Day 18:
“They’re trying to kill us.” I’m making up a new class, since almost all crime is committed by the poors, we need to round up and kill all the “Not-Stein Class”, and collectively kill all them instead. We can either kill them all, generally, statistically, scientifically, or break it down by immigrants – which have a higher rate – ethnicity, religion, but especially net worth. All those under $100k are euthansized as the “Crime Class” or just kill a random proportion in accordance to their collective crimes. Men +5 points, Christian -5, Homeless +20, and so on.Totally rational! In fact, far more rational and scientific than “The Epstein Class” which is “Anyone I feel like”. This is what you get for Collective Punishment. I’m sure no one will disagree when it’s pointed at them.
Taylor Swift is in that “Class”. I say she goes first!
–Requisite Meme of Trump and Darth Vader, that the guy who released the Epstein Files started a war to also NOT release the Epstein files, 20 years after people like me were screaming about the Epstein files. So didn’t care under Clint, Bush, Obama, or Biden. Only now? That’s odd. What amazing timing you have there, bud. So when we have President Kamala you won’t care again, right? Just as you didn’t care under Biden. And so with Barnes, etc as well.
“Hegseth Ousts Chief Of The Army As Iran War Persists
Appreciate there being ANY decisions, ANY motion at all, with a chain of command. So thanks. I don’t think I’ll have time to look further than that, but you serve at pleasure of your boss.

Posting because what is the opening line:
1) We have no idea what the goals were.
2) We have no idea what the reason was.
But they say “They underestimated”. You just said you have no idea what their estimations were. “They failed at their goals”. You just said you don’t know what the goals were. “We didn’t meet are objectives.” You just said we don’t know what the objectives are, or why we chose to attack.
3) They then immediately turn to WHO mis-estimated – or didn’t – Hegseth, Ratcliffe, Trump, and they have no idea who that is either.
After not knowing those four things, non-stop navel-gazing, they then make no estimation of the other critical thing:
1. We know what happens if we DO this thing ;
2. What happens if we do NOT do this thing?It’s not “nothing.” What is the state with no Iran attack, no change in the region? We HAVE to know this, equally or more critical. As they have – even moderates like me believe – they had material for 11 bombs, plus all the assembly parts, and were keeping them ready to assemble in a warehouse. That’s as close to consensus reality as makes no difference. AND they were on the edge of moving from regional, Israel-hitting missiles, to ICBM, Western Europe heavy missiles. Such that half the planet was now at stake. And with nuclear warheads, above.
That definitely happens if you do nothing. Which only leaves the question, when.
I’m not taking a position on that. My resting position is “Leave everyone alone” but that’s what happens to Iran and the planet if you do nothing. “Nothing” is not a resting state, “Nothing” is an Active state and decision. That only leaves the question “when”. So IF nothing; THEN what is the day Iran can blackmail France and India? We can’t even “Be careful” around Iran, because “Around Iran” is now any ship we have in the ocean in half the planet.
So now add, IS Iran, the IRGC which has well-proven is the only military in Iran — there is no “regular army” — IF they are paid terror outfit from London, (As is Israel, btw) then it’s not “A Nation” in the way we generally think of. It’s like London paid for “Dr. No” to be on-tap for them, so they can nuke anybody they like (Including Russia) and have deniability so they don’t get nuked themselves in Mutual Assured Destruction. Overthrowing the entire post-nuclear era. Nukes a-flying, with no Mutual Assured Destruction, but constant blackmail state.
I don’t have a position on that either, but IF it were true – and seems incredibly easy to believe to me – THEN “Leaving Iran Alone” isn’t actually a thing either. …But neither is nuking London. Because no one will believe they’re the head and cause. But that makes the whole thing make perfect sense, and the decision, while unfortunate, perfectly logical and necessary at this time, or some time near to it.
Then we go back to “What should the End State be” in the Middle East? Weakened, leveled Israel. Removed U.S. Sorely weakened but normal sovereign Iran, balanced by the many Gulf states. That’s what’s happening. And also No outside influence, IF indeed there is a W. Europe/London master out there, they need to be cut off and collapsed. That’s also happening.
As everyone loves Empire, when Trump says “Iran can no longer nuke from here to Straits of Malacca,” and goes home, everyone is MAD. They’re like “No Trump!!! You have to take and control Hormuz!” Really? Why? Idgaf what happens in Hormuz, as our stuff doesn’t transit there. EUROPE does, if they want it, go get it, go pay for it. He said that in the most barren way possible only yesterday. Europe said no. They want all the things WITHOUT paying for them. YOU pay for them. That’s what being a colonial master means.
