Covid-19 was a bioweapon

Former US State Secretary Michael Pompeo Admitted that Covid 19 was a US DOD bioweapon in a confidential speech to West Point Academy on June 13, 2020

Below is the second part of a confidential speech delivered by Michael Pompeo at West Point Military Academy on June 13, 2020. In this excerpt, Pompeo explicitly acknowledged that COVID-19 was designed as a bioweapon. The tone, language, and delivery are all consistent with his usual persona—direct, unapologetic, and steeped in intelligence community bravado. It sounds exactly like something Pompeo would say, especially given his past public remarks: “We lied, we cheated, we stole… we had entire training courses.” West Point, after all, trains the future officers of the U.S. military—those who must coordinate seamlessly with the intelligence and political apparatus. If any institution deserves to be briefed on the hidden operations of Pentagon, it is West Point. After all they can't communicate by telepathy. The U.S. has reached a stage where its actions are openly malevolent, yet cloaked behind a propaganda machine that dismisses any non-mainstream account as delusional or conspiratorial. Read the speech, and judge for yourself.

Part II: Internal Speech

Hello officers:

Congratulations again! Now, all the speech will be shrouded in secrecy. "Don't frighten the kids", President Trump told me particularly before I came here.
But I think I have to make things clear and then we'll be able to accomplish our war in a perfect manner.

As a matter of fact, human history has been entwined with wars of multiple types.
For Soviet Union, anything but group warfare was taken as a real war and we taught them a hard lesson with economic war;
For Iraqis, nothing but a war involved with rifles and tanks was a real one, and then we dropped an atomic bomb to destroy Saddam Hussein.
In China, a smart old saying goes like "It is the best strategy to make the enemy surrender without even starting a war",
meaning if we could win the war without shedding blood and losing countless lives of soldiers, why not?

Hence, I convinced President Trump earlier to avoid a military intervention which could bring about great loss even if Chinese government attacks Taiwan.
Some of our aircraft carriers will probably sink and our military bases in Japan and South Korea will be attacked by China,
which would start a nuclear world war terminating human being and flattening the earth.
Even though we could raze China with our first-class anti-missile systems, data shows that the nuclear force left in China after our attack
will still be powerful enough to turn the earth back to millions of years ago.

This means that wars like WWI and WWII will never happen again on this planet,
and we have to choose to take a smart way to destroy our potential enemies including China, Russia, Iran and others, and ensure none of our people will be hurt.

Officers, you now may have an idea of the secret weapon mentioned by President Trump which is never a bomblet but the current coronavirus popular all over the world!
Some of the theories widespread on the Internet are actually true.
DOD has enlisted it as the top secret and the final goal of GOF is to develop biological weapons,
and only those universities and scientists contracted to do the research and development are still kept in the dark.

Pompeo speech continued:

You have to know that the research and development of this biological weapon is much harder than developing an aircraft carrier or making a fighter 35.
It has to work in an environment full of variables and the virus which could attack based on the DNA of different races has to be able to spread widely.
Our ideal attack is a quick death like that caused by Ebola or whose symptoms could pass to the next generation like those caused by AIDS.
We preferred quick death since it seems rather practical, however, virologists offer a distinctive opinion.

...that quick death will counteract the virus transmission.
And DOD made some compromises so as to enhance the transmission of virus and increase the total death toll by lowering the quick death rate.

Then DOD broke down the job in order to legitimate all the parts under the federal law.
More than a few companies and research institutes shared the job and different income:
some are responsible for the natural virus sample collection, some for R&D of research equipment, some for modifying genes,
some for studies on differences of races, some for tests in sentinel labs, some for pharmaceutical R&D, some for handling negative news,
which means the total job is still confidential. Even if someone could make connections, they will be just taken as lunatic without revealing our real plan.

In fact, SARS virus in 20th century was a biological weapon and so was the SARS-II popular these days.
Some dumb scientists didn’t know the virus transmission routes of the virus samples in their hands in the first place,
and unprofessional protection measures caused the leak of the virus.
Government Accountability Office has warned about the problem back in 2014 but no sound procedure has been taken to put a limit on scientists’ behavior.
Do you have any idea how serious the issue was? CIA hold more than 50 labs including viruses, bacteria and radiant have been detected since 2010.

