• Trump-Netanyahu “Differences”: A Good Cop-Bad Cop Routine
I suppose that with a big enough stretch of the imagination you could characterize the Trump-Netanyahu schtick as a good cop bad routine, but there are other better choices of nomenclature.
For example, “Bad Cop – Worse Cop”, or “Dumb and Dumber”. I know these billings are really scraping the bottom of the barrel, but the basic problem is that we need a deeper dirtier barrel to scrape the bottom of to acquire dregs that are disgusting enough to be sufficiently descriptive.
One final try. How about, “Two Losers“?

The Iranian version of ceasefire.
“Iran’s armed forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered.”
“Leave our region if you want to be safe.”
Tasnim News reported that Iran is threatening to retaliate for US’ retaliation:”
Iran will respond to US aggression.
As warned hours earlier, Iran will deliver a decisive response to the US aggression, which is being carried out under the pretext of an Apache helicopter crash.”—————
The USA version of ceasefire.Update (12:45pm ET): following earlier reports that a US AH-64 Apache helicopter had gone down over the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman in an unprecedented first of the Iran war, moments ago Trump said on Truth Social that he had “been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
————–
The Israeli version of ceasefire.
The Israeli military also targeted towns and villages across southern Lebanon, including areas that were not covered by evacuation warnings, according to the country’s state-run news agency.” So clearly the air raids are expanding, per the report, even after the latest Trump warnings directed at Netanyahu to not do anything that would sabotage a broader Iran peace agreement.

And, by the way, what has Trump achieved 100 days after starting the war on Iran?
With closure of the Strait of Hormuz, that he now desperately tries to reopen, he has only made things worse for him, his party, his country and the whole world (see Fars)!—————
Understood. In my defense I will say that I was trying to keep the terminology within the genre of what one might call a well known theatrical routine. If we broaden the rules to allow suggested names for movies I suggest, “Slime Maggots From Outer Space”, or even, “Demons From Hell”
To describe Trump and Netanyahu for what the really and truly are would be far too clinical and depressing to have much appeal to the General Viewing Audience that we’re trying to reach.
Calling those jerks the “Douch Bag Duo” sells more tickets than a multi-page diagnosis based on the DSM of Psychiatry or the libraries of Statutory Law.If “Netanyahu” has become an AI ghost-in-the-machine, and he is to be replaced in September elections, then the Trump friction narrative will grow, as Trump is more broadly popular in Israel.

“Netanyahu” may exist stage left…“AI-powered trading systems could enable collusion between autonomous agents and create unfair insider advantages through opaque strategies.”
Wowser! That’s one helluva good quote. Where did you get it from (who said it?) With a very small adjustment the same brilliant thing could be said of our government and entire civilization.
A legally secretive violence enforced governance system could enable collusion between autonomous agents and create unfair insider advantages through opaque strategies.
Hi Germ. Nice to see you.

@ D Benton Smith
A little while back I had copilot dig up the A.I. that were being used by Israel to help them commit their crimes.
Here is the latest search by copilot.Short answer:
Israel is currently using at least 10 identifiable AI systems across targeting, surveillance, intelligence fusion, and population control — all confirmed by recent reporting. These systems are primarily developed and deployed by Unit 8200, Israel’s elite signals‑intelligence and cyber unit.
Below is the full, sourced list.🇮🇱 AI Systems Used by Israel (Confirmed by Reporting)
1. AI‑Enhanced Audio Analysis Systems
Used to intercept, analyze, and geolocate targets by processing voice communications.Enabled the strike on Hamas commander Ibrahim Biari by pinpointing his location through AI‑processed audio.
2. Facial Recognition AI (West Bank & Gaza)
Deployed at checkpoints and during raids to identify Palestinians.Used for population control, arrests, and tracking.
Has caused misidentifications and wrongful detentions.
3. AI‑Powered Surveillance Cameras (Gaza Crossings)
High‑resolution cameras with AI‑based facial recognition and movement analysis.Used to track individuals entering/exiting Gaza.
