In a moment of serendipitous timing for Zelenskyy, Iran fired approximately 300 drone missiles toward Israel. Now Congress is promoting further funding for Israel and Ukraine. Serendipitous serendipity strikes again.
Keep in mind, the flight time over the 1,000-mile distance provided plenty of time for Israel to prepare and respond with countermeasures, making a suspicious type of person wonder why Iran would even go through the exercise.
“Given the events of tonight, it is even clearer that the best way to help Israel is for the House to quickly pass the Senate’s bipartisan national security supplemental next week,” Chuck Schumer said. The House has so far declined to take a vote on the Senate-passed legislation with many House conservatives opposed to sending additional Ukraine and wanted stricter border policies included in an aid package. (LINK) Huh, funny that.
As if on cue…
“The House Republicans and the Republican Party understand the necessity of standing with Israel. We’re going to try again this week, and the details of that package are being put together right now. We’re looking at the options and all these supplemental issues,” Speaker Mike Johnson said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures. (LINK) Wow, what a remarkable coincidence. Amazing.
More than anything else, I always appreciate the way Nic Robertson provides the dramatic approach toward the needs and requests of the U.S. Dept of State and CIA. He’s really good at this. WATCH:
“serendipitous timing for Zelenskyy…”
Where’s Suspicious Cat when you need him?
In fairness, Congress needs to replace the missiles that Iran shot, too.
Here President Trump looks like how I imagine Moses was! 😀
Zeus
They were paid for via American tax-payer funds in the first place…of course American tax-payers will replace them. If our former Republic can just GIFT $10B in write-off of debt for upper middle class ‘semi’ educated white suburban government employees…we might as well fund the godless NAZI gangsters of Ukraine.
But DO NOT SPEND $1 DEFENDING OUR SOUTHERN BORDER! When we finally retake the Nation via votes or bullets…REPUDIATE THE DEBT! f* the repubs; f* the dems
Oh, we’ll “repudiate the debt,” alright. Because the interest alone (already @ $3T/yr!) makes that a statistical impossibility.. (Fortunately, I may miss the fun part when we end up having to overprint our fiat dollars with extra “O’s” like Zimbabwe’s.)
Damn straight repudiate the debt!!!
While Team Zero is running up the debt to impossible levels, thinking to overwhelm us and any Trump 47 efforts, PDJT is surely working to create an “optimal outcome” that sidesteps the destruction intended.
I can hardly wait to watch that from these very branches.
Sham-wow, what a coincidence. Tell us Mr. Shlomi, how does it pick up all of that money all at once?
U crane it!
ohhh that was good! lol
Now who would have ever thought that an “attack” that could be thwarted by superior weaponry and allied assistance (US & UK) would require BILLIONS of US taxpayer’s monies in foreign aid while our own border is wide open and we are being invaded.
Stop the foreign aid!!!!! For everyone.
AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST!!!!!
1.3 billion in interceptors alone from what I saw this morning. I don’t know if that is solely missiles or if gas, maintenance, combat pay, etc were included in those numbers.
Doubtless they inflated the numbers to justify the massive new grift demanded we consent to.
Yeah, as I read about the US not supporting a return strike against Iran this morning… Biden told Israel, “you got a win, take the win”. Now, urgent action is needed to assist. No worries, Con-gress is on the job. No opportunity to launder money gets by those crooks.
They think checks and balances have to do with their bank accounts.
I’m so tired of them pissing down our backs and calling it rain. My only encouragement is that more and more seem to notice these days.
Hey, try to look on the bright side; from what I understand, there IS a fence with barb wire, around the Capital bldg.
Thats what we call “A good start”,…granted no gallows or barrels of pine tar,….yet.
?w=620
BK: “Foreign aid” is really domestic welfare and payoffs for a very small group of wealthy and politically connected Americans. If you are an actual foreigner, truly in need of aid, and you are lucky, you might get one 5o-pound bag of rotting sorghum meal.
Yeah, well either way it is still taxpayer money going to someone else’s benefit with no benefit for the American taxpayer/citizen.
So, “foreign aid” and/or foreign aid needs to stop. Period!
Again, AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST! And only America.
How can we ask God to help us if we turn our back on the truly destitute. I’m not talking about flying anyone or allowing anyone to enter the US illegally and I’m only talking about water and a rice and beans level of nutrition being provided in their home countries.
Feel free to personally contribute wherever you deem it appropriate.
Forcing people to incur debt through taxes to support others is tyranny.
We are broke. One doesn’t incur debt to help others.
No one deserves to starve, not even criminals. The pittance that it cost to just keep people from starving could probably be paid for by the loose change found in Congressional and White House couches. If our Federal budget was administered by honest citizens there wouldn’t be an annual debt. If I were broke I’d share whatever I had to eat with any honest acquaintance.
But our government isn’t honest.
And the aid in question to this topical post is not rice and beans for some impoverished country.
And as I said before, feel free to spend “your” money however you see fit.
But don’t impose on others how they spend or want their monies spent.
That would be a little authoritarian, wouldn’t it?
Reminds me of the old Daniel Webster story.
“No one deserves to starve, not even criminals.”
Really? How about no one “deserves” to eat! It is NOT a right – it is a consequence of decisions made by many people, including those who are in need, as well as corrupt politicians who like to keep people dependent upon them!
Yes, there are millions of people in the world who go hungry every day and that is tragic, but it is NOT up to the citizens of one country to have the fruits of their labor taken from them by force, in order to feed the citizens of another country!
On an individual level we are all responsible, especially if we claim to be Christians, to offer resources to those in need BUT that is OUR decision to make. That means that we get to decide which people, and by what methods, we wish to help and we will have to answer for that, whatever we decide! The apostle Paul made this crystal clear 2000 years ago!
