Anyone thinking that a false flag operation (i.e. a lie) will not be used to initiate U.S. entry into a war with Iran is being childishly naïve. Embarrassingly naïve. Unpardonably naïve. This is just standard operating procedure, and as the truism goes, truth is the first casualty of war.
A false flag was used when Iraq invaded Kuwait (Iraqis pulling babies from incubators), happened a decade later when the U.S. was determined to overthrow Saddam Hussein (WMDs), was used in Syria (Chemical Weapons), etc. You say Syria had chemical weapons? The Assad regime has been toppled, where now are the chemical weapons it possessed? Or don’t we even merit the proof of the assertions made to justify the bombing, the sanctions, and the support of terrorist mercenaries that ruined so many lives? If you have not learned from the multiple examples of lies and provocations our government has used to overthrow governments and ruin nations, naïve is not a good enough descriptor for your behavior. Cowardly is much more accurate.
The false flag required to justify a war with Iran will have to be much greater than any of these, since Iran is a much greater power than any we’ve faced in our lifetimes. Although strict sanctions have been placed upon Iran for many years now, they have not strangled Iran the way those imposed on Iraq and Syria did. Iran did not agree to basically disarm the way Libya and Iraq did, rendering them incapable of defending themselves. Iran saw what became of those countries, and only a fool would trust the United States and its allies (vassals). Moreover, in the ensuing years, countries that are not empty vassals to U.S. power have grown stronger while our allies have grown weaker. Iran will not be without allies, while those countries who support the U.S. and Israel (Saudi Arabia, Jordan) will face the wrath of their own people.
The time will come when you will be asked to believe the false flag allegations that will justify a war that no honest person can tell you will not grow to something beyond anything our masters have promised. And when I say we will be asked to believe, I mean it in the sense that Big Brother asks the people to believe that 2+2=5. The allegations will be thrust upon us with such force and from every quarter in an attempt to overwhelm us and crush our ability to resist.
It will be your decision whether or not you will succumb to the pressure or else find within you the will to retain your individuality and your capacity for skepticism and critical thinking. It will not matter what anyone else thinks or says or does, you will have to find something within you that calls out for sanity or else be washed away in the madness. A few individuals willing to stand up for peace and truth will go a long way in halting a war that will do no good to anyone and will do great harm to millions, perhaps billions.
I have no great faith that those who identify themselves as being on the left will find that kind of courage to stand alone, even when it is Donald Trump they would be opposing. Their leaders will fall behind this war as they fall behind every war, and I have seen no evidence that those who follow AOC, Kamala Harris, and Chuck Shumer will oppose Trump on any subject they are not explicitly told to.
I have a slightly greater hope in people on the right opposing the war, though their ultimate commitment will require greater proof than mere words. I see people like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owen and even Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking out against it, so perhaps Republican voters might find courage in their examples.
I cannot fathom how those who manage to gather in the hundreds of thousands to protest Trump’s military parade cannot be trusted to gather in greater numbers to protest Trump’s war, but logic and moral consistency have nothing to do with politics nowadays.
The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier is headed to the Middle East as I type these words. Many speculate that since it is a fifty year-old ship that is due to be decommissioned that it will be sunk in order to be used as justification for the war both the U.S. and Israel so obviously want and have so obviously been building up for. If not this, then some other casus belli will be manufactured. And the people who lied to you so often before will tell you to believe them and so many of you will.
It doesn’t matter whatever anyone else says or does, the moral responsibility for what is about to transpire rests firmly upon your shoulders. Such dark times are remedied by individual heroism and made darker by those who relinquish personal responsibility to authority. Democracy cannot survive in a country where individuals cannot find within themselves the courage to oppose a government that seeks to bully the masses.
