Everything that secret services do is a conspiracy

I have always been utterly sceptical of and prejudiced against conspiracy theories but watching journalists who should know much better refer to the 30,000 Iranians slaughtered by the regime at the start of the year has made me see the world differently. 

I and anyone who is attentive knows that this was a CIA-Mossad-MI6 operation in which CIA and Mossad adjacent people, many of them thugs and murderers, others Kurdish and Baluchi rebels, were killed. Nobody knows the number - the Iranian figure of less than 5,000 is believable. 

In any case everything that secret services do is a conspiracy, including the figures of Iranian dead published by CIA adjacent organisations in the Iranian diaspora.

Joe Kent who just resigned from his senior position in the American government in protest at the war with Iran last night told Tucker Carlson the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him:

“The last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing.”

“He looked me in the eye and he said … Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.”

“One of President Trump’s closest advisors was vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink, at least, our relationship with the Israelis.”

“And then he’s suddenly publicly assassinated and we’re not allowed to ask any questions about that?”

“The investigation that I was a part of [with] the National Counterterrorism Center, we were stopped from continuing to investigate.”

“But there was still a lot for us to look into that I can’t really get into.”

“There’s unanswered questions.”

“We know, because of the text messages that have been made public, that Charlie was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.”

Just so you know I do not particularly think Netanyahu did have Kirk murdered but as Mr Kent says there are questions.

A man has been arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder and the evidence against him looks strong but his lawyers will be pleased by what Joe Kent has said.
