Missing The Party,
Israel is in a difficult position going forward, as it needs to make further strategic war gains somewhere in order to maintain internal political coherence, and regional "respect". Future unwavering US support is lately called into question. The logical position for Israel is to draw the US into a broad war against Iran, but even that would result in Iranian missiles devastating much Israeli military equipment and command & control centers.
Israel has publicly stated that it could absorb such strikes. That implies that Israeli political leadership sees Israel in an existential crisis, to invite such devastation.
Israel has extended influence into Syria, but competes there with Turkey. Israel is foot-dragging in Gaza, maintaining the slow-choke genocide and trying to prepare for a new Riviera real estate bonanza. Even Trump's technocratic governance plan with Bibi on the "board" is seemingly "not enough", though.
Israel can't do a lot more in Lebanon. The Lebanese government is too weak to disarm Hezbollah, which is a member of the governement, and more functional in the Israeli border area than is the central government. Egypt is firm in longstanding arrangements, with a strong army, and US support.
What Israel might "best" try would be a false-flag attack to get the US and Iran into direct warfare, though both countries know that well, and have a lot to lose.
Iran has been hurt at every level by decades of economic sanctions and embargoes, and particularly harmed by the US attack on the Iranian currency, followed by color-revolution attacks, which Iran shut down successfully, while identifying many of the Mossad/CIA agents involved.
Iran is long-suffering, stable, large, mountainous, well defended, and has deeply protected missile caches that can continue to strike Israel and US military targets, and Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz, taking out 30% of global oil transport.
The US is looking at midterm elections, with Republicans behind due to Trumpian first year policies and interventions, domestically and abroad. They need a win, not $6/gal. gasoline and American losses of soldiers, sailors, flag ships and prestige. Trump can't afford to look like a loser.
The US could nuke Iran and still not remove the government, and would take heavy and visible losses to do that. The US needs to maintain the military cudgel without losses, and use it for threats, its most efficient and conservative use. The US cannot invade Iran in any scenario. It would be a bloodbath and unsuccessful.
Regional powers do not now want Iran defeated and an unbalanced expansionist Israel. There are enough local stresses, already.
Russia and China want the US and Iran to both take a step back and not engage in further war. Russia, China and Iran will soon be having some joint naval maneuvers, as currently are American forces, showing readiness on both sides. Russia, China and Iran have a 3 way mutual defense treaty signed, details of which are being revealed in installments.
It is reasonable to expect Russia and China to aid Iran in military targeting for its advanced missiles, but not direct combat against the US.
All interests except Israeli are against a major regional war, which would impose major losses upon all parties, without a clear path to anything that would look like "winning". Trump seeks a face saving riskless PR victory, which may not exist. Iran is willing to negotiate if threats are removed, but will not give up missiles or civilian uranium enrichment, important symbols of sovereignty.
Today the news is that the US and Iran will enter negotiations on nuclear weapons, which Iran does not want, and could have had already for years, maybe enrichment, but not missiles. This looks like a new JCPOA agreement that will be a "big victory for Trump".
If Israel does not go to war against Iran, it seems likely that Israel would be in for a long decline in viability, both economically ans in regional military standing.
Israel attacking Iran, as it did last June, would result in Iranian counterstrikes with accurate and hypersonic missiles. Missile defense systems would only take out a fraction of the incoming, and would deplete within 2 weeks. If Israel used nuclear weapons, Iran would hit the Dimona nuclear power plant and Israeli nuclear arms in various places, maybe including submarines. This would weaken Israeli nuclear deterrence, and reveal much about Israeli nuclear capabilities to Russia, China and other regional actors. Israel would become more of a pariah, and would likely shorten its life as a nation.
What will happen this month? I don't know.
John Helmer, THE KREMLIN EDITORIAL FOR IRAN IS SURRENDER OR DIE, WITH A FOOTNOTE FOR TRUMP AND THE OIL MARKET – BODY BAGS AND GASOLINE PRICE HIKES KILL PRESIDENTS AT ELECTIONS
Iran has found itself in a desperate situation. The special character of the American approach is that the United States uses negotiations as a weapon or a way to prolong the war, as a way to deceive a foolish adversary, but never as actual negotiations. Therefore, Trump’s ultimatum is a lie. The United States will still attack, just later.
All the Iranian negotiators in 2025 were killed — this was more than a clear hint from the Israeli-American alliance. Iran has no choice, it will have to fight. And since it has nothing to lose, it’s better to raise the stakes to the limit and turn the war into an all-out one, using every available means.
Yes, there will be heavy losses, and there will be a risk of the Americans using nuclear weapons. But surrender will also mean losses and death, only later and in installments. Iran has nothing to lose anyway. And soon we will see whether Iran is ready to fight for real. https://johnhelmer.net/the-

