Jeffrey Epstein: bewakers die fraudeerden weigerden een ‘plea deal’

Als je
in de VS een strafrechtproces te wachten staat kan je een ‘plea
bargain’ worden aangeboden, als je dat accepteert valt je straf veel
lager uit, dan wanneer je blijft ontkennen en dat geldt lullig
genoeg ook als je onschuldig bent (en toch wordt veroordeeld)…. Vandaar ook dat het mij een
raadsel is dat Nederland nog steeds mensen (zelfs eigen onderdanen)
uitlevert aan politie- en terreurstaat VS…… Alleen de barbaarse
doodstraf die nog steeds wordt uitgesproken en uitgevoerd in de VS
(zelfs weer met het ultieme martelwerktuig: de elektrische stoel) zou
voldoende moeten zijn voor een minister, met ook maar enig ethisch
besef, om elk verzoek tot uitlevering aan de VS af te wijzen….. Zo
niet in Nederland en ik dacht dat dit ook geldt voor alle andere westerse landen……

De
bewakers die Epstein in de gaten hadden moeten houden, waar nu
overigens van gezegd wordt dat ze maar om de 30 minuten hoefden te
kijken, hebben een plea deal afgewezen, ten eerste geeft
dat aan dat men deze bewakers wil vervolgen en ten tweede dat men
eigenlijk uitgaat van een schuldig….. Vreemd dat men Epstein van de
suïcide controle heeft gehaald waar men deze instelde nadat hij zich
eerder zogenaamd verwondingen had toegebracht in zijn cel,
verwondingen die hij zichzelf onmogelijk had kunnen toebrengen, aldus
specialisten……

De
camera’s die op de celdeur van Epstein gericht hadden moeten staan,
stonden dat niet ten tijde dat Epstein ‘werd gesuïcideerd……’ (je
moet wel heel naïef zijn om nog te geloven in de zelfdoding van
Epstein, die met zijn getuigenis een groot aantal bekende figuren,
veelal politici, naast Blair, Clinton en Trump ook prins Andrew [GB],
had kunnen meenemen naar de gevangenis…..*) Het is
dan ook duidelijk dat Epstein werd vermoord in zijn cel, echter die
mogelijkheid wordt niet eens onderzocht, althans dat wordt door velen
als feit aangenomen……

De
bekende politici en vips die gebruik maakten van Epsteins seksnetwerk zijn
overigens ‘nog niet van de justitiële haak, daar de vrouw van
Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell ook berecht zal worden als handlanger van
Epsteins pedo seksnetwerk. In de aanklacht zouden honderden namen
staan van onder meer politici…… (ik zal het bericht daarover
opnemen onder het hieronder opgenomen artikel van Money and Markets na het eerste artikel naar beneden ‘scrollen’ dan zie je het tweede artikel van Money and Markets, zoals je dat ook in dit bericht kan lezen)

Zoals
gezegd: het is duidelijk dat Epstein is vermoord, echter of we dat
ooit uit de mond van een rechter zullen horen is maar zeer de vraag,
de rechtspraak in de VS is door en door verrot (zoals je zo even al
hebt kunnen lezen >> -plea Bargain, doodstraf, -de ongelijke
bestraffing van witte en gekleurde mensen, -bescherming van welgestelden en politici, ofwel klassenjustitie, enz. enz.)

Guards
Watching Epstein During Mysterious Suicide Reject Plea Deal

‘Hundreds’ Could Be Implicated In Bombshell Jeffrey Epstein Court Documents

Federal
prosecutors offered a plea deal to two correctional officers
responsible for guarding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on the
night of his death, but the officers have declined the offer, people
familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The
existence of the plea offer signals the Justice Department is
considering criminal charges in connection with 
the
wealthy financier’s death
 at
the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in August. The
city’s medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide.

The
guards on Epstein’s unit are suspected of failing to check on him
every half hour, as required, and of fabricating log entries to show
they had. As part of the proposed plea deal, prosecutors wanted the
guards to admit they falsified the prison records, according to the
people familiar with the matter. They spoke on the condition of
anonymity because they were not permitted to publicly discuss the
investigation.

The
U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan had no comment on the plea
offer.

