It seems clear that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has disrupted Trump’s negotiations with Iran about nuclear weapons by interjecting in the middle of the negotiations another demand–that Iran give up its missiles and its alleged proxy forces.
Netanyahu’s demand is obviously intended to ruin the negotiations as the demand clearly would prevent Iran’s ability to defend itself from Israeli attack. From the beginning Netanyahu has been determined to force the US to war with Iran, and that is the purpose of his demand that the deal with Iran includes the military disarming of Iran.
We see this in the news reports that the Trump regime is now considering whether the deal with Iran should also extend to Iranian missiles. Iran is willing to agree not to produce nuclear weapons, but cannot possibly agree to disarm itself of conventional weapons, especially after US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee recently acknowledged that Greater Israel is an ongoing Zionist project.
If Iran has the Chinese battle control system that former British diplomat Alastair Crooke described, a US attack on Iran could result in an American defeat, the loss of aircraft carriers and US military bases in the area as well as heavy destruction of Israel. Why would Netanyahu expose Israel to this risk? Could it be that he bets that an American defeat would lead to demand for revenge on Iran and the US would finally do what Israel wants and nuke the Iranian nation, thus removing Iran as a barrier to further Israeli expansion?
Iran’s designation as a terrorist state and Iran’s alleged proxy forces are propagandistic claims used to justify a US military attack on Iran. As the world must know, the two terrorist states are Israel and the United States. Washington, for example, kidnaps foreign leaders of states, and Israel assassinates Iranian, Lebanese, and Yemeni leaders. Who has Iran assassinated ? What terrorist act is Iran responsible for?
The Israeli genocide of Palestine is reason enough for the Houthis in Yemen to oppose Israel. Israel’s attempted expansion into Lebanon is sufficient reason for Hezbollah to oppose Israel. Perhaps Iran supplies them with weapons, but that doesn’t make them Iran’s proxies. The US provides Israel with weapons. Does this make America an Israeli proxy?
Insouciant Americans are unaware that Netanyahu and Washington are setting them up for a war that serves only Israel’s interest.
Ever since Americans fell for the 911 narrative, they have been putty in the Israel Lobby’s hands, and their beliefs about the Middle East have been given to them by the Israel Lobby and it’s many American associates. The prevailing ignorance can very easily produce a catastrophic war.

BBC deletes story about care home fraudster’s ‘suffering’
Story by Fiona Parker
the BBC had to delete a story about a care home fraudster’s “suffering”.
Ben Howard, who now works for a service for LGBT people affected by gambling, had told BBC News
“being a homosexual jew made it harder to get gambling support”.
The article goes on to ask: “But how did Howard’s sexuality play a part in the suffering he experienced due to gambling?”
However, Howard was sentenced to three years and four months in prison in 2020 after admitting taking £250,000 while working as a care home manager, some of which was from residents.
In a clarification post after deleting the online article, the broadcaster said it failed to provide “sufficient context” on Howard’s criminal offending, the child filth on his computer or “take account of the likely impact on victims of his contribution”.
Fraud funded gambling additions to theft and computer child and animal porn
The headline stated “Being perverted made it harder to get gambling support”, but only later in the text was it mentioned that Howard had stolen from care home residents to fund his addiction.
The story quickly attracted attention, with a user on X writing: “He stole £250,000 from vulnerable elderly nursing home residents and this is how the BBC present it to you.”
Another wrote: “The BBC has now deleted this story, in which it profiled a man who, over three years, stole £250,000 from residents in a care home he was the manager of, and explicitly stated that HE was the victim because ‘homosexual men might find it difficult to get gambling addiction support’.”
what a filthy disgusting bastard
When a big ego that paints itself orange can’t accept a small L let alone a big one its capacity for f**k-ups is endless. Even if it won but decided the win isn’t big enough it is capable of committing greater harm just to be able to say “I did that!”
3.8 million UFO files wiped hours after Donald Trump’s alien disclosure order — accidental error or something more?
Story by Michael Toledo • 4h • 3.8 million UFO files wiped hours after Donald Trump’s alien disclosure order — accidental error or something more?he Black Vault is a publicly accessible archive that has compiled thousands of declassified US government documents on UFOs, covert programmes and alleged alien technology. Greenewald has spent more than 30 years submitting Freedom of Information Act requests to the CIA, FBI and other agencies to build the collection, which includes files dating back to the 1940s and 1950s.
Through his Truth Social account, Trump’s 20 February order directed the Pentagon and related agencies to release any records pertaining to extraterrestrial life and unidentified aerial phenomena. The order came after Trump criticised former President Barack Obama for publicly acknowledging the existence of aliens, claiming Obama had disclosed classified information. Details of the Server Wipe
The Black Vault’s server was reportedly wiped on 20 February, with hundreds of gigabytes of files deleted and file ownership logs altered. Some directories had their permissions changed without explanation, though Greenewald noted the hosting provider said the incident appeared to be a deletion rather than corruption.
Wait a minute, wasn’t it the insouciant paul craig roberts who until very recently kept supporting and making excuses for the monstrous fat orange bastard (MFOB), even though it was painfully obvious since at least early 2017 that the MFOB was an israel-first, america-never, utterly lawless, morally bankrupt, criminally insane madman?
LOL..
zionists have controlled American foreign policy since at least 1914..that’s why it’s called foreign policy because foreigners decide the policy..and americans carry it out..which it must be said is usually to the detriment of americans but excellent for the foreigners..
as can be seen..
this policy generally comes with a threat of death by zionist explosive device and a big bag of cash for its resident..see Harry Shithead Truman for reference..who funnily enough was the 33rd resident to boot..
which would have been fun..
Probably one of the most pathetic examples of the cucked west is all this “Trump is thinking about something.” Imagine a world where trump was the actual president of america and he actually gave a shit about americans. Don’t you think he’d say “It’s against my wishes, but we really must start a war with Iran and we’ll do it on such and such a day, so get ready.” Don’t you think that would be how it would be? If he gave a shit? Because it isn’t like Iran wouldn’t know anyway. It’s not like the baiters know, they tell you, but the eye-hate-holla doesn’t. But the truth is, it’s as much against the american citizens as it’s against the ragheads. Trump gets richer, the rest of the tribe gets richer, some ragheads die, americans get poorer. No one believes “They’ve got nukes.” That one expired after Iraq. Did anyone vote for Trump to be fucking around in the middle east? Did he not promise to “Bring the troops home”? Yet here we are again.
Let’s look at it another way. Let’s say we want to get rid of the ragheads, which isn’t such a bad idea, unless you want to be their slave. Ok. So how would we do that? Well, we have nukes don’t we? So lets nuke the entire raghead world. That would be the way to do that. But he ain’t doing that either is he? Instead, he’s wondering which girl to order up for dinner whilst waving his wig around in the raghead’s face. And don’t give me bollocks about “lunacy.” They already did it to half the middle east. The only ragheads they don’t do it to are the ones raping your children.
is he in satanjahus depts for screwing children ? IRAN
COME OUT WITH HACKED INCRIMINATING

TRUTH IS ONE OF HUNDREDS NAMES OF ALLAH !
Yeah yeah, the shit show exposes Jewry’s stranglehold on the Jewnited States regime, and most americunts are either mentally retarded, morally bankrupt, or couldn’t give a squatting shit about it…with a majority being a combinations of all 3. A bunch of yid “settlers” could go door to door in many places and pimp-slap whomever answers with a rubber dong and have a good chance of surviving, and in dumb-f*ck Baptist and even dumber-f*ck Evangelical strongholds they’d get begged to do it again.
