Ritter and Johnson on Nima. Ritter lays it out again. Besides saying US will take out Iran in a similar manner as they did Iraq, says that Russia will not come to the aid of Syria. Stresses how Haniyeh’s location was known, and Hezbollah was infiltrated. Says US will use nukes if they get bogged down in Syria; Johnson concurs.

Scott Ritter has lost all credibility. It’s been incrementally happening for a month.
He’s making idiotic mistakes as an analyst, and as a human, he’s begun to betray a callous pro-American view towards human life.
His argument is that Iran has to surrender everything to America to avoid being destroyed. That didn’t work out in Libya or Iraq. America destroyed them after they bent the knee.
Also, he is like Trump, tone deaf when it comes to understanding Islam. Shia would rather die (and take down the region) than be dishonored.
Larry did follow up videos and Russia will (must) come to the aid of Iran according to his reading of the agreement.
This is a key battle for a multi-polar future. Russia won’t sit this one out. Losing this fight could be a death blow to BRICS.

Agreed, except it has happened before, when in 2022 he accused Gonzalo Lira of being an SBU agent. A year later the SBU arrested and tortured Gonzalo to death.
Be very careful with Ritter.

Temper tantrums are no big deal until the baby is armed with nukes and has a disregard for both human life and international law.
America is the only country to nuke and did so to create intimidation, IMO.
I put nothing beyond them. Cornered animals are at their most dangerous.
I think the Israeli genocide is 100% American policy. I believe they would torch the world to rule the ashes, Amtrak Wars style, if faced with a profound loss of dominance.

Note that Israel has probably already used tactical nukes in Syria. Tartus on 1 December, and later in Homs. The Tartus site is now showing a rate of contamination higher than the Fukushima disaster. It could (I suppose) be put down to the used of DU explosives, but the simplest answer is probably correct.
The IDF were also said to be going to use nukes in their earlier attempt to bomb Iran. The one that was thwarted by Russia(?). Since Netanyhu is mad and has no limits, the question is whether the US and Russia want a nuclear war to break out – just to keep Netanyahu out of jail and feed his obsessions.

How many European nations does that now make, that their leaders won’t enforce the ICC’s arrest warrants – of war criminals – mind you the EU bigwigs also back the Zio-Monsters, and the Neo-Nazi’s in Ukraine – Europe is now one ugly nasty place.
“Belgian Prime Minister @BartDeWever declared that Belgium will not execute the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu. With this statement, the Belgian Prime Minister signaled a refusal to uphold international law and a willingness to shield a war criminal wanted by the ICC.
As a State Party to the Rome Statute, Belgium has a clear legal obligation to cooperate with the Court, including executing arrest warrants.”

Here we go again with the nukes.
Yes, it is always possible that the US elite, fearing loss of their “credibility” in front of the world, and having nothing left but force, might be tempted to use nukes. This would mean against non-nuclear countries only however, especially as Trump himself said that a nuclear war would be “oblivion,” the first time a sitting president has so clearly denounced the idea of “winning” a nuclear war. Unfortunately, that would still not necessarily prevent an escalatory slide into nuclear war with Russia, China, or North Korea, but it is not currently the intention when nuclear threats are issued. So Iran could be a potential victim of that (but probably not Syria, because of Turkey, the nearness to Israel, and the fact the HTS are trying to please the US, though their pleasing Israel is impossible).
However, the policy wonks, such as they are, probably should consider that US nuclear policy since World War II has already relentlessly encouraged proliferation, particularly in the cases of the USSR, China, and North Korea, and any first use of any nuclear weapons by anyone, but especially the US, would lead to every country capable of doing so adopting nuclear weapons the next day. Maybe, if Japan were convinced that it was still under the US nuclear umbrella, the servile Japanese could be persuaded to refrain, but it would seem to me likely that most other states which could do so would immediately adopt nuclear weapons, including Canada and Mexico, also most European and other Latin American countries, at least the larger ones, like Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Argentina (and the Chile, etc.). I think the respect having nuclear weapons would force the US to grant them as nuclear powers would outweigh the drawback of earning US dislike, and the US uniparty elite already hate everybody else anyway, or merely instrumentalize them as weapons to be wielded by the uniparty, with no moral or ethical qualms at all. There would also be nuclear dominoes adopting in series, as in the series China>India>Pakistan, as states adopt nuclear weapons because their neighbors have them.
So I think there is a plenty big reason for restraining oneself from a new first use of nuclear weapons. But unfortunately there are also those in the military security apparatus who are just drooling over the possibility of using them, so we’ll see whose idea prevails. Common sense is way against any such use.

