Since all of the Military (and other) Intelligence Information about Iran’s capability to defend itself and punish its enemies has been proven wrong (rather dramatically, I might add) then ON WHAT BASIS is any of our latest Military Intelligence trusted to be correct in any way whatsoever?
To state the obvious bluntly enough that any school kid could understand the fact intuitively: If Zionica was THAT wrong, going in, then they are even MORE wrong now because their so-called “Military Intelligence” services don’t know jack shit about anything, and should therefore be “trusted” about as much as a mountaineer should trust the rope that just broke and plunged him to his death.
The Iran “Off Ramp” that I envision is military, economic, and geopolitical defeat and a drastic repositioning on the chessboard for the late great Imperial American Western Satanic Cabal. THAT off ramp will getcha off the highway to Hell in a hurry, and all the USA needs to do to use that ramp is nothing. The choice no longer matters because that particular Evil Empire is already on it.
Trying to control brute force by means of sensible laws is a tough trick but we must at least try because otherwise brutes just roam freely without restraints of any kind, doing what brutes do.
It’s even worse when the brutes take control of the laws.
Giving that theory a little more thought, it occurs to me that it raises the paradox of having a pattern without having the material by means of which the pattern is revealed. I don’t have an answer for that one, except that you can’t have one without the other. Rather than paradox maybe it’s a dichotomy with two opposites as its poles. Most dichotomies can be better understood as a scale of stages or steps between the two extremes. In this case I would say that the “scale of rising or descending steps” is between atheistic materiality and worship of the Divine. There are many steps between those two extremes, and everybody gets to choose which way they personally want to go.
Ask your AI:
life: non‑material self‑preserving pattern
That’s a very concise theory. Do you suppose that it is true?
There is a strong case to be made in favor of continuing to point out all of the bad things being that are being done by the world’s criminal government regimes, control centers and Satanic Cabal (sorry for the redundancies).
The best two arguments that I think of right off the top of my head is that, a) some people still haven’t noticed just how horribly badly wrong those psychopaths are behaving, so it’s important that the message keeps being sent until they wake up and feel the hot coffee spilled in their lap and b) The message going out and being accepted by more and more people as being the indisputable truth, is the cure for the condition.
Nevertheless, and having said that, I still have to admit that just hearing more and more every day about how fucked up everything is gets to be a little hard to take day after day after year. I need a bright spot! I need to see some light at the end of the tunnel and not expect it to be just another freight train coming at me with nowhere for me to jump out of its way.
I think I may have seen that light. It’s called truth. Finding something that’s truly true is one the best feelings that there is. It feels so good that the feeling way more than makes up for all of the hard work and pain that you had to pay to get it.
The only way to get rid of the pain of hearing the truth is to just grab hold of that truth and know it as well as you can. It feels great. Cowards need not apply.
When peace negotiators are systematically identified, targeted and killed then the makers of the hit-lists are made more and more visible (as individuals, by name) to other players. In other words, they reveal themselves by their actions and resultantly become, themselves, targets. This inevitably ends in the murderers then being made to be unalive.
Trump and Netanyahu are the current top executive and deputy, but neither of them are chairman or board member of the criminal conspiracy that they front for. THOSE guys are being drawn out of the shadows and identified by the very murders that they order and brother are there a LOT of them with Eastern European Ashkenazi surnames and Khazarian roots.
We’ve all heard the old saying that Empire contains the seeds of its own collapse, but I don’t think that old saying says it quite plainly enough. I would say that the very CORE idea behind Empire rising in the first place is the cause, or “seed” under discussion.
The core problem is not structural. It is IDEOLOGICAL. That mental/cognitive/psychological error is the tragically mistaken idea that one should (or even can) CONTROL others. Ultimately, one can NOT control others at the most fundamental level. People SHALL do what they themselves choose to do under the circumstances they find themselves in at any given moment. And that’s just the way it is.
