    WAR

    BREAKING -

    IN DC: Tulsi Gabbard made more of a mess of herself and her reputation (among those who might not have arrived at the conclusion that she already showed towering hypocrisy re her oath to the Constitution while simultaneously voting for funds to keep occupation forces in Afghanistan and while allowing HERSELF to be deployed overseas even when there is no DECLARATION OF WAR). Here, she completely dodges her own statements and recalled reports re Iran.

    This offers an extended view of her clownish appearance.

    John Ratcliff also made an appearance before the Senate. He got to hear many valuable statements about the Trump fakery re the “threat” of Iran, but the Senators weaved around the core of it - no constitutional Declaration of War. This, still, is worthwhile.

    And, recall our discussions on Liberty Conspiracy Live and here re the malleability of the govt term “National Security”? Here we see how Trump is offering “national security briefings” to donors who cough up cash. Senator Kelly is not a fan.

    Israeli aggressors bombed an Iranian nat-gas facility. This is massive. It is, from my research today, the largest storage facility of its kind, in the world. The his targeted civilian infrastructure, it has stopped the supply of nat-gas-created electricity to a large portion of Iraq. It also risks Iran needing to shut down others in Iran, which will drastically reduce nat-gas shipping, and key cooperative gas arrangements with other Mid-East nations, such as Qatar, aaaand, it has prompted Iran to strike back. Indeed… Here are details:
    Israeli airstrikes hit the South Pars natural gas field and processing facilities in Asaluyeh, Bushehr Province, Iran, the world’s largest gas field shared with Qatar, causing fires, halting gas supplies to Iraq, and disrupting Iran’s energy production. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued urgent evacuation orders for key Gulf energy sites including Saudi Arabia’s Samref Refinery and Jubail Petrochemical Complex, UAE’s Al-Hosn Gas Field, and Qatar’s Mesaieed Petrochemical Complex and Ras Laffan Refinery, declaring them legitimate targets for retaliation. The Israeli strikes, conducted with US approval, escalated regional tensions, triggered Saudi air defenses to intercept ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh, and disrupted global energy markets. LINK

    Here is Alistair Crooke on that issue, in discussion with Danny Haiphong, today:

    Iran accuses the Gulf states (without directly naming them as launch points for the South Pars strike) of enabling the aggression by hosting or allowing US-linked operations/bases on their territory and ignoring prior warnings against “blind obedience” to external (US/Israeli) powers instead of prioritizing national sovereignty. The logic is that these energy sites are now fair game because they represent “the origin of the aggression” or extensions of US interests — mirroring exactly how Iran’s own energy infrastructure was hit.This is presented purely as defensive reciprocity (“attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure will not go unanswered”), not as punishment for the Gulf states independently starting anything. The broader observed effect (economic pressure via oil/gas price spikes) is noted in coverage but is not the primary rationale Iran itself states in these announcements. These statements were issued within hours of the South Pars strike on March 18, 2026, and include civilian evacuation alerts to the named sites. No strikes on the Gulf facilities have been reported as of now (per latest coverage). More

    MORE — Retaliation begins?

    PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT - This, from Judge Napolitano and Pepe Escobar, spells out the import of this escalation by the US and Israel

    CUBA (as XTC sang)

    Given the temporary “unblocking” of Russian fuel that Trump-Bessent recently announced, it is interesting to see the Russian fuel exporters testing the “permission” slip. Bessent and Trumpola said it was only for 30 days and only for ships on the water carrying Russian fuel. Beyond that, blockade. Sooo, how does one view this, which will be important for the people of Cuba, who only have electricity for a few hours each day, rising from a near total blackout over the weekend?

