Sid Miller is the Texas Agricultural Commissioner. He projects the image of a real American tough guy and a self-styled ‘patriot.’
So tough is this Texas state public official, that he felt compelled to post this on Facebook Sunday evening:
“Japan has been at peace with the U.S. since August 9, 1945. It’s time we made peace with the Muslim world,” said the original post, alongside the hashtags #noislamknowpeace and #COMETAKE.
Houston Chronicle reported, “The photograph and message originally was posted by a Facebook page called “The Patriot’s IV Drip 2.” The page’s one line description says, “We do not agree with Obama and his political views. We ban trolls”.
Today, Miller’s campaign spokesman, and the person who is most likely behind the stunt, Todd Smith, tried to cloud the PR stunt with a moral, pseudo-intellectual spin, “He has not made any bones about where he stands on the issue of radical Islamic terrorism and we’re not going to be creating a witch-hunt or doing anything to find out who posted it. And I think it was a powerful post that caused people to stop and think about the current state of the world.”
Miller is no stranger to manufacturing synthetic controversy, ranging from his appointing of Ted Nugent to his ‘cupcake amnesty’ stunt.
What Sid Miller (photo,left) and others like Israeli-funded anti-Muslim campaigner Pamela Geller, or like Arizona faith-baiting ‘Patriot’ ex-US Marine John Ritzheimer – are tapping into is an extremist, albeit ignorant, political vein which right-wing foundations and media outlets have been carefully cultivating over the last few years. Before his page was removed by government staff, Miller’s post received 2,232 likes and more than 300 comments by mid-morning on Monday. The vein is something eerily akin to Nazism, in that it preys primarily on an uneducated, pseudo-nationalist section of the population who believe the following:
1. ISIS have set-up training camps in Mexico, just over the Texas southern border.
2. President Barrack Obama is a ‘Secret Muslim’ plotting a Sharia Law takeover of the US.
3. The ‘Mohammed Cartoon Contest’ and Garland Texas Shooting double bill were real events.
4. The recent Chattanooga Shooting was somehow a ‘ISIS Attack’ on US soil.
5. The US is at war with the entire Muslim world, and that most Muslim would like to kill all Christians and Jews, and all Americans.
6. The only way to stop’ the Muslims is to simply nuke them via a new holocaust.
7. Along with building its imaginary nuclear arsenal, Iran is also secretly plotting to set up a global Islamic ‘caliphate’.
8. Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction are still hidden away somewhere in Iraq.
9. Osama bin Laden orchestrated 9/11 from a cave in Tora Bora.
Certainly, items 1-6 are directly influencing Sid Miller’s actions, and he is using those popular myths in order to propel his own message of hate which advocates not just for another crusade, but for a new holocaust. Most of items 1-9 are also promoted continuously by US right-wing funded, major talk radio like Michael Savage, Glenn Beck’s The Blaze and others, while CIA media affiliates like CNN are pushing items 3, 4, 7,8, and 9. The sad result is that millions of Americans have already been severely brainwashed by this constant media-driven fear porn. Where is it leading?
Many will laugh this off as just another publicity stunt by the Texas official, but the meaning behind the stunt should be taken very seriously. Miller is employing another older, but still popular myth, in order to support his idea for a new holocaust. He’s evoking memories triggered by the recent 70 year anniversary of the US dropping of two Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Upon dropping, those bombs killed roughly 140,000 people in Hiroshima, and up to 80,000 in Nagasaki – not to mention countless others who are likely to have died or been born with birth defects long after the initial exposure. In classic Orwellian doublespeak fashion, he myth set forth in US schools has been that the nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan in order to “save lives” – by cutting the conflict short. The only problem with this tremendous lie is that Japan was already in the process of surrendering when the bombs were dropped. In addition to this, recently declassified documents from the time show how nuclear strikes were not performed not out of some ‘military necessity’, as Sid Miller and other still believe – but to intimidate the USSR.
Sadly, most Americans still remain ignorant to any alternative information other than the patriotist orthodoxy which was hammered into their heads at school. See some of them in this stunning vox pop report by RT’s Gayane Chichakyan:
The problem with Sid Miller’s online nuclear provocateuring is that it is being used to transplant the same idea that, “a nuclear bomb will NEED to be dropped again in order to stop the enemy“, from post WWII America, into present day War on Terror America. To a casual mainstream liberal observer, Miller’s post seems like mere neoconservative, xenophobic war-hawking – nothing but a subtle play on the surface, but when you consider that the underlying logic he’s using is based on a complete fabrication of historical record – then the deeper danger in Miller’s psychological operations stunt reveals itself. When you combine the emotive narrative of WWII and blend it into the bevy of ISIS propaganda that’s constantly churning on CNN, FOX News and other media outlets, and add a generous dash of genetically-modified, über nationalist “Patriotism” (more aptly called patriotist) dialectic – you have a volatile recipe for some seriously over-the-top state-sponsored violence. Just ask the Germans.
As a result of the WWII myth coupled with the new ‘Muslim threat’, there are now millions of Americans who would back a ‘pre-emptive’ nuclear strike against Muslim enclaves halfway across the planet (even if they pose zero existential threat the the American ‘Homeland’. Likewise, millions would also support retired US General Wesley Clark and his recent proposal to round-up an “disloyal Americans” and separate them in concentration camps. Goebbels would have approved.
See Wesley Clark’s ‘final solution’ here:
Staving off more wars of aggression by the US, NATO and its allies, will mean the general public will have to overcome the challenge posed by US-based and Israeli-sponsored anti-Iranian propaganda which is currently dominating US television advertising slots this summer.
As we can see from his pictures, Sid Miller is fat and happy and is drawing a nice salary off courtesy of the taxpayers in his state. Or maybe not. If he was truly happy, then he wouldn’t whipping up synthetic emotions and checkout line support for another violent, and permanently catastrophic nuclear holocaust.
If all this has taught us anything, it’s that those who want war are investing more than ever to see it happen, with the hope of reaping profits on the back end. This means that those who truly want peace will have to sacrifice that comfortable seat on the fence.
