QUESSTION: Netanyahu has told Lebanon to purge themselves of Hezbollah and Iran to overthrow their religious government. Do you think regime change is the target objective in this conflict?
NS
ANSWER: Regime Change tends to be more of a wish than an actual military goal. Largely this is the old saying the king is deal, long live the king. Regime Change depends upon the people. Far too often some assume that if you just take out the head of state, you will get regime change. You may get a change far worse. The goal of Israel for their response would break down to three strategies.
(1) Attack Military Targets (that produce the missiles
(2) Economic Targets, such as the oil production
(3) The nuclear targets
The first would be a proportional response. The second would disrupt the world economy sending energy prices higher which Biden is against before the election, and the third is far more difficult for they are underground and Israel lacks bunker attack type bombs that the US does possess.
In Japan, it was the military government that seized control and made the emperor subservient to them. The Japanese blamed their military for causing the war so you have had a deep concern about them ever again seizing power. That is the regime change that can take place after a military confrontation.

Brazil’s Supreme Court lifted the ban on X, formerly known as Twitter, after the platform paid out $5.2 million in fines for spreading disinformation. Brazil’s sudden ban on the social media platform should act as a warning to the rest of the world that governments are prepared and ready to silence the freedom of speech without a second’s notice.
Justice de Moraes was particularly concerned that X CEO Elon Musk was hesitant to ban accounts deemed offensive by Brazilian authorities. He attempted to freeze all of Elon Musk’s businesses in Brazil from X to SpaceX. Musk closed X’s Brazilian office in response, and accused Justice de Moraes of being a “criminal of worst kind masquer as a judge,” for attempting to stifle free speech.
Musk said that he would use SpaceX to provide free internet service to all Brazilians impacted by the ban. In response, the Brazilian government froze all of Starlink’s finances. The government even considered confiscating those frozen funds and using them to pay X’s fines. So even a man as powerful as Elon Musk who has both the ability to provide internet AND a free social media platform was banished by government.
Why not use a VPN? Well, the government was willing to bankrupt anyone who attempted to access the website by threatening them with a $9,000 DAILY fine. Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency forced Apply and Google to prevent Android and iOS users from accessing X.
Now, Brazilians compose the sixth-largest market for X with over 21.5 million users. Losing Brazil was a huge loss for the platform. Musk eventually agreed to pay $5.2 million in fines to Brazilian government and will begin to block individual accounts – he was forced to cave.
Governments will “lose control” is free speech on social media is permitted, as Hillary Clinton said. This is a global phenomenon and every platform has been infiltrated by governments. Expect authorities to continue asking for more control over these platforms as they cannot risk the people questioning the mainstream media’s narrative.

COMMENT: Marty, you have been spot on. North Korea, China, and Iran are banning together with Russia. What you have laid out is basic common sense. The ancient saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I don’t understand how common sense seems to be no so common certainly among our journalists who appear to be promoting war all the time.

REPLY: The news is now touting that North Korea has sent troops to fight alongside Russia in Ukraine. When we do this, they are labelled “advisers” not troops. They are helping to operate the launchers for North Korean ballistic missile systems that Pyongyang has supplied to Moscow. There are also Brits there as “advisers” assisting in the same targeting of UK weapons. This is how the media flips things. If North Korean is sending “troops” then that justifies America sending in troops rather than just advisers who provide the target data to strike inside Russia and Russian ships in the Black Sea.
North Korea has been preparing for war with the South constructing a border wall and they are completely severing road and rail ties with the South. Kim Jong Un for the first time openly rejected the goal of an eventual reconciliation or reunification between the two countries. He now sees the South as the enemy. That is a significant departure. This is a project that is preparing for another Korean War and as I have warned, a coordinated attack with China vs Taiwan, Russia takes out Kiev, and Iran sends troops to attack Israel, and you begin to see that these four powers can overwhelm Western forces.
Our Neocons are out of their minds. The mere fact that Dick Cheney is supporting Kamala is confirmation alone this election is all about World War III. They have staged a coup under Biden of Foreign Policy and this is why they are all supporting Kamala. The presumed the average American is just too stupid to pay attention while the guys are cheering sport and women are protesting abortion, they slide World War III into play on the most dangerous level in human history. NEVER do they consider perhaps they might be wrong and they lost once again as they have lost EVERY war since World War II.
