Can we all just make a pledge this year that we won’t fall for the public relations machine that is operating the Democrat and Republican candidacies for president this year? After all, the whole thing is about money. Allow me to prove this out for you.
First of all, Jews and Persians (Iranians) are not enemies. In fact, both have lengthy historical ties to the Middle East and are both educated peoples. The only problem with Israel and Iran is this nut job Ahmadenijad, who insists upon keeping on peddling Iranian power and influence in the region and threatening Israel, because as long as he does this the price of oil stays unreasonably high. Let’s follow the money right back to who is responsible for this, namely, Russia and Putin, who are making money from selling the Iranians nuclear technology and also making money off the highly inflated price of oil, which their nationalized oil and gas industry called Gazprom reaps the rewards. It’s a win-win situation for the Russians. They don’t give a rats ass if those reactors are bombed. They’ve already got their money. And frankly the Russians know that with the end of the Bush administration the oil business is going to tank anyway because regardless of whether McCain is elected the power brokers won’t be the same as those the Bush family had in place.
Check out the speculators who engineered the oil speculation and check out their accountants who hid the investments in Russian oil monopolies in offshore entities - way away from the reach of any average American investor. The returns have been staggering year after year, but the laws of supply and demand in the oil and gas sector will come face to face with the supply and demand for Iranian power. As the demand for the latter decreases the demand for the former will also decrease. If I were a betting man, I’d say that by election time in the U.S. the price of oil per barrel will be around $80. Short that stuff now is what I say. Before it’s too late.
The only way McCain and the Republicans are going to have a chance in this election is if they forgo their overt friendship in the oil and gas industry for a chance to regain political power by eliminating the source of Ahmadenijad’s power, which is Iran’s nuclear program. Without it, Ahmadenijad won’t have a pot to piss in, and frankly Iranians already want him to be gone. The only thing holding back an all-out attack on the nuke plants in Iran is the fact that many of them are located in densely populated areas where the fallout from an attack would affect many innocents. That doesn’t mean that it won’t happen though.
And as for Obama, he is just cashing in on indecision and hysteria by the loonie left that doesn’t have a clue at all as to how geopolitics is played. And he cashes in on the so-called bad economy (which as I’ve pointed out above is rather temporary), by gathering all of his supporters together who are perpetual victims of either race or over-privilege who instead of going out and taking risks and making money would rather sit and bitch and complain and put on these pitiful woe is me faces. Looking at the faces in the Obama rally crowds is like looking at a welfare line and an unemployment line in any urban area. The same old lazy dumb bastards are always bitching about how hard their lives are, while at the same time the immigrants to this country are working hard and doing anything to survive and not complaining a bit. At least these people can be counted on for the straight truth about how hard it really is back in the countries where they came from. They’re not interested in Obama’s pity party.
Vote Libertarian in 2008, America. Put aside all the nonsense about race, gender, economics, and other various and sundry crap that the government shouldn’t be involved in in the first place. Focus on one thing, which is the money. Think for a moment how different the Middle East would be if Iran and Israel formed a Middle East trading region in the area, and if because of both country’s great potential and domination of the region that they cooperated instead of fought one another and formed one of the greatest economic forces in the world. And then think for a moment how this might occur, which is how power is developed in the first place: By sheer necessity, it being the mother of invention.
Heck, Iran already controls Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Israel is pretty much in charge of the rest of the region. And neither country is interested in Saudi Arabia’s hypocrisy at all. Put these two countries together and suddenly you will have made lemonade out of a huge lemon. The price of oil will drop, Russia’s eagerness to proliferate nuclear technology will cease to a large degree, and American can forget about this endless two-party choice of either endless negotiation or endless war.
Al Gore is a charlatan and a snake oil salesman who is trying to make money from investments in non-fossil fuel companies, while at the same time raising the stakes in everyone’s mind that the end of the earth is nigh simply because geopolitical problems (that Democrats are unwilling to solve) cause the price of oil to be high. George Soros is the Al Gore of the financial world, who preaches about the end of the world as well so as to bring down market prices so that he can buy in and make money. And as for Teddy Kennedy, the great liberal senator, he was born into privilege, became the leader of the Boston Irish Democratic gangster establishment, and out of his own guilt of having been the one who killed his mistress became the voice of the downtrodden and underprivileged. These Democratic leaches are nothing more than a front for their own self-enrichment.
I say to America, grow up and be adults. See the world for what it is rather than what you would like it to be. Iran will take care of itself, but only if we push it in the right direction. To the credit of Republicans, the Bush policy of democratization in the Middle East is the right policy even though it is labeled as unpopular, and unfortunately force was and still is needed to achieve it. With radical Islamic clerics in charge of the military in unfriendly middle eastern regimes that have so much potential there is little if any other choice in the matter because we are not dealing with a normal military situation put in place by a government but rather one that is held together by religious beliefs. America has a choice right now, yet if we don’t have a framework in place for absorbing the great progress that will result from a new democratic Middle East then the same old games will continue to be played by Democrats and Republicans in a period when this occurs and the opportunity will pass us by to accept a Middle East at peace. It’s not only possible, it’s actually on it’s way right now. What a shame it would be at that critical juncture in American history to have the same old rhetoric being put forth by the two parties at a time when free trade breaks out in the most unlikely place. And what a shame it would be to continue to use force in a region where force would not be needed any longer. But maybe that’s what this game of self-enrichment is all about after all: Militarize the Middle East by keeping everyone fighting, make money off of the conflict, inflate the price of oil and make money off that as well. Enough is enough.
