On: Arms dealer Christopher Harborne paid BorisJohnson a million UK pounds to convince Zelensky not to sign the Istanbul peace deal in March 2022. (at top post.)
It was always difficult to understand why Bojo did this — reasons invoked were various. Endless inherent GB hate of Russia, Bojo being influenced by the US, stupid hopes and tropes of winning against Russia, or just part of Int’l geopolitics in some grand scheme…
Now, good to see some ‘clarity’ exposed.
Bojo also had a first reaction to COVID (“let it rip”) before going all VAX supporter, just like Trump who switched from an attitude (don’t remember the exact words) – just a Flu, or Nu Flu, China Flu – to being the owner of miracle cures, vaxxx, “warp speed” and all that.
These ‘leaders’ (elected! by what means is another topic) are just stooges put in place as figureheads who obey other masters. Mostly, Bit Corps, but not only.
Happy Birthday Ilargi 🙂
In the last thread the narrative surrounding Virginia Giuffre (- Roberts) appears. I like detective stories, I’m a fan of real-life locked door death mysteries. Both Epstein and Giuffre (VG) died in locked rooms. Allegedly.
When VG died, I wondered if she had been killed, and looked into it. I am not posting this to bash or discredit VG, I consider her a 2x victim, first of Epstein crowd, and second of predatory ppl pushing some other agendas. Dead at 41…with 3 children…
I am convinced she committed suicide. She locked herself in in her room and overdosed (on what Idk, but she was taking several types of meds.) Her death was ruled suicide, though some family members have said the ingestion might have been accidental. (Other, US reports, have her shooting herself, but imho that is rubbish.)
She was estranged from her husband and children and living apart from them, with a full-time carer in her home (a woman of 70) because of some ‘injuries’ and ‘chronic pain.’ (From what Idk.)
Her husband had primary custody of the children (when this went down the eldest of 3 was 18 and the youngest 14) plus, she was under a restraining order (dated Feb 2025) requested by her husband, for domestic or ‘family’ violence.
She was forbidden from contacting her children in any way. She was facing a charge (case coming up at some point after her death) for violating that order. Her last public messages include ‘wanting to see her babies again’…
She was also being sued by another Epstein victim, Rina Oh, for defamation, in 2021, case was ongoing. (Concerns VG lurid tales of SM lesbian sex, which Oh refuted.) Oh links.
https://www.vickywardinvestigates.com/p/legal-pressure-was-mounting-on-virginia
VG also accused her husband for physically abusing her for years, in April 2025, not a good look for a ‘bravest’ woman ‘denoucer’ …
Re. the road accident, it was with a school bus, the bus driver promised to file a police report and did, no injuries of any kind were logged. VG was not the driver, that was her care-taker.
(most info from Aus. local press.)
Past. VG ‘won’ in the sense that cases were settled out of court for huge sums, against Epstein, Andrew, and Maxwell. Against Dershowitz, she lost, and had to admit she ‘might have been mistaken.’ (see wiki.)
Here one ex. of settlement. > Epstein, court docs.

The time to kill her was ….long past
On: The collapse of American Education, by PCR at top post.
This has been going on for a long time, a slow process, but ppl are waking up to it now. Note, the US does very badly in Intl’ stats (when it allows them to be published) because it is a country with long standing *high* immigration, and literacy and math tests in Eng. are depressed for such populations. Other countries have similar profiles, I’m not adressing that here, other issue.
The recent alarm is the result of poor investment in primary education (buildings, salaries, proper programs, books, transport, etc.), low school attendance in many places, aka high absenteeism, partly the result of the just mentioned, but also due to a disdain for the State system which perhaps in times past promised social advancement + interesting careers (e.g. science, ship building, telecoms, arts..) which can’t be accessed now by poorer ppl as those spots are reserved for the ‘Rich’ or ‘Immigrants’ (high and low, the middle squeeed out) via a brutal Social Stratification system. (The rich children go to private schools, etc.)
So what is the point of being a primary school teacher in the US? Horrific, a job to quit pronto.
