It is a strange thing to hear talk of an imminent “deal” the other side does not appear to be a party to. The negotiations – if that’s the right word – have apparently been conducted between Trump’s emissaries and the prime minister of Pakistan’s emissaries, acting as intermediaries. Negotiations generally occur when the two parties discuss them directly. But in this instance, the Iranians are probably reluctant to send emissaries on account of Trump’s record of bad faith. They may – not unreasonably, given Trump’s prior conduct during negotiations – fear being killed if a “deal” is not agreed to.
According to news reports, the “deal” is a capitulation – for Iran. It requires the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, which means Iran surrenders its having won control of the Strait of Hormuz. It requires that the Iranians dismantle their nuclear program and the turning over or destruction of any highly enriched uranium – the essential ingredient for a nuclear deterrent – they may possess. In exchange for agreeing to this capitulation, the U.S. promises “eventual economic relief” and the “phased lifting of sanctions.”
Such a deal!
Well, it will be if the Iranians agree – supposedly today (Sunday, June 14). It is difficult to believe they will because why would the Iranians agree to such a capitulation given they have – so far – won the war by not losing it? If they do agree to this deal, it will mean losing everything, from the Iranian point-of-view. It will mean surrendering Iran’s ability to defend itself going forward, because surrendering its actual or potential nuclear deterrent would amount to exactly that. It is the primary reason for this war. Iran was attacked not because it had attacked another country but because a certain country cannot abide the idea of Iran being able to defend itself from an attack by that country. So it sicced the United States on Iran. The war is hugely unpopular in the United States for just that reason (excepting the Republican Party, which still supports it bigly). Most Americans do not like paying the War Tax every time they pump gas into their vehicle. It is not that they like the Iranians – or that they do not like the Israelis. It is that they do not want to pay for a war between the Israelis and the Iranians.
Back to this “deal.”
How can the Iranians agree to surrender? Why would they agree to surrender? If this “deal” is actually a deal – and not just another instance of Trump asserting it is a “deal” before the facts establish it isn’t and probably never was – then there is (to quote the Marquess of Montrose) something that is hid from sight. What could that be? If there is a deal, then it must be something along the lines of a threat to use nuclear weapons against Iran – a thing that is not inconceivable given what we know Trump and the people running Israel are capable of. They are, objectively, sociopaths. Trump has had people extrajudicially killed – claiming they were running drugs. Including people helplessly bobbing in the water. An aquatic My Lai for which neither he nor anyone else in the administration will ever be brought to justice for performing. Netanyahu awards golden pagers to his cronies – including Trump – to commemorate blowing up not just supposed “terrorists” but also anyone else who happened to be near them when the pages blew up.
But why would the Iranians back down even in the face of a threatened nuclear attack? If they do, then they may as well have been nuked since it will mean the end of Iran as a meaningfully sovereign state. It will mean Iran becomes something like Venezuela; i.e., another banana republic just not an equatorial one. It will mean Netanyahu and his successors can have their way with Iran.
Something feels unnatural about the whole thing. Iran – insofar as the facts seem to suggest – is far from beaten. It is unusual for the not-beaten to cry uncle. This almost never happens. It happens even less often when the not-beaten knows that if he does cry uncle, the bully is going to savage him even worse. Do you take me entirely for a whig, sir? Meaning, a fool. A dupe. That’s what the Marquess of Montrose asked Archie in Rob Roy.
One wonders whether the Iranians are asking the same question, right now.

No deal on Sunday.
Now Trump sez it will be done on Juneteenth.
One of the terms put out by Iran was “$300B in reconstruction funds”. The question becomes, where will that money come from?
I say take it from Israel, Miriam Adelson, Peter Theil and the rest of that merry band of Zionists.
