Has Trump Declared Victory Too Soon - Iran's Nuclear Plants Reported Undamaged By Independent Sources

 

Bloomberg's latest headline , Where is Iran's Uranium? highlights the 'biggest mystery' that remains in the war. There's also the pressing question of whether Trump's massive airstrikes from B-2 bombers actually destroyed the facilities and their allged stockpiles of enriched uranium. 

The Iranians aren't dumb, and likely took drastic steps to further protect, conceal, or likely move these enriched stockpiles - some 400kg according to most reports - as wave after wave of Israeli warplanes hit Iran, significantly before the US sent its bombers this past weekend. It appears core components are still intact - though Iran has long maintained it is merely for peaceful nuclear energy development. 

The NY Times is currently reporting that the US operation merely set Iran's nuclear program back by a few months.

And emerging satellite intelligence also points to the stockpile having not been destroyed, which contradicts the current 'victory lap' claims being made by President Trump and some of his top officials. Below is a CNN report based on an assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA):

One unnamed defense official quoted in the report says centrifuges are largely "intact." And more based on the apparently 'Top Secret' leaked DIA intel report: “So the (DIA) assessment is that the US set them back maybe a few months, tops,” this person added. 

Mideast Wars Iran

After getting premature reports of a successful air strike on Iran's nuclear fuel operation Trump tried to use the claimed success to force a ceasefire on the warring nations, Israel and Iran. That was never going to work because neither side really wants one, which is a repeat of the situation in Ukraine. And just the same as in Ukraine, Trump is learning somewhat belatedly it is impossible to negotiate with nutcases.

As of this point, the latest Middle East war seems to be running its course and as Israel and Iran have been building up to this latest intallment in their 3000 year old quarrel for several decades it is unlikely Trump's efforts to make a deal would work even if he was as good a negotiator as he thinks he is.

There's too much money to make on the table and available for the right sales pitch. There are multiple layers. Israel vs Iran for their own reasons is the base layer. I suspect Russian oligarchs want a new client state, only one that won't be a cash drain like East Germany. Our NATO's imbecile leaders say 'Step Right Up and Let 'Er Rip." The Euro / US MIC and probably Russia's are both weeping "Thank You, Jesus."

Trump can howl and bluster but he's not in control. Only Israel and Iran can decide to shut it down. Fat chance. 3000 years of history says otherwise. Ordinary hate, dumbfounding superstition, and too much cash available for the taking will keep the show on the road.

Most of the commenters and a lot of everyone else treat this war as a  reality TV spectacle. There are caricature good guys and bad guys which are fun to take sides with. It's a team sports event with a soccer riot that's always available to jump into.

Trump's Risky Bet - American Attacks On Iran Raise Risk Of Global Conflict

 

American cities are on high alert after US Air Force long range bombers, acting on orders from President Trump carried out airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, declaring the operation a "spectacular military success" while warning Iran to negotiate peace with Israel. 

Meanwhile financial marets in the west had a bad case of squeaky bottom syndrom as Iran stepped up its threat to blockade The Strait of Hormuz, through which around 25% of the world's crude oil passes. Such action would cause economic chaos to the global economy. To underline its threat the Iranian government jammed GPS signalling around the strait, disrupting the movementof tankers in and out of the Persian Gulf. 

Only hours after news of Trump's strike on Iranian nuclear facilities was reported, the NYPD issued a statement confirming additional patrols at "religious, cultural, and diplomatic sites" across New York City. The department stopped short of confirming any direct threats but obviously fears that Iran has terrorist operatives embedded in the city. Similarly, Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department pledged to "safeguard residents, businesses, and visitors" while monitoring intelligence.It would be naive to pretent that after the Biden era of 'open borders' Iran and other enemies of the USA hae not infiltrated American cities had made plans to damage infrastructure and disruput daily life.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass echoed the cautious stance, stating that while no "credible threats" had been identified, the LAPD was stepping up patrols near places of worship and "sensitive sites." Miami-Dade County also joined the security surge, with sheriff’s deputies increasing visibility countywide.

