Für den einigermaßen wachen Beobachter erscheint es, als ob Mossad, CIA, MI6 und BND in Teheran an der Macht wären und sich einen ihren üblichen grausamen Scherze erlauben.

Blake Neff is speaking to the press and wants everyone to know I’m just jealous of Erika, they are also now pushing the talking point that I’m somehow working in coordination with the aims of Hasan Piker, and I have another surprise for you today.
NEW Footage: Is That REALLY Tyler Robinson?
Aug 21, 2026
The aspect ratio was altered. The proportions are visibly off. And the compilation came from the prosecution, not the court. Candace Owens shows footage from September 10th without edits, in slow motion, and asks the only question that matters — is that really Tyler Robinson?
Today In Dystopia: “We Have Cameras Everywhere In That Town”
Reason shared a police body cam video of a cop confidently handing a court summons to a woman for package theft, telling her and her husband that it was “100 percent” certain she was guilty because Flock surveillance had her on camera committing the crime.
“We have cameras everywhere in that town; you can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing,” the officer asserts on camera, saying “It is her, it is 100 percent, it is locked in, there is zero doubt; I wouldn’t have come here unless I was 100 percent sure.”
If that wasn’t Orwellian enough for you, Reason reports that the woman was only able to exonerate herself by providing police with “her cellphone tracking data, camera footage from her truck, and video placing her elsewhere at the time of the theft.” In other words, she was only saved from wrongful conviction based on faulty mass surveillance by providing correct information from other forms of mass surveillance.
US giving Netanyahu free pass on Gaza plan: Palestinian politician
“Netanyahu is stalling, and he is abusing the whole situation, and he is continuing the bombardment,” Barghouti told Al Jazeera.
“Unfortunately, the Trump administration is not responding to the challenge that Netanyahu put on table. Netanyahu rejected the peace plan. He rejected what was proposed. He rejected what Palestinians accepted and has shown great flexibility towards. And the United States, instead of telling Netanyahu that he has to respect what he has accepted before and start implementing it, they’re giving him leeway,” he said.
Medienschau: Geheimpolizei? Gut!
Verfassungsschutz (VS) und BND sollen per Gesetz Polizeibefugnisse erhalten, beschloss das Kabinett am Mittwoch. Was die Dienste bisher einfach so oder mit Amtshilfe erledigt haben, erhält nun Legalisierungstünche. Der Devise, alles dem Krieg gegen Russland und der Aufrüstung unterzuordnen, stimmen die meisten Kommentatoren zu. Sie finden offenbar auch, dass Friedensfreunde, also Staatsfeinde, mehr bekämpft werden müssen.
Redakteure deutscher Bürgermedien finden jedenfalls mehrheitlich eine angriffslustige deutsche Geheimpolizei gut.
Lebanese officials ‘have lost all leverage’ after putting ‘all their eggs in the US-Israeli basket’
The Lebanese government has been left at the “mercy” of the US and Israel after signing on to the Washington-brokered framework agreement, argues Ziad Abu Rish, an associate professor of Middle Eastern Studies at Bard College in the US state of New York.
He noted that Zawthar al-Gharbiya remains the only village Israeli forces have withdrawn from under the framework agreement and Israel has since publicly declared it is no longer interested in creating additional withdrawal zones.
Reopening Strait of Hormuz is a humanitarian imperative
It is worth recalling that the conflict did not begin over disputes about the Strait of Hormuz. As recently as February 28, commercial ships transited the waterway without restriction.
(…)
With the US maintaining the naval blockade during the ceasefire period, Iran responded by stopping and, in several cases, attacking vessels attempting to cross the Strait without its approval. Insurance rates spiked, shipping lines rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope, and transit times increased by up to three weeks.
Wars of this nature benefit no party in the long term, and they rarely reach a logical conclusion. Their primary victims are innocent civilians who have no role in the conflict. Many civilians in Iran and Lebanon have lost their lives directly to strikes.
Netanyahu believes he can ‘continue to act with impunity’
Xavier Abu Eid, a political analyst and former adviser to the Palestinian negotiations team, says the Board of Peace and Resolution 2803 of the UN Security Council were accepted late last year because it was argued at that time that they were the only way to end the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
“But it was very clear from the very beginning that the 20-point plan of President Trump and the 15-point disarmament and implementation plan that followed were more about meeting Israeli interests than the Palestinian right to self-determination,” he said.
