The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.

In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.

These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

The trader seemingly made huge gains.

Unusual.

Union II’s starting lineup against FC Cincinnati 2 is mostly the same as last weekend, except Sal Olivas starts at striker and Finn Sundstrom starts at center back. Also, Andrew Craig makes his first appearance in the lineup (on the bench)

Financial markets open your eyes to the raw reality of how rotten this world is. (Epstein's files don't surprise me)

Take the 📘💊 blue pill and you keep believing that markets are neutral telling yourself that if price goes up it must "deserve it".

Take the 🔴💊red pill and you realize that price is simply the outcome of decisions made in private rooms where capital always outweighs citizenship.

1⃣In 2008, after the collapse triggered by toxic mortgage securitization, foreclosures in the United States surged into the millions.

Families were removed from homes by court order while the institutions that packaged and distributed the underlying risk were stabilized through emergency liquidity facilities and taxpayer-funded bailouts.

The calculus was explicit: systemic banks were “too big to fail” but households were not.

Stability of the financial architecture took precedence over the security of individual lives.

Evictions, bankruptcies, mental health crises, and documented increases in stress-related mortality followed in communities hit hardest by foreclosure waves.

2⃣During the European sovereign debt crisis, particularly in Greece after 2010, bond yields soared and bailout programs were conditioned on severe austerity.

Public health budgets were cut immediately.
Hospitals faced shortages of supplies.
Unemployment spiked above 25%, youth unemployment far higher.
Academic studies later documented increases in depression, suicide rates, and reduced access to medical care.

Fiscal consolidation satisfied creditor demands and stabilized bond spreads, but the social cost was measurable in deteriorating health outcomes and lost livelihoods.

3⃣Commodity speculation was no different.

In the run-up to the 2007–2008 global food price crisis, wheat and corn prices climbed dramatically amid supply shocks and increased participation in futures.

For investors, volatility in agricultural contracts represented tradable opportunity.

For low-income and import-dependent countries, food inflation translated into unrest and hunger.

Food riots erupted in multiple regions.

--------------------------------------------------------

The bottom line is that none of these episodes require a secret cabal.

When return is the only thing that matters, everything that doesn’t show up in profits gets ignored.

If austerity keeps bond markets calm but weakens public healthcare, the system still calls it a success.

If someone makes money speculating on food prices while hunger rises somewhere else, the profit is recorded, the suffering is not.

Human lives are rarely attacked directly, but they are often pushed aside.

The system is built to protect solvency, liquidity, and yield.

If that protection requires foreclosures, layoffs, cuts to healthcare, or less investment in public services, the mechanism doesn’t stop.

Markets can create wealth and growth but those who control the world will turn crises and vulnerability into profit opportunities.

[Jillian All-$$ @Silly__Jilly]

In the Union’s preseason press conference with Bradley Carnell and Jon Scheer, I asked about the versatility of newly acquired defender Finn Sundstrom and how his past as a midfielder may come into play.

“I always speak about all around capabilities, right? So Finn is very comfortable at center back, is very comfortable at right back because of his attacking qualities as well. He's a very dynamic forward, progressive type of player. So I would even go as far as to say he could play a very comfortable role in our holding midfield as a six as well.

“So, you know, this is the beauty about getting Finn in our environment. He arrives today. We'll travel with him tomorrow to Spain, and to see and progress as needed. But yeah, we're excited to get him and to see what he has to offer in our training environment.”

@Nastia_7777777 @grok as an international history and finances SME, how accurate is the above post and its assumptions? What do you believe the U.S.’s core interests are in this situation?
