After the dead people are added back, THEY ARE MAILED BALLOTS
Michigan Rep Rachelle Smit “I took off a dead voter in my township and guess what? That dead voter was put back on”
“There was a family member who at one point was registered at my in-laws home, and that family member had died nearly 20 years prior. They were put on the rolls at 2020. They were mailed voter application ballots without the authorization”

“They were going to take over the Middle East, they were going to control it all: UAE, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia. They had 1,200 missiles pointed at these countries.”
“All these nations were afraid of Iran and they are not anymore.”
“But they had reason to be afraid. We have knocked the hell out of them like no other nation could and they still have remnants left.”

Hungarian authorities have detained seven Ukrainian citizens and seized tens of millions of dollars, euros, and gold that were being transported through the country in armored vehicles, triggering the latest diplomatic dispute between Budapest and Kyiv.
According to the Hungarian authorities, the vehicles were carrying approximately $40 million, €35 million in cash, and 9 kilograms of gold.
“Since January, a total of $900 million and €420 million in cash has been transported through Hungary, and 146 kilograms of gold bars have also been transported through the country,” he said

Gee …. what’s just a $Billion US in cash from American & Canadian & EU taxpayers heading off to support yachts of freedom…….of course maybe there is a legitimate reason for a $Billion here a $Billion there ….. or maybe not …. this is just what they’ve caught!
While flames engulf Iranian oil depots following U.S. and Israeli strikes, and Iran retaliates with missiles targeting the UAE and Israel, the UK Ministry of Defence has sparked backlash by circulating a survey to troops about relaxing appearance standards. The questionnaire asks if male soldiers should be allowed to wear makeup, nail polish, and longer hair, ridiculously framing it as a push toward “gender-free” policies.
Shadow Defence Minister Mark Francois slammed the initiative, stating, “Upgrading to mascara from camouflage cream is hardly likely to deter Putin.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei of course has a different theory. He said in a fresh statement that the attacks aim “at partitioning our country to take illegal possession of our oil riches.” He likely has Syria in mind, which Iran propped up on support of Assad for over a decade, but which has been permanently fractured, weakened, and a once significant Russian-supplied anti-air defense and missile arsenal utterly destroyed. The Syria model is something Israeli policy makers have talked about for decades, and Israel appears to be willing to smash an entire Iranian nation of 90+ million.

The US will control almost a third of the world’s oil and make record profits if it succeeds in toppling the Iranian government, hawkish Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News on Sunday.
Graham made the comments as global oil prices surged past $100 per barrel, which US President Donald Trump dismissed as “a very small price to pay” for the US-Israeli war against Iran, which was launched on February 28.
Graham described the cost of the attacks as the “best money ever spent,” arguing that the purpose is to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons – which Iran has denied that it intends to do, insisting that its nuclear program is peaceful.
“When this regime goes down, we’re going to have a new Middle East, we are going to make a ton of money. Nobody will threaten the Strait of Hormuz again,” Graham said, adding that the US will install a “friendly” government in Tehran.
“Venezuela and Iran have 31% of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31% of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment.”
This is another important essay by JHK. Not so much about the need to pass the SAVE act, that is obvious, but because he highlights one of the biggest mistakes the Supreme Court has made,and they have made more than a few. I was incredulous when they made this ridiculous ruling, back in 2010. http://kunstler.com/p/farther-along
“And when the election machinery has been fixed, we had better do something about the plague of corporate money that runs like poison through our politics because of the Supreme Court’s foolish decision in the 2010 Citizens United case. They decided (by a slim 5-4 majority) that limitless campaign contributions by corporations amounted to free speech under the Constitution.
I will tell you concisely why this was tragically fallacious. Free speech in our country is a God-given right of sovereign citizens. Corporations are not citizens. Corporations don’t have obligations, duties, and responsibilities to the public interest (a.k.a. the common good). Corporations explicitly, by law, have obligations, duties, and responsibilities solely to their share-holders. The interests of corporate share-holders and the nation’s public interest are manifestly oppositional. Perhaps now you can see why this was such a dreadful invitation to political chaos.”
One former L7 told me: “I literally trained the AI that made me redundant”
Now they are sending comms from the official White House account?
They are getting bolder.
So there are two possibilities:
A) Trump and his admin have no idea that they have been repeatedly sharing Q phrases and memes
B) Trump and his admin absolutely know that they have been repeatedly sharing Q phrases and memes
What you believe is up to you, but the reality is, Trump and his admin share Q memes all the time. Most people just brush it off and say it’s just a coincidence, that Trump is just an oblivious old man on his phone that has no idea what he is sharing. However, this argument has lost validity, because it keeps happening over and over again, even from official White House and Trump admin pages. If this was a mistake, it has gone uncorrected and continues to happen, which is highly improbable, borderline impossible.
Are you willing to entertain the mathematical probability that this is not an accident?\
CLANDESTINE
TRUMP DIDN’T JUST SAY HE’D PICK IRAN’S NEXT LEADER.
HE ALREADY DID.
While Iran’s Foreign Minister was on TV saying “it’s up to the Iranian people” — Trump was on a secure call with a single person: Ali Larijani.
The former Speaker of Iran’s Parliament. A man the Deep State thought was their ally. A man who met with John Kerry 14 times.
But Larijani’s son was executed by the regime in 2017. They called it a suicide. It was a message.
For 9 years, he waited. For 9 years, he plotted.
And for 9 years, he was Trump’s backchannel into the heart of the IRGC.
When Trump said “I’ll pick the next leader” — he wasn’t making a threat.
He was giving a signal.
To Larijani. To the 12 generals loyal to him. To the 4,000 soldiers ready to defect.
This isn’t a war to destroy Iran.
It’s a coup to liberate it.
And it’s happening now.

