How are you, American Unity?

A Japanese admiral was against attacking the US, made famous by the line: "Now we have awakened a sleeping giant" in the film Tora! Tora! Tora!

After the Meiji Period, Japan sent Defense Attaches, spies, delegates all over the world to learn from the West.

Tokyo knew who was powerful and who wasn't.

The Japanese basically copied the UK's surprise attack on Italian ships at Taranto (1940).

Japan, like Italy's powerful OVRA, had an excellent espionage service which makes another book recommendation for you:

Imperial Japan intended to honorably deliver their formal declaration of war to the US before beginning their attack on US ships in Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1041.

Japanese planes attacked on Sunday 7 December 1941, 0748 HOURS Hawaiian Time (HT) or 1248 HOURS in Washington DC (Eastern Time Zone).

"Due to bureaucratic delays, decoding issues, and last-minute translations, the final version of the note was not delivered to US Secretary of State Cordell Hull until after the attack had already begun (around 1400 HOURS Washington time, or 0800 HOURS on 6 December in Japan)."

The Japanese pilots took off and attacked the docked and unguarded US ships at Pearl Harbor without knowing the declaration of war was not received.

Hi Clownshack

Thanks for posting.

Today's Pandora's Box didn't have to be opened completely-- just a tiny crack to break the vacuum seal and BOOM!

MAGAts and cultists still won't care that Dummkopf Trumpf is a vile child predator.

The diabolical Trumpf junta is investigating California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington.

All except Vermont have Democratic governors.

The Weldon Amendment is one of a series of provisions known as conscience laws, which provide legal protections for individuals and health care entities that choose not to provide abortions or other types of care because of religious or moral objections.

"What we're seeing here is the fulfillment of a promise to the religious right," said a women's rights advocate.

*** Iran Will Prolong the War ***

CNN interviewed analysts who echo my thoughts. The Iranians are accustomed to sanctions, austerity, and being deprived. Tehran stockpiled drones and rockets for a situation like this. The Iranians also spread out their command structure, so decapitation strikes become less effective. Tehran understands the West is a capitalist system with Wall Street share prices and gas costs displayed on the TV chirons and people concerned about their investments.

Like the Viet Cong and Taliban who waited out the US, so till will Iran while Dummkopf Trumpf and Pete Hegseth burn through our money.

Per Person National Debt:

Iran: $1,636
Israel: $31,500
US: $113,638

*** IDF Detaining Hundreds of Children Without Charge ***

More than half of the Palestinian children detained in Israeli prisons at the end of last year were being held without charge or trial, a Palestinian rights group has said, as concerns mount over reported abuses in Israeli detention facilities.

Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) reported 51% of 351 detained Palestinian children were being held in what's known as "administrative detention."

An Israeli human rights group reported these prisons are akin to "torture camps."

*** Smear Campaign Against Joe Kent Underway: FBI Investigating Him for Alleged Leaks ***

"The FBI has opened a leak investigation into a top former intelligence official who resigned Tuesday in protest over the war in Iran.

The investigation into former NCTC Director Joe Kent is focused on allegations that he improperly shared classified information.

In his resignation letter, Kent wrote that Iran "posed no imminent threat to our nation" and accused President Dummkopf Trumpf of starting the war because of "pressure from Israel."

The investigation predates Kent's departure, sources said; one of them described it as being months-long. Trumpf sycophants and allies denounced Kent as a leaker immediately after his resignation became public."

What did I tell you about Islamophobic dinosaur John Fetterman?

Pennsylvania US Senator John Fetterman-- a "Democrat" -- bleated on a podcast that the Democratic Party is suffering from "Trumpf Derangement Syndrome" (TDS). This same AIPAC-er maligned fellow Democrat Zohran Mamdani (D) during his historic campaign to become NYC Mayor last year.

Excerpt from this ridiculous DINO:

"I think the TDS, that's the leader right now. Our party is governed by the TDS. And now it's made it virtually impossible without being punished as a Democrat to agree something's good or I agree with the other side. I think it's a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime. I think it's appropriate to hold them accountable. And what's strange to me is that every single Democrat that's run for president and anyone I know in Congress has said, We must never allow them to acquire a nuclear bomb.' When that happens, why not celebrate that or acknowledge that? I've only witnessed criticism."

About MAGA: "They're not Nazis, they're not fascists."

The interview is revolting if you don't believe me and want to waste your time with it.

US midterm elections are on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has never documented or confirmed any Iranian nuclear weapons test in its official reports or statements. While the IAEA has repeatedly raised concerns about Iran's nuclear activities-- such as undeclared nuclear material, covert programs, and lack of full cooperation with inspections-- the agency has not verified any actual nuclear weapons test by Iran.

In March 2026, IAEA Director Rafael Grossi emphasized that the agency has not found proof of Iran developing a nuclear weapon.

So did the UK, thanks to MI6.

Nice looking women, fine baseball players, delicious cuisine.

