January: 

Thousands of people digging in the graveyard for Jeffry Epstein and Charlie Kirk

January, 2026: Israel desperately pushing its American political puppets into war with Iran that no country in the world except Israel wants. American public overwhelmingly opposed to war with Iran. Despite Israeli propaganda machine in overdrive, Americans finally waking up to threat posed by Israel to American lives, Constitutional rights, and economy. Worth noting: Iran is the size of Europe, 9x the size of Yemen with 2x the population, backed by Russia and China, they’re armed to the teeth, and they’re not afraid.

Two other things worth noting: It is increasingly clear to Americans that the main drivers for Trump attacking Iran for Israel are  1) he is mentioned in the Epstein Files (scandal of the century so far) thousands of times.  2) Trump has taken over $150 million from Zionists.

January o1, 2026: New Year’s Day: In a bid to take over the region for Israel, the United States Treasury collapsed Iran’s currency in the last week of December, 2025. Massive demonstrations in Tehran over economic hardship.  Violence breaks out. Tomorrow, and in ensuing weeks,  it will become clear that the whole thing is a psyop fomented by the Mossad, CIA, and others from outside Iran.

January 02, 2026:   Former Secretary of State and former head of the CIA Mike Pompeo, tweets on social media: “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. And to every Mossad agent walking beside them.” 

January 13, 2026: As always, Zionists can’t keep their mouths shut. Today’s example is Israeli Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (wanted by the ICC for war crimes), “At this moment when what matters most is the mass action on the ground, we need to stay in the background and steer things with an invisible hand.”  he also said, “There is a great deal to be done behind the scenes but I think it’s good that it stays that way.”

Early January, As part of coup attempt against Iran, U.S. tries to flex muscles in Persian Gulf with USS Abraham Lincoln carrier battle group. Israel/US neocon’s plan had 3 parts a) collapse economy. b) create civil unrest through violence. c) U.S. would bomb Iran targeting leadership. The Lincoln was to be part of that.

Mid-January, 2026: Israeli Coup against Iran fails, exposing Israeli and US weakness in the region. As with the June 2025 12-day-war, Iran figured out what was happening within hours. They took down Starlink across the country (which was considered impossible). They were able to track down and arrest Israeli assets by following links to Starlink terminals. Within days streets were quiet and the coup that was supposed to topple Iran had collapsed.

*January 14, 2026: Consensus from ‘Judging Freedom’ analysts is; realizing Israel will get hammered by Iran, Netanyahu ordered Trump to hold off on attacking Iran until more U.S. military assets are sent to protect Israel.

US ships in the area as of February (Aircraft carrier Gerald Ford is enroute. Plus the US air force has sent nearly every American refueling tanker to bases around the region.

22 January, 2026: In an Orwellian hallucination, as Trump stages troops and weapons for an attack on Iran, his ‘Board of Peace’ (that Trump announced on 29 September, 2025) signs its charter in Davos, Switzerland. Netanyahu doesn’t attend over fears the Swiss will arrest him and hand him over to the ICC for war crimes. The Board ‘Chairman for Life’ is–wait for it–Donald Trump!, and consists of his cronies Kushner and Witkoff, Tony Blair, 22 pro-Israel member states, and various billionaires who paid $1 bn each to be on it. Initial goal was supposed to be resolving Gaza genocide. Reality is another ploy to disarm Hamas and give Gaza to Israel forever.  Now as the BOP would Gaza over to the billionaires, it comes out that some of the architects of this would like the BOP to replace the United Nations. Unlikely BOP will go anywhere. The Palestinian Quislings, Al Fatah, who want to run Gaza support it. Hamas, and every group who supports a Palestinian state, rejects it.

*February 5,2026: The Chinese Government cancels all new investment with Israel. Labels Israel as ‘high risk zone’ (red category)  since the start of the genocide in 2023. 

*February 10, 2026. Revolution Day in Iran. 2 million take to the streets at 8 a.m. in solidarity with the Iranian government. 

*Feb 10, 2026: Netanyahu visits Trump for the seventh (!) time since Trump took office last year to plot strategy against Iran. Americans are beginning to notice Netanyahu controls the US government. Without American support Israel is nothing.

*February 10, 2026: “White House Religious Liberty Commission” holds Fifth meeting: This was on ‘Anti Semitism and Religious Liberty in the Private Sector, so, pretty much all about supporting Israel. Commission member Carrie Prejean Boller, a Catholic who was appointed by Trump, showed up at the hearing with a Palestinian flag lapel pin, urged participants to call Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson anti-Zionist rather than anti-Semites, asked those conflating  anti-Semitism if they denounced Israel for the Gaza genocide, and accused some of the witnesses of Islamophobia. She was thrown off the commission. So much for Religious Liberty.  Advisor to the Commission Sameera Munshi resigned in protest of Boller’s removal. A few weeks later Boller was presented with a ‘Catholic Champion Award’ by a group called Catholics for Catholics. Boller said she will stay on the Commission until Trump removes her. “I want the President to admit: Is he ‘America First’, or ‘Israel First’.

*February 10, 2026: An insightful, brutal article on Israeli mutilation of Palestinian bodies. https://thebaffler.com/latest/im-not-done-with-you-turfah

*Israel still threatening war with Iran even as Russia and China are sending IL-76 cargo planes into Iran around the clock. No one know just what these big planes are offloading but it ain’t roses. Mainstream U.S. commentators claim Iran is weaker than it’s ever been. Military analysts in alternative media believe Iran now has the goods to  sink U.S. fleet and turn Israel into a parking lot. The Abraham Lincoln moves out of Iranian missile range. Strong evidence that Iran now has equipment that can take down GPS that U.S. Tomahawk missiles use to find targets. Iran has showcased a formidable array of the world’s most formidable missiles and drones–ballistic, hypersonic, underwater, and cheapos they can throw out to use up the enemy’s defense missiles. They also have three dimensional radar that identifies stealth fighters and bombers. Which defeats not only the planes but the industry that builds them and sells them around the world.

*Trump claimed last June that America had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program. Americans asking “Then why are you threatening to attack Iran over a nuclear program you said didn’t exist anymore? Israel immediately changes its narrative. Netanyahu adds to his list of demands if Iran wants to avoid war. 1) Iran can’t have any nuclear enrichment, Not even for medical use. (Befor it was no nuclear enrichment over a certain percentage). 2) Iran has to give up all its missiles 3) Iran can’t help allies like Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthi,. etc. 4) Iran has to totally disarm Hamas and block up all its tunnels. No sovereign state would take this seriously. They’re just made so Israel can claim Iran wouldn’t negotiate. Maybe the next one will be ‘Iran can’t have ice cream.’

February 10, 2026: Yet another expose’ about Israeli military taking Palestinian bodies  https://thebaffler.com/latest/im-not-done-with-you-turfah

Feb 11, 2026: International support for Zionist regime further tanks as clueless Israeli President Isaac Herzog visits Australia. Doesn’t go well. (remember that just a few months ago a quarter million Aussies marched across Sydney bridge to protest Israeli’s genocide. What could go wrong?). Thousands turned out to protest. Footage of Australian police attacking Australian citizens on behalf of Israel went viral around the world. Using tactics Israeli occupation troops use on Palestinians, Sydney police broke a 69-year-old grandmother’s back in four places.

Feb 11, 2026: Netanyahu visits Trump again plotting war of aggression against Iran. Head of Mossad, David Barnea, installed for 3 nights at Blair House (part of the White House Complex usually reserved for visiting heads of state). Netanyahu was treated as if he were President of the United States with highways into DC closed for him, massive Secret Service presence, helicopters,etc. AND, Max Blumenthal reports that Netanyahu and Barnea were not only allowed into the Situation Room at the White House, Netanyahu sat at the head of the head of the table while Trump sat on the side.  Comes out later that Netanyahu and Barnea convinced Trump Iran would collapse within 96 hours of a US/Israeli attack. 

**February 12, 2026: crew of the USS Gerald R Ford deployed to Mediterranean AGAIN to threaten Iran on behalf of Israel. The Ford’s  crew have become a symbol of cratering support for Israel among US military personnel and their families. The ship and crew were sent out last June on a scheduled 6 month deployment. They were extended two months. Now they’ve been extended again. Reports are the ship will be placed off Israel where it will be a sitting duck. Also revealed that the $13 billion GRF has a massive on-going problem with sewage backing up. Official story is that the problem is piping design, which is stupid because the GRF was launched 12 years ago and this is the first we’ve heard about toilet malfunctions. More believable reports are that crew members are deliberately clogging the system by flushing T-shirts, etc., down toilets.

*As of February, 2026: US has pulled military assets from all over the world to threaten Iran for Israel. 30% of US airforce F-35’s have been deployed to Mid East. (of 21 squadrons, 7 are in the region, mostly at bases in Saudi Arabia and Jordan). Note: F-35’s have a radius of 600 miles–eg. on a mission they can fly 300 miles one-way before they have to turn around or refuel in mid-air. Because of this, most of America’s refueling tanker aircraft (about 100) have been sent to bases near Iran where they are sitting ducks. American’s again asking, “What the hell are we doing there?”

*February 18, 2026: Journalist Tucker Carlson interviews US Ambassador (Christian Zionist Israel tool) Mike Huckabee. Calls out Huckabee’s clandestine meeting with traitor and Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard. During the interview Huckabee says it would be ‘just fine’ for Israel to take the the entire Middle East. Middle East countries freak out at this affirmation that after Gaza, they’re next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS7itdfgNnU

*February 19, 2026: Trump gives Iran ultimatum they have 10 to 15 days to negotiate. Iran not impressed, particularly since last June Israel launched 12-day war on Iran 3 days before the Iran was supposed to meet US for negotiations. Iran locked and loaded. It will turn out that the negotiations are a sham and that Trump/Netanyahu had plotted attacking Iran during Netanyany’s December 29, 2025 meeting at Mara Largo. The ‘negotiations’ were only stalling for time while US sent military assets to support Israel’

*February 21, 2026: NY Times reports NATO and US troops being quietly evacuated from key bases: Al Udeid in Qatat, and the US 5th fleet bases in Bahrain, which are easy targets for Iran if Israel attacks them.

February 22, 2026: Trump’s ‘negotiator’ an ardent Zionist real estate agent playing diplomat, Witkoff tells the press Trump is ‘curious’ as to why Iran has not capitulated in the face of all the US military power Trump has sent to the region. [You can’t make this stuff up].

*February 23, 2026: US orders all non-essential personnel evacuated from Lebanon embassy. Clearly Israel’s ‘decapitation attacks’ on Hezbollah in Lebanon are a failure.

February 27, 2026: Zionist billionaire Ellison family buys Warner Brothers for $110 billion. This means Zionists now openly  control the majority of traditional news media in America as well as large segments of social media: CBS, NBC, Paramount, Warner Brothers, TikTok, HBO, DC Comics, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Comedy Central, Avatar, Food Network, and a host of others. 

February 28, 2026: “A day that will live in infamy” Israel and the United States launch massive missile attack on Iran killing large numbers of people, military and civilian, including the murder of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei–second most important religious figure to Shia Islam–and the man responsible for stopping Iran from building a nuclear weapon since he pronounced a fatwah against it in 2003.  Despite western media reports that Khamenei was hiding in a bunker, he’d refused to do that since most Iranians didn’t have access to bomb shelters, he wouldn’t either. He was martyred at 8:10 a.m. in his office at home along with his little grand daughter, and his daughter in law. This ignites conflict with 200 million Shia Muslims.  The Ayatollah’s son, who was also at the house and was wounded in the attack, will be elected two weeks later as  the new supreme leader.  Benjamin Netanyahu hiding in bunker, whereabouts unknown. This is a war of aggression. War of aggression was the principal charge against Nazis at Nuremberg since all other war crimes stem from this. 

February 28, 2026: Among those innocents was a young girls school where 171 girls ages 6 to 12 and their teachers were murdered in a missile strike. A hundred more were injured. Whatever the world thinks of the Ayatollah, this horrible crime of slaughtering little girls shocks the world. A ritual child sacrifice by blood thirsty monsters. Zionists try spread rumors that Iran blew up the girls for publicity. Donald Trump blames Iran. Instead of taking responsibility the cowardly Pete Hegseth says he’s investigating.  Footage of the attack shows double-tap strike with US Tomahawk missiles. Within a week even mainstream media reports US missiles that the children and their teachers.

Point on the war crime of killing the little girls: Blame is 100% on Pete Hegseth. Pete Hegseth had abolished the Fail Safe Unit of experts whose job was ensuring targets were actual military targets before missiles were launched. This war crime is 100% on Pete Hegseth.  US goes on to claim it was an accident/blame AI/blame Iran, it’s none of those. It’s Pete Hegseth.  

 01, March, 2026: Iran begins sustained, precise attacks on every US base in the region. By the end of the week, all 27 will be smashed including the US Navy’s 5th fleet port in Bahrain and including all 5 major radar facilities (which cost $500 million to $1.1billion each and one of them was used for spying on Russia)

01, March, 2026: Massive protests break out in Bahrain where about 75% of the population is Shia Muslim but they’re ruled by Sunis.

01, March, 2026: US Embassy in Iraq attacked by furious protesters.

01 March, 2026: US Consulate in Karachi Pakistan attacked by angry protesters, US marines and others guarding the consulate opened fire killing 10 people.

07 March, 2026: Trump fires Kristi Noem as Head of Homeland Security. As noted in 2025, among her many pro-Israel,  un-American actions in that capacity, Noem tried to get student visas revoked from those who participated in pro-Palestinian events. She was involved in arrests of pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia. She threatened to curtail university’s ability to teach foreign students if the university’s didn’t stop pro-Palestinian students and teachers from protesting.

07 March, 2026: USS Gerald R Ford sails down Suez Canal into Red Sea to threaten Iran. Iran not impressed.

07 March, 2026: Jarrod Agen, National Energy Dominance Council Executive Director, says:  What we wanna do is get such massive oil reserves in Iran out of the hands of terrorists…we’re gonna get all of the oil out of the hands of terrorists.”

First week of March, 2026: Strait of Hormuz closed to all but vessels approved by Iran which are pretty much all Chinese. 20% of world’s oil goes through the Strait along with over 30% of fertilizer, and major LNG supplies.

