Poll: Bush Hive Mind Supports Iran Attack

Kurt Nimmo | 28.03.2007 12:24 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Of course, with an appropriate black flag terrorist event pinned on Iran, this fence sitting 18% and no doubt a large chunk those “somewhat” opposed to attacking Iran, or 19%, will team up to make a majority.



In yet another brain-dead poll conducted by Harris Interactive, nearly 60 percent of Americans believe “Iran is helping the Shiites in Iraq by providing weapons to them.”

No indication if the people polled understand that 53 percent of Iranians are Shi’ites, or that Iran providing weapons to fellow Shi’ites makes more sense than the United States providing weapons to Israeli Jews, as there approximately 5 million Jews in the United States, or around 3 percent of the population.

In fact, if we are to base nation-states along religious lines, as is the case with Israel, a large chunk of Iraq would rightfully be considered part of Iran, or at least the Shi’a part of Iran, that is to say most of the country. In order to get an idea of what I’m talking about, check out this map.

Further data breaks down along the same old tired, fanatical, irrational, and generally brain-dead lines: 14% in favor of bombing Iran, with an additional 18% “somewhat” favoring mass murdering Iranians in the name of Israel, although most Americans remain steadfastly unaware, as admitted by the Bush crime family intimate Philip Zelikow, that attacking Iraq and soon Iran serves the state of Israel, not the United States, as downtown Tehran is exactly 6352.5 miles from the Washington Monument and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, no matter what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did or did not say, will not invade on a fortnight, even if the neocons insist that’s how long it will take for Iran to patch together a crude nuke.

Of course, with an appropriate black flag terrorist event pinned on Iran, this fence sitting 18% and no doubt a large chunk those “somewhat” opposed to attacking Iran, or 19%, will team up to make a majority. As well, the “not sure” column, wishy-washy and easily swayed with the right degree of propaganda catapulted in their namby-pamby direction by the likes of Fox News, CNN, and the rest of the corporate media, will likely be onboard, plastic flags made in China in hand. In other words, given the correct degree of engineered violence and resultant media-hyped fear on the part of a know-nothing public, wired into Fox News like Borg drones assimilated to the collective mind, a majority of the population will either support the attack on Iran or be ambivalent enough not to give a hoot one way or the other, in short they will be accomplices.

Angus Reid, however, does not see it that way. “Americans Reject Attacking Iran Over Iraq Bombs,” the global monitor corporation announces. Indeed, a Bushzarro flip-flop, indeed an avalanche, hangs by a tenuous thread, a sword of Damocles, and will be easily snapped by a “dirty bomb” event or even a suicide bomber at the mall, conducted by a crazed Muslim patsy or mental patient with a Persian surname.
