Professor Michel Chossudovsky: The Threat of World War III

Mahatma Gandhi said: "Throughout the history of mankind there have been murderers and tyrants, and while it may momentarily seem that they have the upper hand, they have always fallen." The US and its NATO allies are now preparing to launch a nuclear war directed against both Iran and North Korea with devastating consequences. This "military adventure" threatens the future of humanity. While one can conceptualize the loss of life and destruction resulting resulting from present-day wars, including Iraq and Afghanistan, it is impossible to fully comprehend the devastation which might result from a Third World War, using "new technologies" and advanced weapons, until it occurs and becomes a reality. The international community has endorsed nuclear war, in the name of "world peace". "Making the world safer" is the justification for launching a military operation which could result in a nuclear holocaust, but these "holocausts" are not front page news! In the words of Mordechai:"The Israeli government is preparing to use nuclear weapons in its next war with the Islamic world. Here, where I live, people always talk of the Holocaust, but each and every nuclear bomb is a Holocaust in itself. It can kill, devastate cities, and destroy entire people and their nations!" Realities are turned upside down. In a twisted logic, a "humanitarian war", using tactical nuclear weapons, which according to "expert scientific opinion" are "harmless to the surrounding civilian population" is upheld as a means to protect the Western World from a nuclear attack. The global killing machine is also sustained by an imbedded cult of of killing and destruction, which pervades Hollywood movies, not to mention the prime-time war and crime TV series on network television. This cult of killing is endorsed by the CIA and the Pentagon, which also support Hollywood productions as an instrument of war propaganda: "Ex-CIA agent Bob Baer told us, "There is a symbiosis between the CIA and Hollywood" and revealed that former CIA director George Tenet is currently "out in Hollywood, talking to studios".
