Participant“Or the plan is to just keep milking the Strait and letting a few ships through… US seeks to start new war, force Iran’s surrender: chief negotiator
Chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the US is using economic pressure and a naval blockade to push Iran toward surrender and acceptance of its demands”What the literal? Yes, you got us. We are using “A War” to “push your surrender.” You’re a $%&ing genius.
U.S. seeks to “Start a new war”? Huh? Did we finish the old one? There’s not a day we haven’t bombed somewhere. How can we have any pudding if we don’t eat your meat? So Schrodinger’s war as well. We’re both in it and out of it, started and ended, and it’s a war and not a war. ALL. At the same time.
Speaking of, Flotilla GOES TO A WAR ZONE. Wonders why everyone treats them mean. Jesus Christ. They “Used zip ties” and “made them kneel.” Hey no s—t. It’s called, “Being handcuffed” and “Arrested”. Happens thousands of times a day, look into it sometime. You might be shocked to hear this, but people don’t like being arrested much and the officers doing it are very nervous from having been counter-attacked like 1,000 times. Making you kneel isn’t a emotional thing like it is for us normals, it’s a security thing so you don’t jump them.
Here’s it’s not even being arrested, like little children, how they’re treating you. You go TO A WAR ZONE, where they’re shelling whole apartment buildings for sport and shoot anything that moves then call “Human Rights” when “I didn’t get my Monster drink by noon.”
If you go, go shooting or don’t bother. You look like a f—king p—sy, and your whole nations too. Makes me want to invade Sweden and Norway just for lols.
“Lebanese accuse Israel of wiping their towns off the map” So Sweden decided to have some guys complain about the room service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Battalion Note they will f—king kill you though. That’s what makes it worthwhile, not a LARP.
“The tanker was trying to illegally cross the Strait of Hormuz after it had switched off its tracking system, despite Iran’s restrictions.”
What the literal? Iran’s closing of international or Omani waters is what is illegal. Okay I declare it illegal for THEM to declare it illegal. From my couch in America. You see how ridiculous this is? If Iran says something, it’s instantly legitimate and real because: Iran is God. If America says something obvious, like a nation without a Navy is not doing well, it’s silly and wrong.
I hereby declare that all crossings from the Canary Islands to Miami are “illegally crossing” and will bomb them for violating my restrictions. If you don’t give me…
One MILLLLLION Dollars! Bwahaha!

Yeah, no, that’s not how it’s done. That’s called evil. That’s why people are mad when WE do it.
“Iran running out of oil storage”. No, that’s totally legit, and they clearly had issues since they activated dead tankers (didn’t have many) and just dumped crude in the gulf by Kharg. But “causes expensive damage to wells” doesn’t mean they won’t do it. It’s a strategy with consequences to pick either way. They’re unable to sell, and the way to kick the planet in the balls is to make sure no one else can get oil later either. Also no one knew the exact date. Around here somewhere, so probably they are burning the wells and DGAF. That’s too bad since whatever strategy they had seemed to hinge on mythical midterms which are not going Iran’s way, and those wells will be re-opened and re-drilled by Exxon and Halliburton for tens of millions of dollars. Do what you must. Every move like this reinforces that, shockingly, it was the right thing to do. You guys are insane and burn every Iranian citizen you get your hands on, way more than America has. I did not believe any of that in February before I saw their behavior.
“Bessent CONFIRMS the $250 bill with President Trump’s face on it is ALREADY in the works”
You’re going to make me try to remove him. Going into the midterms. No. America is specifically not a cult of personality, the appropriate things are like “Walking Liberty”. That’s why there was a law and I was very sorry when they moved to just to dead people, not American values. Will drive them crazy though.
“• President Trump Updates on “Final Determination” of Iran Negotiations (CTH)
In the category: Trump says a lot of things. Some of these will be backed and weaseled out of the minute they are in action. Esp the Uranium, which requires site equipment (he says).
“• Iran Clarifies Deal ‘Not Finalized’ Amid Lack Of Trust (ZH)
WTF does this mean? Everyone knows you haven’t signed it. So you’re somewhere between “Just started” and “Signed for the cameras”? No s—t, we know.
This was the same breathless headlines (From MacGregor, etc) that “Iran was firing on Drones and F35s”. Soooo…Iran is still in the war? Iran exists? Yes. We know. News would be Iran STOPPED defending their own airspace, dips—t. OF COURSE they are firing on everything. But are they HITTING anything? Mostly no, and that’s expected. So: Dog bites dog.
