The hard truth about the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran: it's a zero-sum game for Trump. Anything short of regime change is defeat—IRI survival strengthens them, erodes US deterrence, emboldens proxies, and nuclear weapon goals. Bombing alone won't topple the theocratic terrorist oligarchy. If there’s anything I know deeply it’s this: the Middle East respects strength through action.

When the strikes began, I recall saying out-loud, the only realistic path to regime change is a committed, long-term US ground presence—not endless occupation, but focused counter-insurgency (COIN) strategy with concrete goals and milestones to secure, stabilize, and change the regime. Iran represents a strategic location in the Middle East for U.S. and Israeli policy interests. China is losing Iranian oil, roughly 55% of Iran’s oil goes to China. To erode their ability to mass produce weapons of war, you get control of Venezuela and Iran’s oil capabilities to hurt the Chinese as one goal to achieve and maintain.

Iran's population (~93 million in 2026, median age ~34.5 years) is very young—over 60% under 39, with a huge post-1979 generation that's urban, educated, and increasingly secular. Unlike Iraq in 2003—where much of the population (especially Shia majority) resented foreign invasion and saw the US as an occupier—Iran's people are broadly **pro-West**, **pro-America**, and **anti-theocracy**. Years of protests (2009 Green Movement, 2017-2019 economic unrest, 2022-2023 Woman-Life-Freedom uprising), and most recently in 2026, the mass murder of 40,000 Iranians is the genesis for widespread rejection of the regime, demands for democracy/freedom, and openness to external support for change. This demographic hungers for modernity and connection to the West—they **can** be trained, armed, and partnered with by the US and Israel, flipping former regime elements or dissidents into allies essentially creating cells of fighters to be coordinated.

Key elements for success:

- Boots on the ground for kinetic ops against regime holdouts/IRGC/Basij/Foreign Terrorist fighters (already there and en-route), protecting the local populations and enabling defections/uprisings.

- Build concentric security rings: trusted Iranian military/advisors + US troops/partners creating layered protection.

- Forge real local alliances and HUMINT (tribes, dissidents, youth networks) to counter hardliners—echoing Iraq's Awakening but applied smarter, with a population that actually wants America involved against the regime.

- Install/support a credible transitional figure like Reza Pahlavi.

No grandeur of illusions: Iraq/Afghanistan taught us nation-building pitfalls, public fatigue, and blowback risks. But half-measures (airpower-only) guarantee failure here too especially with a receptive, young, anti-regime populace ready to rise if given security and backing. If we're in to win, sell the public on a clear, COIN strategy with concrete goals and milestones: degrade threats, establish security and control, enable Iranian-led change, and exit responsibly.

The Senate is blocking legislation that would stop $40 million per week from going to the Taliban. It has not even scheduled a vote. Why would any Senator oppose defunding the Taliban?

Flashback:
Mahmoud Habbash, the adviser to the Palestinian president, has revealed that Hamas deliberately kills women and children in Gaza in order to damage Israel’s image. They use them as human shields and then sacrifice their bodies as propaganda tools.

This is not a secret. This is official Palestinian Authority admission.
Time and time again, Hamas starts futile wars against Israel, using women and children in Gaza as human shields to cause their deliberate deaths.

Once the bodies pile up, Hamas and its supporters parade the corpses in front of cameras to accuse Israel of “genocide.”

The Western media, hungry for dramatic images and hostile to Israel, happily plays along with this grotesque propaganda.

Christians in movies: Dumb, anti-science

Christians in real life:

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

This is how Lebanon went from being a prosperous Christian nation to being ruled by Muslims. Pay close attention!

“As Christians, we opened our doors to Muslims, and welcomed them into our country. We wanted to be inclusive and even made them part of the government.

But due to having several wives and many children, Muslims became the majority. Once they were the majority, they thought they could do whatever they wanted, and began massacring the Christians who welcomed them.”

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.

Muslim Brotherhood event, USA 2025:

“We may end up with about 50 members of Congress in the next six years…
The essence of dismantling the system of injustice is to replace it with the people who represent the Prophet ﷺ.”

Tlaib and Omar in congress. Another one joining soon from NJ. Mamdani as mayor. Michigan a terrorist camp. This was always the strategy… Infiltrate politics here, radicalize the next generation there.

Wake up, America.

Career violent felon, London Hogan Sr (37), shoots and kills an American father of 5 after the father, Louis Erebia, located his son's stolen truck via onboard GPS in Houston, Texas.

Mr. Eriba leaves behind his wife, and 5 children including 3 very young kids who will need their father's guidance as they grow up.

In a sane world this would have never happened as Mr. Hogan should be rotting in jail or have been executed by now.

Arm yourselves and train accordingly....

If you think things couldn't get any worse over the horrific murder of Henry Nowak.

It's now been revealed that Hampshire police were going to release a statement warning the public not to talk about it online and paint Henry as the aggressor before Digwa's trial!

Every single Senate Democrat voted against $100 million in funding for Child Exploitation Investigations and save children from s*x trafficking.

Every. Single. One.

This should tell you everything you need to know.

The Return of Hamza bin Laden

Al-Qaeda released a video yesterday featuring its Emir, Hamza bin Laden, in footage that appears to have been recorded years after 2009, yet not a single major U.S. media outlet has reported on it.

Ask yourself why.

This video was released by al-Qaeda's central media outlet, As-Sahab and shows Hamza alongside Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. Accompanying the video is a nasheed performed by an al-Qaeda vocalist, reciting a poetry elegy written by Sheikh Abu Hafs al-Mauritani aka Mahfouz Ould al-Walid, the former mufti and Shura Council member of al-Qaeda, mourning Sheikh Osama bin Laden.

You can clearly see Hamza bin Laden at 5:46. And by the way, he appears identical to the best image of Hamza that I obtained within the last couple years, the image I was suppose to show in-person to the National Security Council last February 2025 but my meeting was canceled by Sebastian Gorka. He even told some serving at the NSC that I was on drugs to stop them from seeing my evidence on Hamza.

For years, the government and its think tank allies have told the public that this threat was gone. They have purposely lied to you. The evidence tells a different story.

Consider this a wake-up call. The next generation of the bin Laden sons is coming to attack our homeland. Pay attention to what is being plotted and who is involved before events force the conversation that we have been preparing you for.

In September of 2007 I was working an NSA watch floor. During the ‘hand down’ brief (shift change) some folks working a MENA shop informed us that Israel had destroyed a covert nuke site in Syria. They’d used electronic jammers to fly silent and destroy the site in the dead of night. The Syrians had the site bulldozed over before the sun came because they did not want to acknowledge their violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel allowed it to stay silent because they wanted to avoid conflict from spreading in the region or possibly further. This is now all declassified. Google it.

Israel does stuff like that….A LOT. Now, 20 years later, they have become a technological superpower that punches further above its weight than any country its size in human history. To reject Israel as an ally would be the height of stupidity. China sure hopes we view them as an enemy, that I can tell you.
