    THE EXPLANATION (+BN Video Special!)

    At this very moment, there is a specific group of people who are orchestrating the total destruction of this country and the entire free world.

    This group has infiltrated governments, monopolized financial systems, instigated wars, and is deliberately fostering division and chaos in otherwise stable societies.

    But if you live in the USA, you might actually hold this group in high regard.

    After all, they print the money you use from the Federal Reserve.

    And, how could that be bad?

    That money isn’t free though, it’s loaned to the government, AT INTEREST, and further contributes to inflation.

    The Fed has been operated by Alan Greenspan, Ben Shalom Bernanke, Janet Yellen, and Stanley Fischer…and lately by someone who’s a bit different, Mr Powell.

    Some say he’s simply a certain kind of ‘window dressing.’

    Then we’ve got this never-ending hostility toward Iran, pushed by the likes of war mongers such as Ben Schapiro, Mark Levin, and Howard Kohr, just to name a few.

    It’s pretty obvious we’re fighting wars not for ourselves, but to please some ’special interest group’ that never sends its own to fight.

    But even that’s not enough, since each year, no matter how tough things get in our own country, we always send billions of dollars in aid money to their country abroad.

    And, how about “impeachment theater” led by Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and Elliot Engel?

    What do they have in common?

    For one, they despise the people’s vote, 60 million of them.

    Others hold free speech in contempt.

    YouTube’s head, Susan Wojicki, along with Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL and Heidi Beirich of the SPLC—the official flaggers of YouTube and Google—have launched a mass purge of creators, and have shut down discussion comprising alternative views.

    Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook is no different when it comes to restraining the discourse.

    What about Gun Rights?

    As we all know, throughout history, unarmed populations have been subject to tyranny and extermination.

    Schumer, Feinstein, Blumenthal, and Bloomberg know this too, and are perpetually hard at work to abolish our Second Amendment.

    What about sexual perversion?

    I’m sure you’ve heard of Anthony Weiner, Harvey Weinstein, and even Jeffery Epstein. They’re part of this group too.

    It’s not enough for them to go out and do it, but it must be taught in our schools as well.

    Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers, and Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League are pushing homosexuality and transgenderism in our public schools to children from kindergarten on up.

    Four-year-olds in preschool too.

    With all the ‘racism and supremacy scares’ going on these days, strangely, many are actually keen to call them the ‘Chosen People.’

    So ‘chosen’ are these people that in some European countries it is actually illegal to challenge the established narration of their touted plights from the past.

    In the USA if you want to work for certain state governments you must sign an oath stating you will not boycott the products of their country.

    They only make up 1.8% of the US population, but you find their influence everywhere. Almost half of the US Supreme Court belongs to them.

    And, They run CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS.

    This group has near unanimous power when dictating the news.

    Turn off their spin and put on a movie you say?

    Surprise! They make the movies you watch too!

    Whether it’s Paramount, Universal, or Disney.

    In this fast-paced world it’s easy to miss the signs.

    But it’s the explanation you’ve been searching for.

    These people push wars, hate our culture, hate our religion, crush free speech, promote perversion to children, work tirelessly to destabilize, polarize, and disarm our nation.

    So insidious are their actions that they’ve actually been kicked out of 109 countries!

    And the mayhem unfolding in this country is not by chance or happenstance.

    There’s a common cord, a shared communal place.

    Is it blood, religion, kinship, or race?

    Ahh, don’t say the Jew word.

    Your reputation, your job, and your life itself, are all at stake.

    +BN off the cuff

    For those of you who don’t know who I am, I’m Brother Nathanael Kapner and I’m a monastic with the Russian Orthodox Church.

    I grew up in Judaism and at 21 I embraced Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah and got baptized as a Christian.

    In 2007 I decided that I must expose Jewry’s criminality and insidious influence.

    I started my Website Real Jew News and shortly afterward began making Videos like this one.

    I reached high popularity on YouTube with 160,000 subscribers, and with over 550 Videos, I enjoyed over 60 million hits.

    Then YouTube banned me for “hate speech.”

    We all know this is a cover for censoring what the gatekeepers don’t want people to hear, namely, facts and truth.

    I’ve got plenty of facts and truth at Real Jew News, and more Videos every week.

    Come find out what you’ve been missing.

    Happy New Year, Brother Nathanael.

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful “soft pitch” video – glad to see you focused not just on retention of wide viewership, but also recruitment of new people who may not have been properly introduced to your videos.

    I hope and pray that 2020 is a great year for you, and that bankruptcy proceedings are unnecessary.

  8. Joseph January 1, 2020 @ 2:09 pm

    Greetings brother Nathanael:

    I have been watching your video’s for a few years now, and I would like to thank you for your fight in exposing the communist (Jews) who have been trying to gain total control of the globe, perhaps for centuries now.

    It is not easy to view your videos through mobile devices. For when I try viewing any of your video’s on the road through my mobile device, the video buffers even when connected to a nearby wifi source. I suspect mobile phone companies are semi-blocking your video’s (causing them to buffer and/or freeze) in order to discourage viewership.

    I’ve been wanting to join an Orthodox Christian Church, but unfortunately the nearest one in my town is over 30 miles away. My town is unfortunately dominated by Protestant Churches, most of which/whom are Dispensationalists / Zionists. And it is difficult trying to reach their hearts and minds with the truth.

    I would help you financially if I could, but unfortunately I am a disabled Veteran on limited financial means. But I do hope and pray to God through Christ Jesus that your fight continues on. If it His will for you to fight as you have been doing, then nothing will stop you/us.

    God bless you Brother Nathanael!

    Joseph from SC

    Brother,

    Have you heard of the Lèmann brothers Joseph and Augustin who converted from judaism to Christianity at age eighteen, and later became priests working with Pope Pius IX?

    Their story parallels your own.

    You need to talk with E. Michael Jones @ Culture Wars.

    He admires your work.

    Also you should read the 1891 article from La Civiltà Cattolica explaining the spiritual war between the church and the synagogue. Here it is and thanks to E. Michael Jones for getting translated. https://archive.is/TPdnK

    “La Civiltà Cattolica, Series XIV, Vol. VII, Fascicule 961, 23 October 1890

    Introduction

    The nineteenth century will close upon Europe, leaving it in the grips of a very sad question, from which, in the twentieth century, there will possibly be such calamitous consequences that they will cause Europe to bring it to an end by a definitive resolution. (i.)

    We mean the unhappy so-called Semitic question, which is better called the Jewish question, and intimately linked to the economic, moral, political, and religious conditions of Europe‘s Christianity.

    How urgent it is at present and how much it is upsetting the major nations becomes evident from the collective outcry against the invasion of the Israelites into every sector of public and social life; from the associations having formed in France, Austria, Germany, England, Russia, Romania, and elsewhere in order to stop it; from the outcrys which are beginning to make themselves heard within the parliaments; finally, from the great number of newspapers, books, and pamphlets continuously appearing in order to point out the necessity of stopping and combating the spread of this plague, and stressing its most pernicious consequences.”

  12. GTS January 1, 2020 @ 2:46 pm

    Fine summation of the threat my Brother.

    All the best to you in the new year.

    I support you all I can.

    OUT OF THE PARK!!!

    If people will not listen to this powerful delivery of TOTAL TRUTHS we are a doomed people. It was one of your BEST your strongest and NO-NONSENSE TO THE POINT exposes of the evil in our midst.

    I’m tired of using biblical quotes as ‘Merkans have stopped listen to the Lord YEARS AGO! As a person old enough to have lived in the 50s – had these treasonous scum been revealed to the people then – they would be lucky to make it back to the toilets they live in.

    You and I go way back. We have ruled out our terrorist the military to save our nation, as they are partners in destroying it.

    We have ruled out our educational system save us, as they are also part of the cuase of our moral decay.

    We have ruled out the probability of our Congress and POTUS to stand up for our freedoms and long lost sovereignty. And of course there was always the Christian churches to say enough is enough and FINALLY take a strong stand to ‘DEFEND THE FAITH.

    All I see left are the man in the street your neighbors – your children’s teachers (maybe) the OLDER veterans that, like me, DID NOT TAKE PART IN CHILD MURDER RAPE LOOTING AND TERRORISM.

    Perhaps God will take pity on those “FAITHFUL SERVANTS” who stand alone as the MINORITY.

    Perhaps He will give us a leader – a new George Washington or JFK – to pick up the baton and lead the race back to sanity, reason, and righteousness and save us from the CRIMINALS GANGSTERS AND THUGS WE NOW HAVE AS OUR ‘LEADERS’.

    Sadly – it is not the jews who have destroyed us all by their 1% selves, it is the ‘enablers’, like the 60 MILLION ‘BAPTDUNG’ scum that have betrayed Christ and EVERY TRUE CHRISTIAN IN THE US.

    The REALLY DANGEROUS PEOPLE ARE THOSE FANATIC FUNDIE ZIO-THUGS. MARK MY WORDS. THEY WILL BE THE ONE TO BETRAY US TO THE JEWS.

    OH and BTW – I used to believe that it would be the Catholic church that would finally destroy the best.

    Ratsinger the jew and Francis the fag lover have seen to it that the ‘Church’ has been compromised beyond repair. ALL REAL Catholics should watch the jew approved movie = ‘THE TWO POPES’ a ‘re-education’ film that makes heroes out of the two men who have done more damage to traditional Catholic Christianity than ALL of the communist efforts combined.

    St Peter must be rolling in his grave to see what kind of sick frauds have taken his place

    JC BEEN THERE, SEEN THAT, DONE THAT.

  15. Joe Cortina January 1, 2020 @ 6:11 pm

    AN AFTER THOUGHT after that moving strong delivery!

    You readers listen up! There ARE people out there who have MILLIONS Of dollars and some who are writing wills. Please do NOT let someone you knoe leave a million dollars to his DOG or CAT!

    Brother Nathanael CAN work a ‘miracle’ of sorts with proper funding. Just image the personal satisfaction of knowing that you may have had some part in convincing some decent Christian person to make this miracle happen.

    FOR Years now there has not been the slightest vestige or modicum of ANY display for reverence and homage to the celebration of the birth of our Lord at Christmas – NONE! JUST THOSE HORRID JEWISH IDOLS OF THE CHRIST KILLERS THEMSELVES! Their presence there must be an ABOMINATION in the eyes of God.

    It can and WILL BE DONE. This is a CHRISTIAN FOUNDED NATION and yet there is no sign of any homage to the Lord at Christmas

    HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN. I HAPPEN TO KNOW IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME DREAM OF NATHANAEL’S – MINE TOO!

    How about YOU? Are you ready to end the jew mockery of our faith?

    JC

  16. Albert January 1, 2020 @ 8:57 pm

    @ +BN

    Way to go.

    Very clear and easy to understand for anyone in any country.

    You’ve explained everything.

    I only hope more people turn to God now.

    Every time the people did during the past thousands and thousands of years He has undeniably helped.

    Let Him be your Right Hand.

  17. Nieroski-Joe January 1, 2020 @ 9:06 pm

    Joe Cortina is back! It’s been awhile.

    So we take “The Hebrews,” and modify it to “The ‘Brews” but then refer to them as “the Bruisers.”

    They certainly are “chosen.” (Chosen for extreme judgment and punishment.)

  18. World Order January 1, 2020 @ 10:26 pm

    Getting your guns is one of the first steps to a jew commie-like takeover, as in 1/2 of Europe in 1945.

    As in jew World War 2, the National Socialists (jew-called Nazis) were the only group to provide significant resistance, so the jews and their used idiot all lies tried to destroy them.

    Ha, can’t wait for world round 3, perhaps Chinese style.

  19. Nicholas Landholdt January 2, 2020 @ 1:46 am

    Brother:

    Did you respond to my December post about being on my talk radio show “Christian Revolt Long Overdue”?

  20. The Jew Coup January 2, 2020 @ 7:04 am

    Verily verily I say unto you, the Jews are indeed in the process of trying to stand up their Jew World Order as detailed in this article by Br Nathanael.

    That is the reason for the riots in Paris, Hong Kong, Baltimore, Bolivia, etc, overthrows of governments, sanctuary cities, wildfires in Australia, California, etc, transgender evil, gross pornography, perversion, sexual immorality, endless wars, rapes, murders, abortions, immigrant invasions, etc.

    Satan well knows that if he can lead people away from God into wickedness that it leaves them defenseless, unprotected, under a curse instead of a blessing, easy prey for his children the Jews, the children of the devil as Jesus calls them at John 8:44.

    Balaam taught Balak to lead the people of ancient Israel into sexual immorality so God would turn against them. In similar fashion, the devil and his children prepped this present world for conquest by leading the world into gross sexual immorality.

    The anti-Christ anti-white Jewish Supremacists documented their plans for this present madness over 100 years ago in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion –
    http://whale.to/b/protocols.html

  21. The Elder of Zyklon-B January 2, 2020 @ 8:28 am

    Please allow die Juden themselves to expand an bit on “The Explanation.”

    “No matter what the political party, for SIXTY YEARS we’ve advanced the US Israeli relationship by lobbying every American leader, no matter the political party.”

    So there you have it fellow RJN readers. AIPAC makes a clear case of Russian collusion and meddling in our elections.

    The Way Life Should Be?: Maine as a Microcosm of Jewish Activism

    January 2, 2020
    Jewish Support for Multiculturalism /by John Q. Publius

    The demographic war being waged on the state of Maine has received nothing but glowing press and for good reason—certainly not that it has any legitimacy, but that its beneficiaries are not just protected from scrutiny but praised for their efforts to swamp the indigenous White population by the media establishment.

    When we understand who controls it, this makes all the sense in the world.

