Everybody has his reasons. Ask a murderer why he killed; he’ll have a perfectly sound reason: “He was messing with my girl,” for example. Liars tell their tall tales for a purpose.
They say that though he had promised peace when he was elected President Wilson was convinced that he had to join in WW1 by JP Morgan. JP Morgan had lent a fortune to the allies’ war effort and knew that if they didn’t win they would default. He needed to make the world safe for JP Morgan.
But that kind of slogan wouldn’t cut it. So, Wilson put together a committee to find the right slogan and do the propaganda.
The young Edward Bernays helped them to come up with “Make the world safe for democracy,” and then went on to become the finest propagandist of our age.
The slogan continues to do its work, but before swallowing it whole, remember where it came from.
“There are only two ways forward...either peace or war. Either you stick to negotiation, courts, laws, rules, customs...and the common, vernacular decency of civilized people.” 😂 🤣😂 please Bill, you crack me up! Where were these blogs when Biden was breaking all the above and we are now in all this world wide mess because of the last corrupt administration. Obama and Biden sending billions to Iran to help support their nuclear program and supporting this most evil ideology against America. If the 2020 election wasn’t rigged, the world wouldn’t be in our current mess! But thank you for supporting the left, and fully understand why you don’t live in America anymore. So enough of this BS and please keep to the truth and the facts and making money.
Hey Steve, he IS making money. On stooges like us who pay him to read his drivel! It ends for me when my latest subscription expires. I will miss the comment section and people though. Well, most of them….
I've been following Bill since he wrote Hormegeddon, back in the 70s I think. I can't understand why he's quoting from The Tehran Times; the semi-official mouthpiece of the Iranian government. I take issue with this last post. Here's a quote from the IAEA, dated 5/25:
"Iran can convert its current stock of 60 percent enriched uranium into 233 kg of WGU in three weeks at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), enough for 9 nuclear weapons, taken as 25 kg of weapon-grade uranium (WGU) per weapon.
● Iran could produce its first quantity of 25 kg of WGU in Fordow in as little as two to three
days."
So, Bill what would you have had Israel, a country the size of New Jersey, do? Count on diplomacy; bet on Iran not using the atomic bomb, move Israel to New Mexico? Oh, and Israel may have only 2 to 3 days. How about relying in Iran not having a proper missile, but, then again, Iran has trucks that could carry a suitcase bomb. Remember, Israel better be right; there is no do over if it's wrong. Other choice; destroy the bomb before it arrives is Israel unannounced. I say BOOM.
Unfortunately, Jimm, negotiations only work when there is trust. No one playing with a lick of sense trust either Israel or the U.S. And for absolutely the right reasons - over and over and over again the U.S. and Israel have proven they are not to be trusted. It is that simple........
Confused. Are you suggesting the comment was solely aimed at the TACO Clown? If so, paranoid runs amok. The U.S. and Israel have not been trustworthy forever. But, today, the U.S. is not the 300 lbs gorilla it used to be. It's military isn't the best in the world. The US isn't self-sufficient. And the World is accelerating its turn to other currencies because no one trusts the U.S. This isn't just about the TACO Clown - Peace President.....balance the budget.......focus on America........more and more drivel. Lies. Lies. And more Lies.
In the last few days, apparently the world has flocked to US bonds.
In the last 40 years Iran has NEVER negotiated in good faith. And that includes the last 2 months. And while Israel and U.S. weapons are attacking military targets, Iran attacks hospitals.
Keep in mind - US $31T, China $19T (maybe?), everybody else about $4T. Oil usage daily -the world 100M barrels, US 20M barrels. Note Russia’s failures in Ukraine? Wonder why?
The US is still the big dog, we have just had leadership the last 20 years that tried to hide it.
I'm not confused in the least. Apparently you haven't been paying attention to what the Israel-U.S. military forces accomplished over the last couple weeks. After which, I don't think the leaders in China and Russia are in any hurry to mess with us. Time will tell.
And here at home, the latest polls indicate about 80% of Americans (and even a majority of Democrats) support the action your favorite President took. It must suck carrying all that hate around.
🤣 still using the taco moniker? I was thinking this latest achievement would shut you up with that ridiculous comment. TACO TACO TACO!!! TACO all the way! Hilarious
Gee Whiz, Bill!! Here I thought that the Biden administration wasn't too bad, based on your "non" detailed writings of any serious flaws, unlike your very detailed terrible and horrible flaws of Trump. However, your completely unbiased beautifully written prose on Trump's shortcomings are taken for what they are worth, crap.
Bill declares that “everyone knows” Iran was not making a nuclear bomb. An obvious and demonstrable lie contradicted not by stories liars tell but by facts. Stubborn facts. He also declares that liars tell their tale for a purpose. What’s this liars “purpose”?
IMHO his purpose is to elicit vigorous debate from this your favourite commentary forum. Why else would you continue punishing yourself daily by reading his thoughts.
I read it for the investment ideas. So far, Bill’s still yolked to the content. Also - to be fair - Bill does occasionally amuse with a clever turn of phrase. But he also loves to shit the bed with some unbalanced nonsense.
