This previous sitrep is still valid as to the actions of Mr Trump and Mr Pomeo
Mr Pompeo’s twitter continues to contain just one statement after the other of calls that he is making around the world stressing that the US is committed to de-escalation and that this was defensive action. It is quite a masterful performance of bluster containing nothing.
Mr Trump added a line to his ‘shtick’ saying that he did this to stop a war, not to start a war. This is on the face of it idiotic, as Americans have been warned to leave Iraq as well as anything between 3,000 and 6,000 (conflicting reports) are being sent to the ME, so wanting to ‘stop a war’ is clearly not working out for him.
– Twitter Hashtags #WorldWar3 and #WWIII are trending
– Iran considers the assassination of Qassem Soleimani to be an act of war as well as blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty.
– We are waiting for Iraq as according to reports, they would be voting as we speak whether to ask the US to leave Iraq or not. Information still outstanding.
– A senior Iran analyst for the International Crisis Group (ICG) Ali Vaez stated: “Iran is a very powerful country. It has a network of proxies and partners around the region. It can go after US and US allies’ foreign interests all the way from Yemen to Saudi Arabia, to the UAE, to Iraq, to Lebanon, to Syria and Afghanistan.” He also stated to Euronews that an all-out war between the US and Iran would make the conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq look like a walk in the park and that in this event, the US would likely be alone if it were to go to war with Iran.
– Syria condemned the “treacherous American criminal aggression” that will only strengthen the resolve to continue down the path set “by the martyred leaders of the resistance against American interference in the affairs of the countries of the region.”
– Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Trump “deserves all the credit for acting swiftly, forcefully and decisively.”
– Russia’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the killing and said it will increase tensions throughout the Middle East.
– China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said that they are highly concerned and calls for all sides, especially the United States, to exercise “calm and restraint.” This did not stop the impish Editor-in-chief of Chinese and English editions of the Global Times, Hu Xijin to state the following:
“The US humiliating Iran this way sent such a message to North Korea: If it were not for your nuclear weapons, we would be more brutal on you. Now North Koreans are probably thinking: We can lose anything, but not nuclear weapons.”
and
“US’ Middle East policy has largely failed. It paid costly price of life and money in Iraq and Afghanistan. But a pro-Iran regime has emerged in Iraq, Taliban has recaptured influence in Afghanistan. Eliminating Qassem Soleimani won’t solve US’ dilemma in the Middle East.”
– France – Macron wants to avoid a new dangerous escalation and called for restraint.
– Britain – Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab stated that the UK has “always recognised the aggressive threat posed by the Iranian Quds force led by Qasem Soleimani” but the statement did not endorse or condemn the actions of the U.S. though he stated: “further conflict is in none of our interests.”
– Germany – calls for diplomacy and states that the situation has reached a “a dangerous escalation point”.
What seems to be filtering through from these reactions, is that the US will indeed be alone if it chooses to take any further action but it is early days and it is still the time to watch and analyze.
Please add any further reactions from your own countries in the comments.
If you follow western yellow press (which is the main source of stupid folks) they have already declared Soleimani as “dangerous terrorist leader”. And as Michael Moore mentioned it would take just few days to make majority of Americans believing the same bullshit. Never overestimate the smartness of western folks.
So what will Iran do now or later?
1) nothing
2) let Houthi rebels act like they would do even without any American provocation
Saudis and Israelis are behind this hit so why not let Saudis pay the price: destroy their oil fields, cut money flow and let oil price peak. After all Saudi Arabia is one of those two remaining U.S cornerstones in area. It’s also main source of terrorism in Middle East.
The 14.5mbpd salt water injection plant at Qurayyah (and its nearby power plant) on the shores of the PG would be a perfect target. At 60% recovery 8.5mbpd of saud crude production from the Ghawar/Khurais oilfields inland would be lost ie 80% of sauwahhabi daily crude output.
Why?
Because all is ANZ since the 1700’s.
Even North-Korea & Iran are ANZ proxy’s.
Much of what is going on is by design to soften the world up for the New World Order, aka “Greater Israel”, and of course the complete demolition of the JUSA, and a 90% population reduction, and with Trump’s wall a safer place for Jews to enjoy goy slaves.
