One thing I did not cover in the show is the Iran – Israel business. This post in the Times of Israel, which steals the content from a paywalled report in the Daily Telegraph, is interesting mostly because it lines up with something I said when this event happened. That is, there may be more going on here than just a typical Israel assassination. The way Iran is responding is what you would expect if they had internal problems that either caused this or were revealed by it.

Now, the Telegraph article is fake in that they do not have any of the sources they claim to have in the story, but that is another reason it is interesting. The most likely source is MI6, followed by the usual suspects slithering around the Kagan cult. The writer is an Afghan who speaks English, so he surely has connections to Western intelligence. Just about everyone in that part of the world with good English skills has got a paycheck from the West at least once.

That does not mean the claims are all false. They could very well be true, or they could be an effort to create a fog of uncertainty. The New York Times had a fake story about a missile attack that was clearly sourced from the Biden White House. The game is to put a bunch of different versions of this in Western media, all with the same subtext. The Iranian regime has serious internal divisions and with the right amount of effort, they can be toppled.

Perhaps the usual suspects are once again plotting regime change in Iran. They have convinced themselves that Iran is a critical ally to Russia, so a regime change in Iran would harm their ancient enemy and maybe bring the Saudis back into line. It sounds crazy, but compared to their prior crazy narratives it is somewhat reasonable. Starting the process while Biden is a lame duck makes a lot of sense.
