My wife was listening to Bloomberg today and she was saying the same thing. Bloomberg reversed the situation to make it seem like Iran's action was "unprovoked", as was the case with reporting on Ukraine. These are the same "reporters" who could come bring themselves to say that the Iraq war was unprovoked. This is the new news. What gets me is that anyone who hears this obvious nonsense actually believes it.
I love your edit of the CNN headline! If the Israelis are stupid enough to retailaite against Iran's "attack"—which, unfortunately, they probably are—and the Americans are stupid enough not to put a stop to it—which, unfortuantely, they probably are—then the wider regional war that "nobody wants" becomes a near-certainty and could easily morph into WWIII, as has so often been pointed out. Are the American people stupid enough to keeep on being led by the nose by the American Völkischer Beobachter, whose writers and editors should be indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity, along with the bought and paid for Biden administrartipn and most of the U.S. Congress? I just ask.
One of the consistent practices of the MSM is to set the context for any issue by choosing a starting point that's actually 'in media res' - in a critical situation that is part of an already ongoing series of events. And surprise: that starting point always supports the desired narrative.
As reported, the problems of NATO and Ukraine only started on February 22, 2022 with Russia's "unprovoked attack". No mention of the Maiden coup or the shelling of the Donbas for eight years.
Similarly, the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 on the peaceful country of Israel was a cowardly act of barbarism and terrorism. No mention of all the Israeli barbarism going back to at least 1948.
And of course, Iran's 'unprovoked attack' on the always peaceful bulwark of freedom and democracy in the Mideast: our "ally" Israel - who never is held to account for its actions.
Ignoring history by effectively censoring it in the news is ignoring reality. But defending Israel is in itself ignoring reality. Let me explain.
We know, and Israel demonstrates daily, that Zionism is at root an ethnic cleansing idea under the concept that Jews cannot be safe anywhere in the world except Israel. It's no secret, from Theodore Herzl right on down to Netanyahu today, it has been openly stated.
Now let's look at reality.
I live in Illinois in the US. My mayor is a Jew, my state representative is a Jew, my state governor is a Jew, my rep in Congress is a Jew, the president of Northwestern University in my town is a Jew, my dentist is a Jew, several friends are Jews, several neighbors are Jews. Grocery stories have entire aisles devoted to kosher offerings. Synagogues are all about. The Council for Jewish Elderly runs buses that can be seen on the streets every day. It's obvious and undeniable that Jews are thoroughly integrated in and accepted throughout American society. Oct 7 did not happen in the US.
How curious, then, that Antony Blinken, our Secretary of State, should go to Israel right after Oct 7 and say on arrival, "I come here as a Jew" What does this statement imply? It implies that Blinken identifies himself first of all not as the chief American diplomat, but as a Jew. It implies that, in identifying as a Jew, he is stating his unconditional support for Israel, the Jewish state, and that above and beyond his official responsibility to the United States, he is going to support Israel, committing the US as best he can. It indicates that for him Zionism and Judaism are one. This bold assertion of his very identity as a person, putting aside his position as an American diplomat, should have caused an uproar in America. There was not even a whisper, certainly no op-ed pieces or commentaries on line. Why?
It is because Zionism, though distinct from Judaism as a great number of outraged American Jews will openly state (see JVP) is not accepted as distinct from it by Zionists, be they Jews or not. Zionists dearly want Judaism to be conflated with Zionism from which follows the denunciation of critics of Israel as anti-semites/self-hating Jews and the continual assertion that any threat to Israel (Zionism made concrete) is the start of another holocaust.
Zionists dearly want to wrap their project in Judaism as a mighty shield that they believe gives them the moral high ground at any and all times regardless of what Israel does internationally or internally as it sweeps out the Palestinians.
