I just posted a tweet wondering about the District of Columbia's laws regarding involuntary commitment. There is a plethora of evidence that the man has lost his faculties. Waiting for his cabinet to wake up and smell the coffee and invoke the 25th is futile. Hell, the Senate GOP X account fellated Trump yesterday. And they are a slightly more lucid bunch than the Cabinet members.

I wish my writing skills were far better.

Americans in general do not realize the galactic size anvil that is going to land on them due to the fossil fuel fields in West Asia going offline. It's not just gas for the pickup, its medicine, lubricants, plastic, fertilizer and much more becoming rare and unavailable here in the States and sadly, the largely innocent rest of the planet will suffer with us.

The West should have condemned the Israeli genocide and demanded that the US stop facilitating its continuance.

May the global South manage to feed itself. They comprise the portion of humanity that deserves to survive what the largest, nastiest El Niño will deliver later this year.

For the planet, the reprieve from fossil fuel burning might preserve some beauty.

The Grayzone has unmasked the Iranian BBC journalist who called for Iran to be nuked by the Zionist axis as a puppet of western intelligence: https://substack.com/home/post/p-193479220

You can see how sick these people are, not that there aren't thousands of examples- Israeli Channel 13 has set a countdown clock for Trump's deadline for genocide against Iran:

But will he do it? Or rather will his handlers do it?

Would not bother Netanyahu in the slightest. Far as he is concerned, the rest of humanity is but livestock.

Ever see "Don't Look Up!"?

1. There is no deal that would satisfy Israel. Israel seeks the destruction of Iran and Trump dances to Israel's commands like a puppet on a string.

2. Israel and the United States will not hesitate to go nuclear.

Thanks Nate, i highly appreciate your articles.

I put nothing past the U.S. or Israel using a nuke on Iran. This truely scares me & i don't think enough people are scared.

The brave Iranian people are out most nights in their streets, standing together & with their leaders. Now they are forming human barriers across their bridges.

While the West's leaders have facilitated a genocide & the bombing of Iran & let's not forget what Israel is being allowed to do in South Lebanon.

These are real nightmare times & we in the west need to wake the fuck up quick. The empire is falling & they want to take us all down with it.

William Bowles raises an interesting point about Trump's handlers and their role in these monstrous policies.

The whole damn White House staff needs to be committed.

The people in the US have been lied to and fed censored information and propaganda for so long a majority have a completely distorted view of the world. Iran has been the subject of relentless propaganda by the (Zionist) corporate media in an effort to instill hatred of Iran and the "mullahs" who "kill Americans" and "enslaved their people" since 1979. This brainwashing has prepared the people for war on Iran. This explains how Trump can start an illegal aggressive war, commit war crimes, and utter homicidal insanities without removed office immediately. Every politician has been bought and paid for by AIPAC--this is why Congress has abdicated responsibility for stopping this illegal war. There is no "democracy" in the US--we are ruled by money and the warmongers who profit from war.

Every empire tells itself the same lie: that its violence is exceptional, that its failures are temporary, that its enemies are savages, that its soldiers are heroes, that its leaders are wise.

@ “(…) those states which are sovereign get targeted for regime change precisely because they are sovereign. This, ultimately, was Iran’s only crime. It’s original sin.”

True. In an interview with Nima R. Alkhorshid | Dialogue Works today prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi said the same. Yet he added another Iranian ‘sin’: Iran supports the Palestinians.

Or, maybe having rulers is a bad idea, actually. Maybe we don't need better "leaders" (rulers). Maybe we just don't need any at all.

See: https://thegrayzone.substack.com/p/senior-bbc-iran-reporter-exposed

"After a top reporter at the BBC drew outrage for publishing a quote demanding Iran be nuked, she’s been revealed as a dedicated regime change activist whose career was launched by a CIA-founded propaganda network. Serious questions remain about the BBC’s editorial process."

British people know that the CIA deposed the Shah of Iran. So why are you speaking the way you are about the Shah of Iran now? My 2018 book entitled The Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi: Victim of His Times ISBN 978-09725798-3-4 should be on your reading list. Other British people have bought it from me such as Diane in East Susex, Len in Somerset, and Dean in Gloucestershire on my £20.00 offer with free P&P not to mention Guy somewhere in England who bought it in 2018, etc. To read comments from some who have read my top secred book log onto https://arlenejohnson.livejournal.com

Contact me at this Email address so that I can give you my sort code and account number for my TSB account, and give me your physical address where I will be happy to send it to you.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Arlene Johnson

I have been letting as many people as possible know the following (including my email list of about 50 friends, acquaintances and family who I forward out articles to, usually on a daily basis).

I really feel that an emergency meeting of all of Congress should be convened today because I am almost certain there must be something in the constitution that says (or can easily be construed as meaning) that a president or office holder is not of sufficiently sound mind to continue holding that position if he makes public statements like he did today. Whether Trump actually acts on his threats or not is not even the point (AS FAR AS removal from office is concerned... obviously, it is something no human ever wants to see happen).

Obviously, even just the publication of those words (for the entire world to see!) should be enough to have him removed from office... immediately! He is obviously not sane, of sound mind (that's at least two administrations in a row, btw... Biden was not either... and was almost assuredly NOT calling any shots during his entire tenure... but this is our current nut-case insanity situation, and Congress needs to convene an emergency meeting today for his removal from office. There is no logically sane (and UN-conditioned) person (doesn't matter which one of the two evil/asshole corporate parties one cheerleads for... personally-speaking, neither of which I would ever in a million years vote for, or support) who can read Trump's post, and think he should spend even one more minute occupying that position.
