Trump gets to play soldier while "Bibi" Netanyahu is the General

 

War In Iran Is Simple

To Understand - OIL

FOLLOW THE MONEY

 - - - No more, no less.

We didn't attack poverty stricken Chad in Africa.

To distract the Sheeple from the Epstein Files, Trump attacked oil rich Venezuela and oil rich Iran.

It is two for one: the controlled Corporate media machine distracts the Sheeple from Epstein while the military gets control of the oil.

MAGA is perhaps mortally woulded by a business as usual warmonger President.

There's no Democrats and Republicans

"There are no sides. There's no Sunnis and Shiites. There's no Democrats and Republicans. There's only HAVES and HAVE-NOTS. 

This is a country, where the Secretary of Defense can go on T.V., and tell the American public, oh, that "This is about freedom! It's not about oil!" And nobody questions him, cuz they don't wanna hear the answer, because it's a lie."

Trump to offer Palestinians $5,000 to leave Gaza

So much for America First

DONALD Trump has a plan to offer Palestinians $5,000 each to leave Gaza for a decade, as part of a wider plan to turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.

Under the plan, which runs to a 38-page prospectus and is currently circulating the White House, it would see the territory become a trusteeship under the control of the US.

While under US control it could be turned into a tourist destination and tech hub.

The Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, or Great Trust, would Gaza’s entire two million population relocated through “voluntary” departures to another country or to restricted, secured zones within the enclave in exchange for a digital token to give up their land.

The proposals, which have been seen by The Washington Post, are likely to prove to be controversial both with the USA’s allies and Arab states regarding the rebuilding of Gaza and who oversees it, and the plan to remove the Strip’s population.

Land tokens would hand the US-administered trust the right to develop Palestinians’ property, which would be used to finance life in another country or to be later redeemed for an apartment in one of up to eight possible new “AI-powered, smart cities” which are planned to be built in Gaza.

Trump: U.S. Will Take Over Gaza, ‘We Will Own It’

"The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity."

Harlan Ellison

• I'm stunned. Within days of taking office Trump wants to send troops to Palestine to build a beach resort.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. would take over Gaza and remove debris, tunnels, and explosives left there by Hamas after the war with Israel, adding that he saw America taking a “long-term ownership position.”

Trump said: “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too. We’ll love it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous bombs and other weapons on the site… and get rid of the destroyed buildings [and] create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing.”

The surprise announcement came as the president spoke alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first foreign leader to visit Trump since his Inauguration last month.

Trump had previously said that he would like to see most, or all, of the Palestinian population of Gaza moved to another Arab or Muslim country.

The idea of actually taking over Gaza, and establishing a U.S. presence, was both unexpected and completely new.

Trump added that the U.S. would develop Gaza economically, sending troops if necessary and making investments.

Israel to develop "Prime Gaza Beachfront" Property

Read More - The Federalist

By Gary

I have been so impressed that yesterday I added Trump's picture to the upper right of this blog.

Now I'm doing a countdown for when to remove it.

I feel betrayed.

Within days of taking office Trump wants to take over, and send troops to, the terrorist shit-hole of Gaza.

Back on May 6, 2024 this Blog covered Israel's plan to take over Gaza and turn it into a Beach Resort.

The AP reported that " Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property,” suggesting that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area."

Now Trump is parroting Israel's plans.

God help us.

Israel to develop "Prime Gaza Beachfront" Property

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday released a utopian plan for a rebuilt Gaza called “Gaza 2035.”

The Prime Minister’s Office published a 9-page PowerPoint file describing a future where Gaza is de-radicalized from Islamism, transformed into a trade hub of prosperity and innovation and integrated into the Middle East’s economy.

The “Gaza 2035” plan seeks to leverage Gaza’s geopolitical role in trade routes between Cairo and Baghdad, and Europe and Yemen.

The documents lay out three steps to return Gaza to self-governance and economic growth.

The first step would see 12 months of humanitarian aid, where Israel would slowly create safe areas in Gaza from north to south.

Second, a 5-10 year reconstruction process supervised by a coalition of Arab states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, and Morocco).

“The plan is to move Israeli security responsibility to Israel, while the Arab Coalition will create a multilateral body called the Gaza Rehabilitation Authority (GRA) to oversee the reconstruction efforts and manage the Strip’s finances,” the Jerusalem Post reported.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s former White House adviser and his son-in-law, praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property,” suggesting that Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the area.

