ParticipantAmerica is Achieving Full-Spectrum Energy Dominance — And Nobody is Paying Attention
A sudden 30% reduction of world total energy availability brings down the entire apparatus, triggering further reduction by more than 50% ……… regardless of who dominates the collapsing market, because the market at that stage will consist of hand-chopped firewood.

ParticipantHere’s the straight, operational answer — and it’s actually a smart question, because the U.S. force movements into the Middle East right now look like preparation for escalation, but they can also serve a completely different purpose.
Let’s break it down cleanly.🪖 Could the U.S. troops being moved into the Middle East be used for evacuation operations in Iraq?
Yes — absolutely.
Even if the public framing is “deterrence” or “readiness,” the practical military function of these deployments is dual‑use. Evacuation is one of the core missions U.S. forces prepare for in any unstable theater.
And Iraq is exactly the kind of place where the U.S. would pre‑position forces if they anticipate needing to extract personnel quickly.🎯 Why evacuation is a real possibility
1. Iraq is politically volatile right now
– Iranian‑aligned militias operate freely.
– U.S. bases have been targeted before.
– If Iran retaliates for anything, Iraq is one of the easiest places to hit U.S. assets indirectly.
2. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad is one of the largest in the world
Evacuating it requires:
– airlift
– perimeter security
– convoy protection
– staging areas in Kuwait or Jordan
You don’t do that with a skeleton crew.
3. The U.S. always prepares evacuation contingencies during regional crises
This is standard doctrine.
Whenever tensions spike with Iran, CENTCOM quietly positions forces for:
– NEO (Non‑Combatant Evacuation Operations)
– embassy drawdowns
– rapid extraction of contractors and diplomats
It’s not dramatic — it’s just prudent.🛠️ What kinds of troops are ideal for evacuation missions?
The types of units being moved into the region right now (based on public reporting) are exactly the ones used for NEO operations:
– Marines (MEUs are built for embassy evacuations)
– Airborne infantry (rapid insertion, perimeter control)
– Air Force mobility units (C‑17s, C‑130s)
– Special operations (for high‑risk extractions)
These are the same units used in:
– Kabul 2021
– Libya 2014
– Iraq 2014
– South Sudan 2013
So yes — the capability is there.🧭 What this means in practical terms
Even if the White House frames the deployments as “deterrence,” the Pentagon always plans for the worst‑case scenario.
And the worst case is:
– Iran retaliates
– militias in Iraq escalate
– U.S. personnel become targets
– evacuation becomes necessary
So the troop movements serve both:
– deterrence
– evacuation readiness
That’s not speculation — that’s how U.S. force posture works.March 23, 2026 at 10:15 pm #235925Michael Reid

ParticipantThe assigned task of Zionist PsyOp creeps like @citizenX , CelticBiker, aspnaz and earlier creeps before them is to make you hate “Jews” (just Jews, mind you, and no one else!) so much that you don’t look at the other Zionist creeps of which the “Jews” are just one more part in the much bigger, older and nastier Satanic Murder Inc that those Jews he’s talking about belong to….. along with many others who are about as “Semitic” as Yosemite Sam.
CitizenX (citizen of WHERE, I wonder) pretends to not get that obvious point because he’s working for the Zionists himself, and they both want you to go kill Zionist Jews so that you leave the other Zionists alone. The dark joke is that it’s extremely likely that the signatory on his paycheck is almost certainly Jewish.

U.S. and Israel are two terror regimes with no regard to civilian life.
Now Iran is focused on smashing the key nodes that make the state of Israel function.

Wikipedia says the US had 222 C-17s in service. Recent flight logs indicate at least 46 C-17 flights from the US to the Middle East since March 12. Mostly to Israel and Jordan.
I wonder if evacuations are being planned.

ParticipantMaxwell/Epstein – Not Epstein/Maxwell!
Maxwell Files – Not Epstein Files!
The real operation was Maxwell/Epstein.
Maxwell, billionaire’s daughter, was always calling the shots.
Epstein was the front man/fall guy.However, the MSM would have you believe the easy to belive stereotype of man/woman scenario.
The DoJ used the stereotype man/woman to target Epstein rather than Maxwell for blame.
So, as intended, Maxwell is considered an accessory, because she is a woman.
This is already a built-in bias for most people.
People don’t even give it a second thought.So, as hard as it might be for you, please re-consider the operational outcome to be woman/man or Maxwell/Epstein.
Yes, the woman was always the boss!
Yes, hard to believe, but true.It is Maxwell they where always protecting, not Epstein!
This is how Robert Maxwell, the father, set up the operation.
His daughter was always in charge!
Epstein played his role perfectly, as the frontman/fall guy, right until the end.
As a result he led a fucking good life, without regards to breaking any laws.It was never the Epstein Files, but rather the Maxwell Files.
Maxwell, the real evil, will soon be quietly released, when nobody is paying any attention, with zero msm mention.

