    “The Zionists are simply mentally religious impaired people who form a tool that may be wielded by servants of the money powers.
    The western money powers are facing bankruptcy and are unleashing war but the bankruptcy is so bad how can anything change that?
    Isn’t the next step failure of the western banks?
    Aren’t all the wars, banker’s wars?”
    Reid

    Agree. That’s a big part of why nothing in Iran is “Real” and hub players are willing to sacrifice a queen piece like Israel to stay on the board. …Which tells you that tribe is not in control. Perhaps they are manager level. Everyone in the Vlogosphere are pointing out when the “banks” get to this level they “Suddenly! Lo!” sacrifice the Joos (and steal all their stuff). …And remain hidden behind the curtain, untouched.

    The “Kent” problem is too complex for me. Is there someone above him? Certainly. And not only WHO are they, but how do they deliver him a memo? Because they don’t seal it with wax and sign their name.(usually). But Kent may have been like this all along, or other things happening. Like they told him to take the fall to allow a false flag and he didn’t, which means he can’t stay and cooperate with that, or people like that.

    Not to be abstract, but knowing nothing, let’s invent a scenario, whole cloth: “Israel” (which may just be Globalists, we can call them MI6, London, Dr. No, just pretend they are somewhere and are not Lukid) says they need to extort Trump to take the bait. We can clearly see they planned to pin him between two bad choices, but he refused to take the bait and clock’s ticking. He MUST Pick Israel or Domestic base, because whichever he picks, they’ll crucify him on it. The POINT is not the choice: they dgaf what the choice is. The POINT is to remove him as an obstacle. Remember, this is never about the truth, they hate the Truth. It’s about the LIE. So they force the choice themselves, then LIE about it, say they had nothing to do with it, Bad Man’s Fault, I didn’t put this gun to the head of a baby seal AND a puppy.

    So they say “We’re going to nuke Philadelphia and blame it on Iran.” KENT says, “Go ahead and try, I’m emptying the magazine in your direction, gfy. I ain’t gettin’ in no unnecessary wars (where also innocents are killed).” TRUMP however, takes the other side. IF he does the Iran war, it LOOKS like he’s “Doing Israel’s bidding,” short term, but with some help, Israel and their lobby will cease to exist. Bibi will cease to exist. Europe will be so crippled they will cease to exist as leveraged players. He can sell this as a por favor to China by clearing long-term the constant chokehold of Chinese energy and the 1% vig of all world trade London take FOR arming it and keeping the war going. He sells Russia the collapse of Europe, taking Ukraine in any way they see fit, and the long-term certain threat of Europe invading 5 years from now. Because Europe will either surrender or be too weak to act.

    Those are all higher-order, long-term wins. However, you must ACTUALLY offensively attack Iran “For no reason”. …No reason except that you don’t want Philadelphia nuked. Being nuked will lose the midterms too, people! And Kent wants to HIT these guys? Okay, we can’t hit them harder than by overturning the board in Iran, and in that sense is going better than expected.

    But Kent doesn’t want, can’t conscience an offensive war, he would fight the battle here on our soil, where it is more moral to do so. In a way I agree, I’d have to think about it. I’m not against overturning the game board and stopping all wars long-term, but I would then have to communicate it to the people, which has not been done. That’s TWO MILLION dead, people. Do they not count because they’re not Iranians? Is losing 10k good to stop another two million? This same team has killed a MILLION Americans. Do we not count either?

    Our eyes fix on one magnifying glass at a time, forgetting everyone else everywhere. What is ending Israel and removing the AIPAC lobby worth? A: Priceless. We have no country without that. Everyone is mad when we do what that takes though. Or when we don’t tell you our secret war plans ahead of time, so we can argue and the enemy can know them. No. That’s foolery.

    Anyway, just ONE scenario that fits the facts with the war and Kent, I can write others. The point is, that is POSSIBLE. The “Official” story or what “Experts” are saying in Fox interviews are self-contradictory and not rational or possible at all. So if the Official story is s—t, the Experts are more definitely s—t than anything I’ve ever seen, that leaves me trying to come up with anything that works at all.

