This is the lead in to the joke about someone wanting a baby in a month so they got 9 women pregnant at the same time.
 
It will take the US 10 years or more to counter the China rare earth position no matter how many countries they talk into a block today…good luck with that….grin

It’s about the circle of mostly Western elites
Posted by: ChatNPC | Feb 5 2026 0:06 utc | 106

 
Perversion is everywhere and not confined within the elites. There is not a social pattern for sexual deviances such as incest, pedophilia or for the complete desacralisation of human life. They’re equally present in the different strata of the population. Remember the Dutroux case in Belgium. And the promotion and the manufacture of consent around an ongoing genocide is another manifestation of this perversion.
 
And I don’t believe it’s limited to the Western sphere either.
 
What the Epstein files show is how money and power can wipe the moral framework to produce such a feeling of impunity. Pasolini showed that it is the most rotten fruit of fascism.

There is no reason to chose this specific level of dilution.
 
Posted by: Sebgo | Feb 5 2026 0:39 utc | 117

 
Enrichment at 3.6% is the lowest you can go to have any sort of working light water reactor, and hence run a nuclear power industry. Any lower than that and it would be fairly close to useless.
 
There are also heavy water reactors but making heavy water is also a dual use technology for a number of reasons, such as the production of Lithium Deuteride.
 
So, essentially Iran is saying they don’t want nuclear weapons but they won’t entirely give up their nuclear power plants and I guess they figure the oil won’t last forever.

Maybe it has a lot to do with Japan’s bond market implosion spreading across the west like a wild fire. Australian bonds have also been falling (yields going up), German/EU bonds have been falling, albeit slower, but the contagion should spread soon. US bonds will be falling but with $9 trillion refinancing this year they need 10 year yield at least at 3%.
 
So there’s a lot of liquidation and selling off everything to finance bonds, governments are creating ‘events’ to cause sell off. But large-scale printing will most likely resume before mid-year. Falling bonds will also have an effect on the housing market, decreasing housing demand further, halt construction activity and with AI destroying jobs the debt-based economy slides into larger crisis. So moar printing.

I don’t have the specifications of Iran’s reactors, but we know that recent reactors use fuel enriched beyond 4-5%. And even more for the up-to-date smaller ones.
 
They also have to take into account the fact that the level of enrichment decline with time when stored.
 
Furthermore, Iran has always clearly stated its desire to control the entire nuclear chain in order to guarantee its independence should the need arise, including for medical and other uses.
 
After the Twelve Day War and the assassinations of experts, Iranian leaders declared that they had paid a heavy price in blood for the right to enrich uranium within the limits of the NPT and had no intention of relinquishing it. 
I think that’s quite clear.
 
It’s this kind of extreme expectation from one party that derails any negotiations before they even begin.
 
And yes, they don’t want to rely on oil 100% for their energy needs. They are also on line to import gas from Russia and to add more nuclear power plants.
 
But we all know all this is not about enriched uranium or nuclear weapons, don’t we ?

My best guess as to the short term purpose is that the USA wants to prevent or obstruct oil getting to China … and perhaps test the strength of their alliances as well.
 
Every regime must be tempted to reach for the nuclear option and as technology improves, quite likely more of such options might become available. Maintenance of an unstable equilibrium is hard work but not impossible … most biological life depends on such things. The JCPoA did put Iran in a position where nuclear weapons were practically impossible to achieve and they would have been happy to stay there.
 
The other theory is the three step plan: (1) create chaos; (2) do something else; (3) profit.

This what they already have agreed to back in the Obama administration … the 3.6% number just takes them full circle.

 
That’s precisely the problem, in my opinion.
 
Iran has no intention of returning to the constraints of the previous agreement after all these losses in human lives and equipment, as if nothing had happened.
 
The old agreement is no longer. They are demanding fewer constraints and a lifting of sanctions.
 
They are now demanding at least 20% enrichment. This was clearly stated by an Iranian official, Ali Shamkani, advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei.

Destroying or taking control of Iran is a project with countless potential benefits for the US and Israel.
 

• Seizing control of its oil.
• Removing Israel’s only obstacle to its regional hegemony.
• Paving the way for a Greater Israel.
• Preparing for an embargo on China by cutting it off from a supplier.
• Weakening the BRICS and the SCO.
• Blocking Russia’s North-South Corridor project.
• Removing a sovereign adversary that can defend itself.

