Regarding ‘circumstantial’ evidence:
  
 The Legal Guide
https://thelegalguide.org/circumstantial-evidence-versus-direct-evidence-understanding/

Circumstantial evidence can be highly persuasive when multiple independent inferences converge to a single conclusion. Courts recognize its value; many verdicts rely primarily on circumstantial evidence. The strength lies in how well the circumstantial pieces fit together and how convincingly they exclude reasonable alternatives.

“What is Terrorism?”
 
  
 
https://www.cfr.org/education/learn/resource-collections/terrorism-introduction
 
  

Regardless of its many interpretations, terrorism can be defined. It is the intentional use of violence by nonstate actors against civilians in pursuit of political or ideological objectives.

If the CFR believed that ZOG and Israel were NOT terrorists then there would be no need for an exclusion written into the definition.

@97 Norwegian previous thread

“As Pepe points out, the return of the Taliban and the removal of the US from Afghanistan in 2021 was a kind of inverse 911…”

The whole ‘terror psychosis’ goes back earlier though, particularly the example of civilians on aircraft held hostage for political demand.

The concept of ‘terror attacks’ is harder to justify, as it is resistance actions on non military targets. That is ‘non-state’ not following state protocol, which it is not bound to anyway. In other words less-discriminate retaliation by people with a banner of some kind, revindicating their differences.

This sets up a counter balance between ‘state is good and humane’ while ‘non-state is erratic and violent’ . In other words state is virtuously taming the jungle.

From there you can ascribe superiority of state, with any ‘disorganised contest’ essentially chaotic and degrading of order.

So the inverse I see, made ever more obvious, is the abandonment of any moral and treaty by states, and resort to non-state methods of effecting change.

Though since whenever most states have had their own underhand activity at shaping others, it is only now that it has become blatant in real time, celebrated even for that. Maybe they ran out of ideas and decided to use whatever tools were left for nefarious purposes, meaning subverting the remaining international order. The non-state actors (whoever they are) behind this are not bound by treaty, so corruption and blackmail , assassination and open manipulation, are hallmark.

Nation states just make for a shell usable with whatever legitimicacy is left of them.

No-one seems to care either, most are busy protesting one of any endless amount of wrongs occurring, while still expecting their own corrupt authorities to be reformed, if they even recognise the need for that.

It is all absurd at a certain level, and society also has the ‘ultimate terror threat’ constantly being placed , that of ‘nuclear procurement by madmen’, or even simply the indiscriminate use of such armament by the ‘civilised states’ , including their own.

That is all enough to make anyone’s attempt at reasoning worthless, makes the world both a violent and dismal place for a lot of people.

Especially as the tendency is for society to be fed false solutions, when answers to these problems are actually quite straightforward if approached sincerely, even if not in the hands of the public.

It’s not just oil prices
 
The issue is not limited to the export of crude oil: it’s also impacting the tanker freight rates, which have more than quadrupled since Trump’s ill-advised Middle Eastern adventure started, Freights for supertankers sailing on the benchmark route from the Middle East to China surged to an all time high of nearly $800,000 a day. At the same time, very large crude carriers (VLCCs) from the Gulf of Mexico bound for Asia are reportedly being offered for the record lump-sum freight of $29.5 million. That sum translates to nearly $15 per barrel!

@ Otto Penn | Sep 13 2026 14:29 utc | 19
Excellent point: TPTB exclude themselves and their state apparatuses from the definition of “terrorism.” While this word was first used to describes the excesses of the revolutionaries of the National Convention 1792-1795 during the French Revolution (les “terroristes”), its recent origin has been its promotion by the Zionists to describe their enemies. On the one hand, this completely invalidates its use as a word. On the other hand, that word should be constantly thrown back into the faces of those who try to use it to support imperialism and Zionism, and it needs always to be emphasized that the real big-time terrorists are always the state actors, not the non-state actors. Likewise, “antisemitism” should be continually thrown back into the faces of those who support or endorse Zionism in any way, particularly its main perpetrators. Zionism is fundamentally anti-Jewish, and it is also suffused with Jew-hatred, an even more poisonous term the Zionists like to throw around. The truth is, Zionism is a complete surrender of Jews to the idea of the nation state, a move which constitutes idolatry (‘avodah zarah) and is thus totally antithetical to Judaism’s idea of worshiping God instead of an idol, which is what the Zionist entity is. See Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro on this.
Furthermore, Zionism lives on antisemitism; it needs it for its very existence. So the Zionists love hatred for Jews and seek and demand more of it, and the worse the depredations of Israel are, the more they feel they gain. This is the calculated insanity of Ben Gvir and his ilk. The Zionists hate the Diaspora and target its Jews to hector them into obedience to it as their first priority, before they go about constraining the non-Jews to also submit to Zionist discourse or else.