The US is “dismayed” by Israel’s strikes on 30 Iranian oil depots on Saturday, sparking the first “significant disagreement” between the allies since the war began, per Axios.
Details include:
1. The strikes reportedly went “far beyond” what the US expected when Israel notified it in advance
2. “We don’t think it was a good idea,” a senior US official said
3. An Israeli official said the US message to Israel was “WTF”
4. “The president doesn’t like the attack. He wants to save the oil. He doesn’t want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher gas prices,” a Trump adviser said
US gas prices are now expected to surge well above $4/gallon this month.
“I don’t think you understand how catastrophic the oil refinery bombing in Tehran is.”

Burning petroleum releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides that mix with rain to form sulfuric and nitric acid, essentially turning rainfall toxic.
When Saddam burned Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991, the fallout contributed to what became known as Gulf War Syndrome, with veterans developing chronic illness and cancer decades later.
The difference now: this isn’t a desert battlefield, it’s a city of 10 million people, most of which women and children.
An 80-year-old nonprofit that advises conscientious objectors says its phone is “ringing off the hook” as American service members who object to the US-and-Israel-initiated war on Iran are seeking guidance on how to avoid being a part of it. Ominously, the group’s executive director says the breadth of force mobilization is much like the run-up to the ground invasion of Iraq.
“A LOT more units have just been activated for deployment than the public knows about.”
But where’s that War Premium in the Precious Metals ?

From data centers in the Gulf area to water desalination plants, the worst-case scenario is now unfolding in the Middle East conflict, with no boundaries regarding civilian infrastructure.
We warned earlier last week, after correctly predicting that data centers would be targeted, that water desalination plants would be next (see the previous update).
Al Jazeera reports that after Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi claimed the US targeted a water desalination plant in Iran, an IRGC kamikaze drone then targeted a desalination plant in Bahrain.
Al Jazeera also outlined the importance of water desalination plants to the Gulf region:

According to Iran’s ISNA news agency, the Assembly of Experts reached their decision following emergency deliberations triggered by the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the opening hours of the war which kicked off early on February 28. “The most suitable candidate, approved by the majority of the Assembly of Experts, has been determined,” Mohsen Heydari, a member of the body, declared Sunday.
Saturday and overnight saw the war expanding into a new phase, with US and Israeli forces now hitting Iranian oil depots and refining facilities in Tehran for the first time – also what’s said to be fuel storage for the country’s armed forces, which has sent thick clouds of black smoke all over the densely-packed city of Tehran, which is comparable in size and population to New York City. Oil-soaked rain even came down, and massive oil depot fires have burned through the night into Sunday…
At this point, a full week in, the death toll has surpassed that of last June’s 12 day war. According to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), at least 1,205 civilians have been killed in Iran since the US and Israel began their attacks, including 194 children. The HRANA has highlighted child deaths despite largely being seen as a Washington-friendly NGO and what might be called part of the anti-Tehran activist opposition, and based in Fairfax, Virginia.
INCLUDING – Parts of Tel Aviv increasingly looking like Gaza: https://x.com/ShahidHussainJM/status/2030267939530932331?
INCLUDING – Iranian-Americans were happy to see Khamenei killed, but they are turning against the war as it is becoming clear that the country is being destroyed https://x.com/tparsi/status/2030397350070349911?
INCLUDING – Notable contrast between some drooling American “expert” talking about installing a “pragmatic” leader in Tehran and Tehran delivering a missile to its target in Tel Aviv. Our elites manifestly do not understand this country we’re at war with. https://x.com/AKDay89/status/2030441529672630633?

