life-forms on this planet, but the entire Universe which commands them.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and so many others who currently hold positions of power in the Arab World, are merely default mechanisms of a lesser knowledge. They are not to be feared and fulminated, but rather, cleared and culminated by a better understanding of the brackish beauty in the eye. The indemnity that must occur is that which will naturally allow all involved to legitimize the concerns of all Iranian people, including its leaders. And will save the reputations and fates of many who are more than agitators, they are victims of a terrorized mind that has been stratified by angst.
Releasing the vengeance, fear, apprehension and vanity to the realms of logical lassitude is what allows actions that many would initially term as "forgiveness", when in truth they are merely natural proclivities enabled by an absence of animosity.
If one harbors no grudge, then they have no need for the concept of forgiveness. Learning to exist in the realms of logic, and thereby comply with the nature of both positive and negative equally, ensures an enlightened position of pragmatism that does not succumb to postulated pessimism, but consistently confines any prospective reticence to the reasonable realms of skepticism. To be clear, the many delineations of bigotry become most destructive when they are envisioned by those who ensconce themselves with justifications of vengeance, and therefore animosity, because they are allowed to exist unchecked, and uncontested by that which has created them.
While it is often noted that Israel, and much of its population, decries the actions of most any body of evidence which intends to excoriate the behaviors of the Jewish people, and labels antagonists as "anti-Semitic". This propensity is not reserved to the Jewish people alone.
Far too much of the Middle East is being consumed by unreasonable fears and fratricide, simply for the fact that the citizens of the many nations which call that wonderfully-rich and resilient region home are nearly one in the same. Unfortunately, these adamant and auspicious creatures of our colorfully, latticed humanity were so long ago shattered into several sharpened and self-destructive shards by a fractal, geometric formula that was long believed to be infallible, yet sadly, is anything but.
Most unfortunate of all, however, is the fact that it was incessant meddling in the affairs of others which has created so much animus and angst in the Middle East. Various nations, such as Russia, Great Brittan, France, Italy and the United States, balkanized a vast majority of nations in the region under policies of perilous interests that rarely, if ever, sought to exist equitably with the peoples of the area, but instead set about to divide them in an effort to exert control.
Now there is no other choice but to revisit this erroneously enlisted entropy with an alternate agreement that seeks to heal the daunting wounds inflicted by the many millennia of matriarchal malevolence which evolved from the despicable system of ignorance which so many convinced these people to devolve into. The monarchial system of sovereignty is just as fallible as any that can be found in the Middle East. However, it was the infiltration and compilation of the two concepts which has so ferociously fomented the current crises that are strangling the great Nile Deltas and beyond.
The people of the Middle East cannot be ruled by mere conscripts of conference whom seek to craft collaborative conquests with copious rolls of convalescents who's lethargic leaders simply seek the seduction of parliamentary members who are sate in positions of power and posthumous presence, because the basic propensities of these people is to gravitated toward a more grafted and gratuitous relationship with the planet and its cosmic counterparts.
Attempting to now scour the sanctified realms clutching to the more shakable sentiments inured by those who lauded their simplistic and sadistic charlatan's system, with a show of force, merely ignores the fact that the mechanism in place is designed to inherently fight such force to the death. Therefore, any such misery will send shockwaves of a severity which will severe the ties of civility permanently as it reverberates through a world that is clearly infected with an identical indoctrination.
It is time to understand the people of the Middle East. It is time to recognize and show respect for the many mediums of madrigal meritocracy and mineral that formerly existed due to its inceptively ingenious archaic ancestry that now exists as mere whispers of that long lost and laudable language of the Pharaoh's peoples.
The stone tome of Pagan principle was sealed shut and desecrated by denizens of death who would suffer no man his freedom for fear of the power it would unleash among the proletariat presence; and thereby level the structures of detestable dominance so desired by the demons of the draconian domain.
Harken, oh precious sight, and paint the sun on this world of night. Bring to your bosom the healing power of paternal posterity, its gift of ignorance, with ides of inane, and fill them with the nocturnal knowledge of cosmic consequence. Wile them in the waltz of wisdom, dancing to the tune of the tremulous treasures of harmonious human heritage. Build the body of evidence with reticular reciprocity fit for a masters domain, detailed and delineated with deft decisions of duality, in concert with the divinity of the Universe.
