A New Moon that has not occurred in any of our
lifetimes.
A Chiron conjunction that turns your deepest wound into your
most powerful beginning.
And a Galactic Federation transmission that
will permanently change how you understand why everything you’ve been
through had to happen exactly the way it did.
This isn’t another New
Moon video.
This is the transmission your soul has been waiting for.
The
Galactic Federation calls it: The Portal of Irreversible Becoming.
Once
you walk through it — there is no going back.
And if you miss it — the
next window is not in this lifetime.
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim,
nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in
private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and
the economy of the world as a whole.” —Prof. Caroll Quigley, Georgetown University, Tragedy and Hope (1966)
In
February 2026, the United States and Israel launched surprise
airstrikes on Iran. The officially proffered reasons — preventing Iran’s
acquisition of a nuclear weapon and forestalling its aggression — have
not held up under scrutiny. As James Corbett documented in
recent Corbett Report episodes, the nuclear pretext appears to be
recycled propaganda, and the scale and timing of the strikes raise
deeper questions about motive.
The thesis that “All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars” was popularized by Michael Rivero in a 2013 documentary by that name. His accompanying article begins with a quote from Aristotle (384-322 BCE):
The
most hated sort [of moneymaking], and with the greatest reason, is
usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural
use of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to
increase at interest.
Rivero then traces how
private banking interests have financed and profited from conflicts on
both sides for centuries — from the founding of the Bank of England in
1694 to fund William III’s wars to modern regime-change wars.
Other commentators point to the report of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) titled “Rebuilding America’s Defenses”
(September 2000), which called for “full-spectrum” U.S. military forces
to achieve global preeminence. It postulated the need for a
“catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor” to
accelerate the military transformation the authors envisioned.
This was followed by a 2007 Democracy Now interview in which Gen. Wesley Clark revealed that
weeks after 9/11, he had been shown a classified Pentagon memo
outlining plans to “take out seven countries in five years”: Iraq,
Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off with Iran. The
first six have since been destabilized or regime-changed. Iran,
considered the ultimate prize for Middle East dominance and oil control,
remains the last one standing.
Why those seven, and why was Iran the ultimate prize? Greg Palast’s 2013 article titled “Larry Summers and the Secret ‘End-Game’ Memo”
supplied the missing financial logic. In 1999, the world was opened to
unregulated derivatives trading, so that sovereign bonds, oil flows,
shipping routes, and war-risk policies could all be collateralized,
rehypothecated (pledged multiple times over), and gambled upon. The
lynchpin was the 1997 WTO Financial Services Agreement (the Fifth
Protocol to GATS), which became operational in 1999.
None of the seven targeted countries joined the WTO, and they were also not members of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
That left them outside the long regulatory arm of the central bankers’
central bank in Switzerland. Other countries that were later identified
as “rogue states” were also not members of the BIS, including North Korea, Cuba, and Afghanistan.
As
for Iran, it is not only the largest and strongest of the Islamic
countries but operates the world’s only fully interest-free (riba-free)
banking regime. This stands in direct contrast to the conventional
Western model, which relies on interest as its primary revenue
mechanism. “Money making money out of itself” underpins the global
derivatives complex, which is built on rehypothecated, collateralized
debt-at-interest.
The last piece in the financial control grid was detailed in David Rogers Webb’s 2024 book The Great Taking.
The Everything Bubble, including what some commentators estimate to be
more than a quadrillion dollars in derivative bets, is just waiting for a
pin. When it bursts, it will trigger large institutional bankruptcies;
and under the legal machinery Webb documents, the derivative players
will take all.
The 2026 Hormuz insurance crisis triggered by Lloyd’s of London could be that pin. More on all that below.
For
more than three centuries, the City of London – the “Square Mile” that
is London’s financial center — has financed both sides of wars and sold
insurance against the destruction that would follow. Lloyd’s of London
is the insurance pillar of the City’s financial control grid. It is not actually an insurance company but
is a corporate body that “operates as a partially-mutualized
marketplace within which multiple financial backers, grouped in
syndicates, come together to pool and spread risk.”