INCLUDING – Trump now openly speaks about end to Iran’s territorial integrity. Combined with bombings of national infrastructure tonight, many Iranians will perceive targeting of Iran as a nation-state with a military capability. https://x.com/mashabani/status/2030403748959240332?

DJT announced that the US wiped out IRAN’s leadership in the first 30 minutes (and again as every successor layer was announced). SO the regime change was exceptionally successful — ALL main players are dead! Now both MSM and Altmedia are giving lip service to regime change while focusing upon US control over the oil (keeping it away from China AND it’s now part of American reserves) while the country itself is turned back into dust.
•Due to widespread media and scientific censorship, accurate information which challenges pharmaceutical interests is difficult to obtain. Polling offers a unique means to bypass this blockade.
•Extensive polling shows
… 9%–34% of COVID vaccine recipients developed side effects from the vaccine,
….7-13% developed serious side effects,
….7.5-22% know someone with a severe vaccine injury,
….24-28% know someone who they believe died from the vaccine and
….46-55% believe the COVID vaccines have killed a significant number of people.
These results are profound and likely account for the unprecedented loss of trust in doctors and hospitals since COVID (from 71.5% to 40.1%) which is mirrored by a significant loss of trust in the pharmaceutical industry, government health authorities and support for childhood vaccinations (which, now, almost half of the population no longer fully trusts).

The blast, which struck around 1:00 a.m. local time, occurred at the entry to the consular section, according to police spokesperson Mikael Dellemyr in a statement to public broadcaster NRK.
“We’ve determined that an explosion ?hit the American embassy,” he said.

A classified report by the National Intelligence Council found that even a large-scale assault on Iran launched by the United States would be unlikely to oust the Islamic republic’s entrenched military and clerical establishment, a sobering assessment as the Trump administration raises the specter of an extended military campaign that officials say has “only just begun.”
The National Intelligence Council, or NIC, is composed of veteran analysts who produce classified assessments meant to represent the collective wisdom of Washington’s 18 intelligence agencies.
Russia has a question for the European countries that have shunned its energy exports: Do you miss us now?
The Kremlin is enjoying a sudden resurgence of its importance as a global supplier of oil and gas, as the conflict in Iran disrupts energy production and shipment across the Middle East and sends global energy prices soaring.
Now other markets are opening up, and perhaps it’s more advantageous for us to stop supplying the European market right now,” Mr. Putin said on Wednesday to a state television reporter, Pavel Zarubin, who chronicles the Russian leader.

A federal prosecutor in Florida is looking to build criminal cases against leaders of Cuba’s government and Communist Party, according to people familiar with the matter, as President Trump has openly suggested the country would be his next target for regime change.
The Trump administration used criminal charges as a justification for the ouster of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
The Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Miami has created a working group that includes officials from the Treasury Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to gather evidence for such prosecutions, the people familiar with the matter said. Prosecutors are looking for potential crimes related to drugs, immigration and other violations, they said.
“It could result in arrest warrants which can then be executed by the same means as we saw in Venezuela,”
Iran still vowing to never surrender…
Is a tit-for-tat oil depot war opening? This could be the next phase of escalation, already in progress.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has struck Israel’s Haifa refinery, framing the attack as direct retaliation for fresh Israeli strikes on energy infrastructure inside Iran. Iranian media alleged that US and Israeli warplanes started the tit-for-tat by hitting an oil depot in southern Tehran. The semi-official Fars News Agency reported the storage site was among the latest targets in the ongoing major bombing campaign across the country.
So de-escalation does not in fact seem to be happening, also as there are reports of a third US supercarrier en route to the region, possibly to relieve the long-deployed USS Gerald R. Ford carrier. Here is the Iranian Foreign Minister’s statement.
