War Again on the Front Burner

Paul Craig Roberts

The nonsensical statement below from the Pentagon announcing that the US government has committed an act of war against Iran should frighten everyone:

“At the direction of the president, the US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a US-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.”

“This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans.”

“The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.”

Murdering a high-ranking official of a government is an act of war.  It is impossible for an act of war to protect US personnel abroad.

It is impossible for an act of war against Iran to deter future Iranian attack plans.  Where there was no Iranian attack plan, there now is in response to the murder of Soleimani.

Committing an act of war does not “protect our people and our interests.”  It jeopardizes them.

How is it possible for the Pentagon to issue such a nonsensical laughable justification for murdering a top official of another country?.......https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/01/03/war-again-on-the-front-burner/

my local electronic fishwrap allows me six letters a year, equally spaced. this one was, in part, due to the influence of an email friend who wrote about northwoods in a shorter essay, which i borrowed parts of to create this. this is shorter than what i usually get published but as you click thru i hope the message is clear enough;

The vast majority of polls I’ve seen indicate ‘consumers’ have no trust in the media or the government. Some statistics put that level of trust somewhere around ten percent. It’s easy to know why that is: experience. Those entities have repeatedly proven themselves to be liars or fools. The thing that amazes me is why, when they have no trust in those bodies, they still act and speak as though what ‘official sources’ tell them is true: they show no evidence of questioning the things the TV and schools present.

9/11 was a result of a conspiracy, whether you believe the ‘official story’ or have joined the large number of American’s who see more holes in that official explanation than would be found in a cheese grater. The question is whose conspiracy? Those who only believe what the TV tells them would take an obvious stand on that, but in either case conspiracy was involved: two or more people join in an effort to do something. When do conspiracies become theories, and who is in charge of labeling said conspiracies: Apparently its explanations that oppose ‘official’ descriptions that become theories. This is especially odious when faced with official explanations that aren’t in any way, credible.

In 1962, a top secret military plan called Operation Northwoods was proposed by America’s Joint Chiefs of Staff. The details of the plan were released to the public 35 years later in 1997 by the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board. I don’t believe many people have heard of ‘Northwoods’ because the Review Board release was censored by major news corporations as they do with items in opposition to ‘official truth’. One example: your nightly ‘news’ is filled with stories about Hong Kong demonstrations but they never speak about the yellow vest protests in France. Northwoods was kept secret for so long because it revealed how top military leaders were planning to murder innocent civilians, including American citizens, in order to openly attack Cuba.

Operation Northwoods would have, if it was implemented, had the American military and CIA conduct undercover false flag terrorist attacks on American ships and planes in Cuban waters and surrounding airspace. These attacks would be blamed on Cuba with the help of ‘our free press’. It’s obvious that some, perhaps many, American lives would have been sacrificed in these attacks. The ‘attacks’ would then be used to gather international support for a war on Cuba. It would have been a variation of the Reichstag fire............https://www.hcpress.com/letters-to-the-editor/letters-the-question-is-whose-conspiracy.html

the second amendment sanctuary movement is larger than you may suspect, and indicative of much more than just gun rights for future activities;

Many of you probably have heard of the second amendment sanctuary movement, which consists of municipalities and counties across the U.S. passing resolutions pledging not to enforce additional gun control measures infringing upon the right to bear arms. The current movement traces its origins back to Effingham County in southern Illinois, which passed a resolution in April 2018 calling the county a second amendment “sanctuary”, essentially a vow to ignore gun control legislation proposed by Illinois state lawmakers. This particular tactic gained traction not just within Illinois, where 67 of 102 counties have now passed similar resolutions, but throughout the country...........https://www.theburningplatform.com/2020/01/02/localism-in-the-2020s-part-1-the-2nd-amendment-sanctuary-movement/

'our' government and its 'political parties' illustrating their actions and intentions in one diagram;

the empire is beginning its collapse and this veteran shows you some of how that's been happening;

From Pew Research:

“When the National Election Study began asking about trust in government in 1958, about three-quarters of Americans trusted the federal government to do the right thing almost always or most of the time. Trust in government began eroding during the 1960s, amid the escalation of the Vietnam War, and the decline continued in the 1970s with the Watergate scandal and worsening economic struggles. Confidence in government recovered in the mid-1980s before falling again in the mid-1990s. But as the economy grew in the late 1990s so too did confidence in government. Public trust reached a three-decade high shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks but declined quickly thereafter. Since 2007, the share saying they can trust the government always or most of the time has not surpassed 30%.

Currently, 21% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they can trust government, compared with 14% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. Throughout Obama’s tenure, more Democrats than Republicans reported trusting the government, though that has flipped since Trump’s election. Since the 1970s, trust in government has been consistently higher among members of the party that controls the White House than among the opposition party. However, Republicans have been much more reactive than Democrats to changes in political power. Republicans have expressed much higher levels of trust during Republican than during Democratic presidencies, while Democrats’ attitudes have tended to be more consistent, regardless of which party controls the White House.”............https://journal-neo.org/2020/01/03/america-s-decline-around-the-world-is-it-for-the-best/
