The understory of the Iranian oil embargo remains unreported throughout the US

The Gay Secretary

1. The embargo will hurt the EU badly -
Greece in the midst of a terrible debt crisis. They import 25% of it's oil from Iran.
Now that they are led by a Goldman Sachs/European technocrat they will
further sacrifice the country's needs for the sake of Washington's wishes.
Italy and Spain import over 10% of their oil from Iran.
2. India, China, and Russia are large importers of Iranian oil who have no intention of
doing Washington's bidding. India and China have indicated that they will buy the oil
with gold and Russia with Rubles.
3. The US is doing this because they want regime change. As the world super power,
they want and increasingly demand at the point of a gun, that their wishes be followed.
Democracy is always a lesser value than aceding to Washington's agenda.
4. As with most wrong headed policies this will have harmful unintended consequences
and will quicken the fall of the US empire. As all can see, it will cause
the Dollar to fall and gold to rise. It will also quicken the end of the Dollar's
reign as the reserve currency of the world.

Of course, the 2003 blackout was not caused by a cyber attack, but a cyber attack makes a great cover story for a national power grid collapse

The Gay Secretary

The power grid has decayed to the point of collapse, along with nuclear reactors that have reached the end of their useful lives and are also facing "involuntary shutdowns" (as just happened in San Onofre). Or, a cyber blackout may be the much-ballyhooed false-flag attack to be blamed on Iran. If Israel's Stuxnet virus made it all the way to Fukushima then it is a given it is all over the United States by now. So, yank the power, blame Iran for it, keep the power off so that the bloggers cannot call attention to the obvious falsehoods being shouted through the battery operated radios and TVs, and kick off the next war that way!

Let us hope that ultimately, cooler heads in Beijing and DC will prevail on this one

The Gay Secretary

But there is one thing that those in the bowels of power in DC, Tel Aviv, and Geneva need to realize; Chinese military leadership has gone on record as stating that they will unhesitatingly start World War III to avoid losing the oil they need from Iran.

According to NDTV, a Chinese news station based outside the country, in regard to recent speculation that Iran would be the target of a US-Israeli military assault, Major General Zhang Zhaozhong commented that, "China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third world war," remarks described as "puzzling to some". The news report also quotes Professor Xia Ming as paraphrasing Zhaozhong's quote that, "not hesitating to fight a third world war would be entirely for domestic political needs."

I would not characterize this strong language as "puzzling"; this general was simply making the case for what he believes would be in China's best interests, if the US and Israel are insane enough to initiate such a military misadventure.

And in recent years, unfortunately, sanity has had a rather distant relationship to US foreign policy.

I would, therefore, respectfully request that the US, NATO, and Israeli military and civilian leadership take this person at his word.

Since the dawn of the 20th Century, every major war has been lost by the nation that started it

The Gay Secretary

This goes back to the warning made by Sun Tsu in "The Art of War" that the army with the moral law on their side is the army that wins.
Once again I will predict that the US will lose this war. The US lacks "Three Ms", Money, Manpower, and Manufacturing, all of which are needed in copious amounts to fuel a major war.

Of course, the bankers who profit from war care not which side wins or loses, as both sides go into debt to fight the war and further into debt to rebuild from the war. It is easy for the bankers to change which flag hangs from the front of their counting houses. It is to them, after all, merely colored cloth.
