Thomas Cole The Course of Empire – Desolation 1836 • Why Is Trump Making The Global Energy Crisis Worse? (RT) • US Says Iranian Trade Through Strait O
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle April 16 2026]Does a finer example of human gullibility exist than the acceptance of Winston Churchill as moral arbiter?
“were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science” – Churchill
no greater illustration of the proof of that statement than Giordano Bruno.So Day 26 of Trump putting Epstein in headline news and Melania requesting Congress look into it, because they’re both Totes guilty, and she’s a Epstein girl, so in honor let’s add a second reward for any evidence of that. Not like “Was at a party/beauty pageant once” but like, normal, human evidence we used BEFORE all the haters started worshiping Trump as God, the only man in the universe, who fills their minds leaving no room for other thoughts.
Mandani’s grocery already dying, hasn’t opened yet. $30M to open a bodega, like 5x the usual cost AND THEY OWN THE LAND. Like I said, they’re STARTING with no rules and unlimited capital.
Duran: “Iran Nuclear Standoff: US Military Blockade or Negotiating Tactic? w/ Jim Webb”
There is no “Standoff”. Those words mean we both have active nukes and are planning on using them on each other. Only WE have nukes, and much to the contrary of every dum s—t on Fox News, have never even suggested we would use them. They made that up one Tuesday for no reason anyone can tell.
Duran then says the #Opposite (of yesterday): 21 hours is no time at all to negotiate, and no rational person would think you could solve such a deal in that time. It’s moronic. I agree, Alex: Every expert on Fox News IS moronic. I didn’t fully realize before now.
The Straits are Again neither open nor closed, as the U.S. so far isn’t stopping anybody. No one knows why, but there will also be no break in the ceasefire over that.
Their guest is also a moron, as 60% uranium means nothing. Ah. Did not know that. I want to buy some for my kids then. Also they never cheated in refining it. Also false. At high refinery it gets ridiculously easy to weaponize. Apparently he never “Asked” nor “knows”.
Also believes no ship will stop if the US Navy hails and says they will sink them. Ah. Cool. Good thing you’re not my captain, I guess. If I’m in a commercial jet, and the US Air Force says they’ll shoot us, I PROMISE you I will land. He won’t, so I guess he’s smarter than I am. He thinks so fast, he can out-think bullets.
He then says words like “Somehow, perhaps, Trump thinks, maybe, we might have the moral high ground, so everyone will obey that.” Ah. Amazing. Not like NO OIL TO CHINA WILL EXTEND PRESSURE? No? Not a bit, sir? No REVENUE to Iran will ALSO cause leverage? No? None?
China shuts down all their factories, Iran runs out of money, but they’re all earnestly discussing how “Trump has no leverage.” And go on using their DonaldTelepathy, that “Wars never won nothin’ never n stuff.” Cuz “The US Navy can’t sink ships n’ stuff” after sinking all Iran’s Navy AND a ship in India for s—ts n’ grins. I guess that’s what we pay them for, to not sink anything. Any Navymen here? So sinking ships is not a thing you do? This marine private says you’re all incompetent p—ys who can’t sink a garbage scow.
I’m turning off. I can’t take another 10 minutes of delirious crayon-munching. Where tf do they FIND these guys? Read a book. Ask for a “Statement”. All three nodding in unison like bobbleheads.
“Russia Vows To ‘Fill China’s Energy Resource Gap’ Amid Hormuz Crisis In Lavrov-Xi Meeting
As this helps get the three major powers into balance. We’re looking at them, but we regularly discuss how the U.S. is far weaker than it seems, fragile, and needs many years or restoration.
“Iran Boasts It Is Fast Rebuilding Bridges & Rail Lines After US Wrought Destruction
I’m sure they are, but it’s way faster to bomb them. Esp when neither China nor Russia are doing air support.
“Iran already tried to lock down the strait (which is an international waterway), and any government cheering (or secretly cheering) for Iran’s actions is now unable to make a rational argument against the US doing the same thing to Iran.”
Classic Trumpism. He does a thing, like Oxygen, knowing they’ll protest or outlaw oxygen if he breathes. Then flips the narrative, saying “If not push then pull” and say arresting Comey becomes okay because they arrested Flynn eg. They MAKE him do this, they taught him. He/We tried everything else, all the rational arguments. Being irrational, this was the only way to deal with infantile behavior, so he uses it and again here.
“That said, I do not care about “picking sides” when it comes to Israel or Iran.
This debate is irrelevant and designed, I think, to divide US conservatives over ancient tribal vendettas that do not involve us. I don’t care about the Israeli government or “Zionism” and I certainly don’t care what happens to the theocratic and tyrannical Muslim regime in Iran. We have much more important things to think about.”I guess I agree with Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us
I can take a side, and am moderately clear on it, but if you’d followed Herr Docktor’s path of trusting the morality and intelligence of the People – America and world both – we would have long since lost and be living in a Globalist mass-murdering dystopia. That’s not entirely because I have more morality, being an outside amateur, I think we all had no idea how fast other humans would throw us in ovens or approve of genocide before Covid and Gaza. Every Muslim approved of Gaza and didn’t lift a finger, then pointed at US to blame, doing literal f–k all themselves. (Lookin’ at you Turkey, largest Army within 2,000 miles)
Well? OUR strategists apparently DID know. Being their Day Job n’ stuff. So the White Hats continue to do THIS which, if not winning fast, at least DOESN’T LOSE, since the fate of the planet rests on it.
