Former U.S Representative and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard now finds herself on a “TSA Watchlist” which, according to Ben Bartree, “is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists…” (1)
This, of course, is ironic, since Gabbard did more to stop terrorism (including her introduction of the Stop Arming Terrorists Bill) than any number of AIPAC-fuelled pro-war and terror U.S politicians.
How did she do this? In the case of Syria, she took the time and effort to actually visit the country during the war, and to publicly reveal the truth about the dirty war.
The whole truth is that the West supports al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and beyond, and that there are no “moderate rebels”.
The whole truth is that the unilateral coercive measures amount to collective punishment. The whole truth is that the U.S occupation, its looting and plundering, its direct and indirect support for internationally recognized terror groups, its military attacks on the sovereign country all amount to Supreme International War crimes. The military operation itself contradicts the UN Charter, international law, and is anti-constitutional according to U.S law.
The whole truth is that whereas the U.S blames al Qaeda for the 911 false flag and the controlled demolitions, al Qaeda (and ISIS) are U.S. proxies. Operation Timber Sycamore (2) which provided weapons to jihadis was not a secret, nor is it much of a secret that the U.S has been “running jihadis” for decades. Western support for al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria, both overt and covert has been consistent and continues to this day (3).
Gabbard’s truth-telling has helped to deflate the bubble of criminal war propaganda that protects the terrorists in Syria and beyond. For this she should be rewarded, but instead she is on a terror watch-list. How ironic that those who expose elements of Empire’s vast criminality and its support for war and terror should be put on a “terror watch list”.
Yet this is a reality today, in a world where 2 + 2 = 5, in a world where truth-tellers are condemned and war propagandists are exalted.
It is also a world where fabricated mass ignorance could lead to the great evil of global nuclear holocaust, something which Gabbard has also tried to warn us about.
