NOT REALLY SURPRISED

The USA is playing both sides against each other in the Israel-Iran conflict, something I’m sure most of us are aware of. Just how shamelessly and blatantly they’re doing it might make you blink, though.

Before Iran launched their strike against Israel, they informed Turkey of their plans. Apparently Turkey then informed the US, which then told Iran to “Keep it within certain limits”.

Not “Don’t you dare attack Israel or you will have us to fight” but “Okay, no problem. Attack Israel but not too much.” Attack our Ally!

Little Israel is doing their very best to put the constant assaults and murders to an end. Ever since the country was founded it’s been like having Chicago on steroids festering away right in the middle of the country, and being prevented at every turn from eliminating the problem.

I felt when the Oct. 7 Hamas assault happened that it was allowed to happen as the only way to get enough outrage, enough world support and national support to finally go to all out war against the terrorists. It was a sacrifice that had to be made. The US government has been interfering and trying to slow the war down, to stop it, ever since, while continuing to claim that “We have your back”. Yeah, you do, and that’s a knife in your hand.

Knowing all this, I wouldn’t retaliate against Iran. This back and forth escalation is exactly what the US wants, for their own reasons. I’d do what Israel already did and say that they’ll respond in their own time, and stay focused on getting rid of Hamas. This is about trying to get Israel involved in a big war with Iran and being forced to put their home battles on hold. I wouldn’t fall for it.

THE AFTERMATH

Now that Iran’s massive aerial attack on Israel has resulted in one little 7 year old Muslim girl being injured, some slight damage at an Israeli air base and nothing more, now what?

Did the Iranians expect Israel to be joined in shooting the array of various weapons down by not only the US, France and the UK but also Jordan? Because nothing could have possibly shown the world how weak Iran actually is when it comes to attacking beyond it’s borders than this display.

If this was a genuine effort to display power and cause some real suffering and damage in Israel, then it was a horrible miscalculation because it’s done the exact opposite.

It’s lifted the pressure off of Israel, at least for now, to end the fight against Hamas. It appears to me that suddenly everyone realizes that Hamas isn’t the only big threat and the reality is that none of them really want to see Israel destroyed. I hope I’m right here because Israel is vital to the world in much the same way that Taiwan and S. Korea are, she’s a source of vital technology and innovation as well as being crucially strategically located, geographically.

Hopefully, now Israel can proceed with the fight against Hamas without the pressure to back down, even if support for it still is lacking, and meanwhile, what will be the response to Iran, if any, for this massive attack?

IT’S GETTING WARMER

And I don’t mean just the weather, though it is. Spring is here, and along with it is an estimated 100 or more attack drones plus a bunch of ballistic missiles from Iran. Directly from Iran, at Israel.

While I type, they’re just now starting to arrive over there. Everybody kept saying that if Iran attacked Israel directly, Israel would attack Iran directly.

So now it’s put up or shut up time. If Israel starts bombing Iran, will the USA join in? And if they do, will they be airdropping food and supplies to the Iranians the way they did to Israels enemies inside Israel? How far will the US hypocrisy extend? Because you know goddam well they won’t do that. That trick is just to screw with the Jews.

I’m glad I’m way over here instead of way over there, and if the radioactive rain does start to fall, I’ve got my bottle of potassium iodide, a full water tank and a large supply of canned and dried foods to last me for years. Let ‘er rip.

OOPS! BUTTERFINGERS!

We all know that Iran is working to build atomic bombs. If they managed to complete one, naturally the Ayatollah would want to see it, and want it brought to him to look at. I think so anyway, and who’s to say I’m wrong.

Since it would be their very first bomb, there’s bound to be a few small mistakes in construction, and it’s possible that some clumsy oaf could bump into it and BANG! Up goes a mushroom cloud in the middle of Tehran, wiping out all the leadership, all the generals and other poobahs, and ending their bomb program.

Their satellites in Lebanon and elsewhere are now leaderless and no longer have any financial backing and weaponry from Iran, and now civil war against Hezbollah will probably break out in Lebanon because the people are sick of them, and the other groups will probably just collapse.

One nuke, in Tehran, at ground level. It would have to be their own. Don’t you think?

SWAN SONG? BLUEHOST IS SHIT.

UPDATE: I found a “backdoor” way into my Bluehost account and reset my Primary email back to what it was. It was sheer good luck. Bluehost is still shit.