Though the leak of coronavirus was accidental, the result was doing our country a favor.
When coronavirus was studied, it has preset its target including Indian, Chinese, Japanese and Italian whose ACE2 protein in lung is quite high and who therefore easily get infected.
The ACE2 protein of Caucasian and African American is relatively low, leaving them rather safe in front of coronavirus.
As for Italian American like me, we could immunize from SARS-II by getting a vaccination.

Pompeo speech continued:

To acquire resources is the final goal of starting this war mainly from two aspects:

Firstly, resources are limited and shouldn’t be wasted by lower class whose rapid population growth and living standard uplift will lead to environmental deterioration
and negatively influence our access to life improvement.
Historically, wars have been proved to be a direct and efficient method of population control.
We’ve seen the earth population explosion dealt with by death in WWI and WWII.

So, we can do the same thing again. Biological weapons are the tools, which has killed hundreds of thousands of lives from the end of world and will keep killing more,
making the world a better place to live.

Secondly, we are going to deprive resources from our rivals and enemies including mineral and natural resources.
People have to purchase Remdesivir to treat SARS-II or get a vaccination so as to be immune from it.

All these manufacturers are suppliers of DOD, meaning the whole world is sending money to our States. From my perspective, this is a much wiser means to collect resources than violent robbing, indemnity or sales of weapons.

Therefore, the leak has made our life better and made America great again!

Gentlemen, the mission has greatly changed with the advancement of high technology.
Your mission has greatly changed with the advancement of smokeless wars technology.
You have to understand you will be faced with smokeless wars when deployed to different parts of the world.

Maintaining the order of the world, and ensuring America's priority is your mission.

Now, the third world war has begun and far from over with more leaks of virus on going.

GO, AND DEPRIVE THE WORLD, MY KIDS. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Michael Richard [REDACTED]
U.S. Secretary of State

Poster recruiting ethnic Chinese as lab mice — in the U.S.

What exactly is the U.S. doing? Researching population-specific vulnerabilities for a second COVID-style bioweapon?

Where’s the oversight? Where’s the outrage?

They're offering $24,650 — an abnormally high sum for clinical trials.

The deal includes:

Five days, four nights in a hospital.
Fifteen clinical procedures.
Nearly $5,000 per day to use your body.

That doesn’t smell like science.
It smells like something else.

US/Israel have become so evil that such incidents go unnoticed. The evil has become banal.

Research suggests it's Altasciences LA，a contractor for big pharma.

Also there's a video on Douyin stating that Pfizer regularly recruits Chinese volunteers for remunerated clinical trials.

China's Art of War - Civilized Warfare with Chinese Characteristics thanks to the superstar China's reconnaissance ship 815A

China has already won the war at China's doorsteps.

It's not me saying it. It's the US defense secretary.

The statement was made by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a November 2024 interview on The Shawn Ryan Show. He said, “So if our whole power projection platform is aircraft carriers and the ability to project power that way strategically around the globe... And if 15 hypersonic missiles [of China] can take out our 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict, what does that look like?”

In reality, China doesn’t need to fire a single shot. One Type 815A reconnaissance ship is enough to get the job done.

Have you ever found it strange? For over a decade, the United States has been bent on containing and crushing China. Thousands of missiles surround China’s coastline. Military bases encircle it like a noose. And yet—China's coastline and the South China Sea has remained eerily quiet. Not a single shot fired. No major skirmish. Just drills, flybys, and declarations.

So what’s really going on?
The answer is uncomfortable for many: an intense, invisible ghost war has been raging beneath the surface—and China has already won it.

I’ll spell out the details for you.

🧵

China’s Eye in the Sky: A New Era of War Without Warning

1. High-Resolution Satellite Reconnaissance and Real-Time Data Transmission

In 2024, a rocket rose from the plains of Changchun, roaring into the stratosphere. Its cargo? Twelve satellites from the “Jilin-1” constellation—small, civilian on paper, but lethal in capability. Each one carries the world's most advanced commercially available optical payload, boasting a jaw-dropping resolution of 0.2 meters. From 500 kilometers away, they can capture the outline of a U.S. B-2 stealth bomber. Not just the shape—but the tail number painted on its body. Not just the plane—but the exact tilt of a C-130’s spinning propellers parked on the tarmac.