Both
guards were working overtime because of staffing shortages. They have
been placed on administrative leave while the 
FBI and
the Justice Department’s inspector general investigate the
circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death. The 66-year-old had been
awaiting trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls.

Epstein
was placed on suicide watch after he was found on his cell floor July
23 with bruises on his neck. Multiple people familiar with operations
at the jail have said Epstein was then taken off suicide watch about
a week before his death, meaning he was less closely monitored but
still supposed to be checked on every 30 minutes.

Epstein’s
death exposed mounting evidence that the chronically understaffed
Metropolitan Correctional Center may have bungled its responsibility
to keep him alive. Guards often work overtime day after day, and
other employees are pressed into service as correctional officers.

Falsification
of records has been a problem throughout the federal prison system.
Kathleen Hawk Sawyer, who was named director of the Bureau of Prisons
after Epstein’s death, disclosed in a Nov. 4 internal memo that a
review of operations across the agency found some staff members
failed to perform required rounds and inmate counts but logged that
they had done so anyway.

Falsification
of information in government systems and documents is also a
violation of policy, and may be subject to criminal prosecution as
well,” Hawk Sawyer wrote in the memo to top prison officials, a
copy of which was obtained by the AP.

The
memo also noted that staff members who are indicted by a grand jury
will be placed on an indefinite, unpaid suspension until the
resolution of the criminal case.

Epstein’s
ability to take his own life while incarcerated at one of the most
secure jails in America ended the 
possibility
of a trial
 that
would have involved prominent figures. And it sparked widespread
anger that he wouldn’t have to answer for the allegations. He had
pleaded not guilty and was preparing to argue that he could not be
charged because of a 2008 deal he made to avoid federal prosecution
on similar allegations.

The
Justice Department has vowed to aggressively investigate and bring
charges against anyone who may have helped Epstein. Federal
prosecutors investigating the financier’s death subpoenaed up to 20
staff members at the jail in August.

Attorney
General William Barr — who has said investigators found “serious
irregularities” at the jail — said the FBI’s investigation had
been slowed because some witnesses had been uncooperative.

In
addition to the shakeup at the top of the Bureau of Prisons, the
warden at the Metropolitan Correctional Center had also been
reassigned to a desk post at a regional office.

Hundreds’
Could Be Implicated In Bombshell Jeffrey Epstein Court Documents

Secret
court filings related to disgraced financier and convicted pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged madame Ghislaine Maxwell could
implicate “hundreds of other people,” her lawyer told the court
at a hearing Wednesday.

Finding
out who the people are will take time as Maxwell’s lawyer, an
attorney representing some women Epstein allegedly abused and a U.S.
District Court judge have not yet agreed on how the documents should
be unsealed.

The
judge, Loretta Preska, was reportedly irritated that the sides
haven’t come to an agreement yet. The documents are part of a
defamation lawsuit one of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre,
filed several years ago against Maxwell, a British socialite who
allegedly procured young girls for Epstein.

The
list of “hundreds of other people” that could be implicated
include “numerous prominent American politicians, powerful business
executives, foreign presidents, a well-known Prime Minister and other
world leaders.”

Did
you people not talk about this?” Preska barked at the lawyers in a

Manhattan
federal court. A plan was then put in place to figure out a process
to categorize the thousands of pages of sealed documents over the
next two weeks.

The
lawyers would then have another week to figure out which group of
documents should be unsealed first, followed by a week-to-week
process thereafter to evaluate which documents should or should not
be released to the public, according to CNBC.

There
are hundreds of other people who could be implicated” in the
documents, Maxwell lawyer Jeffrey Pagliuca said. Pagliuca wanted at
least a month to decide which documents go into which of 10
categories, but the judge shot that down.

You
know we got to get this done,” Preska said.

The
hearing was nearly a month after 
Epstein
allegedly killed himself in jail
 while
awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges. Epstein of course
was once friends with both President Donald Trump and former
President Bill Clinton, as well as Britain’s Prince Andrew.

Prosecutors
continue to investigate the Epstein case and it’s possible that
others could be charged.

Giuffre
alleges she was sexually abused by Epstein’s circle of high-profile
politicians and business executives, as well as Harvard Law professor
and staunch Trump defender Alan Dershowitz, who denies the claims.