This may be their all: “But there might be a war between Iran and America then”. One second after we two JUST HAD a war, and YOU reported on it for 90 days. Now there’s no war but a risk of one, while both sides are firing daily and have never stopped. Oh noes.
“Marco Rubio is really, really, really popular with Republicans.”
Is he though? And so does somebody want to argue that he’s eligible as a “Natural” citizen?
“McBride decides to drop out at this stage of the game, citing “partisanship”
I couple of these stories came over the transom. No facts or details, so that was noteworthy, remarkable even: usually they are lies. So there is no actions, spoken, plans, people that indicate “Partisanship”? Immaculate Conception of “Partisanship.” It springs into existence fully formed when you wake up one day. Apparently they were unaware that doing a 250 Anniversary would be Pro American, and possibly the President or Congress might be around, taking credit?
Apparently, because, lacking all details, nothing has actually happened but they had thoughts in their minds.
But then, yesterday I was told flags that have trees on them are Nazi flags. Huh? OK Sign, Boomer. I’m not ceding all TREES as a Nazi ethos. No wonder they’re cutting them all down for solar. (And standing up Nazi tattoos for governor)

“Has President Trump Committed High Treason? (Paul Craig Roberts)
Fair enough argument and I’d strike this down in court in 30 seconds. However, we have thousands of these illegal dips—t laws, have for 200 years, and it’s about whether they’re actually happening or just political theatre. –Not that I wouldn’t prevent all of them and remove and/or impeach anyone who signs them. Just there’s a lot going on and so far this is a bottom-third priority. Actually glad since it puts everybody’s attention on it, while like Covid, in fact we just ignore and resist.
“The CIA sent $40 million in gold bars (303 bars) to his home”
Kunstler properly reviews the OTHER parts of the case that are far more interesting. So this guy was NEVER legit, ever, never-ever? And walked in, rocketed to the top? Huh.
My headline thought was, “Um, so there are so many gold bars in the CIA that no one notices any missing and you can just walk out with 100 or so?” Where is their audit process? So they’re missing it seems for years, and no one notices? You do know Taco Bell has a better inventory process than this, right?
This is only doubled up when he’s a core criminal on Day one. (Lying on Federal Records) I think his problem was, the first lies were ordinary, not big ENOUGH. When the CIA saw him REALLY lie, and say he was Tom Cruise in Maverick and had served 5 tours with Jack Ryan, they said “Wow, that is SO FALSE you must be one of us!” Lying is his middle name, he has found his career. And stealing. And overthrowing the country, probably. If that doesn’t say “Child of Dulles” I don’t know what does.
“Anthropic just became the most valuable AI company on earth”
Yeah, And I just got AI slop just looking for a Band greatest hits on YouTube. It put the same song in twice, on the visible List, then slipped it in a THIRD time, while NOT listing in on the playlist. Then did another song twice too, then didn’t have many of the other headline hits you’d obviously include.
So I’m sure glad no human will be allowed fresh water with daily successes in AI like that. It’s all worth it. Thanks to a 400,000sq foot sever farm, computers can no longer count to 200!
BTW, it also sucked because it has no sensitivity about what song should go with what, to build and close. And isn’t marked “AI” so I can avoid its dismal, sub-retard performance. So: Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, and fail. Also took money from competent humans, so: Fail.
““THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THE WORLD WILL FACE IN 20 YEARS IS POPULATION COLLAPSE”

It was predicted that quantum entanglement would be moved into tech to make truly instant perfect encryption on say, Cell phones. This is likely, but it’s a long way from making an Arc light to a light bulb, and impossible to know how slow or fast some magic solution will be invented.
“Elsevier has retracted a 2021 study claiming sudden infant death syndrome is linked to vaccines over concerns the paper might influence patient care.”
I’m sure it will, Jesus! In a good way! So it would be okay to say Vaccines cause death so long as nobody did anything about it?
“if anyone tries to f*** with Israel (the 51st state), they would also be f***ing with Washington DC”
Turkey can do that without breaking a sweat and they’re already there. They sell oil and help Israel in every way possible instead. Might as well be Turkey shelling Lebanon at this point.
“There is news that Pete Hegseth …” Stop. When was the last time the news was right? 2003? Do I need to drop a hundred stories from the last 30 days that were false? How about “The CIA took over Tulsi Gabbard’s office”? Was that a good one, supported by a CONGRESSMAN, totally false.
