Edward Hopper Hotel window 1955 • Trump: US “Close to Meeting Objectives” and “Considering Winding Down.” (CTH) • US “Degrades” Threats To Hormuz Traf
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 22 2026]The one firm and consistent characteristic of Trumpturd is that he always lies about anything and everything regardless of subject all the Time.
Always
No one in the world trust Trumpturd on anything as far as you can throw a dead lawyer.
Just the other day, keep your head on a swivel…..
Credibility Gap?
Earlier onset of dementia
At 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran.
At 12:05 he declared victory.
At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines.
At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground.
At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire.
At 12:16 he declared victory again.
At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire.
At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards.
At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire.
At 12:31 he said everything was perfect.
At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing.
At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz.
At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed.
At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran.
At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran.
Trumpturd follow up:
By 3:43 PM he told CBS he doesn’t want a ceasefire.
By 5:13 PM – 13 minutes after futures markets closed for the weekend, in a coincidence that should be studied in every securities fraud textbook – he posted on Truth Social that the US is “getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts”.
““They really mean to abolish everything you care about, and they want to take away everything you love and destroy everything you have, replacing it with a Stone Age ideology.”
that is so freakin’ stupid.

Russia to Refer Childless Women for Psychiatric Evaluations
“Russia is now advising psychological counseling for women who do not intend to have children, which is precisely the type of response governments default to when they refuse to confront economic reality.
They search for cultural or emotional explanations when the issue is economical.
Russia’s fertility rate has fallen to roughly 1.4 children per woman, well below the 2.1 replacement level, and total births have declined to near post-Soviet lows at just over 1.2 million annually.
This decline has been persistent, not cyclical, and the population is aging rapidly as deaths continue to exceed births”
Collective West Doomed
The same pattern is unfolding across all developed economies.
Europe’s fertility rate is now near 1.3.
Spain and Italy are closer to 1.1.
Germany is around 1.4.
France, once the exception, has fallen sharply and recently recorded more deaths than births for the first time in decades.
Japan has been below replacement for years and continues to contract.
Even countries that implemented aggressive family subsidies, such as Norway and Hungary, have failed to reverse the trend.
A Corollary
If women as a gender refuse to engage in the role only they can accomplish of having enough babies for the next generation………
Men as a gender will refuse to engage in the role of providing and protecting said women and babies.
Period

Trump Issues Trillion-Dollar Ultimatum to Gulf States Over Iran Conflict
He’s no Don Corleone
“Hey, this a nice little oil racket youz got goin’ here in the Gulf, it would be a shame if it Burned Down or something…“
“Don(ald) Trump has issued an unprecedented financial ultimatum to Gulf nations, demanding trillions of dollars in exchange for managing the ongoing conflict with Iran.
According to the disclosed information, Trump has valued the continuation of active confrontation and military operations against Tehran at $5 trillion.
This is the sum Arab monarchies must reportedly pay the United States if they wish for Washington to maintain its aggressive posture.
Alternatively, the politician proposed a second option: the Gulf states would have to pay $2.5 trillion to secure an end to hostilities and the establishment of peace.”
I smell a Kushner…
Cha Ching!
Trump views Middle Eastern allies primarily as a source of colossal cash inflows intended to bolster the American budget.
“This stance has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles, as it calls into question the traditional foundations of defense cooperation. Experts note a clear shift from strategic partnership toward a model of direct financing of U.S. interests by regional players.”

Our “owners” (per Carlin) are “members of a great big exclusive cluband we’re not in it”. What their club does is to manage the rest of us humans as grazing animal-herds, to profit from us, and also to cull us with wars and other convenient means, when we exceed the system’s carrying capacity, and threaten their future profits.
The discoveries of how to use fossil-fuels like coal, oil and natural gas to mine and refine metals, then build machines that would work hard to mine more coal and iron ore to make more machines, vastly increased the profits available to them. There were tractors, and the ability to pump irrigation water to farms, and diesel to run heavy machinery and transport food and goods wherever industry could profit.
Profit is extracted by financially and physically controlling trades and extracting some toll or tax. This can be an official tariff, or through printing a fiat currency which others accept for nice things they make. People who don’t want to use that currency can be told of the bad things that will happen to them if they refuse.
