'I Almost Cried' – Lindsey Graham's Joy at the Start of the Iran War

July 28, 2026 — Batches of previously unreleased documentary footage give a behind-the-scenes look at the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's work to maneuver the United States into military conflicts on behalf of Israel, and the sheer joy he exuded when President Trump finally brought Graham's long-held dreams of an all-out war on Iran to fruition.

The video comes from British documentary filmmaker Alex Holder, whom Graham had granted close, ongoing access from 2023 up until Graham's sudden death on July 11. Holder plans to release a documentary called "Lindsey's Game" later this year, but he's just released several samples from his hundreds of hours of footage. They fully cement Graham's reputation as a man who constantly pushed for war and found unparalleled joy in bringing destruction to foreign peoples.

That latter dimension of Graham's twisted personality can be vividly seen and heard in footage of Graham in his Senate office in late February. He and his staff are watching Trump, on Fox News, bragging that "virtually everything [the Iranians] have has been knocked out."

Positively exuberant that massive US-Israeli attacks on Iran had just begun, Graham laughs aloud with joy, then gushes to the documentary crew and his own staffers, "Look what we've done here. I almost cried. I mean, like, how long have we been pushing this?" Holder replies, "you've been pushing this for years." Graham laughs again and — sounding just a child on Christmas morning — says with dewy-eyed disbelief, "Right . . . it's here!"

Graham says Trump is enjoying the war too. "I talked to Trump this morning — he's jacked. He said, 'best thing I have ever done.' He loves blowing stuff up." We'd be remiss if we didn't remind readers that one of the first things Trump and the US Navy had already blown up in Graham's giddy early hours of the war was an elementary school in southern Iran. More than 150 civilians were killed at the Minab school, most of them girls between age 7 and 12 . . . Full story: zerohedge.com

If This Isn't Treason, What Is?

July 27, 2026 — A newly revealed internal memo from the final days of the Biden administration exposes a calculated scheme to grant de facto amnesty to more than 3 million foreign nationals through Temporary Protected Status expansions, explicitly designed to block President Trump from carrying out the mass deportations the American people voted for.

Comment: This year, the Deep State will be going to war with the Trump Administration to hold onto the voter fraud that has won them elections for many years. Without voter fraud, Deep State Democrats lose and lose big in the midterms. They are fighting every way they can to keep the cheating going.

The Trump Administration is threatening fines and jail time if the Dems in Blue States refuse to cooperate to secure elections. It is so bad that Harvard PhD and political expert Dr. Jerome Corsi says President Trump must "Stop Voter Fraud or Lose the Republic. The fight is going to get much more intense and violent before the midterm elections in November . . .

Israeli Siblings facing Jail Time for IDF Refusal may qualify as Refugees

July 27, 2026 — An Administrative Review Tribunal found the three adult siblings held genuine conscientious objections to military service related to the war in Gaza and could face prison sentences of up to two years for refusing conscription. The tribunal found that punishment for refusing military service could amount to persecution and concluded Australia was obligated under the Refugee Convention to reconsider the family's protection visa application, The Guardian reported.

Why is America Deploying 'Dark Eagle' Missile Systems around China?

July 25, 2026 — US Army conducting its first deployment of the troubled "Dark Eagle" missile system at an undisclosed location in the Western Pacific, a step intended to significantly boost its ability to strike targets in China. While American officials have not publicly identified the precise deployment location, the exercise was conducted across Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau and nearby areas. This indicates that large parts of Eastern China (both the coastline and key inland sites) fall within the system's estimated range, including major People's Liberation Army (PLA) bases and critical infrastructure that supports China's export-oriented economy and rapid technological progress. The United States failed to complete a single successful integrated flight test so far. The self-reported success came after additional testing stretched well into 2026, when the US Army was prepared to declare that "the system had achieved a limited operational capability". However, the system's introduction pace remains painfully slow, with no plans for mass production on the horizon. Only a small number of launchers and missiles are actually available for battlefield deployment . . .

Thus, the American strike system is designed to hit heavily defended and time-sensitive targets deep within contested areas, including command centers, air defense networks, missile batteries, naval installations and major logistics hubs. However, the "Dark Eagle's" capabilities are highly questionable, particularly in comparison to China's hypersonic weapons. Namely, the Asian giant has progressed more quickly and comprehensively in this domain. The PLA introduced the DF-17 missile, equipped with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), years before "Dark Eagle" was anywhere near its limited deployment. In addition, the DF-17 has long been in mass production, meaning it's available in substantial numbers.

Germany, Nuclear Power within EU Military Industrial Complex. Threatening Russia?

