For fifty years I have heard Israel's lies and, for more than fifty years I've heard the US's lies. Now hearing the two of them together with both their current leaders I know it's at least treble the lies.

George, you are much more succinct describing this reality than I was in this X sent to CNN's Dana Bash holding a Town Hall last night.

Listening to the WAR Propaganda with so many Sins of Historical Omission, increasingly gets me angry in the way they manipulate Public Opinion like a 5th horseman of the Apocalypse.

What kind of Journalist are you to let Waltz BS his whole way through speaking lies? Where's your Journalistic Integrity.

His non stop Nuclear BS is the worst.

It was Trump that withdrew from the JCPOA that effectively prevented Iran from developing nukes. Ask him about that.

This US/ISRAEL WAR they started violated the very same International LAW Russia is DEMONIZED for violating.

He talked about the Iranian currency collapsing when the US is 100% responsible for it's collapse with the deliberate goal of forcing Iranians into the streets in protest

He accuses Iran as being genocidal, while the US is 100% complicit with Israel's murderous genocide massacre of Palestinian women and children in Gaza having NO DEFENCE against Israel's US weapons.

Perfectly skewers the appalling role the MSM is playing in all this. Oz equivalent to UK's Peter Oborne.

Even though we know Iran is innocent of starting this "illegal war" Westerners will more and more blame Iran for the economic suffering the war brings in every sector of our economies. Because having affordable material goods is as far as our ethics go. More and more Westerners SENTIMENTS will creep towards nuclear annihilation of Iran. Whether we go that far remains to be seen. But Western "thinking" morality has long ago demonstrated that we are morally deficient. Iranians are morally sufficient enough to have other values prioritized. They are willing be denied luxuries willing to die for something greater than materialism.

The "conspiracy theory" rhetoric is a delicate issue in the US, George. Most people realize there is no way in hell that Lee Harvey Oswald, working alone, killed President Kennedy, but the US government insists he did. The assassination of Robert Kennedy also reeked of false narrative, and questions have been raised about the assassination of Martin Luther King as well.

I suspect that the US government -- with the aid of what the Soviets used to call "useful idiots" -- has spawned many of the subsequent false narratives in order to discredit the legitimate ones. I resolutely believe that Trump insiders are given stock market tips, commodities future tips, and (most recently) Polymarket tips, profiting obscenely from the horrors of the attack on Iran. However, my views are instantly compared to theories about Sandy Hook (the authenticity of which, by the way, I have never doubted). I believe that the 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas was another "false flag," because various sources cite either outright blindness by Mossad or the orders to "stand down" shortly before Hamas struck.

At the end of the day, the Right/Trumpista/Zionist axis of evil are extremely efficient at discrediting legitimate objections to and observations about their narratives. We must know our enemies if we are to entertain hopes of defeating them.

No Lenny you aren’t sounding conspiratorial - profit, theft and more profit and more theft has been Chump’s motivation for the US Presidency. He like every other US President has enriched themselves from the Presidency. But more than most of the modern day clowns and crooks that have run the show in the US he has benefitted enormously to the tune of billions and some than everyone else. Chump is running a ponzi scheme and the American people are too ignorant and naive to recognise it. This is a time for Americans to rise up!

Sadly, "the Americans" -- minus the Bible-thumping Evangelicals, centrist DemocRats, homophobes, islamophobes, racists, transphobes, Zionists, and mindless illiterates who watch *Fox News* -- have little chance against the billionaires. However, there are still some faint hopes...

Brilliant! Zionist false flags are at every turn! Thanks, GH!

Thank you JK.

There's nothing stopping Iran from making a series of dirty bombs right now and firing them off at various targets. They have the materials, they have the missiles, their enemies' defenses are depleted.

Funny, since we are regularly assured that Iran is in the grip of an apocalyptic death cult intend on the eradication of freedom and bikinis.

Thank you George for your insight. The truth is so obvious when you look at the history and evidence but those who don't want to learn or ask the question "why" and "how" are often giving these evil regimes (Israel and USA) the power to continue destroying the world. Frightening to say the least

I agree.

However, Iran knows how the media twists and weaponizes statements. Do they need to send threats like that? What would be the gain? Frightened/shivering Israeli officials cancelling their vacations?

They know the western world demonizes Iran. No need to give them extra ammunition.

This blog is another critically important pivot point demonstrating just how dangerous and perilous the world situation is becoming. This is the first world war that is actually global, all consuming, hybrid and apocalyptic. Informed commentators are already stating it will change the world forever ---- in directions ALREADY beyond our control. Whether it goes nuclear or not is a moot point as the damage done by conventional warfare is already escalating out of control. It is very much about oil and resources which are powerful catalysts in redrawing maps.

In the Ukraine war NATO had the esculatory advantage and used it to fire up the war and escalate. Even though Russia wanted peace and was negotiating for it from the outset-- Do recall British PM Boris Johnson's trip to Ukraine where he made Zelensky tear up a negotiated peace treaty in April of 2022--- That same war is now 5 years old!

Now the same thing is happening on a global scale where the US/Israel tag team of death and destruction is playing an all-in game for global domination--- It is their delusional death wish they are more than willing to inflict on the world. Their insanity knows no limits.

As it is now both Russia and China are logistically supporting Iran. But it appears no amount of appeasement will stop the escalation and both countries are going to have to enter the war as active participants.... then world war three will be in full blossom.

My sources tell me apocalypse is a transitional phase leading to terminal Armageddon.

Media is a 💯% joo psyop.

There is a pattern: exterminate as many as you can-destroy their infrastructure-means to rebuild-then mow the lawn when you please-when you deem necessary or just for fun-Because you can!

It's the same pattern for monopolies-oligarchy-eliminate small businesses-pay off any democratic impulse and turn people into serfs feeding big Tech- technofascists our data.

It's all about concentrating wealth which is power. This pattern will keep on playing out-as concentrated wealth gets better at concentrating wealth and we become poorer-more dependent upon the technofascists. Click on Amazon and you are complicit. Clicking on Amazon is becoming more and more our only or "best" option.

The Arab American corporate Vassell states of the Gulf are hardly practitioners of Islamic Finance's solution to hoarding- against usury “So That Wealth May Not Circulate Only Among the Rich” “Iran—despite its flaws—has adhered more closely to Islamic economic principles than the Gulf monarchies, which operate as corporate rentier states.” Concentrated wealth of the West hates “So That Wealth May Not Circulate Only Among the Rich” more than anything else. Follow the money and you follow the ethics.
