As the wheels come off the Iran conflict, it compels the decision: ‘Where do we stand?’
Contact us: info@strategic-culture.suWestern propaganda machinery – the West’s most powerful strategic weapon – has repeatedly asserted that U.S. forces have been winning a swift and sweeping victory over Iran. In tandem, Israeli intelligence officials are briefing western media saying they see increasing signs of disarray and “chaos” within the regime in Tehran, adding that the Iranian chain-of-command has become marred by serious breakdowns.
And why not make such claims of sweeping victory? Trump presumably went into the war sublimely confident in America’s military prowess to obliterate the Iranian state structure, its command network and its military capacity. His generals seemingly endorsed the general proposition of destructive potential – adding however, several ‘buts’ that likely did not penetrate the Trumpian mental workings.
And that’s what Trump duly did – sweeping ‘obliteration’; continuous waves of stand-off bombing. To doubters of his success in collapsing Iran’s state structure, he retorts simply that we’ll obliterate all the more. ‘We’ll kill more of their leaders’.
Western (including Israeli) media, in wake of the 28 February strikes, in companion reports hailed too the devastating nature of the blow struck against Iran’s political and military leadership.
No attempt was made to critically think through the effect on a State that had been preparing an asymmetric response to this coming war for 20-40 years. No effort was made to think through the real impact of bombing a State that has taken all its military infrastructure (including its ‘air force’) off its land-surface, only to bury it in deep underground ‘cities’.
No effort was made to judge the impact of assassinations of Iran’s political and military leaders on the public mood. No understanding was made of how the Iranian de-centralised leadership ‘mosaic’ might provide a fast-reaction, pre-planned response to leadership decapitation. Nor was it considered that such a diffused leadership structure would allow Iran to pursue a long war of attrition against the U.S. and Israel – in contrast to the U.S.-Israeli insistence on short wars that do not strain popular resilience.
All mainstream reporting, by contrast, was focused on the scale of damage inflicted on Tehran and its people – carrying the implicit presumption that the civic demolition and high civilian deaths would, in itself, create the opposition that would ‘rise up’ and ‘seize’ the reins of national leadership.
That so little of this conflict was properly considered reflects the fact that the U.S. increasingly has modelled its war-fighting way-of-thinking on those long employed by Israel – with far-reaching consequences for the West’s future, perhaps.
Of course, there are professional U.S. military officers who repeatedly have warned of the short-comings of mass bombardment as a stand-alone strategic tool, arguing that it has never brought the expected results; but their cautionary messages have had little impact against the prevailing ‘obliteration’ zeitgeist.
The very language used by Trump and his team to describe Iranians as ‘evil’ and ‘murderous baby-killing’ sub-humans plainly is designed to polarise the clash to the point of excluding military strategies other than yet further ‘obliteration’.
Trump told New York Times journalists “that he did not feel constrained by any international laws, norms, checks or balances”, and the “only limits on his ability to use American military might” were “my [his] own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me”.
He reportedly expressed surprise that America’s sneak attack on the Iranian leadership had produced an immediate riposte of counter-strikes on American bases in the Gulf: ‘We hadn’t expected that’, Trump said; nor did he anticipate the subsequent selective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, although the Iranians explicitly warned that they would do exactly that. He knew the risk, yet still went ahead, saying he ‘did not think’ that the Iranians would assume control over the Hormuz choke point.

The terms by which the world trades in oil and gas
The consequence of Iranian control of the approximate 20% of global oil and a similar volume of gas that transits Hormuz gives Iran unique leverage over the whole dollar-based economic sphere. Yet it poses a special threat to Gulf States – for Hormuz also serves as the corridor for fertiliser, food supplies and much else too.
Hormuz’s selective closure therefore carries second and third-order global economic consequences for the world. As Lloyd’s Intelligence noted yesterday:
“Several governments — including India, Pakistan, Iraq, Malaysia and China — are in direct talks with Tehran, coordinating vessel transits via an emerging IRGC-run registration and vetting system … Lloyds … understands [that] the IRGC is expected to establish a more formalised vessel approval process in the coming days”.
So, why did Israel escalate so strategically in attacking Iran’s terminals receiving gas from the South Pars gas field that it shares with Qatar? Israel insists that Trump gave them a green light for the attack. Trump replied that “Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars gas field earlier today without informing the United States or Qatar”.
The attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure predictably enough triggered a reciprocal escalation with Iranian missile strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure – thus elevating the conflict to that of serious economic war.
Essentially what now is at issue are the terms on which the world will be able to buy oil and gas. Will purchasers be able to buy energy purchased in currencies other than the dollar? It seems so – Pakistan has been able to negotiate the passage of its cargo through Hormuz in just such a fashion – by proving that the cargo was purchased in Yuan.
At issue therefore is not just the U.S. military presence in the region – which Iran insists must be expelled – but rather, Iranian calls for the ending altogether of the Region’s dollar trading.
This – if Iran gets its way – could comprise the awkward gateway to continued economic survival for Gulf States.
Gulf States may soon have to decide where they stand on this war. On the one hand, they have embedded themselves wholeheartedly in the American mercantilist way of life. But Iran threatens to overturn that paradigm. On the other hand, future Gulf prospects – which they will need to ponder – may hang on Iranian acquiescence to allow them to traverse Hormuz.
If Iran’s ‘foot on the throat’ of the global economic system is pursued selectively – according to their specific criteria — it is possible that other states (including the Europeans) may be forced to the ‘negotiating table’ with Tehran to ensure their future economic well-being.
The U.S.’ unseen power structures
It is not however just the Gulf that will need to consider where they – the Gulf monarchs – stand in the wake of this ill-considered and potentially very damaging economic war. There are those in the U.S. insisting that Americans too need to discuss where they should stand as well.
U.S. commentator Bret Weinstein recently struck a chord with many Americans who, like him, had actively supported Trump, but were now confused and unsettled by Trump’s espousal of a war on Iran – especially as his Presidency hangs in the balance in consequence:
“Why would a man, [like] Trump, who understands politics make such an obvious mistake?”
In discussion with Tucker Carlson, Weinstein suggested that one answer is that Trump is not in fact in control:
“We Americans need to have a conversation with ourselves – not only about how broken the system is and what it results in us doing, but how does it actually work. [Who] is it that is driving us to do what we do”.
The question is deeper than the issue of Trump breaking his campaign promises of ‘no new foreign wars’. (Reuters today reports that “the Trump administration is considering deploying thousands of additional U.S. troops to the Middle East – as Trump weighs next steps regarding Iran which could include an attempt to secure the Strait”).
Weinstein pointed out in his conversation with Tucker Carlson that for some time (since 1961 or 1963), the U.S. system has seemed to be badly broken: It no longer had American interests at heart. In fact, American governance, he argued, visibly had become antithetical to Americans’ real interests – across many spheres, from finance to health. And the state had transformed into an “anti-Constitutional” structure since the events of November 1963 – the exact opposite to what the U.S. was intended to be.
Weinstein attributed this situation to ‘a something’ that is undeclared; something that cannot visibly be observed. It suggested a ‘hidden power structure’ whose control and interests are opaque: “What drives it? Who exactly holds the power in this system. We do not know”, he argued. What were the unseen interests that drove the U.S. to this succession of foreign wars in the Middle East?
This was why the Epstein episode was so crucial, Weinstein emphasised: The few details published have painted a power-structure involving intelligence services, money and corruption that spoke to an unspoken Constitutional and acute Security crisis within the U.S.
Americans urgently needed to be informed what this power structure is – and what its interests are. And to then discuss where Americans stand, and how to recover the elements that could lead to a recovery of a state governed by Americans’ own interests.

Why It’s Not Lying
Con-fab-u-la-tion
Say It Boys & Girls
Confabulation in dementia is the unintentional creation of false, distorted, or fabricated memories without the intent to deceive, often used by the brain to fill gaps in memory.
Common in Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal dementia, patients believe these stories are real, making it a neurological symptom, not lying.
Key Aspects of Confabulation:
Not Lying: Unlike lying, the person believes what they are saying is true.
Causes: Brain damage from dementia (specifically in frontal/temporal lobes) disrupts memory retrieval, leading to, as this Instagram post mentions mentions, the brain filling in the gaps.
Types: It can be provoked (in response to questions) or spontaneous (unsolicited stories).
Examples: Fabricating daily activities, misremembering past events, or creating stories about family, such as accusing caregivers of theft.
Managing Confabulation:
Do Not Argue: Correcting the person can increase confusion, frustration, and anxiety.
Validate Feelings: Focus on the emotion behind the story rather than the factual accuracy.
