Big Lie: As Deep State celebrates 18th anniversary of Saudi funded 911 terror Pompeo demands US bomb Iran to avenge attack on Saudi oil



Big Lie:  As Deep State celebrates 18th anniversary of Saudi funded 911 terror Pompeo demands US bomb Iran to avenge attack on Saudi oil

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”  ~ Joseph Goebbels

"Faith is something you believe that nobody in his right mind would believe" ~ Archie Bunker

The 18th anniversary of the “big lie” that allowed the Zionist regime to overthrow the American government and launch the New World Order has passed.   Who blew up World Trade Center and the Pentagon ~ nineteen guys with box cutters or the CIA/Mossad/MI6 cabal?  Once again the CIA controlled media have advanced the Big Lie that a rag tag bunch of terrorists outmaneuvered the greatest intelligence operation ever assembled and blew up the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. 

We are to believe that “some people” who took flying lessons in Florida and Minnesota were able to overcome the flight crews on commercial aircrafts and turn the planes around and aim them at the World Trade Center and Pentagon and use them as missiles to blow up a couple the most protected structures in America with no response from the air traffic controllers.  The ridiculousness of this scenario which was presented as fact by the American government requires a huge leap of faith.  But then again, as Archie Bunker said “Faith is something you believe that nobody in his right mind would believe.”  From Veterans Today:

Recovered From Russian Servers: 2010, 9/11 and the Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft without Training

There are some who maintain that the mythical 9/11 hijackers, although proven to be too incompetent to fly a little Cessna 172, had acquired the impressive skills that enabled them to fly airliners by training in flight simulators…

A common misconception non-pilots have about simulators is how “easy” it is to operate them. They are indeed relatively easy to operate if the objective is to make a few lazy turns and frolic about in the “open sky”. But if the intent is to execute any kind of a maneuver with even the least bit of precision, the task immediately becomes quite daunting.

And if the aim is to navigate to a specific geographic location hundreds of miles away while flying at over 500 MPH, 30,000 feet above the ground the challenges become virtually impossible for an untrained pilot.  And this, precisely, is what the four hijacker pilots who could not fly a Cessna around an airport by themselves are alleged to have accomplished in multi-ton, high-speed commercial jets on 9/11…

In order to operate a modern flight simulator with any level of skill, one has to not only be a decent pilot to begin with, but also a skilled instrument-rated one to boot — and be thoroughly familiar with the actual aircraft type the simulator represents, since the cockpit layouts vary between aircraft…

In the case of a Boeing 757 or 767, the pilot would be faced with an EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrumentation System) panel comprised of six large multi-mode LCDs interspersed with clusters of assorted “hard” instruments. These displays process the raw aircraft system and flight data into an integrated picture of the aircraft situation, position and progress, not only in horizontal and vertical dimensions, but also with regard to time and speed as well.

When flying “blind”, I.e., with no ground reference cues, it takes a highly skilled pilot to interpret, and then apply, this data intelligently. If one cannot translate this information quickly, precisely and accurately (and it takes an instrument-rated pilot to do so), one would have ZERO SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. I.e., the pilot wouldn’t have a clue where s/he was in relation to the earth. Flight under such conditions is referred to as “IFR”, or Instrument Flight Rules…

Let me place this in the context of the 9/11 hijacker-pilots. These men were repeatedly deemed incompetent to solo a simple Cessna-172 — an elementary exercise that involves flying this little trainer once around the patch on a sunny day. A student’s first solo flight involves a simple circuit: take-off, followed by four gentle left turns ending with a landing back on the runway. This is as basic as flying can possibly get.

Not one of the hijackers was deemed fit to perform this most elementary exercise by himself.  In fact, here’s what their flight instructors had to say about the aptitude of these budding aviators:

Mohammed Atta: “His attention span was zero.”

Khalid Al-Mihdhar: “We didn’t kick him out, but he didn’t live up to our standards.”

Marwan Al-Shehhi: “He was dropped because of his limited English and incompetence at the controls.”

Salem Al-Hazmi: “We advised him to quit after two lessons.”

Hani Hanjour: “His English was horrible, and his mechanical skills were even worse. It was like he had hardly even ever driven a car. I’m still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all.”

Now let’s take a look at American Airlines Flight 77. Passenger/hijacker Hani Hanjour presumably rises from his seat midway through the flight, viciously fights his way into the cockpit with his cohorts, overpowers Captain Charles F. Burlingame and First Officer David Charlebois, and somehow manages to toss them out of the cockpit (for starters, very difficult to achieve in a cramped environment without inadvertently impacting the yoke and thereby disengaging the autopilot).

One would correctly presume that this would present considerable difficulties to a little chap with a box cutter—Burlingame was a tough, burly, ex-Vietnam F4 fighter jock who had flown over 100 combat missions. Every pilot who knows him says that rather than politely hand over the controls, Burlingame would have instantly rolled the plane on its back so that Hanjour would have broken his neck when he hit the floor. But let’s ignore this almost natural reaction expected of a fighter pilot and proceed with this charade…

Imagine that Hanjour overpowers the flight deck crew, removes them from the cockpit and takes his position in the captain’s seat…  If Hanjour looked straight ahead through the windshield, or off to his left at the ground, at best he would see, 35,000 feet — 7 miles — below him, a murky brownish-grey-green landscape, virtually devoid of any significant surface detail, while the aircraft he was now piloting was moving along, almost imperceptibly and in eerie silence, at around 500 MPH (about 750 feet every second).

