Let’s Leave the Strait of Hormuz Alone

by Ron Paul, Ron Paul Institute:

President Trump was reportedly “shocked” to see many thousands of Iranians in the street mourning at the funeral of the country’s late leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, over the weekend. Khamenei was assassinated by the United States at the beginning of the February US surprise attack on Iran.

The US attack on Iran was sold to Trump by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and US neocons as an easy “cake walk” that would lead the Iranian government to fall and be replaced with a US-friendly regime.

SCOTT RITTER: On a Highway to Hell

by Scott Ritter, Consortium News:

Nuclear weapons offer an illusion of security. By allowing the U.S. nuclear posture to shift from deterrence to employment, there will be a scenario where the U.S. will use nuclear weapons. And then it’s lights out.

Successive U.S. administrations have eschewed arms control in favor of maintaining American strategic advantage over real and/or imagined adversaries.

This is accomplished by embracing nuclear weapons employment strategies that deviate from simple deterrence into war-fighting at every level of conflict, including scenarios that don’t involve a nuclear threat.

Where Is The Missing Uranium? – This Is A Question That The Entire World Should Be Asking

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

Nobody seems to know what happened to Iran’s enormous stockpile of enriched uranium.  Until we learn the fate of that uranium, I think that it is premature for anyone to be declaring victory.  Of course now that the ceasefire appears to be holding, everyone is declaring victory.  Israel is declaring victory, Iran is declaring victory, and President Trump is declaring victory.  But what is the truth?

White House’s John Kirby Trashes Veterans on 9/11 in Email Accidentally Sent to Fox News

by Joel B. Pollack, Breitbart:

White House national security spokesman John Kirby trashed a group of veterans in an email sent in error to Fox News on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.

As Fox News reported on Wednesday, Kirby responded to an email query from Fox about criticisms by a veterans’ group about the Biden administration’s disastrous 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan by accidentally hitting “reply all” before disparaging the veterans.

POSSIBLE HISTORY: Is Russia Playing The Long Game And Working To Create A ‘Eurussian Empire’ That Will Trigger WWIII And Dominate Europe?

by Geoffrey Grinder, Now The End Begins:

The name alone carries a sinister weight – Eurussian Empire – an alliance of two once historically opposing forces, Europe and Russia.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has gone on for over 3 years now, and one thing’s for sure. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not trying to win the war, he is merely keeping it percolating on autopilot as events grind on around him. So, if the goal of the war Putin started is not simply to take control of Ukraine, what’s the end game? As a student of history, I would have to say that Putin’s end game is the restoration of the Soviet Union, of which Ukraine plays a small but meaningful part.

Evidence U.S. Plans a WW III Against Both Russia and China — Follow-Up

by Eric Zuesse, Strategic Culture:

The following news-article (along with all of its live-linked documentations so as to enable news-editors to see immediately what the documentation for any assertion in it is) was submitted on 5 May 2023 to 300 news media and published only by three, and is here being resubmitted (slightly expanded and updated) to them all, for reconsideration, because of the extreme importance of the solidly documented and under-reported facts that it contains:

Canada’s Streets Named After Nazis ‘Not Shocking’ Given Its Dark Past – Russian Ambassador

from Sputnik News:

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The fact that some Canadian streets have been named after Nazi accomplices and collaborators is “not shocking” given its dark past of harboring Nazi war criminals, Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
On July 24, the Jewish non-profit association “Forward” found in a new investigation that since the 2000s, at least two Canadian streets had been named after Nazi accomplices and collaborators, namely Max Brose, a German automotive industrialist that produced weaponry for Germany’s war machine during World War II, and member of the Nazi party, and Peter Savaryn, a Ukrainian Nazi SS veteran that fought in Ukraine’s 1st Galician.

Trump Starts New War in Middle East by Bombing Yemen Women and Children

by Brian Shilhavy, Health Impact News:

It is doubtful that any Yemen leaders would have even seen this warning and threat by Trump, let alone had a chance to respond to it, before Trump ordered the bombing.

Notice that in Trump’s announcement, he does not claim that the Houthis have killed any Americans, or actually threatened anyone in the United States. Only that they have attacked ships in the Red Sea, and hurt the economy of the U.S.

At the time of my writing this, it is being reported that the bombs launched into Yemen have killed more than 30 people, mostly women and children, and hundreds others are wounded.

Every Time Putin Utters a Truth – The World’s Liars Go Crazy

by Phil Butler, New Eastern Outlook:

Many people in my country are beginning to understand the lies and control mechanisms put in place by our elites. Liars are easily found over time.  A Cold War mentality of our elite dinosaurs grafted onto the new breed of soulless elites is now crystal clear. The proxy war in Ukraine, the aggression toward China, and the hubris of Western leadership are finally tipping the scales.

Take this lead to an article from AP and Euronews the other day as a prime example. The author, Mark Armstrong, tried to convert fact into fiction by complaining the Russians are “claiming” the G7 and NATO are trying to divide Russia. Say what?
