— The German State Continues to Torture Dr. Reiner Fuellmich

 

at 11/7/26 1:17pm

Information I have received from Germany is that falsely imprisoned Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is again being tortured by the demonic German government. Fuellmich was on the verge of holding accountable some of those responsible for the Covid hoax when he was kidnapped abroad by a corrupt German state and imprisoned on false charges. In prison he is subjected to torture  comparable to what was inflicted by the corrupt British on Julian Assange. Seba Terribilina reports that Dr. Fuellmich, falsely convicted on a very minor invented financial charge that had no victims even had it been a legitimate charge is kept isolated 22 hours a day in a small,  cold, and mould infested cell in the damp cellar of a prison for dangerous criminals.  It is Julian Assange all over again.  The German government is determined to destroy his heath so that he dies before he can be released. Anyone who dares to speak the truth will be destroyed by the Germans, the British, the Americans, the French. Here is a four year old interview of Fuellmich by Professor Michel Chossudovsky: https://www.globalresearch.ca/video-the-covid-lockdown-is-an-act-of-economic-warfare-against-humanity-dr-reiner-fuellmich-interviews-prof-michel-chossudovsky/5783254 Those who endeavor to serve truth and humanity are no longer tolerated.  The New Democrats are correct when they say the system is corrupt.  Rather than reform it, they intend to overthrow it.  It is difficult not to say “more power to them.” The German State Continues to Torture Dr. Reiner Fuellmich The post The German State Continues to Torture Dr. Reiner Fuellmich appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— JD Vance Recycles 2024 Campaign Lies for Continuity of Agenda Following 2026 Elections

 

at 11/6/26 10:38pm

US Vice President JD Vance repeats what were literally 2024 campaign promises he and Trump made before the elections, as reasons the Republican Party lost to the Democratic Party following midterm elections this year; This is an attempt to buy space and time for continuity of agenda BOTH US parties are willfully/eagerly advancing under the cover of years of broken campaign promises regarding ending wars, addressing cost of living, and revising toxic relations with US proxies abroad; The Trump administrations betrayal of its campaign promises pre-2024 was easily predictable with even the promises themselves half-measures and revealing true intent; If JD Vance didnt realize the administration he would be a part of was simply lying, he is too incompetent and ignorant to be in office in the first place. Much more likely, he was and is deliberately lying just like the rest of the Trump administration, and ALL administrations this 21st century; The ONLY way the US will back down from wars worldwide against Iran, Russia, and China is if the multipolar world forces it to; References: The New Atlas Top Ukrainian Commander Admits Defeat is Near & Why Nothing Will Change After US Elections (July 2024):   Brookings Institution Which Path to Persia (2009): https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/ RAND Corporation Extending Russia (2019): https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand The post JD Vance Recycles 2024 Campaign Lies for Continuity of Agenda Following 2026 Elections appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— A weakened and discredited Western Civilization faces revolution

 

at 11/6/26 3:08pm

The next two months are a dangerous period.  It is Trump’s and Netanyahu’s last two months with a Republican Congress in the Israel Lobby’s pocket.  The New Democrats such as Abdul El-Sayed and Melat Kiros are less likely to put Israel’s Zionist agenda ahead of their own agenda.  Netanyahu knows that Israel on its own cannot deal with Iran.  The US has to do the job for them. Whatever pressure and persuasion the Israel Lobby has left will be exerted on Trump before the Democrat Congress takes over in January.   This morning’s news reports are that Trump and Netanyahu are preparing to attack Iran in the next day or two.  Apparently Iran does not intend to preempt the attack by striking first. Trump foolishly just before the midterm election announced that he was going to renew attacks on Iran after the election. Trump even said that he was thinking about using nuclear weapons.  Nuclear thoughts are no doubt the result of Trump and Netanyahu losing the conventional war with Iran and having to ask Iran for a cease fire.  Trump’s announcement no doubt caused even more Republicans to vote for Democrats to show their disgust and disappointment with a leader in whom they placed great hopes, but who  turned his back on them and served Israeli aggression instead of American  renewal. The person responsible for the Republican loss is Donald Trump.  The election statistics that have been collected clearly indicate that Republicans were voted out of office by Republicans themselves.  As Greg Palest recognizes, the Democrats “didn’t get a mandate. Rather, the public un-mandated Trump.” https://www.gregpalast.com/in-victory-a-smell-of-doom-for-democrats-in-2028/ But the election has put power in Democrat hands, and it will be used, mandate or not. If Trump actually believes what he said–that the election was not about him and that if he had been on the ballot the Republicans would have won hands down–he is too unrealistic to have a chance to survive the second half of his term. On November 4 Democrats were already calling for preparing subpoenas to be issued, for investigations to begin, for retribution.  Republican Senator Ron Johnson said on TV that the Democrats “are at war with us. They want to exterminate us.”  Senator Johnson is correct, and he seems to be the only Republican who understands this.  In my article yesterday I pointed out the direction that I think matters are heading.  The Midterm Election has changed more than the political composition of Congress If Trump renews his attack on Iran–especially if he uses nuclear weapons–he will deliver himself on a silver platter to the Democrats for destruction.  The destruction will include his family and the Republican Party.  The Democrats will not need the subpoenas, the investigations, the false charges. They will have in their hands bound and tied a war criminal  who followed up his electoral repudiation by renewing a war for Israel.  If Trump uses nuclear weapons, the Zionist neoconservatives will love him, but he will be reviled by everyone else. Is Trump so throughly under Netanyahu’s control as to commit suicide?  Yes.  ( Some consider it anti-semitic to speak of Israel’s influence over America, but Israelis themselves speak openly about their power.  For example, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told Shimon Peres:  “Let me tell you something very clear: don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and America knows it,” IAP News, October 3, 2001.  More recently Netanyahu said publicly that it was easy for Israel to manipulate the United States. Possibly Trump might see his dilemma.  He has just been repudiated and his presidency essentially ended by his service to Israel instead of to America. He could try to make a deal with the Democrats by agreeing not to obstruct or interfere with their rule beginning in January if they give him a pass and drop the impeachment and further investigations and indictments.   The traditional Democrats might go along with this.  But would the new ones, the ones like Abdul and Melat, the ones on the cutting edge bringing a revolutionary agenda to the Democrat party? Possibly, but I think not.  They see in the destruction of Trump the destruction of the Republican Party, which is what the New Democrats want as Senator Johnson understands. Abdul and Melat did not enter politics in order to join the Establishment and collect the griff.  They entered politics in order to overthrow what they see as a corrupt racist society. And it is corrupt, but perhaps for reasons different from their concerns.  Decades ago, it was the 1970s  when I was a young Congressional aide to US Rep. Jack Kemp, to US Senator Orrin Hatch, as staff associate, House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, Chief Economist, Republican staff, House Budget Committee, staff associate Joint Economic Committee, that Irving Bristol, editor of The Public Interest, called the Republican Party “the stupid party.”   Irving Kristal is sometimes said to be the father of neoconservatism. But if so, he, unlike the neoconservatives today, had an open mind.  He published my critique of the Keynesian macroeconomic policy that had produced stagflation and “the American malaise.”  He published my explanation some years later of how the supply-side policy had cured stagnation and the worsening Phillips curve trade-offs between inflation and unemployment. My 25 years with Republicans convinced me that Irving Kristol’s characterization of Republicans was correct, and Trump’s stupidity has underlined Irving Kristol’s conclusion.. By serving  Israel in exchange for Israel Lobby election campaign contributions, Trump and the   Republican Congress sold out the voters who had placed hope in them and put  themselves at the service of a foreign power.  Conservatives and Zionist neoconservatives try to hide this fact by identifying US and Israeli interests as the same. My explanation of the midterm election differs  from what you are hearing from the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, BBC, Politico, and the conservative websites and podcasts.  None of these “news sources” are reporting  what has really happened.  Each and every one is desperately trying to control the narrative that favors its agenda.  In the entirety of the Western World objective news reporting does not exist.  What exists are struggles to control the narrative in the interest of some cause or money source.  When people watch news they are simply indoctrinated. What we have is a world in which it is almost impossible to get truthful information.  Truthful information is what I try to provide, and there is not much appreciation of  my efforts. My agenda is the truth to the extent that I can find it. I am not always right. I don’t know how long it will take the New Democrats to take control of the Democrat Party and election outcomes.  They might suffer setbacks, and it might be a long time. But it is in the cards.  What is the cause that opposes the New Democrats?  Who defends the Constitution? The First Amendment has been redefined as a white privilege to commit hate speech. Truth will become identified with edicts that serve the ruling agendas.  Already we see in France leftwing demand that it be made a criminal offense to make any remark about the growing non-French component of French society.  The French left want the French people silenced about the immigrant-invader takeover of their country. There are today large numbers of French intellectuals and indoctrinated French people who do not believe that France should be restricted to a nation of French people. A significant percentage of French themselves actually agree with Abdul El-Sayed that ethno-ethnic countries should not exist. They are actually willing for France to be terminated as a nation of French people. Marine Le Pen, who speaks for ethnic France, is continually persecuted by the French establishment. It is the same throughout Europe and in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Britain. Western Civilization and white ethnic nations have become unwanted and undefended. When symphony orchestra conductors are fired for preferring Mozart and Beethoven to rap music, what chance does Western Civilization have? The Erasure of Western Civilization Accelerates The destruction of ethnic nations will replace ethnic diversity with identical towers of babel. All countries and all people the same.  Ward Kendall wrote a science fiction novel about it–Hold Back This Day–only it is no longer science fiction.  It is our reality.  The post A weakened and discredited Western Civilization faces revolution appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— Iran, Russia, China must set up a balanced structure in BRICS