Grace be to the unworthy, and gratitude; the un-sane. Praise be to the Earthly, and platitudes; the vain. For not one molecule of thought nor theory shall ever create but that both positive and negative exist equally, fully indemnified and revered in their radial realm of solar solidarity.
Shine all ye people of the world, lift your face to the sun and absorb the Pharaoh's fire. Let it revitalize your roots, and foliate the branches of this species with new life, sprouting fresh and free from the pruned and purloined pistils of progress that have slumbered these long winters of war and wizen craft.
Shield the sweet, succulent stamen of life from the vultures of vindictiveness. Let it gratify the blossoming bosom of liberty, and fertilize the seeds of synergy with sagacity and civility, cultivating within our hearts and minds the fields of familial fortitude; that we may harvest each and every passing season a stronger, wiser, more vitally-rich and resilient strain of ecology, so critical to weaving the warming wealth of our fastidious and fortuitous fraternal fabric, in order to survive the many wonderful and wicked winters to come.
Blessed be the free.

Egypt Is Free At Last: What Comes Next...
In a moving video aired on ABC Nightly News, it is clear that the Egyptian people have won their freedom, and are now beginning on a quest that will prove the fortutitous nature of that region's peoples. The air of liberty will breathe new life into each and every person, and disabuse them of much of the poverty and oppression that has forced so many of the Middle East to find solace in a hateful and suicidal doctrine that was taught them by rapacious recruiters who exploited their very real, and extremely valid pain and anguish. This is truly a glorious day for all the world.
Egypt has stayed the course and remained loyal to the 'movement for equality and individuality', and this grass-roots effort has exposed the very real force which shows, in exemplary fashion, the Universal sentiment which exists within a realm of autonomy where the true power of freedom is that which promotes logical thought and reasonable behavior.
There is much to be created in this ensuing dynamo of proletariat policy, and it will be most effectively engaged by legitimizing the vast expanse of the diversity within the human condition. Legitimacy is a right, regardless of what entity may protest, or to what degree. All dissent must be given a voice and engaged in the light amid reasonable consideration for all involved, and must always conform to an air of decorum that does not insist that one be demur or soft spoken, but simply engage those around them professionally and honorably.
The people of all regions must begin to practice diligently the art of logical conflict. There can be no demonstrable engagement of aggression, as this is the very first mistake, where ignorance can be wielded as a weapon to incite violent behaviors that then begin to promote an environment of non-compliance, shuttered minds, closed meetings and eventual lack of communication.
The conversation must continue, and the art of argument must begin to be honed and perfected by an entire populous. The lucrative defense of powerful criminals has promoted an atmosphere that often escalates the argument into largely unattainable realms of diplomacy that find it consistently perverted and diluted with pontificating pragmatism that is just as often designed to inject turbidity into the cleansing waters of controversy.
The palatable natures of all nations, in this evolving theater, can certainly begin to grow more exquisite and divine as the people become more educated and filled with the exfoliating exuberance of the "proof-logic" equative journey to "proof-logic" solution, A formulae that is essentially responsible for constructing the very foundations and philanthropists of all knowledge.
One need never be concerned with the solutions -- as they are not malleable -- but rather dedicated to mastering the equation. Freeing one's mind from the obsequious and fallible nature of the answer, begins a journey of truly engaging one's human heritage, a creative parametrical function of this species which commands all to ask the right questions.
One thing that must be noted is that the subject of the "State of Emergency" that has existed since Mubarak took office after his predecessor was murdered -- and which was never lifted -- is part and parcel of a further reflective parchment of policy that will continue to unfurl as the lines become more clear.
The media in the United States has also been forced to pre-empt the ensuing conversation on this subject matter, and will be hard pressed to ignore the "State of Emergency" that has also existed in the U.S. even longer than in Egypt.
Since 1933 America has been operating under a like state which was actually tentatively engaged in 1917, during WW I, but never lifted. FOIA aside, this is an open forum that see's antagonists such as James Traficant sent to prison on trumped-up charges for attempting to expose various facets of this policy during a speech he gave to Congress. He showed that America was bankrupt, and therefore was operating on conditional powers that often excuse unconstitutional, and thereby illegal, policies and activities.
