CNN shamelessly propagandizes Iranian rumors with same lies that preceded unlawful War of Aggression

by Carl Herman

The CNN headline: "U.S. official says intel suggests Iran plans to ship arms to Taliban," followed by the leading “information”:


These are lies by omission. When we now know that all claims for war with Iraq were known lies as they were told (and verbally explained here), and CNN provides similar innuendo from that war by an unsourced alleged report with concerns of what might occur in the future allegedly stated by an unnamed US source reporting on an unnamed foreign source, this is propaganda and not news.

An honest reporting of this dubious information would also have to include the facts that the US overthrew Iran’s democratically elected government from 1953 to 1979 and then unlawfully supported the armed attack and invasion of Iran from 1980 to 1988. Those two massive crimes killed up to a million Iranians. When the US lied to invade Iraq and lied to overthrow Iran’s government in a covert CIA operation (Operation Ajax), and then supported an unlawful war to overthrow their government again, honest reporting would have to begin with the assumption that history is the strongest argument of any information the US alleges. We should assume the US is lying now until proven otherwise by strong evidence.

"Our military was duped into these wars with calculated “Big Lies;” our trusting young men and women took an Oath to support and defend the US Constitution that supersedes the Nazi insert of “placing the mission first.” The Claus von Stauffenberg faction of US military and government must act to end this soulless mass-murdering; this loveless series of unlawful wars and unlawful orders, if we want a future we’re proud to build."

Remember, they were put on the map by Gulf War I. They now feel forever grateful to any new war-stoking overtures from Washington no matter who is in power.

Told by the Kuwaiti Ambassoador's daughter to Congress, repeated by CNN etc.

LIARS! Deadly liars.

No shit.

Interesting article!

Daily Censored does a great job of sorting things out and blasting those who deserve it.

Well, I know a guy who knows a guy too... unbelievable that any editor would go "double-plus sourceless" on a quote in a story. "Facts" that I store in my ass are more reliable...

The've got their head too far up their own asses...

Amazing isn't it? It's as bad as the time honored FAUX dodge, "some say..."

Yeah, we say that the MSM is, for the most part, a shill for the permanent majority party,
The Money Party

Even odds meaning 50/50. 50 percent chance it's Manucher Ghorbanifar, 50 percent chance it's Ahmed Chalabi.

Imagine a hostile power...say China (for shits and giggles) invades both Canada and Mexico. We're surrounded by a major military power on our borders...a power that previously invaded our country through the installation of a puppet king whose power was propped up by Chinese intel. How should the US react? Sit there and ignore what's going on? Submit to the demands of the Chinese that would be highly unpopular with the American people? Or do you try to stir up trouble for that invader and make their invasion costly in as many ways as possible?

I wouldn't be surprised if Iran is funneling weapons across their borders...just as this country flooded Pakistan with weapons in the 70s and 80s that were used to tie down and eventually defeat the Soviets. Our corporate media lives in a bubble world of American exceptionalism and how the US has a say in every event in the world regardless of history or culture. I call it "American Myopia" and is on display constantly on all American networks.

They were backers of the Northern Alliance before we were.

...know this is just a game we play with Iran. They do the same thing in their "news."

As the saying goes, "Nobody like a liar."