 

at 11/6/26 11:56am

Highlighting the geopolitical importance of the Strait of Hormuz, a Russian expert emphasized that Iran, Russia, and China must establish a balanced structure within BRICS. To learn more about the details, Mehr news agencys correspondent has conducted an interview with Dr. Leonid Savin Editor-in-Chief and Managing Director of Katehon, an influential Russian Think Tank. Let’s review the interview in questions and answers. Q: Given Russia’s conduct since the outbreak of the US-Israeli war against Iran, how would you assess Moscow’s approach and actions in the political, diplomatic, military, and intelligence spheres? To what extent have these actions been consistent with Tehran’s expectations of a strategic partner? A: First of all, Russia and Iran signed new special agreement some time ago that bring our partnership into new level of cooperation. On diplomatic international level Russia supports Iran for different spheres of activity – from rejection of foreign interference and imposed sanctions to justification of nuclear program of Iran (and Russia is involved into construction process of Busher plant). Military and intelligence coordination is not open for public. We know about some supplies of Russian technics and equipment like aircrafts and helicopters. And before Iran provided to Russia drone technologies (“Sheheed” model that in Russia got name “Geran” and then developed for reactive strike drone). Western media also blame Russia for providing to Iran data intelligence, cause of space surveillance available for Russian military. But real scale of military/intelligence cooperation is unknown cause of sensitive information and secret issues. Counter-terrorism interaction also was always on high level and this activity Personally, I think that both countries can and need to do more to enlarge bilateral partnership. To organize defense pact, at least for Caspian region Q: Some argue that Russia has acted cautiously in response to the war against Iran. Is this caution primarily driven by Russia’s involvement in the war in Ukraine and its concerns about a direct confrontation with the United States, or does Moscow fundamentally seek to avoid becoming involved in a war that could put its own interests at risk? A: We understand very well, that the collective West interested to destroy Russia by any means. The same strategy used against Iran. China also seems for the West like potential adversary and before there were many attempts to bring domestic problems for the China through different tools of manipulations. Also, Ukrainian conflict by fact is proxy war against Russia led by the West. The most significant role in support of Kiev’s regime and against Russia played by leaders of the UK, USA, France and Germany. BBC team organized fake report about Bucha in 2022 when Russian troops was withdrawal. In general, political elites of the West always tried to deceive Russian leadership and there no any trust anymore. Also, we understand risk of escalation till nuclear war. And would like to avoid it. But if the West and his proxies will do more provocations against Russia (and they do it in regular way) Moscow will need to do response. From this point of view Russian interests mostly focused on keeping unity and secure periphery as well as technological development and achievement of the full independence (autarky). Of course, another important strategic line is army reorganization to be more effective and use of advanced weapon systems. Defense ministry and corporations linked with military industrial production now care about it. Ukrainian conflict was and still experience for Russian military and security services. Q: With Trump’s return to office, there was widespread speculation in the media that Russia and Ukraine were moving closer to a ceasefire agreement, but such an agreement ultimately failed to materialize. In your view, what were the main obstacles to a ceasefire between the two sides? Was the dispute over territory and security guarantees the primary issue, or does the disagreement run deeper, involving fundamentally different views about the future of European security and Russia’s relationship with the West? A: It never was closer. Russia ready to sign peace agreement but only on conditions proposed before – denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine, respect of Russian geopolitical interests and organization of clear security frame. Ukraine cannot be member of NATO. Russian people in Ukraine must be respected and their right respected. As well as about Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine. Crimea and regions of ex-Ukraine where people voted to be with Russia as its part will stay in Russia and will never return to Ukraine. Actually, from European point of view, it is not violation cause after 1999 when part of Serbia (Kosovo) proclaimed self-independence, it was supported by NATO and the West. So, what we see in Ukraine now is just continuation of the policy once used by the West. Concerning Russian view on future we are more interested to develop active relationship with Global South. There was term like “Turn to the East”, but really to the South too. And Iran is also part of it. Q: In light of the war in Ukraine, the US-Israeli war against Iran, and increasing US pressure on China, does Moscow view these developments as separate crises, or does it see them as part of a broader strategic competition between the United States and non-Western powers, as well as an effort to reshape the existing international order? A: Of course, it is strategic competition effected by emergence of the multipolar world order. West led by the US just would like to keep own hegemony (military, political, economic and also moral). We are wanting more justice international system. This is the reason. If you see on historical perspectives there were the same disturbance during transition from one type of order to another. But now multipolar moment is unique cause the West losing his dominance like never before. Q: How would you assess Iran’s response and resistance to the US and Israeli attacks? In your view, to what extent has Iran been able to maintain the initiative, withstand military pressure, and influence the calculations of its adversaries during this confrontation? A: It is very appreciated and Russian public applause to Iran, especially to decision makers for this response. It was very strong and at the same time very smart. To block Hormuz strait was geopolitical nightmare for the US and its allies in region. Both the US and Israel understood own misfortune over Iran. Despite own victims resulted by illegal and criminal strikes of the US and Israel Iran and its people stands firm. Q: Could the war against Iran become a turning point in the security order of the Middle East? If so, what role does Russia envision for itself in the emerging regional order, and how might Moscow’s relations with Iran, China, and the United States change in the aftermath of the war? A: For my opinion it is already changed security environment of the region. And neighbor countries already reacted on this change, I mean Mecca pact between Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Iran also projected new lines of control and interests near own borders. We can add allies of Iran in Yemen, but also in Iraq, Lebanon and other countries. Zionists would like to eliminate them all and it is the reason of genocide in Palestine and bombing Lebanon, but in practice it is not possible. Like decades before resistance will be revived because of the mentality and strategic culture. If speak about relations of great powers there is clear that Russia and China will continue to strengthen cooperation. But the US will have more problems in future. Geopolitical influence of the US in the Middle East will decline. Many partners inside NATO not trust to the Washington anymore. There also tensions because Israeli lobby and part of politicians inside the US not welcome this trend. Let’s see what happens after November elections in the Congress. There are many signs that against Trump growing antipathy in camp of Republicans and Democrats also not happy with his policy. Realistically there still will be tensions and conflict. To achieve multipolarity we need to create effective structure. Why it is important? Because unipolar world still has it – World bank and IMF in economy, NATO in military, G7 politically. So, Russia, China, Iran, other members of BRICS need to create counter balance, effective and complete. https://en.mehrnews.com/news/248083/Iran-Russia-China-must-set-up-a-balanced-structure-in-BRICS The post Iran, Russia, China must set up a balanced structure in BRICS appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— Israel Claims It Had Nothing To Do With Trump’s Decision To Attack Iran, And Other Notes

