The Stank of Doom

It seems pretty likely that the shitty "western" financial system is going to read *tilt* again in the next few days/months. The financial journalist drama terms like "crash" don't really represent what happens when the perpetually insolvent debt system goes into a panic. Actually, I don't think there's any really good way to explain it--one day everyone is numb to the fact that all the broke ass debt swamped companies and institutions can't ever be solvent, then the next day some of them go bankrupt which causes people to freak out.

One of my friends thinks the system is limited by resources, namely oil, and we're running out of oil that has a positive ROEI, and the system's controllers know that so conflict between nations is inevitable. We're seeing that play out in the conflict between Iran and Saudi. It looks like the Saudis can't even win the proxy war in Yemen, which is right next door, even with the backing of the US and other western nations.

Another more intractable, more messy conflict is between China and the US over "trade". Supposedly China is a "rival" but US corporations prop it up and want access to its markets, which depend almost entirely on selling stuff to western countries. China is supposedly a rival for energy... to fuel its economy that western countries depend on.

US politicians like the Clintons and many globalist republicans sold out the nation (really the families who live in the United States) several decades ago and shipped manufacturing overseas to please corporate/banker world. The US restructured its economy to depend on goods made abroad, really for no reason. It restructured its culture to breed corporate wage slaves. It's really shameful. China sold out its population trashed its water and land for the same people. Its culture had already been all but annihilated by filthy communism which is really just another version of corporatism. (It's really that corporate/accountant consciousness that's the problem with both systems)

It's hard to imagine the consequences of a war on Iran by the "west". The prospect of such a war is extremely unpopular. Sure there is a portion of the population in the US that would support such a war--the boomer GOP partisans and the neocon jews, for example, would. However, those might be the only two groups. Other groups will be very hostile. The federal government will lose whatever tiny shred of credibility it has with them. The system will also.

Iraq and Afghanistan are an open ended occupation to serve corporate interests; neither of those wars was "won" or is winnable. A war in Iran would be devastating to the Iranian people. It would also destroy the US military, and the US would actually lose. The other super powers wouldn't get involved directly, but would supply Iran and aim to "bankrupt" the US economy and wreck US military assets. The super expensive high tech gee whiz war that the Saudis are waging in Yemen shows how it would play out. The US would expend a mountain of resources on blowing shit up. In the process several aircraft will be shot down and ships would be lost, then the financial system would run amok.

For months, I've been skeptical that a war on Iran will take place. However, it looks like the inbred psychopaths in DC and NYC are preparing the war propaganda machine, maybe to perpetrate a false flag. Fox News, for example, seems to have fired anti-war Tucker Carlson, even though he's their #1 host, and might replace him with some violent ewok neocon, which makes me think they're going to shift into full-on war propaganda mode to whip up the retarded boomers who still watch that shit, and who would still believe a false flag.

Everyone else will be wary and skeptical of any bullshit the neocons try to sell. I won't be surprised if some of the media neocons face retribution. Anyway, I think things are primed to go haywire in the United States.
