    dbs i responded to your question about finance last night.
    after a period of contemplation my final thoughts on the matter

    The reality is clearly evident that the top of the western social pyramid accepts genocide as a means to an end. Transhumanism is a seriously contemplated goal among what is recognized as an elite. A robotic artificial intelligence replacement of hiuman physical and mental capacity is underway. There is an ease in conversation where the use of fission weapons is deemed acceptable by the general populace.

    Irregardless of the mechanism that introduced the Covid19 virus into the world population the management of the crisis, a debacle by any metric, was planned.

    At the moment all of the western nations are on the verge of bankruptcy. There is one nation that has the resources and capacity for self sufficiency and it is not a part of the western bloc.

    Bessent was a partner at Soros Fund Management (SFM) and founded Key Square Group, a global macro investment firm.(wikipedia) The man is capable of bleeding the existing facade of international finance not understanding the depth and intricacy. I do not see where the well being of mainstreet even crosses the man’s mind. Looking at United States foreign policy from the instant Colin Powell held the vial up to view to the present i have no confidence that the United States upper management can produce anything but disaster.

    I have been reading those here, who can write, long enough to know most feel their service to the hegemon has earned them a seat at the banquet of spoils. Their service has indeed earned them a seat at a banquet, the banquet of consequences.

    There is no moral avenue visible from the publishing of The Wealth of Nations to the present. What i see is that any going along to get along and participation in the current juggernaut leads to humanicide.

    (insert every foul expletive you can imagine me assembling to express my disdain for placing wealth above life and the absence of empathy and compassion)

    Forgot, so Day 15 of any page number of evidence anywhere of Trump and Epstein. Easiest win ever! From articles and Memes I read, must be proof everywhere! More than even Yellowcake.

    “Trumpturd assumes violence is not a two way street.” PS spooning Trump every night and knows what he thinks. Guy who’s been shot twice, or possibly 15 attempts, who grew up in the s–thole that is NYC, whose whole staff lives on military bases for protection, ALSO doesn’t know violence exists.

    Being fair, gas prices up 25% here. Headed to $3.99. Still lower than Biden existing. Food has not followed…yet.

    Chart of Iranian launch. Now we have to wonder if the chart is accurate, but at least it’s finally data!!! not memes.

    Diesen – Postol: Iran already has a nuclear weapon and can deliver any time they want to. Oh. Um. What are they doing then? Luring us in? This is “existential” already. I think this was the same guy as an expert on missiles, who thinks all tech stopped in 1982. So dangerous mix-up of completely right and completely wrong because he exclusively lives in theory. Don’t know what to make of it, since I’d have to re-do every line of his work.

    “Watch: EU Parliament Told Continent Is “On Track For Civil War”

    Whyever could that be? Must be the “Civil War” asteroid crashed in from space.

    US Senators Seek To Sanction Hungary Over Obstructing Ukraine Aid

    You mean the Senate that is no longer sending aid themselves? It’s a great war if Hungary pays for it. We’ll keep it up all day so long as you die, not me.

    “US To Let Russian Oil Tanker Deliver Fuel To Cuba: Report

    “Let” them? That is an act of war, once again, not declared, and Congress loves it, abdicating all action and using Blame. Yay.

    “The global energy shockwave from the Iran oil is crushing demand around the globe, forcing government to step in to avoid economic collapse.”

    “Government” stops collapse by stealing money from one group and giving to another. That is, from the poor to the rich. Makes perfect sense. Who knew collapse was as easy as stealing? I can do this all day!

    This is of course, identical to the CO2 Carbon Credit plan. They raise energy prices on the poor! That’s what’s happening today, so everyone gave Trump the Nobel Prize for the environment, right? Singlehandedly saving the planet. Not only that, he’s doing far faster, so everybody notices! Thanks, Cheeto-man.

    Cory Booker Blasts Party, Says Democrats ‘Failed This Moment’, And Calls For New Leaders

    Cory Booker hates Schumer Democrats. Then what? Go with the Ilhan Omar Squad?

