For new subscribers: An ALERT is issued when certain events or information cause Evie and me to take action. Later today, we’re running out to Costco and fuel stations to top everything up.
It looks like the Iran war is on. My model is that the US initiates these things on a Friday night or the weekend, so as not to disrupt its precious stock market too much. The weekend gives them time to repair and paper over any market selling that might indicate anything other than wild popular support for the war.
“Look! The markets love the bombing…therefore it’s a good thing!”
It’s just how these psychopaths think.
The first sign would be a popping oil price:

Check.
The second sign would be a stealth accumulation of oil stocks well in advance of the war. You know, because the insiders always know in advance, and they cannot help their raccoon selves from enriching themselves.

Check.
A third sign would be various nations telling their people to get out of harms way…right now.
Huckabee tells US embassy employees (be email) to leave Israel – TODAY.
The New York Times obtained the email. The timestamp is 10:24 AM local time. The language says “no need to panic.” The action says panic.
China and Canada tell their citizens to evacuate Iran:
Check, check, and check.
A fourth sign would be an overly massive build-up of aircraft parked out in the open in a launch-ready posture:
Check.
And, heck, it may have already started – this is from Iran today.
Why We’re Stocking Up Today
Now, why would that be cause for an ALERT? After all, the last time the US bombed Iran, nothing much happened (and I didn’t send out an alert).
Well, because this time China has clearly gotten itself involved, in the same way NATO generally and the US specifically involved itself in providing military intelligence and targeting information as well as missiles and other war materiel to Ukraine.
