The blood moon is nearly dead, but the war rages on.  Every day it seems there is less real information about what is going on.  A number of people posting online were arrested in Jordan over the past few days, including one of our sources – Middle East Spectator (offline since Sunday).  We all know what this means – the war is not going well for USrael.  The narrative must be maintained no matter what the cost.

 

Even if you think Trump is a buffoon, the reality is this war must have been gamed out in advance by USrael war planners.  I saw someone today describe Israel as the brains and the USA as the muscle of the operation.  Maybe.  But surely no one serious is surprised by what is going on.  So what exactly is the goal – burn all the Gulf allies, burn all of empire’s military bases, burn Israel – to what end exactly?  What exactly is the hoped-for victory in this situation except total destruction?

 

I’ve speculated this is Trump surrendering to Russia/China, leaving chaos and flames as the US (and Israel?) exit the region.  Others speculate this is pure hubris from the empire who is being shown what life is like here in reality.  True believers think Trump is playing 5-d chess, and they’re trying to figure out the motivation, and think maybe the new refinery announced in Brownsville (see below) is a key move on his chessboard.  Kill off the competition, force energy flows to come through Texas.  Hard to see how one or even ten new refineries in the USA would keep the petrodollar alive and the global economy afloat.

 

I have more thoughts, but no time to share them now.  I do expect this war grind to continue for a bit, so I will hopefully address this more fully soon.  In the meantime, the journey towards apocalypse continues.  Will someone pull the plug?

 

p.s.  Going on a family trip tomorrow, I won’t have time to research.  Will post what I can.

One of my biggest complaints about the west and especially America is the architecture.  Can’t come up with new buildings that are beautiful, no, we’re stuck pretending we are Romans or living in a Brutalist modern world.  Forget the grand buildings, even the every day buildings being put up the last 30 years are ugly boxes, and everywhere you go in America it’s the same ugly corporate nonsense.  It’s like there’s a concerted effort to destroy the natural beauty around us and replace it with Soma Sheds that will put you to sleep if you look too long.  I got in an argument on a local Facebook group with people complaining about graffiti, no one was happy when I said the graffiti at least added personality and color to the shitboxes.  Oops.

 

So here’s China, creating true beauty with their buildings.  A sure sign the future will come from China, the west has completely forgotten (intentionally) that beauty and art are good for the soul.

Here’s some commentary.  Lots of people have dead air to fill.  Certainly I will say I have been hoping Trump would destroy the west with his toddler tantrums.  Here’s hoping AHH was right all along, and Trump is the last American president.

This next guy is a right-winger who has started to cotton on to what I’ve suspected from the beginning…  Namely, that Trump is a plant to completely destroy the Republican Party in America for 20 or 30 years, if not forever.  They need a uniparty to to full empire, if they can.  Thoughtful observers realize the US is already a uniparty behind the scenes, but you’d be amazed how many genuinely intelligent and thoughtful people in the States are blind to that fact.  Of course this guy thinks it’s all for Israel’s benefit.

This guy thinks the entire point of the war is to make money for Trump’s oligarchs.  Could be.  Seems to be the point of everything else he does…

Well Lebanon has news coming out of it.  Predictably the news is bad for Israel.  And yet they are the aggressor.  Insanity.
