On the Iranian front, the most interesting item over the transom today are new reports vindicating something many analysts have proposed since the beginning of the conflict. Namely, that US’s naval problems in the theater all stemmed from Iran’s deliberate strategy of wiping out US bases in the region, resulting in the extremely inefficient lengthening of US supply chain logistics for war:

The piece asserts that the US Navy’s problems began immediately after Iran’s opening salvo of the war, which saw the Navy’s top regional logistics hub in Bahrain go up in smoke from Iranian missiles and drones:

The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln’s supply problems began soon after the first day of the war, as Iranian missiles and attack drones fell on a Navy base in Bahrain.

The Iranian attack, retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli assault on Tehran, destroyed much of the base. And as it went up in smoke, so did a major logistics hub that the Navy has relied on for decades.

The Navy needed a Plan B to continue feeding the sailors working around the clock to keep warplanes flying strike missions, and later to maintain a blockade of Iran’s ports.

Israeli outlets had previously covered the fact that the Pentagon allegedly launched a ‘secret’ operation to essentially retreat strategic assets from within immediate range of Iranian strikes toward “protected rear hubs”, which stretched an aging and sclerotic US military to the brink.

This system is not simply about the survival of our race, but the elevation and eternal drive to ascend and advance our people to a higher state of being and existence.

White Europeans possess an inherent, natural drive to constantly innovate, improve and develop. Our people have achieved the near impossible and the unfathomable in the past. White excellence has provided the world with countless innovations and inventions. This system codifies this genetic trait of our people into political doctrine.

Everything that we do on this earth and contribute is for those that come after us – the coming man. This philosophy of advancing both society and our blood in an upwards direction is integral to Folk and to healthy societies. Each generation of our people should build on the achievements on the one that came before it and advance our people and nation. Stagnation or decline is unacceptable.

Under liberalism, we have witnessed each generation after Baby Boomers descending downwards, to lesser education, lesser aptitude and ability, and to crushing economic difficulties and hardships. This is the opposite of building a society for the coming man, instead choosing to enrich one generation at the expense of all others.

We must demand eternal ascent. The coming man must be stronger than us now, more capable, more creative and more wise. It is our
responsibility to create him. We should each engage in Becoming … more than we are.

Roth Note: Now tell me what’s wrong with this.

This is the final exercise. Conclusions will follow.

I am starting to delete comments that make people look stupid or try to incite responses for a personal agenda. Use facts and logic to make a comment. Stop wasting our readers time with unfounded speculation.

The family is the building block of the nation. It is the smallest, most natural unit of our people. It is the cradle where the race is born, nurtured, and passed on.

Every individual genius of our race, every leader, every creator, artist, every strong man or woman who advances our folk, emerges from the family. The nuclear family is where blood is carried on, values are instilled, and where loyalty to the collective is first learned.

A strong family produces strong children. Strong children grow to build a strong nation. A weak or broken family weakens the entire racial
community. This system affirms the family as the foundation of everything. It honours motherhood as the highest calling, bearing and raising healthy White children. It protects the family from degeneracy, from economic pressures that delay or prevent children, and from ideologies that undermine the natural roles of man and woman.

Marxism and Liberalism seek to weaken and destroy the family, as a means of subversion to break the racial bonds that we have as a collective, and allow exploitation of our people.

The state, as servant of the race, has a duty to support and enable families with policies that make marriage, children, and home ownership possible for our people. It’s been said, “The family is the nucleus of the nation.”

A nation which neglects its families, decays from its core. With each family, lies the future of our race.

Likely a real/valid photograph, not AI-generated.Visual inspection of the image (the same one shared by Trita Parsi and then by

@HormuzLetter) shows strong indicators of authenticity:

• Natural details: Consistent rivets, panel seams, paint wear/scratches, hydraulic elements, and a tire at the bottom. Lighting, shadows, and the clear blue sky match a real outdoor shot on a flight line or ramp.
• Dust writing: The graffiti is messy, uneven, finger-traced in accumulated dust/sand, with varying pressure, smudges, and overlapping marks. This matches real dust writing far better than typical AI text (which often looks too uniform, “font-like,” or has melting/warping artifacts). Phrases match those transcribed (“BiBi’s bucks,” “be a Good goy and do what Israel tells you to!!!,” “Operation Epstein Fury,” “Peace Deal #64 Incoming…. ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND,” “I LOVE ISRAEL I AM A GOOD GOYIM,” “IY Flock Cameras,” etc.).
• Aircraft context: It appears to be a trailing-edge flap or similar control surface on a large military aircraft (gray paint scheme consistent with US assets). Dust/sand buildup on aircraft in the Persian Gulf is well-documented from past operations due to frequent dust storms.

Trita Parsi (a known analyst) posted it earlier the same day stating it “was sent to me from the field,” along with a quoted comment from a serviceman about low morale. The image has no obvious generative-AI tells (distorted anatomy, inconsistent physics, gibberish text, unnatural smoothness, etc.). No reverse-image matches to older stock photos or prior AI examples have surfaced in searches, and the post is only hours old (16 Aug 2026), so no major fact-checks yet exist calling it synthetic.

I will be upfront: Trump is a fool for allowing Israel to force us to attack Iran. Our military knew what would happen and did nothing to prevent this tragedy.

How do I know? This:

In the summer of 2002, the United States military conducted what was then the largest and most expensive war game in its history. Millennium Challenge 2002, as it was officially designated, cost approximately $250 million and involved 13,500 participants across multiple locations. The exercise was designed to validate revolutionary concepts about network-centric warfare and demonstrate that American technological superiority would prevail against any conceivable adversary. What happened instead sent shockwaves through the Pentagon’s corridors and raised questions that defense planners are still grappling with more than two decades later.

