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.

desantis,
From Grok:
Florida’s primary “antisemitism bill” is HB 187 (2024), enacted as Chapter 2024-262 and codified in Florida Statute § 1.015. It adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism into state law for general application.
This is the bill most commonly referenced in recent discussions (including those involving Gov. Ron DeSantis). Florida had earlier measures on the topic, but HB 187 standardized the definition statewide.
Key Provisions of § 1.015, F.S.Legislative intent: Adopt the IHRA working definition “to assist in the monitoring and reporting of antisemitic hate crimes and discrimination and to make residents aware of and to combat such incidents in this state.”Definition:
“antisemitism” means a certain perception of Jewish individuals which may be expressed as hatred toward such individuals. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish and non-Jewish individuals and their property and toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities...............see............
'our' government isn't our friend and is doing its best to replicate the controls the eu is attempting to install;
Telegram founder Pavel Durov is one voice who has been consistent in his message about how western countries have become increasingly authoritarian in their efforts to retain power and control. Durov is the real deal; the John Galt within the mechanisms of digital communication.
The principle under attack is freedom, and the recent examples of internet and social media control via age verification are steps within this process. Durov notes these moments are like the early stages of the Titanic after hitting the iceberg, where people aboard the ship did not quite realize the scope of the danger around them.
Take the time to listen to what Durov shares with specific examples and citations to back up his warning. Well worth the time. Pavel Durov shares how Telegram emerged from a commitment to free expression and why defending digital freedom is central to protecting human rights today.............more...........
rupert lowe is a pitt bull going after some semblance of legal price for these animals;
British Member of Parliament, Rupert Lowe, has been conducting an eighteen-month investigation of Muslim rape gangs in the U.K. as perpetrated against young, white, British girls. Today he released his 212-Page report.
Lowe describes the systemic raping of British pre-teen and teenage girls, as one of the most extensive and devastating failures in modern British history. Speaking after the inquiry’s findings were published, Lowe accused politicians, police, social services, local authorities, the NHS, the judiciary and the media of failing vulnerable victims for years. He praised survivors who gave evidence and warned that the inquiry is only the beginning, promising private prosecutions and further action against those he believes failed to act. ..........more..........
pcr wonders why there haven't been any covid jab lawsuits;
Why Haven’t Tort Attorneys Gone After the COVID Vaccine Makers?
Paul Craig Roberts
There is a growing large body of evidence consisting of peer-reviewed studies related to COVID vaccine adverse events. The list currently numbers 4,530 studies and can be assessed here: https://react19.org/science?view=sciencepapers
It is puzzling that with such an enormous amount of evidence available, lawyers have not brought class action suits against the COVID vaccine makers. The evidence seems to be conclusive and the defendants would seem to include most if not all of the governments in the world, their presidents, prime ministers, medical officers, medical associations and everyone who enabled the mass COVID vaccination in addition to Big Pharma and Tony Fauci. The settlements could reach one trillion dollars, perhaps more. Yet there is no tort action.
Perhaps tort attorneys have been intimated by the actions of the German government. German attorney Reiner Fuellmich formed an organization that documented violations of law, medical malpractice and scientific fraud in connection with the COVID-19 scandal. As he was about to file a class action suit, the German government kidnapped him abroad, imprisoned him in Germany on what many regard as false charges, and revoked his license to practice law. When governments are lawless, law cannot be practiced. Only coercion rules. The German government, like others that comprise what was once Western civilization, is taking us back to the Middle Ages.
It seems that Big Pharma is too powerful to be seriously attacked. Perhaps this is why US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has had to accept CDC’s award of $1.24 billion to Pfizer for COVID vaccine to be given to children and adults. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/cdc-awards-pfizer-over-1-billion-dollars-covid-vaccines-kids-adults/ The CDC, a federal agency that reports to Secretary Kennedy, despite conclusive evidence that COVID vaccines are extremely risky for children has nevertheless funded and approved their continuation. It shows whose clutches we are really in when not even Robert Kennedy can protect us from Big Pharma........more..........
larry johnson speaks about the trump iran deal;
Let’s give Donald Trump credit for one thing… He kept his word and lifted the US blockade on Iranian ships and Iran is going to town with its oil tankers moving in and out of the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. The picture above shows ships — marked red and green — moving as of 22:55 hours Eastern time on 15 June 2026.
