As Western nations are being told to brace for more terror attacks like Manchester, mainstream media continues to simplify the narrative for public consumption, hoping that the general public will believe this is just a simple struggle between good and evil, black and white, right and wrong. There are some, however, who are telling the whole story.
Hawaii State Representative, Tulsi Gabbard, has been working to expose the truth and strike the roots of international terror. After actually traveling to Syria she introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, which acknowledges that ISIS and other terror organizations would not exist without our financial and material support. Now she has condemned Trump’s recent arms deal with Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s most egregious human rights violators.
President Trump, who during his campaign said he would hold Saudi Arabia accountable for 9/11 and would put them in their place, just signed the largest arms deal ever, promising to outfit the House of Saud with some $350 billion worth of arms over the next decade.
The agreement included an arms deal; almost $110 billion worth of defense capabilities, the White House reports. “This package of defense equipment and services supports the long-term security of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region in the face of malign Iranian influence and Iranian related threats,” wrote the Trump administration officials.
The deal was signed during President Trump’s meeting today in Saudi Arabia with the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud, Crown Prince Mohamed bin Nayef, and Deputy Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman. It is the first foreign trip of the Trump presidency. [Source]
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s comments regarding this development are so far the only remarks from a U.S. Congressperson which actually honor the truth in how turmoil in the Middle East is perpetuated by Western governments, especially through arms deals.
