"The whole strategy of modern politics is to keep the public in a state of fear, clambering to be led to safety." HL Menkin

Extermination by Pandemic; Global Warming; World War III; and Islamaphobia keep everyone in a state of fear now that Communism is gone. Nazis still lurk in the shadows prepared to take over the world. This is what Dr Mercola says about Coronavirus.

Novel Coronavirus — The Latest Pandemic Scare

Chances are you've heard the news about a new and potentially lethal coronavirus.1 Ground zero is Wuhan City, Hubei Province in China. As of January 27, 2020, China reported 2,835 confirmed cases across at least 29 provinces, including 177 severe cases and 76 deaths (including a retired doctor working with coronavirus patients in Wuhan).

Thirty-four patients had recovered and been discharged as of January 22, 2020. The first case was reported on December 21, 2019. According to ProMED International Society for Infectious Diseases:

"Patients' clinical manifestations were consistent with viral pneumonia. Most patients had severe and nonproductive cough following illness onset, some had dyspnea, and almost all had normal or decreased leukocyte counts and radiographic evidence of pneumonia.

Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market has western and eastern sections, and 15 environmental specimens collected in the western section were positive for 2019-nCoV virus through RT-PCR testing and genetic sequencing analysis. Despite extensive searching, no animal from the market has thus far been identified as a possible source of infection."

On January 21, 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the first U.S. case — a patient in Washington state who had recently visited Wuhan, China. A second case, in Illinois, was confirmed January 24, 2020.7 This patient had also recently returned from a visit to Wuhan.

Since then cases have also been reported in Canada, Australia, Japan, Thailand, South Korea, France, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. January 22, 2020, China shut down all transport networks in and out of Wuhan — a city with a population of 11 million — in an effort to contain the spread of the disease.

al-NAKBA 3

© MMXX V.1.0.0
by Morley Evans

It is hard to express outrage, sufficiently, to condemn the United States' support of the State of Israel. Gideon Levy, the publisher of Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, does his best with this editorial. Some Jews in the "Jewish State" are good. Others are very bad.

Trump Declared the Third Nakba

By Gideon Levy

January 30, 2020 "Information Clearing House" -  In a flimsy hospital gown, injured, barefoot and confused, without food or water, with a catheter attached and wearing a diaper, Gaza resident Omar Abu Jeriban was tossed on the side of the road on June 13, 2008, and left to die. Chaim Levinson reported the story in Haaretz at the time, David Grossman was appalled by it.

The other day, the entire Palestinian people became Abu Jeriban. The role of the police who tossed out a wounded man in the middle of the night was taken by the American president, Donald Trump, and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The role of the hospital that just stood by was taken by the world.

In 2008 it was a human tragedy; two days ago, it was a national tragedy: The White House declared the start of the third Nakba. The Palestinians were tossed by the side of the road and abandoned to their fate. Right-wing Israel is delighted, left-wing Israel is lost as usual, and the world is silent. It’s the end of the world.

The White House looked like Habayit Hayehudi the other day, awash in kippot and Yiddishkeit. Does one have to be an anti-Semite to wonder about this? With all the wheeler-dealer peacemakers – all these Friedmans, Adelsons, Greenblatts, Kushners and Berkowitzes, these supposedly fair and unbiased mediators, it’s impossible to even think about the start of a fair accord.

TRUMP IMPEACHMENT ASSESSMENT

by Morley Evans

President Donald J. Trump

Most of what is said about Donald J. Trump is a lie, including this picture. The following has a ring of truth. I recommend you read it. - ed

https://www.globalresearch.ca/impeachment-imperial-presidency/5702279

Donald J. Trump is the third president in American history to face an impeachment trial in the United States Senate. He stands accused by Democratic members in the House of Representatives of abusing power and obstructing Congress.

