ParticipantGold DOWN $100. Really I think we’ve established $100 is it’s daily beta. So let’s call that a norm and not refer to it as pro war or anti war.
Almost certainly a flag breakout formation here, another big one. It seems hard to believe it’s that easy tho. It’s possible it will in a worldwide banking seize-up when Europe cracks.
Oil remains high, so now has full pass-through at $4.50 gas, I hear nationwide, This is being sustained and damages are racking up. Far less Trump discontentment with this than I would have expected, 1/3 as much (complaining is not voting either) but I wouldn’t call it positive. It’s just surprising. So we’re so polarized Trump can make record black jobs and the left shoots him, while he can hammer the poors with high prices and the Right doesn’t care? Probably. Because what are you going to do?
This mattered bc midterm bu although that seems a non-election, it still matters, Cheeto needs to refer to American support, of the wider people.
Mercouris a bizarre mix of reason and madness. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MZkXR2swEd0
It’s the usual, goes on, become moderate and measured, then throws in some curveball, generally of telepathically presuming motive. Like “Trump was convinced to get into this Iran attack” but also “Trump did this attack over all advice” but also “He is going to attack them again imminently out of boredom and frustration” since “Elections” and attack over the direct advice of the Pentagon.
Alex: YOU JUST SAID the Pentagon is full of Lindsay Grahams advising attack. BUT ALSO full of everyone advising NOT-Attacks. BUT ALSO Trump obeys anyone he talks to, BUT ALSO overrides all his advisors. BUT ALSO is worried about the elections when he isn’t up for election, can’t be removed and just re-wrote the electoral map.
Everything, nothing, Both, Neither, Aiiiii! For the love of Peter and all the Saints, PICK ONE. I am really losing my temper about the whole thing. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING UP. If you don’t know, that’s Fine! Most of us don’t! Don’t just MAKE UP EVERYTHING to fill in the blanks of what you don’t know, and especially not that all contradicts…yourself.
He’s also top dog in attacking Russia. Any recent hits from Ukraine, are DIRECTLY attributed to America, for no evidence whatsoever. AFTER burning a mountain of political capital to back out of that and kicking the pants off every. Single. Person. In. Europe. Folding up all bases in Germany ’cause he’s about to invade Belarus and take Moscow. JHC.
This goes with the Duran this morning where Alex C, who has CLEARLY lost his mind, saying “Europe thinks the only way to win the war with Russia” is… The U.S. is going to bomb the entire Kremin, kill every Russian leader 10 levels down like they did in Iran, and literally nothing will happen afterwards.
Uh, NO, Alex. No will NOT be doing that for ten-THOUSAND reasons, but top of which is 1) We already left and told you to stop, cutting off all money, weapons, and oil and 2) Russia would nuke the f—k out of every target on earth 10 minutes after. The first should be adequate, but the second is certain.
Nope, that’s Alex’s plan! The U.S. is the head of the war, we’re the only agent in it, and we’re going to decapitate the entire Kremlin to conquer Russia, and Russia will shrug. So: “Experts” now, what we’ve come to. Since Europe is entirely uninvolved, I wonder what the poor darlings will do, or if Alex also knows the date and time.
P.S. Venezuela, where one man was removed, keeping the entire government intact, taking out only Cuban radar and bodyguards, is EXACTLY THE SAME as Iran, where we’ve hit everything from coast to coast, and killed every IRGC we can find. Yes, killing essentially NO men, and hitting nothing, is exactly the same as hitting ALL men, and hitting EVERYTHING. Like you know, Arresting Nixon is the same as firebombing Dresden and leveling all Europe.
Well, since they’re identical, I give him the choice of which he would choose for himself. I highly suspect he might pick being arrested with possible no bad consequences whatsoever, but you never know: they are identical after all.
Not to forget: Mercouris said “The U.S. failed to achieve a single political or military objective”. Ah. I did not realize sinking a nation’s ENTIRE NAVY was not a “Military Objective”. We must read different military history books. I didn’t realize that Iran, unable to hit UAE with more than a single missile today is exactly the same as shooting 80 every 12 hours on 5 nations in the area every day at the beginning. Iran is not degraded in the slightest. That’s what “We only have ONE missile and SIX waterski boats left” (all of which were instantly sunk) means. Btw, 6 boats is no longer a “Swarm” it’s “Certain Suicide”, and was.
Having COMPLETE air dominance, where you lumber in C130s and B52s from 1954 across the whole nation is not “Completing a military objective”. Etc. So Alex, what WOULD be a, or indeed ANY military objective in that case?
This entire madness wholly eclipses his proper and appropriate point that “Iran has control of the straits”. …Which they don’t either — both sides are denied — but in the loosest, colloquial sense is completely correct and what we laymen usually mean by those terms. This is the “Political Objective” of Trump, maybe, almost certainly, and that fact too is important.
So why make everything up? Iran has won, so he’s already worked out the negotiations and surrender of the United States, and indeed the world, to Iran in this absolutely, rock-solid, certain case. Ah. A nation with no air force, no missiles, no Navy, no ships, is who the world is just about to surrender to. Yes.
First time in military and political history we surrender to the nation that has no army or means to get one. Totally logical.
“America May Stumble its Way Back into Full War w Iran /Lt Col Daniel Davis” Daniel Davis / Deep Dive•21K•23h ago
You can’t have a “Full war” when one side has no weapons at all, Dan. Iran also never attacked us. Did they hit a single thing? America is entirely, completely unhardened, unprotected. Not even a 7-11 shot up. So we could keep this up 10,000 years and take like 20 losses. On the flip side, they shot FOUR-THOUSAND objects at one warship alone and hit nothing. They may sink one eventually, but that is very VERY well protected.
Again, Iran’s “Swarm boats” are meant to do a certain thing and are effective. I’d think they’re dangerous AF but they depend on OVERWHELMING the defender. …That means the Defender shoots a number of attackers randomly. That is, the “Palestine Suicide Squad” like from Monty Python, I am NOT signing up that one of the boats, as 10% say, will definitely be killed with all men EVERY TIME. That’s “Decimated”. EVERY trip out. 10% of 10% of 10% of 10%….
Anyway, point yesterday was, we did tit, they wanted to show tat by harassing a boat to stay in the game. THEY HAD ONLY SIX. That’s not a “swarm” that means you’re going to sink EVERY ONE, and NONE “gets through” to make your point or even gets close. …Which is exactly what happened. We sent an Apache which killed them all in seconds as a turkey shoot.
They don’t manufacture speedboats and Yamaha engines. Clearly! or there would be more than six in a “Definite, no survivors” Kamikaze situation of “We’re not even going to bother giving you gas to come home.” This is not winning. This is losing, very, very, very badly, but not caring if every well-trained and heroic Iranian soldier is killed. Or every Iranian on earth. So to my mind the IRGC is genociding their own people, no surprise. Like Ze, they do this while having billions socked away in offshore banks and a dozen multi-million in mansions and estates. Def in London, but maybe Miami too, who knows? Party with Cheeto and Queer Stalin’s Ukrainian Rent Bois.
We daily cover that this is true in the EU, in the U.S. so why wouldn’t we cover that Iran is the same? So why would I cheer for a bunch of guys who are the very same criminals as our own? Why would I care which criminal wins? I can just keep score as a professional, I don’t care which team is on the field. I don’t have bets on.
“Putin Flees into Hiding! Coup attempt Underway! Local housewives panic! This changes everything!”
AI Putin, so there’s an AI image of it, it must be happening. Why post? Again, there is EVERY comment on the Internet somewhere. WHICH knows what they’re talking about?Actually we know less than ever as the very few remaining sane ones only just went entirely insane. Me too from having to comment on the others, so it seems.

