“Called it!” – 2026 & “the end of US hegemony” – Updated
Updated April 08
Kit Knightly
In January, following Mark Carney’s well-publicised Davos speech, I wrote an article headlined…
2026 – The Year US Hegemony Ends?
To be clear, I was not – and am not – predicting the empire is about to fall and usher in a new world of justice and freedom.
No, I was predicting that certain media and political figures would start belatedly calling out the empire’s crimes and, more importantly, would start demanding and/or predicting its demise.
Two-and-a-half months later, we can see that they are indeed doing exactly that.
Even when that article was published, when the war with Iran was barely a twinkle in the Pentagon’s eye, articles were appearing urging Europe to “reckon with what the US has become”.
Things have obviously escalated since then.
Writing in the Guardian, Owen Jones calls the coup in Venezuela and war in Iran “the morbid symptoms of a collapsing hegemony.” He argues this tide of chaos is the thrashing of a dying Empire.
In same publication, Larry Elliot compares Trump’s Iran war to the Boer War “a hollow victory that marks the beginning of the end of empire”
In a similar vein, writing in the South China Morning Post, Toronto-based Alex Lo compares the Iran war to the Suez Crisis, which “signalled the last hurrah of European imperialism”, before concluding:
However oppressive the regime in Tehran is, it’s clear the US-Israel axis is the real threat to world peace, and not just the global economy.
Granted, it’s the SCMP, but still.
Former Spanish minister Ione Belarra Urteaga is openly calling the US and Israel “terrorist states”.
Project Syndicate – “the world’s opinion page” – features Swedish political scientist Professor Carla Norrlöf arguing “American Hegemony Is Collapsing Before Our Eyes”
The Financial Times has a professor of their own – of history, from Cornell this time – who claims that “The era of US dominance in economic warfare is over”, adding in the sub-head:
America has long used sanctions to coerce adversaries, but Iran and China can wield powerful economic weapons too
All this aligns with what I wrote in January…
It’s been a predictable for a long while, but 2026 may be the year the USA officially becomes “the bad guy”, a paper dragon for our globalist heroes to slay.
That’s exactly where we find ourselves.
Trump and his administration have gleefully embraced almost cartoonish villainy, culminating in his brash, childish threat to “end a civilization” tonight.
Meanwhile, other nations are being extremely patient and grown-up. The USA’s formerly staunch NATO allies are rejecting calls for aid and even refusing the use of bases or airspace.
There is widespread talk of “the end of uni-polar moment” and the rise of the multipolar “new world order”.
We’ve got to the point that even US-based outlets are touting pro-China talking points.
The Hill reports that “China is topping the US in global approval ratings”, which – as with all such polling – is largely meaningless…excepting the fact that a Western source is somewhat gleefully reporting it.
Setting us up for the final prediction of my article…
“The old (imaginary) “rules-based international order” will collapse, and we will build back better.”
What this means moving forward, if the US will really be abandoned by its former allies, and what the “new world order” being promised in some surprising quarters would look like are questions worth in-depth examination and discussion. There is a GLUT of reading material on this subject, with more emerging every day.
For now, I just wanted to point out the messaging and highlight another “we told you so” for OffG. It’s getting to be quite a trend.
Oh and one more thing – if the US does finally sink below the waves the empire will not go down with it. It will just change its name and move house. Of that we can be reasonably certain.

The South China Morning Post is a Hong Kong newspaper that’s been published continuously for well over 100 years. Hong Kong is now part of China but still retains a lot of British cultural influence (imperialist it might have been but British influence wasn’t all bad) so from this westerner’s perspective its one of the best news sources for a Chinese perspective, certianly compared to Bejing based English language publications.
The observation that this war might just be the US-Israel axis’s Suez Canal moment seems about right but unlike then where there was another power ready to take over — basically France and England’s imperial influence was finally transferred to the US and its local proxy, Israel. (These days it seems that the tail is definitely wagging the dog.)

