    persistent strong rumors circulating in Washington
    As those of us who lived through Nixon's Watergate scandal might recall, "persistent strong rumors circulating in Washington" are sometimes not so much an indication of truth as they are of covert action, the true dynamics of which might only be hinted at years later.

    Never seen these guys before,but its a pretty interesting analysis ,sort of ´parapolitics´ from a historical perspective.,connecting many dots...check it out. -- -- -´The New World Order Has Already Begun | Simon Dixon´- - - - - 20 Mar 2026 The Peter McCormack Show
    Are we witnessing the organic collapse of the Western world, or is the current global chaos a highly engineered script?

    Simon Dixon returns to map out the hidden architecture of global power. He breaks down how the Financial, Military, and Technical Industrial Complexes are actively managing a transition to a multipolar world. From the "transitional theater" of the Middle East to the weaponization of global debt, Simon explains how elites are using chaos to asset-strip the West and consolidate their wealth in a K-shaped economy.

    We also discuss the pivot to the real pandemic: the profound psychological trauma and existential dread infecting modern society. We discuss our own mid-life reckonings, the horrifying reality of an AI-driven digital control grid, and the ultimate rebellion against the system.

    In this episode, we cover:
    The Theater of War: Why current geopolitical conflicts are a scripted reallocation of resources, not unpredictable chaos.
    The Power Triad: How the FIC, MIC, and TIC control governments, global capital flows, and the media narrative.
    The Epstein Leverage: Why the true rulers of the world aren't in the files, but control who gets exposed by them to purge liabilities.
    The 10-Year Escape Plan: Why self-custody of hard assets and fully withdrawing from fiat equities is your only financial defense.
    The Spiritual Rebellion: Navigating the moral decay of fiat society, the necessity of analog community, and finding personal sovereignty.

    SLAPPED DOWN: Trump Just Told Israel AND NATO NO! — Here's Why



    Promethean Updates
    Mar 22, 2026
    Summary:
    00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up - SLAPPED DOWN: Trump Just Told Israel AND NATO No — Here's Why - March 21, 2026
    02:06 What Is Driving Trump's Break With Israel, NATO, and London
    04:22 NATO's COWARDICE
    08:43 The Japan Deal — What the New World Looks Like

    President Trump publicly rejected Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field and criticized NATO for refusing to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, arguing both reflect a long-running “Great Game” strategy centered on energy choke points and instability.

    Susan Kokinda says these moves follow Trump’s December National Security Strategy, which prioritizes avoiding “forever wars,” preventing adversaries from dominating Middle East energy routes, and making choke-point leverage obsolete through American energy independence.

    She highlights administration comments that Israel “doesn’t hate the chaos” while the U.S. wants stability, and notes shifting U.S. political dynamics as figures in both parties question allies who won’t contribute. Kokinda points to new U.S.-Japan agreements—over $60B in U.S. natural gas investment, $40B for small modular nuclear reactors, and deep-sea critical minerals cooperation—as the model for a new, nation-to-nation strategic architecture.

    Trump steamrolls over California’s anti-fossil fuel crusade to get oil flowing from offshore rigs

    Quote:
    " The Trump administration authorized a Houston-based offshore oil company to restart oil platforms off the coast of California, called the Santa Ynez Unit, which the state has aggressively fought as part of its overall hostility toward all oil and gas production...

    The Santa Ynez Unit, which is operated by Sable Offshore Corporation, is in fact three offshore oil platforms, an oil processing facility at Las Flores Canyon northwest of Santa Barbara, and associated pipelines. It was shut down in 2015, and resumed limited production last year. It has the potential to be one of the most productive offshore oil fields in the country, and it could lessen California’s self-created reliance on imports...