Redirect: Calmly distract or redirect the conversation to a different, positive topic.
Report Alleges Trump’s Daily Military Briefing Scrubs Out Iran War Setbacks
A fresh NBC report has alleged that President Trump is being presented with a very incomplete picture of how the Iran war is going, with the conflict now approaching its first month, and as Washington struggles to find an offramp amid global oil market disruptions.
The report says that his daily military briefing provided by the Pentagon features a roughly 2-minute long video update for President Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets of the prior 48 hours.
Negative developments frequently get omitted or glossed over.
Day 13 no page number for Epstein. But funniest thing! We only care about Trump and Epstein, AI pics of him and Vlad the Impaler, while the ACTUAL Presidents who ACTUALLY did things, like Clinton, get a pass. The guy releasing the records is guilty, the 4 Presidents hiding it, while reading every line, are all innocent. Every Comey, Mueller, who read all the records, called all the Congressmen listed there, totally fine! Not one AI picture or allegation at all!
…Because it was never about the children. A million children could get raped, they don’t care. It’s about HATE. We have 5 minutes of hebephrenic hate, authorized for Bad Man. Therefore no time for Hate of the hundreds of people who actually covered it up. Not. One. AI photo of them. At a MINIMUM, Bush, Obama, Biden, with at a MINIMUM, Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, Michael Morell, David Petraeus, Michael Morell, John Brennan, Meroe Park, Mike Pompeo, Gina Haspel, David Cohen, Bill Burns, Tom Sylvester, and John Ratcliffe among a hundred others – every FBI agent and DA assigned, every state like AZ/FL they ran through.
Some weren’t there long enough. Some served under the only Administration who actually released these records. But the point’s the same.
Point is: it’s not about Children. It’s not about Crime. It’s not about Reality. It’s about HATE. Who can I HATE?
I hate the person insider billionaires tell me to, of course! Hate Bad Man. Media sez. Stunning and brave. So brave and clever.
Gold down ONE THOUSAND. Silver cut in HALF. This of course means war.
MacGregor, Trading: (yesterday) He’s mad that people make bets both up and down all day long! Did you know half these bets pay off???? Okay, what you’re saying: that merits investigation (since 1990???) so for the Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirst time ever, we need to look into it. Not into entirely outsized bets on American Airlines specifically, morning of 9-10. Nope. Okay, here’s the problem: Hegseth just kicked out all the reporters from the Pentagon who were doing EXACTLY THIS. AI is likely to be scanning every tiniest detail, and making bets. Almost certainly so. If I were one of these guys, I’d bug all their offices, cars, coffee shops if I could.
Nope. MacGregor KNOWS. He’s proven it in a court “It’s an open and shut case” because he just thought it in his mind. Do you want to know WHY the SEC got out of the habit of chasing these? Because they’re very hard to prove, that’s why. He’s proving one by “Just saying”. …So if it’s 20 Democrats and no Trump officials would he still care? No. He specifically says that’s why he’s accusing and speaking on it. Because it’s only Trump, and the 5 Minutes of HATE is on.
I say chase them, prosecute them, fine. And he knows as a guy on the Right I will say that. So we prosecute ONLY J6 and not Antifa. ONLY Trump in NY and not Pelosi. ONLY Flynn and not Swalwell. I’m sick of it.
I’m even more sick of it from “My own side” which guarantees Losing. Always shoot allies. Always ignore enemies. MacGregor: We are hitting everything in Iran at will and that means we’re losing. We should surrender. The Pentagon says they’re weeks ahead of their expectations and goals. That means we’re behind and in a quagmire.
C’mon. Again YOU CAN BE AGAINST THE WAR! That’s Fine! Please do! But not by being an irrational crazy person? Where they just “Make S—t Up” about the U.S., about politics, about the Pentagon, about the war, about everything, so long as it means we must give up and surrender, hand the U.S. over to Eurotrash globalists.
He’s trashing everyone he used to work with in the DoD, saying they’re all violent morons who can’t write war plans. At the same time, at this late date, asks “Why is nothing done in immigration, arrests???” Because Congress? Here we are, a year later, every day has been the same, Thune hasn’t seated a single prosecutor, he asked “Why is no one arresting missing children, insider trading???” Congress. And you know that, MacGregor, you’re just lying. Congress refuses to seat a SINGLE person or authorize a SINGLE dollar for that, which is Donald Trump’s fault.
