A Radical Reset
Our Republic has been converted into a democracy which is just another name for mob rule. The mob is getting what it wants, to paraphrase H.L. Mencken, good and hard. One day soon, the entire edifice is going to collapse under its own weight and what takes its place historically will be tyranny. A Radical Reset is the alternative and the system is called Antipolitism. It calls for a new republic based upon merit and not ambition. No parties, no money in politics, no careers in politics, and only serving the public good.
A Radical Reset
The Death Cult Falls: Predicting Iran's Future After the Strike
As tensions escalate in the Middle East following the U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, we're witnessing not the beginning of another endless war, but a carefully calculated series of moves in a geopolitical chess match. The recent Iranian missile attack on our base in Doha represents not strength but desperation – targeting America's most heavily fortified position in the region with missiles our defense systems were perfectly prepared to intercept.
Let's be clear about what prompted this action: Iran was enriching uranium to 60% – far beyond the 5-10% required for any civilian purpose. This level of refinement serves only one purpose: creating weapons of mass destruction. Despite propaganda suggesting otherwise, Iran was actively developing nuclear weapons that could kill millions if deployed against our allies or smuggled into American ports.
What happens next follows a logical progression I've mapped out in detail. The U.S. and Israeli response will likely neutralize Iran's naval capabilities to protect global shipping lanes while continuing precision strikes against the regime's leadership structure. Thanks to extensive intelligence networks established before 1979, Israel has remarkable visibility into Iranian military and government operations, explaining the surgical precision of recent strikes.
By the end of June, I predict we'll see the complete collapse of the current Iranian regime, potentially followed by the return of monarchy under Reza Pahlavi, who has a government-in-exile ready to implement. This aligns perfectly with the emerging "Trump Doctrine" that emphasizes commerce over conflict while maintaining American dominance of global trade routes. A post-theocratic Iran would likely join the Abraham Accords, transforming the Middle East from a perpetual conflict zone into a region of unprecedented economic cooperation benefiting Arabs, Jews, and Persians alike.
The stakes couldn't be higher, but understanding the strategic calculus behind these events helps cut through the noise of mainstream commentary.

Hey everybody, happy Monday, happy post-destruction of Iranian nuclear weapons, the time right now, and I share this with you because it's relevant to this discussion we're about to have. By the way, this is Herbie, your host here at A Radical Reset. I didn't introduce myself, I just assumed everyone listening has heard me before, but if you're new here, my name is Herbie Kay. I'm the host of A Radical Reset. If you want to learn more about A Radical Reset, what it means and the system of anti-politism that I've created to become a new kind of republic that would eliminate all the corruption and all of the money and the political parties altogether from politics and change politics from a career to a public service, well then you might be interested in picking up a copy of A Radical Reset, the Manifesto of Antipolitism, on Amazon in Kindle, paperback or hardcover, written by me, herbie K. You'll find it on Amazon, no problema, okay, and of course, like share, blah, blah, blah. You know all that stuff, so let's talk about what's going on. Those of you who've been following along know that I, accurately, have predicted pretty much everything that's happened, and not because I'm sentient, but because I play chess and I understand what it is, to use an analogy that I have overused perhaps, but I'm going to stick with it because it's relevant to the discussion today say what's going to come next? A lot of people are very nervous. I think it's a combination of the drumbeat of the mainstream, both the media and many commentators even in the independent media going into this litany of we're going to get sucked into another never-ending war, another endless war. So I want to talk about that. I want to talk about the attack that took place since I came home. So it's now, like I said, well, now it's 1113.
Speaker 1:And I was out this morning doing my thing, working blah, blah, blah, making a few dollars. Needless to say, I'm not making a living doing this yet, although I hope that changes over time. But in the meantime I was out doing my thing. I came back to see that they had attacked they being the Iranians had sent missiles to attack our base in Doha, qatar. So I wanted to speak to that a little bit. And then, what's going to come next?
Speaker 1:And continuing with again with the theme of Trump's playing chess while the whole world is playing checkers. First of all, let me address pardon me, that was me burping and talking at the same time I've been drinking. All morning. I stopped at the local QT. I picked up my favorite soft drink mix, which is half diet Dr Pepper and half Coke Zero, and the bubbles. What can I say? Okay, so if I do it again, you'll know why.
Speaker 1:So why did they attack Qatar? What's going on? Why is everybody worried about an endless war? Well, number one, this is not going to be an endless war. There's no regime change going on.
