Botticelli The Calumny of Apelles 1495 • Oil Plummets As NATO Mulls Hormuz Deployment If Strait Not Open By July (ZH) • Thomas Massie Loses His Primar
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 20 2026]All things are Ukraine now. What Iran? We never talked about Iran. Is something going on in Iran? Alex2, Duran, Johnson, Meirshiemer, Ritter, Wolff. Huh. That was quick. I wonder why?
“Lawrence Wilkerson: Trump-Xi Meeting After U.S. Defeat in Iran” Glenn Diesen
It seems that China gave everything to the Loser, the United States, and nothing to the winner, Iran. How odd. Why would China do that? Everyone rallies around the loser, I guess, and rushes to sign multi-billion dollar trade deals with them and 200 jets.
“Iran’s ‘Finger on the Trigger’ as War Enters Most DANGEROUS Phase | Mohammad Marandi”
Definitely not the most dangerous, as Iran has no missiles left. Ever-less dangerous by the hour. There have to be two sides for there to be a war.
“Col. Jacques Baud: Israel COLLAPSES After Trump’s Final Card” — Dima, DialogueWorks.
Yup, Israel has ceased to exist, and when you go there, there’s just blank screen, like in Minecraft before anything is built. This doesn’t “change everything.” It’s not “happening.” There is no “secret local housewives” and the Illuminaughty have not been keeping it from you.” Just another day of everyone reading emails and flapping their gums.
You’ll be happy to know Mercouris says selling 200 jets plus food and oil, and signing understandings on all five Iranian points, and declaring intent not to buy Iranian oil anymore, is “Coming back empty handed.” His internal emotional feelz, discovered using DonaldTelepathy, is to “Lash out” and “Project Strength” to counteract this failure back at home. So how many jets would have to sell to be a “win” Alex? 200 is too few? 2,000? 2 Million? A billion-million jets.
Alex has also done a comprehensive inventory of all Army and Naval hardware and we are out of ammunition, while Iran has more bombs than when they started, so it’s good everyone across the Atlantic agrees as one mind on this.
I have to tell you as an outsider, I am going to write my Congressman about the US Army letting every pundit on earth into our bases and ships to take inventory. This is becoming a real national security issue.
The only answer here — Alex says — is for the U.S. to have a multi-million man land invasion to accomplish – handwaving here – something, not sure, so therefore Iran won and Trump is looking for an off-ramp. This is because Donald’s purpose in life is to open the straits on behalf of Europe, who do nothing for themselves, and who will then buy oil from Iran and not Texas, and Donald’s goal for the country is to NOT sell things and NOT get rich.
Thanks! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lOGxx0WvY74
See, Donald was trying to be an obedient slave and puppet of Europe for no reason at all, but the dummy can’t even do that right! Can you believe? There are a ton of these, one from each talking head, Johnson, Wilkerson, Ritter, so I’ll spare you.
Alex C was on the weekend about Ukraine (what Iran??) and says Russia better listen to him and attack everybody in total war if they know what’s good for them! Everyone is Russia is an idiot and Putin is a retard. They have to attack EVERYONE, every minute, all the way out to Portugal, just agreeing with PCR here on Shock and Awe.
So I have no idea why the Kremlin doesn’t surrender and hand the country over to Alex who can run it and all the wars so much better. Weird. Next genius, pretty obviously they last attack was the one slated for Victory Day, but was put off by the “ceasefire”. Which shows that Trump can influence Ukraine, we have leverage of some sort.
This means that the U.S. runs the war and is the only actor here. So Russia talks to Trump and asks him to lay leverage down on Ukraine and Europe. THerefore the only responsible party, the only person in the war is not Ukraine. Nope. Not Europe, who is actually building and bombing, nope. Not Russia, nope, which also clearly has influence. Nope.
The only person among the four who has any action or responsibility is the US. So “There is only ONE country in the world, and only ONE man in that country, Trump” Everything is his fault personally.
