Trump's Kabuki War

 

                                                           Trump’s Kabuki War

                                                          Junious Ricardo Stanton



         They say truth is the first casualty of war; we are seeing this axiom playing out with the Israeli and US unprovoked aggression against Iran. The warmongers in Israel have been telling the world for thirty years Iran is on the verge of building a nuclear bomb, any day now. Even the censorship industrial complex cannot obliterate the soundbites and visuals of Netanyahu’s lies over the years. Thus far even after their malicious unprovoked attacks on Iran on Friday June 13th and Donald Trump in his usual fashion of throwing caution to the winds joining the Israelis in attacking Iran, the lies and propaganda just keep coming.

War is a serious matter. But it seems when psychopaths are involved the sacredness of life, the practical benefits of peace, living in harmony with one’s neighbors and being honest and forthright are never considered. Psychopaths and warmongers have no conscience. They believe they can wantonly commit atrocities, inflict human suffering with impunity; there won’t be any blowback (a CIA term for unforeseen consequences of their actions) or penalties for their misdeeds and rapine. Regardless of their words and verbiage to the contrary, their actions demonstrate for all to see they have no moral or ethical code, they lack impulse control and empathy and they are driven by an insatiable desire for power, wanton thrills and control.

Trump ordered the bombing of Iran’s, alleged nuclear weapon facilities but the Iranians claimed the damage was minimal and that two of the sites had been evacuated earlier. Israel instigated a war against Iran knowing full well they could induce the West to come to their aid which the US did. Now, the warmongers are paying a horrific price, in the global court of public opinion. To all but the most rabid warmongers and religious fanatics, Israel and the US are now seen as pariahs and savages.

Israel and the US’s actions are so insane, so irrational it’s like a Kabuki theater production. They’ve failed in their objective to neutralize Iran’s nuclear facilities and Iran hit back hard against Israel and demonstrated to the US what it could do to its bases in the region.  Meanwhile Israel was so unprepared for the Iranian response they begged the US to intervene.

For its’ part Iran warned Qatar a nation which is Muslim and has decent relations with Iran but also sides with Israel and the US. Qatar allowed the warmongers to use their air space and allegedly helped shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel, that it was going to attack a US military base in Qatar. Iran’s forewarning helped prevent any serious casualties and prevented the US from using Iran’s response to their attack as a casus belli  to expand their involvement.

Trump meanwhile is taking heat from some in his base who encourage a more isolationist posture or who are incensed he betrayed his promise not to start or drag the US into any new forever wars. However, other MAGAites, the Christian Zionist specifically are salivating at the prospect of an expanded war because they think it will usher in the Rapture when all their “true believers” who dutifully support Israel will be literally taken up to heaven to live with Jesus. Of course, the MIC is seeing dollar signs as their stocks prices sour and business is booming.

Trump obviously lives in a Bizzaro World type reality. He can now say he supported Israel, that he took out the nuclear threat, even though it was nonexistent and thus the US military actually failed in its mission, and he can also “demand” both sides cease firing, act and play nicely towards each other. Idiot! Things don’t work like that in the real world especially when psychopaths like Netanyahu and an imbecile like Trump are involved.

The Zionists want to obliterate Iran but they have not been able to do so, they and now the world knows they cannot accomplish this with the help of the West! The world is watching the Zionists warmongers getting their behinds handed to them in real time. They are in panic mode. The Iranians took a hit and hit back, big time but not as fully as they are capable of. If they wanted to they could do serious damage to Israel and throw the global economy and supply chain for oil and commerce in turmoil.

  The US did not destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, so what now? Israel’s “Iron Doom” is in shambles and the world sees it. Trump actually thinks he holds enough sway to make the warmongers in Tel Aviv stand down. He foolishly thinks he can bully the Iranians into not defending themselves against the warmongers! According to Trump (who is truth averse)  both sides agreed to a cease fire in principle. However just like in Gaza, Israel continued the assault and Iran responded hard. Now Trump looks like an idiot so he is throwing a hissy fit. If this weren’t so serious it would be funny, a complete Kabuki show.

