They Tell You The Houthis Attack Ships, But They Never Tell You Why by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

None of the people applauding Trumps war on Yemen because "the Houthis are attacking ships" will tell you why the Houthis started attacking ships.

The pundits will not say, and the people do not know.

After two weeks of interacting with people who support Trumps war I can confidently say that none of them know why the war is happening. They know it has something to do with the Houthis attacking ships in the Red Sea, but they never have any idea why those attacks started happening in the first place.

They generally assume it is because the Houthis are just plain evil and want to attack ships, or because Iran ordered them to do it in order to take over the middle east. The words "terrorists" and "pirates" come up a lot.

They legitimately do not know it is a blockade aimed at halting Israels genocidal atrocities in Gaza, and that all attacks had ceased while the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was in effect.

They have no idea that Ansar Allah only announced the Red Sea blockade would resume after Trump and Netanyahu actively collaborated to sabotage the ceasefire and resume starving Gaza, or that they had not even resumed attacks yet when Trump began bombing them.

They do not know that the Houthis succeeded in causing an 85 percent reduction in shipping activity to Israels Port Eilat, putting effective pressure on the Netanyahu regime to end the Gaza holocaust.

They do not know that Trumps reason for bombing Yemen is the same reason as Bidens: because the United States empire believes it should be allowed to back Israels genocide without any consequences or resistance of any kind.

They are supporting a war without knowing why they support it.

This is possible because they not only do not know why the war is happening - they also do not care. They would support literally anything Trump did for any reason whatsoever, because they are mindless infantile cultists and not free thinking adults.

They do not need to know why Trump is bombing Yemen, all they need is to be assured in a confident-sounding tone that the people he is bombing deserve to be bombed.

As long as they receive that assurance, they do not ask any further questions. They do not even bother doing a few seconds worth of research. All they care about is supporting whatever Trump and his pundits tell them to support.

When you see how effective the Houthis have been at using Yemens critical location to shut down Red Sea traffic, you understand why the United States spent years backing a horrific genocidal military campaign trying to get rid of them. "please see here:" - Caitlin Johnstone (caitoz) December 21, 2023

And what keeps blowing my mind is that they are still supporting President Trumps war even after seeing the leaked Signal chat featuring Trumps own team privately acknowledging to each other that it is not really necessary.

They know that chat exists. They saw Trump officials talking about how there is no real reason the bombing needs to happen right now and at most it can be used to "send a message" (whatever that means). But they have been aggressively defending Trumps war this whole time anyway.

Really all that would need to happen for the Houthis to permanently stop attacking ships would be for Trump to use the immense amount of leverage the White House has over Israel and force Netanyahu into a permanent ceasefire.

That is how he could make himself into the "President of Peace" Tulsi Gabbard says he is instead of another disgusting warmonger advancing all the longstanding neocon war agendas his political faction pretends to oppose.

But that all it is. Pretending.

They are all phonies and frauds!

A bunch of George W Bush Republicans LARPing as Ron Paul libertarians.

Bleating human livestock cheering for every act of mass military slaughter they are instructed to cheer for!
