I want to turn away from the COVID-19 hysteria for a few articles.... I and others in the REAL truth movement have been so distracted by what has been happening around the world over the last week, especially since the criminals over at the World Health Organization changed the status of COVID-19 to a "pandemic" on March 11th (Notice the "33" here where March is the 3rd month, and the day is the 11th, and if you multiply 3 x 11 you get "33". Numerology indeed!)..... The news has been so inundated with COVID-19 this and COVID-19 that, that people so quickly forget that there has been a lot of MAJOR news happening elsewhere....I found the following very important article earlier today, and I do want to share it with my own readers here... This one comes from the 'Moon Of Alabama" website, at www.moonofalabama.org, and asks the important question: "Why Is The US Launching A New War On Iraq?" and focuses in on what has been happening in Iraq now, especially since a few days ago another ILLEGAL American "base" in Iraq was "mysteriously" attacked by rockets, and the US has "responded" that that incident by launching attacks against what they falsely claim are "pro-Iranian" groups.... Here is that article here for everyone to see for themselves, and I do have further thoughts and comments to follow:
Why Is The U.S. Launching A New War On Iraq?
On January 3 the U.S. assassinated the Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Suleimani and the deputy chairman of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Abu Mahdi al Muhandis near the airport of Baghdad. In response to the infraction of Iraq's sovereignty the parliament voted to evict all U.S. and coalition forces from Iraq. The U.S. rejected the request to leave.On March 11, the birthday of Qassem Suleimani, unknown guerilla fired 18 Katyusha rockets against a joint base at Camp Taji, about 17 miles north of Baghdad. Two U.S. and one British soldiers were killed by the strike and twelve others were wounded.Only hours later the U.S., or one of its allies, responded by striking ten targets near Bukamal with drones. Bukamal is a border crossing where Iraqi units aligned with Iran are guarding the Syrian-Iraqi border. While some sources claimed that 18 people were killed in those strikes others denied that there were any casualties.Last night the U.S. hit five additional targets in Iraq.It claimed that these airstrikes were aimed at Khatib Hizbullah, one of the PMU units that is supported by Iran. It said it 'believes' that Khatib Hizbullah was responsible for the rocket attack. But neither the targets nor the casualty list is not consistent with that claim. Three soldiers of the 19th Commando Division of the Iraqi army were killed and four more wounded. Two men from the Iraqi Federal Police were killed and two more wounded. Five Khatib Hizbullah members were also wounded.One of the targets was a former military airport near Karbala which is one of the Shiite holy pilgrimage cities. The airport is supposed to become a civilian one and is currently under renovation. Its main building is now destroyed (vid). One civil worker sleeping at the site was allegedly killed as were two soldiers who were guarding the place.The U.S. either has no information where Khatib Hizbullah units really, or it is intentionally targeting sites and units that will further inflame Iraq's Shia majority:
Another Iran-backed militia, Harakat al-Nujaba, accused the United States of hitting militia and Iraqi army headquarters, as well as a civilian airport. In a statement early Friday, it said that further strikes could prompt retaliation involving an “eye for an eye.”The group did not elaborate on what that might be, and it was not immediately possible to confirm the U.S. statements that the strikes had only targeted militia facilities, or the militia claim that a civilian-related location had been struck.
Grand Ayatollah Sistani condemned the attack.The 'western' media depict this war as if it were between Iran and the United States. But the U.S. troops involved are in Iraq without the consent of the Iraqi government. They are occupiers against whom resistance is legitimate. They are bombing official Iraqi government troops on Iraqi ground.That is at least how the majority of Iraqis see it and that is why they will respond until the U.S. has left their country.Why the U.S. is doing in Iraq what it now does is beyond me.Posted by b on March 13, 2020 at 12:26 UTC NTS Notes: I have the REAL answer as to why the US is launching a new war on Iraq... It has to do with their subservience to the criminal state of Israel that absolutely has been demanding their American puppets stay in Iraq for the purpose of keeping the illegal forward bases in operation for the "potential" war that is still very possibly upcoming against the innocent nation of Iran...And yes, the Americans are indeed operating in Iraq illegally and against the will of the Iraqi people.... The Iraqis have had ENOUGH of being enslaved to American interests since the illegal and brutal war of 2003 and have been demanding that the Americans get the fuck out of their country....Of course the Americans will continue with their excuses, especially with the bullshit that they are in Iraq to "fight terrorism" which THEY themselves have created along with their masters in Israel... And they are trying to sell to the world the bullshit that they are fighting to "protect" Iraq from "Iranian aggression" which is so laughable and ludicrous that only a complete moron would still believe it...This is indeed another case of the Iraqi people screaming to their American occupiers: "Yankee go home"... And the reality that as long as the Americans continue to stay in that country as invaders, the more they will come under increasing attacks by Iraqis themselves.....The bottom line here is this: The Americans have overstayed their "welcome" in Iraq, and it is time for them to get the fuck out and stay out!More to comeNTS
