Eleni sent this interview with Michael Hudson about the conduct of the war against Palestinians, which is patterned as the war against the Vietnamese people was patterned during that war, based upon the systems analysis paradigm of Physicist, Herman Kahn, who was the inspiration for "Dr. Strangelove" in that movie, and explored the theory of "winnable" nuclear war, as well as the "Strategic Hamlets" initiative in Vietnam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn
Kahn was a founding member of the Hudson Institute, and also worked as a military analyst and strategist at the similar Rand Corporation. Michael Hudson was brought into the Hudson institute after the publication of his expose book, Super Imperialism in 1972. This was adopted as an operations manual for US global currency policy, as it portrayed the $US as being supported more by the necessity of buying oil and other trade items in $US, than by the gold backing, which had just been "suspended", as the US ran out of gold.
Hudson, therefore attended many high level strategic meetings with Kahn over a period of several years. He describes Kahn's analysis of the interventions necessary to destroy the system which supports people in a society. This included removing people from communities and putting them into tightly controlled compounds, "Strategic hamlets", which Israel has done with Gaza, and also the isolation of West Bank Palestinian communities from each other.
"Killing all of the journalists" was a lesson learned by the US during the Vietnam War, when diffusion of actual knowledge of the horrors of war ruined societal support for the war. ("Hey, hey, LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?") This is being carried out in Gaza and the Palestinian West Bank villages. Destruction of hospitals and of food supplies is critical. The message to humanitarian organizations to "go back home" was very effectively conveyed by the killing of 7 aid workers by 3 waves of drone attacks, until they were all dead and burned. Ships turned around. The mission closed down. Aid Workers, Hospitals and Doctors are at the "top of the target list" with Journalists.
The US promptly stopped funding for UNRWA, based on a few tortured confessions from UNRWA workers in Israeli prisons, and has blocked it until 2025, despite that background being revealed.
All of this is to make it impossible to live in Gaza, and to enforce death by starvation, which is less dramatic than bombing, upon all the Palestinians who will not leave.
Israel is the US/Western "aircraft carrier:" in the oil-producing Mideast, which LBJ (and others) have said "would have to be invented if it did not exist".
Hudson explores the threat to global oil supply and prices, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, and how the US/Israel/West might be able to prevent that, such as by developing a pretext for massive attacks upon Iran, perhaps nuclear. Currently, Iran is being careful to avoid providing such a pretext for nuclear attack, after the provocation of the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus Syria last week.
The upshot is that this is the same coordinated policy as in Vietnam, and has been continuous in Israel/Palestine since the meetings Hudson attended during the Nixon administration in the early 1970s. The window-dressing for the American and western public is propaganda, and it is not effectively overriding the actual images people see, but it is delaying any real action to stop the genocide, while the starvation, bombing and destruction of all support-systems grinds forward.
Hudson points out that the only currently anti-war candidate running for POTUS is the Green Party Candidate, Jill Stein MD..
He discusses the plans to convert Gaza to an Israeli luxury development, with piers for yachts, installed by Americans. These purport to carry in food, but that is not happening.
Hudson reports Israeli deals with India for construction after the expulsion of Palestinians. He reports that the lack of money in supporting Palestinians helps drive the genocide.
The imperial project, as he lays it out, is the successful financialization of Genocide.
PROF. MICHAEL HUDSON, THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF GAZA.
The Islamists will not kill all the Israelis. However they have said they will kill everyone in the army. All other civilians will be allowed to stay or leave as they wish. Many highly skilled Jews will be retained for their knowledge and will be forbidden from leaving!
All diplomatic missions, including consulates, are considered the territory of the diplomatic mission, so that was in fact Iranian soil that Israel attacked.
The real issue is if Iran could hit critical infrastructure- Dimona, ports, electrical production stations, arms depots, city centers. Or an accidental direct hit on one of Israel’s nuclear missile silos. Definitely there’re of impunity is over…
Actually it goes far beyond that. This barrage of missiles represents first time "real world" use of some of these missiles for Iran. They know exactly what parameters and co-ordinates each shot was given and now have real performance data, rather than test range data to work with.
There's no experience like battlefield experience, and Iran's missile corps just got that, in spades....
Great analysis. As far as what you said about the guidance system of Iranian missiles...
Aren't they powered by Glonass? I thought both Russia and China have given them access to it as being part of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and what is happening in Ukraine.
Ritter also echos your thinking.
"Despite having employed an extensive integrated anti-missile defense system comprised of the so-called “Iron Dome” system, US-made Patriot missile batteries, and the Arrow and David’s Sling missile interceptors, along with US, British, and Israeli aircraft, and US and French shipborne anti-missile defenses, well over a dozen Iranian missiles struck heavily-protected Israeli airfields and air defense installations.
Any Iranian retaliation against Israel would need to navigate these extremely complicated policy waters, enabling Iran to impose a viable deterrence posture designed to prevent future Israeli attacks while making sure that neither its policy objectives regarding a geopolitical pivot to the east, nor the elevation of the cause of Palestinian statehood on the global stage, were sidetracked.
The Iranian attack on Israel appears to have successfully maneuvered through these rocky policy shoals. It did so first and foremost by keeping the United States out of the fight. Yes, the United States participated in the defense of Israel, helping shoot down scores of Iranian drones and missiles. This engagement was to the benefit of Iran, since it only reinforced the fact that there was no combination of missile defense capability that could, in the end, prevent Iranian missiles from hitting their designated targets."
Global Navigation Satellite Systems: Russia - GLONASS; China - BeiDou; Europe - GALILEO; US - GPS. Each broadcast continuously. I regularly use GPS and GLONASS in my work and GALILEO is becoming more useful as well as it becomes more established with better coverage. Point being, specific localities can be blocked in their entirety, meaning all GNSS signals from whatever constellation, but the ability to block signals to a particular piece of equipment at will is not possible in a scenario like missile guidance. If you have the components you can receive the broadcast (provided you're not in area being actively blocked). This is getting outside my expertise, but I imagine this is a common exercise in Electronic Warfare: how do I jam their GNSS but use my own? How do I continue navigating my missile once I enter the area of interference?
It is my understanding that the US-GPS satellites actually have both civilian and military GPS system signals. It would make sense that the military grade GPS would be limited to only those countries that we choose to use it. Therefore, perhaps Israel cannot attack Iran with GPS guided munitions unless the US allows Israel to use the military grade GPS system, which requires a special code , or something to use it. Perhaps someone knows more about this? Thus, isn't it true that if the US withholds the code, Israel cannot use it's GPS guided JDAM bombs, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles to attack Iran (unless they resort to inferior inertial guidance)?
Your understanding is partially correct. For some history, the US used to use Selective Availability - a purposeful degradation of the GPS signal designed to make integer ambiguity resolution impossible without post-processing collected GPS data - meaning precision locations were unavailable in real-time without specialized, military-grade GPS receivers. This was abandoned during the Gulf War because even with those receivers, SA still interfered with US military operations. Civilian use was exploding at the time as well and higher precision locations were in demand. When real-time kinematic techniques and post-processing advances made obtaining near real-time precision positioning trivially easy to obtain, SA had only cons and no pros from a military perspective.
Now, each GNSS also transmits "military-only" signals in addition to the civilian codes (for sure with GPS and GLONASS, I assume the same for BeiDou and GALILEO) which are only available to specialized receivers. This is where the controlled-access occurs: in the acquisition of the receiving components. Here again I'll go beyond what I know and assume that all military rivals do have access to those specialized receivers for one another's GNSS, and also assume that reverse engineering plays a significant part in Electronic Warfare tactics like localized jamming. Fundamentally though, altering a GNSS signal alters it for everyone because it's a continuous broadcast. You're either going to limit all of your GNSS codes to military use only or implement something like SA, or you're going to broadcast military-only codes along with civilian, but in either case you can only try to control who has access to the components that can hear it. Modern GNSS is designed for the latter because civilian use of GNSS is arguably a national security matter as well.
Picture it like yelling your location across a crowded room to your friend. If you don't want others to know, maybe you use an obscure language you both understand. Or maybe you develop a special code between yourselves. But all it really takes to listen in and use your "broadcast" is fluency in the obscure language or breaking your code. So you either need to stop talking completely (shut off your GNSS broadcast) or start plugging ears in the room (localized jamming). Not a perfect analogy but hopefully illustrative. In your example, if the US did not want Israel to use GPS positioning during a specific time period, they could 1) shut off the entire GPS broadcast (massive consequences world-wide), 2) shut off the GPS military code(s) broadcast (making them unavailable to our military also), or 3) actively jam the GPS broadcast in specific areas (close to an act of war in this example and raising some serious political questions).
I imagine most countries operating GNSS are continuously refining their military codes or developing new ones. But relying on them for security on the broadcast side is a fool's errand. All it takes is one stolen piece of hardware or white paper and your enemy has the same access.
Edited to add: when I say localized jamming I mean on the ground, as in equipment that actively interferes with the GNSS broadcast as it's reaching earth. Just clarifying that this is not possible within specific areas on the broadcast side. The broadcast is either on or off.
Did Bibi go from bad guy to good by going against Iran and not Gaza? Have you heard Trump lately? Seems he gained some backing in France and UK at UN. Big problem is that according to Gordon Duff, one time editor of Veterans Today and now at Intel Drop, has claimed serially that Israel is a nuclear terrorist state and has used tactical nukes several time to intimidate countries that don't have them. Backed into a corner, Bibi is very dangerous to everyone. He is a terrorist. He needs to go.
Thanks linden checked it out, will probably subscribe. At least as a Vietnam marine combat he has lived life. Veterans Today faces a continuous assault on its content. Has forever. What's your excuse?
This is an absolute fact! The explosion in Beirut was simply a Jewish tactical nuke dropped from an F-16. Thousands of people saw and heard the jet come in.
The Jews also used a tactical nuke in the Lebanon War in 2006. It was proven by Russians. And they used tactical nukes in Syria in Hama a couple of years before. Look at the videos of the Beirut and Syrian blasts. Only a nuclear bomb causes a blast like that.
I happen to know Gordon. He got his info on the Beirut blast from a physics professor who was an UN nuclear inspector. The Lebanese military and intelligence and the Italian government stated that the Jews dropped a nuclear bomb on Beirut.
