Here is a point I made in an earlier posting. It came at end of the comments, so must have been missed by most readers.
Someone had asserted, “…but Trump isn’t Jewish…” It’s critically imoortant to know that Trump is very much a Jew, so I’m taking the liberty of posting it again.
=====

Trump’s father was a crypto-Jew pretending to be Lutheran. It was his way of serving his fellow Jews and also thereby taking a big step up in the Jewish world. In that capacity he was a member of the KKK (set up as an anti-Jewish organization), and was arrested with six others all in full gear in a riot in New York in 1927. He went on to become the head of the Queens chapter of the KKK. Donald’s mother’s father was a Presbyterian Scot but she was in all probability halachically Jewish. The way in which her records have been distorted suggests a cover-up. Trump’s father wanted his sons to continue the crypto business, but his older son Freddie, the nice one, was having none of that. As soon as Freddie got to college, at Lehigh, he came out as a Jew by joining the Jewish fraternity, Sigma Alpha Mu. You couldn’t do that in the 50s unless you were a Jew. And, especially, you couldn’t go on to become the head of the chapter. We owe Freddie for the one point of irrefutable evidence that Donald is a Jew.
But there is a ton of supportive material. It is curious that a small time real estate guy near Coney Island pretending to be a Lutheran donated the land for the building of a synagogue and donated for the support of religious education in Israel. He went out of his way to cultivate one Benzion Netanyahu (who had Hebrewfied his Polish name Mileikowski), the right hand man of Zionist founder Jabotinsky. Through Benzion he also cultivated Benzion’s son Binyamin (known to us as Bibi) and it was Frederick who introduced these two arch-Zionists to his son Donald.
So when Trump and Netanyahu put on identical outfits and pose holding hands and looking into one another’s eyes, it goes back a long way. They are twins in a friendly competition to see which one is the Jewish Messiah and Anti-Christ.

World Bank Details Iran War Global Commodity Shock
 
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/05/02/mhbg-m02.html
 
“Late last month, the World Bank issued a report on the impact of the war on Iran detailing its inflationary effects and the hint to global growth, which is fast travelling beyond oil and gas to impact food, industrial metals and chemicals, plastics, fertilizers and many other basic commodities.
 
Overall, the bank estimates that its energy price index will increase by 24 percent this year – a shock of almost 40 percent relative to what was expected in January.
 
But this ‘baseline projection’ for oil and gas as well as for other commodities, rests on the assumption that ‘the most acute phase of supply disruptions’ will start ending in May. That seems increasingly unlikely, with the price of oil rising again at the end of April, hitting over $120 a barrel at one point…”

Removal of the leaky blockade, Hegseth deserves to be the fall guy for an unlimited number of reasons, will require some tortuous prose.
It is incredibly unfortunate that Israel was not pushed back to the sea. There likely will be another time and opportunity, possibly during my lifetime. Time to figure out the damage to anything jewish, I did not men Zionist.

“The Jewish people as a whole will be its own messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order, the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the State. Thus, will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.”

Acco Hengst at 19: the kushners bought a skyscraper om 5th avenue which almost made the property group bankrupt. This was during father in law’s first term and young kushner, being a senior adviser to father in lae, saw an opening to get the cash needed to save the company. Thus, young jared set off to qatar and had a word with the head chief there and promised that  he could get saudi and mbs off qatar’s back if qatar paid whatvwas needed to avoid the property group from going bankrupt. A short while later a qatari subsidiary in canada transferred 1 biljon $$ to the kushners and that’s the last we heard about the difficulties the young kushner had put the group in!

“If there had been an Iranian-American agreement or coordination to pass ships through the Strait of Hormuz, Trump’s language in his last statement would have been completely different. He would be talking about an agreement being reached, and there would also be no reason to mention dealing forcefully at the end of his statement.

We are not facing an agreement or an end to the blockade, but rather we are facing a new type of American operations whose precise shape we do not know!
In principle, if America approaches its ships to the waters of the Persian Gulf or the Strait of Hormuz, it will be dealt with forcefully.

This does not mean the collapse of the negotiations or the return of the war completely. It is possible that this is the last American attempt to obtain more gains at the negotiating table by changing the situation on the ground. It is a very dangerous attempt that may turn the tables on them by burning American warships at sea.”

