On Monday morning, Scott Bessent signed the 60-day sanctions waiver for Iran's oil & petrochem exports. The USA signed the MOU on Wednesday last week--at the closing dinner France hosted at the Palace of Versailles.
A video of the signing at a candlelit table shows Trump autographing the deal with his signature black Sharpie-style marker with French President Macron and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at his side. Dinner guests applaud his signing, and Trump is seen giving out the markers as mementos — as he often does at White House executive order events. https://nypost.com/2026/06/17/us-news/trump-signs-iran-deal-again-this-time-by-hand-over-palace-dinner-with-macron/
Well well... Iran did not yet pocket 300 billions. But probably american building companies will get the most of it and taxpayers may foot the bill. That was and is always the purpose of von trump whatever operations.
Everyone please start mentioning Russell Vought in your comments. And mention him unceasingly. Don’t just refer to Project 2025. Put a human name and face to it. Much easier to destroy that than a mere idea.
This is in my top ten essays by Jim. Certainly in the realm of nation-states, China is now the dominant power. Would the Thiel-crats seek cooperation with China in bringing their sick vision to fruition?
This insightful quote below is the part we definitely need to focus on...
"Our fight is no longer really with Donald Trump, although we still need to get rid of him. Our fight is with the people who deliberately put him there—to break us down into rubble and sell the pieces to the highest bidder."
I've been convinced for a while now that Trump is, what Trump has always been throughout his entire life with regard to the powerful and far more intelligent people who've used him and exploited his many, many weaknesses........ an unimaginably useful idiot. Epstein, Putin, Bibi, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Elon Musk, and so many others have expertly played him for the chump he has always been.
Meanwhile, his idiocy, dementia, and narcissistic fueled insanity has provided a 24/7/365 constant stream of distraction, perfect for providing cover for the enemies we really need to be focused on who have been conducting their ongoing silent coup with alarming success. The Christofascist zealots with Project 2025 have been plugging away with almost no media attention, and little congressional attention, since he took office. Hell, the pompous neo-Nazi putz, Kevin Roberts, is feeling so emboldened that he was just on C-SPAN bragging about how 1,055 of the 1,913 recommendations in Project 2025 have already been implemented.
Meanwhile, our K-brained technofascist psychopaths and their little DOGEbag crew of sycophants are just as deeply embedded inside our institutions as ever, currently implementing their digital coup and complete capture of our government with even less attention and oversight than that being given to the Heritage foundation's efforts. The whole National Design Studio appears to be their shadow government staging ground that they will soon replace our existing government with when everything is in place. Like the bunker for example.
They all plan on being done before the midterms even get here, and if successful, it may not even matter if Democrats retake Congress. The capture will already be complete...
Unfortunately though, the Democrats up until now have given me no reason to be confident that they can meet the moment. When DOGE was rapidly infiltrating our institutions and assuming full control, a small delegation of Dems marched over to DOL and Dept of Ed to “conduct oversight”. When they arrived and were told they would be refused the right to conduct their constitutionally mandated oversight, instead of ordering Capitol police to break down the goddamn doors, they instead held a little presser outside about how they “were gonna fight to stop this”. A presser that they then used hours later to solicit campaign donations with.
Since then, I can’t recall a single bit of reporting indicating that any of them ever went back and forced their way in to conduct that oversight. DOGE was able to keep chugging along and capturing our data, and neither party appears to have done shit to stop any of it.
Hopefully they’ll suddenly become competent if we return them to power, but history doesn’t fill me with much optimism
Iran will get it's billions the same way E Jean Carroll got her 88.3 million dollars.
And Trump does have a superpower, the insatiable and feckless American consumer,.
It is us, our unfettered consumption and demand for debt that powers the consumption, that is Trump's super power
He uses are demand for things as blackmail, and has he so called "leaders" of the world, debasing themselves as they grovel at his feet.
But you correct in this regard. Trump has proven that the United States, despite it having the largest military in the world, is an out of date, impotent paper tiger, unless it is inflicting Trump's will on smaller, virtually defenseless countries.
Yegads he is a bully, as is his fan base, maggots.
Absolutely Brilliant essay today, Jim. Your closing paragraph is perfect, in that, the biggest word was "IF" we elect an adult. With the help of Corporate Media working with and being owned by Billionaires Monopolies, it's going to be a tough time for the average person to get the information they'll need to make intelligent decisions moving forward. Thank you for this work today, I hope it reaches many, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
So now nobody is afraid of America except Americans because you are the only ones they can punish. Watch what you wish for. You need a plan.

Is anyone else scratching their heads and wondering why Thiel has relocated to Argentina?
Is he running/hiding from something, or just working on The Project 🤔

Great summation of our present conundrum...
Well said but I hope that last paragraph doesn't come to pass.
Yeah, so do I.