And the US Joint Chiefs said the Jews bombed Beirut. Syrian intelligence said the Jews used a new type of unknown weapon on Beirut.
The Jews have used nukes three times in the last 15-20 years. They’re clearly the worst people on Earth.
There is also video of s massive explosion from a bomb in Yemen years before the Beirut blast. I don’t know if it was a nuke or not but it sure was a massive explosion. Some say the Jews dropped that bomb in Yemen.
It is a fact that the US used tactical nukes at Tora Bora. We also dropped a nuke 13 miles southwest of Basra during the Gulf War.
The US and the Jewish state, the two most evil countries on Earth, are of course the only nations evil enough to use nukes since 1991.
I know Gordon. He has amazing contacts. He’s an antisemite, sure, but I think his main beef with the Jews is Israel. He’s hit and miss but I think he nailed it on this nuke question.
Lots of antisemites are very credible on all sorts of things. That’s a stupid ad hominem attack.
Access to a particular GNSS doesn't have to be given, it can only be denied in specific areas with active jamming. If you have the components you can receive the signals (absent said jamming).
For example, the map below shows interference worldwide for the US GNSS (GPS). You can see around Tehran there are areas of GPS access with no notable interference. I feel certain that if the US could "turn off" GPS at will to entire countries, Iran would be on that list.
Don't US-GPS satellites actually have both civilian and military GPS system signals? It would make sense that the military grade GPS would be limited to only those countries that we choose to use it. Therefore, perhaps Israel cannot attack Iran with GPS guided munitions unless the US allows Israel to use the military grade GPS system, which requires a special code , or something to use it. Perhaps you can shed more light on this?
I can testify to that. Although I am an admirer of Martyanov's site, I did enter there once with a legitimate question for him and was immediately faced with a barrage of attacks accusing me of be a troll, all led by a big fish in a small pond called "Larch" (I believe that was his name. I never returned.
That's interesting you say that because I myself had sampled some of the comments and the first thought that struck me was: "This is basically pro-Russian NAFO."
At this point - in history - it seems that the convergence between machines and non-human is in its final stages. Which means that the regurgitation of either becomes indistinguishable. Which is not limited regarding form but "content". Once you are trained - flesh or artificial - only on past data and "logic" all that comes out is artificial - without LIFE. Surely there will be advanced outliers for some time mainly based on computing power but nothing can beat INTELLIGENCE - not even Musk, Altmann, Gates & Co. relying on Nvidia.
Hi Simplicious,have always thought you to be- "Nightvision" for the Saker Blog. Could not wait for your articles on SMO then.I think you got into problems with Saker due to your popularity (readership),i read jealousy.A.M and Saker shared the same hubris,they accuse of the West.
Simplicus moved up in viewership and especially subscriptions much faster the AM. So Andrei launched a attack stating that Simplicus was just an uneducated amateur without the high quality military/scientific education he has.
AM is old school ex soviet naval officer , he seem to be stuck with old ways and looked at today's events from this rose colored glasses that was tainted by his love for america .. he fled soviet after collapse and become american.
he is almost borderline sinophobic as i read his many articles constantly denigrating chinese advances and always consider china as far below Russia in tech..
it is like he is stuck in a time period where china cannot produce good gear surpassing russia like today.
the major 'diatribe' is the AM followers who acted like rabid cultists and led by a regular AM poster called 'Larc' who have personal issue with simp..
as always , never trust 100% anyone on internet.. not AM , not Simp , not me or anyone here .. use your brain to filter and firewall the crap out
Only a lover of talmudic doctrine Full-Spectrum Dominance and its fruit -- the genocide of Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, and Palestinians -- would criticize Russians for their many attempts to prevent the ongoing war in Ukraine. Actually, this is Judea War on Russia. The war was ordered by Private Banking Cartel united with fascist mega-corporations. Russians are defending Russians resources and Russian civilization from the certified Looters who have Nazified Ukraine (since 1997) and made Ukrainians into cannon fodder.
You have obviously arrived here without having followed anything about the Ukraine, other than through accounts in the propaganda conduits that used to be Western news media. Ernesto is correct that you have got the story exactly backwards, as you would know if you made any attempt to hear both sides of the argument. I'll give three examples that should give you pause.
1) There is an American reporter, Patrick Lancaster, who lives in a purely civilian area of Donetsk city. One day a Ukrainian Tochka-U surface-to-surface missile landed in his local shopping centre. He lived only a block or two away, so he was on the scene within minutes. He recorded video of his dead and dying neighbours, and of the people trying to help the wounded, or grieving over the dead. His video was mainly one continuous shot, allowing definitive geo-location that proved he was where he said he was, and that he was reacting to events in real time. Not that there should be any doubt about that, because he already had a history of many years of truthful reporting on the Kiev government's slow genocide of the civilians of east Ukraine. (Attacks that go back over seven years before the date that you have been told was the beginning of the war.)
The "edited highlights" of his video later appeared in Western media, re-labelled as the results of a genocidal Russian missile attack on Ukrainian civilians in a totally different place. Others of his reports have been recycled in the same way. Western media have been doing this sort of thing to blacken Russia's reputation since at least 2008, during the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia. Russian live TV coverage of the Georgian shelling of civilians in Tskhinvali, the Ossetian capital, was picked up by Western media and presented as Russian shelling of Georgian civilians. Such lying coverage means that almost all Westerners still believe that Russia started that war, despite an EU investigation later confirming that, as the Russians had said all along, the Georgians started it with a surprise attack on Ossetia, and on Russian-supplied UN peacekeepers on the border.
2) Until January 2023, the principal domestic spokesman for the Ukrainian government was Zelensky's childhood friend, Oleksii Arestovych. Part of his job was to emphasise the genocidal Russian missile attacks on civilian targets that you mentioned. Normally he did his job well, and clearly convinced a lot of Westerners. But after a particularly high-casualty event in Dnipro, he let slip that the deaths and injuries were actually caused by Ukrainian anti-missile missiles, not Russian ones targeting civilians. (As, indeed, the Russians had always maintained.) For telling the truth, he was fired and placed on the Myrotvorets death-list. He had to go into hiding until he could escape into exile. His life is still at risk; these days the Ukrainian government assassins no longer restrict themselves to eliminating Ukrainian dissidents inside the Ukraine. They operate against Ukrainian, Russian and Western truth-tellers world-wide, with the scarcely-concealed connivance of Western governments.
3) On two occasions that I know of, there have been missile strikes on civilian areas that are controlled by Kiev, but which were definitely not caused by AA fire as in the Dnipro case. In each case, Western media enthusiastically reported the genocidal Russian attacks. In the first case, in Kramatorsk, the story lasted until an Italian TV crew got so close to the wreckage of the missile that its serial number was legible in their report. It proved to be right in the middle of a sequence known to be in Ukrainian, not Russian, stocks. The story disappeared over-night; Western media never corrected their initial mis-attribution of blame, so this might be one of the stories that gave you your false belief. The second incident didn't get so much coverage, as analysis of video of the missile's arrival made it pretty clear straight away that it came from Kiev-regime held territory. So it was not of so much interest to Western media, though of course they reported the bare facts in a way that gave the impression it was Russia's responsibility. I never heard whether these missile strikes were accidents, or whether they were directed against civilians by the regime on the principle that most civilians in eastern Ukraine are pro-Russian, so there is no reason not to kill them even if you already control the territory they live in.
Such cases of misrepresentation are legion, with Western media lying to make people believe Ukrainian crimes are Russian ones.
If you are a genuine seeker after truth, I am sorry that you have been misled by our conniving media, and also sorry that you received short shrift from the other people that have replied to you. But I would ask you to tolerate their irritation, as most people who come here to leave drive-by insults towards Russia are closed-minded bigots who revel in their imagined virtue in kicking the designated hate-figure that the authorities point them at. They also regard it as virtuous to refuse to listen to people who don't immediately condemn the hate-figure, thus cutting themselves off from the knowledge needed to make rational decisions for themselves and for their countries. Assuming you are not such a person, I hope you will stick around and discover that, in fact, there really is another side to the stories that you have been told.
Perhaps so, but your bias is truly showing. Israel does not ‘purposefully’ target civilians. It would be better if you indicated facts, rather than opinions.
Get the couple of mobile phone videos from "note the speed but also the grouping accuracy" onward in your article and play them backwards. Now what do you see?
There is one accurate weapon the Resitance can to put to good use: The Suicide Bomber. Can't wait until thousands come screaming outa Gaza into Tel Aviv :) Payback's gonna be a bitch!! BOOOOM Baby BOOM !!!!!
No one in the Zionist regime is innocent. Why don't you try a hunger strike and see if that brings obout the peace you seem to desire. I'll stick to Franz Fannon and Winnie Mandela.
More likely a low level contractor from Unit 8200 sent here to froth up the water….in other contexts I would simply hit the ignore button and silence the creature. So far I have not found an effective way to do that on SubStack
While agree with you , the history in question is a rather recent one with a turning point in 1948. What it appears to be hinged on is the greatest case of identity theft in history.
Ok. This is the type of anti-Semite 💩 I refer to. Pretty ignorant.
You do realize most Jews in Israel descend from the region. Some migrated back from Europe certainly. They are much more reasonable than Quds and jihadis.
Virtually zero of you would survive five minutes in a room of Quds or Hamas or Hezbollah.
Arabs are Semites. Palestinians are the true descendants of the ancient Jews. -- And look what your mongrels from Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine have been doing to these true jewish descendants. Israel has become a land of jewish fascists and a safe haven for all kinds of supposedly 'jewish' jcriminals including organ traffickers and pedophiles. The mass murder of the Palestinian babies and toddlers by using white phosphorous, carpet bombing, and artificial famine has exposed jews as malicious fools.
The word Palestinian was. Ot even used until 1967. Gaza was part of Egypt. The West Bank was part of Jordan. No one was talking about inventing ‘Palestine’.
Well then, let's just rescind the Balfour Declaration, about as fraudulent and illegal as one can get. The real conflict SHOULD BE between Perfidious Albion and the Red Sea Pedestrians. The Palestinians are the ACTUAL, REAL SEMITES, as they never left Palestine.
