But Wait . . . . There's More ! ! ! ! ANOTHER Two-Week Deadline for Iran ! ! ! !
June 15, All The Oil Stored Above-Ground Will Be Used-up
I don't know how this is all going to play out. Most normal people think "they'll work it out." But those normal people don't seem to recall the Georgia Guidestones wherein the elite carved into stone, that they want the world to have a population of only X number of people. If I recall, they said 500 Million, but just this morning I saw a number saying 2.6 Billion.
There are already 8.3 Billion people on earth. To reach either of their goals, 6 BILLION to 7.5 BILLION of us, have to die.
It's starting to appear to me that starving us to death is the way they intend to achieve those goals.
So . . . . to those normal folks who think "they'll work it out" . . . . it seems THEY ARE: By starving us to death. Making everything so expensive, we simply can't afford to live.
Get with that reality and prepare.
Buy shelf-stable foods that don't need refrigeration: Rice, pasta, canned meats and vegetables, jarred sauces. Plant gardens to grow food. It's Spring time, now is the time to start planting!
I wish I could tell you there's light at the end of the tunnel we've entered. It just doesn't seem to be.
I hope I'm wrong.
I WANT to be wrong.
I don't think I am.
I Warned Young People - Denninger
... but they don't listen, unfortunately.
The siren song is loud and hard to resist: Go to college. Take out loans. Ignore that the price has gone up at 5x the rate of inflation for the last couple of decades, and has been outpacing inflation since the 1980s. Its ok -- you'll get a good job and be able to pay it back.
Left out of this is why prices to go to college have accelerated when they should have fallen like a stone. For example, it used to be that computers were hideously expensive and information was in printed form thus a monstrously-large library (and printed copies of said material) were required. Neither is true today; you have more computing power in the palm of your hand than many large mainframes of 40 years ago and virtually everything ever discovered is available on said screen from anywhere on the planet at near-zero cost.
If you're in High School or planning to start college next year you can ignore all this, but if you do think about what happens if you're one of the 90% in this year's Bachelor's Class in CS who have no job offer and $100,000 worth of student loans.
If that's not enough to keep you up at night perhaps you're not smart enough to go to college in the first place.

What history teaches us about the Iran war?, by Hua Bin - The Unz Review
The central contention of the book Iran: 4,000 Years of History is the tenacity of “Iranianness” and the resilience of the Persian civilization.
Despite multiple conquests by Greeks, Arabs, Turks, and Mongols, the Persian people remained the protagonists of history; the conquerors were instead assimilated into Iranian culture.
The book also argues that geography determines destiny. Iran’s location on the “Eurasian land bridge” and “East-West aerial corridor” made it a contested ground since ancient times, shaping a history of both turbulence and resilience.
The book also emphasizes the entanglement of religion and politics is a time-honored feature of Iran. From Zoroastrianism to Shiite Islam, religion has always been a core variable in Iranian politics, as we can see today.
Put in the context of Iran’s 4,000-year history, the US Israel invasion is merely the latest foreign incursion into this geostrategic region.
It is also a strange clash of civilization/religion in modern times, which most of the world thought we have moved past. On one side is the Persian Civilization and Islamic faith; on the other side is the Zionist Judaism and New Evangelical Crusaders (Christian Zionists) embodied by the tattoo-covered US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
True to history, the Iranians have shown their traditional resilience and fortitude in the battle against foreign invaders.
In fact, Saddam Hussein’s attack on Iran in the 1980s, supported by the US, was far bloodier than the current USrael invasion. In that war, the Iranians held their ground and prevailed after heavy losses.
History is repeating itself.........

An Oligarchy of Old People - The Atlantic
Although political gerontocracy has operated overtly, the rising economic power of the elderly has escaped much notice. Over the past 40 or so years, American wealth has grown ever more concentrated among the oldest generations. In 1989, Americans over age 55 held 56 percent of it; today they hold 74 percent. During that same period, the share of wealth held by Americans under 40 has shrunk by nearly half, from 12 to 6.6 percent. The color of money is now gray.
Much of this shift is the result of demographic change: 18 percent of Americans are senior citizens today, up from 13 percent in 1990. But even at the household level, Americans over 55 have accrued wealth more rapidly than those who are younger. Among those 75 and older, the numbers are particularly striking. In 1983, their household net worth was only slightly above the national average; by 2022, it was 55 percent higher.
All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars: Iran and the Bankers’ Endgame - Global Research
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.” —Prof. Caroll Quigley, Georgetown University, Tragedy and Hope (1966)
In February 2026, the United States and Israel launched surprise airstrikes on Iran. The officially proffered reasons — preventing Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon and forestalling its aggression — have not held up under scrutiny. As James Corbett documented in recent Corbett Report episodes, the nuclear pretext appears to be recycled propaganda, and the scale and timing of the strikes raise deeper questions about motive.
The thesis that “All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars” was popularized by Michael Rivero in a 2013 documentary by that name. His accompanying article begins with a quote from Aristotle (384-322 BCE):
The most hated sort [of moneymaking], and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural use of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest.
Rivero then traces how private banking interests have financed and profited from conflicts on both sides for centuries — from the founding of the Bank of England in 1694 to fund William III’s wars to modern regime-change wars.
