BlogviewPepe Escobar Archive Empire of Chaos Takes War on BRICS to Next Level◄►◄►▲▼ • B They came. They bunker-busted. They fled. And then they set the stage to control the narrative via a massive P.R. operation. POTUS hailed the “spectacular” victory of B-2s flying from the US to West Asia to release MOPs (“Massive Ordnance Penetrators) over Fordow in the middle of the night of June 22 (significantly, the same date of the start of Operation Barbarossa in 1941).
Bullseye On Israel

6 days ago | unz.com | Mike Whitney

Everybody cut the bullshit for once. Trump wasn’t “dragged into” this war. He and Netanyahu knowingly manufactured it, through the fake negotiations of his fake diplomat Witkoff, engineered to give Israel the pretext for launching the war, which he officially joined 9 days later.

No Roles for Men

The feminist attack on gender roles has been successful. There are no more gender roles. The tall British police constable with his high helmet and night stick who walked his beat and knew the neighborhood is no more. He has been replaced by petite women riding around in a car with a radio with which to call for help. For the first time since MI6’s founding in 1909, 116 years ago, a female has been appointed head of James Bond’s MI6.
The Crux of the Problem is NATO on Russia’s Borders

1 week ago | unz.com | Paul Roberts

Have you noticed how many wars there are without being declared? Israel launches a military attack on Iran and Iran retaliates, but there is no declaration of war. Israel will attack again, and Iran will again respond by retaliating. But neither country is at war. Russia has been in conflict with Ukraine since February, 2023, but it is a Special Military Operation, not a war. Russia’s strategic triad was attacked, but it was merely a terrorist action, not an act of war.

The attack killed the Iranian commander of the Revolutionary Guards, the deputy chief of the army and several scientists, destroyed facilities and residential housing. Washington disavows any responsibility for Israel’s act of war, but was quick to assure its Israeli master that the US would protect Israel from Iranian “aggression” should Iran respond to the attack.

First Thoughts on the Israeli Strikes

Kevin MacDonald Archive First Thoughts on the Israeli Strikes◄►◄►▲▼ • B Yesterday I posted an article saying Trump told Netanyahu to hold off attacking Iran. Israel did it anyway. This says a lot. Israel has never been subservient to the U.S. Indeed it’s the other way around, with the powerful Israel Lobby dominating Congress and often the president, with the result of thousands of American lives and many billions of dollars spent in the region. I should have known that.
