WHISPERS LEADING TO DEATH AND DESTRUCTION

Beware of the murderous influence and criminal power of the United States and its Zionist whisperers!

Murderous Influence – The Criminal Power Of The United States And Its Zionist Whisperers

By Evelyn Hecht-Galinski

 

We should beware of the murderous states of the United States and Israel, where blatant violations of the law have long since become “normal” and which describe the degree of criminalization of US and Zionist foreign policy; this is happening in an increasingly blatant, unscrupulous way that should make us all deeply concerned, especially since the German government and Europe are increasingly orienting towards this. When the EPP parliamentary group leader in the EU Parliament, Manfred Weber, in an interview on ZDF on Sunday evening (Iran) refers to Iran as a “terrorist regime” and more commitment to “coping” with the Iran crisis also “alongside the USA” calls, and speaks with incomprehensible numbers of the public “murder of 10,000 homosexuals”, then it joins the Israeli mythical fairy tale of “Holocaust planning” against the “Jewish state” or the mistranslation that Ahmadinejad allegedly demanded “to sweep Israel off the map”. These false reports are launched to discredit Iran.

Accidental plane shoot-down: consequence of murderous US threats

What we are currently experiencing is more than borderline. The brutal US assassination attempt on a senior Iranian takes a back seat, instead focusing on the tragic inadvertent shooting down of the plane. One must not forget that this panicked, deadly wrong reaction certainly has to do with the murderous US threats and shows the pressure that the Iranian government was under. After all, the Iranian authorities apologized for this terrible misfortune, which the USA categorically rejected in 1988 after shooting down an Iranian plane with 290 people on board!

The murder of Soleimani brought millions of people to the streets in Iran, and then thousands of Iranians protest against the Iranian government for their days of silence, which is indeed inexcusable! As is to be expected, this will once again be exploited in this country with a western anti-Iran mood. This is more than counterproductive for the credibility of our media. The “manipulation of silence”, as described by Jens Berger in the pondering pages, has unfortunately become the normality of the “gap press”. (1) (2) (3)

As it turns out now, the cowardly and sneaky assassination of General Soleimani had nothing to do with an “imminent” threat of an attack on four US embassies, and according to his Secretary of War Esper, it was not only unconfirmed, but there was no information that within a few days there would be an attack of this magnitude. This also failed the last pitiful attempt to justify this murder with current threats and struggle in the “war on terror”. Fortunately, the United States apparently failed with an attack on another Iranian commander that was planned at the same time. Everything smells of the DNA of the Netanyahu regime in the background, who surely knows only too well how many murderous joint commands are still on the way. The continued strong determination of the Netanyahu regime to weaken Iran and to launch attacks and bombings against Syria and Iraq is likely to lead to further attacks. (4)

Bolton and Pompeo: drivers of the murder plans

It was an act of revenge by the Trump administration for the setbacks it suffered from clever generals like Soleimani. For months, even after Bolton left, “Tea Party” Foreign Minister Pompeo and other hardliners had been retaliatory against the Al-Quds Brigade and its leaders. The Netanyahu regime has also been pushing for blows against Iran and Soleimani since the start of the Trump election, as one of the most important hatred figures.

Bolton, as the driving force, tried everything to implement these murder plans and put his greatest emphasis on Soleimani and other important Iranian leaders. As reported by various media, it was Lebanese Hezbollah leader Nasrallah who warned Soleimani that the media and political assassination was in preparation and in the final stages. Hezbollah and its charismatic leader are also a special enemy of the Zionist occupying regime because the Zionists failed in Lebanon. The “butcher of Lebanon” Sharon also experienced his Waterloo in Lebanon despite all the war crimes. Today, the Netanyahu regime, with its numerous air strikes against Syria, Lebanon and Gaza, has continued the trail of war crimes and is far from over. Iran has been targeted for years, According to “Israel Today”, the nuclear facilities through the USA are already in “bearing”. The nuclear power Israel, and therefore by no means threatened, does not tolerate a second one next to it and, unlike Iran, does not let its huge nuclear arsenal be controlled and persistently refuses to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty – accepted without contradiction by the so-called “Western community of values”. Iran is repeatedly urged to comply with the nuclear deal, even though the United States has broken it. So far, the EU has done nothing to deliver Iran the promised aid payments through Instex. Much ado about nothing, typical of this disgraceful Meuse and EU policy. (5) does not tolerate a second person next to them and does not allow their huge nuclear arsenal to be controlled, unlike Iran, and persistently refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty – unreservedly accepted by the so-called “Western community of values”. Iran is repeatedly urged to comply with the nuclear deal, even though the United States has broken it. So far, the EU has done nothing to deliver Iran the promised aid payments through Instex. Much ado about nothing, typical of this disgraceful Meuse and EU policy. (5) does not tolerate a second person next to them and does not allow their huge nuclear arsenal to be controlled, unlike Iran, and persistently refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty – unreservedly accepted by the so-called “Western community of values”. Iran is repeatedly urged to comply with the nuclear deal, even though the United States has broken it. So far, the EU has done nothing to deliver Iran the promised aid payments through Instex. Much ado about nothing, typical of this disgraceful Meuse and EU policy. (5) So far, the EU has done nothing to deliver Iran the promised aid payments through Instex. Much ado about nothing, typical of this disgraceful Meuse and EU policy. (5) So far, the EU has done nothing to deliver Iran the promised aid payments through Instex. Much ado about nothing, typical of this disgraceful Meuse and EU policy. (5)

