    Krainer: good but may want a link not to post the whole thing. …I’m one to talk…

    While all he’s saying is true about those systems, there are many more than one system, and either could be moral. National systems can be deeply immoral, or attack and extract their neighbors or whatever. They can also be immoral and unworkable internally. So take it as its own thing.

    What he means here is VOLUNTARY vs Involuntary. Now they’re running a Con, and Arm-twisting, extorting, extracting on an uneven playing field which is essentally always backed up with VIOLENCE somewhere. “But India WANTS to trade with us!” Sure, or you’ll haul in the gunboats and shell the city. “Gunboat Diplomacy.” This is the same in Ohio: “But they WANT to sell milk under production cost and have no industry or banking in Akron.” No. They don’t. You made it illegal to do otherwise.

    Now recently we’re talking about “The American System” and “The British (Un)Free Trade System”, but it’s because the American System is TRYING to do good for the PEOPLE, by intent, as a goal, that it works.

    Think about it in those terms and it’s far clearer: What do we, they, us workers, want? To PRODUCE things. Why? Because we can SELL them at fair value, voluntarily, without shooting anyone. Then we go home and sleep safe and rested. It’s a self-solving problem. However, human nature being what it is, all nations — or rather people in them — immediately attempt to NOT work, and get an UN-Fair advantage. Until we have today’s nirvana, where the nation that produces the least, with the least voluntary exchange, like the World Reserve Currency, gets infinity goods for nothing.

    Yeah, no. As anyone would guess, the STARK IMMORALITY of that instantly rots and decays YOURSELF. Them too, sort of, but they get stronger from Work. You get weaker from not-work. Until you’re both overwhelmingly immoral — as crime and violence pays — and also infinitely weak, hollow, and stupid. Crime doesn’t pay. You can’t cheat God. This is why it must be stopped, and also why it’s so difficult, same as other crime and addictions.

    Thankfully, we very clearly ARE doing this, and attempting it right now, to replace extraction with honest work and voluntary exchange, and instead of commending us for cleaning up our meth addiction and crime-spree, everyone is suddenly piling on and tryign to STOP us from cleaning up and getting a day job. Both calling on every old debt that might be paid, but also ceaselessly reminding us what we did once and how we’re miserable pieces of s–t who will only fail and never amount to anything, why even try, and so on.

    So thanks. As you might expect, this is not especially helpful for someone getting their life back on track EXACTLY AS YOU WANTED. So you didn’t really want it, did you? You prefer the nation to be a miserable, failing, collapsing empire that hurts everyone, because you can get your jollies pointing at them and feeling superior, INSTEAD of doing WORK where you and they are both cleaned up and the practical world just operates better and more fairly each day.

    I’ll take the second, please. Thankfully, I never care in the slightest what other people say. But they could save their breath. It makes them look bad, petty, immoral, and in favor of both violence, evil and empire. No. We’ll stop Empire and be honest again, despite you, and despite every attempt to stop us.

    Krainer is definitely missing this recently as he was very triggered by actions in Iran, and being Serbian, perhaps appropriately so. But that doesn’t make his analysis clear or right. He’s wrong on that one, even though I can understand why.

    Today:
    “GREATEST COORDINATED ECONOMIC ISOLATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.”

    Okay, think one HALF step beyond: WHO? The meta-assumption is, Iran IS getting economic commerce now, in a big, big numbers through someone. Who? Who are they banking with? Today? If it’s someone, it’s our allies – because they are “The West” then who? Lithuania? Finland? Uruguay? Yeah, no.

    Okay then, who are we REALLY shutting off? What is Bessant CHANGING from today, from the recent past?

    Now we say “London” as a shorthand, but it might be routed through Santander and Deutschebank. It’s definitely in Hamas drug-running in Columbia, and we’re not shutting off China’s connection with them. But don’t worry about Iran right now, what PARTNERS are we talking about?

    If the flows stop, forget Iran: who ELSE gets shut off? Santander? Credit Agricole Paris? Mizuho Japan? It’s somebody, and Bessant already has all Iran’s money in UAE. Bessant has near-total leverage over all of them except China. China abandoned Iran 180 days ago.

    “We’ve escorted over 1,000 ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Quietly. Effectively. Night after night.”

    Says AI, AI construction, gag me, so dumb I get hives when I see that sentence construction now. And “Prove it” but yes, probably. I mean, don’t ask if the media is lying, ask when was the last time they were caught telling the truth.

    ““ALL US GOLD, amounting to over $1 TRILLION, is present and accounted for.”

    I totally don’t believe this but it doesn’t matter. First: “Make them” “Prove it” but second, we can mine that gold 10x before you can push through any audit since we have nothing but gold from the Rockies West to the Arctic Circle and could probably CRASH the price of gold with our massive overproduction. Get a grip.

    Time to watch Diesel and refineries – thanks Newsom – after screaming that’s been dead-wrong for 180 days. But this is a thing, a process, a market made entirely of arcane details and can flip fast.

    “New U.S. Territory”, “Why not bomb them on a slow Friday night.”

    Why does he do this? To point out not taking them seriously. Because they are not a serious rival to the U.S. and need to get a grip. It’s like Cuba invading us. No. That’s not seriously going to happen, and at some point treating your 5-year-old like a co-equal adult backfires. So this is round-about bringing to mind Iran is not our equal but a small country somewhere. That goes to expectations and negotiations too. He shouldn’t have to do this s—t but you’re all under some kind of weird spell. Hypnosis, where “When I say words” like you think a cat is a dog. I say “Apple” and you hop on one foot and lose your mind like a charlatan’s parlor trick.

    Iran is Iran, and they’re powerful as they are, but can’t like, invade Pakistan and China. Reality Exists.

    “Canada is playing politics hoping to retain their one-sided benefits..”

    Yeah, no. I’m not all that sure the U.S. hasn’t taking undue profits from the whole USMCA straight back to NAFTA. Canada gets SOME benefits, but ledger accounting doesn’t make it clearly one-sided. I think Ottawa threw Alberta and the West under the bus, dgaf, all cheap now undercut and crushed to the U.S. out there, to protect Eastern, Ontario, Laurentian Oligarch interests in the core. But this question is really, really complicated.

    “Meanwhile, President Trump and his trade team are intentionally quiet.”

    Yeah, that’s literally almost never happened. They’re up to something. I think Carney’s plan depends on Ukraine: engineering the Canadian people to hate the U.S. and throw themselves into our machine gun nests. Which they are not inclined to do, 1) being rational, practical people 2) because it takes generations to socially engineer this out of nothing. So the U.S. is doing very little to give Carney fuel, Trump personally being different and making a couple TV points that hardly matter.

    “Canada will not permit unlimited and unrestricted access to their market for U.S. companies.”

    Yeah, they shouldn’t. That would be suicide. But that would mean quid pro quo, they don’t get unrestricted access here either. Then all the car plants in Windsor close, unless they want to make a Canadian brand, which is an excellent idea they should totally do. Since Volvo screwed themselves and all of us by selling out. Like I said: complicated.

    “• Trump Loses Trade War With Canada — The Atlantic (TASS)

    It’s not over, it hasn’t even begun, both nations are essentially immortal, but we lost already. Wow. “Time Exists” Mr. Atlantic. Canada being 1/10th the size DEFINITELY is ALWAYS a problem. You have to work very, very hard to stay at par whenever that’s the case. And they don’t have to be, Canada has strangled their own economy for 50-100 years. But Canada was ALREADY losing thousands of companies who were co-incorporating in the U.S. since Canada attacks work and business wherever found. You made them do that, they didn’t want to. Now you’re going to make them take the legal entity they created, and hire in Maine and Wisconsin, firing in QC and Windsor.

    “Trump also said American farmers had been charged “massive amounts of Tariffs” for years.”

    50% food tariffs before now. Why is food and prices so high in Canada? You have more oil per person than we do – and that’s saying something! — yet your gas prices are crippling when they could be free. Why? Carney does have great speechwriters though, despite being a weaselly, Canadian-crushing liar. I appreciate quality.

    “Bill Maher Admits Democrat Party Is Antisemitic (Matt Margolis)

    I mean, I think 80% of American Jews are die-hard liberal Democrats, so I don’t know where that’s going or what took so long. I think almost none of them have flipped, despite the DNC speaking of the joys of genociding them. I’ve given up trying to figure out why people do things. “Science proceeds one funeral at a time” and if you learned a thing – to be a Democrat – at 8 years old, you have to die and the next generation take it before anyone changes their mind. It’s unimaginable to me, but I see it daily, and the Social Engineers know it. Personally I’d rather flip sides and “Not die” but that’s me.

    Now no Jews are leaving – they prefer being murdered I guess – but IF any of them actually left, a whole minority group in their coalition would collapse. Apparently Blacks are smarter than Jews, since they have been edging to the door since 2016. Go figure. I can’t. Losing half of each would make the DNC unelectable forever under these conditions, and feel free to follow https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzutjd_9z1g as every day some new AG, county Clerk or whatever loses their minds that NJ must remove a mere 6,000 illegals from the voter rolls. In MI here it’s like 100k. Georgia is against anyone looking at any evidence or having any audits at all. Arizona commits new felonies daily, in the face of judges to cover it up. Nothing says “Integrity” like not allowing anyone to look for any reason, and attempting to arrest anyone who does. I always blow that fuse whenever I have nothing to hide.

    It’s hot right now, pre-election and there are like two of these a day, in addition to actual investigations and arrests from the DoJ.

    Anyway, that’s what happens when you lose a mere 10% of the black vote because you’ve been screwing them raw for 60 years and say they’re too stupid, lazy, and illiterate to get ID. Not a vote-getter.

    “a treaty cannot simply acquire authority over American soldiers, officials, or allied leaders without American consent. The ICC answers that its jurisdiction can arise through the territory on which alleged crimes occurred,

    Shut up. It’s about guns and who has more of them. Like all things. We’re leaving the lies and pretending behind. When has the ICC or any Euro-court ever not been crooked? Milosevic was a textbook case in crooked, all just to get his gold. 30 years ago, when things were nice. Brazen, open, crass AF. Never been a moment any Euro-court even LOOKED like they were legit. Not in 1920, not in 1950, never. Pick your example. “When is a Greek Bankruptcy not a bankruptcy?” “Shut up, whenever I SAY it isn’t.”

    “ELON JUST NAMED THE REAL GOAL OUT LOUD”

    Elon must be the dumbest of us all, because we all know. Or is this an “Appeal to Authority”?

    “You have at most 3 years left to make money by selling your work.”After that, AI will handle most tasks”

    AI makes a disaster of even a Call Center phone tree. The simplest, most-computer able construction in existence. Stopping all work and preventing all solutions entirely, with perfect accuracy. But they’re going to paint my house. Sure. You can DESTROY everything with that plan, but I challenge you to get even one thing to work. I totally believe you plan to fire all humans though. Just that all human needs and productivity will stop with it. Guess what: failing utterly is not good for profits, you fools. Eventually.

    “The catalyst for the melt-up? September 2026: Cybercab Launch. Here’s the simple math:”

    AI form. No human was involved in this post. Or they’re themselves an NPC. Yeah, no. I will give you equal numbers it’s 10x overvalued. But stock valuation lost all reality like 20 years ago. There are not a Trillion dollars in taxi profits per year. Get a grip.

    “Will Diesel Decide the U.S. Elections?”

    Maybe, but aliens could land and decide it too.

    “”Iran Is Losing Its Grip On Hormuz”: Strait Traffic Explodes Nearly 400%

    Looks like the obvious is breaking through. “The nation without a navy vs the nation with a navy.” One of them is now able to stop sea traffic. Again, this was all Lloyd’s of London who has NEVER, ever stopped shipping before. They’d change rates but never stop in 300 years. Obviously. Because insurance is just risk, which has price. Then they said “If you go through, or get insurance elsewhere, we’ll attack and de-bank, de-insure your whole fleet worldwide” which is ALSO a breathtaking statement.

    Again, what is Russia’s “Shadow Fleet”? No “Shadow at all. Totally legal. Extremely obvious. A “Shadow Fleet” is any fleet not insured by Lloyd’s, that’s it. …Exscrews me? Like Greece isn’t allowed to insure their massive shipping fleet? Nope. Russia, embargoed to the teeth, can’t self-insure? Nope.

    I think we may have found “Who you’re not allowed to criticize” so to speak. So nothing in Hormuz with Iran is organic. Lloyd’s is MAKING half of this happen. The other half is, “Where does Iran get their multi-billions in money, dollars, to run the nation?” Funny old world, same people! London banks, probably including Lloyd’s.

    So “Traffic rising 400%” also means “Everyone’s going through” which means Lloyd’s can’t stop everyone. Or they’ll have no customers. Iran probably never could stop everyone. Why waste ammunition when Lloyd’s will do it for them?

    Should we keep up with this story still? Or pivot to Canada attacking us on oil flows?

    “More than a million foreign nationals that had been living in the US with removal protections are now classified as illegal immigrants…

    Another million. Let me restate that: ANOTHER, Million. So 5 U.S. cities just vanished. Or hope to, because that’ll drop rents nicely and increase wages.

    “”Evidence of illness is not required” to trigger international pandemic reporting, WHO declares”

    Glad we fired every Expert and have made them do a walk of shame. If we could invade and fire-bomb their offices, maybe that would be justified under international law as well.

    “Did Canada Just Sign Its Own Economic Death Warrant?”

    Maybe, but it’s not this part. IF you feels the fee-fees that you’ve been attacked, and want to go to war, there is an order of operations here so you don’t get annihilated. Like “Economy, steel mills, railways, ports, airplanes, chemical plants, training troops” etc, in a specific well-known order. Canada hasn’t lifted a finger, so they don’t WISH to win, at all, and the death warrant has nothing to do with tariffs or attacks at all, but their failure to have the brains god gave a goose. And I wager a huge majority of Canadians are practical and also aware of this, although you may have to ask them the right questions.
    So the headline is misleading in that it snap-directs your mind to the wrong location.

    This was similar to Iran’s case, where you had the throw, lost bad, then you sue for peace, build up, and attack the U.S. again 10 years from now, but smarter. I mean, they had a great strategy, it just didn’t work, no fault, now you need to buy time to build another. Nope, they wanted to get leveled instead. ‘Cause that wins wars.

    This is compared to Ireland, which DID do these things. Falling back, taking punches, but staying in the game. Because they are much smaller it took 1-400 years and a World War or two. Strategy. Order of operations. What’s Carney’s strategy here? Direct immediate confrontation with a nation 10x their size, without lifting a finger to prepare? Win on Vibes?
    So on a 50% total embargo, Canada gets stronger for the long fight how exactly? Yeah, not. He’s sacrificing Canada for the short term as a pawn to rear-guard action defend their sworn and true ruler: King Charles of England. Every Canadian dies as is their duty to protect the (profits of the) motherland. And every Brit in Blackpool and Rotherham too.

    Yeah, no, Carney. Pass. But it’s not my country, do what you have to. But this is a certain, painful, loss.
    Beating someone 10 times your size – even living near them – is a daunting challenge. It’s going to take incredible forethought, strategy, independence, and diplomacy. While fine and normal — which is saying something, a lot of countries aren’t — Canada hasn’t demonstrated any of that in my lifetime, and sometimes the opposite.

    It’s far more likely they’re going to punish Trump in the short term, lose utterly, then get hard-punished in trade terms on the back-end for decades. Don’t do it. Get the nation running up solo first, at least a lot, THEN punch the U.S. in the face if you want to. …But that would take years, a decade, which London doesn’t have. Canada DOES have them. They’re going to continue to be our neighbor after, just like Iran has to live with every nation in the gulf. Punching them is a dumb plan. Punching them all without preparing for winter is suicidal. So WHY.

    “Death Of Europe’s Industrial Base: VW CEO Set To Announce 50,000 Job Cuts

    Obviously, that means the U.S. and US$ will collapse and everyone will flee by putting their money in Germany. That’s what Fox News says, and when have they been wrong.

    “Georgia Refuses To Adopt EU Sanctions On Iran Citing ‘National Interests’

    I mean, good for them, they should do that. However, “Dream Party” is George Soros/London operation government iirc. London is supporting Iran? Whaaaaa??? I’ve never heard the like. From me. Every, Day. So this matters because Georgia is sending their army, right?

    “Why Trump’s blockade cannot turn Iran into an island”
    “Iran cannot continue on the path of a slow Strait of Hormuz strangulation – as it runs the risk of reversing gains as time goes by.

    Pepe following CNN in saying Trump is controlling the Straits. Ah. He must have got “The Memo”.

    And that we nuked Iran again. Third time this week. He’s said the #Opposite for 170 days, both we didn’t, and we were out of missiles and escalation. Now we’re not. We surrendered to Iran except we didn’t. The straits were closed but they’re open. Genius.

    “The Trump administration believes it has turned the tables on Iran. For the first time, Trump thinks time is on his side. But Iran appears unfazed – for now”
    “That calculation changes the strategic equation. Rather than being forced to accommodate Iranian demands, President Donald Trump now believes he can afford to wait Tehran out. For the first time since the war began, the White House has concluded, time is working in America’s favor.” – Trita Parsi

    Sleeping with Trump and reading his mind. Also ignoring Bessant who clearly seems in charge of this, Trump delegating, and Hegseth following. All conjecture from which he draws a strawman conclusion. I mean, Maybe! Sure. But you don’t actually know a single thing in this, not Trump, not the strategy, not the situation, not our weapons levels, nothing. All he knows is he wants him to lose.

    So the Straits being controlled by the U.S. and ships pouring through the Omani side now means the U.S. lost.

    Ummm? No? And unlike you, I thought “Trump” essentially had this game-planned, logic-tree’d with Pentagon supercomputers all along. Under what – possible – scenario, what possible reality exists where they wouldn’t? You toddle down the hall and say “Major Payne! We’re hearing dumb noises from Israel; I want 20 scenarios run by January 10th!” “Yes sir!” Duh. He doesn’t, we don’t, literally no one just “Seat of the pants” it anymore. For the love of Christ, man. We invented computers in like 1970, we’ve definitely had a hazy version of this since 1990, 35 years ago. Is your claim that the Pentagon has no money? Or has no computers? What.

    “COUNTRIES DUMP U.S. BONDS, REPLACE DOLLARS WITH GOLD — w/ Jeffrey Currie”

    Uhhhh, no. Not unless you mean since 2001. Nothing at all happened today. Gold is DOWN, you fool. Down way, way down from recent highs. Oil is down. Bitcoin is way down. Bond flips so far are no more than a raid. Now it MIGHT be something, but unless your day-trading time-parameter is “Goldfish” then nothing much has happened yet. Yes, there is a flag on the field. But something would have to happen to put legs under it.

    Now why does he do this? To wrong-foot you and steal your money.

    “Bessent Does Not Know He’s Battling Against the Gold Market  McOscillator

    Everyone is stupid but me. Especially one of the best, richest traders. He’s definitely dumber than Jokel McYokel. OR, Mr. Oscillator, Bessant WANTS the gold price high, since we own a s—t ton of it, and is re-grounding the dollar and handling the U.S. debt load by re-pricing gold which always happens every time in history and “harms no one” in that sense.

    Soros may have “Broken the Pound” but Bessant is the one who invented and arranged it, going over Soros’ apprehensions. They ambushed him and said, “It’s basically already happening, pal.” That’s the guy who’s a dummy here and doesn’t understand currencies and gold. Right.

    Btw, this also means the Dollar is in no danger at all. I mean ASIDE from being the best of economies, with the only remaining rule of law, we just re-price gold. Fixed: The End. Easy Peasy. On the golf course by 3. Like Japan however, you need to hint, signal, give people time to bail out and reposition so they don’t get run over. All the screamers are people losing by it, but mostly losing because they want/need the U.S. to fail and we refused. Make Me.

    Wtf would we fail when we have more Oil, gold, food, workers, than we know what to do with? That’s dumb.

    “The US is a declining great power”

    We seem to have defeated a nation of 90 Million people in 4 months instead of 4 years like in 1945. Some Decline.

    Iran called on the nations of the world, calling it the world blockade, not Iran’s. No one came. Apparently they hate Iran’s guts, and the only one who likes them are Fox News and TV liberals. I mean, I don’t understand it, I just report it. To me that seems pretty cold. But then, TV Liberals don’t lift a finger either. They can buy a plane ticket and enlist. But that would be “Work”.

    “Seyed M. Marandi: Trump to Squeeze Iran’s Economy to the Brink—But Tehran Just Doubled Its Arsenal”

    “Mark Sleboda: Iran Goes on the Offensive – The Strategy to Cripple US ‘Maximum Pressure’”

    By “the Offensive” they mean adjectives, nouns, and verbs, as they seem to have no “weapons.”

    “Decline” is when every nation on earth is investing trillions in your productivity practically overnight, and your stocks are near all-time highs. Jobs open up and wages rise. Practically the very definition of “Collapse.”

    Galloway has a supernatural ability of “Not Noticing” and doesn’t notice ISS is all trained by and a full merger with MI6 – perhaps because he was just arrested by them at the airport. And they are the ones taking out Khan. Like Iran, the government does not rule the nation, it’s a puppet show for the muppets. Whenever anything actually happens, Lo! Suddenly we discover only the ISS and Generals have any power! And maybe not the Generals. So why bother? Cut to the chase and just have the ISS be your unelected government. Or cut to THAT chase, and send your requests directly to MI6. Btw, to add, the ISS seems to be operating in UK, but hey, go where your people are.

    “Trump & Israel PANIC, Iran Nuke IMMINENT as F-35 EMERGENCY Erupts | Elijah Magnier”

    Reading and respecting although Canada does not have big numbers with the U.S. they have a few critical materials with us. Thanks to Gavin Newsom’s pincer plan to shut refineries, we have critical issue with the TYPE of oil that can be refined. …But also remains to be seen, as it’s all details and we seem to have Venezuela on deck to fill this, even with a Canadian embargo, etc.

    Of course this will hurt the f—k out of Canada, but destroying Canada is Carney’s mission in life, as he makes Canada the new Ukraine, thrown against the United States. I hope the body count can remain lower, but if it does, it will be no thanks to him. And thus the timing. He thinks he can crash refineries and throw the midterm election, because election meddling is what Canada stands for.

    Today:
    ““National debt just hit $40 trillion. What are you going to do about it?”
    Trump: “what we have now that we never had before is TREMENDOUS growth.

    Yeah, that sounds pretty hollow. However, we did that with a similar debt in 1789 and it’s shockingly worked before. But really it’s that this is part of several fronts we’re throwing against it. Like I said, you drop the yearly cost from $2T to $1T and man, that debt drops fast. Cut our 10x overpriced healthcare by half, same thing. And aside from medical, it’s mostly fraud and immigrants, as only immigrants have health care, and working poor do not. “Cloward-Pivon”

    “KAROLINE LEAVITT on stage… and the crowd EXPLODED”

    Yeah, Trump is not as unpopular as they pretend. Just that Trump voters have restraint and common sense and keep their mouths shut, not to get into arguments with intolerant lunatics. Why bother? Just vote and get jobs and wages.

    “eliminating property taxes for homeowners aged 65 and older”

    Twenty problems: So anyone who works gets screwed again? Working Kids and families with children get screwed? Note they have no health care either and every +65 does. Property taxes aren’t Federal, so wtf. Etc. Pandering, why don’t you just flat tax the IRS, like Russia. ALL taxes are low, no favorites.

    “Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is publicly calling for Iran to end the war… “

    It’s worse than that, he’s dead Jim. No really: CNN is now reporting that the Navy escorts seem to be working, and they’re more Iranian than Iran is. The Mullahs get their daily talking points from Fox, MSNow and CNN. If CNN reports that level then Trump must have won completely. They’re just trying to catch up out of their lies.

    For example, to make this clear: Polling agencies and Networks lie like 8 points out on the polls. But they can’t be 10% wrong every election, the day after. So they start there, with total lies, then as the voting day nears, slowly adjust the lie closer to the truth until it’s just a little off. But still off. Point being, it’s all lies, just how MUCH of a lie is their only interest.
    Same thing with BLS Unemployment and Inflation stats for 40 years since Carter. They start with a headline whatever the President wants. Then back-revise it month by month until it’s somewhere in the zone of reality.

    CNN was reporting total loss when it may be a total win (remains to be seen). Now they are trying to close the gap of their hilarious, world-bending lies. Remember, Hillary was up by 20 points. So was Kamala, who couldn’t clear 2%. That’s CNN.

    “• How Trump Tried To Bribe The Head Of The IRGC (Pepe Escobar)

And loves Iran who has been drug-and-gun-running around the world, including all those South American nations. Que es? Iran is running LOVE drugs, and LOVE bombs and LOVE terrorists, you see, they paint a rainbow on the side or a Palestinian flag or something and it’s okay. Ah. So long as we’re all moral here Pepe. Otherwise it’s just nation states expressing POWER for their own national ends.

    That seems like the meta-position that US/Russia are allies against a common problem. Which we are.

And he also followed up with everyone else, no money, no weapons, hitting them on EU human rights, everything. But as thousands per week continue to die, it would be nice if something could happen.

    But we did! We shut off Europe’s Gas and Oil. In addition to the weapons. (Because we suggested Europe pay for them and they’re broke.)

    “You can only fight a religious war with .. religion.”

    Sort of. And I say this sometimes, you need an INTERNAL change, in your emotion and heart. However, Woke is the official State Religion that purges all others. It is regularly stated that Marxism is a religion, filling every part in the Human Psyche. This is pretty much true. Before this, you might say Star Trek, Scientific Materialism – pre Marxist, pre-Wokeist – is also a religion, and was the State religion. See the use and abuse of anyone in government who believes in Creationism, for instance. Anyway, the problem is that Scientific Materialism logically must lead to Wokism, or that general area. Just as unrestrained (classical) Liberalism must lead to decay as well. The Individual cannot be atomized, and the individual rejects God as extraneous. No doubt other forms (Confucianism, Buddhism) have their own hidden weaknesses, but we’re wrestling with these two for 1-200 years.

    So the State would be happy to fight the Religious war with Christians and Islam BOTH. And install Marxism/Wokism. This is in the “Three World Wars” quote of making them both so deadly and discredited, that they can introduce their Angel of Light, the Morningstar, and we will flock to his religion. …And this isn’t wrong! The Morningstar is a Humanist! He’s on line with the Masons, the Enlightenment. Thinking of himself, and Man is as God. “I Am God” as the New Age says. No buddy, you are not. Clearly. You’re delusional. God is God and you’re a speck of dust. Such is the delusion, which, like Elon, also follows the others “That ye surely shall not die” and so on, all from the Garden.

    “Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It’s fun to be a vampire.” — Lost Boys.

    Why not? Who doesn’t want that? A: Everyone. Try it for a while, see how it wears.

    The STATE would LOVE for Islam and Christians to fight, this Death Cult in the CIA would LOVE it. They plan it and pay millions for it. Don’t be a sap. In that sense, there are no Muslims.

    His article does wander back to the obvious though: All the places that are Muslim, are they better? Or worse? Whatever reason, they seem to be clearly far worse. That may be Culture, not Islam, makes no difference. If Islam were better, it would have already made Somali and Iraqi society far better over the centuries. It has not.

    “We are letting Muslim Brotherhood jihadists set up an apartheid system inside America,”

    “We” are doing no such thing, the CIA is. Because the Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t exist without them. They are a whole-cloth invention of Intel agencies and have been from 1930 to today.

    “The Republicans are unable to correct these corruptions, because the Democrat judges and election officials will not permit it,”

    Sure, buddy. WHY? A: Because half the Republicans use the same fraud to get elected, realizing if it’s all rigging, it’s impossible without. Okay, fine, then when you’re in, make it illegal. McConnell is your poster boy. So it’s not “Democrats” if the Republicans help and perpetuate it. Maybe that means the Republicans are MORE responsible, who knows? All my life with this, but let’s just point out 3 levels with Bush-Gore. Voting machines/ fraudulent accounting, fake recounts, the elected man was not installed, and the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction whatsoever (in the basis of their ruling). 25 years ago. With Republicans, whose father was the CIA director.

    Gore would have been a disaster, but wasn’t Bush?

    Key here is, ALL Americans have to come to realize ALL elections are frauds. You haven’t elected a real guy by votes in years, decades. So when you say “Government did this” no we/it did not! We literally never voted for this. We haven’t voted since they took out the huge, locked, one-armed bandit paper polling machines they put in because Nixon/Kennedy and Chicago was ALSO so fraudulent. And barely tipped into “Mostly legit” even then. But they put them in because “There ain’t no election fraud/can’t happen here.”

    “• Why Embracing AI Is Essential for Higher Education (Kent Ingle)

    I would say no. AI is going to change hour by hour. Anything you learn is outdated. That this guy doesn’t realize both is alarming.

    “When leveraged properly, artificial intelligence becomes an exponential work and impact multiplier.”

    Yes but it never is and perhaps almost can’t be. It CAN make infinite plausible robocalls and clean out my bank account though. It CAN unemploy every call center then be unable to fix any problem, regardless what I call customer Service for. Disables century-long conveniences in one go. Does that in seconds.

    If you want the whole world to bifurcate into AI/Tech and Computer-free zones made of backyard humans where everything works again, you’re on the right path. AI/Tech breaks everything it touches. Thanks to Computers, kids can’t even get drunk and f—k anymore – how did you even MANAGE to break that?? Medieval Priests searched centuries for that power. And now thanks to computers there are no children and the human race is dying out.

    Great Solution. #Winning. All all you had to do was pave the earth and use all power on the planet to run itself, where robo-scammers call robo-users in an infinite circle jerk of nothing getting done? So glad we extinguished all animal and vegetal life on earth for this.

    “More than 1,000 launches and reentries annually by 2030”

    To do WHAT? They haven’t explained. They have the “Paving the entire earth and burning every BTU” part down, but what is the GOAL of doing that, or is it an end, a joy unto itself? So long as all life is being slowly erased, that’s the only thanks we need. Including humans. Not good for us either.

    So you’ll have an Optimus take care of you? How? With what money? You nor anyone you know has a job. You’re not looking out your window at the lake, but a paved, blighted hellscape of the Matrix, “Brasil”, with solar panels over all green from coast to coast.

    Not a fan. But again, I don’t even know WHY they are doing this. There is no human, no life-goal here. They are radically, diabolically #AntiLife.

    Btw, remember Cramer saying “sell Bitcoin” right on schedule two weeks ago? BuyBuyBuy.

    Cramer is Goldman Sachs, and I always believe Goldman Sachs. They’re Experts! Trust the Dominant Authority. Especially if they’re over 30.

    “Not pressure. Not sanctions. COLLAPSE.”

    “It’s not this, it’s That!” Says AI, as no human ever touched this post. Blah Blah Blah Bessant. You’re helpless. Against Iran, at least. Go ahead but talk is cheap and inflated talk is even cheaper. Show me. And/Or shut up.

    “ALL ROADS LEAD DIRECTLY TO OBAMA”

    Of course they do. “Everybody knows”. And “Obama” is just the CIA Death Cult Derp State from birth. But there are normie base that either only doesn’t know, knows by osmosis, that they are still barely reaching. That’s annoying, but the democracy of a republic means the government can only do what the people want. So they have to win the PR and the Mob, and break through to get them to want it. Which is more difficult with the Truth than a lie.

    “Our public finances are completely shattered. In fact, we’re BANKRUPT as a state.”

    Okay, but Germany is the Battleship they use, so why did they sink it? Explain what’s happening here? I have my theories, but let’s check them.

    “There are no moderate Muslims. Either they are following the command of Allah to wage Jihad, or they are not Muslim.”

    They say the same with Christians, but it’s not really true. Both ignore it a lot, and widely, and are
    “Christian” if the word has any meaning, probably more in being moderate than being zealous. Turkey for example sure seems pretty Muslim, yet has huge tolerance for all sort of behaviors. As has the Ottoman for centuries, since Islam first existed. The expansion to Spain and Vienna MAY be Islamic, but it’s also a power taking over weaker, nearby powers. Just as non-Christian, non-Muslim Empires do as well. Or tiny tribes.

    So yes, but watch your definitions carefully and don’t get deceived by them. “Islam” is in a mood right now, but that “Mood” was paid for with a trillion dollars over the last 40 years, by the “Christian” (actually satanist) West to MAKE them act this way. On purpose, to kill people. When that’s also the case, what this guy says is perfectly true, but only in the most shallow sense.

    “• China Rejects US Demand To Back Its Economic Operation Against Iran (ZH)

    No kidding. This was already very, very well established months ago, including in Venezuela before that. So why am I seeing this now? Because it’s all a scam, this is not “New”, so China is begin Kayfabe to demonstrate how tough they are and are a peer power? That we’re talking and not dictating? Something like that. Because this was established months ago and isn’t news.

    ““We have asymmetric information, and I’m not sure why oil has popped up on this,” Bessent said.

    He knows because he can see the hidden cards of every nation on the table. He’s just telling you this. I suspect – also because all of these events have ALSO happened, over and over before now – they are having a pre-planned market RAID on Bessant, which they finally got off as best they could. Not bad. Just too small and makes no sense. Like NOW? AFTER all the oil is going through? AFTER prices are $77 for weeks? So now, suddenly, the market is reacting, thinking we’re going to “lose”? Not earlier, but when we’re 80% to winning and being over? Huh? Really?

    Yeah no. This is bullshit raid. It’s a good one. I mean, it happened. But too small, too weak, too illogical. It’s just painting the tape. And by a mere $10 which isn’t even a move.

    “Why aren’t the Iranians attacking more ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz”

    Literally because they can’t? I mean, that’s the only possible solve here, right?

    “This is how confidence collapses. The decline of an empire does not begin when it loses one battle.”

    Do Trump and America LOOK not confident? Despite everything Fox News can invent, we’re actually MORE motivated and MORE pissed off than ever. That means MORE confident that — It ain’t me it’s YOU. You guys are high AF. What are you smoking? We’ve only now STARTED to be pissed off, motivated, working, active, and aware. We’re so massive a 120 foot-long tyrannosaur, it took 20 years to get off the couch.

    There is no further apex #Opposite of “confidence” than this. That it’s not us, we’ve been s–t on, and it’s time to open some whup-ass. That exceeds the very word “Confidence”. It’s like “I don’t even care what happens, we’re coming.”

    “The United States may possess the naval power to escort ships, but it cannot force private capital to ignore risk.”

    Exactly. And that risk is EVERYWHERE BUT HERE, you dip. We WANT private capital to price risk accurately. Then we WIN. They flee Iran, Europe, etc. And come here, as clearly, decisively the LEAST risky in the world, with the MOST potential. China? Hot but tipping over? Europe, with every power plant leveled and shrinking at 8% a year? Russia, tied up and kind of isolated? No, no, and no. A nation with limitless oil and open manufacturing? We’re the only game in town.

    “Nor can it guarantee that mines, drones, missiles, or small boats will never penetrate the security perimeter.”

    And this is different from 5, 10, 20 years ago how? Somali has been doing this for decades. Wars have been in Libya, all over, Venezuela, cartels, worldwide, natively, and with like MI6 holding Malacca and trying to flip Hong Kong. What world do you live in? This is LESS exciting, LESS problematic than a lot of those. That’s been since I dunno, 1910 for Christ sake. Oh it’s reported by Fox News instead of ignored. Much Wow. It’s pretended to be real instead of pretended to be ignored. Much pretend.

    Man, I’m just some joker living under a bridge and I can grasp this better.

    “U.S-Canada Trade War is Now a Reality (CTH) The 50% U.S. tariffs against Canada are now in effect.

    Yay! Now we won’t notice a thing again! Since Canada SELLS to us (or hopes to) every moment this has issues means manufacturing is relocated here and Canada loses forever. We have jobs and well, they can stop this any time they want. Or sell to someone else, that’s fine. But it’s unlikely to affect us at all except for peeling off Alberta. And Saskatchewan, and breaking the nation forever. Blah blah. Ontario dgaf. No other province exists except themselves, sniffing their own butts.
    Meanwhile Mexico is in great shape, making normal deals. Getting rid of the Drug Cartels that Canada is slowly becoming famous for.

    Selected, not Elected. She’s an empty as a dim bulb. Has been since her first audition for the part. With the Oligarchs. You can tell since she swapped handlers. So dumb. But they believe it.

    Trump-Cohen Kayfabe. There are levels. Like I remember him talking about this, NYC, and so on, just ad hoc in some interview. And he was like “They should totally position against me, like about me, it wins them points, I understand.” Much approval for the game well-played, the Opposite of thin skin and driven by ego. This is similar: he knows they had Cohen by the balls and were going to prosecute him for nothing if they had to. So he understands why Cohen did. Nothing personal. Then he understands why, once the Fed had him on the hook, Cohen then kept lying, and lying, and lying, slower and slower, bigger and bigger, until he become a completely un-credible witness at all. To anyone, to the American people, although the Feds would believe literally anything if it got their way. So they looked even DUMBER by then. So Cohen – top Jewish, Manhattan lawyer that he is – slimed out of it yet again, punched the Feds in their stupid faces, lived to tell about it, and then a second time, and so on to today. Which, as Trump says, is no hard feelings. Like, who wants to go to jail? Whatever. He’s been shot 99 times, he can understand why Cohen wouldn’t want to try it. Who wouldn’t?

    And so here we are, everything apparently trued up and proven, just like I suspected it was all along. Score. It was PRETTY EASY to see. Just use your head.

    The point of life is living it, not pushing economic units around, maybe you’ve forgotten in the fury to pave forests and level mountains, consume all fresh water in concrete industrial server banks, which serve no purpose to any living thing, not even themselves, suicidal as they are.

    Sort of a random interview on Canada. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rN2RAMeab_E

    Food prices shoot up in Canada. Thousands of businesses flee and start legal entities in America. Economy stops. Carney said he is giving Trump what for! …By doing literally nothing at all. Nothing about the new American trade agreement. For more than 20 months.

    This is working great, as America can’t even tell. We literally can’t tell and don’t even think about Canada.

    But Carney has a fix! 1) Insult Trump daily, as it is well-known that making fun of him works great. He always withers and retreats if you don’t like him. 2) He formed a committee! Last month. 3) The committee has done nothing and has no plans. It’s September. I’m not sure America is even aware of the awesome power of “Forming a committee” as it has done nothing yet. While your economy is collapsing and your nation is overrun, with people sh–tt-g on the beaches and streets of Toronto.
    Okay man. The crime and poop overrun in Toronto. I blame Trump.

    You’re going to make ME come up with a productive, viable plan for Canada, being completely uninterested in your own business, while obsessed to the point of worship with us and Trump. Why? Does St. John’s not need a few businesses and a little attention?

    Okay, so Trump is bad man and the U.S. is evil. So? Start a military and arm up: sounds like you need it. Sounds like you need all the “Capitalism” you can get, because you need completely independent businesses to build and make everything independent of the United States, and FAST. Since you’re not trading with us, you desperately need to build entirely new world-class ports, but not excluding Montreal with Lake-size boats. At the same time, you need to sell MASSIVE oil at Vancouver, and cut off China so you can force a solid, competitive price on them. That means back-filling drilling in Alberta and kissing their -ss to get it done. To get any of this moving, you need a ten-BILLION dollar investment to start up Hamilton’s steel mills overnight. This needs to be done YESTERDAY, Mr. Carney, like in 2017.

    Conclusion? YOU DON’T BELIEVE A WORD. If you thought Trump or American was AT ALL like you say – even in the slightest – you would ACT on it. There is less than zero action, Carney follows Trudeau in making Canada WEAKER by the minute, and the condition of independence and counter-weight to the U.S. WORSE. …I mean as well as destroying every Canadian citizen, but who cares about them, right? No Canadian commentators and certainly not Carney nor anyone in Government. They are MUCH too busy thinking about US, over which they have no power.

    That’s it, man. If you believed anything, you would DO anything. Simple as that.

    Words that need to be retired?
    “It’s Happening! I pointed on this video clip and it broke me. Why did they keep this from you? This changes everything. They’re lying, what “they” won’t tell you, what you never learned about what everyone knows.” My nervous system feels vulnerable. These are the gaslighting, narcissistic red flags. I guess I’m mistaken: Words really CAN be violence and abuse. If I hear any of these one more time – especially the pointing thumbnail pic – I’m going to scream. I’m starting to get repulsive shudders just scrolling.

    “Central Bank Digital Currency is BANNED from ever being created in the United States.”

    Don’t get complacent: they can still make a Private CBDC and essentially arrange it has to be used. Bitcoin may not be that currency, but any other, XRP, even Tether, is available. Question isn’t the Name, but if it quacks like a Duck. Flock Cameras are “Private”. Didn’t seem to fix the problem, did it?

    “Bessent says maximum sanctions likely mean no major new military campaign for now.”

    But Ritter says we’re nuking them later this week! Again.

    “”Iran is unlikely to accept a situation in which it cannot export oil while other Gulf producers continue to do so.”

    Uhhh, Iran won’t happily sign up to being embargoed until the sun burns out while everyone sells and gets rich? Well I would say so!

    “Paradoxically, therefore, America’s relative operational success could become a driver of further Iranian escalation.”

    America is “successful” now? And Iran will “escalate” with what, exactly? Oh, they actually did NOT shoot back yet after 174 days and haven’t started, being totally restrained and all around swell guys when attacked like that. Not. These sentence construction demonstrates how deeply many lies are embedded in (all our) thinking.

    Nations don’t like wars against them. (No kidding) They’d shoot back if they could. (No kidding) Bigger stronger nations tend to prevail over smaller, weaker ones. (No kidding)
    CaptainObvious

    Yet it’s not a joke. There are so many lies that it needs to be said that a nation with an army has defeated the nation without an army, until finally, sadly, it sinks in.

    “the very strategy it is pursuing to achieve that goal may make renewed military escalation increasingly difficult to avoid.”

    Why? Oh, “Atlantic Council”, say no more. I believe the CIA and Globalists wherever they are found.

    “Washington has seemed to miscalculate and underestimate Tehran at every turn of this nearly 6-month long conflict.”

    I don’t think it was “Washington” (who?) that has miscalculated. I won’t even say Iran has. But the MEDIA did, being the most epic failure of understanding since Yellowcake. You “Just made up” what

    CNN/Inflation. Whenever the Poors get killed, CNN and Democrats are happy. When Black pepo have wages, they’re mad.

    ““she was among a select group of aides who accompanied him on a secret flight out of Turkey last month.” The press has been in high dudgeon ever since.”

    Again. “Boy are they mad!” She’s on every flight for years, what makes this one different? They actually thought they had Trump assassinated this time. Nothing else fits. They’re so mad the HATE bleeds over to everything else they see nearby. And you see, before this reaction I didn’t think much of it; THEY are the ones revealing their hand.

    ““The egregious sexist attacks on Natalie Harp are absolutely insane — and they’re coming from prestigious journalists. What is wrong with everyone?!”

    And as this article: they sure hate strong, working women! Almost More than blacks who get solid manufacturing jobs.

    “Again, I ask: what’s the point in welcoming in commie clowns who run amok?”

    I mean, if it’s not a rhetorical question then it’s because the Corporate NeoLiberals were cynically using them and screwing them hollow after. They intended to use the DSA to get into power, then shoot them all against the wall, and never have elections again. Duh.

    But this gets into what real “Communists” and “Socialists” actually are. The Clinton NeoLiberals, the DNC, ARE Socialists. …But “Socialism” as a ruthless, totalitarian, oligarchic state. THAT kind of Socialism is their goal, under Stalin, not the theoretical kind college kids like that has never been tried. This has been true since Ted Kennedy was young and fought for the USSR against the United States.

    So they ARE the same, you see, in a way. The DSA are the working Proles in Vladavostok, and the DNC/Clintons are the Central Committee and live in mansions on the Black Sea. Same “Socialism” but fantasy vs reality.

    “Organized Radical Islam has learned that it is not necessary to mount a frontal assault on our buildings or hijack our planes.”

    “Islam” can do nothing without wealthy oligarchs, Murdoch, Bezos, Singham. This has always been the case. The British Empire since 1850, the Muslim Brotherhood in 1930, but let’s not stick with UK and point out all Muslim trouble is the U.S. same oligarchs directing governments in Afghanistan, Bin Laden, Chechnya, etc. When was the last Islamic ruler operating independently of the “West”? Nassar and Attaturk? Ghadaffi?

    “Islam” is a front. Not that it isn’t dangerous, or incompatible with “European” values, but in themselves, there’s no issue of Islam in France and Spain at all: just have borders. Which all citizens want. Their governments do it in trampling, contemptuous violence of the peoples’ will.

    None of this is organic. Not one thing. There are no problems. At all. They are made up and implemented by force on us.

