With thousands dead in a Saudi air war against Yemen, and potentially millions facing starvation because of the Saudi-led naval blockade against Yemen, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is looking to act: against Iran.
Iran has little to nothing to do with the Yemen War, of course, but Saudis have pushed the narrative that the Shi’ite Iranians are backing the Shi’ite Houthi movement, even though they’re different types of Shi’ites, and the factions had no known contacts before the Saudi invasion.
House officials are eating up the Saudi allegations, however, pushing a bill that threatens to punish Iran even further if they don’t “stop” arming the Houthis, which would be difficult for Iran to prove since there’s little evidence they’ve ever armed the Houthis more than a token amount.
This is one of a series of new “target Iran” bills moving through Congress right now, with others attempting to threaten them for having missiles, and also for trying to buy civilian airplanes for commercial airline travel.
House officials are eating up Saudi allegations? If so, what kind of officials — not the
representatives of the people — do we have with such low IQ, and even lower ethics?
I suspect that out of control Zionism — now fully out of the closet — is the real force behind “the officials” in the House so eagerly lapping up anti-Iran propaganda. We are trully living in post- truth world. World of Humpty Dumpty and the continuous recrafting and rebranding of concepts, words and ideas, workd of the Ministry of Truth and the world of Babel where nobody any longer understands each other.
This is not the first time in history that an ideology trumps anything else. And that when it happens, truth no longer exists. Ideology — the secular religion — sets out the key tenets, the driving principles that defermine the terms by which everything is judged. And at present, there does not seem to exist an issue that is not first reflected through the lense of Zionism.
Once the post-truth, ideological world has been established, narratives are created to describe “the truth” on any issue. Thus we have narratjves on Iran or Iraq, on Syria or Libya, on economy or finances, on globalism or climare change.
And the narratives get updated when an old ones cannot hold any more, or new ones are created to stir up an activism, then distraction narratives created to reficus media to another narrative if one gets out of hand.
The media — the army of scribes, jumps with the fervor of early soviets at any angle of the narrative competing eagerly to prove themselves worthy of their mission in selecting, dissembling, and synthetizing adjective overfilled journalistic creations — bestowed on us each and every day. The fury of the rage against slave owning founding fathers, was moved away ftom the spotlight by the fury of the victims of sexual abuse, which in thrn will die down by something else, Jerusalem for example. But the campaigns are not without purpose. Monument toppling rage against civil war figures that quickly morphed into attack on George Washington, is off front pages, but not gone. Alexandria, home to George Washington — the surveyor of its new streets — is quietly insuring that George is shunned by the new soviets in our society. The plaques bearing his name are quietly being removed from classroom doors of school bearing his name, or from Christ Church where he was a parishioner. So now, when his Farewell Address is mentioned as a cautionary tale of our foolishness — do not be surprised if the ideological stigma stained its historic warning.
But the post truth world is spreading throughout Western workd — it us not limited to our institutions. The scribes that sell their souls to the masters of the narrative may feel that they are the part of the elite, and in the front rows in the battle against unwashed masses. But they are the pawns that are sacrificed whenever a token offering is needed to assuage furious and ignorant masses. Our neo-feudalism controlled system is based on the control of the money by the few, and growing poverty of the rest. In parts of US growing health priblem is hook worm disease, a third world disease. And this is only the beginning unless real people — not out electronic avatars — insure that control is wrestled away from the glkbalust siviets, and returned to our REAL institutions. And elect people committed only to the interests if people, not the crop we have now — prople to whom foreign policy, and the interests of foreign entities, is top priority.
Who elects these morons? How can the USA dare pretend Russians interfere with their farce called elections? Look at the “representatives”, there in Congress often for decades, getting re-elected like Sens Graham and McCain, gaining seniority and more power, doing more and more damage to the United States. Senators voting for AIPAC resolutions 100 to zero. “House” votes by both Parties overwhelmingly helping to interfere with people in other parts of the world while letting their own Homeland rot, with thousands of drug deaths, police killing of civilians, loss of legal rights, houses, pensions while the banks make even more obscene profits.
The lies spread by the compliant “free media” ensure the sheeple accept this form of democracy.
Eloquent, thanks
I fully expect God to open up the floor to suck some of these evil fools into hell.
If they want to falsely accuse Iran, eh, they are used to it but the problem is that they are covering for the real war criminals, the Saudis.
The kind of pretzel logic you come to expect from a rabid mad dog nation
I’m sick of being a citizen of a country that’s so full if s–t
