veteranstoday--2020-12-27--World Revolution Strikes as Trump holds America Hostage

Don ’ t believe in conspiracy theories ?
Let ’ s look at what is going on in Washington , D.C. , as Trump golfs in Florida while the coronavirus relief bill and major government authorization bills await a signature that may or may not come .
Of course , the revolutionists who target America couldn ’ t be happier .
First some history .
In the run-up to World War I , the more astute European military analysts had begun to realize that the size and firepower of armies and navies would not be the decisive factors in modern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the point where millions of men could be deployed by either side .
But in the exponential growth of technology and its ability to inflict death and destruction on the enemy , all the great powers were on approximately equal footing .
From a tactical standpoint , armed struggle would now be simply wars of attrition .
Therefore , how long nations could hold out in the face of military stalemate would be more important than trying to achieve decisive battlefield victories .
Rather it would be socioeconomic factors , including civilian morale @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ability of the population to sustain the war effort , that in the end would prove decisive .
This brought into play such elements as financial infrastructure , the effectiveness of propaganda , and the health and resilience of workers , families , and soldiers held in reserve .
In 1898 , Russian-Polish banker Ian Bloch wrote in Is War Now Impossible ?
, “ The future of war is not fighting but famine , not the slaying of men but the bankruptcy of nations and the break-up of the whole social organization.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Fighting the First World War by William Philpott , p .
52 . )
Increasingly during the recurrent wars of the 20th century , these “ intangibles ” came into play .
Most recently , in the series of horrific wars launched by the 9/11 attacks , the ease by which a nation can be stampeded into military action was vividly illustrated .
The domestic opposition to such wars , on the other hand , illustrates that a nation ’ s staying power can not automatically be assumed .
For this , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Today the U.S. has by far the largest military on the planet .
The declared doctrine of the U.S. armed forces of “ full-spectrum dominance ” has largely been achieved .
Our warfighting capabilities are the most potent in world history , including our nuclear arsenal .
The military gets money from Congress for anything it wants .
Constitutional declarations of war are not needed for the military to be deployed .
The president says “ jump , ” and the generals and admirals say , “ How high ?
” Behind the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concoct false flags at will .
Civilization has leapt forward in leaps and bounds !
We now have a Space Force , though no one knows what it does .
The Pentagon even controls how Hollywood is allowed to portray the war machine .
If politically acceptable , we could take on any other nation or combination of nations anywhere on the planet , even at the cost of huge casualties , or , with full-scale nuclear war , planetary extinction .
Yet the U.S. as a nation grows weaker by the day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s because our social fabric is rent asunder by internal political divisions .
Our gigantic consumer economy depends on a huge but shaky financial infrastructure that has never completely rebounded from the Great Recession of 2008-9 .
Our population has been devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic that rages more aggressively even as a vaccine has begun to be rolled out that many say they will not submit to .
And , in the aftermath of the most divisive election since the Civil War , a majority of the defeated voters who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claim the election against him was rigged , while many openly to support a military coup to keep him in office .
Were a war with any other nation to arise , the U.S. would be a divided nation with serious non-military disadvantages .
But I would like to argue that we are already in a war and that we are losing it .
The main tactic being used by our adversaries is an attack on our socioeconomic health and readiness , combined with stirring up segments of our society to a fever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and its ilk have been assigned a leading role in this subversion , along with Twitter and other social media .
But who is the enemy in this war ?
Who is attacking us ?
Much is alleged , particularly on the internet , about the presence of a worldwide “ conspiracy ” whose aim is to impose some kind of “ world government ” run by “ global finance ” or some similar entity .
I do believe there is a worldwide conspiracy , but not of the type that is alleged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Q ” , or rightwing media .
In fact , all of these conspiracy theorists are themselves likely the creations of the real worldwide conspiracy that few recognize .
The existence and identity of this conspiracy was described most thoroughly by British journalist Douglas Reed ( 1895-1976 ) , whose masterwork The Conspiracy of Zion only came into print posthumously .
Obviously , as the title indicates , the Zionist movement , which Reed documents up to the year 1955 , is a piece of the puzzle , but he also makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ piece .
