Israel Hits Iran Hard

When Raisi got hit, which was supposedly an innocent helicopter crash, it became pretty clear that there were traitors deep within the Iranian government and it would hardly be surprising if these traitors, probably compromised in some manner to do Israel’s bidding, currently have a controlling interest within the Iranian government, meaning that though they can’t get 100% of what they want, they can prevent 100% of what they don’t.

Some folks are astounded at the rate of moral degradation of the Western political class. I think what’s happening is that in the past the Western politicians would get elected and then “moved” in certain directions once they got in through bribery, blackmail, and/or being misinformed and misled by compromised staff.

Now, however, the politicians are often compromised before they ever even run for office … they basically have to “step-in-it” before they get backing for their campaign … and then the “donor class”, which consists primarily of Jewish Supremacist Zionists … which I have often referred to as the Jewish Zionist Mafia (JZM*) … financially and structurally supports their campaigns to get them elected.

*Note: The JZM is a small subset of Jewish people and the vast majority of Jewish people are not JZM members and there are obviously Jewish people who are fighting in some manner against the JZM’s power and Israel. In fact, a lot of the alternative media folks who most effectively point out the immorality and hypocrisy of Israel are Jewish, such as Norman Finkelstein, Katie Halper, Glenn Greenwald, Gabor and Aaron Maté, Max Blumenthal, etc..

I have been saying that the so-called Resistance is dithering and indecisive for a long time now, to general opprobrium and all manner of name-calling.

I wish I had been wrong.

Your statement is clear and pitiless (as are the circumstances, so it fits), Iran is led by old men, evidently cowardly or in denial of what was coming.

However, this will in the long term be a Pyrrhic victory for the Zionist Entity, and for Trump, who “authorized” but did not very much directly participate in the decapitation strike. Indeed, The Duran guys who have been gullible and stupid on one thing, thinking that Trump was sincere about “America first” and not a Zionist puppet just like all recent presidents except Bush I, who was ousted with AIPAC money for Bill Clinton after mistakenly thinking US is the dog, and Israel the tail. They did say definitively today (well, Mercouris did) that “Trump’s presidency is over.” He has betrayed his base who mostly do NOT love Israel first (some are actual anti-Semites) and is now exposed as a feckless puppet of a foreign power.

I am only a human being and can’t always anticipate the future, even despite a thorough study of history. The Actors (those with power) now are totally irrational and insane. One thing that helped me is studying various systems of mysticism, I started studying the Yi King at least 3 decades ago, I favor the Wilhelm translation.

Scoffers can scoff or ignore what I share here. It’s fine, I don’t care. I’ve thrown the sticks 1,000s of times and only gotten less than a dozen bad or seemingly wrong calls.

Yesterday, Due Dissidence predicted an Israeli Attack approved by Trump on Iran, I consulted the Oracle, asking “Do Izzys/Netanyahu soon initiate wider Mideast war with Iran?” Response had 2 moving lines: #1 was first Hexagram with 2nd and 5th line changing; thus movement went to #30. Both were “doubled”, First is big Yang, “Creative”, start of Power (poss. Demiurge); 2nd and 5th moving lines both very favorable, both entirely favorable to the initiating power, 2nd is Fire of Fire.

This scared the shit out of me. It proved entirely correct. So this morning I asked the follow-up question. “Do Iran and Arab World (& Russia) stand strong or face extinction?” (I should’ve included China in query, no morning tea yet, it’s tacit anyway.) Answer was #50, “Ting”/ Cauldron, only first line moves, progress to #14, Possession in Great Measure”, Supreme Success. In the Cauldron hexagram, line 1, the cooking pot is overturned, spilled on the ground = “Removing of stagnating stuff.” My interpretation is that the US installed family dictatorships are on a knife’s edge now, principally Jordan and Egypt, thus only Yemen stands strongly for survival of Muslim culture and civilization (Great for many centuries, in decline since the rise of European Empires). Even Saudi populace is 98% pro-Palestine anti-extermination, but the Royal family isn’t. I believe some dominoes will fall here, that is what’s conveyed. In Hexagram #14, there is only one split/ yin line, in the 5th, occupying the place where “the Ruler” is supposed to be, per Taoist convention. paradoxically, Wilhelm comment notes, “This line is empty and central . . . capable of possessing all the yang lines. . . Commentary is that “The yielding receives the honored place in the great middle, and upper and lower correspond with it.”