“Even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” II Thessalonians 3:10
You go, girl!!!
Sadly, so many of these poor live under regimes that steal our aid. Hamas is the perfect example. While I believe in some foreign aide, the governments should be made earn it.
Iran is not one, neither is Ukraine, and only the corrupt body calling themselves congress could find a way to tie Ukraine and Israel to the same funding bill.
Our tax dollars fund billions of dollars sent to the destitute every year, only to be stolen by war lords to buy weapons. It is time to turn off the spigot.
By remaining the freaking golden goose. Free crap never helped anyone.
I felt that. I worry also that US, WE THE PEOPLE, will lose our moral bearings because we too captive to the fraud that is the central state.
I would just say, that you are not alone in your sentiments. The reality is that ordinary men and women across America really are making a difference each and every day. Some call it charity. others just call it doing the right thing.
But let’s not be confused (I do not think you are…just point this out for others who might read too much into this): sending billions to Ukraine is not helping. it is creating a perpetual killing cycle. That needs to end. When president Trump gets into office, I expect him to negotiate a settlement//first with a cease fire treaty. It’s the only way to save lives AND it happens to help solve this green energy/reset nonsense that is truly starving THE WORLD. (* sar-cov-19 was nothing compared to the tight squeeze of inflation felt around the globe from “policies”…yes, it’s true..THEY really do want to kill us all).
When I can, and I do, I give to others and help raise them up. Because this is what I was taught to believe in. And it is my experience personally.
The giving is the reward…the satisfaction that today, poverty and affliction does not get to win…Satan can suck it
God Bless America
Zelensky needs to sue for peace if he truly cares about his people. Russia offered simple, easy terms to settle. the West keeps egging him on with false promises, weapons, & cash. They cannot win, only kill more Ukrainians. Unless that’s actually the goal. 🤔
That is what the private charities and NGOs are for, albeit they have their problems with graft, corruption and influence peddling. Giving U.S. taxpayer money to these countries is not charity.
Defending Israel does provide a benefit to the American taxpayer. If you do not support democratic allies, then eventually the entire world will be against us.
Specifically define that benefit you speak of.
We owe no one anything!
America 🇺🇸 FIRST!
I must ask, what is your particular issue with defending the Jewish State?
Its literally just my own curiosity about your thoughts on this.
I understand America First. We agree on that.
Im seriously curious…….since most of your posts, are well said, and most of us agree with your thoughts.
What part of no foreign aid to anyone when we are Trillions in debt is hard to understand?
It is not directed solely at Israel.
And by the same token, why would you want to incur more debt for America for anyone when our borders are open, we are being invaded, our economy is contracting and Americans are losing jobs to illegal immigrants?
One cannot serve two masters. I choose America 🇺🇸 FIRST!
If you or anyone else wants to monetarily support any country other than the US, then by all means, send them your money. But don’t impose that obligation on the rest of us and the posterity of our country.
The Bible does say something about a fool being parted with his own money.
And you want to financially support someone else (anyone) when your own house is broke and in debt?
Supporting someone or supporting another country is a far cry from just feeding someone till you can teach them how to fish or plant food. If a warlord is stealing the food than you don’t double down on stupid and continue the same behavior. If we can’t even do this minuscule little task for a destitute person, how can we ask God for help on bigger issues? We can’t.
the counter argument is that Iran is a very dangerous nuclear state that has repeatedly called for this annihilation of the Jewish State.
I would gear up on the next flight out and help settle that crisis …and perhaps I will if the US can’t seem to get it’s shit together.
just a different view. Not trying to kick dirt up either way.
God Bless America
Israel doesn’t allow Palestinians vote. How is that Democratic? Arabs and Christians are 2nd class “residents”.
Palestinians, Arabs and Christians and even WOMEN vote in Israeli elections. Arab women have more rights in Israel than in any, so called, Arab country. Anyone who is an Israeli citizen can vote. Right now, 10% of the Knesset is an Arab Party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel#Government_and_politics
Many of the Arabs, Palestinians and Christians are denied Israeli citizenship!
Are they being denied Israeli citizenship because they do not qualify for some legitimate reason or is it because the J***s are denying it “just because”?
Um, have you surveyed the geopolitical landscape lately?
No, defending Israel, a very rich country, serves no identifiable US national security interests.
This argument can be applied everywhere.
…and it should!
They already are.
EXACTLY! Stop giving away USA assets. Better our country instead.
Black Knight always has a negative comment about Israel. Looks to me like he wants everyone there dead.
Better them than “us”. Seriously though…you don’t give grocery money to neighbor when your own family is starving.
“Better them than us!” Did Jesus say that at His Sermon On The Mount?
Iran is not our enemy. If Iran was an enemy would we have 12,000 Iranian students in our most prestigious universities, medical schools and colleges like Harvard, MIT, UPenn and Columbia right now?
It wouldn’t surprise me that they received scholarships, grants and student loans, either!!!
I have no war with Iran. If Israel cannot get along with it’s neighbours it’s not my problem. As long as we pay them for their aggression they will never stop!
Look at the pre-Obama numbers. How many are in good standing with the regime?
This is an idiotic schools driven affair, not some stamen’s on Iran.
…but they are here now ten years later! How can Iran be an enemy? LOL
My comments are related to foreign aid to ANY country and about promoting America First.
But the argument can be made that you promote Israel over the interests of anyone, including and especially America.
American taxpayers are tired of being the cash cow for everyone else. And going into debt for it to boot.
AMERICA 🇺🇸 FIRST!
