This present mis-information campaign being waged by
the propaganda machine on the US population continues to
escalate to the point of total confusion.
While one politician states "we won the war in Iran", another
will announce the hostilities will continue "until objectives are
achieved". As one states "minimal US casualties", the next will
opine "there will be many more deaths".
Of course, we can not know the realities. Censorship is key to
holding perceptions in a vague state of unawareness. Israel is
a good example. Regional sources show Tel Aviv being pummeled,
destruction in Haifa, US bases being obliterated, energy infrastructure
being destroyed in the region and not a peep from the media machine.
And Hezbollah is fighting back on their front
The latest boast US warships will escort tankers thru the Straights of
Hormuz is almost comical. At the same time said military assets are
withdrawing out of range of missiles and drones? Or France entering the
fray by sending their aircraft carrier while their destroyer retreats due to
'mechanical issues'.
Once the warships' munitions are depleted, they are forced to sail all the
way to Italy to replenish. It may be too late by the time they return.
In spite of what we are being told, you get the impression this encounter
is going very badly for the US/IS forces. Oh well, we started it. Hell to pay.

It appears GCC nations are having second thoughts
.
of sponsoring the US war machine. Places like
Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar
are feeling the pinch. Egypt, Jordon, Kuwait, Iraq
Lebanon and Yemen are not exactly happy with
Uncle Sam just now.

In keeping with
the concept of the mixed messages, I have suddenly started receiving 2-3 spam messages per day of colorfully-illustrated multipage ads from guns.com, "The Purveyors Of Freedom". As usual, attempting to unsubscribe simply increases the number of spams. Apparently, America needs yet more guns.
I suspect, but cannot prove, that this might have something to do with having recently crossed swords with the local Circle D Corp management, since they clearly have my email to freely give out. Of course it could also just be a random thing, where one list is sold to the keepers of another list: I get at least 3 ads a week offering lists of "known verified email addresses" for sale. In any case, I'm sure that the ultimate outcome here will be that I begin receiving all of the rabid right-wing MAGA spam that I had somehow managed to avoid previously. It may be time to simply retire that 30+year-old email address, despite its commercial and sentimental value to me.
Anyway, the weapons-sellers here in this country are clearly smelling the blood in the water, so to speak, and are all agog to sell as much as they possibly can as quickly as they possibly can into what they believe to be a target-rich (albeit potentially very short-lived) environment.
It's going to be a long war, unless Bibi decides to go nuclear. If so, we'll go right with him, since those checks have already been written and cashed. And then it will be a very, very *short* war.
Not a fan.
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Yeah, it is quite the spam scam
.
The original address I used to set-up my account -
last time I checked had about 800 to 1000 items in
the inbox. That was many years ago. I never used it
but switched to a couple I still use to this day. One
for business and the other for personal. Unfortunately
my email provider (Cox) shut down operations and
dumped us all over to Yahoo. Not happy about that.
But for whatever reason, spam is not an issue.
Good luck sorting it out.

Watching the MSM Nightly News
has become a comedy show. As you said the contradictions, falsehoods, and obvious propaganda are strait out of "The Book", 1984.
I stumbled across a new term yesterday describing the media talking heads as "Precision Guided Journalists".
Rather apt, except for the journalist part.
Also saw an AI generated "Breaking News" video short about a US carrier being hit and in flames. But it had a couple of glaring mistakes that rendered it stupid to even post.
A lot of crazy crap out there, probably intentional. Bury us in bullshit until we can see nothing.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
