    Happy Birthday RIM. Have a great day.

    I will never forget your thoughts and writings through the years, from back in 2008/9 during the GFC, during the Arab Spring in 2010/11, throughout the Greek “technocracy” betrayal in 2011, the occupy wall street movement, brexit, trump 1.0, Covid, the Ukraine war (and many more besides). It has been a wild ride. Rest easy man, you deserve it.

    Who Bought FreshWhite Babies Through Epstein https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/who-bought-fresh-white-babies-through

    Jessica Rose Ph.D. on the handwritten diary of a young teen, missing her newborn daughter, for which purpose she was bred through Epstein.
    There is much more about her rapes, bloody torture-“games” and her near death from fever:
    I haven’t had my stomach turn this much going through data since combing the VAERS baby reports
    ​ So. The Epstein files.
    There’s a diary written by one of the victims.
    She wrote in a kind of cypher – probably in hopes that one day someone would read her words…
    ..My brain immediately ignored the english text and went straight for the cypher.
    It took me 30 seconds to see how to “decipher it”. So I did…
    ..Do not read the words below if you have a weak stomach. I feel quite nauseated – not gonna lie…
    She didn’t shut down -despite the fact that what she wrote about being put through – would likely shut anyone down…
    ​..”​She was perfect. I can’t bring myself to write what happened. I am beyind broken. I only got 10 minutes to hold and feed her before they took her. She is mine. I want her back!!!” https://jessicar.substack.com/p/i-havent-had-my-stomach-turn-this

    ​ The Name that Appears 12,000 Times in the Epstein Files and No One Wants to Say​ – Jeffrey Epstein and the Rothschilds​
    Les Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret and Epstein’s largest known benefactor, testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee on February 18, 2026.
    ​ Asked about the credentials that led him to entrust Epstein with full power of attorney over his finances, he answered plainly:
    “His personal work for the Rothschild family in France.”
    ​ He added:
    “Specifically, I spoke to Élie de Rothschild. He represented their whole family.”
    ​ Under oath. Before the United States Congress.
    Wexner’s attorney was caught whispering to his client on a hot mic:​ “I’ll fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words.” ​ https://www.globalresearch.ca/name-appears-12000-times-epstein-files-no-one-wants-say/5916890

    ​ Ellen Brown, Regime Change at the Fed: From Big Bank Bailouts to Local Productivity
    ​ Nicoletos called the Warsh nomination a regime-change story, a shift in how policymakers think about growth, inflation, and the Fed’s role in markets. Warsh has spent years at the Hoover Institution arguing that the Fed’s balance sheet is bloated and that Quantitative Easing distorted markets. He has described QE-driven growth as a temporary “sugar high,” and he has called for “regime change” at the Fed. Rather than controlling inflation through QE and higher interest rates, he argues, it should be focused on increasing supply through local productivity.
    ​ Nicoletos observes that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, too, has been arguing that the economy needs to shift away from Wall Street-driven liquidity to Main Street-driven credit. Bessent says the era of the Fed being the primary engine of financial markets should end. Stephen Miran, a Governor at the Federal Reserve, has also been speaking publicly for lower rates, a smaller Fed footprint, and faster growth.
    ​ The new approach, says Nicoletos, represents a fundamental shift in policy. “Instead of relying on the Fed’s balance sheet to inject liquidity from the top down, the idea is to use the banking system to channel credit from the bottom up.”​ https://scheerpost.com/2026/02/24/regime-change-at-the-fed-from-big-bank-bailouts-to-local-productivity/

    ​ Gold & Geopolitics Daily Digest: Critical Alerts
    COMEX metals halt on futures expiry day – CME halted all Globex metals and natural gas at 12:15pm CT, citing “technical issues.” Metals reopened at 1:45pm CT, after which silver was immediately slammed $3 from ~$91 to $88. The halt occurred with only 36 hours to First Notice Day on the March silver contract, with ~115M oz in open interest against only ~87M oz registered.​ https://no1sdailydigest.substack.com/p/daily-digest-2026-02-26

    ​ Much more on that: Gold & Geopolitics: Technical Issues™​ COMEX-edition
    Now, “halted” is such an interesting word. It implies nothing is happening. A pause. A quiet 90 minutes while the engineers figure out which wire came loose.​ Except 31,828 contracts changed hands at exactly 12:45 PM. During the halt. One candle. $90.988. One hundred and fifty-nine million ounces of silver, in fifteen minutes, at a single price, traded on an exchange supposedly down by “technical issues”.​..
    ​..Longs who’d been pressing through $91 had their day orders cancelled and had to re-enter manually. The banks’ limit orders – the big institutional GTC orders sitting below the market to absorb selling pressure – those stayed put. They never get cancelled. Different category.
    ​ So when trading resumed: retail, manually re-entering. Banks, already positioned. The chessboard got flipped and reset with one side’s pieces already back in place.
    ​ Technical issue.​..
    ​..This is not normal. Well, it has never been normal. But what this looks like is a lot of longs who were planning to stand for delivery suddenly decided – sometime during a 90-minute window when the exchange was technically dark but millions of ounces were changing hands – that rolling their contracts forward was actually a very attractive option. Handsomely attractive, one can imagine. People don’t abandon delivery positions in a physically tight market out of the goodness of their hearts.

    ​ Mike Benz Says Epstein Files Only Tip of Iceberg in Putting Deep State on Defense​ – The time is now.
    Benz highlighted the importance of the Epstein files, the release of which authorized by a bipartisan bill Trump signed uncovered several stunning revelations. He also told the DCNF, however, the “collective fixation” with the files “is because there are not other disclosures of considerable consequence.”
    ​ “We should be having five million CIA files. We should be having five million State Department files. We should be having five million USAID files,” Benz emphasized. “The fact that it’s only the Epstein files — and even that at the barrel of a gun by congressional bill — is not as much as we could do.”
    ​ “I think those things— something that shows that … it’s okay to trust these institutions again,” he continued. “I think right now, a lot of people feel they’re being asked to trust without the reforms and accountability that a lot of people expected to be the antecedent.”
    ​ Benz named the CIA, FBI, State Department, Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the now-effectively-dismantled USAID as agencies that should be investigated.​ https://www.vigilantfox.com/p/mike-benz-says-epstein-files-only

    Moon of Alabama, Despite Four Weeks Of Build-Up Trump’s Choices On Iran Are Still The Same
    Four week ago U.S. President Donald Trump threatened the Islamic Republic of Iran with another attack over its nuclear program.
    It was a mistake..
    ​..Israeli intelligence has concluded that even with the imminent arrival of the USS Gerald R Ford later this week, the US has military capacity to sustain just a four to five day intense aerial assault, or a week of lower-intensity strikes, an Israeli intelligence official told the FT.
    ​ Iran, in contrast to the U.S., is able to fight for a long time and especially to block the Strait of Hormuz, with global economic consequences, for several months.
    ​ The build up of U.S. forces over the last month thus has not changed the strategic balance.
    Iran has the means to fight a long war in its near abroad while the U.S. depends on a logistic train that takes months to deliver.
    ​ The White House, when ordering the build-up, was falsely believing that Iran would fold under pressure:
    Trump’s special envoy to the region, Steve Witkoff, told Fox News over the weekend that the president is “curious” why Iran hasn’t “capitulated” to U.S. demands, given the looming threat of a military attack.​ https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/02/despite-four-weeks-of-build-up-trumps-choices-on-iran-are-still-the-same.html

    ​ China supplies Iran with radar, surveillance tech to track US stealth aircraft: Report
    China is seeking to prevent a US–Israeli war on Iran, in part to protect its access to Iranian oil​
    ​ The “YLC-8B is one of the few radars of its type in the world which can continuously detect and track a Western fifth-generation (stealth) aircraft at long range.”​ The YLC-8B was developed by China’s Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology. It uses UHF-band low-frequency surveillance to undermine the effectiveness of radar-absorbent shaping used by advanced US aircraft such as the F-35 warplane and B-2 bomber. The Israeli Air Force (IAF) reportedly has 48 F-35 stealth fighter jets in its fleet.
    ​ Beijing is also encouraging Iran to transition to the Chinese BeiDou satellite navigation system as an alternative to the US-created GPS system to avoid manipulation and prevent US intelligence from using it to track Iranian targets within the country​. https://thecradle.co/articles-id/36125#google_vignette​

    ​ Today; Moon of Alabama, Iran – U.S. Negotiators Block Progress With Unreasonable Demands
    Today the third round of the current negotiations between the U.S. and Iran is taking place in Geneva. After three hours the talks were paused to allow the negotiators to communicate with their governments. They are supposed to continue later today.
    Iran continues to offer reductions in its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei insists on tangible outcomes:
    “Today’s discussions were very serious, and we hope that in the talks taking place tonight, we will see a continuation of the dialogue on the lifting of sanctions and nuclear issues—this time in a more operational manner, with practical proposals and executable initiatives,” Baghaei said.
    Baghaei insisting on those is a sign that the conditions the U.S. delegation has offered were vague and lacking specifics.
    Before today’s round started the Wall Street Journal published a list (archived) of ‘tough’ demands the U.S. is making to Iran. These are:
    dismantling its three main nuclear sites—at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan
    delivering all of its remaining enriched uranium to the U.S.
    accepting permanent restrictions with no sunset clauses
    zero enrichment, with potential allowance of low enrichment for medical purposes
    In exchange for that the U.S. would offer … nothing tangible https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/02/iran-u-s-negotiators-block-progress-with-unreasonable-demands.html

    Later today: US-Iran talks conclude with claims of progress but few details
    Technical discussions to continue in Vienna, but unclear whether differences can be resolved to avoid war.
    ​ Another round of indirect talks between Iranian and United States officials ended with a mediator claiming “significant progress” but still no clear evidence that either side was willing to concede enough on their positions to avoid war.
    ​ After the conclusion of the talks in Geneva on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said further technical talks would be held next week in Vienna and progress had been “good”.​ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/26/us-iran-talks-conclude-claims-progress-few-details

    Trump Advisers Want Israel To ‘Attack Iran First’ For Better Optics: Politico
    Senior US officials want Israel to strike Iran before Washington launches a renewed assault in order to build domestic backing for war.
    ​ Advisers to President Donald Trump are “privately arguing that an Israeli attack would trigger Iran to retaliate, helping muster support from American voters for a U.S. strike,” the outlet writes, citing two people familiar with the discussions.
    ​ “The calculus is a political one – that more Americans would stomach a war with Iran if the United States or an ally were attacked first,” Politico continues.
    ​ The subtext here is that American troops would likely come under retaliation in whatever form such a serious escalation takes. Currently the US is drawing down troops from bases immediately in harm’s way, including reportedly in Qatar and Bahrain.
    ​ “There’s thinking in and around the administration that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” one person familiar with the discussions said.
    ​ The mood in Washington is said to be that nuclear negotiations with Iran appear increasingly unlikely to succeed – despite some ‘positive’ headlines out of Geneva – and that “the primary question is becoming when and how the US attacks.”​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-advisers-want-israel-attack-iran-first-better-optics-politico