The more essential to life the good under control are, the more that can be extracted, until people can’t afford it, extraction drops, and people attack you.
Global diesel fuel usage peaked and plateaued in 2014. That is the main fuel of bulk-transportation, mining, drilling and farming. Jet fuel and bunker fuel are similar. That implies a plateau of real economy, also. Net oil production and real economy are 90% correlated, so economies can be starved of this lifeblood. Those who control the flows of oil control the machinery that feeds, clothes, waters, cools, houses and employs other humans.
We are seeing a war that has halted about 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas flow, and 40% of fertilizer, needed for spring planting. The war is now spreading, with Israel blowing up Iranian ships in the Caspian sea, and Ukrainian troops apparently preparing to storm the Bushehr nuclear reactor comples that Russia is building for iran. Russia’s Duma just approved sending troops to protect it. Ukrain may hope to get leverage over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor, now under Russian control.
This is a war largely about who will control the Strait of Hormuz choke point, and who will get the flows of oil, gas and fertilizer through it, and also the other ports of Arabia and the Persian Gulf.
This is an existential war for farmers who rely upon that fertilizer, and the people who rely upon that food. It is an existential war for the oil-producing states, and the people who live there on food and water from other places, and vulnerable desalination plants. This is an existential war for the ruling elites of Israel and Iran, and for the people who live in and near those countries, who are being killed, maimed and disposessed by war.
Who will the owners cull to reduce the demand on declining diesel, jet, and bunker fuels? Who will get the natural gas for heating, electricity, chemical and plastics production? Who will pay the owners the most?
Are there too many owners now? Will some of the owners die, too? How will the owners decide those difficult points of the mass cull?

Real Netanyahu or an AI Netanyahu? Iranian foreign minister says Israeli premier’s ‘open disdain for Jesus Christ is remarkable’
‘For a man so reliant on goodwill of Christians in the United States, Netanyahu’s open disdain for Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) is remarkable,’ says Abbas Araghchi
The Israeli premier’s “unbridled praise” for Genghis Khan, “the worst slaughterer our region has ever seen, also fits with his current status as a wanted war criminal,” Araghchi said.
During a televised address on Thursday evening, Netanyahu said: “Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation.” https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/iranian-foreign-minister-says-israeli-premiers-open-disdain-for-jesus-christ-is-remarkable/3872963Chilling one minute video of real or (I vote) AI Netanyahu saying that: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWH1LF_Dohg/

Gold & Geopolitics, Everything, Everywhere, All at Once – Everything’s fine. Truly. Nothing to see here.
In 1980, when the Iran-Iraq war disrupted global oil supply, the volume lost was around 4 million barrels per day. Painful. The world went into recession. Volcker raised rates to 20% to kill inflation. It nearly killed the economy in the process. We called it a crisis and we meant it.
The current Hormuz blockade is running at roughly 20 million barrels per day.
The futures market, in its infinite wisdom, is pricing a quick resolution.
Trump says the war is “basically over”. His Defence Secretary says it’s “only just the beginning”…
..Even in the most optimistic scenario – ceasefire tomorrow, everybody shakes hands – the Maersk CEO noted it takes at least ten days after a ceasefire for tanker insurance to clear. Then mine-clearing: Iran has been laying mines in the Strait, and removing them will take weeks to months. Then tankers reposition, loads getting secured, and finally the flow resumes.
The oil futures curve is pricing step five as if it follows step one with a 48-hour lag. It cannot physically happen on that timeline. https://no01.substack.com/p/everything-everywhere-all-at-onceQatar Dethroned As ‘LNG King’ As U.S. Seizes Throne, Reshaping Future Of Gas https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/qatar-dethroned-lng-king-us-seizes-throne-reshaping-future-gas
Gail Tverberg, at Our Finite World, April 24, 2025 Brace for rapid changes in the economy; the world economy is reaching Limits to Growth
The world economy is at a major turning point, which is why we should brace for rapid changes in the economy. The world is moving from having enough goods and services to go around, to not having enough to go around. The dynamics of the economy are very different with not enough to go around. The hoped-for solution of higher prices doesn’t fix the situation; after a point, adding more buying-power mostly produces inflation. Other solutions are needed. The world economy is reaching what has been called “Limits to Growth.” https://gailtverberg.substack.com/p/brace-for-rapid-changes-in-the-economy-the-world-economy-is-reaching-limits-to-growthThe Honest Sorcerer, Iran War: The Chickens Come Home To Roost – Is this the end of the world or something completely different?