“Ritter and Johnson on Nima. ”
Ritters golden pager was when they took his passport. Im sure there has been more diet coke. When that guy from the Bronx told Ritter he had chose the wrong brand diet coke was bad for his health that was classic. Now Ritter is just sucking up to Trump trying to get his passport back. If he ever gets it he will go on a trip and not return. Ritter goes down as a unregistered foreign agent when the neoliberals return.

When a cartel communicates with you it can be quite enlightening. Sometimes people forget whose world it is and a tiny reminder is sent about how things work. After consideration people decide its not so important to express themselves.
Diet coke did not work with Ritter so they destroyed his most valid possession. Ritter is a celebrity in Russia. Its a long swim.
Ritter now realizes his mistake. He could have opined on Russia and Ukraine to the end of time. Middle east not so much. He waited too long. He took one his daughters to scout last trip. Now its I luv Trump bomb Iran Barbaraaanne hoping for a passport return. Ritter understands the seriousness of his situation now.
Does that mean he is right or wrong? No nobody knows.Nor do I judge him Or worship him. Ritter is just another fool with a ego like all of us. But his analysis is not genuine now.
My guess is Trump isnt quite nuts enough to nuke Iran. If he does every last particle of TDS was if anything understated. TDS was fantasy make believe. Nuking Iran would be truth stranger than fiction.
I think Wilkerson calls this one correctly. This is classic Trump. Threaten then try to negotiate. Trump aint that deep. And now… he is old. This aint the 2016 Trump.
But who knows with these insane toad lickers. With the trend of each president being revealed as successively more insane Biden is a hard act to follow but nuking Iran would definitely put Trump out of the red into the black. Yes nuking Iran is the end of industrial civilization but look at the positive. The TDS practitioners can say I told you so.

The Zio-Monster level of sexual abuse against Palestinians is off-the scale.
“The UN Commission report contains five separate sections on the Zionist entity’s weaponisation of sexual abuse; “sexual harassment and public shaming of Palestinian women”; “filming and photographing acts of sexual violence against men and boys during arrest”; “sexual violence during ground operations including at checkpoints and evacuations”; “sexual, reproductive and other gender-based violence in detention”; “sexual and gender-based violence by settlers and other civilians.” Each is rife with repulsive descriptions, and stomach-churning attestations.
While ranking circles of hell is a tawdry task, the section detailing sexual violence directed towards male and female Palestinian detainees is most vital to examine. The sheer scale of abuses documented, and consistency of accounts provided by victims imprisoned in over 10 separate Israeli military detention facilities, means it cannot be plausibly argued this savagery is aberrational, or attributable to ‘rogue’ ZOF militants or units. It can only be deliberate, determined policy, signed off and directed at the highest levels.”

Scott betrayed too much detailed information to be a credible objective analyst, IMO.
He’s either leaking classified information or he’s complicit.
I think he’s so obsessed with a nuclear threat and so hyper-American that he forgets the world has changed. Iran has never been militarily stronger. Iran has bought spies all over Israel. America can’t even open the Red Sea after years of trying, and weeks of aggressively pursuing that goal under Trump.
Like Trump, Scott thinks it is 2002.

