If you do not think that Israel’s attacks on Iran ended up having the opposite effect of what the Israeli government expected, then you should look at a recent article from The New York Times, which was also reported by The Times of Israel. Listen to this:
“The report, which detailed how Trump arrived at his decision to go to war on February 28, said Netanyahu told Trump that Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks; Tehran would be so weakened by US-Israeli attacks that it would be unable to block traffic through the Strait of Hormuz; it would likely be unable to strike US assets in neighboring countries; and the regime was ripe for collapse, thanks to help from Kurdish fighters capable of invading the country from Iraq. While Trump’s CIA chief and secretary of state would later characterize Netanyahu’s regime change prediction as “farcical” and “bullshit,” the president and many of his advisers were sold on the ideas that Iran’s leadership could be taken out and that its military arsenal could be destroyed.”
Israel was clearly wrong. Iran stood its ground. Not only that, Iran gave both Trump and Netanyahu the finger by asserting control over the Strait of Hormuz and by disrupting both Israeli and U.S. assets in the Middle East.
In other words, the Israeli government and its allies in America did not expect Iran to come out strong in this conflict. Netanyahu obviously believed he was still untouchable and that Iran was too small to seriously challenge the Zionist empire, or what Ruhollah Khomeini called “the great Satan.”
As Jeffrey Sachs pointed out, in a war like this, almost no one truly wins, because lives are lost and the economy suffers.
However, Sachs also said one thing is certain: the outcome of the war appears to favor Iran. This is a reasonable and defensible view. Trump, with his strong threats, apparently believed he could scare Iran into surrendering and reopening the Strait of Hormuz after only a few attacks. But once again, Iran did not back down. According to Press TV and other news reports, Iran actually has the advantage.
Could the Zionist regime have predicted this outcome? Of course not, because they are blind to higher realities. They thought they could concoct one fabrication after another and attack a country at will. As Jewish Neocon Michael Ledeen once declared: “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.”
Ledeen made this statement in the 1990s, and he likely did not expect that Iran would be an exception to it. The Israeli regime has now been wounded, and Iran has shown the world that even a smaller country can have a strong impact.
In addition, both China and Russia have clearly said that they oppose the actions of Israel and the United States against Iran. If Trump had considered using nuclear weapons, it could have led to a much larger global conflict.
Trump may have recognized how serious the situation was and decided to step back. He then claimed that the United States had already achieved its goals in Iran and that the war was effectively over, suggesting it was time to pursue a peace deal.
The main question is this: why did Trump agree to meet with Netanyahu at the White House and consider going to war with Iran? I have argued that the Israeli government obviously has leverage over Trump, and the Epstein files cannot be dismissed easily. Tucker Carlson has recently suggested something similar.
Carlson also gave an example, claiming that Netanyahu had compromising information about Bill Clinton and used it to pressure him over the release of Jonathan Pollard from prison. So, is it farfetched to say that Netanyahu is using the same tactic? For example, consider this video clip carefully from U.S. Representative Dan Goldman of New York:
There may be things in Trump’s past that he would not want the public to know. The situation became more unusual when Melania appeared to contradict an earlier statement from the Trump administration by saying that the Epstein files are real and that victims deserve to be heard. This contradiction upset some people in the administration.
However, this does not necessarily mean that Melania is acting out of courage or principle. It is also possible that she is trying to protect herself. Some commentators, including Larry Johnson, have suggested that she probably was an Epstein girl, and that this could mean others have influence over her as well.
So, what is the conclusion from this situation with Iran? I recently listened to a Chinese professor who argued that the United States and Israel cannot return to the way things were before the war. In other words, their global position has been seriously weakened, and many countries may no longer view them in the same way.
This was already happening during the conflict, as even NATO chose not to get involved alongside Israel and the United States. This reportedly frustrated the Trump administration. In short, both Israel and the United States faced a significant loss of credibility.
So, the attack on Iran turned out to be a major mistake by the Israeli regime and the Zionist empire in the United States. In response, countries like China, Russia, India, and others in BRICS strongly criticized the actions of Israel and the United States. Friedrich Hegel might have described this kind of unexpected outcome as “the cunning of reason.”

The Betrayal Is Complete: How Trump’s Spiraling Descent Has Shattered MAGA and Hurt America
A Desperate, Unhinged Betrayal of His Truest Believers
The MAGA movement’s raw political power, which swept Donald Trump back into the White House in 2024, was never solely about the man himself.
I was part of that coalition — an advocate for peace, national sovereignty, and the dismantling of a corrupt establishment. But what we are witnessing now is not the leadership we backed.
It is the lashing out of a man spiraling into madness, turning with kindergarten-level rage on the very voices who built his movement: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Megyn Kelly.