Epstein operated at a higher level than Mossad. While western “intelligence agencies” serve the global capitalist elites, that relationship isn’t necessarily a personal one. With Epstein the relationship was/is personal. True, there are a number of individuals who circulate in the “intelligence community” at Epstein’s level and one might consider them agents or unofficial operatives, but generally they are the ones who can stroll around Langley or Hakirya without an ID badge. They can barge into the director’s office and the director will be like “Oh, Jeffery! What a pleasant surprise! What can I do for you?”
 
 
So saying Epstein is/was a Mossad tool doesn’t accurately capture the relationship. Despite his wealth, Epstein clearly wasn’t a member of the global oligarchy, but he certainly was on a first name basis with them and was relied upon to get various things done for them.

And now, in unison, we have two refrains coming from everywhere:

Both essentially come back to the same thing: you all must think and say “not Mossad”.
 
It’s practically an admission, in my humble opinion.

Believe it or not, Gaddafi’s death was felt as a catastrophe, a betrayal, and a humiliation in my country.
 
A catastrophe because, despite his frescoes, he was a benefactor to the country and its people.
He left behind numerous projects that are still in operation.
 
A betrayal because the people feel that the African countries he helped did practically nothing to help him, even though Western objectives were obvious.
 
A humiliation, finally, because his assassination demonstrated, if any proof were needed, our inability to act even when our interests were threatened.
 
And above all, you must know that the problem of terrorism in the Sahel is directly linked to the disappearance of the Libyan leader.
Gaddafi was the one who kept this entire world of international jihadism under control.
 
He supported them, paid them, and employed them in various tasks simply to shield them from Western machinations in the region.
 
The first waves of jihadists that invaded Mali came directly from Libya, where the chaos following Gaddafi’s death allowed them to seize all the weapons they wanted.They simply crossed Algeria to come directly to Mali, since they were already at the Niger border.
 
So we are still paying for Gaddafi’s death today.

FIrstly, there is nowhere near enough air power in the region to ‘take control’ of iran, let alone all the resources required to occupy the country.
Secdondly, an attack of any significance on Iran will unite the people behind ‘Iran’ and IRGC irrespective of whether Khamenei/Rouhani etc are in power, which will result in an incredibly bloody and prolonged war.
Thirdly, Iran does not exist in a bubble. The entire region will be thrown into chaos and many stronger nations will immediately move to benefit from the chaos probably posing an existential threat to Israel, especially and will result in the permanent removal of the US from the Middle East, believe me!
Fourthly, if you think that China is just going to sit by and watch is oil supply (90%) disrupted for any prolonged period, let alone possibly transfered into US hands, then you massively underestimate Iran’s importance to China.
There are no doubt many other reasons that others can mention to render any such ‘take over’ as ridiculous, but these are just off the top of my head.

Re. Iran’s insistence on moving the meeting to Oman, Azerbaijani and Turkish news are all shouting that it is a critically strategic mistake on the part of Iran! ))) 
Of course they can’t stomach the humiliation served to Erdogan and Al Qaeda Fidan who have spent a lot of time trying to develop a ‘framework’ for negotiations which cripples Iran and allows Turkey to catch up with ballistics and drones, and possibly allows the forced acceptance of the energy corridor from the Caspian across Turkey etc …
 
But one interview was interesting in that the former Azerbaini ambassador to Iran stated that the Iranians were planning to propose energy cooperation with the US. He concluded that this shows both a) that the Iranians are willing to find a negotiated settlement and b) that they understand Trump whose approach to all problems is economic. I dare say there are also many other aspects that can be put on the table by Iran, without having to disarm and prostrate itself before Trump no matter how Turkey would enjoy that!
 
Another interesting point is Saudi Arabia’s rumoured discussions with Pakistan to reach some kind of nulear cover arrangement to afford KSA more security. Apparently Erdogan also wants in on this, though it seems unworkable while in NATO.

The individual Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was little known, and the current pace of global and local news is too high in both volume and frequency.

That train left the station when IRGC treated their fellow Iranians (who are done with the Mullah regime) as enemy combatants. This “forum” of propganda has been silent on the truly evil level of killing (and the manner of the killings) of thousands of Iranians. 
IRGC is now known as an Islamist organization occupying Iran. There is no going back.

JUNKERMAN! Mossad – Epstein- in Whitehall series.
 
Flashback ~~~~~~~
 
 
‘According to one report, PHE exists to “protect and improve the nation’s health and wellbeing, and reduce health inequalities”. PHE is an “operationally autonomous executive agency, sponsored by the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC)”. In June 2018, PHE transferred its drug development to a new state-owned company,Porton Biopharma Ltd (PBL), which is wholly owned by Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for Health (currently Matt Hancock).’
 
But then why isn’t the HAB also?’The Healthtech Advisory Board is described as a collection of clinicians, academics, and IT experts. The official government website says “the board will look at how the NHS can harness the potential of technology and create a culture of innovation, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and reducing the workload on NHS staff.” It fails to mention why it requires an Israeli intelligence linked venture capitalist who has been involved in multiple scandals. Their first official meeting took place on 19th November 2018—see Appendix I for the other members of the Healthtech Advisory Board.
The two members which are of note relating to this story are Nicole Junkermann and Parker Moss, the latter happening to be the Chief Business Officer at OWKIN, which is one of the many companies in Junkermann’s vast portfolio. OWKIN is an AI startup that uses machine learning to augment medical and biology research. On its own, the company would probably be a perfect fit for the future of the NHS, but because of its connection to Nicole Junkermann and Israeli intelligence, OWKIN should be seen as too much of a risk to the data protection for NHS users.’
More on that the, with added Epstein and Blatter history of the super investor Junkerman ‘appointed’ by Hancock to the HAB, in this excellent and ignored piece.

I grew up in Northwest Louisiana. Not a lot of great music from here. The hip hop scene was actually dismantled by the police (I think Mandigo, one of the 90s rappers from Shreveport aka Ratchet City, is actually still in Angola). In the 2000s though we gave the world Hurricane Chris, who is now in a one-sided feud with 50 Cent, because 50 is buying up a lot of real estate here, bringing in G Unit, all that fun stuff.
 
On Saif Gaddafi: I had been “tracking” his activities for a while, since his re-emergence about a decade ago. I was hopeful that he would be able to run in the next Libyan presidential elections (postponed indefinitely after it became clear he could win them), but that opportunity is now closed. Saif seemed to be a real believer in the ideological and political project of his father, which was a decentralized and grassroots democracy, alien enough to the centralized, bourgeois-controlled, “liberal democracies” of the west. I’m bummed about his assassination.

It is probably hopeless to point out that the most pressing questions re Epstein are

• who were the unindicted co-conspirators back in the original conviction of Epstein
• who besides Acosta signed off on that rather favorable deal for Epstein
• who told Acosta Epstein was intelligence, if he didn’t just make it up

• what was Epstein to Wexner (and vice versa)
• how did Epstein make his money otherwise, laundering or tax evasion or anything legitimate at all
• did Epstein run a business in girls or was it just his hobby. Follow the money from the victims, if a business.
• if Epstein was blackmailing people, why wasn’t he murdered long before he was arrested
• if Epstein was intelligence, was it US—they need money laundering services after all
• if Epstein was foreign intelligence, who was the handler, who presumably kept the kompromat safe
• did Epstein spend so much time schmoozing rich and famous as social camouflage for his hobby or as a client list
• how would the aggressively straight Epstein service any gay friends

 
So far, most of the stuff coming out doesn’t address these questions at all. Mostly it’s just, if you were friends with Epstein you weren’t just a snob who liked to hang with the rich and famous. In particular, the first three questions in the list above, should be and could be prioritized. Not doing so is not taking the business seriously at all, I think, however indignant about humanity one gets.

The debate in UK’s parliament over Mandelson waxes raucous…

Things are undoubtedly bad for the prime minister today. Perhaps as bad as they’ve ever been for him.
 
We’ve had difficult weeks before, but the level of anger right now among Labour MPs is pretty palpable.
 
We heard Rachael Maskell saying the prime minister has got to go, others like John McDonnell said he should consider his position.
 
Privately, lots of Labour MPs are starting to say that they think things are becoming difficult for the prime minister.
 
That’s not to say that they think this is all going to come to a head immediately, but there are difficult moments coming.
 
One of those moments will be when they publish the documents around Mandelson’s vetting process. We already knew when Mandelson was appointed that he’d maintained a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after his first conviction of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
 
But Starmer and other ministers say Mandelson lied about the extent of his relationship with Epstein.
 
The publication of those documents has the potential to cause some more headaches for the government.

For the sake of discussion, we’ll momentarily redefine and reground the term “antisemitism” to convey Jew-hatred on a cultural level (such as predates the term by several centuries, so this usage is blatantly anachronistic). Incidentally — do we know whether the child-selection criteria employed by people like Ghislane Maxwell concertedly excluded Jewish children?
 
Because, you see, that grand old blood-libel/blood-sacrifice “debunking”/history wormhole into generational hatred has reopened before us, in real-time, in the form of FBI investigation documents somehow seeing, against all odds, the light of day. Before last week, I held the zionist entity to be the most effective engine of antisemitism in history. Jeffrey Epstein has, not at all single-handedly, destroyed the future for Jews who would like to be regarded as human beings, Talmud be damned.
 
It’s all about that damned Talmud, according to Israel Shahak. Epstein had the whole Talmud on a shelf right behind his office desk. Epstein was exquisitely Jewish, like it or not.

‘who besides Acosta signed off on that rather favorable deal for Epstein

who told Acosta Epstein was intelligence, if he didn’t just make it up’

According to Nick Bryant and in keeping with the power hierarchy, the only people with the authority to put a hold on any investigation-indictments Acosta may have wanted to pursue would be the US Attorney General – Eric Holder at the time.

The US attorney general is one of the four most powerful cabinet officials in the government, reporting and working directly and intimately with the president.

The president at the time was Barack Obama.

Both Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump again have had ample opportunity to demand justice.

None have.

‘what was Epstein to Wexner (and vice versa)’

Wexner funded Epstein. He’s the top-level financier, Epstein is the mover-shaker, then there are the pols, etc

The mega group – which included Spielberg, the Bronfmans, Tisch, Steinhardt, etc etc etc

https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Mega_Group

They first met in 1991 and last met about six months before the 9/11 false flag event they were intimately involved with.

Ehud Barak was seemingly most involved with this particular cohort but Netanyhahu isn’t too far away.

This was to put into high gear the ‘war on terror’ that Netanyahu got off the ground back in the 1970’s with his Jonathan Institute and the Jerusalem Conference on International Terrorism I and II.

Now. Chris Bollyn towards the end of this short clip talks about his time in occupied Palestine in the 70’s and his ‘Israeli’ girlfriend at the time who told him that Likud coming to power in the 70’s was the end of ‘Israel.’

But it was the labor Zionists who built ‘Israel’ every bit as much so please don’t be fooled by the Likud nonsense. Yes, they are ruthless, but it was and continues to be a ‘bipartisan’ affair with ‘Israel’ – the alleged non hardliners are all on board with the Zionist plan and always have been.

Posted by: Dan Kelly | Feb 5 2026 18:12 utc | 289  Dan Kelly tells us that the Attorney General was Eric Holder and the President was Barack Obama in June 30, 2008, before that year’s election, which is when Obama first won. The plea deal was worked out months before. Jeffrey Epstein: Timeline that led to sex-trafficking charges : NPR The true president then was the younger Bush. The Attorney General through 2007, 2008 were Alberto Gonzales, Paul Clement acting and Michael Mukasey. People like this are why Congress wants to question the Clintons instead of Lex Wexner, who I believe isn’t dead yet. And thus is theoretically available for questioning. 
 
I believe Epstein was indeed a criminal and covering it up is terrible but much of the stuff written is a waste of electrons.

For me, the questions surrounding the Epstein kerfuffle continue to be:
 

1. Where are the arrests? The DOJ has intelligent autists that have sleuthed over these things for years. I would expect a slew of arrests before any type of file dump to placate the masses.
2. How does the Epstein-saga benefit TPTB as an ongoing distraction operation?
3. Is this a desensitization operation geared to engender further cultural apathy and dislocation?

Smuggling in that area is pretty common and usually involves Iranians as well as foreign nationals. If I remember rightly they even found an illegal pipeline off Qashem just a couple of years ago. There is also a lot of smuggling across land borders. 
The timing and scale of this incident is interesting, however, because the US has complained before about smuggling and ilicit trade.

The French in Africa? The basic facts are these: the CFA franc is still in place despite years of “reform” talk; its euro peg and stabilizing role haven’t disappeared. The largest French-speaking cities in the world are now in Africa (Kinshasa foremost), meaning the demographic and cultural future of French is African rather than European. France has lost much of its political and military dominance in parts of Africa, but it remains economically entangled, especially through raw materials and energy (notably uranium, oil, and gas) and major firms like TotalEnergies. What’s finished is not French presence as such, but the old Françafrique model of unquestioned control.

No, Bitcoin is not a fiat currency; it is a type of cryptocurrency that is not issued or backed by any government. Unlike fiat currencies, which are recognized as legal tender and have value due to government regulation, Bitcoin’s value comes from supply and demand in the market.

 I didn’t think it was another fiat currency.