In a real-world scenario, with this kind of “situational NON-awareness”, Hanjour might as well have been flying over Argentina, Russia, or Japan—he wouldn’t have had a clue as to where, precisely, he was.

After a few seconds (at 750 ft/sec), Hanjour would figure out there’s little point in looking outside—there’s nothing there to give him any real visual cues. For a man who had previously wrestled with little Cessnas, following freeways and railroad tracks (and always in the comforting presence of an instructor), this would have been a strange, eerily unsettling environment indeed…

He would then have to very quickly interpret his heading, ground track, altitude, and airspeed information on the displays before he could even figure out where in the world he was, much less where the Pentagon was located in relation to his position.

After all, before he can crash into a target, he has to first find the target.

It is very difficult to explain this scenario, of an utter lack of ground reference, to non-pilots; but let it suffice to say that for these incompetent hijacker non-pilots to even consider grappling with such a daunting task would have been utterly overwhelming. They wouldn’t have known where to begin.

But, for the sake of discussion let’s stretch things beyond all plausibility and say that Hanjour—whose flight instructor claimed “couldn’t fly at all”—somehow managed to figure out their exact position on the American landscape in relation to their intended target as they traversed the earth at a speed five times faster than they had ever flown by themselves before.

Once he had determined exactly where he was, he would need to figure out where the Pentagon was located in relation to his rapidly-changing position. He would then need to plot a course to his target (one he cannot see with his eyes—remember, our ace is flying solely on instruments)…

If one is to believe the official story, all of this was supposedly accomplished by raw student pilots while flying blind at 500 MPH over unfamiliar (and practically invisible) terrain, using complex methodologies and employing sophisticated instruments…

To get around this little problem, the official storyline suggests these men manually flew their aircraft to their respective targets (NB: This still wouldn’t relieve them of the burden of navigation). But let’s assume Hanjour disengaged the autopilot and auto-throttle and hand-flew the aircraft to its intended—and invisible—target on instruments alone until such time as he could get a visual fix.

This would have necessitated him to fly back across West Virginia and Virginia to Washington DC. (This portion of Flight 77’s flight path cannot be corroborated by any radar evidence that exists, because the aircraft is said to have suddenly disappeared from radar screens over Ohio.) 

According to FAA radar controllers, “Flight 77” then suddenly pops up over Washington DC and executes an incredibly precise diving turn at a rate of 360 degrees/minute while descending at 3,500 ft/min, at the end of which “Hanjour” allegedly levels out at ground level. Oh, I almost forgot: He also had the presence of mind to turn off the transponder in the middle of this incredibly difficult maneuver (one of his instructors later commented the hapless fellow couldn’t have spelt the word if his life depended on it).

The maneuver was in fact so precisely executed that the air traffic controllers at Dulles refused to believe the blip on their screen was a commercial airliner. Danielle O’Brian, one of the air traffic controllers at Dulles who reported seeing the aircraft at 9:25 said, “The speed, the maneuverability, the way that he turned, we all thought in the radar room, all of us experienced air traffic controllers, that that was a military plane.”

 And then, all of a sudden we have magic. Voila! Hanjour finds the Pentagon sitting squarely in his sights right before him.

But even that wasn’t good enough for this fanatic Muslim kamikaze pilot. You see, he found that his “missile” was heading towards one of the most densely populated wings of the Pentagon—and one occupied by top military brass, including the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld.

Presumably in order to save these men’s lives, he then executes a sweeping 270-degree turn and approaches the building from the opposite direction and aligns himself with the only wing of the Pentagon that was virtually uninhabited due to extensive renovations that were underway (there were some 120 civilians construction workers in that wing who were killed; their work included blast-proofing the outside wall of that wing)…

Let it suffice to say that it is physically impossible to fly a 200,000-lb airliner 20 feet above the ground at 400 MPH…

The writers of the official storyline expect us to believe, that once the flight deck crews had been overpowered, and the hijackers “took control” of the various aircraft, their intended targets suddenly popped up in their windshields as they would have in some arcade game, and all that these fellows would have had to do was simply aim their airplanes at the buildings and fly into them.

Most people who have been exposed only to the official storyline have never been on the flight deck of an airliner at altitude and looked at the outside world; if they had, they’d realize the absurdity of this kind of reasoning.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.”  How true, and having a CIA controlled media helps to maintain the “Big Lie” and all its “political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.” 

The lie persists today and so do all its consequences.  Seven wars have been started as a consequence of the “Big Lie.” In an ironic turn of events, the CIA/MI6 and Mossad have “become” (and I use the term “become” loosely) the biggest recruiters of terrorists providing financial and logistical support under the guise of the “war on terrorism. (Who can forget the fleet of brand new Toyota SUV’s provided to ISIS in Syria)  From Global Research:




Excerpt:

The Mystery of ISIS’ Toyota Army Solved

The US Treasury has recently opened an inquiry about the so-called “Islamic State’s” (ISIS/ISIL) use of large numbers of brand-new Toyota trucks. The issue has arisen in the wake of Russia’s air operations over Syria and growing global suspicion that the US itself has played a key role in arming, funding, and intentionally perpetuating the terrorist army across Syria and Iraq.  ABC News in their article, “US Officials Ask How ISIS Got So Many Toyota Trucks,” reports:

U.S. counter-terror officials have asked Toyota, the world’s second largest auto maker, to help them determine how ISIS has managed to acquire the large number of Toyota pick-up trucks and SUVs seen prominently in the terror group’s propaganda videos in Iraq, Syria and Libya, ABC News has learned.  

