Crude price passes $90 a barrel after tit-for-tat US-Iran strikes
Oil prices continue to rise after the resumption of fighting in the Middle East.
Big setback for Iran
Kharg Island has reportedly suffered severe destruction in fresh US strikes.
9 missile launchers, underground missile & drone storage, a command center, runways and an ammunition dump were destroyed, with dozens of IRGC officials reportedly killed.
One of the oldest tricks in the Mohammedan handbook of deception is to accuse disbelievers of not ‘playing by the rules’ or not ‘fulfilling their commitments’, which never means the Mohammedans must keep up their side of the bargain.
The decrepit Obama regime fell for it, willingly, when it handed the mullahs billions without getting anything in return. Trump isn’t that foolish. He wants to see the mullahs play ball.
Trump vows retaliation after Iran’s own ‘retaliatory’ missile attacks on US bases in Jordan.
Eight Iranian missiles were intercepted by Jordan amid the first major tit-for-tat military strikes in a month.
US forces struck Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island, reportedly killing two people.
Iran threatens further retaliation, while regional tensions reignite across UAE, Qatar and Red Sea.
From Al Jazeera:
In a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the SCO summit with India’s PM Narendra Modi, Iran’s president insisted that “Iran never welcomes war” but the US “has not fulfilled its commitments”.
Iran says it has attacked US bases in Jordan and US military targets at the Al Minhad airbase in the UAE after US forces bombed two rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak Island.
Iran says it has attacked US bases in Jordan and US military targets at the Al Minhad airbase in the UAE after US forces bombed two rocket launchers on Iran’s Larak Island.
UAE’s Defence Ministry rejects Iranian claims that al-Minhad Air Base targeted.
The IRGC says the US attack on Larak Island killed and wounded several Iranian fighters and civilians, according to Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Tehran “is not looking for war”, but would “never sit still in the face of any aggression”.
Iran is becoming North Korea.
Unironically. In the islamic regime’s latest law being passed at this moment, they’re banning all scholarships, studies and work in other countries that aren’t approved by the Ministry of Intelligence.
They’re also banning all contact with “hostile entities”, which at this point is basically the entire outside world. In addition to this, the law applies to Iranians already studying and working abroad too.
What does this mean? It means almost everyone in Iran is banned from moving out the country for work or studies unless they are regime-linked.
This locks down the entire younger generation from ever emigrating. It also means millions of Iranians abroad will be arrested if they dare travel back, even if they have no activist or political history, because they probably work or study in “unapproved” institutions.
Step by step, the islamic regime is locking down the country and turning Iran into a true open air prison. Hell on Earth.
Long bus lines are forming at Iranian fuel stations as gasoline and diesel run short. – Iran Wire.

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery.
We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind.
We weren’t in the crusades. We weren’t at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people?
The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that’s our answer.
Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It’s a lie to say so. It’s a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”
To the shores of Tripoli
The actual quote Hitchens cites is even more illuminating, tying the acts of the Barbary Pirates directly to the Koran:
When Jefferson and Adams asked “by what right the Barbary States made war on nations that had done them no harm, the ambassador responded that it was founded on the laws of their Prophet, written in the Quran: all nations that did not acknowledge Muslim authority were sinners, and it was the right and duty of Muslims to wage war against them, enslave their people, and take their property. He added that any Muslim killed in battle would go to Paradise.”
This account is documented in a March 28, 1786, letter from Jefferson and Adams to Congress, describing the religious justification provided by the ambassador for the attacks on American vessels.
“Resist it while you still can and before the right to complain is taken away from you which will be the next thing ” – Christopher Hitchens
The Second Barbary War was a brief military conflict between the United States and Algiers in 1815, aimed at ending piracy and tribute demands from the Barbary States. The war concluded with an American victory, resulting in the cessation of tribute payments and the release of American captives.
The Second Barbary War, also known as the Algerine War, was a conflict between the United States and the North African Barbary States, primarily Algiers, in 1815. This war marked the end of the United States paying tribute to pirate states for safe passage of American ships.
The war was primarily fought against Algiers, one of the Barbary States, which included Tripoli, Tunis, and Morocco.
02The conflict was sparked by the Barbary pirates’ practice of capturing American merchant ships and demanding ransom for their crews.
03The United States had previously paid tribute to the Barbary States to prevent attacks on their ships, but this practice ended with the Second Barbary War.
04President James Madison declared war on Algiers on March 3, 1815, marking the beginning of the conflict.
Commodore Stephen Decatur led the American naval forces during the war, earning a reputation as a national hero.
06Decatur’s squadron consisted of ten ships, including the flagship USS Guerriere.
07The first significant battle of the war occurred on June 17, 1815, when Decatur’s squadron captured the Algerian flagship Mashouda.
Sidney Powell’s words put religion at center of debate.
Powell says Muslims should get no accommodations and wants them deported from the United States.
She calls Muslims seditionists. She also claims their presence is meant to destroy what America stands for.
That’s not something “she claims”.
That is their well documented, declared duty.