    1970, British Humor for the President of 2020. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qzndfFW0FPc

    Kultsummer: yes, they are showing both the magic, and the problems, of too many cultures interlaced in one area. But certainly to be proud of, I could never see why that area doesn’t do better than Italy.

    BDS: It was unclear but my take was, no evil, in London or anywhere else can exist without our activity and complicity. This is true. And we can shut it off the same way now. But we are not moral. As I experience every day. So changing London will not have a “Death Star” effect because the evil is also in us. As added, that “System”, financial system, is also our and in us, and if “just switched off” would kill a billion? Billions? Too much transition too fast.

    I object, however, to say the U.S. is uniquely evil. Or “London” for that matter. The people there, or here, or in Iran, are all somewhere in the middle. Yes, we are making choices, but no group is born or inherently carrying that evil.

    “Iran Hit Dimona — Missiles Broke Through and the IAEA Issued a Nuclear Statement About Israel”

    Yes, but only since the 12-Day War months and months ago.

    IRGC says the attack on the Kuwaiti desalination plant was actually done by the “Zionist regime.”

    Wouldn’t shock me but needs serious proof at a time when we can’t get proof of anything. Just think tho: Kuwait WILL find out. The nation is not going to stop existing, unlike, eg Gaza and Lebanon they want to annex. So if Israel did it, it would be incredibly against all Israeli interests, breaking short-term alliance now, while ALSO causing a long-term ‘war’ or hardship in the region later. On the other hand, Iran has every reason. Kuwait is de-facto part of an alliance attacking them. Clearly they moved from hitting U.S. bases to the whole Gulf Nations by like Day 5. Kuwait being constantly weakened for decades by this is generally good for Iran. But can it be proven. That it wasn’t hit at all, all lies for no reason, makes the most sense.

    That also means they are still “Holding back”. A lot. Even as it doesn’t look like they are.

    ET/Vance: Yes, as your memo would imply, Vance isn’t “just talking” and “Going to look”. He is a deeply planned part of inevitable disclosure. Playing his part, with the script placed before him. That’s fine, though I’m sick of it.

    “destroyed a covert command-control center of American terrorist forces,”

    Pretty tired of this language on both sides. “Terrorism” specifically is contrary to open direct war. They’re mutually exclusive states. In general, no national state has “terrorism” because they are by definition State Actions, and actions of War. So thanks for another word having no meaning at all, so we are unable to talk or think straight, then wonder what went wrong.

    Ted Lieu worst AI slop ever. Everything. “Not this but that” “Listen to the end”, no data. Focus on the Feelz. Opening line: “Congress is capable of shutting up and paying attention for 10 seconds.” Wow!

    Lieu over time has posted the craziest, most obvious fabrications, later and universally debunked with the quickest clicks on Google. So not a great start that he’s a gibbering lunatic. And he has “An audio”? In a time where every day Trump and Emperor Palpatine are on camera dancing the Conga together? Okay, well, Wolf and Epstein ALSO are on emails, which are stamped, where Wolf and Epstein lamented they didn’t have S—t on Trump at all and needed to fabricate the appearance of it.

    “Chain of custody” is therefore very important here. So show me. Where are Lieu’s tapes on Clinton, who we have on actual confirmed record was there all the time? Ah. Yes. Facts. Logic. We don’t do that: we do feelz.

    “A member of Iran’s National Security Commission announced that a plan to manage the Strait of Hormuz has been approved. Key points of the plan

    Yes, but you need “An Army” to enforce plans. A lot of idiots write a lot of things on spreadsheets, and none of them are real.

    “Iran LEVELS Israel, Trump PANICS as US Marines Target Kharg & Hormuz | Larry Johnson”

    No one is panicking. No one has ever panicked. Israel was leveled months ago. And we have no evidence Kharg is a target. Might be. Will be in play someday. But they just make S–t Up every minute of every hour of every day, because: CIA. I always trust the CIA whenever they speak. When have they ever lied?

    Borzzikman: A Turning Point in the WAR: Israel admitted Defeat after devastating IDF casualties on the Ground

    Yes, I see how Israel has openly surrendered and is occupied by Tehran now. Totally a thing in national news. How do people even assemble these words into sentences? Is their mouth now entirely disconnected from their brain? Well yay, since Israel has ALREADY completely surrendered, the war is over and no one’s shooting at all. Problem solved. I said it on the Internet, now it’s true.

    “The longer the strait remains closed, the more it will roil the global economy and boost gas prices.”

    Yes but this helps us. The U.S. We SELL oil and food. Why WOULD we care if it’s open or shut? Very little we need moves through there. It’s Europe and China’s problem.

    Brian Berletic: Nations should never pursue their own interests with the means at their disposal. That’s why China has never influences us here, surrounded our military bases, creates bioweapons and Fentanyl, and put their people into the offices of our Congressmen. That would be BAD, you see, but only bad when we do it, and we are the only ones. No other nation pursues their own interests, ackshully. And because they are the poor, simple, jungle children, they have to just obey everything others tell them. They don’t know any better and are incapable of acting on their own. Eg: uniting all Asia or the whole Global South against one nation, the way Europe united against Napoleon. Nope. Europe can do this, and has work and responsibilities, Brown people, Asians, do not and cannot, he says. Wow. Thanks for that, Brian.

    Again, the U.S. is the only nation on earth, and we are the only people with responsibilities and actions. Yup. And saying that every day is not racist at all. Nope!

    Ukraine sending money: Yes but it’s not “Ukraine”. This is how the whole system has worked for decades. In “The West” but everywhere else too. All mafia, all the way down. No democracy anywhere if they can help it.

    It is, in fact, winning to hold people by the ears and force them to recognize this.

    “we will give this person’s address to our armed forces” — Zelensky casually threatening”

    Also how it’s always been done, Ukraine is just familiar and open about it. Everyone is mad the lies are STOPPING. This is much with the Left v Trump. We want you to LIE about the Iran war, we never cared if you fight it. Obviously. As seen with Obama. As little children, Daddy tell us pretty stories. Yes, well, Democracy doesn’t work like that, in a child-like state with no work or responsibility.

    Democrat/Left: As per Demon Hunters:

    When cornered, the Demons appear like helpless children, sob, cry out to mommy. (this is after arming up with handguns to go attack federal agents all day). When asked why – Demons don’t actually even HAVE mothers – the demon just says, “I dunno, those are the magic words that make you not kill me.” That’s it. None of it is real. The (long) video here just elaborates, the Democrats are NOW all tri-corn wearing patriot constitutionalists, against Kings and government power, until 10 seconds from now when they get power again and use it to kill you.

    They are very dangerous, but the danger is I guess anyone takes them seriously? Like I don’t believe a word and long took that for granted. I’m also not going to hobble “my side” until the danger has passed, keep punching. Their appearance, as children, women, or in inflatable unicorn suits, are just a way to hide guns and bombs and they know it and laugh. Show up to their meetings and ask them, they’re completely open about it and their lust for mass-death. “Burn it all down.”

    So “What happened” to the party, VDH? It was all engineered from back-when, published, you can read the books, as a 100 year plan of toppling the U.S. via exactly this “Communist” means. As they’ve done to scores of nations using the same pattern. That’s why at the same time they also need to engineer the upcoming oil crisis and famine. You must have the famine to cause the war, so they’ve done everything humanly possible – and quite openly – to cause one. They arrange, paid, exposed “Corruption” — and also as usual, sacrifice the Jooos – to discredit the government and all people because they engineered this war, same as they do in Armenia, or Turkey, or anywhere, everywhere else. It’s all “fake”. Not in the sense that it isn’t a famine, but in the sense it’s voluntary. Europe can just surrender and get all the oil, gas, and food they ever wanted. They are blowing it up instead. There are no actual problems, you just have saboteurs and murderers aboard ship.

    “we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Total dick. No reason. Also a war crime if that wasn’t obvious. Can’t think of a single legal premise. So if you’d like to expand on this and explain, go ahead.

