We just saw two US negotiation ruses / surprise attacks on Iran in the last ten months. What more evidence is needed?

I suppose Palestinian villages are the last place the missiles would land.

Attacking Dimona is a moral imperative because Israel is -60 years away from a nuclear weapon.

In most states (meaning countries), all base/narrow money^[1] is backed by the fact that the state will only accept its own currency for taxes due. Which means that, if the state has no debt, then there is no (base) money. The base money in the economy is equal to the state’s debt. All the base money in the economy came from the state at some point buying goods/services/labor.

The US dollar is a safe haven insomuch as it’s likely to continue to have value for the foreseeable future, but it isn’t necessarily safe compared to the value of other currencies. In fact, IMO the US dollar is likely to continue falling w/r/t other currencies in the short & medium term, thanks to the deterioration of the petrodollar system and of dollar hegemony. We’re also a fading empire, and our economy is hyper-financialized, awash in debt, which doesn’t help. We’ve de-industrialized and don’t have a viable path to re-industrialization.

the USA is more on promoting maximum employment.

It’s supposed to be that, but in practice it isn’t. The Federal Reserve has a dual mandate, but they’re in conflict with each other, and really the maximum employment part is only given lip service.

War accelerating the move to green energy and conservation wasn’t on my bingo card.

Ready to get your ass handed to you is more like it.

Corporate news 🌏👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀🌌 always has been and always will be like this.

Was he seduced into a snafu by FSB agent XXX?

Liberals, turning “failure” into an abstraction, bereft of any actual, concrete goals

I don’t know, but I think more Germans per capita are fluent in English than French, Spanish, or Latino people are, and maybe that has something to do with it.

40,000 my ass. Previously:

The “protesters” were mercenaries & rioters led by the CIA & Mossad to kill civilians & police and to seize or set fire to government buildings. It was the standard faux color revolution playbook for regime change that the US has been using since at least the 1980s.

One reason they keep using it is because you keep falling for it.

• Western Media Whitewashes Deadly Riots in Iran
• Meet the former fashion blogger and shady doctor behind the ‘30,000 dead’ Iran psy-op
• How Tehran Neutralised Starlink and Foiled Washington’s Colour Revolution playbook
• The blueprint of regime change operations

Even if it were to exist in the short run, it wouldn’t be stable. The predictor must be predicting somehow, which eventually could be at least partially sussed out, and future decisions would change as a result. Unless the predictor runs on literal magic, it would eventually no longer fit its own definition.

Mmmm, this sounds like an idealist hypothetical problem that in reality can’t exist, so to engage with it is to engage with nonsense.

The predictor rarely makes mistakes because… just because. It’s axiomatic. The predictor runs on the magic of unsupported assertion.

That’s rather ominous given that the Energy Secretary is essentially the Nuclear Weapons Secretary.

The idea that Iran has run out of launchers is funny since they’re literal trucks sitting in tunnel until use.

It’s a freakish how often corporate media just so happen to all come to the same erroneous conclusions. It’s almost enough to make one entertain crackpot conspiracy theories.

Anyway, here’s a list of the Members of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Shouldathoughtathat two weeks ago, numbnuts.

Are you not dismissing every other type of sausage, or did just not consider them? Because if this is about lips & assholes, almost all of them are all lips & assholes.

Thank you for the legitimate target.
