Khamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead. This is not only Justice for the people of Iran, but for all Great Americans, and those people from many Countries throughout the World, that have been killed or mutilated by Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty THUGS. He was unable to avoid our Intelligence and Highly Sophisticated Tracking Systems and, working closely with Israel, there was not a thing he, or the other leaders that have been killed along with him, could do. This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country. We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!” Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.




Now I guess we just wait and see what happens...

Trump is Sweeping Aside Decades of Dumb Elite Groupthink (Noah Polack @ Twitter):

https://x.com/NoahPollak/status/2027770547451408733

Quote:

One of Trump's greatest legacies will be how he blew up a half-century of western diffidence, restraint, and failure on terrorism. As the era of Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s, western countries (very much including Israel) spun up all kinds of pseudo-sophisticated theories and excuses to avoid carrying out the only successful policy, which is killing terrorists -- as many as you can, whenever you can.

There are entire university departments, think tanks, media outlets, NGOs, foundations, and political parties devoted to promoting self-defeating, enervating fictions about terrorism designed to tie the hands of the West. We just have to live with it, deal with it, accommodate it, accept the barbarism. Terrorists have grievances. It's partly our fault, after all, because reasons. There are no military solutions. If we're nice to the terrorists they will actually help us stabilize the region. The tropes go on forever and they are invented by people who want the west to lose, and who would rather be wrong but appear sophisticated than be right and appear crude.

Trump wants our side to win. The winning approach to terrorism is very simple. Bomb them to smithereens. Kill them off. Decapitate the regimes. Sanction them until they have no more money for jihad. Trump gets it, because unlike so many people in politics, he doesn't care whether Harvard likes him.

Winning is going to generate a real peace dividend for America. Finally dealing with Iran -- the head of the snake -- will enable the US to step away from the Middle East. It will send a message to our adversaries that the big dog is still in charge. And very enjoyably, it will sweep aside decades of dumb elite groupthink about how we have no alternative but to cut deals with terrorists. Thank you President Trump.




Goddamned right.

Like I said here, many times back when I first signed up. Had GWB just nuked Mecca and turned the entire region into fucking glass, it would have solved decades worth of bullshit overnight.

Thank you Trump.

I hope you don't fuck me here, but I believe in what you're doing so far.

That's how it's been until now.

I don't see why you think Trump is in any way a continuation of what was.

He single-handedly changed the Republican party from the inside and what is left of the NeoCons is dying off. They were basically done when Dick and Liz Cheney and the Lincoln Project and Romney all lined up to suck on Kamala Harris' dick before the 2024 election.

And today, the Democratic Party is in its death throes.

And they've thrown every legal obstacle in front of him they could cook up on top of 6 failed assassination attempts and counting on his life and he's still fearlessly going forward with his plans.

And both of those parties have done everything you just said we've done, and installed their puppets all over the world for decades. Installing all of those NGO's all over the world with no oversight or ability for any American citizen to track where any of that money was really going and what it was being used for.

Trump gutted all of those NGOs, and he has been taking out all those US installed terrorist dictators all out one by one.

They told us we could never stop illegal immigration. Trump did that. They told us that we could never re-industrialize America and bring jobs back here. So far it looks like that's exactly what Trump is doing. They told us that tariffs were going to ruin America and that Trump was a lunatic, but they didn't. They told us that we'd never get Europe to pay their fair share defending themselves, but Trump got them all to chip in 5% of their GDP anyhow.

I really think you need to stop viewing all of this through the lens of the mid to late 2000's.



How many years did we go after Saddam before he was finally killed?

Osama Bin Laden?


Another one bites the dust in less than a single day, just like I suggested several times earlier this week was going to happen if any move was made.



I don't know...

But at the same time, somebody here is going to have to start giving me credit for being correct nearly 100% of the time in the long run unless Trump betrays all of us and makes a total clown out of me.

I could be wrong now... but I don't think so.

This is from Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst and current security consultant.

Quote:

Donald Trump and the neocons are wild with joy tonight over the murder of the Ayatollah Khamenei… This is just one more example of Western ignorance about the implications of the Ayatollah’s martyrdom. Let’s start with the fact that the Ayatollah is the one who issued the fatwa 36 years ago declaring that it would be a sin for Iran to build or use a nuclear bomb. So the West thinks that killing the one guy who has been the main obstacle preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is a good idea?

The Shi’a communities across the region took to the streets to protest and mourn the Ayatollah’s passing. In neighboring Baghdad a large crowd of Shi’a are now trying to breach the Green Zone. Iraqi security forces are trying to hold them back. This assassination by the United States and Israel was intended to weaken the Islamic Republic and set the stage for regime change. I think it will have the opposite effect, i.e., strengthen support for the government and bolster the status of hardliners who have zero inclination to compromise with the West.

FIRES STOPPED:

47 - Peter Pan: Disney killed Peter Pan with 2023's Peter Pan and Wendy.

68 - Homicide: Homicides in the U.S. have plummeted, with 2025 data showing one of the largest single-year declines in recorded history, potentially marking the lowest murder rate in over 125 years. Major cities saw a 25% decrease in murders compared to 2019 levels. The decline follows a 2021 peak in violence, with significant drops in gun-related homicides.

77 - U-2: U2 sucks. U2 has always sucked. U2 is as dead as the Democratic Party in 2026. U2 destroyed itself and put the final nail in their own coffin with it's TDS video released a few weeks ago:

(I know that's not the U2 that Joel was referring to, but it's still pretty fucking funny... :laugh)

111 - Ayatollah's in Iran (Not no mo, there ain't!)

