Didn’t even make it a full two days before the same shit started in earnest. Yay! A few things:

  1. There is not, nor has there been, a siege on the US Embassy in Baghdad – which is in the “green zone,” btw. Smoke and a mob running hither and tither? Fake. There’s a book by a German journalist that … nevermind,
  2. I had just found a news article (from Asia) that starts to tell the truth about this FAKE Iran-Iraq fakery. But, instead,
  3. Trump goes and puts forth his best argument form removing himself from office (which still won’t happen). Please read those two Asia Times articles and see if you can’t pick out a pattern. Even if you can’t, you also can’t provide any valid reason for the Empire involvement in the SandBox.

2020 So Far: There is an active deep state coup against Trump. Trump does nothing about it. Trump then uses the same arguments and equipment that he could easily use to put down the coup, to instead start WW3. Gonna cut this analysis short – I’ve done this hundreds of times before.

Y’all are going to lose a carrier.

UPDATE: Iran has already filled Gen. Soleimani’s position.

UPDATE: Lindsey Graham is a goddamned idiot:

Chuck Baldwin on War with Iran

A war for which there is no justification.

Folks, all of the hatemongering and fearmongering against Iran aside, the Persian nation has not invaded any country in an act of unprovoked aggression in over 200 years. Iran was not even involved in Israel’s Six Day War in 1967. And not only has Iran not attacked the United States (or Israel either, for that matter), Iran poses absolutely NO threat to the United States. And the only threat Iran poses to Israel is a defensive threat as Israel constantly attacks Iranian assets across the region. If Israel was not such a fanatical militaristic apartheid state, the PLO, Hamas and Hezbollah would not even exist.

Israel has launched hundreds (maybe thousands) of missile attacks against Iranian assets in Syria and Lebanon. And please remember that Iran’s forces are in those countries lawfully, having been invited by the respective governments of those countries to help defend their people against the constant attacks by Israel.

Do you not find it more than interesting that Iran is home to more Jews than any other Middle Eastern country outside of Israel? And do you not find it even more interesting that those thousands of Jews in Iran believe themselves to be freer and safer in Iran than they would be in Israel, the United States or Europe?

This war against Iran is not about the safety and security of the United States, and it’s not about protecting the world against a “terrorist” state. It’s all about war for Israel and the Federal Reserve. Iran is the last major Middle Eastern country that has refused to submit to the Federal Reserve international banking cartel.

Bingo! Follow the money.

 

Cool Hand Trump

Let’s hope this lasts. Trump calls off Iranian airstrike:

Officials said the president had initially approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries.

The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official said.

The abrupt reversal put a halt to what would have been the president’s third military action against targets in the Middle East. Mr. Trump had struck twice at targets in Syria, in 2017 and 2018.

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.

Let’s hope he realized he’s being lied to by the neocon nuts. Maybe he’ll just launch them at Iran.

President Pompeo Primes Poms Poms

Reasons behind the recent Gulf of Oman false flags begin to emerge. And, they look a lot like the same old neocon insanity.

According to a new article from English-language Israeli publication The Jerusalem Post, the Hebrew-language Israeli publication Maariv has reported that diplomatic sources in the UN are assessing a US plan to conduct a “massive” airstrike on “an Iranian facility linked to its nuclear program” in response to alleged attacks on two sea vessels in the Gulf of Oman.

“The sources added that President Trump himself was not enthusiastic about a military move against Iran, but lost his patience on the matter and would grant Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is pushing for action, what he wants,” The Jerusalem Post reports.

This news comes after public statements by Pompeo that the US is considering a “full range of options” against Iran. It also comes as 1,000 additional US troops are being sent to the Middle East to “address air, naval, and ground-based threats” there. It also comes amid sightings of depraved war criminal Henry Kissinger at the Pentagon.

So that’s great.

Action at all costs. And, no gain. That is great…

Better Get Those F-35s Operational Now!

Duct tape the wings or whatever. Mike Pompeo says Iran is behind the recent false flag attacks in the Gulf of Oman. And, when has the US government ever been wrong or lied about anything? Iran, naturally, calls BS:

IRAN has accused the US of lying about the “torpedo attack” on an American-linked oil tanker as tensions reach breaking point.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for the “blatant” attacks on two tankers which burst into flames in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday.

But Iran has hit back at the “unfounded and reckless” claims and accused the US of “warmongering” as part of a “disinformation campaign”.

“The US and its regional allies must stop warmongering and put an end to mischievous plots and false flag operations in the region,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations said.

“Warning, once again, about all of the US coercion, intimidation and malign behaviour, Iran expresses concern over suspicious incidents for the oil tankers that occurred today.”

It came after Pompeo pointed the finger at Iran and the Pentagon released images and footage as “proof” of Iranian involvement.