What is the point of going to school for a boy of 12, to be given moronic pre-printed quizzes asking him to tick boxes if the ‘clue’ word ended with B? Being given ‘marks’ or passes on such tests? Alarming absurdity.
Better go help Uncle. Pablo. Mom. Friend Oxa. With Whatever. Or just …
Some see this as deliberate move to techno-feudalism.
Dr. John Day, thx for your response. Yes, I agree about the spiritual.
On the lower more mundane end, for ex. here in CH, amongst those aged 22 – 35 .. a part, a ‘group’ of them are ‘green’ (here called “Ecolo”) who don’t want to / plan to / have children, because, over-population, using up resources, damaging the environment, and so on. As a stereotype, they ride bikes, electric or not, electric scooters, use public transport (v. good in Switz.) and take lots of plane rides for work / various travel / holidays.
They get on fine for the most part with their ‘richer’ ‘more succesful’ contemporaries, who have ‘great careers’ and 2 or often 3 children, maybe exceptionally 4, and who can afford to have a ‘lodging’ (house w. garden or big appartment) that is ‘great’. They happily become god-father / mother and devote a lot of time to the kiddos. A type of ‘community spirit’ …
Ilargi, I hope you are doing OK. Related to top post topic.
On declining birth rates in the ‘West.’
All kinds of explanations have been put forward, leading ppl to scratch their heads and say ‘multi factorial’ and so on.
Socio-economic. Expense of having children, giving them a ‘good life’ – being able to live in housing w. a room for children, pay education, etc. —> Note that fin. support, such as free day-care for parents, child allowance, etc. has an effect but it is never huge.
That women brought into the work place, made two salaries needed even for one child.. That women put off having children till they are ‘established’ (have and earn money / have a position / have a steady hubby who can afford / etc.) so are older and then have only 1 / max 2 children. Note, having more than 3 children in the ‘W’ is a sign of poverty (mostly recent immigrants) or richness. How many children do Trump, Musk, Mick Jagger have?
Bio/med factors. Obviously the availability of contraception (incl. vasectomy) and abortion play a role. Again, probably not as much as one imagines. However, *the drastic lowering of sperm count in men* (‘West’) I’m sure is vital (sic), look at all the infertility treatments, the desperate to have babies parents…Pollution or what? Idk. Dr. Day .. ?
Then there is the whole ‘individualistic’, sometimes called ‘woke’, ‘self affirmation’ ideology, a side branch of neo-liberalism (economic liberalism) that trumpets self-realisation (“You be You”, your dreams can come true, you can conquer… ) which moves people away from family and community values and ties (plus also local politics, which is deliberate imho) to play both victim and/or Boss, depending on the situation, which is not condusive to happy couple relationships who’d be charmed to have a little kiddo who would be “half me half you.”
I have left some factors out.
From Switz. RT (and many others) never banned.
Not internet savvy, so maybe no use…
Ilargi, hope you are doing well, getting better.
GDP is one measure of the ‘Economy’ and not a particularly good one.
Made up crude ex.:
If in a small ‘State’, Area, 59 Tesla cars crash / explode, 7 ppl die bang off, and 40 ppl in dire conditions are hospitalised, 8 die after all kinds of measures, all the cars have to be ‘recycled’, ‘processed’ dealt with somehow..
The car-loss leads to (say 60) new buys of other cars, the handicapped need new homes, equipment, funeral homes up their takings, the recyle plants earn more, etc.
All of which leads to higher GDP figures (tally of goods and service exchanges) ….to what end?
Dr Day, thank you for the selection of news, and thanks to Michael Reid as well for the vids.
I hope Ilargi is doing OK, Ilargi we would all be happy to have some news.
Pascal Lottaz interviews J. Ramos. 10 Nov. 2025.
The Crusades Never Ended.
Zionism’s Medieval Christian Roots EXPOSED | Prof. Manuel J. Ramos
snippet: The age of European colonialism never really ended, it just changed its costume. Today’s geopolitics look and feel so barbarian, medieval because they are the ghosts of the Crusades and a forgotten medieval legend.
