The Great Iran Lie and the Persian Gulf Catastrophe - Stockman

 The whole insanely reckless act of launching a sweeping military attack on a nation of 90 million people that had zero capacity to impose military harm on the home territory of the United States is predicated on one of the Great Big Stinking Lies of History namely, that the Iranian regime is a uniquely evil stain on the face of the earth and has spent 47 years bringing injury, mayhem, and death to America and much of the region around it.......

....it was the unnecessary and avoidable fallout from consistently taking sides with Israel against these regional foes that gave rise to the hoary myth that Iran has murdered more than 1,000 Americans over the 47 years since the Revolution. Yet a simple fact check conducted by Grok 4 at our request debunks this endlessly chanted claim lock, stock, and barrel.

Here are the key realities:

• Not one of the 1,050 American deaths during this period occurred on American soil.
• Exactly 1,041 of these deaths occurred at the hands of alleged Iranian proxies versus only 9 attributable to the Iranian military or other government agencies.
• Fully 1,000 or 96% of the American deaths happened in the context of U.S. military deployments to the region and the resulting active wars and peacekeeping activities in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and adjacent territories and coastal waters.

That’s right. Not one of these U.S. military deployments from the Beirut Marine barracks forward was necessary for America’s homeland security. To the contrary, all were elective wars undertaken in pursuit of the imperatives of Empire.

Accordingly, the resulting deaths are due to putting American military and civilian personnel wrongfully in harm’s way— and most especially from taking sides in local and regional military conflicts that were none of Washington’s business.

In short, the 1,000 American deaths chant is completely and hideously wrong because these figures resulted from Washington-initiated military actions in the Mideast that were wholly unjustified; and, consequently, put American lives in harm’s way against local people who had reason to defend themselves from actual or potential U.S. military assault......

.....indeed, even if you consider these unfortunate deaths as abstract statistics without context or blame, there is absolutely no cause to start a quasi-world war in the Persian Gulf, which supplies a crucial share of the world’s crude oil, refined petroleum, LPGs, liquefied natural gas, industrial sulfur, and helium crucial to semiconductor chip production, among others.

To the contrary, the unhinged madman domiciled in the all-powerful Oval Office has the region, the U.S., and the global economy on the edge of catastrophic upheaval based on an utterly untruthful narrative about 1,050 American deaths during the last 47 years that were far exceeded by the ordinary course accidents and hazards of daily life in America during that same period, such as fatalities from:

• Powered Lawnmower Accidents: 3,200 deaths.
• Bee Stings: 3,900 deaths.
• Falling out of Bed: 10,300 deaths.
• Visiting Mexico: 4,000 Americans murdered there.
• Lightning strikes: 2,000 deaths.
• Cardiac arrest during sex: 8,000 deaths.

Iran Survives Terrorist War And Emerges A Major Power Broker, by Tim Anderson - The Unz Review

 

Tim Anderson for Black Agenda Report.

Tim Anderson tours Iran during the US-Israeli war, showing different scenes from the terrorist targeting of civilians.

He contends Iran has emerged with greater regional leverage, especially through its control over the Strait of Hormuz.

The unprovoked war against Iran by the USA and “Israel” has failed in spectacular fashion, with the Israeli colony in tatters, Washington looking for a way out while Iran holds the upper hand in peace “negotiations” proposed by Pakistan. Further, Tehran’s newly asserted control over shipping traffic passing into and out of the Persian Gulf (which neither the USA nor anyone else can shake) has given it tremendous new economic leverage.

Furthermore, the Iranian population has held together strongly under an extensive series of strikes on mainly civilian targets, which began with the assassination of the former Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the murder of 168 people, mainly schoolgirls, at the primary school in Minab, in southern Iran. This coherence underwrites the stability and future of the Islamic Republic......

Round 4 - Vox Popoli

 It appears the Epstein Alliance has finished resupplying and reloading and is going to take its fourth crack at Iran since last summer. It will be interesting to discover which side has made more profitable use of the latest ceasefire.