…Of course if Donald arrested them all and got it done, it would be his fault too. The Dictator. DOING things is bad; NOT DOING things is bad. All things are bad. That’s how you win!
Look I criticize Republicans, MAGA, lack of actions too, but ACCURATELY. I go after Thune and dismal McConnell constantly: but Pelosi and Swalwell and Mamdani too. He ONLY shoots allies. He ONLY misunderstands very specific things. He ONLY makes up that we’re landing at Kharg island, just makes it up because it’s bad. He ONLY degrades the sinking of the Iranian NAVY when those were the mine-layers. Stopping mines from being laid is BAD, not good. It’s Losing, not Winning.
The Navy wasn’t that big a deal, yes, but we can report it ACCURATELY. Iran is getting off great shots: they’re awesome. But they don’t have infinite missiles: we can report it ACCURATELY.
He’s the Opposite of this. Okay, smart guy, what’s your plan? A: To Criticize and say “All things are bad”. Clearly. No matter what military task is set before us, it’s impossible, he says. The whole hour is: We can do nothing and are completely helpless. Give up now. Resistance is Futile. Those are his orders to the U.S. Army: no ship can sail, no helicopter can fly; Surrender.
Our modern John Paul Jones.
“This has no chance of success right now.” — Col MacGregor. Every market on earth disagrees.
Also highlights: Scott Bessant knows nothing about the Bond market. We can’t fund anything. Every nation has repudiated our debt I guess, same as 1983. Inflation is a million percent. Oh! Did not know that, thanks. Donald Trump will definitely be “removed”. Um, sir? We don’t “Just remove”??? There are processes? Nope! Ppl be mad n’ stuff and Donald will just wander off for…reasons…by…nobody…with no time, process, or law involved. There is no problem or notice of any replacement. Bad Man disappears like a mushroom in Super Mario, replaced by nothing. ‘Cause he wants it! Made it up in his mind, now it’s true. Okay man. Good talk.
Kwiatkowski: The entire U.S. military is rebelling and mutinying. Yup, totally see that. We’re totally not running any sorties, every General is stopping, totally. That’s why we’ve run out of targets. Also everyone in the Military is about to be arrested by…somebody… And they’ll be hauled before a court of….someone. Somewhere. Yup. Sooo…Belgium is going to invade, take over the entire U.S. Military, the whole United States, and haul back every serviceman to the Hague. Totes! You better be super-scared! PFC Jones we’re coming for you!
She says every serviceman gets to decide the legality and morality of all the actions of the President and Congress. Yup. They can “prefer not to.” I feel like we shouldn’t have taken hill #496, but hill #494 first. I get to decide! That’s how all militaries work, and that’s great! She says. As an officer and Colonel. That’s legal, but OBEYING orders is illegal. That’s how you win! Young people “Aren’t going to” follow orders, salute n’ stuff. Nope! That’s just how it is now. Warn’t no rebellious folks in boot camp in 1943 that got into line, nope!
Thank God we added women to the officer corps, with fine military discipline and strategy like this.
Many of you were military: what do you think? Totally legit point of view?
About the ship, the plumbing and the fires: she knows absolutely, literally nothing. You could read blogs like I do and know more. Also knows nothing about the military, saying “kids today” “This generation”, we’re helpless! If “Kids today” “misbehave” we just have to let them! Says Mommy. So totally informed, riveting use of your time.
Judge and Colonel discuss “words” and “Signaling” at length. It’s all about appearance, presentation…that’s how you win wars n‘ stuff! With signaling. You have to start 5 wars and blow up kids n’ stuff, but with NICE words, like Obama. Then it’s the GOOD killing, sinking n’ stuff. Using the wrong adjectives means we’ve lost Iran.
P.S. Everyone in the U.S. Military and officer corps suck! She should know because she’s one of them and helped!
We’ve also lost because everyone in the Military is unaware the other side can shoot back! Yup. First time they ever heard! Boy, glad she cleared that up for us. Also all our Intel sucks. We don’t have any. Yup. No satellites, no radio communications at all. She can be sure because she knows nothing about what we’re doing there, nothing about the Marines arriving (or not), nothing about what the President is hearing, nothing about what the strategy is.
Please click and hang of every word of her “I have completely no inside information, but also no outside information either, and honestly have no idea whatsoever what’s going on.” (Surrender now.) Thanks, Judge, thanks Fox. Well, at least it’s not AI. When she just makes everything up, at least she admits it.
