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 Plan — according to U.S. General Wesley Clark (Ret.) (2 min. VIDEO) – RBoon   – THIS WAS THE BIG PICTURE 20 YEARS AGO. TOOK THEM LONGER THAN THEY THOUGHT, BUT THEY FINALLY GOT TO IRAN

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

There’s a Blood Moon This Week and I’m Trying Not to Be Weird About It – “My boss thinks royalty are vampires and honestly I can’t prove him wrong. So here’s where it gets weird. Or weirder. 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

Trump fires an AI company; clear evidence he’s undermining the American people? – “The AI company is Anthropic. Trump wanted the Department of War to use their tech in ways Anthropic didn’t approve of. So they objected. Then Trump blew his stack. 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

Epstein, MIT Schwarzman Scholars, Blackstone, China CCP, Wuhan, Gates Foundation, Pfizer, Moderna, Harvard, Intelligence And Self Assembly Nanotechnology – Should Someone Investigate This Further? – “Sometime in 2022 someone contacted me anonymously to give me important information. These were files that outlined the connections between Intelligence, corporate entities, vaccine companies, heads of state. When I tried to contact different people and share this information, nobody was interested. I shared some of this on my Substack, but people did not understand the significance. With the release of the Epstein files and many of the connections verified, maybe people will pay more attention and investigate further.” – Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD

NEWS ( MOSTLY ABOUT THE WAR, BUT WHAT ELSE IS THERE AT THE MOMENT )

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’s supreme leader killed in major attack by US and Israel – “Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a major attack by Israel and the United States, Iranian state media confirmed early Sunday, throwing the future of the Islamic Republic into doubt and raising the risk of regional instability.” – Jon Gambrell, Melanie Lidman, Josh Boak and Eric Tucker  – SEE BELOW

The ISNA news agency has described that Arafi, a member of the Guardian Council, is joining President Masoud Pezeshkian and Chief Justice Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei on the body tasked with carrying out the supreme leader’s responsibilities until the Assembly of Experts appoints a permanent successor. ” – Tyler Durden

ECONOMIC NEWS

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

Gold EXPLODES to $5,278! Bitcoin CRASHES 27% While Precious Metals SOAR (VIDEO) – “this is still the early stages of a massive wealth transfer out of US assets, as inflation data shows producer prices surging at a 6% annualized rate and trade deficits hitting $99.3 billion despite Trump’s tariffs. With central banks just beginning their de-dollarization process and Western investors finally waking up to gold’s potential, Schiff predicts 2026 could see the biggest price increases since the 1970s.” – Peter Schiff

BoA Puts Silver at $309 in 2026, But Outside Our Windows Everything Else Is Crashing – “Bank of America’s $309 silver target for 2026 looks almost gentle, a conservative whisper of what’s coming, while outside our windows currency, empires, and certainties quietly burn.” – The Silver Academy

A Huge “Problem” in the Copper Industry – “High copper prices can cover a multitude of sins. But there is a scary trend among the giant copper mines of the world…age and decline. Mines are like loaves of bread in a sandwich shop. When the bread runs out, you start a new batch. And right now, we have a lot of mines coming to the end of their lives.” – Matt Badiali

Emergency Evacuation Planning: 60+ Preparedness Resources for Bugging Out – “While the reasons for bugging out are many, it’s an action that should never be taken lightly, as it could carry significant risks to your safety and security. 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. You need to weigh the options carefully, and always keep self-defense in mind.” – Robert Richardson

LYRIC FOR THE WEEK

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

( Couldn’t Stand The Weather by  Stevie Ray Vaughan )
