EDITORS—Contrary to Western propaganda, Iran’s missile barrage on Oct 2 was highly successful in getting probably the majority of its payloads through the supposedly impregnable “Iron Dome” and other Zionist AD assets.

EDITORS—That US new media are pure propaganda sheets is evidenced by the fact that they routinely call Putin a dictator even though his power comes from free elections, and that they routinely call the Axis of Resistance terrorists even though terrorists and resistors are two entirely different kinds of groups.
After thorough indoctrination for an entire lifetime, it is doubtful that the average news consumer in the west even thinks twice about these deliberate perversions of the truth, accepting them as Gospel.
If we were to be honest with ourselves we would realize that a country that supports Nazis is hardly free of Nazi ideology and a country that supports genocidal murderers is hardly free of the deep-seated will to kill entire ethnic or religious groups.

RAMIN MAZAHERI—Telling the tale [about the Iran missile attack] properly the day after is the work known as “journalism”: journalism is the history of yesterday, after all. It’s not easy, but are Western journalists not doing the work here, or are they wilfully lying?
That’s a real question, because any decent journalist today (and any average citizen who wishes to be well-informed) knows the modern media landscape requires examining three areas where news can now be found: the MSM, the alternative media and social media.
On social media there’s no lack of videos which show Iranian missiles striking land time and time again.

EDITORS—HIGHLIGHT: Given the huge size and number of the “bunker busters” used to flatten a whole residential area in Beirut to kill Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, the general supposition is now that this attack was made possible by the participation of US/NATO warplanes. The Western media has kept almost totally mum about this story.
Garland and Laith dissect the literally explosive situation in the Middle East, and how the rise of an increasingly well armed resistance impacts and complicates the global politics of US imperialism. Laith and Garland concur that this will likely be a long war, similar to the Algerian war of liberation, or the Vietnam War. Liberation wars don’t come cheap in terms of lives and infrastructure lost. As well, the team discusses how a Mideast war may affect the politics throughout the West, precipitating huge economic and political shifts in Europe, the US and Japan. As a result of a war in the ME pushing oil prices sky-high, Laith and Garland visualise the possibility of enormous disruptions in the imperial core itself, obligating (or providing the opportunity to) the ruling establishment to declare Martial Law, suspend elections, assassinate Trump, or implement other shifts and extreme policies across the globe.

ERIC ZUESSE—[Quoting]—The Zionist entity is invading Lebanon – again. All earlier such invasions have ended in failure. Zionist troops had to retreat under fire. The current invasion is unlikely to see a better fate.
The Izzies, and their U.S. sponsors, are delirious over their perceived success in killing a number of Hizbullah officials including its leader, Sayed Hassan Nasrallah.
Don’t they understand that Hizbullah has explicitly been built in ways that allow it to sustain such losses? All the murdered officials have already been replaced. If these new ones get killed their replacements are ready.
Before last week the war between the resistance was restricted to an (unequal) exchange of missiles. Israel fired many more than the resistance but not to more effect. The nature of that slow walking war of attrition will now change.
An Israeli ground invasion is exactly what Hizbullah has prepared for. It has readied its ambush sites. Its weapons and the people need to launch them are down in their well prepared bunkers.
The invading forces will be subjected to all kind of surprises. The ground troops are expected to proceed only after heavy preparatory bombing. But the mountainous grounds will allow the defenders to survive the bombing and to attack when and where they are least suspected. I do expect heavy military casualties but mostly on the attacker’s side.
This war will likely go on for several months. It could easily extend into a years long and much larger conflict.