From your reply may I take it that you also enjoy the vigorous debate and repartee Bill elicits from his audience even though it can be very infuriating through his avoidance of the "facts" whatever they mean?
Most do not want war, but many certainly support it; i.e., the Military Industrial Complex. Very profitable if you get paid to make things that get blown up only to be replaced at handsome profits. Bonner, on the other hand, is again sounding naive, which is hard to believe given is understanding of history. I have observed how Trump Derangement Syndrome seems to interfere with people I know who seem to otherwise be "normal." Isn't it time for Bill to move on and park his TDS? Today the shipping stocks are down and so is gold, silver and oil. Bill should take a moment to write about that.
Well I’ll be hogtied, waterboarded in kerosene, and baptized in depleted uranium, this here piece of prophecy wrapped in press clipping is the most honest fictional news I’ve read since the last time the CIA published a cookbook. I would like to formally thank Mr. Bonnet for illuminating the path through this post-truth rodeo where diplomacy is conducted with napalm valentines and peace is announced with the same enthusiasm as a used car commercial during a missile strike.
Fully agree, in a world where fake ceasefires are brokered by men who think Twitter is a war room and Truth Social is a holy scroll, it’s only natural that “Please do not violate it” is less of a demand and more of a polite suggestion shouted from a burning embassy. Hell, Trump’s diplomacy makes more sense when you realize it’s not meant for Iran, but for the popcorn-eating American audience back home who confuse World War III with WrestleMania. “THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT” he yells, while the bombs are still mid-air like it’s a goddamn fireworks finale at a Fourth of July truck rally.
As for reasons? Oh partner, we got more reasons than a preacher at a strip club. “Freedom,” “terrorism,” “security,” “democracy”, the holy buffet of American Justification, but the truth is, war’s just murder with a flag on top. You don’t need a PhD to see it’s all a damn game of geopolitical charades where the only thing real is the body count. From “Rolling Thunder” to “Rolling Twitter Threads,” the show don’t change, just the platforms. Bomb ’em, lie about it, blame it on someone else, then cry about peace while counting defense stocks like communion wafers.
“Lower the heat by raising the fire” sounds like a slogan for a North Carolina barbecue cult, not foreign policy, but here we are, ribs and warheads both sizzling, led by men who couldn’t find Iran on a map if you slapped ‘em with a globe. But don’t worry, Trump says “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE”, right after he licked the match.
more liars lying, anything to hurt the Man, TDS, lying TDS - - oh well, we have come to expect a few paragraphs of bullshit.... I couldn't finish reading this crap, I mean what's the point. It is filled with slander and lies. Life goes on, thank God for Tom and Dan.
Yes, when my subscription expires, I’ll miss them the most, but like you said, life goes on. At least I’ll have more time to spend on other endeavors, instead of responding to Bonner’s garbage.
So POTUS wants Powell to begin another round of financial repression. There's one thing both of these Statists can agree on; no way in hell do they want the market to determine the interest rate :-) The honest way to lower interest rates is simple and straightforward. Get your financial house in order. The honest path is a non starter once your government attains FUBAR. So financial repression it is. Financial repression is just a modern version of stealing from the productive class to enrich the parasites. The parasitic class does one thing real well; eviscerate capital :-)
Yes brother Craig, most of us know this house of cards is coming down soon, but it’s still very entertaining to watch. I have to catch myself daily to not get upset and look at all the insanity as what it really is. Just more Reality Tv and dumb entertainment. The truth is in our daily lives, with the people we surround ourselves with and the lives we live. Until the enemy come a knockin on my door, or my buddies come ready to defend America, there is no reason to get upset, because we can’t change a thing. Just live your best life and love those worthy of it, and it will all be good in the end. 😊
Totally agree! It would be easier to digest if we didn't have to contend with the mental midgets among us empowering these miscreants :-) Celebrating your serfdom is a really bad look!
The truth is it’s a small minority of very sick and demented individuals who not only cause the problems, but magnify them daily on the boob tube and in these daily rants. All bullshit that is not happening near me nor you. When it comes to my backyard, it will be addressed immediately and then they’ll learn a very valuable lesson…can’t fix stupid or democrats, but like dogs and cats, can fix them🤔
Angry, in My opinion it is not sides that are chosen , but a different view. Now one can pick sides. That depends on what one thinks and concludes. I look at Bill's writing as a different view. That way I can compare other views to see what is truth or political maneuvering. Thanks for Your comment. I appreciate all comments on this site. Have a good day Eh!
Likewise, I appreciate and respect your opinions... on that note: Bill is certainly looking at a different POV... unfortunately Mr. Bonner seems to be overlooking some POV's he ought to consider.
Good luck with that "truth" thingy... whatever that is...