And the psychopathic Red Sea Pedestrians will always compound failure with more failure, claim victimhood and then "Victory".
The Palestinians have never left, and nor did they project violence on immigrating Jews until after the fraudulent Balfour Declaration, where they had to begin to DEFEND THEMSELVES from the non-semitic infiltrators that called them selves "Semites".
You are obviously an imposter and have completely forgotten your humanity.
Support? Support has nothing to do with this. This is analysis. Both nations could go up in nuclear fire for all I care, as long as the fallout doesn't hit the US. Most of the US, anyway. F the coasts.
And your Haredi are what? Zionists' idol Jabotinsky collaborated with the Ukrainian and Italian fascists. Mussolini named Jabotinsky a true jewish fascist. Learn about your roots. Incinerating Palestinian babies and toddlers with white phosphorous seems to be a great and peasant pastime for zionists. Your filthy Lobby has been attacking the First Amendment to preserve the profiteering schema of holobiz. Your dual-loyalty scum has been hurting the US interests at all levels imaginable. Is jewish fascism on the march fine with you?
What does any of what you wrote have to do with anything listed in this article? You got lost on your way to Reddit.
If you're so keen on bringing "American values" to the world then go sign up at your nearest Army recruitment office. You seem to enjoy having others tell you what to think anyway, you'll love it.
Seems more like Twitter. I tried it again a few months after Musk bought it, and it was still just Twitter without as much censorship. Still 99% ad-hominem, out-of-context garbage. Cancelled again within a week.
What a ridiculous and tired trope, "Join the military so they can tell you what to think." As if any participation in any 'group' doesn't do the same. Whether it's social, government, or occupational you're always being told 'what to think'. Do better.
I have to confess, I'm not sure how this is even a relevant response in the context of this thread. Your comment says a lot about you, frankly, none of it good.
"80-90% of its people disdain and can do nothing about because they can’t own weapons."............A high number of Americans disdain their government, have weapons and "can't do, nothing about it." Most women no doubt would prefer being imprisoned for violating a dress code, than having themselves and their children massacred by bombs and snipers.
Well, I swallow some well deserved profanities towards you, you are not even worth an insult.
My respects are with the Jews in and outside Israel who contradict and resist the genocide in Gaza and the inhuman occupation of Palestine. They deserve the respect you would never earn.
Simplicius quoted the Haaretz piece. I read essays by Moshe Zuckermann, like other Jews "canceled" and censored by the German government, in complicity and submission to the voelkish-nationalist regime in Israel.
What indicates to you that the author, who's report you are critiquing with the power of your arguments (/s) is a supporter of either side? I think the analysis presented is pretty solid and is supported by my own observations and those of others in my personal and professional circle, several my former peers in DoD who still do war for a living for whatever that's worth (none are Air Force though which might explain the divergence of opinion between you and I). And your comments about Iran, its government and people seem like the same tired old neocon propaganda tropes from the '70s-80s after The Iranian Revolution overthrew the Shah and humiliated the CIA.
Dude, have you ever spent time with Iranians? I’m multi branched with multiple careers. So am a bit more earthy than you researched. Got your attention though.
The Quds are not real Iranians. The actual people hate the government.
David, how's the coffee in Tel Aviv this morning? Sunny out? I heard the weather forecast there is cloudy with a 75% chance of hypersonic incoming. Enjoy your day in the bunker. What goes around, comes around. AKA karma is a bitch.
Yeah right? Had me with: “We do in the US”. Yeah sure buddy, the fatted calf aint gonna cough up the ten million a day much longer and it looks like you might have a firepower ratio problems on your hands. Off you go, try not to make so much noise….
How about the violations of all laws and conventions by jewish fascists (zionists) in Israel and diaspora? Mossad is nothing but a branch of shtetl's midgets whose legacy boils down to the self-proclaimed terrorist gangs Lehi/Irgun, Zvi Migdal & Epstein pornographic enterprises, and thuggish assassinations world-wide. Should we add 9/11 and Dancing Israelis?
A triggered cohort of the genocidal angloZionaZi abomination floundering in khazar occupied Palestine. It's wonderful to hear those squeals of "outrage" and pain. Karma is indeed grand.
Well said. It warms the heart, it really does. And I am not gloating of feeling vengeful, it’s just a “gentle” reminder of how the universe works. All equations balance, it’s just that us mere mortals cant see it…
Just out of curiosity, I bet your Government is 80-90% better than every one else's REGIME. I have over the years come to realize the most government's ARE regimes, so please tell us how benevolent your government is.
"The regime imprisons women for showing their face or violating a dress code" is just finest CNN and BBC propaganda. Just search for a YouTube or TikTok Tehran market video will show all manner of ladies some even showing off their gorgeous hair! The horror!
False! My most recent poll is from 2019. The rioters have only 15% support. But that’s 7-8 million people dead set hardline ready to riot anti regime people.
Soliemani had 89% support. I think Khameini has 80% support. 78% support Velaya Al Fiqar or rule by mullahs. 85% thought the government was going too easy on the rioters! Only 15% want more social liberalism.
The Battle of the Hijab is over and the hijabless won. Go to Tehran. There are women with uncovered heads everywhere. Many carry a hijab and put it on if they see the morality police.
The law is barely enforced anyway and it wasn’t much enforced before. Some religious men take photos of uncovered women to harass them, but that’s all the problems you will get. Sometimes uncovered women fight the men taking photos.
The regime does not imprison women for showing their faces or violating a dress code. The hijab law is hardly enforced and it was barely enforced even at the time of the CIA Mossad riots.
Hi David. I do not believe that any low intellectual people read anything from Simplicius. I believe that Simplicius presents us with information to repudiate what is crammed down our throats by the puppeteers of world media outlets and governments.
I think that the term Antisemitism is being blurred with misunderstanding and under education on the term itself and the subject from a pre-term historical view to modern references. I don’t think that the term Antisemitism existed prior to the 19th century when it was politicized by National Socialist Wilhelm Marr. Prior to that it was simply prejudice. A prejudice as old as Christianity itself. With the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth in 30CE began the separation of Judaism and Christianity. It was finalized by the burning of the Second Temple by Titus in 70CE, who went on to be Roman Emperor from 79CE to 81CE. The Christian leaders at the time were intent on replacing Judaism with Christianity. The Jewish people then suffered almost two millennia of being persecuted and evicted from every country they had called home prior. They had no state to call their own and considered Palestine their home and prior to 1948 to be Palestinian referred to Jewish as well. It was the Empire of Great Britain (the west) that offered to carve a Jewish state out of Palestine (for political reasonings). In 1917 England was involved in WW1 along with the withering Ottoman Empire, Palestine had been part of the Ottoman Empire for at least four years now. The British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent a declaration to the reigning Jewish political arm of the time in England and Ireland stating the intention to create a Jewish state. He did this to encourage the Jewish state to join the war on Britain’s behalf. After the end of WW1 and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1922, the search began for the Jewish State. This declaration was instrumental in the establishment of Israel in 1948. I hope people can see why there are problems. We must not allow our anger to cloud our ability to think critically, to talk humanely , and treat each other with respect. We as Humans and for Humanity’s sake cannot allow organizations (Western, Middle Eastern, European, Asian)that use terror (beheadings, rape, kidnappings, children, starvation, sanctions, etc…) to achieve their goals. The State of Israel was created by Western Governments. Carved out of one nation for politics and religion. It is now politics and religion that once again threaten the well being of every person on this planet…and for what…a piece of dirt to call our own. :(
Several countries invited them to settle, as they typically brought skills and a hardiness born of never being sure what next year would bring.
For example, the Ottomans were pleased to import them from Spain due to the number of artisans, and the English imported them from the Dutch for various craft skills and for the expertise they'd acquired in finance, which went to help make the Pound the world currency, which in turn assisted England to became the world's great power. Obv that only happens with the foundation of England's mastery of the sea and worldwide trade.
The Jews were also two other things: A small group, slightly but not massively different, and identifiable. When times were good they were valued, when times were bad they became scapegoats. I think any other group with those qualities might have filled that role. To what extent they were great citizens or great annoyances, I don't know. Trying to reconstruct history from 1000 years back is hard even if you have no dog in the ring.
The Bible states that among the peoples of its day, the Jews would be preserved forever. While the Bible doesn't predict the USA, atomic power or the internet, it did predict much else that has happened through history. Mighty kingdoms and empires have risen and gone, but the language and holidays Jesus knew in His youth are alive today, in the land where He inspired multitudes. Multitudes who were a few Greeks, a rebellious Roman or two, maybe, possibly dissidents from Egypt, but mostly they were of His people, who we now call the Jews.
I tend to agree with your later well-said comment but that first comment left an initial bad impression to readers. I see you're a smart man realizing you erred and corrected yourself which is noteworthy. Best wishes, David.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. All wisdom and sanity has gone in Israel. They're on a suicidal path, driven by rage and humiliation, the self interest of individual members of the leadership, and the deluded belief that God is on their side.
I don’t presume anything about you, or your comment. I don’t know. These are some thoughts it provoked.
What about Channel 14? It’s always prudent to understand the source. There are lots of “reports” made by lots of sources. Being “reported” means nothing in itself.
That channel’s profile is interesting. It’s audience was negligible until April 7. The profile of its audience is interesting as well, as is why 14 has become more of a voice in the Israeli public info sphere.
Is it a report based on substance, or just designed to add viewership, click bait? In even the so-called respectable legacy media a report, a headline, only means there’s a likely PR angle for some interested group.
As with everything being reported, information management (disinformation, counter disinformation, counter disinformation as disinformation, pure nonsense as plausible etc) applies. Info grooming is an interesting change to accurately assessing what’s out there in the blabber sphere.
Almost always, waiting makes better sense than believing. Rumors are fun, but what actually happens will happen. Waiting is useful.
For that matter, Hal Turner has always been a questionable source as well - he is rarely correct in his observations and tends to rely heavily on rumour, often quoting anonymous intel sources he claims to have close association with.
It's too early for such an assessment, I think. All we have at this point is the word of the zionists. More truth will come out over next few days, I'm sure.
