It might have looked like a touchdown in 1925, instead, with both arms raised, Benito Mussolini (Il Duce) proclaimed that he was the tyrant of Italy. In that same year Reza Shah Pahlavei claimed he was the King of Persia. A decade later, after Mussolini's buddy Hitler came to power in Germany, Reza Shah ran to the top of a Tehran minaret, where he shouted to the world, "Sieg Heil".  It must have been a case of vertigo, because on the way back down the prayer tower he renamed Persia, Iran.

So what if he called himself the King of Iran? The Shah still needed protection from the bully British oil barons who were sucking up the Royal black gold, yet paying little but fish and chips. Shortly before Kristallnacht, the Shah rode the Orient Express to Berlin to meet with Das Fuhrer. Known for bearing generous gifts, the Shah packed some heavy-duty bribery when he climbed aboard: an ancient Weegie Board once used by Nebuchadnezzar; a Persian rug of low mileage flown by Ali Baba, and a 10 karat knock-off of the Ark of the Covenant.

After receiving the Shah's booty, Hitler consulted Nazi oracle Heinrich the Fowler better known as Heinrich Himmler. This hocus pocus dude not only convinced his boss that Iranians were the original Aryans, but that Persia---er Iran was the tap root to Hitler's own Germanic beginnings. Stoking the coals, Reza Shah fed Hitler more genealogical delusions, suggesting that way back in the Dark Ages a traveling Persian rug salesmen by the name of Sad-dam was reported lost in the Black Forest.

Eventually Sad-dam was befriended by a German Goldie-lock and a thousand years later the Sad-Lock union resulted in the huge blonde bears of the Waffen-SS. The Shah's last suggestion was that the word Aryan itself is synonymous to Iran, and the Indo-Iranian swastika used by the Nazis, had always meant good luck and good fortune for the Persians.

From these long lost tidbits of history it's painfully obvious why the Israeli Zionist of today viscously, insanely and unconditionally hate Iran.  Israeli Zionists still blame Iranians for kissing up to Hitler's Third Reich, and still hold them partly responsible for the Holocaust. Read about one of the Zionist's henchmen/women here.

But how far back does this Zionist revenge for their forefathers go? When it comes to the Holocaust, nobody denies it was devastating. But to hold modern day Iran responsible for that unspeakable horror and bomb the crap out of its innocent people, who were not even born or involved in the long-ago insanity - now that's downright Nazi like. Will a pound of today's burning Iranian flesh equal a pound of emaciated Jewish flesh that was cremated over 60 years ago? The Bible says 'an eye for an eye', but it also suggests that we 'turn the other cheek'.

Look closer, and see that the sword held over Iran these days has two edges. Besides the Zionist who cry out for revenge, the U.S. is demanding more oil. Ayatollah Khomeini had it right when he wrote to the Iranian people: Pray as much as you like; it is your oil the Americans are after. That is the reason the puppet governments they have installed prevent us from industrializing, and instead, establish only assembly plants and industry that is dependent on the outside world.

Since the invasion of Iraq 'we the people' should know that it was, always and forevermore for the oil. As Khomeini noted, nothing else matters to our government as long as the puppets are ruling in favor of Big Oil, because that's the economy.  Joel Grey sang, 'money-money-money makes the world go round'. But he was only half right, and should have added, 'oily-oily-oil is the slick on the wheels, and the slime on our palms, and the sheen from the grease on the war machines'.

Face it pal, without the crude we're screwed. We can't schedule a return to the moon (that's if we ever went there in the first place). We're through with that world-wide eminent domain scam and Manifest Destiny, too.  As far as 'we the people' go, without oil we'll be lucky to manifest ourselves a soup line, hunt rabbits with the coyotes or scratch dirt with the chickens.

It's for the aforementioned reasons that our Secretary of State, Condi Rice, accused Iran of 'lying' about the aim of its nuclear program. Ms. Rice's exact words were, "There's no doubt Tehran wants the capability to produce nuclear weapons and has deceived the U.N.'s atomic watchdog about its intentions". Catch W's little Black hood fibbing about Iran here.

Ever hear the old saying, lie to me once shame on you, lie to me twice then shame on all of us? Hasn't the fickle finger of this Republican administration been flipped in our face before? Didn't Colin Powell lie to 'we the people' of the entire world when he went to the U.N. and proclaimed that Saddam Hussein was hiding W.M.D.? Wasn't Dick Cheney stretching it when he said if we didn't invade Iraq there would be a big mushroom cloud over Kansas? Why don't these people just tell the damned truth - it's about the oil, stupid!

Listen folks, the Neocons' 'instill fear in the masses' rant is beyond worn out. Those dog-eared pages have been flapped in everybody's face so much, there's barely enough left to catch a caged parakeet's poop. It's time 'we the people' found a new script doctor, somebody who'll do an 'instill confidence' rewrite. The shaming finger needs to point to where the real liars really lie.

Why should anyone with half a brain take as gospel what the political machine and the media say about Iran's nuclear intentions? Why not try to understand the Iranians for what they are: an Eastern, mystical culture that refuses to be absorbed into a mindless imitation of the West? Are 'we the people' so caught up examining each other's fleas that we cannot understand a people who lost their one chance of a stable democratic government? It was during Operation Ajax that our CIA and their dark overlords overthrew Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Musaddiq. Learn more here 

Is nuking Iran the only option our spineless officials are willing to consider? What else can be expected from Bush, Clinton, Edwards, Giuliani, McCain, et al? I'd say that no matter what their color, creed, gender or party affiliation, everyone of those political hacks have to deal with three huge gorillas riding their backs - Corporate Overlords, the Military Industrial's Complex and the Zionists. When the only hope of a war-free oil-independent U.S.A. depends on the successors of Stalin and Mao to keep the Neocons from going ballistic on Iran, then 'we the people' are wedged between that same rock and hard place as Reza Shah Pahlavei was 70 years ago - only this time we've got no booty to trade.