    “One woman claims he drugged and raped her in 2018.”

    Then this warrant makes little sense. As a judge I’d probably even deny it. Why now? What will they find in yesterday’s texts?

    “she was too intoxicated to consent in 2019 and then in 2024.”

    So she doesn’t remember if she consented or not? Sex with any intoxicated woman is illegal because they’re children like that? She didn’t know how not to drink out of control? And she was so alarmed by being “Raped” that she stayed with him and did the same thing a few years later? …I’m not saying this is always consent and it’s not bad, or can be, but you can see the problems here. Wtf.

    So THIS is what they want? Not treasonous bribery and mishandling records? Not a fan. I’m sure he’s committed thousands of felonies that are real and easy to prove by looking at his checkbook.

    “ICE, Iran quietly worked together on deporting Iranians to Iran, emails show” –CBS

    Iran is the most wonderful, prosperous, loving, peaceful, harmless, place on earth! How dare Trump return citizens to the nation of their birth? As the law requires and he would be impeached for refusing? This aggression will not stand!

    Man

    How dare Iranians live in Iran?

    “Gaza is **not just an economic failure**—it’s what happens when **economy, infrastructure, and freedom of movement are all simultaneously broken and kept that way.**

    Only GOVERNMENTS can “Keep it that way”. Left to their own devices, humans will solve it and it will end. They have to keep inputting massive energy at a dead loss. Normal humans don’t do this, it takes a committee.

    Iran as Gaza means we have to face the question, “Is Iran totally unharmed and stronger than ever?” Seems half the world claims so daily. If so, there is no harm and no Gaza there. If not, we are normal people and can ask this normal question. Also, this is a “war” and follows rules of war. Can they negotiate and surrender, etc? What were the terms? Just to not have nuclear weapons and threaten their neighbors? Then get rich AF in that state? Sounds pretty easy to take. In Gaza they essentially cannot surrender, that’s what makes it a genocide. This is not true that Iran can’t settle and not even claimed in Iran. The terms are “Don’t be a Dick.” That doesn’t make war a good thing, but it’s a pivotal difference.

    “Pepe Escobar: Trump Made a Move on Iran’s General—Tehran Just Wiped Out His Entire Strategy”

They seem the present (and somewhat incidental) epicenter of this. How about Korea? They will be second, although overlooked.

    “They tried to bomb Iran to death, says Prof Seyed Marandi, now they’re trying to starve us. But Iran is going on the attack. The only way this can end is if Trump carries out the agreed terms, including Israel out of Gaza and Lebanon”

    I was kidding, but apparently we really DO need to send Iran a definition of “What a War is.” Wow. Okay then. Iran is finally planning to, you know, maybe attack later next week after 170 days and having nothing left. Great plan. You’re military geniuses. “The only way this can end” appears to be with the complete unconditional surrender of the United States to Iran, which seems unlikely, especially now.

    Every aircraft carrier is floating so far. 90% of our military capacity remains intact. There have been no attacks on our nation so far. Every missile and jets parts factory is producing away. Every refinery is running fine. So far Gavin Newsom is a greater threat to us than Iran. Should we surrender to Gavin Newsom?

    This isn’t funny, but you have to get a hold of yourself and look at what’s actually going on. Cross check zooming in and obsessing with the larger field. We’re less harmed than Europe, who also hasn’t taken any military strikes from Iran.

    “That’s what happens when the system collapses”

    It means that WalMart is full, Olive Garden parking lot is packed, groceries and gas are widely available, jobs are widely available and wage are rising. The very DEFINITION of “Collapse”. Okay, maybe. But you’re not convincing me. You’re over 10 years old: you DO remember ‘08 right? When Money Markets froze overnight and therefore corporate payrolls froze, the paychecks being unable to be cut? THAT is the front edge of something threatening “Collapse” – and didn’t then either.

    “Richard Wolff & Michael Hudson:Trump Declares Most Crushing Economic Operation in US History on Iran”

    Promises, promises, Mr. Trump. HOW do you think you will do that? A: It’s not IRAN he’s after. That’s the secret. It’s not Iranian money he’s attacking.

    “Scott Ritter: Iran Orders Strike on EUROPE?! Trump Preparing NUCLEAR War”

    Scott: Trump nuked them on TACO Tuesday, about four weeks ago, don’t you remember? You and everyone on Fox News promised us all on a stack of Bibles. But ALSO that Trump had completely surrendered and the war was over, like 6-8 weeks ago. But ALSO that Iran won and is occupying the White House.

    Remember all those WoPo leaks for the LAST 4-10 years that were ALSO all proven wrong. So, totally true! This one time, the first time they’ve reported correctly! He TOTALLY said/planned this! Promise!

    “Trump Tried to BRIBE Iran.”

    Every nation bribes every official of every other nation even when there’s NOT a war going on. Look at FangFang. Murdoch and Bezos every day. Mossad and Epstein, not the sex part but the “Tradable Insider information” when the Prime Minister leaves critical meetings and phones Jeffy first to front-run. That’s “Bribery”, sir. Zionists donating to Massie’s campaign, same thing. So this is like saying “Fish drink water.” Yes. And tells a lot about the headspace of the speaker, who is as dangerously naive as a toddler. “But nobody bribes nobody, this is the first time ever.”

    “A Mass Panic began in KIEV: a 50,000-Strong North Korean Army entered UKRAINE and launched an ATTACK”

    I find this un-credible to believe, but go ahead and show me. 1) Forces can no longer mass anywhere in theatre. 2) I doubt there are 50k Koreans anywhere in Russia. 3) Why Koreans? Are Russians not scary anymore? Why not Martians?

    “guest Scott Ritter. America’s Secret Laws for Absolute Power”

    Clearly not working, as their very NEXT article is about how we have no power at all, Empire is collapsing, and we’re surrendering to a 3rd world nation with no air force or navy. Which is it? “We’re Up but also Down, Left is also Right. News at Eleven.” This is only now, at end of Empire? So Vietnam is a conspiracy theory? We won there? Our absolute power and prestige was shown in Iraq, 25 years ago? Or is something else entirely going on? Seems we lack this “Absolute Power” since, like forever, 1820 or something.

    “2. If you don’t want Trump’s way — who is proposing another way?
    A. Bipartisan Fiscal Commissions (Congress)**”

    These are the most concrete alternatives. They aim to stabilize debt through negotiated spending cuts + revenue changes.”

    We just did this and Trump then wasted no time on it. It’s called DOGE. We FOUND hundred-billion, maybe a trillion in fraud, most of it open and obvious, and it was widely publicized. CONGRESS DID NOTHING. We’re not talking “Cutting”, we’re talking “Stop open crimes.” If Congress can’t do this – which was obvious they wouldn’t – then there’s no such thing as “negotiated spending cuts + revenue changes.” It’s a fantasy.

    This is what happens when your government has been conquered by a hostile force and you’re a colony in your own lands. Congress is the Satraps of the Colonizing forces: Banks. …Roughly speaking. What is most of the “Debt”? A: Also owed to the same colonial banks and powers. Illegally, since it was put on illegally. By illegal, unelected governments. Bribery, by traitors, directed by foreign agents. We can repudiate any part, any area, or any amount of that debt, with a very strong legal case, but it has political consequences. It’s better to wait/cause Europe to collapse first.

    In addition, thanks to Government, Health Care is 5-10x what it should cost for no reason at all; in fact care is far, far worse than ever. So we could cut that back to 1990 levels (as % of GDP), double the quality, and use those trillions to pay off the debt. Easy as one. …Just one example.

    Why don’t we? A: We’re colonized and are fighting our Second War of Independence. As many say daily.

    “NATO’s Plans for Total Global Dominance & The Bunker State | Nel Bonilla

    There is no “NATO”. Problem solved. Trump fixed that and you’re welcome.

    What “Bunker state”? I missed this entirely in their discussion.

    I wouldn’t invest in this wandering interview. As an academic, all her premises are abstractions. Like, she actually has a random grab-bag of facts! So that’s a rare plus. But the facts make no coherence. “NATO is going to enforce…” How? How, Ma’am? NATO is broke and the combined NATO forces of Europe could be beaten by the Girls Scouts of Ohio. “NATO 2.0 moved out-of-zone” True, okay, I can accept that premise, but WHY? Who did that? It was totally illegal, so WHO decided this and why? “NATO demanded 3% increases (to bankroll projects)” No. “NATO” hadn’t paid their EXISTING dues for 25 years. So they weren’t “Increasing”. NATO 3.0 is run by the United States (they are European and incapable of acting or taking responsibility) who has STOPPED all payments and arms to NATO. So…what NATO? What United States? NATO has “Plans” — none of which has funding or has come to fruition in years. So, great. We all have Plans.

    Etc. So if you already have a broken worldview and don’t update it, then this is the interview for you. All hand-waving abstractions. Best example: “Is NATO a driver or a Node?” “NATO is a Node, and they are building other military nodes, like NATO, in other regions.” End. Guys? THEN WHO IS THE DRIVER? Boy, that seems like the story here! NATO is a puppet of no essential meaning according to you, so who is the mover? The first actor? A: They have no interest in this at all. They’re not dodging it: Doesn’t even occur to them to find out “What’s going on.” “NATO” is an “Institution” and an “Abstract word” is enough for them. I named it, so that’s done, I don’t need to understand it and act too! What do you take me for? I’m European! I criticize things, I don’t “Act” and “Do Work”! “Working” is for Peasants!

    We passively Opine on NATO, we don’t steer it!

    However, not a CIA agent for a change. And she had like a dozen facts in a hour – one every 10 minutes – so that’s a modest improvement.

    Trump Is Desperate to Save the Dollar Ponzi Scheme UNZ
    Which is why he’s backing the U.S. with productivity, oil, and gold — the #Opposite of a Ponzi. You’re a genius.

    But Dollar — suddenly! One day! — from 101 to almost 97. Gold up $200 in a pop. Etherium up 20% in an hour. Oil at $88 or something. This is a day-spike, but does it MEAN something? Probably. Probably they’re prepping for the Sept 22nd market crash, set up out of Japan to crush Europe. However, we will experience it too. And shift the US$ to the new Tether/gold basis, off the Ponzi basis. That causes ripples, same as when they put it ON, in 1974, or tried the financial coup in 2008.

    Speaking of doing coups for oligarchs: “Barack Hussein Obama said ‘I want this done,’ ” I want to overthrow the United States government. @CIADirector “All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated…”

    This is why I always trust the CIA, the FBI, and all the Experts, if they are headlined by globe-trotting oligarchs like Bezos and Murdoch. Yup. RussiaRussiaRussia. When have they ever lied?

    Starlink 11,000 satellites. We’re all going to die, aren’t we? There’s no escaping Skynet now.

    ““.. Kpler Says US Navy Gaining Ground In Hormuz ..”

    I mean, sure, but they can always get a few missiles. We already know England will sell hundreds to any Nazi regime they can find.

    Also in the article: Iran used Words. Lots of them! Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs… They did NOT use artillery and missiles though. I mean, two? Easily shot down? Maybe they weren’t even shot, maybe Iran lobbed them while having no more targeting gear to assemble them with. Who knows?

    But they’re not out of “Words” yet. Okay. Words are a renewable resource out your air hole.

    “• Iran’s Latest Warning Signals The Hardliners Are Just Getting Started (CNN)

    They also have a lot of “Signals”. They are signaling the f—k out of this puppy. Direct, hard, firm Signals. …And no bombs. Okay well “Men” and “Armies” ignore trash talk. Only little sissy girls and the Media (but I repeat myself) pretend that Talk = Violence. It’s not. Clue phone.

    Also, do they plan on ever attacking us sometime? I’m ridiculously disappointed in them. I mean, don’t they love us anymore? C’mon, there are MILLIONS of major unprotected targets in the U.S. and all U.S. so-called security is a joke. Can’t you PRETEND to care and hit at least ONE of them? Don’t let Trans-Furries out do you, Iran!

    Do we need to mail you the definition of “War” here? Trying to keep up general respect for the “enemy” but Iran makes it so, so hard.

    “A new generation of more maneuverable ballistic missiles with cluster warheads, plus innovative use of drones, indicates Iran has adapted tactics rapidly over recent months”

    This is true, but they have like TWO of them. Because they’re in blockade and depended on China and Russia who both bailed. So it wouldn’t matter if they had Jewish Space Lasers, if they can only get off one shot per month.

    However, the MEDIA is their army, and Lloyd’s of London is their Commander. What more do you need?

    “New energy routes would take years to build and come at a heavy cost, IRGC adviser Mohammad Reza Naqdi has told RT..” • Hormuz Can’t Be Replaced – Iranian General (RT)

    Sir? Time Exists. That fact is in the PAST, not the Future. We ALREADY re-routed, past tense. It’s over.

    Boy he’s got him some great WORDS though. The media lobs those WORDS daily.

    “The Strait of Hormuz “will not be opened,” Iranian warned on Tuesday,”

    Hundreds of ships are already transiting. Sooo…??? Discuss? Why would we want it opened faster? Only Europe needs it. Please never open it at all.

    “the evidence is clear: The United States, patrolling the strait with its navy, is gaining ground – and Iran is losing much of its control of the critical waterway.”

    This is probably true, day by day. Every day they have one fewer missile and boat to send. Without Russia and China, they’re screwed. So we can easily assume that Trump cut a deal beforehand in Alaska and at the China meeting. He doesn’t SEEM to have visibly given them anything, so they must not like Iran much either. Only the CIA and Media like them.

    ““We may win a few primaries, and I was delighted to see the Wisconsin outcome last week,” he said, “with the young fellow Crowley coming from behind.” El-Sayed, “only won by a very, very small amount,”

    It seems impossible both were not voter-fraud in a very, very clean and serious way. They had all the signs the DNC establishment dropped THOUSANDS of fake ballots at 3am – worse than any Joe Biden 3am spike. Yes, it’s easy to get in a position where the Party’s Base has to be radical to win…but the general population of your area would prevent them winning in the general. This is constantly true on all sides. A rabidly pro-life, pro-gun, pro-Christian Republican would carry the same risk.

    “A newly minted Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) member defeated a Democratic Party establishment favorite who outraised the socialist by 20-to-1.”

    Ta-dah! If I were Trump and Musk, I’d PAY them to do this.

    What do the DNC need to do? A: Have a platform and help people again. That’s it. That’s the magic. El-Sayed may be a nation-ending radical, but on the ground he’s just pitching wages and health care. …WHICH MEANS THE DEMOCRATS AREN’T. They are selling Orange Man Bad, because they have NO coherent ideas or policies at all, not even LYING. They’re like “Vote for me, you’ll get nothing!” DSA has the sense to LIE and PRETEND to offer something, which they’ll double-cross by giving you (no) Health Care in a bankrupt, Stalinist State.

    Anyway, this continues that Trump has no issues over Iran in the midterms. None.

    “eliminating “all of President Trump’s tariffs because they’re driving up costs.” That premise has a hole in it. Namely, the runaway inflation Democrats spent months promising the tariffs would trigger simply hasn’t shown up.”

    Yeah, I was just going to add. In fact, even WITH Iran gas prices, general inflation isn’t showing up, passing through (yet). It’s only gas as the one-hit. Inflation isn’t great, but it’s identical to the last 20 years. Way, WAY lower — almost flat — compared to Biden.

    “Axios — Dems Might Be Commies but Hey, They’re Sexy! (Stephen Kruiser)

    They’re the young, and the Left. They only live on Vibes. Never a fact to be found, because if you FEEL it enough, it just becomes true. Meta-contect of that Axios Insert Pic: That’s ‘I’m cheating on my boyfriend and would at the drop of a hat, that’s very cool,’ shows strong values of your in-group. Yup. True. And disavow. Stay away from anyone like this. This, btw, is how they got Justin Trudeau in, one of the worst, most racist, and catastrophic Prime Ministers of all time, with GDP going straight down, and women have yet to take responsibility for it.

    Their argument – because I talk to them and ask – is that Republicans would vote for Sarah Palin just because she’s hot, so it’s just what we’re doing! 1) Ew, my God, no. 2) Even people who think she’s attractive, vote her platform, this literally doesn’t happen. 3) What do you think men are? 4) If this is bad — very bad! — why is it not bad when you do it? 5) Also the Media made all this up on TikTok, Sarah Palin or whoever is not really a Thing. That’s not “Reality”, woman, it’s 8th grade girls-table stuff. No one actually behaves that way. But it is to them!!!

    But they did to elect Justin! Put him over the edge. But there’s no Canadian Politics anyway, it’s all “Selection”, as we see with Poilievre, and Carney being air-dropped in like an alien-squiddy. This has happened most of my life that none of the Prime Ministers seem duly elected, each one part of a back-room arrangement in defiance of the voters. Even before Malrooney.

    But I’m waiting for answers on how Canada should best be saved, as well as productive plans on how the U.S. should act.

    ““At the same time that Fang was fundraising for Swalwell and sleeping with him, by his own admission, the files show that the FBI knew Fang was tied to China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS), Beijing’s notorious intelligence service ..”

    The FBI refused to release this – and save U.S. national security in any way – because “Congressmen would be indicated.” Oh, Great! So there are so, so many OTHER Congressmen doing the same thing, it might embarrass them, and you’d rather have spies in Feinstein’s office every day instead? Go on, tell me all about this!

    Thankfully just them. Oh wait, no: the NSA said the same thing yesterday, they had EVERY record that the 2020 election was compromised, REFUSED TO GIVE THE INTEL. Why? Because their one and only job is to CREATE Intel docs. But the only customer of the Intel Docs is the President, their boss and direct-report. So they “decided” not to tell him. Because it would be embarrassing, and ya know, saving the country MIGHT make them LOOK partisan and political. So they’d rather make Intel Docs and not let anyone read them. No one at all. Put them under a basket. Totally logical.

    THAT’S NOT ALL! But wait, there’s more! So AFTER that election, THEN you release the docs, the truth, to the NEW (possibly erroneous) President and boss. But they felt Biden wouldn’t want that, you know, reading his mind and “Not being political” again, so they ALSO didn’t release them.

    Then there was a Congressional Midterm, and it was an election, so they didn’t release them.

    Then it was a Presidential election, 4 years later, and they couldn’t release them.

    Then they’d dragged their feet so long, it was embarrassing, and looked political again, and couldn’t release them.

    …You getting the picture here? Where “Experts”, “Government” had ONE JOB, and couldn’t do it? At millions and millions and millions spent, with all of Congress and the nation at stake, but ya know, middle-manager zoom conferences, couldn’t make a decision.

    Here’s the deal: Your job is to make Intel Docs … FOR SOMEBODY. Whatever is in them, too bad. That’s your ONE Job. If you miss that, 1) everyone should be summarily fired but 2) Too bad for you. You had ONE Job, now you need to release them the second the first problem comes to your attention, that they weren’t released yesterday, when they should have been. That’s the new least-bad situation. 3) If it’s now a year from now, and not released, see #2, where TODAY is still the least-bad release date, whether you look partisan or political or not, you’re DEFINITELY going to look untrustworthy and compromised with each additional day that passes. 4) If that doesn’t happen, refer to #2 and #3, as every day ups the problem by a few percent.

    And here we are. STILL Not released, the NSA looks so corrupt now they should be disbanded, turning a tiny bureaucratic pothole into a department and nation-ending crisis. Now it’s not released by them, but IS leaked in the news, with all their 5 years of daily internal dialogue and excuses about how “Now is not a good time”(to do our jobs) while the Republic falls and the American people are battered. While you make 6-figures and the average wage is $36,000.

    So. FBI: can’t be trusted, allow all treason. CIA: can’t be trusted, Plans and Executes all Treason. NSA: can’t be trusted, hides all Treason. That’s why when they’re on Fox News, I believe their every word.

    But we have a solution: More Government. That’ll fix’r.

    And his all started with Swawell, where they could have just pitched him overboard and kept all the rest of the treasonous rats in place. Nope. Eventually 99% corruption is not enough, you need it to be 100%

    Being politicians, 1) I can’t stand them 2) He doesn’t say anything useful in the first 10 minutes so ff. But this is an official publicly stating her office will never be prosecuting any crimes. I image that’s not accurate. I imagine like UK they will jail tweets longer than rapists, and like Ontario, aggressively arrest anyone who defends themselves against armed burglars.

    But one example. There are so many thousands, it’s hardly worth keeping track of them. Both SAID, and quite obviously enacted, as the $999 and it’s free law in California, or “It’s legal to light police cars on fire” in NYC.

    What’s with the triumphalism? He never denied it nor anyone back to Bernanke. Um, yes, OF COURSE he said this. And beyond that Holy Duh, WE ARE GOING BACK ON A GOLD STANDARD. That’s WHY he said it. Now that’s in stages, but the way off the Triffin’s Paradox, gutting, Empire, crazy-train is to RE-PEG your currency, like Germany did, also after the war, or France under Napoleon. Boom: prosperity in mere months. All crazy things including cross-dressing Jazz Flapper girls on heroin in Berlin, all gone overnight.

    So they SAY we can ONLY collapse, Simplicius, (although that takes 250 years) we can ONLY get into a war, Thucydides Trap, sir, which itself is made-up history to CLAIM this false end. “It’s inevitable, Mr. Anderson”. No. It is not. You can just RESTORE HONESTY. That’s it. That’s the magic. You can just enforce the law and rout out fraud. You’re just TRYING to collapse the nation and kill everyone, WANT it with all your heart, every drop of blood in your body, when we can just not, actually, and live normal and prosperous instead for no work at all.

    The gold standard does that at a very high level, and we are not only doing that, with tariffs, with Tether stable coins, with productive capacity, one slice at a time, getting back on track to the “American System” of Hamilton. And not defaulting. As he had far greater problems in 1789 than we do today, and flipped it overnight. We were crushing Europe in only 30 years, with the opening of the Erie Canal.

    I’m glad we trust the polls since their amazing success since 2016, their being 20 points wrong in the MI Congressional primary yesterday, and where two different houses have Trump listed at 45% and 25% at the same time. Nothing says “accurate science” like that. Okay man. Do Americans like the war? No they do not. But they also don’t understand and care.

But because they’re power-grubbing scumbags, the minute they kill all of us, they’ll turn on each other. It’s just that killing us is first. One SHOULD be surprised at “Gays for Gaza” and other ninny-headed nonsense, but historically this is a given.

    And they were promoting CIA-Oligarch talking points, against the group cutting their power and going their ox? I’ve never heard the like.

    PS. After The Invasion of Iraq, I always listened to Fox News and the CIA as reasonable, competent adults. Totally peace-minded, as George Bush proved.

    Ummm. Huh? You act like that’s a bad thing, a failure. Why? Rates are near-zero, at the subfloor of the 100 year long term average. They should be 8% or more. And we’re in a good economy, I hear? That’s what I see. So they should have been hiked years ago as a normal average event. Any Fed governor from 1913 to now would have cranked rates up to 8% YEARS before now.

    Sooo…you think the economy is a fraud? Your data is a Fraud? The Fed is a fraud? Which? Because this headline makes no sense. That’s with the same people saying oil price inflation should mean Interest rates are 12, 18, 22% ! So raising would be doing what you want!

    So they don’t believe what they believe at all. Now in reality? The underlying structure has changed. The only reason you ever wanted abnormally low rates IS TO MOVE THE WEALTH OF THE WORKERS TO FINANCIAL SPECULATORS. Yeah, we’re against that. ALSO TO ROB SAVERS, and make them learn to never save (so you can complain about their $5 Lattes and spendy ways later). Against that too. That’s why central banks exist, to steal; or now anyway.

    But in the NEW structure, the U.S. — which has a thing called “an economy” – can tolerate 8% rates, 50% higher, but EUROPE CANNOT. This is a problem for them, not us. THEY will collapse, not us. And we will eat their lunch, both in the economic punishment, AND the capital flows from a crisis area, to a normal area. Exactly what Europe did to the Emerging Markets for 60 years.

    Btw, that’s to some cruel punishment we’ve arranged for them. 8% is a normal rate there too, and they’re still near zero, getting choked out. They ALSO need to kill their financial speculation and re-capitalize their hard work. Like you think Italians and Germans are bad at building things? Although they’re behind us in time, they still CAN do that, just as we did/are. There’s no punishment we’re not assigning, no medicine we’re not also taking. They’re just being stupid and suicidal in defense of the ultra-uber rich.

    So ZeroHedge here is laying down their lives to protect extractive colonialists who destroyed the U.S. and the ultra-wealthy globalists. Good show.

    But raise rates? Help the U.S. industry, workers, and savers. Destroys financiers and globalists. Up to a limit of course. Bending rates creates winners and losers over a market rate. Imagine if Home Depot had to borrow at the same rate as Joe’s Hardware. Imagine if you borrowed at 10% to buy human-replacing robots instead of the purchase of robots being free. Winners and losers. And we’re pretty tired of it.

    “Saudis Offer To Sell Oil Near Oman, A Sign They’re Sailing Dark Through Hormuz

    Hey Larry! Looking to add to constantly daily proof millions of barrels are transiting daily, slowly raising the shipping up near pre-war levels. And thus no crisis. How would we cross-check this? World Oil price is $84. Nowhere near high when they are clearly trying everything they can think of to make a mess. Everything.

    What else? No bombs. Yemen is closing the sea, Iran is trying to make a halt with their jabber, not with ballistic missiles. If they could sink a Navy ship, HAD missiles, they would use them. So proof they do not. No doubt they have something, but they are very, very badly decayed. This does not mean they have to move or collapse though. They can remain inert and just rot for years, decades even. While everyone else sells, builds, advances. I expect they will.

    Aquinas. Peoples are just different. That’s fine. Not everybody needs to be “white”,(whatever that means) but they have a right to exist and build working cities if they want to. That’s their weirdo culture. Others have their different, equally weirdo cultures. This is taken up by Sargon weekly, as someone who says “Israel has a right to exist and the Jews have a homeland” – a Minister in British government, Labour Party, ‘natch – then says “English and Welsh and Scots do NOT have a right to exist, NOR to have a remaining homeland. That’s raycisss.” So Anglos are the only peoples on earth who may NOT have a place to live according to their form and character. Only them.

    See “Birmingham”, above. That is not according to English character, which picks up trash and washes roadsides, an activity all immigrants are equally able to do.

    So back to Cuetas. 5 Days of non-Spanish and it’s a s—thole. Because that’s their culture, for whatever reason. That’s fine, that’s their nation, just don’t bring it here, it’s not mine. That’s why we have peoples, nations, and sovereignty, as Aquinas says.

    “Trump just doubled down on plans to declare the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory, calling it “a great idea.”

    Making people think. He would need Congress, so no. The Strait is also water not land, so ??? Oman becomes the 51st state? I suspect Shiria is not compatible with Federal Law. But as a point of discussion, it’s working great.

    “Oil spiking amid a hodgepodge of more ‘bad news’ Hormuz headlines,”

    As yesterday, oil is not “Spiking”. It’s down 30% and is well within average. Reporters just say things, whatever comes into their adorable little heads.

    “He confirmed “we are not fully back to full oil flow in the Middle East,”

    No, but isn’t it like 80% already, and Iran has fewer missiles to throw at it daily?

    “But [Trump] insisted that he was in no rush to end the conflict” Because it’s 80% open already and completely irrelevant now? Sir?

    Nope. “[Trump] has lost significant control of and which has hurt his political support ahead of US midterm elections in November,”

    Yeah, 80% open in 100 days is not “Losing significant control of”. Trump is in no danger for the Midterms over this anyway. Both of these are open, consensus facts. Reporter “Just make up” that it’s not, or that $77 oil is high. They write fiction of whatever they want to be true, and are so far gone, they don’t even THINK about actual reality, never contact or refer to it in any meaningful way. They don’t even have a hazy understanding that they ought to. Reality is whatever they made up last.

    ““They’re not really negotiating at this point. They are simply making assertions and hoping the other side backs down,”

    This is a revelation as it’s generally reported that whatever the United States says is some dumb assertion and whatever Iran says is the literal truth. But I’m sure he’s an outlier and they’ll send him “The Memo” to get in line.

    “He said Washington’s only remaining military option would be to “open the [Strait of Hormuz] and use force to basically protect shipping going through it”, which would require naval and air forces to actively defend commercial traffic, something Washington has so far avoided.”

    We’re literally doing this every day for 2-4 weeks. The thing we can’t do is the thing we’ve been provably doing for a month. You’re a genius. Because we’re having no trouble doing this, we need to surrender to Yemen, a nation smaller and less relevant than Rhode Island.

    You know, last I looked, Iran had not landed on the Potomac. Yemen is not occupying the Pentagon. …I mean beside the usual Larry Johnsons and Colonel MacGregors who seat them there.

    “n addition to a variety of anti-Semitic figures within its ranks, the DSA wants to get rid of the presidency, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and other institutions (as well as borders, immigration enforcement, and much of private property).

And so is Sharia, although that one is more meandering? People only think you do this because you’re losing losers who want power. Power that is clearly not begin given to you by the people voluntarily. That is, you’re all cheaters. America doesn’t like either core losers, or cheaters.

    “• US Manufacturing Activity Hits 4-Year High (JTN)

    As I’ve said, we’ve already nailed it. We are a net oil exporter, making bank daily esp from Hormuz. This continues to expand nicely. We are a huge food exporter, while Holland has shuttered every farm in a famine, population explosion, and high price crisis. We remain 25% of world GDP same as 1970, despite the savage beating we’ve taken.* And now we’re going to double manufacturing in just a few years, already happening.

    * I wouldn’t go nuts with the GDP numbers, which is Purchase-Price Parity issues, and stock-and-bond kiting. However, that it’s the same as after WWII still is very illuminating, and it’s easy to swap bond-kiting scams with real work. Compare, cross-check, with last week that Europe makes more money TAXING U.S. companies than their own European companies make. THAT, is how bad they suck. How do you even accomplish that? I would have said that’s impossible. Yet the EuroCommies managed it. Again.

    “The creation of the EU was the cunning move by insiders, engineered by the CIA, to transfer all decision-making powers to unelected dictators in Brussels. These now step up their treason by handing controls to Israel.
    ”
    I’m totally on board with that theory, but who is “The CIA”? Jack Ryan? I don’t think so. We are all well aware that CIA/MI6/Mossad, and several others are one, seamless organization, “SPECTRE” or Hydra. They are death-cult Globalists, the Fabian Socialists and the like, outgrowth of centuries. That is, you can’t say it’s “The CIA” while MI6 had no idea, no involvement, and all Europe was a helpless victim. No, Europe was if anything, the head of this plan, with core minority positioning tirelessly to help. Help be the Seat of the Expected one-world government, run out of Europe. Why not? It’s POWER, of course they did. And in that sense, they directed their CIA-People, club-members to use US money to make up and run this op. And their MI6-placed people. And their Interpol People. And their Gladio people, especially. And their UBS, Seimens, Exxon people. And John Major, taking out Thatcher at their command. It’s one big Club. All the same group.

    So when you say “CIA” this is what I hear. Not “America” or “Americans”. But those Globalists, running this Op, using our money and over our dead bodies. Against every will and principle of almost all Americans. …Or even Europeans for that matter: remember, even after 20 years of propaganda, they all voted against referendums for the EU. The Democratic EU then ignored them in classic Soviet fashion.

    Israel/Gaza etc: I don’t mention it because what’s to say? I know. Same as all days of my life. However, if you want to quit goofing off and fooling around and organize to bomb, invade, occupy, and stop Israel then you have my attention. Any nation is welcome to go do that, you know.

    “Record Ground Beef Prices May Finally Be Breaking Consumer Demand

    I only just paid $3.99 for quite good Porterhouse steaks, although admittedly, hamburger is high at $5.99. I mean: put the ONE steak into grinder and it’s $3.99 hamburger, right? Still, I think you could chart it since 1960 and find $5.99 is very cheap. Over 100 or 1,000 years, it’s probably 1/10th and more of long-term food averages. So if your area is not like this, go talk to your Congressman, your Governor, and your Premier and ask why they’ve been shutting down every small farm, butcher, import, and other for 30 years. I have heard Canada along has 200% tariffs on some American food then complain prices are high. If you want to eat rye and maple sugar that’s fine, but don’t complain after. It’s not the war doing that.

    Same with Gas in CA or NY. Mostly taxes. On the Rural people, the poors. On the farmers and on food. Surprise.

    ““For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline,” — Trump

    He’s failing at this messaging, and it’s not the media. Yes the media is lyign and making the most of it, but it’s an unforced error. Get Leavitt or Miller and start saying what’s really going on: Sure, nukes, but bhe Strait is removed as a warzone for all time. Get Iran’s many quotes about how they can, or have 11 nukes now out daily.

    I hear two of the normal, average podcast dummies yucking it up about Iran having nuclear weapons (Armstrong and someone) because “Iran 3 hours from a nuclear weapon for 39 years” – Netanyahu. Guys: Iran SAID they had refined adequate uranium to the required level, where they did indeed have a nuclear bomb or could have one in 30 days. That’s IRAN’s report. That’s OFFICIAL legal, consensus reality. And they’re laughing as if anyone who believes the UN legal record and Iran’s own press releases is an idiot. No, sirs, YOU are the idiot. At that time they officially said they had at least that much. Any normal person would assume if that’s what they’re admitting, like all militaries, they have a little more.

    Such is the magic of Propaganda, repeating nonsense for years. As Bezmanov said, then they can walk you right into the slaughterhouse and you’ll deny your own reason and the vision of your eyes.

    Anyway, for whatever reason, Trump is on a colossal failure on this front, when he’s often so good at media. It will hardly matter, and if they thought he would win and was secure, they’d just release smallpox or something so be grateful. I thought he was exaggerating, because I don’t have this problem, and also underestimated it by 10x until Covid.

    “President Trump just STUNNED THE WORLD after Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan enter a new agreement”

    Armstrong and the Podcast likewise said all nations in Middle East signing peace deals was a failure, and BAD for peace. Whut?

    That the U.S. wasn’t involved was a terrible sign, instead of good for their autonomy and our leaving. They are all still allies of the U.S. that part wasn’t affected at all, they are just doing their own deals like NORMAL countries. This was unthinkable to them, and therefore Peace R Bad m’kay? Huh? Huh, huh, and what the huh?

    Why? HATE ORANGE MAN. And Armstrong doesn’t as a personal thing, he’s just picking it up from the air around him, as usual saying “I have no idea what Trump is doing” …so I won’t bother to think, ask, or find out, just assume, then ell you my expert opinion on it when I just said I dunno. The White House does issue Press Releases you know. That I pay for. Might go read them.

    Spain’s PM has ‘culturally enriched’ Ceuta, Spain, import the Third World Become the Third World…”

    What can you say to this? And U.S. crime stats plummet (yet another reason to hate Orange man) because when 2 million criminals from 3rd world crime areas leave, there’s less crime? Who could understand these mysterious ways.
    This goes with the Left, who is a Babylon Bee skit every day.

    Okay, for the slow in the back, what’s the meta-assumption the Left have here, as a core, foundational belief? A: That if all the white people leave, the earth that remains would be a s–ithole.

    And if all the White People come back?

    I’m not the one saying this: THEY are. Wherever White people go, Aztec human sacrifice and slavery drops. Cities are built and run with “Electricity”. If you remove that (as present conditions in South Africa demonstrate), roads, rails, cities, electric, jobs, all vanish in exact proportion. White South Africans have now retired to small walled, enclave towns, which once again have roads, houses, fences, power. This was always an identically-available option to the surrounding people, who were welcome to do the very same things. They did not.

    Now whatever REASON that is, and whether you prefer leveling mountains to pave roads, it’s pretty clear this is the case.

    Go on, keep talking. This is fascinating.

    We deploy an aircraft carrier that is already there and in normal rotation out of the existing one. IIRC, we generally have one (two) there, it’s expensive, and we’d like to save money by leaving and handing it all to the locals. Alistair is unaware of what an “Aircraft Carrier” is. Ah. Well, it’s only been the same since 1930, so I can see why he doesn’t understand yet.

    “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it” — Upton Sinclair

    Alistair is paid by MI6, why, the most trustworthy people on the planet! His word is gold!

    “Trump: 9 Months At Sea For USS Lincoln ‘Not Nearly Long Enough’

    Hilarious. And makes everyone chase their tails, bark at the moon, and be distracted from what he’s really doing. They are SO. DUMB. after 11 years they still fall for it Every. Time.

    “If 47 years of sanctions haven’t broken Tehran’s will, more of the same is unlikely to produce any changes,” according to a Bloomberg Economics report led by Jennifer Welch.

    “The Straits will never go back to normal.” Bessant: “That’s right. They will be fundamentally changed. We don’t want them back to normal.”(paraphrase) They will be just another body of water and already are. This goes with discussions – glad to see I’m not the only one – of Hundreds of ships transiting vs zero. Because transponders. But the volume of oil AT THE WELL HEAD can’t be gamed, and that is almost to previous levels. …Iran excluded of course, since they’re in mostly blockade.

    So again, it seems Hormuz is irrelevant, even ahead of schedule.

    “War On Iran: Six Months Later – The Astonishing Size Of The U.S. Defeat”

    That in only 6 months, Iran has been leveled and the Strait made irrelevant. While oil price is low. Some defeat.
    “We Just Say Things”

    Also, Rich keeps bringing this up, yes there is a media control in Iran, but Iran shows NO pictures of themselves. That is, PR releases of us blowing up apartments and grocery stores. None. Why? You can be 100% sure they would show them if we were doing that, right? In fact ANY civilian tragedy would be Front Page, as you see, 99% of all reporters are Pro-Iran, they’ll literally say anything.

    Okay, likewise, “The U.S. is losing” and Tehran is a happy place, having street fairs daily. Pictures, fake or real, headlining how irrelevant U.S. attacks are. We all know every “western” media would front page them as a demonstration of Trump losing. …But they don’t. No pics at all of how normal and prosperous Iran is despite our futile attempts. Explain?

    That leaves Scenario Three: We are ONLY hitting the IRGC, so they can’t find Gaza-like genocides to print. And the nation is completely locked down and miserable, barely moving, like Afghanistan, and the leaders don’t want anyone to see how dismal it is.
    Or else what? Iran is fighting our PR battle FOR us? And the media, they’re reduced to reporting on Aircraft carriers? That’s the best they can find? Are you kidding me?

    NO PICTURES FOR MONTHS. Why? REPORTERS DON’T CARE IF IRANIANS DIE, that’s why. They don’t care what happens in the country. At all. Ever. Never have. That’s why they TACO every day and demand Trump bomb Iran.

    If they could hurt Trump by helping every Iranian, they would do it.

    And if they could hurt Trump by KILLING every Iranian on earth, they would do it.

    Does anyone even doubt the truth of that statement? But that only goes to show, they don’t care about any Iranian, ever, any Iranian children or cabbies, ever, or Iran as a nation, ever. They only want to Hurt Trump, and if every Iranian has to die to do that, so be it.

    Or so I hear here daily. Otherwise, you’d ask questions and post videos of IRAN sometimes. At least once. Instead of videos about sum dum guy TRUMP 100x a day. TRUMP is what’s in your mind, not Peace, not once, ever. HATE is your driving force, not Peace. You get what you pay attention to. You pay attention and empower dum-dum, you ignore and disempower your own ability, prosperity, and peace. And you are getting the fruits of your labor-attention. Focus on the happy, prosperous end-state you envision. Ignore the noise.

    “not all the oil authorized in the SPR loan contracts has actually been taken.”

    That is, remember Bessant? “Why did you bail out Argentina?” — Idiot Reporters “I didn’t bail out Argentina, we gave them a loan, which they then paid back with interest.” Reporters are just illiterate glue-sniffers, and also pathological liars.

    Same here: It’s in the details, but the Petroleum reserve was NOT sold. It was loaned to U.S. Oil Majors. That oil has to come back, as listed here, and at a profit. Now I would have to dig in and see if the oil even LEFT the tank, or was just used to back oil contracts, and if so, can the majors get that oil back in time and are the pipes big enough. But it would seem the gas gauge on the car is inaccurate. Either just wrong, or we took the gas, put it in a 5-gallon in the trunk, and it’s still right here.

    Is that TRUE? Well point of fact the first part is definitely true, I won’t claim the second part that they can return it in time, but seems very odd they would do that and just fail contract outright. As gameplay that makes no sense, so I would THINK they can get it back home in time.

    This is public, but also not headlined, so. Trump doesn’t mind/care if everyone thinks it’s missing, SPR is empty, which is very interesting. Such is the screaming, but also the $4/gal vs $77/bbl which is way off. I think it was near $3 last time oil was $77. …Meaning oil companies can probably drop it there if they wanna, overnight.

    “there is zero evidence whatsoever to support that 8M barrels per day are transiting via the Omani Route, and zero evidence that 9 mbpd is exiting the Strait of Hormuz per day. Zero.”

    Crooke? Mr. MI6 spokesperson? THE $77 DOLLAR OIL PRICE IS YOUR EVIDENCE. I mean, ASIDE from all kinds of very official people are saying that millions in oil is transiting. But you wanted evidence. Did like 300M humans vanish from the planet, and that’s why they’re no longer using oil? No. Then that oil is getting to them.

    Easy as counting to Two.

    This is too hard for Globalists and the Derp State like Alistair.

    “Trump’s pivot to economic pressure as the key to Iranian capitulation is not a credible strategy.”

    Yes, because IRAN is not who we are blockading and pressuring. It’s YOU. MI6. And you know that. The pressure MIGHT work, but that’s not really the goal here. The goal is the OIL REVENUE, not the Iranian people. That Oil Revenue is banked in London, not Tehran. He many not be able to cut off Tehran, but Bessant can sure cut off illegal terrorist banking in the Western Economic Banking System! I mean, unless you want to fight him and have everyone on earth know that YOU are really the only ones backing the IRGC. That’s fine too – go ahead and admit the only reason the IRGC exists is because they can move multi-billions worldwide to Colombian drug and training facilities, to Hamas, and back to China, using LONDON shadow-banking, for which you’re soaking the Iranian people hollow. Go ahead and tell us all. It’ll be cathartic.

    Because that IS happening, it has to be happening, and MI6 Alistair seems to claim we have a Iranian man in a speedo, swimming gold coins to UAE, a donkey and a saddlebag moving those billions to Turkey. No. That is definitely NOT what is happening, or ever has. It’s going through a BANKING system. A very, very, very, very LARGE banking system. The only banking system in existence. The GLOBALIST banking system.

    Bessant is attacking ENGLAND, and GLOBALISTS, not Iran. You’re right: he may not be able to attack Iran. They’re bunkered up. But he can attack YOU, in Zurich. You have to have a working checkbook or you can’t pay your bodyguards and castle servant staff. You can’t hide.

    Prof. Steve Hanke: Trump Unleashes Historic Economic Pressure—Iran Says “Bring It On”

    I would say so, since that pressure isn’t on Iran (sort of). It’s on London. “Why don’t you and him fight?”

    “Seyed M. Marandi: US on Imminent Attack Alert”

    But you said we lost and Trump surrendered completely only 30 days ago! What gives?

    “Larry Johnson: Iran’s FINAL Play in Hormuz- Israel Attack FALLS APART- Yemen Flipped the Script”

    Okay Larry. This is the 42nd time the last thing has done, and Trump surrendered 110 days ago you said. So it Iran does anything else after this “Final Play”, I’m coming for you. Otherwise, it’s not “Final”, is it? You’re just lying and making everything up.
    I always look to the CIA to decide who is moral and who to vote for. Thanks, Larry. That you hate Trump is the best recommendation I can have.

    “Trump to soon declare Hormuz as American territory. PRAVIN SAWHNEY”

    Hilarious. I suspect Oman and Saudi will decline to sign onto this plan. However, according to everyone, America has been an Empire, and therefore we’ve owned it for 80 years up to now. So which is it? Are we that Empire and owned it all along? Or not? Pick one. If you say we USED to own it, that’s fine, but that changes the statement doesn’t it?

    “IRAN CEASEFIRE SET TO “EXPIRE” ON MONDAY, SITUATION STATIC – w/ Elijah Magnier

    I wouldn’t fret yourself, clearly we’ve never had a ceasefire, and won’t have one this time either. Iran proves Trump right daily on this.

    “Iran has reportedly given Washington a matter of days — not weeks — to change course on the Strait of Hormuz,”

    Or else what? The Strait already has no geostrategic purpose. Keep it closed, I could care less.

    “West Despairs At Kiev Lack Of AD”

    There is no “West”. WE, in America, don’t despair about Kiev at all. Clearly. Nor all of Europe, actually. I could care less if they have Air Defense or what happens there. Figure it out. That’s what “Not Empire” means.