    While married to Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, Jewish financier S. Donald Sussman, through his Maine Values LLC, acquired a 75 percent ownership stake in MaineToday Media—the newspaper group that owns the Portland Press Herald, the Maine Sunday Telegram, the Kennebec Journal, the Coastal Journal, and the Morning Sentinel—meaning Sussman now had a controlling interest in most of Maine’s largest newspapers.

    The Jewish Cliff Schechtman is the editor of the Portland Press Herald, which has published naked propaganda supporting Jewish mayor Ethan Strimling’s call for any and all “migrants” to come to the city.

    The Press Herald and Sunday Telegram editorial board has endorsed Eliot Cutler[1] (also Jewish and childhood friend of former owner Richard L. Connor) for governor and in Portland’s 2015 Mayoral election, the newspaper endorsed Strimling.

    The paper has a long history of neglecting to report on essential facts—such as violent felons’ immigration status—and for favoring biased hit pieces. In other words, it is lock-step with its national counterparts in the Jewish-run media.

    In 2015, Sussman sold the controlling interest in MaineToday Media to fellow Jew Reade Brower. In 2017, Brower bought Sun Media Group, parent company of the Sun Journal, in Lewiston.

    Brower now owns six of Maine’s seven daily newspapers and prints its seventh, the Bangor Daily News. He also owns twenty-one of Maine’s thirty weeklies and a number of other specialty publications.[2]

    From Brower’s profile in the New York Times (itself adamant that Maine and neighboring New Hampshire are too White and too old and…you know the rest):

    “Mr. Brower’s hold on the newspaper industry of a single state stands out…Maine’s emergence as a national political hot spot…adds to the influence Mr. Brower could have over the public discourse through his properties.[3]”

    Who needs state-run media when the unaccountable private sector exerts monopolistic control? So we have a situation in Maine where the entire media apparatus is privately-owned, its refugee re-settlement program has been privatized, and its financial and business interests—fully committed to importing an entirely new population—control its politics.

    Speaking of politics, two prominent figures in our saga warrant closer attention: the aforementioned Cutler and current Governor Janet Mills.

    Continued: https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2020/01/02/the-way-life-should-be-maine-as-a-microcosm-of-jewish-activism/

    ~~~*~~~

    Praying for a prosperous New Year for you, dear +BN.

    Here’s hoping that people are more generous and that fortunes reverse themselves, and that you are able to expand RJN, Videos, your Street Evangelism, and make all the technical expansions that you envision and have plans for.

    @Joe Cortina

    I’m so happy to see you back!

    Russia – A State Sponsor of Terrorism?

    Viable Opposition

    by A Political Junkie

    Since just before voting day in November 2016, Washington has adopted the narrative that the Russians are to blame for pretty much everything in the world that is wrong.

    While this narrative existed after the so-called annexation of Crimea after the uprising in Ukraine, it really took root when the contents of Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server were released to the public, a reality that pretty much torched her chances of residing in the Oval Office.

    Recent moves by the United States Senate show that the anti-Russia mantra is alive and well and actually growing by the day.

    While American voters are distracted by the House impeachment proceedings, here is what the Senate has been up to:
    https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/1189?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22S.1189%22%5D%7D&s=1&r=1
    S.1189 – Stopping Malign Activities from Russian Terrorism Act

    Bill S.1189 also known as the Stop Maligning Activities from Russian Terrorism Act (or SMART – who thinks of these names that make such clever acronyms?) was introduced on December 11, 2019 by Senator Corry Gardner (R-CO) and has been sent to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations where it is ordered to be reported with an amendment favourably. The bill was cosponsored by Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) showing that both sides of the Senate can cooperate when it comes to anti-Russian issues.

    The Bill requires that the Secretary of State give “appropriate congressional committees” (i.e the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the House) an answer to two questions:

    1.) whether the Russian Federation meets the criteria to be designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.

    2.) whether the armed entities (i.e. militias) in the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics in the far east of Ukraine that are allegedly controlled by the Russian Federation meet the criteria to be designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

    According to the 2018 edition of the Department of State’s Country Reports on Terrorism, Iran remains the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism. Here is State’s list of offenders and the date of their designation as a state sponsor of terrorism:
    https://www.state.gov/state-sponsors-of-terrorism/

    To get on this list, the Secretary of State must have determined that the state has repeatedly provided support for acts of terrorism. This results in the application of three laws:

    1.) Section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act

    2.) Section 40 of the Arms Esport Control Act

    3.) Section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act

    The four main categories of sanctions resulting from designation as a state sponsor of terror include:

    1.) restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance

    2.) a ban on defense exports and sales

    3.) controls over exports of dual use items

    4.) miscellaneous financial and other restrictions

    Under U.S. sanctions laws, the United States can also penalize persons or countries that would make the unwise choice of engaging in trade with states that are on the state sponsors of terrorism list.

    If SMART is approved by the Senate, it sets the stage for even more sanctions against Russia and would result in penalties for any nation that dare to come between Washington’s hatred for all things Russian and the Russian Federation.

    Given that Russia has already taken significant steps that will allow it to work around Washington’s sanctions regime and blunt their impact on the Russian economy, it’s unclear what SMART will achieve other than adding more meaningless “icing” to Washington’s anti-Russia “cake”.

    So, is Russia going to be found to be a state sponsor of terror by the Department of State? Given the current climate in Washington, I’m pretty certain that the answer will be to the affirmative.

    The Talmudization of Christianity

    From the looks of the current zeitgeist of America and from what I have seen in evangelical churches (Southern Baptist), the Rabbi would be pleased today if his earthly presence still plagues us.

    “I am devoting my lecture in this seminar to a discussion of the possibility that we are now entering a Talmudic century, a time when the spirit of the community, the non-ideological blend of the emotional and rational and the resistance to categories and forms will emerge through the forces of anti-nationalism to provide us with a new kind of society.

    I call this process the Talmudization of Christianity because Christianity will be the vehicle through which this society becomes Talmudic.”

    @Kung Furhur

    Pls see Robert Graves, The White Goddess, specifically Ch. 26 entitled Return of the Goddess for the so-called Talmudization of Christianity.

    Robert Graves’ point is more nuanced than the Rabbi’s who is mostly exercising wishful thinking.

    “Yet neither Frazer nor Hitler were far from the truth, which was that the early Gentile Christian borrowed from the Hebrew prophets the two religious concepts, hitherto unknown in the West, which have became the prime causes of our unrest: that of a patriarchal God, who refuses to have any truck with Goddesses and claims to be self-sufficient and all wise; and that of a theocratic society, disdainful of the pomps and glories of the world, in which everyone who rightly performs his civic duties is a ‘son of God’ and entitled to salvation whatever his rank or fortune, by virtue of direct communion with the Father.”

    “The Civil Wars in England were won by the fighting qualities of the Virgin-hating Puritan Independents, who envisaged an ideal theocratic society in which all priestly and episcopal pomp should be abolished, and every man should be entitled to read and interpret the Scriptures as he pleased, with direct access to God the Father.

    “Puritanism took root and flourished in America, and the doctrine of religious equalitarianism, which carried with it the right to independent thinking, turned into social equalitarianism, or democracy, a theory which has since dominated Western civilization.

    “We are now at the stage where the common people of Christendom, spurred on by their demagogues, have grown so proud that they are no longer content to be the hands and feet and trunk of the body politic, but demand to be the intellect as well—or, as much intellect as is needed to satisfy their simple appetites.”

    The above quotes in light of the Rabbi’s should be self explanatory.

    This is not good. Iran has not yet confirmed, no comment from the US or Israel owning up to it, although Reuters cited “anonymous US officials” reporting responsibility.

    My guess is that it was an Israel/Mossad clandestine missile or rocket strike, some reports were that they were Katyushka rockets, the PMF claims a US air strike on Baghdad Airport.

    AP: Iran’s Gen. Soleimani killed in airstrike at Baghdad airport

    Baghdad (AP) — Gen. Qassim Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, was killed in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport Friday, Iraqi television and three Iraqi officials said.

    The strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF, the officials said.

    Their deaths are a potential turning point in the Middle East and are expected to draw severe retaliation from Iran and the forces it backs in the Middle East against Israel and American interests.

    The PMF blamed the United States for an attack at Baghdad International Airport Friday.

    There was no immediate comment from the U.S. or Iran.

    A senior Iraqi politician and a high-level security official confirmed to the Associated Press that Soleimani and al-Muhandis were among those killed in the attack.

    Two militia leaders loyal to Iran also confirmed the deaths, including an official with the Kataeb Hezbollah, which was involved in the attack on the U.S. Embassy this week.

    The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said al-Muhandis had arrived to the airport in a convoy to receive Soleimani whose plane had arrived from either Lebanon or Syria.

    The airstrike occurred as soon as he descended from the plane to be greeted by al-Muhandis and his companions, killing them all.

    The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject and because they were not authorized to give official statements.

    The senior politician said Soleimani’s body was identified by the ring he wore.

    Soleimani had been rumored dead several times, including in a 2006 airplane crash that killed other military officials in northwestern Iran and following a 2012 bombing in Damascus that killed top aides of embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.

    More recently, rumors circulated in November 2015 that Soleimani was killed or seriously wounded leading forces loyal to Assad as they fought around Syria’s Aleppo.

    Earlier Friday, an official with an Iran-backed paramilitary force said that seven people were killed by a missile fired at Baghdad International Airport, blaming the United States.

    The official with the group known as the Popular Mobilization Forces said the dead included its airport protocol officer, identifying him as Mohammed Reda.

    A security official confirmed that seven people were killed in the attack on the airport, describing it as an airstrike.

    Earlier, Iraq’s Security Media Cell, which releases information regarding Iraqi security, said Katyusha rockets landed near the airport’s cargo hall, killing several people and setting two cars on fire.

    It was not immediately clear who fired the missile or rockets or who was targeted. There was no immediate comment from the U.S.

    US is owning the cowardly attack on Baghdadi Airport according to still anonymous “senior Pentagon official”, this time stating a drone attack.

    Besides assassinating Solemeini, the US murdered 6 or 7 Iraqi citizens and authorized legitimate members of the Iraqi armed forces in the convoy as well.

    This really won’t change anything in the Axis of Resistance, for both Solemanei and al-Muhandas trained their replacements long ago,

    NEWSWEEK: IRAQ MILITIA OFFICIALS, IRAN’S QUDS FORCE HEAD KILLED IN U.S. DRONE STRIKE

    wo senior Iraqi militia officials and the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Quds Force has been killed in a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad International Airport in what appeared to be the latest escalation following a week of unrest and bloodshed across the country.

    Mohammed Redha al-Jabri, head of protocol of Iraq’s state-sponsored Popular Mobilization Forces, was killed Thursday “along with three guests accompanying him,” the Popular Mobilization Forces, also known as Al-Hashed Al-Shaabi, told Newsweek.

    The group initially denied rumors that Popular Mobilization Forces deputy commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed or injured, saying he was “well and currently in his residence in Baghdad.”

    A senior Pentagon official then confirmed to Newsweek that Muhandis was indeed killed, along with Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani, pending DNA results that had a “high probability” of identifying the two men as the targets.

    Shortly after, the Popular Mobilization Forces confirmed to Newsweek “the martyrdom of deputy head of Al-Hashed, Haj Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani in an American strike that targeted their vehicles on the road of Baghdad International Airport.”

    Earlier Thursday, the Iraqi military’s Security Media Cell reported that “three Katyusha rockets fell on Baghdad International Airport, near the air cargo terminal, destroying two vehicles and wounding a number of civilians.”

    The cell then released four photos appearing destroyed cars in flames.

    RT: Iran Quds Force commander killed in strike on convoy at Baghdad Airport

    The head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, has been killed in a strike near the Baghdad International Airport, along with senior leaders of the Iraqi Shia militia, the Iran Revolutionary Guards Corps has confirmed.

    The news of the commander’s demise was carried by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency, citing The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

    Earlier, Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces blamed the US and Tel Aviv for Soleimani’s takedown.

    “The American and Israeli enemy is responsible for killing the mujahideen Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qassem Soleimani,” said Ahmed al-Assadi, a spokesman for Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces, as cited by Reuters.

    Al-Muhandis is the deputy chief of the Popular Mobilization Forces, the umbrella group of Shia militias integrated into the Iraq’s armed forces, which was blamed for the siege of the US embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.

    Al-Muhandis and Soleimani were apparently in a convoy traveling near the Baghdad airport when it was struck by multiple missiles. The PMF earlier confirmed the deaths of five of its members and two “guests.”

    Reuters reported that the Pentagon has claimed responsibility for the strike, citing an unnamed US official.

    US Marines also reportedly captured two other influential Iraqi militia figures around the time of the strikes – Qais Khazali, head of the paramilitary group Asaib Ahl al-Haq, and Badr Organization leader Hadi al-Amiri – in a neighborhood of Baghdad, according to Al Arabiya.

    While still lacking official confirmation that Washington was behind the assassinations, some US lawmakers have already challenged the legality of the supposed American raid, as Congress was apparently left in the dark about the mission. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) weighed in with a tweet later on Thursday, sounding alarm that the unauthorized operation could kick off a “massive regional war,” even though Soleimani was an “enemy of the United States.”

    The high-profile assassinations come as tensions soar between Tehran and Washington over recent events in Iraq.

    An American air raid on an Iraqi Shia militia last weekend triggered a heated protest at the US embassy complex in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone on Tuesday, where demonstrators smashed windows, set fires and chanted “death to America.”

    Washington claimed the raid was in retaliation for a militia rocket attack on a US base in Kirkuk, and that Iran provided backing for the assault, though offered no evidence.

    The stunning number of hate crimes against Jews recently is a direct result (like always) of Jewish behavior.

    What most non-Jews fail to understand is that Jewry is willing to sacrifice even some of their own people to violence and oppression from non-Jews. This is how twisted and evil the core of world Jewry is.

