9/11 VERDICT IS US PROPAGANDA FOR WAGING WAR ON IRAN

RT

This is propaganda we have to put a halt to as swiftly as possible by spreading the truth and exposing the liars. Last week I posted PROPAGANDA ALERT: JUDGE RULES IRAN CONNECTED TO 9/11 about this very thing.  It is beyond ridiculous and so patently false but people are easily gulled. We must SCREAM to the rooftops to end this idiocy. 

 

So here is an interview with Michel Chossudovsky on RT discussing the matter. Like anything else, I suppose only repetition will get the message through eventually.

Director of the Center for Research on Globalization Michel Chossudovsky has told RT that calling Iran’s officials ~ including the supreme leader ~ guilty of helping the 9/11 attackers is nothing but “a ploy.” 

 

On Thursday, families of victims of the September 11th 2001 attacks won a default judgment against Iran, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and Lebanon-based Hezbollah. According to the lawsuit, people in Iran ~ including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei- provided support to the terrorists who went on to attack civilians on US soil. But Mr. Chossudovsky told RT he believes it’s nothing but a cover-up, with Iran as a convenient fall guy.

“There is absolutely no evidence that Iran aided the 9/11 attacks. There is ample evidence after collection that there was conspiracy and the complicity of the US government…There is absolutely no evidence that Al Qaeda or the Taliban were involved in the 9/11 attacks. In fact, if there is anyone behind Al Qaeda, it was the Central Intelligence Agency, going back to the Soviet Afghan war”, Chossudovsky said.

And this latest court ruling is part of the plan, according to Chossudovsky.

“We are dealing with fabrications whereby a war agenda, which has been on the Pentagon’s drawing board for many years, is now seeking justification to go live ~ and we’ve seen the drone attacks, we’ve seen the sanctions.”

But why would the United States get involved in such a long-running, costly, dangerous ploy? The answer, according to the Canadian analyst, is simple.

“Because Iran has 10 per cent of the world’s oil reserves – four or five times the amount of the United States; it’s in a crucial region, it doesn’t accept US hegemony and it’s an ally of Russia and China.”

However, Chossudovsky told RT, the consequences of such a move could be disastrous.

“It could unleash a war which extends from the eastern Mediterranean right through to Central Asia to the Chinese border ~ and then we are in a World War III scenario.”

Jamal Abdi from the National Iranian American Council believes there is a campaign going on

“to ratchet up pressure for yet another US attack on a Middle Eastern country.”

“What we are seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process. This is exactly what we saw with Iraq. This is a campaign to go to war,” he told RT.

Abdi says he does not see any evidence that is particularly compelling that Iran had a direct role in 9/11.

“Immediately afterwards Iran condemned the attacks. There were candlelit vigils on the streets of Tehran in solidarity with the Americans who lost their lives,” he explained.

“You saw Iran cooperating with the United States in helping to topple the Taliban, the enemy of Iran.”

The verdict might be a part of a plan to invade Iran, believes Sabah Al-Mukhtar, the president of the Arab Lawyers Association. However, he doubts that the US has enough resources to do that at the moment.

“I don’t think [the US] has the force to do that or the economy to do that,” Al-Mukhtar said. “I think the USA is trying to extricate itself from Iraq and Afghanistan. I don’t think it is in a position to go into another country, and Iran is three times as big as Iraq.”

And California State University professor Paul Sheldon Foote told RT that the verdict is actually part of a campaign to demonize Iran.

“This is what we call a kangaroo court here in America. This is outrageous. Iran has no involvement in this whatsoever”, Foote said.
