Facebook Tyrant
I saw a post about remembering the US shoot down of the Iranian airliner (Iran Air Flight
655) in 1988, and Facebook had a flag warning that it was “fake news” MOUTHPIECE OF
Pentagon
Facebook is a protector and preserver of the propaganda classifying IR Iran as a dangerous
terrorist organization. But FB knows well, that USA is the biggest terrorist country in the
world. USA invades other countries just to own their natural resources and to place them in
the hands of American corporations. Facebook doesn’t call that terrorism. They call it
democracy. Leave FB
FB is marking this as “partly false information, checked by independent fact checkers” and
then linking to some Spanish language fact checking site named “Observador” which ranks
the post at the upper end of their “deceiver” scale based on the site’s analysis asserting that

the US in reality apologised, while ignoring the fact that all military personnel involved were
decorated for their actions in taking down the plane.
The site, by the way, contains almost no information
about where it is bases, how it is funded, or other
information which relates to its own credibility.
Conclusion: Partly false
The information in this post is a mix of true and false statements or it could simply be
incomplete. In some cases, the information is misleading.
Saudi Arabia Pays the US $500 Million to Host Their Troops
Rebecca Rebarich, Pentagon spokeswoman, expressed that the payment was
“the first contribution” in a burden-sharing partnership between the both
countries to support regional security.
Saudi Arabia paid Washington a sum of US$500 million last month to cover part of the cost
of United States troops stationed in the kingdom as bilateral talks over defense expenses
continue, a Pentagon spokeswoman Commander Rebecca Rebarich told Middle East Eye
Friday.

Trump’s Iran ‘Punching Bag’: US Provocations to Continue Iran knows it is
Trump’s foreign policy punching bag. It has been since Trump came to office.
More blows against Iran are yet to come in this election year.
Trump’s assassination of Iran’s general and senior diplomat, Soleimani, was a clear
provocation by the U.S., designed to produce a further escalated military response by Iran.
That did not happen. Iran did not take the bait. It responded minimally and appears to have
done so in a way to avoid US deaths or even major U.S. asset
destruction. https://www.telesurenglish.net/opinion/Trumps-Iran-Punching-Bag-US-

Iran Warns against Politicization of Ukrainian Plane Incident TEHRAN (FNA)-
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Seyed Abbas Mousavi reminded the government of
Canada that Tehran has been fully cooperative with all affected countries whose nationals
have lost their lives during the plane incident of January 8, and called on Ottawa to avoid
politicizing the incident.
“This is strange that the Canadian FM, only a day after doing initial measures and besides
Iran’s full cooperation, reads such a statement and asks for a consular access, which was
agreed upon and delivered accordingly by Iran on the first day of the incident due to human
aspects of the issue,” Mousavi said on Friday, after the London meeting of officials from 5
countries whose citizens died in an unintentional downing of Ukrainian flight in the

Southwestern outskirt of
Tehran. https://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13981027000384
It’s a true reflection of how the Western so-called civilized, so-called democratic world pulls
the knives out when Iran defends itself, whereas for example, when the US shot down an
Iranian passenger plane in 1988 the so-called civilized, so-called democratic world did not
say sorry. President Bush said he would never apologize for anything the Us did, whether it
was right or wrong.
NYT Hypocrisy: Bashing Nonbelligerent Iran, Supporting US Aggression
by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org — Home — Stephen Lendman)
The Times never met a US war of aggression, or one planned, against an invented enemy it
didn’t wholeheartedly endorse and cheerlead.
Nor did it ever stand up for the sovereign rights of nonbelligerent states on the US target list
for regime change, vilifying them instead, providing press agent services for US imperial
interests.
Throughout its near-41 year history, the Times demonized the nonbelligerent Islamic
Republic of Iran, a nation championing peace and stability, threatening no
one. https://stephenlendman.org/2020/01/nyt-hypocrisy-bashing-nonbelligerent-iran-

Trump Calls for New Iran Nuclear Deal that Renders the Country
Defenceless Last week, Trump called for a new Iran nuclear deal, claiming:
“(W)e must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a
safer and more peaceful place (sic).”
That’s precisely the JCPOA’s aim — even though the world community knows Iran’s nuclear
program has no military component, never did, abhors nukes, wants them eliminated
everywhere, and banned their development internally.
It’s well know that the Islamic Republic never attacked another country, threatening none
except in self-defense if attacked, its legitimate right under international law.
The way to “make the world a safer and more peaceful place” is for the US to end its forever
wars on one country after another.https://www.globalresearch.ca/trump-calls-new-iran-

Nuclear Weapons: Trump Regime Pressured E3 Countries (UK, France,
Germany) to Trigger JCPOA Dispute Mechanism Post-WW II, Washington
transformed Western European countries into virtual US colonies — their presence status.