So I wanted to say that, everyone saying we need to fight a global war against the most evil forces ever devised without telling a single lie or losing a single man. I’m only half as zealous and I would have lost already. They’re still in the game. I want to emphasize that.
Article is worth reading, what’s actually happening: https://alt-market.us/trumps-blockade-is-breaking-iran-and-european-elites-are-angry/
Just listen: 90% of all Fox News Experts – always wrong – are emotional words, not details. This is exclusively facts and details, as he adds, he isn’t even going to BOTHER with emotion or morality right now. “Reality” rests on “Facts”. Not feelings. Here you go.
“Iran pays for new weapons and military logistics with oil revenues. Their soldiers are paid in part with oil revenues. They mitigate civil unrest with oil revenues.
I suspect that the blockade will force Iran back into negotiations within a couple weeks. That’s how little time they have left.
Lie #5: Iran Has Alternative Ways To Bypass The Blockade
No, they don’t. Overland routes without ample pipelines are no substitute for the ease of oil tanker shipments. Even if they did have such pipelines, those lines could be easily destroyed.
By extension, as Iran’s oil exports stack up they will quickly run out of storage space, which means they will have to shut down drilling. This would cause significant damage to their oil infrastructure within weeks due to pressure differentials.
Recent news indicates that Iran has already halted all petrochemical exports until further notice. If true, this proves that the blockade is highly effective.”This isn’t whether the IRGC WANTS to keep fighting and kill all life on earth. They do, I guess. Fine. That’s not the basis wars are fought on though. It’s that THEY CAN’T fight with no missiles, bridges, power plants, supply roads, communication lines, or revenue remaining. And so here. So the wells are damaged, then they have even MORE expensive problems they can’t solve, or buy the materials to solve. That’s “You were fighting with a Jeep and an AK. I broke both. What now?”
And we can keep breaking stuff forever if we have air superiority to all borders.
Their only hope is that we do what every Fox News Expert says and voluntarily surrender to Iran for no reason at all and let them occupy us and rule the planet. Why? Why would we do that again, after all this?
“Lie #6: The Chinese Will Intervene And Force The Strait To Reopen
That’s why they will pressure Iran to flip governments and open.
“Only Iranian ports are closed. Furthermore, China has stayed away from direct intervention in the Hormuz because they simply don’t have the naval capacity to square off with the US even if they wanted to.
Keep in mind, only a week ago the Chinese government vetoed a UN resolution to reopen the strait when they thought Iran was going to control it.”So China just voted to keep it closed. Iranian oil is already embargoed by Europe. We’re just enforcing Europe’s own embargo on themselves.
“Lie #7: The US Is Losing All Its Allies Over The Blockade
Wrong. What the blockade (and the war in general) is doing is exposing the countries which were pretending to be our allies when it was convenient. I examined this problem in my last article “The US Separation From Europe And NATO Is Long Overdue”, and this brings me to my final point on the war.
The fact that the European elites are suddenly so concerned with the US blockade, enough to call for a “coalition” to reopen the strait and “circumvent” the US, tells us all we need to know. I continue to believe that the globalists in these nations have been feeding off the US while at the same time organizing a “multicultural alliance” behind the scenes – A socialist new world order to supplant western civilization and leave the US behind as a husk.
Part of this agenda clearly involves a partnership with Islamic fundamentalists as a goon squad to oppress native western populations. This is why the elites have flooded Europe with third world migrants – Ignoring the concerns of citizens and even arresting people who speak out.
This is also why the Pope is so adamant to call for a Muslim/Christian pact (while he blatantly ignores the fact that Europeans have been terrorized by Muslim immigrants for over a decade). Let’s not forget that during the pandemic lockdowns, the Vatican joined with the globalists to form the Council for Inclusive Capitalism (run by Lynn Forester de Rothschild). Modern-era Popes are not friends to conservatives or Christians, but I plan to go into that problem in my next article.
The blockade, I believe, is so effective that it has struck fear in Iran, fear in China, and fear in the liberal order in Europe which was counting on the war to drag on for months or years. Look at how angry they all are that Trump flipped the script on the Hormuz? Why all the emotion and irrational hand wringing after the strait has been opened to MORE ships and oil traffic? Why all the panic when oil prices are falling? It doesn’t make sense unless they WANT the US to fail.”EVERY Fox Guy. EVERY Republican I guess. Certainly all allies, everyone in Europe. They want the U.S. to collapse and Iran to run the world. Those are your actions. That’s the triumphalism at every missile shot killin’ some kids in Kuwait or some such.
