Comment: War with Iran & the Brain Washed

There's no doubt that the elected American officials on both sides of the aisle, has been 'bought and paid for' by the military industrial complex. Anyone with an education and a snippet of humanity, realises that war, at anytime over the last 100 years, has been a sham.

Every country that America has touched in the last 20 years, has turned to shit. Until we understand that American war is a profit making exercise for the elites, sacrificing the common young, while their fat bank accounts rise, all based on “spreading democracy”, rescuing countries from “evil” dictators, and “making the world safer”, war will continue, and warmongers, like those on social media, after president Trump murdered a Iranian general, will continue repeating elite talking points, like those mentioned above.

Trump committed a war crime, and most of the western world is silent.

The American people are the most propagandised people on the planet. I know this first-hand, after spending my first 30 years in the United States. I believed all the propaganda about Vietnam, about South American coups, and the evils of communism. I believed in American Exceptionalism, that we were the greatest democracy in the world, and it was up to us to ensure freedom, democracy and “real values” in every un-enlightened country. It was only after moving abroad and finishing my education, that this insidious propaganda became clear, and was sustained after the illegal invasion of Iraq, and the utter devastation of Libya.

These brutal invasions of sovereign countries had nothing to do with the national security of the US, and everything to do about resources, oil and economic dominance. America was pulled into Iraq 1 based on faulty propaganda, and pulled into Iraq 2 on blatant lies.

Syria is quite simple. America's fight in this country is solely based on a natural gas pipeline, that Saudi Arabia want, that must run through Syrian territory. Syria said no, because its ally, Russia, uses that port for their own gas interests.

Libya is also rich in oil. Their leader, Qaddafi, refused to give up their oil to American corporations, nor trade on the petrol dollar. Qaddafi stupidly trusted the Obama government, and gave up their nuclear intentions. Once they did, NATO backed terrorists, including Al Quida, with the help of US and UK air support, toppled Libya. The country looks like Dresden in 1945 now, with open slave markets on the streets. Currently the US control the country's oil. Mission accomplished.

The above said examples of US foreign policy, their imperialist intentions, fuelled by economic dominance throughout the middle east, should be enough evidence for anyone with a conscience, to protest any war with Iran. But the propaganda is strong and unrelenting.

A war with Iran would be devastating on so many levels. Not to mention, of course, the thousand or millions of deaths of soldiers and innocent civilians.

But hey, the warmongers and their vacuous followers, despite the horror of war, spout Imperial talking points, like the useful idiots they have become.

The neoconservatives in Washington have been screaming to topple Iran for years. And the moron real estate agent, game show host president, just committed an act of war. Not surprisingly, too, the MSM, positioned General Soleimani as the “No. 1 bad guy” in the middle east. This is absurd as he is revered as the general who toppled ISIS. And there is no doubt that he did in Iraq and Syria, respectively.

Realise that the only people that cheer-leads for war are the wealthy, the elite, and has been profiting from war for years. The only one's who suffer is the common people, brainwashed into believing the Right-to-wage war on any country that does not submit to the US economic will.

Anyone who has experienced the evils of war, first hand or otherwise, know it is no answer to the difficulties of this life on a world scale. American actions in the middle east, observing the devastation structurally and individually, of these countries, should get a clue. But they do not.

War with Iran is a big mistake. I would guess that many people across the world would agree. But we are led by rich-war-loving-ass-holes, and their brain washed followers.

And really, in this respect, nothing has changed in over a century, at least.
