An Inauspicious Start

As everyone suspected, all of Short Fake Trump’s posturing about a ceasefire and positive negotiations appear to be nothing more than yet another attempt to catch Iran with its guard down. If the IRGC reports are anywhere close to accurate, he appears to have gone to that particular well one too many times.

The IRGC, Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp, they said that they carried out a composite attack or complex attack targeting the Zionist and American terrorists in al-Kabir port as well as the coast of Port Dubai where American soldiers and their tactical equipment were precisely struck within wave 84.

The operation was executed using ballistic and cruise missiles of the 380 type. Six American combat landing craft of the LCU type were targeted in the al-Kabir port. Three of them sank after being hit while the rest are ablaze. We targeted the gathering centers of the US Army drone unit officers on the coast and one of Dubai’s hotels with loitering drones and they were precisely struck. The operation resulted in the sinking of the tactical boats and killing a large number of Americans.

That is officially coming now from Iran. That means Trump already made the deployment. Okay, they’re talking about extension. They’re trying to play this game. Iran is aware of this whole game and it’s already happening. The United States is deploying secretly. Well, they said they might, but they’re they sent some troops clearly already.

And now it’s happening. They’re actually sending troops. The United States and Marco Rubio of course talking about deescalation but they are you know pathological liars.

Now, this may or may not be true. But keep in mind that Iran is not Iraq. We actually have more reason to believe the daily Iranian reports than either the US or the Israeli accounts, because we know the latter two to be absolutely false given the continued scale of the Iranian missile and drone strikes. Whereas Iran has not falsely reported any attack waves that were not actually launched; keep in mind that damage assessments are always wildly exaggerated by everyone on every side.

LCUs are not ships, they’re landing craft designed to bring the Marines from ship to shore. However, the fact that they’re already in the region and being targeted by Iran tends to indicate that the deployment of the Marine Expeditionary Units has already moved ahead of the schedule reported by the mainstream media.

The Next Event

There won’t necessarily be one. One certainly hopes there won’t. But as things in the Middle East appear to be getting a) increasingly difficult for Israel and b) Trump appears to be desperately seeking an off-ramp before committing the US military to ground combat, the stage is set for an event designed to provide some additional motivation for Americans to support the Israeli war on Iran.

Based on various dark hints in the media, to say nothing of Laura Loomer’s mysterious and inexplicable sensory-based prediction, it would appear to be something happening on the West Coast, presumably in California, involving an iconic building a major city. So, I’d stay away from both U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles and the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco. Especially since it turns out that the building in LA just happens to be owned by the same company that owned the World Trade Center in 2001.

Yeah, It’s Going Great

The inevitable blame game for what appears to be a historic US-Israeli military defeat in the making heats up.

JD Vance confronted Benjamin Netanyahu in a tense phone call, accusing the Israeli leader of being overly optimistic about the chances of regime change in Iran. The Vice President told the Israeli leader on Monday that many of his predictions about the war which he had sold to Donald Trump had not materialized. Despite the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hardline factions have tightened their grip on power and the regime remains firmly in control.

‘Before the war, Bibi really sold it to the President as being easy, as regime change being a lot likelier than it was. And the VP was clear-eyed about some of those statements,’ a source told Axios.

Vance, who reportedly advised Trump against going to war with Iran, was appointed by the President to help lead negotiations to end the conflict.

A day after Vance’s call with Netanyahu, a Right-wing Israeli news outlet owned by GOP donor Miriam Adelson reported that the Vice President had yelled at Netanyahu over Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. White House officials, who described the story as false, began suspecting that Israelis planted it to try to smear Vance. An Israeli official denied that Netanyahu had planted the story and said his office issued a full denial when approached by reporters.

JD Vance was never likely to become president in the first place. But being second-in-command in an administration that has lost a totally unnecessary war in humiliating fashion to a third-rate power should suffice to ensure that he never wins a presidential election, even though the blame quite rightly falls on Netanyahu. The Israeli leader has been lying for decades, so it’s not really much of an excuse to claim that you took him at his word.