119 - Crack: I'm pretty sure that Crystal Meth and Fentanyl killed crack a long time ago.


EMBERS STILL BURNING:

3 - Red China: China's economy is experiencing a significant slowdown rather than a sudden collapse, driven by a deep property sector slump, weak consumer confidence, and high debt. Growth has decelerated to around 4.5%-5%, with deflationary pressures and falling investments in real estate and manufacturing. While a total systemic collapse is unlikely, China faces a prolonged period of stagnation, similar to Japan's "lost decade" in the 1990s, rather than an immediate catastrophe.

12 - North Korea: Rocket Man loves Trump. Rocket Man wishes he could be Trump.

23 - Vaccine: RFK is working on this and bringing it down to a reasonable number while cutting off the head of Big Pharma.

49 - Disneyland: Disneyland is experiencing a notable, continued, and unexpected attendance and spending slump, with U.S. parks reporting a 1% decline in attendance in 2025. This downturn is driven by high ticket prices reducing demand, fewer international visitors, and a "post-demand" slump, forcing the resort to introduce more affordable options.

64 - Lebanon: Lebanon’s Hezbollah vows to ‘confront aggression’ of US, Israel
(So Lebanon, you choose death... Lebanon be writing checks their asses can't cash).

68 - Homicide: The U.S. homicide rate is projected to hit its lowest level in over a century in 2025-2026, dropping 21% from 2024 to 2025 and over 40% from its 2021 pandemic peak, likely falling to approximately 4 per 100,000 people. This decline is part of a broad, sharp decrease in violence across major U.S. cities.

69 - Children of Thalidomide: Though that issue has been taken care of, we have no idea how many children (and adults) are going to be fucked up long-term from Covid shots, and (as referenced in 23 above) Kennedy is working on limiting the number of vaccines to a reasonable level so all of our kids don't end up being retarded in the future like Gen Z and Gen Alpha are.

97 - British Politician Sex: Prince Andrew the Pedophile's favorite song:


More to come, I'm sure.

109 - Palestine: State of Palestine strongly condemns Iranian attacks on Arab states.
https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/167841
(So... you chose life Palestine. Good on you.)

124 - The Cola Wars: arting in early 2026, several US states are restricting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from being used to purchase soda, soft drinks, candy, and, in some cases, energy drinks. These changes, aimed at improving nutrition, are being implemented in states like Arkansas, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and West Virginia, with more potentially following.
(And once these states prove how easy it is to remove junk food and soda from the EBT system, other states will follow, if there hasn't already been a federal ban on buying shit with EBT benefits).


WAIT FOR IT...

116 - Foreign Debts: Don't listen to the elites who have been wrong about everything. Let's just wait and see how this one plays out over the next few years, huh?

117 - Homeless Vets: Once we kick out 30 Million illegal alien invaders, this one shouldn't be a problem anymore either.




We're working on the list, Billy. Too bad your fucked up generation added so many more to the list since then. But we're putting out the fires now while half of you sat back and did nothing but bitch about them and the other half tried putting them out with gasoline.

Exiled Shah Reza Pahlavi: "I Am Leading This Transition," "The Military Will Side With Us, And We Have A Plan"

eading_this_transition_the_military_will_side_with_us_and_we_have_a_plan.html


Quote:

MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: Joining me now is His Royal Highness, the exiled former Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, live from an undisclosed location this morning. Your Highness, thank you very much for being here. Wow — we are at this day. We have been together many times in the last several years talking about this.

Your reaction to Khamenei's death and this U.S.-Israeli strike against Iran.

REZA PAHLAVI — FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: There’s no question that this is the game-changer we’ve been waiting for all this time.

The jubilation of Iranians at home and abroad shows how much people were hoping for this moment, and I join millions of Iranians in thanking President Trump for taking this into action and delivering on his promise.

We are so elated by the fact that now we have the beginning of the very end of the regime, because at least we are going to see more and more decimation of this regime, which can only equal the playing field so that the Iranian people can come back to the streets and claim their country back from this hated regime.

And that is exactly what President Trump has been telling and messaging to the Iranian people: Take back your country.

MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: How can they do that, sir?

REZA PAHLAVI — FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: Well, Maria, this is the time now for a very strong, stable transition.

I am leading this transition. I have the support of millions of Iranian people. I have people inside the country who are joining and broadening the coalition of forces that will be at play in filling the vacuum.

The military will side with us, and we have a plan of action and a transition plan.

As a matter of fact, I’m glad to hear what Senator Fetterman was saying. It’s music to my ears.

I always thought that this should be a bipartisan issue when it comes to America’s national security interests, as well as business opportunities in the future.

We, as Iranians, look at America as our best partner in reconstructing ourselves. You know, the president says MAGA — we say MIGA, Make Iran Great Again.

In that sense, a different Iran that will now be at peace with the region, work with our neighbors, and bring an element of stability will be good for American national security.

But most importantly, it will be an opportunity to be successful in terms of economic growth and what have you, just by the change that we hope to bring to the table — probably over one trillion dollars’ worth of impact and revenue to the American economy, just by Iran’s market being open to America and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran.

All that was needed was for this regime to no longer be there, and I think that is something that should be important to America and Iran both.

MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: So where does this transition leave the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, where leadership there is still vowing revenge?

How does this transitional government look when you have Persians, Shia, Sunni — a secular government?

What do you envision?

REZA PAHLAVI — FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: Well, Maria, obviously I think this campaign this time is not just to set back the Iranian nuclear program or anything like that.

This is full decapitation of the regime, and ultimately what will expedite its total collapse.

The Iranian people have suffered too much to settle for anything less than that.