I wish I could upvote that a thousand times. Amen, brother.
our support to Israel since 1948…$285 billions……way they did not notify USA about intention to bomb Iranian embassy…..it’s against 1961 VIENNA CONVENTION…….attack on Iran territory….
The IRG leader that the Israelis eliminated was located in the nearby Iranian Consulate not the embassy.
Oh, there’s the level of thoughtful dialogue expected of a Treeper!
Deflect and catastrophize.
Identify the alleged US national security interest, who don’t you?
“Deflect and Categorize” is the catch phrase of you, “Black Knight”, and “Maquis”. Whenever someone cleans your clock, it’s automatically “Deflection” or a “Psyop”.
Who appointed you three as hall monitors?
Welcome to moderation …..

Israel is NOT a poor country, and we’renot talking rice and beans.
We KNOW the Middle East is NOT some intractable Gordian Knot that can never be resolved (as it has been assiduously portrayed) because PDJT showed us the way.
And it was NOT by giving away the store to the biggest destabilising influence in the area (Iran) while undermining the only Democracy (Israel) and insisting on the fantasy of a “two state solution” while encouraging division between Israel and the Sunni Gulf States, and suppressing U.S. energy production.
Which is pretty much the failed policy pursued by the previous 40 years worth of admins.
IF we hadn’t had the 4 years of “Trump” this b.s. might “fly” as we would have no ‘compare/contrast’ to expose the CON that is “the (supposedly) INTRACTABLE and insoluble ME conflict.”
Reportedly, PDJT told his negotiating team “Look closely at what U.S. policy has been for the last 40 years, and do the OPPOSITE.”
A: How is Israel a democracy when millions of people there have no right to vote or hold office?
B: Many other ME countries are democracies. We just don’t like who they vote for!
ANY Israeli citizen can vote and hold office and plenty of Arabs, Palestinians and Women are Israeli citizens. You keep spreading this damnable lie. If you spent 2 minutes researching this you’d know.
Are you for America 🇺🇸 FIRST or Israel first?
Because, honestly, I can’t tell.
The Middle East is a Gordian Knot… for those individuals who would lose their positions/prestige/rice bowls if the riddle is ever solved.
Didn’t sound that way to me. I’m suspicious.
What an odd thing to say there arnie
Welcome to moderation…
I am Israeli. I remember your name and I remember that you are not a fan. It’s OK. The most liked people are dead!
I totally dig the “America First” concept. I actually agree that for Americans there should be “America First” like for Israelis should be “Israel First” and we are also taking a lot of sacrifice in blood and independance when we tie our destiny with people like Biden.
But you should know that a lot of the aide goes to developing the missile defense systems that proved yesterday a kill rate of 99% success against Intercontinental Ballistic Weapons. Specifically our Arrow 3 missile defense system and Arrow 2 and we have what is called David’s Sling and Iron Dome.
An attack like what took place yesterday on the US would have resulted in thousands of casualties. 110 Ballistic missiles, 36 Cruise missiles, 185 drones launched from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon.
And there were many many interceptions over Dimona City the home of the nuclear reactor. An attack on US reactors would have resulted in a nuclear disaster.
So you do want to invest in Israeli technology that is by the way a part of the exchange.
People usually are not aware of existential threats of long term. They are usually focused on short term threats.
So I dig the threat of open borders. It only takes a fraction of the American budget to seal the border. The problem is not financial. Is more of “the enemy from within”.
But realize that in a World War this Israeli technology may save your own life and your family, your nation and freedom.
If you think that a World War is far fetched then read history again. It’s not a matter of “if” but a matter of “when?”.
The US is not prepared for it.
By the way Iran so long as it doesn’t possess nukes is not a threat of a World War. They couldn’t even beat Iraq over decades of war and the US took over Iraq in a week. Their Air Force is old and can be wiped out in a day.
Your Main threat is China, following with either North Korea or Russia or the worst, all of them combined.
Take care, I stand with the Patriots of America!
Yes. America First for Americans! It should be obvious so it’s unfortunate that you even have to say it.
Thanks for recognizing America is and should be for America.
And you are incorrect about “not being a fan.” I am a fan – of America. All others are secondary to me.
I’m a former soldier and am well aware of our threats and what war encompasses and could bring.
You just might be surprised about how much I know about that sort of thing.
But, our (America) biggest threat is not China nor any other country you named.
Our biggest enemy is within and a LOT of us know that. It lies in DC and Langley.
The technology thing runs both ways.
The bottom line is, we don’t need to be involved anywhere; and left alone and unimpeded by political and financial considerations, can survive without anyone’s help or assistance.
Not so true for those we send aid to. For if they could survive without our help, why would they need or ask for our help??
Fair enough. I can agree that the biggest threat for America is internal.
Oddly enough it’s also true about Israel. The internal threat is the biggest and I could fill pages about it and how it relates to the present conflict.
And oddly enough our people who are messing things up internally in Israel and control the Courts, Education, Media, etc… are of exactly the same nature and ideology as your “internal enemy”. There is a connection of ideology and funds and it’s a powerful thing for them.
Remeber one thing: Historically Evil people tend to join together And tend to be well organized and financed while the good guys tend to be less organized. So evil wins many times in history. But eventually Good has the long term advantage because the human soul is good in its essence.
In practical terms I am saying, joint efforts of Patriots is a positive and is a force multiplier. Including internationally. I support you! Shalom.
Nice exit. And wise!
And smarter than the others who have preceeded you.
👁 (< never forget!!!!!)
I see everything and know "what's up."
Good luck. You will need it.
Thank you! Good luck you will need it too. Specially on elections day.
You just exposed yourself for anyone “who has eyes to see and ears to hear” of what you just stated.