The Trump administration is setting the stage to renew its attack on Iran. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Friday that the “Iranians reached out” and requested an “in-person meeting,” so President Trump “dispatched Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to go hear what they have to say.” This is a complete fabrication.

https://voxday.net/2026/04/25/round-4/ 

I see absolutely no likelihood that the fourth round of attacks will be any more successful than the previous three rounds. And I am half-convinced that the main reason the Iranians haven’t seriously tried to sink the US carriers is because they wanted to get as many of them in the kill zone as possible before they target them.

The missile-attrition angle is objectively part of Iran’s strategic logic, whether Iran planned the current concentration or merely benefits from it. The cost-exchange ratio is brutal: Iranian ballistic missiles at ~$100K–$1M per unit against SM-3 Block IIA interceptors at ~$27M, with US production rates for the high-end interceptors in the low dozens per year. THAAD and SM-6 stocks have been drawn down hard across the 2024 Houthi engagements, the 2025 Twelve-Day War, and now six weeks of sustained interception. The US cannot replenish at engagement tempo. Every additional carrier group in theater is another defensive perimeter consuming from the same finite magazine, which inverts the usual logic of concentration — more carriers means each individual carrier’s defensive budget shrinks, not grows.

Hence the parallel to the Sicilian Expedition.

Athens projected decisive naval power into confined waters far from home. The initial campaign achieved tactical effects without strategic decision. Nicias’s letter warned that the fleet was degrading and Athens should either withdraw or massively reinforce — Athens chose reinforcement. Syracuse, backed by a major-power ally (Sparta, via Gylippus), had turned the Great Harbor into a kill box by the time Demosthenes arrived. The concentration created by reinforcement was precisely what made the trap work. The hegemon was effectively broken by one engagement in waters it could not leave gracefully.

Current situation: six-week campaign destroyed Iranian nuclear and leadership targets without producing strategic capitulation. Hormuz closed. Ford already past normal deployment length per CNN. Decision to reinforce with third carrier rather than withdraw. Russia and China providing ISR (satellite kill-chain support against mobile naval targets is the classic gap in Iran’s capabilities, and closing that gap is exactly what a major-power ally would provide). Hormuz is the Great Harbor.

Iranian strategic writing, drawing on both Islamic precedent and Sun Tzu-adjacent thinking via Chinese military exchange, explicitly privileges sabr and drawing the adversary onto defender-favorable terrain. Accepting the ceasefire while continuing Hormuz harassment fits patient-ambusher doctrine cleanly: conserve offensive munitions, probe defenses, keep the kill chain warm, let the hegemon commit further.

What would falsify it: Iran escalating to maximalist Hormuz action before the third carrier is fully in position, i.e. before the bait is fully set. What would confirm it: a period of continued attritional pressure — commercial shipping incidents, minelaying indicators, drone-boat probes — while the high-end anti-ship inventory (submarines, ASBM regiments, smart mines) remains conspicuously unused until the US force posture maximally exposes it.

Week In Review #068: 19APR - 25APR26 - by Scipio Eruditus

 Unless America and Israel are willing to destroy the world’s economy through total war in the Gulf, Iran is not going to be toppled. This is a very important distinction, because at this point it is clear that we will need massive economic chaos to usher in Agenda 2030: the people are not going to go quietly into so many of their digital prison camps.

Our main focus this week is what I consider a rather illuminating story: the Southern Poverty Law Center being indicted for fraud. Eleven counts — wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. The allegation at the center of it all: the organization secretly funneled more than $3 million in donor money — money given explicitly to fight so-called “white supremacy” — to various ethno-nationalist groups. That is the very definition of fraud.

