Palestinian Statehood: Bargaining Chip to Extort Concessions from Trump

Of all duplicitous politicians in the world, French Bonapartist Macron does not earnestly intend to recognize Palestinian statehood. He has given September deadline simply because he is using Palestinian statehood as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Trump admin.

After judging him to be an incorrigible sycophant, Mr. Trump has repeatedly insulted Macron, even calling him a publicity-hungry lickspittle following G7 summit after Macron broke fake news of imminent ceasefire during Iran-Israel standoff.

In addition, Trump has been pressuring Macron to stop the witch-hunt against the most popular conservative leader of France Marine Le Pen and let her contest elections. Therefore, the slick Frenchman is cunningly playing the Palestinian statehood card to shun Trump admin from endorsing his political nemesis.

Macron isn’t the only conman using the unfolding tragedy in Palestine for political ends. Ramaphosa gov’t of South Africa instituted the Gaza genocide case against Israel in ICJ in December 2023 as electoral gimmick because elections were due in May 2024 in which ruling African National Congress was predicted in opinion polls to lose its majority, though despite losing popularity, it eventually managed to form a coalition gov’t.

Similarly, President of ICJ Nawaf Salam, who pronounced the vague judgment that it was plausible that Israel's actions in Gaza Strip could amount to genocide, was appointed as PM of anti-Hezbollah gov’t in Lebanon in January 2025. It’s obvious that nobody is sincere with Palestinians, least of all duplicitous politicians, and the Palestine cause is being co-opted for moral posturing to obtain political dividends.   

Nonetheless, Macron and Starmer have instigated a full-fledged mutiny against Trump’s authority. No European leader, liberal or conservative, would have dared defy the authority of Obama or Biden admin. Clearly, European leaders are frightened by universal appeal of Trump’s alt-right movement, and Trump’s unequivocal support for Marine Le Pen and Nigel Farage in particular.

Being paramount leader of US-subjugated “Free World” is similar to leading a pack of wolves. A slight hint of weakness would tempt blood-thirsty wolves to tear Trump apart. Macron and Starmer must be harshly taught to be obedient, because if they get away by defying Trump’s authority with impunity, then others would follow suit. These are a few steps that Trump admin could take to re-assert its authority:

United States has deployed over 80,000 troops and military assets in Europe, including 8,000 troops, military equipment and thermonuclear weapons in Britain, costing hundreds of billions dollars annually to American taxpayers to ensure Europe’s security. Mr. Trump should immediately convey to European leaders that he intends to draw down US forces by half.

Trump admin has recently appointed Gen. Alexus the Grynch as Commander EUCOM. He is also ex officio SACEUR, an acronym for Supreme Allied Commander Europe since World War II, who is the de facto chief of NATO’s military committee comprising 32 chiefs of defense staff of European armies. Gen. Grynch should be forthwith ordered to convey to chiefs of defense staff of France and Britain that all military co-operation with these countries will be suspended until their governments align their foreign policy with Trump admin’s guidelines.

Moreover, United States provides security to oil-rich Gulf Arab States by deploying troops and military assets in the Persian Gulf to ensure uninterrupted flow of crude oil to the industrialized world, and in return, Gulf’s rulers award lucrative oil contracts to Western companies. Trump admin should convey to Arab princes that oil contracts with France’s Total, Britain’s Shell and BP should be re-negotiated and awarded to American oil companies instead.

Furthermore, While I concede India’s tariffs are among the highest in the world, as Mr. Trump sagaciously pointed out, and India is one of the largest buyers of Russian oil and military equipment, in fact excluding the fleet of French Rafale aircraft, the rest of India’s military hardware is exclusively Russian built, still Trump admin’s reaction of imposing 25% tariffs on Indian products was unusually stern.

But there appears to be an entire sequence of events involved that compelled Mr. Trump to take Modi gov’t to task. In 2023, Canada’s then-PM Trudeau accused Indian intelligence agencies of assassinating Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian citizen of Indian Sikh origins. Later, FBI uncovered an Indian plot of mounting assassination attempts on leaders of Sikh independence movement residing in United States.

Subsequently, last November, Dept. of Justice implicated Indian billionaire businessman and Mr. Modi’s political ally Gautam Adani of orchestrating a bribery and fraud scheme, involving raising more than $250 million in United States to be paid as bribes to Indian government officials.

But on top of all that, despite calling Mr. Trump his friend, Mr. Modi stabbed Trump in the back by endorsing Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in American presidential elections last November due to her Indian origins and secretive Hindu faith. Now, Mr. Modi is paying the price for betting on wrong horse in the race.

Regarding Trump admin’s trade deal with EU, I knew it after Mr. Trump delayed imposition of 30% tariff on EU products by several months that he won’t be able to follow through on the electoral pledge to American constituents. Anything below 25% is a sellout, and merely 15% tariff will ruin domestic industry and make entire United States a rust-belt state.

Behold the irony that most ingrate EU leaders too are lamenting the agreement. It appears nothing would satisfy the greed of freeloaders beside 0% tariff. There’s no substitute to avant-garde American military equipment. EU states would’ve bought it anyway, unless of course if EU leaders have agreed to bankroll billions of dollars worth weapons sent to Ukraine.

Similarly, most American oil is shale oil and limited reserves will run out in several years. The agreement appears to have been struck under immense political pressure, it clearly favors EU and it’s a stab in the back of Mr. Trump’s American constituents.

Notwithstanding, Director National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has done an outstanding job by exposing Obama admin’s Russia hoax that Kremlin interfered in American presidential elections of November 2016 on Trump’s behalf. Her next task is to diligently scrutinize secret internal documents of intelligence community in order to conclusively determine who was responsible for plotting to cause mayhem during Capitol protests.

The storming of the Capitol by a frenzied mob on January 6, 2021, was clearly a conspiracy orchestrated by the US deep state in connivance with the political establishment to undermine Trump’s leadership of the Republican Party and forestall his re-election bid in 2024. Rumors abound that then-Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and Chairman JCSC Gen. Mark Milley restricted the authority of the commander of the D.C. National Guard to send reinforcements ahead of the Capitol riots.

