I gotta be honest with you, guys. The reason Apples and I didn't do a video for the last week is because I've been masking up, fitting my PPE gear, cleaning my Covaids hazmat suit. I've just been so scared of the Hannah virus. And, you should be too, because if you look at the numbers, Hantavirus worldwide deaths are way up in 2025 to 300 people out of 8 billion! The Covaids crisis actors and hellth people have been waiting in the wings for a new fabricated “virus” for six years. And, it looks like their time has come. Rather than focusing on the Disney Cruise Ship where 27 pedophile staff members were arrested for possessing and distributing child pornography, the media has suddenly turned the MV Hondius into the centerpiece of the latest “global emergency.” If you have been keeping an eye on the wire lately, you already know the scriptwriters are getting incredibly lazy. They are running the exact same simulation playbooks, recycling the same numbers, and expecting everyone to just line up, tune in, and panic on cue. It is like living in a cross between The Truman Show and The Matrix, where the background code keeps flashing the same repeating digits. Let’s pull back the curtain on this latest production. They want you to look at the sudden noise surrounding a hantavirus “outbreak.” Let us do some basic math. The last time they ran a major public narrative on this was back in 1993 with the Four Corners hantavirus outbreak, an event that famously peaked with exactly 33 initial cases during its baseline run. Do the math on that window. It is exactly 33 years ago. The script gets even lazier: Look up the Pfizer 5.3.6 cumulative analysis document released via the Freedom of Information Act. Flip to the massive appendix listing adverse events of special interest. What do you know? Hantavirus pulmonary infection is sitting right there on page 33. Check the media reports covering the recent South Atlantic cruise ship incident. The headlines screaming about a “nightmare voyage” just happen to emphasize a 33-day itinerary. They are barely trying to hide the timestamps anymore. They want you to believe this is just a rare evolutionary leap from rodents to humans, but the timing is about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Just last month, the WHO wrapped up Exercise Polaris II, a massive simulation where 600 experts from 26 countries practiced responding to a global respiratory outbreak. It is almost impressive how rapidly we went from a tabletop exercise in April to people masking up and demanding isolation, quarantine, and an urgent vaccine – all for a virus that, at this moment, has exactly 3 deaths. The parallels between the 2020 scamdemic and this so-called Hantavirus outbreak are impossible to ignore if you recognize the playbook: In 2019, we had Event 201. In April 2026, we had Exercise Polaris II. Both served as massive drills for the exact scenarios that materialized just weeks later. Just as the Diamond Princess was utilized to set the stage for global lockdowns in 2020, the MV Hondius is being used to “prove” that the Andes strain of Hantavirus can spread person-to-person, something previously deemed nearly impossible. The media is already spinning the Andes virus as having a 35-50% mortality rate. It is the perfect upgrade from Covaids; they don’t require high transmission rates if the high lethality is enough to terrify people into staying in their homes. In the summer of 2024, Murderna partnered with the Korea University Vaccine Innovation Center to develop an mRNA-based hantavirus vaccine. They weren't alone, either; Big Pharma and the US Department of War have been quietly working on 13 different hantavirus vaccines. Five years ago, in May 2021, Bill Gates’ GAVI Vaccine Alliance published an article explicitly titled, “The Next Pandemic: Hantavirus?” Predictably, the official narrative is already blaming “unusual weather patterns” and “rodent migration due to climate change.” It’s a perfect package deal for the globalists: a health scare and a climate mandate rolled into one. Naturally, there is a Jewish crisis actor involved in the narrative. The sole person speaking out from aboard this modern Black Plague ship is Jake Rosmarin, a heavily promoted media influencer. Rosmarin previously interned at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and his sister works for Hagerty Consulting – an organization active in major US disaster responses, including 9/11. This isn't Jake’s first time at the crisis-acting rodeo, either; bac