Speaker-Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House; United States Congressional Record, March 17, 1933, Vol. 33, page H-1303: "America has become completely bankrupt in world leadership, financial credit and its reputation for courage, vision and human rights. This is an undeclared economic war, bankruptcy and economic slavery of the most corrupt order! Wake up America! Take back your country."
This author is currently researching this issue, and finds it rather compelling to have personally voiced this type of sentiment almost verbatim due to largely uneducated, and personally creative analyses. My intention is to make it clear that mine is not merely a mimicry of another's reasoning, but instead supported by stark analyses.
This seamless corroboration that more and more Americans are beginning to openly voice, and on a vastly regular basis, shows the power of education, and its ability to produce extraordinary cognizance on even the most complex social and economic issues. It is vital that many become seriously concerned with the directuion the nation is heading in, and resist the temptation to follow the group mentality that insists that "thinking outside of the box" is destructive and delusional.
The evolving scope of global issues are becoming more intertwined as every-day citizens, from all walks of life, and from all over the planet, have begun to search-out that which presents as critical to their specific nation's continued success, and its relation to that of the rest of the world. Certainly, in this author's investigations the discoveries that are boiling to the surface are becoming more astonishing every day, to say the least.
Documents show that America was bankrupt back in 1933, and this prompted Franklin D. Roosevelt's to introduce House Resolution 192, which placed the entire nation under the War Powers Act, and allowed the confiscation of private reserves of Gold held by the people in 1934. This allowed the fiat currency to run amok and set the stage for the creation of the Federal Reserve, which is a private entity which creates the naiton's money supply. And incidentally, loans that printed paper to the U.S. Government at interest.
This is the primary reason why every American citizen now owes over $330,000 to the Federal Reserve today (look here and here). This, and ensuing policies are creating a burgeoning atmosphere of tyranny in America, and pushing this country toward a Fascist-style, Socialist dictatorship which, actually, almost came to fruition under George W. Bush's administration. There were far too many politicians whom were seduced by the events, and ensuing hysteria, of September 11, 2001, to declare Bush a dictator.
This is not as far-fetched as people might think. Nor was it the first time. FDR was well known to say he would be "America's last president, and its first dictator" during his 'Fireside Chats' of the 1930's
All Americans must take the time to read the entire speech given by Traficant, who was much the honorable and resolute politician, and who, in the character of Thomas Jefferson, was attempting to warn the public of the dangers of Big Central Banks and the Federal Reserve status that they are operating under.
A chilling statement from one of the visionaries of the Federal Reserve, Mayer Amschel Rothschild, was "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes the laws." He was the founder of the Rothschild Family Dynasty that was created by decieving the people into believing that Napolean had won the war, and then buying up much of the wealth when the stock market crashed shortly before it rebounded as the real news of Napoeans defeat spread.
Traficant was attempting to expose the environment of "bankruptcy" that led to the "State of Emergency" that the United States has been operating under for many decades. And which has enabled egregious disregard for the law in the highest levels of government. A government that is populated by individuals whom first and foremost must be held accountable to the laws which they have been, far too often allowed to irresponsibly create, and flout.
Furthermore, it must be understood that any law in any state of the union that is not found to be compliant with the supreme law of this land - the United States Constitution - is thereby not a law, and therefore, can only be considered an unlawful action or policy. Regardless of any inferred sanction of any office in this nation; whether Executive, Legislative, Judicial or the most powerful, that of the 'Sovereign Individual'; meaning we the people, all actions of all people must comply with the tenets of freedom found to be 'self evident' and documented by this nation's courageous and honorable forefathers.
Any informed member of any jury is more powerful than the president of this nation. The U.S. Constitution states in no uncertain terms that "The trial of all crimes are to be decided by a Jury". No waivers, no bench trials, nothing but the educating, inspirational, hallowed halls of Justice as perceived by each and every individual in this nation, and thereby a clear assertion of that which has been inalienably grafted to all with a 'birthright guarantee' of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for everyone involved.
The oral arguments proffered by various bureaucracies in an attempt to exfoliate projections for the future of Egypt will certainly be influenced by the Obama administration, which has done its part to further the veritable "peace crisis" that this nation has been harangued with for nearly a century. This, from Obama, even after vowing unprecedented levels of transparency in government.
