This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- For today’s prep segment, I have an update regarding Project NOMAD. Several of you have confirmed that Linux on Android is a nightmare, so I took a closer look at Project NOMAD, and looked into the data sources that it uses and researched if I could access those sources using Android apps, and for the most part I could. I also researched some prepper sites and they recommended additional apps, so here is the list I came up with. You don’t need to worry about Project NOMAD and Linux, and most of these apps can be used offline if the internet goes down.

o KIWIX – This is the big one. It is an offline library app with an exhaustive list of books and documents you can download for later use. Here are some of the resources I downloaded.
 CD3WD Project – technical manuals for 3rd world developing countries to aid in sustainable development. Perfect for rebuilding society if needed. What’s good for shithole countries is even better for the post apocalypse.
 Medical Library – emergency medicine library
 Military Medicine – military medical manuals
 Project Gutenberg Library: Medicine – scanned digitized medical books
 USDA Guide to Home Canning
 WikEM – wiki for emergency medicine
 Wikipedia – an offline copy of Wikipedia

o OsmAnd – Offline maps with GPS functionality (if active)

o Seek by iNaturalist – Allows you to identify plants with your phone’s camera. Requires internet unfortunately.

o First Aid: American Red Cross

o Pet First Aid: American Red Cross

o Police Scanner 5.0: Allows you to listen in on the police scanner of your area

o Army Knots

o Llamao – This is another big one. The reason Project NOMAD required Linux is because Olama requires Linux. Llamao only has one free model, but you can unlock the others for $5, and frankly, having someone make these open source models compatible with Android so I don’t have to use Linux is worth $5. You get Llama 3.2 for free. There is even a version of Llama 3.2 with all the guardrails removed so it’s totally uncensored. You can even use Deepseek. These models all run locally on your phone privately and offline.

o Google Translate – You can use Google Translate offline, but you have to download the language packs ahead of time. This app is useful for obvious reasons.

o Bitchat/MeshCore/Meshtastic – I’ll talk more about these later, but all you need to know right now is that these allow you to text using your phone even if the cell network goes down with other people nearby who are on the same network (or mesh). Bitchat doesn’t require any additional hardware, but is short range (Wifi). MeshCore and Meshtastic have long range, and I’ll talk more about them another time. I’m just mentioning them here now because you’ll want these apps on your device.

o Kolibri – This was included in Project NOMAD as a learning resource. You can download educational material here, but it all has to be downloaded individually, so unless you have small kids and are planning to homeschool, this isn’t really worth it, but better than nothing. You’re better off just buying hardcopy versions of homeschool materials if you have kids, but I’m including the app here on this list because it was part of Project NOMAD.

o iHunt 750 – This app allows you to make animal sounds with your phone to assist with hunting, and has other useful tools for hunters to use.

o Finally there are two premium apps that cost $5, and are worth considering:
 SAS Survival Guide
 Smart Tools

- You can find all these apps just by searching for them, so I’m not providing any links. If you download these apps, you have all the functionality of Project NOMAD and then some without having to deal with LINUX at all. Hooray!

- Let’s return to today’s analysis

- There isn’t much to talk about that I didn’t already cover on the show. The ground invasion is happening this weekend, and everyone knows it, including Iran.

- With Iraq and Qatar siding with Iran, the Regime has recruited some Africans to be their disposable distraction fodder instead. Djibouti and Uganda has joined the fight for Israel. Die well, retards.

- We’ll see what happens this weekend. It’s going to be a disaster.

- The markets are just ignoring Trump’s constant lies about negotiations and just going along with it. The markets are rigged, what do you want me to say? It’s not going to matter once the ground invasion fails. A lot of Jews are expecting the war to be over in two weeks because its almost Passover, and they’re God’s chosen people, right? Surely they wouldn’t get their fucking asses kicked before Passover, would they?

- It’s not worth posting any market news, it’s all fake and gay.

- The bottom line is that this is it. It’s the countdown to the big final battle. Will the US take the Strait of Hormuz with a combination of marines, special forces, and airborne paratroopers alongside Arab and African mercenaries? Or will Iran blot out the sun with their drones and blow them all to hell? We’ll find out together this weekend. The markets will do whatever the government wants for the foreseeable future. We don’t have a market anymore, just a rigged casino.

Learn how to manage your own money or seek out a professional who can give you personalized financial services. This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- I was busy all day trying to successfully put Linux on an old Samsung smartphone so I can have Project NOMAD on a phone, but it’s a nightmare. I hate Linux so much. The irony is that Android is based on Linux, so you’d think it would be easy, but you would be wrong. Once I figure it out, I’ll post a guide because I think having Project NOMAD on a phone is really important. I get why they need to have it on Linux. When shit goes down, you can only rely on open-source software, but it’s a pain in the ass. I’ll figure it out, though. If any of you have successfully put Linux on a phone or gotten Project NOMAD working, let me know.

- Let’s return to our normal analysis:

- What a crazy 24 hours. Apparently, the attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure was fake news (I do my best to find reliable sources, but nobody is perfect). In the morning, Trump announced that Iran is making a deal and that the Regime isn’t going to attack Iran’s energy, and they’ll give them 5 more days to work out the details of the deal. MAGA went nuts, the stock market rallied, oil futures crashed, and gold and silver crashed. Even Iran saying that it was bullshit repeatedly couldn’t darken people’s mood. I saw MAGAtards accusing Iran of lying about Trump lying and that they definitely made a deal because Trump 4D chess or some shit. Well, as soon as the markets closed, the Regime attacked Iran’s energy (it’s confirmed this time). Iran has already begun their counterattack. The UAE has no energy, and Iran is going to make the Middle East uninhabitable.

- So what the hell was all of this about? Why make up talks to pump up the markets for a single day? Well, it appears that it was just a ploy to make some money by manipulating stocks. They didn’t save the markets; they only bought themselves a single day, but insiders were able to buy right before the announcement and profit before the lie became obvious. I originally thought that Trump was trying to buy time for the ground invasion (which isn’t ready yet), but no, he was just trying to make some money through market manipulation and insider trading.
source: https://x.com/PeterLBrandt/status/2036219305000575417

- Anyway, let’s watch the fireworks together.

- I’m not even going to post the market movement today. It was all blatant market manipulation by Trump, knowingly lying about peace talks that he made up to manipulate the market for less than a day. I knew the casino was rigged, but goddamn, this is just criminal behavior.

- We’re going to see some serious shit this week. Anything could happen. The gloves are off, and Israel is doomed. I hope Demona gets destroyed quickly before they can launch the Samson Option, then we can do the YubYub dance.
source: https://x.com/IslanderWORLD/status/2036175700365889861

- The bottom line is that there’s too much going on to go over. Lots of unconfirmed reports that I’m not going to repot on until I know more and get confirmation that they aren’t bullshit. It’s going down, though, and the Regime is finished. Prepare for some serious shit. The economy and the markets will tank soon, especially as Iran reveals their hand and the Regime realizes how fucked they are.

This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- In today’s prep segment, I have a huge update. There is a free project on GitHub called Project NOMAD, which is an all-in-one offline knowledge repository. It contains an information library, educational materials, maps, and a built-in AI to help with navigation, and it’s free. https://www.projectnomad.us/ The only catch is that it requires Linux, so if you want it for Android, you’ll need to install a Linux program and fiddle with it to make it work. I think that having an Android platform is important for power use purposes. A desktop is a power hog, but a smartphone isn’t. A smartphone is also much more mobile and can be taken with you and be handy when you need it most. However, while you’re fiddling with trying to get Linux working on your smartphone, get project NOMAD for your desktop right now and start familiarizing yourself with its features. It’s free, and it’s priceless. The biggest no-brainer I’ve ever mentioned in this newsletter.

- Back to “the happening” already in progress

- Trump didn’t wait the 48 hours and bombed Iran’s power grid less than an hour ago at the time of this writing. Iran published a list of everything they’ll hit if the US/Israel attack them, and they’ll make good on their promise shortly. The Middle East will soon become uninhabitable, especially for Israel and for the Arab countries that serve it. The ground invasion may be cancelled because it isn’t going to matter any longer. I guess Israel couldn’t tank another week of Iranian missile strikes to give the ground invasion time. Oh well, let’s get this over with.

- The markets are going to puke, obviously. Oil is going to go to $200 once the laws of economics assert themselves. Oil is currently sitting at a mere $112.
source: https://x.com/CryptoNobler/status/2035826861343728035

- There’s no point speculating and talking about what happened on Friday or even today. This move by the Regime means the end of the Middle East. Now the only question is whether the Regime uses nukes on Iran once they retaliate. They have no other cards to play now. We’ve reached the end of the “escalation ladder”. We know what Iran will do, which is make good on their promise of retaliation, and then we will see if Trump actually nukes Iran. Do you want to know the best part of this, though? Iran’s mountain missile cities have been hit by dozens of bunker busters, and they keep shooting missiles. Even nukes can’t destroy a mountain, so even nuking Iran may not be enough. Sure, they can kill the civilian population, but they may not even be able to stop the missile attacks, and then what?

- The bottom line is that it’s happening this week. Nothing left to do but watch the fireworks. Depending on how this week shakes out, we could end up doing any number of things, so stay tuned and I’ll keep you updated as things develop.

This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- In today’s prep segment, get a ferro rod to help with firestarting without any fuel. It makes sparks without electricity or fuel. You just need some kindling, and you can make fire. It makes a good backup firestarter solution. The one I’m linking to only costs $10. You can get cheaper ones, but they’re unreliable. Don’t overpay, but don’t necessarily buy the cheapest option either.

- Gold and silver are crashing. Some people are blaming the Arab Gulf states for selling their gold due to the Iran war to free up cash, but it's actually much more retarded than that. Normies believe the FED is going to jack rates up to 20% because that’s what they did in 1979 to fight stagflation. Long story short, during the stagflation of the 70s, oil and gold skyrocketed, and the FED raised rates to 20% in order to tame inflation, which ended the stagflation after a massive crash. Everyone is running to cash, expecting the FED to crash the market to fight inflation because that’s what they did in the 1970s. This is the ultimate chart-gazing move because it completely ignores the debt, the fact that the Regime can’t allow the market to crash or they lose their empire, etc. Their thought process simply involves looking for patterns and expecting them to repeat, and they’re using 1979 as confirmation that the FED is going to jack rates up, hence the crash in gold/silver and the dash to cash.

- The government is also up to its old tricks and trying to suppress oil prices. Iran said it will stop attacking Arab energy infrastructure, but warned that if “Israel” attacks their energy again, they will wipe everything out. They’ve also warned that Israel is planning to false-flag Arab countries’ infrastructure and blame Iran, so this isn’t over, but the markets seem satisfied, and energy fell, and this has nothing to do with options expiring soon.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/oil-slides-us-supply-prospects-short-end-yields-rise-g10-central-banks-hold-firm-newsquawk

- I’m still watching silver and hoping to buy more. If the normies are so convinced that rates are going to 20%, good, I haven’t been able to take advantage of a free money truck in a while.

- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. Energy
o 2. Bonds
o 3. Information Technology
o 4. Agriculture Commodities
o 5. Financials
o Everything else was down.

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. Gold
o 2. WTI Crude Oil
o 3. Brent Crude Oil
o 4. Materials
o 5. Broad Commodities
o 6. Bitcoin
o 7. The US Dollar

- The FED jacking rates and intentionally crashing the market is absurd. This isn’t the 70s. The national debt in 1979 was less than $850B. Today it’s nearly $40T. About $8T in debt must be rolled over this year, or 20% of the entire national debt. Do these retards actually believe we’re going to jack up rates to 20% to fight inflation when the government is this broke?

- I talked about markets first instead of geopolitics because nothing really happened today. The Regime is back to ignoring reality and declaring that they won. Netanyahu (who isn’t AI) has declared that Iran’s nuclear program and missile production have been destroyed.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-threatens-blow-worlds-largest-gas-field-distances-us-israeli-actions-macron

- The US is also bypassing Congress to conduct emergency sales of weapons to the Arabs, presumably to go to war with Iran for them, but what weapons? Do these weapons exist, or are they promising to give them weapons down the road? Between Ukraine and Israel, everything is gone. The only thing I think they can do is sell their active inventory to the Arabs so that they can fight their wars for them, thus disarming themselves.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-fast-tracks-billions-emergency-arms-sales-gulf-bypassing-congress

- The missiles are still flying, but no new developments other than the Iranians shot down an F35, which is a first. The US is apparently out of stand-off missiles and tried using the F35 to bomb Iran, and it turns out the air defenses are still intact, contrary to what you’ve been told. Who knew? We’re still waiting for the ground invasion by the Marines, which is estimated to take place on the 25th at the earliest. The outcome of that ground invasion will determine the next move by the Regime. The Iranians claim that they are fully prepared and waiting for them, so we’ll see what surprises they have in store.
source: https://www.twz.com/air/usaf-f-35-makes-emergency-landing-after-allegedly-being-hit-by-iranian-fire

- The bottom line is that we’re in a lull at the moment. The big push will be when the ground invasion happens, which will be next week at the earliest. The Regime is doing its best to make the Arabs do the fighting for them, which is ironic since they’re tired of fighting, which is why they surrendered and allowed the Regime to rule over them, and now the Regime is making them fight anyway. Do you see now why freedom is worth dying for? Surrendering to avoid war just means you fight a different war as their conquered slave.

- In today’s prep segment, consider communications equipment if you’re in a group. If the grid goes down, you’ll lose cell service. Meshtastic is ideal for a large group, but if you’re only worried about your family, some mid-level walkie-talkies with earpieces are sufficient. Why earpieces? So you can be quiet. Without earpieces, you have to have your volume turned up to hear incoming transmissions, and you’ll be easy to track. If you’re using an earpiece, you can communicate without announcing your position, but you can always remove the earpiece if you want. The ones I’m linking to are $10 each. These are not expensive at all, and you can get ones based on toys and cartoons if you have small children in your group. These will allow you to communicate over short to medium distances, but they’ll need to be recharged using a generator if the grid is down. https://www.amazon.com/pxton-Rechargeable-400-470Mhz-Transceiver-Flashlight/dp/B08HK5SXH1

- Let’s return to our regular analysis:

- As explained on the show today, Iran’s gas fields were attacked by Israel, and Iran attacked all the gas fields in the Gulf. The US told Israel not to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure again, hoping to de-escalate since their land invasion won’t be prepared until the 25th. Saudi Arabia threatened to go to war with Iran, and the Houthis entered the chat and said that they have their finger on the trigger and are waiting for orders. It’s worth noting that because the Strait of Hormuz is closed, all traffic has been redirected to the Red Sea, right where the Houthis are set up. My strong prediction is that the Arabs back off and STFU. If they try to attack Iran, they would be decimated. Their militaries are based on the US, made up of hand-me-down aircraft and reliant on airfields and nonexistent air defenses. It would be easy for Iran to cripple Saudi Arabia militarily in a single day by destroying its airfields, and then the Houthis can cripple Saudi Arabia economically and militarily from the South. The Iranians were keeping the Houthis back to keep the Arabs from being forced to join the Regime’s slave army, and probably saved their honor in the process. Hopefully, they’ll use this opportunity to think about their position. We had that Iraqi guy on the show talking about how the Arabs are tired of fighting, but when you surrender to the Regime to avoid fighting, they just force you to fight for them as their slaves.

- So not much has changed. The ground invasion is still coming, and that will decide the next steps. Iran will just continue to bomb everyone while the US fires missiles at mountains uselessly until then. The US and Arabs will back down until then.
source: https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/2034458082957197520 , https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/2034459044950184151

- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. Brent Crude Oil
o 3. Natural Gas
o 4. WTI Crude Oil
o 5. Broad Commodities
o 6. Agriculture Commodities
o 7. The US Dollar

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. Bitcoin
o 2. Gold
o 3. Crypto
o 4. Materials
o 5. Consumer Staples
o 6. Consumer Discretionary
o 7. Healthcare

- So much for bullish stability, huh? Attacking the Iranian energy infrastructure was retarded, and Iran is showing that they’ll hold all the cards and have planned multiple moves. We’re just waiting for the ground invasion to watch this colossal fuck up enter its next phase.
- The markets are predictably fucked. High energy means high inflation, which means no rate cuts, which means recession. The AI bubble also relies on cheap energy and Middle Eastern investment, both of which are gone. It’s fucked.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/greatest-risk-global-economy-stagflation-driven-governments-not-oil

- A ray of hope is that gold and silver are falling because if the FED raises rates to fight energy inflation, that means no money printing, and that’s bullish for the dollar and bearish for metals, but those analysts are stupid. The government has to cut rates because there are trillions of dollars in bonds due this year. It doesn’t matter what energy does. Silver is currently $76 on the futures market, finally breaking below $80. Speculators seem to be pivoting from silver to oil for obvious reasons, and the physical price is heading down (finally). It’s still a little high, but if it continues to go down, I’ll buy more silver.

- The bottom line is that the 25th is the estimated date of the ground invasion, where somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 marines are going to die for Israel, and then we’ll see what Trump does after that. The only card they’ll have to play after that is to use nukes.

Monkey’s Market Minute: March 17th, 2026

This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- In today’s prep segment, you can make your own toothpaste with coconut oil and baking soda. It’s super easy, and you should be stocking coconut oil and baking soda anyway because coconut oil has a 5+ year shelf life and a pleasant smell. I use it for candles and soap, as well as conditioning my cast-iron cookware. You can even use it as a lubricant. Coconut oil is awesome, but I’ve talked about coconut oil before. Baking soda is also an important product on its own. It’s used in baking (duh) but is also the main ingredient in Tums because it neutralizes acid. You can use it to put out grease fires and as a deodorizer. I’m sure you have some in your house right now. So the next time you’re low on toothpaste, instead of buying the latest platinum whitening paste with a hologram on the box that costs $10, make some toothpaste yourself for pennies. Here’s the recipe:

o Mix portions of coconut oil and baking soda 1:1 (for a chalky, gritty paste) or 2:1 (for a smoother paste). You can also add 10-20 drops of mint essential oil for flavor if you want, but it’s optional.
o Mix everything and put it in a container or a piping bag. That’s it, you made toothpaste. It’s that simple, two ingredients with optional flavoring. Be aware that this toothpaste does NOT contain any fluoride.

- Let’s return to our regular analysis:

- Trump is trying to get other countries to join him against Iran, and nobody is joining. Iran is telling the Arabs to stop cooperating with America and Israel and to join them as fellow Muslims. There was a report that Saudi Arabia is telling the US to hit Iran harder, but Saudi Arabia is denying it. There was also an EU delegation in Dubai that was killed using a drone that hit a hotel, but why would Iran kill an EU delegation? They don’t benefit from that at all, but America does since they’re trying to get Europe to enter the war, and the US has its own knock-off Iranian drones called LUCAS. The US has also attacked Arab countries to get them to enter the war against Iran as well, but so far, it hasn’t worked, thanks to Russian/Chinese satellites tracking the battlefield. Trump is so desperate that he sounds insane. He is having a nervous breakdown and doesn’t know what to do. This is what happens when a boomer realizes that doubling down endlessly wasn’t the right call after all.

- Regarding the Marine land invasion, the number has gone from 2,500 to 5,000, but now it’s only 2,000. The goal appears to be Kharg Island, which is Iran’s natural gas hub. The idea is that Iran’s economy relies on its energy exports, and seizing (or destroying) Kharg Island will cause the government to collapse or something. This is retarded because Iran has been sanctioned for so many years that they’ve become self-sufficient. Yes, they do export energy, but being sanctioned for so long has forced them to provide for their own needs domestically. They don’t rely on trade. They are self-sufficient, which is ideal for a war, and we’ve ironically made Iran much more resilient due to our years of sanctions against it. Destroying Kharg Island will not end the war, but it will cause Iran to destroy the infrastructure of Israel and the allied Arab states, which absolutely DO rely on trade. Iran is actually more economically resilient than any of its enemies.
source: https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2026/03/marine-expeditionary-unit-ordered-to-the-middle-east/

- So nothing has changed. We’re still waiting on the ground invasion, which will happen soon, either this week or next week. Trump has no other option, and he’s not going to take the “L”. The only alternative is to nuke Iran, which would lead to a global nuclear arms race since the US just proved that when they pull their “surrender or die” bullshit and they lose, they nuke you, so you everyone will need nukes to deter aggression from the US and Israel, and that’s assuming nobody does anything about Iran being nuked and Russia and Pakistan were lying for funsies.

- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. Bitcoin
o 2. Crypto
o 3. Information Technology
o 4. Consumer Discretionary
o 5. Communications Technology
o 6. Bonds
o 7. S&P 500 Index

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. WTI Crude Oil
o 3. Natural Gas
o 4. Brent Crude Oil
o 5. Broad Commodities
o 6. Agriculture Commodities
o 7. The US Dollar

- Why is the market bullish? The war in Iran isn’t over or even getting better for the US in any measurable way, but you’ve forgotten, dear reader, that normies have a goldfish memory, and if the market crashes but the world doesn’t end, the normies will pour back into the market. The Iran War and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz don’t seem to be escalating, and if it’s not escalating, it’s stable, and if it’s stable, that’s bullish.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/oil-dumps-stocks-jump-strait-opens-ish-bitcoin-gold-down-again

- Escalation is up to Trump. Iran is winning and just has to outlast the Regime, thus the markets are perceiving the lack of escalation as stability. The ground invasion is the next shoe to drop. If Kharg Island is destroyed, Iran will retaliate, and you’ll see the market puke again. Trump won’t take the “L” so expect something stupid to happen in the next week or so.

- The bottom line is that nothing has changed. Iran will maintain the status quo until they bleed the Regime dry, so we’re just waiting to see how this Marine invasion goes. Even if the Marines take the island and cut off Iran’s gas exports, nothing will change. Iran is too economically resilient after years of sanctions to be bankrupted by one commodity export. A lot of marines are going to die for nothing, but at least things are happening, I suppose.

- In today’s prep segment, consider a gravity water filter. I went over how to make one using 5-gallon buckets and various media like gravel and charcoal, but if you want something simple and ready to go, here is a stainless steel system for about $100 (25% off), which processes over 2 gallons at a time. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCKXXRJC

- Let’s return to our normal analysis:

- Trump is claiming that anything showing Iran is winning is AI-generated and fake news, and that if the media doesn’t censor it, the government is going to pull their license. That’s how badly things are going.
source: https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/2033333079008579769

- The American bases in Iraq are being destroyed. I don’t know what the casualties are, but if the US loses the airbases in Iraq, they won’t be able to conduct air-refueling over Iraqi airspace, and will no longer be able to bomb Iran outside of long-range missiles, which they’re running out of.
source: https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/2033358701319585919

- No updates regarding the ground invasion at this time. I’m also getting conflicting reports on whether or not the number of Marines being sent in will be 2,500 or 5,000.
- Trump is threatening NATO that if Europe doesn’t send its navies to help fight Iran, there will be a “very bad future”. This just gets better and better.
source: https://www.ft.com/content/1ca6d121-760b-4ec5-b6ad-514fdaa94873 , https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/risking-energy-assets-across-region-trump-crosses-iran-red-line-bombing-kharg-island

- Meanwhile, in the markets, oil and metals are falling because the war is over, Iran has been destroyed, and the Strait of Hormuz is open! None of that is true, but the media is saying it, so it must be true. I told you at the beginning that it could take months before the true extent of the failure is admitted, similar to the failed Ukrainian counteroffensive in 2023. This ground invasion with the Marines is pretty much their last chance to turn this around. If the Marines are slaughtered, it's likely over, but the propaganda and censorship will be turned up to 11 if only to buy time.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/oil-lpg-tankers-cross-hormuz-strait-hinting-back-channel-coordination

- I’m also seeing more and more people shilling for Israel and saying that they need to support Israel. Today, I even saw someone on X that I’ve never interacted with before, claiming that I’ve betrayed everything I stood for, and I’m harming MGTOW because I am not standing with Israel. I’ve never seen this motherfucker in my life, and I’ve been pro-BRICS for years, but now I’m hurting MGTOW itself because I don’t support Israel? Why are all these Israel shills showing up everywhere? Against me, a fucking nobody who reviews sex dolls? Shit’s crazy out there.

- The bottom line is that everything is working out as I expected, with Iran exceeding my expectations. Regarding Cuba, there is nothing confirmed, just Trump saying that Cuba wants to make a deal, but he’s been lying his ass off about Iran begging ot make a deal, so take Trump with a massive grain of salt. We’ll see how the ground invasion goes and see what happens next.

- In today’s prep segment, I assume we’ve all got the basics covered at this point, so let’s go beyond the basics and consider some specialized gear. Night vision binoculars allow you to see in the dark, and if people want to do you harm, especially if they know you have supplies, they’ll attack at night, using the lack of power and the cloak of darkness to get the drop on you. Even with some basic perimeter alarms and defenses, you can’t shoot what you can’t see, which is where a pair of night vision binoculars comes in. You can even get a night vision gun scope to keep your hands free, and pay even more to upgrade from night vision to thermal vision and see like the Predator. I don’t own a rifle (only a shotgun), so I can’t recommend anything fancy, but do your own research and make sure you have some kind of night (or thermal) vision for your gun so that you’re not completely blind in a grid-down scenario once the sun sets. The unit I’m linking to is untested, so don’t just buy it on my recommendation. This is a pretty expensive piece of gear, so do your own research and get a unit that makes sense for your needs: https://www.amazon.com/Goggles%EF%BC%8CQpingan-Infrared-Tactical-Binoculars-Essentials/dp/B0F4NP4Z3S

- Let’s return to our normal analysis:

- Russian intelligence has confirmed that the attacks on Oman did not come from Iran, nor did they come from Israel. It was the US, specifically the USS Lincoln, which launched cruise missiles at Oman to get them to enter the war against Iran. The USS Lincoln has subsequently been attacked by Iranian drones and suffered a mysterious, unrelated fire, and is leaving the theater for repairs. It’s good news that Russian (and presumably Chinese) satellites are monitoring and preventing any Jewish tricks.
source: https://x.com/cirnosad/status/2032285891046359334

- There is still a lot of misinformation and propaganda out there, and a lot of accounts are being censored on X, making it even worse to know what’s going on. The new Supreme Leader of Iran may be dead because his first statement since taking power was a written statement with no video. Netanyahu may be dead because his video address today appears to have AI artifacts with too many fingers in several frames. Is it true? Is it bullshit? We’ll just have to wait and see because I can’t fucking tell who is lying anymore.

- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. WTI Crude Oil
o 3. Brent Crude Oil
o 4. Broad Commodities
o 5. Natural Gas
o 6. Energy
o 7. Utilities

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. Crypto
o 2. Industrials
o 3. Consumer Discretionary
o 4. Gold
o 5. Healthcare
o 6. Information Technology
o 7. Communications Technology

- No new statements about the war being over today. Trump actually looks like he’s walking back statements and blaming other people to avoid admitting he fucked up, which is not a good sign if you’re rooting for the Regime.

- The markets stopped “buying the dip” today. The next step is a ground invasion of Iran, which will be coming next week or so. Trump was probably hoping to lie his ass off to close the gap, but couldn’t. Iran is in control, and the only chance the US has is to invade Iran with ground troops by parachuting them into Tehran, since they have no safe country to stage a ground invasion from. The ground invasion will decide and end the war one way or another. If the ground invasion succeeds, then the Regime wins. If the ground invasion fails, the Regime falls. It could happen as soon as next week. The oil clock is ticking down.

- The entire AI bubble is built on the premise of cheap energy. An energy crisis smashes everything. Private capital is already crashing. Tech companies will be next because the whole AI circle jerk was funded with private capital. Iran has the Regime by the balls, and they’re squeezing.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/us-stocks-were-pressured-higher-oil-prices-brent-crude-back-above-usd-100bbl-iran-digs

- The bottom line is that I expect things to more or less carry on as they are until the ground invasion. There may be a false flag to gain support for it ahead of time, but it could easily backfire if Russia/China provides intelligence that it was the US or Israel behind it. This is something the Regime isn’t used to dealing with. They’re used to having complete narrative control, but if Russia/China have receipts, a false flag could backfire horribly, but I expect a ground invasion to be announced next week, regardless. That ground invasion will very likely go sideways, and the Regime will die. However, we can’t predict the outcomes before they happen, so continue to prepare, and we’ll see what happens together.

- In today’s prep segment, you need to start stocking up on emergency supplies right now. Buy extra toilet paper, hand sanitizer, medicine, etc. Go through and see what you’re low on and pick up some extra the next time you go to the store. We’re not talking about insurance for a someday emergency; we’re going to have shortages in the very near future, but the TV is keeping people calm, so nobody is panicking, which is a good thing. Take advantage of this calm before the storm and stock up now. Load up.

- Now let’s return to our regular analysis:

- Today, Trump declared victory in Iran and declared the Strait of Hormuz open, and then Iran blew up two oil tankers and also attacked an Indian weapons factory that was building drones for Israel. I think India is going to get kicked out of BRICS, and Iran is going to be the new “I”.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hegseth-warns-most-intense-day-operation-epic-fury-iea-plans-largest-ever-spr-dump , https://x.com/rkmtimes/status/2031921881167671576

- So the war is definitely not over, but Trump did announce that we will begin releasing the last of the SPR oil to keep prices stable for the next 4-6 weeks, then it’s gone. There will be a window to launch a ground invasion of Iran within that window to win the war before the SPR runs out, so I believe that will be the play.

- Lastly, there is a false flag warning regarding Iranian drones in California, which doesn’t even make sense. I could buy China attacking California with drones, but not Iran. Iran is closer to the East Coast than the West Coast, and terrorism isn’t its style. They only go after military targets. Just stay safe out there, everyone.

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. Bonds
o 3. Consumer Staples
o 4. Real Estate
o 5. Financials
o 6. Utilities
o 7. Gold

- Announcing the SPR release actually made the markets fall because the markets are realizing that Trump is lying about the war being over, and this is going to go on for weeks at best.