    ​ Gilbert Doctorow, Straws in the wind
    This morning the Russian online news ticker dzen.ru featured two bits of information which the Community deserves to know…
    ..During his time in Geneva today for indirect negotiations with an Iranian delegation , Steve Witkoff will also meet with Rustem Umerov…
    ..I believe that this Witkoff-Umerov meeting suggests a deal on both the terms of the peace treaty and on the replacement of Zelensky is close to finalization…​ We may assume that within a Ukrainian negotiating team that is split over territorial concessions. Umerov is on the side of Kirill Budanov favoring immediate withdrawal from the Donbas in keeping with Russia’s precondition for a peace.​.. As for the Russians, Medinsky has maintained contact with Umerov at each opportunity, usually private tete-a-tete meetings…
    ..The second news item on dzen.ru points readers to an article in Politico discussing how Viktor Orban’s refusal to approve both the 20th sanctions package and the 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine has the leadership of the European Union in a tizzy, scrambling for ways to satisfy his demand that the Druzhba pipeline be reopened.

    A nice way to say “comply-or-die”. Don’t even consider pre-crime: China Building a Different AI Future than the West
    A key issue in the AI era is not who builds the most powerful model. It is what different societies want intelligence to do. And on that metric, China is not merely competing in a Western-defined race. It is redefining the destination.
    ​ In Silicon Valley, AI is framed as frontier exploration. What are the implications of general intelligence that rivals or exceeds human cognition? Should it be regulated? The US government largely maintains a hands-off posture, funding research while allowing private firms to lead.
    ​ In Beijing, the framing is different. The question is not: How intelligent can machines become? It is: How can intelligence be integrated into society and embedded in national infrastructure? …
    ​..The deeper consequence of China’s AI strategy is the emergence of what might be called the “predictive state.”
    ​ Traditional governance is reactive. It legislates rules and responds after violations occur. The Predictive State aims to detect deviations before they crystallize into instability. It intervenes not only in the fact of transgression but also in the probability of one.
    ​ This requires a reengineered nervous system. Digital identity platforms, integrated payments, and sensor networks do more than monitor society. They render it computationally legible. Transactions, movements, and interactions become structured inputs for predictive models.
    ​ Once legibility is achieved, preemption becomes possible. Traffic congestion is mitigated before gridlock forms. Financial risk is flagged before contagion spreads. Public health interventions activate before outbreaks accelerate. The state shifts from referee to systems architect.
    ​ For citizens, the benefits are tangible: reduced friction, faster services, perceived stability. The bargain is not simply privacy for convenience. It is visibility for inclusion. Disconnection from the system limits participation in economic and social life. Participation becomes not just rational but necessary.​ https://www.asia-pacificresearch.com/china-building-different-ai-future/5633241

The Pentagon’s position, in the words of its chief spokesman Sean Parnell, is straightforward: “Our nation requires that our partners be willing to help our warfighters win in any fight.” xAI, by contrast, has agreed to the military’s “all lawful use” standard without conditions.​ https://discernreport.com/grok-gets-the-clearance-pentagon-signs-xai-into-classified-systems-as-anthropic-faces-the-ultimatum-of-its-existence/

    Silver (and other markets) outright suspended. This is inside baseball, but they dropped 30,000 contracts in the short time they were closed? (40min?) Well the sure didn’t call those owners on the phone! Settle by hand. That means the market is seizing at $87, and the Asia/Bullion sites are $100. 13% arb? So we’re not going under $70 again unless everything collapses. And we can probably barely clear metal at $100. But since the market can do this and people keep calling up and playing, then they won’t “Default”. Won’t “Close”. They’ll just keep making s—t up. Default ≠ Default, like when Greece didn’t default but they just weren’t paying. Ah! Right. The “Not defaulting” where you don’t get your money. Very helpful.

    “Loonie Left: Canada Provides Aid To Cuba Because “Orange Man Bad”

    As I say daily, but it’s not that. This is the cover story – the Lie is different at every level. Yes, face value. But more like “real” level, UK/MI6 (which includes our rogue CIA, viz: most of it) has a Dr. No base in Cuba. UK needs that not to fall, so they don’t mind if every man in Canada has to die to pay for this base/fort to remain to attack and reclaim the U.S. The play is that, PLUS split everyone on the Right to attack and sink Trump for stopping them. This is going perfectly, the Right breaks their arm patting themselves on the back to sink the U.S. over every thing they’ve posted in the news on this.

    This is exactly the same as liquidating ALL of Canada – very visibly, daily, via carpet bombing blitz – to sacrifice every Canadian to save the London home office. Against that: Trump. Ugh! Okay well, Alberta & co, if it’s “Complete annihilation of all Canadian values” or “becoming a U.S. territory for a while til things calm down, well. … Take the least bad. Don’t worry, Canada will nuke Alberta and kill every human in the province to stop it, and will claim the same moral high ground, exactly as they are today, as Moosilini did for years.

