Iran and US on the brink? Curiously at mid-week, Witkoff ended up signaling to folks like Sean Hannity that they were on track to see Iran "allowed" enrichment of uranium to 3.67%, and what's curious about that is that is the exact same level that Obama had negotiated circa 2015 in what was called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), but Trump Admin One saw Trump not only

negate that agreement, but ridicule it! Here's what things looked like a few days ago... LINK!

US signals openness to 3.67 per cent enrichment cap in potential Iran nuclear deal

The United States and Iran have resumed indirect talks, over Iran’s nuclear programme, after President Trump warned of “great danger” if a deal isn’t reached. Both sides described the discussions as “constructive,” though major differences persist. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, speaking to Fox News, said Iran “does not need to enrich past 3.67 per

Background!

Restoring the JCPOA’s Nuclear Limits | Arms Control Association

A year after former U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and reimposed sanctions on Iran in violation of the deal, Iran began to breach limits under the accord.

www.armscontrol.org

Many anti-Iran hawks are upset by this, and yet they do not acknowledge that Iran always has been open to IAEA inspections, while Israel not only HAS nukes and will not allow inspections, it appears that in the 1960s Israel got some of the fissile material it used to build bombs via espionage against (and with) the US. Also, Jonathan Pollard (who was a spy for Israel, convicted of espionage against the US in the 1980s) was given a deal via negotiations with Israel, and flown back to Israel in a private jet owned by Trump's friend, now deceased, Sheldon Adelson... Since Witkoff's initial statement, he has walked things back, leaving us with this status between US and Iran LINK!

Witkoff in Apparent Reversal Says Iran Must Halt Nuclear Enrichment - MSN

“A deal with Iran will only be completed if it is a Trump deal,” Witkoff wrote in a post on X, adding that “Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program.”

www.msn.com

By the way, Iran won't agree to this. They just agreed to a new nuclear power cooperative with Russia earlier this week. I've been discussing this on the Liberty Conspiracy live show this last week. LINK! (Don't mind the headline, just hop a few graphs into the piece to see the nuclear energy facet - though Newsweek is not as detailed as RT has been in its video coverage of the agreement this week.)

Another big matter! Late Friday night, technically Saturday morning, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump MUST STOP the deportations w/o due process that he is doing under the so-called "Alien Enemies Act." As I've noted on the show, that act not only leaves a wide zone of ambiguity regarding a president making a "public proclamation" of an invasion occurring (meaning, what, that he can define it, or that Congress recognizes it and he proclaims it?) the more important problem of the act that makes it clearly unconstitutional is that it seems to allow the President to move into states and arrest people without being invited in (during a time of non War) by a state legislature or governor, per the CONSTITUTION in Article Four Section Four. He can't go into a state with federal militia (the original military, not ICE, not Border Patrol) unless invited in, and the feds also have no power over immigration, and IF foreigners are arrested for actual criminal activity within states, generally speaking it is supposed to be the states that do so, based on their statutes (there were supposed to be few federally-based crimes) and every suspect must be granted DUE PROCESS. Trump is not only not doing this, he intentionally is defying judge's opinions on this (the judicial branch has no enforcement power, of course) and intentionally is shipping people outside the US on the basis that in the Boumedienne SCOTUS decision of 2008, the SCOTUS found that any "enemy combatant" held on US soil (even soil outside the US but rented by it, like Gitmo) the apprehended people must be afforded habeas and Due Process. This is a very important matter, and Trump supporters are turning away from very clear constitutional rules here. Additionally, they are doing everything they can to depict Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a criminal, when he has never been found guilty of committing a crime and, now, has not been afforded due process or accused of having committed a crime against another person.

The SCOTUS members should step up and do the right thing, because the Constitution is clear. Right now, with this ruling, it's merely about procedural matters, not the actual, easily seen, way the Alien Enemies (Enemy Aliens) Act breaches Article Four, Section Four and breaches due process as well as assumes the feds have a power over immigration, which they do not.

