Why the US imperialists will start a war with Iran right after the 2020 US presidential election

by system failure

Even before 2016 US presidential election we were arguing in this blog that Donald Trump is only the reserve of the establishment, a necessity solution. The first signs, right after his election, were indicating that we were right. Trump literally hired Goldman Sachs to run the economy and immediately authorized further tax-cuts for the super-rich, contrary to his pre-election rhetoric.

Then, things got even worse by hiring some of the most bloodthirsty neocons in key positions. Trump's 'anti-establishment' facade was rapidly collapsing as he was  starting to move towards the US deep state agenda. In fact, the only card left to play was that of his alleged 'anti-interventionism'. Yet, he succumbed further to the US pro-war cabal by bombing Syria, without even waiting to see some evidence about Assad's alleged chemical attacks against civilians. 

Beyond that, he continued Obama's awful legacy regarding the war in Yemen, by arming Saudis and providing military support for their war crimes.

Even in his pre-election campaigns, Trump was rhetorically attacking Iran, a key player in the Middle East and longtime primary target of the US imperialism. Then, he hired John Bolton, one of the most sinister figures of the neocon gang, whose biggest 'wet dream' was to start a war with Iran at least since 2003. And, despite that Trump eventually fired him, it seems that he follows his plan to the letter.

So, the first thing Trump did to clear the way for the imperialists towards Iran, was to destroy the Iran nuclear deal. Without any reasonable excuse, Trump killed a deal that seemed to be working, and managed to dissatisfy even some of the closest US allies who were happy with it.

Then, he did the unimaginable thing to authorize the assassination of a top Iranian military official, who was also a leading figure of the fight against ISIS islamofascists.

Trump's latest decision was not only unprecedented. It was taken in a time conveniently close to the 2020 US presidential election, permitting the US warhawks to achieve a maximum escalation with Iran right when they needed one. 

So, the hyper-impulsive and easily-maneuverable Trump did exactly what they wanted. Even without any false flag operations, we are already now at the point of no-return. The bloodthirsty imperialists managed to put again the explosive fuel at the heart of the Middle East. The slightest spark will be enough to help them start another, even more disastrous war, at the time they will choose. And this would be definitely right after the 2020 US presidential election.

But why right after the 2020 election?

First of all, a war with Iran before the election would be the utter disaster for neocons' plans. It would not only mean the political ending of Donald Trump (this is the only reason he didn't start a war after the Iranian retaliation). It would also boost the popularity of any anti-war progressive who would most likely become the next US president, as the tired-from-endless-wars Americans would vote for him/her massively. And in the midst of the unprecedented chaos because of the war, this president would have all the popular support to end it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the US deep state would have to take the risk of some extreme solutions. Like, for example, an 'emergency situation' plan on the pretext of the war, in order to postpone the election and, at the same time, extent Trump's presidency. With all the chaos and the rising popular anger, the whole country would soon be getting into 'uncharted waters'.

So, the imperialists will probably start a war with Iran as soon as possible after the 2020 presidential election. They will rush to do it because they don't want to give Iran enough time to build nuclear weapons. Right now, Donald Trump is the most convenient solution because he is still quite popular among his supporters. And he will not hesitate to follow the war schedule as he knows that he can't have a third term.

But even an 'expendable' corporate Democrat would be quite easily maneuverable by the US deep state. Any establishment candidate is now unwilling to use pro-war rhetoric because they see the rising popularity of Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard. Yet, the deep state won't find difficult to drag any weak establishment Democrat into another war, by orchestrating some typical false flag operations.

We can only guess that the deep state has scheduled to start a war with Iran sometime between the mid February and mid March of 2021.

What's also quite remarkable is that, after all the evidence, many people insist to support Trump because they still believe that he tries to avoid war. They can't realize that re-elected or not, he is already responsible for any future major conflict with Iran, because as we saw, he has significantly contributed to bring us to this point of no-return. Trump already did an enormous damage.

Now, only the American people can stop this absolutely disastrous war. The voters have certainly quite restricted options, but we see that Sanders' popularity is rising fast. It's not enough. People must vote massively for him to the point that the establishment will be impossible to rig the Democratic primaries, or the final presidential battle.

But even if the miracle happens and Bernie becomes the next US president, it won't be enough. He will also receive an enormous pressure to lean towards the deep state agenda. This is why he has to fill his administration with as many strong progressives as possible. And he has to purge neocons and Israeli lobbyists from all the key positions through rapid and decisive moves. Progressives would then be able το form not a war, but an anti-war cabinet to save the US and the world from an unprecedented Armageddon.

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...