Iran Preparing To Fight A FOREVER WAR
Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola discuss how Trump’s war with Iran is pushing Tehran to dig in for a prolonged conflict.
Surprise strikes signal Iran is digging in for a long war
(August 6, 2026)
In recent weeks, Iran has gone on the offensive, striking commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and launching a surprise attack on U.S. forces in Jordan. From a distance, these moves look like self-defeating escalation. Why should a badly damaged state, under severe economic pressure, lash out at the U.S. instead of pushing for a ceasefire?
The answer, simply put, is that Iran is digging in for a long war. Whatever Washington‘s intentions, Tehran increasingly interprets sanctions, negotiations, temporary ceasefires and military strikes as different instruments aimed at a single objective: regime change.
As long as this primary objective remains, Iran expects no sanctions relief or meaningful de-escalation. My conversations with Iranian foreign policy analysts suggest that Tehran now believes the war will continue in different forms until the end of Donald Trump‘s presidency.
Der Iran wird zu einem Verlierer des Westasienkrieges
(July 19, 2026)
Irgendeine Gruppe oder Fraktion hat die Staatsführung des Iran übernommen, in deren Interesse nicht der Iran selbst, sondern die Fortführung des Krieges auf unabsehbare Zeit steht. Welche Rolle dabei der Sohn des in der ersten Angriffswelle auf den Iran am 28. Februar ermordeten „Obersten Führers“ („Supreme Leader“) Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei spielt, erscheint völlig unklar. Bisher ist er nicht in der Öffentlichkeit aufgetreten. Ausgerechnet über israelische Medien wird gestreut, dies werde so bleiben bis zum unabsehbaren Ende des Krieges. Die formal dem „Obersten Führer“ unterstellten Revolutionsgarden agieren gegen die iranischen Interessen. Gewinner des Krieges sind u.a. Ölmagnate, Kriegsproduzenten und der internationale geheimdienstliche Komplex, nicht zuletzt in der Russischen Föderation, sowie der zum Machterhalt auf Krieg und externe Bedrohung angewiesene Machthaber in Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Dabei ist das Interesse der Kriegsgewinnler auf allen Seiten den Westasienkrieg insgesamt noch auszuweiten.
Iran’s list of conditions ‘a deal-breaker for US’: Expert
Richard Weitz, an international security expert at the NATO Defense College, says the US is highly unlikely to accept Iran’s demand for compensation or any other conditions it has set for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
“President Trump has explicitly excluded that [paying Iran compensation] and it wouldn’t have support in Congress to fund such a proposal,” Weitz told Al Jazeera.
“In fact, this whole list of conditions … Iran has reinserted is going to be a deal-breaker for the White House,” Weitz added.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issues drastic new demands of the US, as conditions for reopening Hormuz
Iran’s politburo-like body known as the Supreme National Security Council says the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States “corrects its behavior,” and issues drastic new demands that could shake up talks on a deal to manage the waterway and traffic on it.
Iran’s state broadcaster publishes the statement by the council’s secretary, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who is also a commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guard.
Iran just appointed a national joke to lead security — this is what panic looks like
(August 7, 2026)
He has always had a rather delusional — and at times almost comical — view of security and intelligence affairs. He has a profoundly disturbed mind and a brain empty of knowledge, yet he is highly deceptive and destructive.
Like other Guard officers who once served as secretaries of the Supreme National Security Council, he is intensely anti-Israel. He will therefore naturally pursue the Iranian regime’s terrorist plans against Israel and greater coordination with terrorist groups across the Shiite crescent. Although the illusion that Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive continues to be raised, Rezaei is among those who fight for the survival of power and preservation of the regime.
“I’m Not Political” Just Means “I Support The Status Quo”
Politics is pervading every aspect of our experience of life on this planet. Our only volition is in what we choose to do about this inescapable reality.
Republicans get the Democrat they wanted as socialist Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate primary
Big money, the Democratic old guard and attacks on El-Sayed’s Democratic Socialist leanings dominated the primary, and leave the last man standing on the Left bruised and battered heading into the showdown with Rogers.
We are the Media now!
Einzelkämpfer wie Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson oder Megyn Kelly – um nur die Bekanntesten in den USA zu nennen. Einzelkämpfer bieten dem Publikum vor allem Authentizität. Aber natürlich auch kaum Neutralität, das liegt in der Natur dieser Art des Medienmachens.