And, again, because few people in the US (except, I think, the founder of the Future of Freedom Foundation, attorney Jacob Hornberger) acknowledge that the US has no constitutional purview over immigration, and this dominant ignorance not only sees many of the problems conservatives saw under Biden, but new Trump attack on the Bill of Rights and Article Four Sec Four. It also sees the "revocation of visas" Rubio and others seem to love, despite the fact that there is nothing in the US Constitution that give him or any other fed a "power to issue" or "revoke" visas, because federal "visas" aren't in the Constitution. Now, the feds also have added the threat of removing federal funding from colleges (not anything in the Constitution that allows the funding, in the first place, of course) if they don't crack down on what the US feds call "antisemitism" which has been redefined to fit the IHRA definition, which now includes criticism of the generic state of Israel's POLICIES or US handing weapons to Israel.

What is antisemitism? - IHRA

In the spirit of the Stockholm Declaration that states: “With humanity still scarred by …antisemitism and xenophobia the international community shares a solemn responsibility to fight those evils” the committee on Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial called the IHRA Plenary in Budapest 2015 to adopt the following working definition of antisemitism.

holocaustremembrance.com

The US Congress and Senate are embracing that with the "Antisemitism Awareness Act" and that runs completely contrary to the First Amendment, bc it has a bearing on so-called "civil rights" violations by Americans on a federal criminal level, and it is the leverage for this US attack on universities. The universities should not be getting the cash from the feds in the first place, but now the US is going further, as this major new story about Harvard indicates. Here TIS!

DHS threatens to revoke Harvard’s eligibility to host foreign students amid broader battle over universities’ autonomy - MSN

The Trump administration has significantly dialed up its pressure on Harvard University, not only freezing $2 billion in federal funding but now threatening its eligibility to host international ...

www.msn.com

Essentially, what the feds are threatening is to eliminate Harvard's role in offering foreign students the chance to be under that university umbrella as they get what is called "SEVP Certification" to be here as a "non-immigrant student". My old roommate, Sean Naylor, went to Boston University under this (a variation of it) and if it were revoked by the feds (the feds have no claim of power over foreigners studying in any state, it is up to the states) Sean would have been deported. Here is background. LINK!

Getting Started with SEVP Certification | Study in the States

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) delegated the school certification process to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and ICE assigned this responsibility to its Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). SEVP certification allows institutions to issue Forms I-20, "Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status," to prospective international students after ...

studyinthestates.dhs.gov

And this is an attachment to that story, going back to when the Trump Admin sent a letter demanding information on Harvard's DEI programs and other specifics re admissions and also demanding information on migrants being admitted. If the Biden Administration engaged in similar tactics while pushing its own agenda, I suspect conservatives would speak up. Meanwhile, few in the GOP or the D party bother talking about separating the universities from the tax money. LINK!

Tulsi Gabbard declassified an alarming Biden-Era plan that Trump's team seems to be mimicking with its attack on peace advocates on college campuses and its push for the Antisemitism Awareness Act.

The US is going to charge CHINESE SHIPS more to doc and bring in products. They claim this is to "revitalize" the US shipping industry. Again, a warped collectivist system sees a new collectivist central plan, targeting one kind of shipper and claiming control when the US Constitution does not "grant" such power. The US Congress can levy tariffs, but no "dock" control is in the Constitution, and this is just more targeted financial punishment that will, of course, harm US consumers. When Biden put on the jab mandate for shippers and truckers, many conservatives spoke up... How about this restriction on peaceful trade? This is mafia writ large. LINK!

The US and Iran engaged in their first phase of peace/arms-control negotiations. The US is, essentially, threatening to attack Iran unless Iran stops what the US claims is a nuclear weapons program. The US has not produced any evidence, and the International Atomic Energy Association regularly gets access to the Iranian nuke energy programs and reports that the nuclear fuel is not being refined to weapons-grade levels, but, instead, is being used to create nuclear energy systems. The US wants this ended, plus numerous Iranian defense systems already operational to be ended, and the US is threatening to bomb Iran and work with the Israeli government to "stop" the nuke-weapons program that is has never shown Iran to be working on... They also want massive decreases in conventional Iranian weapons. Here's the link.