So. I guess that’s why I clocked out of listening to these guys. I used to keep tabs and I’m checking in again today to make sure but …that’s why. Dumber than a bag of hammers.

“Report Alleges Trump’s Daily Military Briefing Scrubs Out Iran War Setbacks” NBC
I don’t know boys, everything they’ve reported on Trump has been dead-accurate these last 10 years, and this is NBC, the home of “Beautiful bombs” Brian Williams, Live from the Moon. They’re probably on to something here. We all know the Pentagon doesn’t make any plans.
“The “Samson Option” is to bring-the-temple-down upon EVERYONE. US official says Israel may use NUCLEAR WEAPONS against Iran”
This is why Rubio said we were blackmailed, but ackshully, everyone would be sooper happy if he hadn’t acted and let them. Iran would be radioactive, but we could BLAME. And the BLAME is all that matters. That ground is not radioactive, Israel was NOT counter-striked, and WWIII did NOT start everyone is mad about.

“Craig Murray cautions not to fall for the dunce act. this has been planned for a long time.”
But also not planned at all. There were no plans. Trump just did it, he and the Pentagon had no idea what would happen or what they would do after.
“When President trump TACOed out from his threat to bomb Iran’s infrastructure he asserted that there had been “good and productive conversations”
Moon of Alabama demands more bombing. Any reduction or cessation of bombing means we lost. Therefore can only increase! Thanks, Moon. Iran is most grateful I’m sure. If only you had done this during Iraq we could still have 500k soldiers there too.
Again, EVERY nation has back channels. I read daily that for the first time in the history of the universe, NOT ONE IRANIAN, anywhere, of any caliber, is talking, much less negotiating, and everyone JUST BELIEVES IT, because Iran – the planet’s most trusted nation – said so. Jesus Christ, men. Seriously? This is AFTER, and I’m sure you all leap to agree, we, the United States, were negotiating with N. Vietnam and denying it, for like years before we left in 1975. Highlighting “And denying it” part. ‘Cause, like, nations never lie and stuff.
Nope! Not if it interferes with my HATE!
Listen, is the person Trump is talking to Authorized? He most certainly COULD be, but I expect not. Is he a High General, an MP? Probably. Will he be assassinated if anyone suspects? In that condition, almost certainly. Does this technically make him a traitor to Iran, or more specifically the IRGC? I would say so, but every Founding Father was a Traitor to King George so words break down here, it’s about if he’s serving the Iranian people. That is, “Intent” which is impossible to prove.
But the very notion that NO ONE, of 90Million people, has EVER called, is laughable on its face.
And the idea that EVERYONE here, just believes it, is so jaw dropping it makes me want to stop bothering altogether, not even knowing what low level of crayons I would have to begin with, to start explaining what’s going on and how “Reality works” on “Earth”.
Honestly: All commenters here REALLY, honestly, no cynicism believe, there’s not a single phone call ever been made?
Davis “War timelines keep changing”.
Davis, and Ritter, and MacGregor, and…have never been soldiers, never saw a military, never heard of “War”. They are unaware that you can’t plan a war a year ahead (but ALSO there were no plans) and those war plans never change – are never ALLOWED to change – ever, once the war has started. Yup. That is their deep earnest opinion from this approach. Wow. Did not know that. But that’s exactly what Sun Tzu said! “Never, never change your plans once the
battleentire war begins.”Meanwhile the Pentagon official says they’re weeks ahead of schedule, it’s easier than they thought, and are running out of targets. That doesn’t make it TRUE, but Two people say two things, so we only believe the one we LIKE, that lets us HATE. Right? Whichever one Black Pills, hates, and causes surrender is the side of the angels.
‘Cause no one is discussing events on the ground. Iran has been completely unharmed, I hear, not a shot.
“Larry Johnson” The U.S. military is incapable of any actions at all, that’s why we spend a Trillion dollars on them: to not work or be good for anything. Iran is landing in Alexandria Va and surrounding the White House as we speak. Resistance is futile. Surrender to Zod. So if the CIA is against the war, I should be for it, right, Larry?

Look: you can not LIKE the war. Please don’t! But for the love of Jumping Jesus can you not LIE about it for 60 whole seconds??? OF COURSE they “critically thought it through” every lovin’ year SINCE 1979. There’s no war plan IN the Pentagon more worked-on than this one. NOPE! Not what “Strategic Culture” says and I always trust Globalists when given a chance!
