There is so much news breaking heading into Easter weekend that I wanted to give a brief update.

Everything we are hearing points to an imminent ground invasion of Iran being ordered by Donald J. Trump. This could change, of course, but as of 3 p.m. on Good Friday, it’s not looking good.

• Trump fired at least three top Army generals in the last couple of days (with some reports suggesting as many as 12 generals have been purged in recent weeks), a sure sign that he has decided to launch a high-risk ground assault on Iranian territory.
• An F-15E fighter jet was shot down overnight in Iran, just two days after Trump told the nation that Iran has no air defenses left and has been totally defeated on land, sea and air. A search and rescue operation is ongoing for at least one of the two pilots onboard the downed plane. One of the two pilots has reportedly been rescued.
• A second Air Force combat aircraft reportedly crashed on Friday at the “same time” that an F-15E fighter jet went down in Iran.

The New York Times reported that the second aircraft went down in the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. The pilot was recovered, the report said. An A-10 Warthog attack plane was said to be involved in the crash.

According to the Times, the A-10 went down “about the same time that an Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran, the officials said.”

• Iran has struck a major oil refinery in Kuwait. The Iranians have also hit a major AI data center owned by OpenAI in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This comes hours after Iran hit an Amazon AI data center in Bahrain, which represents $1.2 billion in damages, not to mention lost government functionality associated with this data center.

These strikes came from a country, again, that Trump says has nothing left with which to fight.

• The Iranians are meanwhile churning out AI propaganda videos mocking the U.S. president as a loser and a coward who will meet a fiery end.
• Trump shot back at the Iranians with Truth Social posts saying he is about to hit them harder than ever.

“Our Military… hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done fast!”

• The U.S. destroyed Iran’s tallest civilian bridge in missile strike Friday.
• Iran alleges that the U.S. has hit over 600 Iranian schools, universities and other educational institutions.
• Separately, John Mecklin, editor-in-chief of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which sets the Doomsday Clock, described the war as “absolutely idiotic,” warning that “accidents, miscalculations, crazy stuff” happen in wars and a nuclear accident “can’t be ruled out” until the fighting stops.
• The Intercept reports that the White House and Pentagon are massively covering up the number of U.S. casualties already suffered in the Iran war.

Trump’s top spiritual adviser, Paula White, held an April 1 prayer service at the White House in which she compared President Trump to Jesus, saying he was betrayed, arrested, and “rose up” again to save America.

“Because of His (Jesus’s) victory, you will be victorious in all you put your hand to,” Preacher Paula told Trump.

Trump has already told us that he believes the only limit on his power is his “own morality” and his “own mind.” Combine that with the sense of invincibility that was just bestowed upon him by his personal “pastor,” who anointed him as America’s savior, and he now believes he can succeed in whatever he touches, no matter how risky, no matter how suicidal it may appear on paper or as presented by his generals. After all, the generals are mere humans acting on human wisdom. He is acting with the full power and wisdom of his god. At this point, we should all be questioning who that god is.

None of this sounds like a war that is “winding down,” as our Western media, particularly the Wall Street Journal, told us was the case just three days ago.

As I said in my article last week, this war is just getting started. The Iranians have plenty of firepower left. Reports by Reuters and others suggest they’ve only used approximately 30 percent of their stockpiles of missiles and drones.

If this war in the Middle East gets jolted into a new and much deadlier phase, as I am expecting it will, look for Trump to either cancel the November midterms or wait till shortly after those elections and declare martial law, possibly also reinstating the draft, which would cause major anti-war and anti-Trump protests to erupt nationwide.

Trump will then use that unrest as the pretext to round up his enemies. Remember those warehouses the federal government was buying up, which I reported on exactly two months ago on Feb. 4? Anyone who believes the government narrative that these human warehouse buildings were intended solely for illegal immigrants is hopelessly naive. Trump has since announced he’s no longer interested in rounding up illegals, so what does that say about the warehouse acquisitions?

I wrote about the plans for martial law on Oct. 31, 2025 here, and again on Jan. 7, 2026, here.

In the second article on Jan. 7, I wrote this:

I could foresee a scenario as we head into the 2026 midterm elections. Trump gets the U.S. involved in a major war on three or four fronts… The Democrats pull off a sweeping victory, move to impeach him, and then Trump declares martial law and basically shuts down Congress, declaring them a national-security threat. A false-flag attack could add to the drama and further grease the skids of public opinion behind Trump’s decision to take such drastic action.

I’m not suggesting that things will play out in exactly this manner in 2026, I’m merely saying that I would not be surprised if it did. Because, as we’ve seen over this last year, when it comes to Trump, all bets are off. And if he will act the way he’s acting against sovereign nations which stand in his way internationally, what’s to stop him from acting with the same audacity against sovereign citizens who make a stand against him here at home?

BOTTOM LINE: We are no longer living in normal times. We should all be bracing ourselves and preparing for full-on World War III and potential martial law, rationing, lockdowns—nothing is off the table with this administration, which is clearly on a puppet string serving someone or something other than the American electorate.

Jon Michael Raasch – Daily Mail April 2, 2026

Donald Trump charged his top military officials with crafting a plan to seize Iran‘s nuclear material, and what they created may be one of the most daring and dangerous missions ever.

The operation, which would heavily rely on US special forces like Navy SEALs or Army Rangers – both of which are already in the Middle East – calls for hundreds or thousands of boots on the ground in Iran to capture its nuclear material.

The Pentagon‘s plan for the President calls on these operators to capture nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium, according to multiple officials, who added the extraction plan could take weeks if green-lit.

Trump originally said Operation Epic Fury would last six weeks max, but the proposed plan could extend that timeline well beyond that. As of Thursday, the war has been raging for 4 weeks and 5 days.

In his speech to the nation Wednesday night, Trump said the Iran war would be over ‘very shortly,’ and he also promised the US would hit Iran ‘extremely hard’ over the next ‘two to three weeks’ if needed.

This operation would also involve flying in heavy excavation equipment, building a runway for heavy cargo aircraft and extracting the highly radioactive material – much of which is buried under rubble after US and Israeli strikes.

Insiders would expect the operation to excavate the uranium, which Trump has called ‘nuclear dust,’ to take weeks, and that while doing so, US forces would be exposed to attacks from Iranian forces.

Trump was briefed on the dangerous plan within the last week after he requested a proposal from the military.

‘This would be one of, if not the largest, most complicated special operations in history,’ Mick Mulroy, a retired CIA and Marine officer, told the Washington Post. ‘It’s a major risk to the force.’

The plan underscores the administration’s adamance to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon – even if the enriched components are buried deep underground and US special forces may come under fire.

‘It’s the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality,’ White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has said of the plan. ‘It does not mean the President has made a decision.’

After the US bombed Iran’s nuclear sites at Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow in June 2025, many of the Islamic Republic’s enrichment capabilities were buried under tons of concrete.

In order to access the nuclear material at Isfahan, ‘you have to get excavation equipment, break through the concrete and the lead shield … and then you somehow have to get to the bottom of this silo and remove the containers full of nuclear material and fly them out,’ sources familiar with the plan told the Post.

Several officials noted the plan is feasible, and special forces are trained for these types of missions, though it would be exceptionally dangerous and would expose the operators to Iranian attacks.

The plan would likely kick off with targeted strikes on Iranian defenses to create a safe path for soldiers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne and Rangers to parachute into the nuclear sites to set up a secure perimeter.

Then, engineers would need to quickly craft an airstrip to ensure that excavation equipment and more could be brought in for soldiers to begin digging out the nuclear material.

The logistics behind the mission would be daunting and require scores of soldiers, pilots, mechanics, drivers, refuelers, resuppliers and even potentially civilian nuclear experts to help mentor the troops as they handle the dangerous material.

Any potential operation would likely require troops to parachute into Iran behind enemy lines and close to their nuclear sites

Then soldiers would need to clear the sites and set up a secure perimeter before building an airstrip to bring in supplies and bring out the nuclear material

Food, water and gasoline would all need to be sent in at a steady pace to keep operations going around the clock.