TACO isn’t going to cut the mustard here.
“As of April 14, 2026, amid a U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun warned that any American interference with Chinese vessels, which are trading with Iran, would be considered a “red line” and would trigger the “harshest possible military options”.
The “Red Line”: China stated that any U.S. boarding, stopping, or attacking of Chinese-linked tankers would be viewed as an act of war, with Beijing asserting its right to trade with Iran.
Strait of Hormuz Blockade: The U.S. began a blockade of the Strait on April 13, 2026, to cut off Iranian oil, but Chinese tankers have continued to pass, testing the blockade’s enforcement.
Escalation Risks: The situation has been described as a potential “World War III” scenario if U.S. forces act against Chinese-flagged ships, which are transporting energy resources from Iran.
Diplomatic Stance: Beijing has called for the U.S. to stop interfering with its energy, shipping, and trade with Tehran
Trumpturd hasn’t done a fucking thing on the Clot Shot.
Not one fucking Warp Speed thing.

“Pope Leo Says ‘I Am Not Afraid Of Trump’ – Amid War Of Words Over Iran Conflict
Why would you be afraid? If you know something you’re not saying, please tell us, or that’s worse than anything. I have to assume you know nothing and have TDS. Because if you had any reason to fear him, you’d list it. So, GSR, rumors and innuendo, I guess, from the most non-pope-y Popes, who put Shamanic gods in the Vatican, but not their own god.
“Bank Lobby Fires Back At White House, Saying Stablecoin Study Ignores Community Bank Threat
The Bank lobby suddenly is all a-twitter and pearl clutchy about Main Street and small business. Wow. In reality, this is because it appears to be that they will allow “authorized” stables, (Tether) be be small-bank collateral and float their own – get this: ACTUAL BUSINESS – loans. The nerve! Local People loaning money to people for local ‘business’ why I never heard the like. This will end-run all existing systems nicely, thank you, so they are against it. There is no greater hub of “status quo” than the Chamber of Commerce of Banks. — Same guys who ran Silicon Valley, remember that one? And about 100 more cheating during ‘08? All fine. Stable crypto backed by Treasury bonds and gold? Why how dare you sir?
“The survival of the Islamic Republic is not in dispute. What is in dispute is whether the surviving entity retains the capacity to direct the forces operating in its name.”
Similar to what I was saying. They HAVE no resources left and will be Yemen. This article points at leaning the other way, that even resources they have…in the Army or the People, they may foot-drag and not cooperate. But “Iran” was supposed to be run by multi-silos, and where is the voice of the People or Civilian Government, for instance right now? They’re getting their co-equal say? Their gay billionaire Pope in the religious silo?
Note: I believe or suspect that Iran has been undergoing weather warfare, impossible to prove, naturally. That would be a far more serious war crime than bombing some bunkers. SMH.
The article points up something different to me: that as a point of resistance to the “West” (which doesn’t exist) to “Babylon” let’s say, Iran set up and finely executed a new war strategy, like using Kentucky rifles and hiding behind stone walls. Okay, good. But it didn’t work.
I worry about this because “Babylon” or “Liberalism” or whatever you call it has eaten all things like the Borg. It converts all into itself. What could have been added? We distribute the resources back down to the people? No, we often try that here and the People are unserious fools and believe dumb s—t from the (Soros) media, then choose to succumb to Babylon. How about your culture? No, if your culture is “open” then they do the same thing, maybe not erasing it, but transforming it, same as they transformed “America” from what we were to a immoral, hollowed-out shell of itself. Or Indonesia, or possibly Japan. Not even a “shell” a Skin-suit of Babylon, looking or claiming to be democratic, claiming to be Christian (by like 10 people) claiming to be Capitalist, but isn’t at all, as I say daily.
So how do you fight Babylon, as the Iranian Plan was a good one, long, expensively played and well-executed? Roughly the weight of the world was thrown at them? But that can always happen as this deadly machine always musters forces in exactly this way? Was it their OWN immorality, extortion that could have saved it?
If so then there’s no hope for any of us either.
Note: what we’re doing to Iran, we’re doing just as quickly and thoroughly to OURSELVES, in Michigan, in Oakland, erasing all fresh water, poisoning it, handing it to Robot Data Centers, paving all land, cutting all trees planetwide. All with no need at all, it’s actually suicidal, not just for us but for the machine itself. So we “Win” by getting Iran, and become “They create a Desert and call it peace.” Literally.
