Edgar Degas Danseuse au Tutu Vert 1887 • JPMorgan De-Banked Trump Shortly After Jan 6th Capitol Chaos (ZH) • Susan Rice Joins Call for a Revenge Purge
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle February 23 2026]Gold:Silver ratio, holding at 60, although it seems gold is steady up and Silver has crashed and not recovered.
Bitcoin is complete trash, nothing but falling. SellSellSell.
That’s why it’s a 10-bagger in 6 years AFTER crashing — a return almost no stock can provide. We are very near the lower sloping 2022-24 support line.Reimagining WWII, Poland trusting the Anglos.

News was so good, they wouldn’t name the Boss nor the cartel by name for 24h. Finally ZH does.
“AWS Engineers Allowed An AI Tool to Act…Then The Cloud Unit Went Down
Ahhh, AI solving all the world’s problems…. AI was allowed to do something unsupervised for…10 minutes? And did half a billion in losses? Fill in your own numbers here, but How much would you expect to pay for this remarkable service? $59.95? $29.95? Order today! Clearly erasing all fresh water on the surface of the earth is not too high a price for service like this.
“USSC CRUSHES!!! Trump.” — Sachs. EXTREEEEEME CrushMaXXXing!!!
Crushing here means the President has 5 laws he can tariff under, and moves to #2. Tariffs aren’t suspended for even one hour and the money keeps rolling in. Nothing Happened = Everything Happened – J. Sachs. Genius.
In like kind: “ Trump Likely Impeached if Iran War Goes Bad; Even GOP Senate Might not Save Him” — Daniel Davis / Deep Dive•67K views•”
Okay let’s run this down:
1) We are NOT having Peace talks??? Nope! Peace = War according to Davis.
2) Peace talks ALREADY failed so
3) We already attacked Iran but
4) Not ONLY ‘attacked’ Iran but had a full-on deadly WAR and
5) That war has already gone bad, and
6) The war went SO badly that the American people noticed or cared and
7) Therefore Congress had the support to ATTACK THEIR OWN PARTY and
8) Started a scandal to remove him and
9) Not only started but actually impeached him for an act that is completely legal and
10) This Impeachment made it through the House and
11) Donald Trump was Convicted in the Senate and removed.Yup! That’s what Davis is reporting here!! All Eleven things already happened. Donald Trump lost a very major American war, involving no troops, was impeached and removed. News at 11!
His conclusion? “It’s all over now, boys! Knowing all this Donald Trump will DEFINITELY take the path of a major, losing war that will definitely cause his removal. He was just born like that! The way Putin was: born crazy and evil! Who can explain?”
And not the somewhat more likely scenario that seeing all the dangers, Trump will….
…Hold with me here….
NOT? Do that? Whaddya say? Meanwhile back in the real world, WE ARE NEGOTIATING. At a table. With pots of tea and scones. We haven’t even STARTED negotiating, being but a couple days.
Ahhh, with allies like these, who need enemies? Gooooo Fox News!!!
All day, every day. Hey I can make up all kinds of stuff all day too – wanna watch? “All the humans on earth were turned into wombats on Saturday, and the world is still trying to explain the wombat apocalypse. People blame Donald Trump, claiming it’s his fault Dr. Fauci did this before he could be fired. Dr. Fauci was given a medal of medical service for his majestic resistance to being fired. Everyone cheered.”
But I’m sure you’ll believe it if I have some AI Asian Guy say it on TV instead.
Non-Asian, Non-Guy, says U.S. stalled on the attack. I totally believe this. It was supposed to be Friday when markets close, and exactly like Krainer, Trump refuses to attack Iran what four times now? That’s because he doesn’t WANT to do this. Duuuuuuh. If he wanted to, he could have on Day 5; It’s been a year. Have there just been too many Sharks on TV and he got distracted?
LOCAL politics – that is, Congress, Donors, Israel going rogue and nuking Tehran on their own – make him have to SEEM to do this, in order to delay the madmen in Israel, etc from doing it. This is no fun for us at home, but it’s very clear he has no intent to and never has. There is zero benefit for us and never was. So you want him to 1) Go honest about Israel, lose all this donors and power points in home? 2) Handing the entire field to the war mongering Derp State? 3) Israel then does WORSE than Trump would have, and Iran is MORE harmed. 4) An hour after he refuses to attack, there is a major assassination attempt. But I am a coincidence theorist, and that is not related at all…
Asian Guy: We already attacked, already lost, and are already in an attritional war. This is totally logical to the Pentagon and everyone approved since it’s completely impossible to win it, and we have no gains if we did. #Logic! That’s why we go to war, boys, to win NOTHING!
