the five-second epistemology of: all talk · the agreement is essentially drafted · the empire is fighting over who calls it what
President ALL CAPS says he will blow up Oman if it does not behave.
The empire is not going to blow up Oman.
The empire is not going to blow up Oman because the empire and Iran have a draft agreement on the table. The Iranian delegation knows it. The American delegation knows it. The Pakistanis who hosted twenty-one hours in Islamabad know it. The Omanis who hosted before the war know it. Everyone at the table knows it.
The fight now is not the substance. The substance is settled in everything but the press release. The fight is who gets to call this war what.
The Supreme National Security Council statement is already on the record: the Americans asked for ceasefire on Day 10. The President accepted Iran’s ten-point plan as the framework on Day 40. The talks are stuck only because the enemy raised excessive demands during the talks. Iran has put the storyline in print. The empire is late to the publication.
The previous pattern: ALL CAPS posts on Truth Social claiming a breakthrough; Iran’s Foreign Ministry contradicts by evening; foreign press picks up the contradiction; pass holders see a confused storyline. The cycle has flipped. Iran posts first now. Iran posts substantive. The empire is left writing rebuttals.
The threat to blow up Oman is the latest rebuttal.
The empire’s options once Iran has the publication lead: accept the framing (politically impossible), produce a different framing with substance (impossible because the substance is decided), produce theater (threats, caps lock, civilizational destruction promises, blow up Oman). Theater is the only door left. Theater is what the empire is doing.
This is the empire’s pathetic register. Not pathetic as insult. Pathetic as observation. The empire that ran the post-Cold War unipolar order, the empire that walked through Belgrade, Baghdad, Tripoli without permission, the empire that did not have to bargain — that empire would have signed by now or finished the war by now. The empire on the timeline this week is the empire that has to threaten the mediator to keep the press release vague.
Oman knows it is talk. The Strait stays closed. The Sohar terminal keeps loading. The Duqm terminal keeps loading. The Salalah ships keep clearing. The molecules keep moving through Oman regardless of what Truth Social says. The molecules do not read Truth Social. The molecules read pipeline pressure and port clearance.
The cosmic joke. The empire threatens to demolish the canal because the canal is the visible proof that Iran won. The canal cannot be unwon. The empire is standing inside the building while threatening to blow it up.
The substance was decided on Day 40. Volume is not truth. The truth is the ten-point plan the empire accepted on Day 40 and is now denying it accepted.
Some empire. Some threat. Some canal moving molecules during the threat to demolish the canal. Some all talk.
Day 89. Day 29. Still closed. Still talking. Still the canal. Day 89. ذكية، كاملة. هوشمند، کامل.
@JohnnyNash77 He’s literally been telling you he wants to make a deal for weeks and weeks. You just choose not to believe him because you don’t want to.
@JohnnyNash77 Well that's what happens when you enter into a war with no plan and then let degenerate alcoholic idiots run it. Personally I'll be glad to pay $2.79/gallon for gas again
Remember so many accounts were telling you to buy $TLT in early January.... it is down 5% since then...
When I compare TLT with #GOLD, some geniuses criticise me for not taking into account the dividend of TLT... It is about 4.46% per year ... and gold lease is around 3-5% a year... what am I missing?
TLT is down 40% against gold since Trump's last inaugration, and down over 80% since he left the office.
We don't need to use any charts... the entire game they play relies on interest rates that compensate for fake #inflation. Even if you don't see the obvious lies of BLS, why bother with the funding tool... buy the stock instead... which is what even Swiss National Bank had been doing. If you expect the system to last, buy stock... there is no point in funding this kabuki...
When everything starts to go down, they have to increase money supply even more and cut rates... which will fly gold over 10k...maybe 20k... until then, gold will trade under pressure as it did into GFC before everything blew up....
What we play here is all about excessive money supply at the wrong time of the cycle because of a moron... it will eventually work perfect for gold. TLT will lose another 90% against gold in 5 years... maybe you buy a chewing gum at the end.
CCP is known as "the Club" among Chinese who are not in the Club. They meet several times a year in Beijing and quality of air becomes perfect. Factories are shut down and prices of Ukranian and Russian girls go 3-4 times higher.
Club membeship starts at a very early age and these men go back for more education in different subjects until 41 years old.... staying in barracks all together. Club membeship relies on pure meritocracy and the larger group has a thousand such Super Chinese at every age.
USA faces these men with bunch of clowns and charlatans and their networks.
Let's say you are in the Club and asked what to do about #Trump? He is the best asset China had last 10 years so I doubt they would like to do anything against him but maybe they would like to see him even more crippled.
If you notice, neither Iran, nor China or Russia contradict any lies Trump posts or says to pump the market. It became more obvious since Feb 28 because Trump, Axios and its Al Axios partners repeated blatant lies nearly everyday but Iran answered only after markets closed.
These people know that the Achilles' Heel of Trump is the stock market. Trump relies on baby boomers and extremely gullible patriots... not all patriots. Baby boomers are the main block and they are happy if stocks go up 40% since inaugration, even though it is down 15% against #GOLD. They don't understand how to measure things in real terms.
This game where stocks go nowhere in reality but up against dollar thanks to fake inflation and suppressed yields is not invented by Trump or his misfits. Consider them like cheap bandits who crush in to a mafia house and stole the car for a drive. Mafia drives those cars at 90 mph.... these clowns are driving at 180 mph... they will crash the car for sure... timing is important.
If you are a club member, when would u like to crash the car?
If you crash the car right before November 3, these baby boomers will be shell shocked because they are too dvmb and live only mark to market in dollar terms. If you crash the car a month before the midterms, clowns will have no time to sell a narrative. Besides, the only thing that connects the baby boomers and the clown is the stock market.
If the Club wants to crash the car, they can do it tomorrow. Question is if they want to do that. Do they want to have a crippled clown or completely unhinged clown like what we saw since Feb 2025?
Chinese like to play it safe especially if they are winning. That means they prefer a crippled clown.
I guess all these delays with fake news every few hours are tolerated to blow everything up closer to Nov election. After all, we will definetely run out of any reserves by October.
I know it is super boring now but we will continue to watch this Supermen vs Jokers until end of Summer. Get ready for a Pakistani General to fart to make a draft ready in an hour posted every hour by Al Axios during the week, everyday for 12 more weeks.
