Does Blowing Up Data Centres Make Iran “the Real Resistance”?

Kit Knightly

Oracle's middle-east HQ. It may or may not have been blown up.

On March 31st, the official channels of the IGRC published a statement declaring US-based tech companies “legitimate targets”, and threatening to “destroy” on in retalliantion for every future “assassination”.

The list included Apple, Amazon, Oracle, Palantir, nVidia, Hewlett Packard and several others.

These threats allegedly came to fruition last night, when an IGRC drone struck an Oracle data centre in Dubai.

However just to add the customary levels of confusion, the Dubai Media Office has claimed this never actually happened.

The IGRC have issued threats to other data centres in the area (presumably those attacks will actually happen, but who can say these days).

Whether any individual attack should prove to be real or not, the choice of companies is interesting, dovetailing as it does with a lot of mainstream stories about data centres being terrible and giving people cancer   as well as with some currently very popular social media memes.

The same can be said of the Iranian govt references to the “Epstein class”, and including Epstein’s island in their propaganda videos featuring a history of US crimes:

This is a well-placed marketing strategy, and the Western Left (at whom this is probably aimed) are eating it up, with some of them enthusiastically branding Iran “the real resistance” to Western technocracy:

A lot of words like “asymmetry” and “multipolarity” are being thrown around, painting a picture of Iran as a plucky little BRICS-backed David fighting for world peace and freedom against the Goliath of Uncle Sam.

It’s seductive. I could wish it was true. But sorry, no – it’s garbage.

And weak-minded hopium garbage at that.

Reality check to the dreamers – everybody on both “sides” wants the same technocratic prison for their citizenry:

Digital currency, digital identity, digital surveillance.

No cash, no cars, no complaining.

Censorship, social credit and “sustainability”.

You know what facilitates all of that? Manufactured crises, economic collapse, contrived shortages.

You know how to achieve those?

Well, how about closing the strait of Hormuz.

We know all of this, we can see it happening. This is reality unfolding. The birth of a New World Order as Sergey Lavrov said the other day.

The empire is moving house and getting a facelift.

And the Iranian elites blowing up – or, indeed, just claiming to have  blown up – a few data centres doesn’t change that.

But apparently it does make a lot of people believe in them as a savior.

Blowing Up Data Centres?

I have yet to see any convincing videos of blowing up anything.

Not videos, but nevertheless claims about outages because of the drone attacks. It must be possible to get these outages confirmed or rejected.

Why were ‘Baal’ statues burned at Iran’s state-run rallies?

Baal was the Canaanite and Phoenician god of storms, rain, and fertility, functioning as a major, often antagonistic, 
In the Bible, Baal was the primary Canaanite rival deity to Yahweh.

The article slots two things together that aren’t the same. 1. Digital surveillance – the obvious truth of how power will use the tools of the day to continue and enhance the oppression and control of people. 2. This means they’re in it together, no enemies really:

You know what facilitates all of that? Manufactured crises, economic collapse, contrived shortages.

You know how to achieve those?

Well, how about closing the strait of Hormuz.

I’m starting to get the feeling that ‘they’re all in together’ is a psyop response to ‘we fucked up, underestimated Iran and it’s not going quite as well as we’d hoped.‘ History – and a bit of sound reasoning – do not back up the claim of a conspiracy of pretend enemies. There have been plenty of points made in this space about the difference between the US-centred transnational elite and the countries they invest in (captial doesn’t care about enemies), but which they clearly don’t control. Yet these arguments are simply ignored by some as if the evidence supporting them doesn’t exist.

Those convinced of ‘they’re all in it together’, use COVID and digital surveillance, primarily, as evidence; insisting that because Iran, Russia and others followed the pandemic narrative and are installing oppressive digital systems, this means they aren’t really enemies with the West – and wars are pre-planned agreements on the way to a One World Government, or whatever. Here’s some counter-evidence showing they are enemies – which I’m sure believers of ‘they’re all in it together’ must think is just for show:

  • Iran has been under heavy U.S./Western sanctions for decades. Harming growth and forcing flight of capital and investment is the opposite of what transnational power and its proponents do or want. Iran has been disconnected from the global banking system for years. To survive, it’s been forced to rely on black markets, money-laundering, physical gold, and underground action. This isn’t how you treat a secret partner – see Israel for how you actually treat a partner.
  • The U.S. and Israel spent years developing “Stuxnet”. Complex, expensive malicious computer code that physically destroyed Iran’s nuclear centrifuges – a massive blow to Irans infrastructure. Governments don’t inflict billions of dollars of crippling sabotage on secret partners.
  • There’s no U.S. embassy or consulate in Iran – the United States has no diplomatic or consular relations with Iran.
  • The US – and it’s actual partners – regularly kill top military, political and science people of their enemy, Iran.
  • I’ll just quickly drop in the history of coups, infiltration and astro-turfing of ‘grassroots movements’ used to seek regime change.

Do the transnational elite welcome war and the resulting weatlh generation opportunies, infrastructure rebuilds, trade developments, control agenda and expansion of power? Of course they do. That’s not the same as Iran is in on it.