There are clearly many traitors and clowns in the RoW leadership, especially in the weak, corrupt, scummy Gulf States and the other puppets Egypt, Jordan, NATO Turkey. They can collaborate with their paymasters in being exterminated one by one, or Unite. Just as your graphic shows– wonderful graphic, but I wish the artist had included Ukraine, Israel & US pocket flags on Mr. Death’s black suit. Oh Death knows who he works for!!

Like I said, scoffers feel free to scoff. The Yi has steered me right over many, many years. I agree with CG Jung’s claim (which originally I thought was absurd) that the Yi King is a sort of transcendental and eternal consciousness, it is AI invented by ancient mystics, but unlike AI it is largely insightful and possesses “Intelligence.”

Oh, Mercouris reminded me– Happy Friday the 13th!! And tomorrow is the No Kings protests against Trump. There is one in my little town. I have been ignoring and not attending the Shit Lib fake “Resistance” faux “protests” here (fund Ukraine!!), but since tomorrow is the anniversary of the MIC’s formation plus Diaper Donny’s birthday, I will go. The former is the reason– I hate the War State. The US is the kind of Country that has 3 holidays devoted to War (July 4, Memorial Day, Veterans Day) and only one for Labor, deliberately moved to fall and not on May 1 even though Haymarket Square in Chicago was the worldwide inspiration for Labor Day held in every civilized country in the world on that day.

Trump is an Accelerationist; the Crash & Burn is much closer than 48 hours ago.

Bibi the Butcher can now sharpen his knives to murder more Palestinians now that so many eyes and ears are turned towards Iran.

Probably not a coincidence that this happened yesterday:

Gaza has been plunged into a complete communications blackout after Israeli forces struck key infrastructure, the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority announced on 12 June.

The authority warned that the deliberate targeting of telecom facilities has left the region digitally isolated, cutting off one of the last remaining links between Gaza and the outside world.

Perhaps Iran’s only successful propaganda campaign was convincing –almost– everyone that they have a massive stockpile of missiles. Do they actually have them or the few times they attacked did they utilize everything they had?

In hindsight it’s obvious Iran has a large amount of people who think laying on their stomachs is the best option. The current president –elected in 2024– campaigned on improving ties with west and “negotiating” with America.

I guess we’ll see if Iran decides to keep playing kabuki theater or fully realizes they’ve been in a war for a while and not a reality TV drama. Contingent of course on if they actually have the capabilities it’s been assumed they have.

It’s looking increasingly like Iranian air defences have been sufficiently degraded that the IAF is conducting daylight operations (including mid-air refuelling in Syrian airspace).

Given that most Iranian ballistic systems seem to be liquid fuelled, I suspect they’re going to be executing a combination of whack-a-mole on pop-up targets and attacks designed to bottle Iranian TELs in their hardened bases, while also conducting a strategic campaign against nuclear infrastructure. Mass MRBM attacks like we’ve seen Iran conduct in the past may prove to be quite difficult, if the IAF can establish sufficient presence in or near Iranian airspace.

And I believed you didn’t need nukes nowadays. You’ll do better with oreshniks. Or so it’s said.

This link is quite long. I post it here just in case it has not come to someones attention.

I think Israel made a mistake in killing a bunch of leaders. Never worked for the US in Afghanistan. The only leader anyone has killed in the Middle East lately that made a lick of difference was Hassan Nasrallah. Well, maybe Soleimani. But in this case, it’s if anything probably counterproductive–if those guys they just killed were any good, the situation would be different right now. So who’s going to replace them? Probably someone younger and fiercer who wants to make a mark.