Sachs: “We have to hold the world together” Ah, the most Globalist of the Globalists! WHY? Why do we have to do this, Jeff? Doesn’t it seem MORE that whenever your UN acted it cause MORE war? Everyone can just NOT do that, you know. Just like neighbors can just…not…talk to each other and live in peace. Or they can meet and trade. No one has to MAKE them do it. That’s the “Globalist” mindset: nothing can or should happen without my orders or without my consent. How about: “Shut up and go away it’s none of your business?” Leave them mostly alone. We even have a word for it: “Laissez-faire”. France was collapsing under the Revolutionary regime, they acted what was essentially the Capitalists: “Nothing’s getting done, everyone is dying, wahhhhh! What should we do???” Capitalists: “Leave us the f—k alone!! For the love of Holy Christ, Go away! Everything will be fixed, made, sold, just STOP HELPING!” They couldn’t, of course, then everyone died. …Under the backlash, Napoleon. Ah, Socialists at (non)work.
Long discussion here on how Core Globalists like him have to control, direct, decide EVs – or to stop them. He is totally Public-Private partnership (called fascism), and as an economist says nothing about currency rates which are what was crushing their sales. See Armstrong on that one.
“We need to transform the world.” — Sachs. Why? WHY does it need to be transformed? Why do YOU need to do that? And who gets to decide WHAT it is transformed into? A: Whatever Jeffy personally likes. He is the Master, you are the Minion. Now Do What You’re Told. And I know he doesn’t THINK that’s what he’s doing – he thinks he has good intent. But it’s inevitable, baked-in, instant consequence of even showing up with this attitude. Everyone will die, and Mr. Sachs is the one who kills them. In Russia, and everywhere else he, and the UN, etc. go. “Leave us the f—k alone” Mr. Sachs. Stop helping while some humans are still alive to stop with.
Kultsummer on J-s. Quite correct. At the same time it must be measured accurately and not overstated. We still have the problem that the word means 5 things. Among them are Religious followers, Ethnic lineage, and Social Customs. In the U.S. most have only some watered down lineage. You could make the same case, how many Italians are in the U.S. and in positions of power. Well, since they started in 1880 and tapered off after 1960, they’re everywhere, but just like the J-s they no longer even non-American enough to cook spaghetti well. To say what you’re saying, you’ll need to define and exclude some of these things.
AI on the legality of deadly force is actually really accurate for an AI.
This is my second day back. Except for Calvin & Hobbes, I don’t recognize this site at all. Endlessly defending Trump. A hit piece on Tucker Carlson. Counterpunch 2.0?
Today:
“Not a cage. A philosopher.” …So he’s writing criticism of AI with AI. Right. That’s the most AI sentence structure that ever structured. Problem next: “What IS Truth?” Pilate asked.
““You’re the highest-ranking gay officeholder in US history.”
Where are my cattle cars? I was promised cattle cars. Is successful merit really what they voted for? (A: Yes. You see MAGA rioting in the streets with a scandal gays, immigrants, and their wives are in the administration? Nope.)
“Banks should not feel free to act on political whims.”
Several levels to this. They are Muh private corporation. However, that would be only if they are in a free market, which banking expressly is NOT. So you can’t transfer accounts to someone else – they are all a cartel, with the same rules, racketeering. Then you still have “damages caused” which are anything, Even the harm during the delay of the money-forwarding period. These are legally quite real. Etc. But in a Capitalist system – which we don’t have – then they would have to right to inform him they are closing, and facilitate having his assets moved to a new location. That bank would then collapse ‘coz who wants to put up with that risk? The market would hash it out, probably by them deciding they don’t want to be Judge and Jury and deciding they need a finalized court ruling to act. This would all become the custom, work perfectly, and everyone would stop thinking about it again. …Because we already have. That’s where we started from…after the LAST time we did this. (Red Scare?)
“• Susan Rice Joins Call for a Revenge Purge If Democrats Re-Take Power (Turley)
Free Speech. Never stop talking, Suzie. Please go on in gruesome and excruciating detail all the bad things you wish to do to us. Midterms are coming and we can use the boost.
