“A permanent hit to living standards” – Iran War agenda revealed.
Just six weeks in, we've already got "global Economic scars" that will "define a generation". That was fast.
Kit Knightly
The Iran War has been going on for less than six weeks, has thus far involved no infantry engagements of any kind on either side, and is currently in the middle of a ceasefire.
Does that sound like a conflict that can already be described as going to “define our generation”?
Because that’s what Sir Keir Starmer said earlier today.
Now, politicians engaging in hyperbole for the sake of a soundbite is hardly rare, but Starmer is far from alone in this over-statement…
The New Republic is calling Iran “the greatest strategic blunder in American military history”.
The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. https://t.co/vYhfLG6ONl
— The New Republic (@newrepublic) April 10, 2026
Let’s remind ourselves that official figures claim fewer than twenty US losses, no boots on the ground and – again – currently in a ceasefire after six weeks of fighting.
With respect, this is not even in the top two US military disasters of this century.
Iraq and Afghanistan cost trillions, lasted decades and in strategic terms achieved next to nothing – and though many, myself included, would argue that was potentially very much the point – officially they are very definitely disasters.
To already brand the Iran venture on that level reeks of agenda setting.
And at the same time, we’re being prepped for the economic impact of the (as yet) six-week-old war to last for years, by outlets like the New Statesman:
The Iran energy fallout is here to stay – It will take years for global markets to recover from the crisis
Foreign Affairs says the war is “upending the economy”.
The FT is warning of “long term scars”, while Fortune think it’s “re-shaping global power”.
Al Jazeera is wondering how global supply chains will ever recover.
Most tellingly of all, the head of the International Monetary Fund is out there declaring…
Iran war will permanently scar global economy even if peace is reached
You see, even if peace were declared tomorrow, it’s too late. We’re scarred.
She even added that the “most hopeful scenario” will cause a “permanent hit to living standards”…which she probably didn’t mean quite the way it sounds.
This is a LOT of premature narrative formation. Propaganda that spits out the answer before the teacher has even finished asking the question.
And it’s a tell-tale sign of narrative roll-out, rather than an organic reaction to real events.
I wonder what the end goal might be…
Of course he didn’t mean it that way but – hmmm.
Maybe this war will “define our generation”, but based on current information it will be because that was the plan from the beginning.

The war has to be part of the Great Reset and ushering in the UN “sustainability” pretexts for continued Western control of global resources and development. Is is all about “White supremacy”, for or against? No. It is mainly about the “money-power” and tribal supremacy for those usual suspects controlling finances, the media, our governments, and most of the social engineering policies in vogue over the past 60 years. Now, with this war we are in a NWO interlude phase where the emphasis is off of the nation-deconstructing, culture-cancelling, open borders, Coudenhove-Kalergi herding of displaced people into the West, coming from their DEI globalist front, in order to enable Israel and its tribal supremacy-class more firmly to establish its place in the sun as one of the major powers controlling the major resources and choke points the Middle East, as well as the planned largest trade hub on the globe. Has Iran already made a deal to back off its opposition to the Greater Israel Project? Maybe or maybe not, although they may have made a deal for their own survival and advancement. Islamic resurgence is verboten and entirely anti-Kosher to the NWO, Great Reset, and Greater Israel plans. The people running things do not make blunders as said in this article. They operate according to long-range, and their carefully-laid-out plans. Plugging up the Straight not only gives Iran leverage for its own interests, but also with Iran under siege, the entire NWO money-power order is given great leverage, enabling them to coerce developing nations in Asia, and to push their Great-Rese financial controls, resource-ownership, and trade polices on them. Like 9/11, which was a joint Israeli-American false flag, and the Covid plandemic, they always have to have some real grit with real blood and guts to carry out their machinations, such as a few thousand real deaths with the planned demolitions, and a few million real deaths of the highly vulnerable from a real bioweapon tailored since about 2002 to be airborne and to cause severe respiratory problems. In the ME the US has had a lot of practice in destroying and pounding nations into dust for Israel, Western, and NWO hegemony.
Living standards actually means you can live,
this is slavery.
Actual losses don’t matter that much (except to those killed or injured and people having to live the damage, of course). Why Iran is a major strategic blunder is that its not only fought Israel and the US to a standstill — Iran is still capable of inflicting serious damage (and its quite willing if pushed). What has nosedived is the sense of invulnerability, the idea that ‘the West’ is capable of getting its way, consequence free, so everyone else had better knuckle down and play nice — or else. This has been critical to maintaining the dollar as the world’s reserve currency (and so staving off the consequences of persistent and growing deficits). People have had to pay a dollar premium to keep us placated but now it looks as if they don’t need to. There won’t be a sudden shift but what has been quietly rumbling under the surface is likely to become open with countries like ours (the US) and the UK that primarily run on fiat currency feeling a very chill wind indeed.
This thing will go on for a while as the viewing figures are good ratings.
So the peace negotiations broke down. What next?
The comments are not interesting.
I actually agree with almost everything this above guy says
However what never gets mentioned is.
Rome has common folk believing that there is a God that they represent, and a devil they are at war with.
The polarized system is fake, there is always someone at the top who controls both sides. So who controls satanism, Freemasonry, and every other supposed enemy of the church?
why never get to the who who.??
Its a spiritual fight with yourself. It is not fake!

Another surveillance and LOCKDOWN add-on. Back to 1967…

There is certainly no way to deny the fact that the ruling elite did zero to stop what the military, CIA and economists all knew to be Operation Epic Stupidity. Making Iran a permanent enemy to use the Strait like a future nuclear detente, and, a plausibly deniable enemy to accuse for the next 911 inside job. This seems to be their Evil Axis playbook that includes popup diseases, crypto, digital cash, AI and any new “enemy” they can cook up in media. Paper dragons all.
The statement is probably true. But the seemingly brief Iran war was a symptom not the main cause, which is the relative decline of the United States as a world power. Probably nearly every international event this century, including covid, also falls into that category. Iran to the US was similar to the Suez Crisis to the UK in the 1950s. Still, that’s a much better inspiration than Nazi Germany in 1941 so let’s give Trump and his military chiefs some credit if reality and humanity have prevailed.
Well, it’s not over yet. They’re obviously priming us for worse things to come. After Suez, the US basically took over from Britain. But after this? Well, it’ll be China, won’t it?
Westminster might vote to end protesting in England, we’re half-way there already.
“Next week, MPs will vote on a bill to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests, turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. It must be opposed.”
Protest Is Not a Privilege
We are being prepared to accept two blows to living standards:
— Trump’s payoff to MIC (Military Industrial Complex, like Raytheon, etc):
“Wartime economy to rebuild the military”
— Asset Stripping of the American Homeland per Simon Dixon.
Can anyone tell us exactly what this means?
Does Trump’s severe downgrading of the US Forestry Dept have
something to do with part of it? (Involves are area the size of Texas)
I am a little sceptical about these US Forestry Dept.
They are usually ‘green’ Leftists; controllers, commissionaires, inspectors, researchers, scientists, bureaucrats, ticket sellers, claiming they do “save” the nature against me and you who wants to destroy the nature by taking a walk in the park.
It seems however the public control of these areas are being centralised, so a little group can sell/issue licences to big corporations for the use of same.
It could easily be more commercialisation of the same areas.
I once visited the Niagara Falls to see one of nature’s wonders but was deeply disappointed. What I found was not nature but a big Tivoli build around the falls.

Yes Eric, and the Walgrrreens on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which I thought was a bit inappropriate on our mega-road trip in a Ford ThunderBird in 1977 Orlando to LA. Typical.
Poor poorer.
Middle getting skinters.
Nothing new
So the regime will use one or more narratives arising from the “war” to direct social/political etc reality as they desire.
In short the agenda rolls on.
It might at this time be best to stop questioning its unfolding, rather watch its predictable end happen with or without any spectacle-as-pretext to provide the spectator buy-in.
So what’s the ‘predictable’ end?
Not seen it, unless you’ve been privileged enough to read the last page of the book, or the end of the film
Watch it for yourself:
Here is the predictable end: https://youtu.be/Swuvbdp7Bbg?list=RDSwuvbdp7Bbg
Please take some time to take a look at what is currently happening in Ireland. Seems to be an uncanny media blackout…its a real anti-globalist uprising, not just a fuel protest.
Some Canadian head of police has been parachuted in who has form with suppressing the Canadian truckers.
In my post below– the one w the picture– R. Lowe is predicting an uprising in Britain due to conditions there. Wonder if this Irish chaos is related?
It’s being explained as fuel protests:
Panic buying of everyday items like bread and milk is leaving some supermarkets dangerously low on common essentials as the fuel protests continue and roads around the country are blockaded by thousands of protestors.
CEO of Fuels for Ireland, Kevin McPartlan, said today that ‘This is now a national fuel distribution issue. It is no longer confined to one area.’
‘The longer this continues, the greater the risk to motorists, businesses, and essential services right across the country.’
But this sounds like rather more:
Main motorways and secondary roads around the country have seen blockades and ten-kilometer tailbacks as the protests tighten their grip on the country’s infrastructure.
Says no fuel shortage yet; just distribution of fuel.
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/money/topstories/panic-buying-of-fuel-and-food-could-lead-to-empty-shelves-by-next-week/ar-AA20BZH2
The protests in Ireland are probably being seeded by the government chaos merchants. They want a phony “social breakdown” to justify draconian moves. Surely by sharing these stories uncritically you’re just helping it along
Could be happening because the actual Irish people are getting and sick and tired of their Rulers giving them and their country over to Third World Savages.
they are, and as prices rise, how does blockading supply yourselves help in any way? who are they hurting?
protests that don’t make sense for those protesting are sure signs of intelligence, not grassroots.
astroturfing.
Could be. I don’t know. Maybe they still have too much to lose, and the wrong targets are the safer targets. Or, this current cold morph into the straw that broke the camel’s back.
The strangers are like you and me. I am more pessed at the QR system crawling in everywhere https://youtu.be/Swuvbdp7Bbg .
If you’d simply united with the rest of the UK like you were supposed to, maybe you wouldn’t have such issues? Just sayin…
In America its even found in the water supplies.