“This is not normal for America. Columbus, OH — A new bill proposed by the Ohio State Legislature would make it impossible for students to voice their grievances about the government in class. If passed, the bill, which is expected to pass swiftly, would require professors to punish students who mention anything negative about the state or federal government. If students have any sort of grievance about the government, they are expected to keep to themselves and to vent about their thoughts away from academic buildings. The bill also states that those who choose to ignore the law or fail to report the
“disruptions” will face suspension or expulsion from the university properties, as well as possible jail time. An anonymous republican congress member stated in an interview, “This is the next step towards the freedom of our students”.”
The war isn’t the only thing going on:

I suspect it might be a little easier because the war has emptied the AI coffers, or something like that. Soon we’re all going to need a PhD in Electronical Engineering just to talk about everything that matters.
Terrific post, Edwige. I especially like that they tell you how to fight back.
“Americans paid $400 to $500 billion for fiber internet that was never built.”
Why did you Americas do that?
The films and The Simpsons tell a different story.
I wouldnt listen to normal media if I was you.
They lie.
Same with your LapTop. Only trust your Digital comput, Digital ID, Digital wallet.. Nothing else matters.
I heard that the “war” was mainly us and Iran army operating as proxy demolition/ construction contractors to help make way for the next NWO but who knows
Great article OG
Truly Everyone is now ” end of the US empire-ing” but the regime will reappear, China(?) and it will be pleasant to see Australian media “pivot” to “our shared values” with China or whoever.
The 2026 Bilderberg attendees list leaked.
Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal): “Not a conspiracy theory A conspiracy fact” | nitter.poast.org
The mere fact it’s “leaked” gives it a performative quality. As does the name Max Blumental who is a limited hangout establishment agent from an insider family.
limited hangout establishment that was created in a garage or created due to censorship from a certain comment board.
darline and cat.
I always thought Max’x info was fairly good now you have me wondering..hhmm.
Highly suspicious (unless my eyes deceive me) that none of the big banking family names are on there and no mention of any of the main players at the major asset managers (BlackRock, Vanguard et al) – I suspect there’s a list more confidential than this one for the even bigger fish than those listed.. perhaps this suggests that the leak is intentional to give impression this is the full list…
You could be right.
The English navy – is in a worse state than Scottish ferries, and that’s saying something.
“HMS Dragon, which was absolutely not hit by a Hezbollah missile, returns to port for repairs due to ‘problems with drinking water”.
In the competition for worst navy vessel, UK loses to US which sent an aircraft carrier to a port for some vague re-do (that the free press won’t spell out) though no enemy missile hit it. The problems vaguely admitted are (a) a fire (b) trouble with toilet plumbing. About a year ago, another carrier was also officially not damaged by Yemen Houthi attacks.
When the MoD built an aircraft carrier in England – they had no jets to put on it, so they made one out of paper mache, and sat it on the fkight deck, and then old queen Lizzie launched it.
Sorry, UK loses in that too. The latest F-35s being delivered to the “greatest fighting force” have no radar in the nose cone due to lack of rare earths; instead, the nose has weights installed to balance the plane.
“HMS Dragon,
such an interesting name.
I think its has something to do with Wales.
USA will really be abandoned by its former allies??
is what you said about isntreal not long ago.
The covid ceasefire script is in full effect with 2 weeks.
As long as there are money to collect, not one single person will abandon US.

It’s important to remember that straregy for attacking Iran has been in place for almost 2 decades, long before The Red Buffon came on the scene, The Road to Persia, compilled by the Rand think tank, fuhded by : the Rockfellers, Raytheon, Boeing, Grunthorp plus a myriad of other US coporations. Moreover, the same plan is place for Russia and China.
You’re reaching back 25 years with this plan.It’s at least ten years since it was any viable strategy, and only a few old neocons in Washington still put faith in it.