As proof of how far off the reservation that Ritter has wandered, the guy who freaks out about anyone breaking the NPT is him suggesting that America may nuke Iran without batting an eye at the obvious inconsistency that America using nukes to uphold the NPT (which Iran has not violated) is to be expected and he doesn’t condemn.
Sony Thang, a Vietnamese anti-imperialist analyst, took him to task on Twitter over the last 2 weeks.
It’s not just that interview, Scott holds a lot of quasi-Zionist views about Imperial power and morality.
He sees nothing wrong with attacking Iran because they enriched to 60%, which is still legal. What a confused man. I pity him.

I believe this is more about Iran on the verge of becoming a superpower, with BRICS getting them past sanctions.
Much of what the Empire does is colonialism, which includes “snuffing out” competitors. Competitors like Iran, Russia, and China.
That North-South trade corridor will make Greater Israel redundant, and from an anti-China perspective, must be stopped at all costs or the East will rule the world.

You are putting words in Scott Ritter’s mouth. Ritter has not said he expects Iran will back down and become subservient. I expect better out of you, and this doesn’t fit your previous comments which are usually high quality/
You say Russia will come to the aid of Iran if it is attacked because Iran is an important part of BRICS. I wish I could simply believe that, but we have the very sad example of Syria, wheos allies allowed Syria to be destroyed in Total War. Under US control, Syria’s oil was sold to Israel at $12,50 a barrel by Erdogan’s son-in-law. The wheat fields of NE Syria did not feed Syria. The Empire used Total War and won. Don’t give me imaginary fables of Bashir al-Assad being “corrupt”, as Prof. Marandi did – without a shred of evidence! The Syrian security state and the Syrian Arab Army generals held Syria together 1946-2024, under various leaders. If in 2024, those generals sold out Syria to rich Gulf sheikhs, it would have been only because Syria was allowed to get into a desperate state of impoverishment. Of course Syria was a sovereign state, free to commit suicide, but their friends could have and should have done more. I have lost a lot of trust in both Russia and Iran, and now I would not state categorically that Russia would come to the aid of Iran in any decisive way if the US attacks. Russia might, but it might not. Syria was a big loss. I understand that no one wants to do a post-mortem in public, but I certainly hope that has already happened behind closed doors in Tehran and Moscow. It’s correct to say that Russia should help protect Iran because BRICS largely depends on Iran. It’s also correct to say that so far the U.S. has not attacked Iran because Iran would inflict extremely serious damage on the U.S. and the world economy.
The problem is that now the US is not being driven -not by rational people, but by baby-killing Zionists. Russia also has its own problems, both with the proxy war in Ukraine and with the Zionists inside Russia. I am not a doomster. Eventually evil will be defeated, but we are facing a long and hard road.

The Iranians want peace, but they will not abandon resistance. Resistance to Shia is everything. The culture, religion, and history are rooted in confronting humiliation and struggling to defeat it.
It’s a foreign concept to most other cultures to be willing to die fighting oppression in this era.
I have no sympathy for the Arab states that have not done anything tangible for Palestine. Hypocrites get special mention in the Quran. Every situation they are in is of their own design.
South Africa has done more for Palestine than the kingdoms, IMO. South Africa has Muslims, but they do not rule the state and never have.
The kingdoms are Israel’s Islamic shield in the region, bought and paid for by America and the UK.

He’s making some very poor arguments particularly regarding the non-proliferation treaty.
I wanted to suggest a scrolling through the comments. It seems to be universally in agreement against Ritter and supportive of Larry Johnson.
Ritter argues against himself. This captures it:
“Scott Ritter, I don’t care that Iran signed a non-proliferation treaty or not. Neither lsrael or America abides by any treaty they sign. It is possible that they have broken every treaty they’ve signed.
Judging by their last behavior, why should Iran not go ahead and develop nuclear weapons? They should quickly develop a whole arsenal of nuclear weapons.”

Like many in the realest camp, it was Gonzalo Lira himself that said if he were ever captured to consider him compromised.
Scott Ritter wholeheartedly agreed with that. In fact so do I. If any of us are taken into custody you should assume we are compromised.
As a similar example, you really can’t trust doing business with American citizens. This isn’t because they are in any way like their government. It is because they can be put under gag orders and breaking them gets you put in a deep black hole. Very scary.

