Brian McGlinchey, US Support For Israel Comes At A Staggering, Multifaceted Price

James Fetzerblog

Brian McGlinchey [Editor’s note: The featured image (above) is from “Israel Salutes the US” for its support by attacking Iran on its behalf.[ When asked about the cost of their government’s support of the State of Israel, some Americans will say it’s $3.8 billion a year — the amount of annual military aid the United States is committed to under its current, 10-year “memorandum of understanding” with Israel. However, that answer massively understates the true cost of the relationship, not only because it doesn’t capture various, vast expenditures springing from it, but even…

Mike Whitney, Will Bibi Ask Trump to Nuke Iran? Ritter Says “Yes.”

James Fetzerblog

Mike Whitney If Iran resumes enrichment while rejecting IAEA inspections, then Trump will target Iran’s underground facilities with a low-yield B61-11 nuclear weapon You can usually tell which side won a war by simply observing ‘what happens’ after the hostilities end. Following the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, millions of Iranians poured onto the streets of Tehran, chanting patriotic songs and waving flags in a spontaneous display of jubilation. In contrast, there were no festivities or celebrations in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem where the mood was noticeably…

Paul Craig Roberts, President Trump’s Plan for the Middle East

James Fetzerblog

Paul Craig Roberts In discussion yesterday with Nima on Dialogue Works about the Israeli-Iranian-Trump-Netanyahu ongoings, I suggested a bold and innovative plan for the Middle East that Trump should present to the world in a speech to the UN General Assembly.  I even offered to write the speech. https://www.youtube.com/live/L-8j_NSxC14 I formed the plan from mulling over insights into Trump’s attitude toward the Middle East from Gilbert Doctorow, Michel Chossudovsky, and from Trump’s news conference with Netanyahu when Trump stated Washington’s claim to Gaza as an American possession. Doctorow pointed out that…

Joachim Hagopian, From Jewish State Founding Rothschild Bankers’ Wars to Today’s US-Israel Hegemon Collapse

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian As far back as 1829, almost two full centuries ago four reputable journals reported that Baron Rothschild may have purchased Jerusalem and Palestine for the establishment of the Jewish State. 119 years later, Israel was formally established and that same day 11 minutes later recognized by President Harry Truman. Against the better judgment of his State Department head Dean Acheson and Joint Chiefs of Staff General George Marshall, Truman accepted his Zionist bribe of $2 million in suitcase cash, and the rest is history. Also, from a book called A Residence in…

William de Berg, Trump, Kabuki Theater, and the Defeat of Israel

James Fetzerblog

William de Berg   Now that the dust has cleared after the end of the 12-day Israel-Iran War, certain truths have become evident.   For one, Israel suffered a humiliating defeat.  Even before it allegedly ran out of air-defense missiles [1], Israel’s very rusty and obsolete “Iron Dome” couldn’t deflect Iran’s large arsenal of hypersonic missiles, which damaged or destroyed Israel’s military headquarters, its Mossad headquarters, its largest oil refinery and port (in Haifa), its leading scientific institute, and other key infrastructure [2].  Isarel sustained up to $20 billion in damage,…

Israel’s failure to subdue Iran shows it can no longer dictate the regional order

James Fetzerblog

David Hearst  The Luftwaffe regarded the blitz on Coventry on 14 November 1940 as an astonishing technological achievement. German propaganda broadcasts hailed the raid as “the most severe in the whole history of the war”. The chief Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, was so delighted with the raid, that he coined a new term in its honour: “to Coventrate”. It was not long, however, before the taste of total victory turned sour. The production of aero engines and aircraft parts was quickly shifted to shadow factories. Capacity had only been dented, not destroyed; within months, factories were…

Joachim Hagopian, WWIII or Neo-Feudal Enslavement… Whichever Comes First

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian The two warfronts according to script keep taking competing turns escalating global tensions, supplying more wag-the-dog media headlines demanding public attention. Now that central casting’s highly staged, fake and artificial ceasefire at the Middle East frontline momentary takes a breather, it’s “lights, camera, action” shifting to this week’s NATO summit at The Hague, where Trump on Wednesday June 25th joined the usual cast of bad actors  – the globalist Euro lapdogs. The atmosphere at The Hague is just like a scene from “The Godfather” movie with Godfather Trump fresh off his…

Joachim Hagopian, Middle East Peace at Last? Or Another US-Israel Broken Ceasefire Ruse

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian Iran sent a warning in advance to the Qataris and the Americans just prior to its Monday night June 23rd attack on Al Udeid airbase in Qatar, deemed the US Air Force command center in the Middle East. It came in response to Trump’s attack on Iran two days prior. But then on Monday evening Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social that he brokered a Middle East ceasefire between Netanyahu and Iran, claiming while he personally worked with Bibi, his team VP JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff parlayed…

Joachim Hagopian, Trump’s Unprovoked Iran Attack: Bombs Away to Armageddon Madness

James Fetzerblog

Joachim Hagopian US President Donald Trump addressed the nation in a televised live 10PM EDT broadcast to announce that he deployed US bomber airstrikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Earlier this week after declaring he would wait up to two weeks to “give peace a chance” to take shape, just two days later he bombs three of Iran’s nuclear facilities. Again, this once again gave away the fact that the untrustworthy Orange Face showman continues his audacity using “peace talks” as a deceptive ruse. And then smugly certain…