Mr. Trump’s obvious intention in motivating the crowd was that demonstrators would stage a protest in front of the Capitol to exert moral pressure on then-Veep Mark Pence and the electors to refuse to certify Biden’s confirmation, following rigged elections in which postal ballots played a central role and countless dead Americans, including founding fathers such as George Washington, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, also cast their ballots favoring Democratic presidential candidate.

The Capitol’s security was overwhelmed by the size and fervid passion of the crowd. The chief of the Capitol Police acknowledged on the record that his repeated requests to send reinforcements were denied. According to an informative report by the Washington Post following the protests, security establishment restricted the authority of the commander of the D.C. National Guard to send reinforcements ahead of the Capitol riots that could have prevented the ensuing violence and bloodshed.

The report notes: “The commander of the D.C. National Guard said the Pentagon restricted his authority ahead of the riot at the U.S. Capitol, requiring higher-level sign-off to respond that cost time as the events that day spiraled out of control. Local commanders typically have the power to take military action on their own to save lives or prevent significant property damage in an urgent situation when there isn’t enough time to obtain approval from headquarters.

“But Maj. Gen. William J. Walker, the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard, said the Pentagon essentially took that power and other authorities away from him ahead of the short-lived insurrection on Jan. 6. That meant he couldn’t immediately roll out troops when he received a panicked phone call from the Capitol Police chief warning that rioters were about to enter the U.S. Capitol.”

How Trump Pledged to Support Ukraine for Passing Big Beautiful Bill

I had to do extensive research to find out rationale of most momentous policy reversal of second Trump presidency. On May 19, Mr. Trump had a telephonic conversation with erstwhile friend Putin in congenial atmosphere, in which Putin even asked for snaps of First Lady’s nude photoshoot that Trump graciously sent him via Whatsapp on the condition that he would keep them for personal use and wouldn’t disseminate them commercially, but all that bonhomie suddenly transformed into overt hostility after Trump said Putin had gone “absolutely crazy” after a routine Russian attack in Ukraine on May 26.

Some consequential event must’ve taken place in the week between May 19-26, and guess what was it? Predictably, it related to domestic politics of US instead of foreign policy. Through a reconciliation process, House of Representatives passed Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill for the first time on May 22 with razor-thin majority of 215 votes to 214. Later, Senate approved the bill 51–50 on July 1, with Vice President JD Vance casting a tiebreaking vote in support. And it again passed the House of Representatives, 218–214, on July 3, for the second time. Trump immediately signed the bill into Act the same day.

GOP holdouts, particularly the House Freedom Caucus, were opposed to the Bill. Whereas Trump was so sensitive about his legislative agenda that he unfriended Elon Musk simply because he dared to criticize the Bill. Therefore, Trump needed the support of someone powerful enough to have the Bill passed through Congress, and for that purpose, he struck a Faustian pact with deep state and solemnly pledged to continue providing military assistance to Ukrainian proxies and abruptly terminated friendship with Russian strongman.

Security establishment kept its end of the bargain and instructed its covert operative, who was elected Speaker of the House in October 2023 with the blessings of deep state, to follow Trump’s orders and have the Bill passed through Congress, a task that he executed with such artful wheeling and dealing that even Trump grew fond of him.

In April 2024, Speaker Mike Johnson put forward a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine that passed in Congress despite opposition from GOP and was signed into law by then-President Biden. Mainstream liberal media called that a Churchill or Chamberlain moment. Johnson said the classified briefings he had received about events unfolding in Ukraine played a significant role in his decision to stab Republicans in the back. But that treachery blew his cover as a deep state mole.

AIPAC was Johnson's largest financial donor in 2023. Johnson chaired the Republican Study Committee, the largest caucus of conservatives in Congress, from 2019 to 2021. Johnson is also the clandestine de facto chairman of the House Freedom Caucus while Andy Harris is simply a nominal figurehead. This was the reason he was able to easily convince the caucus holdouts to support Trump’s Bill after his demands were met by Trump admin.

The deployment of National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles in early June to quell anti-ICE protests instigated by California’s Democratic Governor Newsom and Israel’s bombing campaign in Iran lasting from June 13-23 and subsequent American bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites, during which Mr. Trump attended several security briefings, have brought the White House and Pentagon much closer to each other.

Now President Trump has gone a step ahead even from hawkish Biden admin in providing lethal military assistance to Ukrainian proxies for striking deep inside Russia that would further escalate the proxy war and peace would remain elusive for the remainder of Trump presidency.

The only difference being that Trump wants affluent European regimes to bankroll American weapons destined for Ukraine instead of adding additional economic burden on American taxpayers. But this isn’t noninterventionist pacifism that characterized first Trump presidency; it’s financial frugality at best.

Like Mike Johnson who was clearly an aspirant for presidential office in next elections, the Atlantic’s editor Jeffrey Goldberg is also a certified deep state stooge. He wrote an article in the run-up to 2020 presidential campaign, accusing Mr. Trump of describing military vets as “suckers and losers.” That article significantly dropped Trump’s ratings before elections.

It wasn’t a coincident that in March, Mr. Goldberg was the central figure in Signalgate scandal, after which Mike Waltz was sacked as NSA. Although a former special forces officer, Mr. Waltz ran afoul of military brass after he met Russian delegation headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on February 18, alongside Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff.

That meeting was meant to pave the way for a summit between Trump and Putin. After the talks ended, Waltz said he thought the summit could be arranged in the coming weeks. Thus, Mr. Waltz ruffled the feathers in Pentagon by actively working to arrange a meeting between US and Russian leaders.

This transgression was deemed a sacrilegious assault on national security domain. No wonder deep state assigned the task of doing a hit job on Mr. Waltz to its trusted and most experienced operative, Mr. Deep Throat of Watergate fame, who artfully hatched the plot to kick Mr. Waltz out from key NATSEC appointment.

