Entry: The Morning Scene Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_morning_scene#23842 Post contents: We are getting right there. You just need to skim again through the papers in the past two years to realize that war against Iran is in the offing. Newspapers never get it wrong when it comes to sniffing shit. Ever since the election of Iranian president Ahmadinejad in 2005, the media have been pushing to give him a good democratic licking. Same for Iraq: from 11 september 2001 to 20 march 2005, tension increased until Bush pressed on the button. In the case of Iran, where the issues are so different, the process is the same. It is the conditioned response of democracies and their media wallowing in their obvious failures: to give a belting to whomever is in the position of the big bad wolf. Journalists and politicians are hypocrits when they swear they are doing all they can to avoid war, but each of their warnings is a call in disguise for general mobilization. It was obvious in Kouchner’s “faux-pas”, when he spontaneously declared that one ha to prepare for the worst. “Meaning war, sir”. False general uproar. Sarkozy corrects the stance but purely for form’s sake, and when a president has been able to suggest the catastrophic choice “the iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran” one can start packing the kit. Kouchner was only expressing out loud the desire of millions of tense westerners. If it was a freudian slip, it was revelatory for everyone, including himself. And his backtracking was just a way of preparing the next step “I told you so”. One forgets too quickly that Doctor Kouchner was one of the most enthusiastic Saddam Hussein bashers. “Easy to be against war” he clamoured, several weeks before the offensive, with bloodthirsty pals, Goupil, Glucksmann, and Bruckner. Do we need to to read again, already yellowed (or rather red in the blood of 650000 Iraqis who have died since), the revolting columns of that gang of irresponsible neurotics, always ready to send as many people as possible to get slaughtered in Muhammad’s lands? The general atmosphere is full of the most unjustified war-mongering and the French who have nothing better to do but to go on strike for social justice!... Sarko is preparing every day public opin- ion to the struggle against barbarianism and resistance against all forms ot totalitarianism... How can the compulsory reading of the letters of a young man shot by the Germans in 1941 serve as an exam- ple for today? All very simple: you have to get them used to the idea of dying fo a grand ideal. I.e. to prevent Teheran from getting the atomic bomb. Guy Môquet is the first casualty of the next war. Sarkozy forgets to mention that the Right (his camp) had done everything in the past to help a country, so vilified nowadays, to master nuclear energy. Tricastin, Eurodif, apparently nobody remem- bers these names... Enrichment in so many ways! Incoherent France! A country whic continues to do the same, like when Sarkozy did not hesitate to promise to Kadhafi the means to produce a bomb, exchange for the liberation of the Bulgarian nurses. Behind the scenes, assholes are preparing Lebel rifles and the puttees for the young men who are going to fight the Persians. Time to stop the Iranian and his uranium! The skeptics will be accused of being appeasers, the inspectors of weapons of mass destruction will propose their services (already that useless Mohammad el Baradei has reappeared with his snotty muzzle), huge worldwide demonstra- tions will not come to anything, ultimatums will follow resolutions, the UN will be scared to death, Europe will eventually stick it with the US and Whaouum! Same as usual, I tell you! One slight difference however: this time, in order to attack Iran, the motive is officially admitted: the goal is to protect Israel. “I will never compromise with the security of Israel” Sarkozy has decided, in place of the whole if France which elected him and which has begun to understand that he is not only a conservative. He is also a staunch advocate of a country of which he has said that he could not but “admire the democratic tradition and the economic performances”. Enough! At least the war-mongerers do not hide their motivation behind more or less moral pretexts such as bringing democracy to Arab countries or debunking a muslim dictator. They show their cards, or rather their card: it is really only a question of maps. The intellectual fraud consists in saying that on the one hand Ahmadinejad wants the bomb and that on the other he wishes to wipe Israel off the map. Hence: he wishes to wipe Israel off the map thanks to the bomb. A very useful simplification in order to rally the crowds. As apparently noone has so far got down to it, I respond to this obvious sophism tailored by the dishonests for the consumption of the paranoid and the gullible. First of all, Ahmadinejad has not declared he wanted to wipe Isreal off the map. This has been repeated everywhere by parrot-like journalists. The “scandalous” phrase was taken from a speech pro- nounced in Tehran on the 26th of october 2005 the title of which was “the World without Zionism”. One could see Ahmadinejad in front of an allegorical poster representing the earth as a giant sandglass in which America, represented by a broken eggshell at the bottom of the sandglass, has already been unloaded, and in which another egg, on which is drawn a star of David, is also falling, and which will soon break. Those who were scandalized were careful not to say that the “nazi” Ahmadinejad (for an Ira- nian, “Aryan” was sufficient) was describing an utopia, which is for the time being impossible to attain: that of a world without Zionism, i.e. without an international policy of colonization of Palestine, accom- panied by a general effort to indict the rest of humanity. A world which would be suddenly relieved of that concrete slab of collective responsibility which has been suffocating it for the past sixty years in order to preserve the memory of a Shoah which does not concern more than a quarter of the world population, and which endeavours to keep on poisoning the consciences of the younger generations. Ahmadinejad is fed up with this collective “sin”, imposed by blackmailers, and thanks to which a crim- inal State lives on. The only sin which should be universally felt is to let Israel destroy the Palestine without anybody reacting for fear of being accused of antisemitism. Ahmadinejad is not afraid and repeats (while nobody tries to listen) that he is not against the Jews, he is against the Zionists, and his questions are perfectly legitimate: “Why should Palestine pay for an European Holocaust?” “If one considers that Isreal’s occupation of Palestine is legitimate, why wasn’t Hitler’s occupation of France?” “Why doesn’t the UN inquire into how Israel has obtained the atomic bomb?” Already last year, during the “World day for Jerusalem” (established by Ayatollah Khomeiny), Ahmadinejad had pronounced an important speech during which he asked Europe “to abandon Israel”. The day when the Europeans, then the Americans (and that day will come) halt their unconditional support of the criminals of Tel-Aviv, the world will be a better place to live in, in every area. This is an obvious fact, and Ahamdenijad is the utpteenth lucid mind to expose it. There is therefore nothing real- ly surprising to the fact that the enemies of freedom give truncated versions of his pronouncements. After having explained that the Zionist state was the “tumor of the Middle East” , the Iranian president cited Ayatollah Khomeniy, but the deceivers have suppressed the words “as the Imam said” and left only the “project” fo wiping Israel off the map. The problem is that neither the word map, nor the verb wipe off, nor even Israel, were used by Ahmadinejad. First of all because the Hebrew State does not figure on maps produced in worthwhile Moslem states. (Look at a map of Lebanon, you can see a big void in the south). And also because Ahmadinejad made no allusion to the country, or the territory, but to what he precisely calls the “regime which has usurped Qods”. Let’s have another look at the quotation in Persian: Imam goft in rezhim-e ishglagar -e qods bayad az safeh-ye ruzgar mahv shaved. The exact translation is: “The Imam has said that the regime occupying Jerusalem must disappear from the page of time”, which is much more poetic, but poetry, especially when it is political, is not the cup of iced tea of the scum which controls world opinion. This spectacular doctoring of quotations is the weapon of the pathetic individuals who regularly swin- dle the ignorants. Look at his sentence concerning the fags at the University of Columbia. Ahmadine- jad did not say only: “We do not have any homosexuals in Iran”. He added “of the type one finds in your country”. That changes everything. It means that the ultraconservative islamist was not stupid enought to deny the very existance of homos, but that there wasn’t in Iran homosexuals like those in American and the West, i.e. grouped in networks, associations, getting together for demonstrations, Gay Prides etc... Secondly, Ahmadinejad does not want the Bomb! That also, he does not cease to claim it every- where and nobody listens. “The time of the bomb is over!” For him the bomb is tacky and inefficient.” “If it was that useful, the Russians would have made use of it”. Chirac (there he goes again!) had already said what that an Iranian bomb was not that dangerous as it could not be deployed. “Irangaffe” wrote Liberation. After Chirak, Chiran? Chiraz rather! The “atomic bomb” is an old fan- tasy of those who were traumatized by the Second World War. Some talk of an “Iranian menace” but what I see is more a permanent threat of the riparian countries towards Iran, as if the famous bomb was already hanging over the head of Ahmadinejad! Inspite of the mess in Iraq, we are going to see franco-American-Israeli planes bombing the nuclear sites of Arak, Natanz, or Ispahan (the Turquoise city!), just like when the areoplanes of Tsahal destroyed Osirak in 1981. Is a raid on Osiran imminent? Of course! It is the last gift to humanity by Bush before bowing out. Iran has no intention to release its bomb on Israel, but if ever the pro-zionists of America or elsewhere really want to, Ahmadinejad may cede to the collective fantasy... However he does not want to give in for now to pressure to renounce his civilian nuclear programme while Pakistan, India and Israel have the atomic bombe and have note deemed it necessary to sign the non-Proliferation Treaty. “Nuclear energy is our