Seyed M. Marandi: Iran Just Put the Strait of Hormuz on LIMITED MODE - Signs Point MAJOR Escalation

War and conflict
#1

Prof Marandi with some really dire predictions but we can also expect huge changes for the better. The global economic situation is on the verge of catastrophe which will become significantly worse in the next two weeks. During the next three to four weeks things are going to get really bad. On the other hand the balance of power has shifted, with the axis of resistance becoming popular across the world. People are seeing through the western propaganda. Marandi sees this as the era of the demise of Zionism.

Well worth the time IMO.

Iran War Nearing Its Final Act ā€” What Comes Next? ā€” Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions

Simon Dixon

21 April 2026

The speed at which the Iran situation is changing has gone completely insane, and the media wants you to believe we are on the brink of World War III. But Iā€™m here to tell you: it is pure theater.

What looks like absolute chaos is actually a highly coordinated OPEC and Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) operation.

I recently sat down with Nathan Fitzsimmons for a 1-hour and 10-minute deep dive on BTC Sessions to pull back the curtain on the global wealth transfer and financial reset currently playing out right in front of our eyes.

In this interview, we break down exactly how this ā€˜warā€™ is being used to asset-strip America and deliberately wipe out the middle class through engineered inflation and high energy prices. While the physical destruction and tragic loss of life are very real, the geopolitical outcome has already been negotiated by factions of transnational capital behind closed doors.

In this episode, we unpack:

The Big Oil & FIC Agenda: Why keeping oil prices highā€”but just below total demand destructionā€”is a deliberate tactic to wipe out the middle class and force a global reset.

The Illusion of War: Why an actual ground invasion is impossible, and how the ā€œblockadesā€ and proxy escalations are just theatrical leverage for the transition from the Petrodollar to a multipolar energy market.

The Real Profiteers: How BlackRockā€™s Aladdin AI controls 50% of the market via algorithmic manipulation, and why billions of dollars in rebuild contracts are already lined up for giants like Cheniere Energy, JP Morgan, and Chevron.

The Domestic Surveillance State: How this engineered economic crisis is meant to provoke domestic unrest, giving the Technical Industrial Complex (via companies like Palantir) the exact excuse they need to strip away the US Constitution and label everyday citizens as domestic terrorists.

The Ultimate Resistance: Why the political system is dead, why there is no government coming to save you, and why you are either an elite insider, or you need to be aggressively stacking sats.

The system wants you poor, compliant, and begging for a bailout. Your best form of resistance is building parallel economies, accumulating wealth, and learning how to take your Bitcoin into self-custody.

Watch the full interview to understand what is actually happening behind the fog of war.

Not aiming this comment at you personally @Rich but as far as Iā€™m concerned any usage of the word War in inverted commas, and the insinuation that it is a contrived spectacle, is beneath contempt.

Real people are being killed day after day. We can be thankful it is not us. Yet.

How events are being manipulated is quite another question. Iā€™ll reply on that elsewhere

Thanks for posting.

I agree with your comments @Rich and it looks to me inevitable that lockdowns of some description, in the national interest etc etc, will be ā€œforced upon usā€. Maybe not for two weeks or so, to give Charles the chance to make his visit to the home of the brave. (Whatever that is actually about is anyoneā€™s guess)

Iā€™m taking the opportunity to enjoy the spring weather while the buses are still running because you can bet that the less popular rural routes will be the first to be unavoidably canned.

Iā€™ll be delighted to check back here in four weeks and say I was 100pc wrong.