The rise of Russia put paid to it around about 2014 when the US accidentally almost started a nuclear ww3 with their stupid post-Maidan initiative to seize Sevastopol, Russia’s only warm water port.
I was still in military service at that time and let me tell you it was a very hairy few days in late Feb – early March that year, when Russia was signaling “do NOT try to take Sevastopol or we will have to retaliate”, and no one in Washington (or initially the EU) was listening.
Putin’s statesmanship saved the world then, but ironically he will never be credited for the best thing he ever did, even while he is heaped with other credit he doesn’t really deserve.
But anyhow, it was after this near miss that the old money international politicos realized they couldn’t give the crazy old neocons free rein any more or they might all end up getting killed.
That was when they dusted off the old multipolar federation scheme the Rockefellers and others had been toying with for decades, and decided to start lobbying for it hard.
There was some resistance to it in Europe and America, but Russia embraced it as the inly viable alternative to being threatened in perpetuity, and China was already a longterm old money project.
Covid was supposed to be the catalyzing even that allowed them to introduce the new world order, all of a piece, but it was only a partial success. This current nonsense is the second attempt, and much more likely to succeed as things stand.
So, TLDR – don’t waste your time rehashing old plans for dominion that no longer have any real world relevance. The US is being euthanised as we watch. In five – ten years it will be a third world hell hole. The empire is re-shaping itself behind a mask of “anti-empire”. We need to ready ourselves to resist what’s coming.
” You’re reaching back 25 years…”
Unfortunately, you fall at the first hurdle with your thesis since the paper, Path to Persia was written in 2009 and Extending Russia was written in 2018.
Next time, read the papers before putting pinky to keyboard!
You need to quote the entire sentence, which you inexplicably cherry picked. Let me remind you of what you omitted –
Yes, there are old neocons in Washington pumping out stuff like that to this day, but it’s “at least ten years” since anyone took them seriously.
Like you they’ve been left behind by history to chew over strategies that now exist only on paper
I see you are employing the MSM tactic of a misleading opening sentence.
Nevertheless, if you bother to study the, Which Path to Persia document, you read for yourself the step by step strategy which the Corporate/ Banking Cabal that both funds these ‘ think tanks ‘ and controls the US/ Western world follows in its hegemonic interests.
Eg Chapter 5, P89 leave it to Bibi/ Netanyahu.
I suggest you read it in its entirety before commenting further !

I cant believe it, and what do I do then when I dont believe in this single story. I look at the Author thelpndoneconomicforum.
Ehhh I would be careful to take anything serious from a London shit out. But,- its just me.
It’s being reported elsewhere too. Bitcoin is now the official currency of El Salvador. I don’t know whether that’s good or bad, but it’s interesting.
Realmente. They say its a way to jump off the petrofiatdollar. But in third world it is still only a few (the rich) who benefit.
Back to Iran. I heard too they demanded Yuan, but then Bitcoin could be an alternative for those who dont own Yuan. (like el salvador dollar + bitcoin).

The biggest crypto exchanges did sponsor Trump’s inauguration.
During the 60’s USA was hated then they brought in Kennedy and fake killed him.
This whole “the West is evil” narrative is nothing new, and this fake ending of the old empire is your lot’s regurgitation of old news, rehashed and given a fake right-leaning twist.
The only people who believed good olde USA is amazing is either watchers of films or WWE, or the deluded sport fans.
During the black reign, the USA was hated for the overthrow of Libya , even Hillery Clinton’s famous viral quote about Qaddafi in 2011:
“Yes, we came , we saw, he died .” which helped bring in someone different like Trump who was anti war, anti big pharma. anti M.I.C. with his Make America Great Again mantra claiming USA would no longer be the worlds police force.
I been about 60 years and never ever seen America liked.
The US didn’t need to be liked by the 99%. It was the home of the empire, the media and political class fawned on it. Nothing else required
UK is the home.
USA is the entertainment section for the world.