And they don’t just see. They also transmit. A full-length, high-definition film the size of Avatar 2—delivered to Earth in a single second. That’s the power of China’s indigenous satellite-to-ground laser communication system, transmitting at 10Gbps. It bypasses electromagnetic interference, penetrates even 50 meters of seawater, and delivers real-time commands to submarines lurking below the ocean's surface.

Now imagine this: A Dongfeng missile takes flight. The satellite captures the exhaust plume and trajectory in real time. In that very moment, it transmits the data down to a ground control unit. The command center adjusts its flight path mid-course. Target locked. Kill order confirmed. From discovery to destruction, it all happens in one fluid loop—faster than the enemy can even react.

This isn’t theory. It’s already happening.

In 2023, the Jilin-1 satellites tracked and filmed the loading of B-52 strategic bombers on the U.S. airbase in Guam. Not once—but fourteen times. Every payload. Every switch. Each type of munition. Captured frame by frame. The footage didn’t just circulate inside Chinese command centers—it was streamed to the world during a live U.S.-Japan military exercise in the South China Sea. The Pentagon panicked and issued a late-night press release insisting they had not entered Chinese territorial waters. But China had already entered theirs—visually, digitally, tactically.

And still, this was just Level One: watching.

2. Kinetic Anti-Satellite Strikes: Silent but Lethal
Level Two? Hitting.

Back in 2007, China stunned the world by obliterating one of its own weather satellites—Fengyun-1C—using a direct kinetic anti-satellite strike. It wasn’t a blast. It was a high-speed body collision, turning a multi-million dollar satellite into a cloud of orbital debris. That was a warning. Today, it’s a guarantee.

By 2027, China’s third-generation kinetic anti-satellite system—capable of reaching geostationary orbit at 36,000 kilometers—was fully operational. This range includes America’s most precious military satellites: the GPS constellation. A single hit would shatter decades of infrastructure and leave no trace. No explosion. No shrapnel. Just silence. The satellite fails, seemingly on its own. The U.S. military now refers to this system as a "space assassin”—a kill system that leaves no fingerprint.

And it gets worse. Unlike early designs, China’s latest models use zero-debris “covert kill” technology. It doesn’t blow you up—it just turns off your light. A malfunction, they’ll say. But there’s no coming back. It’s warfare by silent unobtrusive deletion, typically civilized warfare with Chinese characteristics.

Still, satellites alone don’t win wars.

You need eyes on the sea.

That’s where the 815A comes in.

Understand Israel's madness - Worse than Jihad

Israel is not a secular democracy. It's a theocracy. Its wars are holy wars—more fanatic than Jihad.

The Three Faces of Likud: A History of Power, Blood, and Religious Fanaticism

It didn’t begin on October 7, 2023. For Palestinians, it was October 7 every day. Every day before that date, before the headlines and outrage against Hamas terrorism, there were Palestinian villages burned, Palestinian children shot at checkpoints, Palestinian homes demolished at dawn, and Palestinian olive groves turned to ash. The violence was constant, routine—just not televised. And if we're speaking of religious fanaticism, there's no ideology today more systematically violent than that of Likud and its settler wing. This is not some half-baked slogans—it's a sophisticated creed of 2000 years. A doctrine that sanctifies the land grab and sacralizes blood. It doesn't just permit killing; it demands it, cloaked in divine entitlement and historical grievance.

Netanyahu is not a dictator—he is a mirror of the Israeli public will. A mirror held up to a large and growing section of Israeli society, particularly the settlers, who are not civilians in any meaningful sense. They are armed, trained, and often more militant than the state itself. The state restrains; they accelerate. Israeli settlers will kill anyone preventing them from land grabs and murdering Palestinians, pointing their guns at the IDF if need be. That's how violent the Israeli civilians are. They are the grassroots enforcers of a fanatic religious ideology against which Islamic fanaticism pales in comparison.

Likud isn't just a party. It's an ideology. It's a mirror—splintered, flashing three different faces:

1. The Likud of Power: Gripped tightly by Benjamin Netanyahu, the man who has come to define Israeli politics.
2. The Folk Likud: Embodied by settler leaders like Daniela Weiss, born of zeal and steel, carving out Israel's destiny on Palestinian land.
3. The Ideological Religious Likud: A fever dream of a Greater Israel, more myth than map, yet still shaping the nation's spine—adhered to by the majority of the Israeli population.

