Signs Of The Times
The Christian evangelist shows on television have begun presenting documentaries detailing the horrors of Islamic aggression and the ultimate aims of the muslims to kill us and force any survivors into Islam, and they’re getting very outspoken about it.
They’re all comparing the current rise of Iran and it’s neighboring states to the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany. There’s an increasing number of television interviews with Holocaust survivors, Jewish politicians and American WW II survivors who are also making this direct comparison. There’s increasing talk of prophecies and “End Days”.
Iran sincerely believes in and is energetically and deliberately working to bring about the “End Days”.
There is increasing talk of reinstating the military draft.
We are building an enormous embassy in Iraq at a cost of about a billion dollars.
We now have at least 4 huge “permanent” military bases in Iraq the size of small towns with multiple bus routes and miniature golf courses, and a current total of 55 bases.
George Bush is saying that if Iraqs oil stopped flowing, the price could rise to $300 – $400 a barrel. A HUGE exaggeration! Scare tactics. It did stop flowing for some time during the invasion period and the price never rose. Iraq is a minor producer and is producing less now than before anyway.
The vast majority of Iraqi insurgents are Iraqis. Not foreign terrorists. This is a civil war and it has been. This is why we can’t win there unless we kill half the civilians.
The Iraq government is making deals with Syria now and has reestablished full diplomatic ties. Syria is a terrorist nation, allied with Iran. I think the Iraqi leadership is planning on joining them against us. Why not? It’s safer for them, or so it looks.
There have been major new oil field discoveries very recently in Iraq including the autonomous Kurdish area. The Kurds and the Shiites are divided over who controls what oil. Iraq may yet be broken into states.
Very possibly, the real reason terrorist attacks in the US and Europe have died out to a whisper is due more to the terrorists holding off than to their being stopped. Certainly, the Iranians have by now emplaced thousands of them here and all over Europe, as well as Al Qaeda and God knows what other groups. It’s become clear that they’re currently investing most of their attention and resources into their home areas, to wrest control and power away from whoever holds it besides them. Our allied military forces are a big part of holding them at bay and keeping the smaller fry occupied.
In the meantime, the Iranians and other nations with them are girding for a major war against the West. Clearly the Iranians are the leaders in this and they will make the first move if we don’t move soon against them. They’re going all-out to produce atomic weapons and they will use them.
This is why we will reinstate the draft. It’s a little humorous that it’s a Democrat who’s calling for this, after all the rhetoric against Democrats. Just proves that politics is mostly hot air and I fully expect the GOP to vote for it. We need it.
I think our bases in Iraq will stay regardless of what the government there does. We’ve had Guantanamo Base in Cuba since before Castro. He knows better than to try to push us out. Certainly we have gotten written permission from the Iraqi government to have these bases. They’re going to be vital in suppressing Iran and Syria and I don’t see us leaving them.
The Wind of War is blowing. For those who can, now might be a good time to start preparing.

Interesting that you conflate nazism and Islam (in the post and in the title of your site!).
Here’s a little something to chew on:
Whether we like it or not, if the muslim problem in Europe is to be solved it will have to be solved by a new Hitler (this is a reference to authoritarian dictatorial type ruler/govt, NOT genocide mind you…). This is inescapable. The muslim problem in Europe simply cannot be solved by weak-kneed soft-bellied milktoast liberal democracy. It cannot and will not. I believe that Helmut Kohl (hardly a nazi) was quoted in a German newspaper a few years back (causing a firestorm) saying that The only way to solve the Turkish problem in Germany is authoritarian government, democracy simply cannot fix the problem… [note: i am not "endorsing" authoritarianism, i dont like it any more than the next guy, i am merely stating the fact]
The hysteria that Iran is a “New Hitler” or whatever (upon what basis? that they dislike Jews too? Only in a judeocentric worldview can Ahmadinejad be “a new Hitler”) has got me thinking. We have to earnestly ask ourselves, what are fighting for? If our civilizational arch-enemy & archetype of evil-and-all-things-bad is Hitler and the nazis, ergo aggressive nationalism is the ultimate evil, then what ARE we fighting for? Ostensibly we are fighting to save Europe, to save the NATIONS and peoples of Europe from being swept away, but how is this possible if Nationalism is considered the ultimate evil?

