The Adelson family alone gave Trump over $317 million. The Israeli lobby donates to 94% of Congress. Netanyahu walked into the Situation Room and told Trump to attack. Every time a peace deal gets close, Netanyahu calls Trump and it collapses. This is 100% Israeli interest, 0% American interest.

Blocking the Strait of Hormuz costs Iran approximately $210 million a day in lost revenue. But it costs the rest of the world enormously more. China gets 48% of its energy through that strait. South Korea and India are already in crisis. The war has created an energy shock far larger in Asia and Europe than in energy-independent America.
Kevin O'Leary stated that China sources 48% of its energy through the Strait of Hormuz, giving Beijing enormous incentive to pressure Iran into a deal.
Netanyahu has been saying Iran is weeks away from a nuclear weapon since the 1990s. Iran has never enriched uranium above 60%, far short of the 90% needed for a weapon. Iran has no missile that can reach America. The grand Ayatollah issued a fatwa prohibiting nuclear weapons. The threat is a fabrication used to justify endless war.
A total of 8 states have filed lawsuits against social media platforms, including an ongoing case in Tennessee, using product liability and public nuisance theories to seek accountability.
France built 56 nuclear plants in the 1970s and now has the cheapest energy in Europe, making it independent of Russian or Middle Eastern energy geopolitics.
Estonia has a single tax form, a law preventing the government from asking citizens for the same information twice, and a flat rate of tax — enabling competitive taxation.
Portugal's Lisbon, once a city with a major heroin problem, legalised drugs and redirected enforcement spending into rehabilitation and housing, dramatically reducing crime.
The first Boland Amendment banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras passed the House unanimously — yet the Reagan administration ignored it.
Over just two years, Saudi Arabia alone donated $32 million to the Contra rebels, giving loosely affiliated factions millions they had no way to spend on arms.
The National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty raised $6.3 million for the Contras but only $3.3 million reached them — a shockingly low 52% program expense rate.
Richard Secord and Albert Hakim marked up their arms shipments to the Contras by as much as 300%, making enormous personal profits from the covert operation.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, tapped to run the entire covert Contra support operation, had no prior experience in covert operations whatsoever — he was learning as he went.