So they LITERALLY say, first sentence “We have no idea whatsoever and no facts” then go on to declare the most jaw-dropped stupidity in the history of the Internet, and I’m supposed to take them seriously n’ stuff.
This has nothing to do with the war. It has to do with like everyone believing Voltaire’s Absurdities. Where has everyone’s brains gone? They TELL YOU in the first sentence they don’t know a livin’ thing.

Donald Trump and the Downfall of the American Empire?, by Ron Unz – The Unz Review
https://www.unz.com/runz/donald-trump-and-the-downfall-of-the-american-empire/“Bill Maher: “I mean, this looks like game over [for Democrats]”
Probably not. Today’s elections are in and all GOP (Trump) candidates lost in safe districts. So polls were BOTH ways, but elections seem to have demonstrated which was true. Also: seems unlikely to be election interference, although of course they’ve done f—k all about that. And what is the cause? Men checked out. Women remain insane and are voting for patent nonsense like “Trump is in the Epstein files” Men (and young) are like “WTF is this s—t” and didn’t show. THAT is what Fox, the Judge, Ritter, etc are all after. Now they can arrest Catholics and chop up your kids! Yay! When EVERY former “Right” is bat s—t, but ALSO jibbering irrelevant nonsense about, I dunno, Erika Kirk, then yes, Men check out. That’s also the Economy + war. OF COURSE. Stats on the war were tepid, but critical, “Tepid” means “Too tepid to vote” so you’re screwed.
There is much time remaining, but as a windsock this is about as bad as anyone could make it. There you go. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as Republicans do.
“Trump Sends 2,000 Paratroopers, Iran Dares Them To Come Closer (RT)
Yes, we’ve already landed in Kharg, because we’d have to cross the Straits and the ship is in…Indonesia or something? Diego Garcia? Look, you’re all making things up. Start talking when you KNOW something.
Where is the 82nd Airborne going? Denny’s? I dunno. There’s no use for them at the present.
““We’re actually talking to the right people, and they want to make a deal so badly, you have no idea how badly they want to make a deal.” There is, however, a catch. Iran is still denying talking to the United States.”
Again, IRGC vs Iranian civilian (not insane) government. Can’t prove it, but keep it handy.
Someone pointed out that Dubai, etc are now crown jewels, out of the desert in a few years. Why isn’t Iran like that but wants to stay a backward Muslim Caliphate like the last 100 years? Why? Bc that’s what London’s “Muslim Brotherhood” was built for and why it exists. The Ayatollah/IRGC is an outgrowth of that. If they have modernity, they use their own oil and get powerful and London can’t steal their oil like good colonialists instead. No? Then why are all billions$$$ of his and his son’s BILLION dollars in London? London banks, London real estate and un-sanctioned?

You see, this is why Iran hasn’t set off a single sub, mined a single water, or sunk a single ship. They’re luring us in. They’re going to start firing back with the good stuff in 2039 when we least expect it. This is why Russia doesn’t seem to be helping and both Russian and Chinese air defense didn’t work, while why run roughshod dropping B-52s an lumbering A-10s all over the nation at will: All part of the Plan!
Literally what they’re saying. Stop. Both sides are getting in good shots. Could you not LIE about it for 60 seconds? Russia is helping, that’s why their air defense didn’t work at all. Not at all.
“Is there anyone who thinks this is normal? • Jack Smith Subpoenaed Records on Kash Patel (ET)
Well Smith wasn’t actually an authorized attorney, so no. Ordinary citizen impersonating federal officials, running subpoenas on FBI directors: what can you say? Thankfully I have subpoena’d Comey’s records and expect them to arrive under the bridge here shortly.“• Docs Show Expansive FBI Surveillance Of Trump Allies, Possible Illegality (JTN)
Don’t have to say “Possible”; we already know they lied to the FISA court every time they showed up there. Justice Roberts likes and approves of this, so when he found out gave them all a raise and a gift card to Dunkin Donuts.
“Nvidia CEO: “I Think We’ve Achieved AGI” (ZH)
So diverting from being arrested for stock-kiting a trillion bucks into existence, we can now arrest him for fraudulent public statements of stock relevance that is illegal under SEC rules. Well, settled that! His “AGI Person” matching human intelligence means that equivalent person costs $100M an hour base pay, plus 1M gallons of water. A bargain at twice the price! What are cat videos worth anyway?
