If Hollywood ever decides to tell the true story of nuclear it wonā€™t need to resort to sensationalism.

This is true. Itā€™s more than enough to just call out the worldwide investment scam perfectly designed to steal massive amounts of money from citizens of regional governments.

But in a highly unusual move, the White House refused to approve Dr. Schoonoverā€™s written testimony for entry into the permanent Congressional Record. The reasoning, according to a June 4 email seen by The New York Times, was that the science did not match the Trump administrationā€™s views.

Does anyone know of a summary of the evidence on the tanker attacks?

The Trump Regime and the Saudi regime have more to ā€œwinā€ from a clash in the Persian Gulf than the Iranian regime. The Saudi regime wants the Trump regime to destroy their regional opponents, the Trump regime wants the prestige and polling bump from starting a war. The Iranian regimeā€¦ but cui bono isnā€™t reliable.

Not in entirety, but hereā€™s an aspect.

Iā€™ve also seen on Twitter a calculation of how high the price of oil needs to be for Russia not to run a national deficit.

Good to know that ā€œattackā€ means ā€œwe removed the mine.ā€ I mean, I assume, because the dumbfuck pretext for war is being talked up by the dumbfucks who probably know who actually laid the mines. (choose among RussiaSaudiTurkeyIsrael)

This is going to be one of those events where the truth is not going to come out for a long time, I betā€¦ But Iā€™d say, we do good to remember Gulf of Tonkin hereā€¦ I donā€™t know if it was a false flag, but I seriously doubt the Iranians would do this. They are stretched too thin as it is (with support for Assad, Hezbollah, and Hamas), and they know the consequences of an open war with the Saudis and their allies - it would mean Iran in chaos and regime change for sure.

AAAAAAND David Brooks on NPR invokes Broken Windows Policing as a reason why the U.S. needs to inflict consequences on Iran.

He also mentioned several attacks over the last couple months, that I wasnā€™t aware of, that he attributed to Iran as examples of Iran testings its limits.

ā€œTheyā€™ve been blowing up Saudi pipelines; there was the missile sent into Saudi arrivals terminal of an airport; greater attacks on Yemen.ā€

My assumption is False Flag.

Iā€™m not certain what proof could change my mind and that is a bit worrisome in and of itself.

Those were my 1st and 2nd responses too.

Thereā€™s no reason for the Iranian regime to do this.

Which was why I asked here.

Once the White House switches political parties and the new guy does not ā€œreveal the hidden truth,ā€ no respectable person will continue to express skepticism about the official narrative of events after that.

What you choose to believe or disbelieve in the privacy of your own skull will continue to be up to you.

The upshot for all you meat eaters is that chicken and beef will get rather inexpensive next summer. There will be no field corn to feed these critters.

Inexpensive during the cull. Expensive afterwards.