Andererseits gibt es wiederum permanent neue Personen, die sich in dieser Hinsicht ins Blickfeld drängen und diesen Nachteil durch Vielfalt ausgleichen.
Das Urteil bleibt dann dem Leser überlassen.
Und genau so sollte es ja auch sein!
Ist Verfassungsbruch schon Alltagserscheinung in Deutschland?
Hat das Folgen?
Nein, denn wie gesagt, es gibt keinerlei vorgesehene Sanktionen bei Verstoß einer Regierung gegen das Grundgesetz.
Staatsrechtler zur aufgeschobenen Ministervereidigung: „Merz handelt verfassungswidrig“
Es geht hier immerhin um eine der größten Regierungsumbildungen in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Und da soll es für einen Teil der Abgeordneten nicht möglich sein, für einen Tag aus dem Urlaub zurückzukehren? Unabhängig davon ist diese Norm aber schlicht geltendes Verfassungsrecht und an dieses hat man sich zu halten. Ich finde es schon einigermaßen verstörend, dass diese Frage überhaupt aufgeworfen wird. Wir betreten da gefährliches Terrain, wenn wir verfassungsrechtliche Vorgaben aus Opportunität einfach links liegen lassen.
Congress Hasn’t Authorized Trump’s Iran War—or Ended It
Congress has not authorized Trump’s Iran war. Until lawmakers either define and limit the mission or stop paying for it, troops and civilians will remain trapped between a president claiming the power to continue and a legislature unwilling to take responsibility for ending it.

Why this time around, Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump might not go to script
Netanyahu has been working to secure an invitation to the White House for several weeks, according to a US official and an Israeli source, to discuss progress in the Iran war and warn Trump against diplomatic concessions.
Trump had been resistant to meeting, and some White House officials have been frustrated at what they regarded as Israeli attempts to secure a meeting through media leaks — to “will a meeting into existence,” the US official said
Seltsamkeiten rund um den CSD-Anschlag
Schnell nach dem Anschlag begann die ritualisierte Reaktion: Debatten über Islam, Islamismus und Einwanderung, (absurde) Demos gegen rechts, und die Regierung bereitet wohl schon neue Überwachungs- und Kontrollgesetze (gegen alle) vor. Wichtige Fragen bleiben auf der Strecke. Etwa: Warum wusste man sofort vom Täter?
How Hakeem Jeffries and J Street Teamed Up for Arming Genocide
When House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries sent out a recent “dear colleague” letter, its second sentence cited “the position articulated by… pro-peace organizations like J Street.” The congressman and J Street were opposing an amendment to block $3.3 billion in military shipments and other aid to Israel.
Jeffries (NY) contended that the measure was “overly broad.” On the same day, using the same phrase “overly broad,” J Street issued a statement declaring that “we support Leader Jeffries’ decision to oppose the amendment.”
Both Jeffries and J Street respectfully noted that many members of Congress had understandable reasons to back the measure. The next day, July 15, a record 103 Democrats voted in favor of blocking weaponry to Israel.
Karim Khan dared to hold Israel to account – and that‘s why he was brought down
This included a media campaign in the Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, The Guardian and latterly CNN; private warnings by David Cameron, then foreign secretary, who told him Britain would defund the ICC and withdraw from the Rome Statute if the warrants were issued; Republican senators who told him: „Target Israel and we will target you“, and being named publicly as a suspect before he had even had the chance to defend himself by the president of the Assembly of State Parties (ASP), Finland‘s Paivi Kaukoranta.
Danon threatened Mamdani with the same fate as Khan. „@NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani, take note: using Israel as a political weapon will not shield you from accountability,“ Danon posted.
House Rule Advances 2027 NDAA With Section to Integrate US and Israeli Militaries
The House on Tuesday approved a procedural vote to advance the $1.15 trillion 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a section to further integrate the US and Israeli militaries, a plan that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said was his idea.
The rule to allow floor debate and a vote on the NDAA and several pieces of legislation passed in a 214-211 vote, and a final vote on the House’s version of the NDAA is expected to take place on Wednesday. The procedural step came after the House Rules Committee denied a vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to strip Section 219, the Israeli integration plan, from the bill.
