Strait of Hormuz Closure Hinders Global Oil Supply
We should all be expecting the price of oil to continue to rise, as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Global supplies are being hindered, and if the cost-of-living crisis wasn’t bad enough, it looks like it’s about to get much worse.
Sixth Ship Struck: Oil Tops $100 As Tanker Attacks Escalate Hours After Trump’s “We Won”
Shipping turmoil escalates as multiple vessels (at least six) were struck overnight
Will Aliens Trigger the Next Financial Crisis?
As Mark Thornton has detailed in his brilliant book, The Skyscraper Curse, Austrian School economists’ unique theory of the business cycle has given them a distinct advantage in foreseeing oncoming economic crises: from Ludwig von Mises’s 1920s predictions of looming bank failures, to Thornton’s own 2004 warnings of the housing bubble and its consequences. Contemporary Austrians continue to apply this theory when scrutinizing the anxious landscape of today’s economy, looking for early warning signs of where central bank monetary manipulation will manifest itself next.
Military Inquiry Faults U.S. For Iranian School Massacre
A military inquiry has faulted the United States for the destruction and massacre of a girls’ school in Iran during the initial bombings in Minab. Previously, Donald Trump tried to blame the school’s destruction on Iran, claiming Tehran hit the school with a U.S.-made Tomahawk missile.
Australia Sends Troops And Assets To Iran, Helping The U.S. And Israel
Australia is “hitched at the hip” to the United States and is actively assisting in the war efforts. These troops and assets “will be used in such a way to boost capacity for the United States and for Israel to continue to rain down horror on the Iranian people [and] to continue to bomb schools and hospitals in Iran,” said Senator Nick McKim.
FBI Warns California of “Iranian Drone Threat”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned the authorities in California that Iran has planned drone raids. These will be launched from an unidentified vessel off the West Coast, according to an alert reviewed by United States media outlets.
Hegseth Warns “Most Intense Day” Of Operation Epic Fury Imminent
The most significant development in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday was the start of IRGC naval mining operations, which were met with massive U.S. firepower that destroyed 16 mine-laying vessels. As we continue monitoring the maritime chokepoint this morning after IRGC attacks on three commercial vessels, attention is now shifting to the IRGC’s drone production capacity, which appears to have been degraded.
Launching a War on Iran Was No Act of Courage
After Trump ordered this major joint US-Israeli air campaign on Iran a week and a half ago, several politicians, political commentators, and public figures heaped praise on the president for the “remarkable courage” he showed to finally take on the Iranian regime.
Can Artificial Intelligence Cure “Incurable” Diseases?
Artificial intelligence may be able to cure diseases once thought to be incurable. AI is said to be unlocking new treatments and inventing new drugs against Parkinson’s disease, antibiotic-resistant superbugs, and many other rare diseases.
U.S. Warns of Terrorist Attacks In Nigeria
The United States embassy in Nigeria has warned that American facilities and U.S.-affiliated schools in the country could be targets of a potential terrorist attack, the mission reported on Monday. The warning allegedly covers the consulate, the embassy, and all affected schools in the country.
Is Trump Planning To Put Boots On The Ground In Iran?
Some United States lawmakers are concerned that ruler Donald Trump could be ready to put boots on the ground in Iran. That would, obviously, mean that this war is going to expand and cause a lot of pain and destruction before it’s all over.
Largest Supply Disruption Ever Made The Price Of Oil The Most Important Number In The World
What a wild week it has been already. On Sunday night, I watched as the price of oil hit $116 a barrel. It was insane. Financial markets started to panic all over the world because investors know that if the price of oil stays above $100 a barrel for an extended period of time, it will absolutely crush the global economy. Our entire way of life depends upon cheap energy, because virtually every type of human activity in the modern world uses energy.
Why Iran, Not America, Now Controls the Global Energy Economy
I have watched, analyzed, and reported on geopolitical shifts for decades, but what we are witnessing in March 2026 is not just another conflict. It is the final, convulsive act of a dying American empire. On February 28, President Donald Trump, in concert with Israel, launched Operation Epic Fury — a massive air campaign aimed at regime change in Iran [1]. The administration frames this as a decisive, necessary stroke. But from my perspective, this war was lost before the first missile was fired. The outcome guarantees a seismic shift in global power, and it hands the ultimate leverage not to Washington, but to Tehran.
Trump Administration Refuses To Rule Out A Military Draft
As the Iran war intensifies, the United States ruling class, headed by Donald Trump, refuses to rule out a military draft. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said that Trump “keeps his options on the table” when asked about the possibility of conscription.
Christian Nationalism Intensifies: US Troops Told War Is “God’s Plan”
Christian nationalism has been on full display, culminating with the murder of Charlie Kirk last year. Religious freedom groups are now receiving complaints that the Christian Nationalist ruling class has told soldiers that the war with Iran is “all part of God’s divine plan.”
Trump Threatens Iran, Vowing To Hit The Country “Twenty Times Harder”
United States President Donald Trump threatened to hit Iran “twenty times harder” if it continues to stop the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran shut down the shipping lane shortly after the initial joint U.S.-Israel attacks.
The Real Threat Is Artificial Credit, Not Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the most capital-intensive industries in history. Consider: Semiconductor fabrication plants cost tens of billions of dollars. Massive data centers consume extraordinary amounts of electricity, sending power bills soaring. Specialized engineering talent commands premium wages. (Although the median salary for an AI professional is $160K annually, the top 1 percent of AI researchers receive compensation packages exceeding $1 million). Global supply chains must coordinate rare materials, precision manufacturing, and complex infrastructure.
Iran Says “No Room” For Talks As US Seeks To “Partition Country, Take Oil”
Iran’s military and political leadership has reportedly pledged allegiance to Mojtaba Khamenei, who, as we reported, was named Sunday to replace his slain father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader. The relatively young 56-year-old is not some Delcy Rodriguez character, as he’s a military veteran of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war and saw his wife Zahra killed in an Israeli airstrike. He’s said to be the favored IRGC choice and more hardline than his father, Ali Khamenei.
Trump Said Iran Bombed Its Own School During Minab Attack
United States ruler Donald Trump claims that Iran bombed its own school during the U.S. strike on Minab. This claim goes against investigative reports that the U.S. ruling class was likely responsible for leveling the school.
U.S. War Hawk: We Will “Make a TON Of Money” Off The War
United States senator and infamous war hawk Lindsey Graham has said that the ruling class is going to “make a ton of money” off the war it just started with Iran. If the U.S. is successful in toppling the Iranian government, the U.S. will control almost a third of the world’s oil and make record profits.
