“What must be said . . .”

Günter Grass, an 84-year old German writer and Nobel prizewinner, has been attacked for daring to speak his mind in a poem about Israel’s intention to bomb Iran. His poem and a selection of related articles have been posted on my Wall at Google-Plus, here:

Israel – manipulating war on Iran:

The world has wised up to Hasbara — Israel’s Ministry of Propaganda

‘Hasbara’

Telling lies about Iran:

The world’s Intelligence Agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have concluded that Iran is not building nuclear weapons, nor is it developing them, and yet Western politicians and mainstream media continue their push for war.

Why? Hasbara, Israeli propaganda: more lies, more war, more death, more destruction, and more misery for humanity . . . a selection of articles on my Wall at Google-Plus:

War on Iran: a reality-check

– AN UPDATE –

Following my earlier posts on the lies about Iran, it’s reasonable to ask what, or who, is pushing the world to war? — only the war mongers and their politicians, it appears; most certainly not the military . . .

Military experts are opposed to any attack on Iran simply because, no matter which way their war-gamers at the Pentagon play this through (even best-case-scenarios) the reality is that, if attacked, Iran will kick their butts. Not only the Pentagon; there is also serious opposition to an attack on Iran coming from Israel’s war experts, too, and I’ve posted some relevant assessments and commentaries on my Wall at Google-Plus, here:

Telling lies about Iran

.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me . . .

It’s a familiar pattern — main stream media assisting Israel, NATO and America, justify their destruction of yet another Middle East country, Iran.  Here is a selection of articles and commentaries on my Wall at Google-Plus that disassemble the lies we’re being told:

War on Iran

In one of my earlier posts — Enemies of Humanity — I posted a selection of articles and assesements on moves by Israel, the US Government and NATO as they prepare to attack Iran.

As the clock counts down, and the din of their war drums intensifies, an interesting academic debate on the PROS and CONS of an attack on Iran has developed between Matthew Kroenig from Foreign Affairs Magazine (PROS) and Stephen M. Walt from Foreign Policy Magazine (CONS).

Links to their respective pieces have been posted in chronological order on my Wall at Google-Plus, here:

Liar! Liar!

Does anyone anywhere actually believe anything anymore, what
the US Government tells us? Anyone? — No, thought not . . .

This past week the US Government cranked-up its spin to justify an attack on Iran and commence WW III — although, problem being for Uncle Sam, our world has woken up and no longer believes the lies. Here is a selection of critical articles I’ve posted on my Wall at Google-Plus that disassemble the latest US Government’ story:
