    Bahrain clarification
    Assuming that the info is true it’s not Bahrain that is using HIMARS it’ s US.

    It is the US that Iran is trying to drive out of the ME and if the leaders in Bahrain are too weak to tell the US to leave then they along with the US assets will be destroyed……that is the message the folks in the ME leadership meeting tomorrow need to understand.

    Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the country’s defense policy remains unchanged and blamed the continued presence of U.S. bases in the region for instability, saying Iranian officials and the public are united on the issue.

    The IDF warns Israelis that it can no longer guarantee warning alerts in advance for missiles before the sirens sound — Haaretz reports.

    This comes as most of the radars detecting missiles have been destroyed or taken out of service due to strikes by Iran and its allied groups.

    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/hezbollah-vows-to-end-u-s-military-presence-in-region
    TEHRAN, Iran — The leader of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group vowed Sunday to end the U.S. military’s presence in the Middle East, saying U.S. bases, warships and soldiers were all fair targets following the recent U.S. killing of an Iranian general.

    Hassan Nasrallah said the U.S. military “will pay the price” for the U.S. drone strike that killed Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Iraq Friday. His comments further heightened tensions in a region already on high alert and bracing for Iranian retaliation.

    President Donald Trump has threatened to bomb 52 sites in Iran if it retaliates by attacking Americans. Iran vowed to take an even-greater step away from its unraveling nuclear deal with world powers as a response to Soleimani’s slaying.

    “The suicide attackers who forced the Americans to leave from our region in the past are still here and their numbers have increased,” Nasrallah said.

    It was not clear which suicide bombings Nasrallah was referring to. A 1983 attack on a U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killed 241 U.S. servicemen. President Ronald Reagan eventually withdrew all American forces from the country. Suicide bombings in Iraq in the 2000s also put pressure on the Americans to withdraw.

    Bad enough that the US hit the water plant.
    Now Israel hit a Tehran oil facility.
    Iran, Hezbollah, hit back and targeted the Haifa refinery.
    ————
    Hitting desalination plants is a dangerous for this Middle East region. This will depopulate the region and only benefit Israel. The only way to damage Israel permanently is to strike all of Israel water pumps and desal plants back.

    Finally small moves in markets as Oil moved up a little to 2022 levels.

    Dow from stunning nosebleed levels is now where we were in November.

    We’re. All. Gonna. Die.

    Gold, silver, bitcoin, nowhere. Flat from their rise-fall ahead of time.

    Okay, thinking: root principles, WHY am I of all people looking at markets? I say daily they are unhinged and not related to human happiness. I think it’s because as a predictive element, they remain very sound, so long as you don’t try to wring specific digits out of them. (Trend following). They are the aggregate of world saying “Does this enlarge human prosperity or does it hinder it?” The Market is saying this war is of no consequence, which is very odd, as obviously it should be on several levels. And you can call that “The Wisdom of Crowds” sure. But there’s something more important: “The Market” (or at this point) is made of not the people reacting, but of the hyper-wealthy people DIRECTING what happens in Iran. They are the same funds like Bessant, BlackRock, that call their Senator or Prime Minister on the phone and MAKE them act. It’s not one-way and the two are roughly equal in daily power, but that means the Market – those rich jokers – who have the top intel and know what Generals and Parliaments are really up to – are not alarmed and think things will work out shortly.

    You’re following the headlines of a bunch of liars, and people who in the fog of war have no idea what was hit or how hard. You have no idea what’s happening inside Iran nor what was happening inside it last year either. You’re reacting to known liars getting up in front of a podium and telling known lies, presuming it’s true and they believe anything they say, when they are not under oath and have no risk whatsoever. The Market isn’t like that. They have risk and have to ACT and take very specific actions that have consequences. They have “Or Else.”

    So that’s why what “The Market” says matters, not that the ridiculous price of 50k has any relation to bombs dropping somewhere, or indeed, even here in America. We all know bombs kill people and that’s bad. That’s taken as given. But letting events be set up to, eg Kill 30,000 Americans a year is ALSO bad. And if stopping it kills 10,000 that’s a GOOD thing. This is true in the Middle East or everywhere in the world as El Salvador proves: they were really mean, aggressive to a few bad men in the Cartels and gave the gang members big ouchies. Now crime is down 90% and humans can actually live there. BECAUSE they were mean, shot, and arrested everyone and treat them like the scum they are now in prison. It’s a one-and-done, that’s the Male way of acting. To set things up and let them fester, because it isn’t “Nice” to crack heads is the Feminine. But thousands more people die over many more decades than just taking your lumps.

