And That's My Take... (Blueprint Unfurled For Next Phase)

AND THAT’S MY TAKE… (BLUEPRINT UNFURLED FOR NEXT PHASE)

You absolutely know it’s coming. You’ve seen it before, even if you didn’t realize what you witnessed. It follows a well-worn path leading to the only destination possible. You’ve been there too. And like watching the brilliant execution of a magnificent illusion on a Las Vegas stage, you will stand in awe questioning the mechanics, the logic, the defiance of all that is humanly possible. There you will be standing in downtown Tehran with the rest of us, thinking this is déjà vu all over again.

On September 01, 2010, US President Barak Obama addressed a war-weary nation on live television, spewing the same propaganda as did his predecessor, but wrapped in a kinder, smoother lullaby. Laying the groundwork for the next overthrow of a foreign nation, Obama appeared sharp, confident, and, using his well-crafted velvet tongue, he could have sold sand to Iran. The blueprint has been unfurled.

The diversionary tactics are currently being ramped up for your delusionary experience. Watch the news headlines of your co-conspirator corporate media as they fill your television and newspaper with fluffy lead stories of an NFL player’s million dollar insurance policy on his hair, of Apple iWhatever launches, of celebrity goings on, of the name of Conan’s new talk show, and of any kink that can be sensationalized to ensure you do not pay attention to the slight of hand occurring right under your nose.

The friendly corporations that conspired with Bush Jr. to invade Iraq and overthrow Saddam Hussein enjoyed the trillions in ill-gotten loot. They utilized the same plan. All it cost was 1.5 million Iraqi citizens, a few thousand American residents, and under 5000 military personnel. That is the textbook epitome of minimal collateral damage. Now they need a break in the lottery to connive revised plans for the next Near East hood, Iran.

Imagine a new world including the mammoth land mass of Iraq and Iran, with all its geographic advantages and commercial waterways, under the thumb of the puppet masters. The neighboring Arab nations shall quake in their sandals as they readily succumb to servitude, much to the delight of Israel, on that path to the ultimate prize in the Far East, China.

Perhaps Obama might be open to a name change suggestion for the conquered nations of Iraq and Iran, They could be renamed the OSA, the Oil States of America. With the OSA properly engendered, they will be used to fuel the massive build up to the campaign that could only be described as apocalyptic.

Who among the 200-ish countries on this little blue marble can stand up to this tyrannical powerhouse permitted to run rampant on its quest for total world domination? Certainly none in the southern hemisphere. Of those in the northern hemisphere, perhaps only Russia and China have the military technology and manpower to amass any formidable defense. Unless we were to do it from within. Will you stand up?

And that’s my take.
