larry johnson shows you some reality most congressional critters and virtually all of 'our free press' will refuse to consider as they haven't for years;

So much for the aphorism, one picture is worth a thousand words. I’m going to show you four images — actually, they are images of statistical tables — and use fewer than 1000 words to describe their meaning.

The images of the following tables, which are copied from the US Department of State’s Annex of Statistical Information on Terrorism for 2022 and 2023, demonstrate that Iran is not the number one sponsor of terrorism since 2018, and that the US Government is playing politics with the term, terrorism — embracing some terrorists when convenient and labeling others as terrorists, who are engaged in acts of war.

Consider the first table, which presents the groups who carried out the most terrorist attacks between 2018 and 2019. Seven of the ten groups are Sunni Islamists, and reportedly have received funding from Gulf Arabs, Turkey and Western intelligence organizations. The other three — Communist Party of the Philippines, Baloch Liberation Army, and National Liberation Army — are not inspired by a religious doctrine. Not a single one of these ten groups is supported by, funded by or trained by Iran. Not one!

Let me direct your attention to the group ranked number nine in terms of terrorist attacks — that is Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), whose former head is now the acting leader of Syria. And guess what? Representatives of the US government, as well as members of Congress, are embracing Mr. Jawlani, who headed up HTS until assuming control of the government of Syria. You can be number nine on the terrorist hit parade, but if it suits the United States, you are absolved of your sins and elevated to being the leader of a country...........more.........