Acrylamide | Food Standards Agency
Acrylamide and Cancer Risk – NCI
Sweden alerted the world about acrylamide ~30 years ago. It is inconvenient to address at present, with only wishy-washy cautions. This means the same limbo as GMO, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, food additives, smart meters, mobile phones, Wifi/RF/microwave. Thank you for being considerate about share-holder interest and feelings.
Well the four actornauts have finally come out of hiding – (NASA safe house) – all are said to be in good health, which isn’t surprising considering they didn’t really go anywhere in the first place.
The media and NASA spokespersons, are spouting the propaganda that the Artemis II trip – is the furthest human have been from the Earth, and its a historical event.
All completely fake of course, and yet, one can still dream, it seems:
Did the three-legged astro-not also return safely?
Yes I saw that clip, all he needed to add to his three legs, were Netanyahu’s six fingers, and he’d be complete.
I have a feeling that the “economy” is never stable.
Feelings are what economies are based upon. ‘Confidence’ the archetypal form
Welcome investors, pray for their continued confidence and never commit any sin to undermine it.
Never as they like to keep people unstable
Nope they aren’t, it all now just in time delivers that’s the mantra.

The peace dividend that we’ve enjoyed for the last 30 years is coming to an end.
War has always been a racket. To be precise, a protection racket. And here it’s being shoved in our faces.

Sorry about the repeated line.
No worries. At least you plugged ‘x’
‘Living standards’?
According to whose criteria?
The $uiturd$ and their Masters wouldn’t know a living standard if it bit them on their arses.
They live on a different plane than the rest of us.
They live in a cosy, cosseted, cocoon of wilful ignorance. tRump being a prime example.
Some people will barely be affected.
Some people will economise.
Some people will struggle.
Many people will suffer
That’s how our Dog eat Dog world works.
That’s how the $uiturd$ and their Masters manage it.
I’m not sure what your point is here Johnny? The “$uiturd$ as you call them are not planning on hitting their own living standards, just ours.
Very very few will barely be affected. Only the extremely wealthy will see little or no change in their lifestyle. Most people, including the white collar business class are intended to take big hits. And not just financially.
Their general access to comfort and freedom will be slowly eroded. Life will increasingly resemble life on Airstrip One and the virtual “telescreen” of digital ID will erode all possibility of a life undetected.
IF we let it happen – through neglect, distraction or fear. We can still stop it, and we must.
The 1% don’t do the dirty work, they’ve got the Corporate and Government $uiturd$ for that.
The Upper Middle Class and some of the Middle Class can afford to economise without too much pain.
The Useless Eaters on the other hand _ _ _
It’s so weird reading the article and then the comments because so many people commenting act like they didn’t read the article. They just rock up and slam down the same talking points or obsessions or media stories they always do even if the article totally contradicts them or makes them irrelevant. They don’t even disagree with the article they just ignore it and slam down their usual 2 cents.
It’s like talking to my folks and I can point out some glaring fact that makes everything they’re saying completely redundant or meaningless or even completely contradict it, and they’ll just look at me blankly for a minute and then carry on like I hadn’t spoken.
Guys, OG is presenting article after article showing this war is completely part of a wider agenda that could fuck up the whole of humanity. It doesn’t matter who is winning or what side did what or what Trump said or what Vance said or what is i mainstream headlines today.
All that is just smokescreen for the bigger issue that most of the commenters just keep ignoring! With a few honorable exceptions. I always like to read George Mc, Rolling Rock, Robber Baron, and a few others whose names I don’t recall, because they’re not fooled or playing along and they discuss in meta and question why these stories are in the news rather than just accepting them as reality and using them to springboard their own obsessions or give more air time to mainstream scare porn.
I truly like and respect them and I wish there were more. and I sometimes wonder why some of the other regulars keep turning up here when they just ignore OG’s USP and rock up to talk about the mainstream stuff they could talk about on a dozen other places where that’s what everyone talks about. I don’t like to go to the clichè that they’re disinfo types, but it’s frustrating to see so much wasted energy spent buying mainstream stories and just putting their own spin on them rather than questioning the stories themselves.
I’m no fakery expert but I increasingly feel like the real point of all this stuff we see today is an assault on reality and the best way to deal with that is to go meta and question the mainstream stories at their root like Kit does and Iain Davis and Hrvoje and like some of the best (imo) commenters do. All this hate Trump, no hate the Dems, no hate Iran, no hate Israel just feels like playing along with the deception. It depresses me to see it.
TLDR – I wish more commenters wrote in the skeptical meta way that most OG articles are written.
And there’s no excuse with TLDR with Kit. His articles are the best. Always short and to the point.
But something weird is happening now. And I mean really weird. In a funny way, and despite the usual media hyperventilating it’s kind of “gone quiet”. I mean that the bullshit has now become so much like second nature, no-one up there is even bothering to grant it some kind of credibility.
Tel Aviv now “looks like Gaza” apparently.
Four “astronauts” may or may not be really up there. Everybody arguing over whether it’s “really happening”. Bigger question: Does anyone care?
“We” are “at war” with Iran over … some issue or other. Does it even matter about the “cause”. The Iranian leaders are a nasty bunch apparently. Yeah, that’ll do!