China is ANZ, Russia is ANZ, NK is ANZ, all is ANZ;
The murder of the general is a clever decoy to create INTL hatred of the USA and love of JUSA.
Note that all sites and spokesman owned by Israel are saying “TRUMP” made this murder order, yet we all know it was orchestrated by the Mossad.
Israel will step forward and be the guiding light, and eliminate the “Hegemon”, all has been foretold on this site, but the last man standing of course will be JUSA, just the real owner, will now take ownership without proxy’s.
The world first had Pax Britannica when “Britannia ruled the waves”.
The baton then passed on to Pax Americana which “ruled the waves and the skies”.
Now the baton will pass on to Pax Judaica where the One World Government will rule the world from Jerusalem!
For the transition to Pax Judaica the prerequisite is a great war (Armageddon) which will result in the destruction of the USA and the ascendency of Israel.
Thanks, I’m glad somebody here see’s the light.
Funny thing, the pretext here is to dislike what they’re doing, e.g. absolute murder of non-Jew worldwide, but then when you talk about the history, or the fact they’re winning the majority here goes into deNile.
Go figure.
Not sure ‘where’ Jerusalem will be IMHO ‘Israel’ (Palestine) will be destroyed in the war, that’s why they want the wall in JUSA, and the 90% elimination of Goy life, so that JUSA can become the “Chosen Land”. If that fails, they’ll go for New-Zealand, long ago I used to study the history of Zionism, and back in the day they also felt that St. Louis, and Portland(OR) were also adam&eve utopia for Zionism. Of course even the Mormons in Utah think they’re zionists :)
”China is ANZ, Russia is ANZ, NK is ANZ, all is ANZ”
Takes one to slander one (or many).
A wise response. Clown world however rejects wisdom in favor of surrender to the demons.
Screwtape appears to have achieved it’s mandate.
However….
The simple fact is what is ANZ, I suggest you read all of Carrol Quigley ( he wrote a dozen books ), most of which are about this subject of how the ANZ came to rule the world, and not just some of it, but ALL of it.
The common narrative is of course that there is resistance, but all of us who have studied this stuff a lifetime, know full well that all opposition is controlled opposition, very few times do they allow real opposition.
MLK comes to mind Malcolm-X, and of course now our General of Iran has been taken out for crossing the ANZ red-line.
If you study early Mao you would know he was ANZ, and same for the Kim kids of NK, and of course most of the murder’s in the last few 100 years in Russia were carried out by the ANZ, and of course the sale and early occupation of Alaska to Calif, were just extensions of “East India Company” (ANZ)
Just like now, people like to differentiate SOROS and SHELSON-ADELSON, and BIBI, but they’re all Jews first, and everything else is secondary.
To slander is to say something that is not true, but most often here the argument is not argued, just the messenger is personally attacked.
When its said that China is ANZ, NK, and Russia, what is meant that at one time they were and still are ANZ controlled, or owned, most of the world is owned by ANZ, just like the USA(JUSA), even Saker here admits so. Yet the majority of people in the USA would deny they were owned by ANZ. Just like the Matrix most are not aware of reality.
It is usual when writing in a public forum and using initials as acronyms to give the full name the first time, with the acronym in brackets after. That way your readers know what you are talking about.
As I have no idea what or who is ANZ, I am among any others who dont have a clue. Nor do I know who is JUSA.
Could you enlighten me perhaps?
I think it stands for ANglo-Zionist
Anglo Nazism Zionism, aka deBeers, Windsor, Bush, all that is the history of the world, the old British empire, to the USA, to the NWO, always the same people, and they reset and cull populations every few century’s on different continents.
JUSA is the common Jew-Owned-USA, where even the Saker here admits such, even though the majority here deny such, but at least the Saker get’s it, and does reality.
Of course the “J” in JUSA doesn’t really mean Jew, or Judea, as these people are not religious, they’re zionists which is closer to satanism, but many would argue the at original real Judaism was in fact satanic as mentioned in the western bible.
