Iran has stepped down as a major player — Evan X

Iran’s geopolitical standing has just undergone a seismic shift in Middle East.

For decades, it has wielded outsized influence in the region, projecting power through the axis of resistance, arguably the most powerful proxies in recent existence.

This network of proxies, costing Iran an estimated $10 billion annually, delivered soft power through ideological narratives and hard power through militia operations, positioning Iran as a de facto hegemon.

And the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global oil flows, amplified this leverage, as Iran’s threats to seal the chokepoint deterred direct aggression.

___

Abandoning the Axis was a pragmatic bet. BRICS summits and GCC diplomacy offered Iran an exit strategy.

These options meant Iran’s integration into a multipolar order, allowing it to deviate off the collision course it was destined to play out against Israel,

which would have fulfilled the entirety of the neocon chapter in the Middle East.

But instead, BRICS & the GCC indicated to Iran that the cost of its proxies- both financially and diplomatically,

outweighed their returns, as regional convergence favored de-escalation over proxy wars.

This pivot from Iran completely reshaped its geopolitical standing, trading proxy-power influence for pragmatic survival.

The loss of proxies has reduced Iran’s regional clout, but alignment with China and the GCC has unlocked economic lifelines.

In other words, Iran has stepped down as a major player.

Its new position comes at a cost.

A compromised autonomy.

Caught between TPS containment and hegemon vassalization by China, Russia and the GCC.

This downgrade is evident in Iran’s reduced leverage in the region. Its proxy decline has led to a heavy retraction of influence across the levant.

—-

In saying that, I think Iran played the correct dominant strategy. It has very effectively deviated off a destructive path and deepened relations with the GCC and BRICS alignment.

Positive-sum moves in a multipolar world.

Zio-Populism: The New Alliance Between Israel and Europe’s Nationalists

…The linking of right-wing populism with Zionist-friendly causes has also been pursued by political strategists and intellectuals like Steve Bannon and Yoram Hazony since the 2010s. Their distinctive approaches—Bannon’s political organizing versus Hazony’s think tank-building—represent two avenues that the American conservative movement has taken to make the world safe for Zionism in the populist era.

All things considered, what’s unfolding here appears to be a part of a backup plan for international Jewry to preserve itself in a 21st century marked by significant geopolitical upheaval. In a world where the United States can’t always be counted on to slavishly defend Israel, Jewish interest groups will strive to have all their bases covered by buying off populist parties abroad. As more and more voters in the West grow disillusioned with the post-World War II order, populist parties are well-positioned to upend traditional conservative and liberal parties and assume the levers of power.

As a result, the shiftiest elements of the transnational Jewish community will make attempts to insinuate themselves in these populist parties to ensure that they don’t become explicitly anti-Israel, much less antisemitic. Europe’s natural tendency, as evidenced by the scores of mass expulsions of the Jews across the Old Continent over two millennia of recorded history, is one of directly confronting the excesses of Jewish economic and political machinations.

To prevent this persistent element of European politics from making a comeback, Jewish interest groups have made it a point to defang White political power on both sides of the pond since the end of World II. In a post-liberal order, where the United States is no longer the unipolar power and its NGO appendages have lost their credibility, the Jewish diaspora will continue its subversive agenda albeit with a few tweaks in its strategy. Enter kosher populism—the only form of White grievance politics allowed in Jewish-dominated polities.

White advocates would be wise to not fall for the glossy exterior of regime-approved “populist” movements. While they may appear to be anti-system, their flaws with respect to challenging Jewish influence, ruin whatever positives they bring to the table. A hardened political cynic would view philosemitic populist organizations as containment vehicles designed to deradicalize Whites and prepare them for their eventual replacement by millions of foreign interlopers. Under normal circumstances, the White segment of the electorate would be gravitating towards nationalist parties that confront Jewish political power head on.

It can’t be stressed enough that European ethnic nationalism and strong anti-Zionist political movements are not permitted in the West. By leveraging hate speech laws, enforcing deplatforming across social media and financial sectors, and promoting controlled opposition groups, the Jewish lobby has thoroughly shaped the discourse in a way that prevents a friend-enemy distinction from ever materializing—the critical factor in undermining the Jewish supremacist projects.

Thanks to the Talmudic sleight of hand a certain faction of Jews has employed in their infiltration of nationalist groups, they ensure that Whites become cognitively polluted by Judaized talking points and expend vast resources and political energy in futile causes. In the meantime, the transnational criminal enterprise that is the Jewish global network continues to act with impunity—be it in the Middle East through the further consolidation of Israel’s geopolitical standing or by accelerating the demographic annihilation of the West via mass migration.

