Ready for WAR, time for congress to decide.

 TRUMP SHOULD DEMAND CONGRESS DECIDES

MAKE THEM VOTE



It seems the U.S. is now positioned to go to war with Iran. President Trump has indicated that it his decision, but constitutionally it is not, it is solely a decision to be made by congress. This should require several days of debate, with testimony from witnesses, They can even bring in some foreigners, like Netanyahu to make the case.

War needs a simple majority in both the House and Senate, but I would demand a 60% vote in the Senate, I think if 60% is required to pass spending bills, it should be required to engage in the biggest war since WW2. 

Trump should defer from making a recommendation, He should let the congress decide. Those advocating for war can be led by blood lusting psychopath Lindsey Graham, I am sure he would just love that job. 

Advocates and those opposed should have several days to call witness's to give their input, then a vote in the House and if passed then send it to the Senate to have a similar debate. That is the correct way to force the nation into a pivotal war that may have lasting consequences for all the citizens. It is their responsibility and it is high time they start to taking that responsibility, that they all seem to want when they decide to be representatives and senators. 

If it it approved, then it should be left to President to decide when such action should be taken or he could  veto their decision, it would then require a 2/3 vote to override, that is the right way to do this.

Trade wars and military action will never restore America.

 AMERICAS DECLINE IS ROOTED IN DEBT AND LOSS OF MANUFACTURING CAPACITY

THREATS AND FORCE ARE NOT THE REMEDY


While the country is in the verge of war, again, in the middle east, with a country that is not a real threat to the United States, but will cost the country billions in resources, no matter the outcome. Winning will not make us safer or more prosperous, but just add to the debt and loss of credibility in the world. 

For many years the United States has engaged in war, economic and military in an effort to sustain its global dominance. That dominance was earned post WW2 when the country was the number 1 producer of goods, the greatest manufacturing country and a dollar that was considered "As good as Gold" Sadly that is no longer the case. Its seems the policy for the last few decades is, that if we can contain, hamper or limit the success of our competitors we can sustain our dominance. It is a delusional and destined to fail policy.

While the  unrestrained rush to globalism has contributed to the problem, it cannot be remedied by attempting to limit others by denying them access either to the U.S. market or U.S. products. One example is that while China has become a dominant producer in certain areas it was willing to buy products from the U.S. that they did not have to expend resources to develop and it helped to limit the growing balance of trade deficit for the U.S., one was computer chips and also grain. Our genius policy makers decided that we should limit our sales to China of products that would assist in their development, the very products that helped us stay competitive at least in some areas. The most obvious was computer chips, which was a massive export by us to China, so we limited those sales in an effort to slow China down and they responded by establishing their own chip manufacturing and out produced and out sold our businesses, which then had less resources to keep up their dominance in that field. Our answer was for the government to subsidize those business's to keep them competitive.  More debt and dependence on government will most likely not keep them competitive. This will also add to the lose of our manufacturing base. Grain sales were replaced by other countries not engaged in containment policies.

China has the financial resources to focus and become competitive and even dominate in any field that they desire. The U.S. has near $39 trillion in resources tied up in debt that has financed prior spending. Until this situation is addressed, the U.S. will continue on a path of decline.

Then there is another group of geniuses who believe we can intimidate the rest of world to submit to our mandates, accept out debased currency, due to deficit spending, as payment, all under the threat of sanctions and military force. While we may have the most advanced and powerful military in the world, we should be seeing that it may be a hollow giant. How is it that insignificant Russia, "a gas station posing as a county" has been able to sustain and even out produce the whole of NATO in conventional weapons. Yet, we see the Defense budget increased and now hoping to increase it by 50% , without anyone asking the question, where is all the money going? A huge expenditure for a sector now considered "too big to Audit", sounds like a very similar excuse for excusing corruption.

U.S. stockpiles are admitted to be very depleted due to massive outlays of ordinance and equipment to Ukraine and Israel. While all this assistance may help the defense sector to be prosperous, will help most Americans? How dependent are we for vital material from the same countries we are trying to contain? Can the U.S. sustain a prolonged conflict without running out of ordinance?  A conflict that endures for months or years rather days? Can we replace ships and expensive equipment? I suspect that real military analysts are asking those questions, but are they being drowned out by donor paid for politicians.

