Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one…And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.—Luke 22:36-38.

ONE day the world will be grateful for what America and Israel are doing in crushing the draconian Iranian regime. This is but a quick take on recent historic events. A piece will appear on this and related matters in due course; but due to the unusual high hits the site has received since the conflict began, this post is presented for the interim. The objective of Ops Epic Fury is quite clear: “To dismantle the Iranian regime’s security apparatus, prioritizing locations that pose an imminent threat.” To that end, much is being achieved. It has become messy as is inevitable when dealing with a death-driven regime bent on harming as many others as it collapses. Since the destruction of much of Iran’s nuclear capacity last year (see “The lion also rises”) Iranians in their homeland and abroad have been asking America to finish the task of dismantling the tyrannical structure keeping the unfortunate country straitjacketed. As uprisings occurred due to increased oppression and hardship for the common man over the previous months: the regime cracked down brutally murdering, torturing, incapacitating, and punishing those who stood up to it with a bloodlust that shocked many (or those who accessed a handful of responsible media that revealed the extent of the tragedy).

Yet the American and Israeli efforts under the leadership of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu have met with criticism, scorn, and condemnation. But the world remained silent over the recent horrors in Iran as an estimated 40-over thousand were massacred many of whom were young people: those who rose up against the murderous theocrats, fighting for a better life, one that they deserved. Unfortunately, the world was quiet or muted in its criticism of the Iranian regime, save for the Trump Administration—everyone else offered platitudinous wishful thinking hoping that peace would return soon. How could there be peace with a nightmarish regime in place that has killed countless of its people to stay in power, and caused mayhem and death in the region for decades? A regime that since its inception has targeted Americans and Israelis, incessantly chanting ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’, an epicentre of instability in the Middle East. Now as destruction pours over the regime it is receiving with interest accrued all that it has sent out. Many deaths of Americans and Israelis have been caused by the regime’s machinations including assassination attempts on Trump and Netanyahu: what is the surprise then that what it sent out has returned as karmic retribution?

Most telling is the tardy support for the strikes against the regime, other than those who received the lashings of the serpent in what may be its death throes: the regime has attacked whoever it could. What would the situation be like if the regime had not been stalled in producing nuclear weapons? A nuclear Iran would have held the world hostage as it made its demands just as it built its conventional arsenal to the point that it would have been far too risky to try and remove its nuclear threat. The reality is that as of this moment, the theocracy is being decapitated to prevent that from ever happening. What is most striking is the absolute abnegation of moral courage or a trace of rectitude among most states in calling out the terroristic totalitarian theocracy for what it is; barely any open support for the long-suffering people of Iran, nor celebration over the regime’s neutered nuclear fantasies post-Operation Midnight Hammer. The cowardice of Europe in general, and Britain in particular, is as anticipated. The UK is no longer what it stood for nor a force for good under quockerwodger quisling Keir Starmer’s regime. Trump has made it clear that Starmer’s recalcitrant support for America—once regarded by the UK as its strongest ally—is not appreciated and not welcomed; too little, too late. To prove how unreliable he is as an ally, Starmer plans to return the Chagos islands to Mauritius not only disregarding the wishes of Chagossians who all carry British passports but American displeasure over this—the US has its most important military base beyond its shores on Diego Garcia: the largest island of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. Starmer has agreed enthusiastically to also pay billions of pounds to Mauritius for leasing the islands back to the UK for a period of time. The whole arrangement creates uncertainty as to how long the US can keep its presence on the island.

Antagonising the US is an insufficient achievement for Starmer is sufficiently and successfully alienating himself from his own country: he and his Labourite ideologues have allowed in thousands of illegal immigrants who are bringing Britain down to third world status economically, socially, politically, spiritually—it has also caused safety and security problems within the country. But Starmer stands on the shoulders of those in previous governments: the Tories under Boris Johnson alone brought in 3 million illegals with only 20% having work permits thus breaking the Brexit referendum promise. The illegals manage conveniently through welfare funding, siphoning away British taxpayers’ money. To aggravate matters, most of the illegals in recent years are military service aged men. It is even suggested that up to £40,000 be handed over to each family of ‘asylum seekers’ to get them to leave Britain. This, however, would only serve as an incentive for others to come in so they can continue to impoverish Britain and steal from British taxpayers who are working to subsidise the people who are replacing them and eradicating their way of life, desecrating the British countryside, and erasing Britain’s sense of history. Never to be outdone in undermining his own country, Starmer is also planning to introduce further hate-speech laws to stifle criticisms of certain groups who are openly becoming a public nuisance, threat, and danger; those who are destroying British identity with their own feudal practices, vicious attitudes, caveman culture, warped mindsets that in turn are launched against all forms of reason, clear thought, or any attempt to call them out for what they are doing to their host country. Additionally, in a leaked document it seems to Labour that “flying English, Scottish and Union Jack flags” are ‘tools of hate’; that these national symbols are used to ‘exclude or intimidate’. Apparently, nations, states or countries are about ‘diversity’—not identity, unity and resilience, a shared sense of history. And for ‘diversity’ read ‘disunity’ which makes countries vulnerable as the West has shown consistently.

