"Because this is what western elites hate about Iran above anything else. They hate that it is not captured, that it is not a vassal state, that it does object. Western leaders hate Iran because it stands up to Israel and western imperialists. This is, quite literally, the only reason for this war. Don’t let the bullshit about freedom and democracy fool you. Iran is an obstacle to Israeli-western hegemony, and it needs to be removed."
Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, not wanting to be outdone by Canada’s Mark Carney, also epitomises the crossroads of western narcissism and imperialism/capitalism. His ‘lookaway’ pragmatism is damning. Albanese has, without permission, surrendered Australian’s values by signing up to a ‘go all the way with the USA’ agenda. Our nation has stood by and let Albanese send weapons of war (Wedgetail spy planes) to the middle-east to stay in the ‘good books’ of a rapist. I have no words….well ok, maybe just a few.
And in a pandemic of viral global cowardice, the world’s western leaders have decided to join the examples set by Albanese and Carney. They are choosing to support the wet dream of middle-eastern hegemony, which has fully germinated in the mind of an Israeli genocidal maniac, who is wanted by the ICC for war crimes. His willing accomplice, a malignant narcissist, an adjudicated rapist, a convicted felon, and who comes with a side of sadism, is the US regime’s Mobster-in-Chief. None other than Donald J. Trump, a low IQ, buffoonish gangster, who presents as an out of control racist, fascist, and Christo-nationalist criminal. Not being well equipped intellectually has enabled the genocidal maniac in Israel to dog walk him into war, which breaks International law and is currently breaching the Geneva Convention. It is a war, which could easily become an endless quagmire of spilled blood, untold pain, and utter futility.
What the world’s leaders have really signed up for, is the sanctioning of the murder of their fellow human beings. What is happening in Iran is as inhuman as it gets, but Gazan genocide has now normalised cruelty. Meanwhile, our corrupted, and captured media sanitises their atrocities, piping distorted, biased, disinformation and misinformation into our lives through the enshitified channels of social media. Ironically, the channels and their platforms are owned and operated by the donors to the captured and corrupted politicians who have authorised the ongoing murder of Palestinian and Iranian people.
What the world is losing by destroying Palestine and Iran is any claim to humanity, along with the complete surrender of its espoused values, moral code, and integrity. The world is also losing irreplaceable heritage and culture, which is part of our collective human story.
In thousands of years, it would appear the human species has learned nothing more than how to accelerate their own extinction. Its imperialist, narcissistic, unhinged desire overrides everything, continuing at speed, and at a cost of US $1,000,000,000 per day. And as imperialist’s capital goes up in smoke -literally - millions of people in the world don’t have a roof over their head, access to healthcare or enough to eat.
This is some genuinely fucked up shit folks, and this is what happens when a mentally ill happy clapper with a penchant for annihilation, grift, rape, crime, and murder, is turned loose on humanity while unilaterally commanding the most powerful military on earth.
White, Christian (?) European colonialist-supremacist meets white Jewish/Zionist European colonialist-exceptionalist. The result; oppression and war against those with an independent culture and spirit who refuse to embrace ‘the American way of submission’ to the conglomerates and oligarchs.
This is a great article, thank you I always appreciate your writing.
I understand the comparison for sure but I’m not sure how I feel about using DSM descriptors for these manipulations and atrocities.
I also get that there’s certain patterns of manipulation, seeing humans as a means to an end, dehumanizing, etc that are fall under the umbrella of narcissistic or psychopathic.
Just as a psych survivor I wonder if there are better words we could use to get points like this across.
Sorry if this seems pedantic esp in the scale of what’s happening.
The death, destruction and plunder must continue. China is the country the US really wants to destroy. First it must destroy Russia & Iran. It looks like they're actually going to try. The blockade on oil is to weaken China's economy before it becomes totally energy independent.
It also seems that everything else is window dressing for, what is at its core, a religious war between Christian, Talmud and Islam.
Every one of these zealots espousing chaos to bring about the coming of their "God."
I wonder if any of them ever thought about dispensing with the chaotic lead up to their religion's "second coming", or however they view it, and just get on with the "era of peace and prosperity."
I wouldn't even call it a religious war between 'Christians'/'Jews' and Muslims. I'd call it an ethnic cleansing by 'Christians'/'Jews' against Muslims fighting an existential fight for their cultural survival.
Macron is the son of Elie de Rothschild, French citizens don't know it wikipedia says another fairytale about him... Worldwide citizens must enter into the spiritual golden age mafia, the strength and domination.
Carney is providing verbal support but not material. He will have the easier path to reverse direction on, and reverse he will.
I think it is impossible to state how many human created and maintained systems are facing serious impediments due to the feckless crusade of the religious fanatics running US and Israeli foreign policy.
Alexandria, Egypt, but not all was Arab, most pre-dates the Arabs, who, admittedly, were also far ahead of Europeans until fairly recently in the historical context (and many would say remain so, but probably not Iran at this moment!).
Exceptional analysis. Carney is controlled by the zionists.
I wish somebody would report on the ghostwriter for the speech Carney gave at Davos. Especially after the excerpt here from Baraka.
to clarify: Not an excerpt from Carney’s ghostwritten speech. an excerpted quote from Ajamu Baraka.
You nailed it, Nathan!

And another thing: if you're American and find this illegal and immoral war objectionable, you can be a conscientious objector. https://consortiumnews.com/2026/03/10/crushing-the-right-to-conscientiously-object/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=3dde37c4-0986-4ad1-95f0-08da884fc507

ZERO argument from me Nate, you’ve nailed it.

Of course. What does anyone propose to do about it?
White, Christian (?) European colonialist-supremacist meets white Jewish/Zionist European colonialist-exceptionalist. The result; oppression and war against those with an independent culture and spirit who refuse to embrace ‘the American way of submission’ to the conglomerates and oligarchs.
The sociopaths who rule over us care about religion, only to the extent that it can be weaponized ("Us tribe good! Them tribe bad!")

Thank you for this. I’ve been thinking about the ideological forces controlling the narrative. My thoughts here:

So much for Canadian self-mythologizing as the global good-guy, elbows up and all that malarkey.
Sighing disgustedly in Canadian.