I/ The Likud of Power - A Party of the Bible and the Bullet

The story begins in 1948—the same year Israel declared its independence and fought its first war against Arab armies. That year, Menachem Begin, a former Irgun commander once labeled a terrorist by the British Mandate, founded the Freedom Movement. Begin and his followers had a different vision from Israel's socialist founders. They were driven by a belief in a biblical Israel—one that stretched beyond the 1949 armistice lines, all the way into the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt.

This vision was biblical and ruthless. In their eyes, God had already drawn the borders. All that remained was to fulfill the prophecy.

In 1973, Begin's party merged with several other right-wing factions, forming the Likud alliance. Four years later, in 1977, the unthinkable happened. After nearly three decades of uninterrupted rule by the left-wing Labor Party, Likud won the national election. Israelis called it "the upheaval." It marked the rise of a new class, a new language, a new ideology, a new idea of what Israel should be. Begin became Prime Minister, and with him came a new tone: nationalist, religious, unapologetically hawkish and fanatic.

Begin's Strange Peace

Despite his fiery origins, Begin did something no one expected. In 1978, he sat down with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and U.S. President Jimmy Carter to negotiate what would become the Camp David Accords. This was a landmark peace deal—the first between Israel and an Arab country. It ended three decades of war with Egypt, returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egyptian hands, and laid the groundwork for further Arab-Israeli peace efforts.

But peace came with a paradox. While Begin handed back the Sinai, he ramped up settlement activity in the West Bank, doubling down on the idea that those lands were non-negotiable. The contradiction was glaring: Israel could give land back to Egypt, but never to the Palestinians living under occupation.

The Lebanon War and the Shattered Image

In 1982, as Israel invaded Lebanon under the pretext of driving out the PLO, Ariel Sharon—then Defense Minister—oversaw the siege of Beirut. Israel allied itself with the Christian Phalangist militia, a Lebanese Maronite group bitterly opposed to the Palestinians. After the assassination of Lebanon's president-elect Bachir Gemayel, Sharon allowed the Phalangist fighters to enter the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in West Beirut. What followed was a bloodbath. Over the course of three days, the militias slaughtered between 800 and 3,500 Palestinian civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. Israeli forces surrounded the camps, fired flares to illuminate the night, and sealed the exits to prevent Palestinians from escape — they aided the massacre and did nothing to stop the killings.

An Israeli commission later found Sharon personally responsible for failing to prevent the massacre, forcing him to resign as Defense Minister. But he never expressed remorse, and his political career not only survived—it thrived. Sharon was hailed by Israelis as a national hero. His brutality won the hearts of the Israeli population. For many, Sabra and Shatila became the moment when Israeli policy crossed from occupation into open and active ethnic cleansing.

The Hardening: Shamir to Sharon

In 1986, Yitzhak Shamir took over. A former underground fighter like Begin, Shamir had no illusions about peace. Under his rule, Likud rejected any negotiation with the Palestinians. Talks were considered naïve, even dangerous.

In the mid-1980s, a new political star emerged: Benjamin Netanyahu. Young, media-savvy, and fluent in American political style, he quickly became the face of a modernized Likud—one that appealed to television audiences and foreign donors. Sharon represented the old Likud—rooted in land and steel—while Netanyahu built the new Likud, rooted in media control, ideological clarity, and permanent campaigning. Their rivalry would later fracture the party, as Sharon eventually split off to form Kadima, leaving Netanyahu to lead a more hardline Likud into the future.

Netanyahu's Cunning

Beneath the polished image broadcast across Western media, Netanyahu is no less ruthless. In Israel, to win hearts, a politician must outdo rivals with bloodthirst—proving, time and again, that he is willing to go further than the rest.

A persistent theory alleges that a string of emblematic terrorist attacks—9/11, the Bataclan massacre, the London metro bombings, Charlie Hebdo—were orchestrated with Mossad logistics. The objective? To shape Western public opinion, to fuse the idea of "Muslim" with "terrorist," so that Palestinians—and by extension, the broader Muslim world—could be lumped together as Islamic extremists. Once that association was made, their systematic elimination would no longer spark outrage but approval.

