What We Can Learn from Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders

In #mainstreaming and alt political cultures there’s a constant call in messy times for “strong leaders” to cut through the chaos, but this is the wrong path. What Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders actually show is something more uncomfortable and more useful that real change doesn’t come from strong individuals - it comes from movements we don’t fully control. They were signals, not saviours. Both figures emerged on the left because something deeper was already shifting with […]

Oh You, European Simpletons! Prevent Death Cult From Getting Nuclear Bombs!


Abstract: A world war between oligarchic democracy and futuristic tyrannies is in process. If oligarchic democracy does not win, tyranny will, or whatever is left after copious nuclear exchanges.

The 2026 conflict with Iran has vindicated the technological prowess of the Iranian military while highlighting a civilizational threat: the “Death Cult” of Shia fundamentalism. Rooted in 13 centuries of remorse and self-flagellation over the Battle of Karbala, this ideology is characterized as inherently suicidal and martyrological

Providing such a regime with nuclear weapons is an existential threat to Europe, as the cult’s ultimate desire is to be “nuclear bombed” to achieve martyrdom

Drawing parallels to Japan’s 1930s Bushido-driven expansion and the eventual “surprise” of Pearl Harbor, the text critiques European “simpletons” and “headless chickens” for their passivity and colonial guilt

We conclude that a “Just War”—aimed at flipping the regime and defanging the Revolutionary Guard—is necessary to preserve planetary civilization, asserting that Europe’s survival is incompatible with a nuclear-armed theocracy in Tehran.

No mercy should be shown because the ultimate enemy is in the Kremlin, bristling with nukes, and deserves the same treatment. Not because we want to punish, but because we want to survive.

Europe pretended to have learned well the main lessons from Nazism. However, Europe still has to pass the final exam, and cannot ask Washington to pass in its stead.

In the 2026 Iran War, Iranian military technology has performed remarkably well. Already in 2025, one could see Iranian missiles coming down in Haifa extremely close to Israeli anti-missile batteries, a remarkable feat. In 2026, high precision strikes, including on US military installations, showed that this was no fluke. 

Iran was a centerpiece to civilization for at least 7,000 years… But unfortunately, like much of Middle Earth, with its hydraulic problems, all too often ended with regimes which were more dictatorial than in Europe. The dichotomy has become more obvious since Muslim Arabs conquered Persia… Which counter-attacked with its own variant of Islam, the Shia (initially that simply meant the “Party” of Ali and his sons). 

All over the world, simpletons who do not know enough have not enough imagination to realize that a Death Cult like the Shia sh*t on humanity because the Shia’s dream is to kill as many as possible while dying as martyrs (yes, I lived in Iran!) 

 

That’s why they beat themselves bloody with chains, or cut their heads with razors or knives as in the accompanying picture in Lebanon. Shia faithful tend to hate (much of early) Islam because it conquered Persia, killed Ali, Hussein… And yet they are Muslims, so they hate themselves and beat themselves bloody. 

So why would we want the Death Cult to have nuclear bombs? Granted, there are lots of Nazis around who want to annihilate Israel, and half a dozen nuclear bombs over Israel would do it. So, understandably the Nazis and those obsessed with Judaism, would be happy for Iran to have nuclear bombs. 

 

HOWEVER, the first bombings done by the Shia Death Cult were in France… Rather curious, as France harbored the Ayatollah Khomeni (probably as an anti-US maneuver)… But here we see the beating bloody with chain behavior re-merge… 

So the Shia Death Cult will kill anyone, especially themselves. With nuclear bombs of course they will try to destroy Paris… 

Last, not least: this is a World war, in its early stages. Fighting Iran is fighting Putin, while pretending not to. Fortunately, this time France and Britain are not fighting alone while the USA pretends to have better things to do (as in WW1 and WW2). 

