Iran

Who Are the True Deep State?

A friend just stopped by a little earlier, a little exasperated du=e t the fact that, where we live, the average price of gasoline is now $4.50 a gallon. That may cause some to laugh at the predicament but energy costs are becoming a factor all over the country. It’s not just California anymore, but little old Arizona, where I live. And if it’s $4.50 here in Tucson, You can bet in outlying cities and towns it’s over $5.00 a gallon. What has caused this to occur? Aren’t we a “net exporter” of oil and natural gas?

It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

I can’t watch the news anymore. I just don’t know what to believe. It seems that all of it is some form of propaganda, left-wing or right-wing sputtering from not just politicians and administration officials (I know, that’s redundant) but the people reporting the so-called news as well. People I used to like watching, thinking they were a refreshing break from the nonsense of the day, appear more and more to me as just paid political hacks trying to gaslight the public into believing whatever it is they’re pushing at the moment (war, economy, etc.). I mean, I’m okay with people being upfront as to their opinions. I watch a variety of videos online that will take different positions on a topic. Like the Iran war, for instance.

What’s Next for Iran?

Like many, I’ve been wondering if and when the U.S. (and Israel) will finish this war with Iran. Yes, it is (or at least was) a war and now, for several weeks, there’s been a ceasefire (of sorts) and a least an attempt to negotiate a peace in the region. Everyday, reporters question members of the administration as to the status of the negotiations and well, it’s becoming clear to anyone still paying attention that the Iranians appear to be giving us the finger (or whatever they do in Iran). So why is Trump being so patient with the situation as it stands?

Saving Face

/ Jim / Leave a comment

As I write this, the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran that was supposed to end tomorrow, has just been extended by our president, indefinitely because Pakistan, the host for the negotiations, asked for an extension. That’s right, there’s no time limit associated with it and the excuse is that Iran has not made any proposals of their own and the U.S.will give them time to(47 more years, I guess) come up with a response to the U.S. proposals over the kinetic action (not a war) with Iran. This is what’s called saving face.

Letting the Lunatics Take Over

/ Jim / Leave a comment

You know there is something desperately wrong in the world when everyone you see online is taking the word of a documented lunatic concerning other online personalities simply because these same people, dislike what is being said by the people. What’s strange is that none of what any have said is anything but the truth: We are in a conflict with Ira because of Israel and Israel told us they were going to attack Iran for their own “final solution” to an acknowledged terrorist state whether we approved it or not. How do I know this is the truth? Our Secretary of State said a much to the entire world, on television, the first day of the adventure.