Notwithstanding, President Trump is unconsciously trying to create distance between himself and Putin by uncharacteristically heaping insults on him and holding him responsible for escalation in Ukraine War. Mr. Trump is cognizant of the fact that Putin is despised as arch-foe by deep state, and he doesn’t want to spoil cordial relations with powers that be after re-election by courting estranged friend Putin.

On June 1, Ukrainian proxies mounted Operation Spiderweb, after getting a greenlight from Pentagon’s EUCOM head General Christopher Cavoli, in which Ukrainian drones struck deep inside Russia targeting strategic bombers, in order to scuttle peace talks between Russia and Ukraine happening in Turkey. That was Gen. Cavoli’s last major operation against Russia, as he retired on July 1 and was replaced by Gen. Alexus the Grynch.

In the Orwellian dystopia of mainstream political orthodoxy, any deviation from dogmatic adherence to charade of democratic values and civil liberties is promptly dismissed as heretical “conspiracy theory,” and conspiracist infidels are publicly burned at stakes, like condemned witches of medieval era, by establishment inquisition because blindfolded sheeple don’t want their illusions destroyed.

Even if it is proved beyond doubt that democracy and representation is a farce and deep state and corporate interests in fact rule the roost, naïve electorate still enthusiastically votes for its preferred poison to perform its civic duty of digging its own grave.

How Palestinians were Betrayed by Gulf’s Imperial Stooges

Apart from Zionist and Western regimes, Gulf’s autocrats are equally complicit in the genocide of Palestinian people. Hamas mounted the October 2023 attack to forestall Arab rulers treachery of establishing diplomatic and trade ties with the Zionist regime. UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco had already recognized illegitimate state of Israel in the run-up to US presidential elections of 2020, and it appeared likely the rest of Gulf Arab States would follow suit, thus burying the dream of independent Palestine.

Iran is the only Islamic military power capable of confronting the Zionist regime and lending moral and material support to Palestinian people, an unforgivable crime for which it is being punished by Israel’s relentless bombing campaign on behalf of Western regimes and Gulf’s autocrats, while the rest of Arab countries ruled by Western proxies are hand in glove with neocolonial powers despite pretending to sympathize with the Palestinian resistance.

The traitors to the Palestine cause are throwing parties in their lavish palaces and cheering Israel’s bombing campaign in Iran, but they don’t appear to have a slightest possible clue regarding the magnitude of danger hovering above their heads. It appears unsavory repeating threats ad nauseam, but if push comes to shove, the unrepresentative tyrants of the Arab World will fall like dominoes. You’ve been warned, time and again. Put a leash on your attack dog, lest it gets rabid, if it isn’t already.

Back in the heyday of Arab nationalism and non-aligned movement, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia imposed an oil embargo against Western patrons of Zionist regime. The 1973 collective Arab oil embargo against the West following the Arab-Israel War lasted only for a short span of six months during which the price of oil quadrupled, but Washington became so paranoid after the embargo that it put in place a ban on the export of crude oil outside the US borders, and began keeping sixty-day stock of reserve fuel for strategic and military needs dubbed the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

Furthermore, the Carter Doctrine of 1980 was proclaimed after the embargo, which states: “Let our position be absolutely clear: an attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.”

For the heinous crime of imposing oil embargo, King Faisal was treacherously assassinated in 1975 by his own greedy brethren. Ever since then, Saudi Arabia and the rest of Gulf States have been ruled by imperial stooges. The new generation of Gulf’s autocrats, including Mohammad bin Salman, bin Zayed and the rest, has struck a Faustian pact with Western regimes.

In this unholy marriage of convenience, Western regimes provide security to Gulf’s authoritarian rulers by establishing military bases across oil-rich Persian Gulf to sustain the tyrannical rule of Gulf’s autocrats, and in return, Arab petro-sheikhs ensure uninterrupted fuel supply to industrial powers and invest trillions of dollars in Western economies.

Donald Trump made an official visit to the Gulf States in mid-May. During the visit, Gulf’s rulers pledged to invest trillions of dollars in the US economy. What did Gulf’s rulers demand in return? Obviously, they asked for providing security. What is the single biggest threat to the illegitimate rule of Gulf’s autocrats? Clearly, it’s Iran’s formidable military capabilities, a stone’s throw away across the Persian Gulf.

A month before Trump’s visit, Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman conveyed a stark warning to Iranian leadership that its time was up. A month after the visit, on Friday the Thirteenth of June, Israel mounted Operation Rising Mouse, targeting Iran’s military and civilian installations. Thus, Israel is in fact doing the “dirty job” of degrading Iran’s military capabilities on behalf of Gulf’s autocrats.

Born into affluence and luxury and raised in opulent palaces, the new generation of Gulf’s princelings and oligarchs regards Palestinian Arabs as an obnoxious liability who want to spoil their cordial relationship with Western and Zionist masters by pushing the agenda of independent Palestinian statehood.

Living a jet-set lifestyle, spending vacations in tourism hubs of Beirut, Istanbul and southern Europe, gambling away millions in casinos of Monte Carlo and Las Vegas, buying luxury yachts and da Vinci’s artwork Salvator Mundi costing half a billion dollar on whim and bestowing largesse upon fawning acolytes across the world, Gulf’s petro-sheikhs look down upon starving Palestinian Arabs mercilessly slaughtered by Zionist mercenaries as buzzkill party poopers imploring them to take up arms against Western benefactors.

Just like privileged Arab ruling elites, the bourgeois liberal classes of the West too don’t give two hoots about suffering of Palestinian people. Although Western mainstream media is attempting to appropriate the Palestine cause by depicting graphic images of Palestinians being massacred in Gaza to sell news and push liberal agenda, the urbanized liberals of the West afflicted with scourge of runaway materialism and compulsive consumerism and busy in their hedonistic lifestyle are indifferent to the suffering of Palestinian Arabs.

Excluding a handful self-styled progressive moral impostors having political aspirations, thus duplicitously appropriating all the noble causes from Palestine and antiwar activism to corporate socialism and environmentalism, the bulk of urbanized liberal classes has scant interest in politics, particularly in foreign affairs.

