The Sound Of One Iron Fist Clapping

"All of Israel at the moment is praising and lording the technical feats on the 13th of June. That Mossad had sent their agents in and were blowing up things in Iran, and that they had assassinated nearly eight or four of the line commanders of the Iranian military, and killed or murdered all of these scientists in their homes. And there's a great celebration about it, but they missed the point. 
Was it tactically a success? Was it professionally done? Yes. But it failed. It was a complete failure, because, yes, it did take Iran partly by surprise, but they thought it would break the spine of Iran, and, instead, a shield has emerged. A shield of real passion amongst Iranians, and a real sense, at all levels, of resolution. To go ahead and to proceed, and no sense of wanting support, for negotiating with the West, or seeing the IAEA come in again to try and supervise their process."

A Country That Sells Homeopathic Concoctions Don't Need No Stinkin' Evidence

George W. Bush recognized that, in order to bomb a Middle Eastern country,...you needed to provide a rationale, you needed to provide a basis, you needed to 'let the dog see the rabbit.' But of course, in Trumpland, you don't need to let the dog see anything. You just need to tell them there's a rabbit."

Dates

June 21, 2025: Iran's nuclear facilities were "totally obliterated"
June 22, 2025: Iran's nuclear facilities were "severely damaged"
June 23, 2025: MIDNIGHT HAMMER failed. Fordow still spins. 

The BDA is in. The tunnel mouths are sealed, but the mountain stands. The centrifuge halls were not touched. The cascade chambers remain intact. The IR-6 arrays are unburned. The core command nodes are still networked. Fordow was built to absorb MOP logic, and it did. 

7 B-2s crossed from Whiteman AFB into the most surveilled radar corridor on earth. 6 hit Fordow. 1 hit Natanz. 30 Tomahawks were fired from SSBNs into Isfahan and other sites. They staged the most expensive bunker-busting pageant in history, and didn’t breach the vault. 

Satellite confirms it: 3 entry holes forward of the deepest shafts. Tunnel mouths collapsed, not the halls. Subsidence where there was no strategic relevance. Aerial sequencing failed. No telemetry layering. No cascade collapse. Just dirt where doors used to be. 

I said it before the briefing even happened: you don’t dismantle hardened nuclear infrastructure with PR optics and subsonic cruise missiles. You don’t fracture IR-6 fuel halls with 1,000 lb Tomahawk warheads, and you don’t neutralize command redundancies sealed behind 90 meters of reinforced mountain with just 30,000 lbs of tungsten. You flick switches, you scorch perimeters, you perform failure. 

MIDNIGHT HAMMER didn’t take Fordow offline. All It did was take Washington off script. 

Iran climbs the escalation ladder. Unscathed, unhurried, and untouched at the core.

The Pride Of A Nation

The Daily Mail said the "Little boy in this picture became the most famous person on earth," and wants to know if I can identify him? 

Sure, he's the son of a white supremacist - who started with "only" a million dollars - and now says "He Decides What ‘America First’ Means," in case we needed help processing the "anti-war president" as a hypocrite and warmonger.

W.O.K.E. (Weary Over Knowing Everything) In A World Filled With Know-Nothings

 

 I don't talk too often on the blog, because A) I think it's pompous, and B) I don't assume anybody is gonna understand (or care about) anything I say. As they used to say, I'm just 'too far gone.' 

I guess, this is a test of that theory. 

   

 The U.S. government lied to its citizens, and the world, about wrecking the German economy by blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline. It's gotten Ukraine and its people blown to bits, and put us further in debt, over its NATO ambitions. And, it's been assisting in a genocide of the Palestinian people by Zionists - all things I'm against - as President Joe Biden, a millionaire, regularly interrupts my entertainments, to beg me for money, so "we can finish the job." How he assumes he roped me into all this, I will never know. That so many others endorse it, or passively go along with it, just tells me there's no reason for me to talk. 

   

 It's all a masquerade. Biden's being allowed to assumes he's Dean, and I'm Johnny, who just has to cope with whatever he does - drunk on power - in "a good year for apples."

