Iran slams US ‘audacity’ to blame it for Baghdad embassy storming
RT | December 31, 2019
Iran has flatly rejected US accusations that it is behind violent protests which broke out at the American embassy in Baghdad in response to US airstrikes on militia groups in Iraq.
In a tweet on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump accused Iran of “orchestrating an attack on the US Embassy in Iraq,” and said Tehran will be held “fully responsible.” Trump also called on “millions” of Iraqis to resist Iran.
Iran hit back at the “audacity” of Washington to blame Tehran for the attacks in a statement posted by the Foreign Ministry.
“America has the surprising audacity of attributing to Iran the protests of the Iraqi people against (Washington’s) savage killing of at least 25 Iraqis…,” it said.
The US hit five Kataib Hezbollah targets in Iraq and Syria last week in retaliation for an attack on a US coalition base near Kirkuk, which no group took responsibility for, but which Washington blamed on the Iranian-backed militia.
Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi condemned the airstrikes, calling them a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and said there could be “grave consequences.” Protesters then stormed the US embassy compound on Tuesday, shouting “death to America” and waving Hezbollah flags.
Washington announced earlier Tuesday that it was sending reinforcements to the Baghdad embassy, in what Defense Secretary Mark Esper said were measures “to ensure our right of self-defense.”

WHO Published Guidelines for Governments to Implement Vaccine Passports
21st Century Wire | September 23, 2021
This flew under the radar at the time, but it’s important to shine a light on it now.
Back on August 27, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) quietly published a detailed directive which instructs governments around the world how to standardise and implement the digital segregation system which they are calling a ‘digital COVID-19 certificate’ aka vaccine passport, immunity passport, health pass, green pass, or digital wallet (as the EU has since renamed it).
By positioning itself in this way, the WHO has elevated itself to de facto global government status, with little or no interest in the democratic processes of individual sovereign nations and their people. Instead, they are simply pushing forward with their own globalist agenda – clearly run on behalf of the transnational pharmaceutical cartel – in concert with a cadre of billionaire elites (led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which funds the WHO to the tune of $265 million per annum) and another key unelected non-state actor, the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. … continue

I don’t think that the USA has a right of “self-defence” when they are illegally in Iraq(and Syria). “Yankee go home”

Let us not take our eyes and minds away from another reality in the “intended-consequence” chaos that has ensued since Dubya illegally “shocked and awed” Iraq in March, 2003: the satanic Zionist monster so-called Israel has multiply, indiscriminately bombed Syrian soil (and, more recently, at least one invasion of Iraq by air and bombs) in flagrant violation of international law. Here, the servant US has merely followed the lead of its master….
“…to ensure our right of self-defense.” Sure. Once again, right out of the Zionists’ “We have the right to defend ourselves” “victim” playbook…when in reality the “victim” is the “victimizer.”