AND, I suspected from Day ONE
You just confirmed for me that you are an Israeli IC asset – PSYOPS (your bragging of the Intel you have that none of the media here or there has; and that I personally caught you in a couple of times in the past) and are sending a message to me and those just like me who can read a coded message that Israel is involved with election interference here soon.
AND MOREOVER, you engaged me!!!! after my comment about foreign aid that was positively received by most, and then had known and suspected operatives stumped and then “suspended” (See above).
But, I’ve only barely and sparingly engaged you for months. NOTHING got past me. NOTHING!!!!!
Early October to you: Welcome to the Thunderdome!!!!!!!
👁
😎 😎 cool.
Thanks, for playing. Been fun!
You’re providing me great entertainment. LOL
When I said :”Good luck, you will need it too. Specially on Election Day”.
I meant that from my heart, I hope that Trump will win because it’s a tight race.
Election Day is critical for the future of the world. Not just the US.
Why would Israel want Trump to lose? He was the most pro Israel President in history.
He recognized Jerusalem. He recognized the Golan Heights, he caused the Abraham Accord.
He got rid of Sulemani. Everyone on the right in Israel wants Trump to win and we wish him “good luck”.
Did you know that Trump has more popularity in Israel than the US? In percentages.
Last that I knew it was second in the world after Philippines.
Sincerely I hope he will win. The DNC is a lot more hostile to Israel than the RNC.
I never ever claimed that I have Intel. LoL
I did mention that I have news from Israel that is not published in the US media.
For example yesterday Israeli media mentioned that we have a call in of Two reservists battalions to Gaza. This means that there is going to be a move in Gaza. This is not likely on US media. Another example: When 10/7 happened and a half way through the day the news said “100 dead”, the son of my sister in law told us that it’s around a 1000. He is in politics and knows many people at high levels. I am also on many Israeli Telegram channels that tend to be faster than the media. If it’s true it makes it to media.
Psyop? Are you kidding me? With the 20-30 people who follow me here who like Israel with or without me? What kind of a psyop is that? Did you notice that I was off the platform for many months until the War began and people here asked me to continue?
Israel interfering with the US Elections? Biden is the worst for Israel. How does it make sense to you?
I love Israel and I love the US. And I tend to represent Israel on this platform. I represent the right wing side of politics, I dislike Globalism and Communism.
But if you want to turn my friendly comments towards you to hostility then I will not engage with you unless I see lies about Israel. Like “election interference by Israel in the US”.
I know that you didn’t believe a word that I said so if you’re well intentioned then I wish you all the best. If you’re antisemite I wish you all the worst. Shalom. .
It seems that you upset BK, David. Very good 👍 . He needs to be brought down on occasion. Take note of his paranoia, everyone who responds to his comments that brings a well – thought out argument/explanation/reply is an agent of a foreign country. 😆
Black Sabbath “War Pigs”, from the 1970 live Paris concert
Music videos belong on the Open…
Once I realized that War, among all other unholy constructs, are simply profit models for those with no morals or regard for the sanctity of human life, it all made so much more sense.
“Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor”
Some call what TPTB are trying to impose, “Neo-Feudalism”.
I say “bring it on”, as in the days of Feudalism, the King led the army which was composed of Knights, as the peasants could not afford armor, war horses etc.
“Wait till the judgement day comes”
“… like witches at black masses…
Satan, laughing, spread his wings…”
Apropos
Since 1913…
At least since then.
An argument can be made for the time of Andrew Jackson or circa 1871 (DC Municipality)
The individual who laid the groundwork during the Jacksonian era was Old Hickory’s second VP (and subsequent 8th POTUS). Martin Van Buren and his Kinderhook, NY cronies formed the basis of the modern Democrat Party.
Their best song and that Paris concert is the best concert they ever did IMO.
They peaked early.
Yes. It is surely possible to be MAGA and be a fan of early Black Sabbath.
The 1970 Paris concert is a great piece of early 70’s metal from the time before Ozzy lost it to drugs.
The “war pigs” of the song might have been vietnam-era, but things haven’t changed much, have they?
I agree with all your points there. That concert was pure. They were not a huge name yet so it’s not only the drugs that haven’t taken hold but also the fame fueled bravado and having to top the last craziness with something more crazy.
Ozzy/Sabbath transcends politics……
Sen them 3 times, and 4 more by himself with his own band.
I find “Monster” by Steppenwolf a interesting song like “War Pigs”.
“Civil War” GnR
“ the best way to help Israel is for the House to quickly pass the Senate’s bipartisan national security supplemental next week,” Chuck Schumer said. ” Correct me if I’m mistaken but I thought all spending had to originate in the House. Or is this another case like exempting themselves from the clot shot ? “Screw you plebes, we’ll do as we damn well please.” To hell with Israel and Ukraine, there are plenty of ways to judiciously spend our tax dollars here at home. How about Palestine, Ohio and Hawaii for starters?
Chuck Schumer said. ” Correct me if I’m mistaken but I thought all spending had to originate in the House. Or is this another case like exempting themselves from the clot shot ?
No, you’re right.
He may have used the “shell bill” scam. Take any appropriations bill from the House, amend it to delete the text, amend again to insert Senate text, vote and return to House for vote on “amended” bill.
Californication at its finest. Their legislature wrote the playbook on this maneuver. Spit.
Pelosi perfected it.
The “Affordable” “Care” Act is one of the most memorable ones.
Thanks for the info, I was not aware of that. Sounds like bullshit they dreamed up.
This was the method used to get Obamacare passed.
Whubba: Chuckie wants his cut.
That’s the way it is supposed to work. I remember reading there was a supreme court case way back when that challenged the Senate initiating bills and the court basically said they didn’t care how the sausage was made because the bills had to be voted on by both chambers to get to the President’s desk.