A strict policy of social distancing from institutions that are committed to preserving the Judeo-American Empire is of the essence. Given the demographic crises facing so many Western countries, it makes little sense to strike a Faustian pact with the Jewish institutions responsible for these developments.

As they say, with the Jews you lose.

Trump Executive Order: Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%

Text:

For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY??? It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the “suckers” of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump signals he will leave Israel in the dust if it won’t cooperate in ending the fighting

US President Donald Trump seems to think Israel could ruin his big trip to the Middle East, and it’s causing trouble. Trump appears to want the Middle East to have a respite from war and mass starvation during his trip to the oil-rich Gulf starting on Tuesday. He is signaling that he can leave Israel in the dust if it doesn’t go along for the ride.

“Rift is too strong of a word, but frustration is bubbling,” a senior western official in the region told Middle East Eye.

Several sensitive dossiers are jostling together ahead of Trump’s visit that are irking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, analysts and diplomats say.

The most consequential file for Trump is the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran, which US Vice President JD Vance said this week have been “so far, so good”.

For months, Trump has scorned Netanyahu on the talks as his closest media allies attack “Mossad agents” trying to hamstring the US leader. By his own admission, Trump even resisted Israeli pressure to launch a preemptive attack on the Islamic Republic.

U.S. Announces China Trade Deal in Geneva

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent: “I’m happy to report that we made substantial progress between the United States and China in the very important trade talks. First, I want to thank our Swiss host. The Swiss government has been very kind in providing us this wonderful venue, and I think that led to a great deal of productivity we’ve seen. We will be giving details tomorrow, but I can tell you that the talks were productive. We had the vice premier, two vice ministers, who were integrally involved, Ambassador Jamieson, and myself. And I spoke to President Trump, as did Ambassador Jamieson, last night, and he is fully informed of what is going on. So, there will be a complete briefing tomorrow morning.”

U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer: “This was, as the Secretary pointed out, a very constructive two days. It’s important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as maybe thought. That being said, there was a lot of groundwork that went into these two days. Just remember why we’re here in the first place — the United States has a massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit, so the President declared a national emergency and imposed tariffs, and we’re confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to work toward resolving that national emergency.”

Trump Suspending More Maine Funds — This Time Over Discriminatory Quotas

The Trump administration is suspending all U.S. Interior Department grants to Maine, due to discriminatory sex-based quotas from the state’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

The move follows the Trump administration’s decision to freeze other federal dollars in the state over investigations into Democrat Gov. Janet Mills’ refusal to protect girls’ sports, in apparent violation of Title IX rules.

“The MDIFW’s policy discriminates in the composition of hiring panels by requiring a quota based on sex,” a letter from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Regional Director Paul Souza to MDIFW Commissioner Judy Camuso said, as first reported by The Maine Wire.

The letter, dated Thursday, told Camuso that all federal grant funding to MDIFW will stop by May 15.

It is reasonable to suspect Israel fudged its covid vax stats, thus misleading the world

Not sure if the graphic below is slanted or not but it does remind me that Israel very well could have volunteered to be the ‘lab rat’ for the covid vax because that enabled them to fudge the stats.

The telling detail is Israel is the only ‘fully vaxxed’ country in the world to see its birthrate go up and not down after vaxxing. Scare quotes around ‘fully vaxxed’ because they would have been in a position to administer saline injections instead of the real vax, which has harmed so many, especially pregnant women and their fetuses.

Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, including victims of Jewish Supremacy. ABN

__________

I generally do not post super-loud images like this one but given the savagery of the Gaza massacre and my own personal knowledge of the intense and vicious savagery of covert Jewish Supremists wherever they are, including in USA, I believe it is appropriate. Moreover, both Israel and USA knew all about 10/07 long before it happened and both allowed it to happen, or even made it happen on purpose (MIHOP). The great majority of Israelis killed that day were killed by the IDF. ABN

Todd Blanche, D John Sauer and Ed Martin are Very Serious People

Deputy U.S Attorney General Todd Blanche, United States Solicitor General D. John Sauer, and Dept of Justice Investigative Lead, Attorney Ed Martin, are very serious people in Main Justice.

The deliberate nature of the trio recently resulted in the Senate division of the weaponized DC system, rejecting the nomination of Ed Martin to lead the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington DC.  The need for control is a reaction to fear. Apparently, the DeceptiCons were fraught.

