World War Of Attrition

 Much Abraded,


  Where are we in the flow of history after Friday the 13th? Is Trump wholeheartedly in cahoots with genocidal Zionists in Israel-Palestine, or merely completely owned by them? Does it matter? Is he "agreement capable" a little bit, in some things, or not at all? Does his heart's desire matter, whatever it might be?
  This is so hard to suss out that I won't try. Trump acts as if he is owned, and is willing to lie and disseminate to accomplish the desired ends of those at the reins of the Israeli state. 
  What are the interests of the Israeli State? In 1982 "The Zionist Plan For The Middle East" was translated and published. Here is an opening excerpt:
​  “To survive, Israel must 1) become an imperial regional power, and 2) must effect the division of the whole area into small state by the dissolution of all existing Arab states.”​   https://archive.org/details/the-zionist-plan-for-the-middle-east-by-oded-yinon-israel-shahak-yinon-oded-shah/mode/1up

​  So Israel has systemically worked to weaken and break up all neighboring states. Egypt has been politically and financiially co-opted with US assistance, Iraq has been invaded and subdued, Syria has been violently regime-changed, and Lebanon has been wracked by internal war for 50 years. Iran is the last regional power which has not been subdued, and retains an adversarial and autonomous stance, despite imperial sanctions and intrigues. Things standing in the way of Israeli regional hegemony include Palestinians on their ancestral lands, principled Yemenis, principled resistance in Lebanon and other co-opted countries, and the government of Iran.
  Attacking Iran, with the threat of nuclear war, is an attention getter, a distraction from the genocide of Palestinians in Occupied Palestine, including Gaza and the West Bank. Will Israel gas them as the world looks elsewhere? Starving, bombing, destroying their water and sewers, and attacking native Palestinians with diseases has not accomplished the "final solution" yet. 
  Iranian people have long undergone austerity from imperial sanctions, while the country remained on an effective war-footing, putting resources into war preparations. This has made people deeply unhappy, and the empire has attempted color revolution there, which came up short, but many years have now passed. Regime change appears to be the imperial goal for the current war. 
  How might Iran declare victory? Would surviving be enough? They are keeping that bar set fairly low. Continuing nuclear power generation and low level uranium enrichment appears to be what they are currently touting as prevailing. They can't invade Israel, and Israel can't invade Iran.
  Israel seems to have set the victory-bar at destroying Iranian nuclear and military capacities, but that is a very high bar, and Iran can still strike Israel's nuclear reactors and electrical grid generation and transmission infrastructure.
  At the extremes, Israel seems unlikely to be broken in any way without inflicting nuclear attacks upon neighbors, as well as Iran. How could "they" fold without playing that card? It seems possible, but complicated and expensive. Who would do the payoffs?
  Would Iran make and deliver a nuclear warhead if driven to the extreme? They have said that they could make a device in 2 weeks. 
  Iran, like Russia and China, who openly support Iran in this, is conservative, risk averse in war, so likely to continue a long campaign against Israel, not rising to a provocation to nuclear attack. Israel is vulnerable to a long war of attrition, as its soldiers and citizens tire of the austerities required. Shipping restrictions take their toll. People can't work in air raid shelters...
  Israel seems to seek a "justification" for a nuclear attack, and is bound to spend much time considering false flag attacks upon US interests, to blame on Iran, among possible ways to get the US to go to war against Iran, in the interests of the Zionist state.
  European finance, Black Rock and The City of London interests, are broadly considered to be over-leveraged into bad investments in Ukraine, needing a bigger war, with energency powers, rather than a peace with new territorial boundaries, which would force them to declare losses on their interests in areas incorporated into Russia.
  The underlying reality is the post-peak-oil decline of industrial economy in the world, as finance continue to show exponential growth, until some crisis forces finance to again approximately reflect real economy. If World War 3 is somehow avoided, then the power hierarchy will change in our world, as it is doing to some degree, already. This is messy and unsatisfactory. It looks it will be messy and unsatisfactory for a long time to come, which is a best case scenario.