I suspect that many of these questions will be answered in the near future.

We can expect confrontation on the high seas.

 DO U.S. ORDERS TRANSLATE INTO INTERNATIONAL LAW?

LOOKING FOR THE DEFINNG MOMENT FOR WW3


One must wonder were the limits are to the U.S. control of the commerce of the world?   We all understand that the U.S. has the right to refuse to do business with anyone they don't approve. We understand that tariffs can be placed on anyone that the U.S. feels it wants to punish. Now it seems if countries just find other customers or trading partners we believe we can also damage their trading partners through tariff's and other economic warfare, that is possible, but should expect economic retaliation. 

Now since the use of an embargo or blockade of Venezuela and Cuba,  of course under the pretext of obeying international law, that now seems to be manufactured unilaterally by the U.S., we are seeing an attempt to expand the use of blockades and embargos around the world. No one questions that he U.S. has the most powerful Navy in the world. So far, no one has challenged this Navy since WW2. If the U.S believes that it can blockade advanced powers on the world stage without pushback, it has indeed gone down the path of delusional overreach.

It appears that the only nation that is willing to go down the path of WW3 is the United States. We will undoubtedly see either armed commercial vessels that will challenge being taken control of or escorted vessels in the near future. It is very likely that there will very well be an organized effort to preserve the right of navigation around the world. If this attempt to control commerce around the world continues there will be a confrontation in the near future. A confrontation that may be impetus to finally move this economic warfare to the real deal. 

The danger is growing by the day and when you put others in a existential threatening position, war will soon follow.

There will be war, Just a question of who will start it.

 UNREALISTIC NEGOTIATIONS AND OIL EMBARGOS 

ACTS OF WAR, NOW EVERYDAY OCCURANCE



The most likely beginning of the next war is Iran. Indications are that Iran is willing to insure against obtaining nuclear weapons, but Israel has demanded that they must give up all nuclear energy enrichment and also their missile deterrent. While Trump at one time had an agreement with Iran on Nuclear weapons, that was rejected by Israel. It is reported that Trump was told by Netanyahu that either Trump destroys Iran's missile program or they will do it, and that the U.S. will then be forced by public opinion to join in. Under those conditions war is inevitable, Iran can never agree to disarm, especially at the instance of Israel. 

At the same time we have the increasing situation of the U.S. deciding to interfere in oil shipment worldwide. Besides the embargo on Venezuela oil, only to be sold to those approved by the U.S., they have begun to attempt to interfere with oil shipment out of Iran. This is likely to hamper Iran's monetary situation and also put pressure on China economically. These are now all act of WAR, which will inevitably lead to catastrophic results. Not only war with Iran, but China may also feel that interfering with their oil supplies is intolerable. There have also been attacks on Russian oil shipments in many places, some contend that it is a CIA operation.

Objectively, one must wonder why Iran has not yet initiated this war as it now seems inevitable and time is allowing more resources to become available against them, unless they feel time is on their side to prepare for this conflict and world public opinion will be unfavorable to the initiator.

At the same time, one must wonder how long Russia and China will allow interference of their vital commerce in international waters, both have substantial and effective submarine fleets capable of causing significant damage.

Some speculate that taking of Venezuela oil was a first step in preparation for a wide-ranging middle east war that will replace oil from that region. A wide-ranging middle east war will likely spread to a world war, with Russia and China realizing there is no plan for co-existence, only submission. It could be expected that every power in the middle east would quickly need to take sides and be involved, It would be a very unpredictable gamble as to where they would ally. 

It appears that he next few weeks may be a time of decision. Only a backdown by someone can now stop the rush to war. A backdown that is impossible for some and will have severe consequences for others.

The Epstein affair, reinforcing belief in deep state.

 BANKS TOO BIG TO FAIL, ELITE TOO BIG TO BE EXPOSED



The message is clear, there is a two tier system, where the elite movers and shakers are beyond the same rules as the average peasant.  I suppose that is one reason why all these important people flocked to the likes of Jeffery Epstein, so that they could qualify for this insulated status and set them on the road to prosperity and success. Lets face it, these people who willfully entangled themselves with Epstein are not victims, they are collaborators.

