Neil DeGrasse Tyson

wants to know if our universe is in a black hole.

I think that is an excellent question!

--

On the Daily Show -- which I used to love back in the day -- Jon Stewart pointed out that Netanyahu has been screaming his bloody head off concerning Iranian nukes for decades.

The implication is that he was wrong then and is probably, therefore, wrong now. Iran is not necessarily on the verge of gaining nuclear weaponry and they deny that they even want nukes.

What I would ask is, what if he's wrong?

Those who think that Iran is not on the verge of gaining The Bomb may very well be correct. Fuck if I know. But is that honestly a risk that the West, in general, should want to take?

This is just flat-out stupid.

Of course, Israel and the West cannot allow a Jihadi-run state to have nuclear weapons. Does that statement even require justification? Is it not obvious on its face?

Could it be

 

that Trump is hesitating because Israel has brought him a different option toward the same end? - my paraphrase of Aaron Cohen, Israeli Special Ops veteran on Larry Kudlow (FOX).

In other words, could it be that Israel has another plan around special ops designed to take out the deeply buried nuclear facilities?

Could the delay also be to organize the incoming regime?

Or has Trump simply gotten cold feet out of fear of getting the US dragged into a prolonged military presence?

--

It's an open question the extent to which Israel actually needs the US in order to deal effectively with Iranian nukes.

On J-TV I just saw an Israel intelligence officer, or someone along those lines, say that Israel has contingency plans in the event that Trump withholds the B-52 bomber and the Amazing American Cluster Fuck Bomb that could potentially take out the facility in Fordow.

The US is the best friend that Israel has in the world, but it needs to be as independent as it can possibly be.

--

I almost hate to say it, but if Trump doesn't want the US to get militarily involved in Iran, Israel could very well use low-yield nuclear shells to eliminate the Fordow facility.

In any case, given the fact that Iran trained and financed Hamas prior to Oct 7, there is no way in hell that the Jews of the Middle East can possibly allow a Jihadi regime with nuclear weaponry.

We are on the verge

 


of God Knows What.

The big question at this moment is Trump.

Will he, or won't he, authorize the US to take out the Fordo nuclear facility in Iran?

My suspicion is that he will and my hope is that this represents the entirety of American involvement in the military aspect of whatever goes down.

My hope is that the Persians take this as an opportunity to remove the Jihadis from power and I honestly do not care if they bring in Reza Pahlavi (the "Crown Prince") to head up the government or not.

That being said, those of us who favor Western Liberalism over Jihadism must support the Pahlavi movement in Iran for the purpose of removing the ayatollahs. Whoever among them heads that government, whether it be Pahlavi or somebody else, is entirely up to them.

At the end of the day, I care about two things when it comes to Iran.

1) They must not be allowed to gain nuclear weaponry.

2) The government going forward cannot be Jihadi because that will mean ongoing war against the Jews in the Middle East.

--

The Iranian movement to replace the Jihadi regime with Reza Pahlavi is going unnoticed in the US media.

I was just watching the "2-Way" morning show with Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine and in their discussion of Iran they do not even reference the fact that a majority of Iranians want the ayatollahs to go away.

--

Today is Juneteenth!

This a new American holiday that makes beautiful sense.

I am sick to death of "woke" neo-socialism, but a holiday celebrating the end of slavery is entirely appropriate.


Peace to you, please.

Times of Israel - "White House: Trump will decide whether to join war on Iran ‘within next two weeks’"

Hmmm...

I don't know what to make of this.

It seems as if Trump is torn between two major priorities. One is to avoid war and the other is to eliminate the possibility of Jihadi nukes.

I very much hope that he can do both.

Will the US occupy Iran?


Landon Hill
@ImaBigCat

I’m disappointed in Tucker, but population is relevant in that if we are going to try and occupy Iran, keep the peace between factions, support the new government…92M people is a lot of people.

My suspicion is that the US will not occupy Iran, but we shall see!

--

The best possible hope, I suppose, is that the Jihadi regime will fall and be organically replaced by secular democrats (or a constitutional monarchy?) who will want good relations with the US and Israel.

We can hope.

One thing that has consistently bothered me about coverage of the never-ending conflict is that there seems to be little recognition by the media that the ayatollahs are part of a larger international movement coming out of the Middle East that we call Jihadism.

Jihadism is a violent, authoritarian, Jew Hating theocratic political movement that seeks the annihilation of Israel and conflict with the West.

Some would say that this is not "Jihadism" or "radical Islam" or "political Islam," but just Islam, in general.

That may be the case, but it's important to make a distinction between the political movement and your regular Muslim neighbor down the street.

I live in one of the most ethnically-diverse places in the world and there is no reason for me to think poorly of my Muslim neighbors.

The problem is not Muslims, particularly those born and bred in the United States. The problem is the international political movement coming out of the Middle East and typified not only by relatively small regional groups like Hamas or Islamic Jihad or Boko Haram, but by state governments like those in Iran and, increasingly, Turkey.

I guarantee you, they sure as hell don't want a government subservient to your government or mine. 

Regime change is a disatrous policy that creates instability all around the world.

MichaelLumish
@MichaelLumish

That's a very good point and the concerns of isolationist Republicans are not unfounded.

My hope is that in an organic fashion the Persians overthrow the Jihadis and normalize relations with Israel.

Question to Grok3:

In a recent John Stewart bit he mocked Netanyahu for complaining many times since at least 2012 that Iran was on the verge of nuclear weapons and it never happened. Ben Shapiro countered that the reason Iran did not cross the nuclear threshold is because Israel prevented it from doing so. In what ways has Israel, not including the present moment, countered Iranian nuclear efforts?