But as soon as the transition plan is put into gear, we want to make sure that we address these issues immediately — to make sure that we have the ability to have a stable process that leads ultimately to a democratic outcome, so the Iranian people get to choose their future government and system.

What we need to do now is to make sure that we bring all the elements that can help that process into place.

I was talking earlier today with Senator Lindsey Graham, who’s a good friend of Iran. In fact, people now call him lovingly “Uncle Lindsey” for his position.

He talked to me earlier, saying that he would like to try to organize a bipartisan group at the Senate level for us to present that plan, so both the administration and Congress will understand better what we have in mind and get more into the details.

You and I have talked about the IPP project — the Iran Prosperity Project — before, and the first 100 days are critically important in terms of how we do that for the initial transition.

I’ve been working with a number of Iranians from across the spectrum who are united in this purpose.

We have the most diverse coalition of people dedicated to that process, representing different parts of the country, including religious minorities and ethnic groups, all aligned in this national project that we have.

So I feel extremely confident that we can get this into place and make sure that we fill the vacuum, and that — unlike other scenarios that did not pan out so well, for example post–Saddam Hussein de-Ba’athification — the Iranian scenario is very different.

It’s different than Venezuela.

We do have an absolutely ironclad plan in mind.

Of course, what’s critical is that the more this regime is totally weakened and collapses, whatever remains behind that is not part of the solution is not incorporated into our transition.

The civilian bureaucracy, as well as the military and security forces, will be incorporated appropriately.

MARIA BARTIROMO, FOX NEWS: OK. We’ll be watching all of that. How long would you expect your transitional leadership to be?

REZA PAHLAVI — FORMER CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: Well, Maria, to be realistic, from the time that we start until the day we can have the final referendum, I anticipate a period that should not be longer than a couple of years at most.

What’s critical is the first 100 days — to immediately stabilize the country and the Iranian economic situation, and to ensure that the apparatus of government remains as intact as possible so the functioning of the country continues to be in place while we bring all the components together.

At the very end, the people will have a choice, and various plans will be proposed in the Constitutional Assembly, which is the entity that will, of course, debate all these issues.

Why Khamenei Is Dead

The best-planned defenses don’t count for much if the people you trust to run them are ready to sell you out.

By Graeme Wood | March 1, 2026, 8:15 AM ET

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/why-khamenei-is-dead/686198/

Celebrating or calling for the deaths of others is wrong, and bad for the soul. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed yesterday by Israel, did so just about every time he spoke in public for 37 years. He handed out Death to Americas and Death to Israels the way other people would say Yo! or How you doin’? The one time I saw him in person, at Friday prayer at Tehran University in 2004, he ended his sermon with these chants and then drove off literally seconds later in the back of an armored sedan, passing so close to me that I could see his car had recently been waxed. Many, many Iranians, as well as Syrians, Iraqis, Lebanese, and Ukrainians, wish Khamenei could be brought back to life for just one minute, so they could give him the finger, or maybe the whole fist. I missed my chance.

He was the enemy of many. But he was also an enemy to himself, one of the Iranian regime’s points of vulnerability. During the past two years of conflict with Israel and the United States, Iran experienced a total failure of leadership. It has not experienced failure in every domain. The regime’s missiles partially deterred Israel. Its institutions held fast and didn’t collapse. No units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have defected. But the leadership—that is, Khamenei and his tight circle of loyalists—have performed shambolically.

Khamenei negotiated with President Trump in a way that suggested he knew nothing of the current president’s vanity, or contempt for multilateralism. Khamenei and his close advisers behaved, as Robert Conquest used to say, as if controlled secretly by their enemies. They made blunders, such as the decision to sit in a room together for a secret meeting, where they could conveniently be killed in one go, and in the first hours of the war, by an Israeli bombing raid. Israel and the U.S. somehow knew where everyone was, as if they had a listening device implanted in Khamenei’s hearing aid, and trackers installed in the Fitbits, Apple Watches, and artificial pacemakers of every member of the Iranian high command. This intelligence achievement was not only technological—the penetration of devices. It speaks to the basic failure of the Islamic Republic, and of Khamenei himself, to provide a state worth fighting for, rather than selling everyone out. Someone must have been squealing. Khamenei probably appointed the people who betrayed him, and they did so in large part because the regime he represented deserved betrayal.

Jaber Rajabi, whom I interviewed before the war, was one such true believer in the Islamic Republic who betrayed it after he smelled the rot. He was naive enough to believe that he could fix the rot by reporting it directly to the supreme leader. Instead he was swatted away, he told me.
And if you imagine the small failure of command that Khamenei’s response represented—and then remember that there are probably many others like it—the infiltration of Iran’s top leadership will be less mysterious.

Rajabi had, by 2015, come to doubt Iran’s policies in Iraq. He had been part of Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, and he said he fought on their side because he favored the establishment of a Shiite theocracy that resembled the one in Iran. He was perplexed to find that goal not supported but in fact thwarted repeatedly by Iran. Iran wanted Iraq to remain weak and submissive, and in the meantime, corrupt Iranian officials could suck its resources, profit personally, and leave the country an impoverished mess.

Rajabi did not rise up through the normal means—and that meant that he lacked some of the backroom knife-fighting skills that distinguish other, more bureaucratic types. He therefore approached the issue frontally. “I decided to take my proof of these activities directly to the supreme leader,” Rajabi told me. (At this point I am obliged to note that the story he told me is impossible to verify, but certain details make me think it is nonetheless true.)