Reed is the most important writer of the 20th century that no one has ever heard of .
He wrote many other books , including the account of his journey to America around 1949 which he describes in his book Far and Wide and his book on Europe prior to World War II entitled Insanity Fair .
He was so much on the mark in describing accurately what really was going on , that his books were removed from bookstore shelves and his name forbidden to be mentioned in print .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ increasingly read .
Reed writes of a deep , historic conspiracy whose aim was to destroy Western Christian civilization and enslave it to an elite of controllers who would run society as a totalitarian dictatorship for materialistic ends , for self-aggrandizement , and for power .
The roots of this conspiracy are lost in the mists of time , but Reed identifies two specific events as manifestations of the workings of a hidden elite .
The first was the English Civil War of the mid-17th century , and the second was the French @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Bavarian Illuminati founded by Adam Weishaupt and outlawed at the end of the 18th century is cited by Reed as a notable example of the workings of the hidden conspiracy , but by no means the only one .
The key figures in the early stages of the world revolution were lawyers , professors , priests , and the disgruntled lesser nobility who , as a group , disdained Europe ’ s traditional ruling class and longed to seize power .
They also infiltrated the continent ’ s Masonic lodges and began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Reed characterizes the hidden conspiracy as using covert subterfuge and control of the press to overthrow all existing institutions of class , government , religion , social life , education , etc.
, and replacing them with a society more resembling an anthill or beehive , characterizations in actual use at the time as representing the human ideal .
The French Reign of Terror with the lawyer Robespierre at its head was an early example of what was coming down the pike .
The world revolution continued to develop behind the scenes during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be seen in a series of events that furthered the aims of the hidden leaders in sowing chaos throughout the Western world , including the revolutions of 1848 , the publication and distribution of Marx ’ s Communist Manifesto , and the American Civil War , ending in the assassination of Lincoln .
The anarchist movement that assassinated U.S. President William McKinley in 1900 was another of its manifestations .
The fingerprints of the world revolution can be seen in the assassinations of many other national leaders across Europe and America who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ humanity , all the way up to the killing of U.S. president John F. Kennedy in 1963 .
Because America was so obviously a great-power-to-be with a wealthy and open society and without a secret police , it was an environment where conspiracy could easily maneuver .
So the U.S. became a particular target .
The revolutionists saw early on that whoever controlled America could rule the world .
Reed also describes in excruciating detail how , by the end of the 19th century , both the Zionist and Communist movements of Europe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the leadership of the Khazar Jews of Russia .
It would make this article far too long to describe how this happened in detail , but Reed ’ s books are now available for anyone to examine .
Suffice it to say that by the start of World War I , the world revolution was largely in the hands of this Asiatic tribe residing in southern Russia that had converted to Judaism in the 5th century CE .
In 1917 the Khazars realized two of their main objectives .
One was the fomenting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the other was the Balfour Declaration whereby Great Britain promised Palestine to Khazars representatives as a Jewish national “ home.
” Among the most strenuous opponents of Khazar-controlled Zionism were the Sephardic Jews , descended from the Hebrews of the Bible , who had largely assimilated into European and American society .
But they were gradually subsumed into the Zionist/Communist enterprise and contributed greatly to the financing of its subversions .
Both Communist Russia and Zionist Israel were created by the same people , with the same sources of funding and support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ objectives .
The final goal was to be worldwide Communism with Jerusalem its capital and Israel its spiritual head .
According to Douglas Reed , this was the real conspiracy , a word used by the Khazar protagonists themselves .
In his books , Reed provides an assessment of most of the major events of the 20th century as being controlled or influenced by this revolutionary element .
And we can see today , in the early part of the 21st century , how the story continues .
This , then , may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the real worldwide conspiracy that is tearing America apart .
The world revolution sees America as its prize and its primary enemy .
For decades , American democracy has been the main obstacle that stands in its way .
Fox News and the rest of the right-wing media are actually conscious agents of the world revolution that are doing its dirty work in tearing American society to shreds .
I would like to list a few of the actions I believe have been taken by the world revolution in its project to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actions that show signs of having been planned or executed in a coordinated fashion by the international controllers .
