“Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.”
- George Orwell
On July 22nd a House Resolution was proposed by 47 US Representatives – led by Rep. Louis Buller Gohmert,Republican Representative from Texas’s 1st congressional district; House Resolution 1553.
The resolutions main proposal reads as follows:
“Expressing support for the State of Israel’s right to defend Israeli sovereignty, to protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, and to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within reasonable time to protect against such an immediate and existential threat to the State of Israel.”
Here are the decisive points found in the resolution which has since been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs:
Whereas the United States does not want or seek war with Iran, but it will continue to keep all options open -
1. Condemnation of Iran based “for its threats of annihilating the United States and the State of Israel”
2. Support of using “all means of persuading the Government of Iran to stop building and acquiring nuclear weapons.”
3. Reaffirming the United States’ unshakable bond with Israel.
4. Expresses support for Israel’s right to use “all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by Iran”
Iran and Nuclear Weapons
The United States and Israel have been accusing Iran of having nuclear weapons long before 2010 – In 2007 Mohamed El Baradei, who was then leading the International Atomic Energy Agency vehemently contended that not only was there no evidence that Iran had nuclear material but that there was no active weaponization program.
That same year The National Intelligence Council, a center of strategic thinking within the US Government which provides the President of the United States and senior policymakers with analyses of foreign policy issues has stated, clearly that “…with moderate-to-high confidence…Iran does not currently have a nuclear weapon.”
On February 27th, 2010 Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavro, while speaking against sanctioning Iran, stated that “There is no evidence that Iran has made a decision to produce nuclear weapons”
Ironically Israel, the largest finger-pointer and promoter of a war on Iran, is one of three states - including India and Pakistan – which has declined to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT); The three main pillars of the NPT are non-proliferation, disarmament, and the right to peacefully use nuclear technology. India and Pakistan are confirmed nuclear powers, and Israel has a long-standing policy of “deliberate ambiguity”.
The NPT was ratified by the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, the United States, and 40 other signatory states. Iran is one of the signatories.

The resolution presented by Rep. Gohmert along with 46 other US representatives is brief and fairly vague in terms of providing a time-table for finding a ‘peaceful solution’ but it is certain that Resolution 1553 is flagrantly providing explicit support for military strikes against Iran.
Rep. Louis Buller Gohmert of Texas is leading this nefarious proposition and this is one of the most important facts concerning Resolution 1553.
Rep. Gohmert has taken at least two trips to Tel Aviv,Israel both of which were sponsored by The American Israel Education Foundation – a “supporting organization” of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) which provides grant monies to educate opinion leaders about the U.S.-Israel relationship.
From 8/5/2007 to 8/12/2007 Rep. Louis Buller Gohmert and his wife Kathy Gohmert traveled to Tel Aviv on a budget of $21,449.26 in order to attend the American Israel Education Foundation Republican congressional mission to Israel.
Most recently,8/1/2009 to 8/9/2009, Gohmet and wife Kathy Gohmert traveled to Tel Aviv on a budget of $19,303.74 in order to “learn more about the U.S.-Israel relationship”
As of late,Gohmert defended and attempted to rationalize Israels attack on the Gaza Flotilla headed to the besieged strip wherein 8 Turkish nationals and an American,Furkan Dogan,were slaughtered by members of the Israeli Occupation Forces in international waters.
Resolution 1553 is damning on its own but along with an earlier proposition mandating uniformed and civilian services during times of war it is lethal. H.R. 5741, cited as the ‘Universal National Service Act’; proposed by Congressman Charles Rangel, a Democrat from New York, on July 15th, 2010 to the US House of Representatives:
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes.
On July 15th the ‘Universal Service Act’ is introduced to the US House of Representatives and only 7 days later House Resolution 1553, which blatantly supports a military strike against Iran, is proposed.
Michael Hayden, Former CIA director under President George W. Bush, says military action against Iran is more likely; Both Israeli and U.S. officials have said military action remains an option if sanctions “fail to deter Iran”. Another verifiable truth is that a majority of Americans support an Israeli strike against Iran, according to TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence; At least 56 percent of Americans approved of a military strike.
