The Inner Cabinet and the Outer Media

The Inner Cabinet and the Outer Media Edward Curtin “One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it — it was the black kitten’s fault entirely.” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass Anyone who is not sick at heart and raging over the slaughter of over 165 young Iranian girls at a school by the American-Israeli monsters waging war on Iran is depraved and evil. It sickens me to state something so obvious, but I am afraid it is true that many are not distraught by the news. A nod to “how terrible” and on with the war is a common response for those who even know about it, not just because of moral indifference but because of the acceleration of digital news reporting that disappears today before it has become tomorrow. The young girls are forgotten with each passing day in the U.S. and Israel – but not in Iran. For war criminals Trump and Netanyahu, the death of those children is a joy on the way to further slaughter of the innocent. On the other hand, there are many in this functionally illiterate U.S.A. with its functionally illiterate president who have probably never heard of this war crime. And U.S.-Israeli war crimes are so common that they come and go like ripples on a stream, like a scroll through a “smart phone.” Little penetrates the propaganda bubble, and when it does, it is quickly replaced by the illusion that once these bad guys are swept out of office these wars will end because our good guys will return in the game of musical chairs to make all copacetic. Peace will reign, as in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Gaza, etc. I repeat a question that I have asked before, but to what avail I know not: Why do Americans think the United States has 750 + military bases in over 80 countries, supported by a bi-partisan consensus? The answer is blatant except for idiots and those willfully blind, and there are plenty of both. The United States is an imperial warfare state and these bases exist to wage wars around the world, as the U.S. has done. End of story. The Jeffrey Epstein Files release, aside from diverting the public’s attention from Iran, Ukraine, etc., has caused many people to contemplate how certain rich and connected people conspire behind the scenes for nefarious sexual purposes but also to manipulate financial and political matters. To the most naïve, the naming of so many prominent people – university presidents, politicians, bankers, et al. – in this criminal club is very surprising. Yet, more perversely, the Epstein long-running serial (not the reality for the victims of the sexual abuse) is entertainment in Neil Postman’s sense of Amusing Ourselves to Death, the title of his prescient 1985 book wherein he argued television had redefined the modern sense of reality, truth, and intelligence; had achieved the status of myth, “a way of thinking so deeply embedded in our consciousness that it is invisible”; that had turned everything into entertainment. Narcoticized by their technological obsession, he argued, people were losing themselves in a fantasy world of unending diversions, as television news was becoming entertainment and all a show, the business of show business. In Postman’s words: “Americans are the best entertained and quite likely the least well-informed people in the Western World.” Facts, data, and the delusive “news of the day” were abundant, but all in the fragmented and pseudo context of televised amusement. One can only scream in accord when contemplating today’s digital internet Screen Society in which mini-televisions accompany people everywhere in the form of cell phones, keeping them constantly entertained with pointillistic nanosecond “news” catered to their personal tastes and devoid of any context. While the inner workings of the imperial ruling class might not usually involve as much sexual abuse as the Epstein Serial, or what the journalist Pepe Escobar calls “the Epstein Syndicate,” its members have long conspired to control their wealth, power, and political domination of the masses. Waging wars, globalizing their control (started greatly circa 1985), filling the coffers of the military industrial complex that they own, are prime goals. Many of these vile creatures, of course, in their hubris, thinking they are in full control, have entered a trap of international espionage and sexual blackmail, as is evident in the Epstein case, where the presumed controllers are the controlled. Despite their wealth and power, their little boy minds and sexual avidities have drawn them to “pleasure islands” where they have been exposed as jackasses braying their little boy innocence. They thought Epstein and his intelligence handlers in Israel, Britain, and the U.S were offering them deeper access to the Syndicate’s Inner Cabinet, but they failed to see the trap doors. Yet now that the Epstein “scandal” has received partial exposure, aside from the few that must be sacrificed to appease the public, most skate and profit mightily. It’s an old game of propaganda as palimpsest. Just the other day, I had coffee with a friend whose family ties to these imperial ruling class criminals go back more than a century. We discussed his life as a dissident within his wealthy family’s connections to the CIA, the Rockefellers, Morgans, Harvard, the Kennedy assassinations, the industrial corporations essential to the warfare state and massive profits (G.E., General Dynamics, Lockheed, etc.), Wall Street, the banks, corporate media, Big Tech, and on ad infinitum. Many details of a gross world of privilege, betrayal, and endless lies where all the insiders know and associate with each other despite different political parties; what, if you were a sensitive child with a conscience, would repulse you, as it did my friend. We could call it the Old School Wasp Ruling Class except that old is new and White Anglo Saxon was never just that but connected early on to Zionism and its wealthy supporters in and out of government, here and in Israel. Endless connections that most people alive today know nothing about. The hypocrisy involved is appalling and staggering. The moneyed elite’s hatred for ordinary people is extreme, and their use of the word “democracy” to cover their crimes is routine. Their proclivities have been inculcated in them within the unreal bubble of filthy lucre and its cultural trappings by their parents and reinforced by those toadies who kiss their asses for access to their worlds of ease and glitz. The same is true for the new billionaires who have recently joined the club and are surrounded by sycophants and tongue hangers. One of the saddest realities of political life is the way people are fooled again and again by the propaganda these people and their media at the entertainment circuses that they own and that pass lies for news feed them. That it is the same slop dished out endlessly from different media cooks means nothing. The conservative media simply shout for war and more war, while the liberal play both sides (anti-war and pro-war) against the middle in a hypocritical manner to support the wars that the U.S. wages endlessly. The most insidious garbage is swallowed by those who consider themselves “intellectuals” and highly educated. When my friend mentioned one of his parents’ famous associates, Walter Lippmann, who would stay at their home when he was young, I was reminded of Edward Bernays and others who laid the foundations for today’s mind control. Lippmann, a prominent journalist termed the “Father of Modern Journalism,” and Bernays, the so-called “Father of Public Relations,” were two heavyweight insiders who, beginning in the 1920s laid the groundwork for U.S. government and corporate propaganda today. Their work extended into the 1970s. Bernays, the paradigm for the propagandist on the inside, and Lippmann, the model for the slick journalist on the outside, each worked his side of the invisible fence [emphasis added]: The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country… …We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet. Edward Bernays penned those words in 1928 to open his book, Propaganda. They perfectly summarize the truth of how the US is ruled. Bernays was Sigmund Freud’s double nephew (his mother was Freud’s sister and his father was Freud’s wife’s brother). He was born in Vienna, Austria, but his family moved to New York when he was very young. He worked as a