Israel takes itself off life support: Second Quarter: 2026

April 01, 2026: April Fool’s Day. And what better day for Donald Trump to address the nation on his war for Israel against Iran? Full disclosure: I didn’t watch it. Synopsis from commentators I listen to is that Trump says US is winning (false), US has obliterated Iran’s capacity to fight (false), controls Iranian airspace (false), is in negotiations with Iran (false), Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism (false,that would be Israel and the United States), Iran is working on a nuclear weapon (was false until February 28, 2026 when Israel killed Ayatollah Khamenei who had issued a fatwah decades ago forbidding Iran from building nuclear weapons), and as always, Donald Trump is just great. No acknowledgement of the world-wide  upheaval his war for Israel has caused and will continue to cause in terms of economy, food shortages, energy supplies & infrastructure, technological disruptions, and death. Trump claims to want peace in this speech, says war will be over in a few weeks, and in the same speech threatens to bomb Iran back into the stone age. Many commenters remark on how mentally and physically impaired Trump appears.  Iranian response to Trump not long in coming: Iran launched wave 90, 3 phase missiles. Destroyed Amazon Data Center in Bahrain. Continues pounding Israel and any Gulf state supporting Israel/US at will, Iranian Foreign Minister affirmed yet again, no negotiations between Iran and US have taken place, neither directly nor indirectly.

April 01,2026: Some 2,000 US sailors stationed in Bahrain were evacuated with no advance notice. They were allowed one kit bag and told to get on the plane. Flown to Norfolk, Virginia in such a rush, there were no quarters in place for them so they’re being put up by local Norfolk families and surrounding communities.

April 5, 2026: Israelis block Christians from Easter Services at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Church was built on the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Reports are this is the first time Christians are banned since the Church was built in 1048. Because of worldwide outrage at Israel closing the Church, the Jews let in a few clergy but kept nearly all Christian worshipers out. https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-closure-holy-sepulchre-manoeuvre-no-faith-safe-occupation

April  2026: As noted elsewhere, the Jewish state has also banned Muslims from Al Aqsa Mosque, third holiest site in Islam, during Muslim high holy month of Ramadan. Al Aqsa closed “until further notice”. 

April 5, 2026: Israel supported Jewish terrorists burn Palestinian farms and vehicles in the West Bank. 

April 7, 2026: Two-week ceasefire agreed to by Iran and US, brokered by Pakistan.

April 7, 2026: Iran severs all direct diplomatic ties with Washington DC after Trump threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization.

April 8, 2026: Trying to sabotage ceasefire deal based on Iran’s 10-point proposal that was brokered just yesterday by Pakistan between US and Iran, Israeli terrorists bomb Beirut without warning, launched a major bombing campaign in Lebanon, massacring over 300 innocent people with at least 1,165 wounded. Nearly all of them civilians. One of Iran’s 10 key points was that Israel had to stop attacking Lebanon. US/Trump had agreed to this but Netanyahu, who is clearing running US policy in the war now claiming Lebanon was supposed to be part of the ceasefire. Iran responds by closing Strait of Hormuz.

April 8, 2026: Marc Thieson at the Washington Post publishes article calling for US to kill Iran’s entire Peace Negotiating Team. A war crime.

April 9, 2026: How many ways can Israel and the US government destroy ceasefire talks before they start?
*
US sends JD Vance to talk ceasefire in Pakistan. Couple things here: On his way to Islamabad, Vance makes a statement at a stopover in Budapest where he claims that the Iranians “misunderstood” that the ceasefire was to include Lebanon. [eg, Iran misunderstood the 10-point plan they themselves wrote].
*Vance called a publicized version of the plan as little more than, “a random yahoo in Iran submitting it to public television.”
*The Iranians don’t want Witkoff and Kushner at the negotiations, since those two already betrayed Iran twice during negotiations, but apparently Vance is bringing them with him.
*White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Iran’s original 10-point plan “was literally thrown in the garbage” by Trump’s team. She also said, “The idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd.”
*
JD Vance brought his pregnant wife to the negotiations. (who does that?).
*At the same time Vance was wasting the day in Islamabad, Donald Trump went to a mixed martial arts cage match with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. (Trump was booed by the crowd.)

*Israel sabotaged the peace talks. Where Obama administration negotiated 20 months to achieve nuclear deal with Iran JD Vance ‘negotiated’ one day then left Pakistan in humiliation of the United States. Vance did nothing but push the Israeli agenda. In addition to all its other demands, Israel [which isn’t supposed to be part of the negotiations] is now saying that even if Iran gives up all its enriched uranium, scraps the whole program, and lets in inspectors, that’s not enough because Iran still has the knowledge to start over so Israel demands access to all Iran’s tunnels so they can see what’s there. Iranian negotiators were well prepared, sent their best people. Vance was unprepared, unprofessional and couldn’t answer simple questions without calling for instructions. While he was in Pakistan Vance called Trump 11 times. His calls were monitored by Israeli assets  Witkoff and Kushner. Vance also called Israeli PM Netanyahu during this time. In fact, Netanyahu told the Israeli press that Vance “Reported to me in detail, as the whole Trump Administration does every day.”

*In response to Israeli and US claims that Lebanon isn’t part of the ceasefire, Iran’s Parliament  Speaker Mohammad Qalibaf said, “Lebanon and the entire Resistance Axis, as Iran’s allies, form an inseparable part of the ceasefire.” Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sherif  “publicly and clearly stressed the Lebanon issue, there is no room for denial and backtracking.” He also warned that “Ceasefire violations carry explicit costs and STRONG response.”

15 April, 2026: Pakistan trying to get US/Iran negotiations that Israel derailed going again. US says negotiations are on. Iran–having been betrayed twice by US during negotiations with Kushner and Witkoff– says it has not agreed to go. 

15 April, 2026: In case there was still any doubt the US isn’t serious about peace negotiations, National Embarrassment and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent announces announces “Operation Economic Fury” against Iraqi resistance groups, claiming they’re supported by Iran. Resistance groups are specifically included in the 10-point Iranian proposal, which Donald Trump, two weeks ago, called “a workable basis on which to negotiate.”

19 April, 2026: Another unqualified-for-the-job Trump sycophant, UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, announces “the President is prepared to escalate to deescalate.”

19, 20,21 April, 2026: With the 2-week ‘ceasefire’ due to expire in two days:, 1) first we hear JD Vance would lead a delegation to Pakistan for negotiations with Iran. 2) Then Trump announces JD Vance won’t be going to Pakistan after all. Instead, Trump will send his Jewish son-in law Jared Kushner, and Jewish real estate mogul Steve Witkoff. These are the same two who betrayed Iran twice before by setting up sham negotiations then Israel and US bombed Iran during the negotiations. Iran wants nothing to do with them. 3) Wait, now Vance will go. 4) Wait again, on Tuesday we hear the delegation hasn’t left Washington because Iran still hasn’t agreed to attend.  5) With no off-ramp, and no one to talk with, Trump unilaterally extends cease fire. 

++ April 20, 2026: Viral video goes world wide. Jewish state invaders desecrate a Christian village in Southern Lebanon. They  knocked down a life-size statue of Jesus. The video is one of the Jewish terrorists smashing Christ’s face in with a sledge hammer.

As always with the Jewish state, it’s all about themselves. Israeli newsman on I24 says: “This does not look good at all for the Israelis and it’s gonna be circulating online in the US as well. We know who will take advantage of this.” the IRGC and Hezbollah.

April 22, 2026: Former Ambassador Chas Freeman on Judge Napolitano says US and Israeli have sustained far more damage than their governments admit to. US started the war with no strategy and without means to sustain the fight. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been left out of negotiations but keeps aping Israeli demands that are non-starters for Iran. Chas says Iran has put forth 3 proposals:
1) General peace–not a ceasefire–with guarantees that Israel/US won’t attack them again. When that is achieved,
2) Iran and Oman will sit down to discuss how the Strait of Hormuz will be opened and managed. When that is achieved:
3) Then Iran will be willing to discuss their nuclear program.
Meanwhile, the US is still blockading Iran which is an act of war and illegal under international law. The blockade is compromising the world’s fertilizer and energy supplies. It has no support anywhere in the world except Israel. Chas notes that under the US sponsored nuclear non-proliferation agreement, which Iran is a party to, Iran has the right to nuclear enrichment for civilian purposes. Under the  Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) Iran has lived up to its end. Trump tore up the JCPOA.

25 April, 2026: Israeli Defense Minister/Zionist fanatic Israel Katz: Worth quoting at length to show by his own words that he’s pulling the US not just into war but into war crimes, that Israel is not even pretending to support US peace negotiations, and what wacky propaganda Israelis are lapping up: “Israel is preparing for the renewal of war against Iran. The IDF is ready both defensively and offensively and the targets have been marked. They are waiting for green light from the United States, first and foremost, in order to complete the elimination of the Khameni dynasty–the initiator of the annihilation plan against Israel, and the successors of the Iranian terror regime’s leadership. In addition, the goal is to return Iran to the age of darkness and stone by blowing up the main energy and electricity facilities and crushing the national economic infrastructure. The terror regime in Iran specializes mainly in the internal suppression of the population through the Revolutionary Guard and the Passage as well as in energy  blackmail by threatening to inflame global oil prices. It is down for the count. It’s leaders are hiding in tunnels and are struggling to communicate and make decisions. Its skies are wide open and all its national infrastructure and strategic facilities are exposed to attacks, yet it declares that it is winning because just like Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in Gaza,it does not care about about the heavy price paid by the population. The main thing is personal survival which is not guaranteed either.  When the attack resumes this time it will not be different and deadly and will deliver devastating blows to the most sensitive places. This will be in addition to the massive blows that the Iranian terror regime has already suffered so far,which will shake and collapse its very foundations.”

April 25, 2026: Iranian diplomats leave Pakistan. They didn’t go there to talk with Israeli assets Witkoff and Kushner, who they correctly regard as backstabbers, but to explain to the Pakistani mediators, and the Russians, and others that Iran is no longer willing to discuss the nuclear issue. Further discussions will hinge on elements of the war.

May 1, 2026: Today it has been 60 days since the United States attacked Iran: Under the War Powers Act of 1973, the President of the United States must notify Congress within 48-hours of putting US military into conflict. Within 60 days of committing US military, the President must get the military out or must get permission from Congress to continue the conflict. Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth is now claiming that, because Trump declared a cease fire on April 7, the clock stopped ticking, so the President doesn’t have to ask Congressional approval. When that falls flat, Trump declares ‘Operation Epic Fury’ is over. Everyone paying attention predicts Trump will restart the war very soon. Perhaps right after his upcoming trip to China on May 13, 2026

May 3, 2026: Well Happy Birthday to Israel’s Fascist National Security Minister Itmar Ben Gvir. He literally popped champagne in the Knesset a few weeks ago when Israeli lawmakers passed his Palestinians-only execution legislation and here is his lovely wife giving him a nice Zionist birthday cake.

International Center of Justice for Palestinians has submitted sanctions recommendations for 62 of the Israeli Parliamentarians who voted for the law. High ranking police and prison officials were having a great time at the birthday boy’s party.

May 16, 2026: Israeli terrorist filmed beating Palestinian family’s dog almost to death with clubs. Video goes viral. The dog, Lucy, was tied up in the yard, no threat to anyone. Under Jewish occupation laws, Palestinians are not allowed to protect their animals or property from Israelis. They can only film what happens. Trying to counter world disgust, Israelis float a narrative that the thug was an Arab. Israeli newspaper Haaretz identified the zoosadist as an Israeli Jew. 

May 18, 2026: Jewish terrorists attack Palestinian shepherd in the West Bank. Run over four of his sheep with a tractor. Again, Palestinians are not allowed–on pain of death– to stop Israelis from killing their livestock. They can only film the crime and turn evidence over to Israeli military who do nothing.

May 17, 2026: Jewish state announces it will extend it’s new Palestinians-only death penalty laws to the West Bank.

Loss of Narrative in America:

April, 2026: US standing around the world is circling the drain. US weapons supplies depleted to the point it can’t defend allies, vassal states, or itself. US has lost command of the maritime domain around the Persian Gulf. Navy has to stay away from Iranian Coast. There is no viable military option for opening Strait of Hormuz and no apparent off ramp for Trump. US has lost over 3 dozen of its most sophisticated and expensive aircraft.

April, 2026: By now, it is becoming common knowledge that Trump family members and cronies (Kushner and Witkoff among them0 are making BILLIONS of dollars off the Middle East wars through insider trading, buying and selling stocks just prior to Trump or his minions making some anticipated announcement. Americans, who are paying more for food and fuel are disgusted. 

April 02, 2026: Pete Hegseth fires Army Chief of Staff General Randy George and two other generals. This is the official line. On the other hand, it may be the Generals told Hegseth he’s incompetent, his war is a disaster, and they’ll not be part of sending ground troops to die for Israel. We’ll know more in the future.

++April 2, 2026: Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth fires US Army’s Chief of Chaplains Major General William Green during Holy Week between Palm Sunday and Easter. This is the first time in American History that the top chaplain was fired. [Hegseth also just fired two other Generals Randy George and David Hodne].

3 April, 2026: Obama admits that Netayahu tried to get him to attack Iran but he refused. 

++Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026: On the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Savior, President Donald J Trump, incensed that Iran won’t bow to him, tweeted this: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell–JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump.  

*Trump’s threats to civilian power plants and bridges in Iran are war crimes. His vulgarity in this disgusting message has millions of Americans calling for his removal from office under the 25th Amendment.

++As noted last month, Israel has closed Church of the Holy Sepulchure to Christians during the Holy Week.  

As noted elsewhere: Israel trying to regain control of the narrative, Zionists bought Tik Tok, 3rd string podcasters, and most of the US media. Millions of Americans now opting for podcasts and foreign news outlets that report a narrative that is 180 degrees out from what is shown in US legacy outlets. As a result, after decades of pulling strings from behind the curtain, Israel and its lobby are exposed. It’s not going well for them. Every time Trump or Netanyahu open their mouths, more Americans get the message.

How’s it going at week 7 in the war Trump expected to last a weekend?:
*At least 13 Americans killed. Former Ambassador Chas Freeman and other analysts report the Pentagon is engaged in ‘a massive cover-up’ of numbers of killed and wounded.
*US Fuel prices through the roof.
*US Food prices up.
*US has spent tens of billions of dollars so far. And continues to spend between a billion and two billion per day.
*US has lost north of $8 billion in damaged/destroyed aircraft.
*US ammunition and missile stocks depleted.
*Weakness of American Military exposed. Specifically, we’re still fighting with what worked in WW2 but no longer applies on the modern battlefield. Our multi-billion dollar missile defense systems don’t work (which countries we sell them to can see all too clearly). Our great allay Israel is a coward that can bomb civilians but can’t fight men on the ground who fight back.
*Stock market, metals, oil futures swinging wildly as the US President and his cronies are manipulating the capital markets and making billions of dollars.

*No Stated Objectives Met (as laid out by Judge Napolitano and others):
Iranian Regime change?  No.
Iranian nuclear program dismantled? No.
Ballistic Missile Program gone? No.
Iranian allies in the region crushed? No.
Strait of Hormuz open? No.

Iran, by contrast, has won:
*Iran: *Doubled its income in a month thanks to Trump lifting sanctions.
*Iran citizens have circled the wagons and the government is more secure than it was a year ago.
*Iran has won the respect of the world. Partly through the intelligent design and execution of defending the country, but more through the spirit of its people. While Israelis run to bomb shelters, Iranians go to the streets to dance and wave flags in defiance.
*Iran is ending the hegemony of the US dollar by charging ships passing the Strait of Hormuz to pay in Chinese yuan or other currencies.
*Iran has won it’s place among the world’s primary political, military, and economic powers.

April 22, 2026: Pete Hegseth fires Secretary of the Navy John Phelan. Calls it ‘an immediate departure’ instead of firing. Phelen joins over a dozen Generals and Admirals who’ve been fired/forced out during Trump’s second term; including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. CQ  Brown. Rumors of serious push-back by the military against Trump/Netanyahu war with Iran.

April 23 2026: Hey, remember Zionist Congress tool Max Miller complaining Rashida Tlaib’s Palestinian flag shouldn’t be allowed in hall of Congress. Here’s an activist pointing out a portion of the Israeli flags in the halls of America’s Congress https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXgOthCICVK/

April 28, 2026: Purported would-be assassin Cole Allen Thomas breaks into White House dinner, supposedly to shoot Trump. Many questions about how he got in, where the bullets he fired went, why no one–including Thomas was shot, why JD Vance was scooted out at once, while Trump was left sitting there for about 20 seconds, etc. Conspiracy theories abound. Was it real or a distraction from all that’s going on with Trump’s crazy administration? It’s an odd story that fell off the front page almost at once.