Where his predecessors like Sharon relied on brute force and paid the price for their visible massacres, Netanyahu's specialty lies in cunning—in the orchestration of narratives, the manipulation of perception, and the staging of a series of iconic false flags conveniently blamed on Islamic extremists. Unlike Sharon, who got caught in the act, Netanyahu knows better than to let the blood splatter on camera. He is media-savvy, fluent in the language of Western fear, and deft at turning public opinion in his favor. That makes him even more dangerous.

Charactetistically, Netanyahu has been quietly allowing—even sponsoring—Hamas activities, knowing full well they would provide the perfect pretext for war. By letting Hamas operate, he manufactures the excuse for endless retaliation. Every Israeli strike becomes "self-defense," every atrocity in Gaza repackaged as a justified response. After October 7th, the narrative wrote itself: Israel has the right to defend itself. Under Netanyahu, Likud has entered a new phase—no longer just brutal, but cunning. It is a Likud cloaked in righteous propaganda, fluent in the language of Western media, and armed with the moral alibi of victimhood. Israel's ethnic cleansing becomes anti-terrorism.

Israel: A Nation on Edge, A Strategy Without Exit

Israel in a Nutshell Leading up to June 12

It’s hard to believe that a country as small as Israel has been able to stir the Middle East upside down for over seventy years—fighting from Lebanon all the way to Iran, then swinging back to bomb any surrounding country right and left at will without any resistance. You might think Israel is crazy, yet its strikes are always sharp and calculated, its operations cold and clean—like those of a virtuoso killer. Israel is the most formidable killer of the Middle East.

---

The Begin Doctrine: always no-warning, always first-strike

Someone once said: Israel is like that neighbour who drops down through your ceiling at midnight, blows up your rice cooker, and the next morning says, “Sorry, I thought you were hiding a bomb.” The joke is crude, but the metaphor lands.

Because its neighbours—Syria, Lebanon, Iran, even Egypt and Jordan—haven't always been pushovers. These are nations with standing armies and weapons to spare. And yet, time and again, in this powder keg of a region, they end up flat on their backs, blinking at the sky. Why? Simple. Israel doesn’t rely on landmass or manpower. It survives by striking hard and speaking little. That’s its edge.

To understand Israel’s strength, you need to understand where it comes from. This country wasn’t so much founded as it was fought into existence. In 1948, the moment it declared independence, five neighbouring countries rushed in to crush it. The result? A newborn nation in its crib punched five grown men in the face—and carved out even more land than the UN had given it.

That first war shaped its worldview: only fists can guard a homeland. Since then, Israel has lived by one rule—if you look at me the wrong way, I’ll hit first. It doesn’t wait. It doesn’t warn. When Israel hits, first your airstrike goes, then your nuclear site, then your commanders. If you complain, next comes your capital, reduced to rubbles.

But this ruthlessness isn’t arbitrary —it’s doctrine. Israel’s entire military strategy is built on two pillars: pre-emption and absolute regional military dominance. That means it never waits for you to be ready. While you’re brushing your teeth in the morning, still fumbling with the toothpaste cap, its missiles are already on the way.

This isn’t hyperbole—it’s history. In the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel’s opening airstrike wiped out 90% of Egypt’s air force before they even got off the ground. Arab capitals were left speechless.
🧵

Unapologetic Terrorism as Founding Principle of the Country

And it doesn’t stop at regular warfare. Israel favours terrorist decapitation strikes. In 1988, Mossad agents crossed the sea into Tunisia and assassinated Abu Jihad, the number two in the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization), in front of his family. Inflatable boats slipped ashore under moonlight. A few precise shots, and they were gone.

Is this how a country fights wars? Apparently, yes. Because while Israel operates as a state, it has mastered the tactics of a non-state terrorist group.

In fact, its roots run deep in that tradition. Before independence, the Jewish underground—Haganah, Irgun, Lehi—were experts in bombings and assassinations. After 1948, these same men, ruthless terrorists, became the generals, ministers, and architects of the new nation. Israel may be the only modern state founded on terrorist insurgent tactics—and rather than abandon them, it refined them into official state doctrine.

This instinct to strike first is in the country’s DNA. Before 1948, Jewish paramilitary groups operated as true terrorist organizations:

Haganah, founded in 1920, began as a defense union but soon adopted violent tactics alongside extremist offshoots.