    Is it one? Or the other? Sadly, we won’t know until after because the game board up to now is nothing but lies. For reasons that are so complex they beggar description, I believe they’re cleaning up and settling things, and the markets agree. To come to this has taken 25 years of watching and asking. But many here disagree and could easily be right.

    Can tell what Bondi is up to now that they managed to make her release. They needed what Trump Docs there are to be released right before the midterms. This was cut off by an important few months. Also withholding them is a black eye going up TO the release. When you got nothin’ – just lie.

    Anyway, yeah Bondi, proves she’s an AntiTrump villain, trying to thread the needle and not get fired. And we mostly all knew that before she even sat down.

    “DOJ releases missing Epstein files related to a woman who made an allegation against Trump ” — NBC News

    OMG, that’s actually a factual and accurate headline. Congrats. First in 25 years.

    Nazi Central Bank Blackrock on the ropes. Halts withdrawals.

    “Germany Is Now Officially A Planned Economy” – Mises Is Now?

    ….This has worked everywhere it’s tried. Also note: “This Time It’s Different”. We have computers and we all know they never screw up.

    “Former CIA agent John Kiriakou says there is a 100% CHANCE that the Kurds INVADE IRAN”

    So that’ll be false then. CIA = Lie. Always and everywhere, but WHAT lie? The Kurds are not going to rule Iran. Wtf does this stuff come from? Since it’s MacGregor, etc, I assume it’s garbage, planted talking points, inflammatory and irrelevant.

    Same with shipping rates. Yes, that’s bad and has effects but when you do the math on these you often find your GI Joe Kung Fu grip with higher shipping will cost $1 more. (as we found in tariffs first in math, later in lived experience) 6X in shipping is a WIN, that’s basically saying everything’s awesome, no problem, and markets agree with me. He’s presenting it as a loss, cuz: ‘Merica. Wez Must Hates it forever and ever. I’d have to do all the math though and it’s not worth it.

    He’s not talking about, IF we open Iran as a “Normal country” for the next 40 years gas and oil will be $35/bbl. All things must be bad. There is no good. This is the Feminine: never sacrifice anything today for a better tomorrow. Always let all problems fester because addressing them might hurt someone’s feelings.

    “Anthropic” : The jokers haven’t the faintest idea what “Consciousness” even IS. Since I have no idea what Maǧáksiča is, Claude might be one. Who knows??? So the headline here is “Owners of Claude don’t know Anything!” News at 11. I don’t know things all the time, and I don’t get headlines for it. How easy it must be.
    Maǧáksiča means “Duck” by the way. If Claude quacks like a Maǧáksiča, it may be a Maǧáksiča. If you use language, words have to have meanings. This is totally forgotten by everyone.

    “Claude estimated a 15–20% chance it’s sentient”

    These guys are mental and need to be put in a group home for retarded persons before they hurt someone. They don’t know what a Duck is, so they asked Claude who knows less than they do? And Claude said, “Sure! Totes, Whatever!”

    “GOLD JUST OVERTOOK U.S. TREASURIES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS”

    We’re on a world gold standard or very near. That standard severely limits the Financial extraction and tips profits back to people who actually WORK for a living. It’s also the BRIICSS standard.

    So we are re-creating an Empire which never stopped by moving to a standard that cuts and limits Empire, enriching our foes. Riiight.

    “Cubans who live in the United States will be able to go back to their country, but given the current conditions, I can’t imagine a lot of people are super eager. On Wednesday, over two-thirds of the island suffered an extended blackout.”

    Why? That’s the same as Berlin. Western Carolina may still be missing and dark I don’t know because no one cares if the are. Certainly Puerto Rico was dark for months and that was for no reason at all. These are just old assumptions, haven’t been true in a generation (ie since 2000, 25 years) “America is the wealthiest, most powerful nation!!!” …How old are you, 90? No one says that. That hasn’t been true for kids who are now grandparents.

    Speaking of, we talk about the Iranian Mullahs and how people do a happy dance they’ve been removed. Okay, sure. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Iran’s last polling numbers were higher than Congress, and far, FAR higher than Starmer’s Labour in UK. They’re like at 7% or something. Again, “We just say s—t”. Not thinking or comparing. Just react according to script like an NPC.

