Ron Paul – The Unz Review Jan 6, 2020
President Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told us the US had to assassinate Maj. Gen. Qassim Soleimani last week because he was planning “Imminent attacks” on US citizens. I don’t believe them.
Why not? Because Trump and the neocons – like Pompeo – have been lying about Iran for the past three years in an effort to whip up enough support for a US attack. From the phony justification to get out of the Iran nuclear deal, to blaming Yemen on Iran, to blaming Iran for an attack on Saudi oil facilities, the US Administration has fed us a steady stream of lies for three years because they are obsessed with Iran.
And before Trump’s obsession with attacking Iran, the past four US Administrations lied ceaselessly to bring about wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Serbia, Somalia, and the list goes on.
At some point, when we’ve been lied to constantly and consistently for decades about a “threat” that we must “take out” with a military attack, there comes a time where we must assume they are lying until they provide rock solid, irrefutable proof. Thus far they have provided nothing. So I don’t believe them.
President Trump has warned that his administration has already targeted 52 sites important to Iran and Iranian culture and the US will attack them if Iran retaliates for the assassination of Gen. Soleimani. Because Iran has no capacity to attack the United States, Iran’s retaliation if it comes will likely come against US troops or US government officials stationed or visiting the Middle East. I have a very easy solution for President Trump that will save the lives of American servicemembers and other US officials: just come home. There is absolutely no reason for US troops to be stationed throughout the Middle East to face increased risk of death for nothing.
In our Ron Paul Liberty Report program last week we observed that the US attack on a senior Iranian military officer on Iraqi soil – over the objection of the Iraq government – would serve to finally unite the Iraqi factions against the United States. And so it has: on Sunday the Iraqi parliament voted to expel US troops from Iraqi soil. It may have been a non-binding resolution, but there is no mistaking the sentiment. US troops are not wanted and they are increasingly in danger. So why not listen to the Iraqi parliament?
Bring our troops home, close the US Embassy in Baghdad – a symbol of our aggression – and let the people of the Middle East solve their own problems. Maintain a strong defense to protect the United States, but end this neocon pipe-dream of ruling the world from the barrel of a gun. It does not work. It makes us poorer and more vulnerable to attack. It makes the elites of Washington rich while leaving working and middle class America with the bill. It engenders hatred and a desire for revenge among those who have fallen victim to US interventionist foreign policy. And it results in millions of innocents being killed overseas.
There is no benefit to the United States to trying to run the world. Such a foreign policy brings only bankruptcy – moral and financial. Tell Congress and the Administration that for America’s sake we demand the return of US troops from the Middle East!
You shouldn’t trust Donald Trump on anything, the man is a serial rapist and pathological liar. He is a standing threat to the United States and traditional values so long as he is in office. Trump is married to Israel, he is a secret agent of Israel who’s job is to destroy the United States of America. He is a standing threat to the Republic and the liberty it stands for. With Trump, Amerikan Liberty means Legalized Rape, Murder, Graft, Nepotism, Lying.
There is ample evidence to immediately arrest Donald Trump for pre-meditated murder of Soleimani. Trump lured him to his death, he literally set a trap and murdered a head of state on a diplomatic mission. Trump is literally a dangerous state predator, he is using the power of the presidential office to increase the magnitude of his criminal behavior.
What Trump just did will live in the annals of history as the worst Presidential crime ever. Trump IS a Presidential Predator bar none.
Trump should be locked up for the rest of his life, all his assets striped to pay for the damages he has done. He is a far worse predator than Harvey Weinstein, like Weinstein he raped dozens in back dressing rooms, but with Trump he rapes nations (illegal sanctions) then boasts in his own glory like some mafiosa bossman thug.
If the impeachment of Trump by the Demonrats is legit, then Israeli tools Pelosi and Schiff have just been handed the rope to hang Trump with the 100% illegal murder of Soleimani. A good prosecutor could write up a list of charges a mile long.
Pelosi doesn’t have to sit on impeachment charges like a ditsy Cuckoo bird on an egg, she can draw up new charges against Trump, the charge of Murder 1.
To Yukon Jack:
Good rant but, it’s too bad you can’t understand the fact that Netanyahu, Erdogan, Putin, Trump, Weinstein, Pelosi, Schiff, and the majority of International politicians are creatures from the same Global Swamp and they are all reading from the same script. Furthermore, your claim that Trump “will live in the annals of history as the worst Presidential crime ever…” shows you have never really studied POTUS history. You probably also believe that Trump was elected into office.
Ron Paul respects the people because he respects the truth and trusts the people with the truth. Trump and the Masonic-Zionist-Rothschild manipulators have no regard for the truth and by their ceaseless lies have absolutely no respect for the people, or for any kind of any real justice in the world. They are the real enemies of mankind and the real threat of our survival.
“………we demand the return of US troops from the Middle East!”
Yeah, but what about our greatest ally?
Yukon Jack:
Unfortunately, Trump will survive, win in Nov. 2020 with a landslide victory, win a majority in the Congress (House), the Senate and have a majority of Conservative judges at all district court and Supreme court levels. So Trump could be USA’s Dictator or Saviour, where he delays America’s destruction by International Jewry for a NWO. The situation right now between the USA vs. Iran is an Islamic Mahdi or Christian AntiChrist or Jewish Mashiach or Hindu Maitreya scenario. The End under some NWO is near!
Dr. Ron Paul is absolutely right, as usual. Ron Paul is a good, intelligent, moral man, which is why the elites railroaded him to make sure he couldn’t be President despite his having huge grassroots support. The Jewnited States really missed the boat on effecting true positive change for the better when Ron Paul got shoved off the stage. He was for ending the illegal reign of the “Federal Reserve”, the criminal banking cartel’s branch in the Jew S A that has kept everyone in debt slavery. Destroying the Fed, and “central banking” in general, is the key to salvation.