For me, the election of Mandahmi as NYC mayor is a defeat for the WASP and Jewish controlling interests over NYC. More decline to come.

I currently don’t have much time for the MOA comment section but I caught yours — thank you!
 
IMO elections in the West aren’t ever about change but they can indicate trends. If enough elites are opposed then the popular sentiment will be neglected or crushed. This is normal: Jeremy Corbyn, (only!) an old-style social democratic who threatened to win a UK election: smear-campaigned. So many protest movements violently crushed: e.g. Canadian truckers, French yellow vests, Dutch farmers, Palestine rallies especially in UK and Germany.
 
re: Zionist influence: it’s massive but there is no reason why it should be a constant. I believe that an openly pro-zionist stance is soon too expensive in propaganda cost and it’ll be replaced by another tune for the masses. There are (very different) historic reasons why Jewish exceptionalism (= Zionism) grew particularly strong roots in the USA, UK and Germany. As the genocide in Palestine is televised in real time (same for Lebanon now) *and* many Muslim citizens (many immigrants after US/NATO wars) do care, I expect a change in the tune, as you do. The heavy-handed solution is to suppress what the mainstream calls “antisemitism” and certain factions in USA, UK, Germany do just that: totalitarian measures.
 
Because there are many other sources of discontent (cost of living, lack of housing, migration, crime), the Zionist narrative will be faded out. I believe EUrope enters a dark, extremely authoritarian phase, and voting cannot bring about an elite change to prevent that. That does not mean our future leaders can do what they want! Mass sentiment has to be carefully curated. I expect many more stories about evil Russians, and an increase of stories about dubious Chinese. This process is underway. Getting EUropeans’ brains into war mode is the most important issue right now, and requires the full Wurlitzer. This is what I mean by “propaganda cost too high” above.
 
As someone living in this messy place, my hope lies in China’s industrial lead and the long term, resourceful politics of China, Russia, Iran. There won’t be a Red Army to save us this time though. We’ll have to do it ourselves. The fact that alternative realities exist in the East will be as relevant as it was in the last Cold War but flipped. (I believe that West German TV ads were more relevant to the so-called 1989 “revolution” than anything about democracy or fighting suppression. The future good life will be in the East and we’ll watch it.)

Starting tomorrow, May 4, Trump is going to send the US Navy to escort neutral ships through the Strait of Hormuz.   CENTCOM will be supporting this operation, designated “Operation Freedom”.  My guess is that Israel which has been preparing for weeks now, will launch an attack at the same time or somewhat earlier tonight.

CENTCOM said 100 aircraft.
 
There will be a set of aircraft for surveillance and targeting, support suppression of air defenses as well as seek anti ship launchers and fishing boats.
 
There will be a large set of aerial refuelers.
 
There will be several sets of strike aircraft:  F-15, F-16, A-10, maybe F-18 if USAF has any drogue equipped tankers willing to fly east of Hormuz.  Some will strike air defense sites if found, some will strike shore based missile sites if found, some will blow up fishing boats. 
 
All US aircraft cost over $40000 (lowest aircraft cost) an hour to fly and all guided missiles are expensive, short supply and no capacity to replace in years.
 
The chance of a ship getting thru under this “cover” is quite small.

So, this is essentially a bombing campaign along the Strait of Hormuz to knock out Iran’s defenses without risking any US warships?

I am reading it is an ‘arms length’ carrier-scale effort to ‘guide’ ships ‘stuck in Hormuz’ but that …

“The [most recent] announcement suggests contradiction of a clarification provided to the Wall Street Journal by a senior US official, who had said the initiative would not involve US Navy warships escorting vessels through the strait. The inclusion of guided-missile destroyers and a combined force of that size suggests the operational reality of Project Freedom is considerably more aggressive than its initial framing implied.” Investingdotcom

We’ll have to wait to see what happens.  Otherwise, it is only guessing what the US has planned.  Of course, the announcement caused oil prices to go down slightly which may be part of the reason for the announcement.
 
Axios said that the U.S. Navy will provide commercial ships with information on safe maritime lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, particularly routes not mined by Iran, as part of a new initiative announced by President Trump.  US Navy ships will be in the vicinity to prevent Iranian attacks and share intelligence on safe passage routes.

Of course it will while the USrael-Western dominance of leaders and their security forces continues. Something needs to be busted before it stops, but what can ordinary people do until this happens?