“Gaza’s waterfront property, it could be very valuable, if people would focus on building up livelihoods,” Kushner said in an interview dated Feb. 15, posted earlier this month on the YouTube channel of the Middle East Initiative, a program of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and reported first on Tuesday by The Guardian. “If you think about all the money that’s gone into this tunnel network and into all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation, what could have been done?”

“It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but I think from Israel’s perspective, I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner added. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”

Iraqi Parliament Calls To Ditch US Dollar

The Ugly American

People are sick of being Fucked, Invaded and Sanctioned

• Country after country is telling America to go screw themselves and are joining BRICS alliance - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.  Some of the newest members include Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE.

The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament stated that they are calling to ditch the US dollar for oil trade.

To thwart US sanctions on the Iraqi banking system, the Finance Committee of the Iraqi parliament started on January 31st, urging the sale of oil in currencies other than the US dollar.

“The US Treasury still uses the pretext of money laundering to impose sanctions on Iraqi banks. This requires a national stance to put an end to these arbitrary decisions,” the statement said. 

“Imposing sanctions on Iraqi banks undermines and obstructs Central Bank efforts to stabilize the dollar exchange rate and reduce the selling gap between official and parallel rates,” it added.

The Finance Committee reaffirmed its “call on the government and the Central Bank of Iraq to take quick measures against the dominance of the dollar, by diversifying cash reserves from foreign currencies,” as well as its “rejection of these practices, due to their repercussions on the livelihoods of citizens.”

American EMPIRE: CRASH & BURNING in Real Time

Ron Paul: Why Are We in Niger?

"Our military empire is bankrupting us and turning the rest of the world against us."

Ron Paul

Ron Paul | Infowars.com

The July military coup in the west African country of Niger has once again brought attention to the fact that the US government runs a global military empire that serves Washington’s special interests, and not the national interest.

Before the coup made news headlines, most Americans – including many serving in Congress – had no idea the US government maintains more than 1,000 troops stationed on several US bases in Niger. But it’s even worse than that. A recent report in The Intercept suggests the Pentagon repeatedly misled Congress about the extent and the cost of the US presence in Niger. 

According to The Intercept, “in testimony before the House and Senate Armed Services Committees in March, the chief of US Africa Command described Air Base 201 (in Niger) as ‘minimal’ and ‘low cost.’” In fact the US government has spent a quarter of a billion dollars on the base since construction began in 2016.

So when did Congress declare war so as to legalize US military operations in Niger? They didn’t. But as Kelley Vlahos writes in Responsible Statecraft, US troops have been “training” the military in Niger since 2013 and the US government has constructed a number of military bases to “fight terrorism” in the country and region.

Does that mean that the Pentagon is operating in Niger under the 2001 authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) meant to track down those who attacked the US on 9/11? It’s a good question and thankfully one being asked by Sen. Rand Paul in a recent letter sent to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

Senator Paul first pointed out in the letter, “the Administration’s limitless interpretation of the 9/11 AUMF and frequent use of Title 10 authorities results in military operations abroad conducted with little Congressional oversight and even less public scrutiny.” Such actions “undermine our Constitution,” he writes as he asks, “in how many countries are US forces conducting operations authorized by the 2001 AUMF.”

The US Is NOT PREPARED for What Is Coming!!!

Tired of American bullying, Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia are thought to be among those most likely to be admitted to BRICS. 

Iran has also expressed interest.

Iran’s economy, ranked the 22nd-largest in the world last year with a G.D.P. of about $2 trillion, has been plagued by inflation, slow growth and U.S. economic sanctions.

Among the hopefuls to join are the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Comoros, Gabon, Bangladesh, Belarus, and Guinea-Bissau.

Communist Chinese Navy pushes into Indonesia

(RFA)  -  Indonesia is boosting patrols in its maritime territory in the South China Sea after incursions by Chinese coast guard and fishing boats in recent days.

The head of Indonesia’s Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) said the country would defend its waters off the Natuna Islands – an archipelago at the southern reaches of the contested sea – after more than 60 Chinese ships trespassed in its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in late December.

