Worth Noting

Positive elements

I'm cautiously optimistic. Unless he puts boots on the ground, then he's going to lose me. We'll see for now. Um I just don't get what liberals don't get about liberation. I see so much happiness. I see it in Venezuela. I see it here in Iran. Um could we skip the part where we talk about, oh, they had so many different reasons for going to war, regime change, and we got to get rid of the nukes and they were supporters of terrorism. It's all of it. How about this? This was a fascist theocracy and nothing in the Middle East was ever going to get better while they were still there [ __ ] everything up. >> Look at all the liberation in Venezuela. Really? Venezuelans are celebrating in the street because they have been liberated. All I saw was a two-hour military operation, a snatch and grab, which was coordinated on the inside by a backstabbing vice president, apparently, Dulce Rodriguez, where she basically handed over on a silver platter Maduro and his wife. Everything that Maduro had built and all of his vast empire are all still in place. And then, of course, we get into all the things that they're this theocratic regime and they're this terrible people. And and then economy just waves off all the things. It's not just the nuclear weapons. It's not just the missiles. It's it's kind of all that, but s really it gets down to the fact that they have a governing philosophy we don't like. So, let's just go kill them and just drive them out and then liberate those people. Like, well, I guess you're going to liberate their oil, too. But they're all saying, "We want our own selves to have our own government, our own leadership, and we'll be the ones that are going to do it. Nobody's going to force it on us from the outside." But Bill Maher doesn't care about that. Kelsea Ras doesn't care about that. Apparently, President Trump at all all these people, merchants of death, all they want is an asset. They don't care how many people die in the process to get it.

Video description

This shows its not just the Admin that lusts for war... Here Bill Maher @billmaher exposes how he falls for the rhetoric that these wars have been about "liberation" of oppressed peoples, by claiming the Venezuelans are free and happy today. Uh... You realize, right Mr. Maher, that there was no REGIME change in Venezuela, only the exchange of the leader from Maduro to Rodriguez. The entire rest of the corrupt, oppressive regime and all its supporters and enablers are still fully in place. That operation was about securing seizure of the Venezuelan oil production, and nothing more. This massive effort to bring war to the entire Middle East over Iran is likewise not about 'freedom' or the protection of protesters. It's not even about long range missiles or an alleged nuclear weapons program (and by the way, the odds are now through the roof that they are now racing to a bomb beyond our ability to obesrve or monitor; we are likely pushing them to do what we claim to have sought to prevent: getting a nuclear bomb). It's about destroying the Iranian regime, replacing it with one of our choosing (Trump's words, not mine), and about seizing control of Iranian oil. That's the ugly truth, and people like Mr. Maher are useful tools to spread the fiction that its about human rights and freedom.
