President Donald Trump is mulling over an American departure from NATO. This comes after European nations refused to help guard oil tankers carrying loads of exported oil over the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, flanking Iran.
Europe stands to benefit from free-flowing oil, as at least 10 percent of the gas it uses flows through the Persian Gulf. Of course, Asian nations, including Japan, India and Communist China, derive even higher totals of their oil supply through the Persian Gulf.
Meanwhile, Trump is building new support in his fight to defang the Iranians and their terrorist allies. Saudi Arabia is said to be ready to attack Iran after Iran keeps lobbing missiles and drones into Saudi Arabia and neighboring Gulf states.
If Saudi Arabia does so, how many other Gulf states might join them? Will this lead to World War III or will Iran have to seek peace, knowing none of its neighbors will put up any longer with the constant threats of violence and terrorism? Here’s more from Steve Turley.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: The NATO forces apparently relented later Thursday, as six nations signed a joint statement saying they will take part in a mission to patrol the Persian Gulf to ensure safe passageway for ships. Signing the agreement: Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan.)
President Donald Trump’s surgical masterstroke — a strategic aerial bombing of military sites on Kharg Island — just ended Iran’s $10 trillion terror premium. The structure needed to keep Iran’s oil industry afloat was left intact, but all military protection was stripped away.
The tattered regime will not be able to continue the war in any meaningful way. Now, it’s just a matter of how long the clean-up will take. Here’s more from Barbara Boyd at Promethean Updates.
The good people of Iran celebrated across North America and Europe as the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his brutal terrorist regime got their butts kicked by Israel and the United States in a war to decapitate the terrorists.
Iranians living in exile now hope they can return and rebuild their homeland. How long will the installed regime last? That remains to be seen. Iranian allies like Hezbollah lobbed bombs into Israel from Lebanon, but Hezbollah’s days appear to be numbered — same as the Iranian regime. Even Saudi Arabia declared war on Hezbollah.
Has evil lost control? At least, it appears to be on run. The blitzkrieg Operation Epic Fury knocked the wind out of the sails of the terrorists. Pray the fighting ends soon. Here’s more from And We Know.
Retired Air Force Brigadier General Blaine Holt says there’s “no way” the Iranian regime remains intact after the decimating bombing by the United Strates and Israel over the weekend. There are currently no plans to put American soldiers on the ground in Iran, but aerial and naval strikes will continue as part of Operation Epic Fury.
Hostilities reached a fever pitch over the weekend as Iran fired missiles against targets in nearly 10 nations across the Middle East, focusing on Israel, but also striking targets around Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other Middle Eastern nations. Meanwhile, the United States and Israel took out the top leadership of Iran, including the Ayatollah Ali Khameini.
So far, three American soldiers have died in the conflict, mostly during missile strikes against U.S. bases in the Middle East. The question that remains: How much blowback will we see? Will Iranian allies like Hezbollah or Yemen step up their attacks? Will there be an increase in terrorism incidents? Here’s more from Holt and other analysts on Newsmax.
Thomas Pritzker has resigned as executive chairman of the board of the Hyatt Hotels, saying he did not wish to bring harm down upon the hotel chain. Pritzker has been in the news extensively as the press reported on his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Pritzker, who is the cousin of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, said, “My job and responsibility is to provide good stewardship. Good stewardship also means protecting Hyatt, particularly in the context of my association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, which I deeply regret.
“I exercised terrible judgment in maintaining contact with them, and there is no excuse for failing to distance myself sooner.”
More than a dozen resignations linked to Epstein have now occurred across the United States, as well as in Great Britain, France, the Slovak Republic and Saudi Arabia. Will be interesting to see how many more compromised hacks resign after the unredacted Epstein files get released. Here’s more from WGN News.
Elizabeth Warren and dozens of other Democrats are seemingly trying to stop the sale of the vintage video game company Electronic Arts to an outfit in Saudi Arabia, citing anti-competitive practices or something.
Really this is about protecting the unions and they’re mad Jared Kushner is involved. Oh, and they’re afraid the Saudis will take the gay away from The Sims. Probably. Here’s more from Clownfish TV.