So they don’t have the answer and we don’t either. I see people working daily against what are openly, brazenly illegal land grabs, contrary to every law, endangered species act, whatever used to be gold-plated sacrosanct, walked through like paper. This is hundred-billions in TAX dollars, simply handed to FOREIGN corporations still, under the TRUMP administration (state level, not saying direct cause, just no prevention) expressly TO pave the world. They “borrow” infinity money at 1% to do it. All remaining open lands in America – that create FOOD – are ruined, to some extent permanently. “No one” can stop it. Even raising your head is the same as being a Sioux in 1890: shot on sight by forces so large you cannot even comprehend.
That’s ALL of us now, that’s your “Winning”.
Soo….Thoughts?
Back to Iran: WHO is in charge? WHAT do they control? A: A tiny cadre, easy to take out being numerically irrelevant compared to the Public, and A: Not much. There is no “Iranian Economy” to draw from, same as Socialists find all the time. You are directing the cream of daily human work to some additional end. No milk means there’s no cream to direct. Then leaders have to come down and steal the cow to survive themselves and that doesn’t go well.
Yesterday: “The U.S. is No longer a superpower.” What TF. Like Vietnam? They said that then, too, how did that work out? Were we a “Superpower” after? As everyone says “We’ve been an Empire” since 1948 or 1918. But now we weren’t. We’re Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more powerful relative to all nations than we were in 1918 or 1948. We used 10% of forces in Iran. Demonstrates that Europe has none.
Why would anyone say anything this dumb in public? A: He works for Europe, Globalists, and wants to tank our Bond market. But you want Europe’s bond market right now? Ireland is about to throw a million people into the sea with nothing more than a shillelagh, and it’s not even summer yet. Wait ‘til they get to Sweden. And UK is a fail, although will be as ugly as any 1984, as it already is. If you’ve followed “Pennyworth” which was created to what do you call, ground-shape for this war against the people they planned on. (The Liberal Hollywood Soros kids were the heroes of course, just use context)
“Apr 12 Iran, Trump and Strait of Hormuz – Who Is the “Bad Guy”? LR
A: Everyone. That’s the norm, actually.
“• The IRGC’s Seven Fatal Strategic Mistakes (Zineb Riboua)
Different war, so there is a lot to discuss here. By the way this is the first reasonable article I’ve read in 40 days. ONE. But “a Middle East in which American allies assume primary responsibility for their own neighborhood,” Yes. That means “It’s not our tollbooth.” Not really. Europe just said they don’t want it, don’t think oil and security is important, also don’t care anything about any Muslim girls in Burkas. They clutch pearls for human rights only when money is involved. (Ex:, they are the major backers of Israel as well. Sadly WITH us.)
“The Hormuz gambit has also alienated Beijing, which is losing patience with Iran’s active disruptions to Chinese energy supply lines. The purpose of any military operation is to improve your own posture or degrade the enemy’s calculus in your favor. The IRGC achieved neither, and in the attempt, accelerated its own isolation on every front simultaneously.”
Luongo pointed out that the first second Iran went nuclear. That is, they had no “Escalation dominance” people were talking about, but Closed the Strait (the nuclear option) almost immediately. That’s LOSING, not winning. Winning is when you’re like Neo and just tap the bullets aside. I mean, that’s okay, and it IS a plan. The plan is also to make people, the world, regret messing with Persia and think twice. And they will, so good. But… To what end here?
“The second strategic mistake was time. The IRGC likely assumed that Trump’s stated desire for speed signaled an appetite for a fast exit, and that the organization could survive by dragging out negotiations”
This was clear. And I can guess they were dicking around, entirely unserious in negotiations, waiting for midterms, etc, waiting him out. But there’s no hard proof for “intent”. This clearly Europe’s, Globalists’ approach, as they choke out and don’t notice. That doesn’t PROVE Iran is working for/with them, they may see the same thing, but…
“The IRGC has made a career of mistaking American restraint for American weakness,”
Same as they did in Russia.
“the IRGC’s strategy has been to control the pace of escalation with its adversaries, calibrate pressure, and determine when and how confrontations”
This is EM Burlingame, IRGC/London merger. They front-run on trades they themselves control the date of the war, the date of the peace, the level of oil prices, etc, and pull the Vig from it. But as I said in ‘08, back to ‘01, that “Vig” doesn’t grow on a magic Keebler Elf Tree: it comes from US, everyone. So “London” (sort of) pulls a 10% Vig (sort of) in a Chaos Premium (option). This is “Babylon” so whoever ALSO knows gets to snatch some Vig if they don’t take too much, like Philly Commodity traders were shut by NY in the 70s as competition, etc. But “Inside information” – Your “Epstein Class” – then make money and take YOUR vig by insider trading on information.
Iran “Calibrating Pressure” is non-stop able to let “London” (Globalists, Babylon) to stick their bucket in the river any time they want. By Causing an “Event”.