His previous acquaintance with Khamenei had been in passing only: He knew Khamenei’s son Mojtaba because they periodically went to Qom together for religious study, and the supreme leader knew him, if at all, as one of his son’s friends. Rajabi was therefore reduced to meeting Khamenei by ambushing him after evening prayers in his compound. Jaber says he brought a dossier of incriminating documents. In the receiving line after prayers, the supreme leader first addressed Rajabi by the wrong name (“Jabri”). After this inauspicious beginning, Rajabi handed over the dossier. “I was shaking,” Rajabi said. “I was so nervous.”

What happened next is predictable to students of the dynamics of authoritarian rule. If you are supreme leader, admission that corruption exists is a sign of incompetence, because you are responsible for everything. There is, moreover, always incentive to promote incompetents, because competent people eventually might get competent at removing you. The incentives all work against the repair of broken systems and against efficient management of hiring and promotion.

Khamenei was known to be displeased when asked to referee disagreements between subordinates. He rapidly scanned the document’s executive summary, Rajabi said. “Normally if you hand him something, he hands it to his assistant.” This time he kept the document to himself, and tucked it under his leg. That was the whole interaction. Within weeks, an acquaintance in Iraq told Rajabi that Qassem Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force and the most powerful general in Iran, had heard about the document and wanted Rajabi dead. Over the next few years, Rajabi told me, he suffered multiple assassination attempts, the last of them a poisoning that nearly succeeded.

Well, that’s one way to manage down. No one familiar with the Islamic Republic will be surprised that the whole system was riddled with people who believed in nothing but their own enrichment and survival, and who achieved their exalted positions through mediocrity. Iran’s leadership was a soft target.

The ironic twist in this tale of human resources gone awry is that Khamenei was himself a talented leader in other ways. He looked at first like a nonentity, a caretaker to stand in for his much more charismatic and religiously accomplished predecessor. Instead he outlasted almost every dictator of his generation, and he created a network of proxies so ferocious that no enemy of Iran dared disturb it, until Israel decided it had no choice. He fended off challenges, including popular uprisings, in part because he came to power in a popular uprising of his own and knew instinctively how to neutralize them. And now he’s dead, and all of those accomplishments are crashing down, because the best-planned defenses don’t count for much if the people you trust to run them are ready to sell you out.

I haven't been able to find any legitimate sources backing up this assertion yet, and I refuse to post any from dubious sources, but I did want to throw out the possibility that Barack Obama might be in some serious shit right now.

Word is he just hired a legal team of criminal defense lawyers. Not Civil. Criminal...

Do you remember when we were dropping pallets of US cash in the middle east during his administration? Probably not, since most of you are retarded and don't remember what you read 2 weeks ago, but it did happen.

Supposedly, at the time, it was a nuclear deal.

We were told that Obama was making deals to prevent Iran from enriching uranium, but I'm hearing claims that there is receipts showing that he was actually using that money to bribe Middle Eastern leaders, particularly in Iran, to store "secrets". We're talking somewhere in the area of $2.5 BILLION of US dollars dropped onto foreign soil like he was Walter White or something.


This will be the last I ever mention of it unless we get some concrete evidence that we can share. But from what I've heard Obama will be served a grand jury subpoena by March 7th, so this won't be a tick tock hoax from here to eternity either way.

If this one is true, we should hear more of this by early next week.

If not, like I said, I will never mention it again.

And you've continually crossed every one of those lines, while taking more ground and drawing new ones to cross.

This all ends today.

You, the Modern Leftist, are a disease without any purpose other than the destruction of society. The only solution now is the complete and utter eradication of the Leftist Ideology, Worldwide.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Oh.... my.

Listening to analysts who've been consistently right about military actions and geopolitics (NOT Trump or Hegseth)... colonels, former CIA, USMC intelligence, etc. ... they universally say that Iran was never a threat, that this wasn't about nukes or protestors, that this was all about Israel, and that it's a terrible miscalculation.

I learned a lot from Scott Ritter, USMC intelligence and UN weapons inspector, who spent a long time deployed in the Mideast doing targeting, and then as a UN weapons inspector in Iraq, explained why Khameni allowed himself to be killed (he was conducting business in his home, not hiding in a bunker) and why it matters.

Suffice to say Trump ignited a regional war and potential revolts in the monarchies, all for Netanyahu's benefit. And that while Trump wanted a SHORT war and quick victory, the one thing he can't control is Iran's response.

If Israel is lucky, it'll survive, and if the (fat, corrupt, debauched) Gulf monarchies tyrannies are lucky, THEY'LL survive.

Fuck Israel.

And at the end of the day, Sigs... Were YOUR sources REALLY right about anything?

We've been living the Status-Quo since TPTB started fucking everything up for everyone after WWII right up until now.

And now your favored sources are saying the exact same thing to you that the Democrats are saying to Ted and Second. That unelected EU leadership is saying to Jaynez.


You're still believing this is all for Israel. What makes you think that Trump is for Israel? Because there is a video of Trump wearing a Jew hat and touching the wall? Because he has a Jewish son-in-law? That's what's got Ted and Second and their Legacy Media telling them to say. That's what's got even Jaynez forgetting to post about Epstein 20 times a day too. They all stopped posting about Epstein for the last 4 days.

Why would you believe that Trump is doing what he says he's doing, or giving you the perception that he's doing what he says he's doing? He's surprising everyone all the time with the stuff that he does, and he's got the elites worldwide making stupid statements every day when looked at in hindsight.

