“Trump says U.S. will destroy Iran’s oil wells, Kharg Island without deal to ‘immediately’ reopen Hormuz Strait” (CNBC)

Iran’s lame strategy is merely to outlast America’s will to overcome a 47-year-old global embarrassment and threat to global security that should have been challenged decades ago.

They clearly do not understand a president who prefers outcome to process.

Let’s dispense with illusions.

The only durable outcome to this conflict is not another ceasefire, not another round of talks, not another “framework agreement” signed with ceremonial pens and forgotten the following Tuesday.

The only correct conclusion: A white flag. Conditions of surrender. The end of ayatollah rule.

Anything short of that is merely an intermission.

Iran’s underground “missile cities”—vast tunnel complexes designed to survive airstrikes and launch retaliatory attacks—were engineered to ensure the regime can keep fighting even after absorbing punishment. They must be located, penetrated, and rendered useless.

Iran still possesses 460 kg of highly enriched uranium, enough for 11 nuclear bombs. It must be neutralized. Not as punishment but as risk management.

For years, Iran has been an ogre managing a toll booth at the Strait of Hormuz, leveraging and now hindering the flow of global oil needs. That ogre must be taken out and Iranian control of the strait removed from their purview.

As for boots on the ground: Let us pray our leaders know in advance whatever hell our soldiers may be up against and are well prepared to meet the challenge. And that they also ensure our men in uniform are well compensated and properly treated when, years from now, they are veterans.

“‘The Cult of Cesar’: Inside the Mountain Compound Led by Cesar Chavez” (NY Times)

He began managing according to the principles of Synanon, a drug-treatment program centered on verbal abuse, attack therapy, and public humiliation.

The appeal of mind control, recalled Marshall Ganz, one of his top lieutenants, was that it gave Mr. Chavez “the feeling of domination.”

In interviews, two women, both daughters of union organizers, told The Times that they were molested and sexually assaulted by Mr. Chavez as adolescents during the 1970s. They said his sexual contact with them began at La Paz when they were 12 and 13, and he was in his mid-40s.

No mo’ hailing Cesar!

In the wake of the Times investigation, members of Congress have introduced a bill to abolish and defund the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument.

Maybe they should move it to the Obama presidential library.

Because as president, in 2012, Obama turned La Paz, where Mr. Chavez is buried, into a federal monument.

“Governor Gavin Newsom Says California Revoked 280+ Hospice Licenses in Crackdown on Fraud” (Edhat)

If you’re wondering why this happened, it’s not because California’s remiss administrators discovered anything amiss.

It’s because independent journalist Nick Shirley hit the pavement, knocked on doors, and exposed massive fraud.

“‘Thousands of exorcists’ needed to tackle rise in Satanism” (The Telegraph)

The first exorcist was Jesus of Nazareth, who simply ordered demons to depart the persons they possessed.

The successful exorcisms Jesus conducted were considered His first miracles. Thereafter, exorcism became a mainstay in the promotion of Christianity: if the devil exists, so must God.

Jesus wanted all His disciples to possess the power to smoke out demons and send them packing. But once Christianity became an organized religion, its high priests adopted exorcism as their exclusive domain and set “requirements” and “qualifications” for those “allowed” to practice it.

To become an exorcist, as Jesus wanted everyone to be, the basic kit is not complicated: a handful of prayers in Latin, a cross, a vial of holy water, the fortitude to engage hell—and a pack of Depends.

It also helps to possess an understanding of Diablo.

The demon does not have supernatural powers, only preternatural powers of illusion and observation. It is not all-knowing, though pretends to be and feigns omniscience. What it does know are your weaknesses and where you’ve been—rather like Santa Claus knowing who’s naughty and nice.

Before proceeding with an exorcism, discernment of diabolic intrusion is necessary. Four tests must be applied to determine whether possession is truly present—or whether you are dealing with mental illness.

Does the subject exhibit abnormal strength? Knowledge of an unknown language? Knowledge of hidden things? An aversion to things holy and sacred? Demons cannot bear looking at holy objects and are said to be especially terrified of the Virgin Mary.

One should first test for “pseudo-possession”: pretend to use Latin prayer and holy water, while actually using Latin prose and un-blessed water. If the subject reacts, she is faking (most victims of possession are women by a ratio of seven to three).

Demonic presence manifests four ways: infestation, as in a premises); oppression, whereby external demons haunt with voices or physical abuse; obsession, and possession.

If possessed, the victim must be a willing participant in the exorcism and be prompted to say, “Eternal father, you are my creator, I adore you.” So don’t try exorcising anyone behind their back or against their will. It won’t work—and may earn you a restraining order.

Then demand: “I command you, in the name of God, to depart”—and try to mean it. Conviction matters. Demons, like bureaucrats and conmen, can smell weakness.

Demons will not speak unless ordered to do so, and are notoriously reluctant to reveal their names, which they regard as defeat. Do not ask the demon any questions other than its name. After the demon reveals itself, intensify pressure. The subject may appear to pass out as the demon tries to avoid hearing prayer. When that happens, pray louder. If the demon intimidates with intense eyes, stare it down.

Be aware that the demon may pretend to depart. Deception is part of the job description. So stick around a while, be thorough and then—poof—just like that…

…it’s gone.

What a week—whew!

And you should too.

“We Visited ‘Ground Zero’ for Hospice Fraud: Los Angeles, California”(CBS News)

The hospice business in LA is booming.

Unfortunately, most of these “businesses” are fake and sucking Medicare dry.

One woman discovered she was dying when Medicare refused to pay for physical therapy because, according to the system, she was already in hospice.

She wasn’t dying.

She was playing pickleball.

But on paper she was terminal—and someone was billing the federal government for the privilege.

“Gavin Newsom’s wife and her firm pocketed $3.7M from her ‘gender stereotypes’ charity, unearthed IRS filings reveal” (Daily Mail)

Lemme get this straight.

Start a charity.

Then pay yourself and your own firm $3.7 million—a third of all the dough that rolls in?

That’s not philanthropy.

It’s venture capitalism with better tax treatment.

“The Obama Foundation Is Even More Corrupt Than You Thought”(PJ Media)

An $850 million monument to influence, donors, and brand—wrapped in the moral language of philanthropy.

Because in modern politics, presidents don’t retire. They institutionalize themselves.

A nonprofit and permanent post-presidential influence machine combined.

The donor list reads like Davos—a who’s who of the global influence class, investing in access and future leverage.

• Jeff Bezos — $100 million donation

• Connie & Steve Ballmer (Microsoft billionaire) — $25M+ tier

• Marc Benioff (Salesforce founder)

• Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

• Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn co-founder)

Here’s the real scandal:

Jackson Park was public land.

Today a private presidential foundation builds its legacy monument there and runs the show.

Technically the land still belongs to the people. Which in modern American politics means: the public keeps the grass. The powerful keep the campus.

“Farrah Fawcett’s unrecognizable nepo-baby son seen with DEVIL HORN face tattoos after allegedly stabbing actor in the head” (DailyMail)

“Cops swarm on Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro ranch to search for bodies of two girls strangled during rough sex sessions amid human experimentation claims” (Daily Mail)

About friggin’ time.

Not least because—aside from a couple female bodies said to be buried nearby—witnesses are now coming forward with allegations that push the Epstein story into even darker territory.

Several men and women claim they were drugged at the ranch, awakened around medical equipment, and later realized biological material had been taken from their bodies.

Human experimentation.

Without authorization from the humans. (May explain buried bodies.)

Somewhere out there in that New Mexico desert lies the truth about what really happened at Zorro Ranch—and maybe about pedophiles from the global power elite.

“Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces” (Washington Post)

Very un-intelligent of Russia, not least because their “intelligence” changes nothing.

Plus, this kind of fruitless meddling will not sit well with Trump, who may finally grasp that Mad Vlad is not his buddy—a realization that hopefully bodes well for Ukraine.

Far from intelligence, this is Russian stupidity—and token at best.
