It is 10:15am on the west coast and NBC and ABC are covering the escalation of violence between Israel and its enemies. In a titanic wave of irony, both networks are referring to Iran's "retaliatory" missile attack, even as they cheerlead for Israel and the Pentagon's defense against it.

If Iran is "retaliating," that means that Israel started the ruckus. That blows up the propaganda about Israel just defending itself from "terrorists."

If one takes all this at face value, we will all be dead or envying those already dead from nuclear war within a few days.

I do not have a scintilla of evidence to support my skepticism about this CRISIS, but I suspect that we are watching another version of the Ukraine-Russia war that sure nuff kills a lot of people, as the fighting drags on toward its third year with nonstop bullshit perpetually claiming that Ukraine is "winning."

The imperative is war. But if somebody actually wins a war, the gravy train stops.

I also suspect that some other mysterious agenda is at work to establish a new world order.
