When 'Spitting Image' ran a sketch years ago showing President Ronald Reagan answering one of his aides by saying "Nicaragua? that's the big guy with the beard aint it?" we all laughed uneasily, we knew the biggest military and economic country in the history of the planet was being lead by a congenital idiot and the world was a less safe place because of it but: Corporate America was willing to risk it because they would get seriously rich, so what! that's Capitalism right!
Fast forward on a nightmare journey and we find another congenital idiot George Bush as president of America he once said ''Our politically correct society is acting like some giant insult's taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards...There's going to be a retard summit at the White House.''
We laughed and showed a rictus grin as the Bush years held the world in an uneasy embrace: we had stopped asking by then how such people could become so powerful. Corporate America smiled from the sidelines as it's pockets bulged with green, that's Capitalism right!
Right now we watch horrified as the never ending Korean conflict flares up again with nuclear capability on both sides; we should all be reflecting uneasily that one of the apparently plausible presidential candidates for 2012 is Sarah Palin: believer in witchcraft; slaughterer of animals for fun and congenital idiot. When asked what newspapers and magazines she reads on a political talk show she couldn't name a single one and said
"All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years. Two days ago when asked about the Korean flare up she said "But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies."
North Korea backed by China are the communist enemies of South Korea who are backed by America. I sometimes think that I remember this stuff as part of a nightmare. This woman could conceivably become the most powerful person on the planet: the world looks on aghast and says "surely even Americans can't be that stupid" but: we said that before with Reagan and Bush did we not? Corporate American crooks continue to win while placing idiots in positions of great power and they thus ensure that their wealth continues to grow. Here is a nice thought as we approach Christmas, cherish the season of Peace & Goodwill and try not to think 2 years ahead try not to think that in Reagan, Bush and Palin we could have lived under the world leadership of the third congenital idiot American President, all of whom had and still have access to the Nuclear Codes.

Sarah Palin is a thick Neo-Conservative.
If you look closely at the ideologies and their variants that have been allowed to prevail over the last 100 years, you'll see only two:
International Marxism
International (Neo) Conservatism
The West is due another bout of warmongering Neo-Conservatism to follow the warped, distorted hybrid of Financial Capitalism/Social Marxism we've just had. It's in Israel's interests to have enough Western interest in bashing Islamist states in the Middle East.
Do you think a war on Iran is in the offing? I do. And it'll be Neo-Conservatism that bangs its drum loudest for it, ironically making use of traditional leftist issues such as women's rights in order to do so. North Korea is set to cop an unfortunate one too.
I'd explain why I think this but I do run the risk of being labelled a barking mad conspiracy theorist. I just study patterns. I think we all should if we want to get to the bottom of matters.

“Do you think a war on Iran is in the offing?”
I have thought this for some time Israel/America are waiting for the right moment to attack Iran and this morning’s papers about the security leaks makes Iran look incredibly vulnerable, surrounded by hostile countries who are all urging America on.
Assuming that we are neo conservatives do you think the UK would show any enthusiasm for conflict at this time given the debacle in Iraq/Afghanistan?
North Korea may well come under attack but: they do seem to get away with defying the Americans more than most. Anyone who wants to understand the conflict in terms of territory only needs to take a cursory glance at the map to see that islands which are very close to North Korea have been given to South Korean which is hundreds of miles away by the UN and the Americans at the end of the cease fire, it’s a ridiculous carve up and it’s no wonder the North Koreans will not accept it.