The operation would be akin to setting up a forward operating base deep within enemy territory while US forces dig up and then fly out any discovered uranium.

But blasting through reinforced concrete rubble to gain access to the radioactive ‘dust’ would be grueling work and full of treacherous pitfalls.

Commandos may be forced to do all this work while wearing restrictive protective equipment and air filtration systems.

In addition, determining exactly where the nuclear material is has been difficult, and US forces tasked with its discovery could face challenges without obtaining detailed layouts of the facilities.

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has roughly 970 pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent.

Weapons-grade uranium is enriched to 90 percent, and the process of going from 60 to 90 would take a matter of days.

Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran was either weeks or days away from having nuclear weapons.

‘We haven’t seen big movements,’ showing Iran is trying to unearth the material, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has said. He noted there may have been trucks or cars visiting the bombed sites, but ‘not bulldozers digging things out.’

Press TV – April 4, 2026

Iranian armed forces announced that its air defense forces downed at least two fighter jets and five drones and missiles on Friday, describing it as a “black day” for the American and Israeli air forces.

In a statement released Saturday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) public relations wing detailed a series of successful interceptions across multiple Iranian provinces.

The IRGC’s Aerospace Defense Force fighters successfully hunted and destroyed two cruise missiles in the skies of Khomein and Zanjan, according to the statement.

Additionally, two MQ-9 attack drones were shot down in the skies of Isfahan, and one Hermes drone was destroyed in the skies of Bushehr.

The IRGC said these interceptions were carried out using its new advanced air defense system, operating under the control of the country’s integrated air defense network.

In a separate and particularly significant engagement, the IRGC’s Aerospace Defense Force successfully destroyed an advanced enemy fighter jet in central Iran.

The hunt for the missing pilot continues with reports that he failed to eject safely.

Also on Friday, Iran’s Army announced that the Islamic Republic’s integrated air defense network downed an American A-10 Warthog warplane over the country’s southern waters near the Strait of Hormuz.

The Army stated that the targeted aircraft “was tracked and engaged by the Army Air Defense Force’s systems, and subsequently crashed into the waters of the Persian Gulf.”

The IRGC statement warned that Iran’s air defenses are becoming increasingly formidable as the war imposed on the Islamic Republic by the American-Israeli coalition continues.

“With the continued innovative, sustained, and precise monitoring by Iran’s air defense heroes, the skies of Iran will become increasingly unsafe for the fighter jets of the aggressor enemy,” the statement read.

Iranian armed forces continue to carry out retaliatory military operations against the United States and the Israeli regime in response to the aggression against the country, particularly the civilian infrastructure in different provinces.

On Friday, the IRGC and the Iranian Army carried out multiple attacks as part of Operation True Promise 4, which was launched immediately after the US-Israeli coalition carried out an unprovoked act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28.

Iranian armed forces have so far carried out 93 waves of missile and drone strikes with advanced weaponry targeting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories, as well as US occupation bases and assets scattered across the West Asia region.

On March 19, Iran achieved what no country had before: a successful engagement against the US Air Force’s crown jewel, the F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter, using the Majid infrared-guided system in central Iran.

For nearly two decades, the F-35 program represented the zenith of US military hegemony, a multi-trillion-dollar, fifth-generation platform designed to penetrate the world’s most sophisticated air defenses with impunity.

Other jets in the F-family have also been engaged and struck over the past month, including several F-15s, F-16s, and F-18s, intercepted by Iran’s advanced integrated air defense systems, which experts note have improved significantly since the 12-day war.

Iranian defenses have also destroyed more than a dozen MQ-9 Reaper drones, valued at roughly $30 million each and forming the backbone of US unmanned surveillance and strike operations.

As of Friday, the IRGC announced that the total number of drones downed by the Joint Air Defense Headquarters’ integrated network has crossed 150.

Trump’s foreign policy incursions, or as he often calls them “excursions”, hit the U.S. economy badly at home.

The previous announcement by Trump which threatened Iran if it didn’t comply with his latest terms for a peaceful solution to the Iran war was to be expected. In fact, you could say it is part of a pattern, but to really understand it, you have to understand what is at the core of Donald Trump and the decisions he makes: market manipulation.

The previous threat to the last one, which was to announce a five-day pause to attacking certain installations, resulted in a small group of investors making almost 200 million dollars. The most recent threat – we don’t know yet what amount was made by Trump’s friends on Wall Street – but given that the price fell from almost $120 to a tad below $100 on the first day, we can assume huge amounts of money are being made.

We are living in a new age, a time where U.S. presidents can be driven and manipulated like never before by their cronies in the stock market, and it is now common knowledge that Trump is guilty of that. It used to be unethical and entirely unacceptable for any U.S. president to behave like this, but Trump has brought new standards to the Oval Office. The scum mark on the side of the bath has reached a new low point in terms of ethics while in office. And it’s Trump’s legacy.

The most recent threat was not to be taken seriously by Iran as it was all about making money and buying more time. Troops and equipment are arriving each day in the region, though, there can be no doubt about that. And Thunderbolt A-10 planes, often called ‘Warthogs’, are also arriving, which military figures know are only used in one role: to attack infantry on the ground with rapid-fire cannon while our own military advances.

Something big seems to be in the pipeline, and if Trump warns us that in “two or three weeks” it is coming, can we assume he’s incredibly stupid to announce it, or can we assume that it’s coming in two or three days? Or even, can we assume that it’s not coming at all?

It should not come as a great shock to us if the entire military contingent arrives in the region and the oil price hits $150 USD before Trump makes an announcement calling the whole thing off. Easily, that could be several hundreds of millions of dollars made there, perhaps even a billion, just from that market manipulation. Nothing is off limits.

But what are the lessons? Analysts always look for trends which cross boundaries and from which we can draw wisdom. Trump’s foreign policy incursions, or as he often calls them “excursions”, hit the U.S. economy badly at home, as the turmoil created by the Iran war alone is affecting global trade not just in oil but in other essential commodities.

Human rights is another one. Under Trump 2.0, in just a matter of 16 months in office, human rights abuse around the world has worsened, as Global South countries are waking up to the sham of human rights opprobrium and how the U.S. uses it as a weapon against regimes it doesn’t like, or as a gift to those it does. In Palestine, just a few days ago, the Israeli parliament voted that Palestinian people can be hanged for murder or “lethal attacks” against Israelis, but of course this new law doesn’t apply the other way around. Already human rights organisations are worried that Palestinians in jail will be hanged with no trial or due diligence whatsoever. Trump bankrolled the Gaza genocide and is now protecting Bibi from prosecution, so what did we expect?

The trend in Israel is now: do whatever it takes – literally – to keep Netanyahu in power and evading prosecution. Think of the similarity with Trump if he loses both houses. The alikeness is as chilling as it is prolific. Netanyahu quickly saw that the Iran war cannot be sustained and that Trump does not have the stomach for a war of attrition with Iran, so he panicked. His move was to send troops into Lebanon to occupy the south. Anyone who understands the history of Hezbollah in the south and Israel will tell you this only achieves one certain outcome: a forever war with Hezbollah both inside Lebanon but, as we are seeing more recently, on Israel’s turf as the Shiite proxy of Iran notches up a number of successful strikes on Israeli tanks. The move to go into Lebanon was all about the security of Netanyahu staying in office, as now that Iran is making billions out of high oil prices, they can push some of that money towards Hezbollah and keep a state of emergency going more or less forever. Netanyahu was smart and saw this before anyone else.

The murder of journalists and social media commentators. This is a trend which is only going to increase under Trump and is only a matter of time before it happens on home soil. Much hue and cry has been made about the three Lebanese journalists targeted by the IDF, with one of them being smeared with the Hezbollah association, and so this trend of governments condoning such murders in the media has its roots now established. It was not so well reported that a French journalist, Marine Vlahovic, was recently murdered in her home in Marseille before she embarked on a controversial documentary about Gaza. Just recently it has been established that the bullet which killed Charlie Kirk did not come from the so-called assassin’s rifle.

