Caitlin
Johnstone heeft op Steemit een artikel gepubliceerd over de anti-Iran
hysterie in de VS, met speciale aandacht voor het feit dat MEK, een
Iraanse terreurgroep, die bejubeld wordt door de Trump-administratie, van de terreurlijst werd gehaald door niemand minder dan Hillary
‘killary’ Clinton!
Johnstone
wordt nogal aangevallen door Trump aanhang over haar Iran publicaties
en kritiek op de Trump administratie, vandaar deze publicatie waarin
ze stelt dat het Trump-‘beleid’ t.a.v. Iran levensgevaarlijk is…..
Johnstone noemt o.a. de sancties van de VS tegen Iran n.a.v. de op geen
legitieme basis gebaseerde terugtrekking van de VS uit de Iran-deal*,
waar deze sancties het volk zullen uithongeren en hen zo tot een opstand
‘dwingen…..’ Waar de CIA ook nog eens met geheime acties bezig is
in Iran…… (eenzelfde scenario voltrekt zich in Venezuela, waar de NAVO intussen een Colombiaanse basis heeft in de buurt van het grensgebied met Venezuela…..)
Caitlin
Johnstone stelt dat het onverantwoord is te denken dat de VS tegelijk
opzettelijk chaos kan veroorzaken in Iran en daarbij zoveel controle
kan uitoefenen dat zaken niet uit de hand lopen, waar het aanneemt dat het Iraanse volk
de controle zal houden over de situatie (in Iran)…….
Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) of Iraanse Volksmoedjahedien: werd in 2012 door Clinton van de lijst met terreurgroepen
gehaald, terwijl deze bloeddorstige organisatie naast een aantal VS
burgers, duizenden Koerden en Iraniërs heeft vermoord……… Deze
MEK wordt zoals gezegd nu bejubeld door de Trump-administratie en
Trump aanhangers……
Voorts
schrijft Johnstone over het ‘fenomeen’ QAnon, een psychologische
operatie waarmee men de populistische achterban van Trump in het kamp
van ‘regime change’ voor Iran wil leiden…… Kritiek wordt
afgedaan als Qanon zou juist mensen stimuleren uit te zoeken hoe de Deep State werkt en dus tegenovergesteld zijn aan belangen van de
Trump administratie….. Echter de praktijk laat zien wat Jonhnstone
heeft geconstateerd…..
Zie
hoe een volgend smerig en gewelddadig spel van de VS tot een opstand in Iran moet leiden, een opstand die moet resulteren in een staatsgreep, ongeacht de kosten in menselijke levens….. Vergeet niet dat
eerdere sancties van de VS tegen Irak hebben geleid tot de dood van
500.000 kinderen in dat land……
De
zo door de ‘onafhankelijke’ westerse reguliere pers en politici
gelauwerde oorlogsmisdadiger Madeleine Albright, verantwoordelijk voor die sancties
tegen Irak, die de dood van zoveel kinderen veroorzaakte, durfde een
paar jaar geleden keihard te zeggen dat de tol onder Iraakse kinderen
het doel waard zijn geweest….. Waar de illegale oorlog van de VS
tegen Irak in 2003 intussen al tot de moord op meer dan 1,5 miljoen
Irakezen heeft geleid….. Kortom de VS zal nog jarenlang de
twijfelachtige eer behouden, de grootste terreurentiteit op onze
kleine aarde te zijn……
That
Time Hillary Clinton Removed John Bolton’s Favorite Terror Cult
From The Terrorist List

I
just wanted to give everyone a quick reminder of the fact that the
MEK, an Iranian
cult of highly
suspicious funding which
is beloved by Trump insiders like John
Bolton and Rudolph
Giuliani for
its extremely vocal pro-regime change agenda, was removed from the US
State Department’s list of designated terrorist organizations by
none other than Hillary Rodham Clinton.
I
point this out because I’ve been butting heads with the pro-Trump
faction of my readership quite a bit lately about this
administration’s dangerous escalations against Iran, including
starvation sanctions explicitly
geared toward provoking unrest following
America’s withdrawal from the Iran deal, as well as escalated
CIA covert ops.
There is no legitimate reason to believe that this administration can
simultaneously (A) deliberately stir up chaos in Iran while also (B)
maintaining so much control of the situation that it can keep things
from getting out of hand, while also (C) making sure control of the
situation remains in the hands of the Iranian people, as many
faithful Trump supporters have confidently assured me. These are
nonsensical, intrinsically contradictory beliefs, and I figure my
best shot at getting people’s skepticism up to a sane level is to
throw a monkey wrench in their partisan loyalties by pointing out
that Hillary Clinton helped advance the same agendas.
So
here it is. In 2012, despite its having actually killed
Americans in
acts of terrorism along with thousands of Kurds and Iranians, the
bloodthirsty Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) were removed from the list of
terrorist groups by then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton following
the recommendation of
stalwart deep state lackeys like ex-CIA directors James Woolsey and
Porter J Goss, former FBI director Louis J Freeh, former Democratic
presidential candidate Howard Dean, Obama National Security Advisor
James L Jones, and George W Bush’s homeland security secretary Tom
Ridge, as well as current Trump administration employees John Bolton
and Rudolph Giuliani.
