In Iran, Pushing Your Luck Is An Olympic Event
Now, as my protective brain fog lifts and I wake up from too little sleep after yet another 14 hour day working for a complete idiot on a sit-com pilot that no one will ever see, something becomes clear to me in the way things often do, a thought that should have been obvious to everyone but one no one has picked up on, sort of like a Viagra experience, it just popped up one day.
It feels great to be back on earth hours again!
Besides Israel, who do you suppose would show up on a list of the strongest opponents to Iran going into the Nuke flinging mode? Could it be the more or less within rocket range somewhat Western countries of Greece, Turkey, Germany, Russia,Ukraine, France, China, Pakistan, or maybe even India?
Rockets? I don’t need no stinking rockets.
Nope, wrong… it’s none of the above. As of today, I’m going with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and all of those tiny countries like Qatar, Jordan, West Bumfuckistan, and of course the rest of the ‘Stans that are usually known for being Islamic run countries.
Ja’maal got a gun….. la da da da dah
And the reason I feel secure enough to make this prediction? I’m thinking that some of the brighter lights in those countries have realized that with that first hit, no, make that just the first sign of a launch from Iran or Persia or whatever those folks choose to call themselves today that goes even vaguely in the direction of Israel, well that will be the exact moment you can write down in the history books as the one where Israel starts entering their launch codes that will vaporize each and every one of those above named Islamic countries. The technical term usually attached to this preventative process is “Mutually Assured Destruction“, or MAD. To be sure, it’s an interesting theory, but if it will actually work as a deterrent when dealing with clearly suicidal types that can easily be called just plain mad or not has yet to be tested.
Hey Mahmoud, I can’t see your house anymore
So that’s why I believe that this message is starting to sink home with Iran’s soulmate neighbors and Islamic Brotherhood buddies who might now finally have something to lose. I expect that soon a sit down meeting with Iran’s Paul Reubens jerkoff stunt double, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, will take place and it will be one where they will do the jerking, and perhaps convince him to join the real world.
Mahmoud!, don’t hit that button…
And the end result of all of those years of yelling, all of that firing AK-47′s in the air, all the screaming “Death to Israel” that mainly has served him to rouse the rabble, none of it will matter to Mahmoud since his country will be just one of many glow in the dark glass covered parking lots….
Sadly, here in the U.S. we have our own psychopaths that speak to the coming of their “Rapture”, and how Israel getting nuked just moves their prophecy along one more step closer to the day of that lift off to heaven for the righteous and banishment to burn in hell with the rest of those non-believers. So far, there’s been no information provided on what the quality or quantity of virgins promised to them will be.
The beatings will continue until your morale improves
Yep, all that work to become a mere footnote in the history books, and no one will ever find out or care to know if Mahmoud got those 72 virgins.

Point of Clarification please….
The Los Angeles Times has reported today that drone strikes in Pakistan have come to a halt because of a fear of upsetting relationships with the Pakistanis. Anyone who has read my previous posting on drones will know that I’m certainly no fan of these remote controlled killing machines, especially since the main reason that they’re being used in some other country is to work out the bugs by rehearsing with them there before we see them in use here to try and manage those damn unruly protesting citizen types, especially when the cop to protestor ratio is too low to avoid the controllability problems with pepper spray.
The preferred maximum cop/protester ratio….
The question I keep being forced back to is, could you find anyone anywhere on this planet that’s not living in a third world country who truly gives a crap what anyone in Pakistan (or for that matter, any of the other “Stans”, i.e., Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, West Bumfukistan, etc…, and those countries that starts with the letters “Ira” as well) thinks about this or any other subject? . These are one and all overpopulated countries full of underfed and undereducated people who live in conditions that were unacceptable long before the year 1200 AD had rolled around, and have populations that (much like the republican party in America) are led around by the nose by religious zealots who make daily threats of implied deadly force so that their people will be coerced like so many sheep to be faithful to beliefs which are based only on belief. These are nations that other than hiding terrorists have so far haven’t done anything of note on this planet except for…, wait a minute, let me add it up, eh,……… well, nothing. A similar occurrence can be seen with the tons of bullshit that have been generated in all the attention given to our own center of nothing which we in America refer to as the state of Iowa, where regressive local mini-ayatollahs with the same sort of 3rd world religion mentality that was mentioned above have expanded their role in the coming Republican nonsense that they call a candidate selection caucus, others may call it a selection of the lesser of two weasels.
Archaic Religious Leader with modern glasses and microphones
News update, Islamic rulers in Iran have decided to leapfrog their culture into at least the 12th century by ruling that it’s o.k. to kill a woman named Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtian for adultery by hanging her, and not be required to use the regular default way of stoning her to death. You might be interested to learn that she has already received 99 lashes for that offense. I’m sure that they didn’t reach this conclusion easily, to move it forward it took the concept of what they call a “lack of stoning space”, which boggles the mind since it’s in a country that seems like it was made for stoning, what with all the rubble laying all around the place from eons of war, and vacant lots left from the buildings that were destroyed by…. eh, do I have to repeat my self?
All of the above raises the big question, why are we even in these countries where we are so totally unwelcome in the first place? In the basic search of a reason,why does it usually come down to “follow the money”? Politicians who talk about the loss of lives and money in this rat hole will say what ever is placed on the teleprompter in front of them, which gives them equal credibility to the above mentioned holy rollers.
If you have an answer to the above question, here’s are a few more for you to ponder on. Why were all of the federal (and most state) offices closed on Monday, Dec. 26th to celebrate a Christian holiday that was actually observed the day before? Has any church ever actually been separated from any state anywhere? And, when a Buddhist wanted to use the U.S. Post office on that Monday, should they have been told to go and find a comfortable place to sit and meditate on that question about separation?

What would it take?
As in, “In your wildest dream, what would it take to allow the Bush / Cheney cabal to cancel the elections in November because of national security or other issues, and thereby remain in the White House”?
What, in that crazy dream, would constitute an issue of sufficient magnitude?
War with Russia? War with Iran? War with Afghanistan? War with China? War with (fill in the blank).
How about, a complete melt down of our economy? Or maybe a sudden outbreak of Anthrax or some other fatal and fast spreading disease?
If any of the above hit a note that resonates with you, even in the smallest amount, one that you could buy into as possible, then it’s time to keep your eyes open and read actual newspapers.
Here’s your assignment; Google search “false flag” and read up on the battleship Maine, the Lusitania, the Reichstag fire, the Tonkin Gulf incident, the post 9-11 Anthrax “attack”, Dick Cheney’s unused plan to have armed U.S.. Navy Seals on boats that looked like Iraq PT boats in the Strait of Hormuz, etc……
It’s all out there, you just have to be able to read between the lines, i.e. beneath the distraction factors that take up air time and replace news column space with floss about Brittany, Lindsay, Crap Reality T.V. Shows, Faux News, whatever other useless things can be found to blather on about.
More to be added very soon, this is a work in progress and still in the research phase.

Congradulations Mr. Bush, “Mission Accomplished” ~
That is, of course if your mission was to have caused 4,000 (and counting) young American men and women to be killed.
Hell yes, you’ve even outdone Osama binLaden himself, his credit is said to total only a bit over 3,000.
Sure, you’ve gone and outspent him by what? A billion to one? And it took you five years to do what he “accomplished? in a single day with a few box openers.
I’m glad you caught the only 6 foot, 4 inch guy tethered to a dialysis machine in the mountains of Pakistan, Afghanistan, West Bumfuckistan, or where ever he’s been hiding.
Oh wait……………. hold that thought…..
So, any advance predictions on when your mission will be accomplished in Iran?