Iran has sent notices to Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Turkey and Bahrain that any support for a U.S. strike on Iran, including the use of their national airspace, territory or bases by the U.S. military during the attack, would be considered a hostile act, according to an Iranian official who spoke to Reuters.

Because I am always trying to understand strategy, if America nukes Iran, Russia and China cannot let it go. They might be next. It’s not a determination that they can make casually or not have plans for in advance.
I haven’t figured out what happens if Israel nukes someone. Israel is America as far as I am concerned, but Russia and China cannot easily go right back at the Zionists, which would give America a casus belli to nuke the Axis, drawing in the UK and France. Eventually India and Pakistan. It may become a race to not be the last to launch.

The Israel project dooms white westerners to extinction at the next ice age
Within the next few hundred or thousand years, glaciation will return. Fossil fuels and CO2 emissions will be long gone, and fantasies of warming with them. The current temporary interglacial interval will end giving way to the return to glaciation that is normal for the Pleistocene era that we are very much still in.
Draw a horizontal (east-west) line through the middle of North America and Europe. North of Virginia, Valencia and Vienna, everything will be back under a kilometre or two of ice. A few pages forward in our unfolding history book of the world. You didn’t know this??
So if you live in Britain or Germany or Canada or most of the USA, that open air that you see as you look out of your window, will be solid ice.
So much for the basic geology. Let’s move on to how this will affect human populations. Humans evolved white skin in response to the Holocene interglacial, that is, the latest of a few dozen interglacial intervals during the 2.7 million year old Pleistocene era. 12,000 years ago, the prior deep glaciation ended. The rapid deglaciation of high latitude Eurasia and America led to humans moving into the new pastures uncovered by retreating ice. The thin sunlight of those newly habitable high latitudes led to reduction in skin melanin pigmentation to allow more vitamin D production necessary for humans. We whites are creatures of the Holocene. The spread of white-skinned people from present day Scandinavia and Russia all over Europe, happened only 5-6000 years ago.
The inevitable converse implication of this is that white skin will become an embarrassment at the end of the Holocene interglacial and the coming glacial inception. This slow train is coming and will come, nothing (save maybe a meteor impact ending all life on earth) can stop it. It is determined by orbital trajectories of the earth, sun and planets (eccentricity, obliquity and precession) which are not affected by CO2.
Mass migration toward the equator
Obviously at glacial inception, there will be a forced migration from high latitude cold regions to warmer low latitude regions. Everyone in the countries and regions mentioned above will become a climate refugee, migrating equator-ward looking for a new home. And hoping to find people friendly toward them and inclined to share their living space with them. Umm – yuh. Good luck with that.
This glacial inception and return of high latitude glaciation will of course not happen overnight, it will happen over a few centuries – which is actually super-fast by geological standards. Flips in our regulated chaotic climate system from one attractor to another, such as interglacial to glacial build up slowly but eventually transition quite fast.
Even so, the slow cooling toward deglaciation will lead to substantial episodes of forced migration within people’s lifetimes.
Israel: what happens when whites move south
When climate driven migration toward the equator begins, the people living in the low latitude warmer regions will, understandably, look to history to ask themselves the question, “what can we expect to happen when white Europeans move south?” Do they integrate nicely? Do they show respect and reasonable accommodation with their new, less white-skinned, hosts and neighbours?
Then they will come across the history of Israel. What white Europeans actually did when they moved in on the Palestinians. Not much integration. Not much respect, or accommodation. But quite a lot of genocide, ethnic cleansing, enslavement and humiliation.
These people will as a result be strongly resistant to any pleas for hospitality from the habitual pirates and colonisers from the north. This is not of course about white skin – they will be much more welcoming of Russians, the only non-colonising non-piratical northern Eurasian peoples. The same for China.
The point is – sooner or later everyone north of Bologna or Bakersfield will have to find a new home. So being nice to other people, horribly unnatural and communist as it might seem, could be a survival strategy for your descendants that is worth considering. (Or you could just write off your descendants as communists and keep on with business as usual.)
Conclusion: the precedent of Israel, and many other supremacist colonialist projects by white Europeans, will affect how non-Europeans in warmer countries will react to lighter-skinned climate refugees from the north. At the next glacial inception, when global glaciation returns, white westerners will struggle to find a welcome in any southern nations and peoples, particularly those they have attacked and colonised in the past. And the spectre of Israel will inform the world what to expect if white westerners set up shop on your country.
In the overall historic context white westerners have done nothing essentially in relation to the rest of the world other than “steal, kill and destroy”. It served us well for a long time. But when glacial inception comes, we will need to learn how to live in homes carved out of kilometer deep ice. On the walls of our igloos we can of course proudly hang the portrait of Chaim Ariel Weissman.