The systems capture into which humanity is being en-tranced, lockstepped or locked down by is very extensively documented by
https://escapekey.substack.com/
Managed ‘evolution’ or ‘social engineering’ is a forced world order, but the principality of such force is the system or systems themselves – which are converging to a blockchain in Plato’s Noble Lie of a cave.
The ‘rails’ on which we think and see and frame our responses, are not reality itself, but interpretive filters and rules that operate as internalised beliefs and definitions experienced or be-lived as self-evident or practically unquestionable. These are also the means to ‘fix down or solidify’ a framework for experience of physical continuity as the structure of a limiting focus as the persistence or survival of the ‘physical’ consciousness – which is in truth an attunement within a greater spectrum and not as concrete a thing as our thing-king is predicated on.
The unfolding of Consciousness will not conform to the best laid plans or intentions of the best thinking available at that level of consciousness – and yet such development does inevitably drive a process of crises that reach a tipping point to the fundamental questioning of our current predicates. That is to an opening or expansion of the receptive – despite and because of the contraction or compression experience —in which conflicts can no longer be overmasked, escaped or ‘scaped to Others, Elsewhere or Elsewhen.
Contraction is a death process – but compression is a spiritual refinement.
In this sense we are choosing to side with the living or the dead no matter how we might be dramatising or framing a narrative sense of self and world.
Structure based identity does not recognise the living, but sacrifices it for the predictive control of a structure bound self – that therefore does not know what it does – even as it runs wilfully under its own acquired and inherited convictions.
Sensing the Field of a greater Life cannot be brought into structure – but that the light is subverted and sacrificed to predictive (and pre-emptive) controls. But it can and does shift our perception to an expanded vision of greater potentials than any closed system – that operate beyond the ‘linear frame’ of cause and effect or action and reaction —that is of a movement as a whole – not a partiality.
Self-Illusions are temporary by definition, but look at the devices and defences by which they appear so real – and yet the more we grasp – or hedge resource against risk, the more we give reality to masking ‘solutions’ that go forth and multiply a contagion of fear as the ‘social order’.
The opportunity to see with new eyes is not the power to dictate other’s learning experience. But does release locked-down habits to the freedom of choosing to persist in them. Or to reach beyond them. Addiction to problems will persist its habits – even if changing the furniture around or redistributing control/sacrifice to new arenas of ‘solution’.
Apparently an unnamed source from the Tasnim News Agency – has said that Iran will exit the ceasefire agreement, if Israel doesn’t stop bombing/attacking Lebanon.
Well of course, the predictably and pointlessly evil Israel must be seen to crush the budding flower of peace. That is just inevitable now.
We’ll see but the question is, as Kit alludes to – if it’s the end of empire, why are they making it so obvious? The frontman usually withdraws somewhat from view at the end of empire. Also, do collapsing empires step back from the brink as the US seems to have done in Iran (at least for two weeks)?
And slightly off topic but interesting in the Mail – shades of Apollo, perhaps:
Mystery surrounds death of NINTH scientist tied to US top secret programs
because making it obvious is the whole point! As Kit says, the empire isn’t actually ending, it’s just relocating and giving itself a facelift, and part of that process involves divesting itself of all its past evils. This way America becomes the sole guilty party and is left to sink while all its erstwhile functionaries and controllers jump ship. They get cleansed of all their sins and can start afresh in a new skin.
The multipolar world is intended to be a global empire hiding behind a facade of regional autonomy. This exciting new system benefits the entire ruling establishment across all national boundaries and is therefore being embraced by them eagerly.
I suppose we have to consider that Blackrock, State Street, Vanguard, Amazon, Google, AI creators/facilitators, Wall St, DOJ, FBI, CIA et al, are in fact NOT America because I do not see the downfall of them. Ever.
I guess the downfall of America would be lil ol’ us.,
-Boss Twump Tweets the World in Twain, Stablecoins Put It Together Again-
The sky is falling!