    They even foment anti-Semitism against their own people in order to stave off criticism of Jewish power. The Jews are being exposed more and more, so they flood the media with anti-Semitic narratives to stop people from speaking up against them.

    So far, it’s still working. There’s a anti-Jewish backlash building throughout the Western World, but few still are willing to speak out publicly.

  35. Koen January 3, 2020 @ 2:29 am

    I believe that our Lord Jesus Christ has an Essenic Hebrew background, not Sadduceic nor Phariseic.

    The blessing of Moses, given on mount Sinai was wasted by the Hebrews except for the Essenes. The Sadduceic and Phariseic Hebrews adopted too many habits and customs during Babylonian exile and Babylonean slavery/rule, and also returned to their former Canaanite polytheism (Baal/Bull worship).

    The second Hebrew temple became a bank (issuing loans with interest was a Babylonian mechanism in order to enslave people), before the Romans destroyed it. Only the Essenic Hebrews kept the true faith of Moses the Hebrew, which was passed through Jesus Christ to Christianity.

    The first Hebrew temple was not the will of Moses, so it was not a coincidence the Hebrew prophets like Ezekiel warned their people for their idle temple/objects worship.

    Not only is our blessed brother Nathanael a true Christian, Nathanael Kapner also kept the true Hebrew faith inspired by Moses. I can be wrong, but this what I believe.

    They own our academia also.

    Twenty percent of Harvard, I read, are Jewish. Nobel Prizes are awarded to Jews disproportionately to their numbers.

    They are masters of propaganda, as they were in pre-Nazi Germany and controlled all of the same institutions there at that time as they do here and now, most importantly lending money to the goy at high interest rates.

    I think it will take the return of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, to make them change and realize how wrong they have been. Those, however, who have embraced Satan…the ‘Prince of this world’… will never change.

    Prayer is probably inadequate for the task at hand.

    We need to change the geopolitical system which is a global war system controlled by a cabal or if you like, the Very Deep State. And yes, Jewish Zionists are part of it, but I don’t consider Zionists to be “real” Jews. Real Jews are for world peace and justice for all. (Welcome to the Earth Federation.)

    The world community and the peace seeking nations at the UN must join forces and establish a “new UN,” given the tools to deal with the Zionists, Big Money, and Predatory Capitalism.

    Like Nathan, Rich and myself there will be a growing number of “defectors” from the ruling class. I’m one of them. We will need some defectors of those who own Media, and from the 1% ruling class.

    The UN must be transformed into a “new UN” under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (aka Earth Constitution). This Constitution is the gift to humanity waiting to be embraced.

    There are a majority of nations weary of their second class citizenship in the UN, and who may be willing to work with activists (world citizen/world federalists) to create a “new UN”.

    “Real” Jews (ie, progressives) can save the Jewish faith by joining with the rest of us to put an end to the Zionist wet dream of Empire, and the .1% determination to control the world.

    The vast majority of aggravated robberies, murders, and violent crimes committed with guns come from felons, repeat offenders already barred by law from having a gun.

    Yet anti-gun Jews like Schumer, Feinstein, Nadler, Blumenthal, Bloomberg, along with the Jews Media never take action to stop convicted criminals from having guns.

    Instead, the Jews only want laws to prevent innocent citizens from having guns. The Jews want criminals to have guns and innocent people to be disarmed and defenseless.

    Yesterday President Trump ordered the assassination of senior Iraqi and Iranian military leaders in Baghdad, claiming without evidence that they were plotting against Americans in Iraq.

    While neocons and the media cheer the attack, no one seems interested in asking “what’s the end game”? Especially as Iraq now urgently wants US troops out of the country. Is Trump going to go to war with Iraq (again) AND Iran?”

    It’s time to exile the entire spectrum of neo-liberal-con Zionist warmongering pathological liars of our federal and state governments and their perpetual lies to Israhell — Satan’s kingdom of liars, murderers and thieves.

    ~~~*~~~

    The assassination of these two military leaders is the equivalent of assassinating someone on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and it will not go unanswered by Iran.

    Regardless of whether Q-nonsense devotees believe Trump to still be playing some form of mythical 12th dimensional global chess or not, chess came from India where the game was invented six centuries B.C, then passed to the Persians who passed it on to the Arab Muslim world, then to Southern Europe.

    The Iranians are one of the oldest continuous civilizations in the world, who do truly understand what ‘the long game’ really means in the history of the world.

    For ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson’s pointed and concise analysis mentioned by McDaniels, ‘Did Donald Trump Light the Fuse on a New Middle East War?’, (excerpt)

    “What is the end game with Iran? That is the question that Donald Trump and his advisors should have answered before giving the green light to kill the head of Iran’s Quds force, Qassem Soleimani, and the head of Iraq’s Poplar Mobilization Forces, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. But instead of worrying about the long term objective, the Trump Administration opted for the quick hit.

    Let’s be clear about what we just did–we assassinated two key military and political leaders on the sovereign territory of Iraq without the permission of the Iraqi Government. We justify this attack because of prior Shia terrorist attacks during the 2003-2008 period in Iraq that killed U.S. troops.

    There is no evidence or valid intelligence that shows Soleimani directing Iraqi Shia militias to attack and kill US troops. None. But those facts do not matter. Judging from the media reaction on cable news, there is a lot of whooping and celebrating the death of Soleimani as a decisive blow against terrorism.

    Boy we showed those Iranians who is boss. But that is not how the Iranians see it and that is not how a significant portion of the Iraqi Shia population see it.

    From their perspective this is the equivalent of the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor. It is an unjustified act of war. I am not arguing that they are right. I am simply pointing how the Iranian leadership likely views this act.

    I fear that this action will unleash series of retaliatory strikes that are likely to escalate and get out of control. I pray for the sake of our nation and military personnel that I am wrong.

    Despite the perpetual drumbeat in this country hyping the Iranian terrorist threat, Iran has engaged in very little terrorism over the past decade. (The facts are posted here).

    They shifted their actions to more conventional military operations and shied away from directly attacking U.S. forces. The attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion were carried out by Iraqi Shia militias acting on their own.

    They were not carrying out attacks at the behest of the Iranian regime because the Mullahs realized that the U.S. policy in Iraq was paving the way for Iranian control/dominance.

    The Trump Administration’s decision to carry out this attack is going to elicit a reaction from Iran that is likely to involve Saudi Arabia, Israel and U.S. military, diplomatic and economic targets. I do not rule out the possibility that Iran will content itself with filing protests and opting for a policy of restraint. But I think that is the least likely option.

    More likely is that Iran will get back into the terrorist game and do so in a big way.

    Highly recommended analysis by the Duran below.

    The only criticism is that Christoforou and Mercouris are running the spin that “Trump is playing along” with the war-mongers in this fiasco.

    Sorry guys, Trump ordered it, Trump owns it, and owns all the consequences.

    This US drone assassination based on non-existent evidence of Solemeini’s involvement on an alleged Katushya attack on a military base in Kirkuk, and equally fictional involvement in the spontaneous, completely unarmed Iraqi militia protests at the US embassy compound, occurred on sovereign soil of what is supposed to be an allied country, of an Iranian government/military official openly making a formal visit to Baghdad to meet with Iraqi government officials.

    Angry, but entirely unarmed People’s Mobilization Force members, mostly Shi’ites, the majority population, showed up at the US embassy compound entrance after attending funerals of their comrades, protesting the unjustified US bombings of their Iraqi compatriots and official members of the Iraqi armed forces in five Iraqi bases which cause those deaths.

    There are Iraqi Christian, Sunni, and even Kurdish members of the PMF, and they showed up at the funerals and the later protests, too.

    But Trump saw an opportunity to show what a great POTUS he is compared to Obama to make sure that everyone knows that he, the Decider-in-Chief, was going to show that Jewmerica has its swagger back.

    In his grandiose thinking, the militarist President Bonespurs will erase the national humiliation of the capture of the US Embassy in Tehran taken and held hostage back in 1979 by anti-Western, anti-Big Oil, anti-Shah student revolutionaries determined to undue the CIA/MI6’s 1953 government coup, resulting in the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979-1981.

    Then there are Obama’s debacle of Benghazi, and “Black Hawk Down” in Mogadishu, Somalia, to be instantly erased by blaming General Soleimanei for instigating an act of popular anger over US militarism with protests at the US Embassy compound.

    The general showed up in Baghdad Airport flying in from elsewhere on official business to meet with Iraqi officials, therefore Soleimanei was guilty of these rumors.

    From what I can tell reviewing pictures and various videos, no protestors ever got inside the heavily fortified compound through the security entrance to the embassy building itself. All of the buildings in the walled embassy compound are hardened, and the compound itself is the size of Vatican City.

    Nor is it obvious that they actually desired to attack the US embassy and take it Tehran style, since they didn’t come armed.

    Who, especially very angry combat-hardened members of the Iraqi armed forces, walks en mass from a funeral they’ve just attended, and in the middle of the day, comes to “storm” a heavily US embassy without any firearms whatsoever, hand grenades, mortars, heavy armored vehicles, military grade battering rams, or any kind of explosives with the intent of taking the embassy over, and without anything in the way of small surveillance drones, or radio communication systems, and other stuff necessary for an organized “storming”?

    If Soleimani was the mastermind behind this nefarious plot, considered one of the most highly capable organized covert operators in the world, he did a very, very shabby job of it.

    Another Tehran or Benghazi it wasn’t. And Mogadishu? Iraqi social media reported US Blackhawk helicopter had been circling the Iranian embassy, located a mile or two northwest of the Green Zone and the US Embassy compound almost 24/7 since before the protests broke out, clearly an attempt to harass and intimidate the Iranian diplomats.

    I don’t know if it’s actually related or not, but this circling Black Hawk strikes me as someone’s idea of flipping the bird at Iran (and Bill Clinton) for what was ultimately a botched 1993 US special forces operation to capture two commanders of a militia loyal to a Somali warlord.

    The PMF protestors burned some trees, out-buildings like guard shacks, vandalized the fortification walls and other objects with spray paint graffiti, managed to damage the very heavy mortar-resistant guard station windows picking up some metal cylindrical objects to use as battering rams, and it looks like they vandalized some low cement vehicle blocks outlining the area they were in. No one was injured; embassy staff had all been evacuated.

    Many civilians began showing up at the protests. Eventually, the Iraqi federal police lined up in a anti-riot skirmish line protecting the security entry way after partially breeching the drop down security door where it looks like vehicles drove through.

    Besides, the US Embassy compound and the formerly heavily fortified larger Green Zone, sits on soil commandeered (stolen) for the US and Western allied neocon pashas running the occupation Iraqi Provisional Authority Government, and later the Iraqi Interim Government after Bush’s invasion of Iraq in 2003, pouring at least $5 billion into building the US embassy fortress compound.

    I wonder if the US has ever compensated the Iraqis for this land theft?

    Israel had better watch where it steps, too. Iran’s Quds Force isn’t named the ‘Jerusalem Force’ for nothing, which is what Quds means.

    Fact is, two years ago to the day, MintPress News reported that Trumpean US & Netanyahuvean Israel had jointly given the green light to assassinate him as “being a danger to both countries’ national interests), Soleimani’s convoy was struck from the air.

    See: Birth Of An Insurgency: The US-Israeli “Secret Deal” To Manipulate Protests In Iran
    https://www.mintpressnews.com/birth-insurgency-us-israeli-secret-deal-manipulate-protests-iran/236009/

    There’s a reason why the United States never just killed Nikita Khrushchev. Or Fidel Castro. Or the Ayatollah, or any top brass or official of any government or military organization, and why Reagan banned US-targeted assassinations by executive order about 1981. The logic is simple: if we kill them, we make it easier for others to do the same to us.

    With Trump’s odious and severe breach of all diplomatic and international relation norms and immunities by launching a drone strike on General Soleimani after just arriving at Baghdad Airport on official Iranian government business, there will be dead Americans if and when Iran (or just as likely independent so-called “Iran-proxy” Middle East actors elsewhere) decides to target a senior official anywhere in the world — especially going to or coming from an international airport, at the time of their choosing.

    He committed an act of war against two sovereign countries — Iran and Iraq.

    And Adelson is swooning in ecstasy.

    The Duran: Soleimani Asassination: Trap Set For Iran War

    The Duran Quick Take: Episode 421.

    The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the United States’ shocking decision to kill Iran’s top general in a drone strike at Baghdad’s airport on Friday, triggering warnings of a “dangerous escalation” in the region.

    The targeted assassination of Genral Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, is a sinister trap meant to push Iran into retaliation, that would then prompt Trump to escalate the situation into a far larger conflict between the United States and Iran.

    And as he swaggers each goy he buggers goes, “Ahhh..!”

    Oy, how they hate him so madly!
    How they’re all dying to kill him
    Dreams of the days of Zyklon B
    ‘Cause each day when he walks down the street.
    He’s got the world under his feet

    Short and pale and bald and homely
    The J** from New York City goes walking
    And as he swaggers we die
    But he doesn’t see….

    Ayatollah Khamenei has appointed Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani, the previous deputy commander of Quds force and Soleimani’s right hand man of 22 years, as Soleimani’s replacement.

    The Epoch Times reports Russia’s reaction: Moscow Condemns Killing of Iranian General as Tensions Escalate in Middle East

    Russia has condemned the U.S. strike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani while offering condolences to Iran in a move that’s sure to heighten animosity between Washington and Moscow.

    French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke over the phone on Friday about the situation in Iraq after the strike in Baghdad that killed Soleimani, who headed the powerful Quds Force and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps—a designated foreign terrorist organization.

    In a readout of their phone call, the “two presidents first reviewed the situation in Iraq” and both agreed to stay in close contact “for the next few days to avoid another dangerous escalation of tensions and to call on all parties to hold back.” According to the Kremlin, the call was initiated by Macron.