​Simplicius,  True Promise 3: Iran Responds With Long-Awaited Hypersonic Retaliation
Iran launched the next stage of their True Promise 3.0 operation, targeting various sites of Israeli energy and military infrastructure. This time it reportedly included the latest Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles...
..Among the targets was the Haifa refinery and Israeli research center of the Weizmann Institute for Science in Rehovot, near Tel Aviv...
..The Haifa Oil Refinery in northern occupied Palestine supplies more than 60% of Israel’s fuel needs, from gasoline and diesel to jet fuel for the Air Force. With these facilities damaged in tonight's Iranian attack, Israel’s will face a fuel problem. This successful attack on Haifa’s refinery is a strategic blow to Israel's economic and military backbone...
..The Weizmann Institute for Science, has been damaged by an Iranian ballistic missile in the most recent attacks on central Israel. The building is located in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, and a fire has reportedly broken out...
..Israel had likewise hit Iran’s largest natural gas field—the South Pars—which also happens to be the largest in the world​...
..Most of Israel’s strike footage against Iranian ground assets turned out to be decoys, as none of the MRBMs were seen to ignite at all after massive ordnance landed on top of them...
..Clips emerged of some ‘large aircraft’ Iran claimed were destroyed F-35s, but which were probably drones. Also, claims of Israeli ‘infiltration’ success and ‘secret bases’ appeared to be more exaggerated psyop fodder as it turned out Israelis were operating out of secret Azerbaijan bases, launching drones and various other objects at Iran from every direction. This, by the way, is not anything new...
​..Israel does not have the bunker buster bombs needed to destroy the Fordow nuclear facility in the mountains.
​  The US has them. And an Israeli official told Axios that “the US could still join the operation, and that President Trump even suggested he would do so if necessary when he spoke to Netanyahu in the days leading up to the attack.”
​  "But a White House spokesman denied that, telling Axios that Trump had said the opposite​".​..
..The plan all along was obviously to goad Iran into an overwhelming response that would somehow incite the US to enter the war on behalf of Israel, in order to finish off Iran. The nuclear program was likely a false target, the real objective being the total overthrow of Iran’s leadership and the fomenting of civilian uprisings throughout the country to bring Iran to heel under a Western puppet-led government...
​..Trump stands poised on the knife’s edge of one of his most historically critical decisions—whether to betray the mandate of the American people and consign his second term and dwindling legacy to the trash heap of history, or to pull back on the strings of Miriam Adelson and other donors and show a spine in standing up for the real ‘America First’ vision he promised.​..
..What if Trump was actually setting a trap for Israel the entire time? Israel had expected the US to join in and “finish off Iran”, while Trump could now pull the rug from under them, leaving Israel to its devices and instead letting Iran finish Israel off—or at least facilitate the deposition of the Bibi regime. Could it be?​ ...  I have it as 70/30 chance that saner heads prevail in the US with Trump electing to not enter the war.​   https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/true-promise-3-iran-responds-with

​  “Despite such a complicated situation, the Russian and American presidents didn’t rule out a return to the negotiating track on the Iranian nuclear program,” Putin’s aide added.
​  On Friday, Iran confirmed that Israeli attacks killed Major General Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Major General Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, along with several nuclear scientists. In retaliation, Tehran fired dozens of ballistic missiles into Israel, some of which reportedly breached its air defenses.​