Speaker 1:Yes, trump quipped what Trump quipped about. Well, if the Iranian people I'm paraphrasing him. But he said, basically, it wouldn't be a bad thing if the Iranians changed the regime. He did not say we're going in to do it. He's stating the obvious. Okay, that is a head fake, just like the two week I'm going to give it within two weeks. That was a head fake. You know there's.
Speaker 1:If you don't want to use a chess analogy, let's use a poker analogy. You know, sometimes you can bluff strategically and if the dummy's dumb enough to believe it, that's what you want. So, but in this case, trump is not bluffing, he's head faking. He's just playing with the media because he's so lucky in his enemies. You know the people that are saying all these things are just making him more popular. The average American, the average Joe and Jane married couple with children who work hard at whatever their career is, white or blue collar, in either middle management or in the trades or whatever it might be, working at the factories, whatever regular people who live every day of every race, are growing to love Trump more and more because he represents what their common sense tells them to believe. They may not be playing chess, but a lot of chess is really the conversion of common sense to action and not to just plow ahead with the first thing. You see.
Speaker 1:So you know everyone fights the last war. You know our entire military is constructed at this moment to fight a land war in Europe. That's not coming. You know we don't really, to be honest, we don't need a standing army. Article 1, I forget which subsection of the Constitution it is says that we're supposed to not have a standing army. It's actually unconstitutional. We're supposed to disband it, and I'm not looking at my copy of the Constitution right now, but there's a short period of time after war that the Congress is supposed to disband the standing army, which we've long since ignored. But the truth is we don't need it.
Speaker 1:The future of warfare, as any blind man could see is going to be drone and robotic. The role of the soldier. Thank God it'll mean much less death. It's going to be reduced to nothing, of course, but by the same token slightly digressing. If you take the death out of war, you take the prevention out of war, if you know what I mean. So it'll be interesting to see how war evolves, war being nothing more than the last step of diplomacy.
Speaker 1:I've talked about this before as well, so just in review, war is not an end to itself. War is what has to be the threat for diplomacy to work. Okay, diplomacy is just talk, people will say. I listen to my fellow libertarians, and this is where I disagree with people like Dave Smith, who thinks it's always a better solution to negotiate. It's not always a better solution to negotiate. War is, in and of itself, a kind of negotiation. It's where it goes when you've talked yourself out, when there's no way to meet in the middle. That's where we were with the Iranians, and Trump did what the president should do, which is protect the United States.
Speaker 1:Understand that even though they don't have a ballistic missile to reach the United States, they certainly could put the weapon onto a ship and sail it into New York Harbor or Charleston Harbor or the port of Miami or Houston or whatever you want, and just ground detonate it. Now, ideally you like to, who would want to do this? But ideally the way a nuclear weapon is detonated is above the ground, so you get the most spread of the explosion. But even a ground explosion in New York Harbor would kill a couple of million people. Okay, if it was exploded above the ground, where it's supposed to be exploded, it would kill everybody in the city. But you know that would be bad enough.
Speaker 1:And the argument that you know that would be bad enough and the argument that you know that some people what I like to call the useful idiots of Iran, who believe their propaganda, that they're not really. You know, for civilian use, there is no civilian use for uranium. Uranium, uranium God, that was a combination of uranium, uranium. Look, I did it again. Uranium and Iranian. That's kind of a tongue twister for me. Anyway, uranium at 60%. There's no civilian use for it. Civilian use uranium refinement is 5% to 10% tops. There is no other use for uranium at that level but terrorism and death and destruction. That's it.
Speaker 1:So the whole that there there's a peaceful goal to this. That's propaganda. You want to be an idiot and believe it? Go ahead. Neville chamberlain's of the world have have a good time. He was actually smart. I'm being cruel to neville, that's a much more subtle story, but anyway, I digress. So. So, moving down the line, we did exactly the right thing we were. I know I understand that here and and again I'm speaking on June the 23rd, the day after the attacks and they're talking about. They didn't really get it all.
