Iran Is Not Our Enemy, Let's Make This Israel's Last Attempt to
Start a War
Most Americans did not
know Qasem Soleimani until the Israelis found
the perfect opportunity to have him assassinated. They gave
the Pentagon the orders and kindly handed Donald Trump all
the credit while he ate
his ice cream and watched it on TV.
So far, Trump's post-hoc
rational for murdering the most important military official
in Iran is that the protesters who want America out of Iraq
after 17 years of occupation did some minor structural
damage to the US embassy in Baghdad. The man who was elected
in part specifically to keep us out of foreign wars tried to
stifle the outcry by posting a low-res image of the American
flag for Kanye West and Morton Klein to cyber-salute. So
far, only paid minions are cheering this escalation.
Qasem Soleimani 3/11/1957
- 1/3/2020
Some of the Democrats are
tepidly complaining about a technicality, that the decision
to kill Soleimani was made without congressional
authorization, but they are merely reading a script written
for our fantasy democracy. Most of the Democrats voted in
favor of the $738 billion dollar military budget, as well as
to strip
a provision that would've specifically banned a
unilateral war with Iran. They were in on it.
Adam Schiff claims he has
mixed feelings about the hit, but there will be no House
hearings or impeachment proceedings over the president doing
drone drive-bys in a supposedly sovereign nation against
representatives of foreign countries we're not at war with.
The war with Iran is 40
years in the making, bipartisan and the decision is not up
for referendum. This goes for all the weapons of mass
destruction we gave to Saddam Hussein to use against Iran in
the 80s, to Obama's nuclear agreement which was really just
a way to collect intelligence on Iranian infrastructure and
capabilities, to the current campaign to provoke the
Ayatollah into entering the classic war the Jews in
Washington and their orange golem are ready to
kamikaze-pilot our country into. The only thing Iran can do
to make it stop is cease to exist or fight. Israel and
American Jewry (95% which support Israel) will never
tolerate a competent and ideologically principled regional
rival.
A
Lion in the Winter
General Soleimani was not
some random military officer. This figure is considered a
legend in his home and much of the Middle East, uniting both
hardliners and reformers as a patriotic symbol. Even
Soleimani's most passionate haters in Tel Aviv and
Washington grant that he was a military genius, a pious
warrior-monk, and a man who has always led from the front.
After 9/11, Soleimani
offered intelligence and aid to the United States
government, but was rejected. Soleimani's guidance was
instrumental in helping Hezbollah defeat Israel during the
33-days war in 2006, which required surgical precision due
to the massive US troop buildup in the region that Israel
thought would give it cover. In Iraq and Syria, Soleimani
was the single most important figure in taking these two
countries back from ISIS and Al-Qaeda. When ISIS, with all
their American weapons, was on the brink of taking Baghdad,
the General was shuttled in as a moralizing supervisor,
uniting Shi'ite militias to embrace the fight of their
lives. In Syria, Soleimani led non-sectarian battle groups
of Muslims and Christians to drive the barbarians Israel and
America had unleashed on the East Mediterranean state out.
Soleimani's life mission
was familiar to those of us struggling against Zionist
genocide against us in our own lands: to free his people of
not just Israeli menacing, but international Jewry as a
whole. His military career saw the castration of the Saudis,
the containment of Israeli expansion, the last-minute
salvation of Christian and other religious minorities,
and until today, a rising, final resistance to the
consolidation of Jewish power over the whole world.
The Final War
At this point, hot war
appears to be inevitable. Even Zionists who have spent their
careers pushing for a war with Iran, like Max Boot and Richard
Haas, know that America has crossed a line in the sand.
At the very least, no American soldier will ever be safe in
the Middle East again.
Trump appears to be a
fusion of FDR and Churchill. He's FDR insofar that he was a
wealthy plutocrat elected as a populist who promised not to
involve America in another foreign war. He is Churchill in
that he is eager to throw away the American empire over a
testicle put in a vice by the Jew. The impeachment hearings,
kept in stasis and based on ridiculous pretenses,
increasingly appear to be set as a challenge for Trump to do
whatever they say
or die in prison.
The US shows every
symptom of an empire on the brink of collapse: an
irreconcilably divided and decaying citizenry, racial and
cultural incoherence, a totally detached oligarchy, no
overarching mission or narrative, and an over reliance on
international mercenaries to fight its wars. By 2009,
soldiers of fortune outnumbered US
military personnel 3-1 in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Add in the war-profiteers,
wide open borders, collapsing infrastructure and
history-making wealth inequality, and an entire generation
of healthy young white men destroyed by drugs and suicides,
a despair engineered by Jews, who unlike Iranians, mock
us as they do it. Let's see tranquility on the home
front survive skyrocketing food and gas prices.
A war with Iran is our
line in the sand as well. All white men must boycott the
military, which is run by people who despise us more than
any supposed international enemy ever will. The last 3 years
of having our rights and civil liberties whittled away show
that it is white Americans who will always be the US
plutocracy's first and last enemy. If you are currently
serving, you can get honorably discharged by declaring
yourself a worshipper of Asatru and anonymously emailing
your superior officers pretending
to be a deeply concerned member of Antifa. Even if
open war doesn't break out, the recentmassive
troop buildups in the Middle East guarantee you will be
a target. Let Zion send its anarchist neo-liberal foot
soldiers in your place!
We must prepare our own
populist anti-war protest movement to bring the war home. We
must remain steadfast in the face of a coming era of
political repression nobody has seen in generations.
The people of Iran are
not our enemy. They share the same abominable foe and
deserve our solidarity. They must know that the citizens of
America are ignorant of who rules them, and that decisions
made using our flag are not made by us.
