Zbigniew Brzezinski Draws Parallel Between Iranian Regime and American Neocons »
Posted By metavirus 7 months, 3 weeks ago in News
On Fareed Zakaria GPS this morning, former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski drew a fascinating parallel between American Neocons and the Iranian regime: "In Iran, we have two different forces at work. You have those who are for more democracy but who are also nationalistic and you have those who are supporting the regime who in many respects are ... very similar to our Neocons." More after the jump.

kinda funny considering Neocons stand up against the Obama regime whole Obamacult members follow his every word as if its spoken by god. True conservatives support the constitution of the United States, which would make them partiots much like those who are standing up against the Iranian dictator who rigged a "democratic" election.

Really? Who are these people? I mean, could you name a few? I know a lot of people who voted for him, myself included, but don't worship him in the least. The only people I -ever- hear talking about Obama worship are conservatives, LOL...so if you could name just a few of these people who consider his words to be as from a god, I would really appreciate it...but I won't hold my breath. 8(

On the other hand I draw a perpendicular:

The Neo-Cons start conflicts ( invade another country ) for profits.
Iran hasn't invaded another country since the birth of the United States.
ZB needs to be aware of his statements. Something he has not been good at - ever.-

Brzezinski is a neocon. When he speaks to the public, its' as if he is speaking to his hirelings. You can count on his words being used for insiduous influence to feed into a false paradigm.

Brzezinski Seizing Control over US Policy in Slow-Motion Coup
Brzezinski Seizing Control over US Policy in Slow-Motion Coup
WASHINGTON DC — Events of the past few days indicate that the Zbigniew Brzezinski faction of lunatic Russia haters have now won the upper hand inside the secret councils of the Anglo-American finance oligarchy, displacing the hitherto dominant George Shultz-neocon faction. Although George Bush and his cronies still occupy the White House, the policies that are being carried out are coming from the Brzezinski left CIA machine. Brzezinski has returned to public prominence in recent months due to his role as top establishment controller for the Obama campaign.
But Brzezinski is not waiting for the outcome of the November elections to take over key parts of the US government. Brzezinski and his left CIA allies are already moving to assert their strategy. . . -

Who is Zbigniew Brzezinski?
It was reported in The New York Sun on February 15 that Barack Hussein Obama has chosen Zbigniew Brzezinski to advise him on Middle East policy.
Back in 1985, I wrote an article on Brzezinski for The Intercollegiate Review. Before citing some of the more relevant passages of that article, it should be borne in mind that Brzezinski, a political scientist, served as President Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser. One does not have to read Carter’s Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid to know that Carter is an anti-Semite. Brzezinski has earned the same reputation.
Not only has Brzezinski publicly defended the anti-Semitic canard that the relationship between America and Israel is the result of Jewish pressure, but he also signed a letter demanding dialogue with Hamas, whose charter calls for Israel’s destruction. It behooves us to understand the mentality of Obama’s Middle East adviser—and more deeply than our so-called experts.
Long before he became Mr. Carter’s national security adviser, Brzezinski rejected what he and most political scientists term the “black-and-white” image of the American and Soviet political systems. “This image,” he says, “is held by traditional anti-Communists.” Brzezinski thus affirmed he is not quite an anti-Communist. In fact, he deplores anti-Communism as “a relic of the Cold War, of the age of ideology.”
Not only did Brzezinski reject the “black-and-white” image of the American and Soviet forms of government, he rejects the very notion of good and bad regimes! If you are shocked by Brzezinski’s moral relativism, ponder Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s confession in an interview with Ha’aretz in 2002 that his son Omri taught him “not to think in terms of black and white”—a statement uttered while suicide bombers were reducing Jews to body parts.-

LOL. Of course not, no need to read at all, we will tell you what it means and what you need to know. Oh my, he used the word Arpatheid, the heathen.

Pastor concluded his remarks by stating that Carter “should be honored, not guillotined.”
The audience then gathered into small discussion groups to give their opinion of the book as well as Pastor’s remarks. This reporter sat with a group comprising mostly American Jews. The group discussion focused on Carter’s use of the word apartheid, which many Jews find offensive, rather than on the suffering of Palestinians living under occupation. As each person told how they were outraged by the use of the word apartheid, this reporter asked if he or she actually had read the book. The majority either had read only excerpts or had not bothered to pick it up at all.

With Zbigniew Brzezinski as his national security adviser, it was Jimmy Carter who facilitated the return of Ayatollah Khomeini to Iran. The Carter-Brzezinski axis is very much responsible for the Islamic revolution—the most dangerous revolution that has occurred in human history, a revolution that threatens the existence of every nation-state.
As a crypto-Marxist, Brzezinski deplores the nation-state. His book Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era, declares that “With the splitting and eclipse of Christianity man began to worship a new deity: the nation. The nation became a mystical object claiming man’s love and loyalty. The nation-state along with the doctrine of national sovereignty fragmented humanity. It could not provide a rational framework within which the relations between nations could develop.” Brzezinski sees the nation-state as having only partly increased man’s social consciousness and only partially alleviated the human condition.
“That is why Marxism,” he contends, “represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing and man’s universal vision.” Marxism, he says, “was the most powerful doctrine for generating a universal and secular human consciousness.” Embodied in the Soviet Union, however, Communism became the dogma of a party and, under Stalin, “was wedded to Russian nationalism.”
Although Brzezinski poses as a humanist, he makes a most inhumane statement by saying that: “although Stalinism may have been a needless tragedy, for both the Russian people and Communism as an ideal, there is the intellectually tantalizing possibility that for the world at large it was … a blessing in disguise.” Ponder this shocking statement about Islam or of Islamic imperialism. Yes, it slaughtered more than 200 million people, but Islam brought hundreds of Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Hindu, and Buddhist communities under a single universal vision, that of the Quran.
Brzezinski, a self-professed secularist, is an internationalist whose moral relativism contradicts the moral law or natural rights doctrine of America’s Declaration of Independence.
His relativism and internationalism contradict the teachings of the America’s Founding Fathers, who endowed the United States with a national identity and character, the same that animated Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
To put it more bluntly: Brzezinski’s mode of thought or political mentality—like that of countless other American academics—is anti-American. An Obama-Brzezinski axis has revolutionary significance. It might accelerate the de-Americanization and decline of the United States. -

What you say is true to a degree.

Bush Treasury Secretary, Paul O'Neill and SEC commissioner, William Donaldson are advising President Obama on economic matters.
And indeed, Ben Bernanke advises President Obama as teh Chairman of the Fed ... but he is not appointed by President Barry.
But I do agree that on many substantive levels ... there has not been that much change. What change has occurred has been more in tone.
My assessment would, of course, change ... if President Obama can push through a Health Care solution.
But essentially ... I think what you are saying ... and what I agree with ... is that President Obama is a CENTRIST ... as opposed to the hype among the right ... that he's some kind of Socialist.