Speaker 1:The Iranians are going to claim a lot of bullshit, just like Hamas claims that there have been 40 or 50,000 civilian casualties. The real number is going to end up being around 10,000, which is bad enough, but it's not going to be what Hamas has been reporting. The thing is, israel hasn't reported any casualties because they haven't. You know, in the middle of a war, going out and counting bodies is a very difficult thing. When you're under fire, you have to kind of guess. You know, in Vietnam, when they used to put the body counts on TV, that was all just a guess. You know who's going to want, who wants to like, wade out into the jungle in that situation and count how many dead Vietnamese there are. Well, by the same token, you know, even though this is a completely different environment. But they're fighting in close urban quarters. They're not going to go in and count the bodies. No one knows how many people have been killed, but Hamas is publishing numbers, just like they've been publishing stories reprinted by the useful idiots of Iran that there have been attacks on the Palestinians getting food from the joint US-Israeli, privately set up food distribution in direct competition with the UN. Well, the truth is, all those attacks are all attacks on the UN by Hamas, on their own people. There have been no attacks on anybody going to the official Israeli government-provided feeding centers. It's all been going quite smoothly, although, again Going back to another earlier podcast and repeating what Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, which is that stupidity is the greatest threat to the long-term survival of mankind, which he defined not as intelligence.
Speaker 1:You can be a genius who's stupid? Because maybe you're a member of a group and the group dynamic is too strong for you to fight, or maybe for selfish career reasons, or maybe for all of the above, or maybe just peer pressure. Whatever it might be, that's stupidity. Well, we have a lot of stupid people in this country who just knee-jerk react to everything Trump does, without thinking through the ramifications of what's going on. Trump's move here was absolutely brilliant. It was the right thing to do.
Speaker 1:Now, the attack on the Air Force base today. I'm bringing it back to what my central subject was, away from all my digressions the attack on the base at Doha today. As far as I can tell, we shot all the missiles down. Maybe after I see the news a little bit later I'll see that one or two got through, but if there is any damage, it'll be minor. But it was exactly what Trump told them not to do.
Speaker 1:Now, why did they do it? Well, first of all, you have to try to put yourself which is going to be impossible, but as much as you can, you have to put yourself in the heads of people that are a member of a death cult. So not all of Islam is a death cult, but this particular flavor of Islam. So not all of Islam is a death cult, but this particular flavor of Islam, this subset of Shiism and not all Shiites are death cult members either, but the subset of Shia that is running Iran is a death cult, and these are people that genuinely believe that when they die, they get the 48 versions. This is not some joke. It's not some glib comment offhand, it's not to be laughed off. This is a deadly serious core belief of these people. They really believe it. You need only read everything they've said for years for the last 45 years, since 1979, to understand that these people are deadly serious about what they're saying.
Speaker 1:And even though they probably well I'll get into my predictions in a minute but even though they've retaliated in a very impotent way by attacking with missiles that we were prepared to intercept to basically our strongest position, our base in Doha, is incredibly stupid. But it tells me a couple of things. First of all, it tells me that the threat to close the Strait of Hormuz is an empty threat. So all of you that are worried about gasoline going up a dollar or two a gallon because you've been hearing all these stories, take a deep breath. Gasoline, if it goes up at all, maybe a nickel, maybe a dime, if at all, because the United States will not permit the Strait of Hormuz to be mined.
Speaker 1:The minute those boats come out of the harbor at this second, they'll be annihilated. Remember that the United States and Israel have complete air superiority. They're in the air right now. They're watching them right now, not just satellites, drones, fighter jets, bombers are in the air 24-7. If so much as the bow of any of those boats, their mine layers, go out to lay mines, they'll be annihilated in the harbor and the entire naval base will be laid to waste.
Speaker 1:My guess is that's going to be part of the retaliation right now. So now I'm going to go into the predictive phase of today's podcast. What's going to happen next, and you'll be able to. By the time you hear this, you'll already know if I'm right or wrong. Number one I think we're going to retaliate against the naval facilities so that the Strait of Hormuz is out of play, and I think we're going to sink the entire Iranian Navy, and I think it won't be hard to do. We've done it before. Ronald Reagan did it. To give you some idea, it's not that hard. Their Navy is a joke. It's mostly PT boats, like something out of a World War II movie. So we're going to annihilate that. Secondly, I think we're going to carry out, in conjunction with the Israelis, attacks on the leadership. We're going to continue to decapitate the regime. I would say today's the 23rd of June. I'll be a little generous, I'll say by the 25th of June, the Ayatollah is confirmed dead. Now he's named three successors. I will also predict that by the 25th of June, all three of them will be dead too.