“that model depends on a predictable opponent. Trump has demolished that predictability,”
We see that with Bessant, a gay who Trump put in an internment camp, obviously, who is inside all this stuff. So he arranges Silver to go wild AGAINST their insider trading. Then stops as they position. Then picks a war date, a Friday Night tweet AGAINST some position he’s identified London is positioned in the market. Over and over. That’s (one) reason, Trump is “Chaotic” and they lose their minds over it. Every time they position, Trump tweets are STEALING THEIR MONEY. By hundred-millions. And they can’t stop it because their sole business model is FRAUD.
America, by contrast, wants to join Russia and China in making and doing stuff. Like: actual work.
We said in ‘01, ‘08 “Wall Street can’t stop fraud because fraud is +90% of all business there.” Yes. And so “It has to collapse.” No. What we didn’t see or expect was that someone would care and try to fix it. And if they went down there, Wall St would cooperate RATHER than collapse into nothing. That’s the part I really didn’t see. You could say “that there were good guys” but let’s not go crazy. Maybe they realized if they collapse, that money flows to Frankfort and Paris banks. And why allow that? We should have something on Wall St instead of nothing. And if we have to plan a coup and take out some Mafia rivals “It’s good for business.”
London is re-positioning to manufacture Jaguar and Rolls Royce jet engines the way Sweden does, right? Nope. You can’t fill a hundred-bill fraud with actual work. It’s impossible. London would become Denmark. Which is fine and honest! They should. …But they chose not to.
“But the Abraham Accords architecture has proven more durable than Tehran anticipated,”
I wouldn’t go nuts. It’s probably 1) London couldn’t afford to hire paid protestors, and the Arab states are sick of that and 2) Everyone lives there and knows what Iran is up to. They are unified in being a counterweight to this before Iran exits the box altogether. Purely self-interest. It boggles they “Work with” Israel on that, but may realize what Israel actually is now. They’ve transcended religious myopia.
“the assumption that China would serve as a meaningful backstop”
And Russia. Ignore Trump and watch Russia and China (I say every day. He is NOT the only person in the world, or even America) . They both let Iran swing, so they must be just as fed up. I didn’t expect joy, but “the level to which” was far higher than expected. Again: believe they set this up in Anchorage, etc. It’s not that they WANT it, but so long as the U.S. stays within lines, they WANT and NEED the other end of the Silk Road — all the ports – to be “Normal” people.
This is critical. Suppose Silk Road, all BRIICS, 20 years work, and …ta dah, we find out London is running the IRGC all along! Now LONDON owns the Silk Road, soup to nuts, as THEY own the ports – classic “Oceana” plan. Take just the mouth of the river and screw everything else. See what I mean? That’s also why they put so much into ruling Armenia. BRIICS need a sovereign Iran. Now this depends on assuming that London Merger exists, sure, but there’s every reason to think it does. So Trump is helping Russia and BRIICS…again and again. Remember, Russia is making a MINT on oil right now. Russia’s enemy of all Europe is dropping in relative power daily. Trump lifts Russian sanctions to make sure they prosper.
“Hezbollah entered the current war already severely diminished from its 2024 confrontation with Israel, its leadership decimated and its southern Lebanon infrastructure severely damaged. The Syrian buffer that Iran spent years and billions of dollars constructing has collapsed”
Okay, one is Biden. The other is Russia. Makes no sense, no one has ever explained, that one day Assad just phoned down to the troops, gave underground orders, then flew to Moscow, no problem. Like Huh? There is NO WAY that wasn’t planned. But what was the plan???? Well here’s one. The other is now Turkey is smashed into a belligerent Israel. Two major powers with no buffer state to shoot at all the time. Syria was also a “conglomerate” state, and how do you hold together “everybody”? Anyway, here you go. No Syria to draw on, as in big strategy, they must have all realized.
• To Blockade or Not Blockade, That Is the Question. (Scott Pinsker)
“Trump once again tried to reach a peaceful settlement;”
Um, can we just put that kind of language away? He “reached a peace” by illegally and aggressively bombing them DURING NEGOTIATIONS. That was like LAST WEEK, I’m sure you remember, fools.
Also, Raul is well-taken here. We DO want and need Iran to save face and have an off-ramp. Maybe we have enough triumphalism that the U.S. has lost (by winning a nation larger than Europe in a month) that we don’t get to take a victory lap, which I don’t want either. Problem is: they can’t do that for Iran, because they need the IRGC to stop and hand over to the People. If they “save face” by definition that didn’t happen.
That’s also as ugly in practice as we see right now.
“• US Allies Loudly Reject Trump’s Scheme To Blockade Hormuz (ZH)
Okay, well, UK and China send your one carrier and sink us then. This is “Real” politics. This is people act when they have “POWER”. And don’t “Make S—t Up” in attacking Russia when they have “No Power.”