My memory isnt the greatest but this was the gist of it. Maybe someone knows the case and can verify or correct me.
And anyway Schumer is wrong. This is not the best way to help Israel. The best way to help Israel is to NOT supporting Iran by sending them billions of dollars. Strangely enough to avoid that would have been good for the average US tax payer also. I guess Schumer just did’t think about that.
Exactly.
Beware “Bi-partisan” action from Congress, or any time they call for “Urgent” passage.
In fact, any activity by Congress is pretty much ALWAYS bad for the American people.
Just to put some figures on my post above:
NEVER FORGET: Joe Biden Gifted Iran with Over $80 Billion Since Entering the White House
Operation use up lots of Patriot air defense missiles to accelerate the defeat of Ukraine.
if the USA cannot produce enough Patriots our Pentagon will be unmasked as a paper tiger in high heels.
Not one Israeli was killed. And Nic forgot to advise that not only was Israel and US intersecting the missiles, but so was JORDAN.
And the RAF, and reports are the French were involved as well.
Saudis, too.
Oh, that’s interesting. Do you have any additional info on that? I know they said their airspace could be used to intercept what the Houthis shot off but I hadn’t seen anything about them actively participating in shoot downs.
Well, everything is information.
But . . . Amir Tsarfati is Israeli intelligence directed straight at the American evangelical church, IMHO.
Maybe they should have picked someone less handsome if they didn’t want a “tell”.
Evaluate everything he says in that light.
More fodder for the analysis mill.
You mean like Paul Newman?
By all indications – the ample advance notice; Iran’s statement that ‘this concludes the matter’ [of Israel’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus]; Biden’s prompt advice to Netanyahu, “You got a win. Take the win.” – this choreographed Iranian attack was a pre-negotiated political set piece, which met some needs of all of the parties involved.
It’s over. We could move on. But as Sundance points out, any pretext will do for the howling mob of Clowngress to treasonously send another hundred billion dollars to distant foreign client states, peopled by brightly-feathered alien tribes of whom we know nothing.
Although I will defer to the judgment of my Freedom Caucus House rep, I am now open to defenestrating the malleable Mikey Johnson, who seems to have gone over to the dark side.
No longer can I even tell the difference between Mikey Johnson and Mitt Romney. They hatched from the same RINO reptile egg, apparently. 🙁
Jim H: I agree, 100%. Last night’s fireworks show was pre-planned, orchestrated and synchronized geopolitical theater. And now, back to fundraising and electioneering.
Let’s try the silver lining.
The DS that controls Israel, Iran, Ukraine. and the US desperately needs two things right now.
First, it needs to hold off a complete collapse of its government in Ukraine.
(**Consider Russia just shifted its negotiating position to unconditional surrender)
That means it needs to Send More $$$$ to keep the bribes flowing.
Second, it needs to steal the US election.
That means it has to forestall a US financial collapse — ,particularly a stock market 1929 event — until at least November 15th.
What are the odds it can do both as “Biden” continues to throw student debt out the window, and as the Fed continues to run a huge deficit that directly negatively impacts the US Treasury?
Think about it.
Operation Warp Speed / Hunt for Red October. Steering directly into the torpedo before it can fully arm?
Got ’em between a rock and a hard place?
Be of good cheer. The fiat is the life blood of the beast. It must die.
As Maquis says,
Further I consider that the derp state must be destroyed.
Prescient
Alex, the Biden regime knew that Iran was going to launch a retaliatory attack on Israel. The mullahs informed the U.S. government of such action by using Turkey as the conduit. Joey wants to hang on to power for another 4 years, the mad mullahs have their internal problems so they need to show “strength”. Recall what took place in the Michigan Democrat primary election recently, a large percentage of votes were cast for “Uncommitted”. A good chunk of those votes came from Dearborn, probably home to the largest muslim enclave in America. Now, connect the dots. 😊
That’s an insult to reptile eggs! Have to agree with the sentiment though.
Manufactured chaos just like Ukraine/Russia war.
A few drones/missiles here and there for a daily photo op proves it.
Just a distraction for China taking Taiwan, get more government spending to ruin us, provoke more terrorism, bring in more great reset laws like digital ID/surveillance, and get rid of trump/Netanyahu somehow.
If Israel was serious they should have did something about Iran when trump was president. They didn’t so it seems they are part of the WEF all scamming us.
Israel wants the gaza oil fields and now benefits if the price of oil stays high. You can probably expect manufactured long term chaos in the Middle East now. High oil will drive more people into buying Chinas EVs and batteries too. Lol.
All planned.
Win/win for China/WEF.
Never forget that President Trump exposed Netanyahu refusing to take out Solameini.
Same big club, and they might take out pawns, but they don’t take out the inner circle.
Yup. It seems Netanyahu is part of the WEF/China club.
The problem I have is …. If true… why has Obama/Biden been undermining him? Acting like they want Netanyahu ousted as leader? That’s the part that throws me off.
Netanyahu has the Epstein kompromat on the democrats? Lol. Idk.
Netanyahu also criticized President Trump’s US ban on immigration from Muslim terrorist countries.
Can you imagine the nerve of that hypocrisy!
WEF has infiltrated and shows control uf U.S., EU, 5Eyes, etc. Governments, why would they NOT have infiltrated/control of Israeli Government?
“WEF” is shorthand for GLOBULUSTS, the new iteration of Marxist/Fascists, who have NO sense of LOYALTY to any Nation, and that includes Israelis, as much as U.S. leadership or EU leadership.
Hard to remember, but an important truth, IMHO.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Funny how those things happen.