Judge them by their actions. Time and again, they subordinate their sovereign rights to US
interests, even when harming their own.
It shows by imposing unlawful sanctions on Russia and other nations on the US target list
for regime change, harming their economies from reduced trade, along with violating
international law.
Since the Trump regime’s illegal May 2018 withdrawal from the JCPOA nuclear
deal, European countries followed the US lead by breaching their mandated
obligations. https://www.globalresearch.ca/trump-regime-pressured-e3-trigger-jcpoa-

KEY ARCHITECT OF 2003 IRAQ WAR IS NOW A KEY ARCHITECT OF TRUMP
IRAN POLICY
January 16 2020, 4:23 p.m.
DAVID WURMSER WAS a longtime advocate of war with Iraq in the Bush
administration. Eventually, he got what he wanted, and it was a total disaster. Now,
Wurmser again has the ear of a president — this time, Donald Trump — and his sights are
set firmly on Iran.
An influential neoconservative in President George W. Bush’s White House who became a
significant force behind the push for war with Iraq in 2003, Wurmser has recently been
serving as an informal adviser to the Trump administration, according to
new reporting from Bloomberg News. In that capacity, Wurmser helped make the case for
the recent drone strike that assassinated Iranian Gen. Qassim
Suleimani. https://theintercept.com/2020/01/16/david-wurmser-iran-suleimani-iraq-

How a Hidden Parliamentary Session Revealed Trump’s True Motives in Iraq
The U.S. is adamant that its assassination of Qassem Soleimani and refusal to leave Iraq is
about protecting Americans, but a little known Iraqi parliamentary session reveals how
China increasingly strong ties to Baghdad may be shaping America’s new Mideast
strategy. by Whitney Webb Since the U.S. killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and
Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis earlier this month, the official narrative has
held that their deaths were necessary to prevent a vague, yet allegedly imminent, threat of
violence towards Americans, though President Trump has since claimed whether or not
Soleimani or his Iraqi allies posed an imminent threat “doesn’t really
matter.” https://www.mintpressnews.com/hidden-parliamentary-session-revealed-trump-

Lost Country: Aboriginal Flags Have Begun Flying At Half Mast Around Australia
By Chris Graham on January 17, 2020Aboriginal Affairs
An Aboriginal woman from Victoria is hoping that First Nations people and
organisations around the nation will join her university in flying Indigenous
flags at half mast, to acknowledge the grief Aboriginal people are feeling at the
destruction of Country from Australia’s ongoing bushfire crisis.
Associate Professor Gabrielle Fletcher is a Gundungurra woman from the Blue Mountains of
New South Wales. She’s also a Professor in Indigenous Studies and the Director of the
Institute for Koorie Education at Deakin University in
Melbourne. https://newmatilda.com/2020/01/17/for-country-lost-aboriginal-flags-have-

erokNg01K6h9ra1YpDXN8Q2qhW6zsVa8
Chris Graham January 17, 2020 “Aboriginal and non-Indigenous Australians all understand
that by lowering a flag we acknowledge that something has died or that something is dying.
It is a symbol of mourning. There are so many people who are feeling anguish.”
Assoc Prof Fletcher said the scale of the loss felt by First Nations people was enormous, and
it wasn’t just restricted to the land and its animals.
“Country moves beyond landscape, allotment, vista or wildlife as stand-alone components.
It is also place, Ancestors, shadows, mist, warble, maps and vapour,” she said.
“When Aboriginal People lose Country to this scale we lose Knowledge, Ways, Forms, Spirit
and Healing — these are a complex interconnection, where everything has its place to teach,
feel, show and speak.
“With each loss we slip further away from understanding who we are, and how we fit — this
is the ultimate death in many respects.”

Assoc Prof Fletcher acknowledged there were some positives to come out of the fire crisis,
beyond waking people up to the realities our nation faces.
“People are starting to recognise and acknowledge the validity and value of Indigenous
Knowledges, and ways of knowing, being and doing. It’s been an uncomfortable discovery
for some.”