Hey L & S, it’s interesting that you pay so much attention to and want to respond to my post despite all the sensible things that others, Z for example, say that you could also respond to. I don’t know whether to be flattered or to feel stalked.

In any case, your latest communique contains what I have learned to expect from you over the short period you’ve been posting on this site. I will simply mention the chief 2 vices you display: shocking historical ignorance is #1, and disingenuous statements which rise to the level of deliberate bad faith– a rhetorical trick that some debaters use, but which is the opposite of helpful is your 2nd feature. Why is your little dance unhelpful? You are not seeking truth (the main reason I come to this site, where many bright and insightful people teach me things in areas which I haven’t studied), you are simply trumpeting your own ignorance and (vainly, as far as I can tell) seeking attention. Or to be more direct, Trolling.

I taught history professionally for over 3 decades, at the High School level only, not the College level. Additionally I have a Masters degree in MLIS (look it up) which taught me very thoroughly how to do actual research.

If you ever choose to actually educate yourself about Russia rather than just jingoistically jeer at the (subhuman in your eyes?) scary Asiatic monsters (something the Germans often project onto them), I would recommend that you start with a book from the 1990s by Peter Hopkirk, called The Great Game. (Very favorably reviewed, now recognized as a classic.)

This is just a preface to rebutting a single absurdity you throw at me– We think alike because we both feel disgust for Military Celebrations. Well, no, we do not think alike at all, to paraphrase Public Enemy, “No we’re not the same, coz you don’t know how to play the game” (of unprejudiced scholarship and a search for truth.) Your knowledge and your rhetoric are bigoted, shallow attempts to score points, unsourced by and disconnected from any quality of veracity.

Let me just share some broad points here, though they may be far over your head–

1. Russia is a very ancient culture that has been influential and even a superpower in Eurasia for very many centuries, in fact several centuries before the US even existed.
Even under a Communist regime, Russia excelled in science, the arts (music, ballet, etc.), the culinary arts, engineering in a harsh climate, agriculture, diplomacy, exploration including space, mathematics and physics, and many other areas too numerous to list here.

2. The US is a very “young” society, and had a sudden rise to Power after a disgraceful founding, as a genocidal enterprise against Native people, fortified by people stolen from Africa to work as slaves. Btw, are you aware that the word “slaves” derives from Slavs, going way back to the glorious period of Islamic ascendancy across the world from Europe through North Africa and across the Mediterranean continuing on to East Asia as far as India’s borders. https://reifshistoryclasses.weebly.com/islamic-expansion.html

Since you evidently “don’t know much about history” and I will assume geography either, a reason I recommend the Hopkirk book to you. The US became a vicious, united, white-supremacist state stretching across North America including the Northern half of Mexico, stolen from Spain in the late 19th century. “How dare anyone in Southern California publicly fly a Mexican flag!” you sniffled on an earlier post here. Well, demography can be destiny (to a point) and people and cultures are not as easily annihilated and thrown into history’s dustbin as a white Chauvinist like yourself might wish. (I’m making an assumption based on your comments; feel free to correct me if mistaken.) Are you by any chance a reader of the alleged Classics expert and white supremacist author Victor Davis Hansen? Look into him if you don’t know him, as far as your approach toward “wetbacks” or “beaners” goes you share a lot with him.

Okay, to be fair the US did become an international Empire starting with the McKinley’s (a Diaper Donny favorite) Presidency and continuing to “Invade other people’s countries, see beautiful sites, and kill them” as the Army recruiting line goes. The Philippines, Marshall Islands, Puerto Rico, Cuba, huge chunks of Latin America, destroying Haiti over and over, occupation of Germany, interventions in too many places to name to install faithful, Right Wing (usually dictatorships) regimes, to loot natural resources, as I expect even you know.

