Corrections are roughly the same, but bull run ups reducing as the law of diminishing returns kicks in.

When I was talking about an emerging authoritarianism 2 years back [the use of the word fascism was seen as too offensive], most people found it inconceivable. Now no longer. The writing on the wall should be clear now for all to read.

This is madness and the reversal of 8 decades of US leadership since WW2. Why would they want to dismantle the ICC? To avoid being charged with war crimes. The reality is that in the age of nuclear weapons we either develop international institutions [necessity being the mother of invention] or perish.😒

Professor Robert Pape says Trump has lost control of the Iran war and is now being dragged toward something almost nobody expected: U.S. troops seizing Iranian territory along the Strait of Hormuz. He thinks the Battle of Hormuz has begun, and his argument is that Trump is no longer choosing whether to escalate; the war itself is beginning to make those choices for him. For months, Prof. Pape has warned about what he calls the "escalation trap." America bombs Iran, they refuse to surrender, Washington increases the pressure, the bombing creates more anger and nationalism inside Iran, they retaliate, and America escalates again. Prof. Pape thinks America may be preparing for stage three of the escalation trap: Ground operations. Not an invasion of Tehran, but a limited seizure of strategic Iranian territory along the Strait of Hormuz to physically weaken Tehran's ability to control shipping. He says Iranian nationalism is already exploding after the killing of the Supreme Leader, members of his family, senior officials, and thousands of Iranians. Calls for revenge are growing that could inspire attacks against Americans around the world. Then imagine one of those attacks succeeds. Americans are killed, U.S. nationalism surges, and suddenly walking away from Iran isn't seen as ending a stupid war; it's seen as dishonouring dead Americans. That's why he doesn't think Trump can simply wake up tomorrow and decide he's had enough. He faces a political crisis if his own base decides Iran humiliated him. Trump may think he's escalating to reverse a defeat, but Prof. Pape thinks every escalation is removing another exit. And America may now be moving toward putting troops on Iranian soil in a war that neither Trump nor Iran will soon have the political power to stop. @ProfessorPape

There is something deeply disturbing to hear so flippantly the ghoulish glee to blow a whole country to pieces. When manic political language short-circuits a person's humanity, that is called fanaticism.

The IDF merger/partnership is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS prospect and plays DIRECTLY into the NWO Technocracy surveillance police state being rapidly installed in America. Many people don’t understand nearly how DEEP this goes, and how much it will affect EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US. To put it bluntly, Israel will be weaving their surveillance technology deeply into the fabric of our military and intelligence agencies, with impunity. That’s the whole point of this, and why they say it’s a merger of “defense technology”, this also means it will be a large part of the golden surveillance dome (Skynet). Gaza was just a testing ground for all of this NWO surveillance tech, and drones etc. to be eventually used on the American people.

Could it be possible that the land of the hostile takeover is now in the midst of being taken over?😒 ... while the warmongering fake patriots are in denial and much of the population in stunned silence. Deer in headlights. Time to get angry people.

The ICC charged Netanyahu with war crimes so the US will now dismantle the ICC. Because Trump works for Netanyahu. Obviously.

Where are the grown-ups?😒

Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.

Former congressman Dennis Kucinich on US-Israel Defense Tech Cooperation Initiative (NDAA Sec 219) "You could almost say this is a takeover... [Bibi Netanyahu]... will have the ability to direct the US Military" "This is totally unprecedented" "the way this is written, it puts the Department of Defense in the driver's seat over other federal departments, including State. And... it runs through the whole government" This clip of Kucinich (@Dennis_Kucinich) is taken from a discussion with Ron Paul (@RonPaul) posted to YouTube on July 8, 2026. -----------------Partial transcription of clip-------------- "Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, is taking credit for the legislation that, that was put into the National Defense Authorization Act of 2027. He basically said, Yeah, this is what I want. "Well, he wants it because he'll have the ability to direct the US Military. I mean, it's mind-boggling when you think about it. "And this particular proposal, by the way, the way it's structured, when I first heard about it, I said I have to read the legislation, because let me tell you folks who are watching, you have to read the legislation in order to understand its workings. "And the way this is written, it puts the Department of Defense in the driver's seat over other federal departments, including State. And then this policy has— it runs through the whole government. "I mean, this really, you could almost say this is a takeover. And for some it'll sound hysterical. But the truth is that it is laying the groundwork for an entanglement that has never happened in the history of the United States. This is totally unprecedented."

Tucker Carlson: "The truth is, after this war, it’s impossible to say Trump’s Republican Party, MAGA, is acting on behalf of the US. It’s acting on behalf of Israel; that’s just a fact." "It’s such a Betrayal."

Actor Sam Neill has sadly died aged 78. As well has being a fantastic actor, he regularly showed his love of nature and farming. Here he is with his beloved duck. A lovely man who understood the value of the simple things in life. RIP Sam Neill.

As the war in Iran escalates, it’s critical to remember the role Israel played in drawing us into this mess: Israel convinced Trump that assassinating the Ayatollah would result in a swift U.S. victory, similar to the removal of Maduro from Venezuela. Now, despite the obvious and concerning security and sovereignty implications, our own Congress is trying to merge our military w/ Israel: responsiblestatecraft.org/us-israel-inte…

This is hyper-realism... the collapse of any idealism/ international law. We can't afford global war in the age of nukes. Necessity is the mother of invention [of international law]. We make the world we want to live in.

And that's what heaven is for...

Frog sloooowly getting cooked. Anyone else feel the wheels are coming off... 😒