Obviously , the list could be much longer , but these are highlights : • All major wars of the 20th and 21st centuries , including World War I and II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars .
( In this connection I would like to make note of the observation that Hitler was likely an agent of the world revolution through his connection with Soviet Communism which controlled him .
See Douglas Reed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ lost years ” and how he was viewed by his closest associates .
Hitler ’ s status as a communist agent explains Germany ’ s suicidal attack on the Soviet Union on June 22 , 1941 , which may have been the decisive geopolitical event of the 20th century . )
• Election of Woodrow Wilson as president of the U.S. in 1912 and passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 .
( Following this event , the world revolution gained control of the money supply . )
• Wall Street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and of Hitler ’ s Third Reich .
• Development of nuclear weapons and the passing of nuclear technology to the Soviet Union by moles within the U.S. and Great Britain .
• Roosevelt ’ s actions in giving away Eastern Europe to Stalin at Yalta in 1945 .
• Founding of the League of Nations and the United Nations as assaults on national sovereignty .
• U.S. recognition of Israel in 1948 and gradual subordination of American political interests to those of Israel since then .
• U.S. support of communism in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chinese nationalist government after World War II and continuing through Nixon and Kissinger ’ s “ Opening to China ” and the eventual outsourcing of massive numbers of U.S. industrial jobs to China over the next generation .
( The suicidal stripping of the U.S. industrial base has been one of the major attacks carried out by the world revolution against our country over the last half-century . )
• Takeover of the Republican Party , starting with the election of Eisenhower in 1952 , and its formation as a revolutionary party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nixon ’ s “ Southern strategy , ” the election of Reagan in 1980 , the first Iraq War under George H.W .
Bush , 9/11 and the wars following , and finally the election of Donald Trump in 2016 .
( This includes the creation of the Republican Tea Party as a major obstructionist force in U.S politics . )
• Interference of the Russian government in U.S. domestic politics via the Russian Mafia and control of Donald Trump .
( This is a result of the acquiescence by the U.S. in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Putin after the “ fall ” of the Soviet Union in 1991 . )
• Merger of the world revolution with organized crime , and control of gambling , prostitution , pornography , drugs , human trafficking , “ entertainment , ” and social media as an assault against the consciousness and integrity of the entire U.S. population .
( Trump himself is an organized crime boss . )
• Use of the internet to undermine elections and to promulgate ludicrous conspiracy theories such as “ Q ” , combined with the massive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Russia in the lead .
• Formation of the rightwing media as a bloc of influence , with Fox News in the vanguard .
( Fox News is a propaganda machine in support of the goals of dividing and radicalizing public opinion .
The Rupert Murdoch media empire is a radical front of the world revolution . )
• Subversion of the Christian church community , especially fundamentalists and evangelicals , through infiltration , bribery , and promotion of apocalyptic theories favoring Israel with the aim of promoting the world revolution ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do not intend for this list to be complete , but I do want to give readers something to think about .
I also want to make clear that this article is not an attack on Jewish ethnicity , on the Jewish religion , or on legitimate Jewish community interests .
And even though I have identified the Khazars of Russia as prime controllers in the world revolution , they are by no means the only party that has been involved or that has profited from it .
They have acted as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it and do so today .
But there have also been countless Jewish people within the U.S. and elsewhere , both Sephardic and Khazar , who have assimilated into our culture , have intermarried with other races , have been good citizens , have respect for other human beings , and have contributed much of value to our national life .
Meanwhile , as we dither , Donald Trump and his backers have launched the greatest attack on America in our history .
It was easier for us to send vast armies to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ East than it has been to get rid of the mole in the White House .
As all this happens , the conspirators are engineering a “ flight forward ” through a U.S. war against China , after which Russia and Israel will stand supreme .
Trump ’ s role has been to prepare the groundwork .
I ’ d even go further by venturing to say that we may be going through the time when the world revolution was already primed and ready to make its next “ big move.
” Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and , as he himself signaled at rallies , probably a third or more .
Yes , the trap was being prepared to snap shut .
If the release of Covid-19 was a false flag to soften up China , that move certainly backfired .
Does America have one last chance ?
We ’ ll see .

