The Weekly Flail: June 21, 2025

OVERVIEW

As we track Modernity’s collapse in the American Empire’s disintegration, it appears we have reached a new stage of awareness and, counterintuitively, apathy. For some, the reality of a nuclear regional war in Southwest Asia is the greatest direct threat in the last fifty years. For most, it is just another war in America’s endless list of wars.

The level of leadership insanity within the American Empire makes this the most dangerous in our modern history, but even that insanity is normalized. On a social level, the use of misinformation has been replaced by blatant lies or, in the case of Israel, rigid censorship that immediately failed.

At a more superficial level, the Trump regime’s gross incompetence is a study in the chaos of political collapse within the planetary collapse. This has created a narrative based on the threat of nuclear weapons for Iran, which has none and no program to produce them, that justifies Israel, a nuclear power since the 1970s, in attacking Iran.

Israel is now in trouble as Iran is carefully destroying both military installations and public infrastructure. Trump et al, who have only vague ideas of Iran’s location, size, and population, are going to bomb Iran at Netanyahu’s demand. Nothing good will come from this. See below in WAR for more on this.