…
ANZ is important because it ties the 1700’s and earlier “East India Company” that ran opium, to the South-Africa diamond/gold mines, all called “Anglo Imperialism”, and “Anglo America Company”
ANZ comes from early “Anglo-American” which was UK-USA joined at the hip by slave trade interests, which was all Jew controlled, as well as the drug and prostitution trades.
Later the American-Anglo would create Nazism ( finance Hitler ), and the Jewish interests that owned it all ( Rothschild ) brought in Zionism, by the 1920’s the perfect marriage had been created the ANZ, which is the NWO of today.
Better to just ignore the original post.
Using an obscure or non-existent acronym like that, says the person has no clue that they are clueless.
Sell Mortimer,sell.
Sorry,couldnt resist.
I do think you are onto something here.
I think more appropriate is Seldes quote.
“Tell the Truth and Run”.
The sauds fear the im strong PMU will easily overrun Riyadh one day. Mobonesaw has bribed trump to carry out this act in return for billions to fight november election. Pelosi is sleeping, THIS is a real impeachable offence not the 10 minute phone call. And trump knows it, that’s why he was so guarded about the attack.
Pompeo is saying that what the us has done (killing soleimani) saved human lifes in europe. Actually pompeo is blaming europe because the EU didn t help the us army in killing soleimani.
With men like pompeo I think that the war is 99% sure. Even if Iran doesn t do anything the us will use any justification to do other bombing attacks in irak in syria. Just say these people are iranian backed terrorists and then the us will attack them. It is that simple.
This situation will escalate for sure. The us wouldn t have killed soleimani otherwise. Another uss liberty operation is likely. Or other false flag attacks on oil tankers in the persian gulf. Tensions are so high that anything would trigger a war.
Reactions from Italy have been predictable, if mixed. Very timid calls for de-escalation from the center-left PD, outright condemnation of what is essentially a US terrorist attack from the communists, and enthusiasm from the supposedly “independentist” Lega, with Salvini openly praising Trump for killing the “terrorist” Soleimani.
All in all, I think Italy won’t have the spine to say no to the US if it wants to use its airfields for attacks on Iran, but I doubt it will join in.
And here is the little son of an other martyr giving him a flower, while they are praying:

This action marks the end of the Empire.
The killing of an envoy is an act of desperation and the absolute nadir of ethical behaviour.
The empire is creating absolute chaos before it ends… Barbarism…
Kansas: I am putting a Tulsi sticker for my SUV.
Regarding Netanyahu, I thought he lost the election and was going to jail for corruption? I can’t understand how he is still the prime minister. There seems to be a freaky supernatural force protecting him.
I think that supernatural force is known as democracy!
JUSA created the “General” then they killed him.
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/477423-us-soleimani-assassination-consequences/
Where have we seen this before? Why does it always repeat the same-same?
It’s almost as if the Simpsons had scripted Trump as POTUS back in 1997, with the “General” as the bad-guy, and some +20 years later all is becomes real.
Noriega comes to mind, and Hussein, the JUSA has a long history of creating and nurturing people who it later kills.
…
Before demons and/or dragons are slain, they first must be demonized and made bigger than life.
The “General” was a “celebrity general” all over the world courtesy of the MSM (JUSA-Israel-ANZ), he is slain by the ultimate faux-goy Trump, a loyal Kosher-Nostra front man for the J-Mafia going back to the 1950’s.
Will it get any better than this??
Wow! Thanks for the link Mortimer – perhaps you should have read it before posting. Scott Ritter’s article in no way confirms your idea that General Soleimani was a MSM creation neither did his life or actions – he was very real so was his actions and energy. It’s shameful that you attempt to make him a caricature when he was clearly a force for good. Sweet dreams Mortimer.
Mortimer you are either deluded, or you are nothing more then a paid dis-info troll from the troll farm.
One thing’s for certain here: Mortimer will never be targeted for assassination by the AngloNazi Zionists. Just (personal attack deleted, mod) the absolute antithesis of Soleimani.
All of the talking heads are missing the obvious ramifications of assassinating one nation’s top military leader, as well as several Iraqi leaders… They discuss this as if they were speculating on the impotent reaction of some hapless “shithole country”. Take a big giant step backwards and look at the situation soberly from the Iranian perspective.