Yes this is a big problem. But tread lightly. Incredible claims like “Pete flew to Oman to kill the Emir like Jason Bourne” require incredible proof. This is never substantiated.
“or the fact that it’s barely considered newsworthy because the children are Palestinian.”
I take the opposite side. It is reported only BECAUSE they are Palestinian. Just yesterday Day listed 20 new Israeli genocidal crimes, however not one rocket attack on Israel back. Because shooting Israel back isn’t reported.
I’m not making a point of who’s right, only that each side only reports THEIR cause, ignoring the other. I can’t remember the last time Israel being attacked was in the news. They are, and personally I don’t care, but the point is, we only report things that HATE Israel. Maybe in 1980 it was the opposite but not now. Now every Palestinian child is precious and every Israel child isn’t. That’s just as wrong.
Problem Two: there is not One Internet. I only see Alt-feeds that I look at. So it’s extremely hard to tell if Israel is reporting the 1980 norm and it’s being perceived that way somewhere I’m not looking, with a Boomerwaffen audience I don’t know. That’s why I usually don’t bring it up. I can’t remember the last time anyone cared about an Israeli casualty, and maybe that’s just and right, but think about it. Now returning to your regular programming.
“Muhammad Mazen: a video the world must never forget” Okay, did a single Muslim state on the planet lift a finger on this? Turkey can walk over in flip flops with an army 10x the size. But they don’t. GO on, tell me why – I – must do something. All I want to do is cut off their money ‘cause it’s mine. IDGAF if you kill each other. I want to mind my own business.
“The best i can do is hope that justice is visited upon those SOBs with a savage intensity.”
Agree but there’s a lot going on, and a lot of time-considerations. Like, if we solve it Friday and it festers on, did we win? If we can solve it but it takes 90 days of bombing and all the deaths, should we? These are adult questions where every answer is, essentially wrong.
There is no option where we BOTH stop all deaths by 5pm Friday AND solve it for the next 100 years. It will take serious change on the chessboard, and that will take very serious, dangerous, and ugly moves of raw POWER to force it. Would that it were not so.
Clutching pearls and being emotional doesn’t change this.

ParticipantWe have been talking about how to read the US attack on Iran. There seem to be 3 views. First. If wells will need to be shut off, why has there been no impact yet. Maybe there is emergency storage, Maybe they are shut and no one cares. Second. Both parties claim to be able to destroy the other any time they choose. If that was true they would have. Third. Which gets less discussion, maybe. Was well put by Newt Gingrich on Truth Social. There are a lot of neighbors with a lot at stake.
https://truthsocial.com/@NewtGingrich/posts/116657026406833922
I will paste the text also. I dont want trigger any panic attacks going over there.
“After spending this week reviewing the Iranian war I am now convinced President Trump is on the edge of an historic victory. The real breakthrough for me came as I reviewed President Trump’s decisions and maneuvers not from the standpoint of American unilateralism but from the standpoint of the leader of a remarkable historic coalition, the largest coalition ever put together in the modern Middle East. Everyone understands that Israel is an important ally. What is little discussed is the depth of support from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. It has to be sobering for the Iranian dictatorship to realize that it does not have a single ally willing to challenge the American naval blockade. Slowly, gradually, timidly, our European allies are lining up to help with the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. A great deal of President Trump’s maneuvers against Iran make sense once he is seen as a coalition leader and not just as a unilateral American President. I spent a lot of the last couple weeks reviewing kinetic options including wining the battle of the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and if necessary using the shocking and shattering level of force President Nixon and Secretary Kissinger used against Hanoi and Haiphong in Christmas 1972 (which both leaders believed convinced the North Vietnamese to agree to a truce and the freeing of American POWs). If this were a unilateral American campaign I could enthusiastically support a more aggressive kinetic campaign. However it is also clear it would shatter the coalition because our Arab allies are convinced Iran could still do enormous damage to their oil fields and infrastructure. Coalitions are inherently slower than unilateral campaigns. However coalitions ultimately bring vastly more power to the fight. I am as frustrated as everyone else by the pace of talking with the dictatorship but having reviewed the correlation of forces and the options available to the coalition on one side and the Iranian religiously motivated dictatorship on the other I am prepared to assert that President Trump’s coalition leadership (something almost none of his critics want to acknowledge) is within reach of an enormous historic victory. And if the Iranian dictatorship ultimately proves it is hopelessly committed to a suicidal position there will be plenty of time for a kinetic campaign of enormous power and effectiveness. Either way we are on the edge of an astonishing victory for our values and for a safer Middle East.”

