Chris Nordlund on the latest wackiness

 #Iran #CeaseFire #TollScheme


LOTS of wacky and possibly delusional fantasies from #DonSnoreleone


newly created polymarket accounts before announcement of the Ceasefire.
also movement in oil market
quotes from multiple international sources

Sal on the "Cease Fire," the law of the sea and 20,000 mariners stuck in the gulf

 #Iran Strait of Hormuz #CeaseFire ?


So Iran wants to collect tolls IN CRYPTO for allowing boats to pass in its territorial waters.

And who besides probably Don Jr and maybe the Secretary of #WarCrimes and whoever else keeps placing big bets before key events.

How will this mess mutate next?

And can SOMEONE please take note of all the stuck, unarmed merchant vessels with stressed out crews and short supplies.





The "Rescue," reporting, and literally everyone pulling away and calling out.

#Iran #Rescue 



"narrative warfare"
"nonkinetic warfare"
Random speculation: did the President going off on Easter Sunday have something to do with the actual details of the "rescue" operation?




And as for the initial reporting

Private company caves to US administration but Russia and China are happy to provide images
Efforts to hide US military and contractor casualty counts, impact on bases, destruction of planes, energy infrastructure

$400 Million in US equipment lost
Um, no, air superiority
"the Tom Clancy uranium hunt"
also speculation that rescue story was part of the trigger for the Easter message
Also draw on The Intercept



Allies say no, pull away.
no using bases or air space for war crimes
MBS did not ask US for permission to buy interceptors from Ukraine

Commentary about The "Ceasefire"

#Iran 


RantWoman is, like every othr sane person on the planet, relieved that the President has decided, at least for now, not to attempt to destroy an entire civilization.


First, words from Lawrence O'Donell. Then various comentators.


Check out the Zeteo vid in particular. 


1. If having an insane government means a country should not have nuclear weapons, time for the world to subtract nuclear weapons from the US.


2. There is NO WAY the #DonSnoreleone and Bibi can bomb Iran into regime change. If anything, everyone in Iran is going to do the same thing that people in the US did after 9/11.

3. Way past time for #GrandpaSleepyhead to RESIGN and retire to a genteel life of golf and napping. Declare Mar a Lago a permanent home for the criminally insane. Allow him only to travel between his golf courses and always under guard.

4. Fix him up with a permanent AI loop of cheering crowds and ever-increasing click counts on a social media equivalent of a closed-circuit TV with very limited audience.

5. No pardons, but if he is incompetent to be President, he is also incompetent to stand trial. Concentrate on going after all his enablers.

6. And if we really want to stand up against this nonsense, a windfall profit tax on every company making extra big bank from all the price shocks.

Israel oh Israel

#Israel

CONTENT WARNING: graphic description of torture. 

The latest Israeli "achievements" in the realm of human rights

Did Dems utter confusion and inability to speak plainly about Israeli atrocities doom them in 2024? What does that bode for the midterms??? 

Will enough US taxpayers grow DISGUSTED about spending US tax dollars to support these atrocities, these apartheid policies??? Or ....