Back to Hopkirk– in its region, Russia had confrontations with neighbors both friendly and not: Prussia, Iran, the British Empire meddling endlessly, the Mongols, Napoleon and the French, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Balkan Chihuahuas, Sweden, Finland, the Caucasian “-stan” areas, Turkmenistan and the others, Poland, etc. etc. (I only started the list, no need to beat a dead horse.) The French philosopher Diderot, mostly credited for the early Encyclopedia, spent time at Catherine’s court. (The Swedish queen had to content herself with causing Rene Descartes’ death of pnuemonia.)

Now even you may know (if I take the dislike of US Military Ceremonies as sincere) that the US never showed respect for the cultures of its dependencies. I’ll cite only recent examples: Ronald Reagan traveling to Europe to do tribute to Nazi dead (see the Ramones’ song “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg”) made a point of telling the Euro-flunkeys how superior the US was in every respect to what Donnie Rumsfeld later deprecated as “Old Europe.” American GIs did take French or German wives, so there’s some actual cultural interchange there, but they had to speak English once here.

I object to ‘Murican military parades because I was a teenager during the Vietnam War and I saw friends’ older brothers come home as junkies, basket cases, alcoholics, or Chauvinist pigs like yourself. (“Speak English you dirty Mex’cun, and don’t wave that stupid flag. Do you know where you are?” This kind of sniping makes you sound more like a Trump fan than you seem willing to admit?) I’ve seen the US start and fail in dozens of wars there, though they do “succeed” in creating failed states: they lost Vietnam, they lost in Korea (a truce) while killing 2 million plus people, which they bested in Vietnam by half a million or more additional. Btw I don’t know if you know who General William Westmoreland was? A dumb fat boy like Trump, he said something that you basically paraphrased during one of your anti-Russian tirades the other day. While we were exterminating the “gooks” in Vietnam and Korea, he reassured the folks at home that these deaths didn’t matter because “Life in the Orient is Cheap”, also “the Asiatic doesn’t value life like WE do”!! (Sickening from someone who literally murdered millions of “Asiatics.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9vFzN5MbFk)

Here are some words from you dehumanizing Russians, showing exactly the kind of colonial arrogance that Westmoreland flourished: “It’s clear to me at this juncture there will be no peace deal. Putin will have to take Kyiv and that will mean another half a million to a million casualties although it’s also clear all those casualties don’t sway Russia like they would in the West.” Oh, those monsters, they have no hearts they don’t value their dead!! Oh, and going to the thread and finding this colonial smear, I note many others here, Sorodemos, Mago and others are on to you. May I suggest you try the Lawyers, Guns and Money site to you? Those are really your people, more your speed, but they certainly are enthusiastic about certain genocides (against Russians, Palestinians & Muslims etc. ‘coz “We are the good guys!”)

So I was gratified to see you finally responded to my point about the “Chicago Boys” killing 5 million Russians prematurely after 1991, but OF COURSE you had to attribute some of the deaths to the evil Asiatic Russkies themselves. This is sickening and would be like a Nazi at their war crime trial noting that the Kapos killed some of their own to stay alive– true enough, but not a moral justification. Incidentally, just to do some math, if the Russians had to sacrifice 1 million people (your absurd exaggeration) to take Kiev, wouldn’t that sacrifice make sense so that THIS time when Russia is broken, the German pigs and others don’t kill 10 or 15 million. The Imperialist powers are not known for moderating their carnage over time.

So to conclude, I stopped standing for the Pledge of Alliegance by 10th grade at the latest, because I never much liked the Empire, the overt racism (my dad was a racist and anti-Semite, he did marry a Spanish brown woman, an odd omission which just reminds us that “The heart wants what it wants.” My dad trained me very well and at a young age to despise fascism as he exhibited its pathologies to (and often against) me.

