monthly cost of $7.97 billion as of November 2025.
With the war costing $2 billion a day in the Middle East, billions more to Ukraine since 2014, billions more with over 800 bases worldwide, billions more with the private bombing of Niger and Somalia and the public cannot keep up and is falling farther and farther behind.
Trump is using a fake Iranian gov to pump and dump. Larry Johnson said today he was told Kushner and Whitkoff have made around $200 billion since they started to negotiate with Ukraine and Iran all a front to get more money. The real estate guys acting a diplomats is a joke.
These people are simply committing treason by wanting illegals to replace the existing citizens giving them more rights and privileges especially committing crimes such as rape with no repercussions. This judge just slapped all of us citizens in the face and a big FY! Violence erupts with the system overloaded by the massive costs involved and chaos is the result. This is the Cloward-Piven agenda. Canada is murdering the low income, depressed or useless whites. Spain gives free medical like almost all western countries do but forces the existing population to pay which is an intentional slap in the face just as this judge tossed the lawsuit out. Jailed in the UK and other western countries for objecting. All wanting the existing population to be repopulated with a completely different culture as we have been depopulated for decades by chemicals in the food supply, spraying the atmosphere, GMO food filling but no value whatsoever in keeping us healthy as they build our digital prisons using AI as cover using the massive database centers to actually store all our personal information then used in controlling us. Bondi is there to make sure no charges are filed but to continue this operation of total control of repopulation and depopulation.
Cloward and Piven strategy! These were two communist professors who devised a plan to take down the capitalist structure of the United States through mass illegal migration that overwhelms U.S. social safety net programs and local governments. It is an intentional plan to collapse the U.S. and bring in a new (global) regime that will issue ‘guaranteed basic income’ to all. REPLY:
The four steps of the Cloward-Piven Strategy: 1. Overload and Break the Welfare System
2. Have Chaos Ensue
3. Take Control in the Chaos
4. Implement Socialism and Communism through Government Force
Overburden the bureaucracy to break the system, create controlled chaos, usurp power as civil unrest peaks, and offer government aid as the only solution. Cloward and Pivenwanted to overburden the welfare system at the state level to eliminate state rights. ...under this theory, government is encouraged to market a crisis, antagonize the people, and offer a solution. The only solution being to replace capitalism with socialism or communism by which the people would be entirely dependent on government. You will own nothing and be happy.
“The demise of America has to come from within,” Bukele told Tucker Carlson. “The enemies have to be inside. No external enemy can cause so much damage as internal. It is an internal operation. You’re watching an internal operation here. You can see them and see these cities that were pristinely beautiful 30 years ago are wastelands now,” he stated. He went on to say that he admits he is from a third-world country but would feel unsafe in any US city due to violent crime.
Now Bukele was harshly criticized for rounding up the criminals but it worked. Crime is on the rise in America but our policies are continually favoring the criminals. “When you look how the cities are eroding so fast, this has to be by design. I mean who would make so many stupid decisions?” Bukele asked Carlson. “They’re literally giving some people drugs in some us cities, or they say we’re going to give you money if you don’t work. They make all these laws that make no sense. If they have high crime, they say okay I have a solution, let’s defund the police.”
I continually point to the Cloward-Piven Strategy of creating civil unrest. Look at what the Open Society Foundation promoted during the last election. They funded protests in all major US cities, violent protests where people were murdered and small business were burned to the ground. They funded the media to report on how the criminals were misunderstood and the police needed to be defunded.Some ask whether people have simply lost their minds after COVID. Perhaps, but the real reason the US is spiraling down internally is INTENTIONAL. Burn it down to BUILD BACK BETTER. Martin A.
So utterly ridiculous as they have no clue how many Iran has in the first place. Reminds me of Ursula who kept ranting the Russia's are using chips from washers and other appliances and are out of missiles and using shovels, 325 times. It is the US and Israel that are running out which is why they are trying to get as many from allies as they can. Israel has no defense left to speak of. Trump will go down in history as the guy who destroyed the world economy attacking whoever they feel like attacking that day and broke the ability of the US government to keep funding itself.
China is State Capitalism verses the US with corrupt capitalism that only benefit a few. Living standards have been going down since the 60s as the country is being hollowed out by these same corrupt capitalists but in reality are totalitarian and marxist which is what the one world government is all about with the wall street private banking cartel running the show.
You screwed with their trade and now its payback. It is showing those in the Trump admin are clueless as they thought they could get away with all this crap with no consequences. Who in their right mind would invest in the US or build a factory here when the government cannot be trusted and the consumer economy is tanking. Congress leaving on a two week vacation says it all when most Americans are struggling. Where is our $2000 promised, the closing of the IRS, audits of gold, the Pentagon with a true audit, the FED, no more regime changes, no more wars, prosecutions of Fauci and gang, Epstein gang eating children, etc, etc, etc. Bondi and Patel were placed in office to stop prosecutions.
Trump is either being told Iran is negotiating or the neocons are doing it with a shadow group if regime change succeeds. One thing is sure Iran, China, and Russia can outlast the US and Israel with Europe entering a deep depression. Nine months from now food will be unaffordable for many as over 50% of Americans were struggling before this disaster by Trump and his neocons. I watched a live vid the other day with the guy asking viewers to comment on gas and diesel prices in our area. One city in the US has diesel at slightly over $7 gal. The majority had diesel at over $5 gal. Powell appears to be moving in the same disastrous agenda as Volcker during the so called Arab oil embargo. Rate increases do not effect Cost Push inflation only Demand Driven inflation caused by spending.
How are those US weapons along with the Germans, French and British working out so far in Ukraine? What has been exposed is that US defense missiles are almost worthless. The Pentagon like NASA and many other agencies are nothing more but money laundering machines charging for overpriced crap while a few become very, very wealthy. I saw a military expert commenting on the downing of the F-18 and he described the missile taking it down was from a Manpad which can be bought on the blackmarket for a few thousand for older models.