Former NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro, who specialized in counterterrorism, warned that authorities would focus on locations tied to the conflict, including Shia mosques (Iran’s dominant sect) and Jewish community centers. "You never know what’s going to develop," Mauro said, noting that police would also ramp up cyber surveillance to track online threats. 

The Kremlin has announced Monday that Russia stands ready to help Iran in its ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States in the Middle East, based on specific requests.

Such assistance "all depends on what Iran needs," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained, as quoted in TASS. "We have offered our mediation efforts. This is concrete. We have stated our position, which is also a very important form of support for the Iranian side."

"Going forward, everything will depend on what Iran needs at this moment," Peskov continued, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is currently in Moscow, preparing to meet with President Vladimir Putin.

Aljazeera reports today that Russia and China have strongly condemned US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, warning they could drag the world into a broader war and set a dangerous international precedent. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday described the American strikes as “unjustified” and said they were pushing the world towards a perilous tipping point.  Putin today described the American strikes as “unjustified” and said they were pushing the world towards a perilous tipping point.

The Chinese government also weighed in, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi condemning both the Israeli strikes on Iran and the US bombardment of its nuclear facilities. He said the rationale of attacking over “possible future threats” sent the wrong signal to the world and urged a return to diplomacy.

While the usual suspects in Washington and among the NATO nations were declaring victory and calling for regime change in Tehran, regardless of the fact that Iran is far from defeated, not all voices in the west were praising Trump's unofficial declaation of war. 

Quoted from CSW "The U.S. does not seek to defent democracy abroad—it seeks compliance. If democracy produces outcomes favourable to American interests, it is tolerated. But the moment a sovereign electorate chooses a path that diverges from Washington’s preferences, the very same institutions that Americans claim to hold sacred—elections, parliaments, constitutions—are treated as disposable obstacles to geopolitical control. 

The 1953 Iranian coup remains one of the clearest illustrations of this duplicity. Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh was not a radical; he was a secular reformist, democratically elected, and widely popular for his anti-colonial stance. His primary offence was attempting to nationalise Iran’s oil industry—daring to assert that Iranians, not British or American corporations, should benefit from Iranian resources. 

In response, the CIA and MI6 orchestrated a covert operation—Operation Ajax—to topple his government, bribe press and clergy, and install a dictator. The Shah, restored to power, ruled with brutal repression for decades. The democratic parliament was neutered. Political opponents were tortured or disappeared by SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police—trained and funded by the United States. 

The coup did not merely interrupt Iran’s experiment with democracy; it annihilated it. The Islamic Revolution of 1979, which replaced monarchy with theocratic rule, was not some inexplicable lurch into extremism. It was a delayed consequence of betrayal. 

When a population watches a superpower destroy its democratic institutions for oil profits, the backlash does not arrive with ballots—it arrives with rage. ".-

Root cause? the USA is the problem.

As Western News Channels Clam Up On Israel - Iran War, The Situation Is Becoming More Dangerous

 

 

As we follow news of the Iran / Israel war on television, internet and print publications, some of the statements coming from Israel's defence ministry are reminiscent of the propaganda broadscasts of Iraqi foeign affairs secretary Comical Ali, (Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf,) in the second gulf war around the turn of the century. The current crop of spinners and liars make his claims that Saddam Hussein's forces were routing the American and NATO alliance look like honest and diligent journalism. Hopefully some readers are old enough to remember him.