Yup. Again and again. So like, if you’re Europe, and out stabbing people personally AND paying others feelin’ stabby, no stabbings are your fault. It’s the OTHER guy, who didn’t STOP your stabbings — it’s all HIS fault. If he, you, can stop stabbings by going out every night like Batman, and you don’t, aren’t all the stabbings in the city then really your fault? And not the criminal stabbers? Well, I say sir! OF COURSE they are.
Having influence and leverage to shift a major drone attack by one day is NOT the same as being in control of the whole country. Or whole CONTINENT in this case. This eludes Alex, because then Europeans would have to be living beings with free agency, and not victims and puppets, which is unthinkable. Ah, you embarrass every Greek ever born, sir.
Welp! Since there is only one man and one country, Alex, I’m taking your advice and jsut surrendering to Trump, doing whatever he wants. That’s your own argument, and who am I to resist it? Only one nation matters: MINE. So do what I say! Gimme Santorini, I wants it. I’m going to put up a McDonald’s Mall there. Since we are the only nation that has will, action, and that matters, you have to do that now. Chop chop, coolie.
“Alastair Crooke : Israel’s War Unraveling America” –Judge Nepalitano.
Nope. Nothing is unraveling here. Nothing at all. It sucks, that’s nothing new, no other changes. He’s saying Democrats suddenly hate Republicans and the nation is divided as they deploy tanks on each other? Nope, that was Clinton and Janet Reno in 1993, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege then serial cases constantly thereafter. That sort of thing would be an “Unraveling”. That’s not happening now, or not any more than usual.
Maybe we SHOULD unravel, not sure. But “Just saying things” that “Squeeze out me bum” does not make it real unless you’re an “Expert” and “Get paid” to say such things by “Far left oligarchs” supporting the UK, like Mr. Murdoch with the full intent to “Demoralize,” Black Pill, and cause the U.S. to collapse into a mass-murdering Civil War, killing millions overnight as Deagle recommended. No thanks, Al. I’ll pass.
“Watch $134 Million Go Up In Smoke As Navy Jets Collide At Air Show
So. Proud. Of the showboating. That’s okay, I didn’t need that money anyway. That was about 1.5 million tanks of gas. ($4.50 x 20gal) Who needs that? 1:100 odds of getting a free tank of gas (133M households). I’d totally rather have a handful of fans get an air show instead of a free tank of gas. Almost like PGA Golf!
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” — D.D.Ike.Yes, Ike was a Double D. J Edgar was not.
“Software CEO Convicted In Massive $1 Billion Medicare Fraud Scheme Targeting Seniors
“This was not health care. It was a billion-dollar fraud machine…”How does this get to “A Billion”? For really, no one noticed before now? While all 50 States opine about their budgets and need more Federal money? Oversight on this is BOTH State AND Federal, BOTH police or audit forces are engaged. Uhhh...I take that everybody knew and didn’t want to get shot at their front door, like in Minnesota. And the money is planned, arranged, trained, tracked, offshored, and re-collected by the CIA, just like the CIA in Minnesota via Somali. The rogue CIA is the one shooting people, like Judges in D.C., the year before.
THAT is how you get to “A billion dollars.” I believe the Somalian government themselves said so, as in that example?
Speaking of fraud and war, I lost the specific vid, but Greg Mannarino is on about Trump, and I wanted to post it. Why? I disagree, but noted that Mannarino’s accusations are REAL. That so stood out, that I wanted to forward and present it. Like the Trump Phone (god knows) the insider trading, the CBDC, etc. as well as the war, but the war for specific REASONS. What does that mean that it so stood out? Well, that like all impeachments (including Clinton’s) all usual accusations for 12 years are totally spurious and unreal or untrue. And so with all the stuff they accuse Trump of that you force me to counter each day I even FORGOT that I used to start each one in 2017 with “Why do you make me defend him?? Ugh!!” and it’s just become a habit because all accusations are false.