    THE “SAVE” ACT - AND FISA REAUTHORIZATION - INTERTWINED

    Not only is the SAVE act unconstitutional in the portion where it usurps state-level control over the choosing of electors to the Electoral College (the requirement for an ID is the infraction, there, that steps on reserved state prerogatives), the FISA-pushers are mixing it with the bill. This seems to be a lever to try to attract some pro-FISA spying Dems. It will not attract them, because they can slip it into other bills. LINK

    FIREARMS AND NATURAL RIGHTS

    The State of VA again has attacked Natural Rights, this time with a so-called “assault weapons” ban. Of course, the term is amorphous, changed every few years per the desires of politicians, and meaningless, but, more important, the US Constitution’s Second Amendment strictly forbids states from passing ANY infringement on the right to keep and bear arms. As this article notes, ‘Under Virginia law, an “assault firearm” refers to a “semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol which expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine which will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition.” It also applies to guns designed to have a silencer or folding stock.’ No official Virginia government source (VSP, JLARC, Department of Health firearm death data, etc.) provides a specific count or statistic for murders involving “assault weapons” in 2025. In fact… The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)/NIBRS Expanded Homicide Data does not track or categorize “assault weapons” as a distinct class—only broad types like “rifle” (all rifles), handgun, shotgun, etc. “Assault weapon” is viewed as a political/media term, not a crime-data category.

    • Rifles (the closest proxy, which includes AR-15-style and other semi-autos often labeled “assault weapons”) are used in a tiny fraction of cases. Handguns dominate gun homicides (typically 50-70%+ of known firearm types), while rifles are rare and declining as a share despite more ownership — “assault weapon” bans target guns rarely involved in typical street/gang homicides (excluding suicides, as FBI homicide tables do). Rifles are outnumbered by knives, blunt objects, or hands/fists in murders.

    Meanwhile, in another revealing anti-rights move, Trump-Bondi-Inc is fighting a Wyoming bill that would nullify federal gun statutes in the state. LINK

    THE US ECONOMY

    Get ready for much worse.

    IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE

    The main story dominating coverage today is the ongoing Senate confirmation hearing for Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), President Trump’s nominee to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He is testifying before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to replace Kristi Noem, who was reportedly fired earlier this month. Lawmakers are questioning Mullin on his priorities for DHS, including potential reforms to ICE and immigration enforcement. Coverage includes live streams and reports highlighting tensions, such as Sen. Elissa Slotkin pressing him on ICE reform plans amid claims that “trust is gone.” Watch live: Markwayne Mullin testifies at Senate confirmation hearing for DHS secretary LINK

    Welcome, fellow Conspirators!

    It was a wild and wooly day studying the resignation of Mr. Kent (and some of the opportunities he could have taken to resign a long time ago). Immense thanks to Yona Aniwodi of Peasants Podcast for joining me in our Mind Meld tonight, to discuss that AND original American Indian justice systems that became part of the Articles of Confederation system.

    BREAKING - TRUMP NAT-SECURITY BUREAUCRAT 2ND TO GABBARD RESIGNS OVER US ATTACK ON IRAN FOR ISRAEL

    Joseph Kent, Director, National Counterterrorism Center, has resigned, explaining his disaffection from the Trump Admin over its attack on Iran.

    Kent is a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3) and a former Green Beret (Special Forces) with a long career in special operations. He served approximately 20 years in the military, including time as an Army Ranger before transitioning to Special Forces. His military “service” included 11 combat deployments: three years as a Ranger, followed by eight deployments with the 5th Special Forces Group (Green Berets) and three more with a special operations task force. Much of his career focused on “counterterrorism” and unconstitutional occupation operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other zones during the fake, ill-titled Global War on Terror. His actions in those zones indicate that he did not conform to his US Constitution, and he allowed himself to be deployed without a Declaration of War.
    He retired in 2018. He is a Gold Star husband, having lost his first wife, Shannon Mary Kent (née Smith), in combat. Shannon was a U.S. Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer (promoted posthumously) and cryptologic technician (interpretive), fluent in multiple languages. She served in elite roles, including as a member of JSOC’s Intelligence Support Activity (a secretive special operations intelligence unit), supporting operations with Navy SEALs and other forces. She was the first woman to complete the Naval Special Warfare Direct Support Course and operate in direct combat with Naval Special Warfare units. Here is his X post about Mr. Kent’s decision:

    Here is the text of his resignation letter:
    President Trump,
    After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
    I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
    I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth
    and prosperity of our nation.
    In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.
    Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.
    As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
    I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.
    It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.