    “Many analysts are now advancing the hypothesis that the Third World War has already begun and that we are in its first stage.”

    Yes, but Bush started it in 2001, McCain vowed to have a “100 years war”. That’s going pretty well: 25 years already and no end in sight.

    You could also pick the day as Obama starting up 5 more nations, or 2014 (illegally) starting up Ukraine. Picking today is fine as well, but the point is, history didn’t start 9 weeks ago. It’s nice to see Dugan’s point of view. Now he doesn’t say “I want the lie” that powerful states do whatever they want to and always have – he knows better – but he leans that way. Having to PRETEND still hampers them to some extent. I find that more dangerous, others, less. They are reasonable arguments.

    “• Iran’s Victory Would Have a Silver Lining (Paul Craig Roberts)

    Not a single Fox News person (owned by British far-Liberals) doesn’t want Iran to win and entirely crush and destroy the United States. ...Doesn’t that seem somewhat … odd… to anyone? EVERY General, Colonel, CIA agent – 100% hope, beg, pray on their knees, hours each day that the U.S. will be utterly destroyed, and themselves, quite obviously, with it. It’s almost like they’re English, who prayed and did everything they could imagine to destroy Britain, even laboriously and expensively importing millions and millions, the entire foreign army to do so.

    You can oppose the war. There are lots of arguments. But does that not seem Odd to you?

    The other side is: as of Oct 8, suddenly everyone was against the Jews and it was all okay again. After a lifetime, one Tuesday, suddenly: Go Time! Progrom-on-Tap. BY THE SAME JEWS who are still in and running the Media. Suddenly all okay and good now. Not…Odd…at all? PCR here has the same thread, but more appropriately for Israel, not the wider race. And he said this even before. But same point. You’re being played.

    So who’s doing the playing behind the curtain? Not the Jews, it seems. “For you shall know them by their fruits” and “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

    “The ABA filed its “friend of the court” brief to argue that the matter is clear: Anyone who gives birth on our soil, even if here illegally or only briefly, may claim U.S. citizenship for their child.”

    It’s completely logical that’s why no other nation on earth does it, or has ever done it. They all consider it completely insane to do it, which is why it’s perfectly logical. It’s also legal and the original intent because that Congress and the whole U.S. didn’t do that for lifetimes, like from 1870-1920 or something. So we know that’s what they meant.

    Perfect example of “The Law” (or the Supreme Court) WANTED it to be true, so the “Just Made S—t Up”. They do this all the time actually, take any class on the Supreme Court rulings. Reverses willy-nilly based on “whatever I like” and we pretend it’s all real. Often enough they even say so, or you can see the completely staged, non-real cases pushed through for pure agenda, like Dred Scot or Roe. I can presume bribery and death threats behind the scenes as makes no sense otherwise.

    “• The Great Illusion of NATO is Fading Fast (Trenin)

    It’s an illusion because they have no men and no weapons. We do. We see this in Europe where they have “750,000 men” or something, but if they used any of them they have no Jeeps and each home nation would be undefended, the bases vacant and falling down. Those men are the HOME STAFF, not the projection force. As demonstrated, they can project 10k, 60k men? Long-term? That’s about 4 weeks in Ukraine, who has been taking it easy on you.

    “It would step back from the front line and expect Europeans to step forward…For Western European elites, this was deeply unsettling. They had invested heavily, politically and economically, in the Ukraine conflict.”

    Waaaaay understated. We Lured them in, completely, with promises. They were complete morons, keeping not a bullet between them in reserve for accidents, certain we were their b-tch. Then merely handing it off to them, collapses them, and we knew it. They tried to play us, but got played themselves, and as here more are noticing. They still are trying the same s—t, so Trump impunes thy sacred honor and insults them over Greenland, then Hormuz n s—t. We’re complete allies unless someone has to “Land a plane” in Spain, then that’s just too far, too much to ask.

