The American Game: Playing and Being Played on the Road to Nuclear War

Edward Curtin

“To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It’s irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober.”
Eugene O’Neill, The Iceman Cometh

There is a good chance that very shortly the United States will overtly join its proxy Israel in attacking Iran. Only a fool would be surprised. Plausible deniability only goes so far. Pipe dreams perdure as the nuclear war that could never happen gets closer to happening.

That Donald Trump is a diabolic liar and his administration is composed of depraved war criminals is a fact.

That those who bought his no foreign wars bullshit were deluded is a fact.

That Trump fully supports the genocidal lunatic Netanyahu is a fact.

That the U.S.A. is already supporting Israel’s unprovoked war on Iran is a fact.

That the American electorate is always fooled by the linguistic mind control of its presidents is a fact.

“Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun, that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud,” George W. Bush said at a staged pseudo-event on October 7, 2002 as he set Americans up for the invasion of Iraq in March 2003.  It was all predictable, blatant deception.  And the media played along with such an absurdity.  Iraq obviously had no nuclear weapons or the slightest capability to deliver even a firecracker on the U.S. The same is true for Iran today.

Trump is, after all, a United States President. The job’s requirements insist that he be a war criminal at the head of a terrorist state, and that he support the apartheid state of Israel’s killing regime, as the United States has done since its founding – actually long before.

The CIA and its ilk provide the shifting propaganda narratives that take many forms: smooth, blustery, halting, etc., but they are all aimed at creating two minds in the American population by sending mixed messages (a Trump specialty), creating mental double-binds, and using various techniques to mystify people’s experience of reality and truth.

The CIA always liked to attract literary types to its propaganda efforts. Their objective is to create through verbal contradictory word usage a sense of schizoid confusion in the population. To provide pipe dreams for those who feel that their politician will set things right next time around. Or to provide ex post facto justifications for the last president’s innocence.

Think of the bullshit media headlines such as “Trump is weighing his options” or “Trump weighing Involvement” about attacking Iran.  As I wrote about Trump and Iran in June 2019 – The War Hoax Redux – in a repeat of what I wrote about Bush and Iraq in February 2003 by simply substituting names:

As in 1991 and 2003 concerning Iraq, the MSM play along with Trump, who repeatedly says, or has his spokespeople say, that the decision hasn’t been made [to attack Iran] and that the U.S. wants peace. Within a few hours this is contradicted and confusion and uncertainty reign, as planned. Chaos is the name of the game. But everyone in the know knows the decision to attack has been made at some level, especially once the propaganda dummies are all in place. But they pretend, while the media wait with baited breath as they anticipate their countdown to the dramatic moment when they report the incident that will “compel” the U.S. to attack.

Now that Biden has made sure a terrorist runs Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon is rendered weak, allowing Israel full control over their air spaces, and Gaza pulverized with genocide well underway, the pieces are in place for Trump to bomb Iran.

Commentators often blame the actions – like Trump’s vis-à-vis Iran – on pressure from the so-called “deep state.” Excuses abound. But there is no deep state. The official American government is the “deep state.” The use of the term is a prime example of the efficacy of linguistic mind control. The use of words that have contradictory meanings – contronyms – to create untenable double-binds that result in mental checkmate. Create false opposites to frame the mind control.

Innocence – give a sardonic laugh! These are the men who have waged endless wars, overt and covert, for decade upon decade, have dispatched special forces and CIA death squads throughout the world, and support genocide in Gaza and the destruction of Russia as their bosses require. Those who seek the office know this. Only those who are known to pledge allegiance to American imperialism and the love of war are allowed anywhere near the U.S. presidency. The present war on Iran has been long in the making, as has the destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Russia, China, etc.

These bloodthirsty hyenas with polished faces come in all varieties, from Slick Willy to Dumb Georgie to Smiling Barack to Gross Don to Malarkey Joe and around and around we go again and again. Each is cast to perform the script – to speak the lingo – appropriate to his actor’s ability and his looks (let’s not forget this), but to serve the same ends. If it were not so, the U.S. would have stopped waging non-stop wars long ago. It’s simple to understand if one retains a smidgeon of logic.

If you think otherwise, you are deluded. I will not waste much time explaining why. The historical facts confirm it.

