The same people freaking out over Iran enriching uranium are completely silent about Israel’s stockpile of nuclear weapons. If that’s not hypocrisy, what is?
Conflating a murderous terror organization responsible for thousands of deaths and misery in the Middle East as the largest state sponsor of terrorism pretending to be a government and a democracy! Now that’s a stretch.
In a way, Trump getting the Nobel Peace Prize sounds perfect to me since I associate it wholly with warmakers like Obama and Kissinger. It's hilarious so many are suggesting he get it for "peace" when that's not the type of person it's for!
We have finally destroyed Iran's nuclear program that has been weeks away from building a bomb for thirty years [sarcasm alert]! I am neither confident that the program has actually been destroyed or that the "ceasefire" will last any significant amount of time.
I am promoting my campaign to be the new president and treasurer of all nonprofits, and then we are all going to stand up together and invoke the Declaration of Independence. We are taking back our consent to be governed by this corrupt government. Google me, Sassy Grace Woodruff, Nancy K Woodruff, Nancy k Sack.
Nonprofits are not owned by their creators. They are owned by the entire public as they are public corporations. When a nonprofit is breaking its bylaws, and they all are, then anyone of the public can call a vote for new leadership of any nonprofit. I am asking for all of them. I can hold two offices, president and treasurer, so that I have control of the money and can spend it as I please. If you see somebody who is hungry and you have the means to feed them and you don't do it your faith is dead. A nonprofit is only for humanitarian reasons and if they have any money in the bank and someone is hungry, they must feed them or they are breaking their bylaws.
Nonprofit means no money in the bank if someone is in need. A true nonprofit is capable of spending all the incoming money, so that it circles around and comes back. The Bible says every seven years the church must declare jubilee, which means no one owes debt anymore except for their property, and every third seven years which is 21 years they are debt-free including all property. I have never heard of a Jubilee ever taking place but that's what I plan to do when everyone chooses me to be the new president and treasurer of all those trillions and trillions of dollars.
Familiar nonprofits are Bill Gates's foundation, Warren Buffett's foundation, World Vision, Feed the Children, Red Cross, the Catholic Church, the Baptist Church, the Pentecostal church, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mormons, Islam's nonprofits, Salvation Army, Boys and Girls Clubs, Feeding America, United Way, UNICEF, American Heart Association, Goodwill, Rockefeller foundation, and so many more!
Once we are taking care of ourselves, there is absolutely nothing the government can do when we take back our consent to be governed, because that's what the Declaration of Independence tells us to do.
When, in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands, which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station, to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind, requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created, equal that they are endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter, or to abolish it, and institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall see most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more DISPOSED to SUFFER, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future Security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of the people of the United States, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of Government. The history of the US Presidents is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct objection the establishment of an absolute tyranny over the United States. To prove this let facts be submitted to a candid world.
The presidents have refused their assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
TIME TO ADD YOUR GRIEVANCES TO THE LIST THAT IS WAY LONGER THAN THEY HAD AGAINST THE KING OF ENGLAND. WE SHALL FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT WHERE ALL MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN, REGARDLESS OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, OR WHERE THEY CAME FROM SHALL BE EQUAL! Make life fair for all.
It's fair for DJT to take a short-term win on this situation. What matters is whether the long-term prospects in the Middle East will be more peaceful or less peaceful than previously, as a result of these actions. Nobody knows the answer.
"I just know that I have little interest in hearing someone spout on video about some topic, if they don’t have the capacity or interest to discipline themselves to write about it at any length. Maybe that’s elitist or whatever, but it’s my sincere intuition."
Not to go all Karen on you, but why do I have to be "re-authenticated" after following a link here from my email?
Anyway, awesome news that you will be covering this summit! I love your writing and your interviews. I especially love your interviews because you ask questions that nobody else does.
Tens of thousands of centrifuges enriching uranium to 60%(when peaceful use for energy requires 3%), buried hundreds of feet below ground in multiple different sites. Storing thousands of rockets and making more constantly. These are objective truths about a belligerent, hostile, threatening (“death to the little satan and the big satan”) Iran that worried everyone in the Middle East. I for one am relieved that the ability for this autocratic theocracy to make a nuclear weapon has been degraded for the foreseeable future.
1) March 2025, our own threat assessment deemed Iran had shut down their nuclear weapons program in 2003.
2) Iran is part of the Nuclear proliferation treaty which doesn’t limit how much uranium a country may enrich even if it’s up to 99%. No limits. Iran was not in violation of anything. There are only four countries not part of this treaty: Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
