"Real Situation"

Check out the real situation
Nation war against nation
Where did it all begin?
When will it end?

Well, it seems like: total destruction the only solution
And there aren't no use: no one can stop them now
Ain't no use: nobody can stop them now

Give them an inch, they take a yard
Give them a yard, they take a mile (ooh)
Once a man and twice a child
And everything is just for a while

Well, it seems like: total destruction the only solution
And there aren't no use: no one can stop them now
Ain't no use: nobody can stop them now

Check in the real situation (check it out, check it out)
Nation fight against nation
Where did it all begin? Wo-oo-o-o-oh!
Where will it end?

Well, it seems like: total destruction the only solution
And there aren't no use: no one can stop them now
Ain't no use: nobody can stop them now

There ain't no use: no one can't stop them now
Everybody struggling: ain't no use - ain't no use
Ain't no use you even try
Ain't no use: got to say 'bye-'bye!
Ain't no use! Ain't no - ain't no use: no one can stop them now
(No one can stop them now)

We Are, Of Course, Being Lied To About Iran

#Iran and #Israel are at war, with the #US already intimately involved and likely to become more so. Which of course means we’ll be spending the foreseeable future getting bashed in the face with lies from the most powerful people in the world.

The most immediately obvious of these is the Netanyahu-promoted narrative that Israel initiated this conflict because Iran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon. With absolutely no self-consciousness or sense of irony, the Israeli prime minister followed the attacks with a statement accusing Iran of “genocidal rhetoric” which it has backed up “with a program to develop nuclear weapons.” Israel, as we all know, has an unacknowledged nuclear arsenal, and its leaders are presently committing #genocide in #Gaza while spouting genocidal rhetoric.

“And if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time,” #Netanyahu claimed. “It could be a year. It could be within a few months — less than a year. This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival.”

The western political/media class have been dutifully promoting this line and uncritically parroting Israel’s claim that its unprovoked attack on Iran was “preemptive”, but there is absolutely no evidence that any of this is true.

Benjamin Netanyahu has spent literally decades falsely claiming that Iran was a year or two away from developing a nuke, only to have the calendar prove him wrong with the passage of time over and over again.

US intelligence chief Tulsi #Gabbard testified just weeks ago that “The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”

As journalist Séamus Malekafzali recently noted on Twitter, one of the strongest arguments that Iran had not reversed its decision to refrain from obtaining nuclear weapons is that Iranian nuclear scientists have been publicly expressing frustration about the fact that their government won’t allow them to construct a nuke. They want to do it, but Tehran won’t let them.

US Secretary of Defense Pete #Hegseth helped pave the way for Netanyahu’s claims this past Wednesday when he told the Senate that “there have been plenty of indications” Iran has been “moving their way toward something that would look a lot like a #nuclear weapon.”

This claim by Hegseth was swiftly scooped up and promoted by warmongers like Tom Cotton who said that Hegseth had “confirmed that Iran’s terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon.”

Cotton’s claim was then picked up by war pundit Mark #Levin, who has been personally lobbying #Trump to green light an attack on Iran, sarcastically quipping on Twitter, “So, SecDef Hegseth must by lying, too. Everyone’s lying except the isolationists, Koch-heads, Islamists, Chatsworth Qatarlson and their media propagandists.”

But let’s back up and look at what Hegseth actually said. He did not say “Iran is building a nuclear weapon.” He said “there have been plenty of indications” Iran has been “moving their way toward something that would look a lot like a nuclear weapon.”

If the US had intelligence that Iran was building a nuke, Hegseth would have just said so. But instead he performed this freakish verbal gymnastics stunt muttering about indications of something that might kinda sorta look like a nuclear weapon, which his fellow Iran hawks then falsely took and ran with as a positive assertion that Iran was building a nuke.

There are other lies being circulated to help market this war as well. As Moon of Alabama notes, the Washington Post’s odious war propagandist David Ignatius is pushing the narrative that Iran has been cultivating a relationship with de-facto al-Qaeda leader Saif al-Adel. The lie that Saddam Hussein was in league with al-Qaeda was used two decades ago to sell the invasion of Iraq.

At the same time, Trumpian pundits are currently circulating the narrative that the United States is full of Iranian “sleeper cells” who could activate at any moment and begin attacking Americans. The most egregious of these is Laura Loomer’s repeated claims that there are “millions” of such cells awaiting Iran’s orders to strike — possibly the single most bat shit insane claim I have ever seen anyone with any major platform make, since it would mean a very sizable percentage of the US population is actually a secret Iranian proxy army.

The fountain of lies is just getting started. There will be more. Believe nothing unless it is substantiated by mountains of evidence. These freaks have been caught lying to sell wars to the public far too many times for any of their claims to be taken on faith.

We Are, Of Course, Being Lied To About Iran

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

^{Caitlin Johnstone (Caitlin’s Newsletter)}

Arrêt sur Info
Tucker #Carlson (un journaliste honnête ostracisé par l'appareil médiatique occidental) fustige #Trump pour son attaque contre l’ #Iran
Extrait:

Les États-Unis sont « complices » des frappes d’Israël sur les sites nucléaires de leur grand rival, a déclaré le journaliste

Le soutien du président américain Donald Trump aux frappes d’Israël en Iran pourrait déclencher une « guerre totale » au Moyen-Orient, a averti le journaliste américain Tucker Carlson.

Tôt vendredi matin, des avions israéliens ont bombardé des sites nucléaires et militaires à travers l’Iran, ce qui a incité Téhéran à riposter avec un barrage de drones et de missiles visant les villes israéliennes. L’escalade menace les négociations en cours sur le programme nucléaire iranien, que Trump a relancé plus tôt cette année.

Dans ce qu’il a décrit comme étant peut-être sa « dernière lettre d’information avant une guerre totale », Carlson – un allié clé de Trump lors de l’élection présidentielle de 2024 – a affirmé que les États-Unis étaient « complices de l’acte de guerre ».

« Bien que l’armée américaine n’ait peut-être pas physiquement perpétré l’assaut, des années de financement et d’envoi d’armes à Israël, dont Donald Trump vient de se vanter sur Truth Social, placent indéniablement les États-Unis au centre des événements de la nuit dernière. a écrit Carlson.

« Washington savait que ces attaques se produiraient. Ils ont aidé Israël à les mettre en œuvre. Les politiciens qui prétendent être 'l’Amérique d’abord' ne peuvent pas maintenant se retourner de manière crédible et dire qu’ils n’ont rien à voir avec cela », a-t-il ajouté.

Escalade sans précédent entre Israël et l’Iran : ce que nous savons jusqu’à présent

Dans un post sur X, Carlson a soutenu que « le vrai clivage » n’est pas entre les partisans d’ #Israël ou de l’ #Iran, mais « entre les fauteurs de guerre et les artisans de paix ».

« Qui sont les fauteurs de guerre ? Ils incluraient toute personne qui appelle Donald Trump aujourd’hui pour exiger des frappes aériennes et d’autres implications militaires américaines directes dans une guerre avec l’Iran », a-t-il déclaré. Carlson a déclaré que les « fauteurs de guerre » comprennent les animateurs de talk-shows Sean #Hannity et Mark #Levin, le magnat des médias Rupert #Murdoch et les donateurs républicains Ike #Perlmutter et Miriam #Adelson.