    Adding:
    …I see you have the Kent interview. Opening line: everything is false. He says “Iran is an Empire” No, it is not. “It’s not going anywhere.” That’s not the point. “We are deeply involved in Eastern Europe.” No, we totally are not. “Iran would be a quagmire we’ve been there 18 years not 18 days.” What. The. F–? “China is the real and only enemy.” Double 4x WTF.

    Tucker then wanders into a long, meandering “Hints and innuendo” non-sequitur that is a “WTF, I guess you have no facts or points either.”

    And we’re ONE minute in. Sooo…Kent is so full of s–t his eyes are brown, and Tucker is too? Wait, how did we get here so suddenly?

    10 minutes in Tucker interview, and everything in it is false. He’s now saying we’re in a double digit inflation and we’ve been in Iran 10 years. What the? No. Trump = Obama. What the? No. Kent was fired and arrested. What the? No. Everything here is nonsensical. Which is NOT common for him. It can only be on purpose, because of a reason. No attempt at all to look into the actual game board as I describe above. “Just says” he knows why everything happened (Israeli lobby, etc). Show me.

    Certainly the long US agenda has been control of gulf oil, evidenced by Bitter Lake and other agreements.

    But had Israel died on the vine, what might have followed. Certainly great power competition. But nothing like the zionist lunacy and its consequences.

    Today:

    ““Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Donald Trump what to do? Come on.”

    Quite right. Everyone agrees he won’t do anything, and then everyone thinks they just walk in the room where he’s watching sharks, tell him to bomb the moon, and he does it. No. That is irrational. He does not do whatever anyone says.

    So apparently he’s hearing a lot of people talk (Part II) and then makes up his mind from it (Part I)? Yes, that’s called “being a President.” He has a TEAM, the team pitches ideas, but he has to decide among them. That’s NORMAL. The part they’re mad at is the Derp State, bureaucracy wants Auto-Pen and vacant President. They WANT to “just do” whatever they want and ALSO have no name and take no consequences for it. Who wouldn’t? So they hate Trump, like Nixon or Kennedy, will oppose their evil plans. They need a CIA president like most of the others, who believes everything he’s told an does it.

    Nutsy is of course lying though. Because he opened his air-hole. Rubio SPECIFICALLY SAID it was because of Israel. –But also not in the easy, cartoon way everyone is suggesting, go look at his quote.

    “• Iran’s Attack On Qatar’s LNG Sends Shockwaves Across Global Energy Markets

    Iran keeps attacking EUROPE and all their Muslim Neighbors and no one else. Ok, man. Show us who you are. You can bomb EUROPE all day, IDGAF, hope you do. I’d mail you the weapons but it would look bad for us.

    Europe says “Thank you daddy Iran, may I have another?” Getting involved would be mean. It’s much superior to die by the millions.

    Trump wins on NATO AGAIN, same as when he gave them all a wedgie and kicked them in the pants one by one in the Oval Office and they didn’t listen. So: you want us to attack and nuke Russia for you. No. NOW you want US to secure all your oil for you, and when we do, not only will you NOT HELP, but Spain is actively OBSTRUCTING??? Rutte was the only guy who got a clue on this strategy Trump just monkey-hammered them with. He was like, “DUDES! If you REFUSE, there is no NATO!!!” And no NATO = No free EU Nazi army they command to go do things with. So they’re so retarded they didn’t realize this and had to be talked down and come around 24-48 hours later, but the damage is done.

    …Also they’re not really going to help or fix anything, so there’s that. But really this is about the PR that Europe is NOT an ally of the U.S. and does NOT pay for their own energy security, expecting Us to do it while people in Michigan have no water.

    When we trash NATO, Trump or his successor will point at that and stop being raped by Europe. Go “America First”.

