The Way Some "Journalists" Report "News," Is As If They Don't Know That Trump Is A Ludicrous Liar

 Regarding Iran, Trump says patently absurd things, things that are obviously false, which Iran immediately denies, denials which aren't even necessary because the lies are so transparent and absurd on their faces, and then the "reporters" say the situation is "confused," "unclear," "muddled," there are "contradictory messages" or "mixed messages" out there.

For example, Trump just claimed he got "everything" from Iran, that they agreed "they will never have a nuclear weapon," and "the Strait [of Hormuz] is open." Even as he also said that the U.S. blockade continues! Does Trump know what the word "open" means? (Iran announced that since the U.S. still blockades Iranian ports- an act of war, by the way- that they were continuing to control passage, requiring paying for ships they will allow through.) And if Trump got "everything," if Iran in effect surrendered, the question is: Why has Trump ordered more U.S. military forces speeding to the region, from as far away as the Western Pacific, where U.S. forces are stationed to back up Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, and from the U.S. and Europe? (Any reporter who asks risks being told they are "very stupid" and "a terrible reporter and a terrible person" who "works for a failing" news organization, instead of getting an answer.)

Trump claims Israel is perfectly free to continue to devastate Lebanon. Israel has blown up all the bridges connecting southern Lebanon to the rest of the country. It has depopulated the south, driving out over one million people, people who it then bombs in the streets of Beirut and other cites, where they live in tents, using the warplanes and ordnance provided by the U.S. to slice their bodies into pieces of mangled flesh. Gruesome photos of the mangled bodies and body parts of the victims of the U.S./Israel shouldn't be necessary to stoke outrage. Telling you should be enough.

Using the armored Caterpillar bulldozers specially built for them by that U.S. corporation, the Israeli army is turning the villages they violently depopulated into rubble. Top Israeli officials are saying it is time to annex southern Lebanon into Israel, as Israel has done with the Golan Heights, seized from Syria, and is preparing to do in Gaza and the West Bank, in both of which the Israelis are violently squeezing the survivors into smaller and smaller areas. In Syria Israel is advancing farther into the country to take more territory.

Iran "claims" (that's media parlance) that the current ten day "ceasefire" with the U.S./Israel includes a ceasefire in Lebanon. The Trump regime says, Not So. The mediators between Iran and the U.S., the Pakistanis, who are in an excellent position to know what WAS agreed to since all communications between Iran and the U.S. to each other were passed through them, say Lebanon WAS INCLUDED.  So there IS NO CONFUSION. Trump and his accomplices are simply LYING. And Israel, as always, does whatever it likes. Like a spoiled-rotten Jewish princess, maybe? (Uh-oh, that sounds "anti-Semitic." I better censor myself. Of course that is facetious. The problem isn't "Jews." The problem is Israel, and Zionists wherever they live, millions of whom are some type of Christian. The Christian Zionists may well outnumber the Jewish ones. And globally millions of Jews are either not Zionist, that is, have no particular attachment to Israel, or are anti-Zionist, which is to say, have moral clarity.)

Trump repeatedly claims that Iran has already agreed to "all our demands" or ALMOST all, or is ABOUT to agree, or is READY to agree. I guess he keeps spewing this blather so people will see what a "winner" he is. (It comes back once again to his grievous psychological defects.) Here are Trump's demands that the U.S. could only impose if it occupied- or nuked- Iran:

-Total cessation of all uranium enrichment, forever. And turn over all enriched uranium. (Understand that Iran is perfectly entitled under treaty obligation and international law to enrich uranium to a certain level below weapons grade. And Iran does NOT have a nuclear weapons program, contrary to the Big Lie that Trump and other politicians keep pretending and that the U.S. media consistently implies by never  pointing that out and by speaking of Iran's "nuclear program," implying a bomb- instead of "enrichment program.")

-Surrender all ballistic missiles and dismantle ballistic missile manufacturing capability. (I.E Iran must make itself defenseless against repeated Israeli and U.S. murderous attacks by having no deterrence, no means to retaliate. We are in the second Israeli-U.S. war on Iran in less than a year. This one has seen the extermination of numerous leadership figures, including the Ayatollah, targeting of hospitals and universities and bridges, with repeated threats by Trump to wipe out every bridge and power station in Iran, even to annihilate Iran as a civilization "forever" and send to back to "the Stones Ages" [sic] On the first day of the second U.S. war on Iran, February 28, the U.S. destroyed a girls' elementary school in Minob, Iran, in a "double tap" strike. That is, a missile hit the school. The staff took the surviving students into the auditorium. There, as the survivors huddled in terror, a second missile, sending video back to the U.S. military so they could decide what to do next, was directed by the murderers to finish off the children and teachers. And if you don't believe this account, it comes from Scott Ritter. Ritter is a former Marine Corps intelligence major, who was tasked with hunting for Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" after the U.S. invasion and conquest.