propagandist for the US government during WWI. He coined the term “the engineering of consent,” and for many decades worked behind the scenes for the major corporations (General Electric, the American Tobacco Company, United Fruit, etc.), politicians, and the US government to manipulate the public’s mind – e.g. convincing women to smoke by calling cigarettes “torches of [women’s] freedom” and helping the CIA in its 1954 coup in Guatemala against the democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz, and so much more. He was a master shadowy manipulator and anti-democrat who served the interests of the imperial ruling class and was highly respected by it for his techniques of propaganda and mind control that rendered reality “virtual” in the service of power. Lippmann, while considered a journalist and public intellectual, and who, unlike Bernays who worked almost exclusively behind the scenes as a member of the “inner cabinet,” labored for “the inner cabinet” mostly from the outside-in through his newspaper columns. In books, which the average newspaper reader didn’t read, he advocated a similar elitist credo as Bernays, advocating that the government use symbols and movies to prevent the public from independent thought and to control them emotionally. In an early book, Drift and Mastery: An Attempt to Diagnose the Current Unrest (1914), whose words could have been written today by snide elitists, the CIA and its assets (and have in similar words), he wrote: The sense of conspiracy and secret scheming [among the public] which transpires is almost uncanny. ‘Big Business,’ and its ruthless tentacles, have become the material for the feverish fantasy of illiterate thousands thrown out of kilter by the rack and strain of modern life. It is possible to work yourself into a state where the world seems a conspiracy and your daily going is beset with an alert and tingling sense of labyrinthine evil. Everything askew – all the frictions of life are readily ascribed to a deliberate evil intelligence, and men like Morgan and Rockefeller take on attributes of omnipotence, that ten minutes of cold sanity would reduce to barbarous myth. Both Lippmann and Bernays thought of ordinary people as nasty creatures that had to be controlled through lies and deception. They were pioneers in the inside-outside technique of propaganda that has been used for a long time by the government and their media allies to confound ordinary people. By inside-outside I mean that for propaganda to be effective, those using it need to have many working secretly to develop and exercise techniques of deception like Bernays and the CIA, and public media figures like Lippmann who reinforce the lies but in a seemingly “reasonable” way from the outside. The latter group is employed at the large media companies that are owned by the very rich outright or by massive international media monopolies. The CIA and other American intelligence agencies secretly develop propaganda techniques and have their people placed within all departments of the government (see Understanding Special Operations: 123 ff.) and throughout the mass media to work the public from the outside. Of course, as is evident from the Israeli genocide in Gaza and its joint evil war with the U.S. against Iran, Israel and its Mossad play a large part in this as well, not only influencing Trump and the U.S. Congress, but much of the U.S. government and media, where they have placed many assets. A homely basketball analogy is apt in describing how the propaganda game is played: One successful basketball strategy known as “Inside-Out” is to have players drive to the basket to begin the game, which forces the defense to contract near the basket, which in turn opens up scoring opportunities from the outside. It is simple but effective, depending, of course, that the players can shoot and make some baskets. Enter Trump, who seems to be and may be clinically insane or just plain evil like his Israeli counterpart Netanyahu, and who on the face of it seems to contradict much of this inside-out approach to controlling the masses. Like a bull escaped from a pen, he just bellows threats and wages wars at home and abroad, seemingly not caring whether or not he convinces the population that his actions are just and in their interest. It’s as if he is announcing to all who voted for him, that they were fools to believe for a moment that he wouldn’t start any new wars and would end America’s “endless wars,” and to those who didn’t vote for him, “Fuck you, too.” In the past, presidents felt compelled to try to justify through propaganda the wars and coups they waged, from Vietnam to Iraq to Libya, etc. No matter how obvious their lies, like Colin Powell holding up a little vial to show how Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (which he later said was a mistake and not a lie to cover his complicity), they told them and used all the propaganda at their disposal to make them sound true, having “journalist” friends and assets provide justifications. Trump seemingly doesn’t care. Some say that is because he is a complete anomaly and was able to twice become president by some strange twist of fate. If that is so, it would be the first and second time in modern history that it happened. A man with no political experience, a comical reality-tv joke, a bombastic fat party boy with weird dyed hair who talks like a version of an East Coast Valley Girl, a womanizer, a very wealthy New York real estate wheeler and dealer, etc. gets the votes of middle Americans who are losing their farms and factory jobs and are angry at the government. All sorts of explanations have been given for this “anomaly,” except that it was not one, except in appearance. Before Trump was first elected in 2016, it was accepted that one could never be elected president of the U.S. unless one checked off a list of boxes approved by the inner controllers of the Democratic and Republican parties. Independent or small party candidates like Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, Jesse Jackson were never given a real chance but were viewed as spoilers. In 2000, Trump entered the primaries seeking the Reform Party’s nomination but dropped out. He had no chance, even if he had won it, and he knew it. Then came sixteen years of burnishing his establishment credentials. So by 2016, and then again in 2020 and 2024, he was the Republican Party’s nominee, clearly a member of the establishment’s two-party club that had (and has) a lock on the presidency. He was an insider. So if this insider is no longer following the traditional propaganda script of inside/outside, it is highly likely that those who control the political parties for the imperial ruling class have invented a new technique of mind control to serve their purposes. Since more and more people are starting to question the conventional propaganda as U.S. society cracks up, a new technique must be added to the old – a turning of things inside-out and further out, so to speak. Give Trump free range to say and do the most outlandish things, the things that many have come to suspect were previously said only by the hidden manipulators like Bernays and the CIA, and one side of the western “free press/media” will rip him for his grotesquely brazen mouth and actions, while the other will praise him. The latter will claim that he has finally liberated the country, while the former will rip him as a maniac. Both, however, owned by the same imperial ruling class that might disagree over tactics but not U.S. long term strategy, and knowing Trump got elected because he is a political insider which they must deny, will be satisfied that the masses are confused, angry, and divided, and therefore more easily controlled. They call it “transparency,” and no one has to answer the question of why, under Republican and Democratic presidents, the U.S. has 750 + military bases in over 80 countries all around the world from which they have been waging wars for many decades, some of which have recently been attacked by Iran, after the U.S./Israel waged the current savage war of aggression against it in a continuation of The Great Game. Orwell called it Doublethink in Nineteen Eighty Four: To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself — that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink. Yes, we are through the looking-glass, but even Alice finally woke up before it was too late.