Trump and his ego got us into this war with his handlers either lying to him or he has truly lost his mind. No common sense nor knowledge of the history of those countries being bombed. He still rants that Iran was making a nuke and I have been hearing this since a few years after the 1979 coup removing the US puppet. I think what Trump and these neocons have done is not only destroy the world economy especially the US but will push Iran to make a nuke for self defense like North Korea. I trust Iran more with nukes that the US or Israel and God help us all if Zelensky gets one. Rates are rising with everything collapsing. The US is losing this war with parts of Tel Aviv looking like Gaza and Lebanon as both Israel and US bomb residential areas, businesses, hospitals, schools, etc. exactly like in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria using US backed terror groups.
🚨 $30 TRILLION BOND MARKET COLLAPSE - Iran War Is SHATTERING U.S. Economy | EXPLAINER
Mohammad Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament and military leader, warned that the war has entered “a new phase”:
“Israel’s skies are defenseless … It seems the time has come to implement the next phase of our pre-designed plans …”.
There is little doubt, according to military commentator Will Schryver, that U.S. magazine depth (the U.S.’ storage sites) isapproaching exhaustion and sortie generation has collapsed due to maintenance backlog and logistical sustainment incapacity. U.S. manned aircraft still do not penetrate deeply into Iranian airspace. Iran however, claims that their own magazine depth is plentiful.
Trump in the last days has upped the ante – giving Iran an ultimatum: ‘Open Hormuz within 48 hours or your civilian power plants will be progressively destroyed – starting with the biggest first’. (Iran’s biggest plant happens to be the joint Iranian-Russian operated Bushehr plant). It seems that Trump still looks to a quick Iranian capitulation. However, Iran has already rejected the ultimatum and has responded with one of its own.
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei’s ultimatum to Trump
In a tightly structured 12-minute address, Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei moved from familiar rhetoric into something far more consequential. The opening half of his address followed the expected script, but as reported by Lebanese commentator Marwa Osman:
“[M]idway through, the tone shifted from retrospective to strategic. Sayyed Khamenei outlined three concrete demands, each with a defined timeline: A rapid U.S. military withdrawal from the Middle East: a full rollback of sanctions within 60 days, and long-term financial compensation for economic damages”.
“Then came the ultimatum: Fail to comply, and Iran escalates, economically, militarily, and potentially nuclearly.Not hypothetically, but operationally: Closing the Strait of Hormuz, formalizing defence ties with Russia and China, and moving from ambiguity to declared nuclear deterrence”.
The timing of external reactions was just as telling. Within hours, both Beijing and Moscow issued statements aligning in a carefully worded, yet unmistakable way, with the new Supreme Leader’s framing, suggesting coordination.
The war is entering a new phase. Trump has an eye on how the war is and will ‘play’ at home in the run-up to the November mid-term elections. U.S. minds on how, or whether, to vote tend to be made by September/October. His team is searching wildly to find the exit from the war that, by the summer, might project a plausible ‘win’ for Trump – if such a thing is even possible.

Iran’s Audacious Strategic Moves – Declared "Missile Dominance Over the Occupied Territories"; a Warning of "Nuclear Deterrence"
The US and Israel continue to bomb citizens including schools, hospitals, businesses as Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, Bessent, Kushner, etc are all psychopaths continuing genocide exactly what is also taking place in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. How convenient Congress goes on a recess while the innocent continue to be murdered. As the professor states, "We have the best Congress that money can buy!" They are showing us all how empires die but they will take us down with them as the economy is tanking.
Born in the 50s and brainwashed and conditioned really from birth as most parents were also the same way, to fear the USSR, Mao's Communist China and those in the Middle East. Today it is the US and western world who are evil and have been since after WWII. We have corrupt capitalism with no single payer healthcare but everything is for profit. The whole west is being hollowed out with living standards collapsing and the fall of the once great consumer society is being stretched to its limits and breaking point. Hungary, Russia, China and Iran are the only sane voices in a world gone mad with the whole west having the most incompetent people history has known. Many times I wondered how could a country allow evil people to rule over them like Hitler and the people there allow regimes changes, wars, genocide, killing children intentionally. I looked in the mirror and realized the Americans are in that same boat. We are intentionally being beaten down psychologically and economically. As Klause Schwab warned a few years back, prepare for "shocks" but there is no where to run.
Vance is simply another neocon pretending he is not. His chances of running for prez and getting elected are now zero. Colonel Wilkerson said that his sources have told him that the Marines are losing 1/3 thrd of their soldiers per year as they are no longer wanting to stay because of all these wars. He also goes over what Trump says about the war is not reality and someone is briefing him with out right lies. Planes are not flying over Iran with impunity as they shoot their missiles way before getting to Iranians airspace which another jet was shot down just in the last 48 hours. The US and Israel are bombing residential neighborhoods, businesses, hospitals, schools, clinics, etc. besides infrastructure like power plants, desalination facilities all against international law and crimes against humanity just as they have done in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Belgrade, eastern Ukraine now Russia, Somalia, Nigeria, etc, etc, etc,. Look for Iran soon to announce they have a nuke and Trump will go down in history as the guy who had US forces driven out of the ME, Gulf states pulling capital and redirecting to Hong Kong, China offering Taiwan a lifeline so their economy will not shut down which is another nail in the US agenda of more wars.
COL. Lawrence Wilkerson : Why Trump Is Wedded to Israel
Back in 1990 in the Jerusalem Post Netanyahu stated: “If we get caught they will replace us with persons of the same cloth. So it doesn't matter what we do, America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry., chop it up, sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world's biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because its God's will and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again, again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly"
Another Steele dossier as the EU scumbags try everything to discredit Hungary. Iran has let Spain send ships thru the straits without any fees because they opposed the US war against Iran publicly. Trump has now caused worldwide disruptions in world trade not once but twice now, tariffs and now war. The world is truly seeing how dumb this whole administration really is and it didn't help sending two real estate people to act as diplomats with no experience at all. Kushner is the main agitator as Russia and Iran has said Whitkoff alone was negotiable but when Kushner is there, sparks fly. Next year widespread hunger will spread as farmers run out, can't replace or prices too high for fertilizer as Russia is ramping up everything not for the west but their markets are Asia.
