🚨COL. LAWRENCE WILKERSON: THE US🇺🇸 IS NOT PREPARED FOR A WAR WITH IRAN🇮🇷

‘One thing that I would say that is fairly assured is that Donald Trump is against the use of real force against Iran…I think he has been given the full briefing by different people at different times by people at the Pentagon, on how desperate a circumstance a war with Iran would create for the United States…’

‘Not just because we’re so woefully short of people in our military, but also because our industrial base is woefully inadequate. It’s going to take a couple of years before we even begin to get going on remedying that. So we don’t need to be taking any more substantial commitments and Iran would be a very substantial commitment. Ten years, $2-3 trillion, lot’s of troops, a conscription process, a draft in other words.’

-Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on Going Underground discussing why war with Iran would be disastrous for the United States

The numbers are clear:

Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed more journalists and media workers than any modern wars, including World War 1 and 2 combined

The liberal Press Freedom™️ Industry in the think tanks and NGOs of Washington continue remain silent

Israeli leaders in their own words: Israel’s First Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion:

"The strategic objective [of the Jewish forces] was to destroy the urban communities, which were the most organized and politically conscious sections of the Palestinian people. This was not done by house-to-house fighting inside the cities and towns, but by the conquest and destruction of the rural areas surrounding most of the towns. This technique led to the collapse and surrender of Halfa, Jaffa, Tiberias, Sated, Acre, Beit-Shan, Lydda, Ramleh, Majdal, and Beersheba.

Deprived of transportation, food, and raw materials, the urban communities underwent a process of disintegration, chaos, and hunger, which forced them to surrender."

🚨Axios reports that Donald Trump is ‘seriously considering’ Iran’s🇮🇷 proposal for indirect nuclear talks.

US officials said Trump "does not want to fight Iran", but needs military forces in the region to "create deterrence" in the talks.

Iran holds more cards here than one may think. Iran has no reason to trust Donald Trump after he withdrew from JCPOA in his first term, imposed punishing sanctions on Iran despite complying with JCPOA, and assassinated Qassem Soleimani.

Trump knows this, and therefore has had to seriously consider Iran’s offer for indirect talks. Iran is denying him the photo op showcasing his ‘Peace President’ diplomacy.

Iran’s leadership knows Donald Trump knows that a war with Iran would completely derail his MAGA agenda, and destroy his domestic support. Despite all of his peace rhetoric, he would be yet another President that has been responsible for another catastrophe in the Middle East.

Iran has survived ‘maximum pressure’ sanctions before, and Tehran thinks it can survive again. Donald Trump can’t afford to start a war, which means Iran could be in a stronger negotiating position than many realise.

Former CIA Agent John Stockwell:

"We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists...we didn't know of a single atrocity committed by the Cubans. It was pure raw false propaganda to create an illusion of communists eating babies for breakfast."

Another day in Zelensky’s Ukraine:

Draft officers try dragging a Ukrainian man into a mobilisation van, to be sent to die on the frontlines of the failed NATO proxy war against Russia

Fellow Ukrainians attempted to save him from certain death by dragging him back from the officers’ clutches

Ukrainians continue to be sent to die for a failed proxy war, with Ukraine’s negotiating position getting worse day by day as it loses more territory

Here’s one of the atrocities your tax dollars, pounds, and euros went towards supporting today:

Israel bombed the UNRWA clinic in Jabalia, Northern Gaza.

At least 22 were killed, including 9 children.

The US🇺🇸 has 19 B-2 bombers in its Air Force.

The US has deployed at least 6 of these B-2 Spirit bombers to Diego Garcia Air Base for a potential bombing of Iran🇮🇷.

The B-2 can carry a payload of up to 40,000 pounds, which is equivalent to 20 tons.

The B-2 can carry up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs. 

It can also carry sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs.

To have moved this many B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia shows that in the event of a US-Israeli attack on Iran, they don’t just want to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, they want to wipe Iran off the map completely.

All the US perpetually seems to have on offer for the world is war, bloodshed, and chaos.

The US’🇺🇸 new strategy: Global trade war

China’s🇨🇳 strategy:

Throwback to Tony Benn courageously defying the genocide propaganda outlet BBC, which refused to broadcast a humanitarian appeal to aid Palestinians following Israel’s bombing of Gaza in 2009

THE GREATEST PRIME MINISTER BRITAIN🇬🇧 NEVER HAD

‘Aren’t Arabs terrified? Don’t Arab and Iraqi women weep when their children die?’

On this day in 1925, Tony Benn, a giant of the socialist movement in the UK was born

Tony Benn’s (born on this day in 1925) last TV interview was on Going Underground. Here is what he said about Tony Blair and New Labour:

‘New Labour was a Conservative Party being reborn inside the Labour Party’

Now Sir Keir Starmer’s ‘Labour’ government is indistinguishable from a post-2010 Conservative government

Tony Benn would have turned 100 today.

The giant of the UK’s labour movement gave his last ever television interview to us, where he said Tony Blair should be sent to The Hague for the invasion of Iraq.

"Why are we threatening Iran🇮🇷 which hasn’t invaded anyone for 400 years...Why do we journalists write what governments tell us? Why don’t they question them?"

-The incomparable, late, great John Pilger on Going Underground in 2019, on the move towards war against Iran

Donald Trump has moved at least 6 B-2 Spirit Bombers to Diego Garcia

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte continues to babble about the ‘long-term Russian threat to NATO territory’

NATO expanded to Russia’s border and has encircled it, and now its useless Secretary-General worries about a Russian invasion of Europe that Moscow has zero interest in.

Dangle the endless war threat over the heads of the population, silence everyone speaking out against the narrative, and use the ‘war threat’ to divert money away from spending on public services towards military spending.

Ron Paul on the Trump Administration’s push for war against Iran🇮🇷:

‘To be obsessed with this thing that the greatest terrorists are the Iranians…well, what about the not thousands, MILLIONS of people since WW2 that died at the hands of our foreign policy?'

🚨SATURDAY’S GOING UNDERGROUND:

With the Gaza genocide resumed at full throttle with the support of Donald Trump, and the plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza being put into action, we will be speaking to Dr Mustafa Barghouti, General Secretary and Co-Founder of the Palestinian National Initiative

🚨DR. MUSTAFA BARGHOUTI: ‘One day the BBC itself will be accused of committing war crimes by covering up Israel’s actions.’

‘We’re talking about 15 first medical workers of the Palestinian Red Crescent, which is affiliated with the Red Cross, and another number of civil defence personnel who were all gathered to respond to the call of injured people…these 15 people in these 4 ambulances, they were probably forced out of their ambulances, handcuffed, and then shot to death by the Israeli Army.’