Tariffs were going to destroy the world economy. They didn't. He was never going to get EU to pay their fair share. He did. Trump threatening to pull out war support for the rest of the world was going to make our allies weaker. It didn't. Trump taking out Maduro was going to fuck up relations with other foreign nations. It didn't (hell... it's as if everyone in the world already forgot about that one already too). Trump's initial strike against Iran in June of last was going to start WWIII. It didn't. That people of Venezuela both in Venezuela and in America weren't celebrating the fall of Maduro. They were. That people of Iran both in the country of Iran and anywhere else worldwide weren't celebrating the fall of the Ayatollah. They are.

For being Mrs. Contrarian about everything, they've got you in complete agreement with Ted and Second and Jaynez right now. Although it might be for different reasons, the end result is the same. All 4 of you are singing only moderately different versions of the same tune right now. You practically make up a choir together.


And the paid agitators in America that are out protesting are holding up the exact same signs today that they were holding up for Maduro and Venezuela with the name of the country changed. With people filmed joining both of those protests with shopping carts full of these signs to hand out to anybody else in the streets (both those being paid and those stupid enough to be marching every weekend without getting paid).


There's not a fucking sensible person who can say that the fall of the Ayatollah is a bad thing, yet the Legacy Media and lefty idiots out protesting are wrapping themselves up like pretzels trying to defend their fucked up logic and make you think there is something wrong with it while telling you the Ayatollah was bad out the other sides of their face.


I think the people YOU are listening to right now are just bad actors that are really part of the same group that has maintained the status quo for generations now. They're just guardrails for the right side of the gutter balls while the Legacy Media is guarding the left side of this game of gutter ball we've been playing for 70-80 years now.

All pretending that they're not ultimately on the same team. The team that is keeping us all arguing with each other instead of keeping our eyes on the prize.


This is one you need to sit back and wait out and see what happens. It's not as if you have a choice either way anyhow.

I've been right about a whole lot of things since the leadup to the November 2024 elections and beyond. Most things, actually. And as more time goes by, it starts to look like I've been right about nearly everything, if not everything.


It was no mistake that Venezuela happened nearly 2 months prior to the day of our recent strike on Iran. We stabilized one of the largest oil economies 2 months before we blasted the shit out of Iran and secured a whole lot of oil from them and started setting up that alternate very solid pipeline of oil while we're in the midst of ramping up our own production again. We've just eliminated a very large source of China's cheap oil in the short term, and very possibly the long term here too, which most likely is going to change into a large and much cheaper source of oil for the European nations instead if things go right.


You really need to be asking yourself why you're saying the same things that the Legacy Media, Ted and Second are saying right now and how you found yourself on that same side about this issue, even if you are on that same side for different reasons.


Until I'm given any reason to believe otherwise, I believe that Trump is America first and is putting Americans first. Even if at the end of the day, Trump is always putting Trump first, it's not because he's selling us out to anybody else. I believe that Trump is putting Trump first too. But I believe it is because he wants to go down as somebody who was loved and revered. Because despite all odds and everything and everyone powerful in the world stacked against him the whole time, he really DID make America great again in the end.

What does the man who already owns everything buy himself? Somebody like Jay Leno would maybe say "another classic car". That's what makes him happy. A garage the size of a large dealership with some of the most beautiful cars ever made is what makes Jay Leno happy.

Trump wants a spot in the history books. He wants people to be talking about him in classrooms 200 years from now like they talk about Abraham Lincoln.

And me? I don't really care if that's Trump being selfish as long as he's OUR Trump.

Man... I'm glad he's not working for anyone else.


If I'm wrong and he is, well fuck me. But I haven't been wrong about much since November of 2024.

And if there is one thing Trump should have proven to you by now, it's that nothing is as it seems.

Trump Opens the Pandora’s Box of Assassination

Killing anyone without a trial, let alone a foreign leader, involves a moral choice.

By Tim Naftali | March 3, 2026, 6 AM ET

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/khamenei-assassination-prece
dent/686215
/

On Saturday, the United States, in a joint operation with Israel, killed Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. For the first time in the postwar era, Washington has succeeded in killing a foreign leader—shattering a precedent that had been sustained for decades by a mix of moral, political, and logistical concerns.

Fifty years ago, in February 1976, President Gerald Ford signed Executive Order 11905, which directed that “no employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political assassination.” There should be no tears in the democratic world for Khamenei, who for four decades oversaw a repressive state with terroristic tentacles that extended throughout the world. But it is worth looking at why presidents of both political parties have long been wary of the state-sponsored killing of foreign leaders.

As a U.S. representative, Ford was a member of the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The experience affected him profoundly. During a site visit to the Texas School Book Depository, the members of the committee took a rifle similar to the one used by Lee Harvey Oswald and looked through its scope at the traffic circulating below. “Kennedy had been my friend,” Ford later recalled. “The thought we were reconstructing his assassination sent a chill down my spine.”

When Ford learned as president that the CIA had engaged members of the Mafia in a failed effort to kill Fidel Castro during the Dwight Eisenhower and Kennedy years, he was dismayed and quickly decided to form a special commission to investigate abuses by the intelligence community and suggest reforms. Only days after announcing the formation of the Rockefeller Commission in January 1975, Ford accidentally shared at an off-the-record lunch with executives and editors from The New York Times that his concern about abuses involved assassinations. While awkwardly trying to make a point about the continuing importance of secrecy, Ford told his guests that he had learned of some CIA activities that, if made public, would undermine the reputation of his Cold War predecessors. When asked for an example, the president absentmindedly responded, “Like assassinations.” Although the Times respected the ground rules, this was too juicy not to leak.

Within a month, the president’s comment became news, and public reaction to it and to earlier reporting about the CIA by the journalist Seymour Hersh sparked two congressional investigations into the assassination plots—the better-known panel was led by Senator Frank Church. Despite his unintentional leak, Ford was already predisposed to doing something to end this dark presidential legacy. “Although none of these assassinations had been carried out,” Ford later wrote in his memoirs, “the fact that government officials had even considered them was distressing.” A year later, Ford signed the executive order to make sure such operations didn’t happen again.

