Gordon Chang Outlines Quiet Administration Motive to Support Israeli Strikes Against Iran


In the beginning of this discussion we might discover the deeper motive for President Trump to support Israeli strikes against Iran.

Remember, President Trump proactively diffused any reactionary Russian response by talking directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin prior to the eruption of conflict inside Iran. That discussion puts the Chinese interests into a somewhat isolated position.  From recent Trump comments we can also see the carrot of sanction removal at play.

China has significant economic exposure within Beijing’s financial ties to Iran. With 90% of Iranian oil production fueling the Chinese economy any disruption would have considerable impact. As Gordon Chang notes in the interview with Maria Bartiromo, no one knows what China is currently sending into Iran via air cargo flights over the past several days. WATCH:

The surface benefit to Israeli attacks against Iran is the elimination of the nuclear threat.  The underlying benefit from a USA perspective is the weakening of Chinese economic power that comes as an outcome of the current Iranian regime.

Chang is correct to put emphasis on these mysterious cargo flights.

The USA drone war capability has been tested in Ukraine and Russia.  That capability, an enhanced capability thanks to the work of Palantir, could very well be deployed deep inside Iran as the IDF retains total air dominance.  Palantir (Peter Thiel and Alex Karp) are ideologically aligned with the goals and objectives of Israel.

Antifa and the FBI – Ask the Right Questions


Posted originally on CTH on June 19, 2025 | Sundance

As President Trump is known to say, “don’t make it complicated.”  Just look at things as they are, as they present themselves to be, and ask the most obvious questions.

Consider Antifa.

How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police.  Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos…. Completely without being stopped?

It doesn’t matter where it is happening, that’s irrelevant.  Think plainly and simply.

How does any individual or group get to do this without being arrested?

It doesn’t make sense… unless….

…. Unless…. The group conducting the violence cannot be arrested.

Many people are coming around to the understanding that the FBI is Antifa.

If the FBI did not support Antifa, quite simply Antifa would not exist.  They are right there, highly visible, doing illegal things on camera, repeatedly, all over the country, and the FBI doesn’t lift a finger to stop them.  Why?

The only thing that makes sense is that the FBI wants this activity to take place.

If they did not want it to take place, they would stop it and arrest the lawbreakers who are attacking federal buildings and officers.

This is not complicated.

The FBI supports Antifa.

… If they did not support them, the FBI would stop them.

Remember this.

If the FBI is Antifa, the next question becomes…. are the Cartels the CIA?

President Trump Gives Himself Two Weeks to Decide Whether to Strike Iran

The White House is now saying Iran has everything they need to build a nuclear weapon, the only remaining factor is when to assemble it. “Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “All they need is a decision from the supreme leader to do that.”

Press Secretary Leavitt then announced President Trump will make the decision to conduct U.S. military strikes within two weeks. “Based on the fact that there is a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place in the near future, I will make my decision of whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday.

Benjamin Netanyahu also answered a question about when the Trump administration will become involved.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Rejects CA Governor Argument – Affirms Power of President Trump to Control National Guard


Posted originally on CTH on June 20, 2025 | Sundance

While it is a strong win, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision to fully stay the lower court order was not unexpected.  The temporary restraining order issued by District Judge Charles Breyer was obviously political and legally weak, very weak.

The Ninth CCA simply affirmed that a violent crisis was afoot in California; federal officials and buildings were under attack; the local police and state government did nothing to stop it; so President Trump took legally authorized action to intervene, and took control of the national guard. [SEE RULING HERE]

The decision is not complicated.  The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded President Trump lawfully exercised his authority in federalizing control of the guard.  The ruling affirmed the Trump administration presented enough evidence to show it had a rationale for doing so, citing violent acts by protesters.

“The undisputed facts demonstrate that before the deployment of the National Guard, protesters ‘pinned down’ several federal officers and threw ‘concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects’ at the officers. Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van’s windows,” the court wrote. “The federal government’s interest in preventing incidents like these is significant.”

The court also found that even if the federal government failed to notify the governor of California before federalizing the National Guard as required by law, Newsom had no power to veto the president’s order.  A common sense straightforward interpretation of the law.

Now, let’s expand this lawful process into every non-compliant blue city and state and go remove the illegal aliens.

China to Become World Nuclear Energy Super Power

Thorium

China has discovered a massive 1-million-ton thorium deposit valued at $178 billion that could potentially power the nation for the next 60,000 years. Thorium is a radioactive metal found in the Earth’s crust that is three times as common as uranium. One ton of thorium can produce as much energy as 200 tons of uranium or 3.5 million tons of coal.

“For generations, nations have fought wars over oil and gas—yet we’ve had a clean energy solution beneath our feet all along,” one Chinese scientist commented. Thorium is praised as a less toxic alternative as the radioactive waste it produces loses its toxicity within a few hundred years, compared to uranium-235, which could take thousands of years to neutralize. Reactors powered by thorium do not produce greenhouse gases. Thorium could be converted to nuclear fuel that can power molten salt reactors, heavy water reactors, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, and more.

India is currently at the forefront of thorium-based nuclear technology and has several multi-billion-dollar projects underway. Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) fueled by uranium generate plutonium. That plutonium is then used by Deploy Fast Breeder Reactors (FBRs) to create fissile material such as uranium-233. The final stage employs the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) and other thorium-based fuels that are designed to operate on thorium-plutonium and thorium-uranium-233 mixed oxide fuels.

It is believed that India is currently in possession of 846,477 tons of thorium, with some agencies suggested the figure could be as high as 1 million. Before the discovery in China, India held about 30% of global thorium. The nation is on the path to achieve 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. China is now on par with India in terms of thorium holdings.

China relied on Russia and Kazakhstan for uranium imports, purchasing around 16,390 tons or $2.32 billion in natural uranium in 2024. China’s strategy was to source one-third of its uranium domestically, but this discovery will change everything once mining is underway.

China has been phasing out coal and already has plans to be self-sufficient in energy by 2035. Thorium itself is not fissile and cannot be used in nuclear weapons directly, as many are wondering. Yet, uranium-233 certainly can be used in nuclear weapons. The US produced nearly 2 tons of uranium-233 during the Cold War and tested the theory.

India and China now have the ability to become the world’s leading nuclear-powered nations.
