Well, the President of the US just got himself a religious war in addition to a mass murder and an economic black hole.
Trump decided to recognize the authority of Benjamin Netanyahu rather than the US Constitution. Trump claims the head of the Ayatollah. Well, the Iranians had a publicly announced succession program. The Revolutionary Guard Council will meet to assign a permanent replacement to the Ayatollah. That would take some time, but apparently, they had an immediate replacement chain of command in the event that any of the senior leaders were killed.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the president, Pazeskian, is still safe. He still is in some undisclosed location and apparently was not with the Ayatollah when that missile strike came in. Now, President Trump is trying to exploit this situation by saying, in essence, “Listen, Iranian soldiers… I want to give you guys a reason to quit.” So, he is inviting the IRGC to give up. Well, they are defending their homes, families, history… Hamas has never given up. Hezbollah hasn’t given up. Trump has opened the lid on a box of confusion and death, economic ruin, and protracted war without a Declaration of War.
Iran is a country of 90 some million people. The country has all kinds of terrain and all kinds of underground capabilities. Many reports have said they had anywhere from maybe 2,000 high-capability, medium and long-range missiles and probably thousands of others of the medium and short-range versions, not to mention the tens of thousands, presumably, of the Shaheed drones.

Mike Pompeo was on Fox News Saturday afternoon, when some of these reports first started surfacing that the Ayatollah had been knocked out. He had this to say:
“It is almost certain that whoever’s left leading the IRGC will try to take over that country. They own some 20% of the resources there. So it’s a commercial enterprise in addition to the largest exporter of terror in the world. So they will have significant power and ownership assets, things that they have. I’ll bet none of them trust each other, right? They don’t know which guy standing next to them might be part of Mossad. There’s no capacity for them to continue to organize and meet and do the things necessary to lead a team forward. And so I suspect you’ll start to see some of them fall away. And as the Iranian people push and they lose confidence in their capacity to be a unit, I think there’s a real opportunity. It’s why we have to continue to apply pressure, take down all of their capacity, their missiles, all the capabilities, including their capacity to reorganize and the IRGC to regenerate.”
Yep. That was Mike Pompeo. Lying about “terror exports” and letting us know that he is tied to Israeli intel, as he did two months ago. He offered his drivel before we saw it confirmed that the Ayatollah has been killed. And Pompeo was saying, in essence, “This is probably going to cause a lot of the IRGC to fall away. President Trump said, ‘Hey, you guys should all give up and come in before y’all get killed.’”
Do Americans remember what happened in the United States on 9-11, 2001 (the only difference being that the US government facilitated the 9-11 attacks, in most likelihood)?
Iran has been attacked in the same way that American civilians were attacked on 9-11, the same way that Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7th, 1941, the same way that Poland was attacked on September 1st, 1939. A totally unjustified, illegal, immoral attack.
What has happened is that this US-Israeli attack has united the Iranian people, not divided them. Of course, there could be a few that are on the payroll of the United States and Mossad who are celebrating, but they’re a tiny minority. In fact, prior to this, the last actual legitimate poll that had been done showed 75% of the Iranians supported the Islamic regime. That number is probably close to 90% now. Because not only was this vile, vicious...
It was done at a time that Iran, despite the lies told by the Trump administration, Iran was willing to negotiate, ready to negotiate, to ensure that they didn’t have a nuclear weapon. And follow the logic here. The one guy in Iran that has said consistently for 35 years, if we get a nuke, that’s an act of evil. We cannot get a nuke. That would be the Ayatollah Khamenei.
So let me see if I got this straight. Trump kills the guy who doesn’t want Iran to have a nuke. Brilliant policy move, there.

Now, what are conditions like as we go to print this morning? RT reports on the number of US dead after Iranian retaliation against bases throughout the Middle East. Headline: “US military suffered 200 casualties in retaliatory strikes – Tehran — RT World News” LINK
201 estimated killed by the US-Israel in Iran. 148 children (mostly, but there also were teachers who died) murdered by Trump and US-Israeli soldiers at the girls’ elementary school in Minab (nearly 70 wounded).
Here is what Ben Shapiro thinks of that:
https://x.com/infolibnews/status/2027911283811488213?s=20
Now, have no fear, because the Dems got their gumption and pushed for a “War Powers” resolution to be brought to a vote NEXT WEEK. As we Friday mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy, that was an intentional delay, giving pro-aggression Dems the cover to claim they oppose Trump taking any unilateral action, while NOT STOPPING HIM, then, when the Prez already has acted and the fighting has started, when he SHOULD BE IMPEACHED (they could have and should have, long ago), they can vote to say, “OK. We can’t pull back now, it would be too dangerous!”

Welcome, fellow Conspirators…
During the American night, US forces unconstitutionally complied with Donald Trump’s unconstitutional and immoral orders to kinetically attack the residents of Iran. One of their first targets was an elementary school in which, since this was daytime in Iran and the start of their work week, children were packed. Estimates put the death toll there, between children and adult school employees, at 102. Across the 31 provinces in Iran, the death toll is estimated to be approximately 201 people. Did these dancing Israelis know what their government did to those children?
https://x.com/infolibnews/status/2027794787315707965?s=20
As Reason Magazine’s Nick Gillespie notes: “Trump has explicitly started a regime change 'war'--his word--without congressional authorization and no credible evidence of an imminent threat against America or Americans. Such an action is indefensible--and I hope MAGA joins in the protest against such illegal actions.”
Iran quickly responded, launching rockets and drones into Israel and into numerous other nations that host US military bases, and announcing that the Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED. That shuts down nearly 30% of the world trade of oil and 20% of natural gas shipments. The Iranian government also launched retaliatory rocket (ballistic missile) and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), though there are some reports of Iranian arms hitting a few civilian sites.
The US and Israeli leaderships claim that they have killed Ayatollah Khamenei.
Saudi Arabia explicitly noted that it had refused to allow its airspace or territory to be used for attacks on Iran prior to the conflict, positioning itself as not initially supporting the U.S.-Israeli strikes.
This, coming on the heels of Donald Trump claiming he wanted to engage in “talks” and “diplomacy” with the nation-state he was bullying, despite JD Vance reiterating that, and despite the Iranian government proffering an offer that the Foreign Minister of Oman mentioned on television. The Trump Admin again has deceived people with talks of peace, and, for the politically minded here in the US, his aggressive act not only should see him impeached, it likely will see the GOP lose their vaunted control of the House and Senate.

And despite all the MAGA and pro-ZION Democrat rhetoric about Iran being some kind of evil, terror-spreading, aggressive state, the US overthrew the elected government there in 1953, installed the brutal Shah (they seem to want to install his son to control Iran, now) and repeatedly has worked with Israel to attack Iran, assassinate people in Iran, impose trade blocks, and even sabotage Iranian nuclear power facilities. Saber-rattlers in the US try to mix the US embassy hostage situation from the 1970s into their larger narrative that Iran is a terror-state. Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, Iran has not directly attacked the US. One way to gin-up support in America for this bloodbath in the Middle East? Many MAGA and many Dems might say that Iran was behind the bombing of the Lebanon-based US Marine barracks in October of 83. Iran was not behind that. That was Amal… Amal was a Lebanese Shia group that developed, set up, and started organizing back in 1972, seven years before there was an Islamic Republic in Iran. But what we do know for sure is that the United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to attack Iran back in 1980, and then provided the chemical precursors used to make chemical weapons, which killed a minimum of 250,000 Iranians. And then Americans sit there and run. Why do they chant, hate to America, death to America? Why don’t they like us?
Because the US government helped kill a quarter of a million Iranians.
The US now claims that its aggression has killed the Ayatollah. This likely will be inconsequential when it comes to Iranian governance.
But, before we go, let’s note the dark fact that Trump is proudly claiming that he killed… The man who held up a Fatwah against nuclear weapons development and use by Iran…
We will return with more tomorrow. Thank you for caring about peace and honesty.

Donald Trump had just posted on Truth Social what appears to be a justification for war with Iran, claiming Tehran tried to interfere in the 2020 and 2024 U.S. elections. Earlier, in a speech, he said Iran posed an “imminent threat” to Americans which necessitated toppling the regime.

In a video posted to Truth Social early Saturday morning, President Donald Trump announced the beginning of military operations against Iran. Trump called on the Iranian people to rise up and seize power from their government. The President also stated that the war may result in American soldiers being killed….”

-Tom Cotton spouts the same drivel as Graham, almost word-for-word
The non-diplomacy of the US telling Iranian officials how their defense will work and how their nuclear energy program will function appears to have been rejected by the Iranian government.
-As Dave Decamp points out, US embassy staff/visitors are being told to flee.
-Bolton is disgusting.
-So is Graham
-This Daniel Davis Deep Dive is VERY valuable re the US threats against Iran
-Here is Trump in 2020… BTW, as you likely know, only Post Roads are constitutional
-The changing White House narrative has seen them claim that Iran was working on “nukes”, implying nuclear weapons, which is false, to “helping the protesters” (many of whom are tied to the CIA, NED, USAID, and Mossad), to nukes again, and now, to “ballistic missile threats” meaning that Iran cannot have missiles for defense, even though it has not invaded and occupied mile after mile of the Middle East the way Israel has.

IMMIGRATION POLICE STATEThe controversy over ICE busting into a Columbia U dorm is getting a lot more attention… Headline: ‘ICE arrests Columbia student, Shipman says agents lied to enter University-owned residence’ LINK And here is the interim university Prez, Claire Shipman (formerly of CNN), with a powerful statement about it. She could be more powerful by mentioning that the feds have no constitutional so-called “power” to police immigration and that the feds also have no “power” to send tax money to universities. The student, Elmina Aghayeva, has been released. But will she be pushed out of the US? LINK
And…
And Nurul Shah Alam, the legally blind man we last night discussed who lost his life after he was kidnapped by ICE then released on the cold streets of Buffalo, has been seen in a security video recorded hours before he was found dead. It shows the spot where ICE deposited him with nothing but the clothes on his back.

US ECONOMYThe Chinese government continues to steer clear of US Debt instruments
They are wise to avoid the US “Dollar”…
THE SAVE ACTAs we have noted, the SAVE act, which would require ID-proof-of-citizenship to vote, is not entirely constitutional, since it also would apply to Presidential elections, the arrangement of which is left to the states (the process of “chuusing” their Electors to attend and vote in the Electoral College). However, this post reflects the deceptive behavior and statements of this politician, which evokes, surely, thoughts of other deceptive and venal politicians
VACCINES N’ THE FEDS VERSUS FREEDOMChildren’s Health Defense keeps offering timely reports, and this is valuable both for the early notice it provides, but also for the window it allows us to open on what some people might accept, due to normalcy bias. Headline: “COVID Vaccine Injuries to Take Center Stage at Upcoming ACIP Meeting • Children’s Health Defense” LINK
…What is the ACIP? Ahh, yes, this is where we can see the ugly accretion of government largess and preference, diktat and rent-seeking, as Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon…
ACIP stands for the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. It is a federal advisory committee under the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The committee consists of medical and public health experts who develop evidence-based recommendations on the use of vaccines and immunizations for the civilian population in the United States. These include guidance on vaccine schedules (for children/adolescents and adults), appropriate timing, dosages, target populations, precautions, and contraindications. Once adopted by the CDC director (and sometimes the Secretary of Health and Human Services), ACIP recommendations become official federal policy, published in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), and influence immunization practices, insurance coverage, school requirements, and clearly unconstitutional and immoral programs like Vaccines for Children. The linked article discusses an upcoming ACIP meeting on March 18-19, where topics are scheduled to include COVID-19 vaccine injuries and the committee’s recommendation methodology. It frames this in the context of recent changes to ACIP membership under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (appointed in 2025), suggesting a shift toward scrutinizing past approvals and vaccine safety claims. ACIP was created in March 1964 by the U.S. Surgeon General (as part of the U.S. Public Health Service) to provide ongoing, systematic expert advice on immunization policy. This came in response to rapid vaccine developments (e.g., polio, measles) and the need for consistent national guidance beyond ad hoc committees. Its first meeting occurred in May 1964. The committee has evolved significantly since then, including designation as a formal federal advisory committee in 1972 under the Federal Advisory Committee Act. — SO, as we can see, the ACIP grew as the DC claims of control over medicine and the feedback loop of “regulation” to the benefit of big political donors, grew. None of it is constitutional, and none of it is moral. The free market is the only place where we can show what we value, and where standards can be created through voluntary interaction.

