TRUMP’S BRAND & MAGA IN TATTERS — Clay Clark

from SGT Report:

Not since the implosion of Bud Light and Jaguar have we seen a brand fall from grace as quickly as the Trump ‘brand’ has done in recent months. The country, its future and MAGA are all in tatters as this non-war WAR with Iran drags into its third month. The economic and political ramifications of Trump’s folly are taking root and the resulting damage has surely changed our country forever. The ever stoic Clay Clark returns to SGT Report to discuss all of it.

Trump’s ‘Project Freedom’ Paused Following Saudi Arabia Support Withdrawal

from The Conservative Treehouse:

In recent developments President Trump’s ‘project freedom’ operation to open the Strait of Hormuz for captured shipping interests has been paused following Saudi Arabia’s withdrawal of support and their revocation of Saudi air bases for U.S. operations.

The issue behind the Saudi decision is not that complicated if you understand the longer-term background.  However, the issue behind the Saudi decision also highlights a key ¹flaw in the Promethean analysis of the relationship (and the reason I caution everyone to sip slowly from this information source).

Chinese-Owned Oil Tanker Attacked Near Strait of Hormuz as US Prepares to Restart ‘Project Freedom’

from Your News:

A Chinese-owned oil tanker was attacked near the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, marking the first reported strike on a Chinese vessel since the U.S.-Iran conflict began, as the Trump administration reportedly moves to revive its naval escort operation known as “Project Freedom.”

By yourNEWS Media Newsroom

Chinese media reported that the tanker, whose name has not been publicly disclosed, was clearly marked “CHINA OWNER & CREW” when it came under attack near the strategically vital shipping corridor.

What’s behind Zelensky’s recent ceasefire maneuvers?

0

by Lorenzo Maria Pacini, Strategic Culture:

The war in Ukraine has for some time now entered a phase in which truces no longer resemble a bridge to peace, but rather a parallel battlefield.

The words “ceasefire” no longer evoke only the silence of weapons: they serve to gauge the balance of power, to test nerves, to produce images, and to impose political interpretations. In this context, the truce proposal announced by Volodymyr Zelenskyy between May 5 and 6, 2026, should not be interpreted as a mere humanitarian gesture, but as a strategic move within a war that is also being fought on the symbolic front. Previously, the illegitimate Ukrainian president had repeatedly had his troops systematically violate the truces that the Russian Federation had declared on holidays, which is why this month’s truce appears highly suspicious.

German Foreign Minister Doubts NATO’s Survival

by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics:

When former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer says openly, “I have my doubts about NATO’s survival,” people should understand the significance of that statement. This is not coming from some fringe anti-war activist or outsider. Fischer was one of the central architects of modern German foreign policy and one of the strongest advocates for NATO intervention during the Kosovo War. For someone like him to now question the survival of the alliance tells you how dramatically the geopolitical landscape has shifted.

ABOUT THOSE MISSING (CHINESE) SCIENTISTS

by Joseph P. Farrell, Giza Death Star:

If you’ve been following the various permeations of the “missing/dead” scientists story in the USA which began with the disappearance of US Air Force General McCasland, and which took it’s most unanticipated dive into a rabbit hole with the recent revelations that the alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, was once connected to NASA’s Jet propulsion Laboratory having done a summer internship there utilizing artificial intelligence in planetary mapping capacities – a position that, to my mind, would perhaps have required at least some degree of security vetting – then you’re probably aware of the fact that American scientists are not the only ones missing, or who have recently died under weird circumstances. In fact, China appears to be experiencing some sort of Sudden Scientists Death Syndrome according to this article shared by E.E. (with our gratitude):

For Bibi, the Road to Tehran Goes Through Damascus

by Mike Whitney, Global Research:

Whitney’s analysis of the sequence of events closely mirrors subsequent developments. Following Assad’s removal and the installation of former al-Qaeda leader Mohammad al-Jolani (now known as Ahmed al-Sharaa), the US-Israel alliance gained a new ally in Syria, paving the way for the bombing of Iran in late February 2026.

Syria is an indispensable part of Israel’s ambitious plan to remake the Middle East. The country sits at the heart of the region and serves as both a critical landbridge for the transport of weaponry and foot-soldiers from Iran to its allies, as well as the geopolitical center of the armed resistance to Israeli expansion.

China Orders Refiners to Ignore U.S. Sanctions on Key Iranian Oil Buyers

by Garrison Vance, Natural News:

China’s Ministry of Commerce formally invoked its 2021 Blocking Rules for the first time on May 4, ordering all entities in the country to disregard U.S. sanctions on five domestic oil refiners, according to a ministry statement. [1]

The directive protects Hengli Petrochemical, Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical, Hebei Xinhai Chemical, Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical and Shandong Shengxing Chemical, which were blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury in April for allegedly generating billions of dollars in revenue for Iran by processing sanctioned Iranian crude. [5]

The order comes weeks before a planned meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to officials. [1]

Ben Shapiro: Trump Should ‘Just Blow Up Kharg Island’

by Chris Menahan, Information Liberation:

Ben Shapiro on Tuesday urged President Trump to “just blow up Kharg Island,” insisting it’s the “easiest move for the United States to make right now.”

As I noted above, Shapiro told the Chabad Palm Beach Gardens synagogue in a video released last week that it will be a “disaster” if Trump doesn’t “pull the trigger” and unleash our “massive arsenal” against Iran.

Did you know the US and Israel helped create Iran’s nuclear project? Here’s the story

from RT:

What’s 3,000 people killed in Iran, 2,020 killed in Lebanon, 23 in Israel, and more than a dozen in Gulf states after the US launched its war against Iran? “A little Middle East work” that’s going “very well,” US President Donald Trump said at the White House last week during a state dinner for King Charles.

Trump’s ‘little work’, which involved significant casualties in the region without a clearly defined objective at the outset, was later framed as serving the purpose of ensuring that “Americans and their children would not be threatened by a nuclear-armed Iran.”

AMERICA’S TREASURE FOR THE GREATER ISRAEL PROJECT — Harley Schlanger

from SGT Report:

What’s it gonna take for Americans to wake up to the fact that their ‘government’ is now under the control of a foreign entity that has a thirst for war that cannot be quenched, and it’s young Americans who will be sent to die for Israel’s “project”. Harley Schlanger returns to SGT Report to discuss the latest.