   

 Not so. I've never bought any of this, because I've seen through all of it. Just as I was 'black' in the early 90s, I was also 'woke' in the early 90s, as evidenced by a 1992 song I recorded called "Thank You," that featured a long sample of the late, great playwright August Wilson, specifically talking about "privilege." I spoke at the award-winning gay filmmaker Marlon Riggs' funeral. My boys also released a song against homophobia in 1992. So, when the concept of being 'woke' came back around in the 2020s, my first thought was amazement at how 'late' everybody else is. My next thought was - despite the constant stream of new hysterias - American culture is a slow-moving iceberg, that causes cataclismic damage whenever it finally meets reality head-on. 


Just look at what it's done to Ben Shapiro, if you don't believe me: twisting that poor man into some kind of weird combination of Eddie Munster and a photo-negative Bobby Fischer

   

 Since 'woke' has re-emerged, life's mostly been a matter of protecting myself from flying "intellectual" debris, like Bill Maher's pontificating on the narrative developing around 'woke' - not the concept itself - which has been, both, frustrating and hilarious. I will remind you, again, of the frustrating part: back in the 90s, Bill Maher was the man who wouldn't let Christopher Hitchens explain to America that their beloved Bill Clinton is a rapist - basically, Maher's almost single-handedly responsible for us still having to endure the vile pronouncements of the murderously villainous conspiracy theorist, Hillary Clinton - but Bill Maher's being allowed to get away with criticizing 'woke'?  

   

Isn't exposing walking contradictions, like Bill Maher, supposed to be why we have News programs? Instead, Maher's Real Time is considered the News program, proving the utter futility of anyone 'woke' talking, when we can see the barbarians are not at the gate: the gate is there to keep us in.

   

Professional critics, today, make their careers arguing gender, long after "Long Tall Sally" was released in 1955, by a "Tutti Frutti" embraced for wearing a pompadour, sequins, make-up, mascara, and fake eyelashes, to scream about s-e-x. This should give you some indication of how long they'll keep "debating" the ethics of our nation committing a genocide. 

Only to assume I'm part of it.

Win Some Lose Some

“I lost people that I thought were friends over the last few years primarily due to my unwillingness to accept the narratives they are now questioning the validity of. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of fans who couldn’t handle my opinions,...When you endeavor to help those in peril, or guide those that are being duped, sometimes you lose because of it. You do it anyway. And I’ll do it again.” 

 - John Dolmayan, MAGA voter and Drummer (System of a Down) 

   

 "The rights of the Palestinian people have not been fundamentally safeguarded for a long time." 

 - Zhang Jun, China’s UN envoy

   

 3,000 Palestinian children have died, so far 

   

 "The [Israeli] army is concerned that further hostage releases by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay a ground incursion or even halt it midway." (Oh no, not that,...)

America Breaks Your Arm Saying "I Was Only Playing!"


Younger than the others but they're already terrified

It's bad enough, we make up our own rules to the game, but:

Not knowing our own strength gets people killed,...

Smile (We're All One,...)


One what, exactly, I have no idea,...

When Life Hands You PTSD (Make Peace - With War!!!)


I'm watching Lu Chuan's City Of Life And Death, a film on The Rape Of Nanking. I found the whole thing online, but be warned - this ain't your normal war movie:
"The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that 20,000 women were raped, including infants and the elderly. A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process where soldiers would search door-to-door for young girls, with many women taken captive and gang raped. The women were often killed immediately after being raped, often through explicit mutilation or by stabbing a bayonet, long stick of bamboo, or other objects into the vagina. Young children were not exempt from these atrocities, and were cut open to allow Japanese soldiers to rape them."
How wild is this one? There's a Nazi in it and I even feel sorry for him.

History's fucked up.

I watch a lot of war movies now. I can identify their motivations easier than in the rest. (The Rape Of Nanking - Get it?) I guess, growing up in South Central, Los Angeles and seeing all manner of violence and death before I left elementary school, and then all the malignant NewAge nonsense as an adult (the part I've had no preparation for) this shouldn't come as a surprise. But it does. 

Until now, I never looked on Saving Private Ryan as a comfort, y'know? 

 I wish there was a way to make it stop but there ain't. People are going to do the terrible things that lead to war and further atrocities - in peacetime. "They were bored, angry, frustrated, tired." I get it: 

 That dance - of declaring ourselves rational as we go insane - it trips us up every time,...