Iran's military starting Thursday issued a warning to ships at sea that it planned to run a drill starting this weekend which is to include live firing in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially disrupting traffic through a waterway which sees 20% of all the world's oil pass through it.
This prompted a US warning in response, given US forces are also in the region - but quite a bit further away. On Iran's two-day live-fire naval exercise, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it will not tolerate any unsafe behavior which threats US forces, and somewhat awkwardly called on IRGC forces to operate professionally...

On Iran's two-day live-fire naval exercise, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it will not tolerate any unsafe behavior which threats US forces, and somewhat awkwardly called on IRGC forces to operate professionally...
..Meanwhile the US forces build-up continues in the region:
A U.S. Navy destroyer made a port visit to the southern Israeli city of Eilat on Friday. The USS Delbert D. Black is one of six U.S. destroyers now in the Middle East, along with an aircraft carrier and three other combat ships.
China and Russia have just sent a big, resounding message to Washington in dispatching their own naval assets which have been sailing near Iranian vessels over the last several days - though this appeared for a prior, pre-planned joint drill.
According to the details of this prior joint exercise:
Ahead of the exercises, Iran issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), warning of live-fire military activity in the airspace surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the notice, military firing activity was conducted between January 27 and 29 within a five-nautical-mile radius. The airspace—from ground level up to 25,000 feet—was designated as restricted and hazardous throughout the duration of the maneuvers.
In parallel, the three countries just deepened trilateral ties:
In a dramatic geopolitical development... Iran, China and Russia formally signed a comprehensive strategic pact, marking one of the most consequential shifts in 21st-century international relations. While the full text of the agreement is being released in stages by the three governments, state media in Tehran, Beijing and Moscow have acknowledged the ceremony and described it as a cornerstone for a new multipolar order.
The pact comes against the backdrop of decades of growing cooperation between these three states. Iran and Russia earlier concluded a 20-year Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty designed to deepen economic, political, and defense ties, and to blunt the impact of Western sanctions — a treaty that was signed in January 2025 and entered into force last year...

..One thing the White House should be able to perceive, however, is that any military action against Tehran is going to clearly be much more complex, and harder, than some one-off mission in Venezuela. The potential for massive blow-back and for things to go seriously awry is much greater in the case of the Islamic Republic. https://www.zerohedge.com/

