And just like that what was already a terrible day for fans of deflation – not to mention Biden and the Fed -got worse – when moments ago oil soared by over $1 per barrel, with WTI jumping above $86 and Brent over $90…
… after a Bloomberg report that the US sees a missile strike on Israel by Iran and proxies as “imminent” to wit:
The US and its allies believe major missile or drone strikes by Iran or its proxies against military and government targets in Israel are imminent, in what would mark a significant widening of the six-month-old conflict, according to people familiar with the intelligence.
The potential assault, possibly using high-precision missiles, may happen in the coming days, the people said, requesting anonymity to discuss confidential matters. It is seen as more a matter of when, not if, one of the people said, based on assessments from US and Israeli intelligence.
Iran has threatened to hit Israel in retaliation for an attack on a diplomatic compound in the Syrian capital of Damascus last week that killed senior Iranian military officials. Israel has not explicitly acknowledged it was behind that attack, though it has traditionally followed a policy of ambiguity on operations in Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.

US and Western intelligence indicates an attack from Iran and its proxies may not necessarily come from Israel’s north, where Tehran’s ally Hezbollah in Lebanon is located, the people said.
US and Western intelligence indicates an attack from Iran and its proxies may not necessarily come from Israel’s north, where Tehran’s ally Hezbollah in Lebanon is located, the people said. Israeli officials are in agreement with the allied view. They’ve also publicly threatened Iran that if it hits Israeli soil, Israel will hit Iranian soil.
Earlier on Wednesday Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei repeated a vow to retaliate against Israel for the Damascus strike, which he said was tantamount to an attack on Iranian territory.
And while the Bloomberg report said nothing we haven’t already reported, perhaps it was the urgency of the headline or the market’s hypersensitivity to anything that can push inflation even higher, that sparked the powerful reaction. Ironically, the news hit just moments after we correctly predicted that the idiotic Biden puppetmasters are about to push the world into yet another catastrophic war.
The good news: Boeing stock is a buy here.

I am guessing and I am probably wrong, but Iran “might” wait until Passover to bomb Israel. I say that because Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus during Ramadan.
Passover already happened. That’s how you know these Jews are fake.
Passover is not till April 22
Possum blood over the door works well. That must have been some kind of scary event “back then”.
probably blood of the goyim tbh

” US intel. sees ”
we are planning some things
We predictively programmed some folks.
Escalate and Israel will use nukes, which they supposedly don’t have. This could get bad.
Scott Ritter told Judge Nap yesterday that he thought Israel would quickly resort to “tactical nukes” in a fight against Hezbollah – the smallest of which is 5 kilotons. Hiroshima was 15 kt and Nagasaki was 22 kt. Ritter said that aside from some isotopes in the air, they (and the US) could pretend they’d been conventional weapons.
Some day one of our flat-earthers should explain why believing in flat earth also compels them to believe nukes are fake. Aside from “everything you’ve been told is a lie”.
Because of human nature.
If someone told you that the US military had developed a technology whereby no soldier could ever be wounded or killed again in combat and then engaged in a half century of warfare where all the soldiers continued to be wounded or get killed, would you believe that the technology existed but they were holding back or that they were telling a lie in order to check any threat of war from rivals?
Human beings do not beat the 4 minute mile and promptly stop running. They do not climb to the top of a mountain and then decide it is not worth ever climbing it again. They do not make engines that run in air and then continue to use gas powered ones.
I don’t care what kind of story you are willing to believe or what reason you have for continuing to trust those who have never spoken the truth in your lifetime, that’s your prerogative.
I trust in what I absolutely know from first hand experience, what I am told by trustworthy people with a long track record of being honest, and anything that conforms with the nature of a thing.
If we had nukes, they’d have continued to use them. If they went to the Moon, they’d be there right now. And if the other things that they say are true were true, they wouldn’t manufacture fraudulent evidence to prove what is true, they’d just prove it with accurate, indisputable facts and data.
If nukes were real you’re going to have to explain why both cities that were nuked are inhabited by five times as many people, none of whom exhibit any signs of having survived radiation while other sites are closed permanently because they are radioactive to this day.
None of us knows what they do or do not have but we’re all free to conjecture based on our personal approach to reason, logic and common sense.
I think that they are as full of shit about this as they are and have been about every other thing they have ever said and done in my lifetime.
You do you.
I’m not going to argue whether there are nukes or not because I honestly have no idea but your theory seems sound.
That said, they can do a lot of damage with some big conventional bombs, can they not?
Fair enough. Persuasive even. I’ll think more about it.
But they did use the shit out of them in the 50s.
You saw one?
you saw jesus?
In other words HSF is a relativist, on everything he has no first hand experience in.
He’s a farmer. It’s not like he had a choice. You can learn a lot on a farm, but you’ll still miss 100 times more than you can learn OFF the farm.
It’s the arrogance you find irritating, not the relativism, which is also a byproduct of farm life. Never met a farmer who didn’t act like they knew more than they actually did. It goes with the lifestyle.
Can you talk about the superior life lessons you learned by frequenting the DC gaybars , or is that classified for fagbot Fed ears only?
I wouldn’t dream of trespassing on your area of expertise, attention whore.
So … all of those Army guys who were put about a mile or so away from the nukes that were touched off at Alamogordo after WW2 — those weren’t real nukes? Really? Then how come so many of those soldiers ended up dying of all sorts of cancers and leukemias?
How about the folks in southern Utah where above ground nukes were tested … and the townspeople ended up with all sorts of cancers and such?
How about all of the above ground nukes that were tested out west (mostly Nevada) in the ’50s that even had radioactive strongium-90 in our milk back in the midwest? All fake, too?
Could be base covering bullshit , but fact of the matter is the US military tested all sorts of poison shit via food, environment and injection on soldiers and civilians since at least WWI . I’m pretty damn sure most of my health issues stem from being part of a vaccine “study” group while in service to the Great Satan decades ago.
“Contrary to decades of anecdotal reports, the study concluded that there were no statistically significant occurrence of cancers or adverse health effects from radiation among these soldiers.”

Am glad you took the time to answer the challenge.
In spite of or because of the fact we are of the same age from different regions of this once great land, I’ve been forced to accept the truths God has given me and I have, as Saul said to Paul on the road to Damascus, seen the best and worst of mankind reflected in my own mirror.
Unlike Narcissus, I cannot bear to look again.
During the reading of your comment regarding the existence/efficacy of nuclear weapons, I had a fleeting memory of the hooplah surrounding the Neutron bomb, designed to kill people without harming the buildings.
This short clip is interesting for many reasons, but significantly, toward the end there is mention that only Russia continued to refine and deploy the “neutron” bomb, choosing to place 60+ of them around Moscow as a LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.
I don’t think the bombs work the way they thought they did… I suspect a lot of them are duds, if they were ever functional.
But, mostly, I think that like a pack of grunts on recon taking a break under cover in a forest… if you got ’em you are gonna light ’em up and smoke ’em. You ain’t gonna just look at ’em.
In these days of madness and mayhem I miss El Coyote’s wit, wisdom and wily ways on this burning platform.
The clip is well done… Neutron Bombs were all the rage for a while. I wonder what Russia did with theirs?
OMG , so you’re saying that that 10th booster against Covid may not even work ? …muh science…muh trusty government heads, overflowing with brains…I can’t even….reeeee
The State has always been the patrimony of some privileged class: a priestly class, an aristocratic class, a bourgeois class. And finally, when all the other classes have exhausted themselves, the State then becomes the patrimony of the bureaucratic class… But in the People’s State of Marx there will be, we are told, no privileged class at all….but there will be a government and, note this well, an extremely complex government. This government will not content itself with administering and governing the masses politically, as all governments do today. It will also administer the masses economically, concentrating in the hands of the State the production and division of wealth, the cultivation of land, the establishment and development of factories, the organization and direction of commerce, and finally the application of capital to production by the only banker – the State. All that will demand an immense knowledge and many heads “overflowing with brains” in this government. It will be the reign of scientific intelligence, the most aristocratic, despotic, arrogant, and elitist of all regimes. There will be a new class, a new hierarchy of real and counterfeit scientists and scholars, and the world will be divided into a minority ruling in the name of knowledge, and an immense ignorant majority. And then, woe unto the mass of ignorant ones!
Such a regime will not fail to arouse very considerable discontent in the masses of the people, and in order to keep them in check, the “enlightened” and “liberating” government of Mr. Marx will have need of a not less considerable armed force. For the government must be strong, says Engels, to maintain order among these millions of illiterates whose mighty uprising would be capable of destroying and overthrowing everything, even a government “overflowing with brains.”

Well now we have heard from the flat earth crowd…..
So if Nukes do not exist, exactly what is it that is keeping NATO from invading Russia, or the Arab Nations from invading Israel? The western world is dying from a lack of resources, half of what is left is in Russia which is why we are continually trying to overthrow it. The militaries of the Arab Countries dwarfs Israel, and yet they are afraid to go to war, no matter how heinous and criminal they act. Israel has been found to be committing genocide by the ICC and yet everyone is too afraid to attack them even though their military has shown themselves to be incompetent boobs who cannot even defeat Hamas. Do you seriously expect us to believe that they build bases with ICBM’s to deliver payloads of TNT? How about those billion dollar nuclear subs? Just to deliver conventional warheads? I suppose the Cuban Missile Crisis was a hoax and the Russians were in on it….
Most of the textbooks have really convincing narratives, HSF. Once you accept it as fake and gay, it actually all makes more sense. There is always a limit to things. Except for God.
Ritter’s been wrong forever.
What exactly has he been wrong about moron? Have you been a complete idiot your whole life, or have you had a serious brain injury?
March 1 22 “All of the cable news military ‘experts’ are just now waking up to the fact that Russia’s ‘failed’ invasion is on the cusp of encircling the main Ukrainian military concentration in the east, and knocking at Kiev’s door. CIA propaganda can only be sustained for so long.”
March 4 22 “Lvov is the heart of this cancer. There cannot be de-Nazification without Russia taking that city and purging this poison. Just a heads up for those who think this ends when Kiev falls.”
March 27 22 “First it was ‘Russia doesn’t have enough troops to take Kiev.’ Then it was ‘Russia has failed because it didn’t take Kiev.’ Never ‘Russia conducted a successful strategic fixing operation around Kiev’”
April 9 22 “The Ukrainian conflict is a proxy war, but one which Russia is poised to win decisively. While there appears to be a NATO/western plan to embroil Russia in a “new Afghanistan”, I don’t see any risk of this conflict dragging on for more than a few more weeks at the most before Russia accomplishes a strategic victory over Ukraine.”
Sept 22 22 “Once the referenda are conducted…. All Ukrainian forces that are on the territory of the regions to be incorporated into Russia will be viewed as occupiers; and Ukrainian shelling of this territory will be treated as an attack on Russia, triggering a Russian response. Whereas the SMO had, by design, been implemented to preserve Ukrainian civil infrastructure and reduce civilian casualties, a post-SMO military operation will be one configured to destroy an active threat to Mother Russia itself. The gloves will come off.” Note- the occupiers are still there today.
Oct 14 22 “this isn’t going to take another year and a half [LOL] this is going to take at the most several months… Russia will wrap this up militarily by the summer, and that it will all be over by the fall of 2023. I stand by that. The only way I think I might be wrong, it might end a little bit sooner”
Nov 15 22 “…Ukraine’s going to have to accept reality. It has permanently lost Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, the Donbas, and Crimea. You will never get it back, Ukraine. Never, ever, ever in a million years. And if you continue this fight, very soon you’re going to lose Odessa. You’re going to lose Kharkiv, and you will never get them back. You will lose Mykolaiv, you’ll lose Dnipropetrovsk, you’ll lose your very existence. You’ll never get it back, ever. Russia’s reached a point where it is not in a mood to negotiate”
You are a complete idiot. The only thing Ritter was wrong about was thinking there was anybody in Ukraine or NATO that had 2 brain cells and could actually see what the fuck was happening. The war should have been over in 2022, and Ukraine should have accepted the peace agreement that was on the table, the fact that the Collective West refused to allow them to do it only proves that the US and NATO want Ukraine totally destroyed as a country. Is that logical? No. But at the time Russia did not really appreciate just how fucking evil the US and NATO really were. So now Ukraine has lost all its young men, (denazification) had its military destroyed, Nato is in the shitter and does not have enough arms to fight 2 weeks. The economy of Ukraine is destroyed, the economy of Germany is destroyed, the Economy of the UK is destroyed, and the economy of the US is about 6 mos. from going to complete shit.
The US and Europe are a complete joke. They are disintegrating into 3rd world shitholes as the countries of Asia are emerging as the new world leaders…
“The war should have been over in 2022”
I agree completely.
But that is not what happened.
Everything after that is naive fluff or claims only made by people on par with Ritter.
“The only thing Ritter was wrong about”
WRONG, that was the entire point of all those quotes about his WRONG predictions and LYING or ignoring after his predictions were shown to be WRONG. He even had the hubris to say that the only way he would be WRONG is if it happened sooner than he predicted.
And that was only the first 9 months.
What you have to understand is Israel is a country of batshit crazy religious zealots who believe if they start WW3 they will force God to bring on the Apocalypse, and they will not be hurt, and become the kings of the earth with 2800 slaves each.
As stupid as that sounds, these psycopatic retards actually believe this shit. They are a bunch of lunatics out to start WW3.
Biden is actually trying to deescalate this thing because it is killing any chance he had to be reelected. The problem is he has lost any control over the crazy Zionists who are on a murder spree that is making it clear to the world that Israel must be destroyed one way or another.
If this thing does escalate, Iran will shut down the Strait of Hurmuz, and the price of oil will go to $400 and gas will go to $16 gal, which will burry Biden.
Russia and China will not stand by and let the world go to shit because of a bunch of self deluded religious fanatics. They will move warships to the area to “stabilize” the situation which will probably end up with Israel attacking those warships. If that happens, Russia and China may detonate a few Poseidon’s off the coast of Israel and solve the problem once and for all.
Think about it – this is our chance to get rid of our problem! The US should nuke Israel and blame Iran! “Dang. I guess their nuclear program was further along than we thought.”
JFK warned them against developing their nuclear arsenal after stealing both the designs and the fissionable materials for those nukes … and they killed him for daring to tell them what to do. He also put his brother RFK onto them to force them to comply with our laws about registration of foreign agents … and that was another one of the bullets that killed him.
Damascus, Syria has never, in recorded history, been destroyed. Now go read Isaiah 17:1-7 and predict what will happen if Syria does significant damage to Israel.
Or, read the entire Book of Ezekiel for that matter.
Those who still call themselves Jews have no more relation to God’s Word than any other pagan religion.
Really? So the Book of Revelation talks about 144,000 ‘sealed’ within the State of Israel. Where do these Jews materialize out of?
If it says that, why didn’t you quote the text? But the book of Hebrews makes clear that Israel is Christianity now. No one comes to the Father except by the Son.
old testament, 12 tribes that do not exist today. new bodies.
All prophesy is bullshit. All of it.
What do you know? Jews screwing up the whole world to pursue their evil, yet again.
There is a reason they have been run out of every place they ever settled for thousands of years.
Attention Kristi Noem!
Will you give Bloomberg News the Julian Assange treatment for daring to report US national security intel that is disparaging to Israel?
Kristi is the kind of peeps on the Trump Train. Choo, choo…
Sad her dad was sucked into a grain bin and died. Her comments in the latest “law” regarding antisemitism in South Dakota she mentioned praying for Israel every night with dad. I have to ask what “Israel” were they praying? Dad was of age to have been duped by the likes of Scofield.
Israel doesn’t have any space to trade for time so they will quickly break out the nukes. Iran might be a Islamic country but racially they are Aryans and any time Aryans say kill the Jews I suspect Israel will sit up and take notice.
Imagine a world without either.
I’d have a lot less customers on both sides.
“racially they are Aryans”
If only
I’m going to be all kinds of pissed (more than I already was) if they make oil pop to some ungodly amount and send gas prices through the roof. I guess Israel wants to make everyone suffer, not just the poor people living in Gaza.
$3.19 gal here. “It’s happening”.
$6.09 down at the conah right here.
Mom had a little O&G LLC that went from a payout of $1800/month to $9k per month when the Russian SMO started in 2022. Shows you what happens.
They are making martyrs of Christians and murdering everyone else.
Iran should focus on taking Netanyahu himself out, along with the other extremist leaders. Hitting military targets won’t solve the basic problem caused by Netanyahu and his buddies in crime. They will just keep on killing people.
Offing Netanyahu will not do anything, the entire country are psychopaths. Almost 80% of them support starving the Palestinians to death. Nearly half of everyone they have murdered have been children. These people make Hitler and the Natzi’s look like a bunch of Boy Scouts.
Pretty good business model…threaten your competitors and your profits go up like magic!
Why has the fucking Mafia never thought of this?
