β€œDemocratic” Representatives Henry Cuellar, Greg Landsman, Jared Golden and Juan Vargas joined nearly all House Republicans to defeat a resolution that attempted to limit Trump’s ability to take unchecked military action against Iran.

Listen up because the status quo is dead & gone. Dude has this right. Only a GENERAL STRIKE can stop the madness without violence. But go right ahead, keep your head down and hope for the best, while our β€œrepresentatives” cash in from our military industrial complex.

Dear International Media,

Iran did not start this. This is not the Iran War. This is the Trump War, started by the warmongering, child-raping, senile fascist dictator. Trump is the culprit here, and he should get all the blame for this, including the murder of 100 Iranian schoolgirls. #TrumpWar

Iran is not Venezuela, despite Trump’s hopes of repeating β€˜regime capture’ strategy Experts say US influence over South American neighbour will be hard to replicate in country with deep and long-standing antipathy to the west

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Trump will do anything to protect his ego even if it kills us.

FCKING FOOL! No matter how many memes? At the end of the DAY-a meme still falls completely short what an ASS Donald Trump IS! Also screams volumes about any following him. As always? People-don’t go crazy 😜 overnight! Thank you for YOUR attention to this matter. Carlton 🎀🫳.

Trump rules out talks absent Iran's 'unconditional surrender' as Israel strikes Lebanon The strikes in Lebanon were the heaviest since a 2024 ceasefire ended the last war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah, who fired rockets at Israel in the opening days of the latest conflict.

President Donald Trump's latest comments were likely to raise further questions about the endgame of the war launched a week ago by the United States and Israel, which appears increasingly open-ended. https://to.pbs.org/47vqFx8

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Interesting that among the few advance plans we made are those that benefit Russia. See my longer essay on Oligarchic Corridors.