They would keep on voting for Democrats in the US, Labor in the UK and the rest of establishment liberal parties in Europe and America even if the Obama and Biden admins turns out to be complicit in the genocide not only of Palestinians but Arabs and Muslims across the Middle East.

Duplicitous moral posturing of torchbearers of Western liberalism never ceases to amaze gullible viewers. In the run-up to 2020 presidential elections, Black Lives Matter protests following the killing of George Floyd were politicized to attract black and Hispanic voters and claim moral superiority over American conservatives. Then the burning issue of racial discrimination was swept under the rug during four years of Biden administration.

Afterwards, in the run-up to last November’s presidential elections, pro-Palestine demonstrations, comprising a few dozen singing and dancing hippies, were arranged in the Ivy League Western universities to lure Muslim diaspora. Despite the fact that during Israel’s year-long assault on Gaza, the Biden-led Democratic administration generously provided billions of dollars in military assistance to genocidal Zionists to perpetrate the Gaza Holocaust.

Despite masquerading as pro-Palestine, progressive moral impostors regard Israel as the only liberal democracy in otherwise authoritarian and conservative Arab World. Therefore, my dear progressive brothers and sisters, stop running with the hare and hunting with the hounds and reveal your true identity beneath the mask you are wearing.

It’s noteworthy that the bulk of protesters demonstrating Islamic causes, such as the Palestine cause, in the West is exclusively comprised of Muslim diaspora, with only a sprinkling of white Christians. Hamas is the offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, whose gov’t was toppled in July 2013 on instructions of Obama admin as it posed a security threat to Israel, whereas Hezbollah is supported by Iran. In nutshell, only Islamic nationalists, including Islamic Republic of Iran, are sincere with Palestinian liberation movement, the rest is simply moral posturing for political dividends.

Is Trump Sleepwalked into Forever War by Pentagon and Netanyahu

Netanyahu has grossly underestimated Iran’s formidable military capabilities, naively expecting the Islamic Republic to be a walkover like Lebanon and Syria, and has overestimated protection offered by Israel’s fabled Iron Dome air defense system that until now proved effective only against unguided rockets launched by Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel.

Although effective against aircraft and drones, even the best of air defense systems, such as THAAD that Israel has deployed, offer only 70-80% protection against incoming ballistic and cruise missiles. Back in the day, there was even a heated debate among military strategists should costly missile defense systems be even built, because they offer only a false sense of security, and the advent of hypersonic missiles has made them completely worthless.

Despite Netanyahu’s repeated provocations, Iranian leadership has displayed remarkable restraint during the conflict. It has strictly forbidden Iraqi militias, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthis in Yemen from jumping into the fray on Iran’s side, at least for now. And despite mobilizing troops towards Iran’s western coast, it has thus far avoided striking Western assets in the Persian Gulf.

This is a turning point in the conflict. Netanyahu will obviously beg Trump to join in airstrikes against Iran in order to get a face-saving. But Trump has to decide whether it’s worth risking an all-out war whose outcome will be massive turmoil in global markets, oil price will skyrocket, stocks will plummet and global economy will witness worst recession since, I don’t know, the great recession of 1930s. Choose peace over war, Mr. President, lest you too go down in history like the rest of warmongers, including Bush, Obama and Biden.

As I predicted in February that after sacking Gen. CQ Brown as Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff and appointing a partisan political appointee retired air force Lt. Gen. Dan Caine in his stead, the institutional policy of US military would now be collectively determined by chiefs of staff and combatant commanders.

After ingratiating American Step-President Donald Trump by deploying National Guard and Marines in LA to crack down on anti-ICE protesters, the Politico reported on Thursday that Iran hawk CENTCOM’s chief Gen. Erik the Gorilla is calling the shots in Iran-Israel conflict, requesting deployment of additional aircraft carriers and fighter aircraft in the Middle East, while Def Sec Hegseth and Chairman Caine are simply playing the role of liaison officers between the White House and the military brass.

It appears the toddler-in-chief lacks the capacity to learn from past mistakes. Trump should recall how Jim Mattis, McMaster and Mark Milley stabbed him in the back during the first term by overruling his non-interventionist agenda and fueling conflicts in the Middle East, leading to electoral defeat in 2020 presidential elections.

Since the Cold War, the Pentagon’s top brass has developed an uncanny expertise in brinkmanship. For the initial few months of the Ukraine War, the Pentagon’s declared policy was that US would only provide defensive weapons to Ukrainian proxies, then the policy was revised to include short-range offensive weapons so that trigger-happy Ukrainian troops don’t strike deep inside Russia, but eventually the Pentagon provided everything short of nukes in its arsenal to Ukrainian proxies, including HIMARS, ATACMS, tanks and even F-16 aircraft.

It even floated the idea of providing JASSM missiles with an extended range of up to thousand kilometers to Ukraine, but as Ukrainian pilots weren’t skilled in operating F-16 and couple of aircraft crashed in Ukraine, therefore the idea was dropped. Besides, Storm Shadows provided by Britain didn’t prove game changer in the conflict.

Now, the same cat-and-mouse game is being played with Iran. First, it was decided to let Israel bomb Iran for a week to bring it to negotiating table. After Iranian leadership agreed to resume negotiations, then it’s been decided to let the standoff continue for a while to see what happens. In the meantime, if a compulsive arsonist lights up a matchstick in the powderkeg and the critical oil infrastructure of the Persian Gulf goes up in flames, then they’d say, oops, we made a mistake, let’s punish Iran for fomenting the worst energy crisis of the industrial era.

Before Trump, former President Obama also claimed to be a peacemaker. He even managed to withdraw US forces from Iraq in 2011, but only to redeploy them after ISIS overran Syria and western Iraq in 2014. Obama also made the fatal mistake of listening to his generals and fawning Netanyahu’s persistent groveling and ended up simultaneously bombing seven countries in the Middle East.