Here’s the thing: IT WAS ALWAYS LIKE THIS. All power, military is ONLY Power. Violence, Murder, is the only root currency, even over gold. What they did, and the Left are agonizing about it, they added a layer of lies on top. They are sad the lies are ending. They don’t MIND Obama blowing up everything he could see worldwide, only that he was well-spoken about it. Europe put on the lie of “The UN” and “Consensus Politics” “International Law” (That was only 100% “whatever we feel like” as seen with Russia sanctions, Milosevic) but it was all fake. Then Europe FORGOT it was fake, blowing smoke up their own asses, as always happens.
Americans, being a practical people, realized this first. And in the 90s, but we’ve been fighting them owning our Congress since jeez, probably 1925, but certainly since the “Liberty” and JFK. So we’ve been TRYING to realpolitik and not “lie” for decades.
Anyway, the article just demonstrates again either 1) How profoundly they saw/see the U.S. as their b-tch or 2) How much they knew they were running and in control of Iran in the first place, a mere wholly-owned employee of London/Europe. And probably both. The third option is: They really are that stupid, and no, I will scream.
“This is the Gulf of America, packed with supertankers racing to load up on US oil.”
As saying (let’s say Luongo) they are “Resetting money and oil flows”. That’s it. If THAT doesn’t change, nothing changes. But TO change that takes something very large. Everyone is suddenly Pro-Empire, Pro-Status Quo right now, people I wouldn’t expect. Ok then. I’m not.
Question: Where is the oil coming from? Did we/ how did we suddenly have 2x the normal flows on tap somewhere. Really? Funny ol’ world that we suddenly have 2x the ports, the pipes as last week. Okay.
(Note, there are MANY long-term projects coming on now, next 3 years, particularly LNG. Just timing)
“Looking at the bigger picture, Rosas also wrote: “Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world’s emergency gas station”
This is always true. And I always go back to the story of Reagan and Lebanon, 1986. He said “If they do anything, we have battleships who will lob shells the size of Volkswagens at them.” Then they did, Reagan a man of his word. And although targeting wasn’t BAD, it certainly wasn’t GOOD. So a few random hits to a location the size of a City, and the people there go, “Hey, this isn’t too bad. The odds of being hit aren’t zero, but NEAR-zero” and promptly ignored him. …As they SHOULD. Dumb-ss.
Point is, the weapon works BEFORE it is used. Once used, it’s the “Everybody’s got a plan” and “Gets punched in the face” deal. You can’t guess what will happen. P.S. A gun is not a talking device like in the movies, they draw a gun and have a standoff. If you draw a gun, I can only assume you intend to use it and must kill you now to save my life. There is no time or room for discussion. I am going to kill you. Probably.
“This changes the meaning of “election” in any European country. The EU killed it all. Hard to get back. They’ll come in wherever they want.”
Okay, so do you want to invest and store mega-capital in Europe now, in Brussels, or in New York? We already saw Brussels freeze Russian assets, and the U.S. refused to participate.
“• Atkinson Transcripts and Background ICIG Investigative Documents Released (CTH)
WE are fighting the REAL Empire. Seven years to get through the permanent bureaucracy, the “Technocratic Elite” and RELEASE DOCUMENTS. Where everyone on the planet already knew what it was and who as stopping it and why. Records that are open. And the President was supposedly “In charge of” for 6 years. This remains true of ALL departments, very clearly Ratcliffe isn’t in control of the CIA, Kash isn’t in control of any of the FBI, and we are only in control of the Pentagon bc they haven’t figured out how to shoot back yet.
Note, they have ALREADY said to release the Docs. 50 times. This is also true of the CIA, we say “I want nothing more than A LIST of names of black ops. That’s my big ask.” Well I think it was Carter, and they released “The Big Official List” and not a MONTH went by that some CIA op happened that wasn’t on the list. Oh! Shocked!!

Nope, we only hate on Americans to destroy it, not restore it.

Reminds me of the Hungarian uprising, where the CIA got everyone lined up, said “We got your back” and when Soviet tanks appeared, left the people to Stalin’s tender mercies. (Again, by the way, wtf were they thinking trusting Americans)
Good thing that Olive tree is in Crete or Israel would have bombed it. There’s still time.It was a warm September evening in 1955,

You are still operating under the starkly obvious delusion that the United States (whoever they and their “loyal” pals and vassals actually are under all that camouflage) is winning its war of attrition between itself and everyone else. HINT: “Everyone Else” is a much larger number of people and tons of resources than the peole and resources of “America” (and I use the term loosely). Like 20 to 1.