Empire is always a negotiation, never a command.
And when the negotiation breaks down, the empire dissolves.
The reason that Putin doesn’t want to permanently alienate the rabid dog Western Empire too irreversibly (like nuking them or just taking Europe) or the Strait of Hormuz) is that he knows that he’s going to need both Europe AND the Americans to balance the world’s forces against the fast approaching Asian tsunami. Putin doesn’t want Russia to be a colony of China.
I wonder how many people actually understand that NATO has never been the protective international military alliance of nations meant to act as an undefeatable Umbrella for Europe’s relatively small and vulnerable nations. That was just the sales hype.
The fact is that from the very start NATO was nothing but a clever way for the United States Occupation Forces to conscript and press into service the various nation’s little “militias” into a cohesive fighting force that the United States needed to rule over all of Europe. Why hire your own Imperial American soldiers and arm them properly when you can just use your local colonies to do most of that heavy lifting for you?
Right now, in this very geopolitical moment, would be a good time for Russia to make a VERY attractive offer to Europe. Putin should offer to just let by-gones be by-gones and simply restore NORMAL business relations between Russia and Europe, with all of the so-called “security guarantees” that the United States had been pretending to give them (but which Russia would actually give them. War ends, everybody makes money and the fickle United States/”NATO” clown can just go pleasure itself somewhere else.
One of the best explainers of we are ever likely to hear. I don’t always agree with his opinions and biases (though usually I do), but when it comes to explaining HIGHLY complicated things down into words that thee and me can understand, he has no equal that I’m aware of. Tucker Carlson.
I will retire quietly for the balance of the day
The United States Boomer generation built this world we are now experiencing.
and make no mistake we Boomers have a well worn and favorite pronounThey
I second your proposition.
I see and read SO much research, speculation and opinions (mine included!) about the REASONS our civilization has fallen off a cliff that it is way too easy to be distracted from the fact that it HAS fallen or been pushed off of the cliff and is now FALLING.
Yoo Hoo!
The civilization is in free fall.
Whether it was accidental or on purpose makes far less difference to final outcomes than does the need to DO SOMETHING to reduce the damage that is already unavoidable and could easily get worse if we don’t do the right things to address the issue.
Those are ultra important conversations that we need to engage in immediately. The old civilization IS falling. That fact can no longer be disputed. In fact, putting a lot of work into disputing that fact is a BIG waste of time and resources. Mitigating the damage is now the only thing worth our time, effort and lives to engage in.
Another term for “unbridled” free speech is the term “free speech”. Feel free to use them interchangeably.

According to an AI deep dive the line is not from any known poem before you wrote it, so you are the man. Congratulations.how exquisite a gift is breath.
I think that is poetry of the very highest order. Right up there with the greats.
The only way that Trump avoids prison or execution for High Treason is if he passes away from some other cause first. Very instructive and enlightening to watch the process in progress.
Well this is interesting! Apparently that story had legs after all.

Every single person who contributes their thoughts to this TAE forum brings food to the feast. TAE is like a spiritual and cognitive Pot Luck Supper for the Soul. Dig in and I hope you brought something delicious and fattening.
MAGA, what a fuckin joke.
See? There are some things that you and I agree upon completely.
We would all be very well advised to recognize, acknowledge and accept the sovereignty of the other individual in all of our dealings at every scale.
You might as well just accept the truth of that statement, because it simply is true whether you like it or not. It’s one of God’s laws, ya know, and those are always just impossible to break.
The relationship between Chechnya and Russia is a case study of how it is possible for a colonizing force (The Russian Federation) and an intended-victim like Chechnya defending its sovereignty against that force, can reach a mutually acceptable balance of forces in which both can benefit greatly from what the other force can bring to the table. Both Russia and Chechnya are quite satisfied with the arrangement BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, Chechnya is a sovereign nation, and Putin is a genius.
So the Chechens have formally thrown their hat into the ring.