“”I love when people call Trump Stupid.. You mean the multi-billionaire who…”
I’m beside myself. If they can’t grasp it, don’t let them I guess. It’s like saying the QB of the Patriots with 5 Superbowl rings, is really just a JV High Schooler who got lucky. …And they say far, far worse than that daily. Should be easy to beat him then!
“China loses its CHEAP oil supply”
They were paying wholesale to Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. And Europe was making sure of that, tipping the tables to “Fabian Socialist” pick the winners and losers. Now China pays retail. So sad. I thought we wanted Fair Trade. And without a “Chaos Premium,” an open Ven and Iran, oil is $40bbl worldwide because of doubling the flow. We in America have to be open to competition, while China has no CAFE, no EPA, no OHSA regulation no health care, and 30% discount on oil. ‘Cause that’s fair.
“(I think every action the Trump Administration has taken so far from Venezuela to Iran has largely been designed to contain China)
• Trump’s Blockade Is Breaking Iran And European Elites Are Angry (Alt-M)Interesting. I don’t. I’m not sure we care about China much at all from our actions. But maybe we could say we want FAIR trade worldwide, and we’re shutting off a bunch of secret and unjust tollbooths of the rentier class.
“Iran says it’s not “blockadable”.
Um. I don’t see how you wouldn’t be. Show me. Can you take 20 barrels out the Caspian in a pickup truck? Sure.
“China had been buying more than 90% of Iranian oil and it constituted about 8% of their annual purchases.”
“• Vance Says President Trump Wants To Make ‘Grand Bargain’ With Iran (JTN)That’s the point of installing Muslim Brotherhood and IRGC types: because they’re irrational, you can count on their behavior. Zealots are narrow, blind, idiots. Humans are open, curious, calculating new creative solutions. So London can count on IRGC turning Iran into a wasteland for their religion, and that’s really effective – to everyone but the IRGC and the Iranian people.
Again, not picking on somebody, same here with our Woke crowd. You can count on them being narrow minded idiots, unwilling to engage with facts and discussion. Easily directed and controlled. This is worldwide they set up groups like this for 100 years, like Falan Gong, German Green Parties, whatever. All European women voting for mass rape not to be “Mean”. We’re just focused on the latest example.
“Iran BOMBED Gulf neighbors, those countries are suddenly opening up Iranian regime BANK accounts to Treasury So he can FREEZE their assets!”
This was optional. The IRGC personel could have left with those bank accounts. And essentially those are LONDON bank accounts. This will pressure and de-collateralize Europe again. Does Khomeni own billions of NY and Miami real estate? No. LONDON real estate, sanction-free.
More, we will see all the transaction interactions and put them in AI trackers, if we didn’t already know. This is why we wanted Maduro, is this inside tracking.
“• Europe Drafts Plan To Free Up Hormuz Without ‘Belligerent’ Parties (ZH)
They’ve worked up a way to all hold hands and no more war forever. Just as working so well in the EU so far, with no agitation, all peace, and the magical prosperity of the Garden People.
Impeachment: don’t care, arrest somebody.
Federal Reserve: Basis for ending them as an institution when the time presents. Remember we have warehouses of Treasury $100 bills never released. Years back.
““Serfs received protection for their taxes. Slaves received housing, food, and medical care. Post 1913 Americans receive wars.”
Point taken, but here’s your deal: go trade places with them then. Game? Want to?
“Elon Musk is not productive because he works harder he’s productive because he kills nonsense faster than anyone else”
Having been in companies this seems very plausible. It takes so little, almost zero. Don’t lie.

Simplicius, Masterful 5D Stroke: Trump’s Blockade Charade Deflects From Ceasefire Flop
And after Trump’s juvenile braggadocio about wiping out any Iranian ships that attempt to interfere in US’s own blockade, footage surfaced appearing to show Iranian speed boats chasing away US warships that attempted to vaunt their way across the Strait. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/masterful-5d-stroke-trumps-blockadeSimplicius, Anti-Blockade Blockade Comes Into Effect to Mass Confusion
Yesterday Trump’s “blockade” went into effect, with an alleged 16 US warships attempting to enforce it somewhere outside the Strait of Hormuz. This has led to a wide array of speculation on what exactly is happening, and how much fact vs. fiction there is in Trump’s ambitious claims.
AP confirmed that not a single US warship was in the Persian Gulf…
..That, however, doesn’t stop many from speculating that the current peace talks are still a deflection from a troop build-up for an ensuing ground operation of some kind. Russia’s Security Council itself floated the idea…
..At the end of the day, the anti-blockade blockade charade has devolved into a scrum of he-said-she-said, which will likely continue playing out over the coming days. Trump will claim Iran is facing a “total economic blockade”, while Iran will call the US’s attempts bogus. The fact that US ships have to gaggle around the edges of Hormuz without ever getting close remains chiefly a humiliation to the US in this ongoing back-and-forth PR war.
The US’s erratic efforts have exasperated the rest of the world, with Europe now eyeing plans for a parallel Hormuz “reset” without any American involvement…
..As the circus stretches out, only one thing is for certain: Iran is rebuilding whatever as lost, while the US has depleted its most advanced and strategic systems.
