Trump’s latest attack on Iran primarily means to shred the last lines of American democracy and enthrone Trump as forever warlord/dictator.
Formally known as “Operation Epic Fury,” it’s really “Operation Epstein Desperation.”
Here are a baker’s dozen of its many pillars:
1. THE EPSTEIN BOMB: The Epstein/FBI files may definitively confirm that Trump has indeed abused underage women. At least one Trump victim may be set to testify. Bill Clinton’s appearance before Congress erased any alleged barrier against ex-Presidents testifying in a public hearing.
2. MAGA RAGE: Final proof of his pedophilia could shatter Trump’s core MAGA support. The fate of the pedo formerly known as Prince Andrew is a red flag. As is the relentless fury of once-devoted MAGA women like Marjorie Taylor Greene, and among Christian Nationalist men who are actual Christians. Thus Trump’s wag-the-dog desperation for a military diversion.
Today the Trump Administration, at the behest of the decrepit Netanyahu government, was instrumental in the bombing of a girls’ elementary school, killing 57 children. Let that sink in. Journey to the center of the world of American leaders’ madness and ruin to see desperate Iranian parents picking through rubble, searching for any signs of their little girls.
Now tell those parents, as we are being told, that America has done this so the Iranian people can be free. It’s the Empire’s new equation, Freedom = Death.
This murderous approach that the Trump Administration has wantonly indulged is identical to the policy of the Netanyahu government to bomb schools in Gaza and to murder innocent children as a (psychopathic) determination of heading off retribution in the future. The murder of children has become a state sacrament.
This is, in fact, an extension of the Epstein saga, the destruction of innocence through child rape, murder and cannibalism by powerful people whose thirst for blood will never be slaked in this cartwheeling carnival of human sacrifice called war.
So now the die is cast and the United States has joined Israel in an unprovoked attack on a non-threatening Iran to destroy its military capabilities and to bring about regime change. This is a major mis-step that could easily turn out very badly as it is a pointless war of choice that could easily escalate to neighboring states and become nuclear if a reckless Israel decides it needs to “defend” itself against an Iranian response. US Navy vessels might also find themselves vulnerable to Iranian missiles.
As we all predicted, the Israeli regional war started against the wishes of
the world of course with US partnership and blessing. US supplied jets fly
overhead refueled by US jets, protected by the US anti-missile umbrella and
US Navy. The sirens are blazing. The US government had asked for mandatory
urgent evacuation of US citizens here in occupied Palestine. Did the
200,000 dual Israeli-US citizens leave? Did the 12500 of those who are
currently serving in the Israeli military and committing crimes and
genocide leave? There are wars and rumors of more war.
I on the other hand work 15 hours a day (as a volunteer) seven days a week
with staff and volunteers building institutions and working with thousands
of people towards a better future not just in Bethlehem and Palestine but
globally. People were being butchered in Gaza and surviving ones are hungry
and cold in tents blockaded and besieged. We were helping many families,
some who lost many members of their family.
As the illegal war on Iran started which promises to lead to a global
catastrophic war with no winners, Palestine is still the issue as the late
Last night, the United States and Israel launched what can only be described as an unprovoked and illegal attack on Iran. The strikes reportedly targeted several Iranian cities, including the residences of the Supreme Leader and the President, along with other state officials and military and security sites.
Yet beyond the declared military objectives lies a harsher reality: non-military areas were hit, homes were reduced to rubble, and civilians paid the price. In Minab, a girls’ elementary school was struck, leaving dozens of children dead or wounded under what were cynically framed as “liberating bombs.” In Kermanshah, the residential neighborhood of Pardis was also attacked. Whatever the stated aims, the human toll is undeniable.
There are also reports that the Islamic Republic has launched dozens of missiles toward Israel, as well as toward Bahrain, Qatar, and Iraq—where U.S. military installations are located—raising the specter of a wider regional war. This escalation unfolds against the backdrop of years of conflict and devastation across Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and beyond.

The best part of the night during the Trump's State of the Union Address (SOTUA) was when the two most popular Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib's shouting filled the hall. The reason? A fierce clash between Trump, Omar, and Tlaib went under Trump's skin, and you could see it in his eyes.
The confrontation began with sparks flying from their eyes of both Congresswomen as Trump was standing, proudly proclaiming his achievements in border security, when suddenly Ilhan and Rashida couldn't tolerate Trump bragging and showing off. They shouted at him with all their might, accusing him outright: "You're killing Americans!" Ilhan Omar went even further, calling him a liar with a single word that shook the hall: "Liar!" Two Americans citizens who were shot dead in cold blood by ICE agents in Minneapolis were constituents of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Omar reminds me of "Mama Bear" because she is loving and protective of her constituents.
Arabs have always used fables when reality becomes too blunt to state plainly.
There is a story about a wolf teaching his cub survival. He takes him to a flock of sheep and says, “Their meat is good.” Then he points to the shepherd and warns, “His stick is painful. Do not underestimate it.”
The cub looks at the dog standing beside the sheep and says, “He looks like us.”
The father replies, “Be careful of that one. Most of the harm we have suffered did not come from the shepherd. It came from those who resembled us — but chose to stand with him.”
The shepherd’s hostility is not confusing. His stick is visible. His role is clear. It is the familiar face standing comfortably beside power that requires discernment.
Last week, the UK High Court ruled that the British government’s designation of Palestine Action as a terrorist organization was unlawful and disproportionate. The court found that banning the group constituted a serious infringement on freedom of expression and assembly. The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, immediately decided to appeal the ruling and request reconsideration.
Here come the judges: Supremes slap down tariffs, yay. Emperor Donald calls treason, nay. Judges don’t like his deportations either, nor his censorship at National Parks, neither. Eppie-boy (rest in pieces) files are causing stumble and tumble in elite circles, and King Don has fired his base – or anyway, laid them off. In Kentucky. Don’t gloat: you’re next.
This March 28, 2026, millions of pro-democracy “No Kings” marchers should also demand “No Nukes” in the wake of March 28, 1979’s meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant.
While a cluster of Democratic governors push restarts of deadly old nuclear power plants like TMI and Michigan’s Palisades, King Donald also wants to restart nuclear weapons testing.
The “No Kings” challenge to Trump’s oligarchic threat to democracy, joined with the “No Nukes” demand for a Solartopian Earth—totally green-powered, no nuclear plants, no atomic weapons—will create an epic moment for the human future.
Trump is the first U.S. president to fire a chairman of the five-member Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The NRC was originally entrusted to oversee the 94 U.S. commercial nukes. Now Trump reigns supreme over atomic reactor safety. It’s a terrifying reality.
