Analysis: "The Folly of A War With Iran"

Israel & neocons in the US have long tried to start a war with Iran, "a war that neither Israel nor the U.S. can win."

These neocons, bonded with Israel, “will not tolerate any rival power, any challenge to American leadership."

"They will create facts on the ground – a war between Israel & Iran – that will “pull Trump into a war with Iran.”

It just feels incredibly short-sighted of Israel and the US and all their supporters in the west. What is aim of war with Iran even assuming it can be won? Regime change? Surely that just creates another power vacuum in the middle east and other than the ISIS groups, who does that favour? Have these folk learned nothing from Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan?

@IndyRichard

I'm no expert, but I've read enough of analysts such as Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, & Ilan Pappé to know that Netanyahu is living out the Zionists' (incl his daddy's) dream of expelling the Palestinians, wiping out all enemies, & fulfilling the "Greater Israel" project (map 👇)

Zionists were doing ethnic cleansing, slow genocide, & stealing Palestinian land since imperial Britain gave them the go-ahead in the 1920s.

As to US, does hubris ever learn?

So on this 14th we have: Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey is threatening to kill protesters, while at the same time a politically motivated assassination attempt by persons dressed indistinguishable from police - driving squad like cars. F-ing powder keg with blood on the floor.

It's now no longer "attempted" as Tim Walz has confirmed that Melissa Hortman and her husband are dead.


Juvenile Heron in Golden Light

We were all sitting out on the porch in front of my wife's little quilting shop when she pointed out a heron perched to the west, just beyond a strip of low trees marking the edge of our property. At first, I didn’t see it—I was looking in the wrong place. But once I spotted it, I rushed inside to grab my camera, and voilà, here it is! A great blue heron (Ardea herodias), possibly a juvenile, judging by its muted plumage. I love how it demonstrates just how incredibly flexible that long neck is—nature’s elegance in motion.

Please be careful with what you consume, what you amplify, and what you conclude, today.

It is important to understand that, in addition to the domestic threats of right-wing terrorism, the right wing in government has empowered any number of operational adversaries that seek to take advantage of and magnify chaos here.

in reply to Ian Campbell

The government bodies that would previously seek to protect us from information operations or kinetic operations by foreign adversaries are now either gone or very, very weakened. CISA, intelligence agencies, fusion centers, and similar.

This provides those adversaries opportunities to escalate chaos in many ways. Some of them have honed skills in this over centuries, and are very good at it.

in reply to Ian Campbell

The non-government organizations that have sought to protect us from disinformation operations and chaos-sowing adversaries have all been sued into the ground by the right wing as well, and threatened by our right wing government.

Alex Stamos, Renee DiResta, and many others precarized and terrorized to incentivize them to abandon their missions.

So please, please, be careful today about what you take in, and what you put out there.



I'm not going to make a blanket statement that I would never accept *any* king, just not *that* dumb motherfucker.


Genuine question- the shooter in Minnesota was “indistinguishable” from a real police officer, and people are being advised to not answer the door for anyone, including police? So… how can you trust if it’s real police at your door, pulling you over, etc going forward?

Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.

If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.

There are so many great pictures of #NoKings protest signs I would love to share, but no #AltText means no boost. 🤷‍♂️

Le sigh.

If you post a reply with #alt4u text, people can see it and then see who posted the image. And the person posting the image will have alt text to add.

Just a suggestion - I like doing this. It's soothing.

Tim Walz has now confirmed that Melissa Hortman and her husband are dead. John Hoffman and his wife are alive and in serious condition after surgery. This is horrifying.

Owner Of D.C. Doggy Daycare Worried Her Military Parade Float Sticking Out theonion.com/owner-of-d-c-dogg…



Two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes early Saturday
by a man who apparently posed as a police officer — and is still on the loose.

Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman was shot in her Brooklyn Park home,

while fellow party member Sen. John Hoffman was targeted roughly 8 miles away in Champlin.

A manhunt is on for the suspect, who was wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.
