Moving the Goalpost

Why is it such a big secret as to who the U.S. is negotiating with in Iran to end the conflict? First, the U.S. claims it has beheaded the beast, then the same at a lower level, then individual killings, the latest being the Iranian Admiral of the Navy. So who’s left to talk to? No one has seen or heard the late Ayatollahs son since he was formally elected to his father’s position. There is no one standing up claiming anything, publically.

Is There Anymore to Add?

Let me begin by announcing that I have no idea who killed Charlie Kirk. Whoever he was. I understand some kid is under arrest waiting trial and until he’s either convicted or acquitted, maybe the speculation and conspiracy theories should just pipe down already. There’s plenty of time to launch any speculative conspiracy you want. The JFK theorists have been going on for six-three years. We still don’t know who killed him (Lee Harvey Oswald) and there are lots of books and documentaries that concern everyone from the mob to the CIA – even to the office of Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon Johnson. Some of what I’ve read, seemed plausible. But a good writer can take. miss-mash of data and turn it into coincidence stating there are no coincidences.

Yes, There’s a Loyal Opposition

I watched a great debate recently on one of my favorite youTube channels having to do with the Iran conflict. The debate was very stimulating and to some degree, informative.I was aware of one of the guests position because he has his own channel and discusses Iran a lot lately. The other genterlman (and I use that term loosely) was unknown to me and he kept trying to make points by ad hominem attacks, mostly. As we all know, this is the last desperate gasp of those that have no argument to make and nowadays we are witness to a. lot of the coming from, well, that side of the debate.

Wagging the Dog

I am beginning to believe this entire kinetic action against Iran is nothing more than distraction, a very expensive one in lives and treasure. Why? Consider the ;test news about Iran having a missile that can reach Europe (a missile from Iran targeted the island of Diego Garcia over the weekend, some 2,500 miles away). and how that seemed t be a surprise to everyone. Sure, we all knew they had short range missiles that could threaten all of their neighbors (mostly Israel), but there wasn’t a hint about a medium range missile that could target the west.

Shame on Me?

Maybe I’m not looking in the right places, but I find it interesting there’s a dearth of atheist voices during this Iran kinetic action. Of course, I wouldn’t expect a lot of this were the Biden administration, but most of the atheists I have become acquainted with with over time, and yes, mostly online, had nothing good to say about any republican. So, I wouldn’t expected some of the more popular (?) voices in atheism to come out with a statement whether or not they agreed with the action and why. But no, nothing so far. I wonder if it’s true, what Ialway thought, that democrats (liberals) were just as in favor of these adventures as republicans (conservatives).