About
2,000 pages of documents have already been released, including
allegations against former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and former
Democratic Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, who both denied
the allegations. The documents also showed 
Trump flew
on Epstein’s private plane in 1997, and that Clinton flew on it
many times.

Before
SHTF, Let’s Revisit Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book

by Tyler
Durden

Mon,
07/08/2019 – 17:45

With
the Saturday arrest of Jeffrey Epstein – who is reportedly
offering to name elite pedophiles in exchange for leniency, a
leaked copy of the billionaire sex predator’s “
little
black book

may provide some insight into some very rich individuals who should
be nervous right about now.

The
book was smuggled out of Epstein’s residence by his former house
manager, Alfredo Rodriguez, who was busted trying to sell it in 2009
for $50,000 – only to get caught, charged with obstruction of
justice, and die in prison after 18 months from a ‘long
illness.’ 

According
to an 
FBI
affidavit
,
Rodriguez described the address book and the information contained
within it as the “Holy Grail” or “Golden Nugget”
to unraveling Epstein’s sprawling child-sex network. But despite
having been subpoenaed for everything he had on his former boss,
Rodriguez didn’t share it with the FBI or Palm Beach Police
Department detectives investigating Epstein. Instead, he tried to
make a $50,000 score by covertly peddling the black book to one of
the attorneys launching lawsuits at Epstein on behalf of his victims.
Gawker

According
to a 2015 Gawker article, Epstein’s little black book
contains hundreds of names that a hobnobbing socialite
billionaire might keep on hand, 
however
around 50 of the entries were circled by Rodriguez – “including
those of many of Epstein’s suspected victims and
accomplices,” 
according
to the report. 

Some
of the names in the book include: 

Ralph
Fiennes
Alec Baldwin
David Blaine
Jimmy Buffett
Courtney
Love
Charlie Rose
Mike Wallace
Barbara Walters
Ehud
Barak
Tony Blair
David Koch
John Gutfreund
Prince
Andrew

And
of course:

Bill
Clinton and Donald Trump

About
50 of the entries, including those of many of Epstein’s suspected
victims and accomplices as well as 
Trump,
Love, Barak, Dershowitz, and others
,
were circled by Rodriguez.

In
addition to the names above, as well as scores of apparent underage
victims in Florida, New Mexico, California, Paris, and the United
Kingdom listed under the rubric of “massage,” the circled
entries include:

  • Billionaire
    Leslie Wexner

  • Former
    New Mexico Governor Bruce King

  • Former
    New Mexico Governor and Democratic presidential hopeful Bill
    Richardson

  • Peter
    Soros, the nephew of George Soros

  • Former
    Miss Sweden and socialite New York City doctor Eva Andersson Dubin

Some
of the circled entries include additional notes—one address in New
York City, for instance, is marked as an “apt. for models,”
and two names bear the marking “witness.” –
Gawker

When
asked why his name might have been circled, longtime Epstein
associate Alan Dershowitz said in 2015: “I’ve never seen the
book and I have no idea what it means. I was neither a victim nor a
material witness—I never witnessed any crimes or participated in
any crimes, and I can prove it.”

So, apologies in advance, but I want to do a quick little THREAD to explain my theory of what the Epstein story really is. I promise this isn’t some crazy Pizzagate conspiracy about space lizards, just a neat little explanation that IMO perfectly fits the known facts (0/13):

Quantian@quantian1

(1/13) Let’s take as our starting points two givens.

(A.) You are a committed, unrepentant pedophile

(B.) Because of your old job in private banking, you are very connected to lots of very, very wealthy people

We’ll also assume a goal:

(Z.) You want to become very rich

(2/13) The obvious route is, well, obvious: you could just be a pimp, offering underage prostitute services to very rich people. This has two problems: you’re very disposable (see: DC madam), and it’s also not super lucrative. You can’t charge millions of dollars up front.

Quantian@quantian1

(3/13) The second level though follows instantly: You don’t need to charge up front, just get them to have underage sex, and then blackmail them afterwards for hush money. Better ROI, but you’re still a liability, and producing and receiving big bribe money raises big questions.