By starting the war on Iran, the US … lit the funeral pyre of the complex globalized world economy it was building for eight decades. With the Strait Hormuz still being shut and with energy infrastructure under direct attack, the world has slipped into the biggest oil crisis in history, threatening to end in a global economic depression. But is this war really, as a few commentators like to put it, the start of a rapid, cascading collapse of high tech civilization? And if not, what could a world post-Hormuz look like?
..As a symptom of this crisis world diesel consumption started to plateau around 2014, which meant a plateau in the combined output of mining, agriculture, transportation and construction worldwide.
You see, machines performing these jobs didn’t get suddenly more fuel efficient, nor were replaced with electric “alternatives.” No, the flattening of diesel production/consumption worldwide was due to a lack of supply increases (when it comes to suitable crude to make diesel fuel from) and due to a lack of demand, as mining (especially coal) and global transportation/construction started to plateau then decline almost everywhere. https://thehonestsorcerer.substack.com/p/iran-war-the-chickens-come-home-toAre you out of debt and risk assets? Surplus Energy Economics Don’t mention the war” SOME REALITIES BEHIND THE ONGOING CONFLICT
Adjusted for inflation since 2007, these SEEDS estimates indicate that aggregate financial assets have increased by about $315tn in a period in which reported real GDP increased by only $37tn.
The idea that we have added about $8.50 in new financial claims for each dollar of reported “growth” is by no means outlandish, given the preference for ultra-cheap capital in the intervening years.
Asset price gains might only exist on paper, but such gains are an addictive drug in the corridors and offices where decisions are taken. This is one reason why 2008-era promises that reckless monetary expansion would be “temporary”, and would last only for the duration of the “emergency”, were never likely to be honoured.
Moreover, within the estimated $315tn real-terms increase in financial assets since 2007, less than 23% has been sourced from the regulated banking sector, and almost 68% from NBFIs. These non-bank financial intermediaries are known colloquially as the “shadow banking sector”, an opaque and hyper-complex system of cross-collateralised claims.
In essence, then, the financial system has been subject to increasing risk in two distinct ways.
First, there is the scale risk associated with creating upwards of $8 in net new claims for each incremental dollar in transactional activity.
Second, there’s ever-increasing complexity risk driven by the migration of the centre of gravity of risk itself from the comparatively conservative centre of the system to its unregulated and opaque periphery…
..But it’s in the economic field that reporting has been at its most shallow. We’re told that the costs of fuel, food and – as if it mattered, in the grand scheme of things – air fares might rise. We’ve also been informed that conflict-induced inflation might keep interest rates ‘higher for longer’.
The citizen, it seems, might have to pay more for his or her fuel, food and travel, and might find mortgages somewhat harder to find, and costlier to service. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2026/03/21/320-dont-mention-the-war/Consciousness of Sheep, A Storm Is Coming
In 1927, the world coal price spiked. The blame was cast onto Welsh miners who had been on strike through the previous year. But it turned out that the world had reached the peak of coal-based coal extraction. And while massive coal deposits remained, the economic (energy) cost of recovering these were too high. And so, the price of coal rose, and with it the price of anything made from, made with or transported using coal rose accordingly…
..The problem though, ran far deeper than the Ponzi nature of financial bubbles. On the other side of the Atlantic, recovery from the war had been far slower. France in particular was struggling to repay its American borrowings because Germany was unable to repay its war reparations to France. Britain too was struggling with a weak economy and volatile labour relations. And at the time, each of these European economies’ primary energy was coal. So, when the coal price peaked, the risk of a default on war debts grew (The US government had to intervene with Germany and France to restructure the payments, and Britain would eventually default in 1934). It was the combination of the energy shock and the excessive debt overhang which made the 1929 Wall Street Crash and the ensuing Great Depression so devastating… propelling the Europeans – and eventually the world – on the road to political extremism and the outbreak of a new, and far more deadly, global conflict…
..When the western allies landed in Normandy in June 1944, all of their divisions were motorised. Nine out of ten of the German divisions which faced them, in contrast, depended upon horses and footslogging.
