Here they go again-the war drums on the Potomac are beating so loudly for war against Iran that the CIA stenographers at the NYT have now confidently announced that the next attack will commence this weekend.
And yet and yet. Why?
The overwhelming fact of life in the year 2026 is that Iran is not remotely a military threat to the liberty and security of Americans.

Prior to the COVID-19 vaccines being released, many concerns were raised about these experimental gene therapies, including their potential for causing infertility, autoimmune diseases, and cancer (e.g., many of the theoretical autoimmune issues were summarized by Stefanie Seneff shortly after the vaccines hit the market).
So, when Pfizer's regulatory submission to Europe's FDA (the EMA) was leaked on December 9, 2020, I read through it in detail and discovered that Pfizer simply had been allowed to exempt itself from testing the vaccine for the above three key issues (despite that testing being required for gene therapies).

We have heard a lot about Virginia Giuffre, the poster girl of the Einstein sex-trafficking of under-age females. In 2009 Virginia Giuffre accepted $500,000 from Epstein to drop a lawsuit, the terms of which forbade claims against other "potential defendants."
Thirteen years later in 2022 Giuffre received an estimated $16 million from Prince Andrew in an out-of-court settlement in which he admitted to no wrong.

"Nations must unite in a world government or perish".
~ Charles de Gaulle
This is not a new concept, but one that has reached its pinnacle this century. The most defining moment of this evil collusive partnership of nations was exposed for all to see during the fake 'covid' hoax beginning in earnest in 2020. It was not the first time nor the last, but the curtain was pulled back and the government 'Oz' was fully undressed without apology; an open preview of the one world technocracy being structured as the new multi-technate order.

Mandatory holocaust and antisemitism courses become required in public schools

The Texas state education board recently has considered draft legislation that would create the nation's first-ever statewide K-12 required reading list for public schools. Inevitably, Jewish sourced material is prominent among the texts on the list, including Elie Wiesel's holocaust memoir "Night" and Anne Frank's Diary.
Too many influential voices are contemplating how to 'win' a nuclear war.

With all eyes on the U.S. military buildup around Iran right now, the Russia-Ukraine War has been temporarily upstaged. It will not play second fiddle for long. The recent trilateral talks in Geneva involving the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and the United States have been unable to resolve a principal issue of disagreement: Ukraine's martial-law-president Volodymyr Zelenskyy's refusal to cede any land and Russia's insistence that the Donbas region - specifically the four eastern territories that have already held a referendum in support of becoming part of the Russian Federation - be acknowledged as sovereign Russian territory.
Democratic Party leaders are doing nothing to oppose Trump's war plans for Iran because they support those plans. They just don't want to be the ones pulling the trigger.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the US has been gathering the most air power seen in the middle east since the Iraq invasion in 2003.
CNN says the US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend.
In Munich, the US announced its intent to crush all opposition to its permanent status as imperial top dog, even if that means destroying everything, and all of us, in the process

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference last weekend was another troubling declaration of intent by the Trump administration.
The explicit goal of US foreign policy, according to Rubio, is to resurrect the western colonial order that persisted for some five centuries until the Second World War.

On Fat Tuesday's episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks listeners through a simple but underappreciated truth: government subsidies distort prices and consumer behavior. He uses a recent push to limit what SNAP recipients can buy as a launching point to explain how subsidies raise costs across sectors - from junk food to college tuition to housing credit - and why those distortions contribute to policy-driven unaffordability.

On August 14, 2003, a cascading failure of the power grid plunged more than 50 million people into darkness in the northeast US and Canada. It was the most significant power outage ever in North America, with an economic impact north of ten billion dollars. Calamities like this don't happen in a bubble, and there were many human factors, political aspects, and organizational issues that contributed to the blackout.
Le climat d'impunité dont bénéficient les agents de l'ICE et d'autres services du département de la Sécurité intérieure (DHS) pour commettre des actes de violence et des meurtres dans des villes comme Minneapolis est tellement révoltant que de nombreux responsables des forces de l'ordre eux-mêmes dénoncent désormais cette situation.

Alors que de nombreux pays recourent occasionnellement à un "état d'exception" pour faire face à des crises temporaires, Israël vit dans un état d'exception permanent. Cet exceptionnalisme israélien est l'essence même de l'instabilité qui sévit au Moyen-Orient.
Le concept d'état d'exception remonte au justitium romain, un mécanisme juridique permettant de suspendre la loi en période de troubles civils.

En matière de politique étrangère, on considère que la stabilité intérieure est une condition essentielle au bon déroulement des relations avec les puissances étrangères. Lorsqu'un pays voit sa stabilité intérieure menacée, ou, plus gravement, lorsqu'il est en proie à des troubles socio-politiques et socioculturels, sa politique étrangère devient d'autant plus complexe et turbulente.

Le conseil de l'éducation de l'État du Texas a récemment examiné un projet de loi qui créerait la toute première liste de lectures obligatoires pour les écoles publiques de la maternelle à la terminale à l'échelle de l'État.
Inévitablement, les ouvrages d'auteurs juifs occupent une place prépondérante dans cette liste, notamment les Mémoires d'Elie Wiesel sur l'Holocauste, La Nuit, et Le Journal d'Anne Frank.
