Sitting on a Powder Keg

Things are very tenuous around the world, and there are two major hot spots. Western Asia remains volatile with with back and forth firing between Iran and the US...both claiming the other is breaking the ceasefire. Israel continues to occupy Lebanon and attack Hezbollah. The US and Israeli puppets that run the Lebanese government signed away their sovereignty. I don't think Hezbollah will comply, Israel sure isn't. The Ukraine proxy war accelerates with drone strikes targeting Russia with a focus on Crimea. Russian troops are steadily advancing toward the Dnieper. The question remains, will Russia target the drone manufacturing facilities in Europe? Meanwhile the entire world faces an economic disaster with the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Treaty of Versailles 2.0 or Minsk Agreement 3.0?

Was Trump and team played to sign the MOU at Versailles? After all that treaty ended WWI but set the stage for WWII. Pepe explains in the first clip below the signing was moved up to Thursday and the location changed because Mossad planned the assassinate the Iranian delegation in Switzerland. Most people never heard of the Minsk Agreements (there were two) which both Merkel and Hollande (guarantors of the agreement) claimed was a delaying tactic to allow Ukraine to arm, recruit, and build defensive structures. So my question today is the MOU designed to delay in order to regroup, created to lead to another Iran war, or a genuine effort at peace. Whatever the purpose of the MOU this week it was signed, sealed and delivered...

Riding Trump's War and Peace Seesaw

The week began with bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran (John McCain's wet dream), then suddenly the mantra shifted to we have a peace deal. Interesting this happened Thursday as the markets were about to close on Friday. There's been plenty of market manipulation and profit taking during this absurd war of choice. Russia continues its advance in Ukraine as the Ukrainians continue lobbing drones at civilian targets. The question is does Russia strike those drone making facilities in the EU which are supplying them to Ukraine? This week also saw the removal of Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, and at least a hold on Kushner's Epstein Island 2.0 in Albania. And then we have the World Cup games in the US where we are really flying our racist flag. The treatment of the Iranians, the Somalians, and other countries has been horrid and shameful. All that and more below the fold...

The Looming Economic Disaster

The impact of the Hormuz blockade has yet to be really felt. Countries have been tapping into (and not refilling) their strategic reserves. Somehow the market has been manipulated to maintain $100/barrel oil prices, but not for long. Even if the Hormuz was opened back up tomorrow, there will be long term consequences...and it isn't just oil.

Admitting Defeat?

We clearly lost the wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan, and I would argue we've lost the Ukraine proxy war and the war with Iran. We should cut our losses and minimize the chaos, death, and destruction that has become the US trademark and make some sort of peace. However, our ego (and Zionists and MIC handlers) won't allow it. No, we're going to play out our role as the black knight, and go down swinging.

Beware the Ides of March

It is said that Caesar, the Roman general and dictator, received a similar message on March 15, 44 B.C. He did not take the warning to heart and was assassinated by a group of senators. The plot, led by enemies-turned-friends Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, was carried out in the Senate House in Rome. It is said that those who took part in Caesar’s killing believed it would save the Roman Republic. Others have speculated that Caesar’s calendar reform and the rejection of long-held Roman traditions led to his demise.

We are all being figuratively stabbed in the back. The foolish war of choice with Iran is hastening the end of the US empire. Considering our behavior that isn't a bad thing, except for US citizens who will end up paying the price. Additionally, the Ukraine war we engineered has also backfired. Of course as Orwell taught us, TPTB want continuous war. “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.”
― George Orwell

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.

Trump in the China Shop

Trump isn't making peace, he's breaking it across the globe, and instilling ill will for the US around the world. He's on the brink of an illegal invasion of Venezuela, possibly Iran, and escalating the Ukraine proxy war with Russia. As a finale for the political circus ring master, there are tariffs and sanctions here, tariffs and sanctions there, tariffs and sanctions everywhere...all bound to boomerang right back to the US. Looks like the Don's goal is to hasten the end of the US/NATO empire...that certainly appears to be the inevitable outcome to me.

MAGA Schism amid Global Chaos

It's been a busy week for me personally, and for all of us domestically and globally. Much of Trump's base is unhappy with him for the Epstein denial and the pledge to send more arms to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Israel's Palestinian genocide continues unabated, plus this week Israel bombed Damascus. Erdogon pledges payback for the Damascus bombing. China plans to intervene. Every week looks more like WWIII. Let's skim through the highlights below the fold...

The Erosion of the Evil Empire

Nothing to See Here...Move Along

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.
“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
The dialogue above is from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel, The Sun Also Rises.
Nations go bankrupt in the same way. Banking collapses occur in the same way. Currency crises strike in the same way. They all happen gradually... and then suddenly. Sometimes overnight.
There are so many signs of the degradation of the US empire. This week the Epstein Saga is indicative of the decline...hence the subtitle, 'nothing to see here...move along.' First, the idea of entrapping the elite on tape with underage girls in order to control them points to the sickness of our society. Then all the shenanigans and lies about his suicide...I mean come on. Many Trumpeteers were calling for the release of the files. Now they deny there are any files. Do they really think anyone believes that story? None the less that's what they're pushing.
Then there's the on again off again weapons for Ukraine from the US, and our continued support of the Gaza and West Bank genocide...literally starving people and using food to attract Palestinians in order to shoot them...including US mercenaries.