This does not mean that the MOU with Iran, which is supposed to be signed in Geneva on Friday, will hold, but it is a step in the direction of de-escalation. So the question we ought to ask is why did Donald Trump blink and accept the proposal that Iran proffered way back in April?
I think there are several reasons, but the principal one is that the US is running out of oil, which means Trump will not be able to artificially suppress the price of gasoline. US strategic oil reserves have fallen to their lowest level since 1983, reports CNN. The decline comes amid continued drawdowns to mitigate the impact of the conflict with Iran. Reserves have dropped to 340.3 million barrels, last seen during the Reagan administration, which was still building the stockpile. US daily consumption is 20 to 21 million barrels in 2026, which means the reserve can supply 17 days of gasoline, which falls on July 1st.
Donald Trump may be in mental decline, but he still retains enough smarts to understand that an oil shortage and soaring prices of gasoline in July is politically untenable.
Another factor is that US installations and aircraft in the Persian Gulf took a helluva beating last week. The US attacks on Iranian installations in the Strait of Hormuz on June 9 and 10 provoked a fierce Iranian response that hit targets in Iraq (CIA-bases supporting the Kurds), Kuwait (the Ali Al Salem airbase, Camp Buehring in northeastern Kuwait, as well as a makeshift operations center near the civilian port of Shuaiba), the Prince Saud Airbase adjacent to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the Mowaffaq Al Salti Airbase in Jordan. The attacks were devastating and reportedly employed some new Chinese missiles supplied to Iran...........more.........

i suspect this concerns us all, as if it were a part of several hit movies in recent times. i don't see schwartzenegger anywhere in the area, but he could be around the corner;
While investigating who was building the data centers in the Nashville area for a podcast interview, the pieces fell into place. The main proposal comes from DC Blox for a site at 648 Grassmere Park in the Grassmere Business Park right next to the Nashville Zoo. Their plans start with a roughly 69,000 square foot building and expand to a much larger second one targeting around 50 MW of power capacity. A separate proposal at Fisk University adds another tech and data component. DC Blox based in Atlanta is the developer driving the Grassmere project through local permits. As I looked closer at the money behind it and what these massive AI facilities will power, the bigger picture became impossible to ignore.
Limitless Global Money Powers These Projects
The money comes from enormous interconnected global funds that give these projects nearly unlimited backing. DC Blox has already locked in well over $2 billion through green loans expanded to $850 million on top of earlier facilities and other financing including a $240 million deal from Global Infrastructure Partners now part of BlackRock. Equity backers include Future Standard tied to Post Road Group and Bain Capital Credit. This is not local money. It is big global capital flowing into data centers across the Southeast and beyond.

oh, no, the n word. lets all run around waving our hands over our heads moaning about how we love diversity while we work to remove all possibility of offending anyone. don't like another word? lets burn all the dictionaries that contain it. doublespeak and orwells world is being installed all around us with little resistance, if any;
Massachusetts parents are reeling after a fifth-grader discovered a racial slur in a school dictionary.
An outdated French-English dictionary at Tucker Elementary School in Milton was discovered to contain the N-word after a student read the word aloud in a French classroom.
The incident that stirred the community earlier this month saw parents looking for better from the school, which has already been caught up in racial controversy.
Last week on Wednesday, parents arrived to pick up their children from the school wearing red shirts in an effort to show solidarity with Black students.
Milton’s interim Superintendent John Phelan told the Globe that the district is working with parents and families to address the concerns raised and agreed to determine a plan of action.
Phelan added that an investigation determined that staff had adhered to policies and procedures, though he told the outlet that district policies may be revised in response to the incident.
According to Phelan, the dictionary was removed from the classroom and a review of the other books within the school has been launched.
Parents, however, were frustrated by the schools response. According to the Globe, Tucker officials initially only notified parents of students within the French immersion program.
a deal is a deal until its not;
Iran says termination of the Israeli war on Lebanon is an “inseparable” part of an agreement between Tehran and Washington to permanently end the illegal US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei made the remarks during his weekly press briefing on Monday as American and Iranian officials confirmed that the two sides had finalized a memorandum of understanding (MoU), with a formal signing ceremony expected on Friday.
He said that the finalization of the Iran-US memorandum that calls for ending the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, was the outcome of the Islamic Republic’s resilience against two evil actors.
