Judging from the evidence, pretty dumb. Our recent issue
listed two salient reasons why the U.S. government in all its munificence chose
to target assassinate Iran’s second in command, Qassem Soulemani, as well as
other Iranian and Iraqi top functionaries.
It made no difference that Soulemani was on a peace mission to Iraq at
the time, if anything, peace is a deterrent to U.S. “interests.” We listed two probabilities:
that the attack came because Soulemani had been a successful adversary of ISIS
and Daesh, both U.S. funded proxy armies destabilizing the Middle East, and
that the Great Cheeto used the attack to guarantee his future election(s) as in
“You can ‘t change a horse in the middle
of the Stream.” We might also have listed the attack as a distraction to
downplay ongoing impeachment proceedings in the Congress.

Underwear marathon
How deplorably wrong we were. How sadly mistaken to suppose that the U.S. government made determinations from a rational point of view when the evidence points to something much simpler: the burning desire by some in high government places to hasten the Rapture. In case readers are baffled (or hold vestigial beliefs in separation of church and state) the Rapture is defined as a kind of marathon wherein the last trumpet acts as the start gun and the chosen (prominently among them are the very same high government functionaries) defy the laws of physics to be swept (decently clad in their underwear) into heaven’s high portals.
As #45 chief influencer in Iranian matters, we draw your attention to Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. We refer to one of a number
of articles, this one appearing in The N.Y. Times of March 30,
2019. Reporter Edward Wong refers to
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s evangelical Christian orientation. Just back
from his swing through the New Jerusalem (the U.S. engineered relocation of
Israel’s capital) heady from visiting the grounds where Christ was supposed to
have been crucified and buried, Mr. Pompeo held forth.
Asked if #45 had been “raised for such a time as this,” Mr. Pompeo replied without hesitation: "As a Christian(sic) I certainly believe that’s possible.” And when Mr. Pompeo talks about keeping Israel safe from victimization he refers to it as “a never-ending struggle until the Rapture." Evidently there will be territorial gains associated with the Rapture as well, according to Mr. Pompeo. One of his initiatives was to rid Israel of a diplomatic consulate in Jerusalem for Palestinians, and merging its work into that of the new embassy.
And to keep our readers in the know, just before leaving for
Kuwait, Mr. Pompeo hosted a conference call with just “faith-based” media,
excluding other journalists who cover the State Department, which refused to
say who was on the call, or release a transcript of it, not unlike the Great
Cheeto’s latest move to meet
with Saudi officials secretly to talk about Iran.