Among other things, it was the same CIA forces as Gina Haspel who already carried out the illegal operations of torture and evidence destruction under Bush Jr. Times. (6)

Trump and Netanyahu: brothers in spirit

Trump, who is facing an impeachment procedure (impeachment) by the Democrats, is making every effort to escape it and to secure the support of the Republican Falcons in the Senate. This is the only way Trump believes to secure the favor of his voters, as well as his second term, and to gain domestic political benefits.

We experience the same thing with the Zionist friend and brother in the spirit of Netanyahu, who tries everything to avoid an impending corruption lawsuit and has no scruples, even to have the Israeli Parliament (Knesset) certify immunity in order to be undisturbed by processes for the upcoming third elections to win and stay prime minister.

We are dealing with the double abuse of international crimes and domestic political self-interest. In fact, the targeted assassination attempt also violates the US Constitution (Bill of Rights), which explicitly states that “nobody can be robbed of life, liberty, or property without a due process of justice”. (7)

“No US Government Employee May Participate in Political Murder”

So it is thanks to the “Church Commission”, named after Senator Frank Church, that attacks against foreign leaders were uncovered and forced the then US President Gerald Ford to sign Executive Order 11905 in 1976, which says : “No US government employee is allowed to participate in or prepare for a political murder.” (8) (9)

We are experiencing what has become of this ever more intensely. It is the moral brutalization of all values ​​and overrides all democratic norms. The more politicians point to values ​​and a supposed “fight against terror”, the more mendacious and ruthless they are.

Let us not forget that General Soleimani was one of Iran’s most respected and important government officials and was on an equal footing with his US counterparts in the fight against IS. This fact ignores the Western propaganda machinery and prefers to speak of a “terrorist”. That is why Trump can refer to Soleimani as a “sadistic mass murderer” who would have had “thousands” of people on his conscience and who should have been eliminated for a long time. This is part of the many Trump lies and sick Twitter messages that have no basis other than hatred and self-interest.

Sequence of 9/11: System of massive Orwellian surveillance

Since September 11, 2001 (9/11), the unresolved attacks have been used to overthrow all democratic rights and international law. A system of massive Orwellian surveillance has been installed, stretching from the United States to Europe and Germany. Already under the “drone king” Obama it came out that even Merkel’s cell phone had been monitored by the US secret service. However, this was obediently swept under the table, since it was the “American friends”.

Since then there has been the unbridled “fight against terror”, which was only used to stir up hatred of Muslims in such a way that it has spread like the worst epidemic of all time. The fact is that the spread of IS or al-Qaida was a direct result of the US wars and interventions, plunging millions of people into death and misery. Supported by at least $ 1 billion in weapons such groups were given to fuel the war, such as in Syria, while large sections of the population were impoverished. The “Jewish State” also pursued the support of such terrorist groups.

What do we still have to do? After all, the “Jewish State” is the most important ally of the US imperialists under Trump. In line with the staging of the “New American Century” think tank, which is pushing for regime change throughout the region in order to secure American and Israeli dominance.

A comprehensive war threatens against Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the Palestinians

Columbia University’s Joseph Massad recently wrote that the recent US-sponsored moves to formal “non-aggression pacts” between Israel and certain Gulf states are a preparatory step for a full-scale war against Iran and Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and the Palestinians could be.

For example, the United States invaded Iraq illegally, disregarding the UN and unleashing a war against international law with “poison gas lies”. Even then, Netanyahu was one of the main “pullers” and accomplices of these deadly lies. Everything repeats itself: lies are followed by wars, targeted murders and torture. All in the name of “Christian-Jewish values”, in the fight against “terrorist-unworthy-Muslims”. The only exceptions are, according to “Feldmarschall Göring”: “Whoever is a Jew, we determine” and some have been made “Honorary Aryans”, so there are “Honorary Muslims” of friendly states such as Saudi Arabia or Egypt at will.