July 24, 2026 — France and Germany Joined Hands at the geopolitical level re. Nuclear Warfare against Russia The War Theater . . . It is worth noting that in April 2026: "MBDA announced that it was assisting the Ukrainian company Fire Point in developing missiles." Established in mid-2022 Fire Point (with the support of MBDA) had been involved in developing: "high-performance unmanned aerial systems" . . .

"In late 2024, Fire Point unveiled its FP-1 series of long-range "deep-strike" drones, capable of reaching targets up to 1,600 km away [inside Russia]. . . .

In 2025, Fire Point unveiled the FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missile, weighing 6,000 kg with a warhead of 1,150 kg and a maximum range of 3,000 km", [Within the territory of the Russian Federation].

The announcement of assistance to Fire Point by MBDA opens up a Pandora's box? It points to MBDA's support of Ukraine's long range deep strike drones and cruise missiles directed against the Russian Federation . . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Will Trump be the First American Caesar?

July 24, 2026 — Normally, it would be reprehensible for the US government to sacrifice the lives of American military men and women in order to advance Israel's agenda of Greater Israel. Why are Americans dying, paying conquests for Israel's agenda of Israeli rule from "the Nile to Pakistan?" Israeli-owned Trump pretends that the war he is forcing Americans to fight for Israel's territorial expansion is being fought to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon. This is a blatant lie, just like the one Colin Powell told the UN about Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction."

Iran signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and has not enriched uranium to the level that could be used for nuclear weapons. All investigatory agencies attest to this fact. Trump's assertion that he is protecting Americans from "weapons of mass destruction" is identical to the lies the George W. Bush regime told when Secretary of State Colin Powell was sent to the UN to lie through his teeth about Saddam Hussein's non-existent "weapons of mass destruction." As the lie worked on dumbshit Americans before, Trump and his Zionist allies assume it will work a second time. Trump might be correct that Americans never learn from being repeatedly bamboozled. Americans fall for whatever is made to sound patriotic.

As best as I can tell from "journalists" who never learned how to write, the US House of Representatives voted 214-208 in favor of a War Powers Act Resolution to cease military action in Iran. This required some Republican help, such as Republican Representative Thomas Massie, who thinks the American people are more important than Trump's service to Israel . . . You can see why Israel spent $32 million to remove Massie from Congress.

Initially the US Senate passed the War Powers resolution to halt Trump's war against Iran, but the Republican supporters reversed it when Israel's man–Donald Trump–confronted them. In the re-vote, the US Senate rejected the resolution to end the illegal and unjustified war 47-49.

The War Powers Act of 1973 was the US Congress' last attempt to restrain the US executive branch from overriding the US Constitution, which requires a declaration of war by Congress before going to war. The executive branch had eased America into a war in Vietnam without Congressional approval. That Congress did not impeach and remove the president, who had voided his oath of office by his unconstitutional war, was the first sign that America, like the Roman Republic, was transitioning into a Caesarship. It was (Jewish) Democrat Lyndon Johnson . . . So now we have (Jewish) Caesar Trump, unconstrained by Congress, the Judiciary, and the people, at war with Iran in the service of Israel. This is the behavior of a Caesar, not the behavior of a US president as defined by the US Constitution who is sworn into office by his oath to protect the US Constitution. Trump protects Israel. Israel is not America. Trump does not protect America.

There is no attempt to impeach Trump, and there are no complaints from law faculties, from bar associations, presstitutes, organized interest groups, university presidents, corporate leaders, Christian denominations. Just complaints from a few of us whose voices won't be heard above the noise of "Iranian Nukes." Full story: paulcraigroberts.org

Germany and France to conduct First Joint Nuclear Drills. 'Strategic Coordination' Directed against Russia?

July 21, 2026 — It's quite clear that the European Union is far behind Russia in strategic weapons, both in terms of raw power (around 20:1) and delivery systems (Moscow's missile tech is decades ahead). Still, Brussels is determined to initiate an arms race. Unprecedented changes in European security architecture are unfolding, particularly in the second half of the year. Namely, Germany decided to send troops to participate in French nuclear forces exercises, a development that's being sold as "another routine step in European defense integration." In reality, it marks a significant milestone in the militarization of the European continent under an openly Russophobic agenda. Berlin's participation in French nuclear drills is not about vague notions of "European security," but about sharpening the nuclear sword pointed squarely at Russia's western borders.

