The Dollar Trap Is Breaking

Ya know what the REAL problem with our planetary civilization is, dontcha?

I’ll tell you. It is what it is, and THAT is what it is. It’s attitude toward YOU is simply fuck you if you don’t like it, and THAT is the problem. We are pretty much all too chickenshit scaredy cat to risk our lives by saying ANYTHING about it that might get us in trouble WITH it.

There you have it. Tell me if you think I’m wrong.

To mentally and spiritually separate ones self from the very FABRIC of reality (as if separation itself were even possible) is like a rug trying to pretend that it’s not a carpet. Good luck with that.

Summary: “Aramco facility engulfed in flames after Yemeni missile strike.”
This statement is accurate.

The news can’t get much truer than that…. and all that is inescapably implied by true news like that.

This Chinese AI Chalkboard Is Blowing People’s Minds (English Translation)

Perhaps the rug thinks it is a toupee.

War On Iran: – Silence Before The Storm Or Ongoing Negotiations?

War On Iran: – Silence Before The Storm Or Ongoing Negotiations?

This comes after 13 days of U.S. (and other) strikes on Iran followed by well targeted responses by Iranian forces.

This curious. Something is up.

This could be the silence before the storm, i.e. for an upcoming large scale U.S. strike all over Iran – for which there are many signs, or it could be part of ongoing negotiations.

My hunch is that this halt of bombings was a precondition for the renewal of talks which are now ongoing.

Talks are always better than bombing. But I see little chance for a positive outcome.

Looking for a path to peace.

DBS we are in agreement about separation not being possible. It is very easy to become so immersed in an illusion that it becomes reality for one so immersed.

Thank goodness i read TAE, i would have never discovered our solar system is a binary star system. As all binary star systems our stars are bound together and the central mass they orbit is their own egos.

it is exceedingly difficult to remained constrained by Auntie Em’s dilemma when Victor Davis Hanson’s name is entered into a discussion. I am surprised he has not seriously injured his shoulders patting himself on the back.

I will tell you how much i love the twenty month old boy. i will sit in a room with the television on so he can sit next to me in the recliner.(can’t let him into the computer room) The only human on the planet
i would do that for.

There is no doubt One Truth Most High, Lord of Mercy, Giver of Mercy has Divine Hope. The Qur’an says one in a thousand have their name in the Book of Life. That is a cosmic level of hope.

New information/estimate from copilot

The “18 days” figure is outdated.
The real buffer is closer to 12–14 days for diesel and jet fuel.

Diesel: ~12–14 days
Jet fuel: ~10–13 days
Marine fuel: ~14–16 days
Gasoline: ~20–24 days (least affected)
These are buffer estimates, not depletion forecasts.

Tensions Rise: Russia began sinking Enemy Ships off the coast of ROMANIA! The WEST is losing ODESSA!

“Iran has already won its war with the United States”

Yes, I see on the nightly news they are surrounding the White House as we speak.

Also they Petrodollar has collapsed which is why it’s 101.50 and still inexorably rising, there is a dollar SHORTAGE worldwide, and we sell bonds like candy while all other nations are having trouble.

Sure pal. How about ONE fact that isn’t the opposite of truth for a change.

I always trust government press releases, they’re much more reliable. …But only if they’re from Iran or North Korea.

How about we don’t trust Pentagon Press releases and we don’t trust Iran, Europe, or Canada either, okay?

They have defined “Iran Winning” as “Iran still exists, their name is not completely wiped from all history books, and there is >1 Iranian left alive somewhere on the planet.” That standard means the U.S. lost. If not, what IS the standard? We seem to disagree and have not defined it.

Krainer/Petrodollar. IS the U.S. defending a Petrodollar trade system? Yes, but not in that way. We are LEAVING “Petrodollar” which is “Empire” and reverting back to a proxy gold standard and sovereignty. …But run and spearheaded by the United States. Got it?

So that’s FAIR trade with Russia, China, Global South. Got it? That’s why they’re on board. How are we defending a system that will be fair and voluntary? Gee, that sounds goddamn terrible, how dare we? Obviously everyone is pro-slavery (open borders, importing labor) and pro-Socialism, which is the Apex of unfree exchange. So having like-for-like, gold-backed trade is anathema to everyone. Left, Right, Rich, Poor, everyone. It’s straight Bastiat: “Everyone is going to live at the expense of everyone else.”

So yes, the Petrodollar WAS that trade. And it is ending. And we are ending it. I post new support for that case daily.

Why? Ohh, probably not for any special beneficence or morality of our own. Or sort of. Because ONCE you are IN that Empire, Strong-Dollar state it eat you out inside, including morality. Then it “always collapses” because it most always expand. This is the case We were shouting in 2001 and being told we were idiots, now is consensus reality. So believe me now when we’re 25 years further on: it’s because the only way OUT of a lie is to TELL THE TRUTH. The only way to get out of collapse of Empire…

IS TO REPUDIATE EMPIRE.

Voluntarily.

The only way to get out of being hollowed and made immoral with a too-strong currency….

IS TO SET THE CURRENCY FAIRLY.

We are doing both, daily, against everyone’s screaming toddler hissy fits, stomping feet and crying. Because they BANKED on corrupting us completely, and have SHORTED the collapse that now isn’t coming. That includes me and Bitcoin: Bitcoin rises on the corruption of the government and banking system — the easiest slam dunk in the universe, never reversed. …But what if they reverse it? And jail bankers as they did this week? And stop narco money laundering? And start loaning to Main Street? And lower taxes?

