BREAKING: Iran issues a statement claiming their intelligence suggests “Iran's enemies, with the support of a regional country, are preparing to occupy one of the Iranian islands.” “All enemy movements are under the full surveillance of our armed forces. If they step out of line, all the vital infrastructure of that regional country will, without restriction, become the target of relentless attacks,” Iran says.

US: Let's have a ceasefire. Iran: No. *stocks rise*

When the campaigning began in 2024 especially with Elon Musk's podcast appearances, it seemed like there was a real opportunity for a genuine non-partisan front to emerge. Voters appeared ready to prioritize common sense over rigid party affiliations. The cause got lost on the way… It now looks as though this shift will need to come from someone entirely new, rather than from the same entrenched political camps.

I’m really sick of this shit. I’m a total Trump supporter. Never voted against him. For 6 months now, markets get fucking destroyed on every attempt to rally 1%. I understand that Iran was and is a threat and we need to do what’s right for humanity by neutralizing that threat, but I’m sick of this insider shit. Some large cohort of insiders knew for 6 months what was coming and sold every single fucking rally since. This is not a market, it’s a 3rd world casino and I’m really fucking tired of it. My vote will not EVER be for a democrat. I don’t believe in open borders to criminals, I don’t believe in shoving the LGBTQ flag and transgender’ism in anyone’s faces and I don’t believe in crooked politicians that enrich themselves through fraud LLC’s and NGO’s, but I also don’t believe in is this bullshit that I’m witnessing in markets. Everything is a complete fucking fraud and maybe @TuckerCarlson has a point. The American way has lost itself. There are frauds literally everywhere on both sides of the isle and it’s destroying this country inside out.

The most overt market manipulation of our times. Zero pretence.

@Solyricon It is true regardless of gender. They are meant to be lessons.

@aakashgupta Lot of misinformed people entirely dependent on these apps are mentally damaged and have given up their hopes on finding a partner…

Tinder’s co-founder admitted the swipe was modeled on B.F. Skinner’s pigeon experiments. Skinner gave pigeons food at random intervals. The pigeons pecked compulsively, believing their behavior caused the reward. Badeen saw that study and built a dating app on it. 1.6 billion swipes per day. 90 minutes of average daily use. Eleven logins. A male match rate of 0.6%, which means one match per 167 swipes. The behavioral loop works exactly as Skinner predicted. Match Group made $3.5 billion last year. Their paying subscribers declined seven quarters in a row while revenue per payer climbed 17%. The people who find someone leave. The people still looking pay more. The product is optimized for the second group. A gala had the opposite incentive. The host’s reputation rose when people connected. The app’s revenue rises when they don’t. We replaced a system designed to bring people together with a system designed to keep them searching.

BREAKING: President Trump just told 450 million Europeans: sign my deal by Thursday or I cut your gas. And if you think this is impulsive, you are not paying attention. This is the most calculated energy play in American history. Qatar’s LNG is offline. Force Majeure. Ras Laffan shut after Iranian drones hit it on Day 3. Seventeen percent of global LNG capacity gone for 3 to 5 years. Russia’s pipeline gas to Europe was severed after Ukraine. Norway is maxed. Europe’s LNG prices have surged 35 to 50 percent since Hormuz closed. One supplier remains at scale: the United States. Trump’s ambassador to the EU just told the Parliament: ratify the $750 billion trade deal without amendments by Thursday March 26, or lose “favorable access” to American LNG. Now decode the strategic geopolitical chess game which is being played in realtime. Saturday night, Trump posted a 48-hour ultimatum threatening to obliterate Iranian power plants. That was not about Iran. That was about oil prices. He needed them high enough to terrify Europe into ratifying the LNG deal, but not so high that American consumers revolted before the midterms. The ultimatum spiked Brent past $113 and WTI past $100 on Sunday. Monday morning, Trump posted about “productive conversations” and paused the power plant strikes for five days. Oil crashed over 10 percent in hours. WTI hit $89. The S&P surged $2 trillion. He spiked oil to create the fear. Then crashed it to create the relief. The fear makes Europe sign. The relief makes American voters forgive the war. Both moves serve the same president. Both happened within 36 hours. Both were executed with social media posts, not missiles. The $750 billion deal is the permanent monetisation of Europe’s energy vulnerability. LNG. Oil. Civil nuclear. Locked in until 2028. The EU had been delaying ratification for months. Three wars removed every alternative: Iran removed Qatar, Ukraine removed Russia, Norway’s geology removed Norway. What remains is American LNG. Trump is not selling gas. He is selling the absence of alternatives. The 5-day power-plant pause expires Saturday March 28. The EU Parliament votes Thursday March 26. Europe must ratify American energy dependency two days before the war might escalate again. If the pause collapses Saturday and Iran executes Ghalibaf’s promise to “irreversibly destroy” regional energy infrastructure, European LNG prices spike after the deal is already signed. Trump gets the $750 billion commitment at crisis pricing, then potentially triggers the next crisis 48 hours later. The deal locks in before the leverage expires. This is Trump Doctrine in its purest form. He does not separate trade from security from energy from markets. He operates them as one instrument. The war degrades Iran. The degradation closes Hormuz. The closure spikes energy. The spike terrifies Europe. The terror forces the deal. The deal locks in $750 billion. The pause crashes oil. The crash rallies stocks. The rally preserves midterm support. Every move funds the next move. He used the words “Department of War” in the pause announcement. Not Defence. The pre-1947 name. The name that tells Europe: the man offering you gas can resume bombing power plants on Saturday. Yesterday Russia signed a deal to build Vietnam’s first nuclear plant. Today Trump threatens to cut Europe’s gas. Two great powers selling energy security to two desperate continents during the same war. Both profit from the crisis. Both lock in decades of dependency. Both timed the offer to the moment the customer cannot refuse. The strait closed the alternatives. The ultimatum created the fear. The pause created the relief. The deal monetises both. Thursday is payday. Full deep dive analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

So the global markets rallied because Trump announced progress in talks leading to a 5-day ceasefire *and* Iran categorically denied it *and* everyone believed Iran more than Trump.

They aren’t even trying to hide the stock market manipulation

Trump is officially panicking because US Treasuries and stocks are wobbling, the attacks to Iran power plants ALREADY HAPPENED earlier today and Iran is already set to retaliate after sunset. He is trying to show he is still in control while he isn’t, Iran made it already clear they won’t end hostilities till US has no military bases left in the region and there won’t be anymore risk of repeat of another attack in the future.
