Pablo Picasso The Bull state VII 1945 • Trump Pursues Diplomatic Off-Ramp As Omani Delegation Arrives In Tehran (ZH) • Russia Guaranteed To Win Ukrain
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle July 26 2026]The penalty for evil stupidity is the same as it has always been. Not pretty and even less fun to experience.
Therefore practically everyone opts for one or more of several popular means of avoidance, including lies, pretense, secrecy, threats, beatings, bribery, dumb luck and forgiveness to name but a few. Once you have done something REALLY stupid every one of those additional stupid mistakes look better as core strategies than doing the smart thing in the first place, or doing the smart thing NOW in those cases in which it is too late to make time run backwards.
The guy who said that there ain’t no cure for stupid wasn’t actually stupid. He was just chicken.
@MichaelReid
DBS,
This video contains the ideas you said you wanted to discuss yesterday
Oh, MAN! Am I loving that video!! Thank you thank you. It’s making my day, and I will definitely be getting back here with a few comments about it a little later in the day. I’ve always admired the hell out of Garland Nixon, but that Kavanaugh guy is a new dude to me and his analysis and attitude is just SHREDDING it. He is on to more than he thinks. The Zionists are deeply connected to BUT NOT IDENTICAL WITH the really bad guys who run the big organized Zionist movement as if it were just another small a targeted Task Force. I think this Kavanaugh guy may just be kicking the door open to a MUCH broader and deeper conversation about WHO ACTUALLY IS running things on this planet of ours/
The sad part of that conversation between Garland Nixon and Jim Kavanagh is that they are both OBLIVIOUS of the irony that if elections CAN be cheated then they all HAVE been cheated and the victory of the cheaters is already a done thing. The government is run by the cheaters, so it doesn’t matter a tinker’s damn whether we do or do not get to elect them or not. They ALREADY run everything. It doesn’t MATTER whether the election was fair or not.
It’s also rather sad that fine men like Garland Nixon and Jim Kavanagh have been tricked into wasting their time trying to repair the fairness of elections, when bad elections is simply NOT the problem. The problem is that there are governments who were elected to office, and their very existence guarantees that at least half of the population will be oppressed (or worse) at all times. Duh!!
‘Sitrep’, off the cuff from from what I am reading.
– US suspends strikes on Iran without giving reason.
– Iran suspends strikes in Gulf in response
– Yemen under increased attack, by Saudi and Saudi backed forces, keeps straight closed.
– Hormuz kept closed, but Iran in negotiation with Oman.
– Pivot point would be if Iran allows Oman to channel international traffic, so ending blockade, before US ends hostilities and “Israel” withdraws from recent advances.
– Syria talking of accords with “Israel”
– Lebanon as previously with increased “Israeli” presence.
– West bank and occupied palestine, ‘settlers’ increasing pressure on locals, occupation ministry talking of emptying ‘towns that are terrorist bases there’ .
– Gaza, ‘”Israel” allows in ‘Peace Board’ forces’ but continues with increasing strikes in unoccupied zone, moves ‘yellow line’ occasionally in its own favour.
– In Gaza, AlJazeera just fired its twenty six employees there, contested as political and unethical.

—————–Government is the notion that it is good if a bunch of people gang up and FORCE another group of people to do things their way instead of the other persons way. In doing so, of course, such an action is over-riding that other person’s God Given and God like free will. That’s pretty arrogantly (and stupidly!) pretentious if you ask me, but it is nevertheless what they have taken as their right, of their own free will. They are, therefore, RESPONSIBLE for their stupid believe that the can subjugate another person’s free will and get away with it. In that sense, government is very much the same as Satanism. In fact the two are virtually interchangeable just by swapping around a few silly words. No wonder we see them in each other’s company so often. They’re like two copies of the same team (first string and second string? A-squad and B-squad? I dunno)
In one nature’s most beautiful symmetries it is true that ceasing the vice of telling other people what to do and bossing them around in all sorts of ways is the absolute EASIEST thing to do in the whole world. Just stop wasting your time and effort doing it. Just stop. No action, energy or risk necessary or required by law. Just stop forcing people to do what you tell them to if they don’t want to do it too.
