THE BIG PICTURE

God Will Hear. God Will Answer – “Do you pray every day? Do you pray in moments of crisis or doubt? I don’t pray every day—but I should. I know I should pray, and I know that prayer makes living life easier in ways large and small. There is no doubt but that Jesus wants us to understand that prayer is a good thing, something we should do often. Jesus also reminds us in these same passages that prayer is our communion with God. Prayer is how we turn our hearts and our minds to Him. Prayer is how we open ourselves up to hearing—sensing, perhaps just feeling—what it is He wants from us in any given moment.” – Peter Nayland Kust

It’s Not About Oil: The Global Order Is Quietly Unraveling – “For anyone scrolling the ZeroHedge homepage lately, the headlines read like a greatest-hits compilation of global dysfunction: Middle East escalation, oil volatility, central banks trapped between inflation and recession, debt markets wobbling, and a geopolitical chessboard that increasingly resembles a bar fight. The mainstream explanation for all of this remains predictably narrow—oil politics, regional disputes, or whichever administration currently occupies the White House insisting everything is “mostly under control.” But if you step back from the daily noise, the pattern emerging across the global system looks far larger than the usual petro-politics narrative. What we are witnessing is not simply an oil crisis, or even a geopolitical flare-up. It is the visible turbulence of a systemic transition in the global order.” – Global Intel Hub

The Plan to Reshape the Middle East — And How Iran Could Stop It (VIDEO) – Vrillium  – VERY INTERESTESTING VIDEO. GOOD HISTORY LESSON. TAKE THE TIME TO DIGEST THIS ONE!!!!!!

American Neocons, Israel & Day 7 Of The Iran War – “Nobody is talking about this yet it explains everything. In 1996, a group of American Neocons Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, David Wurmser wrote a policy paper for Benjamin Netanyahu titled ‘A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.’ It explicitly called for: -Removing Saddam Hussein in Iraq -Destabilizing Syria -Military action against Lebanon and IRAN These same men later became senior officials in the Bush administration. Perle advised Rumsfeld. Feith became Undersecretary of Defense. Wurmser became Cheney’s Middle East adviser. But the American public had no interest in fighting these wars. So the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) — co-founded by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz — wrote in September 2000 that transformation would be too slow unless there was ‘some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor.’ One year later, they got their Pearl Harbor.

They Track Every Dollar You Move. They Ignored $378 Million of Epstein’s. – “Try to wire $15,000 to a foreign bank account sometime. You’ll be asked to fill out compliance forms explaining the purpose of the transfer. Your bank’s compliance department will review the transaction. A Currency Transaction Report will be filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. And depending on the bank, you may receive a follow-up phone call asking you to further justify why you’re moving your own money. Try to open a bank account overseas and it gets even more fun.” – James Hickman (Simon Black)

Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, March 7, 2026 (VIDEO) -” “A full solar geoengineering deployment could very well be militarized both because climate change and geoengineering present national security concerns and because militaries typically have the existing logistical and technological capacities to engage in deployment”. For the record, the climate engineering weather / chemical / biological assault in our skies is ultimately about power and control, not protecting populations. Much worse is coming fast, hang on.” – Dane Wigington  – AS I STATED ON THURSDAY, PASSING LAWS ON GEOENGINEERING DOESN’T MEAN SQUAT WHEN IT’S THE MILITARY DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cloud Is a Battlefield, and You’re Enlisted (VIDEO) – “On March 1, 2026, Iranian drones hit three Amazon data centers in the UAE and Bahrain. These were not military bases or weapons depots but buildings full of servers, the kind that process bank transactions, run ride-hailing apps, and store hospital records. Careem went down. Financial systems across the Gulf went dark. AWS told its customers to migrate their data to other regions immediately because the situation was, in their word, “unpredictable.” Most people saw the headline and kept scrolling. Here’s what they missed: those buildings weren’t just running civilian applications. They were running the Pentagon’s AI too, on the same servers, in the same physical facilities, and nobody had been told: not the governments hosting those buildings, not the customers whose data lived inside them, not the communities surrounding them. This wasn’t a bug in the system. It was a feature. And we are only now beginning to understand what that means.” – The Drey Dossier

