Damaged Collaterally,
It seems that a Regime Change Operation in Iran is underway, not only a decapitation of the top 4 leadership levels in one bunker on Friday morning in Tehran.
Human intelligence, spies and traitors in the employ of Mossad and CIA revealed the meeting, and may even have helped arrange it.
Ali Khamenei was not moving secretly, and at 86 years of age he was reportedly accepting of martyrdom, feeling that it would help the cause. What the Iranian military arranged was a devolution of military command to lower level generals, going by written orders, in case they were isolated from communications, or upper leadership was killed. They immediately began carrying out strikes on all countries that helped the US and Israel, including Saudi Arabia, which Chinese satellite photos unmasked as supporting US strategic military aircraft, not being "neutral" as they had declared. With effective decapitation, and Iranian counterstrikes in the area, regional powers are largely aligning against Iran right now.
If new Iranian leadership aligns more with US/Israel, and less with China, it may well be supported by the US and to some grudging degree by Israel. It might try to take a less-aligned path like that of India. Trump could declare victory, but would demand a say in the distribution of Iranian oil, similar to what he now enjoys with Venezuela, after that coup.
This stands to reduce Chinese regional influence in the Mideast, and make oil supplies more uncertain for China. If effective this is a huge blocking move to China.
Russia may be much more comfortable. Oil prices will rise, and Russia is the most self-sufficient national economy.
The world is beginning the global downturn of real economy, which is typically much more rapid than the gradual building of that economy over the last 3 centuries.
War is how power-elites manage the rest of us humans in that situation. We will be heavily targeted in our homes and towns, I think.
I'd love to be wrong.
Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia have been drawn into this war, and the UK is now joining the "winning" side, with France and Germany also interested in bombing-Iran, now that it is going so well. This may go on for a long time, and will involve much of the world, directly and indirectly.
Simplicius, before it was known that Iranian Generals were on autopilot orders: IRGC Promises Historic Devastation After Khamenei Confirmed Killed by Israeli-US Strikes
(Did Iranian traitors arrange this?) The main reason for the “odd” daytime attack is reported to be due to the rare opportunity of an Iranian leadership gathering which was taking place...US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers on Tuesday that Israel was going to attack Iran "with or without" the US so the question was when, not if, the US would get involved...
..Also from Israeli sources:There is a clear division of labor with US & Israel:
US is targeting nuclear and military infrastructure. Israel is targeting top regime leaders and missiles...
..NYT’s David Sanger makes an interesting point that the Iranian “war of choice” was chosen by Trump not because Iran was becoming ‘dangerously’ strong, but rather precisely the opposite reason: that Iran was at its historic weakest point politically, and was judged to be vulnerable enough to be ‘finished off’—a kind of crime of opportunity...
..Recall that Israel views this as their last chance before Trump is muffled for good by the midterm bloodbath likely to ensue. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/all-hell-set-to-break-loose-irgcCaitlin Johnstone, US Calls Iranian Retaliatory Strikes "Unprovoked", And Other Notes https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/us-calls-iranian-retaliatory-strikes

Satellite imagery from Airbus shows Khamenei’s compound levelled - seven missiles hit the residence, killing his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson alongside him...
..But why did Khamenei choose this? The IRGC commander-in-chief’s statement was striking - “Khamenei often expressed his eagerness for martyrdom, and achieved his wish at the hands of the most wretched”. I mean, the man was 86. He reportedly insisted on continuing his life normally without sheltering in bunkers.

U.S. diplomacy with Iran has now for the second time in less than a year been used only as a cover and a side-show while a vicious act of aggression against Iran was being planned. U.S. diplomacy is an exercise in treachery, nothing more. This truth was widely discussed on Russian state television on the leading news and commentary shows in the past few weeks... but it is not at all clear that Vladimir Putin is ready to take the measures that the latest developments in Iran point to, namely: to break off all negotiations with Witkoff-Kushner and the Ukrainians; bomb the hell out of Kiev right now to put an end to Ukraine’s war-making potential...

Chinese satellites provided Tehran with real-time intelligence on American force deployments, including detection of F-35A, F-15E, A-10C, and THAAD system arrivals at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.
And the desperation runs in both directions. At the SCO summit, Pezeshkian begged Xi to treat Iran as “a friendly and determined ally.” Beijing is obliging, because the collapse of the Islamic Republic under American pressure would sever China’s corridors.
No comparable opportunity to inflict this kind of strategic damage on Chinese positioning has presented itself since the end of the Cold War.
It bears repeating: the Iran question was never about Iran. Remove the Islamic Republic from the equation and China loses its pawns for a Taiwan contingency. Leave it in place and the Middle East remains what Beijing designed it to be: a second front that Washington can never afford to leave and can never afford to stay in. Trump's strikes are the first move by an American president who appears to understand that the road to the Pacific runs through Tehran. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-question-all-about-china

Andrew Korybko, The US Military Campaign Against Iran Is Part Of Trump’s Grand Strategy Against China
Trump 2.0 “decided to gradually deprive China of access to markets and resources, ideally through a series of trade deals, in order to imbue the US with the indirect leverage required to peacefully derail China’s superpower rise.”
To elaborate, “The US’ trade deals with the EU and India could ultimately result in them curtailing China’s access to their markets under pain of punitive tariffs if they refuse. In parallel, the US’ special operation in Venezuela, pressure on Iran, and simultaneous attempts to subordinate Nigeria and other leading energy producers could curtail China’s access to the resources required for fueling its superpower rise.” The resource dimension that’s relevant to Iran is a major part of the US’ “Strategy of Denial”...

..Trump promised the IRGC in his video announcing his country’s military campaign against Iran that they’d have immunity if they laid down their arms. This reinforces the abovementioned claim that the US wants to replicate the Venezuelan model since it strongly suggests that he envisages newly US-aligned IRGC running Iran in the political interim before new elections just like the newly US-aligned Venezuelan security services run their own country during their own current political interim.
Such a scenario would avert Iran’s possible “Balkanization”, thus preserving the state so that it can then resume its prior role as one of the US’ top regional allies, which might then aid the Azeri-Turkish Axis’ efforts to project Western influence along Russia’s entire southern periphery. In that event, the US would simultaneously obtain unparalleled resource leverage over China via proxy control of Iran’s oil and gas industries while tightening its encirclement of Russia, which would deal a powerful blow to multipolarity. https://korybko.substack.com/p/the-us-military-campaign-against

Could this be how Trump is controlled by Israel? Rep. Ted Lieu Spreads Bizarre Conspiracy In Congressional Hearing
The bizarre account claimed the driver picked up Trump and overheard him on the phone with someone called “Jeffrey” and made references to “abusing some girl.” The driver said that he wanted to pull over and “hurt him”.
Driver Dan Ferree has self-identified as the source referenced by Lieu... Ferree told the FBI that he met a young girl who told him she had been raped by Trump and Epstein at a “fancy hotel.” He claimed that the young girl was later found with her head “blown off.” He said that, while the officers at the scene thought it was murder, the coroner later ruled it a suicide. There was no proof of such a case. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rep-ted-lieu-spreads-bizarre-conspiracy-congressional-hearing
Gaius Baltar, THE EPSTEIN CIVILIZATION AND THE ELITE WAR – PART 1 - FACTIONS AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
The core of the Epstein system, and the culture it breeds, appears to be ‘inverse morality.’ Inversion systems always target ‘sanctity’ of some kind or sanctity in general. Sanctity refers to anything seen by society as sacred or holy – something which cannot be violated. Examples would be objects such as a cross or a pentagram turned upside-down to signify evil. Great many things have sanctity in most societies. This includes children, who are seen as inviolable; human life, freedom, dignity, the institution of marriage, the family, the home, churches and temples, certain customs, national heroes and religious figures; beauty in all its forms, such as in architecture, art and such; and so on.
There are two main motivations for inversion. One is narcissistic deconstruction, often associated with neoliberal politics. The motivation behind it is simply to destroy the old so the new can be controlled. Every old or traditional system or structure, physical or otherwise, may signify power to a narcissist – power he doesn’t have. It must therefore be destroyed to make way for new structures controlled by the narcissists. https://gaiusbaltar.substack.com/p/the-epstein-civilization-and-the Thanks Eleni, Epstein, Yermak, and Zelensky by Thierry Meyssan
While Epstein may have seemed to enjoy committing his crimes, we must not forget that he worked for a secret service, Mossad. The horrors he committed were primarily a means of blackmailing his friends. Although, for the moment, no Ukrainian figure has been directly implicated, numerous elements compel us to investigate who, in Ukraine, supplied children to the Epstein network.....Besides protecting the reputation of those prosecuted for corruption until their final conviction, this bill lowers the age of marriage to 14. Let’s be clear about what this means: consequently, any prosecution for child abduction or rape of children aged 14 to 18 will become impossible under other Ukrainian laws. The Ukrainian press refers to this as "state-sponsored pedophilia" ... Do you know of any state in the world, today or in the past, that has lowered the age of marriage retroactively? No, of course not....
..The Ukrainian government accuses Russia of having abducted 900,000 children. Moscow, which disputes this figure, argues that it did not capture them, but rather collected them from the battlefield and brought them to Russia to protect them from the war. To date, Ukraine has only released a list of 339 children whose names the Zelensky administration is demanding. Where are the thousands of others?
The answer lies somewhere in the still-secret 6 million pages of the Epstein case. Hunter Biden’s medical experiments on Ukrainian soldiers outraged you; the Zelensky clique’s abductions of Ukrainian children will make you sick.
Speaking before the Verkhovna Rada on February 11, MK Inna Sovsun declared: "The standard that the members of the Law Commission are trying to pass, regarding marriage with 14-year-olds, is pure barbarity. It contradicts common sense and European standards." https://www.voltairenet.org/article223714.html#nh2

At the center of the panel was Fiona Goddard—a victim of grooming who spoke with calm precision.
She described how the police betrayed her trust after she came forward with her story, only to discover that information she had shared in confidence had been passed back to members of the grooming gang. That institutional betrayal placed her at renewed risk and compounded the original abuse. She also recounted something even more disturbing. The men who groomed her told her explicitly that they targeted her because she was white and that their aim was to destroy white girls. The starkness of her testimony stripped away any remaining illusions about the ideological framing that has often surrounded these crimes.
Listening to Fiona, what struck me was not only the brutality of what she endured, but the nature of the state’s response. Fiona explained that her claims were subjected to extraordinary scrutiny. She was examined by ten attorneys, her credibility tested repeatedly before her story was taken seriously. This stood in sharp contrast to the cultural climate of the #MeToo era, when allegations of harassment were often treated as self-validating. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/anarcho-tyranny-uk-grooming-gangs-scandal

Climate Physicist, Anastassia Makarieva and Friends: Sharing Land With Trees - An essay on global climatic implications of forest-human coexistence
Several hundred million years ago, when the young terrestrial life was about to colonize land, it faced two serious challenges unheard of in the ocean. One was the shortage of water, which, under gravity, tends to leave land for the ocean. Another was the flammability of life’s stuff in the oxygen atmosphere. Exposed to such vagaries, prone to desiccation and burning, it looked like terrestrial life stood few chances to ever become as mighty and prominent as her primordial oceanic kin. Fortunately for all inhabiting land today, the laws of nature provided life with an opportunity of solving both problems at one fell swoop. Water quenches fire. If life could evolve a mechanism to keep land wet, this would simultaneously minimize the probability of ecosystems burning alive. But how then could life bring moisture inland? https://bioticregulation.substack.com/p/sharing-land-with-trees