In the name of the
existence of our people and the future of our children, and
even broader in the name of humanity, we must ensure that
this will be Judah's last war.
Israel figured in US decision to assassinate Iranian general

Donald Trump’s justification for assassinating the Iranian
military leader Qasim Suleimani on January 2was
Suleimani’s alleged threats to American
diplomats and soldiers in Iraq. But even theNew
YorkTimescites
his responsibility for “waves of militia
attacks on Israel” and an attack onSaudi
Arabia as reasons for the assassination.
Many reports suggest that Israeli interests were taken into
account in Trump’s decision. Noga Tarnopolskyin
the LA Times reports that Israeli officials
got advance notice:
Israel had advance notice of
the U.S. plan… Israeli military and diplomatic analysts
reported Friday night while refraining from providing
further details due to heavy military censorship.
“Our assessment is that the
United States informed Israel about this operation in
Iraq, apparently a few days ago,” Barak Ravid, a
journalist and commentator with deep sources in the
Israeli security establishment, said on Channel 13.
The Trump administration consulted with Saudi Arabia, the
Emirates, and Israel ahead of the strike, but did not
consult with European allies, saysNegar
Mortazavi of theIndependent.
“[Mike] Pompeo called Netanyahu, MBS [Mohammed bin Salman],
and MBZ [Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed] more than once in the
past few days to discuss Iran, per State Department.”
Mortavazi notes that State Department releases yesterday
show that Pompeo called the UK and German foreign ministersafterthe
fact.
Last October Yossi Cohen,
head of Israel’s Mossad, spoke openly about
assassinating Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, the head
of the elite Quds Force in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps.
“He knows very well that his
assassination is not impossible,” Cohen said in an
interview. Soleimani
had boasted that the Israel’s tried to assassinate him
in 2006 and failed.
“Trump has now fulfilled the wishes of Mossad,” Morley
concludes. “After proclaiming his intention to end America’s
‘stupid
endless wars,’ the president has
effectively declared war on the largest country in the
region in solidarity with Israel, the most unpopular country
in the Middle East.”
TheNew York Timesreports
that Israeli officials had previously
pushed the idea of killing Suleimani but leaders in Israel
and the U.S. resisted, lest the killing detonate a war with
Iran.
At least once, though,
Israeli officials ran the possibility of attacking him
up their command structure. That was in February 2008,
while Israeli and American intelligence operatives were
tracking Mr. Mugniyah, the Hezbollah commander, in the
hopes of killing him, according to senior American and
Israeli intelligence officials. [Imad Mugniyah was
assassinated by Israel in Syria in 2008.]
The notion that USA acted on
its own, without connection to Israel, is a claim that
only benefits Israeli Hasbara.
MJ Rosenberg tweets that Israel’s complicity in the attack
will never be explored by Congress.
Congress will never
investigate #Israel‘s
role in #Iran attack
& whatever happens next because both parties are owned
by #AIPAC,
which is owned by #Netanyahu.
The president’s decisive
action brought to justice one of the world’s most
dangerous terrorists, who was responsible for the deaths
of over 600 U.S. servicemen.
As the commander of Iran’s
IRGC-Quds Force, Qasem Soleimani ruthlessly carried out
the regime’s revolutionary ambitions, causing death and
destruction across the Middle East while endangering our
allies and interests…
AIPAC seemed to echo Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu, who lavished praise on Trump yesterday:
“President Trump deserves all the credit for acting swiftly,
forcefully and decisively. Israel stands with the United
States in its just struggle for peace, security and
self-defense.”
Just as important as AIPAC is the Foundation for Defense of
Democracies, a pro-Israel thinktank that has supplied many
policy analysts to the Trump administration.
One of those Trump hawks, Richard Goldberg, left his job as
a senior national security advisor at the White House
yesterday; butBloomberg
reports that Goldberg’s salary was paid by
FDD. “Goldberg will return to FDD, which continued to pay
his salary during his time on the National Security
Council.”
Former Obama official Ned Priceis
disturbed by the report: “If true, it’s a reminder that
corruption and conflicts of interest are always part of the
equation – even when the stakes couldn’t be higher.”
Reporter Nick Wadhams explains FDD’s influence:
Former National Security
Adviser John Bolton created Goldberg’s job — director
for countering Iran’s weapons of mass destruction —
explicitly for him. The goal was to counter what Bolton
saw as a desire at the departments of State and Treasury
to weaken the “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran…
That fight was only one of
the administration’s internecine battles related to Iran
and underscored the influence wielded by the Foundation
for Defense of Democracies, the think tank where
Goldberg previously worked, in pushing for a tougher
line against Iran.
In its coverage of the assassination, The New York Times
gave prominent space to FDD’s ceo, Mark Dubowitz, to justify
the assassination of Suleimani. Eli Clifton of theQuincy
Institute points to the funding for FDD:
Perhaps relevant to disclose
to NYT’s readers that FDD’s biggest donor is Trump mega
donor Bernie Marcus who says “Iran is the devil”?
You’re literally quoting
someone affirming Trump’s foreign policy decisions who
is funded by one of Trump’s biggest donors.
Eli Cliftonreported
two years ago that Marcus and Adelson and a
third pro-Israel billionaire donor paved the way for Trump
to withdraw from the Iran deal.
Marcus called the Iran deal a “deadly deadly treaty,”Militarist
Monitor reports. And Marcus has funded many
rightwing pro-Israel groups:
Colin Powell onceblamed
the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs for
the plan to invade Iraq, which he supported. The idea that
Israel figured prominently in U.S. policy makers’ decision
to invade Iraq is bothwidely
accepted— and disputed. Often this idea is said to be
bigoted; and that’s one reason the mainstream press avoids
the Israel angle, then and now.