Framed as a historic leap in Franco–German strategic coordination, the move is also a clear signal that the EU's two leading powers are no longer content with relying solely on American nuclear power. Instead, they are building their own layered deterrent – conventional, missile and nuclear – under the pretext of "reducing dependence on Washington DC". . . Full story: globalresearch.ca

Australia an 'Embarrassed Vassal Power'?

July 21, 2026 — A prickly reminder that Australia remains an embarrassed vassal of power, annexed to the security interests of another state basking in imperial and fast diminishing splendour. Pine Gap, known more technically as the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap (JDFPG), is a largely US-operated effort in Alice Springs, Central Australia. As the late scholar of strategic studies Desmond Ball pithily remarked in 1988, it is "an espionage operation. Euphemisms should not be allowed to obscure this essential point." It grew out of a desire on the part of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in 1965 to establish a remote Australian-sited ground control station intended for signals intelligence satellites . . . Trevor Paglen would describe it as a "blank space on the map . . . erased from the public record."

The facility staffs some 800 personnel from the US National Security Agency (NSA), CIA, the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and such Australian agencies as the Australian Signals Directorate and Australian Federal Police. Over the years, the base has become increasingly corporatized with a heavy American accent: Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics, IBM and Hewlett Packard . . . "trends in signals technology no longer make the base "irreplaceable". The advent of extensive encryption means that satellite download feeds can be protected "almost anywhere. The remoteness that once hid the site from view no longer hides much at all." The establishment seeks to bankrupt the Australian treasury to the princely sum of AU$368 billion over promised nuclear-powered AUKUS submarines that may never arrive. Full story: globalresearch.ca

Ex-Royal Marine exposes Israeli killings at Gaza Aid Sites

April 22, 2026 — Former Royal Marines Commando , a private security contractor who managed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites, has blown the whistle on Israeli war crimes at Gaza aid sites, in his first ever sit down interview. Dave showed Declassified previously unseen videos he filmed while working for the controversial GHF. The videos show a 'sick' Red Light, Green Light system, which he says was devised by the Israelis to create a frenzy among the aid seekers.

He also took eye witness statements regarding the killing of a 12-year-old Palestinian boy by Israeli forces at the GHF site in September 2025. The boy was shot by an Israeli sniper in the shoulder and was left untreated for more than 30 minutes. 'You don't survive that,' Dave told us. However, GHF didn't investigate the killing themselves nor follow up with Dave about his report of the killing. Full story: youtube.com

Earth

Dear Brethren,

It is later than people think: (Gk.) 'chronos' time ended in 1963 (Revelation 10:6). Don't miss (Gk.) 'kairos' or opportunity time. "Jesus, having made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself: that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might gather together in One all things in Christ, things in the heavens and upon the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of He who works all things after the counsel of His will: to the end that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ" (Ephesians 1:9-12).

There were seven Church Ages in the Gentile dispensation, the Seventh or Laodicean Church Age ended in March, 1963 when Christ returned — not Jesus the Man: His feet will not touch earth until the consummation when together the saints of all Ages He will "tread down the nuclear ashes of the wicked for one thousand years of peace" (Malachi 4:1-3). He returned in WORD Form through the lips of His prophet, William Branham (1909 – 1965), the Elijah of Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11 and Revelation 10:7 . . . "In the beginning was the WORD" (John 1:1-15).

Denominational and independent churches being apostate impersonate the Word of dispensations whose ministry is fulfilled and cannot bring you new birth today. Those Members of the Body fulfilled the Word for their dispensation when as Son of God, Christ was a Mediator interceding for ignorance of the fullness of God's Word. Now that which was in part is done away we have the fullness of the Word and as Son of Man, Christ is JUDGE. He is only seeking His end-time Bride. After the close of the Gentile dispensation He will take us Home and send two prophets, Moses and Elijah to call an election from Jacob's bloodline (Jeremiah 30:7). You will know when the Gentile dispensation ends because it will be marked by an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude since man was upon the earth. Los Angeles and a 1,500 X 300 – 400 mile segment of earth will sink beneath the Pacific along with many mountains and islands. Arizona will become the US West coast, and in two hours I expect tsunamis will devastate Australia's the east coast.

Romans 8:29, "Those whom God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son." That He might be the firstborn among many brethren."

II Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore one who is in Christ is a new creation: old things have passed away; new Life has come." As you become more like Jesus, His love will become visible through your life. "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:35).

Christlikeness also calls you to serve others. Jesus showed that true greatness is not found in position, recognition, or power but in serving. He said, "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). When you become like Christ, your life moves from focusing only on yourself to becoming a blessing and encouragement to others. A Christlike disciple is also a person of obedience. Jesus lived in complete surrender to the Father and prayed, "Not My will, but Yours be done" (Luke 22:42). He also said, "If you love Me, keep My commands" (John 14:15). Your love for Jesus is demonstrated through your willingness to follow His ways, even when obedience requires sacrifice.