Lloyd’s has
built its reputation on always performing, but it performs at a cost. In
1898, it formalized long-standing practice by introducing the “Free of
Capture and Seizure” clause, stripping war risks from standard policies
so it could charge extortionate premiums when conflict erupted. It
exercised that clause in both world wars and is exercising it in 2026.
After
the strikes on Iran, Lloyd’s Joint War Committee expanded its
“high-risk” zone in the Middle East. Several of its underwriters issued
72-hour cancellation notices effective March 5, and war-risk premiums for Hormuz transits jumped from
0.25% to 1–5% of hull value. Lloyd’s has stressed that coverage remains
available — at the right price. But for a $100 million oil tanker, that
means an extra $1–5 million per voyage, a premium the owners are
understandably reluctant to pay.
Meanwhile, other dark clouds are hovering over the market. Financial analyst Stephanie Pomboy warns that
the $1.5-3 trillion private credit market is in lockdown, forcing fire
sales of liquid assets; and the much larger $5 trillion BBB-rated
corporate bond market is teetering. Downgrades will force mass selling,
and pensions face a $4 trillion shortfall.
The Hormuz crisis
supplies the perfect accelerant to this collateral crisis: higher oil
prices create inflation, which raises bond yields (interest), collapsing
the value of collateral and triggering margin calls across the
derivatives game board. Margin calls then force private credit funds
into fire sales.
This is one reason some commentators point to the City of London as
the real architect of the Middle East chaos. The old war-insurance
machine and the new derivatives machine operate together. One creates
the chaos premium; the other harvests it through rehypothecation and
legal seizure.
Guaranteeing against shipping loss is one type of
insurance, but a much bigger insurance trap is the derivatives market.
Sold as a form of insurance against market risk, derivatives are a
speculative betting game that extracts rents from all major economic
flows.
In his 2013 article, Greg Palast presented evidence of a secret 1997 memo to Deputy Treasury Secretary Larry Summers from Timothy Geithner (then
U.S. Ambassador to the WTO acting for Summers) describing the
“End-Game” of the WTO Financial Services negotiations. Geithner wrote to
Summers,
“As we enter the end-game… I believe it would be a good idea for you to touch base with the CEOs ….”
The
memo then listed the private phone numbers of Goldman Sachs, Merrill
Lynch, Bank of America, Citibank, and Chase Manhattan, numbers which
Palast confirmed were real.
What was the end-game? Palast wrote:
US
Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin was pushing hard to de-regulate banks.
That required, first, repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act to dismantle the
barrier between commercial banks and investment banks. It was like
replacing bank vaults with roulette wheels.
Second,
the banks wanted the right to play a new high-risk game: “derivatives
trading.” … Deputy Treasury Secretary Summers (soon to replace Rubin as
Secretary) body-blocked any attempt to control derivatives.
But what was the use of turning U.S. banks into derivatives casinos if money would flee to nations with safer banking laws?
The answer conceived by the Big Bank Five: eliminate controls on banks in every nation on the planet – in one single move.… The
bankers’ and Summers’ game was to use the Financial Services Agreement,
an abstruse and benign addendum to the international trade agreements
policed by the World Trade Organization.
… The new
rules of the game would force every nation to open their markets to
Citibank, JP Morgan and their derivatives “products.”
And
all 156 nations in the WTO would have to smash down their own
Glass-Steagall divisions between commercial savings banks and the
investment banks that gamble with derivatives.
The
WTO Financial Services Agreement became the battering ram for opening
global markets to this derivative play. Every member nation was forced
to open its banking system or face sanctions. In 1999, the portion of
Glass-Steagall separating investment banking from depository banking in
the U.S. was repealed, leaving depositors’ money vulnerable to
speculative risk. Derivatives then exploded. Sovereign bonds, oil
contracts, shipping insurance policies, and war-risk premiums were all
sliced into credit-default swaps, hedges, and other derivative products.
Derivatives
trading has since become one of the most concentrated and profitable
businesses on the planet, and it is almost entirely controlled by a
handful of megabanks. According to data from
the Bank for International Settlements and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, the top five U.S. banks alone hold roughly
90% of all U.S. bank derivatives, with JPMorgan, Citigroup, Goldman
Sachs, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley dominating the global
over-the-counter market. These institutions capture the lion’s share of
derivative profits, especially during periods of volatility when the
“chaos premium” spikes.