    Trump + Pars attack”

    Yes, and this is very relevant. All the cartoon-crayons that say “The West”. No. England is not US. Germany is not US. Israel is not US. Okay? These are DIFFERENT people. This is not Borderline Personality Disorder. I am not YOU. So it is relevant that US, the U.S., Trump, is working really hard to keep Iranian energy assets INTACT. And someone – maybe not even “Israel” but a rogue faction, who knows – is doing the opposite. It’s REALLY IMPORTANT that we are preserving their whole energy system and thus their revenue stream. …For the Iranian people, although that remains to be seen.

    This is the #Opposite of what Kent/Tucker just said. Shock and Awe!!!!. NO. It is not. THAT IS A LIE. And both Kent and Tucker KNOW it is a lie, and they know better. So what are they doing?

    Adding to this, Iran is attacking WHO? The U.S.? Go ahead! Israel? Sure, fair game! NO. They are attacking ISLAM. All their neighbors. All Europe, who is neutral. And THEY KNOW IT. So what are THEY doing?

    Blowing up Kuwait doesn’t hurt me, IDGAF. Blow it up all you want! Blow it up 10 times if it makes you happy. Blowing up your main rival Saudi Arabia is super funny to me: go ahead! I don’t like kings, and he’s a maniac. …And then you have to LIVE in this neighborhood and I don’t. And this is in Iran’s interests and they’re Winning how?

    So TRUMP is saving oil assets in the Region and Iran is blowing them up. Jolly. I think that’s contrary to Asian Guy and the nightly news? Like those headlines are false? So something else is happening? Some third thing? Don’t react: THINK.

    “• US Naval Escort Won’t “100% Guarantee” Tanker Safety In Hormuz (ZH)

    Listened to a shipping guy about insurance which was fascinating. Because the shippers dgaf. It’s just about money because the ships are so expensive. This is Luongo’s thing, IRAN did not close the straits. LLOYD’S closed the straits. London. Arcana: Oddly – get this is you want to see how stupid the financialized world is – the shippers SELF INSURE. Huh? Yeah, to take the edge off, they pool their own money and keep a fund to self-insure. JHC. Whut? But Lloyd’s!! Yeah, well then they RE-Insure their SELF-Insure with Lloyd’s. Da fuq?

    Okay and like every statement made, obviously “Not all”. And adding IF you do stuff, go around, Lloyd’s will blacklist you for life as well.

    The rates are like 0.5% IIRC, and they doubled, then Lloyd’s had them as high as 3%. So all they need to do to move is have anyone create an insurance fund and the companies will move the ships. That simple. Will ships sink? Yes, ships sink anyway and Iran is sinking them at anchor right now, what’s the dif? They only need to know the profit is worth the risk. I mean, these the the people who would lose 9/10 ships sailing the horn for nutmeg in 1600. Everyone knows the contract they’re signing, sailors included.

    Same here. Says if they insure the ships adequately, they’ll just sail. That’s how it is. The only thing stopping the motion is Lloyd’s. (and that the U.S. hasn’t completed their competing funding system yet)

    Can Iran sink ships? Sure. But that doesn’t “Close the straits” which are not closed now. Chinese, Bangladeshi ships are moving no problem. And again, THE U.S. IS NOT PREVENTING THAT EITHER. Although we could. That’s Iran’s revenue and lifeline, we’re keeping it OPEN. We could sink the ships, sure, or just pirate them out by the Indian Ocean, no problem. We want the Straits OPEN.

    “We can’t guarantee 100%” Yeah, man, NOTHING is guaranteed 100%. Stop thinking in cartoons and crayons.

    “Western US partners have rejected Trump’s request to send warships to help reopen the strategic waterway, which is plagued by IRGC mines and kamikaze drones.”

    Yes, that was the POINT. That was the point of asking to demonstrate Europe would refuse. Since they don’t care, why should we? No oil then, fine.

    THERE ARE NO MINES IN THE STRAITS. That I can find. Why Make S—t Up?? No mines because Iran needs the Chinese ships to move because the Straits are OPEN. So…stop. I’m not going further with the article if you can’t grasp this, you’re dangerous.

    Can Iran still sink any specific ship they have the time to target? Almost certainly. But be accurate.