 

at 11/5/26 7:46pm

Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon is acting like it’s absurd for American voters to have gotten it into their heads that Israel had something to do with the Iran war that’s costing them so much money. Asked by i24 News about JD Vance’s observation that American voters want a change in their country’s relationship with the Zionist entity, Danon framed Israel as an innocent passive witness to the Trump administration’s unprovoked attack on Iran. “I think it’s unfortunate, and we saw it coming from different directions, that many made the linkage between the rising prices, mainly oil prices, to the situation here in Israel,” said Danon, adding, “We know that the decision to attack Iran was the decision of the United States. It wasn’t our decision. We supported the effort of the US. We think it was the right decision.” “It’s very easy always to blame Israel for everything, but that is not the case,” Dannon said. Israels Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon on JD Vance: I think it’s unfortunate that many made the link between rising prices, mainly oil prices, and the situation here in Israel. The decision to attack Iran was the decision of the United States. It wasn’t our… pic.twitter.com/qlMWUmvxsJ — Clash Report (@clashreport) November 4, 2026 So it sounds like the new narrative from the Israeli government is that they were just sitting there minding their own business when the United States told them “We’re gonna bomb Iran, don’t try to stop us,” and then Israel was all like “WTF bro that’s crazy! I guess we’ll support you because we’re friends, but damn dude that sounds pretty reckless.” Now that the war in Iran is costing Israel support from American voters, they’re trying to pretend they had nothing to do with that whole mess. Which is wild considering the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly bragged about persuading the Americans to attack Iran, and the fact that the US State Department has explicitly said of the Iran war that “the United States is engaged in this conflict at the request of and in the collective self-defense of its Israeli ally.” But whatever. ❖ Hey remember when Charlie Kirk got killed and Republicans were like YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE UNLEASHED, TREMBLE IN FEAR AT WHAT’S COMING and then nothing happened and then they lost everything? That was funny. ❖ People should stop saying the Democrats will do nothing now that they’ve won both chambers of congress; that’s so unfair. Democrats do a lot of things. Genocide, for example. ❖ If you’re wondering how things are going in Australia, it looks like they’re about to start fining universities millions of dollars for allowing criticism of Israel. And on and on it goes.@JasonClareMP keen to prosecute the Segal agenda. "Education Minister announced last Friday that under the draft legislation, the maximum fine for universities will increase from the existing cap of $40,000 to $2 million – a 50-fold increase." pic.twitter.com/QHCe9oLIFW — Jommy Tee (@jommy_tee) November 4, 2026 From The Jewish Independent: “Australian universities could be fined up to $2 million if they do not deal effectively with antisemitism under new legislation to be introduced into parliament this month. “The Education Minister announced last Friday that under the draft legislation, the maximum fine for universities will increase from the existing cap of $40,000 to $2 million — a 50-fold increase. “The fine regime, which will be administered by the university regulator TEQSA, is the government’s response to the recommendation by the Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal, which proposed withholding funding or terminating grants from universities that fail to effectively combat antisemitic behaviour.” As we discussed previously, Jillian Segal’s recommendations are completely geared around stomping out criticism of Israel and eliminating pro-Palestine protests, as evidenced by her stated position that pro-Palestine leftists represent “the most pervasive manifestation of antisemitism facing Australia today.” The plan is obviously to lean on universities to shut down anti-Israel speech in order to avoid millions of dollars in penalties. ❖ Tucker Carlson recently claimed that Trump is preparing to launch a nuclear strike on Iran at the urging of Benjamin Netanyahu, and I’m really, truly sorry if this comes across as antisemitic, but in my opinion it would be wrong for Trump to do that. ❖ The other day I saw an Israeli flag account on Twitter shrieking that her son got uninvited from a Halloween party because some of the kids said they didn’t want to attend a party with a Zionist. Somebody asked her how old her son is, and she said nineteen. https://t.co/6p5ZaLwANQ pic.twitter.com/iN1i7giTPu — Saint Charlie (@PollyVinyl1) November 2, 2026 This is the “antisemitism” we’ve been hearing so much about. It’s grown adults whining that anti-genocide sentiments hurt their feelings. It’s people disliking a genocidal apartheid state and its supporters, and then some members of a religious group claiming those opinions shouldn’t be allowed to exist because it upsets their feelings. When you drill down on the actual complaints, that is almost exclusively what’s going on. Ultimately the “antisemitism” narrative is mostly just an especially entitled group of white people demanding that governments and institutions use force to protect them from feeling the uncomfortable feelings they experience when someone says their beloved apartheid state is guilty of crimes against humanity. This is self-evidently ridiculous, and it deserves nothing but a dismissive scoff. You do not have a right to be protected from uncomfortable feelings, no matter what your religion happens to be. You do not have a right to have the government protect you from the feelings of cognitive dissonance brought on by your own genocidal ideology. You do not have a right to silence others because because you find their opposition to mass atrocities emotionally inconvenient. That’s not a thing. Grow the fuck up. ❖ Zionists are like, “No no, it’s not true that antisemitism means criticism of Israel. You’re allowed to criticize Israel, you just need to memorize a very long list of rules you must follow and circumstances under which criticism is acceptable, make sure you’re only criticizing the current sitting government rather than the Zionist state itself, and be careful not to invoke any of the ten thousand obscure Tropes you’ve never heard of, or else you will lose your job and possibly go to prison. So go on ahead, criticize Israel all you want. It’s a free country.” ❖ I saw a BBC report from last month expressing shock and outrage about China forcing companies to stop selling people “AI companions” as a substitute for real human contact, speculating that Beijing is only taking these actions to trick Chinese women into having more babies. Chatbots are turning western brains into pureed spinach while China bans AI “companions” and requires AI models to remind users they’re not talking to a real person, and the western press frame this as China pushing a suspicious agenda. Everything about our civilization is making all of us dumber and dumber.

