Destruction of Palmyra Ruins and the Middle East Flattening Thesis
ISIS releases images of the destruction of the 2,000-year-old Temple of Bel in Palmyra. John C. Dvorak proposes that these ancient sites are being leveled to clear the way for future commercial construction and resorts, bypassing environmental and historical preservation laws. A clip from Amy Goodman mistakenly claims Turkey opened an airbase "in the United States."
Ayatollah Khamenei has set a "red line" in nuclear negotiations, refusing to allow international inspectors to interview Iranian scientists or access military sites. Meanwhile, ISIS has seized the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria, and Iran has diverted a humanitarian ship to Djibouti to avoid a confrontation with Saudi Arabia near Yemen. The hosts argue these events are part of a "rebelization" strategy to destabilize the region and secure oil interests.
The fall of Palmyra to ISIS is analyzed not as a loss of "antiquities," but as a strategic move to control the Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline route. Senator John McCain has called for 10,000 U.S. ground troops to intervene. The hosts argue that the conflict is driven by competing pipeline interests between Qatar and Iran, with ISIS serving as a tool to isolate the Assad regime.
