US/Israeli War Plot Sickens

United States president Donald Trump has proclaimed that Iran has forty-eight hours (from March 21st) to surrender to the US and open the Strait of Hormuz…. “or else..” Trump is projecting, because Trump has a limited time before US markets, ie Wall Street open, and Treasury Secretary Bessent just announced that the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) is out of bullets. Meaning that the US Treasury can no longer support and game Wall Street and the oil/gas markets via the ESF, to the same extent that the Fund has been doing. And the Bank for International Settlements just sent a virtual shot over the US Treasury/Fed bow, where Switzerland formally stated that it does not support the US/Israeli war of choice versus Iran.

In other words, when markets open on Monday, March 23rd, if the ESF loses control to the downside, then a Wall Street crash is more likely than at any time since the failure of Primary Dealer Lehman Brothers in September of 2008. Since the collapse of the western financial system during 2008-2009, Wall Street has implemented market controls to halt the market for a period of time, if publicly traded S & P futures fall beyond a market-derived percentage, based on previous trading session history. So much for ‘free markets’ — there are none.

Of course the United States is only about Wall Street and the US dollar, and nothing else, so in the event of a Wall Street market stoppage of any length on Monday the 23rd or subsequently, and oil spot moving much higher, the pressure on DC politicians, Tel Aviv, and Trump to end this war of choice will be enormous.

[It’s interesting to note that Iran now demands that tankers and bulk carrier ships traversing the Strait must settle their cargo contracts in yuan, which pressures the Gulf Sheikhdoms immensely as well, to abandon Federal Reserve debt and notes in favour of yuan…. will they do it?]

Adjunct to that, Trump says he will destroy Iran’s energy infrastructure if Iran does not play ball with the US. Iran has responded, stating that it will attack infrastructure in the neighboring Gulf Fiefdoms, if the United States does that. Who will blink first? As I wrote about with regard to brinkmanship yesterday, it appears that Iran is holding the most valuable cards for now.

In other news, Iran carried out an effective attack on Israel’s Dimona nuclear outpost, targeting nuclear scientists living in a settlement about fifty kilometers from the Dimona nuclear reactor. Iran thus demonstrated that they may effectively hit the Dimona reactor, if retaliation so demands. And since Israel refuses to admit its possession of nuclear weapons, I’d advise Iran to attack the Dimona reactor directly, since Israel and the US attacked Nantanz and Bushehr.

Iran also struck Arad in Israel, where Elbit Systems produces terror drones. The damage to the Elbit installation is of course classified by Israel’s censors. However in a rare admission by the major media, Israel i24 states that a few people died, but the true number is likely far higher… and they do not appear to be factory workers.

Videos leaked beyond Shin Bet/shabak’s iron jack boot show actual verified severe damage in Arad. Even so, the videos I’ve seen show damaged residences only, and not Elbit factory buildings. Netanyahu has stated in writing that the Elbit/ Arad deaths “are very sad” however he has not appeared publicly on camera to condemn the attack at this time, to my knowledge.

Meanwhile, at this time, Israel has promised to retaliate militarily versus Tehran and Iranian targets today the 22nd of march. It is unclear whether Israel is carrying out those attacks on Iran right now. Russia and China of course warn that the situation is out of control, that this war is illegal by all international law. Of course the Russian and Chinese leadership need time to consider new moves on the board, in what effectively has become a very devilish new game. [1]

On the 21st of March, Israel (sort of) admitted that it lost an F16 over central Iran – but not really.  Unverified Iranian military videos I have seen — supposedly of the F16 incident — show an F16 jet that was totally destroyed by (ground-to-air) air defense. Overall, just as the entity has claimed via i24 (Israeli news channel) that the regime has prepared for this war for many years, it appears that, so far and prima facie, Iran has prepared better.

Israel is also working to occupy Southern Lebanon, as it did from 1982 until 2000. The number of displaced people in Lebanon is now approaching one million people, while Israel continues to commit atrocities in Gaza, and throughout the Occupied Territories – not just in Iran. It is clear that Israel is using its war versus Iran and the worldwide outrage created by Jewish State militant extremism, as cover for its current aggression versus Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank, in aid of Israel’s goal to achieve a Greater Israel Empire, and build the Third Temple where al Aqsa mosque stands now.

An immediate concern for the world is the delusional and obviously deranged frame of mind that Donald Trump exhibits. Trump is a character unable to accept defeat — or work for peace — however he must now be forced to accept defeat, or many more will die, and the world will slip into a deep economic depression. If Trump cannot see reason, and apparently he cannot, in my opinion we will face a supremely dreadful and very very dark future in the west going forward.