Toyota says it does not know how ISIS obtained the vehicles and is “supporting” the inquiry led by the Terror Financing unit of the Treasury Department — part of a broad U.S. effort to prevent Western-made goods from ending up in the hands of the terror group.  The report went on to cite Iraqi Ambassador to the US, Lukman Faily:

“This is a question we’ve been asking our neighbors,” Faily said. “How could these brand new trucks… these four wheel drives, hundreds of them — where are they coming from?”  Not surprisingly, it appears the US Treasury is asking the wrong party. Instead of Toyota, the US Treasury’s inquiry should have started next door at the US State Department.

Mystery Solved

Just last year it was reported that the US State Department had been sending in fleets of specifically Toyota-brand trucks into Syria to whom they claimed was the “Free Syrian Army.”  US foundation-funded Public Radio International (PRI) reported in a 2014 article titled, “This one Toyota pickup truck is at the top of the shopping list for the Free Syrian Army — and the Taliban,” that:

The U.S. Government Supplied ISIS’ Iconic Pickup Trucks

Recently, when the US State Department resumed sending non-lethal aid to Syrian rebels, the delivery list included 43 Toyota trucks.  Hiluxes were on the Free Syrian Army’s wish list. Oubai Shahbander, a Washington-based advisor to the Syrian National Coalition, is a fan of the truck.

“Specific equipment like the Toyota Hiluxes are what we refer to as force enablers for the moderate opposition forces on the ground,” he adds. Shahbander says the US-supplied pickups will be delivering troops and supplies into battle. Some of the fleet will even become battlefield weapons..

The British government has also admittedly supplied a number of vehicles to terrorists fighting inside of Syria. The British Independent’s 2013 article titled, “Revealed: What the West has given Syria’s rebels,” reported that (emphasis added):

So far the UK has sent around £8m of “non-lethal” aid, according to official papers seen by The Independent, comprising five 4×4 vehicles with ballistic protection; 20 sets of body armour; four trucks (three 25 tonne, one 20 tonne); six 4×4 SUVs; five non-armoured pick-ups; one recovery vehicle; four fork-lifts; three advanced “resilience kits” for region hubs, designed to rescue people in emergencies; 130 solar powered batteries; around 400 radios; water purification and rubbish collection kits; laptops; VSATs (small satellite systems for data communications) and printers.

It’s fair to say that whatever pipeline the US State Department and the British government used to supply terrorists in Syria with these trucks was likely used to send additional vehicles before and after these reports were made public.

The mystery of how hundreds of identical, brand-new ISIS-owned Toyota trucks have made it into Syria is solved. Not only has the US and British government admitted in the past to supplying them, their military forces and intelligence agencies ply the borders of Turkey, Jordan, and even Iraq where these fleets of trucks must have surely passed on their way to Syria – even if other regional actors supplied them.

While previous admissions to supplying the vehicles implicates the West directly, that nothing resembling interdiction operations have been set up along any of these borders implicates the West as complicit with other parties also supplying vehicles to terrorists inside of Syria.

What Mystery?

Of course, much of this is not new information. So the question remains – why is the US Treasury just now carrying on with this transparent charade? Perhaps those in Washington believe that if the US government is the one asking this obvious question of how ISIS has managed to field such an impressive mechanized army in the middle of the Syrian desert, no one will suspect they had a role in it.

Of course, the trucks didn’t materialize in Syria. They originated outside of Syria and were brought in, and in great numbers, with the explicit knowledge and/or direct complicity of the US and its regional allies. ASKING TOYOTA WHERE THE US STATE DEPARTMENT’S OWN TRUCKS CAME FROM IS ANOTHER INDICATION OF JUST HOW LOST US FOREIGN POLICY, LEGITIMACY, AND CREDIBILITY HAS BECOME.

Russia’s intervention, and what should become a widely supported anti-terror coalition must keep in mind the criminality of the US and its partners when choosing its own partners in efforts to restore security and order across the Middle East and North Africa.

Ahh, yes it’s the proverbial chicken and the egg question, what came first?  Was it the 911 attacks that resulted in the US/MI6/Mossad support of terrorists or was the US/MI6/Mossad recruiting and supporting the terrorists who perpetrated the 911 attacks?  That is the question that the media should be asking, but alas “fat chance” for the media’s job is to “repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”  From David Stockman at Lew Rockwell:

Locked and Loaded on Behalf of Empire First

American democracy and capitalist prosperity are dying on the vine of Empire. And this weekend’s drone attack on the largest oil processing facility on the planet is a graphic case of why. So is the related picture below.



The scene is of Yemenis burying a busload of children who were obliterated by American-made bombs delivered by American-made Saudi aircraft, which were being navigated to target by US command and control assets. 

