Fear of Osama's ghost persists in the modern era as an online listing threatens a military base close to home.
KSHB: Whiteman AFB warns personnel after terrorists post online hit list
Of course nobody is allowed to believe that terrorism is mostly a political red herring even though these same kind of threats against local targets were pretty much standard rhetoric during the cold war as well . . . Even though that one was mostly fought to reinforce the military-industrial complex that totally doesn't have any interest in the current conflict, right?
I appreciate the blogger's political commentary in this one, though I fear it's lost on the flag-waving masses.
ReplyDeleteUSA! USA!
Let's go kill us some radical fasco-Islamic terrorists!!
Sling that big dick of patriotism
ReplyDeleteYou are a traitor, Tony.
ReplyDeleteThe threats are real, and Obama is letting the Iranians complete their nuclear projects.
If the day comes when they manage to set something off here, the political climate will change overnight.
Immigration will be shut off, and Millions of traitors swine will face massive deportations.
All the excuses in the world won't help then.
Christians are being killed around he world, while atheist hate groups in KC either deny it or ridicule it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and people denied the Holocaust too.
You know, a second Holocaust is being planned in the Middle East.
IF that day comes, though, it won't be like the last one.
You don't really think the Jews will allow themselves to be taken out ALONE this time, do you fools?
Looks like a couple of Muslim excuse makers got in the first couple of posts.
ReplyDeleteAccording to U.S. administrations, the Iranians have been "just months away" from completing a nuclear bomb.......for a few decades now!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose with a brain will remember that it was the U.S. who brokered a deal with Iran to provide them with nuclear reactors, during the Nixon administration.
The United States provided weapons, intelligence information and funding to Iran, during their 10-year war with Iraq.
Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan defeated President Carter in 1980 by sending future CIA Director William Casey to negotiate with the Iranian embassy hostage takers and convince them to NOT release our hostages until after the election! This violated U.S. law of course.
U.S. intelligence operatives (Kermit Roosevelt) directed the overthrow of democratically-elected Iranian Prime Minister Mosaddegh in 1953, when he sought to stop the theft of Iranian oil by British Petroleum.
...and the war-mongers got nothing!!!!
They're Air Force, what did you expect?
ReplyDeleteDid you know that the government of Iran steals your cash if they find more than loose change in your car? They don't arrest you for any crime, for the simple reason you didn't commit any crime; but it isn't about crime and punishment--it's about"legalizing" theft by the state.
ReplyDeleteSo the government toadies don't charge you with a crime or arrest you--they just steal your money.
Pity the poor Iranian people--clearly, there is no rule of law to protect them from their predatory, rapacious, fake-democracy, quasi-totalitarian government.
Did you also know that if you deposit too much money in modest sums, the government of Iran steals all your deposits? They will claim--oh, the twisted logic of Orwellian, repressive governments--that you are obviously a drug dealer who is avoiding laws that require banks to report large deposits to the government.
Once again, you won't be charged with a crime--in true Orwellian fashion the suspicion that you may have committed a crime is sufficient reason to steal your cash. Pity the poor Iranian people, living in such a banana-republic kleptocracy.
Did you also know that if you are caught with any drug paraphernalia in your vehicle, the government of Iran steals your vehicle? The crime isn't a drug crime--it's a property crime: what are you doing with the government of Iran's vehicle?
Pity the poor Iranian people, living in a Kafkaesque nightmare where suspicion alone justifies the government stealing from its citizens, and an unrelated crime (possessing drug paraphernalia) is used to justify state theft.
As in a Kafkaesque nightmare, the state is above the law when it needs an excuse to steal your car or cash. There is no crime, no arrest, no due process--just the state thugs threatening that you should shut up and be happy they don't take everything you own.
Your car and cash are guilty--and your house, too.
Alas, dear reader, I have misled you. It is not the Iranian government that uses these tricks to steal from its people--it is the the U.S. government that uses these above-the-law excuses to blatantly steal from its citizens. I presented these Orwellian, Kafkaesque travesties of the rule of law as being Iranian so you would see them for what they are--the actions of an above-the-law, predatory state which falsely claims to be a democracy with a functioning judiciary.
