“The men’s team beat out Canada and took home the gold, but woke journalists are furious over their refusal to snub Trump…”
Not any act, any attack, just a “refusal to attack.” Right. 1) “All things are Political” To communists. That’s what makes them stupid and boring. Like BE A HUMAN for two seconds, will ya? 2) Boy I’m sure glad the LEFT never attacks anyone and is a snow white party of love and light. Nothing says, “Brotherhood of man” “Solidarity of the working classes” like attacking all humans, for any reason, wherever they are found. Then they attack others for NOT attacking others. “Attack! Kill all the

Yes, 1) because contractors should do whatever they want, not what we pay them for. Really Corporations are the government, CNN says. They say that because they and their whole staff and all reporters are Socialists. Ask them! 2) Because CNN thinks the point of a Military is to have “Guardrails” and “Safe spaces” and not hurt anyone. China would like that, and CNN works for their true masters, the Glorious Revolution, and against their hated enemy, Hate! Hate!! The Working People of the United States. Their stupid red hats, and “I need drinking water” “I need jobs” Blah blah blah…
Duran on Ukraine stays on topic for the first in months. They’ve come to the AMAZING and very true conclusion that Europe wants war, Europe wants escalation, they just don’t want to pay for it. Whaaaaaaa??? No, no sirs, it’s always the United States! The U.S. does everything and “Just says” Alex; there is no “Europe”. What brought on this fit of honesty? Aaaaaaand Europe may WANT that, but almost nobody is DOING anything, except Germany, who is barely doing anything except dying. They are sending all remaining military hardware to Ukraine, and opening factories that can’t get supplies. It will make no difference.
This was opened because they have this new plan – stay with me here – they are going to “Just send” all NATO troops into Ukraine, hold it forever, but that’ll be all legal n’ stuff because they won’t shoot anyone! …I mean unless Russia shoots them first. Ah. Ha. Sirs? That is “Plan A”. That’s the same plan you’ve had since 1999. Have you asked RUSSIA about it? Because my understanding is they’ll gleefully smash every living NATO man into powder, and will have little trouble doing it.
No. Their PLAN is to get the U.S. to fight it FOR them, going back to 1st paragraph, they have ZERO pay for NATO, 1% and not 4%, have for decades, have done f—k all the last FOUR years, and are going to sit in Paris Cafes while boys from Oklahoma die for them. YUP! That’s “The Plan”.
“Netanyahu has disrupted Trump’s negotiations” Then he doesn’t work for him, does he? You just proved it, right there. Trump was doing a thing. That thing was independent of Nutsy, obviously. So he’s not an employee. Then WHEN he found out – because Trump didn’t tell him – Nutsy then said, “HEY! You have to stop!” But then Trump did NOT stop, so Nutsy had to take public action to “Disrupt” Trump from doing all these actions Nutsy doesn’t like. …The Same as all other leaders. When Iran doesn’t like something, they also “Disrupt.” China non-stop “Disrupts”, with having Fang-Fang give orders, running Feinstein’s office and posting dumb AI Asians online. That’s called “All leaders, every day, in all history.”

“Trump has no offramp” – Mearsheimer.” Right!