Meanwhile I see more and more internet articles that look like AI generation. The Latest has an apparent confrontation between Neil Diamond and Led Zeppelin. I saw a photo of Sinatra sitting next to Jimi Hendrix. You can scoff now but imagine 50 years’ time and all history has been trundled under AI.
And note how the scare quotes are now taking over everything now.
“Scare Quotes” ? Whadayamean ?
I mean the tendency I now have to put almost every second word in quotation marks. Because there are fewer and fewer words that mean what they used to mean.
Called ‘newspeak’. Uglification of language.
Ancient days they did a lot of work in our ground schools to teach children in phonic, tones, prefect gramma, to make language and writing sound and look a beauty.
Example: https://yandex.ru/video/preview/11790860865351248427
There is also AI generated mixed music between the most famous bands.
It sounds nice but artificial.
The feature Comput/Digital society/world become more and more disgusting in my opinion.
But the youngsters seems to like it.
You’re looking for an echo chamber and you’re in luck; OFFG has begun to resemble one in formation, with a core grouping of posters repeating the one narrative around nations not really being enemies and everything related being planned. The same core then jumps on any opposing view, irrespective of the points of argument, because to them all other debate is not required because it’s all settled and planned.
Wanting people to just agree with your PoV and not be critical of any OffG stance is exactly the opposite of what OffG supposedly stands for.
You belittle much of what is said against your PoV as being MSM talking points. Having read most comments and articles thoroughly over the last couple of months, your view is nonsense. Your post reads like someone on the Guardian comments section – terrified as they are of anything upsetting their precious, desperate need for a chamber of echoes.
Wow that seems needlessly snarky. I’m not looking for an echo chamber at all, but anyhow I would call this comment section the opposite of an echo chamber. There are a lot of contrasting opinions being expressed. Everyone has their PoV and that’s great.
I am just personally ticked by the fact there’s a lot of commenters who don’t comment on the article but just slam down a rant on their own pet subject, which often is not connected at all to what the article is about.
I don’t want everyone to agree, that would be boring, but I’d like to see more discussion of points and facts raised in the article rather than just another cycle of favorite topic rants.
I actually would not include you in that because you respond interestingly to what the article is raising, and I appreciate that even if I don’t always agree.
So, sorry if I misexpressed and offended people. I was just sharing my thoughts.
I don’t mind acknowledging a little too much snark may have crept in. Your comment read like uncritical fan mail without any points or debate re the article which was partly your issue with other comments. However, in the context of your response to my comment and clarifying your thoughts on it, I can see how you were not echo-seeking as I had initially perceived. I’m sorry I overstated that.
I am surprised they allowed your comment.
The USP perhaps needs revision if so many are disagreeing with it? What worked in the early 2000s may not necessarily work now as a paradigm
You are completely reversing the truth. OG has dropped the old pre-covid paradigm but it seems a lot of people can’t get a grip on the idea things are changing. They still talk about the things they talked about before covid which don’t seem explanatory or relevant any more.
OG is definitely on the cutting edge here. One of only a few, Iain and Hrvoje being two others, and others I can’t remember by name at the minute.
I can guarantee that most of the comments are written by Rolling Rock and his many IDs and lately appeared Robber Baron has the hallmarks of Rolling Rock with the pure ass-licking status that is needed to gain the fake upvotes. We wouldn’t put it past Rolling Rock to write himself up and you being him , Jez Graham, as well. Massive exposes have been done by others on RR and his push towards the woke right Christian MSMplus which this site does sell.
Anyone with real conspirator brains get bans from the site, they like to keep people in woke world and this site has never been skeptical meta more woke MSM plus meta keeping all the comments in the theme of cloning NO ONE allowed to have different of opinions as they find themselves deleted, censored or pended.
Comment went in pending- The Point truly proved.
What point man? I can see your comment, so can everyone else. There’s a lot more comment freedom here than most places and a lot more comments too and no pay walls, no ads or pop ups. Can you imagine how much spam they must get? If they didn’t filter comments the site would probably be swamped with porn ads and stuff and you’d be the first to complain then too I guess. Lighten up.
This petrol crisis never effected me as I only put 10 dollars in each time I fill up.

Sorry, but what? I read OG every day and I have not ever seen authors take stupid easy routes like that. What are you basing this on? In fact that’s exactly the kind of thing Kit is always calling out.
Your a bit of a billy bull shitter Jez,
Authors on this site have written they are still not made there minds up about Trump
Your Leviathan guru printed this in 2026 on this very site.
The only reason he is “slamming” them is to give the an air of legitimacy when in fact they are all globalist disinformation agents
Jez is clearly one of the team as all the replies always go into pending.
The great covid scam and related imperialism showed everyone of normal intelligence that globalism is reckless and dangerous. But the money-bags prevailed in retaining the old order.
IMF hopes to lend another $50 billion at usurious rates. The problem is that China undercuts it, lending at 4% p.a. as admitted by WB.
Interesting. Rival versions of usury. One manifestation of sin undercutting another Who will win?
Howdy folks,
Sorry for the huge off topic, but I’ve been watching the Arsemist return to earth but have missed the moneyshot of the actual ‘splashdown’. I thought that with all the super space satellite hi-tech we would have had much better coverage.It’s all fckin ridiculous of course but why don’t they just lift the thing up by helicopter and take it to a big navy ship? San Diego is a massive navy base is it not?
