all is good on the maddest planet of the mad mad world.....

Iran has declared it achieved a decisive outcome in the recent confrontation, stating the US has accepted a 10-point plan proposed by Tehran, according to the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, cited by Tasnim News Agency.

The Council said the enemy suffered an “undeniable, historic, and crushing defeat,” adding that Iran secured “a great victory.”

Iran has outlined a 10-point plan proposed by Tehran and accepted in principle by Washington, according to the Supreme National Security Council of Iran.

According to the Council, the US has agreed to the following Iranian conditions:

 

Commitment to non-aggression

 

Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz

 

Acceptance of Iran’s uranium enrichment

 

Lifting of all primary sanctions

 

Lifting of all secondary sanctions

 

the dangerous delusions of two malignant narcissists.....

The war on Iran reflects a convergence of unchecked power, psychological pathology and religious delusion – placing the world at extreme risk.

Here is Donald Trump’s  Easter message to the world:

Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP

council of one-ish.....

 

US President Donald Trump’s war with Iran has been driven by a “council of one” style of decision-making and could have serious repercussions for the United States, his former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has warned. 

The US-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic, now in its sixth week, has already inflicted widespread destruction across the region, with mass displacement and mounting economic strain. Civilian casualties continue to rise both in Iran and across the region as strikes intensify. Trump has claimed Washington is “in deep negotiations” with Tehran, while warning he will “blow up everything”if no deal is reached. Iran has denied any talks and dismissed claims it is seeking a ceasefire. 

ignoring genocide. the bill for australia’s silence has arrived....

There is a bitter truth that must be spoken before we can talk honestly about what is happening to us now. Andrew Brown on Australia’s quiet complicity in the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran, fourth in a series.

When the bombs fell on Gaza, Australia was quiet.

When the hospitals were destroyed, when the aid was blocked, when children were pulled from rubble in pieces, when the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and humanitarian organisations with decades of credibility in conflict zones used words like genocide, ethnic cleansing and collective punishment, Australia was quiet.

Not uniformly. Not entirely. There were protests in every major city, sustained over months, of a size and seriousness this country has not seen since the Iraq War.

uncivilisationing civilisation....

The US has struck more than 50 military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island, including bunkers, radar systems, and ammunition depots, according to Iranian and Western media reports.

Explosions were reported at the island’s oil terminal – a critical hub for Iran’s exports – with no immediate confirmation of casualties or damage. The strikes come hours before a deadline set by US President Donald Trump over the Strait of Hormuz, marking a sharp escalation in the conflict.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned of broader retaliation, saying any crossing of Tehran’s “red lines”would trigger a response “beyond the region,” adding that it would target infrastructure “to deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas in the region for years.”

 

you cannot escape the orange man, even hiding behind the moon....

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday (April 6, 2026) called and congratulated the Artemis astronauts circling the Moon for making “history,” telling them they’ve “made all America really proud, incredibly proud.”

“You really are modern-day pioneers — all of you,” Mr. Trump said, before launching into a friendly interview of sorts with the three Americans and one Canadian who are on a historic 10-day mission around Earth’s natural satellite.

 

“You’ve got a lot of courage doing what you’re doing,” Mr. Trump said, lavishing praise on NASA’s first lunar flyby in more than 50 years.

THERE ARE A FEW VERSION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATION OF A WEAPONS OPERATOR COLONEL, THE PLANE ON WHICH HE WAS OPERATING GOT SHOT DOWN BY SOMETHING LIKE A SUBSONIC SAUSAGE, AND HE HAD JUST TIME ENOUGH TO EJECT BEFORE THE PLANE CRASHED...

— A FEW QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ASKED.

WHY WAS THIS PLANE FLYING SO LOW AS TO BE HIT BY WHAT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS AN RPG — OR AN ANTI-TANK ROCKET? UNLESS IT WAS HIT BY GOD?

POSSIBLE ANSWER: THEY WERE ON A TOURIST/EXCURSION SURVEYING THE PLACE FOR A CAMPING SPOT...

REAL ANSWER: THEY WERE SURVEYING THE PLACE FOR A CAMPING SPOT... TO LAUNCH A FULL-BLOWN MISSION TO ATTACK A HEAVILY DEFENDED IRANIAN COMPOUND AND GRAB SOME URANIUM WITHIN....

THE MISSION WAS BOTCHED UP BY THE PLANE BEING SHOT DOWN AND THE WHOLE OPERATION WAS REPURPOSED AS: 

purge of US army leadership by the most religious nut in history of the USA....

As President Donald Trump’s war in Iran goes further off the rails, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth carried out a “purge” of US Army leadership on Thursday, ousting its most senior general and two other top officers and reportedly leaving many senior officials stunned.

 

Singularly Unqualified’ Hegseth Executes Purge of Top Military Brass as Iran War Spirals Out of Control

Sen. Chris Murphy, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the ousted generals were likely “telling Hegseth his Iran war plans are unworkable, disastrous, and deadly.”

I cannot commit war crimes against humanity because I'm not human....

Donald Trump risks turning America into a "rogue state," a former U.S. ambassador for war crimes issues warned Wednesday after the president threatened to bomb power stations and desalination plants in Iran.

what would china do?.....

 

The defence hawks never miss a chance. Netanyahu and Trump are running amok in the Middle East. Yet “Look over there! China!” Michael Pascoe reports.

The three-year deadline set by the embarrassing SMAge Red Alert series for China to attack Australia went by without a PLA missile in sight last month. Never mind, Trump’s war is burning through America’s weapons stockpile and assets have been moved to the Middle East, weakening defences in the Pacific, so China could seize the opportunity to at least attack Taiwan any day now. 

It’s Xi’s golden opportunity. 

a turning point for the transatlantic alliance....

 

The war between the United States and Iran has become not only a military crisis in the Middle East but also a turning point for the transatlantic alliance, exposing deep divisions between Washington and its European allies.

from one catholic to another.....

Professional liar Karoline Leavitt, a Catholic herself, thinks that she has a better grasp of the religion's teachings and greater authority on the political stances of the church than Pope Leo XIV, the head of the Catholic church, regarding the ongoing war in Iran.

australia to send the expert on mobile toilets: kenny — or the flowing shit news expert: chris kenny.....

Houston: Now more than halfway to the moon, the Artemis II astronauts are prepared for their historic lunar fly-around to push deeper into space than even the Apollo astronauts.

On the downside, their toilet is on the blink again.

The three Americans and one Canadian are set to reach their destination on Monday, photographing the mysterious lunar far side as they zoom around. It is the first moon-bound crew in more than 53 years, picking up where NASA’s Apollo program left off.

wrong rose....

Oh GOD, you birthed me on the wrong planet

Full of thieves, murderers and dudes with nasty epithet

In bible days you’d ask me to kill them all

For your grand battle of good versus evil

Turning me into another angelic devil

 

And dangerous creator of horror

You placed thorns on roses

For us to bleed in your honour

Touching the beauty of the flower

Smelling it with our weird noses

 

But bleeding from roses is vain

Many people die from your nasty bombs

They are yours please explain

Do you boast about digging tombs

like craters peppering the plain

 

Is this your forever omnipotent plan

Enjoying vicarious battles of sufferance

Years of wars between Germany and France

Now a silly excursion into Teheran Iran

Soon to become a grandiose devilish trance
