NEIL CONAN AND HIS EXPERT ON IRANIAN BARBARIANS

Yesterday Neil Conan, the golden voiced lad at NPR, hosted some unremembered expert on the Iran who characterized the Iranians as something like barbarians.  I couldn't find the incriminating evidence as I looked for it today
on the NPR site but here is my criticism of the expert and Conan without any bibliography, eh?


The topic was the "terrible threat" of Iran, one of NPR's and the national security cult's favorite foci.  The terrible threat of Iran maybe having nuclear weapons was brought up again and again as a pretext for sanctions against Iran.  Yet there was obviously more than sanctions suggested by the discussion.  It was, in fact a disingenuous effort, as before with Iraq on NPR, to justify a chain of escalating attacks on Iran beginning with an intensification of the economic embargo the United States has tried to impose since it's favorite dictator was overthrown thirty years ago.  As with Iraq the end game is the destruction of another advanced nation with lots of oil in the ground.  NPR.


Of course there are defects in the Iranian ecclesiatical regime but that doesn't mean the United States has become a champion of human rights or of Iranian democracy.  Indeed, the so-called democracy in the United States is a complete mind numbing farce which has effectively left the American people even more impotent than the Iranian people who at least have the gumption to rebel against their government, something Americans will apparently never do in their own country!  Why are Americans such gutless wonders?  The two party farce is a great deal of the problem and NPR does its part to manipulate and control the population in close coordination with the VIP caste and National Security Coconspirators.


Conan went so far as to assert as a fact that Iran is a few years from developing a nuclear weapon.  This is the kind of thing NPR loyally reported when G. W. was spinning his lies about Iraqi WMDs with Tony Blair and Big Dick Cheney.  So much for objective fact based journalism.  NPR  


At one point a caller suggested that the two gentlemen discuss the Israeli nuclear threat and the caller noticed that only in America could the so-called imagined and not real Iranian nuclear threat could be discussed without any reference whatsoever to the Israeli strategic arsenal.  The guest expert said he would in fact address the issue.  Would that be the first time on NPR the issue of Israeli nukes has been discussed?


Yet the barbarian expert and Conan simply defended Israel and with an obvious devotion to the Israeli state that may reveal what NPR is largely about.  It turns out Israel the invader of Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and conqueror of Palestine is a swell responsible country.  The Iranians are not responsible like the Israelis even though they invaded no one.

So the guest portraying the Iranians as barbarians pointed out that Israel is a "responsible" nuclear weapons holder so it is ok.  End of discussion.

  Conan had to insert his own defense of the strategic nuclear power with the idea that Israel never signed a nuclear nonproliferation agreement as Iran had!  So, thinking like a damn lawyer, it is fine to go after Iran and ignore Israel.  Double standards everywhere, that is what lawyers and the defenders of elite privilege do best, justify and implement double standards.


So there never has been nor ever will be a program on NPR about the American or Israeli nuclear threat to others or even ourselves!  Yes, these are responsible nations and above scrutiny.  Iran on the other hand can be bashed, placed under siege and attacked for decades without so much as a smirk from Neil Conan or a slew of experts that love Israel even more than they love the United States.



So, according to NPR, it is ok to destroy the Iranian regime and maybe Iran as well for an imagined nuclear threat that doesn't even exist (or some other excuse) but the really existing strategic arsenal of Israel, at least three hundred nuclear weapons, is still not going to be discussed!  Thus we see the Israeli, United States and NPR consensus, Israeli nuclear weapons good,  US nuclear weapons good. Iranians nuclear program even without weapons bad!  I am surprised neither Conan nor his guest shouted out, "Ich liebe Israel!"  Double standards and the Israeli lobby all in one mellow package.


What percent of the NPR staff has Israeli citizenship in addition to their American citizenship?  How many are active in Zionist organizations?

GROSS TERRY AND HER NATIONAL SECURITY LAWYER EXPERT DECIDE TO LOCK DOWN THE INTERNET

   Today the behavior of Gross Terry was truly reprehensible.  She had this expert jackass on who slowly spun a story of how we must lock down the internet even going so far as to suggest a license for anyone who wants to get on the internet.  It was very, very clever.  Lawyers are now supposed to help everyone, what a joke!, by regulating the internet!  Who needs these lawyers anyway, no one I know!