You may have noticed that the actor currently starring in the role of President of the United States, let’s call him “Boss Twump” (in honor of an earlier amoral Manhattan dealmaker, Boss Tweed), seems to be leading us into some sort of dramatic crescendo.
“Progressive” publications assure us that he can be officially diagnosed as a psychopath according to the (impressively official sounding) “Hare Scale” (https://scheerpost.com/2026/04/07/trump-and-netanyahu-two-madmen-playing-god/). Predictably, said “progressive” publications are increasingly moist with anticipation of the agreed upon biannual battle between Tweedledee and Tweedledum in the U.S. this summer and promising us that the future depends upon the dastardly Tweedledum’s defeat.
The notion that Boss Twump is not an actor but rather an unhinged, loose cannon is so naive I find it difficult to even respond to. The idea that the President of the United States is actually in charge and that what is happening now is simply the product of his deranged whims is about as plausible as belief in the Easter Bunny. Boss Twump, like the Biden Bot and Mr. Change We Can Believe In before him, is reading from a script that has been handed to him by his Oligarch masters. Do the people who hold to such views really think that the Deep State (in the Peter Dale Scott sense rather than the more recent bastardization of that term) is simply throwing up their hands and saying “aww, shucks, he’s crazy, but he’s the boss, nothing we can do about it until the next election cycle”? Obviously not, Boss Twump is doing their bidding, and the “they” in this case is the global oligarchic ruling class.
Boss Twump’s role is to tweet the world in twain. The Boss Twump character is scripted to flail angrily about, shocking those who aren’t yet numb, shattering any remaining illusions of a “rules based order”, and, ultimately, presiding over a controlled demolition of the Petro-Dollar system.
Boss Twump has been cast in this provocative role by the global oligarchy who have funded and stage managed this latest spectacle in order to move the U.S. (and, perhaps, the majority of the world) into a new economic paradigm. The new system that we are being corralled into by the latest manufactured emergency is the privately issued, U.S. treasury backed (read: U.S. Debt backed), tokenized, distributed ledger (i.e. blockchain) framework currently being branded as “stablecoins”. It will be the engineered economic crisis from this “war” and perhaps a series of further Machiavellian machinations (such as possible false flags or catastrophically enhanced weather events) that will push us into this new economic framework.
For more cogent and learned analyses in accord with what I’ve outlined above see here: https://fabiovighi.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips.
However this system will ultimately go beyond money as we presently understand it. The system we are being corralled into will involve the “tokenization” and, thus, commodification of the entire biosphere. Our behavior, our health, the weather, plants, animals, and microbia will be monitored in realtime, “securitized”, and bet on in global markets that will resemble a scaled up version of the “impact finance”, “pay for success”, and “human capital” markets (they frequently change the branding) that researcher Alison McDowel focused on for many years (see here for the 101 course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzrFAHwrhVc). This will, no doubt, be sold to as a way to manage global chaos (which will, of course, have been artificially manufactured) and we will willingly accept it as the only option.
Or maybe I’m wrong…
P.S.: This website should stop using “generative A.I.” images because…they suck. Are you unaware of that?

I know some believe the decline of US hegemony is a planned operation. I lean toward it being a natural shift in power dynamics as China has grown stronger and the Global South aligns under that strength – and the narrative of the planned decline of the US is a managed one to continue to give the impression of agency and control to a weakening empire.
Whatever your position on it, the link above is worth a check.
Some strong points made there by the downvoters…
The so called rescue mission of the downed F-15 military jet pilot, with two C-130’s and a bunch of Back Hawk helicopters which were all destroyed was a ruse, the rescued pilot was rescued 200 Km away from the site of the burned out military planes, their job was to sneak in and take the uranium – whilst everyone was occupied searching for the downed pilot, but it didn’t quite go to plan
It’s all been great cover for the continued expansion of Israel along that coastal corridor into Lebanon, joining up with captured Syria. Despite the ‘ceasefire’ Israel continue to level Lebanon and move in.