This particular cruel foray was just one of thousands of sorties launched by the Saudis since 2015, which have resulted in upwards of 100,000 civilian deaths in northern Yemen and the virtual destruction of its economy – meaning horrific outbreaks of starvation, cholera and other diseases have become commonplace.

The cost to the Yemenis in misery and human life is incalculable. Nor can the stain of these genocidal attacks on America’s moral stature be gainsaid. Yet Washington’s collaboration in this mayhem is not based on even a smidgen of national interest or homeland security.

To the contrary, the Houthi who took control of Yemen’s capital (Sana’a) and who dominate the population of northern Yemen, are a second cousin practitioner of the Shiite confession of Islam. Accordingly, they are aligned with the Shiite regime of Iran and have received modest aid and weapons from Tehran in support of their struggle for independence from the Saudi-supported government in exile and its alignment with a motley array of Sunni-jihadist, Muslim Brotherhood and other anti-Shiite factions in southern Yemen.

Of course, given the fact that Yemen was divided into two countries – North and South Yemen – for nearly three decades between the early 1960s and early 1990s, it’s obvious that no war, bloodshed or devastation is needed at all to solve the religious and ethnic enmities of that godforsaken armpit of the world. All that’s needed is re-partition.

It’s simple. Two countries. No war. No misery. No genocide.

And, in fact, back in 2015 Washington could have told the new Saudi King (Salman) in no uncertain terms to accept partition or “no tickie, no washie”. That is, don’t you dare use a single American supplied aircraft or bomb to carry out war against the Houthi of North Yemen – or we will cut off resupply of spare-parts and technical support to the Saudi military’s advanced American-made weaponry.  And without the latter, of course, Switzerland would soon become the new abode of the monarchy.

But Washington’s neocons were having none of letting the world go its own way and staying out of other people’s quarrels.  To the contrary, the neocons on Capitol Hill and in the national security bureaucracy were dead-set on war with Iran’s current regime, and saw an attack on the Houthi as a way to administer a bloody-nose to Tehran; and one which could be performed with no muss or fuss by nominal Saudi proxies.

At the time, Obama was on the verge of his single greatest foreign policy achievement in the form of the Nuke Deal with Iran, but Barry was a weak double-talker when push-came-to-shove.  So he failed to step in forcefully and deter the Saudis from their own folly, thereby throwing a bone to the Netanyahu fifth column in Washington who were otherwise dead-set against the deal, and even invited Bibi to give a speech to a joint session of Congress that was an hideous affront to the American president.

So the Saudis were manipulated into massive but wholly unnecessary military attacks on their southern neighbor. In effect, they became unwitting mercenaries – handmaids of Empire – because it suited Washington’s purposes.  Someday they may actually learn that Washington’s “friendship” is a many edged sword. But in the end it’s based on mobilizing “allies” to buy its weapons and to march into conflicts which keep America’s Warfare State in fiscal clover.

In the big picture context, therefore, Empire Firsters have managed to get Washington squarely in the middle of a 1300 year-old Shiite/Sunni conflict – one that is now being waged in the clash between Saudi Arabia and Iran.  But that conflict has no bearing whatsoever on Homeland security: America has never had, does not have now, nor ever will have a dog in that hunt.

The Sunni/Shiite religious schism is their business to fight out, as it has been since 632AD…

But Washington does not have a snowballs’ chance in the hot place of being any more successful at regime change in Persia, than it has been in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia etc. And more importantly, Iran with a tiny $15 billion defense budget and $450 billion GDP has never threatened the American Homeland and has zero capacity to do so anyway.

But that has not stopped the Washington/Netanyahu War Party. We’d bet dollars-to-donuts that when the Saudis were green lighted back in 2015 to proceed with their Yemen adventure that they did not remotely contemplate that the Nuke Deal would be shit-canned by a new administration and that it would proceed to launch all-out economic war against its rival on the other side of the Persian Gulf.

Stated differently, we don’t think Riyadh anticipated the arrival of Donald Trump in the Oval Office or, more importantly, that he would be surrounded by the deplorable retinue of Bibi retainers and neocon acolytes who falsely persuaded the ill-educated New York real estate mogul gambler that Obama’s Nuke Deal was the worst foreign policy agreement in recorded history.

It wasn’t. It was actually a clever diplomatic scam of sorts in which the Iranians agreed to give up a nuclear weapons program, which both the CIA and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) agreed was disbanded way back in 2003, in return for the release of several tens of billions of long ago sequestered funds, which was their own money in the first place.

It also submitted itself to a draconian inspection regime. The latter was with respect to a drastically scaled-back uranium enrichment program to produce civilian reactor fuel at 3.5% purity (vs. 90% bomb grade), which it is entitled to have as a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty along with several dozen other countries.

More importantly, it paved the way for the return of Iran to unhindered global commerce and the maximization of its great hydrocarbon resource for the benefit of its long-suffering people. So doing, the nuke deal paved the way for Iran’s moderate leadership under President Hassan Rouhani and its capable and American educated foreign minister, Javad Zarif, to steer Iran along a path that might have defused the three decade long confrontation with Washington.

But it was not to be because the Washington neocons were not about to give up the “enemy” state that keeps them in business, and Bibi Netanyahu was not about to give up the “existential enemy” that keeps his motley coalition of settler parties and ultra-orthodox religious factions together and ensures his tenure in office.