It would appear the big and powerful United States is no longer a country based on the rule
of law. I suspect this happened as a result of being taken over by the wealth and power of the
talmud zionists. Thus, the zio-american empire will probably follow the path of all earlier
military empires, and that will be a good thing. I suspect the human problems found in any
big empire are based on size and on the sociopaths who take over and control the theft and
murder of humans. In my review of history, I’ve not seen any small empires. Small is …

I think the killing was ordered and planned by Mossad, for Netanyahu and his troubles. I
think Pompeo was picked for Trump by the Mossad/Likud because these evangelicals are so
easily managed and manipulated. Iraq, Syria, Libya had to go because they were secular:
Religiosity, race, fundamentalism, moral superiority is the wheelhouse of Israel/Saudi
Arabia. Besides the Iraq diplomat, did they not murder 7 other people who were with the
group? Or bystanders? I like those numbers; who was Iraqi, who was Iran, ages, sex, and

in the south and center of the country, to protest against the presence of foreign forces in the
country and to demand a new government to be formed.
Friday’s demonstrations have witnessed new slogans against the United States, while
attacking certain parties in power, accusing them of working for foreigners and betting on

citizens from both sides of al-Karkh and Al-Rusafa.

Imagine, the so-called world leader invites you to a foreign country to help mediate between
different factions, you accept, and when you arrive at the airport, he kills you. Then he
smiles and boasts in utter satisfaction that he has given the order to kill — kill by remote
control, by drone. Much worse than extra-judiciary murder, because there was never any
accusation launched against you — except for lies.

I have been rather unwell this last week with atrial fibrillation, and at 5am last Sunday
morning had the paramedics out and puzzling over the ECG results. This particularly severe
episode was a result of being out in the cold and storm for hours on the AUOB march, and I
felt so guilty at being a self-inflicted drain on the NHS that I declined their offer to take me
into hospital and decided to recover at home.
I did however get to thinking about whether, had I indeed toddled off on my next great
adventure, I would regret holding information which I had not imparted to you. Well, I
couldn’t in those circumstances regret not having imparted it as I would be deid, but you
know what I mean. As it happened the thing I found I was most worried about not being
able to impart was not, at least on its surface, a case of world sweeping importance, but
rather of individual injustice. Though the surface often hides a great

USA Vs Iran: Six Decades of American Lies, Deceit and War Crimes By Irwin, Jerome
The war drums of a World War III in 2020 continue to beat louder and louder since
President Trump’s illegal assassination of Iran’s General Qasem Soleimani in Tehran. The
escalation of each new day’s recklessly-outrageous pronouncements by Trump and his
political allies, that speak out for the imminent need to remove the present government in
Iran, feels more and more like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in
1914, while each new increasingly more aggressive threat made against Iran’s current
government feels more and more like the threats the Austrian Hungarian government once
made against Serbia that finally lite the fatal fuse of another earlier century’s Armageddon.
The international conflict that in 1914–18 embroiled most of the world’s nations, and led to
unprecedented slaughter, carnage and destruction once again feels as if it could happen only
disastrously more so.
But where are the outcries by the world’s leaders for an immediate International Criminal
Court war crime investigation of President Trump’s blatant violation of international law
committed in the willful murder of the official of another government that the current War
Powers Act of the United States authorizes the President to take such war-threatening
actions.

The Donald Trump administration is ramping up its information war against Venezuela,
Iran, and Syria. And it has enlisted social media platforms as weapons in its assault on these
top regime-change targets.
In the first two weeks of January, Twitter suspended dozens of accounts run by real, live
people — not bots — in Venezuela, Iran, and Syria. Those erased from the website included
heads of state, numerous state institutions, media outlets, and many average people who do
not work for their governments.
The supreme leader of Iran, president of Syria, and leader of Venezuela’s National Assembly
have all had their Twitter accounts temporarily suspended or restricted in recent days.

After US Killing of Iran’s Soleimani, Narrative Control on Social Media is
Getting Worse Twitter has been on a narrative-control rampage, removing or censoring
legitimate accounts that are critical of US-led wars, propaganda and lies. Facebook and
Instagram have increased their Big Brother policing, too.
Attempts by American-based social media behemoths to silence or censor voices critical of

the establishment-approved narrative is nothing new, but this trend seems to have
intensified lately.
Just in the past several days, following the criminal US assassination of Iranian General
Qassem Soleimani, Instagram and Facebook have been removing posts supportive of
Soleimani, even profile photos honouring the general, allegedly to comply with US
sanctions, a truly absurd explanation for the narrative control.
On January 7, it was reported that Twitter had suspended numerous Venezuelan accounts,
including those of the central bank, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, public media,
political leaders, the Finance & Oil
ministries. http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2020/january/18/after-