In reality, Trump is being impeached because he crossed an unspoken red line in American politics by deliberately sticking his thumb in the eye of the Washington establishment.  He did so by winning an election he was not supposed to win defeating two political dynasties along the way, the Bush’s and the Clinton’s.  He threatened to ‘drain the swamp’ and fight political corruption when he took up residence in the White House.  He promised to end unnecessary and costly wars in the Middle East.  Most egregiously, he pledged to seek peaceful relations with Russia once elected. Finally, he said some nasty things about Mexicans, Muslims, the media and the ruling class that exposed several fault lines in American society that those in power would prefer to remain hidden from view.  In short, Trump polarized the United States in ways that threaten the stability of the political order while simultaneously perpetuating the economic and social inequalities protected by the political establishment he attacked.

SEXUALITY

© MMXX V.1.0.4
by Morley Evans


I get offers every day inviting me to buy something that will enhance my love life. "Satisfy your wife or girlfriend with your rock hard erection," they suggest. Viagra® is a huge money-maker for Pfizer. They don't need more money.

My friends

This is something that costs nothing has no side effects and it works. Viagra doesn’t. I KNOW THIS ABOUT SEXUALITY. I didn't learn it at university or medical school. I learned it from my friends.

I don't claim to know everything. I do the best I can. You may have other ideas; I'd like to hear them.

First and foremost: God set things up to ensure the survival of the species. "Be fruitful and multiply," He said. Every species conforms to this general pattern. 

It matters not if one is an atheist. That's how it is.

Women and men are fundamentally different to ensure this. 

Women bear the burden of procreation. Women become pregnant, deliver and nurture babies, raise children, and council adolescents; Women are the foundation of families and human society. Women create a home for men.

Subtle methods into supporting women co-opt men. Men must go out into the world and "bring home the bacon." Men must defend their homes from their most dangerous enemy — other men.

Women compete against women. Men compete against men.

Every species predates on other species.

A woman is enticed into her role by making every part of her body erogenous. Some of a woman's parts are more sensitive than others.

Men must learn to start arousal with a woman's least sensitive parts and work up to their most sensitive. 

Male erogeneity is focussed on the penis. A man is gratified by penetration and ejaculation, impregnating a female. After he is satisfied, he is inclined to find another woman to impregnate.

This only partially satisfies the prime directive. How is a woman to support a child without support? Women must set the "Tender Trap" just like the song and movie with that name.

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart until your heart just goes whap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

In bed, there is a conflict between the goals of women and men that can be resolved by men who learn how to satisfy women. 

Any man, at any age, can learn how to satisfy a woman, but it is easier for older men to learn this because older men are freed of male preoccupation with the penis.

A man must learn that it is his job to arouse the woman. Once aroused, she will do anything, and she will beg for more. 

Young men may look like stallions, but they are unlikely to be good lovers. Young women understandably often make the wrong choice. They are sometimes disappointed and abandoned to fend for themselves.

Young women are protected by their mothers and fathers who know what to look for in a suitor. Fathers remember what they were like when they were young. Mothers remember too.

Dancing, soft music, candlelight, wine, and delicious food are essential. These put a woman in the mood. Foreplay is not a waste of time. It begins arousal, which is the precondition of consent.

In bed, a man's goal must be maximizing a woman's pleasure. He will be rewarded if he is patient and remembers that ladies must always cum first. Ladies want and deserve respect.

DEMOCRACY

© MMXX V.1.0.0
by Morley Evans

John Adams reminded us: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

Crazy Nancy, Chuckie, the Democratic Party, and their media minions are leading Americans toward suicide. The Jackass Party is the enemy of Liberty, freedom, truth, peace, prosperity, decency, and justice. They thirst for tyranny and are falsely called "liberals" by people who falsely call themselves "conservatives". It's a mess.

Walter E. Williams wisely writes this.

Poor Bart Simpson! He must be in the Boreal forest in Canada or Russia. It is infested with nonillions of mosquitoes in the spring, summer, and autumn. They are relentless. No one can escape. Happily, the beasts there don't carry malaria, yellow fever, dengue, West Nile, and similar hazards. Northern mosquitoes will drive you crazy. They can even kill you. Winter offers blessed relief from the bugs.

Poor Bart!

There are some promising devices nowadays. Here are some. Military-grade units are costly but they can keep an acre clear of mosquitoes. They don't require electricity either and you won't have any. I wish I had had one when I was up north.

