Otto Dix The Triumph of Death 1934 • Trump Says Iran Faces ‘Decapitation’ If It Doesn’t Sign A ‘Good’ Deal (ZH) • Trump Says US And Iran In Talks, Eve
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle August 4 2026]“Iran Denies Negotiations With US After Trump Announces Talks For Monday Afternoon
WHICH Iran? And they’re calling Saudi Arabia a lying dog-faced pony soldier, not us.
Also there definitely ARE negotiations going on at some level. Don’t be a retard. What’s happening is, back-channel, unofficial negotiations are brisk, which are the only origin point that any REAL negotiations begin. Same as most times in history. There are +30 factions in Iran, thanks to their own strategy, and so many of them are for or against everything. Trump is talking to one that is tepidly discussing. They quote the most fanatical IRGC spokesman who is rabidly not. Okay, but that doesn’t mean you’re right: the discussions are happening and the IRGC is not running things if that’s true. Right? Nor should they! They’re not the Civilian government I thought, Right?
Okay /Adulting until tomorrow; nobody wants the Truth. It’s boring and doesn’t make fee-fees. I want my hate.
“‘I am an American and therefore I am a protectionist.’ And not only that, if you were a free trader, you could be accused of being pro-British.”
The first part is true. The second I’ll have to further confirm. Probably; it follows. Now you can understand why we were so reluctant to bail out England’s war-making bacon in WWI and II. They were the most powerful, and half our banking system was German/Continental. The OTHER half was British loans, so it was pretty close either way. We could easily have sided with the Germans in WWI if not for Globalist Bernays.
Wars were England trying to stop the German Empire from uniting with Turkey, under the new rail, the Rimland of Eastern Europe they have effectively destroyed every year since 1914, and being a rival to British sea power. WWII was similar to get Russia back that escaped them after 20 years of investing in Bolsheviks there, they set up and funded Hitler. So WHY would the U.S. help on either of those projects when Britain is ruling the planet? Hard to imagine but in that world (1901) we’re the major underdog, barely holding up.
“It has always been driven by … a hatred for civilization itself.”
This seems hard to believe unless we were watching it daily. We DID say this, always and since 1949, and were shouted down as neanderthal cranks who didn’t understand Progressiveism. …While everything said, from Marriage, Abortion, Hollywood, etc, happened day after day, exactly as said. The people were even more destroyed than predicted: look at the meme of Socialism being more deadly than an atomic bomb, with a picture of Detroit.
“Larry Johnson : LIVE @9AM – Trump Backs Down AGAIN”
Continuing the norm, every time Trump DOES bomb, he’s a maniac, but every minute he does NOT bomb, he’s a loser. Yup. #Logic! Okay, Larry, well I expect him to bomb again shortly, so you’ll be happy and applaud him then, right? TACO is listed elsewhere, with No1, and ppl love war so much it still hasn’t occurred to them they’re rabidly promoting it. Hating Trump is more emotionally important than stopping wars n’ stuff.
“Russians view the West as evil. Rightly so. A few exceptions of people of morality, honor and integrity merely confirm this fact.”
There is no “West” but I agree, and most people living here do too. It is all being done over our dead bodies.
“TRUMP’S POLL NUMBER COLLAPSE AS WESLEY CLARK EXPOSES US FOREIGN POLICY LUNACY REGARDING IRAN”
This is very clearly entirely untrue. His polling hasn’t changed and is relatively strong, considering. Also many of the Midterm races are in, and there’s a very good chance Trump just wins. Flat. No extra actions, of which he has many, many options. This is against history, but as the polling and numbers come in, that’s the fact.
“Government Will Steal Your Land to Feed the AI Machine “ Yes, but Why?
And Armstrong/China, it appears, like the entire Russia war is erased from the news, England is erased from the news, China’s economy is/has collapsed and is erased from the news. …So it must be important. Whatever they DON’T talk about and can’t notice must be important. What is that?
