My instinct tells me Trump will back down. He's looking for a way out. If it DOES escalate then 'the west' will lose but it will mean a lot of blood and a longish conflict. The opposition to the US Empire has discovered that the US doesn't do long wars and if you survive, you win. But that's just my instinct. I read widely but no-one anywhere has the full picture - and that's why you have to have a feel for 'patterns'.

Tulsi Gabbards changed advice shows me that she has been leaned on to pave the way for an attack and I now believe it will go ahead. All Iran can do is to prepare for this. They will cause chaos and activate their sleeper cells. What Iran must now do is to prepare for a long guerilla war and suck the US in. This will trigger a massive global polarisation but they CAN win. It will take years and will cost hundreds of thousands of lives. What a coward Tulsi Gabbard is.

Great article. My feelings are that Trump is trapped, now he loose in any case, but the possibility of back off are only marginals, due the enormous pressing from Israel.

Canada? Have you drop a look on Spain, recently?

My instinct is that he wants to back down, but cannot for some reason. (Much longer explanation in my latest 2 posts)

Historically, like fallen empires of the past, USA is at its end of life. The reason is the the perineal historic fav - loss of religious morality.

See my reply to this comment. Trump despite his no war campaign promise, has been turned 180 to warmongering by "dark faced men in suits" aka deep state.

The same deep state oppresses the citizens and residents by destroying family bonds (see reply comments), the most primal and devastating assault. The citizens are enslaved and demoralized. Therefore, we the people simply won't rebel regardless of how ridiculous and embarrassing the international shenanigans become.

The trade war and the debt bubble are ripe for implosion if another war is started.

The global order is in for a upheaval in the coming end times tribulation/prophecy. In fact, this is the only real solution to this dystopian morbid culture/society.

America Ruled by Dark Suits

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Head of State, after dealings with 3 US Presidents observes that America is ruled by dark faces in suits.

Alternate news podcast Redacted hosts, Clayton and Natalie Morris provide closing observations - a morally compromised and monetarily embolden individual is forced to act in diametrically opposite ways from their own promises.

History & Morality Standards: The 1952 US presidential candidate, divorced Adlai Stevenson II (D) lost to a landslide victory to Dwight D. Eisenhower (R). However the remaining two divorced presidents are: 1981/89 Ronald Regan (R) and 2016/2024 Donald Trump (R). All other US Presidents were never divorced. The root cause of all of America's woes is moral illiteracy.

These hosts were very strong MAGA till the inauguration. Now the pendulum swings back and forth daily but is inexorably drifting away from MAGA.

Traumatizing Parents Through Child Separation

Jun 12

Written By Careyann Muller

https://www.restoringequality.com/blog-1/traumatizing-parents-through-child-separation

The Psychological Warfare That Creates a Nation of Yes-Men, Dependents, and Silent Slaves

What happens when you rip a child from a loving parent?

You don’t just break a family—you break the spirit of a human being in the most targeted, soul-shattering way possible. You activate a primal trauma so deep, so destabilizing, that the individual becomes emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually paralyzed.

This is not just a side effect of the broken family court system—it’s a weapon.

This is psychological warfare.

How It Works:

1. The State Invades the Most Sacred Bond

The parent-child connection is the core of human stability. When that bond is violated:

• The parent experiences a form of living death

• The nervous system is flooded with helplessness, grief, and terror

• They begin to doubt reality, their own worth, their safety in the world

This is trauma by design. Because a traumatized person is easier to control.

2. It Induces Learned Helplessness

When parents:

• Follow court orders

• Obey the law

• Pay tens of thousands in legal fees

…and still lose their children, their voice, their rights?

They begin to internalize that nothing they do matters.

This is learned helplessness—a proven tool of mind control. And it leads to:

• Compliance

• Disassociation

• Silence

• Submission

3. It Destroys Autonomy—Creating Emotional Slaves

Parents stripped of their rights:

• Cannot trust the system

• Cannot trust their own instincts

• Cannot protect their children

• Cannot fight without fear of punishment

And so they freeze. They become emotionally castrated—enslaved not by chains, but by fear of further loss.

