American Hypocrisy on Iran

How is it that the ‘religious’ neo-cons/Evangelicals (Hannity, Gaffney, https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2019/06/20/irans-attack-require-us-to-double-down-on-the-regime/, etc.) are more hungry for war and less desirous for peace than the seemingly more secular oriented voices in the Old Right and elsewhere?


Answer:  Their delusional Puritan-American belief in their Godchosenness blinds them to reality and drives them to insane actions.  If the ‘chosen nation’ receives an insult, it is the same as their angry, bloodthirsty God being insulted.  They must avenge Him at all costs.

But the hypocrisy goes further.  The Holy American Republic can go round the world murdering and maiming in the name of making a buck for giant corporations (what is usually called euphemistically ‘protecting America’s vital interests’), but as soon as any of those countries takes even a token stand to protect herself from American overlordship, they are accused of trampling all that is right and just in the world and ruthlessly beaten back into submission by the Shining City on a Hill.  American economic sanctions on Venezuela, Iran, and others are a prime ensample:

In order to fully understand the insidious nature of the Venezuelan crisis, it is necessary to understand the genesis of economic sanctions. At the height of World War Two, President Truman issued an order for American bombers to drop “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing 140,000 people instantly. The gruesome images that emerged from the rubble were broadcast through television sets across the world and caused unprecedented outrage. The political backlash forced U.S. policy makers to devise a more subtle weapon of mass destruction: economic sanctions.

The term “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD) was first defined by the United Nations in 1948 as “atomic explosive weapons, radioactive material weapons, lethal chemical and biological weapons, and any weapons developed in the future which have characteristics comparable in destructive effect to those of the atomic bomb or other weapons mentioned above”.

Sanctions are clearly the 21st century’s deadliest weapon of mass destruction.


Other writers cite the numbers killed by these sanctions:


But you will never hear Bolton, Pompeo, or any other Evangelical/phony conservative decry those deaths; they are necessary for global American Manifest Destiny to be achieved.

But the hypocrisy goes into even darker corridors.  The warmongers constantly cite Iran as the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.  But they ignore Western (including American) funding of terrorist groups and violent regimes completely:



They accuse Muslims of deception but then practice the same vice:


Mr Laurence Vance aptly sums up the warmongers’ mental state when he says,

Sheer Madness

Or is it utter lunacy. I am speaking about U.S. foreign policy. People are debating about whether the U.S. drone that Iran shot down was closer or further than 21 miles from Iran’s coast. I am inclined to not believe the lying U.S. government and its military. But regardless, why are very few even questioning why the United States flies anything anywhere near Iran or the Middle East? If Iran flew anything within 500 miles of the East coast of the United States, the U.S. government would call it an act of aggression.


Go ahead Tom Cotton.  Go ahead Tony Perkins.  Go ahead all ye demoniacs thirsty for blood.  If you want another million deaths at the hands of another Holy American crusade in the Middle East (https://www.salon.com/2018/03/19/the-staggering-death-toll-in-iraq_partner/), go ahead and shriek for war.  And may you find peaceful repose with the worm and with the fire in Gehenna.

Southron, leave this evil Union.
