    Trump tells Al Jazeera both economic warfare and military strikes effective against Iran
    We can now bring you more from US President Trump, who earlier spoke with Al Jazeera’s Tanya Noury.

    Asked whether the US’s economic warfare against Iran would be more effective than its military attacks, Trump said: “I think they are both effective.”

    Trump also reiterated his claim that the US is “winning very big” in the war and that Iran’s economy is “falling apart”.

    “Canada Is Done With Trump” -New York Times Podcasts

    Newsflash. ‘Coz Up ‘til now they loved him. Wow, sucks to be them since they have nothing to say about it except to make it far worse.

    “It Happened: Iran BEGS for a Peace Deal As Trump RAVAGES Their Economy Without Dropping Single BOMB…”

    No. Showing you can just go find anything on the Internet, any opinion from any side. So does this author have anything like a good track record? Are they ever correct? Hahahahaha! Surely you jest! No one ever checks or cares about that! They wronger they were, and the longer, 10, 20 years, the better and more credibility they have. Polling site with no polls, appeared yesterday, totally true, and no apologies!

    Honestly, we only have the haziest fact about Canada or Iran situations right now. Big brush, no small brush anywhere. Is the strait even open as they claim? Well, remains to be seen, but the oil prices and actions of major nations seem to say so.

    “We’re going to get through this We’re going to get Europe back We’re going to deport millions.”

    Yes. Will you learn not to do it in the first place? Like Covid. Will you learn to think for yourself and not trust blindly? I fear not. It will move 20-30%. Even not all the immigrants will leave and you’ll limp on changed, made African, Muslim instead of restoring your values. Globalists win, taking 99 yards and giving up only 10.

    You do know that, like Trump, the Globalists will now FORCE Alice, LePen, to use VIOLENCE while in office. Then they’ll decry Hitler while she was merely stopping Gates from releasing ebola somewhere. This is just 101, not 4D chess anywhere, predictable as rain.

    “President Javier Milei has just BANNED the Muslim Brotherhood”

    The Muslim Brotherhood is a known terrorist organization for 100 years, so…what gives? How was it they ever got in that position to get pushed back only this tiny bit. If you’re going to ban them, also track them down worldwide and shoot them. I mean, are they bad, or what? Explain in great and legal detail.

    “• Mojtaba Khamenei Is (Still) Dead (Rick Moran) –Or Rick Moranas.

    If he’s only met with 5 people he’s not running the country anyway. Duh. Makes no difference.

    We have a passion for pretending. Why. Do you not know how reality works? That a CEO that doesn’t talk to anyone isn’t in charge? Thought two, 0.00035 seconds after: then who is?

    “• Iran Airs Video of Barron Trump, Offers $10 Million Bounty On His Head (ZH)

    Apparently this is real, at least on the face of it. Makes no sense to me. “Iran” doesn’t have $10M dollars, so…big problem. Suppose you’re “Day of the Jackal”. How do you propose to be paid? RyanAir yourself over to Tehran on a vacation and present at the embassy? Think.

    Okay, next question: what’s the bounty on Trump’s head if a nobody from nothin’ is $10M?

    A: They would burn everything in Canada, Britain, Germany, Spain, and the United States, Trillions of dollars to get just one man. …Because Trump works for the Deep State, ‘natch. Okay well, there’s sure SOMETHING wrong with this picture!

    “The disturbing video also claims to track the Barron’s movements and displayed depictions of dorms at New York University.”

    Yeah, I can do that. That’s not special. 16M NYers could do that on a weekend. I do have the psychic impression, as do others, that Barron is going to go on to do things though. Why, dunno. By logic should be Eric and Don. Like Trump, (or Elon) Barron is also in more than one 19th century printed book tho.

    “Top Zelensky Staffer Led Out Of Corruption Court In Handcuffs (ZH)

    They’re all corrupt as the Gambinos so how do you decide? Why bother? Well apparently because corruption is so universal, she is unusually careless. It’s not money, it’s respect. She’s embarrassing.

    “.. preparing to revoke the business and tourism visas of up to 200,000 foreigners..”

    Why has this not happened already? Not only that, this isn’t “Tourism” as the next line says “Asylum” etc users. Yeah, no, there is no “Asylum”– that’s reserved for like 10-100 people a year. Go fix your own country like we do.

    “Deport all illegal aliens. The deportation goal should be 1 million/month.
    Cancel all H1B visas. No renewals. They are being abused.
    Cancel all J1 (temp work) Visas. They too are being abused.”