So all the Peace people don’t want us to go home; they want him to invade Iran, control the Straits for another 80 years, and then complain about everything and do nothing.
It’s very simple: Do we stay? Or do we go? You tell me. You say if we put in troops for Kuwait, we’re “Going in” – despite Kuwait is sovereign and is no doubt paying us for them. But if we leave you say, “We LOST!!!” “It’s Over!” “This Changes Everything!!”
Which is it? It’s bad if we increase, it’s bad if it stays the same, and it’s bad if we remove. All things are bad.
Quite a chess player there! All moves are bad! They all have consequences, and I don’t like that! Be helpful. What move ISN’T bad? Or is LESS bad? What do you want? Unicorns and rainbows? Everyone in the Middle East will sing Kumbaya in harmony if we leave. (or us and Israel leave). Yeah, history says no. This is before us, and will continue after us.
Krainer-Schlanger’s analysis is so far off that their HOST, CryptoRich, sounds smarter. That’s embarrassing, and I’m trying to figure out what they’re missing. Key items is when they don’t know anything, above ^^ they don’t stop. They Should say WAIT. What was that again? Is there something hiding there? Second, WHEN they don’t know, they jump immediately to Emotions and People. KUSHNER is a Jew, and a Jerk. Trump is an idiot who didn’t-know-what-every-military-planner-clearly-told him. No. HE KNEW. He can’t know and not know. EVERYBODY knew this would happen, and in fact they’re far, far AHEAD of what most expected to happen. But Iran is certain to get a lot of shots off at this point, and that was always the problem. So we’re exactly where everyone EXPECTED.
They KNEW. They weren’t “Stupid”.
…Yet they did it anyway. Why?
And if you say “’cause they’re stupid” I’m going to scream. No. They did it for reasons THEY CAN’T TELL YOU. They’re lying. And the reason isn’t “We’re taking Iran” above, because that was never an option. No Pentagon Plan ever said that. Or not in this timeframe.
So the Plan, and the Reason, is somewhere else.
Krainer points out the school, or Trump’s public triumphalism about Iranian deaths, is appalling. Yes. It is. But it’s blinding Krainer to “There’s a reason”. Because when he’s emotionally disgusted like that, the “Reason” becomes “Man Bad.” He can be both, but they’re disconnected reasons. YES he should not do that, and YES wars cause that, and – for me – Wtf are you thinking? You think We Americans LIKE that kind of talk? We don’t actually and you thinking we do is very insulting. BUT. It’s also unrelated to the reasons for the war. You can be Stalin and STILL be attacked and have to attack back. Stalin not being a swell guy has nothing to do with why he waited or why he shot back. They’re disconnected.
They’re connecting them a lot. Conflating them, Most people are. I’m not. I think that’s a major part of what’s going on. They keep saying “Well Bad man is bad” so they don’t have to LOOK. And it doesn’t matter who, as they do the same with Putin or whoever. It’s a way to be lazy and arrogant and not curious and human.
Example (bc so common) “Apr 03 Bob Moriarty Says The Iran War Is Unwinnable And US Forces Should Leave The Middle East YT
Then Trump’s your man, Bob, be happy! He says the war is over, has no interest (so far) in rebuilding and manning the Iraq bases. Nor holding the Straits. Trump is doing exactly what Moriarty says, and he’s furious about it. Why? How can that even be? If I tell you to get out this bar and get lost, and you head to the door, why am I still mad and want to punch you to keep you from leaving? You’re doing exactly what I JUST ORDERED you to. This is a really deep and important question. How can they be mad the Empire is getting BIGGER, but also mad when it’s SMALLER? Something’s gone wrong.
And that “Something” will be a lie.
“Apollo missions to the Moon “didn’t represent humanity because ‘Apollo was all white men…'”
What does that even mean? They call Muslim Bosnians who don’t speak English yet “White men”. African Americans like Elon are “White men”. Obama who is white from a white home, is black. Because it’s “Whatever my feelz,” which they say open and often. Suppose the whole crew is black: does that mean every black man gets a residual from his paycheck?
Then why wouldn’t he because “An American” did this? “Black” is a group but “American” is not a group?
I have to go do useful things though: the Internet is ever increasingly round-the-bend, as above.