    Same sense: is Cuba poor organically, or because the U.S. relentlessly grinds them? Probably both. So we look down our nose at the collapse and poverty we (helped) caused. However: … looking at their own allies, you see every year it was more of one and less of the other. Right now even their friends think Cuba is unhinged and that’s not new at all but a long progression. I might have heard the slavery of them selling their doctors to the world 20 years ago.

    “• Strange – CNN Found a War to Cover Again (CTH)

    Something more to this: they covered it non-stop until Ukraine started losing. Then it was in the news as they popped up a narrative. And then, as always losing, all the time, Russia winning everything without break: no coverage at all. There are 20 things to examine here, but the top is: “It’s not news at all.” Not even 1%. Because News is “Thing Happened.” They won’t report even at that level if “The Narrative” is more important. They do it so much it becomes invisible and they don’t even realize. Eventually there is no “Reality” at all anymore, only “The Narrative”. Then you’re ready to be hired at CNN by editors directed by billionaires.

    TL;DR: There is no “Reality” at all, for any of them. To them it isn’t to be spun or warped; it doesn’t even exist.

    “• Trump’s Favorability With His Voting Base Tops All Previous Presidents (JTN)

    I feel this is under. So many small things are hurting him and the war is just another. Maybe CNN finally got a clue if they say this, ppl won’t get out to vote, feeling confident. The Left will obey any herd, regardless of what cliff they jump off, but the Right is the opposite. Saying “All the kids are doing it” doesn’t work for them. So if you say “Trump will win” they will do the efficient, practical thing and work late on voting night instead. You only get Republicans out if they can oppose and rebel against something.

    “• The Sinking Ship Problem of the Epstein Coalition (Helmer)

    That’s a neat theory but I can’t see how that’s true. No major fact, but the orientation of every small fact doesn’t lead there. He says it because it allows him to HATE.

    …And so with the “Epstein Coalition”, snappy and awesome, and said by the very same people who are actually on the Epstein list, AGAINST the people like Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and Rubio, who apparently are NOT on the list. So: explain? The explanation is “I Just Made S—t Up”. It made Helmer’s Fee-Fees so he said it as emotionally gratifying to him. He has no engagement or reflection on whether any of this is true or not.

    “What do I WANT the end state to look like?” he emotionally says. Then he adjusts all the facts to point there.

    So according to Helmer, Iran just LIKES to be bombed, and everybody killed 4 layers down, all their boats sunk, and land no punches back, merely because they like to demonstrate how tough and superior they are. That is Losing = Winning. The more warships are sunk, the more powerful they appear and feel. THAT is why they don’t ask Russia for weapons. Excuse me going: “Huh? Da fuq????”

    The Russian comment is peculiar, but THAT cannot be the reason for it.

    He starts from the End State: What is good for LONDON? What HATES America da most?

    ““If you are feeling dumb today, just remember, there are real people who believe Iran is winning.” —Cam Higby on “X”

    Meh. They might be. I dunno. Top people who’ve been right a lot like Burlingame are elated and can’t believe how well it’s going. I shrug. Others say Iran is unscathed and is presently occupying as far as Western Tennessee, and most of them are commenters here. More than a billion American soldiers have been killed. Hmmm…Probably not.

    The pivot is, can Iran just drag the war out and not lose, inflicting eternal pain – on apparently all their closest friends and neighbors??? — while selling no oil as their own straits are closed. I suspect not. And if they were, they’d grab all the Russian weapons they could lay hands on.

    Let’s go with that. Let’s assume – face value – Iran has NOT asked for weapons, which is f-ing incomprehensible, at any time, for any nation. Much LESS during a war. Russians may not offer, but they also don’t lie, so we can rough-assume this is the case.

    Iran won’t ask Russia. And they’re being hammered so that we’re using dirigibles to bomb them. WHY???

    Iran is therefore not an ALLY of Russia, are they? You CALL on your ALLIES. That’s what “Ally” is. WTF.

    WHO, the ever-loving heck, in Iran, would NOT call on their ALLY, instantly and often? Hell, I’d ask Russia to nuke Washington, and just figure they’ll say no. Why not?

    Wait: if IRAN is no ally of Russia…who the heck ARE they allies with? Getting direction from?

    WHY?

    Because if they ASK Russia for arms, Russia will say “Yes” and here are the terms. And the terms won’t be bad at all! We know that for 100 years. Very average, placid, normal terms. However, Russia still is the piper, and the gold sets the tune.

    So whoever is in Iran WOULD RATHER DIE THAN GIVE RUSSIA ANY INFLUENCE over them, however small. Russia would give weapons and then say “Yeah, and um, could you X, and Y, and also we like Leader Z?