WARUS-CUBAThe unconstitutional and immoral US blockade of Cuba (a mafia threat against us, and anyone wanting to engage in peaceful interaction with people in Cuba) turned immediately deadly, as US sailors opened fire at the same time they entered “Cuban waters” Here is one of the manipulative and not-quite-explicitly-right headlines ‘Foreign nation strikes US speedboat in Caribbean killing four’ LINK … To offer more valid info: A Florida-registered speedboat carrying 10 people—identified by Cuba as Cuban nationals living in the US—entered Cuban territorial waters near Cayo Falcones (or Falcones Cay) on Cuba’s northern coast, about one nautical mile offshore in Villa Clara province. Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior stated that Cuban border guard troops approached the vessel for identification. At that point, the crew of the speedboat allegedly opened fire on the Cuban personnel first, injuring the commander of the Cuban boat. Cuban forces then returned fire, resulting in four people on the speedboat killed and six wounded (who were detained). The boat was reportedly carrying weapons including assault rifles, handguns, homemade explosives, bulletproof vests, telescopic sights, and camouflage uniforms. CURIOUSLY, THE CUBANS DID NOT COMMAND THAT THE MEN ALL BE KILLED TO ELIMINAT WITNESSES, THE WAY US FORCES HAVE COMMANDED THEIR MILITARY BEHAVE IN THE CARIBBEAN AND EASTERN PACIFIC.
IRAN-As the bully, the constant threatener called the US engages in demands and calls that “diplomacy”, the propaganda phase continues as the set-up appears for escalation. First, the insane argument that, somehow, it is IRAN, not the hegemonic, Zionist-Committed-Genocide, assassination, coup, color-revolution, CIA, USAID, NED international drug-running, drug-war-canard pushing, pipeline destroying, ISIS supporting nation-state of the US and Israel-UK-EU-NATO that are the biggest proven threats worldwide for the last fifty years.

WARLet’s begin with this…Headline: “Pentagon appeals order blocking punishment for Kelly” LINK and…
IRANThis analysis, from Daniel Davis and Larry Johnson, offers heretofore not-discussed tactical problems for the US forces Trump funded with your money to travel towards Iran and threaten the people and the government. Both men oppose the action for moral and constitutional reasons, as well, but the details Larry offers here show us that either Trump has set up the US military to be incredibly vulnerable and unable to get fuel within hours of trying to attack, or he is engaging in a giant show to try to get Iran to capitulate to his insane threats re nuclear power and disconnect from Hezbollah and Hamas.
-In his SOTU speech and via multiple Trump avatars, Mr. Orange Julius claimed that Iran will not agree to not pursue a nuclear weapon. These claims are falsified by the facts. Under the JCPOA, Iran agreed to be open to inspections by the IAEA, and to be “allowed” to develop nuclear power for civilian energy uses, but the US did not keep its bargain,
-AND, to remind Mr. Trump. The US already HAD a deal with Iran, but broke it at the behest of Israel in order to gaslight Iran and lie. On May 8, 2018, Trump announced that the United States was withdrawing from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal. This was a unilateral decision by the U.S. administration, despite the deal remaining in place for the other signatories (Iran, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, China, and the EU). Trump described the JCPOA as a “horrible one-sided deal” that failed to adequately address Iran’s nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile program, or regional activities. He cited Israeli intelligence revelations about Iran’s past nuclear “weapons” research ( - loaded with lies, presented by Prime Minister Netanyahu shortly before the announcement) as evidence that Iran had not fully disclosed its activities, though the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) continued to report that Iran was in compliance with the deal’s nuclear restrictions at that time and for the entire next 18 months. Don’t tell these Dems…
-And Congresswoman Frankel (D-ZION/FLA) openly began chatting with Mr. NED-regime-change-like-diapers man to enjoy a moment of truth about the US supplying oodles of Starlinks to Iranian rebels working with the US and Mossad.
-And this exchange between Daniel Davis and Douglas MacGregor is valuable, from the start, on the false fears of Iran being pushed in DC, to the logistical problems any US attack on Iran faces.
This is a pretty good little AI creation

ISRAEL - GENOCIDE MACHINEThis move by the US State Department (you know, which is preventing many foreigners from entering the US and is imposing so-called “Sanctions” on Francesca Albanese and 11 of the members of the ICJ) is open to provide passport services to Zionist occupiers of the West Bank. Seriously.
UKRAINENumerous news outlets are reporting that European Union mucky-mucks are saying they WILL NOT insert western troops into any post-war Ukraine without Russian approval. Headline: “West won’t deploy troops to Ukraine without Russian approval – Telegraph — RT World News” LINK
-Jeffrey Sachs offers key thoughts on this, the 4th anniversary of the Russian deployment into Ukraine (after Ukraine’s government for years engaged in a murderous campaign to kill ethnic Russians in much of eastern Ukraine, and after the US spent decades prior to that using Ukraine and other forces in other Iron Curtain nations to try to weaken Russia’s government and surround western Russia.