One pov.
Ilargi, I am super relieved to hear you are doing well, take care of yourself, thx for keeping the site open, me and hundreds of others are on your side…
Raul, from the internet. Just the top 3.
https://fr.linkedin.com/in/raúl-ilargi-meijer-892a1829
Ilargi I read your posts regularly but have not been contributing I hope you find some way to keep the site going all the best and hello to the contributors…
from John Day in the previous thread.
Do any of you see how this is supposed to “work”?
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/san-francisco-restricts-rv-parking-effort-combat-homelessness
San Francisco has approved a new two-hour parking limit on all oversized vehicles in an attempt to prevent homeless people from living in RVs and to reclaim public spaces across the city.
—————-
Living in an RV is seen luxury in many places, your average Algerian can’t afford to buy a RV, nor can I, my neighbors in a v. ‘rich’ country (CH), even via ‘lease’ or w.‘debt’ etc.
USA. Any ‘reasonable’ municipal authority would have long ago arranged some ‘areas’ / even ‘services’ for ppl living in cars/RVs/ etc. to be able to ‘camp’ more or less ‘happily.’ One + pt is that the ppl in vehicles can be moved around, avoiding the ‘rough camp’ image, the ‘thrash place’ horror, etc.
The cost would be minimal, moreover one would be ‘helping’, accomodating, ppl who are employees, are working, are students, are children who need school in one place or another, etc. It would be so easy and cheap to do and have positive impact on much……But NO!
The US is collapsing from within, with vicious competition, a murderous class war, easy allowed sadism, discrimination, and perpetual arming and empowering ‘State’ (servants of the rich) policing orgs, to crack down on the poor, the bothersome (no RVs in my street etc…)
Like, ICE is a rogue paramilitary org. imho.
Won’t end well.

*German Police Raid AfD MEP’s Property For The 22nd Time*
Much talk about banning the AFD in Germany, but it isn’t done yet.
In France, Marine Le Pen has been banned from standing for elections, heh.
—> As in a new election facing Macron she might win, although she was always a ‘going-along opposition figure’ and never wanted to be Prez. of France, and did all to avoid winning in the last election.
As for the AFD in Germany, the ‘leader’ is a ‘blondined’ woman, Alice Weidel, who is married to another woman from Sri Lanka, they have 2 children (by surrogate or ? Idk) and they live in Switzerland, not in Germany. Super Theatrics!
poor wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Weidel
As everyone will understand I am not against gay marriage or whatever in that line.
On Trump sending a birthday card to Epstein:
A society of more than 300 million ppl that takes seriously the sending of cards with short personal messages, with outlines of naked women (or not, or whatever) is for sure in terminal decline.
One might imagine (specially in the US) some silly gossip column making fun of some card, showing a pic of it, heh heh so shocking etc. Cute figure! Ooh fun wink wink! Those guys are …. etc. Even that would be super lame in gossip column lore, probably killed by the editor as not thrilling enough.
Meahwhile, back at the ranch…
On, from Hero to Zero, by Ian Proud, at top post. Quote:
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, Zelensky has been elevated to the status of a hero King, pure in thought and deed, interested only in saving humble Ukraine from the onrushing hordes of Russian Orcs. (…)
Yet, in an instant, that illusion has been shattered.
For the first time since February 2022, Zelensky has been revealed as, in practical terms, no different from other Ukrainian Presidents (…) corrupt and authoritarian.
Etc.
Idk this Ian Proud Fellow, I guess he is just a hack for the MSM / PTB.
Zel was touted as a Valiant Hero by the W (USuk-EU in first place) though he was a dodgy fit.
Not much presence, no thought-out policies, no proper rhetoric, (a comic actor, ok), small, badly dressed (war costume not fooling anybody), at least he spoke a rough English… All that tells us a lot about who is willing to be a sacrificial stooge for the ‘W’ and who they can co-opt. >> The field is getting thin…!