    “This action can seriously aggravate the situation in the region,” Putin was quoted as saying to Macron, reported the AFP news agency.

    At the same time, Russia’s Foreign Ministry told RIA that the killing of Soleimani could increase tensions in the region.

    “We consider the killing of Soleimani as the result of an American missile strike in the vicinity of Baghdad to be a bold step that will lead to increased tension throughout the region.

    “Soleimani was devoted to protecting Iran’s national interests,” RIA, a state-run news outlet, quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying.

    “Such actions do not create … find solutions to complex problems in the Middle East. On the contrary, it will lead to a new round of escalation of tensions in the region,” added Russia’s Foreign Ministry in a statement on its website, according to VOA.

    The ministry also noted that Soleimani “faithfully served and defended the national interests of Iran” and offered condolences to the Iranian people after his death.

    The reaction highlights Iran’s and Russia’s close relationship after the two nations forged ever more ties in its four-year military alliance in Syria, where Moscow and Tehran have come to the aid of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.

    Reuters reported that Soleimani had met with Putin and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in Moscow in 2016, but Russian and Iranian officials denied that the meeting ever took place. Soleimani was placed on an [UN] international travel ban list.

    In May of last year, Kathryn Wheelbarger, the acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, warned that Iran and Russia were both attempting to gain more influence over the Middle East that will adversely affect U.S. interests in the region.

    “Even understanding historical mistrust between Moscow and Tehran, the United States and the region must be mindful when revisionist powers cooperate,” Wheelbarger said, according to Foreign Policy. “We are watching this relationship closely.”

    As noted by VOA, Russia was also at odds with the Trump administration’s abandonment of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. In the meantime, Moscow was working with Germany and France to get around U.S. sanctions.

    “The last hopes for resolving the problem of the Iran nuclear program have been bombed to shreds,” said Konstantin Kosachev, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee in Russia’s upper chamber, in a statement. “Iran can now push forward its nuclear program, even if it wasn’t planning to,” added Kosachev.

    Well, I was a little off about the damage done to US Embassy compound outer facilities by the protesters.

    They did manage to gain entry into the fortified outer facilities containing the security checkpoint and reception area and utterly torched it.

    The main embassy building set back some distance away (a few hundred feet, I believe) wasn’t touched at all.

    I have yet to find any clear diagrams of just where the protests were in relation to the embassy building itself. The MSM has been remarkably reluctant the past few years to publish accurate maps and diagrams of major incidents, unless they are propaganda cartoons.

    There are several large buildings in the sprawling embassy compound, as well as outer facilities and outbuildings, which is just about the size of Vatican City.

    The Green Zone itself, the district in Baghdad containing other embassies and Iraqi government facilities, once also a completely fortified area after the US occupation, surrounding the 106 acre US Embassy compound, was finally completely open to normal foot and vehicular traffic at the beginning of 2019.

    The Green Zone was shut down to outside traffic during the protests I believe against the Iranian embassy that broke out last fall.

    The protest went on for two days, and finally the unarmed protesters disbursed. At no time does there seem to have been any effort to acquire any weapons or explosives, and as a great number were members of the PMF, they would have had easy access.

    Sputnik: Photos: Devastation Inside Torched US Embassy in Baghdad Revealed

    Three days after thousands of angry Iraqi protesters laid siege to the US Embassy in Baghdad, photos have emerged of the devastation wrought, including the torched outer areas of the facility.

    Photographers from the Associated Press were permitted Wednesday to take pictures of the damaged areas of the US Embassy in Iraq, a fortified facility located inside the International Zone, formerly called the Green Zone, in central Baghdad.

    A day prior, several thousand Iraqis, angered by a slew of US airstrikes against the Iraqi Shiite militia Kata’ib Hezbollah that killed 25 militia members and left 51 other people injured, marched to the US Embassy and attempted to enter it.

    As Iraqi police refused to stop them the protesters set fire to the outer parts of the sprawling walled complex.

    The photos show the facility’s charred reception room as well as a checkpoint, both gutted by flames and with many windows smashed.

    The demonstrators, some of whom hailed from militias that, like Kata’ib Hezbollah, are part of the country’s Popular Mobilization Forces, retreated hours later amid tear gas and nonlethal crowd dispersal weapons fired by police.

    Washington quickly shuffled 100 more US Marines, which are tasked with defending the country’s diplomatic facilities around the world, into Baghdad from Kuwait to further fortify the embassy.

    They were accompanied by two Apache attack helicopters, which flew patrols around the Iraqi capital, firing off flares to intimidate would-be protesters.

    In the aftermath of the US airstrikes as well as the Thursday assassination of Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad Airport at the hands of US forces, Iraq’s parliament has announced it will convene an extraordinary session on Sunday as lawmakers seek to legally evict US forces from the country.

    France kicked them out 7 times.

    Maybe they can all be sent to Australia after they finish burning it to the ground with their geoengineering, pending the solar minimum and possible ice age.

    Plenty of charred calves to dance around too ‘on the beach’ where ‘the sand don’t pay no mind’ (to these ‘alluminated’ fires).

    E Michael Jones Libido Dominandi has a good take on Lutherism, the lure of sex for priests and nuns being a big factor for conversion (reversion), carnie offerings for Trump’s chumps and pimps’ chimps.

    Crikey!

    Pence is really winding up the hot air-driven lying propaganda pipe organ! He just can’t stand the fact that many people don’t think much of ‘American Exceptionalism’ and can’t stand the Vassal States of Israel’s wars on, and occupations of, the countries of the Middle East and Central Asia.

    How ungrateful of the Iraqis not to appreciate the 400,000 killed, and the millions maimed and injured (some with generational DU induced genetic defects), and the utter destruction of their country in the US war, invasion and occupation of the sovereign state of Iraq in 2003, on the bogus claims of Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction”.

    Oh, and there’s the little matter of al-Qaeda/ISIS incubating under the watchful eye of Israel and the US as well, to be nurtured when the little monsters hatched.

    His tweets consolidated by a thread reader.

    Did you know Soleimani was the real mastermind behind 9/11? There really is way more evidence of Saudi involvement than Iranian, in covert, back-door partnership with Israel and a small circle of privy American Jews.

    Yesterday, President @realDonaldTrump took decisive action and stood up against the leading state sponsor of terror to take out an evil man who was responsible for killing thousands of Americans. Soleimani was a terrorist. Here are some of his worst atrocities:

    Organized the attempted assassination of the Saudi ambassador to the United States in Washington, DC in 2011, overseeing a terrorist attack attempt on American soil.

    Provided advanced deadly explosively formed projectiles, advanced weaponry, training, and guidance to Iraqi insurgents used to conduct attacks on U.S. and coalition forces; directly responsible for the death of 603 U.S. service members, along with thousands of wounded.

    Directed the sophisticated January 20, 2007, attack on the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in Karbala, Iraq, in which five captured U.S. soldiers were executed.

    In Afghanistan, Soleimani oversaw the IRGC’s financial, logistical, and military support to the Taliban and sponsors attacks on Coalition forces.
    Provided missiles and other advanced weapons to terrorists throughout the Middle East, including Lebanese Hizballah, Kata’ib Hizballah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, HAMAS, and the Taliban, who use these weapons to target and kill innocents.

    Directed IRGC QF terrorist plots to bomb innocent civilians in Turkey and Kenya in 2011.

    Continued support to the murderous regime in Syria, aiding and abetting Assad’s brutal abuses against the Syrian people.

    Played a direct role in financing, equipping, and training Lebanese Hizballah forces conducting terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians during Hizballah’s 2006 campaign.

    In Yemen, the Qods Force, under Soleimani’s leadership, has orchestrated and enabled the launch of missiles that have resulted in the deaths of dozens of people in the region. Targets have included civilian airports in Saudi Arabia.

    Assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

    Soleimani was plotting imminent attacks on American diplomats and military personnel. The world is a safer place today because Soleimani is gone.

    American Herald Tribune:

    Philip Giraldi

    The Soleimani Assassination: The Long-Awaited Beginning of The End of America’s Imperial Ambitions

    The United States is now at war with Iran in a conflict that could easily have been avoided and it will not end well.

    There will be no declaration of war coming from either side, but the assassination of Iranian Quds Force Commander General Qassem Soleimani and the head of Kata’ib Hezbollah Abu Mehdi Muhandis by virtue of a Reaper drone strike in Baghdad will shift the long-simmering conflict between the two nations into high gear.

    Iran cannot let the killing of a senior military officer go unanswered even though it cannot directly confront the United States militarily.

    But there will be reprisals and Tehran’s suspected use of proxies to stage limited strikes will now be replaced by more damaging actions that can be directly attributed to the Iranian government.

    As Iran has significant resources locally, one can expect that the entire Persian Gulf region will be destabilized.

    And there is also the terrorism card, which will come into play. Iran has an extensive diaspora throughout much of the Middle East and, as it has been threatened by Washington for many years, it has had a long time to prepare for a war to be fought largely in the shadows.

    No American diplomat, soldier or even tourists in the region should consider him or herself to be safe, quite the contrary.

    It will be an “open season” on Americans. The U.S. has already ordered a partial evacuation of the Baghdad Embassy and has advised all American citizens to leave the country immediately.

    Donald Trump rode to victory in 2016 on a promise to end the useless wars in the Middle East, but he has now demonstrated very clearly that he is a liar.

    Instead of seeking detente, one of his first actions was to end the JCPOA nuclear agreement and re-introduce sanctions against Iran.

    In a sense, Iran has from the beginning been the exception to Trump’s no-new-war pledge, a position that might reasonably be directly attributed to his incestuous relationship with the American Jewish community and in particular derived from his pandering to the expressed needs of Israel’s belligerent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Trump bears full responsibility for what comes next.

    The neoconservatives and Israelis are predictably cheering the result, with Mark Dubowitz of the pro-Israel Foundation for Defense of Democracies enthusing that it is “bigger than bin Laden…a massive blow to the [Iranian] regime.”

    Dubowitz, whose credentials as an “Iran expert” are dubious at best, is at least somewhat right in this case. Qassem Suleimani is, to be sure, charismatic and also very popular in Iran.

    He is Iran’s most powerful military figure in the entire region, being the principal contact for proxies and allies in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. But what Dubowitz does not understand is that no one in a military hierarchy is irreplaceable.

    [Suleimani’s deputy general and right hand man of 22 years has already been appointed as his replacement of the Quds Forces. And, how soon it’s forgotten that Suleimani fought as an ally of the US against the Taliban in Afghanistan, 2001. – Kj]

    Suleimani’s aides and high officials in the intelligence ministry are certainly more than capable of picking up his mantle and continuing his policies.

    In reality, the series of foolish attacks initiated by the United States over the past week will only hasten the departure of much of the U.S. military from the region.

    The Pentagon and White House have been insisting that Iran was behind an alleged Kata’ib Hezbollah attack on a U.S. installation that then triggered a strike by Washington on claimed militia targets in Syria and also inside Iraq.

    Even though the U.S. military presence is as a guest of the Iraqi government, Washington went ahead with its attack even after the Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi said “no.”

    To justify its actions, Mark Esper, Secretary of Defense, went so far as to insist that “Iran is at war with the whole world,” a clear demonstration of just how ignorant the White House team actually is.

    The U.S. government characteristically has not provided any evidence demonstrating either Iranian or Kata’ib involvement in recent developments, but after the counter-strike killed 26 Iraqi soldiers, the mass demonstrations against the Embassy in Baghdad became inevitable.

    The demonstrations were also attributed to Iran by Washington even though the people in the street were undoubtedly Iraqis.

    Now that the U.S. has also killed Suleimani and Muhandis in a drone strike at Baghdad Airport, clearly accomplished without the approval of the Iraqi government, it is inevitable that the prime minister will ask American forces to leave.

    That will in turn make the situation for the remaining U.S. troops in neighboring Syria untenable.

    And it will also force other Arab states in the region to rethink their hosting of U.S. soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen due to the law of unanticipated consequences as it is now clear that Washington has foolishly begun a war that serves no one’s interests.

    The blood of the Americans, Iranians and Iraqis who will die in the next few weeks is clearly on Donald Trump’s hands as this war was never inevitable and served no U.S. national interest.

    It will surely turn out to be a debacle, as well as devastating for all parties involved.

    And it might well, on top of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya, be the long-awaited beginning of the end of America’s imperial ambitions. Let us hope so!

    WAYNE MADSEN ON IRAN
    —————————————-

    January 3-5, 2020 — Soleimani coordinated the battle against ISIS in Iraq with U.S. and its allies

    Tikrit

    It was less than five years ago that U.S. troops in Iraq were coordinating with Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and members of his elite Al Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) attacks on the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq. The Al Quds Force is the foreign expeditionary arm of the IRGC.

    A 2015 photograph showed Soleimani [circled] in Tikrit, the hometown of the late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, along with U.S., Iraqi government, British, and French forces, as well as members of the Iraqi Shi’a Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). During the battle with ISIL, Soleimani also coordinated operations against the Saudi-backed jihadist forces with Perhmergaparamilitary forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq.

    The 2015 photo illustrates the battlefield operational ties between Soleimani and the Americans in wresting control of Tikrit from ISIL forces. In fact, Soleimani personally led U.S.-armed Iraqi government military forces and Iraqi Shi’a paramilitary units in the successful battle of Tikrit, an accomplishment that earned him hero status among the Iranian people and many Iraqis, in addition to the grudging respect of U.S. and allied military commanders in Iraq. Soleimani was so popular among Iranians that he was considered to have been a potential presidential candidate to replace incumbent president Hassan Rouhani.