It also must be understood that every president that has taken office since 1933 was required to draft and/or sign an Executive Order continuing the State of Emergency that all Americans now reside under; or be forced to attempt exposing this duplicitous government policy at their peril. President Barack Obama is no different. And the fact that new evidence appears to show him having been born in Kenya, completely nullifies any current "State of Emergency" drafted by this administration.
For the sake of all involved, this government must begin to truly take serious their oath to the people, and take grave consideration for the fact that they are treading on very thin ice in this ensuing atmosphere.
This is a magnificient, soveriegn, and very powerful country, and there is no reason to bring its society to a boil that may find legislators paying a far higher price for their actions than is duly warranted. The strategy of divide and conquer will not suffice, neither will the presentation or pre-emption of force. It is high time to recoup the position with decorum and honor amid a theatre of transparency that will allow full and impartial co-operation which can be equitably rewarded. There are too many victims to roll the dice in anger or vengeance.
There is every reason for the people of America to assert themselves in a like peaceable fashion as Egypt's citizens have, and hold legislators' feet to the flame in an effort to expound upon legitimate congress concerning a plethora of currently veiled agenda's and social issues; both national and international. And further, to demand that full disclosure be given the respect that it deserves - for its ability to decompress rather than exacerbate crises - with a clear and demonstrable effort to promote personal accountability for those in office in like fashion as is currently expected from private citizens and property owners.
There are likely few who realize that far too many laws are allowed to exist in utter defiance of the United States Constitution, under provisions that were ratified by a microscopic minority in this nation - under a veiled policy of Emergency Management - and which have exuded a sentiment that is consistently proliferated and propagated by the vast majority of government powers, whom considers their primary enemy to be the American People.
Make no mistake about it America, the government must be excoriated with the logical voice of legitimate dissent. This means that all action must comply with the U.S. Constitution, and first and foremost be respected by the vast majority of the population, and thereby engaging their duty as Americans who realize that Freedom is a responsibility to lead by example in compliance to the will of Universal edifice that daily creates that which has been shown to be self-evident.
This creates a social structure of free enterprise and free expression that can assist the government in its oath to act as public servants, commanded to work within the confines of this evidence, and upon the vows wherein they promise and profess - each and every time they assume an official position - to "uphold, protect and defend" the United States Constitution.
This is the people's voice, the people's truth, the people's land, and the constitution of any republic must always comply with the evidence that exists as empirical proof of that which is engaged on a daily basis within this entire Universe. There is room to amend most any creation of mankind. There is not one molecule of space available for postulating mere opinions which demand that this proof can be circumvented for the sake of any goal; Period!
This simply means that there is no room for compromise. Compromise, while often touted as a 'win-win' is nearly always, if not always, a 'lose-lose' where the parties are found to exist in an environment of illegitimate agreement that is simply a refusal to continue the debate to a decisive degree of exfoliation within the environment of analyses, dedicated to none but acts of honor and benevolence, to the logical, and thereby physically-evident conclusion which is compliant with all known realities found to exist amid those, or that, which shall be bound to, and affected by, the subject matter at hand.
Engage the white-hot realms of logical debate -- and therefore honorable conflict -- and begin to forge in the fires of freedom our most auspicious and extemporaneous tools of social development.
All hail the masters of the equation, and the generous and gentle arms of hope they embrace all humanity with...
To life, aspirations, honor, compassion ... to a better tomorrow ... to Freedom.
Miami Herald Fears Warheads in Iran's Battle of Wits
In the Miami Herald today they have given their opinion on Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s position concerning relations with Iran and the assertions of Hillary Clinton which she alleges reflects the majority of international sentiment. The Herald claims that “even before Clinton could appeal for Silva to support sanctions against Iran for breaking the rules of nuclear-proliferation, the Brazilian President offered “this airy dismissal: ‘It is not prudent to push Iran against a wall’” To which the Herald asks “what wall?” And then claims that “The United States and the world community have made a years-long effort to break down the barriers and engage Iran diplomatically about its nuclear program.” Claiming Iran’s answer was “Talk, talk, defy, defy.” However, neither the Bush administration nor the Obama administration has done anything but endeavor to dictate to Iran on various policies and blindly support Israel in almost any action they engage regardless of how monstrous it may be, or appear to their neighbors. The United States political and financial support of Israel cannot in any way be furthering relations with many of the Middle Eastern countries in that region, which is evidenced by the fact that this nation is now embroiled in various military conflicts in the region, and they are escalating with little sign of abating in the next decade. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama has almost nothing to bring to the bargaining table and instead is merely a puppet of an AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) bureaucratic machine which typically displays utter disdain toward any entity which even so much as questions their motives. Their coalitions and counterparts routinely accuse skeptics of being bigots, simply for repudiating their many brutalities and racially biased actions. The international community which the Herald is speaking of has seen fit to ignore Israel’s use of phosphor and mass casualty weapons such as the DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive) ordinance which have both been condemned by international human rights organizations, and are being investigated by the U.N. Human Rights Council for their long term biological and carcinogenic effects on entire civilian populations. Israel is even allowed to bulldoze and murder American activists, such as Rachel Corrie, with impunity, and kill Palestinian protestors -- who are merely throwing small stones -- with tear gas weapons and rubber bullets that are used in a lethal fashion, which is also prohibited by international law when engaging peaceful protestors. Iran has many times in history felt the sting of CIA covert operations and coups which have destabilized their society and overthrown their duly appointed leaders. However, many of America’s elected officials act as if they take breakfast with Ahmadinejad every morning. The Untied States memorializes nearly every qualm Israel has, or has ever had, while at the same time ignoring even the most blatant of atrocities against much of the rest of the Middle East. And this incessant posturing by American politicians will only weaken relations with a growing number of countries, and further steel Iran’s resolve to maintain inexplicably autonomous. The Herald goes on to say that “It (presumably Iran) continued to play for time, engaging ‘negotiations’ even though its secret work to develop nuclear capability constituted an undeniable violation of U.N. rules.” Stating further that “George W. Bush…offered Iran economic and diplomatic incentives (including talks with the United States) in exchange for playing by the international rules of nuclear development.” However, how can U.S. policymakers expect a country such as Iran to play by rules the United States, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the UK, France, China, India, North Korea and South Africa do not play by? Moreover, the United States shares nuclear weapons with Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey. Allegedly South Africa, who signed the non-proliferation treaty in 1991, has ceased all nuclear weapons construction, but that is largely debated. Regardless of what reasoning is proffered in justification of this double standard, it likely bears absolutely no significant relevance to Iran’s international prognosis in the mind of Ahmadinejad. Furthermore, the main contention of the U.N., C.F.R. and other intercontinental security councils appears to be that Iran will suddenly launch a nuclear strike as soon as they can get an atomic weapon built. However, there is no proof whatsoever that Iran would do anything more than what other countries have done, and that is use them as a bargaining tool. Furthermore, the only countries who are proven to have employed the use of nuclear weapons are the United States and Israel, and the U.S. has been using them since before Desert Storm as Bunker Busters and other medium and large sized ordinance that are routinely coated, or infused, with Depleted Uranium. To digress… Much evidence also shows that the CIA has employed the use of Micro Nukes in various areas of the world, including assertions by Oklahoma City police sergeant Terry Yeakey -- later murdered in 1996, but ruled a homicide -- who told close friends of seeing small, un-detonated, nuclear devices in the Murrah building on the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing, where he witnessed federal agents carting them and other explosive devices to waiting vehicles. Dr. Charles Chumley, Yeakey’s close associate in a private investigation into the matter also died the same year of the bombing (1995) in questionable circumstances when his private plane took a nose-dive into a cabbage field shortly after take-off. Investigators could find no mechanical malfunction. When one discovers that Timothy McVeigh was still in the military just months prior to the bombing, suspecting foul played by the Feds is not much of a stretch. Furthermore, there