I’ve been having a problem with emailing a friend in another state, he can send to me but I can’t send to him. I can send to anyone else I want to, just not him. This started happening about a month ago. I downloaded a new version of my email program but that didn’t fix it. So I went to my ISP account, which is Bluehost, and checked for filters and there are no filters. Nothing to block anyone from receiving my email.

I pay Bluehost a lot of money each year to host my domains and provide me with emails connected to them, but decided to try going outside of Bluehost services and getting an Outlook email, just to see if that would work, and it does.

A few days later I tried logging into Bluehost and they wanted me to enter a 6 digit code they sent to *****.com. No code was ever received. I called Support, was told my primary email address had been changed to an Outlook email address, without my knowledge or permission, and Support could not change it back, and it isn’t the Outlook address that I have.

Support finally sent me a form to fill out and send back online and include a copy of my photo ID and a current utility bill, so I scanned and copied and attached and sent it all back, and a message came back that my email would be reset in 2 days. 3 days later another message came that said ” Okay, NOW, scan this code with your smart phone”. I don’t have a smart phone. So I called support again and was told to email my problem to ownership@bluehost.com, so I did, and got an automatic message back that they would take care of this within 24 hours.

That was 3 days ago. This morning I checked the return address of that automatic reply and it came from REYKJAVIK, ICELAND.

So now I have to go back over my bank records and see when it was that I paid these fucking inconsiderate, incompetent, worthless asshole non-supportive sons of bitches so I’ll know how long I have before they start hitting me with more automatic charges, because before then I will have a new credit card number that they won’t have.

If this isn’t fixed soon I’ll have to abandon my domains and emails, sign up with a new ISP with a new domain name and a new email address and if that happens, that will be the end of Newsbleat. I can’t fix what I didn’t break and can’t reach.

Update, just checked, Bluehost has already hit me with all their charges until the beginning of next August, so I have until then to get this fixed or get a new ISP.

SPRUMMER

Sprummer is when it’s only Spring but feels like Summer, like TODAY. It hit 80 degrees F. today, a glorious day, went out and worked in the garden, digging out the clumps of weeds, installed one of the timers and did some repairs on the watering system. Felt really good to be out on a warm day again.

My cat even caught an incautious lizard and as usual, ran into the main bathroom to play with it, but I was able to rescue it before too much damage was done. She can kill the mice all she likes but the lizards eat the bugs that eat my garden, and I discourage it.

The greening of Spring, the new growth and warming and lengthening of the days always has special meaning to me, it’s like a sort of rebirth of the world. I know it isn’t, but that doesn’t matter, it’s a wonderful time of renewal as new life emerges and new energy flows.

WEDNESDAY FUNNIES

“Shocking stat of the day: Inflation has not fallen in a single month since January 2021, according to Zerohedge. This means that overall prices are up a whopping 19% in less than 4 years.”

Oh yeah, so shocking. Isn’t it odd that about 7 or 8 months ago, when I was in a local hardware store, I watched as they raised all their prices about 40%. And that was just last year. The price of groceries has more than doubled, the price of gasoline has gone up to nearly double.

19% in 4 years? No, over 40% in one year, DOUBLE in the past 4 years, overall. Go suck it, Zerohedge.

You can’t trust one single thing you read in the media.

HOW FAR CAN ISRAEL BE PUSHED?

Just for starters, no nation sends in food and supplies to the civilian population of the country they’re fighting. That’s insane. You don’t feed the enemy.

Yet Israel has been forced to allow massive loads of supplies into Gaza that are immediately raided by Hamas fighters while the non-combatants get shot by them trying to get some for themselves, when they’re the ones it’s intended for.

The US even built a special pier for bringing in this aid by sea and they and a few other nations actually made airdrops of food and supplies, with Israel being forced by US pressure to allow them to fly over their country and do this.

The pressure is primarily the threat of withholding arms and financial aid, and that’s a big threat because the US is Israels largest supplier.

Now the US is talking about withholding all aid anyway unless Israel agrees to stop fighting and let Hamas regroup and take back Gaza. In other words, the US is telling Israel to lose the war. Israel says NO.

Suddenly, Germany is now selling arms and munitions to Israel and I read that they are supplying 30% of what Israel needs. I can’t even speculate right now what’s behind this other than a profit motive.

So that’s at least one source of war materials while everyone else is now backing away from Israel, but for me, this display of Arab ass-kissing isn’t the big issue. It’s the fact that if Israel is backed into a corner where they’re attacked from all sides and they run out of ways to defend themselves and keep from being annihilated, they still have nukes.

