Press TV: US, West Desperate for “Decency”

US, West desperate for ‘decency’

By Gordon Duff and Press TV

“The real subject here is “decency.” Every philosophy, every major religion, every international organization feels they serve the needs of decency. The United Nations protects the interests of the wealthy and powerful, terrorist groups extract revenge for abuses against the poor and downtrodden, drone attacks eliminate “anti-social” elements, killing two militants out of every hundred civilians that die.”

Related Interviews:
During the US presidential debates, both candidates talked about the suffering of the Syrian people and how we were going to supply weapons to make things better, Obama with “small arms” and Romney promising “heavy weapons,” perhaps turning a hundred B-52 8 engine bombers over to the rebels or giving them a few aircraft carriers or nuclear submarines.

Syria, we were told, had to have a new government though no international authority has approved such a move and no nation, under international law, can impose its will on another without itself becoming an aggressor nation, a war criminal in a very real sense.

Then the talk shifted to Iran. The only consideration given was complying with the wish of Israel to see Iran economically destroyed even if millions starve, their economy is destroyed, they are denied vital medicines, even if all their population centers are subjected to nuclear bombardment.

When we’re told “Nothing is off the table,” that is clear, a “shock and awe” nuclear attack on Iran not only isn’t ruled out but is almost incessantly spoken of by Israel.

After all, Iran has to be wiped off the face of the map so Israel, a nation which does have nuclear weapons and other “weapons of mass destruction” and uses them continually, can continue to talk of the “Samson Option.”

This is official policy of Israel, one every head of state knows well. If Israel feels threatened, all European cities are within range of Israeli missiles.

We are told all major US cities are also in rage of the new ICBM’s India has built, each with 10 nuclear warheads, a dozen of which have been delivered to Israel, none have any purpose other than to be used against North America.

Thus, though Israel and Western Europe and Israel and North America are “allies” of a sort. That friendship is based on implied violence and potential mass murder.

Israel, a nation that prides itself for being the “junk yard dog” of the world feels its strength lies in convincing other nations that the basis of its foreign policy is piracy, pre-emptive strikes, even at friends, and, if threatened, mass suicide.

Anyone who believes that every major power doesn’t have part of their nuclear strategic arsenal targeted on Israel is delusional, and we are talking, not only the United States, but Britain, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and even Japan.

North Korea and Israel have agreements and are surprisingly close friends. No hostile acts will ever pass between them.

The real subject here is “decency.” Every philosophy, every major religion, every international organization feels they serve the needs of decency. The United Nations protects the interests of the wealthy and powerful, terrorist groups extract revenge for abuses against the poor and downtrodden, drone attacks eliminate “anti-social” elements, killing two militants out of every hundred civilians that die.

All is meant to defend decency; Palestinians are protected in Gaza, kept from harming themselves by periodic reminders, napalm, cluster bombs, barbed wire, imprisonment, locked away so they are safe from harm. This is how we now describe decency.

This week, America, curiously close to a national election, is engaging in a frenzy of “decency” for its own people. No expense is spared, credit for “decent acts” is appropriately heaped upon the bureaucracies responsible and perhaps this really is something right and good.

The problem is the hypocrisy and inconsistency. A parallel bureaucracy to the one delivering fresh drinking water, saving people from raging floods with helicopters, distributing food, repairing power lines, that parallel bureaucracy has imprisoned 15 million Americans.

Television shows tell Americans this nation within a nation is made up of degenerate criminals, a ravaging hoard ready to descend upon humanity unless locked away in dark and filthy prison cells where the weak are raped daily, where all are malnourished and abused.

America’s prisons are among the most brutal on earth.
We talked about “parallel bureaucracy.” We should talk about Afghanistan and “drones.” Sometimes, when President Obama slips into the occasional lucid moment, he speaks of us remaining at war so long that we forget the reasons we are there.
He always returns to the iconic events of 9/11, peddling the carefully contrived mythology left him by his sociopathic predecessor.

Colonel Eugene Khrushchev would tell him why America is in Afghanistan. America is there because top members of America’s government produce 98% of the world’s heroin in Afghanistan.

That heroin, combined with other drugs, methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, “oxy” and others are why so many Americans are in prison or jail, on parole or probation, or in “rehab” or dead of overdoses.

Their purpose in life is to serve their nation and the business of that nation which is to not just steal oil but to look for nations to invade.

America, or at least its government, is the world’s largest drug gang. A circuitous industry of intelligence and military, of border guards that look the other way, of police who get a share, of government officials at every level who get “a taste,” drugs and drug money is as American as a burning a Koran or a defiled corpse.

