Several progressive US lawmakers called on President Donald Trump to lift the murderous sanctions on Iran. Among them are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT), Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Representative Jared Huffman (D-CA), Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX), Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA).

Perhaps Donald Trump couldn’t give a damn about their letter because they are all Democrats, and some of them are „special friends“ of Trump. But what about Joe Biden, the most likely contender of Trump. Being asked at Meet the Press, Biden replied he doesn’t have enough information. This answer is typical for Biden, who acts like a political moron who has a memory defect.

Information is on the table. Trump’s deadly sanctions strangulate the country and will lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths in Iran, such as the Bill Clinton’s sanctions on Iraq led to the end of 500 000 children, which then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright thought it was worthwhile. US foreign policy is not run by Trump but by Pompeo, Netanyahu, and killer-in-chief Mohammed bin Salman. In light of the corona crisis, they are planning a war against Iran.

Why doesn’t the European Union lift the sanctions on Iran or Germany? These countries would be real sovereigns. They could do it, but they are all vassals of the US Empire and under the boot of Donald Trump. Why don’t they accept that Trump can sanction one-third of the world’s countries without any resistance? For Germany, it’s not surprising. Germany has been a US colony since the end of World War II. The reunification hasn’t changed a thing.

No less a figure than former Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble said at the Frankfort Banking Congress on 18 November 2011 that Germany is not sovereign and has never been since the end of World War II. Schäuble’s remarks on sovereignty didn’t get much attention in the mainstream media because they all go for globalization. Independence is anathema for them.

Coming back to sanctions relief on Iran, only one representative of the German Bundestag, Armin-Paul Hampel from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) called for it. Still, it didn’t find any resonance in the media. Hampel also calls for the end of sanctions against Russia. Where is the German left?

Not only under the current Corona hysteria, but Trump’s sanctions policy should also be beyond the pale for all countries. The only leaders who resist Trump’s bullying are Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. All the others are pawns.

 I don’t understand why the Australian government and the MPs not lifting a finger to get their citizen Julian Assange back home. Perhaps PM Scott Morrison should ask Boris Johnson and President Donald Trump to let him go because he isn’t guilty of anything. His „crime“ was the publication of heinous US war crimes in Iraq. When Assange published the Clinton and Podesta emails, then-candidate Donald Trump praised him and called for more of the same.

Caitlin Johnstone is entirely right to confront the slanderer. This now time to forget the bits and bobs and play hardball. The fundamental question, which everybody has to answer is. „Should journalists be jailed for exposing US war crimes? Yes or no?“ Of course, NO. All serious journalist should be interested in the show trial before a British kangaroo court. Way off the mark! None of the slanderers from the Guardian, BBC, who name a few, showed up. Their owners already discipline them.

When the obscure „judge,“ Vanessa Baraister, will hand down her sentence for extradition, it will be the death knell for Assange. In the US, he has to stand before a secret court. So far, this Deep State court has never acquitted anybody.

It’s a pity that the media whores from the fawning press show no interest in the case; finally, they will be affected in the long run. The civil society should raise hell in their countries to mobilize the public and parliamentarians for this political prisoner who, as a journalist, has only done his job. In the end, it’s a question of humanity.

Tulsi Gabbard is the most trustworthy candidate of the Democratic Party, followed by Bernie Sander. The rest of the male crowd is corrupt to the bone. Take Joe Biden, he is a fraud. Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend Indiana, is a creation of Wall Street and big corporations. Billionaire Michael Bloomberg wants to buy his nomination from the corrupt Democratic National Committee (DNC). The DNC is composed of a bunch of political crooks and should be dissolved. In the 2016 election, they cheated Bernie Sanders to get Hillary Clinton on the ticket. This time, the DNC is hell-bent to stop Sanders and cheat also on Tulsi Gabbard.

Gabbard is the only candidate who doesn’t take a dime from big money, and she stands for stopping all foreign US interventions and wars. This is considered a severe „crime“ among the war hawks inside the Belt-Way. CNN is one of many news outlets that’s all for intervention and war. When Donald Trump announced American troop withdrawals from Syria, CNN called in all the liberal war hawks who had only one message: Trump’s policy endangers American security. Such an argument is total baloney because thereby you can justify everything.

With Gabbard’s exclusion from the debate, CNN manipulates the outcome of the election results by denying the American voters the right to decide for themselves. With this antidemocratic behavior, CNN demonstrates its disdain for the fair treatment of all the candidates again, especially with an anti-war stance. Tulsi Gabbard speaks truth to power and has a message for peace and not endless wars such as the liberals in the Democratic Party. Gabbard wants people’s voices heard.