We have our target and we now have our army.
We are now witnessing the legalization and industrialization of another war, one which will set the entire region ablaze.
Israel is the true enemy. They have spied on us, stolen out technology, and attacked our military assets, most notably the USS Liberty. There is a great deal of evidence that points to Mossad involvement in 9/11. Representative Gohmert needs to be reminded that his primary duty is to the American people. With a wrecked economy, high unemployment, crumbling infrastructure, poverty, homelessness, and two ruinous wars already going badly, based on lies, that the last thing we need is another war. We’re already losing the two we have going on now. And that bogus poll is an insult to normal intelligence. The only way I would approve of an attack on Iran would be if Gohmert and the other 47 Israel lovers were in the first wave of the attack: give them AR15s and parachutes and let them go for it.
Brilliantly written. I had no idea about the first resolution but along with the latter it looks “lethal” as you noticeably stated.
Nothing will change until things go kaboom or reset. The US is spending billions to beef up military bases in Hungary, Romania, various ports within the Black Sea and many other locations within and surrounding Russia and China.
The US is being used as the world’s police force to exact ideals on countries with force. The masters behind this plot include the jewish zionist and other ultra-rich elitists.
It makes me sick what is happening. Iran is NO threat to anyone except maybe its own people….no more than our government that’s for sure. Fuck Israel. I could give a hoot whether they are attacked. They are a barbaric and intolerant people. Look what has happened to the Palestinian people for decades. The Israelis are cruel and arrogant towards anyone not of their faith. I say the hell with them. The earth would be a better place without them. They have, and continue to destroy our country through their control of the banking industry and foreign policy.
I say no mercy for those that have committed treason to this country or to those foreigners that have contributed to this treason. Our Congress members are the ones that need to be put on trial. We need transparency. Obama needs to be impeached. The people NEED TO TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY.
Now go back asleep america.
this is a war nobody wins,it will be all in for everybody.i agree with george,let those with the marvelose idea go for it,it would be all over in seconds then we could get the world moving again.look at BP?,thats a worry could or should it be classed as indutrial terrorisim,iraq afghanistan, gaza and countless other are killing us all.the thing that concerns me the most is it’s all being done by design and so called israel.there is something wrong with this picture.
the israeli zionist jew terrorist state will ensure by its agents to make america bankrupt through false wars waged for its behalf and to weaken it by destroying the dollar shortly when it will then become the ruling state of the world.
it has stolen trillions from the europe and america,is a destructive force to the security of the U.S.A but you christian putzs still believe muslims are the threat?
they murdered over 3000 innocent americans by doing 911 and verifiably it can be proven that it was mossad who carried out the attack and still they make you americans believe it was muslims who did it?
google the name nematallah shah wali. a muslim seer of the 9th century who foretold what will happen to israel and any other states currently fomenting terrorism around the world , his prophecys have all come true in word,deed, name and time concerned for 900 years, will you ignore it at your peril?
lastly, sheikh imran hosein of trinidad has video lectures on the subject of discussion here on youtube, it might interest you readers to listen from an islamic perspective to understand that our enemy is common to us and that we muslims are not your enemies—-yet!
The scene in the movie ‘The Untouchables’ where Kevin Costner transfers the jurors for AL Capone in case they had been ‘got at’ would be analagously transferred to the US Congress and new non aligned ‘Israel Firsters’ who put America first second and third would be the best possible solution for America. The absolute control of the US government by Israel is well known by the rest of the world and most countries are sickened by the US lap dog betraying the best interests of the US citizens. The absolute disdain shown for America through the deception, murders and manipulation prosecuted by Isreal on America, most recently the killing of a US citizen on the freedom flotilla angers many of us who understand the hypocrisy shown by the US. No matter the incidents used to start wars by the US when the real incidents occur such as this recent killing, USS Liberty, Mavon Affair, nuclear ambiguity etc it is plain that the US is finished in almost every way as ever becoming a true ‘New World’ and is doomed to the dustbin of history as another failed ‘empire’.
