When deranged leaders invoke divine catastrophe as a political instrument, it is not only their enemies who are consumed. Unless they are stopped, we will all be victims of these two psychopaths.

Here is Donald Trump's Easter message to the world:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!! ! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH ! Praise be to Allah.

Britain former PM shows there's no price to be paid for engineering mass slaughter in the service of western empire. Which is why those crimes not only continue, but grow in scale

Tony Blair, the man who led Britain into a disastrous and illegal war on Iraq more than 20 years ago based on false information, is still very much a sought-after commentator in the UK media.

I know a lot of you won't want to hear this, and I get no pleasure in writing it, but we all should understand what happened over the last six weeks.

First, so you have no question about my views: the Iranian regime is an outlaw state, an antisemitic, anti-American theocracy. It brutalizes women. It guns down unarmed protestors. I have no sympathy for it.

A system that comes to depend on sythentic signaling for its "information" is doomed to Model Collapse, as its signaling has completely detached from the real world.

That we inhabit a post-truth world seems to accepted wisdom. But that's only half of it. We also live in a post-trust world. In a post-truth world, everything is shaped by the implicit goals of the entity claiming to state the "truth," as the entire point of claiming to state the "truth" is to persuade the target populace to agree to something favorable to the issuer of the claimed "truth."

Trump has announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran after previously threatening to exterminate their "entire civilization", citing "a 10 point proposal from Iran" as the reason for the climb-down.

Trump and his cronies are spinning this as a colossal victory for the United States and framing Tehran's 10-point plan as a major capitulation to the president's threats.

The "war crime" outcry is simply another collaboration between America's enemies, the media, and the Democrat Party.

Over the last couple of days, we've been hearing that, once the Dems take the midterms, they'll immediately start preparations to try Donald Trump for war crimes in Iran. The loudest voice here - as is usually the case - is James Carville (actually, what he said was more like "We gone git that-theah Donal' Trump for woah crimes roun' heah."), but he  youtube .

Informant's Note

There are places you are not officially told about, yet you eventually understand exist because too many small details refuse to align with the public version of reality. No one sits you down to explain them. No document clearly states their purpose. Instead, they reveal themselves gradually-through inconsistencies, logistical anomalies, and moments that feel insignificant until you place them side by side.

The Approaching Collapse of the Global Food System and the Quiet Beginning of a Hunger Crisis No One Is Ready to Face

In the current global climate, discussions surrounding food security are often framed in reassuring, technical language-phrases like "temporary disruption," "market correction," or "supply chain adjustment" dominate public discourse. Yet, beneath this carefully moderated vocabulary, a more unsettling reality is taking shape.

We believe, as Christians, that human history is not just a series of meaningless, random events; rather, we are part of a Larger Story. So, are we in the End ?

t used to be that apocalyptic talk was relegated to the fringes of society. But a recent study indicates that about a third of Americans believe we're living in the End Times. In March, Putin's Kremlin announced that we were in the Last Days, with the current war simmering in the Middle East; and Peter Theil, from Palantir, has been holding a series of discussions about the Antichrist.

"A whole civilization will die tonight." - Donald J. Trump

This article could end here, but the sense of duty that drives us to report on world events compels us to describe in detail the scenario that is about to unfold.

Where Donald Trump, President of the United States of America, facing an epochal defeat, has threatened to destroy the millennia-old Iranian civilization-please forget the Nobel Peace Prize laureates and the billionaire boards sipping cocktails while genocides unfold.

Nel complesso panorama storico-culturale del Jabal al-Alsun ("la montagna delle lingue", espressione con la quale le fonti arabe medievali definivano il Caucaso) la Cecenia ricopre sicuramente un ruolo di primo piano. Di fatto, sin dall'inizio della penetrazione militare russa nell'area caucasica (primi decenni del XVIII secolo) al preciso scopo di controllare i flussi commerciali da e verso l'Asia Centrale, questo istmo tra l'Europa e l'Asia ha assunto per il destino di Mosca una centralità geopolitica tale che si potrebbe affermare (senza timore di venire smentiti) che parte dell'odierna identità russa si è formata dall'incontro/scontro con le sue popolazioni e che si è addirittura "riformata" a seguito dei conflitti ceceni a cavallo tra la fine del XX e l'inizio del XXI secolo.

C'est toujours de civilisation dont il s'agit.

"Ce soir, une civilisation entière va périr pour ne jamais renaître". L'histoire retiendra cet énoncé d'un oeil aussi implacable que le soleil. Une approche barbare étonnante, gracieusement diffusée par le président des États-Unis via un message sur les réseaux sociaux.

En résumé, la "civilisation" concernée a légué au monde le Big Mac, tandis qu'elle menaçait d'anéantir une civilisation ancienne à l'origine de l'algèbre, qui a influencé l'art, les sciences et la pensée politique de manière inégalée, vu naître des personnalités telles que Cyrus le Grand, Avicenne, Omar Khayyam et l'illustre poète Jalaladdin Rumi, conçu des jardins sublimes, des tapis, des merveilles architecturales et des théories philosophiques et éthiques.

Des membres du Congrès exigent des conséquences pour des responsables au sein de l'équipe de la Maison Blanche en lien avec la guerre au Moyen-Orient.

Une proposition de loi a été déposée à la Chambre des représentants du Congrès américain visant à destituer de ses fonctions le secrétaire à la Guerre Pete Hegseth. On lui reproche ses agissements au cours de la guerre contre l'Iran.