They have absorbed literally hundreds of strikes on their personnel and materiel, doggedly focused on avoiding any reaction that could be used as a pretext for war against them. But it seems clear that the US has already decided upon war and that being the case, the Iranians have every reason to hit the US as hard as they can with as much of their striking power as they can bring to bear before those units are taken out by the US bombing campaign which is now absolutely coming.
Right now there are major surface combatants of the USN in the Gulf…and within easy range of Iranian shore based anti-ship missile batteries. The US has already made noises that if the Iranians “retaliate” that the US intends to begin bombing the Iranian oil infrastructure…perhaps they would be wise to take out the oil infrastructure of the Gulf Arab states (including Saudi Arabia). Maybe they might decide that there is no longer any hope of avoiding war and that they should use this opportunity to seize the initiative (and perhaps gain escalation dominance) by skipping the tit for tat nonsense and moving straight to a large scale attacks at vital US/Arab/Israeli infrastructure.
What then Batman? The US would not only find itself with a huge war on its hands, but one that it was actively losing.
Bibi hastening to place *all the* credit on the Donald. Suspicious wording for one not involved…
Calling for ‘restraint’ now, after the U.S. has ignited the fire seems quite hollow. Trump and Pompeo said they did it to prevent a war, not start one! They are trying to deescalate they say, which is why they are bringing in rapid response units for a bigger conflict. They say they stand with the Iraqi and Iranian people! Why isn’t anyone calling them out for committing murder of a public official who was traveling openly, not engaged in anything threatening? They don’t wish to offend their master?
The first thing my wife asked me when she came home yesterday was ‘so what is happening? Is there war?’ I paused and said ‘not yet. It depends on how Iran reacts.’ This came back to me later in the day and I realized I was mistaken. It doesn’t depend on Iran at all. It depends on the U.S., Israel, and NATO countries and they have already, long ago made their decision. I place the odds of war at well over 80%. ‘The game has changed’ quipped the empty suit, Mark Esper. They are already talking about ‘pre-emptive strikes’ against Iran if ‘they hear reports’ of an Iranian threat. They have just opened wide the entire can of worms.
I’m going to stick my neck out and make a prediction. I hope I’m wrong. I don’t think we can rely on logic here because the world is not dealing with entirely rational, logical, reasonable parties. There will be an event, real or imaginary. Americans will die. It doesn’t have to be a real event. They only need to say it happened. The Gulf of Tonkin provocation never happened. They simply claimed it did. And they will invoke the NATO charter since one of their members has just been attacked, and an attack against one is an attack against all. With Britain, France, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. doing bombing runs, blowing the crap out of their main cities and infrastructure, Iran being simply overwhelmed, a land invasion will be attempted.

They have already decided what they are going to do.
There will be no war. Neither side can afford it. If a war breaks out, the global economy is blown to pieces.
The Iranians simply will do what they do anyway, solidifying their position in the wider region. They might consider doing something that they had their eyes on for some time but judged to be to provocative. Now they can. The US may hit back at some local folks in Syria and/or Iraq. But that wouldn’t bother Iran, it would be largely meaningless.
As for NATO, the US can try to invoke Art.5,but they never get an unanimous vote unless Iran hits something on US soil. And even then,it means nothing. If and to what extend individual NATO countries would help/contribute is still entirely up to them. If there is a conflict with Iran, the US will be alone in it.
Did you ever consider that the real rulers of the west and much of the world are planning to blow up the economy? This is classic crisis, reaction, solution. They will blow up the economy to bring forth their solution. A different monetary system which gives them total control of it. It would allow them to monitor every transaction. It would allow them to prevent or allow people to make purchases. Eventually, they will decide who lives and who doesn’t. Who breeds and who doesn’t. Where we live. Where we work. When, where and how far we can travel. The entire ball of wax. If you think I am delusional, do some reading about U.N. Agenda 21, now Agenda 2030. Codex Alimentarius.
And I recall the biblical warning: nobody will buy or sell unless they have the mark of the beast.
As to not being able to afford such a war, the U.S. part of the empire runs the printing press.