- There’s nothing else to talk about in the markets. The energy crisis directly affects the AI bubble because these data centers don’t run on happy thoughts, so the Iran War is very likely to be the trigger for the biggest economic crash in any of our lifetimes. Strap in.

- The bottom line is that you need to make sure you’re stocked as much as possible. The US and Israel started another war, and it’s not going well at all. It’s probably going to get worse before it gets worse. Stay safe out there.

Learn how to manage your own money or seek out a professional who can give you personalized financial services. This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- In today’s prep segment, consider reinforcing your front door so that it can’t be kicked open or broken into with basic hand tools like a hammer or axe. Make them blow their way in if they want to break into your house. This won’t just protect your house from crack heads and criminals, but if hockey mask time occurs, and you’re being served a no-knock warrant at midnight, having a reinforced door could be the difference between giving yourself a fighting chance or getting shot to death in your bed with your dick in your hands. It’s not illegal to reinforce your door, and it only costs about $100 in materials. However, if you’re a renter, make sure you have your landlord’s permission, and check the HOA rules ahead of time. Here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/Door-Armor-MAX-Complete-Reinforcement/dp/B00E9ZGWH2

- So what was the big thing that happened today? Trump did announce that the war was ending, causing oil prices to plunge from $120 to $80 in a single day, and everyone began celebrating, but the funny thing is that nothing happened. Trump’s big plan isn’t to drop nukes, but to just gaslight everyone and tell them the war is over while the war is very much ongoing and Iran is winning. I guess his plan “worked” in the sense that the markets reversed, but people are going to find out very quickly that the war isn’t over when the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and bombs continue to fall on Israel. Is his plan really just to lie and rely on his alpha male frame bullshit? Apparently so.
source: https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/2031137548970692717 , https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-says-no-room-talks-us-seeks-partition-country-take-oil-new-hardline-ayatollah

- Meanwhile, I’m getting reports that US personnel are abandoning the Middle East and flying home en masse, which means the US is abandoning the Middle East. I’m also seeing reports that Iran is offering to let other Middle Eastern countries use the Strait of Hormuz if they kick out all the US and Israeli diplomatic personnel and essentially stop doing business with them altogether. Trump has said that the US is going to use its navy to seize the Strait of Hormuz, and the French are sending a small fleet as well to force the re-opening of the Strait because the US believes that Iran can’t sink a warship. Iran has been telling people that they are saving their “good shit” for the appropriate time, and have made good on that promise lately. They weren’t bluffing and coping, but … we’ll see, I guess.

- Also, they’re talking about lifting oil sanctions on Russia because with the Middle East shut down, Europe is fucked, but Putin is twisting the knife and saying that he may not sell oil to Europe because he has new friends that appreciate him.
source: https://x.com/RT_com/status/2031131958965657904

- So it’ll be interesting to see how long Trump's lying to people’s faces is going to work to keep oil prices low, probably not long, and once the market realizes that Trump is talking shit, the government will lose that tool permanently, as all trust will have been lost.

- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. Crypto
o 2. Information Technology
o 3. Bonds
o 4. Bitcoin
o 5. Healthcare
o 6. S&P 500 Index
o 7. Industrials

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. WTI Crude Oil
o 3. Brent Crude Oil
o 4. Broad Commodities
o 5. Agriculture Commodities
o 6. Financials
o 7. Energy

- Do you see now why I just stay in cash in times like these? Who wants the stress of trying to guess the next move in this rigged casino based on fraud and bullshit? Everything that caused the market to move today was based on lies, so does that mean that the market will reverse, or that the normies will believe the same lies tomorrow? Who can say?

- So the bottom line is that I’m genuinely curious what Trump’s next move is. Iran isn’t going to agree to a ceasefire, and he’s checkmated and can’t win, and just lying isn’t going to work very long, so now what? We’re truly in uncharted waters.

Monkey’s Market Minute: March 9th, 2026

Disclaimer: Never take investment advice from strangers on the internet, especially monkeys. Learn how to manage your own money or seek out a professional who can give you personalized financial services. This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- I hope you’ve found these prep segments useful and taken action on some things because shit is about to get really bad. If you haven’t already, make sure you have the following durable dry goods: rice, beans, dehydrated milk, salt, oats, and honey. These all last decades if stored correctly, and can be combined into all kinds of dishes. These are your staples in any emergency. They can be portioned in mylar bags and stored in 5-gallon buckets for a fraction of the cost of those fancy emergency food containers. Here is a video:

- Let’s return to the Great Happening, already in progress:

- Everything is so fucked, it’s hilarious. Supposedly, something big is going to happen in the next 24 hours. The ground invasion is likely cancelled because they can’t survive another week of Israel getting their shit rocked to organize it, and they don’t have the ground forces right now anyway. A lot of analysts are saying that Israel is going to nuke Iran, and that’s very likely, but other analysts are saying that Trump is going to try and stage some kayfabe bullshit and declare victory, similarly to how he declared victory during the 12 Day War last year. The idea is that Trump is either going to launch more special forces into or drop a MOAB onto an Iranian nuclear facility and claim that they destroyed Iran’s nuclear material, and then declare victory and beat a hasty retreat, and hope that Iran opens up the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian President did intimate that he’s open to de-escalation, but only lasting peace, not a “ceasefire” that Israel will violate in a few months. So one of two things will happen in the next 24 hours:

o Trump launches a fake and gay attack on some sit in Iran, claims they neutralized the nuclear material, declares victory, and tries to memory hole the humiliating defeat.

o Israel nukes Iran, and WW3 happens.
source: https://x.com/FinanceLancelot/status/2030799983604330734 , https://x.com/IntelTweet/status/2030693059470520725

- Many are predicting that Trump needs to declare “victory” and end the war because the oil markets are spiking. All attempts to manipulate the futures market have failed, and oil is over $100, heading higher.
source: https://x.com/UnityNewsNet/status/2030717380704248219

- So this will be an unambiguous Iranian victory. In fact, the puppet King of Bahrain has been overthrown by the people, meaning the US has just permanently lost CENTCOM. Saudi Arabia is also in talks with Iran, and you will see the Arab world switch sides very quickly. The US is finished in the Middle East, and Israel is fucked. I hear Argentina is beautiful this time of year, though.

- The question is, will Iran agree to the kayfabe? I believe they will if the US is forced out of the region. Israel will then be given time to leave the region as well. If the Jews try any bullshit, Israel will be flattened.

- The other wars against BRICS will quickly and quietly wrap up. South Korea will make peace with North Korea. Taiwan will make peace with China. Japan will quietly drop all plans to remilitarize. Ukraine will agree to Russia’s demands. This is how the Regime dies, not with a bang, but a sad whimper. Meanwhile, China did nothing and won. Sun Tzu would be pleased.

- The next phase is going to depend on Iran. If Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz and the oil flows again, that will prevent an energy crisis, and the AI bubble can limp along, but what’s the point any longer? The entire reason to prop up the market and keep the wars going was to benefit Israel, and they just lost. The empire is over. You get nothing. You lose. Good day, sir. When will the market crash? I don’t know. The government still has a few tools in its toolbelt to buy some time, but as the world dumps dollars and switches to BRICS, the laws of economics will win as they always do.

- If the government keeps manipulating, I will stay in cash. If the government FINALLY, at long last, lets the market work and uses the Iran War as a justification to let the crash happen, then we slide into financial stocks and real estate AFTER THE CRASH. DO NOT BUY STOCKS NOW AND TRY TO FRONT RUN THE CRASH. WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE CRASH AND THEN BUY FINANCIAL STOCKS AND REAL-ESTATE. I swear to God, if you buy financial stock now and blame me, I’m going to be so pissed at you. For $5 a month, you guys don’t pay me enough to tolerate shit like that.

- The next week is going to be nuts. The world as we know it will change. The Regime is done. Now we need to see if they try to squeeze harder to hold onto power, or flee like rats from a sinking ship. We can do this the easy way or the fun way.

- There are too many moving parts and ways this could go to form a working thesis right now. We’ll just have to see how the next 24 hours play out, and I’ll call things as they happen.

- We’re not out of the woods. Years of economic mismanagement and financial manipulaion is going to have tobe unwound and the bill paid, so we’re still going to have a horrible stagflationary depression, but perhaps not hyperinflation and civil war. People stop digging the hole deeper now that Israel is fucked. We’ll see.

- The bottom line is that the war will wrap up soon, and the Regime lost. It’s over-over now. Israel probably won’t launch its nukes because they aren’t facing genocide (whether or not they deserve to is another matter), and will be allowed to leave peacefully to South America, or maybe Ukraine. I heard they are nearly depopulated at this point, so maybe if the wars wrap up quickly, the Jews can go to Ukraine and try again in another 2,000 years. We’ll have to watch the markets and see what the government does. Hopefully, they let the manipulation unwind and stop digging the hole deeper, but I’ll be surprised if they don’t double down and cause hyperinflation.

- In today’s prep segment, make sure you have a manual can opener. They cost a few bucks, so maybe get 2, but if you are reliant on an electric can opener and the power goes out, your electric can opener becomes a paperweight. In fact, you should make sure you have manual cooking tools that don’t rely on batteries or electronics, including thermometers and scales. Being able to do things manually without electricity or batteries means you can do those things when they matter most. If you’re used to using hand blenders, they have a semi-auto whisk that spins by pushing down on the whisk with mechanical force. Consider picking up tools like these. https://www.amazon.com/Digead-Stainless-Versatile-Blending-Whisking/dp/B088TH4QDV

- Let’s return to our normal analysis:

- The US and Israel appear to be out of air defense missiles. Videos show missiles hitting Tel Aviv with nothing being launched to intercept them. Since the air defenses are depleted, Iran has launched a brand new missile that splits into 80 missiles in the air and rains death. There is a video of the rocket splitting in the air, but no video of the damage because of heavy Israeli censorship of damage on the ground. The US is staging its ground invasion from Iraq, and I expected Iran to bomb the shit out of them, but they’re not. The Foreign Minister said that they’re awaiting them, which means they have something special planned for them.