In 1931, Irgun (Etzel) split, led by Revisionist Zionist Ze’ev Jabotinsky and later Menachem Begin. They claimed bombings and assassinations were legitimate tools—targeting Arabs, British, even Jewish moderates.

In 1940, Lehi (the Stern Gang) broke away from Irgun. Under leader Avraham Stern, they even flirted with forming alliances with Nazi Germany—seeing terror as divine mandate.

These groups staged some of the most notorious acts of Zionist terror:

The King David Hotel bombing (1946), killing 91 people

The Deir Yassin massacre (1948), where Irgun and Lehi killed over 100 villagers

The assassination of British officials like Lord Moyne

The murder of UN mediator Bernadotte

Numerous bombings in Haifa, Jerusalem, and across Palestine

These weren’t fringe radicals disgraced and condemned worldwide like Osama Bin Laden—they were future prime ministers and state-builders: Menachem Begin (Irgun → Herut → Likud → PM), Yitzhak Shamir (Lehi → PM). Even David Ben-Gurion, from Haganah, oversaw coordinated terror campaigns that would lead to Palestinian displacement. Terror—not principles or ideals—built this nation.

Warrior State: Civilian Soldiers, Unit 8200 (the New Digital/AI Mossad), and the Military-Industrial Complex

But don’t be fooled into thinking it only knows how to sneak attack. Israel’s real strength isn’t in weapons—it’s in systemized efficiency.

In war, speed is everything. Other countries need months to mobilize. Israel needs three hours. Take the recent flare-up with Iran: Tehran launched hundreds of drones and missiles. Israel intercepted most mid-air, then mobilized 300,000 reservists within days.

That’s not rhetoric—that’s execution.

In the U.S., such a response would need Congress, debate, headlines, protests. In Israel, a single text: “Report for duty.” And people show up. Because in Israel, “citizen-soldier” isn’t a slogan—it’s a societal structure. Men serve three years, women two. After that, you still return to base for annual training until your forties. Behind 170,000 active troops lies a reserve force over 600,000 strong. This is a state permanently at the ready.

And then there’s Unit 8200—the elite cyber force. Teen prodigies are recruited young, trained in data, surveillance, and cyberwarfare. After service, they go on to launch startups, build chips, write algorithms. Some become tech billionaires. Half the world’s leading cybersecurity firms trace their roots to Israeli veterans.

They don’t just fight—they profit.

The Iron Dome system is a case in point. Each Hamas rocket intercepted becomes a marketing video. Washington watches, impressed: “I’ll take one.” Europe queues up. India arrives with open wallets. Is this war—or advertising? Hard to say. But what’s clear is that war fuels Israel’s arms exports.

In 2024, its defense sales hit $14.8 billion, nearly cracking the global top four. For a country this small, it’s becoming the Shein/Temu of military hardware.

That’s why Israel is addicted to war: it’s all benefits and no loss. Each war expands its territory, swells its coffers, and doubles as a global advertisement for its arms industry. One war after another gave rise to a thriving military-industrial complex in Israel. The country has thus embarked upon a self-perpetuating cycle—war feeding war—in a vicious loop of profit and power.

The Knife Within: How Iran’s Secular Elite Enabled the June 12 Strike

Below is a rewrite of a video by 阿冉 on Bilibili/YouTube. I strongly advise Chinese to follow him for indepth knowledge of Iran.

In a single night, Israel executed a brutal decapitation strike on Iran’s nuclear elite. Through billowing smoke, the military suffered one blow after another: Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Salami; Chief of General Staff, Mohammad Bagheri; Deputy Chief, Ali Rashid — all obliterated. Even top nuclear scientists like Dr. Abbas and Dr. Tranchi were taken out in pinpoint assassinations. Iran’s nuclear command was wiped clean. The Mossad's precision was astonishing. Has Iran been so thoroughly infiltrated that it’s become a sieve? Otherwise, how could Israel have obtained such top-secret intelligence?

Has Iran really been riddled with American and Israeli spies? The answer is "Yes". Without a doubt. In fact, "infiltrated like a sieve" doesn't even begin to describe it. Half of Iran might as well be American or Israeli agents.

The Supreme Leader Khamenei’s granddaughter studies in the U.S. Iran’s top officials use iPhones. Their government emails run on Gmail. If Qassem Soleimani wasn’t assassinated, or Hussein wasn't targeted — that would’ve been the real surprise.

