11 So, the Apollo I mission was faked? Because everyone involved seemed completely convinced that Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee burned to death in the capsule during a launch rehearsal.

We also apparently "faked" the Apollo XIII mission, which never made it to the moon. We were damned lucky to get that crew back to Earth alive.

Hands off our social security and medicare/medicaid.

Work out bilateral agreements for those bases that we do need, and dismantle or abandon the rest. Europe has Muzzy fever and it doesn't look good for them to cure it.

18 Why are we sending astronauts into space before we have a complete bio-dome created by AI and robotics on the moon for sustained human habitation?

Is training AI to create deep fakes of AOC's tits and big juicy booty of a higher priority than establishing a space station on the moon? Can we not multitask?

20 I have seen arguments from the Woke Right that if the Ayatollahs really intended to destroy "all Jews", "all Infidels", etc. they would have already murdered members of minority religions in their own population (rather than murdering protesters?)

I wonder if Charlie Kirk would have been considered a member of the "woke right" were he still alive, considering he was against removing the Ayatollahs and against war in Iran in general.

28 One thing I've noticed among the younger idiots declaring that we faked the moon landings; they would never, ever suggest that the Soviets didn't put up the first satellite, the first man in space, or the first woman in space.

Nope. No Soviet achievements are ever questioned. The doubt is singularly reserved for one of mankind's highest technological achievements, and that is because that accomplishment can be attributed directly to Americans.

That's why we need a bit of modern colonialism. Either working with other or just by declaration, establish a few small, strategic territories, held by massive military bases. Personally, I think Gibraltar should be the first, maybe Cyprus later.

Perhaps. I was against those things, but it's happening without my input, so - I know it sounds crazy - I'm rooting for us to win. Same as I would if Biden did this (though I'd be way more scared of losing in that scenario).

I don't know what a dead man would say, but I have to figure he'd take a roughly similar position, since he wasn't a total cheeseball hustler like Carlson, et. al.

I think to be whatever "woke right" means you have to be screaming that America will lose, and deserves to because they are controlled by Jews.

Mossadegh ran his own leftist coup before he was deposed. "His government came under scrutiny for ending the 1952 election before rural votes could be fully counted.[7] According to historian Ervand Abrahamian: "Realizing that the opposition would take the vast majority of the provincial seats, Mosaddegh stopped the voting as soon as 79 deputies—just enough to form a parliamentary quorum—had been elected." Later he rammed through a law from that Parliament giving him 18 months total of dictatorial power to rule by decree. And usurped the Shah's constitutional power to pick the Minister of War and Military Chief of Staff.

42 I think one of TBE reasons they hate Trump so much is that his policies are those of a sober, competent JFK.

Trump’s election in 2016 was an incredible opportunity for the Democrats to return to their own golden age of JFK and, to a lesser extent, Clinton.

Instead, they chose James Buchanan, Stephen A. Douglas, and 1860.

43 Mossadegh was a Marxist, puppet of the Soviets. There was nothing "Democratic" about him. He was another Hugo Chavez.

Ike ushered in the Uniparty as the GOP accepted the New Deal and spent most of its time and energy on foreign affairs through Gerald Ford. The Great Society finally got pushback but not from the uniparty types of teh GOP represented by Ford, it took Reagan to start to try to roll back the uniparty.

GHWB and GWB reinstalled it as GOP's destiny. Now, Trump is fighting that same battle as Reagan did today with the GOP wing of the Uniparty.

Some people have compared the Obama
Presidential 'Library' to a WW2 German flak tower. But there important differences. For example, the German flak towers were so strongly built that it was found to be too difficult to dismantle them, and they stand to this day; while the Obama tower is so poorly constructed that it is likely to collapse on its own.

49 - "easily disprovable"

I would agree on two of the three.
The 3rd, well, that's just a slang term for geoengineering which has been admitted to. The excuse, to save us from global warming.
Not to mention I see it very often. And why do they start right there and end right over there. Nothing different in the atmospheric conditions to cause that.
Not to mention short, say 2 second, "gaps" that appear at times before continuing on. I've seen that many times too.

Yep. But the interesting thing is to witness exactly how the CIA and British coup was instituted. You see the same tactics today. That is also why I am reading William Colby's autobiography--these techniques now used in the US were well developed in Europe and elsewhere during the Cold War (and the Soviets had their variant as well) to change regimes that they did not like.