And of course the other trends in the U.S. are high inflation (driven by oil prices), off-the-scale corruption and insider trading, and soon to come, demonstrations. Trump knows massive demos are being planned by those who want to voice their concerns ahead of the midterms in November, as they see most consumer goods rising in prices, following the knock-on effect of the Gulf crisis. This is all linked to America’s alliances around the world being in tatters, as the U.S. is no longer seen as the global force for good. And all the while Iran, Russia and China develop their economies as Americans scratch their heads and wonder how they are floundering, while America looks less and less like any kind of democracy each day.

God Poet Transmitting…….

A question often comes to mind, and… I haven’t been able to answer it, or have it answered, except to presume it is an extension of the madness that is presently sweeping The World, caught in the grip of advancing Materialism. WHY… given that they are going to such extremes with bunkers and vaults, and every other survival trick that occurs to them, why are they so hell-bent on exterminating Humanity with The Killer Vaccines… the chemtrails… the poisoned water and drink… the Satanic pharmaceuticals… war, and sundry?

Shouldn’t this pending geophysical event cancel out the need for them to eliminate us… prior to the… event? I’ve played a lot of scenarios out in my head about motivation… end games… game theories and control mechanisms, and it doesn’t make sense.

I can understand unbridled greed, which has compelled a group of ill-made individuals to ride herd over the rest of us, while they fight it out with each other. I get the predatory instinct that makes some men and women obsessed with the idea of inflicting injury and humiliation on the rest of us. I probably shouldn’t say that I understand or get it, BUT… I can see how… when a person is sick in the head, it becomes possible for them to take pleasure from causing pain and loss to others.

The thing is that this sort of behavior has been around since the beginning of this round of human interactions, and it just repeats again and again, under different systems of control, whether it be descendants of royal lineage, or variations on democracy or socialism. You get an acceptable model in play, and you can run it as long as you can keep it running… before it goes belly up, or someone takes it from you.

There are also certain demographics that feed off of everyone else through clever manipulations of wealth, or the promise of gain, or pie in the sky, or birds in the hand or bush. I’ve looked up close at what’s going on around me, and I’ve looked at it from a distance, and the one thing I can say is that there is more going on than what meets the eye, but… then… that is always the case.

I notice that some portions of the population are consistently experiencing misfortune and harsh circumstances, while other portions seem to skate through life. I’ve seen people born into both extreme wealth and extreme penury. I’ve noticed that the people who are born rich are often extremely cheap and nasty individuals, and that people with very little can be awesomely generous. The contradictions are amazing.

I live in the richest country on Earth, and even though I would be considered poor by most of the people who live here, I live very well, and in a manner most satisfactory to me. I am better off than almost anyone. I’ve also seen where an entire continent can be filled with people living hand to mouth, and at the mercy of a few rich consortia that bleed them dry of their resources and their labor.

I’ve seen large groups of people who behave in bestial fashion to one another, and others that have found a common agreement in the observance of certain rules of order. I’ve seen entire nations living under the spell of brutal governments or religious systems, and sometimes both at the same time.

In other locations, I’ve seen free market competitions where almost anyone can rise to the top of the heap, given the possession of enough industry and intelligence, but… there are so many anomalies and weird events that make no logical sense. Sometimes, nations just fall apart or are captured by another nation and forced into servitude or perpetual debt.

It’s like it makes sense and does not make sense at the same time. Often, it looks to me like the people are dreaming and sleepwalking through their existence. Sometimes they’re happy, and sometimes they’re sad. Sometimes they are up, and sometimes they are down. They move from the cradle to the grave in a predictable fashion, always more interested in what is going on outside them than in what is going on inside of them.

The most clever and venal among us manipulate and agitate the primitive and impulse-driven folk among us, corrupting them and then turning them into weapons directed at the culture and those who have managed to do well in it. Some people are genetically disposed to the creation of discord and confusion. This is easily accomplished when you program the music they listen to as hellish cultural war anthems.

Sometimes there are spiritual and artistic revivals. Other times, it all looks like a prison planet, and the music and art reflect this in both cases.

I can’t seem to grasp the scheme of it because it is a little or a lot different in each location. The food is different. The language is different. The art and music are different, and most of the people are very conforming to the culture, and would probably be like a fish out of water anywhere else. Then there is the smaller number of people who don’t fit in. Some travel in regular fashion, and others just keep to themselves. Some of them are criminals, and some of them just don’t like ordinary life.

Everywhere you go, there are people who keep getting ahead of everyone else, and other people who consistently fall behind. Some are chasing the people who get ahead and trying to duplicate their actions, and some are living in the cracks. It makes sense for a little while, BUT the longer you look at it, the less sensible it seems. It makes sense because people keep doing the same things over and over, and they’re allowed to keep doing that… more or less… and it keeps them solvent, except for those times… when the few are subjecting the many… to egregious states of desperation, like it is now.

It’s gotten so bad in places that revolution looks like the only hope most people have, and that can mean hard times all around for a while. It looks like that is where it’s headed now, and this sort of thing has happened before, and it is always at its worst in those locations where the largest concentrations of the population are clustered. For some people, revolution can come, and The World might change completely, and they will hardly notice because none of it impacts them.

It really is very… very odd… how life does and doesn’t work out one way or the other. I discovered that there is a conscious energy in life, and if you can make contact with it, it will guide you through every event in your life to a positive outcome. Many people have come to this same conclusion, and entire religions are built out of certain perspectives on the matter.

I suppose that these religions are one thing when they are fresh and new, and something else when they get old and gray, and have been around a while, and become filled with absurd rules and rituals, and have also amassed large fortunes and great influence… over time, so that the principles upon which they were founded have become utterly compromised, and the people in charge of them have all turned into a pack of conniving hypocrites.

I like to get close to the well from which the waters of this conscious energy, and its vitality and inspiration flow, and that is what turns into religions, once it gets far enough from the well, and you’ve built a series of dams and canals for it. I like to get it directly from the source, BUT most people seem happier with a lot of canals and dams. Maybe it’s just easier for them to understand it all, and it doesn’t interfere in their daily lives as much as when you depend on it for everything, as I do.

People get antsy about that sort of thing when they have families and homes, jobs and social circles. It’s more difficult to live by the seat of your pants… metaphorically speaking… when you have all these responsibilities. However, I have found a way to have all of my responsibilities taken care of by this conscious energy force, which seems able to take care of everything and anything at any time; at least it has proven to be so for me.

It appears that life goes on pretty well, when there is a balance between this conscious indwelling energy force and The World outside, BUT… when The World outside becomes a compelling batshit hunger attraction… to the point where you forget all about the conscious indwelling force, then… everything gets out of balance, and The World becomes a confusion of competing appetites and hungers that drive people crazy, like it is now… like it is now… and then something has to be done to get it all orderly again.

It seems to take hundreds and even thousands of years to get really screwed up, and then a representative of this conscious indwelling energy force will appear on Earth, and provide a schematic for living that sets it all aright again. That should be happening any time now because the situation on the ground here has become a literal madhouse of people who are lost in a labyrinth of distorted mirrors.

I’ve seen this Middle East conflict inching toward nuclear for some time… at the urging of israel… who wants to destroy their stolen land… if they can’t have it themselves… at the expense of their neighbors. They also started the war in Ukraine as the next land God promised them 3,000 years ago… in honor of St. Nosferatuberg.

Religious dominionist, Pete Hegspeth, wants to be engaged in bringing about End Times. Frothing megalomaniac narcissist, President Trumpleforeskinstein believes he is not only on a mission from God, but… God in person as well, which is why he is a member of The Self-Chosen.

Hegspeth fired the Secretary of the Army (and a bunch of lesser brass) for not being an all-in kind of a guy and getting behind the corpses on the ground mindset. Trumperonistilskin also fired Pam Bondi for not being a total yes-girl, who turned out ot be a weak sister, and all sorts of pruning and threats of pruning are going on behind the scenes at the moment.

