Description (32 Minutes):
Israel’s ‘pre-emptive’ strike ought to sober everyone. Israel is armed with nuclear weapons.
As Jeffrey Sachs pointed out, the reason this is all unfolding, and the names of the countries involved, is because of the British Empire. As the Anglo-French alliance prevailed in World War I, defeating the Ottomans, the British and French divided the spoils amongst themselves. They put in the kings they wanted, to be given authority under their empires.
There is an odd idea that these local entities have been running things in West Asia. In fact, the whole Levant belongs to Western imperialism, and they are not letting it go. It has no connection to who happens to be a head-of-state in the region.
There was an idea that, with Iran, there would be a “deal.” We debase ourselves as Canadians when we accept this language. Interactions between states are supposed to involved international law and the UN Charter. But in the world of Mar-a-lago, it’s just a “deal.” And a “deal” is just as good as a nod or handshake from Trump.
Trump has said himself that he knew Israel was going to attack. And if you follow what he says, the so-called “talks” and so-called “deal,” if you look at the language, said that Iran would have to completely abandon its nuclear program. Trump literally said regarding the nuclear infrastructure that “we can blow it up.” Now, we are told that Israel is unable to completely remove that infrastructure without U.S-supplied bunker-busters. These are the same bombs used to kill the Lebanese resistance leader, and are likely to be provided.
There will be no change in policy. It is as with NATO, which wants to expand military operations into Asia, a machine with no off-switch. It is an aggressive operation, and has been since the time of Sitting Bull.
Minister Anand perfectly stated things from the vassal point-of-view: we want the two parties to not expand the fighting and negotiate results. But it included the paragraph, that we are concerned about the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic. Full stop: they’re ‘concerned’ about the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic, but they are not concerned about Israel’s nuclear program. Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons, and the finest delivery mechanisms that America could pass on to them. The bargain of Anglo-French tutelage was that Israel would always have more advanced weaponry than the neighbouring states.
We cannot even discuss (not even the NDP) Israel’s nuclear weapons, and practicing assassinations throughout the region and the neighbourhood. Some years ago, Iraq had wanted a nuclear program, under international inspection. Israel disagreed, and blew up the Iraqi installation. Iraq’s right under the NPT was taken away, because Washington and Tel Aviv decided to. And Iran’s is the most inspected program in the region.
There has been no inspection of Israel’s nuclear capacity. They are not a member of the non-proliferation treaty. And, in Canada, no leader of any party chooses to talk about it. That which they choose not to talk about is probably the most important thing. Iran’s program was initially started by the West’s own vassal, the Shah. Iran inherited this sharing. In order to have peaceful relations with the Western powers, Iran consented to be inspected. So what do we have now?
What we have now is that Iran is being attacked, and their scientists – civilians, have been murdered. And all the neighbouring states have been bombed and attacked by Israel: Iraq, Libya, Syria, Tunisia will tell you about bombs and assassinations. And the G7, talking about being independent from Trump, will do everything he says. As Trump tariffs Canadian steel and aluminum, to break our back, Carney says Canada needs to worry about China.
There are other matters regarding the U.S. leadership, and its domestic issues that are starting to tell us more about the overall policy of those who run the U.S., the largest being love of the military and the flag. This is standard procedure for so many governments that wish to take away the rights of their citizens. Trump gave a speech at Fort Bragg. He re-renamed Fort Bragg, and he’s very proud of it. He says that the U.S. has never lost, and the military has always been a great success. He’s saying this at Fort Bragg, which is named for Confederate General Bragg, who fought against the U.S. flag. The Confederates said that the biggest mistake made by the founders of the U.S. was to say that all men are created equal. The Confederates instead spoke of white, Anglo-Saxon power.
That was General Bragg, who fought and tried to destroy the United States. And he was defeated. And the main general responsible for defeating him was Sherman: there aren’t any forts in the U.S. named Sherman. That is because following the Civil War, the Southern leaders were committed to take their power back. In the Congress, you couldn’t name any fort after any general who had defeated the enemies of America.
Speaking at Fort Bragg, named for the Confederate who fought in the name of slavery, Trump also said that he was going to re-rename Fort Robert E. Lee, another key general who fought against the United States. He says he knows America, but he is celebrating people who tried to destroy it. Not only that, but those generals made foreign alliances, and overthrew the Mexican government with the intent of supplying the slave-owning Confederacy against Abraham Lincoln and the American flag.
To demonstrate how cynical and low is Trump’s game, they found the name of a WWII combatant named Bragg, and claim that they are re-renaming the fort against this later Bragg. So this demonstrates how far the Trump administration is willing to go to create havoc in the country, and insult history.
Worth noting is the work of Brian Berletic, an ex-Marine. Berletic’s approach is grounded in history. He doesn’t deal much in rumours.
Whenever you have a conflict like that one unfolding right now, there is an inevitable fog. The powers waging the war create this fog as part of their arsenal in waging that war. What we have to be asking, as Canadians, is why is Carney following this leader whom they said they don’t trust. Trump is saying that things are bad in Iran, and are going to get worse. Well, he is the leader of what is going on.
On the matter of solving, you cannot have a mediated talk involving Iran and Israel, in which the United States is mediator. The U.S. is the master of the situation. We need to call for international law, and enforcement of the UN Charter. Aggressors have to be identified as aggressors, and China has made the identification.