ParticipantStrait of Hormuz Standoff Exposes Tehran’s Weakness (JTN)
The loser in wars of attrition (such as this one demonstrably is) always sees the adversary as weak. That false perception is the product of a lot of hard work by that adversary, both on the kinetic battlefield and in the hearts and minds of the losers, which the adversary carefully cultivates and nurtures so that the losers continue to think that they are just about to “turn things around” and stop losing.
This state of deliberately cultivated delusion continues until the aggressor (the loser) is bled dry to the point where its only recourse is to strike a deal with the “weak” winner.
The writer of the above quoted article is just a pathetic, but classic, example of those dynamics. They need to immediately do 4 things:
1) read Sun Tsu’s Art of War three times.
2) read Joel Chandler Harris’s Uncle Remus Stories, especially the one about the Tar Baby, which chronicles the strategy used by black African Slaves in their asymmetric war of attrition with the white slave holders in mid 19th century American South. Read it with the same humility and wisdom that created the stories created by slaves in their quest for freedom and respect.
3) Declare victory and sue for peace IMMEDIATELY, before you lose more stuff to that “weak” adversary who is continuing (quite successfully, I must add) to trick you into continuing to try to kidnap that “Tar Baby”.
4) Remove from any and all positions of authority those dim witted suckers whose greed, stupidity and profound corruption is being PLAYED to enter and remain the war of attrition that will bleed them absolutely dry if they don’t just quit it.May 6, 2026 at 1:12 pm #239988Dr. D
ParticipantToday:
Oh, forgot: No news on the minesweepers, so far as I know we’re not doing that in any serious way.
Second: Iraq is running into storage issues now as well. Fair’s fair.“BREAKING: THE GREAT RESET — America is DONE Being Europe’s ATM The United States is moving to withdraw up to 100,000 troops from Europe and halt trillions in endless defense spending that has subsidized NATO allies for decades.” Crystal clear.
This is why the U.S. is the only one attacking Russia and planning on conquering it. The Europeans are just obedient minions to our evil. We know this because you TOTALLY ERASE BASES, in the WORLD’S BIGGEST HURRY, like evacuating Fstan when you’re planning on attacking someone far larger than you are. Sez Alex C, Brian Berletic, and a ton on Fox News.
Yeah, how about “The U.S. has now measured Europe’s response to us kicking the pants off them, telling them to stop Ukraine, and have determined they won’t and are DEFINITELY going to invade Russia, regardless of what we do.” Or regardless of how profoundly suicidal that is, for Europe and the world. That means the only remaining strategy is to get out from between the two warring parties and let them go.
This is gruesome. But since EUROPE IS FOR IT, I can’t imagine how to stop. Like, ask any European in the street, Russia, Putin, etc. Are the going to go be arrested, trying to oust Queer Stalin’s rape gangs to stop a war with Putin? Nope. They’re going to sit nice and quiet until it’s too late. Yeah, it’s 1939, but I think you’ve missed which side is which. The Wolfsheads, Black Sun Azov and Brownshirts are all the EU. Closest allies, unlimited open checkbook support.
Miller: census. Yes, and that is CRAZY AF, but the Census isn’t until 2030. Yes, that’s close, and yes Trump can call one this year, but it would need to happen. How the Supreme Court EVER ruled this is like proof of blackmail and extortion. We can’t set up Spanish Parliament on the basis of how many British tourists happen to be on holiday. JHC. That’s what we’re doing here.
Remember, they refused to rule on how Texas gets the wrong President if Wisconsin cheats at voting, also transparently true and written word-for-word as a Federal Issue, mandate. They refused. USSC is like that and always has been. Look at Roe or Dred Scott.
“Iran is denying that it attacked the United Arab Emirates,”
This part is odd. What if it’s true? UK finds a way to shoot em up? Iran isn’t one country, we’ve already seen IGRC does the opposite of the President’s will. We’ve never known if the Mullahs had more than symbolic power. But what if somebody needs the war to keep going? Happens every ceasefire, but I am a coincidence theorist. Just because we’ve watched Israel do the same thing every time for a lifetime doesn’t mean anyone else wants war too. (Or Israel did it, and why not, except: ‘ally’)
See what I mean? Dr. No Intel team needs the “war to be on” on the 60-Day so Congress can make something of it, anything to keep Trump from “Winning”. Wouldn’t you?
Remember that missile shot off from underneath a Seattle Naval base, headed at Air Force One? I don’t happen to own rogue subs with air-missiles aboard, but if you had any this is a good use for them.