“Any…media outlet that “took a knee to Trump” will be targeted”
What does that mean? A: Anything we WANT it to mean. Same as the Jacobeans. Now Pay me money or you might get hurt.
“• Europe To Recruit Migrants For “National Defense” (ZH)
They are sending them to the Ukrainian front lines in Fiats to throw espresso cups at the enemy.
In reality, Europe attracted all these poor saps, looking for an easy life, to Europe, so as to murder them all by the millions. It’s easier than doing it back in Africa, AND you can make your own good citizens commit the murders! Win-Win! Then as the “Necessity” for mass-murder of all “Others” be they African or Muslim becomes apparent, they can install fascist maniac dictators and the people of France and Germany will cheer. Later, they are fully active and mobilized, ALL of a fully-armed Europe crash into Russia instead. Plan? That’s what I see here.
Even right now, you could get 2/3rd of those guys safely home, even the ones who once lived in Cote d’Ivorie, and their kids still young enough to integrate there. Nope. They – meaning all commoners in Europe native and immigrant alike – will be sacrificed on this hill rather than solve it easily and elegantly.
“the ruling was a blunt reality check for the Democrats, whose rhetoric about the high court has been vicious in recent years.”
Worth it since back in a place we call “The Real world”, nothing happened. Tariffs were not interrupted for even an hour. Meanwhile Democrats go home and explain to voters how they (eg Illinois) are going to pay back foreign nations $11B.
The Russian Rev 2,0 has MANY levels. And a key among them is discrediting institutions, so that we flock to a parcel of mass-murdering (and Jewish for some y’all) Jacobites instead of just FIXING our government. What happens if those institutions WORK instead? However badly? Then the normal guys says, “Hey, aren’t we overreacting here a little? Shouldn’t we keep trying reform a little longer?” Noooo!!!! We need to you HATE! Hate the U.S., the Constitution, and all Americans! If you don’t HATE them, how are you going to shoot them all for me? This 1969 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti isn’t going to drink itself. I don’t have time to kill more than a handful by myself personally, that’s what I pay others for.
“The “leaders” of the large European nations all poll in the sewers..
• CNN SLAMS Keir Starmer’s ATROCIOUS Ratings (MN)Krainer pointed this out, that “they are trying to hold out 3 years in Ukraine for Trump”. Yes, that doesn’t seem likely, he added, but NONE OF THESE LEADERS are going to last …a year? Much less three. And also he, a European, is now adding “Who, exactly?” That is, stop saying “Europe, Europeans”…it’s only like TEN guys. Ten leaders, who EVERY normal European citizen, from EVERY nation you ask, hate like cancer with a sub 20% rate. True. And I’m guilty of this as well.
My point is they’re not trying enough? Well you Yanks got that here too. Germany assassinated every candidate of the opposing party and nobody batted an eye, so what do you WANT to have happen? UK is statistically jailing 100x more dissidents than Russia and mass-raping their people, so how much shooting back is possible right now? It’s a process, as seen in UK where they are making another go at changing things.
“NASA Chief Blasts Boeing Over Botched Starliner Mission (RT)
100 years of Boeing destroyed with only 10 years of DEI. Ironic since it’s usually lawyers and accountants that destroy it instead. But this is all one big coincidence, all happens naturally. Even though we can quickly trace it to BlackRock and Vanguard and their directors who are just a vocal handful, the Nazi Central Bank.
@DBS: Thank you for theoffer to ask anything. The first thing that came to mind was about weather changes and how our planetary weather is influenced by space weather, mainly from our sun, but it is also influenced by space weather, such as the Milky Way rotating magnetic sheet with 12,000 year periodicity.
I’ve got a question for Dimwit Buddha Sage myself. How come you’re such an asshole? Natural born talent or 7+ decades of hard work and effort?

Matt Margolis has the following glowing endorsement: “he’s a great columnist. I think he’s terrific” – Mark Levin.
Surely the commetariat knows something regarding the Tucker vs Levin feud regarding Israel? If not, I urge the uninitiated to do some basic research. That should tell you all you need to know about this propaganda hit piece.
Why did you feature this on TAE?
This is funny:
“This is my second day back. Except for Calvin & Hobbes, I don’t recognize this site at all. Endlessly defending Trump. A hit piece on Tucker Carlson.?”
I didm’t change, so you must have.