Or Trump AI with Pontius Pilate and Nero? Priceless I say! Because when you post an AI pic, it makes it true!
Viz Greek Independence: ‘Ottoman’ was Christian Bc “Constantine” + and Islam was only born in 600AD, and not taking Constantinople until 1453.
“starting in 1989, a kind of dark spiritual revolution happened in which the love of money, possessions, status, and ego pushed meaning, purpose, and direction aside with a speed and completeness that brainwashed people into thinking it was all normal by the time it was done. When acquisitive materialism and ego take over a society to that degree, the values of community and basic human decency, all the true human virtues, really, become degraded and even actively denigrated by people who think they’re “cool” when they are really just cold.” — Mr. Nobody.
Who we haven’t seen a while.
Trolling til your pants split….
Hahaha
Too funny
We will see where the rubber meets the road….
IRGC:
Any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of Israel and America from its soil will, starting tomorrow, have full authority and freedom to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

They’re selling like Hotcakes!
“Many of you were military: what do you think? Totally legit point of view?”
i think the whole affair is totally embarrassing.
do you remember the great raccoon war of 1917? or the 1898-1927 war of the iguanas?
no, because those animals aren’t as stupid as us.
humans, please, grow up.
The sheer gob-smacking audaciously arrogant idiocy of that utter moron Micki was just such a perfect example of gob-smacking audaciously arrogant idiocy that I just have to use it as illustrative example of the very pinnacle of idiotic arrogance.
For the sake of easy reference I’m quoting it here:
Every country Islam has invaded has been taken over that you can no longer recognize what it once was only the destruction and oppression remains from these savages. pic.twitter.com/6qJF5QKhWQ

Micki wants you to believe that Muslims are the “savages” in this fight because the Muslims (in this example) always fight back when Micki’s team violently attacks them without provocation and tries to violently oppress the current population into submission, to be ruled over from now on by the unprovoked invading colonizer intent upon taking their property ownership and sovereignty away from them and turn them into a wholly owned colony. Owned by guess who.
Talk about irony. It just doesn’t get too much more ironic than that!
The reason that colonizers leave nothing recognizable behind them except the destruction and rubble of their violent attacks against the local people is that stealing things and destructively wrecking the place is the only thing they know how to do.
Someone pointed out that Dubai, etc are now crown jewels, out of the desert in a few years. Why isn’t Iran like that but wants to stay a backward Muslim Caliphate like the last 100 years? Why? Bc that’s what London’s “Muslim Brotherhood” was built for and why it exists. The Ayatollah/IRGC is an outgrowth of that. If they have modernity, they use their own oil and get powerful and London can’t steal their oil like good colonialists instead. No? Then why are all billions$$$ of his and his son’s BILLION dollars in London? London banks, London real estate and un-sanctioned?
• uh, that’s duborrow, not dubuy.
•• so, the solution is to replace city of london with ¿¡donald trump!?
••• the u.s. has oodles and oodles of oil – when will the u.s. get modernity?
•••• do you have kids?
Good morning MAGA,
Both Trump-endorsed candidate’s in Florida state’s special election lost last night to Democrats.
Two state seats flipped Democrat.
One race was in a Palm Beach district that Donald Trump won by 11 points in 2024 :
Where Mar-a-Lago is located.
E-le-ven Points
MAGA has a shot to the temple.
My daughter Jessica Pongklad evaluated Trump’s intellectual prowess thusly:
I don’t know where he got his intellect but it’s missing some bricks.”
Here’s two guys whose intellects are just fine.https://youtu.be/LSh_GK12Au4?si=Hb3yuBI6T3ms62C_
MAGA has a shot to the temple.
Yes they do and the body will drop like a sack of potatoes. The big question now is where will all those people and their pocket books go? What new label will arise to replace the label that just went down?

“Me and the Ayatollah!” – Trump proposes ‘joint control’ of Strait of Hormuz as he stunningly reveals he has no idea who’s in charge of Iran
President Donald Trump floated joint control of the Strait of Hormuz and suggested he didn’t know who was currently leading Iran when responding to a reporter on Monday morning.
Trump spoke to journalists on the tarmac of Palm Beach International Airport as he departed Florida after spending the weekend at Mar-a-Lago and was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins who was in control of the Strait of Hormuz.
