It seems unlikely that Sen. Graham’s death was natural, although the timeline of his movements tends to suggest Russian involvement rather than Iranian responsibility, the latter’s Lego video notwithstanding. But I can’t imagine that makes other anti-Iranian figures who now find themselves targeted any better.

We’re already heading for a much more dangerous world now that 5GW is here and drones can be used by just about anyone and any organization pretty much anywhere. But if Iran has actually decided to go ahead and adopt the “rise up and kill” tactics against their enemies that Israelis have been using for decades, we’re going to see a lot of US public figures being affected as a result of their relentlessly bloodthirsty calls for invading Iran, killing Iranian leaders, and establishing an empire in the Middle East.

My suspicion is that there is one last card that the neocons will attempt to play. The short fat Trump is old and of demonstrably limited utility now. He has proven absolutely unable to unite Americans behind his ill-fated war on Iran. So, it’s not hard to see why Trump was recently speaking so darkly about his own future prospects, although I think those who are counting on Americans rising up in fury against Iran for one reason or another are again reading the international tea leaves incorrectly.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP

However, Americans do not want to fight Iran under any circumstances that don’t involve Iran physically invading Florida, Texas, or the Midwest. They just want the US to permit Iran to manage the Strait of Hormuz in a way that permits the oil to flow, even if it is taxed by Iran. But just because there are no serious prospects for the effectiveness of a false flag, or even a potential green flag, doesn’t mean that a sufficiently desperate Clown World won’t roll the dice with one.