​  Pepe Escobar,  The whole planet is being kept hostage by a death cult
Let’s cut to the chase. The devastating attack on Iran by the psychopathological genocidal “chosen” ethno-supremacist set up in Tel Aviv – a de facto declaration of war – was coordinated in detail with the President of the United States, Circus Ringmaster Donald Trump.
​  This infantilism-afflicted Narcissus Drowned in the Pool of his Own Image gave away the game, himself, in a rambling post. Selected highlights:
“I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal”. No “deal”; actually his unilateral demands. After all, he torpedoed the original deal, the JCPOA, because it was not his “deal”.
​  “I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told.” The decision to strike had already been made.
“Certain Iranian hardliners spoke bravely, but (…) they are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse!” Gloating comes with the territory.
​  “The next already planned attacks being even more brutal.” Total alignment with the trademark Israeli “decapitation” strategy.
“Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire”.​  ...                                                                ..Air defenses are nowhere to be seen. It’s immensely painful to watch.
​  IDF spin – nothing verified so far – claims that some missile silos and mobile complexes were destroyed even before they were placed on combat alert. Yet the fact is that the overwhelming majority of Iran’s vast arsenal of ballistic missiles is stored in deep, deep underground silos and tunnels, capable of withstanding massive air strikes and overloaded air defenses.
​  For the moment, Tehran is eerily silent. That makes sense, because they need, in record time, to re-establish a unified chain of command which was smashed by the attacks; make sure that missile launchers can be deployed and not be neutralized by Israeli air supremacy; reorganize the True Promise 3 operation, which was ready to go, as some of us learned in Tehran last month, but now adapted to the new situation...
..There is no evidence that the attacks destroyed Iran’s nuclear infrastructure – which is buried deep underground. As it stands, the leadership in Tehran is learning the hard way that diplomacy – committees, letters to the UN, statements to the IAEA, ministerial meetings – all that is eviscerated when it comes to the law of the jungle...
..Systematically erasing Iran’s military and diplomatic leadership in a matter of hours fits the rationale of smashing Khamenei’s close circle. That has started long ago with the Trump-ordered killing of Soleimani and certainly includes the mysterious death of former President Raisi and FM Abdollahian in that dodgy helicopter “accident”. It’s all about creating the conditions for regime change...

​  AI Control of the US Military​:  Following orders will no longer be a concern
​  In the military, a "kill chain" refers to the sequential process of finding, fixing, tracking, targeting, engaging, and assessing a target. And the US military war machine has found that humans are not as willing to kill as much as they’d like them to.
​  After World War II, studies conducted by Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall showed that only 20% of U.S. infantrymen fired their weapons at the enemy, even when under direct threat. He attributed this to an innate human resistance to killing. He wrote in his book, Men Against Fire, that "the average and healthy individual has such an inner and usually unrealized resistance towards killing a fellow man that…at the vital point he becomes a conscientious objector."​

Israeli Channel 14 citing an Israeli official: "We have a long and broad offensive plan for the days ahead - complex days lie ahead. The Iranians will respond, if the public is disciplined, there will be few casualties. We are at war."​  ​...
​..Netanyahu’s failures in Gaza had compelled him to act, as he saw his chances slipping away. It therefore does not surprise me that Israeli officials are now characterizing the beginning of this war as a critical juncture in the history of Israel. Netanyahu called it the ‘decisive moment in Israeli history’​...
..We’ll have to wait and see if Iran mounts a response and how well-calculated or not it may be. We know Iran is risk-averse and did not want escalation, but at this point Israel has pushed it into a necessity to act or lose much deterrence credibility. The only question is whether Iran does another “show” strike to demonstrate its wrath, which does limited damage and seeks to signal de-escalation, or will Iran actually ‘go for the jugular’?

​  John Helmer,  TELL-AND-CONSEQUENCES IS NOT A WAR GAME, NEITHER IS TURN-THE-OTHER-CHEEK
  In the game which Trump and President Vladimir Putin are playing over the negotiations to end the war in the Ukraine, the sequence and accumulation of words have begun to lose their  meaning. This isn’t funny.
​  Russian sources confirm the conviction in the Kremlin that Trump knew of the plan of the June 1 nuclear airbase attack and approved it. When Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov telephoned Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the evening after the attack,  it was tell-and-consequences. Lavrov told Rubio he was  instructed to ask what the Americans had known; to inform him that whatever he said, the operation was a violation of Russia’s nuclear deterrence policy;   and that accordingly it would have grave consequences. (In military escalation jargon as in hospital patient bulletins, grave is more serious than serious.) Lavrov said that the first consequence Russia expected from the US was public acknowledgement, and also public acceptance that Russian retaliation would follow. Lavrov also told Rubio that Putin expected to speak directly to Trump.
​  Putin spoke first at a meeting with government officials, but he didn’t refer to the airbase attack. Instead, it was one of  the “criminal provocations”, as Lavrov said to Putin at the meeting – terrorist actions as other officials said. The Russian position would be not to make explicit the strategic consequences, and as Lavrov said, “not to fall into the trap of these provocations, which are clearly designed to derail the talks and continue arms deliveries from European nations.”  
​  Nothing has followed from Rubio.
​  On June 3, Trump’s representative for the end-of-war negotiations, Keith Kellogg, was told to say on television that there had been a “[nuclear] triad attack” and that the rising “risk levels…are to me basically unacceptable.”  
​  The next day Trump and Putin spoke by telephone.  Trump acknowledged that “we discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.”​

