Washington Escalates the Middle East Conflict

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

As I expected, Washington is moving the conflict toward Iran.

Washington chose this moment to escalate in order to direct the news away from Israel’s trial in the International Court of Justice. Regardless, Washington’s neoconservatives intended escalation from the beginning of the Israeli-Hamas war.

https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/major-escalation-biden-launches-war-on-yemen/

It has been clear to me since 9/11 in 2001 that  neoconservative dominance in Washington guaranteed we were on a road to escalation that would eventually reach Armageddon.  The world is going to be victimized by the incapacity of the American political and intellectual classes to think clearly and honestly.  We are approaching Armageddon because US foreign policy serves Israeli expansion, not peace.

Washington has now launched air and naval attacks on Yemen.  Sadeh, Zubaydah, Abs, Bani, Sana, Hudaydah, and Taiz have been attacked by American forces, initiating yet another war without Congressional approval, a branch of the US government emptied of power.  The New York Times, of course, blames the expansion of the conflict on the Houthis for interfering with shipping to Israel.  With any luck, the fools in Washington will topple all of the US puppets in the Middle East.  Even Bahrainis are in the streets today protesting Bahrain’s participation in Washington’s attack on Yemeni territory.

The price of oil increased in response to the American attacks.  Oil kingdoms, such as Saudi Arabia and Oman, are beginning to feel rocky as a result of their alignment with Washington against the Houthis.  The White House fool says it is the Houthis’ attacks that are reckless, not Washington’s. The New York Times and the rest of the Western media have gone to work placing all blame on the Houthis  The Houthis have announced that as a result of the US/UK strikes on Yemen “all American and British interests have become legitimate targets.” You can see where this is going.

“The Senate GOP leadership’s draft border deal with the White House would reward illegal migration and encourage more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates, says the Immigration Accountability Project.

“There’s nothing in there that [restricts immigration], in fact, it’s just going to encourage more people to come,” said Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project, adding:

It essentially authorizes the Biden administration to continue to catch and release people into the country. It authorizes them to give them work permits [to illegal migrants and] authorizes them to grant parole [legal status] to everybody that they’re able to funnel to a port of entry.

The Republicans got played by the Democrats, he said. “The Republicans went to the auto shop to get their car fixed and walked out with a broken cup holder,” said Chmielenski, who posted the details in a tweet:

Border deal would:

1) Increase green cards by 50,000/year

2) Work permits for adult children of H-1B holders

3) Immediate work permits to every illegal alien released from custody

4) Taxpayer funded lawyers to certain UACs and mentally incompetent aliens

5) Expulsion authority for a limited number of days ONLY if encounters exceed 5k/day over a seven day period

6) Restricts parole for those who enter without authorization between ports of entry”

And I still don’t give a shit about Israel or the Palestinians. And my sons aren’t going to war for either of them.

Really? It may interest you to know that we are all Palestinians now and ruled by the same vile bunch of
despicable communist, Satan worshiping assholes. Remember, the “great replacement is not a conspiracy theory, but is a fact you may also not be aware of. You may also not be aware of their “code words,” such as diversity, which is code for White genocide. You may want to prepare your sons to fight for their future under the iron boot of the Zionist Occupational government (ZOG) which is currently working fervently to turn this nation into an international shithole without any borders, hope or future.

This situation is not going to end well, but this is the goal. The psychopaths in the “world centers of power” love war, war is extremely profitable for them, war aids their goal for global depopulation. As the wars expand, more civilians will die. In modern Western warfare it is civilians who suffer the most casualties; what the crazies callously call “collateral damage”. For the plutocrats war is great.
The war in Ukraine is not going to end any time soon because the US/NATO/UK axis of insanity still think they can win. The attacks on the Houthis will backfire because the Houthis will strike back and this will disrupt shipping and cause more “collateral damage” meaning additional human life and economic disruption.
The Israelis have exposed their psychopathy for all the world to see. Good for the South African they have the moral fortitude to seek redress and an end to the genocide the Ashkenazim are inflicting by bringing them before an international criminal court. The Chinese say, “may you live in interesting times.”; 2024 is going to be really interesting.

Just like a criminal who has gotten away with many crimes will continue brazenly to do more and worse crimes, and end up in prison for many years, become a recidivist and eventually end up in prison for life, or may get the death penalty, that is what the US is doing in this world.
The US acts like a stupid mindless criminal in this world.
It is addicted to criminality to feed its own demise.
The US will destroy itself.
It thinks it is above the law and above God.
It has only a short time, maybe 5 years at the most, before nothing will be left of the USA, that once existed here before.
That will be its epitaph, it died because it acted like a stupid criminal.

It is the Yiddish trick, coning you out of all the good things you have from birth,
and from the foundations of your gentile, traditions and societies,
and taking those things only for themselves
then replacing what you once had that was good
with something which is the total opposite of what you once had,
things that are heinous and evil that no one would want.
It is called the totally Yiddish: “Bait and Switch”.
They are not human they are demonic entities that were once human,
who ended up in Hell for their massive evil,
and then return as the minions of Satan to work for the rulers of Hell.
Their sole purpose is to take many others down to Hell.
They even go about making contracts with the gentiles who still have souls to sell them to Satan,
In return for their souls they get even worse ‘bait and switch’ con games.
Just look at Joe, he is President but he is soulless and a fool that every mocks and despises.
Here is the definition of the synagogue of Satan pure and simply put.
“They once belonged to God and now they serve Satan.
They are sent here to earth only to corrupt and steal and destroy, by and for the powers of Hell, in the war against God for our souls.”

The pudwankers in charge in chief of the joint of record in command really seem to be out there. They seem to believe their own propaganda. They delight in the smell of their own farts. I presume they make meals of their bodily waste, with gusto, and expensive place settings.

The man is hollow. He is straw. His visage is fierce and huge while his body is paper. His colors are bold and bright but run when wetted by the rain of reality. He is as the brazen bull, a terrifying sight and sound when heated by the fire, as the imprisoned and burned victim dies the horrible roaring subsides to a whimper.

The world is not even pretending to take serious notice of the pudwankers in charge in chief of the joint of record in command here in USA. They are keeping one eye out for acts of cowardly desperation… nukes…

If only we could have stern, sober, moral, thoughtful, experienced men in charge once again rather than the affirmative action DIE shit for brains queers and tweekerholic pedophile shitshow coprophages we have on hand now. We might get back to speaking softly and carrying a handsomely sized stick, rather than banging on as the empty drum does, loudly and to no real effect.