Greg is presenting accusations that are real. And good on him. Now I don’t know they couldn’t be defended in court – that’s why they make all the false ones, they’re way more salacious – but at least he’s not “Making s—t up” with every waking breath, and we can explore the charges, or disagree as good faith actors.
How has that become so rare it makes me write an essay on one guy saying one (normal) thing? Let’s tell the truth and prosecute people for actual crimes they actually commit, yes? Can we vow to do that from here?
This quote is purged from media, mostly showing in photo form, always interpreted and clipped in Google. I pried it out of AI:
“”If Iran completely surrendered today, admitted their Navy has been totally destroyed, their Air Force is gone, and their military completely leaves Tehran with weapons dropped and hands raised shouting ‘I surrender,’ and their leaders officially sign documents of total capitulation, the Fake News Media, including the failing New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and CNN, will headline that Iran had a masterful and brilliant victory over the United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!!”
This is clearly true, as I will look again today for everyone to say
the side with the Navy that’s sunk is the winner, and the side with the Navy that’s floating is the loser.
The guy with no men left on the field and no points on the board is who you surrender to, so Alex3 says. IF ONLY what Cheeto dumdum was saying wasn’t actually true. Sadly, it is, and I’ve been forced to say it for 70 days and I don’t wanna. PLEASE stop lying so I can stop correcting you and we can both move on to doing useful things.
““I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned Military attack”
What is this? Trump is running the war for the Gulf States, not Israel. Where is Israel, what Israel? Only the Gulf. We are the Muslim army, I guess?
““the Americans are still trying to tie the negotiations to end the war to the nuclear issue, which is against logic and Iran will not agree to it. The Americans must understand that Iran will in no way agree to an end to the war in return for nuclear commitments”.
“Iran has not and does not have any intention of building nuclear weapons, and this claim is just an excuse and deception by the Americans.”The illogic is yours sir. If there is no nuclear weapons, then it does not follow. Without weapons it is profoundly LOGICAL to give the Uranium you have no intention of using. It’s ONLY IF you DEFINITELY intend to use it that it becomes “Illogical” to give it up.
This is not “deception”, much of that though we have. That’s simple proof of your own actions. You’d rather have every Iranian die a fiery death than give up a pound of powder you yourself say you have literally no use for, now or ever. How does that make sense?
“Another Iranian Ship Breaks Through US Blockade Line”
One of 75. Be still my heart. And still hasn’t made it out again. Why bother? The POINT of ships is to go back and forth all day. We’ll just get you tomorrow, as there are unlimited trips you need to make. We aren’t sinking them, so if you park it in Pakistan, it’s the same as us shooting the rudder: Out of commission.
1/75th oil backing up in the wells, 1/75th of the annual revenue, 1/75th of the Armaments, 1/75th of the blackmail and allies. It’s a problem.
“I can see the Dems losing bitterly. What are their strengths? Not being Trump?
• Democrats Face Midterm Disappointment (Daniel McCarthy)It’s inexplicable that they haven’t got a platform years later. I mean, like I said, make up something the kids will vote for, and LIE. Just lie! That’s it. They won’t find out ‘til after. The whole party, machine top to bottom doesn’t seem to feel any need or urgency to stand for something or have policies. I think it was White who said, Once you start rigging elections, you focus on that, it works, and ignore your own party, the people, the policies, everything. I can’t imagine doing that – I’d still lie and play-act and make it up, but apparently this is true. I think Narcissists. Like it’s not fun unless they can grind you, rub your face in their dominance, the play acting is hateful to them in that way, much as the lie and act about other things constantly.
Anyway: Great! Keep going. Never stop.
“Randi Weingarten [Teachers Union] is prioritizing anti-Trump”
Their money comes from the governments ultimately. Shouldn’t they keep it down? Didn’t learn from PBS? Or should we just have Democrats create a “Fund the DNC” Bill in Congress directly? Taxpayers > Direct PAC.