This is how the state creates yes-men: People too afraid to question authority, too broken to resist, too drained to rise.

4. It Keeps Society Frozen and Distracted

When masses of people are stuck in:

• Court battles

• Trauma loops

• Grief

• Poverty from legal costs

…they are not creating. Not protesting. Not rising. Not leading.

They are surviving.

Which is exactly where those in power want them to be.

Because a traumatized, distracted, exhausted population is a non-threatening population.

5. It Conditions the Next Generation to Obey

Children who watch a safe parent be erased:

• Learn that love is conditional

• Learn that power wins over truth

• Learn that speaking up leads to punishment

• Learn to fear authority instead of trust it

These children become:

• Depressed, anxious, disconnected

• Adults who self-censor, avoid risk, and comply with dysfunction

This ensures the next generation is primed for control—and the cycle repeats.

This Is Not Just Injustice. It’s Psychological Warfare.

• A parent stripped of rights is easier to silence.

• A child stripped of stability is easier to mold.

• A society stripped of family is easier to control.

What we are witnessing in the family court system is not just dysfunction.

It is a system that has evolved to intentionally disempower the individual, fracture the family unit, and create generations of emotionally regulated slaves who don’t even know they are in chains.

The Truth Is the Cure

To stop the cycle:

• We must name it for what it is: State-sanctioned psychological abuse

• We must organize, not isolate

• We must reclaim our voices, our children, and our nervous systems

• We must expose the entire system—from family court to social services to legal corruption—and hold each actor accountable

Because reclaiming our children is not just about reunification.

It’s about reclaiming society from psychological warfare.

And refusing to raise another generation in chains.

You’re Not Free in the United States of America

Jun 12 

Written By Kelvin Diaz

And deep down… you know it.

You’ve been sold a dream wrapped in red, white, and blue—but it’s time to face the truth:

You don’t even own your home.

Pay it off? Great.

Stop paying property taxes? They’ll seize it.

Miss a year? The government sells your “property” and throws you out.

Ownership is an illusion. You’re renting from the state—forever.

You don’t own your time.

You trade your energy for money just to survive.

The system is designed so you’re too exhausted to rise, too dependent to resist, and too distracted to notice the cage around you.

The Constitution?

It’s not being upheld.

• Your right to due process? Ignored in family court.

• Your right to liberty? Revoked through lies, legal games, and manipulation.

• Your right to parent? Stripped without evidence, without recourse.

And the officers, judges, and lawyers who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution?

They’re violating it daily—in full view—with zero consequences.

Slavery is not gone.

It has evolved.

It wears a badge.

It holds a gavel.

It signs away your rights in a courtroom.

It locks you into a system designed to keep you quiet, broke, and obedient.

You are a slave to debt.

A slave to silence.

A slave to fear.

A slave to systems that call themselves freedom.

Real freedom means owning your body, your voice, your children, your land, your choices.

You don’t have that.

Not if the state can steal your children.

Not if truth can be ignored under oath.

Not if you’re punished for defending yourself.

So what now?

We stop pretending.

We stop complying.

We stop bowing to systems that were never built to protect us.

We reclaim what was promised—or we admit it was a lie all along.

Slavery didn’t end.

It was just rebranded.

And if you don’t fight now, your children will be born into chains you didn’t dare to break.

YOU'RE NOT FREE

https://www.restoringequality.com/blog-1/3ovfethsi88omoopu6ureraozfly8f

You think you’re free because you can choose a Starbucks drink, vote every few years, or post on social media?

You’re not free if your voice can be silenced in court.

You’re not free if your children can be taken without due process.

You’re not free if telling the truth gets you punished.

You’re not free if lies under oath are ignored by the very people sworn to uphold the law.

You’re not free if your trauma is weaponized to keep you quiet.

And if you won’t stand up—not just for yourself, but for your children, your neighbor, and the future—

Then our forefathers died for nothing.

They didn’t bleed for a government that steals children and ignores truth.