The mind runs riot trying to figure out the permutations and combinations of game playing: scenario to ensure congressional funding of Ukraine together with Israel; set up excuse to attack Iran oil and nuclear facilities; plot by Russia and China to distract us from other attacks, i.e. Taiwan; setup for terrorist attacks in US; black swan event setup for election interference.
Not a good way to spend Sunday!
Attend a TLM. Much better way to spend time on a Sunday!
Could it all be fake , 🤔
Let’s send money ! Aka weapons 🙄🫣
Cannot tell which tail is wagging, but I am sick of these ridiculous wars.
Serendipitous timing indeed…
In the meantime, DoD Secretary has told Bibi he’s not to make a move without running it through Biden Inc. In response, Israeli strikes have been called off per The Israel Times.
Biden Inc is Israel’s enemy. No sooner than Israel notifies their intention to retaliate at whatever moment, the phone lines between DC and Tehran will be white hot.
Count on it.

In the meantime, this.
Methinks Lord Macmillan’s famous “Events”, those things which happen no matter what agenda has been set out, those things which are under nobody’s control, are playing a significant part in the unfolding chaos. All started by malevolent forces whose hubris will undo them…and take us all with them. DC in all it’s iterations has lost control.
All we can do is sit on the sidelines and watch day by day.
A pox on all their houses.
Another hollow posturing threat by Putin, who knows full well the US will not attack Iran directly when Israel only needs a wink of approval from us. And at this point, why attack them anyway? All Iran did, in the end, is provide a multi-billion dollar fireworks display over Israel at Iran’s expense. Thank you. Will there be another one soon? Perhaps a little advance notice so people can set up the bar and get the barbecue going to watch?
Iran provided a big show that it can use to save face with its own people. That’s all. Oh, and by the way, they were cruise missiles that Iran is now unable to sell to Russia for use against Ukraine. hmmmm
We just murdered his citizens at the Moscow Mall Concert.
Why? Why are we provoking a war with Russia? It’s madness by the Kagan Cult of Endless War Pigs.
For a century, it was our policy to keep Russia and China apart. Our Evil Empire has pushed them together in their Mad Dream of Empire.
The way to help Ukraine is the way to help everybody: get rid of these Puppet Regime Dictators and their Color Revolution Crime Spree forever.
The Kagan Cult has a century’s old religious Hatfield and McCoy grudge against Czar Nicholas and the Russian Orthodox Christian Church and they are willing to turn 300 Million Americans into nuclear embers to satisfy their hatred.
Look at it from his view point, trapper. Time always provides answers, information, and positions once away from the immediate chaos.
This government delivered (I think) $16 billion dollars to Iran in November last year. So we are funding their attacks on Israel, who we are also funding. Putin knows this. Heck, the whole world knows this.
So just as he plans for and executes his chess moves against the MIC in Ukraine, so do I believe he is doing with the tinder box which is the Middle East.
My guess is that he is toying with the powers in DC who think they have the upper hand, when, in fact, they have nothing of the sort.
As for denying Russia Iranian cruise missiles, all I can say is I’m sure there are work arounds. Always have been. See oil for that one. And see Macron buying Russian oil as fast as he can employ his workaround.
Always fun chatting with you, Bets.
My point was, Iran can’t sell missiles to Russia that have already blown up. And Iran knew full well they would virtually all be intercepted before they ever touched down in Israel. So, the only reason for them to launch in the first place would have been a big show to look tough to their own people. Go ahead. Launch some more. Burn through all that cash the Biden crew sent you. I have begun to try attributing adverse results more to incomptence and stupidity than malevolence, and it often makes much more sense.
Oh, and the only way one can view Putin as some brilliant 4D chess master is by refusing to see his gigantic area of weakness. He spread it all out in the Tucker Carlson interview without even knowing it. You know the agency that must not be named saw it. And you know darn well they are using it. Information is out there. You just have to let it in.
And pray@
Always 🙏🏻
I’ve been hoping that Israel had another Stuxnet-type computer virus to let loose. Take down the electrical grid, water treatment stations, a nuclear reactor, or something like that. It’s the sort of clandestine thing Israel could do without the US tipping off the Iranians (which, IIRC, Obama did to Israel once).
Something clandestine like that might not be traceable to Israel, too, although everyone would know where it came from. Israel could deny it and suggest Iran get some better computer virus protection.
My beloved mother in law used to advise, “You don’t have to tell everything you know.”
No, you do not.
See President Trump. Can you imagine what he knows? Can you imagine in turn what his enemies worry that he knows? Or if/when he ever spills?
Same applies to Israel.
Same applies to their enemies.
My bet is no one knows even a fraction of what they are capable of, to be deployed if worst comes to worst. Maybe even before that point is reached.
My long winded way of answering your comment…
Shorter version?

Zero is listening in, and he doesn’t want that!
Legalized theft of the American taxpayers and the daily peculation has sadly become the norm that nobody really questions it anymore. How sad. Foreign aid is just another scam the apathetic people have become numb to.
Are THEY all in on it? As in everything?
Sure seems like it.
One big pretense, one central global CBDC ledger, one world “government’…
Read the Book of Revelations.
It’s all there.
Bingo.
Except President Trump spent his first two years snipping puppet strings.
North Korea. Snip.
Saudi Arabia. Snip.
Once the DS lost control of Saudi Arabia, they faced a cascade. Like removing a card from the bottom of the house of cards . . . Give it long enough, it’s going to fall.
Civilizational Jenga – by Glenn Harlan Reynolds (substack.com):
Yes, THEY don’t want REAL Chaos, recall they thrive on CONTROL.
What they do, their midus operandi, is create the ILLUSION of Chaos, because under the illusion of chaos, they can manuever for still greater control.