Those nasty color revolution techniques are now being employed in the US augmented by the left's study of Russian and Chinese cold war doctrines of overturning national governments.

53 @41 whig-100% correct. Trying to explain that to someone on the “right” is the same as explaining the “big switch” is false to someone on the left.

54 ..and of course the leftists love them some Mossadeh! The Shah replaced Mosaddeh with a different PM, someone who would follow the Constitution, and not try to overthrow the Constitutional order of Iran. Which makes today marxist/green alliance sad.

60 I don't remember where I read it, but there was a pretty interesting write-up on the welfare state that is the US these days.

TL ; DR -- How roughly 80% of the "working able" are dissuaded from entering the workforce through the various welfare programs that supply food, medical care, housing and even a basic monthly income. It's a huge factor in the fraud, and a reason why there's little interest in Congress to eliminate said fraud.

The author thinks it's essentially reparations given to this group to remain dependent on government, which in turn provides government with a side revenue taken from the actual productive people (taxes). And a reason why DOGE, an outfit that exposed the fraud, was the shortest lived government department in American history.

Photographing the surface of Venus is profoundly impressive. I would say the United States throwing our toys out of our crib with the Voyager missions is a greater accomplishment. We went on a grand tour of our solar system, set our sights on exiting it completely, and that technology built in the early 1970's is still broadcasting.

73 Iran was the first big example of a phenomenon that has played out many times in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe:

1.) Communists make common cause with Islamists, because they are common enemies of the West and capitalism.

2.) Communism is an ideology for coddled intellectual materialists, and Islam is a spiritual ideology, and thus inherently much more powerful - so at the nearest feasible moment, they break their bond, and feast on their erstwhile ally.

It happened to the Soviets in Iran and Afghanistan, and it happened to the various Leftist terror orgs in Europe, and now it's happening to the half the European continent.

At this point, the Left ain't coming here for the hunting. I think they have a deep-seated psychological urge to be dominated by Islam.

74 Woke Reich cannot do anything about the current "legacy" organization, but they are working on the outreach and the chapters, trying to reform them into their own little Jugendorganisation.

Posted by: runner

There are some of the US documents released eventually under FOIA. Basically we ran a low rent version by bribes, spending on grants, etc. to intellectuals, spent some money on propaganda against Mossadegh's regime, etc.

Brits, however, were more deeply involved due to the situation regarding the nationalization of their oil assets in Iran (they were broke and this would make them even broker). And they persuaded Ike to send Kermit Roosevelt to Iran to take over the joint operation to oust Mossadegh.

We had the money, the Brits had the contacts, and both were used to get rid of Mossadegh by persuading the Shah at the time to finally dismiss Mossadegh again.

Mossadegh though was a thorough going participant in making things worse and worse by becoming a tyrant himself well before he got ousted.

79 @56 runner-iOperations Ajax(US) and Boots (UK) happened but Mosaddegh was appointed prime minister by the Shah. Prime Minister’s served at his pleasure and he went through ten of over the period of his reign 1941-1979. The US and UK helped facilitate the removal of Mosaddegh after he dissolved the Iranian parliament. He was the “coup”. There would be a better argument of western powers meddling in Iranian affairs with how the Shah came to power in 1941 than what happened in 1953.

80 That is why I find the assertion that Iran “presented no imminent threat” to America so unconvincing. . .

Although the Iranian monarch left Tehran during the operation, he never abdicated. Mossadeq's argument that the Shah's firmans were invalid was disingenuous. The Iranian constitution gave the Shah the right to dismiss the Prime Minister. As soon as Mossadeq refused to obey the Shah's legal order, he was rebelling against constitutional authority. "

I agree. The Soviets also refused to acknowledge any failures in their space programs, ever. They had cosmonauts burn up in re-entry owing to the failure of heat shields, they had capsules flattened on impact owing to the non-deployment of parachutes, and they always reacted with radio silence. America's failures in space were always open for the entire world to witness.

I read 20th century public affairs history as a hobby and a lot of the old supporting documentation has eventually dribbled out.

Sifting through the JFK and RFK recent releases along with other released documents from that time has given me a new appreciation for CIA tactics domestic and foreign.