C'mon up!

Win-win for us.

The Iranians, descendants of ancient Persia who brought the world chess and distinct musical syncopations, are not a stupid people.

Years ago an Iranian professor who studied and taught political science in Texas would appear on al-Jazeera's "Inside Story" from Iran. He was, incidentally, a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan. People like him advise Tehran about America and our election cycles.

Like 2024, 2026 may also be decided by America and Israel's Islamophobic misadventures in the Middle East.

Iran's multi-decade isolation by the West and constant threat of attack from Israel have informed their military-industrial complex to stockpile drones, rockets, and missiles. Iran produces so many drones that they sell them to Russia.

Without access to the numbers, I daresay Iran can probably continue launching drones and rockets at targets throughout the Middle East and outlast US and Israeli interceptor systems. Israel already reported a shortage of Arrow-3 interceptors.

Iran will continue counterattacking to hurt the Western economies (which they were kicked out of anyway).

Nota Bene: The Bosnian Serb Army was initially running roughshod over the Bosnian Army in the 1992-95 Civil War, suffering fewer casualties than the Bosniaks. After the BiH Army was armed with Western armaments and the Bosnian Croats allied with them, Bosnian Serb casualties started to mount and the war started to become unpopular with Serbian families back home. This helped bring them to the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA).

As a DPA Compliance Monitor, I met a Bosnian Serb military veteran who rolled up his shirt and showed me several bullet hole scars on his torso, just like the Preacher in the film Pale Rider. I was astounded he was alive. This Serb was the angriest man I ever came across during my several missions to the Balkans.

"Look! Look at me! And still the Bosnian Serb government doesn't send me money or someone to help me after all the promises they made to me and everything I went through! Look at my hut! See how I live? Ptooey!"

For 24 years the status quo dinosaurs have been quite content with ICE deporting Haitians, Latin Americans, and Arabs, bypassing INS Immigration Judges (IJs) who used to hear those cases before 2002 and the never-ending GWOT.

I have noticed AIPAC and corporate Democrats are against abolishing ICE or DHS-- they want to "fix" it up or clean it up a bit, like "no more masks," but "please continue deporting undesirables without due process, just do it with less fanfare and blood."

Progressive Democrats want DHS and ICE rightfully scrapped completely.

If the fate of Markwayne Mullet is in the hands of US Senator John Fetterman (D-Israel), the Oklahoma Ogre will be confirmed.

Mullet promised to divest his ill-gotten corporate shares if he becomes the new head of Amerikkka's Gestapo.

When you're working, you're a Baptist. Management, you become Presbyterian. Whiskeypalians are the business owners.
Class in US religion. Or lack thereof.

Hi DBT2:

Never heard that one but it makes sense. Someone on drudge.com informed me that the Latino community has an internal hierarchy: Cubans at the top and Mexicans at the bottom. Guess the Ricans and Dominicans are in the middle somewhere.

Your comment reminded me of Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities. The novel is better than the film adaptation.

The unpopular Bronx DA is Jewish and running for re-election. He is used to dealing with the "-----, "Schwarzers," "Micks," "Guineas," Catholics, and Jews, all a socio-economic mosaic he can easily decipher.

When wealthy Wall Street investment banker Sherman McCoy accidentally runs over a black boy in the South Bronx, people are outraged and demand prosecution. This is the DA's chance to secure re-election.

NYPD detectives track him down because a witness provided a partial license plate number and the vehicle was a sports car.

When the Bronx DA learns the name of the hit-and-run suspect is "Sherman McCoy," he is flummoxed and at an utter loss.

"What, what kind of name is that?" he demands of the NYPD detectives.

"Um, well Sir, er, it's a white name. He's a white guy. Probably Episcopalian or something." [sic]

"A what?"

Pentagon Seeks $200 Billion More for Iran War

One AI Snapshot:

"In 2026, the US spends an average of $14,775 per person annually on healthcare. This figure includes all health consumption expenditures, such as hospital care, physician services, prescription drugs, and administrative costs.

With $200 billion, the US could treat approximately 13.5 million people for one year at this average cost."

Thanks for helping impoverish America, Bibi, AIPAC, and phony Christians!

I have a personal stalker in Israel who helps me out by commenting "FUNNY" to my effective observations.

Sometimes I have to nudge her when she falls behind, but it's all good.

Russia is also helping North Korean WMD development and the US, ROK, UN, and IAEA have confirmed nuclear testing in Pyongyang.

When did the US, UK, IAEA, UN, or Israel confirm an Iranian nuclear weapons test?

Remarkable that the Episcopalian church hired Stephanie L. Remington in the first place.

What was on her c.v. from August 2018 to May 2019?

Any HR person worth their salt would Google/Duck Duck Go/Ask Jeeves (etc) and use AI search engines for her name everywhere, as well as check social media.

I found Stephanie L. Remington in the Epstein files and emails immediately.