 In spite of the propaganda, Israel is not crushing Iran, the Iranians were never going to be a pushover. Israel's iron dome air defence system is failing or has been outclassed by suerior weaponary because missiles fired from Iran, but probably made in China, are hitting targets in Israel  

This is not to say that Iran is winning of course, but reports that the regime of the Ayatollah's is on the brink of collapse, the supreme leaders is on his deathbed and blah blah are so reminiscent of what we have been reading and hearnf from mainstream media about the state of Russia's government throughout the course of the war in Ukraine. And yet the Russian war machone grinds on and repeatedly exposes Kiev's lie that Ukraine can seal victory if only the west will cough up mone money, more and better weapons and more boots on the ground, (let's not pretend there are no NATO troops providing tech support in the war zone, they've been there almost from the start.  

Another question on the middle east conflict I haven't seen raised elsewhere is what happened to Hezbollah? Were the best armed and most organised terrorist group completely wiped out and all of their rockets destroyed? that seems odd to me as even Hamas was able to launch one of their homemade rockets not too long ago. Could it be that they are waiting for the complete collapse of the so-called Iron Dome before they pull those rockets out of where ever they have hidden them and unleash them on Israeli civilians. 

The problem for Israel, as with the ukraine/uk/eu/us axis of terrorism, is that they cannot lose face by admitting Iran is matching them because the whole national identity is built upon "we the are the best and strongest and most humane ever, the chosen of God!", and one single crack shatters their image, so they have to double, triple, quadruple down on the lies.

The israelis could of course overthrow their government and try to seek peace and cooperation, but that would destroy the 'chosen of God' myth and show them to be just another bunch of war crazy middle eastern zealots..

Any military initiative by America will not be about nuclear war, but oil. As the case for 'sustinable' sources of energy (wind and solar,) collapses, we reutrn to a situation of who controls the oil controls the world.

America,s plan has been long in the making and is wel on track although a few years behind schedule. The  Dubya Bush era plan to destroy 5 countries in 5 years was about controlling the oil, as has been done notably in Syria and Iraq. America will try to use it's ME bases and muscle to control the Persian Gulf. There will be a 20% cost to pass through which will solve a lot of problems for America' faltering economy. The usefulness of the petro-dollar is fading and fee for passage and guarantee of security is the American plan.

 The elephant in the room is China, now the manufacturing hub of the world and according to experts a match for the USA militarily. And coincidentally a close ally of Iran. Higher oil prices will impact China. Though the burgeoning Chinese economy sources most of its oil from  Russia and Iran with Iranian supples possibly disrupted by war damage and Russia free to resume supplies to Europe, America may see it's control of oil through the Gulf as their most effective weapon in a trade war against China.

However China has shown it is not in a mood to be controlled by America. Ther recently positioned two aircraft carriers off Guam the coast of Guam. And Guam has to be critical to America's military plan. 

Will the Chinese dragon wake up and breathe fire? Maybe.

Israel - Iran War Threatens Energy Crisis And Worse For The Global Economy

 

With Iran and Israel in full-on war, the world’s energy nerves are fraying. Central to this anxiety is a narrow strip of water just 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, the Strait of Hormuz. More than a chokepoint, Hormuz is the jugular vein of global energy trade. When Iran’s leadership, in a display of calibrated brinkmanship that is the diplomatic equivalent of giving Trump the finger, threatens to block it, global oil and gas markets jolt awake.

For government planners and defence chiefs in Asia, the region most dependent on oil and gas flows through the Hormuz chokepoint, an extended period of the total blockade of the Strait presents a nightmare scenario. Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshide Suga, for instance, stated in May 2019 after the tanker attacks in the Strait that it is a “matter of life and death of our country in terms of energy security”.

Iranian officials have often made threats to the security of the shipping, but the Government has never actually attempted to close the Strait. The Strait, thus, has never been blockaded, although shipping traffic was badly affected during the ‘Tanker War’ phase of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. In the most recent statement from the Iranian Government, Esmail Kosari, a member of the Parliament’s Security Commission, said that the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz is “being seriously reviewed”.  

