Der Iran wird zu einem Verlierer des Westasienkrieges

(July 19, 2026)

FĂŒr den einigermaßen wachen Beobachter erscheint es, als ob Mossad, CIA, MI6 und BND in Teheran an der Macht wĂ€ren und sich einen ihren ĂŒblichen grausamen Scherze erlauben.

Iran Threatens to Attack US Bases in European Countries

“There is no justification for any country to fear Iran unless that country opens its territory to the United States for aggression against Iran,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday. “It is Iran’s right to target the source and origin of any aggressive action against the Islamic Republic.”

US-Oman ties face strain as Muscat walks tightrope between Washington and Tehran

(August 21, 2026)

Mr Trump himself agreed in a signed document that Oman would “conduct dialogue” with Iran to define the future administration and maritime services in the strait.

“Oman’s negotiations with Iran over a mechanism to manage the Strait of Hormuz appear to have been a bilateral Iran-Oman effort, though it’s true that the memorandum of understanding from June endorsed a 60-day Iranian-Omani mechanism,” Marc Sievers, former US ambassador to Oman, told The National. “It is also true that the US and Iran understood this point differently, which led to the collapse of the MoU.”

Carney says trade deal became untenable when U.S. ‚asked too much and offered too little‘

In a departure from his usual diplomatic language, Carney suggested the U.S. sometimes signs trade deals in „pencil,“ and while Canada‘s government is united and working together, the same is not true of the Trump administration.

„We cannot accept what they‘ve offered, and we will not give what they‘ve asked,“ Carney said on Saturday in Ottawa, adding that the United States ‚asked too much and offered too little.‘

Kanada widersteht, Europa kapitulierte: Zwei Antworten auf denselben Druck

Im Juli 2025 stand die EU vor derselben Drohung: US-Zölle von bis zu 50 Prozent auf praktisch alle Warengruppen. KommissionsprĂ€sidentin von der Leyen reiste dafĂŒr auf den schottischen Golfplatz Trumps in Turnberry – ein Umstand, den selbst wohlwollende Kommentatoren als Affront werteten. Das Ergebnis: ein Pauschalzoll von 15 Prozent auf die meisten EU-Exporte in die USA, wĂ€hrend die EU im Gegenzug ihre Zölle auf US-IndustriegĂŒter auf null senkte – zusĂ€tzlich zu Investitionszusagen in Höhe von 600 Milliarden Dollar und EnergiekĂ€ufen von 750 Milliarden Dollar.

Der Rechtswissenschaftler-Fachdienst LTO brachte die Debatte auf den Punkt: WĂ€hrend Trump vom grĂ¶ĂŸten Handelsdeal aller Zeiten sprach, werteten Kritiker die Einigung als Unterwerfung und Kapitulation der EU gegenĂŒber einer irrationalen US-Handelspolitik.

The Federal Government Has Borrowed Trillions. Who Owns All that Debt?

In August 2026, the nation’s gross debt eclipsed $40 trillion. Of that amount, approximately 80 percent was debt held by the public — representing cash borrowed from domestic and foreign investors. The remaining 20 percent was intragovernmental debt, which simply records transactions between one part of the federal government and another.

Iran’s Top Politicians Urge an End to the War

DUBAI—Iran’s top politicians said the country needs to focus on ending the war and shoring up its crippled economy, pushing back publicly against hardliners who are taking a more defiant approach in the six-month-old conflict.

The comments by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf come as the diplomatic track remains stalled and the Trump administration has shifted to a policy of ratcheting up economic pressure via sanctions and the naval blockade of Iran’s ports.

World is amazed by Iran’s ‘resistance, solidarity and cohesion’: Pezeshkian

Iran’s president says Washington falsely predicted before the war that the country would fall amid US aggression and become like Venezuela.

“The enemy had assessed that if Iran falls, it will become Venezuela,” he said in a televised speech.

“Not only did it not happen, but it became a power that amazed the world with its resistance, solidarity and cohesion.”

Pezeshkian said Iran’s enemies hope to “create division and rift in society through problems”.

“We will try with all our might to avoid division, rift, conflicts and egos,” he concluded.

Washington Co. sheriff details how tip from retired detective brought in Tyler Robinson

(September 17, 2025)

Brooksby said he was winding down for the evening when, at approximately 8:02 p.m., he received a call from his friend, a retired detective.

According to Brooksby, his friend shakily said something along the lines of, „Hey, I know who Charlie Kirk‘s shooter is. I know the family through religious association, and he‘s in Washington County now.“

The retired detective said they were working to get Robinson to turn himself in voluntarily.

Robinson‘s family knew that he was involved with law enforcement and trusted that they could go with him.

Prosecutor‘s Distorted Surveillance Footage of „Tyler Robinson“ in Parking

(August 11, 2026)

This morning a friend sent me news reports of the underground parking garage surveillance footage of a young man that prosecutors claim is Tyler Robinson, arriving at Utah Valley University on the morning Charlie Kirk was shot.

Prosecutors claim the young man in this footage then left this garage around 11 a.m., then returned a short time later wearing pants, a black top and Converse shoes.

Charlie Kirk was targeted for his politics, prosecutors say bullet engraving shows

(August 19, 2026)

Prosecutors in Charlie Kirk‘s killing pointed Tuesday to an engraved bullet, arguing that the inscription „Hey Facist! CATCH!“ demonstrates that Kirk was targeted for how the defendant perceived his politics.

Whether defendant Tyler Robinson acted out of political animus could be key for prosecutors seeking the death penalty — or for his attorneys in taking that punishment off the table.

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.