1 May, 2026: 60-day limit on War Powers Act is up. Meaning Trump has to get permission from Congress to continue the war he started February, 28 of this year. [Hegseth had tried to claim the cease fire Trump declared earlier in the conflict had stopped the clock but that didn’t fly]. Hegseth claims US has more capabilities than when the war started. [Which everyone knows is false.]

11 May, 2026: Short documentary re: Student journalists from Annenberg Media , University of Southern California expose Israeli military medical teams, in conjunction with US Navy, are being trained in a California University using bodies donated to California Universities for science.  Bodies used are perfused cadavers ie. not embalmed. As soon as patients are declared dead, their bodies’ circulatory systems are  filled with dyed water to resemble blood, and put on a pump to reanimate the corpse. Navy confirmed that multiple Israeli teams of 4 doctors, 1 anesthesiologist, 1 OR nurse,  travel to the United States for this every year where they treat simulated combat injuries including thoracic gunshot wounds, gunshot wounds to the leg, improvised explosive blast injuries to the face and torso.USC has collected over a million dollars in this program. Neither people who left their bodies to science nor their families were informed their bodies would be used in this way. *Of note: photo of two trainees  wearing hoodies with Golani Brigade logo. The Golani Brigade is implicated in last years massacre of Palestinian medical workers in Rafa. One upshot of this is potential American donors are taking themselves off the list.

12 May, 2026: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth grilled by Congress as to how depleted US munitions stocks are because of the Middle East and Ukraine Wars. Hegseth says he objects to the “characterization that munitions are depleted in a public forum. That’s not true.” But he can’t say how much it  will cost, or how long it would take, to replenish them. Under scrutiny from Senator Mark Kelly he tries to defer questions to the comptroller and makes several guesses between tens of billions to $330 billions.

19 May, 2026:  Israeli Ambassador to the United States calls American pro-Israel group J-Street “a cancer within the Jewish community” because the group criticized Israel.

Loss of Narrative in Europe: 

2 April, 2026: Israelis attacking latest Sumud Flotilla in international waters off Crete. Beating and kidnapping activists. US media not reporting the story. Europeans incensed. 

8 April, 2026: Spain, which permanently recalled its ambassador to Israel last month, will reopen its Embassy in Iran. (Spain closed that embassy March 7th because of Israeli/US bombing). To the surprise of no one, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar responded with childish slander and insults. Among other things he accused Spain of ‘Shameless alignment with Iran’ [which at this point, isn’t really an insult to most of the world].

10 April, 2026: Israel expels Spain from US’ Civil Military Coordination Center (CMCC). The Israelis claim Spain is picking on them. *Note on CMCC: It is run by US Central Command, (CentCom), staffed by 200 US military personnel, has representatives from dozens of countries and the United Nations, and is completely funded by the US. It’s purpose, supposedly, is to oversee humanitarian aid to Gaza [which Israel is still  is still not letting in]. CMCC was put in place on the same day notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation was suspended, and the same day Gaza ‘peace deal’ was signed, so the CMCC is nothing more than a Potemkin Village, paid for by US tax payers, to cover for Israel.

11 April, 2026: 40 year-old Irishman climbs on top of a US military C-130 cargo plane that landed at Shannon Airport to refuel and he disabled it by chopping on  the wings with a hatchet!! It does make you wonder about priorities when Ireland has enough fuel for American military planes that burn 800 gallons an hour but doesn’t have diesel fuel for its farmers during planting season. 

11 April, 2026: Major fuel shortage protests erupt in Ireland. Gas and diesel pumps empty in a lot of places. 

12 April, 2026: Trump calls Iran charging tolls on ships passing through Iranian waters “World Extortion,” “illegal” and vows to interdict vessels that pay tolls to Iran blow up Iranians who try to enforce the tolls etc. —-Worth noting: Turkey charges toll of $5.83/net ton on ships transiting the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits. Turks collected $227.4 million in 2024. Is Trump going to bomb Turkey next?