Greater isntREAL project is off topic.
This is why OG is my first port of call when I can sense a new Big Lie being generated. You guys are so rarely off the ball or distracted by the bells and whistles. You were way out ahead on covid and you’ve been way out ahead on this creepy multipolar op too. What you were saying three years ago seemed out there, but it’s getting pretty much confirmed every day now.

The UN has voted to move its September sessions from NY to Geneva, due to the banning of Palestinians attending by the US Admin.
Im hoping the UN moves its HQ to Geneva on a permanent basis.
More evidence for the migration of the power centre away from the US! I don’t understand how anyone could not see by now it’s all pre-planned since st least covid.
The UN’s HQ should never have been in NY to start with, the US holds far too much sway with the UN.
US is/was paying. When you are paying the big bill, you have certain privileges.
We, EU taxpayers, are now going to pay for UN’s extravagant expensives, luxury hotels and marathon meetings about nothing.
Yes the US was paying big fee’s to the UN, but it was also getting preferential treatment for paying those big fee’s, they even had a UNSG removed in, Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Geneva is not in USA. Geneva, the “Peace Capital” of Switzerland, is a major global hub for diplomacy and banking, hosting the UN and Red Cross.
The UN’s headquarters have been in NYC since it was founded. Moving to Geneva would be a big political statement. You really don’t know much do you.

How I see it is Blair is being used like Trump and Israel, as a predictable hate-figure to direct the Left in the desired direction. He demonises everything he associates with and ends up pushing people in the opposite direction. I think he knows that’s his role these days.
I don’t hate him, or anyone for that matter.
tRump and his ilk are just disgusting forms of humanity, to be mocked, pitied and belittled as much as possible.
Dammit !! Just when PEACE was about to break-out all over, a new “covid variant*” is

When it comes to social justice, wage justice, fair education and health systems, efficient public infrastructure and a happy and well informed populace, USia started collapsing back in the sixties. It’s been all downhill since.
UK newspapers this morning: headlines about Trump ending civilsation, pictures from Artemis II (which look very like the start of ‘2001’ btw).
Message: politicians (especially populists like Trump) = doom; Scientism/Technocracy = hope. Humanity can be resurrected this Easter!
You can see the stars in the eclipse shots. And so the argument that they can’t fake stars is just ignorant.
There’s a two-weeks ceasefire between Iran, the US and Israel, Iran will open the straits, but charge a toll for every tanker/ship passing through it, Oman will share in the tolls, the toll per ship especially oil tankers could be $2 million dollars per tanker.
The ceasefire includes the lifting of ALL sanctions on Iran by the US right back to the Bush era.
Source : NYT.
Lebanon is also part of the ceasefire, as requested by Iran.
The ceasefire for two-weeks – to see if it can be extended, and negotiations will take place from the 10th of April in Islamabad to see if that’s possible.
Re my above comment – Iran’s Supreme Council has released this statement whether or not its all true, is another thing.
“‘The United States has accepted a humiliating defeat and agreed to all of Iran’s ceasefire conditions:
1. Commitment to non-aggression.
2. Continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz.
3. Acceptance of uranium enrichment.
4. Lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions.
5. Termination of all resolutions of the UN Security Council and the IEAE Board of Governors.
6. Payments of compensation for Iran.
7. Withdrawal of American combat forces from the region.
8. Cessation of war on all fronts.”
Impressing. But, all the other Israhell Peacefires have been broken by bombs and killings just 1 minute after the ink was dry. Try again mister.

Lots of talk recently as well about the death of NATO. Is this more than a ruse to get Western Europe to throw away more money on weaponry? Two other purposes it might serve are to focus the blame for Iran on Trump and, in making everyone contemplate a world without NATO, it’s supposed to make us all conclude how much we love it really. Expect the next Democrat president to come in and miraculously revive NATO. If not, then a world of technates truly is the imminent agenda.
