Wars Gone Wrong

Doug Macgregor described our approach to war as, "Ready, FIRE, Aim!". I think that is about right, or as my family used to say, "You've got your wagon in front of your horse". The US has no understanding of other cultures (and doesn't want it). We are arrogant about our power, which is waning fast, and to put the icing on the cake, we're incompetent. No wonder NATO is losing in Ukraine, and my bet is the US and Israel will lose a protracted war to Iran and their Russian and Chinese allies. These are all signs of end of empire, and I for one wish we would accept it and join the new cooperative win-win world order. Instead, we must prevent the rise of peer powers...how foolish.

March into War

March is the start of meteorological spring, and next week will be very springlike here. Sadly this weekend marks the start of another unprovoked war. Doesn't anyone remember the Iraq WMD lies? Evidently not...because here we go again, and without any logical reason. Russia starts unprovoked wars, we start "preemptive" wars. Yeah right.

A War of Choice
for the Epstein Class

I expect the war begins next weekend after the "State of the Union Address" this Tuesday. I'm reminded of the start of the irrational Iraq war. Here we go again, only this time I suspect we might have our ass handed to us...meaning we don't know what we're in for. China and Russia are working with Iran, and though I'm sure we will pull some unforeseen shenanigans, I think there's some new arms technology that will be deployed which will catch the US and Israel off guard. At least that is what Alastair suggests in a couple of the clips below the fold. As to the question of why conduct another unnecessary war? To my mind it is to appease the Epstein class (banksters), which Robert Barnes discusses in a couple of today's clips.

Round and round we go. Are silver and gold once again going to be the basis of money and exchange? After all, they have served that purpose for most of the last five thousand years. The US began with that concept at our origin. Article I, Section 10, Clause 1:
No State shall ... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin as Tender in Payment of Debts.
In this century, Texas is first out of the block, and plans to produce and sell one ounce silver and gold coins soon. However, the primary scuttlebutt about the changing world economic order came from Xi in China recently with his announcement that the renminbi (yuan) is to become a reserve currency. He said China was the world's manufacturing and technological leader, and needs to become the financial leader as well. A gold-backed yuan refers to China's strategic initiative to link its currency (renminbi/yuan) to physical gold reserves...This strategy involves establishing gold-backed trade settlement options, expanding gold trading platforms, and gradually positioning the yuan as an alternative to the US dollar in international transactions. Much more on gold, silver, war, and the economy below the fold.

Hot War, Cold War
Bring along the Atom Bombs

The on again, off again war with Iran teeters on the whim of the Don. Some how I don't trust his "morality". Many of the analysts in today's column suggest Trump has painted himself into a corner with Iran. This week we let lapse the last of the nuclear treaties, START. No telling what that move will precipitate...a new nuclear arms race, when we already have enough bombs to blown up the world multiple times? The other big news item of the week is the fall out from the Epstein files. Their release is echoing in various western halls of power, especially in Europe. The UK press is trying to promote the lame idea that Jeffery Epstein was a Russian agent. When in doubt, blame it on Russia. All that and more below the fold...

The Post-Constitutional Era

We sit on the brink of yet another illegal attack on Iran. Can anyone explain to me how Iran is a threat to the US, or for that matter how does Venezuela and Cuba threaten us? None the less an attack on Iran seems eminent without even a congressional hearing. Even if there was one, the Zionist purchased congress would probably acquiesce. The endless wars have come home and are taking form in the streets of sanctuary cities. The meme of "show me your papers" is now real on US streets. There are ways we could handle illegal immigrants in a reasonable manner, but we've become a fascist like state. Hang on friends it is likely to be a wild week!

Winter Storm

Much of the US is literally in a winter storm, and perhaps the entire world is figuratively in a winter storm...especially if we start a hot war with Iran. I think all the countries of the world are facing an economic storm this year, after all gold just hit $5000 and silver $100/oz. The big happening in the west this week was the Davos WEF elite meeting. Trump, Carney, and Zelensky were the primary entertainment at the globalist gala. Mark Ruta (Rutti tutti as Pepe calls him) seems to have given Trump carte blanche to set up Greenland bases, by passing Denmark and Greenland for permission or even input. Trump announced he plans to take over Cuba by the end of the year as well. It is a new imperial colonial era, I guess. More news below the fold.

Continuing Conflicts...on and on and on

It has become difficult to keep up with all our coups, wars, and conflicts. I think the war machine still sees China as our primary target as they surpass us in so many ways. I think TPTB are still deluding themselves over NATOstan's ability to "weaken" Russia. I also think the war with Iran is just on pause until we get more military assets in place. Venezuela is still Chavista despite Trump claiming to be its president. Next on the list is Greenland. I'll be surprised if it last as a territory of Denmark, and fully expect US control by next summer. There's also talk of taking over Cuba, little Marco's wet dream. And we can't forget the US funded ongoing Palestinian genocide paired with bombing runs over Lebanon and Syria. Next and perhaps most disturbing is the war on US citizens. We now have ICE agents acting like SS troops on US soil...faces covered, no ID, no badge number yanking disabled people from their cars for traffic errors. I think there is a war on US citizens who don't behave like TPTB expect and say things contrary to current policy...like end the Palestinian genocide.

It's gangster nation as we threaten seizures of countries like Greenland, Columbia, Cuba, and so on...as we dictate with whom other countries are allowed to trade or associate...as we threaten the conquest of Iran...as we steal tankers in international waters...and sanction and tariff much of the world. Not to mention the gangsterism here at home, using ICE to kill or imprison anyone that doesn't submit, and targeting anyone who speaks out for Palestine. These are dark times at the end of empire. We're watching the collapse of dollar dominance, and the slow, slow, then sudden crash of our economy. We have a $7 trillion interest payment due just before midterms, and no one wants to buy US bonds. Folks, this country is going down the tubes, and quite frankly, given our behavior, it is for the best. However, to paraphrase Larry Wilkerson, "a dying elephant can do a good deal of damage thrashing around in death pangs".

Welcome to 2026

I'm not sure if we're in WWIII or just in wars all around the world. The US criminal enterprise has now kidnapped the president of another country in order to steal their resources. The fake cover story of drugs is more bogus than Iraq's WMD. Next up, Iran, where Trump has green lit an attack by Israel which he will back. I have no idea how western powers will cope with their loss in Ukraine, but my guess is badly. And then we have China, where we're sending weapons to one of their provinces (Taiwan) in order to provoke war there. Absolute insanity. This is a war on BRICS+ in order to thwart their rise. We remain ignorant to the fact that our actions have increased the influence of BRICS+ as the rest of the world tries to escape US bullying.