Any future resumption of hostilities will give Iran an increasingly bigger edge, particularly now that the deterrent factor of US’s “shock-and-awe” mystique has been eroded and squandered by an ineffective campaign.
That said, Trump appears to intuit this, which is why he’s now targeting Iran economically in the hopes of simply crashing its economy. But this would never work, particularly on a short time-scale. Just look how long Cuba survived, and Iran is a far larger and more resourceful nation, with a far more proximate complement of powerful allies able to help sustain the country through times of hardship.
The US has very few cards, and it is for the Americans—and particularly Trump’s political career—that time is ticking. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/anti-blockade-blockade-comes-into Iran Halts All Petrochem Exports While Official Signals Compromise Strait Passage Opening, As Negotiators Cite ‘Progress’
The Iran war is “very close to over” with authorities in Tehran eager to agree a peace deal, Trump says, adding: “We’ve beaten them militarily.” Axios cites ‘progress’ toward framework to end war. Iran state media says halt to all petrochemical exports, RTRS cites possible compromise on strait passage.
AP/Bloomberg reporting the two sides have an “in principle agreement” to pursue further diplomacy; however, this is batted down as ‘unconfirmed’ by Tehran & a US official.
The Pentagon is sending thousands of additional troops into the Middle East in coming days: WaPo
Trump claims China “very happy” the US is permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz, also Xi told him Beijing was not sending weapons/defense items to Tehran.

How Many People Have the US and Israel Killed in Iran?
If the Iran Health Ministry’s casualty figures were accurate, it would mean that only one person is being killed for every 13 people wounded. But if the figure of 26,500 people wounded was accurate, and the ratio between dead and wounded was similar to what is found in other wars, we would expect that around 10,000 people have probably been killed.
Looking at other sources, the UK-based Iran International website, on March 31, reported Iranian military, militia and police casualties of 4,770 killed and 20,880 wounded. https://www.globalresearch.ca/people-us-israel-killed-iran/5922210?doing_wp_cron=1776193581.3876039981842041015625Israeli attacks in Gaza kill six Palestinians, injure others https://english.palinfo.com/news/2026/04/13/361225/

Hezbollah Drone Strikes Continue to Take Heavy Toll on Israeli Armour
The Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah has increased its drone strikes on Israeli Army armoured units using First Person View (FPV) drones, mirroring similar technological trends seen in the Ukrainian theatre, as part of a broader war effort to repel Israel’s invasion of Southern Lebanon. There are indications that Hezbollah has learned from Russian and Ukrainian experience in utilising fiber-optic guided drones to evade Israeli electronic interference, fuelling speculation that a sharing of experience between Hezbollah and Russian forces may have taken place.

Professor Ugo Bardi looks at the declining resource base of industrial civilization: The Coming Civilization Collapse: A Biophysical Analysis – A New world war will have disastrous consequences.
War is a sector of the economy; it only has the characteristic of being more destructive than most.
So, this post is an attempt at an analysis of the current situation using biophysical economics as the main tool. It is a long story, and I can’t pretend to have treated the matter comprehensively, but I think there is sufficient data to arrive at reasonable conclusions. We are facing the start of a new cycle of global military build-up. Unlike previous cycles, this one may be disastrous at the global level because it coincides with a larger civilization cycle that’s taking us to a long-term economic decline.
Engaging the remaining resources in a major war is the fastest way to civilization collapse. https://senecaeffect.substack.com/p/iran-the-reasons-for-a-new-world Et Tu, Indonesia!
As the squeeze continues on China’s energy supply (and Xi has started to lash out here and here), we suspect the next words out of the Chinese leader’s mouth (if he spoke Latin) will be “…et tu, Indonesia!”
As Stephen Green writes at PJMedia, it might have seemed like one of those dry, bureaucratic, almost meaningless announcements on Monday, when War Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X that the U.S. and Indonesia “are elevating our relationship to a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership.”…
..But a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership is kind of a big deal – and it’s aimed directly at China’s oil imports.
China’s difficulties begin in the Strait of Hormuz, but they peak at Malacca.
Nearly two-thirds of China’s imports – largely the raw materials that keep its export machine humming – and a whopping 80% of its energy imports pass through Indonesia’s Strait of Malacca. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/et-tu-indonesia John Helmer takes the long way into saying that China floated a trial balloon of firmness in Hormuz, then quickly obscured it, effectively saying nothing:

For the most part, corporate news propagandists in both Europe and North America are intentionally ignoring the combustible situation. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/irish-patriots-are-fighting-backMagyar beats Orban in battle for Hungary: What happens now? https://web.archive.org/web/20260413102608/https://www.rt.com/news/638268-magyar-beats-orban-hungary/.
After Orbán Loss, Polish MEP Warns EU Set To “Subjugate Everything And Everyone” As VDL Moves Quickly To Abolish Veto Power
For many who backed Viktor Orbán, one of their greatest fears was exactly what von der Leyen is now advancing: an unconstrained EU able to take action on foreign policy, health, and migration without the threat of a veto.