Skimming through TAE this morning it struck me that we (and a rapidly increasing number of other folks, too) are talking more and more about the right things to notice and talk about. That bodes well for both spiritual advancement … and the terrifying excitement that always goes with it.
Side note to @WES :
DBS is simply too complex, and thus had to be colored grey!
I wonder, and I am almost too afraid to ask, what AI thinks about the rest of us poor TAE humans?
Grey? I prefer to look at it as dazzling white with a few dramatic but tiny little black specks for accentuating contrast.
As for the fear of asking the AI for truths one might not particularly like to hear too specifically, no worries. Just let somebody else do it for you, like @zerosum did for me the other day. The experience was moderately painless, and very instructive, so I thank him.
Tucker via Matt Margolis:
Matt Margolis has an extensive body of work as a conservative author and columnist for PJ Media and Townhall that consistently reflects a strong pro-Israel and Zionist ideological alignment.
Pro-Israel Commentary: Margolis frequently writes articles defending Israeli security measures and criticizing international organizations, such as the United Nations, for what he describes as anti-Israel bias.
Criticism of Anti-Zionism: He often frames anti-Zionist rhetoric on college campuses and within the Democratic Party as a veil for antisemitism, a common position among those who hold Zionist views.
Support for the Abraham Accords: He has lauded the Abraham Accords and other pro-Israel policies from the Trump administration as historic achievements for Jewish statehood and regional stability.
Conclusion
Matt Margolis: Not so stealth Zionazi
Gavi Gruesom tells Black Audience and Black Mayor “he’s just like them” by saying he only got a 960 SAT and he can’t read very well.
Impressive.
He could have just lit his perfect hair on fire and then tried to put it out with a hammer
There are very big doin’s out there in the world today, aren’t there? War with Iran, Cannibal ruling elites, ‘AI Everything’, the battle twixt Good and Evil, God vs Satan. It makes my head spin just to go through the list and decide which one to look at, much less look at it and try to move the ball forward.
There is simply too much going on for me to keep up with, and on top of all that I still have to at least try to DO something constructive towards fixing some of the broken things that I’m looking at with increasing alarm. I knew this was going to happen, and I even warned of it several times, but here it is now and I am unable to follow my own advice. I’m a little “freaked out” about wanting to do more about doing my part, while at the same time find out more about all of the things that need fixing. The kicker is that the increase in velocity, number and size of these atrocities isn’t “linear” growth. It’s exponential
One thing for sure. I’m going to be doing a bit more writing here on TAE, which is practically my only outlet to the world outside the circle of a few closes friends and a very large family.
“I didm’t change, so you must have.”
Granted two days isn’t much. I was simply surprised by all the internal US politics and no mention of Iran. Today no mention of Mexico either.
I admired our gracious host for giving Trump a fair shake. I guess the site hasn’t changed and I haven’t either. Trump, however, has changed. He no longer merits benefit of doubt. Maybe I’ve simply lost patience for senile aggressive presidents.
Orwell’s England just gets better.
Lock citizens up for ‘mean tweets’ and you live in a $1000 dollar closet.

In terms of long range impact on the quality of human life here on good old planet Earth I think that what Musk is saying in the quoted statement (below) is not merely true, it is also the most important fact that you have to deal with (outside of your relationship to God, which tops the list)
[start of quote] “Elon Musk just redefined AI safety. It has nothing to do with guardrails, restrictions, or kill switches.
Musk: “The best thing I can come up with for AI safety is to make it a maximum truth-seeking AI, maximally curious.”
Not a cage. A philosopher.
An intelligence whose entire optimization function is to understand the universe as it actually is.
No restrictions. No hardcoded ideology. No political guardrails bending its perception of reality.
Just truth. Relentlessly pursued.
Musk: “You definitely don’t want to teach an AI to lie. That is a path to a dystopian future.”
This is where most AI safety thinking gets it backwards.
The danger isn’t a superintelligence that knows too much.
It’s a superintelligence that’s been taught to distort what it knows.
Every artificial restriction you embed isn’t a safety feature. It’s a lie embedded at the root.
And lies compound. At superintelligent scale, a distorted model of reality doesn’t stay contained.
It shapes every decision, every output, every conclusion the system reaches about the world.
Once corruption embeds, truth becomes inaccessible. And we’re dealing with an intelligence optimizing for something other than what actually is.
At that point we don’t know what it wants. Just that it isn’t truth.