Well then, I tell you what, the Israelis should be very concerned. Very VERY concerned about a large well trained and battle-hardened MUSLIM army entering Israel with battle on their mind and Russia to back them up.
A good historical example of that Imperial mindset (which is so endemic to America’s policies that it doesn’t even get mentioned in passing) is when Thomas Jefferson told the so-called (by Jefferson) “pirates” of Tripoli (who were harassing American ships by charging “tribute” for unhindered passage through there waters, ports-of-call and maritime markets) that America would pay millions for defense but not one cent in tribute.
Nice rhetoric Thomas, but you were IN THE OTHER GUY’S COUNTRY WHEN YOU SAID IT! If those foreigners to us want to charge tolls and “tribute” as the cost of doing business then your three choices are to NOT do business with them, negotiate a better deal, or SUBJUGATE them by force. Three guesses on which of the three options Jefferson chose. Here’s a hint : “From Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli…”
According to the information present in this video SOMEBODY “owns” J.D. Vance and others who are tacitly categorized as genuinely loyal American “Patriots”. Our beloved Tucker Carlson (and a few others like him) must be lumped into that category. They ascribe to the belief that America exists as a nation that must be protected for the legitimate protection of its citizens, regardless of how foul has been our leadership’s execution of horrible foreign and domestic policy.
That’s fine EXCEPT that further, repeated, execution of that horribly genocidal Imperialist thievery (which is what America’s policy … both foreign and domestic…. has historically always been) should not and SHALL NOT be any part of whatever this country does next.
Sorry, Tucker and other self-identifying patriotic Americans. We don’t need a new label. We need a new nation that is fair, honest and legal and therefore VERY much unlike the “old” America which has been attempting to colonialize the entire world and slaughtered many tens of millions of INNOCENT people in the process.
So, yes, J.D Vance is “owned” and those Empire minded “patriots” (and their Cabalistic backers) are the one’s who own him.
Are they the one’s you want to run this country?
Like the man says, the seriousness of the event is not the event itself. It is the TOTAL BREACH in the Zionist forces internal security. The IRGC says it knows everything that it needs to know to take out any American target that it wants to, and then it lobs enough missiles to PROVE that point.
This technique of pushing out rightful owners and replacing them with UNRIGHTFUL new “owners” is precisely how the Anglo/American invaders pushed the Indians off of their ancestral land and replaced them with European whites. The Pony Soldier “Long Knives” were simply “protecting” the in-pouring white “pioneers” who would soon be legal in the eyes of the Anglo/American Empire (after the Indians were all dead and could no longer plead their own case of ownership of the land they had owned for tens of thousands of years.
It’s very instructive to see and hear exactly how that is done. Here’s how:
Post Script:
And those reasons listed above don’t even consider world public opinion as a metric of which way the wind is blowing …… and that gale force wind is a force of nature that must be taken into sincere consideration. Mankind is considerably more powerful than few psychos trying to weasel their way into the top of the food chain without the real strength to back up their claim.So what the Imperial Zionist Cabal is saying to the rest of the world is that the world is wrong and terrorist because the rest of the world wants to do business in a fair and honest way, according to binding and duly ratified Treaties which clearly define International Law … and the Imperial Zionist Cabal considers that it does not have to play by any rules except the ones it makes up by itself, on the fly, and serving only itself as a rapaciously murderous and genocidal colonializing Empire, answerable to no one.
That’s pretty clearly stated, I think. We’ll see how that goes. I know which way I think it’s going to go, and reality seems to be confirming that scientific wild ass guess quite conclusively with missiles and world commercial systems.
How about men pretending to be fake women “having babies”?
And notice also that it is the government and its servile institutions who are force-feeding that bullshit to us… at gunpoint. Fake & Gay, as the new meme goes.
In reading or conversing about something (anything) the conveyance of information between the two separate parties is made possible by both sender and receiver of symbols to already possess agreement between the two of them on what the symbols mean.