Zel is an expendable figure like others, and the time to get rid of him is approaching, therefore articles like that above by Proud, using the laws against corruption as validation. Imagining that any anti-corruption ‘law’ or ‘stricture’ or even ‘habit’ should / could be applied in UKR is so laughable Idk what to say. Proud is just spouting some ‘noble sounding’ anticipatory reasons for junking Zel.
More innaresting is who gets to occupy that chair next.
Red posted:
‘Spuddle’ is an archaic word from the 17th century that means to work ineffectively; to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing; to assign trivial things undue importance.
Blunderer came to my mind. (Is the title of a Patricia Highsmith novel, the main protagonist, who blunders about, is killed in the end.) Seems to fit Trump quite well. 🙂
*Bootless* is another old term, *Otiose* as well. (I have worked as a translator.)
In the USA the same contrived narrative ploy is used over and over again.
Propaganda, often very targetted, vicious, alarming, mostly extravagant fakery is bruited. After some years pass, to round eyes cough cough admitting OOPSies that wasn’t quite right, well mistakes are made, etc. etc. Who cares, really? The news cycle churns on…
Today, Tulsi: Russia-Gate was a hoax, a total fake created by Killary taken up by Obiman. Anyone paying attention knew it was nonsense. But US TV watchers embraced it…
Other ex. Saddam Hussein had WMD and was a threat to the USA. Err now maybe ‘not so much’ or whatever.
COV19 vax were safe and effective.
USA. Senate Hearing on COVID-19 Vaccines. May 2025.
Haven’t listened to all of this, but at first glance it seems damning, where is the MSM? What changes will be made in function of ‘new’ information? Of course this concerns ppl living in the USA, so it can be put in the back burner.
I predicted Trump would not finish his second term, iirc here, a gut feeling, nothing to back it up. Death, illness, quitting, destitution, whatever..? The movement is accelerating.
On the EPSTEIN (JE) matter, Col. L Wilkerson. I opened this youtube interview as I like that Col. It isn’t terribly interesting on the EPSTEIN scandal, better on related matters – he opens up about some history: Iraq War, C. Powell, the election of Clinton, and more, plus the general drift of US history. Well worth a listen.
Back to JE. First off, there is no way Trump would have proposed / promised to release the ‘JE files / client list’ if he himself was implicated in any way about ‘sex w. minors.’ DT is not *that* stupid.
DT knew Epstein, JE mingled with everyone, etc., the photos of chums at parties don’t mean much.
It looks like DT had no clue about what is in the files, went along with Dems ‘are pedos’ scandals (Pizzagate, JE client list..). Had no info about the relevance, role of Epstein (what that precisely was Idk either), what really went on.
Which shows that he is a figurehead just like Biden was, signing not with an autopen but a sorta semi Gothic fancy spikey script.
Clearly, he was recently ordered *!* -> STOP ! the JE revelations, or YOU are history.
He obeys that order, spouting lame, ridiculous, declarations, trying to bury the whole matter, get rid of it ‘real fast.’
All this distracts from US actions re. Palestine, Syria …
John Day, thx for the response, what you wrote is pretty much in the same line, maybe from some different angles. Imho ‘Empires’ better called in our modern days international control of some regions / countries / etc. will always be diminished, reduced, ‘foreign influence’ kicked out, etc. in similar ways.
Plus ca change, plus c’est la même chose…
Biden as Prez was a red-light signal of the US Empire in Decline. A geriatric dodderer with no decisionary powers run by a committee, controlled by one half of the Uniparty.
— The two parties, Dem – Rep, are in economic competition and united in keeping the ‘folks’ (Obama), the ‘deplorables’ (Clinton) in false divisions and uninformed of what is going on. —
Andropov, back in the USSR, clue in the music, was rigid One Party, it was accepted ‘seniors’ could be ‘figureheads.’ The commitee takes on running everything.