Well, America is going down with manners. IRAN SAYS STRAIT OF HORMUZ CLOSED ONLY TO US, ISRAEL & ALLIES WHO ARE SUPPORTING THEM IN THIS WAR. That the Strait is closed is propaganda in support of US efforts to build a coalition against Iran. So I guess it’s not mined, after all. Iran also denies responsibility for some of the attacks on GCC oil facilities. —- UAE reportedly played a part in attack on Kharg. Will they pay for that? Ah yes, here’s the payback: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday that US interests in the United Arab Emirates, including ports, docks and military locations, are legitimate targets after US forces attacked Iranian islands, Iranian state media reported. In its statement, IRGC urged residents in UAE to evacuate ports, docks, and US military shelters to avoid civilian casualties. —- Of Israel’s two largest cities, Tel Aviv is taking the most pounding. Ironically, Tel Aviv is the more conservative –less religiously extreme. Jerusalem is more the home of Zionism. 1 million Israelis emigrated in the past few years; apparently mostly those from the “Left” who were trying to protect the Palestinians, living in mixed neighborhoods, etc.– just couldn’t take what was happening militarily. https://www.972mag.com/israeli-emigration-record-numbers/ — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has condemned Israeli strikes on fuel depots in Tehran, labelling the actions a violation of international law and a form of “ecocide”. In a statement on X, Araghchi said, “Residents face long-term damage to their health and well-being.” “Contamination of soil and groundwater could have generational impacts,” he added. “Israel must be punished for its war crimes.” —- TURKEY: ISRAEL MIGHT COMMIT NEW GENOCIDE IN LEBANON “”We are frankly concerned (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu is moving toward a new genocide under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah,” Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said, urging the international community to “take immediate action”. https://www.newarab.com/news/us-strikes-irans-kharg-island-set-deploy-marines-gulf Lebanon’s health ministry said Saturday that Israeli strikes have killed 826 people, including 65 women and 106 children, since the start of the war with Hezbollah, adding that 2,009 others were wounded, including 31 paramedics from a healthcare facility that was hit. —– “If Iranian energy facilities are targeted, our forces will target American companies’ facilities in the region, or companies in which the US holds shares,” he warned, while vowing that Tehran would “act cautiously to ensure that densely populated areas are not targeted”. — Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi “Of Israel’s two largest cities, Tel Aviv is taking the most pounding. Ironically, Tel Aviv is the more conservative – less religiously extreme. Jerusalem is more the home of Zionism.” I am not sure that’s the case. Tel Aviv was virtually built from scratch by the Israelis whereas Jerusalem has thousands of years heritage Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We are happy to have you here Thom. Micro-managing and correcting all tiny details. Nicely written. “ecocide” will turn into a “ecoterrorism” for normies. WSJ Reporting 2500 Marines on the Way to Kharg Apparently on USS Tripoli out of Okinawa. Frmr Major Scott Ritter said even 5,000 Marines couldn’t take something as big as Kharg Island, and the possibility of catastrophe is large. He doesn’t believe they’ll actually do it, just grandstanding. I know nada about military, but surely the Iranians are dug in on Kharg & a lot of marines wd die. And even if we took Kharg it wdn’t clear passage thru the Straits. I heard somewhere that Trump’s war against Iran is designed to fail. For some weird reason. Maybe the whole thing is to just saw chaos in the whole ME. Set them back. They dont need to ‘win’. Same with Ukraine. Why havent Russia finished this off long time ago? Exactly Erik. TPTB manipulated the world into WWI & WWII. (Wm Engdahl’s book A Century of War is an education) So not so difficult to engineer the Iran War. Probably why they engineered the Presidency of Trump– he makes such a great patsy! Certainly the reason they formed Israel & weaponized the Jewish religion was to destabilize the Middle East. Purpose of the war is to collapse the world economy & sow chaos so they can present their “Solution.” Don’t know how far they’ll take the collapse; don’t know if other alliances will look promising in the short-run– but TPTB will be trying to use whatever is emerging. I feel most uneasy about the way “nuclear” is being thrown around. Agree. Yes, it is extremely weird times we live in. Also the Winter Olympics jumping around with artificial Injection needles in the opening ceremony and all that stuff. It looks like everybody is just dragging time. With pint point strikes and media campaigns and wars. I mean the figures 1000 is dead and 2300 are wounded are not millions as we know it from Mao’s march and WWI and WWIII. All right. But the Derivative bomb we can agree is there. They have to do something about that, other than kicking the can down the road. So QR code on everything and digital wallets………we cannot all sit 10 hrs a day and look into a TV screen. Somebody like me will be out there to hear the bird and see the spring in the garden. All right, but mankind have probably been through worse in previous times. NUCLEAR? Daily Mail, among others, reports DOOMSDAY PLANES: “Specifically, the planes serve as a flying radio station and command center for the president and the Secretary of War, carrying special antennas that can even reach nuclear-armed submarines deep underwater. Along with being able to talk to satellites, land-based military posts and underground missile facilities, the Mercury fleet is capable of controlling a nuclear strike should World War III break out and the US was already under attack. Two E-6B Mercury flights were spotted over the US on March 2, one traveling from the Gulf Coast and landing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland and the other taking off from and later landing back at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Since those flights, there have been reports from military news outlets of more E-6B launches heading across the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf. The Pentagon declined to comment on the reported flights ‘due to operations security.'” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15628511/trump-doomsday-nuclear-command-planes-middle-east.html If US lobbed a missile or drone at California from a submarine & said–just as they suspected– Iran had done it how could we demonstrate otherwise? I suppose this could be a ridiculous pretext to nuke Iran. If Nixon could reach the moon with an Iphone, I guess there is no bottom limits on the Americans fumbling around and throw new billions of dollares down the drain. Local artifacts and local porn videos in a plastic bag in beach sandals on the run to the helicopter: Here a nazi commie enemy boy being questioned: Could it be true that Netanyahu is dead? https://old.bitchute.com/video/txbddffrPFQO/ Hard to tell, huh? There’s so much AI fakery. I guess since they couldn’t get rid of the internet they decided to make it unreliable. There’s at least one video of “Netanyahu” which isn’t him. Well, we can’t say we weren’t warned. During the election campaign, Off Guardian writers were fairly unanimous in saying that Trump wasn’t the real deal and/or it made no difference who is President. Eisenhower was most prescient of all about the ‘military-industrial complex’ but then he knew better than anyone. Then just after that the Kennedy murder, basically a military coup in disguise. Without getting into the debate whether this Netanyahu’s is AI or not … why would he “casually” stroll into a “coffee shop” … & not attend his security council meetings or have a press conference. The coffee didn’t spill, and after he drank it, its volume didn’t decrease. And there are many observations Even Hitler would not have declared publicly to prosecute WAR and DEATH “just for fun”. Meanwhile, everything and everyone in the US are in their theater seats enjoying popkorn and koke while the world is torched to cinders by their glorious “leader” class. Just beyond all comment. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-says-iranian-oil-facility-043310652.html Entertainment Death Star US Empire’s passengers have become so oblivious to everything, that each 5 minute period has become a Kasino betting op on “the” outcome.

Neil Postman’s sense of Amusing Ourselves to Death, Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business. What a great book. Thank you Edward Curtin! ***** Like the Star Wars® “Death Star” the USA was an off shore construct created for the same purpose. The bogus mystery school handshake club was used as an ideological indoctrination breading ground, union hall and shadow force from which the “USA Death Star” has been operated directed and aimed. The inhabitants of the 51 states amalgamated into this effort have little if anything to do with the higher functions of this technological killing machine other than to shovel coal from its tender into its boiler. Trump represents the latest villain “Darth Drumpf” to be placed at the helm of the USS Enterprise as a “dis”figured head. Meanwhile the Hal and his programmers behind the scenes have total control over all operational status and control. The game has always been rigged. If you are blaming Trump you have missed the point. Hellyweird and Pedowood have always had a love for making horror films and have created enough of an appetite for them amongst the masses. “Amused to death” indeed pass the artificial flavoured popcorn and the diet coke. We have been through this before in history. Rome’s decay and fall, Babylon, WWI, WWII, etc. No problem man. Previously are battles have been Man vs Man. Man vs Intelligent Machine presents a whole other dimension potentially if the hype is all real. I am not saying that we can not triumph over AI controlled terminators we will need to adapt ourselves to that fight before we will be able to imop (assuming the hype is real) Maybe you are right. I just think there are enough to fight against already. Cuba collapsing, US Special Military operation ? It if further from Washington than Ukraine is from Moscow, but Mar-O-Lago not. Goose, gander right? Sphere’s of influence? Ok, than US out of whole Europe, abolish NATO. Dancing with the Bear is history, with the Dragon (+Taiwan) is now. Cuba’s been collapsing since the missile crisis. Since Fidel. Viva Fidel, Viva La Revolução. Viva Cuba! Its now official: The war against Iran is NOT about bringing Regine Change, it’s to “create the conditions for the Iranian people to rise up and rid themselves of The Regime.” Then, like the reason the US gave for ending its War against Vietnam, the US can “Withdraw With Honour”… ie. it’s an escape clause… In the meantime, thousands of US soldiers are being shipped to the War Zone – encouraging speculation that Uncle Sam is gonna launch a land invasion… But if. IF. the Us has created conditions for the Iranian People to rise up against Their Oppressors, the US forces can all return home Triumphant, and President Trump will be feted – even given a ticker-take parade in New York – for having saved the lives of all those American soldiers who’re enroute to The War Zone… Foreign land troops dont have a chance in Iran. But I guess thats why they will go there. Its a war designed to fail. Only to create complete chaos. no one has to answer the question of why, under Republican and Democratic presidents, the U.S. has 750 + military bases in over 80 countries all around the world. 🔥 Easy question.