    “• Iran Is Losing. Why Pretend Otherwise? (Ben Shapiro)

    Much as it makes me sick, the list of IRGC head killed is running many pages. But eliminating everyone is not “regime change” I guess? But removing one man and having the VP take over is?

    A: Whichever way I can HATE, and claim the U.S. will LOSE.

    How about whichever way is accurate instead? Does that work for anyone?

    So the minute we discover a single remaining left-handed screw factory in Iran we can bomb it at will, but Iran is winning and can keep making 1-ton liquid hypersonic missiles? Those two things are not both true.

    They’re defeating us everywhere but we’re using 1952 B-5s, and desperately obsolete 1990 A-10 Warthogs, both of which have the radar of a city bus and are completely open to any anti-air defense? Both of those can’t be true.

    The Iranians have demonstrated that Trump badly misjudged their capability.” –PCR

    That’s the #Opposite. So which one is it? Or a third thing?

    Easy: PCR Paul depends on “The internal emotional state of Trump” and “DonaldTelepathy”. That’s not the base of a rational argument. Discard Paul. He’s also always wrong, or has no detail to his arguments that can be checked.

    “• Either Iran or Israel Has to Go (Paul Craig Roberts)

    Why not both? That’s literally what has happened. BOTH wanted war, now they’ve got what they always wanted. Paul is extremely sad Iran hasn’t created a new Ottoman Empire from F-stan all the way to Egypt. Strange look, Paul. I for one am not in favor of that. That causes wars n’ stuff. It’s bad if Israel does it, but good if Iran does it.

    “I am disappointed that Trump destroyed the MAGA movement by turning it into the MIGA movement”

    The MIGA movement that destroys Israel. Huh. Tell me how that works, Paul.

    “Trump and Netanyahu believed that Iran would fall as easily as the others,”

    “Reality” and “Time” exist Paul. I know everyone else has forgotten, but do you remember something about a “12 Day War”? It happened some time in the last 100 years…. Oh yeah! Like a month ago! And in it Iran bombed the s—t out of Israel and proved they could level it pretty easily? …Yes but “because I make up stuff in my mind” Trump and Nutsy suddenly didn’t notice that and it never happened. They “Thought it would fall easily” when a week ago it did NOT fall easily in Mossad’s Protest revolution, who were all rounded up and killed?

    That didn’t happen either. The only thing that happened was Paul Craig Robert’s imagination.

    Helmer:” Those people are above a dog catcher, so they can kill whoever they want. So talk to me again about how we’re better than feudalism? We have 10x the tax rate. No holidays. No say in wars. NYC handed Weinsten a “Rape Safari Pass” for the state of NY for like a few thou in cash, and he may have used it widely. No “Lord” can be convicted for any crime on any Peasant. In fact, open slavery has been reconstituted by Obama, and including wide child genital mutilation and child marriage.

    Yet all day I hear from Progressives how thank God it’s not 1969 when all men chained their women to radiators, we are Soooooo much better and moral and enlightened than the bigots who landed at Normandy. Right. Good thing it’s not 1950!!

    “• Trump Continues to Expel MAGA’s Best Members (Paul Craig Roberts)

    Again, PCR uses all his DonaldTelepathy to intuit what’s going on. A: Whatever is the worst possible interpretation. The most Black Pilled, Least-helpful one. Thanks, man. We’re working down here. Nice to know we’re doin’ it wrong.

    There are no wins. Everything is bad. Since that’s exactly what our most hated arch enemy would tell us – exactly the same things you say – what does that mean, Paul?

    “• Kent Tells Tucker: ‘Imminent Threat’ Was From Israel, Not Iran (ZH)

    We all agree on that then, good. Now Israel is flattened and weaker than ever. One of the EMB crew – I forget who – said Bad Man could never act against Israel because the whole government would jump in and stop any plan of Trump to destroy them So it cannot possibly be a strategy or intent from Trump.

    …But that’s not true, is it?