Why, then, am I not triggered by Russian Celebrations– I’ll simply quote Marshall Zhukov here: “We have liberated the world from fascism, but they will never forgive us for it.” Your slapdash smear has a tiny piece of veracity in that the Russians sacrificed 23-27 million people to destroy the Reich. As professional historians have largely agreed, Russia was responsible for the deaths and removal of 83% of Reich soldiers on the Eastern front, the US did nothing like that. I watched the Victory Day celebrations for about 2 hours this year– interesting that neither Israel nor the US, much less Germany showed up, isn’t it, and that Zelensky a couple days prior threatened dignitaries like Xi Jianping that “my government will not protect your safety if you attend.”

I’m a humanist and a universalist. I don’t hate people indiscriminately based on a national label, I hate those who I see bullying others or supporting that. Nationality is one thing, and character is quite another. You can’t acknowledge that, evidently.

I’ll close with something from a site that I found the Zhukov quote explained in to close– you may not appreciate the point, but others will:

“The western imperialists financed and cultivated Nazi Germany to destroy the Soviet Union and refused to ally with the Soviet Union to fight Hitler. Stalin in one of the most masterful feats of statecraft saw the writing on the wall and signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler who then invaded the western imperialists and allowed the Soviet Union to move all their western factories east to the Urals leaving nothing for Hitler once they did invade. Now the western imperialists were compelled to fight Hitler who sought to plunder everyone. Over 20 million soviets died to raise the flag of the USSR over the reichstag and bury Nazi fascism. The western imperialists will never forgive the USSR for killing their Nazi lovechild.”

Bob Dylan lamented in an early song, “With God on our Side”, “I was taught to hate Russians.” That wasn’t always the case in this country. I’m no fan of Stalin, obviously, he was a monster, but not quite on the level of Hitler and his buddies. Here’s a gospel song from 1943 when it was okay to not just support but even to love our wartime allies–

The U.S. is on the Brink of War with Iran… Why and for Whom?

Jewish organizations [not ‘Israeli’ or Zionist] show wall-to-wall support for Israel’s strike on Iran

Groups voice ‘unwavering solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel’ and call for strong global support in the face of Iran’s nuclear threat

Jewish organizations [not Zionist or ‘Israeli’] from across the spectrum came out in strong support of Israel following the launch of its preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities early Friday morning.

After long years of warnings about Iran’s nuclear program and intensive preparations, Israel’s offensive against the Islamic Republic struck nuclear sites, military facilities, missile bases and senior leadership, with startling success in the first wave of attacks.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) sent a message of strong support for the mission, saying that “Israel’s action to cripple Iran’s nuclear program is a service to all civilized people.”

“America must stand with our ally at this critical moment as it takes action to protect its families and the world from a nuclear-capable Iran,” the pro-Israel lobbying group said in a statement. “The Administration and Congress should ensure that Israel has the resources and support needed to defend itself from any Iranian response.”

On its X account, AIPAC thanked numerous political figures who showed support for Israel’s operation, including House Speaker Mike Johnson; senators Tom Cotton, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, John Boozman, James Lankford, Jim Banks, Steve Daines, John Thune, Jim Risch, Bill Hagerty and Jon Husted; House Representatives Elise Stefanik, Josh Gottheimer, Nancy Mace, Don Bacon, Michael Guest, Mark Harris; and others.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said in a statement that the attack was an act of self-defense, noting that it follows decades of Iranian violations confirmed by the UN nuclear watchdog of its nonproliferation commitments.

“A nuclear-armed Iran would pose an existential and grave threat to Israel, the region, the global community, and as demonstrated on many occasions, lethal threat to Diaspora Jewry,” the ADL said on X.

The Jewish Federations of North America, an umbrella organization representing 350 communities across the US, said in a statement that it stands “in unwavering solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel — as we have throughout our shared history — praying for their immediate safety, strength, and well-being, and for the protection of future generations to come as Israel defends itself from Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and other threats posed by the Iranian regime.”

