I don’t criticize Iran because I do not want to feed into an imperial war propaganda campaign for a horrific agenda that I do not support. I want to focus my criticisms on the power structure under which I actually live, because that is what one does when one is not a groveling bootlicker, and because the power structure under which I live happens to be the most abusive tyrant on the world stage.
What we are seeing is a return of the “muslim bad” psy-op from October 2001. You’d have to be nuts to participate in it.
Some Muslims are ok, if they do our dirty work and funnel our business men plenty of money.
It never occurs to them to question who actually benefits from the western population chanting “IRAN BAD! REGIME MUST GO!” in unison like a bunch of animatronic theme park animals while the drums of war are beating louder and louder. It never occurs to them that someone can simply oppose the warmongering agendas of the US empire on principle, because those agendas are reliably disastrous and the US empire is the most tyrannical power structure on earth. These things never occur to them because most westerners spend their entire lives in a propaganda echo chamber which constantly feeds them stories about how evil the western empire’s enemies are, while telling them almost nothing about the empire’s own abuses.
People should read Max Blumenthal’s book “The Management Of Savagery” and David Icke’s 2019 book “The Trigger”. A lot of people are out of work and we should all be organising against these western regimes. You either have time or money to spare, depending on situation. The best place to start may be your local library or an online book shop. I’m confident we can expose the rot.
David Icke? 👀
Yep. I never knew much about him until now. He writes a lot about consciousness but the stereotype is that he writes about aliens and UFOs and weird conspiracy stuff. His book The Trigger is about 2 bibles thick and it covers a lot. Starting with the backgrounds of Cheney and Rumsfeld. Much of the book reads like investigative journalism. He sought information and points out contradictions in official statements.
At my local library we have 3 copies for the city and all 3 copies of Icke’s book are currently in use. Somebody just put a hold on a copy so I’m going to return my copy. Pretty popular book, surprisingly.
I mean MH issues don’t mean intelligence issues. I should see if it’s available.
I have a better reason:
The theojudicial government of Iran is fighting a pro-monarchy insurrection.
That’s the same reason. The “pro-monarchy insurrection” isn’t organic. It’s another facet of the imperialist hybrid war to vassalize Iran.
True, but saying “Why on earth would I support monarchism?”
is a lot quicker than six paragraphs about the workings of the US empire.