The massive 1953-1973 post-war boom owes much of its momentum to the European, Japanese and South Korean economies making the transition from coal to oil as their primary energy source… the continental USA providing a large part of the oil and printing the dollars to loan to the Europeans to buy it. But by 1970, the continental USA had peaked. And the following year, the dollar was forced off the gold standard, ushering in the fiat currency system which is coming to an end today…
..Another energy shock – the peak of global conventional oil production in 2005 – was the first domino in the chain of events which led to the 2008 crash, the European sovereign debt crisis and the depression which has plagued the western economies ever since. Oil prices rose above $140-per-barrel, and esteemed economists assured us that prices would rise above $200 by the end of the decade. But the western economies cannot sustain an oil price much higher than $80 (at today’s price) without going into a deep recession. And in the early 2010s, the oil price slumped back below $40 before gradually rising above $70 once more.
Not that the 2008 (private) debt overhang was ever really resolved. Rather, we have been involved in a game of extend and pretend in which governments and central banks attempt to shore up financial markets until such time as the growth fairy returns. But growth is not really to do with confidence or currency creation. Rather, just as each crash was triggered by an energy shock, so each was overcome by the development of new energy resources. Although the American shale bubble, because of its high energy cost, has proved far less powerful than previous oil developments.
..Since then, of course, we have been through… a new energy shock caused by western sanctions on Russia which has left Europe dangerously dependent upon Qatar and the USA for gas (which, among other things, is essential to load-balancing the UK’s electricity grid – the UK now having the most expensive industrial electricity prices in the developed world)…
..That was before the Trump administration embarked on Operation Epic Clusterfuck, the attempt to destroy the USA and its allies by creating a massive energy shock that will end the US dollar’s role as the global reserve currency. As with 1927 and 2005, the current energy shock may not instantaneously collapse the western financial system. But as with those two shocks, the world is again contending with a massive private debt overhang – particularly across the so-called ‘shadow banking’ system – which is likely to produce a crash far bigger than anything we have seen previously. More worryingly, this time around there is no new energy source – not even one as weak as fracking – waiting in the wings to bail the system out. https://consciousnessofsheep.co.uk/2026/03/19/a-storm-is-coming/Gold & Geopolitics, Selling the future to survive the present – Silver edition
Silver is down 25% this month. Gold is off 13%. The world’s largest gas field just got bombed. Energy infrastructure is burning across the Gulf. Central banks have been stacking gold for three years straight. The structural case for precious metals has never – and I mean never – been more obvious.
So naturally, we’re selling…
..The Gulf states are hemorrhaging oil and gas revenue. Their infrastructure is on fire – sometimes literally.
So what do you do when your income stream evaporates overnight? You sell your nest egg. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE accumulated gold (and silver) during the good times. Now those sovereign wealth machines need dollars to keep their populace from revolting. Time to liquidate something. Gold and silver sitting in those portfolios are the most liquid assets they have. Out they go.
They bought gold for a rainy day. It’s pouring now…
..A lot of leveraged money was sitting in … well … in about everything, but let’s go with oil and energy. Now that made perfect sense before gas fields started to spontaneously combust but stopped very quickly after. When those blow up – and I’m not talking about gas here anymore – you don’t get to choose what you sell. You sell whatever is liquid. Whatever is profitable. Gold and silver at January’s prices qualified on both counts. The precious metals dump isn’t people wanting to sell those. It’s people having to sell to cover positions they can no longer hold. Forced liquidation…
..Wars have a long and distinguished history of arriving at moments of extreme financial stress – stress that then conveniently gets attributed to the war rather than to the underlying rot… I’m just saying that the pattern exists, and it’s plausible enough to mention, and whoever benefits from the distraction usually benefits quite a lot…
..If this doesn’t push governments, companies, and ordinary people toward energy independence – off-grid, distributed, or at least not-dependent-on-a-field-that-can-be-bombed – nothing will. No geopolitical argument, no climate report, no economist’s model has ever made the case as viscerally as those missiles flying around.