Netanyahu has become the longest-serving prime minister of Israel, consistently being elected since 2009, as he embodies the deep state logic. Obama initiated a proxy war in Syria on Netanyahu’s behalf in order to eliminate a security threat posed to Israel’s northern borders from Hezbollah, backed by Iran and Baathist gov’t of Bashar al-Assad, fomenting the worst humanitarian crisis of the Middle East in the decade-long proxy war, causing hundreds of thousands of fatalities, displacing over half of Syria’s 25 million population and reducing the whole country down to rubble.

Moreover, the decade-long conflict in Syria gave birth to myriads of militant groups, including the Islamic State, and after the conflict spilled across the border into neighboring Iraq in early 2014, it was directly responsible for the spate of Islamic State-inspired terror attacks in Western countries from 2015 to 2017.

Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in August 2011 to June 2014, when the Islamic State overran Mosul and Anbar in Iraq, an informal pact existed between the Obama admin, its regional allies and jihadists of the Middle East against the Iranian resistance axis comprising Iraq, Syria and their Lebanon-based proxy Hezbollah that posed a security threat to Israel’s northern borders. Therefore, in accordance with the pact, militants were trained and armed in the training camps located in the border regions of Turkey and Jordan to battle the Assad government.

This arrangement of an informal pact between the Obama admin and the jihadists of the Middle East against the Iran-allied forces worked well up to August 2014, when the Obama admin made a volte-face on its previous regime change policy in Syria and began conducting airstrikes against one group of militants battling the Assad government, the Islamic State, after the latter overstepped its mandate in Syria and overran Mosul and Anbar in Iraq from where the US had withdrawn its troops only a couple of years ago in December 2011.

After this reversal of policy in Syria by the Obama admin and the subsequent Russian military intervention on the side of the Syrian government in September 2015, the momentum of jihadists expansion in Syria and Iraq stalled, and they felt that their Western patrons had committed a treachery against the jihadist cause, hence they were infuriated and rose up in arms to exact revenge for this betrayal.

If we look at the chain of events, the timing of the spate of terror attacks against the West was critical: the Islamic State overran Mosul in June 2014, the Obama admin began conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State’s targets in Iraq and Syria in August 2014, and after a lull of almost a decade since the horrific Madrid and London bombings in 2004 and 2005, respectively, the first such incident of terrorism occurred on the Western soil at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in January 2015.

Then the Islamic State carried out the audacious November 2015 Paris attacks, the March 2016 Brussels bombings, the June 2016 truck-ramming incident in Nice, and three horrific terror attacks took place in the United Kingdom within a span of less than three months in 2017, and after that the Islamic State carried out the Barcelona terrorist attack in August 2017.

20 June 2025.

Is Israel Bombing Iran on Behalf of Gulf’s Autocrats

If circumstances get really desperate, Iran has couple of aces up its sleeve that it could play as last resort to make industrial powers feel the pain as Iran burns and Neros at G7 summit fiddle. Iran’s invaluable asset is its geo-strategic location, spanning the entire eastern coast of oil-rich Persian Gulf.

Firstly, as Iran’s astute military leadership has already indicated, Iran could enforce a temporary blockade of Strait of Hormuz from where over half of world’s oil exports pass for the duration of the conflict. This would instantly make oil prices jump over $100 a barrel and Shylocks of Western World would immediately feel the pinch.

As far as American saber-rattling is concerned, Mr. Trump should know that Iran is known to possess plenty of Russian anti-ship Onik cruise missiles, whose export version is called Brahmos in India and Amir al-Bahr, Lord of the Seas, in Perso-Arabic.

Iran has passed on several tranches of these ship-killer hypersonic missiles to Yemen’s Houthis as well, on the condition that they won’t deploy the missiles until after getting greenlight from Iran. Therefore, it would be prudent of US Navy to steer clear of Iranian and Yemeni coasts, lest its ships are sunk to the bottom of Indian Ocean.

Secondly, Iran could go for the “nuclear option,” not literally but metaphorically. May God bless Haj Qassem Soleimani with highest ranks in paradise who proved to the world that the real super power of the Middle East is none other than mighty Iran. He orchestrated the audacious attack on the Abqaiq petroleum installation and the Khurais oil field in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia in September 2019, which was the first major attack in the Persian Gulf against the assets of Washington and its regional allies that hampered Saudi oil production for months.

The “sacrilegious assault” on the veritable Mecca of the oil production industry was an apocalypse for the global oil industry, because the Persian Gulf holds 800 billion barrels, over half of world’s total 1,500 billion barrels crude oil reserves.

It bears mentioning that alongside deploying several thousand American troops, additional aircraft squadrons and Patriot missile batteries in Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of the Abqaiq attack, several interventionist hawks in Washington invoked the Carter Doctrine of 1980 as a ground for mounting retaliatory strikes against Iran, which states:

“Let our position be absolutely clear: an attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.”

Mr. Trump is an accomplished businessman, always eager to promote trade and investment, who has been duped by blood-thirsty Netanyahu fighting for his political survival. Iran is known to hold second largest oil and gas reserves in the Persian Gulf after Saudi Arabia, and its leadership has already indicated that Iran is willing to negotiate a nuclear deal. It’s a golden opportunity to make most of it. Don’t push Iran over the brink, because with the back against the wall, Iran will retaliate with all possible means at its disposal.

Mr. Trump used to be a pacifist president during the first term, and I diligently campaigned for him in both elections. But something has changed in his second term; he’s not the same antiwar politician. It seems the impeachment proceedings in the run-up to 2020 presidential elections, electoral defeat at the hands of Biden, January 2021 Capitol riots and subsequent insulting court appearances have affronted his ego and damaged him psychologically, and he is out there to get revenge.

Rumors abound that his Zionist son-in-law Jared Kushner has threatened to divorce Ivanka if Trump doesn’t unconditionally endorse Netanyahu’s vindictive policy of setting Middle East ablaze. While I empathize with Trump’s dilemma, personal affairs should be kept separate from politics. Mr. Trump couldn’t let blood-thirsty lunatic have his way simply to save the marriage of his beloved daughter.

Israel’s key rationale in bombing Iran isn’t to destroy its nuclear program, because Iranian leadership has already indicated that Iran is willing to negotiate a nuclear deal, placing curbs on its nuclear program. The Zionist regime’s central objective is to degrade Iran’s conventional warfare capabilities, specifically its drone and missile program, as Israel did in Lebanon and Syria.