Iran Waives Fees for Spanish Ships Passing Through Strait
Posted Mar 27, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
Spread the love
Spain has now emerged in an unexpected position in the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Reports indicate that Iranian authorities are allowing Spanish-linked vessels to pass without the heavy tolls or restrictions imposed on others. Spain is not the largest maritime power moving through Hormuz. However, it is deeply integrated into European shipping networks, ports, and energy supply chains. That means any preferential treatment can ripple across Europe and influence how trade is routed.
What is unfolding is not just control of a chokepoint. It is selective control. Iran has made clear that only “non-hostile” vessels may pass freely. Others face restrictions or high fees. This transforms the strait from a neutral international waterway into a politically managed corridor. Once access depends on alignment rather than law, globalization begins to fracture.
The scale of the disruption is significant. Under normal conditions, about 130 to 140 ships pass through the strait daily. These vessels carry roughly 20 million barrels of oil, close to one-fifth of global supply. Recent reports suggest traffic has dropped sharply. Some estimates show only a handful of ships moving per day, with total monthly crossings far below normal levels. This is no longer a stable trade route. It is operating under wartime conditions.
If Spanish-linked ships move more freely, they gain a cost advantage. Markets will respond quickly to that distortion. Other European actors may try to route cargo through Spain. They may use Spanish partnerships, flags, or intermediaries to bypass higher costs. This is how arbitrage works. It does not wait for political approval.
Iran’s decision centers around Spain’s refusal to support the US and Israel in this war. Not only has Spain refused to offer support, it has openly condemned actions taken against Iran. Now those who supported sanctions and military aid tied to Ukraine and will see this as a betrayal. They accepted economic costs for a unified policy. Now they face higher shipping costs while another member gains relief. That undermines the idea of a coordinated European response. This is how alliances begin to weaken. You cannot maintain unity when access to critical trade routes is uneven. Some countries gain advantages, others absorb losses. Over time, that creates internal competition rather than cooperation.
From a capital flow perspective, the outcome is predictable. Capital moves toward efficiency. If Spain offers a cheaper path through a restricted chokepoint, flows will shift in that direction. That concentrates activity and amplifies divisions across Europe. The deeper issue is structural. The Strait of Hormuz is no longer functioning as an open route but as a controlled gateway.
Trade is now being filtered through alliances rather than markets. That shift has already begun.
An interesting thing about those computer forecasts is what Colonel Larry Wilkerson said over a month ago. His former boss was in charge of war simulations and ran them against China and Russia and of course the US lost as it cannot defeat a country who has the sphere of influence in a region. What shocked the DC crowd with panic was against Iran and the US losing with massive casualties so they were ask to run it again. Iran still won and this was over two decades ago when Iran had not acquired drones, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, over the horizon radar, etc. Supposedly Russia has sent S-400 defense systems with China sending interceptor missiles which is also supposedly what are being used to target and shoot down US jets. If they send in their S-500 or S-550 systems, the later can shoot down satellites making the US go dark over the Middle East then forced to use planes with radar flying 24 to 7 and targets.
The censorship for this war both in Israel and the US is off the charts. German media as Al Jazeera are reporting respectively 600 US soldiers killed and with the latter 560 flown into Germany to the large US military hospitals there as well as the wounded. Alexander Mercouris reported yesterday that Hong Kong averages $2 to $3 billion a month in capital from Gulf states for investment with the bulk going to the US and Europe. They are now seeing flows of $40 billion a month as capital is being redirected to the east. This is how empires fall a little at a time. Taiwan is out of everything in about 8 days and will be forced to shut down everything especially chip making. Guess who sends them a lifeline from total collapse? China. Trump has totally underestimated this war on Iran and China will take back their territory recognized already by agreement without firing a single shot. When a nation faces total collapse and no energy, raw materials, food, etc., and their main "protector" cannot help and is laid bare to the world, they make deals and that is coming from China, not US.
The Cycles Warn The US Cannot Defeat Iran
Posted Mar 26, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
Spread the love
QUESTION: Do you think Trump will send in troops and what will be the result?Will Iran defeat the United States?
ZT
ANSWER: You’re asking the question that NOBODY in Washington wants to confront. Will the United States be defeated by Iran?
Based on my cyclical analysis, historical precedent, and current trajectory, let me give you the answer that will make the neocons furious: YES. The United States will be defeated in Iran—not necessarily not just on the battlefield, but STRATEGICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, and POLITICALLY.
Sending in troops that end up with thousands in returning home in body-bags will show the entire world that Iran can defeat the mighty USA. That will send a smoke signal to Russia and China that the US cannot possible defend both Europe and Taiwan while also tied up defending Netanyahu.
Sending in troops will be a suicide mission. This is not going to be D-Day. We do not have the troops to conquer Iran, and Netanyahu does not care how many Americans will die for his personal vendetta. Iran has a major army, and this is NOT going to be a cakewalk. The advice being given to Trump is such a bald-faced lie that it is putting the entire world at risk, all for the defense of the sadistic character of Netanyahu. Sending in troops will be a suicide mission. We do NOT have the personnel to wage this war, and my sources are screaming that even the Marines are not renewing all because this is NOT a war that is in the American interest, but is a religious war for Netanyahu.
The military strength of Iran is far superior and Trump may claim we have already won by taking out their Navy and bombing their above ground operations, but Iran has dozens of deep underground facilities that nothing should of a nuke would possible reach. Aside from that, I would be very concerned that Iran is now pushing for a nuclear weapon ASAP and they have the missile capability. Once they announce that they now have the nukes, this changes everything.
Israel is effectively out of defense. Trump is now taking resources from Ukraine and sending them to Israel, which will not change the outcome. Iran has strategically planned for the end game and has the largest stockpile of ballistic missiles perhaps in the world, but certainly in the region.
Now even Saudi Arabia is demanding the US wipe out Iran for now Epic Fury has risen the Epic Persian Lion. They have seriously underestimated Iran and Trump did not listen to American intelligence and took Netanyahu’s word instead.
I warned that the war cycle turned up in 2014 and that would begin in Ukraine. But I also warned that WWIII will NOT be a single front, but we are looking at wars around the globe. The computer is showing this is going to extend into 2028 and that it should have turn higher exponentially here in 2026.
