Black-and-white footage and still photographs released by the U.S. military’s Central Command on Friday appear to show that a limpet mine, a type of naval mine attached to a target by magnets, was used on the Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous oil ship.
Did Iran carry out this provocation or was it a Deep State false flag?
From the Gulf of Tonkin to September 11th to staged chemical attacks in Syria covert forces deeply entrenched in the U.S. establishment have long staged and cajoled events to further the agenda of global balkanization and hegemony.
Many have assumed that the smoldering ships in the shallow waters between Iran and the Gulf States represent more of the same – and who can blame them?
On the surface it doesn’t make sense that Iran would deliberately provoke the world’s predominant military power into a kinetic conflict it cannot win, especially when that power already has it out for their Islamic regime.
Watch below as Dr. Ron Paul makes just this argument:
Steven DeNoon of Israeli News Live and Rick Wiles of TruNews both made similar points yesterday.
With all due respect to Dr. Paul, DeNoon and Wiles TLB believes that Iran may indeed be the culprit after all.
Firstly Iran threatened to sink ships in the Persian Gulf region if the U.S. proceeded with sanctions.
So if someone threatens to do something and then that something then happens, is it not reasonable to wonder if the someone just made good on their threats?
Plus the U.S. has perpetrated so many false flags in the past that it actually gives Iran plausible deniability.
The question of cui bono (who benefits) has been asked many times since yesterday’s attacks, with the implicit answer being that Iran doesn’t stand to benefit thus they are not likely responsible. However, the question itslef assumes that Iran is operating with the same goals and objectives that are traditional in the West – namely to prevail politically, economically and militarily.
But as previously mentioned, such assumptions may very well be erroneous. Iran surely knows that they will lose a military confrontation with the United States (and presumably Israel, the U.K., France and Saudi Arabia), but winning such a hot war is not likely their endgame.
Their goal is the economic destruction of the American Empire, the elimination of the petro dollar, and the sabotage of America’s decadent way of life. The mad mullahs of Tehran are apocalyticists and they are absolutely willing to martyr their nation state if by doing so they can bring about the last days and hasten the appearing of their Islamic Messiah the Mahdi.
Iran may be trying to goad the U.S. into a military response so that it can respond by unleashing unconventional assymetric warfare around the globe. Tehran may be able to succeed in sinking an American battleship, closing the Strait of Hormuz, activating sleeper cells in cities around the world including New York and London, launching cyber attacks, setting off truck bombs, and even sinking cargo ships in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.
War appears to be in the cards, although don’t be surprised if it is September or October before birds are in the air so-to-speak.
