Operation Ajax (1953)
- Target: Mohammad Mosaddegh, the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran.
- Reason: Mosaddegh had nationalized the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Fearing economic instability and potential Soviet influence, the UK and the US orchestrated his removal.
- Outcome: The CIA and British intelligence (MI6) organized protests and military support to overthrow Mosaddegh. They restored the authoritarian Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to absolute power, which ultimately fueled deep anti-American sentiment in Iran and the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Operation PBSuccess (1954)
- Target: Jacobo Árbenz, the democratically elected President of Guatemala.
- Reason: Árbenz enacted land reforms that redistributed unused land from the massive US-based United Fruit Company to impoverished peasants. His administration’s inclusion of local communists led Washington to fear a “Soviet beachhead” in Latin America.
- Outcome: The CIA supplied and directed a small mercenary force led by Carlos Castillo Armas. Árbenz was forced to resign, and Guatemala subsequently endured decades of civil war and right-wing dictatorships.

In April of 2018, the U.S., U.K., and France launched more than 100 missiles at the former Assad regime in Syria over allegations that it had committed a chemical attack against civilians, in the town of Douma.
The bombing took place before inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) conducted an investigation into what really happened in Syria.
The evidence for a chemical attack at the time was based on video and images put out by CIA-backed rebel groups who controlled Douma at the time.
Videos and photos released showed over 40 civilians dead and foaming at the mouth in an apartment building, and cylinders on the roof of an apartment and on a bed in an apartment, alleged to be cylinders containing a chemical weapon which killed the civilians.
In March of 2019, the OPCW released a report which largely lined up with the narrative of a chemical attack in Douma.
While the report said there was no evidence of sarin gas or other nerve agents used in Douma, writing that the “team did not observe any major key precursors for the synthesis of chemical weapons agents, particularly for nerve agents such as sarin, or vesicants such as sulphur or nitrogen mustard” the report asserted that there was evidence for a chlorine gas attack in Douma, writing, “Regarding the alleged use of toxic chemicals as a weapon on 7 April 2018 in Douma, the Syrian Arab Republic, the evaluation and analysis of all the information gathered by the FFM—witnesses’ testimonies, environmental and biomedical samples analysis results, toxicological and ballistic analyses from experts, additional digital information from witnesses—provide reasonable grounds that the use of a toxic chemical as a weapon took place. This toxic chemical contained reactive chlorine. The toxic chemical was likely molecular chlorine.”
Soon after, however, critical evidence suppressed from the investigation began being released to Wikileaks.
The suppressed evidence not only showed that experts “ruled out” the idea of Chlorine gas being used in Douma, but strongly suggested that the massacre in Douma was a false flag event carried out to trigger Western intervention.
Among the suppressed evidence were the minutes of a meeting with toxicologists who “ruled out” the possibility that Chlorine was used in Douma.
The minutes from the meeting read, “With respect to the consistency of the observed and reported symptoms of the alleged victims with possible exposure to chlorine gas or similar, the experts were conclusive in their statements that there was no correlation between symptoms and chlorine exposure. In particular, they stated that the onset of excessive frothing, as a result of pulmonary edema, observed in photos and reported by witnesses would not occur in the short time period between the reported occurrence of the alleged incident and the time the videos were recorded (approximately 3-4 hours).”
A Jew killing future generations softly:
How EPA Cuts Will Affect US Lives For Generations To Come
We used to think of the US Environmental Protection Agency as the site where groundbreaking scientific research took place. One of the most important areas of inquiry by its scientific staff was released to the public in 2009, when the US EPA found that greenhouse gas emissions threatened public health and welfare.
No more. In 2025 the EPA rescinded this finding.
Rarely do federal websites any longer outline the cause-and-effect factors between human activities and climate change. It is no matter that, according to NASA, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97% – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. The EPA has turned its proverbial back on stark evidence that emissions from burning coal, oil, and gas have fueled global warming. Today the EPA fails to calculate how setting maximum emissions levels correlates with saving human lives.
EPA cuts to funding and staffing are a big part of the problem — more than 1,500 biologists, chemists, and other experts at the EPA’s Office of Research and Development have been laid off, reassigned, or pressured to retire.
Today, only 124 EPA researchers remain.

