Ex-CIA Chief Hints at Iran Regime Change, Media Yawns
Mike Pompeo, ever the diplomat, 'hints' at Mossad's involvement in Iranian protests, then celebrates the very idea. This isn't groundbreaking; it's a standard play from the regime-change playbook, re-run with less subtlety each time. Remember the 1953 Iranian coup, orchestrated by the CIA and MI6? Or the millions funneled to 'democracy promotion' groups in the lead-up to conflicts in Libya and
Syria? The US and its allies have a long, documented history of fostering dissent abroad, yet mainstream media typically frames such uprisings as purely organic, failing to question the timing or specific foreign endorsements. While RT flags the obvious, most Western media overlooks the systemic nature of such 'hints,' preferring narratives of spontaneous freedom fighters. It's a convenient
omission that allows for future interventions to be painted as purely humanitarian, even when 'ex' officials are practically waving the flag of foreign meddling. One might wonder if the same enthusiasm for 'democratic' protests would apply if Iran were 'hinting' at involvement in, say, the January 6th Capitol riot.