Of course, the revolutionists who target America couldn’t be happier.
First some history. In the run-up to World War I, the more astute European military analysts had begun to realize that the size and firepower of armies and navies would not be the decisive factors in modern warfare. These forces had grown to the point where millions of men could be deployed by either side. But in the exponential growth of technology and its ability to inflict death and destruction on the enemy, all the great powers were on approximately equal footing.
From a tactical standpoint, armed struggle would now be simply wars of attrition. Therefore, how long nations could hold out in the face of military stalemate would be more important than trying to achieve decisive battlefield victories.
Rather it would be socioeconomic factors, including civilian morale on the home front, and the ability of the population to sustain the war effort, that in the end would prove decisive. This brought into play such elements as financial infrastructure, the effectiveness of propaganda, and the health and resilience of workers, families, and soldiers held in reserve.
In 1898, Russian-Polish banker Ian Bloch wrote in Is War Now Impossible?, “The future of war is not fighting but famine, not the slaying of men but the bankruptcy of nations and the break-up of the whole social organization.” (Cited in War of Attrition: Fighting the First World War by William Philpott, p. 52.)
Increasingly during the recurrent wars of the 20th century, these “intangibles” came into play. Most recently, in the series of horrific wars launched by the 9/11 attacks, the ease by which a nation can be stampeded into military action was vividly illustrated. The domestic opposition to such wars, on the other hand, illustrates that a nation’s staying power cannot automatically be assumed. For this, new and constant provocations are needed.
Today the U.S. has by far the largest military on the planet. The declared doctrine of the U.S. armed forces of “full-spectrum dominance” has largely been achieved. Our warfighting capabilities are the most potent in world history, including our nuclear arsenal. The military gets money from Congress for anything it wants.
Constitutional declarations of war are not needed for the military to be deployed. The president says “jump,” and the generals and admirals say, “How high?” Behind the scenes intelligence apparatuses issue frightful pronouncements or concoct false flags at will.
Civilization has leapt forward in leaps and bounds! We now have a Space Force, though no one knows what it does. The Pentagon even controls how Hollywood is allowed to portray the war machine. If politically acceptable, we could take on any other nation or combination of nations anywhere on the planet, even at the cost of huge casualties, or, with full-scale nuclear war, planetary extinction.
Yet the U.S. as a nation grows weaker by the day. Why?
Partly at least, it’s because our social fabric is rent asunder by internal political divisions. Our gigantic consumer economy depends on a huge but shaky financial infrastructure that has never completely rebounded from the Great Recession of 2008-9.
Our population has been devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic that rages more aggressively even as a vaccine has begun to be rolled out that many say they will not submit to. And, in the aftermath of the most divisive election since the Civil War, a majority of the defeated voters who lined up behind presidential loser Donald Trump claim the election against him was rigged, while many openly to support a military coup to keep him in office.
Were a war with any other nation to arise, the U.S. would be a divided nation with serious non-military disadvantages. But I would like to argue that we are already in a war and that we are losing it. The main tactic being used by our adversaries is an attack on our socioeconomic health and readiness, combined with stirring up segments of our society to a fever pitch against each other. Fox News and its ilk have been assigned a leading role in this subversion, along with Twitter and other social media.
But who is the enemy in this war? Who is attacking us?
Much is alleged, particularly on the internet, about the presence of a worldwide “conspiracy” whose aim is to impose some kind of “world government” run by “global finance” or some similar entity.

