US Continues Escalating - Strikes Iranian Power Infrastructure - Iran Retaliates
It appears the US has gone ahead and started striking Iranian power infrastructure.
Iran will almost certainly retaliate by striking essential infrastructure across the region.
Hitting power and desalination plants across the region will further impact energy production and exports, compounding energy supply and rising prices even if the Strait of Hormuz opened 100%.
I warned people the US is not going to end its war on Iran - at best it will pause like it did last year.
Stopping its war altogether with Iran would mean stopping its pursuit of global primacy altogether which it will NEVER do unless forced.
I warned the US would be burning the entire region to the ground to create a wider, catastrophic GLOBAL economic disaster it believes it will emerge out the other end stronger relative to China and the rest of the multipolar world - and that is what it is openly trying to do right in front of us all.
The longer people remain delusional imagining the US is "defeated" or that "Israel" is "forcing" the US into war for "Greater Israel," or somehow"sabotaging peace" the US has NEVER sought in the first place, the longer people will put off facing actual reality and the sacrifices required to overcome it.
The longer we put off denying reality, the greater those sacrifice will need to be.
The sooner people realize Israel along with all of America's other proxies are equally guilty but an extension of the US itself, and that US interests (US corporations like big-oil, the arms industry, big-tech, big-ag, big-pharma, etc.) have been and are still driving this and all other conflicts, the sooner people can expose and directly confront these interests.
And just remember - the people telling you today that "Israel" somehow forced the US into this war, were the same people who incorrectly told you Trump was going to "change everything" and was "fighting the deep state."
Just something to consider.
🇺🇸🇮🇱 The "Blame Israel" Strategy is Part of YEARS of US Policymaking Regarding a UNITED STATES WAR ON IRAN
▪️Israel is a US proxy and 100% dependent on and an extension of the US - it is AS GUILTY as the US in all of its crimes including genocide and wars of aggression;
▪️Like all US proxies - it is created and propped up specifically to do Washington's dirty work, accept all the blame AND all the retaliation;
▪️Washington and Wall Street are mobilizing their media and fake "alternative media" while coaxing many unwitting accomplices in creating a "rogue Israel" narrative in which a 100% dependent proxy somehow has "taken control of" the US or is somehow operating "beyond America's control;"
▪️This allows THE UNITED STATES to carry out any crime up to and including dropping nuclear weapons on Iran and blame it on "Israel" - not only is it obvious at face value - there are literally ENTIRE CHAPTERS about this in US policy papers including this one from 2009 titled "LEAVE IT TO BIBI";
▪️If the US really wanted to stop Israel it would simply cut its billions in money, munitions, military equipment, ISR, refueling, and all other support that keeps Israel artificially propped up in the Middle East - but it doesn't - nor does it stop its many other wars around the world connected DIRECTLY TO the war on Iran - which are ALL ultimately wars on China;
▪️This is no different than the US attacking Russia and blaming "Ukraine" when Ukraine is likewise a whole-cloth creation and extension of the US which wouldn't exist without constant US support;
Not enough people are talking about the fact that Israel likely tested a nuclear weapon last month in Dimona and that most of humanity is within range of its Jericho III nuclear missiles
-Can you smell our bodies being burnt?
How can I put together those letters and words that describe the depth of the pain and the magnitude of the crime?
The world may not yet have recognized the smell of our bodies being grilled.

The Covid pandemic was fake.
I’m not talking about whether or not the disease existed, that’s moot, because the pandemic was fake.
The photos of dead bodies on the street in wuhan were fake.
The refrigerated morgue trucks were fake.
The overcrowded hospitals were fake.
The “cases” and “deaths” were fake.
The dancing nurses were fake.
The research papers and peer review was fake.
The fear was fake. They told you that. They said you weren’t in danger and trusted you not to hear them.
The vaccines were fake. Their safety testing was fake.
The new science saying masks work - overthrowing decades of old research - was fake.
Millions of bots and sock puppets spat out millions of “my aunt died of Covid, pray for us and stay safe” Facebook statuses. They were all fake.
It was all set dressing. A play with a cast of hundreds of thousands. Compartmentalised to infinitely small cells of players incapable of realising their part in the big picture.
Pointillist propaganda. A thousand thousand tiny points that don’t look like anything resembling reality when inspected individually, but shape a grand design viewed from a distance.
None of it was real.
The vast majority of people have yet to engage with exactly what that means, and still don’t apply those lessons to media analysis.
The lesson of Covid, properly learned, has the potential to overthrow everything.
Five years ago people such as below, which is most Americans, enlisted as militants in warfare against The Other — filth that must be annihilated. By filth they meant anyone unvaccinated. It is classic genocidal policy. It is a surprise many Jews became active militants.
Russian newspaper Izvestia: The major terrorist attack on #Aleppo was coordinated between Turkish, Ukrainian and French intelligence with Israeli support and American approval. The planning was two months ago and the attack was supposed to be next March, but the events in Lebanon contributed to the urgency.
The issue is that the censorship coming from neoliberals does not represent the left but the right. Neoliberalism is fascism and Trump will govern as a neoliberal and carry out his own censorship targeting African Americans and pushing a mythological origin story about the U.S.
We are worrhless as human beings if we can do nothing to stop this slaughter. History will judge the complicit genocidal regimes harshly but harsher will be the judgement of the so-called non aligned bloc that stood by with nothing more than lip service to humanitarian rhetoric. There is nothing more important for the world today than to end this horror. What is done to a child in Palestine is a stain on our own soul and psyche that becomes a deeper wound as every single one of these bodies or collection of shredded limbs is paraded in front of us.
#GazaGenocide
This might sound like nothing but this is one of the most extraordinary revealing things Israel has said.
In the words of Israeli officials themselves Nasrallah literally died because he refused a side deal that abandoned the Palestinians.
In effect this man labelled "terrorist" died because he refused to yield on what all UN resolutions and the immense majority of the international community have been calling for ceaselessly. Except he, unlike those others, had teeth.
So, unlike what so many people are saying, the real reason for his death isn't because "Hezbollah are terrorists and they're bad" but so Israel can pursue its land grab and ethnic cleansing unimpeded. He was one of the only ones actually willing to make them face accountability for it and, in their own words, that's why he had to die.
Ne postoje „dupli standardi“ Evropske Unije. Postoji jedan jedini, nepromenljivi kontinuitet parazitiranja, razaranja i vandalizma nad čovečanstvom koji traje 5 vekova pod estetski drugim formama, s prenosom vrednosti sa periferije i akum. kapitala kojim podmićuju mase Centra. 1/
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE
Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.
This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.
WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