    “”You’re Not Alone”: Reporters Comfort Those Triggered And Traumatized By Scenes Of [American] Patriotism

    They are worldwide Trotsky Communists. World revolution now. This expression is spotlighted in England now. Everyone has a homeland and is entitled to one, like, eg Huckabee just argued. All the Anti-Colonialists argue in Nigeria, etc. Every tribe, people, ethnos, is deserving of a nation, EXCEPT THE ENGLISH. Their nation must be DESTROYED although they have no other homeland. And this is essentially the same in U.S. and Canada. All nations are good EXCEPT the United States. …Or whatever “historic”, aka ‘real’ Canada is/was. As I say here every day now.

    Nations that do, have done, the most abhorrent things, Columbia, Somalia, Rwanda, India, are perfectly fine and we should allow Infinity immigration of those people. But only so long as their importation insures the utter genocide of the existing Ethnos and population. …And then talk about America, Trail of Tears n’ stuff as they do it again with more turbo jets strapped on. Why? It’s a religion of HATE. They don’t love the Somalis — they don’t even think about them — they HATE the Americans, the Swedish people, the Englishmen. They don’t bring them up, are happy to have them create enclaves in Malmo which are the hand grenade capital of the world, in Chicago, and import every Abortion clinic there, let them shoot each other daily for a century. That’s “Their Culture”, stupid and violent is “How they are, in their DNA” Newsom said only yesterday. Wow. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that doesn’t sound like love of African-Americans, but HATE. He doesn’t care if Black Americans go up, so long as White Americans come down. …And so worldwide. English go down, French go down, etc. Muslim immigrants go UP? In Paris? Errrr….not really. They’re down too. Oh, my work here is done then. All working proletariat are violent, immiserated, and in ruins. Reporters don’t care who goes up so long as the U.S. is attacked. They also HATE the Olympics like cancer. DOn’t care a WHIT about the medals, who won. What do they put in every headline? “TRUMP Said”. Trump invited, said words, they refused, whatever. TrumpTrumpTrump. IDGAF about the WINNING the medal the story. Only HATE. Hate Orange Man. What Olympics??? That’s THEIR headlines. STOP!

    “House Dem Brought Illegal Alien To State Of The Union, Then Protected Him From Law Enforcement

    Anyone BUT the people of that nation. Whether French, English, American…

    Abooot the Internets: “I just found out about parts of another bill before Canada’s Parliament, C-15, which would instantly destroy the rule of law in Canada: namely, the amendments to the Red Tape Reduction Act, which allow the cabinet to exempt any individual or organization from nearly any law, in secret. All in all, this is looking like a very bad time for Canada…” Apparently there are three other bills doing worse but more openly, and all look able to pass.

    “Haiphong: USS Ford” Does it not occur to anyone that this is all made up? Either not happening (seems difficult) or done on purpose? Last time this was set up, a supporting tanker ran aground in open seas. And other times as well.

    If it’s BAD and we can HATE the United States, that fact is, of course, perfectly true. If it’s normal or helps the U.S., the fact is False. Logic is perfectly simple as it is utterly retarded and deranged. Don’t just take the fact, people.

    Same with F35. You think they don’t SALT how bad it is, incapable of moving, to suck China/Russia into a war because we’re so weak? We’re so weak like WWII, Pearl Harbor, when suddenly, Lo! Then a miracle happened and we DID have lots of things on the shelf. We HAD cracked the code and had a infinity back door to all Japanese intel.

    No? Okay, is today a day we have Space Planes and have had them for 30 years? We say we do regularly. Then we don’t. We have lasers since 1970, there’s a CHILD on YouTube who builds them that will burn through concrete blocks. Off the shelf, Amazon components. But the U.S. Military in 60 years doesn’t have one. …But they also do. Because they SAY they do, we see them used from time to time. Jewish Space Lasers over orbit in Tehran? Why the actually WOULDN’T we? …But you see, that doesn’t allow us to HATE. HateHateHate the U.S., etc.

    So IF we get in a war, you think they have Sunburn missiles, sure! I’m not saying they don’t. BUT WE HAVE SOMETHING TOO. Like the claims of the sound weapons in Caracas. We’ve had that also for 30 years, but it wasn’t authorized for mainstream til now. A GENERATION we hid that on the shelf.

    STOP LOVING HATE. It’s destroying your thinking. We have stuff; they have stuff. “The Enemy gets to vote too.” We get to plan and act: THEY get to plan and act too. Okay, you’ve internalized, IF we want(ed) to conquer Russia, Russia gets to vote and act too. Good. Now expand: IF Russia, Iran, sinks our ships, WE ALSO GET TO STOP THEM. And we’re not telling you everything we’re up to. Duh. Everyone has secret hardware they’re not saying, and a LOT of it. We HAVE space planes, and weapons in orbit. We HAVE defense lasers. Who knows if it will work, just saying if you take the consensus, only what is not admitted (again the above ‘secret’ weapons are all admitted) but like Wikipedia, Texas Honkytonk Miller Light known and admitted. Like it’s only real and we calculated if the very DUMBEST, no-information citizens believe it. No. OBVIOUSLY.

    So stop generating your war scenarios that “We have nothing” and “They have everything.” That’s exactly how you suck the other guy into a war.