At least it’s a good thing that the ratings of CNN are plummeting, and fewer and fewer people understand its manipulations and one-sided brainwashing. With its hysterical and distorted anti-Trump reporting, they turned off many viewers who couldn’t stand CNN’s 24/7 half-truth or outright false reporting.

CNN folks, Tulsi Gabbard, belongs back on stage to give the American people a real choice between an anti-war candidate and a bunch of pro-war ones.

One day after the Iowa caucus, final results are still in the making. The incident sucks out loud.  Did the party establishment not like the outcome? Was it to the detriment of the corrupt Joe Biden and Hillary campaign? Just recently, Biden wondered out loud about picking the most corrupt American politician, Hillary Clinton, as his running mate.

In the 2016 presidential primaries, Clinton and the corrupt DNC (Democratic National Committee) mafia stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders.  Why not do it again on a smaller scale in Iowa? It’s unbelievable that there are any results available. Perhaps the big shots of the Democratic Party didn’t like the outcome, and their corrupt frontrunner Joe Biden went down south. Either Bernie Sanders or Pete Buttigieg come out first. At least, Buttigieg seized the chance and delivered a brilliant victory speech, whereas the other candidates left sour-faced the scene.

The officials of the Iowa Democrats blamed a „new App“ for the mishap. But this story is so unworldly that only the folks from CNN and their politically one-sided „experts“ took it seriously. They also blame the caucus system, which seems all of a sudden odd. Instead of digging into the fraud, CNN moved with the candidates to New Hampshire, where the next primary goes down. But a media outlet that has been agitating for more than three years against President Donald Trump and the corrupt Democratic establishment is not interested in the truth.

After more than three years of demonization by the Democrats and their handlers in the lying press, Donald Trump won his case; many media outlets are „fake news,“ especially CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, the Washington Post, what have you. In retrospect, Russian hoax and Ukraine scam were stings by the Democratic establishment and the Deep State. The last one even led to an impeachment trial in the House and the US Senate. The Republican majority in the Senate will finally put an end to this farce. 

The Iowa manipulation is going to discredit the entire Democratic selection process. Perhaps all the results will be doctored till the most corrupt Democratic candidate will be nominated to lose against incumbent Donald Trump.

Watching the hysterical CNN reporting on the murder of Major general Qasem Soleimani by the Trump/Netanyahu regime, I ask myself why these folks don’t ask the most obvious question? Cui bono?  Just think a second, and you get the answer: Israel! CNN’s main concern focuses on the term „imminent threat,“ but  there was no „imminent threat.“ The whole thing was made up by the Israelis. But these journalists are afraid of asking the obvious.

Benjamin Netanyahu has already talked Trump into dumping the Iran Nuclear Deal. Already here, Trump relied on Israeli manipulated intelligence. He put Israeli interests before American ones. Netanyahu always pushed the Bush and the Obama administration to attack Iran, but they did not listen to this madman. Finally, he found a useful idiot in President Trump who handed Netanyahu already Jerusalem as Israel’s „capital“ on a liver platter. Trump couldn’t give a damn that this gift was against international law.

As far, the Trump administration could not present single evidence about the so-called „imminent threat.“ When Mike Pompeo was all over the networks on the weekend, he bagged the journalists to trust his words. Everybody knows how trustful  American politicians are. They have zero credibility.

With the attack on Soleimani, the Trump regime was mouse trapped by the Zionist regime. Trump has to wage war against Iran for the sole benefit of Israel and to the detriment of his own country. The poor American servicemen and servicewomen have to die for a government that is not worth a dime. It has been subjugating another people for the last century and has stolen their land and colonized it.  For such a system is the „beacon of democracy“  fighting for!

Last October, the head of the Israel Mossad, talked about the assassination of Soleimani in the open. In the „Times of Israel,“  he announced that his killing is not „impossible.“ “He knows very well that his assassination is not impossible. His actions are identified and felt everywhere … there’s no doubt the infrastructure he built presents a serious challenge for Israel.” That the Zionist regime provided the intelligence for Trump is very obvious. He doesn’t trust his intelligence agencies for good reasons, because they wanted to topple him. Trump instead plays the hitman for Israel. After Trump obeyed Israel’s order, they popped the corks.