Grok3:

As of 07:30 AM PDT on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, Israel has undertaken several notable actions to counter Iran’s nuclear program prior to the current moment, aligning with Ben Shapiro’s argument that these efforts have delayed Iran’s nuclear threshold. Here’s a concise overview based on historical data and verified reports: - Operation Olympic Games (2009–2010): Israel, in collaboration with the U.S., deployed the Stuxnet cyberweapon to sabotage Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment facility. This malware damaged thousands of centrifuges, setting back Iran’s program by 1–2 years, as confirmed by the *New York Times* (2012) and Institute for Science and International Security. - Targeted Assassinations (2010–2012): Israel’s Mossad is widely believed to have assassinated key Iranian nuclear scientists, including Masoud Ali-Mohammadi (2010), Majid Shahriari (2010), and Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan (2012). These strikes disrupted Iran’s nuclear expertise, with estimates of a 1–3 year delay, per *The Guardian* (2012). - Operation Orchard (2007): Though primarily targeting a Syrian nuclear reactor, Israel’s airstrike (with suspected Iranian involvement) signaled its willingness to preempt nuclear threats, indirectly pressuring Iran’s program through regional deterrence, as noted by the *Washington Institute* (2008). - Sabotage and Covert Operations: Israel conducted multiple covert operations, including the 2018 sabotage at Natanz (likely via explosives), which damaged centrifuge production, and the 2018 theft of Iran’s nuclear archive from Tehran, exposing program details. The IAEA and *Reuters* (2018) estimate these actions delayed enrichment by 6–12 months. - Economic and Diplomatic Pressure: Israel lobbied for international sanctions, notably influencing the 2010 and 2012 UN resolutions, which restricted Iran’s nuclear material access, complementing military efforts, per *Foreign Affairs* (2013). These actions, spanning cyberattacks, assassinations, and sabotage, have collectively delayed Iran’s nuclear progress by several years, supporting Shapiro’s claim that Israel’s interventions have prevented Iran from crossing the nuclear threshold, despite Netanyahu’s repeated warnings since 2012. The effectiveness varies, with experts like the Arms Control Association noting gaps remain, but Israel’s strategy has been proactive.

--

Tehran, as a single city, has almost the same population as the entirety of Israel, about 10 million.

--

There is a very interesting conversation on X hosted by Canadian politician of Iranian descent, Goldie Ghamari, with people on the ground in that country.

This gives me hope that the Persians may overthrow the Jihadis.

You should check her out.


--

What we are looking at in Iran is less a fight between Iran and Israel / US as it is a fight between Jihadis and Persians.

Is Zionism an actual ideology?

All it means is that you believe in Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

How is that an ideology?

Are the Portuguese holding to some nefarious nationalist ideology because they believe that Portugal is, and should be, the nation-state of the Portuguese?

Are the Kazakhstanis holding to some nefarious nationalist ideology because they believe Kazakhstan is, and should be, the nation-state of the Kazakhstanis?

Yet Jihadis and their progressive-left allies insist that Israel... of all the countries in the world... is fundamentally and ideologically unacceptable.

They think of it in neo-socialist terms, which they do not do with any other country.

That is, they think of Zionism as a racist, white-European, colonial ideology hell-bent on oppressing the innocent, bunny-like "Palestinian" people-of-color.

In other words, they've conjured a hateful ideology and then project it onto the Jews.

The overthrow of the ayatollahs

could mean the failure of political Islam (Jihadism) which could lead to the normalization of Israel via the Abraham Accords and, thus, to greater prosperity in the region. After that we just need the racist left to stop hating Israel.

I was permanently banned from Facebook last week, June 11, for violating "Community Standards on account integrity."

The only thing that makes sense to me is that the people who watch over the site didn't like me telling antizionists, in a whole variety of ways, that they could go fuck themselves.

--

Oh, and btw, please say hello to Mervin, my tarzier spirit-guide!

--

We live in such a strange world.

This is an actual tweet on X today by the office of the Ayatolla Khamenei.

"the terrorist Zionist regime"

Plenty of his allies on the western-left use that exact type of terminology.

It shows the influence and crossover in the Progressive-Jihadi alliance.

--

Rumor has it that Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is threatening to resign if the US joins Israel in an attack on Iranian nukes.

--

Grok3 tells us:

According to a Reagan Institute poll conducted from May 22 to June 2, 2025, 84% of Americans support preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, viewing it as crucial to U.S. security.

Unless, of course, you think that "Zionists" are evil


One of the truths that almost no one ever discusses is that the Arabs we call “Palestinian” threw away a golden opportunity with the arrival of Israel in ’48.

It was right there at their feet, and they pissed all over it.

If they had simply made nice with the Jews, they could have built great lives for themselves and their children.

Arab citizens of Israel have greater freedom and economic opportunity than do regular Arabs throughout the entire rest of the Arab and Muslim Middle East.

The infant mortality rate among Israeli Arabs is 5.1 deaths per 1,000 live births. 

In Yemen it’s 44.6 deaths per 1,000 live births and in Iraq 18.7.

The “Palestinians,” and the Arab world, more generally, had a beautiful opportunity and trashed it out of theocratic hatred towards Jews.

Meanwhile, the western-left despises “Zionists” because they view the Jihad – and thus the beheading of Jews and the strangulation of Jewish babies -- as justified resistance to racist, white, western colonialism. 

I tell ya, man, it doesn’t get more fucked up than this.

People think that Nazi ideology was twisted, but it had nothing on this shit.

Oh, and btw, the image above?

It has nothing to do with anything beyond the fact that I conjured it and it represents my feelings toward most everything at this point.