The release of the Jeffrey Epstein files has people yammering over the photographs of pop stars like Michael Jackson and the Rolling Stones, but the real corruption lies in the documents relating to arms sales and influence peddling in nations from Israel to Mongolia. These documents underscore the role Epstein played as a powerbroker, often in harness to the CIA or Mossad, working in close tandem with the same globalist banks and corrupt politicians like former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak.
Mike Benz weighs in on the picture. And it’s not a pretty picture at all, but instead a real exposure of Deep State skullduggery.
He explains, “The top people involved in Iran contra from all four of the intelligence agencies, from all four of the main countries (the United States, Iran, Nicaragua and Israel) associated with the action, living with Jeffrey Epstein, doing multi-week sleepovers together in London, living together as cuddle buddies in a hotel in New York City, while Bear Stearns was running proprietary brokerage accounts at the CIA bank, doing the (deleted cussword) gun running.”
In a nutshell, says Benz, “This is it. The key to Epstein: Bear Stearns put him on BCCI trades in 1979, when it made millions helping the CIA, Brits, Saudis & Israelis disguise covert cash by clearing $13 billion with BCCI, a CIA money laundering bank. Epstein simply developed that clientele & career niche. The rest is history.” This is an excerpt — the highlight –from a five-hour stream where Benz analyses the Epstein files.
Former CIA agent and whistleblower Kevin Shipp is not buying the FBI’s story that Tyler Robinson, on his own, killed Charlie Kirk on September 10th. Shipp tells Mario Nawal that the September 10 murder of Kirk was a cold-blooded political assassination carried out by a larger team. While he does not have concrete proof, he believes the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, most likely carried out the assassination.
Why would an American ally kill a close associate and friend of the American President Donald Trump? Why would Trump ever stand for that kind of affrontery and open violation into American affairs? Nawal says the consequences for Israel could be enormous. “If it leaks that Israel is behind it, it will destroy U.S.-Israeli relations,” he says. “It’s just such a big risk relative to the reward they get from killing someone that might turn on them.”
“Would the CIA be complicit in something like this, especially considering Charlie Kirk being an American citizen?” Nawal asks.
Says Shipp, “There is no red line for the CIA.”
In an extensive interview, Shipp discusses the Jeffrey Epstein murder case, and gets into issues like kill switches, blackmail and MK-Ultra. He also offers his takes on the Chinese, Russian and Saudi Arabian intelligence agencies, finding the Chinese the most formidable — and ruthless — of the lot.
Nawal has a popular interview show, based on X. He’s an Australian citizen, but currently lives in Dubai within the United Arab Emirates.
Did curiosity kill the cat? Did Charlie Kirk land on the Mossad kill list because of his statements calling out Jeffrey Epstein as an agent for Mossad?
Kirk and Megan Kelly had just such a discussion in July, when Kelly offered her assessment that Epstein had been blackmailing so many of the rich and famous so they could be controlled and held in check by Israel. Epstein’s supposed partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, is the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who did intelligence work for Israel as well as multiple other nations.
If any intelligence agency was behind this political assassination, Mossad certainly ranks as a prime suspect. But there are others. Tyler Robinson had spent at least a year or two doing demolition work with the Western assassination teams in the Ukraine. Did the Ukraine, or NATO forces, push him into committing an assassination so they could keep that war rolling, and all of their kickbacks flowing? How much has Mitt Romney made off that war? Or Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi?
There’s also the Communist China angle, seeing as how Robinson’s likely allies in the kill — the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City — had been drawing money from billionaire Neville Roy Singham, based in Shanghai. Investigator George Webb believes that Ermiya Fanaeian, the Armed Queers leader and a transgender expatriate from Iran, drove Robinson home from the assassination site in Orem to St. George, Utah.
Where is she now? Why did the FBI not apprehend her at the same time as Robinson? Were they in that big of a rush to close the case and dismiss it as the handiwork of another “lone wolf” gunman? Here’s more from the Body Language Guy Jesús Enrique Rosas.
A former FBI agent who was embedded in the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, Mark Rossini, claims the CIA was fully aware that the 9/11 hijackers were in the United States planning an attack.
Rather than inform the FBI, the CIA tried to recruit two of the hijackers for a “false-flag” operation, which quickly spiraled out of control. The failed mission raises urgent questions about government secrecy, intelligence failures, and what really happened before 9/11. Here’s the first installment in a new series from Tucker Carlson.