THE BOTTOM LINE in the story of Iraq is that the big international gangster, known as Uncle Sam, bumped off Sadaam Husein, a small-time hood, and took over his racket. Everything else is complete bullshit. It is just that simple. Watch the movie. 

Uncle Sam has done the same thing in Lybia. He controls Saudia Arabia, the Emirates, and Egypt. He is working on take-overs in Venezuela, Bolivia, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria. Uncle Sam is relentless. He is a global menace to all humankind and the planet itself. 

https://www.globalresearch.ca/pompeo-iraq-if-you-kick-us-out-we-will-bury-you/5701293

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS THREATENING TO DESTROY IRAQ’S ECONOMY by withholding a critical source of money that is controlled by the Federal Reserve. The threat is a response to the Iraqi parliament’s unanimous decision to end Washington’s 17 year-long military occupations. The Iraqi people and their representatives in parliament are incensed by the recent assassination of Iran’s most revered general, Qassem Soleimani, who was savagely incinerated by a Hellfire missile on the direct orders of Donald Trump. Iraqi prime minister, Adel Abdul-Mahdi, and his supporting MPs believe that the US committed a gross violation of Iraq’s sovereignty by killing a visiting dignitary without first obtaining the government’s permission. This is why the parliament and the prime minister have asked the administration to respect the wishes of the Iraqi people and withdraw all US troops from the country.

In response to parliament’s request, President Trump has threatened to impose harsh economic sanctions on Iraq while the State Department has issued a defiant statement that flatly rejects Iraq’s demands and refuses to even discuss the matter. Here is an excerpt from the statement:

“America is a force for good in the Middle East. Our military presence in Iraq is to continue the fight against ISIS and as the Secretary has said, we are committed to protecting Americans, Iraqis, and our coalition partners….At this time, any delegation sent to Iraq would be dedicated to discussing how to best recommit to our strategic partnership—not to discuss troop withdrawal, but our right, appropriate force posture in the Middle East. …. There does, however, need to be a conversation between the U.S. and Iraqi governments not just regarding security, but about our financial, economic, and diplomatic partnership. We want to be a friend and partner to a sovereign, prosperous, and stable Iraq.”

It would interesting to know whether ‘shadow president’, Mike Pompeo, composed the communique himself or if he was assisted by his fellow neocon advisors at State. In any event, the terse directive leaves no doubt that Iraq remains the exclusive property of the US government who will not permit any challenge to its iron-fisted rule. By any definition, Iraq remains an American colony, that is, “a country that is under the full or partial political control of another country and occupied by (soldiers) from that country.” Pompeo’s imperious response shows that, despite the nonsensical hype in the western media, Iraq is neither independent nor sovereign.

UKRAINIAN SHOOTDOWN

© MMXX V.1.0.0
by Morley Evans

Who Targeted Ukraine Airlines Flight 752?

  By Philip Giraldi

January 20, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - The claim that Major General Qassem Soleimani was a “terrorist” on a mission to carry out an “imminent” attack that would kill hundreds of Americans turned out to be a lie, so why should one believe anything else relating to recent developments in Iran and Iraq? To be sure, Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 departing from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport on the morning of January 8th with 176 passengers and crew on board was shot down by Iranian air defences, something which the government of the Islamic Republic has admitted, but could be considerably more to the story involving cyberwarfare carried out by the U.S. and possibly Israeli governments.

To be sure, the Iranian air defences were on high alert fearing an American attack in the wake of the U.S. government’s assassination of Soleimani on January 3rd followed by a missile strike from Iran directed against two U.S. bases in Iraq. In spite of the tension and the escalation, the Iranian government did not shut down the country’s airspace. Civilian passenger flights were still departing and arriving in Tehran, almost certainly an error in judgment on the part of the airport authorities. Inexplicably, civilian aircraft continued to take off and land even after Flight 752 was shot down.

Fifty-seven of the passengers on the flight were Canadians of Iranian descent, leading Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to point the finger both at the Iranian government for its carelessness and also at Washington, observing angrily that the Trump Administration had deliberately and recklessly sought to “escalate tensions” with Iran through an attack near Baghdad Airport, heedless of the impact on travellers and other civilians in the region.