    Try again? We flew Iran with the B2 from MISSOURI, were unseen and bombed whatever we liked. Now the LOCAL fact was, we chose to hit nothing, with nothing – a different and OTHER level of lie. But the point was the DEMONSTRATION. That we have things Iran wasn’t aware of and has to think about. And the ground MANPADs aren’t going to hit that.

    Iran did the same to us: apparently scrambling all electronics right at the border. They couldn’t tell if they were radar-locked or not, but probably. That’s our job, then that’s their job. Fair.

    I keep hearing from Asian Guys, EVVVVERYONE has everything and we ALONE of all people in the world, have literally nothing. Yup! Then everyone nods their heads. The U.S. Military spent what, a Quadrillion dollars? Fitts says? And we inventing LITERALLY NOTHING that we’re keeping secret. Honest!

    WHAT. Is coming out of your mouths? Can Iran beat us, hold us off? Probably, but that’s not the point of this discussion. We also KNOW Iran can hold us off, and there’s no gain there to begin with. The error is that HATE. The U.S. must always be stupid and lose, can never hit any target, ever like Stormtroopers because: Hate. The enemy, whoever that is this minute, must always be perfect goodness and light, like China, and always wins with no casualties at all, because: Hate. Stop.

    F35 trainers – they know all our everything, to infinity knowledge. STOP! And you think we didn’t SALT all that with fake info? I’m not saying that definitely happened, just that OF COURSE we do that to them all the time. Just as they do it to us all the time. But because HATE, we are sure whatever we do is stupid and whatever they do is awesome. Is it? That’s all I’m asking.

    Okay, so this happened, like the USS Ford, then we use it and tell Israel we can’t do this today. Awwwww. Man, all you guys will be so sad! You WANT the war. When Trump has no war, you’ll call the world’s biggest victory lap, saying he lost. Did he? Doesn’t A TANKER RUNNING AGROUND IN OPEN SEAS seem kinda suspicious to you? Never happened before. Only that one day. Huh. Same thing here.

    Wes: “I noticed that none of the above videos even mentions the logical fact that maybe Trump is trying to prove to the Israeli warmongers, that the US no longer has the military power to [attack] Iran” Thank you.

    “Americans training Chinese pilots is a perverse way to prevent a future war between the US and China” Exactly, thank you. I get tired being out here all alone.

    Antikytheria: an Aussie called “Clickspring” does this on YouTube with the period tools, which he also makes by hand. This demonstrates that at a minimum, there was a large and stable industry somewhere (he named the island) to gather, develop, and transmit this knowledge over time. That means how many? Anti-K’s must have been made per year at your base minimum? And none are found? That’s the bottom number. So that Greek workshop was the only on the planet? That seems unlikely. So what’s the top number?

    Okay, let’s expand that. There was a modern, industrial-sized grain mill in Barbegal, France, 300AD. Like mill for 30,000 people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbegal_aqueduct_and_mills Okay, so ONE mill. And so you have how many WAGONS, roads to move that in and out? We don’t have railroads. And this was the ONLY one in all Europe? Uh, no. And this wasn’t the height of Rome, but built during “the collapse”? Yeah, well, you can rethink everything you know then. There were hundreds of them, then, there was essentially modern traffic all over Europe and the Mediterranean like bus routes (proven elsewhere). From all 300BC or earlier. And then it DIDN’T collapse like we pretend. Just made up. Arch. sites in England show lavish Villas finer than anything today 100AD, 200, 300, 400, 500AD…??? Like it doesn’t seem to stop. (This looks like another cold climate collapse) So “Rome” rose…from what? They were already modern and making antiKytheria watches daily. Then never fell at all were doing same-size industrial projects and traffic centuries after Pop Culture claims, but rotated out into something else. So…we know all that is a lie. A breathtaking, wicked, transparent, idiotic lie. But everything about the Middle Ages was true? How about the 1950s? Yeah, no.

    They will make their ‘enemies’ bleed from their ears and their assholes.

    And when Trump bloviated during the campaign about the weaponized DOJ and how they will be held accountable, gas from his ass.

    Trump hasn’t hardly laid a glove on Jack Smith or the legions of DOJ flunkies or the hundreds of scumbag FBI agents who actively acted against him and those around him.

    Today: What’s going on in Iran? Essentially the people who have NOT be wrong, 99% of the time (who are very few) feel that the deal was already done, inked ages ago. And it’s going to be similar, larger, more complicated version of Venezuela. Where, AGAIN, there was NO REGIME CHANGE. The same people are in charge and there are NO AMERICANS in the country. Everyone “just says” we invaded, had a war, did regime change, and all that oil is ours. Not a word of that is true. For the love of Christmas, just LOOK.

    The problems are several: FIRST, yes, details about pretending Iran’s leadership changed. “Reformed”, whatever. That’s window dressing but important. Second is how to TELL the technocrats, etc inside Iran this happened, without telling them the whole world is made up of stupid, secret, backroom deals and everything they believed about nations, patriotism, is a lie. So they need sum dum cover story.

    Third, they are going to blow up all their own internal traitors and spies, IRGC, QUDS, etc. They will arrange for US to have done it, or else do it themselves and claim it was us. IDGAF. Good. Get MI6 and these dopes out wherever they are found.

    They have to sell this to Israel, like last time. Israel LOVED it, they like Trump better than anyone in Israeli government. That’s WITH them getting blown to pieces by Iran, they STILL like Trump. Go fig. Trump is the only one looking for peace at all, anywhere. The only one having peace talks, that’s why he’s evil and bad m-kay? So Bannon says. So this is touchy but seems possible. All they have to do is make s—t up and LOOK like they hit something. The last bombing was totally fake and they bought it so why not?

