Iran is under attack. Just as in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, the people of that ancient land are now under the bombs and rockets of Israel and its Western accomplices.
We’ve seen the modus operandi repeated: destruction of vital civilian institutions and infrastructure; targeting and murder of the professional class, whether at work or at home. The criminality of this monstrous assault is beyond question; the actions of the assailants indefensible. And yet it continues day after day, city after city, crime after bloody crime.
Dan Kovalik’s a lawyer, educator, labour, peace, and justice activist, democracy defender, journalist, author, and filmmaker. Over the last several months Dan has been in Syria and Lebanon – countries now hardly recognizable – and before that he visited Iran. All to see firsthand who the people behind the Western propaganda curtain really are, and to bring their stories home to America.
Dan’s book titles include: ‘Cancel This Book: The Progressive Case Against Cancel Culture’, ‘No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian’ Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interest’, ‘The Case for Palestine: Why It Matters and Why You Should Care’, and ‘The Plot to Attack Iran: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Iran’.

And; though less than the horrors inflicted upon the women, men, and children of West Asia, there is fear, and brutality being visited against refugees, immigrants – both documented and otherwise – and the American citizens defending the rights and liberties guaranteed until recently by the US Constitution. They’re discovering the hard way, this Trump administration holds the laws of its own land in the same contempt as those of the rest of the World.
Andy Worthington‘s an English journalist, activist, author, photo-historian, filmmaker, musician, song-writer and principle of The Four Fathers band. Andy is too a co-founder of the ongoing Close Guantánamo campaign. His book titles include: ‘The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison’, ‘Stonehenge: Celebration and Subversion’, and ‘The Battle of the Beanfield. Andy’s articles appear at: AndyWorthington.co.uk, where I found his latest, ‘The Alarming Kafkaesque Basis of Trump’s “War on Migrants”‘.

But first, Dan Kovalik and the plot against Iran revealed in real time.
