Introduction by desmond: On February 28^th the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. The Israelis are not even slightly confused about what they are doing. Bebe Netanyahu has been trying to get the U.S. to directly attack Iran, the last intact Islamic Society of the 7 countries scheduled for destruction in 5 years. U.S. General (and once commander of NATO) Wesley Clark identified these 7 countries mentioned to him, by an old friend working in the Pentagon, shortly after the September 11, 2001 events. His friend told him that the plan was to invade and destroy Iraq (that the U.S. military was getting ready to invade when he spoke with this contact), to be followed by Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and the final target Iran, saved for last. It took longer than 5 years, but all these countries have been attacked by forces, overt or covert, aligned with the Zionists.

In Item 6)., “1 HOUR AGO: ….” Rachel Maddow discusses the growing sentiment for implementing the 25^th Amendment or Impeachment to remove Trump, with some key input by Republicans who are growing more anxious as to what will happen in the midterm elections later this year.
