The Supreme Law of the Land

In 1945, 50 nations signed the United Nations Charter in San Francisco. The US was a founding member and agreed that nations should refrain “from the threat or use of force,” until they exhaust all peaceful means. Article VI of the Constitution asserted, “all Treaties made… under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” If the Constitution means anything, the UN Charter was the supreme Law of the Land. The US violated the UN Charter, its laws, and international laws. In an act of illegal aggression the US bombed Iran.

On June 13th, the US and Israel unofficially launched their illegal war. It included Operation Rising Lion and Operation Narnia. The Jerusalem Post wrote that in Operation Narnia, Iranian nuclear scientists, physics experts, and mechanical experts were “all killed simultaneously while sleeping in their homes.” Amos Harel wrote in Haaretz, “Netanyahu got a green light from Trump.” Harel continued, “IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir presented the support of the Americans as a precondition for launching the operation.”

Israeli news outlet made the honest admission that Washington used nuclear talks to trick Iran. Amir Tibon wrote in Haaretz, “it’s clear that Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff worked together with Israel to fool the Iranians, using the very negotiations they’re now offering to resume as a form of deception against Tehran.” The nuclear talks “turned out to be a trap, coordinated by Trump and Israel.” The Wall Street Journal wrote, “It was a ruse.”

A senior administration official told the Wall Street Journal, “The goal was to create a situation when everyone wasn’t expecting it.” The ruse allowed a group of US B-2s to drop bunker buster bombs on Iranian nuclear sites. Washington hid the bombing behind diplomatic deception because “preserving the element of surprise was critical.” The effect “was the impression that Iran had more time before the bombs came.”

The massive effort to deceive the public included the Director of National Intelligence. In March, Tulsi Gabbard testified in Congress that the intelligence community “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.” Their nuclear weapons program was “suspended in 2003.” Gabbard later rejected her March testimony, despite it aligning with international experts. Zvi Bar’el wrote in Haaretz, the International Atomic Energy Agency “Director General Rafael Grossi stressed that there was no evidence that Iran actually sought to obtain nuclear weapons.”
Gabbard copied the precedent set by CIA Director George Tenet in 2003. Tenet told President Bush that a “slam dunk case” connected Saddam with WMDs.

There were no WMDs and no connection that linked Saddam with al-Qaeda. In 2009, M.I.T. admitted, the US invasion of Iraq killed about one million people, displaced 4.5 million people, and turned 5 million children into orphans.

The US has the highest rate of poverty in the developed world. Yet, taxpayer money paid for the bombs that drop in Iran, Yemen, Ukraine, and Gaza.