The lies of the chemical felons:
The toxic chemical leaking from a large storage tank in Garden Grove is methyl methacrylate, or MMA – a highly hazardous substance that can pose significant health and safety risks depending on exposure, officials said.
Methyl methacrylate is used to produce shatter-resistant acrylic glass, paints, adhesives, resins and plastics. Authorities describe it as both highly toxic and highly flammable, with the potential to become explosive under certain conditions.
Orange County fire officials said the incident involves a large volume of the chemical, with estimates of up to 7,000 gallons spilling from the tank. The Orange County Fire Authority noted that incidents involving this type of chemical are rare, with limited case studies available to guide response efforts.

“It’s a respiratory irritant, so it can start off very mild, but it can progress to a point where, yes, you would probably require hospitalization, if not more,” said Division Chief Nick Freeman of the Orange County Fire Authority.
More Queer Mercenaries: Veteran who lost both of his legs in combat reenlists in the Marine Corps… A veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who lost both of his legs in combat reenlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps this week.
Staff Sgt. Johnny “Joey” Jones, a former Fox News contributor, reenlisted in the Corps on Wednesday in a ceremony held by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon Hall of Heroes, according to the Department of Defense.
“A lot of work went into saying, ‘Hey, this is the kind of American we want back in uniform,’” Hegseth said in the ceremony. “Not just because of what he did and what he’s done in uniform but because of how he represents the fighting men and women of our country.”
Jones enlisted in 2005 as a radio technician before deploying to Iraq in 2007 as a machine gunner, per a Pentagon release. He then requested to change his MOS to Explosive Ordnance Disposal and later deployed to Afghanistan in 2010, according to the Sentinels of Freedom, a veterans scholarship and support program that Jones joined in 2012.
During his time in Afghanistan, Jones disabled over 85 improvised explosive devices. In August 2010, however, Jones stepped on an IED, resulting in the loss of both legs above the knee.

When RaDonda Vaught got her first speaking request, it had been a year since that day in a Nashville courtroom, when she listened as a jury read her guilty verdict for negligent homicide and neglect of an impaired adult.
This story was produced in partnership with KFF Health News.
That was in 2022. Vaught was sentenced to three years of probation for administering the wrong medication and accidentally killing a patient at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2017.
She also lost her nursing license. So Vaught became a full-time farmer. She and her husband live on a small sheep farm in Bethpage, Tennessee, tucked in the rolling hills north of Nashville. They sell eggs at farmers markets on Saturdays and supply meat to local butchers and restaurants.
RaDonda Vaught tends to lambs on her farm north of Nashville, Tennessee. She started getting offers to speak to medical audiences after being on probation for about a year.
The controversial trial had been national news, and now the healthcare industry wanted to hear from her.
Onstage, Vaught confronts the painful and embarrassing details directly, often choking back tears when talking about the patient who died — Charlene Murphey.
It wasn’t just one mistake that led to the death.
A doctor had ordered a sedative called Versed to settle Murphey’s claustrophobia before an imaging procedure. Vaught typed “VE” into the search function to retrieve Versed from the electronic medicine cabinet. When it did not dispense, she overrode the system.
In Vaught’s trial, fellow nurses testified that during a time when the hospital was upgrading some of its technology, they could use overrides to bypass delays.
RaDonda Vaught and her attorney, Peter Strianse, talk with reporters after a court hearing on Feb. 20, 2019, in Nashville, Tenn.
When Vaught took that step, one of the drug options available was vecuronium, a powerful paralytic. Vaught overlooked multiple warnings about the danger of vecuronium, including on the bottle’s cap, which said “Warning: Paralyzing Agent,” according to court records.
Vaught administered the vecuronium and also left the patient alone.
While not disputing most of the facts, Vaught pleaded not guilty to all charges, claiming there were other factors, such as a new electronic health record system that was causing widespread problems in the hospital. A lead investigator for the prosecution testified in the criminal case that Vanderbilt also shared some responsibility.
As previously reported by KFF Health News, Vanderbilt did not initially report the error to regulators as required and told the medical examiner that the patient died of natural causes. The medical center fired Vaught and negotiated a settlement with the Murpheys that keeps the family from talking publicly about her death.
Once the case became a criminal matter, though, the details entered the public record. Vaught is not bound by the hospital’s settlement, allowing her to share whatever she feels comfortable sharing with whomever she wants.