“We will be present there and we will stake our claim,” ​​Vice Admiral Achmad Taufiqoerrohman, the chief of Bakamla, told reporters after meeting with cabinet ministers in Jakarta on Friday.

“The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) will also exert their strength,” Achmad said.

He did not indicate how many additional personnel or ships would be deployed, saying those details were confidential.

TNI said it had deployed three ships, one maritime reconnaissance aircraft and an Indonesian Air Force plane to patrol Natuna waters. Another ship was on its way to the region from Jakarta, the military said in a statement.

After Jakarta lodged a diplomatic protest over the December incursion, Beijing’s foreign ministry defended the presence of Chinese boats around the Indonesian islands, saying that “China has rights and interests over the relevant waters.”

Chinese boats including three coast guard vessels were again spotted in Natuna waters on Friday, according to Indonesian media outlet Tempo.

“When we conduct air patrol this morning, we find 30 boats there. I have deployed more security personnel,” it quoted the Bakamla chief as saying.

Gas fields near the islands are believed to hold up to 226 trillion cubic feet of gas, according to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Following a series of encounters with Chinese ships in Indonesian waters in 2016, including one in which the Indonesian Navy fired warning shots at Chinese-flagged vessels, Indonesia further irritated Beijing by renaming the area the North Natuna Sea.

Jakarta then launched an ambitious five-point plan for developing the Natunas that involved military facilities, fisheries, tourism, oil and gas, and preserving the environment.

“It is our right to develop the Natuna waters,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi told reporters on Friday. “We would also like to emphasize again that there have been violations by Chinese vessels in Indonesia’s EEZ.”

Iran is paranoid - and for good reason too

The Warmonger Elites Count on You Not Knowing History

"When everyone is dead, the Great Game is finished. Not before."  — Rudyard Kipling

By Gary;

Iran has every right to feel paranoid

Sometimes the paranoids are right and "they" really are after you.

First of all let me say that the current government of Iran is borderline insane and a possible danger to peace in the region.

But that being said, Americans and Europeans need a little history lesson about Iran and the region.  For hundreds of years Iran has been attacked by all of their neighbors  -  both Muslim and Christian.  This has resulted in Iran having nearly 50% of its land area taken away from it by force.

In recent history: 

• Iran has been invaded and occupied by both Russia and Britain.  
• The legal ruler of the nation was overthrown and sent as a prisoner to a British colony and puppet king put on the throne.  
• Both the CIA and British Intelligence organized a coup and deposed the legal government and installed an absolute monarchy.  
• Iraq invaded Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people.

From the Iranian point of view, they see Western nations invade Iraq and Afghanistan on either side of their nation.  An American fleet operates off their coast.  On Iran's western border Turkey is working with NATO to set up defensive systems.  The American military is set up on Iran's northern border in Central Asia.

The Iranian government might be a bit nuts, but they are not crazy.  They can see they are ringed by foreign military powers that have done them great harm in past years and stolen large parts of their nation.

Iran Views Neighbors as a Threat
Iran suffered defeats in many wars with Imperial Russia, the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire.  Iran lost almost half of its territory to Russia, the Ottomans and the British Empire, in treaties such as Gulistan, Turkmenchay and Akhal. 

Iran has good reason to fear their neighbors and the Western powers.  Here are samples of the endless wars they have fought for hundreds of years.

Some sample conflicts.

Russian-Persian Wars (1722-1828)  -  For over 100 years Persia fought a series of wars again Russian aggression into Central Asia and the Caucasus region.  Persia gave up huge amounts of territory to Russia

Anglo-Persian War (1856-1857)  -  The campaign was successfully conducted under the leadership of Major General Sir James Outram in two theaters.  Outram invaded Persia through its' southern coast near Bushehr and in southern Mesopotamia. The war resulted in Persia withdrawing from Herat in what is now Afghanistan and signing a new treaty in which it surrendered its claims on the city.

The Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907  -  Persia was split into three zones: A Russian zone in the north, a British zone in the southwest, and a neutral “buffer” zone in the remaining land.  No one bothered to ask the Persian people if they minded being divided into zones by outside powers.

1941 invasion of Iran-  British troops and Soviet armored car

Anglo-Soviet Invasion of Iran (1941)  -  The invasion of the Imperial State of Iran during World War II, by British, Commonwealth, and Soviet armed forces. The invasion was codenamed Operation Countenance. The purpose was to secure Iranian oil fields and ensure Allied supply lines for the Soviets fighting against Axis forces on the Eastern Front.

