Today's Iran is in big part the result of America's meddling. Iran had a fledging democracy started around 1900. The prime minister elected in 1953 was a nationalist and a reformer. When he nationalized the oil industry, intending to use the money for infrastructure, public education, etc. Briton and the CIA financed and actively participated in his overthrow. They got the Shaw, (monarchy), reinstalled. The Shaw was sort of okay, he liked the modern Western luxuries, but he was seriously paranoid keeping power, so he censored the press, had a secret police, cancelled elections, and executed anyone gaining political power. The USA provided money and military power to keep the Shaw in power. Aside from the tyrant tendances they liked to copy western lifestyle, women even wore mini skirts shopping and bikini's at the beach. Then Carter pulled the plug. Money disappeared and our military pulled out. Iran crashed. The religious fanatics got control. The rest is 49 years of hell for the Iranian Peoples and the world. That's just Iran. The CIA infiltrated Ukraine in the 1990's. Our tax money again paid for the infiltration, using the same playbook, they cultivated power at local levels, bribed politicians, extorted others, and found useful idiots willing to believe whatever they were told, and they were paid well to organize protests. I spent years hating Carter, but realized he was only one player in the deep state. The sad truth is America has been behind most of the global turmoil since the 1950's. While Nixon was actually innocent in Watergate, he did agree to remove the dollar from the gold exchange standard. Lots of excuses why, but the real reason is our fake debt notes we call dollars. You can't actually buy anything, you can only discharge the debt. Crap, what am I doing here.

There's something called a "positive displacement" pump that could potentially generate a catastrophic failure event, and these types are used to move highly viscous fluids, that said, I couldn't imagine a system designed with any type of pump that didn't have failsafe's built in. Aside from the obvious, controlling pump power via pressure switches. The inline pumps that move crude oil from the San Pedro Bay to LA and Long Beach area refineries in the Bay Pipeline have so many redundancies and "kill" switches built into the system I doubt you could loose any significant volume between monitor points before all "hell" breaks loose with alarms, strobes and the system going into auto shut down. Those are the only oil pipelines I've personally worked on, and that was decades ago, back when I was an oil field lineman. I honestly can't imagine a critical process like moving the highly volatile oil without the obviously essential safety components, especially out in the Middle East, where it's their lifeblood. He was obviously paraphrasing some oral report he was given, but I'm thinking he either misunderstood, or didn't understand how low that risk was when given the different failure point potentials during one of the strategy sessions. I have no doubt Trump has teams of experts spending insane amounts of time to plan contingencies for 100's of risk factors.

These "teachers of the year" are the very same ones getting arrested for everything from assaulting conservatives at protests, molesting students, vile profane tirades promoting violence, and now, attempted murder, or just random targets. It's become obvious these "awards" handed out are not given for actual student's performance indicators, rather, it's all just a popularity game, just another facet to the indoctrination process, they first make the kids worship them, then shove agenda down their throats. Teachers unions all need to be closed down.