    Of course, outside of us, NATO is attacked daily by Ukraine, Iran, etc, and that’s perfectly fine, they like it and approve. Only when Orange Man “says words” is it bad. Don’t insult Greenland which Denmark was actively sterilizing only a while ago.

    Europe as “Christian” nation. Yeah, that doesn’t just mean “Not Muslim”. It means an actual religion with actual beliefs, tenets, requirements, attendance, and stuff. No one in Europe is “Christian”, because almost no one in America is either, and we’re multiples ahead of you. If you want anything in the universe of “Being Christian”, then Seek Christ.

    Perhaps then any real change can happen for you vacant, materialist atheists, living out your beliefs into the collapse of their inevitable nihilism.

    Flattened:

    Only Iran is being flattened!
    Everybody else is being pinpriçked!

    The US/Israel are using 2000 or bigger pound bombs/warheads against Iran.
    Iran is using mostly drones and a few missiles with limited payloads.

    The US/Israel completely flatten everything they hit.
    Iran mostly damages what it hits.

    The explosive tonnage probably favors the US/Israel by 20 or more to 1.
    The US/Israel have exceeded 15,000 hits.
    Israel has probably been hit by about 10 to 15 missiles a day or maybe about 500 hits in total!

    The math says it all.
    Iran is being flattened!
    Israel is certainly not being flattened.

    Connecting Dots that Don’t Connect

    Geopolitics for dummies.

    Gold and Geopolitics deconstructs The Emperor of Lies Trumptard’s No Plan Plan

    “Trump is executing a 5D chess maneuver of historic proportions – cutting off China’s energy supply with Venezuela, Canada as loyal vassal, striking Iran to hurt China’s oil supply, flipping Russia’s pivots to the West, blowing up BRICS Beijing surrenders, and Strategic Bitcoin Reserve riding stablecoins to dollar supremacy for the next century”.

    Haha. What a joke

    Delusions and confabulations up the ass

    “I, however, find it’s almost utterly bollocks.” says No. 1

    “The theory also assumes the US can run simultaneous pressure campaigns against Venezuela, Iran, AND Russia, while managing a trade war with China, Canada, the EU, and apparently everyone else, and at the same time juggling an active hot war with Iran.

    [haha, give me break]

    All the while without the military, diplomatic, and economic machinery cracking under the strain.

    Let me let you in on a little secret: the US military is not sized to execute that many overlapping interventions.

    The US economy is not insulated from the oil price spikes this sequence creates. No matter what the oil ticker says.

    The US political system is not built for the kind of decade-long patience this plan requires.

    A Perfect Essay for a Fake Country with a Fake President

    The Empire of Lies Special Edition

    I Think I Know Why Everything Sucks

    by Matt Van Swol

    I think I know why everything sucks…

    …and it’s because everything is fake…….. [and gay]

    We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs.

    We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.

    We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.

    We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.

    We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can’t think for themselves.

    We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.

    We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.

    We are donating to fake nonprofits where the money never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.

    We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.

    We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that’s actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn’t quite any language, requires tools it doesn’t include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.

    We are downloading fake “free” apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don’t work, hidden behind a paywall we didn’t see, protected by a privacy policy we didn’t read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn’t read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we’ve never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we’ll never hear of, to build a profile on us we’ll never see, to influence decisions we’ll never know were made.

    IT. IS. ALL. FAKE.

    And we all yearn for what was once real.

    Don’t you remember? Did you forget?

    There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.

    When bread went stale because… well, that’s what real bread does!

    When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.

    When a family could live off a single income.

    When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.

    When schools was HARD… and that was the point!

    When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,

    When you bought something once… and it was yours forever.

    When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.

    And now nothing is real, and that’s why everything sucks.

    TEL AVIV/WASHINGTON – Iran attacked and set ablaze a fully loaded crude oil tanker off Dubai on Monday, as President Donald Trump warned the U.S. would obliterate Iran’s energy plants and oil wells if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz.

    The apparent strike on the Kuwait-flagged Al-Salmi is the latest in a string of assaults on merchant vessels by missiles or explosive air and sea drones in the Gulf and Strait of Hormuz since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28.

