The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Since the pro-democracy Green Movement in 2009, the regime has understood that more nationwide protests are always on the horizon.

The Israelis were bragging, in January, that Mossad agents were in country, agitating the demonstrations. But the project to take down Iran has been going much longer than that.

Here, again, is the interview with General Clark, from 2007, talking about the project, by the US, Saudi, and others, to destabilize Iran, going back years. For those scoring at home, the seven countries the US was determined to wreck, since 2001, are Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and, last, Iran.

General W. Clark: "This is a memo of how we're going to take out seven countries in five years."

God and Savior Trump probably figures everyone is as corrupt as he is. He bought off the President of Panama, who has expelled Hutchison, a Chinese company, from the Ports near the Panama Canal. He bought off the #2 in Venezuela, so she will bend over for the US. He probably figured, if he killed off the top people in Iran, he could find someone he could buy.

Speaking of the Venezuelan project, the Proles don't seem happy.

Venezuela police tear gas protesters calling for pay and pension rises

Police in Caracas on Thursday launched tear gas at thousands of protesters marching towards the presidential palace to demand pay raises and pension increases. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez announced wage increases on May 1 without disclosing the amount, as many Venezuelans live on salaries so low they struggle to survive.

Meanwhile, NBC News, last night, showed a clip from an interview with the President of Cuba. The reporter asked him if he would resign. He bristled. She said that is what Trump the Conqueror is demanding. He bristled more, and said he was not elected by the United States. Seems the attitude that the entire world must jump, at the demand of Trump the Conqueror, isn't going over very well in some corners.