    OBVIOUSLY actual MI6/Derp State isn’t fooled, which is why they immediately forget there was ever any war, and told/had their media “Just Act” like the 12 Day War never happened. Which you all also do every day. Same with Venezuela. MI6 wanted us pinned down and Trump to lose with the Ground Invasion Bannon demanded there. So we didn’t. You dope. SO THEY JUST REPORT WE DID ANYWAY. Same as J6, the largest single mass-death event in world history!!! …And here’s the amazing part: everyone just act like a GIGANTIC WAR that never, ever happened. .. Just DID happen. Talk to people, their brains are formed, act, conclude as if this happened. Geez, can we report “Aliens Land” or “Fluffy Scottie Dogs took over Lithuania” would they believe us too? Probably. If you had an Asian Guy say it. (Technically, non-Asian, Non-Guy)

    Last, we have the AFTER party. Russia, China, us, what do you WANT Iran to look like and do when all this is over? Obviously whatever screws MI6 and the Derp State mostest, but like, how much oil, how many reactors, who protects the transit routes, on what security, whatever. And this is a big, complex negotiation.

    So that’s it. That’s my take on it, and again, NOTHING HAPPENED. Over and over, they report Millions, BILLIONS!!!! of men are invading, TRILLIONS of deaths!!!! Not a single man visited Iran. Not a single shot was fired this whole time. Iran lit up and outed the whole color revolution crews and settled down. Half the hardware was blown up, there are less missiles and bullets than ever.

    Everyone is mad. They hate it when Trump doesn’t have the war, so just report than he did. They hate winning and report that he’s losing. They hate that Iran clearing out internally will cause peace and report war. Why? Why do you hate winning and will stab anyone you see to take that Black Pill?

    “the American people OVERWHELMINGLY approve of President Trump’s State of the Union Speech.”

    Same here. I dunno and wouldn’t make too much of it, but the NORMAL PEOPLE, the ones not driven insane by HATE, are like, “Hey that sounds pretty good and normal to me”?

    ““[Trump] has been playing y’all like a fiddle for 11 years now, and you still can’t beat him. DAMN!

    Yes, because HATE. If it’s HATE, they will never let it go, and sit, stand, amputate a thousand children, repatriate ten-thousand rapists, whatever they have to do to protect HATE. Okay then. This is like only his third Pass-play, but you can’t seem to figure it out, we’ll keep using it. JUST PRETEND. Like you used to. PRETEND you don’t hate every American and want us all dead. Just LIE!!! Here, I’m telling you to your face, and still can’t do it. Even knowing it’s smarter and will win. Can’t let go the HATE. Good.

    Trump Report Card (John Stossel)

    It’s extremely hard to calculate. There are a few more jobs, inflation dead stop. Housing still too high, then drug prices come down, some other industry is unfrozen. Probably if there weren’t non-stop lies in reporting, this would all be pleasant, modest, good. But that IS his fault. It’s his job to get that message out and not foreign policy stuff that’s pissing everybody off(actual MAGA Americans, the left is unreachable). Guess? He wants/needs this to happen and be settled early. MI6 needs to prevent him from doing this to bugger his midterms. K. But what he’ll do is one day very suddenly talk only about Domestic Wins before the Left can react and respond. Those things ARE happening. I mean, no thanks to every Republican in Congress, but some. And he CAN successfully campaign on them. He will also take visible actions he’s been delaying – not needing the additional heat right now.

    Meh. I don’t like it but I understand it. It’s boring, normal stuff. Wish it were faster, but we’ve come far and it’s easy to see how many thousand more enemies he has (Fox, Bannon, TPUSA, Johnson, MTG, etc) than we thought. Like how Farage was outed as a Pence-like figure, existing only to corral the English people into fatal Blairism (as they’re calling it) on the Right-hand side. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dw9B3VnH1XA All the BASE, root assumptions remained intensely atheistic, anti-English, erase of nation state, worldwide Elite globalist (socialism) but slower. Exactly the same as our GOP here. For example, He is against deporting a single person. And Farage is the “far right”. Yeah, um, “Those words don’t mean what you think they mean”. And he tried to fabricate evidence to get HIS OWN PARTY arrested and jailed for felonies. (Lowe) All made up. If that’s HIS OWN CABINET, imagine his view on law and rights for average citizens. Yeah: same here. Same RINOs almost without exception. That’s why he’s a good example.

    So as each enemy is outed, thousand by thousand, we suddenly understand why he moved so slow. If they have a Billion dollars to activate rioters to kill THEMSELVES in Minnesota, in January – and this is the LOW level activity, you can only image what happens if he arrests everyone. “But DADDY! I WANT A PONY!!!”

    Must be nice when you don’t have to do any work except criticize. Must be nice.

    “• Biden FBI Investigated Susie Wiles and Kash Patel Phone Records (CTH)

    NYT says this was totally legit, up and up, a witch hunt. The FBI should always be wiretapping Presidents and political citizens with no viable, visible cases against them. NYT also reports this was so normal and up and up, sooper-clean, THEY HID ALL THE RECORDS. Boy if that doesn’t say “I know what I’m doing is legal and right” I don’t know what does!