    Joseph Kent
    Director, National Counterterrorism Center

    Mr. Kent offers a valuable insight re Israel. But he took a long time to steer a bit, just a bit, closer to the US Constitution, and he still is not really acknowledging its rules.
    Likewise, Mr. Trump is a confused mess. He hired Kent, but now says that Kent never was good on national security. Since that term is a Barnum word that lets politicians claim “national security” is anything they desire it to be, all for YOUR good, mind you (and without giving you a chance to be free), Trump is using it as an out, while also contradicting himself for his original decision to let the man work for him. It’s also stunning to see Trump claim Mr. Kent was “weak” when Mr. Trump slipped out of military action into which hundreds of thousands of men of his era were conscripted. Here is what Trump said of Mr. Kent when he hired him

    Here is Trump now:

    And more of his frivolous approach, “did it out of habit…” and for Israel, an “ally”

    As AntiWar notes, Mr. Trump’s “habit” is slaughtering innocent people in Iran, every day. Headline: “Iran Says US-Israeli Strikes Have Killed More Than 400 Women and Children - News From Antiwar.com” LINK
    And back to Mr. Kent, here are Judge Andrew Napolitano and Aaron Mate on the news of his resignation:

    -Re Kent, Speaker Johnson clearly lied this afternoon. Here are Nima and Col Wilkerson on Johnson, with Johnson’s fatuous statement included.

    Trump ALSO claimed today that he was not warned about Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, even as he claimed that if he had not terminated the “Obama Nuclear Deal” (the JCPOA) Iran would have developed nuke weapons and used them on Israel and other nations. Not only did Iran stick with the JCPOA for nearly a year after the US never abided by it, Iran allowed US INSPECTORS to check its civilian nuclear energy program plus IAEA inspectors to check. Trump pulling out of the agreement circa 2018 led to Iran upping its refinement, but even that was not to weapons-grade level.

    Trump was explicitly warned—both by US intelligence and public experts—about the exact scenario he claimed was “unpredictable” in his March 17, 2026 press conference. Multiple credible reports confirm he received briefings beforehand that striking Iran (including Kharg Island) risked Iranian missile/drone retaliation targeting US bases and assets in Gulf states (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain), potentially drawing those countries into the conflict. Iran itself had publicly and repeatedly signaled this response. LINK LINK

    As much of a good thing it would be to pull out of NATO, Trump does not explicate the fact that he has a Constitutional duty to pull out, regardless of what Congress might say about the need for them to pass a statute. He swears an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution, and, as a result, he is not supposed to execute unconstitutional statutes, such as the one that tied the US to NATO.

    WARIRAN

    The Prez can’t keep his story straight. Lying braggards tend to be that way. Recall that he repeatedly said the US “won” against Iran.

    But now…

    -Mr. Fetterman is woefully misinformed. Either that, or he knows he is lying. Regardless, many people will die because of his aggression, and because of his disregard for the truth.

    The question of a living or dead Schrodinger’s Bibi continues to circulate. Now, someone has replaced the AI bibi in the cafe with the new Ayatollah

    Meanwhile, Trump wants people to think that IA fakery is behind the Tehran rally of the other day, at which more than 250K people appeared, showing up to support the current govt and defy US-Israeli Aggression (has that term been trademarked, yet?)

    Someone might want to put him in touch with this woman, who has an X account he can follow.

    MORE LYING - Trump claims that the “Iran nuclear deal” was the “Obama Deal”, once more insinuating that Obama “handed cash” to Iran (as so many MAGA claim) and not noting that this “Obama Deal” was the JCPOA, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, to which Iran adhered for over a year, but to which the US NEVER adhered save for Obama as part of the agreement (and in exchange for Iran meeting nuclear-related commitments verified by the IAEA), the U.S., EU, UN, and other parties lifting or suspended nuclear-related sanctions. This action unfroze Iranian assets held abroad (primarily in foreign banks, not U.S. ones) that had been restricted due to sanctions. Key estimates from reliable sources around the time of the deal include:

    • Total frozen assets potentially accessible: Around $100 billion to $120 billion (common range cited in sources like the Council on Foreign Relations, U.S. Treasury estimates, and analyses from think tanks).

