The Maelstrom of the Iran War

The US war against Iran didn’t start in late February 2026. This war, part of a larger complex of conflicts, has been going on in one form or another since 1979. Indeed, since 1953 when one considers the CIA coup against a democratically elected socialist government. Then again, the Cold War was on, and the Cold War was an existential mess between two mutually alien systems. Millions died despite the “cold” nature of the conflict, too. Indeed, one can easily go back to 1914 when the Ottoman Turks and its enemies the British and Russians all invaded Persian Iran during the First World War. Later in the Second World War the Soviets and the British invaded and divided up Iran. The Middle East is a cauldron of wars and conflicts, but Donald Trump is no Alexander the Great.

He is a corrupt, oligarchic buffoon with the attention span of an infant surrounded by incompetent sycophants who feed his fragile ego. Furthermore, the quasi-fascistic and corrupt authoritarian regime of Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu has led Trump figuratively by the nose directly into the biggest, worst maelstrom in the Middle East in ages. This is not a war for Israel’s survival as much as it’s a dog of distraction to suck people’s attention away from the grotesque wickedness found in the Epstein Files. Trump comes up numerous times in those files in ways that allegedly point to his participation in gross criminal activities. There are additional controversial mysteries connecting the sex and trafficking scandals of Epstein’s dark web to Israeli government agencies including intelligence, which, of course, the Israelis deny. All of this demonstrates the incompetency of Trump and his shameless cohorts.

This war is also a significant distraction from the release of the so-called UFO Files and the push for full Disclosure of UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) and NHI, Non-Human Intelligences. Trump launched his wag-the-dog war just days after first Obama and then Trump upon an airplane set imaginations ablaze with their goofy, uncomfortable chatter about “UFOs and Aliens” with Trump declaring what Obama said is “classified” and he might have to get Obama “out of trouble.” There is an Israeli connection to NHI issues as well. In 2020, Haim Eshed, the highly respected, retired former military general and intelligence officer who both served as the director of the Israeli Space Program and in related covert space programs for decades, declared there exists a Galactic Federation of Non-Human species, and we Earth humans are not yet ready for membership. Eshed also alleged US presidents including Trump know about these ETs. If these allegations regarding technologically-advanced NHI are indeed true as nine decades of claims by numerous credible people, imagine what these NHIs may be thinking as they observe and evaluate us Earth humans destroying ourselves, our global economy, and further damaging our biosphere? Are we distracted from the Iran War yet?

Dreams, Time Travel, Ghost Cities, and Reality

When a dream seems more of a portal
than a fantasy during sleep

Had the strangest dream last night. This morning, actually. Monday morning, the 21st of April 2025. Seemed so real. So real. What does it mean? Sometimes a dream is just a dream, and sometimes one feels much more is going on deep down in the subconscious. Or maybe one’s dream opened into the astral realm. Perhaps the dream is prophetic. Or rich with the late Joseph Campbell’s mythos of the Hero’s (or Heroine’s) Journey. Then again, perhaps as Sigmund Freud supposedly declared over a hundred years ago, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” The dream is just a dream. Or is it?

Inside the Dream:
Was busy working on the sales floor at the Downtown Seattle REI store, but inside didn’t seem like any place I recognized. At the same time, however, I seem to know it anyway in some weird fashion. The store seemed familiar and purposeful even tho I did not recognize the interior as the same Downtown Seattle store I worked at in real-life, in the awakened world. I remember being aware of this contradiction while dreaming this dream. Does such self-awareness of dream while dreaming define this as a lucid dream?

Was startled and awed by the superimposition of Ancient civilization from far away phased into the same timeline and geographical place in space as Postmodern, 21st Century Seattle, Washington. I felt the ghostly shadows and outlines of an Ancient Middle Eastern civilization transposed upon the Downtown Seattle REI store. Lots of old stone, clay, and brick buildings. Tall columns with arches and layers of stairs and stepped platforms and cobblestone streets. The old city was not in ruins, but alive as if I could step across time into both. The people native to this old, long ago city dressed in a mix vibrant colors and plain clothing. They moved with mundane purpose, and sometimes with excitement. Scenes shifted as if I was in a reel of some old documentary at the same time I watched it. Shifted in seconds. Another oddity was I navigated the corridors and spaces of both the REI Store and this ancient city with ease, as if it was natural. Didn’t felt weird in the dream. Felt weird while awake after the dream looking back. Customers actually in 21st Century Seattle only sensed the Store, not the transposition of the old city. Continue reading

On the 7th of October one year after the Massacres

The Middle East is the Hub of the World where wars constantly start and peace seems impossible. The only solution is a united planet with a global democracy, and can anyone seriously imagine our species being intelligent, mature, and evolved enough to come together to make it so? 

Had my own moment of silence. Today. So many emotions. One year after Palestinian terrorists from Iran’s proxy militia Hamas broke out of Gaza into southern Israel and murdered about 1,200 people. Most were Israelis, Jews, but others were citizens from more than 30 different nation-states and from other religions. A large number of those were Thais working in Israel. Most of the Thais were likely Buddhist. The killed and wounded ranged from babies to the elderly and from across all genders. Hamas engaged in mass carnage. The Israeli counterattacks have killed and maimed many, many more in Gaza, tens of thousands more, mostly Palestinians but also others from different countries and religions including Christians. 

Since then the war has spread across Gaza and Israel to the West Bank, Yemen, Lebanon, and has drawn in Iran, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and several European allies including France, Italy, and the UK. Waves of anti-Semitism and sometimes violent pro-Palestinian protests have erupted in numerous countries including here in the USA. There have been vigorous pro-Israeli and pro-Jewish pushback. There are also mass demonstrations within Israel against their Prime Minister Netanyahu and to negotiate a ceasefire to return the remaining hostages home alive. Mass protests by Israelis against Netanyahu had been going on well before the Hamas butchery as Israelis rose up in the streets against their increasingly Far Right, authoritarian, and heavy handed regime.

President Biden’s Inflection Point

Pay attention to what the American President … and the Chair of the Fed declared

Inflection Point with what’s next. On a rare, hand drawn graph…

“Good evening, my fellow Americans.  We’re facing an inflection point in history — one of those moments where the decisions we make today are going to determine the future for decades to come.” ~ from President Joe Biden’s Address to the Nation Thursday night on the 19th of October 2023.

“We’re facing an inflection point in history…”

Those words are significant. He’s preparing the world for war.

“That’s what I’d like to talk with you about tonight. “ Except he really did not further address the inflection point. Continue reading