Speaker 1:Remember that the Israelis have the Iranians completely infiltrated. How they're infiltrated in case any of you are curious is that prior to 1979 and the fall of the Shah, iran was not only a friend of Israel, it was a close friend of Israel, and lots of Iranians and Israelis are close friends and family members and even intermarried in some cases. And there are tons of Iranians still in Iran who stayed back voluntarily, who have infiltrated the regime from top to bottom and the military structure and are there right this very second, telling the Israelis where these people are 24-7. It's how they've been able to kill everybody and know exactly what. Israel's been able to hit bedrooms, specific bedrooms of where these people are. There's no place to hide and I believe this act of attacking Doha is an act of. I think that's an act of suicide. I think they could have picked a lot of targets. They picked the hardest target of America they could have possibly picked. It was a stupid choice. They're going to be dead very, very shortly Again.
Speaker 1:By the 25th of June, the entire regime will be decapitated. Now, what will come next? Will another round of radicals come in? Trump's not going to try to affect that. The CIA is not there, but the Mossad certainly is going to try to affect that. The CIA is not there, but the Mossad certainly is. And here's my next prediction Between today's June the 23rd, between now and June the 30th, it'll be clear that the government of Iran has fallen or is in the process of falling.
Speaker 1:How it's going to come again, part of my prediction is the Iranian army and the Revolutionary Guard, the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. I think the C is complex or core are two different, completely two different things. And there's still a lot of people in the army who don't like the regime and don't like the mullahs and are agents of Israel. And I believe that as we speak, they're fomenting a coup that will have taken place by the end of this month. So now, whether the coup will be successful, I think it will be, but if it isn't, well then it isn't. But that's what's going to. I'm not going to predict the success of the coup because I don't know. I'm ignorant as to the, how much of the, how much protection the mullahs still have left internally, I just don't know. But the Iranian, but the Israelis do, and I have a feeling that it's not much Just a gut feeling that the coup will be successful. I predict the coup. That's a hard prediction. I feel like the coup will be successful. Now we'll go even further out as to what takes its place. What's going to take its place is they're going to return to monarchy.
Speaker 1:Now there are a lot of so-called experts, particularly enemies of Trump on the left and right, who are already poo-pooing this idea making the Shah's the crown prince. His name is Reza Pahlavi to be the next Shah. A lot of them are like poo-pooing it because he's too much a stooge of the Americans and the people in the street and Iran won't tolerate it. They underestimate how many Iranians are actually pro-American and how many Iranians want out of this and how many Iranians would like to have a per capita income like Israel. You know, like Trump said in his speech in Saudi Arabia, it's commerce over conflict. That's what's coming. The future of the Middle East is going to be commerce over conflict and there are a lot of Iranians who would like to do commerce. Anyone who knows Iranians here in the United States knows that they're excellent business folks and they're just awesome people. Very, very smart, very good in business. A lot of them here can't wait to invest and a lot of them want the Shah's government return.
Speaker 1:Now, people, I heard some moron on MSNBC. I want to say it was Rachel Maddow. It's either her or the other woman that she's off and on with. It's just another. I can't think of her name because she's such a dummy. I blocked it out.
Speaker 1:But anyway, we're talking about well, we're never going monarchy. That's like a 19th century concept. No, it's not. You know, I hate to break this to you, but there's a king of Spain and there's a king of England. I don't know if it's a king or a queen. Now I think it's a queen of the Netherlands. There's a king of. I think there's a king Again, it could be a king or a queen. I'm not going to keep identifying gender, but there's a monarchy in all the Scandinavian countries Sweden, denmark, norway all have monarchs, no-transcript.
Speaker 1:But in a country like Iranians, even though they have, they're diverse in the sense that there are different groups within Iran, that they aren't all Shiite Muslims. They're not Western. You know, you can't think like our groups are. They're not like American blacks or American Latinos or anything. This is a whole different level of tribalism. It's more tribalism than anything else. We could easily descend into it, by the way, but we're not going to. We'll talk about that another day.
Speaker 1:But the bottom line here is, in order for them to have a stable country, they have to have a central figure, and that central figure has been the Ayatollah, and before him Shahs of various types. And now we're going to return to what Iran knows. Iran doesn't have a democratic history. It's like when democracy has been tried in Russia. It doesn't really work, because the history of Russian democracy is none. They briefly had one for about 30 seconds. It wasn't even a democracy. They had a parliament called the Duma, shortly after the Tsar fell, but they really have no history of it at all. Neither does Iran, and so there's not going to be a parliamentary democracy the way we understand it. There's going to be a parliamentary monarchy. There'll be some sort of council and this and that, but the bottom line is the reason I'm predicting it's going to be Reza Pahlavi is. He's the obvious choice. He is erudite, he does cut a good figure and, more than that, he has an entire government in exile ready to go, so to reduce the chaos on the street privately.