    Simplicius, Essential US AWACS Plane Destroyed Amidst New Iranian Attacks, as US Continues Losing Critical Capability in Region
    Let us again be clear about Trump’s current plan:
    ​ The plan is to continue bombing Iran to maintain psychological pressure while building up troops in the region as a further pressure lever in the hopes that Iran’s leadership will grow frightened and finally agree to negotiate and compromise. There are no real remaining military objectives left because all the original ones were proven to be impossible to actually implement—i.e. regime change, Iran’s surrender, collapse of the IRGC or wider military structure, societal upheaval, etc.
    ​ Now the only operative plan remains to get Iran to negotiate a ceasefire that can look at least mildly favorable to Trump’s optics. The problem is, thus far Iran has continued to maintain absolutely maximalist demands, such as the total removal of all US bases from the region, as well as guarantees of never striking Iran again.
    ​ Disregarding the completely unrealistic—and to be frank, childish—ideas about ground troop invasion of Iranian land, we can therefore conclude that Trump’s one final remaining emergency lever will be to massively bomb Iran’s energy infrastructure, a kind of desperate last-ditch hail mary out of spite, the fit of a sadistic sore loser.
    ​ But even this is obviously fraught with great risk because:
    It will not accomplish anything, due to Iran’s grid decentralization
    It will cause an even bigger headache for the US when Iran responds in kind and lights up the entire region’s critical infrastructure to an even greater degree
    ​ But the pressure is actually increasing on the US-Israeli Axis powers because the Houthis have now cashed in their promise of opening up a new front with the launch of ballistic missiles onto Israel earlier today.
    ​ Likewise, Hezbollah has been ramping up the humiliation of Israeli forces in lower Lebanon with the advent of FPV drones, including those on fiber-optics, which have reportedly taken out many Merkava tanks in the past few days alone, with footage attesting to various hits. The IDF is scrambling to recover after announcing intent to annex southern Lebanon.​ https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/essential-us-awacs-plane-destroyed

    ​ Trump Ready To Take US Arms For Ukraine & Divert Them To Middle East

    ​ He added Washington is no longer directly supplying the Ukrainian government and armed forces, but is instead “selling” weapons to NATO states that then pass them along. This has for many months been the White House’s stated plan.
    ​ According to The Washington Post, officials say the Pentagon is weighing whether to divert missile interceptors initially intended for NATO purchase for Ukraine and send them to the Middle East.​ https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-signals-move-take-us-arms-ukraine-divert-them-middle-east