Ooops. Bitcoin stalls. Gold stalls. Silver stalls. There are no one-sided trades. Not even that one.

This is impossible for Krainer – or apparently anyone? — to conceive of. The very thought of choosing morality repels them. It’s like an invisibility cloak – perhaps the US Navy should try it. This is why the White Hats win year after year: Sauron cannot, can never, will never, ever conceive that someone would NOT be evil, NOT use the One Ring. It’s illogical. Irrational. This is why they investigate all the Republicans, read all their emails for months and years, then press no charges and assume that the skullduggery must just be hidden somewhere else even deeper and be even worse. The fact they can’t find any evidence only PROVES their case.

No. You’re just filthy, evil maniacs, incapable of perceiving good.

They are incapable of even CONSIDERING that no American wants and Empire and never did, and would walk over broken glass to end it – and we are, every day, right now in front of you. Their answer? “No you’re not.” Oh, okay then. “You’re a poopy pants and we hates you forevah.” Oh, okay then. How adult.

That’s Krainer’s problem, AND the pundits of Fox News who hate America with a blinding, undying hate of the angels. — The fallen ones.

“The U.S. government EVERY government is involved in criminal activities of the worst and most immoral kind”

But especially the Canadian one, which is non-stop applauding Nazis, foremost in Eugenics, and running a Irish genocide. That’s AFTER growing bored with being the foremost Fentanyl lab and importer, and drug money launderer, decimating its military and plundering the Canadian people and nation blind.

I point at Canada so people say: “Oh yeah! They DID do all that and so much more! If CANADA is like that, geez, can you imagine what Germany, France, or Iran are up to?”

Yes, it’s called “Government”. Limit yours today. We ain’t special. But you ain’t either.

“Iran has refused to charge any fees for passing through the Strait of Hormuz, and has made the transit free!

They didn’t “Make it free” they never owned it. Never ever. Oman owns half. They never controlled it, never-ever. They THREATENED that they WOULD, if messed with, and I believed them, but the details matter. Other than that: Point totally taken! Yes, thank you, Iran! And Oman. Very cool, how can we repay you?

Bonus question: The US Navy is the only viable remaining Navy. What do we get for patrolling the planet, which is really expensive, compared to looking at water with binoculars and leaving people from a deck chair and leaving everyone the f–k alone like Iran, which is really easy and free? For that matter, Egypt does do a little, but nothing like $200k. So if they can charge $200k for almost nothing, how much should we charge per ship for a trillion dollars in Naval Assets?

So are SO RIGHT. I am SO on your wavelength right now. Are you SURE you want to prosecute your legal case like this? I’m all ears.

“Transition Protocol is a serious, source-driven geopolitical and economic analysis channel — “

They claim they’re serious and I read it on the Internet, so ‘nuff said. Shut up and take my money, they would never lie. Who on the internet ever lies for profit?

Listened now to many interviews with Joe Kent. He’s never said a word on any of them. Okaaaaay…. When is he going to say anything so I can measure his information and position? What did I say about all vibes and no facts or details?

Trump isn’t seizing money from Iran – they don’t have any. He’s seizing it from LONDON. Where all their BANKS are. You don’t think the IRGC keeps any money in Iran do you? Look at the state of the place! Clearly not, they do not self-invest. They buy London Real Estate and offshore accounts.

“U.S. is the problem here not Iran Get home U.S. and stay within your borders” Reid

We are finally having a discussion. Iran just showed they will bomb every nation in the region out to Bulgaria if given a chance, a thing which I did not formerly believe. We cannot be in the region without the express invitation of every Gulf State to prosecute this war. If we leave it will be a collapsed, failed region, helping no one but the British and Europeans who will set on them all like jackals. That is not my goal and preferred outcome. I trust it is not yours. It appears at this point it is not Saudi’s, Oman’s, UAE’s, Kuwait’s, Turkey’s, Bulgaria’s, or even China’s either.

Why not take direction from the brown people who live there? Or world leaders like Putin and Xi? Welp, they know best what to tell everyone else what to do! Especially if it requires nagging, scolding, and never lifting a finger! Get your own Navy and stop us. I’m not kidding. You know what will happen if everyone has a Navy? The 19th century: everyone will be sovereign, everyone will take care of their own business again without us. Yay! What you’re requesting is a Mogadishu power vacuum, worldwide. No. Sadly, though I want to come home, I don’t actually hate all humans that much. Get a Navy, man it, test it, and I guess sadly we’ll have to go home, won’t we? All it takes is a modicum of work. A teeny-tiny bit. Take up two enfields and a musket. Show us you’ll stand and not fall to Ukraine-murdering Davos.

“The plague of evil that is assaulting the world is ALL coming from the people who own all the money and power. I think that we all need to talk about WHY that is the case, and come up with a SENSIBLE way to stop that from continuing to happen and getting worse.”

Yes. You end Empire and move back to fair money and fair exchange. This is what I’m describing daily, step by step. Everyone is mad. “NO! Don’t close the Middle Eastern bases!!!! That’s LOSING!!!” “When we leave why can’t we give the world over to maniacs who are even WORSE than we are???” That’ll end evil for ya!

No and no. Be an adult. Eat your vegetables.

“Russia began sinking Enemy Ships off the coast of ROMANIA! The WEST is losing ODESSA!”

See? Those are the GOOD sinking of ships and mass-murdering of men. Other sinking of ships is the Bad sinking of ships. I am not elated by ANY sinking of ANY ships. So we are on the same page then: it’s okay to sink a bunch of ships you don’t like if you can, to get what you want. Right?