I am not a nerd, but my father was and I think I tried to be the opposite of that. I ask myself questions like why do the Jews hate Islam so much? Is it because the Khazar criminals were never able to achieve the lucidity of being at peace with Allah that the Jews still had?
Are the Ukrainian Neocons and Netanyahu really about destroying Judaism and replacing it with a criminal, Nazi entity using US hegemonism as the means, and eschatology as an excuse?
This appalling sexual violence and destruction of human necessities for the peoples of Sham must surely originate from inadequacy, not strength.
In their own weird Nazi logic, it is these moral inadequates that should be being genocided rather than the people of Faith. What does that tell us about the moral midget hypocrites of the Gulf States, that they protect these Khazar criminals sheltering in their midst?
Why do USUKIS have to ship in Uighyr Mongols to kill the locals, when the locals have lived in stable harmony together for thousands of years?
If the Muslims put their minds to fight these Khazars and these Islamist Gulfie hypocrites like MB Qaradawi, they would find out that they are pathetic cowards , hiding under the petticoats of Crusading Westerners.

JessDTruth 27 – RF is kind of busy at the present moment with SMO attempting recapture the four eastern oblasts from the Ukronazis and fight off NATO at the same time.
Not sure what happened in Syria, whether it was the inability to get sufficient ground, air and naval forces into the Syrian theater of operations in sufficient time to put down the staged Turk, CIA, MI6, SA invasion or whether they just did not care……..
Staging a massive emergency airlift to its bases in Latatkia was probably not practical for RF. Exactly who was going to give them overflight rights….Iraq? well maybe, definitely not Turkey. Plus the IDF was dominating the air space…….yes I know RF had fighter aircraft at Tartus, but again advantage to Syria enemies.
The US, IDF, Turks and MI6 knew this full well and took the opportunity to stage this invasion at this time of strain in RF capacities…..
And horribly Alawite and Christian villages are now being leveled……..and civilians slaughtered…..

William Rodriguez worked in WTC for 20 years. He was hailed by a hero by the press following 911 from the MSM for bringing several badly burned individuals to medical attention. When his first testimony was heard he was quickly dropped by the MSM. He was not permitted to testify at the 911 commission investigation. His testimony was that a detonation occurred in the basement prior to the planes impact. All the people he brought to medical attention came from the basement. William was on the ground floor. That the people he brought to medical attention were from 100 floors up is a physical impossibility.

In regard to your post “US Deploys Second THAAD Battery To Israel As Regional Tensions Mount”, the first US THAAD was delivered to Israel shortly after Iranian missile attack in October 2024
This was required because Iran was able to take out important Israeli radar with their 2nd missile strike on the Israeli Nevatim Air Base
I don’t imagine either of the two THAAD systems will last long if all Hell breaks loose following a US-