Absolutely! A communist,racist pretending to be a democrat socialist.

There is a third way forward - the way it's been going for the last 50 years or so :-)
Agree brother, war,
Peace or bullshit! Either way it’s all Bullshit!

Shhhhh, Bill and a few others on here don't like to deal with the pesky truth.
So just when you thought Bonner couldn’t sink any lower, he starts off with quotes from gangster rappers and the Huff and Puff Post! Lord have mercy.
"War does not solve problems, but rather it amplifies them and produces deep wounds in the history of people that take generations to heal.
No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fears of children, the stolen futures.
Let diplomacy silence the weapons.
Let nations chart their future with works of peace, not with violence and bloody conflicts!"
Pope Leo. Rome
Ha! pope Leo indeed. Another communist liar and fraud.
more blah blah blah, diplomacy? Better luck playing liars poker. IF only we were not human, perhaps this drivel would have a chance.
Sadly, you make an astute point: Throughout recorded history, our species are always killing each other. More:
--Human history is recorded by listing one war after another.
--More people; more wars.
--US citizens possess more firearms than most armies.
--Every few seconds, someone somewhere on this planet is murdered.
But diplomacy does work. So does crisis mediation. Both, however, require willing parties.
Unfortunately, Jimm, negotiations only work when there is trust. No one playing with a lick of sense trust either Israel or the U.S. And for absolutely the right reasons - over and over and over again the U.S. and Israel have proven they are not to be trusted. It is that simple........
Tell me, were you two this exercised when Clinton, Obama and Biden were bombing and drone assassinating all over the world?
Confused. Are you suggesting the comment was solely aimed at the TACO Clown? If so, paranoid runs amok. The U.S. and Israel have not been trustworthy forever. But, today, the U.S. is not the 300 lbs gorilla it used to be. It's military isn't the best in the world. The US isn't self-sufficient.

…..’ You are reading the morning paper upside down’….
Couldn’t think of anything worthwhile to write about, so you gave this drivel?
Another day, another dollar at BPR.

It’s purely personal, IMHO. Nothing else makes sense. Or he’s getting dementia, another distinct possibility.
I don’t enjoy responding to outright falsehoods.

You’d think!!!
Bill is just Wagging the Dog, or in his case, playing his Trump Card🤔
I'm gunna miss the comments section lol
Besides Wednesday and Friday evenings it's all I read. Great insight from a few of you though some have left.

There is so much to say about this post but I've already wasted enough time reading it. Stupid and disgusting.
The only thing we can be assured of to be fake, Bongo Bill, is your grasp on the facts of reality when it comes to anything Trump.
Mr. Bonner tells us the "murderer" will have a "perfectly sound reason".
Mr. Trump has a "perfectly sound reason" to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities.
Mr. Bonner doesn't elaborate whether the "murderer" is vindicated.
Murder in war is subjective.
Obviously for the loser it's carnage and slayings... murder!
For the victor it's a defensive act.
Which side is Mr. Bonner on?
Angry, in My opinion it is not sides that are chosen , but a different view. Now one can pick sides. That depends on what one thinks and concludes. I look at Bill's writing as a different view.