As Axios reports:U.S. President Donald Trump made a big mistake when he threatened war on Iran. He was doing that to get concessions from Iran which the country is unable to make...
Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman (KBS) said in a private briefing on Friday in Washington that if President Trump doesn’t follow through on his threats against Iran, the regime will end up stronger, four sources in the room tell Axios.…
“ At this point, if this doesn’t happen, it will only embolden the regime,” KBS said, according to the sources in the room.…
In a separate briefing on Friday, a Gulf official said the region was “stuck” in a position where the U.S. striking Iran risked “bad outcomes,” but not doing so would mean “Iran will come out of this stronger.” Prince Khalid bin Salman has a realist’s view and is right with this analysis.
The Axios reporter though, Barak Ravid, – well known to be a Zionist asset -, is trying to turn that realist view KBS uttered into a Saudi argument for bombing Iran:
Why it matters: This is a reversal from the public Saudi talking points cautioning against escalation and from the deep concern Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) expressed to Trump three weeks ago. That warning was one reason Trump decided to delay a strike.
No. The analysis KBS gave is not a reversal of the Saudi position. The Saudis are still cautioning against escalation. What KBS did there was to simply point out the calamity Trump has placed himself into.
To interpret that statement as a Saudi argument for an attack on Iran is a willful distortion of what was said. It is a typical primitive attempt by a Zionist ideologue to ‘create a reality’ that does not exist. https://www.moonofalabama.
Iran Says US Carrier Has Retreated Near Yemen, Opening Door To Diplomacy https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-says-us-carrier-has-retreated-near-yemen-opening-door-diplomacy
But it may turn out that the window for Israel and the US to subdue Iran has passed, permanently. The US is not what it once was, militarily, while Iran has survived the US attacks and is getting more help from Russia and even China. Despite determined efforts by Zionist billionaires, the US public is turning ever-more against supporting Israel in funding costs alone, let alone actual expenditure of lives. As we have long said, this was a generational problem for Israel, since younger Jews in the US don’t identify much with Israel. Greg Stoker, who is in deep red Texas and warned loudly and clearly that he does not likely citing personal anecdata, nevertheless pointed out that he’s seen a pronounced shift against Trump. Among other things, Texans understand that the Venezuela crude is of little value to the US oil industry and will mainly be shipped to the Middle East. So he sees even generally foreign-policy-indifferent conservatives turning against Trump’s warmongering.
Israel can be expected to do the obvious, which is to continue to engage in what is too politely called asymmetric warfare or more accurately called terrorism, both to try to destabilize Iran and to preserve credibility among the warmongers in the Beltway. How far that gets in the next few months will be an indicator of how much Iran has been able to ferret out and destroy Mossad networks in Iran after its 12 Day War decapitation attacks and its recent protest escalations.
Trump is admittedly becoming more and more erratic every day. He might wind up concluding he has too much manhood at stake to back down now or any time very soon with Iran. But as you can see, he has manu many reasons to try to find a way to retreat, even if he tells himself it is only temporary. https://www.nakedcapitalism.
Iran Hits Back At EU: Designates European Armies As 'Terrorist Entities' https://www.zerohedge.com/
..Neither Russia nor China will fight a war for Iran. But they will do their best to supply it with all it needs while it continues to bind U.S. forces in the Middle East. While the chance of a war on Iran has now been diminished it has not vanished at all. U.S. forces are still in the Middle East and ready to strike on short notice.
In the U.S. Trump is under pressure. His ratings are sinking. The brutal enforcement of immigration laws continues to erode his support. Over the weekend the Republicans lost a state Senate seat to Democrats in a formerly deep red district:
While Republicans including Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had been sounding alarms about the North Texas race being too close for comfort in recent weeks, the 31-point-swing leftward was a surprise across the board. The loss is a “wake-up call for Republicans across Texas,” Patrick wrote on social media after the face. “Our voters cannot take anything for granted.”
It is a bad sign for Republicans hoping to maintain a Senate majority and an already-slim majority in the House, said Jason Villalba, a former GOP state lawmaker who now leads the Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation, a research group.
“Whatever inroads the GOP was making recently among Latinos in Texas has begun to really revert back to what it was originally,” he said, pointing to Saturday’s shifts in Texas precincts with large Hispanic populations. “That will have implications around Texas and around the country.”
Trump needs a victory. A war on Iran is unlikely to bring one. A new agreement that can be claimed to curb Iran’s non- existent nuclear weapons can be sold as one. For now Trump seems to have decided to try that route. https://www.moonofalabama.
Yves Smith, Iran War? A Look at Boundary Conditions Says Trump Will TACO With Intent to Strike Later; Israel Terrorism Set to Continue
The US is over-extended. It does not have enough air defense missiles. It does not have the navy to contain Venezuela, Cuba and Iran on a long-term basis. Trump on some level understands this, hence his fondness for intense, intended to be overwhelming blows.
The most likely course is for some sort of sham negotiations to allow the US to climb down for now and for Trump to depict the mere fact of talks as a win and a proof of US domination. But don’t expect the US to relent. But as Greg Stoker pointed out, the Israeli minister of defense was in Washington last week to hand over the strike packages. Israel has not given up on Project Iran. The hawks most assuredly have not.But it may turn out that the window for Israel and the US to subdue Iran has passed, permanently.