He added that the Zionist regime’s crimes in Beirut’s southern Dahiyeh suburb, which took place amid mounting efforts towards an agreement between Iran and the US, became a means to secure the national interests of Iran and Lebanon at a maximum level and made the Resistance Axis more united.
“Lebanon and the termination of the war in Lebanon are an inseparable part of the understanding on ending the [US-Israeli] war [on Iran]. We have shown that we are determined in this regard and have proven in practice that we are serious, and we will continue to monitor developments carefully in the future,” he said............more..........
the show goes on and the highway never ends;
The United States and Iran have agreed to a deal to end Donald Trump’s disastrous, illegal war – at least for now. The agreement, leaked details suggest, represents yet another humiliating defeat for the U.S. president, as well as for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The initial goal of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran was to topple the Iranian regime. That didn’t happen. The administration claimed the war would only last a few weeks. It stretched well beyond three months. The conflict only created more leverage for Iran, which successfully closed the Strait of Hormuz – stopping the flow of oil, causing energy prices to spike, and throttling the global economy.
Trump appears to have finally cried uncle. And on his 80th birthday, too.
The deal, which is expected to be signed on Friday, is technically another temporary ceasefire – a 60-day pause, during which the U.S. and Iran will negotiate over an end to Iran’s nuclear program. Still, both the U.S. and Iran are casting the agreement as a path to permanently end the war.
Israel appeared to try to torpedo the deal on Sunday by launching a new round of attacks on civilians in Beirut. It was a similar story to what happened a week before, with Trump once again criticizing Netanyahu in conversations with reporters on Sunday.........more.........

Six years ago, in 2020, French political leader Marine Le Pen described the Migrant Pact, which was then in the planning stages, as the “suicide of Europe.” She said it would bring 60 to 70 million new migrants to Europe, as Remix News reported at the time.
Europe is about to find out just how prophetic its critics have been. On June 12, the highly contested EU Migration Pact officially came into force, instantly triggering a sharp political divide across the continent.
Brussels is already signaling a hardline approach toward resistance; the bloc’s own EU Migration Commissioner recently admitted that the Union is preparing a “crackdown” on member states that refuse to comply with the new relocation directives.
At the heart of the controversy is the pact’s mandatory migrant quotas, framed by Brussels as “burden-sharing.” In practice, critics argue this distribution system allows nations like Germany and France a convenient mechanism to offload asylum seekers onto Central and Eastern European nations – such as Poland and Hungary – which have historically............more........
here's why massie reading the uss liberty story on the congressional floor matters, and in this consider the reactions of other politicians that speak loudly about who and what they are;
On June 8, 1967, the American Navy’s ship the USS Liberty was attacked by Israel, killing 34 and wounding at least 171.
On June 8, 2026, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said, on the House floor,
It’s my great honor, maybe one of the biggest honors of my lifetime, to stand here on the floor and do something that’s 59 years overdue, to recognize the survivors and those who gave their lives on the USS Liberty 59 years ago today, when they were viciously attacked by IDF [Israel Defense Force] jets and also after that by torpedo boats.
Massie continued, “I’m going to tell you a little bit of their story,” and he did tell their harrowing tale in the five minutes allotted to him. “And by the way, there’s at least a dozen of them here today with us. I just met with them in my office and they related this story to me,” Massie signaled to the USS Liberty survivors who were in the House chamber when he made his speech.
A member of Congress paying tribute to American servicemembers isn’t exactly unusual. Still, habitually hawkish Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas took issue with Massie doing this, writing on X, “I’ve always had respect for Massie. He was always—in my opinion—wrong about his approach but he was standing on heartfelt principles and had intellectual backing. He’s a nice guy.”
“But comments like this make me question his authenticity,” Crenshaw wrote, referring to Massie’s original announcement that he would honor the USS Liberty servicemen. “The USS Liberty incident is a tragic one, but it’s an incident with a clear conclusion if one uses any objective analysis of the facts. I thought Massie was capable of objective analysis.”
here's the sort of support we get from our good buddy after years of paying for just about every little thing they moan about;
Top Israeli officials said not only that Israel is not bound by the U.S.-Iran peace pact to be signed on Friday, but also that it will not abandon the territories it has illegally seized in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon.
The nation’s ministers of defense, finance, and national security denounced the agreement, although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu only warned that Israel will never permit Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.