The U.S.A. is a warfare state; it’s as simple as that.  Without waging wars, the U.S. economy, as presently constituted, would collapse.  It is an economy based on fantasy and fake money with a national debt over 36 trillion dollars that will never be repaid.  That’s another illusion.  But I am speaking of pipe dreams, am I not?

And whether they choose to be aware of it or not, the vast majority of Americans support this killing machine by their indifference and ignorance of its ramifications throughout the society and more importantly, its effects in death and destruction on the rest of the world.  But that’s how it goes as their focus is on the masked faces that face each other on the electoral stage of the masquerade ball every four years. Liars all.

But they all speak the double-speak that creates pipe-dreams on the road to nuclear war.

Will we ever stop believing them before it is too late?

  • No mention of Hormuz, in article or comments
  • No mention of Israel’s ports (which are its weak points, they could easily be destroyed by Iran)

In conclusion, both the author and the commentators show the naivite of kindergartners.

So let me be the first to say it:
Iran-Israel just like Russia-Ukr is kabuki theatre.
Deaths could be real but that does not change the fact that the leaders of supposedly enemy countries collaborate to create a big show for TV but make sure there is no economic disruption for the oligarchs.

Again, what’s happening here? Are all of you this naive? Has nobody ever read 1984?

My pet theory is that most people (here and everywhere) are programmable meat robots, living in the eternal present, unable to remember or understand the past.

So is any human left to talk to?

But here’s where the plot thickens, as they say in the better sort of detective novel. The Bank for International Settlements—that curious institution that most people have never heard of but which quietly orchestrates the symphony of global finance—has issued warnings about the very policies our shoe-shining President champions. They speak of “risks to economies” and “central bank policy uncertainties” with the sort of measured concern that suggests they are watching a child play with matches in a powder magazine 1 .

The “magic Persian carpet of bombing” becomes a perfect metaphor for this struggle. A carpet, after all, is woven from many threads but remains one piece of cloth. The bombing isn’t designed to create multipolarity or destroy unipolarity – it’s designed to determine which pattern will dominate the weave.
Here’s where things become genuinely novel, and rather terrifying. The modern innovation isn’t the end of bipolarity – that was always theatrical. The innovation is what I call the “winner stays on” model of elite competition within the established monetary framework. It’s as if the house has decided that instead of multiple card tables, there will be one table, and whoever wins the hand gets to decide not just the stakes, but how everyone else is allowed to spend their chips.

Your opening quote is the basic nature of the perspective I invite or offer to join in – as free association.
But the war-minded have no interest in freedom or truth as the undoing of lies – for they are boosted and vindicated by the ‘weaponisation of truth (all that is true) to serve the purpose to which they abnegate a living will for the illusion of power – made real in the mind of struggle within its frame.

But if I were to look for the patterns in our world of effects to sketch the boundary breaking of a disembodied gain of possession and control – I would address the nature of the parasite – not assign it to the hosts.

Public usurp by faceless and unaccountable Private Banking operates plunder and overwhelming financial leverage. No less so the ‘banksterism’ of marketised and weaponised ‘knowledge’.
But the parasitic development is inversely related to the abnegation and undermining of the Will – (Use with a capital to denote integral will – not the false derivative of conditioned identity).

The corruption of the true word and witness sets a masking ‘insider’ mind that withholds or withdraws from love (relational being) BY substitution of the wish, mimic or appearances of what becomes the ‘socially accepted mask of sympathy & concern’. The Woke masks over the cracks.

Assigning Cause sets focus or priority of value.
There is no true Cause for a world fruited from lies. Follow them all if you must! And you shall weep each time an idol falls.
Blame is the game and thus strategy for scaping conflict-consequence away from the self that such masking control ‘saves’.
Guilt sets War on God as our true Cause – not as a process of recognition and release or correction of error – but as power of death over life.

Death is given negative worship by the mind that invokes and thinks to wield it as a means to manipulate the mind of Meaning shared. But what has no true belonging in you will make you a stranger to yourself – whom you must now fear as threat of loss of the self you made (in error).

Loving vengeance seems to be natural because we ‘get rid of’ bad feelings, as a hit of temporary release and relief. Lather rinse and repeat as death tills your part.

