A madhouse, one might think, when looking at some of the online messages a so-called president, that sorry excuse for a man, Trump, sends – rather lets be sent.
That he practically does everything to ‘reign’ the news is the method, part of it, I am referring to. When you start looking into some of the connections, the ‘buddies’ and the ulterior motives to actions and policies in the past that repeat – because the underlying principles stay the same – you start also realizing that the apparent madhouse is part of an image.
Because, anything sensational ‘makes the news’.
A ‘scoop’ is what the career of many journalists depends on. News are sold, that’s why they are made to look sensational, even in cases when they aren’t really.
I posted about this before. Basically, we need to look at both sides of this outrage of a war, the plain extortion by a wealthy and greedy part of society in that country, the USA:
-
- The whole cruel and tragic story of that war on Iran becomes clear when looking at all the facts.
- Analyzing news and media and developing a ‘media literacy’ is crucial, just as it was before the internet was there.
The Iran war was started at least as long ago as 2018, and when you think about how things need time to be developed it started much earlier than that.
The pattern is the same as in Iraq: “Weapons of mass destruction” seemed reason enough to attack a country whose dictator had been instated with US acquiescence and support. When he started to try and become more independent, that country was seized, including the oil wells…which burned for years afterwards. With all consequences a war can have.
Those weapons were never found. And that is a fact, officially confirmed.
Iran’s last shah had sold oil to the US for dumping prices. He was a dictator really and recieved the support of several US governments all through his reign. The hungry people started to rise at last and when he became unable to control them and guarantee cheap oil, he was ‘sent packing’.
The Islamic revolution seemed an ‘inside job’ and thus manageable – but wasn’t.
Eventually, the refusal to sell other than at market price as far as oil was concerned made the need ever more urgent to get the upper hand again, from the point of view of US governments – and the two most powerful forces there:
The weapons industry.
The public clamoring for cheap gas / petrol.
The USA to this day never has attacked any country for altruistic reasons.
In 2018, the Trump administration cancelled the working contracts on uranium enrichment control; working, as officially confirmed by the IAEA, more than once.
Now they are still offering a peace on their own terms.
What do you call that in business and private life? – Extortion. It is a punishable offence.
