    I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.

    Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.

      I’ve been telling everyone I know that it’s extremely obvious they’re trying to provoke a terror attack on US soil.

      They want another 9/11, so they can indefinitely cancel elections. That’s the whole fucking plan.

        Would be funny if it backfires and at the next SOTU just one American does the right thing and set off a bomb vest in the middle of that crowd.

      Well yeah when you know you need that disaster to happen then you do this, bonus because you might have to do the disaster yourself and you will not have anyone to link it back to you.
