- The ceasefire is basically over. The Strait of Hormuz is closed again, and Trump said the 10 points he agreed to are trash. The US tricked Iran into agreeing to a ceasefire so they can rearm, and Iran is playing along while only attacking Israel for some reason. The UAE attacked Iran, so the fighting didn’t stop. I’m concerned about Iran still moving forward with the planned negotiations in Pakistan despite the obvious bad faith of the US. I guess they need to be betrayed a third time in a row for some reason. I don’t think they’re cucking though, at least not yet.
source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/08/pakistan-us-israel-iran-ceasefire
- In Technocrat news, Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent are warning that Israel is controlling Trump and that Trump is leaving NATO to attack Turkey on behalf of Israel. Also, Trump threatened the Pope, like the actual Pope of the Catholic church. This is significant because, according to Kash Patel’s Mossad-assigned girlfriend, the Catholic church is somehow involved with the Technocrats in ways that I don’t fully understand, other than that they aren’t Zionists. Anyway, threatening the Pope wasn’t on my Bingo card. JD Vance is a Catholic, BTW, so the plot thickens regarding the Technocrats.
- There isn’t much else to talk about. I’m unsure what Iran is doing playing along with the negotiations. The markets rallied on the ceasefire for obvious reasons and are optimistic that the war is over, despite the missiles flying. The reason is simple: the markets don’t follow reality; they follow the TV. The TV says Trump won and Iran surrendered, so that’s why the market reacted. If the TV notifies the normies that Trump lied, then the markets will reverse. It’s actually shocking how blindly the markets continue to trust Trump after so many lies, but c’est la vie.
- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. Crypto
o 2. Industrials
o 3. Materials
o 4. Bitcoin
o 5. Information Technology
o 6. Consumer Discretionary
o 7. Financials
- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. Brent Crude Oil
o 3. WTI Crude Oil
o 4. Natural Gas
o 5. Broad Commodities
o 6. Energy
o 7. The US Dollar
- I’m not sure why I’m even mentioning the markets since they’re just being manipulated by Trump’s lies and bullshit.
- So the bottom line is that Trump lied and tricked Iran into agreeing to a ceasefire, and he’s not doing anything he promised, so I don’t know what Iran is waiting for. Why are they playing along with this? They’re giving the impression that they’re cucking, but why would they do that when they were winning? Am I missing something? I’m seeing a lot of theories floating around social media, ranging from a tactical consideration to betrayal by government insiders. We’ll just have to see what happens.

Monkey’s Market Minute: April 7th, 2026
Tonight’s the night. The Regime is running out of missiles globally, and they’re launching their big attack. The ground invasion will almost certainly coincide with the bombing campaign. If the dust settles and Iran stands, I expect nukes to be used. No point talking about anything else, including the markets, because everything will be decided on the battlefield.
However, since I don’t want you to feel like I’m being lazy tonight, let’s talk about MeshCore/Meshtastic. These are technologies that allow you to use your smartphone to send and receive text messages without a network. Each device acts as a repeater, so the more people on the network, the faster and longer the range it is. It can’t be shut down by the government because there is no central hub; the entire network is distributed. The Regime promoted this technology for Iranian protestors earlier this year to get around Iran shutting the internet down during the coup attempt. That’s how powerful this technology is, and it’s not expensive. The apps are free, just search for “MeshCore” or “Meshtastic” in the app store. Those are two different networks with pros and cons, but we’ll talk about that later.
As far as hardware, a basic unit costs about $20 if you want to DIY it yourself and flash the drive. If you want a ready-made solution that works out of the box, it’s about $30. The unit I’m linking to is a two-pack for $65. Why two units? Well, you can keep one in your house and one in your car, or you could flash one for MeshCore and one for Meshtastic so that you have access to both networks. It’s up to you.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F1CYWVLC
MeshCore/Meshtastic has its own community similar to ham radio operators, but they’re great not only for disaster preparation but if you’re an outdoor guy and like to camp in places where your cellphone doesn’t get good service, MeshCore/Meshtastic can be more reliable than a cellphone provider, and unlike something like Starlink, the units are small, cheap, and have no fees. You are the network.
The main difference between Meshtastic and MeshCore is how the traffic is forwarded. MeshCore is a newer and more reliable technology, so if you’re starting a network from scratch, go with MeshCore. However, Meshtastic has a lot of large established networks due to it being an older protocol, so if you’re looking to join a larger and more established network so that your devices have a longer range, Meshtastic might be better. Again, you can have both if you get the two-pack and install MeshCore on one device and Meshtastic on the other. Then you can switch between the two apps on your phone and use the one that works for you at that time.
MeshCore and Meshtastic may not be appropriate for everyone. If you’re going to be a wasteland warlord or operate in only a small group, a walkie-talkie might be all you need. However, walkie-talkies don’t scale well to larger organizations, which is where these other technologies fit in. There are lots of YouTube channels dedicated to the MeshCore/Meshtasic hobby and community, but you don’t have to become an expert to get started and have your communications infrastructure in place. Being able to communicate with your loved ones in an emergency when cell service is offline is priceless.
That’s all I’m going to talk about tonight. There’s no point talking about the markets or anything because it’s all going to be decided on the battlefield. See you tomorrow!