Whenever
I say that the pro-Trump, pro-regime
change 8chan phenomenon known
as QAnon is an establishment psyop designed to herd the populist
right into supporting neoconservative establishment agendas, Q
enthusiasts always come at me telling me it’s a purely beneficial and
healthy thing.
“How
can Q be bad, Caitlin?” they ask. “All he does is ask
questions and encourage us to
do
our own research to expose the deep state for ourselves!”
Well,
normally doing your own research and asking questions is a good
thing, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with digging up
information about the corrupt financial ties of Democrats and
Never-Trumpers. But that’s all the anonymous 8chan user ever directs
followers to look into: Trump’s political enemies and targets. If
they were legitimately interested in exposing the mechanics of the
unelected power alliance known as the deep state, it would be an
entirely bipartisan ordeal since the deep state controls both
parties. And the Trump administration’s ties to the MEK are just the
sort of rabbit hole Q enthusiasts would be exploring.
But
they don’t. The only rabbit holes they ever explore are ones which
strengthen their conviction that all of Trump’s warmongering and his
coziness with deep state swamp monsters like John Bolton are actually
brilliant strategic maneuvering against the deep state. I’ve been
sincerely informed many times by Trusting Q enthusiasts that Julian
Assange is no longer at the Ecuadorian embassy, that Trump’s illegal
Syria strikes actually took out a secret Iranian nuclear facility,
that the deep state controls Iran currently, and that it used to
control North Korea and Saudi Arabia as well until Trump liberated
them.
Meanwhile,
in the real world, Trump is advancing longstanding deep state agendas
using longstanding deep state tactics. If I still have any readers
left who are QAnon enthusiasts, I challenge you to put the MEK in
your research crosshairs for a while and see what you find.
One
year ago, the actual,
literal psychopath who
would soon be named Trump’s National Security Advisor appeared
at an MEK rally and
declared that the cult was a “a viable opposition to the rule of
the ayatollahs.”
“I
had said for over 10 years since coming to these events, that the
declared policy of the United States of America should be the
overthrow of the mullahs’ regime in Tehran,” Bolton
proclaimed.
“The behavior and the objectives of the regime are not going to
change, and therefore the only solution is to change the regime
itself. And that’s why, before 2019, we here will celebrate in
Tehran!”
These
sentiments were
echoed with remarkable similarity this
past weekend by Trump’s lawyer Rudolph Giuliani at another MEK event
in Paris.
“The
mullahs must go, the ayatollah must go, and they must be replaced by
a democratic government which Madam Rajavi represents,” Giuliani
said in reference to MEK cult leader Maryam
Rajavi,
adding, “Freedom is right around the corner … Next year I want
to have this convention in Tehran!”
On
the latest protests in Iran, his comments got even creepier:
“Those
protests are not happening spontaneously,” Giuliani said. “They
are happening because of many of our people in Albania and many of
our people here and throughout out the world.”
Again,
the lawyer for the President of the United States was addressing the
MEK terror cult when he said this, and that terror cult has
a training compound in Albania.
If it had come out in a WikiLeaks document that this sort of thing
had been said by an Obama lawyer to an audience of Al Nusra fighters
in Syria, Trump supporters would have shaken the earth about it. But
it was said out in the open by the lawyer for the current sitting
president, and is going mostly ignored for purely partisan reasons.
In
a 12-minute presentation titled “Meet the MEK: Washington’s
Favorite Terror Cult”, the phenomenally lucid conspiracy analyst
James Corbett said
the following:
“Since
the US occupation of Iraq in 2003, the strategic value of an Iranian
group willing and capable of performing attacks and destabilization
efforts has been seen as strategically important to the West, which
has been desperate to curb Iran’s quest for Middle Eastern
predominance in the post-Saddam power vacuum.”
That
about sums it up right there.
As
I’ve been saying
all year,
Plan A for the US-centralized empire is not to do to Iran what was
done to Iraq; Plan A is to do to Iran what was done to Libya and
Syria. It’s important to be clear on this so we know what to watch
for. The modern approach to destroying a noncompliant government is
to use sanctions, propaganda, covert ops and alliances with extremist
factions to plunge the disobedient nation into chaos, all of which
this administration is currently doing. This is far more efficient
and media-friendly than a full-scale ground invasion and the regular
deliveries of flag-draped coffins which necessarily come with it. The
antiwar movement needs to adapt skillfully to opposing a form of
warfare which relies more on drones and CIA ops than the traditional
forms of conventional warfare, because they are just as deadly and
devastating, as a swift glance at Libya and Syria makes evident.
You’d
think for all their perfectly justified hatred of Obama’s
warmongering, the populist right would do a better job of spotting
those exact same patterns re-emerging in the current administration,
especially when some of those patterns involve a group Hillary
Clinton herself took off the US terrorist list.
What’s
up with that, my MAGA** brothers and sisters? You guys love Hillary all
of a sudden? Is she “based” now?
Let’s
get real. The two-headed one-party system has found yet another way
to undermine humanity, and Trump is just as much a part of it as his
predecessors. Look at the whole truth, so you can fight the whole
machine. Half-truths are the same as lies.
