Hey guess what.

True story.

The U.S. and Britain already overthrew the Iran government in 1953.

We placed a dictator in charge.

Who then terrorised the Iranian people for a quarter of a century.

The U.S. and Britain got 40% of their oil fields.

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week

Here's our interview:

No, the responsibility lies within the USA government and tech sector and the lack of understanding and knowledge by lawmakers in other countries.

They might want to remember all the betrayal from USA time and time again.

There is something rotten in Rutte. He should be removed from his post.

EU scrambles to defend Spain from Trump’s embargo menace President Donald Trump’s threat to cut all ties with Spain after it opposed his war on Iran again puts the bloc’s unity to the test.

🚨🚨Symbolically important that EU countries and EU institutions shore up support for #spain in the context of fear of trade retaliation from the #Trump regime. This should be self-evident but unity of EU here is under pressure. 🧵

Evilution: Why the Psychopaths Always Win The fact that the most dangerous psychopaths end up in the highest positions of power is a huge indictment on society.

“Our prisons are filled with people incarcerated for petty crimes which are the direct result of social inequality, while those responsible for this inequality jet set from one continent to the next, and from their latest war crime to the next UN buffet lunch”

Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.

Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is joking about hopefully not killing journalists and photographers in the Pentagon briefing room.

cannot stress enough how absurd it is that our government officials are mocking Iranian leadership for being delusional theocrats when they themselves genuinely believe this war is a mission from God to prepare the holy land for the Book of Revelations

Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

There is a global boycott underway against Chat GPT. Open AI is working with the Pentagon and ICE. They have donated $25 million to Trump. They are working for the authoritarians. People have the power to resist and send a message to the toxic tech bros.

Remember when the US encouraged the Marsh Arabs in southern Iraq to rise up against Saddam Hussein after the Gulf War in 1991? They were slaughtered by the tens of thousands when the US couldn’t back them up. Ask the Kurds how it went for them in the north. Does anyone remember history anymore?

From my CIA memoir, "Long Strange Journey," regarding the abandonment of Iraqi Kurds Bush 41 had exhorted to rise up against Saddam's crippled regime: www.amazon.com/Long-Strange...

Trump Says War Could Last Weeks and Offers Contradictory Visions of New Regime

The Regime does not have a plan for whatever the hell they think they’re doing in Iran. And no trump it’s nothing like the invasion of Venezuela. He has offered about half a dozen possible scenarios. He does not understand the internal dynamics of Iran at all.

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

Many of the scientists Jeffrey Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that.

Here’s how Epstein approached them, and why they refused to have anything to do with him. ⬇️ https://scim.ag/40qbXnv

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
