Ironic that the Fake Trump Impeachment Circuses of yesteryear that Trump himself has failed to prosecute for the past year are going to directly lead to a Real Impeachment after this Fall’s crushing mid-term defeat.

#1 Tanker Passage Through Hormuz Halted As Iran Accuses Israel
#2 WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange tells Megyn Kelly that the reason his organization has never released any damaging materials on President Trump is that “There is no dirt to release on Donald Trump.”
He is probably the most squeaky clean individual in WashingtonIf Trumptard is so “squeaky clean” he should have ZERO problems telling Israel to Stand Down on attacking Lebanon to continue the ‘ceasefire’ with Iran.
If he can’t it shows Israel has DIRT ON HIM.
My money is on Israel continuing to sabotage any peace deal with Iran and Trumpturd standing there with his limp impotent dick in his hands and moar lies coming out of his mouth about it.

ParticipantBecause nobody realizes Treaties and Contracts have to be “Signed”, we’ve now completely surrendered to Iran, they now run the world, and we’ve handed them the keys to the White House. Honest! I saw it from the same reputable sources that said 12 of our carriers were sunk. (we have 5 active). And million men landed in Kharg to hold the straits…when Kharg is further from the straits than Madrid is to Moscow. (probably kidding there.)
We know all this is true because oil did nothing, dollar did nothing, Euro did nothing, Pound did nothing, Dow went UP, gold went DOWN. Definitely the final end and collapse of an Empire then, I rest my case.
So I figure we’ll be broken up into provinces by Tuesday, and by Friday China will have landed and have a billion men in L.A. …Equally plausible to what I hear every hour right now.
Anyway, wrote to say Huh? Silver moved 10% again? $70 to $77?? (and now down, $74.) Wow, that hurt someone. And no one folds, nothing happens.
“Stocks, precious metals, heck the entire financial system except oil, is ripping higher today on announcements of a two-week cease-fire between the US, Iran and Israel.”
What’s truly incredible is that the markets knew this was coming. As I wrote two days ago, high yield credit which typically leads stocks was forecasting a move by the S&P 500 to the mid-6,700s. Two days later, stocks are hitting that level and then some.
I hope this experience has proven profitable for you. I do my best to alert our clients of opportunities in the markets when I see them. This was a BIG one. The entire media and most of the folks on social media were forecasting doom and gloom in regard to the situation in Iran. But my analysis made it clear to me that stocks were setting up for an explosive bounce. And I’ve been pounding the table on that since 3/31/26.
So where do we go from here?
As I’ve been outlining for the last two weeks, inflation is back courtesy of the energy shock from the conflict in Iran. Even if this cease fire holds and the war is officially over, inflation will persist for several months going forward.
And the markets know it.
The ratio between Gold and the S&P 500 remains in a clear uptrend….”
The Explosive Bounce Is Here — And What Comes Next Will Surprise You

https://gainspainscapital.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/GPC48263.png“Federal Appeals Court Allows Pentagon To Designate Anthropic As A Supply-Chain Risk