    Trump is doing exactly what Israel wants, but GOOD AND HARD. This is exactly Ayn Rand said and the only thing that’s worked against the other team this 20 years. We do EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAY, boss. But we don’t use our intelligence, and we don’t save you from yourself. Parasites need us, the Host, to act in a certain self-interest.
    Let’s be very simple: they need us NOT to take doses of straight poison that purge the parasites. Then parasites die and the host remains.

    To me it’s perfectly simple to do this, I can’t see any reason NOT to do this, I don’t know how anyone can’t see that this is perfectly obvious. So Obviously my argument is, being perfectly simple, wanted, and supported, Trump DID do this. …Intentionally, which we can’t prove. But does it matter? HE DID IT. Therefore Israel has been flattened and the Americans hate Israel more today. And it’s all “Just another accident” 10,002 times in a row.

    Even now, AFTER the magic trick is done, you’re still defending it, saying it didn’t happen. Trump R Dum. All his wins R accidents. Good I guess. Now he can do it 10,003 times in a row tomorrow.

    “We should know what happened when Boeing went from an engineers- to an accountants firm. Probe it. McDonnell Douglas.”

    Yes. Break them up back to Hughes, Marietta, Douglas, all the hundred others. Gee, I thought there was a “Sherman AntiTrust Act” or something for exactly and only this reason?

    Big picture: Corporations are trying to weaken and discredit the State so they can be larger and de facto run the world be the new government. NeoFeudal. That’s WHY they pay billions to insure utter incompetents in there and bribe judges to be traitors and fools. Same as India or any other colonized nation.

    SpaceX is harder bc it’s organic, but the principle applies.

    Everyone behind the Steele dossier is walking free.”

    That’s okay, we already know if they sat in front of any Judge, the judge would re-write all English law back to the Magna Carta and re-invent the laws of physics to let them (Epstein) free. And have. How many examples you want this week?

    “Why has no one been arrested???????????”

    Because this? You’d be MORE Black Pilled when every corrupt judge gets them off. And already has a dozen times, YOU reported on it to me. You want that? Your pick. Be an adult.

    “There will never again be a free and fair election in Europe so long as the EU can pick every country’s winners and losers”

    There too it’s “Corporations” but as Socialists they have “Controlled the Means of Production” and merged corporation and state. Here it’s the opposite. The merger was with the Corporations controlling.

    …You may notice the outcome of both systems is indistinguishable.

    “Statues of “Old White Men””

    But both. Neither. Don’t you know all the Vikings were Black? And the English kings were Muslim? And gay. And women? So they are just as British by landing in a boat as you there for 3,000 years. Totally, perfectly equally “British”. Right? But then Nelson is NOT British and give offense to Britions who are “Totally, equally British” as they.

    Right.

    Speaking of Wales they pushed back – almost ironically, unconsciously — saying “As a minority people Welsh will cease to exist is we import and overwhelm it with non-Welsh people in our towns and nation.” Ah. Funny about that. Yes. We SHOULD keep the Welsh people and language from extinction, true. Priority.

    AND SO ALSO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE???

    Over their heads. No gears turn. 10,000 more boats by sundown.

    If Iran turns into an Empire of Lies Colony:

    Russia will have another Ukraine just a short hop across the Caspian next to a ‘liberated’ Iran with western nuclear missiles deployed and aimed at it’s soft southern underbelly.

    Putin has allowed himself to be sucker punched and cold-cocked by the Empire of Lies several times now.

    I don’t see him learning a thing from it.

    He will always seek to grovel with ‘negotiations’ with the Emperor of Lies if he can.

    I see Putin being sucker punched yet again with Iran.

    To little too late for Russia this time.

    Much like Uktardistan who consciously allowed the Muslim Invasion to repeatedly gang rape their women and piss on their ‘culture’, Putin will never meet the challenge of the Empire of Lies in Iran.

    The Gulf is full of Iranian Ghadir submarines

    Nearly undetectable

    Should be a Turkey shoot on Empire of Lies naval vessels.

