Musk wants control of Low Earth Orbit (LEO)

Musk has asked the US government (FCC) to give him permission to put one million satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

This would benefit the US warmongers as control of LEO would give them the ability to surveil and target every spot on the planet.

It's like a land grab - except in space.

China and Russia won't be happy with this arrogant plan.

Learning about Iran

Iran Has a Government, Not a “Regime”

In discussions of Iran, the word “regime” is almost always used by U.S. officials, media outlets, and in everyday conversation—a word that implies illegitimacy or dictatorship. Calling Iran a regime makes it easier to present U.S. military involvement as justified—and easier for people to go along with it. That framing is inaccurate and intentionally misleading, and obscures an important reality: Iran functions as a government with institutions, systems, and a society of about 90 million people.

Iran Holds Elections and Has a Constitution

    Iran holds national elections on a regular cycle: presidential elections every 4 years and parliamentary elections every 4 years.

•     The Parliament (Majles) has 290 elected members, representing districts across the country.
•     Iran has dozens of political groupings and parties, generally organized into coalitions.
•     Presidential elections typically feature about 4–6 candidates on the final ballot.
•     Voter participation ranges from ~50% to over 80%, compared to ~60–66% in recent U.S. elections.
•     Iran has a written constitution adopted in 1979 and amended in 1989.
•     National referendums are provided for and have been used, including in 1979.
•     Iran has a judiciary headed by a chief justice and a Supreme Court with multiple judges.

    Unlike the U.S., Iran does not have a large, institutionalized system of corporate lobbying or PAC-driven campaign financing.

Healthcare System

•     Iran has a government-supported healthcare system with over 90% of the population insured.
•     Healthcare costs are a fraction of those in the U.S. (hundreds per person vs. $13,000+), though patients pay a portion out-of-pocket.

Education System

•     Iran has a nationwide public education system with literacy rates above 85–90%, including near-universal literacy among younger generations.
•     Education is free and compulsory through primary and lower secondary school, with broad access across the country.
•     Iran also has an extensive university system with millions of students enrolled, and a rapidly expanding educated population—while a smaller share of adults hold college degrees than in the United States, access to higher education has grown significantly in recent decades.
•     University education in Iran is heavily subsidized, with many students paying little or no tuition and minimal debt, while in the U.S. graduates typically carry around $30,000 in student loan debt.
•     Women make up about 60% of university students.

Public Services and Infrastructure 

•     Iran maintains nationwide infrastructure including roads, transportation, electricity, water, and telecommunications.
•     The government provides subsidies for fuel, electricity, and basic goods.
•     Social programs support retirees, lower-income families, and vulnerable populations.

A Society of 90 Million Human Beings 

•     The country is ethnically diverse: ~60% Persian, with large Azeri, Kurdish, Arab, and Baloch populations.
•     About 99% of the population is Muslim, primarily Shia (90–95%).
•     Iran has more than twice the population of California and about four times its land area.
•     It is a country with the scale, complexity, and institutions of a modern state—not simply a label.

It would be more accurate to apply the term “regime” to many U.S. allies in the region, including countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Jordan—many of which are monarchies without national elections.

the funnies

Ukraine has become a terrorist state like ISIS in Syria. Zman works for the zionists and the EU led nazis, many from families that were with Hitler during WW2. He's now a hired gun by Mr. Big. Zman's next job is help protect Israel by cozying up to Saudi Arabia and joining the hammer Iran coalition. (Part of the new 'World Board of Piss' plan to grab the whole world if we let them.)

Trump getting set for the ground invasion

 

They Lost the Air War. Now They Want the Ground War.

The Islander

The Pentagon has made detailed preparations for deploying US ground forces into Iran. Senior military commanders have submitted specific requests. Calling for the 82nd Airborne Division, Global Response Force, and Marine Expeditionary Units. Planning includes "where to detain Iranian soldiers if boots hit the ground."

Trump said “I’m not putting troops anywhere” then immediately added “If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.” 

So let's talk geography. Iran is 1,648,000 square kilometers. It is roughly five times the size of Iraq, the country that broke the American military for twenty years, cost $2 trillion, and ended today with NATO's entire contingency forces evacuating. Iran has a population of 90 million, a mountain range that runs the entire length of its western border... the Zagros rising to 4,000 metres, a second range across the north — the Alborz and a central plateau ringed by desert. The terrain was specifically designed by geography to destroy conventional land invasions. Ask every empire that tried.

The US has already spent roughly $2 billion per day on this war. Hegseth and Trump are begging Congress for another $200 billion in emergency funding. The administration previously floated a worse case 4-6 week timeline. Wave 80 from Iran, the Strait is still locked to the West. The USS Ford is in Crete with a "laundry fire" as pretext for retreating to safe waters. And they’re now planning a ground invasion of the largest, most mountainous, most heavily armed nation in the Middle East.

Vietnam was 331,000 square kilometers and no nuclear neighbours. Afghanistan was 652,000 and they lost after 19 years and 4 trillion dollars. Iraq was 438,000 and it never ended. Iran is 1.6 million with Russia to the north, China as its primary trading partner, and a population that just watched America bomb their schools and hospitals for three weeks.

But sure....The 82nd Airborne. That’ll do it.

“No, I’m not putting troops anywhere.” Right, Donald. Very strongly said. Tremendous denial. The best denial. Nobody denies like this president… Nobody.​​​​​​​​​​​​ 

America's #1 lie: 'Free elections in the USA!'

 

She spells it out quite clearly and with the appropriate level of rage....

Iran well dug in

• Part of Iran's missile complex lies beneath a granite mountain in Yazd, at a depth of approximately 500 meters. The most powerful bunker-buster bomb in the US, the GBU-57 MOP, can penetrate more than 60 meters of concrete, but this site is located at a depth of about 440 meters. The complex contains several tunnel entrances on different sides of the mountain and an internal railway system. The rock is approximately 300 million years old and significantly stronger than reinforced concrete. 
• Gas in Phoenix, Arizona now at $6.49 a gallon.
• More than 600 schools across Iran have been destroyed or damaged, resulting in the death or injury of more than 1,000 students and teachers. The aggressors, who arrogantly shout "no mercy, no respite" and threaten Iran with attacks on vital infrastructure, have targeted hospitals, ambulances, medical personnel, Red Crescent relief workers, oil refineries, water sources, and residential areas. 
• The arguments for a ground attack on Iran are becoming increasingly absurd. US Vice President J.D. Vance claims that Iran was planning to use 'nuclear suicide belts' and kill tens of thousands of people, and therefore, it should be attacked.
• Meanwhile, over a million Iranian citizens have been mobilized in anticipation of a US ground operation Operation Mehr. According to information published in numerous foreign newspapers, citing several members of Congress, an attack on Iran may occur in the near future.