For the ultrawealthy, it used to largely be the case that they wanted their flashy home purchases and sales to be made very public: Think drone shots, a glossy listing, and a splashy press release naming the owner and buyer.
Now this is a STORY:
A Chinese woman who has planted trees in the deserts of Inner Mongolia for decades has contacted an American man who donated US$5,000 to her and invited him to visit a forest that came into being because of his funding.
Yin Yuzhen, 60, was awarded as a National Model Worker by China’s State Council in 2000 for her long-term anti-desertification efforts.
Hailing from a poor family in northwestern Shaanxi province, Yin married a man who lives in Maowusu Desert in Inner Mongolia in the 1980s.
The desert, which is also known as Ordos Desert, is one of four major sandy lands in the country.
Since then Yin and her husband engaged in planting trees there by overcoming challenges brought by drought and high winds.
After Yin’s persistent efforts were reported by state media CCTV in 1999, Ronald Sakolsky, who taught English at Luoyang No 2 Foreign Language School in central Henan province at the time, was moved by her and donated US$5,000 to Yin.
“I have never seen such a big amount of money before. It made me surprised,” Yin told the news portal The Paper.
“I used the money to buy more saplings and planted more trees. When Mr Sakolsky visited me, he saw me planting trees in the desert. Seeing the land filled with yellow sands, he shook his head, saying ‘impossible, impossible’,” she recalled.
Those saplings have turned into more than 50,000 big trees, said Yin.
In early May, Yin asked the Henan school to find Sakolsky. On May 17, Bai Fan, vice-principal of the school, called Sakolsky, telling him that the saplings had grown into big trees.
“Yin Yuzhen and her family invite you and me to see the forest. They miss you a lot. They are looking forward to seeing you in the desert in Inner Mongolia,” said Bai on the phone.
Sakolsky replied: “That would be awesome. I cannot wait.”
The current personal details of Sakolsky were not released in the report.
“Mr Sakolsky, we would like to invite you to come back to China to witness how the US$5,000 you donated many years ago has become a large forest,” said Yin.
It is not clear when Sakolsky’s trip to China will be made.
The story has attracted widespread attention in China.
- “This is really moving. I am touched by both parties’ kindness, trust and perseverance,” said one internet user.
- Another person said: “It is a great example of folk friendship between China and America. I expect to see the follow-up of their story.”
By the end of 2024, 53 per cent of China’s manageable desertified land has been effectively treated, resulting in a net reduction of 65 million mu (about 4.3 million hectares) of desertified land area, according to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
China is the first country in the world to achieve both the zero increase of land deterioration and the shrunken area of desertified lands, said the authority.

Iranian Officials Say Proposed Peace Deal Would End Fighting and Open Strait
Iran has not formally responded to President Trump’s announcement that a peace deal was close. But officials suggested the oil choke point in the Strait of Hormuz could reopen.

More on the Fighting in the Middle East
- Burials in Lebanon: In the relative calm of the early days of a cease-fire, there were heart-rending scenes as people exhumed their loved ones from temporary graves and reburied them.
- Hard-Line Military Fraternity: Decision making in Iran is guided by a small group of men associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
- How Iran Gained Leverage: Outmatched militarily, Iran used “triangular coercion” by attacking Gulf states and closing the Strait of Hormuz. It points to a long-term U.S. vulnerability.
- Early War Plan: An Israeli strike designed to free Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former Iranian president, from house arrest in Tehran was part of an effort to bring about regime change and put him in power. But the audacious plan quickly went awry, according to the U.S. officials who were briefed on it.
- Opportunity for Syria: With multiple Mediterranean ports and borders with Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, the country offers a desperately needed alternative to the blocked Strait of Hormuz.
- Secret Israeli Outposts: Israel spent over a year preparing a covert site in Iraq for its operations against Iran, regional officials said. Iraqi officials later confirmed the existence of a second base.
A good move decades later, for sure, fucking Jews:
During his time as Secretary of State, accusations were made by political opponents—most notably Donald Trump—that Kerry “sold out” allies, such as Israel, through his negotiations of the Iran nuclear deal and alleged disclosures of classified military operations.
As fucking long as one of my many radio shows:
July 29, 2004
I’m John Kerry and I’m reporting for duty.
We are here tonight because we love our country.
We are proud of what America is and what it can become.
My fellow Americans: we are here tonight united in one simple purpose: to make America stronger at home and respected in the world.
A great American novelist wrote that you can’t go home again. He could not have imagined this evening. Tonight, I am home. Home where my public life began and those who made it possible live. Home where our nation’s history was written in blood, idealism, and hope. Home where my parents showed me the values of family, faith, and country.
Thank you, all of you, for a welcome home I will never forget.