Before they had that control they were telling the world that the Jews were behind the revolutions. But omitted that those Jews were working for the imperialists. After Israel came to existence it has sufficed to reward them for rogue behaviour since they become universally hated and need all the more protection from the empire.

Yemen taught US Navy ‘hard lesson,’ vows ‘siege for siege’ will continue: Ansarullah  
 
The Yemeni resistance movement Ansarullah says Yemen’s armed forces dealt the United States a serious setback, forcing Washington to reconsider its naval strategy in the region, along with some of its weapons, military equipment, and capabilities. 
 
Ali al-Dailami, a member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, made the remarks in an interview with Lebanon’s al-Ahed news network on Sunday, saying that the United States had “experience” with Yemen, referring to Washington’s military offensive against the country alongside a Saudi-led coalition. 
 
“It formed a coalition against Yemen and launched military aggression against it, but achieved nothing,” he said, adding that the Trump administration knew Ansarullah would not compromise or submit to Washington’s will. 
 
“On the contrary, we struck and damaged US warships, and this was a hard lesson for the United States,” al-Dailami added…… 
 
……“However,” he said, “when international law was suspended, and the United Nations suspended the performance of its responsibilities in the service of the Americans and the Saudi enemy, we were forced to apply and will continue to apply the equation of ‘siege for siege’ and ‘military escalation for military escalation’ against Saudi Arabia……

That leaves Saudi Arabia set to run out of crude oil stocks for export within five to seven days, taking around 4 million barrels per day, ~4% of global supply, off the market, per three industry sources to Reuters. 
 
Some repaired points were struck again, using up the spares and undoing the work. Yanbu has about a week of stocks left on the kingdom’s only export route that does not pass through Hormuz.

“The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians.”Now the Israeli Min of Defense confirmed that’s the goal.

 
Joe Biden and Donald Trump have long supported the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, making several very explicit statements to that effect.
 
During the Israeli offensive on Gaza following October 7, Joe Biden claimed he wanted to “save the Gazans” by arranging their expulsion to Egypt, a move the country refused despite facing pressure.
Upon returning to power, Trump stated that they would be “better off elsewhere.”
 
The plan to deport all Palestinians “elsewhere” is nothing new. Figures like Menachem Begin, Moshe Dayan, and Ariel Sharon were already discussing it back in the 1950s.
Indeed, this is precisely what was done regarding Gaza, Lebanon, and Jordan.
 
Yet, they never succeeded in forcing everyone to leave. This is likely the reason for all this gratuitous cruelty: to convince Palestinians to agree to leave rather than endure such suffering.
 
So far, this strategy has failed, and conditions do not appear any more favorable today.

Sanctions waiver denied.
 

Iranian Official Blocked From UN Nuclear Meeting at US’s Urging
 
September 14, 2026 at 12:14 AM GMT+2
 
A top Iranian official has been blocked from addressing the International Atomic Energy Agency’s general conference in Vienna after pressure from the Trump administration.
 
Iran’s vice president for nuclear affairs, Mohammad Eslami, had been slated to address the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog on Monday, according to a US official, before Austria denied him entry. The Mehr News Agency reported Saturday that Eslami, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, had left Tehran to attend the conference.
 
A spokeswoman for the Austrian government deferred to the Foreign Ministry, which didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment outside business hours in Vienna.
 
The denial of a UN-requested sanctions waiver for Eslami that would have allowed him to enter Austria followed urging from the US, said the official, who asked not to be named in order to speak candidly about a sensitive matter. While a lower-level Iranian representative may address the gathering later this week, the move means a top emissary from Tehran won’t be able to speak at the conference’s start.
 
His attendance and early speaking slot could have been seen as lending credibility to Iran, seven months into a US and Israeli war on the Islamic Republic that President Donald Trump says is essential to keep it from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
 
Instead, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright is set to use the forum to deliver a warning to Tehran, insisting that the US is unequivocal in its position that “Iran must never develop or obtain a nuclear weapon.”
