WARIRAN “EVERYTHING’S FIIIIINE!!!”

-We begin with a reminder of the breaking news we discussed in last night’s Liberty Conspiracy Live broadcast, the fact that, inside the IDF, word is spreading that the Netanyahu aggression has spread their aggressive goon-squad very thin.

The economic consequences are showing, and will grow worse,

Trump repeatedly has extended deadlines for the “severe actions” he has threatened (boots on ground — perhaps on islands like Kharg and Qeshm [to the east]— and bombing of civilian infrastructure — but see what Israel is doing, which we note, below):

  • He postponed strikes on Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure (originally tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz). The latest extension gives Iran until April 6, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET. He cited “positive developments” in negotiations and even a request from the Iranian side. LINK

  • Trump publicly said talks are “going very well,” claimed Iran is “begging” for a deal, and described some Iranian gesture as a “very big present.” However, Iran publicly denies serious negotiations, calls US claims “fake news,” accuses Trump of “negotiating with himself,” and insists it will only end the war on its own terms. Messages are being exchanged indirectly (e.g., via Pakistan). LINK

Meanwhile:

  • Israeli strikes continue and appear to be expanding, including recent hits on Iranian steel plants, nuclear-related sites, and power infrastructure—actions Iran says violate any pause and amount to “backstabbing” the US diplomatic window. Israel has warned its attacks “will escalate and expand.”

  • US-Israeli joint operations and air strikes persist, while Iran has launched missiles/drones at regional targets (including US bases, which some reports say have left many uninhabitable, forcing remote work for troops). Here are Ron Paul and Chris Rossini on the bases of US Empire. LINK

  • And then there are the internationalists, who see Israel and the US openly attacking civilian targets, then see Iran’s response, and they condemn Iran… check out our embedded video clip from RT…

-Yet, despite all the damage, the Iranians are trying to facilitate humanitarian aid. Headline: “Iran says it will facilitate humanitarian aid through strait” LINK (Items in the piece: ~82,000 civilian buildings damaged overall (including hospitals), with “countless homes, hospitals and schools” affected per humanitarian reports. Israeli strikes described as continuing.)
-The fearmongering yesterday at Trump’s Cabinet meeting was astounding, and full of self-contradictions. Here is the clip of JD Vance offering as a rationale for attacking Iran the fear that Iranian “militants” might supply “terrorists” (as the US defines it, that is a very loose, politically-expedient, term) the fear of nuclear-vests on “terrorists”.

-In response, I thought I would offer: “Mr. Vance might want to discuss the US attacking Iranian nuclear energy sites last year, and, years ago, the US-Mossad computer virus attack on Iranian nuclear energy-related work that could have released radioactive agents and killed thousands. Not to mention the current US mass slaughter in Iran, the extrajudicial murders in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and the US not bothering to cite Israel for its nuclear weapons. And if JD is so worried about nuclear material getting into the wrong hands, why did his boss dump the JCPOA, which actually ALLOWED US inspectors into Iran?”
…And Pete Hegseth is quite the hero, isn’t he?

THE EFFECT OF US AGGRESSION ON WORLD ECONOMY, US ECONOMY

-Europe and the UK are facing a serious energy crunch in March 2026, driven by the Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is disrupting oil and LNG supplies, causing gas prices to surge (up ~70% in Europe this month), low storage levels (Europe ~28-30% full, UK with only ~2 days of gas reserves), and warnings of fuel shortages and higher electricity costs by April. Governments are discussing demand curbs, rationing possibilities, and accelerating renewables, but immediate risks of blackouts or restricted supply loom—especially since much electricity generation relies on gas. This ties directly into the higher natural gas/oil prices and fertilizer cost pressures (as gas is a key fertilizer feedstock), and the broader supply-chain disruptions from Hormuz. HEADLINE: “Is Europe sleepwalking into its worst gas crisis since 2022?” LINK
-The closure of the Strait is directly threatening Taiwan’s semiconductor industry, particularly TSMC, which produces ~90% of the world’s most advanced chips. Taiwan imports 97% of its energy and relies on LNG for up to 40% of its electricity generation (with Qatar supplying ~33-37% of that LNG, all routed through Hormuz). TSMC’s fabs are extremely power-hungry. Additionally, ~1/3 of global helium (critical for chip manufacturing processes like cooling wafers and lithography) comes from Qatar and is now disrupted, with ~200 specialized containers stranded near the strait. Taiwan’s LNG reserves are critically low (11 days), raising risks of power shortages, production slowdowns, higher costs, and global chip supply disruptions/delays (especially for AI, smartphones, and data centers). Some reports also note knock-on effects from sulfuric acid and other chemical shortages tied to Gulf refining. LINK
-This, from the Duran today, as Stanislaw Krapivnick offers essential information on the gas and oil industry.

-And… do you think Trump would pause the federal Gas TAX? Headline: “Trump considers suspending federal gas tax as prices climb” LINK

A MIDPOINT BIT OF MANIA

And this… Makes total sense.

IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE

This is nice to see. I know that many people have problems with Wal Mart, but its teams through the years also have offered many positives. This is a positive. Headline: “Walmart heiress educates on why ICE needs to release 70% of detainees in new ad” LINK The woman referenced in the MSN article is Christy Walton, a Walmart heiress (widow of John T. Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton) and billionaire philanthropist/political donor who lives a relatively private life in Wyoming. Her recent public statement on migrants/ICE detainees is not a personal video—she communicated it exclusively through a paid full-page ad (print in The New York Times on March 22, 2026, plus other papers, and a digital version). The ad calls for releasing ~70% of ICE detainees who have no criminal convictions (citing a Cato Institute study), quotes the Fourth Amendment, and urges due process for the rest while criticizing conditions in detention. Here is her ad: LINK
-And this organization is spending a lot of money to force the government to abide by its own statutes. Again, people doing the right thing, here.

And it is indicative of how onerous are the Trump Admin attempts to silence people that EFF had to release this X post and article (linked in the post)

This is a big one to watch, on the court side. Headline: “Venezuelan sues Trump administration over deportation to CECOT” Link
-Then, there’s this “Woman accused of calling ICE on her roofers to skip on the bill” LINK

COLLECTIVISM - TAXATION

One of the key planks of Marx’s Communist Manifesto was a “progressive” (try to figure out how that is defined, let alone called “progressive”, as in, promoting progress) income tax. That, of course, implies that the earnings of others belong to the agents of the state and those who want to get that cash handed to them. Not a good way to treat one’s neighbor. Here is Liz Warren, doing what, perhaps, she thinks Neo-Marxists will like, and, perhaps, implying that she can define for others how they value their earnings, and whether or not they got them illegitimately. Said “definer” being a person who votes for her own salary off your earnings. Headline: “Elizabeth Warren proposes tax levy for households with $50 million” LINK

ANTHROPIC

Headline: “Judge rejects Pentagon’s attempt to ‘cripple’ Anthropic” LINK