My understanding is that Iran haas some extremely accurate ballistic missile technology and know well how to use it, so it wouldn't surprise me at all. Having said that, I would still like confirmation that that building was destroyed. Maybe the night janitor can give us an update someday.
Big winner as of tomorrow will be Russia as Brent(then Ural) oil prices will explode higher. VP thanks Bibi for this gift (billions more), same for Saudis and co and even...yes Iran.
It is also an incentive for Biden to not escalate as oil price is very important for POTUS vote.
Even more important for POTUS vote is the voting machine and local Dem poll workers, so I don't think he (or whoever runs him) cares that much about keeping oil prices low.
They still have to maintain an image of a good economy so that it can support masses of voters turning up for Biden. If the economy is poor, then it is hard to justify the millions of votes for Biden, even from the dead.
Any dimwit - Brandon included - would not even run the slightest risk with such bets at stake, even with a 40% margin. Your idea - based on your comment - about how REALITY works is very skewed.
..."work" I don't think that word means what you think it means. Well full credit. It will down the shit out of sugar rockets made out of sheet metal and galvanized pipe, so those aren't' getting through.
Good news for The Resistance. Good news for the worldwide opponents of Israel/US efforts to normalize genocide and sabotage even the appearance of ("unbinding") international law.
Many thanks as always Simplicius. Your work shines light into the darkness and illuminates evil for eyes to see. May the truth you so eloquently provide us feed the growing discontent of those within the demonic nephilim controlled western empire. Blessings be upon you.
The light which none of us can shine yet is the light of knowing just what the Iranians were targeting on those Israeli bases, not the nuclear plant at Dimona, but likely some specific building or structure here or there.
The key takeaway is that Israel aid will be separated from any more money for Ukraine. The Senate bill is dead; the House will have to move any Ukraine package through regular order which means amendments, committee votes, etc. That all adds up to delays.
I'm reasonably certain that is how it will play out. Don't forget that Marjorie Taylor-Greene has a motion to vacate dangling over Johnson's head. There is no way she lets him get away with just passing the Senate bill. Johnson appears to be playing a game of "delay, stall, and bide for time" with the Senate. At the end of the day he decides what comes to the floor.
I think you are correct. This is a difficult time for him. The Ukraine bill could result in his expulsion from his post, and frankly not too many Republicans are eager to vote for that anyway.
A major conflict in the middle east could also be part of "the plan" to disrupt domestic US policy enough to suspend or postpone the November election.
Matthew 3:9-10: "And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Revelations 2:9"I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
Revelations 3:9 "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie."
It's quite remarkable the percentage of citizens in the west that still look to elections as some sort or harbinger of change. An "if only my guy was in charge" sort of delusion. The truth is regardless of the face at the podium there's an ancient evil that individual is doing the bidding of and if they weren't loyal to the plan and part of the bloodline, they'd never be presented as a "choice".
It's very demoralizing, seeing all these normies and simps even in supposed 'based Right' circles.
"OMG this will totally affect the election that we know was fixed last time with no blow back, and the election will totally change things even though the last time we got our guy elected he just did economic crap w/o even touching the real problems!"
"The truth is regardless of the face at the podium there's an ancient evil that individual is doing the bidding of and if they weren't loyal to the plan and part of the bloodline, they'd never be presented as a "choice"."
Sleepy Joe, or whoever is behind him, wants Netanyahu gone. So does the rest of the world along with most Israelis from what I’ve heard. Trump & Netanyahu is a match made in hell.
Most Jewish Israelis seem to like the mass murder extermination event against Palestinians of Gaza and West Bank. Its one thing to condemn Netanyahu on aesthetic grounds. But the fact is that Netanyahu continues to do the genocidal dirty work that most Israeli public opinion seems to like.
That's true. I don't see any significant coalition of Israeli Jews with articulate leaders condemning overall humanitarian travesty of the ongoing genocide now primarily through the weaponization of forced famine. I see Israelis lining up to block the food trucks from getting in.
They don't need to postpone the election. The voting machines can produce any outcome they want. This has been conclusively proven in 2020, nothing has changed since then.
Netanyahu can’t make these decisons alone. So it can’t be put down to his need to avoid prosecution. Otherwise you seem to have covered the bases but I cannot click on your poll because we don’t know right now who’s in front of this one.
If as Natoistan states below is true then an escalation in response is already happening.
I’m not here to provide support for a man like Netanyahu, I’m just suggesting that he must have support to prosecute this. It is pointless in my view to pretend otherwise.
I think the Iranians came out ahead, though it is partially because of the generally dominant position claimed by Israel. Israel defends a more expansive claim ("we can defend our state from all comers via interception") in order to deter enemies while Iran has a more measured claim ("should we be attacked again, we can strike like this again in retaliation").
Expectations are a big deal when deciding victors.
Eleni sent this interview with Michael Hudson about the conduct of the war against Palestinians, which is patterned as the war against the Vietnamese people was patterned during that war, based upon the systems analysis paradigm of Physicist, Herman Kahn, who was the inspiration for "Dr. Strangelove" in that movie, and explored the theory of "winnable" nuclear war, as well as the "Strategic Hamlets" initiative in Vietnam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn
Kahn was a founding member of the Hudson Institute, and also worked as a military analyst and strategist at the similar Rand Corporation. Michael Hudson was brought into the Hudson institute after the publication of his expose book, Super Imperialism in 1972. This was adopted as an operations manual for US global currency policy, as it portrayed the $US as being supported more by the necessity of buying oil and other trade items in $US, than by the gold backing, which had just been "suspended", as the US ran out of gold.
Hudson, therefore attended many high level strategic meetings with Kahn over a period of several years. He describes Kahn's analysis of the interventions necessary to destroy the system which supports people in a society. This included removing people from communities and putting them into tightly controlled compounds, "Strategic hamlets", which Israel has done with Gaza, and also the isolation of West Bank Palestinian communities from each other.
"Killing all of the journalists" was a lesson learned by the US during the Vietnam War, when diffusion of actual knowledge of the horrors of war ruined societal support for the war. ("Hey, hey, LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?") This is being carried out in Gaza and the Palestinian West Bank villages. Destruction of hospitals and of food supplies is critical. The message to humanitarian organizations to "go back home" was very effectively conveyed by the killing of 7 aid workers by 3 waves of drone attacks, until they were all dead and burned. Ships turned around. The mission closed down. Aid Workers, Hospitals and Doctors are at the "top of the target list" with Journalists.
The US promptly stopped funding for UNRWA, based on a few tortured confessions from UNRWA workers in Israeli prisons, and has blocked it until 2025, despite that background being revealed.
All of this is to make it impossible to live in Gaza, and to enforce death by starvation, which is less dramatic than bombing, upon all the Palestinians who will not leave.
Israel is the US/Western "aircraft carrier:" in the oil-producing Mideast, which LBJ (and others) have said "would have to be invented if it did not exist".
Hudson explores the threat to global oil supply and prices, if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, and how the US/Israel/West might be able to prevent that, such as by developing a pretext for massive attacks upon Iran, perhaps nuclear. Currently, Iran is being careful to avoid providing such a pretext for nuclear attack, after the provocation of the Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus Syria last week.
The upshot is that this is the same coordinated policy as in Vietnam, and has been continuous in Israel/Palestine since the meetings Hudson attended during the Nixon administration in the early 1970s. The window-dressing for the American and western public is propaganda, and it is not effectively overriding the actual images people see, but it is delaying any real action to stop the genocide, while the starvation, bombing and destruction of all support-systems grinds forward.
Hudson points out that the only currently anti-war candidate running for POTUS is the Green Party Candidate, Jill Stein MD..
He discusses the plans to convert Gaza to an Israeli luxury development, with piers for yachts, installed by Americans. These purport to carry in food, but that is not happening.
Hudson reports Israeli deals with India for construction after the expulsion of Palestinians. He reports that the lack of money in supporting Palestinians helps drive the genocide.
The imperial project, as he lays it out, is the successful financialization of Genocide.

"The Islamicts will also butcher All the Israelis" from the River to the Sea."
I hope they do.
I do. Obviously genocide supporters don't.
The Islamists will not kill all the Israelis. However they have said they will kill everyone in the army. All other civilians will be allowed to stay or leave as they wish. Many highly skilled Jews will be retained for their knowledge and will be forbidden from leaving!
All diplomatic missions, including consulates, are considered the territory of the diplomatic mission, so that was in fact Iranian soil that Israel attacked.
Embassies ARE considered native soil you Zionist worm. Read a book sometime.
The real issue is if Iran could hit critical infrastructure- Dimona, ports, electrical production stations, arms depots, city centers. Or an accidental direct hit on one of Israel’s nuclear missile silos. Definitely there’re of impunity is over…
BRILLIANT TACTIC
Lots of valuable targeting data was obtained.
We don't know what they were aiming at, but they have now shot a pattern and can adjust their sights.
Actually it goes far beyond that. This barrage of missiles represents first time "real world" use of some of these missiles for Iran. They know exactly what parameters and co-ordinates each shot was given and now have real performance data, rather than test range data to work with.
There's no experience like battlefield experience, and Iran's missile corps just got that, in spades....
You are one fake 🧌

Simp,
Great analysis. As far as what you said about the guidance system of Iranian missiles...
Aren't they powered by Glonass? I thought both Russia and China have given them access to it as being part of Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and what is happening in Ukraine.
Ritter also echos your thinking.
"Despite having employed an extensive integrated anti-missile defense system comprised of the so-called “Iron Dome” system, US-made Patriot missile batteries, and the Arrow and David’s Sling missile interceptors, along with US, British, and Israeli aircraft, and US and French shipborne anti-missile defenses, well over a dozen Iranian missiles struck heavily-protected Israeli airfields and air defense installations.
Any Iranian retaliation against Israel would need to navigate these extremely complicated policy waters, enabling Iran to impose a viable deterrence posture designed to prevent future Israeli attacks while making sure that neither its policy objectives regarding a geopolitical pivot to the east, nor the elevation of the cause of Palestinian statehood on the global stage, were sidetracked.