Who does not remember how Trump’s predecessor in office, Obama, was worshiped in Germany, who later expanded as the “drone king Obomba” to the countless crimes of the Bush era and had more than 500 drone attacks carried out with tens of thousands of murder victims in the Middle East and personally in the so-called “Killing Tuesday” selected the people who then ended up as tattered murder victims. Many European countries were initiated and silent helpers in the murder, as was Germany with Ramstein as a US drone base. From the Desert Storm to Soleimani there is a murderous blood trail in the USA, made possible by German help! (10) (11) (12)

Obama even went so far as to have innocent US citizens like Anwar al-Awlaki murdered in Yemen, and what a coincidence that the 16-year-old’s sister was later “killed” under Trump. (13)

The “Jewish State”: Master in targeted murder

The state murder is cruel “normalcy” in US politics. This form of “targeted murder” was optimized by the “Jewish State” and, as the investigative reporter for the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth Ronen Bergmann writes in his book “The Shadow War”, there has been no other country in the “western” since the end of the Second World War Community of values ​​”except Israel, that has more“ targeted murders ”on the conscience. The “Jewish State” is a master in targeted murder and “no Israeli can claim that he knew nothing of what was happening in his name.” (14)

When assassination squads and helicopters were sent out during the second Intifada to “eliminate” Palestinian politicians, this was confirmed by the UN, “Murders against the Fourth Geneva Convention”, Article 147 and violation of “International Humanitarian Law”. At that time, the United States and the Europeans still distanced themselves from this Israeli murder policy. Today this is copied or supported by some states (Ramstein).

Through this targeted murder policy, regime changes and economic wars, which have desperate people demonstrated, and through targeted infiltration tactics such as in Ukraine, Venezuela, Hong Kong or Iran, one wants to consciously secure Western supremacy, with all dirty means of this ” clean policy.

So beware of the murderous influence and criminal power of the United States and its Zionist whisperers!

PARTNERS IN (WAR) CRIMES …… THE OFFICIAL VERSION

Israeli intel helped US carry out strike that killed Iran’s Soleimani — report

Information provided by Jewish state confirmed that Quds Force leader was at Baghdad airport before missile strike, NBC News reports

Israel helped the United States in the operation that resulted in the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the powerful head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, a US report said over the weekend.

According to an NBC News report late Friday, the Jewish state was involved in the January 3 operation, handing the Americans key intelligence details.

The information helped confirm intelligence provided by informants at a Syrian airport that Soleimani had been on a nighttime flight from Damascus to Baghdad, the report said, quoting two sources with direct knowledge of the operation and other US officials briefed on it.

After his plane landed, it was a simple matter of using drones to track him exiting the aircraft and entering a car, which was later targeted with four missiles.

Israeli media reported the day after the strike that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had briefed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of time about the US plans to kill Soleimani.

Pompeo phoned Netanyahu on January 1, ostensibly to thank him for Israel’s support in efforts to combat Iran and after the attack on the US embassy in Iraq.

Before departing for Athens the following morning, Netanyahu alluded to “very, very dramatic things” happening in the region.

“We know that our region is stormy; very, very dramatic things are happening in it. We are alert and are monitoring the situation. We are in continuous contact with our great friend the US, including my conversation yesterday afternoon,” he told reporters at Ben Gurion International Airport.

Hours later, Soleimani and several top officials from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were killed in the airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport, along with an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia commander.

Netanyahu had been the only non-US leader who appeared in the know about the planned operation beforehand, the New York Times reported Saturday.

The Reuters news agency reported Thursday that a series of Syrian and Iraqi informants are suspected of providing the US with the information that led to Soleimani’s killing.

The suspected informants — two security employees at Baghdad airport and two workers in private Syrian airline Cham Wings — gave the intelligence about Soleimani’s secret flight from Damascus to Baghdad, the report said, quoting security officials, Baghdad airport employees and Cham Wings employees.

Tensions between Tehran and Washington have risen significantly since the US carried out the airstrike that killed Soleimani. In the wake of the killing, the Iraqi parliament voted to press the government to expel US troops from the country and Iran announced that it will no longer abide by any of the limits of its 2015 nuclear deal.

Last week, a former leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa could be targeted to avenge Soleimani after previously alleging that Israel leaked information about Soleimani’s whereabouts to US forces.

The US launched the airstrike that killed the Iranian general after a US defense contractor was killed and several American and Iraqi troops were wounded in a rocket attack in northern Iraq which was in turn launched in retaliation for US airstrike which killed Iranian-backed militants at several sites in Syria and Iraq. Supporters of the militant group subsequently broke into the US embassy in Baghdad.