    “Iran’s Warning: 2k ATTACK Boats Are Waiting”

    They’re just waiting 160 days to use them to LURE us in. Once Hiroshima happens, THEN Japan will activate the Navy. Make sense? That’s what you/they’re saying here. When there’s only two Iranians left alive, THEN we’re going to jump into action!

    “Michael Hudson: Trump Is Desperate To Save The Dollar Ponzi Scheme | GEH W/ Radhika Desai”

    Quite the Opposite on every possible front. The U.S. dollar is in no danger at all right now, clearly. Also we are transitioning it back one level, toward real collateral and the Gold Standard. So if you mean the #OPPOSITE of everything you say, then yes.

    We are desperate to get OUT of the Ponzi scheme self-same globalist forced on us, from Vietnam overspending, and killing Kennedy. And BACK on a U.S. gold standard where we make-and-do things, which apparently U.S. manufacturing is recovering at an amazing pace, far faster than I expected. I mean, look at Helium and Chips. So having that as backing, we have no problem at all merely undoing Nixon’s 1971 and going back ON a standard, and OFF the Ponzi, while demand for US$ is amazingly strong worldwide. Easy as falling off a log.

    Why? Because Prosperity = WORK. A thing they forgot. We are willing to do WORK, were always willing to work, and there’s no ponzi when you do WORK and provide actual product and not financial promises and speculation. You might notice.

    Today:
    “Like someone’s trying to destroy England”. Okay, WHY? They are just as feverishly shutting off any and all food they can find, and all energy. I’m not a genius, but I suspect if you’re in England when this happens, it’s going to be inevitable mass-murder where the locals chuck the new arrivals out. In a messy and extremely violent way. That “crime” is being necessitated by these Insiders right now, with full and open pre-meditation.

    The “Criminals” later will be victims of BoJo, Starmer, and this-guy-so-irrelevant-can’t-remember-his-name.

    Then they’ll run a guilt operation on THOSE GUYS’ CHILDREN. Dad, why did you kill to preserve England and to survive long enough I was born??? Waaaaaah….!!! It’s way more moral to do nothing and die, you fiend!

    The Truth that this was all planned and pre-meditated by criminals with names and addresses can fix both problems.

    ...That is who Bessant is attacking in “Iran Sanctions”. Not Iran.

    “These methods are not secondary to the ideologies’ goals of acquiring total power. Instead, they are the practical means”

    The Ends Justify the Means. The means is “Always lying”. If you lie constantly and instinctively, you’re the side of the angels.

    “• ‘Woke 2.0’ Will Be More Radical, More Antisemitic, Less Tolerant (Rick Moran)

    We’ll see. But if they firebomb the election, then riot after, we’ll have solid proof. Since they’re 1:1 the same people, how is 2.0 any different from 1.0? How would that even be possible?

    P.S. Podium “Fight Oligarchy”, from a woman placed into power by hidden backers ,whose first act was to support billionaire insider-trader Nancy Pelosi, then to fight for the power of Zucker to censor, and the profits of Tyson with immigration, finishing up with fighting to the death for Pfizer and a State-Corporate merger. This runs straight through to today. She’s the ultimate in defending Oligarchy. She does it for the money, becoming a millionaire, while Trump lost $4B.

    “The pattern is unmistakable: a country in visible decline, where the basics are abandoned while public money flows to ideologically driven schemes.”

    Yes, it’s called “Fraud and corruption” and it’s bad everywhere it’s found. There’s plenty of “money” because money is just “Work”.
    Nice the guy is washing roadsigns, but remember that 100 x 30 meter illegal tipping into the river? Yes, without police, none of this will matter. And the police have plenty of “Money”, they are just arresting housewives chatting online and people praying in their own houses.

    “The West’s silence”

    Ah, so they’re NOT silent. Next sentence is Vance read them the riot act to stop. Huh. Pretty funny for a “West” who is also attacking them. It’s almost as if the United States isn’t the “West” and is actively against Europe.

    “What the [Fauci] diaries reveal”

    That he loved miscarriages, and dead babies. He actively killed tens of thousands at stages, which if born (let’s say month 8) would make him the greatest murderer in world history, outdoing Mengele by a factor of ten. He then killed all the mothers, where they are infertile. Missed the name here but like Billionaire’s wife then had Seven miscarriages. Seven. Fauci did that. To hundreds of thousands of women (and their men). Then laughed. 200,000 women, 5-7 miscarriages = 1 Million.

    Yup. But ain’t nobody mad. Not mad enough to arrest him in a court of law where he can explain.

    By the way, Everybody knew. We shouted from the rooftops, telling them.

    GigaFactory: Another irreplaceable forest being permanently paved over. Why not use central Detroit or Akron? They’re already blighted wastelands and not virgin territory.

    To make the ugliest products, in the ugliest factory I’ve ever seen. It might make sense if we even needed anything they make. Unlike say, car tires, we don’t. It’s a dead loss.

    “Iran Closed The Strait of Hormuz – And Nothing Happened” – Ace, CryptoRich. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AAeFaq4wrMs

    Well, that remains to be seen, but…yes. Every day the % risk drops until it’s zero. And during that time the U.S. gets paid. This wanders around but they cover how many ships are transiting. Which seems in dispute, some say 3 and some say hundreds. I think they’re obviously turning off their transponders and one side (Reporters) refuse to report correctly. It’s also not closed by Iran but Lloyds of London, as we say constantly. If you’re Maersk, you can’t really afford to be blacklisted by Lloyd’s while elephants are still fighting. Taking U.S. insurance is taking sides and your ships will be sunk in terrible boating accidents if Russia is any indication. Then the LNG is shut in, as dangerous floating bomb-ships. Yes, and the U.S. took almost 100% of that market. There are solid containers, many of which are let through. So their TL;DR is the strait is closed like 40% of previous. And the world has re-routed like 50% of the needs there, with pipelines being built at a lightning pace. So as of now, ALREADY the strait has no strategic value.

    As it’s only now those numbers were reached, it’s only now Trump and Bessant come out in public and relax. Iran COULD still have used the leverage had had last week. Now there is no leverage at all. The Straits can be closed permanently it will mean nothing ever again.

    “The Mecca Sunni NATO pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Pakistan remains a puzzle.” — Pepe

    Pepe has no idea what’s going on. Pepe! I believe you! This is very obviously to do with Iran. Cluephone. And then other people are like, “But if Russia attacks Pakistan, means Kuwait will attack Russia?” STOP. These hypotheticals are retarded, you’re worked into a lather of Not Noticing. Pepe’s raw, seething hate means he’s incapable of just seeing the obvious. Which is, it’s not at all what he thinks it is. His whole chessboard is being misread, everywhere.

    “Extra layers of spin even promote Iran joining the deal in a later stage,”

    It’s not spin, it’s obvious. When Iran is a normal, sovereign country (unlike now), and the region is policing itself. That is, there is no Empire, American or otherwise. Which is our stated policy, and the outlook of “America First” and of Conservatives in general. Literally what the word means.

    He then launches into fantasies that Turkey loves and trusts Israel so much they’re going to pin their entire national future on them. Wtf dude. Yes, well it, the fantasy he just made up, allows him to HATE the U.S. and Israel, so it must be true. Then he can HATE Turkey too, the traitors. Who are “Atlanticists” although they’ve been double-crossing every Atlanticist as long as they’ve been a country. Such is the mind of Pepe.

    “Meanwhile in Iran, under a revamped – by Leader Mojtaba Khamenei – Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), the solidified consensus is that Tehran will never compromise,” — Pepe

    Khamenei is dead, Pepe, and not a Leader even when he was alive. Consensus view, worldwide. No one cares if they compromise or not, it’s completely immaterial now. Go ahead and don’t compromise, bomb all your neighbors and cut yourselves out of all the deals. Shut off your own money; you’re welcome to. That means more for me.

    “Iran – the key crossroads of Eurasia – has absolutely everything the US needs. Yet it’s sovereign, independent and intimately aligned with the Russia-China strategic partnership.”

    They have absolutely nothing we need, we don’t even need the transit. Nor the fertilizer. YOU do. Also clearly and well-proven Iran is NOT aligned with China and Russia, neither of which lifted a finger to help Iran in this pretty rough time. That’s not a “Partnership”.

    The GCC Gulf States are all going to summarily collapse he says. It’s the end times: All Pepe’s heroes suddenly win, all his enemies suddenly lose. Uh-huh. You taking personal bets on that?

    “Last November Kazakhstan became the first Central Asian “stan” to join the Abraham Accords, in connection with a massive US-Kazakhstan minerals deal.”

    You mean the big win and point here is Kazakhstan joined an alliance that has no meaning among nations who will all collapse? Do you hear yourself? Pick one.

    “History Repeating is always quirky: we’re back to the original, late 19th century Russia-Britain Great Game.”

    So it’s EUROPE, and Britain? Yes, we’ve been saying that. The U.S. is at this point not under their control and is something else entirely. Yet, he always stuffs the U.S. in as if that is NOT true. His big spread here – I’m not sure he notices this, I don’t think so – is all the moves INTERNAL to Asia. That’s definitive overrun of MacKinder on all fronts. Asia IS developed and connected. And by anything of that theory, Europe and specifically Britain become the pimple on the nose of a far larger, stronger Asia. Permanently. As in 200-400 years. So none of these ‘Iran’ details matter, THAT is the big story.

    Also that the U.S. dgaf what happens in Europe or WHAT their problems are. It’s furthest from our minds that you exist, and we have to be roped into paying attention constantly because we just don’t care. Pepe, by broad-brushing misses this galactically-large point. WHY would they U.S. care about Oil, Europe, OR Israel? Or MacKinder? We don’t. He’s making a dozen levels of deadly wrong assumptions and doesn’t realize it. His whole outlook is dead-wrong daily therefore.

    “81% of US Catholic Income from Illegal Migration Scams” Yeah, we know. Like 80% of EVERYBODY’S pay comes from USAID and the CIA it seems. As you see in South America, the second no USAID, all the politics on two continents normalize overnight. Without a trillion in CIA help from Larry Johnson, we’re not fighting OURSELVES, the DEA isn’t then fighting taxpayer-funded Pepe Escobar and Taxpayer funded, satellite-leaking CIA help to Venezuelan Drug Cartels. It’s really easy when you’re not fighting…yourself!! When you take a trillion dollar off the other side.

    No, this isn’t new. We’ve been saying this since Papa Bush in 1992, and became consensus reality by 2005, 20 years ago. WE ALL KNOW the CIA is the drug cartels. Worldwide. That’s the Team Larry Johnson and Alistair are on. If not, show me ‘cause everyone else knows, down to the rat meth head in Knoxville. But Alistair and Alex2 dunno nuffin’ ‘bout no CIA/MI6 drug running.

    Aside from the whole Democrat Party, You know what else vanished the day after USAID? Gangster Rap. Elevating crime, drugs, violence, and rape among the black cities, dividing the people and destroying human lives. This was somewhat unexpected by everyone. Like a little, sure, we know it’s not organic, but ALL?? Yes, all, apparently.

    “The unhinged nature of Trump’s Iranian debacle continues to descend into something truly bathetic.”

    Incredibly unhinged to take all Iran’s money flows and route them to ourselves. Never has the like been seen in history. Who can understand the mysterious and unthinkable ways of “Ending choke points” “Creating a balance of powers” and “Making money”. It’s irrational I tells ya. Simplicius cannot understand. No war was ever fought for “Peace” and “Profit”. This is a new thing never before known.

    “pray-tanned politicians bleat about some kind of ‘Golden Age’, while virtually everything associated with the American empire slowly goes to hell in a hand basket.”

    Reid, Not being here, you clearly have no idea the opposite is going on, although I tell you daily — so daily I get bored saying — the shops are full, highways brisk, building unending. Jobs easier, especially for the poors, and wages rising. Truly an unprecedented handbasket compared to “Those jobs ain’t comin’ back” Obama, and “Inflation is 20% and I started WWIII” Biden.

    I. Live. Here. IN one of these “very bad districts.” 3 different overlapping levels of “very bad” in fact. You believe a media that hasn’t told the truth in 25 years. Or rather Simplicius does.

    So when you tell me, us, we don’t see what we see and live what we live, because “Experts” on TV, you’re really gone to the bleeding limitless end of “Appeal to Authority”. As if I, we, don’t know my own life, sir. C’mon really?

    You’re TALKING to the authority, the only authority there is on my, American life. Anyway, no harm done, but think about it, will ya?
    Simplicius ALSO knows all this. If he lives in the city or beltway, he thinks we’re rich, and if he lives in the country, he knows it’s way better than previous. Either way, it’s “Make S–t Up.”

    “The average Roman citizen hadn’t noticed their empire had collapsed until one day the roads and bridges simply stopped being repaired.”

    Yes. Except that was all false. We’re still digging up Roman Villas in England in 400, 500, 600, in France… As I’ve said a couple times, Rome built a new water mill to grind for TWENTY THOUSAND people, in France, to 390AD or so. So when did Rome fall? 500? 600? 700? Sooo…no “Collapse”. It never “Collapsed”. It rotated. They ‘Weren’t repaired” until like 200 years at a pop…longer than the U.S. has been a nation. So…a darn sight slower than “Collapse.”

    Also those roads continued almost everywhere. They still exist today for instance. Soo, be careful of what you mean. This is a STORY, a NARRATIVE. So the U.S. is about to collapse THIS YEAR!!! …over a timescale of us surviving pretty nicely and totally not noticing for another 250 years. Right, Simplicius?

    “Folks. These are not normal times—we may be in the end game here.”

    Apparently this man has never read any American history. Ever. Yeah, totally darker than WWII and the Civil War. Way darker than the Burning of the White House and the Great Depression. When everyone’s eating and shops are full, markets and the dollar are all time highs, even the poorest own cable, smartphones, and are perilously overweight, definitely sudden death is here. …In Minecraft. In your “Narrative.”

    Well, it’s Simplicius, an American guy, right? He just quotes every MSNBC station that ALSO has never told the truth in 25 years.
    Nope: “On the more speculative side, Iran’s PressTV claims ‘insider knowledge’ of a deadly brawl that broke out aboard the ship, leaving seven sailors dead”

    I always believe Iran. If they speak, their word is gospel. Why, they promised they sunk TEN Aircraft carriers only this month! What am I saying? Jesus Christ, check yourself. No doubt some of this is true and it sucks. Some of it was ALWAYS happening, back years, and no one dgaf. Look at the VA for example. And some of it is entirely, completely made up. I’d take a guess the “Trust Iran, they’d never lie” part.

    “Given the lack of credible sources”–Simplicius. Ya don’t say? Given the lack of any credible sources, where he doesn’t know at all, he just reprints the worst possible things he can find. Right. I just covered this last month where everyone said “I haven’t the faintest Idea what’s going on or what Trump’s doing, but here’s what’s definitely going on and Trump’s doing.” No. I heard you the first time when you said “You have no idea” and clicked off. I believe you! Honest! ….Other people think you’re a liar and kept listening, I guess? Then wondered why what was said was so wrong?

    “Western media jeers at Putin for allegedly dotting his “Lake Valdai retreat” with an AD shield, and mocks Mojtaba Khamenei for “hiding like a rat”. The President of the United States of America is playing golf…”

    Yeah, back up to that “Western Media” part. And just stop there. Putin has the same problems, as does Iran, and Taylor Swift, so why would anyone mock anyone? Explain? If you say “Western Media is a pack of liars and the biggest threat to all that is good and holy on the planet” I’ll agree with you. Is that what you’re saying? ‘Cause I don’t think it is. You’re saying “Trump bad, all other leaders worldwide, and especially media the CIA good.” I can’t follow you to that dark, dark place. Where the CIA — totally in possession of the Epstein files for decades and even helping along — are trusted and never dun no wrong. Uhh, no.

    “Underscoring the troubles are reports that US’s top general Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff”

    Stop! Back up to “Reported by the media, the biggest threat to all that is good and holy on the planet” “who hasn’t told the truth in 25 years.” And now we believe them, because…why exactly? It’s WaPo, the CIA mouthpiece, and so why? Suppose it’s true, what are you saying? A: All op-ed, emotional, fact-free, pejorative words, as I pointed out only three days ago. What’s an “Offramp”? Did CAINE use this word? What’s your source? Uhhh, no, no, and no. You have no sources, you have no quotes, and it was never said like this. Caine said something like “Bombing Phase 1 is over and if you want more targets, we’re going to have to reposition to hitting things like hospitals. Also here are the reports on our ammunition levels and deployment health. What are your orders, sir?”

    “What’s a “Face-saving off ramp?” YOU, sir, will take ANY MINUTE we stop bombing as a permanent and total U.S. loss, a position never attempted by any many on earth before this year. Not only is that position unprecedented and criminally insane, my POINT is that there is no “Face-Saving” anything, because should Trump ever stop bombing for an instant, you won’t allow him to “Save any face” at all.

    Thereby – if your own calculus and beliefs are true – making SURE Trump never stops bombing Iran, and every Iranian dies on the outer moons of Titan, in year 2,359, as Barron Trump IV tracks down the last remaining Persian survivors. YOU are the reason the war can’t end as no face can be saved.

    Now – I – don’t happen to believe they are worried, are exiting, are losing, or think about your opinions ever at all, so thank God we’re all safe from your murdering madness, but YOUR position makes it very clear. Trump can never have a win, and never save face by any action, so help you god. Go ahead and refute me with your adjusted position, Simplicius, you gibbering madman.

    “Trump has told reporters the US is now “low-keying” it in Iran,”

    That’s because he already won. The Straits already have no monetary or strategic value. Iran is already blockaded and can’t sell a pin. The Gulf States can balance and take on Iran as equals for 20 years. All the money and banking flows have been rerouted to us. Bessant is cutting off Iran’s REAL leaders, the Globalist bankers we all-too-loosely call “London” and are putting the economic squeeze on our REAL enemy, which is NOT Iran.

    It’s already over, what’s left to do? AND YOU DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE.

    Because once again!! Trump is an idiot. He lost. Then somehow he DIDN’T lose, and is a billionaire in NYC, and on his 2nd term as President. Beat 15 or 20 candidates, 91 court cases, and two impeachments ‘cuz he dumdum. Because he’s totally stupid that way, the media being wrong 10+ years, or 3,655 days in a row, and wrong again today, when it’s SO. SIMPLE.

    Noticing things. They are experts in Not Noticing things.

    What practical thing would bombs even do here? Explain. WHY do they demand Trump use them all the time? Why? And then complain when he DOES use them. Are they really as criminally insane as that position makes them sound? Why does no one notice this very obvious fact? Are They/You criminally insane bloodthirsty madmen as well? Please say no.

    “With the recent closure of the Strait of Hormuz, many expect oil prices to spike and stay high. Instead, they have barely budged…”
    Thank you Gail. Finally anyone noticed the biggest price on the planet. However, I’m sure she’ll say they’ll be $200/bbl Ackshully, somehow. Everyone on planet earth is just mistaken. (Her argument essentially says it will be $200/bbl in PAIN, but that implies massive, endless deflation, making the $77 price in money that has doubled in weight and value. I find this somewhat unlikely. When was the last time numeric prices dropped by 2/3rds.)

    “Over the long term, the economy will likely re-organize itself in a way that is more complex and more sparing in energy use.”

    Also the #Opposite. 1) When Tainter says adding complication is the sure COLLAPSE of a culture. 2) “Complexity” is by definition “Energy use”. That is, Middle Men. Anti-DisIntermediation. So on either front, that has to be wrong. I’ve got a great plan: Government appears to have $1T in fraud. Cut that and there’s plenty of money. That “Money” is BTU’s, energy, ultimately, because you’re cutting all those DC bureaucrats’ scuba vacations to Vanuatu. They now walk to the bus stop in Akron Ohio like the rest of America.

    Anyway, I’m betting 1) There’s way more oil, even short-term 2) It may go up to $150 or whatever the economic break point is, then collapse long-term as Russia, Iran, all normalize pumping at a high level with a Europe like a crater. 3) I’m not sure you could say “Relocalizing” is “Adding complexity”. It adds Ecosystem out of Monoculture. I’d say it’s “Adding simplicity” instead. 4) Oil stays below $77 in PPP terms for years, a decade. 5) Oil is slowly moved to not being a transport fuel, but in a multi-decade scale. Not because of Peak Oil as she knows it. More oil or at least this much is used per day for 50 more years, and that is definitively Anti-Peak-Oil.

    “…Bessent promises a “one-two punch” on Iran next week. “Measures like have never been seen in the history of the economic isolation”

    He’s not attacking Iran, he’s attacking London. That’s the OTHER HALF of those money flows. I mean, Duh.

    “US rejects Israel’s plan for a permanent military presence in southern Lebanon”

    Exactly how Trump is ruled and run by Israel. By insulting them daily and telling them no.

    This is how AIPAC is unassailable and run the country, by losing every candidate they backed. Massie was one of them, so they backed both sides there. …Would you like to update your map yet?

    “fmr CIA Analyst Larry Johnson: We’re Trapped, How the MIC Ruined the US”

    There is no such thing as former, and he should know, he’s the one who caused it, was there the whole time. THis is why I trust him to say, “Yes I was totally wrong my whole career, but I’m not lying now, promise.”

    “unrelated coincidences that happened to land in the same year across the same military. The truth is structural, and it has an address.”

    Yes, the address is Barack Obama, but really starts with W Bush. He chewed up the entire military in the sand, erasing its and the United State’s power, carefully meaning to discredit it, at the full support and direction of Johnson’s CIA. This is Trump’s fault. He used his time machine to go back there, carefully saying not to, all along, in the news through that whole time.

    “NO ONE listened to Eisenhower when he warned of The Military Industrial Complex.”

    JFK did, immediately after. All his generals did and were purged, right down to Clinton killing them all in ‘96, and Obama purging hundreds and hundreds later. The American people armed up and got ever more belligerent to their government. Hmmm, sounds like we listened and were fighting them tooth and nail all along. Down to today. Us alone. Europe rolled, Canada rolled, All the Anglos, Australia. We’re here in the belly of the dragon, still swinging TF out of them. — Just rolled Fauci only yesterday. Just cut off CIA money in MN by the $6 Billions. Larry Johnson’s CIA fraud money in MN to Somali. That money.

    “If the US cedes control of the Entire Persian Gulf to Iran, will that instantly ends the Petro-dollar?

