Trump Goes Amalek on Iran, by Ilana Mercer - The Unz Review - (Not all jews are members of DaSynagogue of Satan - in fact, there are tens of millions of churchians who are - courtesy of WILLFUL IGNORANCE and a SEARED CONSCIENCE! - CL)

 To Israel’s unbridled barbarism, America has responded by joining in. Trump has naturalized the idea of conquest, ethnic cleansing; genocide and mass murder.

The Axis of Epstein wants to destroy the Axis of Resistance.

Decent, moral people will root for Iran to hold the line against a Satanic confederacy, Israel in the lead, seeking the fragmentation and Gazafication of Iran and Lebanon.

To that end, President Donald Trump had convened “hucksters and shysters” to head his diplomatic corps to the Middle East and beyond, Iran included. In the commission of the greatest Sins known to Man, the “populist” president had recruited billionaires to his White House, who also happen to be Israel-first fixers and assets. Like their boss, both Trump’s point “men” are regarded as “Israeli assets,” as “one Gulf diplomat with knowledge of the talks” told The Guardian, on March 17.

This, the president, to whom Bibi Netanyahu’s word is law, did with a purpose, the outcome of which is in evidence:

The final and full Israelization of the American military, and the attempted Gazafication of Iran and Lebanon. The “Gaza doctrine applied to a new front,” concludes Jonathan Whittall, a humanitarian and fellow South African. “And the American state is in compliance, providing firepower and striving to finally and fully Israelize the American military.”

The crime of aggression is “the supreme international crime” in international customary law. Why so? Because “it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” The aggression is not only “a crime against the state that is attacked,” but it is “a crime against individuals who are killed or harmed as a result of war.”

Think “accumulated evil” when you look at Trump, a “second-rate gangster who strove to be Bibi Netanyahu” and has finally and fully arrived.

Without half trying, Trump has made us all confederates in Israel’s crimes. The Israel-US criminal regimes are in contravention of the laws of war, and the Charter of the United Nations—Articles Two and 51, in particular—by which “armed force” shall not be deployed against “the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another State.”

For reasons obvious, the twinned Trump-Netanyahu regimes are also an affront to God’s law, the Ten Commandments—according to which you must not covet or murder—and the natural justice, subsumed within which is the libertarian law. The latter pivots on the universal injunction against unprovoked aggression, not on the “national interest fiat standard.”

Most of all, this obtains “regardless of a declaration of war”! In other words, the murderous parliamentary procedures and protocols of Israel or the US do not usurp eternal codes of morality and ethics. Codified or uncodified, all laws that govern the comity between the community of nations and uphold individual rights have been trashed by the US-Israel coalition of evil.

By rights, Iran then is not only expected to defend its people—but to defend them against any “State [that] allows its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State [USA] for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State [Iran].” By the letter of the law, Iran is fighting fair when it targets the Persian Gulf states, from which attacks on the Iranian people are staged.

These eternal universal laws have been sundered by two rogue, nuclear powers, whose nuclear proliferation is undeclared and unsupervised. Obscenely, the US and Israel have justified their attack on a third state [Iran] that has no nukes and has not initiated war in centuries, by invoking nuclear control and non-proliferation, comments Craig Mokhiber.

This is enough to make one gag.

Ilana Mercer, paleolibertarian author, essayist and theorist, has been writing up an anti-war, anti-woke storm since 1998, starting in Canada. On arriving in the US, in 2002, her weekly column was right away syndicated. Mercer’s national syndication fell through shortly after due to writing in strident opposition to the war in Iraq. ILANA is described as “a system-builder. Distilled, her modus operandi has been to methodically apply first principles to the day’s events.” She’s Jewish, grew up in Israel ages five to nineteen, and left, at 19, never to return. She had refused to serve in the IDF, Israel’s compulsory military. Ilana’s focus since October of 2023 has been the genocide. A war against civilians is a war on civilization.

Diversity and Inclusion - by bionic mosquito

 Christian writers, before and after Constantine, almost without exception, and in spite of the persecution of Christianity by Roman authorities, considered Roman universalism as a providential historical fact, which made possible the spreading of the Gospel on the “inhabited earth.”

Imperial Unity and Christian Divisions: The Church AD 450 – 680, John Meyendorff

The Roman Empire comprised much diversity in terms of peoples and languages, while at the same time providing for a commonality that facilitated the spread of valuable new ideas and philosophies – in our case, Christianity.

The empire spread from all of Europe to the West of the Rhine and the South of the Danube, also to include Britain, Spain, North Africa, Egypt, and the Middle East. This was an empire that did not suppress local cultures, languages and religions. Instead, it imposed a single administrative and legal structure.

Latin was used predominantly for administrative and legal procedures, while Greek was preferred by intellectuals in most urban setting, both in the East and in the West.

We see one effect of this spread of empire, very early on:

It’s as if the Persians had reinterpreted Sun Tzu, Clausewitz and Kutuzov (the conqueror of Napoleon) into a whole new hybrid. And as a bonus, accomplishing in only three weeks what years’ worth of summits could not.