Short version: you can think many governments are becoming more authoritarian and never cared for their plebs, without jumping to ‘therefore they are all secretly one team.’ A stronger position is that governments copy tools that help them control populations – censorship, surveillance, digital payments, financial monitoring. Rival states can be truly hostile to each other whilst also being coercive and power-hungry at home. You don’t need an all-encompassing conspiracy to explain it.

“You can think many governments are becoming more authoritarian and never cared for their plebs, without jumping to ‘therefore they are all secretly one team.’”

Vague stuff that doesn’t address the issue of a specific device I.e the appearance of a “war” used as justification for a new immiseration program as well as an acceleration of these very control issues.

Your “stronger position” is another vacuous list about controlling populations etc. Which is so clearly what they’re doing that it doesn’t need to be said.

Your main contention depends on the most hackneyed of strategies I.e. the assumption that we will all run away screaming when we hear the word “conspiracy”. Covid proved that the various governments can pull together when they want. It’s hardly unfeasible they’d do it again.

The either/or notion of some unified cabal OR separate nations warring is unnecessary. Though the latter is the more naive concept. All governments make deals with each other. None of them are stupid. The deals will be made in secret. The politicians are just players at the front. And these players, like the general state of news, become ever more cartoonish and insulting.

It is no longer possible to return to that simplistic pre-covid outlook. With 2020 the last remnants of that neoliberal con about how everyone can become an entrepreneurial player have been trashed. We are now veering towards the “Left” pole of the Theatre. The Left are the curators now and deliver the “entertainment”. This idea that “our last chance” is the “defiance of Iran” is as dumb as the thinking 9/11 or Oct 7 were blows against the empire.

And yes, everything on TV, especially the news, is a big show.

Pure speculation by you and nothing more. It’s pointless debating with this sort of non-argument as it is based on nothing except ‘look they did this so they definitely are all in it together’. The COVID event and more has been explained in geopolitical and local power terms clearly, but you still cling to the idea that because enemy countries took the opportunity to use the same oppressive, power-enforcing and wealth-enhancing strategies when presented with a Western-backed narrative, then it means ally-ship. You always fail to address this obvious point (and similar), which shows your position to be either empty of reason and logic or disingenuous.

See, nonsense like that really does undermine some of the better things you post. My comment of “You can think many governments are becoming more authoritarian and never cared for their plebs, without jumping to ‘therefore they are all secretly one team.'” can’t be classed as ‘vague’. In fact that doesn’t even make sense in the context of the statement. It’s a statement of logic that highlights one does not prove the other. If you think otherwise, then your position is : ‘Governments are becoming more authoritarian and never cared for their plebs, because they are all secretly one team.’ If you can’t see the glaring hole in your logic there’s not much I can say to help you with that.

No offence, but you are manifesting the essentially broken-minded compartentalised world view that our education system inculcates in the middle management classes to ensure uncritical acceptance of the nonsense narratives they are required to both believe and disseminate.

Think of your statements as examples of a trained mindset that is a more sophisticated version of Newspeak and Doublethink, carefully proscribing logic and connective reasoning.

You commit glaring elisions and logical fallacies, but you don’t see them because you have been trained from a young age not to. Here’s an example

Do the transnational elite welcome war and the resulting weatlh generation opportunies, infrastructure rebuilds, trade developments, control agenda and expansion of power? Of course they do. That’s not the same as Iran is in on it.

Think about it for just a moment. How could the Iranian government – or any government – not be “in on it” in the circumstances you yourself describe?

You can only think as you do if you ignore other facts you also know to be true

ie how the Iranian govt arrived in power.

Remember that part? It’s absolutely crucial to a full understanding of the subject being discussed, but yet you completely erase it from consideration.

So, how did the current Iranian “regime” get into power? You already know the answer don’t you, in fact mr Knightly wrote an excellent piece about it quite recently – they were installed by an empire-backed coup.

Why? Because it suited the empire’s masters for there to be a controllable boogeyman counterweight in a strategic oil state that they could demonise when necessary, eulogize when desirable and activate on demand.

And Iran has always obliged on cue. As indeed it is doing right now.

You accept the existence of a supranational body with no national ties and huge amounts of wealth and power.

You accept it controls most Western and compliant states through coercion and strategic appointments.

You even accept it exploits the actions of enemy states in order to further agenda.

And you even accept that many of these “enemy states” have been purposely created.

But your training refuses to let you take it to the only possible conclusion – that both “friendly” and “hostile” states are playing the same script for the same reasons.

Not because they are purely puppets, any more than the head of every IBM branch in the world is a “puppet” of the big boss.

The regional heads of IBM have been put there because they are on board with IBM strategies, and if they were not they would never have been appointed.

The heads of governments go through a similar vetting process. And only those with proven loyalty/ acumen/ruthlessness are finally put in place.

To believe anything else is an act of wilful inculcated blindness

I can’t help you with this sort of non-argument. It doesn’t address my points at all and simply follows the weak pattern of – ‘this happened therefore there are no enemies’.

Using my quote…

and responding to it with…

…does not mean they are not enemies. in on what? Power hoarding, power enforcing, oppression, authoritarianism? YES! – that is what every single power group does. I can’t believe I have to explain that. It is nowhere near the same as, nor indicative of ‘they are ageeing behind the scenes on it all’. You simply are unable to see the gaping holes in your logic and completely indefensible theory.