Welcome to the simulation. If you are still operating under the assumption that this 3D reality is base existence, it is time to force a hard reboot on your cognitive mainframe. We are all just consciousness navigating a highly sophisticated, multi sensory video game, yet the vast majority of players are completely blind to the user interface. Today, Eric Meder and I are deep-diving into personal sovereignty, examining the psychological traps of hedonism, the power of deep shadow work, and the necessity of absolute presence. Plus… Building physical and financial islands of freedom, exploring everything from off-grid mountain homesteading and advanced plasma energy healing to starving the state by deploying true privacy assets like Monero. The conditioning starts early. Think back to your childhood. At six years old, you are thrown into government indoctrination camps that resemble a low security prison, taught exactly what to think, and trained to respect an authority structure designed to break your spirit. Most people spend their entire lives trying to master the rules of a rigged game, chasing the standard script: go to school, secure a lifelong death contract disguised as a mortgage, pay your tribute to the state, and call it a day. Getting a grasp on how deep the rabbit hole goes often requires a massive systemic shock. For some, it happens when a massive, near billion dollar financial enterprise crashes to absolute zero overnight because the central banking cartel decided to pop an engineered bubble. When you finally read the actual playbook of how central banking operates, the entire illusion of free markets shatters. You realize that global events, manufactured geopolitical conflicts, and economic collapses are not random occurrences. They are carefully scripted features of the matrix. Most people who start pulling at these systemic threads inevitably hit a wall of nihilism or plunge into absolute hedonism. You can travel to a hundred countries, chase every material indulgence imaginable, and spend your nights partying across the globe, only to realize none of it satisfies the human spirit. True happiness is found when you strip away the distractions and do the grueling shadow work required to reclaim your autonomy. Unlocking the next level of this video game takes immense dedication. It means treating mental discipline like a warrior, confronting personal trauma head on, and realizing a fundamental truth: your mind is completely separate from the real you. When you master your internal state, you stop reacting to the external programming. You become entirely present. The corporate state is actively attempting to centralize everything, pushing humanity toward hyper tracked smart cities, digital currencies, and complete dependence on their fragile systems. To escape the upcoming grid, localized self-reliance is the only practical solution! True sovereignty means taking massive, calculated action to separate yourself from the control matrix before the lock turns: Secure Tangible Assets: Transition out of fiat illusions and establish real world foundations, like independent homesteads located far from major metropolitan choke points. Establish Grid Independence: Secure alternative energy sources like solar power and tap into natural wells or creeks for absolute water security. Prioritize Physical Resilience: Maintain optimal health to counter environmental toxins through regular detoxification protocols and maintaining internal energy balance. Develop Strategic Foresight: Train your intuition to recognize the signs and symbols built into the simulation so you can adapt ahead of the crowd. The matrix shifts rapidly, and when a crisis triggers, access points close within hours. Waiting for a centralized entity to rescue you is a losing strategy. To truly step away from their crumbling architecture, you have to seize absolute control over your biology and your capital. The medical-industrial complex is a massive trap designed to keep you perpetually sick and dependent. They drop a cocktail of barium, aluminum, and nanotech via chemtrails, contaminate the food supply with weaponized seed oils and bioengineered vaccines, and run labs like the one at Plum Island where they cooked up Lyme disease to afflict hundreds of thousands annually. When you get sick, they send you to a salesman in a butcher coat who hooks you on Pfizer products that guarantee you stay a profitable customer. Real health sovereignty means bypassing their system entirely. One of the single greatest breakthro
They call it “Tax Day.” I call it the annual energy harvest. Most people scramble to meet the April 15th deadline, hearts racing, palms sweaty, terrified that a group of men in suits might send a generated letter to their house. It is the ultimate manifestation of the government indoctrination camps we were all forced into for 12 years. They didn't just teach you math and history; they trained you to be a slave who fears The Man even when you’re fifty years old. I sat down with Christopher Gronski from DestinationFreedom.org recently to talk about this. Christopher is a guy I’ve watched for nearly a decade. I was cautious at first because I don't want to lead anyone into a trap. But after seeing smart, high-net-worth members of the Vigilante Insiders Club use his process successfully for years, I’m fully on board. The biggest hurdle isn't the law. It’s the fear inside your head. Christopher pointed out something profound: the IRS