 

THE HAGUE AWAITS THESE TWO CRIMINALS

For a long time, the Netanyahu regime has been trying to bring Trump’s US into a confrontation course with Iran, as has already been seen when the US unilaterally canceled its nuclear deal.

Trump and Netanyahu belong to the International Criminal Court as war criminals

by Evelyn Hecht-Galinski

If one reads leading German media, then after Trump’s murder of the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani it is only about the security of the “Jewish state”, and once again shows the one-sided philosemic sentiment and the associated criminal empathy and disrespect towards the Arab-Iranian-Muslim world.

An infamous and unjustifiable murder

Neither the United States nor the “Jewish state, which has been campaigning against Iran for years, has done itself any favors with this infamous and unjustifiable murder of one of Iran’s leading figures. No matter how much the politicians from Netanyahu to so-called “opposition politicians” cheer about it, the vast majority of our society has again witnessed the unscrupulousness with which US state terrorist leaders Trump and Netanyahu try to distract themselves from their internal difficulties in the country in order to win elections ,

Clearly the DNA of the “Jewish State”

This assassination attempt clearly bears the DNA of the “Jewish State” as the puller. Hadn’t Trump called Netanyahu before he told anyone about his terrible plan to get instructions on what was rumored, and the Mossad hadn’t had the murder victim on his killing list for years after several plots to murder Soleimani had been blown off ? Several Arab media outlets, such as “Israel Today”, did not report about the last minute attempt to murder Soleimani when he wanted to visit the shrine in memory of his late father, but did the Iranian authorities discover a 500kg bomb under a chair intended for him after a warning? In 2008 Soleimani was already targeting the murderer on the occasion of his meeting in Damascus with Hezbollah leader Imad Mugniyeh, whom the Mossad murdered. (1)

United in jubilation over Trump’s murder

The “Jewish State” is united in jubilation over Trump’s murder, and that’s the most terrifying thing that should affect us all. This terrible propaganda, which does not shy away from insulting Soleimani while still dead and praising his own strength. Both the Zionist and the US regime have lost all morality and left the last spark of decency behind. With the public threat of a war crime to attack Iran’s cultural heritage, Trump reveals himself to be a primitive, vile and, above all, culture-less person for whom the rule of law and human dignity do not count. Human rights do not apply to him, only self-interest counts for him. (2) (3)

Go into history as a martyr

General Qassem Soleimani was a smart opponent of criminal and murderous US politics, and he did a great job as the commander of the al-Quds brigades. He, who began his military career in the wake of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, was considered a son by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and appointed him as a special advisor. It was Soleimani who, with his foresight, was able to prevent many sinister regime change plans from Syria to Lebanon. It was this intellectual prudence and his ability that made him the number one enemy of the state for the “Jewish Occupier State” and the United States. He will go down in history as a martyr, and Iran will surely respond to this breach of international law and war-murderous assassination in his best sense.

It was an impressive and moving funeral ceremony in Iran that united the people and welded them together even more in pain at the loss. Millions of people thought of this brave martyr and great Iranian. (4)

Nor can one be reminded enough that, unlike the United States and Israel, Iran has not yet started any devastating wars with hundreds of thousands of deaths. Iran is not the monster state, but the criminal USA and its Zionist murderous accomplices who want to drag us into their wars and war crimes regardless of losses.

They act completely unscrupulous and treat their country, states and people like lifeless extras who only have to wait for their orders. You can literally see how Trump almost childishly divides his world like in Monopoly and wants to steer with his limited “dealer image”. He now shamelessly copies everything he accused the “drone king” Obama of campaigning with drones.

Ramstein drone?

Trump used the “Queen of the Drones”, the “Grim Reaper”, the MQ9 Reaper, powered by a 900 hp engine that can do both: watch and kill. Trump had the killing carried out by remote control and thus once again promoted the sale of the General Atomic Group based in San Diego, California. This extremely successful company has interested parties all over the world, from Australia, Spain, Great Britain and last but not least Kramp-Karrenbauer, the German Minister of War AKK. At first I thought whether the drone came from Ramstein, but in the end that is no longer decisive, because the USA and Germany are so closely linked that there should only be one consequence for us:

End submissive vassal policy

Shutting down all US military bases on German soil, detaching themselves from the “US friends” and the murderous NATO and finally starting to conduct subordinate vassal politics independently and sovereignly, not as a quasi “occupied” country, but instead consistently pursuing peace work. The fact that we are further away from this goal than ever is shown in the current policy that runs through all parties. Are they so agreed that we are finally “who” and can get involved in missions abroad, together with our NATO and alliance partners.