Simplicius, Putin Flatters Trump With Kiev-Energy Ceasefire
Russia has agreed to partially suspend long-range strikes on Ukrainian targets at the request of US President Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has confirmed. The weeklong moratorium is to last until February 1 and is meant to “create favorable conditions for negotiations,” Peskov told journalists on Friday. He declined to offer additional details about the arrangement, including whether Kiev made any commitments for reciprocity.
Zelensky had previously said he would hold to the truce if Russia does, though some OSINT analysts had already noted that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia had disappeared in the past day or two, while Russia had only been launching a few minor Geran attacks, presumably at non-energy-related infrastructure for several days.
But what’s interesting is Peskov said that the “week long” truce would end on February 1st, which appears to mean that the ceasefire had already been in effect all week. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-13026-putin-flatters-trump
Simplicius, Ukraine Suffers Unprecedented Nationwide Blackouts as Grid Teeters on Edge
Somewhat swept under the rug by all the new commotion filling the news cycles today was the fact that yesterday Ukraine suffered a massive unprecedented country-wide blackout which even blew out major parts of neighboring Moldova.....Stabilizing the power grid and restoring full nuclear power generation after today’s blackout will take 24 to 36 hours, stated Sergey Nagornyak, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy, Housing, and Utilities...
..It’s difficult to know what to make of the nationwide shutdown—whether it’s a freak occurrence due to uncommonly cold weather, or if it’s a herald of things to come in the near future as the last frayed strands of the grid are snapped. But it certainly does not bode well for the long term future because with Western support dwindling, and Russian arms production only increasing, there is simply no conceivable argument to be made for Ukraine sustaining its national infrastructure.
That’s not to say Ukraine will surrender as soon as the grid totally collapses—other countries have survived far longer on far less in wartime. But it simply does not bode well, particularly for Zelensky’s regime. And there is now talk that the power shortages are starting to acutely affect even the military’s needs at the front, particularly given fuel shortages due to inordinate requirements for keeping civilian generators going; not to mention the disruption of railways for supply and logistics, etc.
Also, it should be mentioned that Trump’s urgent begging of Putin for the energy ceasefire can now be understood in a new light. The timing makes it highly plausible that intelligence informed Trump that Ukraine’s situation was nearing the brink and an immediate “intervention” was necessary to prevent total national shut down. Either that, or Zelensky himself simply called and begged Trump for this favor for the same reason. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/ukraine-suffers-unprecedented-nationwide

We’re not dependent on what anyone – the authorities, orthodox economists, propagandists, wild optimists or prophets of doom – tries to tell us...
Beyond sheer scale, though, the big difference between the previous GFC and the looming “GFC II” sequel is that, this time, it’s not the banking system, but money itself, that will be in the eye of the storm.
Starting in the 1990s, we put banking at hazard in order to pursue the dream of infinite economic expansion on a finite planet. This time, we’ve gambled with the credibility, and hence the viability, of money itself. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/318-the-surplus-energy-economy-part-one/

Emails and Documents In The Epstein Files Give Further Evidence Of His Mossad Connections. https://the307.substack.com/p/epstein-files-give-more-evidence
Read the whole thing at the link: The attached email is the most shocking email I've seen yet in the Epstein release and I haven't seen anyone talking about it.
"We've had another serious incident since an American shot the trial judge in our child sex trafficking case here."
"We've had another serious incident since an American shot the trial judge in our child sex trafficking case here."
I'm sorry, WTF? An American was in Mexico and shot a trial judge overseeing a child sex trafficking case?
Yes. It goes on "He and I both think this latest incident is tied to the fact we have reached out to your team. Who on your team knows we are talking to you, anyone assigned from NSA, CIA or US State Department? Please understand peoples lives here are in jeopardy."
The guy writing the email is accusing the DOJ of having someone from the NSA, CIA or State on his team AND suggesting their knowledge of prosecuting a sex trafficker would generate a hit on the judge assigned to the case.
It gets better (worse)... That wasn't the first violent attempt to stop the prosecution of a sex trafficker.

Surplus Energy Economics, The Surplus Energy Economy, part one LIFE AFTER TRUTH
We’re not dependent on what anyone – the authorities, orthodox economists, propagandists, wild optimists or prophets of doom – tries to tell us...
..This resolute denial of reality has led us into two self-deceiving fallacies.
One of these is that the material economy can be reinvigorated using monetary tools. But this isn’t how the relationship between the financial and the physical actually works. We can, indeed, create almost limitless amounts of monetary claims, but energy and other resources can’t be lent into existence by the banking system, or conjured out of the ether by central bankers.
Together the principles of two economies and of money as claim make it apparent that there needs to be a state of equilibrium between the monetary economy and its material counterpart. If we allow the monetary to out-grow the material, we set up forces tending towards the restoration of equilibrium.
What this means is that “excess claims” must, in one way or another, be eliminated. Under conditions of comparatively modest disequilibrium, the erosion of claims through inflation can suffice to meet this need for the elimination of excess claims.
..It takes no great intuition to recognise that the financial system is headed for a crisis that will make the events of 2008-09 look like a stroll in the park, or that the AI bubble will burst, leaving us with very little recoverable value from burned-out and time-expired GPUs, vast, single-purpose buildings “in the middle of nowhere”, and debt collateralised against assets with minimal recoverable value.One of these is that the material economy can be reinvigorated using monetary tools. But this isn’t how the relationship between the financial and the physical actually works. We can, indeed, create almost limitless amounts of monetary claims, but energy and other resources can’t be lent into existence by the banking system, or conjured out of the ether by central bankers.

