also (C) making sure control of the situation remains in the hands of the Iranian people, as many faithful Trump supporters have confidently assured me. These are nonsensical, intrinsically contradictory beliefs, and I figure my best shot at getting people's
skepticism up to a sane level is to throw a monkey wrench in their partisan loyalties by pointing out that Hillary Clinton helped advance the same agendas.</p>

"How can Q be bad, Caitlin?" they ask. "All he does is ask questions and encourage us to do our own research to expose the deep state for ourselves!"</p>

Well, normally doing your own research and asking questions is a good thing, and there's nothing inherently wrong with digging up information about the corrupt financial ties of Democrats and Never-Trumpers. But that's all the anonymous 8chan user ever directs
followers to look into: Trump's political enemies and targets. If they were legitimately interested in exposing the mechanics of the unelected power alliance known as the deep state, it would be an entirely bipartisan ordeal since the deep state controls both
parties. And the Trump administration's ties to the MEK are just the sort of rabbit hole Q enthusiasts would be exploring.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1em;" class="">
But they don't. The only rabbit holes they ever explore are ones which strengthen their conviction that all of Trump's warmongering and his coziness with deep state swamp monsters like John Bolton are actually brilliant strategic maneuvering against the deep
state. I've been sincerely informed many times by Trusting Q enthusiasts that Julian Assange is no longer at the Ecuadorian embassy, that Trump's illegal Syria strikes actually took out a secret Iranian nuclear facility, that the deep state controls Iran currently,
and that it used to control North Korea and Saudi Arabia as well until Trump liberated them.</p>

Meanwhile, in the real world, Trump is advancing longstanding deep state agendas using longstanding deep state tactics. If I still have any readers left who are QAnon enthusiasts, I challenge you to put the MEK in your research crosshairs for a while and see
what you find.</p>

On the latest protests in Iran, his comments got even creepier:</p>

“Those protests are not happening spontaneously,” Giuliani said. “They are happening because of many of our people in Albania and many of our people here and throughout out the world.”</p>

a training compound in Albania</a>. If it had come out in a WikiLeaks document that this sort of thing had been said by an Obama lawyer to an audience of Al Nusra fighters in Syria, Trump supporters would have shaken the earth about it. But it was said out
in the open by the lawyer for the current sitting president, and is going mostly ignored for purely partisan reasons.</p>

"Since the US occupation of Iraq in 2003, the strategic value of an Iranian group willing and capable of performing attacks and destabilization efforts has been seen as strategically important to the West, which has been desperate to curb Iran's quest for Middle

all year</a>, Plan A for the US-centralized empire is not to do to Iran what was done to Iraq; Plan A is to do to Iran what was done to Libya and Syria. It's important to be clear on this so we know what to watch for. The modern approach to destroying a noncompliant
government is to use sanctions, propaganda, covert ops and alliances with extremist factions to plunge the disobedient nation into chaos, all of which this administration is currently doing. This is far more efficient and media-friendly than a full-scale ground
invasion and the regular deliveries of flag-draped coffins which necessarily come with it. The antiwar movement needs to adapt skillfully to opposing a form of warfare which relies more on drones and CIA ops than the traditional forms of conventional warfare,
because they are just as deadly and devastating, as a swift glance at Libya and Syria makes evident.</p>