    The facility could produce up to 50,000 barrels of oil per day, which would increase in-state oil production by 15%. This would, the Energy Department's announcement explained, replace nearly 1.5 million barrels of imported oil each month. "

    PANIC: Iran Folds as Trump Cuts London's Hidden Hand Over Global Oil



    Promethean Updates
    Mar 24, 2026
    Summary:
    00:00 The Monday Brief - PANIC: Iran Folds as Trump Cuts London's Hidden Hand Over Global Oil - March 23, 2026
    02:14 The City Is Bleeding
    05:58 The Real Chokepoint
    08:45 Bitter Lake to Mar-a-Lago

    Barbara Boyd argues that most commentary on the Middle East misses the economic dimension: after U.S. energy independence, Trump is targeting the City of London’s long-standing influence over global energy pricing. She cites Trump’s Truth Social warning to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, subsequent negotiations, and a five-day extension, contrasting media reactions with what she calls London and Wall Street interests.

    Boyd says Britain is facing an economic emergency as energy and borrowing costs surge, while Gulf states shift trillions in investment toward the U.S. and a “Board of Peace” focused on development and modern energy.

    She claims the true Hormuz chokepoint is London’s marine war-risk insurance, noting Lloyd’s cancellation led to an 81% traffic collapse, and frames current events as a struggle between empire and sovereign nations.

    The resignation of Joe Kent gets put through a "What If" wringer in this 4 way discussion.

    Trump has to either win the mid terms or bypass them and go straight to military tribunals on the basis that the government is incapacitated. As ugly as things may look right now, if a government bypass is the plan, things are still very well on track. whether Trump himself is in charge or not. I'm beginning to suspect not, but I still think the original military operation is. As Gen' Blain Holt suggests, Tulsi Gabbard may even be closer to the real people in charge than Trump is right now. He's an old guy showing signs of needing an off-ramp from being the big guy in charge. Would the military people who started this prefer to choose his replacement or let the rotten stinking political scrum produce one ? The answer to that is petty simple, I think.

    Joe Kent actually called in to this podcast at around the 47th minute for a quick chat.



    Quote Interesting Times


    “JUST GO ON SAM.GOV & LOOK AT ALL THE CONTRACTS THAT WENT INTO ALL THOSE EXPANSIONS OF COURTROOMS, CELLS & ALL THAT STUFF AT GITMO” - GEN. BLAINE HOLT



    Forbidden.News

    Mar 24, 2026

    Alexandra Bruce


    Until I watched this episode of Tommy’s Podcast, I was fuming about Joe Kent’s resignation and his apparent sabotage of the Trump administration. As far I was concerned, Kent may as well have been another Elissa Slotkin.

    George Webb has been creating these very detailed and derogatory Substack posts and podcasts about how Joe Kent was a CIA officer, as part of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_Sycamore operation and how during 8 of his 11 deployments, he was arming ISIS and al-Nusrah and working for David Petraeus as essentially an operative for KKR.

    Webb implied that Joe Kent is part of the same nefarious group that was running guns to Libya, Syria, Sudan, Yemen and overthrowing Ukraine and involved in Iran nuclear deal. He also claimed that Kent worked with the subversives in our government to set up the J6 Fedsurrection and that he was Candace Owens’ intel source for her many Charlie Kirk-related smear campaigns.

    Webb’s associate, retired Ohio State Investigator, Harry “the Greek” Manitidis at Naked Truth News reported that the Department of Justice was preparing espionage charges against Joe Kent and that there would be a Grand Jury presentation seeking Joe’s indictment today at 9AM before Presiding Judge Trevor N McFadden.

    Reportedly, the Case Number is 1:26-cr-00142-TNM and the case alleges that Kent used FBI Washington Field Office Chief Division Counsel, Allison Lawter as a legal liaison to funnel classified memos to podcasters and journalists.


    Manitidis wrote that Lawter was being held without bond at the Federal Pre-Trial Detention Center in Alexandria VA, with her assets frozen and with restricted visitation rights.

    Webb described Lawter’s operation a privatized version of a Weaponization of the Federal Government known as the Arctic Frost investigation to wiretap and conduct lawfare against Trump supporters. Some details from Harry’s March 22nd report have since been removed, including:

    • Lawter led a criminal conspiracy to extort senators to change their votes on pending legislation.

    • For 3 years, Lawter’s rogue cell created a fake “Shadow Bureau” within the FBI’s Office of General Counsel (OGC).

    • Later operated a private, taxpayer-funded intelligence agency deisgned to manipulate and control the votes of US Senators.

