Just an observation after watching the stock market manipulation and thinking about MOTIVES.

Apparently, no problem with Genocide in Gaza or Ethnic Cleansing in Lebanon - which don't affect the markets. But the attack on Iran offers opportunities in stock market energy price manipulation.

Trump lies about ending the war (the Hormuz blockade) and the markets jump. And some people made an awful lot of money. People with inside info.

On another note, gasoline prices motivate people more than the slaughter of civilians in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. Hmmm

That is a large part of our problem. Too many Americans are focused solely on their own situation and not the pain and destruction being done in our names to people in other countries, let alone in our own country.

from ConsortiumNews interview with Chris Hedges: "...Let’s not forget that the average MAGA supporter, voter, travels 100 miles a day in very thirsty SUVs, cars, and that increase in the gas price goes straight into their family budget...” Y. Varoufakis explains.

Democracy Labs, Would you consider adding the assassination of Sen. John Tower (and the 22 other victims) of Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 2311 crash in St. Simons, GA to the Epstein map? "Eliminating" Tower and Maxwell opened the door for Epstein.

"It's never too late to tell the truth; it's an act of liberation. A country based on lies cannot succeed."

+ Sen. John Heinz, assassinated April 4, 1991

+ Sen. Tower was assassinated April 5, 1991

+ Robert Maxwell assassinated Nov.5, 1991

Once Tower and Maxwell were "eliminated", Epstein clawed-back Maxwell's funds which superfunded his corrupt empire.

+ October 1991: The Noose Tightens 
"In the weeks before his death, Robert Maxwell had become increasingly paranoid. Something hadn't felt right for a while – people were out to get him, and he didn't know whose side anyone was on anymore.
The first warning had come six months earlier when Senator John Tower died in a plane crash. Twenty-two others perished with him on Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 2311." (Tower was on Maxwell's publishing payroll)

+ "As the Iran-Contra Commission chairman, Tower knew exactly where the money went. Ari Ben-Menashe told me that Tower personally facilitated the transfer of Iran-Contra funds to Maxwell, receiving $200,000 in Swiss accounts for arranging access. Tower was Bush's guarantee that the $600 million CIA slush fund was secure with Maxwell—a trust that proved catastrophic.

Now Tower was dead, and Maxwell had lost his bridge to then-President Bush just as everything was unraveling."

+ "In the spring of 1991, just as we were verifying the bribery list, Senators Tower and Heinz were both assassinated, a few days apart. Both, in separate sabotaged plane crashes. By October, 1991, our exclusive story about the bribery list ran in a populist newspaper, "Spotlight" (later defunct after publishing continuously for 25 years). They had from us the bribery list and ran the complete story, but at the last minute, deleted the list from my story."

You hate to think that close financial friends could be behind Trump's Iran decisions.

Trump lies **always**. Iran keeps its word, for better or worse, **every single day**. That's one of the few certainties I've learned over the past decade.

Good God. Our “mentally dead” POTUS can no longer declare anything! I don’t think HE has the wits for market manipulation and DO believe others are now pulling the strings. All of them.

"denounced what it called the occupation of Palestine" What else would you call it? What kind of mealy-mouthed 'characterization' is that supposed to be? I don't appreciate, nor expect, mainstream framing being snuck into a report from DropSite News. Please explain.

No need for DropSite readers to pour over this content. It has in totality been written in heroglyphs in The Leiden Papyrus illustrating the final gasps of Egypt's decline. Erosion & pollution of the Nile sea bed goes hand in grip w/hanging presumed terrorists, & Polymarket bets w/bookies on the winner/loser of a war reminds of desperate women burning apple seeds to determine pregnancy.
