Greetings, fellow Conspirators!

Immense thanks to all the fine folks who joined us to conspire for freedom and slice apart the news as it broke, as the US began what we expected -- another attack on Iran, after pushing the theatrics of a downed Apache chopper, a tale that smacked of fabrication from the start. Big thanks, also, to the fine journalists whose work we got to explore tonight.- Join us, m-f 6 PM on Rumble or on X, and get the audio pod shortly after each show, via Spotify or here at Substack! Here are some of the major items we got to discuss tonight! BTW, we got a great suggestion to put the contact info at the top in addition to the usual post at the close! Yes! You can donate to help the Liberty Conspiracy, itself! Just visit PayPal to help out! You also can mail GG at:

Mr. Itamar Ben-Gvir now adds kidnapping of women and kids to his open calls for mass slaughter and land seizure in Lebanon.

This, while he rightfully is the focus of an Italian investigation for his mistreatment of the Homuz Flotilla members Israel recently kidnapped, and many of whom claim of physical abuse at the hands of Gvir and the IDF.

Netanyahu now claims Israeli aggression over the last day came because Iran was going to launch nuclear weapons - weapons Trump claimed to stop Iran from developing, even though Iran was not developing them and only recently was given the defensive incentive to attempt that, if they have been dealing with Pakistan to acquire such a weapon.

Trump claims he will be able to declare “total victory” over Iran in two weeks. Here is the RT headline “Trump sets yet another timeline for ‘total victory’ in Iran — RT World News” and the link

——Buuuut…. Trump ALSO said YESTERDAY that the US and Iran were “near a deal” within two days (he has said this 37 times since February). AND… Since Trump also just claimed that the Iranians shot down an Apache helicopter where it was not supposed to be during a so-called “ceasefire” — that being a location over the Strait of Hormuz (more likely over the Strait of Oman), he already has shown that he is continuing his lying ways.

Now, in response to the Iranian response to the US aggression, Trump says the US will “respond”. Get it?

SO far, this is what we know re the downing of this chopper. Here is ANTIWAR on it… - The “downing” occurred near Oman’s coast… Trump and the US DoD claim Iran downed it with a Shaheed drone. This is unlikely because those drones stand little chance of taking down an apache at speed or close to it. Nonetheless, Trumpola, as we note above, has vowed that the US “must, of necessity, respond” to what he described as Iran shooting down the Army AH-64 Apache, but he has not announced or detailed any concrete military, diplomatic, or other steps yet. One wonders how the helicopter was shot down but the pilots survived. If the main rotor got hit, the chopper would drop like a rock and it would be hard for anyone aboard to jump because the rotors would still catch them. IF they were shot down and the rear rotor was hit, they could survive more easily. But why would Trump make such a big matter of this, if he truly wanted to get to his “deal”? He would downplay it. This is not a good sign that Trump is to believed about this new claim of pursuing and being close to a “deal”. And the News Establishment of the NYT reports that Iran and the US have negotiated nuclear portions of the “deal” - this, also, is bogus. Iran repeatedly has stated that such talks will come in months, AFTER a real ceasefire/end of hostilities. Here is Larry Johnson on it

Daniel Davis agrees. Here is the latest from Iran on the chopper and any potential US response.

Lt Col Karen Kwiatowski agrees that this story from the Trumpers smacks of an alternate intent, and adds key thoughts on Israel’s continued control over Trump, the US Congress, but Mario N offers another point to consider that I want to include to see what you think

And it does look like the Israelis will keep pummeling Lebanon, and Trump will do nothing about it, perhaps even using these murky “helicopter” events as shoehorns to let Israel continue its takeover of southern Leb - Here is more to the puzzle

This is dubious

This is more believable

Natali Morris, of Redacted (streaming live on YT and Rumble, m-th at 4 pm eastern US time) offers key thoughts about the Israeli announcement that the Palestinians trapped in Gaza “have enough food” and Israel will close the food shipments.
‘Israel has once again cut off humanitarian aid to Gaza, this time in response to Iranian missile strikes that followed Israel’s bombing of Beirut.
The missiles weren’t fired from Gaza, so why is Gaza the one being deprived of aid?
Israeli authorities announced the closure of the main border crossings used to bring food, medicine, and other humanitarian supplies into the territory.
COGAT released a statement claiming that “the closure of the crossings will not affect the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. The substantial quantities of food that have entered the Strip since the beginning of the ceasefire significantly exceed the nutritional needs of the population.”
That claim doesn’t square with what international agencies have been reporting.
According to the World Food Programme, at least 1.6 million people, about 77 percent of the population in Gaza, are facing acute food insecurity. Aid groups have warned that the amount of assistance entering Gaza has fallen well below what is needed to sustain the population.
This is why human rights organizations have repeatedly accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war. After all, if food, water, and medicine can be turned on and off whenever Israel wants to pressure or punish an entire population, what else would you call it?
At this point, Israel isn’t hiding anything. The crossings were closed openly and publicly in a plan to use two million civilians as leverage in a geopolitical dispute.
If history is any guide, there will be plenty of statements condemning this, but no action to actually stop it.’