— The Midterm Election has changed more than the political composition of Congress

 

at 11/5/26 3:52pm

Trump squandered his presidency, loss the chance for an American revival, and demoralized traditional Americans in order to serve the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.  Trump’s supporters have shown their disappointment, but they do not realize the unintended consequences of their ill-considered punishment.  It will come home to bite them..   American born Abdul El-Sayed is of Egyptian ethnicity. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with highest distinction from the University of Michigan and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University where he was captain of the lacrosse team. He earned a M.D. degree from Columbia University medical school. He has held a number of responsible positions, such as assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University’s School of Public Health, as executive director of the Detroit Health Department and as chief of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human & Veterans Services. Clearly, he is an able and competent person.  In the midterm election he was elected to the US Senate from Michigan with 52% of the vote. What makes El-Sayed problematic is that he does not believe in ethnic based nations.  France is not for the French. Germany is not for Germans. Britain is not for the British, and America is not for white European ethnicities assimilated into Americans.   El-Sayed believes that the people whose ethnicity gives a country its name are not entitled to their country.  But if a country is not a nation of similar people, what is it?  A tower of babel composed of competing mores, cultures, religions, languages?  If there is no nation, how can there be a national defense? What does a Tower of Babel defend against? Why isn’t an invader just another multicultural component to be welcomed?  The word mores is defined as “the deeply held, morally significant social norms and traditional customs of a particular group, society, or culture. They dictate what is considered right, wrong, ethical, or unacceptable behavior.”  What are the mores of a multicultural country?  Clearly, mores is a word that wokism will have to ban. Another problem with El-Sayed is that unlike our founding fathers, he sees a person’s property as a residual right that remains after “excess holdings” have been redistributed to the needy, the deserving, or as restitution or compensation to the wronged.  In other words, property’s constitutional protection is inconsistent with DEI under socialism.  This might indeed be the view of a majority of American university graduates in recent years as it is the indoctrination that “education” provides and as few of them have much prospect of owning very much. There is no doubt that capitalism has been corrupted over the decades.  The central bank used, and sometimes engineered, crises in order to monopolize the banking system in the hands of a few over-sized banks, to ruin family farming and turn the food supply over to agri-business, to develop concentration in production as the only way to be able to compete in a global economy, itself an imposition on Americans.   But does El-Sayed want to restore the Glass-Steagall Act, to revive the Sherman anti-trust act, reign in the central bank, and reconstruct a livable, workable capitalism that is not the property of a few multi-billionaires and does not offshore its production to other countries, or does he want a revolutionary overthrow of existing society?  It strikes me that in recent years reformers have lost ground to revolutionaries, with whom it is sometimes hard not to feel sympathy.  It is no doubt true that money and Israel rule America, not the people. The rapid transition of white ethnic nations into disunited multicultural towers of babel is accelerating.  The dissolution of the written American and unwritten British Constitutions and declining appreciation of Western art, music, history, language, behavior, and morality is far advanced.   The Erasure of Western Civilization Accelerates El-Sayed is not opposed for his disbelief in the American nation state, and his opposition to the Israeli ethnostate is not anti-semitism as it is no difference from his opposition to an ethno-French state, ethno-German state, ethono-British state, ethno- Russian state, and so forth.  El-Sayed is opposed because he stands for holding people accountable.  The problem I might have with him is how many of our Constitutional protections and how much of our property is subject to being held accountable by DEI and needs of others.   America has always been a merit-based society.  Americans, being an insouciant people, are slow to catch on to the fact that a mere handful of people are disposing of merit by imposing DEI in its place. This transformation is far advanced, and it is not one that the population has demanded.  It is instructive to analyze other members of the up-and-coming new wave of Democrats.  For example, Melat Asfawosen Kiros, Ethiopian born American by virtue of the US Diversity Visa Lottery. She defeated the 15 term Democrat incumbent to represent the Democrats from Colorado’s 1st congressional district in the midterm elections and won with 78% of the vote.  Among her virtues, she was fired by her prestigious law firm of Sidney Austin for criticizing the law firm for opposing pro-Palestine protests. Evidently, she regarded this throttling of lawyers’ free speech a threat to the integrity of justice, which lawyers were supposed to serve.  When she refused to withdraw her comments, she was fired. We are confronted with a brave and courageous woman who is not afraid to stand up to Israel at the cost of her job.  She also wants a moratorium on data centers, and she is correct. The cost of data centers are being loaded on the shoulders of local residents, whose power bills have escalated by the sudden appearance in their communities of massive data centers.  Clearly, power services in the vicinities where data centers were to be built should first at the expense of the data centers have been beefed up to accommodate the new heavy demand without loading it onto the power bills of the local population.  Capitalism should pay for its own development and not make money for executives and shareholders by passing its costs off to third parties who do not share in the profits.  It is difficult to oppose candidates such as Melat Kiros and Abdul El-Sayed.  Where are the Republican counterparts?  It does not seem to me that Melat and Abdul have entered American politics in order to join the ruling establishment and collect the grift.  What they see is opportunity  to overthrow a system long damned by decades of white intellectuals’ assaults on Western Civilization.  The white liberals have convinced enough people and loaded them up with guilt that the system is vulnerable.  The New Democrats have in mind actively assaulting the vulnerable system. Like Abdul, part of Melat is not American.  She supports the violation of property rights by advocating federal price fixing of rents.  Supply and Demand leaves out those who cannot pay, so the property owners pay. Melat also wants America’s more rapid transformation to a Tower of Babel by abolishing ICE which implies reopening the borders.  A large percentage of Americans cannot meet their own needs, and Melat would have them burdened with rising numbers of immigrant-invaders.  This is a formula not of renewal but of destruction and declining living standards.  Violence is a likely outcome.  Is America headed for a time where if you are not armed and have a militia to protect your command over food and water you are done for? I am not saying that Abdul and Melat are going to do extreme things. They are intelligent and will go about their work in a way that the Democrats and even their victims will accept.  A county such as the US, whose white liberals have destroyed the structure of beliefs that upheld the country and instilled guilt in its place, has feeble means to resist such a transition.   My own view, as I have explicated for years, is that Western Civilization exists as a ruin and is collapsing at an increasing pace. Perhaps Putin and Xi recognize this and see no point of war with a collapsing structure that soon will be no more.  Why defeat in war something that is not going to be there tomorrow, or next month or next year?  My criticisms of the Russian and Chinese leadership might be mistaken if they understand what is happening. Permit me to put it as clearly as I can.  One day Rome was there. The next day it was gone. Rome’s demise was not due to the valor of its opponent but to the failure of Rome. Everywhere in the West we see nothing but failure.  The West is a remnant of a civilization without a leader.  Trump squandered his presidency serving the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.  The Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin shares my view, or, to put it differently, I share his view. To gain some comprehension of how vulnerable Western Civilization is, consider the racial and cultural composition of its major cities.  It shows that the West is disappearing in its own major centers of urban existence.  Keep in mind that white liberals and American foreign interventions have taught America’s new “people of color” residents hostility to white people who are demonized as racist oppressors. Americans bombed women and children in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Iran, financed Israel’s bombing of women and children in Gaza and Lebanon, overthrew governments, kidnapped a foreign president and murdered the Iranian leader.  Everything American has  been declared racist–art, music, literature, even mathematics. Americans who believe that kind acceptance of immigrant-invaders is their protection need to read The Camp of the Saints. Because racially sensitive European governments refuse to collect demographic statistics by race, numbers are estimated by tracking citizenship and country of origin.  The result understates the dilution of the ethnic population of the country whose ethnicity gives the country its name by counting immigrant-invaders who have become citizens as white.   In what follows are demographic changes in populations of major European and US cities since I was in high school as a teen-ager. The designation “white” excludes Hispanics, a category sometimes used to increase white numbers.  If the French left gets its way, mention of demographic change in France will be criminalized. The French would be imprisoned for merely acknowledging the facts. The prohibition on acknowledging reality would spread. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/prison-time-discussing-great-replacement-french-left-wing-lawmakers-push-draconian-new First some European cities: London, England, when I was born was the capital of an empire on which the sun never set, the ruler of the seas, international trade, and the world reserve currency.  In 1955, my middle high school years, London was 95% British. Today London is 36% British. Brussels, Belgium was 95% white in 1955 and is now 21% ethnic Belgiums. Berlin was 98% ethnic German and is now 57% ethnic German. Vienna Austria  was 95% Austrian in 1955 and is now 51%. Stockholm was 97% Swedish and is now 65%. Birmingham England in 1955 was 97% white British, In 2025 46% British. Now some American cities: In 1955 the percentage of white American citizens in New York City was 90% of the population. In 2025 white American citizens compose 31% of the population. Chicago in 1955 was 84% white, 2025 white population is 32% San Francisco in 1955 was 90% white, 2025  36% white Los Angeles in 1955 94% white, 2025 37% Atlanta 65% white in 1955, 2025 39% Minneapolis in 1955 98% white, 2025 59% white, and public loudspeakers announce the Muslim call to prayer 6 times a day. Boston in 1955 95% white, 2025 44% white Baltimore in 1955 68% white, 2025 26% white Austin Texas  in 1955 was 86% white, 2025 white 47 % Memphis in 1955 64% white, 2025 24% white St. Louis in 1955 was 80% white, 2025 44% white Detroit in 1955 was 84% white, 2025 11% white Albuquerque in 1955 75% white, 2025 37% white Phoenix Arizona in 1955 90% white, 2025 40% white Columbus Ohio in 1955 87% white, 2025 50% white Columbus Georgia in 1955 was 60% white, 2025 37% white Cleveland Ohio in 1955 was 84% white, 2025 37% white Birmingham Alabama in 1955 was 60% white, in 2025 25% Whoever controls the electoral vote counting in the large American cities also controls state and federal election outcomes. It may be the case that America is soon to be under one party rule and the US Constitution will be a dead letter document. That is almost certain to be the case as no one defends the US Constitution, now referenced as a “racist document” in the way of progress and demonized by the New York Times’ 1619 Project. Americans, being an insouciant people, are unaware that their rights under the US Constitution are now considered privileges of white racism and are no longer applicable.  The Constitution’s enemies, for example, consider free speech, or the First Amendment, to be protection for white people to engage in hate speech and hate crimes. How long will the United States exist as a nation?  It depends on how quickly the New Democrats rise to dominance. All things come to an end, including civilizational.  We are witnessing the passing of Western history from history.  In J. R. R. Tolkiens’ masterful The Lord of the Rings, the immortal and powerful elves realize that their power is weakening as the power of a satanic Mordor rises.  They are able to help defeat the assault of evil upon the civilization of men before they depart Middle Earth, but who today defends Western civilization? Not museum curators. Not the president of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,  not Donald Trump or the Republican Party who defend, enable and participate in Israeli war crimes, not the new Democrats whose intention is to overthrow the US Constitution and American institutions and ethnic nationhood.  In Western Europe and Britain no governments exist that represent the interests and well-being of the national ethnic populations from whom the countries takes their names.  I have been expecting the arrival of a woke movement to rename European countries with no reference to ethnicity. So why shouldn’t Abdul and Melat and their compatriots in Europe expressing their dissent in the streets overthrow a corrupt system, formerly one of great promise, but today one so corrupt that its opponents are beginning to take over the US Congress. Into what the Western World will be descending  I cannot say, but it will be the product of decades of denunciation of Western Civilization, one of humanity’s greatest achievements, by white Western liberals and the subservience of President Trump and the Republican Party to Israel.  The era of reform is over.  The era of revolution is upon us.