The making of the Executioner-in-Chief: US drone warfare from Obama to Trump
We’re only a few days into the new decade and it’s somehow already a bigger dumpster fire
than the last. On January 2nd, President Trump decided to order what one expert called
“the most important decapitation strike America has ever launched.” This one took out not
some nameless terrorist in a distant land or a group of civilians who happened to get in the
way, but Major General Qasem Soleimani, the leader of Iran’s elite Quds Force and the
mastermind of its military operations across the Middle
East. https://mondoweiss.net/2020/01/the-making-of-the-executioner-in-chief-us-drone-

Ex-US intel officer: Pompeo ‘lying through his teeth’ on Iran
The Trump administration is imposing new sanctions on Iran and defying Iraq’s call for a
US troop withdrawal. This comes as the stated rationale for the US assassination of Qasem
Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is being undermined by its top officials’ own
statements. Scott Ritter, a former Marine Corps intelligence officer, analyzes the increased
White House coercion efforts and collapsing intelligence claims. Guest: Scott Ritter —

Excellent! H/T Padraic O’Dwyer “Marandi explained to hosts Brian Becker and John
Kiriakou that it’s not only the Iranian government who considers the killing of Soleimani to
be an act of war, but Baghdad as well. “The Iraqis consider this to be an act of war because
the United States also murdered Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the … Popular
Mobilization Forces that spearheaded the fight against [Daesh] in Iraq,” he said, adding that
al-Muhandis and Soleimani “were the ones who saved Iraq from [Daesh].” “The United
States has been acting with impunity in Iraq from day one of occupation,” Marandi asserted.
However, the US’ recent strikes against Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces that resulted in
the deaths of at least 25 fighters and injured dozens, were particularly sinister, the academic
noted.
He highlighted that not only did the strikes take place on the frontlines of the battle against
the Daesh on the Iraqi-Syrian border, but the area targeted was hundreds of kilometers
away from the nearest US base in the region. “They did that … to weaken the fight against
[Daesh] because the Americans would like to see [Daesh] regain the border between Iraq
and Syria, so that Syria would not be able to trade with Iraq,” Marandi argued. “The
Americans ignore the sovereignty of Iraq; they ignore [Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi];
they ignore the will of the Iraqi people; they murder the heroes of the war against [Daesh];
and they wonder why they are so widely despised across the region.”
He went on to say that Washington has gotten to a point where they believe their own
propaganda and continue to perpetuate the idea that there is nothing but hatred between
Iranians and Iraqis. “The Western media does not show the huge crowds in Iraqi cities that
are protesting against this US act of aggression,” Marandi said, speaking of the strike which
killed Soleimani and al-Muhandis. “The Western media propagates a narrative, then they
believe their own narrative, and then they make calculations based on that false narrative,”
Marandi noted, saying the US is confronted with repeated setbacks “because their
calculations are based on illusions.”
In keeping with this trend of Washington damaging its own goals, “the murder of General
Soleimani … served to unite the Iranian population against the United States,” according to
Marandi. “And the murder of [Soleimani and al-Muhandis] served to turn the bulk of the
Iraqi population against the United States, and it outraged those 400,000 armed forces that
led the fight against [Daesh] in Iraq.” US Military ‘Despised Across the Region’ as

War: Qatar assists Iran in buying 36 fighter jets J-10C from China The
government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has concluded plans to use $1.5 of $3 billion
allocated to it by Qatar to purchase 36 Chinese Chengdu J-10C fighters as tensions heighten
in the Middle East.
The J-10C are said to be cheaper and more promising than the Russian MiG-35 fighters the
country was reportedly interested in buying.

“The Emir (head of state) of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani arrived in Iran and
met with the country’s president Rouhani in Tehran.
“Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani offered Iran $3 billion in financial assistance on behalf of
Qatar for compensating the families of the victims who were killed in Iran. However,
according to a report from the Reuters news agency, Iran plans to use $1–1.5 billion as
compensation to the victims’ families, and the remaining funds will be used to purchase new
weaponry and equipment. https://dailypost.ng/2020/01/16/war-qatar-assists-iran-in-