The petrodollar is on the way out. Alternative payment systems are up and running. And the Global South is watching in real time how the Empire of Endless Bombing can be brought to a standstill by a decentralized war of attrition engineered by a sovereign nation with one-fiftieth of the imperial defense budget.

Multipolarity won’t be born by suits reading papers in executive rooms. Multipolarity will be born in the battlefield, under fire, against all odds.

The Fatal Mirage of Kharg Island, by Caspar von Everec - The Unz Review

Full text: https://www.unz.com/article/the-fatal-mirage-of-kharg-island/#comment-7558603 


Starting this war on Iran was the biggest mistake of Trump’s political career. It will destroy his Presidency and the careers of his underlings. Vance is already thinking about not running for President in 2028, and wisely so, if I might add. Joe Kent has jumped ship, and I’d bet he won’t be the last bigwig to do so.

But an airborne operation on Kharg could turn the trickle of rats out of the sinking USS MAGA into a deluge.

Not only would it be a catastrophic defeat, but it would yield hundreds, if not thousands, of dead American soldiers and prisoners.

Unlike casualties caused by Iranian drone and missile strikes, the admin won’t be able to cover these up, and Iran will no doubt make no bones about showing the mangled corpses of hundreds of American soldiers to the world.

Considering the already high unpopularity of the war, combined with public resentment towards Zionism, Israel, and Jewish power as a whole in the wake of the Epstein affair, this event could pour Chlorine Trifluoride on an already raging bonfire.

Patriotic Purge: The Real Cost of War - Jeffries

 From Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump, the only president who resisted the pressure to go to war was John F. Kennedy.

One would think Americans would be tired of war by now, but I suppose it’s appropriate that we should be at war, as usual, on the 250th anniversary of our independence. After all, we’ve been at war for about 90% of our existence. That’s what we do. Waste money and prematurely end the lives of those who have barely started living. Ignore the home front, and the welfare of the citizens. Harry Patch, last surviving soldier of WWI, defined it as well as anyone ever has, when he said, “War is organized murder and nothing else.”

The War Trump Cannot Win - by Alexander Dugin

 Alexander Dugin on a war of eschatologies and Iran’s strategy of resistance.

Trump could not, by definition, win a war with Iran. And he cannot. The only question is how exactly he will lose it. What he says carries almost no significance. It is simply agony—not only his personal agony, but that of the entire system.

The Israel lobby, for all its extraordinary effectiveness, will drag Trump down into the abyss along with itself. And he will drag it down with him. This is guaranteed mutual destruction.

Within the Zionist lobby, everything is extremely rational and carefully calculated—up to the moment when the final act arrives: the coming of the Messiah. That is the promissory note on which everything is built. It is issued against a future event. If that future does not arrive, everything collapses. Christian Zionism is even worse: everything in it rests on pure hallucination (the Rapture, and so on), which cannot come to pass, no matter how much one might wish it.

Thus, the sum of rational steps taken by the forces that have now taken control of Trump concludes with an irrational chord. Inevitably......

The Rapidly-Gathering Economic Storm - Denninger

I've long warned of longer-term risks, specifically in places like medical -- and there's an article coming on that, along with some of the "mainstream media" finally noticing.  In fact one of the themes on this page for the last 15 years has been precisely that risk which I identified with plenty of time for most people to do something about it in an attempt to not need medical services as they age.  Of course nobody can ever be 100% sure of anything but if you need something and can't access it you're in serious trouble and might be in "dead-big" style trouble, so you'd think given 10+ years worth of warning people would generally take care of it if they can.

Nope.

I know plenty of people today who are singing "high and happy" songs about their stonk portfolios.  If you're retired or nearly-so and its a small part of your net worth, and in addition anything illiquid is not leveraged (e.g. real estate) then its probably ok -- it might upset you if you lose half or more but it won't really make life hard for you.

On the other hand if that's not true -- if you're 70 years old and 100% "all-in", having based your lifestyle on a $2m+ portfolio that has doubled in the last five or so years and you have a bunch of "must spend" items in your personal financial condition that require being able to draw $100k/year out of that, and the market takes a 50% hit, you're hosed -- in 10 years you're entirely out of money.

Oh by the way if you look at a long-term (e.g. 20 year weekly) chart of the S&P 500 even a 50% hit, down to about 3,500 from the high, does NOT violate the long-term trendline up from the 2009 lows.

Its much worse if you're in the Nasdaq; there the long-term trendline is down around 8400 which is a 65% loss from where it stands today.

And again this does not undercut that trendline and bear markets typically do undercut it, and not by a little.  In fact it is not unusual for a bear market to undercut that long-term trendline by roughly another 50%.

Of course I do not know this will happen again but there has never been a "permanent bull market" that doesn't have this happen from time to time.  Never.  And some of those bear markets have gone on for a decade or longer before recovering and during that entire time you may not invade any of the principal or you have permanently lost the compounding that would otherwise occur.

Is Iran the triggering event?  I have no idea.  

It might be -- and you might also note that MSTR, which a bit more than a year ago traded $543, closed as I am writing this at $138.

That's a 75% loss -- so far.