DAG Blanche coordinates and prioritizes the day-to-day USAO office activity around the country.  Blanche is the general in charge of eliminating Lawfare efforts.  Solicitor General Sauer faces the Supreme Court.  Sauer is the general in charge of framing the arguments from Blanche that reach the court.  Meanwhile, DC USAO Martin, now with position changed to Presidential Appointment Martin in charge of investigating weaponized justice efforts, is the lead investigator on all enmeshed corruption within Washington DC.

Blanche, Sauer and Martin are serious and purposefully driven men.

In our discussions and outlines CTH does not trade in hopium, nor do we promote the popular albeit nonsensical and futile anticorruption efforts favored by most high-profile media types.  The reality of the DC silo system is not easily understood, and that is entirely by design.  High profiles may generate headlines, but do not generate adequate results as increasingly evidenced by AG Bondi, Director Patel and Deputy Bongino, all performers.

As the Washington DC USAO, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials.  There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented.  However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.

Whereas Washington DC USAO Ed Martin previously carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States.  A serendipitous outcome.

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy Over 60% of Women’s Non-Renewable Egg Supply

New study finds rats injected intramuscularly with human-equivalent mRNA doses suffered irreversible loss of primordial follicles — the foundation of fertility.

…Here’s what the study found in simple terms:

Severe Destruction of Ovarian Reserve

  • Rats injected intramuscularly with a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine — at a human-equivalent dose — experienced a >60% reduction in primordial follicles, the foundational egg supply for future fertility (p < 0.001).
  • The inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) also caused loss, but to a lesser extent.

Damage Targets Non-Renewable Egg Supply

  • The primordial follicle pool is finite and non-regenerating — females are born with all the eggs they will ever have.
  • Destruction of this pool is irreversible, leading to permanent fertility loss if translated to humans.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Levels Crashed

  • AMH, a hormone reflecting ovarian reserve, dropped significantly in the mRNA group — both in serum and in ovarian tissue (p < 0.001).
  • Lower AMH is associated with poor fertility outcomes and earlier menopause.

Elevated Cell Death and Inflammatory Signals

  • Increased expression of caspase-3 (a cell-death enzyme) and inflammatory markers like TGF-β1 and VEGF were found in vaccinated rats.
  • These biomarkers are linked to ovarian atresia, fibrosis, and long-term tissue damage.

More Severe Effects with mRNA Vaccines

  • Compared to the inactivated vaccine, the mRNA group had:
    • Fewer growing follicles (primary, secondary, antral, preovulatory)
    • More dying follicles (atretic)
    • Greater reductions in hormone markers of fertility

If these findings indeed apply to humans, the implications for global fertility rates are profound. This kind of damage — to a woman’s lifelong egg supply — is biologically irreversible.

Unfortunately, a recent study by Manniche et al indicates that these ovarian reserve destruction findings likely DO translate to humans. Among ~1.3 million Czech women aged 18–39, those vaccinated against COVID-19 had ~33% fewer successful pregnancies compared to unvaccinated women:

Weaponization czar Ed Martin quietly probed Russiagate foes for months, teases ‘no limit to the targets’

After a revolt in the GOP-led Senate tanked interim US attorney for DC Ed Martin’s nomination this week, President Trump abruptly named him as his weaponization czar, seemingly as a consolation prize.

But behind the scenes, Martin has spent months leveraging his perch as top federal DC prosecutor and quietly operating as a tip of the spear in the administration’s war against Russiagate villains, Capitol riot prosecutions and lawfare, The Post has learned.

Now that his responsibilities have been sharpened, Martin anticipates there “may be no limit to the targets” the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group will pursue under his watch, since there “was no limit to the weaponization.”

“It’s a nationwide and frankly, international docket where the government was used against the citizens, where the government was weaponized,” Martin told The Post about his plans for the weaponization working group.

“Sometimes there’ll be crimes involved, in which case we’ll prosecute. Sometimes there’ll be just the need to make clear this is not how it’s supposed to go.”

AI and zero-click internet are killing the web’s business model

AI and zero-click searches are killing the business model of the web that has sustained content creators for the last 15+ years. It’s an opinion that is shared by many, including Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince, who recently warned that “search drives everything that happens online.”

It’s been known for some time that the web is changing into the Zero-Click Internet, the name for when users no longer need to click on links to find whatever content they want.

Social media sites stopped promoting posts with links years ago, posting content directly on the platforms so users don’t have to leave them. With the advent of generative AI, people are having their queries answered directly on Google’s search page – no need to click on a website to find an answer.

The main issue is that nobody is going to want to create new content when they get paid nothing or almost nothing for doing so. This is especially true when it comes to smaller, independent, impartial sites that AI companies might not partner with. And let’s not forget how often AI gets things completely wrong.