It’s getting hot all over, even the climate change frenzy wants to relocate to a planet to be named later. Fear not… unless you are a dispenser of fear… EVERYTHING is under control, and…

…One Last Thing…….

End Transmission…….

The latest slim and virtual volume that I am reading… is turning into a marvelous and unique perspective upon a subject seldom delineated with such a fine expertise. I mean, this guy is insightful and informed, not to mention exceedingly careful in his presentation. I am impressed, I mean… it made me use a lot of big words in the description here.

Pete Hegseth fires highest-ranking US Army officer in the middle of Iran war

https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=325659

This confirms that Trump plans to invade Iran. 

A frightening scenario: US invasion results in a massacre of thousands of US soldiers; US population demands revenge; Israel nukes Iran; Iranian allies nuke Israel; US nukes Iranian allies; Russia, China or N Korea nuke the US. Parts of the US resemble Gaza.

If Iran had nuclear weapons, this war would not be happening. The only credible explanation is that WW3 is part of a long-term End Times scenario described by Albert Pike designed to enthrone the Jewish God Satan. 

The demented dogma of Jews being God’s Chosen people actually means that “non-Jews” will be exterminated and Christian civilization buried, using world war as a pretext.  “Non-Jews” includes ethnic Jews like me who reject Chabad’s satanic tyranny.

Quite simply, Judaism is materialism. It expels God from Creation in order to take His place.  

The spark of Divinity in our soul is what defines us as human. 

Organized Jewry (Rothschilds) seek to invert and redefine reality (Revolution) to serve their greed and perversion. We are “hackable animals” ready for culling.

Satanist Jews crucified Christ because he denied their “Chosen-ness” and preached that God is a Spirit (Moral Order) who loves humanity equally. 

“Be ye therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect.” (Matt 5:48)

N’dea Yancey-Bragg – USA Today March 31, 2026

Attorneys for the man accused of shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk said a federal law enforcement agency did not connect the bullet found during autopsy to the suspected murder weapon.

Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder and other felonies in Kirk’s death. Kirk, 31, was killed Sept. 10 while speaking to students at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Authorities had said the gun used to assassinate Kirk was a Mauser 98, a common bolt-action rifle typically used for hunting. The hunting rifle, which had a heavier .30-06 caliber, dates back decades as German-made military surplus with millions produced and resold in the United States, experts told USA TODAY.

Officials recovered the weapon near the scene of the shooting with one spent cartridge in the chamber and three unfired bullets etched with meme-influenced messages.

Robinson’s attorneys said in a court filing that they have received a summary report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “which indicates that the ATF was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson.”

“Although the State has not indicated an intent to produce this report at the preliminary hearing, the defense may very well decide to offer the testimony of the ATF firearm analyst as exculpatory evidence,” the court filing said.

Robinson’s attorneys said the FBI is conducting a second comparative bullet analysis and a bullet lead analysis, but it was not yet complete. The defense asked Judge Tony Graf to delay the preliminary hearing, scheduled for May, in part because the team has not gotten the case files and protocols related to these analyses and other evidence from prosecutors.

The defense did, however, receive a hard drive with more than 600,000 files in a meeting March 12 with prosecutors, according to the court filing. That came on top of the 20,000 files the defense team had already received, which included 31 hours of audio and more than 700 hours of video.

Robinson’s attorneys said it would take at least 60 days to review the evidence they have and determine whether more has not yet been turned over to them.

“The defense team has devoted, and will continue to devote, significant resources to processing discovery, including identifying materials not yet received to inform readiness for the preliminary hearing,” the court filing said. “However, the defense team is realistic and the comprehensive review required to determine what is missing will take hundreds of hours.”

When asked about the defense’s characterization of the ATF report, Christopher D. Ballard, a spokesperson for the Utah County Attorney’s Office, told USA TODAY ethical rules prohibit him from speaking publicly about forensic testing and test results.

“But I can say generally that when the results of a bullet fragment analysis come back as inconclusive, that means only that the fragment did not contain enough detail for the examiner to determine whether the characteristics on the fragment were consistent with having been fired by a particular firearm,” Ballard said.

Ballard confirmed the FBI and ATF are adding information to the initial reports, which prosecutors expect will include data supporting the initial conclusions. “As soon as the State receives those supplemental reports, we will provide them to the defense,” he said.

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray has said he will seek the death penalty for Robinson. Robinson is set to return to court April 17 for hearing on a defense motion to ban cameras from the courtroom.

Iranian armed forces targeted and destroyed strategic US radar systems and naval equipment across the region and occupied territories in the 92nd wave of Operation True Promise 4 in retaliation of US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

The Public Relations of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that its Navy and Aerospace Force, starting Friday morning in the 92nd wave of Operation True Promise 4, crushed the radar systems and naval equipment of American terrorists in the region and the occupied Palestinian territories with ballistic missiles and suicide drones in several combined attacks, the statement read.

Detailing the tactical successes, in the first part of this naval operation, the gathering place of American amphibious landing craft utility (LCU) vessels at the port of “Shuwaikh” was crushed using ballistic missiles, the statement noted.

Furthermore, the “AR-327” long-range three-dimensional early warning air radar deployed at the “Jabal Al Dukhan” radar site in Bahrain was struck and destroyed in another stage by a drone attack, based on the statement.

IRGC Aerospace at dawn on Friday, and in continuation of last night’s attacks, successfully fired two ballistic missiles, crushing the Ramat David airbase, host to Israeli F-16 fighter squadrons in southeast Haifa, the statement detailed.

In another part of the IRGC Aerospace offensive and missile operation, and in line with the fire-for-fire tactic and continuous firing, more than 50 points in the heart of Tel Aviv and the occupied territories were effectively targeted by firing Khorramshahr 4 multi-warhead missiles, the statement declared.

Iran’s retaliatory strikes have inflicted heavy losses on Washington and Tel Aviv and demonstrated the futility of their military posturing, the IRGC said, adding that targeted and comprehensive attacks in this wave are continuing, the statement added.

These retaliatory operations follow the criminal aggression launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28 by assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Seyyed Ali Khamenei along with senior military commanders. In the wake of these assassinations, the enemies have deliberately targeted Iran’s civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, killing hundreds of Iranian people.

Ever since the initial aggression, the people of Iran have taken to the streets to express their unwavering support for the country’s Armed forces, who have consistently targeted Israeli military and strategic sites as well as US military bases across the region with missiles and drones.

Iranian forces shot down two more advanced US fighter jets today, including a second F-35, despite US President Donald Trump’s claim of destroying Iran’s air defenses. 

In a statement on Friday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that its newly developed and advanced air defenses had shot down a stealth F-35 fighter jet in central Iran.

The downed aircraft belonged to the Lakenheath squadron, it said, adding that the fighter jet was completely destroyed and crashed.

Due to the complete disintegration of the aircraft, the fate of the pilot remains unknown, it noted.

Earlier on Friday, the IRGC announced that another advanced enemy fighter jet was targeted by air defense systems south of Qeshm Island.

The advanced aircraft subsequently crashed between Hengam and Qeshm islands, plummeting “into the depths of the ever-Persian Gulf.”

The downing was a direct rebuke to recent rhetoric from Washington. The IRGC noted that Donald Trump had previously claimed that US forces had destroyed Iran’s air defenses.

“Following the false claim of the liar US President regarding the complete destruction of the IRGC’s air defense, moments ago an advanced enemy fighter jet was hit in the south of Qeshm Island by the modern advanced air defense system of the IRGC Navy, under the control of the country’s integrated air defense network,” the IRGC statement read.

These interceptions adds to a growing list of staggering aviation losses for the US military. On March 11, the IRGC successfully hit a US Air Force F-35 stealth fighter jet in central Iran’s airspace.

While US media later confirmed that an F-35 made an emergency landing at a US airbase in West Asia due to what was believed to be Iranian fire, a subsequent report by NPR noted that the heavily damaged aircraft would not be able to resume operations anytime soon.