Remember when the overwhelming majority of humanity (at least the majority of those in the “west”) refused to shake hands, and switched to a concocted performative ritual instantly and without batting an eyelid and without explanation?

Nothing, absolutely nothing within mankind is going to change it’s course to a positive outcome in a “democratic” bottom up manner, let alone through mass “awareness” avert increasing misery of a perfecting slave system.

There will never be a “nuclear” war.

And all that’s happening is the old guard who reacted with horror at the lockdown era are being waiting out while the obtuse majority reassert the pretence of reasonableness and facilitate the persistence of the mainstream narrative.

A narrative which no longer needs to assert the lies of the lockdowns because that version of reality has been fully internalised.

The future belongs to the mainstream.

You mean Trump as a legitimate political entity, separate of democrats? Okay, so say: were Biden and the Democrats (who in your version are a separate legitimate political force) better off, and are? (The whole leftist ridiculous “anti-capitalist, anti-fascist” mainstream pseudo-press, which is the propaganda funnel of the leftist theatrical structure of real power, which is also and behind the right, says Yes, so you have to say it too. Oh, but you already said it.)

In this regard, would you list the things that were better in the time of Democrats?

For example, the brutal push for lgbТ diversity, including the education of young children that the biological sex is a social construct, that they can choose their “gender”, that homosexuality is normal (and they can be, and it is even good and highly recommended that they find out early on whether they are gay or with gender in the wrong body; and they can start drinking gender transition blockers; and so on).
That was far better with Biden and the Democrats, wasn’t it? (Which you think are real, separate from Trump, political entities and opponents of Trump.
IMO, they are not; but, as in the theater, the protagonists and antagonists play different roles and perform different, opposite to each other actions, which leads to a certain development of the action, and here, the two controlled-opposition forces perform two opposite programs to each other – which is not without purpose.)

Vaccine mandates were better than no mandates, right? (I wonder what it looks like to the average person down there, because it was addressed to him. Did he not think, quite rightly, that it is better not to have mandates for vaccines, which was the position of the conservatives. Is that why it was done? Are the fruits of this harvested now? It is best if they had not made the pLandemic at all – at the bottom of which was Trump, he announced a pandemic, he launched Warpespeed, he signed the documents that allow different states to choose whether or not to introduce mandates, and accordingly conservative states more often chose not to introduce. So, I wonder, which of the two bad forces looks better in the eyes of ordinary Joe?)

But, of course, almost all of these leftist anti-capitalist anti-fascist websites and organizations (some of which you read, and all of which now keep talking about genocide, genocide, Zionists, Zionists), say there was a pandemic, terrible and deadly, and vaccines save lives, and they accuse Trump of being “skeptical at first” by “delaying the response to the pandemic” and so on, as well as they accusing the dirty big capitalists of the pharmmafia of not providing live-saving covid vaccines to the whole world, to the poor..
The same accuse Trump of brutally violating human rights by stopping some programs and stopping funding for diversity, so he is a transphobic and homophobic monster.

And with regard to the immigrants in the United States? Was it better for ordinary Americans under Biden and the Democrats?

“It depends on which side you’re on.” Of course. On the one hand, which is your country (although you are not in the US), it was better. And the same ones – I mean the ordinary people below, who are suffering the consequences of the policies really conducted by the controlled opposition – are now dissatisfied. And the others are happy. Because the two parties, controlled by one force, perform different and opposite to each other real programs. Not without purpose. (Undoubtedly, one of the two groups of ordinary people affected by the programs is more important for real power. The question is which one?)

But what am I talk you?! You are – let’s bear the waves of preferred propaganda and throw fire to the chosen villains. We can let selected favorite authors reason for us and we can only read.
Let the party continue.