4. AI‑Driven Targeting Systems
Unit 8200 uses AI to:Filter intelligence
Generate target lists
Accelerate kill‑chain decisions
Identify tunnel networks
5. Arabic‑Language Chatbots
AI chatbots trained on Arabic social media and communications.Assist analysts in processing huge volumes of Arabic text.
Struggle with dialects and slang.
6. AI‑Based Communication Analysis Tools
Systems that analyze:Text messages
Social media posts
Intercepted communications
Used to identify suspects, track networks, and flag “patterns of interest.”7. AI‑Supported Voice‑Matching Tools
Used to match intercepted voices to known individuals.Applied in tunnel searches and hostage‑tracking operations.
8. Unit 8200’s Classified Large Language Model (LLM)
A ChatGPT‑like AI model trained on millions of intercepted Palestinian conversations.Designed to answer questions about individuals
Used for incrimination, surveillance, and population monitoring
9. AI‑Enhanced Mapping & Tunnel‑Detection Tools
Used to analyze:Tunnel layouts
Underground movement
Structural patterns
Supports targeting and hostage‑rescue operations.10. “The Studio” — Unit 8200’s AI Development Hub
Not a single tool, but a dedicated AI lab inside Unit 8200.Builds new AI targeting tools
Collaborates with engineers from Google, Meta, Microsoft
Rapidly deploys experimental AI into combat
🧠 What These Systems Do in Practice
Across all sources, Israel’s AI systems are used for:Target generation (who to strike)
Target verification (is the person who we think they are?)
Hostage tracking
Population surveillance
Predictive policing
Rapid kill‑chain acceleration
Filtering massive intelligence datasets
These systems dramatically speed up Israeli military operations — but also increase the risk of misidentification, civilian casualties, and automated decision‑making without human oversight.
And if all of what you just reported on wasn’t enough to put the wobble in the colly of your deepest fears, then let me present you with the following video: WARNING ! The following video is for Geeks only, especially geeks with trust issues that borders on paranoia (because they’re not wrong).
I will cut to the chase and then paste the link: for the situation described in this video to even exist AT ALL (and it verifiably exists A LOT!) then it can be confidently concluded that the “Tech Bros” branch of the Blobulist Cabal has been open-field running with no significant opposition whatsoever. Free rein for several decades, and only the best and brightest of our suspicious geeks have even discovered what the Tech Bros have actually been up to. Hint: they’re practically finished with the build-out. It remains only for the switch to be flipped for it to be turned on.

War On Iran: – U.S. Provocation Towards Further Escalation
The war on Iran continues to escalate.Yesterday a U.S. Apache helicopter went down in the Strait of Hormuz near the coast of Oman. The pilots were saved. The U.S. at first did not claim any external influence for the incident. Only hours after it happened it claimed that an Iranian Shahid drone had hit the helicopter.
That claim is not plausible at all.

The City of London must be very pleased with provoking the Irish in Northern Ireland riots yesterday.
Now, the UK government can bring down the full weight of it’s police state and crush the rioters, so they accept their fate and never riot again.
Expect the proven Jan 6th method of picking off the rioters, one by one, and jail them without trials.
Starmer’s response was as expected.

“peacefire”
Excellent. If that meme-word doesn’t enter the international vocabulary then I need to have my brain revoked.
Dear me, so many people are lying that I hardly know who to believe any more. Wait! I’ve got it! Believe the ones who report whatever they claim to be true, and leave it up to the good sense and personal autonomy of the listener to be the FINAL judge of whether it’s true enough to personally believe, or not.
Feel free to argue, disagree, or persuade to your hearts content, but no one has the right to tell you what you have to believe. What you must or must not believe is between you and God to work out between just the two of you. Those who do not want you to do that behave otherwise. I encourage and persuade you to not believe those authoritarian types very much.
DBS:
It is interesting to note that Trump doesn’t seem to be bothered by how long the “peacefire” lasts, contrary to the MSM saying time is running out.
I can only surmise, that by reducing Iran’s oil sales to zero, that Trump is merely waiting until the real enemy, the City of London/Globalists, runs out of Iranian cash, and goes bankrupt!
All these false flag events, are merely the City of London/Globalists and the US playing peacefire games with each other, while the quiet, out-of-sight, financial part, runs it’s course!
Trump doesn’t seem to be bothered by how long the “peacefire” lasts,
One possible explanation is that Trump (and the many many many others who are just like him in regard to not caring how badly, blatantly or often they are shown up to be murderous power-mad and totally untrustworthy liars and scoundrels) is that they are STILL in charge of everything, which for them is simply SUCCESS. Why be worried about the stray dogs and riff raff yapping at your treads when your battle tank is still operating, you’re still in the driver’s seat, and the money is rolling in like never before.
To people like that (and there are MANY) the howling of victims is no more cause for concern (or worthy of notice) than the roar of the surf on the beach of your private island.

More explosions reported in Bandar Abbas
Iran’s Mehr news agency is reporting more explosions in Bandar Abbas, adding that the explosions were linked to an attack in the eastern part of the city.17m ago (22:15 GMT)
Iran had been bracing for this attackBy Mohamed Vall
Reporting from Tehran, IranThe Iranians had been bracing for this since the afternoon, since the Americans began to talk about a new wave of strikes.
The understanding yesterday and early this morning was that the exchange of attacks between the Iranians and Americans was over the downing of that Apache helicopter.
Both sides announced the end of their operations with regard to that situation. But now we have the Americans initiating their own wave of attacks against Iran and linking it to negotiations.
They seem to be impatient and unhappy about the pace of talks.
The Iranians are talking about a situation where they can’t accept being forced into a deal that is detrimental to the future and to the sovereignty of the country, and even to its security – a deal that the Americans are trying to force on them under the threat of bombing.
Breaking news from Iranian source –
From this moment on, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed to the passage of any type of vessel, including oil tankers and commercial vessels, and any traffic will be targeted.
The US claim that the ship passed through the aforementioned strait is denied.
About the interminable “peacefire”: “The purpose of a thing is what it does.”
This is providing a plausible narrative to an oil & gas shock being imposed upon the world. Burning the reserves right away, without economizing, assures that the shock will be maximal when it hits, and that there will be no recourse.

Tim Morgan, Surplus Energy Economics, The Long Run, Adventures In Thermo-Economics
British people were drastically poorer back in the 1960s than they are today, a statistical story which also holds true for every other Western country. Things must have been almost unbearably tough in those days.
What was it like, then, trying to cope with such extreme poverty?
Well – and as you may know, either anecdotally or through recollection – it was commonplace back in those “much poorer” 1960s for British couples to start families in their early twenties, either buying a home with a mortgage or renting a property from their local authority. Car ownership, though increasing rapidly, was a lot lower back then – but cars were actually owned…
..Median or “ordinary” people, then, could buy or rent a home, start a family, take holidays and run a car, and could do this with a modest mortgage, and with little or no other debt. Most remarkably, a majority did this on the income from a single wage-earner.
In the more prosperous United States, people probably started to enjoy the equivalent of these British experiences of the 1960s in the previous decade…
..This ‘easy’ answer is that aggregate wealth has indeed improved dramatically over the decades, but the vast majority of these gains have been pocketed by a small minority, to the detriment of everyone else.
The snag with this ‘explanation’ is that almost all contemporary wealth exists only on paper. Even the wealthiest are only one market crash, one banking collapse or one currency failure away from losing almost everything…
..The world’s average person may have enjoyed a $26,000 (56%) real terms increase in his or her share of GDP since 2005. But this average person’s share of debt and broader claims have increased, respectively, by $59,000 and about $150,000…
..Gross domestic product is not a measure of the amount of material economic value – in the form of goods and services – supplied by the economy in any given period. Rather, GDP is a monetary measure of transactional activity in the system.
In essence, most of the growth reported since 2005 has been nothing more substantial than the spending of huge and growing amounts of borrowed money.
We can calculate that fully 65% of all global “growth” reported over the past twenty years falls into this cosmetic category. On this basis, the material economic prosperity of the average person hasn’t increased at all since 2005 – but his or her burden of debts and quasi-debts undoubtedly has...
..Affluence, measured not just as GDP but as aggregate asset values as well, carries on growing until the economy slumps into the bankruptcy of having more debt than it can ever be expected to honour… We are, simply stated, likely to be at our point of maximum recorded affluence at the moment when the financial economy vanishes into a black hole...
..Ultimately, if money is a “claim on goods and services” it is, in reality, a claim on the energy required to make these things available. Likewise, debt, as ‘claim on future money’, is in fact a claim on future energy. This makes clear the need to think in terms of the parallel two economies of the material and the monetary…
..As depletion of the non-energy resource base gradually erodes conversion ratios, relentless rises in the proportionate Energy Cost of Energy have been driving a widening wedge between top-line economic output and ex-cost prosperity…
..What this demonstrates is that, in the years since 1980, growth in aggregate prosperity (+87%) has barely exceeded increases in world population numbers (+84%). This means that the average person was only about 1.4% materially more prosperous in 2025 than he or she had been back in 1980. With this statistic available to us, we can readily see why the imposition of a combination of worsening inequality, rapidly increasing debt burdens and rises in the real costs of necessities has led to a widening sense of hardship, insecurity and resentment…
..Had oil and gas not existed as successors to coal, the Great Depression might have become permanent, and recovery from the Wall Street Crash, which in any case took 25 years, might not have happened at all.
The big difference between now and then is that, despite outlandish claims made for renewables and nuclear power, no such ready-and-waiting successor to hydrocarbons exists today, and we’re about to discover that infinite, exponential economic growth on a finite planet really is the preserve of ‘madmen and economists’.
We’ve been trying – and, of necessity, failing – to reinvigorate the material economy using monetary tools. The result can only be a financial crash…
..The soundtrack to these processes is a cacophony of drivel about monetary innovation and technological miracles. Monetary “innovation” actually comes down to creating ever more credit, and embracing ever greater complexity risk…
..It also seems that technology advances in inverse proportion to the importance of the activity in question. Speed-of-light progress in digital communication doesn’t actually put more food on the table, and tends to use far more energy than any that it might help supply.
By contrast, the techniques used today in really important activities – like farming, extracting and refining ores, pumping water, producing oil and gas – would be readily recognisable to a time-traveller from 1926...
..What this project does seem to show, at this early stage, are some drastic differences between two different eras of interest – the years between 1945 and 1970, and between 1980 and 2025.
In the earlier period, indications are that material economic prosperity expanded by about 170%, far out-stripping population growth of 55% to leave the world’s average person twice as prosperous in 1970 than he or she had been back in 1945.
In the (longer) period between 1980 and 2025, prosperity carried on increasing, but at a rate (+87%) barely ahead of growth in population numbers (+84%). Having seen his or her prosperity double between 1945 and 1970, our ‘average’ person has seen no progress at all in a latter period characterised by cosmetic “growth”, and a worsening of indicators such as housing accessibility, financial insecurity and the burden of debt.
It’s unlikely that we’ll be able to quantify pre-1980 trends at the national or regional level, but we do know that emerging market economies have out-performed the West in modern times. If, then, global average prosperity per person has barely improved at all, the likelihood is that Westerners have become materially poorer. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2026/06/05/325-the-long-run/comment-page-1/ The Honest Sorcerer, on the things that induce human adaptation, time and war: On The Possibility of World War III… Decades of conflict instead of nuclear annihilation?
For many people world war three invokes images of a direct clash between nuclear powers, inevitably ending in a series of bright flashes over all major cities around the globe. The next big war, I argue, will be nothing of the sort. Instead of ending in a nuclear holocaust, the third world war—which is already in the making—will bring about decades of conflict, ending in a new world order. It will be much akin to the Thirty Years’ War (1618–48) fought in Western Europe over domination and coming with immense losses, but ultimately ending in the Treaty of Westphalia…
..Also… there are clear financial incentives to push the world into chaos, and to reap the immense profits to be made on war. After all, as Brigadier General Smedley D. Butler wrote in 1937 after fighting decades in servitude to US corporate interests in Latin America: “War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.”…
..What we have seen so far in Europe and the Middle East is just the beginning. Many more years, if not decades, of conflict is still ahead of us and eventually every great power will be involved—either directly, or through proxies to avoid direct confrontation with each other. Old rules are slowly discarded, but the new rules haven’t emerged yet. This is why we see a controlled demolition of the globalized world economy, with all its “rules” upended and international law disregarded in the most blatant way. Not because a secret cabal in a smoked filled room want’s this to happen, but because that’s how a dying system behaves: it struggles to survive against all odds and tries everything it can to live just a day longer. https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/on-the-possibility-of-world-war-iii Richard Revelstoke, The War Inside the Panopticon
There has never been a single all-seeing surveillance state — only rival ones. This is the story of how the West built the most complete surveillance machine in history, then broke it into warring pieces; how China built a second machine and put it up for sale; and why the result is not a panopticon but a quadropticon — four rival powers fighting over the controls of a machine...
..On January 26, 2014, the German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk asked Edward Snowden in a TV interview: “What could you do if you would use XKeyscore?”
Snowden:
“You could read anyone’s email in the world, anybody you’ve got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you’re tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It’s a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA’s information. … You can tag individuals … Let’s say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a forum somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what’s called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity.”
For a solitary decade the Western grid operated as one integrated apparatus presenting itself as universal. It was the most consolidated panopticon ever built — and it was only half the planet...
..China’s mass surveillance infrastructure evolved from the Skynet project (launched 2005, expanding to an estimated 600 million cameras) to the Sharp Eyes Project (Xueliang Project), which is a Chinese government surveillance launched a 2015 initiative that aimed to achieve 100% coverage of public spaces, particularly in rural and remote areas. The Social Credit System emerged in 2014 to regulate behavior through data fusion.
Xinjiang serves as the primary testing ground for these technologies, where the Integrated Joint Operations Platform (IJOP) utilizes facial recognition and predictive policing algorithms to monitor and detain Uyghur populations. This regional “laboratory” allowed the state to refine AI-driven behavioral scoring and preemptive control mechanisms before scaling them nationwide.
Edward Snowden said China’s mass surveillance mechanisms and machinery of private communications was “utterly mind-boggling.” He was initially, “so impressed by the system’s sheer achievement and audacity that I almost forgot to be appalled by its totalitarian controls,” a statement he made in his memoirs, Permanent Record.
Having perfected the machine at home, China began selling it. China is the world’s dominant exporter of physical surveillance infrastructure and AI-driven control systems...
..These systems integrate facial recognition, license plate readers, predictive policing algorithms, and centralized command centers. Often funded through subsidized loans from Chinese state lenders such as China Eximbank and the China Development Bank as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, creating long-term dependency on Chinese maintenance and upgrades…
..The Panopticon Eats Itself
The 2013 rupture didn’t kill the grid; it killed the consensus that it served only one master. The post-Snowden question wasn’t “should this exist” but “whose is it now?” Three diverging surveillance models formed inside the Western bloc, concurrent with the split within the Transnational Capitalist Class.
Three factions, one server. To see the war, let’s take a look at the data sitting on a hyperscaler’s machine — Facebook. Three Western factions want three incompatible things from it, and none can have its way without defeating the others.
Silicon Valley owns the data. It is Facebook’s asset, its leverage, its business.
The Imperial state wants to use it. In 2018, Congress passed the CLOUD Act, which asserts a simple, sweeping claim: if a company is American, U.S. authorities can force Facebook to surrender its data wherever on earth the servers physically sit. A Microsoft server in Dublin is, legally, within Washington’s reach. This is the Imperial Nationalist faction annexing the Silicon Valley layer by declaring legal dominion over it.
Davos wants to wall it off — and here the mechanism matters, because it is not a conspiracy theory and no faction recruited an agent. Max Schrems, an Austrian law student, brought a private complaint against Facebook out of genuine conviction; he has spent his career suing European regulators too, for enforcing too little. He was never anyone’s instrument. What turned his grievance into a faction weapon was the institution it landed in. The Court of Justice of the European Union chose — twice — to strike down the transatlantic data agreements not on narrow privacy grounds but on the broadest possible one: that U.S. surveillance law rendered American jurisdiction categorically unsafe for Europeans’ data. Safe Harbor fell in 2015; Privacy Shield in 2020. That is not a privacy holding. It is a sovereignty holding — a border drawn against another faction’s reach, using a private lawsuit as the pretext.
This is what it means to call Brussels a Davos organ rather than an independent power... its instrument is the regulatory machine, and that machine works by converting whatever enters it — a student’s complaint, a merger filing, a market-access request — into binding rules that bind other factions’ systems...
..The CLOUD Act commands American firms: hand us your data, wherever it lives. Schrems and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) command the same firms: then you may not hold Europeans’ data at all. These are not different rules in different rooms — they are contradictory directives issued to the same companies about the same servers, by two factions of the same broken grid. Silicon Valley cannot obey both: it is legally American, and therefore exposed to Washington’s subpoena, but commercially captive to Europe, and therefore bound by Brussels’s wall…
..The Western surveillance apparatus never won, never unified the world under a single control grid; after Snowden’s revelations in 2013 it shattered into three, each faction seizing the layer it could hold. The Eastern faction didn’t collapse; its Chinese half went digital and put itself up for sale, while Moscow was demoted into the junior partner that can disrupt but not deny…..So we don’t live under a panopticon. We live under a quadropticon — four surveillance powers, no longer answering to any single master, each using its piece of the apparatus to wall off, reach into, or escape the others. The war inside the machine is four factions fighting over the infrastructure, with humanity as the ground they fight on.
The four of them never argue about the one thing that matters. Every grid points the same direction. The camera always faces down — state to citizen, platform to user, capital to crowd. Not one of them points up. They fight relentlessly over who holds the controls. They have never once disagreed about who is being watched. That is you. Not the subject of one all-seeing state, but the ground four rival powers are enclosing at once. They all watch you. https://www.themargins.ca/p/the-war-inside-the-panopticon Catherine Austin Fitts: “We don’t have a financial problem – we have a bank robbery.” 55 trillion stolen by Washington DC since 2008, 21 trillion of that funneled into DUMBs [Deep Underground Military Bases, the real real-estate boom] https://x.com/iluminatibot/status/2062821798543266278

Israel Asks For A Guaranteed Share Of U.S. Weapon Purchases
The colonial expansion of Israel is openly subsidized by the U.S. with currently $3.5 billion per year. Most of that money is bound to Israel’s purchase of U.S. made weapons. The stipend is controlled by Congress and must pass the yearly budget review.
The Israeli government is trying to change the stipend into a more lucrative racket.
It has suggested to replace the yearly subsidy by a ‘deeper military cooperation’ which is code for the guaranteed U.S. purchases of Israeli made weapons and continuous profits for Israel’s weapon manufacturers. To institute the new scheme Congress will pass a law that will integrate Israel’s military-industrial complex into U.S. procurement and production lines. Following that there will be no more yearly reviews. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/06/israel-asks-for-a-guaranteed-share-of-u-s-weapon-purchases.html Angry Pentagon Sources Leak Report Of Israel’s ‘Unhinged’ Spying On US Officials
Israeli spying and surveillance is pervasive, and it is often even directed at its most powerful ally and backer, the United States. But the phenomenon has escalated of late, outraging Washington intelligence officials.
Behind the scenes of this alliance which mainstream media and pundits typically project as essentially untouchable, deep-seated friction is boiling over.

The reports include concerns that Israel has stepped up its efforts to eavesdrop on senior American officials, including Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s top negotiator, Elbridge A. Colby, the Pentagon’s top policy official, and one of his main deputies, Michael P. DiMino IV.
Another report, written by the Defense Intelligence Agency and other military intelligence offices and focused on earlier events going back several years, said that the counterintelligence threat level posed by Israel had been increased in recent weeks to the top level, from high to critical. https://merylnass.substack.com/p/the-article-on-israel-spying-on-theDr. Nass: Kim Iversen tells us that the Senate’s draft of the National Defense Authorization Act gives Israel even more than we knew – Under 2 minutes https://merylnass.substack.com/p/kim-iversen-tells-us-that-the-senates
Dr. Nass, Israel briefly pretends to “play nice” after spy story about its treachery against the US came out yesterday.
The spying leak was no doubt intended to put the brakes on anIsrael-led attempt to merge the Israeli and US militaries by Congress https://merylnass.substack.com/p/israel-briefly-pretends-to-play-nice Does it matter if “Ben-Gvir” is real or AI-generated? Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla. During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network. “We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah,” Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians. “We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most,” he stated. https://x.com/TheCradleMedia/status/2064259406489895304

Trump tells Fox he “may keep going” with strikes.
Trump says Iran took too long to negotiate, and now “will have to pay the price”.
Tehran claims prior night attacks in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan as fulfilment of its previously vowed ‘retaliation’ – targeted the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Manama, footage shows.
Iran again signals it could cut off all indirect talks & any negotiations, says it is ‘reviewing’ US talks after latest exchange of missiles. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/after-heavy-missile-exchange-trump-mocks-irans-total-mess-military-tehran-reviews Gold & Geopolitics, Daily digest: 2026-06-10
The big delta: the US and Iran went from a nominally-intact ceasefire to trading direct strikes overnight. Trump claimed Iran downed a US Apache over Hormuz, CENTCOM launched “self-defense” strikes on a dozen-plus Iranian coastal sites including two drinking-water tanks, and the IRGC fired ballistic missiles and drones back at US bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. The other delta is metallic: gold formally entered a bear market, silver knifed below its 200-DMA for the first time in 14 months, and the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index printed a literal zero. Everything else (oil tank-bottoms, the AI deleveraging, the Russia-Ukraine grind, Belfast) is continuation with fresh advances…
..Iran-US: an Apache pretext, then strikes both ways, with a “two or three days” deal running alongside
The trigger: a US AH-64 Apache went down near Hormuz. Trump first told the WSJ it “wasn’t a big deal” (Faytuks), then framed it as an attack requiring a response. [Israeli false-flag action, perhaps?]
The cause is unsettled. CENTCOM said it didn’t know what caused the crash (MenchOsint); a US official told Barak Ravid an Iranian drone hit it but intent is undetermined (BarakRavid); Iran’s deputy FM said it was not deliberately targeted (AJENews).
US strikes hit Sirik, Qeshm, Jask, Bandar Abbas, Minab and more (CKMapss, jacksonhinkle) – including two drinking-water tanks in Sirik per Iranian state media (zerohedge), cutting water to the Bemani district (sahouraxo).
Iran’s reply: ballistic missiles and drones at the Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain and F-35 hangars at Muwaffaq Salti in Jordan, plus claimed MQ-9 Reaper kills
The parallel track: simultaneous “imminent war” and “imminent ceasefire” headlines (zerohedge). Trump floated a deal in “two or three days” with Hormuz reopening “immediately” (unusual_whales); the US believes Iran will settle on a 15-year enrichment suspension…
..Belfast burns after an attempted street beheading – A Sudanese asylum-seeker attempted to behead a man in a Belfast street; the victim, reported to be a disabled man who helped migrants settle, was gravely mutilated (zerohedge, visegrad24). Bystanders who intervened with a shovel likely saved his life. The response escalated through the day: homes, cars and buses set alight, vehicles stopped and checked for migrants, and an organised 7pm loyalist mobilisation with a long list of road closures circulated on WhatsApp https://no1sdailydigest.substack.com/p/daily-digest-2026-06-10 Gold & Geopolitics, Daily digest: 2026-06-09
The 24-hour ceasefire died on contact: Israel hit Iran’s petrochemical sites, Iran answered on Haifa, Yemen joined firing at Tel Aviv, and both Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb slammed shut again – before Trump forced Israel to pause strikes on Iran within a day, while the bombing of Lebanon never stopped. The other big delta is markets: Friday’s AI selloff went fully global overnight, with South Korea’s KOSPI down 8.3% and trading halted.

..The trigger sequence is now explicit: Hezbollah strike on Israel → Israel hits Lebanon → Iran strikes Israel “in defence of Lebanon” → Israel hits Iran → repeat (AmitSegal). Iran’s stated red line: any attack on Lebanon is an attack on Iran (Nostre_damus).
Iran framed the Haifa petrochemical strike as direct retaliation for the Karun/Mahshahr hit, declaring all regional energy assets “legitimate targets” (NahidPoureisa).