Furthermore, the US military has confirmed the loss of three US F-15s and one KC-135 tanker during the ongoing war. The Pentagon has continuously attempted to cover up these catastrophic losses, portraying the downings as “friendly fire” or “accidents.”

Recently, the US military even announced the fall of an F-35 in Nevada, an announcement that military experts widely view as a desperate cover story for the loss of stealth fighter jets in the war with Iran.

The President of the United States threatened in a nationally televised speech Wednesday night to “bomb Iran into the Stone Age,” taking out their civilian infrastructure, meaning their electricity grid, desalination plants, hospitals and other systems that directly impact human life.

Clarification: This would shut down human life in that part of the world. And when humans cannot survive in their homeland, they migrate to other parts of the world.

Iran has promised that if Trump makes such a move, they will respond in kind, striking similar targets hosted by U.S. allies in the Gulf, meaning the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. All of it will lie in ruins.

With escalating rhetoric like this, and no end in sight to this totally unnecessary war on Iran, the Persian Gulf is facing an existential water security threat, according to a report by The Cradle. Without water, no human life can survive.

This manufactured crisis, if it continues down the path Trump has set it on, will cause a humanitarian catastrophe unlike anything seen in modern history. And keep in mind that with such a catastrophe comes more Islamic refugees into the West where basically the same people supporting this war will then whine and complain about how Islam is “changing our culture” and “taking us over from within.”

According to the report by The Cradle attacking civilian infrastructure in Iran would be catastrophic due to the following facts:

Total dependence: The Arab Gulf states rely almost entirely on seawater desalination for survival, including Qatar and Bahrain which get 99% and 90% of their drinking water from the sea, respectively.

Huge infrastructure: There are 3,401 desalination plants in the region producing more than 22 million cubic meters of water daily, nearly one-third of global desalination output.

Energy vulnerability: About 75% of Gulf desalination plants rely on cogeneration, meaning water production is tied directly to electricity generation. Attacks on gas pipelines or power stations could shut down water output without touching the desalination units themselves.

Cyber risks: Modern desalination plants have complex digital control systems, making them vulnerable to cyber-attacks that could make water unfit to drink.

Environmental dangers: Potential oil spills, chemical leaks and attacks on nuclear or oil industry sites which force desalination plants to close. The Persian Gulf traps pollution, threatening marine life and raising water-treatment costs.

Legal ambiguity: While international law classifies water facilities as protected civilian infrastructure, the destruction of which constitutes a war crime, the U.S. and Israel claim they are legitimate targets under the pretext of “dual use.”

Trump says he doesn’t care if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed and he indicated in a leaked report to the Wall Street Journal that he is looking for an off ramp in which to withdraw the massive U.S. military presence in the Middle East. We can only hope this is accurate but if I was a betting man, I’d say it was deliberate misinformation that the U.S. government “leaked” to its notorious neocon water boys at the Wall Street Journal.

It was more of the same Wednesday night, with Trump bragging in one breath about how he has totally defeated the Iranians, then promising in the next breath to hit them again, only much harder, if they don’t accept his “deal” to end the war.

We can only hope that the vast majority of Americans see through this nonsensical and double-minded gibberish.

If Trump says he’s looking for a peace deal, we should assume that means the opposite will occur. That means more war. More deaths of both Americans and Iranians. More destruction. Only this time targeting civilians instead of military assets. These are his words, not mine. Listen to his speech. If he hits civilian infrastructure as he promised, we will see a flood of refugees that is impossible to even calculate. Imagine a country of 92 million people with no electricity and little to no water.

With who he has become, it would be just like Trump to escalate the war and order some sort of dramatic attack over Easter weekend. The symbolism is hard to miss. The president of the world’s largest “Christian” nation delivering a fatal blow to civilian infrastructure on the holiest day in Christianity. To a Muslim in Iran, America represents Christianity, whether we see ourselves that way or not. Trump is essentially saying to them: Happy Easter from the Christians! Welcome to the Stone Age!

Trump has twice used fake diplomacy to double-cross the Iranians, giving them hope that negotiations might produce a solution to the standoff, only to attack them when it looks like a deal has been reached.

Iran will not fall for Trump’s trickery, again.

But that won’t stop Trump from trying to manipulate the oil markets through his chicanery, talking about ending the war through non-existent peace talks while at the same time preparing for another major escalation.

Even the oil markets are starting to wise up. When Trump took to the podium for his Wednesday night speech, oil stood at about $100 a barrel. As soon as the speech ended, oil started rising, and it stands at $108 a barrel at 4 p.m. Thursday.

In a post to Truth Social before his Wednesday speech, Trump said the U.S. would soon be concluding its “lovely stay in Iran.” In follow-up comments, he suggested the U.S. could respond to Iranian actions “twenty times harder” with “Death, Fire, and Fury.”

I personally do not believe Trump will back off of Iran until the regime is gone and a U.S. puppet installed. This is a process that could take months or years, and the entire global economy will go into the tank, but they will in the end get what they want: a Western puppet whose style of governing is more in tune with the financial AI-powered control grid where everybody and everything is monitored 24/7 in real time.

Iran had its own system of controlling its citizens, so don’t think I am exonerating that regime or holding it up as righteous. But it operated outside of the Western NWO beast system that is being rapidly developed right under our noses. That cannot be allowed. Cuba, another nation that has been forced to learn how to exist outside the system, will also be brought to heel, along with a few other countries. It’s all part of bringing in the digital reset under a new one-world system and much smaller global population.

Those on the right who continue to believe that the United States is a force for good fighting against evil are in for a rude awakening. They will have all of their most ingrained assumptions about their country’s government shaken to their core, and because they have misjudged the character of the U.S. regime, they will be caught completely off guard when everything starts to be revealed for what it truly is. The unraveling will force them into robotic compliance with the new authority structure.

If we look at what Trump is doing and not what he is saying, it sure looks like he is gearing up for some type of major new military operation, whether that be a ground assault on Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf or some other big surprise involving perhaps a new secret weapon.

Here’s the bottom line: Trump has become the poster child for the illegitimate use of military force. When have you ever heard a U.S. president use threatening words like, “I’ll bomb you back to the Stone Age”?

Trump is openly talking about taking away, destroying, everything that sustains life in a 5,000-year-old civilization of nearly 100 million people. How can this possibly play to the benefit of the United States or the world?

And we say the Iranians are evil terrorists? The Russians and Chinese are evil? When have any of those countries’ top leaders made any threats approaching this level of destruction?

This type of bullying from an ignorant and bombastic president suits the globalists’ purpose in destroying America as it rachets up hatred for America around the world, speeding up dedollarization and cooperation among nations that would like to get out from under the American yoke. It also facilitates anti-Christian and anti-Jewish sentiment.

After energy supplies dry up, food shortages will be next.

“We’re staring at global famine now,” said Col. Douglas MacGregor in an April 2 interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano. “We could not bring Serbia to its knees after 78 days of relentless airstrikes…What he’s saying (to Iran) is we are going to hit anything and everything we can if you don’t submit to us.” (See entire interview below)

Trump ran on a platform of peace and prosperity. He’s bringing worldwide destruction and economic misery.

Everything he said about Iran in his April 1 speech could be applied to our own nation over the last couple of decades, certainly since the 2003 Iraq war. The U.S.-Israeli tag team has become a global death cult. Get in its way, and they will bomb you into the Stone Age, kill your school children, destroy your water, electrical and hospital system.

Our politicians have sold us out to foreign interests. Trump was supposed to be different. He’s failed us on every front. And now he’s sunk to a new low, even for him.

He used a prime-time address to the nation to try to sell us on an unpopular and immoral foreign war.

What I saw on that podium was a babbling, blood-lusting, vain fool—the alter ego of Lindsey Graham and other cartoonish politicians sold out to the military-industrial complex. What did you see?

Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it.

