Donald J. Trump – today’s acting President of Greater Israel – has fully revealed to the World who and what he is really is.

Like another President known as B. O. – Trump has shown himself to be a slick talker and skilled salesman but nothing as he once presented himself to be. We Americans have again have been duped like just so many clueless saps.

Another thing we have learned is that there has actually been two different MAGAs going on. There is the authentic MAGA being the proud core of Americans who cling to legacy American values and the integrity of American citizenship and the National border. And then there is the fake MAGA led by the acting President of Greater Israel who packaged and used words and imagery of MAGA to sell himself to the American People while masking his true devotion as just another functionary tool of the land of the Self Chosen.

Yet even now after the big bombs have already been dropped and wreckage still smoldering and with his chest stilled puffed out… the acting President of Greater Israel waits for further pats on the head from his true Bosses.

What does America – real America with real Americans – get out of this newest Middle East fiasco? As usual, not a damned thing. This action was done (and future ones yet to come) solely to benefit the Self Chosen, period. Americans never were supposed to get anything out of this. This is Fake MAGA in glorious nakedness and in not-so-living color.

Screams of delight now also come from Neocons and their lackeys and apologists around the World. They have been stuck in frustrating foreplay lusting for this attack to happen for decades – and now it’s… Come! All that tension and anticipation finally satisfied and released. (Just don’t expect anyone to ask if it was good for YOU, too.)

Greater Israel. Why do things happen as they do in the World today (and for the past several decades?). Two words. Greater Israel. That’s all you need to know.

If the theology of The Self Chosen allows for one to achieve Sainthood then Mister Trump should not have to wait years to be elected to Their Hall of Fame but he should be named so right now. He is the one They have been praying for all these years. And he delivered. To borrow a phrase from another disgraced leader… Mission Accomplished.

The image of America around the World continue to smolder… along with the shattered ruins of the once-promising MAGA Movement. How to destroy a Movement – and one’s Trust – all in one easy lesson.

President Trump has done what his enemies couldn’t. He has destroyed MAGA – and what’s left of his credibility. He is as phony as those who today occupy the Land of the Chosen who came from another lands and DNA streams.

There’s Authentic, and then there’s Phony. And we’ve all just had a face-slapping lesson in the difference.

JHK, it appears that the bombing of Iran has closed their nuke facilities at least for awhile. It also appears that it has opened the looney bins around the world allowing access to all the anti Israel key board warriors.

For those that rely on the MSM for their news let me explain what happened: Israel simply conducted a mostly pieceful demonstration for those that just wanted to see some buildings burn.

Who are sucking up to, Marylin? The reason I frequent Mr. Kunstler's blog and comment section is because of the debate that rages here. I learn a significant amount reading posts that agree with Mr. Kunstler and disagree with him. The last place I want to be is on a comment section where everyone utters the same thing in agreement. No way. This is called "group think" and it is extremely dangerous.

I applaud Mr. Kunstler for his writings and his willingness to keep the comment section open. It takes massive cojones to do it. The man is a total stud. I don't care if he is Jewish, Armenian or Australian Aboriginal. The man opens himself to rampant disagreement and criticism and that demands respect.

Jimmy, Jimmy - have been enjoying your weekly missives for years, excellent writing. But it is so disappointing that you cannot accept the fact that Zionists are Israel's worst enemy. In fact these genocidal maniacs are threatening the very existence of the state of Israel. And dragging the US into a middle east quagmire which is about to begin in earnest. Fortunately there are young Jewish heroes such as Max Blumenthal and Aaron Matte who have recognized the threat the Zionist's insanity poses and are bravely speaking out against it. More power to them, may the powers that be listen to and heed their message before it is too late.

Look, Israel's children have tried, lots of things, and they have their reasons. What is really tiresome is assuming the worst outcome right from the git-go, or that Israel's children will go away.

Remember that Iran elected a democratic leader in Iran in 1952 named Mossedegh and he wanted to nationalize the oil for the people’s profit.

British Petroleum and U.S. oil corporations went crying to the CIA and in 1953 Mossedegh was overthrown and the Shah was put in power. He and his deadly Savak murdered thousands of Iranians and then came the overthrow and the religious take-over.

Now the Shah’s son is in a NYC hotel room waiting for the call to board the plane and come flying in to Iran to save the day and divvy up Iran’s resources to the highest U.S. and London bidders.

The Iranian people do NOT want the Shah anywhere near their country.

U.S./CIA “regime change wars” are becoming very stale. We regime changed in Ukraine in 2014 and look at where it is now with millions dead on the battlefields.

A Jew of 2000 years ago was generally one who resided in or originated in the area of Judea. They were called "Jus" by the Romans. Similar to how we are called "Americans" today. Judea was a melting pot of many cultures at the time and hot bed of rebellion. A real pain in the ass to the Romans.

Christ was of the lineage of the Tribe of Judah and hence a "Jew" of Judah's lineage.

Jews today had nothing to do with what the Jews did to Christ 2000 years ago.

What about Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program and their “Samson Option” Seymour Hersh wrote about decades ago?