    Yes, but I’m seeing this elsewhere like with Krainer. Basically Trump = Biden. Trump = Obama. Trump = Bush. That’s why Bush is on a victory tour, best friends with Barry and Hillary now, and Trump is being shot daily.

    Guys: WE ARE TRYING TO END THE PETRODOLLAR.

    WE ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THOSE BASES.

    WE ARE LEAVING TAIWAN AND UKRAINE.

    That’s why you can’t understand anything. Yes, in NINETEEN NINETY, these things were true, for the love of God update your map, or did you not notice they’re mad at Trump a little? Tiny bit? Wee smorsel?

    We are not ‘Ceding to Iran” because Iran is already hammered to the level of Saudi and Israel. Weakened, but balanced. We are leaving it to ALL of them. ALL. It’s THEIR area. The very statement says that YOU KNOW Iran will try to conquer all the other nations nearby unless we’re there. Otherwise our leaving wouldn’t be “To Iran” and would make no difference. Now – I – don’t believe that. BUT YOU DO. You JUST said so, above, that’s YOUR assumption, not mine. How?

    So a nation with no Navy is now going to invade Saudi Arabia and take Mecca? How? Saudi has like 300 jets, don’t they get a vote? Iran has zero. Doesn’t that matter?

    Oh, I forget, a nation put out a press release, so I believe it. The CIA said.

    The Nima-Krainer interview is interesting but complicated. Nima just makes false assumptions every chance. However, Alex will say something like “Saudi and Iran are of course talking, and they have similar security interests with Israel and the U.S.” then somehow pick the #Opposite conclusion, as if it’s 1995, when he was a kid. Over and over. It’s slippery and hard to go over even line-by-line.

    But they’ll be like “How can the U.S. defend Taiwan and invade Russia when they’re wiped out”, not noticing WE’RE NOT FIGHTING RUSSIA and clearly have nothing in the field for Taiwan. Nada. So we ain’t doin’ that either and never were.
    Then they’ll say “Yeah but the military and number of missiles make no difference.” 1) Patriots don’t work anyway, who cares if we’re out of them.(I’ve also said) and 2) They don’t act like that, bribing and flipping nations from within. Huh? So our depleted missiles (also certainly false) is a pivotal factor, BUT ALSO is not? YOU say? Do you hear yourself?

    He’ll then say we’ve got a trillion deficit, with U.S. interest rates 500%, from zero to 5%, and the straits closed, the U.S. is going to collapse. True! Okay. Alex: this is your DAY JOB. For the love of Jesus, what’s the oil price? $77. That’s LOW. How’s the US$? 101. Oh, so no one cares about the deficit OR interest rates then, do they? Oil, Iran has has ZERO effect. How’s the bond market? Brisk, no problem, even overpriced idiot-jerks like SpaceX selling briskly. In TRILLIONS.

    Huh. Well, Alex, this is YOUR career, you want to engage with data and why every prediction and assumption in the previous sentence seems to be wrong? Because your buddy Luongo has. What gives?

    He THEN says, “Yeah but Europe is like 50% more leveraged, so they need to print money 50% faster to outrun the dragon.” Ah. Then you just solved your own question, didn’t you? Alex? Calling Alex…? Nope. His persistence of vision and burning hatred of the United States makes him unable to see WE’RE FIGHTING THE SAME PEOPLE. We’re fighting them from within, obviously, and killing the same parasite by killing the Petrodollar and having fair, voluntary exchange, on a de facto gold standard. So he’s every paragraph coming to face with this data, then diverts into obvious, painful, self-contradiction.

    And he knows it as he’s off any of the circuits like Luongo or Rich, who would face it.

    —By the way, the REASON we’re out of missiles and causing fake arguments to find WaPo/CIA moles is because Europe has a NEW “Plan A” to attack Russia. And so they need US to get involved and defend them, attack Russia. But whaddya know! A day later, Trump shouts at Pete we’re all out of missiles and can’t help! Old pal! I mean, we WOULD give thousands to Germany and Poland if only we had them, but Iran – you understand, right Buddy? Uh-huh.

    What a coinky-dinky! Wow. This is why I always believe WaPo, RussiaRussiaRussia, Ray-cisss, DC Bomber, Walls are closing in, when have they ever lied?

Women are continually voting pro-infanticide, pro-rape. Why do they make me say these facts? I don’t want them to be true.

    And I’ve suddenly been following the Trump-Plane story a lot. Sure, that’s fun, whatever. But, BOY ARE THEY MAD. That’s the only explanation. This is Waaaaay beyond any story, whatever, they are FURIOUS he got away. See, I took it the way they did – sure it’s a funny, interesting story, if spun right looks embarrassing, but harmless, probably Presidents do this all the time and don’t say anything. I mean, this is exactly the way Taylor Swift was getting around lately. Not embarrassing for her!! But only from their outsized and continuing reaction can I shift to the conclusion this was DEFINITELY a real assassination attempt. And by who? Not “Iran”, of course. Would it not make it a lot worse with President Vance, the nation pissed off? How about London? And these guys who need Trump gone and WWIII, the status quo?

    BOY ARE THEY MAD.

    And that goes with the new CCP sniper. I mean, I follow a lot of coffee-table prophets who are often wrong, but just recently they’ve been picking up and speaking about a 1-Mile, .50 cal sniper. EXACTLY LIKE THIS. So other than they pre-set the stage, I would have shrugged and looked at the details. This is how you know Trump works for Israel, the Joooooos, and the Derp State. Because they kill him daily now. That’s how you know he’s going to lose the midterms, that they feel they need to try. /s
    Joe Kent pipes up, repeating THE CIA. You know the one he said whose all reports were dead wrong about Iran? He suddenly 100% trusts the CIA and WaPo. …If they say “Bad Orange Man.” “Kill da Joooos.” Uh-huh. Sure Joe. Very insightful that you can read dead-wrong headlines by known liars in the news like the rest of us. Tell Pro-Biden Tucker hi.

Now when they say it, after crying wolf hourly for 6 months, no one will believe them, thanks, morons. But that WOULD cause problems in the midterms, although they don’t look worried in the slightest, so everybody is up to something. I can’t hear the buzz of the Left side – who are usually elated the working people will get savaged – since they blew this story for 6 months now. Usually it’s their bog mouths that direct me what they’re up to.

    Take it as you will, we’re nearing “relevant”. Maybe Bessant will rug-pull the whole world with the Yen carry that won’t be our fault.

Then – no cash, no diesel – So Sad! No more 2M Europeans killed for your war. But they were Slavs, no one cared, never speak of it.

    “The Washington Post’s @DanLamothe, who broke the news of Trump’s secret plane switch via a catering truck, joins OutFront to share new reporting that the CIA had “low confidence”

    So the CIA – absolutely Trump’s arch-enemy if there ever was one – reports through their CIA front WaPo. ‘Cause being a wholly-own subsidiary of the CIA is “Capitalism” n’ stuff. Just as Google is, and therefore YouTube.

    Speaking of, here’s Mrs. “Trust the Science” today, Hossenfelder. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jHGx7HBB-J4
    She has no trouble finding a new Science fraud daily, as a real scientist, but that’s too easy a target. In this episode like EVERY Neuroscience study in the last 20 years may be completely wrong, all made up. All brain imaging for “Activity” and “Areas” may be dead wrong. It not only is wrong, it’s so obviously wrong that even using a different manufacturer machine invalidates the results. Wait! I’m being too hard on them, as I am reporters. Nope. This came to their attention TEN YEARS AGO and they’re still doing, publishing, using it, pretending they don’t know. THAT, is the real problem, and the one she points out more than any other. That she, among many REAL scientists, bring attention to the experiments, the data, which then need to be adjusted, improved to march Science forward. NOT ON YOUR LIFE. When wrong, proven wrong, like Statins or mRNA, they ignore all data for years, decades, forever if necessary. Stall, deny, deflect, continue to make things up that are known-false, publish them.

    So all those experiments about “How humans really are”, men and women, and we’re all pond scum – ALL FALSE! Totally made up! And for why? Watch the agenda, which has one cohesive direction. Meanwhile OTHER real science that pops up and is real is discredited overnight. Even with overwhelming data, even going back decades. Again, Fauci, NIH, drugs, vaccines, and RFK on all this. They just say the Data isn’t the data. Trust us.

    They are as Anti-Science as it is humanly possible to be, just as the reporters writing about are as anti-Truth, Anti-Health, Anti-Human, and Anti-free speech as it is possible to be.

Not starting WWIII is a threat to the National Security of the United States. Also did not know. But this is why I trust the FBI and CIA implicitly every time they speak on Fox News. With a position like this how can you go wrong?
    Again, they wiretapped and traced every person and bank record of everybody 6 layers deep (literally), and found…nothing. Nothing at all. Not a thing, or they would have used it. That’s how guilty and felonious Trump and his people are. Right? Or is the FBI and CIA both ACKSHULLY on Team Trump and feverishly covering for him?

    “While the US is in high panic about “the rise of China” and its failing warmongering in the word, “

    This is definitively, overwhelmingly not true.

    Outside the Twitterati, nobody cares.

    If they totally, completely don’t care, and haven’t in years, then you can imagine how 99% less AVERAGE Americans don’t care.

    And that’s smart, since nothing’s happening. All the risk is from US. Even Trump said, “Why shouldn’t China take everything if all American business and government will just give it all to them?” Since NAFTA, 1992, Sandia Labs, our stealth bombers, all the process patents, and everything else. CHINA is not the problem with ANY of that, and never has been. Every American knows this. This isn’t even in dispute with us. “China” never comes up in “They sent muh jobs to China”. It’s ONLY CEOs and Congress.

    This is beyond an elite fever dream and may be the very Apex of Ivory Tower fever dreams, based on so much less than nothing, no one can even point to it. Not even Navy Intel moles like Bannon. Even HE can’t formulate a cogent argument for this to exist.

    Always the citizens who pay.

    As I said earlier (in reverse) Trump does not have control of the strait. Iran can still damage things there. Control would mean he can decide what goes in and out. However, Iran doesn’t have that control either, and one of the nations is larger and has taken no damage while moving $100B/wk of revenue to themselves.

    There were more reports of shutting off more rat lines of finance, shadow banking, but Bessant doesn’t advertise them much. Some of these are still in Dubai (a British bastion). But it’s very hard to hide them, especially with AI.

    “leaving Iran to press its own vision of management over the Strait of Hormuz with Oman.”

    Apparently this means bomb anything that moves and all their neighbors. Generally “Managing” means preserving things, not exploding them. I mean, that’s what I want in a General Manager of Taco Bell. I don’t generally want him running executions on non-paying customers, that’s not “managing” either. Note which side uses words in this way, which have no meaning, to their #Opposite, #AntiLogos.

    Iranian military leaders are declaring that “victory is on our side”.

    If you mean “Iran will continue to exist” then yes, that was always the outcome. However, they’ve added damaged wells, 10 years, plus damaged bridges and ports to their problems. They are definitively dropping to the level of Saudi Arabia.

    “That leaves Trump’s strategy resting on a risky assumption that Iran will crack before Washington does.”

    Does it? Is that their goal? President Vance may be willing to keep this up 12 more years.

    “reports from Israel resurfaced an earlier claim by the current IRGC Chief, Ahmad Vahidi, that Iran would continue to develop nuclear weapons as long as the United States and Israel possessed them.”

    Would they use them? I think you’d have to annoy them pretty badly, same as now. That was my position before the war. However, having seen their actions, I have come around to the opposite view. They would DEFINITELY use them for extortion all the way from Denmark, Panama, and Malacca. Don’t really care about Israel. I also didn’t grasp the details of the delivery system, which was only for nuclear use. So having some uranium Little Boy didn’t mean as much to me. Put together it is pretty clearly a Dr. No system, and I can see why that’s a problem. For us? Meh. We’re thousands of miles away, and if Europe wants to be extorted forever, I don’t care.

    However, we ARE in military agreements with all the Gulf States and are their army. It also appears more likely by the day that Iran is a Satrap of Globalists and the Derp State and not really working for Russia and China as suggested. It’s complicated, as is the Derp State M.O. “crooked AF”.

    There are two other levels: One, pretty clearly Israel said they would blow up …something. New Jersey? If we didn’t act first, and probably with nukes. They have crazies in Tel Aviv who would. Why now? (See below) That makes this the LEAST-Bad outcome and that’s on IRAN’S behalf. I mean, unless they prefer getting nuked. I personally would intervene to prevent Iran from begin nuked, even over their objection.

    This is the “Red Line” that was carefully set up in the media months or a year before, around the time of Butler. So this part is planned. Forcing Trump into a war was planned, and not by Israel, as it’s planned to REMOVE him. Why would Israel remove a guy acting FOR them? And Iran doesn’t Run Fox News and Tucker Carlson. But London or Davos can! So it was specifically planned to FORCE Trump over the Red Lines of his base in order to remove him. He did, but in usual form, helped them But GOOD and Hard. Now they don’t like it.

    Suppose he did not act. Refused. They would just activate the SAME issue when he tried to clear up the U.S. Suppose he did Save Act, arrested thousands, called a Emergency, whatever. London would then activate the Middle East WHILE that was going on, making an intolerable situation. This had to be removed first so that assets were already used up and off the table.

    It’s pretty clear to me anyway. And I didn’t know this before all these agents acted.

    “unexpectedly adopted a friendlier tone, while Republican senators added pressure by reviving Lindsey Graham’s proposed “hellish sanctions”

    WHO is doing this? Not the American people. Not even Weapons manufacturers. Would seem no one exists to by off and control these congressmen (and media) but Europe, which evidence we see over and over daily. They are the sole qui bono.

    “There were no new military aid packages. There was no dramatic escalation of pressure on Moscow”

    Wait, all the Alexes and everyone say WE are the spearhead of the Ukraine war. Strange way to run it. “Pressure on Moscow” is kind of underselling no sanctions whatsoever on Russia’s primary or sole income, oil. And regular hour-long phone calls with Trump. It would almost seem Russia is more allied with us than France.

    What else does this tell us? Europe is still on Plan A. It’s been years, they have no way to extricate themselves from Russia. Now they COULD just surrender and buy oil, BUT THEY WOULD COLLAPSE. A banking collapse on collateral. Which was all fraud. Now EUROPE would survive, the people, and THEY would be reduced to the level of the FSU, 1999. But they could just work and recover. However, the Globalist homeland would be destroyed with their wealth and power, as all doors to flee to (China, Dubai) have been shut.

    So no. Every European must die. That’s Europe’s Plan A, and it’s chugging along nicely. Except 1) The U.S. refuses to fight Russia for them and 2) Russia is inevitably winning.

    • President Trump Announces Release of Robert Gilman from Russian Jail

    It appears Trump and Putin have a strong relationship. Of course Putin may say “Open the records of this case and prove what was going on.” That is, declassify. We don’t know this part.

    ““’A few socialist militants are poisoning the Democratic Party..”
    • The US Is Facing A New Red Menace – From Within (Robert Bridge)

    Not at all. I’ve been complaining for years that average Democrats are more Socialist than Mao. (Mao believed in borders, guns, and gender). Now the average Democrat didn’t THINK that’s where they were positioned, but ask them 10 questions and it was very clear they were since 2000. And violently against all working people since NAFTA 1992.

    So it’s not a few. It’s like 20% DSA as billed, but more than 80% in this general sense, generational. They would rather die than profit, which is an option. They do not believe in work, at all, ever, only Government. Lifetimes, it seems normal to them. As you see. How hard is it to Disavow? Carville is almost the only one, and far too late.

    Trick is, people have to SEE it and FEAR it without ACTUALLY being too far over the edge, too much power ceded.

    So that means the Good have to be deceptive, which is not their strong suit. The people have to be terrorized while still deciding to resist anyway.

    Reminds me of the Meme “We’re at the part of Atlas Shrugged where the power goes out and no one looks or knows why.” (Spain)

    LockheedShruggedPic

    But I also forgot to add yesterday, that the Socialist Leader of Spain not only wasn’t MAD about all the rapes he’s causing, he doesn’t even LIE about it. He doesn’t even pretend to do something, then doesn’t. He’s not even aware he SHOULD be mad about, you know, rape, i.e. that it’s a BAD thing.

    Ritter: “Trump Turns the Screws”.

    But Trump already lost, 110 days ago, and handed the nation over to Iran. What gives? Now we’re back in the fight and a serious contender who can push Iran around again? Crickey, make up your mind. Lost/NotLost, Over/Not Over. Trump Surrendered but is still fighting without pause. Peace but War, Open but Shut, the “War has expanded out of control” while no one is bombing and it’s a standoff. See why I believe words should have meaning again?

    “HORMUZ AND JAPAN TO CRASH U.S. ECONOMY – w/ David Lin

    Radically different things: Pick One. Yen blew up like a year before Iran existed? That movement is not a response at all. Not even a little. Hormuz is closed with oil at $77, so this very normal price causes undue stress how?

    “D your present government is toxic to the well being of the citizens.
    Unfettered capitalism is toxic to the well being of the citizens.”

    No kidding to both. I’ve been fighting them almost since childhood on these exact terms. It’s only finally – and thanks to this President — that the level and manner of toxic is finally exposed to the Public, and to daylight. There’s no such thing as “Unfettered Capitalism” and never has been. “Capitalism” predicates a “Rule of Law”, because “Property” means, of Property Rights, and therefore a Government. People and corporations are obviously and always subservient to Government. So if Capitalism is “Unfettered” – which it can’t be – the system you’re describing is “Fascism”, the merger of Corporation and State, therefore a CORRUPT government. Yeah, corrupt governments are always bad, no kidding. Just say so, we don’t have to make up verbal diversions and distractions from it.

    Make them not corrupt and your “Unfettered”, your problem, goes away. That’s you, that’s us.

    That is, translated: Just Be Normal. That’s it. You work, and your property is not stolen. The government punishes violence against you instead of aiding it. If you have issues, you go to court and don’t self-serve. This can never happen under Socialism, as identically to National Socialists, they are the ultimate merger of Corporation and State. The very FACT of you voicing grievance will be mocks, attacked, and imprisoned, exactly as the Trucker Protest. That is to say, Your government is toxic to the well being of all Canadian citizens and getting worse fast. They have NOT been revealed to the public and exposed to daylight there at all, and appear to be acting faster and faster with no counterforce and no restraint.

    So good luck since you’re wildly worse off than we are and many years behind us, both in resistance and in restoration, and it’s a fair bet Canada may cease to exist as we know it in ten or more years, both by demographics and by law. I have faith in you, but I don’t thing the odds should be dropping as they are now to 50-50.

    Yup, that Tucker, a Pro-Hunter Biden guy. Hunter was all innocent, got a bad rap. Presidential material!

    Nothing says “I’m Above the Fray, America First” like promoting Child Pedo (as point of official legal fact, in Thailand) human trafficker (as point of official legal fact, last month) Hunter Biden, and calling him and his father (“Pedo Pete”) innocent and personal friends and allies. Yup. People of America rejoice! your twin saviours are here. Backed by a woman who fled the country a day after she cashed her Congressional pension.

    She said yesterday not to vote for Republicans, so I guess MTG and Tucker are the Kamala Harris/Hunter Biden Party now. That should go over well.

But NYC gets a much needed re-set. And it’s all the DSA’s fault. All prices reset, property transfers, new laws are enacted, clean sweep for a pro-business New York on the other side, DNC unable to win for a generation. All Mamdani’s fault. Any losses: Democrat’s fault. And it is, sort of.
    You can’t clean sweep, clean up the problems without this “Crash”. But the Crash can’t be Republicans, Trump’s fault. Which is pretty easy, since in general it isn’t.

Jesus Christ they’re stupid. Or maybe they’re not (see Marandi yesterday) but reporters sure are. There’s no SR71 Blackbird either and we have no space planes. VDH says we have 50% — who knows – but that means we can run another whole war on Iran again today. We also didn’t use the massive busters, so 95% of those. We also have new stuff we haven’t admitted we have, so 100% of that, whatever it is. Blue Space lasers that never run dry. Right? Or only Lahania have those?

    He is not angry, it’s a con, we are clearly NOT engaged in Ukraine OR Taiwan, so none of that is relevant. Also the “Leak” is up to something, I mean Duh, the WaPo hasn’t reported accurately in 20 years and is literally a direct merger with the CIA. They’re the Google of news.

    …And that’s in the FIRST SENTENCE. Imagine all the lies they tell from there!

    Translation: “Both sides are SAYING things.” Wow. Reporters are incapable of telling work from talk, having never done “work” before.

    ““Iran’s ultimate fate now rests with the Trump administration, which apparently has not yet decided what, exactly, that fate is.::”

    Not entirely. VDH is saying we can dictate to Iran without a ground invasion and occupation. We can’t at that level. There is a cone of possibilities we have, but we can’t just dictate. So it doesn’t rest with us alone, which is obvious and alright.

    “Together, they are costing the theocracy more than $400 million a day in lost revenue,”

Well that seems inconvenient. No, that “Money” is in London Banks. THEY are who is getting squeezed. Suppose they HAD the money, yet no ports. Same thing: London. So they keep making missiles with no money, no parts? Not really. The volume gets near zero. In addition, where did that revenue reappear? The same oil is being burned, roughly.

If you’re not force-installing the puppet government (It seems clear we never were) than it doesn’t matter, it’s not our problem.

Yes, Yen carry can end things, but other enormous continental-blocs can make adjustments to that. Like: there are no rules, they can just negate a whole nation’s Bonds, or declare Greece-isn’t-in-default-ackshully. And do. Every time.

    I haven’t dug in and it’s complicated AF, but Luongo says they’re putting the squeeze on Europe and the Eurodollar system. HOW does Europe get “Liquidity”? They as major banks, go to Japan and borrow at 0%. They can then invest in anything real at all and make infinity profit (technically in maths, divide by zero.) Shut off the INPUT and what happens? Here you go. Now the U.S. doesn’t have that problem. Nor does anyone who WORKS. We have actual products to sell. Only financial colonialists and their Empire have that problem. We dry up Europe’s liquidity but not our own – we can borrow our own currency and invest in Main Street, and are. That’s that. We are feverishly creating and capitalizing those small Main St banks.

    ““This is the engine of global economic growth.”

    No, Jim, it is not. WORK is the engine of all growth. BORROWING is a parasite. It’s the Engine of Worldwide Casino SPECULATION, making SPECULATORS and financiers rich. That’s it. They get rich while working people don’t. In comparison, Trump’s 2 years here, lower (black) wages rose 5%. Rich people’s income rose 1%. The income gap is closing. Which is why people hate Trump. They want the opposite as show in their policies. They do not WANT Black People’s wages to rise. Or they would LIKE Trump and his policies, yes?

