WWIII has already started
Last night I found two men who have put the puzzle pieces together and exposed the real purpose of this war with Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Russia, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, our allies, and not least of all China the world.
First, for those who prefer reading to video-watching:
“It’s tempting to believe that the US war machine is finished. Militarily, Iran have indeed dealt the US their worst humiliation in modern history — one I covered in clinical detail.
But in the background, Washington have been quietly carrying out an armed robbery of the world’s oil and gas supply. All of it.
In just 90 days, the US have executed an energy blitzkrieg decades in the making:Hundreds of strikes on Russian tankers and refineries
Disrupting a third of China’s oil and LNG supply
Capturing the largest oil reserves on the planet
Establishing a global naval blockade from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean
And in the process, kidnapped and assassinated two heads of state. We are witnessing the transition of the United States from an empire into a lawless Pirate State, and the birth of what I call the Petrogas-dollar or LNG-Dollar.”
Here is a video summary of the above: The Petrogas-Dollar: The Secret US Strategy Behind the Iran War
Lastly, another man who has put the pieces together: The New Atlas
I felt obligated to share this information here. There is not one person in my life that cares about any of this, but 1 or 2 here, I feel, would prefer to know.
The war in Iran is fake. It's all about stealing from the treasury, driving prices up, destroying the middle class. It's a scheme to plunder. And keep you anxious and worried.
By the way, if you care to share, make some effort to summarize the ideas in your own words. Just posting links is lazy. Why would I care to click on them? Make a case!
Miles Mathis Hermes, 1. I don't care to persuade you - these men are far more capable, 2. I didn't feel lazy cobbling this together and 3. The videos summarize the ideas.
Do you want a summary of the summary? These men have made their case by reading think tank documents which have been rubber stamped into policy over the decades, then observing actual events in light of those. I guess I'm lazy because I haven't read all of these documents. Good grief.
Aw gheeze Hermes is Miles now? Gosh hee hee. I hope Miles Mathis someday writes about vitamin A. That reminds me to go catch up over there.
I guess nothing surprises me anymore, lately I've gone down the rabbit hole on the all the history that makes no sense. Like old maps that show cities in places where supposedly there were only scattered hunter-gatherers, and entire countries written out of the narrative. And because of that... well, if "they" can make up history...we don't have any foundation to start from... well what is left? than to enjoy the show? Duck your head and let the wave go over?
Here goes..
This is a war on multipolarism by an empire in decline. Just as the dollar tied to Gulf oil was failing, it transitioned to being pegged to U.S. oil and gas production. Per Brian Berletic of The New Atlas, America has no allies - only proxies. Ukraine is our proxy, and so is Australia, Taiwan, Japan, Israel. A lot of people are confused about this. Proxies are used for plausible deniability and it works extremely well. Per Richard Medhurst, the U.S. has been systematically gobbling up oil and gas reserves across the planet on behalf of, mainly, Chevron. All of our "allies" (read: proxies) including all of Europe, will be fed into the meat grinder just as Georgia was and Ukraine currently is. Now the whole world has to come to the U.S. to buy oil and gas at war-time prices. This is how WW2 began for the U.S. - with an oil blockade against Japan. This war is baked in per the 2009 roadmap document "Path to Persia", one which Berletic cites often. The proxies are left to deal with the backlash from their own populations as they prepare for war against their #1 trading partner, China in the case of Asia and Australia and Russia in the case of Europe. Just like after WW2, geography (2 oceans) will have the U.S. come out smelling like roses while the rest of the world is decimated. The main takeaway is that you will never understand this geopolitical reality if you are focusing on headlines and social media. The real story is told in these think tank documents and Senate hearings which nobody watches. I didn't want to do this because I'm not nearly as sharp as the two men I cited and can't do justice to their interpretation with my words. But you will find that these two men are thoroughly demonetized, world-class journalists.
In no way am I saying this as a criticism of your post, because I understand that this is awful and that we shouldn't be doing it, but isn't saying "the US is being an Oil Bully in the world" ...not new news?
Have you ever read Cat's Cradle in which there is an island with two quite opposite leaders vying for control... but really... what is going on is just fake narratives that the two smart leaders bring forth to divide, conquer, inspire, entertain and control the masses? While the leaders live the life fantastic?
Who wins every war? I guess we could call them "the banksters".
And really, the sad thing is that if the island people realized that they were actually in a war with the two leaders and not one another... There would probably be one or two days of a vacuum of power. And then the biggest psychopaths on the island would step into the power vacuum and the people would be worse off than before. The two leaders on the island aren't really evil. They are benevolent dictators. I suppose that is the best we can hope for.