The post targets Muslims as a religious group, not specific people accused of specific acts.
Congress says the First Amendment protects the free exercise of religion.
Congress also says government cannot regulate religious beliefs as such.
That creates a constitutional limit around policies aimed at people because of their religion.
Laura Loomer has made explosive allegations about what she claims is happening inside mosques across America.
Loomer stated that mosques are being used to stockpile military-grade rifles, grenades, knives, and explosives to arm military-aged Muslim men and illegal immigrants. She described it as a coordinated warfare operation aimed at subjugating Americans under Sharia law and urged people to arm themselves in preparation for what she called “Islamic jihad.”
Islam is not only a private faith. It includes a comprehensive legal, political, and social system with doctrines on governance, law, warfare, and submission.
Americans have every right to demand investigation of:
– Foreign funding of mosques and Islamic organizations
– Radical preaching and extremist networks
– Any credible reports of weapons stockpiling or preparation for violence
Religious liberty protects worship. It does not protect criminal activity, terrorism, or efforts to replace the U.S. Constitution with Sharia
Invasions, enslavement, and jihad are being rewritten as celebrations of diversity.
Indeed, but al hijrah, immigration in the way of allah is a most meritorious undertaking for any Mohammedan, since the days of Muhammad. When the prophet of Islam was kicked out of Mecca by his own tribe, the Qureish, he went to seek refuge in a Jewish city called Yathrib, (Medina). Seven years later, Muhammad & his accomplices had murdered the whole population of Medina and sold the women & children into sex slavery.
That’s islamic history, and every Mohammedan is proud of it.
On July 30, more than 72,000 Muslims surged from Morocco into Ceuta, leaving at least 96 dead, and prompting Italy to impose targeted border controls on arrivals from Spain.
But just as Italy tries to protect itself, Italians continue to be bombarded with a very different story about their past: mass migration and multiculturalism, they are told—particularly from the Islamic world—are part of the very essence of Italy, especially Sicily.
Consider one National Geographicarticle, “From Kasbahs to Couscous—How Sicily Has Celebrated Its Diversity Through the Centuries.”
Sicily, we are told, is the “Gates of Europe,” an island whose identity has always been shaped by foreigners: “immigration is not a footnote to Sicilian history; it’s part of the essence of an island shaped by outsiders.”
There is, however, one problem with this narrative: it treats jihadist conquests as mere episodes of “immigration.”
Thus, while discussing Mazara del Vallo, now home to Italy’s largest Arab community, the magazine asserts that modern Tunisian migration represents merely “the latest wave in a history of immigration from North Africa that goes back to the 9th century CE.”
And what sort of “immigration” occurred in the ninth century?
In National Geographic’s very next words, “a Tunisian-led army invaded Sicily, turning it into an Islamic emirate for the next 200 years.”
Just like the Mohammedans. They operate by the book.
🇯🇵 A few months ago, the Japanese Communist Party leader openly called for the total disappearance of Japan as a country. She said it was her “ultimate goal”.
To justify it, she quotes John Lennon’s “Imagine” which is a favorite of many leftists. pic.twitter.com/PUbPO9FoR1
“Imagine” would have the be the dumbest song ever written. Deranged creatures are found in every nation, some of them are just useful idiots, others are a danger to themselves & others. How should they be dealt with in civilised society?

A working plan is being discussed to facilitate the departure of Palestinian families from Gaza and their reunification with relatives in Europe, according to reports from well-sourced security channels.
That will not end well. We all know that. It might be the straw that breaks the camels back. Europe has developed the extraordinary and suicidal habit of interpreting every humanitarian emergency as an argument for settlement in Europe.
Some Gazans want to leave Gaza. That’s fine. But what is not fine is the proposal that Europe, the long-suffering continent with a surfeit of Muslims who have caused so much mayhem, expense, and crime, is where these Muslim Arabs in Gaza — some 40,000 of them — raised on a steady diet of antisemitism and raised, as well, to despise all non-Muslims as “the most vile of created beings,” ought to be transplanted. More on this madness can be found here: “Europe Wants Thousands of Gazans to Immigrate. What Could Go Wrong?,” by Jonathan Sacerdoti, Algemeiner, August 24, 2026
Just one Muslim from Gaza living in the UK was allowed two months ago to bring in twenty relatives from the Strip. They don’t speak English. They have no useful skills. They have been used to living, as their fathers before them, on the UNRWA dole. They are certainly not going to contribute to the UK economy. They will almost certainly need to receive all of the welfare benefits offered by the British government. And for every Gazan allowed in — the number now being bruited about is 40,000, for a start — how many will those initial 40,000 be able to bring in, as part of the policy of “family reunification” to which the soft-hearted British government subscribes, hundreds of thousands more Gazans?
Almost 24 hours after Ville Tavio, Finnish minister for foreign trade and development, said Finland would stop funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the Israeli Foreign Ministry lauded the development.