    The Ghadir-class is a small, diesel-electric midget submarine developed by Iran to operate stealthily in shallow waters like the Persian Gulf.

    Measuring around 95 feet, these vessels are designed for ambush attacks, mining operations, and special operations, making them difficult to detect by larger naval vessels.

    Key Aspects of the Ghadir-class Submarine:

    Stealth and Detection: Their small size, combined with the quiet nature of operating on electric engines, allows them to lurk undetected in shallow, cluttered waters and sea-floor hiding spots.

    Operational Role: These submarines are crucial for Iran’s “operational friction” strategy, designed to threaten and disrupt larger vessels, including US carriers, through unconventional means, notes Army Recognition.

    Armament: Despite their small size, they are armed with torpedo tubes and can launch missiles, such as the Nasr anti-ship cruise missile, according to BYU-Dept-clsresults-prd.amazon.byu.edu.

    Production and Deployment: Iran has engaged in serial production of this design, deploying them to both the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy and the regular Iranian Navy.

    Performance Constraints: These are not designed for deep, open-sea operations. Instead, they are suited for the enclosed, shallow, and congested maritime environment of the Strait of Hormuz, says Facebook.

    The Ghadir serves as an example of leveraging small, agile, and quiet assets to create a significant threat to, or at least cause, “operational friction” for, larger conventional naval powers, say the Institute for the Study of War

    ABC NEWS SUPERVISING PRODUCER MARIAM KHAN: Mr. President, your PAC put out a fundraising email a couple of days ago, and it’s being criticized for using official White House photos of you at the dignified transfer.

    And the PAC is also promising access to secret briefings–

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I was at the dignified transfer, unlike a lot of other people.

    ABC NEWS SUPERVISING PRODUCER MARIAM KHAN: Do you think it’s an appropriate email to send–.

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I do.

    ABC NEWS SUPERVISING PRODUCER MARIAM KHAN: –your critics are saying you’re fundraising off–

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I didn’t see it. I mean, somebody puts it out. We have a lot of people working for us.

    But there’s nobody that’s better to the military than me. And all you have to do is look at the election. Look at the elections results. Look at kind of votes that we get. Look at all the numbers. There’s nobody who’s ever been higher as a president than me with the military.

    Who are you with?

    ABC NEWS SUPERVISING PRODUCER MARIAM KHAN: ABC News

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Wor- one of the worst, most fake, most corrupt–.

    ABC NEWS SUPERVISING PRODUCER MARIAM KHAN: Will you comment on the dead soldiers?

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You know what ABC News, I think it’s maybe the most corrupt news organizations on the planet. I think they’re terrible.

    ABC NEWS SUPERVISING PRODUCER MARIAM KHAN: Can you give a comment on the soldiers?

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, I don’t want any more from ABC.

    NOBODY KNOWS HOW FUCKED THE SITUATION IN THE PERSIAN GULF ACTUALLY IS.

    3,200 ships are TRAPPED in the Persian Gulf right now. Crews are running out of drinking water. One ship called the local port authority and BEGGED for permission to dock — just to get water. They were DENIED.

    Let that sink in. These aren’t military ships. These are commercial vessels — carrying oil, grain, electronics — with civilian crews who are now stranded with NO supplies and NO way out. – 3,200 ships STUCK – Crews running out of WATER – Port authorities REFUSING to let them dock – Multiple ships reporting the SAME situation

    For context — the Suez Canal crisis in 2021 blocked 400 ships. This is EIGHT TIMES worse. And nobody is talking about it.

    They’re showing you missile interceptions and oil price charts. They’re NOT showing you thousands of crew members slowly running out of drinking water in the middle of a war zone.

    If these ships start getting abandoned, the environmental disaster alone would be catastrophic. Thousands of tons of fuel, cargo, chemicals — just sitting there. This is not a shipping disruption. This is a HUMANITARIAN CRISIS unfolding in real time.

    Iranian “special forces” have released an ominous video addressing President Trumps potential deployment of ground troops to Iran.
    “Come, we have made coffins for you made from our missile boxes, we will bury you in this very soil”