- I’ll be taking a break from the prep segment until I see something worth sharing. It won’t be a daily segment any longer, but more of a “here’s something I found that’s interesting that I haven’t mentioned before” thing.
- Supposedly Trump is going to destroy all the energy infrastructure in Iran in 24 hours, after which Iran will make the Middle East uninhabitable, even for Israel. I fully expect Trump to declare another round of negotiations and delay the promised attack until Friday, but we’ll see.
source: https://x.com/Phoxotic/status/2040960218071285799
- The plane that was shot down was resolved. According to western media, the pilot was saved and the planes that were destroyed weren’t shot down but were “stuck in sand” and the US blew them up themselves to prevent them from being captured. However, Iran has pictures of bodies in the planes, which wouldn’t make sense if they were stuck in sand and abandoned. It doesn’t really matter as the details of the rescue change literally nothing.

- Iran released a video showing the new supreme leader in front of a monitor in an operations room with an image of Israel’s Demona nuclear facility and its coordinates, obviously as a warning that if Trump attacks their energy, they’re going to take out Demona.
source: https://x.com/realgerhardtvdm/status/2040967513471844629
- Ground invasion soon maybe? We’ll see.
- As far as the markets go, oil is around $110 The markets will likely be down as Trump seems to have given up trying to lie about the war being over since nobody believes him anyway.
- The bottom line is we’re still waiting on the ground invasion.

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 am actually running out of stuff to recommend that we haven’t already covered. Like I’ve said, it doesn’t take THAT much money to have a full disaster prep kit. The big ticket items like generators are obvious, but most disaster prep isn’t about having a $1,000 generator; it’s about having a little extra and knowing how to make it last and function without electricity. So in the spirit of that, for today I want to recommend the jar opener I use, which may be interesting to you because I have arthritis and have wasted more money than I want to admit buying jar openers that don’t work. This is the jar opening I use, and no, it doesn’t use electricity. It screws underneath a cabinet, and you just stick the jar into the teeth and turn it with both hands. It works way better than any other jar opener I’ve tried, and it’s not expensive. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09R8HBFQ9
- Let’s return to our regular analysis:
- Not much happened today in the Iran War. Pete Hegseth is firing a bunch of top generals who are warning him not to launch a ground invasion of Iran. He’s fired the Army Chief of Staff, two additional top generals, and the Army Chaplain of all people. It’s a really bad sign when your generals are telling you not to do something and that it’s suicide, and instead of listening to them, you fire them. I’m sure this is going to work out swimmingly.
source: https://x.com/OCOCReport/status/2039840624048828713 , https://x.com/disclosetv/status/2039866517311955062 , https://x.com/RT_com/status/2039881185556394027
- Still no idea when the ground invasion is going to happen. The smart money is this weekend, but who knows? With generals being fired, the military might be on the verge of mutiny. This is a very good sign for America’s future. It means that when the “moment of truth” happens, perhaps the military will actually do the right thing. I’m not saying the odds are favorable, but it’s possible.
- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. WTI Crude Oil
o 2. Brent Crude Oil
o 3. Broad Commodities
o 4. Real Estate
o 5. Bonds
o 6. Information Technology
o 7. Energy
- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. The VIX
o 2. Gold
o 3. Bitcoin
o 4. Consumer Discretionary
o 5. Natural Gas
o 6. Healthcare
o 7. Industrials
- Trump didn’t even try to prop the markets up today. They’re preparing for the ground invasion, and Trump is even saying that he’s going to cut welfare spending next year to increase the military budget, pretty much writing the Democrats’ campaign ads for them. He sacrificed everything for Israel and still lost. I hope the underage girls you fucked on that island were worth it.
- So the bottom line is that nothing happened today, and we’re still waiting on the big ground offensive to happen so we can move on to see if Israel launches nukes or if Trump is removed and JD Vance becomes President. Those are the two most likely scenarios based on my estimation. Be aware that I can’t see the future, and maybe they do something stupid that I didn’t consider, so don’t go betting on Polymarket and be mad at me if you lose money.
- Everyone got their nickels? You might want to get your nickels.

