Trump’s Plan for Iran: Put Terrorists in Charge

undefined
Back in the 2008 presidential race, I explained to then-candidate Rudy Giuliani the concept of “blowback.” Years of US meddling and military occupation of parts of the Middle East motivated a group of terrorists to carry out attacks against the United States on 9/11. They didn’t do it because we are so rich and so free, as the neocons would have us believe. They came over here because we had been killing Muslims “over there” for decades.How do we know this? Well, they told us. Osama bin Laden made it clear why al-Qaeda sought to attack the US. They didn’t like the US taking sides in the Israel-Palestine conflict and they didn’t like US troops on their holy land.

Why believe a terrorist, some responded. As I explained to Giuliani ten years ago, the concept of “blowback” is well-known in the US intelligence community and particularly by the CIA.

Unfortunately, it is clear that Giuliani never really understood what I was trying to tell him. Like the rest of the neocons, he either doesn’t get it or doesn’t want to get it. In a recent speech to the MeK – a violent Islamist-Marxist cult that spent two decades on the US terror watch list – Giuliani promised that the Trump Administration had made “regime change” a priority for Iran. He even told the members of that organization – an organization that has killed dozens of Americans – that Trump would put them in charge of Iran!

Giuliani shares with numerous other neocons like John Bolton a strong relationship with this group. In fact, both Giuliani and Bolton have been on the payroll of the MeK and have received tens of thousands of dollars to speak to their followers. This is another example of how foreign lobbies and special interest groups maintain an iron grip on our foreign policy.

Does anyone really think Iran will be better off if Trump puts a bunch of “former” terrorists in charge of the country? How did that work in Libya?

It’s easy to dismiss the bombastic Giuliani as he speaks to his financial benefactors in the MeK. Unfortunately, however, Giuliani’s claims were confirmed late last week, when the Washington Free Beacon published a three-page policy paper being circulated among National Security Council officials containing plans to spark regime change in Iran.

The paper suggests that the US focus on Iran’s many ethnic minority groups to spark unrest and an eventual overthrow of the government. This is virtually the same road map that the US has followed in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and so on. The results have been unmitigated disaster after disaster.

Unleashing terrorists on Iran to overthrow its government is not only illegal and immoral: it’s also incredibly stupid. We know from 9/11 that blowback is real, even if Giuliani and the neocons refuse to understand it. Iran does not threaten the United States. Unlike Washington’s Arab allies in the region, Iran actually holds reasonably democratic elections and has a Western-oriented, educated, and very young population.

Why not open up to Iran with massive amounts of trade and other contacts? Does anyone (except for the neocons) really believe it is better to unleash terrorists on a population than to engage them in trade and travel? We need to worry about blowback from President Trump’s fully-neoconized Middle East policy! That’s the real threat!

Typical republican idiocy. The greatest advocate of liberty in American history is dismissed as the “king of pork.” I bet this moron voted for John McCain.

There are several short term gains for the NeoCons: Iraq and Libya became basket cases vs Israel; Syria is on the way and they have begun chipping away on Iran. The MSM craft the news reports such that: Israel’s enemies appear as vicious Fascist which gives Israel some slack attacking everybody as a vicious Fascist; it gives Israel cause to give more speeches requesting and receiving more US assistance for themselves and less for their enemies; it gives rationalization for Israel and the US to provide aid to “Islamic freedom fighters” fighting Israel’s enemies. More Terrorist-in-the-Shadows-to-be-Put-in-Charge is TPTB’s Plan, you betcha.

I tried to add “If Iran becomes rubble and 10 million people flee to Europe, then the land from the Nile to the Euphrates (Gen 15:18) will be a piece of cake for he IDF.

This MeK operation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran sounds a lot like Ahmad Chalabi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Chalabi and his buddies who’d painted a rosy-sky if the US would topple Saddam. I hope Ron Paul is wrong about US plans for “regime change” in Iran, but fear he’s not. No one should join the US military. No one.

Why? Look at the title of the piece. That’s absurd on its face. Or how about this gem. “Osama bin Laden made it clear why al-Qaeda sought to attack the US. They didn’t like the US taking sides in the Israel-Palestine conflict and they didn’t like US troops on their holy land.” And we should give a flying fuck what osama bin laden thinks why?

First, Giuliani is not stupid, just evil. He knows full well that there is blowback from US interventions. He doesn’t give a fuck because he is on Israel’s payroll.

Second: That Gouliani and the other neocons are pushing the MEK just shows they don’t give a fuck about the Iranian people either. The MEK is even LESS popular than the Shah was. Might as well put Shah Jr. on the Peacock throne, that would be far more acceptable to Iranians. The fucking MEK supported Saddam Hussein and up until he was deposed had their headquarters in Iraq. Prior to that they were a terrorist group that targeted Iranians as well as Americans. All this is moar proof that the Neocons really want Iran destroyed; fractured by ethnic and political rivalries. Aside from the aspect of justice (not a small thing), how could anyone but evil Israelis (who are more selfish and arrogant than smart) think it would be a good idea to turn a nation as big, advanced and populous as Iran into a failed state?

Clearly the neocons are about as evil as evil can be. The state that needs to be crushed and destroyed is Israel. Death to it.

Without carrying on about Ron Paul, I will just say that the sudden reappearance and vaginal-rejuvination of cross-dressing 9/11 insider and former federal prosecutor Rudolph Giuliani is *scraping the bottom of the barrel* for rejects to toss up as a Drumpf team member.

Ron is certainly right. It is the Joos. Israel should be attacked by the UN and NATO for their failed attack on the Palestinian State border. The heroic Palestinian defenders who repelled the IDF attack deserve our support.