(4/13) So, what to do? Well, the second idea has some merits. First, you need to recruit people in. Have lots of massive parties at your spacious home (check), invite top academics, artists, politicians to encourage people to come (check), and supply lots of young women (check)

Quantian@quantian1

(5/13) You don’t even have to do anything, and most people invited might even be totally unaware of the real purpose of the parties! But, sooner or later, some billionaire will get handsy, she’ll escort him to a room with a hidden camera, things happen. Morning after, you strike.

(6/13) You inform him she was really 15, but you offer him a nice, neat way to buy your silence: a large allocation to your hedge fund, which charges 2/20 (check). To ensure nobody else asks questions, you also take the extraordinary step of demanding power of attorney (check)

Quantian@quantian1

(7/13) The fund is offshore in a tax haven (check) and nobody will see the client list (check). Of course, you don’t really know anything about investing, instead making up some nonsense about currency trading (check), and nobody on Wall Street has ever traded with you (check)

(8/13) The fund itself doesn’t need investment personnel (check), only some back office people to process the wires (check). You don’t want to money from non-pedophiles, or they’ll notice you’ve just put it in a S&P 500 fund, so you reject all incoming inquiries (check)

Quantian@quantian1

(9/13) A $20 million wire from Billionaire X to you with no obvious reason will raise many questions, and the IRS will certainly want to know what you did to warrant it. A $5 million quarterly fee for managing $1 billion in assets? Nobody bats an eye.

68 people are talking about this

Quantian@quantian1

Replying to @quantian1

(10/13) Because of this structure, you’re extraordinarily secretive about client lists (check) because they aren’t clients, they’re pedophiles paying you bribes, and they also are very secretive, which is why no letters or return streams ever leak (check)

Quantian@quantian1

(11/13) Occasionally you may also try this trick on other people: important political figures, mayors, prosecutors, etc. They don’t invest in the fund, but it’s nice to have them in your pocket. Others (academics, artists, etc.) can just be bought with money as a PR smokescreen.

Replying to @quantian1

(12/13) And, of course, the scam can be kept going as long as people are willing to pay, which is forever. If you’re ever caught, just lean on some of your other friends in government to lean on the prosecutor to get you a sweetheart deal. There’s almost zero risk.

Quantian@quantian1

(13/13) And the last piece of the puzzle is the evidence. You’d want it somewhere remote, but accessible: a place the US can’t touch but you have an excuse to visit all the time to update. Remember that offshore fund?

I bet there’s a *very* interesting safe deposit box there.

Trump volgt het scenario van deep state: oorlog met Iran ‘is onvermijdelijk….’

John
C. O’Day publiceerde vorige week vrijdag een artikel op Fair.org dat ik
overnam van Anti-Media (en dat je onder mijn schrijven terug kan
vinden). Hierin vestigt O’Day de aandacht op de Iran-deal van een paar
jaar geleden, deze deal of:
the
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), werd destijds
bediscussieerd in de reguliere (massa-) media, waar men stelde dat
Iran ofwel deze deal moest slikken, daar anders alleen oorlog met
Iran zou overblijven als alternatief………

De
voorspelling dat oorlog het enige alternatief zou zijn, werd door de
Trump administratie gevolgd, door de deal alsnog af te blazen en met enorme anti-Iran propaganda te beweren dat Iran zich niet aan de deal houdt, ook al zeggen alle VN wapeninspecties dat Iran inderdaad is gestopt met de verrijking van uranium en is begonnen met het ontmantelen van de daarvoor benodigde centrifuges. 


Bolton, de oorlogshitser en oorlogsmisdadiger (die voor
het leven gevangen zou moeten zitten in Scheveningen) beweerde dat
wanneer Iran de boel zou belazeren, het land te maken zou krijgen
met ‘de woede van de VS’, ofwel met grootscheepse terreur in de vorm
van één van de zwaarste oorlogsmisdaden, het beginnen van alweer
een illegale oorlog door deze grootste terreurentiteit op aarde………… 


Een belachelijke uitlating van Bolton daar de VS zonder enig bewijs en in tegenspraak met officiële VN rapporten toch al stelt dat Iran vals speelt, m.a.w.: de reden voor de VS om een (illegale) oorlog tegen Iran te beginnen, is door de VS zelf gecreëerd…….. (iets waar de VS ‘goed in is’, neem alle false flag operaties van deze terreurenteit)