Instead, under the vile leadership of the late John Bolton we now have the nastiest economic warfare campaign that has ever been launched by Washington. It includes browbeating virtually every country and every significant company in the world not to buy Iranian oil or transact most other forms of business – upon threat of secondary sanctions and exclusion from the U.S. controlled SWIFT global payments system…

Needless to say, the fools advising the Donald have now backed Iran into an impossible corner. They must strike back – as they apparently did through their Houthi proxies this weekend – or see their country virtually destroyed, and for what?

 The answer is not that they violated either the letter or the spirit of the Nuke Deal – because they did not.

No, they are on the receiving end of Washington economic warfare machine solely because Bibi and the neocons do not like Iran’s foreign policy and its legitimate alliances with Shiite-oriented governments and parties in Iraq, Syria and Hezbollah/Lebanon; and because the Warfare State has made Iran its designated enemy and bogeyman needed to keep its massive defense budgets flowing.

So we can imagine the Saudis surprise and/or chagrin. By going after the Houthi they have ended up putting virtually 100% of the economic resources and wealth on which the Kingdom depends in harms’ way (and jeopardizing Aramco’s pending IPO needed to liquefy it), and for reasons that are far afield from their own national security (they could readily coexist with Iran and have done so through most of modern history)

Whether they acknowledge it or not, the War Party has made the Kingdom hostage to it own demented ambitions.

Yet that’s how the Empire rolls. The Persian Gulf is on the verge of an apocalyptic eruption that is absolutely not in the interest of any producer – Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar – that borders on its waters. But events may now overtake sanity because the one person who could reel in the impending catastrophe is busy tweeting proof that he is dangerously ignorant of the issues and stakes involved:

President Trump warned on Sunday that the US was “locked and loaded,” and prepared to strike when America and Saudi Arabia identified who was responsible.  “There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter. “But are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!”

On Monday, Mr. Trump tweeted a reminder of Iran’s behavior when it shot down a US drone in June, a strike that led the US to prepare a military strike against Iran. Mr. Trump called off the strike after having second thoughts.

“Remember when Iran shot down a drone, saying knowingly that it was in their ‘airspace’ when, in fact, it was nowhere close,” he said. “They stuck strongly to that story knowing that it was a very big lie. Now they say they had nothing to do with the attack on Saudi Arabia. We’ll see?”

No, POTUS, the real culprit is the War Party that has utterly mis-educated you on the Nuke Deal, the phony threat Iran allegedly poses to Homeland security and the impossible corner into which you have backed the government in Tehran.

You came to Washington to house-clean the Swamp and to put America First at the center of the nation’s failed foreign policy. What you are in danger of accomplishing is enabling the Empire Firsters to ignite a conflagration in the Persian Gulf that could bring the entire world economy to its knees.

And, by the way, ensure that you leave office in January 2021 with a likely berth in a place not nearly as commodious as Trump Tower.

President Trump is surrounded by agents of the CIA/MI6/Mossad whose sole purpose is to wage World War III for Empire and a one world order.  The problem is that Saudi Arabia is on a fool’s mission.  They believe they are protected by the American military industrial complex’s expensive “missile shield” boondoggle.  From Finian Cunningham at Strategic Culture:

Excerpt:

Yemeni Killer Blow to House of Saud

The Yemeni rebels’ drone blitz on the “nerve center” of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry was a devastating counter-offensive which potentially could end the four-year war in short order. What is even more catastrophic for the Saudi monarchy – especially the ambitious Crown Prince – is that the Houthi rebels have wielded the ultimate power to crash the kingdom’s oil economy.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) was the main architect of the disastrous Saudi war on Yemen. His military hard-man display was meant to consolidate his rise to power as heir to the Saudi throne. It was a calculation based on the blood of the Yemeni people. But now the war has gone from a callous game to a far-more dangerous threat to the House of Saud’s seat of power. If the Saudi oil economy is put at severe risk, then the lifeline for the monarchy is liable to be cut.

After last weekend’s spectacular air strike on the main oil processing plant in Saudi Arabia – northeast of the capital Riyadh, some 1,000 kms from Yemen – the Houthi military leadership is warning that more deeply-penetrating aerial attacks are on the way. The Yemeni rebels have demonstrated that nowhere in Saudi Arabia is safe.

Saudi air defenses and their multi-billion-dollar US Patriot anti-missile systems have been rendered useless against an-ever increasing arsenal of more sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operated out of Yemen. UN experts reckon that the Houthis’ UAV-X drone has a range of up to 1,500 kms, which means that all of the Saudi oil infrastructure located in the Eastern Province near the Persian Gulf is a viable target.

Last weekend’s air strikes carried out with 10 drones, according to the Houthis, caused Saudi oil output to shut down by nearly half. The main target – the Abqaiq refinery – processes some 70 per cent of all Saudi crude destined for export. It is not clear when the processing plant can be restored to normal function. It may take weeks or even months. But if the Yemeni rebels can inflict that extent of damage in one air raid, it is not hard to foresee how the Saudi oil-dependent economy could conceivably be brought to a crippling standstill.

“The only option for the Saudi government is to stop attacking us,” said a Houthi military spokesman following the drone strikes. The rebels also warned foreign workers in Saudi Arabia associated with the country’s oil industry to vacate.

