Thank you, its always felt unfair the Trump mess up in Iran. Lets hope the hold Tel Aviv and Washington have is loosened. Lets hope the Iranian people stop getting blamed and both Washington and Tel Aviv are seen for what they are. Iran has lost many lives in this unnecessary war but the real losers will hopefully be America and Israel and maybe the forever wars will stop. It's amazing the rhetoric has taken hold of how awful Iran is. Yes there have been some terrible things, Nazanin Zachari-Radcliffe for one comes to mind. She paid dearly with six years of imprisonment in Iran, not helped by Boris Johnson 's absurd remarks. Then the 16 year olds Nika Shakarami and Asra Panahi being beaten to death and the 22 year old Mahasa Amina who also died , protesting about the hijab rules. Then you look at ICE in America and those killed in the street and in detention centres, or the repression of free speech against genocide in Britain and young people being charged with being terrorists. The world needs less war and more acceptance for positive change. Corruption, lying and greed needs addressing.

I care more than you could ever know, hence my not quite politically correct Freudian grammar slip exaggeration.

Important commentary on the state of things now and probably quite awhile prior. Nobody wants to feel they’ve been utterly duped.

You’re always correct in your reporting! Thank you! I will try to become a paid subscriber at the end of this month!

This is great work, again. When it's spelt out like this, it makes the Machiavellian geopolitical games, and the propaganda that go with it, quite silly.

Incredible how not one dot of this makes sense, unless you realise that Israel wants war, because it can then kill (even more) freely.

Finally it’s been described in the NYT of all places .

Superb journalism .

Leaving one to wonder what other plans Israel has been up to. . 911?

Influence is so deep upon the weak mind of money .

We have always known about these facts that will be buried along with the Epstein files.

Not everyone knows. Ignorance runs deep, some very deliberate and others via lack of …energy, concern, thought process, actual intelligence, time… and/or presence of…motivation to suck up to those in power, lots of money so who cares, ignorance/illiteracy, connections to nefarious people, fear of losing a job if one utters a word outside perceived accepted thinking.
