I follow crackpots.

Good to know.

I love followers, as you probably know, all too well.

For those who have not lived and worked in the Middle East it is hard to grasp the fact that Arab countries generally neither like the current regime in Iran, nor Hamas controlled Gaza. They would not be sorry to see both demolished.

Dear Folks,

People who know me have always considered me to be quite a Casssandra.

I like to think of myself as the modern-day Kassandra of the unbiased kind.

I have no need to read tea leaves or oracle bones because, in fact, it is within my own bones that I feel the future.

Some believe that women have this SIXTH SENSE of intuition and premonition about future events which men are unable to comprehend. I have found that the feminine side of me, though I be, indeed, merely a man, also retains these powers of prescience, even though I am completely male, biologically speaking.

And so I say to those who might listen:

We are now at a pivotal Tipping-Point for our entire world, one like we have seldom seen before.

And, although it may prove true that we are powerless to alter our destiny, Man’s destiny, yet still, we are able to see the writing on the wall. Or, at least, a few of us can see what most refuse to see.

Here is an enlightening vid, just one more in a series of them, which proves my point, about pivotal Tipping-Points.

And, those in the know are beginning to recognize the looming and near-future implementation of…

The Samson Option.

The real curse for those who are able to see the future is that, even though we see through the glass less darkly, we remain utterly powerless to change what we predict will befall us. And, what is worse, nobody listens, nor pays us heed.

If you will not listen to me, I say, then please listen to those even more learned than I.

Enjoy this vid…if you will.

And, Oh Yeah, lest I close before explaining the Samson Option:

A picture is worth a thousand words…

Samson pulled down the temple and destroyed those who did not obey God. Their hubris angered the one and only just God. They were destroyed by their unwillingness to follow the moral path.

God will destroy the Temple, it has been said…

If Man refuses to follow the spirit of God’s law.

Retribution and revenge is Mine, alone, said God.

And those who take vengeance and retribution into their own hands,

And those who allow hatred for their neighbor to take dominion over reason…

Will be quickly laid low.

We will all regret that it had to be this way.

Yet, those who refuse to obey the true commandments of God,..

Will cease to walk the Earth,...

In the blink of an eye.

No.

Actually, it is the opposite.

Nobody would wish to live there, even the Mullahs...

As I say, even the Mullahs don't like living in a derelict environment, and...

This is why they are so grumpy.

Give them water, and let the desert bloom.

Maybe then, the Mullahs will become distracted by the beauty of Nature.

But, Really: Who can blame the Arabs for being so fractious?

If you grew up in a desert, with only a camel for a prospective marriage partner....then...

You have rather missed the point but never mind.

I have not missed the point.

It's widely believed by Israelis that if Israel were in actual danger of being overrun by Arab armies or if an Arab country used a nuclear weapon on Israel, then Israel would nuke Mecca, the holiest city in Islam, to destroy the Grand Mosque and the Kaaba, Islam's holiest site. Believers could no longer perform the Hajj, one of the obligations placed on Muslims.

Such an attack would throw the entire Muslim religion into turmoil with effects no one can predict. The Saudi Royal Family is well aware of this.

But so many theories out there about this war, so hard to know what's going on.

Another theory being seriously and widely considered is that Saudi Arabia and MBS, rather than Israel, essentially pushed Trump into the war because they had paid him for it. The Saudis have already funneled billions to Trump through Kushner and are expected to provide billions more to Kushner as long as the US continues bombing Iran. As you probably know, many Gulf states want the US to stop escalating its aggression against Iran, but Saudi Arabia does not appear to be among them. Instead, Saudi Arabia seems keen for the bombing of Iran to continue, while relying on the US for protection if Iran were ever to become more aggressive toward them, even though that seems like far less of a military risk at this point.

Never heard that theory before.

But Trump just claimed that Iran wanted to take over the Middle East and would have not only obliterated Israel, but other Arab countries.

So could be.

He keeps insisting that he doesn't want wars and he is preventing WW3. Maybe Iran was a genuine threat and he had no choice. Let's see what other information comes out.

That’s how and why he gets paid for his time. Simple formula. Roll him out, give him the script, kaching.

Another Sachs video popped in my feeds.

Now he is claiming "The End of Zionism is Nigh".

Actually, maybe I shouldn't have dismissed him so lightly.

It does appear that anti-Israel sentiment is rising, so maybe Sachs knows something we don't. So it may be plausible, but counter-intuitive as Iran was one of the Zionist's biggest obstacle ...

But this is BIG news if there is any truth to it.

For decades Israel pretended to be an innocent country established after the horrors of the holocaust for the protection of the Jews. Turns out, it was all a lie. The zionist project is much older and has little to do with the wishes of the Jews when it was established. Inherently a christian doctrine, Zionism was always a plan to resettle the jews of Europe even against their will and to dominate West Asia in the process. Today, prof. Jeffrey Sachs and prof. Yakov Rabkin are discussing the past and the future of a racist settler-colonial political project that has become so violent in the past decade that the entire world now sees it for what it is. An irredeemable political sin.

I don't believe for a second believe that Zionism is dying, It has changed character over the years, but it certainly shows no sign of dying. It's gone from reclaiming the Jewish homeland and building a Jewish-majority state to defending the homeland against massive attack.

But if we ever reach the stage that Zionism does die, it won't go quietly. It will take a hell of a lot of Arabs, maybe the entire Middle East, with it. The Arab and Muslim world has always underestimated the determination of Jews to protect themselves and their homeland.

Sorry, I don't buy those narratives, plus Trump can never be taken at his word.

Personally, I do not think Trump attacked Iran for one main specific reason. I think his motives were multi layered. In my view, he did it to appease MBS (Saudi Arabia), Bibi (Israel), to try to prevent Iran from possibly becoming a greater military threat in the future, and to specifically target the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family because, after Trump ordered the drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani in January 2020, Khamenei vowed lethal revenge against Trump and his family personally.

Of course, a fifth reason, and perhaps one of the biggest, would be the effort to gain greater control over Iran’s oil supplies and reduce China’s access to it.

Beyond that, I do not think there is much more to it. I do not think Trump truly cares about regime change one way or the other. It makes no real difference to him. He is purely transactional and not a man motivated by empathy, but purely by personal benefit. And the notion that Iran posed any immediate threat to America or its allies was further dispelled by Joe Kent’s resignation yesterday.

Some conspiracy folks are connecting this Iran situation to the Greater Israel expansion plans.

But Netanyahu has talked about it openly, so it's not conspiracy.

Arab countries under US or Western protectorate will never of course directly attack Israel.

But as in the past, they will definately fund and arm proxy groups to do so. What do you think Qatar has been doing for years as well as Saudi Arabia or Abu Dhabi ?