What??? “the ancient old culture in Iran” ceased to exist when it turned to islam. And the “torture under the Shah” pales into insignificance when compared to what the replacement regime inflicts on anyone who disagrees with them, or just take a dislike to one morning. The problem is you cant prove that. You do not even try = You are lightweight. It doesn’t take much research. But that seems a bit much to ask of you. Who needs ‘international sympathy’ anyway? tomahawk missile; Iran doesn’t have any. You forgot your imaginary Iranian mate also said. No 17 invented excuse? Already four countries are boycotting the footballing World Cup in the USA, more countries need to take the moral stance and boycott the US if their matches are in the States, all the games should be moved to Canada and Mexico, with the final being played in Mexico. Trump said it was “A Great Honor to Kill Iranians.” Source. ‘Great honour to kill Iranians’: Trump escalates rhetoric as tensions with Tehran rise – The Statesman Yes boycott the world cup. That will show them. Trump’s good at trying to hurt other nations economies such as huge tariff rises, the shoe in now almost on the other foot now, with Iran using the illegal war against it to – wage economic war on the US and its, belligerent obedient minions nations, boycotting the World Cup in the States would further damage the US economy via tourism. What about the earlier barring of the Russian team (more than once) on the claims of illegal drugs? Most of the sports teams are laughable, full of privileged fake participants who are outnumbered by support personnel and officials, all on a “pork barrel” trip. We know FIFA is corrupt, the head of FIFA Gianni Fantino, presented Trump with a peace medal – sadly sports people wait all their lives to play in world tournaments, but incidents out with their control – often rob them of their chance to display their skills. Tour de force as usual Mr. Curtin. Thank you. I’d never read Neil Postman but will from now on. When Edward spoke about the discussion with his insider friend, it reminds me of a personal wish that we could get a recording of some of their club discussions so the public could get a Horse’s Mouth documentation of the kind of contempt this class has for humanity. With the hope that the normies would finally get a clue and finally stop cooperating in their own demise. [An excellent open door in this realm was the film “The One Percent” (2006) by a son of one of the PTB. Available on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmlX3fLQrEc%5D Perplexing now is, what symptom is the placing of psychoT disclosing to us about this class? Previous to 911, all their Gremlin works have been largely screened out by slow, analog, hit or miss access. The assassinations were obvious but cloaked by CIA’s “conspiracy theory” conspiracy. Each president after Carter has left few doubts, but Trump appears a desperate ploy to see how much blatant, exposed evil they can get away with before we declare continuous non-consent. A few questions arise about what drives the extreme nature of their T strategy: Imminent collapse of their financialized global casino reality? The Great Reset as solution, a pipe dream with no steam? They needed a giant chaos pause (2016 – 28) with post crash poverty slaughter extended; LOCKDOWN police state exercises; random gestapo violence & detentions; war everywhere at once; in order to have enough time for an AI overlord digital virtual reality put in place to create the FINAL LOCKDOWN SOLUTION? Fears that the above might not work when they’ll have to implement mass UBI and have a population of totally pissed off displaced commoners with 8 hrs a day to research just what the fuck happened to them? All of the above? Musk has them thinking they can run whole corporations of AI robots by themselves from the convenience of their auto-driving vehicle or at home office space. No need to even show up anywhere. What could go wrong? It all seems to me, at this time, a PTB’s house of cards. They have driven themselves, at light speed, into a cement corner called a fully occupied, proprietary Earth, ruled by analog limits they just cannot accept. Bon appetit. Imho. The first time since this war started, we finally get to see an article from Off Guardian regarding Trump and Satanyehua ‘s involvement. It’s nice to read an article or listen to something without supposed experts telling us the poor Trump was lied to or misled in this area. The others can take some good advice from Edward. Great article, Ed. My issue regarding this children thing. As this was about children , don’t you think you’re being a hypocrite Mr Curtis without mentioning RFK Jr .? Your Children’s Health Defense , RFK Jr., has constantly reposted the pro-war drum. We don’t need reminding about what a lover of all earth’s children said about Palestinian children. You have RFK Jr. quoted in your book. That is like having a Tony Blair endorsement. Tony killed 500.000. warpspeed and Rfk position since standing next to Trump as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has killed more children and stands to outdo Tony Blair and George Bush by at least 10,000 fold. In the next run of prints, will you get rid of his quote? Why haven’t you gone into Amazon, amended the quote on the digital copies. That is the only thing I really feel you fudged yourself up on. Your not into caring about children, if you endorse RFK jr or Trump or they endorse you. You are totally fake man. You have outed yourself. In the 4 psyops thread you’re in there saying “the war is fake” and criticizing OG for saying it’s real, but on THIS thread you’re taking a totally different line. Wtf? Why are you screaming at OG for saying the war is real on one thread and then sucking up to this guy also saying the war is real on this thread? And why are you lying and claiming OG say Trump isn’t involved when their line is famously “they’re all in it together”? You are a fake entity put here to post bullshit shade. Bottom line is that things have moved away from warmongering to benefit the criminal US state and moved entirely toward funding warmongering to benefit the criminal state of Israel and the global Zionist billionaire cabal. This is of course unspoken by those on the inside. To say that would be declaring treasonous behaviour and that the USA Constitution is dead. Well the USA Constitution is to all purposes suffering heart failure and needing a few sessions of CPR in the Supreme Court. But until the USA non-Jewish supermajority face up to the reality, they are going to continue to be nazi foot soldiers funding and empowering an evil gang of Zionist monsters who expect to rule the world from a population base of 2% or less. That of course can only be done through tyranny. There is no democracy where 98% of people vote to be slaves to racist psychopaths. The problem is that US people still hope that they can have loyal representatives and Presidents. They can’t. Their entire system is depraved, corrupt beyond belief and beyond repair short of a civil war. That civil war has to be non-Jewish Americans against Zionist scum. Which includes Jared Kushner, Lindsey Graham, Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, Miriam Adelson and many, many more. That’s the war that has to be fought