It is all about decency. Decency is for election years. Decency is for those who have power and money. Decency is rationed like water on a life raft adrift in an empty sea.Another name for decency, one used by humorists, is “random acts of kindness.” Americans have come to see humanity, see decency and kindness as a form of ironic humor, as something so rare that can be shocking and unexpected.It is as though we form governments to mitigate responsibility for inhumanity. Were ten thousand innocent victims kidnapped and killed to bolster the statistics during the Bush war on terror or was it a hundred thousand?All Americans are aware that our nation traded in innocent lives the way human trafficker’s trade in children for the sexual perverts of certain European nations.Moreover, it was the “most faithful” of America’s “Christians” that stressed the need for torture, the need for brutality and inhumanity, stressing that Jesus Christ would never judge them for their sins because so many millions proved themselves to be monstrous and inhuman that the “gates of heaven” could be overwhelmed.

Good became bad, god became Satan, love and forgiveness became torture and murder and religion as it had been so aptly expressed in Europe’s dark ages returned to its roots.

This is why we cherish the concept of decency, the simplicity of it, the scale of it, how it can apply to a single person or a nation, to a race, to a species, maybe eventually to the planet itself.

Decency.

Forgotten?

    not being an Israeliphile is not the same as being antisemantic!

    • Nor is not wanting to be a victim of militant Judaism being anti-semite. On the contrary, those that pitch the anti-semite smear should be made to wear the TJ badge, ‘Talmudic Jew’, so the rest of us can treat them like they treat people…and so be it…by their hand.

      But the key here is not to slip into their collective guilt mentality, despite their success with the tactic. As we can never defeat militant Islam without the moderates playing the key role, nor will we be able to defeat militant Judaism/Zionist without the moderates doing the same. That hook up completely destroys their ‘them against us’ con job…and the elite Jews can no longer use the rank and file Jews as canon fodder.

      And I am not fooling around here. As a personal example, I consider the Christian Zionists as mortal a threat my security compared to anyone else on the planet. Any racial, cultural, religious overlap all goes up in smoke when you realize they don’t mind bringing on mass slaughter if they can get their buzz out of it.

      That is why I also refer to them as CJ’s, ‘Christian Jihadis’, because I think the analogy with the Muslim Jihadis is right on…and fair…by their own hand. I am not a meanie!! :-)

      • Right on. Fundamentalist Islam and fundamentalist “Christianity” are all based on the Torah, Talmud and the writings of a bunch of sick “Jews.” So we get the triple whammy……… perversions and filth from three different angles.

        Was this an accident? I’d seriously like to know……..

    Maybe great music will help in some invisible way to inspire us regarding how to turn this nightmare around. It can’t hurt.

    Oscar Peterson – Hymn To Freedom (his original composition)

    youtube.com/watch?v=9H5aCwTMHwE&feature=related

    Former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien reminisced about the display of mutual admiration that unfolded when he invited Peterson to a 2001 ceremony honoring Nelson Mandela.

    During a private meeting, Chretien recalled, the revolutionary political figure glowed upon meeting the great pianist.

    “It was very emotional,” Chretien told The Canadian Press . “They were both moved to meet each other. These were two men with humble beginnings who rose to very illustrious levels.”

    “Everything that Oscar did, the word used would be astounding. He had such great technique and agility, anything he could think of he could play.” He was classically trained, and for much of his life practiced 4-6 hours a day.

    “I don’t think anybody can listen to Oscar without being affected, and certainly being inspired.”

    “He was the kindest, gentlest, most forgiving person on the face of the earth,” said a fellow musician.

    His parents were immigrants from the West Indies; his father worked as a porter for Canadian Pacific Railway, and was an amateur musician. His sister was a highly regarded piano instructor. O.P., as his friends called him, dropped out of school after winning a major Canadian piano competition and went on to his career spanning more than 60 years.

    • duay khwaam nap theuu

      Where there is a will, there is a way…

      Peterson had arthritis since his youth, and in later years could hardly button his shirt. He had hip replacement surgery in the early 1990s. Somewhat later, in 1993, Peterson suffered a serious stroke that weakened his left side and sidelined him for two years.

      He gradually regained mobility and some control of his left hand. However, his virtuosity was never restored to the original level, and his playing after his stroke relied principally on his right hand.