While I concede replenishing Iran’s long-range missile arsenal might take some time after the bombing campaign, it won’t make Iran toothless. As I previously stated, Iran’s invaluable asset is its geo-strategic location, spanning the entire eastern coast of oil-rich Persian Gulf. The entire oil infrastructure of littoral states of Persian Gulf is only a stone’s throw away from Iran’s western coast.

Iran doesn’t need long-range missiles to mount audacious attacks on US military bases and oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, because simply rocket artillery would suffice to cripple global oil production for months to come. Not a drop of oil will flow outside Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, the industrial world could adjust to renewables.

Gulf’s autocrats are co-belligerents in Iran-Israel conflict. Israel has mounted a bombing campaign to degrade Iran’s conventional warfare capabilities on the behalf of Gulf’s insecure rulers. Lebanon-based Hezbollah and Baathist Assad gov’t in Syria posed a proximate threat to Israel’s regional security, both of which have already been eliminated. Iran is over 1500 km away from Israel. It takes a veritable ICBM to strike military targets in Israel.

Donald Trump made an official visit to the Gulf States in mid-May. During the visit, Gulf’s rulers pledged to invest trillions of dollars in the US economy. What did Gulf’s rulers demand in return? Obviously, they asked for providing security. What is the single biggest threat to the illegitimate rule of Gulf’s autocrats? Clearly, it’s Iran’s formidable military capabilities, a stone’s throw away across the Persian Gulf.

A month before Trump’s visit, Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman conveyed a stark warning to Iranian leadership that its time was up. A month after the visit, on Friday the 13^th of June, Israel mounted Operation Rising Mouse, targeting Iran’s military and civilian installations.

The Bedouin chieftains claiming royal descent from camel herders should know that if Iran goes down, the critical oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar too will go up in flames. The tyrannical regimes will be toppled and replaced with genuinely representative governments of Muslim Brotherhood.

The butcher Clown Prince of Yehudi Arabia, fond of cutting down critics like Jamal Khashoggi into pieces; the son of most notorious womanizer of the era, the Emir of Abu Dhabi, pretending to be the standard-bearer of Bedouin liberalism while fueling conflicts and providing military support to Southern Separatists in Yemen, Khalifa Haftar in Libya and RSF militia in Sudan; the duplicitous Emir of Qatar, masquerading as Brotherhood patron while hosting the largest US airbase at al-Udeid, they must all pray to God the conflict ends quickly and intercede on Iran’s behalf to end the bombing campaign.

Otherwise, Iranian Fidayeen, equipped with rocket artillery and missiles, have been positioned along Iran’s entire western coast, awaiting orders from Ayatollah Khamenei to unleash barrages of drones and missiles across the Persian Gulf targeting global oil production industry selling oil as well as blood of Muslims to Shylocks of Western regimes.

The servile lackey of security establishment, the Western mainstream media, which for once has buried the hatchet and seems to have developed sudden fondness for American step-president and is depicting Trump as Christian savior for letting Israel bomb residential areas and shopping malls in Iran, is naively claiming the “inner circle” of Ayatollah Khamenei has been eliminated. There is no such thing as inner and outer circle in the Shiite Imamate. The whole of Iran is Khamenei’s inner circle, standing firmly behind Imam of the era.

Yesterday, Trump credulously boasted that Israeli and US air forces have achieved air supremacy over Iran’s airspace. Air supremacy is typically a precursor to mounting ground invasion, as in Qaddafi’s Libya in 2011. But who will dare to invade Iran, a handful Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MeK) terrorists, who are only good for mounting subversive ops in Iran on Mossad’s behalf?

US Air Force should steer clear of Iranian skies and use Jordanian or Iraqi airspace instead, if it wants to save the precious F-35 stealth aircraft. Iran doesn’t need S-300 batteries to shoot down hostile aircraft. It has bought a huge chunk of MANPADS that Pentagon provided to Ukrainian proxies and which ended up in East European arms black market. Now the IRGC has trained and equipped entire battalions skilled in using MANPADS. God, I wish divine providence had bestowed a bit of brains to Yankees instead of destructive weapons.

How CIA and Mossad Infiltrated Palestinian Resistance to Sabotage it

Self-centric Western World is a weird place where cringe-worthy sociopaths are elected rulers, fawning acolytes run powerful media organizations, scrupulously hiding gruesome atrocities of their masters, and conscientious critics are dispatched to nuthouses. Standing over heaps of human skulls, even Attila the Hun would have an iota of shame and won’t boast the way Netanyahu hysterically brags while standing over dead bodies of well over hundred thousand Palestinians.

Himself realizing the unmistakable irony in his Orwellian doublespeak, he sheepishly addresses the “civilized world,” inanely pontificating that over 400 million Arabs and 85 million Iranians should be denied the right to self-defense, or preferably massacred at the altar of Judaism, in order to safeguard “security interests” of seven million Jews in illegitimate state of Israel.

Israel was created amidst oil-rich Arab World during World War II lest Baathist Arab socialist states might fall under the Soviet sphere of influence in the backdrop of the Cold War. Therefore, like the infamous McCarthyite agitprop of the sixties engendering Russophobia amongst gullible Western masses, the naïve sheeple were also inoculated against perils of anti-Semitism to the extent where it became practically impossible to denounce even Zionist hegemony in the Arab World. This puerile reverse prejudice still persists in the contemporary world and anti-Zionist voices are promptly silenced and pro-Palestine activists are ostracized from mainstream discourse.

No pun intended but Netanyahu seems to be a military genius who appears to have devised a cunning tactic of curtailing Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities by letting Iran launch most long-range missiles in its arsenal at Israel, thus depleting its missile stockpiles. Israelites should thank Jehovah that Iran doesn’t have nuclear warheads to mount on missiles, otherwise Bibi’s astute gambit might have backfired.