Yes, don’t believe the propaganda of Shia and Putinists: not only is most of the French Navy in the area, but France is actually running out of missiles because it fired so many of them in this war against Iran… A special government meeting was convened to solve the missile crisis. They are specifically running out of MICA air to air missiles…

 

Europeans have been going around like headless chickens looking for their brains, claiming disingenuously that having a nuclear death cult in Iran is none of their business. However an Iranian missile reached Diego Garcia, in the middle of the Indian Ocean… where the missile was destroyed by a US ship. 

 

It does not take much imagination, even for mental retards, to substitute London for Diego Garcia, and a nuclear warhead to replace the conventional warhead. Differently from the USA, which has thousands of ballistic missile interceptors at any moment. Wait until the Shia have maneuvering hypersonic high precision nuclear warheads targeting Paris and London… We will use MAD, Mutual Assured Destruction, and the Europeans chuckle because, in their racist blindness, they know nearly nothing about Fundamentalist Shia… 

 

In particular they do not know at all that what the Shia wants to do is to be nuclear bombed!

 

The USA is the world’s greatest producer of hydrocarbons. Europeans decided to stop production (explicit laws forbidding it were passed in France and Britain. Meanwhile the lunatic Germans stopped their perfect nuclear industry and are building 50 (fifty) gas power plants… In the name of ecology (it turned out wind and sun don’t work during those icy foggy winter nights, a great discovery of modern German science… So now Germany is going to buy gas overseas, in the hope of a future deal with the Kremlin…) The USA gets no oil from the Middle East, but profits hugely from high hydrocarbon prices. 

 

Europeans should be most concerned about Middle East hydrocarbon flow…But… Right now the Red Sea traffic has been reestablished, because Trump made the Houthis an offer which they could not refuse. However, that’s delicate and depends upon US carriers looming in the distance. After suffering a fire for 30 hours, the super carrier Gerlad Ford, largest in the world, had to retreat to Crete… Meanwhile Ethiopia has been wondering aloud why, with a population of 140 millions, it can’t get access to the Red Sea anymore after a war, and for just 50 kilometers. Tanks are gathering…

 

All Europeans can say is that colonial rule was bad, and, like the Shia lunatics who accuse themselves of having caused the death of Husayn 1346 years ago, the Europeans accuse themselves, and colonialism, of having caused the post-colonial chaos, not realizing that they were supposedly gone and colonialism dead, when the chaos grew.

 

If the Shia Death Cult gets nukes, so will its natural enemies: all non Shia Arab countries, plus Turkey and thus Azerbaijan, their  natural enemies Armenia and Georgia, plus all Central Asian more or less Muslim and certainly militarily prestigious Central Asian republics… Etc.  

 

Europe has a brain problem.

 

Iran treacherously killed hundreds of US and French soldiers and citizens, inflicting in particular attacks in Paris some of them on the ground of religion, attacking the oldest French religion still practiced today (Judaism). The French president at the time did not want to go to war, thus the author of the bombings, the Iranian theocracy, was obscuri zed. So France and the USA had plenty of reasons to evoke casus belli. So, of course does Israel. 

So, although a war to preempt way way way worse, a nuclear holocaust, it is also a JUST WAR. 

We not only have to eliminate terrorist regimes, especially with nuclear capability, real or potential, but we may as well TRAIN with the Mollahs.

No doubt millions of Iranians share my opinions, hence the excellent work of the Mossad…

Meanwhile, congratulations to Donald Trump for finding the appropriate answer to a young Politically Correct Japanese journalist, who accused Trump of having made a surprise attack, without having consulted… Japan… Resulting in Japan being “confused”. Trump replied with Pearl Harbor:

Trump: “We went in very hard, and we didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. If I go and tell everybody about it, there’s no longer a surprise… Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Right? You believe in surprise, I think, much more so than us”.

Europe should believe in European civilization, much more than the USA or even China. But it doesn’t. When Trump was confronted with the notion of surprise by the impudent, idiotic and historically unaware Japanese journalist, Prime Minister Takaichi, sitting next to Trump could not believe what her compatriot had dared to utter so idiotically. 