What this means is that “excess claims” must, in one way or another, be eliminated. Under conditions of comparatively modest disequilibrium, the erosion of claims through inflation can suffice to meet this need for the elimination of excess claims.
Now, though, we are far beyond those limits at which inflation alone can reconcile the forces tending towards equilibrium. Accordingly, we cannot now escape an enforced elimination of claim value, meaning a crash in asset prices and a cascade of credit defaults...
Beyond sheer scale, though, the big difference between the previous GFC and the looming “GFC II” sequel is that, this time, it’s not the banking system, but money itself, that will be in the eye of the storm.
Starting in the 1990s, we put banking at hazard in order to pursue the dream of infinite economic expansion on a finite planet. This time, we’ve gambled with the credibility, and hence the viability, of money itself. https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/318-the-surplus-energy-economy-part-one/

Gold & Geopolitics, The Aftershocks
..Most people think Friday was the bull trap. The parabolic top that signals the end. I think they've got it exactly backwards. This is the bear trap. The violent reset designed to convince everyone it's over right before the real move begins.
Friday wasn’t “just” a price crash. It was a credibility implosion. And Monday’s calm is the market equivalent of standing in a house with cracks spreading through the foundation saying “looks solid to me”...
..Want to know what they really feared? Look at the futures spreads. Gold: $30 spread (<1%). Silver: $20 spread (20%, in backwardation). They really needed to kill silver specifically... Friday wasn’t “just” a price crash. It was a credibility implosion. And Monday’s calm is the market equivalent of standing in a house with cracks spreading through the foundation saying “looks solid to me”...
..Monday showed they were running the exact same scheme as Friday. LBMA fixes at a decent price. Then the selling resumes afterwards, driving it down before any COMEX-linked settlements occur. Same playbook. Different day.
They’re systematically attacking every paper silver vehicle to drain the physical metal backing them...
They’re systematically attacking every paper silver vehicle to drain the physical metal backing them...
..Why? Because they need that physical silver. When authorized participants redeem SLV shares, they can pull the physical bars out of the trust. When AGQ liquidates positions, it ultimately forces settlement somewhere in the chain. The paper crash serves a dual purpose: they make money on the timing spread, AND they force the physical metal loose from these vehicles.
The question isn’t whether they’re going after physical. They’re already doing it. The question is: where is all that physical going? Who needs it badly enough to engineer a 40% crash to shake it free?
And who has historically been the largest accumulator of physical precious metals when Western markets panic? China.
Back in October, when India placed a massive order that froze the London silver market and sent lease rates to 200% overnight, someone had to save the system. According to multiple sources, JPMorgan leased 4,000 tons of silver from ICBC - Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Four thousand tons. Three-month lease term. Due back in January... And silver crashed 40% on January 30. The exact day Starmer wrapped up his meetings in Beijing... The question isn’t whether they’re going after physical. They’re already doing it. The question is: where is all that physical going? Who needs it badly enough to engineer a 40% crash to shake it free?
And who has historically been the largest accumulator of physical precious metals when Western markets panic? China.
..Coincidences pile up... What I do know for certain: Shanghai spot is limit-stopped at $102 right now. Western paper shows $79. India’s at $86. The East is still trading at a premium. To me, this is evidence that physical markets have stopped following paper...
..When they need to inflict this much pain, when the manipulation becomes this obvious, it means they're losing control. And once you see the game clearly. Once you watch them flaunt their own rules… You can’t unsee it. https://no01.substack.com/p/the-aftershocksToday: Gold and Silver Bounce — Dead Cat or Reload? https://www.zerohedge.com/the-market-ear/gold-and-silver-bounce-dead-cat-or-reload