In 2024, approximately 20 million barrels of crude oil passed through the Strait every day. That’s around 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption, and about 30% of all seaborne crude oil trade. On the natural gas front, nearly a fifth of the world’s LNG exports — mainly from Qatar and the UAE — navigate these same waters. Together, oil and gas transiting Hormuz power the economies of East Asia, Europe and beyond. This isn’t some obscure regional pipeline; it’s a lynchpin of the world economy.

This is the ultimate catastrophic mistake on so many levels. It is horrifying but on another level I understand that it has to happen as part of the process of destroying the US$ empire. Geopolitical orders and and military balances can change very quickly. In some ways it is  understandable why western leaders want this war but ultimately, like all wars, it will create more problems than it solves.

Religious fanatics have been writing doomsday scenarios since mankind learned to write. Actions speak louder than words and the current Israeli fanatics have determined their religion is prime. They are the ones doing what? Bombing the hell out of their neighbours and depriving their own people of the basic necessities required for life. No, not Hamas, not Iran, not Muslims but Israeli Jews are murdering en masse while on the verge of ordering the US President, another one of the world’s more questionable figures, to wipe a sovereign country (Iran) off the map.

How The BRICS Summit Surpassed The G7 & G20 As The World’s Most Influential Gathering

 via Great Game India, 30 October 2024

The 16th BRICS Summit, held in Kazan, Russia, from October 22 to 24, wasn’t just another meeting of world leaders. It marked a turning point in global politics. For the first time, this summit was viewed as more influential globally than the meetings of the G7 or G20, which typically dominate world discussions.

This year's summit was more worthy of our attention than usual because four new countries—Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE—joined as official BRICS members in January. This move expanded BRICS beyond the original membership of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. As Russia hosted a gathering of 36 world leaders, the expanding BRICS+ initiative looks to be a growing obstacle to the hegemony US and its allies hoped to exercise.

Established in 2009, and later expanded in 2024, the BRICS+ geopolitical bloc draws its name from its original members (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) but now also includes Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia and the UAE.Significantly Saudi Arabia has been invited to join and has slready abandoned its committment to accept payment for oil exports only in US dollars, while others, such as Turkey, are also expected to join. Its members already constitute 45% of the world’s population and 28% of its economic output.

As such, it is often described as a geopolitical counterweight to the G7.  Russia and Iran and China are alrady collaborating to challence challenging the dominance in international trade of the dollar. The most important country is of course China, and China has been sitting on the fence over US led sanctions of Russia and Iran. The most likely reason China has held back from fully supporting the US against Russia and Iran is because Chinese state-controlled banks also do not want to be cut off from the US dollar and Wall Street.

And as long as China remains integrated in the global financial system centered on the US dollar, China is effectively the largest foreign funder of everything the US does, including sending weapons to Ukraine that are used against Russia and Taiwan that are pointed towards China.

China is of course also deeply integrated in global supply chain and trade networks,having become the wokshop of the world as net - zero obsessed wesern leaders have deindustrialised their economies, thus offshoring not only their CO2 emissions but jobs and revenue into the bargain. With the Chinese economy stuggling, any serious moves to decouple from this global dollar system could back fire disastrously.

BRICS+ is a reltively young organisation integration and coherence is rocky at best which should caution us to make any future projections based on current relationhips rather than deeper structural forces. strained relations between China and India, which significantly hampers collective BRICS action to the point of incoherence. Also, it is notable that Saudi Arabia has not yet joined along with UAE even though they said they would, and detente between the Shia Musim government of Iran and the Saudi Sunni Muslim monarchy has only taken place recently.

The original BRICS members were never as united as the G7 even without these new members.

The first step for the BRICS+ to challenge the West would be to build consensus for such a project to replace or at least seriously challence the Dollar, which does not exist, and most importantly to sell more oil in a currency other than the US dollar. And as this publication has reported extensively in the past that project is already well under way.