    That’s cray-cray. They’re using H1B visas to get a Volleyball coach for $40k and Hotel Hilton Helpdesk clerks because these are jobs no American can do. A single American who knows how to play volleyball? C’mon.

    “Although Kokinda missed mentioning the meeting between Barack Obama and Mark Carney”

    Remember how being within 500 yards of a foreigner, when your job was diplomat was cause for FBI jail under the Logan Act? Good times. Man I couldn’t be happier Canada wants to obey the DNC/Obama like a slave. They fail at everything, openly and catastrophically and this will make relations with Canada far easier later on.

    Btw in Canada big scandal he won’t release the notes of what the trade deal was. Didn’t realize you could do that as a common thing, but yes, the nation paid for it, and Parliament is entitled, it’s not a different branch. Okay then, I understand. Scandalize him, it clearly demonstrates the Canadian people would read what they gave up for 50% tariffs and say WTF. …Or he would happily release it and prove his point. Canadian official report from last time said they ran the numbers and Canadian firms ate ALL the tariffs, down to the penny, and the U.S. wasn’t hurt at ALL. No surprise to anyone with math. So this is a known quantity by their own records, and Carney wants to hurt Canada twice as much for 2x Zero gain again. Nice. Divide by zero. That’s what happens when your leader isn’t elected, but air-dropped, and run from England.

    ““Mark Carney chases Canada’s businesses to the U.S., and Trump welcomes them with open arms.”

    He’s not just saying this, this is visible and measurable, past-tense.

    20% of Canadian manufacturers have already moved some of their production to the United States, and over 30% intend to do so in the coming years.” I’m sure that’s far higher now. Canada is now WEAKER to fight Orange Hitler. No wonder Trump said Carney was his favorite pick.

    “Elon Musk said that he is going to match dollar for dollar the Democratic oligarchic class that if they start to donate in great amounts to Democratic candidates. So, the money issue probably favors also, like, the redistricting and maybe the course of the Iran war that could wane” VDH

    They are taking up another critical front: None of the Representatives are legal. Census Bureau is reviewing and released docs that say, eg NY has 200k extra people. That means 1-2 House seats vanish? In ten states? It’s the new redistricting, and they’re not kidding, nor should they. It’s the tip of the iceberg as tourists OBVIOUSLY shouldn’t count for U.S. census reasons, another whole issue. That might be 50 seats. (this is screwy, as there are 400 seats that would then re-balance among the states.)

    What are the Seats? Yeah, they’re also Electoral college, as NY drops – appropriately, as everyone has fled – and appear in Red Texas and Florida. That was also a 30 year fraud. President gets locked in as GOP for 30 yeas as well. This is not illegal; this is undoing previous frauds. They had decades to make their illegal Reps make good for the nation. Now we are enforcing rules again.

    “• “What are You Gonna Even Do with More Money?” Abdul El-Sayed (Turley)

    Oddly, create more businesses that employ more people. What if they keep it in a bank? A: It is loaned out 10x to OTHER people who create businesses and employ people. Sounds terrible. They don’t have “Money”, that’s not under the bed. They have a 2nd power boat and their bank money, bond money, and stock money is working daily to …You guessed it, fund businesses and create jobs.

    You poors think “Money” is in your front pocket, the envelope by the door, losing value every day. No. Not 1% of “Rich” money is in any stagnant form, it is all Working. Invested elsewhere. Their money IS the business. It IS your paycheck. See “It’s a Wonderful Life”, sir.

    Government money, on the other hand…. Dead loss. It is taken from somewhere and burned in a big pile like the Joker, producing nothing. Sayed and Piker and Mamdani should know this, begin multimillionaires from multimillionaire families. (They do. They just want more) AOC is a multimillionare now iirc, as is Bernie. Funny how that happens.

    Don’t worry about the math, Wealth vs Income. They don’t care. If you have a nickel they want it. That’s why people at the poverty line are taxed to s—t from the “Income Tax” from “Monopoly” that in 1915 was only for these same billionaires. Now it’s on $16/hr minimum wage.

    “Hasan Piker: American Jews are Asking for Attacks on Them (Turley)

    They were dressing provocatively in their yarmulkes. They had it coming, their noses practically spilling out of their bra and top. Thanks Hasan. Are all multimillionaires dicks like you?

