US Foreign Policy & the Deceitful Presentation of our ‘War on Terrorism’ & of Iran in Iraq & Syria as a Prelude to War
Bringing Light Into Darkness continues to bring forth the ‘light’ of concrete examples of the fact that what we are told or led to believe about our “adversaries” by our government and the mainstream media which fails us, are so often untruths and misrepresentations. Dr Muhammad Sahimi leads a discussion on the recent misrepresentations surrounding the assassination of General Qatem Soleimani in January 2020 as well as the ‘rationale’ used by the Biden Administration for June 2021 airstrikes. Current considerations regarding Iran’s nuclear behavior in response to US unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA are presented that contradict the MSM led image making that it is Iran that is acting outside of international legal expectations.
Is our foreign policy actions towards Iran about provoking a response that would give us an excuse to attack Iran or is it based on reasonable diplomatic expectations from both sides? Was General Soleimani deserving of being assassinated as a war enemy of the United States or was it an act of State Terrorism? Would a closer understanding of the truth reveal Soleimani instead as a national hero of Iran whose military strategic skills were invited to come to Iraq to help Iraq deal with an impending takeover of ISIS as well as help to train Shiite militias from Pakistan and Afghanistan to help fight terrorist forces fighting the Syrian government on behalf of US foreign policy interests ? The history of the creation of the Taliban and the Mujahedin by US has its roots with our relationship with Shah of Iran and their ruthless SAVAK intelligence arm. Is it true we created the very terrorist forces of al qaeda and the Taliban that most Americans believe we are so committed to defeat? What Senate testimony did Hillary Clinton testify to that further confirms the Untied States complicity in the very terrorism we all deplore? Our well informed and studied guest, Dr. Muhammad Sahimi provides an array of important insights and reminds us why if you want to get much closer to the truth you are well-advised to tune into Bringing Light Into Darkness every Monday night at 6-7pm CST on 91.7 FM in Austin Texas and through koop.org on the worldwide web, if you do not want to be played by our major media again and again.
