The following article offers commentary on the protests in Iraq. Paid snipers killing both the security forces and the protesters.  The article suggests that Iran is behind the killings, however, we classify it as FAKE NEWS.  The article in question is by Patrick Cockburn (October 7, 2019) and called;  Death Toll in Iraq Soars as Pro-Iran Gunmen 'Shooting Protesters'  http://www.unz.com/pcockburn/death-toll-in-iraq-soars-as-pro-iran-gunmen-shooting-protesters/

Mission Accomplished

Before we look at the article perhaps a bit of "back grounding" and a gentle reminder why we have the mess in the first place.  Just two weeks ago I completed reading the "Green Zone".   You have probably heard of the movie with Jason Bourne and the hunt for the WMD.   The movie is of course fictional but the story-line was conceived from a screenplay written by Brian Helgeland, based on a 2006 non-fiction book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran. The book documented life within the Green Zone in Baghdad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Drawing on interviews and first hand experience the book demonstrates the absurdity, incompetence, cronyism and downright criminality involved by the US-led Coalition Provisional Authority. One critic calls it, "a tragic tale of naivety,hubris, waste and wilful ignorance".

Following 9/11, Dick Cheney was instrumental in providing a primary justification for a renewed war against Iraq. Cheney helped shape Bush's approach to the "War on Terror".  Cheney is the poster boy for neoconservative hubris. A member of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) he was also formerly the CEO of Halliburton.

Christian Bale recently portrayed  him in an autobiographical movie.  At the awards he "Thanked SATAN" for giving him inspiration for portraying Cheney.  The criminality, arrogance and stupidity of these people is rightly represented by the likes of Cheney.

 

This is what "freedom" looks like

The neoconservatives still refuse to admit to any mistakes.    In the famous words of Shrub "Mission Accomplished"

 

However, all the "gloating" aside on how easy it was to destroy and kill people with superior technology it will suffice to look at these slides and remind ourselves what a "liberated" Iraq looks like.

This should make the warmongers hang their heads in shame.

 

 

Debunking the Story

After all that has happened we would say that the Iraqi people had the right to protest - especially the disenfranchised youth.  But who is killing both the protesters and the police?  The article (and the MSM) would have us believe that it is IRAN. Here are the facts:

1. The current unrest in Iraq began a week ago after a prominent general was removed from his post
2. US gave a travel warning for Iraq one week before the protests
3. Iraqi Government supportive of Iran
4. Location of protests near area where Iranians make cross border pilgrimage for up coming holy days

 

Perhaps the best articles for debunking the scenario are:

Precedent for false flags

Lest we forget, we already have a precedent with the Ukrainian (CIA) coup.   The protestors were fired on from nearby roofs by "unknown" snipers.  The Ukraine snipers fired at both police and protesters. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-17/another-false-flag-terror-admission-snipers-ukraine-%E2%80%9Cprotests%E2%80%9D

Conclusion

The Unz review is usually pretty good but this story looks like propaganda.  This article seeks to blame Iran and the Iraqi Government.  This is "blow-back" because the US actually allowed Iraqis to vote. The majority Shiite population voted for an Iraqi government sympathetic to Iran.  Oh dear, if only they had left Saddam in power, at least he suppressed the Shiites.  Well I suppose you can't fix neocon stupid. Seems like even Satan has his limitations.  The internet has been taken out in this area, so we have no way to confirm anything but it appears the current government of Iraq is under siege.  With Turkey kicking the USA out of Northern Syria it seems that Iraq has similar ideas (removing the US).  Is the current government opposing US perpetual occupation?  Perhaps that is why we are seeing protests and another regime change is on the cards.

 

 

Just a bit of Holly-weird fun

Saw the movie Enemy of the State (again) recently and noticed that the crooked NSA chief was born on 9/11 (1940). Probably coincidence. But this one from the Matrix is spooky. Neo's passport runs out on 9/11/2001 the day the twin towers fell. The character Neo in the matrix films is "the one" (Chosen one like Trump?) who can bring literal freedom to the remaining human's. Effectively if this were an intentional subliminal places into the film… it's saying that freedom expires on the 11th September 2001. Bring into question the bills on extradition, terrorism suspicion, NDAA and all the other stuff made-up since the 9/11 attacks… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The movie was released in 1999.  This date does seem to come up a lot in Hollywood movies. Perhaps movie executives were asked to promote it because was the national emergency number?  Perhaps it is a subliminal psy-op?   Perhaps it is an in-joke among the psychos to show how clever they are.  Or, perhaps I need a straight-jacket and a tin-foil hat?(LOL)

Every night we will tell you a new fairy tale. This time it is not Sinbad or Ali-Baba and the forty thieves (though it might involve Ali-Bibi and the forty thieves).  Suffice to say that this tale is also meant to put you to sleep.