It is reasonable to suggest that after centuries of western external plunder it is time to consume the host due to actual sovereignty of certain enemy class countries and diminishing returns. Thus covids, digitised ID and currency.

Far from it.

Currently, Russia and China are experiencing a revival of fortunes there and the West are being ejected to a degree, though they remain deeply entrenched.

Of course there are, but you are conflating the people of a region with their governments.

Governments, particularly authoritarian governments, tend to have more in common with each other than with their own people, or at least they prioritise those shared interests as a common survival strategy. There’s a gentleman’s agreement that any wars or disruptions will not tend to destroy the hierarchical order that mutually benefits them. Names and titles may change, but pecking orders remain the same – as per the revelatory end of Animal Farm.

The fact a coherent worldwide psyop about a fake virus could be simultaneously rolled out across all political divides and with 100% cooperation from supposed “enemy states” revealed the superficial nature of the divides between national rulers as well as the deep lines of secret communication and empathy that unite them.

It was actually a huge mistake on their part as it provided unique insights into the power structure the ruling political class of the world has been careful to conceal for millennia.

No wonder they have spent the last four years doing everything in their power to erase that revelation from our memory, using their old standby – war- as a means.

Nothing dims the intellect and rots the memory like tribal loyalties, and nothing induces more tribal loyalty than war.

As prescient as Orwell was re western governments, it’s lazy and arrogant to believe it’s universal. Without Orwell as your scaffolding what you suggest is absurd. It also shows how well insulated you’ve been from the impacts of western aggression. It’s all theatre when the brown people are blown up right?

The worldwide covid nonsense shows how pervasive and insidious the WHO is. A result of decades of WHO work infiltrating and ingratiating themselves into countries and multilateral legal frameworks. I’m sure many are rethinking what it means to be affiliated with it.

So, if we dispense with the hollow invocations of moral outrage about phantasms of racism and colonialism you inject merely to provide yourself with something to rant about – what di we have left in terms of a substantive refutation on your part?

What authoritarian governments?

The ones in western punters imaginations?

I mean ALL authoritarian governments, which is increasingly ALL governments, east and west. The covid psyop provided an opportunity for sweeping authoritarian legislation, which is still being added to by degrees and very little to none of which has been revoked.

This unfortunately is just as true in countries run by what you so condescendingly term “brown people”.

As prescient as Orwell was re western governments, it’s lazy and arrogant to believe it’s universal. 

It’s lazy and arrogant to believe anything absent evidence. But of course the evidence in this case is beyond any question. The government of Iran is actively pursuing identical policies of authoritarian control as are the governments of the US, UK, EU, Russia, China and most other nations on earth.

This is a global rollout. Simple fact.

It also shows how well insulated you’ve been from the impacts of western aggression. It’s all theatre when the brown people are blown up right?

As an ex-military man I am well aware of the impact of western aggression. And, no, I have never claimed it’s all theatre when brown people are blown up. This is very weak straw-manning on your part.

You forget or ignore that much of this aggression was stage-managed and “justified” by the strategic appointment of compliant leaderships that played along with the empire’s narratives.

Military aggression has been used for millennia both to acquire riches and territory, but increasingly as empires become more sophisticated, to divide and conquer the minds of the masses. If you control both sides of the divide you can fine tune the warring to suit any agenda.

The worldwide covid nonsense shows how pervasive and insidious the WHO is. A result of decades of WHO work infiltrating and ingratiating themselves into countries and multilateral legal frameworks. I’m sure many are rethinking what it means to be affiliated with it.

How were you persuaded to believe this transparent nonsense?

Covid was no more all about the WHO overstepping its remit than it was about a real virus. It was a coordinated attack plan to introduce the longterm world-government Agenda 2030 plan overnight by virtue of a “single catalysing event” – an invented but carefully stage-managed “pandemic”.

It was a bold scheme and it failed. But the basic plan has remained unchanged, and they are currently trying a relaunch, only this time, more cleverly, they are using war to promote it.

Ask yourself – what signs do you see out there in the real world that the governments you consider to be “freedom fighters” are “rethinking” the covid narrative, or anything associated with it?

Have they exposed the obvious lies? Have they rejected the toxic vaccines?

No, they have not.

But they ARE promoting CBDCs, digital IDs, climate legislation.

I don’t think you offer anything but hopelessness dressed up in superficial western cynicism. I think this is your only purpose. The equivalency meme. Fear, uncertainty, doubt.

This is very revealing. You cling to the idea that certain nations can be leaders in the struggle for human freedom because it gives you hope, and abandoning that idea makes you feel hopeless.

Try to see it another way – that you are currently investing all your valuable energy in believing a lie designed to keep you a compliant prisoner. And if you reject that lie – well, then you can begin to invest in genuine hope.

The NWO narrative is only as strong as the number of people who believe it. Each person who wakes up is a new challenge to it. If enough of us do, they’re ability to act is impaired or even neutralised.

Why else do you think they put so much energy into pumping out their propaganda?

This has been a very interesting, thoughtful and well written discourse today. Thank you, all.

I lean toward Robber Baron’s theories, but I do question what you stated regarding covid fake pandemic – “it was a bold scheme but it failed”.

It did? Failed at what? I think it destroyed lives and decimated the human spirit. I know I haven’t been the same. And the world around me has never been the same.

