Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

I expect that they’re keeping him metaphorically alive ... at least in mind until the elections ... that are soon upon them. Haiku …

I have been watching gold prices for the last few weeks. While the dollar is still worth something - I guess there's a formula somewhere that weights the proper variables. Gold has been rising steadily for a long time, but it is currently in the doldrums. A big move around Gold is possibly being made in the background. The point is that we can probably expect a lot of major shifts and financial plays as a result of this war, not only in gold, but everywhere.

It seems some gurus are expecting gold to triple soon, and there are some financial instruments hoping for high-margin payoffs. This war will be a major factor in all kinds of global events. I'm not sure how much it is here, but it may be worth keeping an eye on.

FWIW, an explanation for the current drop in the price of gold.

I shared an AI analysis of all the articles in the Gold & Geopolitics substack which is a frequently mentioned on Sott.net.

Basically, no commodity exchange will be selling any silver pretty soon. Only china is selling all the silver you want but it cannot be exported out of the country. And even shanghai is running out of silver in a short amount of time. Comex pays a lot of premium to settle it in cash rather than deliver physical silver. With gold at bargain basement prices in the middle of the war that ends it all, ppl in china buy all the gold at sale within one minute, the daily sale is cleaned out by 9:01 am.

So the day they decide to blow up the silver market, is the day it sets off a chain reaction, that sets everything financial on fire. Paper silver vs physical silver ratio is too high, and when there is not even a fraction of silver backing the paper, its all over. Gold will be cleaned out from the exchanges in a day or two. And paper silver and gold will eventually go to zero, and physical metal sky high. Silver is the canary is the coal mine, and it is sang its throat out and its dead, they have propped up the dead exchange by manipulating it. Rather than price discovery in the market, the exchange/elites are setting the price of silver.

Backwardation is a market condition where the spot (current) price of a commodity is higher than its futures prices, resulting in a downward-sloping futures curve. It typically signals immediate supply shortages, high current demand, or high convenience yields.

The silver market has been in a supply deficit for 5+ years, resulting in a total shortage of over 678 million ounces, representing roughly a full year of mine production missing from the system.

It is driven by severe physical shortages, surging industrial demand (solar/EVs), and squeezed inventory, often forcing prices higher as buyers pay premiums for prompt delivery.

FWIW, an explanation for the current drop in the price of gold.

It looks like hedging a bit and not putting all eggs in one basket, while remembering that money is a liquidity source, while gold is a source of wealth.

This war will probably not be like other wars to some degree - it not only affects on the dollar, but also trade, oil, transportation, etc. Predictions based on prior probabilities may be close, but we have what may be unknown variables in the near future.

paper silver and gold will eventually go to zero

Everybody will be upset about that, even the lizzies, (unless it's all part of their diabolical plan).

Edit: added paper.

The plebs will be upset yes, the lizzies would be loving it cause everyone has lost their minds, wouldn't they. The PTB knew it would all collapse eventually, so the war is not a surprise, the reset is not a surprise, it was bound to happen eventually, just the actual freaking date is a mystery. But soon.

I always wondered, why would the billionaires create AI to replace humans. If humans dont get paid, then who would buy their shit? The STS always needed someone to exploit. What the hell did i know, that they planned to starve us all anyways, and they needed soulless workers to do their (AI) sloppy work.

When banks start defaulting left, right and center, and it sets off a chain reaction, that was narrowly avoided in 2008, no one will be able to access their money, cause they dont have it. It used to be fractional reserve banking, but last i checked it was scrapped during covid, and it never came back. So, there are no reserves required legally. The fractional banking system has no fractions kept as reserve, it is a grand sum of zero in reserve right now, as per the law.

So, there are a bunch of crisis all waiting to be the one that kills the financial system. Anyone one of them can light the fuse.

I would say physical assets are the only thing that matters. Precious Metals that you possess that no one can deny you access to. Crypto if you are tech savvy and want to chance the long term investment.

For example, I am in India, They have massive regulations coming up for pretty much everything from 1st april 2026. Taxes on selling paper gold, stringent accounting on crypto assets, digital payment regulations that are straight up nonsense, where paying the banks, stock market brokers etc has no limits but anything else requires authentication, and therefore has technical failure points. Add in energy lockdowns or whatever bullcrap they come up with, and its a veritable nightmare.

Yeah, sounds like Bibi is not going to recover but I think you're right that they're desperately hoping he will. Wishful thinking is awesome--at least picturing Mossad and the equivalent in the US squirm is very satisfying! Does anyone know who runs Bibi? Perhaps a question for the Cs.

They can keep him alive forever - though AI. :D
He will never age, never eat, and remain his psycho-self for eternity. Completely unkillable and untouchable! (and 30 years into the future, some granny will wonder why is this guy still alive and why does he look as if he is becoming younger?...)

