Obnoxious We Know - But Once Again, We Told You So

In the context of this breaking story out of Raw.....

We made a few flip calls late last year at SMC starting with the our announcement of the kickoff of a psychological warfare campaign waged by the Bush Administration against the U.S. population. We followed that up by nailing the date for the hit on Iran and listing some of the key pretexting characters, claims, and antics that would comprise the choreographed escalation to justifiable war with Iran. So far we are looking pretty darn good for go.


Below are excerpts from 2 of those previous SMC posts of great modesty:


Wednesday, Dec 14, 2005 First We Take Manhattan - Now We Do Iran
In my modest firm's quarterly newsletter from July 2002 we nailed the invasion of Iraq and got the date right by a month. Now we are confidently projecting the commencement of a full-scale airwar on Iran in Q2 of 2006.

Pundits claiming U.S. forces are stretched to their limits by present engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq and are in no position to venture into Persia have utterly missed the mark and most probably (certainly so - if they work for major media) are unwitting bit players in the obfuscation process mediated by coordinated information operations.

Below the media radar, low intensity war with Iran is already well underway setting the operational stage for the pending grand incursion. The Afghanistan flank appears to be primed for significant troop ( including Swedes) inflows Q1 2006 in preparation for the Iranian campaign. Iran has finally won their war against Iraq and we can't have that now, can we? Of course that would never be reason enough for what is on the horizon so for a most excellent primer on Grand Games of past about to come full circle, read Rudyard Kipling's Kim.

And while you're at it, have a soothing listen to the Real Politik classic hit by the Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun.


Friday, Dec 16, 2005 Hark The Herald Angels Singing
When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed the Holocaust was much ado about nada we saw the jump start of the major media campaign leg of the information operation underway to mould western eater opinion to support the full-scale air campaign against Iran next year. Immediately, choreographed and on cue, the big hitters came out with their synchronized talking points on Fox News like Ester Williams clones.

Kissinger (Unfortunately this link is now dead) let us know that any nation that talks crazy like that and has...er, wants, nuclear weapons can't be left unattended to. On another top venue at Fox, Bill O'Reilly's The Factor , Donny 'Dentures' Rumsfeld informed us later the same day that all would have gone according to plan in Messy-potamia if only the subversive Iranians hadn't meddled with the Iraqi Shia.

Now it should be noted that Donny never appears on The Factor despite incessant requests from Bill in the past so obviously something grandiose is in the wings. To get both carpet bombing Henry and the gesticulating pirate's skull on the same day was quite the slam dunk. To have President Bush batting for the tabula rasa of repentance as he fessed up on his WMD mistake in the same news cycle (faux-mistake as anyone in any intel commmunity will tell you), well that's just sorta overkill in confirming that a new and exciting blitz is on.

Of course the media campaign for creating a conducive opinion environment is just one part of the prep work on our way to slamming Iran from the skies although it still remains the single most important measure next to John Bolton working his magic on the United Nations. Had Bolton's nomination gone through faster we might have seen the leveling of Iran occurring much sooner. But June next year will do just fine too.

But for now, keep your ears tuned for soundbites from pundits and politicos incessantly expounding in chorus on how we can't have a wacko state like Iran possess nuclear technology that can be used to build a nuclear fire cracker. It's gonna be everywhere you care to prick up your ears.
