The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated.

The power to declare war has not been taken up by the two houses of Congress, as given in Article I of the U.S. Constitution: instead, the president has launched—by no Article II power—a war of agression against a foreign nation: an illegal war.

The president says that 'he got him before he got me, and he tried twice,' and that now the people of Iran must sieze the moment and rise up to effect regime change for their country and its people.

No such thing will be happening.

The first six Anerican bombs targeted the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound as he was meeting, above-ground, with several of his top advisers.

Iran has been planning for this moment for twenty years. Ali Khamenei issued two fatuas during his reign: one of them was of his argument against developing nuclear weapons capability to use in war: his reasoning was that such a development would wipe out the people, among other cataclysms.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was 86. He had inherited the Islamic Republic of Iran from its founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who died in 1979 after leading a revolution deposing an American-facing monarchy. Ali Khamenei replaced the former government with an Islamist theocracy whose three pillars were Death to America, Death to Israel, and the mandatory covering of women, the hajib, which he called 'the flag of the revolution."

Meeting, above ground at his compound, with several top advisers. That America would strike: they knew would martyr Ali Khamenei and themselves, together. Ali Khamenei had said he had no interest in dying an old man, surrounded by loyalists, in the fight. The Islamic Republic would choose a new cleric, according to Iran's Constitution.

Crowds have been gathering outside in numbers, in Tehran—all over. These crowds are not rising up. There are new martyrs, and one, supreme leader, Ali in his name.

Iran released a thousand bombs the first night. Many were intercepted. Missles of older technology, around $100K apiece. Several American anti-ballistic missles and supporting technology are deployed for each threat. Traveling at 20,000 mph sometimes, these missles are not easy to intercept, especially when there are so many of them, all over the middle east. These anti-ballistic ststems add up to a lot more than $100K to target each flying bomb.

Iran has been stockpiling weapons for twenty years. The United States will run out of munitions in weeks or months.

Iran will win this war.

Israel bombed an elementary school. They targeted it. Children—young girls attending.

Israel bombed another school, too. They like doing such things.

Our president does Netanyahu's bidding.

The regime change is for America. Beginning a while ago, through the start of Netanyahu's terrible war hand in fist with this beautiful nation against the people of Iran and now the Gulf States, and possibly the people of Taiwan if China decides to invade while America is busy—aircraft carriers, fighter jets, battleships, submarines, military technical operations—spread out all over, thinking our money and resources are limitless—and that America is the greatest nation on earth, still.

Select peoples are welcome to our shores—people of color are not.

This will not develop to any great efficiency—the evil that has come to America.

Before the Black Plague moved out of Venice and Genoa, a volcanic eruption thousands of miles away darkened the skies worldwide, enough to affect food production—wheat for bread, for example. In Britain, in the south, from the sea northwards, the Plague had not arrived, yet. What had begun to arrive from the sea were more and more ships, which had taken altered routes according to supply and demand of the famine due to the slight changes in the weather the previous few years that had dramatic effects for crops and feed for livestock and food, in general. Venice and Genoa were directly on major trade routes, and the plague was there now—and ships were traveling througout Europe in new trade routes. In all the little villages and hamlets and communities of Britain, people were hungry. They noticed the changes in the weather. Soon, they couldn't know: hamlet after hamlet, villages: a black cloud moved up from the sea, northwards.

People were gone. Today, we also can't know—but we can know more and different things, and we have a view of history.

I don't think people are doing enough. Death is inevitable, of course.

It matters that what has been developing in the world and here at home will hasten our demise—not all periods of history are like this. In the West, generally, it is every hundred years, or so, that a generation comes upon difficult times.

We came to life, this time, in a period of relative prosperity. War, poverty, famine, disease—suffering—is always present.

But each time has different qualities.

This time has a quality of terrible things suddenly developing—well,

it matters what we can do for the generations immediately following our lives. It matters. We can make their lives better.

It matters. We can do something. We must do something : this is called Free Will.

Well, I'm going to walk to the church soon and vote.