We can thank the U.S. and France for giving Israel nukes.

Gradually the word about this is coming out.

Hey Donald! What about a “nuclear weapons free Middle East”?

Iran has said “yes”. What is Israel’s answer?

Asking Israel to get rid of its nuclear weapons is a reasonable question.

It's not the world's fault that the Israeli government can't seem to get along with its neighbors. Perhaps if they abandoned their nuclear program, their neighbors would be more accommodating and less violent.

Abiding Dude:

In the US at least, we have been sold on the idea the Shia are religious zealots who want to bring about the return of the Mahdi, and the only way that can happen is if the world is experiencing the chaos of war. We have been told that the Shia want to bring this about through war, because in the end, Islam will prevail and there will be peace for the world.

It seems that this belief is prevalent among the Twelvers, and supposedly 85%t to 90% of all Shia are Twelvers. So... we have been led to believe that the vast majority of Shia want a world war.

Is this true? I don't know. This is what we've been told in the US for decades.

Pakistan stole them, too, and they didn't have LBJ shipping them parts in crates marked "Texas Grapefruit". AQ Khan stole the blueprints from the Dutch nuclear plant he was working for, and sold them all over when a Muslim, El-Baradai, was head of the IAEA. The blueprinting was done in Pakistan, the machining done in Malaysia.

Remember that little brouhaha in 1999 after Al Gore had authorized hazmat handling equipment for the radioactive material? The Pakistanis threatened to use them on India.

That is curious. I am painfully familiar with the history and admin of "Landslide Lyndon" Johnson, and he never did anything that did not benefit him personally and directly (rather like Agent Orange, the current Resident). I do not see how he would benefit from passing nuclear tech to the Israelis, unless ... well, there is the theory that Israel did play a part in the Kennedy hit. Thus, it may have been a payoff - a big one - by LBJ, the chief beneficiary of that national tragedy.

No messy ground war, a grateful ally saved, thermonuclear mullah madness averted. Why the antisemites get so twisted up about helping a civilized Mideast nation, a crucible of science, discovery, and much-needed intellect and achievement aside, they simply hate Jews and can’t see past their hate. I pity them, but I also ignore them as much as I ignore their campus cultists destroying “higher ed.” I trust Trump to do the right thing, especially against people on the planet hellbent on liquidating my country.

The fact you can't stand that God decided to use us to both demonstrate His ways to the world through flawed people and as the vehicle by which He would redeem anyone who, like Abraham, accepted Him as savior and follow Him in faith, says more about your bigotry than it does anything about us Jews. Two, as Tears for Fears sang 40 years ago, "Everybody wants to rule the world." That's Jews, sure. But it's also Chinese, Americans, Russians, Brazilians, and Brits. Are you protesting the WEF messenger boy who's now PM of Canada, where he can try and derail Trump? Probably not -- because he's merely a oneself peer banker, but not a Jew.

The Jews were hardly "the original genociders". The Assyrians and Akkadians in the ancient middle east did their share of wiping defeated enemies.

Some of the largest genocides in history have been done by Muslims. Million Indians were killed when the Muslims invaded. Thus the Buddhists were wiped out in the home of Buddhism. The Mongols were notorious for killing entire nations full of people if they resisted demands for tribute. Persia and China were areas where over a million people were killed. (Persia used to be Zoroastrian.) The Turks committed the first modern day genocide on Armenians in World War 1.

Then there are the massacres of dozens, hundreds or thousands done by muslims upon non muslims in places like Nigeria and Indonesia all the time. There was a bad one in Nigeria just a week or so ago.

Those were not unusual tactics of war in ancient days, extending even into medieval times.

The "rule" that you don't go into a territory and kill all the people there is a modern one.

The definition of genocide is to try to get rid of an entire group. If that were the case the Israelis would be using the most lethal weapons imaginable. They don't have to worry about sparing anybody in Gaza, so they could use fuel air explosives, they could send squads in to machine gun everyone, you name it. THEY AREN'T DOING THAT.

“Genocide” is too strong of a term.

Nevertheless, Israel has wantonly killed tens of thousands of Gazan women and children in their eagerness to punish Hamas. Not a genocide, per se, but incredibly callous, and maybe a war crime.

For me the whole article was about this one paragraph below, which screams so much about how fucked up the general mindset is of our present day Merica:

Over here, the Oregon state legislature brought in drag-queens to entertain members in the chamber . . .California taxpayers subsidize the riots in LA . . . a federal judge orders Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from custody . . . AOC endorses a Muslim lunatic for mayor in New York. . . . So it goes.

Massie also tried to pass a bill requiring members of Congress to disclose whether they have dual citizenship. Most Americans do not want dual citizenship individuals to have the option to hold a governmental office. Trump was voted in on an 'America First' platform.

