U.S. Escalating Covert Operations Against Iran - report

Here’s the new Seymor Hersh piece for the New Yorker:

[A] lesson was learned in the [speedboat] incident: The public had supported the idea of retaliation, and was even asking why the U.S. didn’t do more. The former official said that, a few weeks later, a meeting took place in the Vice-President’s office. “The subject was how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,” he said.

Update: Israel: They’ll nuke us within a year!

    “Admiral Fallon acknowledged, when I spoke to him in June, that he had heard that there were people in the White House who were upset by his public statements. ‘Too many people believe you have to be either for or against the Iranians,’ he told me. ‘Let’s get serious. Eighty million people live there, and everyone’s an individual. The idea that they’re only one way or another is nonsense.’”

    No wonder he had to go.

    Back in my days as a dumb  moth drawn to the flame of y2k kookdom, there was a charming abbreviation going around: TSHTF , “The scat hits the fan.”Steve C, I think that the days of TSTHTF are not far off.  Not a bad idea to stock up on water, water purification systems, food, and arms.I mean that.  Things are beginning to snowball now.

    “The irony is that we’re once again working with Sunni fundamentalists, just as we did in Afghanistan in the nineteen-eighties.” -Robert Baer
    And that’s why Afghanistan is the model of peace and prosperity that it is today.

    Steve CI too am unarmed and still fairly ignorant about all things gun related.  Probably because I hate them so much.However I wonder how much I can trust every last one of my neighbors in a possible situation where society descends into chaos after economic collapse from all the empire building and wealth destruction.

    For a preview of mob mentality in life or death situations, preview the Twilight Zone episodes “The Monsters Are Due on Main Street”  from 1960 and “The Shelter” from 1961. Both episodes in three parts are available on YouTube.  Both are tame by today’s standards but their psychological message is loud and clear.  Rod Serling really knew human nature.