I see no more fitting "ruler" for a country that pathologically denies reality and tries to impose its own reality on everyone else! Forget half-measures, just go full on into delusion lalaland! :D

Great analysis regarding Netanyahu's whereabouts. This one doesn't focus on the 'AI videos', rather Israeli Security Council meeting protocol, and what's been different about them since 12 March or so.

@Chu
Dimona:

I can't prove it, but although they look VERY slightly different, the facial expressions are the same, it seems, if you watch for a bit longer. (In the unmasked guy to his left). The woman to his right was also in the picture from Arad (see previous post).

And this has half the video muted. Only those two clips (Arad and Dimona) of him talking... Hmmm...

It appears that the video clip filmed on March 21, 2026, in Dimona is remarkably similar to this image, which also depicts an Iranian attack but one that occurred in June 2025 in Bat Yam. Here is a screenshot and the source information.

So, you'll notice it's the same black shirt Netanyahu is wearing (although I admit he's almost always dressed in black), and it's the same man to his left in the dark blue shirt.

I tried to find a similarity when he's wearing his casual little brown coat. I found nothing except that he was wearing the same coat in the AI-generated video of the little café.

So, I suspect there's some video editing involved, mixing real events with AI. Or maybe not. It's a real maze.

 

[palestine]

I suspect many videos released by Israel have been tampered with, for a long time. Sylvia shows an old 2025 video matching a 2026 one. I would say: what if the 2025 one was a fake already?

I remember the footages of the November 7 attack by the Hamas. At the time, there were claims that some were AI. Watching those left me with a feeling of unease. Looked like a mix of AI and Hollywood. It was very odd.

I expect that they’re keeping him metaphorically alive

Assume he's dead or seriously incapacitated. The Israeli state could use his likeness (via AI) to continue to "lead the country" and make decisions in this disastrous war. If things go really bad, and eventually the whole country is calling for his head, they could announce his untimely demise in an Iranian attack (they could carry one out themselves if necessary), and then all the blame for the war falls on his head and the rest, who have been making the decisions in the meantime, are at least partially exempted and "justice" is seen to have been done. Just a thought.

With hundreds and even thousands of people killed and injured, it seems wrong to find anything funny about this insanity at all - but here it is:

No need for 'habius corpus' in the New Jerusalem.

Here is a good video analysis of the rumors surrounding Netanyahu’s death:

In summary, the author points out that the simplest explanation is the most likely one, and that this is a very well-planned Israeli psychological operation. He then proposes three hypotheses, plus one.
The context in which these hypotheses unfold is one of intense diplomatic and military tension between Washington and Tel Aviv over the designation of legitimate military targets, which led to the cancellation of a visit to Israel by Kushner and Witkov, citing technical reasons—a move that would serve as “irrefutable” proof of BN’s death.
Then there are the deepfake videos of the six fingers and the coffee cup of BB’s avatar, coupled with the maneuver in which Netanyahu’s son was asked to stop posting on Twitter.
All of this was done to get people to feed the algorithm of the hypothesis of BN’s death in a viral way.

1. Hypothesis: Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to leave Israeli territory, likely bound for the United States, hidden behind a media smokescreen that keeps people occupied—both in Israel and elsewhere—with videos showing people counting fingers and debating whether he is really dead or not. It’s a fake jeep, it’s not a fake jeep, and so on. That is called a media smokescreen.

2: Benjamin Netanyahu has been kidnapped by the Mossad, which seeks to put an end to this madness, to this quicksand represented by this military adventurism that has turned against those who unleashed it and who are looking for a way out of the equation, especially in light of the possible withdrawal of the Americans from this “Epic Fury” operation.

3: And this is the one I’m sticking with for now. Benjamin Netanyahu knows he’s been a personal target of the Iranians ever since he assassinated Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and the information veil—or information camouflage—has the sole purpose of complicating the Iranians’ task, since: Is he dead? Is he alive? If he’s alive, is he in Israel? Which complicates the Iranians’ task.

Finally, do you think it is really that easy to cover up Benjamin Netanyahu’s death, given that both Israeli society and the political class are more divided than ever, and that, for the opposition, this will not present
an opportunity to oust the Dingots currently in power in Israel?
Then —another hypothesis: in light of the failure of the first phase of Operation "Epic Fury", Netanyahu, aware that the United States will try to withdraw from this conflict at the first opportunity and that Israel is incapable of taking over, and, naturally, with all of Netanyahu’s enemies sharpening their knives and all the files regarding the corruption of the Netanyahu clan and his family, but also the still-unresolved issues regarding the events of October 7 and the involvement of Netanyahu and the Israeli intelligence services in that matter, as well as a multitude of other incriminating files, will come to light again, and
Netanyahu does not want to end his days in prison; perhaps we will never see him again, and perhaps his death will be declared, as has been done with other people who have simply disappeared but have not died.