The Betrayal Is Complete: How Trump’s Spiraling Descent Has Shattered MAGA and Hurt America
Author AdministratorApril 13, 2026Guest Post by Mike Adams
A Desperate, Unhinged Betrayal of His Truest Believers
The MAGA movement’s raw political power, which swept Donald Trump back into the White House in 2024, was never solely about the man himself. [1] I was part of that coalition — an advocate for peace, national sovereignty, and the dismantling of a corrupt establishment. But what we are witnessing now is not the leadership we backed. It is the lashing out of a man spiraling into madness, turning with kindergarten-level rage on the very voices who built his movement: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, and Megyn Kelly.
In my view, this is not a political tactic. This is the profound personal rot of a leader who has lost his way. The language is demonstrably absurd, a sign of a deep disconnect from reality. As I’ve said before, the movement has devolved into an ‘obedience cult of mindless idiots,’ where principled support has been replaced by mindless adherence to a figure who now attacks his own base. [2] This isn’t strategy; it’s the unraveling of a man, and it betrays every patriot who believed in the cause.
A Debt of Honor Unpaid: What Trump Owes Alex Jones
Of all Trump’s recent insults, the most grotesque is his attack on Alex Jones. Here is a man who, more than almost anyone, paid the ultimate price for aligning with the MAGA cause and telling the truth about the deep state. Jones lost his wealth, his company, and his freedom to what I believe was a rigged, state-sponsored persecution. [3] To call such a man ‘low IQ’ is not just factually wrong; it is profoundly dishonorable.
I believe Trump would not be president without the groundswell of support that figures like Jones helped galvanize. While the corporate media worked to bury him, Jones was a megaphone for the forgotten Americans who felt betrayed by the system. His sacrifice embodies the ultimate cost of dissent in a captured republic. For Trump to now spit on that sacrifice reveals a staggering lack of character. It signals that no loyalty is sacred, and no sacrifice will be remembered if it becomes inconvenient to the ego of the leader.
The Real Divorce: Trump Has Abandoned America for a Foreign Mistress
The domestic betrayal is only half the story. In a far more catastrophic move, Trump has divorced America itself. His loyalty now lies unequivocally with the fanatical, genocidal agenda of Netanyahu’s Israel. He surrounds himself with hate-filled Zionist advisers — people who, as noted in one analysis, ‘cheer for bombing Iran into the Stone Age’ — and in doing so, he has embraced a foreign darkness. [4]
This isn’t conjecture. A former top counterterrorism official in the Trump administration, Joe Kent, resigned in protest, penning a letter that asserted the administration was ‘effectively run by Israel.’ [5] In my view, a president who serves a foreign nation’s expansionist goals over his own country’s sovereignty and security is no longer an American president at all. He has become a puppet, and the strings are pulled from Jerusalem. This is the ultimate betrayal of the ‘America First’ promise, trading our sons, our daughters and our national treasure for a foreign war that serves no American interest.
The Global Collapse: How Trump is Burning America’s Empire to the Ground
The consequences of this foreign subservience are global and dire. Trump’s catastrophic march to war with Iran, a trap laid by Netanyahu, has not brought victory but humiliation. [4] The U.S. military, once a feared force, has been exposed as a paper tiger. As one assessment starkly put it, ‘the absence of these outcomes underscores the American Empire’s loss of credibility in projecting violence against major powers like Iran, Russia, or China.’ [6] Our allies see this weakness and are acting accordingly.
Why would Taiwan or South Korea trust a guarantor who cannot win a war and who prioritizes a foreign nation’s agenda? They are recalculating their futures, likely moving closer to China or seeking their own defenses, cursing the day they tied their security to Washington. [7] Furthermore, by initiating a conflict that has galvanized Iran and its allies, Trump has single-handedly accelerated the collapse of the petrodollar system and the unipolar world order. He is not making America great; he is presiding over the rapid, irreversible collapse of its empire.
The Inevitable Wipeout and the Path Forward
This path of betrayal, war, and collapse leads to only one destination: a historic political wipeout for the GOP. Democrats are privately jubilant that Trump remains the figurehead of the Republican Party because he is a walking disaster for its electoral chances. As one commentary noted, MAGA operatives are now ‘reduced to begging for votes from those they’ve systematically abandoned,’ using only fear, not earned loyalty, as their argument. [8]
The only hope for the country, and for the remnants of the original MAGA ideal of peace and sovereignty, is for the GOP to find the courage it has thus far lacked. The 25th Amendment or impeachment are not mere suggestions; they are necessary surgeries to remove a malignant force that has hijacked the party and endangered the republic. We must now seek leaders of truth, light, and genuine American sovereignty. We must prepare for the turbulent world that Trump’s failures have ushered in, by decentralizing our lives, securing honest money like gold and silver, and building communities of resilience. The betrayal is complete, and our task is to build anew from the ashes… if there’s anything left.

