All true and accurate. At the same time, Iran and the Axis of Resistance, backed by Russia, China, and now North Korea, are not idle. They have been preparing for this moment for decades, when the Empire shatters on the rock of its own greed, lies, and hubris. Stay tuned.

Excellent synopsis. I'm not picking up what The Blob is laying down; I have long believed the 3-letter agencies et al are behind the plots against Trump & trying to frame our historical enemies. It's a crazy day when you find yourself feeling almost sorry for Iran.

I remember watching the Ayatollah Khomeini on telly as a kid. How we laughed when he called the US "The Great Satan".

Well.

This does not mean I am a shi'ite. It means the Ayatollah had a point, and that his redemption arc shows more about the claims of the Free World than the wider merits of his system.

That said, I do agree Iran has been extraordinarily restrained in the face of sustained Israeli outrages, and that it is a sign of the times that the so-called mad mullahs are the sane ones in this situation.

I think we should learn to accept difference, work towards balance, and that this can be done with a change of political strategy (from insanity towards the alternative).

Well, I hear people repeat often over the years that this group of people “the American democracy“ has lost all their wars, but they win either way they still pocket all the money laundering scheme, and the politicians win, win every time and a lot of people are killed it’s almost ritualistic?

A question but first a summary.

The survival of Israel is the prime excuse, justification for the forever war/rules based order fantasia which “the liberal elite depend on for their livelihood “. (That is your quote from a previous post - which I wrote down.) This explains why building a narrative that it is Iran that is trying to kill Trump is useful; should they (the deep state not Iran) actually kill the guy, us deplorables will happily support the destruction of Iran.

That was unclear to me, I was suspicious but flummoxed, but now, our goodly author has convinced me, and I think he is unquestionably right.

Now for my question : “turbo charge immigration from the Middle East”, why. That bit seems incongruous. A boatload of Muslims in the west will make it harder for the Israel lobby to win public opinion.

This is counter productive to the main narrative - Israel is the only modern moral democratic state in the region - if we don’t support them we are next. So, ipso facto, if the Iranians killed Trump, red America will join the neocon warmongering - let’s nuke’em will ring out all throughout flyover country.

Turbo charged Muslim immigration to the west makes no sense.

Sure, the broad-based generic attempt to demoralize us through mass immigration but why muslims? Better to hold them back as the other; Virtuous Jews oppressed by mad Muslims.

What do I think of this mess? It’s insane, and a change would be most welcome. It does not make sense from the sensible point of view.

Immigration has been "turbo-charged" into the West. The regime change wars drove millions into Europe from Syria, Iraq, and from Africa through Libya. So that has been happening, and governments have done nothing to stop it - and everything to enable it. Criticism is suppressed etc., as is news of resulting crime.

What is the strategic effect? A permanent state of emergency in the West. If you happen to find this useful to your worldview, it is also helpful to bracket Israel's "Self defence" with UK and European terror and crime resulting from migration.

Mass migration is not an accident. It is enabled by state actions, at both ends of the pipeline. Why are they doing this? I do not think our leaders are acting in our best interests.

I think regime change is the project at home as much as abroad, if not more so.

Woopsie, simple, makes sense, I missed that. Muslim immigration wreaks havoc in our cities, further proof of them being barbaric and that Israel is a bastion of democracy and reasonable adherents to the rules based order. Yup.

Also us red state types are inherently bigoted. We do hate them because they aren’t like us (naturally) and besides it is true they shouldn’t be in our country. The elite despise us with some justification.

I really don’t like human beings .

Please explain what is moral or democratic about Israel.

If they wanted him dead he'd be dead already. Trump got his start with Kosher Nostra and has worked for them since. It's very obvious what's going on here.

“Kosher nostra” 😂

I don’t know. I think they’ve had a shot. I think there might be another. He seems to mean what he says about the wars, and a lot of money has moved behind that.

His campaign is funded by zionists and DOD contractors. He is the Iran war candidate.

I am one of the few people in the West (iirc) who have documented that Trump's faction have received half a billion dollars from the Adelsons. There is some nuance here between the late Sheldon and Miriam, who is a far more committed Zionist than her late husband.

Yes, more money than is often reported. How much has it bought? I think there is a fair chance the alliance with Israel will be reappraised, as Vance suggested in his RS speech over the summer.

Money or not, Israel's reputation is in the gutter and it is dragging the US down with it. Something has to change. I don't think Trump is all in for war. I might be wrong.

One question I wanted your comment on: the mullahs have publicly stated that when they develop a nuke, the first thing they would do is load it up in truck and set it off in Jerusalem. This would certainly destabilize the entire region catastrophically.

Well it seems likely they have already developed a nuke, if the rumours are true. Did they say this? Pretty spicy if so.

Are there mad people in Iran? Probably. I don't see any evidence of hotheads in charge there, though they have now signalled their patience is at an end. I think that is understandable.

Who started the nuclear arms race in the Middle East? Kennedy wanted to stop that. Look what happened to him.
