These guys are getting really SLOPPY.

I think that for all the world to see it could not be more obvious that, after hefty military build up in the area by the US Military War Machine, this was a blatant and obvious attempt to attempt to immediately pin the blame on Iran in order to commence their highly sought war in the region.

As per an RT article on the matter, the incident which involved two “Japan-related” oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman just so happened to occur during Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's state visit to Iran meeting with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

More details and photos about the incident can be obtained from ZeroHedge - US Blames Iran For Tanker Attacks, Says Tehran "Trying To Interrupt Flow Of Oil".

Japan is a strong US ally and it appears that Abe was bringing a message from Trump to Iran - which was not well received.

Abe did state, however (and perhaps somewhat contradictively) that the purpose of his visit was to instill peace in the region, at least according to The New York Times Asia Pacific bureau.

It could also be possible that the US killed two birds with one stone by sending Abe a strong message to not become disloyal to their goals.

Whether Abe was sincere or was merely used as a pawn in this larger Middle East chess game remains difficult to accurately ascertain.

Regardless, Iran's Foreign Minister acutely describes the incident by stating it as ‘Suspicious doesn’t begin to describe what happened.

Meanwhile, US war hawk and former CIA Chief Mike Pompeo was very quick to state:

“It is the assessment by the United States government that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks that occurred in the Gulf of Oman today," - Source: CNN

He continued with more lies, but I will spare you the diatribe.

ADDENDUM: Just recall what he had said recently during a Q & A session at Texas A&M University:

Also, we need to consider the environmental consequences of such an event. Attacking oil tankers makes for particularly serious environmental damage, as hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil could be spilled into the gulf's waters. This is additional destruction that is certainly not needed.

It will be interesting to see how Russia, China, and also Japan respond to the incident in the coming days and how much pressure they may exert on the US to back off and show restraint.

We all know that the waning Petro-Dollar is playing a huge role in this event. And also that the banksters use such events to pump the price of oil which also keeps the stock market to its artificial, nose-bleed, highs. War is a racket.

More importantly though, most of the world knows what happened with the Gulf of Tonkin incident whereby the US staged and used it as a pretense for one of the most destructive wars in history - The Vietnam War. A war, to which I will add, more bombs were dropped on (Vietnam and the surrounding countries) that the totality of bombs that were dropped in all of WWII.

Do we really need another Vietnam?

Spread far and wide.

We need to stop the US Military-Industrial Complex & War Hawks from getting their ultimate prize in Iran.

Peace.

Who knew that world peace could have been achieved merely by the West unilaterally disarming and allowing Islamists and communists to ascend to the position of world powers? Democracy and freedom eventually end with the electorate voting to commit racial suicide. Humanism is a mental illness.

How do we stop global sleeper cells which are to be triggered post-strike?

Certainly something in the shadows to think about.

Well, my thoughts exactly.

Seven Reasons To Be Highly Skeptical Of The Gulf Of Oman Incident - an excellent piece by the very well researched and thorough Caitlin Johnstone showing better than I ever could how this is obviously a false flag perpetrated on the world by the usual suspects.

She has a knack for telling it like it really is. (altnernative link on ZeroHedge).

From the horse's mouth:

Former US Congressman Dr. Ron Paul summarizes the bogusness or sham that this false flag attempt was along with the lack of credibility in Pompeo and jugement in Trump:

Jerusalem Post: U.S. Bombing Of Iran "Will Be Massive But Will Be Limited To A Specific Target"

Alternate/Original link from Michael Snyder: original article

Bombing-Public-Domain-600x338.jpg

And the original Jerusalem Post article entitled U.N. officials: U.S. planning a 'tactical assault' in Iran - a quote from the article:

Diplomatic sources at the UN headquarters in New York revealed to Maariv that they are assessing the United States' plans to carry out a tactical assault on Iran in response to the tanker attack in the Persian Gulf on Thursday.

WWWHHHHAT? at the UN (United Nations)? Why the hell would anyone at the supposed "peaceful" organization of the UN be discussing military options???? WTF?

ADDENDUM:

When I wrote this article I presumed the main culprit was the US Military.

However, I failed to be a bit smarter about my assessment and should have posited the following:

Cui bono?

Who benenits from such an attack? Of course the US MIC does, but there are also others who would benefit (from starting a conflict with Iran). So I am adding them here along with how they would benefit:

  • Saudi Arabia: higher oil prices (their regime needs $100/barrel oil price just to break even)

  • UAE: higher oil prices

  • Israel: To draw the US into conflict with Iran - their archenemy and obstacle to their Greater Israel Plan which would geographically include regions of Iran. Israel assumes that the US and their military might always has their back and thus would expect them to defend their interests; in other words, it would be the US that would do their dirty work for them (as they have done on many previous occasions in the Middle East).

There could be others, but these are the main ones that would have benefited. Also, it is possible that any of these listed above could have worked complicity behind the scenes with the US, as it would be quite easy for US Intelligence to find out should they have acted alone in rogue fashion.

Nice analysis and video by Luke on the subject. Plus, I really like his choice of image, priceless!