The Glorious Quran clearly explains the history of the arrival of Islam and among which people in which order.
The biggest jump was converting the pagan Arabs (many of whom had several different Gods) to Islam, which was the great struggle of the Prophet (SAW). They tried to catch and kill him, and he went on hijrah (pilgrimage) to Medina to avoid assassination, where he established Islam alongside the local Jewish tribes (who mostly betrayed him for political reasons) and some of the local people of Medina (who became known as the “Helpers”).
From there, he was later able to return to Mecca and to take the city almost bloodlessly, mostly through clever diplomacy.
The big crossing over with Christians was when the earliest converts in Mecca fled to Abyssinia (Ethiopia), where the King (Negus) was Christian, and he protected and sheltered them from Arabs sent to fetch them back to Mecca to be punished for converting to Islam.
Eventually, those refugees returned to Mecca, and from there some of them joined the Prophet (SAW) in Medina, to become known as the “Emigrants”.
I can’t remember if all of that is in the Quran, but I believe all of it is uncontroversial among Islamic scholars. There is a well-documented history that is very aggressively tested for quality of sources and claims. Hearsay doesn’t get very far in Islam. The Gospels of this or that person would mostly be inadmissible under Hadith science.
I don’t think many Christians know anything about Islam. Jesus (Isa) (peace be upon him) is a Prophet, and an entire chapter (a surah) of the Quran is dedicated to the story of Mary.
All of this is written to the best of my imperfect study and memory. Everything correct that I have written came from Allah SWT, and everything wrong was from me.

He’s making some very poor arguments particularly regarding the non-proliferation treaty.
I wanted to suggest a scrolling through the comments. It seems to be universally in agreement against Ritter and supportive of Larry Johnson.
Ritter argues against himself. This captures it:
“Scott Ritter, I don’t care that Iran signed a non-proliferation treaty or not. Neither lsrael or America abides by any treaty they sign. It is possible that they have broken every treaty they’ve signed.
Judging by their last behavior, why should Iran not go ahead and develop nuclear weapons? They should quickly develop a whole arsenal of nuclear weapons.”

I read the recent earthquake was too deep to be a test, but still pretty coincidental.

There aren’t words strong enough to describe the cowardice and depravity of a “military” that will methodically execute medical workers, bury them in mass graves, and tell the NYT the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without lights on.
These soldiers and their superiors are utterly depraved and a threat to all humanity.
Before hiding the bodies in a mass grave, they forgot to grab the cell phone of one of the medics who recorded his own assassination for the world to see — if it cares.
As the “soldiers” are nearing their vehicle, and the medic knows they will murder him, you can hear him saying: “Forgive us, everyone. Oh God, accept me as a martyr and accept my repentance. Oh mother, forgive me, this is the path I have chosen to help people.”

Ya know…. Scott Ritter isn’t just highly emotional. He simply can’t resist reading comments. He gets really ticked.
So what did he make of the comments in the dialogue Works video with Larry johnson? Is he going to respond to this barrage of Suspicion?
Importantly, should one of us send him a link to today’s moon of Alabama thread? (Wink)
He presents a fair question. Will the US resort to using nukes as a first resort or a last one? Because I think he’s right that they would use them if they lose this conflict.
Scott’s message is subject to interpretation. It could be indirect. What he seems to be saying is that it is essential that Iran immediately get the bomb. I like messages that have layers.

I know E. Michael Jones was asked to come and give a talk in Iran about his book, The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit. He was investigated while back in the states about his visit to Iran. While there giving the talk, he spoke to some members of the political class, Shi’a, who asked him if he had encountered trouble being a Catholic in Iran. He said no and the Iranian said that Jesus will be there at the end of the world in Muslim eschatology.
E. Michael Jones said that he would want to be there too, then.

Apparently the Zionazis are now claiming that murdering the Red Crescent workers was a “mistake” and promise to investigate.

