Pravda: Iran, perceiving threat from West, willing to attack on U.S. soil, U.S. intelligence report finds

If this is the propaganda the administration is catapulting now, just imagine what things will be like in October! Surprise!

NOTE Where's the claim that the Occupiers are in favor of sharia law? I can hardly wait. Bring on the drones for the two-fer!

Heard this report tonight, and, as usual, no real reporting

from the MCMers (members of the Mainstream Corporate Media). Just going along to get along.

Question: When was the last time Iran actually invaded another nation in an act of war? IIRC, it's been at least one century, perhaps more.

US? Heh....

Watching tonight's

NBC Nightly News broadcast, it's clear to me the powers that be, whomever they are, are pushing for war for Iran. The piece, reported by Andrea Mitchell and didn't feature or quote one government official but some "national security expert", looked like something you'd see on Fox News. It included an unsourced claim that Iran hatched a plot to blow up the Israeli embassy "or a synagogue" in Thailand.

It ended with a shot of some large march with lots of scary Islamic-looking people carrying signs in arabic or farsi. I'm not sure which, because it wouldn't surprise me if they used file footage from another country.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