U.S. recognition of Israel in 1948 and gradual subordination of American political interests to those of Israel since then. Assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy.

veteranstoday--2020-12-27--3 More Weeks of Lies Corruption and Powerlessness as Trump Flu Rampages on

Politicians who pushed herd immunity while secretly having available a 100 % cure from Britain , secret until yesterday , politicians who pushed the idea that COVID is a hoax , have been vaccinated .
Others at very high risk have not .
Why ?
Italy has already vaccinated its health care workers and France has already finished those in care homes .
The entire EU is vaccinating 450 million people publicly .
We are not .
What are we doing ?
The secrecy behind Trump ’ s mysterious vaccine distribution program has raised a level of brutal anger in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ craziest “ stop the steal ” moron can imagine .
The only reason for this kind of secrecy is that a secret list of very undeserving people are getting vaccinated , people like Ted Cruz , Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham , people who have worked day and night to kill Americans with their denialism and anti-science .
We deserve the right to know who is being vaccinated , how many , where , and how decisions are being made .
The information we are getting can ’ t be trusted as millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the handing of General Perna who claims he simply lost them .
A vaccinated Lindsey Graham , not high risk at all and certainly not someone important to this country , not at all , means something is very wrong .
Then there are the magic treatments that we now know come from a secret lab in Britain .
If US money had gone there instead of hydroxychloroquine , 250,000 of our dead would be with us today .
This is what saved Trump .
Yesterday , we learned where the magic treatments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump received , not $ 400,000 but they cost millions .
This cure , really a full vaccine with a 6 month life , may well be able to bring most of our dying back from the brink but it only yesterday the first 10 British patients got their first shots as part of the trial .
Powerful and corrupt American oligarchs and their toadies didn ’ t make the line…they went way ahead of the line .
The real treatment Trump and his friends got hasn ’ t hit anyone yet and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
How many were vaccinated yesterday ?
100,000 ?
A million ?
We were told 20 million would get their first shot in December , that ’ s 96 hours away but the NY Times says it is reported that less than a tenth that have been vaccinated and there are , in fact no real numbers out there .
Health departments are saying they have priorities .
Our daughter who is an ICU nurse in a COVID ward in Ohio got hers last week .
Another daughter who is part of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moving toward the highest risk patients .
Do note that there are only 5000 medical personnel providing direct treatment to COVID patients in Michigan yet there is no reporting of any vaccinations .
This is being done in the dark .
Did legislators and their families get vaccinated ?
Congressmen certainly did , long ago .
OK , hit the search engines , Google , Yandex.ru , DuckDuckGo .
Ask how many have been vaccinated .
BeforeItsNews reports that thousands are totally paralyzed .
What they did , however , was take the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 6 Americans had reactions and bump it up to over 3000 “ sore arm ” reports .
Let me tell you , you get the vaccine , you will have a sore arm , less than with a flu shot , but a sore arm , based on real reports from real people .
What you won ’ t find is a report saying a certain city or town received so many doses and that so many people were vaccinated based on a policy .
No such reports are available .
Are they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yes ) How many real hospital treatment personnel have been vaccinated ?
Why the secrecy ?
Who decided police get vaccinated before care home residents ?
There is only one answer .
People are being put at the front of the line that don ’ t belong there .
What do we know ?
Pfizer and Moderna have produced over 50 million doses of vaccine .
We know only a small percentage has been distributed .
Pfizer reports huge supplies sitting in their warehouse with massive production underway .
We know the Army @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Blue States in the Midwest and elsewhere .
They have apologized .
Thanks for that .
Resignation would be a start .
Investigation would help .
No investigation is underway .
Why ?
• None Daily reports on who is vaccinated , where and why

