Dan Kovalik is another person to whom I always pay attention. He is a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh Law School, as well as an active
labor and human rights attorney.
A peace activist and prolific author, his most recent book is The Plot to Attack Iran: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Iran. I have read many of his articles and just ordered the book for myself.
The independent, investigative journalist, Abby Martin, recently interviewed Kovalik to get his perspective on the recent US assassination of Qassam Soleimani.
I strongly encourage you to watch this YouTube video of their conversation.
It is must see viewing for Americans who are in desperate need of a strong
antidote to the barrage of Establishment propaganda shoveled out by every corporate news company in the USA.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Kovalik and Martin expose the long history of unprovoked American aggression against the Iranian people.
Beginning with the CIA coup that overthrew Iran’s democratically elected president in 1953, Kovalik shows how the US is continuing to lie about (1) Iran’s “quest” for nuclear weapons, (2) Iran’s fictional role as “the world’s largest exporter of state-sponsored terrorism”, and (3) Iran’s “continued attacks” against “innocent” Americans.
In 2013, the CIA publicly confessed its responsibility for the 1953 overthrow of the Iranian government, which we toppled in order to regain control (together with Great Britain) over Iran’s oil resources.
You can read the CIA confession and all the details here in the National Security Archives.
Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
America continues its efforts to lie, cheat, and steal its way into controlling Iranian resources again.
And our government, together with all its mindless, media minions, will continue to lie, lie, lie and then lie some more in its efforts to brainwash the public, bedazzling us into stupefied silence — or better yet, heart-felt. patriotic approval — when our bloodthirsty government finally unleashes the savage dogs of war.
DON’T FALL FOR IT!
Christians, you are citizens of the kingdom of God, first! Your membership in the American body politic is nothing compared with this spiritual truth. Your #1 loyalty is to the resurrected Jesus of Nazareth.
He is the Redeemer who calls us to embrace truth not lies, and peace,not war.
If you claim to be a follower of Jesus, then understand that in this moment every Christian’s motto must be:
No War With Iran!