and anyone stupid enough to think otherwise should ask if they are sufficiently compos mentis to be worthy of a vote. Government, academia and propaganda may convince many that race does not exist, while anti-“semitism” is different from race or religion. DJT is the fastest wrecking ball to Uncle Sam’s physically and morally empty imperial fort Knox: kudos. With sleepy Joe or Camel Harris the decay would take decades, be happy. Been re-reading Dan Kovalik’s 2018 book “The Plot to Attack Iran” At the time, written as a warning of what might happen. Now it reads as if it could have been written yesterday. Very prescient. A good historical overview of the CIA and Deep State’s role in regard to Iran, dating back decades https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/9781510739345/the-plot-to-attack-iran/ Two tragedies. The tragedy of war and the tragedy of the Folks around the world who do the right thing but are usurped by the Psychos who rule. Excellent article – what I take from it in a basic sense is that American’s must become more aware of what’s going on, in an attempt to change things – for only they can take back their country – maybe many American’s are quite happy with US hegemony – afterall as long as things are cheap back home, food, gas etc, why would they really care about their armed forces war crimes abroad. As you say we are distracted 24/7 by forms of entertainment on cell phones, tablets, laptops, tv’s, cinema etc – and of course we are lied to by the MSM, violence in entertainment is used to desensitise us from violence in reality, basically if it doesn’t affect me I don’t really care is the attitude, that has been instilled in us now. It is an uphill task in US, given these: -. deliberate degradation of literacy and general knowledge -. overwhelming and seductive propaganda, including AI -. for the majority, slavery, i.e., destitution or the threat of it. Yes it appears to be – to me at least, a monumental task, to turn things around. 175 pure and innocent little school girls slaughtered as a ritual sacrifice? Seeking a blessing or absolution. That’s what I try not to think about. Maybe it was a targeting error. Or maybe the Inside-Outers are far more evil, in thought and practice, than we’ve been permitted to observe or consider. Or maybe it didn’t happen? There are no independent sources in Iran at the moment so we (you) are relying on stories from facebook and the Iranian regime. Here is from the source. Click on the videos, hear the screams and tell us it didnt happen? Do it! https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/02/764881/murder-innocence-israeli-us-aggression-southern-iran-school-killed-165-children An Iranian source. I did say independent, if you care to read my comment. Who knows where that clip is from. It looks more like Pakistan than Iran (but I am not saying it is, it could be many places). Do not believe everything you read, especially on facebook and the BBC. I always check the opposite opinion, and preferable 3 opposite opinions with each their share in the story, before I go to any conclusions. I am not saying it happened, but I conclude both Iran where it happened, and US who did it, both declare it factually happened. Then I check OffG who insinuate it could be an AI production and you who says it did not happen. Then I conclude the probability it happened in real reality is high. Ok it’s settled then, O Oracle who knows all. Excuse me but OG have not ever said the horrible massacre was the AI. Not true. Please stick to facts. My formulation may have been wrong. I were referring to this article here about the possibility the war could be an agreed/psy-op/AI product. A History in 4 Psy-Ops: Has Iran ALWAYS Been a Member of the Club? – OffGuardian I apologize for any inconvenience. IAFAI – my bank, telco, etc etc etc all use IAFAI. If i was still a Member of The Workforce, i’d like to see if my boss would accept AIFAI when i take a sickie… (And PS: The bank, etc etc dont mean it)… I think you mean https://iaifi.org/ . Oh come on man. I’m not saying the bombing wasn’t real, I don’t know enough to say anything, but the screams prove it to you? No the screams proves nothing. I am working with risk analysis and calculations, and probabilities. Just saying the probability it happened after an analysis is big, but still open for another conclusion, until it is nailed as fact with 7 inches nails. There are no “independent sources” reporting the THOUSANDS of Gazan children slaughtered by The Only ME Democracy because the aggressor has taken out over 200 journalists who were there to report the slaughter. Amazing how the corporate propaganda media can cite “reliable” or “independent” sources and the claims are automatically accepted Eye witnesses or the common guy on the streets are normally the most reliable witnesses, because they have no share in the manipulative business. But they are not that easy to locate and know who is who. Yeh, you’re right ! Most evenings they get their 15-seconds of fame in local TV “News” coverage of some socially dis-harmony causing event – they are called neighbours. They watch their neighbours so that when one brings media attention to the neighbourhood they offer themselves as reliable witnesses, or independent sauces, who’ll confirm whatever the media wants to hear to frame the story about the social harmony disrupter fiend… I get your sarcasm. Its not people who see TV, but people who actually are on the spot and have been there a long time. Also organisations (sport,religous, culture) who live there and is not involved are normally good sources because they do experience it first hand without being politically involved. You seem to forget the 1400 innocents murdered by terrorists. And the ongoing rocket and suicide bombings and other attacks over decades. If you experienced anything close to that you would be baying for blood. Israel has responded to remove a threat to their existence. And they have been very considerate about it too – what other military in the world, ever warns the enemy before an attack? As for ‘journalists’, find one that doesn’t write opinion pieces instead of reporting facts, and you might have a point. “1400” ??? Didnt you know that after Is***l deducted around 200 badly burnt Palestinian bodies, the final Official count is about 1148 ? Didnt you know that intensive investigations by the Is***li press points to most of the latter were most likely killed by the IDF ? Did you know that all the atrocity propaganda about decapitated babies, oven-roasted babies, mass rapes, was total concoction, according to investigations by the Is***li press ? .. The Is***li press reports from INSIDE Is***l. Would you say it’s a “reliable sauce”, or do you prefer to pick and choose which sauce you wanna believe ?