March, 2026: Iran fires 4 missiles at USS Abraham Lincoln from 250 miles away. Claims to have hit it. US denies the Lincoln was hit but moves it 500 miles farther from Iran. This will curtail much of the carrier’s bombing capability because the planes have to refuel multiple times per mission now. [Today’s double-speak] Instead of saying the Lincoln retreated so Iran couldn’t blow it up; we’re told, the Lincoln “…has been strategically repositioned in the Middle East to enhance survivability…”

First week of March, 2026: Iran backs up Hormuz blockade by striking 4 vessels trying to run the blockade. Eight sailors killed. Shipping Insurers won’t cover ships wanting to cross. Donald Trump makes crazy statements that he’ll pay for insurance and provide US Naval escorts for ships. He can’t do either and everyone knows it. Five star hotels engulfed in flames: Turns out they were being used to house US troops and CIA operations. Iran knew it and hit them. It comes out that some of the Dubai targets were part of Trump family and cronies investment empire. Hezbollah, alive and well and itching to fight, is pounding Northern Israel. 

By end of the first week, the United States, which had been seen as a stabilizing force, is now seen by every country in the region as a liability.

March 15, 2026: Add to Iranian tally of systematically hitting every US facility in the Middle East–the $1 billion US Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq hit with a missile. 

March 17, 2026: Aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford-now on it’s 10th month of deployment- is heading out of the Red Sea to Crete for repairs after non-combat shipboard fire. Originally reported by the Navy as a March 12, fire in the ship’s laundry that injured two sailors, now we find out: the fire burned for hours, damage control operations went on for 30 hours, over 200 sailors were treated for smoke inhalation, smoke got into berthing spaces, ruining 600 mattresses, displacing sailors throughout the ship. Part of Navy plan now is to send 1,000 mattresses from the under construction USS John F Kennedy. Cause of the fire is widely considered sabotage by crew memeber(s).

20 March, 2026: Iran launches 68th wave of missiles. They’re averaging somewhere between 60 and 100 missiles per day. Among other missiles, Iran is bringing out Kuranshaw 4 (sp?) which have 30to40 explosive canisters that blossom out at 4X the speed of sound. Israelis, not used to getting hit, are angry at their government and IDF. Colonel Larry Wilkerson estimates Israel has taken such a pounding that 3 to 4% of Israelis would be dead or wounded if they didn’t have the bomb shelter/tunnel networks they do.

22 March, 2026: Trump, looking for an off-ramp to the war, and trying to stabilize soaring oil prices, announces he’s easing sanctions on Iran! to the tune of $14 billion/year freed up for Iran. Worth noting: Iran’s annual military budget is $10 billion. Trump is also easing sanctions on Russia, which is arming Iran.

24 March, 2026: US, through Pakistan, sends Iran 15 conditions for a Cease Fire, as if the US was in charge and was winning. Neither of which is the case. The conditions haven’t been published but according to reports the conditions were set out by Witkoff and Kushner so they are everything Israel wants, some nuggets: Iran has to give up its nuclear program, its ballistic missiles, abandon its allies in the region, open the Strait of Hormuz with free transit of ships.  In return US will lift sanctions on Iran except they’ll put them back if Iran varies from any of the above.There’s nothing about Israel having to do anything. Iran not interested in talking with Witkoff or Kushner and not taking their Israel first plan seriously.

As of March 28, 2026: Week 4 of Israel/US war of aggression in Iran is a disaster for Israel/US and their Gulf State supporters. So far, Iran is pummeling Israeli infrastructure with precision bombs that have caused very few Israeli civilian casualties, US and Israel have killed thousands of Iranians and Lebanese.

March 29, 2026: Palm Sunday: Jewish state has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchure at gunpoint and won’t allow Christians to celebrate Easter at the most holy spot in the faith. Outrage among Christians around the world. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-blocks-top-catholic-leaders-palm-sunday-mass-holy-sepulchre

March 30, 2026: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf calls out Trump for timing his statements about the war to manipulate capital markets.

March 31, 2026: Trump & C. flailing even as they’re manipulating stock markets with threats of war in Middle East. They’re backing away from Israeli demands for Iran to stop all nuclear enrichment, get rid of its ballistic missiles, stop supporting Hezbollah/Hamas/Yemen/Iraqi resistance, and Iran totally disarming Hamas. At this point Trump even backing away from demands that Iran open the Strait of Homuz. Everyone pointing out that the Strait of Hormuz was OPEN before Trump joined Israel on this disastrous war. And that Iran had agreed to stopping nuclear enrichment but is probably going to develop nuclear deterrence now. And that other countries in the region have a right to defend themselves against Israel.

Lost Narrative In America: 

Trumps America First MAGA base collapsing in the face Trump’s ‘Israel First No Matter What’ efforts.

*January 8, 2026: As investing in Israeli bonds approach junk-bond status: Palm Beach County goes the other way, reaches $1 billion in Israeli bonds, three times next highest Israeli bond investor–wait for it–the state of Florida . When Israel tanks we’ll see how Floridians who support Israel today like cuts in their pension checks.

*20 January, 2026:  New York City: New sheriff in town in the Big Apple. NY’s first Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani rejects NYC’s Jewish Comptroller’s plan to invest in Israeli bonds. (article in Times of Israel–Israelis follow this sort of thing closely). NYC’s outgoing comptroller had decided not to reinvest in Israeli bonds. His replacement, who took office the same day as Mamdani, wants to keep investing New Yorker’s money in Israel.

20 January, 2026: Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent still boasting about collapsing Iran’s economy, President Trump ordered Treasury and our OFAC Division(Office of Foreign Asset Control) to put maximum pressure on Iran. And it’s worked…” Bessent also spoke about Lindsey Graham’s proposal to put 500% tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil. In two months he will be trying to explain why Donald Trump and the Treasury have lifted sanctions on Iranian and Russian oil.

January 25, 2026: TikTok social media platform censors the word ‘Zionism. For those wondering about TikTok’s censorship rules. CEO Adam Presser clarifies Zionist can be used in something to be proud of but otherwise if TikTok considers Zionist used as a dirty name “then that gets designated as hate speech to be moderated against”

February 28, 2026: Americans wake up to the fact that their Zionist owned politicians have got them into a war with someone who can fight back. And, along with the rest of the world they’re appalled at images of 171 little girls at and their teachers in a school in southern Iran, murdered by a double-tap strike American taxpayer funded tomahawk missiles. US Govt predicts war will last 4 days to a week.

March 1, 2026: Netanyahu gloats about dragging America into war with Iran. in part he says: “…we are also bringing to this campaign the assistance of the United States, my friend Donald Trump, and the US military. This coalition of forces allows us to do what I have yearned to do for 40 years: smite the terror regime hip and thigh. This is what I promised and this is what we shall do.” 

*March 1, 2026: Iranian drones hit US consulates in Dubai and US Embassy in Saudi Arabia. 

*March 2, 2026: With all air, land and water routes blocked, the US State Department issues message to about one million Americans in Middle East: “Deport Now Due to Serious Safety Risks” Marco Rubio recited a phone number where Americans could call for help. News crew called the number. Got a recorded message: “Please do not rely on the US government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time. There are currently no United States evacuation points.” Affected countries 1) Bahrain. 2) Egypt. 3) Iran 4) Iraq 5) Palestine [West Bank, Gaza, Israel] 6) Jordan 7) Kuwait 8) Lebanon 9) Oman 10) Qatar 11) Saudi Arabia 12) Syria 13) UAE 14) Yemen.

If Americans could possibly need more proof that US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee cares more about Israel than Americans, here’s the message from the US Embassy in Israel: “the US Embassy in not in a position at this time to evacuate or directly assist Americans in departing Israel.”  Was this creature standing tall or hiding in a bomb shelter while Americans were hanging out to dry?

02 March, 2026: Iran bombs Netanyahu’s office and Israeli Air Force Commander’s office in the same wave of strikes. In coming days, Netanyahu will go missing, fueling speculation that he’s dead or wounded.

02 March, 2026: (double speak) “We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in State Department website Remarks to the Press on why the United States attacked Iran.

03 March, 2026: Marco Rubio US Secretary of State/National Security Advisor/fool, makes a “Kinsley Gaffe” (that’s where a political figure accidentally reveals the truth) by telling reporters the United States entered the war because of Israel. Specifically, he said, “We knew there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that would precipitate a reaction against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before those attacks that we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed.” (sic) US Speaker of the House (and Israel tool) Mike Johnson repeated the same message.

Support from Trump’s MAGA base, which was in bad shape anyway, is cratering with Rubio/Johnson/Huckabee ‘Israel First’ agenda.

March 3, 2026: Iran has damaged several tankers trying to pass the Strait of Hormuz, shipping insurers are not willing to cover ships there. AND SO, Trump announces the US will provide military escorts, and provide insurance/financial security. He has no ability to do this, no ships try it, and he looks the fool…again.

March 5, 2026: Trump claims the Iranians are asking for a peace negotiations. Iran leaders state Iran said no such thing.  A petulant Trump then says US will only accept ‘unconditional surrender’ of Iran.  When people ask how the US plans to do that, his press secretary ‘clarifies’ ‘unconditional surrender’ means what the President says it means not necessarily the Iranians surrendering.

March 6, 2026: Well, it’s Friday. It’s been a week. War was supposed to last 2 days–Saturday to Monday, then it might last a week, then 4-5 weeks, then  “as long as it takes.” What has that meant so far? Mainstream media not reporting it so here goes:

In financial terms: The bankrupt US is spending between $1 bn and $2 bn per day on this fiasco, not counting replacement of spent/lost/destroyed ammunition. In addition, crude oil went up over 35% per barrel this week. Slowly, slowly, slowly, Americans beginning to realize this will impact all of us. Price of oil went down briefly after US Energy Secretary Chris Wright falsely claimed in a post that the US Navy had escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. Post was deleted almost at once. China dumps $40  bn in US stock holdings.

21 March, 2026: Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent says US has ‘plenty’ of funds for Iran war. At the same time, US military requests an extra$200 billion for the Iran war. 

In military terms: *We have lost four F-15 fighters shot down, and an undisclosed number of other aircraft; including at least 29 drones (MQ-9 reapers, Herons, Hermes), and airfields destroyed. *We have lost naval assets including the 5th fleet Naval base in Bahrain. *We have lost 5 major radar systems that were the eyes and ears of US and Israeli military in the Middle East. This includes the Jordan base, Al Udeid in Qatar and, the US Naval Base in Bahrain, Each of them cost between $500 million and $1.1 billion. They’re gone and they ain’t coming back. *We have lost America’s image of military superiority. Our two (only two) aircraft carrier battle groups have run away out of range of Iranian missiles. In 6 days Iran destroyed 40% of America’s THAAD missile inventory.
Iran hit CentCom headquarters in Qatar.

March 8, 2026: Donald Trump plays a round of golf.

March 10, 2026: So far, US has lost at least 7 dead troops and an unknown number of wounded, (widely suspected casualties are higher than revealed). Trump used the dead for a photo op when they were returned to Dover AFB. Trump didn’t even take off his MAGA merch ball cap as the caskets were carried by.

March 11, 2026: Trump announces victory: “We’ve won. You never like to say too early that you’ve won but we’ve won. In the first hour it was over.”  As he spoke, US bases around the Persian Gulf were getting pounded by Iranian missiles.

The Pentagon, which already got a $1.5 trillion budget wants another $50 billion for this war for Israel. (in a few days, Pentagon ups that request to $200 billion.

12 March, 2026: Israel drops charges against the prison guards who tortured, gang raped/sodomized a Palestinian while filmed on video. This was a sensational case in Israel with mobs storming the military base where the guards were being questioned and Israeli politicians calling the rapists ‘hero’s’. The world got a good look at the sick brutality of the most depraved society on earth. By dropping the charges, Israel confirms what most of the planet thinks of them.

March 13, 2026: End of week 2: Damage assessments to US/Israel/Gulf States can no longer be hidden. Begin to make it into mainstream media. KC-135 refueling tanker plane destroyed over Iraq with 6 crew killed, a companion KC 135 was damaged on the same flight bringing total US planes lost to 6 and official US death toll to 13.  Iran says resistance shot the tanker down. US said they didn’t. Iran continues to shoot down drones. We’ve lost we’ve lost 29 drones and fired off 300 tomahawk missiles (the US only makes about 80 tomahawks a year. Comes out that this war for Israel, in the first 6 days, cost $11.3 bn per day (not including replacement of US/Israeli weapons/munitions that are on US taxpayers). Analysts point out that all Elon Musk/Trump Dodge budget cuts that cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their livelihoods are gone in less than a week. Trump has released 40% of US petroleum reserves.  Oil is over $100/bbl. Groceries 30% higher than in 2020. War now costing over $2 billion/day.

March 15, 2026: Popular journalist Tucker Carlson (who has exposed the Iran fiasco to millions of Americans) reveals that the CIA is preparing a criminal referral against him for speaking with people in Iran. 

March 17, 2026: *Joe Kent, Director of National Counter-Terrorism Center; resigns in open letter to the President saying Iran posed no immediate threat to the United States and that America is in this war because of Israel and the Israel Lobby in America. Internet erupts, it’s out in plain sight and there’s no hiding from it. Trump Administration in a tailspin calls Kent a liar and implies he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. *Joe Kent is a former Green Beret with 11 combat deployments, worked for the CIA, is a Gold Star husband whose wife, Navy Senior Chief Shannon Kent was killed by a suicide bomber in Syria, 2019.

March 18, 2026: Tulsi Gabbard, Head of NIS evasive and uncomfortable, testifies to Congress at the annual Worldwide Threats hearing that Iran did not have a nuclear bomb and wasn’t working on one. She made the surreal claim that threat assessments were the purview of the President, not her department. 

19 March, 2026: Trump called out at Congressional Hearings by Senator Ossoff.  In a new low, even for Donald Trump, in an email, Trump invited his campaign donors to, Claim your spot. Join now to receive private National Security Briefings” featuring a photo of the President during a dignified transfer ceremony with a flag-draped coffin of an American service member killed in action returning to their families.”   in related news, Colonel Larry Wilkerson said, ” I saw a report about 46 hours ago that Kushner and Whitcoff, and of course other members of Trump’s entorage,have probably amassed about $200 billion, yes billion, while doing their quote, ‘diplomacy’.