CNN's exclusive full interview with Iran foreign minister

CNN's Nick Paton Walsh interviews Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in the wake of the Saudi Arabia oil facility attacks that knocked out almost half the country's oil capacity and caused President Trump to order new sanctions on Iran.   This half hour interview is worth watching and is remarkably balanced even though it comes from fake news CNN.   https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2019/09/19/iran-foreign-minister-mohammad-zarif-saudi-oil-attacks-full-interview-nick-paton-walsh-intv-vpx.cnn

 

And then there is this-

What follows next is mostly cut and paste from various comments.  Many of these comments are "anonymous" from various websites but they contribute greatly to the intelligence analysis.  Here goes then:

Meet the new hawk, much like the old

O’Brien’s Iran war talk came at a September conference in Israel – including genocide proponent Ayelet Shaked – hosted by the think tank the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism.

O’Brien talked about US “hostages” held in Tehran’s Evin prison.“Could we secure, could we send in a couple of ranger battalions and secure the neighborhood and send in one of our sabre teams and breach the prison and get our folks out? We could do that,” he stated.  O’Brien acknowledged that “there would be a tremendous cost that goes along with it, establishing an air corridor, basically going to war with Iran.”

“So, that would fall under everything we can,
and we’re not doing that at this point,” he added.
“Although that is something we potentially could do.”

So, just days before assuming his new White House post, O’Brien postulated that the US could go to war with Iran to secure the release of a small number of people. Amnesty International has reported that conditions in Evin prison are “inhumane and unsanitary” and that abuses including torture take place. The human rights organization has also recently pointed to the “horrific human rights violations” including torture committed by the United States at its Guantánamo Bay military prison.

Additionally, it has condemned breaches of international law and “callous and dehumanizing” practices at a federal super-maximum security prison in the United States. The use of solitary confinement in prisons across the country is described by Amnesty as a “shocking abuse.”

The US has consistently blocked United Nations human rights investigators from gaining access to its prisons.It is also difficult to imagine what the American response would be to a foreign power even contemplating a military invasion to free prisoners held in dire conditions by the United States.

The plight of Americans held in Iran is nevertheless serious.

But talking about war with Iran is incredibly dangerous. In addition to the potential devastation and loss of life, it would be illegal and would throw the region into deeper turmoil – perhaps surpassing the chaos unleashed in the aftermath of the Bush-Cheney war on Iraq. O’Brien’s statement in Israel goes far beyond a 5 September tweet in which he noted that the US is “closely monitoring the conditions for Americans wrongfully detained by Iran in Evin prison.”  He added that prison officials “are responsible for the detainees’ safety” and that “the world is watching.”

The Outhouse of Sod

https://carnegieendowment.org/2013/06/14/forgotten-uprising-in-eastern-saudi-arabia-pub-52093

 

100 years ago, the Brits hired a warlord then living in Kuwait to conquer the Southern part of the Semite Kingdom (aka: Hashemite Kingdom) and the Northern part of historical Yemen, and what they did then, makes what Israel is doing now to the Palestinians, look like a walk in the park. 100 years ago, there were 5,000 followers of #Wahhabi /ism, and the Brits, through their huge sponsorship of the warlord and his Wahhabi teachings created the serge we know today as "The Outhouse of Sod"

 

Conclusions

Perhaps you are completely confused by now and I don't blame you.  Part of the problem is information overload and they want you to be confused so that you will turn to the mainstream narrative.  A war is being fought for your mind. It is a propaganda war and you need to treat everything skeptically and critically.  To simplify:

 

Option 1 - it was perpetrated by Saudi or Israel, with no obvious consequences.

Option 2 - it was perpetrated by Iran or Yemen, who now possess impressive skills.