Where is Donald Trump?
…from the Senior Editor
Politicians who pushed herd immunity while secretly having available a 100% cure from Britain, secret until yesterday, politicians who pushed the idea that COVID is a hoax, have been vaccinated. Others at very high risk have not. Why?
Italy has already vaccinated its health care workers and France has already finished those in care homes. The entire EU is vaccinating 450 million people publicly. We are not. What are we doing? Nobody knows.
The secrecy behind Trump’s mysterious vaccine distribution program has raised a level of brutal anger in the US well beyond anything even the craziest “stop the steal” moron can imagine. The only reason for this kind of secrecy is that a secret list of very undeserving people are getting vaccinated, people like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham, people who have worked day and night to kill Americans with their denialism and anti-science.
We deserve the right to know who is being vaccinated, how many, where, and how decisions are being made.
The information we are getting can’t be trusted as millions of doses of vaccine have disappeared under the handling of General Perna who claims he simply lost them.
A vaccinated Lindsey Graham, not high risk at all and certainly not someone important to this country, not at all, means something is very wrong. Then there are the magic treatments that we now know come from a secret lab in Britain.
If US money had gone there instead of hydroxychloroquine, 250,000 of our dead would be with us today. This is what saved Trump.
Yesterday, we learned where the magic treatments come from that Giuliani, Carson and Trump received, not $400,000 but they cost millions. This cure, really a full vaccine with a 6 month life, may well be able to bring most of our dying back from the brink but it only yesterday the first 10 British patients got their first shots as part of the trial.
Powerful and corrupt American oligarchs and their toadies didn’t make the line…they went way ahead of the line. The real treatment Trump and his friends got hasn’t hit anyone yet and this was the story VT broke yesterday.
How many were vaccinated yesterday? 100,000? A million? We were told 20 million would get their first shot in December, that’s 96 hours away but the NY Times says it is reported that less than a tenth that have been vaccinated and there are, in fact no real numbers out there.
Health departments are saying they have priorities. Our daughter who is an ICU nurse in a COVID ward in Ohio got hers last week. Another daughter who is part of the distribution process in Michigan says nothing is moving toward the highest risk patients. Do note that there are only 5000 medical personnel providing direct treatment to COVID patients in Michigan yet there is no reporting of any vaccinations.
This is being done in the dark. Did legislators and their families get vaccinated? Congressmen certainly did, long ago.
OK, hit the search engines, Google, Yandex.ru, DuckDuckGo. Ask how many have been vaccinated. BeforeItsNews reports that thousands are totally paralyzed. What they did, however, was take the real number from December 18, that 6 Americans had reactions and bump it up to over 3000 “sore arm” reports. Let me tell you, you get the vaccine, you will have a sore arm, less than with a flu shot, but a sore arm, based on real reports from real people.
What you won’t find is a report saying a certain city or town received so many doses and that so many people were vaccinated based on a policy. No such reports are available.
Are they vaccinating police? Local administrators? (yes) How many real hospital treatment personnel have been vaccinated? Why the secrecy?
Who decided police get vaccinated before care home residents?
There is only one answer. People are being put at the front of the line that don’t belong there.
What do we know? Pfizer and Moderna have produced over 50 million doses of vaccine. We know only a small percentage has been distributed. Pfizer reports huge supplies sitting in their warehouse with massive production underway.
We know the Army has botched the distribution, shorting specific Blue States in the Midwest and elsewhere. They have apologized. Thanks for that. Resignation would be a start. Investigation would help.
No investigation is underway. Why?
What we expect?

First published December 28, 2020, Los Alamos Daily Post
– U.S. House Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement after House Democrats passed legislation to increase direct payments to U.S. taxpayers from $600 to $2,000.
The bill now advances to the Republican-controlled Senate. On Christmas Eve, House Republicans blocked a unanimous consent request to pass $2,000 economic impact payments, which President Trump has expressed support for.
“Since President Trump expressed his support for $2,000 checks last week, Democrats have acted twice to pass this measure. This is Congress’ last chance to provide robust relief to the American people before the end of the year, and it’s time for Senate Republicans to allow a vote and pass this bill.”

“For months, my Democratic colleagues and I have been advocating for bigger direct payments to Americans. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has callously resisted, denying struggling families a desperately needed lifeline during an unprecedented national emergency,” Luján said.

Iraq ’ s anti-terror group , Kata ’ ib Hezbollah , has called the last week ’ s rocket attack against the US embassy in Baghdad a false-flag strike and a plot hatched by Washington .
Muhammad Mohi , the spokesman for Kata ’ ib Hezbollah , which is part of the country ’ s Popular Mobilization Units ( PMU ) , made the comments in an interview with the Al Jazeera news broadcaster , saying Washington is the “ sole beneficiary ” of the so-called attack as it “ wants to increase pressure on Iraqi resistance groups.