What can we do to set this situation right. Pray for peace, pray for sanity and pray that this doesn’t spiral totally out of control!

Things Are Going as Planned

 

                                               Things Are Going as Planned

                                                      Junious Ricardo Stanton


            I do not claim to be an Oracle, Soothsayer or Shaman. In the past I’ve made predictions not based upon rituals, seances or crystal balls but by using observation and pattern recognition. Late in 2024 I predicted in a commentary entitled 2025 Predictions Israel would continue to wage war on its neighbors and in a later commentary in March of 2025 entitled War Appears Eminent I reiterated Israel is the aggressor nation that has been trying to get the US to back its plans to attack Iran. So here we are in June 2025 and the war is on.

On June 14th Israel launched unprovoked attacks against Iran baselessly claiming Iran posed an existential threat to the Zionist nation. Keep in mind Israel in general but Benjamin Netanyahu specifically has been saying this for decades with no verification. His continuous Chicken Little pronouncements are legendary, “Iran is months away from developing nuclear weapons, Iran is weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, Iran is a threat to Israel…” Keep in mind, Netanyahu has been saying this for almost thirty years!

Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 as the great deal maker and negotiator. His egotistical bombast made it seem he was the quintessential wheeler dealer. Once he was elected, we saw this was merely egomaniacal ranting. He instigated trade wars against Mexico, Canada, the EU and China but in the end, he did not come away with much in the way of advantages. In fact, as a result of his “deal”, US farmers suffered!  

In 2024 Trump campaigned as the “peace candidate” bosting he would end the war in Ukraine immediately after being inaugurated and he would bring peace to Gaza. Not only has Trump not facilitated the end of the Ukraine War or stopped the genocide in Gaza, he is neck deep enabling Israel’s naked aggression against Iran a nation his own intelligence community stated as recently as March 2025, was not in the process of making a nuclear weapon!  https://jewishinsider.com/2025/03/gabbard-iran-is-not-currently-developing-nuclear-weapons/

This is Trump’s MO, make bombastic pronouncements and promises then do nothing to actualize them or backtrack on them altogether. Look at what he’s done with his on, off, on again tariff threats. The only campaign promise he has kept was his pledge to secure the borders. But now he is saying he is getting blowback about the deportation of honest hard-working immigrants who lack the paperwork to make them citizens. How will he address this blowback?

War is breaking out all over. Trump the so-called peace candidate is proving unable to stop these wars because he is being undermined and sabotaged by the neocons and warmongers like Lindsey Graham and the EU, or because of his own ineptitude. We must never forget Trump is sending Ukraine and Israel money and armaments from US taxpayers who do not want war, he is prolonging and exacerbating these conflicts, killing innocent civilians and creating distrust and animosity against America around the world! His approval ratings were already declining, I suspect they will fall even lower due to his failure to keep his promises to keep us out of more forever wars.

A song asked and answered the question, “War, what is it good for, absolutely nothing.” The bottom line of the Military Industrial Complex says this is not true, to them war is quite profitable. From the perspective of warmongers and psychopaths war is exciting and exhilarating. For some politicians war is a means to usurp more power during a manufactured “emergency” or crisis they had a direct hand in creating. For megalomaniacal settler/invaders violence and warfare are the means to expropriate other people’s land, property, natural resources and physical territory.

We are witnessing how psychopathic fanatics are using myth, war and disinformation to achieve land expropriation and ethnic cleansing in the name of a deity who supposedly chose a tribe of nomads as his favorite group in the whole world, promised them land that was already occupied and inhabited for thousands of years and ordered them to slaughter all of the indigenous inhabitants!  According to their myths, this deity was so psychotic he became enraged when his “chosen” people failed to totally slaughter and destroy all the property of the indigenous people that he severely punished them for disobeying him and not committing genocide and rapine! Taking these myths on “faith” has been the cause of much bloodletting, suffering, social disruption and terror.