Ford’s successors actually broadened the scope of his assassination ban. First Jimmy Carter and then Ronald Reagan dropped the qualifier of “political.” Reagan directed that “no person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.” Reagan’s version of the assassination ban remains in effect, last amended by George W. Bush in 2008. President Trump didn’t revoke it.

Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton nevertheless wrestled with this self-imposed prohibition. After Libyan secret security blew up a West Berlin disco frequented by American servicemen—instantly killing a Turkish woman and a U.S. Army sergeant—in April 1986, Reagan sought to kill Muammar Qaddafi. The U.S. Air Force, in Operation El Dorado Canyon, targeted his residence but missed him. The administration rationalized that it had targeted Libya’s command and control and that Qaddafi, as head of the Libyan military, wasn’t a political target. When the CIA reported Qaddafi’s new location, Reagan considered a second strike but then dropped the idea.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s palaces were targeted by both Bush, in 1991’s Operation Desert Storm, and Clinton, in 1998’s Operation Desert Fox. Bush, who had been Ford’s CIA director, didn’t order Saddam’s elimination but hoped for it. “If Saddam’s military would take matters into their own hands and get rid of this tyrant, we would then have a real chance” of removing Iraq as a threat to allies in the region, he wrote in his diary in February 1991. “Our goal is not the elimination of Saddam Hussein, and yet in many ways it’s the only answer in order to get a new start for Iraq in the family of nations.”

Clinton, after receiving hard evidence of an Iraqi attempt to kill Bush during a postwar visit to Kuwait, launched a salvo of 23 tomahawk missiles at six buildings of the Iraqi intelligence headquarters in Baghdad. Seven years later, in December 1998, after Saddam blocked United Nations inspections of his alleged weapon-of-mass-destruction facilities, Clinton included six of the dictator’s palaces as targets of the 650 bomb sorties and 400 cruise missiles in the four-day Operation Desert Fox. Killing Saddam wasn’t Clinton’s main goal—getting the inspectors back in was—but the president wouldn’t have been upset if Saddam had been taken out by an explosion.

Clinton had no interest in negotiating with Osama bin Laden, but he worried that the assassination ban posed a legal complication for any plan to kill bin Laden. After al-Qaeda blew up U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Clinton ordered a cruise-missile strike against bin Laden’s headquarters in southern Afghanistan, as well as against an alleged al-Qaeda-directed WMD facility in Sudan. A few additional opportunities to kill bin Laden later materialized, but Clinton felt that the intelligence was not firm enough to risk killing innocents, losing military assets, or facing public criticism. As the 9/11 Commission determined, Clinton had authorized lethal action against bin Laden only if he couldn’t be captured, thus complicating the missions and leaving the CIA uncertain as to whether the agency was being directed to kidnap bin Laden or eliminate him. As one CIA manager told the commissioners, “We always talked about how much easier it would have been to kill him.”

Ford’s ban had been on political assassinations, and bin Laden wasn’t a head of state. But since the 1970s, presidents had doubted the public appetite for assassination attempts of any kind and been unsure of their legal status. That changed after 9/11. The public became broadly supportive of Washington targeting and killing individual terrorists, Congress gave President George W. Bush a blank check to use all “necessary and appropriate force” against al-Qaeda, and, just as significant, new technology made it possible to pursue the approach. Armed predator drones allowed commanders to surveil and target individuals. In 2011, President Barack Obama used the technology to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen living in Yemen. Through it all, the public seemed unfazed by presidents administering these faraway death penalties or even by reports of innocents killed as “collateral damage.”

President Trump’s authorization of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani in 2020 indicated how far we had come. As head of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Soleimani was part of a state-directed Iranian terrorist network that had killed, among others, American and allied soldiers in Iraq. The U.S., however, was not actually at war with Iran, which meant that Soleimani was a political target of sorts. Drones and presumably a new level of intelligence capabilities raised the likelihood of success.

After October 7, 2023, the Israeli assassination campaign against leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah revealed lethal intelligence capabilities that could only have been dreamed of in the predigital Cold War. In addition, the U.S. was apparently able to blind both Tehran during last year’s raid on Iranian nuclear facilities, and Venezuela this year during the capture of President Nicolàs Maduro and his wife—a fact that indicates the concerns about the loss of U.S. pilots to anti-aircraft systems (which complicated Reagan’s, Bush’s, and Clinton’s efforts to punish, if not kill, foreign leaders) are now much diminished.

In November 1960, a representative of Eisenhower’s State Department asked at a covert-action-planning meeting whether “any real planning had been done for taking direct positive action against Fidel, Raul [Castro], and Che Guevara,” because “without these three, the Cuban government would be leaderless and probably brainless.” The CIA’s response at that point was that “action of this kind is uncertain of results and highly dangerous in conception and execution.” Because the plan required eliminating all three simultaneously, the agency concluded that the “suggestion is beyond our capabilities.”

If tasked with a similar assignment in 2026, the intelligence community and the military would likely have the tools to target any political leader on the face of the planet. This is an enormously consequential shift in the foreign-policy tools available to a president. Killing anyone, let alone a dangerous foreign leader, without a trial involves a moral choice. Killing a foreign leader involves a strategic calculation with questionable odds. A regime isn’t a chicken; decapitating it doesn’t necessarily bring about its death after a short dance. Indeed, in the modern age, no police state has died by assassination alone.

