Once again our media fails us [View all]

when covering this Iran fiasco. They dutifully ask members of the fascist government for justifications for the attacks but then sit like lap dogs and take down and report the shifting justifications. To be sure a few do point out the shifting of justifications however none of them are apparently stiff enough in the spine or agile enough in the brain to react in real time with the most obvious contradiction to the statements by the fascists.

The fascists have said variations of: "It's about the nukes", "It's about regime change", "It's about the missile program", "It's about not being attacked because Israel was going to attack anyway", "They tried to kill the President" etc.

So the media on the scene, and even later, never seem to have the brains, or spine, to say "But your targeting has been civilian infrastructure like water and electricity, apartments, hospitals and schools. What does that have to do with the missile program, nukes, regime change etc.?" or "What proof do you have of an Iranian attempt to assassinate our President beyond vague unsubstantiated claims from Netanyahu?"

Imagine that somebody in the media hears that the claims of the notorious liar and war criminal were used as a justification for our war of aggression but never responds in the moment about the lack of reliability about anything Netanyahu says.

Trying to convince me that blowing up an elementary girls school in a remote area and causing massive casualties has some preventative connection regarding missiles, nukes or assassination attempts is plain BS on it's face but apparently to most media it is something they are told and need a long time to think about.

Likewise going after the water and electricity. Apparently Western media is perfectly willing to accept the notion that the hospitals were somehow connected to the missiles and nukes and therefore need to be bombed.

So the war crimes go on. As in Gaza they want to do the same to Iran. The US and Israel want to see Gaza and the West Bank be part of Israel. They want parts, if not more, of Lebanon, Syria and Iraq to be dominated.

Go back and take a look at the original "partition plan" that was approved and how the US strong-armed and bullied UN members to accept what many predicted as a plan destined for constant conflict and failure and we can see the strategy of purposely creating a situation in which weapons trade would make trillions over the years and the US would be able to "justify" a constant presence.

Splitting the area in such a way as to always have threatened "corridors" between areas is something that would probably seem rational to most of the people working in Western media today. Like bombing a girls school and killing children, bombing hospitals and killing the sick and already wounded etc. in order to stop "nukes".

The only "liberation" planned for Iran involves oil and billions "liberated' into the pockets of evil fascists.