The Iraqi government is fed up with “US friends”

The Iraqi Parliament has just passed the correct, albeit unfortunately not binding, resolution to remove US and all foreign troops from Iraq. The Iraqi government is fed up with the “US friends” who have plunged them into poverty, misery and chaos for decades. Trump’s answer was, as expected, the threat of the “sanctions” weapon of mass destruction and the bill to charge the impoverished country billions of dollars for its military bases. The occupied should pay for the occupation. Germany is also treated like an occupied country in trade policy, as ex-Chancellor Schröder noted in 2018 (5) (6) (7)

We see what this “peace work” looks like: it is all about colonization, power and shameless resource theft, regardless of the needs of the local population. That this kind of “peace policy” does not make friends should now be obvious to even the stupidest politicians who brag about the missions again and again.

Iran has adhered to the nuclear deal

For a long time, the Netanyahu regime has been trying to bring Trump’s US into a confrontation course with Iran, as has already been seen when the US unilaterally canceled its nuclear deal. Unlike the United States, Iran has adhered to the treaty and has even undertaken controls in the country. What did it use Iran and how was it thanked? With a boycott that was tantamount to an economic war and is said to lead the country into poverty and scarcity, and Europe is silent about it. What then happened, however, could neither please the USA nor the Zionist friends, the people held together even more and did not bow. The USA is a master in this type of war, often tried and tested and carried out worldwide.

Joint struggle against Muslims and “Christian-Jewish domination

Isn’t Trump and the Netanyahu regime really just one thing, namely the common struggle against “the” Muslims and Christian-Jewish domination? Under the guise of democracy, these state terrorists are trying to overwhelm them with terror and bombs. With targeted actions, occupations, attacks and boycotts, they work with this scientifically sophisticated strategy.

Strategielos

If you look at our government, Germany has no strategy at all. While the Minister of War AKK wants to leave German troops in Iraq, AA Maas wants to consult with the Iraqi government and Merkel will fly to Moscow next Saturday at the invitation of Putin. Europe, and Germany in particular, would be well advised to distance itself from Soleimani’s murder and to no longer follow Trump-USA and the “Jewish State” in its fatal warlike policies that violate aggression and international law. No German rationale for the security of the state-terrorist “Jewish state”. (8) (9)

A cynical legal-political instrument

Israel’s trust in agreements with the Palestinians as the basis for settling disputes between the sides is a cynical legal-political instrument. For decades, the European states that dominate the International Criminal Court have heard Israeli arguments that court intervention would undermine peace negotiations with the Palestinians. Currently, not a single state is likely to use this argument to delay a trial against Israel. It does not interfere with statements by politicians in Jerusalem about the death of the Oslo peace treaties and unilateral Israeli punitive measures against the Palestinians living under their illegal occupation, such as withholding taxpayers’ money, which are due to the Palestinian Authority. The decision or intention of Israel to annex the Jordan Valley in the West Bank mentioned in the IstGH declaration clearly contradicts the Oslo Accords, which reject unilateral measures that could affect the permanent status of the occupied territories.

Akiva Eldar wrote: Concentrating on legal arguments marginalizes the fundamental question: why does the state of a people, who has been the victim of war crimes and the worst crimes against humanity in modern history, refuse to join the IstGH to combat war crimes was set up? After all, Netanyahu himself noted at the beginning of the cabinet meeting that the IstGH was “founded after the horrors of World War II, especially after the horrors inflicted on our people”. The reason for this, apart from the question of settlements, is the concern that membership in the IstGH would limit the freedom of action of the IDF and that of the current and former heads of the Israeli security authorities. The members of the IstGH are obliged to respect the arrest warrants issued by him and to stop and extradite suspects within their limits. Netanyahu’s mention of the circumstances in which the court was founded should mock the important institution. (10) And there is only one answer:

Trump and Netanyahu must go to the International Criminal Court as war criminals, as well as for their crimes against humanity!

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got low scores at the UN for his speech attacking Iran and pointing to secret nuclear sites. When will he get voted off the show?

Trump channels Netanyahu at the U.N., as his top policy-makers meet with Iran-war-mongers

As you surely know, Donald Trump channeled Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly. He mentioned Iran 14 times (compared to 0 for Russia and 4 for Israel) and all but called for regime change. Iran’s “brutal regime” was financing the destruction of Syria, its leaders “sow chaos, death and destruction,” its “corrupt dictatorship” should be isolated by the world.

This sly appeal was right out of the Netanyahu script:

[W]e ask all nations to support Iran’s people as they struggle to reclaim their religious and righteous destiny.