The half-cycle turning point was here in 2026. At the last WEC I also warned that 2026 would be a Panic Cycle Year when it came to war, markets, and the economy. It pains me deeply to see how the Neocons have infiltrated the Trump Administration and that this insane arrogance will lead to the defeat of the United States for the stated goals of regime change, causing a revolution, destroying their ballistic missiles, and ending their nuclear program have all failed. At this point, if I were Iran, I would be working night and day to finish that nuke for that is the only way at this point to discredit Netanyahu. This was a stupid move sold to Trump that just killing the Ayatolla would bring down the government which was totally fictional. Now Trump risks the entire stability of the world as a whole all for Netanyahu. Instead of securing the future for Israel, Netanyahu may undermine its future as it can no longer defend agains Iranian missiles and Russia is now sending drones to Iran.
If you look at a long term chart of CO2 going back 10,000 years from data that came from ice core drillings todays levels are substantially lower. Overlay a shorter time on the longer term line and we see CO2 levels currently rising but in a longer term downward trend.
"The short answer is that there has been significant talk—both public and private—about the need for Netanyahu to be removed from power, and this discussion is coming not just from his domestic opponents but from surprising quarters, including elements within the American establishment, European governments, and even segments of the Israeli security apparatus."
Trump and his "negotiations" when Iran says there are none makes me believe he is going to come out soon announcing that the US has been negotiating with a team that are to replace Iran's existing officials. Regime change because that is the way these idiots in the Trump admin think.
When Allies Become Liabilities – Regime Change in Israel?

QUESTION: You were the first to say the US was going through Pakistan, and there was a 15-point plane. You also said no peace is possible. Iran just rejected Trump’s 15-point plan. You also commented that the markets were reflecting a protracted war. Do you see any hope whatsoever?
PD
ANSWER: Indeed, Iran said it rejected any US ceasefire proposal and maintained attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab states. They are in the driver’s seat, and they know it. Not just that they control the Strait of Hormuz, but aside from oil, 30% of the fertilizer goes through there, and as we move into planting season, Iran is also keenly aware that it can cause a food crisis.
Look, I know the Neocon thinking process. They CANNOT think beyond the end of their nose and ALWAYS think they will win in a matter of days or weeks, simply because they control the largest military force. SIZE does not matter! They NEVER look at the other side. Iran would have to be insane to accept the 15-point plan, dealing a significant blow to Trump’s efforts to end a war that Netanyahu began suckering in Trump.
Trump’s 15-point peace plan stipulates that the Islamic Republic dismantle its main nuclear facilities and use a reduced missile arsenal in self-defense only, according to reliable sources, and Trump would lift sanctions. Tehran realizes that it cannot agree to a ceasefire when Netanyahu has any authority whatsoever. Iran wants guarantees that the US and Israel won’t resume their attacks, alongside reparations for war damages and recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, Iran has REFUSED to even negotiate with Steve Witkoff or Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, both of whom are Jewish! For the life of me, why this dynamic duo would even dare to negotiate in the Middle is beyond me. This appears to be a very serious conflict of interest, regardless of whether it is true. Iran has insisted that it would deal only with J.D. Vance.
I believe Vice President J.D. Vance may travel to Pakistan for talks with Iran this weekend. Trump has said he hopes to reach an agreement by the end of the week. I would not hold my breath. Just as Netanyahu assassinated the Ayatollah and acted unilaterally, attacking their gas field, he does not care about the world economy, and CANNOT be trusted in any future peace deal. The only security Iran could possibly have is regime change in Israel, meaning Netanyahu is gone from the government.
When Allies Become Liabilities – Regime Change in Israel
What is perhaps more surprising and not yet in the press is that Netanyahu’s problems have intensified under the Trump administration, which was expected to provide unconditional support for his Iranian conquest. Recent sources report a deep frustration within Trump’s team regarding Netanyahu.
The question of Benjamin Netanyahu’s political survival and whether there is serious discussion about regime change in Israel represents one of the most sensitive and complex dynamics in current Middle Eastern geopolitics being discussed behind the curtain. The short answer is that there has been significant talk—both public and private—about the need for Netanyahu to be removed from power, and this discussion is coming not just from his domestic opponents but from surprising quarters, including elements within the American establishment, European governments, and even segments of the Israeli security apparatus.
But we must be precise about what we mean by “regime change.” This is not talk of military intervention or external overthrow. Rather, it is a discussion about using diplomatic pressure, conditioning aid and support, leveraging legal processes, and supporting domestic opposition to facilitate Netanyahu’s removal through ostensibly democratic means. The distinction matters, but the intention—removing a sitting leader perceived as an obstacle to broader policy objectives—is fundamentally the same.
Without Netanyahu’s removal, it is going to be extremely hard to convince Iran that Israel will not attack again or try to assassinate all of their leaders in another covert action.
Trump and Besent seem to rant now and then to move oil up and down as many now have been digging into the large crude trades especially those entered 15 min before the illegal US/Israeli attacks and murders. Iranian officials have slammed the Trump admin stating there are no on going talks taking place. Actually I believe it was Colonel Wilkerson who has stated his sources told him Whitkoff keeps texting the Iranian officials but no one replies back. One rumor is Whitkoff and Kushner are in Pakistan trying to get anyone to talk to them. Their whole negotiations with Iran and Russia were always a scam with Lavrov going public about a week before the start of the Iran war that Trump and his negotiating team have lied from day one. So Iran will not negotiate as everytime they do, the US murders the Iranian negotiators.
It makes one wonder if Trump is this dumb or is being told nonsense by his handlers letting him make comments they know are lies. Either way he is off the rails. Some countries are now preparing for energy lockdowns slowly rolling them out in phases. Telling citizens to drive less or how to take a shower or any other nonsense to implement more of a totalitarian control is the goal like covid.
The bottom line Trump and his administration along with Israel are guilty of murder, crimes against humanity and starting yet another illegal war. The hollowing out of the US is still taking place with the move to tokens issued by banks and not the FED to destroy the old dollar system as it is, this old abused used as a weapon dollar system can never be used to pay off the massive debt ever expanding and the goal or the "Great Reset" is that move. No cash, 100% of all taxes owed collected, programmable to be used as control on purchases, travel, forced to follow the narrative or be locked out of their digital prison. The old wall street private banking cartel are trying to stay relevant with tokens but the Silicone Valley tech billionaires also want that control.

Trump is using a fake Iranian gov to pump and dump. Larry Johnson said today he was told Kushner and Whitkoff have made around $200 billion since they started to negotiate with Ukraine and Iran all a front to get more money. The real estate guys acting a diplomats is a joke.
These people are simply committing treason by wanting illegals to replace the existing citizens giving them more rights and privileges especially committing crimes such as rape with no repercussions. This judge just slapped all of us citizens in the face and a big FY! Violence erupts with the system overloaded by the massive costs involved and chaos is the result. This is the Cloward-Piven agenda. Canada is murdering the low income, depressed or useless whites. Spain gives free medical like almost all western countries do but forces the existing population to pay which is an intentional slap in the face just as this judge tossed the lawsuit out. Jailed in the UK and other western countries for objecting. All wanting the existing population to be repopulated with a completely different culture as we have been depopulated for decades by chemicals in the food supply, spraying the atmosphere, GMO food filling but no value whatsoever in keeping us healthy as they build our digital prisons using AI as cover using the massive database centers to actually store all our personal information then used in controlling us. Bondi is there to make sure no charges are filed but to continue this operation of total control of repopulation and depopulation.
Cloward and Piven strategy! These were two communist professors who devised a plan to take down the capitalist structure of the United States through mass illegal migration that overwhelms U.S. social safety net programs and local governments. It is an intentional plan to collapse the U.S. and bring in a new (global) regime that will issue ‘guaranteed basic income’ to all.
REPLY:
The four steps of the Cloward-Piven Strategy:
1. Overload and Break the Welfare System
2. Have Chaos Ensue
3. Take Control in the Chaos
4. Implement Socialism and Communism through Government Force
Overburden the bureaucracy to break the system, create controlled chaos, usurp power as civil unrest peaks, and offer government aid as the only solution. Cloward and Piven wanted to overburden the welfare system at the state level to eliminate state rights. ...under this theory, government is encouraged to market a crisis, antagonize the people, and offer a solution. The only solution being to replace capitalism with socialism or communism by which the people would be entirely dependent on government. You will own nothing and be happy.
“The demise of America has to come from within,” Bukele told Tucker Carlson. “The enemies have to be inside. No external enemy can cause so much damage as internal. It is an internal operation.

He went on to say that he admits he is from a third-world country but would feel unsafe in any US city due to violent crime.
Now Bukele was harshly criticized for rounding up the criminals but it worked. Crime is on the rise in America but our policies are continually favoring the criminals. “When you look how the cities are eroding so fast, this has to be by design. I mean who would make so many stupid decisions?” Bukele asked Carlson. “They’re literally giving some people drugs in some us cities, or they say we’re going to give you money if you don’t work. They make all these laws that make no sense. If they have high crime, they say okay I have a solution, let’s defund the police.”
I continually point to the Cloward-Piven Strategy of creating civil unrest. Look at what the Open Society Foundation promoted during the last election. They funded protests in all major US cities, violent protests where people were murdered and small business were burned to the ground. They funded the media to report on how the criminals were misunderstood and the police needed to be defunded. Some ask whether people have simply lost their minds after COVID. Perhaps, but the real reason the US is spiraling down internally is INTENTIONAL. Burn it down to BUILD BACK BETTER. Martin A.
So utterly ridiculous as they have no clue how many Iran has in the first place. Reminds me of Ursula who kept ranting the Russia's are using chips from washers and other appliances and are out of missiles and using shovels, 325 times. It is the US and Israel that are running out which is why they are trying to get as many from allies as they can. Israel has no defense left to speak of. Trump will go down in history as the guy who destroyed the world economy attacking whoever they feel like attacking that day and broke the ability of the US government to keep funding itself.
China is State Capitalism verses the US with corrupt capitalism that only benefit a few. Living standards have been going down since the 60s as the country is being hollowed out by these same corrupt capitalists but in reality are totalitarian and marxist which is what the one world government is all about with the wall street private banking cartel running the show.
You screwed with their trade and now its payback. It is showing those in the Trump admin are clueless as they thought they could get away with all this crap with no consequences. Who in their right mind would invest in the US or build a factory here when the government cannot be trusted and the consumer economy is tanking. Congress leaving on a two week vacation says it all when most Americans are struggling. Where is our $2000 promised, the closing of the IRS, audits of gold, the Pentagon with a true audit, the FED, no more regime changes, no more wars, prosecutions of Fauci and gang, Epstein gang eating children, etc, etc, etc. Bondi and Patel were placed in office to stop prosecutions.
Trump is either being told Iran is negotiating or the neocons are doing it with a shadow group if regime change succeeds. One thing is sure Iran, China, and Russia can outlast the US and Israel with Europe entering a deep depression. Nine months from now food will be unaffordable for many as over 50% of Americans were struggling before this disaster by Trump and his neocons. I watched a live vid the other day with the guy asking viewers to comment on gas and diesel prices in our area. One city in the US has diesel at slightly over $7 gal. The majority had diesel at over $5 gal. Powell appears to be moving in the same disastrous agenda as Volcker during the so called Arab oil embargo. Rate increases do not effect Cost Push inflation only Demand Driven inflation caused by spending.
Trump Ready To Take US Arms For Ukraine & Divert Them To Middle East
How are those US weapons along with the Germans, French and British working out so far in Ukraine? What has been exposed is that US defense missiles are almost worthless. The Pentagon like NASA and many other agencies are nothing more but money laundering machines charging for overpriced crap while a few become very, very wealthy. I saw a military expert commenting on the downing of the F-18 and he described the missile taking it down was from a Manpad which can be bought on the blackmarket for a few thousand for older models.