China’s oil consumption is down 40%. Huh? Yes, if you want to know why Oil isn’t $200, that’s probably why, and Trump/Bessant knew that already and we didn’t. As you know BTU = GDP in a 1:1 ratio almost. No energy = no economy. Of course they’re having their version of a Civil War there right now as ministers are rounded up and disappear in the middle of the night. So if you’re Joe corporate, not time to make major investments. Youth unemployment numbers were hidden over a year ago, so must be catastrophic. Covid made everyone realize supply chain issues, and China is no longer the low-cost manufacturer, several places are cheaper. We see this also in Korea, so it’s confirming.
It’s so bad, it appears that China was buying and stockpiling oil DURING THE IRAN WAR, and still didn’t affect prices. They are not now, just lowering imports. But the real measure is the volume at the refineries. All of this is hard to tell – no solid numbers – but also hard to hide, being economy-wide, with coal, electric, all in similar ways if true.
“EPA has approved two new fluorinated pesticides,”
If they weren’t poison, they wouldn’t kill pests, would they? Insects are animals; so are we. Discuss.
“UK industry was hollowed out by this same “Triffin Dilemma” before and after the weakened British Empire was demoted”
The very reason we need to stop it, stop Empire, and get on the “American System” pronto. Generals have been advocating this to save the nation since the 90s, and most were removed. That cadre in the 90s were called “America First” and all died in a small plane crash.
“The current BRICS movement asserts that no empire is necessary to manage world trade,”
We never needed one before. Why now? It’s efficiency vs resiliency. Yes, if USUK is the only Navy it’s cheaper: but that leads to other problems we see today. About Sovereignty. Since that is the only option, do you want to do it voluntarily, by trade, under “Trump’s” plan, or let it catch up to you in a collapse and war?
“the actual limits of the US military are being laid bare for global analysis../..Israel is a little farther from Iran, but not enough to matter” We saw that laid bare in 1974 and 2002, didn’t matter. Clearly the “Little further” matters a lot as Iran doesn’t bomb Israel at all anymore. So: no missiles, or not enough left with that range. They are NOT stronger than when they started and are NOT running the Middle East. They remain a mere inconvenience in an area beset by horrors.
“President Donald Trump appears to be subordinate in the military command structure to powerful zionist financial and intelligence elites.”
Very clearly not true as the Intelligence Elites try to kill him monthly. We know they fight him on every other front. Also he is subject to Zionists, which is why he openly insults them daily and arranged to have them bombed flat. RU Sure?
“Trump needs to gracefully admit defeat to Iran,” Since one of us has a navy and infinity missiles, they need to gracefully admit defeat to us. Right? Or this is the first time in history a military surrendered to the lack of a military,
“which would make the US lose a war against a peer adversary like Russia or China rapidly.”
It would, but we are not fighting them. They are our ALLIES in this. If they had the slightest interest, they would have pushed their advantage, at all, anywhere. They are not. He’s the magic of “Not Noticing”.
“Three weeks ago, following a US violation of a memorandum of understanding, Tehran mandated that all maritime traffic through the Strait require Iranian approval”Maybe. But that means Iran Annexed Oman. Does that seem correct and just to you? Their anger was that the ships did NOT take the Iranian but the OMANI route. Iran says ships are not allowed to visit Oman, they are blockading them. This is war, but you’re not being honest at all. You’re not the victim, you are the invader now.
“Treasury Secretary Bessent has been talking about revising Bretton Woods.”
Yes and no. That’s when we all sit down and sign things. However, a new system will organically emerge to replace it without most people signing anything. He is both Causing it by having back up plans, and riding a tiger that has its own control. Jim Sinclair said similar back in 2001-2010 when no power-people were even trying to implement solutions: no one would trust anyone, so they would trust gold. They don’t get to decide. Reality decides for them. We are one layer removed from that by having GLD, XRP, Shanghai gold exchange, etc, but Reality and distrust is still in charge, not people who sign papers. This is important as it means COMMODITIES are in change, and people who WORK, like China, America. Not the ECB and World Bank. Money is a SYMBOL. Symbols don’t control the Real. I can’t believe I have to say this all the time.