“Will Europe Have Its Own FBI? Polish MEP Sounds Alarm Over EU’s Planned Expansion Of Powers For Europol
Well the FBI was created to collet dirt and blackmail politicians, so definitely. Occasionally they arrest a crime as long as it’s not about children.
“Iran’s PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH”
Okay, so MAPS! Are a thing. Most of the straits are owed NOT by Iran.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Hormuz#/media/File:Strait_of_hormuz_full.jpgSo what they’re “Shutting off” and “Tollboothing” everyone is defending is NOT THEIR WATERS. It’s like Canada deciding they’re going to shut off Seattle. So Iran is INVADING the territorial waters of the Gulf States (for piracy, let’s ignore that for now) and everyone is defending it.
Yes, we’re all focused on the Reality that as two neighbor states, defacto is that they can shut what’s 5 miles from them. Yes. But we’re moving into the details. SO IF you want to give Iran this right, then Iran just invaded a neighbor state(s) and is going to annex them permanently.
This kind of obvious s—t is what I’ve been screaming about for 40 days. So EVERY. EXPERT. Couldn’t be arsed? I mostly respond to THEM. I only have time to Devil’s Advocate THEIR raving lunacy. It’s paid people like Luongo or NYT that follow the source material.
So. That’s it? Iran just actively annexes countries that aren’t theirs now? As a gambit to annex MORE once they get billions a year in transit fees? No? Then why were they bombing the nations themselves and not just the U.S. bases there like Day 5? It demonstrates their intent and feeling about all neighbors. We were at peace talks with them since 2016, with Abraham Accord. And what’ever you might think of that, it meant ALL M.E. nations were SERIOUSLY talking. We had a peace with Saudi and Iran. Both BRIICS. First ever! (modern)
But Iran gets a nuke, and Saudi doesn’t have an offsetting one? Yeah, no. So if that’s true, then you all want MBS nuked up? And if Saudi has one, shouldn’t Turkey, Egypt, Jordan? It’s only fair.
Oh “Israel has one”. Yeah, we’re still sore AF about that too. But your solution is EVERYONE to jump off a bridge? We’re trying to or will get the nukes from Israel too, you SEE what kind of problem that makes for the world. Israel is being flattened, their people leaving, so we’ll have another gambit to pull theirs too some years from now. Then NO ONE has any. If that goes well, we can dump ours too – who knows if they work anyway.
So the plan here is Iran has the right to invade their neighbors and that’s a Human Rights value for Fox News and the Duran now? I mean, it’s realpolitik, but I think we usually say no. If that’s fair because “Strong countries do what they want” then Okay, fine. The US and Israel are strong and do what we want then. Like it now?
C’mon guys.
“VDH: Trump kicked China out of Latin America and Russia from the Middle East.
True. This happened. But because it’s real, the chessboard is different, we ignore it and talk about things that DIDN’T happen, like Day 21 of No Epstein-Trump link. But plenty more memes on it! Easiest win ever! Page number, please?
“Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has reportedly uncovered a DEEP STATE COUP PLOT to remove President Trump from office by SABOTAGING his war effort in Iran in order to turn the American people and the US military against him.”
No s—t. Turn on ANY human who speaks and you’ll hear utterly deranged untrue talking points on this. It’s the same fake bulls—t media as Covid, but twice as loud. And everybody’s falling for it. Like Covid, I’m not saying it’s not dangerous. Not that it’s not happening. But everything THEY say in public is false.
People lie for a REASON. That reason is to SCREW YOU. Stop helping.
“There is no dirt to release on Donald Trump.”
This seems implausible, so let me tell you why. Back in the day, Trump was young guy working in the same tank with the 5 mafia families of NYC. But to take them down, they needed a guy who interacted but couldn’t be blackmailed by them. So Prosecutors, etc like Guilani ran interference to MAKE SURE Trump could be squeaky clean, in order to be able to collect the info and make the cases that did, indeed, take out the 5 families. So it’s not “Trump is a swell guy” he was specifically PUT in this position BY the power people around him. Here’s part Two: They know it. So the FBI knows, the CIA knows, the governor, Mueller, etc all know. So when they say he’s “dirty NJ Casino Deals” they’re lying. They know they’re lying. So they are AGAINST the clean people who stop mafias and therefore?
Yes they are FOR the mafias and crime, and blackmail. Like Bannon being in the Epstein files, strategizing with him. Against Trump. Then come out like Candace Owens and call for impeachment. Great! The true GOP “Right”. With loyalty like that how can you lose to dick-chopping child-raping commies?
“• Tanker Passage Through Hormuz Halted As Iran Accuses Israel (ZH)
Of course they did. No one is serious here. Too bad all the pundits say the unconditional surrender of the United States was already signed. Guess there’s nothing we can do now.
“10 Point Plan…the plan that Trump said was a workable basis on which to negotiate.”
Oh wait! Facts??? Yes, this decides which piece of paper they print on the desk you sit at. Aaaaaaaand that means? A: Precisely nothing. Absolutely, positively zero. We don’t have numbers that go that low. As it if never happened.
“The Petrodollar Breakdown is Real (GoldFix)
So us bombing Iran on Saudi’s behalf is not “Supporting the Petrodollar”. Got it. We are the only nation there, so that means “We’ve abandoned security”. …In #Oppositeland. I mean, sure, maybe, but you’re not making a rational case with those words.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if there’s a war on, damage to repair, and no fresh revenue coming in this week, then you’d….tap the savings account? That’s what it’s for? Not according to this guy. “Call” for a “Statement”.
“Markets are trading this as a TACO Tuesday.”
Still on it, this time with Sargon and the Lotus Eaters. Also TACO.
Works like this: “Trump you’re a blowhard, you ain’t gonna do nothin’.”
Trump: “Okay I’ll bomb you then.”
“What are you doing, you maniac!?? Why are you attacking me and getting more leverage? Stop!”
Trump: “Okay, I’ll stop then.”
“Trump is a TACO. He never bombs anyone. He always chickens out.”
Trump: “Okay I’ll bomb you then.”
“What are you doing, you maniac!?? Why are you attacking me and getting more leverage? Stop!”
Over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over. And over.
“Chickening out” means “Bombing people all the time.” That’s what words mean now. All even here, same thing. Trump’s a warmonger, bombing girl’s schools all the time because he always backs down and chickens out.
What. The. Literal. Has gotten into everybody?
So he bombs, he loses. Got it. And if he doesn’t bomb he ALSO surrenders and loses.
Look guys, I’m clearly not a genius, but I DO know that a “Thing and its Opposite are not the Same.” So WHYYY do I have to say that day after day for years now? Saying so is very clearly madness, pure insanity, and it just keeps going.
I’ll bite: which is it today? Did Trump lose because Iran is leveled, or we lost because he STOPPED leveling?
If so, then the only logical answer is to keep bombing. That’s what I hear from that.
“Iran claimed it will still take tolls from Hormuz with Oman, adding that only 10-15 ships per day can pass, a tiny fraction of normal flows. Is that the “full reopening” of Hormuz”
Oh, so Oman gets 90% and Iran 10%? How does that work? It’s not Iranian waters.
“Full reopening”. Yes, the POINT of the “bridges n’ Civilization” was to get Iran BACK to talking. That’s it. …Not that he wouldn’t have done it. I don’t care HOW we get back to talking or what paper you put on the desk because I’m going to drop it in the trash anyway, but that we ARE talking. DumDum is a NEGOTIATOR. That’s what he wants and where he’s comfortable. So Iran is trying to undermine him with the limited ships so Trump has to overlook that to have the peace talks. All aggravating, but normal. Especially if you’re losing AF like Iran is. Again: Can we beat Iran? No. But Iran is already Yemen and irrelevant. Taking out the power lines means the IRGC can ride camels. That’s not good for their war plans.
It’s all about getting them TO the table. Seriously. That’s the whole week here; simple. Everyone lost their minds about the simplest one-sentence fact ever.
“China Facilitated US-Iranian Ceasefire – AP (TASS)
Glad to hear it. China’s geopolitical power hinges on an operational Iran. Note: we have NOT blown Kharg, even as we also haven’t bombed Tel Aviv for dicking with the Pars field again. We can bomb anything we feel like, even in Downtown Tehran, 1,000 miles away. But if we do CHINA will be off oil for 2+ years. So I don’t care if no oil transits, and it’s time China did, and stopped arranging piracy to get wholesale oil but paid retail.
The Retail price profit goes to the people of Iran, which everyone is sad about, I guess. They WANT China operating factories at a 30% discount and no money flowing to the Persian Middle Class. Those are the tangible actions everyone’s been choosing, don’t deny it now.
“• US Suffered Major Strategic Defeat In Failed Isfahan Operation (Press TV)
I saw this posted. Okay, but WTF. I can post the script of a Marvel movie too, and it’s about as real.

There are scum everywhere. Toss a rock at any government and +90% chance of hitting one. Surprise! He’s scum and his opponents are scum, just like D-R, here.
“flagrantly unconstitutional action. Bellows is touting her removal of Trump from the ballot,”
Derangement is not over. But has mostly women now. That helps ring-fence it a lot because they SOUND like the violent, impotent, deranged lunatics they are.
“Over 50% of Americans are satanists?”
This is everywhere and what I keep being rude about. Let’s add the other quote here: “The Right thinks the Left is Mistaken. The Left thinks the Right are Evil.” Born evil. And so do all the Fox News watchers now too! They think their own Right and All America are Evil and should be shot on sight too! Nice! That’s a 2/3rds vote for national suicide, I’m sure nobody benefits from that instead of discussion and reform, right?

“• Xi Jinping Carries Out Record-Breaking Punishments Inside CCP (JTN)
It is SAID, Britain (or the “West”) are pulling all their assets to take China. As Xi locked them out, this was supposed to be the Pirate ship they hid on while the West burned. Then UAE/Dubai. Both got locked. So having nothing else they have activated under-weak assets and getting exposed, then shot. I have no idea, but the theory is very plausible. There are variations in CCP itself that are not “Western” as well, so it’s probably less than 30-30-30. Like Xi 60, locals 25, Westerns 15.
That’s why the West” WANT instability and cutting off China, it will weaken their moderate enemy, Xi. So if Venezuelan oil continues to China, that’s BAD for MI6 Plans. Cheeto just wants them to pay full price for a far larger flow, which is fine.
Problems these day is, yes I can’t prove it. We can’t even get solid facts about whether 10 carriers were sunk today. But at least IT’S NOT INSANE. Maybe we can start with theories that begin there.

copilot said:🚢 How many ships transited the Strait of Hormuz on 09 April 2026?
➡️ Between 4 and 7 ships in the past 24 hours
Different maritime analytics sources report slightly different counts, but all agree traffic is extremely low:
– 6 ships (1 oil products tanker + 5 dry bulk carriers) passed in the last 24 hours, per Financial Express
– 4 ships with active AIS passed, per Kpler data reported by Arab Times
– 7 ships passed, per ABC News analysis (April 8–9 window)
These numbers are consistent: only a handful of ships are getting through.📌 Why the numbers differ
Each source measures slightly differently:
– Some count only AIS‑visible ships
– Some include bulk carriers using Iran’s coastal “toll booth” route
– Some include ships whose AIS briefly disappears (“dark” or disrupted signals)
But all confirm the same reality:
Traffic is at a near standstill.🧭 Context for 09 April
– Iran says the strait is “open,” but all ships must liaise due to mines, slowing movement dramatically.
– Tanker traffic remains effectively halted, with no oil or LNG carriers observed.
– Only bulk carriers are moving, mostly Chinese‑ and Greek‑owned.✅ Bottom Line for 09 April
Only 4–7 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz today.
This is 3–5% of normal traffic, which used to be 130+ ships per day.