    They hate the poors and the Proletariat, and hate any minute they get relief. Socialists always have.

    Rickards doesn’t emphasize another thing: COLLATERAL. It’s all about COLLATERAL, which is why at first they could take Syria, but then only Ukraine was big enough, but then only Russia was big enough as COLLATERAL for their debts. But the Yen-Carry unwind is LEVERAGE, it’s COLLATERAL. At 0% you can leverage infinity-to-one. Let’s say it’s 1,000, or even 300:1. So every dollar of Yen you need to post 300 Yen in collateral to unwind now.

    Right? That. Is the actual problem.

    “It you have to sell assets, guess what? The price goes down, and other people have to sell assets.”

    Yes, but not JUST assets, 1:1, which he points out is bad enough. Whoever has more LEVERAGE loses. Whoever has more COLLATERAL wins. That’s ARC: America, Russia, China. That’s people who do WORK. …And also why the administration is feverish for the U.S. to do Work again. We’ve been gutted by the same speculation for 50 years and it’s hard to reverse quickly. We still make A LOT of stuff though. Like Oil and Food are straight-up, we only add limping manufacturing to that. 2/3 are already sold.

    What happens if you RECAPTURE the Fed from European banking families though, and used this pirated ship in YOUR Navy instead? Repurpose it to the American Plan? Maybe we’ll find out.

    “US Pays only 3% for Venezuelan Oil”

    That’s AMAZING! You might almost say Un-Credible! HOW is the U.S. doing this? We haven’t got a single man on the ground, yet we’re pillaging an entire well-armed, un-assailable nation of millions by doing…absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.
    Boy, you better hope we don’t try this “Nothing At All” in your country! This “nothing” topples regimes like paper, who then keep their own elected governments intact.

    What. The Literal.

    It’s almost as if THEY’RE JUST LYING and something else is going on. Like we were in a legal spat with them since Chavez STOLE all our oil companies there. And are legally due compensation. (ymmv, but you can understand the concept). Also, they need horrendous investment to get online right now TO THE SAME COMPANIES, having robbed and mined every productive asset for years as Socialists do. So they need billions in investment, and being untrustworthy (see #1) are paying that upfront. So the costs of getting oil flowing is being taken out of the first shipments moved. Like is perfectly NORMAL.

    Just ask. There’s a “Phone”, just ask. How do you THINK a nation of millions, armed to the teeth, is paying only 3% with NO men, no army, not even the threat of one within 500 miles of them? And if that were possible, wouldn’t EVERY nation be doing that, every day? C’mon. Jesus, I thought at least we were at a level of COMMON sense here.

    Nope. The U.S. “Just asks” and then Venezuela said “Okay then, you can have all our oil for free”. Forever. Uhhh, no. That has never happened in world history and isn’t happening now either. Even the Soviets, even German and Japanese occupation didn’t look like that, because – newsflash – it’s impossible.

    But “Experts” believe 10 impossible things before breakfast. And are never discredited. Then we re-post their podcasts again tomorrow.

    Venezuela says “You can have all our oil for free” and how is that OUR fault? Fill in the blanks here. If they’re dumb enough to give it should we stop them? That’s because you know that isn’t happening.

    The U.S. can be painted as evil because they are in cooperation with Ming the Merciless and Emperor Palpatine? I believe it now! It must be true! If it lets me HATE. For the love of God put your brains back in your head.

    Yesterday:
    ““The Democrats’ Ghost Dance
    “Kill them. Murder them. Let the streets soak in their red capitalist blood.” —Hasan Piker

    Well, that’s pretty straightforward. Exact duplicate of Marx himself. Yup. Never more glad for free speech.

    Sooo…we have an equivalent on the Right, yes? Someone who publicly calls for the murder of, essentially everyone? Daily? Hmmm, I think maybe not. I can’t think of one. Murder the employees of the EPA? Let the streets run red with the blood of the Social Security Administration? Uhhh, don’t think so. There isn’t a crazy on the right within 50 miles of that position. …And there ARE crazies. But any man who works then owns his labor? THAT man just die.

    Theft must not be interfered with. Hasan, a multi-millionaire, says YOU can’t own property. Anything you own is his. Or the streets will run red with your blood. That’s his vow and promise. Not Schumer, not Trump; You.

    “In just TWO YEARS, underground pipelines will suck 50-70% of the oil that currently flows through the Strait of Hormuz…”

    How is it those very obvious pipelines were never built before? Says Tom Luongo, who points out that London sits on chokepoints and charges tolls, starting internal wars for 100 years if anyone interferes. Does it seem like there could be any other plausible explanation?

    “Iran’s IRGC is holding the line, reiterating that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to international shipping only after the United States accepts all of its conditions,”

    Okay, but we don’t care. We don’t need anything from the strait. Did you think of that? Iran is now Somalia and will be permanently. Congratulations.

    “The US hope was that Iran and its economy would just collapse from within, the masses would take to the streets, and the government of the Ayatollah would be overthrown. This has proven delusional time and again.”

    Delusional of reporters and experts. Was this ever the official position? Or did you make it all up?

    “Iranian SNSC: We will never compromise, whether in war or in negotiations.”

    In that case, Iran has invaded and is occupying Oman, and intends to never leave. They are reserving the right to attack every neighbor at will as official policy, forever.

    Note, it may be advantageous TO drive oil to $200/bbl if Europe won’t collapse. We will survive it, they won’t. There may be no other way to stop their deadly colonialism and 2M man ethnic cleansing on the Eastern Front, as well as in their own nations, eg Ireland, which may have ceased to exist. Which is next, Canada or UK? Oddly, I feel France and Sweden far more likely to expel and preserve their cultures.

    “• Media Fawning of Senate Candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Begins (CTH)

    That means he’s the definite product of billionaire Oligarchs and not resistance at all. They LIKE him. Has he been attempted assassination 15 times yet? I rest my case. Who is his only voting bloc? AWFULs. And other rich white liberals. That’s also not #Resistance. Only White Pepo. That was true of, eg Kamala too.

    “people making less than a million dollars could see their taxes go up. I just want to be very clear.” (M4A)

    Wow! He can’t even LIE correctly. It’s quite possible that M4A would see cost go DOWN, such is the unprecedented fraud Obama engineered into Obamacare. He could argue that. (We’re merely swapping “Profits” for inevitable fraud, where govt fraud will always outpace it by multiples … eventually. As in UK and Canada. However, we have that here already as all our “Private” care is actually dictated by government. The point of Obamacare, now well-proven, was to destroy all medicine, health, independence, cause a Soviet swap-out of the system under Cloward-Pivon. …As said Day One in Hillary, 1993, Right Again!)

    Anyway, he’s too dumb to lie, and doesn’t know the first thing about any of the issues, or he’d deflect using complication. …Like the Medicare Gap coverage argument.

    Actually, no one wants to solve the problem at all, which takes seconds. Have State-Run clinic care for very basic things. That’s legal and possible today. It would cover, say, antibiotics and broken bones, but not cancer. It’s public health but only on the cheap side. People would support this and it would work, buying real or catastrophic insurance for the back end risks. They do not WANT it fixed, therefore. They WANT it broken. If you say you want a Taco, and I put $20 on the table and hand you a phone and you don’t call, you don’t really want one do you? Same here. Fixed in 30 days, any state in the Union can start. Nope.

    “”I’m not here to disavow people’s views,” El-Sayed said at the time”

    This is Alinsky’s “Diversity of Views” tactic. If you have a protest and some hold signs peacefully, while others murder officers, that’s a “Diversity of Tactics”. Yet you’re all Brothers in Socialism, see? Yeah, see, that does NOT work or happen on the Right. If someone riots (J6) or carries a Nazi flag, they are instantly disavowed as “Not us” and even asked to be prosecuted normally, under the law. Sayed is following two parts: One, all ways to destroy the U.S. are equally good, no “Disavow”, and two, LIE about it to everyone, as the End Justifies the Means. There is no such thing as Evil if your intent is good, is Socialist Utopia.

    However, that principle never ends, does it? When Uncle Joe runs the whole place for 20 years, they are STILL using the means of Evil daily, even though there is a Worker’s Paradise. We have just one more little thing to do, comrade, stop resisting.

    No. The ends can never justify the means, which is a CHRISTIAN view. E.g. China doesn’t feel the same in their wars; if you cross me, we kill you, that’s it. We don’t try to have rules and do it nicely. No morality, only “Sending a message”. 1600-1800s, Indians will smash white infant’s heads against the wall as “Nits Make Lice.” Perhaps that’s right. That’s war. Pick the culture you prefer.

    Anyway, the Purpose of “Diversity of Tactics” is to have Hasan be able to say “Murder everyone right now” and deny it, while keeping other idiot Democrats on board. There is no such feature on the Right.

    “He notably accused critics of the sin of “factionalism.” Since the Jacobins of the French Revolution,”

    Same thing. They want Jacobeans chopping wildly, but normal people not objecting, but permitting it. Even by inaction and default. Not acting means they are participating, encouraging the murders.

    “Tucker for President? MAGA Rebels Declare Independence From Israel (Amar)

    Clearly Trump is ahead of them, for two months now. He’s been relentlessly hammering Israel in the Press.

    “Carlson also correctly linked the Iran War – a “strategic disaster” worse than Vietnam”

    Yes, 16 official people = 60,000 people. Wait: WORSE he says. TuckerMath.

    “Third parties are a difficult proposition.” No they’re not. They’re used exclusively to split the vote (and the country). That’s the whole and only point. They are well-paid by billionaires to do this.

    “Why did we allow ourselves to be convinced that Americans should make only a few select things and buy everything else from foreign markets?” “WE” didn’t, you dope. “WE” have been fighting this tooth and nail since 1971. With every move, every law, every election. Welcome to a thing “We” call “Noticing.” “WE” are not guilty of this, not once ever. YOU are. Only idiot reporters and the Overlord class ever believed this, and half of those had to pretend they would end it to get elected. That’s % approaching zero in the United States. So they are ppl from our own culture who are basically traitorous Colonial collaborators and we all know it, but they ain’t “Us”.

    “Fauci helped fund the Wuhan Level 4 Virology Lab, –BECAUSE– knowing full well that the lab was tinkering with bat viruses.” They kept this up with 20 labs, tested on the Slavic population in Ukraine, and had live viruses popping back and forth worldwide on commercial passenger planes for decades.

    “President Donald Trump’s political stature is so poor right now that he has squandered the Republican Party’s advantage on two major issues that almost always favor the GOP: the economy and national security.”

    No he hasn’t, I see no change here. If anything, they’re actually more pissed off and have less tolerance for not arresting everybody than they do Iran. So if you want ratings, do that. Arrest every Democrat (Who has been committing serial felonies for decades). No one cares about Iran, for better or worse. So those numbers are fabulated. Everyone is in the same corners they were in 2024, unchanged. However DEMOCRATS are being cut in half with the DSA problem.

    “Article III of the Constitution allows Congress to establish courts below the Supreme Court, which includes federal District and Circuit Courts. If Congress can establish them, it can abolish them”

    Congress can fix this in 6 hours. They WANT this to happen. They LIKE it. …Same with crime, murder, drugs in D.C. THEY run D.C., 100%. They have infinity resources, as they demonstrate time and again. So there’s no possible conclusion except Nancy Pelosi, etc, like coke-selling D.C. Mayors and what-not. Yes, we in America know. We know this is their morality.

    I don’t know about the Ballroom, it’s all legal details, I feel it’s probably illegal without Congress, etc, but the point is the same and true: the point isn’t funds, which they mis-use hourly for 100 years, but to stop Trump everywhere on everything. No wins at all. Like what was that El-Baghdadi”? A loved father and austere scholar, the media loved him more than …well there’s no comparison, really, and how dare Trump kill ISIS terrorists we were demonizing only a second ago? No wins. Not a minute, not a day, no never!

    Because they are Bizarro-people. It’s a religion. Otherwise, Trump is just sum dum jackass, like he is to me, who can have wins and losses like any other guy. THEY are the ones who give Trump his power. And Trump knows it and uses the Idiot Cat Laser on them daily. Then they call HIM stupid. Wow. Breathtaking.

    “Arrested 4x charged 91 Times…” That’s how you know he’s the Deep State, and works for the infinitely powerful Israeli Lobby. They are in the business of arresting themselves. “Always assassinate your own people” – Sun Tsu.

    “as war that was supposed to bring the Iranian government to its knees backfires badly”

    Was it? Did it? They never said what their goal was. It was “Not forever war” while mostly we’re not bombing, some 50 of 150 days, and also “Iran has no nuclear weapon” which they still don’t. YOU MADE UP all the stuff about the process and the goals.

    It didn’t backfire at all. Oil is $77. Oil has re-routed to the U.S. primarily, the Strait have been proven to not be a lynchpin or blockade at all. Iran now has no army AND no leverage. Plus no income. Don’t open it. See if I or anyone cares.
    They Make Stuff Up. That’s it, that’s what they do all day in their smartness. They seem to have made up we did this for Israel, yet for the dozens of reasons that keep accruing each day, that’s not likely, in fact Israel is hammered and being squeezed out of power, especially in the U.S. Trump attacks them daily in contradiction to that theory which after 100 Days still isn’t updated. They make up that we care whether the regime falls. Do we? And what would “we” replace it with? We have arranged nothing. Doesn’t that seem odd.

    This is AFTER they demanded we have a ground invasion, for which we have neither the troops nor ships to accomplish. Just Made It Up. They MADE UP A WHOLE ARMY. All in their minds. Then that army invaded and occupied, also all in their minds. They didn’t notice and haven’t yet.

    Why would we care if the IRGC falls so long as they are too weak to do anything? Or much of anything, as any 10 random terrorists can do what they do every day. And WHO are we doing this for since America dgaf WHAT happens there, it’s not our transit nor our oil and our official position is we’re leaving? It’s for the Gulf Collective, clearly. Nor for us. That means Israel in a way, but really BOTH Israel and Iran have been leveled, reduced to a level in the range of Oman. Iran drops 90%, Israel drops 50%. The combined Gulf can now take them. So Quo bono? Not us, not Israel, certainly not Iran. Not Europe. That leaves the Gulf. Who we publicly, officially, and famously are the military for since 1971. That’s what a “Petrodollar” is. I mean NOT saying we are acting on behalf of the Gulf States is the Conspiracy Theory here. That’s the consensus reality for 50 years, what gives?

    15:22 Rich oligarchs are winning
    14:12 Big Oil sees record profits
    14:42 USA is losing the war

    Square this circle. I mean, wtf? All the money flows are TO the United States and to the wealthy power blocs we always understood to be the United States. That means the U.S., which has routed the world’s money to themselves, is losing.

    More money, happy American powers = Losing. Losing is when American Interests win. Got it.

    If making more money than ever while your people are happy is losing, then we’ve definitely lost. If losing all your money and having it show up in the enemy’s checkbook is winning, then Iran definitely won. I don’t think that’s what those words mean, though.

    Because all money has moved to the US and to these oligarchs is the reason they will lay down their lives to stop Trump, and naturally give back all these profits to Iran. This is why Trump and the U.S. are now in a very perilous situation, near to collapse, which always happens when billions of new money flood in to you and your friends.

    If you’re saying this seems to imply the U.S. has probably won, it’s probably over an at its new stasis, then I agree. That’s what the Dialogue and timestamp above says, even as the speakers claim the opposite. I mean, don’t outsmart yourself: the winner is who took the money. Where the money flows re-routed. Not to who they were diverted from.

    Okay, Reid, I accept your premise: We are Evil AF, Trump is Hitler. The whole planet is at stake. If you believe this, the only POSSIBLE moral option is to attack and destroy the United States. So Canada needs to sacrifice everything, arm up wildly, and invade. They are the closest army, the world’s last chance. If they don’t, the world falls into darkness.

    This requires immediate restructure of your life and experience, investing in weapons, small-arms training, military maneuvers and field practice at a minimum. By clearly taking out your life savings, invest in small-arms tactics, supplies, and say, medical training.

    Now inexplicably, the Canadian government – which officially believes the same premise – will arrest you on sight if they even SUSPECT you are learning to arm yourself or fight, even against the United States. In fact, even if you enlist, they’ll arrest and harass you out of the military. Nevermind that! No one has let that stop them before. The world is at stake, you MUST stop Hitler in 1938, I’m sure we all would. He’s coming for you anyway, it makes no difference.

    So here we go. This is YOUR premise. We, our actions are evil. YOU MUST ACT. Your lack of acting is deeply, profoundly immoral. It’s tantamount to conceding, surrendering, even helping the United States. Standing by as we commit genocide and take over the world as the sole Imperial power. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ACT. Blow some dams, drop some substations, throw sand in the gears, things you can do in an afternoon.

    You don’t. Not a Canadian has lifted a finger and never have, and also helped in Gulf I and II. (https://www.lermuseum.org/1945-to-present/gulf-war)

    THIS is what I’m talking about. It’s fine to snoot your nose in moral superiority until you have to DO something. Then it’s “This is a job…For somebody else.” So 1) You don’t believe any of this and never have. Very and most likely in fact. 2) Your morality is fine so long as it doesn’t interfere with personal profits, an argument leveled against the U.S. as being unique. Or 3) It’s so moral that your moral position will allow, encourage, in fact INSURE evil to win, always and everywhere. More or less instantly. Because acting is evil.

    Which would you like to argue?

    I don’t think even DBS actually thinks all violence is evil. He was just caught offsides that one time not carving out that of course self-defense is moral. Even though it’s ALSO fatal and violent. But he said ALL violence was evil in that, so he’s not required to fight it. In contrast, now’s your chance: will you join the Lincoln Brigade and fight Orange Hitler or not? This is what I mean by Action. That all actions we take are Evil because they fall short of perfect. Show me in your ACTIONS that you take action, even if they are imperfect. That you believe what you believe.

    By contrast, look at Americans. We had the same choice since Clinton and Papa Bush in the 90s, Obama and W (same person) in the 2000s, what did we do? Did we all gear up and train like I’m saying is necessary to fight evil if you believe this?
    Uhhh, yes we did actually. We totally and famously did. Millions did. Gun sales were off the charts in ever-increasing numbers, people left the cities and re-homesteaded more than any time since the 70s. It’s very widely known and accepted that a huge portion of the American people thought they would have to fight the Government in a Civil War and prepared for it. There are whole tropes about how we did this. That is to say, WE WERE NOT TALK. We were ACTION. Quiet, constant ACTION. Proving we actually believed what we were saying.

    Democrats, in contrast, say Trump is Hitler and I say “We’re on the same page! Welcome to the club, my brother! get R Gunz n’ Ball Jars and fight da Governments.” Nope. Not a bit. Not a pinky finger lifted. Because they don’t actually believe a word. Clearly. It’s all a web of lies to them. And thank God for that, actually. But like 1% of 1% of them actually believe a single word which is why they have to get paid to protest, even down to today. They would never stop that Amazon and Disney+ purchase to fight Hitler and in fact are enthusiastic to buy slave-owning Apple and Nike, subscribe and repeat CIA-run WaPo and Bezos.

    Now I won’t say Canada is like that, but the point is the same. If it’s evil, you’re morally REQUIRED to take violent, probably fatal action. Even at the risk of your life. Not acting is as evil as helping. So show me.

    Having a more nuanced view I express every day for years, I’m not in any moral bind at all about this. But you are. Show me you care with the sacrifice of your life and fortune, as I have. Otherwise, it’s thin morality indeed.

    Not acting is immoral.

    “Real Reason for the Iran war: Huge Oil Profits”

    You’re right then. We won. WE have the profits; they don’t. WE have the $500M a week. Iran has nothing, and there is no leverage in keeping it shut. No one cares now.

    This is how Trump is stupid and the United States loses. That’s alright, you don’t have to apologize for being completely wrong, I know it’s hard to admit how deeply and thoroughly we’ve won. It’s enough to just move on from here in perfect agreement. All Iran’s money is now ours and that profit is in the United States for the long term.

    “Iranian power elites have decided to contest for primacy in the Mideast, first peeling oil-rich neighbors away from a hegemony that can’t defend them, then making hegemonic presence unprofitable for the retiring-hegemon, which can just leave the region…” Except this didn’t happen, the opposite happened.

    And when oil was shut off, it certainly appears other alternatives DID arise – very quickly – and there were no shortages, demonstrating there appears to be rather a lot of oil left and it’s not “Peak” at all. Yet.

    “would they not highly consider nuclear annihilation? … If Iran, China, Russia, Turkey the US, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt anticipate this, what might they be doing now to prepare?”

    The entire 160 Day war is ALREADY an answer to that question. Officially. According to Rubio. So we know what happened in the past. The “If we don’t look out something bad might happen” is incredible.

    CoPilot view on banking = Simply leverage. I agree, but the whole thing is complicated and deserves a lot of thought and attention. It may have been done TO cause this problem. I mean, as another front Bessant is attacking. No, we’re trying to Empire, to Take, to blah blah blah. No. The new system, the Stable coin system Bessant/Powell is pushing, the removing of the Eurodollars, is all REDUCING leverage. That’s why Europe alone is screaming. They are the colonialists by which this is their extraction method. This is a push to head one level CLOSER to a gold standard re-wrap the onion, reverse the past from here to Nixon maybe. Then take on a read gold standard level later.

    The point is, reversing this leverage from 3,000:1 or 300:1 in London down to 30:1 is the first stop on the tracks. And yes, that is exactly why Iran is their major outpost of “Collateral” and capital flows we are shutting off. Shut off $500M/wk and multiply by 3,000x, and that’s the collateral missing from London this week. Hopefully, the Globalists have had to risk their own assets instead to prevent collapse, sapping them. Same plan as Putin ran in Ukraine because it works on the same enemies.

    As the next article goes on, Crypto moves directly, or can, person to person, no middle men, and this erases opportunities to pile infinity leverage, esp using system delays they scalp interest on. This is all colonial extraction, how it is done. That is being shut off. By the United States. Explain?

    “Tether’s gold holdings have more than doubled since Q1 2025, while their value has nearly tripled over the same period. This makes the company the largest known private holder of gold outside of central banks” Tether is essentially a directive of the U.S. Treasury. Or it would seem. They talk about McKinley, and this is it. “The Fed” is reversed by the Fed.