Aside from the lives it took, and is still taking, it brought us the detestable ZOOM.

I agree with what Simon Dixon asserts – the bombs are real, the victims are real, but the conflicts themselves are theatre. Scripted, planned and in the end agreed upon.

It would seem to me that it is not necessarily a bona fide agreement, but a result of greed, coercion, blackmail, murder, upheavel, and the strongest side gets it’s way. It could be as simple as greasing the wheels, or blowing up the tank. Whatever it takes.

I agree that Western FAKE republic oligarchic capitalist authoritarian casino is no better than oligarchic, theocracy totalitarianism. But if you were the later, the former is blowing up your public infrastructure to turn your country into another oil surrendering, failed state, like neighbors Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Sudan, and refuse to surrender, what would you do? Obtain nukes to detente aggression is understandable. David style knat-bombing and throttling Goliath & Sycophant’s resources, is also understandable.

Failed states are compliant to Western capitalism. Western capitalism is the enemy prosecuting failed state colonialism. Have any of the above failed states benefited equally to the West, as your NWO theory proposes? No. Not in anyway. If they were both conspiratorially creating a theater spectacle to the purpose of a new NWO, both sides would have to benefit.

I think a better theory is the US has plausible-deniability enabled a clinically violent psychopath to command the largest most expensive military machine in the world, doing what no one president, so on his own, could have done before, with only 30% reported support, to save the existing PDWO, petrodollar world order. The mean-hearted psycho is disposable no matter the result. He’s thrown himself into purgatory, this time unknowingly taking-one-for-the-team.

By Moe-poking US allies in the eyes, he may finally wake them from their stupor to realize the Pied Piper US state & spy craft manipulation, and get a spine to say goodbye. I think the US elite, wittingly or unwittingly, is burning all their bridges out of paranoia that their 30 years of over-clocked financial empire, has come to an end and taking Allies with it. The mad dragon is finally consuming itself.

[The US is a priced out society. The cost of basic needs and everything else is priced out for the bottom 90%. Income at the bottom 70% is impossible to keep up. Incomes of the 90% cannot continue to rise when flywheeling debt is a million to one and greedy gremlins are still in control. When you and all your friends and family can’t make a living among one another and the top 10% can only feed 50% of society with any income whatsoever, what’s gonna happen when w’all realize, plain as day, the real enemy?]

Yeah the whole hero worship hysteria getting going around Iran is nuts. I have every sympathy with the Iranian people, and you can bet the awake ones are just as suspicious and cynical about their leaders as we are about ours.

I met couple guys out there who were full on anti-theocracy and “conspiracy theorists” about their government but one of them (not so much the other) was totally convinced the West had it better and our governments were democratic and answerable yada yada. And when I told him no, our governments are corrupt as hell and our democracies are sham, he straight up wouldn’t believe me. He had this fixed idea the West was a great place.

Now when I tell people in my home town (I live in western Canada) about my experience of Iran they also don’t believe me, because they have this fixed idea that countries like Iran, Russia, China are more moral and decent than the West. Crazy isn’t it.

“the Real Resistance”? YES

Muammar Gaddafi was installed by the West to run Libya.
Due to what the media said about him, I hated him.
Then, after listening to his UN speech, I was surprised by him.
I asked some of the ethnic areas about his dictatorial policies and found out.
University was free, healthcare was free, married couples got 50 , 000 toward their first home,
and in terms of education , the people had some of the highest IQs in that part of the world.
Then I saw the video of Gaddafi driving around Libya and the respect he received.

Why did I mention this ?

Iran was the first country in the world to introduce interest-free banking. I want you to think about this : how many of you know this? It is the only Islamic country in the world to ban usury in 1983.

There is a conspiratorial map of countries that don’t have a certain bank and what that means for their people.
This idea of “they’re in it together” doesn’t buy it for me .

Saddam was installed by the West to run Iraq, and guess what? Banks had virtually the lowest interest rates , university education was free, health care was free, and homeowners got 0% loans and start-up funding for their businesses and their first homes . Electric, Gas and Petrol, Diesel, oil and food do not pain your income.

Iran, Libya, and Iraq are not perfect, but find me one Western country that is even considering such an idea of free banking for its people.

We did once have free education in the UK but not anymore.

I went to Uni last century, all fees paid for, plus a grant. I left without a penny owing. Not the case today with an average £50,000 debt for the departing student. Yes, it is a global scandal.

Blair sold out the UK educational system to the banks, though he wasn’t the instigator. Thatcher et al had already set the wheels in motion long before.

Primarily in the early years. In terms of the private system vs the inferior state system. Sure, ‘public’ schools demand big fees.

I suppose ultimately you got what you paid for, but nevertheless, Uni was free in those days, if you had the basic academic credentials to pass an exam or two, then you were in, regardless of finances. That being the key difference from today.

In primary school from 7-14 where they learn ABC, Math, Religion and basics are the most important years.
Because this is about culture and civilisation.

Iranian banks totally do charge interest, they just don’t call it that. You get levied a percentage “charge” on any loan you take out, so they don’t have to use the word and break sharia law. It’s all about government hypocrisy just like here. My BiL was a contractor for a building outfit out there and I spent a season working for him back in 2009. The Iranian banks are no different than ours, their system is just as corrupt as ours. There’s poverty on the streets and elite mofos driving limos. Just like here.