On Sunday, Israel struck targets in Lebanon, supposedly to respond to a Hezbollah attack on Israel.........more...........

this is one of the ways the aggressive empire creates atmosphere's it opposes in an attempt to establish its dominance says alistair crooke;
Trump’s chokehold on oil, tariffs, and tech backfired – forging a new era of self-sufficient economies and generational confrontation.
Professor Michael Hudson, in a recent discussion, takes issue with those who speak today of the ‘decline of the U.S. hegemon’. A decline implies something goes up and down, Hudson says, but it always recovers.
“But there’s never been any such thing statistically as a cycle … There’s no decline, it’s a crash” —
“We’re seeing the ending of an era, not a decline, but an abrupt change. And this change is not stemming from without: The ending of the American power did not result from any foreign civil war or other war against American dominance. The end came from the United States itself in trying to juxtapose its interest as hegemon against that of every other country”.
Paradoxically, Professor Hudson says:
“Every move taken to escape U.S. ‘decline’ has become the mechanism that delivers it. The U.S. went to war to reassert dominance – and proved it could no longer dominate … It waged forty years of maximum pressure to break Iran, and instead forged the very adversary that is now [facing down U.S. domination]”............more..........
considering larry johnson's thoughts here it becomes a bribery game which only ends as it was gonna anyway, but delayed, so anticipate more war on iran at some point in the not too distant future;
Well, when news broke that Israel had bombed the southern suburb of Beirut on Sunday afternoon, the Iranians started gearing up for promised retaliation only to be dissuaded by a Donald Trump bribe. Iran and the US reportedly were closing in on an agreement based on Iran’s 14-point plan when the Israeli strike in Lebanon threw everything into chaos. Iran quickly started ramping up for a renewed missile strike on Israel, but Donald Trump rump reportedly offered Iran financial incentives to not attack Israel.
Iranian media outlet Mehr reported that a 14-point memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran calls for the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets during a 60-day negotiation period, with half of that — $12 billion — required to be made available to Iran before negotiations even begin. The MOU also reportedly includes immediate and permanent cessation of war on all fronts including Lebanon, a US commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs, lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days, and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian arrangements.
Trump essentially offer Iran a bribe to not attack Israel. Hedeclared on Truth Social that the US deal with Iran was “now complete,” authorizing the toll-free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate removal of the US.naval blockade, instead of waiting 30 days. He also agreed that Iran could receive the $12 billion as soon as the ceasefire agreement was signed on Friday..........more........

June 16, 2026
“At midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do”
– Bob Dylan “Desolation Row.”
Perhaps you have noticed – if you have any idea who I am or give a damn – that I have slowed down my political analyses of our current situation. It’s gotten tiresome since little changes despite all the spilled ink.
What I am going to say is not uplifting, so you can rip up this letter now if you want encouragement. The people whom I thought I knew never changed. They continue to believe the false premises that keep them smiling despite decades of facts to the contrary. Smiling’s important, I guess, and they prefer false hope to none and feel much safer on the other side of desolation row. They keep shouting at me silently, as Dylan put it long ago in “Desolation Row”: “Which side are you on?” But I don’t answer such lame questions while they keep not thinking too much about desolation row for fear of going there.
A example from 2021. The Orange Man was out and the Comatose Man was in the White House. In and out, back and forth they go, coming forth to carry us home. If the sounds you’re hearing these days sound familiar, well, they are.
In 2021 in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the 20th anniversary of the mass murders of September 11, 2001, the corporate mainstream and so-called alternative media were replete with articles analyzing the consequences of 9/11 that resulted in the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and its alleged withdrawal after two decades of war............more.........
this may be showing us where things are heading in the gulf, and understandably so, now that the empire has shown it can't fill its part of the protection racket it began years ago;
The United Arab Emirates, which spent months lobbying Washington to wage war against Iran, which joined U.S. and Israeli forces in striking Iranian territory, and which tried to sabotage Pakistan's peace mediation efforts, has now quietly paid Tehran billions of dollars to stop bombing Emirati soil. The UAE has already delivered $3 billion to Iran as part of an agreement that two regional sources told Reuters reached as high as $10 billion, while two other sources put the eventual total at $20 billion. This is not a peace deal. This is a protection payment wrapped in the language of diplomacy, and it tells the real story of who controls the Middle East's economic destiny.
