Trump II latest savage whim offered Iran leaders the option of ending their civilization in one of two ways, fast or slow. Fast from the exercise of military might.
Slow from the toxic effects imposed by the private equity underwriter (PEU) ownership and TechGod products that disrupt real relationships and the acquisition/use of actual knowledge.
PEUs are legendary for manipulating government and siphoning large amounts of cash from federal coffers. TechGods awakened to this and are now deeply ensconced on the federal tit.
It's strange to think that a country's civilization can end in a special military operation, specifically "not a war" from the U.S. Department of War (Christian but expressly not Catholic version). The Pentagon is headed by a number of former PEUs and has its own private equity initiative.
The greed and leverage boys ended ethics in business dealings by being of both sides of deals, getting to value their holdings at whatever they wish and withholding the most basic information from investors and regulators. PEU Apollo founder Leon Black funded Jeffrey Epstein in a major way for decades.
TechGods did their part to put children at risk. Meta allowed child sex predators seventeen strikes according to a USA Today piece. Tech founders know the damage their products do and restrict their own children's access.
TechGods gave total loyalty and servitude to Trump II and this unholy alliance drives much of U.S. foreign policy. Take Trump II's Under Secretary for Economic Affairs at the State Department Jacob Helberg. His ethics filing reveals conflicts that cannot be undone.
While TechGods are new to the overt political influence game, they are a quick study, learning from their PEU mentors. Both would love access to Iran's economy and its 92 million people.
Admiral and Carlyle Group Vice Chairman James Stavridis (PEU) told Semafor:
There’s always been a sense that there’s a looming tower of Iran out there and there was a sense of, “we’re going to invest anyway.” I think that tower’s been knocked down. Iran could still do damage, they could use terrorism, they could use cyber, they could continue to close the strait. But their capability is reduced to a point where, as an investor, I continue to be comfortable in getting into the region.
And all of this, I think, ultimately is going to move the Israelis and the Gulf Arab states closer together. Put those two things together, I think the Gulf remains highly investable.
I believe firmly that the people of Iran, in the next two or three years, are going to flip this regime. It’s going to be done internally. You can just feel the discontent. If that happens, the investment opportunities in a post conflict Iran are very high. It’s three times the size of Texas, full of oil and gas, a highly educated population, and a deep sense of history.
Private equity underwriters are not known for their sensing capabilities when it comes to little people. I worked for several PEU affiliates and employee dissatisfaction soared after we were taken over by TPG and another private equity firm. The new operating model ignored poor patient feedback and often could not provide the most basic service, like an answerable telephone system or patient supplies for the home. It also ripped off staff in the area of pay for time worked and reimbursement for miles driven.
PEU sponsors crapified industry after industry. TechGod customer service is a misnomer. They are deep inside federal departments with their garbage in-garbage out LLMs. Employing people is no longer a primary aim.
So Iran, which will it be? Civilization destruction today or a protracted adoption of unethical business practices where insiders take all the spoils?
Trump II the Usurper and his gang of PEUs/TechGods have plans.
Update 4-8-26: Tucker Carlson finally got that Trump has been usurping Christianity as a self appointed global monarch who possesses the only set of magic keys to our earthly kingdom.
Tucker noted the possible use of a nuclear weapon on Iranian civilization, the very people Trump II "intended" to free in his special military conflict. Freeing "from life" is very different than freeing "to live."
Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast numerous times and never mentioned Jesus' name. He stole equity from a large tech company. Trump II bore false witness to the leader of South Africa. Applying Christ's gospels to Trump II for five minutes would create a scroll-length list of incongruences for pastoral coaching. Trump would not tolerate such gross insubordination.
After Carlson's warning, which likely arose from powerful Christian elements within the Red Team, Trump agreed to a two week cease fire.
This morning Trump II noted there is "big money to be made" in the Persian Gulf. We'll see if the "slow loss" of Iranian civilization under the TechGod Age holds or if Trump returns to his prior fast "Stone Age/Civilization Ending" position.