ParticipantFrom last night when Trump was talking: Disappearing Money https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/disappearing-money
Michael Hudson, Destiny of Civilization – Financialization & Collapse, discussion with Glen Diesen and transcript
Michael Hudson explains that the objective of classical economics was to minimize rent extraction, and to use a mixed economic approach of private industrial capital and governmental provision of infrastructure to keep labor healthy and labor costs low. All of that led to the American industrial miracle, German industrial miracle, Japanese and Chinese, etc. This was the natural and healthy evolution of Industrial Capitalism.
This began in England between about 1805 and 1846, when rent collecting landed gentry fought to maintain taxes on imported food, to keep their rent collections up. Eventually those “corn laws” were rescinded, feeding workers more cheaply, to the benefit of workers and industry. Further governmental services, like land allotments to grow some food, and improved water and sewage services, also bolstered worker health to the benefit of society and industry.
“Free markets” then meant free-from-excessive-rent-collection, as opposed to the current case where (non-productive) Financial Capitalists are free to maximize rent collection through creation of monopolies and purchase of political favors.
The situation is that industrial capitalism in the US has been hollowed out to support financial rent collection, while moving production to areas with low costs and lax regulation.
Hudson repeatedly makes the point that supporting productive industry through government infrastructure and health programs at low cost, while minimizing rent-extraction, keeps wealth circulating in a society, to the benefit of the society, while extracting and concentrating that wealth in a few hands weakens all productive enterprises, in the interests of financial capitalists owning more and more of a weaker and less productive system.
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2026/02/michael-hudson-destiny-of-civilization-financialization-collapse.htmlFormer Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts describes how the U.S. government stole $50 trillion of taxpayer money, used Epstein to launder it, and then poisoned Americans to shorten their lifespans:
“We hit the Great Financial Crisis, and then we have $29 trillion of bailouts. So we had $21 trillion of missing money from the US government, and now we have $29 trillion in bailouts. That’s $50 trillion…
So we’re talking about putting the United States in a debt trap, and somebody walks off with $50 trillion… “[And] Jeffrey Epstein made his first visit to the Clinton White House arranged by Bob Rubin, who was the Secretary of Treasury when the money started to go missing… And at the time he was national economic adviser.
I believe Jeffrey Epstein ran the SWIFT system on the missing money … the sex was just part of creating related control files that they used.” https://x.com/SenseReceptor/status/2025248808209469545A former World Bank president has sounded the alarm, revealing that the Federal Reserve has lost over a trillion dollars—and counting—turning it into nothing more than a massive hedge fund for the rich and powerful.
He claims the Fed is borrowing money from banks at 5.4% interest, then pouring it into government bonds, creating the illusion that the government’s financial situation is better than it actually is.
He warns that this scheme isn’t just limited to the U.S.—it’s happening across central banks worldwide. https://x.com/conspiracyb0t/status/2024581671031636113Moonset over Tehran tonight is 12:37 AM, with sunrise about 6 hours after that.

Israel’s public broadcaster KAN has reported that at least 12 US F-22 fighter jets landed at an Israeli air base in the south of the country, connected with the ongoing Pentagon build-up threatening anti-Tehran action.
“Twelve US F-22 fighter jets landed this afternoon at one of the Israeli Air Force bases in the south of the country, as part of the American deployment in the Middle East,” KAN said.
The publication added of what is the world’s most sophisticated and high-tech stealth jet, that it is capable of “penetrating enemy territory and disabling air defense systems and radar installations.”
Local media further described the fighter jets’ presence as in anticipation of potential new attacks by Iran-aligned Houthi forces in Yemen. The Houthis had previously, in solidarity with Gaza and Iran, pummeled Israel with long-range drones and ballistic missiles. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/dozen-us-f-22-warplanes-land-israel-iran-tensions-soar I wonder if the Houthis in Yemen could use some of these, the best shoulder-fired air defense missiles in the world, costing $200,000 each: Iran Strikes Covert Missile Deal With Moscow In Backchannel Rearmament https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-strikes-covert-missile-deal-moscow-backchannel-rearmamamant
A false-flag “Iranian” attack on the US might make Trump attack, right? Simplicius, The Strategic Dilemma At the Heart of Iran’s Struggle
Contradictory bouts of news and rumor continue to pour in surrounding Trump’s ‘imminent’ attack on Iran. The buildup is said to be the largest since the Iraq war, with various figures like ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou giving their renditions of ‘insider intel’ that Trump has already sealed the fated decision and is ready to roll heavy within the next 48 hours. Iranian officials, on the other hand, appear to signal that talks will continue into next weekend, and there are varied reports about deals gaining traction.
It’s clear that Trump has been wavering due to major second thoughts about a prolonged conflict. Multiple reports have indicated he may be leaning towards a “compromise” of limited strikes in order to coerce Iran into a deal, rather than risking an all out conflict which could end in humiliation...
..We know that Trump’s real motivation for the Iran strikes is not US’s own intelligence regarding some nonexistent Iranian potential, but rather the pressure from Israel. That means for Trump the main operative goal is to somehow satisfy his Israeli superiors and relieve the pressure, rather than achieving any one particular military objective. As long as he can give them a good “college try” and prove his loyalty with a thrashing of Iran, he may deem his debt paid and pull the plug. Israel, of course, will never be fully satisfied until Iran is entirely destroyed, but this is simply how the game works: Trump relieves pressure by striking Iran even if it doesn’t entirely satisfy Netanyahu...
..It should also be noted that some are convinced Tucker Carlson has just single-handedly saved Iran from destruction by outing Israel’s true plans in his interview with ultra-Zionist Mike Huckabee, US’s ambassador to Israel. Recall that Carlson was detained in Israel in quite unfriendly fashion as he’s been internally deemed a kind of enemy of the state for exposing Israel’s propaganda… In the interview, Huckabee implied to Carlson his belief that Israel is entitled to conquer the entire Middle East, as per its biblically chosen stature...
..This sent a firestorm of outrage throughout the Middle East, with the ministries of every major country writing an ‘open letter’ of protest:
The Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, together with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the League of Arab States (LAS), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) express their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States Ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states, including the occupied West Bank.
This outrage, many now believe, could have led to Trump rethinking a long-term military campaign against Iran…
..This potential coming attack amounts to Israel’s last chance against Iran, because after midterms wherein Trump could lose control of all Congress, he may never again regain the political capital to engage in such large-scale unilateral actions. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/the-strategic-dilemma-at-the-heart Gold & Geopolitics presents 7 mideast scenarios, including one where Iranian saboteurs strike inside the US, which Israeli “Iranians” could do just as well.