Trump can’t be trusted
Iran can’t be trusted
IRGC is not part of the deal
Israel is not part of the deal
Long term peace in the middle east
still seems impossible
This is just a rerun of the oil futures/stock market circle of grift; Larry Johnson had a good graphic of it over on Substack. “We got a deal” – oil down/stocks up. “Bomb ‘em back to the stone age” – oil up/stocks down. Traitor Trump’s insider cronies make out by playing the short and long side every cycle. I actually bought a long oil ETF in my own account Friday after the dive to see if I can get a piece of the action.
Yep. It is all a manipulation. Futures are now open (Sunday afternoon), This is Trump’s latest:
TRUMP-IRAN PEACE DEAL REACHED, SIGNING JUNE 19
Following intensive talks, the Peace Deal between the United States and Iran has been reached.
Both sides agreed to immediate and permanent termination of military operations.
The official signing ceremony is set for Friday
————–
Trump said on Friday the signing would be on Sunday. Iran says nothing is even happening.
Hm, *is* greed really good? Is altruism a virtue? Or is it a vice?
I’m not necessarily agreeing with everything that follows. I’m just throwing this out there for discussion.
‘The UN Charter’s rule not to interfere with the sovereignty of foreign countries is the legacy of Europe’s 1648 Treaty of Westphalia that ended its Thirty Years’ War.
The United States has overthrown foreign governments and tried to bring about regime change from Russia to Iran by bombing civilians, especially young students and doctors, schools and hospitals,
in the hope that such terrorism will lead populations to replace their governments with U.S. client oligarchies to stop the bombings that have become the hallmark of U.S. policy.
U.S. diplomacy also violates the international maritime law, bombing fishing boats from Venezuela and Columbia in Latin America to the Strait of Hormuz and Persian gulf, without warning or probable cause simply to demonstrate its immunity from the constraint of international law and the inability of the United Nations or any other international body to prevent piracy and murder on the seas.
Insisting that other countries obey its own sanctions aimed at isolated Russian oil production., the United States has destroyed Libya and grabbed Iraq’s oil production and taken control of its revenue, refusing Iraqi government demands for the United States to leave.
It has likewise seized control of Venezuela and devoted all its oil-export proceeds to U.S. accounts in Miami under the Trump Administration’s direct control.
Trump’s behavior has gone seamlessly to the U.S. presidency from his background as a notoriously cheating real estate developer, lying and breaking contracts with his suppliers, bankers and labor, and treating fines and penalties simply as a cost of doing business, not to mention his predatory behavior toward women. There is almost a natural kinship between his former life and his present political role.
Much as U.S. foreign policy seeks to block countries from having their own sovereignty and self-reliance, today’s financial and real estate magnates in the One Percent class, along with the ambitious politicians they recruit to gain control of U.S. policy, are reducing a widening swath of the U.S. population to debt dependency and the insecurity of living paycheck to paycheck.
U.S. strategists fear (and bullies are cowards) that foreign independence from U.S. control of trade in oil, information technology and automatic intelligence would enable them to resist the demands of America’s abusive imperial power.
The creditor class, monopolists and other members of the rentier One Percent share a similar fear that the U.S. government might enact and apply laws that would limit their concentration of financial power and monopolization of wealth at the expense of the increasingly indebted 99 Percent being forced more deeply into debt (and debt arrears) just to make ends meet.
Similar drives for power characterize the CEOs and CFOs of today’s largest corporations, as well as gangsters, religious cult leaders and many politicians pursuing their respective ambitions.
Sociopathic self-indulgence is celebrated as the driving force of progress, “free” of public checks and balances to permit economic polarization and the kind of self-destructive decadence that brought down the Roman Empire.
A Vocabulary to Describe Today’s Global Fracture and Its Civilizational War
We need an appropriate vocabulary to describe these phenomena, and also to characterize their attempt at self-justification by promoting today’s neoliberal ideology. I suggest the following two words:
Geopathology: the abusive conduct of international relations in an exploitative manner that injures and victimizes other countries by imposing a unilateral double standard of behavior. All imperialism aspiring to empire building is characterized by such geopathology.