    The U.S. embassy in Baghdad coordinated U.S. air cover for Soleimani’s Al Quds personnel and members of the Iraqi Shi’a Badr Army. The Badr units were headed by Iraqi member of parliament and former Iraqi Transportation Minister Hadi Al-Amiri, who was taken into custody in Baghdad by U.S. Marines following the assassination of Soleimani. It was Al-Amiri who then-U.S. ambassador to Iraq Stuart Jonespromised U.S. air support for his and Soleimani’s forces in the battle for Tikrit.

    Tikrit was not the first time Soleimani worked with U.S. forces against a common enemy. In 2001, after the 9/11 attack, Soleimani’s Al Quds Force coordinated attacks against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan with U.S. military forces. The cooperation ceased in 2002 after George W. Bush decided to include Iran on a list of “Axis of Evil” nations. Neo-conservatives then began spreading the falsehood that Iran was backing the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

    On January 3, Soleimani, who was transiting through Baghdad International Airport en route to Iran from a trip to Syria, where IRGC forces continue to fight against ISIL, the Al Nusra Front, and other Saudi- and Turkish-backed Sunni jihadist forces, was assassinated by missiles fired from a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone. The action, which had no U.S. congressional authorization, was ordered by Donald Trump, according to a Pentagon press release. Israel and Saudi Arabia were informed beforehand about the attack and both reportedly endorsed Trump’s action. Speaking from Greece before returning to Israel, Israeli indicted prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, praised Trump’s decision to assassinate Soleiman. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo informed Chinese Politburo Member Yang Jiechi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about Trump’s decision to kill Soleimani.

    There is a strong indication that Trump told his son, Eric Trump, about the decision to target Soleimani two days before the attack occurred. Eric Trump, in a December 31, 2019 tweet that he has since deleted, wrote, “Bout to open a big ‘ol can of whoop ass.” The tweet included a hashtag for the Twitter feed of Jack Posobiec, a lunatic right-wing conspiracy theorist who appears on the far-right “news” channel One America News Network (OANN).

    China, Russia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Lebanese Hezbollah, the Houthi-led government of Yemen, Hamas, and France condemned the assassination of Soleimani. In a tweet, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif called the U.S. killing of Soleimani a “dangerous and foolish escalation.” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei named as Soleimani’s replacement, Al Quds Force deputy commander, Esmail Qaani.In commenting on Soleimani’s assassination, Khamenei issued a January 3 statement: “Martyrdom was his reward for years of implacable efforts. With his departure and with God’s power, his work and path will not cease and severe revenge awaits those criminals who have tainted their filthy hands with his blood and the blood of the other martyrs of last night’s incident.”

    The U.S. assassination of Soleimani and at least one Iraqi Shi’a militia leader represents the second major abandonment of an erstwhile U.S. ally in the Middle East. Last year, in an agreement with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trump gave permission for the Turks and their jihadist allies to ethnically cleanse Syrian Kurds and their militia and government from Rojava in northern and eastern Syria. Several hundred Syria Kurds were massacred after Trump’s green light to the Turks.

    Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi called the U.S. assassination of Soleimani a “flagrant violation of his nation’s security agreement with the United States.”

    Killed at Baghdad airport, along with Soleimani, was the Iraqi commander of the PMF, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who also founded the Shi’a group Kataib Hezbollah, which is part of the PMF. The two killings have led to furher massive protests at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.

    The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory urging “U.S. citizens to depart Iraq immediately.”

    U.S. and Israeli propaganda outlets, including Fox News, Washington Examiner, the Jerusalem Post and others, claimed Soleimani was responsible for “thousands” of U.S. deaths arising from terrorist attacks carried out by his Al Quds Force. In a tweet sent on the morning of January 3, Trump falsely wrote that Soleimani had been responsible for “the deaths of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself.” On January 3, Pompeo tweeted a dubiously-sourced video claiming to show Iraqis dancing on a street in Baghdad while carrying an oversized Iraqi flag in celebration of Soleimani’s assassination.

    The photo of Soleimani alongside U.S., French, British, Kurdish, and Iraqi government and paramilitary forces belies Trump’s and the neo-conservatives’ lies about Soleiman having had the blood of “thousands” to “millions” of people, including U.S. troops, on his hands.

    Last year, Soleimani sharply criticized Pakistan for giving safe haven to a radical Sunni group, Jaish al-Adl, that carried out a suicide bombing that killed 27 IRGC troops on February 13, 2019 in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan province. Soleimani stated: “Are you [Pakistan], who have atomic bombs, unable to destroy a terrorist group with several hundred members in the region? How many of your own people have been killed in different terrorist operations? We do not want your condolences, how could your condolence help the people of Iran?”

    The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the Saudis are believed to give support to Jaish al-Adl and other anti-Iran Baluchi terrorst groups that target Iran.

    And that brings up a key question. When Trump and his supporters and enablers, as well as all Democratic presidential candidates, call Soleimani a terrorist, who are the actual terrorists?”

    According to Gordon Duff the jew Ivanka Trump gave the orders to kill the general, perhaps from the Kushner’s 666 address in New York.

    But what to do with the jews once they start swimming to America? “Beyond the Pale” didn’t work. The holohoax didn’t work.

    Maybe encouraging the jews to swim past Sable Island in the mid-Atlantic is an idea. The island is surrounded by white sharks and nothing deals with a loan shark like a white shark.

    In the end I guess its a personal moral decision. Once they start appearing off Long Island do you hand them a life jacket or an anchor?

  54. Ted Gorsline January 4, 2020 @ 5:31 am

    The Toronto Star had an interesting story about the arrest of two Iraníans on terrorist charges a few months ago.

    They had the location all of Toronto’s rich jews mapped out.

    That information will be in Iran.

    Canada is a safe haven for radical jews. I am told that the Jewish Defence League, that is considered a terrorist organzation and is illegal in the U:S.A. has offices in Canada where they are allowed to operate.

    It seems that the Iranians know where the richest jews live already. The Star story quoted the Iranians as saying many of the richest jews in the world live on one street in Toronto.

    The Iranians obviously already know that their problems are not just with the state of Israel buit also with anyone, anywhere on earth, who supports the state of Israel.

    You have to wonder if the recent killing of the $billionaire Jewish Sherman family in Toronto is related and is just the beginning of things to come?

    The jews through the Mossad, really just a collection of hit men for the Rothschild family, have already kicked things off by murdering at least 2,800 people.

    The IDF as policy deliberately murders children, peace activists, nurses and journalists. Israeli onwed CNN whine about the Kashoggi murder but the IDF policy has been to murder journalists for decades.

    Payback is to be expected and I would think the richest jewish banking families will be the target.

    Its interesting that Gordon Duff said Israel already has 10 ICBMs aimed at North America.

    One of the North American cities target for nuclear destruction will be Montreal. The jews and French Canadians don’t get along.

    The man who told me that was Jewish oligarch Vladimir Gusinski himself when he was the number 2 man in the Internationa Jewish Congress led by Edgar Bronfman, who Gordon Duff says was one of the planners of 9/11.

  55. Ted Gorsline January 4, 2020 @ 8:42 am

    Addenda,

    The 2,800 people the Mossad has murdered, mentioned above, does not include the 3,000 innocent Americans they murdered on 9/11. The real total is at least 5,800.

    There must be a huge number of people seeking payback right now. You can’t bribe them all.

    False-flag ‘Anti-Semitic’ Attack.

    WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) – Police are crediting technology for helping them solve the case about a man who said he was stabbed in an anti-Semitic attack December 15.

    Sean Sammit said he was attacked as he left a synagogue that day in the Jewish community in West Bloomfield. But police say he made up the whole story – and that they found out thanks to the information on his Apple watch.

    Police are crediting their investment in technology as one way that helped them crack the case

    Sammitt is a former employee at Temple Kol Ami on Walnut Lake Road. West Bloomfield police say Sammitt claimed a man shouted anti-Semitic comments then stabbed him as he left work. Sammitt told police he fought the attacker off and drove himself to Henry Ford hospital.

    But police say his story didn’t add up, and a thorough search of the parking lot found no evidence. That’s when they analyzed Samitt’s Apple watch and looked at his heart rate when Samitt claimed the attack happened.

    Investigators say it was normal and should have been higher. But the watch showed before the attack that Samitt’s heart rate was elevated.

    That led police into the synagogue, where they say they found bloody tissues and a knife Samitt used to stab himself.

    Jews Dancing the Hava Nagila Over The United Vassal States of Israel Murdering Gen. Soleimani and al-Muhandis’ in Baghdad

    Not sorry to say, it won’t make Israel any safer after all. Soleimani and al-Muhandis were heroes to millions of Arabs and Muslims world wide, and now they are elevated to military martyrs.

    Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have turned out for their funeral processions, their coffins carried on red carpets rolled out for them.

    Thousands of Iraqis accompanied Soleimani’s coffin to the airport to be flown home to Tehran. Iraqi PM Adel Abdul Mahdi and former PM Nuri al-Maliki also attended the funeral.

    And now American soldiers occupying foreign territories are going to die…for Israel once again.

    While partisans resisting the superior strength of a foreign military occupation may resort to irregular warfare terrorist tactics against the occupying force targeting only military and government facilities, real political terrorists act like, oh, you know, the criminal Jewish terrorist gangs before, during, and after WWII, viciously attacking the British Mandate government, the Arabs, and anyone else that got in the thugs way.

    The British in those days were a sterner bunch. The British military tried Jewish terrorists, and when found guilty, hung them as terrorists, especially when they kidnapped British soldiers and then hanged them. When the Jewish terrorists kidnapped and publicly whipped some British soldiers, the English on the home front rose up and burned an Anglo-Jewish synagogue, leaving graffiti that read, “You whip, we burn!”

    In other words, if the Jewish terrorists continued to kidnap and flog British soldiers, for every incident another synagogue would burn at home.

    Israel was founded as a criminal terrorist state, and it still is.

    “Soleimani has the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands.” Of course no one brings up the context, having you believe that “the Americans” were as innocent as lambs.

    No, the “Americans” were US soldiers at war with Iraqis, who invaded their country and destroyed it, set up a military and foreign occupation government in 2003, and then a number of resistance groups sprang up because of this phenomenal and hubristic stupidity of the Jew-owned, neo-con, GW Bush administration.

    Soleimani help lead an Iraqi Shi’ite insurrection against the US-coalition occupiers living like pashas in the ultra-fortified Green Zone, a prime district of Baghdad stolen from the Iraqi people.

    Americans have the blood of 400,000 Iraqis on their hands just since 2003, and will never live down the vicious legacy of Fallujah.

    That doesn’t count the dead Iraqis from the first US invasion of Iraq during the Gulf War 1991-1992, nor the million or more Iraqis who suffered and starved to death under US economic blockade of Iraq between 1992 and 2003, deprived of food, fertilizers, necessities, life-saving medicines, and water purification chemicals, so succumbing to water-born infectious diseases.

    And why? Did the Iraqis ever do anything to ever endanger Americans in our own country? No. Not even Saddam Hussein ever threatened any Americans or the territorial US.

    And neither has Iran, despite that vapid moron Pence now trying to claim that Soleimani was the terrorist mastermind behind 9/11, and Iran guilty of it after all. Sorry Pence, but not even the rotten 9/11 Commission Report implicated Iran or Soleimani. In fact, it explicitly states that neither Iran or Hezbollah had any hand in 9/11, much less even had any intelligence that the disastrous attack was going to occur.

    Hey, Jews, want to see terrorists?

    Go look in the mirror.

    Jewish, Pro-Israel Groups Praise US Strike on Iranian General as ‘Major Step Against Terror’

    By Jackson Richman, Jewish News Service (JNS)

    For the most part, Jewish and pro-Israel groups mostly reacted positively to the U.S. elimination of the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, Maj. Gen, Qassem Soleimani, in a U.S. airstrike in Iraq on Thursday.

    “At the direction of the president, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization,” said the Pentagon in a statement.

    B’nai B’rith International CEO and executive vice president Dan Mariaschin told JNS, “The American strike today was a major step in the war against terror.

    “Soleimani was the chief agent for Iran’s export of terror throughout the region and beyond. Hopefully, this will serve as a strong deterrent to those who would seek to harm the United States and its allies.”

    “The forces who carried out this attack are to be congratulated both in its execution and its impact,” Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told JNS.

    “I think it will rank with the [2011 U.S.] elimination [in Pakistan] of Osama bin Laden. Soleimani was the leader of the Quds Force … who was responsible for the death of many Americans and many others. [He] was clearly the key figure for Iran and Iraq, and Syria.”

    “And the message will not be lost,” he continued. “I hope that no other violence ensues, but it was a landmark event. It proved to be a watershed event as he will be very hard to replace, if it is even possible.”

    While Hoenlein expressed concern over a possible escalation by Iran in response to Soleimani’s death, he said that “the United States messages have been very clear and very strong about the consequences of such action.”

    He added that “many people are not aware about Soleimani as they were about Osama bin Laden.”

    In a tweet shortly after Solemani’s death, U.S. President Donald Trump simply posted a picture of the American flag, making no explicit reference to the successful operation.

    Jewish Democratic Council of America executive director Halie Soifer slammed Trump’s tweet.

    “This tweet exemplifies Trump’s approach to foreign policy. He wraps himself in the (pixelated) flag to justify his recklessness, demonstrating bluster and bravado.

    “No one is shedding any tears for Soleimani, but we need a real strategy and actual leadership for what comes next.”

    “Soleimani was one of the highest-ranked, most important officials in Iran, the leader of the elite special forces within the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,” said Republican Jewish Coalition chairman and former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman in a statement.

    “He is personally responsible for uncountable deaths over more than a decade, including the deaths of over 600 US military personnel in Iraq. He has the blood of civilians in Syria and Yemen on his hands.”