Individuals from the media are also persecuted for standing up.

Are  we sure it’s not a plan to block the Strait with sunken tankers, to justify carpet bombing Iran?
Giyane // 64
Carpet bombing = large, slow bombers flying level as they drop large numbers of dumb, inaccurate, gravity bombs.  I think the Iranians would welcome that.  Is that really what you meant?
 
This is a historical account of B-52 operations over Hanoi in 1972.  Best to begin on the bottom of page 16 and read from there.  The crews flew “carpet bombing” missions over the North Vietnam capital.  It didn’t go well.  The North Vietnamese used radar guided anti-aircraft missiles, but after realizing the B-52s’ jamming systems were affecting the missiles’ performance, the North Vietnamese began firing the missiles fused to detonate at the aircrafts’ altitude.   The steady loss of aircraft eventually led to aircrew declaring themselves too ill to fly (p. 27) and the infamous CINC SAC at Guam incident (p. 28).
 
On a side note, I was privileged to study under the author, Mark Clodfelter, as an undergraduate history major.

Well, first the good news is I was able to get in touch with members of the Medical Assistance in Dying Program in both Canada and the Netherlands about navigating through the strait.
 
 
Several of them, where petty enthusiastic about the idea, which for clinically depressed people I define as getting out of bed.
 
 
The dutch are actually pretty good with a rudder. Or so I’m told by those in the know …
 
 
The bad news is they are a bit *too* suicidal. When we started out using the MS Zaandam simulator from Rotterdam, they kept trying to intentionally crash it into what they kept calling the Jeff Bezos bridge.
 
 
We tried loading a container ship simulator in the strait, but in network mode they would try and intentionally hit the navy ships, and in any event they would try and intentionally hit all the mines in the area.

Posted by: petergrfstrm | May 4 2026 6:19 utc | 88
===================================
 
Yes, I guess they were.
This from a definitely non-progressive, non-humanist organization, something called the “Strategic Foresight Group”:
 
Niall Fergusson, Collosus
 

In order to reduce America’s fiscal deficit, the author [Ferguson] implicitly proposes reduction in medical care and social security expenditure, while increasing outlays for military interventions and consolidation of American power in occupied countries. In order to reduce the manpower deficit, he explicitly proposes the recruitment of 2 million prisoners from the US jails, minorities and foreigners in the American armed forces. He remembers that the Roman Empire recruited foreigners in exchange of citizenship and the United States can do the same for hiring people poor countries as cannon fodders for its army. He forgets that the Roman Empire collapsed primarily because of it habit to recruit mercenaries.
 
He believes that an army full of prisoners and foreigners in despair will make American a great power. He forgets that America has actually lost its appeal to many other parts of the world, including Europe and Canada, because of the erosion of it moral leadership. The United States led a highly principled community of values on the two sides of Atlantic. That is what made it a great power, besides its technological, economic and military strengths. The central problem with the United States today is that its values of dictating and warmongering are not acceptable to growing segments of population abroad and potentially even some segments of population at home.

Guido Reichstadter is the name of the man who’s perched atop the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington, DC, protesting the war. I learned about him through a recent Lego video dedicated to his action. This article has much more.

================================
 
Yes, he is.
I learnt about this today too, through an email from Racket News, which is Matt Taibbi’s current vehicle.
 
Linked to a YooToob video showing him climbing up there. Pretty brave dude.
 
But those assholes on that blog; all the comments are negative, calling him a pussy or worse.
 
Fuck Matt Taibbi. Used to be a great journalist, now he’s just a whore for MAGAs. More’s the pity …

China has called US’ bluff, as Bertrand’s article reveals:
 
Essentially, businesses with a China footprint, or countries with a majority of trade with China have a simple choice:
 

• Observe US sanctions and thus break China’s law and face reprisals
• Follow China’s law, ignore US sanctions, and face US reprisals

 
As the old advice goes:  ‘Choose Carefully’….

Australia has continued to go 100% with America.
Now they are forcing Langbridge (Chinese company) to see the port of Darwin they developed.
If America loses this was against Iran the Australian economy will be in deep shit due to Chinese reprisals. It is so obvious (except to the most of Australians).
Australia will have a housing bubble meltdown and an export collapse. Welcome thank Australia’s third world economy as American vassal