(sorry, I know I'm jaded)
Back when leaders were given a solid liberal arts background, they used to be taught a term "Noblesse Oblige" which is the duty leaders have to their people, regardless of the leader's own personal goals. It is very bad karma to ignore this important role while enjoying the benefits of leadership.
As a "led person" (non-leader) I think your role is to refuse to do anything bad leaders say to do. You don't get out of the karma just because you were following orders.
I was just thinking that "Noblesse Oblige" is quite similar to the doctor's Hippocratic Oath. (which they need to take more seriously as well) "First do no harm."
lil chick,
Good to hear from you. You're right - the U.S. is doing what it has always done - the difference now is that this appears to be for all the marbles - one last shot for global hegemony before demographics make it impossible. Since the Nordstream pipeline was blown up by the U.S. under Biden, Europe is now dependent on the U.S. for its energy, and is in a race to rearm and go to war with Russia, the country which formerly supplied their cheap energy. The pace of Germany's rearmament alone is frightening. While E.U. leaders pretend as if the U.S. has abandoned them and they are on their own (they placate their own populations with this lie) the reality is what is called in the think tank documents "a division of labor". It's all perception management. Trump is playing a madman to the hilt and people are buying it. None of this is his idea, he's just pitch perfect for the role. You'll notice that the left wing media decries Trump and in the next breath decries Iran, Russia and China as "authoritarian regimes". The U.N. has been silent. Everyone is on board with WW3 and China is the ultimate target.
The U.S. vassal state known as Japan is rearming.
The U.S. proxy Ukraine is still warring on Russia after 12 years, and is in tatters. The U.S. is seeking to close off every alternative source of energy to its own, and doing it effectively. Chevron is inking deals all over the place. American boomers are excited about their 401ks, American liberals are saying "orange man bad" and American conservatives are myopically blaming Israel for this situation (tails don't actually wag dogs). One can see that this unprovoked war of aggression on Iran would be impossible without the contributions of the administrations which preceded him. The wars with Iraq and Afghanistan encircled Iran. Then Syria, under Obama, cleared the airspace. Now the Strait of Hormuz is doubly closed, and the strait of Malacca is next (your turn into the meat grinder, Japan).
WW3 has already started but just as happened with WW2, it will be with history to mark down the date of inception. Right now we're all just bitching about the price of gasoline.
I could go on a bit, but Brian Berletic does a much better job on his "The New Atlas" and Richard Medhurst laid it out brilliantly in his essay and documentary.
Cat's Cradle - I never read that but I see your point. If Putin and Xi Jinping are also just acting, then that only means we are even more sunk than I thought. Our real enemy is, as Eisenhower warned, the MIC.
The more people start noticing, the more they fight it. Limiting freedom of speech by laws, mass media propaganda, self proclaimed experts, etc.
Thank you for posting @joseph-6
Medhurst is excellent. Been reading him off and on a few years.
Michael Yon, Catherine Austin Fitts, Firas Modad and others are also excellent sources coming from various angles. The best we can do is triangulate from as many different angles as we can. Consider the blind men feeling all the different parts of the elephant claiming it is a different animal. If they were to move around and feel all the different parts (and not get stomped) they might get more accurate ideas.
As to laziness, glad you saw through that gaslighting. Disappointed that you let that projection work on you enough for you to summarize for a person too lazy to learn for themselves and bad faith enough to accuse others of their own faults.

Sasha Stone turned out to be a ride or die Trump supporter after Dems alienated her. Surprised to see her and her commenters go all Q-anon / Promethean in their blind zionist sycophancy. Libertarian, zdb and a few others are writing some insightful details and analysis in there.
Bottom line is the war can be fraudulent with real results. The folk paying for these wars are paying all sides. The purpose of a system is what it does. Trump and all are carefully avoiding winning in any regard. They are carefully working to destroy production. War, pestilence and famine are the means to control domestic populations. Make them demand the tyranny that would be near impossible to impose otherwise. If desired destroy domestic populations (usually the opposing nations' populations) to take their land, earned and so far unpaid benefits, wealth,.....
Glad to see you are reading more and learning more. Grateful as it helps me triangulate and learn more. Please keep farming more like Salatin (without outside feedstocks) and survive this latest wave of culling. See you around.
@joe2, I just want to clear the air, you posted on a thread that we declared was CLOSED, that is why your(single) post was deleted, however, the entire off-topic thread still remains (including your other posts to it) AND we created a whole new section for people to talk about the things you SEEMED TO WANT TO TALK ABOUT and yet you feel you were mistreated.
Do I have this right?