The Yemenis have a gun to the House of Saud’s head. It must give the rebels great satisfaction to finally have the Saudi monarchy in their cross-hairs after four years of Yemen suffering relentless aerial bombardment and siege by the US-backed Saudi military.

The Saudi-led war on its southern neighbor – the poorest country in the Arab region – was always an outrageous aggression under the guise of supporting the return of a corrupt crony who had been ousted by the Yemenis in early 2015. Up to 100,000 people have been killed – most of them from the indiscriminate bombing campaign by Saudi (and Emirati) warplanes supplied and armed by the US, Britain and France. Millions face starvation in what the UN calls the worst humanitarian crisis for many years.

The Saudi rulers, Western governments and media have tried to obscure the genocidal war on Yemen as a “proxy war” involving Iran, as if Tehran is the instigator of subverting Saudi Arabia from the south. Iran backs the Houthis politically, and perhaps also militarily more recently, but any involvement by Tehran is a reaction to the initial Western-backed Saudi aggression against Yemen.

Claims by US and Saudi officials that Iran is responsible for the latest air strikes on Saudi Arabia’s vital oil industry are more of the same obfuscation. Such muddying of the waters is an attempt to distract from the central point that the Houthis are retaliating with the legitimate right of self-defense after years of merciless slaughter inflicted on their people by the Western-backed Saudi coalition.

There’s another urgent reason for why the Saudi rulers and the US are trying to blame Iran for the latest drone attacks on the Saudi oil industry. If admitted that the air raids were carried out primarily by the Houthis – perhaps even with Iranian drone technology – then that admission points to the complete vulnerability of the Saudi oil economy and the very power structure of the monarchial rulers.

A hint of the trepidation being felt in Riyadh are reports that the latest air strikes have rattled stock markets for Saudi petrochemical companies. WORSE, IT IS ALSO REPORTED THAT THE ATTACKS MAY DELAY THE PLANNED STOCK MARKET LISTING OF SAUDI ARAMCO, THE STATE-OWNED OIL COMPANY. Worse still, the valuation of the company may be slashed due to the perceived risk from further Yemeni air strikes.

The planned Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Aramco – whereby the Saudi state is SELLING A PORTION OF THE COMPANY TO PRIVATE INVESTORS – has been one of the most talked about events in recent years among international business. The IPO which is due to be launched next year has been called THE “BIGGEST-EVER” STOCK MARKET SELL-OFF…

After the Houthis’ devastating air attacks on the Saudi oil heartland – the crown jewels of the kingdom – potential investors are now reportedly looking warily at the future risk of Aramco. Valuation of the company in the aftermath of the Yemeni drone strikes has been slashed by some estimates to $300 billion – that’s down by 85 per cent from the previous aspired-for $2,000 billion…

It must be alarming to the young Saudi potentate that US President Donald Trump has begun to play down any retaliation against Iran, saying that he doesn’t want to be drawn into a war.  That means the Saudi monarchs are on their own and at the mercy of the Houthis and what they do next. The downfall of the scheming Crown Prince evokes a Shakespearian drama of treachery.

Bingo, the reason “media whores” like Lindsay Graham are demanding Trump blow up Iran is because their Zionist financial backers are demanding it.  Before the smoke was cleared Graham, Pompeo and the entire Zionist CIA/MI6/Mossad backed cabal blamed Iran, with absolutely no evidence what so ever.  From Tom Luongo:

Questions, Not Answers Surround U.S. Push to War with Iran

When President Trump fired National Security Adviser John Bolton last week rational people the world over cheered.  When there was news that Trump would meet on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly with Iran’s President Rouhani in a few weeks there were sighs of relief.  When Benjamin Netanyahu goes to Moscow to get Vladimir Putin’s blessing to continue airstrikes in Syria and was told no, the world said, “Finally! Enough is enough.”

The problem is that there were also very powerful people who were not happy about these things.  Moreover, there are a lot of nervous people out there worried that Tuesday’s election in Israel will not go the way they want it.  A lot of people have invested a lot of time and money in ensuring Netanyahu stays in power. And I don’t just mean Bibi himself, who will likely go to jail on corruption charges if he doesn’t win.

I mean a lot of people in the U.S., Saudi Arabia, the U.K. and in Europe, all of the places where anti-Russian, anti-Iranian and pro-Israeli sentiments abound.  And this brings up the main question I always have in the wake of one of these major escalations of tensions with the country currently catching the Twin Eyes of Sauron in D.C. and Tel Aviv.

Why do they always seem to occur right after moments of de-escalation and there’s the threat of peace breaking out somewhere?  Why is it that every time President Trump tries to push the U.S. and the world away from war within a few days there’s an incident which pushes us right back to the brink of it?

Trump visits Kim Jong-un in North Korea, making history, there are attacks on UAE oil tankers. Trump refuses to attack Iran over them shooting down a Global Hawk drone in Iranian airspace escorted by a fully-crewed Poseiden P-8.  Britain seizes the Grace 1 oil tanker. Israel attacks Shi’ite Militia targets outside of Baghdad.

Go back to President Trump’s first, and biggest, geopolitical blunder in April 2017. The Syrian Army wins a major battle and is on the verge of victory, and a chemical weapons attack happens deep in Al-Qaeda controlled territory blamed on the SAA.  Trump then launches 57 tomahawks at the Al-Shairat airbase.