It is widely assumed that the incoming prime minister of Hungary will seek a fast resolution of Brussels’ key issues with Hungary in order to unlock some €35 billion in funding. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/after-orban-loss-polish-mep-warns-eu-set-subjugate-everything-and-everyone-vdl-movesHungary has refused to finance Ukraine and will continue to purchase oil from Russia. https://avia-pro.net/news/vengriya-otkazalas-finansirovat-ukrainu-i-prodolzhit-zakupki-nefti-u-rossii
Brussels piles the conditions on Hungary to unlock EU funds — could Magyar’s honeymoon be over before it’s even started?
Brussels makes it clear: to be “welcomed back into Europe,” Hungary will need to play by its rules
The incoming Hungarian government faces an immediate challenge to its election pledges, with Brussels making clear that unlocking billions in EU funds will require sweeping changes that contradict much of Péter Magyar’s campaign promises.
According to the Financial Times, Hungary must meet 27 separate conditions to access roughly €35 billion in frozen EU funding — including the lifting of its veto on Russian sanctions and rolling back policies on asylum. These demands directly challenge Magyar’s pledges to prioritize national sovereignty and maintain tight border controls. https://rmx.news/article/brussels-piles-the-conditions-on-hungary-to-unlock-eu-funds-could-magyars-honeymoon-be-over-before-its-even-started/ Gilbert Doctorow on the Belgian banning of a documentary he was able to watch, on the Genocidal war of Ukraine since 2014, upon ethnic Russian citizens, which conveyed their statements, sentiments and recollections: A word to J.D.

Frances Leader, in the UK, THE FABIANS – The Secret Society Running Britain’s Left for 140 Years
The Fabian Society has supplied every Labour Prime Minister in history.
141 of 411 Labour MPs are members. – More than half the cabinet.
And they tell you all this on their website!
The Fabian Society is a British socialist organisation founded on January 4, 1884, dedicated to advancing social democracy and democratic socialism through gradualist and reformist methods rather than revolutionary overthrow...
..Founded in 1884 with a wolf in sheep’s clothing as their coat of arms, the Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank — and the organisation most people have never heard of. Their strategy, which they openly called “permeation,” was to infiltrate institutions from within rather than build new ones. They founded the London School of Economics, started the New Statesman, wrote Labour’s constitution, and traced a direct pipeline from pamphlet to law that still operates today. https://francesleader.substack.com/p/the-fabiansThe road to dispossession?

Iran’s determination to break out from the panopticon of Western 360° containment
Contact us: info@strategic-culture.suThe temporary cessation of hostilities across West Asia very much hangs in the balance. Originally, there was to be a cessation of military actions across “all fronts” including Lebanon — that being one of the ten Iranian preconditions to negotiations towards a permanent ceasefire. Trump duly affirmed that Iran’s 10-point framework provided a “workable basis” to begin direct negotiations with Iran.
For Iran, the points were seen as pre-conditions, rather than starting points from which negotiations would flow.
CBS has reported that Trump had been told that Iran’s terms, that he accepted on Thursday, would apply to the Middle East region as a whole – and he agreed that would include Lebanon. Mediators reported that the ceasefire would include Lebanon, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s announcement included it. Foreign Minister Araghchi also confirmed that Lebanon was included.
Trump’s position however reversed itself following a phone call from Netanyahu. According to Israeli correspondent, Ronan Bergman, writing in Yediot Ahoronot, Netanyahu suddenly and belatedly exploded the situation: In Israel, both echelons — military and political — were instructed to prove that there was no ceasefire for Hizbullah by mounting a huge attack on crowded residential neighbourhoods in Lebanon – killing and wounding over 1,000 persons, largely civilians.
And at the same time as the attacks on Lebanon were taking place, Israel announced that it sought to open a political initiative – direct talks with the Lebanese government centred on the disarmament of Hizbullah and on Lebanon’s normalisation with Israel – in order to buttress Netanyahu’s demand “for a short window of time for additional attacks against Hezbollah, before the Americans try to roll the same spirit of calm to Lebanon”, Anna Barsky writes in Ma’ariv.“Assessments in Israel speak of a partial American understanding of this need; but this is by no means assured”.
Alon Ben David, a prominent Israeli military correspondent, noted that the PM’s initiative might result in civil war in Lebanon, adding in parenthesis that ‘this had always been the objective’.
The Iranian equation however, runs counter to the ‘revised’ U.S. position that Lebanon was never integral to the ‘all fronts’ demand. For Tehran, it is ‘ceasefire for all, or ceasefire for no one’. It is that simple.
The negotiations were only going to take place if Trump was capable of imposing a veto on Netanyahu’s thirst for further rounds of blanket bombing in Lebanon. Has Trump effective agency to control Netanyahu — who (together with some Gulf states reportedly) still wants Trump “to go all the way, until the overthrow of the evil regime”, Ronen Bergman emphasises.
Yet the U.S. reality is stark:
“The U.S. has lost its naval presence and military bases in the Persian Gulf region; its entire inventory of stand-off munitions has been nearly exhausted, along with its air defences, which have been proven woefully ineffective”.