She felt that Trump was probably going to retaliate with Pearl Harbor, a surprise attack while Japan and the USA were negotiating to find out under which circumstances California oil would start to flow to Japan again. Pearl Harbor was a real treachery, and inconceivably stupid. Immediately after the surprise attack on Hawai’i, Admiral Yamamoto, who led the Japanese Navy, observed “I am afraid that all we have achieved is to wake up a sleeping giant.”

Yamamoto, who had studied at Harvard, was against making war on the USA, because he knew victory was impossible. However many of his colleagues in the military junta in power were culturally imbued with Bushido, a form of death cult.  :  

Bushido (武士道, “the way of the warrior”) is the ethical code characteristic of Japan’s samurai class. It emphasized virtues like loyalty (忠義 chūgi), honor (名誉 meiyo), courage (勇 yū), benevolence (仁 jin), respect (礼 rei), honesty (誠 makoto), and self-discipline. These drew from influences like Zen Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto. And also from the Feudal structure of Japan, where warlords became everything around 800 CE. Thus “loyalty” was often simply groveling submission to a Lord erected into the ultimate cosmic principle.

Texts like the Hagakure (early 18th century), which is found two feet away in a nice red book, as I write these lines, famously state: “The way of the samurai is found in death.” This meant meditating daily on mortality to achieve mental freedom, transcend fear, and act decisively without any attachment to life.

Seppuku, self disembowelment, was viewed by Bushido Fundamentalists as preferable to a life of shame. An example of shame was supposedly retreating in battle (although that happened plenty). 

In 1931, a rogue Japanese army manipulated by two colonels who had set up a false flag incident, launched the conquest of China. In the next decade the Japanese high command took ever more criminal power in Japan, in complete violation of the Constitution, culminating with the idiotic and self-defeating decision to attack everybody around (the Chinese, the French, the US, the UK, Philippines, Indonesia, South East Asia… In this order…). The rogue junta reengineered Bushido as a death cult to be applied to foreigners…. Killing at least 50 millions of them (most of them Chinese).

What could be the ultimate rationale for this raging Bushido imperial expansion? There was the hope that the Americans would reveal themselves not quite Bushido material… Enabling the Japanese conquest of the entire so-called co-prosperity sphere”. 

However, the Americans were natural Bushido material (no surprise: after all, the Americans had conquered (the better part of) North America). 

But then the fanatical generals reasoned, even if we fail completely and miserably, we will destroy European power in the area, and pose as liberators (something sorely needed after what had happened in Korea)

That approach, of camping Japan as a liberation machine, indeed did work… Meager consolation… However the fanatical Japanese generals had not anticipated that the USA would grab European power, and use it on their own account. 

Thus, in the end, the Bushido fanatics ensured the success of their ultimate enemy, the one identified when the US “Black Ships” had shown up in Tokyo Bay. US Commodore Matthew Perry’s squadron on July 8, 1853 arrived, a terrifying sight, belching black smoke and sailing without sails or wind, with explosive shells. They delivered a “letter” (truly an ultimatum) to end Japan’s isolation (a 220 years Shogun policy). The US got what they wanted, and the US ultimatum was the catalyst for Japan’s forced modernization: it contributed to the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Meiji Restoration (1868), and Japan’s rapid industrialization to avoid colonization… And save its civilizational variant..

The situation with Iran is very similar. However, nowadays, it’s the fate of the planetary civilization which is at stake. But do Europeans still know what their civilization was all about, and that it must be defended? Apparently no.  And no, European civilization was not just Islamo-Judeo-Christian…none of those three instituted the social reforms of the Greco-Romans: they hitched a ride on them.