    I’m not picking a side. I’ve given up on that. All I have to do is use YOUR argument, YOUR facts, to point out how what YOU think and say is a lie. You hid it. YOU think what you did was wrong. I’m not saying one way or the other, just you. If you knew this was wrong, why did you do it? Why is firing someone who themselves believes they committed crimes a bad thing?

Well, expand your view: how do we have 10M Indians air-drop in Ontario who all somehow have the same amazing, secret, illegal, skill set? Yes, these are all openly trained, in classrooms, how to do this, over seas. MI6 trains them for a few months, injects them into a well-honed (local, mafia, insurgency) system they’ve been developing for 200 years. None of it is natural, nothing is organic.

Okay then why is it only Britain and France (allegedly, and actually) providing any nuke to Kiev and not HIMARs and F22s? Ohhhh. So that answers itself, doesn’t it, Alex. Now what does that mean?

    This will sound crazy, but is it any crazier than knowing England openly and with every tool at their disposal – possibly including assassinations – tried to topple U.S. elections? 2, 3 times? Promethean Action has the papers and quotes from them; every member of that team, Steele, etc, were all MI6, and Starmer personally ordered everyone in UK Government to go rig the U.S. election, they all got on planes, and did.

    Maybe – bear with me here – they are our ENEMY? Gasp! Dun dun dun!

    Okay, so NEXT: that’s fun and entertaining, ever-so-witty to SAY sir. So? So what makes you think Europe won’t NUKE AND DIRTY BOMB US TOO? WE are their enemy, remember? We AND Russia. There are prophesies on this (I’d have to search them) but no one could understand them when they came out in the ‘80s. And ones on King Charles. There was no THINKABLE condition where France, England, would ally with China to nuke us as exists now.

    WHY would they not? Can you think of a single reason, cause I can’t. The only thing keeping England from nuking us – which they already are with color revolutions in Minnesota, that is, on the porous, secessionary border with Crown Canada, is that they have a vague, distant hope they can get help from the U.S. again and knock out Trump. Or they would have nuked us years ago. …And you all wonder “Why doesn’t be move faster? Why doesn’t he “just tell” Europe and everyone the truth and leave? Well I dunno what city you live in but personally I like mine better without Cesium 136. And you have to put up with some minor frustrations over 30 year old cases, boo-hoo. You want 500,000 ppl dead in 30 minutes? These guys aren’t fooling around, you already know that. They already murdered several million Americans in the Drug War alone. No one cares, they aren’t really people real humans, because they are “Americans” and many are “White” so their deaths are not deaths but “a good start.”

    RE-position your mind: EUROPE will bomb US, the United States. And will commence shortly, we will see them build the weapons now. Using assets they steal from us like Twitter, etc.

    “• US Demands Iran Dismantle Its 3 Main Nuclear Sites In Hours-Long Talks (ZH)

    The talks just waste time. They are meant to be plausible. We can point at them: “Can’t bomb yet, we’re talking!!” Etc. Blah blah. In reality they’re outflanking the warmongers. Iran knows this, WE know this, even the NeoCons know this, but they can’t DO anything about it because they need it to appear plausible to the American people, who already think they’re lunatics. Go ahead and TELL us to bomb, Lindsay: You’ll just undermine your whole movement, with Tucker running interviews broadsiding you. This whole line depends on on being the good guy.

    “• Epstein Rushed Evidence Into Secret Storage Unit Before Raid (ZH)

    Release 3M files but still having scandals that STILL!!! keep it in the news. It’s going perfectly. So long as “Trump’s fault” “Orange Man Bad” people will continue to care. Kash is placed to misbehave so more scandal can come out. Love it. Get the files and Kash too. All bait. Meanwhile, on the hill, Trump has merely set it in motion and can mostly ignore it. He knows he’s not in the files or you all would be reading me those pages right now.

    Jeffy-Wolfe discussed this in 2017 that they had bupkis on Trump, and how to make it seem they had something. That’s very, VERY late. If you have something, quote it.

    ““The major thing is that we’re looking for truth, for the survivors, and justice and accountability, and that’s something that cuts across party lines,” Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin told The Hill. “At least on the Democratic side, we have said that anybody who was involved in criminal activity should pay the price for it.” Comer said”

    Hahahahahaha! Hehehhehehehehe! Leg-slappin’, head scratchin’. Oh, you’re SERIOUS? Man that’s even funnier! Again, Newt brought this up in public in 1999. 27 years ago. EVERYONE had all the files EVERY DAY since then. ALL agencies, since it’s IMPOSSIBLE FBI, DoJ, CIA, USSS, Wall Street…Unilever (above) didn’t all have them. Florida State Police, Sheriffs, AZ State Police, Local police, Border Patrol, DEA, FAA….

    Nobody knewd Nuffin!!

    ““US lawmakers say Justice Department ‘appears to have’ withheld Epstein files related to Trump”

    Keeping it in the news! Never stop! You guys are awesome! So…Trump did this…everyone in government KNEW he did this, (above) and NOBODY EVER SAID Before. Riiiiiiiight. They did everything BUT this to stop his election, BOTH because they had this all along AND because “He’s one of them” which is why they need to STOP him from being elected and assassinate him monthly. Riiiiiight. Go on.

    “some “unknown Claude user” simply made up “Spanish-language prompts for the chatbot to act as an elite hacker, finding vulnerabilities in government networks, writing computer scripts to exploit them and determining ways to automate data theft.”