As you become Christlike, God gives you His heart for people. Jesus saw people's struggles, pain, and spiritual needs with compassion. Matthew 9:36 says, "He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." God wants to use you as an instrument of His love, hope, healing, and restoration to those around you. Your transformation is not for yourself alone; it is meant to impact the lives of others. Jesus invested His Life into His disciples, and they continued His mission after Him. Paul said, "Follow My example, as I follow the example of Christ" (I Corinthians 11:1). When your life reflects Jesus, you become a witness that encourages others to follow Him.

Jesus has called you not only to grow spiritually but also to help others grow. He commanded, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). A Christlike disciple does not keep the Gospel only for him or herself but shares Christ's love, teaches others, and helps raise other disciples who can impact more lives.

The early disciples changed the world because people recognized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 says, "They took note that these men had been with Jesus." When Christ is formed in you, your family, church, workplace, community, and generation can experience the influence of God through your life.

Those who are genuinely born-again by "the present Truth" are in the "rapture." Every saint in Christ's end-time Bride was caught up after Laodicea apostatized in Revelation 4.

Now let's start at the beginning. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus instructed the disciples, "To teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." I expect most of you came from an Anglican background, which rose in the Sardis Church Age, 1520 – 1750.

Is this so? Did you have a clear understanding of "the present Truth" (II Peter 1:12)? Did you repent of your transgressions? No, you were baptized as a babe in arms in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? Like christening this is the fraudulent process of binding you to a religious organization from cradle to grave.

Now I ask you what is "the Name of the Father?"

What is "the Name of the Son?"

What is "the Name of the Holy Ghost."

Now let us take the Word back to two or three witnesses of the Bible. Jesus and His disciples were in agreement with the Word by faith which is a clear understanding.

Luke 24:47, "Jesus said that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem".

Our denomination skipped repentance, remission of sins, and God's Name.

On the Day of Pentecost Israelites gathered to Jerusalem from Roman colonies around the world to obey this compulsory feast. When Peter ministered they understood that they had crucified their near Kinsman Redeemer. Acts 2:37-38, "When they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what must we do to be saved? Peter said, You must repent, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost".

Jesus' Name was neither Father, Son, or Holy Ghost. Father is not a name, it is a title. Son is not another name, it is a title. I am a son, but my name is not Son. Holy Ghost is another office or title not a name. In Luke 24:47 Jesus Himself said that we should be baptized in His Name, which is "Lord Jesus Christ." There is no other baptism for the remission of sins.

Let's return to Matthew 28:18, "Jesus came and spoke to His eleven disciples, saying, ALL power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth." Jesus Christ is not only our Saviour, He is the sole Person of God, and your near Kinsman Redeemer. "He has created all things for His pleasure" (Revelation 4:11; Genesis 1:1 – 2:20; Acts 14:15; Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 1:14-15; Hebrews 2:7). Jesus is the Creator and Sustainer. There is no trinity. Jewry introduced the Babylonian trinity and false baptism in three Titles at the First Nicaea Council in AD325 by a show of hands to destroy Christian faith when the Roman Catholic church organized three centuries after Jesus' death and resurrection. Galatians 2:7, "the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto Paul, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter" who pastored a Church in Jerusalem. He died in about AD65, centuries before the Roman Catholic church organized in AD325 and was never in Rome.

Christ's end-time Bride with the fullness of the Word must come to maturity in the unity of the faith for we are the Capstone and Head of the Body and must be in agreement on the Word. For a long time Brethren have disputed whether Earth is flat, or spherical. A number of precious Brethren have experienced division.

I Peter 2:1-10, "Laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby: if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord He is gracious. And coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected by men, but choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For this is contained in Scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he who believes in Him shall not be disappointed. This precious value, then, is for you who believe: but for those who disbelieve, the stone which the builders rejected, the same became the Capstone, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, for they stumble at the Word, because they are disobedient to the Word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light; for you were once not a people, but are now you are the people of God: you had not received mercy, but now you have receiveded mercy".

July 27, 2026 — Some Brethren imagine the "firmament" is an impregnable transparent solid substance that embraces earth and prevents missiles from entering space. "Firmament" simply means "an expance"— the reservoir for rain and snow which pours through heaven's "opened windows" to admit the atmosphere that surrounds earth and comprises the region in which the sun, moon and stars are seen. Although many such people believe the earth is flat, lasars demonstrate that earth, like the sun and moon, is round.

