Posted by: Avtonom | Apr 26 2026 14:57 utc | 6 We need a major change from the corrupt and captured Status-quo system. The definitive defeat of Israel would be a major, positive change for most citizens of the world. So everyone who wants this result should pull for Iran. Iran should not fear complete victory. It has more supporters than the captured media will ever acknowledge. Posted by: GMST | Apr 26 2026 15:03 utc | 7

Miqdad had been providing civilians with a rare means of communication amid ongoing electricity cuts. The strike killed him and destroyed the facility, further limiting access to basic services and connectivity for residents.” Posted by: El.Lissitzky | Apr 26 2026 15:15 utc | 11 @ michaelj72 Posted by: El.Lissitzky | Apr 26 2026 15:17 utc | 12 About the alleged attempt to kill Trump: Posted by: Biswapriya Purkayastha | Apr 26 2026 15:25 utc | 14 At least people seem to have stopped calling him Dima.

Posted by: Arch Bungle | Apr 26 2026 15:28 utc | 16 The yuan is emerging as a secondary payment system. India used the yuan to pay for Iranian oil during the 30-day waiver period. This was their first purchase of Iranian oil since US sanctions were re-imposed in 2019. Now, it is a test of India’s resolve to forge its own path, specifically whether it will keep buying oil from Iran even after the 30-day waiver expires. The yuan payments were routed through the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Bank’s Shanghai branch. Posted by: terminator3 | Apr 26 2026 15:28 utc | 17 Here is an excellent article on Uranium enrichment, and how quickly Iran could create nuclear weapons if it had to with its current stock of 60% enriched Uranium once a decision is made to acquire nuclear weapons.

Posted by: Vragtes | Apr 26 2026 17:18 utc | 38 All the NYT/BBC/AP/Reuters/Guardian Zionist scum now salivating over the murderous bombing of Iran would cry endless crocodile tears. Why? Because they consider Iranians, Palestinians, Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans, Syrians to be sub-human, while they, the Zionist Jewish supremacists are human. They admit this openly and with glee. Posted by: Ahenobarbus | Apr 26 2026 17:20 utc | 39 Record number of IDF weekend wartiors commiting suicide (Times pf India report) Purely personal reasons or do they have a moment of clarity about how vile they truly are? Posted by: Waldorf | Apr 26 2026 17:34 utc | 40 Vragtes | Apr 26 2026 17:18 utc | 38 Journalist Suhaib Al-Masalma “Psychological-informational reading At a moment when statements are intensifying and their intensity is escalating, Donald Trump’s speech about the Middle East emerges in an unusual form. Quick, direct statements, and sometimes outside the traditional political format, raise serious questions about the nature and trends of this discourse. By tracking this pattern, it is noted that some statements have a repetitive nature of verbal impulsiveness, which makes them appear strange or inconsistent in the eyes of the recipient at times. Readings in leadership psychology indicate that such a style may be linked to multiple factors, including advanced age, the pressure of constant media presence, in addition to a personality style that relies on trauma as a means of influence. In the media, these statements do not stop at the borders of opinion, but rather become tools for reshaping the scene, as they move from being part of the event to becoming the event itself, in a scene that reflects a clear ability to direct the compass of coverage and create controversy. On the political level, this discourse, with its unconventional character, may be used in broader contexts that go beyond the apparent meaning, whether to test reactions or to create spaces for media pressure within a complex and interconnected international environment. In conclusion, and between those who see it as a direct speech and those who consider it a reflection of an uncontrolled impulse, the reading of this pattern remains linked to a broader context, as some estimates indicate that this media presence may intersect to varying degrees with deeper systems of influence within decision-making circles. That is, Donald Trump’s statements, although they seem personal and direct, may sometimes reflect broader trends or interests within decision-making centers, and may be used as part of a speech that serves greater goals than just an individual opinion.

Posted by: tobias cole | Apr 26 2026 18:11 utc | 50 Posted by: Roberto | Apr 26 2026 18:12 utc | 51 See link at post number 22 … I really enjoyed Professor Wolff’s explanation of the significance of the decline of the “petro dollar.” His explanation of the significance of the UAE seeking emergency “dollar swaps” shows what is really going on and why – the seismic change would be big market players selling off treasuries and U.s stocks to raise dollars to pay debts that are coming due. That can’t happen but will happen without new dollar swap terms. Iran knows this. China knows this. Russia knows this. America knows this. Europe knows this. Even I know this. If this war doesn’t end soon, it will be too late to prevent an economic and financial meltdown like we’ve probably never seen.

How much proven reserves does the US have? Outputting at this level for an extended period of time won’t put them in a critical situation in terms of resources? Where is all this oil and gas coming from?! Posted by: bored | Apr 26 2026 18:34 utc | 56 Posted by: Roberto | Apr 26 2026 18:12 utc | 51 Posted by: Sebgo | Apr 26 2026 18:35 utc | 57 @45 Sebgo Maybe the whole concept only works because it leads people to believe they have been completely outnumbered by stupid people. Mind you… ‘two party’ politics would provide definitions of the stupid other, and a lot of people seem to relish in that, so maybe people really are that stupid. I don’t know, and if I were clever enough I suppose I would know, so I guess we are all dumb ? Fortunately there are also a lot of people who have ‘real world experience’, and they are not so easily fooled. Posted by: Ornot | Apr 26 2026 18:36 utc | 58 @karlof1 | Apr 26 2026 18:20 utc | 54
That is definitely a plausible hypothesis, but we can’t know if it is a correct one. But since he hasn’t been shown public it is not unlikely. Good point.

I posted these links before but it never hurts to repost in case anyone missed them. They quote the Talmud directly in Hebrew with the English translation on the side. Folio and verse included so anyone can look it up to make sure it’s authentic. They even have the official Jews College Soncino Talmud fully scanned and uploaded so you can quote and link to it.

I suspect the majority of Canadians are too busy with their own lives to worry or care much about the killing fields in the Middle East. Serious protests like the truckers blockade in Ottawa failed to do much but get their bank accounts frozen. daily mass public protests of a hundred thousand people in major cities across Canada might move the needle, eventually. Public self immolations on the steps of parliament in downtown Ottawa would raise s few eyebrows.