…. But WAIT ON ! You fallback position is “independent sauces” – so why are you citing Is***li hasbara Facts ? Are you a bot ? No, I am not a bot. There were many reports from many different news sources, many of them even hostile to Israel. Some of them even briefly (very briefly) sympathised with Israel at the time. Not sure how you came up with your ‘official count’, but it seems to me that you are OK with over a thousand murders, if they are Jews. Would that make you a hypocrite or racist? Ask Grok. Grok Knows (Everything)). Its an icon like May Lai massacre, Fallujah massacre, Abu Ghraib torture, etc. Whether or not it happened or whether it was a targeting error. it will be remembered as an icon for this US/Israel – Iran war. US stroke twice ref to own info. First massacre on the school and its children and teachers, and 40 min after one more strike to kill all the nurses, doctors, ambulances, helpers who ran to help the wounded. So that the wounded girls would suffer maximum. It doesnt matter whether May Lai, Fallujah, Abu Ghraib or the Iran girl school massacres was real or psy-ops. US wanted them all to happen whether on screen or in real. This is what matters. The ultimate perversion. Who is going along with these perversions? Most countries in EU, all States in US, many people around the world, praise and worship this ultimate perversion as the Author describe. Why? 24 And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Walk in peace with your hard-on Richard this is what the US does now, its no coincidence as to why the US has countless military bases around the globe – our host for this thread highlighted as to why, they are staging posts – to attack or to intimidate nations that have stood up to US belligerence. The illegal war on Iran – is just the latest of a long line of attacks on nations that either wouldn’t comply with US wishes – or are seen as a threat to US hegemony in any particular region of the world. The US is now a military empire – its trillion dollar military traverses the world seeking out opportunities for its ever greedy corporations – these corporations dish out backhanders to the politicians and facilitators – whilst the average American soldier dies on the battlefield for them, and back home the US civilian population rights are always under threat. “Anyone who is not sick at heart and raging over the slaughter of over 165 young Iranian girls at a school by the American-Israeli monsters waging war on Iran is depraved and evil.” Do you actually believe what you write? Do you check facts before going on an uninformed rant? First it was 40, then Facebook upped it to 70, then the BBC to 140 and now you waffling about 165. I am not going to say a school was not hit, it may well have been – after all, there is no limit to American military incompetence – but apply a bit of critical thinking here – 1) A Saturday – weekend (yes in Iran too) – school closed 2) Ramadan – school closed 3) In Ramadan, Muslims sleep at home all day and eat all night, so no one at the school! But an empty school does not make for headlines in the BBC or the other muslim apologist media does it Nicely dictated by PC Plod? In the horrific fishbowl called rolling news it is hardly surprising that as facts emerge and are spun ii is a waste of time trying to freeze reality at some arbitrary point and call that truth. Q1: Is it truthful, ie is it convincing, to hypothesise that a smart missile might deliberately be aimed at a school? Q2: Rather than sleeping all day maybe children were celebrating Ramadan on a Saturday morning in much the same way as the local primary school to me might host an Easter Fair? Answers: 1. yes, emphatically. This is what the West does. 2. I don’t know You obviously know nothing about Ramadan or I might say the middle east. The ONLY time Ramadan is truly celebrated is when it ends (Eid) Ramadan – school closed. NOT TRUE In Ramadan, Muslims sleep at home all day and eat all night. NOT TRUE. Businesses still need to operate, and people need to shop and do normal things That ‘s like saying celebrating fasting during Lent means we sleep all day and don’t go to work. Islam and its different variations are celebrated all over the world , like Christianity. If your point is valid, then why hasn’t Iran stopped the war due to EA2010 or the NATO charter on religion ? or organized a armistice. Re : faith In Duesism Electricity on Shabbat refers to the various rules regarding the use of electrical devices by Dews who observe Shabbat. Why has the war not been stopped as they cant touch metal? OK, I over stated a little. Agreed, not ALL Muslims sleep all day and eat all day during Ramadan, but any that can, will. Schools do indeed close during Ramadan in the middle east – VERY TRUE “why hasn’t Iran stopped the war” – because if, as a Muslim you die during ramadan, you go straight to ‘heaven’. No judgement or waiting, just straight to the 72 virgins and 28 little boys. That’s for the male Muslims anyway. It is not so clear what female ones get. I have no idea why you included the bit titled “Re : faith In Duesism” It is completely irrelevant here. – George Orwell Not relevant. I said: Do you check facts before going on an uninformed rant? I also said: There are no independent sources in Iran at the moment I just ask for some critical thinking before repeating what is very likely lies. Note here, I am open minded. If it can be shown to have happened, then I will not deny it. But until then, I will be very sceptical. If your rhetoric follows the Israeli model then you will next tell us that the population of the school increased during the attack. You seem to be lacking comprehension or you are just ignoring reality. I said “Note here, I am open minded. If it can be shown to have happened, then I will not deny it. But until then, I will be very sceptical.” And, I am not sure what Israeli rhetoric you are talking about. They seem to be quite open minded too – neither denying it happened or accepting the Iranian reports which in the past have been lies. One of the more entertaining Israeli rhetorical tricks is to say that there can’t be a geocide in Gaza because “statistics show” that the population is increasing. So I’m guessing that what’s happening is like that Mickey Mouse scene in Fantasia where he chops a dancing broom and it turns into two dancing brooms etc. Any time now this miraculous phenomenon will be transferred to Iran. All of which foolishness is an indication of Israeli “open mindedness”. But we all know you’re a Zionist spook. What an interesting reply. Firstly lets start with ‘Genocide’. One definition is this: “Genocide is the deliberate, systematic, and intentional destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group” Israel responded to a terrorist attack and an ongoing threat. There is no attempt to totally eliminate or remove any group. In fact Israel includes all groups – even so called Palestinians – in their government and society. You may argue they are not always treated fairly or equally, but that is another subject completely. Ask yourself which group has the avowed aim of the complete annihilation of the other – and frequently states it and chants it? Hint – it is NOT Israel. Which military, indeed what military anywhere issues warnings before attacks? If the so called Palestinians wanted peace an prosperity, they could have had it decades ago. But instead of using the untold billions in aid money to build, they produced rockets and dug attack tunnels. Now lets move on to your other interesting statement: “But we all know you’re a Zionist spook.” Do you even know what a Zionist is? Originally they were a group that fought the Roman occupation of Judea. They were defeated at the battle of Masada. In the aftermath, the Romans renamed Judea to Palestine. That appealed to the Christians later on as it trivialised the Jewish identity, but it didn’t change the fact that the area – much larger than it is now – was home to Jews for millennia. In modern terms, A Zionist is a person who supports the movement for Jewish self-determination and the right of the Jewish people to a sovereign state in their ancestral homeland, the Land of Israel. What is so bad about that? And by the way, I am neither Jewish or a spook. I do stand with Israel in it’s determination to exist peacefully. And, ultimately that is all they are asking for. If you want, think of Israel like a hornet’s nest. You can walk past it day after day with no issues. In fact the hornets are helpful in that they destroy pests. But poke that nest and you WILL be stung. Finally, I apologise for the length of the post, and that it is a bit discontiguous. It is difficult to condense so much into a few words. Israel “responded” to an attack that they knew about long in advance, did nothing to stop and joined in with in the killing of their own people. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html A process of “ignoring” which was continued even up until three months before the attack when there were indications that the plan was about to be put into action. Well, perhaps Israel was frozen in horror at the very mention of paragliders? Also, I care as little for “avowed aims” as I do about self-serving arguing over the minutiae of definitions or arguments over what some group originally purported to be. I can see what Israel is doing to Gaza and to the Palestinians. Just as I can see the endless dissimulations you engage in which is what Zionist spooks do. You don’t seem to be very interested in rational discussions, so let me ask you one simple question – Why do you and many others on this site hate Jews so much? What have they done to you? (sorry that’s 2 questions) “hate Jews” And there it is. The bottom of the barrel. Yes, quite interesting. Revealing. You still have not answered the question. It seems to me you are product of 2000 years of church indoctrination – “The Jews are evil because they killed Jesus” Forgetting the technicalities like it was the Romans who actually did the deed, if Jesus had not been killed, then the cult of the Nazrani would never have morphed into Christianity with all it’s hypocrisy and occasional good. What religion would you have been then? Christians should thank the Jews, not curse them. And ponder this Jesus was a Jew too. Your free speech is valid. If I was to call this about some rave in alleged, allegedrapes, allegedkidnaps and burnt out cars that look like CGI and then the ridiculous hand-gliders 40 beaded babies regarding the 7th October fake story or tried to say something 4 articles back. They would of deleted the comments, closed the thread or it would of gone into pending to never see the light of dark. Some children and babies have more preferences as Rfk jr pointed out. What?? Are you saying the October 7 attack was fake? I guess you believe the moon landings were fake and the Twin tower attacks were fake too? Sorry to tell you this, but they all happened. Your lot fake things all the time. 9 million to 6 million to how about it never happened. A whole industry of fakery based on lies back on possible prison for not believing it. and Yes the October 7 story does seem fake. If the Iran thing is fake then your thing is even faker. Do you agree? I really do not know how to respond to that. If you really do believe that none of those events happened, there really is no hope for you. Sadly you do seem to be representative of the youth of today. I guess the difference is we read books when we were young, admittedly a long time ago. You lot don’t have the attention span. The from-it-hasn’t-happened-school is the last escape hatch ploy to give folks a nice backdoor out of having to commit themselves to the fact that the PTB are the enemy of humanity, which must be removed from all authority to decide ANYTHING. The ignored elephant in the room, is the fact that all of the wars, especially Post WW2, are “engineered” by the PTB and their ideologically bonded mercenary gremlins, coordinated and driven by empire US, and are completely arbitrary, inhuman and evil-on-maximum. One does not debate, after accumulating knowledge like discussed in this article. They stand on the rock solid ground of adult understanding that wars for empire, and it’s associated entities, must all be brought to permanent closure of all ability to operate. Please name them so we all know who they are According to Wiki (which of course has proved NOT to be reliable about many matters considering the amount of “backstage bickering” that goes on), the school was “triple tapped” by three distinct strikes and this has been verified by satellite-based analyses. Furthermore, Considering how unified the media were over The Deadly Pandemic, the motives of the media here are questionable. I don’t doubt the attack happened and also that the US are responsible. The question is: Why are they being so open about this? But of course you are waiting for the truest, most reliable news source which is Israel who never lie. Now you are being sarcastic my friend. Very very sarcastic or should I call you a self-hating Doo now? You all seem to be missing the point. At this stage it seems quite likely a school was hit. The real question remains – how can there be so many casualties when said school was closed and basically empty? The reality is there were none (or very few) but in the modern world stories of ‘The children’ make for headlines around the world whether they are true or not. According to the all knowing Wiki, Saturday is a school day in Iran. In the middle east, Thursdays and Fridays **were** the traditional weekend. A few years ago, most moved to Friday/Saturday to start to align with the rest of the world. Saudi was the last hold out, only changing a couple (?) of years ago. So Saturday is in fact one of the weekend days in Iran as it is in the rest of the middle east. As an aside, that some might find revealing, others amusing – I was working in one of the aforementioned states when the change was happening. The locals were not overly concerned, but the overpaid expat junior managers kicked up quite a fuss as they saw it as having to work an extra day (with pay mind you). It didn’t bother me – I was on a day rate but it would not have bothered me anyway. You have been told many times Iran schools open Saturdays. This is confirmed true. Please stop with disinformation. I will take your word for it, but I have been there. In psychoanalytic terms you’ve offered three reasons as resistances, offered them as hard. immutable Facts, against acceptance of an atrocity the US admits to having committed… But take heart, there are no demerits for being Normal… What is that babble supposed to mean? From Brave: Iranian schools are open on Saturdays.The school week in Iran runs from Saturday to Thursday, with Friday being the main weekend day, observed as the Islamic holy day. This structure is consistent across the country, including public and private schools. Multiple sources confirm that Saturdays are regular school days, with students attending classes from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. or later.