3) If you can’t see the similarities in the wmd hoax with Iraq (made up weapons in order to regime change) and the wmd hoax in Iran (made up weapons in order to regime change). Then I can’t take you seriously. Oh, wait, I already couldn’t take you seriously.
4) Typically I don’t like the bully mentality that is prevalent with online posting, but in the case of warmongers such as yourself I say to, go enlist. I hope you get sent to the front line somewhere.
There is already an autocratic theocracy with nuclear weapons, it's called Israel and it's a Jewish state that forbids the participation of any secular party that opposes it being a religiously Jewish state. It has countless arcane laws based on bizarre Jewish orthodoxies and the Talmud.
On the other hand, Iran at least has other religions and ethnicities represented in its Parliament by law, such as Iranian Jews; something outright forbidden by Israel's constitution.
Why worry about the theocracy that doesn't have nuclear weapons when there is one that already does, and is even headed by a war criminal starting one conflict after another just to stay in power?
Your a virulent antisemite Emma. Your ideology makes you incompetent when it comes to discussing Israel. The statements you’re making comparing an autocratic theocracy who have suppressed any dissent and jailed and/or murdered dissidents who are outspoken against the government, versus democracy. There is a great hatred of the mullahs and the government in Iran. I don’t see the people in Israel including a substantial Arab population wanting to foment a revolution. So you stick with Iran and the mullahs, good luck, you should visit Iran and see how a woman is treated there. You might enjoy it.
The same set of facts can be utilized to come to a far different conclusion. Iran has seen regime change operations run in the last few decades against Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yemen. Benefits of these ops accrue to Israel and it's Greater Israel Project. And ultimately to the US-centered Western Empire, which is Israel's boss. For example, regime changing Iraq on false pretenses, followed by the overthrow of Assad by terrorists supported by the West opened a huge swath of safe airspace for Israel to launch its attempted "decapitation" attack. Now if you are in Iranian leadership and you see this happening (almost all of which was a strategy cooked up by US Neocons in "A Clean Break"), do you roll over, give up your sovereignty and become another Satrap of the Empire? Or do you use what you have to the greatest effect? You enrich Uranium to close to weapons grade so that you have plausible strategic deterrence. Nobody has said they have the bomb, only that they could have it "soon". I've heard this at least since the 1990s. That ambiguity worked for Iran almost as well North Korea actually building and testing nukes. You don't see anybody attacking North Korea, tho I'm sure there is a mad plan to do so on the shelf. In attempting to destroy Iran's deterrence, the empire might have just given Iran the push to convince them to actually build the nuke(s).
I guess Israel didn’t need the “safe air space” to take out the Syrian heavy water reactor? Your supposition is that the Iranians spent hundreds of billions building these massive enrichment facilities buried deep underground requiring years to build for “plausible strategic deterrence”?? I’m afraid devious minds like the mullahs aren’t as nuanced as you. This is your theory not supported by any evidence regarding Iran’s intent.
The facts are irrefutable, add Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis many thousands of dead Americans. Your defending a murderous, group of religious zealots that brutalize their own citizens. Is it that you hate Israel, the US or just like defending the indefensible?
Why don’t you tell us all how Israel brutalizes its own citizens Emma. You’re using the Orwellian/democrat tactic of whatever you’re doing, blame that on your foes. No one buys that horseshit any longer.
First of all it’s NON proliferation treaty, you should get that straightened out. Secondly it’s not stated that countries can enrich to 99%. Thirdly your conflation of wmd with documented uranium enrichment in Iran is your own problem. Finally if you feel bullied by what I said, you probably shouldn’t be commenting on Substack snowflake.
The same people freaking out over Iran enriching uranium are completely silent about Israel’s stockpile of nuclear weapons. If that’s not hypocrisy, what is?
"... Israel’s stockpile of nuclear weapons..."
... which got its start through the theft of uranium from the United States...

That's a rather long-winded description of Israel you gave.

Peace is War.

I don't watch a lot of videos or podcasts. I'm here on Substack to read.
It's fair for DJT to take a short-term win on this situation. What matters is whether the long-term prospects in the Middle East will be more peaceful or less peaceful than previously, as a result of these actions. Nobody knows the answer.
The answer to whether or not American interventionism makes the Middle East more peaceful is always no.
Totally agree with this:
"I just know that I have little interest in hearing someone spout on video about some topic, if they don’t have the capacity or interest to discipline themselves to write about it at any length. Maybe that’s elitist or whatever, but it’s my sincere intuition."

I’m absolutely astounded that people fall for this shit after the WMD hoax in Iraq…
Conflating WMD fiasco with what Iran has been documented to have done enriching uranium seems to be your problem.
You haven’t explained any of what I’ve said. Calling it a “hoax” is an absurd opinion. The facts are the facts.
1) March 2025, our own threat assessment deemed Iran had shut down their nuclear weapons program in 2003.
2) Iran is part of the Nuclear proliferation treaty which doesn’t limit how much uranium a country may enrich even if it’s up to 99%. No limits. Iran was not in violation of anything. There are only four countries not part of this treaty: Israel, India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