    “He was key to the growth of Hezbollah and other terrorist groups,” he continued. “It is difficult to overstate the role he played in Iran’s bloodiest operations around the region. His death makes the world a safer place.”

    Bla, bla, bla.

    The anti-gentiles must have lots of nasty dirt on Trump to make him order all these bombings, wars, assassinations, and evils.

    Trump’s past associations with Jews Jeff Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell can mean only one thing.

    Like with so many Jews, Maxwell is an alias. The real name of the Maxwell sisters’ father Robert Maxwell is Ján Hyman Binyamin Hoch. Maxwell/Hoch was born into a Jewish family –

    Check out Ghislaine Maxwell’s sisters, their involvement in computer spyware at the highest levels –
    http://www.bitchute.com/video/7j_JjvKK1VE

    The Russia Collusion Scam, Impeachment Scam, and other political pressure is being applied to make Trump sing tunes bankster Jews want to hear, ie the recent assassination.

    Some articles state that bankster Jew George Soros holds mortgages of over 500 million dollars on Trump properties. Trump is putty in bankster hands like so many other ‘important people.’

    Trump is learning what it means to be a prominent politician in this increasingly devilish world. Being a big time politician means being a political puppet whose strings are pulled by bankster Jews.

    Satan is the ruler of this world just as the Bible states.

    The Jews, the children of the devil as Jesus labeled them at John 8:44, are at the upper levels of the human part of Satan’s staff, especially the bankster Jews.

    Rev 16 to 19 seems poised for fulfillment –

    MEMO: Israel’s countdown to achieve the ‘alternative homeland’ in Jordan begins

    Dr Adnan Abu Amer

    The Israeli right is preparing to present a plan to overthrow the Jordanian king after annexing the Jordan Valley in the West Bank to realise the dream of Jordan being converted to Palestine.

    They aim to establish a confederation between the PA and “Palestinian Jordan” because the Israeli right is interested in annexing the West Bank without the millions of Palestinians within it. Forcing them to head to Jordan.

    Israel’s Haaretz newspaper revealed in late December the Israeli right-wing’s approaches and plans, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    This is based on the claims that Israel has major plans for Jordan, but these plans do not include the same king.

    This is evidenced by several articles and reports written by right-wing Israeli writers this month who all present similar justifications and results, the main of them all is to destroy the peace treaty with Jordan.

    Right-wing Israelis believe that annexing the Jordan Valley is a tactical operation aimed at hitting two Israeli birds with one stone: the first is to work to annex the West Bank and cancel the peace agreement with Jordan, and the second is to topple the Hashemite royal family and to embody the dream of Jordan being Palestine.

    READ: Jordan protests expected ahead of Israel gas deal

    It is interesting that this dream is shared by all the Israeli right, with all its components and currents, because they are enthusiastic supporters of the idea that Jordan is Palestine. The ruling Israeli right has begun to detest King Abdullah II.

    When King Abdullah is shamefully toppled, Israel will be able to complete its annexation of the West Bank and establish a confederation between the Palestinian Authority and “Palestinian Jordan”.

    Moreover, according to the Israeli perception, when that happens, the Palestinians in the West Bank will obtain political rights in Jordan.

    According to this Israeli theory, when the Palestinian state is established in Jordan, the Palestinians can resolve their issue, put an end to their suffering and stop using armed operations against Israel, because since 1988, Palestinians in the West Bank have been able to obtain temporary Jordanian passports.

    It is worth noting that the Israeli approach may contradict Jordan’s interest in reducing the total number of Palestinians in the kingdom because it refuses at the moment to receive Palestinian refugees from Syria in the way it allowed Syrian and Iraqi refugees to seek refuge on its soil.

    Perhaps such aspirational Israeli calls towards Jordan are encouraged by the fact that the two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is no longer practical or realistic.

    Meanwhile, there are claims that the alternative solution is the establishment of an Arab Palestinian state east of the Jordan River, which will achieve peace between Israel and Palestine.

    They also claim that the river can be used to transport goods and products from either side, with the Israeli Jewish state on one side and the Arab Palestinian country on the other, side by side.

    READ: Israeli AG warns Netanyahu of annexing Jordan Valley and West Bank settlements

    There is another Israeli scenario of Jordan hosting more Palestinians and instead of the kingdom becoming a Palestinian republic, they become citizens with full rights in the Hashemite Kingdom.

    The return of Gilad Sharon after a long absence was noteworthy. He is the son of the late Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who had strong relations with the late King Hussein, King Abdullah’s father.

    Gilad Sharon returned to claim that the current Jordanian king would not dare to oppose the annexation of the Jordan Valley by Israel, because Israel has him by his weak spot and the continuation of his rule depends on Israel.

    He also said that if the king opened his mouth, Israel would turn off the water tap and leave the kingdom to go thirsty.

    All these are efforts to drive the king to cancel the peace agreement with Israel and allow Tel Aviv to remove him.

    King Abdullah finds himself caught between the anger of the Jordanian public and Israel.

    The situation of his government has become really difficult because his country’s budget is suffering, the sources of income are declining, the Gulf states, which have always been a source of support for Jordan, have reduced their aid, and millions of Arab refugees have flocked to the kingdom in recent years.

    In spite of the increase of tensions between Jordan and Israel over the past year, security coordination between them continues as usual and the intelligence cooperation is at its best.

    This raises questions about the king failing to use this card to pressure Israel unless this cooperation serves him and not the kingdom.

    Mondoweiss: Israel figured in US decision to assassinate Iranian general

    Donald Trump’s justification for assassinating the Iranian military leader Qasim Suleimani on January 2 was Suleimani’s alleged threats to American diplomats and soldiers in Iraq. But even the New York Times cites his responsibility for “waves of militia attacks on Israel” and an attack on Saudi Arabia as reasons for the assassination.

    Many reports suggest that Israeli interests were taken into account in Trump’s decision. Noga Tarnopolsky in 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, says Negar Mortazavi of the Independent.

    “[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 ministers after the fact.

    Sana Saeed of AJPlus observes:

    “Congress didn’t know about the decision to assassinate Soleimani – but guess who did? Israel.”

    Jeff Morley reports that Israeli security officials had recommended the assassination of Suleimani last year. “After Mossad targeted Soleimani, Trump pulled the trigger.” Morley reported last October that Israel appeared to be targeting Suleimani.

    “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.’”

    The New York Times reports 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.]

    Jonathan Ofir writes on Facebook:

    “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.”

    Speaking of AIPAC, the leading Israel lobby group voiced its pleasure at Trump’s decision yesterday and likened Suleimani to Osama bin Laden:

    “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; but Bloomberg 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 Price is 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 the Quincy 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.”

    Marcus is founder of Home Depot and Trump’s second biggest donor after Sheldon Adelson. Far and away Trump’s largest donor, Adelson has said he wished he had served in the Israeli army not the U.S. army. He once urged President Obama to nuke Iran.

    Eli Clifton reported 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:

    “According to tax filings, Marcus’ eponymous foundation has supported hawkish and neoconservative-linked groups like the American Enterprise Institute, Christians United for Israel, Friends of the IDF, the Hoover Institution, the Hudson Institute, the Israel Project, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, the Manhattan Institute, and the Middle East Media Research Institute, as well as other conservative groups like Judicial Watch and the Philanthropy Roundtable.[2] He also sits on the board of directors for the Republican Jewish Coalition.[3]”

    Colin Powell once blamed 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 both widely 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.

    And now Trump is thundering about how Jewmerica will retaliate hard against Iran’s justified retaliation by striking 52 high profile, culturally important Iranian sites.

    Certainly some Jewish brain trust thought it a brilliant move to link said hyper-retaliation with the 52 US Embassy staffers taken hostage during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

    I doubt he came up with that thought by himself. And there is still absolutely no evidence that Soleimani had anything to do with the petty Katyusha rocket attack on a US base that killed a “civilian” American contractor. (Blackwater, was that you in Kirkut?)

    No one has claimed this attack, which is almost always the signature of Israhell’s bloody hand stirring up a false flag here, a false flag there.

    Trump openly threatens war crimes:

    Donald J. Trump
    @realDonaldTrump

    Iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets as revenge for our ridding the world of their terrorist leader who had just killed an American, & badly wounded many others, not to mention all of the people he had killed over his lifetime, including recently hundreds of Iranian protesters.

    He was already attacking our Embassy, and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years.

    Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!
    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1213593965838163968

    The 1954 Hague Convention, of which the United States is a party, bars any military from “direct hostilities against cultural property.”

    However, such sites can be targeted if they have been re-purposed and turned into a legitimate “military objective,” according to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

    Expect the lies and bogus MEK & Mossad intelligence to start surfacing indicating that the cultural properties such as important historical mosques, museums, and antiquities, including 24 UNESCO world heritage sites, have now been “repurposed” by Iran (militarized) to justify any of Trump’s threatened actions.

    Of course this will mean the deaths of thousands of unarmed, civilian Iranian mosque attendees at prayer services, particularly if Trump strikes on a Friday.

    Muqtada al Sadr reactivates Mahdi Army, Promised Day Brigade

    BY BILL ROGGIO AND ✡CALEB WEISS(ENBERG) | January 3, 2020

    In the wake of the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian Qods Force commander Qassem Soleimani and important militia leader Abu Mahdi al Muhandis, radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr has reactivated two of his longstanding militia forces in Iraq.

    In his statement released online, Sadr says that “As an official of the great Iraqi national resistance, I order the mujahideen, particularly the Mahdi Army and the Promised Day Brigade, and whoever commands of us of the resistance factions, to be ready to fully protect Iraq.”

    While offering his condolences to the Iranian government for the death of Soleimani, Sadr’s statement does not explicitly mention any revenge attacks against the U.S. Sadr has worked hard to bolster his image as a Shia leader who is independent of Iran.

    Yet Sadr’s Mahdi Army is known to have received direct support from Soleimani and Qods Force. Sadr, aided by Qods Force, has fled to Iran multiple times after feeling threatened by the U.S. and Iraqi forces.

    Even though Sadr has ordered the reactivation of the militias, it is not entirely accurate that the two have ceased operations. Sadr’s current militia, Saraya al Salam, or the Peace Companies, directly formed from the Mahdi Army/Promised Day Brigade network.

    Sadr has claimed to have disbanded his militias in the past, only to have them revived in another form.

    The Mahdi Army was a driving force in the Shia insurgency in Iraq until Sadr claimed to have disbanded it in 2008 after the U.S. and Iraqi military assaulted it in Baghdad and southern Iraq in 2008.

    Some elements of the Mahdi Army fought under different names, such as Asaib al Haq, which was led by Sadr lieutenant Akram al Kaabi from 2007 to 2010, and Qais al Khazali from 2010 (Kaabi now controls another militia, Harakat al Nujaba, an offshoot of Asaib al Haq).

    The core of the supposedly disbanded Mahdi Army became the Promised Day Brigades. It was tasked with targeting U.S. forces only, however it is known to have carried out many of the functions of the Mahdi Army.

    Sadr formed Saraya al Salam in 2014 to combat the Islamic State as Iraqi forces in northern, central, and western Iraq disintegrated in its wake.

    In 2017, Sadr’s propagandist released videos of the deployment of its so-called “Rapid Intervention Brigade” in Salahadin province. Saraya al Salam fighters were driving tanks and other military vehicles.

    While Sadr has not explicitly threatened U.S. interests in his recent statement, he has done so in the past.

    For instance, in 2016, as the militias and Iraqi security forces prepared to retake Mosul from the Islamic State, Sadr threatened to attack U.S. troops with his militia if additional soldiers were deployed to aid in the fight.

    How much does anyone want to bet that the US will vacate peaceably as directed?

    Not likely. Jewmerica, inspired by the only Jewish criminal terrorist state in the Middle East in doesn’t mind being the illegal, land-thieving, squatter nation in other countries — just look at Syria.

    After 18 years of war, destruction, and US occupation initiated by Jewmerica’s war follies in 2003, the vast majority war-weary Iraqis are sick of the US and Israel.

    Iraq’s Parliament calls for expulsion of U.S. troops

    ABC News

    Iraq’s Parliament is calling for the expulsion of U.S. troops from the country in reaction to the American drone attack that killed a top Iranian general

    BAGHDAD — Iraq’s Parliament called for the expulsion of U.S. forces from the country in reaction to the American drone attack that killed a top Iranian general, raising the prospect of a troop withdrawal that could cripple the battle against the Islamic State group and allow a resurgence of the extremists.

    Lawmakers approved a resolution asking the Iraqi government to end the agreement under which Washington sent troops more than four years ago to help fight ISIS.

    The bill is nonbinding and subject to approval by the Iraqi government but has the backing of the outgoing prime minister.

    But the vote was another sign of the blowback from the U.S. airstrike Friday that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and a number of top Iraqi officials at the Baghdad airport.

    Soleimani was the architect of Iran’s proxy wars across the Mideast and was blamed for the deaths of hundreds of Americans in roadside bombings and other attacks.

    Speaking to lawmakers in Parliament, Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi said that after the killing of Soleimani, the government has two choices: End the presence of foreign troops in Iraq or restrict their mission to training Iraqi forces.

    “As a prime minister and supreme commander of the armed forces, I call for adopting the first choice,” Abdul-Mahdi said.

    Abdul-Mahdi resigned last year in response to the anti-government protests that have engulfed Baghdad and the mostly Shiite southern provinces.

    Political factions have been unable to agree on a new prime minister, and Abdul-Mahdi continues in a caretaker capacity. [Abdul-Mahdi remains as the caretaker prime minister until a new one is elected – Kj]

    Asked shortly before the parliamentary vote whether the U.S. would comply with an Iraqi government request for American troops to leave, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would not answer directly.