As killing foreign leaders gets easier for us, harming our leaders also presumably gets easier for others. The international taboo against foreign political assassination has arguably had a stabilizing effect, despite those states—Russia, for example—that have flouted it. To put a fine point on it, however tempting it may be to eliminate troublesome foreign leaders, no policy maker in a democracy wants to spark acts of retaliation that cost the lives of our own leaders in turn.

‘I got him before he got me’

Neither President Donald Trump nor the Trump administration has publicly used that word – assassination – to describe the killing of Khamenei. They have offered multiple reasons for attacking Iran – lack of faith in Iran’s leaders in negotiations over Iran’s plans for a nuclear program; the potential for Iran to develop anti-ballistic missiles; Iran’s sponsorship of terror groups in other countries, the recent killing of protesters in its streets.

When Trump announced the strikes in a video posted to his social media account at 2:30 a.m. ET Saturday, he said, without evidence, that Iran posed an “imminent” threat. But in a phone conversation with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Trump offered a more personal reason for killing Khamenei.

“I got him before he got me. They tried twice, well I got him first,” Trump said to Karl.

. . .

More detailed quotes from the testimony of Richard Helms, who was involved in the 1953 Iran coup and also CIA assassination attempts before rising to be CIA director. In testimony, Helms explained both moral and practical opposition to assassination.

“If you are going to try by this kind of means to remove a foreign leader, then who is going to take his place running that country, and are you essentially better off as a matter of practice when it is over than you were before?”

Helms pointed to the assassination of Diem in Vietnam as an example.

“That whole exercise turned out to the disadvantage of the United States,” Helms said. At the time he made those comments, in the years before the Islamic Revolution, Helms was the US ambassador to Iran.

“It isn’t because I have lost my cool, or because I have lost my guts, it simply is because I don’t think it is a viable option in the United States of America these days,” Helms said of his opposition to assassination.

Three successive US presidents, Republican Gerald Ford, Democrat Jimmy Carter and Republican Reagan would each sign executive orders making it illegal for the US government to engage in assassination.

The Really REAL Reason for bombing Iran (ignore all the dozen phony reasons from Marco Rubio, Sec. of State)

'God’s divine plan': US soldiers say commanders told them they're fighting for 'Armageddon'

People are growing increasingly uneasy as President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran are looking more and more like they could be part of a right-wing religious fanatic's fantasy for the apocalyptic.

The Cradle Media's Jonathan Larsen wrote that American soldiers were given a pep-talk about the war in Iran. A U.S. combat-unit commander told them that the attack is part of “God’s divine plan." He said that President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus” for the specific purpose to ignite Armageddon.

“U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for 'Armageddon,' Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military," Larsen wrote.

The comments come as part of a lawsuit brought by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation; however, it is only one of "110 lawsuits brought in 48 hours from over 40 units across 30 installations," the report said. The complaints came from Christians, a Muslim and a Jewish soldier.

The Christian nationalist theory that Israel has a God-given right to much of the Middle East is one espoused by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. In a speech at a Christian Zionist church in Jerusalem in December, Huckabee conveyed his " purpose is to convert Israeli Jews to belief in Jesus in order to bring about the End Times," explained Religion Dispatches.

The concept is bad for anyone seeking peace in the Middle East, one 2024 report by Forward explained.

The sect of Christianity that Huckabee believes in holds that if they are able to remove Palestinians from the Holy Land, then Jesus Christ will return. He believes in “dispensational premillennialism,” which Forward describes as a belief that “the Rapture will come,” and deliver all evangelicals to Heaven as Israel is invaded by the armies of the world. It will cause Armageddon and prompt the return of Jesus Christ.

The language is making some fearful that the war waged wasn't really about Iran never obtaining nuclear weapons, which Trump claimed he destroyed last summer. It's a holy war, desperate to force Armageddon.

"Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture," lawyer and self-described nerd John Collins commented.

"Love when I'm in the military and my boss is, like, 'Time for Armageddon!'" commented author and journalist Emily St. James.

Writer and former Cato Institute policy analyst Will Wilkinson wrote, "Personally, I don’t think we should bring about Armageddon."

"One thing about the U.S., we definitely do not have insane religious zealots in charge," said Heidi N. Moore, previously of the Wall Street Journal business side.

Writer and elections lawyer at the Cato Institute, Walter Olson, quoted a line from the 1965 song "So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)" with lyrics by Tom Lehrer: "And this is what he said on/ His way to Armageddon.”

There ain't no war.

But you put it in quotes, so I think you already get that.

Yes. They were right about MOST things:

Russiagate hoax
Censorship by the tech bros.
War in Ukraine.
Covid. And vaccines.
Jan 06.
9-11
Saddam's "WMD".
Price of gold.
Ukraine coup.
More than I care to remember.


Quote:

And now your favored sources are saying the exact same thing to you that the Democrats are saying to Ted and Second. That unelected EU leadership is saying to Jaynez.
Unlike you, what I think isn't determined by what THGR and SECOND say.

Quote:

You're still believing this is all for Israel. What makes you think that Trump is for Israel? Because there is a video of Trump wearing a Jew hat and touching the wall? Because he has a Jewish son-in-law? That's what's got Ted and Second and their Legacy Media telling them to say. That's what's got even Jaynez forgetting to post about Epstein 20 times a day too. They all stopped posting about Epstein for the last 4 days.


Because Trump is lying about Iran as much as GWB lied about Iraq and Obama lied about Libya and Syria. When someone keeps tossing around an ever changing kaleidescope of "reasons" why they did what they did, you know ... or should know ... they're lying.

There was no LEGITIMATE security reason for us, the USA, to try to destroy Iran.