Trump would not be Trump if he did not also threaten Iran with the destruction of its cultural sites. For any act of resistance by Iran, Trump blustered with 52 massive acts of reprisals, in memory of the 52 American hostages taken by Iran in 1979 after the Shah regime disappeared. Trump wants to follow suit ISIS, who also destroyed cultural sites in Iraq and Syria. The Trump regime seems not an iota better than ISIS.

Trump should know that he will be held accountable for the many dead American soldiers because of his reckless behavior. For the impeachment hoax, he shouldn’t start a war that he can’t win. Perhaps Trump should take the following word to heart: „Boys go to Bagdad,  Real Men go to Tehran.“ This infamous slogan stems from the Ziocons, who have also hijacked the Trump administration. Trump should send some of these „tough guys“ to Tehran; it would be a blessing for the American political class.

Der Chef der iranischen Al-Quds-Brigaden, Generalmajor Qasem Soleimani, wurde am Freitag durch einen amerikanischen Luftangriff auf dem Weg zum Flughafen in Bagdad ermordet. Mit diesem staatsterroristischen Akt stehen die USA in einer Reihe mit Israel, dass seit Jahrzehnten Palästinenser durch feige staatsterroristische Akte aus der Luft tötet. Die Weltöffentlichkeit hat es nun mit zwei Schurkenstaaten zu tun, die westliche Werte, Völkerrecht und Menschenrechte verachten, obgleich sie diese ständig als Rechtfertigungen für ihre Schandtaten anführen. Beide, Präsident Donald Trump und Israels MP Benjamin Netanyahu, reden ständig vom Frieden, meinen aber Krieg.

Zur Begründung des heimtückischen Mordes beruft sich Trump auf dubiose Geheimdienstberichte, nach denen angeblich größere Anschläge auf Amerikaner geplant gewesen sein sollen oder kurz bevorstanden. Konkrete Angaben konnte er aber nicht machen. Hatte sich Trump wieder einmal auf manipulierte Geheimdienstberichte der Israelis verlassen wie bei Netanyahus Coup, um das Nuklearabkommen mit dem Iran zu Fall zu bringen? Die Handschrift des Mossad bei diesem Terroranschlag ist für jeden erkennbar, und Trump hat sich als gelehriger Schüler erwiesen.

Israel hat das größte Interesse, die USA in einen Krieg mit Iran hineinzuziehen. Seit mehreren Jahrzehnten dämonisiert Israel den Iran und warnt vor dessen nichtexistierenden Atomprogramm. Israel selbst verfügt aber über 300 bis 400 Atomsprengköpfe und betreibt ein geheimes Nuklearprogramm. Es hat den Atomwaffensperrvertrag nicht unterzeichnet und erlaubt der Internationalen Atomenergie-Organisation (IAEO) in Wien keine Inspektionen seiner Anlagen. Anders der Iran: Er hat den Atomwaffensperrvertrag unterzeichnet und seine Anlagen für ein enges Kontrollregime der IAEO geöffnet.

Die iranische Führung, allen voran das geistliche Oberhaupt Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hat Rache geschworen, gehörte Soleimani doch zu seinen engsten und loyalsten Beratern. Er hat der Familie des Ermordeten einen Besuch abgestattet. Die politische Führung des Iran betrachtet diesen Terrorakt als eine Kriegserklärung und hat Vergeltung angekündigt. Iran hat einen langen Atem und ist zu klug, dem Trump-Regime keine weiteren Anlässe für Terroranschläge zu geben.

Trump hat weitere Truppenverlegungen in die Region veranlasst. Der militärische Aufmarsch der USA in dieser Region geht über die Absicht einer friedlichen Lösung weit hinaus, obgleich Trump behauptet, keinen Krieg zu wollen. Auf Trumps Wort darf man jedoch nichts geben. Er hat schon mehrmals den Abzug der US-Truppen aus Syrien, Afghanistan oder Irak angeordnet, aber nichts ist geschehen. Der US-Präsident verkündet zwar vollmundig „seine“ Entscheidungen, die andere vorher festgelegt haben. Trump ist die Kontrolle über die US-Außenpolitik völlig entglitten.