    “In order for the Democrats to take control of the culture and ultimately the government, people have to die. It’s just a fact”

    I don’t want to say it, but the American people won’t do it voluntarily, and haven’t. So probably. Problem is, this is 30 year setup of the Russian Revolution 2.0 civil war in the US which Deagel said would kill 200 million – an accurate assessment. But all that required THE DEMOCRATS RUN THE GOVERNMENT, which they don’t. And at very specific times, like Hillary vowing to nuke Russia in 2017. If they are OUT of government, they’re fighting themselves while we watch. That’s not adequate. Remember: rural farmers and survivormen against the whole split US Army and the cities. Nope. Not now. That is no longer the breaking line. And the races are awake and realizing they’ve been had. They’re not at all one side, esp the Spanish.

    “Lindsay Clancy brutally strangled her 3 kids to death”

    There’s not much you can do or even talk about in this. And worse, this isn’t an outlier: women alone are rapidly pro-abortion and pro-rape, radically anti-woman in sports or in schools or restrooms. It’s breathtaking madness enough to make people seriously discuss removing the vote until they get themselves under control and out of a Clancy-like madness. Mass formation psychosis, easily diagnosed as being so overwhelming.

    No. Clancy specifically should sue the Pharma to bankruptcy as they prescribe her to madness at the drop of a hat, 13 psycho-meds, even one of which would be dangerous enough and indeed in the past, to take those meds you’d have to be in an institution for oversight. But that has nothing to do with women going literally insane, unwilling to accept female responsibility for anything, ever, even when openly, legally admitted by the nation, the court, the media, and Clancy herself. Now you see how George Floyd happened, when at least it was denied? She and everyone admits, makes no difference, not a tiny dent at all.
    And yes, as this writer says, is it a bloodlust? Also yes! And for what? Dunno!! No idea! To and for no productive end, just because they can! Power of feeling it, letting go. My Fee-fees! Feel so good to have POWER!!! Power to do what??? Men ask. Power = Shitty responsibility. Responsibility and restraint? Hahahaha, you kid, sir. I do what I like. Yeah, that’s not power as any man knows it, nor is violence free. Only women and children dream so, any man over 15 already knows.

    Shows how much they like Dolly to suffer the name of Jesus to be published in public for her. For no other reason wold they allow this. Don’t worry: tomorrow is another day to hunt and kill Christians.

    “It doesn’t look like much, but this building will produce 27,000 Optimus humanoid robots per day at full capacity.”

    Why? For what possible reason? A: A war only. Only reason you could want or need this. And then the enemy hacks them and points them at the humans. 101. You fools.

    “Starship is going to do the same for space… give humanity the capability to cross worlds, return, go again,”

    Go where? Rhode Island had trees. And air. And not radiation that would kill you in minutes.

    So I can travel to Mars to live in a cave and never see the sun again or perish? Why? I can do that here.

    Hey, if you want to terraform Mars to have air and fly there in 10,000 years we can have that discussion, otherwise, wtf? And you’re going to pave all life on earth to do it. No. Bad dog.

    “Only 35% Of Women Under-25 Have Positive View Of Men; Survey Finds ‘Heteroflexible’ Is The Fastest Growing Sexual Orientation In America”

    I assure you , neither this nor the frenzy for sexism and murder is shared by men, who are still trying to accommodate women while being punched in the nose furiously. Again, this is all Smartphones, so you tell me how to fix it. As in other fields, the sane must contain and aid the insane, however that must be, and with the supernatural humility that requires.

    Reality Report or gross exaggeration
    https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-inflicted-billions-in-damage-to-us-intelligence-sites

    Iranian strikes caused unprecedented damage to US intelligence posts and surveillance hardware in West Asia, costing billions to repair, NBC News reported.

    Iranian missile and drone attacks have inflicted damage on US intelligence posts and surveillance hardware in West Asia that is more extensive than any destruction America’s spy agencies have endured, costing billions of dollars to repair, NBC News reported, citing four people with knowledge of the matter.

    The strikes have forced Congress to find funds to restore the targeted facilities and prompted officials to weigh how to redeploy personnel and intelligence resources in the region, two of the sources told NBC.

    The attacks have also raised questions about why the Pentagon, the American intelligence community and the State Department were not better prepared to defend government facilities from drone and missile strikes, military experts and former US officials said.

    Part of a broader response to US aggression
    The report follows an earlier NBC assessment in April that found Iranian strikes since the aggression was launched on February 28 had hit more than 100 targets across at least 11 US military installations in seven countries, including Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

    The American Enterprise Institute estimated infrastructure repair costs alone could exceed $5 billion, not including damaged equipment and weapons systems.

