Of Nukes and Narratives — The Quake Beneath Trump, Tehran, and Tel Aviv
It’s one thing to decry forever wars. It’s another thing to cut the wires on the detonator.
Yesterday’s piece “The America First Quake That Could Stop World War III” is a de-facto prequel to today’s work, and likely will provide a fruitful contextual introduction to help this latest Russian-Iranian hook make more sense.
Of course as always, make the delineation between nation’s governments and the occupied portion warring against humanity inside those governments. “Russia and Iran” means so much more than meets the eye, just as an Obama-US and a Trump-US are two completely different things.
All of that said…
Russia and Iran have signed a long-term cooperation treaty on nuclear energy—an alliance that continues to redraw the lines on the global [peace]board.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law on ratification of the agreement on the comprehensive strategic partnership with Iran.
The document was posted on the official web portal of legal information.
The agreement sets out the legal framework for further development of cooperation between Moscow and Tehran for the long-term perspective. It enshrines the status of Russia and Iran as strategic partners and covers all the spheres, including defense, combating terrorism, energy, finance, transport, industry, agriculture, science, culture and technologies.
The agreement was signed in January 2025 during the visit of President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian to Moscow.
Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized third parties working to nix the deal, asserting that the treaty was being finalized “despite the challenging regional and global landscape and attempts to exert pressure on our nations.”
In recent weeks, US President Donald Trump has threatened military action against Iran unless it agrees to curtail its nuclear activities sufficiently to guarantee that it cannot use them to develop weaponry — an aspiration the Islamic Republic has vehemently denied.
I asked this question yesterday: Didn’t Iran float the idea of a completely nuclear-free Middle East just a couple of weeks ago?
Oh yeah, I found it.
Iran’s proposal for a nuclear-free Middle East is positioned as a bold move towards regional peace and security. By advocating for the complete denuclearization of Israel, Tehran is challenging the longstanding nuclear ambiguity surrounding the Israeli state, which is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, albeit without official acknowledgment. This proposal could potentially alter the power dynamics in the Middle East, where nuclear capabilities are often seen as a deterrent against perceived threats.
Now why wouldn’t Trump say this in his comments?
Because as I have been contending, we are watching narratives play out–perhaps even long after actual deals are finalized. The point is the audience–US. Trump is simply going along with the old narrative of Iran-bad, Israel-good. Otherwise people won’t listen.
He’s done it time and time again. See Greenland. See Canada. See Gaza. See tariffs. See it all. His genius and seeming soothsaying personality are actually what frighten me most about him. It isn’t soothsaying–it’s strategic.
In this regard, he is a sort of trickster archetype, revealing things through organic, mass reaction from Americans and the world–both of the knee-jerk and patient varieties.
And as an aside (not really), those familiar with the JFK files and the Israeli nuclear program already know what’s being whispered through this storyline.
The compromised component of the US government and its allies are still presenting old stereotypes and stories to the masses, boogeyman deceptions that work because they’ve been entrenched for so long. But as Americans wiggle free from the wiles of Mockingbird and its lies, as they begin to realize that “this” Russia is not the same as “that” Russia, they, by extension and common sense, must start seeing the gameboard for what it is: a brand new history lesson. This latest move from Moscow confirms what many of us have been saying for a long time, in so many words: we are not watching just a border dispute here and there.
We are watching a civilizational standoff.
And the players on each side of the lines are likely, and I stress likely, not who Mockingbird has presented them to be.
Take a step back and look at what is happening here, and do it while first setting in your mind the idea most recently illustrated by Trump and his moves—particularly in that Oval Office early last month–that it is actually Ukraine’s Zelenskyy who is the antagonist here.
Now watch the pieces move….
Putin, with his usual blend of cold calculation, national pride, and religious presentation, is now, as one “GhostofBasedPatrickHenry” puts it, “placing himself directly between Netanyahu and Tehran—and he’s daring Bibi to pull the trigger”—the same Bibi the US supposedly supports, the same Bibi that Trump seems to enjoy embarrassing.
Here is Axios on the chill inside the Trump-Netanyah relationship:
Friction point: One particularly prominent opponent of diplomacy with Iran is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Netanyahu’s White House visit last week was tense, particularly when he and Trump discussed Iran, U.S. and Israeli officials say.
- “The president kinda relished sticking it to him on Iran. The same dynamic you saw in public is what happened in private,” one official said, referring to the press conference in which Trump revealed the Iran talks and Netanyahu was visibly uncomfortable.
- “Trump and Bibi see things very differently on the issue of a military strike in Iran,” the official said. Some in the “deal camp” also see Netanyahu’s insistence that Iran must eliminate its entire nuclear program under any deal as unrealistic.
Take a look at those reactions, earlier this month—immediately after the 17% tariff was placed on Israel–to Trump’s public disclosure that he is having direct talks with Iran, and that war—the “obvious” choice—is not optimal. “Obvious” is a key word here, because it is a tell as to Trump’s understanding of the gameboard—he knows Americans, especially conservatives, are expecting Iran to be belligerent enough to the point where war is the only option left:
Bibi’s reactions are very similar to what I presented back in the summer of 2022 concerning a 2019 meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy—which immediately preceded impeachment hoax #1.
It certainly seems to me that Trump ambushes world leaders when he wants to present a story to us–one might even say hi(s)tory. And how is that story best told?
By showing the public their organic reactions and inviting it to have some of its own.
See some earlier work of mine on the Trump-Bibi chill from last summer here, in addition to the one linked above (17%).
