So, the Epstein files are "start a war with Iran" bad

@michelestrider

The attack on Iran is more than just file related. This sort of shit’s been in the works for years and years.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider The attack, yes. The timing? I'm guessing it is pretty related.

@inspired @michelestrider

Yes, and no. The agenda of the super rich has been to consolidate their grip on power and to aggressively take resources. These are the kinds of governments. They can never back down or show weakness, and they always have to engage in aggression in order to keep their own momentum. Going forward.

The deep and popularity surrounding the files are a factor, but we have so many other ones and play that includes the economy as well as their war on the American public.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider Yes there are other near-term factors that also affected the timing. I guess my point could be better summed up as: "Why strike Iran?" Mostly the reasons you cite. "Why now?" All sorts of unrelated reasons completely unrelated to the situation vis-a-vis the US and Iran.

@inspired @GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider

Part of it may be about pre-empting internal revolution, to try to stop the people of Iran from achieving self-determination or actual freedom.

I wonder if somebody thinks they can just keep toggling Iran back and forth between a corrupt monarchy and a corrupt theocracy every few decades. Every time one gets bad enough people start to remember the other fondly. Always trying to rewind.

@violetmadder Thought you meant in the US at the outset there.

@Daniel_Blake

Well, yes. All this helps with that, too.

Soon as another 9/11 hits they'll try to use the next round of the Patriot Act to eviscerate any remaining traces of freedom or democracy here. They'll false flag it if needed.