ParticipantThe Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it
Hal Turner
The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.Importantly, the $47.78 trillion in reported liabilities does not include the unfunded obligations of social insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare — those are disclosed separately in the off-balance-sheet Statement of Social Insurance (SOSI).
The government’s consolidated balance sheet position, excluding the SOSI, deteriorated by nearly $2.07 trillion between FY 2024 and FY 2025, reaching a staggering negative $41.72 trillion. Total liabilities are now nearly eight times the value of reported assets. The largest drivers were a $2 trillion increase in federal debt and interest payable (now $30.33 trillion) and a $438.8 billion increase in federal employee and veteran benefits payable (now $15.47 trillion).
The Off-Balance-Sheet Iceberg
The off-balance-sheet picture is even more alarming. The 75-year unfunded social insurance obligation surged by $10.1 trillion in a single year, rising from $78.3 trillion in FY 2024 to $88.4 trillion in FY 2025 — driven primarily by a $6.9 trillion jump in projected Medicare Part B shortfalls and a $2.5 trillion increase for Social Security. The Treasury’s Statement of Long-Term Fiscal Projections shows the 75-year fiscal gap widening from 4.3% of GDP in FY 2024 to 4.7% in FY 2025.
If the $88.4 trillion in 75-year off-balance-sheet obligations were added to the $47.8 trillion in official balance sheet liabilities, total federal obligations would now exceed $136.2 trillion — roughly five times U.S. annual GDP.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a disclaimer of opinion on the U.S. government’s FY 2025 financial statements — the 29th consecutive year it has been unable to determine whether the statements are fairly presented. This is primarily due to serious, ongoing financial management problems at the Department of Defense and weaknesses in accounting for interagency transactions.
What $136 Trillion Looks Like in Your Living Room
Not only has the financial press ignored the consolidated financial statements, but most members of Congress and members of the general public will not read the consolidated financial statements. Documents like the consolidated financial statements are not the kind of thing you want to read before driving. If that’s not bad enough, most people cannot relate to the trillion-dollar numbers in the financial statements. Therefore, it is appropriate to translate them into terms that people will understand.
Most people cannot relate to trillion-dollar figures on a government ledger. So consider this: divide every number by 100 million — drop eight zeros — and federal finances look like a household budget in freefall.
That household earns $52,446 and spends $73,378 — running a $20,932 annual deficit. Its total liabilities and unfunded promises amount to $1,361,788 against just $60,554 in assets, leaving it $1.3 million in the hole. Uncle Sam, by any accounting standard, is insolvent.
Congress has clearly lost control of the nation’s finances. America is facing a fiscal catastrophe. The reckoning, long deferred, is becoming impossible to ignore.

Hal Turner Editorial Opinion
Now, perhaps you understand why they’ve been trying so hard to actually START World War 3; they’re broke. They don’t want to take the blame for being the one’s who did it, they need a really big war to blame it on. Too bad for them the Russians didn’t take the bait with Ukraine.
So now they’re trying to start it with Iran. They need some really big war they can point to, to tell the American people “we didn’t Bankrupt the country, it was the war!”
You see, they’re worried about another potential January 6-style event, only this one with Guns and Nooses, lynching them from the lamp posts.
But the Iranians aren’t cooperating either.
So they’re in a jam. What do do now?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
I wonder if some of those political psychos are thinking “False Flag attack upon America?” Maybe something akin to 9-11? Then they can BLAME IT on . . . . . whoever, declare war, and have at it!
After all, it really doesn’t matter who they blame as long as they can deflect responsibility for wrecking the entire country’s finances. It seems to me they’ll do literally ANYTHING to avoid the blame.
Americans would do well to learn the old skill of tying NOOSES.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with someone who always expected to reach the end of the internet.
U.S. is insolvent.
How long will that take to find MSM?
Iran will have their way and break free.

ParticipantMy opinion is irrelevant.
$136.2 trillion — roughly five times U.S. annual GDP.That money was loaned to the gov. by the rich and from the savings from the sheep. (pensions etc,)
The sheep have no way of forcing the gov. to pay them back.
The some rich will also take a loss.
The future revenues will also fall.
The future demand for spending for services will increase.Trump tried to save the system, with tarrifs, for his friend and failed.