PHD RESEARCH “Regardless of who is trying to fool whom in the bloody drawn-out saga in
Libya, it can be said with confidence that the biggest dupe so far has been Erdogan. He is
being lured with eyes wide open into a trap deliberately set by Haftar’s sponsors. The reason
for this, in the words of one former aide, is that he only listens to people who tell him what
he wants to hear. This is a dangerous flaw, not only for Turkey but the entire region.
Erdogan’s big problem is that he has few friends left in the Mediterranean basin, whether on
its Arab or European shores. His only allies are the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar and Sarraj’s
government in Libya, which beseeched him for military assistance. The Turkish president
faces a sea of enemies, including major global or regional powers, plus mounting Israeli-
backed American economic pressure aimed at bringing him to his knees.
So how does Turkey — admittedly a powerful country power in its own right that should not
be underestimated — deal with this predicament? One clue was provided by Erdogan’s
advisor Yasin Aktay in an article in the pro-AKP newspaper Yani Safak. He called for a
rapprochement between Turkey andEgypt, arguing that the two countries have more reason
to co-operate than quarrel, and suggesting the current crisis could serve as an opportunity to
mend Turkish-Egyptian-Libyan relations. The article, which may have been inspired by
Erdogan himself, signals a sharp break with previous thinking. It implies that Turkey
realises it is in a fix and needs to undertake a comprehensive policy rethink, in line with the
pragmatism Erdogan has demonstrated amply in other comparable cases.
Another sign of new thinking was the first publicly-acknowledged meeting, held in Moscow
a few days ago, between the second most powerful men in Turkey and Syria, security chiefs
Hakan Fidan and Ali Mamlouk. They were brought together by President Vladimir Putin to
discuss Idlib and northern Syria. The reporting of this meeting breaks new ground for both
sides, especially in terms of Turkish pride. Ankara used to refuse to admit to holding secret
high-level security meetings with
Damascus.” http://thealtworld.com/abdel_bari_atwan/turkey-and-the-libyan-

Ron Chandler The Sarraj gang of thieves and jihadis is NOT recognised by the Libyan
people, in the form of the Great Tribes of Libya for whom General Haftar, whatever his CIA
background may be, is fighting. The Libyan National Army is the army of the Libyan people.
Sarraj’s murderous scum are NATO-backed adventurers. Why else would ErDog the NWO’s
useful idiot, be backing them> This lot have stolen tons of Libya’s gold, right out of the
Central Bank in Tripoli. The UN that recognises such swine are puppets of America and of
the Mulsim Brotherhood, that Erdogan claims to lead. Hafter would be a fool to agree to the
entirely stupid ceasefire, when his loyal troops are within sight of victory.
Who the hell are Altworld, anyway? Why would ErDog’s enemies be luring him into Libya?

That could only be the same UN cabal that ran the war on Libya’s people in the first place.
They do not want a trap: they just want victory, and peace.
By scuppering the cease-fire talks, Erdogan’s enemies are luring him into a war he needs to

NORTHEAST SYRIA U.S. and Russian forces made several similar contacts in northeast
Syria in the last few months. Despite the lack of sufficient coordination, no accidents have
been reported yet.
Earlier this week, a Russian convoy arrived in the city of Qamishli, to the northeast of Tell
Tamr. The large convoy transported troops, weapons and equipment, which reinforced a
Russian base near the city.
Russian forces were deployed in northeast Syria last October following a Turkish-led attack
on U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in the region. These forces, mainly from the Russian Military
Police, are now implementing a Russian-Turkish de-escalation agreement.

Is Mohammed bin Zayed a Bad Influence on U.S. Foreign Policy? UAE Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Zayed — popularly known as M.B.Z. — is less well known than his
infamous Saudi counterpart Mohammed bin Salman, but he may end up having far more
influence on the future of the Middle East. The question is, how will he use that influence,
and are his preferred policies ultimately in the interests of either the United States or the
people of the region?
Robert Worth’s cover story for this week’s New York Times Magazine, “Mohammed bin
Zayed’s Dark Vision of the Middle East’s Future,” offers some of the raw material needed to
answer the question posed above. The piece assesses M.B.Z.’s strengths and weaknesses,
and summarizes his plans for exerting power in the region. The key passage is as

Earlier in the day, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, while leading Friday
prayers in Tehran for the first time since 2012, noted that the assassination of
top IRGC General Qasem Soleimani revealed the “terrorist nature” of the US,
and also observed that Trump is a “clown”.
US President Donald Trump responded in a series of tweets to Khamenei’s speech, claiming
that the Iranian economy “is crashing, and their people are suffering”, while urging the top
leader to “be very careful with his words!”.

The US president described the Iranian Supreme Leader as “not so Supreme”,
characterizing the sections of Khamenei’s Friday speech that dealt with the

Syrians Sold in Six Years: Coroner’s Office Director-General of the Syria Coroner’s

since 2011 to take out the body organs of 15,000 Syrians and sell them in the international

He pointed to the high prices of human body organs in the black markets, and said, “A
kidney is sold $10,000 in Turkey while the same kidney is sold for $1,000 in Iraq, but in
Lebanon and Syria the price of each kidney is $3,000.”

