The New Rome: Collapse By The Book

Hubris, strategic overreach, military adventurism, energy depletion, depletion of the Treasury, monetary debasement, spectacle, moral decay

ZH: Feb. 23th, 2015
In the story of the week, Russians painted "To be delivered to Obama" on a mocked-up nuclear missile and paraded it through town. Fortunately, Faux News and CNN were too busy blowing smoke up everyone's ass to notice. If you really squint, in the lower right it says this is the "Optimistic Channel"... 



"What ISIS Really Wants": 
One centrally dictated version of ancient gibberish for everyone
ISIS has decided that there shall be only one version of subjectively interpreted gibberish for everyone on the planet, which shall be centrally dictated by the caliphate which was established in 2014. Anyone who deviates from that centrally dictated singular version of 700 A.D. derived 'truth' will be stoned, crucified, burned to death, beheaded or enslaved, depending upon various religious criteria that I've already forgotten. 'Apostate' Muslims in many cases will be treated worse than Christians and (yes) Jews, if they don't instantly repent and submit to the caliphate. The order of annihilation will be Iran/Shia, Saudi/Apostate Sunni, and finally Israel - more on that below. The U.S. 'Crusaders' will be dealt with at Dabiq, a city in Syria. 

Therefore, as for the U.S., basically ISIS just wants Johnny McCain & the merry band of NeoCons to keep blundering around like stoned sailors on leave i.e. maintain status quo. According to their own glossy online magazine "Dabiq", ISIS wants the "Crusader" armies to re-invade Iraq and Syria culminating in a great battle at Dabiq Syria:



Serial blunderer Johnny McCain, the Donald Trump of the U.S. Senate, gets special mention in the second issue of Dabiq:
"On 12 June 2014, the crusader John McCain came to the senate floor to rant irritably about the victories the Islamic State was achieving in Iraq. He forgot that he himself participated in the invasion of Iraq that led to the blessed events unfolding today by Allah’s bounty and justice."



It gets better, or worse, depending upon how much you like crazy shit. Following upon the resounding inevitable defeat of the infidel crusaders at Dabiq, the dwindled Islamic State will then face the Anti-Christ in Jerusalem. At the brink of defeat, the Islamic State will be rescued by the second coming of Jesus. I'm not making this shit up.

For their part, the NeoCons were just today debating whether or not to re-invade Iraq:
