    “Spain cannot be an ally of the two greatest dangers to humanity today: Israel and the United States.”

    Interesting. Oh, wait, it’s just one minister. There are cranks all over they tolerate and haven’t shot yet.

    You keep following the British Rape Camps? Really, it’s the People’s fault, and the true victims are the Ministers of Parliament who oversaw it all. They have a slight, almost imperceptible disapproval from the people, while keeping pay, pensions, power, and out of 500 back-to-back prison sentences for “Accessory to Rape.” All women ministers, who are still calling all the victims whores and sluts. So who’s the real victim here?

    “CIA, Trump admin, Israel and Iran. But networks like CNN will have none of it. You be the judge.”

    Wait: who is CNN now? The were CIA. CIA was virtually merged with Israel (and London). So power bloc here?

    They’re the…remaining European oligarchs? Who need a war and the U.S. to destroy itself in Russia, M.E., or both?

    “If everyone can ‘agree’ – at least publicly for the sake of Trump’s narrative – this might mean Iran can simply continue enriching, but truly in secret this time.”

    Yup! Don’t care. Only person attacking anyone is Israel. Only nation ever used one is the U.S. So those are the top two countries to have them removed, all the others are down the list.

    ““The Iranian foreign ministry admitted that their nuclear facilities were ‘badly damaged’ by U.S. strikes over the weekend after reports surfaced about a low-confidence U.S. intelligence assessment suggesting otherwise..”

    That’s so odd: why would they do that? Wouldn’t denying it make more sense? Give Trump a bigger black eye?

    ““..Trump said the war between the U.S. ally and its regional rival “could have gone on for years” and “destroyed the entire Middle East” but that “it didn’t, and never will!”

    So this is part of the deal, the goal, of all the pan middle-eastern countries? This is the goal they most wanted? Probably. This constant boiling allows the Colonial extraction of London.

    “Mark Rutte about raising military expenditure (much of which goes to arms companies) to 5% of GDP “

    He’s thinking that will be U.S. arms purchases to his lobby donors (look at the “wearable monitor” BS RFK is pushing) but Europe probably thinks EuroArms companies will be re-started. That’s later, Cheeto’s not wrong now.

    “When a reporter later brought up the comment, Trump laughed and replied, “Daddy – you’re my daddy,”

    Yes, this is Mafia Don stuff, where you have set an…event where you test whether they are really a sub or not. If they’re not submissing and are faking it, you go after them again. Like any dog. Rutte at least shows the sense to fake right now, which is as good as it gets. …But dispense with the stuff about “flattery” “ego”, nobody cares or has time. I’m not flattered by people who would stab me.

    “• Escape from New York: Democrats Embrace Socialist for New Mayor (Turley)

    Well, there goes 150 Million people. We’ll be cleaning up the bodies for years, after we bail them out and rebuild the smoldering cinder. Too far? Look at California: it’s still smoking.

    “Gold to $10,000” That was 25 years ago. Still never moved. We’re probably barely inflation on it. And the new number would be $30k, which seems equally (un)likely.

    /Rant. But what is this? Is Powell saves the Dollar, puts the architecture back underneath it as appears to be happening, then the drive for it to get there is gone. This does not warm my heart, but there it is. What home office will ship and store gold in their local city if they can just use US$ and T-Bills? No one. They can go up, but as normal assets.

    “On a different note, the topic of the very strange cultural shifts of the late 70s and early 80s has come up before, and I have aa new theory I’d like to share. There’s a medical condition known as Cushing’s Syndrome which has as symptoms most of the chronic physical illnesses that have exploded in frequency over the last half century; and neurological symptoms including insomnia, depression, paranoia, impaired attention, impaired memory, increased mental rigidity, and a disruption to the capacity to plan ahead. This sounds a lot like a description of the cultural changes of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

    Cushing’s Syndrome is caused by excess cortisol, which has a lot of causes. One being low blood sugar, which for complex physiological reasons can be induced by consumption of artificial sweeteners. The timing fits as well: at about the same time society suddenly shifted in a darker direction, the medical establishment was pushing very hard for artificial sweeteners, as a way to keep sugar consumption down, and at least in theory, avoid the health problems that came from excess sugar.

    The theory I have is that artificial sweeteners have induced a kind of low grade Cushing’s Syndrome in a huge fraction of the population, and that this has played a major role in the explosion of chronic illness, and the impaired neurological functioning of a huge percentage of the population resulted in massive societal changes.”

    Trump, CIA, Israel now claiming Irans nuclear sites are destroyed. Might me true. Also sounds like a big walk back away from Israel’s war. Public anger in the US over Trump bombing another country to save Israel when it was losing the war it started, the anger was everywhere. Mearsheimer thinks it’s done real harm to AIPAC’s standing in the US.

    Whatever the reasons for the walk back, I’m glad they’re doing it. 20+ years of ME regime change wars for Israel is enough.

    DrD that’s the canadian medical service in a nutshell. What is not seen in analogies like that is the waste that is .gov bureaucracy behind the scenes. Procedure is to be followed at all cost. Just had my father to his GP for a regular visit. He’s 94 living at home with limited mobility, walker and permanent catheter. He has had the same GP for years and his catheter has been with him for a year now. Walk into his GP’s office and with his file up on the screen the first words out of the doc’s mouth; “how’s your peeing, is there any difficulty with it?”. Really? Now I’ve been with him for all his visits since he’s been with the walker, doc should be aware. So my reply was quick before dad could say anything, “no problem with his water works since the catheter was put in last summer”. JHC! What I’m thinking; You’ve seen him several times in the last year since this has become permanent. The least you could do would be to look at the screen to see where this patient is in their life cycle. Our GP’s are no longer doctors in any meaningful sense, they are interpreters only. You arrive with an issue and if they can’t issue a prescription they send you to a specialist and wait for the report, call you back for a follow up appointment to translate the report for you. Then issue that prescription. All this transpires in a mere 8 to 80 weeks, usually the high end. Procedure is more important than production. When things seem to be slowing or binding up .gov’s answer is always the same, more procedures should fix this. Hire more PMC’s to move the paper,(digital) faster. So stick another layer of do nothings in there with a high pay rate and benefits package that no one in the private sector can even dream of and there fixed. When I was an adolescent in the sixties standing around with my grandfather who was talking with his piers they said then that all the worry about the communists coming was too late, they were already here. We will soon be to the point of shooting our way out.

    Hamas’ attack on Oct 7th and bloody price that Palestinians paid and still paying on one side and Israels capacity for the exposed psychopathic cruelty on the other opened the door for the CONVERSATION that, now, should newer stop.

    For decades I was watching or listening to “debates” on our beloved, heavily controlled media where the conflict was presented as “minor misunderstanding” between neighbors where Palestinians are portrayed as “unreasonable”. At the moment where the pro-Israel “debater” was finally cornered to admit an apartheid nature of a wretched state, magic of “commercial brake” or end of the show would be announced with promise of more.

    The Debt War:

    The war on debt is called “inflation”!

    As long as there is more debt being created, there will be more inflation.
    Inflation by default, is how governments deal with their excess debts.
    Governments are determined to slowly default on their debts, in the hope you won’t notice!

    So, don’t worry about the government’s excess debts, it will correct itself over time.
    All you need to worry about, is “inflation”!

    The government’s end goal, is zero debt!
    Achieving that goal, means government’s fiat money becomes worthless!
    Like debt free Zimbabwe!

    Gold is one way, to preserve some wealth, while passively trying to sit out this inflation war.

    US President Donald Trump has called for an end to the corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, days after Israel and Iran reached a ceasefire.

    Trump showered his Middle Eastern ally with praise in a post on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday

    The recent 12-Day-War, my take.

    June 2025. The US and Iran are negotiating about the ‘nukulear’ matter. The negotiations sre going well.. (There were conflicting reports, however, overall, Iran was amenable to some conditions, etc.)

    Bibi goes into a tailspin, and attacks Iran, 13 June, Operation Rising Lion, pointed at Nuke sites, individuals, and more, in Iran. Aim: blow up the US-Iran negotiations, drag the US in on the side of Israel, escalate. Do or die, all out….

    This succeeds in part. Iran responds with retaliatory strikes right away (same day or close), Operation Rising Promise. Ballistic missiles, at various sites in Israel, incl. residential, as well as threatening US bases in the region.

    TrumpAdmin go into a tailspin and decide to put a swift end to all this. The ostensible ‘bone of contention’ (always an excuse) is the ‘nukulear’ matter.

    The 3 ‘nuke’ enrichment sites in Iran must be bombed. Iran is informed in advance, via the Swiss or possibly the Russians, the sites are evacuated, in any case the enriched uranium has already been removed from the sites.

    The Iranians (possibly advised by the Russians) decide to let this happen, do not defend, let it go, no real damage, we will see later.
    (Trump did the same thing on a research center in Syria.. he was suddenly applauded as a great leader!)

    So, Trump removes (or hopes to remove) the public reason for Israel’s attack on Iran. ‘Nuke’ stations bombed, problem solved, get over it, finis. The urgency leads Trump to abandon the negotiations with Iran (being branded as untrustworthy, not flash news) but that is not the main issue.

    Iran makes a big show of its power to seriously harm Israel, is successful, not only because of Iran’s military power (I can’t describe, not up on that), but because Israel is a sort of ersatz outpost, a tiny strip of territory financed from elsewhere, the Iron Dome doesn’t work, Isr. is extremely vulnerable on many rubrics.

    So Israel had to be saved from itself! (As many US supporters of Isr. have said, see D. McGregor.)

    Trump tried to…. Save Bibi. As he just recently said, the legal attacks on Bibi are unlawful (or whatever words.)

As soon as I made the deal they grabbed the biggest load of bombs you’ve ever seen. I’m not happy with them. I’m really unhappy that Israel, is attacking for one rocket that was a mistake that didn’t land. Israel has been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.”​ https://x.com/Partisangirl/status/1937469688453448162

    (​Diplomatic) Gilbert Doctorow: Transcript of RT interview, 24 June
    There might just have been a logic to Mr. Trump’s actions, a logic which was proven in the last day by the announcement of a ceasefire.
    The logic was that he, Trump, was preempting a nuclear strike by Israel on those very same sites. Let’s face it. Israel has been losing the war with Iran, losing it badly. We don’t know how badly because of strict military censorship in Israel, which means that the presence of the BBC and Reuters and the rest of it means nothing. They’re not allowed to do any real coverage of the war damage.
    ​ They only can show some pitiful destruction of apartments. So the general public has no idea that Israel is on the ropes. Israel’s infrastructure, essential to its economy, has been degraded. Its most important port, Haifa, has been largely destroyed or made inoperable because no merchant ship will go near Haifa for fear of being blown up by the Iranians. So the Israeli economy is badly wounded.​..
    ..I have information which I’ve used to come to the conclusion that Mr. Trump was preventing Israel from doing what it could do on its own to destroy those nuclear sites, which could only be nuclear weapons. America had conventional weapons which would do the job, supposedly. Mr Trump declared victory and he left Mr Netanyahu with nothing to say except to do what we see now, enter into a ceasefire.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/06/25/transcript-of-rt-interview-24-june/

    ​ Why Iran’s Use of Multi-Warhead Missiles Caused Significant Issues for Israeli Air Defences
    Where the Fattah challenged Israeli air defences due to the near impossibility of intercepting it, with strikes launched at speeds of Mach 13-15, missiles with multiple warheads pose a potentially greater threat due to their ability to hit a range of targets with a single strike, while more cost effectively depleting Israel’s already increasingly strained anti-ballistic missile arsenal.​ https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/why-iran-use-multi-warhead-missiles-israeli-defences

    ​ John Helmer, “NO OTHER MILITARY ON EARTH COULD HAVE DONE IT” – HAS TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGED THE DAMAGE IRAN HAS INFLICTED ON ISRAEL WHICH THE US FAILED TO STOP, FAILED TO MAKE ISRAEL GREAT AGAIN​
    ​ The secret is simple: Israel was desperate to have Trump call the ceasefire in order to obtain emergency resupply of US air defence missiles. And Trump was in just as much hurry because the cost which Iran’s war has imposed on the US defence budget is more money than Trump currently has the legal authorization to spend.
    ​ According to this painstaking analysis of the available intelligence, “between the start of the war on June 13 and the announcement of a ceasefire on June 23, a race was under way. The Israelis were racing to destroy Iranian missiles and launchers before the Iranians launched enough missile salvos to deplete the Israeli interceptor magazine. Considering estimates placed Iranian ballistic missile stocks at about 2,000-3,000 before the war started, the Iranians would eventually exhaust Israeli interceptors if they weren’t attrited, making the left-of-launch or missile-defeat element of the Israeli strategy critical. If the Iranians had the missiles and launchers available to continue generating salvos against Israel, there would have come an inflection point in the amount of damage they were able to do, and that inflection point would have arrived once Israel ran out of interceptors.”​…
    ..Trump was compelled to announce his ceasefire on June 23 to save Israel from running out of interceptors as Iran accelerated its strikes, according to the rope-a-dope strategy​…
    ..“According to the FY 2025 Missile Defense Agency budget, each THAAD interceptor costs approximately $12.7 million. The minimum of 39 THAAD interceptors therefore cost over $495 million. The budget projects only 32 THAADs will be procured in FY 2026, so more than an entire year’s worth of interceptors were fired in twelve days (The production rate in FY 2025 was only 12 interceptors.)​ …
    ​..The official Israeli state admission is that almost 90,000 Israelis fled the country through December 31, 2024. The exodus this year, accelerating from June 13, is “Dunkerkian”, Cook says. For Israel and the Jewish diaspora, this war damage inflicted by Iran has reversed the national ideology of the Aliyah – that the Zionist state is the safe refuge for Jews. This is a regime-changing outcome for Israel, not for Iran.​..
    ​..“It is likely that many more interceptors have been used since not all the Iranian strikes were recorded in the videos. But these estimates provide an open-source baseline… Additionally, the U.S. has been aiding Israel in intercepting Iranian strikes. The U.S. Navy has reportedly been contributing and SM-3 interceptor debris has been spotted,”

    “The Trump administration has discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear program, easing sanctions, and freeing up billions of dollars in restricted Iranian funds – all part of an intensifying attempt to bring Tehran back to the negotiating table, four sources familiar with the matter said,” a fresh Thursday CNN report says.
    ​ “Key players from the US and the Middle East have talked with the Iranians behind the scenes even amid the flurry of military strikes in Iran and Israel over the past two weeks, the sources said,” the report continues. “Those discussions have continued this week after a ceasefire deal was struck, the sources said.”
    ​ The report says multiple early-stage proposals are under discussion, but all based on a key non-negotiable: that Iran must halt all uranium enrichment. However, this is one red line that Tehran has been insistent it won’t give in to, as a matter of national sovereignty.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/military/watch-live-pentagon-holds-irrefutable-press-conference-trumps-iran-strikes

    Andrew Korybko ​shines a flashlight under the bed: Trump’s Disbanding Of A Secret “Deep State” Working Group Raises Hopes Of Peace With Russia​ ​ Its inter-agency members sought to sabotage the Russian-US rapprochement.
    ​ According to Reuters, “Ideas ranged from tailored economic deals designed to peel some countries out of Russia’s geopolitical orbit to covert special operations efforts”, the first scenario of which included a proposal to “incentivize” Kazakhstan into cracking down on Russia’s evasion of Western sanctions. That country has been drifting Westward for some time already, which could pose challenges for Russia and China as explained here in summer 2023, but it doesn’t appear that anything came from that scheme.
    ​ The second scenario, however, might have speculatively been connected to Ukraine’s strategic drone strikes against Russia in early June. No one can say for certain whether or not Trump knew about this in advance, but Reuters’ revelation about the existence of this previously unreported “deep state” working group lends credence to those of his supporters who claimed that he didn’t. After all, it’s entirely possible that this was orchestrated by them without his knowledge.​..
    ​..The Secretary of Defense recently announced that aid for Ukraine will be slashed in the next budget while the Secretary of the Treasury warned against new anti-Russian sanctions. Trump then opposed more such sanctions at the G7, blocked efforts to lower the Russian oil price cap, and stood up Zelensky. https://korybko.substack.com/p/trumps-disbanding-of-a-secret-deep

    ​ Free Speech Travesty: German Pensioner Who Called Green Economic Minister Habeck An ‘Idiot’ Has Been Convicted
    The case of German pensioner Stefan Niehoff became a major international story after police raided his home for calling Robert Habeck an “idiot” while Habeck was serving as Germany’s economy minister at the time. Now that Niehoff has been convicted — for sepearte offenses – it has become clear how far the German media has gone to create the perception that Niehoff is a Nazi to smear his name, when the exact opposite was true all along.​..
    ..In Germany, any kind of “unconstitutional symbol” basically means you were sharing swastikas or other symbols associated with the Nazi regime. Most people suddenly thought Niehoff was some kind pro-Nazi activist.
    ​ The reality is that he was comparing the left-liberal traffic light government, which was in power at the time, to the era of National Socialism. In other words, he was criticizing the Nazis, not praising them.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/free-speech-travesty-german-pensioner-who-called-green-economic-minister-habeck-idiot

    ​ Gilbert Doctorow, ‘Judging Freedom’: How Weak Is NATO?
    ​ The reasons why the commitment of all NATO member states yesterday to raise their military budgets to 5% of GDP from the present 2% was political theater as much as the fawning of Secretary General Rutte over Donald Trump was theater.
    ​ However, this theater was not staged for our amusement. It had business to achieve, which was to prepare an exit ramp from NATO for Mr Trump and the USA. Of course, the American president cannot take the country out of NATO in the legal sense, since that would require a two-thirds vote of Congress which he cannot expect to receive. But he can sharply curtail American contributions to the NATO budget and reduce US military forces on the continent now… The overriding message I was making is that we should pay attention not to the words of Trump and his associates, which are largely double-talk intended to confuse the journalists, whom Trump despises. We should follow the direct consequences of his actions.​ https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/06/26/judging-freedom-how-weak-is-nato/