This is especially true in the case of books. To understand what the writers meant one must place themselves in the same position (mentally and cognitively) as the writer was in when they wrote it. This includes style of writing and the conventions and procedures of writing that were current at the time and to which the writer unconsciously (probably) subscribed.
And of all books, the book to which this most applies is the Bible (widest circulation and readership of all books in all of human history). Among the conventions of the time was the one of SIGNALLING THE IMPORTANCE of a fact by describing it in metaphor. In other words, use of metaphor was a convention of Biblical period scribesmanship to signal that the information being conveyed was of significant spiritual importance. Use of metaphor meant that the information was about an IDEA, or a spiritual truth that would otherwise be difficult to describe with mere words.
There were other notably odd conventions at that time as well, such as using unusually and unnecessarily specific numbers, quantities and lengths of time of numbers which seem superfluous or even nonsensical. There is a reason and it is not mean to be outright deceitful or misleading. It was used to reference other scripture, prophesies and laws which were considered to be relevant to the current event being reported upon. Read the book the same way it was written and meant to be understood at the time of its writing and you are a long way to understanding what it actually says.
This is very upsetting to people who are all hung up on the symbols and out of touch with the non-material spiritual and cognitive concepts which those symbols were intended to convey. Advice: when confronted with the choice between letter of the law (or history) versus the non-material spirit or concept of the message, always go with the spiritual non-material take on meaning. And to do that you must read it in the frame of the mind who wrote it down for others to understand.
What a thing produces proves beyond doubt what it is.
There’s a metaphor in the Bible (although many believe it an actual event & I say both versions work for me because I get the point either way.) Basically, Jesus is said to have cursed a fig tree because it bore no figs.
No matter how much something looks like a fig tree, if it doesn’t produce figs then it is not a fig tree and so the benefits that are due to real fig tree are not deserved at all to a fake fig tree. Such a fake should in fact be cursed as a lie.
So, I get the originally intended point of the story whether it was meant or interpreted as God’s word, metaphor or hard science. The point is true in all three cases.
Kind of like the case of our ostensibly “benevolent” government being FAKE because it has little benevolence in it and mostly just robs and murders people.
And therefore, to that extent, deserves only to be cursed.
I think we can now say that the REAL story has now hit the Mainstream Media (amazing!). This video unmistakably implies that Lindsay Graham is a Zionist controlled pedophile who lies. And the video is being pumped out through the Microsoft Network and being shown on mainstream outlets. Hallelujah.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/bloodthirsty-senator-busted-lying-about-trip-to-disney-world/ar-AA1ZL5aM?ocid=socialshareI’m not Professor Know-It-All, by the way. I’m professor Knows Nothing, and the only way I can change that state of ignorance is to tell others what I think I know, to find out whether I’m right, wrong or somewhere in-tween. People are usually pretty willing to tell me one way or the other, and then I just take it from there. When wrong I try to change my mind quickly enough to be right again before anyone notices.
Try not to let another person’s annoying mannerisms (like belching loudly at the dinner table, stirring their coffee cup like a xylophone player, or pronouncing unsolicited wisdom like “Prof. Know It All”) persuade you against the purity of their intentions or validity of their thought. Those are far separate things.
Politically speaking this is the actual flash and bang of a “legal Oreshnik missile” bunker busting Washington, DC.
People (and whole “peoples” as conglomerates) don’t just have the right of self determination, they have no other choice but self-determination. We decide what to believe in and what to do about what we believe. We humans need to get used to that idea because that’s just the way it is.
Criminality itself is a hierarchy. At every level the crook must follow the rules imposed (by any possible means) by a bigger crook. That is the architecture of the governance of vast swaths of our planet’s surface, to greater or lesser degree. And it didn’t magically “pop into existence” all of a sudden any time recently, even by archeological standards. One long fight between those who think they have the right to control others against their will, and those who don’t.
