Estimates suggest Israel's construction project in Gaza...

Editor's note: ...could cost between about $50 billion and $75 billion when military operations, mobilization, and related expenses are included. With Gaza's population at roughly 2.2 million people, that works out to about $23,000 to $34,000 for every man, woman, and child living in Gaza. Put bluntly, the staggering amount of money being spent on bombs, missiles, and military operations could theoretically give every Palestinian tens of thousands of dollars to start a new life somewhere else. It is a tongue-in-cheek cynical calculation, but it highlights the extraordinary economics of Israel's construction project in Gaza. In construction terms though, bombing is a whole lot less expensive for the condominiums, hotels, office buildings, restaurants and cafes planned for Gaza.

The Cost and Firepower of Israel's Construction Project In Gaza

March 11, 2026 | By AD News Network

Since the fighting began on October 7, 2023 in Gaza, Israel has carried out one of the most intensive bombing campaigns in modern warfare against targets in the Gaza Strip. Israeli aircraft have conducted tens of thousands of airstrikes across a 365 square kilometer (141 square miles) area using a wide range of aerial munitions. Military analysts estimate that the campaign has involved the release of tens of thousands of tons of explosives. Early estimates placed the amount of explosives dropped at about 25,000 tons during the first weeks of the war, but later assessments suggested the total may have exceeded 70,000 tons as the campaign expanded. The strikes have relied heavily on conventional aerial bombs weighing 500 pounds, 1,000 pounds, and 2,000 pounds, many of them fitted with precision guidance kits and delivered by Israeli fighter aircraft such as F-15 and F-16 jets.

US Navy: Drop a bomb on Mojtaba Khamenei's head

Editor's note: The pirate City of London obviously takes care of their own. A year-long investigation by Bloomberg found that Mojtaba Khamenei quietly built an overseas real-estate network worth more than $100 million, including numerous luxury properties in London. The portfolio reportedly includes mansions on the elite street The Bishops Avenue as well as other high-end assets across Europe and the Middle East. According to Bloomberg, the properties are not held directly in Khamenei's name but through shell companies and associates such as Iranian businessman Ali Ansari. The shell companies are registered in the Aisle of Mann and St. Kitts, both nodes of the City of London's offshore banking network. Funds for the purchases were allegedly routed through banks in the UK, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the UAE and are believed to originate largely from Iranian oil revenues, despite sanctions imposed on Khamenei in 2019. Where did this British asset get his wealth from? Oil

The Abrahamic religions are about to clash and...

Editor's note: ...if anyone thinks King Chuck here has a fondness or brotherly affiliation with Islam you have been duped. Chuck did this sword dance in Saudi Arabia some years back to give legitimacy to Islam. Call him "Charles of Arabia" (the British known for "protecting very violent Caliphates"). There is not an Islamification because the imperial powers represented by Chuck love Islam. Islam is a mere tool to destroy real national interests. We saw Charles of Arabia do his sword dance with Islam, while the psychotic ranting lunatic Christian Zionist Lindsey Graham is threatening Saudi Arabia. A senior Iranian cleric, Abdollah Javadi‑Amoli, has reportedly issued a fatwa calling for jihad and the shedding of the blood of President Donald Trump, escalating the confrontation between Iran, the US, and Israel into explicit religious terms. In Shiite Islam, a fatwa from a powerful ayatollah is not mere political rhetoric but a religious ruling that can legitimize violence and inspire followers to act. By framing retaliation as jihad, the declaration risks mobilizing militants and proxy groups all across the region, raising the danger of terrorism and wider conflict far beyond Iran's borders. If the US puts US soldiers in Iran you can be absolutely assured it is intended to provoke a Jihad.

No, President Trump, it wasn't the Iranians who...

Editor's note: ...because of incompetence dropped a missile on the Minab compound in southern Iran also hitting the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school allegedly killing over 160 children (numbers vary). The pedo empire takes out 160 children. What's the alternative here? The IRGC launched a missile into the school to blame the US? Tomahawk cruise missiles (The Guardian so use discernment) are highly resistant to traditional "hacking" in the sense of remote takeover or mid-flight redirection by an adversary, but they are not immune to certain forms of electronic interference, supply-chain sabotage, or cyber-related disruptions during development, manufacturing, or pre-launch phases. Video, debris, and munitions analysis suggest the weapon was a BGM/UGM-109 Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile. Investigations into the strike near the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab indicate the weapon was most likely a U.S. Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile launched from a U.S. Navy destroyer operating in the Arabian Sea during the opening phase of the operation against Iran on February 28, 2026. Several Tomahawk-capable ships were in range, including the Arleigh Burke–class destroyers USS Delbert D. Black (DDG‑119), USS Spruance (DDG‑111), and USS Michael Murphy (DDG‑112), but the U.S. military has not publicly identified the exact vessel that fired the missile.

The criminals in Kiev claim...