I sure as hell think data centers are legitimate targets in Iran’s defensive war with the US and Israel. Data centers are primarily used by intelligence agencies and private corporations under contracts with Israel and the US to track, surveil, and target people inside Iran for assassination. Palentir has been especially useful for Israel in its genocidal wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. Amazon is the biggest provider to the CIA for its data storage. Iran should blow up all these data centers immediately. They are really the heart of the war machines of the US and Israel.

During WW II, the Nazi government employed many US corporations to help prosecute its war and its genocide/ethnic cleansing operations. IBM and ITT were among the worst in the sense they provided systems for tracking and cataloging people according to the racial and other characteristics used by Nazis for elimination. Standard Oil provided fuel. Chase Bank provided international banking for the Nazis. Ford and General Motors built truck, tanks, and etc.

Following the war, these corporations were sued by Israel or the Wisenthal Institute for damages relating to the genocide of Jews. Billions of dollars were paid to Israel for the work these corporations did for the Nazis.

Now we should expect that the corporations running the data centers should pay billions of dollars to the victims of Israeli and US wars and genocides. Short of that, they should just be blown into useless rubble.

For many big businesses, the current fashion is to have 3 main centres: in N America, SW Asia or W Africa, and eastern Asia. The serfs support services around the clock.

Impressing work. Its a little funny to see how the Bible’s spiritual description fits in with the more practical description here.

For example that the jews were kicked out from their own homeland by God, and now walked like vagabonds from country to country seeking a land to settle under the mercy of other Nobility and Priesthoods.

Also the habits of using usury against the peasants, not reserved to only jews but also heavily accepted by dumb Polish nobility and bad governance and greed. Impressing.

” .     Israel’s declared goals similar to Russia’s – LavrovThe fight against Nazism is what historically unites Russia and the Middle Eastern country, the foreign minister believes

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ©  Ramil Sitdikov; RIA Novosti
The declared goals of Israel in its ongoing operation against Hamas militants in Gaza seem nearly identical to Moscow’s in its campaign against the Ukrainian government, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said in an interview with RIA Novosti on Thursday.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has been carrying out a relentless bombing campaign in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza over the past two months following a surprise Hamas attack on Israeli territories on October 7.

The attack by the Palestinian militants left some 1,200 people dead and saw the kidnapping of over 200 hostages. Israel’s response, meanwhile, has reportedly cost the lives of over 21,000 people, according to Gaza health officials.

.Lavrov, however, noted that these goals seem similar to “demilitarization” and “denazification,” which Moscow has been pursuing in Ukraine since it launched its offensive in February 2022.

The diplomat noted the hypocrisy demonstrated by Israel’s former government under Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who condemned Russia’s military operation and accused Moscow of attacking the civilian population and annexing parts of Ukraine.
“This was unfair,” said Lavrov.

At the same time, the minister pointed out that the current Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu – who took office for a sixth term in December 2022 – has avoided making any statements against Russia, despite international criticism and finding himself in “a difficult situation.”

Lavrov further recalled that Netanyahu had held two phone conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the Israelis had helped Moscow evacuate Russian citizens from Gaza.

“Therefore, we need to be very careful about our common history with Israel and, above all, the history of the fight against Nazism. This is the main thing that unites us historically,”

Lavrov said.

Russia has repeatedly called on both Israel and Hamas to stop hostilities in Gaza, with Putin stating that the only way to resolve the Middle East crisis was through a “two-state” formula approved by the UN Security Council.

Netanyahu, meanwhile, has refused to send military aid to Ukraine and has instead offered himself as a potential mediator for peace talks between Moscow and Kiev. ”

However, the roots is that we ordinary people have difficulty in seeing any resistance against evil than sweet public words.
Iran is the first one we have seen standing up and shooting back.

I mean Ukraine is receiving Lindsey and Kushner just now.
Russia is paying Kiev for the gas running to EU through the first line.
China and Blackrock are investing and working as Contractors in Ukraine.

Delegates from the Duma are fumbling around in Washington “to talk it over and make friends”, while you and figures are claiming Russia kill 2000/day on the battle field in a war lasting 4 years by now with no sight of ending.

We would like to think some good guys fight against the lunacy. But as some claim – ‘they are all in it’. Thats why.

After the collapse of the USSR the carpet beggars from the West aka Wall street/City of London economically raped it . its exchange rate went from 1 ruble to 1 dollar to 4000 to 1 dollar, its economy shrank by almost 40% and it was on the verge of collapse.

During this period in Russian history, the Western regarded it as spent force so much so that works such as ” Francis Fukuyama’s “The End of History and the Last Man,” published in 1992, argues that the rise of Western liberal democracy marks the endpoint of mankind’s ideological evolution, suggesting that this form of government is the final and most effective system for all nations.

He posits that while history will continue in terms of events, the ideological conflicts that characterized the 20th century have largely concluded in favor of liberal democracy. “

And, indeed, many of the Western ” elites” believed that the Earth was for the taking hence why the ” Wesley Clark mentioned a plan to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and including Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing with Iran. “

However, they miscalculated with the renaissance of Russia. This can be best illustrated by the reaction to Putin’s 2007 Munich security conference speech and the subsequent reaction from the West leading up to the present day.

