a two fer on israeli crimes; ten minutes that barely breaks the surface of the israeli prison criminal network, and eleven minutes that expands on the story as it widens out into things we can't imagine 'our' government involved in until we begin to remember history, though this may be easily worse;

i began this blogspot to save sending emails to all i suspected might need or want to review. avoid being a spammer. so consider these emails i thought you might find interest in. if you like what you see, pass it on. If the power elites didn’t need the consent of the public to rule, they wouldn’t have to lie constantly about their reasons for their wars on everyone. as gore vidal said: i'm not a conspiracy theorist, i'm a conspiracy observer.

the thing about wars is you never know what will happen next;
Iraq’s resistance groups have struck down a US Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, a symbol of American overreach and aggression.
The spokesman for the Central Headquarters of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) of Iran stated on Thursday night that the US military refueling plane was shot down by a missile fired by resistance groups in western Iraq. All of its crew were killed. Six service members were aboard the downed tanker. .............more..........
caitlin speaks on the war and dead little girls;
An ongoing internal US military investigation has reportedly found the United States responsible for a Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian girls’ school which killed at least 175 people at the beginning of the US-Israeli onslaught.

We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.”
Those words land a bit different now that we know he was talking about mass murdering little girls.........more........
can you imagine the 'most moral democracy' in the mid east threatening someone for speaking against them;
Our government has betrayed us. It is compromised, blackmailed and spreading evil. Did Israel assassinate John F. Kennedy? Did Israel attack the USS LIBERTY? Did Israel assassinate Charlie Kirk? Why are we fighting Epstein Fury?
So many coverups, lies and deaths for what purpose? What will be the final price that we will have to pay for the transgressions of two evil governments? We should be seeking answers and justice to these questions before our children’s fates are sealed............see.........
one more bit guaranteed to ramp things up, or more realistically, down. about half of the worlds lng tankers are trapped in the persian gulf;
There are thousands of ships in the global oil tanker fleet, by some estimates nearly as many as 9000 (and that excludes sanctions vessels). Just a fraction of these are either waiting to enter the blockaded straits of hormuz, or to leave it.
By contrast, the global LNG fleet is a tiny fraction, and now most of it is stuck inside the Persian Gulf.
According to the WSJ, at least 20 LNG carriers about half the available global fleet – are trapped in the Persian Gulf, with daily freight costs soaring as demand from Asia surges, according to ship brokers. Bloomberg lists the known LNG tankers which are currently transmitting their positions as follows:.............more...........