“the United States is doing everything possible to preserve and strengthen its hegemony”
All 250 nations do this. Russia is doing this. It’s only bad and wrong when we do it. Right? And we’re not. Not if we’re retreating to the Western Hemisphere.
“US pulling back in Iraq: troops and Patriot batteries out of northern Iraq”As noted, we are on schedule to pull back those bases signed years ago. Should we break those agreements and stay? TACO: unless we continue the policies of W Bush, we lose!
“August 1, Simplicius, US Careens Into Senseless Iran Escalation Amidst Lack of Options”
We have hundreds of options. It’s not our strait and we get nothing from it. So we can leave, and on our leaving, have the continent devolve into chaos. Discuss? Is that your preference? Because it would seem the Gulf States are renting our military to fix this first and prevent Mecca from falling into Shi’a hands.
We are probably coordinating with Japan, but to what end? Is it to……squeeze Europe? Drink their milkshake instead? What else would it be? What’s your counter-theory? They would NOT steal free money Europe has exposed on the table, after being dicks to everyone?
“Iran FM Accuses Israel Of False Flag After Mystery Drone Strike On Egyptian Port”
The U.S. and Trump is 100% controlled by Zionists. BUT ALSO he is totally not controlled by Zionists at all, and needs to be carefully tricked into obeying them. Got it, Iran. Roger-Dodger. Pick one.
““Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things… they can do it on a state basis,”
It is illegal to do on a Federal Basis and always has been. Or maybe you can point to the line in the Constitution that overrules 10A. This is an unfortunate way to get around to it, and there are many moving parts, but it’s going there like it or not. Could be worse: we could have the British or Canadian system OF national health care, as they run out of other people’s money and predictably move to Eugenics. For many years now. Which is a top cause of Canadian death.
Today:
“China arms Iran while hollowing out America’s supply chains.”No they are not, we blew up the bridges and ports. However, like Bannon, this cadre of GOP Moles wants us to be destroyed fighting CHINA, not Russia. Why? IDGAF what China does. Only what We do. Like let in fentanyl and sell our critical infrastructure, allow them to tariff us 100:1. So this is not happening. Which is surprising and noteworthy.
“• Trump Says Iran Faces ‘Decapitation’ If It Doesn’t Sign A ‘Good’ Deal (ZH)
Well that seems to be your plan all along and you’ve failed at it so far, so…why now exactly? This was always the problem.
“Curiously, Trump is again insisting that when Iran says talks are off, they are lying…”
It’s literally impossible that NO Iranian is speaking to NO American, anywhere in the world. Yet reporters dive into a tank of sharks to promote this. The question is WHICH Iranians, and are they RELEVANT.
“• Iran’s Regime Demands Full Control of Strait of Hormuz (Catherine Salgado)
They are annexing Oman. Translation. They have riddled Oman with powerful bombs, and left them there.
It’s amazing how hard it is for reporters to tell the Truth and speak clearly. This is objective fact, and is even “Legal” in a sense for Iran to do so. Yet they refuse to report. This is like someone invades your house, you’re found standing over them with a gun in your hand, then say “Gun? What gun? I don’t see any gun.” This is self-defense; it’s okay to admit the obvious and now YOU look like the guilty party. So why? A: Because they ARE the guilty party and they know it. Otherwise what’s to hide? Shame and deception would never occur to you otherwise.
“Now the Trump administration must finish the job and eliminate them.”
Really? How? Why is it our job?
“For 47 years, Iranian terrorists have attacked Americans and spread jihad around the world. It’s time to finish the job.”
Have they? Or were they responding to American and Israeli actions?
“By anointing a single man to coordinate the world’s response, we instantly created a single point of failure.”
So with Federal Medicare and other Federal agencies. Now I need bribe only one man, not 50. Much more efficient. Pharma shows this daily with Fauci’s wife.