The Death Of Irananian Presisent Does Not Guarantee The Fall Of The Regime

 

The death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash last week has set the fervid imaginations of  journalists in western mainstream media alight as the pile fuel on the fire of revolution and regime change. Sadly, because the Islamic republic’s social and economic degeneracy is crying out or change, Iran's regime appears more robust than commentators in liberal media are prepared to admit As is generally the case when the mullahs find themselves under pressure, their default position is to blame the West which is exactly what they are doing now.


Vast crowds at the funeral of Iran's President Raisi do not suggest the regime is in any trouble (Picture: Politico)

 

The helicopter in which Raisi died was simply not equipped with the blind flying gear necessary for the weather conditions it was flying in. In the warped universe leaders of Iran’s theocracy inhabit, the helicopter crash that killed Raisi and seven others, including the foreign minister, was not due to the inadequacy of the aircraft to fly in the prevailing weather conditions but with the West for imposing the sanctions that have denied Tehran the ability to purchase the upgrades required enable the US Bell 212 helicopter in which the Iranian leader perished to 'fly blind' when the ground is obliterated by heavy cloud or mist.

Only another revolution by the Iranian people can unseat these murderous mullahs! I hope that happens. Unfortunately, the word Islamic permits all sorts nonsense in the psyche of Muslim populations. Islam with its requirement for unquestioning belief in the incredible makes it incompatible with democracy. So, one can only hope for the least worst type of regime to emerge. 

With regard to the cluelessness of the west about how to deal with regimes like that of Iran (or either Russia or china for that matter,) the simple fact is that  the (UK) Foreign Office is stuffed to the rafters with mediocre graduates who earned degrees in Politics, Philosophy and Economics or Political Science at Oxford and Cambridge and eith joined the civil service or became Special Advisers (aka SPADS or Gofors,) on the personal staff of some politician.

Few of them have any experience of working in the real world and most are from priveleged backrounds and so have little understanding of the lives and concerns of the people whose lives will be affected by the failings and vacillations of the political class.

 Such are not people driven to seize advantages for the UK or even to promote British values. They are intellectual lightweights without the wits or ambition to pursue objectives beyond their sole grail of moving another step up the ladder.

The idea of one of these spineless creatures challenging the murderous despots of Iran or any other large and powerful tyranny is far closer to a delusion than a hope. They are pathetic weaklings justifying their pathetic weakness with the even more pathetically weak excuse of 'keeping diplomatic channels open', although how they can think that blindly following the lead of warmongers in Washington offers a means of maintaining diplomatic relations  in the long term is a mystery. 

The idea of one of these spineless creatures challenging the murderous despots of Iran or the murderous hegemonic ambitions of the American deep state is far closer to a delusion than a hope. They are pathetic weaklings justifying their pathetic weakness with the even more pathetically weak excuse of 'keeping channels open'. For what? To shovel more and more taxpayers' money into the pockets of gangsters, fanatics and grifters?

It is unlikely the Iranian regime will collapse any time in the foreseeable future. The ayatollahs have a sound grip over the armed forces and revolutionary guard and has hundreds of thousands of supporters as was seen at the late president's funeral.While there may be a trend towards secularisation in Tehran and the few big cities the majority of the population are fanatically loyal to the religious extremists who govern them. The medieval words of Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit movement that perpetrated the horrors of The Holy Inquisition, "Give me the child to the age of seven and I will give you the man," mean exactly the same in Farsi or Arabic as they do in Latin, English or any modern world language.

The World Is being Dragged Towards War And Western Weakness Is To Blame

 

This week's news so far has focused on the worsening situation in the middle east, as western leaders appear to be accepting that there was from day one no way Ukraine could win its war with Russia and that since US and NATO leaders refused to allow Ukraine to negotiate a settlement based on the reasonable terms offered by Russia as the Istanbul talks brokered by Turkish president Recep Erdogan in April 2022 there is now no way Ukraine can avoid a crushing defeat or survive as a nation in the aftermath.