With this in mind, nobody should find it difficult to understand how Israeli soldiers steeped throughout their Israeli childhood education in Zionism = Judaism, can without hesitation destroy Gaza, kill helpless people in the thousands and still feel they hold the high moral ground and, far from being ashamed, are proud of setting a high standard of direct military action that disposes of the terrible imagery of meek people submitting to their own execution in the holocaust. Jews now stand tall in the mind of Zionists and nobody, absolutely nobody, including the US, will tell them what to do.
Does this mean Israel is capable of doing anything, including using of nuclear weapons? Yes. "Never again" is always in their minds, applicable anywhere and everywhere and it has no limitations.
When President Biden announced "we stand with Israel" he was only telling Americans what we already know, that he is a Zionist right along with Blinken, right along with Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries and new convert John Fetterman and on and on and on through the majority of members of Congress, many governors, and many American billionaires such as Haim Saban and Bill Ackman. If you are an American mover and shaker there is a good chance you are a Zionist. AIPAC cements this mighty host into a monolith with the promise of electoral defeat to any who do not stay the course.
This terrifies me. Who is representing America's interest which must be independent of what Israel wants? The answer as seen clearly since Oct 7 is, nobody. Washington DC is all in for Israel, Israel knows it and plays the US country like a fiddle. Now US war with Iran threatens, a goal openly stated by Netanyahu for two decades. Netanyahu is in the driver's seat knowing that no matter what he does the US will defend it. US mainstream media will frame events as Israel desires and our president will stay the Zionist course, mouthing concerns that amount to nothing.
Ethnic cleansing, if it is Israel doing it, will continue. The paradox of America eagerly supporting it will not be noted. Liberty and justice for all has been put in very deep storage. Those in power in Washington gives no indication of knowing it is stored away or of wanting to look for it.
What Paul Simon sang about so many years ago has come to pass, the Statue of Liberty has sailed out to sea.
Israel and its sponsors/allies have run a propaganda program called “hasbara” for decades.
For example it is not “genocide” because the Palestinians won’t leave, and Hamas won’t come out and attack in unpopulated terrain where U.S. bombs won’t kill innocents.
Thank you for this. I agree with it virtually 100%. Although your moniker is "Moebus", I wouldn't call you one-sided. My only slight reservation concerns the American people. Although they have certainly been led around by the nose for a very long time, I have a vague feeing that they are catching on to the fact that they have been deliberately moronized and are being snookered, and that this shift (not yet a "sea change" by any means) applies to people on various sides of the political spectrum—least, perhaps, to those who self-identify as "liberals". (I was brought up in a liberal home, but today's "liberals" are not my mother's kind of liberals.) My optimism in this direction is slight and guarded, but hopeful.
Today’s email from Ron Paul's “Campaign for Liberty... :
THE SPY STATE CAME OUT IN FULL FORCE ON FRIDAY
After you and thousands and thousands of other patriots shut down the House Rule for Section 702 renewal on Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) started arm twisting.
Johnson and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) rushed a slightly revised “reform” bill before the Rules Committee Thursday night and then to the House floor early Friday morning.
The carrot for those members who value liberty was allowing a vote on a warrant requirement amendment, which would FORCE THE FBI TO GET A WARRANT BEFORE SURVEILLING A U.S. CITIZEN.
Turner and his Spy State apologists took the stance that “IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE, THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.” THEY COMPLETELY IGNORE THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
The vote on the warrant amendment was on the cusp of being passed until, according to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) . . .
Mike Johnson stepped in and voted when a House speaker normally doesn’t.
Johnson voted “no,” and the amendment failed.
ON A TIED VOTE, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES REJECTED THE NEED FOR A WARRANT TO SPY ON YOU AND OTHER INNOCENT AMERICANS.
THE HOUSE THEN PROCEEDED TO APPROVE AN EXPANDED VERSION OF SECTION 702 OF FISA FOR TWO MORE YEARS.
It was a disappointment, especially when we were on the verge of shutting down this dangerous bill in committee.