In The Great Taking, David Rogers
Webb lays bare the final piece in this financial control grid:
virtually every security today is dematerialized (digitized) and pooled
in central depositories. Quiet changes to the Uniform Commercial Code
and equivalent E.U. rules have turned ordinary investors into mere
“entitlement holders” holding only a legal claim against their
brokerages.
As for bank depositors, they have for centuries been
categorized as mere “creditors” of their banks. Once the money is
deposited, legal title passes to the bank. The depositor holds only a contractual claim (a demand liability) that ranks as an unsecured creditor position in the event of insolvency.
In
any insolvency, stocks, bonds, and deposits are legally collateral for
the derivatives complex — collateral that has been rehypothecated
multiple times over. And when the derivative collateral fails, the
rehypothecated house of cards that has been built on it collapses.
Margin calls cascade, super-priority is triggered, and the Great Taking
begins. (For more on this quite complicated subject, see Webb’s book and
my earlier article here.)
So
what did it matter if Iran and a handful of other countries declined to
join in this lucrative bankers’ game? The risk was that when depositors
and shareholders realized that they did not actually own their funds,
they would move their assets to those safe zones. The holdout countries
were also safe from the sort of sanctions imposed by Western governments
(and enforced by Western banks and clearing houses) on Russian central
bank assets after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Leading this band of holdouts was Iran, which since its 1983 Law for Usury-Free Banking Operations has run the world’s only fully interest-free (riba-free) banking regime. Its banks use Sharia-compliant contracts — profit-sharing (musharakah), cost-plus financing (murabaha), and leasing (ijara)
— instead of charging or paying interest. This banking model stands in
direct contrast to the conventional Western model, which relies on
interest as its primary revenue stream and underpins the global
derivatives complex with collateralized, rehypothecated debt.
Iran’s
system was designed to eliminate usury and align finance with real
economic activity and risk-sharing rather than speculative debt. It has
long been viewed as structurally incompatible with the interest-based,
collateral-heavy architecture of City of London and Wall Street finance —
an architecture that requires perpetual debt servicing and easily
rehypothecated assets to feed the derivatives machine.
By
rejecting interest at the national level, Iran has thus insulated itself
and its financial partners from the control grid that has made the
global “Great Taking” possible.
The Strait of Hormuz is not fully closed, but traffic remains severely reduced under
Iran’s selective, permission-based transit regime. Only vessels from
“friendly” or non-hostile nations are being cleared after prior
coordination with Iranian authorities. Significant backlogs persist,
with more than 1,000 vessels reported waiting or diverted and over
34,000 shipping routes rerouted in the first four weeks of disruption.
President Trump’s $20 billion reinsurance facility announced on March 6 is now operational and has been doubled to $40 billion.
Additional major U.S. insurers have joined, while Lloyd’s of London has
engaged in related discussions. The facility remains centered on
American carriers with U.S. government backing. But analysts doubt it
will restart widespread commercial traffic without broader liability
protection and safer conditions.
In short, the “insurance chaos”
trigger has eased but has not vanished. Premiums remain elevated,
uncertainty lingers, and the collateral and derivatives pressures Webb
described are still in play.
The 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis
(GFC) is now widely regarded as having been triggered by the unchecked
explosion of unregulated derivatives — especially credit default swaps
and collateralized debt obligations — which turned subprime mortgages
into a systemic time bomb. The damage was not confined to the United States: developing countries suffered heavily as well.
Today the risk of a crash is even greater than during the GFC. The global OTC derivatives market has officially ballooned to a notional value of $846 trillion, more than seven times the size of the entire world economy.
Long-range
political solutions are possible. Congress could restore Glass-Steagall
and impose a financial transaction tax. State governments could
withdraw their approval of relevant portions of the UCC and form public
banks that can protect against local bank bankruptcies. (See my earlier
articles here and here.)
But
the immediate need in the current context is to settle the conflict
with Iran, and settle it fast, before another black-swan shock ignites
the derivatives daisy chain and activates the final Great Taking on a
global scale.