Isn’t it remarkable that if a loudly self-identifying “Jewish” guy from Brooklyn or Warsaw steals a Palestinian family’s generational home in “Greater Israel” that I am legally forbidden from calling the thief a Jew, but at the same time the I am not allowed to call the displaced Palestinian a victim?
And all of this is despite the key and crucial fact that the thief used his own self-proclaimed “Jewishness” as the adequate and ONLY justification for stealing the house in the first place? The thief loudly proclaims it!
strategic mistakes
a blockade of a blockade!
Fail to recognize some hard truths
assume that Iran is NOT negotiating in good faith,
assume that Iran is lying
assume an escalation will bring success

Misidentifying the real problemsIran’s leadership could be taken out and that its military arsenal could be destroyed.”
Israel was clearly wrong. Iran stood its ground. Not only that, Iran gave both Trump and Netanyahu the finger by asserting control over the Strait of Hormuz and by disrupting both Israeli and U.S. assets in the Middle East.
In other words, the Israeli government and its allies in America did not expect Iran to come out strong in this conflict. Netanyahu obviously believed he was still untouchable and that Iran was too small to seriously challenge the Zionist empire, or what Ruhollah Khomeini called “the great Satan.”
As Jeffrey Sachs pointed out, in a war like this, almost no one truly wins, because lives are lost and the economy suffers.
Could the Zionist regime have predicted this outcome? Of course not, because they are blind to higher realities. They thought they could concoct one fabrication after another and attack a country at will.
So, the attack on Iran turned out to be a major mistake by the Israeli regime and the Zionist empire in the United States.

He has become a puppet, and the strings are pulled from Jerusalem.The bottom line, I suppose is that lying, cheating, killing and stealing are against the law no matter what you try to call yourself. If you have a problem with that then take it up with the guys who created the language of words that we use to communicate with each other.
You can’t resolve a problem involving a particular word if you are not allowed to USE the word in question. And if you don’t want to allow the word use then you’re stuck with all of the problems which that word is giving you, including self-imposed persecution and the bad stuff that goes with it.
You can’t even begin to understand the current situation in the Middle East (and the information in the posted video is just a beginning of a much larger and older progression of purposeful events) without understanding the facts outlined in this video.

Trumpard’s “blockade” will Fail big time.
Iran has at least seven other major export venues untouched by Persian Gulf constraints.
Plus like I mentioned the novel idea that China can used Iran like a ‘strategic oil reserve’ in place, paying them for oil stored in Iran for later use, thus delaying any effect of a blockade.
Iran has Time on it’s side.
The Empire of Lies does not.
Suck on it.
An interdiction of a tanker is normally carried out via a helicopter air assault. This means the US must rely on ships capable of carrying and launching helicopters.
Will Trump’s Order to Blockade Iranian Ports Actually Work?

ShareThe short answer to my question is, No! The US, notwithstanding Trump’s threats, is not going to deploy its Navy ships close to Iran’s shore… The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group (CSG 3) learned this the hardway in March. The Lincoln CSG got within 210 miles of the Iranian southern coast in March but was forced to retreat to a position about 700 miles from the coast of Iran after it was attacked by a swarm of Iranian missiles and drones. So, any attempts to interdict a tanker will take place hundreds of miles off the coast of Iran.
An interdiction of a tanker is normally carried out via a helicopter air assault. This means the US must rely on ships capable of carrying and launching helicopters. At present, there are only three groups of US Navy ships that meet this criteria…The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) Carrier Strike Group (CSG 3) and the two US Marine Corps MEUs (i.e., Marine Expeditionary Units) — the 11th and the 31st.
The 31st MEU consists of the USS Tripoli (LHA-7) — America-class amphibious assault ship. It serves as the primary platform for Marine aviation (including F-35B Lightning IIs, MV-22 Ospreys, and helicopters) and command functions. It is supported by the USS New Orleans (LPD-18) — San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock. It arrived with the Tripoli and carries additional Marines, vehicles, and equipment, and by the USS Rushmore (LSD-47) — Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship. It was en route through the Strait of Malacca in early April and is heading to join the group in the Arabian Sea to provide additional heavy equipment and landing craft support.
The 11th MEU’s Flagship is the USS Boxer (LHD-4) — Wasp-class amphibious assault ship. It supports Marine aviation with F-35Bs, AV-8B Harriers (in some configurations), Ospreys, and helicopters. It is supported by the USS Portland (LPD-27) — San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock — and the.USS Comstock (LSD-45) — Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship. The Boxer ARG/11th MEU adds another ~4,000–4,500 total personnel (Marines + sailors) and is designed to overlap temporarily with the 31st MEU.