Key points:
- The UAE agreed to unlock billions of dollars for Iran following weeks of Iranian attacks on the wealthy Gulf Arab state during the U.S.-Israeli war with the Islamic Republic.
- In return for the disbursement, Iran would halt missile and drone attacks on the UAE, and there would be a rebuilding of bilateral ties, including intelligence sharing and economic cooperation.
- IRGC officials, sanctioned by the United States, were hosted at the personal guest house of the UAE's national security adviser, Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed al-Nahyan, signaling a depth of engagement that goes far beyond back-channel diplomacy.
- The UAE is Iran's most important trading partner, and the financial flows unleashed by this deal are virtually guaranteed to cycle back through the Emirates' own economy.
- The arrangement may be designed to allow the Trump administration to claim it did not pay Iran a ransom, while the UAE absorbs the political cost and reaps the economic reward.
- Iran has approached at least two other Gulf Arab countries to make a similar arrangement, suggesting a broader regional protection racket may be taking shape.........more........
pcr makes the case that greater israel is a real intention for completion by the zionists;
Greater Israel is Real
Paul Craig Roberts
The concept of Greater Israel comes from Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism. In Herzl’s words Greater Israel is a Jewish State consisting of the territory from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Iraq, a much larger area than Palestine out of which Zionists have created Israel. Zionists believe that the complete absorption of Palestine into Israel is merely the beginning, not the end, of the creation of the Zionist Judenstaat.
Herzl was not a multiculturalist. He did not believe that Jews could be assimilated into countries with Christian cultures. He advocated for a Jewish homeland that would recall the Jewish diaspora to a Jewish country. Palestine happened to be a British protectorate which the British “protected” by turning the lands and inhabitants over to the Zionists to be made into a new country known as Israel.
The current Israeli absorption of Gaza and the remaining fragments of the Palestinian West Bank do not signify the completion of the Zionist State of Israel. In Herzl’s description of Greater Israel, Egypt east of the Nile, Iraq west of the Euphrates, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon are part of the Zionist state in the making.
In the past year Israeli government ministers have held up maps in front of TV cameras showing an expansion of Greater Israel from the Nile to Pakistan, which includes the entirety of Saudi Arabia.
What the Muslim world, not just the Arabs whom Israel and its US ally have defeated, but also Iran, Turkey and perhaps Pakistan do not understand is that they, also, are targeted for termination. Last February former Israeli prime minister Bennett was in the US to speak to the annual meeting of the Israel Lobby that pretty much rules America. Bennett told the Israel Lobby that “Turkey is the next Iran.” In other words, get busy demonizing Turkey so the dumbshit American population will see Turkey as the new enemy replacing Iran which Bennett thought was about to be defeated and removed as a constraint on Greater Israel.
Bennett was premature. Iran did not collapse, and might not. But Turkey and Saudi Arabia, if they are capable of paying attention, have been warned. If Washington and Israel have been stymied by Iran, what are the Zionists’ chances against Turkey, and Saudi Arabia? The fact that the agenda of Greater Israel is unrealistic does not deter Zionists. In the Middle East only Israel has a long-term agenda.
In the talks about peace there is never mention of the Zionist Agenda of Greater Israel. Not even the Iranian government has asked why Israel has a right to the entire territory of the Middle East. It is as if the Iranians, Turks, Saudis have never heard of the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.
It is often the case that countries, like people, ignore what they don’t want to have to deal with. If that is the case, then other Muslim countries will join Palestine in their demise. ............https://paulcraigroberts.org/greater-israel-is-real/
the wars will continue until the zionists are satisfied it appears;
There Is No Peace Deal
False claims by Pakistan’s Prime Minister, US President Donald Trump, and innumerable legacy and alternative media notwithstanding, there is no peace agreement, and judging from Israel’s refusal to accept the Memorandum of Understanding between Washing and Tehran, there will not be one. The entire charade was just another hoax that Iran went along with perhaps to prove the point that Israel intends war.

Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz added his weight to that of National Security Minister Gen-Gvir by declaring that Israel will not withdraw from southern Lebanon and is proceeding with Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon and relocation of residents. Katz said Israel’s conquests in Lebanon are “among the IDF’s greatest achievements” in the war, and gave no indication that Israel intended to stop its advance northward into Lebanon.
Karz said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “made these points clear” to both Trump and U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
