War With Iran or Venezuela?
I think neither.
Not that there isn’t a danger, but there are not enough bad things lining up to make either likely.
Mostly because the ayatollah is too smart to take Bolton’s bait. The Israeli propaganda about the threat of an Iranian attack is obvious bullshit. There’s nothing else to fight about. Even if the navy and IRGC get into some stupid tangle in the gulf, doesn’t necessarily mean it would spread. The chiefs must be telling Trump that an air campaign would be counter-productive and would not achieve regime change, only more regional chaos. And a land invasion would break the army. Plus I don’t think Trump wants war with Iran at all. He just wants a “better” deal than the JCPOA.
“We don’t take orders from Bolton,” said the army general in response to the national security adviser’s Iran policy in Syria. Let’s hope we hear some more dissent like that in the coming days to help cool things down.
The bad news is Pompeo stood up Merkel this morning in what was supposedly some emergency. I guess we’ll see.
Also, Guaido has no support outside of Washington DC. At least the Shah had been the dictator before. At least Yushchenko lost an election he could pretend that he won. What claim to support does Guaido have? That he’s on the record supporting an American invasion of his country? After 2 1/2 failed coups there in the last 5 months, it is almost impossible to believe that the White House would be willing to try to murder Maduro or launch any kind of military raid there to install this loser in his place. The mob would tear him limb from limb, as they threatened to do to the coup plotters back during failed regime change putsch ’02.
Of course Trump is still a giant, ignorant, incompetent boob. So anything’s possible. But I’m not too worried for now.
Medical kidnapping of children by the state
Disagree with your child’s doctor and you may get a visit from a SWAT team. Child Protection Service, state legislators and the juvenile courts are using federal child protection acts to expand their police powers. In Arizona members of the judicial system set up a lobbying group called the Arizona Judicial Council. The group pushes for legislation that will expand the police powers of the judiciary including legislation that, reduces high school graduation standards for foster care children, require all members of a household to undergo background checks before a child can be returned to their parents, another bill to keep children in foster care until they are 21 years old and a bill that would give court security police powers with authority to operate anywhere.

Tell us again Hillary how miserable you are. We’re listening.

Guantanamo Bay begins construction on senior care wing.
GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA—Saying the expansion would ensure the facility is adequately prepared for upcoming challenges, officials at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp announced Wednesday that they had broken ground on a new geriatric care wing. “Our senior care center will be located immediately adjacent to Camp Delta and will contain all of the essentials our detainee population will need in the years ahead, including easy-access ramps from the confinement block to the exercise yard as well as wall-mounted grab bars and no-slip mats in the shower area,” said Brigadier General Marion Garcia, who added that the facility’s 116 beds and each of its various enhanced interrogation rooms would be located on the ground floor so that inmates will not have to go up or down any stairs when moving about, thereby avoiding unnecessary strains on their joints and helping to prevent falls. “We also plan to mount defibrillators throughout the corridors and in every solitary confinement cell, and make sure that our on-site clinic is stocked with ample stores of hypertension medicines and BPH treatments. As our detainees’ needs change, so will our facility.” Garcia added that the new space would be able to make use of a number of supplies already in the detention camp’s possession, including its stock of feeding tubes and Ensure.
The Future of Military Technology is Intense
But the future of the human race is in doubt.
The Science of war is looking more like science fiction. Technologies that were once confined to the fevered dreams of Hollywood sci-fi directors are becoming commonplace throughout projections of tomorrows military: lasers, railguns, hypersonic missles, and secretive space planes.
Welcome to the wild future of the U.S. military
Stranger Encounters Ep 36: It’s Not About Socialism; It’s About Liberty
Before you dig into this episode please take a minute to visit Antiwar.com and contribute to Justin Raimondo’s medical expenses as he continues to fight stage four lung cancer. Justin has been an extremely important voice in the antiwar movement, and despite his advancing illness he continues to fight for life and liberty by opposing US foreign policy.
In Episode 36 of Stranger Encounters Tommy takes on the talking points surrounding possible war with Iran and Venezuela.
Every time the US government decides to intervene in another country it means less freedom for the citizens of the US. Supporting US efforts to destroy other countries in the face of this fact is the reason that the truth about what is happening in Venezuela and Iran is so important.
There’s so many more details to cover, but the only way to take on this topic with a different perspective, a broad outlook, was to avoid some of the finer details and focus on the freedoms lost when the US involves itself in other nation’s affairs.
