Understanding Iran – (Very simply - you want $20 per gallon gas? Allow Trump to let DaUS attack Iran on behalf of DaSynagogue of Satan......and see what comes next. - CL)

 https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2026/01/19/understanding-iran/ 

Watching the 2026 Tehran protestors is much like watching the 2020 George Floyd riots in Minneapolis or Portland. It would be easy to assume that the riots of 2020 were an indication that the United States wanted Trump deposed. Obviously, that was not the case. The real divide was between radical leftwing rioters – likely led by an internal color revolution – and your average American citizen who simply wants the country he once enjoyed in the 1980s or 90s. The difference between downtown Seattle and the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Knoxville, or Cincinnati may have been lost on outsider observers, but ordinary Americans know the difference. The same can be said for Iran. The protests of radicals in Tehran are not the generally shared views of the rest of Iran. The rest of “God & Country” Iran have ideals formed by the theological and ethnic constructs I described earlier. The world may see protests against a repressive theocracy. Your average Iranian sees protests led by external forces who seek to attack protectors of their very existence. They have never lost to such forces, even when the odds were against them.

In November 2004, I had the privilege of leading a small team in a wargame as the “leader of Iran,” against approximately 300 of the US Departments of Defense (DOD) and State’s (DOS) best thinkers on regional security. Our little eight person team defeated the United States so badly that by the end of the scenario, the US balkanized along politically sectarian lines, gas prices were nearly $20 a gallon, the US dollar was no longer the reserve currency, the US was demilitarized, and all of the American territories were taken to satisfy global war debt, as well as Hawaii and Alaska. What did I do to make this happen? My team sat back and waited for the Americans to take the bait and invade me. American strategic leadership does not understand the Iranian mindset or its unique construct. Israel does, but it does not care what happens to the United States. When the Americans lose in another regime-change war, like a parasite that killed its first host, it will just attach itself to a new host.

Trump bloviates all the time about all manner of things, but when you get down to it there's not a chigger's worth of difference in the material expansion of the screwing you are taking under either him or Biden.  The tariff revenue has been entirely swallowed by the expansion in deficit spending and Bessent is 100% full of **** and he knows it as the MTS comes straight out of his department.

How much more of this **** will be absorbed before the inevitable occurs?

It would be wise for the FERAL Government to cut this **** out across the board and enforce the law when it comes to employment, health care and similar -- collapsing the cost of living.  Yes, the dislocation economically (and in the****et markets) would be monstrous and severe but left alone it would also clear within months and stop the degeneration of American society which, if not addresses, will eventually lead to either collapse or outright revolt and in either case it will not be peaceful and no, there is no****et class in which you can hide and escape from it either.

This is not the unrest of the 1960s or the LA Riots.  Those were not precipitated by flooding the nation with people who simply cannot perform at American standards and refuse to****imilate, thus they steal for a living, nor the concurrent felonious acts of large corporate entities who's activity has been unlawful for more than a hundred years yet they're given effective license to screw every American by willful disregard by the very government that expects you not to attack them and pay an ever-increasing amount of forced extraction that is then stolen, not used for anything of benefit to society as a whole.  That is the root of all of this and it is more like the 1860s than any other time in American History.

We either fix it now or you and your children will be lucky to live through it.

The Legacy of Greenland - Vox Popoli

 As I have often said, for all his undeniable shortcomings, and despite the very genuine doubts concerning who is playing his role in front of the cameras, President Trump is the second-greatest US President, after Andrew Jackson. And it’s true that if he succeeds in claiming Greenland for the USA, it will reflect very, very positively on his legacy over time:

If Donald Trump were to consummate a purchase of Greenland, he would almost certainly secure a place in both American and global history. Beyond the spectacle, the scale alone would be staggering. Greenland spans roughly 2.17 million square kilometers – making it comparable in size to the entire Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and larger than the 1867 Alaska Purchase. Fold that landmass into today’s United States and America’s total area would jump past Canada, placing the US second only to Russia in territorial size. In a system where size, resources, and strategic depth still matter, such a shift would be read around the world as an assertion of enduring American reach.

Prestige is only part of the story. Greenland sits astride the Arctic, where warming seas are reshaping trade routes and great‑power competition. It hosts critical radar and space‑tracking infrastructure and lies close to emerging maritime lanes and subsea resources. Its geology, long discussed for rare earths and other critical minerals, adds a layer of economic promise. For a president who measures success in visible, audacious strokes, the symbolism of converting a long‑mooted idea into a concrete map change would be irresistible – and historically resonant.