Gorbatchev, viewed as a traitor by many, was next. He attempted sweeping reforms, in sharp contrast to Andropov enforcing the old order, why Idk, all in favor of ‘western’, ‘neo-lib’ ‘modern’ etc. policies, mind-sets, agreements, laws, leading to the plunder of the USSR and its breakup. (Jeffrey Sachs was an advisor.)
Trump is in a similar spot to Gorby. To maintain the US domination over large parts of the world, aka ‘US hegemony’, plus ensure some kind of status quo at home that prevents civil war / extreme violence, radical reform MUST be implemented.
His path seems to be a confused and partial approach to a returning to ‘old times’ when the USA was an industrial, commercial power, unrivalled, after WW2. Combined with ‘new alliances’, dire threats re. commerce (note, not military) to Russia and others… (well maybe old story by now.) But that is being charitable… More could be said, this post is too long…
re.the first article at top post, Trenin:
https://swentr.site/news/621486-dmitry-trenin-world-war-iii/
(Of course WW3 is already raging imho.)
War – in its modern, diffuse form – has intensified. This is not a new Cold War. Since 2022, the West’s campaign against Russia has grown more decisive.
Iirc. Trenin used to be quite pro-West, or pro-Peace / negotiation, compromise, etc. He only recently swerved to a more ‘realist’ stance. Putin is also becoming seriously pissed off, and recently declared that France is amongst the first of non-friendly nations (my words not his), putting it ahead of Germany. Details don’t matter…
Fellow European powers like Britain, France, and Germany must be made to understand they are vulnerable. Their capitals are not immune. The same message should reach Finland, Poland, and the Baltics. Provocations must be met swiftly and decisively.
Modern ‘war’ is multi-level:
Trade -> see tariffs, sanctions, moves at the WTO, banking sector, etc. In first place.
Munitions -> smart or not, precision or not, effective or not, cheap / expensive.. paid for by xyz.
Digital -> exchange of information, access to satellites, information, plots, spying, hacking data, cutting off the internet, info conduits, blowing up cell phones to kill, etc.
Propaganda -> controlling the news, the intertubes, grass roots orgs, communications in general, supressing dissidents by various ‘digital’ (amongst other) means.
Lawfare -> attacking parties via some ‘Intl laws’ or whatever can be mustered; against home dissidents as well.
Biowarfare -> Infecting populations is definetly part of the arsenal, be it against supposed ‘enemies’ or ‘locals’ who are undesired.
Other -> a long list.
Russia is threatening to show what being bombed is like.

*Scattered speculations on the US ruling class*
excerpts:
The quick version of my historical analysis is that the WASP elite that ruled the country from the late 19th century through the 1970s lost its pre-eminence and was succeeded by, well, it’s not easy to say what, except that it’s more mercenary and short-sighted than its predecessor. .. Since the 2016 election, analysts have talked about much of Trump’s support coming from the white working class.
(…)
Though they may code as working class to metropolitan elites, a lot of those supporters don’t have many scratches in the cargo beds of their giant pickup trucks. As a 2019 paper by Thomas Ogorzalek and collaborators put it, they’re nationally poor and locally rich—a provincial petite bourgeoisie, lawyers, accountants, car dealers, contractors. That has long been a base for right-wing politics…
….the right, which is now on a campaign against “woke capitalism,” or what the irrepressible Marjorie Taylor Greene calls “corporate communism.” Republican states are withdrawing pension assets from BlackRock management, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is making ESG into one of the fronts in his war on wokeness.

Oh the vid of Trumpy from Maga Voice (at top post) – brilliant, v. well done.
Today, though, as focussed on personalia — setting aside foreign policy, the BBTB (big beautiful tax bill) re. internal struggles – …
There is no First Lady in the TrumpAdmin II.
Imho DT and Melania are separated, Idk where she lives, but the job, official function, is unoccupied.
(Maybe a first in US history?)
The First Daughter – Ivanka – and her spouse, Jared Kushner, are also AWOL.
As for the other children, idk what they are doing, in any case not reported in international news.
DT is isolated, lonely, no wife, no children, no family support / interest.