How Epstein amassed this power, or who he represented, may never be revealed, but it is clear that the "conspiracy theory" of a deep state has been clearly been revealed to be true.  

It explains why every president, regardless of party, adopts the same foreign policy of death destruction and chaos voiced by Epstein in some emails. Trump has been the only presidential candidate that voiced the policy of changing that direction, yet we witness daily the pressure and attempts to insure he does not stray from policies of the past. Policies that have set the country on a path of economic and political destruction. One must suspect that either he has been compromised or he will be eliminated if he doesn't produce the results envisioned by those who really run this country. I suspect that many of these coconspirators with Epstein are still active and powerfully moving their agenda. 

Some still have hope, that all this is still slowly being revealed and ultimately it will all come to light. Some still believe that a change of political parties in power will set the country on the road to renewal. Both parties, ultimately are controlled by those same people or organizations.   It seems they play a tag team with domestic policy, but in big issues they all are identical.

Nothing will change until this power structure is destroyed and leaders truly represent the citizens, rather than powers in high places.

Time for U.S. to focus on the Homeland.

 A STRONG AND UNITED HOME, CRITICAL FOR SUCCESS

POLICING THE WORLD, WHILE THE HOUSE BURNS DOWN


It has been a pattern for U.S. presidents that they invariably get bogged down in interventions and entanglements in many diverse places, while the domestic situation disintegrates. For decades this country has allowed its manufacturing base to deteriorate, its fiscal situation become unsustainable and has continued to focus on managing the rest of the world. A world, for the most part that seems to be managing itself more successfully, often in spite of U.S. interventions. 

With a debt near $39 trillion, often as result of these interventions and meddling, a manufacturing sector that is now only 10% of GDP, 750 military bases around the world and a proposed increase in the military budget of 50% to $1.5 trillion. A deficit that is 26% of the 2026 budget. That translates that over 1/4 of the spending this year will be financed by borrowing. Yet if you listen to the debates in congress it is mostly about how much more money we need to spend to protect the U.S. from all those adversaries plotting our destruction. We do not need any adversaries, we are furthering out destruction very well on our own.

It seems some believe we can make our situation better by attempting to weaken or destroy our adversaries whether economic or political. Is prosperity now a relative thing, as long as others are worse off, we are better off. That mentality is not how America became a great nation. Do we need to break the leg of our opponents in the hope of winning the economic race. Everyone will end up poorer.

There was hope of focusing on the western hemisphere as a region of mutual prosperity, were all would cooperate in an effort for mutual betterment, that hope has morphed into some perverted effort at neo colonialism, were the U.S. will prosper at the expense of its neighbors by military force if necessary. A losing proposition, all will become poorer and will demonstrate to the rest of the world that doing business with China and others is more in their interest. Much of the rest of the world does have a vision of mutual prosperity, not, lets knock everyone else
down so we will look prosperous.

Then there is the effort to force the continued use of the dollar as the reserve currency. An insane effort, the dollar became the reserve currency because it was considered "as good as gold", which is no longer the case. Indications are, and the word takes notice, there is no effort in congress or the executive to resuscitate the dollar from it imminent death, just a lot of threats and innovative financial schemes.

It is becoming more obvious by the day that the country is torn in many directions by those who want to sow death, destruction and chaos in the hope of reaping  some perverted profit. Are we now focusing our manufacturing on producing arms in the hope that they can all ultimately go up in flames and require more of the same. Is that what this country has become?

If this country is to survive there needs to be national reevaluation, how can we get our house in order? How can we again be a example to the rest of the world? An example in a positive image, rather than what no one should want to become.

Peace negotiations will have no result.

THERE IS NO CREDIBILITY LEFT

ALL ABOUT HOPING FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE


We were all in anticipation that a new administration would have a point of view that could make for serious changes in U.S. foreign policy. After one year, we now see that no new policies are possible in U.S. foreign policy. What is possible is that U.S. foreign policy will only change when it can no longer function economically and even militarily. That time is coming and it is understood by those on the other side of these negotiations, better than the American people.