Quote:

Why would you believe that Trump is doing what he says he's doing, or giving you the perception that he's doing what he says he's doing?


The USA and Israeli military jointly attacked Iran. What Trump says is irrelevant.

Quote:

He's surprising everyone all the time with the stuff that he does, and he's got the elites worldwide making stupid statements every day when looked at in hindsight.
For being Mrs. Contrarian about everything, they've got you in complete agreement with Ted and Second and Jaynez right now.


Do you know what a contrarian is? It's someone who automatically takes a 180 position opposite position.

I'm not a contrarian. I'm not the opposite of JAYNZE or THUGR or SECOND. I'm not the opposite of MSM, or Trump, or Obama, or Clinton, or GWB. I try to stick with reality.

I've been against our "interventions" ...where we massacre millions and immiserate milions more ... whether LBJ did it, or Kissinger, or Clinton, or GWB, or Obama, or Biden ... or Trump. Just as I'm against every Constitution -shredding President, and every corrupt, treasonous Congress no matter WHICH party is in power.

Quote:

There's not a fucking sensible person who can say that the fall of the Ayatollah is a bad thing


Tell me why it's a GOOD thing. I'll bet you can't make it stick.

Dems are just as bought and sold by the Zionist lobby as the GOP. They're only positioning themselves to throw Trump under the bus when it all goes tits up, even tho they would have done the same.

Quote:

I think the people YOU are listening to right now are just bad actors that are really part of the same group that has maintained the status quo for generations now.

I think you have not a clue who I listen to, or what they say.

Quote:

All pretending that they're not ultimately on the same team. The team that is keeping us all arguing with each other instead of keeping our eyes on the prize.

Say, what IS “the prize“?

Quote:

This is one you need to sit back and wait out and see what happens. It's not as if you have a choice either way anyhow.
I did that. I waited for a full year.

What I see is a flimflam man who's being herded by different interests. Flailing broke thru globalist NATO, WTO “guardrails“. It's important to see underlying shifts, often obscured by partisan wrangling. But it's one thing to break rules, another to ignore reality.

Sure, Trump is "doing things“ that ppl thought impossible, but not all of them are GOOD things.

Quote:

I've been right about a whole lot of things since the leadup to the November 2024 elections and beyond.
And so wrong about some.

The Prize is America first.

I'm right about everything, and have been since November of 2024.

You keep pretending like you know what they know. Like you have the knowledge necessary to make the choices about things that Trump sure as shit isn't going to tell you, let alone the Legacy Media that would put all of his plans on full blast and alert places like Iran to what the next steps are going to be before they're executed.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to be right about everything, and you can just whine and bitch that things aren't immediately going the way you want to see them go on a day to day basis that Second and Ted and Jaynez are. Easy for any of you to say since you have no power or say in the matter, and you have no idea what is really going on.


I don't give a single fuck about your opinion on this matter any more than I give a fuck about any of theirs.


I'm 100% behind Trump and what he wants to do here.

We're going to bring America back to greatness with or without any of you fucking armchair warriors and your bullshit online opinions based off of nothing.

And it looks like I'm going to have to buy more I Told You Sos for the bag to hand out to you and Jaynez too.

So be it. They're cheap, and I love handing them out.

Hey... I'm patient.

Most of my I Told You Sos happen so long after I've made the predictions that Ted and Second have long forgotten that they even made statements to the contrary months later, buried under mountains of clickbait and headlines they've swallowed since.

We're not in a war right now. Anybody calling this a war is an idiot.

Iran is going to fall right out of the news cycle just like everything else all the idiots have been bitching about for the last 16 months.

And they're not doing themselves any favors by shooting missiles at everyone they can reach in the meantime.

Quote:

As of March 2026, Iran has launched extensive missile and drone barrages at
Israel and multiple Arab neighbors, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman. The attacks target U.S. military bases, energy infrastructure, airports, and civilian areas.



Yeah... Let's turn a 2-on-1 situation into a 12-on-1 situation.

Not a good plan, stupids.


But hey... you've made friends with France.

Fuck you too, France. We know you fucking love your Muslim illegals over your own citizens.

For the USA the War actually started on the 22nd day of June 2025 when the United States Air Force and Navy decided to bail Israel out after they attacked Iran and the USA helped Israel and attacked three nuclear facilities...worried they might have the ability to one day build Nuke Missiles...is that like Saddam fears?


Now if you want you can repeat talking points propaganda 'Special Military Operation'


like Putin’s Address on the Ukraine Military Operation....No War by the Russia its just a 2 week Operation he said



now maybe just maybe this will be different for Trump...maybe some how by luck or politics or magic the people will just rise up and be a new type of Democracy for 'Iran'

maybe no boots on the ground


but there are troops and civilians on the ground across the Middle East, fires at consulates and embassy...not quiet the level of 'Blackhawk Down' and Benghazi and Kidnappings...but it is getting heated
There are riots in Pakistan
US is telling civilians to get out but you might be on your own

there was a terror guy maybe its not a cell maybe not in a terror cell but he went terrorist active in Texas, a shiite from Senegal going on a mass shooting

you have explosions and defensive actions at

Qatar
a France base
Greece post/fort
Iraq
Kurdistan Region
Jordan
Kuwait
Oman
Saudi Arabia
some other Emirates Sultan United Arab Emirates Kingdom Theocracy
United Kingdom base
Bahrain

plus the Israelis and USA have bombed the government to kill the religious leader and also bombed the latest Iranian guys in government or their assembly


There sure are a lot of Drones and Missiles and Fireball explosions in the sky, military bases hit and civilian buildings burning for 'No War'