Press TV
Iraq’s anti-terror group, Kata’ib Hezbollah, has called the last week’s rocket attack against the US embassy in Baghdad a false-flag strike and a plot hatched by Washington.
Muhammad Mohi, the spokesman for Kata’ib Hezbollah, which is part of the country’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), made the comments in an interview with the Al Jazeera news broadcaster, saying Washington is the “sole beneficiary” of the so-called attack as it “wants to increase pressure on Iraqi resistance groups.”
On December 20, a series of Katyusha rockets landed near the US embassy complex, which is inside Baghdad’s heavily-fortified Green Zone. The attack caused minor damage to buildings there.
Mohi said the pressure by the US comes as Iraqis are preparing to commemorate the first anniversary of the Trump-authorized assassination of Iran’s top anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of the PMU, in a US airstrike near Baghdad airport on January 3.
After the terrorist act, the Iraqi parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling for the expulsion of US forces from the Arab country.
Anti-American sentiments have run even higher in the past few days as Iraqis are outraged by the US president’s decision to pardon four war criminals. The Blackwater contractors had been jailed for killing of unarmed Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007.
Iraqi military says four rockets struck Baghdad’s Green Zone The Iraqi military says four rockets have targeted the Green Zone in the capital Baghdad.
The US embassy has been targeted several times this year amid heightened anti-American sentiments in Iraq in the aftermath of the assassinations of General Soleimani and al-Muhandis.
Washington claims it fears another attempt against its diplomatic missions and military bases in Iraq as the first anniversary of the martyrdom of the two popular anti-terror commanders nears.
“Washington fears demonstrations near its embassy or any kind of popular activities aimed at exposing the US role in Iraq, and this concern has prompted the American leaders to launch these (fake) strikes against their [own] embassy,” further said the spokesman of the Kata’ib Hezbollah group.
Mohi added that the outgoing Trump administration is trying to push Iran and the resistance groups to give “a reckless response” by exerting pressure and creating a crisis, “but we are aware of this plot.”
Iran rejects US blame game over rocket attack on embassy in Iraq Iran dismisses US President Trump’s accusations against Tehran regarding a recent rocket attack on the American embassy in Baghdad.
The targeting of the US embassy has already sparked a war of words between Washington and Tehran, with Trump blaming Iran for the attack and warning of retaliation if “one American is killed.”
In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif suggested that Trump’s remarks – which were made via Twitter – were reminiscent of the Bush administration’s accusations against Iraq, which led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

I simply can not wait to see how Biden and Netanyahu will square off on Iran in the next few years or so .
In fact , I ’ ll make sure that I have my pop corn and a glass of orange juice with me .
I simply don ’ t believe that Biden will disappoint on this issue .
Yes , Biden will almost certainly pay lip service to Netanyahu ’ s hoopla , but he certainly would consult his predecessors and ask for advice .

Keep in mind that Obama only has negative things to say about Netanyahu in his recent book .
As we reported at the beginning of this month , Obama actually took the mad man to the shredder .
He writes : “ Netanyahu could be charming , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his purposes .
He ’ d gone out of his way , for example , to meet me in a Chicago airport lounge shortly after I ’ d been elected to the U.S. Senate , lavishing praise on me for an inconsequential pro-Israel bill I ’ d supported in the Illinois state legislature .
But his vision of himself as the chief defender of the Jewish people against calamity allowed him to justify almost anything that would keep him in power—and his familiarity with American politics and media gave him confidence that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like mine might try to apply.
” So , what has Bibi up to these days ?
Well , he ’ s been roaming around and playing his old game and tricks .
“ We will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons , ” he has recently said .

And the book was published in 1995 .
It pains me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is pertinent to quote Netanyahu from his book , particularly for those who have never seen the statement .
Netanyahu declared in Fighting Terrorism : How Democracies Can Defeat Domestic and International Terrorists : “ The best estimate at this time place Iran between three and five years away from possessing the prerequisites required for the independent production of nuclear weapons .
After this time , the Iranian Islamic republic will have the ability to construct atomic weapons without the importation of materials or technology from abroad.
” [ 3 ] I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ realizes that this man is a pathological liar .
And I really hope that Biden picks up where Obama left off and tell this mad man in Tel Aviv that decent Americans and Muslims and Arabs have had enough of his nonsense .
This man is full of it .
“ We do not take lightly the threats made against us , nor do we shy away from them , ” [ 4 ] Netanyahu continued to say .
But what about the threats you made against other countries , Sir ?
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What about lying to your teeth about the war in Iraq , Sir ?

