US Has Been Engaged In Major Airstrikes On Pro-Iran Paramilitaries In Iraq

After dozens of fighters killed, another war front opening?

Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) said Tuesday that US airstrikes in Anbar, western Iraq, killed 15 of its fighters, including a senior commander.

“In a blatant and cowardly attack, the commander of the Anbar Operations in the Popular Mobilization Forces, Saad Dua al-Bayji, was martyred along with a group of his heroic comrades following a treacherous American airstrike that targeted the command headquarters while they were performing their national duty,” the PMF said in a statement, according to The Cradle.

Trapped: The Private Credit Exit Door Has Been Locked And Sealed Shut

When multiple large funds start limiting withdrawals at the same time, that is not random. That is a signal.

While headlines are fixated on the Iran war and today’s “feel good” market rally, it is worth noting that beneath the surface, hours ago credit markets just got worse.

The latest example comes from Apollo, which has been forced to put the brakes on investor withdrawals from one of its largest retail focused funds, according to Bloomberg. Its $25 billion Apollo Debt Solutions vehicle is the latest private credit flaming bag of shit that has hit redemption limits after investors tried to pull more than double what the structure allows.

In other words, investors want out and are being treated like the old ladies on line at the South Philly Acme trying to buy liverwurst and chicken salad at the deli counter. That is, to say, they’re being told to take a number.

  • They say they’ve identified the cause, are in direct contact with the affected customer, and are reviewing the entire process!
  • This is a huge breach of trust from one of the most respected government mints in the world!

Central banks’ gold buying momentum carries into 2026

After surging to an all-time peak of nearly $5,600 an ounce earlier this year, gold has come under immense pressure in recent weeks as elevated energy prices from the ongoing Middle East war sparked fears of global inflation and reduced expectations of lower interest rates — a scenario that hurts the safe-haven metal.

At the same time, official-sector demand remains resilient in the first few months, according to the World Gold Council, which forecasts central banks to purchase roughly 850 tonnes of gold in 2026 — almost the same as last year.

Based on WGC data, analysts at investing research platform BestBrokers compiled the top buyers of gold in 2025:  (Chart)

UFO ‘Gatekeeper’ General Vanishes Days After Trump’s Full Disclosure Order

President Trump’s order to release every UAP and UFO file appears to have triggered a wave of vanishings and deaths among the very insiders who guarded those secrets — and now Congress is being actively blocked from investigating.

The general is retired Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He walked out of his Albuquerque home on February 27 with only hiking boots, a wallet, and a revolver. No phone. No glasses. No trace since.

Late reporter for Q4…APM.TO

Look at this growth, year over year…41 million to 115 million

Keys from release, IMHO.  Once again, they are selling direct to somebody who pays more than the crimex prices.

Record realized prices: In the fourth quarter the Company achieved an average realized gold price of $4,171/oz and average realized silver price of $59.88/oz, both higher than the spot market averages for gold and silver prices of $4,167/oz and $55.29/oz, respectively.

We also expect several important milestones in the year ahead, including the planned listing on the New York Stock Exchange and the release of an updated technical report at Golden Queen, which we believe will further enhance the Company’s visibility and profile with the global investment community.”

Negative – Guidance for next year is not a huge growth in GEO’s, but the prices will be higher if gold and silver continue their upward trends.

The Company expects consolidated production to be between 100K and 114K gold equivalent ounces in 2026, based on an 85:1 gold?silver ratio, comprising between 46K – 54K ounces of gold and 4.6 – 5.1 million ounces of silver.

Gold, silver, and PM stocks…

jumping this morning.  I am going to take off half my hedges, and probably the rest when SIL and GDX hit 90.  A bit of a risk, but it looks like the markets are sniffing out a peace deal that will last.   Will their be bumps and posturing, for sure.  But I think the military pressure from the US and the political pressure from other ME countries will dive Iran to embrace economic incentives rather than military power.  They now  know we will bomb the shit out of them, so the logical step would be to embrace the economic rewards for those in power while still screwing over the general population, you know, just how it works in the US and Canada.  We already know the IRGC loves money as they basically owned half the oil supply and profits from it to drive military purchases.  The rub here is who will now lead the IRGC?  If US lets the IRGC function as it did, it’s just kicking the can down the road, so the details will be very interesting.