The most immediate consequence of such a decision (the decision to let go and just stop trying to forcibly control people) is a huge sense of relief from the strain, and the second most common response is a sense of very broad and peaceful freedom to do what is actually best for one’s loved ones, and actually do it.
Would you like to solve the ills of the world, and save your own ass into the bargain? Here’s how. Stop wasting your time trying to control other people and dedicate the rest of your life doing the very best you can for the people you love and those lucky enough to cross your path along the way.
Measurable beneficial result are almost instantaneously immediate (fewer worries and stress, more free time and freed up resources).
Bon voyage to those of you smart enough to just go do that. To those of you NOT smart enough to bail out, welcome aboard my fellow crazies.

Trump 2028. They’ll probably believe him. I expect it as tomorrow’s NYT headlines.
“The EU just keeps LOOTING American companies”
They don’t give a total-total, but looks easily in the $100B+ range. Yes, this is why you have sovereignty and jurisdiction. And then cut off from the bad faith actors and eventually go to war. This is just Britain boarding our ships and conscripting our men like 1812. Yeah, no. If I let you do that, there is no United States. …Which is precisely the plan, with the invaders, they are not National Socialists (tho some are) the Fabians are INTERNATIONAL Socialists. They believe only in their power, oligarchic one-world government, with no nation states counteracting them at all. Which is even worse, if possible.
They are a little short this month on the Ukrainian genocide? “We Make S—t Up!” We make up some dumb reason you need to give us another bil. $18 Bil. Gosh golly, whatever billion suits us, which is ALL of it. Yes, this is colonialism. European colonialism, worldwide.
Can’t live this way because you can’t plan anything. There are no rules. It’s just pirates all the way down. Re-framed, this is “Private Property”. Erase private property and life itself does not exist. However, Slavery does, stealing the hours of your life.
“negotiations were initiated once US gasoline prices reached $4.20 and became materially more urgent as prices neared $4.50. Oil may be a global commodity, but political tolerance for high energy prices remains overwhelmingly domestic.”
I talk to Leftists all the time, and yes this is true, but really no one in America cares. They are more butt hurt and likely to vote about tweets, or about how Trump is deporting poor harmless pedophiles and persecuting innocent Hunter Biden. (Who needed a pardon). So the sense of the political urgency is very slippery.
“Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says the group has launched two “sensitive operations” targeting Saudi Arabia”Which Houthis? Which Yemen? Some guy paid off by global arms dealers who has 6 mortars and a camel? See the problem? I’m totally willing to say this is the rebel government, which I consider to be the legitimate government right now, but I’m making the point here. So Comey and McCabe were the same as Trump? They were in his government, they must be official and do only as ordered, right? Are not the Houthis the same?
More interesting question: Why Now? I would have popped them off for London on Day one. Is it to drag it out exactly as it’s doing? Yemen just lets S.A. bank all that 150 days of revenue and buy weapons. Yes?
“• Russia Guaranteed To Win Ukraine Conflict – John Mearsheimer (RT)
We knew that in 2014, decade before the war started. So that wasn’t anybody’s plan or point. The point was to murder Slavs. EUROPE’S point was to MURDER EUROPEANS. By the millions. Good job, Brownie!
““I think events in Iran and just the course of the war between Ukraine and Russia is creating a situation where Ukraine’s future looks highly bleak,”
If we don’t look out, something bad might happen.
“• The Real Reason Why The Media Hates Elon Musk (ZH)
Musk was their god such a short time ago. Such is the Jacobean mob.
“Musk has been directly and indirectly accused of promoting racism, fascism, sexism, and even genocide.”
Meanwhile this is the official policy of Canada and Europe. But that’s the GOOD fascism, sexism, and genocide, where women are assaulted and raped in the streets and the police arrest anyone who interferes. You simply MUST let armed robbers into your house and don’t interfere in Ontario! Bob Ford says. He’s my coke dealer and supporting the Fentanyl lab workforce here.
Hilarious that the Economist is being criticized for failing all free speech, then censors their own pages for Copyright.“accusing its director of using the museum as a “political instrument” to accomplish her own ideological goals”
They’re all ideological goals. However, their issue is that they pretend it’s objective and not a state religion. Break that, and the whole thing deflates.