Essentially I learned, there is NO such thing as a former CIA officer, asset, or informant. Second, they rely on plausible deniability tradecraft where the lowest level 'handler' does not keep contemporary notes (the FBI does something similar with their notes) but gives edited paper reports to their superiors summarizing a situation report from the asset.

Second, the attitude among the intel officers is pretty much us against the world.

Third, given Colby's excellent account of his time in Italy when the US was battling Communists there, Colby describes trying to separate the domestic leftists from the Comintern sponsored evil ones. He spent time cultivating and essentially bribing all kinds of leftists and their papers/comms, despite these were political competitors for the main Christian Democrats. Thus controlled opposition technique.

92 @75 whig- from what I understand Eisenhower thought Kermit Roosevelt was full of shit as it pertained to his conclusion of the “coup”. The CIA was seven years in and needed to justify its existence/funding. So voila! Look what we did! We facilitated a coup!

93 "Has CIA's Role Been Exaggerated? (S) If Mossadeq's growing unpopularity invalidates one criticism of TPAJAX, it strengthens another...some historians argue that Mossadeq's deteriorating political base made it likely he would have fallen without American intervention. In this view, TPAJAX was unnecessary because Iranian domestic politics would have solved the problem itself..."

interesting

94 Thx K.T. Handel's Messiah is perfect for this time of year . Brings a tear to the eye while I lie here in a hospital bed. Thx again

95 "By August 1953, Mossadeq's support was vociferous but increasingly narrow. The Shah's support was latent but deep, and took a crisis�like the news of Tudeh demonstrators pulling down the Shah's statues�to awaken. Khorramabad residents, for example, wildly rejoiced at hearing of the monarch's return and threatened to destroy the homes of Tudeh leaders. Security forces prevented them from doing so. (U) Before dismissing reports like those from Khorramabad as propaganda, it must be remembered that CIA was able to influence directly events only in the capital city, and there only barely. Kermit Roosevelt had neither the money nor the agents to initiate the kinds of demonstrations that took place in Iran's widely separated cities..."

The Iranian constitution gave the Shah the right to dismiss the Prime Minister. As soon as Mossadeq refused to obey the Shah's legal order, he was rebelling against constitutional authority. "

Absolutely true. In the purest form, Mossadegh was usurping the constitutional powers of the Shah and he was relying on control of urban mobs to stay in power. Thus, Mossadegh was trying his own coup before he got legally fired by the Shah as PM.

I think the morale stiffening of the Shah to do what he feared doing was more important than what the CIA accomplished in the streets.

Iran is an interesting country as that Pahlavi shah was instituted, in part with British power, because the older Qajar dynasty Shah was deposed in the 20's over something very similar to Mossadegh's usurpation.

105 Afyer they flipped the prime minister who reinstalled the Shah?

106 runner,
One of the things that historians (writing from the left) keep insisting is that Mossadegh was so popular. I think that the nationalization of the British oil industry was popular (just like Nasser seizing the Suez Canal) but not Mossadegh personally as much. What is untold is the Soviet archives of what the KGB was doing there, they directly subsidized the Tudeh and had networks there in the Northern half from WWII before withdrawal. Similar to what they left in Austria or Greece. What is unclear is how much leftists taht were Mossadegh's base who were not overt communists were subsidized and provoked by Soviet black propaganda.

107 4 or 5 years before 1979 our soldiers were told of a potential war with Iran.

One of the political problems with the Shah Reza Pahlavi was that his father was deposed by the Brits in 1941 for being too pro Not See and Persian oil was absolutely necessary for the Brits to fight. So the Brits, with US acquiescence installed the son as Shah. For whatever reason, the last Shah's tumultuous term in office in his early years probably led to his reliance on SAVAK secret police later. He left to Rome during the peak of the Mossadegh era, had fired but then retracted his firing of Mossadegh as PM, and most likely had little stomach for being in the midst of a civil war.

An interesting sidenote is Averell Harriman who later married Randolph Churchill's first wife, Pamela Digby, was sent to Iran to straighten out its rail system for Lend Lease shipments to the Russians. That is in part how he became the Democrat's senior foreign policy advisor on the Middle East and Russia.

It was both UK and US coaxing that they would support him returning and firing Mossadegh for the final time that probably persuaded him to do it.

115 @106 the SOviets knew the political terrain well. Russian-Persian/Iranian associations go way back. So I would assume they'd be influencing anyone who would serve their purpose.

The cab was empty and no sign of the driver.

So far, the choices are:
1. Illegal driver
2. government false flag operation to get Americans to fear Muslims and support Trump's illegal war
3. People protesting Trump's illegal war

130 There would be a better argument of western powers meddling in Iranian affairs with how the Shah came to power in 1941 than what happened in 1953.
Posted by: JROD

Undoubtedly. And that shah came into office himself via a coup from the older Qajar dynasty. He was PM and used that to oust the decadent Ahmad Shah Qajar. Apparently viewed Ataturk as someone to emulate and he was the one that created the hatred of the mullahs toward the Shahs. The whole 1941 Anglo Soviet invasion and the deposing of the current shah makes for interesting reading that I have really neglected.

The disastrous effects of the Obama Administration (shutting down NASA, bowing to radical Islam, sending billions to Iran) and the Biden Administration (surrendering to the Taliban, sending billions to Iran) will also reverberate through the ages, to the detriment of all civilized peoples.

I think some of the problems lie with CIA and State Department analysts that become 'native'. It is always a risk when you study a country deeply that you essentially forget you are an American and take on the foreign persona. If you hate a country and its peoples, it is difficult for most people to set that aside enough to ever want to study it enough to know how their people think.

There is also a class bias to the issue--most analysts/diplomats only deal with people of their class or higher. Thus our diplomats and analysts rarely deal with the average person in a country on an extended basis and thus are susceptible to assuming that the people they meet or study are the representative of the whole organization.

This too is in part the story of NATO. Our top leaders are feted, go to Potemkin parades, see only the tip of the iceberg. They rarely go below the surface to see NATO countries withered military capabilities and the budding anti Americanism and defeatism due to Islamic infiltration in those societies.

Yes, it was Loral Space and Communications that helped the Chinese get the Long March through Stage III. The rockets were shaking themselves apart. Loral fixed their gyroscopes for them. Clinton sold them all of our nuclear secrets, as well as MIRV technology, enabling them to put ten miniaturized warheads on each ICBM. That is Bill Clinton's true legacy.

Daily Tech News 4 April 2026

Top Story

• Half of planned US datacenter builds have been delayed or canceled. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Unfortunately this does not represent a collapse in the AI industry - not yet, anyway - but a shortage in key electrical distribution components thanks to the ongoing trade war with China, something that will be resolved relatively quickly as other countries gleefully pick China's bones clean. Metaphorically.
  
  
  

Tech News

• High-end OLED gaming monitors from Asus are arriving broken thanks to shoddy environmentally friendly packaging. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  You'll own nothing, and what you do own will arrive broken.
  
  
  
• Arm will power 90% of AI servers based on Arm processors in 2029, says Arm. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  They say "custom processors", but they mean Arm.
  
  
  
• Microsoft is telling business and retail customers alike not to rely on its Copilot AI products for anything that matters. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  But they still want you to keep handing them your money.
  
  
  
• First time as farce, second time also as farce: Don't go looking for Claude Code on GitHub. Not now. You'll just find yourself downloading malware. (Bleeping Computer)
  
  The authentic copies have been taken down by Anthropic leaving only an army of leprous zombie clone corpses.
  
  
  
• But security researchers already got a chance to look at the code and see what Anthropic knows about you from the files you feed to Claude Code. (The Register)
  
  And the answer is, everything.
  
  
  
• PC makers have figured out how to keep making money with the price of key components headed into cislunar orbit: Stop marketing to the filthy poors. (WCCFTech)
  
  If you have computer, treat it like the one remaining intact moa egg. Not like other formerly remaining intact moa egg, which someone took out of its case and dropped.*
  
  * Google and Grok both say no such event happened. I am feeling gaslit right now
  
  
  
• For the rest of us, Google is shipping a $3 USB drive containing a bootable image of ChromeOS that will breathe new life into superannuated Windows hardware. (Liliputing)
  
  Or you could just install any other flavour of Linux. But ChromeOS is good for non-technical users.
  
  
  
• The project at work that has been consuming all my waking hours for the past two months is done, just in time for the Easter long weekend here. I am sleep.

Musical Interlude



Everyone's favourite anticommunist angel is back. The Saga of Tanya the Misunderstood returns this July, after 97 long years away.