The Iranian attack on Israel appears to have successfully maneuvered through these rocky policy shoals. It did so first and foremost by keeping the United States out of the fight. Yes, the United States participated in the defense of Israel, helping shoot down scores of Iranian drones and missiles. This engagement was to the benefit of Iran, since it only reinforced the fact that there was no combination of missile defense capability that could, in the end, prevent Iranian missiles from hitting their designated targets."
Global Navigation Satellite Systems: Russia - GLONASS; China - BeiDou; Europe - GALILEO; US - GPS. Each broadcast continuously. I regularly use GPS and GLONASS in my work and GALILEO is becoming more useful as well as it becomes more established with better coverage. Point being, specific localities can be blocked in their entirety, meaning all GNSS signals from whatever constellation, but the ability to block signals to a particular piece of equipment at will is not possible in a scenario like missile guidance. If you have the components you can receive the broadcast (provided you're not in area being actively blocked). This is getting outside my expertise, but I imagine this is a common exercise in Electronic Warfare: how do I jam their GNSS but use my own? How do I continue navigating my missile once I enter the area of interference?
Plasma bubble probably blocks GLONASS signals anyway. More likely they use an extremely accurate inertial navigation system similar to submarines.
they were all inertial navigation prior to gps,might have both at different stages
It is my understanding that the US-GPS satellites actually have both civilian and military GPS system signals. It would make sense that the military grade GPS would be limited to only those countries that we choose to use it. Therefore, perhaps Israel cannot attack Iran with GPS guided munitions unless the US allows Israel to use the military grade GPS system, which requires a special code , or something to use it. Perhaps someone knows more about this? Thus, isn't it true that if the US withholds the code, Israel cannot use it's GPS guided JDAM bombs, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles to attack Iran (unless they resort to inferior inertial guidance)?
Your understanding is partially correct. For some history, the US used to use Selective Availability - a purposeful degradation of the GPS signal designed to make integer ambiguity resolution impossible without post-processing collected GPS data - meaning precision locations were unavailable in real-time without specialized, military-grade GPS receivers. This was abandoned during the Gulf War because even with those receivers, SA still interfered with US military operations. Civilian use was exploding at the time as well and higher precision locations were in demand. When real-time kinematic techniques and post-processing advances made obtaining near real-time precision positioning trivially easy to obtain, SA had only cons and no pros from a military perspective.
Now, each GNSS also transmits "military-only" signals in addition to the civilian codes (for sure with GPS and GLONASS, I assume the same for BeiDou and GALILEO) which are only available to specialized receivers. This is where the controlled-access occurs: in the acquisition of the receiving components. Here again I'll go beyond what I know and assume that all military rivals do have access to those specialized receivers for one another's GNSS, and also assume that reverse engineering plays a significant part in Electronic Warfare tactics like localized jamming. Fundamentally though, altering a GNSS signal alters it for everyone because it's a continuous broadcast. You're either going to limit all of your GNSS codes to military use only or implement something like SA, or you're going to broadcast military-only codes along with civilian, but in either case you can only try to control who has access to the components that can hear it. Modern GNSS is designed for the latter because civilian use of GNSS is arguably a national security matter as well.
Picture it like yelling your location across a crowded room to your friend. If you don't want others to know, maybe you use an obscure language you both understand. Or maybe you develop a special code between yourselves. But all it really takes to listen in and use your "broadcast" is fluency in the obscure language or breaking your code. So you either need to stop talking completely (shut off your GNSS broadcast) or start plugging ears in the room (localized jamming). Not a perfect analogy but hopefully illustrative. In your example, if the US did not want Israel to use GPS positioning during a specific time period, they could 1) shut off the entire GPS broadcast (massive consequences world-wide), 2) shut off the GPS military code(s) broadcast (making them unavailable to our military also), or 3) actively jam the GPS broadcast in specific areas (close to an act of war in this example and raising some serious political questions).
I imagine most countries operating GNSS are continuously refining their military codes or developing new ones. But relying on them for security on the broadcast side is a fool's errand. All it takes is one stolen piece of hardware or white paper and your enemy has the same access.
Edited to add: when I say localized jamming I mean on the ground, as in equipment that actively interferes with the GNSS broadcast as it's reaching earth. Just clarifying that this is not possible within specific areas on the broadcast side. The broadcast is either on or off.
Did Bibi go from bad guy to good by going against Iran and not Gaza? Have you heard Trump lately? Seems he gained some backing in France and UK at UN. Big problem is that according to Gordon Duff, one time editor of Veterans Today and now at Intel Drop, has claimed serially that Israel is a nuclear terrorist state and has used tactical nukes several time to intimidate countries that don't have them. Backed into a corner, Bibi is very dangerous to everyone. He is a terrorist. He needs to go.
Gordon Duff is a virulent anti-semitic buffoon. I would find more credible source.
Thanks linden checked it out, will probably subscribe. At least as a Vietnam marine combat he has lived life. Veterans Today faces a continuous assault on its content. Has forever. What's your excuse?
This is an absolute fact! The explosion in Beirut was simply a Jewish tactical nuke dropped from an F-16. Thousands of people saw and heard the jet come in.
The Jews also used a tactical nuke in the Lebanon War in 2006. It was proven by Russians. And they used tactical nukes in Syria in Hama a couple of years before. Look at the videos of the Beirut and Syrian blasts. Only a nuclear bomb causes a blast like that.
I happen to know Gordon. He got his info on the Beirut blast from a physics professor who was an UN nuclear inspector. The Lebanese military and intelligence and the Italian government stated that the Jews dropped a nuclear bomb on Beirut.
And the US Joint Chiefs said the Jews bombed Beirut. Syrian intelligence said the Jews used a new type of unknown weapon on Beirut.
The Jews have used nukes three times in the last 15-20 years. They’re clearly the worst people on Earth.
There is also video of s massive explosion from a bomb in Yemen years before the Beirut blast. I don’t know if it was a nuke or not but it sure was a massive explosion. Some say the Jews dropped that bomb in Yemen.
It is a fact that the US used tactical nukes at Tora Bora. We also dropped a nuke 13 miles southwest of Basra during the Gulf War.
The US and the Jewish state, the two most evil countries on Earth, are of course the only nations evil enough to use nukes since 1991.
I know Gordon. He has amazing contacts. He’s an antisemite, sure, but I think his main beef with the Jews is Israel. He’s hit and miss but I think he nailed it on this nuke question.
Lots of antisemites are very credible on all sorts of things. That’s a stupid ad hominem attack.
On the subject of the GPS jamming by Israel, an iranian official had said that their missiles don't need GPS guidance.
I doubt that Russia would give Iran access to the GLONASS, and I don't know what system they use, probably something like the Tercom system.
Access to a particular GNSS doesn't have to be given, it can only be denied in specific areas with active jamming. If you have the components you can receive the signals (absent said jamming).
For example, the map below shows interference worldwide for the US GNSS (GPS). You can see around Tehran there are areas of GPS access with no notable interference. I feel certain that if the US could "turn off" GPS at will to entire countries, Iran would be on that list.
https://gpsjam.org/?lat=34.22213&lon=50.15206&z=3.0&date=2024-04-14
Don't US-GPS satellites actually have both civilian and military GPS system signals? It would make sense that the military grade GPS would be limited to only those countries that we choose to use it. Therefore, perhaps Israel cannot attack Iran with GPS guided munitions unless the US allows Israel to use the military grade GPS system, which requires a special code , or something to use it. Perhaps you can shed more light on this?
You are a real purveyor of AI propaganda.
So I stand corrected.
Thank you for the compliment.
i think he came from Matraynov's site.. there's massive rancor from the commenters there directed to you ..
AM's followers sounds like cult worshipper TBH
I can testify to that. Although I am an admirer of Martyanov's site, I did enter there once with a legitimate question for him and was immediately faced with a barrage of attacks accusing me of be a troll, all led by a big fish in a small pond called "Larch" (I believe that was his name. I never returned.
Yes, I've had the same experience with Martynov's site, so much so that I gave up trying to leave comments.
That's interesting you say that because I myself had sampled some of the comments and the first thought that struck me was: "This is basically pro-Russian NAFO."
Gosh, I suddenly feel uninformed - I have never heard of NAFO until this moment. Had to look them up. How did I miss this?
At this point - in history - it seems that the convergence between machines and non-human is in its final stages. Which means that the regurgitation of either becomes indistinguishable. Which is not limited regarding form but "content". Once you are trained - flesh or artificial - only on past data and "logic" all that comes out is artificial - without LIFE. Surely there will be advanced outliers for some time mainly based on computing power but nothing can beat INTELLIGENCE - not even Musk, Altmann, Gates & Co. relying on Nvidia.
Indeed
Hi Simplicious,have always thought you to be- "Nightvision" for the Saker Blog. Could not wait for your articles on SMO then.I think you got into problems with Saker due to your popularity (readership),i read jealousy.A.M and Saker shared the same hubris,they accuse of the West.
Can anyone tell me what the diatribe between Simp and Martyanov is all about? Something seems to have slipped by me.
Simplicus moved up in viewership and especially subscriptions much faster the AM. So Andrei launched a attack stating that Simplicus was just an uneducated amateur without the high quality military/scientific education he has.
Sort of a temper tantrum.
AM is old school ex soviet naval officer , he seem to be stuck with old ways and looked at today's events from this rose colored glasses that was tainted by his love for america .. he fled soviet after collapse and become american.
he is almost borderline sinophobic as i read his many articles constantly denigrating chinese advances and always consider china as far below Russia in tech..
it is like he is stuck in a time period where china cannot produce good gear surpassing russia like today.
the major 'diatribe' is the AM followers who acted like rabid cultists and led by a regular AM poster called 'Larc' who have personal issue with simp..
as always , never trust 100% anyone on internet.. not AM , not Simp , not me or anyone here .. use your brain to filter and firewall the crap out
Simplicius, I agree with your response. As Jonathan Swift so neatly put it,
"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him".
They’re not sending their best
It is not difficult to call someone a fake, or wrong, and leave it at that. Why don't you share your superior analysis for our enlightenment?
Simple-tonus, very unimpressed with your work. JrHigh level
You are in JrHigh. Fk off loser.
Why am I banned?
First time I've read that Russia's missile attacks on Ukraine are "sophisticated" but we all have personal definitions. Genocide, right.
