Herbert Draper Lament for Icarus 1898 • Bessent: Aim Is To ‘Collapse’ Iran Regime Through Economic Warfare • Iran FM Blasts Trump’s Economic D-Day Thr
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle August 21 2026]“ICE, Iran quietly worked together on deporting Iranians to Iran, emails show” –CBS
Iran is the most wonderful, prosperous, loving, peaceful, harmless, place on earth! How dare Trump return citizens to the nation of their birth? As the law requires and he would be impeached for refusing? This aggression will not stand!
How dare Iranians live in Iran?
“Gaza is **not just an economic failure**—it’s what happens when **economy, infrastructure, and freedom of movement are all simultaneously broken and kept that way.**
Only GOVERNMENTS can “Keep it that way”. Left to their own devices, humans will solve it and it will end. They have to keep inputting massive energy at a dead loss. Normal humans don’t do this, it takes a committee.
Iran as Gaza means we have to face the question, “Is Iran totally unharmed and stronger than ever?” Seems half the world claims so daily. If so, there is no harm and no Gaza there. If not, we are normal people and can ask this normal question. Also, this is a “war” and follows rules of war. Can they negotiate and surrender, etc? What were the terms? Just to not have nuclear weapons and threaten their neighbors? Then get rich AF in that state? Sounds pretty easy to take. In Gaza they essentially cannot surrender, that’s what makes it a genocide. This is not true that Iran can’t settle and not even claimed in Iran. The terms are “Don’t be a Dick.” That doesn’t make war a good thing, but it’s a pivotal difference.
“Pepe Escobar: Trump Made a Move on Iran’s General—Tehran Just Wiped Out His Entire Strategy”
So Trump did nothing, had thoughts. Then Iran had thoughts. Neither thoughts can be proven.
“Michael Hudson: The West’s Financial System on the Brink of Collapse”
Has been since 1971, but at least since 2000, 25 years ago. And there is no “West”. There is the U.S. and others, and they are very, very different. Is Japan the “West”? They seem the present (and somewhat incidental) epicenter of this. How about Korea? They will be second, although overlooked.
“They tried to bomb Iran to death, says Prof Seyed Marandi, now they’re trying to starve us. But Iran is going on the attack. The only way this can end is if Trump carries out the agreed terms, including Israel out of Gaza and Lebanon”
I was kidding, but apparently we really DO need to send Iran a definition of “What a War is.” Wow. Okay then. Iran is finally planning to, you know, maybe attack later next week after 170 days and having nothing left. Great plan. You’re military geniuses. “The only way this can end” appears to be with the complete unconditional surrender of the United States to Iran, which seems unlikely, especially now.
Every aircraft carrier is floating so far. 90% of our military capacity remains intact. There have been no attacks on our nation so far. Every missile and jets parts factory is producing away. Every refinery is running fine. So far Gavin Newsom is a greater threat to us than Iran. Should we surrender to Gavin Newsom?
This isn’t funny, but you have to get a hold of yourself and look at what’s actually going on. Cross check zooming in and obsessing with the larger field. We’re less harmed than Europe, who also hasn’t taken any military strikes from Iran.
BREAKING: U.S. LOSES CONTROL OF U.S. TREASURIES AND OIL PRICES — W/ PHILIP PILKINGTON
That’s why they’re within a percent of where they were last week. That’s what “Lost all control” means. Okay, maybe, but how many times can you call armegeddon? What am I saying? Daily for 25 years and never be discredited, obviously.
“That’s what happens when the system collapses”It means that WalMart is full, Olive Garden parking lot is packed, groceries and gas are widely available, jobs are widely available and wage are rising. The very DEFINITION of “Collapse”. Okay, maybe. But you’re not convincing me. You’re over 10 years old: you DO remember ‘08 right? When Money Markets froze overnight and therefore corporate payrolls froze, the paychecks being unable to be cut? THAT is the front edge of something threatening “Collapse” – and didn’t then either. Because “Government” “Money printer go brrrr”.