“targeting people here legally through DACA, deporting them from the only country many have known as home,”
Actually DACA is still totally illegal, if anybody cares. Congress passes laws, not the President. There were what, four Congresses that took up the issue and decided to pass zero fixes to the law? That’s above every Congress since 1986 that didn’t take it up at all.
“reading scores were down last year in 83 percent of school districts where data was available. Math scores were down in 70 percent.”
As I say regularly, they’re worse at math and reading than previous generations of children where there were no schools at all. Kids in coal mines and logging camps learned to read constantly. Many read only the Bible and their Pa and could do both better than $50k/student/year cost.
“• Germany Fears Next Migration Wave (ZH)
Wait: Germany was mass-deporting (I dn’t believe them). So every migrant com come from central Africa, take a boat, land in Spain, go to Germany, be deported, in one huge disassembly line circle jerk. Perfect! All paid by taxpayers. Even more perfect! Let’s double it!
Twice as many Immigrants miserable, AND twice as many Citizens!
Today:
21 Congressmen win. Yes, but is that a GOOD thing? I hope so, but let’s not assume. The RINOs were so bad, living only to undermine the nation, that it’s hard not to improve on that. Also they’re for Trump. But is Trump good for America? What vision for America does he have? Rural Jeffersonian Democracy?
I’m not against it, but sure seems like he’d pave and industrialize everything and that’s not American.
“”She wasn’t just authorizing pardons,” [she was selling them] “To the tune of about $30 million.”
How? She’s not in the White House, near the staff.
“BIDEN BODY DOUBLE AJ BARRON JUST FLIPPED AND IS TURNING STATE’S EVIDENCE — EVERY SINGLE AUTOPEN PARDON AND ORDER WAS SIGNED BY A FUCKING ACTOR, NOT THE PRESIDENT,”
You better bring the receipts for that, that’s a huge allegation. Not that I don’t think it’s true. I think it’s far more likely than that Biden did it.
“[Inflation] The Democrats and the mainstream media refuse to tell the American people the truth.”
That’s not the Truth either. Biden Inflation was way over 15%, probably 20% at the peak. But not every month. Trump was indeed lower, but it never dropped, reversed, and is now yes 5% and rising.
“• Oil Plummets As NATO Mulls Hormuz Deployment If Strait Not Open By JulyWith what? A waterski boat? How many ships does the entire combined NATO have ex-US?
What would be funny is, would Iran sink them all, which would be hilarious. “July” so somehow, this is about running out the clock, letting Iran stall.
“• Comey’s Message to the Deep State: Run Out the Clock on Trump (Tim O’Brien)
Ding. And yet: 2 ½ YEARS of stall? In Iran? No way. By then Kash may have identified a critical hundred of you as well.
“Thomas Massie Loses His Primary Race (Salgado)
People with great instincts about this like Luongo (seem to be proven with MTG) don’t like and trust him. Sure, but I don’t see it. Clearly they do. But don’t make me guess, show me the FBI wiretaps on him, and don’t tell me you don’t. I’m totally sure every Congressman is wiretapped 6 layers deep. Without that, I can only take him as innocent and not obedient.
“Worst Congressman in the Republican Party. This shows what a totally dishonest”
Good then should be no problem pointing out WHERE he has been dishonest, right? No facts or details.
“It looks like a pretty established industry.
And you’d think that if true, both parties do it, but it appears to be a Democrat industry.”Good point, but we’re sure a number of GOP are total election frauds: McConnell and Graham particularly, but a lot of others too. But if you look, the digital machines etc are all owned/set by overwhelming DNC side. So they HAVE to be playing ball it would seem to get in against them.
There’s a second part, where a guy brings in his campaign director who sells his fraud with him, and he just “Wins elections” so what does the candidate know? Those hired guns go where people above THEM say, and yes, just for the money, but if say JD Rockefeller tells them not to join, work for that campaign, they won’t, being like Wall St sharks without principles, and make money elsewhere. Later, the Candidate suspects and finds out, and then what? Boots himself from office? The reason he’s cheating is the other candidate is too! This is the case of most, and I’d bet only the minority know all along and/or direct the fraud personally. Why would they?