The idea of a “limited” nuclear war is absurd. Anyone who has read Daniel Ellsberg’s book, Doomsday Machine, understands this. In the days of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) the case was clear that ANY release of a nuclear warhead, from ANY country, for ANY reason (either intentional or a mistake) would result in total nuclear war. It is like dominoes, once the first nuke is engaged the rest naturally follow. And unlike in the film, Dr. Strangelove, there is no red phone that a president can use to call off Armageddon. Things happen too fast with the advent of computers. It is all automated. It is predicated on the idea of the first strike. Strike first or there is no chance. But, of course, MAD is based on the idea that it does not matter. A first strike only delays the inevitable. Death by nuclear winter. The destruction of the planet’s ecosystem. Those that think that the “elite” have underground cities that they will crawl into when the big one happens are deluded. Not that such structures don’t exist but the idea that they will be used for this purpose is unsound. The earth would be uninhabitable for decades, if not centuries. No one wants to live in a hole in the ground for the rest of their lives. And even if they could, there is the support framework to consider, which the “elite” would need to sustain and maintain for their underground prison to function for who-knows-how-long. It would involve untold numbers of specialists and “dirty work” laborers to maintain water, sewer, technical and social aspects of such an underground fortress. One miscalculation would result in total failure. So, the “elites” do not want MAD. The point to this diatribe is that IF a limited exchange happens between Israel and Iran, or ANY entities, that does not result in MAD, you can be sure it is the huge limited hangout, psyop, bullshit. Even bigger than the plandemic. But psychopaths would never do THAT, right?

Salena Zito is a wonderful writer and happens to be an expert on the heartland, has spent years driving herself through small towns especially in Pennsylvania and writing about the people there. The Don is the last person who should benefit from her talents, but on the other hand, perhaps she’ll make a bit of money from it.

Thank you for your mature and intelligent interaction, Susan. (Not like that rude and hooligan online kangaroo above us, Johnny.)

I’m not familiar with Selena’s work, but I trust your high appreciation.

The Don is the last person who should benefit from her talents, but on the other hand, perhaps she’ll make a bit of money from it.

It seems that she does not mind, through his talent, which you testify, to spiritualize and perpetuate the supposed authenticity of this infamous ketchup performance, an insult to the good taste of any self-respecting conspirologist. Even more – as evidenced by her own words on her website – she seems to be putting not only her talent but also her heart and soul.

“It was the hand of God”
“Had the president not turned to face the chart the world would be very different today…”

There will never be another one like him (She shares an article from the Washington examiner)

There will never be another candidate for president of the United States like Trump.

For his detractors, that is a relief. However, they should understand that whether Trump wins or loses, these voters are here to stay. They have seen what the power of the cultural curators in our country, in academia, media, Hollywood, institutions, and corporations, and in the bureaucracies has done to their lives, and they have rejected it.

(Here’s part of the secret of how the magic happens: regardless of whether the Democrats are, along with the Republicans, one subordinate part of the controlled-opposition pseudo-duopoly, or are the political fruit of a truly separate force, they are carrying out a real political agenda to which the people below are subjected. And this program is ridiculously nightmarish, as from a film dystopia (biological sex and gender, trans, race, immigrants, cancel culture… to mention just a few). And people react. What do Donald and the Republicans look like against this background? Are they salvation?)

There are moments that define America, this was one of them

My Decade with Donald Trump

The manila envelope was stamped: From the Office of President-Elect Donald Trump.

It arrived with a knock on my front door, a couple of days before Christmas.

Inside was a scarlet-red holiday card signed in gold ink, from Melania, Barron, and Donald J. Trump. Enclosed was a page torn out of the New York Post, an article about Trump’s message of unity during his winning campaign. An arrow, drawn in fat black marker, pointed toward three paragraphs in the piece, which referenced the themes of my reporting, and my (misspelled) name was written next to it in all-caps: SELENA ZETO.

comment image

And so on… She does not seem to resist much the fact that her talent is being used for these purposes.

(I’m sure the money is/will be good. Is there still another book about the “attempted murder”? Maybe, but with interviews with Donald and endorsed and promoted by Donald? I don’t think so. I, being from a former socialist country, can say that such an activity here was called Partizdat – that is, Party Edition. In the beginning, in the “liberation from fascism” (which never existed in my country, but still the communists liberated us from it) and the advent of the light time of communism, there were many such pseudo-biographies detailing the non-existent heroism of the communist luminaries in the dark (and non-existent) fascist times during the tsarism. But instead of writing that these luminaries were hiding in forests and mountains and regularly descended to nearby villages to rob agricultural produce from the people, and sometimes rape girls (they are men on a lonely mission in the mountains after all), waiting for a signal from the big Bolshevik brothers outside, only heroic things were written. And so on, you get the idea… Everything is a partizdat – and the biographies of the good Biden, the plandemic press is a good example, the mainstream is a partizdat in general, but he is left, but the large part of the conservative press is also a partizdat. Nice stuff.)

attention citizens!

as of next week, and until further notice, the greeting “hello” has been cancelled

in its place, the locution “Israel has the right to defend itself” is invariably to be used

for “hi”, the short form “Israel’s right!” is also allowed

“oi” will still be acceptable, provided it is immediately followed by the word “vey”

the interchangeable parting salutations “Ukraine never strikes civilian targets” or “Russia can’t be allowed to win” remain in effect

those deviating from these guidelines may expect severe penalties from the Mincery of Truth

Excellent.