are many people who question the official reports of that day, and the conclusion that McVeigh acted alone. But back to Iran and the Miami Herald’s “opinion.” The Herald also claims that Obama offered Iran an olive branch “in his inaugural speech last year. ‘We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” Wow, Obama really showed some diplomacy there. Certainly was the very least he could do…uh, I mean say. Did the Obama administration ever show any action to back up this half-baked accusation? No, only more of the same quid pro quo that has time and again elicited the same responses from Iran; “Begin to hold Israel accountable for its brutality and blatant disregard for established borders in the region, and stop supporting their war machine…then we can talk.” The Herald cites the “discovery last September of a secret nuclear enrichment plant inside a mountain near the Iranian city of Qom which underlined that government’s determination to become a nuclear power -- and its perfidy. And given this history, President Lula da Silva’s stance sounds dangerously obtuse and unworthy of a country that aspires to be considered an equal among the world’s leaders.” So, there is no treachery on the part of Israel -- who, by the way, abstains from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty -- when it claims that it has no nukes? In the late 80’s Israel claimed that the Negev Nuclear Research Center near Dimona was merely a textile factory. It was not until 1986, after it was exposed by former site technician Mordechai Vanunu to be an enrichment facility for manufacturing nuclear weapons, that Israel admitted it was a nuclear facility, but still stopped short of exposing their “perfidy” when claiming it was merely a “research facility.” Israel first began secretly researching and building its nuclear weapons capabilities in the late 40’s with covert assistance from France, and has always maintained an “airy” posture of “nuclear ambiguity.” Israel, whenever questioned on the assertion that they possess between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads -- with the capability to deliver them via ICBM, aircraft and submarines -- simply states “Israel will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons to the region.” Which could mean any number of things, but is typically accepted as either; they will not produce them, or will just stop short of being the first to send them raining down on another country. Regardless of what they are inferring, the fact is that they are hiding their nuclear activities as well as their intentions. Can they expect any more or less form others? It appears that Iran is merely following the example set by its mendacious neighbors. The Miami Herald believes that “diplomatic efforts to isolate Iran offer the best opportunity to end this looming crisis peacefully. A successful effort requires the international community to present a united front to oblige Iran to stand down.” Sure, more force is going to get a peaceful reaction from them. What planet are these people living on? Inclusion in the process, and vilification of their voice and desires are what is necessary to decompressing the volatility of the “crisis.” And any proposals to the contrary belie a cowardly and inept viewpoint on the matter. Intuition would tell anyone with a 5th grade education that ignoring a proposed threat will not make it go away. Furthermore, neither will exacerbating the threat with pressure cause it to relinquish its position. Especially if it may possess a significant amount of justifiable concerns that are not being addressed, or being overtly ignored. The Herald even suggests coercing Brazil to act as the liaison of manipulation, and goad Iran into compliance with a dissenting compatriot image, but still voting for a new round of sanctions. What? is this high school all over again? Or some other Confidential Informant mentality likened to some episode of SCI Miami? It appears these people have been watching way too much television, or drinking too much of their own Kool-Aide. They actually suggest whoring Bazil out to Iran and conscripting their services like some sort of double agent. When reading the statements by President Silva, illuminating is obvious great deal of integrity -- that likely infuriates Hillary Clinton -- I doubt he would be obliged to play along. The article actually say’s “Brazil has a seat on the current U.N. Security Council, where its vote on a proposed tightening of sanctions against Iran carries special weight because President Lula da Silva has made it clear he is no U.S. lackey. Support for sanctions by Brazil could go a long way toward persuading Iran that the game is up. Instead, the president’s words give Tehran’s mullahs solace and comfort they don’t deserve and bring the confrontation that no one wants that much closer to reality.” It truly is astonishing how much sensationalism and doomsday edifice there is in the Miami Herald article. Does not anyone take the time to check the facts and the mountains of data which would alert them to the reality that it is prohibition and exclusionary tactics which reap the most corrupt and destructive effects. Consider the analogy that if it were to get to the point that only one country had nuclear weapons, the chance that those weapons would be used increases by a factor concordant with the number of proposed targets. This is no reason to go MAD (mutual assured destruction) about the solution. However, it is reason to insist that the leaders of the many nations begin to truly engage the equations, and realize once and for all that pragmatism, and employing a mentality that incessantly expects to legitimize actions which follow an “ends justifies the means” schematic, will result in the entire game becoming a battle of the warheads rather than a battle of the wits. Quit seeking answers, and begin understanding that they are only a terminal mechanism. For posterity and progress, one must realize that there is only engagement of the question.