Trump declares we’re pulling out of Syria, Israel openly bombs targets deep in Syria. His staff, including John Bolton, freak out and walk it back.  

The Houthis send a couple of drones at an Aramco facility far beyond their known capabilities and the UAE pulls out of the Saudi coalition in Yemen.  

MOSCOW HAS HAD ITS FILL OF NETANYAHU. He’s openly mocking Trump at international forums, first offering to sell the U.S. Russia’s hypersonic missiles at the G-20 and then offering to sell S-400 missile defense systems to the Saudis to protect their people from outside actors.  All with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, but like with all good comedy a core of undeniable truth.

Things look bad for the alliance between the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia, when your opponents are laughing at you openly. In that moment Putin exposed that the emperor truly was standing naked in front of the world.

And yet, after all of these coincidences I’m supposed to believe, without evidence again, that Iran would jeopardize its future at the very moment when everything is beginning to break their way and the U.S. maximum pressure campaign is failing?

The very fact that we have been shown zero proof of what happened more than 48 hours after the event which has every neocon in the U.S. clamoring for war is your biggest tell that there is something very off about this incident.

EVEN PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN’T BELIEVE THIS as he is taking the same tack rhetorically now that he did after the U.S. Global Hawk drone was shot down.

We’ve gone from:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!

“I don’t want to have war with anybody” but our military is prepared, Trump says at the White House, where he was meeting with Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. Furthermore, the president said the US is not looking at retaliatory options until he has “definitive proof” that Iran was responsible for attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities.

Still, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that the US “is prepared” if the attacks warrant a response.  Also notably, when asked if he has promised to protect the Saudis, the president responded “No, I haven’t promised the Saudis that… We have to sit down with the Saudis and work something out.”

Moreover, the stunning lack of support from Europe and the rest of the world makes it incredibly suspect that the story that we’ve been told to date, just like with the Global Hawk drone, is anything close to the real one.  I guess we’re not even trying to get Europe on our side to form ‘coalitions of the willing’ anymore.  And it seems Trump may believe that as well.  

In the end, as always, we should be asking the most salient question surrounding this attack.  Cui Bono? (Who Benefits?)  Because it certainly isn’t Iran.  But we know who. The bombs had barely hit their targets when AIPAC’s favorite son, Lindsay Graham, was out in full throat for war. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told the world Iran was behind 100 strikes of this kind.

NOT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE. And Trump’s first response was to subordinate U.S. troops sworn to uphold the Constitution and defend the U.S. to the terrorist-funding, repressive regime in Saudi Arabia to do what, exactly?

The Saudis needs $80+ per barrel oil.  The U.S. frackers need $60+ and zero-bound interest rates to keep the red ink flowing just slow enough to get yield-starved pension funds to bite on the next round of unpayable loans.

Israel needs a strong alliance and U.S. presence in the Middle East lest it have to act like a normal country by respecting its borders and making nice with its neighbors now that it has been exposed as one of the chief architects and supporters of the project to turn Syria into a failed state run by Takfiri crazies and anyone else no one wants in their back yard.

But the biggest question of all in this is simple. HOW DUMB DO THESE PEOPLE THINK WE ARE?  We can read licence plates from space but we can’t tell where a swarm of missiles that his one of the most strategically important piece of real estate in the entire world came from?  Seriously?

Whenever a major incident like this happens there’s always this ridiculous fog of war over what happened to obfuscate reality and blame the current enemy of the empire.  The truth is that the Houthis could have pulled this off with help from Iran and there’s little to stop it from happening again and again. They proved their point a few weeks ago.

The Saudis have lost in Yemen. They are now losing a helluva lot more than that.  Iran is serious about taking everyone’s ability to sell oil off the table if they are denied.  Why should anyone be surprised that the Houthis want to cripple Saudi Arabia for its disastrous war and Iran wouldn’t want to assist them in doing so?  Moreover, why isn’t their response justified given the blatant aggression against both?

When is someone in D.C. going to finally realize there is no winning play with Iran anymore except peace?

The neocon Zionist, America hating cabal that has taken over Washington uses the American military and our troops like pawns on a chessboard.  As Tom Luongo points out, Trump’s first response was to subordinate U.S. troops sworn to uphold the Constitution and defend the U.S. to the terrorist-funding, repressive regime in Saudi Arabia to do what, exactly?

How do our military members feel about having their lives sacrificed for the oil profits of a country that funded the 911 terror attacks on America?  From Military Times:

Veterans doubt value of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan in new poll

Most veterans believe the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were not worth fighting, and a majority also view U.S. military efforts in Syria as too costly in dollars and casualties, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center released Wednesday.

In a survey of nearly 1,300 veterans conducted in May and June, 64 percent of those surveyed said the war in Iraq was not worth fighting, as opposed to just 33 percent who said the security benefits outweighed the sacrifices.  For Afghanistan, 58 percent of veterans said that fight was not worthwhile, versus 38 percent who believed it was. Results from both questions closely track with the opinions of the American public at large.

Trump: Pentagon leaders want to keep troops in Afghanistan

The commander in chief said he wants to end the 19-year-old war, but also worries that may allow terrorist groups to attack the United States.

