Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
Current disturbances in the Middle East illumine the inherent Israeli alliance — food, munitions, tech support and otherwise — with Gulf Arab states vice Iran.
Gulf Arabs rely, as through most of their history as Caliphists, on Christians and Jews, the former as warriors (mercenaries and slaves) and the latter as traders. This is even more the case post petrol. Gulf Arabs do not work. They depend on slave labor. Non-Gulf Arabs and other Caliphists, when competently led (e.g., modernly, ISIS) are excellent fighters, but still, their ability is top-down, not bottom-up, which is a weakness. An exception there would be the Mongols and their Central Asian descendants, who have excellent bottom-up fighting prowess.
Historically Arabs relied on Jews as co-rulers — the economic guts, the working, producing and organizing cadre — of their empires. Modern Arabs are no different. And for fighting on their behalf, overall, they still rely on non-Arabs. Jews are in a power position vice especially Gulf Arabs, who are the ones wanting to take Iran legless. Arabs need Jews more than Jews need Arabs, and they all know that.
Richard Fernandez is right that the Iran deal cannot be an historic turning point of anything. And Israelis can still reach them via their Arab friends, should they want to.
The good news, as I see it, is that the other (besides Iran) skunk in the region (Saud) is raising its tail to claim territory and prevent loss of same. They are long-since due to fend for their own evil selves. We shall see how well they do. Bombing alone will not concretize their wishes. But stretching their muscles and exercising them will bring Saud into a measure of sanity from which they have been protected by USA and GB since the 1920s.

Update 12: Ignore The Dire Warnings About Our Lives Because It’s Just Hysteria
Update 13: A side-point on this post: is it really true that Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, aka global Islamic hegemony by every means available? This statement is repeated again and again, seemingly everywhere, by everyone. Is it true? I do not know, but I suspect it is not true, and have no way to validate my suspicion.
I suspect al Saud is the world’s largest state sponsor of global Islamic hegemony (Caliphism), at least if large is taken to indicate monies spent and time-in-grade.
For example, who pays for the Islamic Centers, Islamic propaganda/information circulars/curricula and Islamic Studies Departments at … how many primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities around the globe? Who pays for the Islamic “prison ministries” in virtually every country not officially Islamic? Who pays for the madrassas in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere? Who is trying to bankrupt some countries while funding others as well as supposedly non-state actors?
Who fills the world’s media with continuous cascades of sanctimonious double-talk to justify global Islamic hegemony?
If my suspicion regarding the world’s largest sponsor of “terrorism” is correct, then a one-eyed laser-focus on Iran as the primary enemy of the USA in the ME flouts Von Clausewitz’ first rule of war, does it not?
Finally — and of this I am certain: in the ME, it is deeply and widely held as fundamental truth that the State of Israel birthed ISIS — which in the ME is deeply and widely hated by the generality — to cripple Arab freedom, independence and self-determination.
Update 14: Charles Kenny: Saudi Arabia Is Underwriting Terrorism. Let’s Start Making It Pay
Update 15: Petraeus, who was just at Bilderberger, has joined lefties to push gun restriction/confiscation. Good grief!
Update 16: There’s also turning al Saud out of house and home and restoring the Hashemites to Mecca and Medina. Not so hard to do. Then, make the Ayatollahs an offer they can’t refuse. That would settle things down. And not even difficult.
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA
