Roth Note: Not the Iranians and not terrorism.

Ok hear me out. I know this is going to come across as tin foil-y but at this point truth is far stranger than fiction.

I wrote earlier this week how the Fauci hearings threw shade to the approval of the Vaccine Queen Erica Schwartz as CDC director and the FDA approval of the new mRNA flu shot, brought to you by Moderna.

Well, the mRNA flu vax is called mFLUSIVA. Siva, or Shiva, is the Hindu demon “god” of death and destruction.

Let that sit for a minute.

It is so nice to have a weekend where Trump did not curse, vilify and threaten Iran with total annihilation. And we do not have to wait until just before the Asian markets open to have another false proclamation that the Strait of Hormuz will be open as negotiations restart because Iran was “begging” for a resolution.

Now we just have to wait and see if Pakistan and Turkey retaliate against Yemen for their attacks on Saudi Arabia. As I said earlier, Trump was trapped. Ego, narcissism and incompetence are not traits for success in any endeavor or position.

What are the lessons learned?

1. The world has entered a new generation for fighting wars. Conventional naval and air systems have been replaced with drones, hypersonic missiles and electronic warfare.
2. AI is an important facet for national security and war.
3. Robotic soldiers will replace human soldiers on the battlefield.
4. The nation which spends the most money on defense will not matter as Iran has proved.
5. Paper tiger nations have and will be exposed. The US and Western Europe will not survive intact or may not even survive.
6. Nations are defeated at the ballot box and the West has been infiltrated with Islam, Communism and Hinduism. Coupled with propaganda, voter fraud and aliens, the West will fall as Spain fell.
7. Israel showed the world that they can buy security for pennies by bribing and blackmailing the US Congress and Presidency.
8. A multipolar world is coming once the USD collapses due to massive debt and the replacement of the petrodollar.

So I will enjoy today without considering the impending Israeli false flag or attack on Iran.

The crisis in Ukraine continues to come to a desperate head. After offering various ceasefires to Russia, Zelensky is now apparently beginning to make some limited concessions:

The Russian strike campaign against Odessa and surrounding infrastructure has been sending the Ukrainian commentariat into a panic. Major Ukrainian supply chain distributors have been admitting that Russian attacks have wiped out their warehouses as stores begin to empty—a clear repercussion of Zelensky’s campaign against Russia’s Wildberries.

A Ukrainian analytical center reports that Russia’s attacks on the ports have caused Ukraine’s iron output to decline by up to 35%, and that 2026 is the most difficult year since the start of the war.

There continue to be various rumors that Russia intends to put a final finishing blow on Kiev, if not all of Ukraine. Ukrainian experts believe on top of power plants, this winter Russia plans to strike various water and waste facilities to shut Kiev down.

Although Donald Trump insists that the Strait of Hormuz is open, it ain’t. There are no direct talks between Iran and US representatives. In fact, it looks like Pakistan’s attempt at mediation is going nowhere. Iran has been talking with Oman, but those talks — despite claims of progress — appear to have stalled.

Iran updated its demands that the US must accept if it wants the Strait of Hormuz back in full operation:

‘Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened.

Correcting behavior means:

1. Never threaten Iran with any language nor insult the sanctities of this nation.
2. End the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq permanently.
3. Lift the naval blockade and withdraw U.S. naval and air forces from the area surrounding Iran.
4. Pay the damages for the two aggressive wars imposed against Iran.
5. Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation.
6. Release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people unconditionally.

These are the demands of the Iranian people who have been relentlessly present in the squares and streets for 160 days.

Some in the West are treating these demands like they are something new. They are not. Let me remind you that in early April 2026 (around April 6), Iran delivered a 10-point proposal (sometimes called a peace plan or counter-proposal) to the United States. It was conveyed via Pakistan, which was mediating. This responded to an earlier U.S. 15-point proposal. Iranian state media and subsequent reporting summarized the key elements; no complete official English text of every point was universally published at the time, but consistent accounts of the main demands included the following:

• A permanent/non-aggression guarantee that Iran (and related fronts) would not be attacked again.
• Continued Iranian coordination/control or a secure transit protocol for the Strait of Hormuz (with some versions mentioning fees or arrangements involving Oman).
• Ending hostilities against Iran’s regional allies/“Axis of Resistance” (including in Lebanon).
• Full or broad U.S./Western sanctions relief (primary and secondary).
• Termination of relevant UN Security Council and IAEA resolutions.
• Release of frozen Iranian assets.
• Compensation or reconstruction funding for war damage.
• Related security and non-interference provisions.

Iran is holding firm to its demands. I remain skeptical that Donald Trump will agree to these terms. In fact, Trump reportedly has decided to launch a new campaign of bombing and missile strikes, despite warnings from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that US missile inventories are running dangerously low. Folks at CENTCOM who thought they would have a long weekend reportedly have been called back to work to finish planning the new round of strikes.

Lots of mixed signals. I cannot rule out the possibility of Trump ordering a new surprise attack in hopes that it will force Iran to capitulate.

As expected, Iran is pressing hard to extract from Washington everything it can get – at a moment the Trump White House seems to be backing down from a heighted war over the Strait of Hormuz, given the serious risk of settling into a another years-long quagmire in the Middle East.

The US administration, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has appeared to back the Iran-Oman deal for the opening of the Strait, with President Trump and his officials having remained surprisingly quiet even as it has emerged that the deal outline is wholly favorable to Tehran’s conditions.

What distinguishes the people who navigate Fourth Turnings successfully is not superior prediction — the future is genuinely unknowable in its specifics — but superior optionality. They hold assets in multiple forms and jurisdictions. They maintain relationships across multiple networks. They retain the cognitive independence to update their models when evidence demands it. And they have not surrendered the most fundamental asset of all: the capacity to act on their own judgement.

Agency is what the propaganda apparatus is designed to extinguish. The entire architecture of manufactured consent — from the captured universities to the curated information feeds to the credit-financed comfort — is designed to produce a population that does not exercise independent judgement because it has been conditioned not to trust its own. The Covid episode was the proof of concept: even people who did not fully believe the narrative could be induced to act as though they did.

The restoration of agency is therefore not merely a personal project; it is the foundational political act of the current historical moment. And the regulatory arbitrage it enables — moving capital, business, and oneself to jurisdictions where the apparatus has not yet fully captured the population’s trust — is not tax evasion or political cynicism.

It is the restatement, in the language of economic action, of the oldest principle of political economy: that free people, in control of their own affairs, are more productive, more innovative, and ultimately more ungovernable than any administrative apparatus can tolerate.

History will record, as it always does, that the real crisis was not the one that triggered the Fourth Turning but the one that preceded it: the slow, comfortable, credit-financed surrender of agency that made populations incapable of resisting when resistance mattered most.

Gold smells trouble and it is the collapse of the US dollar. Congress and Trump have been trapped by greed, incompetence and Israel. You can’t eat gold but you can’t eat fiat currency either.

Here’s an up-to-date analysis by Alastair Crooke on the situation in the Middle East. For those interested in the conflict with Iran it is well worth the little over an hours investment of time.

Roth Note: Trump has stirred up a true hornets nest in the Middle East. His actions have led to practically every country in the region being at war with or on the edge of war with others there. Shia, Sunni, Kurd, Jew, Christian – Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Gulf States, Pakistan, different ones allied with others mixed up like from a blender. Ukraine is even trying to get into the game. Congratulations Trump; king of the Clusterf$%#.