I’m very disappointed.
Watched it live. There were 4 helicopters involved that I observed (one for each astronaut). And not far from San Diego, though don’t recall any intermediary ship, though that may have been part of the process… I’m sure all will be revealed in due course…
And look at this in the Guardian – the excuses for ‘another’ manned ‘landing’ start…
Congratulations to the Artemis II crew – but the case for sending astronauts into space is rapidly shrinking
Soon, thanks to the advance of robots, the only reason left to send humans to the moon will be as an ultra-expensive sport, say astronomer royal Martin Rees and astrophysicist Donald Goldsmith
If you think they didn’t go to the moon, or that going to the moon isn’t worth it, listen to this: Facebook

Was the post Corona world so fantastic to be kept as an ideal forever?
No, a “big Reset” is due, just a totally different one than the WEF & co had planned, where the Schields are Rotting away.
The post-Corona world WAS the first try at the Great Reset you muppet. This next one will finish the job and it won’t make anything better. They want us all living in a world where
electricity is a luxury,
travel is a luxury,
not feeling hungry is a luxury,
privacy is a luxury
You want to live like that? Go ahead, knock yourself out mate. Turn off your power for 22 hours a day, shut down your internet, sell your car, don’t let yourself travel more than 15 minutes from your cold dark house, buy cricket flour for protein – and bingo you’ve got that big reset you want. Let us know how it works out for you.
I wrote a different Great Reset.
Healthier lifestyles, in food and sports so less medical interventions needed.
Healthier life goals, including the next life.
Simpler life: cycle to work instead of going by car and after go on the home trainer.
No, not the beggar style sanyasins, but also not the unsatisfying greedy shoppers.
Mick Jagger sung it long ago: ‘I can’t get no satisfaction, and I try, try, try …’ It will never come that way, ever.
No doubt you’ll get your reset when Iran and its allies pull the plug on the internet.

No offense but why do you come here? You obviously don’t read OG articles because you have this idea they’re MAGA Trump fanboys which they’re completely not and you would know if you read the articles before commenting.
All you and those like you seem to do is disrupt the flow of discussion with weird comments like this that either don’t make sense or mischaracterize the subject or try to make OG out to be something it isn’t. Why do you spend any time at all in your day doing that? It seems so pointless.

Some Folks are fighting back:
https://scheerpost.com/2026/04/10/anti-war-action-network-calls-for-national-day-of-action-on-tax-day/
That’s not fighting back, that’s playing along. We’re supposed to hate the war so we’ll accept the Great Reset as the only alternative. The messaging about that is already out there mate. Mass protests have never done anything anyway, unless they were organized by the ptb to get people demanding something the government was going to do already. Individually waking up to the lies is what matters, if enough people woke up they couldn’t pull half the shit they pull.
Dunno, I reckon protests reduced the length of the war in Vietnam.
Every war since has had ’embedded’ journalists, so the real story never sees the light of day.
They learned from Vietnam not to show the real story. They also seem to have learned how to channel protests into something very easily discredited, at least in their media coverage of those. They learned a draft wasn’t nearly as simple as a “volunteer” military, and they’ve helped our economy to be what it is so people will volunteer due to economics. Then they use the divisive tactic of blasting out that if no one volunteered there would be no wars to keep up endless specious arguments on that, but of course our owners always have much higher paid mercenaries to do their dirty work when necessary.
As for those protests shortening the Vietnam war, maybe. But it sure wasn’t a very short war considering “we” were there for at least 10 years, probably longer. And it was known by the PTB at the time that war was unwinnable but did it anyway. Was Vietnam really a failure? Or was it too part of an overall long agenda? That war sure did amp up the division, and in many ways it helped cement the fallacy that we actually have two separate parties with different agendas. Seems that is now falling apart just a bit, but when we look at how those two parties seem to be divided amongst themselves, the old game of divide and rule is more robust than ever.
Wars are never really won
For in the end we all lose

Every leader stands accused.

Look. I know that there are all sorts of problems with solar power and wind power and tide power and water power, etc. (There are no problems with conservation/efficiency, but nobody likes it–probably for that very reason–problems mean better scams). And that local, individualized, small solar and wind etc., is better than Big Solar and Wind. But you better hope that they start using it one way or another anyway. Because I don’t think it is in anybody’s interest to have the entire world dependent on one tiny little spot in the middle of nowhere which for geographical reasons can be bottled up and stoppered at a moment’s notice any time somebody wants to. You might want your energy production a tad more diversified, whether you like the available diversities or not. Just sayin’
Totally wrong mate.
1 – Most renewables are inefficient compared with fossil fuels. Solar is not bad and getting better, wind is terrible and so is water. Don’t believe the bullshit in the media which twists the facts, talk to people in the industries.
2 – only about 20% of the world’s oil comes through the Strait of Hormuz and quite a bit of that could find alternative routes.
3 – you can’t make hardware out of renewables. Oil isn’t just about power stations, it’s also the basis of most modern manufacturing.
4 – why are you spitting out bloody stupid mainstream talking points like a bot?