O’Day
stelt dat de woorden van figuren als Bolton en Trump nog amper op
kritiek kunnen rekenen in de VS, wat volgens hem het gevolg is van de berichtgeving
in de reguliere media……. O’Day noemt een groot aantal voorbeelden
en stelt dan ook dat de Trump administratie die media volgt, echter
daar ben ik het niet mee eens. O’Day vergeet het begrip Deep State,
de werkelijke machthebbers, die al helemaal niet blij waren met de
Iran-deal. Deze Deep State beheerst ook de massamedia en zijn
derhalve verantwoordelijk voor wat die media brengen aan (nep-)
nieuws, leugens en pure propaganda (waarbij Goebbels z’n gore vingers
zou aflikken….) 


Ondanks dat een groot deel van die media in onmin
leven met Trump, staan ze volkomen achter de terreur die de VS
verspreidt over het Midden-Oosten, Latijns-Amerika en Afrika……. Vergeet daarnaast niet dat het in feite niet uitmaakt wie er regeert in de VS, al helemaal niet wat betreft de buitenlandpolitiek, neem ‘vredesduif’ Obama die als eerste VS president de volle 2 termijnen in (illegale) oorlogen was verwikkeld met meerdere landen en er zelf (officieel) 2 begon….

Echter
lees het artikel van O’Day en oordeel zelf; wat hij schrijft over de
media is zonder meer feitenmateriaal (zoals je onder de links kan
lezen):

Trump
Administration Follows Corporate Media Playbook for War With Iran

October
5, 2018 at 8:03 am

Written
by 
John
C. O’Day

(FAIR.org— Three
years ago, as Americans debated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action (JCPOA) agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran—popularly
known as “the Iran deal”—I highlighted a troubling media trend
on 
FAIR.org (8/20/15):
“For nearly all commentators, regardless of their position, war is
the only alternative to that position.”

In
the months since US President Donald Trump tore up the JCPOA
agreement, his administration has been trying to make good on
corporate media’s collective prediction. Last week, John Bolton
(
BBC9/26/18),
Trump’s national security advisor and chief warmonger, told Iran’s
leaders and the world that there would be “hell to pay” if they
dare to “cross us.”

John
Bolton (
BBC9/26/18):
“Let my message today be clear: We are watching, and we will come
after you.”

That
Bolton’s bellicose statements do not send shockwaves of pure horror
across a 
debt-strapped and war-weary United
States is thanks in large part to incessant priming for war,
facilitated by corporate media across the entire political spectrum,
with a particular focus on Iran.

Back
in 2015, while current “resistance” stalwarts like the 
Washington
Post 
(4/2/15)

and Politico (8/11/15)
warned us that war with Iran was the most likely alternative to the
JCPOA, conservative standard-bearers such as 
Fox
News 
(7/14/15)
and the 
Washington
Times
 
(
8/10/15)
foretold that war with Iran was the agreement’s most likely
outcome. Three years hence, this dynamic has not changed.

Cartoonist
Patrick Chappatte (
New
York Times
5/10/18)
presents Trump and Bolton’s “deal” for Iran.

To
experience the full menu of US media’s single-mindedness about
Iran, one need only buy a subscription to the 
New
York Times
.
After Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, the 
Times
editorial board (
5/8/18)
wrote that his move would “lay conditions for a possible wider war
in the Middle East.” Susan Rice (
New
York Times
5/8/18),
President Barack Obama’s national security advisor, agreed: “We
could face the choice of going to war or acquiescing to a
nuclear-armed Iran,” she warned. Cartoonist Patrick Chappatte (
New
York Times
5/10/18)
was characteristically more direct, penning an image of Trump
alongside Bolton, holding a fictitious new agreement featuring the
singular, ultimate word: “WAR.”

On
the other hand, calling Trump’s turn against JCPOA a “courageous
decision,” 
Times columnist
Bret Stephens (
5/8/18)
explained that the move was meant to force the Iranian government to
make a choice: Either accede to US demands or “pursue their nuclear
ambitions at the cost of economic ruin and possible war.” (Hardly
courageous, when we all know there is no chance that Trump or
Stephens would enlist should war materialize.)