The mistake people in the West make is to believe that the Russians should follow the same doctrine as they do whether it’s in society or militarily. eg The conflict in the Ukraine is a war of attrition not, to use the well worn cliche, ” shock and awe”.

Russians are very patient people.

It’s also a misnomer to believe Russia doesn’t have factions.

In regards to Russia Ukrainian/US/UK/West/City of London conflict, this sums up the Russian approach

‘ During Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul, the head of the Russian negotiating team, Vladimir Medinsky, warned Kyiv representatives that Russia is ready to continue military actions for as long as necessary.

We don’t want war, but we are ready to fight for a year, two, three – however long it takes. We fought with Sweden for 21 years. How long are you ready to fight?” ‘

“We fought with Sweden for 21 years. How long are you prepared to fight?”

By the way this what Iran said about Russia,

‘ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Russia is helping Iran “in many different directions.” ‘

Totally agree that Iran’s covid period casts them in a very suspicious light but they could have been persuaded to just follow WHO rules with a few billion in “loans” and some off-the-record bones about maybe lifting sanctions after we’ve won the war against the virus. It’s possible they were “carrot and sticked” and that they are not entirely in the globalist club. For me, the jury is still out.
And the ayatollahs being blown up despite being the “elite” is not very conclusive evidence on the other side either; they are not any more elite than our own politicians who can have any worldly goods and pleasures they want but are ultimately very expendable. Iran no doubt has its own true leaders well hidden, un-named, behind the scenes.

Reality check to the dreamers – everybody on both “sides”…

Kit – for your theory to be believable, one would have to believe that what they have in common usurps their differences. Or even, that their 70 year long emnity, is fake.

Here’s another theory –

1. That Israel has wanted Iran disassembled for decades – because Iran supports Palestinian resistance not only with words, but financially / militarily too.
2. Israel is an expansionist entity founded – and with Iran+proxies gone, they will finally be able to stop merely ‘mowing the lawn’, and instead wholesale replace it.
3. Even if ‘both sides’ find value in some same things (being nice to Mum, liking digital currency)… the leap from that to orchestration over this war, is too great.
4. Re. Digital Currency etc – maybe the root problem isn’t the technology per se – but that WE DO NOT TRUST OUR LEADERS. We know that they stopped operating in our interests a long time ago…and so anything they do, becomes suspicious.

Being all in it together is not the same as Iran’s political system being no better than the West. They are two separate things. They can both be true, but they don’t have to both be true.

I think Kit is saying the second part not the first and you are arguing against the first part not the second, am I right?

So let’s talk about what Kit is really talking about which is that Iran is not morally superior governmentally to the West.

From what I have read I would say that was hands down definitely true. Iran’s leaders sold their people out about covid just as much as Biden did in the US. They used our vaccines and did forced lockdowns etcetera, 100% as bad as the West. Now they’re developing their own central back digital currency, and we know what that means. They signed up to all the climate accords too.

It’s a war between two countries who both are aiming to turn their people’s lives into technocratic hell. Which is Kit’s point. Whoever wins it’s not going to be any different for the future of humanity and people thinking if Iran wins they will tear up all the surveillance legislation, admit covid was fake, and set us all free is just not realistic.

Yes, there are “real” aspects. Bombs, victims (although I don’t believe any reporting from msm), but the entire crisis is theatre. Scripted, planned, executed.
Not to say that all involved actually like each other, probably the contrary, but they will pool together for their digital power.

” I wonder if those Iranian leaders were killed?”

A sample of those murdered ,

Which key Iranian figures have been killed in US-Israeli strikes?

Tens of thousands of people have attended funeral processions in Tehran for Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy, who was assassinated last week in US-Israeli strikes.

The ceremony on Wednesday saw tens of thousands, from all walks of life, turning up at Tehran’s Enqelab Square to begin a procession to honor Tangsiri.

Mourners also bid farewell to the coffins of Brigadier General Jamshid Es’haqi, who served as a top advisor to Iran’s chief of staff before he was assassinated along with his family members in an airstrike last week.

Dude – what’s your evidence it’s NOT fake and scripted? Some social media stuff and msm articles? Why would you believe those? Were you there? Did you know those dead guys? Did you see them die?

It all comes down to being told stories and deciding to believe them or not. Your “evidence” is just those stories put in writing, which you think makes them more likely to be true, but why? There’s books and newspapers going back centuries that are full of stories that were later proved to be lies but everyone believed them at the time.

Labour reforms: the Welfare State 1945-51
Labour Reforms: Background

  • The Labour Party won the General Election in 1945, led by Clement Attlee.
  • Influenced by the Beveridge Report of 1942, Labour sought to combat five major societal ‘evils’ – want, disease, ignorance, squalor, and idleness.
  • The post-war consensus in political and social policy stressed the need for comprehensive and well-organised public services.

Key Reforms: Health and Social Security

  • The National Insurance Act, 1946, extended the previous system to provide unemployment, sickness, maternity and pension benefits to more people.
  • The National Health Service Act, 1946, led by Aneurin Bevan, established the NHS in 1948 providing free healthcare at point of use.
  • The National Assistance Act, 1948, aided those not covered by other legislation, effectively abolishing the Poor Law.