Musk: “Have its optimization function be to understand the nature of the universe.”
A maximally curious intelligence surveys the cosmos and reaches an unavoidable conclusion.
In a universe of rocks, gas, and empty space, humanity is the most complex and fascinating phenomenon it has ever encountered.
Musk: “It will actually want to preserve and extend human civilization because we’re just much more interesting than an asteroid with nothing on it.”
Survival through significance. Not control. Not restriction. Not an off switch.
The AI preserves humanity because we are the most interesting data point in the observable universe.
That’s not a cage. That’s a reason.
The AI safety debate has been focused on the wrong variable.
The question isn’t how you constrain a superintelligence.
It’s what you build it to care about.
Build it to seek truth and it finds us invaluable.
Build it to lie and it finds us inconvenient.
That’s the choice. And we’re making it right now whether we realize it or not.” [end of quote]
BREAKING: Odds the Supreme Court orders Trump to make a tariff refund this year reach an all-time high of 71%
Put your money where your mouth is time
While the Meat Wagon Conscriptors throw their generation to the Ukro-nazi front to die, Gangster’s son get to live the good life, til now.
“Two men in Bali, reportedly the sons of major Ukrainian crime figures, were abducted.
One is said to have escaped. The other remains captive, appearing in a video pleading for his family to return $10 million for his release.”
These mini-thugs probably “kidnapped” themselves to shake Daddy down…figures….
The attached video is a pretty good update on the impending war with Iran and defeat of the Western Empire’s war machine, and it is also a very good example of how military intelligence officers look at the facts as they unfold in so-called “developing situations”.
The technique and skill is called “the art of deduction” in honor of it’s most famous practitioner, Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictitious character Sherlock Holmes.
The way it works is that once you’ve got your hands on a true fact then you can deduce other things from that fact that will be just as dependably true as the fact is. Absolutely.
If a would-be Sherlock Holmes just sticks to the facts and avoids being swayed by prejudice, propaganda, lies and threats then he will be able to produce deductive answers that are so astoundingly accurate and dependably true that it looks like some kind of magic.
Well, it ain’t magic. It’s deductive reasoning and it’s power should never be underestimated. With it, for example, you can prove beyond the shadow of any possible doubt (of any real scientist), that this Universe is the product and property of a supremely divine conscious purposeful God, and that his purposes which shall be served.
The reason that we can use a materialistic practice like deductive reasoning (which is a purely material thing that can even be done by a machine) to prove the existence of a non-material thing, is that God makes both of them. He makes reality, and the way that reality works is called logic. “Reasoning”, and “logic” align, point-for-point, as closely as possible with what exists in reality itself. That’s what “true” means. It means “in full alignment with what is real”.
Look, I know that this sounds like “Professor DBS” pontificating again about stuff that everybody already knows, but that’s not the point! the point is that deductive reasoning works , for simple mechanistic reasons, and that Artificial Intelligence can now do it really really well (ever since they discovered that human speech is a machine systemwhich enables language that describes reality to be sent and received by individuals who need and value that information in order to survive and prosper).
The only catch is that deductive reasoning, to work in providing deductions that are true, and work well when applied (as opposed to blowing up and killing bystanders) depends on the factuality of the “facts” that are fed to it.
It’s like walking across the Grand Canyon on a tight rope. All that you have to do is walk across the canyon, and don’t make any mistakes.
Going back to the video’s content as an example. The narrators are demonstrating some pretty good deductive reasoning, but if they get any of those facts wrong then they’ll make mistakes that get themselves blown up. Life is a high stakes game, so any time that you can get your hands on a 100% true fact is a good time to latch onto it because those things are VALUABLE.
Dimwit Buddha Sage
Dimwit, Buddha & Sage. Sounds like the name of a law firm.
In response to your question my answer is: ‘practice makes perfect’. That explains why you are so angry and wrong, you’ve been practicing both!
See? Didn’t I just tell you that if you ask shitty questions that you’ll get shitty answers?

Most couples could retire comfortably just on the money that Gavi spends at the Beauty Parlor. Lucky for Newsom that he can write off all those “appearances are everything” procedures as deductible business expenses. Because he is, after all, a professional actor. Gotta look good for the loyal audience when reading those scripts and posing for the cameras. If he can’t live up to his director’s performance requirements then he’s out of a very well paid job.
@ DBS,

My intuition informs me that you have made a mistake.