This is the face of the ISIS sex slave market KHANKE, Iraq — The advertisement on
the Telegram app is as chilling as it is incongruous: A girl for sale is “Virgin. Beautiful. 12
years old…. Her price has reached $12,500 and she will be sold soon.”
The posting in Arabic appeared on an encrypted conversation along with ads for kittens,
weapons and tactical gear. It was shared with the Associated Press by an activist with the
minority Yazidi community, whose women and children are being held as sex slaves by the
extremists.
While the Islamic State group is losing territory in its self-styled caliphate, it is tightening its
grip on the estimated 3,000 women and girls held as sex slaves. In a fusion of ancient
barbaric practices and modern technology, IS sells the women like chattel on smartphone
apps and shares databases that contain their photographs and the names of their “owners”
to prevent their escape through IS checkpoints. The fighters are assassinating smugglers
who rescue the captives, just as funds to buy the women out of slavery are drying
up. https://nypost.com/2016/07/05/this-is-the-face-of-the-isis-sex-slave-market/

In the case of Petraeus’s surge against Sadrist forces in Sadr City and Najaf in 2007 and
2008, Sadr was the least Iranian-loyal of all the major Shi’ite factions. The U.S.’s favorites
from Dawa and SCIRI were also Iran’s favorites. Sadr wanted the U.S. and Iran both out. (At

a couple of points the U.S. chased Sadr into Iran, but that was a self-fulfilling blunder, not

ADL lies about me so as to shut down discussion of Israel’s role in Soleimani killing The
ADL has lumped me and Max Blumenthal and Jeff Morley in with rightwing antisemites
because we said that Trump killed Qasem Soleimani out of concern for Israel’s interest. The
ADL classifies us as the “anti-Zionist left,” but it associates us with nationalist Jew-hating
rhetoric that has undoubtedly made Jews less safe in the United States. And the ADL
specifically scores me for speaking of the number of Zionist Jews that Trump has in his
administration.
I confess that this kind of attack hurts. I grew up in a very Jewish household that had a lot of
respect for the ADL; and I carry a portion of that respect to this day for the ADL’s efforts
fighting bigotry. When people hurl the antisemitism charge at me, as they often have, it
doesn’t just bounce off lightly. I think of the former friends who have accused me, including
my former editor who said I am being “used” by Palestinians against Jews, and of my own
family members, one of whom called my work “vile,” while the others ignore it and have

“Iran Must Begin Acting Like A Normal Nation,” Says Totally Normal Nation The
government which runs a globe-spanning empire led by a reality TV host keeps talking
about the lack of normality in the nation of Iran.
“What we want all countries to join in,” said State Department Spokesperson Morgan
Ortagus in a recent Fox News interview, “is to help us not only to de-escalate any tensions
with Iran, but to help us bring Iran to a place where they are ready to stop their terrorist and
malign behavior, and where they are ready to discuss with the United States, with Europe,
with everyone, about how they can change their behavior to act like a normal nation.”
“We want Iran to simply behave like a normal nation,” Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo said in a press statement the other day. “We believe that the sanctions we imposed
today further that strategic objective.”
These would be the additional sanctions which have been expanded to include virtually
the entire Iranian economy, deliberately targeting Iran’s already sanction-starved
populace, with the explicit goal of fomenting a civil war in that nation.

Ozone Layer Recovery Is Being Undermined by Pollution From U.S. Companies

Sharon Lerner January 18 2020, 12:30 p.m.
The global response to the “ozone hole,” as it came to be known in the 1970s, has long
been held up as a model for environmental problem-solving — and the hope that we might
yet be able to fix the climate crisis. After scientists realized that chemicals used for cooling
and in aerosol sprays were causing the Earth’s protective ozone layer to thin, threatening to
cause vast increases in cancers and other diseases, countries around the world came
together to fix it. Even the companies that made and sold the chemical culprits —

Bolsonaro, Under Fire, Dismisses His Culture Minister For Giving a Nazi
Speech, But It Is Still Representative of Brazil’s Governing Etho Glenn
Greenwald, Victor Pougy January 18 2020, 2:09 p.m.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, under severe pressure from multiple corners, on Friday
fired his Culture Minister, Roberto Alvim, for recording and publishing what can only be
described — with no hyperbole — as a Nazi speech about Brazilian art. Indeed, the speech,
published by Alvim on Thursday, plagiarized Hitler’s Minister of Culture and
Communications Joseph Goebbels and deliberately copied his style and aesthetic when
decreeing what Brazilian art must be in the years to
come: https://theintercept.com/2020/01/18/bolsonaro-under-fire-dismisses-his-culture-