-Iran must also abandon- betray- all its allies ("proxies" in Western imperialist parlance), that is, those who fight back against Israeli imperialism and aggression and genocide: Hezbollah, which was formed after Israel occupied southern Lebanon in 1982 and eventually drove the occupiers out; the Houthi tribe of Yemen, which dare to come to the aid of the Palestinians being exterminated in Gaza by targeting Israeli shipping; and Hamas, the Palestinians own resistance movement. Which obviously made a disastrous decision with the incursion into Israel on October 8th, 2023.

-Iran must agree to never have a nuclear weapon. (This is Orwellian level or Alice In Wonderland level absurdity. Iran has repeatedly said over decades that it has no nuclear weapons program and no ambition for one. Furthermore, the Ayatollah the U.S./Israel recently murdered had a long-standing fatwa, a religious edict,  declaring such weapons contrary to Islam. Given that Iran is a theocracy, that would be pretty definitive in itself. But in case you didn't believe them, there's the fact that U.S and other Western intelligence agencies have all concluded for decades now that there IS no nuclear weapons program in Iran. But never mind facts. Jackasses like Florida U.S. Senator Rick Scott go on TV and say how scared they are that Iran was about to kill him in a nuclear attack! As if that wouldn't be suicide for Iran as the U.S. has THOUSANDS of nuclear weapons. Scott, by the way, is a megathief who when he owned a Florida medical company defrauded Medicare for a billion dollars, and got away with it. (The corporation, which is to say no person, was penalized.) Trump himself just announced in a speech to a gathering of American reactionaries and fascists that Iran has "agreed to never have a nuclear weapon." The idiots cheered this. The same people who hated the agreement made by Obama along with China, Germany, Russia, France, and Britain under which Iran surrendered the uranium enriched higher than 3.5%, mothballed centrifuges used for enrichment, and permitted extremely intrusive inspections of all sites by IAEA inspectors. (International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN de facto nuclear arms control body, staffed with many U.S. personnel. It has no power over nations that HAVE nuclear weapons, just those that don't, which the U.S. considers the REAL problem nations.) This agreement was to last until 2030. Trump in his first term reneged on the agreement, and Biden didn't bother reinstituting it. Biden is an ardent Zionist, unlike Obama, who nevertheless did a huge favor for Israel and Netanyahu by having Congress pass ten years of advance free weaponry for Israel, almost $4 billion a year of free murder tools, to which Biden added $20 billion to fund the genocide in Gaza launched in October 2023.

There's more, lots more, unreasonable U.S. demands on Iran, unrealistic demands that Iran obviously won't agree to, but I won't tax your patience or attention span by enumerating them. You get the idea. It's basically tantamount to one of Trump's prior demands on Iran, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!!!" (His all caps.)

And it's not just U.S. media that is guilty of gross obfuscation. Some of the same mealy-mouthed attempts to square an impossible-to-square circle, the "contradictions" between Trump's blather and Iranian statements, which is to say, between Trump's gaslighting and reality, has been on Al Jazeera, the propaganda arm of the Qatari government. They too use phrases like "mixed messages" and "confusion," in order to not "take a side" I guess. How about taking the side of people who rely on you for information and present truth? And truth isn't an opinion, it is accurate description of reality.


In the past, Al Jazeera has done good journalism. It was Al Jazeera that uncovered the fact that Israel murdered Yasir Arafat by poisoning him with radioactive polonium. That was done on orders of then Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, obviously, since such an act would have required the PM to order it. Sharon spent a lifetime murdering Palestinians, apparently his greatest passion, starting as a terrorist commando who raided Palestinian villages to murder defenseless people, through his career as a general and war minister when he arranged the massacre of over a thousand Palestinian civilians by an Israeli controlled Lebanese fascist militia, the notorious Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacre which occurred under supervision of the Israeli army, the so-called "Israeli Defense Force." A Western nurse who was there related how she only escaped being murdered by the fascist Lebanese by the intervention of the supervising Israeli troops, who clearly had orders about who was to be "eliminated" and who not.

The U.S. wasn't entirely cool with that massacre. Unlike under Biden and Trump, who totally support Israeli genocide in Gaza, in fact who MAKE IT POSSIBLE BY SUPPLYING THE WEAPONS FOR IT. Oh, and the U.S. Congress of course, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the State of Israel.

To sum up- U.S. and other media won't just say at LEAST that "What President Trump says isn't true." They could say "He's lying," and that would obviously be true. He must KNOW that Iran didn't agree to all the absurd things he claimed they agreed to. But they won't even say he bullshit is untrue. It's all too "confusing" and "unclear" with "mixed messages coming from both sides." Contrary to what professional propagandists pretending to be journalists pretend, this is NOT "objectivity." It is HIDING reality. OBJECTIVITY is presenting reality as it actually is. Period.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! This is Jason Zenith, your objective observer of reality! (A sign-off inspired by some guy on "Truth Social" who you might be familiar with.)