    ​ Escape Key, Kushner and Witkoff, Three wars, two men — one pattern.
    In December 2025, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin for approximately five hours, presenting documents outlining a phased settlement plan for Ukraine. Later that month, Witkoff convened representatives from the US, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey in Miami to advance Phase 2 of the Gaza ceasefire.
    ​ On March 23, 2026, Trump claimed Kushner and Witkoff had conducted talks with senior Iranian officials regarding the terms under which Iran’s energy infrastructure might be spared. Tehran denies the meeting took place, with Ghalibaf himself calling it ‘fake news’ designed to manipulate oil and financial markets4.
    ​ By March 25, the White House was working to arrange a meeting in Islamabad, with Pakistan having transmitted a 15-point US ceasefire proposal to Tehran and the IAEA chief confirming he expected talks that weekend.
    ​ Three wars. Two men operating outside normal diplomatic channels, at compressed timescales, producing phased conditions rather than political agreements. Neither man is a career diplomat.
    ​ Witkoff holds the title of Special Envoy, sworn in by Secretary Rubio, but his background is New York real estate development — his friendship with Donald Trump dates to 1986, when he bought the future president a sandwich at a deli.
    ​ Kushner holds no formal title at all. He is the president’s son-in-law, a real estate investor whose family company purchased 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.8 billion and spent the better part of a decade trying to refinance it9.
    ​ Between them, they are negotiating the reconstruction of Ukraine, the governance of Gaza, and the terms under which Iran re-enters the international system.
    ​But the question is not actually whether they are qualified. The question is what function they perform — and for whom.
    ​ In an October 2025 interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes10, Kushner and Witkoff described the function themselves — though not in those terms. They confirmed working Iran, Ukraine, and an Algeria-Morocco deal simultaneously.
    ​ Witkoff called peace ‘infectious’ and said leaders were calling the White House asking how to move deals forward. Kushner explained that Trump had delegated broad authority to negotiate — the mandate, in Kushner’s words, was simply ‘don’t make a bad deal’ — and that the two of them had been ‘freewheeling it’, merging separate ceasefire and end-of-war proposals into a single document on their own initiative, then presenting it to the president for his approval.
    ​ When asked about doing billions of dollars of business with the same Gulf governments whose representatives were involved in the peace talks, Kushner replied: ‘What people call conflicts of interest, Steve and I call experience and trusted relationships’. Witkoff agreed on camera: ‘We really do’.
    ​ Alastair Crooke, a former British diplomat and founder of the Conflicts Forum, described the mechanism in February 2026. The failure to resolve the Ukraine conflict, he argued, is a feature — one that opens a path for business to be done, for stakeholder deals to be cut, and for billions to be shared out.
    ​ Trump, Witkoff and Kushner are said to be confident that they can construct a financial reward system for western debt-holders, investors and politicians that succeeds in retaining the financial rewards of war — without the ancillary ingredient of bloodshed.
    ​ The territorial issues, security guarantees, EU membership status, and the position of NATO are, in Crooke’s framing, ‘downstream details once the larger payment system is organised’.
    ​ That sentence deserves to be read twice. The politics is downstream of the payment system, the governance is downstream of the financial architecture, and the settlement conditions are downstream of the clearing house. What Crooke is describing is not a peace process — it is the installation of a new financial system, with conflict resolution as its onboarding mechanism.​ https://escapekey.substack.com/p/kushner-and-witkoff

    ​ Escape Key, Settlement Of Time
    Intergenerational equity — the idea that present generations owe debts both to the past and to the future — has become one of the most consequential concepts in international policy. It underpins climate finance, reparations discourse, carbon budgeting, and an expanding web of institutional arrangements that now govern how nations allocate resources across time.
    ​ What is less widely understood is the architecture through which it operates — and who controls each layer of that architecture…
    ..The Democratic Deficit – The architecture has a structural feature that distinguishes it from ordinary policymaking: the two populations whose interests it claims to represent — the dead and the unborn — cannot participate in any democratic process. ​ Past generations who were enslaved or colonised are not here to define what they are owed. Future generations who will bear the costs of climate change do not yet exist to contest the discount rate applied to their welfare.
    Someone must therefore speak for them. That role falls to the cognitive layer — the philosophers, historians, economists, and modellers whose work defines both what the past debt was and what the future obligation is. Their authority rests on expertise, not on any form of popular mandate. They cannot be voted out by the populations whose claims they adjudicate.
    The clearinghouses that operationalise their standards inherit the same insulation, because the entire justification for the architecture is that democratic politics is too short-termist, too captured by present interests, to protect people who cannot vote…
    ..Stern, Nordhaus, Rawls, and Rothschild operate within it implicitly. The discount rate is not subject to referendum. The attribution of historical emissions is not debated in Parliament. The . ‘Stranded assets’ cannot realistically be appealed.
    Each of these decisions is made within the cognitive layer and transmitted downward through institutions that are, by design, beyond electoral reach.​ https://escapekey.substack.com/p/settlement-of-time