    “We’ll watch. We’re following very closely what’s taking place in the Iraqi Parliament,” he told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It is the United States that is prepared to help the Iraqi people get what it is they deserve and continue our mission there to take down terrorism from ISIS and others in the region.”

    A pullout of the estimated 5,200 U.S. troops could not allow ISIS to make a comeback but could also enable Iran to deepen its influence in Iraq.

    U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on Fox News that the parliamentary vote is “a bit concerning.”

    “The Iranian government is trying to basically take over Iraq’s political system. Iran is bribing Iraqi politicians. To the Iraqi people, do not allow your politicians to turn Iraq into a proxy of Iran,” he said.

    [Not really, Lindsey, you stupid ass. There are more non-alignment and anti-Iran Iraqi parties than there are pro-Iranian parties, and some pro-US Iraqi Sunnis, and ultra-pro US/Israel Kurdistan. With war brewing between US and Iran, no Iraqis want their country to become the proxy battle-zone, and so they’ll swing towards non-alignment.

    One thing is for certain, they are all anti-US parties now. – Kj]

    The attack that killed Soleimani has dramatically escalated regional tensions and raised fears of outright war.

    Amid Iran’s threats of vengeance, the U.S.-led military coalition in Iraq announced Sunday it is putting the fight against Islamic State militants on hold to focus on protecting its troops and bases. The coalition said it is suspending the training of Iraqi forces and other operations in support of the battle against ISIS.

    Also, the leader of Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group vowed to end the U.S. military’s presence in the Middle East, saying U.S. bases, warships and soldiers are now fair targets.

    “The suicide attackers who forced the Americans to leave from our region in the past are still here and their numbers have increased,” Nasrallah said.

    It was not clear which suicide bombings Nasrallah was referring to. But a 1983 attack on a U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killed 241 U.S. servicemen and led President Ronald Reagan to withdraw all American forces from the country.

    Nasrallah spoke from an undisclosed location, and his speech was played on large screens for thousands of Shiite followers in southern Beirut, interrupted occasionally by chants of “Death to America!” The comments were Nasrallah’s first since Soleimani’s killing.

    The majority of about 180 legislators present in Parliament voted in favor of the troop-removal resolution.

    It was backed by most Shiite members of parliament, who hold a majority of seats. Many Sunni and Kurdish legislators did not show up for the session, apparently because they oppose abolishing the deal.

    “The government should work on ending the presence of all foreign forces,” Parliament Speaker Mohamed a-Halbousi said after the vote.

    Iraqi officials have decried the killing of the general a violation of Iraqi sovereignty. Abdul-Mahdi called it a “political assassination.”

    Killing Iran’s most powerful general marked a turning point in U.S. Mideast policy by elevating a conflict that had previously been more of a shadow war, and by putting in doubt the Pentagon’s ability to keep troops in Iraq.

    More broadly, the killing appears to have lessened chances that President Donald Trump will achieve the central goal of his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran: to compel its leaders to negotiate a new, broader nuclear deal.

    The administration also faces troubling questions about the legality of the Soleimani killing, its failure to consult Congress in advance, and the prospect of plunging America into a new Mideast war.

    Pompeo is making the rounds showing up on MSM — Stephanopolous, Tapper, Chris Wallace, with his hyper-patriotic schtick pushing the dubious official story.

    “The world is a safer place without Soleimani. The world is a safer place without Soleimani. The world is a safer place without Soleimani.”

    Sure, Pompass. That’s why your own State Department has ordered Americans to immediately leave various Arab & Muslim countries, and why US embassies and military bases are in lockdown throughout the region.

    And no, from how Pompass is hedging and hawing, the US won’t be leaving in Iraq if and when the Iraqi government orders them to do so. If the mobilizations of US troops to various staging points in the Middle East during the past weeks are any indication, they are planning to build up inside Iraq.

    Dear the Englishman,

    January 29, 2017, The Donald’s first atrocity in Yemen taking the life of little Nora, an American-Yemeni citizen, in a botched SEAL attack that he personally ordered, just 8 days after President “We Don’t Want War” took office.

    President Bonespurs has certainly kicked off ‘The Raging 20s’ declaring war on Iran.

    “We murdered one of your top generals who led the war against ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and the most popular and loved man in Iran, and in many places in the Arab & Muslim world, now let’s sit down and talk about it.”

    Go eat another fast-food fat-burger. There’s just not enough fat between your ears yet. And take Pompass with you, he needs a couple of more chins.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Selective Service Draft reinstituted under this clown.

    How many more wars for Israhell do we have to fight, anyway?

    Israel figured in Trump’s decision to murder Soleimani. Tel Aviv and the Likudnik West White House were in communication when no one else was consulted or informed, like Congress, with the exception of Trump’s kids and spouses, like the Kushners, who were in on it from the start.

    Of course Jared was in on it. Isn’t he in charge of White House Middle East policy?

    Eric Trump spilled the beans a few days before Soleimani’s murder when he tweeted (then shortly deleted) that Trump was “going to open up a can of whoop ass.”

  69. Nuclear Blackmail January 5, 2020 @ 11:09 am

    Dear Pierre,

    The ‘Nuclear Blackmail’ article by Jim Stone you referenced reflects Jewish plans documented in the Protocols of Zion over 120 years ago.

    Protocol 9.13 – You may say that the Goyim will rise upon us, arms in hand, if they guess what is going on before the time comes; but in the West we have against this a maneuver of such appalling terror that the very stoutest hearts quail – the undergrounds, metropolitans, those subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will be driven under all the CAPITALS and from whence those capitals will be BLOWN INTO THE AIR with all their organizations and archives.
    http://whale.to/b/protocols.html

    But the Jews typically use dirty sexual secrets type blackmail, the power of money, the power of the Jews Media, the Masons, the labor unions, international corporations, Jews in high places, to carry out their plans. Nuking goyim cities would be a last desperate resort, a Samson option type of outcome.

    The devil and his children have unrivaled power as detailed in the previous paragraph without needing to resort to blowing up goyim cities. But by blowing up the World Trade Center on 9/11 with impunity the Jews demonstrated they can blow up whatever they want.

  70. KathJuliane January 5, 2020 @ 11:11 am

    No doubt who wrote Trump and Pompass’ propaganda script, either. Just listen to Bibsy.

    No one has yet claimed the rocket attack (30 107mm rockets, which is about 4 1/2 inch diameter rockets) on the US military air base in Kirkuk which killed a “defense contractor” (one of Eric Prince’s mercenaries?) which kicked off this Raging 20’s Show, since Iraqi Kurdistan and Israhell have always been very, very close (especially to the Barzani family).

    There are over 100,000 Kurdish Jews living in the arsonist Jewish state. Kurdistan is saturated with Mossad (and Jewish native speakers).

    I’m betting the US base in Kirkuk, a disputed province that Iraqi Kurdistan claims, was struck by “Jewish lightening”.

    Haaretz: Netanyahu Accidentally Calls Israel a ‘Nuclear Power’

    Speaking about a trilateral summit where Israel, Greece and Cyprus inked a deal for a natural gas pipeline to Europe, Netanyahu quickly corrects himself, saying Israel turning into an ‘energy power’

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accidently referred to Israel as a “nuclear power” during a cabinet meeting Sunday, immediately correcting himself to “energy power.”

    Speaking about a trilateral summit in Athens over the weekend, where Israel signed a deal with Greece and Cyprus for the construction of the EastMed natural gas pipeline to Europe.

    “… the significance of this project is that we are turning Israel into a nuclear power, an energy power,” Netanyahu said, with a slip of a tongue.

    During the meeting, Netanyahu also discussed the targeted assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani on Friday, saying that he was U.S. President Donald Trump was “worthy of all appreciation” for ordering the killing of Soleimani.

    Soleimani “initiated, planned and carried out many terror attacks” in the Middle East and beyond, Netanyahu added. Netanyahu said Israel stands behind the United States in its “just fight for self-defense.”

    Israel has long accused Soleimani of being the mastermind of Iran’s belligerency in the region.

    The United States killed Soleimani in a drone airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport early Friday. The Iranian commander was widely seen as the architect of Tehran’s proxy wars in the Middle East.
    https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-netanyahu-accidently-calls-israel-a-nuclear-power-1.8354305

    ~~~*~~~

    The murders of Soleimani and al-Muhandis comes just a few months after an alleged Israeli attempt to kill the Iranian general failed. There is certainly a well-documented and decades-long push by U.S. neo-liberal-con hawks and Israeli officials for a Jewmerican-led war with Iran.

    And it’s a hell of a way for Trump to launch his re-election campaign. Adelson and Marcus are no doubt pleased, and wrote out generous campaign contribution checks.

    Trump’s a transactional guy. Maybe he set a price list of actions he can take against Iran for Adelson to peruse.

    Anyway, the Iraqi Parliament has passed a resolution asking the government to evict the US. At the same time, Pentagon continues to insist that the U.S. troop presence is solely to help Iraq fight ISIS, but even though the fight against ISIS has completely wound down, Trump himself has defined its mission as “also to watch over Iran.”

    Nope, I doubt the US will leave Iraq, and the Pentagon will stick there by any means, fair or foul.

    Thousands In Over 70 US Cities Protest Trump’s “Reckless Acts of War” Against Iran

    Thousands of people in dozens of cities across the United States on Saturday took to the streets to condemn the Trump administration’s “reckless acts of war” against Iran and demand that the U.S. withdraw its troops from the Middle East.

    From New York City to Chicago to Arkansas and more than 70 other locations around the U.S., demonstrators rallied against the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, a move that sparked widespread fears of another catastrophic Middle East war.

    “The American people have had enough with U.S. wars and are rising up to demand peace with Iran!” tweeted CodePink, an anti-war group that helped organize the nationwide demonstrations.

    For a sample of Pompass’ one trick pony show and official State Dept scripted blather making his rounds in MSM, here is his ‘interview’ on Face the Nation

    https://www.state.gov/secretary-michael-r-pompeo-with-margaret-brennan-of-cbs-face-the-nation-2/

    However, I’ve edited his blithering with brackets to clarify his answers to Margaret Brennan’s questions.

    QUESTION: We turn now to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Good morning to you, Mr. Secretary.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Margaret, good to be with you. Thanks for having me on the show this morning.

    QUESTION: Does eliminating Qasem Soleimani take out the specific plot that you say was an imminent threat?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [No. But there really wasn’t a specific plot. We had to create a crisis to make it real, a crisis to make millions of Muslims and Arabs mad at us so that we can escalate. Israel wanted him dead months, years ago, but they failed their most recent Mossad/Saudi Arab assassination plot to buy a property next to Soleimani’s, tunnel under, and then plant bombs to kill him. We have to make up something.]

    QUESTION: But has it been eliminated?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [No. Not now that the danger has become real.]

    QUESTION: So Iran can still carry out that specific threat you described as imminent? Is it still imminent?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Yes, now that we’ve made the fictitious imminent threat real. And now we expect it will escalate, just as Tel Aviv intended.]

    QUESTION: Up until this point, the U.S. had avoided specifically targeting and taking out top Iranian military leaders. Were all of the President’s national security advisors in full agreement that Qasem Soleimani needed to be killed?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Yes. (Sic; “national security advisers” like the Trump kids and the Kushners, and Netanyahu.)

    QUESTION: Complete agreement across the cabinet?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Yes.]

    QUESTION: But doing nothing isn’t the same as saying specifically Qasem Soleimani needed to be killed.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Margaret, [we’ve spent the past several days, weeks and months ginning up the official story and justification for murdering a top official of the Iranian government and a general in a sovereign state’s national armed forces.]

    QUESTION: President Trump is saying that there are 52 sites that the U.S. would target if Iran retaliates. How is that consistent with what you say is your message of de-escalation?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Entirely consistent.

    QUESTION: Threatening to bomb mainland Iran?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Yes. We’ll do a Hiroshima and some Nagasakis on them if we have to, just like Adelson once demanded. That’s how we’ll de-escalate them.]

    QUESTION: But they’re not backing down. Why do you think that this will make them back down? If this such a threat to Iranian pride to have one of their most powerful leaders killed, doesn’t it force them —

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Evades the question, ooorahs for Trump].

    QUESTION: He also killed thousands of people in the region. He directed mass murder.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Let me pull something out of my butt to obscure the fact that Gen. Soleimani was a major architect of the war against our pet jihadi useful tool, ISIS, in the Syria-Iraq battle space, the PMU’s the leading forces in the Iraq-Syria-Russia-Iran-Lebanese Hezbollah battle alliance that took down ISIS in Iraq, while the US-UK-Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Qatar was helping and funding ISIS and al Qaeda.]

    QUESTION: But does this mean other Iranian leaders are now potential U.S. targets?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: We’re going to do everything required to keep the American people safe. [I’m still trying to reach my fat butt.]

    QUESTION: That sounds like a yes.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Pontificates with self-hypnotized stare about his chronic fever dreams of spreading “freedom and democracy” to Iran, and making the Iranians come to heel like a good doggie for Trump. Murdering the most popular man in Iran, respected and liked by even Iranians who don’t like the current Tehran government or have grievances against it definitely will not endear the United States to any Iranians now. The only ones cheering are Guliani and Bolton’s pet terrorists in exile, the MEK.]

    QUESTION: Iraq this morning has been carrying out some votes and debate over the presence of U.S. troops, and now the question is if Iraq legally requires – this is what they’re looking at – U.S. troops to leave, will the U.S. comply?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [No. The Iranians have guns pointed at the heads of the Iraqi ministers of parliament and the Iraqi government, and every single Iraqi citizen. We’ll ignore what the Iraqis demand.]

    QUESTION: But this is a prime minister of Iraq who is —

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Yes.

