Ireland

                                               I deplore Hope and routinely hold Optimism, its manifestation, as UN-Dependable .   During the Early 70's (MY 70's), there was both a societal and cultural Effort to maintain an objective reality and within that Effort we often chastised others to "Keep it REAL" .  I assume my Gentle Readers are too young to "know about" Ireland's Dark Age, the Age of Catholic versus Protestant CIVIL WAR .   Here it is where Ireland's Peoples conducted themselves with SAVAGE INHUMANITY, an Inhumanity that resulted in the most HEINOUS Warfare AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN on the level of HITLERIAN ATROCITY .

                               Know this :   That WAR found its END ---grotesque difference were RESOLVED .

                                Consider ... .

"The further one goes..."

                                              I've written (somewhat) extensively on the True Nature of Islam, that it is a Religion that is fundamentally REJECTIVE* of ANY >>>Future<<< that ISN'T based upon the Teachings of Its Ancients .   Here it is where CHANGE of ANY sort is not only Blasphemic* but HERETICAL as well .   The further one is removed from Mohammed and his Teaching, the more his Teaching is DILUTED .   HERE there is Islamic FEAR that this Dilution will somehow INVIGORATE >>>Reluctance<<< by 'jus reg-lar' Muslims to adhere to "The Way of the Ancients" thereby causing a diminishment (diminution) of Devotion which would then result in a WEAKENING of not only Iran's Power but that of Islam globally .

                          Oddly, there is an Ancient Chinese phrase that can be applied at this Here : "The further one goes, the less one knows" .  (Lao Tzu)

"Where's the BEEF ?"

                                               Somewhat rampant speculation abounds .   `Reg-lar` Folks and SUPER-Brains   have surmised that trump and his >figured< that Victory + Success could be accomplished with the blinding rapidity of the "Six Day War" .   Conjecture has it that trump and his figured that the {bloodthirsty} decapitation of the Ruling Heads of Iran would be seen as similar to the WWII >Liberation< of war-torn and Suffering ridden towns and villages and that this Liberation would then manifest politically as a "take-over" of existing Authority .   What various embedded Journalists have reported is that the Iranian Republican Guard (IRG), numbered in the MILLION, have NOT been Defeated in ANY Way, Shape or Form and consequently there is NO >Public< opposition to the IRG'S tyrannically Religious Forces .

                      Let's look at this with Clear Eyes .   Has there EVER been an  ANTI-Government Opposition ?    I'm hard-pressed to answer, 'Yes, there has' .   Keep in mind that the Iranian Peoples "took it to the streets" because they were STARVING .  They did not Protest their Religion but DID Protest those-that-governed and who used Religion to foundation BRUTAL Fascism .

                       Here's the WORST --->  The Iranians DO NOT HAVE A LEADER, a most stark and bitter Truth .

"It ain't over 'til its over..."

                                                Trump has proclaimed that HIS War is "Over" when HE says {sez} it is .   His ARROGANCE is UNTOLD {but NOT untellable} .  Information is reaching "the light of day" that Iran's Offense is partly positioned well below ground and therefore un-accessible to even the advanced "Bunker Buster" bombs which previously targeted the mountainous locations of nuclear materials .  Technically,  Iran doesn't have to manufacture   ANY   new missiles or   drones   because its 'stockpile' is V-A-S-T .   With regard to 'targeting' and 'targets' it's become QUALITY not QUANTITY .   In this, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and as a result, has effectively exerted a "strangle-hold" on ALL global shipping , EXCEPT ITS OWN .   China is still getting its oil, and one can only shake one's head in grotesque bewilderment .

Imbecilica*

                                               Pro Writers within the media broadcast spectrum have expressed sardonic bewilderment of trump's total and complete LACK of an 'exit strategy' that would END America's ariel assault on what once was The Persian Empire .   These same pundits have already noted the historical fact pattern that renders Destruction-by-Air as a total and complete FAILURE to excise existing governmental authority and supplant it with a governmental system "friendlier" to the Aggressors socio-political Determinations .   In 'street' 'parlance' this :   `Ain't-gonna be no "Regime Change" because ya can't KILL a Religion` [and subsequently, the government Rule, Direction and Authority it dictates .  

The SECOND Dark Age

                                      The source of Iranian Hatred toward America and the West in general is Fear .

Hatred is NOT an Instinct but Fear IS .   Islam FEARS its own demise as a result of Western Influence that registers in Societal and Cultural experience .   For Americans who are ignorant of Islam and its tenets, hearing "DEATH TO AMERICA" is Tortuous .   Will we ever hear, "Live and let live" from mainstream Iranians ?   I think it is unlikely .   

                     The Iranian Mil has been pounded into Oblivion but NOT its Religion .   By Definition, Islam CANNOT be Destroyed as it is a MENTAL CONSTRUCT as are all Religions .   

                     We have entered the Second Dark Ages .

Cooked Goose

                                         You can see it rite* ?    Trump declared that the Iranian Government is VIOLENTLY CORRUPT in that even SUBSISTENCE Needs are LARGELY IGNORED by the Government and that Religious Authority is the ONLY Authority required to Rule and if the Peoples don't like it they can eat shit and die .   I argue that trump and his rule with that SAME VIOLENT PATHOS that also seeks to CRUSH ---> ANY<--- Opposition in ALL its forms thereby establishing Oppression as the RIGHTEOUS Conduct of actionable Patriotism .    If we use trump's "rendering" and apply it to Observed Behavior we can determine that trump's >>>RULE<<< MUST-BE decapitated as well .   Kill the Brain Destroy the Body ---------"what's good for the goose is good for the gander" .
