I had something in mind to write about this morning but current events are taking precedence. Last night, Israel attacked Iran taking out several key leaders nuclear sites. Their justification was the claim that Iran was just “days away” from being able to build a nuclear weapon – the same one parroted as far back as I can remember. The US initially claimed they had no involvement in the strike, and had been counting on the negotiations that were scheduled this weekend, but Israeli media stated and Trump later confirmed he had been notified in advance.
An Israeli official told the Post: “We presented the American administration with evidence of Iran’s breakthrough toward a nuclear bomb. There was full and complete coordination with the Americans.”
One of Israel’s assassination targets was Ali Shamkhani, the person spearheading the committee handling the nuclear talks – this should dispel any doubt one might have that Israel was actively trying to tank US diplomacy. Iran has now backed out of any further discussion with the US. The last time Netanyahu told us a war would be in our best interest was in 2002, “If you take out Saddam, Saddam’s regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region.” We all saw how well that went.
Iran has already stated that they would hold the US responsible if Israel attacks – after all, we’ve been providing them intel, weapons, and munitions – but now there are some reports coming in that the US directly aided the strikes by refueling the fighters en route to Iran, and are also intercepting the retaliatory drones that Iran launched. (I’m looking for additional sources and confirmation other than Twitter “breaking news” posts)
Here’s the bottom line – this is not our war. Israel has been pushing to get us involved with Iran for years, and it now seems as if they may have succeeded. Just the other day Al-Qaeda called for jihad against the US and called for assassinations of several people. Whether or not they actually succeed in an assassination or terrorist attack, expect something to happen – be it a successful attack of some sort or a high profile prevented attack that is used to justify our direct involvement.
And if you intend to protest our involvement – why do you think a slew of antisemitism laws are being pushed right now? Through AIPAC, Israel practically owns our government, and if the money doesn’t sway them, then there is always blackmail. Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli spy, said on record that Jeffrey Epstein was an asset of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Seems to explain why both sides of the aisle talk big about releasing the client list but nothing ever happens.
So who benefits from all this anyway? Well Israel for one – wiping out Iran has been Netanyahu’s pet project nearly as long as he was working to prop up Hamas. The usual suspects of the Military Industrial Complex will also reap rewards – RTX (Ratheon), Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman were all up in after hours/pre-market trading following the attack, though Pfizer might dip because Lindsey Graham is now sporting a war-boner and won’t need Viagra for a while.
Just what can you do if you oppose US involvement in this mess? Be vocal – yes, Israel has the right to defend itself just as anyone has that same right, but we don’t need to participate nor fund that. Be skeptical – if you don’t think our government would lie to the people to justify extreme measures, well… well, that’s a whole post in itself. Hold our leaders accountable – if they are dead set on starting WWIII, make Congress do their jobs and actually declare war.
Enough for today, I need to run to town and gas up some vehicles, and it’s Chinese Food Truck day. Let’s see what happens over the weekend – tomorrow seems like the perfect day for a false flag.