Criminals always prefer this, and The Galactic Empire, and the Rebellion always wants organic decentralization and diversity. Somehow this is flip-flopped on the Left who think they are Princess Leia’s Rebellion with the Ewoks, not soul-crushing billionaires using stormtroopers to force compliance by staying in your house. I can’t understand it; I just report it. But decentralized always looks like chaos and always works better. (Up to a point)
This goes double for all the Reporters of Taibbi and Kunstler: Reporters defend only Empire, against any emergence of Truth. When it appears, they double down for Empire again. This demonstrates how clearly they have sided with it. Their adoration is only to POWER, never Truth.
Pick up a newspaper since 1990. Unchanged. Worse each day.
“Manufacturing Index Reflects Continued Strong Growth – Highest in 4 Years (CTH)
How can this be with high gas prices? You tell me. I see it on the ground. Every restaurant is full, highways are packed, they’re still building retail and residential feverishly against my advice. It might be irrational, sure, but it’s happening. He economy is humming and unchanged. Jobs are significantly easier to get than the last 10 years.
“The blue-collar jobs are expanding significantly. There is massive upward pressure on wages for blue collar workers as the manufacturing sector continues to expand.”
Why can’t Trump do America First, create jobs and wages? Why don’t the American voters seem to notice how bad he is when jobs and wages are rising sharply? SMH. And above, “We just say things” that Trump’s polls have suddenly plummeted. After claiming that wrongly since 2016. No they have not, and saying it doesn’t make it true now either. This is why we need people who have “Shame” which Larry Johnson and the gang do not. It’s simply a lie. Drive to any WalMart and check. Larry himself knows it’s a lie. He doesn’t care and wants to mud f–k your mind. This is why I get terse with them.
““Collecting world data is very expensive, and Elon has a great advantage”
Speaking of deadly narcissists with a single point of failure. Don’t. Wouldn’t even matter if Elon were good, which he isn’t — what happens to this structure when he passes? A: It goes to a Jeff Bezos and George Soros.
“Sec. RFK Jr. confirms the ABOLISHMENT of gain-of-function research,”
Obama and Congress ALREADY abolished it. They didn’t care and no one was arrested. Talk is cheap.
As the United States approaches its semi-quincentennial, the contrast between Washington’s triumphalist rhetoric and its material reality has never been starker. Defined by deep precarity at home and centuries of perpetual warfare abroad, this genocidal slaving oligarchy is entering a period of profound systemic decay.

This evening tune in one of the national TV news shows and remind yourself the majority watching believe every word that is uttered. Some like their news in a waffle cup and some like their news in a sugar cone and others prefer theirs in a bowl. The news is the same there is only a slight difference in the manner in which it is served.
As i am told, their lives are too busy for them to be informed. Yet they have hours and hours to watch the moronoscope. How convenient.just as every cop is a criminal

NIH Hid Public Comments about Wuhan and Ivermectin
July 22, 2026 – Internal NIH emails, stemming from a PETA lawsuit over the agency’s comment-hiding practices, show officials admitting they used keyword filters to erase public comments referencing the Wuhan Institute of Virology and ivermectin, and discussing “neutral” filters broad enough to suppress conversation about “COVID vaccinations generally.”Read the Documents

Col. Larry Wilkerson: National security state and Predatory capitalist state within the American empire
and mention of Abby Martins video
“The World in 2019” (The Economist) had a picture of a pangolin on the cover (bottom left). If you believe that was a coincidence…
Lockstep. All planned.On another note, this excellent post from Timothy McDonough in the comment section of The Focal Points about the Senior Executive Service:
“Public Law 95-454 Title IV Created the Deep State
The death knell of the American republic was the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. It created the Senior Executive Service, SES, the generals of the American praetorian guard. Even the president cannot hire nor fire them at-will by law….” (much more and well worth it if you scroll down the comments at the link).
The SES is the deep state.
