Trump's bombing campaign in Iran just sinks U.s. into a deeper quagmire
Martin Jay
Nothing he says is taken seriously, as Tehran knows all along that Trump is always creating distractions.
The coming days and weeks will see Trump lower himself in the acid bath of what analysts call the 'escalation trap'. Many analysts comment that he has already fallen on his sword in the Iran war, as his fantasy of bringing Tehran to its knees - served up by Israel's PM Netanyahu - has proved to be the greatest deception in U.S.-Israeli relations since the birth of the entity in 1948.
Débasification... Un mot sophistiqué pour chasser les États-Unis du Moyen-Orient
par Larry Johnson
Téhéran a adressé début avril à Washington, via le Pakistan, une demande officielle de retrait des forces de combat américaines des bases militaires de la région. Il faisait partie d'un ensemble de mesures parallèles à la levée de toutes les sanctions et des résolutions de l'ONU, à la libération des avoirs iraniens détenus à l'étranger, aux réparations et au droit de l'Iran à l'enrichissement nucléaire.
Trump n'est pas un président de guerre réticent
par Caitlin Johnstone
La dernière guerre sans fin menée par les États-Unis continue de ravager le Moyen-Orient. Pour la dixième nuit consécutive, les forces américaines bombardent l'Iran. Selon le New York Times, ces échanges de tirs ont causé un nombre de blessés parmi les troupes américaines bien supérieur à celui reconnu par le Pentagone.
Le président Trump affirme que "chaque fois que l'Iran tue un soldat américain, il le paiera au centuple", tout en garantissant de nouvelles représailles iraniennes.
États-Unis : l'univers impitoyable du pétrole
par Henri Ramoneda
De 1932 à 1935, la vaste plaine du Chaco, supposée riche en pétrole, fut l'enjeu d'une guerre meurtrière entre la Bolivie et le Paraguay. La Bolivie fut soutenue dans son effort de guerre par les compagnies pétrolières étatsuniennes, désignées comme le cartel des sept sœurs, alors que le Paraguay fut armé par les compagnies pétrolières britanniques.
America's Imperial Wars, Then and Now

I recently drove to a gas station in Massachusetts to fill my tank with regular gas, the cheapest around, and, to my surprise, given what's going on, it was only $4.59 a gallon.
Okay, okay, I take back that "only" and admit it. It's not good to joke about the nightmare of gas prices these days. But in truth, that may indeed still prove to be the good news, since Donald Trump remains at war (or perhaps at chaos) with Iran, a country a mere 6,300 miles or so from Washington, D.C., and so crucial to American power on this distinctly overheating planet of ours (right?).

What we do know is that things have internal structures with dynamics that operate whether we "like" them or not.

"You can sell Americans on anything, no matter how wretchedly unsatisfactory it is, by labeling it as progress.
Trump Is Not a Reluctant War President
One of the dumbest popular narratives you see today is the idea that Zionists persuaded a reluctant Trump to start a war with Iran after he was re-elected, like they were chasing him around going "Would you like to bomb Iran?" like the guy from Green Eggs and Ham while he yelled "Not in a...

America's latest forever war continues to ravage the middle east as US forces bomb Iran for the tenth consecutive night in a series of exchanges which The New York Times reports have caused a significantly higher number of injuries to US troops than the Pentagon has acknowledged.
President Trump Rushes to the Protection of War Criminal Netanyahu

July 22, 2026
Mouthing the usual collection of Trump lies about the evil of Iran, Trump says the New York Mayor will not be allowed to arrest the indicted War Criminal Netanyahu when he lands in New York to give Trump Israel's latest orders. The American president shows pride in being Israel's puppet.
As both Trump and Biden enabled and financed the Palestinian Genocide, shouldn't both also be arrested ? Why only the Israeli War Criminal ? Why not also the two American presidents who made it possible ? Israel has no more Palestinian blood on its hands than do Biden and Trump.
Truth Under Assault

Flannery O'Connor, who had an admirable propensity for being honest, made the remark that "the truth will make you odd." She would not be surprised, if she were around today, to learn that a dubious student-led protest was sufficient for authorities to remove her name from one of the residence halls at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore. More than 80 scholars and authors signed a letter protesting the change.
Debasification... A Fancy Word for Booting the Us Out of the Middle East

Tehran delivered to Washington via Pakistan in early April, a formalized demand for the withdrawal of US combat forces from military bases across the region. It sat in a package alongside the lifting of all sanctions and UN resolutions, the release of Iranian assets held overseas, reparations, and Iran's right to nuclear enrichment.
Instead of waiting for the US to agree to the demand, Iran has launched targeted attacks during the past two weeks on key US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Longtime Vegas Resident Robert Barnes Discusses the Evolution of Las Vegas as the Rosetta Stone of Organized Crime
By Charles Burris

Las Vegas is the Rosetta Stone to understanding America's confluence between the State and organized crime. In their monumental book, The Money and the Power: The Making of Las Vegas and Its Hold on America, the brilliant husband and wife research team of Roger Morris and Sally Denton have authored a comprehensive synthesis detailing the historic nexus of organized crime syndicates, Wall Street, and the intelligence community.
Les États-Unis confrontés à une crise stratégique avec l'Iran... L'épuisement rapide des missiles de combat américains
par Larry Johnson
J'ai évoqué la diminution des stocks de plusieurs catégories de missiles de combat américains dans de récents podcasts et j'ai décidé de vous fournir les meilleures données disponibles afin de vous aider à saisir l'ampleur du problème. Les tableaux ci-dessous sont basés sur les analyses publiques les plus récentes du CSIS, du Payne Institute et des principaux médias (à la mi-2026) et présentent une estimation actuelle (à mon avis trop optimiste) des niveaux de stock américains de ces systèmes d'armes clés.
The 250th Anniversary of...what, Exactly ?
Trump's July 4 sparks counter-250 events
By Russell CONTRERAS, Delano MASSEY
The semiquincentennial is becoming a proxy battle over patriotism, belonging and whether the country's founding ideals should be celebrated as settled history or unfinished work.
The big picture: Civil rights groups, Latino leaders, Jewish and multifaith organizers, Asian American advocates and left-leaning civic groups are using the anniversary to highlight race, religion, immigration and democracy.
Affordability crisis becomes rare point of agreement in divided America
By Lauren PEARLE
In a deeply divided country, one issue is cutting through the noise: Americans increasingly agree that the affordability crisis is real and that it could get worse.
A new Guardian/Harris Poll released Tuesday found that 95% of Americans believe the country is suffering from an affordability crisis and that 57% believe the overall economy is getting worse, up from 46% who said the same in February.