Trump and his ego got us into this war with his handlers either lying to him or he has truly lost his mind. No common sense nor knowledge of the history of those countries being bombed. He still rants that Iran was making a nuke and I have been hearing this since a few years after the 1979 coup removing the US puppet. I think what Trump and these neocons have done is not only destroy the world economy especially the US but will push Iran to make a nuke for self defense like North Korea. I trust Iran more with nukes that the US or Israel and God help us all if Zelensky gets one. Rates are rising with everything collapsing. The US is losing this war with parts of Tel Aviv looking like Gaza and Lebanon as both Israel and US bomb residential areas, businesses, hospitals, schools, etc. exactly like in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria using US backed terror groups.

World Affairs In Context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5bXdVLZ2aY
Does Iran have nukes now? It appears they do.
Mohammad Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament and military leader, warned that the war has entered “a new phase”:
There is little doubt, according to military commentator Will Schryver, that U.S. magazine depth (the U.S.’ storage sites) is approaching exhaustion and sortie generation has collapsed due to maintenance backlog and logistical sustainment incapacity. U.S. manned aircraft still do not penetrate deeply into Iranian airspace. Iran however, claims that their own magazine depth is plentiful.
Trump in the last days has upped the ante – giving Iran an ultimatum: ‘Open Hormuz within 48 hours or your civilian power plants will be progressively destroyed – starting with the biggest first’. (Iran’s biggest plant happens to be the joint Iranian-Russian operated Bushehr plant). It seems that Trump still looks to a quick Iranian capitulation. However, Iran has already rejected the ultimatum and has responded with one of its own.
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei’s ultimatum to Trump
In a tightly structured 12-minute address, Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei moved from familiar rhetoric into something far more consequential. The opening half of his address followed the expected script, but as reported by Lebanese commentator Marwa Osman:
The timing of external reactions was just as telling. Within hours, both Beijing and Moscow issued statements aligning in a carefully worded, yet unmistakable way, with the new Supreme Leader’s framing, suggesting coordination.
The war is entering a new phase. Trump has an eye on how the war is and will ‘play’ at home in the run-up to the November mid-term elections. U.S. minds on how, or whether, to vote tend to be made by September/October. His team is searching wildly to find the exit from the war that, by the summer, might project a plausible ‘win’ for Trump – if such a thing is even possible.

The US and Israel continue to bomb citizens including schools, hospitals, businesses as Trump, Rubio, Hegseth, Bessent, Kushner, etc are all psychopaths continuing genocide exactly what is also taking place in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. How convenient Congress goes on a recess while the innocent continue to be murdered. As the professor states, "We have the best Congress that money can buy!" They are showing us all how empires die but they will take us down with them as the economy is tanking.
Why not just slap on his picture as the printing presses roar and the purchasing power of the dollar falls more every single month.
Born in the 50s and brainwashed and conditioned really from birth as most parents were also the same way, to fear the USSR, Mao's Communist China and those in the Middle East. Today it is the US and western world who are evil and have been since after WWII. We have corrupt capitalism with no single payer healthcare but everything is for profit. The whole west is being hollowed out with living standards collapsing and the fall of the once great consumer society is being stretched to its limits and breaking point. Hungary, Russia, China and Iran are the only sane voices in a world gone mad with the whole west having the most incompetent people history has known. Many times I wondered how could a country allow evil people to rule over them like Hitler and the people there allow regimes changes, wars, genocide, killing children intentionally. I looked in the mirror and realized the Americans are in that same boat. We are intentionally being beaten down psychologically and economically. As Klause Schwab warned a few years back, prepare for "shocks" but there is no where to run.
Vance is simply another neocon pretending he is not. His chances of running for prez and getting elected are now zero. Colonel Wilkerson said that his sources have told him that the Marines are losing 1/3 thrd of their soldiers per year as they are no longer wanting to stay because of all these wars. He also goes over what Trump says about the war is not reality and someone is briefing him with out right lies. Planes are not flying over Iran with impunity as they shoot their missiles way before getting to Iranians airspace which another jet was shot down just in the last 48 hours. The US and Israel are bombing residential neighborhoods, businesses, hospitals, schools, clinics, etc. besides infrastructure like power plants, desalination facilities all against international law and crimes against humanity just as they have done in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Belgrade, eastern Ukraine now Russia, Somalia, Nigeria, etc, etc, etc,. Look for Iran soon to announce they have a nuke and Trump will go down in history as the guy who had US forces driven out of the ME, Gulf states pulling capital and redirecting to Hong Kong, China offering Taiwan a lifeline so their economy will not shut down which is another nail in the US agenda of more wars.
COL. Lawrence Wilkerson : Why Trump Is Wedded to Israel
Judge Napolitano - Judging Freedom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq32fmNwp9A&t=1053s
Back in 1990 in the Jerusalem Post Netanyahu stated: “If we get caught they will replace us with persons of the same cloth. So it doesn't matter what we do, America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry., chop it up, sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world's biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because its God's will and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again, again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly"
Another Steele dossier as the EU scumbags try everything to discredit Hungary. Iran has let Spain send ships thru the straits without any fees because they opposed the US war against Iran publicly. Trump has now caused worldwide disruptions in world trade not once but twice now, tariffs and now war. The world is truly seeing how dumb this whole administration really is and it didn't help sending two real estate people to act as diplomats with no experience at all. Kushner is the main agitator as Russia and Iran has said Whitkoff alone was negotiable but when Kushner is there, sparks fly. Next year widespread hunger will spread as farmers run out, can't replace or prices too high for fertilizer as Russia is ramping up everything not for the west but their markets are Asia.
Iran Waives Fees for Spanish Ships Passing Through Strait
Posted Mar 27, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
Spread the love
Spain has now emerged in an unexpected position in the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Reports indicate that Iranian authorities are allowing Spanish-linked vessels to pass without the heavy tolls or restrictions imposed on others. Spain is not the largest maritime power moving through Hormuz. However, it is deeply integrated into European shipping networks, ports, and energy supply chains. That means any preferential treatment can ripple across Europe and influence how trade is routed.
What is unfolding is not just control of a chokepoint. It is selective control. Iran has made clear that only “non-hostile” vessels may pass freely. Others face restrictions or high fees. This transforms the strait from a neutral international waterway into a politically managed corridor. Once access depends on alignment rather than law, globalization begins to fracture.
The scale of the disruption is significant. Under normal conditions, about 130 to 140 ships pass through the strait daily. These vessels carry roughly 20 million barrels of oil, close to one-fifth of global supply. Recent reports suggest traffic has dropped sharply. Some estimates show only a handful of ships moving per day, with total monthly crossings far below normal levels. This is no longer a stable trade route. It is operating under wartime conditions.
If Spanish-linked ships move more freely, they gain a cost advantage. Markets will respond quickly to that distortion. Other European actors may try to route cargo through Spain. They may use Spanish partnerships, flags, or intermediaries to bypass higher costs. This is how arbitrage works. It does not wait for political approval.
Iran’s decision centers around Spain’s refusal to support the US and Israel in this war. Not only has Spain refused to offer support, it has openly condemned actions taken against Iran. Now those who supported sanctions and military aid tied to Ukraine and will see this as a betrayal. They accepted economic costs for a unified policy. Now they face higher shipping costs while another member gains relief. That undermines the idea of a coordinated European response. This is how alliances begin to weaken. You cannot maintain unity when access to critical trade routes is uneven. Some countries gain advantages, others absorb losses. Over time, that creates internal competition rather than cooperation.
From a capital flow perspective, the outcome is predictable. Capital moves toward efficiency. If Spain offers a cheaper path through a restricted chokepoint, flows will shift in that direction. That concentrates activity and amplifies divisions across Europe. The deeper issue is structural. The Strait of Hormuz is no longer functioning as an open route but as a controlled gateway.
Trade is now being filtered through alliances rather than markets. That shift has already begun.
An interesting thing about those computer forecasts is what Colonel Larry Wilkerson said over a month ago. His former boss was in charge of war simulations and ran them against China and Russia and of course the US lost as it cannot defeat a country who has the sphere of influence in a region. What shocked the DC crowd with panic was against Iran and the US losing with massive casualties so they were ask to run it again. Iran still won and this was over two decades ago when Iran had not acquired drones, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, over the horizon radar, etc. Supposedly Russia has sent S-400 defense systems with China sending interceptor missiles which is also supposedly what are being used to target and shoot down US jets. If they send in their S-500 or S-550 systems, the later can shoot down satellites making the US go dark over the Middle East then forced to use planes with radar flying 24 to 7 and targets.
The censorship for this war both in Israel and the US is off the charts. German media as Al Jazeera are reporting respectively 600 US soldiers killed and with the latter 560 flown into Germany to the large US military hospitals there as well as the wounded. Alexander Mercouris reported yesterday that Hong Kong averages $2 to $3 billion a month in capital from Gulf states for investment with the bulk going to the US and Europe. They are now seeing flows of $40 billion a month as capital is being redirected to the east. This is how empires fall a little at a time. Taiwan is out of everything in about 8 days and will be forced to shut down everything especially chip making. Guess who sends them a lifeline from total collapse? China. Trump has totally underestimated this war on Iran and China will take back their territory recognized already by agreement without firing a single shot. When a nation faces total collapse and no energy, raw materials, food, etc., and their main "protector" cannot help and is laid bare to the world, they make deals and that is coming from China, not US.
The Cycles Warn The US Cannot Defeat Iran
Posted Mar 26, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
Spread the love
QUESTION: Do you think Trump will send in troops and what will be the result?Will Iran defeat the United States?
ZT
ANSWER: You’re asking the question that NOBODY in Washington wants to confront. Will the United States be defeated by Iran?
Based on my cyclical analysis, historical precedent, and current trajectory, let me give you the answer that will make the neocons furious:
YES. The United States will be defeated in Iran—not necessarily not just on the battlefield, but STRATEGICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, and POLITICALLY.
Sending in troops that end up with thousands in returning home in body-bags will show the entire world that Iran can defeat the mighty USA. That will send a smoke signal to Russia and China that the US cannot possible defend both Europe and Taiwan while also tied up defending Netanyahu.
Sending in troops will be a suicide mission. This is not going to be D-Day. We do not have the troops to conquer Iran, and Netanyahu does not care how many Americans will die for his personal vendetta. Iran has a major army, and this is NOT going to be a cakewalk. The advice being given to Trump is such a bald-faced lie that it is putting the entire world at risk, all for the defense of the sadistic character of Netanyahu. Sending in troops will be a suicide mission. We do NOT have the personnel to wage this war, and my sources are screaming that even the Marines are not renewing all because this is NOT a war that is in the American interest, but is a religious war for Netanyahu.
The military strength of Iran is far superior and Trump may claim we have already won by taking out their Navy and bombing their above ground operations, but Iran has dozens of deep underground facilities that nothing should of a nuke would possible reach. Aside from that, I would be very concerned that Iran is now pushing for a nuclear weapon ASAP and they have the missile capability. Once they announce that they now have the nukes, this changes everything.
Israel is effectively out of defense. Trump is now taking resources from Ukraine and sending them to Israel, which will not change the outcome. Iran has strategically planned for the end game and has the largest stockpile of ballistic missiles perhaps in the world, but certainly in the region.
Now even Saudi Arabia is demanding the US wipe out Iran for now Epic Fury has risen the Epic Persian Lion. They have seriously underestimated Iran and Trump did not listen to American intelligence and took Netanyahu’s word instead.
I warned that the war cycle turned up in 2014 and that would begin in Ukraine. But I also warned that WWIII will NOT be a single front, but we are looking at wars around the globe. The computer is showing this is going to extend into 2028 and that it should have turn higher exponentially here in 2026.
The half-cycle turning point was here in 2026. At the last WEC I also warned that 2026 would be a Panic Cycle Year when it came to war, markets, and the economy. It pains me deeply to see how the Neocons have infiltrated the Trump Administration and that this insane arrogance will lead to the defeat of the United States for the stated goals of regime change, causing a revolution, destroying their ballistic missiles, and ending their nuclear program have all failed. At this point, if I were Iran, I would be working night and day to finish that nuke for that is the only way at this point to discredit Netanyahu. This was a stupid move sold to Trump that just killing the Ayatolla would bring down the government which was totally fictional. Now Trump risks the entire stability of the world as a whole all for Netanyahu. Instead of securing the future for Israel, Netanyahu may undermine its future as it can no longer defend agains Iranian missiles and Russia is now sending drones to Iran.