The AI Wars: You Are Not Prepared – “Yes, the Iranians are now using $20,000 drones to take out billion-dollar radar defense systems, and you’d better believe every military in the world is taking notes. In summary: yes, the drone war has begun, and, as usual, you heard it here first. So, what about the next development in 21st century warfare? So, yes, exactly as predicted, the good old military-industrial complex is laughing all the way to the bank as the bombs rain down on Tehran. But times are changing. The Raytheons, Lockheed Martins and Northrop Grummans of old are being replaced by the next generation of death merchants: AI contractors. It should come as no surprise that all of the fastest-growing military contractors—from Anduril to Helsing to Palantir to, yes, “CHAOS Industries”—are working on AI technologies and autonomous weapons systems.” – James Corbett

Vitamin B12 Deficiency is probably the commonest cause of dementia and probably the easiest to cure – Rhoda Wilson

Canada’s Euthanasia Regime Now Rivals the Nazi Program Canadian Soldiers Died to Defeat – “Canada has now recorded roughly 100,000 deaths under its Medical Assistance in Dying program. That number deserves to be stated plainly because its scale is extraordinary. During World War II Canadians fought in Europe to defeat Nazi Germany. Yet the Nazi regime killed fewer Canadians than the Canadian government has now ended through its own euthanasia system. What began as a narrowly framed medical policy has grown into one of the largest state‑run euthanasia programs in modern history.” – Alexander Muse

New Iran Supreme Leader Chosen, But Identity Concealed, As US-Israeli Strikes Obliterate Tehran’s Energy Resources – “Iran officially announced Sunday that it has chosen its next supreme leader, though the identity of the successor remains under wraps for now, given that already the Assembly of Experts had last week paused the selection process amid the ongoing heavy US-Israeli bombing campaign. The other big concern is that the next Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic will have big target on his back while under the bombs.” – Tyler Durden  – GUESS THEY DIDN’T WANT TRUMP’S CHOSEN ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump Tells UK’s Starmer Thanks But No Thanks on Last-Minute Iran Help: War Is ‘Already Won!’ – “Their army is gone, their navy is gone, their communications are gone, their leaders are gone — two sets of leaders are gone, they’re down to their third set,” he said. “Their air force is wiped out entirely… other than that, they’re doing very well.” – Sean James  -WITH OVER 600,000 IN THEIR ACTIVE ARMY, I DOUBT IF IT IS GONE!!!

With His “Unconditional Surrender” Goal, Trump Signals a Long War – “Historians have long noted that demands for unconditional surrender have worked to prolong conflicts rather than shorten them, leading to needless death on both sides. After all, Trump is essentially saying that the Iranians should put themselves in a position of accepting whatever terms the United States seeks to unilaterally impose, including the total dissolution of the Iranian state, plus sanctions, punishments, occupations and other humiliations. What government would accede to this? ” – Ryan McMaken-

The US & Israel Want To Depopulate Iran’s Capital – “This war might be about to get a lot uglier. Residents of the Iranian capital of Tehran awoke on Sunday to an apocalyptic scene after the US and Israel bombed Iran’s oil storage facilities. A sky-high flaming pillar emerged in the aftermath, toxic smoke clouded out the sun, and blackened rain fell on this city of around 10 million people.” – Andrew Korybko

USA and Israel: Who is the lord and who is the colony? – “Zionism has captured American decision-making and public opinion-forming mechanisms so completely that we could practically compare the unipolar hegemon to a headless golem.” – Raphael Machado

Iran War Shifts to Cynical Plan ‘B’ After US Fails to Fracture ‘Regime’ – “The entire discussion around the Iran war has now turned to Iran’s “diminishing” scale of strikes, with pro-Western commentators claiming that this means Iran is losing and will eventually succumb to the US-Israeli juggernaut. Wrong. This uses the false assumption that Iran’s opening salvo represents some kind of “normal” daily usage which is then sophistically straw-manned to assert that subsequent days are falling “below average”. In reality, the opening salvos are always meant as an anomalously high barrage that is not ever meant to be sustainable.” – Simplicius

After Iran, It’s Turkey – “The final hegemonic war in the Middle East is coming, and preparations are being made to drag America into it. ” – Sumantra Maitra

From the Back Forty: Trump Swipes Left on Noem – Who Might Be Next? – “Plus, the clown car gets valet parking at Rev. Jackson’s memorial. Rev. Jesse Jackson was laid to rest this past week, and as you might have expected of a gathering of Democratic Party operatives, it was not necessarily peaceful. Jesse Jackson Jr. asked for political remarks to be left out of the memorial service. “Do not bring your politics to my father’s services.” That’s akin to telling a hungry lion not to eat a chunk of meat. Then they let Joe and Kamala speak – and that’s rarely a good idea.” – Sarah Cowgill

