"There's Uranium on the Old Homestead..." (if it exists these folks have a better chance of finding the elusive HEU in Iran!)


MA AND PA KETTLE BACK ON THE FARM (1951).
The Kettles leave their ultra-modern home and return to the country looking for uranium; Ma and Mrs. Parker, Tom's mother-in-law, fight over whether their grandchild will be raised "hygienically".


March 17, 1953: the US conducted Operation Doorstep—a civil defense exercise involving the construction and destruction of “Doom Town” at the Nevada Proving Ground—in conjunction with shot Annie, a 16-kiloton nuclear device detonated atop a 300-foot tower to determine the effect on 50 automobiles, 2 wood-frame houses, 8 backyard bomb shelters, and a good number of mannequins.


To allay public fears about nuclear war, 20 reporters were invited to witness the explosion from News Nob, about 6.8 miles away. This test was broadcast live on television shortly after 5:00am local time (although the signal was temporarily disrupted at the moment of detonation).

Never forget the brave Vegas J.C. Penney mannequins who sacrificed themselves for Operation Doorstep.




The USGOV has been in the overthrowing business a long time and this was back when regime change ops were covert.

March 17, 1960: Secret U.S. plan to overthrow Fidel Castro regime in Cuba was approved by President Eisenhower.


The plan outlined four major courses of action:

- Propaganda offensive: Create a powerful radio station to broadcast anti-Castro messages to the Cuban people.
- Covert intelligence network: Establish an intelligence and action organization within Cuba responsive to an exile opposition.
- Paramilitary forces development: Train and arm a force of Cuban exiles in secure locations outside the U.S. (specifically Guatemala and Nicaragua).
- Logistical support: Acquire the necessary logistical support for covert military operations on the island.

The CIA organized an operation in which it trained and funded a force of exiled counter-revolutionary Cubans serving as the armed wing of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, known as Brigade 2506.

Today's conspiracy grifters will never vibrate at this high of a frequency:




We just do not get this kind of stuff anymore:

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know."
― Donald Rumsfeld



Whatever its purpose, I never thought that this line was some kind of ridiculous word salad. It’s a helluva formulation.

In March 2003, next to footage of the US bombing Iraq, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said on Live TV that the footage was a kind of postmodern, subjective non-truth that was "not taking place." I don't think the Trump administration have anyone who can operate on this level:

"And what we are seeing is not the war in Iraq. What we're seeing are slices of the war in Iraq. We're seeing that particularized perspective that that reporter or that commentator or that television camera happens to be able to see at that moment. And it is not what's taking place.

What you see is taking place, to be sure, but it is one slice, and it is the totality of that that is what this war is about and being made up of.

And I doubt that in a conflict of this type there's ever been the degree of free press coverage as you are witnessing in this instance."
― Donald Rumsfeld, Pentagon Briefing, Aired March 21, 2003.

I guess today they don't need to operate on this level, they just need Trump to tweet 'Iran nukes - NO GOOD!' and it will make the rounds and be objective truth for 30% of the country within a day.


SecWar Hegseth will never live up to Rumsfeld's quibs and one-liners.

The Pentagon and defense think tanks have been wargaming the Strait of Hormuz since the Ronald Reagan days. Many plans & option scenarios but today's decision makers decided to go with plan, Alpha Mike Foxtrot which read across the top in bold red letters: NEVER ATTEMPT NOW OR IN THE FUTURE! This only works in the movies.

Today we have a two-front war: Iran and the Pentagon's war on the press to dominate the war narrative no matter what it takes. McNamara to Rumsfeld to Hegseth is like a perfect synecdoche for American decline. Just my 2cents.

Netanyahu: "In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny.

Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives on the ground, in the crossroads, in the city squares.


This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate the festival of fire.

So celebrate, and happy Nowruz. We're watching from above."


Boom! Iranian state media confirms that Israel has killed Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani. Also, Major General Gholamreza Soleimani, head of Iran’s Basij force, was killed in an airstrike.


“With these martyrdoms, the revolution becomes stronger. Kill us, our nation becomes more awake” – Ali Larijani


Collecting some opinions/analysis from non-western types on Why did Israel target Ali Larijani:

More regime change, even as the war against Iran escalates beyond control. When a war goes wrong, shift the focus by starting another war.