“Israel welcomes Finland’s decision to end its multi-year funding for UNRWA,” the Jewish state said on Friday. “It is good to see more countries recognizing the undeniable truth in light of the conclusive evidence of UNRWA employees’ involvement in the Oct. 7 massacre and UNRWA’s inseparable links to Hamas.”
“UNRWA is a hotbed of terrorism,” the Israeli ministry said of the U.N. agency. “It is part of the problem, not part of the solution.”
The IDF eliminated Hamas Nukhba terrorists Hazem Mousa and Razek Sahil Suleiman Abu Shahma, who served as a bodyguard to Yahya Sinwar.
Both terrorists infiltrated the Re’im camp during the October 7 Massacre and continued advancing terror attacks against Israeli troops and civilians in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
The IDF will continue operating to defend the people of Israel.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged Friday that the U.S. blockade has slashed Iran’s trade and left critical imports — including gasoline — unable to enter the country, as the Trump administration intensifies an economic offensive aimed at isolating a regime already confronting mounting hardship and the threat of renewed unrest.
Pezeshkian said Iranian imports and exports have fallen between 25 and 35 percent under U.S. sanctions and the blockade, with his government now considering doubling the price of gasoline purchased beyond subsidized quotas as supplies tighten.
“The route is now blocked, and goods are not coming in,” he conceded during a televised interview Friday night. “One of those goods is gasoline.”
Iran feels the pinch, but bitches:
Iran’s government says it will stand firm against US sanctions, and rely equally on diplomacy and defence to protect its interests.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC) claims that it maintains firm control over the Strait of Hormuz, accusing US leaders of spreading false statements regarding the passage to sway energy prices.
The White House has told Al Jazeera that the US naval blockade remains fully active, reiterating that the strait is open and cleared of mines while Washington holds no talks with Iran.
Iran’s president says sanctions have cut the country’s trade by up to 35% Pezeshkian told a Government Week interview that exports and imports have fallen 25 to 35 percent under the American sanctions and blockade, and that prices will keep climbing because importers face steeper transport costs.
He said Iran sold roughly 90 million barrels of oil during the June memorandum with Washington, and that Tehran will not honor its commitments if the U.S. and Israel do not honor theirs, naming the banking sanctions and petrochemical embargo that were supposed to lift.
He also demanded Washington force Israel to halt its campaign in Lebanon. Notice what he chose to talk about next: energy conservation, and the claim that a 10 percent savings equals 900,000 barrels a day. A president reduced to selling efficiency at home is a president without much else to offer, which is the clearest confirmation yet that the pressure could actually be landing. What it has not produced is a change in Iran’s terms.

Iran’s Basij paramilitary force calls for national unity
The Basij volunteer paramilitary force is praising government efforts to counter what it described as plots by Iran’s enemies and urged it to continue pursuing what the organisation characterised as a measured approach.
No need to wish them good luck with their efforts. The Iranians will hang them from lamp posts soon enough.
The numbers of Mohammedans in South Korea is growing rapidly.
Islam is a “minor religion” in South Korea, with about 200,000 Muslims, primarily consisting of foreign residents. The Muslim community is mainly concentrated in cities like Seoul and Busan.
South Korea’s right-wing commentator Hasebi KR says:
I recently moved to a new neighborhood. This area used to be completely peaceful. But as soon as I arrived, I saw that the whole neighborhood is now filled with Muslims.
Are you puzzled why so many LGBT activists are so passionately pro-Palestine and so hostile toward Israel? Not just critical of a policy. Not just angry at a prime minister. I mean the full activist package, signs, flags, chants, moral lectures and complete confidence that Israel is the villain.
Update:
Muslim – GAY – Korean alliance in Japan, holds a protests demanding Japan to abolish its military and open its borders pic.twitter.com/Z9nyE6sk8Z
Because if we are talking about the actual treatment of gay people, Israel is not even in the same moral universe as the forces these activists keep romanticizing. Israel is not perfect, no country is, but it is diverse, openly argumentative and home to a visible LGBT community that can organize, march, vote, sue and publicly demand more rights. The State Department has reported that Israeli law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and is generally enforced, even though discrimination still exists. Reuters has covered public Pride events in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Now compare that with the world the protest signs usually excuse. In the West Bank and Gaza, the State Department reported strong societal opposition to LGBTQ activities, Palestinian police often acted to prevent those activities, and observers said human rights groups in Gaza did not openly monitor or address LGBTQ matters.
Then there are the jihadists. ISIS did not need a city council vote. Human Rights Watch cited UN reporting that ISIS executed gay and bisexual men and transgender people by throwing them from high-rise buildings.
And then we saw the American version in Hamtramck, Michigan, the city that made history with an all-Muslim city council. In 2023, that council unanimously banned Pride flags from city property. AP later reported a federal judge allowed the policy to stand, noting some council members said Pride flags clashed with their religious beliefs.
That is the cartoon in real life.
One side waves the flag, marches in the street and shouts solidarity. The other side, when it gains power, says put the flag away.
No Mohammedan should hold high office in any western country.
The fucking audacity.
