OVER THERE: Netanyahu, Missiles, and the Magic of June 12



What are the odds?

And how many times are we going to pretend not to notice the pattern?

On June 12, 2025, the very day Israeli missiles struck Iran—kicking off a new narrative escalation in an already saturated storyline—Bibi Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister of course, narrowly survived a parliamentary vote that would’ve dissolved his fragile coalition.

According to this Semafor article from June 12—and consistent with the Trump-related threads we’ve been producing in this digital space—Netanyahu is a survivor, but one under pressure: “Rifts are also growing with US President Donald Trump, who reportedly demanded an end to Israel’s operation in Gaza this week, a move Netanyahu is unwilling to make.”

Here is the timeline, at least in the way of the narrative being presented to the public, of the latest chapter in the Israel-Iran saga:

For Bibi, a near-political death.

For Iran and the world watching, a military surprise despite Trump’s demands that Israel hold off on any attack.

Also for the world watching, a convenient, well-timed attack nonetheless, not only a kinetic strike, but a narrative one—perfectly timed for the storyline.

I have been exploring the narrative aspect of this all week specifically, for months now in a more universal way. The recording listed third is a summation of the articles, which have more detail, and provides key videos of both Netanyahu and Trump:

Missiles That Miss, Stories That Stick, and Questions That Linger

Double Meanings, Double Agents: The Israel-Iran Question

Missiles That Miss, and Narratives That Hit — Some Recorded Thoughts

Tucker v Levin: Yet Another Cage Match (June 12, hours before the attack)

That last one might not seem like it belongs in a discussion of missiles and prime ministers—but make no mistake, it absolutely does. It is the narrative war you want to pay attention to, not just the seemingly organic bickering between talkers like Tucker and Levin–but also miraculously timely interactions like the one between Tucker and Steve Bannon, Tucker and Ted Cruz, this week.

Have you watched those?

Did you know Trump and Bannon had lunch yesterday?

Does anyone think that conversation didn’t include coordination on narrative deployments?

Do you believe at face value what Trump said about Tucker being a kook?

Have you seen what Matt Gaetz has to say? How does that relate to the search I’ve been inviting you to online?

Are we supposed to believe this is all coincidence–and that we should evaluate this Israel-Iran situation according to what the Mockingbird media talking heads–including the conservative controlled opposition–are telling us?

Or are we finally recognizing the pattern?

For more nuance, see Scott McKay’s article “Basic Thoughts on Iran,” and maybe even one of mine that goes back to right after the October 7 event in 2023–“To the American Government: Get Out of Israel’s Way,” which was intended to shine light on things that have since become more and more apparent to a growing number of Americans.

Back to Bibi…

Let’s remember: Netanyahu has been on the ropes, both politically and narratively on a worldwide scale. There seems to be an increasing pincer forming on him and all of his moves on the geopolitical stage. This is why it is important to be able to sift through Trump’s seemingly contradictory narrative deployments in the media. If I’m right, he’s doing two things at once, both seeming at odds with each other.

Since October 7, Netanyahu has lost international favor, faced growing unrest inside Israel, and watched his grip on the Knesset weaken by the month. The very week a vote to collapse his government loomed, his war rhetoric sharpened (let’s not forget the Gaza/Trump narrative thread), the Iran assassination attempt on Trump claim reappeared, and—boom—missiles flew.

And so did the calls to America to support the attack.

And so did the cascade of agreement from many a government official and conservative talking head we’ve allowed ourselves to trust.

Because they’re on TV telling us what to think.

Bibi survived. Again.

It’s almost as if conflict equals control.

Is that too cynical? Too conspiratorial? Or is it just…history?

Americans might recall that Bush II’s approval rating was tanking before 9/11. Remember his rousing State of the Union address afterwards? Or how support for the Iraq War resurged every time “WMDs” were mentioned, even after it became clear they didn’t exist?

Or the Patriot Act?

I fell for it all, hook line and sinker–something else I confess to and explore in that “Get Out of Israel’s Way” article linked above.

There is nothing more freeing than admitting you were wrong about something.

This whole political–and more importantly narrative–pattern isn’t new. The script has been running for decades. Crisis buys time. War resets the board.

And Netanyahu knows the script better than most.

This week I showed Bibi’s repeated claims about Iran’s imminent nuclear breakout. Like clockwork. Since the 1990s. He’s cried wolf more than the boy who cried wolf. And yet somehow—each time—it works. Because each time the American public forgets.

Just like we’ve either forgotten—or never dared to look—at what the JFK files say about Dimona.

Have you done that search and study I keep bringing up yet?

Then go watch the timing of that Matt Gaetz video again. Coincidence, or coordination?

If I’m right, we’re watching double agents play double games—on a stage flooded with double meanings–and yes, that includes Trump. Trump praises Iran one moment, blames them the next. But are you really thinking about the exact words he uses? Have you really paid attention to his mastery of the double entendre?

Netanyahu cries for help, then defies the very president he’s supposedly aligned with. Who’s calling the shots? Who’s really “the supreme leader” Trump alluded to this week? Must that only mean “Supreme Leader” in a proper noun sense in relation to Iran, or can it mean supreme in something much deeper, much darker?

Is it even a person—or an apparatus?

Doesn’t everyone know now that a deep state exists? Didn’t 2020 and its aftermath finally get everyone to stop chuckling “conspiracy theory” on that?

Well, what does deep mean?

And why do we forget everything we’ve come so far in learning just when we need it most?

The media won’t ask these questions. They can’t. Too many careers depend on scripts being followed, not questioned.

But I can ask the questions because hardly anyone reads my work. But those who do must ask those questions. Especially when the coincidences pile up like this.

A prime minister about to fall survives by the slimmest margin.

An old narrative about Iran’s evil resurfaces.

(Not to mention those Trump assassination attempts, MAGA)

A new military strike unfolds.

And now the headlines shift: from Bibi’s weakness to Bibi’s boldness. From collapsing power to “resolute leadership.”

Are we really watching diplomacy and defense…or just the next act in a well-rehearsed drama?

Is this about Iran…or about keeping Bibi in office?

What does “Iran” even mean? Is it a people? A regime? A symbol? A distraction?

And would the same apply to “Israel”?

What about the “United States of America”?

Concocted binaries are the calling card of the Saul Alinsky model. And Alinsky knew it because the magic has worked on humans since time immemorial.

Just look at what the Pharisees are constantly trying to do to Jesus–get him trapped in a false binary, a concocted choice of two, where neither side is really the good guy.

That’s something else I wrote on in October 2023.

Jesus Christ never fell for it–because he was the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

Maybe—just maybe—all of this is about keeping us in the Dark. Because if we ever started connecting these dots on our own, or better yet with the Light of Christ’s mind, we might stop playing the part they’ve assigned us in this long-running global show.

And we might actually start responding as Jesus responded.

When they say with such vigor and comical repetition that we absolutely need to be looking here, just like we did all those other times they told us to, it’s a good guess that the answer is somewhere outside of cave, in the direction of stage left in the theater, Over There.


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.