    • Usable/liquid amount Iran could actually access: Often estimated at about $50 billion

    Of course, as he lied about the JCPOA, Trump also has lied about seeking peace with Iran, and one expects more, as he sends 2.5K troops to Kharg Island (it seems, right now)

    Buuuut… Now, Trump is desperate to get international help to open the Strait of Hormuz.

    This is the clip, with ramped-up volume, for your listening pleasure…

    Here are some of the nations that have declined Trump…

    Senator Fetterman either is woefully uninformed, or is lying…

    And Heeeeeeere’s HASSETT!

    The Canadian PM is stressing to Middle Eastern nations that his govt is not participating with the US on this particular criminal escapade. He has others going on, so perhaps he is too busy to add to the burden.

    ANNNND… Trump is a prime target for AI spoofing.

    Hegseth says that a lack of oil, the further erosion of the US economy (and of many others) is not a factor now, and, evidently, was not a factor to be considered when Trump unconstitutionally and immorally attacked Iran.

    And the US cannot stop Iran and the other nations in the Persian Gulf from exporting their oil, but Iran and Oman can prevent the US and Israel and their pals from getting the oil first-hand, before markups.

    On Air-Funk Uno, someone asked Donny why he was sending what appears to be 5,000 US troops, and (the audio is rough on this) he said, “You’re a very obnoxious person.” Evidently, there are numerous mirrors on the jet.

    ECONOMIC HITS DUE TO TRUMP AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN

    Trump economic advisor Kevin Hassett exhibits an utter cleave from reality, a frivolous treatment of others, and a lack of virtually any economic knowledge. He either is clueless, or lying.

    THE SMELTING PROB CAUSED BY US AGGRESSION IN THE GULFMiddle East Smelter Cuts 20%

    Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has cut its output by about 20% due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for global shipping routes. This shutdown affects approximately 19% of Alba’s total output capacity, which is about 2.2% of global aluminium production. The decision to cut back production is part of a broader strategy to preserve inventory of raw materials amid heavily disrupted maritime shipping routes. The latest ship tracking data shows tankers anchored on both sides of the strait’s entry and exit points, indicating muted traffic. However, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is vital for 20% of the world’s crude oil supply, is compounding the disruption. The situation is further complicated by the Iran war, which has led to force majeure declarations from major smelters and pushed LME prices to a four-year high. The ongoing conflict has forced smelter closures and force majeure declarations across the Middle East’s aluminum industry, threatening a supply crunch in a market where global stocks are near historic lows. LINK

    TAIWAN CHIP MANUFACTURING - NEEDS ENERGY VIA THE GULF

    Closure of the Strait of Hormuz poses a grave risk to Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, the backbone of global tech supply chains. This vital waterway handles shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar, which accounts for about one-third of Taiwan’s imports. LNG fuels nearly half of the island’s electricity, essential for powering energy-intensive chip fabs operated by giants like TSMC. Any blockade could trigger an “LNG cliff,” leading to rapid reserve depletion and widespread blackouts, halting production and damaging sensitive equipment.Taiwan maintains natural gas stockpiles sufficient for 8 to 11 days under normal conditions, with mandates aiming for 14 days by 2027. Prolonged disruptions would exacerbate shortages of helium and sulfur, critical for wafer cooling and materials processing. To counter this, Taiwan is pivoting toward U.S. LNG imports from mid-2026, though alternatives may fall short in a crisis. Dominating over 50% of the global foundry market, TSMC produces advanced logic chips on 2nm to 28nm nodes, including AI accelerators for Nvidia, mobile SoCs for Apple, and automotive semiconductors. Weekly output reaches approximately 288,000 12-inch wafers, yielding billions of chips across various types. A shutdown could mirror past shortages, rippling through industries reliant on Taiwanese chips, underscoring the fragility of global dependencies. LINK

    THE US CENSORSHIP ANGLE

    Trump already has constricted the flow of oil, nat-gas, and other merch around the world, now, Don and FCC Top Goon Brendan Carr want to stop or constrict the flow of information between us.