But buried inside that indictment is a detail that dwarfs even the financial crimes themselves. Because what it reveals is a closed loop: create the conditions, inflate the numbers, and then profit off the increase in those very things. The much more salient issue of course is that the SPLC is not the only group trafficking in this kind of behavior. Indeed, I’ve discussed in my Sons of the Covenant series how the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith engages in much of the same conduct. There are numerous provable hoaxes that they continue to put in their statistics — numbers that inflate the perception and make the non-issue of anti-Semitism, particularly violent anti-Semitism, appear as something far more pervasive than it actually is. The ADL and her sister organizations have millions of financial and political incentives to make it appear as if the rise of Hitlerism has begun again in America.

How DMSO Heals the Brain and Transforms Neurology

 The extensive evidence behind DMSO's ability to treat 'incurable' neurological diseases — and how to use it

Story at a Glance:

• DMSO is an “umbrella remedy” capable of treating a wide range of challenging ailments due to its combination of therapeutic properties (e.g., improving circulation, reducing inflammation, protecting cells from a myriad of otherwise lethal stressors, and reviving dying cells).

• These properties make DMSO uniquely suited to treat “incurable” neurological disorders, and in conjunction with forgotten research on the effects of microcirculatory impairments, reshape our understanding of the causes of neurological (and psychiatric) diseases.

• DMSO has shown remarkable promise for cognitive impairment, brain fog, and memory loss from a wide range of causes (e.g., aging, vascular disease, anesthesia, post-COVID or pharmaceutical poisoning), along with improving sleep quality and dream vividness — often by resolving the pain, breathing difficulties, or neurological conditions (e.g., restless leg syndrome) that were preventing restorative sleep.

• Extensive data supports DMSO’s use for the major neurodegenerative diseases — including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, Huntington’s, and multiple sclerosis — and protein misfolding diseases such as prion disorders and Niemann-Pick disease, where DMSO’s ability to act as a chemical chaperone (stabilizing proteins and dissolving toxic aggregates) and augment cranial drainage is particularly relevant.

• Numerous psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, and PTSD) have responded to DMSO, as have seizures and epilepsy, movement disorders, encephalitis, myasthenia gravis, and hydrocephalus.

• DMSO has also produced striking developmental improvements in children with Down syndrome across multiple clinical studies, along with many other neurodevelopmental disorders.

• This article will synopsize the extensive data demonstrating DMSO’s efficacy for CNS neurological diseases (approximately 2000 studies and 200 pertinent reader testimonials), share pertinent (non-DMSO) discoveries we’ve made about neurological diseases over the years, and then conclude with practical guidance on DMSO protocols and complementary approaches that also aid in the treatment of common neurological disorders.

The Final Act of the Fiat Experiment: Why Credit is Consuming Money

 The mainstream consensus remains fixated on the “soft landing” narrative—a fantasy where inflation fades and growth persists without consequence. However, this optimism ignores the fundamental mechanics of the credit cycle. We are not merely witnessing a temporary economic slowdown; we are approaching the systemic end of the post-1971 fiat currency experiment.

1. The Debt Trap and Interest Compounding

When a sovereign nation’s interest payments exceed its productive capacity, it enters a terminal debt trap. Today, the United States is spending more on interest than on its national defense. This is the “Point of No Return.” To service this interest, the Treasury must issue more debt, which the central bank must eventually monetize. This is the definition of a hyperinflationary feedback loop......

Confirmed Oncogenic - Vox Popoli

 The Covid vaxx has been scientifically confirmed, beyond any shadow of doubt, to be oncogenic. The spike protein levels in the vaxxed are, on average, 13x higher than in the unvaxxed, and spike proteins are now being regularly found in the tumors of cancer patients.

This also explains why anomalous cancers are being found in much younger individuals than has historically been the case. In every example, these younger-than-average victims turn out to have been vaxxed.

While vaxx-shedding is real, this second-hand exposure it doesn’t even begin to compare to the problem of having a spike protein factory chugging away in your body.

Keep this in mind for the next pandemic, the next psychological operation, and the next mass deception. Never, ever, give into the government lies, the media narrative, the fake science, or the social pressure.