Only a lover of talmudic doctrine Full-Spectrum Dominance and its fruit -- the genocide of Iraqis, Libyans, Syrians, and Palestinians -- would criticize Russians for their many attempts to prevent the ongoing war in Ukraine. Actually, this is Judea War on Russia. The war was ordered by Private Banking Cartel united with fascist mega-corporations. Russians are defending Russians resources and Russian civilization from the certified Looters who have Nazified Ukraine (since 1997) and made Ukrainians into cannon fodder.
Russia waited until April to destroy the energy grid.
Why?
Not to freeze Ukrainians to death.
Personal Definitions: Dianna Murray is a bigot.
You have obviously arrived here without having followed anything about the Ukraine, other than through accounts in the propaganda conduits that used to be Western news media. Ernesto is correct that you have got the story exactly backwards, as you would know if you made any attempt to hear both sides of the argument. I'll give three examples that should give you pause.
1) There is an American reporter, Patrick Lancaster, who lives in a purely civilian area of Donetsk city. One day a Ukrainian Tochka-U surface-to-surface missile landed in his local shopping centre. He lived only a block or two away, so he was on the scene within minutes. He recorded video of his dead and dying neighbours, and of the people trying to help the wounded, or grieving over the dead. His video was mainly one continuous shot, allowing definitive geo-location that proved he was where he said he was, and that he was reacting to events in real time. Not that there should be any doubt about that, because he already had a history of many years of truthful reporting on the Kiev government's slow genocide of the civilians of east Ukraine. (Attacks that go back over seven years before the date that you have been told was the beginning of the war.)
The "edited highlights" of his video later appeared in Western media, re-labelled as the results of a genocidal Russian missile attack on Ukrainian civilians in a totally different place. Others of his reports have been recycled in the same way. Western media have been doing this sort of thing to blacken Russia's reputation since at least 2008, during the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia. Russian live TV coverage of the Georgian shelling of civilians in Tskhinvali, the Ossetian capital, was picked up by Western media and presented as Russian shelling of Georgian civilians. Such lying coverage means that almost all Westerners still believe that Russia started that war, despite an EU investigation later confirming that, as the Russians had said all along, the Georgians started it with a surprise attack on Ossetia, and on Russian-supplied UN peacekeepers on the border.
2) Until January 2023, the principal domestic spokesman for the Ukrainian government was Zelensky's childhood friend, Oleksii Arestovych. Part of his job was to emphasise the genocidal Russian missile attacks on civilian targets that you mentioned. Normally he did his job well, and clearly convinced a lot of Westerners. But after a particularly high-casualty event in Dnipro, he let slip that the deaths and injuries were actually caused by Ukrainian anti-missile missiles, not Russian ones targeting civilians. (As, indeed, the Russians had always maintained.) For telling the truth, he was fired and placed on the Myrotvorets death-list. He had to go into hiding until he could escape into exile. His life is still at risk; these days the Ukrainian government assassins no longer restrict themselves to eliminating Ukrainian dissidents inside the Ukraine. They operate against Ukrainian, Russian and Western truth-tellers world-wide, with the scarcely-concealed connivance of Western governments.
3) On two occasions that I know of, there have been missile strikes on civilian areas that are controlled by Kiev, but which were definitely not caused by AA fire as in the Dnipro case. In each case, Western media enthusiastically reported the genocidal Russian attacks. In the first case, in Kramatorsk, the story lasted until an Italian TV crew got so close to the wreckage of the missile that its serial number was legible in their report. It proved to be right in the middle of a sequence known to be in Ukrainian, not Russian, stocks. The story disappeared over-night; Western media never corrected their initial mis-attribution of blame, so this might be one of the stories that gave you your false belief. The second incident didn't get so much coverage, as analysis of video of the missile's arrival made it pretty clear straight away that it came from Kiev-regime held territory. So it was not of so much interest to Western media, though of course they reported the bare facts in a way that gave the impression it was Russia's responsibility. I never heard whether these missile strikes were accidents, or whether they were directed against civilians by the regime on the principle that most civilians in eastern Ukraine are pro-Russian, so there is no reason not to kill them even if you already control the territory they live in.
Such cases of misrepresentation are legion, with Western media lying to make people believe Ukrainian crimes are Russian ones.
If you are a genuine seeker after truth, I am sorry that you have been misled by our conniving media, and also sorry that you received short shrift from the other people that have replied to you. But I would ask you to tolerate their irritation, as most people who come here to leave drive-by insults towards Russia are closed-minded bigots who revel in their imagined virtue in kicking the designated hate-figure that the authorities point them at. They also regard it as virtuous to refuse to listen to people who don't immediately condemn the hate-figure, thus cutting themselves off from the knowledge needed to make rational decisions for themselves and for their countries. Assuming you are not such a person, I hope you will stick around and discover that, in fact, there really is another side to the stories that you have been told.
P.L. still hasn't been demonetized or banned from YT. I do wonder why.
Your reply to me was lost somehow. I will reply here, yep.
So many butthurt jews on here in comments. Your vileness, lies, and degradation has become obvious to the world.
The weak men attack higher and better ones. Keep crushing it Simplicius.
Perhaps so, but your bias is truly showing. Israel does not ‘purposefully’ target civilians. It would be better if you indicated facts, rather than opinions.
Simplicius, do something:
Get the couple of mobile phone videos from "note the speed but also the grouping accuracy" onward in your article and play them backwards. Now what do you see?
And keep up the superb writing.
Whatever, pal. Go cry in a corner somewhere.
I was referring D.E. Johns above of course. Thanks for the update, Simplicius. Excellent as usual!
Hey Timbo. Get some. From your parents pantry.
Wow! You deliver the cut direct. Touche!
There is one accurate weapon the Resitance can to put to good use: The Suicide Bomber. Can't wait until thousands come screaming outa Gaza into Tel Aviv :) Payback's gonna be a bitch!! BOOOOM Baby BOOM !!!!!
Cut that shit out dude. If you hadn't noticed, no-one here wants to see innocent people die.
No one in the Zionist regime is innocent. Why don't you try a hunger strike and see if that brings obout the peace you seem to desire. I'll stick to Franz Fannon and Winnie Mandela.

David please find another forum. This is for critical thinkers. Thank you.
You folks are going to support a regime 80-90% of its people disdain and can do nothing about because they can’t own weapons.
This regime imprisons women for showing their face or violating a dress code.
I bet a bunch of you don’t even believe in drivers licenses etc. You carry. Etc. Which I don’t care tbh.
What is irksome is you back up scum bags like Iran who Darth Obama supports.
You call yourselves critical thinkers?

More likely a low level contractor from Unit 8200 sent here to froth up the water….in other contexts I would simply hit the ignore button and silence the creature. So far I have not found an effective way to do that on SubStack
While agree with you , the history in question is a rather recent one with a turning point in 1948. What it appears to be hinged on is the greatest case of identity theft in history.
Ok. This is the type of anti-Semite 💩 I refer to. Pretty ignorant.
You do realize most Jews in Israel descend from the region. Some migrated back from Europe certainly. They are much more reasonable than Quds and jihadis.
Virtually zero of you would survive five minutes in a room of Quds or Hamas or Hezbollah.
Pretty small thinkers.
Your last name is Guevara, right?
Arabs are Semites. Palestinians are the true descendants of the ancient Jews. -- And look what your mongrels from Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine have been doing to these true jewish descendants. Israel has become a land of jewish fascists and a safe haven for all kinds of supposedly 'jewish' jcriminals including organ traffickers and pedophiles. The mass murder of the Palestinian babies and toddlers by using white phosphorous, carpet bombing, and artificial famine has exposed jews as malicious fools.
Hamas was feeding everyone and taking good care of the Palestinians right through Oct 7 and then the Israelis attacked them for know reason I suppose.
The word Palestinian was. Ot even used until 1967. Gaza was part of Egypt. The West Bank was part of Jordan. No one was talking about inventing ‘Palestine’.
Well then, let's just rescind the Balfour Declaration, about as fraudulent and illegal as one can get. The real conflict SHOULD BE between Perfidious Albion and the Red Sea Pedestrians. The Palestinians are the ACTUAL, REAL SEMITES, as they never left Palestine.
And the psychopathic Red Sea Pedestrians will always compound failure with more failure, claim victimhood and then "Victory".
Your rhetoric is desperate, albeit useless.
European Jews are NOT Semitic.
They cannot be: they are from Europe!
The Palestinians have never left, and nor did they project violence on immigrating Jews until after the fraudulent Balfour Declaration, where they had to begin to DEFEND THEMSELVES from the non-semitic infiltrators that called them selves "Semites".
You are obviously an imposter and have completely forgotten your humanity.
Go have a ham sandwich.
Support? Support has nothing to do with this. This is analysis. Both nations could go up in nuclear fire for all I care, as long as the fallout doesn't hit the US. Most of the US, anyway. F the coasts.
I’m speaking of the comments more so than the original article. The comments supporting the Quds who are not real Iranians are pathetic.
I find the article amusing, tbh.
Why? Because you are an easily mused troll who get assigned to this block in hopes of stirring up shit?
Fuck right back off to whoever you came unless of course you are a glutton for punishment , which it appears you are…
And your Haredi are what? Zionists' idol Jabotinsky collaborated with the Ukrainian and Italian fascists. Mussolini named Jabotinsky a true jewish fascist. Learn about your roots. Incinerating Palestinian babies and toddlers with white phosphorous seems to be a great and peasant pastime for zionists. Your filthy Lobby has been attacking the First Amendment to preserve the profiteering schema of holobiz. Your dual-loyalty scum has been hurting the US interests at all levels imaginable. Is jewish fascism on the march fine with you?
Quds force had 89% support among Iranians in 2019.
Wothout the coasts you would return to the stone age
Even if true, I'd prefer it.
Getting rid of financial leaches and filthy degenerates would propel us forward, not backward.
What does any of what you wrote have to do with anything listed in this article? You got lost on your way to Reddit.
If you're so keen on bringing "American values" to the world then go sign up at your nearest Army recruitment office. You seem to enjoy having others tell you what to think anyway, you'll love it.