And every single one of those alternatives runs on silver.
Solar panels? Needs silver for the photovoltaic cells – and no reasonable substitute exists at scale. EVs? They need it for their electronics. Grid storage, fast chargers, the entire electrical infrastructure being hastily bolted together as the world panics about the Middle East being, let’s say, temporarily unavailable.
All of it silver-intensive, and all of it non-negotiable… This war turbocharges the case for silver…
..I’m not calling the bottom. No1 can do that. Silver could test $60 before this reverses. The margin calls aren’t done, the GCC liquidation isn’t done, and the Fed isn’t turning around tomorrow… This time I’m buying into a 25% monthly crash while missiles are still in the air. Picked up a small position in SILJ today – just toes in the water, nothing heroic. https://no01.substack.com/p/selling-the-future-to-survive-theGold & Geopolitics, Diplomatic Impunity – God help us all.
Ali Larijani was killed in his daughter’s home on a Tuesday morning. His son alongside him. A residential area in the outskirts of eastern Tehran levelled in the strike. Iranian state TV confirmed it before sunrise. He was, by most accounts, the last senior Iranian official who could pick up a phone to a European foreign minister and be taken seriously. Parliament Speaker for twelve years. Chief nuclear negotiator. PhD in Western philosophy. Wrote books on Kant.
No1’s left anymore to negotiate…
..The Oman FM published an op-ed this week. He said that the United States has “lost control of its foreign policy” to Israel. He was in the room for the February breakthrough. He confirmed the deal was real. Britain’s national security adviser Jonathan Powell confirmed the Geneva sessions were producing genuine progress. “We regarded Witkoff and Kushner as Israeli assets that dragged a president into a war he wants to get out of”, a UK diplomat told the Guardian.
The people who could have stopped this have all been eliminated, one by one, on a nine-month schedule. Haniyeh. Shamkhani. The Doha negotiation team. The Oman breakthrough. Larijani now. What you’re watching is not a war that diplomacy failed to prevent. It is a war that was repeatedly kept alive by killing the diplomats.
..Simplicius put it concisely enough that I’ll just quote the frame: Israel’s strategy is running on two tracks simultaneously. Kill the moderates to guarantee that only hardliners remain. Strike Iran’s most sensitive sites to guarantee that Iran retaliates against Gulf infrastructure, dragging the whole region into a fire large enough to force the world to “finish Iran off”. The South Pars strike this week – on the facility that powers 75-80% of Iran’s electricity grid – and the immediate Iranian retaliation against Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG hub, were not accidents. They were that strategy, executing…
..South Pars and Qatar’s North Field are essentially the same geological reservoir. One reservoir, with a border running right through the middle. Iran calls its half South Pars. Qatar its North Field. They share the same rock. The same methane. When Israel struck South Pars phases, it struck the geological twin of the installation that supplies 20% of global LNG exports and keeps European households from freezing. Qatar called it “dangerous and irresponsible”. Qatar – which, according to Reuters, has privately been pressing Washington to “finish the job” on Iran – is now watching its own gas facility burn as a direct consequence of the escalation it was encouraging…
..Some engineers are saying the damage may be irreparable. I don’t know if that’s true yet. But even partial damage to Ras Laffan on top of the production suspension since March 2 is not a problem you fix with a maintenance crew and three weeks. You fix it – if you even can – in years…
..Trump’s response on Truth Social was to simultaneously claim the US knew nothing about the South Pars strike, blame Israel for striking it, and then threaten to “blow up the entire South Pars” if Iran retaliates against Qatar again…
..The medium term is where it gets structural. A third of global seaborne fertiliser trade transits the Strait of Hormuz. China halted NPK fertiliser exports and extended its phosphate suspension through August. India requested emergency urea from China – denied. The nitrogen and phosphate that was supposed to go into the soil across the northern hemisphere’s planting season is not going in. Not this spring. The biological window for spring application in most of Europe and North America runs through May. It’s March 19. The war has no end in sight.