IMPEACHMENT 2020

YAHOO NEWS

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's lawyers told Senate Republicans on Monday that they should simply dismiss the House Democratic impeachment case against their client, calling the charges unfair and political.

"All that House Democrats have succeeded in proving is that the President did absolutely nothing wrong," said a legal document filed with the Senate, which is set to hear opening arguments in the impeachment trial on Tuesday.

In the brief, the president's legal team said the two articles of impeachment against Trump "do not identify any impeachable offence;" the House impeachment inquiry was "irredeemably flawed," and there is "no evidence" to back the House claims that the president abused power or sought to obstruct Congress in its investigation.

As senators debated whether to call witnesses in the trial, the president's lawyers indicated they would seek a quick dismissal. "The Senate," the filing said, "should bring a decisive end to these excesses so that Congress can get back to its real job: Working together with the President to improve the lives of all Americans."

The new filing supplements a brief legal document that Trump's team submitted Saturday denying the allegations, and describing impeachment as a "brazen and unlawful attempt" to overturn the 2016 election.

While providing more detail, citing court decisions, and providing a history of previous impeachments, the briefing echoes previous arguments that have been ridiculed by House Democratic managers who will prosecute the case.

They cited evidence that Trump tried to get Ukraine to investigate a U.S. political rival – Joe Biden – threatened to withhold aid from the country if it did not comply, and obstructed the House investigation into the incident.

NUKES

© MMXX V.1.0.4
by Morley Evans

Soviet superbomb October 1961

Nukes? We don't need no stinking nukes. But we're going to get them anyway. Nukes dissuade the Americans from attacking — so says, everyone.

Precision is more important than raw power. That is why Russia has mobile launchers for its ICBMs. Launchers cannot be targetted if they can't be found. The Iranian counter-offensive to the assassination of General Soleimani of 3 January 2020 illustrates the point.

Iran fired the ballistic missiles at about 5:30 p.m. EST Tuesday, which was early Wednesday in Iraq, Department of Defense spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.

The barrage targeted the al-Asad airbase in western Iraq and the Erbil base, which is in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region. The Ain al-Assad base was used by U.S. forces after the 2003 invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein and currently houses about 1,500 U.S. and coalition forces. [No lives were lost.]

The assassination of General Soleimani was accomplished with a drone which was operated by a human. Soleimani was incinerated in his car. This has been used by Israelis for years to kill leaders in Gaza and the West Bank of Palestine.

Mossad brags that it has assassinated hundreds of people throughout Israeli history. They are proud of it. Mossad is the primary suspect in both Kennedy assassinations, not the "Corsican Mafia" whoever they are.

Iran gave advance notice of when its missiles would be launched and where they would strike. Despite this, none of Iran's missiles was intercepted, suggesting the Empire doesn't have an effective countermeasure.

If Iran can do this, Iran can fire a ballistic missile at any target in the Middle East, including Tel Aviv and Haifa. A missile can precisely strike a specific building without destroying its neighbours. 

Iran could bomb a Likud rally and dispatch Bibi and his supporters. Netanyahu would go out with a bang. Tit for tat. Nukes are not required or even desirable. Why kill innocent people? The Mullahs don't.

If the American Patriot antiaircraft system doesn't work, the Israeli Iron Dome is doubtful too. Very doubtful — it's more Zionist bullshit.

A Mossad creepo or some other Zionist nutcase would assassinate me were I important. Good thing I'm not. 

The Zionist mental disease makes all of them a common danger to all humans, including Jews who are humans, not Zionists. By their own definition, Zionists are lizard people. 

Yes, it's as if Zionists are from Outerspace! They are like aliens intent on taking over the earth, enslaving, and exterminating us. Scary.

JUDGEMENT

© MMXX V.1.0.2
by Morley Evans

With regards to the events of January 2020 in Iran and Iraq, the following seems clear. These events are part of an on-going war between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran that began in 1953 with the overthrow of the Iranian government of Mohammed Mossadeq by the CIA.

That was a continuation of British colonial policies in the Middle East.