    Here is more, and you can see Trump’s post, in which he stresses the need to have the FCC go after indie video makers who offer comments or interviews that Trump defines as “threats to national security.”

    And Ted Crux of the Problem — that’s his name, right? — doesn’t like people criticizing Israel, the political entity, so he depicts said criticism as “antisemitic” as so many other Zionistas do.

    And the Wonderland reworking of terms — the Orwellian Newspeak — continues, with the maestro of mendacity, Mark LEVIN (one must read it with the screechy, high-pitch arriving on the surname).

    More… with so many fraudulent statements from Cruz, one could offer an entire seminar on them. Check out his last bit of balderdash, when he likens Israeli statism to a bulwark for “capitalism”! So, collectivist fascism and genocide have something to do with free markets that shun statism? Suuuuure.

    As I got to note on X, Transportation Sec Duffy seems oblivious to the fact that the ICE gang are an unconstitutional, parasitic, group of invaders who breach the 4th Amendment, kidnap people, and are initiating violence against non-aggressive victims. Not only is the word “immigration” not in the US Constitution, not only was it left to the states, Mr. Duffy’s own agency also is unconstitutional and parasitic, a tick on the body of the US economy and individual rights.

    The above statement from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is tied to the ongoing 2026 federal funding dispute over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Dems in Congress have been conditioning their support for DHS funding—including for agencies like ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), CBP (Customs and Border Protection), and TSA—on major “reforms” to immigration goon-gang practices — not elimination of the goon gang. Key demands include:

    • Banning or restricting federal agents (especially ICE) from wearing masks/face coverings during operations.

    • Requiring body cameras.

    • Mandating judicial warrants (instead of administrative ones) for certain actions like home entries.

    • Other accountability measures, such as visible identification.

    Republicans and Trump admin officials have framed these demands—particularly the mask issue—as an attempt to expose agents’ identities, making them vulnerable to doxxing, harassment, and threats against their families. This matches Duffy’s exact rhetoric in the clip: accusing Democrats of wanting agents unmasked specifically to enable doxxing and targeting of agents, their spouses, and children. The standoff escalated into a partial DHS shutdown (now around 30 days as of mid-March 2026), affecting operations like TSA airport security and leading to long lines and chaos at airports.

    Finally… LONG COVID DAY

    Yes, regardless of whether they did not get the mRNA jab, millions suffer from the devastating effects of Long COVID. The medical researchers digging into it have found the cause to be the spike protein, which attacks the nerves, create micro-clots, and attacks the gut. Here is a bit about the problem, which manifests as heavy, unbearable fatigue, gut problems, temperature dysfunction, a near-pinkeye problem, hypersalivation, skin blemishes on the back of the neck, sudden tinnitus, smell and taste changes, brain fog, headaches beyond description, blood clots, and disequilibrium.

    WAR

    We begin with the US attack on Kharg.

    -And, even as he sets those men in an unhold, Trump brags and swaggers. Headline: “Trump threatens to hit Iran’s key oil hub ‘just for fun’ (PHOTOS, VIDEOS) — RT World News” LINK
    We are aware of the rumors and news reports that Netanyahu and his wife are dead, victims of the Iranian return-fire caused by his aggression.

    -More, with the six-fingered Bibi telling everyone he’s just fine.

    -Netanyahu’s government jet landed in Germany Friday, but there is no record that he was aboard.
    -On a more concrete level of the insanity... Some commentators have said that Trump must have been “misled” by his advisors into breaching his easy-to-read CONstitution, lying about Iran (again and again), and aiding Israel in the Zionist mania. Others know that Trump cannot have been ignorant about what he had planned. Now, he sees the bitter fruits of his actions, even as he drops troops on Kharg Island, which cannot hold for the US, and as the world energy supply gets strangled. WAPO Headline: “Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. - WSJ” LINK
    -Again, the Iranian govt is blocking US-ISRAELI-ALLIED ships, not others

    -Now, we hear Trump offer his opinion of the victims of his violence

    -more on the Western arrogance

    -And now, of course, Trump is calling on OTHER nations to help him dig out of this hellish pit.

