The Missiles of April

Guest Post by Scott Ritter

Iran’s retaliatory attack on Israel will go down in history as one of the greatest victories of this century.

I’ve been writing about Iran for more than two decades. In 2005, I made a trip to Iran to ascertain the “ground truth” about that nation, a truth which I then incorporated into a book, Target Iran, laying out the US-Israeli collaboration to craft a justification for a military attack on Iran designed to bring down its theocratic government. I followed this book up with another, Dealbreaker, in 2018, which brought this US-Israeli effort up to date.

You talk about GAMECHANGER… … … it doesn’t get any bigger than that.

Stop Telling People to Only Vote on Election Day

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

Look, it usually doesn’t help to be harsh, but sometimes you have to be. So, harsh it is. If you are one of those conservatives saying that we should only vote on election day and not use mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, early voting, or any of the tactics, techniques, or procedures that Democrats have used to win elections, then you’re an idiot.

NOTHING BUT SCAMS

More evidence of democide: Canada Life acknowledges the “degradation” of its services (but not the reason for it)

Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller

The Canadian insurance giant sends its livid customers a letter tacitly admitting that the ongoing plague of “injuries” has all but ground their operations to a halt

With thanks to Francois van Heerden:

Trump will Be Found Guilty in NYC And Bragg Will Try to Imprison Him

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

New York City is out to destroy Donald Trump, and Alvin Bragg’s criminal trial starts today – Monday. We already know the outcome – Trump will receive nothing of a fair trial, and Bragg, with the judges, will find Trump Guilty, and they WILL try to imprison Trump on Riker’s Island and cheer when an inmate kills him. I feel sorry for those who are blinded by their hatred of Trump. This is tearing down the country, and whatever they do to Trump has opened the door for rouge Republican prosecutors to do the same to Democrats. This is the start of the American Civil War, and ironically, the first one began on April 12th, 1861, and here this one will be instigated on April 15th, 2024 – 163 years later or just about 19 waves of 8.6 years.

This week, the nation is entering uncharted territory. On Monday, a former president will be tried in a court of law for the first time in American history. Donald Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to prevent news of an alleged extramarital affair from becoming public. This means that from here on out, running for president will become a serious personal risk, for the gloves are off, and there is no rule of law or national dignity that will remain standing.

The Middle East – The Coming War of Wars

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

I have visited the Dome of the Rock and paid my respects. Jerusalem is the crossroads of three major religions – Jewish, Islam, and Christian. Disputes over specific locations abound throughout the city. There has been a long-running and undeclared war between two of Israel and Iran – the Middle East’s most implacable foes. I am deeply concerned that 2024 was the target year for this confrontation to burst to the surface. The October 7th Hamas/Iran attack on Israel was the beginning.

Bread And Circuses: What It Means For Once-Great Nations

Authored by Nicole James via The Epoch Times,

Democracy, that ever-so-fleeting fancy, has a tendency to tumble into a bit of a tizz before it topples over, panting and gasping like a winded walrus.

John Adams, ever the prophet of doom, once quipped, “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself”—a sentiment echoing through the corridors of time.

And sounding much like the belch of a senator post-banquet in ancient Rome, where democracy was more a concept for philosophical banter than a practice.

Indeed, Rome, with all its pomp and voracious appetite for self-indulgence, serves as a cautionary tale. It’s a well-trodden path.

America’s Infant Mortality Rate Increases for the First Time in 20 Years

Via Mercola

Story at-a-glance

More infants are dying in the U.S. than in the last two decades, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
The U.S. provisional infant mortality rate rose 3% from 2021 to 2022 — the first increase since 2001 to 2002
Infant mortality in the U.S. rose from 5.44 per 1,000 live births in 2021 to 5.6 in 2022, representing 20,538 deaths in infants under 12 months in 2022
Other research found the 2020 infant mortality rate in the U.S, — 5.4 deaths per 1,000 live births — was the highest of all the countries analyzed; Norway had just 1.6 deaths per 1,000 live births, for comparison
In the U.S., life expectancy is three to five years lower than that in other high-income countries, despite higher health care spending. Adopting a holistic approach to health can help you maintain wellness at all life stages

Are We Witnessing a Tempering of American-Israeli Aggression?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Axios reports that Biden told Netanyahu he won’t support retaliation against Iran.

Washington is reportedly worried about a major escalation fraught with “catastrophic consequences”
https://www.rt.com/news/595934-biden-no-support-iran-retaliation/

For many years Israel has been pushing Washington to attack Iran, and neoconservatives and Congress have been chomping at the bit to do so. If this report on Axios is correct, it suggests that the power of neoconservatives over US Middle East Policy has been broken. I cannot help to be a bit suspicious of the report as it attributes more sense to Biden and his regime than we have previously seen any sign of.