European civilization had much in common with India (well, civilization was Indo-European and the bridge was… Iran…), but also European civilization had much in common with the greatest civilization of Asia: it was like them, only much more so… For the good and simple reason that the Great European Steppe provided a freeway from Hungary to Korea

In the past the most idealistic of our  predecessors wanted a world government. The European colonial empires provided a sort of partial world government… Until German and Italian craziness blew it all up. Now a world government is a must, not a choice, as I argued with DAD.

The DAD approach has to proceed from the worst regimes to the less bad. As is done in Venezuela apparently, so far, successfully. In Russia, the best approach, obviously that of Trump, is to flip the government: doing as in Venezuela, but with a nuclear superpower. 

In Iran, a flip is also imaginable: after all, there is an army, and the Revolutionary Guard is the equivalent of the SS in Nazi Germany. But there the SS had just 12 years, whereas in Iran the Revolutionary Guard had 47 years… In any case, the Death Cult itself has to be completely defanged and domesticated: our home, domus, is Earth and there is no space for Death Cults. By the way, the Romans hunted the Druids for centuries: the Druids hid in the forests and mountain redoubts, they had sympathizers… But they, and their death cult, were, ultimately, hunted down and eradicated by the Roman army. The same Roman army could eradicate the Christians: although also to some extent a death cult, Christianism was also many other things, not just keen to see martyrs die, and this is why it could not be eliminated..

Europe’s medium term survival is not compatible with the rule of a Death Cult bristling with nukes in Teheran. If Europe cannot figure that, what can it figure? Is Europe itself becoming a Death Cult, unwilling to ensure its own survival, presiding over its own death, thus explaining that sympathy incited France to harbor Ayatollah Khomeini

Covered with their own guilty blood, seemingly accusing themselves to have caused the death of Husayn, more than 13 centuries ago. Can we trust those maniacs to accuse us of crimes we never committed to? Most probably! If confronted that way, Shia will often pretend that “guilty” aspect is collective/regretful sorrow for the broader community’s historical failure to aid Imam Husayn ibn Ali, his family and a tiny group of followers—not individual culpability today. But the line is thin, the fact is, they punish themselves, and a sub-ideology in the Qur’an recommends lying to defend the Faith…

(Matam, latmiya for chest-beating, zanjir-zani for chain-beating on the back, or tatbir for striking the head with blades/swords: it’s a whole semantics out there for the name of the bloody rose, Shia style…)

Self-flagellation is an expression of remorse and guilt for not having saved Imam Hussein more than 1345 years ago. Yes, more than 13 centuries ago, Husayn, grandson of the Prophet was killed in the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE..The Umayyad caliph Mu’awiya I (r. 661–680) had nominated his son Yazid as his successor. Yazid’s nomination was contested by the sons of a few prominent companions of Muhammad, including Husayn, son of the fourth caliph AliUmayyad caliph Yazid I’s army of at least 4,000 and perhaps as much as 30,000 (from those joining certain victory) confronted at most a few hundred Husayn’s followers. Husayn refused to submit to Yazid. He was submitted to a long and gory death, including many members of his family, down to a son in his lap.

A Note on “Security” for the #FOSS Crew

We need to have a clearer, more grounded conversation about “security” and what it actually means in the context of the #openweb. There is a long history of thinking in #FOSS spaces that security is something we can solve purely technically: better encryption, better protocols, better architectures. But in everyday life and practice, people need to work from a much simpler starting point - We do not trust client–server security. We only meaningfully trust what can be verified through […]

The Tech “Empiricism” Problem – #OMN (Open Media Network)

A Note to #FOSS Maintainers and Funders: The Problem With #Mainstreaming

There is a point that often gets misunderstood in conversations about the future of the #openweb and #FOSS that #mainstreaming itself is not inherently good or bad. What matters is who is influencing whom. We can think of it in two very different directions. Good #mainstreaming is when the values of the #openweb move outward into the wider world: Transparency, decentralization, cooperation, shared infrastructure and community governance. In this case, mainstream society learns from the […]