Econopathology: the doctrine to defend the absence of social empathy. Its core is today’s libertarian “greed is good” individualism advocating unlimited self-interest and rejecting any government constraint or regulation to protect the basic social principle of reciprocity and mutual aid that provided the foundation for civilization’s takeoff.
Early civilization could not have evolved if Margaret Thatcher, Milton Friedman, Frederick Hayek and Alan Greenspan had managed to send themselves back in a time machine and arrive as gods from the future offering to enlighten chieftains, priesthoods and the kings of Mesopotamia, Egypt and China.
Civilization never could have taken off if it had taken their advice. There would have been no protection of their subjects against falling into debt bondage, losing their land tenure.
Such a takeoff would have gone directly from incipient civilization to an economic polarization and subjugation to a narrow oligarchy lording it over the population and fighting to prevent any alternative attempts at takeoffs by protecting personal liberty and widespread self-support as a precondition for progress.
Only a system of mutual aid and protection of personal self-sufficiency for the citizenry could have enabled archaic low-surplus economies to survive. They could not afford the luxury of inequality and deprivation of the population’s liberty and land tenure rights.
And by the same token, today’s economies require some public authority empowered to prevent economic and physical aggression from leading to predatory oligarchies. Most have been financial in character and have sought to monopolize the land.
Greek philosophy realized the need to protect society against the pathological behavior that was an inherent result of money-addiction.
All wealth, especially in monetary form, was recognized as being addictive, leading to behavior that injured others, and accordingly was regarded as asocial and frowned upon.
Usurious creditors assigned such “dirty” activities to their slaves or freedmen to avoid being shunned in polite company.
Rules for basic reciprocity and respect for the human rights of others acted to constrain the kind of behavior that today’s financialized and neoliberalized Western societies have lost.
Money addiction plays no role in today’s utilitarian economic theory, or in the principles of law or political philosophy.
Business school students are taught that their task as corporate managers should be to maximize capital gains for their stockholders and pursuing profits to pay dividends toward this end by cutting costs and conquering markets ruthlessly, as if all the ensuing exploitation and destruction is creative.’

Today, on This Week with George Stephanopoulos Full Broadcast – Sunday, June 14, 2026, some analyst guest tells us about the future of oil prices:
https://youtu.be/h1wlmDTjScc?t=1754
28:53 Rapidan Energy Group President Bob McNally joins “This Week” to discuss the war’s impact on global oil markets
unfortunately the analyst Bob McNally regurgitates the false narrative of “a deal” which frees up oil flow.
I have no idea what happens next but the idea floating around the USA goes into a greater depression is not so far out. In the near future, it is probable that inflation is like the 1970s, recession and inflation (stagflation) along with rising interest rates. The Fed follows rates up, mortgage rates go up, the home market stagnates.
Persistant high gasoline and diesel prices kills demand and economy.
Trump is removed like Nixon.
Eyeliner Vance is temporary POTUS like Gerald Ford
Fed Governor Kevin Warsh fights inflation like Paul Volcker
Stock market stagnates after having a big initial drop
10 year Treasuries march in waves into higher yields
2028 TPTB install another “honest man” to calm the nation, Thomas Massie is the perfect candidate for a Jimmy Carter wave repeat. (back in 1976 my dad was told by the FBI that Jimmy Carter was going to be installed, this was after Nixon resignation and before voting started)
————
Q. for Goolag Ai explain fed governor paul volcker fighting inflation in the 1970s
Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker broke the back of double-digit inflation by shifting the Fed’s focus from targeting interest rates to strictly limiting the nation’s money supply. Appointed by President Jimmy Carter in August 1979, Volcker implemented a high-interest, tight-money regime known as the “Volcker Shock” to curb rampant speculation and reset inflationary expectations
Little Shitrahell prepares to start sandbagging Trumpstein before he even signs:
‘Ynet, citing multiple senior Israeli officials, reported on Saturday that West Jerusalem believes that the agreement taking shape falls short on every major Israeli redline: nuclear dismantlement, missile limits, and the rollback of Iran’s regional allies.
“Trump screwed us,” one Israeli official told Ynet. A second official called the deal “very bad.” “From our perspective, it is a catastrophe, because it does not meet any of the principles we spoke about when the war began.”
https://www.rt.com/news/641523-trump-screwed-israel-iran-peace-deal/
This caustic Israeli rhetoric is specifically intended to undermine Trump:
‘A third [Israeli] official warned the deal would be widely interpreted as a setback for America. “The regional working assumption is that it was signed under Iranian pressure and an American climbdown, not the other way around,” the official said, adding that the agreement “will be considered a failure.”
Who needs a so-called ‘ally’ like this?
And here we go … today (Sunday) little Shitrahell bombed Beirut. Pathetically, the Orange Flake is pleading with the little apartheid colony:
‘Iran threatened a military response. Trump reacted on social media: “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon” and “Let’s not blow it!”
‘Trump described the attack on northern Israel as “very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process.”
‘Iran’s parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, a lead negotiator for Tehran, warned the U.S. on X after Israel’s strikes that “if you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, speaking of continuing the path is not possible.”’
https://www.azfamily.com/2026/06/14/israeli-military-strikes-beirut-suburbs-lead-up-anticipated-us-iran-deal/
Mad dog Shitrahell can’t go even one day without pissing on America’s leg. It doesn’t like this deal. Therefore, it is going to wreck it. Any questions?
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. (Orwell)
Wars and foreign policy are just one of the numerous mechanisms designed to move money in the right direction (up). Even a failed war is a success.
Israel’s IDF started the war against the IRGC
They are both not part of any deal
Trump wanted to say he won the war
on his birthday. But the IRGC
has not agreed to anything.
It seems like the cease fire will continue,
excluding Israel attacking Lebanon &
and less than 145 ships per day
crossing the strait of Hormuz
as they did in 2025
The supreme leader of Iran wants to get
the frozen assets back and to sell oil to China
He might sign a deal for up front money
He has to realize a promise of getting frozen assets
unfrozen by Trump in the future is a worthless promise
If the strait does open, and has no tolls,
that can be changed in one day by the IRGC,
who has not signed any deal
“Definition” of a ceasefire: Israel is actively conducting bombing campaigns and military attacks primarily inside Lebanon, Iran, and Syria, while simultaneously maintaining its devastating warfare and airstrikes across the Palestinian territories (the Gaza Strip and the West Bank). Israel has also routinely targeted Houthi infrastructure in Yemen
I am going to tell you what really matters:
1. the oil market starts reacting to a real shortage. At some future higher price for gasoline or diesel, consumer behavior changes, demand destruction
2. Interest rates trade higher as US Treasuries are auctioned off to the world full of suckers. Until the bond market (prices of the coupon) collapse, the US Gov will be able to pawn off their excesses on the rest of the world.
3. the recession gets going, jobs are lost – while the Fed is impotent of stopping interest rates going up (like the 1970s). Watch for the 10 year T-bond gets to 6% and the 30 year fixed home mortgage goes to 7-8%.
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$TNX/interactive-chart
4. Congress is forced to cut spending in the current recession. the usa could soon be under forced austerity to save it’s failing credit rating
5. the voters demand the war funding stopped for social program funding
6. who cares what orange clown says? I don’t. what matters is the Zionist satrap is impeached and removed
Trump is completely nuts. Trump was installed by Israel and is under orders to destroy Iran while pretending to be in negotiations with Iran. Scumbag Trump, of course, does not tell you the real politik, Trump is a pretender, a fake president, pretending to be in charge.
IMO Orange clown is not in charge of jack shit. Trump is only the installed chump, King Shit on Turd Mound. Trump lacks any integrity whatsoever, he is so evil he kills statesmen in negotiations. Trump assassinated General Soleimani after inviting him to peace negotiations. This is a high war crime, he killed a head of state invited by us to negotiate with us. The Zionists invited a head of state to Baghdad airport just so they could target him. He was in a Mercedes going across the tarmac and was blown away by a Hellfire missile shot by a Predator drone.
Israel wants Iran destroyed like Iraq or Gaza, completely fractured state, unable to threaten the ever growing state of Greater Israel – which is meant to consume the whole world. The Zionists, who animate Trump, do not want peace with Iran. That is why Trump’s daily peace talks are a complete farce.
Most people do not understand that the Rabbis are implementing a many thousand year old plan to subjugate the entire world to their (self chosen) whim. So far they have been wildly successful. they are able to blackmail and bribe the world’s political class which trades power for integrity. The reason why Jews are so successful is most people are so weak and pathetic, not to mention cowardly and easily bribed.
Trump is the prime example of a quisling. Some day in the future, while you are suffering Jewish rule, just remember it was Trump who sold you down the river. Make no mistake about understanding Trump is the biggest traitor in our nation’s history.
Orange con man lied about his MAGA intentions to rule, he is in the pocket of the Israelis, sexually compromised yet refuses to resign. Trump is the biggest threat to our republic, he must be forced out of office ASAP, the longer we wait the more damage Trump will do. IMO the military should immediately arrest and execute him – along with his entire family – given the Romanov treatment since they are all in on his corruption.
Trump has repeatedly claimed “fake news” yet is pushing this completely fake narrative of peace negotiations with Iran. He claims he is going to sign a deal with Iran, which Iran denies and has not agreed to a single point of trump’s demands. The entire world MSM, regurgitates Trump’s fake narrative – which is strange since most of them mightily oppose him and his agenda.
I am having a hard time figuring out the current timeline so I asked Goolag Ai:
when is iran and trump going to sign an agreement today?
No exact time has been set, as Iran has officially rejected President Donald Trump’s timeline to sign the agreement today, June 14, 2026.
While President Trump and Pakistani mediators announced that a preliminary peace deal was scheduled for a virtual signing today, Iranian officials stated that negotiations are still ongoing and a final text has not been approved.
Current Status of the Agreement
Trump’s Announcement: President Trump stated via Truth Social that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) would be signed on Sunday.
Iran’s Refusal: Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson explicitly stated that the signing “will not happen today,” pointing to remaining sticking points.
Mediator Efforts: Negotiators from Pakistan and Qatar are actively working in Tehran to finalize the terms.
Don’t hold your breath for Trump and his fake deal.
BTW any of you too can use Goolag Ai and my search term, just go to Google search, copy and paste my search term which I posted, then click on Ai. Don’t take my word, do your own research, try to wrap your mind around reality and not the endless lies called the Jewish simulacrum. Don’t exist in the fake reality the media pushes on us.
One is shocked — shocked — to learn that NYC’s communist government already is nearly bankrupt:
‘New York City is facing a cash flow problem so serious — its balance could go negative in November, according to sources familiar with projections under review at City Hall.
‘City Hall is also trying to stem strong pushback from nonprofit groups — some of whom expressed “sheer panic” after learning Thursday in an NBC New York report that the Mamdani administration was considering withholding or delaying billions of dollars in cash advances they are due to receive on July 1.
‘Administration sources have voiced concern about their ability to implement a new local law requiring the city pay social service nonprofits 50 percent of their annual contract award up front. That’s double the 25 percent the City was previously required to pay.
‘Some nonprofit leaders sounded unsympathetic about the city’s cash flow problems in interviews with NBC New York. “That’s their problem, not our problem. We need the cash,” said Kristin Miller, executive director of Homeless Services United, which advocates for more than 50 nonprofit agencies serving homeless adults and families.’