I really don’t want to see nuclear war erupt in the Middle East, no matter how much I’ve said that I’d love to see Mecca vaporized, because it probably wouldn’t end there. It could spread across the planet and while I do want to see humanity reduced to more manageable numbers, killing everything else in the process is not the way to do it.

So I hope that the people who are orchestrating all this mayhem over there are taking the time to look to the future and understand the consequences of certain actions. Because I don’t care if you have a massive bunker on Oahu or New Zealand, we will all be victims in such a war, including you.

DON’T POINT YOUR CHICKEN AT ME

The UK has passed a new law. All poultry and captive bird keepers will be required to register their birds from Oct 1, the Government has said. Under previous rules, only flocks of 50 or more birds would have to be registered with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Now you have to register your backyard chickens even if you only have one or two.

This is because the UK has now decided that chickens are dangerous and need a close eye kept on them, because they might develop Bird Flu and spread the infection throughout the known Universe, or at least, Great Britain.

Considering the very short lives of most chickens, between going into the soup pot, being barbecued or eaten by a fox or other predator, this is going to keep the Office of The Registrar Of Chickens pretty busy.

Now, I have some Questions: First, do you count your chickens before they hatch or afterward? Will chickens be required to wear electronic ankle bracelets to keep track of their whereabouts? Since so many chickens look alike, how do you prevent Chicken Identity Theft? Won’t this enable an illegal trade in Unregistered Chickens? A Unregistered Chicken Black Market? A lot of people won’t want to register their chickens, for fear the government will confiscate all chickens regardless of caliber. Long chickens, hand-held chickens, semi-automatic chickens, once registered the government knows where they are, until they get eaten, of course. So how do you UN-register chickens that have passed away?

And when there’s a food shortage, and there will be because of all the farms being shut down and all the hungry migrants coming in, the government will know where all those backyard chickens are, and will confiscate them for the National Good.

The fucking Brits are geniuses at messing up their own lives and we aren’t far behind them with our own asinine rules and regulations.

SUNDAY SERMON

Way back in Ancient Times, even before homosexuals had queer parades and rode unicycles while naked with their balls painted red, and parents had their little boys changed into little imitation girls, there was a place called America where everyone worshiped a Jewish god and called themselves Christians.

They were all a bunch of hypocrites, of course, but they did a pretty good job of maintaining order in the streets and keeping the economy going fairly smoothly, and they watched a television show called “Queen For A Day” where women would compete to be the “queen” and get a lot of money and nice things.

So I’ve decided to bring back something similar, something along those lines, and call it “God For A Day”. Each day people can compete to be God and dictate what happens all over the world. I think this will be very interesting to watch as I doubt the human race would survive a whole week of having a different omnipotent God ruling over it each day.

Imagine if a Sunni Muslim were God on one day and a Shiite the next? Not even a cockroach would survive.

I know not many would see the next sunrise if I were God For A Day because most people just piss me off and the first one to go would be that little unicycle-riding faggot who painted his balls red and rode naked in front of children and everybody in a queer parade in San Francisco. Then maybe Chuck Schumer and his buddies, every fucking Muslim on the planet, I’d wipe Africa clean of them and every negro and anyone else with an IQ under 110 on Earth and every one who ever harmed someone because of their race, of any color. I’d reset the human gene pool.

I’d ban religions and anyone who insisted on keeping theirs would vanish in a puff of brown smoke that smelled like the bottom of an outhouse, and I’d cause every so-called “holy” book and text to disappear forever. I’d set up insane asylums to house people who tried to start new religions.

All militaries would be disbanded, all weapons of war would fall into dust, all flags and national boundaries would be forgotten, no more patriotism or national elections, presidents or prime ministers. No nations, no political parties, just a unified, much depopulated world where people are cleaning up the mess and not making more.

They might not be happy about it at first but they’d get used to it.

I keep thinking about the Social Credit system in place in China now. Everyone has a Smart Phone. They have to. Everyone does all their business, buying, selling, banking and so on, with those phones and everything they do is recorded, everything they say is recorded, and a “Social Credit Score” is generated that determines their status as citizens. Their very lives depend on having a good Social Credit score, and the Central Committee, their government, is their god.

This system will only work as long as the governing body remains sane and stable and this is where AI comes in, because it won’t. Politics will eventually wreck everything. The answer, of course, is for AI to eventually take over the task of governing and become God, and somehow I just don’t have much faith in the benevolence of a god that was created by men. The Old Testament god is exactly that, and it’s a jealous, violent god that smites whole cities and turns people into pillars of salt.