Seine Präsidentschaft ist fest in neokonservativer und zionistisch-jüdischer Hand. Diese Lobbygruppen bestimmen die Agenda der amerikanischen Nahostpolitik, die nicht im amerikanischen sondern im israelischen Interesse liegt. Dies hat sich bereits deutlich in der Anerkennung Jerusalems als „israelischer Hauptstadt“ und der Anerkennung der illegalen Annexion der Golan-Höhen durch die Trump-Regierung gezeigt. Auch die völkerrechtswidrigen Siedlerkolonien, die auf Landraub beruhen, werden von den USA als natürlich Expansion Israels anerkannt. Der flagrante Verstoß gegen Völkerrecht kann nicht im nationalen Interesse der USA liegen, weil er die Reputation des Landes als „Leuchte der Demokratie“ untergräbt.

Der Terroranschlag auf irakischen Boden stellt nicht nur eine Verletzung der irakischen Souveränität dar, sondern zeigt auch die völlig Missachtung der USA für die irakische Regierung. Das irakische Parlament sollte beschließen, dass die amerikanischen Besatzungstruppen unverzüglich den Irak verlassen müssen. Eine solche Entscheidung würde der Souveränität des Landes entsprechen, die aber nur auf dem Papier steht. Die wirklichen Herrscher des Irak sind die US-Besatzer, daran haben auch die Wahlen seit dem Sturz Saddam Husseins im Jahr 2003 nichts geändert.

Sollte es der irakischen Regierung gelingen, die US-Besatzungstruppen des Landes zu verweisen, hätte die Ermordung Qasem Soleimani „einen Sinn“ gehabt. So könnte der Mord an Soleimani letztendlich zur Befreiung des Nahen Ostens von den US-Besatzern führen.

The White Helmets are a terrorist affiliate of ISIS and al-Nusra front and not paramedics. A British secret service agent created these pseudo paramedics terrorists with the financial support of Western countries. Great Britain, France, Germany, and the U. S financed this terror organization. They received even an OSCAR award from the terror-supporting Hollywood factory, contracted by Israel and the Pentagon. Except for the Western fawning and corrupt media, the White Helmets are considered a terrorist affiliate and extremely dangerous. They are not paramedics but a ragtag gang of Western financed terrorists.

The White Helmets only come to the „rescue“ in ISIS-controlled and run territories. When there were so-called poison-gas attacks, the first on the scene were White Helmets. Just a coincidence? Were they even part of these staged poison-gas attacks by their brothers and sisters from ISIS? Studies have shown no involvement of the Syrian Armey but rather by ISIS and al-Nusra. Up till now, the White Helmets are only present in ISIS-controlled territory. There is not only evidence for the involvement of the White Helmets in staged false chemical and other attacks but also in harvesting organs of pretended rescued, as the Russian-based Foundation of the Study of Democracy presented.

The Trump administration pretense of fighting terrorism; actually, they support this terror group with 4.5 million US-Dollars. It comes to no one’s surprise. Haven’t the U.S created the Syrian terror scene in the first place? Why does Donald Trump follow Obama’s fatal footprints in Syria, instead of eradicating his disastrous legacy in this country? Instead of having shred the Iranian Nuclear Deal, Obama’s main achievement,  Trump instead gave in to Israel’s extremist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pressure and let the deal heading south.

Germany granted these White Helmets terrorist refugee-status in Germany due to the pressure of Israel. In the year 2000, the German government also succumbed to Israel’s influence when the Zionist occupation forces pulled out of Lebanon in a hush-hush operation. Germany had to accept their collaborators from the South Lebanese  Army. The then German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer was an obedient subordinate to Israel and especially to Madeleine Albright, the then U. S. Secretary of State, who showed him future prospects after leaving the office. 

The Trump administration went out of its way, saying that the so-called „Syrian Civil Defense“ (SCD= better-known as „White Helmets“) did „important and highly valued“ work. If the Trump White House would have had a sound crap of contemporary developments, they could have never come up with the statement that these terrorists have „secured more than 115.000 people“. They have been involved in staging terror incidents and then appeared as so-called rescuers.

That the U. S. sticks to its own „baby“ shouldn’t surprise anyone. The White Helmets are only a little department of a more extensive terror network that the Western imperial powers created to topple a legitimate ruler of Syria, President Bashar al-Assad. That Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Iranian government and the Lebanese Liberation Organization Hezbollah tipped to this political scam should perhaps only surprise the Americans and their European minions.

Putin and the Turkish President Erdogan, together with President al-Assad, will protect the border to Turkey to prevent the Kurdish militia from committing attacks inside Turkey. Whether this will be a successful undertaking also depends on Israel, which has been supporting the Kurdish struggle for an own state, but out of base motives, which do not serve the real independence of the Kurdish people.