No , the soldiers who lied will be given medals for exemplary military service. The only punishing I worry about is British servicemen working underground for unit 8200 thinking that they are safe from God’s angels recording them assisting the genocide.
Eternal hell fire and no redeeming Blair to take full responsibility for everything and no Jesus.

the “60 Minutes” on Sunday, April 6, showed a segment of Gaza – the hell on earth, with pictures of killed and wounded people, and interviewed an American physician who volunteered in Gaza hospitals. I was surprised to see this – very graphic, so far those images were not seen in that length and graphic way. The American physician was very good at his description of facts.
The timing could not be better – on Monday Mr Netanyahu will be guest at the WH…..maybe it was intentional by CBS? who knows.

About Ritter,
One thing he said during the interview with Larry Johnson and Nima.
He mentioned that the fight with Iran would be existential for America.
Was that a slip-up? Did he mean existential for Israel or America, or Israel, which is America?
An attempt to destroy Iran and kill the leadership, as he was so sure would happen, surely would be existential for the Islamic Revolution and Shia Islam?
Because I listened to that twice, I thought it was weird. It was in one of those manic moments when he goes all “I am a real American!”, tearing his shirt off on the podcast.
That’s the issue with being emotional. It suppresses reason.

When they say “mistake” I always read this as the mistake made in the cover up, rather than the crime.

In view of Arab hatred of Shi’a Islam , and the poisonous insults and sectarian violence between them, Scott Ritter may have been suggesting that Saudi Arabia, which already funds and trains Mujahideen in Myanmar, would become their principle theological partner in hegemonising Asia.
Usama bin Laden requested Bush to allow Political Islam to destroy Sufism, which is no part of Islam. China remains a target for Islamist Conquest. It’s an ambitious plan.
Political Islam regards the Palestinians as Sufis, which is I suspect the main reason why the Gulf Arabs have done nothing to save them.
The fly in the ointment for political Islam’s ambitions to use the US to rape Asia is that Political Islam regards individual rights and freedom in the same way as Nazism, as stuck-up, personal Entitlement , and most of the Christian and Muslim world regards individual rights and freedoms as the main legacy of Islam, via Moses, Jesus or Muhammad , blessi gs and peace be on all of them.
Scott Ritter uses the word existential because a US alliance with Saudi Islamism would mean that the future of the world is different flavours of NAZI Totalitarianism.
Bollocks, but attractive to some arseholes in Political Islam.

“mistake”

@JoeBrolly1993
Israel mistakenly assassinated 15 medical personnel? Then mistakenly buried their bodies in a mass grave? Then mistakenly lied about it? Until the mobile phone footage appeared.

Even the BBC is quick to help the genociders explain it as a “mistake”.

This must be a “mistake” as well…

BREAKING: Israel bombed a tent sheltering journalists at Nasser Medical Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.
Footage shows the tents engulfed in flames — with a journalist trapped inside, burned alive.
This is not the first time Israel has targeted members of the press in Gaza. It’s part of a systematic effort to silence the truth.

How about Tulsi?
WTF happened THERE?

Same shit that happens to everyone the Elders of Zion select to front their operation:
You are taken into a dark little room that has no walls but shadows where walls should be.
The burley CIA official, courteous and polite up to this point, puts a firm hand on your shoulder, forcing you into a hard metal chair.
Presently the sound of a trolly being wheeled towards you echoes in the blackness, a soft glow fills the void before you but does not penetrate the wall of shadows.
A bright blue star of Remphan appears on the screen, followed by images of your parents, children, friends, lovers, spouse… Everything you hold dear. The pictures are taken from unexpected vantage points: Inside your home, vehicle, offices. Places no camera should be.
The images fade eventually, replaced by the flag of Israel before the screen goes black, as if swallowed by the shadows.
A minute goes by like an hour. A high pitched voice, old and heavily Eastern European in accent pierces the darkness:
“Remember now … This is our little secret.”
Trembling, you get up, turn around and shuffle numbly towards the square illuminated rectangle of a distant open door.
As you exit into the grey light of Pentagon’s offices you dab a napkin to your face, surprised to find the cold, salty wetness of tears dripping from your cheeks

Tulsi succumbing was really disappointing, I agree 100%. I shouldn’t have been shocked, I guess, especially after she was approved by the AIPAC congress.