      Watch and listen
      youtube.com/watch?v=5-mIHk2rM0Q&feature=related

      • Entirely in your corner on this one Duay. Talked to NHOP in Ronnie Scott’s (where he was dueting with Mulgrew Miller) after Oscar had his stroke and he said that he had really lost any significant use in his left hand (evident in later video clips) Thereafter performed with a guitarist in quartet format to broaden the harmonic sound, something he never needed before (more like a one man orchestra). Had to say that I had seen the great man ‘live’ and eventually did so at the Royal Albert Hall in London 2005. From where I was sitting I could see him come to the stage entrance in a wheelchair. He then got up and walked 40 feet unaided to the Steinway. Proud man ! Proceeded to play the thing beautifully (virtually one handed) for the best part of two hours – a truly inspirational human being.

    • You have great taste in music, Duay. Thanks.

  4. Most, almost all, Americans are decent. We are a good people, just duped by our government and press. Mostly we don’t care about politics unless it affects us directly, like high gas prices, high food costs, lack of power during an innocuous storm, etc. We have zero clue on how our government directly affects the lives of others around the world…we don’t get that info.

    We have no idea how we have been manipulated over the past 100 years. We know that our government sucks, but we don’t know how to fix it…we just do what MSM tells us to do.

    How the hell to we get out of this?

    We need real disclosure. There are people out there who are true American patriots in the know, who may still care about their country and the environment their kids/grandkids might grow up in. These are the people that need to step forward. Until and unless these people grow a set of balls, then we are screwed.

    • Paul Wellstone stepped up.

      • And *of course* was murdered for doing so.

        • heres a little something from wikibias, note the name change, it was NOT due to anti anything, but was due to the fact that people then wanted to hide their real identities to further there unrealistic cause, the results of which we see today.

          Wellstone was born in Washington D.C. to Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants, Leon and Minnie Wellstone, and raised in Arlington, Virginia. Originally, his family name was Wexelstein, but his father changed the name to Wellstone in the 1930s when he encountered virulent anti-semitism.[

          In January 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the McCain-Feingold Bill and removed restrictions on the NRA and other’s ability to campaign at election time in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission

          • “Wellstone was born in Washington D.C. to Ukrainian-Jewish immigrants, Leon and Minnie Wellstone, and raised in Arlington, Virginia. Originally, his family name was Wexelstein, but his father changed the name to Wellstone in the 1930s when he encountered virulent anti-semitism.”

            Forgotten, or left out, in the story of these times was with multiple recessions and immigrant populations living on the edge, competition about the different groups was never pretty. American oppressed Jews almost never compare theirs to anyone else’s. And when the do they bring up the 2000 years card. And left out of that was how they slaugthered each other in the early years when their was no one else around, always in pursuit of control and domination.

            Also, left out is that so many other cultures, religions did the same thing. But they do not want to share the stage, neither with victims or victimizers, as they have quite a long history with the latter, which to your typical hard core Jew is as desperate a secret as being a child molester.

            Bottom line, whatever happened to the other people…does not matter. Again this is the hard core, Talmudic Jew head trip, their KKK wing. And then their is the group that finds this repulsive, and they, of course, are hated by the Hate Jews.

  5. Long live the King! Bringing his lifelong message here-

    Question: how is this Waking UP working out for you? Keep it steady, you’re NOT alone here.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97nAvTVeR6o

    • inez are you sure that you want to endorse a pedophile who offed himself in his end, thats not to mention all the other indecent sfuff that this freak of nature perped on society and the unsuspecting

  6. Hello my Americano bros….
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7jm1WwaXs&feature=player_detailpage
    See you on the other side.

  7. Excalibur
    Yes man I do remember. Wow huh what a time, they actualy showed that they cared enough to step down.
    Thats because the poeple that were gov at the time lived and ate among the people, us the other people, so they felt that they had image (for the party or corpo ) to protect above vanity.
    Now they are protected from you by laws.
    cant have regime change with out topple …….

  8. Does anybody remember when a politician would automatically RESIGN if he was even thought to be party to ANY scandal or shady business? Even if someone in their department was at fault and this caused raised eye-brows – they would fall on their sword without a whimper.

    They ‘did the decent thing’.

    Today they are all strategically placed into the political structure by the cabal – and you would not get them out with a crowbar even if they were caught with their pants down and with their fingers full of dollars from the national till register. So much for decency.

    • I think it may be that the “bar” is a lot lower than it used to be. What passes for decent behavior now would get a person filled with buckshot in the past.

      I think the only time a politician resigns is when the options (impeachment, execution) look worse. We weren’t always so overwhelmed with zionist-sponsored depravity, so the bad guys would be more obvious in years past.

