What if harsh and
unprecedented sanctions against Russia and Turkey and Iran were just ratcheted up, on dramatic
but irrational grounds?
What if the US mainstream
media described these sanctions as good for US security,
and as a sign of a maturing political leadership in the White House?
What if we had Congressional
elections in November, and there was a chance of electing a wave of anti-Trump
congressmen and women who would pursue impeachment hearings in
2019?
What if Vice President Pence
was interested in growing the military industrial complexand fighting a war for the Holy Land?
What if an evolution of power in the Middle East
led to a gold and oil backed understanding between Iran, Russia, Turkey, and
Qatar that might compete with the more corrupt and decrepit alliance between
Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United States?

What if infamous 2002-2003
fake-news and false intel purveyors like John Bolton, Doug Feith, Bill Luti,
the Meyrev and David Wurmser were currently employed at the
highest levels of the White House, advising Mr. Trump on his Middle East and
security policies?
What if this
guy, the founder of the Middle East Media Research Institute
(MEMRI), was being hired as a White House consultant?
What if we had a Secretary of
State who understood the oil business, but we replaced him with a more combative and
less trade-oriented Secretary of State?
What if the United States was
now the third largest oil exporter in the
world, and would somehow benefit from higher oil prices, brought on by
embargos, sanctions on competitors, and disruption of sea lanes and pipelines?
What
if two carrier battle groups were being deployed this month to the Straits of
Hormuz?
What
if the UK had already doubled its Naval presence at Diego Garcia?
What
if, for the first time since the 1991 invasion of Iraq, Saudi Arabia offered
major facilities and housing to US military forces, including these inbound
Navy and Marine contingents?
What if, unlike in 1991
and the events that brought Osama bin Laden to the fore as a
force opposed the US and Saudi policy in the Middle East, the Saudi Regime
had just recently purged its house and consolidated its political control?
What if that same regime was dangerously mired in a war on
its southern border to re-unify Yemen under Saudi satrapy and consolidate
control over the Port of Aden?’
What if the
longstanding western media blackout of the Saudi war
in Yemen were to begin to unravel, and this humanitarian crisis could be used
to justify a US-led regional military effort?
What if blockading ports and militarily preventing Iran from
selling oil and gas were being discussed and examined by US intellectuals
and reported as rational on NPR?
What if the United
States current debt was over $21 Trillion and
the MIC realized that serious cuts in its budget share were surely coming after
the 2018 congressional elections?
What if Americans who oppose
the expansion of US Empire as a way to solve our problems included both the
“America First” voter who chose Trump in 2016, as well as most Americans regardless of party affiliation under the
age of 40?
What if the job opportunities
for people in the United States were global, and plentiful due to technology
and demographics? What if fewer Americans wanted to serve in the US military, and
even fewer could qualify?
What if millennials decided
that they valued meaningful decentralized work that preserves
the planet over authoritarian make-work that destroys it?
What if economic sanctions
and blockades were acts of war?
What if a false flag event in
the Straits of Hormuz or elsewhere was being facilitated, by way of a ship at
sea or in port having an accident or explosion on board that would be rapidly
blamed on a pre-identified enemy? Wait, that never
happens!
What if a great war was being planned by our regional allies in
the Middle East?
What if a great war was being planned by our own government and
no one told the American people?