How would Trump be remembered at home if he pulled it off peacefully, through purchase? American memory tends to fix on outcomes, not process. The Louisiana Purchase is celebrated for doubling the young nation, not for the constitutional scruples it raised at the time. The Alaska Purchase, derided as “Seward’s Folly,” is now taught as strategic foresight. The sheer scale of Greenland would make it the single largest one‑time expansion of US territory, narrowly edging out Louisiana in raw area. That alone would place any president in the pantheon of consequential leaders; Trump would likely be discussed in the same breath as Jefferson and, by sheer magnitude of territorial change, alongside the transformative figures students learn first.

I think those who doubt that Trump is serious about claiming sovereignty over Greenland are failing to take this legacy aspect into account. History doesn’t care about borders, the international rule of law, or the modern pretensions about inviolable nature of political boundaries. It doesn’t even care much about whether a man is regarded as good, bad, or stupid in his own time.

The best way to look at it is if this move will benefit President Trump personally in some way, and considering the way in which it will seal his historic importance, I don’t see him backing down on it short of a direct order from whomever he serves.

The Confirmation of IGM - Vox Popoli

 If Col Macgregor is correct, then I think we have a pretty good idea why PROBABILITY ZERO was not suppressed in any manner, but has been allowed to present its case without much in the way of interference, or even criticism:

BREAKING: Bank of England told to prepare for a market crash if the United States announces Alien Life. Helen McCaw who served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank sounded the alarm. She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organize contingencies for the possibility that the White House may confirm we are not alone in the universe.

https://voxday.net/2026/01/18/the-confirmation-of-igm/ 

This would explain a lot of anomalies about all the high weirdness that has surrounded geopolitics over the last 2-3 years, from the fake Bidens and Trumps to the bizarre imperial expansionism of the fake Trump administration.

The thing is, the discovery of alien-human interaction has been pretty close to inevitable ever since the onset of full genome mapping. Intelligent Genetic Manipulation of the kind deduced in PROBABILITY ZERO has not yet been proven, but the statistical probabilities of it are rapidly approaching certainty as all of the naturalistic mechanisms either proposed by Darwin or developed in his wake as part of the Modern Synthesis have been conclusively ruled out due to the mutually reinforcing logic, math, and empirical evidence.

Once genetic scientists are able to look closely enough at anomalies such as the split chromosome and other indicators of genetic engineering that we now know to have almost certainly taken place at some point in the past, they’re going to discover some high-tech version of our existing CRISPR technology.

And they may already be able to identify it; if I have learned one thing from my forays into the biological sciences, it is that scientists are the very last people who are going to discover very big things outside their little boxes, because they are the very definition of people who can’t see the forest for the bark on one specific tree. We can’t reasonably assume that they don’t have the technology to identify it because they’ve literally never even considered looking for it, much less engaged in a systematic and methodical search for the signs of it.

At least, not as far as we’ve been informed, anyhow. Either way, we’re much closer to the empirical confirmation of IGM than the mathematicians of Wistar were to the empirical confirmation of the impossibility of evolution by natural selection and neutral drift in 1966.

And remember, it’s not going to be as simple as aliens = demons or not. There are a whole range of various possibilities and combinations, so if you’re going to seriously contemplate these sorts of things, you absolutely need to set both your dogmatic assumptions and your binary thinking aside.

Greenland for Ukraine - Vox Popoli

 https://voxday.net/2026/01/17/greenland-for-ukraine/ 

So now, of course, the Europeans are trying to pivot toward Moscow, as they belatedly realize that while Russia is an indirect threat to them, the USA is a direct and material one.

Western European leaders who have spent the last four years flooding Ukraine with every tank, shell, and missile they could get their hands on came out this week in favor of diplomacy and peaceful coexistence with Russia. Was this week a turning point, or just a brief moment of sobriety on the continent?

It’s a turning point because they finally realized that they’re actually going to lose territory to the USA, not to Russia. It’s a masterful stroke by the USA, since there is absolutely nothing Denmark or the EU can do about it, except accept the fait accompli when it happens.

They don’t seem to have ever realized that the end of the fake “rules-based world order” means that no one is going to bother pretending to play by the fake rules anymore.

Should A Christian Be A Zionist? - by Scipio Eruditus

 Ancient Israel was a covenant people founded by God through Abraham, confirmed at Sinai, and governed by the Torah and the Levitical priesthood. The term Hebrew traces back to Eber, the forefather of Abraham. The term Israelite refers specifically to the descendants of Jacob. The term Jew comes much later — Biblically, it designates someone from the kingdom of Judah after the scattering of the ten northern tribes (a fact which I address at length in The Judeo-Christian Paradox, Part II). To confuse these terms is to commit a category error with dreadfully serious consequences.