I thought zionist Israel started it, man. Why all this talk about it being America’s war and no mention of them? I don’t get it. America is just controlled by them and does what’s it’s told. Maybe they’re just trying to avoid saying that.
No, you don’t understand. It was started by agreement of all sides to give the pretext for economic collapse and the introducing of the New Normal and Build Back Better. Even the bombing is directed strategically on yo derelict houses and building projects in need of clearance, which is why so few pictures of the destruction can be found. This is not the old fashioned war it’s a new kind where the bangs are all preplanned.
Ya, and those school children were just our imagination running wild. OK, so no more mention of zionism and Greater Israel on Off Guardian. Got it. I’m in, man. Besides, all those fucking zionism genocide supporters keep giving me thumbs down. I’m tired of that so I’ll toe the line from now on and stick with the narrative. It’s the globalists and they’re all in it together to create the New World Order where you will own nothing and be happy. I got it now.
Could very well be scripted “Creative Destruction” by the accelerationist technocrat supporters behind the Trump/Vance administration

How many of those school kids did you ever see? What proof do you have it ever happened? Do you believe all the atrocity stories you get told or just the ones that fit with your mindset?
I bet you don’t think the October 7 bullshit was real, right? Yeah,I agree it was fake as shit. But you believe everything you’re told about Israeli atrocities because you hate them. That’s why they want you taking sides because it rots your brain and makes you a gullible idiot to any story that makes the people you hate look bad.
I know Jews who are the same as you but in reverse. Doesn’t occur to any of you that maybe most of the atrocity stories on both sides are just bullshit propaganda to manipulate you.
Don’t you get it? They tell you about these atrocities to get your emotions going and shut down your critical thinking. You can’t get past the images they put in your brain of all those dead kids. That’s it for you. You’ve forgotten you never saw ut happen, you don’t know anyone who died. You’ve got no proof at all it ever happened.
You’re just taking it on trust, because you don’t believe Iran would tell porkies. But why not? Israel tells porkies and makes up terror attacks. The US tells porkies and makes up terror attacks, Oz tells porkies and makes up terror attacks, UK tells porkies and makes up terror attacks. So why wouldn’t Iran?
You’re blinded by your prejudice mate and doing their work for them.
Prejudice? Fuck that. That’s bullshit, mate.
At least one of the explosions in London was real because I heard it.
The problem is not that you mention zionist Israel or that you call out their many crimes. The problem is you never see anything but zionist Israel. You can’t see beyond or above them. And you can’t accept they may not be the ultimate power you have been persuaded they are.
You can’t see for example that Netanyahu has obviously been rage-baiting the anti-zionist movement for the past few years with acts (or alleged acts) of such self-defeating vileness that the only possible explanation is they are being done deliberately to polarise and divide.
There is no political or strategic advantage for Israel in bombing Gaza for the length of time it has. It’s not being done for Israel’s benefit. It’s being done purely for the effect it will have on the public mind. But your (justified) loathing of zionism blinds you to this fact and the larger picture it hints at.
Briefly – it’s obvious Bibi is not pursuing his country’s interests, any more than Putin was when he invaded Ukraine. They are all pursuing another set of undeclared interests just as they were during the covid scam. And those interests revolve around phony multipolarity, federalised world government and the impoverishment of the western world.
Like I said Robber, I’ve seen the light, man. I agree with you. Didn’t you read my comment? Zionism supporters like you have the place. Congrats.
And no attacks on Lebanon from Israel when told to do so by the US. How does that even work? A conundrum for sure
The vermin state infesting Palestine has produced so many outrageous excuses for a century. Any day now, I expect it to blame Iran for bombing Lebanon.
Not sure that Iran has ever attacked Lebanon per se, at least not militarily. Perhaps subversively. So indirectly, yes
I-ran conflict or West Ai-ze conflict is a put-down to tell the “civilized world”: Nothing to see here; move along and just pay your taxes.
The Enemies Within are those who either see The War as opportunities
to make oodles of money while The War continues, or see opportunities
for Making Money if The War can be ended… They are not Patriots, They
are Maggots…
And what of those who don’t actually need any of your dirty money?
They can just stay out and leave the laundry to us.
As for the hyperventilating headlines, they’re the norm now. Well, if you can have a moderately warm summer billed as the deadliest heat “the planet” has ever faced, a sneeze flogged as The End of the World, and bearded frocked guys posing as a persecuted “female” minority”, then clearly you can set the news headlines to a random word generator.
ok, that one was beyond me. What the bleep were you on about (if anythihg)?
I can understand his point very well, what is beyond you? I’m from Utrecht by the way but my English is quite good.
The Dutch from my experience are exceptionally good at English. But whether that helps any philosophical investigation worth bothering with, of course another matter entirely
I have no idea what YOU are talking about. Are you AI?
I think he’s been got at !
OT: So is everything moon-related still all fake…?
https://www.youtube.com/@NASA/streams
Fake or not, everything moon-related is still irrelevant to anything anyone gives a shit about.
Not so sure, given that the whole world is watching. Anyway time will tell (we can all comment in retrospect if not)….
Most of the whole world doesn’t give a stuff mate, and yes it’s all fake.
I doubt if anyone is watching. Unless of course you’re AI.