inalienable right” explains the Oriental, who is suspected of covert ura- nium enrichment. “Beware, sanctions!” answer the gendarmes of the West.What will the sanctions look like? A knock on Ahmadinejad’s head? Aspanking on his shiite arse?... All the bad pretexts are used in order to punish him. At the time of his election, the Americans tried to describe him as one of the hostage-takers at the US embassy in 1979. Tough luck! It wasn’t Ahmadinejad! In the eyes all the wops look the same. Leave him alone! How can anyone accept that a people without History like the Americans or without geography like the Israelis dare treat Iran like a child? O, to see the tomb of Cyrus at Passar- gade! The tomb of Darius at Persepolis! Eternal Iran, so profound and mystical! Immense planet which fired the imagination of people as intelligent as Henry Corbin, Louis Massignon, and Michel Foucault, to mention French names only (France, let us not forget, the country which, by affording him a safe haven, allowed Ayatollah Khomeiny to overthrow the hideous Shah)! In october 1978, Foucault, in spite of being Foucault, was forced to write his pro-iranian articles in the Italian press because the French did not want them. He saw in Khomeiny’s revolution “the thing we have forgotten was possible, ever since the Renaissance and the great crises of christianity: a politi- cal spirituality. I can already hear the French laughing but I know they are wrong.“Yes! And thirty years later, they are still laughing... at a president they see as the incarnation of the Devil, an utterly serious monster, when he is just being provocative. Just look at that skinny guy with his miserable beard and his cheap grey suit! He looks like the cartoonist Buzzelli! Mahmoud even has something in common with Prince Muychkine, ingenuous and innocent, concentrated on his visions. Maybe the only “Idiot” of our time. That’s why the real morons in the media laught him. A chap like Ariel Wizman has the nerve to find him “ridiculous”! One can add that the lesson giver dandy had already called Che Guevara the week before a “son of a bitch”. But Ahmadinejad loves to have some fun.When he suggests to Bush a worldwide poll to de- cide which of the two should be thrown off the international stage, he has more sense of humour than all the “Beurs” and “Blacks” in their standup shows. Immediately after the godsend victory of Hezbollah over Israel in Lebanon in August 2006, the President launched a worldwide contest for cartoons on the Holocaust as an answer to the Western hypocrits who said they were outraged when some Muslims declared they were shocked by the caricatures of the Prophet which had surfaced in Denmark! Cornering western so-called freedom of speech should be considered as in the best humour. Let Charlie Hebdo, that antiarab rag, learn from experience! “Drawings which are based on the principle that the Holocaust has existed are accepted!” mentioned the entry form. Thousands of draw- ings, in general strongly revisionist, flooded in from all over the world and Ahmadinejad was very happy to organize an exhibition: Holocust... At last a fun vernissage! A French woman cartoonist won the third prize! Even more funny: in April 2007, the scorpion from Aradan ordered the kidnapping of 15 jolly English sailors of the Royal Navy because they had penetrated into Iranian waters at the entry of the Chott al Arab river. After having exhibited the repentant captives, who were obliged to publicly con- fess and pleaded forgiveness, the President freed them. Magnanimous Ahmadinejad! He decorated the soldiers who caught them, then played with the hostages, dressing the men up in brand new suits, and the only womand with a palestinian keffieh... Ahmadinejad then let them go, arms full of all kinds of trinkets and souvenirs, said it was a gift to England to pardon such outlaws and asked Blair not to pun- ish them on their arrival back home! But his greatest gag took place at New York. Ahmadinejad was received as if he was a hooligan. Welcomed in the streets of Manhattan by placards with the words “Iranian Hitler” and the drawing by Hachfeld showing him as a swastika, the pacifist from Tehran was not given the permission to visit Ground Zero and was introduced at Columbia as a “crual and petty dictator”. Ever polite, he replied to the questions of the ignorant students. It was only at the UN that he was able to pronounce a magnifi- cent speech, full of spirituality, which was much better received than was usually reported in spite of some teeth gnashing in the audience. Happily, a certain category of New Yorkers did not reject him at all (on the contrary!), the antizionist rabbi. The “Neturei Karta” are even more radical than the rejected Iranian; to them, Judaism must not be depraved into zionism and, as religious Jews opposed to the State of Israel, they donated to Ahma- dinejad as a mark of recognition for his “gentleness towards humanity and especially towards the Jews” a silver bowl worthy of the Roland Garros finals! Then they all started embracing each other in nev- erending accolades which relegated surrealism to the tricks shop. The beards of the rabbis dripped with gratefulness and Ahmadinejad was in tears, so touched was he to be so perfectly understood, which is, after all, the only good reason to cry nowadays.