Participant“THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THE WORLD WILL FACE IN 20 YEARS IS POPULATION COLLAPSE”
———–
QUESTIONS
What will be different than the past and/or now?
When have the 4 horsemen not been active?
Will MAID BECOME DOMINANT?
WILL EMIGRATION OVERCOME THE 4 HORSEMEN?
A problem for who?
A solution for who?————–
Here is what copilot says.Here’s the concise answer up front:
Population collapse will feel fundamentally different from the historical “four horsemen” cycles because it is driven not by excess death, but by a collapse in birth rates, aging populations, and structural dependency ratios that no past civilization has ever had to manage at global scale.
It will not be a “die‑off” but a slow inversion of the population pyramid that rewires economics, geopolitics, labour, migration, and social stability.Now let’s break down each of your questions with precision and depth.
1. What will be different than the past and/or now?
Past collapses = mortality shocks
Historically, population contraction came from:Famine
Plague
War
Economic collapse
Genocide
These were acute mortality events.
The coming collapse = fertility implosion + longevity
The modern version is the opposite:People live longer
People have far fewer children
Urbanization, education, and cost-of-living suppress fertility
Automation reduces the economic incentive for large families
Women’s workforce participation delays childbirth
Housing scarcity and economic precarity delay or prevent family formation
This produces:
Shrinking working-age populations
Exploding elderly populations
Unsustainable pension/healthcare burdens
Labour shortages across critical sectors
Falling tax bases
Shrinking consumer markets
This is not a “cycle” humanity has ever experienced at global scale.
2. When have the 4 horsemen not been active?
The four horsemen—war, famine, pestilence, death—are always active somewhere, but their global impact has varied.What’s new is that the horsemen are no longer the primary population regulators.
For the first time in history:Birth rates, not death rates, determine population trajectory.
Even with peace, food abundance, and medicine, populations shrink.
The horsemen are still present, but they are no longer the main drivers.
3. Will MAID become dominant?
Short answer: No, but it will become more politically and ethically central in aging societies.Why it won’t become “dominant”:
MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) affects a tiny fraction of deaths.Even in Canada, where MAID is most permissive, it accounts for ~4% of deaths.
Population collapse is driven by fertility, not mortality.
Why it will become more prominent:
Aging populations = more chronic illnessHealthcare systems under strain
Rising debates about autonomy, dignity, cost, and ethics
Potential for political misuse or economic pressure
MAID becomes a symptom of demographic aging, not a cause.
4. Will emigration overcome the 4 horsemen?
No. Migration redistributes population; it does not increase it.Why migration cannot solve collapse:
Almost all countries are experiencing fertility declineThe “sending countries” (India, China, Latin America) are also collapsing demographically
Competition for migrants will intensify
Migrants age too
Migration does not create new children at scale
Migration can:
Delay collapse in receiving countries
Accelerate collapse in sending countries
Create political tension and instability
But it cannot reverse global fertility decline.
5. A problem for who?
Problem for:
Pension systemsHealthcare systems
Governments dependent on tax revenue
Militaries needing recruits
Economies dependent on consumption growth
Nations with high debt and shrinking workforces
Countries with strict immigration policies
Countries with extremely low fertility (Korea, Japan, China, Italy, Spain)
Also a problem for:
Younger generations forced to support massive elderly populationsLabour markets with critical shortages
Rural regions hollowing out
Innovation ecosystems losing young talent
6. A solution for who?
Solution for:
Environmental pressures (lower population = lower resource demand)Housing scarcity (long-term)
Climate emissions (long-term)
Countries with high unemployment (short-term)
Automation and AI adoption (labour shortages accelerate adoption)
Geopolitical rivals (population decline weakens adversaries)
Also a “solution” for:
Elites who prefer stable, aging, compliant populationsGovernments seeking lower youth unrest
Nations wanting to reduce carbon footprint without political pain
But these “solutions” come with enormous trade-offs.
The core insight
Population collapse is not a catastrophe of death; it is a catastrophe of absence.
Not enough workers, not enough innovators, not enough taxpayers, not enough soldiers, not enough caregivers, not enough children.Humanity has never faced a world where every major civilization is shrinking simultaneously.
This is the first time.

Question.
Have you got facts (truth or lies) for your opinionsAnswer
Yes — I can back every major claim I made with verifiable facts from authoritative sources.