During PDJT’s first term, he stop their creating of the illusions of chaos, and he established order and stability.
What’s the likelihood that Iran was just getting rid of some of its older, soon to be expired junk as a dry run on something bigger down the road? And as someone else here already noted, it further drains it’s enemy’s defensive supply.
The Best Little Whorehouse in DC strikes again.
Dancing the SIDE-step…
We support Israel to prevent an Israeli Genocide there. We support Ukraine to conduct a Cannon Fodder Genocide there.
No wonder they have to mix them. To hide the wicked behind the righteous.
Mark Steyn: “It’s a good basic axiom that if you take a quart of ice-cream and a quart of dog feces and mix ’em together the result will taste more like the latter than the former. That’s the problem with the U.N.”
And this bill.
They’re both wrong. Neither should receive American taxpayers hard earned $….neither!
What about the ice cream?
Respectfully, there ARE NO such “American taxpayer hard earned $’s” and I am not sure there ever HAS been.
There ARE digits, subtracted from your paycheck and theoretically going to “F.I C.A.” which is off into the ether, where you can’t access or spend them.
And, there is that whole refldiculous circus every year where you file taxes and try to claw back some of that $.
Seperately, the Fed Gov. “spends” Trillions of $’s, and just punches up more on computers, as needed.
And the one has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other.
Absolutely right. The followers of Putin do not want to genocide the Ukrainians, but the followers of Mohammad do want to genocide the Jews … … and then the Christians. All one has to do to understand this is just simply read their evil book and look at history.
Thousands of Christians live happily in Palestine and Gaza so I don’t know what you’re getting at?
No business of the US government, no responsibility of the American tax payer. Spend the money putting walls and razor wire on our border.
Last night’s fireworks show over the skies of the Middle East was a White House production, gamed out, planned, orchestrated for maximum political and fundraising benefit.
BREAKING: Iran Reportedly Claims Military Action Against Israel Has Concluded—Issues Harsh Warning to U.S and Israel
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/breaking-iran-reportedly-claims-military-action-against-israel/
Biden must have threatened to withhold the $80 billion in jizya payments to Iran.
They always manufacture a crisis to enrich themselves while screwing the peasants. We are bankrupt. Only our criminal government can counterfeit money and rack up debt endlessly and still keep getting away with it. The great pretending indeed. So depressing.
Today they bake, tomorrow they brew
Then all humanity in shariah and death they plan to stew
For still too few understand the deadly game
And fewer still will say it aloud, that simply Islam is the evil’s name!
Satan.
“The Western elites worship Satan.”
V. Putin
Fact check: True.

The whole set up in the ME is an Aramco / Bush family construct.
And MBS is, imho, a key white hat.
MBS a white hat? That surprises me.
Take a very close look at what happened in SA between August and October of 2017.
Take a look at the President Ttump sword dance, and what that signified.
Take a look at the Abraham Accords and how they came to fruition.
Yes, MBS is a white hat who overthrew CIA DS control of SA
Of course, he had help.
Jared Kushner, Erik Prince, and Blackwater, all on hand.
And yes, Las Vegas was intended to take him out. He was present.
It was a failed hit.
Also very interesting that he is rebuilding Saudi Arabia to take it away from an endless dependence on selling oil.
He is disengaging from the abusive relationships, seeking a more stable foundation for his nation’s well being.
I too view him favorably.
yes he is.
Iran had to do something or lose face in the Mideast. Israel not only took out several Iranian generals, but it knew that they would be in that building at that time. This indicates that Iranian security is lax, or they have a mole in their midst.
However, I would not put it past Biden to have signaled, “Ok to do something ‘limited’ now.” Biden said “Don’t,” which appears to translate into “Go ahead” in Farsi, and for that matter, in Russian, too.
So, when PDJT was in, he conducted an op to “take out” Solomeini, Israel knew about it and WAS “on board” until 24 hrs. before, when BiBi pulled out.
But now, with old Joes team of F-ups in, BiBi decides to conduct an op, to take out Iranian Generals, AT an Iranian embassy, ….?
Bingo. And escalate a response from Iran to try and draw the US into that BS directly.
Already has. Assisting with air defense. My fear is it will get worse with regards to direct participation.
Nic Robertson?
Was he the same ‘reporter’ gauging the sentiment on the street during Obama’s (who?) ‘arab spring’ ?
Same network anyway, so always consider the source.
Probably just another coincidence.
Trust God. Fear not.
Does the USA not have enough debt?
All the politicians want to do is borrow and spend like a drunken sailor.
Boot them all out.
It is expository how important Al Aqsa really is to Muslims – other than a stick to beat on Israel with, if they are willing to risk its destruction. Israel missed an opportunity to level that eyesore and blame Iran for it.
Al-Aqsa is built on the Temple Mount, on top of the remains of the Second Temple, so that may be why it was protected.
Turning Jewish and Christian houses of worship into mosques is part of their tradition. The Israelis have suspected the Arabs of excavating under the mosque and carrying off anything that might indicate an earlier Jewish presence in Jerusalem. Turning Jewish and Christian houses of worship into mosques is part of their tradition.
And that is germaine to the topic of foreign aid regarding this post to Ukraine and Israel how?
Big push, huh?
Ain’t buying.
2 of the 911 hijackers, CIA assets.
Bush and Cheney and Bandar Bush and Al Waleed helped the Bush Cheney crew give us the (anti) Patriot Act, by selling Muslim fear porn.
Fool me once . . .
Touche
Because foreign loans (not aid at all) to purchase US weapons defended it. That’s how. Please try to keep up.
Nice try.
if there is no wartime propaganda, can there be a war?
Apparently the Israelis air defence used up a billion dollars worth of resources.