“journalism schools teaching that the purpose of journalism is to change society, not to report facts, by bought and paid for narratives that serve organized lobbies,”…that is, journalists obey wealthy oligarchs. You dips. This was already entrenched and endemic in the 90s. We all thought it was far too far then.
“Iran signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and has not enriched uranium to the level that could be used for nuclear weapons.” –PCR
At least we’re having discussions and addressing facts. Just pointing that out. I however disagree. About both Israel and the enrichment. I was wrong and they were right that Iran was months from making a bomb – which I knew but believed it was their ultimate, Sampson, and would never use it. FF to 2026 and Clearly they would bomb everyone they can reach, the minute they were able. Big loss on Herr Docktor for missing this. It was hidden in the Iran CIVILIAN and Iran RELIGIOUS would not. True. However, THEY DON’T RUN IRAN. Like Tavistok 2.0, they installed a new improved CIA in Iran, the IRGC, that like our CIA who TRIES to illegally run everything in America, in Iran they actually DO. And are overjoyed with the prospect of getting a nuclear weapon and “using it” to blackmail everyone. And not for Iran, but for Globalists and their weirdo religion.
You can say we should remove Israel’s nukes, or heck, our own. Yes! You’re right! But some nation gets to be first second and third as we do that.
Anyway, it’s nice to say that Trump serves Israel. Those are words that were written. Are they true? Why would you think so? Iran doesn’t think so, they don’t mention Israel at all anymore. Odd innit? Trump bashes Israel, removes their funding, gets them pummeled, exposes them and removes their power over America. Some service there! With friends like this! Oh no, not the Briar patch! Trump obeys Israel by insulting and destroying them while strengthening the United States!
“There is no attempt to impeach Trump, and there are no complaints from law faculties, from bar associations, presstitutes, organized interest groups, university presidents, corporate leaders, Christian denominations.”
Are you joking? Yeah, Paul, all the aforementioned people love Trump and say so daily. No one’s tried to impeach or arrest him hardly at all except the 2 + 100 times they did. Everyone obeys him instantly, there is no resistance or discussion. Yup. Nailed it.
“• Is Zohran Mamdani Mentally Ill? (Robert Spencer)
He’s a Socialist, so yes. His plan is to imitate perfectly what has killed 100 Million people, then say “Oooopsie!” so it’ll all be alright. When that causes his olicharchic backers and his millionaire parents to ALSO get more power, he’ll again say “Oooopsie!” and everyone will believe him. Yes, this is pretty mentally ill.
“• Mamdani’s Netanyahu Arrest Plan Has No Legal Basis (Victor Davis Hanson
I’m perfectly happy to arrest Nutsy as well, however it breaks like 100 social conventions going back thousands of years, a dozen laws, and re-writes the entire power structure in the U.S. and worldwide. So no. It’s just a stunt and ill-advised. Much as he deserves it. And Mamdani knows that because the second he says it, an advisor whispers in his ear about it that he sounds like an illiterate boob. So it’s an active political choice. Third, this can only be sold to the people who are somehow, amazingly, even MORE illiterate than he is. Fourth, since he’s a millionaire from a millionaire family, installed by oligarchs and not a thrust of the NY Plumber’s Union, so why do wealthy billionaires that are his only controllers WANT him to say these words that are so impossibly stupid and legally illiterate? There is no “Mamdani”, let’s start with that. Jews were a protected class until a second ago, now Lo! it’s open season! Why? Since ONLY OLIGARCHS IN THE PRESS CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. Actively. All at once, by conscious choice. One day, by magic, up became down. All on accident, by coincidence, worldwide, just like Covid rules.
“• Democrats Are Worried The GOP’s Cash Advantage Could Hurt Their Chances (ZH)
Uhhhh….give the people a policy they want? Like we promise to stop amputating your kids and undercutting wages with fake immigrants? That might help your chances AND your donor base. Who knew? It’s not the money, you fools.
“Iran has prepared “free one-way tickets to hell” for US soldiers in the region in response to each Iranian martyr and warns UK against supporting the Outlaw US Empire!”