U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, appears to be engaged in what a defense official called a “casualty cover-up,” offering The Intercept low-ball and outdated figures and failing to provide clarifications on military deaths and injuries.

At least 15 U.S. troops were wounded Friday in an Iranian attack on a Saudi air base that hosts American troops, according to two government officials who spoke with The Intercept. Hundreds of U.S. personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the U.S. launched a war on Iran just over a month ago.

President Donald Trump — who wore a blue suit, red tie, and a ball cap to the dignified transfer of the first Americans killed in the war — said casualties were inevitable. “When you have conflicts like this, you always have death,” he said afterward. “I met the parents and they were unbelievable people. They were unbelievable people, but they all had one thing in common. They said to me, one thing, every single one: Finish the job, sir. Please finish the job.”

On Tuesday, Trump teased that he would wind down the war with Iran in as little as two weeks despite not achieving many of his stated aims, such as “freedom for the people” of Iran, “tak[ing] the oil in Iran,” and forcing Iran’s “unconditional surrender.” At one point, the president even declared that the war would last “as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!

CENTCOM has sent outdated statements on casualty numbers, meanwhile, resulting in undercounts, including a statement sent Monday from spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins noting that “Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 303 U.S. service members have been wounded.” The comment was three days old and excluded at least 15 wounded in the Friday attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The command did not reply to repeated requests for updated figures.

CENTCOM also would not provide a count of troops who have died in the region since the start of the war. An Intercept analysis puts the number at no less than 15.

“This is, quite obviously, a subject that [War Secretary Pete] Hegseth and the White House want to keep under major wraps,” said the defense official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak frankly.

In 2024, during the Biden administration, the Pentagon provided The Intercept with detailed chronologies of attacks on U.S. bases in the Middle East that listed the specific outpost that was attacked, the type of strike, and whether — or how many — casualties resulted, along with an aggregate count of attacks by country.

The Trump administration’s numbers, by comparison, lack detail and clarity. The current CENTCOM casualty figures do not appear to include more than 200 sailors treated for smoke inhalation or otherwise injured due to a fire that raged aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford before it limped off to Souda Bay, Greece, for repairs. CENTCOM did not reply to close to a dozen requests for clarification on the casualty count and related information sent this week.

“CENTCOM and the White House should be providing accurate and timely information on the costs and casualties involved in this war. After all, it is American taxpayers who are funding it and U.S. economic prosperity and economic wellbeing that is being undermined by it,” Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at Defense Priorities, a think tank that advocates for measured U.S. foreign policy, told The Intercept.

As the U.S. has relentlessly bombed Iran, that country has responded with attacks on U.S. bases across the Middle East using ballistic missiles and drones. CENTCOM refuses to even offer a simple count of U.S. bases that have been attacked during the war. “We have nothing for you,” a spokesperson told The Intercept. An analysis by The Intercept, however, finds that bases in Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates have been targeted.

On Tuesday, Hegseth said that Iran retained the ability to retaliate for U.S. strikes but that their attacks would be ineffectual. “Yes, they will still shoot some missiles,” he said, “but we will shoot them down.” On Wednesday morning, officials in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar all reported missile or drone attacks from Iran.

Iranian strikes have forced U.S. troops to retreat from their bases to hotels and office buildings across the region, according to the two government officials. The defense official was livid about the Pentagon’s failure to adequately harden the bases and ridiculed Hegseth’s Tuesday prayer at a Pentagon press conference. “May god watch over all of them, each day and each night. May his almighty and eternal arms of providence stretch over them and protect them,” said Hegseth.

“Why didn’t Hegseth protect them?” the defense official asked. “Anyone with a brain knew these attacks were coming.”

Pentagon spokesperson Kingsley Wilson did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Retired Gen. Joseph Votel, a former head of Central Command, recalled that U.S. troops in the region have faced drone attacks for at least a decade. “At that time we identified a need to protect against this threat, and it has taken far too long for the DoD to respond and provide adequate protection for our deployed troops,” he told The Intercept, referencing drone attacks during the campaign against ISIS in the spring of 2016. “It was a known expectation that, if attacked, Iran would retaliate against our bases, installations, and forces, and I agree that we should have anticipated and been prepared for this inevitability.”

Kavanagh, who previously called attention to the vulnerability of U.S. outposts in the Middle East, echoed Votel. “It has been clear for years that the rapid proliferation of drones and cheap missiles would put U.S. bases and U.S. early detection radars in the region at risk, yet the Pentagon did little to protect them,” she said. “The failure to invest in hardened infrastructure was a choice. Congress should see this failure as evidence that simply giving the Pentagon more money is not a path to national security.”

“We would be better off if bases across the region were closed for good,” she added.

In public statements, Iran’s foreign minister Sayed Abbas Araghchi called out the U.S. for using civilians in nearby Arab monarchies of the Gulf Cooperative Council states as human shields. “U.S. soldiers fled military bases in GCC to hide in hotels and offices,” he wrote on X last week. “Hotels in U.S. deny bookings to officers who may endanger customers. GCC hotels should do same.”

Votel also expressed concern about troops using hotels and offices, noting it “could turn normal civilian infrastructure into military targets for the regime.”

Last month, an Iranian drone strike on a hotel in Bahrain wounded two War Department employees, according to a State Department cable reviewed by the Washington Post. CENTCOM did not respond to a request to confirm to The Intercept that those injuries stem from a March 2 attack on the Crowne Plaza hotel, a luxury property in Manama, Bahrain’s capital, but one official indicated this was likely.

Votel said that a failure to provide troops with adequate protection may handcuff U.S. operations. “I think this really complicates command and control and could affect unit cohesion and effectiveness,” he told The Intercept, referring to the transfer of troops to hotels and office buildings. “That said, we may not have many options if we cannot protect the military bases where they would normally be bedded down.”

At least 15 U.S. troops in the Middle East have died since the beginning of the Iran War, including six personnel who were killed in a drone strike on Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, and a soldier who died due to an “enemy attack on March 1, 2026, at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia.” More than 520 U.S. personnel have also been injured, including those who suffered smoke inhalation on the Ford.

Prior to the current war with Iran, U.S. bases in the Middle East were increasingly targeted by a mix of one-way attack drones, rockets, mortars, and close-range ballistic missiles after Israel’s war in Gaza began in October 2023, most of the attacks occurring in the year following the outset of the conflict. At least 175 troops were killed or wounded in those attacks, including three service members who died in a January 2024 strike on Tower 22, a facility in Jordan. Other attacks targeted al-Asad Air Base, the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, Camp Victory, Union III, Erbil Air Base, and Bashur Air Base in Iraq and Al-Tanf garrison, Deir ez-Zor Air Base, Mission Support Site Euphrates, Mission Support Site Green Village, Patrol Base Shaddadi, Rumalyn Landing Zone, Tell Baydar, and Tal Tamir in Syria.

The casualty statistics do not include contractors, most of them foreigners who suffered non-combat injuries. Official U.S. statistics show that there were almost 12,900 cases of injuries to contractors in the CENTCOM area of operations during 2024 alone. More than 3,700 were the most serious non-fatal injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, requiring more than seven days away from work. Eighteen contractors were also killed, all of them in Iraq. The numbers are likely significant undercounts, but if even the fractional number of known contractor injuries is added to the tally, the casualty count for Americans and those on U.S. bases may top 13,600

Iran’s missile production at key strategic bases is proceeding with notable consistency, according to a report.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported that production capacity at strategic sites is steadily increasing, alongside the continued deployment of ballistic missile launchers.

According to the report, the “Etemad” missile is an upgraded version of the “Emad,” with improvements derived from operational experience gained during the “True Promise” missions.

The report also highlighted significant advancements in guidance systems, designed to evade missile defense networks.

It pointed to footage from Tuesday night’s aerospace operation by the IRGC, which showed a missile successfully passing through three interceptor missiles and striking its target with precision.

The reporter emphasized that accumulated experience and innovative thinking within the armed forces are driving the continued growth of the country’s missile capabilities.

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war on Iran, assassinating former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as well as several top military commanders.