    Lock down the internet so it can be just like cable tv, a stinking marketplace with nothing but deception, hustling and top down tyranny.  No wonder Gross Terry and the whole class of political parasites sucking on the neck of the empire love this idea!  Jobs for the fools that were on Wall Street.  Right Terri?

No passion for freedom in this country was noted in the NPR interview except the idiotic idea that we have a free country and don't need privacy!   Yes you need a degree in law or thirty years reporting lies and distortions to understand that one!  Only those foreign lands with terrible governments might need privacy the lawyerly jackass opined.  Terri couldn't agree quickly enough.

SAME INTERVIEW WITH BRILLIANT IMPERIALIST BLUNDER EXPERT, TERRI GOES MILITARY ADVISOR

Geez, Louise, I think I'll sneeze!  Terri the Gross seems to be trying to be a coconspirator in the military planning in Afghanistan!  What about this?  What about that!

There are so many opportunities for Terri to ask a question that leads in a progressive direction, but she never takes that opportunity.  {insert colonic emission sound}

A MICROANALYSIS OF IMPERIAL BLUNDERS

On January 27th this year of the empire 2010

Terri Gross, {whom I affectionately refer to as Gross Terri, with a sound of emitting flatulence immediately following} is hosting a brilliant expert on the blunders of the stinking empire in Iraq. (insert emission sound here)


It is so enlightening to listen as this clear thinking expert reviews the catastrophes wrought by the imperialist intervention in Iraq.  Let us never forget that NPR shamelessly promoted this war and defends it to this day.



Also, what about  NPR doing a microanalysis of the scoundrels screwing up this country too?  NPR has never done anything like look at who is behind socially engineered catastrophes in America.  Shameless and blind!

NPR MOVES FROM DENYING US AND UK INTERVENTION IN IRAN TO PROMOTING IT

We are talking with the dude who wants to openly support regime change in Iraq the NPR host should say.  But what about BBC and NPR, the semiofficial organs of the Anglo-American empire have to say about previously denying such intervention.


What is the real motive of this guest.  Is it to BUILD public opinion about American interference in Iran since it has already been going on?  Very probably.

Of course, Robert Kagan is now discussing American interference in the internal affairs of other nations as an accepted norm!  This man is a true servant of the empire!  {Reward him with Top Security clearances!  Now he can tell us there is a secret we don't know that means we have to accept his stupid violent message, support and pay for something that is obviously wrong, stupid and evil! Oops!  There I go again!}



Then what about Kagan's  horrible concern that an Israeli attack would be be wrong only because it is unlikely to be a success! This guy is a partisan and a representative of imperialist and  the US Zionist polity. NPR promotes this kind of reactionary rubbish all the time.  It is the semi-official organ of US government-think and the US based Zionist consensus.


It is almost hilarious how the nuclear weapon issue weaves in and out of this sales pitch for imperialist intervention.  It obviously has little or nothing to do with it.

NPR PROMOTES AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN

I hate having to do this but now NPR has some guy one who is probably a lifelong Zionist, member of the JDL or a  National Security Insider.  Pandering to the national whims of Israel, no other nation is treated like this on NPR, NPR is promoting war even as this guest says he is not.


NPR really sucks!  Shameless militarism with a soft touch.


I am so touched that the stinking NPR host suggests a "coalition of the willing" to attack Iran!  Incredible.  What an orifice of the Pentagon!  Even the guest backs off from that suggestion, after all, even if that is the logical next step for imperialism we are not supposed to say it so plainly yet.

It is sabre rattling as one caller suggests.  NPR rattling the sabre again.  It really stinks.
He exposed them so well!  Of course the clueless NPR imperialists are happy to remind the caller, don't see what is right in front of you.

TIRED OF THE TEMPLE GRANDIN "EAT MEAT" CAMPAIGN

  Temple Grandin is an amazing person and she has a lot to teach us about whaever was and remains wrong with her, if anything.  Yet the whole thing ends up at the slaughterhouse and her life story ends up being a very sophisticated version of the phrase you see on billboards in farming country,
"BEEF. IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER".


I write this as one of the more beef dependent people on earth, at least until a few years ago.  

The billboards are usually not very high tech and the message is blunt, honest and straightforward.  Grandin, on the other hand, almost makes the slaughter of cattle into a sacred rite.

Why has NPR never asked her or any other guest what they are being paid per year and over decades by the industries and financial interests they represent?  Why, never?

Isn't it obvious.  NPR, the soft sell panderers to this or that industry but never the working people of the United States or any other nation unless... but that is for a later entry.