The British like much of Europe is succumbing to a new dark age: implanting the seeds of their own ruination by incubating the predators who are preying on their women and children, out-populating them so as to eclipse whatever good the West has done by instituting an ideology and doctrine of violence, barbarism, chaos and vindictiveness: camouflaged and fully veiled as religion. Britain and most of Europe have opened the gates to the enemy and handed them the keys to the city. But some enlightened leaders in Hungary, Italy and Poland, with support from their people, have taken measures to stem the invasion of those who seek to flood their country and change it to suit their lifestyle of subjugation by eroding their host’s way of life, spiritual beliefs, customs, national heritage, history, sense of nationhood: their identities as a people, as human beings. Even Japan has understood that they have to stop the immigration of those who insist on their way and that it hold sway over the place they take root in by substituting the existing way of their hosts with practices which they claim have divine sanction but incompatible with the society that made the costly mistake of letting them in.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…

John 10:10

Unlike others in the West, the US and these handful of states are fighting to keep their identities; the openness of the West is the weakness that is being exploited by those who are offended by everything and ashamed of nothing: who seek to kill whoever they choose as their right, flaunt savage practices but shout and protest when they are struck back—even with words. The West has to wake up and understand that suicidal empathy—in the name of this most misunderstood term ‘diversity’—is not an option; and not to be bamboozled by misnomers such as ‘human rights’ and ‘international law’: none of which have been used to chastise Iran which murdered gleefully its own citizens, or the many rape-gangs in Britain and elsewhere who violate in all ways those who think being kind and polite means abject self-humiliation, self-destruction, self-harm, self-immolation.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life…

Romans 6:23.

The Judeo-Christian tradition of the West which is the foundation of its strength and whatever good it has given the world is being targeted deliberately and systematically. The Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov explained how the KGB used four stages in the subversion of a society:

• Demoralisation: 15–20 years to erode moral and intellectual foundations.
• Destabilisation: 2–5 years to disrupt economy, defense, and relations.
• Crisis: Up to six weeks of violent upheaval.
• Normalisation: Imposition of a new regime.

He claimed, accurately, “the United States was already deeply advanced in the demoralisation stage due to infiltration of education, media, and culture.” These methods have been applied with the recent so-called pandemic; and this model of subverting a state and a people are an aspect of psychological operations/war. We can understand this better today by the use of hybrid and fifth-generational warfare which are a function of the Bezmenov stages. The mass influx of illegals and those with cultures that clash with the West’s Judeo-Christian values is classic execution of the Bezmenov stages: the impact on the host country and people specifically involves demoralisation, destabilisation, crises, and attempts to normalise this via restrictive laws on freedom of speech, assembly, and the use of national symbols to express patriotism—all of which are branded as ‘far right’, while nothing seems to be ‘too far left’, ‘overly libertarian’, ‘highly unreasonable’, ‘diversely disunited’, ‘downright dangerous’, or ‘far too moronic’. The West, especially Britain, is well into the Demoralisation phase where many are dispirited despite attempts to stand up to the punishment inflicted upon them: but if there is no further rallying to confront the debacle, the Destabilisation phase will set in.

The mass infiltration and invasion of illegals throughout the West, and mass immigration of certain groups that espouse violent teachings, have to be monitored carefully and prevented, and dealt with through mass deportation. The West and much of our societies have been hobbled by political correctness-Wokeism, suicidal empathy, excessive use of ‘anti-hate speech’ laws integral to cancel culture thereby destroying the use of Reason; overblown ‘sensitivity’ needed to be accorded to those who are ‘offended’ but in turn take umbrage if their offensiveness towards others is questioned and reacted against negatively; the complicity of power and authority in this whole sorry state of affairs: and as Lear says, “that way madness lies”.

Ops Epic Fury and strikes against Iran’s nuclear capability, the whole struggle with illegals in the West, are but the Crusades of old coming back. The unresolved issues and animosity of the past remain; and those who seek to conquer, dominate and replace others by any means including murder cannot be dealt with via discussion and reason. Even in this millennium it is clear that those who only ever understand and wield force and violence can only be countered with the same. The idea of the secular is a Judeo-Christian concept that has been misunderstood and steadily undermined by those who do not respect actual diversity but seek to impose conformity; the secular is used as an excuse to facilitate instilling the virus that starts the next plague of cultural, spiritual, historical decimation of one society by that which is underwritten by a death wish as a form of liberation, pure nihilism.

This is an age of spiritual warfare, and it has to be recognised as such, there is no escape. The attempt to end the Iranian tyranny is revealing who are the other enemies as they raise their ugly heads in support of the mauled theocracy; they are part of the many-headed hydra that has to be confronted. The first battle has begun of what may be written and remembered as the Final Conflict. There will be no Golden Age till this is resolved.

Unconditional Surrender…It’s when they cry ‘Uncle’. We wiped out their leadership numerous times already. If they surrender or if there’s nobody around to surrender. They are rendered useless in terms of their military.

Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory.