No wonder them that The White House and NATO are so eager to divert attention to events in Isral, Gaza and The Red Sea. Unfortunately rather than learing from the mistakes that led to the debacle in Ukraine, the same western leaders now appear to be determined to repeat them. Or as somebody famous one said, "Its deja vu all over again."

By failing to give whole - hearted support to either Ukraine or Israel the western alliance has shown itself to be weak and indecisive. NATO should have taken decisive steps to halt both conflicts and then made clear to both the neo - Nazis in Kiev and the Zionists in Tel Aviv that future support in conflicts against bigger, more powerful neighbours would be conditional on their behaving properly and desisting from provocative actions.

Right now in the Middle East (Ukraine is lost,) we need rational, controlled escalation from the Western powers in the face of aggression by Iran and their proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah,not more appeasement, delusion and cowardice of the past few days. The authoritarian, theocratic regime in Tehran needs to be punished for its monstrous war-mongering, not mollified and placated by a bunch of Western ignoramuses who confuse weakness for virtue. 

But as has been the case since the end of World War Two, the liberal democracies look to America for leadership. And as has been the case for the past forty years at least, that leadership has not been forthcoming. Were Joe (Dementia Man) Biden a serious president, he would announce that the mullahs in Tehran have crossed a red line, that they are an existential threat to democravy and civilised coexistence. He would declare that enough is enough, that no country can shoot hundreds of drones and missiles at one of its neighbours with impunity, that no government can go on funding terrorism, rape, torture and murder on an industrial scale. He would understand the need to deter other rogue states through a show of strength.

But Joe Biden is not a serious president, in fact many commentators in Washington express doubt that Biden is actually the de facto president.  The "Biden Administration" they claim is really Obama 3.0, and is neither blind nor incompetent. The people in government are corrupt to an unimaginable degree. Obama (or Soetoro, Dunham or any other name he has gone by,) rakes in tens of millions in kickbacks from the Iran nuclear deal, and of course, Biden, as the puppet, gets his cut too. 

That's how "Obama" has managed to buy more than $60 million in homes in recent years. They have no loyalty to the United States (which "Obama" has said he hates almost as much as he hates Israel), and they are naturally reluctant to cut off such a lucrative source of income. 

If O'Bama really is the man making decisions in The White House, he has never really favoured the West or Israel and I still believe he is a closet Muslim. The West has also, for the afore mentioned forty years, been its own worst enemy by appeasing rogue states, tolerating and even rewarding terrorists and walloeing in a morass of collective guilt over the alleged sins of our colonial past. The U.K. was a leader in this ruch to self destruction, gaving immunity to the I.R.A. in order for the Good Friday agreement to succeed, negotiating a power sharing agreement in Northern Ireland which gave former terrorists power over the very people whose families the terrorists had spent years killing. The UK government are still prosecuting our soldiers today while former terrorists is in the regional parliament and are lauded as men of peace. 

The problem with this appeasement is Terrorists never go away and as we can see they seem to have an ever expanding network which sooner or later the West will be forced to face.

The egregious nuclear deal with Iran which was negotiated during the Obama’ presidency has been a triumph of naive hope over experience (back in the days when we were still on speaking terms with Russia, Vladimir Putin described Obama as a child, French President Nicolas Sarkozy dismissed him as inexperienced and a British MP of the days said Obama's problem was that he thought himself President of The World.

With Biden’s increasingly frequent senior moments it seems plausible that Obama continues to pull the strings. If, as seems likely, that is the case none of the current kerfuffles  will end well for we citizens of the western nations.

THOUGHTS ON ISLAM IC MILITANCY

Yusuf al Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said:

'With your democratic laws we will colonise you; with our Quranic laws we will dominate you.'