Blumenthal (I am not a fan) says that Trump is being deliberately isolated, not given proper info, etc. He states that S. Wiles (chief of Staff) worked previous for Netanyahu.
On Purple, re. article at top post.
Purple is the color of the Overlords since thousands of years. Yes, literally. It was very expensive to produce, only Royalty, top Elites, Supremos, etc. could afford it. (Search > *Tyrian Purple*)
A pic of H + B Clinton sporting purple, 2017, concession speech. Vogue.

Michelle Obama … many others…
Re. the Trump support figures up top. Many polls are quite ‘partial’, some are ‘manipulated’, even without intent to skew, anyway let’s take it on, the results reflect that ‘cheap’ labor depresses long-term nationals / residents salaries, job opportunities, advancement, etc.
Getting rid of the ‘intruders’ ‘illegals’ seems an obvious, simple solution, the hope being, our incomes will rise.
Very real beefs imho as ‘productivity gains’ have been for a long time, say roughly 50 years, shunted to the top 10% – to the 1% – at the expense of the workers doing the job. This is common knowledge, but it leads to zero politically (see the like of Bush, Obiman, Pelosi or Sanders..)
So manhandling and kicking out the ppl one can blame (poor immigrants, etc.) instead of destroying, changing, the system is an easy ‘out’ and allows some citizens to grasp some hope for change.
Targetting some group for xtreme cruelty – incarceration – killing … is a common tactic. Bush opened Gitmo, Trump is opening some new prison? (Idk the details). Trump’s thing though is ‘deportation’, I doubt he beats on the numbers – Obama was tops (one link.)
Getting rid of much cheap imported labor will kill, or reduce, or slowly strangle, many biz in the US who are dependent on it. Agri, fast food, landscaping, home hairdressing, pool maintaince, nail shops, and more, idk. Construction. Agri imho is the biggest choke-point.
So Trumpy is caught between a rock and a hard place. He needs to favor, represent, aid, his base, and at the same time be a Maga Leader who supports the MIC, Big Med, Big Pharma, and increasing Police State (DHS, etc.), cutting social benefits (Medicaid etc.), sending many to their death. (Military funding not taken into account here.)
Candace Owens (see post at top) has taken over an F claim that Brigitte Macron is a man.
This is a kind of ricochet, copy, of the ‘scandal’ that claims Michelle Obama is a man, never had 2 children, etc. (I won’t be adressing this claim here…)
The original story came from a man called Xavier Poussard, who publishes a print-only news sheet, very expensive to buy, and is doing very well.
Recently (but only since afaik 6 months) he has appeared on a few ‘talk shows’ on ‘alt media.’ (I saw one and wasn’t impressed.)
The meme however was taken up by 2 women who were hating on Brigitte Macron.
Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey (independent ‘journos’, use these names for any search) have both been condemned to big fines for — well it isn’t libel, or diffamation, but ‘false information’ or some combo thereof, the legal aspect is murky.
Huff post in F:
The problem with the story is that Brigitte has 3 children, and they look like a perfect mix of her and her ex (now deceased), and none of the ‘conspi’ theorists have been able to account for where these children came from, as not being not children of Brigitte and her husband.
The best they did was to out a woman called Brigitte Auzière (same name as Brigitte Macron before her marriage to the F Pres) who was a regional councillor somewhere — this Bibi never had any children, and she and her husband have also won ‘damages’ for incorrect info, etc.
France has a long history of loving US culture — jazz, whiskey, black ppl doing showie stuff, tabloid journalism, going back to 1920, and this bent seems to be having a heyday!
When the Empire cracks, some of its vassals become hyper agressive (partly on their own account for their own interests), as a valiant loyal spear-head, etc. (e.g. Israel. Which can’t survive without massive US (EU) support.)
Others may bow down and kiss the Emperor’ ring or feet, understanding that only over-the-top flattery may keep a shaky (or right-out ersatz) alliance going strong, aka sworn to! personal subservience. (Rutte, at NATO summit. Beyond Pathetic.)