““It is just complete, systematic dismantlement of the Iranian economy.”
As above, Mercouris was mocking Trump’s claims that there was any damage to the Iranian economy, currency, government, military, or people. Uhhh, Alex? Pretty sure that’s all very, very correct. A car costs a billion rial now. And no one is working. There are no imports, like, say: FOOD. Alex’s Feelz wants them to win, therefore they are! Keep fighting, you! Attaboy! I’ll sit over here and cheer in perfect safety while you work.
No. Situation is incredibly dire. The media downplaying it is as tantamount to murder as cheering our missile strikes are. Entire media has bloodlust, doing everything to keep the war going and hot, deadly as possible, but at least no new events to point out TACO this last 7 days, which Trump is not ALLOWED to stop bombing, ever.
“the farthest they can get their missiles at this point is UAE. They’re looking for proximate targets. They don’t even try and shell Israel anymore.”
Apparently they never did, although I’d want hard confirm. They ALWAYS sent more missiles to their neighbors than Israel? That seems inexplicable and not what I was initially reported. It’s fine to piss off Israel long-term, I even approve, but Oman, UAE and SAUDI? Are you nuts? They can make trouble for you for 100 years and you can’t stop them. Again, Iran doing nothing strategic or logical for their own, just as if they were functionaries for someone else behind them. I suspect Trump is doing this AT THE BEHEST OF Saudi and the Gulf states, not that they can admit it. They certainly act like it.
““Countries from all over the World, …, have asked the United States if we could help free up their Ships, which are locked up in the Strait of Hormuz, on something which they have absolutely nothing to do with — They are merely neutral and innocent bystanders!”
This is also a dead PR loss and easy solution: Let them OUT. That’s it. Don’t allow them back IN. Therefore whoever doesn’t want to be involved is free to go. Iran won’t, so they are in fact attacking all these many nations of the world. We understand what’s happening and why, but Really? And everyone will love you Iran? Send out a pack of sandwiches, it would go real far to have anyone believe you. You only have to look better than the U.S. who suddenly and aggressively bombed you, and you can’t even do that?
Again, is Trump PAYING them? Because they’re doing the biggest self-own in the history of war.
“opposition to state nationalism must come from a collective decision to retain the old geopolitical structures”
If there are no nations, then why are you representing them? If there are no nations, peoples, cultures, interests, what is there? Okay sold: I won’t support you then Carney, because there is no Canada, and no Ministers, Prime or otherwise. You win.
Again, the plan is to murder every Canadian by making them the Ukraine the Globalist oligarchs throw at an escaping United States. Do not do this thing. We will kill the f—k out of you, just as Russia did, and not think twice. We won’t even invade since everything is within artillery range from our side. If we can take out Iran in 20 days halfway around the world with 10% of our army, what do you think we’ll do to you? Tell Carney you will not do this thing.
“• Palantir Touts Record Expansion and ‘Battlefield’ AI Value (RT)
Yeah, it’s been great, you saw this in how rapidly Israel beat Hamas using AI. The wonderful targets it chose (Every square inch, anything over 1 meter in height). I’ll pay you a million dollars to NOT use it. We’ll almost certainly win faster.
Here’s the thing: we don’t actually know what they can do or what they ARE doing. They could be attacking Globalists, or Fernenghi or the invading robot army of Dracos. Nothing I’ve seen makes any sense as to the norm and function of it.
“A lot hangs on this. If Musk doesn’t win, we get uncontrolled AI.”
Yes but we’ll get that either way. It depends on the people not standing for it and shutting it off. They’re not, one reason because they’re moving too fast.
“Brussels is set to announce plans to build massive computing hubs while critics stress there is almost no domestic artificial intelligence industry to use them”
Using them against the People ONLY. Of course. And since Corporation and Government are merged and indistinguishable, that’s who’s using it.
“The EU is a direct participant in the conflict. They also want to be a mediator.”
As all things they do, they are but aren’t, it is, but isn’t, they are both, neither, involved, attacking, not attacking, but also innocent and peaceful. This is the worldwide mental illness: “Things are whatever I made up 5 seconds ago. 5 seconds from now it will be different again.” Obey or die. But also Obey AND die.