isn't actually thinking about you. There isn't a room full of agents plotting your demise because you didn't file. It's just an algorithm. A machine. And that machine only has power because you keep telling it that you are its subject. Most Americans are constantly asked: “Are you a US Citizen?” They say “yes” without realizing they are opting into a specific, federal jurisdiction… the District of Columbia. The reality is that you are choosing to be a citizen of a federal corporation rather than a sovereign of your own state! Income tax is an excise tax on a privilege. Your labor isn't a privilege; it’s your right. The so-called privilege you’re paying for is that 14th Amendment citizenship. If you don't want what they’re handing out… the wars, the surveillance, the control… you can simply choose to stop participating in the privilege. When you pay these taxes, you aren't just ‘contributing to society’. Look at where that money goes. It doesn't build the roads; the Grace Commission proved that decades ago. Your income tax goes to central bankers to pay interest on a debt that can never be settled. Worse, you are transferring your current-cy (which is literally your energy) to people who use it for: Financing genocides and endless wars. Supporting a system run by the most degenerate, evil elements of society. Maintaining the very matrix that keeps you enslaved. From a karma perspective, this is a nightmare. The universe doesn't care about your excuses or your fear. It just sees you financing the destruction of life. You don't have to fight the monster. You don't have to stand in front of the IRS building with a sign like Christopher used to do in New Hampshire. You just have to do the paperwork. Christopher’s process is peaceful. It’s about correcting an administrative error. You’re simply telling the system, “I got confused. I’m not a citizen of the District of Criminals. I’m a free being.” Get into meditation. Realize you are pure consciousness having a 3D experience. No organization of men has inherent authority over your soul. Recognize that the IRS is an automated system of paper, not a vengeful god. The fear was programmed into you in “school.” Execute the necessary processes to remove yourself from federal jurisdiction. It is a peaceful, legal exit from a trap you were tricked into. Keep the fruit of your labor. Use that energy to build your own life and community instead of funding the destruction of others. The world is changing. People are waking up to the fact that they've been brainwashed. April 15th doesn't have to be a day of drama or dread. It can just be another Monday in paradise while the District of Criminals wonders where all their energy went. If you’re ready to stop being a 14th Amendment slave and start being a free human being, go talk to Christopher. I’ve seen it work. I’ve watched it for years. Stay free. <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://dollarvigilante.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Thumbnail-2-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-923482" srcset="https://dollarvigilante.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Thumbnail-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dollarvigilante.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Thumbnail-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dollarvigilante.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Thumbnail-2-768x432.jpg 768w, ht
The Frequency of Freedom: Everything You’ve Been Wanting to Know About the TZLA Club and Plasma Technology Over the last couple of years, you’ve heard me raving about the TZLA Machine. You’ve heard Stew Peters talking about it. You’ve heard David Icke talking about it. You’ve even heard Mad Max Igan talking about it. And every single time we do, people ask the same questions: “What exactly IS this thing?” “How does it work?” “Is this real?” “Why are so many people saying it’s changing their lives?” And maybe the biggest question of all: “Why does it feel like they never wanted humanity to rediscover this technology in the first place?” Well… today I’m giving you the opportunity to watch the TZLA TALK session from Anarchapulco GENESIS in Puerto Vallarta… ABSOLUTELY FREE! Now, if you’re new to this whole thing, let me explain why this matters. We are entering a period in human history where centralized systems are becoming openly hostile to individual freedom. Governments. Big Pharma. Central banks. AI systems. Digital IDs. CBDCs. Mass surveillance. Predictive behavioral control. The system is moving toward a world where every aspect of your life becomes tracked, controlled and programmable. And, if you think that sounds crazy, you simply haven’t been paying attention. The dream of the technocratic elite is a fully connected digital prison where human beings become nodes plugged directly into the mainframe – monitored biologically, financially and psychologically in real time. A smart concentration camp. One where most people won’t even realize they’re inmates. And, the terrifying part is how many people are volunteering for it. But there’s another path emerging. A path of sovereignty… decentralization… reconnecting to the natural energy systems of the human body and the universe itself. And, that’s one of the reasons the TZLA Machine has become so important to so many people. What started as a strange plasma device discovered by a handful of open-minded explorers has now become a global movement of people rediscovering the power of energy, frequency and self-healing outside the pharmaceutical paradigm. Two years ago, someone walked up to me at Anarchapulco with a device that looked like a mad scientist’s invention with glowing bulbs attached to it… And, honestly, I was skeptical. Then he started talking about Nikola Tesla, ether, and frequency healing. Naturally, I was interested immediately… because if the establishment mocks something that hard, there’s usually a massive truth hidden underneath. Then I started seeing things I couldn’t explain away. People and pets recovering faster. Pain disappearing. Energy increasing. Chronic issues improving. Mental clarity returning. And thousands of testimonials later, it’s become impossible for me to ignore what’s happening. Are you ready to see what's possible when you stop listening to the “experts” and start paying attention to real-world results? This is your opportunity to finally find out what it’s all about. Just watch the video. Don’t miss the Anarchapulco Virtual Non-Conformists Series on May 16th and 17th, 2026, where we’re pulling back the curtain completely on the TZLA Machine, plasma technology, sovereignty, resilience and what it all actually means for humanity going forward. And the best part is: You do not need to join the TZLA Club to attend. Watch on: <a href="https://vigilante.tv/w/8iogHVyz
First, there were the Wuhan bats. Now they’re talking about the Hanta rats. Kill Gates specializes in killer mosquitoes and now he’s managed to find a new way to promote his lab burgers and cricket tacos: TICKS. In today’s video, Stew Peters and I talk about the Rockefeller 2035 agenda, and how to bypass their simulation using the suppressed plasma energy of the TZLA machine to reclaim your health and sovereignty before the grid goes dark. They want the population down to 500 million. They told us on the Georgia Guidestones and then knocked them down when the plan went live. They want you starving, fluoride-brained, and terrified of your own neighbor. The solution for 2035? A micro-needle transdermal patch with an embedded QR code. No more fumbling for your phone to prove you're a “good citizen.” It’s in your skin. If your mRNA levels aren't up to code, your smart fridge won't open and your car won't start. It’s murder for money and killing for cash. From the poisons in the sky to the toxic dyes in your TV meals, you are living in a permanent biowarfare zone. I’ve been tracking these cycles for a long time, and what we’re seeing right now with the ‘tick explosion’ is the next phase of the script. It’s no coincidence that as the elites at Davos openly brainstorm how to force humanity off red meat, we suddenly have a massive surge in the Lone Star tick. This isn't just nature being invasive as it’s being positioned; it’s a targeted biological attack. One bite from this Kill Gates-funded special and you develop an alpha-gal allergy. Suddenly, you can’t eat beef or pork without going into anaphylactic shock. And who just happens to be the largest owner of farmland in America and the primary investor in lab-grown synthetic meat? Kill Gates. They create the problem (a tick that makes you allergic to real food) and then they sell you the solution: a burger grown in a bioreactor from immortalized cancer cells and chemical sludge. They never stop at one front. Just like they used the 2020 plandemic to see how many people would willingly suffocate themselves with masks, they’re now dusting off the Hanta hoax, following the exact same fear-based script to keep you locked down and looking for a “savior” in $cience with special jabs already in development. They’ve been working on these mosquito and tick-based delivery systems for decades. We know Lyme disease was birthed in a US government lab – specifically the Plum Island facility – and now half a million people a year are being crippled by it. The butcher-coat doctors tell you it's “incurable” or “all in your head” while they drain your bank account with antibiotics that destroy your gut biome. This is why the TZLA machine is the most dangerous piece of technology on the planet for the Rockefeller medical complex. They want you terrified of a tick bite because they want you dependent on their “meat” and their “cures.” But plasma energy doesn't care about their lab-created bacteria. We’ve seen members of the TZLA Club use high-frequency plasma to literally kill off the Lyme bacteria and the co-infections like Bartonella that the medical system ignores. I’ve heard from people who were bedridden, suffering from neurological brain fog and chronic pain, who used the TZLA machine and felt the clarity return in twenty minutes. We even had a member who found a tick burrowed under his skin, applied the TZLA, and the next day the tick was dead and the infection was gone. It’s a total biological reset. While they’re trying to use “Hanta” or “Lyme” to distance you from your Creator and force you into a digital prison, this technology (hidden for a hundred years by the same people who brought you lyme disease… the CIA…) gives you your sovereignty back. The walls are closing in, but only if you’re still playing by their rules. If you want to survive the next year or two of planned starvation, energy shortages, and “tick-borne” meat bans, you need to be at the virtual experience this May 16th and 17th. Get your ticket for the Non-Confirmists virtual event and look into the TZLA Club. I don’t know how much longer we’ll be allowed to talk about this tech before the “Mind Control” (government) tries to shut it down again. They’ve got the fake pastors and the fake doctors telling you to trust the system. I’m telling you to trust the physics of the universe and your own ability to be independent. Watch your ears, watch your hair, and for God’s sake, don't let them take your steak. See you in the simulation. <figure class="wp-
Everyone is watching the charts, waiting for the bottom to fall out of the US dollar, but what if the economic crash is merely the curtain-raiser for a far more significant event? The chaos we see in banks and governments isn't just a failure of policy – it’s an apocalypse in the truest sense of the word: a lifting of the veil designed to force us to confront who really created this reality. Most people miss the point entirely. They think it’s about the price of gold, or Bitcoin, or whether they have enough cans of beans in the basement. While those things have their place, they are just the symptoms. The real shift is happening in your head, and possibly in your soul. Cast your mind back to the late 90s. I was sitting on top of the world. I had started an internet company in Canada, operating right out of my living room. It exploded. We’re talking about a valuation of around $240 million. That was an astronomical amount of money back then, the kind of money that buys you entrance to the club. You think you’ve made it. You think the system works. Then it collapsed. I went from everything to nothing in a blink. I didn’t understand it. The mechanics of it didn't make sense. How could something that “real” vanish so quickly? It was that confusion that drove me to find answers. But not the answers you get on CNN. I ended up having dinner with Doug Casey in Vancouver around that time. Doug looked me in the eye, asked me a few questions about what I believed, and dropped a label on me I didn’t even understand at the time. He told me I was a libertarian. That was a new word for me. But he wasn't done. He dug a little deeper and said, “You know what you really are, don't you? You're an anarchist.” I’ll admit, at the time, I flinched. Like most people, I had been programmed by the box in the living room to think an anarchist was a guy in a black balaclava throwing a Molotov cocktail through a bank window. I didn't realize that the word simply means “without rulers.” An-archos. No masters. No slaves. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. If you don’t believe you should be a slave, you’re an anarchist. It’s not that complicated. My journey down the rabbit hole really accelerated when I picked up a copy of The Creature from Jekyll Island. If you haven't read it, you need to. It strips away the curtain on the Federal Reserve and reveals the central banking system for what it is: a colossal scam. I read that book shortly after 9/11, a time when the official narrative was falling apart faster than my internet company had. They tried to tell me that a guy in a cave in Afghanistan with box cutters orchestrated the most sophisticated military failure in history. I looked at the monetary system, I looked at the towers falling, and I realized: everything is a lie. The collapse wasn't an accident. The financial destruction, the inflation that robs your savings, the boom-and-bust cycles… It's all manufactured. It’s a feature, not a bug. The central banking system is a parasite. It creates money out of thin air, loans it to governments at interest, and you are the collateral. The dollar in your pocket is not money; it's a debt note. Let me repeat: The central banking system isn't there to help you. It’s an extraction mechanism. It’s a way to siphon your energy, your time, and your labor and funnel it up to the top of the pyramid. We are rapidly approaching the end of this cycle. The dollar collapse isn’t a prediction; it’s a mathematical certainty. They can print trillions and lie about statistics, but they cannot break the laws of physics. When the bubble bursts, the elites won't say, “Oops, our bad.” They will use the crisis to offer the solution they wanted all along: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). Programmable money that can be turned off if you dissent. This is the trap snapping shut. But here is the tragedy: Most people will walk right into the trap willingly. They are under a spell spun with silver coins and golden words. You have to understand the money to understand the prison. Money is just energy. It’s supposed to be a neutral exchange of value between free human beings. But in this inverted reality, it has been weaponized. The US dollar is a debt instrument. It’s a control leash wrapped around your neck. You have to start looking at words differently, too. Take the word “government.” Most people think it means a group of benevolent people organizing society to keep the roads paved and the peace kept. But if you look at the etymology, it comes from two Latin words: gubernare, meaning “to control,” and mente, meaning
You might not know from my walk and talks that the Dollar Vigilante is . I’ve talked about a lot of stuff over the past decade while walking my dogs, but you might not know that the Dollar Vigilante is actually a financial newsletter that I started around 2016 with my business partner Ed Bugos. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but when we first started, gold was around 700 or less. Silver was probably 5 or 10 dollars. Bitcoin didn’t even exist in any meaningful way to most people. It kind of did, but I didn’t even hear about it until 2011. We recommended it at around 3 dollars. Since then we’ve seen a massive shift in everything. This is what the Dollar Vigilante is about. This is what our newsletter is about. We’ve had some incredible calls over the years and I wanted to have Ed Bugos on the show again because there is a lot going on this year and it feels like one of those moments where things can get very strange very quickly. For example, US stock markets are basically at all time highs again even though we are in what is supposed to be a war cycle and major geopolitical tension. Even Trump recently said he expected that when the attack on Iran happened, markets would fall 25%. That didn’t happen. They dipped a bit and then went right back to highs. He also mentioned oil could go to 200 or 300 dollars. Oil did spike, but it is still far below those panic levels and is currently around the 100 dollar range depending on the day. So, there’s a lot to unpack. Stocks, oil, gold, silver, crypto, and this strange disconnect between reality and markets. In today’s video, Ed and I talk about a number of things. First of all, what the Dollar Vigilante really means at its core. A lot of people hear “dollar collapse” and assume it means an immediate crash in the currency. That is not really what we have been describing for years. What we have been talking about is something slower and more structural. The dollar has been losing purchasing power for decades. If you go back to when the Federal Reserve system really took shape in the early 1900s and when gold backing was removed later on, you are looking at a long term erosion rather than a sudden collapse. The number that always stands out is that the dollar has lost over 98 percent of its purchasing power over time. That is not speculation. That is just what happens when you expand supply and suppress the cost of capital for decades. But what people miss is that the collapse is not just versus other currencies. It is versus real things. Housing, food, energy, equities, everything that matters in daily life keeps getting more expensive in dollar terms. That is why we call it a dollar collapse theme. It is not a single moment. It is a process that stretches over generations. We also chat about something that really stands out to both of us. The market cycle we are in now is one of the longest sustained bull markets in history when you adjust for interventions. Since the 2008 crisis and really since the founding of this newsletter in 2010, we have basically been in an upward market environment with only brief and shallow corrections. The Federal Reserve response after 2008 changed everything. QE1, QE2, QE3 and then the massive expansion during 2020 completely reshaped how markets behave. Trillions of dollars were created and interest rates were pushed to zero for long periods. That kind of intervention does not just inflate prices. It changes behavior. It changes risk perception. It changes how investors think about downturns because every time there is even a small correction, there is an expectation that policy will step in. But Ed makes an important point that often gets missed in these discussions. Even though this has been heavily inflated by monetary policy, there is still real productivity underneath it, especially in technology. Profit margins expanded significantly in big tech over the last decade. Companies found ways to increase revenue without proportional increases in labor costs. So what we are seeing is not just fake prices. It is a mixture of real innovation and artificial liquidity. That combination is what makes this period so unusual. The core idea is that we are sitting in a system where almost every major asset class is stretched in some way. Stocks are concentrated and expensive. Bonds are under pressure. Oil is volatile due to geopolitical risk. Crypto is transitioning through a maturity phase. And AI is driving both real growth and speculative excess at the same time. At some point one of these pressures tends to trigger a broader repricing. That is what The Dollar Vigilante has always focused on. Not predicting exact timing, but understanding the structure beneath the surface. Because most of what looks stable in the moment is actual
Don’t miss today’s walk ‘n talk for more truth about the Beekeepers and the Hive Mind. And… Maybe the Ba’al Room Blitz script was so predictable because it was based on a Clint Eastwood movie about a shooting at a White House dinner released… drumroll please… 33 years ago! Would it surprise you that three days before the ballroom incident, Drumpf reposted Clint Eastwood. Plus… did you hear the one about ‘4 or 5’ snipers killing 42,000 Iranian protesters? No, I didn’t think so – BECAUSE IT NEVER HAPPENED! Then, there’s breaking news from secretary of state, Marco Rubio: The main goal of the war is now to open the Strait of Hormuz. Yes, the goal now is to open the channel that lets the ships through… exactly like it was before the war. The whole thing is so absurd you just can’t make it up. The Iranian navy, reportedly vaporized for the 9th time this week according to Pentagram fan fiction, has once again closed the Strait of Hormuz. Right on cue, the United States is gearing up to win its seventh “Not-A-War” to reopen a shipping lane that was perfectly functional before the Department of War decided to “liberate” the water. Then you have the ultimate peak-irony moment: the only nation on Earth to actually use nuclear weapons is currently threatening to use nuclear weapons to ensure Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons. Why? Because nuclear weapons are dangerous, obviously. If the United States watched the United States overthrow governments, occupy countries, spy on citizens, print money into oblivion, censor dissent, arm extremists, and fund dictators, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the dangerous authoritarian regime known as the United States. But hey, that’s just democracy at work, right? Current Status: Optimized for maximum absurdity. Just keep scrolling, Citizen. Nothing to see here. We have been told for two and a half months that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. That is one of the most vital arteries for global energy. In a sane world, oil should be at $200 or $300 a barrel. Instead, it is sitting at $102. Do you really think that is market forces? Drumpf is out there acting like he is in charge, claiming he is fine with a 25% market dip to stop “mentally deranged” people from getting nukes. The reality is that he is not in charge of anything. He is just a character in the play. The math does not add up unless you look at the coincidental timing of the trades. We saw nearly a billion dollars in crude oil shorts taken exactly 70 minutes before a peace deal report leaked. Someone made $125 million in an hour. This is not a market; it is a controlled demolition. While you are distracted by the political theater, the physical world is being dismantled. Refineries: Over a million barrels of capacity in the US are offline. They call it planned maintenance. It is funny how everything is planned just right when we are hitting a deficit. Global Supply: Middle Eastern and Russian oil are basically gone. Refineries in Texas and silver facilities in Kazakhstan are blowing up. The Jet Fuel Cliff: Airlines are canceling thousands of flights. Germany's Lufthansa is cutting 20,000 flights through October. The 33/66 Signal: Iraq is offering oil discounts of exactly $33. The closure of Gulf airports has disrupted 33% of European journeys to Asia. We are heading toward a tank bottom scenario. Analysts are finally admitting that Europe will hit the floor in May and the US will follow by July 4th. This is not just a crisis; it is a transition to a Mad Max reality for the unprepared. Even if the Strait of Hormuz opened today, it would take seven months to fix the damage. The political clock and the functional clock are not the same. The market is not pricing in the aftermath because the market is a hallucination. The 3D video game is glitching in real-time and the “planned” outages are finally catching up to the NPCs. While the masses wait for a political savior to fix the Strait of Hormuz, the smart money is shorting the simulation and prepping for a Mad Max summer: May: Europe hits tank bottoms. May 14: The Trump-Xi summit theater begins. May 16-17: Join us virtually for the Non-Conformists Series to learn how to survive the lifting of the veil.
