Glenn Greenwald: Trump turns against Tucker Carlson over Iran

Writes Rick Rozoff:

How apt that Trump went on a rant against Carlson with the Atlantic magazine, a rag that never misses a chance to compare him (Trump) to Hitler. Now he’ll be redeemed with that repugnant crowd.

Don’t buy into the lies

Writes Caitlin Johnstone:

President Trump is reportedly returning to Washington early from a G7 summit in Canada and has told his national security council to prepare for an urgent meeting in the situation room, apparently to discuss Iran.

The US president has taken to social media to terrorize Iranian civilians, telling Tehran’s millions of inhabitants that they must immediately evacuate the city and saying “Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign.”

Weirdly, the strongest indication that Trump has made a decision to attack Iran might be a recent post on Truth Social about former Fox News darling Tucker Carlson.

“Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that,” IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!” the president posted.

Carlson has been an outspoken critic of warmongering toward Iran, and was reportedly responsible for personally talking the president out of his Iran brinkmanship in the first Trump administration.

Antiwar’s Scott Horton is reporting that, according to his sources, the Trump administration has already decided to join in Israel’s war.

Capitol Hill is clearly worried that a war with Iran is imminent, with numerous lawmakers in the House and the Senate scrambling to get legislation in place that would stop the president from ordering such a war.

Benjamin Netanyahu has been speaking to the western press to argue in favor of assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. I keep thinking about the Mad King in Game of Thrones who went nuts and kept ordering everyone to be burned, until a member of his own court decided enough is enough and slit his throat.

A full-scale US war against Iran is one of the worst things that could possibly happen. Full stop. It would likely entail millions of deaths, massive worldwide economic suffering, chaos and devastation throughout the middle east unlike anything we’ve ever seen, and could easily wind up with an Israeli nuclear weapon exploding in Tehran. There is a reason even a lot of otherwise war-happy swamp monsters in Washington have resisted going down this path. I really, really hope it doesn’t happen.

If this is the direction the empire chooses to go, expect mass-scale psychological manipulation on an entirely unprecedented level to dupe the public into going along with this thing. Expect far more lies. Expect far more propaganda. Expect psyops. Maybe a false flag attack or two. It will be bad.

Don’t buy into the lies. Oppose their warmongering at the top of your lungs, with everything you’ve got. I will be doing the same.

Anyone who supports this war is an enemy of the human species.

Candace Owens’ J’accuse

Rick Rozoff wrote:

My comment beneath the Candace Owens video:

American officials and their Israeli ventriloquists earlier accused Iraq, Libya and Syria of conspiring to develop ‘weapons of mass destruction,’ and now the three nations, all the homes of ancient and venerable civilizations, to all intents no longer exist. Now for a nation that has inherited a 3,000-year-old civilization and has a population of 90 million, more than the first three countries combined.

“Doctor” Mike Evans and the Evangelicals

Tim McGraw wrote:

“The evangelical community helped deliver the White House to President Donald Trump and, therefore, believes his administration should support Israel’s biblical rights to its historical heartland of Judea and Samaria, Dr. Mike Evans, founder of Friends of Zion, told Fox News Digital.

“We hold strongly to that stand. President Trump won because of the Evangelical vote. There are 52 million of us in America, and we are Bible believers,” he continued. “Jesus said, ‘You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria,'” he said. His organization claims nearly 30 million members.” LRC Political Theater

Hi Lew,

Oh, this “doctor” Mike Evans is a piece of work. “52 million Bible believers”, I hope it’s a bit higher than that. 30 million members claimed by Evans in his group of Zionist supporters. That is depressing if true.

The quote Evans cites is Jesus saying that witnesses in Jerusalem, etc., who saw his crucifixion (torture and murder) and Resurrection should testify to the Truth. It doesn’t mean that today’s Christians should defend Zionists running the Levant. Evans is insane, but no doubt very rich.

>Trump also ordered Tehran a city of around 10 million people to evacuate indicating that he’s preparing to order military action against them. He also called Carlson “kooky” because he doesn’t want to go to war against Iran for Israel over unproven claims about nuclear weapons.

They’re already trying to spin all of this activity in the Middle East as “America First” when it is obviously not. Pete Hegseth was on Fox News comically claiming that Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran was “self defense.” He was also trying to sell the idea that all this stupid stuff we are doing in the Middle East is somehow good for America when it is obviously not. It’s all for the benefit of Israel.
