The war has already begun, total war
is a possibility
February 13, 2011
While the corporate owned media has the plebeians
arguing over whether or not Iran should have nuclear
weapons or if it intends to commit genocide against the
Jews (the
largest population of Jews in the Middle East
outside of Israel actually resides in Iran), the debate
is already over, and the war has already quietly begun.
Before it began, however, someone meticulously meted out
the details of how it would unfold. That "someone" is
the mega-corporate backed Brookings Institute.
Background
"Which Path to Persia?" was written in 2009 by the
Brookings Institute as a blueprint for confronting Iran.
Within the opening pages of the report, acknowledgments
are given to the Smith
Richardson Foundation, upon which
Zbigniew Brzezinski sits as an acting governor.
The Smith Richardson Foundation funds a bizarre myriad
of globalist pet projects including studies on geoengineering, nation building, meddling in the
Caucasus region, and even studies,
as of 2009, to develop methods to support
"indigenous democratic political movements and
transitions" in Poland, Egypt, Cuba, Nepal, Haiti,
Vietnam, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, and Burma.
Also
acknowledged by the report is the Crown Family
Foundation out of Chicago.
The Brookings Institute itself is a creation of the
notorious globalist funding arms including the Carnegie
Corporation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford
Foundation, all who recently had been involved in the
fake "Ground
Zero Mosque" controversy.
Today, Brookings boasts a full complement of support and funding from America's biggest corporations.
Upon the Brookings Institute's board of trustees one will find a collection of corporate leaders from,
Goldman Sachs
the Carlyle Group
the insurance industry
Pepsi (CFR)
Alcoa (CFR)
various CFR affiliated consulting firms like McKinsey & Company
Full details can be found within the pages of their
2010 annual report here.
To say Brookings is of big-business, by big-business and
for big-business is a serious understatement. This is
crucial to keep in mind as we examine their designs
toward Iran and consider the terrible cost every single
option they are considering has towards everyone but,
unsurprisingly, their own bottom-lines.
Motivations Should be
Obvious
We must look into the minds of those that shape U.S.
foreign policy and sweep aside the distracting rhetoric
they feed us.
U.S. foreign policy is shaped by organizations like the Brookings Institute which consist of members of the largest corporations and banks on earth. These corporations are not only disinterested in security, but thrive on the war and conflict insecurity breeds.

Iran not only possesses massive oil reserves and an
economic, political, and militarily strategic location
in relation to Russia and China, it also boasts a
population of 76 million.
This is a large population
that if left sovereign and independent can viably
compete against the West's degenerate casino economy, or
if invaded and corrupted, can become 76 million more
consumerist human cattle.
The sheer scale of the military options considered by
Brookings' strategy would be a boom alone for the
defense contractors that sponsor it, whether the
operation was a success or not. The incentive to
domineer over Iran is quite obvious and only made more
attractive from a corporate American point of view when
considering all the risks of such domineering are
completely "socialized," from the dead troops, to the
broke tax payers.
No matter how insane the following
report may sound, keep in mind, "they have nothing to
lose."
The globalists run think-tanks all over the world like
Brookings where their policy wonks generate an immense
amount of strategic doctrine. This doctrine then
converges to form a general consensus. Knowing the
details of this doctrine beforehand can give us clues as
to what to look for on the geopolitical chessboard as
their gambits play out.
Green revolutions, resigning admirals, bizarre troop
build-ups in Afghanistan and Iraq, terrorist attacks
within Iran, and high profile assassinations all make
sense if you are aware of the playbook they are working
from.
The hyped and very
fake "war on terror" being ratcheted up on the
home-front is also a telling and alarming sign, perhaps
the most alarming of all.
Page 1: Bottom Line
With frank honesty, the report opens by declaring Iran a
confounding nation that undermines America's interests
and influence in the Middle East.
Not once is it
mentioned that the Islamic Republic poses any direct
threat to the security of the United States itself. In
fact, Iran is described as a nation intentionally
avoiding provocations that would justify military
operations to be conducted against it.
Iran's motivations are listed as being ideological,
nationalistic, and security driven - very understandable
considering the nations to its east and west are
currently occupied by invading armies.
This is the crux
of the issue, where it's America's interests in the
region, not security, that motivate it to meddle in
Iran's sovereignty, and is a theme that repeats itself
throughout the 156 page report.