Biden Tells Majority Black Crowd: ‘I’m a Hell of a Lot Smarter than Most of You’ – “Former President Joe Biden made a rare public appearance Friday and drew criticism over what some observers described as a racially insensitive remark. Biden made the comment during a roughly 20-minute speech honoring Jackson while recounting a story about his childhood and how he was mocked for having a stutter.” – Luis Cornelio

The Man Who Loves To Tax – “The cranky Vermont senator who believes billionaires should be abolished wants to legislate them out of existence. It’s too bad that he doesn’t understand that one billionaire is more valuable than a thousand Bernie Sanders. And what has Sanders done? He’s built nothing and lives to tear down what others have produced. He stirs up resentment, rails against choice, has been trying to slay the oligarch dragons for more than three decades, and wants to force the country to join a commune that he designs and runs.” – I & I Editorial Board

ECONOMIC NEWS

Europe’s Next Crisis. A Natural Gas Supply Collapse? – “Europe is sleepwalking into another energy crisis, which could be worse than the 2022 shock. The Middle East war, a new diplomatic crisis between Spain and the United States, the ongoing conflict with Algeria, and the unresolved dependency on Russian gas supply have combined to drive soaring oil and gas prices, posing a threat to the already fragile European economy.” – Daniel Lacalle

Has the Great Taking Begun? – “The “gates” are closing, If you (like me) keep mixing up Blackstone and BlackRock, you can relax now. They’re both in serious financial trouble, so you can assert that either is “imploding” and be more-or-less right : The above feels disturbingly like the “Great Taking” scenario in which Wall Street and Washington decide to just keep investors’ stocks and corporate bonds, and/or replace them with Treasury paper. But don’t worry, says Blackstone president John Gray.and Solari Report’s Catherne Austin Fitts says yes: The Great Taking Is Here, BlackRock Just Proved It. Folks, I’ve been warning you for years: the central bankers and their trillion-dollar asset managers have engineered a system where they can seize your money at will. It’s called the “great taking,” and it’s not theory, it’s unfolding now.” – John Rubino

Gold Fell on War News. Here’s Why That’s Bullish (VIDEO) – “Peter Schiff breaks down why gold and silver sold off during the first week of the Iran war — and why he believes the market is getting it wrong. While many investors expected war to send precious metals sharply higher, gold finished the week down and mining stocks were hit even harder. Peter explains why this looks like a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact reaction, not the end of the bull market.” – Peter Schiff

SILVER BREAKING POINT? Global War, Rising Rates, and a $240T Bubble (VIDEO) withDavid Jensen – “Jensen argues that escalating conflict in the Middle East and surging energy prices could accelerate inflation and market instability. He says physical gold and silver inventories are being rapidly drained from major trading hubs like London, New York, and Shanghai. With trillions sitting in financial assets and less than $1 trillion of physical metal produced annually, even a small shift into precious metals could send prices dramatically higher. Jensen believes the silver market may be closest to breaking the decades old pricing system.” – Liberty and Finance

Silver Moved First — The Market Saw the War Coming – “And then the unthinkable happened… Silver just delivered one of those moments that makes experienced traders stop and look twice. These are the moments when the tape moves before the headlines. Most investors react after the news arrives, but markets often tell the story first. And when silver moves early, it’s usually worth paying attention. On Friday, February 27th, 2026, silver suddenly surged over 6% in a single session. That kind of move rarely happens without a reason. At the time there was no obvious explanation — no major economic release, no geopolitical shock, nothing large enough to justify such a powerful rally.” – Kerry Lutz

Our Constitution Won’t Save A People Who Aren’t Vigilant – “When was the last time you actually read the Constitution… not a meme, not a quote on social media, not a politician waving a pocket copy… but the real thing? Most Americans talk about it like it’s a security system permanently installed in the walls of the country. As if it hums quietly in the background, automatically blocking corruption, restraining power, and protecting liberty while we go about our business. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the Constitution was never designed to work that way.” – Bill Heid

VERSES FOR THE DAY ( HAVE USED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT’S A GOOD ONE )

Proverbs 30:24-28  There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:  The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;  The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;  The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;  The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
‘Cause they’re working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we’re working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech
To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men
To be young believers

The judge said five to ten, but I say double that again
I’m not working for the clampdown
No man born with a living soul
Can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall ’cause government’s to fall
How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power
D’you know that you can use it?

The voices in your head are calling
Stop wasting your time, there’s nothing coming
Only a fool would think someone could save you
The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don’t owe nothing, so boy get running
It’s the best years of your life they want to steal

You grow up and you calm down
You’re working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown
You’re working for the clampdown
So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now
You drift until you brutalize
You made your first kill now

In these days of evil presidentes
Working for the clampdown
But lately one or two has fully paid their due
For working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
Working for the clampdown

Yeah I’m working hard in Harrisburg
Working hard in Petersburg
Working for the clampdown
Working for the clampdown
Ha! Gitalong! Gitalong
Begging to be melted down
Gitalong, gitalong

THE BIG PICTURE

3 Ways to Keep in Step With God – “This can help place you where you need to be on life’s path.” – Kate Dreston

Preemptive War, Permanent Emergency: The Real Cost of Trump’s Iran Strike – “The military-industrial complex and the American police state have joined forces. War abroad and war at home are no longer separate enterprises. They have fused. This did not happen overnight. Every modern president has stretched the limits of war-making power. Some have shredded those limits altogether. Each time that boundary is breached, the Constitution recedes a little further. This is one of those moments.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Channeling Muhammad Ali – “Some may remember Muhammad Ali – the great boxer – who once explained why he had no interest in being sent to Vietnam. “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong,” he said. He is also said to have said “No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.” His point being that he didn’t want to go to Vietnam – to kill or be killed – because why would he? It was not his fight. It was not America’s fight. Draft-age young men like Ali (at the time) were being told how important it was that they put their lives on the line to end the lives of other young men (as well as women and children and old men) in a distant country that so far as they could see had not attacked this country. It did not make much sense to them. Just as it does not make much sense today. What have the Iranians done to America? Americans are told they are planning to do awful things but is there any reason to believe this? Americans have been told for something like the past 35 years – by “Bibi” Netanyahu – that the Iranians are furtively developing nukes they never seem to develop and that if they ever do develop them, they are certain to use them against the United States. In fact, what “Bibi” dreads is the prospect of Iran being able to defend itself against the Rothschild colony he is the leader of.” – Eric Peters

The Golden Age of Ba’al The Great Deceiver and Beast – “The brutal assassination of the Ayatollah and his family has a parallel – the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution wherein Tzar Nickolas and his entire family were tortuously murdered. The Golden Age that was ushered in as a direct result was hell that lasted 80-90 years before recovery could be measured. But Trump has added a completely new layer to his ‘utopia’ vision, ushering in the AntiChrist per Revelations. Nothing could be finer than believing that anarchic annihilation of multiple countries and their civilizations will cause Lucifer to clap his hands in joy and show himself alongside Trump and Netanyahu in one Big Embrace. Both Netanyahu and Trump have revealed themselves to be great deceivers. Liars.  Russia is only now fully comprehending the extent of the deceit and realizing its impact on them. A shift in its handling of Zelenskky and Ukraine may reverberate as a result.” – Helena Glass

The Iranian ink blot – “Assessing the geopolitics. Iran seems to have become the great global ink blot, a world-spanning Rorschach test at once of surpassing complexity, scope, and divisiveness. The responses thereto come from 100 angles each likely revealing as much about the speaker as about the events themselves and, to be honest, an awful lot of what is being said is just plain bunk, made up facts, faulty calculations, emotive slop, and outright rage baited lunacy crashing into an already toxic political environment governed by rank tribalism. Meanwhile, like it or lump it, a new world order rooted not in the soft power deference (some would say capitulation) but in the hard power exigencies of what was once called the “great game” among great powers is being forged” – El Gato Malo