US WAR SPENDING AND ITS ABSURD DOUBLE-SPEAKERSPete Hegseth Monday night appeared at a defense contractor’s site as part of his seven-week-long “Arsenal of Freedom” tour. No word as to whether they offered t-shirts, but the VIP (Violent-Incorporated-Parasite) attendees get plenty of our tax cash, as, yep, Hegseth talks about cutting waste and favoritism from the $1.5 TRILLION, mass-murdering, internationally-threatening, US military. The audio here is not direct from his mic, but check out his foolish statement to the corporate-military leeches.
AND… Pete Hegseth is threatening to use government authority—via the Department of Defense—to pressure Anthropic into complying with Pentagon demands on AI usage. Multiple credible reports from February 24 (following a meeting between Hegseth and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei) describe an ultimatum delivered during a tense Pentagon discussion. Hegseth gave Anthropic until Friday, February 27, to remove or loosen key safeguards on its Claude AI model—specifically those preventing autonomous lethal weapons (e.g., fully AI-targeted strikes without human oversight) and mass domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens. The threats include:
Canceling Anthropic’s existing ~$200 million Defense Department contract.
Labeling the company a “supply chain risk,” which could blacklist it from future U.S. military work and force other defense contractors to sever ties.
Invoking the clearly unconstitutional Defense Production Act (DPA)—a statute allowing the government to compel private companies to prioritize or modify production for national security needs—to force Anthropic to grant broader military access or tailor its models, overriding the company’s voluntary restrictions.
These steps represent coercive use of federal power: one path punishes non-compliance by cutting off business and market access, while the other escalates to direct compulsion under emergency wartime-style authority (though the DPA has rarely been applied this way to tech firms). Anthropic has held firm on its “red lines,” with sources indicating no plans to budge, framing the standoff as resistance to unrestricted military AI applications. Reports across outlets (Axios, CNN, Reuters, NPR, AP, The Washington Post, and others) consistently portray this as heavy-handed pressure from the government, not mere negotiation. Some describe the meeting tone as cordial but firm, with Hegseth unwilling to let a private company “dictate” military terms. Public discussion on X echoes this, with users calling it bullying, threats of nationalization-like seizure, or escalation risking broader precedents for government overreach in AI.
Amodei has been vocal and firm about his strong opposition to allowing the company’s AI models (particularly Claude) to be used by the US government or military for fully autonomous targeting and killing of people—meaning systems where AI makes final lethal decisions without meaningful human oversight or intervention.
As we reported last night, the federal government has withdrawn its plan to buy a warehouse in Merrimack, NH, to install an ICE cage. This will be disappointing for the warehouse owner, who is a BIG NH GOP supporter and has helped Governor Kelly Ayotte get elected. But it is likely that the DHS will try some other maneuver, such as opening a detention cage near the ole Pease AFB near the seacoast of NH. Headline: “US halts plan for ICE facility in New Hampshire, governor says” LINK
House Seargent at Arms Goons forcibly removed Aliya Rahman from the House Chamber during Trump’s State of the Onion, adding insult and injury to her ICE-inflicted injury inflicted in Minneapolis last month. The reason? They said she was “standing” during the speech.
EPSTEIN FILES-Ro Khanna is sounding the alarm re the Trump-tied Epstein files being hidden.
Some more to consider, on the diff btwn the UK political fallout and the US political fallout…

TRUMP’S STATE OF THE ONIONSome minor items… Added to what we saw re the Sergeant at Arms grabbing Aliya Rahman.
-First, we have the Sgt gang removing Congressman Al Green (D-TX) LINK Al was holding a sign that read, “Black people are not apes” in reference to the low-life cartoon Trump released online that depicted Barack Obama and Michelle O as simians. The fact that Obama is a war criminal was not important to Trump, evidently, it was Obama’s race that seemed to be the pivotal point. Astounding.
-But Howard Lutnick strolled in and shook hands with the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, showing us how two dishonest men (Roberts frequently has broken his oath to his grand US Constitution, esp when it came to hearing the case on ObamaCare) can get along in a den of thieves.

-Trump repeatedly said that America was “winning”. He even did a kind of spontaneous act, a performance, acting out people who, he claimed, weren’t used to America winning so much. Perhaps his definition of Americans winning is different from reality.