Trump’s latest
antics
 at
the United Nations have spurred a wave of similar reaction across
corporate media. Describing his threat to “totally destroy North
Korea” at the UN General Assembly last year as “pointed and
sharp,” 
Fox
News 
anchor
Eric Shawn (
9/23/18)
asked Bill Richardson, an Obama ally and President Bill Clinton’s
ambassador to the UN, whether Trump would take the same approach
toward Iran. “That aggressive policy we have with Iran is going to
continue,” Richardson reassured the audience, “and I don’t
think Iran is helping themselves.” In other words, if the United
States starts a war with Iran, it’s totally Iran’s fault.

Politico (9/23/18),
meanwhile, reported that Trump “is risking a potential war with
Iran unless he engages the Islamist-led country using diplomacy.”
In other words, if the United States starts a war with Iran, it’s
totally Trump’s fault. Rice (
New
York Times
9/26/18)
reiterated her view that Trump’s rhetoric “presages the prospect
of war in the Persian Gulf.” Whoever would be the responsible party
is up for debate, but that war is in our future is apparently all but
certain.

Politico’s
article cited a 
statement signed
by such esteemed US experts on war-making as Madeleine Albright, who
presided over Clinton’s 
inhuman
sanctions
 against
Iraq in the ’90s, and Ryan Crocker, former ambassador for
presidents George W. Bush and Obama to some of America’s favorite
killing fields: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria.  James
Clapper, Obama’s National Intelligence Director, who also signed
the letter, played an 
important
role
 in
trumping up WMD evidence against Saddam Hussein before the United
States invaded Iraq in 2003. When it comes to US aggression, they’re
the experts.

Vanity
Fair
 (9/26/18)
interviewed John Glaser of the Cato Institute, who called Trump’s
strategy “pathetic,” and also warned that it forebodes war. In an
effort to “one-up Obama,” Glaser explained, Trump’s plan is “to
apply extreme economic pressure and explicit threats of war in order
to get Iran to capitulate.” Sound familiar? As Glaser implies, this
was 
exactly
Obama’s strategy
,
only then it wasn’t seen as “pathetic,” but rather reasonable,
and the sole means for preventing the war that every US pundit and
politician saw around the corner (
The
Hill
8/9/15).

When
everyone decides that war is the only other possibility, it starts to
look like an inevitability. But even when they aren’t overtly
stoking war fever against Iran, corporate media prime the
militaristic pump in more subtle yet equally disturbing ways.

Benjamin
Netanyahu speaks for the Iranian people on 
CNN (9/29/18).

First
among these is the near-complete erasure of Iranian voices from US
airwaves (
FAIR.org7/24/15).
Rather than ask Iranians directly, national outlets
like 
CNN (9/29/18)
prefer to invite the prime minister of Israel, 
serial
Iran alarmist
 and
regional pariah Benjamin Netanyahu, to speak for them. During a
jovial discussion this weekend over whether regime change and/or
economic collapse is Iran’s most likely fate, Netanyahu explained
to the audience that, either way,

The
ones who will be happiest if that happens are the people of Iran.”
No people of Iran were on hand to confirm or deny this assessment.

Bloomberg (9/30/18)
similarly wanted to know, “What’s not to like about Trump’s
Iran oil sanctions?” Julian Lee gleefully reported that “they are
crippling exports from the Islamic Republic, at minimal cost to the
US.” One might think the 
toll
sanctions take
 on
innocent Iranians would be something not to like,
but 
Bloomberg merely
worried that, notwithstanding the windfall for US refineries, “oil
at $100 a barrel would be bad news for drivers everywhere—including
those in the US.”

Another
prized tactic is to 
whitewash
Saudi Arabia
,
Iran’s chief geopolitical rival, whose genocidal destruction of
Yemen is made possible by the United States, about which corporate
media remain overwhelmingly silent (
FAIR.org, 7/23/18).
Iran’s involvement in Yemen, which both Trump and the 
New
York Times 
(9/12/18)
describe as “malign behavior,” is a principal justification for
US support of Saudi Arabia, including the
 US-supplied
bombs
 that
recently ended the brief lives of over 40 Yemeni schoolchildren.
Lockheed Martin’s stock is 
up
34 percent
from
Trump’s inauguration day.

