On this day, August 19th, 1953, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a coup to overthrow Iran’s Mohammad Mossadegh

Posted by M. C. on August 19, 2025

Those darned Iranians with their long memories don’t appreciate our benevolence in installing a malevolent dictator for the sake of oil com….errr…..common Iranian folk.

On this day, August 19th, 1953, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a coup to overthrow Iran’s Mohammad Mossadegh, reinstating the Shah and sparking decades of resentment. This intervention, driven by oil interests, violated Iranian sovereignty and fueled anti-U.S. sentiment. It exemplifies the blowback of meddling in foreign affairs. This affair is unknown to most Americans today, and its obfuscation continues the false narratives that drive public opinion to support bellicose policies towards Iran while ignoring legitmate grivences spawned by the policies and actions of our own government against our will.

The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania critiques this U.S. meddling, advocating for non-intervention to avoid such long-term harm. We believe respecting sovereignty prevents conflicts like the Iran hostage crisis. Let’s end imperial overreach and prioritize peace.

IAEA Chief Says There’s ‘No Proof’ Iran Working Toward a Nuclear Bomb

Posted by M. C. on June 19, 2025

His position aligns with US intelligence

In case you forgot. It’s about ethnic cleansing on one hand and oil/pipelines on the other…not nukes.

Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), reaffirmed on Tuesday that his organization had “no proof” that Iran decided to build a nuclear bomb ahead of Israel’s attacks on the country.

Grossi made the comments in an interview with CNN host Christiane Amanpour, who brought up the fact that US intelligence had also assessed there was no evidence Iran was working toward a nuclear weapon.

“What we informed and what we reported was that we did not have — as in coincidence with some of the sources you mentioned there, that we did not have any proof of a systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon,” Grossi said.

He added that the IAEA couldn’t say whether or not there was “clandestine” activity that it wasn’t aware of, but based on available evidence, there was no indication that Iran was attempting to weaponize its nuclear program.

Remember those times THEY Attacked US!

Posted by M. C. on June 15, 2025

Imagine how the world might be different if we minded our own business just a little bit.

https://www.npr.org/2019/01/31/690363402/how-the-cia-overthrew-irans-democracy-in-four-days

The documents provided details of the CIA’s plan at the time, which was led by senior officer Kermit Roosevelt Jr., the grandson of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. Over the course of four days in August 1953, Roosevelt would orchestrate not one, but two attempts to destabilize the government of Iran, forever changing the relationship between the country and the U.S.

The U.S. knew about, and in one case helped, Iraq’s chemical weapons attacks against Iran in the 1980’s, according to recently declassified CIA documents obtained by Foreign Policy.

But Hersh reveals the U.S. intelligence community feared Turkey was supplying sarin gas to Syrian rebels in the months before the attack took place — information never made public as President Obama made the case for launching a strike. Hersh joins us to discuss his findings.

Is Israel Set to Attack Iran?-Kyle Anzalone

Posted by M. C. on June 12, 2025

“That’s right, the country that 95% of Congress would name as America’s greatest ally is actually undermining one of the president’s core foreign policy initiatives.”

“There is no cause for the US to go to war with Iran, a country that has not attacked the United States and has no plans to. Iran has no nuclear weapons, is a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (unlike nuclear-armed Israel), and has not worked to weaponize its civilian energy program.”

“If Iraq was an unwinnable quagmire, Iran might just be the war that brings the collapse of the American Empire.” Quite likely.

The US has already paid ahead for this project with $$$ and weapon$ thanks to congress. If Bibi and AIPAC have their way we can add US body bags.

Washington appears to be preparing for an Israeli assault on the Islamic Republic.

The Washington Post reports:

“The United States is on high alert in anticipation of a potential Israeli strike on Iran, with the State Department authorizing the evacuation of some personnel in Iraq and the Pentagon green-lighting the departure of military family members across the Middle East.

The State Department recently ordered all embassies within striking distance of Iranian assets – including missions in the Middle East but also Eastern Europe and Northern Africa – to convene emergency action committees (EACs) and send cables back to Washington about measures to mitigate risks.”

Maybe the most surprising part of the report is that Tel Aviv is planning to take action against the wishes of the White House. The Post continued:

“In recent months, US intelligence officials have grown increasingly concerned that Israel may choose to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities without the consent of the United States. Such a move would almost certainly scuttle the Trump administration’s delicate nuclear negotiations and prompt an Iranian retaliation on US assets in the region.”

That’s right, the country that 95% of Congress would name as America’s greatest ally is actually undermining one of the president’s core foreign policy initiatives.

Israel’s Senators Want War with Iran

Posted by M. C. on February 4, 2025

The Libertarian Institute

If Senators are concerned about officials disagreeing with the intelligence community to push a foreign country’s propaganda, they should first look to Senator Graham, who continues to lie that Iran nearly has a nuclear weapon even when the CIA repeatedly assessed that Tehran is not attempting to build a nuke. Graham is lying to the American people so they will support an Israeli attack on Iran.