    Meanwhile, the Pentagon has declined to provide detailed public damage assessments, citing operational security.

    Penatgon seeks funding to replenish stockpiles
    In late July, the Pentagon requested $67 billion in emergency funding for the current fiscal year, of which $18.2 billion is earmarked to replace advanced Patriot missiles, Navy Tomahawks, and the Army’s THAAD high-altitude interceptors, according to documents sent to congressional defense committees.

    The previously undisclosed breakdown includes $5.75 billion for THAAD interceptors, $5.57 billion for Patriot Missile Segment Enhancement models, $1.9 billion for SM-6 missiles, and $3.28 billion for three versions of the Navy’s RTX Corp. family of standard missile interceptors.

    It also includes $100 million to purchase a classified Lockheed Martin air-to-air weapon called the Joint Advanced Tactical Missile, which has not yet been fielded. The US fired 13,629 munitions at Iranian targets between the start of the war on February 28 and the April ceasefire, according to Bloomberg, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Caine has privately warned that renewed major combat operations against Iran could dangerously deplete the interceptor supplies available to US Central Command.

    Can you follow the road signs?

    Would huge data centers be required with a Chat room with links to specialized A.I.

    Claude

    Short answer: no, not necessarily — and that’s actually one of the appeals of this kind of architecture.

    Here’s the key distinction: the “chat room” part (the interface where people type messages and see responses) is lightweight. It’s just handling text, routing requests, and displaying results — that’s trivial compute, could run on a basic web server.

    The heavy computational cost lives in the specialized AI models themselves, not the room that links to them. And there are a few ways that cost gets handled without you needing your own data center:

    **If you’re calling existing AI services via API** (like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or smaller specialized models), someone else already built and runs the data center. You just send requests over the internet and pay per use. This is how the vast majority of “AI-powered app” projects work — a solo developer or small team can build something that taps into serious AI capability without owning any specialized hardware.

    **If you wanted to self-host the specialized models**, the requirement scales with the models’ size, not with the chat room concept. A small, narrow specialized model (say, one fine-tuned for medical terminology lookup or code review) might run on a single GPU or even a decent consumer machine. A frontier-scale model would need serious infrastructure. So “huge data centers” depends entirely on which models you’re linking to and how many concurrent users you expect — not on the fact that it’s structured as a hub-and-spoke chat room.

    **The routing/orchestration layer itself** — deciding which specialized AI to send a query to — adds almost no computational burden. That logic is cheap.

    So the architecture you’re describing (a central interface linking out to various specialized AI backends) is actually a common and efficient pattern precisely *because* it lets you avoid running your own massive infrastructure — you’re borrowing capability rather than hosting it.

    If you’re thinking about building something like this, I’m happy to get more concrete — are you picturing calling existing AI APIs, or hosting your own specialized models?
    ———–
    Copilot
    Bottom line
    Specialists can be small, cheap, and independently hosted.
    Huge data centers are only required for giant general‑purpose models — not for specialists.

    EXCLUSIVE Ex CIA & PEPE :Hormuz Deal in 24 Hours? Iran–US Deal: Sequencing Agreed SANCTIONS LIFTED

    A source described by Zulfiqar Ali as the person drafting a Pakistani announcement says Iran and the United States have agreed on a contemporaneous first step: a controlled reopening of the Strait of Hormuz alongside U.S. sanctions and naval-blockade relief. That claim is not yet publicly corroborated. What is verified is that Pakistan’s mediation channel is active, Iran and Oman are working on a temporary maritime corridor, Hormuz remains severely disrupted, and Washington has just intensified sanctions pressure.
    In this urgent Transition Protocol conversation, Pepe Escobar and Larry C. Johnson stress-test the reported Trump–Iran off-ramp: who moves first, what “simultaneous” action would actually mean, whether a 60–90 day indirect process exists, how an oil and fuel shock changes Washington’s choices, and why Trump—or a third-party spoiler—could still collapse the window. The central question is not whether officials sound hopeful. It is whether reciprocal action becomes observable.
    Zulfiqar Ali brings source-based reporting from Pakistani and Iranian contacts; Pepe Escobar and former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson provide geopolitical and security analysis. Transition Protocol is a source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel focused on evidence, power shifts, and real-world consequences. Source claims in this episode are identified as developing or uncorroborated where appropriate.#StraitOfHormuz #Iran #Trump #IranUS #Pakistan #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #OilPrices #Sanctions #PepeEscobar #LarryJohnson #AsimMunir #MiddleEast #DeDollarization #TransitionProtocol