ParticipantHere is an opinion that won’t be seen in the USA MSM
It still seems to me that the problem is that there is no mechanism in any potential agreement, whether tacit or open, to restrain Israel from attacking both Gaza and Lebanon. Iran has been very restrained despite all provocation and thus has been able to dump all the blame for naked, wicked aggression on Israel and the US. The Gulf mess has availed the US nothing; rather, it has bought a huge economic crisis in exchange for nothing, nor can any upping of military aggression against Iran from it gain it anything. On the contrary, any increase in use of force will only double the loss, especially in the court of world public opinion, where US militarism is universally hated, except among racists and would-be comprador elites in its subordinate allies.
Israel is another matter. While Israel has suffered an unknown amount of damage, possibly considerable, and while its murderous assassination campaign did not produce any benefit for it, by diverting attention to Iran, it has been able to continue beating up on Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank (and to a very small extent, Syria). Israel’s goal at this point is killing as many Lebanese and Palestinians as possible. It is entirely genocidal, having given up on trying to portray itself as an innocent victim, except maybe to its own followers and people. All Lebanon and Palestine have is their own resistance; no help is forthcoming from the outside, and despite that they still survive and carry on, much to Israel’s consternation.
The only thing that can stop Israel is the US clamping down on it with threats such as those used by Eisenhower in 1956-1957. But the US situation has changed, and to make that move might necessitate a civil war in the US. With Iran, the US might agree even to stop Israel, and Israel might even have to agree to complete ceasefires on paper. But because they never uphold any agreements, the Israelis will just continue on their murderous course, so that the US would have to use greater force than paper agreements. Because Israel’s behavior is so against US interests, eventually the US will have to do this, but no wonder the US elite do not want to bite that bullet.
Meanwhile, the ever-vigilant Zionists, both Israelis and US citizens (sometimes they are both at the same time, like Miriam Adelson), are in quite a snit and panic about the collapse of popular support. They are very dangerous at this stage, because not only will they use lawfare to try to suppress all dissent, but they will also use every clandestine means to eliminate opponents, from defamation, which seems gradually to be getting less effective, to outright force, assault, and murder. Be prepared for Zionist hit squads murdering people in the US, and not just Arabs. They will stop at nothing, because they are true believers on a crusade.

