War Drums Beat After ‘Sabotage Attacks’ Rock Saudi Oil Tankers
Two Saudi oil tankers were damaged in the gulf, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is using the opportunity to build animus against Iran in Europe.
The Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia claims that two of their oil tankers in the Gulf were damaged by “sabotage attacks” on Monday morning.
The Saudis released a statement decrying “acts of sabotage which targeted commercial and civilian vessels near the territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates.”
“This criminal act constitutes a serious threat to the security and safety of maritime navigation and adversely impacts regional and international peace and security,” a Saudi foreign military source said.
UAE also claims that four commercial vessels were targeted by attacks near the emirate of Fujairah a day earlier. They released a statement about the Saudi attacks.
“Two Saudi oil tankers were subjected to a sabotage attack in the exclusive economic zone of the United Arab Emirates, off the coast of the Emirate of Fujairah, while on their way to cross into the Arabian Gulf,” said Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih, according to a SPA state news agency report.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi expressed regret over the event and denied that Iran had anything to do with the attacks.
“The incidents in the Sea of Oman are alarming and regrettable,” Mousavi said in public statement released on the foreign ministry’s webpage.
As the war drums beat, Mousavi “warned against plots by ill-wishers to disrupt regional security” and urged for “vigilance of regional states in the face of any adventurism by foreign elements.”
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo – who has repeatedly threatened regime change in Iran – has come unexpectedly into Brussels to raise warning of Iran’s “threatening actions and statements.”
Europe is worried that the U.S. is pushing toward another costly war that will recreate disasters similar to what was done in Iraq and Libya during the Bush and Obama regimes.
“I made clear once again that we are worried in view of the developments and the tensions in the region,” German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said to reporters. “We don’t want a military escalation.”
Pompeo abdicated constitutional responsibilities last month, deferring to deep state attorneys, and side-stepping questioning from non-interventionist Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) when he asked the Secretary about Congressional war powers regarding Iran.

Pompeo also bragged about the lies he helped perpetrate while serving as CIA Director, actually claiming that the deep state’s propaganda operation reminds him of “the glory of the American experiment.”

It is feared that these “sabotage attacks” may serve as a provocation that will further drag the U.S. into another military conflict, which is what Trump campaigned against when running for President in 2016.

‘More Body Bags’: W.H.O. Director Threatens Doom Without ‘Unity’ Behind His Organization
The World Health Organization is fearmongering hard.
The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) is desperate to keep his disgraced organization from losing funds, and he is claiming that doom will come if they are criticized amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called out his critics and made an ominous statement that could be perceived as a threat.
“Please do not politicize this virus,” Tedros said during a virtual press conference on Wednesday. “If you want to be exploited and if you want to have many more body bags, then you do it. If you don’t want many more body bags, then you refrain from politicizing it.”
Tedros is urging the world to unite around his organization and follow their orders despite their record of extreme failure.
“Without unity, we assure you even any country that may have a better system will be in trouble and more crisis. That’s our message. Unity at the national level,” he said. “No need to use COVID to score political points. No need. You have many other ways to prove yourselves.”
Trump has talked recently of de-funding or freezing the funds for the WHO because he believes that they are in the pocket of the Chinese communists. He won his election to the director general post with the support of China.
“They actually criticized and disagreed with my travel ban at the time I did it, and they were wrong,” Trump said during a Wednesday press conference, referring to his decision to block incoming travel from China early in the pandemic. “They’ve been wrong about a lot of things.”
“They had a lot of information early, and they didn’t — they seemed to be very China-centric. We have to look into it,” he added.
WHO infamously circulated Chinese propaganda on Jan. 14 when they spread fake news about the coronavirus in a now-infamous tweet. Their reckless and irresponsible behavior put many more lives in danger needlessly.

Tedros also tried to play the victim during the virtual press conference, claiming that he has received death threats and been called mean racist names during his time in the limelight because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I can tell you personal attacks that have been going on for more than two, three months. Abuses, or racist comments, giving me names, black or Negro. I’m proud of being black, proud of being Negro … I don’t care to be honest … even death threats. I don’t give a damn,” he said.
Tedros is issuing potential threats about “body bags” and playing the victim card in a desperate attempt to keep his globalist institution solvent.