“he declared the party had no real leader except Trump Derangement Syndrome.”The real signal here was that was completely true, they’re proud and loud about it, doubling down daily, yet they went on the attack for him saying what was clearly a fact. Pretty disturbing, actually, because I’m like “I don’t even know what lie you wanted Fetterman to stick to.” You’ve lost the plot when I can no longer even guess what the script is.
“his future inside the Democratic Party is already closed.”
So they’re bouncing a secure Congressman who’s “pro-choice, firmly behind legal marijuana, a committed supporter of LGBT rights, a staunch defender of SNAP benefits, and a reliable friend to organized labor” and “Overwhelmingly aligned”. Because…??? He won’t chop up children and collapse the US to hand to Iran? Those are some SERIOUSLY outlier positions. We just saw this today with the leaks from the BBC News editor. Bounced because ANY equality in news was a firing offense, making the Jacobites seem tame in comparison.
“Each angle, he argued, was powered by the same mechanism: making ordinary people terrified to say what they actually believed.”
As everywhere, and the BBC Newsroom (And TV show section) as well. Reign of Jacobean Terror, although for the Information Age of Aquarius, thank God. Still pretty serious. As JB said, you could escape them in Magic the Gathering Card games, D&D, video games, figurines, Star Wars, comic books, nor anywhere. The lemon-sucking fundamentalists would track you down and kill you worse than any Cromwell ever has. Same in UK where like Cromwell, closed all the Pubs open these 500 years. Literally. Insane. Make Stalin look like a Hippie.
“Democrats haven’t figured this out yet. They’re still running the same play.”
And again, this is why they inexplicably have no policies, even to LIE about them. Emotionally, the don’t want policy, which is boring AF, they are energized by POWER, to march around and see the raw terror in everyone’s eyes. It makes life worth living and want to get up again tomorrow. “Hamburgers?” as he meme goes. Minimum Wage? Healthcare costing less than Switzerland? Me no comprehend.
“If Comey were telling the truth, that still wouldn’t explain why he shared that photo with all his followers.”
Here you go: ʤ ¶ ʩ π ˨ ю v Ѭ
What does that mean to you? Sooo…having no idea what that means, what those symbols are, you don’t have the innate impulse to post it and your ignorance in front of 5 million people? Yeah, you’d only post it if you DO know what it means. There are “symbols” everywhere, in the sweep of sand and two leaves crossing on a tree on that same walk. He didn’t post them either, now or ever. Only this.
“James Comey signals to FBI personnel that he has “great confidence in” at the bureau to wait out the Trump administration”This is the very definition of “A Deep State”. A State that is criminally uncaring of the people and rebellious to every American, and in that sense a thief, taking money for services then refusing to provide them, doing the opposite, doing whatever they like. And yes, some 1/3rd may like that, but the 2/3rds now see it as proof we should go up there and burn you out. That everything they accuse you of is true. So that’s NOT “Plausible Deniability” Sonny Jim. YOU just blew everyone’s cover.
“the idea that Democrats should make radical constitutional and political changes as soon as they retake power. That includes packing the Supreme Court, admitting Puerto Rico and D.C. as states and killing the Electoral College.”
Again, you were winning with Fabian. You were working slow with deniability. This blows the cover off everything, and the people won’t like it. That’s fine when you were going to round up and kill all your enemies (And did, to some extent) but not if they have any options left, including shooting. And Americans do. We retain the whole escalation ladder of responses, not even having started a counter-war yet. So we’re merely discussing at this point, while you’re exposed, your 100 year plan and 100 year success is shot. No one supports your ACTUAL plan, they were supporting your cover story all that time (like delivering health care) that were all now-proven lies.
In short, your policy is worldwide global Stalinism. Now we can see, and you’re saying so yourself, in public.
“Yet, it is all part of the effort to normalize extreme measures and condition American voters to fundamentally changing our system.”