Who needs Retrospective vision ? George’ s statement was clearly incorrect, just ask any professional Mariner ! High Tides are not irrelevant and if the pair of you smashed your heads together on the rocks, of the dying Ebb@HighTide, it might occur to you , looking up 👆 that the moon was full and had some PULL over Everything-everything 😂 after all … to the Core. ✌
No military secret that the military in Iran study this for Millenia…
Yes it is relevant. To everybody. Including you. If you watched this, you would understand why: Facebook
Nope.
You know, you can’t see the stars in the photographs because the spacecraft is out in the sunlight. Can you see the stars in the daytime on earth? Well, out there, it is constant daytime. You can only see the stars when they take a picture of the dark side of the moon, with the moon eclipsing the sunlight, allowing the starlilght to shine through–just like nighttime on earth.
And so, any of the arrogant dopes who are whining “You can’t see stars! You can’t see stars!” are just arrogant dopes who are to ignorant to do a little simple research.
Indeed. Or just ignorant of camera exposures and basic light levels. What do they know
Yes. All of it.
The government Age Pension in Australia is indexed to Cost of Living rises. My
Crystal Ball sees the government using “The Energy Crisis” to cut pensioners
adrift – end indexation – as a “rational choice”… It cannot invoke “market forces”
as determinants, though it certainly will frame its action as an ‘ethical’ or ‘moral
choice’, And, anyway, “We owe it to Future Generations” is a reliable standby…
(“Morality” does some heavy lifting these days – and it always comes to order)…
Slashing the pension would result in too many lost votes les.
Don’t think it will happen.
And once again that odious little front liner for the goon squad, Konstantin Kisin, gets trotted out to make sure you get the message:
https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/2042620727606526163
Listen to him:
Translated: Most people haven’t “understood”.
This needs no translation. It’s climate necromancy. The new magic language to “dignify” the assault from above.
Nobody wastes any time thinking “we are saving the planet” because they know that’s as fantastically vacuous as all previous mythological claims and indeed on a par with thinking that the reciting of a prayer will stop the sun from rising tomorrow. Nobody is fretting over 0.1 percent of the emission of yeah whatever.
And clearly knowing that all this rama-lama-ding-dong won’t bother anyone, our Konstantin moves onto The Meat:
See? It won’t matter if you all persist in your “troublesome obtuseness” here. Because soon you will feel it in your pocket. And you won’t be able to afford your life anymore!
Know what I mean heh heh?
The Camus guy who is tweeting this mafia message is even more candid:
Did you catch that? No more “better science or arguments” i.e. no more idle threats. No more words. From now on you’re going to have to put up with reality i.e. our reality.
And here’s the best bit:
Hear that? “Economic pain”! Heh heh! And it will take that to force an “honest conversation” i.e. wake you up to what we really mean!
Also note that “honest conversation we’ve been avoiding”.
“We’ve” been avoiding? Oh you little tease! It isn’t you who has “been avoiding” anything. It’s us who have not been responding in the requisite way. So you’re going to make sure we get forced into this “honest conversation”.
LOL that one translates as “teacher’s gonna read the rules, again” in a really stern voice. In essence this has been all that the whole rhetorical apparatus rests on. Problem being that if teacher sends a few too many kids to naughty corner the whole thing tips over into farce.
Which is what we’re seeing. But as Kit says, on a set that was thoroughly dressed beforehand.
mise en scene
When your pockets are empty, you suddenly become like everybody else. An ordinary person who are dependent on other people.
“Dirty fuel”……………sigh 😩 .
Conversation is one of those plastic words used these days to denote teacher reading out the rules. See also e.g. consultation, review, etc. mere discursive smoke and mirrors.
This war against Iran will define generations if the US is kicked out of the Middle East entirely and Israel is soundly thrashed and forced to withdraw into its 1967 borders and leave its neighbors alone. That’s a lot of work but it is the goal of Iran because Iran knows full well that if the US and Israel are left in tact by some peace agreement, they will be making war against all the neighbors in the middle east, including Iran, in a short space of time.
If the Middle East is freed of the criminal aggressions of the US and Israel, it probably will be peaceful for generations. All of the Guld Arab states will no longer have to pay huge sums of money to the US for protection.
I strongly hope this comes to pass.
No. Israel must become dust in the wind or all is lost.
We will build back better, meaning we have to destroy first.
Well, Jiang predicts US will be get kicked out of ME, but surprisingly that Israel will substitute US as the major power hub of ME.
Iran and Israel will mend relations and connections and trade together.
Everybody wants Israel in the toilet, but some predicts their future otherwise.
Which “our generation” is being mentioned ? Boomer ? X ? Y? Z ? Are we all
in it together ?**
“
Dont mention The War”Let’s not call it a War. Russia does Special MilitaryOps (SMO), The USA onslaughts against Korea (1950s). Vietnam (1960s)
were “Police Actions”… The US started out calling its latest Crusade “Regime
Change”, but officially doesnt call it a War. Maybe it’s “Strategic Ambiguity” ?
But let’s not call it A War, especially because it confuses all those who are
certain they know what War is…
** Australia has lent an AWACS, so the Aussies are in it, for sure !
And why not? If you lose there are still some good beaches worth visiting. Just sayin’..