Page 11: The Nuclear
Non-Threat
The report concedes that Iran's leadership may be
aggressive, but not reckless.
The possession of nuclear
weapons would be used as an absolute last resort,
considering American and even Israeli nuclear deterrence
capabilities. Even weapons ending up in the hands of
non-state actors is considered highly unlikely by the
report.
Similar
reports out of RAND note that Iran has had chemical
weapons in its inventory for decades, and
other reports from RAND describe the strict control
elite military units exercise over these weapons, making
it unlikely they would end up in the hands of
"terrorists."
The fact that Iran's extensive chemical
weapon stockpile has yet to be disseminated into the
hands of non-state actors, along with the fact that
these same elite units would in turn handle any Iranian
nuclear weapons, lends further evidence to this
conclusion.
Brookings notes on page 24, that the real threat is not
the deployment of these weapons, but rather the
deterrence they present, allowing Iran to counter U.S.
influence in the region without the fear of an American
invasion.
In other words, the playing field would become
level and America may be forced to recognize Iran's
national sovereignty in regards to its own regional
interests.
Page 23: Persuasion
The first option on the table is a means to coerce the
Iranian government, without regime change, through
crippling sanctions versus incentives. The incentives,
in turn, seem more a relief from American imposed
torment than anything of actual substance.
One incentive in particular is very telling. Brookings
suggests "security guarantees" from an American invasion
to address the very real concerns that would motivate
Iran to construct nuclear weapons in the first place.
Brookings notes that concrete action would would be
needed by the U.S. in order to fulfill this incentive,
including drawing down U.S. forces in the Middle East, a
concession Brookings itself admits is highly unlikely
over the next several decades.
Brookings interjects at this point, a brazen admission
that under no circumstance should the U.S. grant Iran a
position of dominance nor should there be any ambiguity
about what the U.S. sees as Iran's role in the region. It
is most likely postures like this that have driven Iran
to such extremes to protect itself, its interests, and
its very sovereignty.
This option of "persuasion" appears to have already
played out and failed, both in drawing concessions from
Iran through meaningless offers and at marshaling the
international support needed to make additional
sanctions effective.
Page 65:
Total War
Indeed a conventional war with Iran is currently
impossible.
The globalists at the Brookings Institute
acknowledge that. What is worrying is that they believe
it would not be impossible if only America was presented
with the "proper" provocations. Brookings' experts go on
to say that Washington could take "certain actions" to
ensure such provocations took place.
Furthermore, Brookings states that Iran has already gone
through extreme measures specifically not to react to
American provocations, raising the specter that
provocations may take the shape of a staged event
instead, should full-scale invasion be sought.
This is where the tireless efforts of 9/11 Truth have
paid off and now stand between the American people and a
costly, unprecedented war.
They have at the very least
made the term "false flag" mainstream, raising the
stakes exponentially for anyone attempting to stage
provocations.
Page 103:
Supporting a Color
Revolution
Hailed as the "most obvious and palatable method" of
bringing about the Iranian government's demise,
Brookings suggests fostering a popular revolution.
It
brazenly admits the role of the "civil society
organizations" in accomplishing this and suggests
massive increases in funding for subversive activities
in Iran.
Of course the United States has already passed the
Iran Freedom Support Act, directly funding Iranian
opposition groups inside of Iran with the explicit
objective of overthrowing the current government. The
passage of the act was followed by the 2009 "green
revolution," which Iranian security forces were able to
put down.
Currently, the "green revolution" in Iran is gearing up
again. The U.S. State Department and corporate sponsored
Movements.org has been following and supporting the
U.S.-backed Iranian uprisings since the beginning.
Iranian-American
Cameran Ashraf, described as a senior fellow at
Movements.org, participated in the 2009 event.
Movements.org featured on their front page recently,
information on the
upcoming "green" revolution set to feed off the
U.S. backed overthrow of the Mubarak regime in Egypt.
Indeed this option is currently being pursued. Brookings
specifically mentions threatening Iran with instability
as a means to leverage concessions from the government.
It goes on to explicitly call for the promotion of
unrest within Iran's borders, and when coupled with the
crippling sanctions Iran is already under, constitutes
an
overt act of war as pointed out numerous times by
Congressman Ron Paul.
Brookings also suggests the use of military force in
conjunction with their staged color revolutions,
recognizing Iran's well developed internal security
apparatus.