THE SPY STATE APOLOGISTS WERE DISINGENUOUS TIME AND TIME AGAIN. THEY ESSENTIALLY CLAIMED THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY OR HAMAS WOULD BE MOVING INTO EVERY BASEMENT IN AMERICA IF THE WARRANT AMENDMENT PASSED.
EVEN AFTER YEARS OF BEING LIED TO BY THE DEEP STATE ON EVERY ISSUE UNDER THE SUN . . . MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS BELIEVED THE LIES AND VOTED TO EXPAND AND PASS FISA RENEWAL.
The silver lining is the renewal is only good for two years, instead of five, which gives us time to prepare for that battle.
But now we are gearing up for the next fight, in the Senate, where they must pass the renewal next week, before Section 702 expires.
We will fight this dangerous bill every step of the way.
You and I gave pause to many representatives, and we won’t give up now!
In an election year, more and more incumbents are more careful with their votes.
Isn't it amazing how predictably off - usually by ~180° from any objectively honest reading of the facts - will be any NYT article about any of Wall St.'s friends and enemies?

Miscalculation Led to Escalation in Clash Between Israel and Iran
Israeli officials say they didn’t see a strike on a high-level Iranian target in Syria as a provocation, and did not give Washington a heads-up about it until right before it happened.
The Spiritual Problem I see, is now that the US West lets Israel get away with impunity for violating the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Missions for All Nations is considered that Nation's Sovereign Territory.
Every US Western Diplomatic Mission everywhere having a Military Attache or CIA-Mossad-MI6 undercover Agent, is now ripe for attack, if not State to State, but by non-State Actors, like Israel always employed using Mossad and assassinations in it's undercover WAR with Iran until this Direct ATTACK by Israel on Iran from Israeli soil.
That is the consequence for the World not condemning Israel for it's ILLEGAL attack on Sovereign Iranian Territory.
It was Israel that 1st VIOLATED that Convention by the Israeli ACT OF WAR of attacking Iran's Sovereign Territory in Damascus Syria.
Israel on April Fools Day, instead of bombing Iranian proxies in Sovereign Syria as Israel does almost weekly in VIOLATION of International Law. with impunity. It was Israel that attacked Iran's Sovereign Territory in Syria to take the World's ATTENTION away from the genocide in Gaza, ESCALATING that MASSACRE to expand to the Middle East and the World.
Israel had to do something drastic! Israel deliberately targeted the World Central Kitchen Aid Convoy that morning killing so many Aid Workers from Europe, CanaDa, the US and Australia.
The World was already turning against Israel being witness to the Gaza genocide, but that outrage was compounded by the Israeli attack.
The only way to get the World's attention off that outrage, was to do something more outrageous, and what could possibly do that? Obviously attacking Iran's Sovereign Territory in Damascus did it, expanding Israel's WAR against Palestinians to the Middle East, just the thing the West feared most, by attacking Iran directly from Israeli territory!
Israel did 2 stupid things April 1, 2024, Israel's April Fools Day!
"Israel’s actions over the last six months have made it abundantly clear that Biden’s stated goal of preventing the outbreak of more war in the middle east and his stated “ironclad” support for Israel are two mutually exclusive positions. You can do one or the other, but not both."
"So much suffering and loss has been caused by the way people decided a long time ago that killing one person is murder and therefore immoral but killing thousands of people is “war” and therefore fine. The actual act is the same; only the narrative and the scale are different."
Caitlin Johnstone gets it!
'Rules-Based Order" Means Rules For Thee But Not For We'
I may as well use the NYT offer to let me share with anyone any NYT article for free.
This NYT header I believe. 'U.N. Panel Says Israel Is Obstructing Its Investigation of the Oct. 7 Attack'
Israel loved the UN when it imposed European Jews on Palestinians, giving the minority European Jews 55% of Palestine. The GROSS hypocrisy was the US, Canada and England refused to accept Jewish Refugees from Hitler's Europe in 1938-39 and sent them back to their Deaths.