    QUESTION: — talking about this right now.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Having the —

    QUESTION: Expelling 5,000 U.S. troops.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: The acting prime minister of Iraq, who resigned because of massive Iranian interference in his own government’s ability to execute sovereignty and independence for Iraq. It’s why he left. And it is the United States — [He’s an acting prime minster, so he doesn’t count. We don’t pay attention to him anymore.]

    QUESTION: But the Iraqi parliament has now voted to approve it.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [We’re not leaving.]

    QUESTION: So I hear you saying the U.S. wants to keep those troops there and will work on that. What are you doing diplomatically behind the scenes to try to de-escalate?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [No, not behind the scenes.] We’re doing some of it publicly too. The messages — [Trump’s thundering and threatening tweets]

    QUESTION: Have you reached out to the regime in Iran?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [No. We’re America, and America has it’s exceptional swagger back. We don’t need to follow usual and accepted norms of diplomacy.]

    The messages [that Trump is belting out in his tweet storms] that we’re – the Iranian leadership, including my counterpart, knows precisely what President Trump believes, wants, and desires and is demanding from the Iranian leadership. Make no mistake about it.

    But it’s not just the last few days, Margaret. This is something we’ve been working on for an awfully long time. We’ve built out an enormous coalition – Gulf states, Israel. We’ve built out a maritime coalition. We’ve got an air defense initiative that is a multi-country effort. We’ve flowed American forces, but we’ve had forces coming in from our European friends and partners as well and the Canadians. This is a multi-country, global diplomatic effort to deter Iran. [We’ve been and are building up and preparing for war against Iran. After all, they’re the last on the old PNAC country take-down list.]

    QUESTION: But for the first time since World War II, the U.S. has now taken out a foreign military leader on foreign soil. This is —

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Calling General Soleimani a terrorist makes it all ok. See, Margaret, how easy it is?]

    QUESTION: He may be, but this is a significant action. Do you really believe that Iran’s going to sit down and negotiate now?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [We expect them to sit down at the table and beg for scraps like good, obedient puppies. It’s time Iran learns its place in the world and how to be trained to heel, and stop being an obstacle to the Jewmerican Empire’s benevolent hegemony over the Middle East as we spread peace and prosperity].

    It depends how smart they are. It depends how much they take seriously what President Trump has communicated.

    If they take it seriously, they’ll do the right thing; they will not continue to threaten not only Americans but the entire region. The instability that they have created for our ally Israel, for our partners the Saudis, our friends the Emiratis, all of these countries – Soleimani and his band of merry brothers have been a negative influence in the region for an awfully long time, and they are thankful for the action that America took.

    [Americans and countless others are going to die for Israhell and the Jews’ new best friends, the Zionist Arab states.]

    QUESTION: The details of the threat that you describe as imminent, and it sounds like you were also saying is ongoing, have not been shared with Congress. The details that were transmitted yesterday were kept classified. When will the American people know why President Trump decided to do what he did?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Never. Congress was told after the fact. What was important was not just telling, but including Israel in the plans beforehand, and that’s good enough. Here’s my long string of excuses and story telling about how this escalation against Iran has all been planned for months.]

    QUESTION: But will that be declassified and explained to the American public?

    SECRETARY POMPEO:[No. Instead the American people will get our official lying B.S., and they’ll swallow it like they did our lies that kicked off our 2003 war, invasion, and occupation of Iraq. If the American people don’t like it, too bad.]

    QUESTION: But to be clear, that threat continues to exist – that plot?

    SECRETARY POMPEO: [Yes. The non-existent plot to attack Americans still exists, now that we’ve murdered Soleimani and al-Muhandes, and made the danger real.]

    QUESTION: Secretary Pompeo, thank you for joining us this morning.

    SECRETARY POMPEO: Margaret, thank you very much [for letting me come on with my song and dance.]

    There really was an alleged Israeli-Saudi Arab plot, according to the Iranians, to buy a property next to the grave of Soleimani’s father to assassinate him by bomb, that Iranian security thwarted back in October. They arrested an unspecified (other sources say three) number of plotters arrested, and pointed the finger directly at Israel and unspecified Gulf Arab states.

    Iran takes final step to end commitments to nuke deal

    TEHRAN, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) — Iran on Sunday announced the fifth and final step to end its commitments to the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, official IRNA news agency reported.

    “In the fifth step of withdrawing from its commitments, the Islamic republic drops the last key restriction under the nuclear deal, namely ‘restriction on the number of centrifuges’,” IRNA cited the announcement by Iranian government as reading.

    Therefore, “Iran’s nuclear program will no longer embrace any practical restrictions, including the level and purity of enrichment, the mass of enriched materials and R&D activities,” read the announcement.

    “From now on, Iran’s nuclear program will advance based on its own technical requirements,” it said.

    In a reaction to the U.S. withdrawal from the landmark 2015 Iranian nuclear deal in May 2018 and the subsequent sanctions, and in a response to the Europe’s sluggishness in facilitating Iran’s banking transactions and its oil exports, Iran, since May 2019, made staged moves to drop its nuclear commitments.

    Iran had said that the cut of obligations under the 2015 nuclear deal was a “wake-up call” for the remaining parties of the deal to protect Iran’s economic interests.

    “As before, Iran will continue its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA),” according to Iran’s announcement on Sunday.

    The Iranian government, however, said that Tehran is ready to re-embrace its nuclear commitments, in case anti-Iran sanctions are removed and its economic interests under the nuclear deal are secured.
    http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-01/06/c_138680453.htm

    They’ll still be cooperating with the IAEA on the normal level of peaceful nuclear research and development projects as well.

    The dominoes will come crushing down on U.S. Gentile/CHRIST-ian heads now because of this insidious attack, born pure out of jew fear/paranoia, of Iran’s top general.

    I say insidious, because of the likely lie that Israhell claimed it tried and failed on it’s own accord to take him out. We know better.

    We know that the jews are liars from the beginning. God forbid they were successful, the Iranians would have every right to attack them, and should.

    No, instead they planned it to fail, like a cheaply made Chinese product. Then cry to Big Daddy Satan U.S. to come help.. Waaaa! But let’s just wait till after the Holidays – Ok?

    When will the umbilical cord be cut to these parasitic trolls? Just like the evil anti-CHRIST jews here in the U.S.A., claiming even at gun point “we wont leave.”

    The U.S. is saying the same thing on Iraqi soil, “Are you kidding me? We’ll show you the door! Better not say’s JewS.A. or we will attack you for defending yourself,” very insidious & evil.

    Straight out of IsraHell’s play book with dealing with the poor oppressed Palestinians.

    US/NATO-backed Israeli think tank [Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies-BESA]: Don’t destroy ISIS; it’s a ‘useful tool’ against Iran, Hezbollah, Syria

    The director of an Israeli think tank backed by the US government and NATO, BESA, wrote that ISIS “can be a useful tool in undermining” Iran, Hezbollah, Syria, and Russia and should not be defeated.

    By Ben Norton / Salon

    According to a US-backed think tank that does contract work for NATO and the Israeli government, the West should not destroy ISIS, the fascist Islamist extremist group that is committing genocide and ethnically cleansing minority groups in Syria and Iraq.

    Why? The so-called Islamic State “can be a useful tool in undermining” Iran, Hezbollah, Syria and Russia, argues the think tank’s director.

    “The continuing existence of IS serves a strategic purpose,” wrote Efraim Inbar in “The Destruction of Islamic State Is a Strategic Mistake,” a paper published on Aug. 2.

    https://besacenter.org/perspectives-papers/destruction-islamic-state-strategic-mistake/

    By cooperating with Russia to fight the genocidal extremist group, the United States is committing a “strategic folly” that will “enhance the power of the Moscow-Tehran-Damascus axis,” Inbar argued, implying that Russia, Iran and Syria are forming a strategic alliance to dominate the Middle East.

    “The West should seek the further weakening of Islamic State, but not its destruction,” he added. “A weak IS is, counterintuitively, preferable to a destroyed IS.”

    https://thegrayzone.com/2016/08/23/us-nato-israeli-think-tank-isis-useful-tool/

    The Iraqi-Syrian-Iranian-Russian battle alliance broke the back of the ISIS caliphate. It controls no more territory.

    But ISIS is still useful as the Trump-Pompass boogeyman hiding under everyone’s bed. If needed, the usual CIA/Mossad covert intelligence thugs and their stable of International Wahabi Jihadists can easily inflate ISIS and al-Qaeda as “useful tools” again with recruitment and weapons.

    Trump, Pentagon, and Pompass all need to answer why the US military was air shuttling ISIS terrorists out of Eastern Syria to places like Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    Sputnik: US Military ‘Despised Across the Region’ as Iran, Iraq View Strikes as Acts of War

    US President Donald Trump argued Friday that the killing of Qasem Soleimani, head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, was to “stop a war” from breaking out. However, the governments of both Iraq and Iran regard the act as the opposite, and one analyst tells Sputnik that the US has actually united the Middle Eastern countries.

    Mohammad Marandi, an expert on American studies and postcolonial literature who teaches at the University of Tehran, joined Radio Sputnik’s Loud and Clear on Friday to discuss the motivation behind the US’ attacks in the Middle East and express his thoughts on what’s to come.

    Marandi explained to hosts Brian Becker and John Kiriakou that it’s not only the Iranian government who considers the killing of Soleimani to be an act of war, but Baghdad as well.

    “The United States has been acting with impunity in Iraq from day one of occupation,” Marandi asserted.

    However, the US’ recent strikes against Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces that resulted in the deaths of at least 25 fighters and injured dozens, were particularly sinister, the academic noted.

    He highlighted that not only did the strikes take place on the frontlines of the battle against the Daesh on the Iraqi-Syrian border, but the area targeted was hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest US base in the region.

    “They did that … to weaken the fight against [Daesh] because the Americans would like to see [Daesh] regain the border between Iraq and Syria, so that Syria would not be able to trade with Iraq,” Marandi argued.

    “The Americans ignore the sovereignty of Iraq; they ignore [Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi]; they ignore the will of the Iraqi people; they murder the heroes of the war against [Daesh]; and they wonder why they are so widely despised across the region.”

    He went on to say that Washington has gotten to a point where they believe their own propaganda and continue to perpetuate the idea that there is nothing but hatred between Iranians and Iraqis.

    In keeping with this trend of Washington damaging its own goals, “the murder of General Soleimani … served to unite the Iranian population against the United States,” according to Marandi.

    “And the murder of [Soleimani and al-Muhandis] served to turn the bulk of the Iraqi population against the United States, and it outraged those 400,000 armed forces that led the fight against [Daesh] in Iraq.”

    What a nice gift Trump has given to ISIS and it’s mother, al-Qaeda.

    Iraq has 39 million people (post war).

    Iran has 82 million people.

    Just in those two offended countries who have suffered excruciating wars at the hands of the US and its proxies in just the past 41 years, that’s 121 million people, comparable to about 1/3 of the American population, the vast majority of whom loved and respected Soleimani and al-Muhandis.

    General Soleimani was not only a national and regional hero for breaking the back of ISIS in the Iraq-Syria battlespace, it’s a very little known fact that he was already a highly revered war hero from the US-back Iraq war against Iran between 1980 and 1988.

    This year, General Soleimani was awarded the restored highest military honor, The Order of Zolfaghar. The Order was established in 1856 as the Decoration of the Commander of the Faithful, by Emperor Naser al-Din Shah.

    It was given its current name in 1925, by Emperor Reza Shah I. It was the pinnacle of the Imperial honors system, and was limited to the Sovereign and the individuals who had performed the most outstanding acts of patriotism on behalf of Persia and Iran.

    The new Islamic Republic of Iran abolished the Order in 1979, as part of a move to eradicate all traces of the imperial system from Iranian culture and society.

    However, the honor was re-established in 2019, part of a bid to establish a national continuum, and Gen. Soleimani was awarded this for life time achievement in patriotic defense of his country.

    He gets the lesser mention in MSM but is no less worthy of honor and respect, but Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis [“the Engineer”], who was born Jamal Jaafar Ibrahimi, was revered by many in Iraq and throughout the region for building an extremely effective fighting force against the IS out of the many militias that came to occupy the political vacuum in the country after the US toppled Saddam Hussein.

    The rising violence between the U.S. and Iran inside Iraq threatens the war-weary Iraqis’ dreams of a better future and will most likely bring about more death and destruction to Iraq.

    That’s why, as evidenced by the Iraqi Parliament’s vote this morning, the Iraqi people, who have been protesting the past few months all foreign proxy intervention and the corrupt, dysfunctional state it causes, ultimately want both of them both out.

    They are uniting around evicting the US first.

    “What appears to be millions attending Soleimani’s [cross-country-Kj] funeral procession in Ahvaz, an Iranian city usually described by mainstream media as “restive,” and hence hardly a Soleimani stronghold.

    Trump doesn’t know what is awaiting him across the Middle East.”

    Ahvaz is home to a multi-ethnic population — Persians, Arabs, Bakhtiaris, Dezfulis, Shushtaris, etc, all bidding farewell to their “General of the Hearts”.

    Iranian Student News Agency has a whole string of photo tweets of the enormous crowds turning out for the funeral procession, public mourning, and protests all over Iran.

    Also: Iran Raises ‘Flag of Revenge’ in Qom City After The US Killing of Qassem Soleimani

    “Iranians today raised the blood-red ‘flags of revenge’, vowing to retaliate after the US killed general Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike in Baghdad.

    Iranian state TV broadcast the flag being hoisted over the minarets at the revered Jamkaran Mosque in the holy city of Qom on Saturday.

    In Shia Islam the red flags, which have also been flown at demonstrations in Tehran, symbolize blood spilled unjustly and serve as a call to avenge the person who is slain.

    It comes as Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei and President Hassan Rouhani consoled Soleimani’s distraught children at his family home last night, reassuring them the commander would be avenged.”
