Summary
As the fake veneer of a “ceasefire” in Iran dissolves under the acid of the truth, we’re back talking about the spectacle of this illegal, undeclared, murderous “war” against the people of Iran. We unpack the agreement that we’re supposed to believe precluded a civilization-ending super-attack, track how it quickly fell apart thanks to the perennial, serial ceasefire-breaker, Israel. We also discuss the internal dynamics in the administration and make some key predictions about personnel changes and who’s getting thrown under the bus. (Hint: one of them is going to be the guy who farted into a tv microphone.) Finally, we discuss the myth that Iran is a “fanatical,” “irrational,” “rogue” regime. Much of it dates back to the hostage crisis of 1979, but was that really such a crazy move by the newly empowered revolutionary student movement? It’s a packed and hopefully helpful discussion of the war that still threatens to bring the global economy to its knees all because our leaders are insane and evil, serving a ruling class that knows it’s about to have to oversee a fundamental economic shift to automation and is gambling with the lives of millions to test out new methods of violence, surveillance, and control.