Iran’s response has been decisive and strong. The Iranian Armed Forces have been engaged in daily waves of missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.

South African troops have deployed to gang-ridden townships in Cape Town, as fresh violence claimed two lives nearly 50 days after the government ordered military support.

Soldiers in full combat gear rolled into areas including Mitchells Plain in armoured vehicles, reinforcing police efforts to curb escalating gang activity in the Cape Flats.

The deployment comes as two men, aged 25 and 33, were shot dead in an early morning attack in nearby Hanover Park. In a separate incident hours earlier, a 27-year old man was wounded in Mitchells Plain.

Residents say the violence remains relentless. “I am afraid for my children,” said a 65-year-old grandmother, who fears her home is being used by gangs for surveillance. “All night, I don’t sleep.”

Another resident, 69-year-old Malvin Gordan, said shootings occur at all hours, including when children are commuting to school. Still, he described the arrival of soldiers as a deterrent, noting that their “presence alone” has forced gang members to retreat.

The Cape Flats has long been a hotspot for violent crime, with turf wars between rival gangs fuelling frequent killings. In August last year, the area recorded one of its deadliest weeks, with 59 murders in just seven days.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the military deployment in February, citing crime as one of the country’s most pressing challenges. South Africa has one of the highest homicide rates globally outside active war zones, averaging around 60 killings per day.

The operation, codenamed “Operation Prosper,” will run for a year and spans five provinces, including Gauteng, home to Johannesburg. More than 2,200 soldiers have been mobilised to support police in tackling violent crime and illegal mining.

The country has repeatedly turned to the military during periods of unrest, including enforcing COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 and responding to the 2021 riots following the imprisonment of former president Jacob Zuma.

Troops were also deployed in 2019 to assist police in the Cape Flats, underscoring the persistent challenge of gang violence in the region.

Some stories require rereading. 

In 1989, a courageous young woman exposed the satanic Jewish forebears of the Illuminati cult that now dominates the world. 

They are Sabbatean Frankists who hate assimilated Jews as much as goyim. Respected members of the community by day, they sacrifice babies at night.

The Epstein Files provide new perspective to these revelations.

In 2016, I wrote “We are sleepwalking to catastrophe. Donald Trump is part of this death cult. So is Communism & Freemasonry. We are all its mental prisoners.

Jewish Insider Described Child Sacrifice from March 16, 2023 and earlier

by Henry Makow PhD.

On May 1, 1989, a “nice Jewish girl”, age 29, Vicki Polin appeared on the Oprah Show and said her family was part of a satanic cult that dates back to the 1700s.

Although they appear to be upstanding citizens — lawyers, doctors, police officers etc. — they engage in Satanic ritual human sacrifice, incest and cannibalism, often in synagogues. They drink blood and eat babies.

She is describing the Illuminati which originated in the Frankist Movement in the Eighteenth Century. Jacob Frank, born Jacob Leibowitz (1726-1791) led a major Satanic heresy that shook the Jewish world. They believed that the Messiah would return if the world went over to evil completely. Thus they encouraged all sexual license and satanic evil as the ultimate good.

Financed by the Frankist Rothschild banking syndicate, they subverted other Jews and the goyim by assuming every religious and political hue. They took over Freemasonry and are now in the final stage of establishing their world government, a.k.a “globalization.”

The incest abuse Polin suffered is a textbook example of how Illuminati families –Jews and non-Jews– treat their children. George W. Bush and Barack Obama may have suffered similar trauma and, (like Polin) have multiple personality disorder. Vicki is from Chicago and there is no telling how many Chicagoans surrounding Barack Obama are part of this satanic cult. Think Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett.

THE OPRAH INTERVIEW

Continues … 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ousted the highest-ranking US Army officer amid the Iran war.

General Randy George, a Biden appointee, was told to step down and take immediate retirement, CBS News reported.

A Pentagon official said: ‘We are grateful for his service, but it was time for a leadership change in the Army.’

George is understood to have clashed with the administration’s vision for the Army.

Vice Chief of Staff General Christopher LaNeve, a former aide to Hegseth, will be acting chief of staff.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that LaNeve is ‘a battle-tested leader with decades of operational experience and is completely trusted by Secretary Hegseth to carry out the vision of this administration without fault.’

Hegseth’s decision comes as 50,000 US troops are deployed in the Middle East ahead of a possible ground invasion in Iran.

George is the senior-most uniformed officer in the Army – a four-star general and the 41st Chief of Staff responsible for organizing, training and equipping more than one million soldiers, though not a field commander directing tactical strikes.

George reports to General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, the civilian head of the branch; and Hegseth, whose highest military rank was as an Army major.

George was confirmed by the Senate in 2023 and is significantly short of completing the typical four-year term.

Hegseth has purged more than a dozen senior officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the Air Force Vice Chief of Staff General James Slife and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse.

God Poet Transmitting…….

For years now, we have talked about The Purpose of Demonstration. It is what the manifest plane is all about. It started out, originally, in The Mind of God. Once we were here and got going, it began to happen in our minds, and it processed through two more planes until whatever was being thought about came into material form. God was still in play because there is no play unless God is involved, and there is an eternal dynamic that goes on between creation and the Creator.

Trends and Patterns come and go, while dramas take place, for The Purpose of Demonstration. God is always telling a story through the mediums he creates to express whatever he has to say, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in God, or never think about God; I mean, it does matter greatly in terms of what happens to you, during any particular appearance that you put in here, BUT… for The Purpose of Demonstration, your belief or lack of it only determines your place in the action. It doesn’t set the tone or the terms overall.

If you are smart enough to seek out The Almighty as the main component in everything you think, say, and do, all will go well for you. There might be some hard highway, depending on the sculpting that is necessary to prepare you for your close-up, BUT… that smooths out, and can stay beautifully smooth forever, and ever… if you stay in alignment.

We have now come to The Moment of archetypal incandescence, and that is why all of the evil players are being revealed and identified. Some of them are bit players, and some of them are major villains. It doesn’t matter overall because they have nothing to say about the outcome unless they catch on to the course they are on, and make a wise decision before the possibility of positive change is no longer possible.

When I say evil, most people have no concept of how really evil some people can be, or how long they have been… on the road they are on… that has brought them to The Moment. It’s going to be quite a production, my friends. Hopefully, you have chosen to be in alignment.

The bad guys…. the major players who are all in a state of possession by demonic forces and ranking malefics from The Dark Side…. have amassed various pedestrian powers, and large material fortunes. They’ve cut deals with The Devil himself, hoping to evade what they only have a dim awareness of. They are fools. God, through the variety of his step-down transformers, has spoken to me about what is coming, not in great detail, but enough for me to know that the high and mighty are in for some REALLY BIG surprises.

One of the big surprises that those most affected never catch on to is that God works from the inside out. Of course, he can work in the other direction too, BUT when you are dealing with Evil, it is best to be where Evil cannot defend itself against the reformation of its offenses against Nature.

Why does Materialism make people crazy? It makes you crazy because a distance is created between yourself… and your awareness… to the extent that you lose self-awareness because your attention is all outward and results in cognitive dissonance. It will inevitably result in a schizophrenic schism. AI tells me I can’t use that term, and its explanation for that is nonsense because I do mean a split between contradictory personalities.

All wars begin within ourselves, and it is afterwards that an external target is identified. Whenever Evil begins to manifest in a person’s consciousness… it signals a departure from their real being… into a false being… with… progressively… fewer and fewer inhibitors… to control their actions… until one of the inflexible laws of existence puts them into lockdown.

The universe is arranged according to laws and rules that are activated as soon as they are violated. It’s why Evil never wins, AND why Evil always destroys itself if it persists. It’s a no-win situation, but it does entertain The Creator, which is what existence is all about. When I speak of entertainment, I am referring to a very wide spectrum.

When The World is about to be transformed… in a major way… a system of checks and balances (that was already present) is set in motion to counter the old ways of doing things, and to replace them with the new way of doing things. It’s why the archetypes are refurbished, appearance-wise, in every age.

