With 2018 not even a week old, we
have a shiny, brand new western regime change operation unfolding in Iran.
When it comes to western
sponsored regime change operations, Iran may very well be the biggest prize of
them all. You have to hand it to the Deep State on this one…they are aiming to
wreak havoc on regional power Iran, and deal a fatal blow to a rising New World Order.
For all its hubris and ambition,
this western fueled regime change operation lacks much creativity, dusting off
the same old playbook used in regime change operations of the past decade.
Caitlin Johnstone details how the US Empire is running the same
script with Iran that it ran with Libya, Syria, and so many more,
now destroyed and dysfunctional nation states.
So we all know what this song and
dance is code for. Any evil can be justified in the name of “human rights”.
In October we learned from a former Qatari prime minister that
there was a massive push from the US and its allies to topple the Syrian
government from the very beginning of the protests which began in that country
in 2011 as part of the so-called Arab Spring. This revelation came in the same
week The
Intercept finally released NSA documents confirming that
foreign governments were in direct control of the “rebels” who began attacking
Syria following those 2011 protests. The fretting over human rights has
occurred throughout the entirety of the Syrian war, even as the governments
publicly decrying human rights abuses were secretly arming and training
terrorist factions to murder, rape and pillage their way across the country.
We’ve seen it over and over
again. In Libya, western interventionism was justified under the pretense of
defending human rights when the goal was actually regime change. In Ukraine, empire
loyalists played cheerleader for the protests in Kiev
when the goal was actually regime change. And who could ever
forget the poor oppressed people of Iraq who will surely greet the invaders as liberators?
In 2007 retired four-star General
Wesley Clark appeared on Democracy Now and said
that about ten days after 9/11 he learned that the Pentagon was already making
plans for a completely unjustified invasion of Iraq, and that he was shown a
memo featuring a plan to “take out seven countries in five years, starting with
Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
So it’s an established fact that
the neocons have had Iran in their crosshairs for a good long time.
This is all coming off the back
of the nonstop CIA/CNN narrative being advanced that Iran is a top perpetrator
of state-sponsored terrorism, which is just plain false. I have a lot of
Trump-supporting followers, and I would like to stress to them that the group
of intelligence veterans who authored this memo about Iran is the same group who released a memo dismantling the bogus Russiagate narrative;
these are good people and you can trust them. I encourage you to read it.
Trump is lying when he says Iran is “the Number One State of Sponsored
Terror”. This is the same exact script they run over and over and over again,
and people are falling for it again like Charlie Brown and the football. It is
nonsensical to believe things asserted by the US intelligence and defense
agencies on blind faith at this point, especially when they are clearly working
to manufacture support for interventionism in a key strategic location. In a
post-Iraq invasion world, nothing but the most intense skepticism of such
behavior is acceptable.
Luckily, because a full scale
invasion of Iran would be far more costly and deadly than the invasion of Iraq,
support for this will need to be manufactured not just in America but within an
entire coalition of its allies. This will be extremely difficult to do, but by
God they are trying.
Please keep your skepticism
cranked up to eleven on this Iran stuff, dear reader, and be very loudly vocal about
it. My Trump-supporting readers especially, I implore you to think critically
about all this and look closely at the similarities between the anti-Iran
agenda and the other interventions I know you oppose. Together we can kill this
narrative and spare ourselves another senseless middle eastern bloodbath.