War On Iran: – Trump Discards “Project Freedom” – Another Oil Market ‘Peace’ Scam – Loss In Trust Of U.S. Protection
Each day it is getting harder to cover the current war on Iran. Official U.S. comments and paths of actions are changing by the hour without any consistency.Operation “Project Freedom”, i.e. U.S. protection for ships leaving the Persian Gulf, was announced on Sunday. It had failed by Monday. It was promoted (vid) by Warcrime Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday only to be, just five hour later, discarded by President Trump.
The whole point of the ‘Project’ may have been to get some negotiating advantage. After Iran countered the scheme it was immediately discarded.
Today’s major news so far was a new oil market scam launched by the White House.
Axios reporter Barak Ravid, an Israeli intelligence and White House asset who had announced the last seven of zero peace deals with Iran, promoted another one:
The White House believes it’s getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue.
The big picture: The U.S. expects Iranian responses on several key points in the next 48 hours. Nothing has been agreed yet, but the sources said this was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began.

fenbendazole is the animal variant, probably equally effective

(each dose is about 1/4 of what a worming dose would be, for this purpose)

ParticipantNo civil war in the US over Israel. Americans, I believe, are done with the Zionist sons of bitches.

ParticipantAgreements With Israel:
Any acceptable agreement with Israel is where you willingly agree to help Israel kill you!
Strait Theater:
First they killed the barb.
So truth was the first casualty.
You don’t want to know what is behind the curtains.Internet Cookies:
As I understand it, the internet isn’t giving out free cookies like they used to in the past.
So, no more chocolate chip cookies?Ukraine War Costs:
Ukraine has run out of just about everything, tanks, artillery, airplanes, men, now even money.
But fortunately for Nato, the costs of Ukraine waging war on Russia has dropped drastically, just in time.Drones have turned most big military hardware into expensive targets.
So no need for any highly trained crews now.
The shortage of cannon fodder is no longer as important because drones have replaced the need for them.
With Starlink, most of Ukraine’s need for more trained drone operators can be met by remote controlled Nato drone operators.For Russia, they are busy doubling their numbers of drone operators to meet this new Nato drone threat.
Russia is still winning on the frontlines, but they now face a new form of gorilla drone warefare that knows no buffer zones.This new long range drone gorilla warefare can continued forever by Nato, negating Russia’s current military advantages, while exposing Russia to the high domestic costs involved in fighting a ongoing gorilla war they can’t end easily.
That is why Russia faces a war with Nato, someday soon..

Biggest drone display ever! – Guinness World Records
GUINNESS WORLD RECORD Christmas Drone Show! (1,500+ Drones)
Below is a curated, structured guide to help you quickly identify which type of drone‑display you want — operational, artistic, or record‑scale.🎆 Types of Drone Light Shows (and what each video demonstrates)
1. Record‑Breaking Mega‑Shows (5,000+ drones)
Guinness World Record Christmas Show (Sky Elements)
5,000+ drones forming complex 3D objects, characters, and motion sequences.
Best for: Understanding maximum‑scale swarm choreography, airspace management, and LED‑pixel density.2. High‑Precision Chinese Mega‑Formations (HighGreat)
5,200‑drone world‑record display
Ultra‑tight formations, hologram‑like shapes, and synchronized transitions.
Best for: Evaluating swarm‑control algorithms, GPS‑denied stability, and formation‑resolution limits.3. Intel Shooting Star / Corporate‑Grade Shows

Christmas, patriotic, and festival shows
Story‑driven sequences with characters, transitions, and music synchronization.
Best for: Evaluating creative potential, branding, and public‑event applications.📌 If you want a specific type of drone display
Tell me which category you want next:Military‑style swarm demonstration (non‑classified, public‑domain examples)
3D volumetric drone formations
Drone‑fireworks hybrid (pyro‑drones)
Indoor drone‑swarm shows
How these shows are programmed (workflow + software)
How many drones are needed for a specific image resolution
A curated playlist of only the most technically advanced shows
⚙️ If your intent is operational (e.g., modeling swarms, signal interference, or airspace control)
I can produce:A technical breakdown of how these shows maintain formation
A risk model for swarm‑density vs. GNSS interference
A control‑system architecture map (ground station → mesh → drone)
A failure‑mode analysis (lost link, drift, cascade failure)
Just tell me what angle you want.
Would you like more videos, only military‑grade swarms, or a technical analysis of how these displays work?

ParticipantSatellite image from today shows the US Navy’s “approximate blockade line” which is about 650 km from the Strait of Hormuz, in the Northern Arabian Sea near the entrance to the Gulf of Oman. The line goes from the Pakistan/Iran border to the shoulder of Oman.

Slow news day!
1. How many drones are required to rob a bank and make it look like Carney did the job?
2. How many drones are required to do your income taxes for you?Evil Google AI:
This spring, prior to tax season, I asked Google’s AI how much a person living in Ontario could make tax free?
Google AI said they could make Ontario’s Basic Personal Amount (BPA) of $12,747 plus Federal BPA of $16,129 or $28,876!
I stopped asking Google AI for anything more than to search for specific information!
Asking Google AI to rub 2 sticks together, is simply asking for nothing but trouble!

ParticipantI had posted that ivermectin & mebendazole/fenbendazole information a couple of weeks ago. It is good, and safe and cheap(ish), but it is far from perfect. It is the kind of thing that should be first line, though…
