Yesterday, Trump told us "He's been talking with Top Iranian leaders and we're very close to ending the war". When Iranians were asked they denied talks were even happening.

Who do we believe? The corrupt leader of radical-religious faction of pathological liars who are murdering thousands of people?

Port Arthur was a beautiful town by the sea on the coast of Texas before oil was discovered in the region. In 1901 oil refinery systems were built to extract kerosene which was sold to the growing American public for use in lanterns, stoves and heaters. Later, methods were developed to extract gasoline from crude and the automobile industry "exploded". Gasoline powered the industrial revolution, gasoline built cities, created suburban life, gasoline powered our military, and gasoline helped the Allies win the World Wars.

But, let's face it. Oil owns us now. Not only are 99.99 percent of us watching our paychecks and savings get sucked up at the pump... the burning of fossil fuels continue at an alarming rate of destroying the protective layers of atmosphere keeping our planet's temperatures sustainable for life...

-- oh, wait, I'm sorry... people don't want to hear the umpteenth lecture about gas destroying our Ozone... I'll stop talking about the man-made eco-war in our skies...

Let's talk about the man-made real-war Trump has brought into our lives. Iran is striking back at the USA with the weapons it possesses; missiles, drones and terrorist acts.

Last Friday Iran fired missiles at Diego Garcia, an island in the Indian Ocean hitting targets located approximately 2,500 miles from it's borders. Targets were US and British airbases. Over the past four weeks Iran has successfully struck oil refineries, military and civilian targets in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba in Israel, plus facilities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. The damage to these high-prominence targets is going to strangle the world. It has begun.

Yesterday, what appears to be a "precision terminal guided impact" resulted in a detonation in the contiguous United States. Now, I have to say to be fair staff management at the Valero refinery immediately reported the massive explosion to be "a heater fire". But, with the level of misinformation being fed to the public that would be consistent with the Trump regime's modus operandi.

Trump has consistently lied about pretty much everything this past decade.

If it walks like an attack, smells like an attack... it's probably an ATTACK!

If so, Iran is responding to Trump's continuing to wreak vengeance upon Earth. (So far, Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba, Canada luckily chose not to... but there's about 175 other countries Trump might threaten.)

I hope I'm wrong. A "heater fire" will result in just higher costs for gasoline. That's a tragedy for our bank accounts... a successful ballistic attack could be the start of mass-destruction worldwide.

Seven billion people must hope the acts of a mad-man don't unfold.