Reza Shah, the ruler of Iran, was arrested and sent into exile in South Africa, leaving his young son Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi to replace him on the throne. Iran was effectively divided between Britain and the Soviet Union for the duration of the war.

Soviet Puppet States in Iran (1946)  -  During the three years of occupation, Stalin had expanded Soviet political influence in Azerbaijan and the Kurdish area in northwestern Iran, as well as in Iran founding the communist Tudeh Party of Iran. On December 12, 1945, after weeks of violent clashes a Soviet-backed separatist People's Republic of Azerbaijan was founded.

The Kurdish People's Republic was also established in late 1945. Iranian government troops sent to reestablish control were blocked by Soviet Red Army units. When the deadline for withdrawal arrived on March 2, 1946, six months after the end of World War II hostilities, the British began to withdraw, but Moscow balked, "citing threats to Soviet security."  Soviet troops did not withdraw from Iran proper until May, 1946.

CIA backed Coup in Iran (1953)  -   A successful coup was headed by retired army general Fazlollah Zahedi, organized by the American (CIA) with the active support of the British (MI6) (known as Operation Ajax). The coup — with a black propaganda campaign designed to turn the population against elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh — forced Mossadegh from office, and was remembered with anger by Iranians.  Mossadegh was arrested and tried for treason.  The Shah was returned to power.

The United States was born in the overthrow of the British monarchy.  Now the United States was teaming with the British to install an absolute monarchy on the Iranian people.

After Operation Ajax, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's rule became increasingly autocratic. With American support, the Shah was able to rapidly modernize Iranian infrastructure, but he simultaneously crushed all forms of political opposition.

Iranian troops liberating their land from Iraq

Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988)  -  Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein attempted to take advantage of the disorder of the Iranian Revolution.  Iraq tried to improve access to the Persian Gulf by acquiring territories that Iraq had claimed earlier from Iran during the Shah's rule.

Tens of thousands of Iranian civilians and military personnel were killed when Iraq used chemical weapons in its warfare. Iraq was financially backed by Egypt, the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact states, the United States (beginning in 1983), France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, and the People's Republic of China.

China Uses Debt to Colonize Africa

Nothing To See Here, Move Along

• The corrupt multi-national corporate media machine "forgets" to report on these stories.

China opened the second phase of its $5 billion railroad in Kenya, a major component of the international Belt and Road Initiative, on Thursday.

The new stretch of rail line cost $1.5 billion to complete but had a remarkably low-key debut for such an important project, perhaps reflecting growing criticism that the railroad is doomed and will serve little purpose beyond indenturing Kenya to Chinese loans it can never repay.

The South China Morning Post recalled on Friday that the first phase of the railway, a $3.2 billion line that runs some 300 miles from Mombasa to Nairobi, was opened in 2017 the ceremony was attended by a high-ranking envoy from Chinese dictator Xi Jinping. Phase Two’s opening on Thursday was a far less spectacular affair, attended only by the Chinese ambassador to Kenya.

Kenya struggles to manage debt for railway to 'nowhere'

The big problem with the project, which Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta vociferously denies, is that the railroad would be unlikely to turn a profit even if the third and final stage is completed, and there is a good chance it won’t be. 

A string of reports was published right before the Phase Two opening that questioned the economic viability of the railroad. China, suddenly short of resources due to its trade war with the United States and smarting from accusations of debt colonialism, is expressing doubts about completing the expensive but indispensable third stage of the project, which would bring the railroad all the way to the Ugandan border.

“We will not be discouraged by baseless claims,” Kenyatta thundered at the opening ceremony, dismissing the skeptical reports. “We know where we want to take the country and we will not allow visionless people to discourage us.”

“The completion of the Nairobi Suswa section of the SGR project is expected to revolutionize the development of the surrounding areas,” he declared.

“China will continue to support Kenya in development projects as it aims to complete the SGR,” promised Chinese ambassador Wu Peng, using a common abbreviation of the formal name of the project, the Standard Gauge Railway. Wu encouraged Chinese companies to invest in the railway and related projects, although he did not actually promise they would do so.