And either the Saudi radar operators were asleep, which is very likely, or the equipment is not fit for purpose, which is equally likely.

Remark 1: Saudi is a dead man walking.....the oil regions (Eastern provinces) are chock full of Shiites. Whatever happened it seems that attacks on the ground were part of the scenario (disaffected KSA Shiites). KSA has about 15-20% Shia population and is primarily concentrated in the country's Eastern province, you know where the latest oil facility was blown up.  It also looks like they also want to cover the fact that they are running out of oil and therefore sell of Aramco quickly.

Remark 2: If it was a false flag why did the Houthi's claim the attack? To take the heat of Iran and embarrass KSA? By claiming responsibility they would slow down any plans to ramp this into an Iranian war.

 

As usual nothing is clear.  However.....we do know a few things for certain. 

1. Israel wants war with Iran....therefore

2. The USA wants war with Iran

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incontrovertible rock solid evidence that Iran attacked the innocent Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for no reason at all. Al-Malki said a total of 18 drones and seven missiles were launched, including what he called Iranian Delta Wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

These missiles and drones traveled undetected from Iran over the Gulf waters passing over the US and UK armada and dozens of oil transports and other supply ships without being spotted.  Then they struck the oil storage tanks from the opposite direction with perfect precision. Luckily the storage tanks did not explode because they were empty...but they gave off lots of smoke.  This will shut down KSA production for months, possibly for years and push prices higher.  

Update 1

Actually, the fires have all been extinguished in less than a week.  The damage seems to be minimal.

Oil output will be fully back online by end of September, Aramco IPO on track, Saudis say

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/17/saudi-energy-minister-says-oil-supply-is-fully-back-online.html

Update 2

The missiles and drones were not fired by Iran but by Houthi's  (if you believe that) but they were made by Iran and supplied by Iran therefore Iran is behind the attack.  But who supplies KSA with its weapons with which it attacks Yemen??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press Conference

The KSA held a conference to show the world its incontrovertible evidence:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now exit center-left, Pomp-ass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fake, Faker, Falseness

It is quite clear that the you have failed the CIA course that teaches you to "lie, cheat and steal" that you boast is part of the "glory" of the American experiment.  Your chariots of glory will be your shame (Isa 22:18) you false Christian.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Drone is destroyed (because I said so)

 

Operators of the drone refused calls to stand down, after which it was;

"immediately destroyed"


Bam, bam, boom...gotcha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where is the film evidence?  The grainy video? The parts retrieved from the sea?  The sailors dancing a jig and celebrating?  Perhaps it was an Iranian boy flying a kite?

“We have no information about losing a drone today,” 
Zarif told reporters at the United Nations before 
a meeting with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Iranians seize tanker

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has seized a foreign vessel with 12-crew members carrying one million barrels of oil. In an official Iranian media statement early on Thursday, the country's military asserted the tanker was caught "smuggling" the fuel through the Strait of Hormuz.

 

The ship’s registered owner, Dubai-based Prime Tankers LLC, told the AP it had sold the ship to another company called Mouj Al-Bahar. A man who answered a telephone number registered to the firm told the AP it didn’t own any ships. The Emirati official said the ship was “neither UAE owned nor operated” and carried no Emirati personnel, without elaborating.  If they were smuggling that would explain why there wasn't any distress signal and why the UAE has forsworn any knowledge or responsibility for the vessel. 

 

So, does it belong to the UAE or to Panama (even the UK has been suggested)?

A phantom drone and a phantom ship up to no good....who would have thunk it?

Believe nothing

It is better not to believe any of it.  The war drums are beating and as long as they can paint a picture of a lawless, aggressive Iran that is believed by 80% of the public they will have done a good job of preparing public sentiment for the need to intervene and make the world safe for us all.

I am sorry for not bombing Iran

John Bolton Flies to Israel to Apologize for Not Bombing Iran, Says He Will Do It Soon.

This is a funny video, Bibi says that it is Iran that is on a campagin of aggression
They stirred up the trouble in Syria?
They destroyed Libya etc?
This is palpably a false narrative.
Question:
Who started all this with the twin towers?
Whatever your theory might be.....one thing is certain it was not Iran (and it was not Saddam).
Who benefits?