— Iranian Strength Is What Killed The Republicans

 

at 11/5/26 6:22am

Vice President JD Vance made the surprising admission on social media that Trump administration’s war with Iran was what caused the massive Democratic Party sweep of the midterm elections, stating plainly that “The reason we lost is the war.” Saying “the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone,” Vance noted that a poll found Trump 2024 voters who ditched the president’s party in 2026 gave four main answers to the question of what the Republicans could do to win them back: “1) End the war, 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation, 3) Put America First , 4) Change our relationship to Israel.” Holy shit! Read Vances entire tweet. Heres a teaser: "The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night." https://t.co/V3pAeczn9c — Trita Parsi (@tparsi) November 4, 2026 All four of these answers tie directly in to Trump’s decision to launch an unprovoked war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The war itself, failing to put America first, and Washington’s grotesque alliance with the state of Israel are all straightforward references to Trump’s warmongering in the middle east. Cost of living/inflation is also strongly related since the blockades resulting from Trump’s war have been costing every American household thousands of dollars in rising fuel and grocery prices. That last one is the real story of this election. As is often the case, economic concerns ranked as the number one concern among US voters in the lead-up to the midterm elections, and one of the major reasons why Americans have been struggling economically is because of the war in Iran. So the story isn’t that Americans spontaneously transformed into a country full of tender-hearted peaceniks in November 2026. The story is that Iran was able to impose an economic cost on ordinary Americans for the actions of their evil government. The average American is a propaganda-addled empire zombie who has been indoctrinated into cold-hearted indifference to their government’s abuses in the global south. American voters didn’t reject the war in Iran because they believe it’s immoral to bomb schools and civilian infrastructure in depraved wars of aggression overseas, they rejected it because it was costing them more to fill up their pickup trucks and they were having to pay more money for their buckets of Mountain Dew and ranch dressing. The Republicans didn’t lose because Trump attacked Iran, they lost because Iran had the ability to fight back. Republicans lost because Iran did whatever it needed to do to retain the military capability to impose an economic toll on Americans for the actions of their government. — Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) November 4, 2026 If Trump had won the war in four to six weeks as he initially claimed he would, his monstrous attack on Iran would have been no more consequential in the voting booths than his regime change interventionism in Venezuela. It is only because Iran succeeded in doing whatever it needed to do to retain the military strength needed to impose a financial toll on the American electorate that the Republicans lost the Senate for years to come. War with Iran is now officially political poison because of Iranian strength. US officials love to whine and complain that Iran spends its money on its military instead of on the Iranian people (though the United States is literally the absolute dead-last country on earth who has any business airing such a grievance), and to this day they’re still weeping crocodile tears about the way Tehran aggressively smacked down the CIA/Mossad uprising at the beginning of the year. But Iran has shown the world that a nation must retain its strength if it wants to retain its sovereignty and avoid being turned into another resource extraction scam for the US empire. Every country that retains the necessary muscle to beat back the US empire’s efforts to absorb it into its power umbrella invariably gets smeared by the imperial propaganda machine as a tyrannical and despotic rogue state, but it is the US empire who makes it necessary for governments to exert force if they don’t want to be replaced with subservient US puppet regimes. Western propaganda likes to frame the global struggle as free democracies versus oppressive autocracies, but really it’s just nations who wish to retain their sovereignty versus the empire who wants to take that sovereignty away from them. It is the fault of the US empire that the only nations who have thus far resisted absorption are the ones who retain enough military strength and domestic control to do so. The United States didn’t retreat from Vietnam because the Americans suddenly developed a conscience, it retreated because the Vietnamese fought like lions and kept sending home coffins draped in red, white and blue. The Republicans didn’t lose the midterms because Americans dislike war, they lost because the Iranians beat the shit out of them.