No concerns at all if the wording of my addition to the necessary salutations is awkward in any way and can be edited in a more catchy manner.

This here Beyond the Rothschilds – Who Really Rules the World? seems to point in the same direction as to who rules the world which the ancient clay tablet writings document and about which Zecharia Sitchin wrote, namely that earth was visited by an alien race who created us via genetic manipulation and cross breeding, and who, for whatever reasons, were caught here on earth. This is the not-quite, if-at-all-human lineage who rule the world’s human population, and always have. Perhaps their own sense of lacking empathy is why they continue to strive towards killing off our messy humanness with their transhumanist tech or go for total obliteration.
The video also says that the Jews en masse have been manipulated and exploited for their, the Zionists’ – the descendants of this ancient race – own devilish plans.

I personally prefer the more grandiose story of Robert Morning Sky, who claims to have written it 10 years before Sitchin and even, if I remember well, at one time claimed that Sitchin had read the work and plagiarized it – HAA! : ) It’s not known if it’s true (but it’s known that they often do), but it’s clear that it worked well for advertising.

What about the weapons of mass destruction…
Iraq none
Libya none
Syria none
Yemen none
Iran none
Gaza none
America yes
Israel yes

America and Israel are not defenders of peace — they are destroyers of nations.

They bomb schools, churches, hospitals, and markets. They reduce cities to ash. They make life unlivable.
They kill civilians — in the millions — and call it freedom.

ISRAEL — From the Nakba to Gaza

1. Nakba – 1948
🔸 750,000+ Palestinians ethnically cleansed
🔸 500+ villages destroyed
🔸 Entire families massacred — Deir Yassin, Lydda, Tantura

2. Sabra & Shatila Massacre – 1982 (with U.S.-armed militias)
🔸 2,000+ civilians slaughtered in refugee camps under Israeli watch

3. Lebanon War – 2006
🔸 Israeli bombing killed over 1,000 civilians
🔸 Entire Beirut suburbs flattened

4. Gaza 2008–09 (Operation Cast Lead)
🔸 1,417 civilians killed, 5,300 injured

5. Gaza 2014 (Protective Edge)
🔸 13 children killed on the beach
🔸 2,251 Palestinians killed — 65% were civilians

6. Gaza 2021 (Wehda Street Massacre)
🔸 44 civilians crushed under homes

7. Gaza 2023–25
🔸 Jabalia Refugee Camp bombed: 195 killed
🔸 Al-Mawasi “Safe Zone” bombed: 90+ killed, 300 injured
🔸 56,000+ civilians dead — many children

“They will not spare even the pregnant woman or the nursing child.” – Hosea 13:16

UNITED STATES — From Fire to Fallout

1. Hiroshima & Nagasaki (1945)
🔸 ~200,000 civilians incinerated or slowly radiated to death

2. WWII Firebombing
🔸 67 Japanese cities destroyed
🔸 Tokyo alone: 100,000 civilians burned alive in one night

3. Korean War (1950–53)
🔸 1–2 million civilians killed
🔸 “Every city, village and structure in North Korea was bombed”

4. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos (1960s–70s)
🔸 150,000+ Cambodians killed
🔸 Laos: 2 million tons of bombs
🔸 Children still killed today by unexploded U.S. ordnance

5. Gulf War (1991)
🔸 ~3,500 killed directly
🔸 111,000+ die from destroyed water, power, hospitals

6. Iraq Invasion (2003+)
🔸 300,000+ civilians dead
🔸 Entire cities leveled: Fallujah, Mosul, Baghdad

7. Ongoing Drone Wars
🔸 Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia: thousands of “collateral” civilian deaths
🔸 Collateral Murder (Baghdad, 2007): Journalists and civilians gunned down by laughing U.S. pilots

“the genocidal lunatic Netanyahu”

Bibi is clearly a man who provokes strong opinions, but it is the job of writers not to tell their audience what to think. The art of writing well is to paint a picture that enables the reader to formulate their own opinion. If you are confident that your point of view is correct and you can assemble evidence to support that, then you do not need to hit people over the head.