    Ask Inspector Columbo about that…

    -Iran has hit many of the US bases circling Iran in other nations. Merz in Germany doesn’t like that, and portrays the entire situation as IRANIAN aggression. See how that works? Totally makes sense.

    -And the more the US attempts to use other nations as launching pads for air or rocket strikes, the more the Iranians will retaliate. The more the US relies on its corporate cronies, the more the Iranian government will include them in the appropriate blame.

    -And, as we saw with Spain at the start of this US aggression, the Swiss government now is denying US aircraft any access to the Swiss airways.

Headline: “U.S. Navy Won’t Be Ready To Escort Tankers Through Hormuz For Weeks (Updated)” Link
    As we last week noted on Liberty Conspiracy Live, the US assassination of the previous Ayatollah has galvanized Shia in many different nations. This saw a Shiite Iraqi subset shoot down a KC135 two days ago as the plane flew over Iraq. This now sees the US attempting to clamp down on the Shiites in Iraq, devoting US tax money to the attempt to kill more people, sans Declaration of War, in a foreign nation. Here is Antiwar on it Headline: “Thirty PMF Fighters Killed by US Airstrikes in Iraq - News From Antiwar.com” LINK
    And, now, Trump is talking censorship in the US — what a shock. He already has engaged in attacks on pro-peace speakers re Palestinian rights, he recently revealed his “Cyber Agenda” to fund online outlets and tech the US regime likes, so what surprises about this…?

    Yes, on the domestic political side of things in the US, the Zionist MAGA crowd seems to think that people are more concerned about a half-baked, half-unconstitutional SAVE Act, mandating ID to vote, which would breach Article Two of the US Constitution.

    It doesn’t take a genius to understand that the Trump tariffs, previous blocks of Russian oil, attacks on migrants, and this insane military escapade are rocking apart what is left of the US economy, from fuel prices, to food prices, to fertilizer (future food prices), to housing market depression, to US government debt, and on and on. This MSN story offers their visit from a commentator who offers a bit of valuable thought on the prospects for more unleashed economic trouble. Headline: “Investment expert predicts surging food prices in US amid market turbulence from Iran conflict” LINK

    Meanwhile, Trump is claiming that his actions, overall, are helping the US economy and reputation, worldwide.

    -Yet Senator Rick Scott (who had top former staff during his Governorship of FLA soon lobby for the Honduran ZEDE pushers) says the classic line “Temporary pain” — how is there any pain, if Trump is being truthful about the US? Curious!

    WAR

    Trump is deploying over 2,000 marines to the Persian Gulf. How they will get close to Iran, one cannot fathom, how they will get supplied, one cannot fathom. What else they will do, perhaps targeting Kharg Island?