So did you write this or did a government propaganda person do it??? Did you forget the same lying agency that said Sadam had weapons of mass destruction says these lies. Did you forget that Bebe has been saying this garbage for over 20 yrs. Did you forget that the US and their CIA created this mess in the middle east with their meddling in the affairs there. Did you forget that they are the responsible people for overthrowing 2 regimes in Iran and installing the mullahs. Just like Ukraine and any country that they decided wouldn't go along with the US. North Korea, India, Pakistan also have nuclear capability and for sure North Korea can reach the US but not Iran. Everytime that the fake jews in Israel decide they want to further their empire they start trouble and here comes the US. So yeah we are a puppet who keeps pumping our money into Israel instead of taking care of our own people. Trump put Israel above what most of us voted for. Remember the campaign speeches..no more wars..close the bases around the world and bring our people home..oh and stop income tax on social security which was paid when the salaries were received...both the worker and the employer paid those taxes. His slogan should be make America great again after we take care of Israel. We are the biggest terrorists organization in the world.

Poor JHK. The first clue was the IAEA announcement - in the immediate aftermath o the performative *strike* - that there was no increase in radiation at any of the sites. But he didn't pick up on it. TACO, just as he did in Syria and Yemen.

Wow – I've stuck with you longer than I anticipated, largely because I love your writing style.

But your knowledge and interpretation of geopolitical events is off-the-scale delusional. Is it really possible that you have no idea that the American Empire is sinking faster than a sack of shit in a shaft? And that the actions of this Administration, largely through its 'foreign policy' and 'diplomacy', are turning virtually the entire world against you (the portion of the world that now matters, at any rate)?

Good luck. It's bye-bye from me.

We all have our agendas though it does appear that there is some cognitive dissonance going on. - Here's a fact: Trump ran on an 'America First' platform and the only Congressman who took zero dollars from AIPAC happens to be the sole leader with the guts to publicly dissent re: the President potentially bringing our country into a needless war (our country was not attacked) without Congressional approval. - As someone else commented, Iran can obtain nuclear weapons from other countries.

"Goyim" means nations, or ethnic (family) groups. France is a goy, the USA is a Goy, hispanics are a goy, Israel is a goy. It is useful to connote non-Jews. It is not derogative.

Confronting the nuclear ambitions of the Iranian mullahs is a significant first step in turning back the advances of Islam.

Churchill’s blunt assessment from the 19th century:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog” - is no less true today.

The next step will require great courage by Europe to clean up the Muslim enclaves of their major cities.

"Arabs should share in the benefits and progress of Zionism"

Churchill speaking at a tree planting ceremony on the site of Hebrew (sic) University, Mount Scopus, Jerusalem 28 March, 1925.

Ha, ha...sure. I wonder how close that was to the British Commonwealth cemetery on Mount Scopus. Or the church/hospital built by Queen Victoria;s favorite grandson, Kaiser Wilhelm II for the German settlers who planted and made famous the "Jaffa oranges." Named after his wife, it was the first building in counterfeit "Israel" to have electricity.https://richardlangworth.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/1921Mar28JerusalemWC.jpg

My husband and I had a lovely holiday in Syria in 2007. The people were really welcoming, considering what your government and mine had recently done to their neighbours in Iraq, some of whom were accommodated in refugee camps in Syria. Prior to that my husband worked as a doctor in an Irish hospital in Baghdad in the 80s. The reason we went to Syria (his idea) was that he'd liked the people in Iraq so much.

Back in another age, I went with a female friend to Tunisia in the early 70s. when we were students. We crossed the Mediterranean cattle class with the Tunisians (the Europeans were largely on another level). It was a 24-hour trip and we didn't have cabins, so slept in 'fauteuils' (semi-comfortable chairs) along with goodness knows how many other people. The Tunisians were all happy on the way over as they were going home for a month after being treated like dirt by the French for the rest of the year. In the middle of the night a couple of young Tunisians woke us up and asked if we'd like to go up on deck as there was dancing and singing. We went with them and there was a bunch of young Tunisians singing traditional songs and dancing. I used to have photos. They were friendly and without any ulterior motive. On the way back everyone was glum, going back to another 11 months of France. But their families needed the money, so they had no choice.

When we arrived in Marseille, there had been an outbreak of cholera in Tunisia while we were away and everyone had to show proof of vaccination. Just because we were white we were taken to the front of the queue. Nice (not).

Churchill's "The River War" is a history of the British "forever war" in the Sudan which covers roughly the events leading to the fall of Khartoum and death of General Gordon at the hands of the Mahdi or "Expected One" culminating with the Battle of Omdurman years later around 1898(?). Churchill participated in this battle, famous for being the last cavalry charge in modern warfare as a Subaltern or what we would call a 2nd Lieutenant. A very modern fellow, he was armed with a semi-automatic Mauser C-96 pistol which saved his fanny and was famously lost in the Boer War in South Africa a few years later resulting in his internationally reported capture and escape.

I prefer knocking out Iran’s nuclear capacity over giving them bags of cash. The Obama/Biden plan gave us an emboldened Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi’s, and America and Israel suffered their relentless attacks.

Trump gave Iran a choice of war or peace, and Iran chose war. Obstinance is no way to go about living. MAGA is unified behind Trump and the America first movement.

Trump’s action was the last resort and Iran has no one to blame but itself. I hope their people realize this and choose to form a new government designed to live peacefully with others.