Karl Popper said: "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

Islam is an Ideology, a collection of ideas and beliefs, not a race or ethnicity. Just because an ideology is based around conceptions of God or divine communication, does not make it any less an ideology; it does not receive some special dispensation making it impervious to criticism (indeed, it should receive extra scrutiny if that ideology claims precedence over political and legal structures, as Islam does).

Make no mistake, the ideology of Islam is the enemy of secular liberal democracy. Every society it infects becomes more violent, segregated, repressed, and ignorant.

It is easy to see, from any historical record, or any current metric regarding economic, cultural or social outcomes, that Islam is a cancerous ideology. It makes half the population (women) second class citizens (or outright property); it imposes a positive feedback loop of circular idiocy; a bland mono-culture of arbitrary chauvinistic rules backed with the threat of violence; it seems to be in constant conflict with every other ideology on the planet; it has the explicit goal of dominating and subverting all other societies and belief systems. Given free reign, it nearly always creeps towards some form of totalitarian Theocracy

Is America Heading For Civil War?
Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com In last week’s article I discussed the issue of American “balkanization” and the rapid migration of conservatives and moderates from large population centers and states that are becoming militant in their progressive ideology. In my home state of Montana there has been a surge of people trying to escape …

Biden the Democrats least hopeless hopeful? Or is he?
A senior U.S. Republican reportedly said recently that the most difficult ticket Donald Trump could face in the next election would be Joe Biden partnered by Elizabeth Warren. This was not, needless to say, because Biden was a brilliant debater or a lethal political adversary. “If he was any stupider, my you’d have to water him”, the anonymous Republican quipped.See also >>>

American Stupid: Hillary Clinton Says Male Leaders Scared of Greta Thunberg
It's coming up to election time again in the USA and sure enought some idiot over the pond has allowed a drop of blood to fall on the desiccated lips of Hillary Clinton and the leader of the Democratic Party undead faction has reanimated to ensure the debate, on the Democrat side at least, never risis above the level of stupid set in 2016 when Hillary famously lost to Donad Trump.

Hijab wearing, Jihad supporting U.S. Congresswoman refuses to condemn stoning of gays.
Ilhan Omar (with Bernie Sanders behind thinking "I wouldn't mind giving her a taste of my pork sausage) - picture credit www.thenation.com

It had to happen, and it was always going to be great comedy value when it did. U.S Liberals were always going to face the moment when their love of Gays, Lesbians and Trannies clashed head to head with their love of terrorists and the Islamic Jihad.

Sane Democrats See Little To Gain From Impeaching Trump, Fear It Will Backfire
In an opinion poll commissioned by Reuters a majority of US Democrat voters say they fear that the latest m,ove to impeach President Trump over the Biden-Ukraine scandal will backfire, giving him a boost into the 2020 US election.

US Aiding Massive Genocide in Yemen at Behest of Saudi Arabia
Civilians in Yemen are still in the grip of a major humanitarian crisis as Saudi Arabia's war on the impoverished republic continues unabated.

In Escalating War Of Words, Saudi Crown Prince Calls Iran’s Ayatollah “New Hitler Of The Middle East”
Saudi Arabia’s powerful, and controversial, 32-year-old Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as we warned earlier in the year when he was elevated to his currrent status, has in a few months has made more local (and foreign) enemies than most of his predecessors accumulated over a lifetime, appears to have decided he does not need to wait any longer for the final war that will cement the global supremacy of his particularly unpleasant brand of Islamic extremism.

UK Government Accused Of Covering Up Saudi Arabia Funding Of TerrorismA new report commissioned by David Cameron before he resigned as Prime minister has highlighted links between recent terror attacks in the UK and the funding of UK mosques by the extremist Wahhabi regime in Saudi Arabia, which "is heavily involved in exporting an illiberal, bigoted fundamentalist ideology." The report criticises Cameron's successor for "kowtowing" to Saudi Arabia's king by suppressing another government report into the funding of extremism in the UK.