The media made a lot of Trump’s sovereignty doctrine–  nationalism and “patriotism” over “globalism” and multilateralism–  but even those remarks had a pro-Israel cast. Trump was talking about the US rejection of two Israel-bugaboos, the UN Human Rights Council and International Criminal Court.

As far as America is concerned, the ICC has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority…. We will never surrender America’s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy….America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism…

There is an obvious reason Trump is parroting Netanyahu. Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam are the largest funders of Republicans, ponying up $55 million for the midterm elections. Trump needs Sheldon Adelson now more than ever, and Adelson has a simple agenda, Israel. Adelson backs Netanyahu, pushed the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem, opposes negotiations with Palestinians, and called on President Obama to nuke Iran. Adelson wanted Trump to tear up the Iran deal, and he did.

The New York Times ran a good piece on Adelson’s influence last week, saying Sheldon and wife Miriam “have emerged as the biggest and potentially most influential contributors to Republicans in the midterm season,” and that the Adelsons have gotten “their most cherished priorities” from the “unflinchingly pro-Israel” Trump administration. The Times even ran a letter saying the Adelsons bought the presidency.

But it is disappointing that no one in the mainstream press is connecting the Trump administration’s theatrical anti-Iran push in New York yesterday with the rightwing Israel lobby, which seeks a war with Iran.

The agenda is clear. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, addressed an Adelson shop, the organization United Against Nuclear Iran, in NY yesterday, and it was a war party at the Westin Grand Central Hotel. Bolton issued a bellicose warning to Iran to great applause: “If you cross us, our allies, or our partners; if you harm our citizens; if you continue to lie, cheat and deceive, yes, there will indeed be hell to pay.” As Eli Clifton and Derek Davison reported ahead of time:

According to the organization’s guest list, in attendance will be virtually every prominent official both in the United States and overseas who has pushed for a military confrontation with Iran—a veritable who’s who of warmongers…

Those guests included leading officials from countries that want a war with Iran: Yossi Cohen, director of the Israeli Mossad; ambassadors from Bahrain and the UAE; and the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia. Not to mention American hawks Dennis Ross and Joe Lieberman (the UANI chair), and a French one, Bernard Henri-Levy.

Bolton and Pompeo address warmongers at the Westin Grand Central Hotel, UANI conference.

Like Trump and the Republicans, UANI has been funded by Adelson. “Sheldon and Miriam Adelson… contributed $500,000 in 2013,” Clifton reports–  the same year Adelson called on Obama to nuke Iran.

UANI’s biggest funder is Thomas Kaplan, a billionaire investor who supports liberal and Jewish causes, such as wildlife conservation and the 92d Street Y. Five years ago, Kaplan introduced Benjamin Netanyahu at the 92d Street Y in fulsome terms –hailing the prime minister as the leader of “our people.”

It is… with great humility that we welcome the prime minister of Israel. On his shoulders rests the heavy decisions of  not only making a just peace, but confronting a fanatical regime that threatens his people, our people. We are inspired by your leadership, sustained by your faith, and truly honored by your presence.

UANI is closely aligned with Israel. Its board includes Tamir Pardo, a former Mossad director, and Irwin Cotler, the Canadian parliamentarian who is obsessed with BDS. Its contracts include $700,000 to Israeli consulting groups.

And you wonder why the media can’t touch the Israel lobby story; they’d have to talk about national interest, dual loyalty, whatever you want to call it. Sheldon Adelson once said he wished he’d served in the Israeli army, not the American one. Or as Obama said when he was trying to get the Iran deal through, only one country in the world was against it, Israel, and he’d be abrogating his constitutional duty if he didn’t work for the deal.

I recognize that Prime Minister Netanyahu disagrees — disagrees strongly… I believe he is wrong.  I believe the facts support this deal.  I believe they are in America’s interest and Israel’s interest.  And as President of the United States, it would be an abrogation of my constitutional duty to act against my best judgment simply because it causes temporary friction with a dear friend and ally.  I do not believe that would be the right thing to do for the United States.  I do not believe it would be the right thing to do for Israel.

Obama said the only alternative to the deal was war.

And Trump owes war-mongering Adelson everything; and he tore up the Iran deal. And the media “has largely supported Trump’s fictitious view” of the deal.

That’s the real issue here. Trump has surrounded himself with warmongers. Though yesterday he tweeted that he is sure that Iranian president Hasan Rouhani is an “absolutely lovely man,” his militant speech at the U.N. was scripted; and the script is what we all have to worry about. Once again neoconservatives are scheming for the invasion of a sovereign country in the Middle East, and it would be helpful if the press described the agenda.

WORLD LEADERS Vs DONALD TRUMP

After Donald Trump’s catastrophic decision of pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, several world leaders and peace activists have come forward to pledge their support for the agreement and call for its continuation.

