Monday morning #headlines recap

Trump claims a Hormuz "deal"; Iran calls it a complete lie and a desperate attempt to manipulate the markets; oil craters. Trump said allies (Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Iran) urged him to hold off a strike because a deal was near. Iran's Fars/Mehr sources rejected it outright — strait stays closed, IRGC coordination still required. WTI −7.5% / Brent −10% on the futures open. *I am running out of words to describe the level of corruption and market manipulation. He’s gone full jew.*

Tankers still targeted in the "deal" corridor. UKMTO/Ambrey logged an explosion ~20nm NE of Khasab, Oman; the VELOS AMBER transited the US-backed corridor under heavy air escort but was fired on by at least one projectile. Not the behavior of a side "begging for a ceasefire."

The manipulation read is now consensus among the macro accounts: Bessent forcing algos to price a dead MOU; the same one-week-old "trick," except the US alone bled 11mb of crude inventories doing it; Trump deliberately making oil so volatile that long term investment is impossible.

A U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) officer reportedly emailed a large group of military analysts last week requesting “new, creative and unconventional” ways to pressure and punish Iran, according to CNN. The email, sent to a broad distribution list, sought fresh proposals for increasing pressure on Tehran as the Trump administration considers its next steps. According to CNN, multiple sources described the mass brainstorming request as highly unusual, reflecting CENTCOM’s efforts to develop additional military and strategic options against Iran. *Fedi would have it solved in 5 minutes :pepe_nuke: *

US-Japan joint FX intervention officially confirmed. Japan's Ministry of Finance stated it bought yen in coordination with the US Treasury on Friday and "will not hesitate" to repeat; Bessent echoed it and Trump called the intervention "a signal of friendship". Yen at 157, with 160 seen as the line. *One sinking ship bailing water into the sinking ship right next to it…*

The warning lights: BofA's Bull & Bear indicator hit one of the strongest sell signals this century; Goldman flags ~$185bn of forced selling this month; and the desk caution that Friday's move was "more gross-down than net-up”. Meanwhile KOSPI remains the epicenter — another −5% halt, now the world's most volatile index, even as foreign investors bought a record +$5.4bn Friday. *Degenerate gamblers just can’t help themselves. *

1,500 anti-migrant protesters gathered at Morocco's embassy in Madrid, including masked far-right members. Migrants are scattering into drainage pipes and rooftops to dodge deportation, and soldiers are reportedly told to "politely ask" them to leave. *Browns only understand violence.*

In a searing public statement, former Vatican Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has leveled one of the most explosive charges yet against the Holy See’s conduct during the COVID era. Viganò alleges that the Vatican did not merely stay silent, but that it actively collaborated with the architects of what he calls “one of the greatest operations of social control and health fraud in contemporary history.”

Just days after Prof. Francis Boyle agreed to testify against Bill Gates & Albert Bourla over the deadly COVID mRNA shots... he was found dead. Boyle authored the U.S. Bioweapons Act & called the mRNA injections 'Bioweapons & Franken-Shots.' *Same mistakes over and over: publicly announced whistleblower suddenly gets unalived. Doesn’t anyone understand even the most basic concept of surprising your enemies? *

From Ukraine This Week: How adult content could help Ukraine's war effort. In the latest episode of Ukraine This Week, Kateryna Denisova examines one of Ukraine's most unusual legal contradictions. Numerous adult content creators pay taxes to the state while risking criminal prosecution for the very work that generates their income. *This might be the most jewish thing you’ll see on the internet today.*

Ukrainian secret services duped a female courier into delivering their bomb, and when she was questioned by security they remotely blew her to pieces. Meanwhile a pro-Ukrainian source does an effortpoast on how the Russians are taking them apart bit by bit. *for those that care to read see nigger dot poast dot org/AMK_Mapping_/status/2083834214341091817*

***We have lots of problems to solve, but the daily headlines remind us that one is truly the lynchpin… ***