    **AND FOR THOSE INTERESTED! Here is a “FIRST-PART” overview of the logistical-tactical situation in the Middle East, as the US recklessly commits your cash (and the earnings of the unborn), to slaughtering innocent people in Iran…
    -FIRST, it certainly looks like Iraqi Shiite allies of Iran has shot down a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker (aerial refueling aircraft, often called a “135” or “KC-135”) over Iraq (they refuel there for safety, but, obviously, this isn’t working all that well). The US claims that two KC-135 tankers were involved in an incident; one crashed, the other landed safely. AND the U.S. military explicitly stated it was not due to hostile fire (e.g., from Iran or proxies) or friendly fire. This appears to be a lie. Majore news outlets have confirmed that six crew members were killed. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (an umbrella of Iran-backed militias) claimed responsibility, noting use of a surface-to-air missile or “appropriate weapon,” and said they targeted a second one (forcing an emergency landing). This was reported by Reuters, Al Jazeera, NY Post, and others. - FIVE days ago, Larry Johnson warned about the US air “power” vulnerability west of Iran, writing at SONAR21: “The US does not have air supremacy. The US and Israeli planes are flying close to Iran’s western border and releasing primarily the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile aka JASSAMs, which have a range between 230 and 600 miles depending on the variant (AGM-158A JASSM (baseline): ~370 km [230 miles] and AGM-158B JASSM-ER (Extended Range): ~980 km [610 miles]). I don’t know how many, if any, S300-S400 are deployed in Iran. Iran has reportedly shot down 29 MQ9s and Hermes drones since 28 February, which represents a financial loss of $800 million.”
    And those financial losses are tied to supply-chain problems - rooting all the way to manufacturing speed barriers. For example…
    -AWACS, aerial-borne platforms. Without those airborne radars, the US and Israel are blind. These are, incredibly expensive, in the hundreds of millions of dollars to build and run. And, they are incredibly difficult to replace. One of them was destroyed - directly, or indirectly - by Iran because it landed in the first week. In fact, reports note that it was destroyed by a drone. The US and Israelis still have airborn RADAR, but it has been badly hobbled.
    NEXT. The Patriot system and the THAAD systems, are jokes. And the mathematics of it don’t work out. A Patriot missile battery (also called a firing unit or fire unit) typically consists of up to 8 launching stations (launchers), though configurations can vary from 6 to 8 depending on the operator and mission requirements. The total number of missiles it can hold depends on the rocket variant (primarily PAC-2 vs. PAC-3 family) and the launcher type (e.g., M902 or modern M903).

    • For PAC-2 missiles (older, larger interceptors with one missile per canister): Each launcher holds up to 4 missiles → A full battery (8 launchers) can hold up to 32 missiles.

    • For PAC-3 CRI (Cost Reduction Initiative variant): Each launcher holds up to 16 missiles (4 canisters × 4 missiles each) → A full battery can hold up to 128 missiles.

    • For PAC-3 MSE (Missile Segment Enhancement, the most advanced and commonly referenced modern variant): Each launcher holds up to 12 missiles (due to the larger size of MSE missiles) → A full battery can hold up to 96 missiles. Mixed loads are possible (e.g., some launchers with 12 MSE + others with PAC-3 CRI for higher density), but pure MSE configurations top out around 96.

    Most modern U.S. and allied Patriot batteries prioritize PAC-3 MSE for ballistic missile defense, so the practical maximum loadout is often cited as around 96 missiles per battery (with 8 launchers × 12 MSE each). This is a significant increase over older PAC-2 setups but still limited compared to the sheer volume of threats in high-intensity conflicts. Replenishing the system (i.e., replacing expended missiles) is expensive due to the high unit cost of the interceptors. Costs vary by contract, procurement year, quantity, and whether it’s domestic U.S. procurement vs. export/Foreign Military Sales (which often includes extras like support, training, or logistics).

    • The PAC-3 MSE (current primary variant) has a unit cost of approximately $3.87 million to $4.2 million per missile based on recent U.S. Army FY2025–2026 budget documents and multiyear contracts (e.g., around $3.871 million in some Army procurement figures, up to $4.2 million in others). Export prices can reach $6–7 million per missile when including canisters, warranties, and full packages.

    • For a full battery reload assuming a pure PAC-3 MSE loadout (e.g., 96 missiles): This would cost roughly $370 million to $400 million at the lower-end unit price (96 × ~$3.9M), or higher with export premiums or additional support elements.

    • Note that replenishment isn’t just missiles— it can involve logistics, testing, and integration—but the dominant cost is the interceptors themselves. Production is ramping up significantly (e.g., Lockheed Martin aiming for 2,000 per year from ~600), driven by global demand from conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East - so, of course, we know the grand ol’ M-I is making lots of money off of death.

