Do you know why it is an insult in most cultures to call someone a lapdog? Because a lapdog has not the self-respect that would prevent it from being blindly responsive to its master's every whim whether it is moral or immoral.
Do you know why it is an
insult in most cultures to call someone a parrot? Because a parrot has not the
brains to know what is funny and harmless to repeat among the right company,
from what can be embarrassing and harmful if repeated among the wrong company.
So, let me ask you this, my
friend. What do you get when you cross a lapdog and a parrot? The answer is you
get an editor that's tailor-made for the Washington Examiner. You'll know why
this is spot on when you read two pieces that appeared in that rag of the
internet on November 30, 2020.
One piece came under the
title: “Israel must speak to Biden with a clear voice on future Iran
negotiations.” It is an article that was written by Jacob Nagel. The other
piece came under the title: “Biden's security picks a worrisome sign for Iran
policy.” It was written by the editors of that sorry rag.
Here are the two passages that
show what a cross between a lapdog and a parrot would produce:
The first passage is from the
Jacob Nagel article. It goes like this: “The goal must be to establish new,
clear terms to address the absurdity of Iran's 'civilian nuclear program' in
underground facilities”.
The second passage is from the
Washington Examiner’s editorial. It goes like this: “Cloaked under the absurd
pretense of civilian satellite research, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
has spent the past five years steadily improving its means to deliver a nuclear
warhead”.
This says that when the
editors of the Washington Examiner received the article from Jacob Nagel who
operates out of the very Jewish so-called Foundation for Defense of
Democracies, they were so impressed with the words: “absurdity of Iran's
'civilian nuclear program' in underground facilities,” they decided to write
their own piece and publish it alongside that of Nagel.
They wrote an editorial in
which they parroted the words that impressed them, except that their words came
out sounding a little differently. They came out like this: “Cloaked under the
absurd pretense of civilian satellite research,” which is absurd alright, but
the absurdity is on them editors, not on the Iranians.
You see my friend, when you
have an entity in the neighborhood that brags incessantly about having bombed
Iraq's civilian nuclear power station, and when the entity instructs its own
prostitutes in America to incessantly affirm that the project which Israel
bombed in Syria was an open-sky nuclear facility, it makes sense for the
Iranians to build everything nuclear underground. The fact, that Nagel called
it absurd, is ignorant propaganda and nothing more.
But when the editors of the
Washington Examiner transposed that concept to satellite research they claim
was done underground, they displayed a level of ignorance that has earned them
the label “birdbrain;” one that's no bigger than a parrot's brain. But what is
it that the editors were trying to say anyway?
They were trying to say that
the Iranians are building missiles big enough to carry the weight of a nuclear
weapon, with a last stage that’s fast enough (8 km/s) to go into orbit, thus
reach anywhere on the planet. Furthermore, the missile has a shielded cone that
can reenter the atmosphere without burning up.
Thus, whereas a satellite can
be built in a university lab by students, a rocket of that description cannot
be tested in any kind of underground or closed facility. It must be tested
above ground in open air and open sky. And that makes it visible to spy
satellites. Next time, the Examiner’s editors will have to be careful before
parroting what others are saying because it may not apply to what they have in
mind.
And there is more because
whereas the Jews have learned the lesson that Iran's resilience has allowed it
to become stronger and not weaker as a result of the sanctions, the editors of
the Washington Examiner have not learned that lesson. At a time when the Jews
have modified their discourse to plead their case anew, the editors are
repeating the arguments that proved useless in the past. Here is an example of
that:
“The Iranian regime is in
desperate need of US sanctions relief. Its economy is at rock bottom, suffering
soaring inflation and unemployment. While parts of this calamity are a
consequence of the government's mismanagement of the pandemic, Trump's
sanctions bear significant responsibility. Were Ayatollah Ali Khamenei forced
to endure one more year of this pressure, his regime would be forced into
choosing between risking a regime collapse and accepting US demands for an
improved nuclear accord”.
Never mind the economic
argument which, coming from these guys, can be as informed as a witch doctor
diagnosing a heart condition. Let's stick with their assessment of the pandemic
situation in Iran. They say it is calamitous even if the numbers tell another
story.
In fact, Iran's population of
84.5 million has registered 962,000 cases so far. By contrast, Israel's
population of 9.2 million has registered 337,000 cases. Anyone that can work a
calculator will tell you that Israel is 3.2 times worse off than Iran. Are the
editors of the Washington Examiner saying that Israel is 3.2 times less
competent and more calamitous than Iran? That’ll be the day!
If the editors are so wrong about the effect of the pandemic on Iran, you can be certain they will prove wrong with their new prediction about Iran collapsing after one more year of sanctions.