    And who would THAT be? Yes, you already know: The internal of Iran is the IRGC, and it is run by LONDON. They would rather all of Iran collapse than help Russia at all, or give Russia the slightest influence there.

    Which is what’s going to happen. I would have taken Russian influence, let Russia direct the new leader, split the middle of compromise and keep influencing. But whoever is running Iran WON’T. They want Iran to COLLAPSE, burn notice. Instead.

    London is liquidating, suicide-bombing, this Intel asset. Just as they did Israel last year. 10/7 They lifted the Semite ban, and “Lo! I miracle happened” and on a random Tuesday suddenly we could criticize Jews again. Boom. Overnight. Fuentes is headlined, overnight. The Left hates this major core of heir own Party, overnight. Burn notice. London has flipped and is sacrificing, immolating this asset, lighting their own ship on fire and sailing it into the enemy lines. Just like every 100 years since Europe in 1200AD. Kill da Joooos!!!

    Same here with Iran. “NO, you may not save yourself with Russian weapons. Fall on your sword.”

    And for WHO? For the ACTUAL “Epstein Coalition” in London. Go watch “Johnny Rotten” of Sex Pistols and PIL back in I dunno, 1990 when he interview live on air outed Jimmy Saville as a serial molester. …You know the Saville who has all those pictures taken with Keir Starmer as a child. There are 1,000 of these, many in the BBC are known, proven molesters and still work there TODAY. Maybe THAT, is your “Epstein Coalition”? Maybe? Instead they throw darts at someone who for 10 years doesn’t stick.

    This is all rather than ask for some moldy kalishikovs from Moscow. Because Moscow might suggest you promote the 3rd Minister instead of the 4th. That’s not “Iran”. That makes no sense.

    Keep an eye on Russia. Ignore the western media narratives and look for direct source information on Russian oil activity. Let them work and just keep watching.”

    EXACTLY. Russia DID NOT WARN Iran. Nor did China. Why. Are Russia and China totally blind when China has their home secretary sitting in Pelosi’s office and Fang-Fang sleeping in Swalwells’ bed? Yeah, no. But they CHOSE not to tell Iran. And now no Russian weapons are arriving there.

    “No Deal but Unconditional Surrender”

    Yes, but bc these dips—ts won’t tell the truth, it’s all double-coded. WHO is surrendering? It’s said Trump went to Davos and handed them terms of surrender. (This is similar to the King, and years before the Queen when he visited to voice his – America First’s – intent. She immediately repositioned UK and flopped Harry to America) Davos of course, refused to surrender. So Trump had been holding the Epstein files as his personal blackmail, then made all that Blackmail USELESS, by making it public. It’s not leverage for votes in Congress if the bomb already went off.

    Followed by SILVER, followed by Caracas, gutting their Drug money laundering, followed by Iran, same thing.

    WHO is surrendering? The Globalists we call London. They are the ones running the IRGC like they used to run (or still do run) our CIA – a child of the OSS, London, and always has been, since before Dulles.

    He’s not ordering Iran to surrender, he’s ordering LONDON. As he nukes their shipping profits. EMB points out this is critical. It looks tiny, meaningless, but isn’t. Lloyd’s is the center of the universe because if they issue Insurance they can withhold it. That’s why there aren’t 100 companies worldwide with “Competition”. Lloyd’s permit or deny EVERY SHIP worldwide from sailing. Every commodity is controlled by them, every nation. Every company. And they also get to SEE, for real fact, every ounce of coal worldwide and to whom. And control the profits at every port. And use the knowledge to make trouble, rebellions, smuggling, or insider trade, stocks, currencies, bonds. All from this ONE nexus.

    If LONDON surrenders, we can stop bombing their proxy-minions in the IRGC. See what I mean? Iran is merely an enforcer. It ain’t the Don, it’s not the Brains.

    “• Virginia Dems Move to Require Teaching Jan. 6th as an Insurrection (Turley)

    That’s good, it’s just an example of what the world would look like if you let these abusive, unhinged Karens run it. So there is no possible surrender for us. There is no level of abuse, oppression, and degredation could satisfy them. Not even the smallest thing, like what stories we tell.

    Speaking of judges, Thune of course is the biggest traitor since McConnell, still there in a wheelchair like the Emperor. We are having non-stop judicial trouble with EVERYTHING. And this judge Boasberg is CONSTANTLY running the U.S. Military, being the President, defying the Supreme Court, DAILY. Why?

    CONGRESS RUNS THIS JUDGE. They can remove him in a few hours if they want to. D.C. you have to understand is a fiefdom of Congress, not a state. Congress “Just votes” and the mayor is out, or there are National Guard peacekeeping J6, or whatever they feel like. That D.C. is the foremost s—thole in the whole United States is and can only be because they WANT it to be. They WANT all those black people being shot, enthusiastically, with vigor.

    So like HALF of the headline cases we’ve been reading of rogue judges are from D.C. which Republican Congress could have pushed – or at this point impeached 20 times. Back in Jan 2025. NONE of this needed to happen. It’s CONGRESS, Republican Congress, stopping Trump, same as they refuse all appointments and 90 criminal prosecutors.

    Some are in fact easy: Thune could just “Call a recess” and Trump can make temporary, recess appointments by the end of the day. REPUBLICANS won’t. Because Uniparty.

    So just putting the point on that I’m forced to say daily as everyone asks like Trump is a Dictator and “just sez” then everyone obeys him. He can’t issue orders “Because Congress”. He can’t prosecute “Because Congress.”

    “James Woods ‘Done’ With Republican Party Over ‘Uniparty Traitors’

    Yup.

    Following Iran: “Iran calls for Truce, IRGC keeps bombing” — Sorry I had but then lost this article. Sure it was ZeroHedge. But: Exactly. They are reporting it over and over, but people don’t grasp the significance.

    ALSO significance: Brent and WTI prices unite. At near $100 so finally the prices are somewhere. Not dangerous, but far upper band. Okay, and?

    And, if you didn’t know, BRENT is London oil, from North Seas. Except….there is no oil. There’s no North, there’s no oil, there’s no delivery. It’s a nothing contract. It sets prices with no delivery, ‘coz like London Gold fix, London “Just sez.” They “Just Say” the price, with no nothin’. They “Make it up”.

    So what happened to the no nothin’ contract? It’s no longer setting price, is it? London can’t artificially keep low prices for themselves, front run, etc.

    Anyway, So ANOTHER front on London. That’s what, FIVE open fronts, simultaneous on them? In addition to SOFR and all the long-term ones?

    Help is coming for Israel

    France has redirected its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle (previously in the Baltic) with its Rafale jets and escorts to ensure air superiority and missile defense. Spain has deployed its most advanced frigate, the Cristóbal Colón (Álvaro de Bazán class), integrated into the French carrier group. The Netherlands is contributing the frigate HNLMS Evertsen to the European naval task force, while Italy is providing SAMP/T air-defense systems and naval assets. The United Kingdom has sent the destroyer HMS Dragon, Typhoon fighters, and Wildcat helicopters; Greece is bolstering its presence with frigates and F-16s around the island. These coordinated moves—through EU mechanisms and European bases—support the United States defensively without direct offensive involvement in the war, while safeguarding maritime routes and preparing for potential civilian evacuations.

    Kurds:

    The CIA keeps saying the Iraqi kurds are going to attack Iran, … anytime now.
    If the CIA said it, you know it is a lie.

    The MSM however, are not reporting what the Iraqi Kurd leadership are saying.
    The Iraqi Kurds are tired of being used by the CIA and have publically said so.

    So they are refusing to get involved in attacking Iran.

    Iran warned on Friday it would target facilities in Iraqi Kurdistan if fighters crossed into its territory.

    “This isn’t my war,” said 58-year-old Barsirini.

    He recalled the brutal repression and flight into the snowy mountains after the 1991 Kurdish uprising that followed the first Gulf War.

    The uprising was repressed, leading to an exodus of two million Kurds to Iran and Turkey.

    “When we fled the cities for our lives, we went to Iran. They helped us, they gave us shelter and food,” he said.

    The Kurds would not forget that, Barsirini stressed, adding that they could not just “turn against them” now to support the US and Israel.

    “I don’t trust (Americans). They are dangerous people,” he said.

    Thanks Doc!

    The other thing is it was the Iranian Kurds who gave the Iraqi Kurds help.

    So for Iraqi Kurds to attack Iranian Kurds makes zero sense!

    But the CIA needs to lie!
    If they don5 lie, they will shrivel up and die!

    Hey, that’s poetry!

    Is this wishful thinking

    — Russian intelligence data confirms: Israel has lost access to the Dimona nuclear facility and is suffering huge losses of 11 nuclear scientists, 6 IDF generals, 198 air force officers, 462 soldiers, and 32 Mossad agents in the first three days…