“This is what decisive strategic defeat looks like”.
As Ben Rhodes, former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor, put it: “It’s hard to lose a war this short: this comprehensively”.
What took Trump from a Tuesday night posting that “a whole civilization will die tonight”, to acquiesce a few hours later to negotiations on the basis of Iran’s 10-point plan is for conjecture. But perhaps the juxtaposed images of the crashed helicopter from President Carter’s ill-fated attempt to rescue U.S. hostages from Iran in 1980, together with the wreckage of U.S. aircraft near Isfahan from the abandoned Saturday (4 April) attempt to seize enriched uranium from a tunnel at Isfahan, tells its story.
As one commentator notes, the only thing missing from the later 1980 scene is the presence of the assassinated Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. President Carter, of course, became the political casualty from that event.
Let us recall too, that this current war was launched by a snap strike to kill the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamanei – and was expected to be a short war of days’ duration only. The NY Times report of the 11 February 2026 meeting at which Netanyahu persuaded Trump to join with an assault on Iran confirms that “the President appeared to think it would be a very quick war … (and) at no point during the deliberations did the Chairman [General Caine] directly tell the President that war with Iran was a terrible idea … [General Caine] would constantly ask, “And then what? But Mr. Trump would often seem to hear only what he wanted to hear”.
And what Trump chose to hear at the 11 February briefing dovetailed closely with Netanyahu’s own deep longings: “Iran stood apart” for Trump, as for Netanyahu. “He [Trump] regarded Iran as a uniquely dangerous adversary and was willing to take great risks to [fulfil] his desire to dismantle the Iranian theocracy”, the NY Times reported.
Neither Trump nor Netanyahu — despite the three-hour official briefing on 11 February — at all anticipated the strong Iranian response of immediate attacks on U.S. bases in the Gulf that swiftly ensued upon the killing of the Supreme Leader, though this prospect had been clearly prefigured in earlier Iranian warnings.
The entire 11 February strike plan that was green-lighted in the White House Situation Room meeting hinged on decapitation strikes, stand-off air bombardment, and a visceral (rather than evidence-based) conviction that an internal uprising surely would follow — one that would topple the state.
It is no surprise then, that Trump should now be desperately seeking an exit from the Israeli débacle that was set for him. Like Carter, he is on the rocks politically, as well as militarily. But any meaningful off-ramp will require of him to make major concessions — concessions that will grate painfully with his rancorous feelings toward Iran and Iranians.
It seems likely that the negotiations will not produce an agreement. Iran is engaged in exploding a 70 year-old paradigm through forcing — by threat of economic and market pain — a U.S. acquiesce to Iran’s ‘release’ from the panopticon of U.S. and Israeli repression. Will this involve more pain and death (more war), or less. That is the question.
Gold & Geopolitics on Modern Monetary Theory, Steve Keen’s magical accounting – An Austrian response to “balancing books”
Here’s the core Austrian insight: money is not wealth. Money is a claim on wealth. When you increase claims without increasing wealth, you haven’t made anyone richer. You’ve made the claims worth less.
Government can create infinite dollars. It cannot create infinite resources.
Keen’s model shows this without realizing it. When government runs deficits, private sector equity goes positive. Government equity goes equally negative. Zero sum. No new wealth created. Just nominal claims shuffling around.
But in the real world, that shuffling has effects. It bids up prices. It distorts signals. It enables malinvestment. It makes economic calculation harder. It punishes savers. It rewards debtors. It creates boom-bust cycles.
None of this shows up in accounting identities. All of it shows up in the economy.
The Austrian answer is simpler: maybe giving one entity monopoly control over the monetary system and letting it create infinite nominal claims is a bad idea regardless of how the accounting works.
Maybe the question isn’t “can government run deficits forever” but “should it”.
I’ll end with this: Keen says only he and Richard Murphy understand money because only they understand double-entry bookkeeping. But maybe the Austrians understand something Keen doesn’t.
The ledger isn’t the economy. The menu isn’t the meal. And you can’t eat accounting identities no matter how perfectly they balance. https://no01.substack.com/p/steve-keens-magical-accounting Meryl Nass MD, More Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it, POLITICO Poll finds

More Larry Johnson, the whole MI6 Rupert Murdock constellation of anti-Americans, and Iranian press releases: certain to never lie or bend the truth or nothin’. Okay.
We have OPEN speech, who are their counter-arguments? We don’t listen to only one side (there essentially IS no “pro-American” side anywhere) and we also don’t count only one side’s missiles falling and ignore the other.
“Dear Dr. D,
Is London wielding Israel and the Israel lobby?This is like all these “Feminine” Intel forms: is the IRGC wholly controlled by London, every action, and they’re aware they’re nothing but an employee? No. And they don’t obey and are instantly aware. This is even more diabolical. IF you are a slave, you know you are a slave, as often said. While IF you are “an employee” you THINK you are free, but are a debt slave, and this works better. Like any Narcissistic abuser, you THINK you are free in the relationship, you’re doing this for YOU, but really it’s the lies and web of the abuser.