This means there are a total of 7 ships that can launch one or more helicopters for a take down mission. What seems like a simple mission becomes a problem when the tankers are 700 miles or more from the Iranian coast… Locating and tracking a ship, even a large tanker, is difficult. The farther the tanker moves from the coast of Iran, the search area grows proportionally larger, making it more difficult to find and locate a target. This ain’t the Caribbean and it certainly is not Venezuela.
Trump, in making this announcement of a highly selective blockade, has given the owners of those tankers that are allowed to leave the Persian Gulf ample time to place security teams on board those ships, armed with shoulder-fired MANPADS (i.e., man-portable air-defense system). If any of those tankers that are carrying the Chinese or Russian flag, any attempt to board those ships could be viewed as an act of war by those countries.
TACO time for Trumpturd
Elon Musk just told Tucker Carlson something the rest of Silicon Valley won’t.
“We are building something we cannot control.” Elon Musk“We are building something we cannot control” – Plausible Deniability Perfected
The real question is will Ai be exploitable.
Buy a seat at the high speed terminal and have the most probable hedge, “The Future Today”.
Ai is a time machine moving the past into the future.
Who writes history? To the victor goes the spoils.I’ve wondered if people are using AI to trade. Here‘s a guy talking about anthropic’s claude.
Comments run both ways…“We are building something we cannot control.” Elon Musk
It’s ALWAYS the thing that they DON’T say that you should pay the most attention to. Take that quote from Musk, for example.
What he is NOT saying is that they are building AGENCY into AI systems that are totally harmless if they are just “AI” which by its intrinsic nature (it’s an answer-box, a chatbot, a thing that regardless of its apparent “intelligence” isn’t empowered to DO anything because the system is totally lacking in the AGENCY to initiate action without human input.
What makes the thing which Musk is building BAD is the AGENCY they’re building into it, not the “intelligence” they’re building into it. It’s “UNCONTROLLABLE” because they’re building “uncontrollability” into it.
Musk is certifiably INSANE and he’s telling Tucker that very thing right to his face. If we don’t say NO FUCKING WAY can we allow you to do that, then that makes us just as lunatic as Musk.
An AI System and an AI System-with- a-gun along with the autonomous agency to decide (without human decision) who to shoot, and when, are as different from each other as a gun and a homicidal maniac with a gun.
This article from Iran doesn’t seem too worried about a naval blockade affecting trade, because of their upgraded network of ground corridors. “The more diverse, decentralized and multi-layered the routes of supplying a country, the higher the cost of external pressure on it.”
(translated from Persian)
Strategic rearrangement at the ports of entry of goods, immediate response to the enemy’s naval blockade
Since the beginning of the conflict and the intensification of attacks on the south of the country, one of the most important priorities of the government has been the rapid and operational redesign of the network of basic goods, raw materials of production and items needed by various economic sectorsThis change is not just the movement of one route with another route; rather, the transfer of the center of gravity of a part of foreign trade from the south of the sea-based to a diverse, multi-way and flexible network of ground corridors and combinations
In this framework, the free zones and customs located on the northern, northwest, western and eastern borders of the country have been upgraded from a complementary position to a determining position and are now at the forefront of supplying the goods needed by the country.
One of the most important teachings of the political economy of the crisis is that the more diverse, decentralized and multi-layered the routes of supplying a country, the higher the cost of external pressure on it.
In its calculations, the enemy usually relies on the assumption that the focus of Iran’s foreign trade on waterways and southern ports can increase the cost of supply and slow the flow of goods by threatening, monitoring, disruption or siege, but when the country moves rapidly towards activating the land borders, strengthening the role of neighbors, using alternative rail and road routes, and taking advantage of the capacity of free zones in non-seam points, the effect of this calculation is practically reduced. This is the point where the enemy’s naval strategy is faced with Iran’s ground and network tactics.
Aircraft carrier USS Ford is still in the Mediterranean Sea, while aircraft carrier USS Bush is taking the long way around Africa towards Iran.
Two US destroyers are said to be somewhere in the Red Sea, with no US ships in the Persian Gulf.
https://news.usni.org/2026/04/13/usni-news-fleet-and-marine-tracker-april-13-2026On Saturday, the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln and a couple destroyers were spotted in the Gulf of Oman, around 200 km from Iran’s coast during the ceasefire.
It wasn’t chicks who envied dicks that made the world go round.
Twas men in awe of making kids that gave the men their ground.
But too much food and too much good made far too many people,
So men made war to tip the score and turned us into sheeple.So now we have the robots: man-made kids.
And many folks will end up on the skids.
Too bad that men and women can’t agree
Twas love and sex created you and me.