AI accountability. Claims of the impact of AI rhyme with claims of corporate process. The LLC and its “process”, which has increasingly become AI like. However we handle one should be the way we handle both. Eliminate the LLC. Bad corporate behavior might be less if humans were accountable. Maybe the difference is understandable by looking at who the investors in each are?
Bombshell #1
Absolute bombshell. Judge Napolitano drops a massive truth bomb on live TV, confirming Pat Buchanan’s infamous warning: The US Congress is literally “Israeli-occupied territory.” He reveals Zionist donors finance over two-thirds of Congress and completely control Trump.
Duh!?!?
Bombshell #2
BOMBSHELL REVELATION: Tulsi Gabbard drops a truth bomb, “Joe Biden was not calling the shots.. and neither was Kamala Harris” in charge. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and the Deep State using the Autopen to run the Joe Biden Presidency.
Loud when it is easy to be loud.

UNABOMBER MANIFESTO – The Burning Platform
The Unabomber Trial: The Manifesto
Editor’s Note: This is the text of a 35,000-word manifesto as submitted to The Washington Post and the New York Times by the serial mail bomber called the Unabomber. The manifesto appeared in The Washington Post as an eight-page supplement that was not part of the news sections. This document contains corrections that appeared in the Friday, Sept. 22, 1995 editions of Washington Post. The text was sent in June, 1995 to The New York Times and The Washington Post by the person who calls himself “FC,” identified by the FBI as the Unabomber, whom authorities have implicated in three murders and 16 bombings. The author threatened to send a bomb to an unspecified destination “with intent to kill” unless one of the newspapers published this manuscript. The Attorney General and the Director of the FBI recommended publication.

Thank you for the link Michael.
An excerpt from the manifesto. Actual brainwashing during the golden age of the “system”, that is still defended as the one and only.
But it is clear that the advertising and marketing industry has had an important part in creating that culture. The big corporations that spend millions on advertising wouldn’t be spending that kind of money without solid proof that they were getting it back in increased sales. One member of FC met a sales manager a couple of years ago who was frank enough to tell him, “Our job is to make people buy things they don’t want and don’t need.” He then described how an untrained novice could present people with the facts about a product, and make no sales at all, while a trained and experienced professional salesman would make lots of sales to the same people. This shows that people are manipulated into buying things they don’t really want.

Unusual accusation from Iranian source –
US Trying to Bomb and Kill Downed Fighter’s Pilot in Iran: Source
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A military source told Tasnim that the US is trying to bomb and kill the pilot of a fighter jet that was shot down in Iran two days ago.
“After their disappointment to rescue the pilot of a fighter jet that was shot down by Iranian armed forces two days ago, the Americans are seeking to bomb and kill pilot in locations where he is likely to be present,” a military source told the Tasnim news agency.
The source noted that several American fighter jets bombed some areas in Kohgiluyeh city of the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad province tonight because they thought their pilot was present in this area.
The Americans are desperate to find their second person, whom they call the flight crew, and for this reason they want to kill him by bombing several places, he added.
The source did not comment on whether the individual is currently in the hands of Iranian forces.
“We are not saying anything about this at the moment, but one thing that can be mentioned is that the Americans are not telling the whole truth, even about the first pilot, whom they claimed they saved.”

Ted, the ‘Unibomber” was being groomed to be 1 of them, drugs, mindfuck, the whole 9 yards. His insights are compelling because he acted out as an individual,{which they hate} and said fuck this. It’s a psychopathic jew run governing class who wants you dead. Covid clotshots prove it. Trumpforeskinstein sending young Americans off to die, on Easter, no less, proves it. 911 proves it. Kennedy and the Liberty proves it. Will people wake up? I doubt it.

Marcia BakerApril 3, 2026 . 8:55 PMIran’s B1 bridge linking Tehran and Karaj was hit by U.S.-Israeli strikes. Credit: X
As of the beginning of the sixth week of warfare by the United States and Israel against Iran, their respective military operations titled “Epic (Epstein) Fury” and “Roaring Lion,” are clearly seen as a combined Operation “Stone Age,” from the predictable escalation of their bombings and attacks currently underway. The impact is escalating worldwide as well, in terms of disruption of fuel, chemicals, food, transportation, and means of life for hundreds of millions of people.U.S. President Donald Trump boasted of the United States’ capacity for destruction in his broadcast address to the nation on April 1, saying he could, “bomb Iran back to the Stone Ages,” if he wanted to.
