China Loves Iran So There! By James Reed

     China does not care what the US thinks about Iran, but is pressing ahead with normal relations with them, and to hell with America, because capitalism is not going to be put aside for any conspiratorial war:

     The narrative that the Japanese tanker was hit by a mine, and then Iran went back to the scene of the crime like serial killers often do, is just plain stupid, and is at the Trump level of stupid. The video is so low quality that it looks like something someone cooked up in their backyard, compared to the high-quality kill videos from drones that Obama used to show at White House dinner parties. Why didn’t the drone blow up the small boat? If the drone was unarmed, then the boat could have been attacked by missiles. Or, navy SEALS or some other form of combat fish, could have apprehended the boat instead of letting them get away. Why is there no video of the bombs being placed, if the US has a video of the bomb that did not go off getting collected? The bomb was recovered because it was a trace to the US of course.

     Even Japan is not going with Trump’s false flag. It was reported in the New York Times that the operator of the tanker said that a flying object hit the tanker, not a mine, which is puzzling since why the issue of the mine, whether it was retrieved by Iran, in the US narrative, or it was from the US, as in the good guys conspiratorial analysis? Was there overkill by use of two mines, or did the mine fail to go off, so that a missile had to be used as a plan B? Something is highly suspicious even if one does not go for the conspiracy view. Even the normies are doubtful about this one, so somewhere there was a major foul up. Yet another Weapons of Mass Destruction adventure no doubt. It is hard to think of a more poorly executed false flag, which leads me to think that Trump the Numb and Jared the Dumb must have dreamt this one up themselves. It has their seal of infinite stupidity, not being even able to get a false flag right.

“The owner of a Japanese tanker attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday has offered a different account of the nature of the attack than that provided by the United States. Yutaka Katada, president of Kokuka Sangyo, said the Filipino crew of the Kokuka Courageous thought their vessel had been hit by flying objects rather than a mine. The incident in the Gulf of Oman has compounded the already simmering hostilities in what’s possibly the world’s most pivotal maritime corridor. "The crew are saying it was hit with a flying object. They say something came flying towards them, then there was an explosion, then there was a hole in the vessel," he told reporters. "Then some crew witnessed a second shot." The United States said the vessel was attacked by limpet mines, and released a video that it said showed an Iranian vessel removing an unexploded mine from one of the ships. But Katada offered an alternative version of how the events unfolded. "To put a bomb on the side is not something we are thinking," he said. "If it's between an explosion and a penetrating bullet, I have a feeling it is a penetrating bullet. If it was an explosion, there would be damage in different places, but this is just an assumption or a guess." On Thursday, company officials said the vessel, which had been carrying methanol from Saudi Arabia to Singapore, had first been hit by what appeared to be an artillery shell toward the stern, causing a fire in the engine room which they had been able to extinguish. Three hours later, the ship was again attacked on the same side in the center of the hull, at which point the captain felt it was no longer safe and ordered the crew to take to the life boats, officials said. "When the shell hit, it was above the water surface by quite a lot," Katada said on Friday. "Because of that there is no doubt that it wasn't a torpedo."

     We all miss the good old days of 9/11 when there was a bit more sophistication involved, giving a lot of good detective work to our side. Now we only need to read the mainstream media to see the narrative fall apart. Even those tearing everything down, are also falling apart! Still, I suppose that the general population is so dumbed down now that it does not matter.