As such, subsequent events cannot be considered in isolation. Nevertheless, the assassination of Iranian Major General Soleimani in Bagdad on 3 January 2020 will be used in this essay as a starting point.

Eric Margolis provides an overview here: 

January 3, 2020: Soleimani assassinated in Baghdad
Background

January 8, 2020: Iranian reprisal attack 

Iran fired the ballistic missiles at about 5:30 p.m. EST Tuesday, which was early Wednesday in Iraq, Department of Defense spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.

The barrage targeted the al-Asad airbase in western Iraq and the Erbil base, which is in Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region. The Ain al-Assad base was used by U.S. forces after the 2003 invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein and currently houses about 1,500 U.S. and coalition forces.

January 8, 2020: 
UIA shootdown


CONCLUSION:

The Iranian response to the assassination of General Soleimani was measured and designed to avoid deaths. The United States was notified in advance what would be struck so personnel could be evacuated from targetted sites. 

An order to close the airport in Teran was ignored. A low-level operator of a SA-15 antiaircraft system had ten seconds to decide whether to shoot or not shoot an unidentified object. Why did the Ukrainian flight 752 not identify itself? Were its transponders not working? Boeing inspected this specific aeroplane two days before the event. It passed inspection. Why was the order to suspend all flights ignored? Iran is still wide-open to commercial flights. There are many unasked and unanswered questions.

Iran acknowledged its error and accepted responsibility within hours of first denying responsibility. The United States has never accepted responsibility for a similar event even years after it occurred.

Iranians lost their lives in both events.
Mossad aimed. Trump pulled the trigger.

Iran has a sophisticated offensive missile system capable of precision targetting. In addition, Iran has accurate and detailed intelligence. Iran has a very capable antiaircraft system. 

"We can attack your bases and you can't do anything about it," is not an idle Iranian threat. The events of January 2020 prove this. Will the war end? Probably not. The USA should realize it is not dealing with a mob of primitive goat herders, but it won't. 

"We're invincible! We defeated the Nazis! We defeated the Soviet Union!" They crow, "We can't be stopped! History is on our side!"

Persia was renamed "Iran" by the late Shah after he was returned to power by the United States in 1953. Persia is one of the oldest civilizations on earth. Others have come and gone. Persians have learned how to survive. The USA got started in 1776. Israel got started in 1947. Today's Saudi Arabia did not exist before the United States developed Saudi oil in 1950. Even Great Britain — which began its current history in 1066 — is young compared to Persia.

Blowhards always get their comeuppance. Yours is coming, USA. The writing is on the wall. Read it.


  

VINCENNES

Iran Air 655 (similar)

Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from USS Vincennes, a guided-missile cruiser of the United States Navy. The aircraft, an Airbus A300, was destroyed and all 290 people on board were killed.[1] The jet was hit while flying over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, along the flight's usual route, shortly after departing Bandar Abbas International Airport, the flight's stopover location. The incident occurred during the final stages of the Iran–Iraq War, which had been ongoing for nearly eight years. Vincennes had entered Iranian territory after one of its helicopters drew warning fire from Iranian speedboats operating within Iranian territorial limits.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The reason for the shootdown has been disputed between the governments of the two countries. According to the United States government, the crew of USS Vincennes had incorrectly identified the Airbus as an attacking F-14 Tomcat, a U.S.-made jet fighter that had been part of the Iranian Air Force inventory since the 1970s. While the F-14s had been supplied to Iran in an air-to-air configuration,[8][9] the crew of Vincennes had been briefed that the Iranian F-14s were equipped with air-to-ground ordnance.[10] Vincennes had made ten attempts to contact the aircraft on both military and civilian radio frequencies but had received no response.[11] According to the Iranian government, the cruiser negligently shot down the aircraft, which was transmitting IFF squawks in Mode III, a signal that identified it as a civilian aircraft, and not Mode II as used by Iranian military aircraft.[12][13] The event generated a great deal of criticism of the United States. Some analysts blamed the captain of Vincennes, William C. Rogers III, for overly aggressive behaviour in a tense and dangerous environment.[11][14] In the days immediately following the incident, US President Ronald Reagan issued a written diplomatic note to the Iranian government, expressing deep regret.[15] However, the United States continued to insist that Vincennes was acting in self-defence in international waters.