Seems more like Twitter. I tried it again a few months after Musk bought it, and it was still just Twitter without as much censorship. Still 99% ad-hominem, out-of-context garbage. Cancelled again within a week.
What a ridiculous and tired trope, "Join the military so they can tell you what to think." As if any participation in any 'group' doesn't do the same. Whether it's social, government, or occupational you're always being told 'what to think'. Do better.
I have to confess, I'm not sure how this is even a relevant response in the context of this thread. Your comment says a lot about you, frankly, none of it good.
I didn't figure you would be able....Have a great day.
"80-90% of its people disdain and can do nothing about because they can’t own weapons."............A high number of Americans disdain their government, have weapons and "can't do, nothing about it." Most women no doubt would prefer being imprisoned for violating a dress code, than having themselves and their children massacred by bombs and snipers.
You mean stuff Hamas pulls, I’m sure.
I hate the American government and i have guns so ... kind of checks out
The hijab law is hardly enforced anymore.
Shut up Jew
Shut up, wanker
Spot on.
Well, I swallow some well deserved profanities towards you, you are not even worth an insult.
My respects are with the Jews in and outside Israel who contradict and resist the genocide in Gaza and the inhuman occupation of Palestine. They deserve the respect you would never earn.
Simplicius quoted the Haaretz piece. I read essays by Moshe Zuckermann, like other Jews "canceled" and censored by the German government, in complicity and submission to the voelkish-nationalist regime in Israel.
What indicates to you that the author, who's report you are critiquing with the power of your arguments (/s) is a supporter of either side? I think the analysis presented is pretty solid and is supported by my own observations and those of others in my personal and professional circle, several my former peers in DoD who still do war for a living for whatever that's worth (none are Air Force though which might explain the divergence of opinion between you and I). And your comments about Iran, its government and people seem like the same tired old neocon propaganda tropes from the '70s-80s after The Iranian Revolution overthrew the Shah and humiliated the CIA.
Dude, have you ever spent time with Iranians? I’m multi branched with multiple careers. So am a bit more earthy than you researched. Got your attention though.
The Quds are not real Iranians. The actual people hate the government.
Worse than we do in the U.S.
David, how's the coffee in Tel Aviv this morning? Sunny out? I heard the weather forecast there is cloudy with a 75% chance of hypersonic incoming. Enjoy your day in the bunker. What goes around, comes around. AKA karma is a bitch.
Yeah right? Had me with: “We do in the US”. Yeah sure buddy, the fatted calf aint gonna cough up the ten million a day much longer and it looks like you might have a firepower ratio problems on your hands. Off you go, try not to make so much noise….
How about the violations of all laws and conventions by jewish fascists (zionists) in Israel and diaspora? Mossad is nothing but a branch of shtetl's midgets whose legacy boils down to the self-proclaimed terrorist gangs Lehi/Irgun, Zvi Migdal & Epstein pornographic enterprises, and thuggish assassinations world-wide. Should we add 9/11 and Dancing Israelis?
I’ve seen polls. It’s not so. They have 80% support.
Are you a Jew, John’s?
Aww now it comes out. Seems DE is a Zionist or even perhaps a Christian one? I know you can’t be a lefty so which is it Dave?
A triggered cohort of the genocidal angloZionaZi abomination floundering in khazar occupied Palestine. It's wonderful to hear those squeals of "outrage" and pain. Karma is indeed grand.
Well said. It warms the heart, it really does. And I am not gloating of feeling vengeful, it’s just a “gentle” reminder of how the universe works. All equations balance, it’s just that us mere mortals cant see it…
Just out of curiosity, I bet your Government is 80-90% better than every one else's REGIME. I have over the years come to realize the most government's ARE regimes, so please tell us how benevolent your government is.
Just out of curiosity.
Regards
Obz
Unit 8200 much?
I never even heard of “groups” you are assigning me to.
Mr Guevara…probably more dumb ass conspiracy theory.
Like Q.
I wouldn’t be shocked if someday this turns out to be another 🍯 to “rope a dope” in the words of Muhammad Ali.
Gamma male detected.
"The regime imprisons women for showing their face or violating a dress code" is just finest CNN and BBC propaganda. Just search for a YouTube or TikTok Tehran market video will show all manner of ladies some even showing off their gorgeous hair! The horror!
Move there and complain, ignorant asshole!
Bigotry is thy middle name!
Sign up for the IOF... get you away from trolling garbage.
False! My most recent poll is from 2019. The rioters have only 15% support. But that’s 7-8 million people dead set hardline ready to riot anti regime people.
Soliemani had 89% support. I think Khameini has 80% support. 78% support Velaya Al Fiqar or rule by mullahs. 85% thought the government was going too easy on the rioters! Only 15% want more social liberalism.
The Battle of the Hijab is over and the hijabless won. Go to Tehran. There are women with uncovered heads everywhere. Many carry a hijab and put it on if they see the morality police.
The law is barely enforced anyway and it wasn’t much enforced before. Some religious men take photos of uncovered women to harass them, but that’s all the problems you will get. Sometimes uncovered women fight the men taking photos.
The regime does not imprison women for showing their faces or violating a dress code. The hijab law is hardly enforced and it was barely enforced even at the time of the CIA Mossad riots.
The government has 80% support as of 2019.
Also, for intelligent linkers, rational shrinkers, analytical drinkers, and co-piloting sinkers.
What a joke Kirk. The anti semite remarks here alone tell me many really low intel people are flocking to this forum.
Personally, I think the forum author is smart and enjoys the attention to his pseudo graphic novella approach.
Which Semites are you talking about?
Yes. Good question.
The ones of mid-eastern Jewish origin vs the ones converted to Islam (Palestinians).
Kind of funny because if we were in a room with Jews and jihadis, the Jews would still protect you while the jihadis would slaughter you.
Hey Sherlock, read much?
When did I claim the Ashkenazi were local.
I didn’t.
Most gene test suggests the majority of Israelis are either Arab or Mizrah.
Read Guevara. Read.
Hi David. I do not believe that any low intellectual people read anything from Simplicius. I believe that Simplicius presents us with information to repudiate what is crammed down our throats by the puppeteers of world media outlets and governments.
I think that the term Antisemitism is being blurred with misunderstanding and under education on the term itself and the subject from a pre-term historical view to modern references. I don’t think that the term Antisemitism existed prior to the 19th century when it was politicized by National Socialist Wilhelm Marr. Prior to that it was simply prejudice. A prejudice as old as Christianity itself. With the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth in 30CE began the separation of Judaism and Christianity. It was finalized by the burning of the Second Temple by Titus in 70CE, who went on to be Roman Emperor from 79CE to 81CE. The Christian leaders at the time were intent on replacing Judaism with Christianity. The Jewish people then suffered almost two millennia of being persecuted and evicted from every country they had called home prior. They had no state to call their own and considered Palestine their home and prior to 1948 to be Palestinian referred to Jewish as well. It was the Empire of Great Britain (the west) that offered to carve a Jewish state out of Palestine (for political reasonings). In 1917 England was involved in WW1 along with the withering Ottoman Empire, Palestine had been part of the Ottoman Empire for at least four years now. The British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent a declaration to the reigning Jewish political arm of the time in England and Ireland stating the intention to create a Jewish state. He did this to encourage the Jewish state to join the war on Britain’s behalf. After the end of WW1 and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1922, the search began for the Jewish State. This declaration was instrumental in the establishment of Israel in 1948. I hope people can see why there are problems. We must not allow our anger to cloud our ability to think critically, to talk humanely , and treat each other with respect. We as Humans and for Humanity’s sake cannot allow organizations (Western, Middle Eastern, European, Asian)that use terror (beheadings, rape, kidnappings, children, starvation, sanctions, etc…) to achieve their goals. The State of Israel was created by Western Governments. Carved out of one nation for politics and religion. It is now politics and religion that once again threaten the well being of every person on this planet…and for what…a piece of dirt to call our own. :(
"The Jewish people then suffered almost two millennia of being persecuted and evicted from every country they had called home prior."
Do you think that perhaps the way they behaved in those countries could have been a contributing factor to the persecution and eviction?
Several countries invited them to settle, as they typically brought skills and a hardiness born of never being sure what next year would bring.
For example, the Ottomans were pleased to import them from Spain due to the number of artisans, and the English imported them from the Dutch for various craft skills and for the expertise they'd acquired in finance, which went to help make the Pound the world currency, which in turn assisted England to became the world's great power. Obv that only happens with the foundation of England's mastery of the sea and worldwide trade.
The Jews were also two other things: A small group, slightly but not massively different, and identifiable. When times were good they were valued, when times were bad they became scapegoats. I think any other group with those qualities might have filled that role. To what extent they were great citizens or great annoyances, I don't know. Trying to reconstruct history from 1000 years back is hard even if you have no dog in the ring.
The Bible states that among the peoples of its day, the Jews would be preserved forever. While the Bible doesn't predict the USA, atomic power or the internet, it did predict much else that has happened through history. Mighty kingdoms and empires have risen and gone, but the language and holidays Jesus knew in His youth are alive today, in the land where He inspired multitudes. Multitudes who were a few Greeks, a rebellious Roman or two, maybe, possibly dissidents from Egypt, but mostly they were of His people, who we now call the Jews.
Agreed. Many talents and skills to offer as well as dedication.
Quite possibly a contributing factor.
Cope much?
"You are one fake
Get a life."
Is that the best you got? Can you back up your claims, no? I thought so.
Ah coping much yah.
What is that? An orcish Mr. T with a goatee?
Butt hurt ashkeNAZI losers are squealing.
You can tell when they are losing - they come out of every crack.
Like a swarm of flying monkeys hoping to reign in the goyim….
You can disagree with someone without resorting to ad hominem. All you've done here is expose your stupidity.
My 80-90% comment is certainly not ad hominem.
I tend to agree with your later well-said comment but that first comment left an initial bad impression to readers. I see you're a smart man realizing you erred and corrected yourself which is noteworthy. Best wishes, David.
Mr Johns, if you don't have anything to say, please take Wittgenstein's advice and be silent.
awwww, poor baby
mommy will change your diaper, in a couple of days.
Triggered and butt hurt as Andrei would say.
Pithy stuff indeed.
