      Michael Parenti, the path-breaking Marxist scholar, historian and political scientist, passed today at age 92

      He went peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family

      People’s Republic of China’s State Media, CCTV, announces that the Chinese Government started yet another wave of purges within the Chinese Military leadership, including the [former] all-powerful General Zhang Youxia.

      Possible Iran Air Strike Scenario

      If indeed the US/Israel plan to do “something” in the form of major air strikes against Iran that goes beyond launching Tomahawk cruise missiles, I doubt they will attempt an assassination of Khamenei, nor any strikes deep in Iran. I simply don’t believe they can execute such an ambitious attack, and the more time spent flying over Iran increases the risk of aircraft getting shot down.

      I think the most likely target(s) for US carrier-based strikes would be the oil terminal at Kharg Island and the port facilities at Bandar Abbas.

      In both cases, they would likely park CSG-3 off the coast of Oman (south of the US logistics base at Duqm) and do aerial refueling over the UAE and Iraq or Kuwait.

      I reckon they could very likely execute such a strike without losing aircraft — but, of course, they will likewise not meaningfully degrade Iranian counterstrike capability. So then we’ll have the fireworks of a major Iranian attack against US bases in the region — not to mention a serious attempt to strike the carrier and its destroyer escorts.

      Anyway, these are just my passing thoughts now that the likelihood of a US/Israeli strike seems to be rising.

      If nothing happens within 24 – 48 hours, then I think the likelihood of nothing at all happening increases exponentially.

        Given the big anglozionist strategy, the imperative, whatever the schedule, remains the destruction of Iranian sovereignty. Noting that it’s not so hard to start violence, but impossible to know in advance what will come after that.

      “Blue Ops”… use searchterm> “Iran’s ‘Navy has deployed Fateh-class and Ghadir-class submarines into the s”         Ahemremember when the her royalness’s sub torpedoed a cruiser  in the Falklands affair. Maybe the Persian boats will get a carrier…. Maybe they lay mines… Maybe both! The war at sea develops…

      “Submarines of Iran deployed to the strait of Hormuz

      (IRGC) Iran’s ‘Navy has deployed Fateh-class and Ghadir-class submarines into the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a direct response to the approaching USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group. and a move that transforms the critical waterway into a potential flashpoint for broader conflict.’

      The only chart gone more parabolic than gold and silver is the one tracking the claimed number of Iranians “slaughtered by the Mullahs”.

      As though the empire needs a pretext for war. 🤦‍♂️

      It’s long-since arrived at the stage where it’s “All War, All the Time”.

          it is what it is

          Sunrise doesn’t last all morning
          A cloudburst doesn’t last all day
          Seems my love is up
          And has left you with no warning
          It’s not always gonna be this grey
          All things must pass
          All things must pass away
          Sunset doesn’t last all evening
          A mind can blow those clouds away
          After all this my love is up
          And must be leaving
          But it’s not always going
          To be this grey
          All things must pass
          All things must pass away
          All things must pass
          None of life’s strings can last
          So I must be on my way
          And face another day
          Now the darkness only stays at night time
          In the morning it will fade away
          Daylight is good
          At arriving at the right time
          But it’s not always going
          To be this grey
          All things must pass
          All things must pass away
          All things must pass
          All things must pass away

      Iranian missile tested over Russia into Siberia – I was hesitant to speak on this as we had no proof.  Still no proof, but reliable commentary.

      Alastair Crooke just indicated that test happened. No proof, but he’s usually careful about his factual statements. He mentions it as ICBM ballistic, which if it had a glide vehicle atop, that would constitute the basic hypersonic category.

      China’s is a glide vehicle and Russia has the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle. .

      https://youtu.be/v8g9hbDc0WA Just first 55 seconds..Hudson speaks of the delusions

      Recalling crafty Iranians have put to sea with their subs, designed for and practiced in the tricky currents, shoals, tides, and salinity variations of the Gulf and Straits… I am minded of the Greek Victory over Xerxes at Salamis…

      Recalling that the ignorant west gang is under the imperative of liquidating Iranian sovereignty, and in serious trouble in Die Heimat over the reactions to ICE gang murders…and those pictures in the Epstein files…A splendid war with Persia may seem to them like a happy solution…the gods create their delusions…lead them into defeat…which brings us back to Hudson’s opening remarks… “nutty!”  all of ’em, not just the european nitwits.

      One could say the Germans might have a pretty good idea on this one…

      </h3>
      The Slovak Prime Minister, Robert Fico, told EU leaders that he was alarmed after meeting Donald Trump on January 17 at Mar-a-Lago, calling Trump’s state of mind “dangerous” and raising concerns about his “psychological state”, according to EU diplomats.

      The White House rejected this account, stating:

      “This is absolute fake news… The meeting at Mar-a-Lago was positive and productive.”

        The statement from zone trump does not address the statement from Fico, and is deflective. We may assume that the Fico observation is confirmed by zone trump, since it is not denied. Besides, it’s obvious that great orange is in elderly decline.

          I share Brian Berletic’s opinion that Europe moving away from Trump and the USA is pure political theater.  To my mind it’s a very sinister theater, with the predators fanning out and hoping to lull and isolate their prey.

      It’s really confusing why MAGA doesn’t think this ugliness won’t just stay ugly.  Many of MAGA’s goals mirror John Calvin’s attempted dystopian theocracy in Geneva during the 1500s.

      “Naval Blockade” is not necessarily equivalent to seizing ships. A general definition: “an operation by a belligerent State to prevent vessels and/or aircraft of all States, enemy as well as neutral, from entering or exiting specified ports, airfields, or coastal areas belonging to, occupied by, or under the
      control of an enemy belligerent State”

      wiki say> According to modern international law, blockades are an act of war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade

      a learned paper on the subject> https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326991862_Naval_Blockade

      Forces attempting to blockade are liable to be destroyed. The goal may be “optical”, in that the dark attacking “blockading” force “leadership” desires that Iran “be seen to have struck the first blow” – which iirc is a quote from Roosevelt with respect to the Japanese actions at Pearl Harbor…
