Occupy Kazakhstan

Most Americans couldn't find Kazakhstan on a map. Do they know they're sending millions of tax dollars there every year?

Seems Kazakhstan is a strategic US ally. They've got oil. They've also got a "democratically elected" president who likes to make his critics disappear. But he's our kind of guy. He's got oil.

The oil workers have been occupying the civic square in the capital on and off for the last six months. The usual disgruntled-worker stuff. They want a living wage and health care and blah blah blah... Fail to appreciate that just because they earn a tenth of what their American counterparts in the oilfields do, doesn't mean they're underpaid.

It just means American workers are overpaid.

Which is why we'll never see Occupy Kazakhstan on our eleven o'clock news.

War on Iran already begun

Mystery computer viruses circulating through the Iranian scientific community.

Unexplained explosions at missile testing facilities.

How are such things coincidence?

The think tank here at Falling Downs has a start date for the war on Iran; 1979. The war started when the Ayatollah landed, and it's been going on ever since.

Mostly it's been a cold war. For a few years in the eighties it was a proxy war. Our man in Baghdad thought he could do the job for us. Unfortunately for Sadam, the Iranians were a more committed adversary than we were an ally.

We've been funding MEK mischief in Iran forever. Officially, they're on our terror watch list. Unofficially, they're doing God's work and we not only turn a blind eye, we give them plenty of behind the scenes support that God can't provide.

Syrian spring is just another front in the Iran war. If we can affect regime change there, so much the better. And it's not so much regime change as regime collapse we're looking for.

We don't mind a country in anarchic disarray, as long as the banks and the oil infrastructure are functioning.