“From each bitch according to her ability, to each bitch according to her need,” as Uncle Karl Marx used to say. 🙂
It’s 1977 all over again: NYC bankrupt, surging inflation, fuel shortages, and general “malaise” from ordinary people beaten down by the current system. Now with the added bonus of digital panopticon surveillance as the icing on the proverbial shit cake.
Only thing missing is a major blackout and a new “Son of Sam” but that may be on the horizon as well…
Hi MQ,
I’d rather have ’77! You could have bought a brand new Trans-Am with a 400 and a four speed!
As has been the case from the beginning, Trump has no perception of reality. He is only aware of his fantasies. He will exterminate any and all who interfere with them.
I gotta tell you, I trust gas station sushi more than I trust any “deal” here.
This cycle of amazing deals like nobody has ever seen followed by oh my bad, these fucking animals just broke the truce so now we’ll hit them like never before and around and around it goes just gives Iran time to do the proverbial reload. How did Trump turn into the ultimate neocon anyway? Was it always the plan?
Out of my sphere of influence anyway.
Ask any current or former operator (or people with a little common sense) and they’ll tell you the only solution is to push the button, like it or not. Of course that’s likely the end of humanity, but who ever said we were worth saving anyway? Well, apart from Jesus.
As my late father in law (Marine) always said: “Nuke ‘em til they glow and shoot ‘em in the dark”.
I like the Iranians. They are reasonable, restrained, intelligent, respect old fashioned values like not killing civilians, telling the truth, self defense, leadership that is willing to die with the soldiers in a fight for national survival. They show far more virtue than the current clown show Administration in the US that actually aspires to be like WWE spectacles. I used to be a Republican conservative. Since Pat Buchanan was drummed out of the party the GOP is the Evil Twin of the Democrat Party, with the same goals but forced to lie about everything to get the conservative voters so, when in office, it can do what the Democrats do but on steroids. Like COVID PANIC, COVID protocols, COVID FAKE VACCINE BIOWEAPON, ENDLESS WARS, ASSASSINATIONS OF CHARISMATIC PATRIOT ACTIVIST IN PUBLIC when they don’t agree to sell the kids on WARS FOR ISRAEL.
The US is now fully The Evil Empire.
Well-said, Kent –
I am like you – and I am in full agreement. I know Pat a little, by the way. He’s not a fraud – unlike the current clown king.
Ferengi Rule of Acquisition 17: A contract is a contract is a contract… but only between Ferengi.
Even if they have a deal, it won’t be kept. Israel will find some “violation” and do whatever they want (or instruct America to do whatever they want).
Agree in principle, but I think that neither side intends on fulfilling any contract that the other side finds acceptable.
It would be foolish to do so for either side.
Iran’s leaders see past the midterms and the election in 2028 to a different regime that has always “trusted/pretended” that Iran will fulfill all agreements including nuclear restrictions and ignored the Iranian regime’s repression (and murder) of any who protest.
Trump sees the midterms as critical to continuing his policies and goals, whatever they actually are. So make a deal and appear to keep it until after the midterms.
Israel always does what is best for Israel and ignores the international “rule of law” if that law impedes Israel.
Politicians (in all countries) always seek what gives them more power and wealth.
Voting won’t change it. Violent revolution does so only rarely.
Hopefully both sides know Rule 8: “Small print leads to large risk”.
The Iranians sure, President Trump probably not.
And yeah, the end plan is probably to do to Iran what Rome did to Carthage.
‘Something is hid from sight. What could that be?’ — eric
Besides threats, inducements are another possibility.
Although Trumpstein claims for domestic purposes that it won’t cost Americans a penny, reports suggest that Iran may receive up to $30 billion in unfrozen assets via third parties such as the UAE.
Having been hammered for years by extraterritorial US sanctions, Iran definitely could use some USD foreign exchange … and the ability to spend it on purchases that are currently blocked. That’s a big incentive for Iran to accept an otherwise unpalatable deal.