- In today’s prep segment, I have an accessory for your mason jars, and that’s an electric vacuum sealer. If you use a vacuum sealer, you can use mason jars to dry pack things without using oxygen absorbers, which allows you to store dry goods long-term. This unit is electric, and while there are manual vacuum sealers, they cost 4X as much, and it’s not really worth it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0GQ96RFN1
- Let’s return to our regular analysis:
- Not much to talk about since the show, unfortunately. Trump’s big announcement was that he’s going to send Iran “back to the stone age” over the next couple of weeks and essentially destroy everything, and Iran will do the same to Israel, so what’s changed? Nothing. No update regarding the ground offensive. Some people were expecting Trump to announce the war is over and call it quits, but he just continued to make threats and pout. This was after he lied his ass off about Iran begging for a ceasefire this morning. The markets crashed over Trump’s comments because they apparently thought Trump was finally going to TACO and end the war.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/uae-poised-join-anti-iran-operations-trump-rips-nato-paper-tiger-says-exit-beyond
- So we’re back to “we’ll see” apparently. While Trump decides when he’s going to launch the ground invasion, Iran will continue to spit-roast Israel with Hezbollah and the Houthis, so it’s not all bad.
- The markets are still fake and gay and will continue to be so until the government comes clean. The normies will just follow the TV, and the numbers will move based on whatever lie Trump says that day. It’s not even worth following until the war becomes more obvious to the average investor.
- Lastly, the Claude AI leak I reported on the show was apparently an elaborate April Fools' joke, and the code wasn’t leaked. The AI bubble is still fucked, and the RAM story involving OpenAI was real, but the Claude story wasn’t. I apologize for misleading you. I do my best, but nobody’s perfect.
- The bottom line is that nothing has changed. We’re waiting for the ground invasion and watching Iran and Israel fire missiles at each other. Fun times.

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’m once again searching for stuff on sale during Amazon’s Spring Sale, and I found a medical toolbox. I haven’t mentioned first aid kits before because most of them just contain bandages and some basic medication. You can just take an old backpack and put medical supplies in it, and it’ll be better and cheaper than most commercial first aid kits. However, this thing is more like a toolbox with different compartments to keep different materials separate. In fact, you could probably use a toolbox or a crafting box, but this one is white and feels more like a first aid kit than a repurposed tool or craft box would, and it’s on sale. It’s a good idea to keep all your medical supplies together so that you know what you have and know what you’re low on. Keep your bandages in one section, your medicines in another, your ointments and gels in another. 25% off, normally $40, on sale for $30. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FLN6D2FX
- Let’s return to our regular analysis:
- The US dropped a tactical nuke on Iran’s missile city in Isfahan. The explosion is massive, but it’s unclear if it penetrated the mountain and destroyed the missile city. The explosion could be the missiles exploding within the city or the tactical nuke itself. Now that the Regime has used nukes, things are going to get spicy. The Regime has signaled to Russia and China that if you checkmate them and they can’t win, they’ll use nukes, and that will simply not stand. This just happened, so there has been no response yet.
source: https://x.com/A_G_L_G/status/2038770320304148625
- The ground invasion is still being prepared. It’s looking like it’s only about 10,000 or so troops, not 50,000, but this is likely intentional misinformation/propaganda. I expect the actual force to be closer to 50,000
- Regarding the markets, I was wondering what Trump was going to do to prop the markets up for another week since nobody believes his bullshit any longer, and the answer is that he threatened to destroy Iran and kill everyone in it, which caused the market to dump. Obviously, Iran didn’t surrender, and now the US is dropping tactical nukes. I wasn’t expecting the nukes to drop until after the ground invasion failed, but I guess we’re going to lead with the nukes and hope that Russia and China don’t say anything.
source: https://x.com/JesseBWatters/status/2038773832002023826 , https://www.rt.com/news/636737-trump-iran-more-threats/
- Sorry, I don’t have more information, but the Isfahan explosion happened an hour ago, and there's nothing in the media right now about it. Those weren’t just bunker busters. We’ve been hitting the missile cities with bunker busters all month, and they haven’t done shit. It will actually be interesting to see if they actually destroyed the missile city, or if the massive explosion was just from the tactical nuke itself, and didn’t even penetrate deep enough. These missile cities are 200 meters deep into a solid mountain, which is more or less the length of two football fields, but again, this just happened, so we don’t know if the massive explosion was merely a surface explosion or not.
- The winners in the market today were:
o 1. WTI Crude Oil
o 2. Brent Crude Oil
o 3. Bonds
o 4. Financials
o 5. Bitcoin
o 6. Broad Commodities
o 7. Utilities
- The losers in the market today were:
o 1. Natural Gas
o 2. Crypto
o 3. Information Technology
o 4. Industrials
o 5. The VIX
o 6. Energy
o 7. Agriculture Commodities
- The markets are excited by the prospect of more money printing and stimulus. They believe the crash is cancelled and we’re just going to “money printer go brrrr” straight into hyperinflation with no brakes. Maybe they’re right, who knows? With the Middle East on fire and oil heading to $200 a barrel, there’s no way in hell we avoid a recession, even with all the manipulation, so the markets can only bet based on whether or not the government allows a crash before they fire up the money printer, or if they go straight to the money printer, bypass the recession, and go straight to stimulus and bailouts. If that happens, there’s nothing to invest in, just buy commodities, and since the futures market is broken, that means metals, since they’re the only commodity you can physically hold, which isn’t subject to market manipulation. Then we just wait for the hyperinflation.

- Anyway, the ground invasion will likely happen tomorrow. There have been over 1,000 strikes in the last 24 hours in Iran, which is the MO for preparation of a ground invasion. They’re hoping to hit as much as possible so that they’re too busy dealing with the damage to defend themselves from the ground invasion. There is also a big announcement scheduled for tomorrow at 8 am by the “Department of War”, so my hunch is that it’s happening now. So here we go.
source: https://x.com/FinanceLancelot/status/2038756241468436969
- So the bottom line is that a lot just happened and may be happening shortly, and we’re just going to have to wait and see how it plays out. Using tactical nukes was unexpected, but what does the Regime have to lose at this point? I don’t see Iran cucking, and the Regime can’t defeat Iran with the 50,000 troops they have gathered, so to those about to die, we salute you.