Tis another example of the “ceasefire” - see? This, from RT “Israel attacks Lebanese city mentioned in Bible — RT World News” LINK

And… Headline “Judge rules ‘86 47’ protest flag is protected speech” LINK

David Knight yesterday mentioned that the Zionist, Israeli-backed “Foundation for the Defense of Democracy” are saying that the US population and government better be ready for a biiiiig influx of Israeli migrants.

Yet… The FDD also is well known as a big booster of ICE deportations of “other” migrants, sooo, yeah, that works (not). One wonders if they realize people can notice that… embers of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) have spoken in favor of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) actions within the US to deport illegal immigrants, particularly when framed through a national security lens. FDD, a national security-focused think tank, consistently ties immigration enforcement to counterterrorism, counterespionage, and border security. They do not appear to oppose interior enforcement in general and have criticized what they claim are lax deportation practices, calling them “security risks.” LINK

Key examples include:

• Craig Singleton (Senior Fellow and China Program Senior Director) has testified before Congress on the “unprecedented surge” in Chinese illegal immigration. He highlighted that many individuals with final deportation orders (nearly 10%, or about 100,000 in one period) are not actually removed due to non-cooperation from China and other issues. This testimony frames non-enforcement as a national security vulnerability, implicitly supporting stronger ICE/DHS interior enforcement and actual deportations to mitigate risks like espionage or influence operations.

• FDD has published supportive coverage of specific ICE interior actions. For instance, an FDD analysis reported positively on ICE’s arrest of a Columbia University student (Mahmoud Khalil) for activities “aligned to Hamas,” noting his potential green card revocation and deportation under Trump administration policies against anti-Semitism and terrorism support. Similar pieces back the deportation of individuals with Hezbollah ties (e.g., a Brown University professor denied entry and ordered removed).

• In FDD’s policy recommendations on Iran, the organization explicitly called for strengthening “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) interdiction efforts for persons of interest connected to the regime.”

HOME SALES WILL CONTINUE TO DIE this piece is “fair” but opens up the window to understanding that the market is over-saturated, loan rates are going to be high because the US government has to float bonds at higher returns due to the inflated currency and also because the fed might not be as inclined to lower the Fed Funds rate as it was a month ago. The lower they make the rate, the lower the borrowing rate would be, but the steeper the inflation rate. Here is some grist for the mental mill Headine “What will happen to home prices if mortgage rates stay high this year? Experts weigh in” LINK

SCOTT BESSENT claimed that manufacturing construction rose 17-19 percent in may (Scott Bessent on oil markets, manufacturing growth | Watch) - He made it up. The May data isn’t out from the BLM, and… during an appearance on Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria, stating that “manufacturing construction [is] up 17, 19%” in the context of gains in American manufacturing, factory-related jobs, and capital spending. No official U.S. government data supports a 17–19% increase in manufacturing construction for May (or the most recent reported month). In fact, the latest figures show the opposite trend. The Census Bureau’s monthly Value of Construction Put in Place report tracks spending on new manufacturing buildings and structures (seasonally adjusted annual rate, in millions of dollars). The most recent release covers April 2026 (data released June 1, 2026; May 2026 data is not yet available and is scheduled for early July):

• April 2026: $185,725 million

• March 2026: $188,009 million → −1.2% month-over-month

Remembering the US attack on VW-Audi

The odds of Mark Lynch beating Senator Lindsey Graham (i.e., winning the Republican nomination) are extremely low—roughly 1–2% according to real-time prediction markets.

This is the Republican primary for South Carolina’s U.S. Senate seat (Class II), held today, June 9, 2026. Graham is the four-term incumbent seeking a fifth term; Lynch is his strongest challenger (a Greenville businessman and appliance executive running as an “America First” conservative). Other candidates (Calvin Cowen, Thomas Dismukes, Patrick Herrmann, Darius Mitchell) are polling in low single digits.

• Recent polls (June 2026) consistently show Graham leading Lynch by a wide margin but hovering near or just above the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff (June 23):

  • Trafalgar Group (June 5–7): Graham 49%, Lynch 29%, other/undecided 22%.
