Here’s the script. A is the monster. B and C along with D are the good children doing all they can, risking life and limb, to save the world from this monster. The scriptwriters have used all their cunning to brainwash the audience to want the good children to succeed in their noble task of killing the monster. Mass hysteria is built up. There is tension in the air and suspense too. And when in the end ‘good’ triumphs over ‘evil,’ as in every movie, the entire audience heave a sigh of relief and approve the good deeds of their celluloid heroes.

The only thing is that this not a movie. This is real life. A is Iran. B, C and D are the US, Israel and the EU cartel. The scriptwriters are the ‘embedded journalists’ in the Western media. With ‘journalists’ like these, blood thirsty rogue nations and war criminals in a cocktail like that, you have an ideal recipe for disaster — disaster for non-complying non-white states. Together they are gunning for Iran the same way they went after Iraq.

And like in Iraq’s case the story begins in the media, with the same old fibs, as any discerning reader or viewer will notice when reading or listening to the constant refrain that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad had threatened to ‘wipe Israel off the world map.’ Never mind the fact that on more occasions than one Iran had denied their leader had ever made such a remark in the context that it’s being circulated in the world media and also in the local media, as made out in the article, "Choice: An Iranian bomb or bombing Iran" in The Morning Leader of February 4, 2009.

Iranians have repeatedly said Ahmedinejad was only quoting Ayatollah Khomeini when he (Ahmedinejad) was speaking to a group of Palestinians urging them not to give up hope and that the occupation of Palestine will also end in the same way the Shah’s rule in Iran had ended. What Imam Khomeini had actually said then was ‘this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the pages of time.’ Like the occupation of other regimes had ended.

Both Imam Khomeini and Ahmedinejad had spoken in Farsi and the translation of these words into English has been twisted out of context to fit into the doctrinaire system of the West’s agenda for global domination. Remember the Plan for the New American Century (PNAC)?

What’s never mentioned in what’s called the mainstream media is that Israel has over 200 nuclear weapons all ready to blast off at the press of a button. Iran doesn’t have even one. So what makes Iran the enemy of civilisation and all that? Is it not possible that Israel is the real enemy? Is it not possible that Iran might be seeking a nuclear bomb as a deterrent to Israel’s huge arsenal? Hush!

Such talk doesn’t enter into the main stream media ….it’s just not permissible discussion. Not for those ‘embedded journalists’ who report from the Western side of the fence. It’s about time somebody from ‘our’ side of the fence reports from a Third World perspective.

But to attack Iran they have to brainwash governments and their peoples’ to believe that Iran is indeed a threat to world peace. So they ‘monsterise’ Iran to a point where the whole world, especially the Americans, are programmed to believe the crap the media dishes out as ‘news.’ Hence the turbo charged propaganda line ‘Israel must be wiped off the map.’

Connect this to Iran’s nuclear programme for peaceful purposes and you have a ready mix of juicy propaganda to fool the world that’s already fed heavily on a regular diet of holocaust stories. All you need is Goliath to play the role of David. And Israel is doing that just fine.

However, there is one glitch in the script. And that’s Palestine. Nobody ever mentions that ‘Palestine was wiped off the world map.’ Neither do they name the culprits who did the foul deed. That doesn’t come within the realms of permissible discussion either.

Palestinians are paying a heavy price for the crimes of the people who now have the gumption to call themselves the ‘civilised world’ without an iota of shame.

Iran has not invaded any country in modern history. Israel, the US and many member nations of the EU cartel have done just that, spilling the blood of innocents in one slaughter after another. Israel has invaded all its neighbours. And yet we are made to believe they are the good guys in the movie and Iran is the monster. In actual fact the heroes are the villains. They are the enemy. The old phrase ‘they who tell the tales control the world’ holds true.

Unfortunately for the Palestinians and the Iraqis and the Afghans the movie hasn’t ended yet. Sadly for them there’s going to be more bloodshed, more slaughters, cries of anguish and many tears before the scriptwriters bring on the words ‘The End.’
