How to Create the United States of Israel

1. Send $5 billion annually to Israel, at least two thirds of which is for military expenditures

    1. Use for massive purchases from U.S. weapons manufacturers
    2. Use in setting up lobbying and media/PR thinktanks for the bribing and/or coercing of government and media officials
    3. Allow obscenely wealthy weapons manufacturers to recycle profits to politicians, buy broadcast outlets (NBC, etc.)

2. Engineer a spectacular televised suicide bombing on U.S. soil

    1. Should unfold gradually and finish with buildings falling in surreal manner on television for maximum distribution of fear
    2. Merges Israel’s situation with the U.S. situation: both at war with Muslims (to be referenced as “fanatics who hate our freedoms,” “terrorists,” and, for the really gung-ho “Islamofascists who want to take over the West”)

3. Use military to invade and occupy Middle East countries that fail to answer to Imperial power in their midst

    1. All resistance to occupation becomes “terrorism” (see second bullet point of step “2")
    2. Occupation and war crimes, now a joint venture of the United States of Israel, become a “fight against terrorism”
    3. Always refer to use of overwhelming weapons superiority to bomb helpless civilians and their ragtag armies as a “war” or “conflict.”

4. Use false flag operations (see step “2”) to prevent the diplomacy and peaceful solutions that would stall aggression designed to bring region’s resources into sphere of Imperial elite.

    1. Paint anyone who attempts to expose the criminality as anti-American or an anti-semite (see last two bullet points of step "1").
    2. Perpetual war, perpetual security state, perpetual war profiteering and looting – aka The United States of Israel

"The basic, fundamental notion that somehow we can retreat behind our oceans and not be actively engaged in this conflict and be safe here at home, which clearly we know we won't -- we can't be."

-- U.S. Vice President Richard "Dick" Cheney

Comments:
Add to this, The Pentagon's "Second 911"

"Another [9/11] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity to retaliate against some known targets"

In the month following last year's 7/7 London bombings, Vice President Dick Cheney is reported to have instructed USSTRATCOM to draw up a contingency plan "to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States". Implied in the contingency plan was the certainty that Iran would be behind a Second 9/11.
 
this shit's just too surreal.

as warsawza says over at Lenin's Tomb...

Iran will be yet another scapegoat in the imperialism of the U.S. and Britain. Considering that one of the main tools of control over the masses is religion, how the hell can someone believe in God when Ghandi dies and Bush walks the planet?
 
Oh, and great post Bruce...

I'm seeing Waking Life with friends tomorrow. Can't wait!
 
There's the religion of faith in something better, greater and more caring. Then there's an infantile will to power through being a servant of something that can kick the shit out of your enemies. Ass whuppin' Jesus can have a lot of appeal to people whose lives are marked by some combination of abusive bosses, closed opportunities, fears of debt and ill health, and the conviction that someone wants to take what they have.
 
Eloquently put.
 
I agree Shem. J Alva is rather insighful.

You gonna blog your thoughts on "Waking Life"?
 
just as soon as I watch it a second time...!