The supreme irony is the Zionists are not the descendants of the Hebrews.  The Ashkenazim are not Semites. The Ashkenazim have no genetic, historic or cultural connections to the ancient Israelites or Judeans whatsoever. But they concocted a myth that they are and they are using this lie to advance their goals of ethnic cleansing, regional and global domination.

We are watching the agendas of corporate greed; globalist warmongers and fanatics coalescing and unfolding as planned. From a moral perspective, if we remain silent and passive, if we offer no resistance; we are complicit in murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing atrocities!

See Beyond the Fog

 

                                                        See Beyond the Fog

                                                       Junious Ricardo Stanton


            There is a term called the fog of war which was made popular following WWII. It pertained to the uncertainty of war; how often tactical decisions were made lacking the Information or intelligence required which led to uncertainty. In modern times it came to mean a covering or obscuring of truth. We now know wars are waged by deception by the leaders on both sides of the conflict, simultaneously directed against the enemy and their own people!  

Physical fog occurs when dense clouds of water or ice droplets develop and settle close to ground level as opposed to the upper atmosphere. Dense fog makes it difficult to see; the denser the fog the harder it is to see thus making visibility problematic. We are all familiar with waking up in the morning seeing smoke like fog covering the ground extending deep into our surroundings making it extremely difficult to see anything.

            The word fog is a common word and it has many usages in our daily language. Fog is used as a synonym or metaphor for: confusion, mystery, depression and discombobulation. We hear people say I’m in a fog or I had brain fog. The word fog is also used to depict the barrier between illusion and reality.

            In today’s society we are deliberately kept in a fog by the owners and controllers of globalized financial capital, the shot callers, the plutocrats, the powers who shouldn’t be. We are kept in a psychological and emotional fog designed to obscure and obfuscate truth and reality, to keep us fearful, disoriented, easily manipulated and mailable. They use their ownership and control over the media and its content to shape our perceptions, fashion artificial consensus and shape our “reality”, a reality that is often not in our best interests but one that benefits them!

These societal overlords need to keep us this way so they can dupe, distract and deceive us into going for their okey-doke and falling for their flim-flam. They need to keep is in a submissive, uncritical, somnambulant state so we never challenge their narratives, question their assertions, openly defy their orders and mandates and resist their nefarious agendas. They need us to be Zombies, mindless automatons and willing workers doing exactly what we are told and programmed to do.

Some example of the deliberately manufactured fog they have unleashed on us are: COVID-19 was a novel (new) virus, that it was causing a global pandemic, only by using repurposed (they were already in existence but the original reason they were developed and created did not work because most of the lab animals kept dying), unsafe, DNA altering, mRNA injections could provide protection and prevent the spread of this new “pathogen” that had a 98% recovery rate for healthy people!

Another fogging of truth is the preposterous notion the indigenous people of Palestine who have no military, no advanced weaponry, no technological sophistication or acumen somehow poses an “existential threat” to an apartheid settler nation which was carved out in their midst, that uses advanced surveillance technology, lethal weaponry, to exert logistical and military control over the Palestinians. We are kowtowed into passively watching as these “Israelis” who have no genetic or historic connection to the ancient Hebrews conduct a real time campaign of genocide against the Palestinians.

One good thing about natural fog is, it doesn’t last long, it usually dissipates in a few hours. Man made fog is different. It can last as long as the people creating it have the resources and materials to manufacture it. This is why we have to use discernment to recognize real fog from fakery. We have to learn to see through the fake fog, stay focused on reality as we define it. We have to persevere and not allow the miscreants to confuse us, obscure reality or obfuscate the truth. Open your eyes, look, see for yourself beyond the fog and walk your own path towards truth and reality.