Americans could soon learn more about what many have long suspected regarding unidentified flying objects.
UFO whistleblower Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official, said “We’ve been saying for the last eight years … that there have been dozens upon dozens of these near-air collisions that have occurred with military and civilian and commercial pilots.
This is not just happening with military aircraft.” The whistleblower believes the Trump administration’s actions are due to the existence of UFOs being the “worst-kept secret in American history.

QUESTION: Do you think Trump will send in troops and what will be the result?Will Iran defeat the United States?
ZT
ANSWER: You’re asking the question that NOBODY in Washington wants to confront. Will the United States be defeated by Iran?
Based on my cyclical analysis, historical precedent, and current
trajectory, let me give you the answer that will make the neocons
furious:
YES. The United States will be defeated in Iran—not necessarily not just on the battlefield, but STRATEGICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, and POLITICALLY.
Sending in troops that end up with thousands in returning home in
body-bags will show the entire world that Iran can defeat the mighty
USA. That will send a smoke signal to Russia and China that the US
cannot possible deend both Europe and Taiwan while also tied up
defending Netanyahu.
Sending in troops will be a suicide mission. This is not going to be D-Day.
We do not have the troops to conquer Iran, and Netanyahu does not care
how many Americans will die for his personal vendetta. Iran has a major
army, and this is NOT going to be a cakewalk. The
advice being given to Trump is such a bald-faced lie that it is putting
the entire world at risk, all for the defense of the sadistic character
of Netanyahu. Sending in troops will be a suicide mission. We do NOT
have the personnel to wage this war, and my sources are screaming that
even the Marines are not renewing all because this is NOT a war that is
in the American interest, but is a religious war for Netanyahu.
The military strength of Iran is far superior and Trump may claim we
have already won by taking out their Navy and bombing their above ground
operations, but Iran has dozens of deep underground facilities that
nothing should of a nuke would possible reach. Aside from that, I would
be very concerned that Iran is now pushing for a nuclear weapon ASAP and
they have the missile capability. Once they announce that they now have
the nukes, this changes everything.
Israel is effectively out of defense. Trump is now taking resources
from Ukraine and sending them to Israel, which will not change the
outcome. Iran has strategically planned for the end game and has the
largest stockpile of ballistic missiles perhaps in the world, but
certainly in the region.
Now even Saudi Arabia is demanding the US wipe out Iran for now Epic Fury has risen the Epic Persian Lion. They have seriously underestimated Iran and Trump did not listen to American intelligence and took Netanyahu’s word instead.
I warned that the war cycle turned up in 2014 and that would begin in Ukraine. But I also warned that WWIII will NOT
be a single front, but we are looking at wars around the globe. The
computer is showing this is going to extend into 2028 and that it should
have turn higher exponentially here in 2026.
The half-cycle turning point was here in 2026. At the last WEC I also
warned that 2026 would be a Panic Cycle Year when it came to war,
markets, and the economy. It pains me deeply to see how the Neocons have
infiltrated the Trump Administration and that this insane arrogance
will lead to the defeat of the United States for the stated goals of
regime change, causing a revolution, destroying their ballistic misiles,
and ending their nuclear program have all failed.
At this point, if I
were Iran, I would be working night and day to finish that nuke for that
is the only way at this point to discredit Netanyahu. This was a stupid
move sold to Trump that just killing the Ayatolla would bring down the
government which was totally fictional. Now Trump risks the entire
stability of the world as a whole all for Netanyahu. Instead of securing
the future for Israel, Netanyahu may undermine its future as it can no
longer defend agains Iranian missiles and Russia is now sending drones
to Iran.
Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were involved in black op
government experiments involving “disposable” orphan children and
aliens, according to bombshell footage recorded by John McAfee before he
was found dead.
In the final years of his life, McAfee was running a high-stakes
spying operation using viral spyware and drone surveillance. What he
uncovered — straight from the heart of the US government — was
staggering.
Alien-human hybrid breeding programs… using black orphans trafficked
from American cities. Sickening experiments that would make Dr. Josef
Mengele himself blush in horror. And evidence that suggests the Book of
Enoch… wasn’t just ancient mythology.