By the end of the week: US stock market has lost 10%, gas up about $1/gallon, diesel up about $2/gallon. Pentagon now asking for an extra $200 billion for Israel’s war with Iran. The Economist reports the cost of replacing munitions used in first four days would be $20 to $26 bn. US has used >300 tomahawk missiles (Pentagon had planned to buy 57 new ones in the current fiscal year), There have been no deliveries of THAAD interceptors since 2023 (Pentagon has not ordered new ones). Only 39 interceptors are slated for delivery in 2027 (six years after they were ordered). AND, analysts point out that 98% of minerals needed to build high tech radar and missile guidance systems are  in China (who won’t be selling them to the US).

20 March, 2026: 4,400 US Marines supposedly being sent to Middle East. Trump and Israelis talking about putting American ‘boots on the ground’ in Iran. This can hardly be taken seriously as it would be a suicide mission. Even if they could land somewhere without being blown up enroute, it would be 4,400 marines vs a million man Iranian army on it’s own turf. That includes 150,000 very tough Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Most analysts consider that in modern warfare, amphibious assaults a strategy whose time has passed.

Saturday, Evening: March 21, 2026: Trump gives Iran ultimatum: threatens to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power plants, beginning with the biggest one, if Iran doesn’t open Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Iran, now in the driver’s seat, and having been stabbed in the back twice in 8 months by US negotiators, is not talking to US, but puts everyone on notice that it will turn all US bases and all Arab Gulf States collaborating with US/Israel into sandwich spread.  Monday, Evening March 23, 2026: . On Monday, when Iran still won’t talk to US, much less open the Strait, Trump extends his ultimatum by five days. Five days comes and goes.  Iran still denies talks are taking place with US. Price of oil has risen to $114/bbl. Trump claims talks with Iran are productive and extends ultimatum deadline to April 6, 2026.

21 March,2026: “Israel First” : Ex Israeli negotiator Daniel Levy says Netanyahu led Trump into illegal Iran war. airs on mainstream media (Democracy Now)

23 March, 2026: Donald Trump eases sanctions on Iran, freeing up $14 billion to that country. After boasting about how effective sanctions have been for months, Scott Bessent ties himself in knots trying to explain lifting them, he said, “In essence, we are jiu-jitsuing the Iranians. We are using their own oil against them.” [All commentators point out that jiu jitsu isn’t punching yourself in the face.]

24 March, 2026: Iran has turned Strait of Hormuz into a toll booth. It’s collection from tankers they let pass through  countries not supporting US/Israel. The kicker is: Iran is insisting on being paid in Chines Yuan. Chas Freeman calls this “…a direct retort to our Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent,who said, “The fact that we’ve given Iran relief  from sanctions… (which we have, Iran has scored exactly one of the things they wanted which is sanction relief. Its oil now is not under US sanction, effectively, and Mr. Bessent said)… “Well, it doesn’t matter because, of course, oil has to be paid in dollars and we control the use of dollars.”   *Then Chas gives a quick breakdown of Nixon in 1971 taking US dollar off the gold standard, making it a fiat currency. Then, after the 1973/74 Arab oil embargo,  the Ford Administration made a deal with the Gulf states that they would invest money into the United States. This made the US dollar backed by oil–the petro dollar. Meaning, if oil trading moves to other currencies the US dollar is  backed by nothing.     From Judging Freedom with Judge Napolitano interview with Chas Freeman.:

March 25, 2026: With retention/enlistments tanking, US Army raises enlistment age from 35 to 42. Removes barriers from recruits with marijuana convictions.

27 March, 2026: Israeli occupation troops and colonists in the West Bank attack CNN news crew. Americans beginning to notice these things. Pointing out no IDF troops or colonists have been arrested or convicted for killing Americans. IDF choked camera man, slammed him to the ground, destroyed his camera. Marjorie Taylor Green points out study by Watson Institute, Brown University, that Israel has killed more journalists than all journalists killed in the Civil War,World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan–combined. That’s 254 journalists killed by Israel since October, 2023.

30 March,2026: 82nd Airborne deployed to Persian Gulf. One Marine Expeditionary Unit of 2,500 has already been sent to Diego Garcia, another MEU enroute. In addition, 46 flights of SOF (Special Operations Forces) have been flown to three bases, 1 in Israel, 2 in Jordan. There are also about 50,000 US military personnel in the region but most are not combat ground pounders. 

Alastair Crooke reports, “Israelis pushing really hard for America to take Kharg Island.” [Israel doesn’t want to put its own troops into that effort]. Israelis now getting pounded by Iranian missiles. They’re blaming the head of Mossad, David Barnea who the Israeli press says was ‘living at the White House’ in the run-up to war with Iran.
Trump threatening to destroy civilian infrastructure [as if he hasn’t already]. Alastair points out that civilian targets are easy to hit while Iran’s military cities and tunnels are under ground, some of them 800 meters down inside granite mountains, with railway systems in them that can reload missiles as they’re fired out ofsilos, then the rails can be retracted so they’re not hit when Israel/US figures out where the shot came from.
Again,Israel and the US are bombing schools and hospitals because they can’t identify and destroy Iranian missile silos.
Israel is losing to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah has destroyed around 100 Merkava tanks (and crews), plus undisclosed (by Israel) number of troops.

Obvious pattern has emerged where Trump manipulates the stock market by saying productive talks with Iran underway just before markets open on Monday. Then escalates threats against Iran through the week, ending with military threats just before the weekend. 

End of March Reality Check: For those who think a few thousand US ground invasion could make a dent in Iran or Israel is going to take Southern Lebanon:
*America’s ‘great allay’ Israel, who manipulated Trump into this war, is not sending any troop for boots on the ground to Iran.
*Gaza is a trapped population in an area 5×25 miles., Israel hasn’t defeated Hamas there after 2 1/2 years. Now they are trying to take Southern Lebanon, called up 400,000 reservists many of whom are not reporting for duty. Hezbollah, very much alive, is punishing Israeli troops who try to hold Southern Lebanon.
*Iran is the size of Western Europe with  93 million people who want blood for what Israel and America have done to their people.
*Topography of Iran. 2,000 kilometers along Strait of Hormuz. Cliffs along the Strait of Hormuz are honeycombed with tunnels and underground missile cities, a navy of hidden fast attack missile boats, underwater drones, hidden missile silos… Steep, jagged mountains behind the cliffs give Iran 270 degree fire control for artillery.
*Iran has mini-submarines which can operate undetected in the Strait of Hormuz, (unlike larger foreign submarines).
*Iraqi Prime Minister Sudari has given permission for Iraqi militias to join the war on Iran’s side. Iraqis mobilizing against Kurds and American bases, and they’re massing troops on the Kuwait & Syria borders probably for attack.
*Iraq is mostly Shia Muslim country (like Iran) with a population of 47.6 million people who are furious at the murder of Iranian Ayatollah Khamenei. Many Ayatollahs in Iraq have declared mandatory Jihad by the faithful against US and against Israel.
*Under the Iranian Constitution, the Iranian President has no function in foreign defense. That is the purview of the Supreme National Security Council.
*The only two countries in the Middle East that have democratic elections are Iran and Iraq.
*Resistance fighters against Israel/US consolidating: Iran, Iraq, Houthi, Hezbollah, Hamas. Remember those Bruce Lee movies from the 70’s when 20 guys would surround Bruce Lee, all of them jumping around but only attacking by ones and twos at a time? The Middle East has been that way for years but now, they’re converging all at once.
*90% of Middle East terrorism has been from Suni Muslims (like Al Jolani (former head Syrian chopper the US had a $10 million price on his head, then the US made him President of Syria). The Iranians, who are Shia Muslims have been fighting terrorists like ISIS , Al Qada, Al Nusra, et al.
*Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. They have allowed international inspections of their nuclear program and they don’t have nuclear weapons. Israel is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, they have nuclear weaponsm and they don’t allow inspections.

Lost Narrative In Europe: 

January 29, 2026: European Union designates Iranian army (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Um. the whole army? Yup. Affirms Europeans’ understanding that Zionists  control European politics.

*February 6, 2026: Israeli athletes booed as they enter Olympic Stadium at the start of Winter Olympics.  During the Israeli bobsled team’s race a Swiss commentator wondered why Russia has been banned from the Olympics, and other international sporting events because of the Ukraine war but Israel isn’t banned because of the Gaza genocide. US Vice President JD Vance was at the stadium. He was also booed.

February 20, 2026: UK denies US permission to use UK airfields at Diego Garcia (Indian Ocean) and Fairfiled, Gloucestershire for attack on Iran over concerns such an attack will violate international law. UK later caves to Zionists, said US can use their bases.

* February 25, 2026: Allies of US are pulling troops out of US bases and saying they’ll deny US the use of airbases to attack Iran.  France, Norway, Germany, Sweden, Italy moving to Erbil, Iraq. (Which of course makes Erbil a more likely target if war starts.)

*March 2, 2026: US military planes leave Spain when Spain says US can’t use Spain for attacks on Iran. A petulant Trump threatens to cut off trade with Spain. THEN Trump goes full nutzo on national media claiming “We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody’s gonna tell us not to use it.”

March 10, 2026: All five Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Denmark say they will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu if he flies across their airspace or lands in their countries.  

11 March 2026: Spain permanently withdraws it’s Ambassador to Israel. 

18 March, 2026: French Special Envoy to Lebanon says it’s unreasonable to ask Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah while Israel is bombing Lebanon. [Which is true. Also true that Lebanese army couldn’t disarm Hezbollah even if it wanted to.]

Reports are that Britain nearly out of natural gas supplies.

23 March, 2026: Arson of 4 Jewish ambulances in London synagogue parking lot. Sensational media immediately floats Iranian terrorism connection. Then 2 British nationals are arrested. No terrorism charges filed. They’re released. When Al Jazeera shows up to cover the story, a Jewish mob gathers around them. ‘Declassified UK’ discovered that the mob’s leader, who was trying to intimidate the reporters, is David Soffer, a special officer with Metropolitan police, the agency responsible for investigating the arson. This ‘attack’ is widely viewed as another Zionist false flag. Time may tell.

 March 26, 2026: Congressman Julian Castro (D-Tx) grills Under Secretary of State Thomas DiNanno on whether or not Israel has nuclear weapons. Castro asks multiple times. DiNanno refuses to answer multiple times. Raising the question, again, who is in charge of US foreign policy.

March 28, 2026: Trump denigrates NATO agan. NATO refuses to attack Iran. Trump threatens to pull US out of NATO. 

March 31, 2026: France, Italy, Spain have not only denied US military aircraft to use their bases, they are denying use of their airspace for US military planes to fly over. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer declares “This is not our war.” And the UK will not be drawn into it. 

Lost Narrative in Asia: 

*January 29, 2026:  Shifting power balance continues as Russia, China, Iran sign trilateral security agreement two weeks after failed US/Israel coup attempt against Iran. 

07 February, 2026: Israel threatens, war against–wait for it–Turkey! Just when you thought they couldn’t get crazier. This time it’s from Naftali Bennett who may replace Netanyanu. [Bennett’s another Israeli war criminal who is responsible for the Qana Massacre of a UN compound on April 18, 1996, Naftali later said “I’ve killed a lot of Arabs in my life and there’s no problem with that”.You can probably imagine Turkey’s reaction. 

26 February, 2026: PM Modi of India goes to Israel, signs mutual security cooperation. India’s going to regret this very soon. India is 80% dependent on Persian Gulf oil, 

*February 2026: Iran makes deal with China to acquire CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles. This follows last December’s 500 million Euro deal where Iran will buy thousands of advanced shoulder fired missiles from Russia. https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/iran-eastern-states/artc-iran-poised-to-acquire-advanced-chinese-anti-ship-missiles-report

02 March, 2026: Special note, Along with hitting every other ME country housing American assets, Iran hits Oman port of Duqm where American Navy gets oil and anchors.

04 March, 2026: US submarine Charlotte blows up unarmed Iranian frigate that was invited by India to do joint exercises off Sri Lanka, 2,000 miles from Iran. 84 sailors killed,60 missing. US sub did not render aid to wounded in the water. is said to have been a participant in the exercises. This is a) a war crime and b) expands the war to anywhere in the global theater–which, if our idiots in Washington were able to think about it, works both ways. (Remember the US blowing up the Nordstream pipeline in 2022. Any motivated group could do that to pipelines and storage depots from Maine to Texas, Anacortes to Alaska. Girl Scouts could take any of them out).

07 March, 2026: To protect Israel, the US is beginning to cannibalize missile defense platforms that were supposed to protect Japan, South Korea, and elsewhere. 

07 March 2026: Strategic Petroleum Reserve supply in India is 9 to 9 1/2 days. So, they’ve petitioned the US for an exemption of Russian oil embargo. The Russian Federation has offered to supply India with oil. It would have to go via the Pacific or around Africa but they can do it (which is going to happen, so once again, Russia benefits from this conflict).

07 March 2026: China, on the other hand, has a 253 day Petroleum Reserve supply. They can ride this out in style.

Russia is making an extra $150 million per day on oil sales over what they were making before the US closed the Strait of Hormuz.India, with just 9 days of oil in their strategic reserve, is begging Russia to sell them oil. US Secretary of the Treasury, and imperious turd,  Scott Bessent (remember he’s the one who tried to crush Iran’s economy last December 29th) announces, “We have given [India] permission to accept Russian oil”. Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov lectured India for supporting the US instead of a fellow BRICS country and according to reports, India, instead getting the BRICS discount will have to pay a premium.

Japan and South Korea watch as American missile interceptors are pulled out and given to Israel. 

19 March, 2026: Announced this week that Iran will sell oil to Japan (which is nearly out) so long as Japan pays in Chinese yuan instead of American dollars. Assuming other countries will follow suit, this will accelerate collapse of US dollar hegemony.

28 March, 2026: Thailand strikes deal with Iran for safe passage of vessels through Strait of Hormuz. Add them to China, Russia, India, Iraq, Pakistan, and Japan. who are getting safe passage through the Strait.

Russia regularly supplying more missiles to Iran via the Caspian Sea. 

Lost Narrative In Global South: 

February 5, 2026: Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid calls Jewish Council of Australia, “servile lackeys of Hamas” 

March 28, 2026: Trump threatens to attack Cuba. “Cuba’s next.” 

Lost Narrative in Israel: 

February 28, 2026: Israelis very excited that their dream war with Iran has finally started. Within days they deeply regret it. 

March 6:  After Iran takes out US radar bases that supplied Israel with missile tracking, Iran starts pounding Israel. Israelis can’t believe it. Israeli government bans reporters from showing damage. Arrests some. But with  so much it starts getting out. 

Hezbollah is back in the fight attacking Israel. Israelis can’t believe it. Israel has been happily bombing Lebanon almost daily since the cease-fire both countries signed on November 27, 2024. Israeli government said Hezbollah had been ‘decapitated’ in September of 2024 when it wounded thousands of Lebanese (military and civilian) with exploding beepers. Now Hezbollah is driving Israelis out of Southern Lebanon and attacking Northern Israel.

90,000 Israeli reservists called up, 30,000 of them don’t report for duty. They don’t want to fight armed men who fight back. 

8 March, 2026: Iran, having used a lot of it’s older inventory to force Israel to use up anti-missile stocks, now firing 3rd generation solid fuel, Kheibar missiles that Israeli air defenses are unable to stop. These missiles have a range of 900 miles, a payload of 500-1500 kg, can be fired 3 at a time from chassis that can then slip back out of sight.

Israeli Mossad agents reported caught in false flag attacks/attempts (that Israel would blame on Iran) in Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan and Turkey. There was an attack on Cyprus base that may be Mossad led with Israel trying to bring in NATO countries against Iran. 

March 13,2006: End of Week 2 of War  Israeli/US war with Iran: Israelis getting pounded and are terrified. Iranians using fewer, but more advanced missiles, including cluster bombs with up to 80 canisters with 20 kg of explosives each. These fly at Mach 10, the canisters separate out above the target, and are steerable. Nothing in the western arsenal can stop them. Israelis say cluster bombs are terrible–forgetting they fired 4 million of them at Lebanon in 2006. Israelis not getting any sleep. Iran has knocked out early warning technology to the point where missiles are hitting with little to no warning. Israelis trying to leave Israel, most can’t because ports and airports closed. Hezbollah took out top technical facilities in northern Israel this week.

March 14, 2026: Amidst viral internet speculation that Netanyahu is wounded/dead/hiding outside Israel. Netanyahu does not appear at the National Security Briefing. Instead it’s run by Defense Minister Katz.

March 20, 2026: Iran launches 68th wave of missiles. Massive damage in Israel. Colonel Larry Wilkerson estimates 3 to 4% of Israelis would be dead or wounded if they didn’t have the bunker/tunnel shelters. Iran firing an estimated  60-100 missiles/day. Having used up their older stocks so Israel would waste it’s anti ballistic missile defense capability, Iran now firing more recent missiles that hit harder and penetrate Iron Dome consistently. Including the Kuramshaw4 (sp) with a payload between 30-40 explosive canisters of explosives that blossom out at 4X the speed of sound before impact. Israelis, not used to being hit, are increasingly angry at leadership for not protecting them.

28 March,2026: Israeli Air Force Major indicted for leaking details on timing of Israeli June 2025 strikes on Iran so he could make $244,000 on polymarket betting. 

28 March, 2026: Ben Gurion Airport effectively closed. Schools closed. People aren’t sleeping due to fear and sleeping in bomb shelters. Israeli government accused of not protecting poorer communities and Mizrahi citizens from Hezbollah. 

Lost Narrative in the Middle East Gulf States: 

After US assassinated Iranian General Qassam Sulimani on January 08, 2020, the Ayatollah Kahmenei said a goal of Iran would be elimination of US bases in the region.

February, 28,2026: After Israel/US attack on Iran during peace negotiations, Iran bombs every American base in the Gulf and shuts down the Strait of Hormuz. In the Middle East and in other parts of the world stability has long been perceived to be held together by American strength. Now world sees that America can’t even protect a million of it’s own people in the region. As noted elsewhere, US can’t protect vassal Arab states in the region and is cannibalizing air defense assets from around the world to protect Israel.

February, 28, 2026: Murder of Ayatollah who was spiritual leader of 200 million Shia Muslims, ignites the faith at once: 
01 March, 2026 US Embassy in Baghdad stormed by furious protesters.
01 March, 2026: US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan stormed by furious protesters. US Marines guarding consulate kill 10, wound others. Further inflaming the Middle East.

01 March, 2026: Massive Protests erupt in Bahrain, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, elsewhere (Bahrain is home of US 5th fleet in Manama, and is getting pounded by Iran). Bahrain is 70%-80% Shia Muslim but ruled by Sunis. For more see

Reports that the US tomahawk missiles that murdered the 175 girls at the girl’s school were fired from Bahrain, which Iran is pounding. Also unverified reports the King of Bahrain has fled the country.

March 7, 2026: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian apologizes to all the Persian Gulf States Iran bombed this week. He took responsibility for it saying that after last June’s attack by Israel Iran had been divided into 12 autonomous military zones, some of which fired without orders when Israel/US attacked on February 28, 2026. Iran won’t attack them again so long as Israeli/US attacks don’t come at Iran from those countries. While Israel/US propaganda portrays this apology as weakness, former US diplomat Chas Freeman considers it a diplomatic coup that does multiple things:  1) Allows Gulf Arab states to save face after Iran smacked them down, 2) Puts Gulf states on notice they’ll be targeted again if they allow attacks at Iran  to come from their countries. 3) Suggests, without saying outright, that the Gulf states should not allow Israel/US to rebuild the bases and they should kick the US out of the region.

March 13, 2026: End of  2nd week of Israel/US war against Iran: Formerly a playground for the rich, there’s a massive exodus of people out of Persian Gulf. People who’d invested there are pulling their money out. Gulf states out of missile interceptors and are defenseless. Iran can hit them at will but for the most part doesn’t. Instead, Iran is making noises that it may let them send oil through the Gulf if they get rid of US bases.  Compradors fleeing wealthy Gulf states and taking money of the billionaires to safer havens. Amazon data center in Dubai hit with missile. 90% of UAE population is ex-patriots and they’re heading for the exits.

March: Hundreds of merchant ships and about 20,000 remain stuck in Persian Gulf because they can’t transit Strait of Hormuz

March 14, 2026: Iran destroyed five KC-135 tankers on the tarmac at Prince Sultan airport in Saudi Arabia. Iran continues to militarily and diplomatically chastise Gulf state monarchies. 

March 20, 2026: The Houthi are standing-by to thwart Gulf state plans avoid Strait of Hormuz by shipping petroleum via the Red Sea. They have put Gulf states on notice that they (Houthi) will attack states that shoot down Houthi missiles headed for Israel. 

March 24, 2026: Iran is operating the Strait of Hormuz as a toll booth. Charging tankers bound for ports Iran approves. Shippers are required to pay in Chinese yuan. Israel/US and their allies still banned. Worth noting: Just before ” Trump announced halt of his threat to bomb Iranian infrastructure, which the Iranians had said would result in immediate, heavy retribution to Israel and the Gulf Arabs, and result in Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz…15 minutes before the announcement, about 2 $ trillion moved in the oil futures market. Somebody made a lot of money betting on that sharp fall in prices followed by a bounce back.” former US Ambassador Chas Freeman. (in the same podcast Freeman rejected claims Iran had mined the Strait of Hormuz. “Why would you mine a toll road that you control?”
Further, Chas noted that Nixon took US off the gold standard in 1971 making the US dollar a fiat currency. [eg. it’s just paper backed by holders’ belief that it’s worth something]. After the 1973/74 Arab oil embargo [which came about because US saved Israel when Egypt attacked it in ’73 because Israel wouldn’t give back the Sinai]. The US, under Gerald R Ford Administration, Secretary of the Treasury Simon, and Henry Kissinger made a deal with Gulf Arab states” that the huge increases in oil prices from the Embargo would be solved by investing windfall profits in the United States. [That is, instead of being backed by gold, the US dollar would be backed by oil.] It’s been that way ever since. Without oil, the US dollar is just a piece of paper backed by a fiscal policy that doesn’t work, astronomical debt, a sort of Ponzi scheme going on in borrowing by the US Treasury, the Fed stepping in and basically lending money to itself. This all comes crashing down sooner or later. And what we’re doing now probably makes it sooner.”

28 March, 2026: IRGC warns Gulf States to keep their people away from US bases. 

29 March, 2026: Iran took out Kuwait desalination Plant that provided 35% of Kuwait’s fresh water. UAD income down 83%, oil/trade/tourism/real estate all pretty much gone. 

 Lost Narrative Worldwide: 

late February, 2026: Trump’s dishonorable, unqualified diplomats Witkoff and Kushner meet in Geneva with Iranian negotiators. Not in the same room. They have an Omani intermediary going back and forth between rooms. The world recognizes this is most likely a stalling tactic as US moves more of the war machine towards Middle East. (Things were going well enough that the hopeful Omani diplomat flew to Washington on the 26th to brief Vice President Vance.) World sees US can’t be trusted.

US enabling and participating in Israeli attack on Iran during peace negotiations puts world on notice that American government has no honor can not be trusted. This is not only the end of Israel. It signals the end of the American Empire. 

++28 February, 2026: Israel closes Church of the Holy Sepulchre to Christian worship (first time in history of Christianity this 4th Century church built where Jesus was buried and rose from the dead, has been closed for Easter holy days since the beginning of Christianity) and Al Aqsa Mosque to Muslims. Both churches remain closed, as of March 28, 2026. Israel closed and blockaded all entrances to the mosques to Muslims for Eid prayers the end of Ramadan 2026. General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, General Secretariat of the League of Arab States, and the African Union Commission proclaimed closure of Al Aqsa “a grave violation of the existing historical and legal status quo in the Islamic and Christian Holy sites in the occupied city of Jerusalem.”

March 2026 By cutting off oil from Gulf, Iran is also cutting off half the world’s supply of fertilizer just weeks before planting season in the northern hemisphere. 

March 1, 2026: Among targets Iran hits:  Synagogue in Beit Shemesh with 500 kg war head, killing 9 in a bomb shelter under the building. Zionist media tries to play the victim card portraying Biet Shemesh as a ‘small town’ residential suburb. Schadenfreude pours in from the world..  In fact, it has 176,000 and abuts Sdot Micha military base where Israel’s nuclear tipped Jericho missiles are kept. Possible reasons the missile hit where it did: 1) The Iranians missed the base which was about 1 km away. 2) Israeli anti-ballistic missile fire deflected the missile as Israel tried to shoot it down. 3) Iran didn’t want to hit the nuclear weapons but wanted Israel to know they could.

March 9, 2026: Donald Trump tells reporters Iran blew up the girl’s school. World is sickened. Asked about it two days later when US Defense Department had admitted US missiles killed the little girls, Trump said he didn’t know anything about that.

13 March, 2026: LNG/Oil/and 35% of the world’s fertilizer no longer coming through the Strait of Hormuz a few weeks before planting season, parts of the world face coming food shortages and, potentially famine. 

14 March, 2026: Increasingly desperate, deranged, and helpless, Donald Trump calls on Japan, South Korea, China, France, Britain and others to send war ships to keep the Strait of Hormuz “open and safe”. He posted on social media “Many countries…will be sending War Ships…” Message from around the world,  “See Ya. Wouldn’t wanna be Ya.” Trump quite peevish that no one is willing to get their ship’s blown up for what he started.

19 March, 2026: Israelis deliberately target British journalist Steve Sweeney and his camera man with air strike as they’re filming. They hit the ground, missile strikes just past them. They survive. Footage viral and all honest outlets mention Israel has killed more journalists than all other countries in the world combined. The missile Israel fired was a small GBU made in USA, fired from a jet made in USA.

20 March, 2026: In what is a seismic financial shift, Iran will allow Japan bound tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz but only if they pay in Chinese yuan.  Thus begins the exit of US dollar hegemony.

++21 March,2026: 4th Century Church of the Holy Sepulchre remains closed. Church was officially shut by Israel on February 28, 2026. It’s the place Christians believe Jesus was buried and rose from the dead. This church hold services for Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Coptic, Syriac, and Ethiopian Christian worshipers.

++26 March, 2026: Israel bans Palestinian Christian teachers from working in Jerusalem Christian schools. About  230 Christian teachers from the West Bank will no longer be able to teach at their schools in Jerusalem, furthering Israeli plans to drive Christians from the Holy Land.

March 29/30, 2026: 3 UN peace keepers from Indonesia killed in Lebanon. Next day, The New York Times and the BBC immediately ran headlines that the peace keepers were killed by a roadside bomb. (UN would determine in April that the peace keepers were  killed by an Israeli 120 mm round fired from a Merkava tank).

March 30, 2026: 5th week of war: In addition to the deaths and physical destruction, US and much of the world now in recession and heading toward worldwide depression. And famine, too because a third of the world’s fertilizer was coming through the Strait of Hormuz. Now, we are told, the US/Israeli goals are no longer stopping Iran’s nuclear enrichment, no longer regime change, no longer stopping Iranian ballistic missile program, no longer stopping Iran from helping groups resisting Israel, no longer making Iran disarm Hamas for Israel. The goal, we are told, is to open the Strait of Hormuz–which was open until last month before Israel and the United States started bombing Iran.

March 30, 2026: Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi, tells UN that 600 schools in Iran have been bombed, hospitals, nursery schools, nursing homes, ambulances, water sources, food sources, and it’s ALL A PRODUCT OF THE WORLD IGNORING PALESTINE. 

March 31, 2026: Story breaks of Israel torturing a Gaza toddler in front of his father to extract a confession from his father. They burned the little boy’s inner thighs with cigarettes, then returned  him alone to his family. Father still in custody. World sickened.

March 31, 2026: Israeli Parliament advances law to execute Palestinians accused of  terrorism against Israleis by hanging. Remember when Israelis were all wearing yellow ribbon lapel pins last year?