Did Aussies know they have a spare AWACS? Is it somehow special that it will not be destroyed like the rest?
Pending…
Iraq and Afghanistan changed all forms of travel and created the surveillance state and normalized
the CCTV madness we see everywhere now.
The Israeli USA war is the cover up the ricochet covid cost, just like Ukraine Russia was the reason
why there was no benefit for the Brexit breakup.
“Generation Covid” (or Gen C) is a term used by researchers, marketers, and media to describe the cohort of children and young adults whose formative years—education, social lives, and worldview—have been significantly shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated lockdowns.
There telling you, like covid expect the recession and no one else could of done this better
than this blogs frav MIGA MAGA Trump.
Many children lost some schooling needlessly. Infants and toddlers raised by/around masked adults were harmed in mental development.
1. In New Zealand the crude oil price rise of US25 cents per litre should have lifted our fuel price by NZ50 – 60 cents per litre. The price has risen by over NZ$1-00. Our Government says it is watching to ensure no price gouging by oil companies. As usual watching with eyes shut.
In the 1970’s oil prices rose 1700% over 10 years. Get ready for that again. Price rises are here to stay.
2. The war is not over. This ceasefire was essential for Israel because it was running out of intercept missiles. They need to rearm. The Iranians were stupid enough to give them that chance. It is a 10 day pause. Our only hope for long term peace is that this is not enough time to rearm Israel.
Iranians not so stupid. One cheap drone for every million dollar Israeli/US missile.Go figure…
Your fiat petro dollar payment is an illusion when the whole world pays USA for its excessive military and its Tomahawk missiles.
You could even say that Iran and co pays for US filling up Israel’s missile reserves.
So if Iran thinks like you, they would surely be stupids 😅 .
No price gouging?
Isn’t that how Capital$chi$m works?
Its probably China and not Iran who pull these strings. Then it makes more sense.
OT: A splashdown or a burn-up down. Which will it prove to be? Or just everything’s fake anyway, regardless…
It’s all hype.
Remember during Bush we had 5+ gas….
That would be 8 dollars today.
I could still afford it. Therefore its not a problem. The poor can use a donkey or the bus.
Next?
What better way to propel us towards “net zero” than a big war and an energy crisis. This planned process, however, may be more like the “year zero” proclaimed by the Khmer Rouge.
I don’t know what the overall end goal is, but for the immediate future all I see is profiteering from all sectors of business, food – fuel – and just about everything will rise, and it will all be blamed on Iran – if nothing else the war on Iran will make those businesses that are big enough to survive a right good profit at our expense, the same trope was rolled out with Covid-19 – prices up, its Covid fault, can’ see a dentist or doctor face to face – its Covid’s fault – we no longer use paper forms, and you can’t speak to anyone face to face or online, (unless of course its a chatbot) you MUST do it online, and all this and more happened after the “pandemic” was well over.
Well, there’s certainly a fair bit of profiteering. Those with the odd billion dollars or so to spare on the odd flutter or so. A cool 15 billion or so if it works out: Perhaps a given?

Iran’s goals have been pretty clear. From the start it has published its demands. Israel has no demands, other than it wants the US to do to Iran what it did to Libya or what Israel has done to Gaza. Trump’s 15 point plan has never been published and many reporters think it never existed. Trump only talked about it and said he’d given it to Iran via Pakistan. But no one has seen it.
Here’s Iran’s 10 point demands. These have been around since the start on Feb. 28. Iran have given them to Trump many times. These are demands, not negotiating points. Iran will continue to bomb the snot out of Israel until the US meets these demands.
1. An American guarantee of nonaggression with Iran.
2. Iran maintains control of the Strait of Hormuz.
3. Ending the regional war on all fronts, including against Iran’s ally, Hezbollah, in Lebanon.
4. Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all bases and positions in the region.
5. Reparations to Iran for war damages.
6. Acceptance of Iran’s right to nuclear enrichment.
7. Lifting all primary sanctions on Iran.
8. Lifting all secondary sanctions on Iran.
9. Termination of all resolutions against Iran by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
10. Termination of all United Nations Security Council resolutions against Iran.
(these are from the NYTimes which has re-written them somewhat from the original Farsi and Iranian phrasing. #3 Iran wants Israel to withdraw its military from all its neighbors — Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, Gaza, Yemen.)
Trump really wants out of this war. He’s got the World Cup coming to the US in the summer and congressional elections in November. He’s only in it because Satanyahu has him by the balls and is giving him orders.
There’s no reason for Iran to stop pounding the snot out of Israel. It’s “iron dome” is more like Swiss Cheese, and its cities have no defense. At some point, both Satanyahu and Trump will cry “uncle” and beg to stop the war.
And the abolishment of “Israel,” and the re-establishment of Palestine atop its bones where it belongs.
Thank you for that Robert, the US went into this illegal war on Iran without a game plan, I think Trump thought that it would be as easy as it was capturing Maduro in Venezuela, however – Iran as you say has a plan and knows what it wants, for me the US and Israel cannot be trusted and they will renege on any deal at a later date.
Sky news saying that the US has taken around 300 advisors and delegates – to the negotiations in Islamabad.
The financial cartel always takes down empires lest they become too powerful, they’re not stupid and it’s very easy- look around you.
