Yes Sir, there is an intense discussion between president Donald Trump’s strategist, Steve Banion and Jeffrey Epstein about what will happen if the sex scandals all come to light.
The two men agree that if cornered, and the Epstein files drive Trump to desperation, then, he (Trump), like a “Rat cornered” (words used in files) will declare a diversionary war on Trump.
This is not as wild as it appears.
When former president Bill Clinton was cornered over the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, he ordered the bombing of Sudan. What he claimed was a weapons manufacturing plant turned out to be a Bayers Aspirin plant.
But let us proceed. Trump’s nemesis, the Canadian prime minister Mike Carney, has said the bad words. “The US attack on Iran is inconsistent with international law. It is illegal.” He said.
Dear reader, please bear with us.
These Europeans are turning out to be the biggest hypocrites on earth. Carney’s speech follows a US-Israeli attack on Iran, killing the Holy Father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, his son-in-law and daughter in-law and their three-year-old grandchild.
That was not all. The US-Israelis went on to bomb a girl’s elementary school, killing 165 girls, ages between three and 15.
The US, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had no choice in the matter but to carry on a “pre-emptive strike” because Iran was an imminent threat for 46 years.
As we go to press, US senators Elizabeth Warren, Brother Cory Booker and Richard Blumenthal have just left the Congressional briefing room.
The sharp-tongued Senator Warren asked how “an imminent threat” can last 46 years.
Oh, no, Rubio told the press. The US went to war because Israel was going to war with Iran.
The truth is murkier than it looks. The truth is that Israel has bought the US Congress and policy makers, and prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited Trump six times (every two months) to tell him what to do.
The date for the war, according to Axios, Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, may have been set during the master’s visit on December 29 at mar-a-largo with Trump.
The negotiations were a ruse, to put the Iranians to sleep.
But we return to the hypocrites, the Canadians. The Iran war is illegal under international and under the US constitution. Only Congress can authorize war.
In any case, the matter of a just war has been discussed since the time of Father Abraham. Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine and the Holy Father St. Thomas Aquinas say a war must be authorised by a proper authority.
The Canadians said nothing when US-Israel murdered 70 000 Gazans and maimed over 100 000.
That was not authorised by the United Nations.
Carney himself has gone further.
If the war in Iran is illegal, one expects Canada to refuse to participate.
No Siree!
The same applies to the United Kingdom. Sir Kier Starmer has reservations about the legality of the Iran war.
But the UK will participate in “limited ways.”
Now, dear reader, with friends like these, you are better off with your enemies.
It is called the drama of the narrative.
The US sent two real estate managers and Zionists, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner and developer Steve Whitcoff. These two have just told the Daily Wire (a Jewish paper) that in their negotiations, the Iranians were arrogant.
How arrogant, we ask?
The Zionist negotiators wanted Iran to give up “its desire ever to have a nuclear weapon.” Iran was to hand over all nuclear material used in research to the US for inspection.
Iran was to give up support to Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation.
As we speak, UN weapons inspector, Rafasi Grossi (March 3) has issued a statement that “there is no evidence of a coordinated Iranian program to build weapons.”
Carney and I thought that the UN protocols constitute international law.
Does the US care what the UN or Carney thinks “about international rules and rules-based order?” (Carney’s words)
Please do not laugh.
Any reasonable person will agree that these are fair and just demands if they applied to Israel as well.
No Siree!
Israel can keep its nuclear weapons. Israel can develop nuclear material. Israel can oppress Palestinians.
In any case these demands are not being made by the United Nations. The United Nations, therefore loses its purpose in world affairs if the US-Israelis are allowed to make wars whenever and wherever they want.
Is Trump an idiot?
The US Logan Act, 1799 bars civilians from not named by the Senate to conduct negotiations behalf the American people abroad.
Kushner and Witkoff (Trump’s cronies) have been negotiating nuclear terms with Iran in Geneva.
Citizens in the state of Idaho are giving their senator, James Risch, a very bad time over this matter. I cannot repeat the words here.
The arrogance of these cronies towards the Iranians left them no choice but to undergird themselves with a preference for death with honor rather than life with dishonor.
The Holy Father Khamenei has earned a place among the martyrs by his death and the witness of a million mourners.
It is estimated that 85 000 Canadians are stranded as airports in the Middle East have been closed.
Rather than assure safety for civilian shipping, the presence of US navy and aircraft in and near the Red Sea, Hormuz and the Middle East actually denote a war zone.
The first group of American dead soldiers is to be flown home today. Petrol prices have risen by US$1 to US$3 per gallon in none day.
Trump did not consult the European Union in advance, and they are reluctant to co-operate. True to character, he has insulted Sir Kier Starmer- “He is not a Churchill.” He said.
Trump loathes Carney. He has disinvited him to the Gaza Peace Council.
