Alleged F-35 Downed in Iran

The Islamic Republic of Iran launched a symbolic retaliatory strike on empire base, Al-Udeid, in Qatar with the nomenclature “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory.” Warnings were issued by Iran in advance, so the strike was obviously for public consumption. “Operation True Promise III” continues in earnest. Welcome back to Lou’s Kabuki Theater.

Iran foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, met with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin yesterday. Subsequent to the meeting, Russian defense minister Andrey Belousov and deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkove reaffirmed commitments to Iran. Some analysts are stating the Russia is now planning to send a number of air defense assets amongst other hardware and humanitarian aid to Iran.

“Orange” Psyops?

Later today, “Orange Bad Man” made the declaration on social media that a truce was going into effect with “Israel” and Iran. “Orange” claimed that the war has “ENDED.” A few hours later, Araghchi stated, as of now, there was “no agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations, adding that if the Zionist regime halted its aggression “no later than 4 a.m. Tehran time,” Iran would also end its response. From all indications, Russia (and China) were the major influencers, not “Orange.” Apparently, when Vladimir Putin speaks (or calls), the recipient listens and takes his words seriously. No further details so far.

Well, the resident manager of the “old folks home” in Waikiki was terminated a day or so ago. The reason remains a mystery, although a few of the residents are determined to uncover the details.

The acquisition of a small microwave oven is being contemplated. Unfortunately, the Target® in Waikiki does not stock any. Store transfers are also not possible. There is no desire to procure the appliance at the Ala Moana Center store and transport it back to Waikiki on public transit. The desire to acquire the appliance is based on “shrinkflation” of prepared food.

Addendum: The voluntary “ceasefire” is allegedly in effect now. There is no formal agreement, so best to describe it as a pause in hostilities. The timing (and nature) of this event is surreal at best. How long will it last?

Postscript: To recap … upon return from meeting Vladimir Putin in Russia, Iran foreign minister Araghchi expressed appreciation to the armed forces of Iran and announced a cessation of hostilities if the Zionist regime did the same. The Zionist regime begrudgingly agreed. “Orange Bad Man” claimed to have negotiated a ceasefire. Interestingly, gone were his bellicose rhetoric and “regime change” threats. He assumed a more docile stance. Very strange. If the curtains are pulled back from Lou’s Kabuki Theater, another “force” appears to be at play. Who or what could have made both the Iranians and the Zionists stand down? And, what about the abrupt change in tone from empire? Most likely, Vladimir Putin (with the full backing of Xi Jinping) has decided to mummify the spiraling escalation toward the secular Apocalypse. Hopefully, Larry Johnson, Colonel Doug Macgregor, and Max Blumenthal will provide more insight.