And at the center of it all… the man McAfee called the “world’s most deranged psychopath”, Bill Gates.
John McAfee uncovered solid evidence that government agencies were
running criminal enterprises — deeply entangled with Jeffrey Epstein —
and involved in breeding alien-human hybrids for purposes that are as
revolting as they are immoral and dystopian.
We’ve known for years the mainstream media knew about Jeffrey Epstein and chose not to report on the VIP pedophile ring.
Now we know the media chose to cover up the existence of alien hybrid
breeding farms, where Gates’ performed grotesque and cruel experiments,
and did things to children that even Wes Craven couldn’t dream up.
The mainstream media is terrified of the truth. They’re the nervous
PR department for the global elite — carefully shielding them from
scrutiny.
But we are not afraid. We’re here to bring you McAfee’s stunning 4K footage, no matter the cost.
They banned us from every platform. They raided our homes. They told you we were crazy.
Now we’re back with
the one story that ties every thread together. John McAfee’s final act
of defiance, salvaged from the ashes, ready to shock the world.
This is the evidence drop the elite have nightmares about.
Today, you will see
the evidence with your own eyes. You’ll hear from insiders who
experienced the horrors — and the bodyguards, and assistants who finally
decided to talk. Their testimonies. Their recordings. Their truth.
The situation we are now facing is mind-boggling and bizarre, but
nonetheless true. Humanity is locked in a war against evil, or more
accurately, anti-life. In ancient times, a group of humans was captured
by an entity that promised them great wealth and power if they agreed to
betray their fellow living beings. These were the Canaanites. They were
the ancient enemies of the Jews, who served the life force.
This may sound biblical and abstract, but it is clearly reflected in
ongoing news events. The war in the Middle East is a case in point.
After the US suffered the greatest military loss in its history when
it attacked Iran, the US military revolted against the obviously fake
“President Donald Trump.” They took him to the Walter Reid Hospital and
got rid of him. Then, the following agreement with Iran was announced by
the US President’s office and the Iranians:
According to the statement issued by Iran’s top security body
on Wednesday, the United States has agreed to a 10-point proposal that
fundamentally commits Washington to:
No new aggression against Iran
Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz
Acceptance of uranium enrichment
Removal of all primary sanctions
Removal of all secondary sanctions
Termination of all anti-Iran UN Security Council resolutions
Termination of all anti-Iran IAEA Board of Governors resolutions
Payment of compensation to Iran
Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region
Cessation of war on all fronts, including against the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon (Hezbollah)
Israel reacted to this peace agreement with the mass murder of civilians in Lebanon in “Operation Eternal Darkness.”
After that, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
described Iran’s 10-point negotiating plan as “fundamentally unserious,
unacceptable and completely discarded,” adding that it had been
“literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating
team.” This was less than 24 hours after President Trump himself called
the same plan “a workable basis on which to negotiate,” according to Fox
News and NBC News.
Then, after disappearing from public view for a few days, a new
“Trump” emerged who sent a delegation to Pakistan to negotiate with
Iran. The delegation was led by Jared Kushner.
Kushner is not an elected US official. He is the guy who bought 666
West 5th Avenue in New York. This is where Lucent (Lucifer) technologies
were developing mark of the beast microchips to implant into human
brains.
Kushner and Vice President JD Vance were not in Pakistan to negotiate
for the US; they were there to negotiate for the satanists.
The talks broke up because Iran refused their demand to give up
nuclear weapons. This was the satanists’ bottom line: “We want to have
the ability to kill you with nuclear weapons which you cannot resist or
retaliate against.”
Instead, the Iranians informed the satanic delegates they now had
1000 nuclear ICBMS capable of unleashing 12,000 nuclear warheads on
Israel and the US. This meant Iran could never be forced into satanic
slavery. The satanists said no and left Pakistan, mouthing empty threats
such as saying they would “blockade the Straits of Hormuz.”
In any case, the events in Pakistan led to an emergency meeting of
all non-US and Israel NATO and Western-aligned states in Japan, as well
as a Bilderberg meeting of European elites.
The meetings concluded that ... ... ...