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 want to revisit some stuff that’s on sale right now during Amazon’s Spring Sale. I’m linking to a pair of night vision goggles that also function as a camera. You can attach it to a tripod and set it up for perimeter defense, or hold it in your hands and use it like a normal pair of goggles that can see in the dark. It’s normally $90, but currently 44% and available for $50. https://www.amazon.com/Night-Vision-Goggles-Adults-Binoculars/dp/B0FVCTR45Y
- Let’s return to our normal analysis:
- The spit-roasting of Israel continued today. The ground invasion is being prepared, but the issue is that I don’t think they know how they’re going to get the troops to Iran without taking missile fire. Flying a bomber to blow up a school and moving thousands of troops into position for a ground invasion are not the same thing.
- The Marines are preparing for their assault on Iranian islands to supposedly “open the Strait of Hormuz”, but the reason the Strait is “closed” is because Iran can shoot missiles at ships that try to go through without permission. They aren’t physically blocking anything, so landing troops on some islands changes nothing unless you can stop the missile attacks, which would require a full invasion of Iran. I am certain that the Marines are a distraction. I originally thought the Regime would use the Arabs as a distraction, but the Arabs have cucked out, so the Marines will be the distraction while the 82nd airborne, Rangers, Delta Force, etc., are all parachuted into Iran to conquer or die. That will be the final battle. SOCOM has about 20,000 operators. The 82nd has around 15,000 to 18,000 paratroopers. The number will be about 50,000 total, which is more or less what the original estimate was. These soldiers will not be replaced once they are lost.
- Also, since the US/Israel have begun attacking Iranian civilians, Iran gave them 24 hours to condemn Israel and hold them accountable for attacking civilians, or else Iran would begin retaliations. The Regime ignored the warning, and so the IRGC said they would begin targeting the residences of politicians in the region, and not just military targets. I’m sure the media is going to play their violin about how Iran attacked these innocent people and ignore the part that they attacked Iranian civilians first.
source: https://x.com/DD_Geopolitics/status/2038350202604843252
- As far as the markets go, they’re going to continue to be propped up using whatever contrivances the government can come up with. Everyone knows they’re lying, but they can’t stop lying. The ground invasion will decide everything.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/green-dot-sunday-non-negotiable-oil-stocks-down-war-begins-2nd-month , https://x.com/MyLordBebo/status/2038360363406684595
- Finally, as per the New York Times, the US is going to allow Russia to break the American blockade of Cuba and bring oil to Cuba without any interference. The future of Cuba will also be determined by the outcome of the ground invasion of Iran.
source: https://x.com/nytimes/status/2038367992715559000
- So the bottom line is that we’re waiting on the big battle, which will decide everything. I don’t see how logistically the US defeats Iran, a country the size of Western Europe with a population 1/3rd that of the US, with a million-man army, with 50,000 special forces. Seizing an island won’t stop the missiles at all. This is suicide. After that, we’ll see what Israel’s next move is, which will probably be nukes.

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, Amazon is having a Spring sale, and solar generators are on sale. The one I’m linking to is a Jackery unit with a 200W solar panel for under $700, normally $1,300. A solar generator is more of a “nice to have” instead of a “need to have, but they’re on sale right now, so if you’ve got the money, you can save several hundred dollars right now. https://www.amazon.com/Jackery-Generator-Portable-Off-Grid-Emergency/dp/B0D2L1G66J
- Let’s return to our normal analysis:
- TLDR: we’re still waiting on the ground offensive. The markets crashed, so Trump announced a 10-day pause due to “ongoing talks” that aren’t happening. The normies are finally realizing that Trump is full of shit and just making stuff up to prop the market up, and oil prices swiftly recovered despite Trump’s lies about a 10-day pause. Has the Orange Boy who cried wolf learned a valuable lesson about lying?
- Supposedly, Trump needs more time to get another 10,000 troops, but another 10,000 troops isn’t going to make a difference, and with air defenses depleted, they need to act sooner rather than later, so I still expect the ground invasion to happen this weekend. Trump is trying to lazily misdirect his obviously telegraphed move by pretending to wait.
- The markets aren’t buying the lies any longer, but Trump made it to Thursday, so close and yet so far. Tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath financially, and the weekend is going to be a bloodbath literally. Again, Trump's delay of the ground operation makes no sense because the markets are crashing, and Israel is being hammered by missiles due to the lack of air defenses.
- As I said during the show, if the ground offensive goes as badly as I expect, I anticipate Israel to nuke Iran and for the US to call a global summit to avoid nuclear war. This allows the Regime to avoid admitting defeat by Iran while still settling things with Russia and China.
- Alternatively, if Trump tries to call a draft or double down on the war after the failed ground operation, I expect the Technocrats to have Trump removed and install JD Vance as President. They will throw Israel entirely under the bus (which is fully justified BTW) and take control of the Regime in an attempt to keep it from collapsing entirely.
- We’ll see what fresh lies Trump comes up with tomorrow to try to prop the markets up one more day. Today, the White House posted a bunch of digitized images just to distract people. They’re completely fucked and out of options.
- I’m not posting market rankings or articles because the media is in damage control mode, even Zero Hedge is running propaganda. The Regime is losing its shit right now. Next up is the ground invasion, and then the nukes; either way, it’ll be over soon, and then we can get back to the stagflationary depression, hyperinflation, and civil war.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DL4H1KF2
- 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.

- 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.

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, 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.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-floats-joint-oil-investment-sanctions-rollback-wish-list-ahead-next-us-talks , https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/white-house-ready-offer-iran-token-nuclear-enrichment-instead-all-out-war
- 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.

- In today’s survival/disaster prep segment, let’s keep things simple and obvious. You need three hand tools: a knife, an axe, and a shovel. Do not get one of those “survival knives” that have a hollow handle with some fishing line and matches in it. It sounds like a good idea, but you need a full-tang knife where the blade and handle are one piece of metal. If you get one of these hollow-handle knives, the blade will snap at the connection point of the storage handle. A regular shovel works; don’t go for fancy stuff. You need tools that are sturdy and reliable. You can replace the axe with a hatchet and the shovel with an entrenchment tool if you want to stay light and mobile, or just pack a regular ass axe and shovel if you’re staying put, but a good knife is a necessity. Don’t get a giant scary knife. Get a well-balanced full-tang knife that is comfortable in your hands. Lighter is better as long as it’s sturdy. Lastly, have tools to keep your blades sharp and to repair tools. A blunted knife or axe is useless. Here is a link to a basic camping kit of a camping axe (hatchet), entrenchment tool, and full tang knife (and flint to keep it sharp), all for $80: https://www.amazon.com/SOG-Ultimate-Camping-Kit-Entrenching/dp/B0F74P54C8
- Let’s return to our market and geopolitical analysis, such as it is:
- There isn’t much in the way of updates. We already talked about the jobs numbers on the show, and the markets are responding negatively because it could mean that the FED doesn’t cut rates because the job numbers are so good, so there’s no reason to stimulate. Of course, this is nonsense. The job numbers are fake, and the government needs rate cuts, so they will happen, but the day traders don’t understand what’s going on behind the scenes. They’re just responding to “indicators” and following charts.

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.
- Before we talk about today’s survival preparation segment, I have seen people pointing out my “argument” with Revy, who has van life’d for years and who disagrees with me about what equipment to buy. He favors camping gear for mobility, while I favor homestead equipment for community. Some people said I was wrong, and I should defer to Revy, but it depends on your situation. I’m in my 40s, and I have arthritis. My dreams of being a Wasteland Warlord died, and I have to make peace with the fact that my best days are behind me. If you’re young and you want to be Billy Badass, by all means, prioritize mobility and personal utility by leaning heavily towards camping and tactical equipment, but I’m leaning towards community because I can’t be Billy Badass with rheumatoid arthritis in my 40s. Keep that in mind as I talk about these segments that I’m prioritizing homesteading/community and not mobility/badassery.
- So far, we’ve covered fuel, water, and heat. Now let’s talk about food, specifically how to preserve food without power or refrigeration, and that’s where canning comes in. You’re going to need mason jars … lots and lots of mason jars, and the good news is that mason jars are incredibly cheap and versatile. The basics of canning are pretty simple: You use acidity and heat to kill bacteria and preserve food at room temperature. Fruits become jams and jellies, vegetables become sauces and pickles, and you can even preserve meat with canning. You can combine canning with a garden or small farm, and you’ve got a renewable source of food and tradable goods that won’t just keep you alive for 6 months or a year, but can scale and feed an entire community.
- All the materials you need to learn are cheap and versatile. You can use mason jars for infinite storage solutions. If you need a container for literally anything, there’s a mason jar for that, and they’re stylish and practical. There are also a lot of lids with bespoke uses that are compatible with any mason jar of the same size, turning these simple jars into tools. There is an entire culture around canning and mason jars, and for good reason. If you eat any of the following foods, you should learn canning and make these yourself:
o Salsa
o Tomato Sauce
o Pickled vegetables
o Jams/Jellies
o Beef Stew
o Applesauce
o Canned meat (including chicken, fish, beef, and pork)
o Soups/Stocks
- not only to save money and hone your skills, but also because they’ll be fresher and more nutritious without all the chemicals and preservatives that industrial companies use. There is no downside. You need to learn these skills so you can maintain a steady food supply. It will save you money and pay for itself, and it will make you a valuable member of whatever community you find yourself in should the worst happen.
- In addition to pickling, there are kits for using mason jars for fermentation: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0714PZ8DL, which is a separate process, but be aware that fermented vegetables require refrigeration, so pickling is better for emergency supplies instead of fermentation, but you can do both, and as I said, mason jars are absurdly versatile. You will need to get some books with “recipes” so you know exactly how much water, salt, vinegar, etc. to use to make various dishes safetly, and you’ll need a scale to measure out these ingredients, but once you get the hang of it, you will never have to worry about surviving on your dehydrated beans and rice alone like a lot of preppers plan on doing. Here is a book from Ball, which is the mason jar brand I got from Walmart, with a complete guide for canning and preserving: https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Complete-Book-Home-Preserving/dp/0778805107
- As a final note, I know that the products you can make using canning and mason jars are not expensive at all, and you wouldn’t be saving THAT much money, but I strongly suggest you at least learn the ropes and make a few things that you regularly eat just to learn the process and be comfortable with it so that if there is an emergency, the supply chains are cut, the grocery stores are empty, and there is no power or refrigeration, you can make these staple foods yourself.
- Silver in Shanghai was selling for $135.73, a 67.29% premium over the paper price of the COMEX, and metal has begun moving from West to East, closing the arbitrage to less than $20 by the end of the day. As metals begin leaving Western markets for the Shanghai market, Western industries are going to scream until Trump imposes export controls, and he’ll have to increase mining output to meet domestic demand. Hang on to your butts.