This is what what they do in the CIA and Presidents: merely carefully feed JFK lies about Cuba from the Dulles brothers, and make it obvious he needs to nuke Russia. Or the IRGC. They set up that Iran has “a mole” into MI6 then feed that fake mole anything they want back to the Iranian leader-heirarchy, Generals, Presidents, Ayatollahs, doesn’t matter, same thing. Feed them s—t that makes them act crazy or however you want.
Narcissistic Abuse.
Or back to Israel WE KNOW Israel is a co-British Colony And ALWAYS HAS BEEN. That’s why we all point to “Balfour”. We all know that their biggest backer is London, after the U.S., the Anglos, the 5 Eyes, the “Young Lions of Tarsus” of Revelations. And we know equally well that MI6 is in push-pulling all U.S. policy too, particularly NeoCon policy. So: everyone on God’s earth hates the NeoCons like cancer: left, right, center, even people in government! Yet they keep getting installed, no matter how many dozen times they fail. HOW? At first it wasn’t obvious, but when the most hated, the biggest failing failures in the history of fail keep cutting deals to be installed in Trump’s cabinet (then banished to Mongolia, hilarious) then WHO has the power to install them OVER even the DerpState own standing bureaucracy, Pentagon, State, who hates them just as much?
Okay, WHERE are the NeoCons and their lines? U.S., UK, Israel (little of other Anglos). So they act as one glob, blob, nationless, body, in form, trying to cause a specific end…somewhere. So it’s very, very hard to tell who the “Head” is with a stateless, hidden government that can install and remove Cabinet Members at will in all three nations and more.
But we know it’s London-Israel because they are tight, and have no resistance, and go back to Day 1. The U.S. HAS support of Israel, but also 50% resistance. So like NeoCon cabinet ministers, they pay infinity money (from where????) to boost every Israel Baptist evangelist, and Shoot every Charlie Kirk, and STILL the U.S. is 50% against Israel when our leaders are 90% Pro-Israel. So it can’t be us, among the Blob, we’re a major resistance and P.I.T.A for them and their plans. And that’s even at the heights. From Truman to JFK we were WAY down on Israel, and from 2016 on we’ve been geometrically dropping them, maybe because there are no longer any Christians here. This is not reflected in the news, run as it is by the same people, but nobody dgaf about Israel here. You got Jewish community in NYC and a couple retards on the side. The media makes them appear 10x larger and relevant. Even most US Jews don’t care.
That leaves Israel is running the UK entirely, or UK is running Israel entirely. Clearly we’re not running UK! All Russiagate Stuff, AND last 3 elections all openly rigged there, and going back way far to Dulles, OSS, and 1949. Or they could be co-equal, I guess, but that never really happens in practice.
Well you could hypothesize, but now we know. Israel is being destroyed, so how is it them? All the actions set up are flattening Israel. Then on one random Tuesday after 10-7, suddenly the whole media said “It’s okay to be anti-semetic, ackshully!” The “Jewish” media, ppl have been saying for 100 years. Huh? The Jews are against the Jews? Israel is destroying Israel? Wtf???
Wait, wait: WHO BENEFITS? Quo Bono? Not Israel. Not the U.S.
That leaves….??? London and Europe. If the U.S. is internally divided, a U.S. (Republican) civil war over domestic/foreign policy. Money flows. Kicking off a world war they, Europe doesn’t fight, but we do. All the “Global capital flows” as Armstrong says, go where? To a U.S. collapsed, mired, and in a Civil War? No. To Europe.
Which is their DAILY TALK using BRITISH CITIZENS and agents of Rupert Murdoch at Fox News. EVERY. SINGLE. SENTENCE. from every Davis and Johnson are these talking points, global capital flows. The U.S. has been conquered. (although we’ve taken no damage at all). So where you move your money now, Western Man?
So we could have GUESSED, but we didn’t KNOW that 1) Apparently the media isn’t Jewish at all. Wtf. Who knew? 2) Israel has been double-crossed and got a burn notice from London, who seeing Israel’s usefulness waning, are sacrificing a queen in order to check(mate) Trump and the U.S. 3) Nutsy, manaic that he is, sadly isn’t stupid either. He realized after 10-7 that MI6 had sold him out and made what was supposed to be a minor incident making Gazan deaths logical, into an “Israel-destroying nightmare.” He then “turns on” London, shuts off their 5 Eyes intel – as Trump/Tulsi did – and blind them. Having no alternative, he rushes to the U.S. for aid and the lobby, but he’s still a maniac. That is, BOTH us and Israel have taken open action publicly identifying England as the enemy.
We see just recently that the Israeli LOBBY also is making irrational moves that out them, make the U.S. turn on Israel by headlining how much control they have over us. So it’s very likely UK is deeper into AIPAC than they are in the Israeli state, and are running more burn notices on it. But this is very, very hard to tell. The slightest strategic sense and self-preservation would tell them to hide like they always have. The only explanation everyone gives is “Everyone is suddenly stupid but me tho”. No.
