Iran’s Regime – Low on Time, Out of Leverage, Long on Desperation

As the Islamic regime in Iran grows more desperate, knowing that they are being economically choked to death, knowing their leverage via the Strait of Hormuz is gone, and facing the reality of their dwindling military capabilities, one thing remains clear…their apocalyptic death-cult is planning for a last-ditch, blaze of barbaric savagery akin to what I described at the end of my commentary a week ago as “burning their country to the ground so they can rule over the ashes.”

I’ll get back to this shortly.

While the IRGC does indeed fear military responses should they decide to strike Israel, from both Israel and the U.S., and while they know (even though they would never admit it) that such strikes would be devastating to the regime, there is something they fear even more…the Iranian people. The IRGC understands that an all-out military operation by Israel, by the U.S. or what would most likely be a combined U.S., Israeli military campaign unlike anything ever seen can, and would destroy IRGC and regime personnel, they also know only the Iranian people can truly topple the regime and remove the 7th century, 12 Shia ideology from power.

So, what will the regime’s “burning their country to the ground so they can rule over the ashes” look like…at least in part? Near the end of our RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS broadcast last Tuesday, September 29th, at the 1:21:45 mark you will hear in that discussion Diane Sori bring up “bio-weapons.” Diane said “if they were smart, they would not shoot them at Israel…” To be clear, “smart” has nothing to do with their calculation. DESPERATION has EVERYTHING to do with it, but it goes much deeper than most people think as some believe Israel is likely to be the regime’s primary target for that final desperation hail Mohammad.

The Future of the Middle East – The Bigger Picture

Please Click LIKE at the bottom of this commentary, and share it everywhere!! By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot – Commentary

Last week, it was reported that senior military leaders held a private meeting in Germany to discuss the ongoing conflict with Iran and regional security. That meeting, as it has been called, was engineered by the U.S., and hosted by Admiral Brad Cooper, included the military chiefs of staff from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Egypt.

That in and of itself is remarkable because the participants don’t always agree with one another regarding political, cultural or military points of view, but it gets even more remarkable when one considers the one participant not included in the aforementioned list – Israel.

That’s right, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir had an equal seat at that most incredible assemblage of military leaders. From what we know, Adm. Cooper reassured participants that the U.S. would maintain its military footprint in the Middle East despite recent regional escalations and attacks on American bases but that was just the opening statement. The topics under discussion included an exchange of intelligence and assessments regarding regional war developments and Iranian attacks on military installations, reviewed American strategic proposals to safeguard and expand protected commercial ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and the recent escalations involving Houthi forces in Yemen.

Hormuz and Beyond

Far too many people, even some on the right side of the political aisle have a narrow view regarding the Strait of Hormuz and are far too quick to condemn Trump for “mishandling the war.”

They claim that President Trump has made the war against Iran “all about oil” and “all about the Strait of Hormuz” proclaiming over and over again that “we don’t get any oil from Hormuz, and we should have left the Hormuz situation to those that do get their oil from it.” To suggest, or believe that the U.S. doesn’t benefit from shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, or that others should have been left to deal with it because we don’t benefit from it is myopic and in some cases, hypocritical.

It’s time to set the record straight, especially for those who have complained that the war is all about oil, and everything else has been ignored.

Weekend Edition: As ISIS Expands, Obama Shrinks

tnp eagleThe mainstream media is soft-selling one thing and propagandizing another in an attempt to distract Americans from Obama’s disastrous agenda and I, for one, am sick of it.

On the propaganda hard-sell side we have Ebola.

Right now, the mainstream media is whipping up fears of some mass outbreak of Ebola in the United States, flooding the news with tales of a “POSSIBLE” pandemic and issuing “warnings” of what MIGHT happen.

IF the virus were to MUTATE…Katie bar the door…PANIC!!!

And worse yet, there are people who are buying into it and even going so far as to urge Americans to flee big cities and run away into the country to avoid it.

BULLCRAP!!!

Ebola is not an airborne virus and the only way to contract it is via direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone already infected with it. COULD it mutate? Yes. WILL it mutate? Maybe but it would take a long, LONG time for that to happen and as the mainstream media is eager to pass along, several people have recently come INTO the United States with what could POSSIBLY be Ebola but, what they DON’T want you to know is that other than the one doctor and the one nurse now in isolation in Atlanta…NONE of the other Ebola suspects actually HAD or HAVE Ebola. NONE of them but that doesn’t feed the panic dog now, does it?

It wouldn’t provide Obama with the much needed distraction from HIS disastrous doctrine in the Middle East…would it?

As long as people are busy looking at the shiny Ebola ball over HERE…nobody will care WHAT is happening over THERE.

That’s where the SOFT-sell comes in.