Corporate
media go beyond a simple coverup of Saudi crimes to evangelize their
leadership as the liberal antidote to Iran’s “theocracy.” Who
can forget Thomas Friedman’s revolting puff piece for the Saudi
crown prince Mohammad bin Salman? Extensively quoting Salman (
New
York Times
11/23/17),
who refers to Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as “the new Hitler of
the Middle East,” Friedman nevertheless remains pessimistic about
whether “MBS and his team” can see their stand against Iran
through, as “dysfunction and rivalries within the Sunni Arab world
generally have prevented forming a unified front.” Oh well, every
team needs cheerleaders, and Friedman isn’t just a fair-weather
fan.

While
Friedman (
New
York Times
5/15/18)
believes that Trump has drawn “some needed attention to Iran’s
bad behavior,” for him pivotal questions remain unanswered, such as
“who is going to take over in Tehran if the current Islamic regime
collapses?” One immediate fix he proposed was to censure Iran’s
metaphorical “occupation” of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. Isn’t
this ironic coming from an unapologetic propagandist for Washington’s
decades-long, non-metaphorical occupation of the two countries to the
east and west of Iran (
FAIR.org12/9/15)?

In
a surprising break from corporate media convention, 
USA
Today
 (9/26/18)
published a column on US/Iran relations written by an actual Iranian.
Reflecting on the 
CIA-orchestrated
coup
 against
Iran’s elected government in 1953, Azadeh Shahshahani, who was born
four days after the 1979 revolution there, wrote:

I
often wonder what would have happened if that coup had not worked, if
[Prime Minister] Mosaddeq had been allowed to govern, if democracy
had been allowed to flourish.”

It
is time for the US government to stop intervening in Iran and let the
Iranian people determine their own destiny,” she beseeched readers.

Code
Pink’s Medea Benjamin confronts the head of Trump’s “Iran
Action Group” (
Real
News
9/21/18).

Shahshahani’s
call is supported by some who have rejected corporate media’s war
propaganda and have gone to extreme lengths to have their
perspectives heard. Anti-war activist and Code Pink  founder
Medea Benjamin was recently forcibly removed after she upstaged Brian
Hook, leader of Trump’s Iran Action Group, on live TV, calling his
press conference “the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen”
(
Real
News
9/21/18).
Benjamin implored the audience: “Let’s talk about Saudi Arabia.
Is that who our allies are?”

How
dare you bring up the issue of Yemen,” admonished Benjamin as she
was dragged from the room. “It’s the Saudi bombing that is
killing most people in Yemen. So let’s get real. No more war! Peace
with Iran!” Code Pink is 
currently
petitioning
 the New
York Times
 and Washington
Post
 to
stop propagandizing war.

Sadly,
no matter whom you ask in corporate media, be they spokespeople for
“Trump’s America” or “the resistance,” peace remains an
elusive choice in the US political imagination. And while the public
was focused last week on Supreme Court nominee 
Brett
Kavanaugh’s 
perjurious
testimony
,
the Senate finalized a
$674
billion “defense” budget
.
Every single Democrat in the chamber voted in favor of the
bill, 
explicitly
naming Iran
 as
persona non grata in the United States’
world-leading
arms supply network
,
which has seen a 25 percent increase in exports since Obama took
office in 2009.

The
US government’s imperial ambitions are perhaps its only truly
bipartisan project—what the 
New
York Times
 euphemistically
refers to as “globalism.” Nowhere was this on fuller display than
at the funeral for Republican Sen. John McCain (
FAIR.org, 9/11/18),
where politicians of all stripes were tripping over themselves to
produce the best accolades for a man who 
infamously
sang
“bomb
bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” to the tune of a Beach Boys song.

McCain’s
bloodlust was nothing new. Nearly a hundred years ago, after the
West’s imperial competition culminated in the most destructive war
the world had ever seen, the brilliant American sociologist and
anti-colonial author WEB Du Bois 
wrote,
“This is not Europe gone mad; this is not aberration nor insanity;
this 
is Europe.”

Iranian
leaders have repeatedly said they do not want war with the US
(
AP9/27/18),
but US corporate media, despite frequently characterizing Trump as a
“mad king” (
FAIR.org6/13/18),
continue to play an instrumental role in rationalizing a future war
with Iran. Should such an intentional catastrophe come to pass, we
can hardly say that this would be America gone mad; war is not
aberration, it is always presented as the next sane choice.
This 
is America.