White House Says It Will Fake "Chemical Weapon Attack" In Syria
The White House claims that the Syrian government is preparing "chemical weapon attacks". This is clearly not the case. Syria is winning the war against the country. Any such attack would clearly be to its disadvantage. The White House announcement must thereby be understood as preparation for another U.S. attack on Syria in "retaliation" for an upcoming staged "chemical weapon attack" ...

US Gov’t Proves Loyalty To ISIS And Saudi Arabia Bill To ‘Stop Arming Terrorists’ Gets Only 13 Supporters
In a rare outbreak of common sense, a bill barring the US Federal Government from giving money and weapons to child murdering terrorists like the head amputators, slave dealers and human organ noshers of ISIS and Al Nusra (Barack Obama's beloved 'moderate rebels',) garnered hardly any support from either the Democratic Perpetual War Party, or the Republican War Is Good Business Party.

Saudi Arabia Bids For Islamic Globalisation
soon after the suicide bomb at The Manchester Arena, I felt obliged to defriend someone on facebook, whom I have known online for around ten years. So what did this sweet lady, who writes books on medieval witchcraft and calls herself a pagan, do to piss me off? She showed herself to be a hypocrite by posting a whinge about people reacting with anger and 'hate' to this latest atrocity; "I'm all about compassion, I will not stand by and see Muslims victimised because of this." Oh yeah? And what about the dead and injured victimised by a muslim extremist?

We bring you the story from The Anti Media,

EU Enlargement Commissioner Accuses Russia Of Flooding Europe With Migrants
We have learned that The European Union’s (EU) Enlargement Commissioner has claimed Russia is working to destabilize the continent by flooding it with migrants from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.

ISIS: Know Your Enemy - Who Of Those We Think Are On Our Side Is Helping ISIS
Who is funding ISIS, how has the terror group managed to assemble such a large, well equipped and (apparently) well fed fighting force and been able to wage a two year war against the Assad regime in Syria, the forces of the autonomous Kurds and the army of the Iraqi government, such as it is? Who is facilitating their illegal oil trade that is keeping Islamic State afloat.

Russia's Surprise Withdrawal From Syria? "If We Don't Go Away, We Can't Come back Again.
There is no doubt that the withdrawal is not quite what it seems to be, but more likely a tactical move by the Russians. The Kremlin feels it has done enough to secure the regime of President Assad, the remnants of the Sunni Muslim Free Syrian Army are no longer capable of mounting a challenge and the Syrians, along with Shi'ite militias in Iraq and Kurdish irregulars, backed by Iranian Republic an Guard troops ought to be capable of dealing with ISIS

From The Bloated Big State A Mighty Trump Burst Forth
Many Americans cannot understand why so many apparently reasonable people support Donald Trump. To the irrational left he has become an even more potent hate symbol that Sarah Palin, to the right he is a maverick and a loudmouthed clown with a ridiulous haircut (perfect qualifications to be a rapper if only he was black.) But few intellectuals or members of the political elite or the medic circus can understand why people are supporting him.

Loud Trump Resonates Throughout America - Boggart Abroad
I don't know why the politically correct left are getting so worked up about The Trump, American politics is even more tightly controlled by big money than the European system, and the really big money (Golman Sachs, J P Morgan, Soros and company) are not going to let him win. It would upset thrir buddies in Saudi Arabia too much.

US Presidents Of The Past warned Against Secret, Shadow Government. By now it should be obvious that peacemake, joybringer and putative aquatic pedestrian Barack Hussein Obama was never really in charge of the US Government. Whatever Obama said would happen, all the American government's policies ensured the opposit would happen. The embedded article thows some light on how the US government really works

Teacher Forced To Resign For 'Sharing' Material Critical Of Obama And His Beloved Muslim Terrorists
The supporters of the wannabe King of the American Empire like to describe themselves as 'liberal', 'progressive', and left wing. If they were really any of those things they would not be as fanatically committed to the idea of suppressing free speech as they are.