They didn’t fight to establish a nation where judges collude, where police pick and choose which laws to enforce, and where speaking up costs you everything.

They stood for liberty.

And liberty means you fight when something is wrong—even when your voice shakes.

Silence is submission.

Submission is slavery.

And slavery under a polished system is still slavery.

Stand up. Speak up. Show up.

Because if you don’t, your children will inherit chains you were too afraid to break.

I was done here, but lo and behold the very next substack in my feed:

"Modern Israelites, as a whole, do not trust in Jesus. Some do, but the majority do not. Hence, the idea that they are relying on God is simply not true, they do not believe in him. Stephen, a Jewish man who trusted in Jesus for salvation, makes it clear that unbelieving Jews worship a false god,"

I urge everyone here to read this thread of comments by Vineet as it exposes the fraud of America brilliantly and clearly in a way I haven't seen anywhere else before in such a consice and clear manner that leaves no doubt that America is not a country but an illusion designed to break the spirit and will of it's people so they can keep being the global terrorists and war criminals that they are

It's a must read for everyone... And Vineet, take a fucking bow please as you've just enlightened all of us in ways I never thought I could in such a short amount of time

Much Respect to you brother ✊🏽♨️

When Trump says 2 weeks ..........I say 2 days!

He has lost the ability to dissemble. We are all onto him now.

Israhell is in a disastrous position against Iran.

Some questions?

Who told the Israelis ...........Iran was weak?

Does it occur to anyone that maybe the USA is fed-up with the 'noose of this egregious State of Israhell' around their neck??

Is Trump praying that Israhell gets wiped off the map?

Just questions!

Israel cannot go on for another 2 weeks. Its air defenses are already strained: more and more Iranian missiles are penetrating them, despite barrages with smaller number of missiles!

So, either Trump attacks Iran sooner rather than later or he backs down, though the latter option would embarrass him massively! (Of course, the former option may embarrass him and the US too, if his military operation fails!)

Seymour Hersch says Trump will have the US forces start bombing Iran as early as this weekend. I really hope we have at least a two week cooling off period for everyone's sake. (Also, it gives Iran plenty of time to bomb Izrealhell back to the Stone Age. They need to learn what life has been like for Gazans.)

It is my fervent wish that your analysis and prediction is correct. Perhaps Trump is simply using the fact that the US military needs two weeks to prepare. If Israel is defeated during this period, he can always claim that he was willing to help but the Pentagon was not able to get their ducks in a row soon enough. That would be the best outcome for everyone. Maybe we will even see "regime change" in Israel. Wouldn't that be ironic.

Thank you again for your analysis Julian.

We seem to agree mostly this time. Which i see as an honour.

My sensing did give a 70% likelihood of Trump, in the ~2 weeks time he still has, till most of his Carriers have assembled around Iran, to say: "I quit... Bibi started it all, let him finish it too then !"

And then he turns around to his MAGA voters and says triumphantly: 'No more wars !' and the war in Ukraine will soon be over too, without US support or AID. Leave that to Putin.

But Bibi and the tentacles of the Monster in the City of London, where the Shadows lay and the evil words and narratives are Brewed, feel betrayed... So Trump and his family and his loved ones and friends should take care, because the Monster does not know humour.

I said many times: Do NOT listen to words and statements, nor Narratives, even from experts. Just look to what happens. And understand why it is so and extrapolate those movements to see where it goes to.

My feeling is the Zionists have video of Trump buns up kneeling behind a teenaged girl and he damned sure doesn't want that to surface.

The show goes on! The two week extension is to prepare for war. And that's a damned shame.

I hope I'm wrong.

Good comment, Julian. There is so much that we cannot see that is going on behind the scenes.

It seems to me that if Trump's handler decide to enter the war, not only the Donald himself but the entire country will pay an extraordinarily high price, and the empire is likely to collapse.

The leadership in the Pentagon and in the government are a bunch anti-Iran obsessed moronic clowns who have no idea about geopolitics nor about different cultures – there is more to culture than MacDonald's, Coca Cola, Tesla and cowboys/girls.