But here’s the twist: it wasn’t the Mossad or the CIA that turned Iran into a sieve. It was Iran itself. To be specific — Iran’s secular elite.

What outsiders see as foreign infiltration is, in fact, internal warfare. And the one who planted the seeds of this civil war? None other than the father of the Islamic Republic himself: Ruhollah Khomeini.

Video is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. His family controls a business empire of USD 95 billion.

Khomeini. 1979: The Fracture of Revolution

When the 1979 Islamic Revolution broke out, Khomeini, exiled in France, returned to Tehran in triumph.

But with Khomeini’s rise, Iran was torn in two:
On one side, the clerical theocracy, led by Khomeini.
On the other, the secular elite, represented by the leftist Tudeh Party.

During the revolution, the clergy and the leftists were allies. But once victory was secured, Khomeini launched a brutal purge.
The Tudeh Party was decimated, and Khomeini stood alone at the top.

But in doing so, he made a fatal mistake:
By destroying the left, he left behind only right-wing secularists, many of them pro-American.
Worse still, the ferocity of his purge planted a seed of distrust:
“You can’t trust these clerics. Side with them, and you’re next to be eliminated”.

Thus, the secular camp swung hard to the right.

Even with his iron grip, Khomeini lacked one thing — guns.

Revolutions are not built on divine slogans. Power grows from the barrel of a gun (Mao Zedong).

And Iran’s military at the time? Loyal only to the Shah.

Khomeini could command God, but not the army.

Then, in September 1980, Saddam Hussein gave him the perfect excuse:
The Iran-Iraq War.

Under Iraqi fire, Iran’s military rallied behind the clerics.

Khomeini purged the Shah’s officers and built a new force: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The Shah army's upper leadership was decimated. It was stripped of political power.

The old army was wiped out, and the new one answered only to him.

But the war was catastrophic — over a million dead.
In 1982, Khomeini launched a suicidal “Islamic kamikaze” offensive.

13-year-old boys were handed plastic “keys to paradise” and sent to blow themselves up against Iraqi lines.

Twenty-one thousand children became human bombs.
This was holy war in its most fanatical form.

The video is of Khomeini.

The Rise of the IRGC Business Empire

After the war ended in 1988, Iran launched a new campaign:
the “Shia Crescent” — Hezbollah in 1982, Shia rule in Iraq by 2003, Syria in 2011, the Houthis in 2015.
For over two decades, Soleimani’s Quds Force blazed a path of blood across the region.

While the clergy sacrificed lives in jihad, the secular elite suffered the economic consequences.
But what truly enraged them wasn’t U.S. sanctions. It was this:
The IRGC grew rich and powerful — stealing the secular elite’s wealth.

Iran’s power structure is a battlefield in real time.
I (阿冉）once met a Chinese businessman in Mashhad who traded minerals with the IRGC.
Pointing to a giant poster of Soleimani, he spat:
“These so-called anti-American heroes? They’re a joke. Their houses are piled high with U.S. dollars.
The IRGC isn’t a military. It’s a corporation. And a very greedy one at that.”

He wasn’t exaggerating.
The IRGC runs Iran’s minerals, energy, and foreign trade.
Its oil smuggling network disguises Iranian oil as Iraqi oil, selling it globally through a front company:
Al-Muhandis Group — a conglomerate that also dominates Iraq’s infrastructure.

Even my (阿冉) war correspondent was shocked:
“Baghdad looks like Las Vegas.”
Every skyscraper? IRGC-built.

As that Chinese trader put it:
“Holy warriors my foot. Try religious capitalists. The ‘Axis of Resistance’? It's a business network.”
The IRGC’s empire squeezed Iran’s private sector dry.
Companies linked to it — like Khatam al-Anbiya Construction HQ and the Martyrs' Academy — crushed the competition.
Thirteen of Iran’s top construction firms went bankrupt.

From the secular elite’s perspective:
The IRGC stole our business, destroyed our careers.
Who cares about national unity?
If taking down the IRGC means cooperating with the enemy — so be it.

Today’s assassinations don’t shock Iranians.
They see it as karmic retribution.

The elite in Iran and Iraq live in luxury and opulence. Right video is Baghdad and the left is Tehran.