13 April, 2026: An impotent Trump announces he will end Iran’s blockade of Strait of Hormuz by…wait for it…the US Navy blockading ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz. This is absurd because the Navy has to stay hundreds of sea miles away from Iran to keep from being blown up. US Navy doesn’t have enough ships to cover such a huge expanse of water.

14 April, 2026: Polish MP standing at the podium in front of Parliament describes Israel using  weapons that burn thousands of children alive in Gaza. Compares Israelis to Nazis, then says “Israeli flag should look like this” unfolding an Israeli flag with swastika instead of Star of David. Many in Parliament applaud. Israelis very upset. 

15 April, 2026: Trump threatens to tear up US trade deal with UK because UK won’t join Israel/US war against Iran and PM Keir Starmer says UK will not support blockade of Iran. 

15 April, 2026: Secretary of the (bankrupt) Treasury Scott Bessent announces ‘Operation Economic Fury’ where US threatens to put secondary sanctions on banks/countries that buy oil from Iran. Bessent pretends to believe major powers like China will bend the knee to this.

April 21, 2026: Professor Mirandi, who was part of the Iranian negotiating group on April 9, says that Vance was favorable to a deal with the Iranians at that time but before it was signed Vance got a call from Israeli PM Netanyahu who told Vance he couldn’t do the deal. 

April 26, 2026: EU airlines cutting flights due to rising fuel costs: Lufthansa (German), Aer Lingus (Ireland), Air France, Norse Atlantic Airways, KLM (Netherlands, Royal Dutch Airlines). Also, Delta and United in the US.  And Air Canada. have cut flights.

April 27, 2026: Since 2000 the Jewish state has enjoyed a sweetheart deal where 37 percent of EU export enter Israel tariff free. EU Commission is now pushing to end that sweetheart deal over Gaza genocide. EU is about 1/3 of Israel’s total trade.  So far, the move to end this deal have been blocked by Germany, Czechia, and Hungary. On April 12, Germany and Czechia changed their position and Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban who supported Netanyahu has just been voted out. Stay tuned.

April 27, 2026: EU, which is bracing for possible war with Russia, considers sanctions on Israel after cargo ship of Ukrainian wheat that was seized by Russia ties up at Haifa, Israel.

April 27, 2026: Iranian Foreign Minister Arachi meets in Moscow with Russian FM Sergei Lavrov and President Putin. The President reportedly congratulated Iran for standing up for National Sovereignty [which goes back to the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 and which is incorporated into the Geneva Conventions and the United Nations Charter. 

April 28, 2026: King Charles of the UK visits US. He was criticized in England for making the trip during Trump’s war mongering and support of Gaza genocide. On the day Charles speaks to Congress, the UK Ambassador to the US says the US doesn’t have a special relationship with the UK. The US has one special relationship and that is with Israel. 

13 May 2026: Israeli contestant to Eurovision booed again this year. People in the audience chant ‘Free Palestine” and ‘Stop the Genocide’.  Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, and the Netherlands all boycotting Eurovision because Israel is allowed to participate. Boycotting countries are not televising the contest which is an economic hit. Also, many asking why Israel is in it at all since Israel is in Asia.

Lost Narrative in Israel:
April 2026: Hezbollah continues beating Israel on the ground in Lebanon. Israelis were told last year that Hezbollah was ‘decapitated’.  Israelis, who used to sit in lawn chairs on hillsides drinking beer and cheering as Israel blew up children in Gaza, are now living in bomb shelters and ‘traumatized’.

April 2026: Reporter points out that both Netanyahu and head of Mossad have stated their intent to continue fighting Iran and will not cease until Iranian government collapses. This is despite Trump telling him not to. Hegseth interrupts reporter, “I would say your question is based on the false premise that somehow President Trump is being pulled in by Prime Minister Netanyahu to any of  these actions.” Spends the next minute shilling for Israel.

April, 2026: Israeli Military Leader reports to the country that Israel is losing in Lebanon, hasn’t defeated Hamas, and Iran war is a disaster. At the same time, 93% of Israelis want more war with Iran to destroy it completely. Alastair Crooke called this ‘Panglossian’ mind set [an extreme, naive view that everything will be alright despite all the suffering.