UK, Germany, France Will Uphold Iran Nuclear Deal

“Together, we emphasize our continuing commitment to the JCPOA,” a statement said.

After Donald Trump‘s catastrophic decision of pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, several world leaders and peace activists have come forward to pledge their support for the agreement and call for its continuation.

Officially known as the Joint Cooperation Plan of Action (JCPOA) and signed by the United StatesBritainFranceGermany, and China in 2015 the deal allowed the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency could regularly inspect Iran’s nuclear program.

Trump’s decision of pulling out has caused an uproar and concern among other signatories of the Iran Nuclear Deal with Britain, France, and Germany issuing a rare joint statement in response to the move. The trio expressed “regret and concern” over Trump’s decision and urged the U.S. to keep the structures of the agreement “intact.”

“It is with regret and concern that we, the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom, take note of President Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States of America from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,” the statement said. “Together, we emphasize our continuing commitment to the JCPOA. This agreement remains important for our shared security.”

“We recall that the JCPOA was unanimously endorsed by the UN Security Council in resolution 2231,” the statement continued. “This resolution remains the binding international legal framework for the resolution of the dispute about the Iranian nuclear program. We urge all sides to remain committed to its full implementation and to act in a spirit of responsibility.”

In a public event Tuesday Trump denounced the deal and signed the highest sanction against Iran, his speech also contained threatening undertones.

“The Iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terror. It exports dangerous missiles, fuels conflicts across the Middle East, and supports terrorist proxies and militias such as Hezbollah, Hamas, the Taliban and Al Qaeda,” the U.S. President claimed.

“The United States no longer makes empty threats. When I make promises, I keep them.” Trump said. “Powerful sanction also go into full effect. If the regime continues its nuclear aspirations, it will have bigger problems than it has ever had before.”

Germany’s Angela Merkel said in a statement that Iran’s nuclear deal “should never be called into question” and vowed on Wednesday that Germany, France, and Britain would “do everything” to ensure that Iran remains in the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.

UK’s Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, also said that “Britain has no intention of walking away. The U.S. decision makes no difference to the British assessments” as the country’s national security depends on it.

A Downing Street spokesperson said Tuesday night, “The Prime Minister held a joint telephone call with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this evening, where they discussed the US President’s announcement and agreed their continuing commitment to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.”

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Iran won’t uphold the nuclear deal without ‘solid’ European guarantees.
“You heard last night that the president of America made some silly and superficial comments. He had maybe more than ten lies in his comments,” Khamenei said.

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani also denounced the US decision, saying,  “From now on, this is an agreement between Iran and five countries […] we have to wait and see how others react, if we come to the conclusion that with cooperation with the five countries we can keep what we wanted despite Israeli and American efforts, [it] can survive.”

Soon after the US announcement, Iran also ceased its business operations with the U.S.-based Boeing which was allowed to do business with Iran after the Iran Nuclear Deal was signed in 2015. Trump’s decision will cost Boeing US$ 20 billion worth of contracts.

“We will consult with the U.S. Government on next steps. As we have throughout this process, we’ll continue to follow the U.S. Government’s lead,” Gordon Johndroe, VP of Boeing’s Government Operations Communications, told Gizmodo.

The U.S. government plans to give a 3-6 month window for companies that are currently doing business with Iran to pull out of their deals.

 

IN TOONS ~~ DANCING TO THE DRUMS OF WAR

In a rare public expression of support for Israel by a radical Islamist figure in Syria, a former leader in al-Qaeda’s Syrian militia on Saturday welcomed Israeli airstrikes against Syrian and Iranian targets in the country after an Iranian drone infiltrated Israeli airspace, and called on the Jewish state to quickly “uproot” Iran from its northern neighbor.

Don’t like refugees? Stop bombing their countries!

In his third week in office, Donald Trump is calling for war with Iran. We explain why Israel and Saudi Arabia are lobbying the US to bomb Iran (which will only create more refugees and has nothing to do with nuclear weapons)

Israel, Washington’s closest ally in the Middle East, is armed to the teeth with the aid and assistance of the United States, and has built its own substantial nuclear arsenal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who bitterly opposed the 2015 nuclear agreement, immediately condemned the Iranian missile test on Monday. He said he would press the Trump administration to renew economic sanctions on Tehran when he visits Washington this month.

Huckabee: Obama Leading Israelis to ‘Door of the Oven’

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, talking about the Iran nuclear deal, said President Barack Obama will march Israelis “to the door of the oven.”

Huckabee, in an interview Saturday with Breitbart News, evoked Holocaust images of the ovens used to dispose of the bodies of Jews gassed in Nazi concentration camps.