Even the editors of The Jewish Almanac acknowledge this linguistic and historical discontinuity (emphasis mine):

Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a “Jew” or to call a contemporary Jew an “Israelite” or a “Hebrew.” The first Hebrews may not have been Jews at all, and contemporary Palestinians by their own definition of the term “Palestinian,” have to include Jews among their own people…

― The Jewish Almanac (1980), Pg. 3

Christian Zionists can claim until they are blue in the face that the modern Israeli state shares some kind of continuity with ancient Israel. This despite the fact it has no temple, no high priest, no Ark, and no atonement. Its faith is not the faith of Moses or Abraham.

For over a century, Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism have operated like a parasite in the bloodstream of Christianity. Its progenitors have fed off of ignorance, manipulated sincere faith, and reprogrammed entire denominations to see the modern state of Israel not as what it is — a secular ethnostate founded by terrorists — but as what it never was: the fulfillment of God’s promises. If American Christians remain useful idiots for Zionism, then they too bear the bloodguilt for what comes next.

As should be abundantly clear by this point, in no way can Zionism be called a Christian doctrine, let alone a moral imperative. The modern nation of Israel is not a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. It is, and always has been, an ethnostate rooted in the rabbinic rejection of Christ, nourished by Rothschild finances, and marketed to the Church through bad exegesis and emotional blackmail. And to think that its defenders dare to quote Genesis 12:3 while their object of devotion curses the very One through whom that blessing has been fulfilled.

The promises of God were never based on race. Being born a Jew means nothing if you reject Christ. Christian Zionism teaches the opposite. It says the land, the blessings, the favor of God still belong to ethnic Jews, regardless of their unbelief. It treats a secular government as sacred and demands unconditional loyalty to a state built by atheists and maintained by U.S. taxpayers.

The kingdom was taken from ethnic Israel and given to a people bearing its fruits (Matthew 21:43). That people is the Church. That’s who the promises belong to.

Not to a modern state. Not to a race.

So, Zionist, choose wisely the Israel whom you will bless.

First Aiding Down and Dirty Science Too Simple for Complicated Minds - LewRockwell

 Before I ever think about the hassle and expense of emergency rooms, pharma-trained doctors or trips to the drug store for easily treatable problems, I deal with them at home.

And before problems arise, they are best prevented by keeping a strong immune system, a healthy careful lifestyle and a fearless attitude.

An holistic approach to health and healing involves correcting nutrition, detoxification of metals, restoring mineral/electrolyte balances, supplementing deficiencies, initiating appropriate lifestyle habits and perhaps most importantly establishing emotional equanimity by reducing stress and improving perception of life in general.

Standard medical practice ignores these factors and attempts to pinpoint the source of individual symptoms and apply a cookie-cutter recipe of drugs to 150,000 “diseases” while ignoring the overall condition of the human organism.  This usually results in a mix of side effects requiring additional pharmaceutical intervention(s).  It’s like a mechanic who keeps replacing one part after another, yet the car still doesn’t run right.

True cures cannot be achieved logically through such a temporary slapdash piecemeal symptom-oriented approach.  Emergency interventions may buy time, but end-results of treatments of chronic illness are dismal as with statins, SSRI antidepressants, antiinflammatories, chemotherapies, vaccine injuries, etc.etc.,…and screams of the FAILURE of PREVENTION and PHARMACEUTICAL APPROACH!......

Dr. Fauci did everything possible to dismiss actual remedies for the covid virus he helped create.  While waiting for a deadly mRNA vaccine, he promoted deadly Remdesivir and intubation via ventilators, while he magnified fear and dismissed ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, sodium chlorite, hydrogen peroxide/NAC nebulization, Vitamins C & D,…. that worked for “rogue” physicians!   The population, being fully terrorized by our “trusted” networks, went absolutely f”nuts!  Seeing this global fiasco playout along with countless billions funneled to pharma, one would have to be a total dumbass to not be skeptical of modern “health”care.  

.

Prevention;

.

Nutrition, sunshine, exercise and a positive outlook top the list. Supplementation with certain vitamins and minerals is also key to self-maintenance.

.

We have become a country of deficiencies!  Not only of cash due to enforced servitude via money printing and inflation; we are deficient in the truth about everything.

We lack quality proteins, fats, fruits and vegetables thanks to modern industrial chemical agriculture,… and that’s why I grow my own.

.

Our scurvacious nation is beset with heart disease, dementia, stroke, osteoporosis, gingivitis, arthritis, depression and cancer.  We do not get enough Vitamin C, we do not know how to take it or why.  (Our planet is in similar distress due to “overeducated scientific idiots” wielding technologies they don’t understand,…like the proverbial “monkey with a machine gun.”)