— Trump’s Legacy Will Ultimately Be Determined By The Outcome Of The Third Gulf War

 

at 11/4/26 1:04am

If the conflict drags on or he provokes Iran into obliterating the Gulf’s energy infrastructure in retaliation for being nuked, for example, then the resultant surge in the cost of living that was responsible for the Republicans’ latest bloodbath will sweep MAGA into the dustbin of history in 2028. The Democrats retook control of Congress in an electoral bloodbath that decimated the Republicans during the midterms. Many had predicted that this would happen, and it’s not because of the Canadian meddling that the White House recently drew attention to or any other countries’ related efforts, but due to the cost of living surging as a result of the Third Gulf War that Trump initiated with Bibi. Higher oil prices naturally translated into higher prices across the board that hit average Americans very hard. Trump earlier threatened to become “Mr. Veto” if the Republicans lost control of Congress, elaborating that the Supreme Court recently strengthened his executive authority, and his sharing on social media of a pic of a red hat with the word “VETO” on it after the results poured in suggests that he’s serious. That’s sensible since it would be illogical for him to pass up the opportunity to veto legislation against his agenda when the Democrats don’t have the two-thirds supermajority in both chambers to overrule him. The Democrats will therefore have to either compromise over the next two years or the US will remain legislatively paralyzed with both sides blaming the other ahead of the next elections. The Democrats might also try to once again impeach Trump, but they lack the two-thirds supermajority in the Senate to oust him from office, so it would only be symbolic. In any case, Trump might pivot towards foreign policy if domestic policy is deadlocked, which could have important implications for many countries. Chief among them is Iran since Trump’s legacy will ultimately be determined by the outcome of the Third Gulf War. Each side blames the other for perpetuating the conflict across the entire year, but just like the Democrats will have to compromise if they want any of their legislation to pass, so too must Trump compromise with Iran if he wants to save his legacy. The reason is simple and it’s that perpetuating the high cost of living sparked by higher oil prices will doom the Republicans in 2028. The scenario of a Democrat president presiding over a Democrat-controlled Congress would spell the end of everything that Trump achieved at home and abroad during his second term, and it’s a credible scenario too since voters care more about the economy than foreign policy or so-called “culture wars”. About that, the Democrats’ landslide wouldn’t have happened without some Republicans either staying home or voting for the Democrats in protest, which they did due to their surging cost of living. This doesn’t mean that they “betrayed” Trump or the causes that they supported just two years ago, however, since most of them likely believed that Trump would indeed become “Mr. Veto” to preserve his achievements for at least the next two years. What they wanted to do was simply show him that the higher cost of living that the Third Gulf War is responsible for, which many of them consider to be a voluntary war since they don’t believe that Iran was on the verge of building a nuke, is unacceptable. Therefore, nothing would rejuvenate his base more than to swiftly compromise with Iran as a means of showing them that he heard their message loud and clear, which would then facilitate a gradual decrease in the cost of living that could restore the economy by 2028 and help the Republicans win. If he remains bogged down in the Gulf or provokes Iran into obliterating the region’s energy infrastructure in retaliation for being nuked, for example, then MAGA will likely be swept into the dustbin of history. https://korybko.substack.com/p/trumps-legacy-will-ultimately-be The post Trump’s Legacy Will Ultimately Be Determined By The Outcome Of The Third Gulf War appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— Israel Supporters Always Pretend To Believe Things They Don’t Actually Believe

 

at 11/3/26 7:25pm

The New York Times has published a story about a supposed Iranian plot to use chemical weapons which nobody actually believes. Not even the perpetually war-horny New York Times tries to frame this as a real news report, presenting it instead as a subject of tense division inside the Trump White House. Here’s an excerpt: “Israel has shared intelligence with the United States asserting that Iran is considering the use of chemical weapons against its adversaries, information met with alarm by some American officials and deep skepticism by others, according to U.S. and regional officials. “Some American officials see the Israeli intelligence as part of a pressure campaign by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to persuade the Trump administration to return to major combat operations against Iran. “Other officials believe the threats should be taken seriously, given the recent array of warnings about Iran’s preparations to attack American interests.” To be clear, not one single person anywhere on earth believes this is true. Israel doesn’t believe it. Washington doesn’t believe it. Nobody reading about it in the New York Times believes it. But we’re hearing about it anyway like it’s a real thing, because too many powerful people want more bombing in Iran. BREAKING: Israel has informed the United States it has intelligence that Iran is considering the use of chemical weapons against its adversaries, according to New York Times report. — The Spectator Index (@spectatorindex) November 3, 2026 Israel supporters are unique in the way literally all of them constantly pretend to believe things they don’t actually believe. Over the years I’ve argued with members of every political ideology on earth, and I’ve never encountered any group who does this like Zionists do. Other ideological factions might hold idiotic and downright evil beliefs, but for the most part they tend to actually believe the things they are saying. Not so with Israel supporters. I’ve been interacting with them for years, often over extended conversations just to understand their arguments and their worldview, and what stands out the most in these interactions is the way they constantly lie about what they think is true. They’ll pretend to believe a given high-profile critic of Israeli atrocities hates Jews just to help marginalize their voice. They’ll pretend to believe Iran is on the cusp of developing nuclear weapons in order to help drum up support for war. They’ll pretend to believe antisemitism is one of the most urgent and dangerous threats to our society today in order to push for more laws against pro-Palestine protests. They’ll pretend to believe every human rights group on earth is lying about Israel committing genocide in order to help Israel commit more genocidal crimes against humanity. In my time I have argued with many individuals who misrepresent my beliefs and the beliefs of other people, but Israel supporters are the only ideological group I’ve ever encountered who consistently misrepresent THEIR OWN beliefs. You don’t believe that. You’re just pretending to believe that to promote the interests of a genocidal apartheid state. https://t.co/dPuobulmji — Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) May 5, 2026 I’ve seen it over and over and over again. I’ll corner them on one of the claims they are making about what they believe, completely dismantling their given reasons for why they believe what they claim to believe, and they’ll just shift to some other reason justifying the existence of their belief. And this should not be surprising. If you would support genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid, of course you would lie about your own beliefs to advance those agendas. Bad people do bad things. If genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid do not bother you, then you are unlikely to have ethical qualms about communicating without intellectual honesty. These days I mostly just respond to such people by saying “You don’t really believe that. You’re just pretending to believe that in order to advance the interests of a genocidal apartheid state.” It’s the only way to deal with a group who literally never engages in good faith on any level. Israel supporters need to do this because their worldview is not grounded in truth or morality. They don’t hold their position because it is morally or factually correct, they hold it to advance personal agendas like career advancement, ladder-climbing, getting into Heaven, getting those tasty hasbara bucks, or winning the approval of their Zionist friends and family. In a healthy civilization, supporting Israel would be as culturally toxic as loving Adolf Hitler or advocating the legalization of child sex trafficking. But we do not live in a healthy civilization. We live under a murderous, globe-spanning empire that is held together by lies and endless bloodshed. Zionism is rewarded and amplified because its evils are shared with the evils of the rest of the western imperial power structure which is choking our world to death.

— Iran-U.S.: diplomacy at the top, shooting underneath

 

at 11/3/26 11:26am

Iran is diversifying big time – not counting only on the overland corridors to Pakistan, subjected to U.S. secondary sanctions. SHANGHAI – Only hours after the markets priced a possible U.S.-Iran deal, CENTCOM struck Iran’s Qeshm island in a “limited and defensive” manner. Qeshm is only a little over 20 km off Bandar Abbas and the hinge of Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz. That may have been officially defensive; but the fact remains that CENTCOM is fighting inside (italics mine) Iran even as Qatar is “mediating” in Tehran. The attack on Qeshm may have been a reply to Iranian fire at a U.S. fighter jet. But the crucial point is what the IRGC Navy announced it had shot down: two MQM-170 recon drones, south of Qeshm – apart from a MQ-9 drone over the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz (Iran has already pulverized 55 MQ-9s over the past few months). Tehran sources confirm CENTCOM is sending MQM-170 recon drones as decoys to incite an Iranian reaction and thus reveal the positioning of tactical air defense systems. This has been going on for weeks. CENTCOM’s reasoning: to counter attacks on ships illegally navigating the Strait of Hormuz. The ultimate danger: the Sociopath-in-Chief administration is negotiating and shooting at the same time. We are all on the razor’s edge. Tehran may well read the Qeshm strike as the opening of a massive strike campaign rather than a warning. The strike on Qeshm came on the very same day JD Vance referred to “some progress” and Trump vociferated he would not resume strikes after the midterms. Even as the machinery for a full joint U.S.-Israel campaign is in place; only the decision is not. Quick recap: Adm. Cooper briefed Trump on attack options Thursday last week, with both clownish Secretary of Forever Wars Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan “Razin” Caine present. The Gulf petro-sheiks were told strikes could come right after the midterms. Meanwhile Tehran keeps negotiating while fully prepared to fight. Foreign Minister Araghchi has described the non-stop indirect talks as “extremely intensive.” Even as Iran’s Army chief has raised the possibility of a pre-emptive strike, and no less than ten NPT-withdrawal proposals sit in the Iranian Parliament. Full negotiations will resume only once Iran’s Strait of Hormuz terms are met. Rezaee has not answered Vance’s letter formally, but he now says the U.S. “tone has completely changed.” Iran’s September plan reopened Hormuz on day six; Iran now offers two days, and Araghchi said Qatar had proposed five. Qatar’s framework trades a halt to Hormuz attacks for lifting the naval blockade. And Iran of course keeps the toll booth: the new Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) charges transit fees – in rials – and keeps lists of non-compliant ships. The real situation on the ground – actually the seas – is that Tehran has turned the closure into a permit system. And simply will not give up that kind of leverage. China moves to the forefront Pakistan seems to be back at the front of the negotiating channel. Araghchi reconfirmed that the Qatari and Pakistani channels are both “highly active.” The major diferential is that Tehran now wants Pakistan, the broker of the serially dead cat Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last June to carry its case – risks included. And in parallel, adding extra sauce, Beijing is finally moving from statements – and working in the shadows – to active shuttle diplomacy. A Chinese special envoy will visit Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia later this month. So China is now deep inside the Oman-route discussion for the first time. President Xi has told the Sultan of Oman that the Gulf “should not become an arena for great-power rivalry.” China’s interests are quite clear: crude should flow freeely through the Strait of Hormuz; the interests of its Gulf partners should be preserved; and Beijing by all means wants to stay clear of U.S. secondary sanctions. It should never be emphasized enough how Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s recent discussions in Tehran were crucial to mark the Russian position: what is needed for West Asia is a new security architecture – or “indivisibility of security” – with all the key players involved. And that connects with the three-way APEC idea – which came from top Putin adviser Ushakov, not Lavrov: Russia, China and U.S. discuss Iran in depth at a Yalta 2.0-style meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, in two weeks. The whole carnival about a possible nuclear strike on Pickaxe Mountain, arguably with a B61-11 nuclear bomb with earth penetrating capability, is actually going nowhere – and was de facto defused by a high-level source in Tehran: the site is already empty. As for NPT-withdrawal proposals registered in the Iranian parliament – though none has been voted – number two of the Iranian government Mohsen Rezaee did confirm a change of nuclear doctrine is being weighed. The final decision of course comes from Leader Mojtaba Khamenei – of whom Rezaee is the personal representative. Even if the volcanic Sociopath-in-Chief decided to bomb Pickaxe, that would not settle what he says the U.S. is fighting over: Iran’s ablity to enrich uranium. Then there’s Dimona in death cult territory. Mojtaba’s order this past Saturday to all military commanders for a “geographically unrestricted” response in case of an American/Israeli attack of course includes Dimona as a top target. Iranian missiles previously hit Dimona town on March 21; the IAEA then saw no damage to the reactor and no abnormal radiation. The reactor is small: no Chernobyl. Effects may be serious for the Negev region, but a direct hit would not turn all of Israel uninhabitable. Each side acting on its own security logic The Mecca Defense Alliance continues to ruffle all sorts of feathers. Taken at face value, this is a three-state collective defence treaty. Turkey’s Foreign Relations committee approved it and the plenary vote is pending. There have been so far “no objection” to new members joining. BADR for its part is a four-way defence industry MoU (Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia), with no defence pledge and no money. The bottom line is that each player is protecting its own priorities: Pakistan its energy, border and $8 billion in Saudi deposits; Riyadh an end to Ansarallah’s fire (but for that they need to sit at the negotiating table); Ankara a defensive pact without combat duty; and Doha its role as mediator and its LNG. But another interpretation is also being widely discussed. Let’s assume that the Alliance went to the Tehran Summit at the very least to subliminally threaten the Persians. For that it would be key to ignore the positive slant by Mohsen Rezaee. This interpretation sees the three members as subject to the Anglo-Zionist axis, unwilling to defend Gaza but united in “warning” the Persians. Turkey is the intel hub, integrated with NATO, and obsessed by Greater Turan and a neo-Ottoman return to Arabia. Saudi Arabia is “follow the money” territory – and hatred of Shi’ites. And Pakistan represents the more complex angle, featuring unbreakable bonds with both the Anglo elites and Saudi wealth, and parsed by actors who believe they can send Baloch mercenaries and assorted Salafi-jihadis into Iran and survive. Iran meanwhile is diversifying big time – not counting only on the overland corridors to Pakistan, subjected to U.S. secondary sanctions. They are building railroads to Afghanistan; Araghchi is in Turkmenistan right now to strengthen connectivity ties; number two of the Supreme National Security Council, the mega-competent Bagheri-Kani is in Beijing; and Mohsen Rezaee called President Putin to let the corridor via the Caspian to flow even faster. So in a nutshell, as we reach Election Day in the U.S., diplomacy keeps moving at the top while the shooting has already started underneath. Washington is answering with words of “progress” by day and strikes on Qeshm by night – while the tanker fleet for something much larger sits in the Negev. Each side is acting on its own security logic. Iran wants the naval blockade lifted and its Strait of Hormuz navigation permit system recognized. The U.S. wants verifiable nuclear limits. The death cult badly wants a bombing campaign. If Iran answers Qeshm at sea and JD Vance still answers through Pakistan this week, the window stays open. If Iran’s reply hits Gulf energy or U.S. aircraft, the November 4 date briefed to the Gulf petromonarchies goes live, and Shenzhen in two weeks becomes the site where the bill will be argued by Russia-China-U.S. Iran-U.S.: diplomacy at the top, shooting underneath The post Iran-U.S.: diplomacy at the top, shooting underneath appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— Western News Media Propagandists Describe US Bombing Iran As “Defensive”

 

at 11/3/26 7:10am

The propagandists of the American press have been uncritically describing recent US airstrikes on Iran as “defensive” despite the US being the clear aggressor in this ongoing conflict, and despite the United States existing on the other side of the planet from Iran. CBS News was the most egregious offender with its headline, “U.S. launches defensive strikes at Iranian targets near Strait of Hormuz.” The title frames it as an objective fact that the attack was defensive in nature, without quotation marks around the word “defensive” and without even bothering to uncritically cite US officials as the source of this claim. As a reminder, CBS News was recently acquired by David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison, who is one of the wealthiest people on the planet with a net worth of some $160 billion and who is also the largest single donor to the Israeli military. The Ellisons have responded to Israel’s genocide-induced PR crisis by frenetically buying up control over major platforms like CBS, CNN, HBO Max, Warner Bros and TikTok in order to drum up support for US-Israeli military agendas. “Defensive” Words have lost meaning. pic.twitter.com/81alJrlYt3 — Assal Rad (@AssalRad) November 3, 2026 Other mass media outlets weren’t much better, uncritically regurgitating assertions from the US government which present the attacks as “defensive”. The Associated Press headline on the story reads, “US has conducted defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, US official says.” From The Washington Post, “U.S. forces launch new ‘defensive’ strikes in Iran on eve of election.” From CNN, “US military conducts strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island in defensive operation, officials say.” From Fox News, “US launches ‘defensive’ strikes on Iranian island as Tehran talks hang in balance.” From Reuters, “US carries out ‘defensive’ strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island, officials say.” From ABC News, “US carries out defensive airstrikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island: Officials.” From Politico, “US has conducted defensive strikes on Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, US official says.” The first paragraph of the Newsweek write-up on the story reads, “The U.S. carried out defensive strikes against Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official told the Associated Press (AP) on Monday.” Imagine if Iran started bombing New Yorks Long Island. Would any media outlet in the world describe it is "defensive in nature"? https://t.co/7xzL3CR0xR — Alan MacLeod (@AlanRMacLeod) November 3, 2026 The story that these propagandists are spinning was first broken by The Wall Street Journal, who reported that the attacks on Qeshm Island were actually part of a series of secret strikes on Iran which have been going on for weeks now. Paragraphs four and five of the report contain claims attributed to anonymous US officials saying their attacks have been “defensive in nature” in response to Iranian aggressions, which the aforementioned other outlets then seized on as the most significant and newsworthy element in the story. At no time is the assertion that US forces are “defending” themselves off the coast of Iran ever called into question by any of these outlets. At no time is the audience ever reminded that the US started this war of aggression without any provocation whatsoever. At no time is the audience ever encouraged to ask what the fuck the US military is doing “defending” itself thousands of miles from American shores. I never want to hear another American compare their media’s malpractice to North Korean propaganda ever again. Westerners are more aggressively propagandized than any other population on earth.

— The US’ Claims Of Canadian Meddling Are Interesting & Ironic

 

at 11/3/26 1:40am

They’re interesting because few could have predicted that Canada of all cout6nries would one day meddle in American elections, and they’re ironic because the examples cited are a sliver of how the US regularly meddles in other countries’ elections. The White House released a fact sheet in late October concerning “Canadian Activities In U.S. Politics” wherein nearly a dozen examples of its recently meddling in American politics are shared. They have to do with Ottawa’s reciprocal tariffs explicitly targeting Republican states and its officials extending partisan support to the Democrats ahead of early November’s midterms. Most observers expect, both per the decades-long documented trend and global fuel crisis, that the Republicans will get trounced. It’s in this context and less than two weeks before the vote that the White House released its fact sheet. Quite clearly, Trump 2.0 wants to preemptively place partial blame for his party’s expected losses on Canadian meddling, which can in turn discredit the Democrats in the eyes of some voters as well as possibly justify additional tariffs against Canada on the pretext of retaliation. It deserves mentioning that these examples of Canadian meddling came amidst Trump’s repeated talk of annexing that country. That’s what makes these claims interesting and ironic: they’re interesting because few could have predicted that Canada of all cout6nries would one day meddle in American elections, and they’re ironic because the examples cited are a sliver of how the US regularly meddles in other countries’ elections. Economic restrictions and meetings with opposition officials are the tip of the iceberg. In this particular context, however, they might actually have an effect of sorts on the outcome of the midterms. To explain, Canada’s reciprocal tariffs can compound the economic pain that voters in Republican states are nowadays feeling as a result of the global fuel crisis brought about by the Third Gulf War that the US and Israel initiated last February, thus possibly influencing some to sit out the vote or cast their ballot for someone else out of protest. People can be finnicky like that, especially Americans who are stressed out by growing costs that directly reduce their standard of living, hoping that they’ll make a difference. It doesn’t matter to some of them that Canada is explicitly targeting their states for the purpose of undermining the last two years of Trump’s second presidency since some simply want to signal their displeasure with him. As for Canadian officials’ meetings with the Democrats, this could energize some of the Democrats in Republican states that might not otherwise vote, perhaps inspired by the belief that they can help set into motion some grand coalition against Trump that climaxes in 2028. In the event that the Republicans lose one or both chambers of Congress and Trump doubles down on his claim that foreign (whether Canadian and/or other) meddling was to blame, then this could help the Republicans in 2028 by rallying the base with fears of the aforementioned grand coalition against them. The belief that foreign powers are working with the opposition to undermine an incumbent government can become a potent rallying force as the US itself learned after the blowback from its own meddling. Looking forward, while it’s arguably the case that Canada is openly meddling in the US’ midterms, the impact shouldn’t be exaggerated, even though Trump is likely to do so for self-interested political reasons as explained. He won’t acknowledge that the Third Gulf War that the US and Israel initiated against Iran would be the most reasonable explanation for the Republicans losing one or both chambers of Congress since it would bruise his ego to admit that everything hasn’t gone according to plan. https://korybko.substack.com/p/the-us-claims-of-canadian-meddling The post The US’ Claims Of Canadian Meddling Are Interesting Ironic appeared first on TheAltWorld.

— How the US Seeks to Deflect Blame for War on Iran, Including Possible Nuclear War & Those Helping

Popular alternative media personality Tucker Carlson, whose father worked for US government Voice of America, and who himself attempted to join the CIA and spent his career working for US mainstream corporate media, is suggesting Israel is pressuring the US into war with Iran, possibly even nuclear war; Not only is it stated US policy to use Israel to provoke war with Iran and absorb blame and retaliation for it, but the US has now used this exact narrative three times to deflect blame and consequences away from itself and onto Israel; Israel serves as an extension of US power in the region and is no more capable of dictating to or pressuring the US into policies than a hand can control the body it is attached to, or a tentacle can control the octopus it dangles from; References: New Atlas Who Really Controls US Foreign Policy & What They Gain By Convincing You Otherwise(Jun. 2026): • Who Really Controls US Foreign Policy & Wh   Brian Berletic (X) US Media is Setting up the Israel Did It! or Israel Made the US Do It!
