This information is important and I am sorry that my talents want allow me to, take the information from one part of this phone and put it on a website! (And apparently when i get trained, it evaporates!)
This is a ‘motherjones.com’ article, from Jan 9, ‘20... Ali Breland/Reporter
‘Trump’s Propaganda War On Iran Started Long Before Soleimani’s Killing.’
How the State Department funded a campaign targeting US, citizens.
This Administration always appears to be hiding something when it comes to Iran.
They seem to be choking on their words. Now, I see from this article there is ‘something!’ How much more? As hard as I try to get past making this ‘distant judgement’ it keeps coming up. So maybe others have information to share on this US and Iran situation.
I see no “Administration.” I see a Malignant Narcissist having filled the holes of hate created by Industry-backed Republican think-tanks & focus groups... An anomaly amid even that radicalized party, his gamble appears to have worked … and his behavior has become their norm..
He/ they harvest hate. Not difficult, when their targets know so little of the world. trump is playing on fears from decades ago … and his religious followers are eating it up.. There’s no deep strategy involved. And the only reason the spineless members of the Republican Party kiss his ass is the core voters within their primaries demand it … else their gravy train would end..
It’s primal, lizard brain reactions they’re playing to, not the educated ~
So well put! Sometimes I think members of this Admin demonize other people in foreign lands, to impress the scores of people who have hardly ventured out of their state, except maybe to the beach or Disney Land. My own Evangelical niece, thought New Mexico, was in Mexico! She ran her own Real-estate business for years. So she isn’t dumb. Just ‘eat up’ with that good old time religion! And voted for trump, because the church instructed it be done!
@Freedompath Your niece reminds me of a cousin. Though Valedictorian of her HS class, you’d never know it.. She’s do deep into religion she wants to build her own church! In order to reach that level of ignorance, she’s made a serious effort of ignoring reality. It’s tragic, and unfortunately a short matter of time before she inherits my Uncle’s money. Needless to say, she’s also a trumper
@Varn so sad! That reminded me of my mother who did build this huge brick building (out in the country), her granddaughter’s husband was going to be the preacher and her granddaughter was there to help! My mother was a diagnosed sociopath, (gd) mentally ill( to present day), (gd) husband was alcoholic! Before it could ever get off the ground, it all went to ‘hell’ in a hand basket.’ Then the country came after my mother over this building (taxes,etc), so my mother reported it as her barn! Do I ever have stories...
The Chinese have a saying...’the man takes a drink and the drink takes the man!’ I often think, the same is often true with religion!
I think that the US Administration does promote lies, propaganda, and deception because it distrusts almost any sovereign nation other than itself. That is why the US official position it is greater than other nations in many quality of life achievements, when the opposite extremes have been proven time and again in so many crucial conditions of our lives as citizens. The deception has gone on for a long time.
I agree!
This goes back to before 45 pulled out of the Iran deal. Diplomacy was working, and
had been working since the Obama administration unfroze and returned the Iranian
assets, which were seized in 1979. That wasn't a "secret deal" with taxpayer money.
That was their money, returned to them, as a means to open diplomatic channels.
It was working. They were abiding by the deal, UNTIL 45 fucked it all up.
There's more, but generally, 45 and the republicans are continuing their stupid and
short-sighted campaign of undoing all the good Obama was doing.
Idiots, all.