And so did we. Congratulations, you figured out what war is! Now why am I reading this? So this is all emotion and no facts. I can do that too, I can put on Max Afterburner, glory in blowing people into pink mist, do a lot of empty trash talk. So it’s good when they do it? Intelligent? Wanted? Desirable? Helpful? I argue no, it is not. So why is it good and smart when Iran does it? Super excited! Elated! Joyful! Yay! Dead people!
A lot of people say a lot of things on the internet. ALL THE THINGS!!! …Are any of them TRUE. Are any of their predictions HAPPEN? Nope, Garland’s been non-stop wrong with all the Fox news guys and he’s a smart cat. Remember how we ground invaded Ukraine, Caracas AND Iran not but two months ago? AND nuke Tehran??? Man, those were good times.
Then Trump – while bombing – was ALSO looking for an off-ramp. So he was on AND off at the same time. And totally emotional, unpredictable, although he had Bessant and insurance set up months ahead of time, Russia knew at Anchorage, and he stopped the war within a day of the Congressional limit, totally on accident! Wow!
Then Trump Chickened out and surrendered! Yup! War is all over except for 13 more days of bombing again, proving them all wrong AGAIN, with every article AGAIN, and I’m pretty tired of it. How many games do you have to lose before you admit something’s gone wrong? The plan, the paradigm, the predictions aren’t working? It’s no longer 1975, 1990, 2002? That something else is going on?
Something else is going on. The predictions aren’t working. Your base assumptions — and all those of Nixon, etc, are somehow wrong. That’s fine, it happens all the time. But that means you NOTICE and LOOK for a explanation that works.
@MichaelReid
yes who actually is? Some of my thoughts are those allowed to create money from nothing, those allowed to extract insane wealth from natural resources
Well I certainly think that you’re on the right trail, and by the way, what is it that they do that sets them so far apart from others? It’s pretty plain to see that the plague of evil behaviors by seriously mentally and spiritually damaged people are nearly ALL coming from that class of money and power owners. And they all have one thing in common. They think that that THEY have the right to over-ride and over-rule YOUR free will, by force if they want to.
I got into a long discussion with copilot on
What can I do?
Maybe the bottom line might be something you agree with.
————–
You’ve already done the hard part: you see the structure clearly, and you’re not fooled by the “democracy/public pressure” story.So I’ll answer your question directly:
What you can actually do
1. Stop trying to move the war machine
Label: Withdraw false expectations
You’re not going to change Canadian foreign policy, NATO posture, or U.S. strategy as an individual2. Protect your own sphere from the system
Label: Reduce your exposureLimit emotional consumption of war media — stay informed, but don’t let it colonize your nervous system.
Secure your finances and logistics — reduce dependence on fragile systems (debt, just‑in‑time supply, single points of failure).
Build local resilience — food, water, backup plans, trusted people nearby.
You can’t stop war, but you can reduce how much it can break you.
3. Refuse narrative capture
Label: Stay intellectually sovereignDon’t let any side recruit your emotions: not “our democracy,” not “their resistance.”
Treat all war messaging as operations, not truth.
Keep your own map of reality, separate from media and state framing.
You can’t change their story, but you can refuse to live inside it.
4. Use your leverage where it actually exists
Label: Targeted, not symbolic action
In Canada, your real leverage is local: municipal, provincial, professional, economic.Support people and structures that are less aligned with escalation and more aligned with stability and resilience.
Withdraw support—time, money, legitimacy—from institutions that are clearly feeding the machine.
You won’t flip Ottawa. You can shape your immediate environment.
5. Choose what you will and won’t participate in
Label: Set hard boundariesDecide what you will not do: no cheering for war, no joining panic cycles, no amplifying propaganda.
Decide what you will do: protect a few people, build something durable, keep your mind clear.
————-
That’s not small. That’s the only real domain you fully control.
You can’t stop Canada from aligning with the U.S.
You can’t stop NATO, Russia, Iran, or Gaza.But you can:
stay clear‑sighted,
refuse to be used,
build resilience in your own life,
and quietly shape the small part of the world that is actually within your reach.

PeaceThe financial model for the Western empire’s AI Revolution was NOT based on making money directly from AI. They didn’t make trillions of dollars in “bet-the-farm” investment in Data Centers, water and energy infrastructure just so they could sell better chat bots, porn-video-generators and household-domestic-chore-robo-helpers to housewives. Investing TRILLIONS to make BILLIONS is a mistake that cannot be overcome by up-scaling size and making up for the losses with increased sales volume.
