M.I.C./Wall Street "LOGIC": The economy is in the tank and the people want a populist president!  The Russians are wining in Syria.  The Iranians gave their nuke stuff to the Russians so we can't scare loyal patriotic Americans into forcing us  ;D to bomb them by branding Iranians as Terrorist Atomic Ayatollas. Argh!   And those sneaky Iranians are starting to get visited by container ships! This is a catastrophe! Our military budget and our Wall Street Fascist Friends are BOTH in BIG trouble! .....
I guess it's time for the old "Remember the Maine/Gulf of Tonkin" Trick.   ;) 


U.S. Navy Says Video Shows Iranian Navy Firing Rockets Near Warships in Strait of Hormuz

Agelbert  Note;
Don't you just love how quotation marks are so cleverly used? Those propagandists know their properganda Just take the first paragraph and add a few quotation marks in places like, uh, e.g. --- "near" warship"s" "in the Strait of Hormuz", etc.   

Works every time! SUCKERS!   
 





The video never shows the aircraft carrier, and it cannot get the frigate and the tanker and the Iranian vessels in the same frame, even when at 11,000 yards range.  The rockets are clearly not being fired AT the tanker or anything else.  At worst they are fired parallel to the tanker's track and in the opposite direction, if anything, away from the tanker.  "only 23 minutes of advance notification of its intention to fire rockets" means they WERE given notice, and could have been at least 7 nautical miles further away, if they were the least bit worried.

The aircraft carrier and the frigate were gate-crashing the Iranians' test, to get a better look, and to complain about it afterwards.

All shipping in the shipping lanes have to pass through Iranian territorial waters, and have to ask permission to do so. 
US @ 0600: Iranian Shipping Transit Authority, this is USS Truman and party requesting permission to transit." 
ISTA @ 0600: There will be a sea-to-sea missile firing test from 0620 to 0630 at 26.355°N 54.991°W into the NE quadrant.  Please proceed with caution." 
US: "Thank you, understood. Out."

Hardly news, is it? - not compared to the world-shatteringly tragic news of the death of David Bowie, pop and fashion icon of the 20th century anyway.  Not to mention flying a "nuclear-capable" B-52 over South Korea 4 days after the nuclear test, just to show the North Koreans "We mean business."


Of course it is cheap propaganda. But most Americans will swallow it if repeated enough. Don't you remember the Bin Laden videos (that turned out to be fake)? They got over a trillion dollars of war profiteering out of THAT!
