Which Trump might that be then?

And who is he working for? It's impossible to be certain, but this is the Fulford report so we work with Trump being the agent of Bibi Netanyahu (who many believe dead of an Iranian attack, but who worries about such niceties any more?).

Ben is in Biblical mood today, so those of a conventional mindset may not appreciate his logic, but for what it's worth I tend to agree with much of what Ben is saying. Certainly Trump is neither a conventional politician not conventional president, so the field is wide open to alternative explanations of his unusual behaviours - take your pick between completely bonkers, rude and boorish, controlled by the dark powers, or deliberately unpredictable but aiming ultimately to thwart those dark powers. All seem possible.

Along the way he has a history of putting rogue operators front and centre in the public eye so that people can form their own judgement of what they stand

The Strait of Hormuz may be open (in some circumstances) according to Iran, but the USA has other ideas... not necessarily in China's (and others') interests.

Prof Marandi explains Iran's current stance concerning the Strait of Hormuz.

He doesn't exhibit the "flair" of the Donald, but his presentation isn't any the worse for that!

What a difference a day makes...

We have learned today (if you believe our reports, currently uncorroborated) that Iran's leadership is deep in bed with the City of London "swamp" (according to Brendan O'Neill), that Iran will not make peace with the Donald, that the USA and Russia now largely control the world's operable oil and gas markets, and may well leave Europe to reopen the Straits of Hormuz if they don't want to pay America's prices...

So if the globalists in London and the EU want to bring UK and European populations to their knees through power and food shortages, uncontrolled immigration, and divide and rule policies, they are free to do so, but Russia, China, and the USA are not going to wage a war to prevent that now that they have secured their own positions.

And why should they?

There are some YT channels that I view with trepidation - they look good but their (apparent or suspected) use of AI techniques cannot help but cast doubt on the validity of their information.

This is one such - but the basic event reported does seem to be corroborated - and the knock-on might be significant.

However, the idea that a Russian strike on Israel would constitute a NATO Article 5 trigger that would obligate NATO into a war with Russia seems far-fetched - neither Israel nor Iran is a NATO member, so unless a Russian action would target US forces directly, this would seem to be plainly wrong. Even if US or NATO forces were somehow involved within Israel:

If, like me, you didn't understand the link between Iran and the City of London, then maybe this is the video for you.

As ever, Rich does Politics comes up with the goods to amaze and enlighten - if you believe him, and his Aussie guest Brendon O'Connell, of course.

And if you can ride this roller-coaster of an interview to the end...

Not exactly well-defined.

An analysis produced in 2009 conspicuously failed to actually list all the points that were considered problematic and that needed to be addressed - other than it did give prominence to the need to prevent Iran from being able to deploy a nuclear deterrent. OK for me but not for thee!

It then went on to investigate a number of different approaches that might be employed to bring Iran into line with expectations...  but what were the expectations? 

Other than the nuclear weapons "issue" (at that time far from imminent), undefined!

But of course there were other reasons....

"... they announced that they were going to engage in a campaign of ethnic cleansing... their policy would be to eliminate all human presence in southern Lebanon "

The IDF has wasted no time in breaking the ceasefire - and giving the world every reason to turn against them?

Another view on the Trump-Iran ceasefire. 

Not (yet) a settlement.

It evidently isn't a total ceasefire between all the warring parties.

So is it alive, or is it dead on arrival?

Eugyppius makes the relevant points...

There's a lot to be said for peace. Not the Pax Americana enforced by boots on the ground and helos in the air, but a peace negotiated between bloodied combatants who recognise that it's to their mutual advantage. 

If so, it's likely to stick. With one caveat - Israel doesn't seem to have agreed... but whether it's in any position to disagree will no doubt become clearer shortly.

Cyntha Koeter provides her analysis.

Maybe Central Casting is having to work overtime.

Plenty to get one's teeth into in this episode of the End of the World that We Once Knew.

What to believe? Your guess is as good as mine, but the outstanding truth appears to be that the Israeli-US axis of war is getting the worst of the "negotiations" with Iran, and Russia retains its position as possibly the most sane and consistent power on the planet.

Of course it could all be a vast Movie...   and perhaps the longest running production of our civilisation. It does seem to have that quality of real unrealism that good movies trade on, and certainly enough suspense to keep us on the edge of our seats.

Oh, and he thinks that the war is maybe "designed to fail"...

The subjugation of Iran into the American / British Empire?

The destruction of Israel?

The destruction of American monetary and military hegemony?

The establishment of Greater Israel?

Given that we have mostly unreliable reports about what is actually going on in the Gulf, it's hard to know.

But help is at hand from a seasoned (and much reviled) veteran of British independent political thought who most certainly has a better grasp of such matters than I.

Make of this what you will.

Here's a thought googling in from left field... 

Will Zionist Israel now jump ship to subvert the BRICS? Well, America isn't looking too good anymore as a means of global domination, so maybe the next century will be BRICS dominated. If Zionism (which is after all a global movement) isn't destroyed but still harbours dreams of Greater Israel and global domination, then BRICS is the obvious target.

And if the state of Israel by some mischance doesn't survive the Trump war, it wouldn't surprise me if it decided to rebuild "Zion" elsewhere, Ukraine maybe - I guess that might also satisfy Mr Putin's requirement for a "non-aligned" buffer state on his borders. I would be surprised if the Mossad hasn't been inserting its subversive operatives within the BRICS bureaucracy for some years now, or at least since the first Trump presidency.

And Epstein? He can

With "the Donald" seemingly morphed into Captain Belligerent and apparently intent on talking Bigger than his Boots (on the ground), Bill Bonner shares his thoughts on the decline of empires, from the Mongol to the American, and the Ottoman and British (and European) in between. 

Post-war Britain outsourced both its empire and its navy to the Zionist-USA, even going so far as to deliberately destroy its own capability (TSR2, Harrier) lest they should embarrass us by out-performing our "friends" (shouldn't that be "rebels"?) across the pond. Loss of control ensued, along with the UN, WEF, Bilderberg Group etc.

Now Bill Bonner shares his thoughts on how this could impact our future opportunities (NB: This is not financial advice!).

So will the next empire be Russian or Chinese? Whose turn is it? And who will be pulling their strings behind the