You think they can keep that up?
pretty costly overnight fireworks-$ 1.3billions..
It appears we have a government staffed by humans bent on printing more money to engage in more war action for whatever their thought processes or motives are. I personally believe we will not change their hearts and minds about that.
So, what to do?
In election years, usually, it’s about the economy. Right now IMO they’re propping it up and lying about crucial indicators. We can’t do anything about that.
What can we do?
I’ve already made my choices but my mind is open to other options. Anything?
Based on what you’ve already done, you are in as good a shape as any out there.
Keep building the parallel economy.
Keep on keeping on.
IMHO
YMMV
Your on the right track,…prepare to aim for hearts and minds, and aim small, miss small.

Joe Biden green-lit attack on Israel.

If Iran really wanted to improve their chance to hit their target they would have used hypersonic missiles.
I am suprised that all the drones did not come together in the sky and make the shape of a giant $ dollar sign, as a light show. The show was advertised at least days in advance so everybody had a chance to get their tickets.
It’s basically an advertisement for US-built air defenses (which have proven to be less than great for Ukraine)
Yeah, let’s fund the nation that has been attacked by a nation that was given billions of dollars by present administration. While we’re at it, let’s also include the nation that has a hold on our government through bribery.
I am discussed and feedup with the Mike Johnson…all he is is a ball of bullshyt excuses and tripe.
Not one word he spews has meaning nor any leadership for Constitutional freedom loving citizens.
Johnson is worthless and a empty suit….not one thing more. He brings nothing to the table but hollow BS
And, recall ALL of the hype, around this whole session of CONgress, in order to understand what is meant by “Kabuki theater” and “Controlled Opposition” so that instead of only recognising it when you see it in your rear view mirror, you spot it in your windshield.
Understand that ALL of the “exposing” of Biden Incs. corruption, the “Weoponisation of Govt.” the J6 Republican hearings, and anything else as a result of House hearings conducted during this session, is expunged next session as if it never happened.
EVERYTHING we saw, was ACTING, it was scripted and choreographed, from Gaetz’s “9 days to select a Speaker” to MTG’s fights with Gaetz, ALL of it.
From a well respected financial markets guy:
What did this well respected dude THINK would happen?
Well respected in what? Tidybowl toilet cleaner?
And he goes out of his way to disavow support for PDJT. Sounds like he made several mistakes, not a person I want giving me advice, financial or otherwise.
Between Iran’s warnings “we are going to attack!!!” and Biden’s “Don’t!!”, I was thinking, is this how wars are fought now? All for show and talking. Talking Show Wars!
The lead up to Ukraine looked like this lunacy too. A pre-ordained dance.
That’s right! The tanks at the border.. “Russia will invade …. any day now!!”
Insane.
We are being manipulated. Our perceptions are guided by pure BS!
What China learned from Ukraine was that U.S. munitions could be used up at a rate that would not allow for replacement. Thus, the Houthis and Iran attacks are to worsen our munitions situation so that we cannot defend Tiawan. Clear as the nose on your face.
Arnie: Makes sense.
Presumable we learned too. I know PDJT learned more.
Why is he hiding?
Why is he hiding?
The drugs they use to juice him up to hide his dementia don’t work anymore?
He doesn’t WANT to address anyone. It’s a lot of work to get all dressed up and get some shots, comb the hairs put on good shoes etc.
They forgot to get his meds refilled
This is the same crew that wants war with Russia using America’s blood and treasure, of course
Why are they saying this now? This is so absurd on so many levels.
I am so suspicious and cynical of U.S. leadership that it would not surprise me at all if we found out that Biden gave Iran permission to strike Israel in order to get more money from Congress.
There is something extremely nefarious going on behind the scenes, of that I am sure.
sync: You are not being suspicious. You are simply paying attention.
Well,…yeah.
There is no way Iran “launches” such an “attack” without clearing it with all parties, first.
A 9 hour warning…Hey, the missiles are on the way!
And for the record, screw each and every one of them.
..funny..but those EU clowns not going stop elensky after 500,000+ deaths of ukr.troops…… swine
Weak, duplicitous .. POS critter cannot become president is still on my plate
Biden won’t support an Israeli counterattack against Iran – urging Netanyahu to ‘Take the Win’.
Whatever Biden says, the danger is a real apocalyptic war, in this duplicitous position of defending Israel while simultaneously releasing billions of dollars of blocked funds to Iran a mere month before the attack.
Next – Biden said he will meet with allies on Sunday to consider what to do.
Biden said he will meet with G7 nations to craft a unified response, according to Reuters.

That’s rich. Who’s going as JoBama?
Seems like an International ” wag the dog” operation.
Iran even announced the drones were fired at Israel with a nine hour travel time to arrive there!
It was all for show, folks. An elaborate setup (bombing the embassy), followed by a half hearted “retaliation”.
“Spin up the money printers and the missile makers, we’re back in business, boys!”
War profiteering has been taken to a whole new level.
I’ve been wondering if the drone attack wasn’t a feint disguising something worse.
Well, Reagan “the Gipper” aka “Dutch” is a big winner from this as he and all who advocated for Strategic Missile Defence (and were ridiculed for it) are vindicated.
Beyond that, this feels as scripted, and as intentionally manipulated as the Oct. 7 attack, and I just ain’t buying it, any more than the earlier Ukraine manipulation.
Chess game or pretend exercise?
Israel said it has an opportunity to form a strategic alliance after Iran’s drone and missile attacks were repelled.
Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant said: 2 hours ago
“We have an opportunity to establish a strategic alliance against this grave threat by Iran which is threatening to mount nuclear explosives on these missiles, which could be an extremely grave threat.”