“Death to the Islamic Republic” they chant now- and they call themselves Iranians

Nobody has escaped the news of the so called “popular demonstrations” in Iran during the
recent days. Hundreds of thousands of articles, updates and tweets have been made on this
matter, and many have talked about what the reasons behind these protests have been.
Many videos show groups so called Iranians tearing down the pictures of Martyr Qassem
Soleimani, while others chant “death to the Islamic Republic” and “death to Khamenei”.
Thousands of such people have appeared across Iran and many of those Iranians outside of
Iran cheer on them while the Empire takes every chance to attack Iran as these protests are
used by the Western Media to wage psychological warfare on the Islamic
Republic. https://thesaker.is/death-to-the-islamic-republic-they-chant-now-and-they-call-

On those too-rare occasions when western media condemns Trump’s war crimes, they insert
the rancidly insidious #PeakColonialism.

The legendary Gen. #Soleimani is mourned by every anti-imperialist in the world; hundreds
of thousands of Iraqis poured into the streets to attend his funeral procession.
*Millions* of Iranians were in the streets of Tehran, to honor this courageous
martyr. Arriving nearly one half hour late, and presenting precariously
dyspneic, US President Donald J. Trump addressed the world on Iran’s
retaliation for Trump’s vile assassinations of IRCG Quds Commander Qassem
Soleimani and PMU Deputy Commander Abu Mahdi al Muhandis. Though
necessarily short due to his worrisome breathing difficulties, Trump’s
statement was overflowing with lies, of the war propaganda variety.
Trump claimed zero casualties from Iran’s retaliatory bombing of two US military
bases in Iraq, the first time any country engaged in such retaliation, openly. He claimed
negligible damage to infrastructure. https://www.syrianews.cc/trump-delivers-a-war-

Iran’s Minister of Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi says two Zafar (Victory) satellites have
successfully passed tests and will soon be launched into space.
In a post on his Twitter account on Sunday, Azari Jahromi said the Zafar 1 and 2 satellites
were being carried later in the day to the space center in central Iran for launch.
“Following attempts by young Iranian scientists, the Zafar 1 and 2 satellites, which have
successfully passed their tests, will be deployed to the space center today so that the process
for putting them in orbit can commence soon,” he said. “The satellite and the satellite carrier
are both an important research step.”

Please do read this very important and comprehensive note by Kiaayo Naatoyitapiiksi before
moving on to Global Research article:
The evidence does not matter to propagandists and, despite the public appearance that the
U.S. President is battling the Deep State apparatus, it seems now that the Deep State and the
head of the country are now finally reading from the same page.
The roots of a Washington push for a new war on Iran can be found in the 1992 Defense
Planning Guidance, the 1996 paper called A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the
Realm, the 2000 Rebuilding America’s Defenses, and in a 2001 Pentagon memo described
by Wesley Clark as listing these nations for attack: Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Lebanon,
Syria, and Iran.
Wolfowitz Doctrine
Paul Wolfowitz, a leading neoconservative, penned the Wolfowitz Doctrine shortly after the
Soviet collapse. This doctrine is the basis of US foreign and military policy.
The doctrine states:
“Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of
the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed
formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional
defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from
dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to
generate global power.”
Notice that Washington’s “first objective” is not peace, not prosperity, not human rights, not
democracy, not justice. Washington’s “first objective” is world hegemony. Only the very
confident so blatantly reveal their agenda.
The Wolfowitz doctrine requires Washington to dispense with or overthrow governments
that do not acquiesce to Washington’s will. It is the “first objective.”
Remember the Kellogg–Briand Pact (or Pact of Paris, officially General Treaty for
Renunciation of War as an Instrument of National Policy) in which signatory states
promised not to use war to resolve “disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever
origin they may be, which may arise among them.” Parties failing to abide by this promise
“should be denied of the benefits furnished by this treaty.” It was signed by Germany,
France and the United States on August 27, 1928, and by most other nations soon after.
Sponsored by France and the U.S., the Pact renounced the use of war and called for the
peaceful settlement of disputes.

The Yinon Plan of 1982, drafted when hard-right politician Menachim Begin was prime
minister, was outlined in a paper entitled “A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s.” It maintained
that Israel’s security would be guaranteed only if its neighbors were to be somehow forced or
otherwise induced to come apart and return to their tribal, ethnic, and religious
constituencies, which had been arbitrarily combined into individual nation-states by the
imperial powers after World War I. The Yinon Plan included recommendations for military
action to accomplish what might not be done more clandestinely, including an Israeli
invasion of Syria to break the country down into Alawite, Druze, Sunni, and Christian
communities. A fragmented Arab world creating a “Balkanized” weak-state system for the
region, combined with relocation of the Palestinians to Jordan, would remove all the threats
to Israel’s survival.