What Happens Next In Iran? Decapitation, Quagmire Or WWIII? -“Before I begin this analysis of the situation in the Middle East and its consequences, I want to warn people that this examination is going to be largely secular and nuanced; which means people on both sides of the divide are going to piss and moan about it. Frankly, I don’t care. To be clear, I’m not interested in the “plight” of the Palestinians, the Islamic regime in Iran or the conspiracy theories of “groypers.” I find appeals of empathy and compassion for Islamic societies to be naive – They are perfectly indifferent and hostile to the west, they always have been. In fairness, I also don’t care about the Israeli government and I have no vested interest in whether or not they survive. I recognize many Christians would disagree with this position in the belief that Israel is the only western ally keeping watch over the Holy Land. I argue that it should be western Christians (not Israelis) in charge of the region, given it was ours (through the Holy Roman Empire) for centuries, until the Muslim hordes invaded. I’m also aware that there are numerous disinformation agents online who are paid by both sides. Israel as well as Islamic governments run these digital operations constantly.” – Brandon Smith  – AGREE OR DISAGREE, STILL A GOOD ANALYSIS FROM BRANDON, AS USUAL, I TRY TO SHOW ALL SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Many Perils of America’s War on Iran – “Hegseth Boasts of War Without Mercy; What We Need Is Merciful Peace. Hegseth also doesn’t know something fundamental: You can’t do a wrong thing the right way. The Iran War is wrong. It’s illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and also extremely dangerous. There’s no way to prevail in a war fought for the wrong reasons, a war fought without clear goals, a war that is already beginning to spiral out of control. But Hegseth thinks if the U.S. launches enough missiles, drops enough bombs, and torpedoes enough ships, somehow the U.S. will “win.”” – Bill Astore

Divide et Impera (Divide and Rule) – “The recent, more extensive release of the Epstein Files was the closest the ruling class has come to being exposed in centuries. The war in Iran changed the subject. As I write this post, I can already hear the protests that I am “defending the monstrous Iranian regime.” NO I AM NOT.

Rubio Says US Had to Strike Iran Because Iran Would Defend Itself If Attacked – “The conflicting explanation comes as CENTCOM is reportedly calling for troops to “Be Relentlessly Lethal.” ” -Sharon Zhang

Rubio’s Preposterous Preventive War Argument – “There is in fact no “kick them while they’re down” exception to the prohibition on the use of force. Marco Rubio tries to spin U.S.-Israeli aggression: This is Rubio’s attempt at damage control, but this answer is even worse than the one he gave the day before. If the U.S. and Israel hadn’t attacked, U.S. forces weren’t going to get “hit” at all. The president’s threat against Iran was the main reason that American troops were in any danger in the first place. Trump put them all in harm’s way the moment he gave the order to strike. The president chose to get Americans killed and injured for no good reason. That is the shameful policy that Rubio is so ineptly defending.” – Daniel Larison

And believe it or not, Congress is going along with it. Setting aside the absurdity of the question of if killing a head of state is an act of war, there’s a deadly serious question here: what even is war anymore? Does last month’s killing of a Mexican cartel leader like El Mencho count? Or how about the kidnapping of Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro the month before?” – Ken Klippenstein

Good Riddance, Jasmine Crockett Texas – “Democrats have had enough of her traveling circus. I have, too. The results of Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Texas delivered a clear political message: voters are tired of listening to Rep. Jasmine Crockett. And thank fucking god she lost, because I am too. Crockett, who spent much of her short national career cultivating a reputation as the politician who can constantly be wrong the loudest and with the most attitude, was defeated by Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who was nowhere near as prominent on national television and who many people have likely ever heard of.” – Quoth the Raven

London’s Hidden Financial Front in the Iran Conflict – “When War Risk Insurance Breaks, Trade Breaks. What allows the voyage to occur is an insurance contract. Without insurance, banks will not finance the cargo, ports will not accept the vessel, and charterers will not sign the voyage. Insurance, in other words, functions as the license that permits global commerce to operate. The most important financial consequence of the Iran conflict may therefore have little to do with oil prices. It may instead involve stress in the insurance system that underwrites maritime trade.” – Alexander Muse

Fed is Adding $20B a Month to the Balance Sheet – “The new presumptive Fed Chair Warsh has said that he does not like the use of the Fed balance sheet. Unfortunately, he will likely find it far harder to shrink than he would like. The only reason 2026 is showing as negative is the reduction of Reverse Repos in January.” – Peter Schiff

Is Graphene The Next Big Boom? (VIDEO) with Kjirstin Breure – “Have you heard of graphene? It’s a 2-dimensional variety of the element carbon — known as a carbon “allotrope” — — consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. Graphene is known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, transparency, and being the thinnest two-dimensional material in the world. Despite the nearly transparent nature of a single graphene sheet, graphite (formed from stacked layers of graphene) appears black because it absorbs all visible light wavelengths. On a microscopic scale, graphene is the strongest material ever measured. Graphene is a versatile, ultra-strong, and highly conductive material used to enhance batteries (faster charging), create durable anti-corrosion coatings, develop flexible electronics, improve solar panel efficiency, and advance biomedical applications like drug delivery.

Should You Add Livestock To Your Homestead? 10 Questions To Ask Before You Start – “Every spring, like clockwork, the feed stores fill up with fluffy chicks. Social media is covered in baby goats. Your neighbor posts about fresh eggs. And suddenly you’re asking yourself: Is this the year we finally add livestock to our homestead? If you’re craving more self-sufficiency, better food security, and a deeper connection to your land, adding animals can feel like the natural next step. But livestock is a serious commitment financially, physically, and emotionally. Before you bring home that first chick, goat, or calf, let’s walk through what you really need to consider.” – Homesteaders of America

New Research Reveals The Truth About Bentonite Clay – “For homestead life, bentonite clay has long held a quiet place of honor. It sits in mason jars beside baking soda and Epsom salt. It gets stirred into face masks, dabbed on bug bites, and sometimes even mixed into water as a “detox.” Here’s the key takeaway. Bentonite behaves less like a magical internal chelator and more like a heavy-duty sponge. In other words, it mostly stays inside the digestive tract. It doesn’t roam through your bloodstream pulling mercury from your bones. Instead, it sits in the gut and binds charged molecules and metals present in the intestinal contents, carrying them out in the stool. That distinction matters. It means bentonite can reduce what gets absorbed into circulation in the first place—but it is not vacuuming decades of stored toxins out of tissues. For off-grid readers dealing with questionable grain storage, mold-prone barns, or livestock feed risks, that gut-level binding effect isn’t trivial. Preventing absorption at the door is often easier than trying to fix damage later.” – Bill Heid

THE BIG PICTURE

No Hiding Place – “As the immortal first verses of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 remind us, everything has its time, including God’s wrath. Does this mean the US and Israeli attacks on Iran are akin to a holy war—a crusade? No. There is nothing holy about war, and this war, brief as it has been, is no exception. It does mean that the US and Israel are but instruments of the consequences God has decreed for Iran. It also means that consequence will eventually come for the United States and Israel as well. No matter how righteous the intent, no matter how certain each nation is that its actions against Iran are right and righteous, the United States and Israel will each receive its due measure of consequence in its time. There was no hiding place for Khamenei. There will be no hiding place for Israel. There will be no hiding place for the United States. ” – Peter Nayland Kust

Wars and Rumors of Wars – “Trump and Netanyahu open the gates of Hell. So now the die is cast and the United States has joined Israel in an unprovoked attack on a non-threatening Iran to destroy its military capabilities and to bring about regime change. This is a major mis-step that could easily turn out very badly as it is a pointless war of choice that could easily escalate to neighboring states and become nuclear if a reckless Israel decides it needs to “defend” itself against an Iranian response. US Navy vessels might also find themselves vulnerable to Iranian missiles.” – Philip Giraldi

PSYOP-WW3 GUEST POST: Rational Skepticism in the Fog of War – “For those who are sure that what is happening to Iran is about freeing the people, I would highly suggest you educate yourself about something called the Yinon Plan, which was published in 1982, and details a strategy to fragment and balkanize the Middle East so Israel could pursue its “greater Israel” strategy of seizing much of the land from its neighbors. In it, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and finally, Iran, are targeted as essential to destroying resistance to the plan. I would also direct you to General Wesley Clark’s warning after 9-11, when he came to the pentagon and heard the full neocon plan, Took a bit longer, but neocons, and the bankers, and Israel, are patient and persistent. In other words, if you are ignorant of the Yinon Plan and how it lays out the strategy Netanyahu has advanced since his book in 1985, you are ignorant of why these events are occurring. The reason they haven’t varied the “free the people” idiocy is because there is a segment of the American population that buys it every time, and is too dim and lacking in self-awareness to understand the bigger game afoot.” – Russel Blake via 2nd Smartest Guy in the World     – HAVE LINKED THE VIDEO OF  WESLEY CLARK WARNING BEFORE, BUT HERE IT IS AGAIN AND ALSO AS A BONUS VIDEO FOR TODAY!!!

The Merger That Needed A War (VIDEO) – “I need your focus for a few minutes on something that slipped through the noise today, and may not get another window soon. While Israel struck Iran and the United States moved in behind them, while every newsroom in the country was [rightly] covering one of the most consequential moments in years, Oracle Corporation quietly published a blog post announcing that the U.S. government had authorized it to run generative AI on federal government data. That means pattern recognition, automated data analysis, and decision-making tools now approved to operate on your Medicare records and military systems, cleared at the highest civilian and Department of Defense security levels. (And yes, Oracle also just took over the infrastructure running your Medicaid and ACA data — that happened this week too, and we’ll get there.)” – The Drey Dossier

The full moon was a major symbol of the Persian Empire. Their calendar was lunar. The crescent and star that later became associated with Islam actually has roots in ancient Persian and Mesopotamian symbolism. The moon goddess was huge in that region for thousands of years before anyone showed up with a Bible.” – Lily-Rose Dawson  – INTERESTING READ FROM LILY

Yeah, OK, we get it. you’re the Big Cheese and you make the big decisions. However, Anthropic had a whole different interpretation of the situation. They released a statement before Trump went on his rant. Anthropic basically said the US government wanted to use its AI tech to carry out surveillance of American citizens, and also to deploy autonomous military weapons—and the company couldn’t agree to those uses:” – Jon Rappoport

The War With Iran – “End It Now” – Bert Powers / (John Barleycorn)  – SHORT AND TO THEPOINT. AGREE 100% WITH BERT ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Happens Now? – “The war we all knew was coming that almost no one except the secular religious maniacs – Zionists and their shills – wanted is on. Iran, which hasn’t attacked any other country, is under attack by this country and that other country that has acquired operational control over this country. Iranians are dead and more will be, which is no trivial thing if you are troubled by the killing – the murder – of other people by agents who claim to be acting on your behalf, that you were compelled to finance via the money they take from you to build bombs and such to kill other people with. It makes you complicit without your consent, which is doubly awful because what can you do about it? Americans may be dead as I type this also. Americans may wonder why it is that they are dying in the Middle East (again) for reasons that have nothing to do with their own interests. It is a question more Americans appear to be asking than ever before. Americans, by and large, did not want this war. Yet they are now at war. It is an incredible thing. The Iranians know that if they lose, Iran becomes something like the Gimp in Pulp Fiction. This is understood and it is why the fight back will likely be all-out. Ask yourself what you’d do if faced with a similar fight. Would you use anything you had to hurt and hopefully maim and kill your attacker? Of course you would.” – Eric Peters

Operation Epstein’s Fury Is A Roaring Success! – “Bibi Netanyahu has again salvaged his prime ministership, and the hapless Donald Trump hopes the markets won’t move too badly this week. After all, his advisors and partners told him this would be easy, and good for his presidency. A cakewalk, if you will. Israel will do the heavy lifting, they said. Saturday’s attack on Iran was posed as a decapitation strike; it also decapitated several dozen schoolgirls in southern Iran within the first few hours, but that’s just war, right? Much like his penchant for regime change, Trump, like his predecessors, also believes in nanny-stating the rest of the world. Support and coziness with terror groups, like ISIS or Hamas? Only allowed when Israel and the US do it. Trump and Bibi – and past US administrations – bedhop with the best of them, and they are jealous bitches. This is not America’s war. But it is important to DC. It slowrolls the Epstein fallout and diverts attention from Trump’s anti-MAGA subservience to the ruling elite and Israel. We’ve seen it before, with Clinton’s Monica missiles, and how George W. Bush’s unpopular low energy performance that was suddenly cured when he looked up from his book about goats to become the most popular fascist centralizer since FDR.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Iran is not Iraq – “Washington confronts a different kind of war” – Fyodor Lukyanov

Murder and Martyrdom in Iran What Is Really at Stake in the War to Determine the Future of Iran? – “The partnership of the United States and Israel is now embodied in the perverse relationship between Trump and Netanyahu. This lurid partnership forms the lynch pin enabling the world’s greatest practitioners and exporters of mass terrorism to continue their monumental crime spree with impunity. The wicked and radical partnership between Trump and Netanyahu is taking to heightened levels the diabolical collaboration energizing recent rounds of state-sponsored atrocities. This corporatist tsunami of US-Israel-backed terrorism threatens to soak the earth with even greater outpourings of blood and guts. The murder of Ayatollah Khamenei adds to the infamy of the long list of martyred Muslim leaders assassinated by the thugs encircling the Jewish supremacist mob boss, Bibi Netanyahu. Netanyahu epitomizes the Luciferian core currently embodying the war mongering essence of the Judeo-Christian heritage these days.” – Anthony James Hall

Iran Attack Escalation May Hurt China’s Economy More Than Anyone – “Every time there is tension in the Middle East, we read that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz. It is important to remind readers that Iran has never actually shut down the strait. It has threatened to do so many times but has never followed through. Moreover, a closure of the Strait of Hormuz would primarily hurt China, as about 76% of traffic through it goes to the Asian giant, with less than 4% going to the United States and around 7% to the European Union. China is one of the few key partners of the Iranian regime, purchasing close to 90% of Iran’s exports. A shutdown would therefore damage China the most,” – Daniel Lacalle

Becuase this topic is so deadly serious, we have compiled our top bug out bag checklists and evacuation planning guides to help you formulate a plan of action. Bugging out without a place to go is a recipe for disaster. You need to know exactly where you’re going and exactly how you are going to get there, including alternate routes in case your plans go bad. Planning to live off the land without ever having done it before is not going to work. Don’t be one of those people who thinks he’s going to be some wilderness nomad wandering the countryside. Evacuating increases your risk of being attacked during an extreme crisis, such as a disaster where people may be targeting those with supplies.

Comin’ through this business of life
There’s rarely time if I’m needed to
Ain’t so funny when things ain’t feelin’ right
Then daddy’s hand helps to see me through
Sweet as sugar love won’t wash away
Rain or shine, it always here to stay
All these years you and I’ve spent together
All this, we just couldn’t stand the weather

Like a train that stops at every station
We all deal with trials and tribulations
Fear hangs the fell
ow that ties up his years
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears
Changes come before we can go
Learn to see them before we’re too old
Don’t just take me for tryin’ to be heavy
Understand, it’s time to get ready for the storm

Byzantium 2.0? – The “Financialist” type can be defined with precision. Its members derive power and profit not from production, innovation, or trade—what we should call “licit” wealth creation—but from financial engineering, the manipulation of debt, control of currency issuance, and the extraction of rent from the productive economy. When BlackRock manages $10 trillion in assets—a sum greater than the economies of all but three nations—it exercises power that’s not merely economic but fundamentally political. When the chair of the Federal Reserve can move markets with a single sentence, that’s power without societal mandate. When Treasury secretaries and central bankers move seamlessly between government service and employment by the very institutions they once regulated, that’s not conspiracy; it’s type cohesion.” – E.M.

Moving to Escape the Spanbergering? – “Virginia has gone very deep blue. Possibly forever blue. Leftists – this idea that there are still “Democrats” in a party controlled by Leftists is just silly – control the state legislature, the governorship and the attorney generalship. The majority of the state is still red, but has that made any difference in Washington or Oregon or California? It is not likely to make much difference in Virginia, either. So – what is to be done? One option – to leave the state for some other state, where the situation is said to be better – is often suggested. But is it actually – meaningfully – better in any other state? To some extent, yes” – Eric Peters

The Champions of Dystopia – “One gets the feeling that the GOP has officially resigned. An issue that has an 80-20 favorability nationwide cannot be passed by the US Senate. That’s not just Republicans. For them, it’s a 96-4 issue and they still can’t muster the votes, because they don’t want to. They don’t want election integrity, because then they’d win and by winning they lose. Campaign contributions come flowing in when the Democrats are in charge and since the Democrats use NGO funds for their campaigns rather than voter donations (though they get a lot of them, too) they don’t have to please the voters. All they have to please are the rabid leftists within their party, the globalists, the anti-Americans, the open borders crowd.” – T.L. Davis

The dark side of the House of Windsor – “There is certainly something rotten flowing in the depths of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Andrew, who is no longer a prince, duke, earl, or baron, having lost all his titles and the rights associated with them, nevertheless remains the brother of King Charles III, the current sovereign of the United Kingdom. If we are referring to controversies involving the British royal family, however, the figure of Charles III quickly brings us to the strange death of Princess Diana, who was once the wife of the British king when he was still the Prince of Wales. Diana was Princess of Wales and wife of the current King Charles from 1981 until 1996, when she divorced him. We will never know the real reasons for the divorce, beyond the publicly given explanations, which include, for example, the prince’s infidelities, as well as constant pressure from the royal family on her. But then there are those who insist that part of Diana’s tensions with the royal family involved much deeper secrets that the princess allegedly became aware of, including the involvement of royal family members with pedophilia and sexual abuse. We cannot be certain about anything of that sort, but Jimmy Savile’s friendship with members of the British royal family is certainly disconcerting.” – Raphael Machado