    • At the time of Lawter’s arrest on Friday, she was still receiving data feeds at her $5.4 million “Ghost House” on Spring Hills Rd in McLean, VA, streaming from the phones of the following 5 senators:

    Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)

    Bill Hagerty (R-TN)

    Josh Hawley (R-MO)

    Ron Johnson (R-WI)

    Tommy Tuberville (R-AL)

    Manitides ended his report asking whether there is enough evidence for the Grand Jury to indict Joe Kent today?

    Needless to say, I was even less pleased with Kent after consuming the above information but I changed my mind after watching this episode of Tommy’s Podcast, in which the three Air Force commanders discuss his resignation and describe their reasons for strongly supporting him. Then, Kent makes a surpise appearance on the show!

    I’m open to the idea that Kent’s resignation may be an operation to expose the role of Israel in US foreign policy, whereby Kent can take the heat for this exposure and leave Secretary of State Rubio and President Trump relatively unscathed. Note that in his resignation letter, Kent basically highlighted what both Rubio and Trump had previously said; that Israel had forced their hand to join their bombing campaign at this time.

    Donald Trump did not need this war with Iran. Following his administration’s epic smackdown of the demented Davosians and his triumphant State of the Union Address, Trump’s polling was high. The last thing he needed was to torpedo himself before the Midterm elections.

    General Blaine Holt and Colonel Roxane Towner-Watkins think it’s possible that the administration is allowing seditious members of the Government to repeatedly demonstrate their insurgency, in order to justify a declaration of martial law.

    As Holt says:

    “Let me throw some variables at you and ask you, you’re the Commander-in-Chief, how you would handle this? OK: You have 366,000 sealed indictments. You’ve got all these things that have happened, going back to the Fauci murder of millions of Americans and millions of people around the world.

    “Pull that string all the way to today, all the lawfare, all the Hillary crap, the Russiagate, the stolen elections, all of it. Even in Pam Bondi’s own words, when she has them, is that if we were to prosecute all the Epstein crap, 98% of the government would come down or the government would be incapacitated.

    “I guess Assange had said 98% of the government would come down. So if you’re going to round them all up, if you’re going to do this roundup, and by the way, you have to, because if not, you’re going to face impeachment after the Midterms are over, I guarantee it.


    “Now, you’re the Commander-in-Chief. What is the process that you’re going to use to go get this done, knowing that most of the agencies are modeled, ripped with Deep Staters that are at a treasonous level against their country? How would you go about that if that was your task today, to go get them?…

    “So if I was the Bad Guys, and you started down that path with me, and you pulled out all the receipts, and you immediately started prosecuting cases, and you started pulling all this stuff together, every Clown Boy, sharp-edged Ivy Leaguer criminal defense attorney is going to come out of the woodwork. And they’re going to be backed-up by these overtime-booked Article II judges, like Boasberg and others that are going to be very, very sympathetic to those criminal defense attorneys. And the game that they’re going to play is not a game of, ‘I’m going to get all these guys off the hook right away and these cases are now done and gone and behind us.’

    “The game that they would play in that case is ‘I’m going to play the lawfare shot clock, I’m going to slow all these things down, I’m going to gum-up the works. And I will make it so that the bandwidth to get with what needs to be done, if we’re going to right the ship impossible by the Midterms.’

    “And then, by that time, by July 15, going into the Midterms, anything you do judicially at that point in time will just be simply branded, ‘You’re just using the law abusively to attack your enemies.’

    “So, this is where I get to as to why they kept their powder dry and why they kept everything pretty much sealed, except for embarrassing a few folks like Obama, Comey, Brennan, those types of folks.

    “And you can argue it with me, but now that we’re this close to July 15, I think the President is going to declare that the government is incapacitated. And I also think that the Joe Kent resignation is a first in a many, many series of events to get to that place. But I could be entirely wrong.

    “I just think if you’re going to get it done, at this point in time, it’s going to get turned over to the Military, it’s going to be on a tribunal basis. And the only evidence that I have to back that up is the fact that just go on sam.gov and look at all the contracts that went into all those expansions of courtrooms, cells, and all that stuff at Gitmo. So that’s where I’m at.”