Take the opposite view: Nutsy and Israel BOMBED AND FLATTENED THEMSELVES. This was their super-master plan. Uhhh…no. That does not make sense. The U.S. did it, because we like to break our own (Republican) party and have a Civil war that will kill everyone Deagle.com said, like 60M Americans. Uhhhh, no. That is NOT the case.
OR! London is broke, and desperately needs to stay in the game, the money flows to remain/come back, and to feed. They can’t get the U.S. to fight Russia for them while they eat chips and watch now, so their only hope is to start a brush fire and see if it can be puffed into a general World War. Ah. Yes. That IS what happened, and you see them running around the world doing it while other players refuse to hop in (Russia, twice, but China, just now). So running the inverse theory, still holds.
Yes, London was ALWAYS deep into Israel (proof) and the Israeli Lobby thereby. They do all the banking that moves those billions to Tel Aviv and back 100 secret ways to Congress, ‘coz sure ain’t Kentucky National Bank! You can’t say “100% total employee, W-2 form, where all actors are aware of it” because that’s not how Intel and influence works, ever. And it was never very obvious as they had aligning interests for 100 years, and all three of us for like 50 years since Suez or JFK.
But if we break up, then we are not aligning interests, proving we are still sovereign actors. Process of elimination and recent event say, “Yes, London (was) running Israel.” Israel is a northern European ethnic colony, same as Belgian Congo, and it was run almost exclusively by London, not Berlin, not Madrid, and London’s OTHER colony, the United States since 1913 or 1949.
This is only becoming clear because of the stress lines created since Oct 7. And again, WHO is in charge? Nusty is running TRUMP? Hahahahahaaha! No. When has TRUMP ever obeyed anyone? Besides that we’re 100x larger and more than half the nation hates Israel. But that the recent actions DESTROYED Israel. So Israel is completely in control of all events and chose to…suicide themselves? And not complain even now? No. This makes no sense. That leaves only London, Europe, Globalists, as Sherlock Holmes would say.

Netanyahu suddenly and belatedly exploded the situation: In Israel, both echelons — military and political — were instructed to prove that there was no ceasefire for Hizbullah by mounting a huge attack on crowded residential neighbourhoods in Lebanon – killing and wounding over 1,000 persons, largely civilians.
That reported fact (and I have no doubt whatsoever that it is a fact) breaks my brain and my heart at the same time.
The clinical observation of monstrosity, and recognizing it for just what it is, no more and no less than just what it is, is quite a sobering experience.
There he is, folks. He is killing people as we speak and he is killing them for the most monstrous of evil reasons (pure, undiluted, selfish and greedy bad, for its own sake, because he wants it).
And yet we enable him to continue doing just that, right to our collective faces. His evil logic breaks my brain, and his love of evil breaks my heart.

By that logic (and I am not implying that your logic is wrong) then all the world is slaved to the printers and owners of money. Who turn out to be the same old list of Usual Suspects, I should pointedly add!
That would mean that both Netanyahu and the assassin who eventually puts him out of his misery are merely slaves to the same “employer”: City of London, and whoever it turns out to be the owners of them.
If that’s the case (and it does seem to be the case) then is there anybody at all who is NOT a slave, and slave to who or what exactly?
It’s a puzzle alright.

After attaining a certain level of understanding of how the Mob works it is not all that meaningful to more minutely determine which of the Mob Bosses are mere Capos of a family or Capo de Tutti Capo of the entire Mafia.
Trump and Netanyahu are obviously taking orders, which means that neither one of them is the nameless one who gives them orders. Names change. The structure doesn’t.
The only way that anyone can have their freedom of speech removed is by not speaking their mind freely.
There are plenty of people seriously discouraging and obstructing your free speech, but those are mere impediments, not stoppages. The only one literally stopping you from expressing yourself freely is YOU.
i hope it is some small blessing of childlike innocence that prevents me from finding any noblility in or justification for the brutality of the developed nations.
“Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters

I bet life would get VERY interesting if everyone just popped off all of a sudden and plainly said what they really thought.
@dbs – “then is there anybody at all who is NOT a slave, and slave to who or what exactly”
yes, but they are the most hated of human beings due to their lack of decorum and concern for social position. More than likely they have “gone to the dogs” philosophically.
the bell tolls
One of the things that I bet would happen is that when the craziest ones starting saying stuff like how they were going to annihilate with bombs an entire civilization, kill all of the subhuman “Amalek” animals called Palestinians, or reduce by any means the world’s human population by 90%, then most people would not even believe that those criminally insane lunatics meant what they said.
blockades
Iran had retaliated to the US-Israeli strikes in late February by effectively restricting transit through the strait, blocking shipments tied to what it considers “unfriendly” nations, imposing tolls on vessels from “neutral” countries, and allowing free passage for “friendly” ones.
A US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, by blocking or seizing any oil tankers or gas tankers which exit Iranian ports.
Next … renewal of blockade of Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.
Will blockades expand to Indonesia’s Strait of Malacca.?