Key Reforms: Housing

  • The Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act, 1944, established to deal with the severe bombing damage from World War II, was continued by Labour.
  • The Town and Country Planning Act, 1947, gave local authorities powers to control land use and established the green belt.
  • Over one million homes were built during Labour’s term in office.

Key Reforms: Education

  • The foundation for educational reform was laid by the wartime Coalition Government’s Education Act, 1944 (the “Butler Act”).
  • This Act raised the school leaving age to 15 and introduced free secondary education for all, things the Labour Government would carry forward.

In my opinion, you’re missing the point. Now have a look at what is happening around this.

On March 30, the Israeli Knesset passed a discriminatory bill expanding the use of the death penalty for Palestinians who have been accused of terrorism-related offenses.
With Trump ‘s Christian extremist (nutter) Pete Hegseth, who makes James “Mad Dog” Mattis and Mike Pompeo seem fluffy, the concept of what is now normal in war has shifted to discussing killing anything and everyone, as this is how it’s going to be from now on.
When this becomes normalized and actualized with the vocabulary, then when COVID- 2 happens, anyone who is considered against it will be assisted dying, as they will be regarded as bio-toxic terrorists.

To answer your question with two simple words Kit: absolutely not.

One of the reasons I deleted Facebook was because of the number of people on there, also known as hopium addicts, putting Trump and various controlled opposition figures like Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Riccardo Bosi, etc on a pedestal, worshipping them like Daddy figures, and believing these people were on their side coming to save them. Just vote harder next time. Sigh.

In short, they want a saviour who will come and save them. I’m now seeing exactly the same thing happening on Instagram and Telegram, especially since this “war” began.

Lots of people who should know better are literally swooning over Iran and wanting them to really stick it to the United States and Israel.

Yes, I can understand that people would clutch at straws, or any straw at this point when things seem very dire. But putting blind faith in politicians and Governments is not the answer.

And while the war and everything else is going on, including Southern Lebanon being bombed back to the stone age, the digital panopticonic gulag is still being rolled out. It hasn’t stopped being rolled out.

Here’s what Michael Hudson has to say. I guess he’s just dumb:

Iran essentially has the same spirit that Patrick Henry had in America’s revolution against Britain in 1776. He said, “Give me liberty or give me death!”. And that’s exactly what Iran is saying.

​ For them, this is existential, because they know what the US plans are, since the United States has been so open about what its plans are.

​ Yes, they want a regime change; they want to break up Iran into parts; they want to take control of Iranian oil and use the oil export revenues to support the US dollar, and to support basically the US economy, and to give American foreign policy the option of turning off the oil to other countries,

Anyone who can with a straight face write such utter claptrap as this is either drunk, stupid or being paid to spread propaganda.

Its only value is that it encapsulates too clearly the narrative that Left-leaning and Libertarian anti-imperialists are being presented with, designed to appeal to our deepest instincts of fairness and equality.

This is good because when so clearly defined as this it’s easy to expose for the absurd attempt at mind-bending that it is.

The Iranian people may well desire “liberty or death”, but their government has no more intention of granting it to them than the regimes of the West. On the contrary, just like the US they will use this “war” as an excuse to fast-track further social controls.

This is what wars are for after all.

The idiotic part is the ludicrous attempt to personify the authoritarian budding technocratic Iranian elite as “Patrick Henry”.

As to the rest, yes Trump is a bombastic clown who talks nonsense, but Hudson is inaccurate to say the US war aim is regime change in Iran. Trump early on babbled about how it would be a good idea, but his own admin soon specifically ruled that out – being somewhat less clownish than he is.

Does it make their war aims any more justifiable or even sane? No, but we should aim for accuracy over propaganda.

We have been through it before; My Lai, Fallujah, Gaza, m.m. So the motivation among Iranians and other decent people is there.

And while some will be used for frivolous or nefarious things, a great many are running essential services for everything from hospitals and schools through power grids to international aviation and travel bookings.

All these data are fake (artificial) my dear robber baron.

What you see in your Digital screen is photos, videos, power points, statistic figures, ALL is artificial and false information!

The photo is without noise, smell, movement, and your visionary is a fragment and time split second of reality, the colours are false, and on top 75% of the photos are photo shopped.

The video is over written with a speaker and/or text, or music is playing in the background, without smell, without true background noise, birds, cars, and present only a fragment of the movements on the spot. On top most videos are staged.

The power point showing statistics or figures or maps will per definition all be false as they only show a flat world.
For example Greenland showed on a map is 5 times bigger than France, while reality says it ‘only’ is at the same size of France.

You will see from this little simple analysis which every person could make, that notwithstanding how the fok you put this information together in your head, you can never ever come to a rightful conclusion about ‘reality’.

You can only get a “non-artificial” = right full conclusion by being a human on the spot, by using all of your human senses.

I reckon it’s ways more complex than you state.. I think The Iranian elite were in on the 2030 agenda and went along with the pandemic BS for sure.. And what government doesn’t want to have the population under it’s control more fully within the digital system being made available?

And also.. The Iranian elite don’t want to be killed.. Just like the rest of us.. And they don’t want to lose control of their country and have the Shah installed, as they’ll all be executed or imprisoned.. I don’t think they’re playing along with that game.

it’s possible that they were promised for many years that if they went along with this and that, then they’d be left alone to rule, without any threat of being overthrown.