- The Regime has convinced Azerbaijan to join with the Kurds and Americans to invade Iran. Azerbaijan was being a little asshole against Russia and trying to cozy up to NATO anyway, so Iran dealing with them is doing Russia a favor.
source: https://carnegieendowment.org/russia-eurasia/politika/2025/07/azerbaijan-russia-arguments , https://eadaily.com/en/news/2026/03/05/azerbaijani-army-will-invade-iran-if-it-starts-losing-mardan

- So that’s the next shoe to drop. We’re waiting to see how the big ground invasion goes for the Regime. They are supposed to be sending in 50,000 troops along with whatever troops Azerbaijan and the Kurds provide. To put everything in perspective, the force that invaded Iraq in 2003 was 175,000. Iran also has about twice the population that Iraq has, and about 3X the landmass of Iraq. Also, Iran has the direct military support of Russia and China, which Iraq didn’t have, and even if they did, Russia and China are vastly more advanced than they would have been in 2003. It’s also worth repeating that the US does NOT have total air supremacy in Iran, which they had in Iraq. Finally, if those 50,000 troops are killed, that’s it. There won’t be a second chance. Pulling this shit during an election year practically gift-wrapped Trump’s impeachment, not that the Democrats aren’t pro-Israel, but Trump will be taking the fall for this failed war.

- In the markets, all you have to know is that we have 3 days before commodities explode. They were supposed to have the Strait of Hormuz open in 4 days. They said that the Iranian navy was destroyed and that America had absolute air supremacy, and the markets believed them. Now that it’s clear they were lying, the countdown has begun.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/jpmorgans-new-hormuz-closure-math-just-3-days-until-total-commodity-chaos

- Also, the US government is openly admitting that it’s going to engage in commodities futures manipulation to keep prices down. All you motherfuckers who said I was coping because I lost money on natural gas can lick my fucking butthole.

source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stocks-slammed-below-key-support-oil-yields-soar

- The bottom line is that this will all get hashed out on the battlefield. The government can lie and manipulate oil prices for a while, but when Iran destroys their army, the world will see it, and nothing else will matter. An empire can paper over inflation and even lie to people’s face, but losing a war is unforgivable. Then the only question will be whether the US launches nukes out of spite or not. We’ll see.

Learn how to manage your own money or seek out a professional who can give you personalized financial services. This newsletter is just my thoughts and opinions, and if you copy me and lose the money, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

- In today’s prep segment, I have something unusual that I want you to consider: the next time you go to the store, instead of buying frozen foods, buy the canned equivalents and see how you like them. If you don’t like them, try preparing them in different ways to see if you can make them work. Not only are canned foods more shelf stable, but they’re often cheaper because they can be shipped without being frozen, so they can be imported from cheaper markets. IF you don’t like pickled foods because they’re too acidic, prepare them with sugar and salt. The importance of this is not only to save money and encourage you to stock up on canned goods, but also to remind you that you should stock the food you actually eat, and actually eat the food you stock, otherwise you’re just taking up space with “prepper food” that will rot on your shelf and never get used.

- Let’s now return to our regular analysis:

- Two major incidents happened today involving Iran. Firstly, there was an Iranian ceremonial ship that was attending exercises with India when the war broke out. This lone Iranian ship was unarmed and staffed with ceremonial personnel and was India’s guest. The US used a submarine and blew up the ship, and when the crew was calling for help, the Indians did nothing. The nearby Sri Lankan navy saved about 40% of the crew; the rest perished. Secondly, the US was using the Kurdish invasion from the West as a distraction to send US special forces via parachute into Iran to seize a nuclear facility. The special forces were ambushed and either all killed or perhaps some were captured. There is a strict media blackout on the incident.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/military/world-war-iranian-warship-reportedly-sunk-sri-lanka-submarine-attack , https://merovingian.club/web/@Terry@poa.st/116175117619382812

- The US is completely out of air defenses. Israel is also burning through air defenses quickly. They carpet-bombed Tehran, so Iran sent hypersonic cluster missiles into Tel Aviv.

- We’re still waiting on the Kurds to throw themselves at Iran. The Arabs have also threatened to join the fight, but Iran and the Houthis said that if they did, all of their oil infrastructure would be targeted. Did I mention the US is out of air defenses? There is nothing the US can do to protect the oil from Iran, so my hunch is the Arabs shake their fist in the air and do nothing.

- In the markets, the government is stabilizing not only the US market but also the global markets, too. Everything is fine. In fact, the US has already announced that Iran is totally defeated and the Strait of Hormuz will be open. That’s not true, but the normies are buying it for now, so it worked, but for how long? Eventually, the US is actually going to have to defeat Iran instead of just claiming to while Israel eats missiles with no air defenses. Goldman Sachs expects the Strait of Hormuz to be opened in 5 days. Tick Tock.

- Of all the fake and gay markets I’ve witnessed, this is by far the fakest and the gayest market. This is basically the opposite of COVID. Instead of propaganda to scare everyone over a sore throat, they’re using propaganda to tell everyone we’re winning and Iran has been defeated. How many more days of this before people start to question the narrative? It could be a long time if COVID is the baseline.

- So the bottom line is that it’s day 5. When the US invaded Iraq in 2003, the Iraqi military was quickly defeated, and the capital was taken in 6 days. Israel lasted 12 days last year against Iran. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

- In today’s prep segment, I’m going to strongly recommend the Stanley FatMax 1200 Amp Jump Starter, 120 PSI Air Compressor, USB Power Bank, and Lamp. I personally own this (although it's an older model), and it’s paid for itself many times over. It’s less than $100 and allows you to instantly jump your car yourself in an emergency and refill a flat tire, but since it also has USB outlets and a lamp, it’s also an effective emergency power bank. If you have a Sam’s Club membership, I strongly recommend this unit for your car. https://www.samsclub.com/ip/STANLEY-FATMAX-1200-Amp-Jump-Starter-120-PSI-Air-Compressor-USB-Power/15188023565 However, if you don’t have a Sam’s Club membership, I have a similar unit to recommend that has more features, but costs a little more ($150 versus $100). This unite have AC power, not just USB power ad a built-in solar panel so that you can leave this in your car where the sun will hit it and keep it topped off indefinitely. If you get the Stanley from Sam’s Club, you do have to bring it inside to recharge it every couple of months because the battery will slowly drain, but if you have the one with the built-in solar panel, you won’t have to worry about it. The unit I’m recommending is currently 20%off, normally $200, but on sale for $160. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B872ZR99/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A11FPJAW36YQTD I still think the Stanley is the better deal if you have a Sam’s Club membership, though.

- Let’s return to our financial and geopolitical analysis:

- Day 3 of the Iran War, and it’s going much worse than I anticipated. I knew Iran would win because they won the 12-day war last year and are much stronger now with the direct help of Russia and China (whom Iran originally didn’t accept help from, believing they would repair relations with America, underestimating Israel’s influence). However, even I am shocked at just how badly the Regime is getting its ass kicked. The few unknown variables have fallen into place, and all of it is bad for the Regime, fatally so:

o The new Ayotollah of Iran, whom I knew nothing about and was waiting to see if he was a hawk or a dove, is apparently very hawkish, and has been a voice advocating for nuclear weapons, believing that the fatwa against them was wrong and that only Israel’s destruction would bring peace. Well, Israel killed the Ayatollah, who was against nukes, and his successor wants to wipe out Israel with nukes, so three guesses how this is going to go. In his first public statement, he declared that the time for negotiations was over, that Israel uses their nukes like a scarecrow, that they have no idea what Iran is going to unleash, and that every crime, every suffering Israel has inflicted will be returned. There were rumors that Israel killed him shortly after being made the new leader, but those were fake. https://x.com/sahelbrut3/status/2028590136644993466

o In fact, the regime has had no real success in Iran at all aside from the initial strike and the sinking of their navy, which the Iranians never bothered to defend. The Iranian navy is a regional navy and had no chance against the US Navy, so they just abandoned the ships at port to their fate to spare the lives of the crews. Aside from those victories, the Regime has been totally ineffective against Iran. Iran’s missile facilities are all deep underground and in the mountains and totally protected from air strikes, as the US should have remembered from when they tried to defeat the Houthis with airstrikes.

o The Shia Muslims have finally begun rioting and risen to overthrow their government … in Bahrain. US and Arab forces are currently trying to put down rioters in Bahrain, trying to overthrow the government and drive the US out of their country. Iran also destroyed the US embassy in Saudi Arabia, as well as destroyed the US bases (and the hotels that the US personnel were hiding in). The Arabs are pissed because the US abandoned them to defend Israel, and the Regime’s air defenses are totally worthless. The only Arab country that Iran hasn’t attacked is Oman, which is not home to any US bases and acted as a mediator with Iran and the US before the war. https://x.com/Partisangirl/status/2028647253460807892

o The Regime is already beginning to run out of air defense missiles. Israel lasted almost 2 weeks last year against Iran, but now the Regime is running out of air defense missiles after 3 days. Also, the Iranian missiles are now equipped with upgrades thanks to Russia and China, and the air defenses aren’t even working anyway.

o Supposedly, Israel has a new “laser dome” that can shoot down missiles instantly using lasers, and there is a video of them instantly shooting down Hezbollah rockets from Lebanon, but if you have a laser gun that can instantly shoot down rockets from Lebanon, why can’t it shoot down the Iranian drones and missiles? Did you only put this amazing laser gun weapon on the Lebanese border and forget to defend your main cities, or is the whole “laser dome” AI-generated horse shit?

o The US is considering removing missile defenses from Asia (South Korea, Japan, etc.) to protect its REAL greatest ally, Israel. It’s the “China: do nothing, win” meme. The US has already said it isn’t sending any stock to the Arabs, who have complained that they’ve exhausted several years of production in the last few days.
source: https://x.com/Megatron_ron/status/2028670620922257520

o I’ve seen questionable reports of possible nuclear testing, and with the blood moon happening, there is a lot of speculation that a nuclear weapon will be used in Iran. If that happens, it’s WW3, and it’s not going to be particularly long. With the US using negotiations to launch attacks twice in a row, there’s simply nothing to discuss. Either Russia and China nuke Israel and/or the US, or they’ll be nuked themselves. This is the corner that Israel has painted the Regime into. There will be no winners.

- That’s about it for now. Like I’ve said, take a lot of this with a grain of salt because it’s based on social media. I try to follow reliable sources and look for confirmation, but I’ve been fooled before, so if any of the above isn’t accurate, I apologize.

- The markets are a total joke. Everything was positive, and the Israeli stock market made a new all-time high as the missiles were falling. You can’t make this shit up. Meanwhile, gas prices in Europe are up 50% in a day, but not in America; nope, everything is fine. My hunch is that the insiders were caught with their pants down and need time to sell their bags to the normies, but there is no way to prop this shit up long term. They are likely only buying themselves a few days for the elites to make off with their ill-gotten gains.

o 3. Bitcoin

- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. Consumer Staples
o 2. Bonds
o 3. Consumer Discretionary
o 4. Healthcare
o 5. Utilities

- You’d be forgiven for being confused by the market today, but that confusion is quickly alleviated once you realize how fake and gay the market is.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stocks-were-choppy-and-energy-prices-surged-amid-iran-conflict-newsquawk-asia-pac-market

- The bottom line is that day 3 has been another W for Iran, but the blood moon is today, and maybe nukes get used. Who knows? Maybe some crazy antichrist shit happens today! We’ll just have to wait and see together. So far, the fact that the Regime is doing so badly so quickly compared to the 12-day war last year is shocking even for me. It appears Trump really didn’t have a plan and just trusted his Jewish advisors unquestioningly. What a dumbass.

- In today’s prep segment, I’m just going to recommend cast-iron cookware and point out that you can season your cast-iron with coconut oil. You can use any oil, including lard or bacon grease, if you want, but the professional cast iron conditioner you buy in the store (and costs $15) is essentially just coconut oil, which you can just buy in bulk. I use coconut oil in my candles and soap; it’s really a wonderful material, and it has the longest shelf life of any cooking oil (5+ years). Just remember to get virgin coconut oil.

- Let’s return to our financial and geopolitical analysis:

- You’ll have to forgive me when it comes to the Iran War. I have been paying attention to social media off and on, but I didn’t copy/past the exact links because a lot of it is based on social media, and I don’t feel like tracking down those individual posts again, so you’ll just have to “trust me, bro” about some of these, but I’ll post sources when I can:

o Iran shut down the internet again due to the Regime hacking a prayer app in Iran to track targets. There is also a brand-new drone based on Iran’s own drone technology called LUCAS, which the Regime is using, which is equipped with Starlink, so it can’t be jammed, but turning off the internet allows Iran to track Starlink more easily, as they proved in January.

o The Regime is claiming that they have air supremacy and they are bombing Iran into submission, and that all the leaders have been killed, but also that Iran is begging to resume talks and end the war. There is no proof for any of this.

o Iran is attacking ships, but not the warships; they’re targeting the supply ships that rearm the warships. This, in combination with their attacks on US bases throughout the region, indicates that Iran plans to cut off the Regime’s ability to rearm locally, which means they’ll have to withdraw once they exhaust their current inventory of missiles.
o There are already concerns that the Regime is running out of air defense missiles, and it’s only been 2 days. The Regime is still bragging about killing the Ayolottah and hasn’t mentioned any breakthroughs, which is telling.

o Israel is getting their shit rocked much worse than during the 12 Day war last year, which Iran won if you’ll recall. Let’s see what Day 3 brings tomorrow.

o There are a LOT of questionable claims that are unverified, so things could be going better or worse depending on how things pan out.

- Regarding the markets, they opened, and as expected, gold and oil spiked and then quickly sold off. I guess nothing is happening that could affect oil or gold prices. The Straight of Hormuz is closed, but I guess that doesn’t matter. The casino is as rigged as ever, just in case you thought otherwise.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/futures-slide-oil-and-gold-jump-no-panic , https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2028281926398648587

- So that’s about it. The Regime’s answer to the Iran War and the oil prices is to just manipulate the price down and hope for the best. There is no obvious plan, but the boomers won’t take the “L” so I expect Trump to escalate somehow. How? I don’t know, but they’re not going to admit defeat, so they’ll do something stupid.

- In today’s prep segment item is “contractor bags,” which are triple-thick garbage bags. While normal garbage bags are 1-2mm thick, contractor bags are 3-6mm thick. Look for ones that are 5mm thick or more. The ones I’m linking to are 7mm thick and have woven reinforcement. They are 10X stronger than even normal contractor bags. They are listed as being able to hold 110 lbs in a single bag and are reusable due to their durability. They cost about $1 per bag, $20 for a pack of 16. Not only are these incredibly useful simply as bags, but they can be cut up or taped together using ductape in order to make whatever you need. Need a tarp? A makeshift shelter? A poncho? A sandbag? A post-apocalyptic duffel bag? You’re limited only by imagination and ingenuity. https://www.amazon.com/DURASACK-Contractor-40-Gallon-Reusable-Polypropylene/dp/B0DXM6BCRY

- Let’s return to our normal analysis because we have some breaking news!

- Pakistan and Afghanistan have gone to war, but it’s a pretty one-sided war. Afghanistan doesn’t have the patronage of major military suppliers like Russia and China. Their patron was Pakistan, and whatever equipment they had from America. The Taliban had been allowing anti-Pakistan insurgents to set up bases in Afghanistan, similar to how the Taliban allowed Al-Qaeda to set up bases in Afghanistan. Being a former spook, I can actually tell you why they do this. It’s part of their culture to accept guests and to protect guests. They did it with Al Qaeda, which brought the US to declare war on them, and apparently, they were doing the same thing with anti-Pakistan groups, which brought Pakistan to bomb them and kill a bunch of their leaders. Like I said before, Afghanistan’s patron was Pakistan, so there isn’t a lot that they can do in response. They really need to stop allowing terrorists to set up bases in their country. I get that it’s part of their culture, but it clearly hasn’t been working out, and maybe it’s time to reassess this cultural practice, especially when it comes to the countries you’re allied with and dependent on.

- Very sad to see the Taliban go down like this, especially since they were the first country to take women’s rights away, and I had hopes for them, but their habit of giving haven to terrorists is apparently their undoing. Pakistan and Afghanistan aren’t geopolitically important, so it’s whatever. I hope that a reformed Taliban retains control of the country, and after they make peace with Pakistan and stop giving haven to terrorists, they don’t give women their rights back, but it’s whatever. At least they proved that taking women’s rights away was possible, even if they fumbled the ball.

- Before we talk about Iran, we have to talk about Ukraine briefly. Ukraine has been given NATO long-range missiles, which Russia warned would lead to Russia striking NATO. These are NATO “kits” being assembled in Ukraine to give NATO plausible deniability while giving Ukraine the same capability as giving them long-range missiles directly. There is also intelligence that they’re going to give Ukraine nuclear material to create a “dirty bomb” to use against Russia. Russia has to respond forcefully to these aggressions by NATO. If only there were some way to strike out at the United States and militarily humiliate it through some kind of proxy, which would deflate NATO’s belief that the US is invincible and that it can keep aggressing against Russia with impunity. If only…

- Everything circles back to Iran. The Regime is under pressure from Israel to attack because, as I’ve said, from Israel’s perspective, it’s now or never. The Regime is only getting weaker, and if the “Greater Israel Project” is going to happen, they need Iran gone. The above issue involving Russia and the long-range missiles given to Ukraine despite Russia’s warnings simply makes this issue that much more decisive. If the US is defeated, all the wars will end, ALL OF THEM. The US shouldn’t attack, but they might simply because the Jews are demanding it, because to back off now would be seen as a loss, and the Regime NEVER takes “L”s, they ONLY double-down when they lose.

- If Israel wasn’t involved, there would be no war in Iran, but Israel is continuously pushing for war, and Trump is owned by Jews, so it may happen despite what a bad idea it is, which may ultimately be for the best because once the military is defeated similarly to how the NATO-Ukraine army was defeated in 2023, then maybe, just MAYBE, the Regime will actually realize that it needs to stop and admit its empire is crumbling, stop with the money printing and market manipulation, stop with the “great reset” bullshit, and work out a new global security arrangement with Russia and China. Freedom is found only in the tension between equals, but the US (and Israel by extension) must be humbled before they can acceptthat they aren’t in charge any longer and allow freedom to thrive.

- As far as the markets go, everything is crashing again, so the war is back on, maybe? NVIDIA pumped and dumped, but retail (i.e., normies) bought the dip. But why were the insiders selling so aggressively in the first place? It all points back to Iran. If the war is on and it goes badly, the market is going to crash simply because everything is about propping up the empire. If the empire is defeated, the fact that it’s broke and being propped up with fraud no longer matters. An empire that’s broke and fraudulent, but winning on the battlefield is one thing; losing on the battlefield can’t be papered over or solved with tariffs and interest rate cuts.

- A stunning reversal in only 24 hours! Yesterday, the war was canceled, and today it isn’t. The Jews must be very confident. Let’s see how this plays out.

- There is a video from RT that the US will use the sinking of an aircraft carrier as a “Pearl Harbor” moment to begin WW3, but it’s been WW3. They’re launching long-range missiles into Russia right now. The only reason Russia isn’t dropping nukes is that they’re hoping they don’t have to and they can win without them. Sinking an aircraft carrier via Iran is possibly the only way to AVOID WW3, although realistically, if WW3 is to be avoided, Israel must be destroyed, which Iran can also do, so let’s see what Iran can do. They have the fate of millions, possibly billions, on their shoulders. They can end this once and for all.
source: https://x.com/RT_com/status/2027207316517351518

- So the bottom line is that this could finally be the day that the “nothing ever happens” finally ends. With Ukraine launching long-range missiles into Russia, BRICS needs to understand that they need to defeat the US, and Iran is the place to do it since the Jews won’t allow Trump to back down, even if it doesn't make strategic sense. The only way I see the Regime defeating Iran is by using nukes, which means we’re all dead, and there’s nothing left to worry about.

- In today’s prep segment, let’s talk about meat preservation. You need two basic ingredients: salt and sodium nitrate. You’ll need a cool, dry place like a root cellar (or practice using the fridge for now). The sodium nitrate preserves the color and taste of the meat, but it’s dangerous to consume. It’s not to be used like salt; it’s a chemical that causes a reaction in the meat over several days to preserve it. Another thing about sodium nitrate is that when you combine it with charcoal and sulphur, you make gunpowder. Isn’t chemistry fun? Anyway, cured meats last for several months at room temperature. Do you like foods like salami, pepperoni, ham, and even bacon? All of those foods are either partially or fully cured. While store-bought bacon only lasts 2 hours at room temperature, dry-cured and smoked bacon can last 10-20 days at room temperature. Salt is also one of those essential supplies that you’ll want plenty of anyway. Think about what you enjoy eating, and learn how to make it yourself so that you’re less dependent on the supply chain in an emergency. Here is a video about meat curing to get you started. You don’t need special tools for this, other than scales for accurate measuring, just materials and patience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlCnxWUOaAw

- Now let’s return to our regularly scheduled analysis:

- There’s nothing to discuss regarding the markets. The AI bubble persists with Nvidia pumping and dumping. Metals are dumped too. There are no fundamentals at work. It’s just insiders pumping and dumping to line their own pockets. With no growth, the only way the casino can make money is to prey on investors, especially with so many people out of work and hoping to turn trading into their job.

- The market is confirming that the Iran war is cancelled despite what the media is signalling.

- The only update regarding Iran is that Israel is supposedly going to attack Iran first, and then, after Iran retaliates, the US will come to Israel’s defense, and that’s supposedly better from a political standpoint than attacking Iran directly. The media is openly contradicting Trump’s claims that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and the Pentagon is leaking memos against the plan to attack Iran. The war is cancelled, hence the market action.

- We’ll see if Israel attacks Iran. I don’t see any momentum. Nobody is buying that Iran is making nuclear weapons or that Iran is a threat to the US. Maybe Israel will launch a false-flag terrorist attack and blame it on Iran to gin up support for the war. That’s about the only card Israel couldpossibly play. The Regime is checkmated, and they truly don’t know what to do at this point. You love to see it.

- The bottom line is that we’re still waiting for something to happen with Iran. Today, the markets seem to indicate that the war is cancelled, and that’s my conclusion as well, but the media is talking like there is going to be an attack soon. I don’t know how long they can keep this going. Iran isn’t cucking, so either fuck or put your clothes back on and get out.

- Today’s prepper tip is uninsulated stainless steel watertight drinking bottles. They can hold boiling water, and because they’re uninsulated, they will warm a sleeping bag for 4-6 hours, or hold the bottle underneath insulated clothing for extra warmth. A stainless steel container can also be boiled directly by heating the bottle itself with fire, which isn’t true of a plastic bottle, even a high-quality bottle like a Nalgene bottle. You need a water bottle anyway, so why not one that doubles as a mobile heater and a boiling water container? For our purposes, it’s better to get an uninsulated metal bottle because if the bottle is insulated, it will be harder to use it to boil water or as a heater, but it’ll be hotter to the touch if the liquid inside is hot, so be aware of the tradeoffs. Here’s an Amazon link to a two-pack of uninsulated steel sports bottles for under $20. https://www.amazon.com/Yopay-Stainless-Bottles-Uninsulate-Cyclists/dp/B0CSYGJFG1 These can be used as regular drinking bottles and don’t have to be hoarded for an emergency, but if an emergency happens, these bottles have additional uses that most bottles don’t because they’re either made of plastic or insulated.

- Let’s return to our normal financial and geopolitical analysis:

- No updates regarding Iran yet. There are rumors that the attack is going to happen in the next 48 hours, but if that were true, they wouldn’t announce it like that. Netanyahu came and went, and nothing happened. They’re going to cut a deal with Iran, but don’t know how to spin it so that it doesn’t look like they lost, like they did when they lost the trade wars with China. Just pivot to attacking the cartels in Mexico, my dude. They’re right fucking there, just go.

- The market got hammered today with many tech companies crashing due to …. *checks notes* Claude AI being able to write code, which it could do since 2024.

- So yeah, Anthropic, the company behind Claude AI, is apparently going to put the traditional tech sector out of business because normies are realizing in 2026 that AI can write code, which has been happening since 2024, but NOW it’s a big deal for no reason whatsoever. Is Anthropic profitable? No, it’s not. It’s projected to turn its first profit by 2028 if the AI bubble continues at the current pace (hint: it won’t). It’s very strange seeing the market panicking over AI in 2026, but the normies follow the media, and the media is indicating that this is a big deal in 2026.

- I’m not sure what the plan is here. The need to keep the AI bubble going because that’s the only thing propping up the markets, thus the economy, thus the empire. These AI companies aren’t public or profitable, so there’s no way to “invest” in them to keep Wall Street propped up. What’s the plan here? Is everyone distracted with Iran, and whoever’s job it was to keep this circus going on break? I guess we’ll see what the plan is after whatever happens in Iran happens. If we end up going to war, everything will be fucked anyway, so maybe it doesn’t matter.

- So the bottom line is that the Iran War is still kinda sorta maybe happening, but probably not. Also, AI writing code for 2 years suddenly matters, and it's hurting tech companies. We’ll just have to see what the government does with all of this because the economic fundamentals certainly aren’t driving the market in any way right now.

- In today’s prep segment, let’s tackle a big one that I’ve been researching for a while, and that’s antibiotics. You can’t grow antibiotics. You can’t scavenge antibiotics, and you will die if you don’t have antibiotics. Before they were discovered in 1928, the mortality rate of infections was up to 48%, and up to 90% in children. Today, the mortality rate is about 13%, all thanks to antibiotics. Preppers used to buy fish antibiotics, but based on my research, the government started cracking down on preppers buying fish medications in 2023 after COVID (remember when Trump recommended hydroxychloroquine and the news called it fish medicine?). Thanks to the Democrats wanting to stop people from using “fish medicine” instead of injecting themselves with heart-attack-causing gene therapies, I can’t find an easy way to get fish antibiotics. It’s definitely possible, but it’s a huge pain in the ass, not to mention that you have to look up how to convert the dosage for humans. Luckily, the free market provides! There is a company that offers emergency antibiotic kits for humans with 10 different common medications, all using human dosages, and only for about $100 more in total than the fish antibiotics would have cost. You will need a prescription, but it can be done via telemedicine. The price is about $300, which sounds like a lot of money, except remember that you’re getting 10 different medicines. It’s called the Jase Case: https://trueprepper.com/antibiotics-preppers-emergency-supply/

- Now let’s return to our regularly scheduled imperial collapse, already in progress:

- In Mexico, a cartel leader was killed by Mexican Special Forces, and the cartels are attacking across multiple cities. Call me cynical, but the timing of this seems awfully convenient. If Trump cucks on Iran, the Regime needs to start a new war so that the news cycle will quickly move on from the failed war to the new war, and at the moment, the Regime needs a new war; the Mexican cartels provide the Regime with a new (easy) war to flex their muscle.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/mexican-forces-kill-cjng-kingpin-sparks-cartel-chaos-across-guadalajara

- Nothing is happening in Iran. I’m calling it. The Regime is backing down because Iran didn’t cuck and that’s all folks. If the Regime is smart, they’ll quietly drop the blockade against Cuba and go shoot some Mexicans and hope the world forgets about their bullshit.

- Bitcoin crashed today out of nowhere, and I saw reports earlier about an account on Polymarket rumored to be a Trump insider who trades things before they happen with 100% accuracy, shorting the Iranian War, which also backs up my belief that the Iran War is cancelled.

- With the Iran War not happening, what is Israel going to do? They’re forming a regional alliance with Regime puppets to “counter” Iran and BRICS. The nations joining Israel are: India, Greece, Cyprus, and unnamed Arab, African, and Asian countries. LOL, LMAO!
source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/22/netanyahu-says-israel-will-forge-regional-alliance-to-rival-radical-axis

- Lastly, Israel is marshalling its last allies in Iran, the Kurds, to challenge the government. I genuinely feel bad for the Kurds because they’re being sacrificed for nothing. I guess Baal doesn’t care from whom the blood flows.
source: https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-887527 , https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/iraq-based-kurdish-iranian-parties-unite-to-defy-islamic-republic/

- As far as Israel is concerned, this is the end of the Greater Israel Project. You’re done. You lose. You get nothing. Good day, Sir! This alliance of Israel, led by India, will only unite the Middle East behind BRICS. Pakistan will counter India, Turkey will counter Greece, and Cyprus, and Iran just beat Israel again, so what are they going to do? They have nothing left. It’s over. The Kurds are likely to be expelled from Iran for working with Israel, similarly to how the Afghans and Indians were earlier. They backed the wrong horse, sucks to be them, but this is good news for Turkey, which hates the Kurds, and with Israel allying with Greece and Cyprus, Turkey will likely side entirely with BRICS, which is good for BRICS, although they shouldn’t trust Turkey.

- So the smart move for the Regime is to pivot to Mexico and fight the cartels and memory hole Iran as quickly as possible. We’ll see what happens together.

- In the markets, oil is going to fall when the Iran war is officially cancelled, but nothing has fundamentally changed. The economy is still being propped up with the AI bubble, the COMEX is still fake and gay, but metals will likely recover soon now that the Chinese New Year winds down and the Chinese start going back to work. It’s an election year, so all the government numbers will be manipulated to hell, so there’s nothing to do except watch the show unless you want to participate in the bubble yourself, in which case, have fun.

- Lastly, I want to briefly elaborate on what happened at the end of the show yesterday, where someone was telling me I should be investing in value stocks instead of sitting in cash, and that I’m. “timing the market” by not putting my money in stocks. I was tired and annoyed, and didn’t want to deal with normies, but you guys are different, so I’ll explain things to you here: interest rates are high, and inflation is high, the labor market is weak, and the AI companies are unprofitable. We’re due for a major crash, but the government is lying and manipulating things. So what do you do? Do you invest in the markets and trust the government can spin these plates forever, or do you trust the laws of economics? You’re essentially betting on the future either way, but you should never invest in an obvious bubble, even if the government is blessing it. It will eventually break, despite the government’s bullshit. You’ll likely see the government lose control of the metals market this year despite blatant manipulation. There simply isn’t a way for the US to win the war against economics, and I am not betting my life savings on a bubble. Do you know what the year-to-date return of the S&P 500 is so far? 1%! Do you know what money markets are paying right now? Around 3.5% to 4% risk free with full liquidity.

- The bottom line is that we’ll be waiting for confirmation of the “deal” with Iran and the pivoting to Mexico this coming week, and I’ll be paying attention to the metals markets. It doesn’t look like I’ll be getting my junk silver dimes, though, c’est la vie.

- Today I discovered something while testing my candles. I figured out the optimal wax/oil ratio for an optimal burn and started experimenting with different wick types. The most surprising wick that turned out shockingly well was cotton clothesline cord. Make sure you get 100% cotton clothesline, not cotton cord with a synthetic core, because if you burn synthetic fibers, you’ll create harmful gases that you don’t want to breathe, but cotton cord is an excellent wick. It creates big consistant flames, even in a high oil candle, and would be excellent for a lantern (which can run on pure oil). Comparing my cotton cord wick candle to my string wick candle didn’t show a difference in the rate of burn, so the larger flame did not burn through the candle noticeably quicker than a standard string wick. Not only that, but cotton cord is just useful for a basic rope. It’s not going to be as strong as parachute cord or anything, but it’s listed as suitable for camping, and camping is just another way of saying disaster preparation. Rope has infinite uses, and I just gave you another one; it’s a great wick for a slow burn high oil candle or stove. Remember to check and make sure the cord doesn’t contain synthetic fibers before you burn it, though. Your lungs will thank me. https://www.amazon.com/PerkHomy-Purpose-Natural-Crafting-White/dp/B0DBV59TPM

- Let’s return to our regularly scheduled analysis:

- No update on Iran. Trump has indicated that something might happen within the next 10 days, but who knows? Israel has also threatened that if the US doesn’t attack Iran, Israel will do it themselves, and then force the US to come to their rescue and enter the war themselves anyway. The eternal “we’ll see” is still activated, but … who knows?

- I guess we’re going to war with Iran again, everyone, panic!

- In precious metals, they’re still hammering gold to keep it below $5,000 even as China buys it. How long will this last? Who can say? It may take a few months for the metal supply to flow to China, especially wit Chinese New Year ongoing. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish unless all of this is just to buy more time for Israel and their retarded war with Iran, which wouldn’t even surprise me at this point.
source: https://x.com/TFMetals/status/2024552007902573013

- Also, Russia has officially denied the report from the media that Russia is making a deal with the US to go back to the dollar, and calling it “fake news”. It was obviously bullshit because it made no sense, but now it’s officially confirmed bullshit, so we can all move on now.
source: https://www.rt.com/russia/632798-russia-us-deal-economist-fake/

- The bottom line is that we’re still waiting on this whole thing with Iran and the COMEX to play out. The Regime is fucked, and even with the Chinese New Year happening, gold and silver aren’t being as suppressed as I’d like. An ounce of junk silver dimes is currently $60, and it’s only 90% silver! Absolutely disgraceful. The one time I WANT the government to manipulate the markets more, and they let me down.

- In today’s survival prep section, instead of talking about something new, I want to give an update about some stuff I’ve learned on my candle-making journey. I make wax and coconut oil candles, but the ratio of wax and oil affects the burn rate and strength. The more oil, the smaller the flame, but the longer the candle lasts. However, if the flame isn’t hot enough, the melted wax/oil puts out the candle itself. For a basic candle, use a roughly 75/25 wax/oil ratio. A 25/75 wax-to-oil candle works, but the flame is very small and can go out. As a bonus fact, woodwicks are useless unless the candle is 100% wax, but then the candle burns extremely quickly. It’s not worth messing with woodwicks. I was hoping the woodwicks would work out because I like the flickering flames for meditation, but c'est la vie.

- Let’s return to our market and geopolitical analysis:

- The markets don’t know if we’re going to war with Iran or not. Some people are saying that the war will happen this week. Other people are saying that it’s going to be next month, as the second aircraft carrier needs time to enter the region. The normies are jumping back into tech stocks, but also buying oil and gold. If war breaks out, gold and oil will moon. If nothing happens, tech will likely benefit as everyone pours back into the AI bubble.

- Please note that nobody is betting on recession, only the status quo (tech) or massive inflation due to money printing and war (oil and gold).

- In geopolitics, Russia and China have announced more “naval drills” off the coast of Iran. Also, there is a scheduled meeting in April between Trump and Xi, and apparently, an arms deal to Taiwan is being put on hold to use as leverage with China. I think whatever happens in Iran will determine how the April meeting with Xi goes, for what it's worth.

- None of the other wars matters right now. I know the US is supremely cocky, but they were cocky in 2023 when they launched the Ukrainian counteroffensive, which proceeded to get destroyed, and that was 3 years ago. Russia and China have become stronger since then, they’ve shared their military tech with Iran beause hey have every incentive to. This is Russia and China’s chance to use a proxy (Iran) to directly damage the US, the way the US has used proxies (Ukraine/Taiwan) to damage Russia and China. It’s the perfect opportunity for Russia/China to test their systems directly against the US for which they were created for.

- If Iran fucks America’s shit up, all the wars around the world will fizzle out, and it’ll be over. For anyone thinking that Iran is doomed, Iran WON the 12-day war against Israel last year, and simply played along with the US to get a ceasefire hoping that it would be the end of “regime change” bullshit, but now that it’s clear that Israel will never leave them alone, Iran has no reason to make a deal or agree to another ceasefire.

- The US will use its stealth bombers first. If those are shot down due to China’s new radar technology, the US may use “tactical nukes”. The US has stated today that there is no “gentlemen’s agreement” with Russia to comply with nuclear treaties now that they’ve been allowed to expire. I know Halsey scoffed at the US using nukes, but if the stealth bombers don’t work, nukes are the only card they have to play; they have to admit defeat, and not just against Iran, but EVERYWHERE.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/no-gentlemens-agreement-russia-continue-compliance-new-start-treaty-top-official

- Lastly, Trump does not have Congress’s permission to go to war with Iran. If Iran fucks the US military up, it’s the end of Trump. They’ll throw him under the bus and blame him for everything, and not unjustifiably so. A disappointing end to a disappointing orange.

- So the bottom line is that we’re still in the eternal “we’ll see” mode as we wait for the deciding battle between the Regime and BRICS. There are a lot of scenarios that could play out, but there’s no point really analyzing them because they more or less lead to the exact same outcome, which is hyperinflation and civil war.

- In today’s survival segment, I’m going to revisit a product I mentioned before because it’s 38% off on Amazon right now, currently under $30, and normally $45. This is a “tabletop fire pit” rocket stove that can be used to burn twigs, trash, or whatever to produce heat and cooking fuel. It’s small and portable, and nearly 40% off right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLNY6LTG

- Let’s now return to our empire collapsing, already in progress:

- There are only two issues worth paying attention to: Iran and Silver.
- Iran: The US is bringing over 1/3rd of its Navy to the Middle East to threaten Iran, and Iran’s IRGC claims that the US has staged nuclear weapons in Saudi Arabia. The message is clear: surrender or die, but this is ALWAYS what the Regime was going to do. If Iran cucks, then the exact same “surrender or die” scenario will play out all over BRICS until it's Russia and China’s turn to “surrender or die”. The US (and Israel) are starting these wars, and then threatening BRICS countries with nukes if they don’t let them win. Iran has been attacked multiple times by both the US and Israel, and BRICS will have to draw a line in the sand somewhere, and if that line isn’t drawn in Iran, BRICS will get weaker as its allies abandon it to avoid suffering the same fate as Iran, which will leave Russia and China isolated and vulnerable. I’ve been saying this was the plan since 2023, and nothing has changed.

- The plan appears to be to seize Iran’s oil tankers and try to disrupt their ability to trade and economically isolate them, similarly to what happened in Venezuela, but Iran isn’t going to tolerate that. However, the Regime is going to test Iran and see if they will actually attack because, remember, their goal isn’t to destroy Iran, but for them to “make a deal” and cuck. The US will need to be militarily defeated and embarrassed, or the wars will only spread and escalate. BRICS knows what they have to do, no excuses.

- The markets were closed today due to Presidents’ Day
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/markets-quiet-us-closed-presidents-day-and-china-away-new-year-newsquawk-eu-market-open

- Silver: Due to the Chinese New Year, silver is down to $76, which is a long way from $50, but we’ll see what happens after President’s Day. I’m hoping the Regime really crushes silver while China is on vacation, but if they don’t… oh well.

- The bottom line is that Iran isn’t going to surrender. Iran is willing to make a deal over their nuclear energy program, but it’s not disarming so that Israel can continue to attack it every 6 months. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. It’s up to Trump whether he wants to push the button or not.

- Today’s disaster/survival preparation equipment is a hand crank, a solar charging radio, flash light, a USB charger, and a lamp, all for less than $25. A lot of hand-crank radios are box-shaped (like radios) and have flashlights added on. The one I’m linking to is flashlight-shaped, with a radio added on. You need a flashlight for your car in case you break down at night, right? So why not get a flashlight that’s also a hand crank solar powered USB charging reading lamp and radio too? Other units are slightly cheaper, but they’re radio-shaped boxes, and I think the flashlight shape is more practical, but it doesn’t really matter which one you get. You should get this for the crank and solar charging alone, as you can use this to keep your smartphone alive in an emergency. https://www.amazon.com/Weather-3000mAh-Flashlight-Portable-Emergencies/dp/B0BC1G451Y

- Let’s return to our regular analysis:

- The Iran war is happening. There was some brief kayfabe where Trump pretended to stand up to Netanyahu and offer Iran a deal, but as I said on the show, this was the same fake deal he pulled with Hamas last year. Iran didn’t fall for it, and that plan was quickly memory-holed. Now the US and Israel are preparing to attack Iran again. The Pentagon is gaming out a “weeks-long” campaign to destroy Iran. No backing down now. Juden Vult!

- In the Ukraine War (remember that one?) Russia has taken over a dozen villages, which amounts to over 200 KM during February alone, but who cares? The Regime is about to die for Israel.