@ Craig
‘Here is the mind that has wisdom.’ ‘this calls for wisdom’ Rev. 17:9 and Rev. 13:18
Upon these two scriptures hangs everything worth knowing really about the finality of human history period. One deals with history and a coming king and the other deals with the future of commerce and banking? Typical isn’t it? All of which centers around the City of Jerusalem and of course Babylon the city with 7 hills which is either Rome or Washington? an excerpt from Gerry Fox’s book The book of Revelations A mystery Solved:
The Rome of today though is a far, far cry from the Rome of yesterday. Roads no longer lead to her doorsteps, her military is practically non-existent, economically there is no Wall Street, no Federal Reserve, no reserve currency, and she is certainly no port city as exemplified in Rev. 18. To find a city of comparable description and one need only look across the Atlantic Ocean to a city like New York or perhaps Washington rather and why? Well, get this Washington has its own seven hills the names of which are:
Capitol Hill
Meridian Hill
Floral Hills
Forest Hills
Hillbrook
Hillcrest
Knox Hill
Washington/New York – Babylon? Well, don’t throw out the possibility just yet for as it is often said truth is stranger than fiction. Given America’s power and influence over practically the entire world and if she doesn’t sit as a king or queen over it all? Remarkably like Babylon of old?
But Israel can afford the war and is lusting for it. Iran wouldn’t do anything provocative but USA will surely find some way to attack Iran. As for USA being alone in it, UK said that they have a nuclear submarine ready to strike Iran

Here chew on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of the comments to that tweet make me shake my head. It isn’t hard to see why we have come to this place in time. Iran will be crushed within a week. Their navy gone in an instant. Vietnam was crushed in a week? Hell no. Years later they still haven’t defeated anyone. Neither in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen or Syria.
Those who proudly declare that they stand with their president are self convicting themselves of terrible crimes.
A point not to be lost in this:
Soleimani was killed arriving for planned attendance of funeral for 31 Iraqi soldiers.
Like inviting someone to your house and your “frienemy” killing them in your house.
Think how that plays out in Iraq in the hearts and minds of Iraqis.
Put everything else aside about US, Iran, implications for everyone else.
That was a bad, bad move having nothing to do with Iran.
That was as much an attack on Iraq as it was on Iran.
Follow up attacks show the truth to this as well. Welcome to Iraq War 3.0
Norway is towing the US line by blaming Iran but calling for restraint from all parties. No surprise, Norwegian politicians are only a few levels above the US politicians in the iq levels and performance..

Western press running the theme that reactive reprisals trouble is on its way so beware and increase the hysteria..this justifies the opinion of Iran as a terrorist country….it might have happened anyway …so better to have done the assassination to show what west would do even more………….and probably will do.
“Die Zeit” is a leading German weekly. Here are the main points from an op-ed by Michael Thuman, https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2020-01/raketenangriff-usa-irak-iranischer-general-kassem-soleimani-toetung-folgen?utm_source=pocket-newtab:
• Headline: The Assasination is a Declaration of War.
• This assassination compares to that of Austria’s heir apparent in Sarajevo [that triggered WW I].
• Already the advisers of G.W. Bush and B. Obama considered the killing of Gen. Soleimani, but both presidents resiled from doing so.
• Iran could possibly, after three days of national mourning, raise a storm of attacks against hostile targets in the Near East. Could be Trump has made a great strategic foolishness.
• By killing Kassem Soleimani, Donald Trump has enormously narrowed his options of actions in Near East.
• Should Iran hit back against the world’s oil supply or American troops, Trump would remain but a campaign against a country of 80 million people. In comparison, George W. Bush’s Iraq war would look like a promenade.
America will NOT be alone.
It will form another grand Coalition of the Killing, comprised of itself, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the major military power of Poland!
God Bless America forever and ever!

Sorry if this have already been posted, i just found it on twitter..

What about our Canada – or “Canasta”, as I have called it for many years. (We are an American game). Don’t expect anything brilliant and brave from our “leaders”. They are all whimpish, Yankee vassals.

The German conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) shares a Youtube video describing apparently Iranian hackers hijacking the web site of a US government agency:
