“I want to kill someone today & it might be you"
"They wrenched my trousers & underwear down & I was raped by one of the soldiers"
"Other people had guns inserted inside them"
"My daughter was syringed with an unknown substance"
Juliet Lamont's Gaza Flotilla testimony:
Reminder: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the rich people in the world are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.
More than 70 years ago, Iran looked like many Western countries, with mini skirts and rock & roll music.
In 1951, Iranians had democratically elected a socialist leader, Mohammad Mossadegh who nationalised Iran’s oil industry, challenging the dominance of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.
Barely two years later, the US and UK orchestrated Operation Ajax that overthrew Mossadegh.
In his place, they installed Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, a Shah who ruled as an autocrat. His regime relied on the feared security service SAVAK and widespread political repression. This made Iran an obedient client state of the West.
Iranians hated the Shah and by the late 1970s, all opposition inside Iran coalesced around Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini who had been exiled and who promised independence and justice. In 1979, the Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah.
Soon after, Saddam Hussein invaded Iran, launching the Iran-Iraq War, a conflict that lasted eight years and cost over a million lives. The US supported Iraq with intelligence and chemical weapons.
In 1988, the US shot down Iran Air Flight 655, killing 290 civilians. After the shootdown, members of the crew of the ship that shot down the airliner received service awards for their deployment in the Persian Gulf.
The ship’s captain was awarded the Legion of Merit, while several crew members received Navy Commendation Medals and other standard decorations.
For many Iranians, this became another scar.
Fast forward to now: The US and Israel bomb Iran and the West is quick to “Stand with Israel” and demand “regime change”.
Western officials speak about how Iranians “deserve freedom”, but there’s no mention of the 1953 coup they engineered or the brutal autocrat they propped up for a quarter of a century. They say nothing about Saddam Hussein’s invasion they armed or the 47 years of sanctions and sabotage that has destroyed ordinary people’s lives.
The Americans impoverished the people of Iran and now they point to the suffering as proof the nation must be destroyed.
Day 1 of the war and Israel already did a terror attack on a girl's school killing at least 51 children. What will it take to get people to understand that Netanyahu & Trump are creating the 4th reich? The shadow government of pedophile billionaires running the world are completely unhinged.
The US is gearing up to literally starve Cuba into submission. It is absolutely criminal and obscene. And this to a country that everyone knows poses *zero* threat to the US.
The people of Cuba need our full solidarity in resisting this onslaught.
Everyone's watching Mad Men, so let me just say.
Glen is Betty's victim.
Betty isn't just some victim of patriarchy.
She preys on this vulnerable young boy.
It's kind of not complicated at all, & I hate so much of the fandom for acting like Glen, the CHILD, is the problem.
YouTube deleted all my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account.
No community guidelines violated & 3 separate excuses given to me. Then Google deleted my email & won’t respond to appeals.
the genocidal Zionist war criminal Dick Cheney is dead, but his crimes should never be forgotten. They include firing depleted uranium shells into Fallujah, still causing babies to be born with deformities and cancer. He then endorsed Kamala Harris which she gleefully touted
The fact that Dick Cheney died of old age, free and probably surrounded by family, is a disgrace that this country will never escape. He made the world we now live in and suffered zero consequences. He won. We lost.
Motherfuckers that scroll past videos of dead Palestinian babies daily and justify snipers shooting Palestinian youths in the head are about to tell you you shouldn’t be celebrating death right now lmao FUCK EM