Study Traces Evolution of Acoustic Communication Back to 350 Million Years Ago A study
tracing acoustic communication across the tree of life of land-living vertebrates
reveals that the ability to vocalize goes back hundreds of millions of years, is
associated with a nocturnal lifestyle and has remained stable.
Imagine taking a hike through a forest or a stroll through a zoo and not a sound fills the air,
other than the occasional chirp from a cricket. No birds singing, no tigers roaring, no
monkeys chattering, and no human voices, either. Acoustic communication among
vertebrate animals is such a familiar experience that it seems impossible to imagine a world
shrouded in silence.
But why did the ability to shout, bark, bellow or moo evolve in the first place? In what is
likely the first study to trace the evolution of acoustic communication across terrestrial
vertebrates, John J. Wiens of the University of Arizona and Zhuo Chen, a visiting scientist
from Henan Normal University in Xinxiang, China, traced the evolution of acoustic
communication in terrestrial vertebrates back to 350 million years
ago. https://scitechdaily.com/study-traces-evolution-of-acoustic-communication-back-to-

Possible On/Off Switch for Plant Growth Identified
Protein could be key to saving crops endangered by

New research from UC Riverside identifies a protein that controls plant growth — good news
for an era in which crops can get crushed by climate change.

expand. They discovered IRK in the root cells of a plant related to
mustard. https://scitechdaily.com/possible-on-off-switch-for-plant-growth-identified/

Unraveling the Mysteries of Dark Matter by Taking Its Temperature Warm, cold, just right?
Physicists at the University of California, Davis, are taking the temperature of dark matter,
the mysterious substance that makes up about a quarter of our universe.
We have very little idea of what dark matter is, and physicists have yet to detect a dark
matter particle. But we do know that the gravity of clumps of dark matter can distort light
from distant objects. Chris Fassnacht, a physics professor at UC Davis, and colleagues are
using this distortion, called gravitational lensing, to learn more about the properties of dark
matter.
The standard model for dark matter is that it is ”cold,” meaning that the particles move
slowly compared to the speed of light, Fassnacht said. This is also tied to the mass of dark
matter particles. The lower the mass of the particle, the “warmer” it is and the faster it will
move. https://scitechdaily.com/unraveling-the-mysteries-of-dark-matter-by-taking-its-

Massive Black Hole Collisions Illuminated by X-Rays and Gravitational Waves
TOPICS:AstrophysicsBlack HoleGravitational WavesUniversity of Birmingham
By University of Birmingham The European Space Agency (ESA) has recently announced
that its two major space observatories of the 2030s will have their launches timed for
simultaneous use. These missions, Athena, the next generation X-ray space telescope and
LISA, the first space-based gravitational wave observatory, will be coordinated to begin
observing within a year of each other and are likely to have at least four years of overlapping
science operations.
According to the new study, published this week in Nature Astronomy, ESA’s decision will
give astronomers an unprecedented opportunity to produce multi-messenger maps of some
of the most violent cosmic events in the Universe, which have not been observed so far and
which lie at the heart of long-standing mysteries surrounding the evolution of the
Universe. https://scitechdaily.com/massive-black-hole-collisions-illuminated-by-x-rays-

Strong Emission Lines Seen in Galaxy 135 Million Light-Years Away
For this Picture of the Week, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope turned its powerful
eye towards an emission line galaxy called NGC 3749.
When astronomers explore the contents and constituent parts of a galaxy somewhere in the
Universe, they use various techniques and tools. One of these is to spread out the incoming
light from that galaxy into a spectrum and explore its properties. This is done in much the
same way as a glass prism spreads white light into its constituent wavelengths to create a
rainbow. By hunting for specific signs of emission from various elements within a galaxy’s
spectrum of light — so-called emission lines — or, conversely, the signs of absorption from
other elements — so-called absorption lines — astronomers can start to deduce what might
be happening within. https://scitechdaily.com/strong-emission-lines-seen-in-galaxy-135-

By Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie November 14, 2019 Using
crystallographic analyses at the Diamond Light Source (DLS) synchrotron in the
United Kingdom, an HZB team has demonstrated that hybrid halide
perovskites crystallize without inversion center. Interactions between the
organic molecules and adjacent iodine atoms can lead to the formation of
ferroelectric domains, which, indirectly, can result in higher solar-cell