Curtin always fails in his writing because nobody ever completes any of his articles. I got as far as “the genocidal lunatic Netanyahu” and stopped.

Aren’t we allowed an emotional outburst when it is about life and death? Both in writing but also in speak??

If the outburst is 100% justified I think we are allowed to be emotional and personal.

With regard to the said mister, he is an old theme and have been along for a long time enough for us to know what we factually can expect.

You stopped at the wrong point and at the wrong man. I stopped already when I read the
That Donald Trump is a diabolic liar and his administration is composed of depraved war criminals is a fact.”
When I compare “his administration” to the foregoing I dont think Mr. Curtin is right, and especially I am sure it is not a fact.

Is RFK Jr a depraved war criminal? Is Tulsi Gabbard a depraved war criminal? Is Vice President Vance a depraved war criminal? etc. No!

But we allow Mr. Curtin this outburst because its a serious situation for all of us, and at least I agree in Mr. Curtin’s final conclusion. ‘They all lie, maybe mostly for themselves, in their stupid pipe dreams’.

I believe this is an explanation probably justified for your many thumbs down too. I am as pessed as Mr. Curtin.

Hanford was built because only a nuclear reactor can produce fissionable fuel for nuclear bombs. The film from 40’s and 50’s tests couldn’t be faked back then. I had a friend that worked in a medical facility handling nuclear material where they all had to wear lead underwear purchased from a catalog. The documentation of all of the evidence of nuclear development by the Germans, US and Russia cannot be faked. The results on the ground cannot be faked. If nukes weren’t used to boil water for AI and Cloud data centers, why wouldn’t THEY be using existing facilities and methods. There’s way to much undeniable proof and universal behavior by the world’s PTB. The LOCKDOWN seemed universal because anybody not going along was totally ignored by media. Reminds me of Flat Earthers. Just go to a high mountain with 360° view during a part cloudy day and observe the very slight curve defining our spherical planet.

“the vast majority of Americans support this killing machine by their indifference and ignorance of its ramifications throughout the society and more importantly, its effects in death and destruction on the rest of the world.”

I would add that the vast majority of Americans support it because they vote for it, probably moreso than their indifference and ignorance. Plenty of people are not (completely) indifferent or ignorant, but they still vote for it. It’s always like, “well, maybe this time will be different”. It’s like the Trump cult now and the division happening because of Trump’s zionist lap dance. Many are anguished, (anguished I tell ya) that Trump is supporting “another middle east war”. They know the deal from the other ones, somewhat, but thought for sure Trump wasn’t lying when he told them he would be the “peace” president. Now they’re so surprised and disappointed of who they voted for. Dumb shits.

Trump summed up our thinking a day or so by stating that the Iranians should just “Unconditionally Surrender”. In other words, our military might is such that any adversary has no choice but to bow before it. This flies in the face of reality, both our history of getting bogged down in drawn out wars that are never ‘won’ and our experience in Ukraine where wonder weapon after wonder weapon — all ‘game changers’ — have failed to do anything much except add to a already large pile of scrap.

Iranians aren’t dumb. They know exactly what we would attack, they know what weapons we have to make such an attack and they know all the logistical hurdles we’d have to overcome to do this. I’m quite sure our military realizes this as well. Politicians and armchair warriors, not so much — they never seem to be able to think through the long term implications of their actions (which is why we get mired in situations we can neither win nor escape from). To anyone with half a brain this obvious trap has but one purpose, to finally demonstrate to the world that US (and by extension) Israeli military power is not absolute, it really only works on subject populations and weak countries that can’t effectively fight back. So a successful attack on Iran will achieve little except further justify their political position. A failed attack on Iran would signal the implosion of what’s left of US economic and military power. Its a hell of a gamble.