I took one of Sam Culper’s first classes at one of Brock’s PATCONs. It was like drinking water from a fire hose. After a long day outside, I raised my hand and asked Sam the following at 4:10 PM:

“Everything that you have said today comes from the US military point of view and operations. I don’t want to fight other countries, I want to learn how to defeat the US military when they come for us”

Sam was quiet for a few seconds and I wondered if he was going to chastise me. Instead, he said “low tech”. The rest of the class was very informative.

… that this is true. But …

This meme will never get old: Trump hiding in a food cart based on an Israeli tip.

Iran is correct. Let Trump stay in office and he will destroy America.

Economic autarky is the deliberate policy of national self-sufficiency and economic independence. It means the Folk community produces the food, energy, raw materials, and manufactured goods essential to its survival and advancement, whilst minimizing or ideally eliminating dependence on foreign trade and international finance/globalism.

This system affirms autarky as a fundamental element of racial sovereignty. The economy exists only to serve the people, never to enrich rootless capitalists or make us vulnerable to foreign powers. Autarky ensures our people cannot be starved, sanctioned, or blackmailed into submission. It protects the race from the chains of international usury, and speculation that harm our nation. By subordinating production to our people, we build national resilience, align with natural law (strong races sustain themselves entirely), and prepare for any future struggle.

Liberal capitalism is the opposite; it worships interdependence and globalism. Open borders flood us with cheap labour, foreign debt enslaves generations, and imports leave us at the mercy of hostile suppliers. The result is a nation reduced to an economic zone, weak and exploitable.

Autarky is not always the “easiest” option, but it is essential, it demands discipline, innovation, and sometimes sacrifice. It is the only path to true independence. A race that controls its own production controls its destiny. It’s been said, “There is only one interest and that is the interest of the nation, and only one single view, which is that we must be brought politically and economically into a state of self-sufficiency… In short, I consider it necessary that a 100 per cent self-sufficiency should be attained in all those spheres where it is feasible”

This system rejects dependence on any outsiders and demands selfsufficiency so our people can ascend forever, free from the international system’s grip.

Roth Note: Now tell me what’s wrong with this.

We have spoken how the leader is a servant of the Folk, and guides the
race to eternal ascendance and prosperity. In the same principle, the
state (government) itself is also a servant to the Folk.

Under this system, the state is not the master of the people. It exists for one purpose only: to protect, preserve, and advance the living racial community that it governs and leads. The state is the organized instrument of the will of the people. Guided by the leadership principle, authority flows downwards, while responsibility flows upwards. The state is responsible for furthering our people. Every decision, every law, every action is considered through the same binary: does this serve our blood, strengthen our folk, and secure our eternal future, or does it harm the Folk?

The state defends our borders against invasion. It safeguards our blood through policies that promote healthy families and community. It directs the economy toward self-sufficiency and removes the possibility of exploitation by foreign capital. Most importantly, the state crushes any force, foreign or domestic, that seeks to fracture our unity.

This system rejects the liberal state, which treats the nation as a borderless marketplace open to all, allowing aliens to flood in and rootless capital to drain our strength and resources. Under this system, the state is both the defender, and advancer of our people.

It’s been said, “The state is a means to an end. Its end lies in the preservation and advancement of a community of physically and psychically homogeneous living beings. This preservation itself is the ultimate goal.”

The state serves the Folk and its advancement and preservation.
Nothing else, or it has no right to exist.

Roth Note: Now tell me what’s wrong with this.

We are facing many issues and a majority have a large impact on our lives. I would like to tell you the issues get easier if you analyze them and prepare. The limiting factor is our ability to be negative instead of allowing ourselves to open up and accept to a new paradigm.

The foundation for our future is based in faith. For those who read the last sentence and ask which faith, you made my point.

So far the U.S. has lost all phases of its war on Iran.

The U.S. is thus resorting to economic pressure. Its trying to uphold a sea blockade against Iran. And yesterday Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a new economic war campaign:

“Watch this space for more announcements coming next week because we are going to apply measures like have never been seen in the history of economic isolation on a country,” Bessent said Thursday in an interview with Newsmax.

Bessent said the move will be part of a “one-two punch” that includes the continued blockade of Iran’s ports.

The Secretary did not explain how the new campaign would differ from Trump’s failed 2018 campaign of “maximum pressure“. Trump had renewed that campaign in February 2025 without it showing any result.

Iran has announced that it is new strategy is to go offensive:

An adviser and aide to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei says the Leader’s strategy for Iran to shift the war to an offensive phase if its conditions are not met will “undoubtedly change the equations of power in the world.”

Mohammad Mokhber made the remarks in a post on his personal page on Thursday, linking the strategy to developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and the failure of the United States to protect its allies in the Persian Gulf.

“The definite strategy of the Leader to make the war offensive if Iran’s conditions are not fulfilled will undoubtedly change the equations of power in the world,” Mokhber wrote.

Its options to do so?

It could finally start to directly attack those U.S. ships which try to blockade the country. It could launch drones against any place in the Middle East that houses U.S. military. There are also many U.S. companies which operate in the Gulf countries.

A containment strategy assumes that Iran, or any of its friends and allies, will not hit back or take aggressive counter measures. It also presumes that the U.S. can sustain a lack of hydrocarbon for a longer time than its experts think.

But whatever the U.S. may think or do, Iran is unlikely to be afraid of it.