Editor's note: ...the convoy belonged to a state bank and was part of a routine financial transfer. But the movement of such enormous sums in physical cash and gold raises obvious questions. At a time when Ukraine is receiving tens of billions of dollars in Western aid, incidents like this reinforce long-standing known corruption and the lack of transparency surrounding wartime finances. Hungary insists the seizure is part of a legitimate criminal investigation. Whatever the final explanation, the cash convoy demonstrates again a troubling reality: massive financial flows ("Ukrainian laundromat") tied to Ukraine's war effort are moving through opaque channels that demand far greater scrutiny.

Japan's government often resembles...

Editor's note: ...a large, aging ship with too many captains on the bridge, everyone is issuing orders, but the vessel turns so slowly that it cannot avoid the storms ahead. Layers of cumbersome bureaucracy, ministerial rivalries, and risk-averse decision-making mean that even when problems are clearly visible, meaningful change takes years. By the time the ship finally adjusts course, the economic and demographic waves facing Japan have already grown larger. The data does not show Japan as an incompetent state. In fact, by global standards its government works quite well. When governments "work quite well" who exactly does it work for? The bureaucracy or for Japan's population? Many analysts argue the bureaucratic system is slow to adapt, and without modernization Japan could struggle economically in the coming decades.

Japan's Broken System: Why Many Citizens Say the Government Is Failing

March 9, 2026 | By AD News Network

From everyday conversations across Japan, many ordinary people feel their government is simply out of touch and badly managed. Policies often seem slow, confusing, and disconnected from the realities people face in daily life. Decades of economic stagnation, commonly referred to as the "Lost Decades of Japan", have left many Japanese with the sense that political leaders and bureaucrats argue, reshuffle policies, and protect their institutions while real problems like rising costs, stagnant wages, and demographic decline, go largely unresolved. In plain terms, many people feel the system is too rigid, too bureaucratic, and too slow to fix itself, creating a widespread impression that the government is chaotic and unable to respond decisively to the country's challenges.

John G. Trump, uncle of President Donald Trump and...

Editor's note: ...an MIT electrical engineer, was asked by the U.S. government in 1943 to examine Nikola Tesla's papers after Tesla's death on January 7, 1943. The Office of Alien Property Custodian had seized the materials over concerns about potential military inventions and "zero point energy." After a brief review, John G. Trump reported that Tesla's later ideas were "speculative and contained no workable principles of military value, clearing them for release." Released when the critical research was either destroyed or removed. There is no evidence John Trump ever worked in Tesla's lab or collaborated with him while Tesla was alive; the connection is reported as being "limited to this one-time government review." It appears we have reached an inflection point in our "civilization" (all based on energy):

The acquisition of CBS News...

Editor's Note: ...by the son of Oracle Corporation founder Larry Ellison (this is interesting: Larry Ellison & the Elders of Zion) reflects a dangerous concentration of power, where tech billionaires extend their reach from data and infrastructure into the news Americans rely on.  The option then is don't rely on CBS for your news. When a handful of oligarchs control both the platforms and the press, genuine journalistic independence becomes increasingly difficult to sustain. As if it ever existed in the first place? The answer to this is of course do not contract with CBS for your "news" (likely to start using AI-generated news). Also, Oracle is not typically the public face of digital ID programs, but it is often the backend infrastructure provider supplying the cloud computing, databases, and identity-management software that many digital identity systems run on. Enterprise software and cloud infrastructure from Oracle Corporation is widely used across Israeli government agencies and defense-related industries that support the Israel Defense Forces, providing databases, identity management, and backend IT systems that help run logistics, administration, and secure data operations. Furthermore, Palantir Technologies which has partnered with Israel's defense ministry also runs its AI and data-analysis platforms on cloud infrastructure from Oracle Corporation as part of a joint cloud and AI partnership for government and defense clients.

We are being blackmailed by crazy people...

Editor's note: The pirate City of London and Lloyd's are driving a false narrative through the media about an oil shock that will be worse than we have ever seen. Don't buy into this erroneous narrative. The British are manipulating the news media as usual to destroy President Trump in the mid-terms. It is astonishing that more analysts are not onto the City of London's machinations against the US especially as to what is going on in Iran and shipping through the Straight of Hormuz. The Iranians cannot stop shipping through the straight. This is about Lloyd's of London's insurance and reinsurance (insurance is the DNA of capitalism) of shipping. What does this mean? It looks as though Trump & Co. are destroying the City of London's oil empire and that includes in Iran.

Are You Prepared For The Worst Global Oil Crisis In More Than 50 Years?

March 5, 2026 | by Michael

If you have not already done so, I would recommend filling up your vehicle, because it looks like the price of gasoline is going to go much higher. At the very beginning of this war with Iran, the price of oil didn’t rise too much because many investors were anticipating a quick victory over Iran. But now it has become exceedingly clear that there will be no quick victory, and the price of oil is spiking dramatically. Unless something really crazy happens, this is going to be an extended conflict, and that means that the flow of oil out of the Middle East will not return to normal for quite some time.

