An Absolutely Insane Campaign of Lying from the Administration about the Iranian Strikes
The story being told is so absurd even a child wouldn't believe it, which is why millions of American 'Adults' have bought the story at face value.
So like many, I had some anxiety about what America was going to do in Iran given that it was obvious we were going to strike them.
The only thing tempering my anxiety was that over the course of the hostilities between Tehran and Tel-Aviv, was how much the conflict was being managed. While Israel was happy to use maximum rhetoric about the effectiveness of their campaign, it was obvious that Israel, while having done damage, was still very limited in what they were actually doing away from the PR campaign.
For example, all the Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were obviously going to be ineffective and were for show. Similarly, Israel claims every day to be operating their aircraft freely over Iran, but it is obviously not so: they are hanging out around the border between Iraq and Iran and are launching standoff strikes, some of which are intercepted by AD which is still working and still effective.
Also, it was obvious that there is a rift between Bibi and Trump, with the later being hesitant to do anything that would cause him to own a ‘new war’ with Tehran. So for me, I was worried, but I was also secure in the knowledge that DC when it acted, was going for more of a PR stunt to make Trump look strong, especially since Americans only define reality by what their media says, which will say anything any wealthy person in America wants to say.
The rhetoric after the strikes was worrying but predictable, with wild claims such as ‘complete obliteration’ of facilities being obviously false as there was not a way for anyone to know in that moment what the damage at Fordow consisted of.
Luckily for the World, then, Trump was trying to ‘do something’ without having to actually accomplish anything, so he could manage the conflict on his own terms within the confines of his favorite media images of himself. He actually wasn’t trying to start a true hot war with Iran, because of course Americans think they can define and determine what counts as ‘war’ when they are dealing with other countries.
This miscalculation will have obvious implications, as the Iranians are not on board with America’s public relations agenda, and will retaliate in some way that makes the situation worse for Trump and his administration. Even had America just bombed empty spots in the desert, it is a bridge too far to assume the Iranians would just take it on the chin and swallow the pain.
Until the retaliation happens, however, the Trump Administration and the neocon media that is the medium between Trump and the Public, are engaged in perhaps the most coordinated, flagrant, and malicious campaign of lying to the American People that has occurred probably since Iraq and definitely on the same level of the Nordstream deception.
To believe Trump, his allies, the zionists, and the media is to believe a fantasy that even a child would be embarrassed to describe. The story now is that a nearly half of our B-2 bombers and over half of our GBU bunker busters were used, to freely fly over Central Iran with its functioning Radar and AD network to bomb its nuclear enrichment sites.
The bombers flew in with an escort of F-22s and F-35s, suppressed Iranian AD, Radar and Airforce from reacting, freely dropped 12-14 GBUs onto Central Iran, and flew home unimpeded while celebrating with Champagne and Mcdonald’s.
Friends, this absolutely never happened. Just as a crew of Ukrainians didn’t rent a yacht and then blow up the biggest underwater gas pipeline in the world (Nordstream), America’s airforce did not fly over central Tehran and freely bomb Fordow or any other site.
To even believe such a thing is ridiculous: some might say that Trump and the Ayatollah had some backrooms talks and the Iranians agreed to let Trump ineffectively bomb their nuclear sites with a huge air force so Trump can get out of the situation without doing anything. Well that story is DOA, as the Iranians would never trust America to do such a thing given everything that has happened over the decades, more specifically since Trump came to power.
The Alternative, is to take the story at face value: America flew unimpeded with one of its largest bomber fleets that it has assembled in recent memory, with all its most advanced airframes, and was neither seen nor engaged by Iranian AD or the Airforce, bomber nuclear sites in the middle of the country, and then flew back also unimpeded by AD or the Airforce. Even more remarkable is that the USA would be capable of doing this while at the same time the IDF cannot fly much passed the border between Iraq and Iran without risking being shot down in their advanced F-35s.
Well the full court media press is happening now, and everyone is busy celebrating the ‘return of American deterrence’ and the ‘complete obliteration of the Iranian Nuclear Program’ to notice that the story doesn’t hold up at all.
What most likely happened, is that the USA joined the IDF in a raid launched from around the same area that the IDF have been launching airstrikes from the entire time, and instead of bombs they instead used air-launched ballistic missiles that are good at penetrating the ground, ran away and then declared victory.
Fordow was not destroyed; a wing of B-2s with a full fighter escort and over half of our GBU did not fly over central Iran, and America accomplished nothing for their neocon agenda or for Bibi in Tel-Aviv.
America clearly attacked Iran, and now is basically at war with Tehran despite insistence that it was just a ‘one off strike’ meant to bring back diplomacy (LOL!) and negotiations. There will be an Iranian retaliation, and Israel will get more and more desperate as they run out of AD to defend against ballistic missile attacks, so perhaps a political collapse for Bibi is finally going to happen. There will also be much celebration in the American Media over it, and politically Trump will suffer with his base.
But let me tell you friends, most assuredly the Trump administration is currently engaged in one of the biggest campaigns of lying in recent memory, trying to manage the implications for attacking Iran to his base that will react harshly to high gas prices and dead American soldiers deployed in the Middle East. And yet, we can not even begin to recon with those implications, because everyone is too busy partying over a war with Iran they already think America already won.