Desperate people act irrationally, At this point the only thing left would be nuclear weapons. This mandates a response and will likely spell the end of Israel as a state because nobody in the region — friend or foe — would feel safe from them. Israel just too small. Unfortunately their culture has a historical track record of overplaying their hand, annoying everyone around them and finding themselves scattered to the four corners of the Earth. It might be because everyone just dislikes them, but then it could be because they’re a damned nuisance and a danger to anyone who lives near them.

BRICS countries are planning on cancelling USA’s credit card and dollar printing. To do this they need to bypass Western maritime dominance, especially shipping oil out of the Middle East to China. Enter the new Silk Road to Tehran.
 
This modern Silk Road involves rail and highway corridors connecting China to Iran, creating a strategic logistical network bypassing maritime routes dominated by Western powers.
 
The new Silk Road represents a shift from maritime dependency to secure land-based cargo, challenging U.S. influence in Eurasia and promoting a multi-polar trade network.
 
For China, it advances global infrastructure dominance; for Iran, it offers economic survival and geopolitical leverage. For USA it represents an end to the petrodollar.
 
To continue U.S. money printing, Russia, Iran, and China must be stopped. U.S. Policy papers dating back 30 years or more recognized this. When Iraq announced it was selling oil in other currencies, it was taken out in days. When Libya announced it was selling oil in other currencies, its regime was taken out in days.
 
If China can get its oil overland and send its products to Europe overland, not subject to international shipping, the USA becomes a shopper without a credit card; a freeloader without a benefactor; an addict without an enabler.
 
This is why Iran must be destroyed, can’t have nukes, can’t have missiles and must acquiesce just as Libya did. In this sense the Ukraine project, Iran war, and then China war, really are “America First” in a weird unhealthy way.

All roads lead to the conclusion that the USA as a state must be dismantled and balkanized. The divisions in the US “melting pot” artificial society cannot be “healed” and seem set to get worse, so hopefully the US will implode without dumping more on the rest of us.

Centralized conglomerates like the US, EU and USSR fail because centralization produces monoculture that ignores localized ecologies of functional resilience and multi-element diversity strength. The US would do well to first break apart into the states and then logical regions of common purpose. The entire planet should do this out of common sense and the only survivable future. The current “owners” have gone off rationality regarding localized Earth’s capacities to support their 21st C exotic digital hotwiring of reality: AI, VR, everything wireless, digital everything, IoT, nano, gene mod experiments, plastics and universal industrial waste pollution. Their magical thinking will be the end of all of us unless we revoke their permits to make decisions for Humanity.

Agree. All US States could easily turn into separate independent Nations with their own flag, King or President m.m.

If they wanna fight they could fight each other to get hold of Texas’s oil etc.

Yes. Matthew Ehret? Is he the author of this epic-apocalyptic multipolar novel, the summary of which we are reading?

I have noticed that most of the psuedo “alt media” avoid the US Imperialism elephant in the room, Norton does not.

Israel is the middle easts airstrip one, Netenyahu is Trumps Gimp just as Starmer is his bit of posh on loan from Lord Ali.

Trump will make his decision on US going war with Israel within the next 2 weeks.

US Congress have promised Pentagon even more money (Senator Kennedy) even US use 50% of the world’s military costs of today. Trump praised Netanyahu again, said Netanyahu has been treated unfairly. https://youtu.be/xuFHbaazG3c .

Very bad signs. Trump could not stand the pressure and take a straight stand.

Here in Britain the illegal war on Iraq – saw a whistle blower Dr David Kelly who compiled the dossier that showed Iraq had no nukes, was killed by the security services – its not just the Washington Mafia and its hyena like MSM that longs for war to asset steal – I’m sure Tony Blair the then PM of Britain said to Bush Jr, “I will be with you whatever” or words to that effect, with the illegal invasion of Iraq in mind.

Anyway – a regime change in Iran is the plan – using the nukes excuse again – and as usual the American taxpayer will pick up the tab for Trump’s intervention to save a truly nasty Zionist regime that’s committing genocide, the upside for Trump is Iran’s assets, or access to them via a puppet government – you only have to look at Iraq, and the illegal war on it – to see what might happen to Iran – and then look at Syria, Libya and Afghanistan – all left in turmoil after they were ransacked.

Trump’s minions – in Europe and Britain will be chomping at the bit – awaiting his rubber stamp on the illegal attack on Iran