    ​ David Hughes, Remembering the Marches – At a time of uncertainty among “the Resistance,” it is salutary to remember the marches against government overreach during Covid
    ​ The above protests represent just a fraction of the total. The simple fact is that there was massive transnational resistance to government overreach during the Covid era (albeit no large protests in the United States), and rightly so.
    ​ Given that the modus operandi of those running the “Covid-19” operation was to push the oppressive restrictions as far as they could get away with, it seems reasonable to conclude that they only backed down once resistance had reached the point of requiring something as radical as the Canadian Emergencies Act to deal with it. The transnational nature of the resistance meant that similar would follow in other countries.
    ​ It is telling that the legacy media went to such lengths to mischaracterise and discredit the protests, for any honest reporting would clearly have reflected the illegitimacy of the “measures,” as expressed by the actions of millions of people worldwide.
    ​ That the protests were repeatedly met with police brutality and attempts to provoke violence is also significant, as it reveals the iron fist beneath the velvet glove of public health in the biosecurity state.
    ​ Although “the Resistance” has since appeared fractured through all manner of psy-ops and infiltration of the independent media, it is important to remember that there are people everywhere who understand that their constitutionally enshrined rights and freedoms are under threat and are willing to resist.​ https://davidahughes.net/remembering-the-marches/?utm_source=sendfox&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=remembering-the-marches

    What a thing produces proves beyond doubt what it is.

    There’s a metaphor in the Bible (although many believe it an actual event & I say both versions work for me because I get the point either way.) Basically, Jesus is said to have cursed a fig tree because it bore no figs.

    No matter how much something looks like a fig tree, if it doesn’t produce figs then it is not a fig tree and so the benefits that are due to real fig tree are not deserved at all to a fake fig tree. Such a fake should in fact be cursed as a lie.

    So, I get the originally intended point of the story whether it was meant or interpreted as God’s word, metaphor or hard science. The point is true in all three cases.

    Kind of like the case of our ostensibly “benevolent” government being FAKE because it has little benevolence in it and mostly just robs and murders people.

    And therefore, to that extent, deserves only to be cursed.

    After a solid week of TAE hysterical pearl clutching posts on “The Muslims are Invading Eutardistan, The Muslims are Invading Eutardistan” which is like saying “water is wet, water is wet” there’s this anniversary:

    THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Spain announces it will expel all Jews – 1492

    In 1492, King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castille issue the Alhambra Decree, mandating that all Jews be expelled from the country.

    This comes not long after they had conquered the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, finally freeing Spain from Muslim rule after nearly 800 years.

    Euroturdistan “leaders” LET THIS HAPPEN

    SO TAE, why no breathless articles naming and shaming those same ‘leaders’

    This has been going on for DECADES.

    Are you that stupid?

    Apparently so.

    It’s going to be a lot more than 800 years this time to rid Euroturdistan from the Muslim Menace.

    Gird up your Loins Losers!

    In reading or conversing about something (anything) the conveyance of information between the two separate parties is made possible by both sender and receiver of symbols to already possess agreement between the two of them on what the symbols mean.

    This is especially true in the case of books. To understand what the writers meant one must place themselves in the same position (mentally and cognitively) as the writer was in when they wrote it. This includes style of writing and the conventions and procedures of writing that were current at the time and to which the writer unconsciously (probably) subscribed.

    And of all books, the book to which this most applies is the Bible (widest circulation and readership of all books in all of human history). Among the conventions of the time was the one of SIGNALLING THE IMPORTANCE of a fact by describing it in metaphor. In other words, use of metaphor was a convention of Biblical period scribesmanship to signal that the information being conveyed was of significant spiritual importance. Use of metaphor meant that the information was about an IDEA, or a spiritual truth that would otherwise be difficult to describe with mere words.

    There were other notably odd conventions at that time as well, such as using unusually and unnecessarily specific numbers, quantities and lengths of time of numbers which seem superfluous or even nonsensical. There is a reason and it is not mean to be outright deceitful or misleading. It was used to reference other scripture, prophesies and laws which were considered to be relevant to the current event being reported upon. Read the book the same way it was written and meant to be understood at the time of its writing and you are a long way to understanding what it actually says.

    This is very upsetting to people who are all hung up on the symbols and out of touch with the non-material spiritual and cognitive concepts which those symbols were intended to convey. Advice: when confronted with the choice between letter of the law (or history) versus the non-material spirit or concept of the message, always go with the spiritual non-material take on meaning. And to do that you must read it in the frame of the mind who wrote it down for others to understand.
