It is a war between Israel/US and Iran. At least in theory. Yet, as this war goes on, Israel turns its attention to Lebanon, Iran remains focused on the Gulf States, while America's only concern is markets. I couldn’t see it clearly because I had been blinded by belief in my enemy’s enemy. But the motion of matter has revealed to me once more a pattern of the hidden hand. I didn’t understand the black turban. The significance of its organising principle. When the Shia of the Zagros bow to Mecca, they bow through the Gulf States. To them, winning isn’t defeating America, or even Israel. It’s moving closer toward the Blackstone.

I know it’s too much to fathom. I don’t know if I even believe it. The problem is, and this is the biggest problem you will have in denying the possibility of this. Everyone loses. That is, everyone loses except those in control of Iran, Israel, and the US. You, me, Lebanon, Sunni monarchies, and the Iranian diaspora. We all lose. Israel get Lebanon, Iran get the Gulf States, and the US gets double digit interest rates. The last of these vested interests is the most opaque. But it’s sound. It has to do with BlackRock’s cyclical management of the financial plumbing system.

The following are the very best questions:

- Why is camera phone footage of US and Israeli strikes within Tehran being posted to social media when Iran’s internet is cut off?
- Why do the Israel/US military show no footage of strikes against the tunnel entrances of underground missile bases in Iran?
- Why is Iran still attacking the Gulf States after it destroyed the US radar bases it needed to remove to attack Israel?
- Why are no commercial satellite companies in any country in the world allowing coverage over Israel?
- Why is all the apparent damage being inflicted on Israel coming from Hezbollah?
- Why did America attack Iran if it wanted to keep the strait of Hormuz open?
- Why is US/Israel striking Saudi and Gulf State energy infrastructure?
- Why hasn’t Yemen joined the war?

The fact of the matter is, the fact of the matter. This is how the war is moving. If it keeps moving this way everyone loses. Things don’t make much sense when the theory is wrong.
