“And there are other voices. They’re the voices of other interest groups. They’re the voices of arms merchants, of war contractors, of people who just make money off of war. They don’t care where the war is or who it hurts. They just want to make money and if they can push the U.S. into spawning another war they’ll do it.” — U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
Many Americans and Europeans are tired of invasion, hostile takeovers, and violence. They’re tired of draining precious resources into war that only benefit the war contractors, stockholders, and the politicians seeking political gain from it all.
While in the meantime, there is total silence in America about those who face a different kind of war every day. Extreme unemployment, increasing college tuition, and wounds of veterans are the price that we pay for weak leadership.
Sanctions against Iran is a sure way to find another war. Iran is left with no choice but war, while Congress makes threats with the message of war. Diplomacy is a method that Congress has long forgotten about. War is always inevitable because war is profitable. It is rewarding for the few.
Let’s take a page out of history that was left out of the history books. In America we are taught in the classrooms that the Japanese were the ones that started World War II. However, the truth is far more complicated than this. The truth has been hidden from the American public, and left out of the textbooks that children read.
But, why did Japan attack America? Was the U.S. administration so innocent after all?
From the notes of a conservative, Patrick J. Buchanan:
Of all the days that will “live in infamy” in American history, two stand out: Sept. 11, 2001, and Dec. 7, 1941.
When France capitulated in June 1940, Japan moved into northern French Indochina. And though the United States had no interest there, we imposed an embargo on steel and scrap metal. After Hitler invaded Russia in June 1941, Japan moved into southern Indochina. FDR ordered all Japanese assets frozen.
But FDR did not want to cut off oil. As he told his Cabinet on July 18, an embargo meant war, for that would force oil-starved Japan to seize the oil fields of the Dutch East Indies. But a State Department lawyer named Dean Acheson drew up the sanctions in such a way as to block any Japanese purchases of U.S. oil. By the time FDR found out, in September, he could not back down.
Facing a choice between death of the empire or fighting for its life, Japan decided to seize the oil fields of the Indies. And the only force capable of interfering was the U.S. fleet that FDR had conveniently moved from San Diego out to Honolulu.
And so Japan attacked.
There is a small difference between Japan and Iran, yet the effect is just as devastating. With Japan, the embargo prevented it from having oil. With Iran, it is the opposite. Iran is prevented from selling the oil. The sanctions are making this possible. Trends researcher Gerald Celente gave clear analysis in a recent video.
And other voices leave Iran fighting for its life.
