For decades, Iran has been the target of a vicious and hostile Zionist propaganda campaign of distortion and demonization, including the demonization of Muslims and Islam. As Gregory Shupak of the University of Guelph in Toronto observes:<br /><br /> "Media outlets are creating a climate for a U.S. military attack on Iran by hyping the idea that Iran is an imminent threat to peace, by failing to offer evidence that calls the U.S.'s accusations against Iran into question, by amplifying warmongers' voices and by naturalizing America's supposed right to spy on every country on earth."

Trio of Tropical Storms in the Western Pacific lining up set to become typhoons after unusual quiet period<br />http://www.thebigwobble.org/2019/08/the-calm-before-storm-trio-of-tropical.html<br /><br /> A triangle of tropical storm systems in the Western Pacific Ocean was seen by Japan’s Himawari-8 satellite on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, breaking a period of unusually calm storm activity in the region according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). <br /><br />To the north, is Tropical Storm Francisco, which made landfall in southern Japan as a typhoon early on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, local time, bringing heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts up to roughly 85 mph. It's now a tropical storm and is moving west to northwest toward the southern coastline of South Korea. <br /><br />To the south is Tropical Storm Lekima, which is heading toward Japan’s southern Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and eastern China. The storm is expected to become a typhoon by Wednesday as it travels north-northwest but should become a tropical storm by this weekend. Residents in these areas are being warned of heavy rains and winds up to 75 mph, along with potential flooding and landslides. <br /><br />Tropical Storm Krosa has formed farther east over the open water near Guam and may also strengthen into a typhoon over the next few days as it moves northward. The storm is forecast to move near Iwo Jima and the Ogasawara Islands later this week, but will mostly remain over the sea for the next few days. Whether or not the storm will make landfall in Japan is uncertain at this time, but the storm has the potential to be even more potent than Francisco or Lekima.