This works on Trump for maybe 3 hours, 3 days, or 3 weeks, as he, his Admin, are locked into strange shifting agendas, having no long term strategy, no clear goals (that are realistic imho, other story.)
This is not specifically related to Trump, but to US foreign policy in general (let’s say from Obiman on) which veers between armed attacks, bombing, devastation of anyone who provides an easy target, economic sanctions, political manipulations (color revols, scotching elections, installing puppets, manipulating statesmen, buying up huge swathes of land, industries, and more…) which happily seems to be vacillating…?
Trumpy as the last figure to reign? Idk.
What we are witnessing is the winding down of the US Empire. Trump is caught between (his supporters) ‘isolationists’ (no more war, multipolar world, good lucrative biz, with the USA still ‘on top’) and agressive war-mongers with varied motives. Both being approaches to maintain some kind of dominance.
Re. articles at top,
“US mulls easing Iran sanctions.” Iran was the winner in the 12 day skirmish. The USA needs new ties, links, allies, etc. notably w. Russia in 1st place.
Along the same lines, “Let Trump save us from war with Iran” as well as “The damage Iran has inflicted on Israel” (Helmer) both contain the idea that Iran gave Israel a strong but calibrated and cautious warning beating — to ‘save’ the vestiges of Israel, have it survive, it must stop agression, back down, etc.
“Netan. corruption trial should be cancelled” as said by Trump is another move in the same direction, Bibi being ‘pardoned’ might remove his motive for blowing up everything, he could retire to Florida.
The US warned of the coming attacks on Iran, and Iran warned the US that the US base in Qatar was to be blasted, as stated by Jay in “Is Donald Trump really running the Iran show?”
“Trump to consider future UKR aid” RT. The article shows that this is maybe, maybe not, shuffling around stuff. My guess is not, the US will do all it can to ignore, cover up, forget, the loss in Ukraine. One difficulty might be the kick-back mechanism (arms gifts / sales on tick afford kick-backs to the US shareholders, etc.)
Of course all of this leaves Palestinians on the genocide agenda.
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.)
Thierry Meyssan, in line w. my prev. post. Just one aspect of course.
The confrontation between Israel and Iran does not at all correspond to the image presented by the media. Its roots lie in a period before the Islamic Republic and has no connection with the construction of a nuclear bomb. Its outbreak today is intended to conceal the misdeeds of the Argentinian Rafael Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
(…)
Iran was the victim, in 1917-1919, of the largest genocide of the First World War. 6 to 8 million people died of starvation out of a population of 18 to 20 million, or between a quarter and a third of Iranians. Iran, although neutral, was crushed by the British armies, against a backdrop of rivalry with the Bolsheviks and the Ottomans. This horror has left a traumatic memory that is still very present in Iran. There is no doubt for an Iranian that the United Kingdom is his country’s primary enemy.

The pretext of **Iran Nuclear enrichment > Nukes** was, is, ridiculous, as we all know. The narrative is window-dressing the ‘public’, TV watchers, etc. However it affords the Creators of this BS a sort of Comfort Zone where they can adhere, believe in, their group-thing, uphold it, etc., and act in function of it…to jbhb, in the last thread.
I have been trying to synthesize analysis of LGBT movement / prop for some time, have posted about it before.

Re. prev. thread. Persia has never surrendered
— depends in part on the def. of ‘surrender’—
Goog:
Approximately 2 million Persian civilians died during World War I, primarily due to famine and disease, exacerbated by the Armenian genocide and the actions of occupying forces. This period also saw occupation by Turkish, Russian, and British troops, although Persia officially maintained neutrality. 1
wiki:
The fighting also involved local Persian units, who fought against the Entente and Ottoman forces in Iran. The conflict proved to be a devastating experience for Persia. 2
1. Other estimates give much higher nos.
2. The Entente = “Allied powers” F, GB, Rus, later US, Japan.I am no historian so, quotes from goog, wiki. But WW1 is surely relevant in a way.