“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history,” the former Arkansas governor said. “It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

Calling the deal signed earlier this month by Iran and world powers the “most idiotic thing,” Huckabee said the agreement should be rejected by Democrats and Republicans in Congress, “and by the American people.”

“I read the whole deal,” he said. “We gave away the whole store. It’s got to be stopped.”

In May, when Huckabee announced he was running for the 2016 presidency, he cast Obama’s foreign policy as not sufficiently protective of Israel’s interests.

“Hell will freeze over before they get a nuclear weapon,” Huckabee said of Iran.

A pastor, Huckabee visits Israel three to four times a year and leads tours there for evangelical Christians.

Negotiators reach historic Iran deal amid anger in Israel

Agreement to maintain missile embargo for eight years; Israeli politicians predict nuclear Iran; PM: Mistake of historic proportions.

Iran’s support for international terrorist groups remained undiminished last year and even expanded in some respects, the Obama administration said Friday, less than two weeks before the deadline for completing a nuclear deal that could provide Tehran with billions of dollars in relief from economic sanctions.

The assessment offered a worrying sign of even worse terror-related violence to come after a year in which extremists in the Middle East, Africa and Asia committed 35 percent more terrorist acts, killed nearly twice as many people and almost tripled the number of kidnappings worldwide. Statistics released by the State Department on Friday also pointed to a tenfold surge in the most lethal kinds of attacks.

Yet even as the Islamic State group and the Taliban were blamed for most of the death and destruction in 2014, the department’s annual terrorism report underscored the ongoing threat posed by Iran and its proxies across the Islamic world and beyond.

Tehran increased its assistance to Shiite militias fighting in Iraq and continued its long-standing military, intelligence and financial aid to Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Syrian President Bashar Assad’s embattled government and Palestinian groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. While the study said Iran has lived up to interim nuclear deals with world powers thus far, it gave no prediction about how an Iran flush with cash from a final agreement would behave.

World powers and Iran are trying to conclude an accord by the end of the month, setting 15 years of restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for significant relief from the international sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy.

The negotiations don’t involve Iran’s support for militant groups beyond its border. But Israel and the Sunni monarchies of the Persian Gulf, Iran’s regional rivals, fear a fresh wave of terrorism as a result of any pact. President Barack Obama, hoping to ease their fears, has said most of the money would go to Iran’s economic development.

America’s “grave concern about Iran’s support for terrorism remains unabated,” White House spokesman Eric Shultz said. “That is all the more reason that we need to make sure they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.”

In total last year, nearly 33,000 people were killed in almost 13,500 terrorist attacks around the world, according to the State Department report. That’s up from just over 18,000 deaths in nearly 10,000 attacks in 2013.

Twenty-four Americans were killed by extremists in 2014, the report said. And abductions soared to 9,428 in the calendar year from 3,137 in 2013.

The report attributes the rise in attacks to increased terror activity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Nigeria and the sharp spike in deaths to a growth in exceptionally lethal attacks in those countries and elsewhere.

There were 20 attacks that killed more than 100 people each in 2014, compared to just two a year earlier, the report said. Among those were December’s attack by the Pakistani Taliban on a school in Peshawar that killed at least 150 people and the June attack by Islamic State militants on a prison in Mosul, Iraq, in which 670 Shiite prisoners died.

At the end of 2014, the prison attack was the deadliest terrorist operation in the world since Sept. 11, 2001, according to the report.

Despite all indications pointing toward increased violence, the State Department’s counterterrorism coordinator said the numbers didn’t reflect improvements by the US and its partners in stamping out terrorism financing, improving information sharing, impeding foreign fighters and forming a coalition to fight the Islamic State group. “We have made progress,” Ambassador Tina Kaidanow said.

Attacks occurred in 95 countries last year but were concentrated in the Mideast, South Asia and West Africa. Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria accounted for more than 60 percent of the attacks. Adding Syria, they comprised roughly 80 percent of the fatalities, the report found.

The rise in kidnappings is mainly attributable to the mass abductions by terrorist groups in Syria, notably Islamic State militants and the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.

In Nigeria, Boko Haram was responsible for most, if not all, of the nearly 1,300 abductions, including several hundred girls from a school in Chibok. By contrast, the report cited fewer than 100 terror-related kidnappings reported in Nigeria in 2013.

Friday’s report noted the “unprecedented seizure” of territory in Iraq and Syria by the Islamic State group, its ability to recruit foreign fighters to join its cause and the emergence of self-proclaimed affiliates, notably in Libya, Egypt and Nigeria. It cited a rise in so-called lone wolf attacks in the West and terrorists employing more extreme methods of violence to repress and frighten communities under their control.