  9. Everything is reversed for the cabal like in supermans bizaro world. Insane is sane, war is peace, getting your psychiatrist killed is helping him, and Iran needs Syria to access the sea. Pure psyco’s.

  10. America is morally bereft, financially bankrupt and ruled by psychopaths namely the zionists in the guise of banksters, media moguls and lobbyists. The idea of decency has been stripped away by the zionist jue who is behind the porn industry, the crap on television and the movies. It is not of course relegated to just the zionist jues but to their “useful idiots” who, through ignorance, blindly allow them selves to be brainwashed, manipulated and dumbed down into believing the lies, deceits and propaganda that has brought us to the very edge of collapse and the end of America as we know it.
    I see very little in the way of decency being promoted by the government….only tyranny, which is the most indecent of all propositions.

  11. “No matter how noble the objective of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion – it is an evil government”
    Eric Hoffer

  12. heres some decency that the U.S at this point in time can only hope to achieve.

    Iran Offers to Send Emergency Aid Team to Stricken New York 01 Nov 2012 Iranian rescuers and aid workers are on standby to fly to New York City to provide assistance to those affected by Hurricane Sandy, the head of Iran’s Red Crescent Organization said on Wednesday. “We are ready to help the flood-stricken people of America,” Mahmud Mozaffar, who leads the organization, told the semiofficial Fars News Agency. His men stand ready to board planes and fly to the United States to help out, assuming the American government accepts Iran’s offer, he said. “If American authorities agree, we can send our rescuers with equipment and tools to American cities in the shortest period of time,” Mr. Mozaffar said

    american ways and attitude have stripped its country naked of “Decency”
    if you want it back you will have to start @ “ground zero” and not the fake one a..t new bs york

    • yes of course this is a “Jab” but it is a caring and decent “Jab”

    • Cuba offered first responders, aid, etc, for New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and the USG wouldn`t allow them to help. I think maybe Venezuela had the same problem. Our gov wouldn`t help, but no one else could either.

  13. If anyone wants to talk about “decency” that pretty much rules out a vote for Obama. The words “decency” and “Obama” don’t belong in the same universe.

    As for Romney, if elected, I guess those of us concerned with re-establishing decency will just have to deal with him as other tyrants have been dealt with.

    1776 was not a one-shot deal.

    • if america really wants decency, then they (americans) will have to march on an seize D.C. now before any electing happens.
      but that wont happen, will it……..
      so america there you have the bed that you have made, and now you will lay in it.

      • Here is a positive thought for Dave and greenrecovery: I’ll bet my bottom dollar that during the American War of Independence the VAST MAJORITY of people played no part whatsoever in the fighting or even discussing the philosophical rights and wrongs of it. They will have sat around as usual drinking and subsisting – waiting to see ‘what happened’. I’ll bet that there were some in remote areas of the US that had no idea a revolution had even happened until years afterwards.

        There were probably a few who jumped on the revolutionary bandwagon to have their say as soon as all the fighting was over and it was safe to do so – but all in all – the action would have been down to a small number of committed individuals. It is no good waiting around for the general public to ‘wake up’. That will probably never happen – and you certainly wont get anywhere waiting for VOTES to solve things. That opportunity was missed long ago and the ‘modern’ zioworld is now one of endemic corruption. Even if everybody voted green tomorrow – the results would be rigged anyway.

        The positive thing, however, is that it only takes a small percentage of the population to turn up and make the major change needed. The rest will sit around watching with their mouths open anyway.

        The cabal is desperately trying to build up its personal defences and to indoctrinate soldiers, young people and police officers into a zombie bodyguard.

        It is now a race against time to remove them.

        • thanks ex need all the positive possible, however man this ain’t “the American War of Independence”
          and a lib estimate would be that 30% of the people are in the know today, what they don’t know is who to trust of that…. thats a huge number if/when they want to move on dc.

          “It is now a race against time to remove them.”
          ex the only way that this can happen is for “The People” to “Seize” and “Remove” is that not correct.
          Regime change does not happen with out a topple, odd that americans can topple any other gov but their own….

        • ” I’ll bet my bottom dollar that during the American War of Independence the VAST MAJORITY of people played no part whatsoever in the fighting or even discussing the philosophical rights and wrongs of it.”

          You’re right. During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King’s tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists. History itself, for good or ill, is made by determined minorities. Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed “decent” citizens to change the world. Indeed, it has never been done otherwise.

    • Dave,

      vote for the degenerate gambler with the cuban mistress who spies for russia

      good match

      • Not gonna vote for Romney either. If that tips the scale to Romney, well, that’s what we damn well deserve for letting it get that far gone.