Moon of Alabama, War On Iran: – Iran Needs Escalation To Avoid The Ceasefire Trap
A typical U.S. tactic against a strategic target is to ‘boil the frog’ by slowly increasing the temperature of the water it is sitting it. The conflict in Ukraine is an good example for this. Hits against Russia, directed by the CIA, are escalated bit by bit while Russia is reluctant to more severe deterrence measures.
The current war on Iran is another example. The U.S. is insisting on a ceasefire while trying to erode Iran’s leverage with economic strangulation.
Iran’s major weapon, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, will need another month or two to fully unfold its intended effect on the U.S. and global economy. Meanwhile the U.S. is trying to tire Iran with fake diplomacy, economic measures (its blockade) and pinpoint strikes.
But Iran is well aware of this tactic. It has decided to avoid this ceasefire trap by continuous escalation. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/06/war-on-iran-iran-needs-escalation-to-avoid-the-ceasefire-trap.htmlPepe Escobar, Iran: The art of controlling escalation dominance
At the start of last week, two U.S. military vessels attempted a “dark transit” through the Strait of Hormuz: transponders off, evading IRGC Navy monitoring, and ignoring repeated navigational warnings.
Yet Omani signals intelligence flagged the vessels, and after warnings were explicitly disregarded, the IRGC Navy went for a targeted drone strike.
Translation: that was the strict enforcement of the new laws regulating the Iran-controlled navigation corridor at the world’s top sensitive maritime choke point.
The Zionist axis did not fail to frame Iran’s enforcement action as a direct assault on “American supremacy”. Hence, predictably, the White House authorized strikes against Iranian drone installations.
Washington, once again predictably, presented the kinetic response as a proportionate reassertion of deterrence. Tehran for its part interpreted it as a blatant U.S. attack during an active ceasefire. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2026/06/01/iran-art-controlling-escalation-dominance/AI-Bibi could be phased out in September elections: Simplicius, Iran Establishes Escalation Dominance with First-Ever Non-Retaliatory Strike on Israel
Israel’s attacks on Lebanon to destroy Trump’s fragile ceasefire had one major purpose: to ensure that Israel never loses its right to attack any country at will. To allow itself to be held to a norm or ‘standard’ of any kind in refraining from hitting Lebanon would be to set a dangerous precedent for Israel, which has historically operated with no checks on its wanton aggression. Such a precedent would be a sign of massive weakness and failure that would be a crack in the system of colonization Israel has worked so fiercely to impose on the region.
For his part, Trump appears to be finally growing exasperated with Netanyahu’s defiance, admitting to an interviewer that he yelled and cursed Bibi out in a phone call last week, telling him “You’re fu*king crazy!”
The alleged transcript, according to Axios:
“You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”
It seems Trump is more disturbed by the fact that precious Israel is finally receiving its much-due blowback.
Now Trump has allegedly gone even farther, telling Bibi that he may soon be on his own against Iran. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/iran-establishes-escalation-dominanceIRGC missiles hit US F-35 hangars at Al-Azraq base in Jordan https://en.mehrnews.com/news/245213/IRGC-missiles-hit-US-F-35-shelters-at-Al-Azraq-base-in-Jordan
Alastair Crooke, Iran takes its chances with war
Iran effectively is acknowledging the reality that in this new phase — with so many inherent flash points to it — American military escalation at some point likely will become a political necessity for Trump’s domestic and Jewish financers’ needs.
And the negotiations? They will go nowhere so long as Israel and the U.S. Jewish billionaire donors reject any Iran outcome that leaves Iran both intact and stronger and — pari passu in this binary thinking — the ‘Israel First’ project within the U.S. and the region correspondingly weakened.
A deal that doesn’t see Iran irretrievably weakened will be condemned by these latter forces as a ‘treasonous dereliction’ by Trump. He will be attacked mercilessly. Yet, he must see that Iran is anyway on the cusp of throwing off the U.S. shackles.
This phase of the Iranian conflict likely will only end when the West falls off the approaching economic cliff. https://strategic-culture.su/news/2026/06/08/iran-takes-its-chances-with-war/