    "Terrifying revelation. A reporter points out that Trump's "5-day pause" in the war is the exact amount of time it takes for thousands of US Marines to arrive in the region. He also used the announcement to manipulate the stock market. Absolute chaos and deception."

    In my opinion, if the USA military personnel want to remain alive and truly help their country, they better leave the Persian Gulf now and head back home pronto.

    German president slams Iran war as illegal
    The comments by Frank-Walter Steinmeier mark some of the sharpest criticism yet of the U.S. strikes on Iran from a high-ranking German politician.


    BERLIN — German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Tuesday condemned U.S. President Donald Trump for going to war with Iran, calling the conflict a violation of international law and warning of a transatlantic rupture comparable to Germany’s break with Russia.

    Steinmeier’s role in German politics is largely ceremonial, but his sharp criticism of the war and the U.S. president is likely to put additional pressure on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has stopped short of other European leaders in calling the war illegal even as he has grown increasingly critical of what he sees as the lack of an exit strategy on the part of the U.S. and Israel.

    “This war violates international law,” said Steinmeier, who is a member of the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), which rules in a coalition with Merz’s conservatives and has been more critical of the ongoing attacks. “There is little doubt that, in any case, the justification of an imminent attack on the U.S. does not hold water,” he added.

    Steinmeier, speaking in front of an audience of German diplomats in Berlin, criticized Trump for withdrawing from the nuclear deal with Iran during his first term in office. The president, who served as Germany’s foreign minister from 2013 to 2017, had helped negotiate that deal.

    “This war is also — and please bear with me when I say this, as someone directly involved — a politically disastrous mistake,” said Steinmeier. “And that’s what frustrates me the most. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.”

    Prof Mearsheimer: 'Trump listened to the Israelis who were pushing him towards war, against the advice of USA intel organizations.'

    Trump falsely claims that Iran is willing to come back to the negotiation table. At 10:40 the Iranian minister of foreign affairs explains why Iran will no longer negotiate with USA, essentially because USA has betrayed Iran time and again.

    In case there's still any doubt, one more report of Iran denying there's been any new negotiations with Trump.
    Iranian MP describes Trump's negotiations claim as 'fake news to manipulate the oil market'.

    I'm glad the insider trading off of Trump's tweets is getting more attention. It's a MASSIVE scandal... almost as big as who placed those put option trades on American Airlines in the days and hours before 9/11. Same energy....

    New World Order The British Empire Sidelined As USA & Russia Take The Throne

    Quote President Trump on Iran " They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present ... and it was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money ... it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us and they said they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me. We're dealing with the right people. "

    08:23 The Proxy War Loses Its Sponsor

    Susan Kokinda argues President Trump has opened a new diplomatic space to de-escalate the Iran conflict by working through a regional roster—Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Gulf States, and back channels into Iran—while the U.K., EU, and NATO are absent and increasingly irrelevant. Citing reporting that ministers met in Riyadh and that Egypt, Turkey, and Oman carried messages, she says this “Board of Peace” architecture is isolating Iran and weakening its proxies, pointing to Lebanon’s move against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority’s condemnation of Iran, and Hamas considering disarmament. Kokinda links Europe’s exclusion to self-inflicted energy weakness from Green and anti-Russia policies, noting rushed LNG moves and a delayed Russian oil ban vote. She concludes Ukraine’s outlook darkens as Europe and Britain lack leverage, highlighting Zelenskyy’s scramble for support in London and Washington.

    Iranians trolling Trump with AI lego video. This one is actually well done, and full of significance:

    I do recall that Bibi gifted a 'golden pager' to Trump last year... Maybe this 'gift' from Iran makes similar allusions.

    Trump cryptically claims he got a gift from Iran 'worth a tremendous amount of money'


    _______________________________________________________________

    Regarding Trump's claim that he's negotiating with Iranians, it's highly unlikely judging from firm statements made by Iran's foreign minister, who also points out the contradictions in the various claims made by Trump:

    Translation: Trump insists that we believe him, and not the Iranian officials who deny any attempt to 'make a deal' with the USA.

    Trump insists Iran is 'begging to make a deal'
