Oh! ISIS-K. RIIIIGHT

By Paul Edwards

Well, that’s a relief. The Empire’s PR people came out right after the massacre at Crocus to tell us that it had nothing to do with Ukraine, much less with them. They said they warned Putin that an attack was likely at a music event or something. Of course, they couldn’t tell him where, because they didn’t know, you see.

The thing that comes to mind hearing The Empire’s solemn, baldfaced denials of responsibility for the Moscow mass murders is the story of the man caught by his wife in flagrante, and as she stares at him, naked and erect, he yells to her, “Hon, it’s not me!”

I have no sound information on the Crocus horror, and so can draw no firm conclusions about it. Anything I offered would be baseless opinion which, although very much in vogue among The Empire’s mouthpieces nowadays, does not make it past my Superego as a usable mode of operation.

Stating as fact that which cannot be verified or which is patently untrue, as in the case of most of what we are informed is real information, as opposed to the “mis”, “dis”, or “mal” types that our government is so intent on eliminating, is not a practice I can subscribe to. I prefer to defer judgement and confess ignorance rather than to make assertions that are untethered to the reality they address. Of course, I’m not your government.

What seems to be certain is that a few men of Tajik nationality killed over 140 people. They were caught on the way to the Ukrainian front and are imprisoned with a number of their fellows who are said to have had some role in it. That’s it. There is no information on their motive, and only rumors as to sponsoring or backing, including some in our media speculating that Putin did it himself, in order, they say—as in the Nord Stream blowup—to injure himself and his national interest. The reasoning in The Empire’s press strongly resembles Medieval Scholasticism, or the headlines once run in the Volkischer Beobachter, but there it is.

The aftermath of the massacre is being met in Moscow with a deafening silence which the simple take to mean that it is being gagged down as a bad break that will be forgotten, but that ain’t necessarily so. One can’t be sure, but a betting man would conclude there is deep, thorough investigation going on that will lead to sound conclusions and, perhaps, spectacular behaviors.

In contrast to the Crocus case, there seems to be no doubt that Nazi Israel took out the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, killing a leader of the Quds Force. Iran has vowed to revenge the act, but again, there is official silence as the matter is investigated.

The prudence evinced by both injured states in exercising such restraint is both fortunate for the world and wise, since retaliation, however justified, is likely to bring on regional or even world war. The fact that each attack was so violent and carried out on home territories—an embassy is considered part of its home country—makes the patience shown in responding to them amazing.

The quietly charged atmosphere around these provocative hits has a distinct resemblance to the tense, foreboding days in Europe after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914. Before the horrendous bloodletting of WWI, there were a couple of weeks during which those who realized what threatened was cataclysmic held their breath in hopes of a rationality that didn’t come. This is no prediction. These grim events may resolve themselves in some way that avoids an eruption. The nations involved, however incensed and insulted, may find a means of avoiding an arbitrament of force, but the fact remains that massive power blocs are in open confrontation.

What is worse is that The Empire, desperate from a string of losses and humiliations that only benefitted the War Machine—admittedly, the driving power of this sick, delaminating relic of a hegemon—and unable to face its own demotion from world boss to a sort of lethal raging granny, will continue to tempt fate with its advanced case of national dementia. It will not relent until it gets the real war it seeks in which it will be, for the first time in its short history, thrashed within an inch of its life. My, that will be a hard surprise to the great majority of braindead Americans.

Rhetoric can be wounding, but superior weaponry annihilates. And The Empire doesn’t have it. None of it. Russia, in contrast, does. The Empire is still basking in the glory of the incineration of Dresden and the battle of the Coral Sea. It is as prepared as it can possibly be… for World War II. Or even Korea or Vietnam… But its mighty arsenal of yesteryear will be as ineffectual against hypersonics as Polish cavalry was against the Panzer Korps.

The wild card in all this is Nazi Zionist Israel. The last six months have been as perfect a demonstration of the behavior of a nation that has not only lost its moral compass and threadbare cloak of civilization, but has even laid its rotting, repugnant soul open for the world to see, and smell. One has to conclude that the word “Israel” must mean “murder” in Hebrew. This psychotic entity attacked Iran directly and sees no reason to even lie about it, and the vicious affront is an act of war that demands commensurate or greater response. And it will come.

Then, if Israel chooses, the dogs of real war can be loosed, and the range of complications becomes imponderable. Once again, as always with Israel, Aunt Sam’s Empire is caught on its back foot by Zionist hubris, and will be pulled into any hairy stuff Herr Netanyahu precipitates. Not that our geriatric politburo wouldn’t be keen to break a lance for our nation’s Zionist Jewish owners. After all, as Nancy, Mitch and the whole Crone and Geezer High Command have vowed, it is—to paraphrase that old monster, George Wallace—“Israel today, Israel tomorrow, Israel forever!”

The bughouse lunacy of The Empire in its senescence is so stark that it would be risible if our lives weren’t tied to it. But they are.