This was not done in 2009, but should be
considered and looked out for each time the "green"
revolutionaries come out into the streets.
Page 113: Supporting Real Terrorism
Despite the shameless bravado displayed throughout the
entire report, no section is as shocking as the one
titled "Inspiring an Insurgency."
Brookings is outright
advocating the funding, training, and triggering of a a
full-blown armed insurgency. The report specifically
mentions Ahvazi Arab separatists, which would later be
the subject of Seymour Hersh's "Preparing
the Battlefield" where he exposes the option as
already being set in motion within Iran.
Kurds in the north, and Baluch rebels near Pakistan in
the east are also mentioned as potential recipients of
U.S. aid in conducting their campaigns of armed terror
against the Iranian people.
The CIA is selected to
handle supplies and training, while Brookings suggests
that options for more direct military support also be
considered.
In their subsection, "Finding a Proxy," Brookings
describes how the use of ethnic tensions could fuel
unrest. It laments the fact that many ethnic minorities
still hold nationalism as a priority along with their
fellow Persians.
And despite being on America's official
terrorist list for having previously killed U.S. military
men, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) are given ample
consideration within Brookings' report.
In their subsection, "Finding a Conduit and Safe Haven,"
Brookings describes various methods of harboring their
stable of U.S. funded terrorists within the nations
currently occupied by U.S. troops and how to ferry them in
and out of Iran between operations.
Page 145:
Bringing it all Together
Brookings suggests that no single option is meant to
stand alone. It suggests that options be pursued
concurrently.
Apparently Brookings' advice has been taken to heart as we have seen in the news, from Seymour Hersh's reports of covert U.S.-backed terrorists, to the overtly staged "green" revolutions, to the sabotage and assassinations plaguing Iran's nuclear program.
While it
is quite obvious that many of Brookings' policies are
being carried out verbatim, what is most alarming is
what's suggested next should these combined ploys fail.
From the report itself, page 150:
"A policy determined to overthrow the government of Iran might very well include plans for a full-scale invasion as a contingency for extreme circumstances.
Certainly, if various forms of covert and overt support simply failed to produce the desired effect, a president determined to produce regime change in Iran might consider an invasion as the only other way to achieve that end.
Moreover, the United States would have to expect Iran to fight back against American regime change operations, as it has in the past. Although the Iranians typically have been careful to avoid crossing American red lines, they certainly could miscalculate, and it is entirely possible that their retaliation for U.S. regime change activities would appear to Americans as having crossed just such a threshold.
For example, if Iran retaliated with a major terrorist attack that killed large numbers of people or a terrorist attack involving WMDs - especially on U.S. soil - Washington might decide that an invasion was the only way to deal with such a dangerous Iranian regime.
Indeed, for this same reason, efforts to promote regime change in Iran might be intended by the U.S. government as deliberate provocations to try to goad the Iranians into an excessive response that might then justify an American invasion."
Considering
Operation Northwoods, the falsified
Gulf of Tonkin event, the myriad of lies that
brought us into war with Iraq and Afghanistan,
not the
least of which was
9/11 itself, it is truly a frightening specter to
think about what might come next.
We already see the absurd security apparatus being put
into place across America and the
various declarations by European leaders that
"multiculturalism" has failed, setting the stage for a
"clash of civilizations." There is also an
uptick in rhetoric by American leaders warning of an
impending terrorist attack.
It is not beyond the realm
of possibility that the U.S. might attempt to provide
their own "provocation" for war in the Iranians' stead.
Final Thoughts
It is quite obvious Brookings' suggestions and their
execution are detrimental to all involved, from our
brave but gravely misled troops, to the tax payers
fleeced by underwriting the war, to the decimated
Iranian people.
Boycotting the very corporations sponsoring this policy undermines their self-serving objectives regardless of the means by which they try to accomplish them. Their very ability to fund studies like this, let alone carry them out is a direct result of our daily patronizing of their mega-corporations.
Raising
awareness that corporate interests, not security
concerns, are the prime motivations for conflict with
Iran is also essential in convincing citizens of both
countries to step back from the brink.
In this world today, events seem astronomically bigger
than any one of us. We feel there is no certainty we can
succeed against such odds. What is essential to
understand though, is that while acting does not
guarantee success, not acting most certainly guarantees
defeat.
Follow the brave example of 9/11 Truth and other activists in the growing alternative media - fight against the manufactured consensus by adding yourself to a consensus on truth.