It was after the 1967 WAR, when Israel started sending Israelis into OCCUPIED Palestine to establish ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS, the UN started telling Israel doing that is a VIOLATION of The Geneva Convention so STOP IT! That's when Israel started HATING the UN!
The US, England, France, CanaDa claim they stand for the Rules Based Order. They all KNEW Israeli Settlements in OCCUPIED Palestine were ILLEGAL and let Israel get away with VIOLATING International Law for Decades without imposing any serious Sanctions to make Israel live within the boundaries of International Law.
If they did that then, October 7 and the potential Middle East War aka ARMAGEDDON wouldn't be closer than ever before in Human History as we can see it unfolding before our EYES in Our Generations.
The US West, in turning a BLIND EYE to Israeli VIOLATIONS on International Law over Decades, has only ENCOURAGED Israel to make the OLD TESTAMENT BIBLICAL CLAIM, “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty” TRUMP International Law
That's the hard core REALITY of what's unfolding in the Middle East where Jews, Christians and Muslims take their Religion DEADLY SERIOUS.
This Western Materialistic irreligious World, as the Middle East Religious WAR, aka the Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty, aka ARMAGEDDON is developing right before our eyes, doesn't recognize it for what it is!
Interesting how the US Government's voice of "reason" Is Dana Stroul, a Defense Department Warmonger, whose sole intent is to create unrest by destroying the lives of the people in West Asia.
WHY ISLAM WILL LIKELY WIN ITS FOREVER WAR AGAINST THE WEST by Doug Casey / International Man 10 Apr 24
Let’s examine Islam and its impact on the West.
Here’s the bottom line: the conflict between Islam and the West amounts to a Forever War, a concept from Joe Haldeman’s sci-fi novel of the same name. And the Mohammedan’s are likely to win its next stage.
The Forever War got underway in the early 7th century and has ebbed and flowed since then. It’s now heating up again, as evidenced by the fact that most recent wars and terrorist activities center around places like Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Lebanon, Bosnia, Sudan, and Afghanistan, and organizations with names like Hamas, Black September, and Al-Qaeda.
Why is that? Muslims see their lands and culture as having been under constant attack since the Crusades. The romantic image of knights in armor battling to free the Holy Land from the infidel is reversed in their eyes. They see hordes of European barbarians having invaded their homeland on a pretext, intent on rape, murder, and wholesale looting.
Over the last two centuries, European and now American armies have run roughshod over every Muslim country. The Musselmen don’t like it any more than Americans would if the Houthis were bombing New York and had a “no-fly” zone set up over Alabama to protect a black separatist movement.
Their personal foibles aside, Saddam Hussein and Moammar Khadafi are viewed as heroes by most Muslims for having fought against the Crusaders despite enormous odds.
Islam is probably the world’s largest religion, with 2 billion adherents, certainly, if you consider the number of real, as opposed to just nominal believers. It’s also the world’s fastest-growing. It completely dominates a huge part of the world with lots of poor people, little capital, little freedom, and uniformly repressive governments. To what degree is that the fault of Islam? I’d say to a large degree. But if that’s the case, how can the Mohammedans possibly win the Forever War? I’m going to show why they likely will.... .
Just to be clear, the edited CNN headline is not my doing. I saw it on Twitter/X first.

WHY ISLAM WILL LIKELY WIN ITS FOREVER WAR AGAINST THE WEST by Doug Casey / International Man 10 Apr 24

Here’s the bottom line: the conflict between Islam and the West amounts to a Forever War, a concept from Joe Haldeman’s sci-fi novel of the same name. And the Mohammedan’s are likely to win its next stage.
The Forever War got underway in the early 7th century and has ebbed and flowed since then. It’s now heating up again, as evidenced by the fact that most recent wars and terrorist activities center around places like Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Lebanon, Bosnia, Sudan, and Afghanistan, and organizations with names like Hamas, Black September, and Al-Qaeda.