Indeed, and here in Switz. the Big Parade took place. I have been told it was less frequented / had less enthusiastic spectators, as compared to other years. (I was not here and didn’t see it myself. Apologies for the Frenchisms.)
Imho. GAY ‘liberation’ was not a spontaneous movement, it was organised by W powers, who wanted to show that they ‘accepted’ ‘alternative life-styles’ – note, of a non-political nature – and were not ‘bound by tradition’ and ‘condemned discrimination re. sexual practices’ and so on.
The demos, the symbols, rainbows, the showy clothes, etc. were calculated by Ad Agencies and spread around the W (no doubt with some payments here and there, imho… I know of one local case..) to ‘support the cause.’
The PTB behind the scenes had decided that social issues could mask others, and that they, the Elites, could give up some license, some privileges, pre-rogatives, re. sexual relations.
— Note in GB all upper class gays since 1750 had a free hand, OK, Oscar Wilde went to prison, but he was so over the top, an example needed to be made..
Yet, the most harmful sexual exploitation, pedophilia acted on, was, and is, held to the chest as a privilege for the Elites.
Ilargi, all my wishes > your recovery. I’d add, don’t hesitate to ask for help, other story of course.
On “Musk stepping down” at top post.
Musk could not be a billionaire ‘entrepreneur’ and ‘cut Gvmt spending’, the two roles are antithetical.
Now that Tesla’s biz / stock (other Musky ventures not mentioned here) are going down the drain, he has to leave the Gvmt.
Gvmt. money-creation and spending is not there to earn money, but to ‘regulate’ money flows, via interest rates, loans, Gvmt budget, taxes, tariffs, plus, fund essential services, e.g. Education, Infrastructure, etc., via taxation, aka a re-distribution mechansim, without which the US (and other countries) immediately descend into Civil War.
This is a simplistic pov and doesn’t enter the debate about money creation and so forth, it is just the top of the ‘basic’ ledger that anyone can understand, and most ppl act on.
Sure cronyism, waste, corruption exist, in the US and elsewhere, on the ‘state’ teat, but that isn’t really relevant here.
Musk tried both to ‘save Gvmt money’ and I suppose ‘reduce Gvmt debt’ (without having a clue about it’s role and functioning) following a partisan agenda, a ‘small state plan’, cutting essential services as much as possible (that is set to continue imho), and targetting ‘social engineering stuff’ like diversity progs etc., basically entering into quarrels and taking sides about what groups should be favored via. Gvmt. funding.

From, at top post, European kakistocracy locked in a Forever War against Russia by Escobar.
To qualify EU actions as self-destructive anti-intellectualism is actually benign. The IQ of people at the top in Brussels is at dismembered worm level, exemplified by the Estonian batshit crazy chick in theory representing the foreign policy of 450 million EU citizens. Brussels has been reduced to a pathetic Estonian propaganda snake pit with a whiff of British accent.
A lot of sympathy for this pov, but what Pepe is missing is that these EU ‘leaders’ (Ursi the Lying, Merz, more radical than Sholz, he just sanctioned NordStream!, Macron, always between two positions, and Meloni, trying to balance whatever, these are the figures one sees in the News, as pro-US, pro-NATO, anti-Russkie types, the Baltics snappers don’t count..) are AFRAID.
Desperate, even. They have been boosted and formatted by the US, still they owe something to the ppl on the ground, they are all acutely aware of what happened to Yugoslavia (balkanised, much killing, they agreed to that as it was just far off and ‘communist’ enough, and well…), to Lybia (again, somewhat removed, Muslim, etc.) .. what comes next?
Those who argue along the lines I am doing here often refer to the occupation of Germany and Italy post WW2 (+ Japan) with da military bases etc. I am not sure this plays much of a role, as compared to soft power, corruption, corp. / personal deals, trade agreements, election manipulation, and so on.
This site purports to list US and all Foreign Milit. bases with a description. Idk how good it is? I checked out 2 I know about, was OK.