Still rubbing your butt this morning from the pounding it got last night?
It turns out the merely changing the spelling of things can bring down the swelling….

UPDATE 5:40 PM EDT --
Hebrew Channel 14 TV in Israel is now PUBLICLY Reporting "The War Cabinet decided to strike Iran TONIGHT"
Hebrew Channel 14 TV Israel
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/component/content/article/dangerous-rumor-tonight?catid=17&Itemid=220
It wouldn't surprise me at all. All wisdom and sanity has gone in Israel. They're on a suicidal path, driven by rage and humiliation, the self interest of individual members of the leadership, and the deluded belief that God is on their side.
Before markets opening..
Are you actually Ilhan Omar? Thinking so
I don’t presume anything about you, or your comment. I don’t know. These are some thoughts it provoked.
What about Channel 14? It’s always prudent to understand the source. There are lots of “reports” made by lots of sources. Being “reported” means nothing in itself.
That channel’s profile is interesting. It’s audience was negligible until April 7. The profile of its audience is interesting as well, as is why 14 has become more of a voice in the Israeli public info sphere.
Is it a report based on substance, or just designed to add viewership, click bait? In even the so-called respectable legacy media a report, a headline, only means there’s a likely PR angle for some interested group.
As with everything being reported, information management (disinformation, counter disinformation, counter disinformation as disinformation, pure nonsense as plausible etc) applies. Info grooming is an interesting change to accurately assessing what’s out there in the blabber sphere.
Almost always, waiting makes better sense than believing. Rumors are fun, but what actually happens will happen. Waiting is useful.
I like your user nickname.
For that matter, Hal Turner has always been a questionable source as well - he is rarely correct in his observations and tends to rely heavily on rumour, often quoting anonymous intel sources he claims to have close association with.
A questionable, rarely correct rumor mongerer using unverifiable sources. Perfect!
Truth relies on time - which is why it is in no rush.
Lies are defeated by time - which is why they - that spread them - try to rush you to judgment.
Are they going on strike for higher wages?
I ran the translation and it said "the cabinet decided to go on strike overnight"
Lol.
If there were any substantial damage, it would be hard to hide. Anything else is wishful thinking.
Show it ....or you are just Ilhan Omar
It's too early for such an assessment, I think. All we have at this point is the word of the zionists. More truth will come out over next few days, I'm sure.
I'm agreeing with you. The article says just that. Frankly, I hope it is true.
My understanding is that Iran haas some extremely accurate ballistic missile technology and know well how to use it, so it wouldn't surprise me at all. Having said that, I would still like confirmation that that building was destroyed. Maybe the night janitor can give us an update someday.
Disagree. How many people let alone reporters get inside air force bases and HQs?
I dunno, look at Ukraine for examples of strike damage that shows up on social media.
At least now we know that iron dome work
Some are now calling it the Iron Sieve after last night
Could also be the Iron Colander.
The Iron Mirage?
Maybe it's just rusty.
Big winner as of tomorrow will be Russia as Brent(then Ural) oil prices will explode higher. VP thanks Bibi for this gift (billions more), same for Saudis and co and even...yes Iran.
It is also an incentive for Biden to not escalate as oil price is very important for POTUS vote.
Yes, let alone the possibility of the Strait being shut down by Iran. The emergency oil reserves have not been re-filled.
They were friday at their lowest ever: 17%.
Even more important for POTUS vote is the voting machine and local Dem poll workers, so I don't think he (or whoever runs him) cares that much about keeping oil prices low.
They still have to maintain an image of a good economy so that it can support masses of voters turning up for Biden. If the economy is poor, then it is hard to justify the millions of votes for Biden, even from the dead.
Any dimwit - Brandon included - would not even run the slightest risk with such bets at stake, even with a 40% margin. Your idea - based on your comment - about how REALITY works is very skewed.
..."work" I don't think that word means what you think it means. Well full credit. It will down the shit out of sugar rockets made out of sheet metal and galvanized pipe, so those aren't' getting through.
Nothing but bad news all around. With any luck, cooler heads will prevail. Unfortunately, they almost never do.
Good news for The Resistance. Good news for the worldwide opponents of Israel/US efforts to normalize genocide and sabotage even the appearance of ("unbinding") international law.
Many thanks as always Simplicius. Your work shines light into the darkness and illuminates evil for eyes to see. May the truth you so eloquently provide us feed the growing discontent of those within the demonic nephilim controlled western empire. Blessings be upon you.
The light which none of us can shine yet is the light of knowing just what the Iranians were targeting on those Israeli bases, not the nuclear plant at Dimona, but likely some specific building or structure here or there.
How did they do? Only Iran knows.

Thanks. You always provide clear analysis with the pictures to back it up.
Pictures that show exactly nothing substantive.
If you don’t like Simplicius don’t read him. It’s not that difficult. Stop whining.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-house-speaker-says-he-will-try-to-pass-israel-aid-this-week/ar-BB1lC3B0?ocid=msedgntp&pc=hcts&cvid=283f3f4b50ea4836c4650f8da84e046d&ei=10
The key takeaway is that Israel aid will be separated from any more money for Ukraine. The Senate bill is dead; the House will have to move any Ukraine package through regular order which means amendments, committee votes, etc. That all adds up to delays.
Lets hope-- you are very certain🤷♀️
I'm reasonably certain that is how it will play out. Don't forget that Marjorie Taylor-Greene has a motion to vacate dangling over Johnson's head. There is no way she lets him get away with just passing the Senate bill. Johnson appears to be playing a game of "delay, stall, and bide for time" with the Senate. At the end of the day he decides what comes to the floor.
I think you are correct. This is a difficult time for him. The Ukraine bill could result in his expulsion from his post, and frankly not too many Republicans are eager to vote for that anyway.
All orchestrated by Israel?
A major conflict in the middle east could also be part of "the plan" to disrupt domestic US policy enough to suspend or postpone the November election.
They're desperate.
Or defeat sleepy Joe, Bibi prefers Trump.
Maybe, but I think they want chaos, and they know they can't beat Trump. Trump will also be unpredictable. Bibi needs that war machine to keep going.
Did you see the vid of Kushner drooling over the coastal real estate development projects after Gaza is razed?
Trump is 100% unadulterated zionist.
Trump or Kushner? TDS?
I voted forTrump twice & was prepared to do so a 3rd time.
But he put his sil Kushner in charge of Israel policy before.
Has he given any indication of a change on that front?
Between that & his beautiful clotshots, I'm done.
Kushner is a loon to be sure, and Trump will do anything israel wants i expect.
pretty much the same here. the only thing is Trump is better than pedo joey.
God is 💯 Zionist. Read Isaiah.
LOL
Matthew 3:9-10: "And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."
Revelations 2:9"I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."
Revelations 3:9 "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but do lie."
Jesus was Jewish.
It's quite remarkable the percentage of citizens in the west that still look to elections as some sort or harbinger of change. An "if only my guy was in charge" sort of delusion. The truth is regardless of the face at the podium there's an ancient evil that individual is doing the bidding of and if they weren't loyal to the plan and part of the bloodline, they'd never be presented as a "choice".
Twain didn't say that.
More illustration that hasbara isn't the only lying going on on the internet. So many fake quotes people have bought hook, line and sinker.
Well, maybe no change over Israel, but the Nazis in Ukraine better start digging deeper holes to hide in if Trump wins.
It's very demoralizing, seeing all these normies and simps even in supposed 'based Right' circles.
"OMG this will totally affect the election that we know was fixed last time with no blow back, and the election will totally change things even though the last time we got our guy elected he just did economic crap w/o even touching the real problems!"
"The truth is regardless of the face at the podium there's an ancient evil that individual is doing the bidding of and if they weren't loyal to the plan and part of the bloodline, they'd never be presented as a "choice"."
That is exactly right.
Sleepy Joe, or whoever is behind him, wants Netanyahu gone. So does the rest of the world along with most Israelis from what I’ve heard. Trump & Netanyahu is a match made in hell.
Most Jewish Israelis seem to like the mass murder extermination event against Palestinians of Gaza and West Bank. Its one thing to condemn Netanyahu on aesthetic grounds. But the fact is that Netanyahu continues to do the genocidal dirty work that most Israeli public opinion seems to like.
That's true. I don't see any significant coalition of Israeli Jews with articulate leaders condemning overall humanitarian travesty of the ongoing genocide now primarily through the weaponization of forced famine. I see Israelis lining up to block the food trucks from getting in.
A shocking number of Western voters and the majority of "progressive" Western governments also are in favour of ruthless murder by starvation.
Yes, they all want to go back to the slow going genocide again, which was pretty successful.
It might be their total catastrophy on their second front/project, Greater Ukraine, that made them panic and go full genocidal with the Palestinians.
Why-- A lot of work for an unpredictable result. There is tons of other simpler things to do to screw up the November election.
True, but it has to be plausible so the normies don't get upset.
They don't need to postpone the election. The voting machines can produce any outcome they want. This has been conclusively proven in 2020, nothing has changed since then.
And nothing will change.
Netanyahu can’t make these decisons alone. So it can’t be put down to his need to avoid prosecution. Otherwise you seem to have covered the bases but I cannot click on your poll because we don’t know right now who’s in front of this one.
If as Natoistan states below is true then an escalation in response is already happening.
What about Netanyahu's bringing upon himself new prosecutions as the Israeli General of Genocide?
I’m not here to provide support for a man like Netanyahu, I’m just suggesting that he must have support to prosecute this. It is pointless in my view to pretend otherwise.
The utter filth that is Nuttyyahoo has support, but he also has strong opposition. The Zionist regime is in crisis and tearing itself apart.
About time the strong opposition acted then. But I suspect that's Gallant and Gantz and it will turn into "go harder".
Yeah, his opposition are more rabid than he is. My post was meant to say that, and not that they are opposing his genocidal mindset.
Fair enough.
I think the Iranians came out ahead, though it is partially because of the generally dominant position claimed by Israel. Israel defends a more expansive claim ("we can defend our state from all comers via interception") in order to deter enemies while Iran has a more measured claim ("should we be attacked again, we can strike like this again in retaliation").
Expectations are a big deal when deciding victors.
