Regime’s threats to broadcasters can’t stop video leaking
Israel’s ban on footage of Iranian missile attacks and struck sites has again failed to prevent footage of the mass retaliatory bombardment leaking out as Iran strikes back after Israel’s murder of Iranian civilians and scientists.
The sky above Israel was filled with missiles again this evening, many succeeding in reaching targets on the ground in Tel Aviv and other areas:
Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ anti-missile system again failed to intercept many of the incoming projectiles – and again some of Iron Dome interceptors appeared to malfunction and strike residential areas:
Tel Aviv was hit particularly hard:
A different angle of the above strike.
The strikes come amid reports that Israel is close to exhausting its stocks of Iron Dome missiles:
Iran media promised a ‘surprise’ for Israel tonight that would be ‘remembered for centuries’; this does not appear to have taken place yet, as the strikes on Israel so far tonight are along the lines of previous nights. There are also reports that the US will directly attack Iran tonight – and from Iran that the Iranian military have already drawn up lists of US targets in the region to attack in the event that the US does so.

The US Congress and Senate would have a vote this Friday trying to ensure that Trump seeks the agreement of the House before engaging into war with Iran.
In response the Young Turks have launched a campaign for American citizens to sign their commitment that at the next election, they would not vote for representatives that vote in favour of war with Iran.
Thus, we are really going to see the power of AIPAC, as we know how they support to the hill the election campaigns of politicians on all sides that support Israel.
It is going to be interesting to see if specially the Republicans put America first or Israel first.
The key question is not who are they not going to vote for, but who are they going to vote for?
The Democrats are just as far into the pockets of the Deep State Banker Bosses as the Republicans* – who currently have Palintir Rent Boy Vance performing his Squealer (from Orwell’s Animal Farm) tribute act by telling the discontented MAGA base which is starting to rebel that what is happening is in line with the MAGA project (or some such nonsense); whilst Daddy Trump is busy lecturing the MAGA base that he, and he alone, determines what MAGA is all about (translation “STFU” and do as I tell you”).
As Jill Stein and others will attest, the number of non-controlled by the Oligarchy third parties allowed to stand candidates is becoming increasingly difficult if not impossible as a result of lawfare challenges in each constituency at every level by those acting on behalf of the Oligarchy.
The likely consequence of this systemic gerrymandered feature is that any alternative is effectively cut off. Those threatening to withhold their vote will have no other option to change to. Resulting in either the same people being re-elected on a smaller percentage of the vote or a different set of people pursuing the same policy agendas being elected in their place.
Heads you lose, tails they win.
Only a systemic collapse of the failed dead end not fit for purpose Western system will produce any meaningful change. At present there is little evidence to suggest that this will ever be achieved via internal pressure. Which means the necessary change will, by the process of logic, have to be forced from outside by the Global Majority if civilisation and the human species is to survive, never mind have a future.

“Palintir Rent Boy Vance “
Love it! Starmer and Reeves would give him (Vance) a run for his blowjo…eh, Money on that one…
Will the military comply?
In his first term lumpen Trump wanted to bomb Iran but his military advisors warned him that Iran’s missiles could take out every US & Israeli base in The Middle East.
So he made a grovelling excuse & rolled back.
This still applies.
It’s amazing how the Western media is reporting few Israeli Illegal Occupation Force casualties.
And to hear that the Zionist military industrial complex apparently has no staff.
“It’s a miracle I tell you!”
But we shouldn’t gloat, human beings are dying and free Arab states & one multi-ethnic Democratic state of Palestine from the rivers to the sea would bring peace.
Let’s hope nobody gets nicked by the genocidal zionists for sharing that footage…And I wonder how long it’ll be until keef proscribes it’s distribution here in blighty**??
