Facing a standoff deadline, Trump capitulated and said he has been in talks with Iran for 2 days and they are close to making a deal. Iran has denied any such talks are taking place. Trump then claims Witkoff and Kushner are talking with Iran via Pakistan because Iran has refused to speak with either of them since the US initiated war. Iran denies this. Trump says he has brokered a cease fire for five days. Israel is bombing Iran’s infrastructure. Meanwhile a rabid Wall Street gyrates with every Trump statement.
There are three possible reasons for Trump’s lie:
- The retaliation agreement posted by Iran targeted US bases and installations throughout the entire gulf region, including desalinization plants which the gulf states rely on for upwards of 90% of their water. It would make sense that the gulf states as represented by King Salman called Trump and warned him that the entire gulf would side with Iran if the US went forth with their threat. In such a scenario, the continued ability for Trump to pretend to be President would be vanquished.
- Trump was told that the Military wasn’t ready yet, ships are still en route, the USS Gerald Ford was forced to return due to the fire damage leaving Trump minus 5,000 pilots and he needs time – 5 days – to ratchet replacements. Repairs and maintenance to the Gerald Ford is expected to last 2 years.
- The 3 major hedge funds, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street need more market volatility to make trillion in profits – 5 more days.
Temporary Peace proposals have never amounted to squat! There is always a break – he lobbed this – he lobbed that, and the dodge-ball game falls apart when someone gets smacked in the head and starts crying. Trump is crying – and King Salman likely threw the ball at Trump’s head.

Reuters Updated Military News:
As of 2 days ago when Trump claimed he began talks with Iran that never happened, 2500 Marines were deployed on 3 additional warships. They are expected to arrive near Iran as of Friday. Coinciding with Trump’s 5 day “Cease Fire” claim. Marines would likely be headed to the Kharg Island which has been a rumored target given its refinery value. The island has been surrounded with mines making deployment a death trap.
The fact that this information is publicly announced gives Iran the opportunity to secure the island, and ready their missiles to fire upon the warships before they can make landfall. It also reveals why Trump’s various media narratives were so sloppy and noncohesive. Once again reminding the world that when Trump speaks – it is a LIE. King Salman will not project ‘respect’ when Trump’s miscarriage of honesty and integrity are on full display.
The Middle East will not be the same. The markets will react with hot spikes in oil. All hope that Trump might be speaking some semblance of truth has just BLOWN UP! Pakistan could enter the fray in support of Iran. And the semblance of patience employed by Gulf countries is likely to snap.
Lufthansa has announced limited flights through the end of October. Gas stations across Australia and India are empty. Expect panic buying and theft. Colorado has been hit hard and other states will flow. Food prices are up 3% – although fresh veggies are up nearly 50%. Treasury yields are higher, meaning government debt interest ballooned and could cause a spiral wherein the Fed actually goes bankrupt between War and Debt.
So. We now have exactly 4 days to supply.
Trump lied? No shit Sherlock. Trump is a stooge led by two other zionist stooges, Witkoff and Kushner. These talmudist stooges have seized one aspect of the Struassian philosophy, the noble lie, to mean lying is noble. Caught in a lie? Meh, it has accomplished what it was intended to do. it remains for others to sweep up the mess.
The USA is swirling in the giant toilet, the billionaires who run the show stand back smiling, their billions are safe.
I doubt Trump is ‘led’ by Kushner and Witkoff, however, his cabinet becomes more and more weird and oddly a cabinet of person who are completely incompetent. Purposefully. These ‘picks’ are made from the outside. And Trump complies. He is powerless – I am thinking there is someone else much more prominent in the Epstein Files that would spike a global OMGOSH
Would an additional perspective shed some light?

The Nitrogen Trap Just Closed
BREAKING: The nitrogen trap just closed. Three locks snapped shut simultaneously. The planting window is closing behind them. And the food the world eats next year is now being decided by molecules that cannot reach the soil in time.
Lock one: the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC permissioned corridor allows oil tankers from friendly nations to pay $2 million in yuan and pass. It does not allow fertiliser vessels to pass at any price. Zero approved fertiliser transits in 24 days. The Gulf supplies 49 percent of the world’s exported urea and roughly 30 percent of traded ammonia. That supply is not delayed. It is denied. The gate opens for molecules that fund the gatekeeper. It stays closed for molecules that feed the planet.
Lock two: Russia. The world’s largest exporter of ammonium nitrate just halted all AN exports until after April 21. Three to four million tonnes per year, gone from global markets at the exact moment the Northern Hemisphere needs it most. The official reason is “domestic priority.” The strategic effect is leverage. Russia earns windfall revenue from the oil price spike its ally’s war created, then removes the fertiliser that farmers need to plant through the crisis. The disease and the cure, again, from the same address.
Lock three: China. Beijing has banned exports of nitrogen-potassium blends and phosphate fertilisers through August 2026. China is the world’s largest phosphate producer and a major nitrogen supplier. The ban removes the last alternative source that could have compensated for Hormuz and Russia. Three locks. Three countries. Three deliberate decisions timed to the same biological calendar.
The biological calendar does not negotiate. Corn requires nitrogen at the V6 to VT growth stage or kernel set is permanently reduced. Wheat requires it at tillering and jointing or grain fill collapses. Rice requires it at transplanting or yield drops 20 to 40 percent in low-input systems. These are not economic models. They are cellular processes. The plant either receives nitrogen during the window or it does not. If it does not, no subsequent application, no price increase, no policy reversal can recover what was lost. The damage is written into the biology of the seed.
The US Corn Belt window closes mid-April. European top-dressing is happening now. Indian Kharif preparation begins in May. Bangladeshi Boro rice transplanting is underway this week. Every one of these windows is closing while the three largest sources of nitrogen on Earth are simultaneously locked: Hormuz by military blockade, Russia by export decree, China by trade ban.
The USDA Prospective Plantings report arrives March 31. The FAO Food Price Index publishes April 3. These will quantify what the molecules already know: the nitrogen did not arrive. The yield loss is locked in. The 5 to 10 percent global drag will concentrate where the buffers are thinnest: subsistence farms in Bangladesh, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, where a 20 percent shortfall does not mean lower profits. It means hunger.
Sri Lanka banned synthetic fertiliser in 2021. Rice yields collapsed 40 percent. The government fell. In 2008, fertiliser and oil spiked simultaneously and food riots erupted across 30 countries. In 2026, the strait blocks fertiliser while Russia and China withdraw the alternatives, and the planting windows close on a planet with nowhere else to turn.
The war is fought with missiles. The famine is fought with molecules. The molecules are trapped behind three locks on three continents, timed to the one calendar that cannot be paused, extended, or negotiated: the calendar written into the DNA of every seed in the soil.

Excellent Analysis – TY
The other side of this is that Israel is now making fake milk and beef – approved by the FDA WITHOUT labeling… Restaurants and Grocery Stores do not have to tell you it is chemically derived.
NICE ANALYSIS!! 46% increase in farm bankruptcies in US already. Plants do not require fertilizer to grow. Instead, they make their own food through a process known as photosynthesis. Fertilizer only provides more nutrients to the soil for healthy plant growth.

My two nephews in the air force were deployed out of Oklahoma two weeks ago. This has been going on. God help us all.