“TRUMP’S ECONOMIC WARFARE ON IRAN WILL DESTROY THE U.S. ECONOMY — w/ Prof. Michael Hudson”
This is why the economy is and had been measurably improving. How dare we improve jobs and wages for black people!
“Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson:Trump Declares Most Crushing Economic Operation in US History on Iran”
Promises, promises, Mr. Trump. HOW do you think you will do that? A: It’s not IRAN he’s after. That’s the secret. It’s not Iranian money he’s attacking.
“Scott Ritter: Iran Orders Strike on EUROPE?! Trump Preparing NUCLEAR War”
Scott: Trump nuked them on TACO Tuesday, about four weeks ago, don’t you remember? You and everyone on Fox News promised us all on a stack of Bibles. But ALSO that Trump had completely surrendered and the war was over, like 6-8 weeks ago. But ALSO that Iran won and is occupying the White House.
Remember all those WoPo leaks for the LAST 4-10 years that were ALSO all proven wrong. So, totally true! This one time, the first time they’ve reported correctly! He TOTALLY said/planned this! Promise!
“Trump Tried to BRIBE Iran.”
Every nation bribes every official of every other nation even when there’s NOT a war going on. Look at FangFang. Murdoch and Bezos every day. Mossad and Epstein, not the sex part but the “Tradable Insider information” when the Prime Minister leaves critical meetings and phones Jeffy first to front-run. That’s “Bribery”, sir. Zionists donating to Massie’s campaign, same thing. So this is like saying “Fish drink water.” Yes. And tells a lot about the headspace of the speaker, who is as dangerously naive as a toddler. “But nobody bribes nobody, this is the first time ever.”
“A Mass Panic began in KIEV: a 50,000-Strong North Korean Army entered UKRAINE and launched an ATTACK”
I find this un-credible to believe, but go ahead and show me. 1) Forces can no longer mass anywhere in theatre. 2) I doubt there are 50k Koreans anywhere in Russia. 3) Why Koreans? Are Russians not scary anymore? Why not Martians?
“guest Scott Ritter. America’s Secret Laws for Absolute Power”
Clearly not working, as their very NEXT article is about how we have no power at all, Empire is collapsing, and we’re surrendering to a 3rd world nation with no air force or navy. Which is it? “We’re Up but also Down, Left is also Right. News at Eleven.” This is only now, at end of Empire? So Vietnam is a conspiracy theory? We won there? Our absolute power and prestige was shown in Iraq, 25 years ago? Or is something else entirely going on? Seems we lack this “Absolute Power” since, like forever, 1820 or something.
“2. If you don’t want Trump’s way — who is proposing another way?
A. Bipartisan Fiscal Commissions (Congress)**”
These are the most concrete alternatives. They aim to stabilize debt through negotiated spending cuts + revenue changes.”We just did this and Trump then wasted no time on it. It’s called DOGE. We FOUND hundred-billion, maybe a trillion in fraud, most of it open and obvious, and it was widely publicized. CONGRESS DID NOTHING. We’re not talking “Cutting”, we’re talking “Stop open crimes.” If Congress can’t do this – which was obvious they wouldn’t – then there’s no such thing as “negotiated spending cuts + revenue changes.” It’s a fantasy.
This is what happens when your government has been conquered by a hostile force and you’re a colony in your own lands. Congress is the Satraps of the Colonizing forces: Banks. …Roughly speaking. What is most of the “Debt”? A: Also owed to the same colonial banks and powers. Illegally, since it was put on illegally. By illegal, unelected governments. Bribery, by traitors, directed by foreign agents. We can repudiate any part, any area, or any amount of that debt, with a very strong legal case, but it has political consequences. It’s better to wait/cause Europe to collapse first.
In addition, thanks to Government, Health Care is 5-10x what it should cost for no reason at all; in fact care is far, far worse than ever. So we could cut that back to 1990 levels (as % of GDP), double the quality, and use those trillions to pay off the debt. Easy as one. …Just one example.
Why don’t we? A: We’re colonized and are fighting our Second War of Independence. As many say daily.