3GW vs 5GW

It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump and his generals think they’re fighting World War II. Col. Macgregor observed that they appear to be preparing for a massive 96-hour bombing operation next week to provide cover for the insertion of a few thousand light infantry. What this could possibly accomplish appears dubious; the plan is being compared to Operation Market Garden, or worse, Gallipoli.

No one in either Tel Aviv or Washington DC appears to have learned any lessons from watching the Ukrainian war. They’re trying to apply centralized WWII strategies while Iran is utilizing indirect asymmetric 5GW strategies. And it’s pretty clear that Iran is winning, since everything that was being reported about Iran’s missile stocks running out and its missile launchers being destroyed is observably false.

There were close to 40,000 U.S. troops in the region when the war started, and Central Command has dispersed thousands of them, some to as far away as Europe, American military officials said. But many have remained in the Middle East, although not on their original bases, military officials said… Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage. 

This is what is historically known as a “defeat” followed by a “retreat”. As Simplicius notes, this is the most infrastructure damage that the US military has ever suffered at the hands of any enemy, with the possible exception of Pearl Harbor and losing the Philippines to Japan in WWII.

There are also what appear to be Chinese reports that the Kirya, Israel’s Pentagon, has been hit and that its command structure has been disrupted. If true, the fact that Iran is now successfully striking Israel’s nuclear operations, its primary airport, and its central command indicates that the air defenses are now degraded to the point that Iran, not Israel, has airstrike superiority.

Dimona and Ben Gurion

The mainstream media is silent. The Internet is reporting three strikes on Dimona, including by a Khorramshahr-4 deep penetration missile, as well as a third strike on Ben Gurion that demolished the repairs that were just about completed from the previous two strikes.

I don’t think we can conclude that the reports are necessarily accurate, but it does appear that Iran is ending Israel’s nuclear program, if it ever actually existed in the first place.

A Fake Ceasefire Offer

I cannot believe Iran is going to entertain a third round of negotiations after the Fake Trump administration attacked it twice in the middle of the talks.

Donald Trump is seeking a one-month ceasefire with Iran and has submitted a 15-point peace plan as Washington hunts for a swift off-ramp from the war. Middle East envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are working on a framework involving ‘the declaration of a monthlong ceasefire period, during which the sides would negotiate,’ sources told Israel’s Channel 12.

The 15-point plan, modeled on Trump’s Gaza deal, was confirmed by two officials briefed on the talks, the New York Times reported.

It includes Iran dismantling all of its nuclear and long-range missile capabilities, as well as opening the Strait of Hormuz, and abandoning its ties to proxy terror groups across the Middle East.

The proposal outlines reciprocal benefits for Iran, including assistance with advancing its civilian nuclear program, as well as lifting all sanctions imposed by the international community.

Pakistan delivered the plan to Iranian officials with a 24-hour deadline to respond, Haaretz reported.

This strikes me as a transparent attempt to get the Marine Expeditionary Units past the Strait of Hormuz. But regardless, why would anyone talk with Kushner, Witkoff, and Trump anymore? They’re obviously agreement-incapable.

All a one-month ceasefire will accomplish is permit the Epstein Alliance to restock and reload. I’m sure Putin and Lavrov wish they hadn’t fallen for the Minsk 2 talks, which is why they keep turning down similar ceasefire offers in Ukraine.

UPDATE: Iran isn’t falling for it.

Iran has targeted American military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain in a fresh missile salvo after Donald Trump sent Tehran a 15-point peace plan to end the war.

She Has This Sense

Laura Loomer just has this sense that something bad is going to happen. Presumably it’s the sort of sense that Larry Silverstein had when he took out an insurance policy on the World Trade Centers.

Laura Loomer * @LauraLoomer

Soon, there will be a massive Islamic terror attack in America and the perpetrators will likely have financial ties to podcasters and those who are sowing discord for foreign nations in America.

