Well, yes.  This has eaten up too much time.

We’re past the stage whether we think of true or false.  There is enough evidence to say that it is false (but then again, it becomes nuanced as I (and others) believe that Iran could have some form of nuclear weapon very quickly should they choose to).  Prof Marandi toward the end of a video with Glenn Diesen just a few hours ago, explained it well.

For me it is a question of what did Pepe fall into.   Was it one of those massive Israeli influence operations?  Is it a lone guy feeding them things that sound good?  Those are just a start of questions for me.  And why did he believe something that for most of us was highly suspicious from the start.  Who paid to make this story?  Who was the rat?

For me, I smelt it immediately mainly with the casual way that the issue of the Fatwa was treated in the first video.  And then there were so many ‘tells’.  Like a nuke is not just a nuke.  It needs some delivery system.  Sure Larry should know these things.    So, who was the rat?

But yes, it is eating up too much time.

The big story of the last three days or so has now fallen apart.  CENTCOM forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz. The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further attacks. American forces remain vigilant and postured to respond to unjustified Iranian aggression in self-defense.

I started with that yesterday but put it aside as I was just tired.  I’ve started this now.  There are some other comments from Michael as well.  Yikes … busy!

The two gentlemen were caught in a lil’ trap.  At the end of the day this is going to turn in “intelligence sources believe with x probability that Iran has the bomb.”  They both know they’ve been snookered.

A notification from George Galloway about tremendous censorship on X ..

@georgegalloway

I and my show @MoatsTV
are now experiencing censorship by @elonmusk
to the extent that it is questionable whether it is worthwhile continuing on this platform. With almost a million followers on X I cannot take such a decision lightly but facts are facts. Please follow me on YouTube Instagram Facebook and Telegram for the Real Deal.

Oh man .. the musicians that were supposed to play at the 250 year US anniversary are declining, because apparently (not sure where I picked this up), they were told it is not political.  So, when they found out that it is organized by the republicans, almost to a man or to a group they declined.  So, now, Trump is going to make a speech because he is more popular than even Elvis was.  Sorry guys, no music concert fun for you.

And the US military and the Zionist military are on the point of integrating.  First the industry and then the militaries themselves.  I’ve always said that this is one amoeba, just pretending it is two.

And Medvedev –

Dmitry Medvedev stated that a symmetrical strike on nuclear power stations in Ukraine and NATO countries involved in the conflict could be the response to a destructive attack on the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant.

According to him, in the event of a catastrophic destruction of the machine or reactor hall of a nuclear power station, a new Chernobyl would occur – and this is no better than the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

OK … Pacal Lottaz from Neutrality Studies with some nuke experts.  I seem to remember a video with Pascal from the women on this presentation describing what the differences are of tactical nukes and big nukes, but I cannot find it now.

Anil,

Chiapas Mexico – I traveled in luxury tour busses from the North to the South, went to the other coast and traveled back — Years ago.  Many chicken busses too!  This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in my life.  Another part of it is shallow waters over flat rocks and the Mayan had created a system for watering their crops with fine chiselled cutouts in these flat rocks.  I also wanted to stay behind in a local weaving group doing their dying with organic methods, and wanted just kinda to stay there forever and catch cochineal bugs for dies.  There was a little local Indian fellow with pitch black hair down to his waist, and he promised he would teach me.  I had a bed in the top part of the weaving room and an invite – all done.  My husband at the time came to join me for part of the trip and convinced me .. well, he reminded me that I had people at home who loved me.   LOL.  It was a good time!