They are still the same archetypes, but they now reflect a new way of thinking, SO… just as when the poisons in your body are forced to the level of your skin, the evildoers are exposed to the eyes of The World, and the sheer force of The World’s focus on them removes all of their power to harm. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it happens in an inexorable fashion.

The World looks all screwed up at the moment. This is because most things, and most people, are out of balance, so material appearances reflect this, AND that is why the system of checks and balances is put into action to restore harmony to the people and things that were formerly out of whack.

Our main villains have become famous, and not by accident. They are in the public view every day. The World is being made familiar with them, AND… in stages, they are all going to be brought to justice in precise and fitting ways. It’s going to hit them where it hurts, and then a healing process is set in motion that… often takes lifetimes, BUT nonetheless, it is inexorable too. When you are a larger-than-life bombastic clown, it will… literally… hit you where you live.

Thousands of rich and entitled, you can’t touch me types, have been forced into the open from the seemingly protected spaces they paid all that money to hide in. Similar things are going to happen to all those bunkers that despicable characters have created for themselves.

An entire Ukrainian brigade just surrendered to the Russians. Taiwan is having China in for tea, and is both demurely and salaciously playing with its tea cozy while it makes bedroom eyes at the mainland. President Trumpleforeskinstein is losing his shit big time, and The Legend of The Mad and Senile Old King is the talk of the industry as this year’s… sure thing… hot film, and a shoo-in for the awards. The Legend is based on a book that hasn’t been written yet, and it is already a bestseller!

In a few short weeks, the whole world has changed. Europe is sending its migrants back to their own shores, in defiance of The Talmudic Agenda that sent them there in the first place. Here… clearly… one can see that The Hand of God has broken the back of The Synagogue of Satan. Nothing trumpeted the supremacy of The Will of The Chosen as much as The World being flooded by the sodden refuse of Third World prison systems. Now… it’s over. God is real! GOD IS REAL!!!

AND! AND!!! BADA BING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My understanding of The World to come in this new… emergent age, is that several conditions are slated to appear and predominate over the mass consciousness of this coming time. One if them is that Religion and Science will begin to meet on common ground, and Brotherhood will be the natural progression of this union. It is one of the reasons that the self-centered… self-driven… self-chosen nation of israel is being destroyed along with the ambition and motivations that brought it into being, for… The… Purpose… of… Demonstration.

For the moment though, testimonials to man’s pathetic arrogance and vain ambition continue to go up in the form of AI data centers… that will suck the water and power from humanity… as if some alien race from a Tom Cruise movie were in charge, and wars dedicated to creating suffering and want… right on the doorstep of a Golden Age… seems to… temporarily… be the daily fare, and… THEY… don’t care cause they’re making bank and their temporary world is rolling along, right… into… The… Abyss! Please pass the salt.

In a very general sense, one could say that Bad is outer and Good is inner, mostly because of the trend toward false identification… due to our not knowing what we are looking at, or why it is there. We are given The Power of The Creator, and then? By trial and error, we are compelled to learn how to use it, which results in many tragic and sometimes amusing results.

At certain intervals, portals appear and open into new states of consciousness, AND… if you are conscious enough to see them, you can walk right through, or right in, as you prefer. You will still be here… after a fashion… BUT you will now see everything in a different light, and that is what consciousness and the stages of consciousness are all about… seeing things (and each other) in a new light. You know… I don’t think I ever really noticed before, but… you are quite beautiful! Things like that.

So, one person in one state of consciousness can experience an entirely different sense of what composes and surrounds them than someone sitting right next to them… on a train… or in a restaurant. Consciousness is power, and it most certainly determines the state of your being. What is it that you are thinking, feeling, and doing? That defines your state of being.

God is a comprehensive state of awareness that… in its most pervasive emanation… expresses as love. This is how you get close to God. You love. The more you love, the closer you are, and…

…One Last Thing……. (I am posting this as an example of the power of prayer, and also because MANY people around The World are praying for this, including the millions of victims in other locations, or since returned here, and because God answers prayer, which is why we have said again and again here that when apocalypse exposes the truth of circumstances to the mortal eye, it generates a mass expression of thought from the collective mindset, AND THAT balances the scales.

My ONLY position on this is, God’s Will Be Done, because I know that one should be careful what they wish for. I am simply pointing out that this is an emergent trend!)

End Transmission…….

A couple of weeks ago, I recommended that you read this relatively brief commentary on a soul traveling in spiritual lands. I have since finished it, and some parts of it are truly profound and inspiring. You will not be the poorer for the experience of reading and contemplating it. Here and there, I saw one or two things that did not align with what Ageless Wisdom has taught me, BUT… then again… I don’t know.

Now I have moved on to the next episode, in the course of my never-ending education, concerning the presence and absence of form. This seems to be also well worth the time invested, though I am only at the beginning of it.

Warning: Big spoilers ahead!

The Academy loves to give Oscars to movies that cater to the elite’s obsessions. For instance, Emma Stone won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Poor Things, a deeply unsettling movie that involves a form of pedophilia and other degenerate things.

This year, the winner of the Best Actress category went to Amy Madigan for her role in Weapons. Indeed, the Academy loved watching her play an evil witch who uses witchcraft to abduct children … to extract something from them. It’s like a baseball player watching a movie about baseball. They relate to that stuff.

The movie’s main promotional image depicts mind-controlled children running towards their witch handler to be exploited. The Academy loved that.

But there is more to this movie than a weird old lady doing witchcraft. It is a metaphor for the occult elite’s control over society. And, in a relatively veiled manner, the movie depicts the “farming” of children and their exploitation for youth-preserving purposes. Indeed, although not spelled out in the movie, the witch’s core motivation revolves around the extraction of blood (or maybe adrenochrome) from children to be extracted in her old, decrepit body. Hollywood loves this theme. The movie The Substance is also based on this concept. And it also won Oscars.

In other words, the elite loves to expose its nefarious activities through “entertainment.” And then, it loves to give trophies to this “entertainment.” Did Weapons truly deserve its recognition? That is rather subjective. However, when one understands the concepts and the symbolism in the movie, one realizes that it is actually a celebration of the elite’s most disgusting activities.

Here’s a look at the movie.

The wreckage of a U.S. E-3 after being hit on the ground by an Iranian drone

In a fresh wave of retaliatory airstrikes, Iran’s Army targeted US AWACS and refueling aircraft stationed at Tel Aviv airport, along with its radar and electronic warfare sites in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

In a statement on Wednesday, the Army said the attacks came in response to the brutal air assaults by “the Zionist regime and the criminal United States” against the country, which continue to target residential and civilian areas.

“Since dawn today,” it said, the Armed Forces have “targeted with drone strikes the US AWACS and refueling aircraft stationed at Ben Gurion Airport, as well as radar sites for detecting and tracking missiles and combat drones, and electronic warfare sites used to counter combat drones in the UAE.”

According to the statement, powerful Arash-2 drones with a flight range of 2,000 kilometers were used in this wave of attacks.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army reiterated that the Armed Forces will stand firm to the very end to make the aggressors regret the innocent blood they have shed across the country.

Since the US and Israel launched their joint military aggression against Iran on February 28, the Army has continued its drone attacks on US bases in the region and military sites in the occupied territories.

According to reports and satellite imagery, the sites have sustained serious damage.

More than one month into the unprovoked war on the country, Iran’s retaliatory strikes on US bases across the region have caused an estimated $800 million in damages.

Notable among these strikes is the damage to a pivotal US Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane during the March 27 missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

According to Air & Space Forces Magazine, this specific attack also injured more than 10 service members and damaged several aerial refueling tankers.

Military analysts describe the loss of these “flying radars” as a “big deal” that has significantly crippled Washington’s ability to manage the battlespace in the Persian Gulf.

Beyond the AWACS and tankers, Iran’s attacks have damaged or destroyed radar systems, a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system, and Reaper drones in attacks on US bases in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait.
