The US Armed Forces are now regarded as a terrorist organization under an urgent motion by Iranian lawmakers, who earlier branded the assassination of the Quds Force commander “state-sponsored terrorism,” state media report.
Iranian MPs adopted a bill on Tuesday calling “personnel of the Pentagon, all affiliated companies, institutions, agents and commanders” members of a “terrorist entity,” local media reported.
The bill amends and expands previous legislation which gave a similar designation to US Central Command (CENTCOM). Initiated in April of last year, it was a tit-for-tat response to Washington’s blacklisting of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
The latest designation, however, comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran reach boiling point, following the US’ assassination of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Friday. Tehran has vowed to avenge Soleimani’s death, a promise that in turn led to US President Donald Trump threatening to strike 52 “very high level” Iranian cultural and state targets should Iran hit any American interests.
The Iranian government has reportedly been considering 13 “revenge scenarios” in retaliation for Soleimani’s killing. The semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Iranian Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Shamkhani as saying that “even if there is consensus on the weakest scenario, carrying it out can be a historic nightmare for the Americans.”

Conspiracy Denial

Lies are Unbekoming | January 27, 2026
In honour of Michael Parenti (1933–2026), who passed away on 24 January 2026 at the age of 92. He spent his life naming what power prefers to leave unnamed.
In 1837, Abraham Lincoln remarked: “These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people.”
Today, he would be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist.
That dismissal—reflexive, automatic, requiring no engagement with evidence—is not a mark of sophistication. It is a tell. The question worth asking is not whether conspiracies exist (they are a matter of public record and a recognised concept in law) but why acknowledging their existence provokes such reliable hostility. What work does the label “conspiracy theorist” actually do?
The late political scientist Michael Parenti spent decades answering that question. His conclusion was blunt: “’Conspiracy’ refers to something more than just illegal acts. It serves as a dismissive label applied to any acknowledgment of ruling-class power, both its legal and illegal operations.” The term functions not as a descriptor but as a weapon—a thought-terminating cliché that protects the powerful from scrutiny by pathologising those who scrutinise them.
Conspiracy denial, in Parenti’s analysis, is not skepticism. It is the opposite of skepticism. It is credulity toward power dressed up as critical thinking. As he wrote in Dirty Truths: “Just because some people have fantasies of conspiracies does not mean all conspiracies are imaginary.” … continue

By Benjamin Fulford Letters to the Editor 0 Comments
Benjamin,
It’s been a while since I’ve responded to one of your posts. Before I dig into the latest update, let me preface this with the fact I know you report on things as you hear them, not as they are or we wish they are in real life.
Soleimani was a butcher. He is responsible for the deaths of THOUSANDs of people and hundreds of U.S. soldiers. Unlike you, I have seen the attacks the guy has planned on U.S. service members and the raw intel from his activities throughout the Middle East. I also know his death is a severe blow to the regime. I’m not sure who on the Pentagon side is feeding you information, but I can tell you as a matter of fact that we should have taken this guy out in 2009 when we had solid intel where he was in Iraq. We would have saved the world a number of innocent deaths.
As far as China is concerned, they have meddled in almost every aspect of American culture, politics, and even entertainment. To say they have aims of turning the U.S. into a communist country is legitimate and focused. I don’t buy the narrative they are “here to help.” Google’s aid to China with technology is nothing short of treason, and all the execs at Alphabet should be tried and shot for their activities in China.
You never reference the “Tech Bro’s” and their continued efforts to censor and subjugate the American people via the technology and financial mechanisms, even though they have used the same tactics on you with regard to payments. I would think that topic would be first and foremost in figuring out what and who is pulling the strings.
Finally, I don’t see the world trying to “save” the United States, given the fact most of the world is corrupt to the core. Even Europe is corrupt to the core. The only way to truly liberate humanity is to burn down the entire system and put people in charge that understand and practice selfless service. I would imagine that the list of non-corruptible people on this planet is extremely small. Certainly none of them work for the United Nations, as it is the most morally and physically bankrupt organization on the planet, rife with corruption and power-drunk woke-tards.
What I see is a concerted effort by the Elite across the planet to divide the world into factions and continue more of the same—debt, slavery, pain, and suffering.
Best,
—SM
Thanks for that information, S. Many sources did tell me Soleimani was a Zionist agent playing his part to try to start their planned war between Christianity and Islam. The important thing is to not let them fool us into killing each other so that we become weak enough for final enslavement by the Zionists.
As far as the tech companies go, I do see them as a problem, since they have been censoring me from Day One. My view is that the tech companies should be either nationalized or regulated like public utilities.
The other thing I want to make perfectly clear is that I do not support a Chinese takeover of the United States. My view is that the other Anglo-Saxon democracies—Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand—are in the best position to help restore true Democracy to the United States.
Anyway, we must keep fighting until humanity is liberated from these gangsters.
—BF