Any level of Jacobism, Revolution, War, extremism, etc, they win. Only being human and moderate and normal do we win.
“Driverless cars and a stop hiring humans campaign… If this is the future, it is HELL”
I would prefer not to live in Hell, actually. Rather against that.
“Technology has the potential to automate human labor”
Yes, for the worse. As has almost every invention since they started. Are people happier in 2026 than 1926? Profoundly, overwhelmingly, despairingly, NO. They might even be 1/10th as happy for moving 9 times faster. So who is all this for? A: Only machines and money, it would seem, as it cripples the humans to advance itself. Orlov called it the Technosphere, its purpose is to turn the entire earth and everything on it into the Borg. Dead and lifeless as the real Matrix, all humans and life forms extinct.
Also profoundly do NOT want 1M satellites, doing anything. Also no rockets, no use for them. Every rocket could probably restore an entire U.S. town. Can only pray for a long-term Kessler reaction, shutting space completely which went from very likely to inevitable as they all smash into each other like reactor atoms.
“However, the world is burning more coal now than ever, reaching a record 8.85 billion metric tonnes”
True of all energy and all things, like Jevon’s Paradox. We never reduce, even when we could, should, and would be happier for it by far.
“I WOULD HIRE THE ONE WHO’S EXPERT IN USING AI.”
All things being equal. But it’s not. The expert in AI knows nothing about accounting or marketing himself. So when AI tells him to make a Bozo Gun and shoot everyone with it, he will do so and think he’s winning. Not only failing, but bankrupting the company because it is counter to all law and physics. This translates to “Hire the Incompetent guy”.
“Probably, a future where there’s amazing abundance for all.”Absolutely not. You’re insane. That’s being God himself, where there are no limits. It’s writing a novel where Sam Spade is a private eye, but also a Jedi, but also a billionaire, but also a bikini-model, but also a fighter pilot, but also a cowboy, but also Wookie, but also a CEO, but also a child, but also a surfer, but also a Spartan, but also a Maori Tribeman, but also a Queen.
NO. The point of life is you can be ONE thing. That there ARE limits. And yes, they, and Musk, do EXACTLY THIS and it drives them insane. All modern Media, as shown by the new Star Wars demonstrates this and how it doesn’t work, is insane, and is completely contrary to all human nature, rejected as disgusting and false by all humans who encounter it. He’s projecting his profound mental illness on us.
I want a world where I pump water and throw wood on the fire. One made of profound limitations like Winter, summer, spring that give life and our place in it MEANING. Joy and pain come and go, but meaning is enduring.

Igor Levitas Morning coffee on EADaily:
“Trump announced that he was laying a strike on Iran because the Gulf countries asked him not to do so. In addition, it gives Iran time to make some compromises. In my opinion, the situation is a little simpler: Trump needs the result of the meeting between Putin and Xi.
It is known that during his meeting a few days ago, Trump and Xi spoke, among other things, about Iran. And it is logical to assume that they came to some kind of interim decision, which is tied to the position of Putin. Therefore, until the end of the meeting, Putin and Xi Trump will not do any movements. Especially since Iran softens its position: agrees to give the enriched uranium to Russia for storage, begins to clear the Strait of Hormuz, etc. I really hope that no military action will follow.”The Iranian uranium? (say that 3 times fast) Forensic due diligence is best served by Russia. It might not become public. Iran has 6 known deposits in country. They are not high grade. Near the bottom but not the lowest either.

What copilot had to say about Xi and Putin meetingSummary:
Putin and Xi’s most recent meeting in Beijing (May 19–20, 2026) reinforced their strategic alignment, expanded economic cooperation, and presented a united geopolitical front—particularly in opposition to U.S. policies. Below is a structured breakdown of what happened, grounded in the latest reporting.🧭 Core Outcomes of the Putin–Xi Meeting
1. Strengthening the China–Russia Strategic Partnership
Both leaders declared that bilateral ties have reached an “unprecedentedly high level”, continuing their long‑standing “no limits” partnership first announced in 2022.Xi described the relationship as “unyielding despite trials and tribulations.”