On April 2, U.S.-Israeli forces bombed the new “B1” suspension bridge in northern Iran, which opened in 2023, as the tallest in Southwestern Asia. The weapons split the bridge span in two, killing people in the hit, and more people in the double tap. Another dramatic bombing in the past two days hit the Pasteur Institute in Tehran. Established in 1920, it is the oldest health and medical research centers in Iran, and all of the region.
These two bombings come amidst thousands of other attacks from drones and air strikes. Nationwide, according to the latest report of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, covering the damage over the past five weeks, “115,193 civilian units, including 91,498 homes and 22,580 commercial facilities, have suffered severe damage or been completely destroyed.”
At the same time, Iran continues its defense. Early Friday, April 3, a U.S. F-15 E fighter jet was shot down in southwestern Iran, near the top of the Persian Gulf. U.S. forces report they have rescued one of the two crew members of the plane, while still searching for the other. Meantime, a second U.S. aircraft was downed by Iran, reportedly part of the search effort, with the pilot ejecting outside Iran territory.
What we are seeing is how the U.S. has turned into a hegemon, completely relying on force. Trump posted on Truth Social today, “Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran,” he said. “Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!”
The U.S. stance was described by Russian senior diplomat Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov in a TASS interview out on April 3: “The emphasis on exclusivity, hegemonism, and the use of force is absolute in Washington’s current policy. This is one of the reasons why the world is being shaken by one crisis after another….”
Moreover, the U.S. war machine is claiming divine approval for its use of force to kill and destroy. At the April 1 White House Easter lunch, attended by President Trump, Pastor Paula White-Cain, Senior Adviser to the White House Faith Office, likened Trump to Jesus. Describing how they both had travails, she intoned to Trump: “Because He rose, we all know we can rise, and, Sir, because of His resurrection you rose up. Because He was victorious, you were victorious. And I believe that the Lord said to tell you this: Because of His victory, you will be victorious in all you put your hand to.”
Within hours afterward, the White House website took down their coverage of White-Cain and all the other speeches at the event, posting “page not available,” but the stance is clear. It is the same as repeatedly displayed by self-styled Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who also posted this week about blasting Iran back to the “Stone Age.” On April 2, he peremptorily ousted from office three top Army officers, which has the strong odor—though details are not public—of eliminating opposition to his claims that “God is with us,” and destruction is noble. Note that one of them removed from office on April 2 is Major General William “Bill” Green, Chief of Chaplains of the U.S. Army’s Chaplains. He is an endorsed minister of the National Baptist Convention of the U.S.A.
There is no placating this madness. It must be stopped. At today’s International Peace Coalition—the 148 consecutive Friday session—Helga Zepp-LaRouche, initiator of the IPC and leader of the Schiller institute, called on collaborators internationally to mobilize enough political forces to defeat the war drive. She said, it can be done. That is the purpose of the emergency dialogue set for April 6, hosted by this EIR News Service as its third online roundtable this year.
Pope Leo XIV has over this Holy Week raised the urgency of ending the warfare and acting for peace, in repeated ways since March 29 Palm Sunday, when he stated, God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.” Today, Good Friday, he spoke by phone with Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, and Ukraine’s acting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calling for them to conduct diplomatic solutions to the warfare they are waging.
Importantly, in the United States, Archbishop Timothy Broglio, who heads up the Catholic chaplains across all the U.S. military, has spoken out, raising the issue of the Pope’s call for negotiation for peace, as specifically differentiated from the justification for war given by Defense Secretary Hegseth. Broglio was asked about this for a CBS News interview that will air on Easter Sunday, April 5. Broglio was formerly President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, whose current President, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, issued a statement on April 1, 2026 for “an effective dialogue that leads to a ceasefire and a negotiated end to the conflict with Iran.”
Now is the time to endorse and circulate the letter issued March 9 by Helga Zepp-LaRouche, who “Calls On Pope Leo XIV To Intervene on the Level of Nicholas of Cusa.”
Attend the EIR Emergency Roundtable on April 6.
Zepp-LaRouche ended her remarks at today’s IPC discussion, with what she called, “her Easter message”: “I can only say, you have to try to evoke the very best inside your own soul you ever have been thinking about, and make that grow, and make it become a force of political intervention. Because only if we mobilize the best in all of humanity to act together right now, do we have a chance to stop this catastrophe. So those are my words for Easter.”