Unless the White House reclaims its sovereignty from Tel Aviv, Washington will continue to enact policies that benefit Israel at the expense of Americans.

They will do anything for…well not US voters.

The Debrief – February 3, 2025
Israel’s Senators Want War with Iran

-Kyle Anzalone Senators John Fetterman and Lindsey Graham appeared on Fox News Sunday Morning to push their new Resolution instructing the President to back an Israeli attack on Iran. 

The less articulate of the two, Fetterman, explained that no matter what, he supports Israel. In fact, he seems to be confusing Pennsylvania with the Jewish State. He told Americans that while he will not always agree with the American president, he will always stand with Israel.

Not to be outdone, Graham then called for the US to aid Israel in attacking Iran. Graham stated that Iran nearly has a nuclear weapon that Tehran will use to destroy the world.  

These two Senators’ remarks are highly ironic following Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing. During last week’s session questioning, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence nominee was smeared with accusations of being a Russian, Iranian, and Syrian agent. 

While no proof exists to back those claims, if Senators are concerned about an American politician with foreign loyalties, they should look at Fetterman, who proudly proclaims Israel to be his number one priority. 

If Senators are concerned about officials disagreeing with the intelligence community to push a foreign country’s propaganda, they should first look to Senator Graham, who continues to lie that Iran nearly has a nuclear weapon even when the CIA repeatedly assessed that Tehran is not attempting to build a nuke. Graham is lying to the American people so they will support an Israeli attack on Iran. 

As Professor Jeffery Sachs explained on Judging Freedom with host Judge Andrew Napolitano, Israel has captured Washington’s Iranian and Middle East policy. Unless the White House reclaims its sovereignty from Tel Aviv, Washington will continue to enact policies that benefit Israel at the expense of Americans.

How About That — It’s Not Putin or Iran Interfering In Our Election … It’s The Brits!

J.D. Vance, Israel Firster

Posted by M. C. on October 15, 2024

by Adam Dick

Vance here supports the US acting as Israel’s devoted servant in support of whatever “fighting” Israel decides to pursue against Iran. According to Vance, the decision-making is all at the discretion of the Israel government. The US just tags along, providing unwavering support.

https://ronpaulinstitute.org/j-d-vance-israel-firster/

Donald Trump likes to talk about how he puts America first. Last night, Trump’s presidential race running mate J.D. Vance made it clear that Vance has other priorities. In answer to the first question of the vice-presidential debate, Vance asserted that his allegiance is to Israel first. Indeed, he suggested that America does not even come in second.

Here is how Vance responded to debate moderator Margaret Brennan’s question of if Vance would “support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran”:

Now, you asked about a preemptive strike, Margaret, and I want to answer the question. Look, it is up to Israel what they think they need to do to keep their country safe, and we should support our allies wherever they are when they are fighting the bad guys. I think that’s the right approach to take with the Israel question.

Vance here supports the US acting as Israel’s devoted servant in support of whatever “fighting” Israel decides to pursue against Iran. According to Vance, the decision-making is all at the discretion of the Israel government. The US just tags along, providing unwavering support.

Note also the use of the plural “allies” by Vance. To how many other foreign governments is Vance supporting US servitude to advance their fights against “bad guys”? Is Vance for America third, twelfth, twenty-fifth? Who knows? What is his current list of allies that he puts before America?

The U.S. Military Should Not Fight For Ukraine, or For Israel

Posted by M. C. on October 12, 2024

Iran is an advanced populous country, their military does not work out of caves with cell phones and VCRs.

We are still fighting the latter and not winning.

Netanyahu’s Speech Was As American As It Gets

Posted by M. C. on July 25, 2024

58 standing ovations from the American congress. You would think BN runs the US.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress was everything you’d expect: packed full of lies and propaganda spin, yet simultaneously very illuminating and revealing.

The Israeli prime minister received no fewer than 58 standing ovations while speaking before both houses of Congress and spewing the most despicable lies you could possibly imagine in his conspicuously American accent. Depending on how politically aware you are, this spectacle could be perceived as either deeply un-American, or as American as it gets.

Netanyahu repeated evidence-free atrocity propaganda about what happened on October 7, falsely asserting that Hamas “burned babies alive” and killed two babies in an attic. He falsely claimed that Hamas “butchered 1,200 people”, pretending it’s not a well-established fact that many of the 1,139 Israeli deaths that day came from both indiscriminate IDF fire and deliberate targeting in implementation of the Hannibal Directive.

He made the completely baseless claim that Iran may be paying the anti-genocide demonstrators outside the Capitol Building during his speech, saying, “When the Tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, are praising, promoting and funding you, you have officially become Iran’s useful idiots.”