Wow. Seriously brutal. Story HERE

We're finally getting to the core gang of fanatics in Iran. I think we are entering both the most dangerous and final gasps of this seriously backwards and juvenile "stone age" global domination scheme called "Islam". Iran is as worried about their own population as they are about the external threats. Israel hacked Iran's street cameras long ago, which they put to excellent use when combined with facial recognition software, supported by Persian Patriots, which is what most of the country still considers itself, regardless of the renaming in 1979 to glorify the religion of dominance, war, murder, slavery, and repression, called "Islam". All I can think of is Thank God that Israel was able to hinder their nuclear program just enough since the insane "obummer" sent all out money there to help them destroy us. Israel slowed them down just long enough for Trump to step up. I can only pray this most dangerous part is over soon. I know the CIA has been steadily getting small arms into Iran with the Kurds assistance, and there's videos popping up showing ambushes of IRGC patrols. If you are a little squeamish, don't bother looking for those, they are brutal and violent, an exact mirror of the treatment the People have endured since 1979. While there are multiple factions trying to rise to the top, I don't believe there will be a violent confrontation between the new factions to determine the "leader". Think of it the same as Americans feel about Voter ID. 90% of everyone wants it, knows it's common sense, and only 10% are either so brainwashed, or corrupted politicians holding onto power anyway they can. Okay, fine, I accept there's possibly a 5% of the population that's just plane too stupid. Nonetheless, these next couple weeks might just "shock" the world with events the MSM has been denying were even a possibility. Either that, or we're in some serious "do-do". DM Iran’s Power Shift: From Political Balancing to Military Control By Jazeh Miller - 29th March 2026 The appointment of Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr signals the full consolidation of power by the IRGC’s hardline core amid escalating internal and external crises The appointment of Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr as Secretary of Iran regime’s Supreme National Security Council is not a routine bureaucratic reshuffle—it is a structural turning point. Following the killing of Ali Larijani, a figure long associated with political mediation and crisis management, this decision lays bare a deeper reality: the Iranian regime has abandoned even the pretense of political balancing and is consolidating authority within its most hardline security apparatus. This is not merely a change in personnel; it is a shift in doctrine. The regime is signaling that, in the face of mounting existential threats, it no longer trusts political actors or institutional mechanisms. Instead, it is handing over national security decision-making entirely to the entrenched core of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Zolghadr is not a politician in any conventional sense. His career has been forged within the security and intelligence machinery of the state, placing him at the center of some of the regime’s most controversial and coercive operations. Unlike his predecessor, whose influence derived from parliamentary and diplomatic experience, Zolghadr represents the institutional DNA of repression. From his early involvement in intelligence structures to his role in shaping extraterritorial operations and proxy warfare, his trajectory reflects the regime’s reliance on force rather than legitimacy. His reported role in establishing operational frameworks such as the Ramadan Headquarters in the 1980s helped lay the groundwork for Iran’s long-term regional strategy—one rooted in asymmetric warfare and proxy networks. Domestically, his association with internal security measures, including oversight roles during periods marked by political repression, underscores his function as a guarantor of regime survival during internal crises. What makes this appointment particularly significant is its institutional implication. The Supreme National Security Council, constitutionally chaired by the regime’s president, once served—at least nominally—as a space for negotiation between elected officials and the regime’s unelected power centers. That fragile equilibrium has now collapsed. Under Zolghadr, the council is poised to transform from a deliberative body into an execution arm of the regime’s security core. The current president is likely to be reduced to a procedural figurehead, while real authority shifts to a secretariat aligned directly with the Supreme Leader and IRGC command structures. Decision-making will no longer be shaped by competing institutional interests but dictated by a unified security doctrine. Zolghadr’s past involvement in what has been described as “security-engineered political outcomes,” including his role in shaping electoral dynamics in the mid-2000s, further illustrates his expertise in controlling both political space and public outcomes. His presence effectively places the current administration under a form of internal surveillance and constraint, limiting any potential for independent policymaking—particularly in sensitive areas such as negotiations or crisis response. The timing of this shift is equally revealing. Coming in the aftermath of a short but consequential military confrontation and the loss of key regime figures, the leadership appears to have entered a phase best described as “survival mode.” In this context, Zolghadr’s appointment carries three clear strategic signals. First, it reflects the full militarization of foreign policy. By entrusting national security coordination to a figure deeply embedded in proxy warfare strategy, the regime is aligning diplomacy entirely with battlefield priorities. Second, it indicates preparation for intensified domestic repression. Zolghadr’s background across judicial, intelligence, and internal security institutions positions him as a specialist in containment—what could be termed the architecture of suppression. His appointment is a preemptive response to the regime’s fear of renewed uprisings. Third, it reveals an increasing homogenization within the ruling elite. Figures with political nuance or independent influence are being replaced by loyal security insiders. In moments of acute vulnerability, the Supreme Leader appears to rely exclusively on a closed circle of military-aligned loyalists. The broader conclusion is difficult to ignore. The Iranian regime is moving away from even symbolic forms of republican governance toward a model centered entirely on security preservation. The Supreme National Security Council no longer functions as a national institution—it is evolving into a command hub for the regime’s hardline core. This transformation marks the end of any lingering illusion that internal reform or moderate governance can influence the system’s trajectory. The regime is preparing for its most challenging scenarios, whether external conflict or internal upheaval. In this recalibrated power structure, public representation—already limited—has been further marginalized, replaced by an overriding imperative: survival at any cost.

Trump only selected Barrett and Kavanaugh based on recommendations from that traitor Jeff Sessions. While Trump still has other options for tariffs, unless the SAVE America act gets passed, America will most likely devolve into a civil war sometime in 2027. If I look back at the people Trump listened to back in his first term, and then the traitors he inadvertently placed in power, only to break their oaths and work against Us, all while being assaulted by the fake scandals, it's actually a miracle Trump wasn't taken out by some whacko DEI hero in the S.S. I'm trying desperately to hold onto the belief that God wouldn't carry America through the last decade, only to step back and let us fall. But then, it strikes me as equally as plausible, that He answered our prayers for the moment, but still has His own plan He's been putting off for the moment. All we can do is keep praying, endeavor to fight the lies with truth, and most of all, don't let the politics lead you astray from God's mission for ourselves. In the end, none of this will matter anyway. That said, Trump has done more to spread awareness Christian principals and as a result God's Word, to every corner of the planet through his actions than any other POTUS in our history. Every single government politician, dictator, and "leader", in every industrialized in the world, regardless of personal spirituality, has had to admit the strength, conviction, and insightful leadership of Trump. I wonder how many people were internally led to question their own belief's after Trump's performance so far.