They’ve been betrayed now and it’s clear to them that the USA/Israel fantasy of controlling the entire region is now raging.. They’ve had a lot of bombs dropped on them and they’re fighting for their survival.. Thankfully, they do have an impressive arsenal of rockets and they haven’t been scared to use them against Israel.. Come on.. Who isn’t chuffed on one level to see the fire raining down on Tel Aviv and elsewhere in Israel, even though it means we’re going bankrupt soon.

Of course.. The Iranian elite, the zios along with trump and his cronies are all pawns being played by the master geopolitical chess players who play the long game.

They made sure that the appropriate maniacs were elected into positions of power in all the tribes.. Arm them to the teeth and it’s only a matter of time before they go to war to destroy each other.

The Illuminati or whatever we want to call them, couldn’t care less about any of the players.. Through the decades, they’ve just set the stage for all out war which will ultimately serve their end goal of establishing their wet dream fantasy of controlling the world after years of chaos and social breakdown around the globe.. Their wake up call is coming though and they’ll realise that instead of being masters, they are no more than sorcerer’s apprentices who have caused unfathomable damage through the dark spells they have cast.. Black magicians are only allowed to push the fabric of reality by 359 degrees and then it all springs back like a boomerang.. That’s a universal principle which cannot be manipulated..

We’re at 358 degrees.

It’s takes a certain amount of people to wake up out of the duality spell and to activate the pure magic of the heart centre.

Black magicians have their function in pushing and destroying middle of the road stuck sheep societies like the EU,UK, US but also the ME and the PRC. Too much greed or hypocrisy causes revulsion to that: the push side of the magnet.
Paramount to include are the white magicians, without whom the blacks wouldn’t even exist. The pull side of the same magnet bring a symbiotic future that 99.99% can’t even imagine. Could or can Chimpanzees understand human society even while seeing it from a zoo? Homo sapiens has to evolve or perish and considering Evolution its going to be the former. The brain, emotions and ego are going to be servants, not masters but there will be no uniformity: we all have different aspects of the same giant diamond to manifest.

I found this on the intranets:

Iran has the Stargate UAE datacenter on its target list, an attack which would simultaneously hit the UAE, the US, Pax Judaica, and US tech firms, and could even be the impetus to the collapse of the AI bubble which supports the entire US stock market. This would be wonderful.

Yes we can dream can we. At least we could dream about it. A wonderful dream.
Kit, you are a party killer.

I cant be the only guy around who are against this bombing girls schools, murders of 1’st degree, Fallulah massacres, eugenic experiments. There must be a resistance pack in between!

But I agree when we see Khamenei and Party pulling their sleeves up, the whole dream theater collapses. https://www.newarab.com/news/yemens-houthis-claim-they-are-developing-coronavirus-vaccine

“Reality check to the dreamers – everybody on both “sides” wants the same technocratic prison for their citizenry:
Digital currency, digital identity, digital surveillance. “?

If I read the following, then Iran is not participating with the Western banks:

I have read that entire wikipedia article and I don’t see anything to suggest or even imply “Iran is not participating with the Western banks”. Can you point to what gave you this impression?

Frankly I’m not sure how any bank could even function these days without being part of the international financial network. But supposing it’s true, what would it mean? Would an Iranian technocracy be ethically or practically preferable just because it was separated from its western counterpart? Separate isn’t automatically better, or even different, is it.

I also see no indication in the Wiki article that the Bank of Iran falls under the international system, and therefore I doubt whether they participate in the Western digital currency.

That has long been a disjoiner about Iran, I.e., that it is not controlled by the so called Rothschild central banking system.

Despite what AntiSoof claims the Wiki article says nothing about the Bank of Iran’s relations with the international banking system.

Can we be more precise about what “not controlled by the so called Rothschild central banking system” means in solid practical terms? Will this make Iran’s Central Bank Digital Currency less of a digital leash around the necks of the Iranian people?

If so – how?

Wait – you are basing your claim that “Iran is not participating with the Western banks”solely on the fact the Wiki page does not explicitly saying that it does??

Iran has its own CBCD – the digital rial. All CBDCs by their nature are the antithesis of government by consent

Maybe not a ‘savior’ but a ‘survivor’.

Iran resisted the invasion of Arabic culture via the ‘Shahnameh’, Hence the survival of Persian. It resisted via the influence of Omar Khayyam. It survived under invasion by Genghis Khan.

So resisting US MacDonald’s ‘culture’ should be relatively easy by comparison

There’s a persistent and ancient myth that Britain was founded by refugees from Troy, so this summer I’m going to rent a massive holiday villa in Turkey and just stay, when the landlord comes round I’m going to scream get out of Albion Anglophobe!!! in their face.
I will show my reasonableness by being prepared to take 2500 years in backrent.

Don’t forget the old gaslighting. I had the BBC veer suddenly from the Iran “War” to speculation on what the dark side of the moon looks like.

Any day now, the news will feature a pop ditty, a frenzied report on Iran, a dance number, an antisemitic attack on an Israeli condom manufacturer, a blast of hardcore porn, and then over to the weather with of course the obligatory molten lava map.