Back To Basics

 Fundamentalists,


  Global Financiers have a lot of non-performing assets and need a global financial reset wherein they retain power and ownership, which seems like a bad idea to many of us who are not in that small elite chohort. The WEF "Great Reset" with the "Own nothing and be happy" sales pitch has been poorly received. The COVID pandemic  mass vaccinations got about 70% of people, who are having lots of medical problems and excess mortality, but the control-narrative failed to get full traction, and it is flipping into backfire mode among more and more people, so a new control narrative is needed, maybe a financial crisis and a new pandemic that hits the "vaccinated" with their weakened immune systems, and maybe World War-III between NATO and Russia can be arranged. Problematically, Russia is both prepared for that and opposed to that, and the US President is opposed to it, and the "faithful" within the government, military and security apparatus who kept him out of the loop, and out of the real chain of command in his first term, have less traction, and may have just revealed themselves by keeping him in the dark about Ukrainian covert attacks upon Russia's strategic bombers.
  What happens to exponentially expanding debt-based money when it becomes clear that the economy will be shrinking into the future, not growing? All of that debt needs to be written down. Who will be forced to accept the losses. The dead will accept losses, but that is not enough. Global wealth, as typified by asset-manager BlackRock is still in a powerful position, but will not be when the Global Financial Crisis Part-2 kicks in, which event is uncertain in timing and location, but the UK has backed a lot of bad Ukrainian debt to forestall the Ukrainian default last summer, and Ukraine has now defaulted again, this time with the UK Prime Minister working very hard to criminalize all dissent as racist hate speech, and whip the country into a war-footing. I must wish him complete failure for his own good and for all of humanity.
  AI is the new best-weapon-ever, and is controlled by the owners, their stewards in government, and tech entepreneurs, who are beta testing it in public facing versions, and privately arranging for it to manage economies and wars against competing teams who are doing the same thing. They might be "successful".

  Moon of Alabama,  The Deep State Is Still Sabotaging Presidential Policies
Ambassador M.K. Bhadrakumar reminds us of subtle maneuvers by deep state actors to sabotage presidential policies.
​  When a U.S. spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union President Dwight Eisenhower had not be informed about its real mission. The CIA claimed that it had been a weather plane that went off course after its pilot was incapacitated. The president repeated that tale.
​  The Soviets then published that the wreckage of the U-2 spy plane had been recovered and the pilot captured alive. The Soviets were miffed of being lied to and Eisenhower's attempt of detente with them failed.
​  Bhadrakumar sees a parallel in the recent Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic bomber on several Russian air field.​

​  Ukraine Just 'Gave Putin A Reason To Bomb The Hell Out Of Them,' Trump Says
​  On Friday Trump was asked whether Ukraine's drone strikes deep inside Russia changed his view of Zelensky's "cards". For months, Trump has said that Kiev has no cards to play, but reporters wondered if last Sunday's 'Operation Spider's Web' - which involved Ukrainian drone attacks deep inside Russia and damage at five key airbases, including destruction of strategic bombers - has changed where things stand in Trump's mind.
​  Trump responded to reporters aboard Air Force One by saying, "Well they gave Putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them last night. That’s the thing I didn’t like about it."​