Even the British tabloid press puts “proof” in tell-tale quotation marks! No word on what Secretary Kardashian has to say about the matter…

Losing Two Wars at Once

There’s the ever-so-wanted by the neocons war in Iran, which America cannot win.

And here’s why – he writes:

1. Iran is a REALLY BIG COUNTRY – it is 3–4 times larger than Iraq, with a much larger population.

2. The terrain is more like Afghanistan, ringed with mountains, not deserts. It isn’t a good place for tanks to run amok.

3. Worse, the Strait of Hormuz is REALLY narrow, especially the shipping channel. Nearly all of it can be fired upon from Iran with short-range missiles or can be attacked from shore with small boats. There is NO WAY to try to sail tankers out during war times.

4. Iran is right – they probably CAN block the Strait in the event of war. No business wants to come under missile attack while in transit.

There are many more reasons, on both sides. Russian ASMs on the one, post-modern NOT-America on the other…

Then, more alarming, there’s the open invasion of the US Homeland, which America apparently cannot stop.

Today, there are anywhere between 11 and 22 million illegal aliens living across the country — the majority of which are concentrated in states like California, New York, Florida, Texas, and Illinois.

Since December 21, 2018, DHS has released a total of 204,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the country, with all of them going to four American communities: San Diego, California; Phoenix, Arizona; El Paso, Texas; and San Antonio, Texas.

Tick, tick, tick.

Big Old Burning Floating False Flags

Two of them in the Gulf of Oman.

Two oil tankers were hit in suspected attacks in the Gulf of Oman, shipping firms and industry sources said on Thursday, sending oil prices as much as 4% higher a month after four other tankers were damaged by limpet mines in the region.

One of the tankers, the Front Altair, carrying a cargo of petrochemical feedstock, was ablaze in waters between Gulf Arab states and Iran.

Iran’s state news agency said it had sunk, although the Norwegian owner had said it was afloat and its crew were safe. The other tanker was adrift without any crew.

The Bahrain-based U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet said it was assisting the tankers after receiving distress calls. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, part of Britain’s Royal Navy, said it was investigating with its partners.

Full details about Thursday’s incident were not immediately clear. The firm which chartered one of the vessels said it suspected a torpedo had hit the ship, while a source said the other might have been damaged by a magnetic mine.

An investigation blamed limpet mines for last month’s attacks on four tankers. Saudi Arabia and the United States blamed Iran for those attacks, a charge Tehran denies.

Oil prices surged as much as 4% after Thursday’s news. The region was already on edge following attacks in May on Gulf oil assets that occurred amid a dispute between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s nuclear programme.

Torpedo … oil prices surge … nuclear [nu-ku-ler] program[me].

At least it wasn’t the Abe Lincoln. Someone keep John Bolton away from the football.

A Tale of Two Countries

One country sends across or allows to cross, our Southern border, some 4,000 invaders every single day. Thousands of miles away, another country, with no ability to attack the imperial homeland, mostly minds its business. Regarding the first country, your President sends hundreds of soldiers – to shuttle the invaders from welfare appointment to welfare appointment. To the other, harmless country, he sends a carrier task force, heavy bombers, fighters, and combat troops.

Can you name the countries? MAGA?

Maybe the Official End of the United States Too

Not necessarily outright, but a useless war with Iran could well precipitate the eventual and inevitable breakup of the U.S. Empire.

“If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon.

It’s unclear exactly what promoted Trump’s posting, but news outlets reported explosions in Iraq’s capital and that a rocket launcher was discovered in eastern Baghdad, an area that is home to Iranian-backed Shiite militias.

Step One: Get rid of Bolton. Step Two: Ditch Twitter. Step Three: Watch a 2015-16 campaign event and note the topics (and then start following through).

Saudi Arabia: “Let’s You and Him Fight”

Please, do shut up. Fight your own war if you’re so inclined. Leave us the hell out of it.

A state-aligned Saudi newspaper is calling for “surgical” U.S. strikes in retaliation against alleged threats from Iran.

The Arab News published an editorial in English on Thursday, arguing that after incidents this week against Saudi energy targets, the next logical step “should be surgical strikes.”

The editorial says U.S. airstrikes in Syria, when the government there was suspected of using chemical weapons against civilians, “set a precedent.”

It added that it’s “clear that (U.S.) sanctions are not sending the right message” and that “they must be hit hard,” in reference to Iran, without elaborating on what specific targets should be struck.

The newspaper’s publisher is the Saudi Research and Marketing Group, a company that had long been chaired by various sons of King Salman until 2014 and is regarded as reflecting official position.

Anything else you’d like while we’re at it? I hear this was an op-ed submitted by one “J. Bolton.”