If you look at a long term chart of CO2 going back 10,000 years from data that came from ice core drillings todays levels are substantially lower. Overlay a shorter time on the longer term line and we see CO2 levels currently rising but in a longer term downward trend.
"The short answer is that there has been significant talk—both public and private—about the need for Netanyahu to be removed from power, and this discussion is coming not just from his domestic opponents but from surprising quarters, including elements within the American establishment, European governments, and even segments of the Israeli security apparatus."
Trump and his "negotiations" when Iran says there are none makes me believe he is going to come out soon announcing that the US has been negotiating with a team that are to replace Iran's existing officials. Regime change because that is the way these idiots in the Trump admin think.
When Allies Become Liabilities – Regime Change in Israel?

QUESTION: You were the first to say the US was going through Pakistan, and there was a 15-point plane. You also said no peace is possible. Iran just rejected Trump’s 15-point plan. You also commented that the markets were reflecting a protracted war. Do you see any hope whatsoever?
PD
ANSWER: Indeed, Iran said it rejected any US ceasefire proposal and maintained attacks on Israel and Gulf Arab states. They are in the driver’s seat, and they know it. Not just that they control the Strait of Hormuz, but aside from oil, 30% of the fertilizer goes through there, and as we move into planting season, Iran is also keenly aware that it can cause a food crisis.
Look, I know the Neocon thinking process. They CANNOT think beyond the end of their nose and ALWAYS think they will win in a matter of days or weeks, simply because they control the largest military force. SIZE does not matter! They NEVER look at the other side. Iran would have to be insane to accept the 15-point plan, dealing a significant blow to Trump’s efforts to end a war that Netanyahu began suckering in Trump.
Trump’s 15-point peace plan stipulates that the Islamic Republic dismantle its main nuclear facilities and use a reduced missile arsenal in self-defense only, according to reliable sources, and Trump would lift sanctions. Tehran realizes that it cannot agree to a ceasefire when Netanyahu has any authority whatsoever. Iran wants guarantees that the US and Israel won’t resume their attacks, alongside reparations for war damages and recognition of its authority over the Strait of Hormuz.
In addition, Iran has REFUSED to even negotiate with Steve Witkoff or Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, both of whom are Jewish! For the life of me, why this dynamic duo would even dare to negotiate in the Middle is beyond me. This appears to be a very serious conflict of interest, regardless of whether it is true. Iran has insisted that it would deal only with J.D. Vance.
I believe Vice President J.D. Vance may travel to Pakistan for talks with Iran this weekend. Trump has said he hopes to reach an agreement by the end of the week. I would not hold my breath. Just as Netanyahu assassinated the Ayatollah and acted unilaterally, attacking their gas field, he does not care about the world economy, and CANNOT be trusted in any future peace deal. The only security Iran could possibly have is regime change in Israel, meaning Netanyahu is gone from the government.
When Allies Become Liabilities – Regime Change in Israel
What is perhaps more surprising and not yet in the press is that Netanyahu’s problems have intensified under the Trump administration, which was expected to provide unconditional support for his Iranian conquest. Recent sources report a deep frustration within Trump’s team regarding Netanyahu.
The question of Benjamin Netanyahu’s political survival and whether there is serious discussion about regime change in Israel represents one of the most sensitive and complex dynamics in current Middle Eastern geopolitics being discussed behind the curtain. The short answer is that there has been significant talk—both public and private—about the need for Netanyahu to be removed from power, and this discussion is coming not just from his domestic opponents but from surprising quarters, including elements within the American establishment, European governments, and even segments of the Israeli security apparatus.
But we must be precise about what we mean by “regime change.” This is not talk of military intervention or external overthrow. Rather, it is a discussion about using diplomatic pressure, conditioning aid and support, leveraging legal processes, and supporting domestic opposition to facilitate Netanyahu’s removal through ostensibly democratic means. The distinction matters, but the intention—removing a sitting leader perceived as an obstacle to broader policy objectives—is fundamentally the same.
Without Netanyahu’s removal, it is going to be extremely hard to convince Iran that Israel will not attack again or try to assassinate all of their leaders in another covert action.

15 min cities, no private car use, limited travel only for a good reason destroying vacation, work from home
Trump and Besent seem to rant now and then to move oil up and down as many now have been digging into the large crude trades especially those entered 15 min before the illegal US/Israeli attacks and murders. Iranian officials have slammed the Trump admin stating there are no on going talks taking place. Actually I believe it was Colonel Wilkerson who has stated his sources told him Whitkoff keeps texting the Iranian officials but no one replies back. One rumor is Whitkoff and Kushner are in Pakistan trying to get anyone to talk to them. Their whole negotiations with Iran and Russia were always a scam with Lavrov going public about a week before the start of the Iran war that Trump and his negotiating team have lied from day one. So Iran will not negotiate as everytime they do, the US murders the Iranian negotiators.
It makes one wonder if Trump is this dumb or is being told nonsense by his handlers letting him make comments they know are lies. Either way he is off the rails. Some countries are now preparing for energy lockdowns slowly rolling them out in phases. Telling citizens to drive less or how to take a shower or any other nonsense to implement more of a totalitarian control is the goal like covid.
The bottom line Trump and his administration along with Israel are guilty of murder, crimes against humanity and starting yet another illegal war. The hollowing out of the US is still taking place with the move to tokens issued by banks and not the FED to destroy the old dollar system as it is, this old abused used as a weapon dollar system can never be used to pay off the massive debt ever expanding and the goal or the "Great Reset" is that move. No cash, 100% of all taxes owed collected, programmable to be used as control on purchases, travel, forced to follow the narrative or be locked out of their digital prison. The old wall street private banking cartel are trying to stay relevant with tokens but the Silicone Valley tech billionaires also want that control.