“The prison guards threw him in the middle of the yard and left him there. Dr Adnan Al-Bursh was unable to stand up. One of the prisoners helped him and accompanied him to one of the rooms. A few minutes later, prisoners were heard screaming from the room they went into, declaring Dr Adnan Al-Bursh (was dead).” Bursh was widely regarded as one of the best-qualified and well-known surgeons in Gaza. https://thecradle.co/articles/tortured-and-left-to-die-new-details-emerge-about-israels-murder-of-prominent-gaza-surgeonAmb.

Participant Israel plans to turn Gaza into a “cashless society” where the IDF fully controls who has access to e-money, who one can transact with, how much, & who starves to death
This would be the ultimate tool of blackmail & pacification against journalists, critics, activists…etc.
Any Palestinian would always be one click away from losing access to their Israel-controlled e-wallets.
Israel can simply call anyone they don’t like “khamas” & suspend their digital wallets, who’s going to double check? Palestinians under Israel’s military rule are not citizens, are ruled by “army regulations” not law, & have no course to appeal Israeli decisions. E.g. Israel bans people from leaving Gaza arbitrarily under unexplained unappealable “security pretexts”.
One of the reforms the US has been demanding of the PA is to transform the Palestinian economy into an Israel-controlled “cashless society”.

Casual observers are convinced that Trump is a madman with no method behind his madness, but the reality is that he and his team – collectively known as Trump 2.0 – are slowly but surely implementing their grand strategy against China. Every one of their moves abroad should be seen as a means to this end. They want to comprehensively contain China and then coerce it into a lopsided trade deal that “rebalance[s] China’s economy toward household consumption” per the National Security Strategy.
Trump 2.0 doesn’t want to go to war over this, however, which is why they’re careful to avoid replicating the Imperial Japanese precedent. Piling too much economic-structural pressure on China at once could spook it into lashing out in desperation before the window of opportunity closes. https://korybko.substack.com/p/trump-20s-grand-strategy-againstMoon of Alabama, Energy Glasshouse – Ukraine Attempts To Blackmail Hungary, Slovakia Destined To Fail
Hungary and Slovakia oppose the war in western proxy war Ukraine. Both countries have continued to receive Russian oil through the Druzhba pipeline via Ukraine. Both countries oppose EU membership for Ukraine.
The acting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski is trying to use a Russian attack in January on energy infrastructure in Ukraine, which he alleged damaged the Druzhba pipeline, to block further transfer of Russian crude oil to Hungary and Slovakia. It is an obvious attempt to blackmail those countries. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/02/energy-glasshouse-ukraine-attempts-to-blackmail-hungary-slovakia-destined-to-fail.html German Court Rules X Platform Must Turn Over Data on Hungarian Govt Support
The European Union has a major targeting effort against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, an ally of President Trump who does not support giving additional funding to the Ukraine war effort. Hungary is having national elections in April...
..As noted by Hungarian Minister Zoltan Kovacs, “Many have asked how Hungary can block the €90 billion Ukrainian war loan if we are not participating in it. clarified that the loan does not affect Hungary and does not entail any financial commitment for us. As Hungary is not part of the cooperation, in most of the decision-making procedures we do not even vote. However, he pointed out that for the scheme to function, the EU’s seven-year budget guarantee rules must be amended – and this requires the approval of all 27 member states, not only the financing member states. We are now blocking this decision, without which the war loan cannot be disbursed.” https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/02/21/german-court-rules-x-platform-must-turn-over-data-on-hungarian-govt-support/#more-280862 Russia says Britain, France plotting to give Ukraine nuclear weapons