- Despite the volatility, Wall Street is bullish on metals, and so am I. The only thing that will reverse the inflation and prevent the stagflation is if the government stops printing money and ends the wars, which isn’t going to happen voluntarily.

- Bitcoin shit the bed today, all crypto did. Everyone is shorting everything as if the world is ending because we’re about to attack Iran and trigger WW3 for Israel.
source: https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/bitcoin-price-today-slips-to-77k-near-10mth-low-amid-liquidations-fed-caution-4477764
- There is a rumor that Israel is preparing to nuke Iran since they can’t win any other way, but they’re worried that there might be consequences and that they might be nuked back (hint: they will). This is causing Israel to panic a bit because they never expected Iran and China/Russia to call their bluff. Their entire retarded plan was to just attack and overthrow, and they seriously expected everyone to do nothing and let it happen because they’re pussies. That cope should have already died with Iran, Russia, and China didn’t cuck, but I don’t see the Regime admitting it’s over and taking the L, so they will probably nuke Iran.
source: https://merovingian.club/web/@Terry@poa.st/115997695418448206
- So the bottom line is that, like I said on the show, Iran calling the Regime’s bluff, and Russia and China sending their navies, means the Regime has lost. Their only path to victory was for Russia and China to endlessly cuck and let them do what they wanted to avoid war. Now the Regime has one final choice to make: They can launch their nukes out of spite in an “If I can’t have it, no one can” final move, or they can accept that it’s over and stop. Right now, the Regime doesn’t want to accept that it’s over and will try to continue to stall rather than negotiate, but now that their bluff has been called, there are no roads that lead to victory, only defeat or mutual annihilation.
source: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-concedes-iran-seriously-talking-us-ayatollah-says-we-dont-seek-attack-any
- If Israel nukes Iran, that might be the quickest solution to a lot of our problems. Israel will be destroyed, the Muslim world will be destroyed, and many major cities throughout the West will be nuked via the Samson Option, and all the shitlibs and immigrants will be killed because they all live in the cities. So no matter what, things are going to be alright.

- Israel is telegraphing that the attack on Iran could happen at any minute. The aircraft carrier has arrived in the Middle East, and Israel is reporting that all preparations are complete for the attack to begin. This is extremely strange behavior from Israel. They’ve always relied on the element of surprise before. They launched the attack on Iran 7 months ago under the guise of diplomacy, killing several VIPs in a surprise attack. Then they launched a coordinated attack on the Iranian currency in December, and infilatrated he protests to kick off a coup attempt, claiming that the US military would respond, only for nothing ot happen after Iran killed their agent’s Starlink access. Now, with all their assets terminated, and with no element of surprise, Israel is simply announcing that it’s going to attack Iran right in the open. Are they hoping for Iran to beg for negotiations or cuck? Are they trying to get Iran to shoot first so they can claim to be acting in self-defence?

- Nothing is happening in the markets. The Greenland “deal” has lifted market sentiment, but metals are still going up.

- The normies think that the only risk was tariffs on Europe over Greenland, the poor fools.
- So the bottom line is that Iran has the full backing of Russia and China, and they have every incentive to give Iran their full support to fuck up the US as much as possible because it allows them to test their best weapons against the US with clean hands. The idea that nobody cares about Iran, Russia, and China is scared of the US is a cope. However, the US will attack Iran because “Juden Vult!” This could easily be where the Regime truly dies. Everything will be decided on the battlefield. Let’s watch the invincible US military in action against an enemy that won’t take a bribe to let them win. If Trump calls for negotiations, it’s a feint for a surprise attack, and Iran knows this. They’re just waiting for the shooting to start.

- The markets rallied today on Trump ruling out war with Europe over Greenland, as if that was ever a real possibility.

- There was an article today on ZeroHedge about the stock market not being a market anymore, but a political control mechanism. Good to see the mainstream media catching up to what I’ve been saying for several years now.

o Everything else was up
- A solid day with everything up, especially commodities. Very rare.
- In geopolitical news, the details of Trump’s Greenland deal are apparently coming in, and it’s not a full annexation, but simply the US being given some land to build military bases on, which they already had permission to do under NATO, so Trump cucked. The Europeans having the US bond market by the balls worked. This could also strongly imply that the US is going to continue to fund NATO and keep Europe from having to pay for its own military for the foreseeable future because Trump can’t afford for the Europeans to dump their bonds and crash the financial system. This is good and bad depending on how you look at it. Trump SHOULD abandon NATO and consolidate in the Americas, but Europe’s control of the bond market is forcing Trump to keep the Regime spread out, where it is vulnerable. The story of Rome playing out again before our eyes.

- No updates regarding Iran at this time. The media is still trying to keep the “Iranian Holocaust” narrative alive with stories of the government killing innocent protestors to justify a war to stop the latest reincarnation of Hitler. It’s just further proof that we’re going to attack Iran, and despite underestimating Iran twice, they’re going to go for it again, and of course, Russia and China will just sit back and do nothing because they’re pussies. The same brilliant minds behind that plan were confident that their terrorist cells were going to overthrow the government a week or so ago.
source: https://www.reuters.com/world/iran-deaths-went-beyond-protesters-hitting-bystanders-too-witnesses-say-2026-01-21/ , https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/world/middleeast/iran-protests-crushed.html , https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0r4957rq8ro
- So the bottom line is that Trump cucking on Greenland and caving to the EU is good for Europe, but bad for the Regime in the long run, as they’re forced to remain spread out and vulnerable. They will also be going to war with Iran in the near future for no reason other than Israel wills it. There’s no point speculating about the outcome as we’ll just have to wait and see what happens when the missiles start flying. Will Halsey be right, and Iran will be crushed easily, while nobody does anything or cares? The eternal “we’ll see” is once again invoked. However, Russia is already preparing for war with NATO, so the idea that they would do nothing and let a major ally fall would only weaken them and strengthen the Regime. The idea that Russia and China are afraid of the US is cope. They know they’re winning and would prefer to avoid a direct war and “run out the clock”, but they’re not going to sit around as the US attacks their allies, especially in Asia, in their own backyard. Since Iran isn’t going to take a bribe and let the US win, it’s probably going to go very badly for the US, but again, we’ll see.

- The markets were closed today, but Bitcoin was flat, losing a bit, but gaining a bit and closing flat. With silver making headlines, Bitcoin needs to do something soon, or the normies will begin the final crash. I warned you that what would kill Bitcoin isn’t economic fundamentals or understanding of intrinsic value, but a newer “get rich quick scheme”.

- The only geopolitical news to report is that Canada is thinking about joining Europe and defending Greenland from the US, but it’s all performative. Europe is dependent on the US, and Canada even moreso than Europe. They will do whatever the US says, but liked to pretend they are partners instead of vassals. Trump is simply pulling back the curtain and exposing them as the powerless vassals they are. Nobody is going to stop Trump from taking Greenland. The only thing Europe and Canada can do is crash the US bond market out of spite.

- Perhaps related to Greenland, the end of NATO, and the end of their global power, European leaders are suddenly talking about diplomacy with Russia. All of a sudden, Russia isn’t so bad now that America is invading and stealing their land. Funny how that works, huh? I don’t think Europe will join BRICS or anything. They might try to remain neutral and do business with both, but they’ll be globally irrelevant soon, regardless.

- The bottom line is that nothing has changed since yesterday, and the markets were closed due to MLK Day, so it’s whatever. We’re still waiting for the next shoe to drop, either in Iran, Greenland, or the Caribbean.