In 1996, the governments of the United States and Iran reached a settlement at the International Court of Justice which included the statement "...the United States recognized the aerial incident of 3 July 1988 as a terrible human tragedy and expressed deep regret over the loss of lives caused by the incident..."[16] As part of the settlement, even though the U.S. government did not admit legal liability or formally apologize to Iran, it still agreed to pay US$61.8 million on an ex gratia basis in compensation to the families of the Iranian victims.[17] The shootdown was the deadliest aviation disaster involving an Airbus A300.

HOW THE US RUNS IRAQ

by Eric Margolis

Whatever happened to Iraq? Is it not an independent country with a democratic government thanks to the 2003 US invasion? So says Washington.

The murder of senior Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani suddenly shone a strobe light on ‘independent’ Iraq, and what we saw was not pretty.

Welcome to the new Imperialism 101.

Iraq’s population is estimated at around 39 million. The pre-war Iraq of 2003 was broken into three parts by the US-British invasion: the Shia majority; Kurds in the north; and Sunnis, with scatterings of other ethnicities. Iraq remains fragmented into hostile groups.

Its Shia is confusingly allied to the US and Iran. The killing of Maj. Gen. Soleimani by the Americans has thrown this alliance of convenience into confusion. Iraqi Kurds are close to the CIA and Israel’s Mossad intelligence. The Sunnis have been left adrift, without any foreign patrons except for other feeble Arab states.

The US maintains a modest garrison of 5,000 infantry in Iraq and 3-5 airbases, as well as the gigantic fortified US Embassy in Baghdad’s heavily guarded Green Zone which contains one of the world’s largest CIA bases. Angry mobs demonstrating in front of the embassy triggered off the chain of events that led to Trump’s murder of Gen. Soleimani. That an impeached president should be murdering foreign figures is a question that Congress must ask.

Before he was murdered, Osama bin Laden called this monster Baghdad embassy and its twin in Kabul, "crusader fortresses." That is indeed their role, and to serve as the nerve centre for all Mideast operations by the US. Iraq enjoys some of the world’s largest oil reserves. Where the profit from Iraq’s mammoth oil exports goes remains a closely guarded secret.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and its military has accepted full unequivocal responsibility for shooting down the Ukrainian Boeing airliner. Iranian Supreme leader offers sincere condolences to the families of the victims.

Reuters Reports: THIS

On one side, Iran has acknowledged full responsibility. On the other side, blame was assigned to Iran for not accepting responsibility immediately. Russia was blamed because the offending anti-aircraft system had been made in Russia.

Iranian missiles fired at US bases in Iraq

IN RESPONSE TO THE ASSASSINATIONS of Iranian Major General Soleimani and a top Iraqi commander, the Iranians launched missiles.

THE IRANIAN SIDE says Soleimani went to Iraq to see the peace mediated with Saudi Arabia by the Iraqi Prime Minister at the behest of the United States.

The Iranians have told the Americans, "We can attack your many bases and you can't do anything about it." Apparently, this is not an idle boast. 

The missiles fired precisely hit their targets, indicating Iran has very sophisticated missile guidance technology and detailed, accurate, intelligence. It also confirms the Americans can do nothing about it. None of the Iranian missiles was intercepted. Doesn't the Patriot antimissile system work? It didn't protect the Saudi Aramco refinery. These were updated Soviet-era missiles. Iran has newer more advanced missiles than those too.

Iran notified the Americans, telling them what would be struck, enabling them to evacuate personnel from those areas. Iraq was simultaneously notified since the U.S. bases are on Iraqi soil.

Iranian forces and associated Shia forces in the region such as Hezbollah were ordered to "stand down" and not to escalate the crisis.

THE AMERICANS said the Iranian missiles hit random targets without damaging anything of value. Iran was accused of shooting down a Ukrainian jetliner "by mistake", implying Iranians are incompetent, they aren't. The U.S. vice president and the Israeli prime minister said Soleimani was preparing to attack them and his assassination was pre-emptive and necessary, it wasn't and he wasn't.