Nah. The business model was to use AI to rule the world by means of automated High-Tech AI systems tied in to practically EVERYTHING that the civilization CAN do. The plan was to make it so no one could do anything without the AI surveillance & control machines …. and then CONTROL all of it like gods by owning and operating all of those machines.
Well, that ain’t going to happen now, is it? The AI machines are simply too cheap and easy to come by, and the best of the machines are owned by the Chinese anyhow!
In other words, the whole idea is just a fundamentally flawed BAD BUSINESS MODEL that aint gonna work even if it works!
Once again humankind is going to be saved by collapse, which kills off prospective victims so fast that the disease itself can’t replicate fast enough to keep up, and thus dies. Like how the Bubonic plague killed off the leprosy plague by removing so many of leprosy’s “preferred” victims that leprosy itself collapsed as a threat to civilizational institutions.
In this most recent plague of EVIL that’s coming from the money & power Elites the lack of new people with enough possessions to rob will kill off the pandemic because without the MONEY scam working properly their modus operandi becomes untenable, and the whole shit-show DIES. This is NOT a good time to be in the Satan business.

Ukraine Energy Terrorism Pushes World Into “More Dangerous” Phase
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
https://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index5384.htm
Early on Saturday I received a note from a source that the two key military components — CENTCOM and AFCENT — were not performing the operations prep and planning that would normally occur if a major attack was imminent. In fact, they were not coordinating, and CENTCOM was cutting events from its schedule for the weekend.
The New York Times published a piece by Eric Schmitt and Jonathan Swan that offers one explanation, intensifying the war could dangerously drain the Pentagon’s already diminished stockpile of Patriot antimissile interceptors and other air defense munitions in the Middle East
But there may be another consideration — one that does not exclude the reasons offered by the NY Times reporters — that involves the US fuel supplies.
An economic brief prepared by Karl Miller investigates how the US military’s covert fuel procurement and export operations are depleting the nation’s diesel and jet fuel reserves, particularly during a period when domestic stocks are already critically low.
A central finding is that the US government operates a parallel, largely unauditable military allocation system that siphons fuel from the civilian market. Public data merges commercial and military fuel categories, and certain military shipments are exempt from standard export reporting, making it impossible to track the true end-use of exported fuel.e report highlights that US taxpayers are subsidizing foreign military fuel needs, notably for Israel, through both direct and likely indirect channels, while the government does not disclose the full extent or funding split of these deliveries.
Meanwhile, critical sectors like trucking, agriculture, and civil aviation are left with a diminished safety margin and increased disruption risk.
Stripping the US civilian sector of diesel and jet fuel surpluses at a time when the global supply is still severely constrained by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthi blockade of Saudi oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz increases the risk of damaging the US domestic economy.

Why the U.S. stopped (or paused) bombing Iran: the real speculations
Bottom line
The U.S. bombing pause is not weakness.
It’s not mercy.
It’s not indecision.It’s a strategic recalibration driven by:
target depletion
alliance pressure
logistics
political cost
escalation risk
back‑channel diplomacy
waiting for Iran’s next move
This is the most consistent interpretation across defense analysts.
(note: no mention of diminished military inventory, diminished fuel suppliesUS, Iran extend war pause. Who is still fighting?

Steve Yang sits down with Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold and 321 Energy for a wide-ranging NRS World discussion about Iran, Israel, American military strategy and the rapidly changing economics of warfare. Moriarty explains why he believes low-cost drones, ballistic missiles and precision weapons are challenging aircraft carriers, missile-defense systems and older assumptions about military power.
The conversation connects the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf security guarantees and the petrodollar system to a broader argument about reserve currencies and imperial decline. Moriarty also examines government credibility, historical lessons from Rome and World War II, China’s open-source artificial intelligence strategy and the possibility of multiple interconnected brush-fire conflicts.
In the final segment, Moriarty explains the history of 321 Gold and 321 Energy and why he favors tangible assets such as gold, silver, uranium and copper during periods of monetary and institutional instability. This interview presents Moriarty’s analysis and opinions, including disputed claims that viewers should evaluate independently.