I predict there will be many casualties and only then will it maybe set in that people have been conned into supporting a terrorist psyop to distract you from the threat of Islam while the enemy plotted to destroy our country from within with botted conspiracy theories.

It will likely be 10 times worse than 9/11.

And it’s going to trace right back to the Woke Reich in some way.

I just have this sense.

Do they seriously believe anyone is going to believe anyone but Israel and its Ziocon allies is responsible for the next big attack on the USA after the failure of Israel’s attempt at regime change by air war in Iran? And they’re going to try to kill two birds with one fake stone by somehow blaming it on “podcasters” and the nonexistent “Woke Reich”?

These lunatics aren’t merely crazy and evil. They’re totally obvious. No wonder they have so much contempt for Americans, considering how many Americans are dumb enough to fall for their self-serving fictions.

Schrödinger’s Airport

Independent sources are claiming that Ben Gurion airport in Israel has been completely shut down after 73 planes and several runways have been destroyed. The pro-Israeli mainstream media has been insisting otherwise.

Ben Gurion International Airport, located in Israel, is operational and serves as the main international airport of the country. It has not been destroyed and continues to function as a key entry point for travelers.

Of course, the fact that the same source highlights the fact that there have been no hijackings there tends to raise a few questions about how up-to-date this source happens to be. And the fact that the Iranians just launched the 78th wave of missile attacks from launchers that were 90 percent destroyed three weeks ago and missile stockpiles that were about to run out on March 6th tends to cast a certain amount of doubt on the Epstein Alliance’s information about the war.

If you want to know why the Epstein Alliance is losing the war, this is why. Gamma strategists like the kind who run Israel and the USA are so accustomed to lying and bluffing their way to success that they never realize when their tactics have run into the wall of reality. The constant pretense that everything they do is successful and devastating while everything the enemy does is pointless and ineffectual accomplishes nothing except provide them with more time to deceive the public, but sooner or later, people notice things like nonexistent missiles being fired and open, undamaged airports somehow not having any flights landing or departing.

Of course, we’ll get something closer to the truth once the sudden transition from “everything is super fine and peachy” to “we need rescue now” is made. It’s a bit ironic that we’re still supposed to believe that a few hours of a border incursion by light infantry on motorbikes is a massive deal that justifies all manner of genocide and war crimes, but 78 waves and counting of missile barrages that have sent shocks through the entire global economy is nothing.

The Blame Game Begins

Pete Hegseth appears to know that his time in the Short Fake Trump administration is coming to an end:

This is the uncomfortable moment Donald Trump appeared to shift blame onto Pete Hegseth as he suggested the Iran war was his idea.

Speaking Monday at a conference in Tennessee, Trump said: ‘I called a lot of our great people… and I said, “Let’s talk. We got a problem in the Middle East. We have a country known as Iran that, for 47 years, has been just a purveyor of terror, and they’re close to a nuclear weapon.”’

Turning to the Secretary of War who was sitting to his right, Trump added: ‘And Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up. And you said, “Let’s do it, because you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon.”‘

Hegseth forced an awkward smile as the US President continued discussing ongoing talks with Iran, claiming they had ‘started last night.’

This is how we know it’s not the real Trump. The real Trump would have fired Hegseth already.

The Ultimatum That Wasn’t

To precisely no one’s surprise, except perhaps the financial markets, the Short Fake Trump publicly backed down on his threats to bomb Iranian power plants although nothing has changed about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz:

US President Donald Trump has said he has ordered the Department of War to postpone strikes on Iranian power plants for five days, following what he claimed were “productive conversations” between Washington and Tehran. While Iranian media has denied outright that any talks with the American side took place at all, footage has emerged of significant blackouts affecting the Iranian capital on Sunday night.

I don’t even pay attention to anything that comes out of Mar-al-Largo anymore. It’s just a non-stop stream of lies, posturing, and relentless buffoonery. It’s a parody of President Trump, wherever he might be.
