So true (yes pun intended). In many ways it's still hard to find the truth even thought I have access to material I never would have had ten years ago. The propaganda machine have gone nuclear and now I hope the white house/israel (lowercase intentional) doesn't follow.
I agree with The Judge that Aaron's knowledge about the topic is encyclopedic. I always learn something new when Aaron appears on Judge Napolitano's show.
You know that I was born in a big oil town, and therefore, I understanding that fossil fuel is what US currency is based on. People who are not elderly like myself do not know what our US history is in regards to what is, say that we cannot move beyond the combustible engine as Judge Napolitano tells people, indeed though we already have as Elon Musk has demonstrated.
In Jimmy Carter’s presidency, Saudi Arabia boycotted the US with oil restrictions because of the way Americans treated the Palestinians, and at that time the US was receiving most their gasoline from the Middle East. This was when American vehicles used unleaded regular gasoline, predated the catalytic converter. The rolling smog was so bad in California that that catalytic converter was created. The catalytic converter doesn’t stop pollution, it just hides it.
This time of course jump stated oil exploration and drilling in the US, and then, low and behold a very real glut of oil development in the market (circa 1984) causing a very ugly collapse so catastrophic Exxon joined with Mobile as other oil companies did likewise to prevent over production.
There was an oilman by the name of Thomas Boone Pickens whom predicted the “glut” of oil that moved into wind generated electricity because Exxon’s own geologists quit Exxon because he knew that fossil fuel was responsible for global warming. Exxon CEO hired scientist and paid them to form a different opinion. This was on the nightly new before American news was compromised.
Throughout the process, Pentagon leaders were assembling their plan without formally consulting President Biden or anyone in the White House. “The White House only knew that the Iranians” wanted to respond in kind to the Israelis, the official said. At that early point in the military planning, he added, “the White House had no need to know more.” It was believed that there would never be formal approval for such a radical strategy, although Biden, to his credit, when later told that the Ayatollah had agreed to mute his revenge, publicly joined in urging the Israelis not to respond to the failed Iranian missile attack.
None of this would be happening if the people of England, France, the US, the world paid full attention to the genocide Israel is implementing, as well as the indifference and often complicity of it's people in this ongoing genocidal slaughter. American politicians deserve our utter contempt as well, since they are totally complicit in supporting this genocide. I will not vote for any of them. Galloway with just a few words made you feel compassion and sanity still exists even though only in small places. Cameron sounds like something that should be flushed down a toilet.
Nothing will change until there are more Galloways in Parliament and our own Congress and the Camerons of the world are completely exposed for the fools they are.
Exactly. I only put up the Hersh link because it suggests two things: 1) that Iran's response was designed not to escalate into WW3, and 2) that the Pentagon doesn't want WW3 and so it bypassed the Whitehouse completely to come up with a face saving plan to avert escalation and then informed Biden after the fact.
Sy Hersch can't be correct... the solution was too simple with coordination between adversaries that has never been witnessed prior to this event. Even more so, none of the sides have exhibited one iota of concern for typical world citizen. If Sy's account is true, then all the on-going wars can be stopped in a matter of days but that will never happen.
IMO, when the USA found out about Iran's retaliation, a scheme was drawn up as told by Sy Hersch. This scheme hides the faults of the air defense within NATO and since "defense" is the sole existence for NATO something needed to be done. The USA convinced Iran that a few missiles will penetrate the Iron Dome if they (Iran) work with Sy's coalition of countries, Iran will be able to save face, declare a successful operation.
OR
Iran penetrated the air defense and the West is scrambling to save face. If Iran was successful, I can see Julian Assange being released, Biden not being President after this term and NATO scaling back (something needs to be performed to start getting half of the general public back to accepting the government as the voice of the people.
If this is true, and why not, then I feel there is hope. Israel as well as it's people are in the process of "killing" themselves as they implement this despicable genocide which will never be forgiven by much of the world, or it's people. I hope there are people sane enough not to also allow Israel to implement a regional war that could morph into a third world war, because that is a great possibility.
Hersh.
"I’ve spent much of my career reporting on the American military’s misdeeds and worse, especially during the Vietnam War, but it’s time now to applaud the brilliance of the Pentagon planning staff and the operational officers who did what America assured Iran’s religious and military leadership it could do: allow Iran to respond to yet another Israeli assassination by flinging more than three hundred drones and missiles toward Israeli targets that as many as possible would be shot out of the sky before hitting ground there. It was a huge gamble, and it paid off."
Fran, I have the same hope as you; what fails to resonate is the ability to conduct such a sensitive mission aligning divergent and opposing views of the world into an orchestrated and well choreographed response. Why did it take Sy Hersch to announce this? It would be a coupe for any one of the countries to announce this and even better if ALL of the countries announced together but instead we receive it as a "scoop". The world should be dancing in the streets because governments did what they are suppose to do and that is preventing additional harm to the citizens of the world but instead the story is told to subscribers to Sy Hersch on SubStack. None of this makes sense.
Well, he did say it was the Pentagon that implemented this plan, and not a bunch of war mongering politicians, nor did they have a say in it, Even though the US is funding the genocide in Israel and has back up from it's European subservient lackeys the rest of the world is not supporting Israel at all, and neither are people on a world wide level. So maybe sanity prevailed this time round. Israel is so obviously destroying itself and the Israelis seem to be oblivious to that reality and only seeing it's immediate gains, but they will pay a severe price in the end. The face of that war is on the net and on full display, and as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. People often read even in the mainstream press a regional war could become WWIII. Perhaps it has been told elsewhere so you can't be sure only Hersch and now Sub-Stack has the scoop.
Endorsing Biden because you see Trump as an existential threat makes no sense. Replacing Biden with a sharp, anti-corruption candidate would be the thing to do in that case. The fact that the DNC won’t replace Biden with RFK Jr. tells us their real fear is an end to their racket.
Thank you Aaron, thank you Andrew ! Where there is truth spoken there is hope. Keep the light burning bright.

Sy Hersh has in interesting take on the Iranian response.

Thanks, Aaron and -- a really good tweet:
