🚨 The Moment Trump Leaves the Iran War, the Petrodollar Dies Forever

Professor Jiang explains how the US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme dependent on Gulf nations investing in American tech. If Iran forces the Gulf to abandon the petrodollar for food security, the US economy will face total collapse and revolution in the streets.

Jeff Currie, former Goldman Sachs head of commodities and lifelong insider of the dollar system, just laid out the one line America cannot cross. Handing control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran is not a tactical retreat. It is the formal end of the United States as global hegemon and the death of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said that Iran had its “throat on the Strait of Hormuz” for 45+ years and told the Trump administration to “finish this thing and finish it right.”

Bank of America reports that U.S. now only has 43-day emergency buffer of crude oil left in 45-year low.

Worked in those places?

The last place I would want to live is Luton, Bradford, parts of Birmingham, or Rochdale which is where I used to live. These are radicalised religious muslims. But country towns in parts of Africa or the ME, possibly. Pakistan/India, no way.

Are you being decieved or someone trying to brainwash you? The only Christians allowed in Iran are their ethnic minorities Ethnic Armenian and Assyrian Christians in certain area in their own language. But anyone outside of that who trys to covert is illegal and the consequences will likely be death.

I think you are being an optimist.

JMO but we have no reason to import Muslims into the US. I am no expert but I believe in the Koran it says that it’s ok to lie and cheat “infidels,” among other choice practices.

Look what is starting to happen in Europe. I doubt it will end well.

The Jews, Muslims and Christians used to live together happily in Palestine.

Friends who have lived in muslim African countries haven’t had problems even though they were missionaries – but that is changing as the religion is now dominating over the spiritual. A good friend who spent a few years in The Sudan used to have coffee with al Qaeda operatives (they had a training school next to his Bible college) and the discussions usually centred around God, as well as the usual how crap the govt is, the weather etc.  It’s the fanatics that cause the problems.

Christianity is tolerated in Iran – more so than Israel now. Muslims can be much more tolerant towards people of the Book (OT and the Gospels) than Jews. An American in China trying to get Bibles printed in secret couldn’t get anyone to do it because the printers were terrified of the CCP. Eventually his Chinese guide said they must try the CCP printer. The American was horrified, but the CEO saw them, examined the proof and said “This is talking about Abraham. Is this the Christian Bible?” “er, yes” replied the missionary. “I am a muslim” says the CEO, “so, if you are a Christian, you are a man of the Book?” TLDR the CCP printed the Bibles. No amount was specified, and therefore so many pallets were produced that they required help from the army to transport them to the airport and get them on the planes …….

To answer your question, a moderate country, or a moderate part of a country, yes, sure.

is  Short summary BS. They need to go instead of the youth seriously.

We need to get out of NATO and let them figure it out. What we need to figure out is what Russia already knew, we don’t need them any more than Russia does. That they bring us nothing but trouble.

The Old Are Volunteering the Young for War

Btw now that Dr Kory made a historical win battling the globalist cabal and restoring freedom of speech by medical experts they can now be called as witnesses of the medical treason that went on during Covid causing preventable harm and death to millions and the people behind it NO ONLY OF THEIR HARASSMENT AND PERSECUTION WHILE SAVING LIVES BUT THE HARM THRY CAUSSED TO MILLIONS and this time DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

An honest question … would you like to live in a majority Muslim town?

maddog – yeah, I kinda think this was a victory for us today. I’m looking for the rally to continue tomorrow. Course now that I’ve said it out loud, we’ll get crushed. 🙂

Goldie – IMHO it is no accident that there is a light being shined on the evil that runs the planet. The veil is getting thinner and the masks are coming off. The article mentions that there are protests taking place around the country, although we’d never hear that in the media. There is a distinct sacrifice that must be made for fame and power, and it’s not good. When Satan offered Jesus the world, Jesus did not correct him because he knew it was his to offer.

Yes this world is messed up but at least our majority and core population doesn’t normalize abuse. As far as abortions I bet they also would wish men didn’t act like idiots and took more responsibility without wishing they were born in Iran and the anises that await them.

From Covid to the global justice system it made me what is going on that nothing is investigated or done about this child abuse including luering them into transexual mutalation. Then I see when it comes to rape, murder of Christians  and old men marring 6 yr old little girls and silence.

wished their mums had lived in Iran ….

And the hundreds of thousands if not millions killed by Fauci and Co. with murderous treatment of covid and forced vaccinations.

The world is a messed up place.

I bet their woman and children,  protesters hung in the streets of anyone that disagrees with them think about them.

There was a nice little pop in GDX on the close …so some

Ariana Grande Confesses: “Leonardo DiCaprio Forced Me to Eat Children – Now I Have Kuru”

Fact checked by The People’s Voice Community

The Great Satan has run out of missiles and is very low on missile interceptors (Patriots). We are still building missiles and have great reserves of them, with many mobile launchers, so we can continue destruction at will.

The Great Satan does not, and never has, have a long view. Their timeframe is two years, which are up this November. After that the next two years starts. Our timeframe is measured in millenia. Our people know that we were raped and pillaged for oil by the western powers and the shah, and they will not forget. That is why we took our own destiny back in 1979 and the people are still with us.

The original “long view” of the Great Satan was four weeks. That is what they promised everyone. We have proved them wrong time and time again and will continue to do so. We are not like them, impetuous, tied to election cycles, convinced of our total superiority both morally and militarily over their enemies. We truly take the long view, testing our enemies’ weaknesses which are far more than they will admit to their peoples, and acting accordingly.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament and National Security Commission is reviewing a formal draft bill on management of the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf to severely tighten transit rules, per Fars.

Under this draft:

1. US, Israeli, and all other “hostile” country vessels will be permanently banned from transiting the Strait of Hormuz

2. Israeli cargo (military or civilian) will not be allowed to transit through the region

3. Vessels or cargo that played a role in actions against the “Axis of Resistance” will also be banned

4. Countries and individuals that have caused damage to Iran will not be granted permission to transit through the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf until the damage is compensated

5. The entry of vessels will be managed by Iran, while the exit will be managed jointly by Iran and Oman, with fees charged on every vessel

6. Heavy penalties of up to 20% of cargo value for violators

7. Iran’s government + armed forces will be obligated to assume navigation guidance, monitoring vessel traffic, and protecting the security and environment of the Persian Gulf

The Long View of Iran

They brought GLD positive in the last 7 minutes from down a buck. SLV came from $.50 down to down $.20.

HL was spanked for 4%, AG – 2% and USAS -3% Otherwise, I’d have some gains today.

If we can pull off a good day tomorrow on a weak report, we might’ve found our bottom. Emphasis on “might”.

Last Night, the U.S Government Will Never Get to Tell Doctors What They Can Say Anymore

In Kory v. Bonta, a federal judge just barred California’s Attorney General and its medical boards from coming after me and my colleagues for the expert opinions we share with patients.

	Forwarded this e As of Last Night, the U.S Government Will Never Get to Tell Doctors What They Can Say Anymore In Kory v. Bonta, a federal judge just barred California’s Attorney General and its medical boards from coming after me and my colleagues for the expert opinions we share with patients. Pierre Kory, MD, MPA Aug 6 What California Attorney General Rob Bonta, whose ass we just kicked in court, probably looks like today. Last night I received a call from my amazing lawyer, Rick Jaffe, who also represented Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski back in the day during the FDA’s decades-long persecution of him, which I wrote about previously. Anyway, he called me with some big news: a federal judge had just signed an order that, four years ago, I thought I would never get. In the case Kory v. Bastard, err, I mean Bonta, senior United States District Judge William B. Shubb granted our renewed motion for a preliminary injunction and ordered not only California’s Attorney General but also the Medical Board of California and the Osteopathic Medical Board, as well as ANYONE acting on their behalf, to stop investigating us, stop prosecuting us, stop harassing us. Most importantly, stop threatening our licenses over any professional opinions we might share with our own patients about Covid-19, the “vaccines,” ivermectin, anything. The order names me and my two colleagues, Dr. Le Trinh Hoang and Dr. Brian Tyson. Let me remind you what this fight was about, because it represents one of the most glaring absurdities perpetrated during the Covid clown show. In 2022, California passed AB 2098, a law that made it professional misconduct for a physician to give a patient Covid advice that departed from the government’s position. Let me repeat that. In the supposed United States of America (which I started to call the United States of Pharma early on in Covid), American physicians in that state, where I was licensed at the time, would have been literally forced to spew state propaganda in our patients’ ears or we would have lost our licenses. Not for fraud. Not for malpractice. No, it would have been for having a different medical opinion from that of our “beloved,” “un-captured” (yeah, right) government health agencies led by Saint Fauci (who, in a beautiful twist of fate, is in a contempt hearing today). The penalty would have been our licenses, which is to say our careers, our livelihoods, and our ability to care for the people who came to us precisely because we would tell them the truth as we saw it. The state took the most personal conversation in medicine, the one between a doctor and a frightened patient, and tried to put its own words in our mouths, with our licenses held as collateral to make sure we complied. We sued. And, incredibly to me at the time, we initially lost. In April 2024, this very same judge initially denied our motion, based on the theory that when a doctor speaks to a patient, that speech is really just “conduct,” and conduct the state is free to regulate. Yup. Under that logic, the most important speech a physician ever delivers, the counsel we give at the bedside, carries less First Amendment protection than a billboard. So we said $%#! that and kept going. Finally, the ground shifted, and it shifted at the Supreme Court. But it wasn’t easy because our appeal was denied by Justice Kagan and then a petition for certiorari was met with… ten months of silence. That is because they were considering a similar case, that of Chiles v. Salazar, which was finally decided this past March. There, the Court provided what I like to call “correction and direction” to Judge Shubb by holding that a professional’s speech to a client is still speech, protected by the First Amendment, and not some lesser category of “conduct” that the government can freely script. That decision pulled the foundation out from under the ruling against us. So we went back to the same courtroom and asked again. This time the answer was yes. To learn of all the shenanigans pulled by the Medical Board and the state of California, as well as all the barriers that Attorney Rick Jaffe had to overcome, please read his post about the case, titled “The Doctor Will Speak To You Now.” It is excellent.

Some of the shares are kind of holding up. Others, mostly silvers, not so much.

Dollar up, SM down, metals down. Seems like the shares should be getting hit harder.

Just a hunch, but if the shares close OK, we might have a solid day after the jobs report tomorrow. This might be the first time in 6 months where the shares have not been smashed with the SM. Not giving back too much in the metals either. First day in a while I can remember not giving all the gains back after a rally. Hope we’re seeing a real change here.