But — you knew this ‘but’ was coming — without a three-way agreement that includes Israel, this deal is likely doomed. Repeatedly it’s been proven that Trumpstein cannot control the little rogue state, which believes that it controls him via its abject rabble of Congress Clowns purchased with more than $250 billion of ‘donations’ over the past five years.
Regardless of the fate of US-Iran negotiations, the subversion and takeover of the US political system by a hostile foreign colony — which now is seeking to assimilate the Pentagon and the CIA by means of pending legislation — is the elephant in the living room which you won’t read about in the Lügenpresse. (Who runs the Lügenpresse?)
Trump’s false-front administration is a quisling regime directed from Jerusalem. We saw it with our own eyes when Netanyahu showed up in WARshington DC on February 11 and successfully ordered his cringing lackey Trump to start the war on February 28. Any freaking questions??
And here we go again:
‘The Israeli military said it launched strikes on Beirut on Sunday targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, despite ongoing efforts to negotiate an end to the U.S.-Iran war. Smoke could be seen rising over the Lebanese capital.
‘The strikes threatened to hamper negotiations over a deal, which in its current form is a deep disappointment to Israel’s government. The last time Israel struck the Beirut suburbs a week ago, it set off the most serious escalation of fighting between Iran and Israel since the tenuous ceasefire took hold April 7.’
https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-war-ceasefire-deal-e0a9e4e1152ea8da10ea066ad174a23a
How many dozens of times have we seen this movie? Little Shitrahell is doing what it always does: biting the American hand that feeds it, just to show us who’s boss.
Israel delenda est.
“Although Trumpstein claims for domestic purposes that it won’t cost Americans a penny, reports suggest that Iran may receive up to $30 billion in unfrozen assets via third parties such as the UAE. ”
It’s Iran’s money, dude. USA stole it. Plus I’ve read there’s more than $100 billion seized by European nations also owed to Iran.
Correct: ‘unfrozen’ = Iran’s money
Luckily the “Ferengi Rules of Acquisition” cover this situation:
Rule 34: War is good for business.
Rule 35: Peace is good for business.
And if that doesn’t explain what’s going on just remember Major General Smedley Butler’s famous book; “War is a Racket”.
With Orange Julius Caesar stating a “deal” has been signed it reminds me of this scene from The Godfather
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWWQNmJAAo
Hi Eric,
Why should Deal #38 be any different than the last 37?
I agree, Trump is a broken record. Yesterday an article showed up over at the truthseeker website written by Mike Adams:
Trump’s Groundhog Day: Stuck in an Endless Time Loop of War and Delusion
Jun 13, 2026
I feel like I am living in a twisted version of Groundhog Day — the 1993 film where Bill Murray’s character relives the same day over and over until he spiritually advances enough to escape the loop. But here we are, in June 2026, trapped in loop 37 of the Trump-Iran war cycle. And it feels like a bad movie (Groundhog Day was a good movie, just to be clear).
Every morning we wake up to hopeful talk of peace; by evening, both sides are blasting one another again. As one news analysis put it, “If there is going to be fighting with Iran almost every single day, what is the point of having a ceasefire?” [1] That question exposes the delusion at the heart of this administration.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump’s personal transformation never happened. Unlike Murray’s character, who eventually learned humility and compassion, Trump remains the same man who thinks he can bend reality by sheer will. This is the core problem: a president who genuinely believes he can declare peace into existence while his generals load the bombs. The result is an endless loop of deception — one that American taxpayers are funding with their lives and their savings.
I am thinking this is how the Trump regime ends. Trump stuck in an endless loop of insanity is impeached then put in a padded cell, the VP installed as POTUS, immediately calls off the war, replaces Hegseth, etc.
In the next 12 months a wave repeat of Nixon’s resignation, Trump pedogate gets blown wide open, Congress impeaches, Trump exits, Vance takes the throne like Gerald Ford, the nation treads high inflation until the 2028 election. The USA hegemon fades into history as a has been.