May you live in interesting times!

After The Epstein Files, It’s Become All But Impossible To Believe He Killed Himself

Overwhelming weight of evidence confirms he didn’t die in prison. He was removed from his cell, transported out and another body used for the autopsy.  This is a long piece but if you take the time to go through ALL the contradictions, witnesses etc. it is clear he didn’t die as stated.  Whether he is still alive in Israel or somewhere else is unknown.  I would not be surprised, because anyone with this much dirt on govt. officials in numerous countries, probably has a kill switch that if he dies would be activated.                   https://www.zerohedge.com/political/after-epstein-files-its-become-all-impossible-believe-he-killed-himself

Iran’s regime offers a 5% commission to the U.S. on oil and gas sales through Swiss mediation.

https://x.com/Terror_Alarm/status/2036527335977959933

GROC SAYS NYET

No, this isn’t true. It’s a recycled, unsourced Feb 20 report from Iran International claiming a rejected Iranian proposal in Geneva nuclear talks that allegedly included a 5% US commission on oil via Swiss mediation (plus other concessions). A senior US official called the entire report “completely false.” No evidence of any such offer exists now. Recent US moves are temporary waivers for stranded Iranian oil sales to ease global prices amid the conflict.

COMEX & LBMA – Endgame

Many analysts and YouTubers have been using the term “endgame” for months, if not longer.  This is the FIRST time I have actually used that term, since even though I have discussed the fact that those exchanges days were numbered, I never felt it was going to happen in less than a few weeks or months, before now.  I expect it to happen in hours or days!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 I had believed that the two pronged smash in late January and early February would be enough for the remaining bullion bank shorts to cover their short positions. I was wrong and we have seen that the exchanges, the banks and the government, combined to have one last take down to allow the shorts to cover and go long.  That has occurred and is now in the rear view mirror.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  It is anyone’s guess, how fast and how high, Gold & Silver will go in the next two months when all hell breaks loose.  I expect new ATH’s in both,  before the US celebrates it’s 250th birthday on July 4th.

PRESENTS AND DEALS

President Trump just said Iran’s leaders sent him a “present” as part of proving who is really in control

The present, related to oil and gas, arrived today, worth a “tremendous amount of money”

“They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money.”

“And I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.”

“They gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it, so that meant one thing to me — we deal with the right people.”

“No, it wasn’t nuclear-related. It was oil and gas-related, and it was a very nice thing they did.”

“But what it showed me is that we’re dealing with the right people.”

Why a cartful of massive gold bars was spotted inside the White House last week

Specifically, a couple of dudes in dark suits were seen in the hallways of the White House wheeling what looked like a cart loaded up with gold bars, well-placed sources briefed on the situation told On The Money.

Mind you, these were not the puny, 1-oz trinkets you buy from Costco. These were those massive, Fort Knox-style gold bars — like a foot long each. The kind you’ve seen in a James Bond flick. The kind that, if you were planning to lift one, you’d need to grab it with both hands and get your back into it.

Russia Halts Ammonium Nitrate Exports As Global Fertilizer Crisis Set To Worsen

The fertilizer crisis appears to be worsening just as the Northern Hemisphere planting season, in some areas, is about to begin, with top ammonium nitrate supplier Russia announcing on Tuesday via state media that exports of the critical crop nutrient will be halted.

Russia’s state-run news agency TASS said Russia will suspend ammonium nitrate exports from March 21 through April 21. The report cited a statement from the Agriculture Ministry.

The temporary restriction is intended to secure domestic fertilizer supplies during the spring planting season. Exports made under intergovernmental agreements are exempt.