  Gilbert Doctorow now wonders if Russia will go-all-the-way:Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern on ‘Judging Freedom,’ 6 June 2025​  
  I never was in accord with Paul Craig Roberts that Vladimir Putin’s reasonable, sage and humane approach to the war with Ukraine is leading to ever more escalation and taking us precisely where Putin does not want to go, namely to a global nuclear war. I never was in agreement with Sergei Karaganov that Russia must stage a devastating strike in Western Europe to puncture the bubble of condescension and scorn for Russia’s supposed weakness and bring the European leaders to their senses.
​  However, I am becoming much more sympathetic to both of these positions day by day. We have already lost prospects for renewed arms negotiations talks thanks to the airbase attacks.
​  You cannot watch every kilometer of rail track or rail bridges across Russia to ensure the security of Russian citizens. The only solution, now that Putin has identified the Kiev regime as a terrorist state, is to destroy the decision-making centers, starting with Mr. Budanov and his whole team of terror planners and operatives in downtown Kiev. One Oreshnik hypersonic missile can do that.  Will Mr. Putin do what has to be done, or not?​

​  Globalists Go Radio Silent As NATO Flirts With World War III
​  The continuing attacks on nuke related armaments and infrastructure suggest to me an attempt by Kyiv and NATO to create a situation so chaotic that it opens the door to troop deployments and direct confrontation with Moscow before anyone can catch up to what is happening.
​  Without war, the globalists have nothing. Maybe they can pull off an economic crisis (all the pieces are certainly in place), but in a vacuum they could get the blame. War offers a valuable distraction for the masses and an ever adaptable scapegoat. People broke and starving? Well, that’s just war. The dollar crashing? Currencies are at risk during war. Freedoms being curtailed? Hey, people need to set aside their liberties for the sake of “security”.
​  There’s a reason why multi-nation wars almost always occur just after historic economic declines.  The two crises feed into each other, but the wars also provide cover for extensive centralization schemes.  Each successive world war brings us a step closer to world government and a centrally controlled global economic system.
​  The globalists in Europe are doing everything in their power to prolong the conflagration. They know Ukraine is never going to get their lost territory back. They know that Russia is generating a massive breakout on the front lines in the east. They have no peace plan. Their purpose is to force a direct confrontation between NATO forces and Russian troops. It’s the only explanation for the attacks on Russian nuclear armaments. It’s a provocation designed to end all chances of a ceasefire and take the war to the next level.​

  “Despite our coordination efforts with the monitoring committee to prevent an attack, and dispatching patrols to inspect several sites, the Israeli side rejected the proposal,” the army said.
​  On Thursday evening, Israeli fighter jets launched eight air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburb, following evacuation warnings. The attack marked the fourth and most intense Israeli strike on the area since the Nov. 27, 2024 ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.​

​  Thanks Eleni,  Greeks arrested for shouting “Free Palestine” to Israeli tourists
Criminal prosecution for ​"illegal violence with racist motives​" was brought against four young men who dared to shout “Free Palestine” at Israeli tourists.
​  The latter reacted strongly and in the end replied “we have a lot of money”, meaning that this gives them the right to do whatever they want.
It all happened last Thursday morning, May 27,  on the beach of Vouliagmeni in south-east Attica.
​  The tourists from Israel called the police who arrested one of the accused, who was shouting slogans against the genocide taking place in Palestine.
However, later, with the same charges – namely, illegal violence with racist motives (82A P.C.) for a slogan in favor of Palestine – the friends of the arrestee were also arrested, when they went to the Police Station where he had been transferred in order to support him.
According to the prosecution, the racist violence suffered by the tourists from Israel is that… they were forced to leave the beach when they had no obligation to.​

​  IAEA: Important sites of Iran's nuclear program are located at a depth of hundreds of meters
​  Grossi has reported that the most sensitive sites of Iran's nuclear program are located at a very great depth - over 800 meters underground. This is 9-10 times deeper than previously assumed (80-90 meters).
​   The discovery immediately attracted the attention of experts in Israel and the West. This seriously changes the threat assessment – objects at such a depth are extremely difficult to destroy even with powerful bunker buster munitions.​