April, 2026: Netanyahu was due in court to testify at his corruption trial. He refuses to go because he’s too busy running the wars he started. 

April, 2026: Trying to keep Israelis from fleeing the country, Israel only letting 50 people at a time to leave on the few passenger planes flying out. 

19 May, 2026: Seeking victimhood, Israeli fanatic government minister Smotrich claims ICC has arrest warrant out for him. ICC says it doesn’t.

Lost Narrative in Asia:

7 April, 2026: Armed attack on Israeli consulate in Istanbul. Two attackers killed. Two police wounded. 

April, 2026: Indonesia demanding accountability from Israel for killing three of their United Nations Peace Keepers in March. 

6 May, 2026: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visits China to hold talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Ye. This is the week before Donald Trump visits China. A diplomatically significant message that China wants to be on the same page with Iran before speaking with Trump. Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said, as the Russians have, that “complete cessation of hostilities must be achieved without delay, that it is even more unacceptable to restart hostilities…”

08 May, 2026: US sanctions Chinese satellite company that is providing photos of damage to US bases in Persian Gulf countries. ‘Cause we ain’t supposed to know.

09 May, 2026:At least 30 US Generals have reportedly refused Trump’s orders to commit war crimes and/or send US ground troops against Iran. At least 12 have been fired. 

11 May, 2026: Russia sending material aid to Iran via the Caspian Sea. China providing aid to Iran via railroad. Pakistan sending aid to Iran via seven land roads. So, US claims that Iran is out of everything because of US sanctions is a load of horseradish.

13 May, 2026: Trump arrives in China for a state visit. So unprepared that he thought President Xi would greet him at the airport and didn’t recognize the Chinese dignitary sent to meet him instead.  Trump has a coterie of billionaires with him who are planning to make deals with the Chinese. According to reports, the billionaires did little but go sightseeing.

Lost Narrative in Gulf States:

April, 2026: The Jewish state engage in disinformation campaign alleging Saudis and UAE want double down against Iran. 

April 4, 2026: After US bombed Iranian civilian infrastructure including desalination plant, somebody bombed Kuwaiti desalination plants destroying 38% of Kuwaiti desalination capacity. (Iran is 2% dependent on desalination. Kuwait is 90% dependent on desalination.) Western media says Iran bombed Kuwait’s plants. Iran says it didn’t bomb them, which would imply Israel did it as a false flag attack. Israel doesn’t have great relations with Kuwait but would like to get them and other members of Gulf Cooperation Council into the war on Israel’s side.

April 19, 2026: Sunni Gulf states want US to pay tens of billions for damage inflicted on them by the US war for Israel that the US and Israel started without agreements from the Gulf states. 

April, 20, 2026: Iran expecting immanent attack by Israel/US. Has expressed plans to retaliate against any Gulf States who aid US/Israel.

01 May, 2026: UAE exits OPEC dropping membership in OPEC to 11 countries: Algeria, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. 33% of the world’s crude oil output–46% of internationally traded oil–73% of proven oil reserves. Indonesia left OPEC in 2016, Qatar left in 2019, Ecuador left in 2020, Angola left in 2024. UAE departure weakens OPEC. UAE and Saudis are the only ones with spare capacity which allows them to produce more oil as they see fit. UAE seeks closer ties to US/Israel since getting clobbered by Iran for backing US/Israel.

Lost Narrative World wide: 

April 9, 2029:  Over 70 countries condemn Israeli attack on UN peace keepers after UN investigators determine that the 3 Indonesian peace keepers  killed on March 29/30 in Lebanon were killed by an Israeli 120 mm round fired from a Merkava tank.

++During April, Donald Trump and JD Vance manage to offend a majority of the 1.5 billion Catholics in the world.

++April 11, 2026: Pope Leo, who has been a vocal critic of the Iran war, holds prayer vigil for peace at St. Peter’s Basillica. Calls for end of war. Following Vatican protocol he didn’t mention Trump or U.S. but did say “prayer acts as a bulwark against the delusion of omnipotence that surrounds us and is becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.” 

++April 12, 2026: ’60 Minutes’  did an interview with 3 American Cardinals who expressed the Church’s moral teaching regarding war, criticized the Iran war as unjust, and criticized Trump’s mass deportation policies. This may have something to do with Trump’s tirade at the Pope.