Speaker 1:What will go on behind the scenes? What Trump is doing, playing chess, is going to be supporting the Israelis to bring back the Shah. Once the Shah returns to power, which will happen sometime in July, then it'll be very shortly after that, that, once they get their ducks in a row and everything calms down and the United States will drop all sanctions, europe will drop all sanctions and they will enter the mainstream. They'll sign the Abraham Accords, the Saudis will join the Abraham Accords and the Middle East will become what it should be, which is a magnificent place of prosperity where all people Arabs, jews and Persians alike have rising living standards and benefit from each other's various areas of specialty, have rising living standards and benefit from each other's various areas of specialty.
Speaker 1:And Israel, the Trump doctrine that is replacing the interventionist Wilsonian way we've been operating since the First World War and fucked up basically most of the world through American intervention, when it should have never happened. That's another discussion for another day. Woodrow Wilson being the most evil man in history, we'll discuss that another day. Woodrow Wilson being the most evil man in history we'll discuss that another day. But that's dead now. And the Trump doctrine is commerce over conflict, but it also is the continuing projection of American power worldwide, but not to interfere and not to tell countries how to run themselves, but to keep trade lanes open, which is appropriate. We want to be the ones that dominate the world's seas and the world's shipping lanes and the world's airlines, because that is also the reason the dollar will remain, for the time being anyway, as the world's reserve currency, and the dollar must remain as the world's reserve currency for us to get around this financial crisis that we are already slipping into and the amount of debt, which is a whole different issue.
Speaker 1:But it all connects. All of this connects, and when you're playing chess, you're not just looking at the pieces on the board. You're thinking about what's coming, what the next move is, and the next move is, and the next move is, and the next move is, and so that's what Trump is doing. So what you're going to see now is, once this is all resolved and it's going to resolve in the next couple of weeks, completely as far as knowing what's coming then what's going to happen is is that we're going to there's going to be a deal with China, because China wants to keep the oil flowing from the Middle East and would like it flowing from the United States, and we would like rare earth deal. That's, we have a temporary deal now, but we'd like a permanent deal in place. That's all going to take place and we're going to.
Speaker 1:Ukraine is going to resolve. How it resolves is going to be some deal where Russia keeps everything it has, basically, and Ukraine's just going to have to suck it up and take it. Too bad, so sad. That's just the way it's going to be. Sometimes in a war, you lose, and the Ukrainians cannot win this war. Their choice is lose or be demolished, and they're going to take lose and then Russia is going to be readmitted into the G8, which Trump already spoke to a week ago and Putin is going to get what he wants and they're going to come out of their own recession and again, prosperity is good for everybody.
Speaker 1:So I'm really to sum up today's podcast I'm exceptionally optimistic and my counsel to you is do not pay attention to people fighting the last war. Okay, don't worry about, you know, an endless war. We're doing none of the things that got us into an endless war. Our leader is clearly not going to commit us to an endless war. Okay so relax. Our leader is clearly not going to commit us to an endless war. Okay so relax, take a deep breath. This has all been thought out ahead of time. We already. The retaliation for Doha was baked in before they even attacked this morning. I promise you it's all going to come very fast. It's going to come very hard.
Speaker 1:Trump is an FAFO kind of guy, as opposed to a TACO. You know Trump always chickens out. I think that's a dead issue now. And FAFO, fuck around and find out. Well, I think the world knows, and that can only help the American position at present. We'll see what happens down the road, but you can only deal with what's in front of you and then try to extrapolate from there, and I think Trump has been an excellent chess player. I think he's at least three or four moves out, maybe more.
Speaker 1:So that's all I've got to talk to you about today.
Speaker 1:Be positive, be optimistic, don't worry too much, don't listen. You know if it's all got you too worried, my advice is turn it off. None of these people know, none of you too worried. My advice is turn it off. None of these people know. None of these people are in country. None of these people are experiencing this. Relax. They all have a political agenda, everything. Now take a step back and think what you would do based on common sense and the facts, the objective reality in front of you, and you will come to understand that we're being led by a rational leader with a rational program and a rational plan, and we'll see how it all turns out. And my feeling is, although it won't turn out the way it's planned because nothing ever does it'll still turn out extremely well. Have a beautiful day.