Putin emphasized that their cooperation serves as a model of comprehensive partnership.
2. Major Economic & Energy Agreements
Putin and Xi oversaw the signing of 20–40+ cooperation agreements, depending on the source, covering:Energy (oil & natural gas)
Technology
Media exchanges
Trade expansion
Trade between the two countries reached $228.1 billion last year, with nearly all transactions conducted in rubles or renminbi, reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar.
3. Coordinated Geopolitical Messaging Against the U.S.
In a joint statement, China and Russia:Criticized U.S. unilateralism and “hegemonism”
Warned of a return to the “law of the jungle” in global affairs
Opposed Trump’s proposed $175B “Golden Dome” missile defense system
Xi also issued veiled warnings about U.S. actions in the Middle East and global security.
4. Ukraine War Positioning
Both leaders reiterated calls for a “lasting solution” to the war in Ukraine, without criticizing Russia’s invasion.
This continues China’s balancing act: rhetorically pro‑peace, materially pro‑Russia.5. Middle East / Iran Conflict
Xi called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Middle East, citing risks to global energy and supply chains.
He told Putin that renewed conflict is “inadvisable” and a ceasefire is urgent.6. Symbolism & Diplomacy
Putin received a full red‑carpet welcome, military band, and ceremonial honors—similar to Trump’s visit days earlier, but with warmer personal rapport.Putin quoted a 3,000‑year‑old Chinese idiom to emphasize closeness:
“Not seeing you for one day feels like being apart for three autumns.”This was Putin’s 25th visit to China and their 40+th meeting since 2013.
🧩 What It Means Strategically
For China:
Reinforces Beijing as the central hub of global power diplomacy, hosting Trump and Putin within days.Strengthens energy security and geopolitical leverage.
For Russia:

—————You may be very, very good at something that you do-
Your name is good, you get the jobs, you’ve made a buck or two-
But if your work is making things more lethal than before,
Your customers may love you but you’re still a goddamned whore.The Zionist Faction that just “Primaried” Massie out of the Congress shot themselves in the head by demonstrating beyond all shadow of doubt that the Zionist State of Israel does, indeed, run the United States Empire. Had they chosen almost anyone other than Thomas Massie they might have gotten away with it, too, but they didn’t.
They just gave one of their most dangerous adversaries an enormously powerful weapon to use against them, and Thomas Massie knows how to use that weapon to greatest effect. He was already quite good at it, and now he has the ammunition to do it even better.
Making one’s enemy stronger is such a dumb move that I just gotta say that the ZioNazi Empire is just too stupid to live much longer.
How much “foreign” lobby money was used to fund pro Trump candidates?
How many ships passed thru the strait during Trump’s visit to China?
In a war, staying long oil for more than 10 trading days will cost you.
Did/do the Gulf states really know?
Are the Israelis setting their “bombs-away” countdown clocks for Saturday morning?
Trump has until market open, Tuesday morning.
Seriously, sweetheart only scratches the surface. Particularly the third grader Hussein.
“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.”[Proverbs 6: 16-17]Now that the world is teetering on the brink of nuclear war, and it’s likely that Israel will be the first to launch its nukes, it might benefit us somewhat to answer the question of where did they get their atomic bombs in th first place.
Better to answer that important question late than never, I am forced to suppose.
My guess is that Zionist elements within both countries conspired to bribe, blackmail, and criminally enlist the various military, scientific, intelligence, political and financial institutions of the United States to GIVE them those nuclear weapons by means of extremely convoluted skullduggery, and keep all of the dirty details of that skullduggery secret and legally immunized against opposition or exposure by BOTH camps (Israeli and Anglo/American based) to this very day.
Atom bomb tech is 80 years old. Iran likely has nuclear warheads strapped to some of their missiles. No dust, not buried, ready to fly.