Regeneration: Studies of Reptiles May Lead to Human Applications
Studying how reptiles regenerate their limbs could have implications for developing regenerative therapies for people living with arthritis or other injuries. https://t.co/iJilLGfhMI — Smithsonian Magazine (@SmithsonianMag) December 28, 2020
Health Editor’s Note: Imagine being able to regrow an arm or leg that has been amputated. Reptiles and amphibians can do just that. While alligators can regenerate a ‘tail’ which does not have the muscles that the original tail had, this new appendage is good enough to help it to survive and avoid predators.
Interestingly enough, dinosaurs which were the ancestors of reptiles and birds, could generate new limbs, but when the two species lines separated hundreds of thousands years ago, only the reptile line maintain the regenerative ability.
We have always wanted humans to have the ability to regenerate lost body parts but alas the the human body is too complex to do this. Alligators are large reptiles and display the ability to regenerate which brings hope to finding a way for humans accomplish the same feat….Carol

NYP: Mr. President, it’s time to end this dark charade.
We’re one week away from an enormously important moment for the next four years of our country.
Unfortunately, you’re obsessed with the next day, Jan. 6, when Congress will, in a pro forma action, certify the Electoral College vote. You have tweeted that, as long as Republicans have “courage,” they can overturn the results and give you four more years in office.
In other words, you’re cheering for an undemocratic coup.
You had every right to investigate the election. But let’s be clear: Those efforts have found nothing. To take just two examples: Your campaign paid $3 million for a recount in two Wisconsin counties, and you lost by 87 more votes. Georgia did two recounts of the state, each time affirming Biden’s win. These ballots were counted by hand, which alone debunks the claims of a Venezuelan vote-manipulating Kraken conspiracy.
Sidney Powell is a crazy person. Michael Flynn suggesting martial law is tantamount to treason. It is shameful.
We understand, Mr. President, that you’re angry that you lost. But to continue down this road is ruinous. We offer this as a newspaper that endorsed you, that supported you: If you want to cement your influence, even set the stage for a future return, you must channel
Stop thinking about Jan. 6. Start thinking about Jan. 5.

Trump was terrible in so many ways that it ’ s hard to catalog them all : His sociopathic lack of regard for others .
His towering narcissism .
His utter ease with lying .
His cruelty and sadism .
The glee he took in cheating and stomping on anything good and decent .
His misogyny and racism .
His love of encouraging violence , only equaled by his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ repulsive character traits in a man so wholly lacking in any redeemable qualities , perhaps the most perplexing to his opponents was Trump ’ s incredible stupidity .
On one hand , it was maddening that a man so painfully dumb , a man who clearly could barely read — even on those rare occasions when he deigned to wear glasses — still had the low cunning necessary to take over the Republican Party and then the White House .
On the other hand , it was the one aspect of Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Surely a man so stupid , his opponents believed , will one day blunder so badly he can ’ t be saved , even by his most powerful sycophants .

Trump ’ s unparalleled idiocy gave us a few laughs along the way , which we sorely needed in those troubled times .
With that in mind , here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most jaw-droppingly stupid moments of Trump ’ s White House tenure .

The Donald Trump presidency ended , in a way , on Nov. 7 .
That was the day that media outlets called Pennsylvania , and thus the 2020 election , for Joe Biden .
It was also the day that Trump tweeted his campaign would be holding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Philadelphia , only to follow up with a clarifying tweet that he meant “ Four Seasons Landscaping , ” a business located on the outskirts of the city near an adult bookstore and a crematorium .
Yes , the campaign later claimed there was a reason why they booked this particular venue .
So , yes , we don ’ t know for sure that the campaign actually meant to hold its event , at which Rudy Giuliani made luridly dishonest and fantastical claims about voter fraud , at the Four Seasons @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unrelated landscaping company by mistake .
But we know .
…and now their incredible list… .

slam dunk proof, two great lists…
Salon, our first, did a good job but Slate hit one clearly “out of the park”
VT has resisted being overwhelmed by Trump’s idiocy and hasn’t as so many others had, decided to take the ‘zio-backhander’ and learn to praise the malevolent orange pissant…
