Iran Will No Longer Exist! (Again)

Well, it appears the war’s back on, again. Israel continues to blow things (and people) up in Lebanon and now Iran and the U.S. are blowing things and people up again, too. The “deal” lasted about a week, it seems.

Trump said – via another one of his social media posts, a la Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho – that “the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!” Again. He has promulgated such existential threats on a number of prior occasions. Should we believe him – should the Iranians – on this occasion? Maybe.

Here’s a theory as to why:

Trump is not the president except in a factotum sense. He is something like Marshall Petain was after France surrendered to the German Reich; i.e., a personality installed by an occupying power as a sop to the occupied population. Vidkun Quisling is perhaps more apt as his name is associated with the fact. America is also an occupied country – just more subtly, although the subtle part is much less so now than it was. One regularly sees the flag of the power that occupies this country outside the offices of American iterations of Marshall Petain and Vidkun Quisling and behind the podium when they speak. The interesting difference is no armies have occupied this country. The occupation took place stealthily, over time – and was done via financial rather than military means. That made it hard to notice – until it became impossible not to notice it.

Trump is where he is because the occupying power wanted him there. The occupying power spent a lot of money to assure he’d be there – again. It is probable he was chosen – so to speak – for three main reasons. The first being his ruthless nihilism and greed for fame and money. His willingness to say – and do – whatever he is required to say and do, provided the price is right. A second reason is that he was useful as a kind of diversionary tool, to co-opt the growing popular disgust with the occupation (this was back in 2016). Amazingly, this New York City real estate grifter and reality TV show star became the installed leader of the then-nascent populist movement – what became “MAGA” – with the object of discrediting and demoralizing it. This task he has performed brilliantly. MAGA is splintered, disoriented and delegitimized in the eyes of many who were previously favorably inclined toward it.

Someone like Charlie Kirk would never have been put in place to perform the role Trump has performed. And that is why Charlie Kirk is gone, of course. He had begun to notice things and to say them, too. Also, Charlie seems to have been a decent man. At least, there have not been any publicly disclosed reasons to suspect he may not have been. His name has not been associated with the Epstein Stuff. Which brings us to reason number three.

It is an interesting congruence that the leader of the occupying power began to show up serially in the occupied country just prior to the war that was presented as having been Trump’s war and in congruence with the at-the-time percolating upward public interest in the Epstein Stuff and Trump’s association with Epstein (including that infamous birthday card with the doodle reported on by the Wall Street Journal and other major media).

Lots of smoke. Maybe fire? Maybe kompromat?

It need not involve Trump himself. If it involves the occupying power then it is exactly the sort of thing that might prompt the leader of the occupying power to pay serial visits to his Marshall Petain/Vidkun Quisling, to give him his marching orders. Trump has confessed as much, openly. The occupying power was going to attack, so Trump decided (sic) to attack first – to stave off American losses. It is exactly the sort of thing Marshall Petain or Vidkun Quisling might have said.

It is plain the occupying power is unwilling to accept defeat (the fact that Iran won, that is). It is not going to let the “deal” stand. Trump is not in a position to do much about it because he must do what he’s told. But – no doubt – he is very angry (say it using your best Hans Landa voice) about being made to look like a “loser,” the worst possible thing for Trump. Will Trump actually go all the way and  fulfill his latest promise that Iran “will no longer exist” in order to look like a winner?

It’s probably more likely than anyone neck-deep in the Epstein Stuff ever being brought to justice.

In particular, the occupying power.