Says “Ghost”: “President Trump has already made it clear that this new deal will grant Iran a civil nuclear energy program, though that seems to be a red line that nobody in Israeli politics is prepared to oblige. How many nuclear weapons does Israel illegally possess? That’s not a rhetorical question. It should be answered, before we send any more money to Tel Aviv.”
Translation: Israel has apparently been stockpiling nukes for a long time, and as this story follows on the coat-tails of the JFK files release, it is becoming more and more apparent, once again, that we are being invited to see another story entirely play out.
A story that will evolve into a new history, if I and people like Ghost are right. Look this up on Yandex: jfk israel nuclear weapons dimona
A lot of that can even be found through Google too, believe it or not.
How many nuclear weapons does Israel possess? How many are unacknowledged, unregulated, entirely outside the public ledger of international accountability? That’s not a rhetorical question. It’s the one question nobody in Congress, NATO, or the “rules-based order” wants to answer.
Because to answer it would be to admit some things too many Americans are still not ready for.
And Trump knows this.
Israel’s opaque nuclear posture has long been a sacred cow in American foreign policy circles—untouchable, unmentionable, and heavily subsidized. But if DC can throw endless fits over Iran’s theoretical stockpiles and intentions, while ignoring Israel’s actual nuclear arsenal, not to mention a little something called the Samson Option, then this isn’t about nukes.
It has always been about narrative. Propaganda. A war of stories that hasn’t actually been a war since just recently.
Because the stories were always one sided—and Americans just gobbled them down.
But now, because everyone knows what the media does—including Fox News still!– the narrative is breaking down, and it’s breaking down fast. Ukraine was supposed to be the final consolidation of the Western bloc on the doorstep and in defiance of big bad boogeyman Russia, the grand climax of the unipolar empire Americans simultaneous repelled in theory but cheered for as they bought into the propaganda.
But it all fizzled. The story on Ukraine and Russia has shifted. The unmitigated annihilation of Gaza and so many children has revealed even more cracks. And now, with Russia brokering nuclear ties with Iran, the remaining fig leaves of moral authority are drying up more and more.
Putin has, for a long time now, aligned more closely—whether deliberately or providentially—with Trump’s America First vision than with Netanyahu’s military “adventurism.” It is something else I was following back in February 2024 in the midst of the Tucker Carlson-Putin interview. Note what Putin said about Trump:
It is one reason why many of us saw through the Putin “support” of Harris back in September. The man is entirely too serious to support such a comedy act. He was trolling the same people we didn’t vote for, just like Trump does. And the stockpile of articles I wrote show that even more.

Even one former skeptic, who challenged my framing a year ago—may be seeing the same fault lines. Turns out we had an inspiring exchange last year even in the midst of the skepticism, one that shows what two people can do when one doesn’t hide behind the effeminate laughing emoji or comments having not even read the article:
Incidentally, over a year later now, the same reader with whom I had that fruitful exchange had this to say under my article yesterday–in addition to liking the article itself; it was the first time I’d seen his name pop up since that day last year:
A growing number of Americans are changing, feeling this way. As their understanding of “Russia” evolves, so too does their understanding of other friends and foes. It is difficult, admittedly, because of their understanding of the Old Testament. But even that understanding has been…
Eh, let me not go there with it. Even that understanding has been … strategically reinforced. Let’s leave it there.
Now that the chess pieces are converging in a world that seems so far away, we are continuing to see the prophetic, and frightening, nature of Trump’s words and moves.
The DC uniparty is still playing Cold War karaoke, trying to reheat Reagan’s “evil empire” script, but Zelenskyy’s behavior in the Oval Office and the ridiculous amount of taxpayer dollars that went to an unwinnable war has changed Americans irrevocably. The pro-Israel thing is still solid, but even this iceberg is melting. It’s not as clear and obvious and—right—as it once seemed. The post-WWII world that once clandestinely united neocon hawks and communists—at our financial and spiritual expense–is collapsing under the weight of its own double standards. There are traps being laid everywhere—and the Putin-Trump-Iran-Israel dynamic is only increasing the illustration, tightening the trap.
And in that illustration, in that melting of the ice, something ancient is stirring.
Because the real quake isn’t military—it’s moral. The empire of lies is not just failing to conquer. It’s failing to convince. And when the spell of who actually holds the moral high ground breaks, the entire apparatus of dynastic family control—media, sanctions, surveillance, color revolutions, highway robbery of the American people—starts to look like what it is:
A pagan priesthood financed by powerful families trying to enslave mankind into a Friday tomb of perpetuity.
Into an existence blind of its own resurrection.
This isn’t just about whether Iran should have a peaceful nuclear energy program. It’s about who gets to play God with the nations. It’s about who gets to write the script of good and evil—and whether that script we’ve been programmed to trust has ever included the cross.
Russia’s treaty with Iran isn’t just a diplomatic maneuver. It’s a mirror. And in it, the compromised component of America—the uniparty, the deep state, the propaganda machine–sees its own demons looking back, unmoved, unrepentant, and unable to do anything about the rise of America’s awakening.
The mask is slipping. The quake is deepening. The American people are starting to understand truths that were already placed inside them–by a Creator who knows and anticipates.
The empire of lies was never built on truth—it was built on fear, on myth, on unrelenting repetition. But now the cross is rising where the camera once stood. The Sunday is rising from the blood of their long-standing Friday.
And the old gods can only tremble in the dawn of Truth no longer in the tomb.

May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