Many people (I was among them) think or recently thought that Rubio was deporting people based on the "Alien Enemies Act" (itself, massively unconstitutional, and the SCOTUS did a disservice to the Constitution by only telling the Trump team that if they were going to use the 1798 statute they had to give Due Process - the actual ENTRANCE into the states without invitation is a major constitutional red flag). In fact, Rubio is trying to utilize a different statute, which, also, creates the same problem. Jacob Sullum covers his own angles as to why the statute is problematic on a constitutional level.

How generous of them. Not only have internal legal documents shown that TSA bureaucrats view their work as "security theater" and the internal measurements of "effectiveness" (like ABC News' exposes also revealed) show that the TSA not only allows the vast majority of "bomb-like" substances through the screenings, the TSA does not improve and it regularly violates the Fourth Amendment as a part of its existence. Now, they grant us the favor of allowing us more items to bring with us through the scans — but the Fourth Amendment is not among them. LINK!

This is quite interesting. I was unaware of the deeper conflict re the data.

However, there is more to the story. Marks left after refusing to grant Kennedy team unrestricted access to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database. Marks asserted that such access could lead to manipulation or deletion of sensitive data, which includes unverified reports of vaccine-related adverse events submitted by the public.

REAL ID... The feds of both parties have been pushing it for years, threatening to withhold "highway funds" (unconstitutional pork), then telling people that if their state government doesn't comply, they, as individuals, will not be allowed to fly over any of the US or its territories. The REAL ID concept is brazenly unconstitutional, asserting a prior restraint against peaceful movement and against freedom of association/contract. Whatever rationale the feds might try to offer is of zero consequence, because rationales do not justify breaking the US Constitution. LINK!

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announces everyone will need a REAL ID to fly starting MAY 7.

With this ruling, the Khalil case stands between the horns of a dilemma created by two courts. This LA court ruling says, "Why bother with the Constitution? Sure, deport him..." While another judge ruled a few days ago that the feds can continue to try to remove him by arguing in the NJ court, but he must be afforded Due Process, and even Rubio's own two-page submission to the court admitted no criminal wrong doing (as noted by Sullum in the Reason piece, Rubio says they don't need to cite real wrongdoing, the feds can claim "national security" - that amorphous term they can use to mean virtually anything, even the term to shut down TikTok - or "adverse foreign policy consequences.".)

NEW YORK (AP) — Facing a deadline from an immigration judge to turn over evidence for its attempted deportation of Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, the federal government has instead submitted a brief memo, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, citing the Trump administration’s authority to expel noncitizens whose presence in the country damages U.S. foreign policy interests.

Here is a follow-up to what I mentioned two weeks ago, re the Trump move to open acreage to logging. The move is based on two Executive Orders, but the EO's cover land the US is not supposed to own, and which no constitutional provision allows the US government to manage. People MAY want more logging and better husbandry of the land, but that is a state and local/private matter. Here is the link!

Here is an example of where an idea goes off the proverbial rails. This Idaho legislation is quite valid when it applies to government entities, but not to private businesses. Business owners, employees, and customers all should be able to operate under their own standards and work with each other based on their own volition. Unless a business owner changes a work environment contrary to an agreed-upon contract, he or she should be free to produce and enforce any standard, and employees can do the same - likewise for customers, who are the final employers. To tell the normative "employer" that he or she cannot mandate jabs or hats, or anything else, as a condition of employment is to curtail free will and freedom, and could be flipped to say that the state can tell potential employees that they MUST agree to be jabbed, or must not, as a condition before they can take a job, or that a consumer only can trade with a seller under certain conditions set by the state.

This is a spot-on analysis of Trump’s tariff policy, on politicians turning blind eyes to the balance of trade (which is ALWAYS part of free trades among consenting individuals), and on the fakery of Trump’s claims re the levels of tariffs imposed by foreign governments. The point he makes about the power of a monetary unit influencing how much foreign goods that unit can buy, and how both Trump and foreign nations are starting to push for inflationary monetary policies as ways to prop up their exports. Bad mojo.