RESULT: The Iraqi parliament voted to demand all foreign forces to immediately leave their country. The United States decided to "stand down." An American commander wrote a letter stating U.S. forces would be leaving Iraq. This was denied by the Pentagon.

If this 1914 British poster looks familiar, even if you have never seen it before, it should look familiar. It was used as a template for the better-known American poster created in 1917 when the USA entered WW I.

ASSASSINATION IN IRAQ

© MMXX V.1.0.2

by Morley Evans

The bungler that is "running the world" assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani when he arrived in Iraq the other day. The following point is all one needs to know about this. On its face, this shows the United States set up Soleimani to kill him. That is a premeditated murder in any legal 101 class.

1. Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdl Mahdi has now officially revealed that the US had asked him to mediate between the US and Iran and that General Qassem Soleimani [had] to come [to] and talk to him and give him the answer to his mediation efforts.  Thus, Soleimani was on an OFFICIAL DIPLOMATIC MISSION as part of a diplomatic initiative INITIATED BY THE USA.

General Qassem Soleimani and friends

The penalty for premeditated murder in over 30 US states is death which justifies screams for "Death to America" throughout the Shia world. How's that for stupid? The hard-faced men pictured with Soleimani are not to be fooled with by anyone including crazed dope fiends.

Junkies will do anything for a fix.

What is Iran's strategic position? Is Iran a helpless mouse that roars?

• Iran can easily wreck the world's economy by interrupting world oil supplies. Bye-bye US dollar. Saudi Arabian and Emirate oil productions are on the western banks of the Persian Gulf. This oil can be prevented from being loaded onto oil tankers before it is produced when refineries are destroyed. "If Iran can't benefit from its oil, no one else will benefit from the oil." 
• Despite having "The most powerful military the world has ever known," the USA has not won a war since 1945 and it didn't win WWs I & II by itself. Americans think they did. Rah rah!
• The US Navy would be a sitting duck in the Persian Gulf. Iran would be a much tougher nut to crack than Afghanistan — which the USA has not been able to defeat in 19 years of trying.
• Iran has very powerful allies in Russia and China. Russia is a short voyage away from Iran on the Caspian Sea which the US Navy can't reach. Someone should loan the Pentagon a map. Iran has Russian SS400 antiaircraft systems, Chinese Silkworm anti-ship systems, as well as Iranian technology and know-how.
• The United States doesn't have any real allies or friends. It has vassals. No one trusts the USA. Washington is a proven aggressor and liar that stabbed its friend in the back to become Capo di tutti capi of the world crime syndicate. The former Capo hasn't figured it out. He's dumb.
• Iranians have the home-court advantage. Americans already wonder why they should fight Iran. The USA lost in Korea and Vietnam not because they didn't try hard to win. They did.
• Americans believe their own bullshit. Actually, they believe the sales spiel that weapons manufacturers use to sell stuff to Congress. 
• Iranians have trained effective forces for forty years, including Hezbollah which has defeated Israel the other blowhard of the Middle East. Iranians know what they are doing.
• Iran is not the aggressor. Everyone can see that — even some Americans, I dare say.
• Yankee Go Home. They would go home if it were not for warmongering Neocons who have taken over the Republican Party with the Democratic Party run by Nancy and Chuckie.
• The "American Century" started in 1945. It ended eight years later with the defeat in Korea in 1953. Yes, the USA lost. How? The United States attempted to "bomb them into the Stone Age." America actually tried to exterminate the people in North Korea. That is called "ethnic cleansing" and other things. Some in the PDRK say that more bombs were dropped on North Korea than all the bombs dropped in WW II. Wikipedia says this. Seventy years later, the North Koreans are still there, aren't they? Today, they have nuclear weapons. Get used to it. The USA tried the same thing again in Vietnam where they admitted losing and walking away.

Stepping over the dead in Korea.

Former Texas Representative (R) Ron Paul says about the assassination of Soleimani, "So What's new? We've been at war with Iran since the CIA overthrew their government in 1953."
