Reshaping the World

I’ve been spending a great deal of time following the war in the Middle East. It’s depressing as all hell.

Trump dragged the US into a needless war. I think he was sincere in his insistence during the 2024 election campaign that he’d not want the US to fight any wars. But that was before the Epstein files began to come out.

All the evidence supports the theory that there’s some seriously damaging stuff in those files that would pretty much destroy Trump’s reputation (whatever little he has remaining) among his MAGA supporters. The stupid, vain, man-child that he is could not countenance that. Mossad most certainly has the goods on Trump and is using that to force Trump to do Netanyahu’s bidding.

Trump tried his best to stop the Epstein files from being released. But the Congress forced the DOJ to begin releasing large, albeit heavily redacted, chunks of it. More was to come soon. Thanks very much, Representatives Massie and Khanna. Are you happy now?

Blackmail is a very powerful weapon. But it doesn’t work if the secret is revealed. Epstein was most likely a Mossad agent. Mossad had to use what they had on Trump before it got dumped into the public domain. They had to move fast. I guess Netanyahu told Trump to bomb Iran immediately or else the real dirty stuff will be front-page news.

In a last-ditch effort to distract the public from the Epstein files, Trump decided to start this senseless illegal war against Iran. I hold the Islamic tyrants ruling Iran in contempt but I have even more contempt for wars.

If I were forced to choose between mullahs killing thousands of innocent people in Iran, and a devastating war that could end up killing tens of millions of people around the world, I would choose the former. It’s a consequentialist argument but it is morally valid.

Like I said before, Trump was probably against starting any wars but he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He chose war. The side benefit was that the military-industrial complex that funds the congress critters would make a couple of trillion.

I have watched dozens of videos of expert opinions. I recommend this one.

It’s all karma, neh?

  1. Congress forced the DOJ to begin releasing large, albeit heavily redacted, chunks of it.

    Israel was probably behind this as well. There is no way otherwise so many republicans who otherwise have their head deeply buried inside Trump’s rear orifice would vote for this bill.

    If I were forced to choose between mullahs killing thousands of innocent people in Iran, and a devastating war that could end up killing tens of millions of people around the world, I would choose the former. It’s a consequentialist argument but it is morally valid.

    While Iranians might complain the fact that mullahs force their daughters to wear hijab, the cities appear cleaner than the best parts of Indian cities, crime is low, there are plenty of good schools, women have great participation in employment and education. Universities in Iran do well despite all the sanctions. Iran has built several missiles and drones that even Russia was forced to buy, indicating better human capital than average Trump constituency. People might lack freedom but there are lot of good things that they take for granted which the war will take away immediately; and will have much bigger impact on their life than the so called freedom Israel pretends to deliver.

    For the 160 little girls who were killed by US Tomahawk missile, I am sure their parents would rather prefer a mullah rule over collecting the parts of their daughters body from the debris. US has not even apologized, did not admit the mistake and instead the Secretary of War has bragged about the “no quarter” approach.

    This is not anymore about just war or military industrial complex. This is about how a tiny nation has used blackmail, abuse and assassinations to act as a parasite on a large nation to start needless global conflicts which will cost many people their lives, cost trillions in losses so the tiny nation can engage in genocide in its neighbourhood and grab land from other poor nations.

    Parasites are never satiated as long as the host is alive.

    It it time the low human capital GOP takes their most beloved drug ivermectin to get rid of the parasitic worm !
