In the video clip from Foxbelow, Bill Kristol advocates US military attack on Iran because he predicts that Israel will attack Iran. This is propaganda for an unlawful war for the following “emperor has no clothes” obvious reasons. Fox “reporting” is also a manipulative variation of the same war drone I’ve documented from CBS, ABC, and CNN.
- The US-created treaty of the UN legally forbids armed attack unless a nation’s government is attacking the US or there is imminent threat of attack. IAEA confirms all of Iran’s nuclear material is used for legal energyand medical isotopes; there is no threat of an attack from Iran. Therefore, US military attack is an unlawful War of Aggression; the worst crime a nation can commit, and in violation of US treaty and the US Constitution. All US military have an oath to support and defend the US Constitution and trained to refuse unlawful orders. Those with authority are obligated to arrest those who issue unlawful orders. The end of Wars of Aggression is the victory of all Americans who sacrificed in WW2. Fox allows Mr. Kristol’s advocacy of unlawful war and rejection of this victory for peace. Fox’s lie of omission to not discuss the laws of war is not accidental; it is war propaganda. This is indeed an “emperor has no clothes” obvious observation because the laws of lawful or unlawful war are the most important for a nation to follow and should be the context of war discussion.
- Israel cannot legally attack Iran for the same reasons. The US is legally obligated by the UN Charter treaty created by the US to prevent Israel from engaging in war. Fox’s lie of omission of this point is obviously intentional. Professional news analysts are not stupid enough to be ignorant of the central law in question, but they’re hoping a critical mass of Americans are that stupid.
- The US and Israel claim that Iran’s President Ahmadinejad threatened to physically harm Israel is a lie of commission; verifiable in a few minutes by anyone who reads his October 2005 speech. Mr. Ahmadinejad advocates Palestinian persistence for their civil and political rights from Israel’s government and predicts the Israeli government, like the US-imposed dictator Shah Pahlavi in Iran, the USSR, and Saddam’s Iraq, will fall from their unlawful and immoral oppression of Palestinians. The content and context of the speech are as crystal-clear as my one-sentence summary. Because two nations and all corporate media lie about one nation making a military threat to destroy another, this is “emperor has no clothes” obvious propaganda. And yes, I’m repeating this phrase in hope that this realization of the obvious will become, well, obvious.
- We now know from all disclosed evidence by our own government that all US claims for war with Iraq were not only false, but known to be false at the time they were told because the claims were at least as ridiculous as the above claims. For Fox to lie by omission to not remind the audience that the US is still in a war based on lies and therefore the audience should be highly critical of all current US “official claims” for war is not accidental but propaganda. A professional news agency is supposed to do this analysis for Americans, not omit it and echo the same paper-thin lies.
- Fox lies by omission that history is the most likely predictor of the present. With Iran, the US engaged in the unlawful and lying CIA Operation Ajax to overthrow Iran’s democratically-elected government from 1953 to 1979, imposing a vicious oil-friendly dictator. When Iran achieved their freedom from this tyranny and refused further US dictatorship, the US directly supported their then oil-friendly vicious dictator Saddam to attack and invade Iran from 1980 to 1988 (and reneged their legal obligation to prevent unlawful Wars of Aggression through the UN Security Council). These actions mass-murdered up to a million Iranians. Fox lies by omission to not raise the obvious question: are the current lies of a non-existent nuclear weapon threat and lie of President Ahmadinejad’s speech to foment another US-imposed dictatorship of Iran?
- Fox lies by omission about CIA disclosure in the Church Senate Committee hearings of Operation Mockingbird: the placement of over 400 CIA assets inside corporate media to propagandize Americans with whatever reporting necessary to manipulate public opinion for policy support. Of course, Fox is corporate media; and of course, this list of “emperor has no clothes” obvious propaganda from Fox is prima facie evidence that Fox conspires with today’s versions of Operation Mockingbird.
- Because current wars and threat of war with Iran are unlawful, Fox lies by omission in failing to observe the US Constitution is abandoned and the US is therefore no longer a constitutional republic in its operation. Every high school graduate learns the American ideals of limited government UNDER the law with nobody above the law in context of unalienable rights for all human beings. When government under law and unalienable rights isn’t practiced, we “emperor has no clothes” obviously observe that the US government must be called something else. Every student learns a more fitting name for our type of government in practice: fascism. For Fox to lie by omission of this high school-level of fundamental understanding of our government is again not because they’re too stupid. Fox, in their obvious propaganda to supplant fascism for the US under the Constitution that you prefer, hopes you’re too stupid to see what’s happening in reality and that empty propaganda is enough to earn your unthinking obedience and tax-paying labor to support.
- Finally, Fox lies by omission in failure to mention the only crime defined in the US Constitution because of its central importance in keeping America from the internal attack and subjugation imagined and forewarned by the Founding Fathers: treason. When “leaders” of both parties levy war on US soldiers by unlawfully invading them into foreign lands, this is the cause of our soldiers’ deaths and harm, not the foreign nations’ acting in lawful self-defense. This levying of war AGAINST the US and Constitution is treason. This, again, is “emperor has no clothes” obvious and not an innocent mistake by a professional news organization.
