Open Thread - 4-3-2026 - Changes in World View
Morning,
Interesting times. Would not mind a few months of boredom.
More warning signs of shifting belief in the US as one of the safest places to store wealth in times of chaos.

The same theme. Wealth is not automatically moving to the US during a time of chaos.
Iran war shows dollar’s grip starting to slip on Asia Asia Times April 1, 2026
For years, markets have treated geopolitical tension as a one-way trade: buy dollars, sell Asia.
The logic has been simple and, until now, largely reliable. Conflict pushes oil higher, capital rushes into US assets and Asian currencies weaken under the combined weight of rising import costs and capital outflows.
...
Of course, none of this suggests the dollar is losing its central role overnight. The initial rally during the crisis shows that investors still turn to US assets in the early stages of uncertainty. What’s changing is the persistence of that demand.What’s unfolding now is, it would appear, more conditional. Gains are fading sooner, even though the underlying risks remain in place. A dollar that no longer commands automatic and sustained demand during periods of stress creates space for differentiation.
Asian currencies are no longer moving as a single bloc, with outcomes becoming more closely tied to domestic fundamentals, external balances and policy credibility.
Markets have relied on a familiar pattern for decades. The month just gone suggests that pattern is starting to change. Asian currencies are not yet separated from the US dollar’s influence, not by a long way, but they are no longer moving entirely at its mercy.
Found this to be a thoughtful discussion on changing perspectives.
The New Age Psyop (56.52 min)
Natali Morris interviews Mikki Willis a best selling author, and investigative filmmaker. They discuss their migration from an exclusive New Age perspective to attempting to have a more fact based perspective.
Warning - creepy to the max
The use of religious cults is one of the methods of psychological control from leaders to foot soldiers. This clip from yesterday's Alex Jones show was the longest running clip of the White House event which will further splinter evangelical Christian movement into separate camps. The religious aspect of the Iran war is now front and center of the conversation for all the world to discuss.

Religion and Politics
Strange brew - a recipe for disaster.
Do the majority of USains realize the
Zionist death grip on US politicians is
backed by Judaism? This is a predominately
Christian society, in spite of all the splinters.
Judaism is a small minority, although this
concept of Christian Zionism is gaining traction.
Talk about a psy-op. Red flags abound.
Zionism is a social disease
The United States can't take care of daycare… we’re fighting war

Trump states his priorities.

"Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things… they can do it on a state basis,” he said.
“You can't do it on a federal [level]. We have to take care of one thing: military protection
—we have to guard the country."
That and building a ballroom.

The scene with Trump and the holy rollers
was bizarre. It reminded me of the environment in the Southern Baptist churches I attended as a pre-teen. My dad hated preachers, and my Mom's father was a Nazarene minister who had soured her on religion. So as a child, I was allowed to go to church by myself or with other church going relatives. Until I reached age 13, I thought I was avoiding hell by going to Sunday School. I usually avoided the sermon once I started walking to a Southern Baptist church in our neighborhood.
It was precisely the kind of palaver in that video that induced me to quit going to church and to quit calling myself a Christian as of age 13.
I think they pulled the video because any normal person would run for the hills rather than buy into the idea of Christian Warfare.
They maintain a monopoly among the abnormal.
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
I lost my religion
even earlier at 8 or 9. At the same church as you, The Church of Nazarene. A collection of "speaking in tongue" holy rollers tranced out through an entire sermon.
Frightening as hell.
As Jones noted; "They are manipulating the Christian religion".
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Heh, this (below) is a Crusader, they bought into it
This (below) is a US Vought F8 Crusader, it seems we bought into it too
Below we have a Brit Crusader Mark III, they bought into it too -
One of the principal arms of the xtian religion launched numersous "Crusades", including against other xtian sects like the "Albigensian Crusade" and against pagan peoples such as "The Northern Crusades". These were often genocidal.
be well and have a good one

Thanks for hosting the OT.

Trump finally reveals the Iran war plan.
He says in 2 or 3 weeks, we will open up the Strait of Hormuz, take the oil, and make a fortune.Should
I appreciate his clarity. No more concerns about nukes.
Should I renew my passport? What countries still welcome American tourists?
And Hegseth fired 2 more generals. One was the commander of the churches and all things religion in the military. Guess he wasn't a Xtian Zio.
Well, I am gonna buy some groceries this afternoon while I still can.
Thanks for the OT, friend.

Trump as distraction
We could focus upon, I don't know, our impending doom, and the many layers that need to be removed if we are to survive...
But, you know, Trump or something.
Remove the distraction. Get to the real business.

This is what makes me so bleak.
They certainly are quick and timely and fairly accurate.
Hey, Alex Jones has a pretty good show!
.... It brought me a few deep insights.
For one thing, the AntiChrist really is here on earth — right now. Brought forward by Christian "faith," I suppose. The AntiChrist is occupying people's bodies. This I can see. That's why all this weird insane shit is coming out of People's mouths. All across Western Civilizations. We are going down. Alex Jones. Wow. If you are an intellectually honest critical thinker — there are some things here you really should know about the Western Insanity that is sweeping across the planet.
(Tragically, Alix Jones' insights are catnip for the confused, the delusional, and the dumb. However, this contagious insanity DOES compel the afflicted to reveal their delusional selves, publicly, so you will know who they are. I am talking about serious, physical, epigenetic brain damage, here. Alex Jones is unfortunately a Typhoid Mary, spreading the infection to the weak in mind and body.)
On another note, let's not let this exposure to Jones go to waste:
Please watch the Alex Jones video at the bottom of SOE's essay — from 5:02 to 12:21 — (or from the beginning to 12:21) — where you can literally see the ANTICHRIST in action. This is not to be missed, and it could provide some protective instincts, much like a vaccine.
There are many shocking and significant realities worth noting in this clip. If you watched from the beginning, you saw Trump's statement at 03:30, where he gives away a key psyop from the Neocon plan to harvest the US plantation. If you plan to stay in the US, you will want to know about this ahead of time. Trump is explaining why the Federal government cannot oversee or pay for day care, medicare, education, or anything related to individuals and society. The Federal government can only afford to pay for war and the military.
Trump is absolutely right about that, economically-speaking. All those social services will move to the states, and they must be funded by texes from state residents. This will l happen whether you vote for a Republican or a Democrat. When it does happen, national UNITY between among the American people and the states will crumble and collapse. The People and their possessions will be much easier for Our Overlords to isolate and harvest. This tax shift to the states has always been a necessary part of the Neocon Plan for the US. Breaking unity and community was the key lesson of the American Indian genocide, which the NAZIs took to heart. I only mention it now, so that when the pattern emerges again, you will know what to expect.
The satanic death cult
which is the present administration
does not do their evil deeds for the
sake of the people. They just like to
kill and destroy. Just give them weapons
and soldiers. Those will be eliminated in time.
Maybe nutty yahoo has the trumpet under a
spell? It is all bravado and d*ck swinging madness.
Zionism is a social disease
I'd love to see them shamed to death.
But they are psychopaths, for the most part, and patches of their brains do not show sufficient neural activity for human emotions. Shame and remorse are notably missing from their responses.
Wahington DC has the highest known concentration of psychopaths of any world capitol, according to a much-touted recent survey. And, unsurprisingly, according to the FBI, the US prison population has a very large concentration psychopaths. This includes brain-scan surveys.
This is what we are dealing with in the US and in Western civilization as a whole. Among occupations, CEOs, Boards of Directors, and certain corporate officers have the highest concentration of psychopaths in their ranks. Some Human Resource head-hunters are known to seek out psychopaths for these corporate positions. Needless to say, capitalism is their catnip.
I believe they should sought out and identified at a young age. Between one to three percent of all briths world-wide are believed to be psychopaths. There is no known cure for the disorder. It appears to be a physical deformity in the brain. A notable number of historical figures are believed to be psychopaths. They organized unspeakable evils on this planet. Psychopathic children capture and kill family pets in unspeakable ways. I once knew a woman who, as s teenager, was a babysitter for George W Bush. Both of her parents worked in the State Department. She certainly had stories to tell.... But that was a long time ago, before we knew what a psychopaths was.
Currently, psychopaths are the non-humans who run our Federal government.
Yes, my older brother is in that league
pretty much ruined my life among many others.
No real rhyme nor reason for the trait.
Except for the fact that both of my folks were crazy.
Zionism is a social disease
It is not believed to be inherited.
However, a psychopath in the family can do a lot of life-long damage to other family members.
They are not actually human.
They are a kind of parasite, shaped like a human. I used to call them body snatchers. I've been researching and writing about theme for a very long time. What I say may sound like an opinion, but it is a fact. What is truly bizarre and inexplicable is I am the only one on this planet who is sounding the alarm. I mean, the FBI is neck deep in it, but they have nothing to say. Those who know, do not speak. Probably a good example for me to follow.
I wonder if Trump's proposed 1.5 Trillion $$$ defense budget
will be big enough?
So much winning!
