The Pressure Cooker

Allrighty, then. We have pretty much made it through July, 2008. That's good. Very, very good.

August approaches, with the Summer Olympics. Meanwhile, the pressure on Israel builds inexorably. They really, really, really want us to handle the Iranian problem. And by that, I am referring to the 'real' problem: Iran's challenge to Israel's hegemony over the Middle East, which isn't a problem at all except for a very small circle of people, for whom it poses an insufferable affront to their self-esteem by wrecking their plans for world domination. Whaaa!! For as everyone paying attention knows, there's no legitimate reason for the US or Israel to attack Iran. So that necessitates fabricating some illegitimate reason, or false flag.

Cutting short his trip in Europe the first week of July, recently-appointed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Adm. Mike Mullen flew to Tel Aviv along with an entourage of high-ranking US military personnel and, upon his arrival, rushed to meet with the highest-ranking members of Israel’s military establishment. While this is not unusual (as many such meetings have been taking place as of late) what was unusual was the topic discussed–Israel‘s attack on the USS Liberty 41 years ago during the 6 day war and how ‘important’ it was ‘not to allow history to repeat itself,’ given the present tensions existing between Israel and Iran. Considering the subject of that meeting and the well-known cover-up that has taken place these last 41 years, the meeting should have made headline news all over America. Sadly, however, it did not, just another testimony to the fact that America is now officially ‘occupied territory’ every bit as much as Arab Palestine.

What's that? Yes. Mullen told the Israelis not to attack one of our ships and blame it on Iran. What nice friends we have in Israel, that need to be managed like the back-stabbers they are. But I suppose this is progress.

Of course, this forces the Israelis and their traitorous US branch of neocons to release the pressure some other way.

And as sobering a theme as all this may be, the fact is that it may turn out to be much worse. What Israel wants, Israel gets, and the fact that an attack on a US ship has been thwarted does not mean that the fat lady has sung, as now the likelihood of a false flag attack on the American mainland has been made all the more likely. This time however, just for good measure and for spite, it might not be a city building coming down after being struck by an airliner, but rather an entire city being consumed in a mushroom cloud, courtesy of a place called Dimona and a criminal organization known as Mossad.

Go read the whole thing.

I would have to agree that we are not getting out of this mess unscathed. I think an argument can be made that a very large portion of the American population will not understand how compromised our nation has become until the grim truth is shoved down our throats. What happens then is anyone's guess.

UPDATE: Right on cue....ABC News reports US Headed for 'Heightened Alert' Stage.

Government officials have been quietly stepping up counterterror efforts out of a growing concern that al Qaeda or similar organizations might try to capitalize on the spate of extremely high-profile events in the coming months, sources tell ABC News.

Homeland Security, headed up by the dual Israeli-US citizen and Talmudic Jew, Michael Chertoff, has announced a POHA -- Period of Heightened Alert, expected to run from now through July 2009. Shocking.