Case in point: Sri Lanka… One season of synthetic fertiliser ban in 2021. Rice production dropped 40%. Prices surged. The government fell. That was one country, one policy decision, reversed within months. What’s happening now is that that same constraint is applied simultaneously to the global seaborne supply, with no reversal in sight, across the single most important planting window of the year…
..Joe Kent, who ran the National Counterterrorism Center until his resignation Monday, said there was no imminent threat and that Israel drove the decision. The casus belli is dissolving in public, on the record, while the war continues anyway.
The Gulf states who privately demanded escalation are now burning. https://no01.substack.com/p/march-16-19-diplomatic-impunityTrump Eyes Boots On The Ground Along Hormuz Shoreline https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-eyes-boots-ground-along-hormuz-shoreline
Iran Ready To Let Japanese Ships Use Hormuz As Chinese, Indian Tankers Already Allowed Passage
Late on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the nation was prepared to facilitate passage for Japanese vessels through the Strait of Hormuz after consultations between the countries’ officials, according to Kyodo News.
“We have not closed the strait. It is open,” Araghchi said in a telephone interview with Kyodo News on Friday. He also stressed that Iran, which was attacked by the United States and Israel in late February, is seeking “not a cease-fire, but a complete, comprehensive and lasting end to the war.” https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/iran-ready-let-japanese-ships-use-hormuz-chinese-indian-tankers-already-allowed-passageTrump Rating Hits All-Time Low With FRIENDLY Pollster as War Opposition Amongst 2024 Trump Voters Doubles.

In 2023, JPMorgan Chase was forced to hand over its own internal files on Jeffrey Epstein as part of a lawsuit brought by his victims. The bank’s lawyers compiled a twenty-three-page summary of what they found.
It was meant to assess legal risk.
But the files show that Epstein was effectively running one of the world’s biggest banks from the outside. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/switchboard-operatorTrump unveils federal AI framework blocking state regulations – New national policy aims to prevent state-level AI laws amid industry warnings https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/trump-unveils-federal-ai-framework-blocking-state-regulations

Spokesperson of the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya:
— The terrorist president of US, continuing his aggressive behavior and global destabilization, has threatened that if Iran does not open the Strait of Hormuz, he will target Iran’s power plants.
— We have repeatedly said that the Strait of Hormuz is only closed to the enemy and harmful traffic; it has not been completely closed yet and is under our intelligent control, and harmless passage under specific conditions ensures our security and interests.
— However, if the US threats regarding Iran’s power plants are implemented, the following punitive actions will be taken immediately:
1. The Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed and will not be reopened until the destroyed power plants are rebuilt.
2. All power plants, energy infrastructure, and information and communication technology (ICT) of the Zionist regime will be extensively targeted.
3. All similar companies in the region with American shareholders will be completely destroyed.
4. Power plants of regional countries hosting US bases will be legitimate targets
— Everything is ready for the great jihad aimed at the complete destruction of all US economic interests in the West Asia region

Gilbert Doctorow, Last days of the Putin regime? With forcible incarceration of dissidents in psychiatric hospitals Putin has taken over the relay race of Sovietism from Brezhnev https://gilbertdoctorow.substack.com/p/last-days-of-the-putin-regime-with
Very bad sad news if true.
Very black mark against Mr Doctorow if false.
So which is it? Is Putin jailing his critics into psychiatric disappearance camps?
I think the black arrow of Zionist bullshit propaganda hits Doctorow amidships because his claim is NOT true.
From a quick question to CoPilot AI,“There is a real case — the Ilya Remeslo incident — in which a pro‑Kremlin figure who suddenly denounced Putin was placed in a psychiatric facility. This is confirmed by Reuters and multiple mainstream outlets, not just Doctorow.
However, there is no evidence that this single case signals “last days of the Putin regime,” nor that Putin has revived Soviet‑scale punitive psychiatry. Human‑rights groups have documented a limited but growing pattern of psychiatric measures used against dissenters since the Ukraine war began — but the scale remains far smaller than in the Brezhnev era.”Not the first timne Gilbert has visibly leaned the wrong way on Zionist-linked issues. NOBODY gets a free pass these days. Not Putin, not Doctorow, and not even me.
I’m in the part of the new Covid where I’ve made my point and am backing up to wait, taking sniper shots.
Don’t forget the Duran. Totally wrong about everything four months ago, and they’re actually far, far more moderate and accurate than the Fox News constellation. 4 months and their predictions are so far off they’re out of the park. And here we are…
Day Nine of requesting any evidence about Trump and Epstein to make me take the walk of shame. Said 20 ways every day. It strengthens your case and reputation to make stuff and lie every day, I guess. New AI pics of things that never happened and can’t — Now nothing but pics of carriers sinking, mines floating, Trump with Al Capone and Ghengis Khan. You think it isn’t affecting you, but it is. Half the pics you’re seeing of Israel being bombed are AI. That doesn’t mean they’re not bombed and intact, it means you’re internalizing mass quantities of false information.
This is the Bot Wars 2.0, AI edition. I’d think people would be at least a LITTLE careful, a LITTLE annoyed about it. Nope. Enthusiastic about the opportunity to have new, entirely fake diet. 6 carriers were sunk only this week: still use the same source with vigor and pride when they find out it’s hilariously, completely false. They looked a fool in public by forwarding it.
I can’t help you with that. I’ve made my point. If everything you read and forward is false, then yes, nothing you read or think is going to make any sense. Yes, then you end with the Enemy’s bidding with HATE. “Let the hate FLOW through you, YESSS!!!” — Voice of the Angels.
You don’t have to believe me – in fact, don’t – but I point out daily that the story and argument is baldly irrational and self-contradictory. That is, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to be true. Bring it up hour after hour that “Reality Exists.” No effect.
Trump class battleship: “They would not be able to patrol close to shore unthreatened.”
As here. That’s true of ALL navies, EVER, but definitely since WWI and WWII, 100 years ago. What do you mean? Even a dork and normie like AsmonGold pointed this out to you last week. Carriers have a support defense team. As do most navies. I know nothing, just made up in my mind we send carriers solo, no ships, those carriers have never been threatened in the history of Earth ‘til now, and so on.
I think building these ships are dumb. But the arguments around them are dumber. They exist to HATE. I don’t want facts, I want HATE. Hate is good, it is my goal. HATE the U.S. and every living thing in it. Really? Not accuracy? Go on then.
“Iran Ready To Let Japanese Ships Use Hormuz As Chinese, Indian Tankers Already Allowed Passage
Straits are open. Oil is fungible. If it gets out anywhere, it gets out everywhere. A barrel in Japan stops competing with a barrel in Copenhagen. Therefore, any barrel to ANYONE, reduces Iran’s leverage and attention. That can’t be helped. Iran needs the money, they can’t go cold. That can’t be helped.
Thus, no mines. Iran didn’t shut the Strait. London did.
Those ships that don’t have drinking water: shipping industry people say they’ll move them if you pay them enough.
Also note: rowboats have been invented. Soooo…explain?
A: It’s the Media. So it’s a lie. Not that there isn’t some truth! But the implied reality? It’s a lie. They’re trapped in ice like Shackleton. We’re going to row out to them at last in 2028 and they’ll be skeletons. If only we had invented radio!!
It’s a problem. A serious, s—tty problem. We’ll solve it. It’s really, really small in the scheme of things. We have to stop the war because we don’t know what “Rowboats” and “water bottles” are. Use your head.

“Iran Shocks The World: First Long Range Missiles Target US-UK Diego Garcia Base 4,000km Away
Great. What does this show? If Iran had a nuclear ICBM they’d be happy to use it. On anyone, or Europe. Is that really the message they wish to send?
So we should stop fighting and let them build one, right?
They have attacked all their neighbors and not just the U.S. The pan Gulf States should let them, right? This proves Iran had goodwill all along that they made no special distinction between S.A. and our bases there. Iran destroys all Europe (with gas) and makes no special effort, who are painfully neutral and not in the war. They also do NOT attack the U.S. So Iran were the crazies people said they were and not as moderate as, e.g. I myself believed. Thanks Iran, cleared that up for us.
…But you know my opinion on this: Iran is not a monolith. It has crazies embedded there at key nexus points. …Just as we ourselves do too. Who is directing the puppets inserted at those gateways, there or here?
“Iran Fires Missiles at Remote U.K.-U.S. Base, Claiming Long-Range Capabilities It Previously Denied Tehran claimed the strike demonstrated capabilities for long-distance attacks, with Diego Garcia the same distance from Iran as much of central Europe. NBC News”
So….Iran has been lying all along. Like during negotiations.
“Iran War Mind Games /Lt Col Daniel Davis”
Davis seems to be the one entirely captured. Iran has taken no damage and is invading Savannah and surrounding the Pentagon. As WES says, It’s shocking the plane losses are low, the deaths are in low 1,000? No ships sunk, and we’re apparently using defenseless Apaches and A-10s to strafe drones at will in Iranian territory. Using non-explosive rockets to stop them, so there is no additional risk to civilians below.

““Kent resigned this week in flamboyant fashion, rationalizing his stunt with hyper-conspiratorial, antisemitic rhetoric better suited for a Code Pink rally than government letterhead.”
Don’t think so. Whut? Lots may have happened and I don’t get it, but not that. Kent called into a radio show last night, go listen to him personally. There is a sub-plot tho. WHAT is happening? First thing Kent says is he wasn’t allowed to investigate any counter-terrorism at all. None. Locked out 100% by Kash.
Kash, who can’t investigate ANYTHING now has endless time to investigate Trump officials. Mueller? Nope. Comey? Nope. The 500 unreleased names from Epstein who definitely killed himself? Nope. Trashing all evidence that would have released J6 from illegal cases? No way. Kent, and Trump’s administration are A-1 top hold the phone priority to investigate tho.
Riiiiiight. Kash, who thinks a soy-tran could disassemble a Mauser on a roof (apparently this is the one gun that’s practically un-workable in that regard, BEYOND that it wouldn’t be accurate) shoots a bullet the size and speed of a split pea, won’t let anyone in the courtroom, only has eyes for Kent. Riiiiiiight.
That won’t black mark the Trump admin at all, Trump who said not a bad word on his leaving.
What else is in the dot map? Tulsi is immediately targeted for massive attack and removal the day after. That is, the Tulsi who ALSO demanded to investigate Kirk.
Funny ol’ world!! The only TWO who tried to look into Kash, Kirk, and ISRAEL. Hmmmm. Good thing I’m a coincidence theorist and everything is an accident or I’d be suspicious.
So Kent can leave and be anti-war, spotlight on Israel and THEN follow up with tracking down Kash + Israel from another angle. He’s not going to the beach. All this is AFTER Rubio says on world TV that Israel blackmailed Trump and that caused the war. Yeah, I don’t see why Trump would be mad about people f—king him over a table and want to take revenge by leveling Israel and their agents here. Heavens no! He’s not mad at all! He’s known for being a very, very not mad, extremely forgiving fellow.
That’s as far as they’ve gotten on guessing about Kent. Like most things, can’t comprehend the row about it. He resigned. People do. BFD.
Watch: this was all counter-attacked. They are bot-attacking BOTH Kent AND Trump. AND Tulsi. So the entire Right is being engineered to all attack each other, ignore Antifa and Rice who says she’ll kill us all, and hand that nation back to Globalists in Europe. No thanks. I don’t know how this isn’t painfully obvious. None of it is real. They’re all paid or channeled.
Okay, man, you stand on the big “X” that has a cartoon anvil above it and wonder what happened. None if it is real. Always shoot allies. Never shoot enemies. Right.
“• Robert Mueller Dies. Trump’s Reaction Was VERY Trump. (Matt Margolis)
Meuller was crooked every day of his career and ran hit jobs for the FBI using Whitey Bulger. You need someone whacked for the government? Call Mueller. Then he was a traitor, overturning the electoral will of the American people for nothing he could find. Just ‘cause “death to all Democracy” the unelected FBI is President. Since 1960. Now rub it in our face. And when he dies we’re supposed to be NICE, when he was actually supposed to be hung while we all watched, and THEN we were supposed to say what a swell guy he was?
Okay, I agree it’s not presidential, but get a grip. Charlie Manson. Glad he’s dead. Jeffrey Dahlmer. Glad he’s dead. Probably killed and ruined a fraction of the people Mueller did, and at a far lower level.
We can’t Win! We have to be “Nice” instead. Shoot all allies who dare shoot the enemy. That’s not “Nice”.