Lenny, you happen to be right, to a point. Here in the US, I’ve been watching as my country slowly and inexorably moves toward less and less freedom and more and more government rule. Laws have vastly multiplied and penalties and enforcement have greatly increased. Some of this is good, some bad.
The problem is that much of this is enacted by corporations. Both Europe and the US are primarily dominated and controlled by corporations, which are far more concerned about their stock values and profit margins than about looming wars and ecological disasters. From the corporate point of view, a war is a chance to make huge profits. The same for natural disasters.
Look at England and how the BBC is government owned and spouts nothing but twisted propaganda? It used to be a respected and respectable news source. Europe, like the US, is run by the rich. Only if the muslims start to seriously damage profits will our nations go on the attack in earnest.
Iran is in fact the New Nazi Germany. It’s not the Jews, it’s all of us. Europe is more directly in harms way but the Iranians aim to control the Mid-East first and then Europe and then the United States. How do I know? Ahmadinejad HAS REPEATEDLY SAID SO! His focus now is on the Jews because he has to win out over them before he can move on to Europe, and we all know this. This is why Europe is backing off from the Jews. The craven bastards hope Israel will handle it alone and save the rest of them without them having to fight.
Naziism wasn’t nationalism. It was fanaticism. Warmongering. Hatemongering. Nationalism is just putting your own country first, it isn’t going out and trying to take everyone elses.
Nationalism is what Europe trashed with Multiculturalism (easy word to remember, rhymes with ‘moron’) and nationalism is what Europe needs to gain back. A trade pact is one thing, opening the borders to hordes of scum to be toilet cleaners is another. Even the rich are figuring out now that it doesn’t work.
England already has an authoritarian government, considering the way it acts toward rivals like the BNP. The problem is that it’s a CORRUPT government that IS NOT nationalist as it should be.
Greater government authority is pointless unless it’s directed at keeping the people free instead of putting a foot on their necks.

Rastaman, I think you’ve really hit the nail on the head; especially in that last paragraph.
The government here in the UK has become more and more authoritarian over the past few years and is continuing to do so at a rapid pace. But the problem is that just as fast as it is enforcing new laws which effectively diminish our right to freedom of speech, it is at the same time decreasing in nationalism just as fast, ie: creating laws that hinder the indiginous white population the right to critisise any religious ideas (Islamic of course) and yet still allowing Islamic crusaders to march through London holding up pickets and chanting: “behead the Infedels” and “jihad is our way, your 9/11 is on its way…”.
And a recent happening as a perfect example (which I think you mentioned in a previous post) about the BNP being completely aquitted of all inciting racial hatred charges, for the second time eunanimously by the jury. And as an admitted direct result of this verdict, the British government have declared that they will shortly bring in a new legislation which bans any harsh critisism of religions; although I am pretty sure that Muslims talking of Jewish erradication, and beheading Infidels and Christians it doesn’t count but when it applies to any non-muslim even slightly critising Islam….well lets just say that I would probably get locked up for posting this message on this Blog!
So it seems as though our freedoms, which our ancestors had died for in the past, are being butchered with a grain of salt, just so we can hand more freedom and power to ethnics, immigrants, and Islamists alike on the plate of appeasement. And what for? For our governments political agendas and six figure salarys.
It really is a sad situation.

Dazzerman UK, do you think that a democratic solution is possible? (i.e., the BNP taking control of the UK government by winning the majority of seats in parilament)?
Rastaman- I think you are overreacting to Iran. I dont think he has ever called for the takeover of Europe. (by all means show me where he has if i am wong.) The issue with Israel/Palestine is one that has been fought over for thousands of years, and since muslim rule over that desirous coveted ‘holy land’ was removed by force in 1948 (first time since what, 1300? when the last crusader state fell), and since the non-muslim “occupying force” has humiliated muslims for the past 60yrs, they are understandably sore, and want that land for themselves again. And hey, if you ask me I think Christians have just as much if not more claim to that land as Jews or moslems anyway. Really I think the only solution is to make it an international free state, not a moslem jewish OR christian state. Otherwiese things will never change.
I agree with your comments on corporations. They are inherently anti-nationalist, one might say they are something of a fifth column inside europe’s gates. With regard your comments on nationalism and nazism– today in Europe essentially any serious healthy nationalism is immediately painted with the wide brush of “nazism”, “fascism” and other labels and is declared ipso facto irredemptively evil (since ‘45 this has been the case, so i agree the nazis did irrevocable damage by ruining the reputation of healthy nationalism, although if we really want to blame someone blame the pointless, needless WWI, and the idiots who decided to go to war for nothing. It was fought for no reason and put europe on the fast track to death…). Considering that any form of nationalism is now ‘evil’, what exactly is the basis for Europe’s opposition to Islam? The only opposition that isnt condemned as being capital-e Evil, is this sort of cowardly weak-kneed, corporatist, bound-to-fail false-opposition, which might make a small stand here or there– but who cares if you make a few tactical stands on a few small hills, if you are sounding the full retreat on 90% of the battlefield? [and any senior commander calling for counter-offensive is ordered before the firing squad?]
I guess what i’m saying is that democracy(democrazy?) cannot solve our problem. But I dont see any great prospect for salvation by any other means either… In theory the U.S. could take over militarily and sort things out (they certainly have the military prowess to do so), but the U.S. is just as much under that sort of perfidious corporatist anti-nationalist domination as Europe.