    “..Political power in modern societies is increasingly exercised through infrastructure rather than through overt legislation.”

    Yes, and think of that with Amazon and SpaceX instead.

    “Iran threatens to hit Gulf states if US launches new strikes”

    Iran attacks and invades everyone they can find. Yes. We know. That’s what makes them the good guys I guess.

    “Tehran’s price keeps rising. The mayor of Tehran: nations that threatened Iran have no right to use the strait until compensation is paid,”

    Translation: Tehran will attack all neighbors until they are tribute-paying fiefdoms of Iran, so naturally I expect them all to fold. Why would Saudi want to exist anyway?

    “Iranian MP Ebrahim Rezaei’s response: “a paper agreement with Turkiye and Pakistan will not bring them security, just as years of one-sided nursing to the Americans did not”

    Iran says they’ll attack Turkey and Pakistan too. Got it. Totally reasonable and feel super-safe now. We can be sure the good guys are in charge.

    “.Physical oil is not behaving like a deal is imminent”

    Disagree. It’s $77, near the bottom. So it’s also not behaving like there’s any war at all, or the Straits have any geopolitical importance whatsoever.

    “That is the actual reason three countries signed a mutual-defence pact. Gulf states no longer believe the US umbrella exists.”

    Okay, so we agree we’re all happy then. The U.S. Empire has ended, the Middle Eastern Security is now run by the locals. That’s the end state everyone said they wanted. I for one actually am happy, and don’t understand all the shouting. We won. The very heavy, tar-laden balance has been shifted, even though it takes big events to make that happen.

    “..Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine is privately pushing for an off-ramp from the Iran war.”

    Meaning the GOOD outcome is NOT the end of war but its continuation forever? That’s the assumption here. Uhhh, no, I don’t think even Generals want this. Because that’s not “Winning.” Winning is the END state, meaning war is over. That is, it had an off-ramp. JHC The level by which the supposed good guys presume all wars must be eternal is mind-boggling. The level to which the peaceniks fight peace at a root level is stupefying. Can anyone understand how they got them into a state where they actively, violently, oppose any end to war as a “Loss”? And the normal people nod their heads in thoughtless agreement?

    War = Peace. Every day of the year now. Only by eternal war can we be winning. Uhhh, no. I have not lost my mind to that level yet. Peace is still peace to some of us. They understand ending is Winning.

    “Hormuz: the “deal” that reads like a rejection; tolls drafted at 5-7% – Iran’s own terms”

    Translation: “Iran said things”. Nothing was signed, no one paid, no bombing stopped, no one left the field. The author is running a victory lap every time “Iran says things”. I can say things too!

    Reporters used to know the difference between saying things and doing them, between saying you’re going to get punched in the mouth and doing it. So did everyone else. Now “Words are violence” and “Violence is the language of the dispossessed proletariat.” Looking at a woman is rape, but actual rape is ok. Tell me what mindset we have where “Saying things” is real. Did you notice Trump also “says things”? Wow, but then they’re NOT real. Only my side, right or wrong. How can you be blind to a bias this enormous? “Iran said it from a cave, so it’s true.”

    “The silence surrounding the outcome to the Netanyahu meeting last week in the Oval Office speaks for itself. No American government official came to the airport to receive him,”

    This is how Nutsy runs Trump and the United States. AIPAC runs all Congress except what, like 6 recent candidates, Recently Al-Sayed in Michigan. Because The Joooooos run everything, they couldn’t stop a 3rd rate candidate in a state they own, with the entire Democratic Party working with them. Such is their amazing power over the earth.

    Would you like to try again? It seems Israel did NOT have power over Trump (duh) and not all that much over America either. The “We Just Say Things” is what a lot of their power was based on. If you actually test that power it folds like a paper tent. Okay, what’s your new theory then, boys? The Jooooos are luring us in?

    “Trump – finally, it seems – understands that the war which he started in order to crush Iran has flipped – to destroying him.”

    Quite the opposite for a dozen reasons. Trump isn’t electing and is at no personal risk at all. He’s not really in danger of the midterm and this isn’t having much effect. The military reality he describes has nothing to do with Trump, but is worldwide as Offense outpaces Defense. That proves that Trump was RIGHT to act now, because every day you wait it becomes much less possible. I’m not making that claim, but if YOU say weapons are headed this way, that must be YOUR conclusion. …So the #Opposite of everything he is reporting. As usual.

    They are Reporters. Therefore they are glue-sniffing crayon munchers who can’t add 2 and 2.

    Alistair’s analysis.

    I agree because no one ever stopped bombing for a few hours yet to begin with, but that’s not MY argument. It was HIS argument that it was already over and we lost, 100 days ago, the nation with the full Air Force, thousands of missiles, a floating Navy, no ships sunk, homeland untouched is the loser.

    How long is “Soon”, Al? How Soon Is Now? He doesn’t say because then he would have to …say something. Anything except “Orange Man Bad”, “The U.S. is evil and will collapse later this week.” So saying…nothing, Al? But ALSO that it’s already over? So it’s over and not over? Lost but not lost? Long time but also short. Oil is $200 but also $70. Yup, that’s the same Team we were talking about yesterday, you always know them bc their weirdo cult always thinks and speaks this way: with complete, universal self-contradiction, where Reality itself is entirely optional. Both. Neither. Aiii. All objects and their Opposites are the same.

    “Alastair Crooke : US Middle East Dominance is Ended”

    Considering he thinks all things are their #Opposites, I’m not sure whether to believe it. But if it’s true, WE WON! We’re leaving the Middle East, Empire is over, and Trump won. America First is transcendent. …I have the feeling he’s not elated by that as I am. Why so sad, Al? Trump won. You got what you wanted now. What gives? That also means Israel is not running us at all, even a little. Surely he can at least be glad for that, which is his own conclusion.

    Yes, and oil makes $0 dollar change in price. Wow.

    “Russian Engineers did the Impossible: ‘Golden TITAN’ dealt a Crushing Blow to the West in the ARCTIC”

    Yes, the U.S. has ceased to exist and is sobbing in a corner, also translated as “No one noticed.” That’s what “Crushing blow” means.

    “Israel ATTACKS Iran? War Now IMMINENT as Trump FOLDS | Seyed M. Marandi”

    TACO Marandi agrees that if Trump stops bombing Iran for even a minute, he lost. Therefore the more bombing Iran experiences the more they win! Yes!!!. #Logic 101. This is not at all the #Opposite of all military history over the last 10,000 years. Genius! Also: what attack? What Israel?

    Pretty sure they have a long-release hormone poison that doesn’t change your body outright, but is adequate to change your brain’s perception of gender and causes transgender dysphoria. ‘Cause any who annoys the Globalists suddenly seems to have this happen to them. Manley, Wachowskis, Jenner as a test case, many others. Put in vaccines on your daughter for the lols perhaps.

    Knowledge with no morality or wisdom, as Frankenstein warned. Evil AF, or rather worse “Lacking any notion of morality whatsoever”. Pure blank. Aging someone? Cancer, like Tulsi’s husband? Kid’s stuff. Okay, and how do you Un-Know these things so evil doesn’t use them?

    “JD Vance says it can be fixed”

    Sure, it was not even Capitalism, as I say every day. Promethean Action covers how it happened, how it’s fixed, and why Trump’s whole platform is installing this. Ummmm…Tariffs? Ring a bell?

    This is classic Oligarch behavior, done 100 years now. As Oligarchs make this exact non-Capitalism, then when it is destroyed because of them, BLAME CAPITALISM, not themselves. And install a WORSE system called Socialism, ALSO run by the same Insider Party Oligarchs. Why not? I can’t go over 100 years of examples here: pick one at random, “The People” never run f—k all. The wealth is extracted as Socialism is an even WORSE neo-feudalism, with a modern police and propaganda state on top. Since we’re halfway there, you should recognize it.

    “CNN compiled a series of clips showing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warning since 1996 that Iran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.”

    Yes. As I’ve said for years. The difference? IRAN ADMITTED IT. They SAID they were refined to a certain level, at which the refining becomes like an easy overnight process. Certain IRGC people SAID they were going to do this, make a bomb, openly, weeks before Feb, just as Ukraine SAID they fully intended to have nukes a few weeks before 2/22/22. They ALSO now have the missiles “For Space”, which have never gone to space even once, but DID have this exact size payload. Total coincidence. And that is also different: they CAN deliver.

    …That seems somewhat different, CNN? Wow, CNN who supported “They’ll greet us with flowers” and every other bulls—t interventionist nonsense over the years Lo! SUDDENLY goes reverse? In lockstep with London, who like Blair have never not bombed or invaded anywhere on earth, but this ONE TIME don’t want war and DO want nuclear weapons in their Satrap in the Gulf? So. Odd.

    Well, since Iran admitted it if you look, it’s just too hard to figure out. The world may never know.

    “• Bessent Outlines Capital Markets Making the Strait of Hormuz Irrelevant (CTH)

    Iran has no leverage because it’s already clear the Gulf has no importance. Past tense. Global money and oil flows have re-routed around it. Past tense. If Iran keeps it closed for 1,000 years, it won’t matter to anyone except them.

    “• Iran’s Economy Is In Shambles As War Takes Its Toll (ZH)

    Meanwhile, every restaurant is full, every highway, with new pickup trucks. Amazon is selling briskly. No I don’t find this advisable, however it’s true. Every market, straight up, bonds and dollar selling strongly.

    Yup, that’s how the U.S. has been discredited and collapsed. We alone have the strongest markets as the world rushes to us. Military recruitment rockets up. That’s what “Losing” and “Discredited” means.

    “• Trump Has Already Won in Iran, by Any Definition That Matters (Eric Florack)

    It would matter if the American People think so. They don’t care. Because they don’t understand wtf is going on, and neither do any of the pundits, as I dissect daily their incredible self-contradictory beliefs. People who hate Trump still do, even if he saved kittens. So that they are no longer politically relevant. Others see the economy moving, jobs appearing and wages rising. Gas is high but tolerable.

    “The UAE, which watched its exports crater to 1.9 million barrels a day when this war opened, is now pumping close to 4 million barrels a day — past prewar levels, not just back to them. Regional flows overall have clawed back to roughly three-quarters of where they stood”

    “• The Republic Will End in 2032 (Martin Armstrong)

    Did it? What does he see? I’d say it ended in 1913. We’ve been sharply something else, then sharply since 1963, then sharply since 1979, then sharply an Empire since 1990. That is being reversed and restored, not least of which is we’re all discussing it, including the Amendment on Senators. 4th Turnings by definition end up somewhere new, same as 1776 and Lincoln. This is no different, but what? How do we counterweight an off-planet SpaceX? Do you know? I don’t.

    ““Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621.”

    Hong, as a Korean (Remember she does not align with White NOR America) has a dog in this fight. Ummm…wouldn’t you have to admit you’re American to have legal standing for an opinion here? A: “DON’T INTERFERE WITH MY HATE!!! My HATE for my own children so imagine what I’m going to do to YOU!

    “El-Sayed” Let’s follow Luongo on this. The DNC apparently VOTE-RIGGED to try to keep him out and lost. Ballots just kept showing up, California-style. Now that he’s in, all Independents are breaking their arm coming out to vote GOP against him. Now the DNC central has the worst problem: LOSE the election altogether. OR, PAY BIG to make a traitor the the DNC win there. Lose-lose. AND they can only do that by diverting funds from Georgia or somewhere. I’d just take the certain loss and lock him out, but that means Yet Another Seat in a close Congress.

    Lose, Lose, Lose. But sure, it’s Trump who has to worry. Heck mail-in ballots alone and he’ll probably win. Redistricting makes it certain. Oh IranIranIran. I think people who have opinions on this must not be Americans or live here. They’re in la-la land. It’s so d–n simple they can’t understand it.

So they should be able to carry this ethnic long knife everywhere they go just as the Sikhs do, yes? That’s religious and ethnic tolerance.

    No, because they are blinding and overwhelmingly bigoted against ethnicities and minorities. They choose their own by robbing others’, that is all.

Tesla goes up mostly ON THE SHORTS and not on its own merits, and always has. But if not that, remember he came up short and rigged Doge Coin that one time? Pump-n-Dump’r. Classic. He always has.

    So, as predicted, Tucker plan has nothing. Nothing at all. This is not a 3rd Party run, like we’re miles from that point. But Tucker’s list – they’re picking on it for being political rhetoric and buzzwords – it’s Politics, you’re supposed to do that, get real. But after the 10-List Buzzwords, THEN there is a lot of “What YOU can do for your country!” the facts, the details, the list, the action, the change.

    There is none.

    That’s BEYOND that Tucker’s list is ¾ Trump’s list already. So you like MAGA. Got it, Tuck. You can say thank you President Trump, oh President, my President. We disagree in a couple footnotes, but outstanding, good work.

    Uhhhh… So Bots have headlined all these guys, oligarchs paid for it, mostly without them fully knowing, but here’s the real base support: Near Zero. So that’s oligarch-puppet MTG, Tuck, still supported by Fox – Joe Kent, Brian Glenn.

    Now WHY can they not have details? That seems ill-planned. A: Just like the Democratic Party, because then they would have to GIVE something. Medicare4All. Minimum Wages. Whatever. TUCKER would have to give…deportations to destroy corporations. Expose his own donors in the Epstein Files (which he also has and doesn’t release either). Stop the Police State in J6. Enforce 10A. End Obamacare. He doesn’t even PROMISE to do that. Just promise, Tuck, just LIE. He can’t because immediately it will be completely clear they have no interest in stopping Oligarchs or restoring the Rule of Law. Like, Immediately. So neither Hillary nor Tucker can even PROMISE, and just double-cross you a year from now. It’s so stark, you’ll see it right away, before election day.

    And they know it.

    So good work. I doubted myself in saying, “Is it REALLY possible Tuck and Massie have been high level moles all along like some say?” Sorry to say, seems like. Proof is coming in right now. Looks like the plan to split the Republican Party is no-so-goodly. No viewers, no one cares, and they care even less now that we know what’s inside.

    (P.S. Greene retired from Congress the day she got the infinity pension and left the country with $5 Million dollars. She said because working was hard and pepo were not as nice as she wanted. Honest. In Congress. This is the sort of person we should take as a hard-core, die-hard, whatever-it-takes patriot, right next to Joe Kent, who quit, said nothing, the same. Okay guys, apparently we have different expectations of what “Fighting” means. Forklift drivers in Brooklyn took more flak for posting cartoons than you have and for no money. About 1,000 people took more hits and got no eternal gov’t pension for showing up gun-free at an election rally and being arrested with no charges.)

    The Limousine Liberals of our time.

    Look: Tuck’s said a lot of things over the years; now is the time for Action. If you have principles at all, the action, and the MEANS (don’t forget) are also the self-evident outgrowth of your Eternal Principles. So not having any just means you have no principles. It’s just impossible to have them and not instantly express them, express them as a fact, and as an action, a list of priorities and actions that create a moral world. People disagree with them, you say them diplomatically, sure. But you Have them. You’re more likely to be tripped up double-talking them, selling them softly, than to have none at all. Democrats, the DSA HAVE Them for example: It’s to steal everything and murder everyone, with them in charge of total power. Submit or die. Fine. They think a despot means they are good, and being good, they will automatically create a good and just world. By force. That’s Lenin’s view. Fine, it’s very simple, held by Kings for centuries. But they have one.

    Tuck doesn’t even HAVE one? C’mon.

    It’s not that Trump doesn’t have one either: it’s just that his world is RealPolitik, Get-some-shit-done, practical view. It doesn’t have some deep moral philosophy underneath, although others around him do. He would not kill people as it’s just impractical and counterproductive, which it is. But that’s not a moral barrier, if it helps his end, he’ll break the eggs. This is exactly how Evil always crucify any “Moral” actor: they arrange to make him cross his own red line, and if not break himself, lose his base. That’s why the 4th Turning leader is a “Grey Man”. Morally grey. Because then there are no Red Lines to so easily make him trip. So without some master theory, you have to have an idea if Trump’s vision is anywhere closer to “Good” or “America” than here, move from Very, very Bad, to “Muddling Suck.” If so, be practical and make that move, it’ll be far easier to reach Utopia from there than here. In history, that’s the best you ever get anyway, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, take any ground that’s given.

    Americans are likewise a practical people and also not abstract. They take action and try things. If things don’t work, they are not broken up by it and move on. Perfect is neither an option nor an expectation for us, only “better than here.” The rest of the world cannot grasp either of these. Guilty over everything, terrified of failure, lost in theory and ideas. Ruled by evil overlords by each of them. Oh, nor the concept of “Honest Work”.

    So Moral they’re no earthly good, as they say.

    Okay, that seems Tucker’s dead on arrival. No uptake at all. ONLY moralizing, no action. Kent too.

    “Iran’s Mehr Releases Video Of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei For ‘First Time’ – Except It’s Old

    ALSO in the news yesterday, that they admitted he was dead. So he’s both alive and dead. No one finds this remarkable and is an everyday occurrence of reporting now. I point out that there is ONE Team for whom this is the hallmark of their every move: London and the Globalists. Men are Women who are Men ackshully. WNBA that is the NBA, that is NOT the NBA because they are the “W”NBA. Trump is Deep State but ALSO assassinated by the Deep State. Russia is powerful and running every election, but ALSO so weak Ukraine can roll them in a week. Over and over and over and over. One Team only. But that’s good. We know them the minute the pop up, from their fruits. It takes real talent to be this bat s–t.

    It’s not him being alive or dead. It’s that WHO is running the country? Not Civilian. Not Army. So clearly not Mojtaba? That leave the “IRGC”. But they are ALSO 100% dishonest scoundrels who don’t use the process to get a new Khamenei? Wtf? THAT is the part that matters to Iranians. Even if the IRGC “Just Said” “Suck it peasants, we’re taking over and your dictator now” that’s honest, makes sense. We know. They can’t even do that? How can you trust them and go to them when they’re NOT in charge? Who’s in charge? It’s intolerable, and demonstrates they’re not trustworthy. And WHY NOT? If they’re in charge, it’s easy to just say so, just start whatever new process you’re going to have. Why would you DENY being in charge? Is it because you’re not and it’s someone even DEEPER, behind you? Offshore London bankers? Who could it be, so bad they can’t even SPEAK of them? Yet they obviously are, and obviously don’t, and obviously haven’t, are afraid to admit it, for months.

    Just say so. Just say “IT’s US.” Eat hot lead, Iranian cabbie! Pretenders to the throne. Nope. No one is in charge but everyone is. Mojtaba is dead but also alive. There is peace and passage but also war and blockade. Almost like the Father of Lies, the Morningstar, rebelling against Reality itself.

    Alex Krainer, British Economy. So glad we agree perfectly. This is exactly the core danger Trump is solving. He is doing exactly this re-fit of the economy to making and doing things away from Imperial Extraction. Thus are sound money and tariffs. You’re welcome. You don’t have to pay me, the adoration of being right is all the thanks I need.

    “Are US globalists better than city of london globalists?

    Yes, because as per the above, they are definitely NOT Globalists at all, they are by definition Nationalists. And by both definition and their actions, Anti-Imperialists. So yes, yes and yes.

    “I have reported that Trump was mislead into this unwinnable war with Iran, which has been planning for it since 1979.” –Armstrong

    Yes, and as I read it he went right around it. ISRAEL was bombed and lost all influence, the Middle East has ALREADY been rebalanced. Past tense. It’s just like saying “We’re screwed, we can’t go out” so you lure the enemy in. Simple. Again, everyone just uses the word “Win”. Wtf does “Win” mean? No answer. Winning is when you can never stop bombing, they say. We have the implication it can ONLY be the U.S. invades and occupies Iran. Which they’re right; we can’t do that. But we clearly never INTENDED to do that, not even for a day. So therefore our “Winning” must be different. …So everyone just makes one up, straight out of their ass. Did you ASK? Did you READ our documents? They published a world strategy document, you know. It covers this. …But reporters would have to be “Literate” and that’s impossible.

    What if “Winning” is just reducing Iran to the size or power of Saudi and the Gulf and removing the problem of Hormuz off that table as the entire world ignores it forever?

    That ALREADY HAPPENED. That’s in the past. We won. The Middle East is configured, we can hand off our departure – stated openly in those documents – to the locals. Oh: also ISRAEL got savaged and THEIR power was knocked back to Saudi-Oman level, as well as losing all control of the U.S. Awwwwww….so sad!

    “Joint Chiefs Chair Pushing For Iran War Off-Ramp, Warning Escalation Will Backfire

    This is amazing reporting. Nothing has changed. The Generals said “We have these targets and can hit them all.”

    They used the targets and hit them all. That means they are now out of targets, which is exactly what they said Day One.

    They can now hit like power plants and dams, same as they said Day One. That has political consequences, same as Day One.

    The Reporter’s allegation was that the Generals had a target list that was essentially infinite? Like others, that if the war ever ends, if Trump stops bombing for one day we lost?

    Maybe this depends on Trump’s goals, which he never defined. The reporter has defined Trump’s strategy and goals for him. Then called those goals dumb.

    Okay, stop and think for a second, even on Zero Hedge. What’s actually said and what actually happened. Or hasn’t stopped happening, and perhaps is unlikely to stop for some time yet. As both sides just continue anyway.

    What Israel? The article says Israel wants an escalation. Okay. So it seems Trump dgaf what Israel wants and doesn’t obey them, nor does the United States. Can we print that instead? If that’s true, that’s the conclusion. Since that’s the opposite of what’s been reported, that seems like news, right?

    “Iran Insists US Must Meet Stringent List Of Demands Before Hormuz Opens

    What did I say about there’s a deal but both sides will keep shooting? I thought that would take a few weeks, not a day. Note Iran is “Just saying things”. So long as there is a microphone left on earth, that will happen. The question is “Can they DO things?” No one seems to know the difference. Jesus Christ.

    Words are not DOING things, people.

    They keep reporting that nation that was bombed flat has infinity missiles.

    That nation that was completely untouched and is 10 times their size is completely out of missiles. Does this seem very likely to anyone?

    …Forget I asked. Today is Day 3,438 of how Trump is part of the Deep State who also tried to assassinate him too. That’s March 10th, 2017, but there was one only yesterday? So clearly the level of thinking is not very high. For 3,500 days in a row. Today is not different.

    Yup. The above? They’ll literally believe anything. How about that Aircraft carrier that was sunk? How’s that goin’? Same people. The U.S. has no missiles like the Fed has no Dollars. Very unlikely.