Although he had served as a petty sergeant in special forces for a few years, Netanyahu doesn’t have a military mind. He has gravely underestimated Iran’s military capabilities. He was expecting Iran to be a walkover like Lebanon and Syria that won’t be able to mount retaliatory missile strikes at Israel after Israel’s first onslaught, deploying 200 aircraft equipped with American JASSM and Franco-British Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles, albeit with Hebrew nomenclature, costing American and European taxpayers billions of dollars.

But over the years, Iran has emerged as a major regional military power to reckon with. Not only is Islamic Republic’s defense production industry self-reliant in missile and drone technology but it has also reportedly provided stockpiles of drones and missiles to Russia during the Ukraine War. To return the favor in the hour of need, tranches of hypersonic missiles are en route from Russia to Iran, including formidable Oreshnik missile equipped with six MIRV warheads. The missile is otherwise ready to be deployed but it will be battle tested on Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Throughout the conflict, Iran has adopted a pacifist stance. Even now, it was ready to negotiate a nuclear deal. But Israeli and American policymakers duplicitously used negotiations as a red herring to mount surprise airstrikes on Iran. The reason two of Iran’s top generals and six nuclear scientists were assassinated in the initial strike on June 13 was that they were caught by surprise, as they were asleep at their homes, not realizing Zionists, since ancient times, deploy cloak and dagger tactics to treacherously assassinate adversaries.

Israel was conceived in the 1940s on the whim of the founder of the US deep state – Gen. George C. Marshall. During World War II, the Allied and Axis powers used oil as a weapon by enforcing naval blockades of ships carrying fuel, thus crippling military capabilities of adversaries.

Realizing the critical significance of abundant oil reserves of the Persian Gulf, Israel was created amidst the Arab World as military outpost of Imperial United States and its armed forces were trained, organized and equipped with sophisticated American weapons as Zionist Corps of the US CENTCOM.

After decline of Anglo-French Empire following World War II, Imperial United States emerged as its successor. After the Arab World gained independence in 1950s, Baathist Arab socialist political forces formed governments in several Arab states. This fact engendered apprehensions in Western capitals that the oil-rich Arab World might fall under the Soviet sphere of influence.

Therefore, the CIA and Israeli Mossad, operating hand in glove, infiltrated Palestinian liberation movement with spies, double agents and criminal elements, such as German neo-Nazis and Latin American narcotics smugglers. These infiltrators mounted false flag black-ops, including Black September hijackings and the Munich Olympics massacre of 1972, in order to vilify Palestinian resistance and legitimize the creation of Zionist regime.

Netanyahu was one such operative on the payroll of deep state. In May 1972, a Belgian Sabena Airline flight from Brussels to Tel Aviv was hijacked by four hippies, two men and two women, addicted to opium and heroin and claiming to belong to Black September Organization – a coproduction of CIA and Mossad to discredit legit Palestinian liberation movement.

The drug junkies pretending to be hijackers had two handguns, which they apparently discovered hidden behind flush tank of aircraft’s toilet like the plot of Hollywood epic Godfather. But the useful idiots didn’t realize they were given blank ammo that only makes noise without firing a shot.

A team of Israeli commandos, led by Ehud Barak and including Netanyahu, was promptly dispatched to neutralize wannabe terrorists. Disguised as aircraft technicians, commandos raided the aircraft, killing two male hijackers and capturing two female concubines while rescuing the hostages.

During the one-sided firefight, as hijackers were shooting blank ammo, Netanyahu was shot in the arm by one of his colleagues. After the blockbuster thriller was screened in cinema houses in Israel and across Western World, Barak and Netanyahu were hailed as national icons and both were subsequently elected premiers.

Although this satire is getting rather lengthy for the fast age of digital era, I’m gonna recount just one more tragicomic episode and let readers figure out rest of hijackings of sixties and seventies typically attributed to Palestinian liberation movement themselves.

In July 1976, an Air France flight between Tel Aviv and Paris was similarly hijacked by four hijackers, two of whom claimed to belong to Palestinian resistance while the remaining two were German neo-Nazis, and was forced to land at Uganda’s Entebbe airport.

It might seem a coincidence to gullible sheeple that Uganda’s military dictator Idi Amin initially enjoyed considerable support from Israel and Western regimes, though he later fell out of favor. Hearing the news of hijacking in the morning bulletin, disgraced Nixon’s successor Gerald Ford immediately picked up phone and called Idi Amin.

Ford offered Amin millions of dollars and American support for letting Israeli commandos mount false flag raid at Entebbe airport. Amin was initially hesitant due to fear of negative publicity but he eventually agreed after Ford promised that Jane Fonda would spend vacations with him.

Afterwards, a team of hundred Israeli commandos was hastily assembled. It was trained by American special ops gurus, including Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. The commandos raided the Entebbe airport, killing hijackers and rescuing hostages. But during the raid, Benjamin Netanyahu’s older brother Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu was also killed. Netanyahu family claims he was shot, though rumors abound he suffered a heart attack due to excitement of the epic mission.

It’s noteworthy that in almost all of these hijackings of sixties and seventies naively attributed to Palestinian liberation movement, plots were quite similar: hippies addicted to narcotics posing as freedom fighters, accomplices included German neo-Nazis and Latin American drug smugglers, such as Carlos the Jackal, after making international news headlines, purported hijackers were easily overpowered in commando raids and were immediately killed lest they spill secrets, and hostages were effortlessly rescued with minimum collateral damage.

Excluding the Munich Olympics massacre in 1972, in which a dozen victims lost their lives. But that was a botched operation as German police officials weren’t privy to the plot. CIA and Mossad assumed that the terrorists and hostages would be granted safe passage, and indeed a Boeing 727 was waiting on the tarmac to fly them out of Germany. But foolhardy German police deployed snipers at the airport, attempting to shoot hijackers and rescue hostages. This led to the carnage in which precious lives were lost, for which I sincerely apologize on behalf of CIA and Mossad. Typically, their subversive operations, vilifying Palestinian resistance across the world, were quite flawless and surgical, but occasional mishaps do happen. After all, spies too are human, no matter how soulless.

How Deep State Assassinated Modi’s Protégé Gen. Bipin Rawat?