Sending the U.S. Army into Iran would be a catastrophic...

Editor's note: ...strategic mistake that risks repeating the worst failures of the last two decades. Iran is not Iraq. Iran is a nation of nearly 90 million people with difficult terrain, a hardened military, and a vast network of regional proxies capable of igniting a multi-front war across the Middle East. Even U.S. intelligence assessments reportedly warn that military force alone is unlikely to topple Iran's leadership (Iran's secret police the SAVAK were set up by British MI6 and likely CIA assistance), meaning American soldiers could be drawn into another open-ended conflict with no clear path to victory. This as Palantir declares war on Iran (the privatization of war). Meanwhile, the conflict is already producing casualties and retaliation against U.S. bases, underscoring how quickly escalation can spiral. Deploying ground troops would risk thousands of American lives, destabilize the entire region, and trap the US in yet another costly war with uncertain objectives and no credible exit strategy.

Boots on the ground? Abrupt cancellation of major training exercise sparks speculation of US sending troops into Iran

As the US-Iran conflict escalates, Trump may consider deploying ground troops, a shift from his previous stance. The cancellation of a major training exercise raises concerns, while discussions focus on a small troop deployment for strategic objectives amid ongoing airstrikes and regional tensions.

By Bobins Vayalil Abraham | March 7, 2026

As the US-Iran conflict enters its second week, there are growing speculations that the Donald Trump administration could soon send ground troops into the Middle East. The US Department of Defence has abruptly canceled a major training exercise of the elite 82nd Airborne Division's headquarters element at Fort Liberty, The Washington Post reported.

California is a disaster...

Editor's note: ...and it just became worse for Governor White Teeth. Under the leadership of Governor White Teeth has developed some of the highest gasoline prices in the US due to a combination of heavy fuel taxes, strict environmental regulations, and declining refinery capacity. The state imposes the nation's highest gasoline tax while also requiring a special fuel blend regulated by the California Air Resources Board (an unresourceful board) that is more expensive to produce and limits supply from other states. At the same time, refinery closures and policies discouraging domestic oil production have tightened fuel supply, leaving California more dependent on imported crude. These policies, while intended to advance aggressive climate goals (fraud) and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels (abiotic oil), have significantly increased energy costs for residents and businesses and contributed to the state's broader cost-of-living crisis.

The reality is far more complex than most people understand...

Editor's note: ...even though almost everyone has heard of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). The MB was founded in 1928 in Egypt by Hassan al-Banna. It began as a religious and social reform movement aimed at promoting Islamic values in society and eventually influencing political systems. These are the best types of organizations to create, manipulate and control - by British intelligence. Inside the Brotherhood there was a covert organization called al-Jihaz al-Sirri ("the Secret Apparatus") or al-Tanzim al-Khass ("the Special Organization"). It was formed in the 1940s under the leadership of the movement's founder, Hassan al-Banna. The IRGC stands for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It is one of the most powerful institutions in Iran and functions as an ideological military force created to protect the Islamic regime, not just the country. Supposition: Can intelligence researchers connect the Muslim Brotherhood to Iran's IRGC? The connections would be through shared affiliates and proxies including British intelligence links. When reports about Iran's IRGC are read the British need to be placed into the context of any analysis.

Editor's note: ...with Pete going full salesman mode (it's "primitive barbarism"). He sounds more like one of those sales reps doing an info commercial selling the latest product with exaggerated claims about making you healthier when behind the scenes there are structural failures, like those three F15s, two piloted by female pilots, that were allegedly downed over the skies of Kuwait in a friendly fire incident. Pete makes killing people and blowing up infrastructure sound like a fucking video game. If the Iranians want this then for chrissakes, take out the cartels, but stop killing all these Iranian people. Geez, Pete, tone it down would you?

The disruption of oil shipping through...

Editor's note: ...the Strait of Hormuz may reflect more than a conventional military confrontation with Iran. Because most global tanker traffic depends on maritime insurance provided through the London market, especially institutions linked to Lloyd's of London and the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Clubs, the withdrawal of war-risk coverage can effectively halt shipping even without a physical blockade. In this interpretation, the crisis exposes a deeper financial dimension of geopolitics: if insurance markets shut down transit, energy flows stop regardless of naval activity, raising speculation among some commentators about whether a broader commercial or financial power struggle between London's insurance system and Washington's strategic interests could be unfolding behind the conflict. This is why the Trump administration offered naval escorts through the Strait of Hormuz, to reassure insurers tied to markets like Lloyd's of London that tankers could safely sail and keep global oil shipments moving. So, who is America's biggest enemy? Is it Iran? No, it is likely the UK is America's biggest enemy and Trump & Co. know this. Hopefully, the US military fully comprehends this.