U.S. foreign policy has not changed in any way, it is till the belief that the U.S. is the center of world and everything needs to revolve around its interests. Negotiations are only used when it is hoped to either deceive the other party or gain time to pursue other paths to supremacy. 

The latest is the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States. Only a agreement that would end the sovereignty of Iran and allow them to be disarmed would be acceptable. What is desired is what has been know as the Libyan or Ghadaffy plan. Promise that all one has to do to be an acceptable member of world society is give up your weapons and all will be well, then proceed to destroy the country and leave it in a state of chaos and destruction. It seems the world is now wise to this scheme and no longer bites at this ruse. Much of the world has already understood that western non government agencies, all mostly CIA fronts, intent on creating division and chaos from the inside. The only reason war has not begun is that Iran has acquired enough defensive missiles to make war very costly both to the United States and Israel. If those missiles are eliminated or easily protected from, war would ensue quickly. It has also become a practice in negotiations with the U.S. that one can expect attempts at assassinations of negotiators and leaders while negotiations are on going. That has happened in both negotiations with Iran and Russia. The world has witnessed these practices and now understand the situation.

Middle east countries many who have been allies of the United States now understand that if Iran falls they may be next on the menu. Concerns are now being floated that Saudi Arabia may have nuclear weapons and that Turkey could be a threat to Israel. It is reported that talks are beginning between these countries of a unified defensive origination, similar to NATO. A natural result of the endless conflict in the region.

While I expect that most Americans believe that all is fair in war and conflict, it will in the long run fully destroy any trust that is the basis for any meaningful negotiations, whether political or economic.

While many in Washington believe that they can prevail in global relations, the other side understands that they do not have to defeat the U.S. militarily, they just need to run out the clock and the country will continue to self destruct economically, and eventually militarily. The U.S. has expended itself on attempting to rule the world and will continue to do so until it no longer can.

Lots of Epstein dialogue, but no revelations.

 NOT ONE INSIDER HAS DARED TO SPILL THE BEANS

IT APPEARS THE POWER BEHIND EPSTEIN IS STILL POWERFUL


We continuously hear debates and email snippets about what was going on with Epstein's empire of global elite leaders. We understand that most all the leaders in politics, science and finance had connections with Epstein. Most of the scrutiny is focused on young women and sex, but little is focused on what was this empire and what was its purpose?. Many assume blackmail, but not one person, in all these years has admitted to being compromised by Epstein. While we hear of accusations of rape etc., it seems that the victims consented to what was going on. While we hear much about under age, I have yet to see a list of the ages of these victims, of course without their identities. 

There are strong indications that Epstein and Maxwell had connections to numerous intelligence organizations, mostly Mossad and Mi6, it can only be assumed that the CIA and FBI knew what was going on with Epstein.

What is becoming obvious is that all the participants were willing and enthusiastic participants and not one has ever yet conveyed their personnel experiences and interactions with this elite Club. What did they gain by this networking? Why were they there? We are being distracted by the allegations that all this was about sex, I suspect that the powers behind Epstein still retain that power and most likely the networking is still going on, but much more descreatly.

We have yet to hear from the technicians who operated all the video and audio equipment.  It seems the only testimony is by women who were used as entertainment for these meetings. No one, as far as I have heard, has revealed what  these meetings were about and of course who financed all this.  Then we hear the feeble attempt to claim it was financed by Russian intelligence, another weak attempt at discraction. 

I suspect that we are being entertained by a dog and pony show about sex, always something that will captivate the interest of the masses. I doubt that there any serious attempts, even by those who claim to be the maverick investigators, to ever reveal what was and still is the workings of this elite club of global leaders.

Bibi's coming, Will it now be war?

BIBI'S VISITS USUALLY PRECEDE VIOLENT ACTION 

IS HE COMING TO ENCOURAGE OR FOR SAFETY?



Bibi Netanyahu is coming to Washington tomorrow, his appearance in Washington usually indicates that some sort of violent action in about to transpire in the middle east. One must wonder why a phone call would not suffice or other secure communications, always a personal appearance.  Is Trump recording all these private meetings for posterity? never a leak of these meetings.

Some speculate that Bibi is concerned that Trump is going to make a deal with Iran concerning nuclear enrichment that allows them electric generation or other peaceful enrichment, but promises of no nuclear weapons. This has been the narrative for decades, "no nuclear weapons for Iran". It has been the enduring litany that Iran is within days of having nuclear weapons and if they obtain them they will immediately eradicate Israel and then the United States. After all, Iranians are by nature religious fanatics that need to be marginalized or even eradicated if possible. There is lots of evidence that Iran discontinued their weapons program in 2003, primarily because their wacko religious leader believes nuclear weapons are immoral, astonishing that any leader in todays world would believe that anything is immoral.

In their first negotiations the goal was to guarantee no nuclear weapons, but allowed for the enrichment for electric power and other uses, Iran agreed, but Bibi nixed the plan insisting that Iran could not engage in any nuclear enrichment, which everyone understood was impossible for Iran to accept. Then after Israel attacked Iran in June 2025 and assassinated their scientists and political leaders, Iran had the audacity to inflict serious damage on Israel with missile attacks. That has now caused Bibi to insist that Iran cannot have a conventional missile program either. It is not acceptable that a nation of 90 million should have any deterrence against a nation of 9 million. 

So, tomorrow we will see what's up, Trump has been reluctant to engage in war with Iran, mostly for practical reasons that U.S. forces will likely suffer some casualties or even many casualties, Israel will be hit hard with a missile response from Iran, that will encourage escalation and the world oil supply will be effected causing a world economic crisis. So far, Trump has evaded this war against pressur from the cheer leaders for war in the Senate, and Israel, who believe in the invincibility of U.S. and Israeli military power, a theory that will be tested if war ensues.

Then again the decision for war may have already been made and Bibi is just here to join his family in safety until their theories are tested.

NFL can't help being political.

 SPANISH HALF TIME SHOW

IS THE NFL NOW AN INTERNATIONAL SPORT?



Until last night, like many of the entertainers on Super Bowl half time shows, I never heard of Bad Bunny.  One has to wonder what is going on with the organizers of these half time shows, or their sponsors, they just cant help using these shows to make political statements.

First off, it seemed the whole show was in Spanish, without any appropriate translation at the bottom. I guess if you are not Spanish speaking this show was not aimed at you. Do they really think that they made a positive effect on any dialogue about immigration or was it just an opportunity to stick a thumb in the eye of non Spanish speaking watchers, who I assume was the vast majority. Was this all about attempting to provoke Trump, is that what the Super Bowl is now about? 

It also appeared that the majority of adds featured non white actors. In fact many had no white actors at all. Is the viewership of the super bowl no made up of a majority of nonwhites? Does this really aid in inclusion or encourage division?

So, it does prove that WOKE politics is not dead and much of the major media is still in some sort of a biased anti-American mind set. A mind set that believes that the world has a new home in America, if they choose, with all the privileges of citizenship, but requires citizens to provide the funding or assume the debt required to sustain all these inhabitants. They have a dream of a world without borders, without rules or consequences, as long as someone else is paying. It might be good idea for citizens to take note of these advertisers and scrub them from the list of products or services they purchase. 

I suspect this type of messaging will not have a positive effect on any dialogue about immigration, it just reinforces the need for escalated enforcement of immigration law.

What is the plan for Cuba?

 IF YOU BREAK IT, YOU WILL NEED TO FIX IT

LIKELY TO BE A U.S. DEPENDENT


It is seems there is much anticipation of the end of present Cuban government. The embargo surrounding Cuba has left the island without reliable electric and even a scarcity of food. Proponents believe that the present government cannot last much longer. One has to ask the questions, how is this going to be accomplished and who is going to take over politically in Cuba?

I don't see a viable opposition political movement ready to step in, if the present government falls. I doubt that the population of real Cubans, that is the Cubans who live there now and have lived under the present system, are the same culturally as the Cubans of pre 1960. They have been born and raised under a socialist dictatorship and culturally are far removed from their ancestors in Miami. I suspect very few pre-1960 Cubans are still alive. 

I recall in 1959 listening to my radio as I went to bed of Castro marching into Havana and Batista fleeing to the Dominican republic and then to Spain. I also recall the rejoicing in the U.S. with parades of excitement in New York city. Of course I have no idea what was behind the rise of Castro, one must believe that the CIA knew who Castro was and likely supported his revolution. They has already engineered regime changes in Guatemala and Iran. One has to wonder where they played by Castro or did their agreement go bad.

After 66 years of the present government, which seems to be much more laid back than under the original revolutionaries, the island, from watching travel documentaries, appears to be run down in every way and the population seems also to be very laid back, living the life hoped for by many U.S. socialists. One has to wonder if these real Cubans really want to be saved by the U.S. 

Saving Cuba, of course has been a dream for many U.S. politicians and former Cubans whose ancestors once lived there. Most of the Miami Cubans have never set foot in Cuba.

Again, the question is, who is going to run Cuba in the future? Will it be real Cubans or transplants from Miami? What will happen if Cubans receive the right to vote and then vote for people not acceptable to the U.S. government? Will it be back to sanctions and threats? Do the Cubans of today want their island to be filled with Casinos and resorts or offshore investment havens? Maybe they do, I really have no idea, but has anyone asked them?

No matter what, Cuba has no oil, just sugar and Cigars, both out of favor in the 21st century. Cuba is going to need billions of investment in infrastructure without the means to provide that, so it will be the responsibility of the U.S. to provide that investment, probably for decades. Cuba has primarily been dependent on the Soviet Union and then Venezuela, so it may be the U.S. turn to take over that responsibility. After all, we are the richest country in the world, and saving the Cubans is worth the cost.

Last nuclear limitation treaty expires.

 ARE THESE DECISIONS BASED ON FALSE ASSUMPTIONS?

NO LIMITS, NO TRANSPARENCY, COLD WAR 2



Yesterday, the strategic nuclear arms treaty expired, it had been in place since 1991. Originally this treaty limited Nuclear warheads to 6000, then reduced them to 1550 in 2010. It was the last remaining treaty that came about after the breakup of the Soviet Union, All the treaties were ended by the United States.

Trump ended the intermediate range arms treaty in his first term. It was ended, with the advise of John Bolton in the supposed hope of eventually including China in the treaty. Other treaties that have expired is one that limited conventional arms in Europe and one that allowed open flights over each others territory to insure compliance.

Putin has proposed several time that Russia was willing to extend the current treaty for 1 year. His proposals were never responded to by Trump or any of his administration.  

There are indications that this administration is being advised that a new cold war will force Russia into economic problems by not being able to compete in an arms race with the United States. This philosophy is based on the prevailing narrative that the Soviet Union collapsed because it could not keep up with arms spending by the United States, ironically the nation with a $39 trillion debt and a marginal manufacturing base. Of course, a new arms race will be very profitable for those who live by war, death and destruction.

Policies based on false intelligence and false assumptions which usually fail can also be very destructive. In this case it sends the message to the world, that it can expect little efforts at real peace treaties, and only that prevailing in military power will disputes be settled. 

The assumption that military spending brought about the end of the Soviet Union rather than a realization by the leaders of that country that Communism or Socialism was a dead end street and made the appropriate but painful effort to change their economic and political polices. An example that would serve most western nations well, as they flounder in an attempt to preserve their former status.

Looks like ICE is preparing for eastern Pa.

 WILL LARGE TASKFORCE SOON BE ACTIVE IN EASTEN PA.

SEVERAL NEW FACILITES TO AID IN DEPORTATION



ICE must be planning on upping the anti on immigration enforcement in Eastern Pa. The new facility they just purchased in Berks county can only be used when a enhanced presence comes to eastern Pa. It could be expected that this facility could also be used for processing migrants from New Jersey and New York. 

At present it seems most ICE activities have been in the Midwest and West coast, a least by large numbers of  organized forces. While ICE activities are ongoing all over the country, including in eastern Pa., it does appear that large organized efforts are in the process of moving to specific areas and then when all the low hanging or easy to find suspects are rounded up, then moving on to other high priority places. 

While many believe that bad publicity and high profile incidents will slow enforcement, that probably is not the case. As time goes on and policies are perfected we can assume that they have a long list of potential places for high propriety focus. It seems they are taking particular interest in voter roles as a means of choosing those priorities. We can assume there are also other ways of them prioritizing their efforts.

In Pa. most of the law enforcement agencies have good communications with ICE and alert them when they apprehend illegal migrants. We can assume that ICE task forces will soon identify were that is not case and make their decisions accordingly.
Areas with political obstruction may be the places that they feel a task force approach is needed.

It may be the case that areas were politicians make the most effort to protect illegal migrants will be placed on the priority list for high profile task force enforcement. They may be better served to at least give the appearance of cooperation rather than making transparent challenges.

Are Epstein files now becoming another propaganda tool.

 DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE THAT EPSTEIN WAS FINANCED BY RUSSIA?

INTENTIONALLY DISCREDITING EVERYTHING


The latest headline on Drudge report is that Epstein was financed by the KGB. Drudge once a source of valid revelations has long been just another purveyor of disinformation. Their latest attempt to shift the power behind Epstein to Russia and the KGB, an organization that hasn't existed since 1991, when it was disbanded, is as outrageous and simply a desperate attempt to hide and shift the attention away from what is now common knowledge. Epstein was an agent for Mossad and likely British intelligence.

This ham fisted attempt is likely to now put into question the validity of much that will now be released or is it being manufactured in present time. Can we soon be told that Iran, China and Venezuela are also coconspirators in the Epstein saga. I suppose many would feel better if that was the case.

The KGB was disbanded in 1991 after organizing a coup in Moscow, it was replaced by the FSB in 1995 after a thorough cleansing, something that it appears needs to be done in most of the western intelligence agencies. It seems their function is no longer to provide real time intelligence of leadership to make informed decisions but to assist in an agenda either self promoted or orchestrated by others.

Epstein had contacts with every nation, and may have contacts in Russia, but common sense tells us in that time period Russia was in the process of survival and renewal and hardly had the resources to support honey pot schemes in the western world, especially with operatives that had obvious ties to Israeli and British intelligence.

One possibility is that many Russian children were adopted by westerners in that time period and some may have seen this as an opportunity to acquire unfortunate children for their devious purposes. That is a very real possibility that should be investigated.

Can Trump wiggle out of war with Iran.

 CHOICE BETWEEN APPEARING WEAK AND ECONOMIC CRISIS

WILL IRAN GIVE HIM AN EXIT?


As days go by it appears that Trump is looking for an off ramp concerning the so called imminent attack on Iran. One must wonder why he believed that Iran would cave on the Israeli demands that they give up all nuclear enrichment, even for peaceful electric generation and essentially disarm.

We can expect that he is being told by Mossad and U.S. intelligence that Iran is ready to collapse at any moment and a little shove is all that is needed. At the same time, Israel is claiming that they will not be a part of any attack on Iran, hoping that they will be spared in the expected retaliation by Iran. The same goes for all the gulf countries claiming they will not allow their bases and airspace to participate in any attack. Operatives in U.S. media claim that Iran is weak and has no ability to harm anyone with retaliation. Trump is now in a no win situation, exactly were several different factions want him. 

It seems Iran is ready to engage in a standoff, and there is little room for negotiations to satisfy the demands of the U.S. and Israel. It will either be a back down by Trump or regional war with all the consequences. A win, win, for Trump's domestic enemies. A back down will unleash many forces to remove him from office, both domestic and from Israel.

The other possibility is that Trump may believe he can use this Armada to embargo oil shipped out of Iran, this would further damage Iran's economy and also cause pain for China. It is unlikely such an attempt to blockade Iran will not result in military conflict, not only with Iran but those who buy Iranian oil. It would also cause escalation with economic reprisals from China. We should expect to see a further sell off of U.S. debt by most foreign holders of that debt. 

We have also watched as China inked a trade deal with Canada and the UK and some expect soon with Mexico that will allow Chinese autoes to soon be readily available in North America. These autos will take market share from U.S. auto's.

The attempt to enforce U.S. sanctions and economic threats will inevitably lead to war or an understanding that the world is changing and the U.S. needs to adapt and manage those changes  in a cooperative and peaceful manner.