More veterans also had a negative view of U.S. involvement in Syria (55 percent) than a positive view (42 percent). Pew Research officials said the rate of support for each of the conflicts did not change significantly for veterans’ different eras of service, military rank or combat exposure.  More than 4,500 U.S. service members have died in Iraq since the start of combat there in 2003, and more than 2,400 have been killed in the nearly 18-year-old fighting in Afghanistan…

A Military Times survey of active-duty troops conducted last fall found that about 45 percent worry that the United States will be drawn into another major military conflict soon. But more than half of that group saw Iraq and Afghanistan as little to no threat to American national security today.

Among the veterans polled by Pew Research officials, more approved of Trump’s dealings with North Korea (60 percent) and Russia (54 percent) than oppose his recent outreach.

And Trump also received strong support for his tough talk with NATO allies, whom he has accused of not contributing enough resources to global anti-terrorism and security efforts. More than half (54 percent) said they approve of his handling of those traditional American alliances.

Yes 45 percent of active-duty troops are worried that the US will be drawn into another “major conflict” in addition to the ones that they already feel are “not worth it.”  They have good reason to worry, especially since the neocons want Trump to hand over decisions of war and peace to the “terrorist-funding, repressive regime in Saudi Arabia.”   In the recent debate of the “Deep State approved” Democratic Presidential Candidates not one of them expressed any concern over these wars based on lies.  None of them have any concern over risking more American lives in wars for the CIA/MI6/Mossad lies.  

The only candidate that has concerns over turning the American military over to the Saudi regime is Tulsi Gabbard, who was not allowed on the stage for the debates.  Gabbard has been blacklisted by the CIA controlled media.  After all, as Goebbels said “. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”  From Veterans Today:

Excerpt:

Tulsi Gabbard to Trump: We are not your “prostitutes”

Regardless of your political views, you should all agree with Gabbard that Trump is acting like Saudi Arabia’s “bitch…”  

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has recently grabbed Donald Trump by the balls and told him something that he was obviously not expecting. “My fellow service members and I, we are not your prostitutes,” Gabbard said in response to Trump’s huffing and puffing about more wars in the Middle East for Saudi Arabia and Israel. “You are not our pimp.”

The congresswoman was just getting started. She moved on to say:

“Mr. President, as you know, I have never engaged in hateful rhetoric against you or your family and I never will. But your offering our military assets to the dictator of Saudi Arabia to use as he sees fit is a betrayal of my brothers and sisters in uniform who are ready to give our lives for our country…”

Gabbard continued: “Offering to place our military assets under the command of a foreign country—Saudi Arabia—is a disgrace and betrayal of my patriotic brothers and sisters in uniform and to our Constitution… Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters. Having our country act as Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”

As I have argued in the past, it is somewhat premature to formulate a complete opinion on Gabbard, but she has said the right thing so far. In fact, her record is far better than numerous presidents, both past and present.

As we have documented in the past, Gabbard is an Iraq war veteran, and she knew what happened to her fellow soldiers who died for Israel, the Neocon war machine, and the military industrial complex. She also seems to be aware that the war in Iraq alone will cost American taxpayers at least six trillion dollars.  She is almost certainly aware of the fact that at least “360,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans may have suffered brain injuries.”

Gabbard is smart enough to realize that the Neocon path leads to death, chaos, and destruction. She knows that virtually nothing good has come out of the Israeli narrative in the Middle East—a narrative which has brought America on the brink of collapse in the Middle East. Therefore, she is asking for a U-turn.

The first step for change, she says, is to “stand up against powerful politicians from both parties” who take their orders from the Neocons and war machine. These people don’t care about you, me, the average American, the people in the Middle East, or the American economy for that matter. They only care about fulfilling a diabolical ideology in the Middle East and much of the world.

These people ought to stop once and for all. Regardless of your political views, you should all agree with Gabbard that Trump is acting like Saudi Arabia’s “bitch.”

Yes, the 18th anniversary of the “big lie” that allowed the Zionist regime to overthrow the American government and launch the New World Order has passed.   Who blew up World Trade Center and the Pentagon ~ nineteen guys with box cutters or the CIA/Mossad/MI6 cabal?  18 years after the 911 attacks on America, the terrorists behind the attacks now control the levers of power in America.  The only hope for America and the world lies with the American people.  Are they up to the task?  Will they take off their blinders and take back their country?

President Donald Trump campaigned on a platform of populism and ending useless wars based on the lies concocted in the bowels of the State Department and Pentagon by the CIA/Mossad and MI6.  Trump has been at war with these neocons that have infested his Administration. 

In the Democratic field of candidates for president, with the exception of Tulsi Gabbard, there is no opposition to the CIA/MI6/Mossad agenda, and Tulsi is not allowed into the spotlight.  Trump is the only force keeping America out of World War III and as things look now, he will be reelected. 

In order for the world to move on and embrace a world of peace and prosperity the question must be answered “Who blew up World Trade Center and the Pentagon ~ nineteen guys with box cutters or the CIA/Mossad/MI6 cabal?”  The Big Lie must be put to rest and the perpetrators of these crimes against humanity must be brought to justice. 

The question is can Trump do it?  If he does he will have the support of the American people and the world.   It’s time the American people realize that the official explanation of how 911 happened is something that “nobody in their right mind would believe.”