5. Orbiting Planets move in loops around the Sun because they follow the curved shape of space. Time ticks slower closer to huge objects than it does in deep space, bending starlight passing by a massive sun or galaxy is deflected along warped geometry. More on the background of Curved Spacetime that creates black holes. Ships and aircraft navigate on the shortest distance between two points, by definition a straight line. Norries Nautical Tables or GPS satellite is essential for navigation offshore.

For centuries the sextant was the gold standard for ocean navigation. It works by examining the position of the sun and stars. These change depending on where you are standing on the earth because the earth is a sphere. Were earth flat a sextant would not work. Today, we most commonly use GPS which requires earth to be a sphere; satellites orbit earth in roughly circular orbits, not perfect circles, but an ellipse, and close enough shipmate!

GPS uses very precise time calculations to determine exactly how far the receiver is from the satellite transmitter. This is also a sphere. This sphere intersects the earth in roughly a circular shape. If there was only one satellite, you wouldn't know where you are. Modern GPS receivers will use at least four satellites (the fourth is to sync time) and ideally five to get a very precise location. This would not work if the earth was flat. Because aircraft navigation was derived from naval navigation, it uses similar principals and methods. Before systems like Loran and GPS, celestial navigation was used by aircraft. Transcontinental airliners had sextants protruding from the cockpit.

The standard Great Circle route between Sydney and Santiago: Onboard a Boeing 787 en route from Sydney to Santiago, with the curved horizon of the Pacific Ocean sitting predictably, 3.8° below true horizontal level.

Aviation navigation relies on identifying the shortest path between two points on a three-dimensional sphere, known as a great circle route. If a pilot abandoned spherical geometry and attempted to navigate using a flat Earth model—most commonly represented by an azimuthal equidistant map centered on the North Pole—the results would range from mildly inaccurate to completely catastrophic.

For very short, localized flights, such as a 50-mile hop between two regional airports, flat Earth calculations would actually work fine. Over such minor distances, the curvature of the planet is negligible. Treating the ground as a two-dimensional Cartesian plane introduces errors so small that they are entirely irrelevant to the pilot's heading or fuel requirements.

However, the moment a flight covers significant distances, the geometric distortion of a flat Earth map begins to ruin the math. On a flat model centered on the North Pole, the northern hemisphere retains some spatial accuracy, but the southern hemisphere is massively stretched outward to form the outer edges of the disk. To see how this breaks down, consider a real-world flight from Santiago, Chile, to Sydney, Australia:

Spherical Reality: On a globe, the shortest distance between these two cities is a great circle route across the South Pacific Ocean, dipping far south near Antarctica. The distance is roughly 7,000 miles, taking about 14 hours in a modern airliner.

Flat Earth Math: On a standard flat Earth map, South America and Australia are positioned on opposite ends of the vast outer rim. A straight line connecting them would force the pilot to fly north through the Americas, cross the Arctic center, and then fly south through Asia. The calculated distance would be well over 20,000 miles.

If a pilot trusted the flat Earth math for this route, he would calculate a heading pointing north instead of southwest. They would also attempt to load fuel for a 20,000-mile journey, which vastly exceeds the maximum fuel capacity of any commercial airliner in existence. If they somehow took off on that flat-map heading he would eventually run out of fuel over the Northern Hemisphere, thousands of miles away from their destination.

Ultimately, global aviation is entirely dependent on spherical trigonometry. Flight management systems, GPS constellations, and inertial reference systems all function accurately because engineers mathematically account for the curvature of the planet. Removing that spherical geometry from the cockpit would simply guarantee getting profoundly lost.

There are no "flat earth maps." Paper charts have to be flat because the medium is two-dimensional whereas the surface of the globe is curved in three dimensions. More importantly, there are no flat earth models. A flat paper chart is a two dimensional projection of the three dimensional surface of the globe. The globe itself, is the 'model'. The charted latitude and longitude system, the magnetic flux meridians and WGS84 ellipsoid (World Geodetic System 1984), a globally adopted, mathematically defined surface used to approximate the shape of the Earth for navigation, mapping, and satellite tracking are all factors of the globe model. Because the Earth's rotation creates an equatorial bulge and polar flattening, the model is structured as an oblate spheroid rather than a perfect sphere. It serves as the invisible mathematical foundation that allows technologies like the Global Positioning System (GPS) to agree on coordinate locations anywhere on the planet, and that is what pilots use to flight plan and navigate.
