THIS ENDS BADLY!

    We may all start using capital lock in the end! 

    Still, it is difficult to imagine that the President of the most powerful country in the world can send day after day messages as the one below and be taken seriously. 

   Trump was tricked into the war by Netanyahu, believing it would be a cake walk as in Venezuela and realizing it is in fact a quagmire, doesn't know what to do, short of doubling down as in a Las Vegas Casino.    

   What was easy to bomb in Iran has been bombed. What's left are mostly civilian targets such as bridges and power plants. Although painful for the population, this will have no effect whatsoever on the country. 

   As discussed earlier in our Hormuz article, attacking the Hormuz Strait in Summer when the temperature is above 50C (125F) is impossible. And at any other time, the geography makes it extremely difficult. 

   Trump is stuck! His blockade will quickly put him in direct confrontation with China. (He probably can say goodbye to his trip to Beijing next month.) And the price of gas in the US will explode which will alienate the few remaining MAGA fanatics. 

   What could go wrong for us when everything goes wrong for a man like Trump? 

   "Faites vos jeux! Rien ne va plus!" 

   Or should the President of the United States of America be removed using the 25th Amendment of the Constitution?  

With The Ceasefire Dead, The Mad Max Scenario is Now the Most Likely Outcome

   "Houston, we have a Problem!" But who could Trump or anybody else call in Houston these days to fix a problem of his own making? 

   By early May, gasoline will become scarce in many countries of Europe and Asia. In the Gulf, food and many goods will start disappearing. 

   Then the financial crisis, (Not a new one, just the one which was never solved in 2008) will flare again, fiercer. Money will become cheap and inflation explode. 

   After than, it becomes unpredictable. With or without a Third World War, the world will starve this Autumn thanks to the fertilizers which are not being exported from the Gulf right now for the planting season. 

   And the world will have, mostly, Israel to thank for it as explained below!

Introduction: The Flicker of Hope, Extinguished

I watched the so-called ceasefire announcement with a sense of exhausted disbelief, a feeling I suspect many of you shared. Here we are, in April 2026, and the charade continues. President Donald Trump, fresh from his 2024 victory, declared a ‘two-way ceasefire’ with Iran, a move breathlessly reported by the corporate press as a diplomatic triumph. I knew better. It was a strategic surrender, a desperate act of market manipulation by a regime that has long since abandoned any pretense of statesmanship. And it lasted, by my count, about as long as it took for the social media posts to go viral.

By the time I sat down to write something thoughtful, Israel was already striking again. The off-ramp we were offered was a mirage, a twelve-hour illusion. This event isn’t just another broken promise in a long line of Middle Eastern betrayals. In my view, it is the definitive proof that the path of good-faith diplomacy with the current Zionist regime in Israel is a dead end. Its shattering reactivates the most dire global survival scenario I have long warned about: the descent into a resource-starved, hyper-violent, ‘Mad Max’ future. The dystopian military vehicles described in reports from other war zones, looking “straight out of Mad Max,” are no longer a cinematic metaphor. They are the preview of our coming reality.

We Tried The Off-Ramp. It Lasted Twelve Hours.

The ceasefire was dead before the ink was dry. Reports confirm that even as Trump was framing his announcement, Israeli forces were resuming bombing campaigns in Lebanon, blatantly violating the fleeting peace. This isn’t an anomaly; it’s a pattern. For months, Israel has escalated attacks across Lebanon, assassinating commanders and killing civilians, all while paying lip service to agreements. The event proves what I’ve long argued based on a deep study of history and current events: there is no good-faith partner for peace in Tel Aviv.

The regime’s nature is one of perpetual, expansionist war. As historian Ilan Pappe meticulously documents, Israeli strategy has long been based on a doctrine of incremental conquest and control, treating occupied territories as a “prison” and populations as subjects to be managed through terror. The failure of this latest diplomatic pantomime isn’t just a setback; it’s a tripwire. It signals that the last restraints are off. The global supply chains for energy, fertilizer, and food, already teetering from Houthi disruptions in the Red Sea, cannot be secured as long as this malevolent actor exists in its current, metastasizing form. The failure reactivates the survival scenario where the Strait of Hormuz closes, oil hits $300, and global civilization begins its violent, fragmented collapse.

The Core Obstacle Is Not Iran. It Is Israel.

Let’s be brutally clear: this entire escalating crisis, which threatens to drag the world into a third world war, is driven by a single, malevolent actor committed to perpetual conflict. It is not Iran, despite the relentless propaganda. It is the Zionist regime in Israel. Its publicly stated refusal to honor ceasefires reveals its true goal: regional destabilization and territorial conquest, not security. Its military actions are not defensive but are acts of state terrorism, designed to provoke wider war.