Russian Foreign Intelligence Service says Germany ‘wisely refused to participate in this dangerous adventure’ https://www.aa.com.tr/en/world/russia-says-britain-france-plotting-to-give-ukraine-nuclear-weapons/3838609 Andrew Korybko, Poland’s Conservative Opposition Has Good Reason To Reject A Gigantic EU Loan For Arms
The larger trend is that “The EU’s Planned Transformation Into A Military Union Is A Federalist Power Play”, and this could become a fait accompli if two-thirds of Poland’s EU-allocated €40 billion low-cost loans go towards German-produced military-technical equipment. After all, that sum (€26 billion) is over half of Poland’s 2026 defense expenditures (€46 billion), which could therefore result in the radical reorientation of its armed forces towards its neighbor’s wares. The strategic implications are obvious.
Poland’s conservative opposition accordingly has good reason to reject this gigantic EU loan since the terms would and risk reversing the gains that it’s made vis-à-vis Germany with respect to their regional rivalry.
Liberal-globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed that Nawrocki’s veto of the law for implementing SAFE would be a “betrayal of national interests”, but since Nawrocki’s ally Kaczynski believes that Tusk is a “German agent”, Nawrocki might thus not be deterred. https://korybko.substack.com/p/polands-conservative-opposition-hasFebruary 25, 2026 at 12:52 pm #231809John Day
Participant High altitude balloons are cheap. Musk’s Starlink now Obsolete: Russia Tests Economical Alternative to Stratospheric Internet
Russia has begun flight testing its new stratospheric communications platform.
Barrazh-1′ is a balloon-based system. It is designed to provide broadband internet from altitudes of about 20 km. This is far above conventional aircraft and terrestrial infrastructure.
At this altitude, a single platform can cover vast territories, functioning as a pseudo-satellite without ever reaching orbit.
Unlike Starlink, which requires thousands of satellites and constant rocket launches, Barrazh-1 carries up to 100 kg of telecommunications payload. https://michaelwalshwriter.com/2026/02/21/musks-starlink-now-obsolete-russia-tests-economical-alternative-to-stratospheric-internet/Jessica Rose Ph.D. The Transhumanism Agenda – Upgrade or Extinction? …Or neither?

Elitists – Why does nothing happen?
Elitism is the notion that individuals who form an elite—a select group with desirable qualities such as intellect, wealth, power, fame, physical attractiveness, notability, special skills, experience, lineage—are more likely to be constructive to society and deserve greater influence or authority. The term elitism may be used to describe a situation in which power is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people.

The situation is that industrial capitalism in the US has been hollowed out to support financial rent collection, while moving production to areas with low costs and lax regulation.

PATRICK LAWRENCE: To Whom Are Our Liars Lying & What Is the Point of Their Lies?
February 25, 2026In the resulting empire of lies it no longer makes any difference that no one believes anything. It does not matter, in other words, that America makes its way in the world on the basis of endless deceits. The only ones who to have to believe any of the lies are those telling them, and among these people pretending to believe them is sufficient.
There are reams of this stuff around just now, more all the time, it seems. And it is not enough to tag it clunky propaganda and leave it at that: This meta-reality is congealing before our eyes into a view of the world, a new geopolitical take, that we can accept if we wish, although it does not matter one way or the other if we do or do not.