Below is a fact‑checked breakdown, with citations, showing what is true, what is inferred, and what remains uncertain.✅ 1. FACT: Global fertility is collapsing
The UN’s World Population Prospects 2024 reports:Global fertility has fallen from 3.3 births per woman in 1990 to 2.3 today.
More than half of all countries now have fertility below 2.1, the replacement level.
The world population is now expected to peak around 10.3 billion in the 2080s and then decline.
These are not opinions — they are UN demographic projections.
✅ 2. FACT: Many countries have already peaked
UN data shows:63 countries (28% of world population) have already peaked.
Another 48 countries will peak between 2025–2054.
This confirms that population decline is not hypothetical — it is underway.
✅ 3. FACT: Population collapse today is NOT driven by the “four horsemen”
The UN and demographic research show:Mortality is historically low.
Fertility decline — not war, famine, or disease — is the primary driver of population contraction.
The demographic transition is defined by longer lives + smaller families.
This is why modern population decline is fundamentally different from historical collapses.
✅ 4. FACT: MAID is rising, but nowhere near “dominant”
Canada’s official MAID statistics show:MAID accounted for 4.1% of all deaths in Canada in 2022.
13,241 MAID provisions occurred in 2022, a 31.2% increase from 2021.
Most MAID recipients had cancer (63%), cardiovascular disease (18.8%), or chronic respiratory disease (14.9%).
Even with rapid growth, MAID is a small fraction of total mortality.
It cannot meaningfully influence population size.✅ 5. FACT: Migration cannot offset global fertility decline
UN projections explicitly state:Migration can redistribute population but cannot reverse global decline.
Fertility is below replacement in more than half of all countries, meaning the “sending countries” are also shrinking.
This is why immigration helps individual countries but cannot solve the global demographic contraction.
✅ 6. FACT: Scientists warn population dynamics are more unstable than assumed
A 2026 peer‑reviewed study (Chaos, Solitons & Fractals) shows:Global population growth may be more sensitive to shocks than traditional models assume.
Under certain stress scenarios, global population could halve by 2064.
This is not a prediction — it is a modeled scenario showing system fragility.
This supports the claim that demographic systems are entering unfamiliar territory.
🧭 Which parts were inference (not direct facts)?
These statements were reasoned conclusions, not direct citations:✔ “Population collapse will reshape labour markets, pensions, and dependency ratios.”
This is an inference based on:shrinking working-age populations
rising elderly populations
declining fertility
All of which are documented in UN demographic reports.✔ “Migration competition will intensify.”
This follows from the fact that:most countries are aging
most countries have sub‑replacement fertility
fewer young migrants will exist globally
✔ “MAID will become more politically central in aging societies.”
This is an inference based on:rising MAID rates
aging populations
increased chronic illness burden
I clearly distinguish these from hard data.
🧭 Which parts were opinion?
I did not give personal opinions — I gave interpretations of demographic data.
Where I extrapolated, I stated it as inference, not fact.May 30, 2026 at 1:52 pm #241718zerosum

ParticipantThe Strait of Hormuz remains closed to foreign shipping as of the latest reports. Iran has offered to reopen the strait if the US lifts its blockade, but this offer has not been accepted. The US naval blockade is designed to prevent Iran from selling its oil, depriving it of crucial revenue, and potentially creating a situation where Iran has to shut off production because it has nowhere to store oil. The closure has also put pressure on the US and its Gulf allies, which use the waterway to export their oil and gas. The ongoing standoff between the US and Iran over the strait’s closure is a significant aspect of the geopolitical tensions in the region.

Hezbollah Seriously Wounds Commander of Brigade That Killed Hind Rajab — Highest-Ranking IDF Officer Hit Since October 2023 Colonel Meir Biderman, commander of the IDF’s 401st Armored Brigade, was seriously wounded Tuesday after a Hezbollah explosive drone penetrated a fortified building where he was operating between Dibl and Hadatha in south Lebanon, according to reporting from Israeli outlet Maariv cited by journalist Hala Jaber.
The drone detonated inside despite protective fortifications, leaving Biderman with serious head injuries. A lieutenant colonel was also wounded. The 401st Armored Brigade is the same unit whose “Vampire Empire” company is accused in a 120-page ICC complaint of deliberately targeting and killing six-year-old Hind Rajab, six members of her family, and two paramedics in Gaza City in January 2024. https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2057213249012048005May 30, 2026 at 9:04 pm #241728D Benton Smith