 

Stay tuned

John Bolton stood in front of an Israeli flag at a podium identifying him as an employee of the Prime Minister of Israel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Neither Iran nor any other hostile actor should mistake
U.S. prudence and discretion for weakness,” Bolton said.
“No one has granted them a hunting license in the Middle East.”

https://youtu.be/4dSa7-Oe5C0?t=499

He spoke in Jerusalem alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Bolton said he is in the Middle East for previously scheduled meetings with Israeli and Russian security advisors. And he warned Iran that the U.S. remains a formidable adversary. “Our military is rebuilt, new and ready to go,” Bolton said.

Does Iran Already Have Nuclear Weapons?

It is quite possible that Iran alredy has nuclear weapons that it purchased from failed communists states. After all a number have gone "missing". If that is the case Iran could still do damage even though it does not have the capability (like Israel) of weaponizing uranium.

Attack

In a Fox News video published on You Tube on Jul 24, 2018, Tucker Carlson argued that an Iran war would destroy Trump's presidency. Retired Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor warned that such a war would have wider implications dragging in Russia and China [1] and warned (nearly a year ago) that the Neo-Conservatives would use a “Gulf of Tonkin” false flag attack as an excuse for war. [2]   PressTVUK has produced a good video that lays out the events in a sequential manner and analyses them critically. [3] 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Israeli News Live

Israeli News Live has a perceptive analysis that adds a lot more intelligence information. [4]  Over the past decade, Bolton has endorsed regime change in Tehran at the hands of the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran (MEK) an extremely marginal group with no support inside Iran but some support in the Diaspora. Only in 2012 did the State Department delist the MEK as a terrorist group, which is ironic in light of the fact that they recently listed the IRG (Iranian Republican Guard) as terrorists. In other words MEK has been restored to favour to foment trouble.   Both Bolton and Rudy Giuliani (from Trump’s inner circle) have spoken at MEK events at home and abroad and last fall Rudy Giuliani told Iranian dissidents in Times Square that regime change is “going to happen.”[5] According to the video it is these MEK dissidents that purchased Iranian patrol boats to conduct the false flag.  If this is correct then it bears uncanny echoes of the story related by journalist Seymour Hersh regarding a brain-storming session conducted with Neocons and Vice President Dick Cheney where it was proposed to build fake Iranian patrol boats and man them with disguised Seals for a false flag attack. [6] Of course, the CENTCOM video could be a simple rescue mission (as suggested on a previous post). There are many reasons to regard the official narrative as suspect.

Mysterious Blazes

Another interesting and under-reported fact is the Mysterious Blazes on Six Iranian Ships in Iranian Ports  [7] which according to the video was the work of mercenary frogmen hired by Saudi Arabia in response to the Houthi sabotage of their pipeline.

No Credibility

The retired American Politician Ron Paul says that  Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's rush to judgement that Iran was behind the apparent attacks on two tanker ships last week has not galvanized world opinion against Iran, as the neocons hoped. Instead, it was met with high scepticism even among Washington's closest allies. Has the neocon practice of massively exaggerating and endlessly issuing threats finally destroyed US credibility on the world stage? [8]

It must be true...it is in technicolor!

The Pentagon has released a time-line and color enhanced video shots that establish beyond doubt…..absolutely nothing (LOL). It seems to me more likely that the video was originally in color and then deliberately degraded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you apparently see are a number of Iranian special forces (in high visibility life-jackets) rescuing the crew removing a mine.  It is interesting that the patrol boat is alongside the T-with-arrow marking as this is exactly amidships and therefore has the least roll and sway for attaching a Jacob’s rescue ladder.[1]   Notice the time stamp (13:18) and the very long shadows (sun should be overhead casting small shadows) notice the white draft gauge markings (not present on the CENTCOM image of the current tanker). Even if the story is true (sic) the Iranians are removing mines not placing them.  If they are removing a mine they are doing it in an incredibly stupid, nonchalant and unprofessional manner. Of course this critique has already been per-empted by the ABC;

“The officials described the attempt to remove the unexploded
 mine in the way shown in the images as "very high risk"
and not a way that the U.S. Navy would have ever undertaken.
According to those officials they would have removed the mine
remotely with as few personnel around the ship as possible”.

So, the Iranians who supposedly planted the mine were too stupid to know how to safely remove it (LOL).