The UJA Federation of NY, one of the country’s largest Jewish philanthropies, offered a similar message in a separate independent statement. “Our hearts and prayers are with the people of Israel as they once again seek shelter from the threat of incoming fire,” the organization said. “We stand with Israel as it takes all necessary and justified action to defend and protect its citizens in the face of this mounting peril — and to ensure its survival.”

The American Jewish Committee (AJC) announced that “We stand with Israel in its right to self-defense and in anticipation of any Iranian military or proxy response,” in a statement on X.

In a statement by the Democratic Majority for Israel, the advocacy group’s President and CEO Brian Romick called on the US to support Israel.

“We urge President Trump to give Israel all of the necessary support, resources, and assets to protect its citizens,” Romick wrote. “It is essential that the President and all American government officials send a clear, unambiguous public message that in the event of a counterattack, America has Israel’s back unconditionally.”

At the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem, Chairman Doron Almog said, “The entire Jewish world is joining forces in the struggle to shape the future, not only in Israel and the Middle East — but throughout the world, strengthening Israel in this historic hour.”

He said the Jewish Agency has opened a situation room in Jerusalem to closely monitor and assist Jewish populations around the world.

“The embrace from Jewish communities worldwide is strongly felt and reminds us that the partnership we have built is deep and enduring,” added Jewish Agency CEO Yehuda Setton. “This is not just support, this is true mutual responsibility between the Jewish people wherever they live.”

[Evidently those are just the secular Jewish groups – not the religious crazies]…:

Among religious groups groups, the Orthodox Union called on constituents to pray for the safety and security of Israel, the success of the IDF, and “for a true and final end to the evil Iranian regime’s ability to sow terror and destruction in and around Israel and the world.”

The Chabad movement, the ultra-Orthodox Agudath Israel, and representatives of the Reform and Conservative movements also issued prayers for Israel’s safety and success.

[Reform is allegeldy ‘progressive’ but then what’s the difference]

The Secure Community Network (SCN), the official safety and security organization of the Jewish community in North America, called on Jewish communities to stay on high alert and strengthen security measures.

“While there is currently no credible or specific threat against the Jewish community, this development occurs amid an already intensified threat environment,” SCN noted.

European support……

Iz Ministry of “Defence” hit,
Iz Naval commander maybe,
1 or 2 Iz pilots seized in Iran after AD shootdowns,
Iran AD working again,
Infiltrators in Iran with drones seized,
Pakistan in support of Iran, warplanes in theatre.

Looks like it’s official now. The much maligned Iranian AD has taken down 2 Zionist F35s.
No idea if it was done with an S400 or something homegrown.

The Day Stealth Died: Iran Becomes First Country to Destroy F-35 Jets in Active Combat
https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/aviation/the-day-stealth-died-iran-becomes-first-country-to-destroy-f-35-jets-in-active-combat/ar-AA1GH44a

To NR: Nobody can yet say with any certainty how successful this Iranian missile attack/retaliation was or was not. Certainly, some 24 plus hours later, it seems that the results of the Israeli air attack on 06/13, apart from the killing of a handful of senior Iranian officers and nuclear scientists (the latter would be considered civilians btw), were more than a little overhyped.

And most importantly, this was only the first salvo from Iran. The Zionist colonial settler state can expect many many more barrages to follow in the coming weeks.

I’m often mesmerized by the stuff that I get to learn from this blog. Off late I find that the comments section has become just as precious as the writing itself.

Thank you ML for your valuable comments. Currently reading through Jung’s introduction to the Wilhelm translation of the i-Ching.

About the rusting Russian military, by strange fortune, I stood on the shore of the frozen ocean at Vladivostok in the late 1990s and saw some of the rusted, abandoned Soviet Navy.
The Bolsheviks/Communists, as good Marxists, were students of history and extremely well aware of how Napoleon had used his military position to usurp power and were vigilant against any would-be Napoleon of their own. They always kept their military very tightly under civilian control. Wisely so.