    50 years of this. Yet they still put everything on computer, attached to the Internet. Yeah, that’s a feature, not a bug. Microsoft having EVERY flaw, such that even f-ing NOTEPAD doesn’t work and can full-access hack, is a FEATURE. They want it or else they would be mad about it. Even a little. Have two systems, and have a guy with sneakers move a USB drive between them when you want to move data. Done in one. That’s if you use computers at all, because: why? They’ve been getting worse for 50 years. They already certainly cost more than an office full of typewriters with smart employees. Also every piece of data inside those computers is wrong. If you patch it, it will re-propigate the errors. They then make critical decisions based on entirely false data so it matters not if AI does it or a human.

    “Legalizing 500,000 aliens in one fell swoop is more then Spain can handle.

    The only thing they care about is making sure the Spanish have no homeland to call their own. Everything else is a means to this end.

    “Iran WILL NOT SURRENDER:” MacGregor has a riveting observation since 500BC. Thanks Doug. You’re a living miracle. Where do you come up with it? Naturally, this means America is landing with 2 million men and will occupy the place, because there are zero such men in theater, or indeed anywhere on earth.

    Such are psychotic fever dreams!

    Since a cow is not going to jump over the moon, and Merlin will not rise tomorrow to save England, anyone thought about having a discussion about what might ACTUALLY happen there? Like, using REASON?

    ““If the US strikes Tehran, then IRGC Will test its first nuclear capabilities during war.”

    But! But! Iran has no nukes and no nuclear program! So they’re going to use a nuke they don’t have, because we shouldn’t attack them, because they don’t have it! Look – I given up trying to know. I’m just pointing out what YOU say now. Iran has/Not-have nukes and Will/Won’t use them. Logic. Reality.

    “Israel sent boxes to Gaza containing Palestinians ‘skulls, women’s bodies’

    Yes, those “boxes” are called “Coffins” and shipping them to their resting place happens every day in every town on the planet? Nice.

    “the replacement of Zelensky is close to finalization…” Again, Doctorow, logical, rational conclusion we expect will be proven correct like many others. Hard to tell when every fact is questionable and everything is hidden.

    An interesting tidbit from Whitney Webb

    “Carbyne, the Israeli intelligence linked (and probable front) company that Epstein helped fund and guide along with Ehud Barak and Peter Thiel, now runs and controls the 911 emergency systems throughout numerous states and counties in the US.

    [How odd]

    Their initial software descriptions revealed that they harvest tons of data from phones that call into those 911 call systems and store that information, previously touting they would use it for pre-crime-style functionality.

    You may be outraged about the Epstein files and the Epstein cover-up, but you should also be investigating how nothing practical is being done to dismantle what Epstein helped build.

    This foreign company should be nowhere near essential US services, but it continues to rack up local contracts.

    I wrote about it first in 2019 but recent releases have revealed more of the comms and intent between Barak, Thiel and Epstein.

    That’s some ‘surprise party’ you got there…

    In the movie “My Man Godfrey”, Cornelia wants to frame Godfrey, so she claims her pearls have been stolen and her father calls the police. As they search his room without finding them, she says “Why don’t you look under the mattress?” All eyes turn to her and she nervously stammers, “I heard that’s where criminals hide things”. When the pearls aren’t there, she’s shocked.
    So when democrats scream “Hey! That accusation against Trump isn’t in the files!” I think of Cornelia and her pearls.

    Israeli intelligence has concluded that even with the imminent arrival of the USS Gerald R Ford later this week, the US has military capacity to sustain just a four to five day intense aerial assault, or a week of lower-intensity strikes, an Israeli intelligence official told the FT.

    “The US is intensifying the drumbeat of war against Iran, with zero explanation of the non-existent legal authority to use force and zero evidence of an ‘imminent threat’ other than hypothetical scenarios based on possible future intentions,” Mohamed ElBaradei

    So Washington is going from proclaiming Iran’s nuclear sites were obliterated to now saying there’s evidence of the Iranians trying to clandestinely build a nuclear warhead. Of course, no evidence or so much as a reference to some kind of intelligence report has been presented to the world.

    You don’t suppose, it was actually an Israeli flag, errr T-shirt, that got flushed down the toilet on the G. Ford?

    Since you jumped from the Olympics to the carrier….
    I would not be surprised if patriot sailors have done that.
    As for the Israel, they are probably sending the experts to unclog the pipes. They need that carrier there given the window and the last chance is closing down to have Americans do the job for them.

    On: Arms dealer Christopher Harborne paid BorisJohnson a million UK pounds to convince Zelensky not to sign the Istanbul peace deal in March 2022. (at top post.)

    It was always difficult to understand why Bojo did this — reasons invoked were various. Endless inherent GB hate of Russia, Bojo being influenced by the US, stupid hopes and tropes of winning against Russia, or just part of Int’l geopolitics in some grand scheme…

    Now, good to see some ‘clarity’ exposed.

    Bojo also had a first reaction to COVID (“let it rip”) before going all VAX supporter, just like Trump who switched from an attitude (don’t remember the exact words) – just a Flu, or Nu Flu, China Flu – to being the owner of miracle cures, vaxxx, “warp speed” and all that.

    These ‘leaders’ (elected! by what means is another topic) are just stooges put in place as figureheads who obey other masters. Mostly, Bit Corps, but not only.

    Happy Birthday Ilargi 🙂