++April 12, 2026: Donald Trump calls The Pope ‘weak on crime’ (sic) says Leo wouldn’t have been elected Pope if it weren’t for Trump.
++Donald Trump puts out AI image of himself as Jesus Christ healing the sick. Going clockwise: note the Moloch image at top, jet planes, eagle, army guy….This is even more nutty than last May, 2025 when Trump posted AI image of himself as the Pope.

++April 13, 2026:Pope Leo responds to Trump directly that he has no fear of the Trump administration and that he will continue to preach the Gospel and to speak out loudly against the war.
++April 14, 2026: Not to be outdone by Trump imagining himself as Jesus and Pope;  JD Vance, freshly back from his humiliation in Pakistan, says Pope Leo should “..be careful when he talks about matters of theology.” [Vance claims to have converted to Catholicism a few years ago, and he’s trash talking
the Pope on theology!]

April 27, 2026: World hunger and in some countries famine now expected because of Strait of Hormuz closure.  Even if the war stopped today. At the same time, world is watching Iran, Israel, US replenish weapons for another round of war.

Chas Freeman points out that Russia and China have benefited greatly from the US debacle in Iran while US standing has plummeted and it’s conceivable that Russia could organize an international boycott of the United States.  

May

May 2026: Countries around the world are looking towards China and Russia as trading partners. US viewed as a militarily weak, culturally ignorant, untrustworthy,  Zionist tool. 

5 May, 2026: Hegseth and General Caine claim Navy will escort commercial ships through Strait of Hormuz. Reporter asks them questions.
1) To Hegseth: US intelligence says Iran’s nuclear plans have not changed in the past 9-12 months. Is  that intelligence wrong? How can this be after so much bombing? Hegseth replies: “We don’t discuss the specifics about intel…I can’t confirm or deny whether that is indeed correct. Uh, speculation as far as I’m concerned coming, coming (sic) from you.”
2) To Caine: Trump claims the US blockade is more effective than bombing. Why didn’t we start with the blockade? and how many ships does the US navy plan to escort through the Strait this week? Caine replies: “Sir, I’ll let CentCom talk to the number of ships they’re going to take through because they’re the nearest ones to talking to the commercial shippers, and I don’t want to get out in front of them.”

8 May, 2026: Secretary of State Marco Rubio becomes laughingstock of the world when reporter asks why US is shooting at Iranian small naval boats challenging US navy trying to run the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio says , “That’s a stupid question…” blames the Iranians. Claims they attacked the US, “Only stupid countries don’t shoot back when they’re shot at.” 

14 May, 2026: Tens of thousands of racist Jews do their annual ritual ‘Jerusalem Day’ march through Jerusalem’s Old City chanting “Death to Arabs” and “May your villages burn”. Attacking Palestinians they catch outside, damaging Palestinian property, etc. World watches in disgust.

18 May, 2026: Notes on Trump’s trip to China: It was an embarrassment. Trump was hoping China would help him get out of his war on Iran. Claims China agrees with him on Iran. China didn’t say that. Says they don’t discuss private political discussions. Trump returns from China still pushing Zionist demands on Iran he knows Iran won’t accept. Threatens to massively bomb Iran this week. VP Vance parrots this. “We’re locked and loaded.” Then Trump backs off saying Middle East governments asked him not to attack Iran. Much like a drunk at the bar shouting ‘Hold me back!’ from a fight he really doesn’t want to get into. Most analysts say Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar won’t let US use their air space or bases to attack Iran (because Iran would retaliate against them).  Apparently Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who went on the China trip, is sanctioned from going to China because of past criticisms so they changed his name. The Chinese character which would normally be used would be analogous to rupee but instead they used a character meaning ‘rude’ or  ‘crass’.

20 May, 2026: Zionist billionaires spent tens of millions to defeat Libertarian Israel critic Thomas Massie (R-KY) in the primary. Israel tool Pete Hegseth campaigned for Massie’s opponent. [At least Zionist ownership of American politics is out in the open. ]

20 May, 2026: Russian President Putin visits China. He and Chinese President Xi issue joint communique condemning Israel/US war against Iran.