How ironic that only two generals in Indian army were promoted out of turn as army chiefs and both were brutally assassinated. One was Gen. Arun Kumar Vaidya who was appointed army chief by Indira Gandhi in 1983 and the other was Bipin Rawat who was appointed army chief by Modi in 2016 while superseding two senior officers.

Following the gruesome assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984, her handpicked army chief Gen. Arun Kumar Vaidya also met his predestined fate in 1986, only several months after retirement. Both assassinations were alleged to be carried out by Sikhs, but in fact the murder plots had fingerprints of deep state all over, in the backdrop of Siachen conflict and Indian army’s subversive plan to mount pre-emptive airstrikes on Pakistan’s nuclear installations in the Orwellian year 1984, as brought to light by the US State Dept.’s documents declassified in 2015.

Bipin Rawat was Modi’s lackey. Despite completing three-year tenure as army chief, the new position of Chief of Defense Staff was created in Jan. 2020 to accommodate him, because Modi wouldn’t trust anybody to lead India’s behemoth armed forces besides him. Modi had trouble finding Rawat’s replacement, and eventually Ajit Doval’s protégé Anil Chauhan was brought back from retirement to be appointed as Chief of Defense Staff, which is a ceremonial post equivalent to Pakistan’s Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff. Indian army’s de facto head honcho has traditionally been army chief, a powerful appointment currently held by Gen. Upendra Dwivedi.

Bipin Rawat was despised by India’s military brass, because despite suffering two humiliating defeats – India’s airstrikes on Pakistan following Pulwama attack in Feb. 2019 when an Indian aircraft was shot down by PAF and pilot held captive and the Galwan incident in disputed Kashmir in May 2020 in which Chinese troops beat to death scores of Indian soldiers – still Rawat was continuing to lead India’s army and there was no way to get rid of him because he had Modi’s blessings.

One fine morning in Dec. 2021, Rawat’s Mi-17 helicopter took off but never landed, because a bomb aboard the chopper exploded, killing all 14 people onboard, including Rawat and his wife. Being an avid investigator gifted with preternatural powers, I can tell the name of the murderer by looking into his eyes.

Despite being a Marathi Brahmin practicing Gandhi’s ahimsa and renouncing meat, Gen. Manoj Naravane has the penetrating eyes of a medieval assassin. Not to mention he was army chief at the time of Rawat’s sad demise, oversaw counter-insurgency ops and was familiar with assassination techniques. Anil Chauhan should also be careful while boarding aircraft, because India’s notorious aircraft have a history of “technical malfunctions” and “pilot errors” leading to fatal crashes.

Notwithstanding, last November, US prosecutors belonging to world’s most sleazy and financially corrupt plutocracy accused Indian tycoon Gautam Adani of orchestrating a $250m bribery scheme. They alleged Mr. Adani paid bribes to Indian officials to secure green-energy contracts in India worth $2bn in profits over 20 years. In the following weeks, the Adani business empire lost over $30 billion in market shares, comprising one-third of its net worth.

There were several caveats in the indictment, however. Firstly, do courts in Yankeeland exercise ICJ’s jurisdiction over entire globe? Because the alleged crime was committed by an Indian businessman, involving purported bribes paid to Indian officials employed by state-owned company of Indian gov’t.

Although exorbitant amount of “$250 trillion” was supposedly raised in the US, how did clairvoyants reading fortune cookies come to the asinine conclusion the money was being raised for paying bribes? Maybe the Indian billionaire wanted to buy a luxury yacht or an emerald-studded necklace for his wife with a couple of hundred million bucks, as Mr. Adani is renowned for his philanthropic activities of generously feeding and clothing fame-hungry and scantily clad celebs of Bollywood film industry.

Secondly, what sort of an imbecile, devoid of any sense of business, would pay $250 million in bribes merely for $100 million in profits per year? Moreover, if Mr. Adani is the largest contributor to Mr. Modi’s political party, having many federal and state ministers if not the entire Modi gov’t in his deep pockets, as claimed by Indian media, then why couldn’t he simply use the political influence to get state contracts instead of paying hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes?

In fact, there was much more to the politically motivated indictment of the substantial contributor to India’s GDP than meets the eye. In August 2022, a Qatari court handed down death sentences to eight Indian former naval officers for spying for Israel, who have since been released. Then in Sept. 2023, Canada’s former PM Trudeau, fighting for his political survival in domestic politics, publicly accused Modi gov’t for orchestrating the brazen assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Unsurprisingly, the Biden admin followed suit and accused Indian foreign intelligence service RAW of plotting to kill another Sikh separatist leader in the US. Since then, the tussle between India and Canada has exacerbated and both countries have expelled scores of diplomats. Ideally, the Biden admin could have imposed economic sanctions on India in order to deter it from conducting black-ops on the US and Canadian soil. But it didn’t want to spoil relations with an important ally against China.

Therefore, the US has resorted to subtle tactics of arm-twisting the Modi gov’t that if it doesn’t desist from mounting subversive intelligence operations in the US and Canada, then the USG could cause irreparable damage to lucrative Indian businesses operating in the US.

Let’s hope the nuanced message has been conveyed to Mr. Modi. Otherwise, as a neocolonial power monopolizing international financial system since the Bretton Woods Accord of 1945, the US has countless lethal weapons in its formidable arsenal for conducting trade and economic warfare and coercing developing economies to toe the line.

Finally, despite trailing to Canada’s conservatives for months, Trudeau’s successor Mark Carney won elections held in March and formed minority gov’t after an alleged lunatic plowed to death 11 people at Filipino festival in Vancouver a day before elections who was initially portrayed as white supremacist.

Wearing corporate media’s glasses, however, investigative reporters didn’t notice any correlation between the massacre and Carney’s triumph who is resolutely standing up to Trumpist America, neither did anybody bother to notice deep state conspiracy disqualifying Marine Le Pen in France. We have full faith in Western political and judicial systems, and hopefully the culprit will be dealt according to law, but is a cold-blooded murderer qualified to be elected premier?
