U.S. attack on Iran is based on another pack of lies
The U.S. is in a doom spiral of decay, denial and temper tantrums
Trump has sent bombers to Iran. Nearly all the media ‘coverage’ you will see about this today will be bullshit - here is why:
(1) This not about nuclear weapons. Both Israel and the U.S. know that:
Iran would never use them anyway because…
Israel has a stockpile of nuclear weapons and would be avenged by their nuclear owning sponsors anyway.
(2) You will be told that only U.S. ‘bunker-buster' bombs could possibly penetrate Iran’s ‘secretive nuclear site’. So secretive that it’s location and purpose is splashed all over BBC News, replete with a clear photograph of the site, easily identified by a sharp white outline against orange sand.
The kind of people stupid enough to believe this nonsense, should re-watch Colin Powell’s speech at the U.N. in 2003 where he said the U.S. was giving Iraq “one last chance” to give up the Weapons of Mass Destruction it did not possess and was in no position to build. Trump’s rhetoric about Iran mirrors that speech point for point.
Look again also at the dodgy dossier that sealed British involvement in the wholly illegal invasion of Iraq and of course Blair’s speech in which he lied through his teeth about the ‘threat’ of Iraq and that the motivation wasn’t regime change.
(3) You will hear lots of chatter from vassal states in the U.S. empire calling on Iran to ‘negotiate’. Really?
Iranians knows that
They have been attacked illegally and without provocation after a previous round of sham negotiations facilitated a sneak attack by Israel.
They face an enemy in Israel that has been spoiling for this war for decades and is committed to Iran’s destruction.
The U.S. wants to install a puppet government in Tehran via regime change and to facilitate the emergence of a Greater Israel.
These entreaties to negotiate aren’t intended for them, they are aimed at gullible consumers of the western news cycle - to put a frosting of faux respectability on yet more blatant imperialism.
These attacks will end only when they have served their purpose to cover up the final acts of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and to further destabilise the Middle East.
As Russia and countless other nations know perfectly well, there is no basis for negotiating in good faith with the USA because they never honour their agreements - the U.S. uses negotiations for P.R. purposes and to gain a short-term tactical advantage, just as they did with the sham ‘negotiations’ that led to this attack.
(4) This idiotic attack (for it will serve no-ones interests, least of all those of the U.S. / Israel) will be framed as the ‘crisis in Iran’ but the real crisis lies in Washington. The U.S. empire is falling apart, this attack is another classic warning sign of an empire in a doom spiral of corruption, decay, denial and temper tantrums.
In the latter stages of imperial decline there emerges an ungrounded reactionism, a harking back to the ‘glory days’ when the flags of empire strutted young and fresh. Fantastical attacks are launched as if nothing has changed, reality is eschewed for bellicose tubthumping, dissent is silenced and huge parades are held to demonstrate that the empire is still on top of things. Sound familiar?
(5) Where any dissent from the official narrative emerges in the days ahead (and don’t expect much, the Western media is never more supine and obedient than when the empire is launching a new war) there will be an attempt to pin all this on to Trump.
The idea that Trump is the REAL problem here is but multi-layered propaganda because:
He is but the comedy front man of a deranged group of grifters in various dynamics of collusion and opposition with the U.S. deep state.
This attack follows the playbook of Bush in 2003 point for point and is the umpteenth replay of regime attempts of the U.S. empire since WW2. The old joke being that there are never coups d’état in the United States of America: because there is no US embassy there.
Trump has no real interest in foreign policy, he prefers to play golf and bask in press attention, but clearly he is controlled by forces who perhaps have powerful dirt on him? I wonder if we will ever learn the truth of the Epstein files or the true scope of the Israeli lobby in the U.S.
(6) This attack on Iran will be presented as a proportionate and surgically calculated ‘strike’ in support of global security and western democratic values. In truth this attack was not launched via any democratic process and will:
Further destabilise the Middle East (quite deliberately).
Lead to a resurgence of terrorist attacks in Western capitals.
Potentially crash the global economy via a surge in oil prices.
Further undermine the rule of law and any remaining trust between the western imperium and the global south.
Provide a preamble to WW3.
In short this attack is illegal, immoral, insane, very dangerous and based on a pack of lies.
It will be job of the Western media to smooth this all over so the sleepwalking classes can return untroubled to zombie consumerism, we must not let them get away with it or the fall of the Western empire may yet kill us all.
