The Lamestream Media is all agog: what is Ayatollah 49% Don©'s point in starting a war with Iran? He of "Peace President" propaganda?
"Wag the Dog" is all you need to know. That was specifically about a sex scandal, and so today. But the reason specific to today is the Rich Guys' need to extract value from The Rest of Us. And, in this case, fossil fuels, Ayatollah 49% Don©'s major fixation. If the Strait of Hormuz gets really clogged, or essentially shut down... well Goldfinger didn't go to Fort Knox to steal the gold, but to leave it a radioactive dump for all time. In Ayatollah 49% Don©'s mind (such as a lower brain stem might be), the future is burning stuff. American based stuff becomes, thus, more valuable if other supplies are sequestered. Bank shot.
Essays on topics economics: monopolists, oligopolists, and oligarchs aren't better decision-makers for the society just because they's rich and they ain't the damn gummint.

We'll smash down your doors, we don't bother to knock
We've done it before, so why all the shock?
We're the biggest and the toughest kids on the block
And we're the cops of the world, boys
We're the cops of the world
-- Phil Ochs/1966 [from back when Americans gave a shit]
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]
Effective with the 2026 mid-term elections, military proctors will be stationed at every shithole Blue city polling place, demanding to see a current, valid United States of Alabama passport. No passport, no vote. I am the dictator.
-- Donald J. Trump by Executive Order, this day 7 December 2025 [let's not wait that long and Chris Murphy and this and Steve]
[I]t's election subversion, not cancellation, that is the real authoritarian move. The goal is to keep elections going but without unseating those in power.
-- Sean Morales-Doyle/2026 [Ayatollah 49% Don©: "I won with 98.6% of the vote!!]
As mass production has to be accompanied by mass consumption; mass consumption, in turn, implies a distribution of wealth -- not of existing wealth, but of wealth as it is currently produced -- to provide men with buying power equal to the amount of goods and services offered by the nation's economic machinery. Smart people vote with their feet. [you betcha]

This Week's thought
[Greer] and other advisers have ushered in steep import taxes to try to protect manufacturers from foreign competition, coax more factories into the United States and create more good-paying factory jobs. -- Ana Swanson/2026 [Greer, Ayatollah 49% Don©, et al are lying. Unions made manufacturing a good-paying job, not beneficent plutocrats]