I just heard that Larry Fink came out in public recently and said something to the effect of, “Please don’t bomb my Data Centers because I need them to control vital industries and make the money to pay for them.”
That’s hilarious!
It’s like a mugger in a dark alley asking his victim, “Please don’t disarm me while I’m in the process of robbing you at gunpoint or shooting you dead if you try to resist or obstruct the crime.”
As for the data centers themselves I say Bomb Away! We’ve got more than enough of them already and have all of the so-called Artificial Intelligence that we could ever possibly need, and then some.
We don’t need robots. We need a decent life with enough food to eat and electricity to keep the lights on. We don’t need to spend 100 billion dollars per head to send humans to Mars! What possible thing could a human being on Mars produce to justify send him to Mars (on a multi-trillion dollar mission, for which each mars-o-nut would have a productive lifespan of a very few years before becoming a net liability cost/benefit wise)
Here’s an idea: Send Fink and Elon to Mars.
Just in case you have ever deeply wondered why the English Crown has so deeply involved itself with Jews and Judaism.
Peace must be close
Nice thought, but not quite yet. First there must come the realignments, and those are usually messy and not especially peaceful.
chooch i don’t think there is any deterrent to mad men using nuclear weapons. A moral people would not poison an area of ancient habitation. Al-Quds is holy to more than Judaism.
Israel would never have enough armaments to defend themselves were they to use a nuclear weapon. I am 75 with a TAVR heart valve and i would enlist to make jihad on Israel.Jews vs the global Islamic community plus those who hunger and thirst for justice.. The question is are the smartest, as we are told, stupid enough to go there.
“It’s the (oil-based) economy, Stupid”… President Mr. Bill
Expect the Hormuz blockade to remain in place until the global economy capitulates and gives up hope of return to the “normal” days of yore.
;-/City of London:
Raul, you are in big trouble today with the City of London for not featuring any of their War = Peace propaganda articles!
Yesterday, you at least featured their favorite attack dog, miss lindsey graham, Moar war!
Then posting articles saying bad things about City of London’s democrats.
Then saying China, Russia, and the US, are fighting a common enemy, London, oh boy you maybe knocked offline in the dead of night!
You might be able to save yourself, if you announced a new fake City of London War!
Or maybe run an article by miss bolton?I’m using copilot. It save me a lot of work.
Yes — we have clear, sourced numbers on how many ships have been moving through the Strait of Hormuz recently.
Here are the verified figures, all tied to specific dates and sources.🚢 Current Ship Traffic Through the Strait of Hormuz (May 2026)
1. Today’s throughput: 2 ships in 24 hours
Commercial transit is effectively 2% of normal.Only 2 vessels transited the strait today, compared to a pre‑crisis baseline of 95 per day.
2. IRGC claim: 26 ships in the past 24 hours
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps publicly stated they coordinated 26 ships through the strait within a 24‑hour period.3. Independent maritime data: ~10 ships per day recently
Reuters‑based analysis shows around 10 ships (mixed cargo, chemical, LPG; very few crude tankers) crossing in the past 24 hours.4. Weekly spike: 55 vessels in one week (May 11–17)
A temporary easing of restrictions allowed 55 vessels to cross over a week — up from 19 the week before.5. Complete halt (earlier in May): 0 ships in 24 hours
MarineTraffic data recorded a full 24‑hour period with zero ships passing through.🧭 How to interpret the numbers
These figures differ because they come from different days, different sources, and different definitions:2 ships/day → IMF PortWatch / crisis‑level commercial traffic
10 ships/day → Mixed‑vessel AIS tracking (Reuters/Kpler)
26 ships/day → IRGC‑coordinated movements (Iran’s claim)
55 ships/week → Temporary easing window
0 ships/day → Full shutdown during peak tension
All of them point to the same conclusion:
The Strait of Hormuz is operating at a tiny fraction of normal capacity — between 0% and ~10% of typical flow depending on the day.
Iran:
The only way for peace to enter the Middle East and Iran, is if the City of London is completely driven out!