This is not a conflict between equals. It is a genocidal campaign by a nuclear-armed apartheid state. Israel’s bombing of over 60 hospitals in Gaza and Lebanon is a deliberate strategy of targeting medical infrastructure and civilians. Their goal is the elimination of Palestinian life and the intimidation of their neighbors. Our world’s fragile systems cannot endure this. As I have discussed in interviews, Israel functions as a proxy nation for controlling energy resources, and its actions are designed to create the very volatility that could strangle global trade. The core obstacle to global stability and human survival is, therefore, the continued existence of the State of Israel in its current, expansionist, and satanic form.

The ‘Agreement’ Is A Charade. Trump’s Only Function Is Market Manipulation.

The White House’s contradictory statements in the wake of the ‘deal’ expose the entire exercise as pure financial theater. One moment there’s a ceasefire, the next Iran is denying it, and strikes continue. This isn’t diplomacy; it’s a volatility engine for financial markets. Trump’s remaining purpose in this theater is not to govern, but to create precisely the kind of confusion that allows his inner circle to profit on oil futures, prediction markets, and defense stocks.

His insane, contradictory social media posts serve no strategic purpose other than to inject uncertainty into the system. As noted in analysis of his administration’s trends, Trump believes being a ‘tough guy’ and throwing around threats is a strategy in itself. The ‘ceasefire’ was likely a maneuver to temporarily calm oil markets after weeks of bombing Iranian infrastructure. But as the immediate resumption of bombing shows, the war — and the profit opportunity — was never intended to stop. The entire U.S. political and media apparatus is complicit in this charade, selling a narrative of peace while enabling a genocide for geopolitical and financial gain.

Only One Path Remains To Avert Global Collapse: Dismantling Israel

I have reached a conclusion that may shock some, but it is borne of relentless observation: peaceful coexistence with the current Zionist regime is impossible. Its foundational ideology is genocidal and rooted in a satanic disregard for human life, as evidenced by its leaders’ own statements and the gruesome reality on the ground in Gaza. Therefore, I believe the only solution to avert a global Mad Max collapse is the complete, forcible dismantling of the State of Israel as it currently exists.

This is not a call for violence against Jewish people or any other people. It is a call for the surgical removal of a parasitic, world-destroying genocidal regime. The process must involve the arrest of its political and military leaders for crimes against humanity, the confiscation and dismantling of its illicit nuclear arsenal, and the revocation of its recognition at the United Nations. Its territory must be transitioned to a secular, democratic state with equal rights for all inhabitants — Jews, Muslims, Christians, and others. As former U.S. President Jimmy Carter outlined, the cycle of violence is perpetuated by Israel’s refusal to negotiate in good faith and its policy of overwhelming retaliation. That cycle must be broken decisively, from the outside, for the sake of all humanity.

Why Neither Party Will Act — And Why We Must

Do not look to Washington for salvation. The Democratic Party is just as bought and paid for by Israeli lobbyists as the Republicans. They have funded every step of this genocide and will not meaningfully denounce it. This means electoral politics as usual offers no path out of this nightmare. Our vote, if we choose to participate in the corrupted system at all, must be based on a single, non-negotiable issue: the categorical rejection of any candidate who receives funding from pro-Israel PACs or who refuses to call for an immediate end to all aid and the dismantling of the regime.

Here’s why this matters at the most personal level: our survival now depends on recognizing Israel as the primary enemy of human continuity. As global systems fracture, self-reliance becomes paramount. This means decentralizing your life. Grow your own organic food to escape the poisoned, centralized food supply. Detox your body from the pollutants of this dying civilization. Move your wealth into honest money — physical gold and silver as a hedge against the coming fiat currency collapse. Use decentralized platforms like Brighteon.social for communication and BrightAnswers.ai for uncensored research. Your personal preparedness is the only politics that matters now.

The ceasefire is dead. The path of pleading with our corrupt institutions is dead. All that remains is the clear-eyed recognition of the threat and the committed action to build resilient, independent lives in the shadow of the coming storm. The choice is between succumbing to the globalist-driven collapse or fighting for a future defined by truth, liberty, and life. I know which side I’m on. I’m on the side of humanity. Israel, on the other hand, is on the side of death and destruction.

⚡ALERT: Well That Was Quick... STRAIT CLOSED AGAIN. by Canadian Prepper (Video - 33mn)

   As expected it is back to war tonight! 

   We need to leave it to Canadian Prepper to use the right amount of expletives to qualify the Trump Administration in the video below. These people are little more than criminals and the only, flimsy, hope is that the rest of the world, i,e, China, Russia, India and other BRICS nations can summon the courage to say stop to this nonsense. 

   It is of course very unlikely to happen and therefore, almost on schedule, we will see the start of World War III in the coming months, maybe weeks. It is at this stage almost unavoidable.     

⚡ALERT: Well That Was Quick... STRAIT CLOSED AGAIN.

 

The Coming End of Privacy on the Internet (Video - 20mn)

   Soon you won't be able to log on to the Internet without a Microsoft online account. The age verification systems that most countries are putting in place will oblige most applications in order to be compliant to confirm your age and to do that you will have to have a Microsoft account linked to your machine. 

   The video below on YouTube is technical but explains very well why it will soon become impossible to bypass the system since it is based on the TPM  (Trusted Platform Module), a hardware, not a software that every new machine must possess in order to be able to run Windows 11.  

   If you are already running a Linux based operating system, you may be immune for a while but this probably won't last long since one by one most applications will stop working on Linux, unless "Linux" implements a similar scheme to Microsoft which by design is impossible.  

   So what should you do? Well, most people will do exactly nothing and will comply with the new requirement, saying goodbye to privacy. Was it that important to start with? 

   I did try to install Linux Ubuntu that I have been using for almost 15 years now on some of my friends computers. It usually lasted a week during which they enjoyed the new features and ease of use of Ubuntu. Then about a week later, they discovered that an "essential" application wasn't working with Linux. I would show them an alternative which invariably was dismissed as less convenient or incompatible with another software. And lo, requested to de-install Linux and revert to Windows immediately.

Meteorologists Warn About a Super El Nino Event

   Finally some climate change worth having! 

   Never mind the fact that we do not fully understand why ANY of the cycles exist to start with, be it the 11-year solar cycle or the chaotic El Nino cycle, the narrative will squeeze the juice out of the event to justify further tightening in Europe and restrictions elsewhere since humans are obviously the cause of these natural but repurposed events. 

   Great timing too in fact since the war with Iran will trigger a recession which would of course never have happened otherwise, requiring tightening of demand beyond what normal recessions usually achieve. 

   Unfortunately we have left solid ground if there ever was such a thing and entered the fuzzy land of narrative where what governments say is the truth policed by restrictive laws and compliant medias becoming de facto virtual truths.   

   I was shocked recently to realize that most people I talk to believe that mankind never went to the Moon and were conversely genuinely surprised that I didn't share this "belief" since I tend to be on the conspiracy side.  

   The truth is that propaganda works. Most people do not bother looking further than the headlines and gobble up the fast-think narrative which is served to them daily. Life is already hard enough, why bother "thinking" on top of it all? 

   Good news: With AI, soon, thinking will become optional. 

   And Global Warming is coming our way this Summer!  

Meteorologists Warn About Super El Nino Event

Weather forecasters are sounding the alarm about what could become a "super" El Niño event, potentially one of the strongest on record.

"Strongest El Niño on record this year?!" meteorologist Ben Noll wrote on X. Noll said the latest ECMWF outlook indicates a 75% chance of a super El Niño by October, with "some scenarios suggesting the most intense event in more than a century."

Noll said, "El Niño forming by May, potentially becoming strong by August — new ECMWF seasonal modeling."

Latest El Niño odds:

• 22% chance of a super El Niño by August

• 80% chance of a strong event

• 98% chance of a moderate event

Meteorologist Ryan Maue noted:

Impacts for agri traders:

If that scenario materializes, it could shift weather patterns worldwide, increasing the risk of flooding in some regions, drought and wildfires in others, and further raising global temperatures. An El Niño event typically strengthens the Pacific jet stream and redistributes heat and moisture globally.

Across the U.S., an El Niño influences seasonal rainfall, especially during winter. The stronger, more active jet stream typically shifts south, bringing wetter-than-average conditions to the southern U.S., including California, the Gulf Coast, and the Mid-South.

The good news is that El Niño reduces Atlantic hurricane activity.

Remember, left-wing corporate media is just a few months away from firing up the "hottest ever" global warming headlines to peddle junk climate science.

Global warming doomers, such as Greta, have shifted more recently from climate alarmism to Palestine activism. It is all about following the money. 

Europe's Climate Policy Forces Industry Into Retreat; Even Its Critics Are Folding

    The war with Iran clearly is the black swan event that everyone expected to happen without of course knowing exactly what it would be. Now we do. 

   Amazingly, although the world is about to change utterly, conversely, current powers are showing us day after day that they will NOT change thereby accelerating their downfall. 

   The emergence of cheap drones against which the US has for now little more than expensive anti-missile systems reminds us the Huns with their horse riding techniques defeating the Roman army on foot, with speed and flexibility in the 5th Century CE.  

   Likewise the outdated strategy of the Israel Army against Hezbollah with columns of tanks falling into traps and being destroyed by cheap and extremely efficient manpads looks 50 years out of time.   

   But the most outrageous example is certainly that of Europe as explained below by Thomas Kolbe which while staring at the abyss energy-wise is doubling down on its industrial and civilizational destroying policies. 

   While the world, i.e. more specifically the Global Supply Chain on which its prosperity was built over the last 70 years is falling apart, Europe finds nothing better to do than waging war against... CO2. Eventually, the continent will find itself with no army, no industry and a crumbling social order with absolutely nothing to show for its efforts. Paris, London and most other European cities will become later-day Venices, beautiful but completely emptied of their economic vitality and of course prosperity. The worst is that the wound will be completely self-inflicted. 

   What a lesson of history! We can now understand far more vividly how and why Rome was reduced to ruins, and Venice to its open-air museum status. They in fact never ceased being themselves. Rome, the center of a long gone empire and Venice of an extinct trade network while the world around them was being transformed.    

Europe's Climate Policy Forces Industry Into Retreat; Even Its Critics Are Folding

by Thomas Kolbe

In the media business, five months is an eternity. And it does indeed seem like an eternity has passed since Christian Kullmann, CEO of the German chemical giant Evonik, sharply criticized European climate policy at the end of October.

At the time, Kullmann gave an interview to Süddeutsche Zeitung, in which he called—if not for the outright abolition—then at least for a significant weakening of the EU-wide CO₂ emissions trading system, given the dramatic state of the economy.

Kullmann rightly pointed out that there is probably no stricter CO₂ regime anywhere in the world than in the EU. And since the climate, as we know, has no borders, he argued it makes little sense to disadvantage domestic cutting-edge technology in this way. He explicitly referred to the costly CO₂ trading system, which drained a staggering €21.4 billion from the German economy last year alone—under the banner of climate policy through this relatively new mechanism.

Five months after these remarkable statements—briefly breaking the long-standing silence of German industrial leaders—the question must be asked whether there is anywhere else in the world a comparable project to the EU’s CO₂ regime. With the United States abandoning its policy of artificial energy scarcity, its war on conventional energy production, and heavy-handed regulation of its own industrial base, the EU now stands alone in its ideological campaign against economic rationality. No one else seems willing to join the chorus of Europe’s climate apocalypticism.

This European isolationism may elsewhere be perceived as a form of late-stage counter-colonization—a return flow of capital from remorseful Europeans willing to accept self-imposed sacrifice to help other regions get back on their feet. Around the world, this selflessly naive “degrowth suicide” is welcomed, as it delivers not only so-called climate support from European funds but, more importantly, accelerated industrial investment from European companies—served on a silver platter by eco-socialist policymakers. A civilizational ingredient that, it seems, Europe itself now believes it can do without.

In China, one has learned to remain quiet when a geopolitical rival makes mistake after mistake—as is currently the case with European climate policy. Energy-intensive firms like Evonik are penalized by CO₂ pricing with an artificial competitive disadvantage. Once embedded in political and administrative structures, this amounts to a genuine stimulus program for foreign industrial locations.

At the same time, China—like the increasingly deregulated United States under President Donald Trump—is developing a powerful vacuum effect in global capital markets. The world is benefiting from German engineering and European capital.

This dynamic is particularly evident in the chemical industry. As a highly energy-intensive sector, it has suffered one of the hardest blows from European climate policy, alongside the automotive industry. Kullmann’s warning about the erosion of economic foundations was more than justified—but it came far too late and remained, for a time, a lone voice in the wilderness.

Since 2018, Germany’s chemical industry has lost roughly a quarter of its production capacity. The sector is operating at an average capacity utilization of just 70%, a level that reflects a sectoral depression not seen in Germany since the end of World War II.

Yet the worse the economic situation becomes, the more firmly German policymakers cling to their belief in the green transformation. Corporate silence is secured by a massive subsidy machine, just as the sympathetic media sector provides the shrill soundtrack to the broader economic decline.

Tactically astute from a media standpoint, Brussels—under pressure from European industry—has agreed to ease some pressure from the CO₂ cost burden. The European Commission is expected to temporarily freeze the volume of circulating certificates within the market stability reserve in order to stabilize prices.

For Evonik CEO Kullmann, the outcome presented by Brussels appears acceptable. His once sharp criticism of the CO₂ mechanism has mysteriously vanished into the media ether. The change of heart clearly follows the promise of further subsidies.

A destructive mechanism has emerged between large corporations and an eco-socialist political leadership. At the media level, corporate executives and political actors stage a kind of ping-pong game that simulates critical debate and conflicting interests at the highest levels of decision-making.

Evidently, there is no willingness to even slow down the ongoing transfer of wealth—from the productive sectors of society to politically favored extractive sectors such as the green economy—even amid prolonged economic stagnation. The economic and social consequences of this policy are, for now, being conveniently ignored in both Brussels and Berlin.