    (BTW, these figures are based on open-source defense analyses, U.S. budget justifications, and contractor reports as of 2026. Exact costs can fluctuate with inflation, contract specifics, and bulk discounts in large orders.)
    -Something important to note about PATRIOT systems… When those missiles are fired at a threat, an incoming missile, you’ve got to fire two of them. So, we can do the math. The US had 4,620 PAC-3 rockets, stockpiled and noted since 2015. Many of those were sent to Ukraine. Two each on each firing, that means 2,310. In the four-years of Russia v Ukraine, Russia has fired over 12K missiles, so, even if one were to think the US were wise in sending the PAC3s to Ukraine, the Russians outnumbered the PAC3 supply long ago. That makes one question how much remains in Ukraine? AND the US recently asked Ukraine to SELL systems back to the US so the US can send them to Israel. The US has depleted its supply in the Middle East. What I know from contacts in military intel in DC is that at least one of the US military bases in the Middle East, they are completely depleted. They have no more air defense.
    AND AIR SUPREMACY, as Hegseth claimed this week, and again claimed at his absurd presser this morning?

    -As Larry Johnson notes at SONAR21: “The US does not have air supremacy. The US and Israeli planes are flying close to Iran’s western border and releasing primarily the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile aka JASSAMs, which have a range between 230 and 600 miles depending on the variant (AGM-158A JASSM (baseline): ~370 km [230 miles] and AGM-158B JASSM-ER (Extended Range): ~980 km [610 miles]). I don’t know how many, if any, S300-S400 are deployed in Iran. Iran has reportedly shot down 29 MQ9s and Hermes drones since 28 February, which represents a financial loss of $800 million.”
    -The 5th Fleet US base in Bahrain is done. Prince Sultan bases is toast. Al Audid AFB is shut down. And MORE:

    and

    -Let’s look some more at Hegseth’s presser this morning. This was his repeat of the nonsense that the US slaughter in Minab was “being investigated”, and he stressed that ONLY IRAN targets civilians and the US doesn’t. (Ask the boaters near VZ, or the Japanese civilians in WWII, or Randy Weaver, or the people at WACO, or the Ukrainians that the CIA helped kill for the Maidan Coup, or the Russians that the US helped kill in Ukrainian-US-NATO attacks on trains, apartment buildings, and reservoirs.)

    Then, just moments later, he noted that the US would show no mercy, which is strange, because even the Geneva Conventions call for mercy to military opposition when they are captured or disarmed. And he wants the Zionist Ellisons to take over another news outlet. See this one…

    and…

    AND then there is the Ted Cruz, Trump narrative of a possible “sleeper cell” attack, which would work completely against Iranian interests.

    -Finally, let’s note that Iran IS allowing shipping of oil to India (and likely others), and, though the US hit a desalinization plant in Iran (a very wicked form of attack on civilians), Iran has not retaliated with the same in Israel. Iran has just under 100 such plants… LINK

    US ECONOMY

    -Trump has announced that he is waving his magic magisterial wand and “lifting” certain sanctions that the US has had in place against Russian energy. Here is the Hill on it Headline “Trump eases sanctions on Russian oil amid Iran conflict” LINK and CBS on it LINK
    -Gas Prices… “Map shows gas prices have risen above $3 a gallon in every US state — the first time since 2023” LINK
    PRICES - WHOOPS!

    -The 4th Quarter US GDP was HALF of what the Trump Administration originally tried to claim. Economist Heather Long puts it well: “Yikes. Big revision down to Q4 GDP data. Q4 GDP was a mere +0.7% (the initial estimate was +1.4%). The government shutdown really hurt growth. The key is consumer spending. It was 2% in Q4. That’s a clear slowdown from 3.5% in Q3, but it shows some resilience at the end of 2025 (though that will be tested this spring).”

    -Peter Earle, of AIER, offered key thoughts on the systemic burdens that are pushing the US financial sector towards the point of what likely will be another insane federal bailout (after the crash). Headline: ‘Is a Business Credit Crisis Imminent? - American Thinker’ LINK

    IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE

    Ya know how ICE is unconstitutional and immoral? And ya know how the kidnap victims often have not been allowed to exercise rights that the US judicial system is supposed to afford people, based on centuries of DUE PROCESS tradition and codification? AND… recall that a number of Congress members sued to be able to visit ICE detention prisons and a couple judges said, YEAH, to their requests? Look at this first post, then see the original post that inspired him, that original report that a MD ICE prison shipped all its captives to AZ before anyone get in to inspect. Seriously.