US Vice President JD Vance says that Washington has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” on Iran. Speaking during a visit to Hungary, where he is supporting Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s re-election,
Vance says that US President Donald Trump “will decide to use them if the Iranians don’t change their course of conduct.”
For the Nuke believers , of which you are one, this is the first time we have had a double serious threat.
In my lifetime, I have never seen this type of Nuke threat rhetoric used.
I believe that US should use nukes to make peace. I mean, we dont have a large reserves of 3000 nukes just for fun have we? We have them to defend America!
When America is threatened by lack of gasoline to our Harley Davidson and Easy Rider movies, we go berserk!
Lots in the comment section disagree, the allowed comments that is as many would of got pended needing approval.
My coffee spit moment from the article above was…
Using Owen Jones as a source of your wild theory, the same Owen Jones you laughed at for 10 years, is something even the silliest of MAM alternate-media would never do.
I saw someone else saying what you’re saying further down the thread and I thought “are you being deliberately dense?” I was going to reply but I saw a couple of people had already put him straight.
Seriously how do you manage to not get the point? Kit Knightly’s previous article was predicting what the MSM would be saying this year, not real events. He predicted the Groaniad et al would start saying the US were bad guys and their hegemony needed to end or soon would end – and lo and behold they did start saying that.
You’d be naive to assume this literally means the powers behind the US empire are going to be defeated. Of course they won’t be. And Kit makes that clear too when he says “the empire won’t go down even if the US does” or words to that effect.
Real question is why is so much of the West, including some US politicians now pivoting away from and calling out the US military hegemony? What’s the endgame? Not a more just world for sure
I stil looking for evidence on this?
Evidence is in the article.OG predicted there would be people in the mainstream calling for the “end of US hegemony”, and this article shows this is actually happening.
“end of US hegemony”
every time they go to war.
Seeing how the above is using a couple of MSM Guardian / Daily Fail articles to justify its long-shot theory,
And using Owen Jones as a source of your wild theory, the same Owen Jones you laughed at for 10 years, is something even the wokist of MAM alternate-media would never do.
Wouldn’t that surely mean the end of the petrodollar?
Last I looked, petrol was up, gas was up, oil was up, food was up,
end of the year 5 million USA jobs will now be automated via Palantir.
The internet is full of U.S. hegemony msm / MAM media!

Are the Mad Mullahs of Iran as trusting as Charlie brown – and as gullible ? Every time Charlie went to kick the ball he landed on his back because Lucy whipped the football away. Twice Iran has copped a sneak attack the moment they sat down to have talks – and they’re going to enter talks again ! Time to start calling them “Charlies” ?
It only means pre-planned theater. Nothing happens in politics unless it is pre-planned down in the tiniest detail.
OG on X this morning
‘Away from the rhetoric from Team #USA & Team #Iran about who is “winning”, let’s remember this #Ceasefire will only hold if the controllers of the narrative think they have moved the ball far enough down the field for now.
At best it’s a pause in the relentless march toward the “multipolar” panopticon.’
BREAKING — 2 WEEK CEASEFIRE.
US says it’s for negotiations. Iran says US has agreed to its 10 points.
The usual confusion.
—-aljazeera
some commentary here:
It’s reported Iran’s agreed to open the Strait.
Just like the Ceasefire in Gaza ? Just like the Ceasefire in Lebanon ?
A ceasefire that Israhell understands as permission to bomb, bomb, bomb ?
If ‘Ceasefire’ was the name of a champion racehorse i might bet on it winning – but i’d check the jockey wasnt from The Only Democracy In The ME first…
President trump is gonna negotiate with Iran on the basis of Iran’s 10-point
non-negotiable list** ? I just cant keep up with his twisted logic…
** Iran had already agreed to surrender its enriched uranium the day before
the USrael sneak attack on 28 February. Subsequently. forcing Iran to give
up its enriched uranium was one of Trump’s justifications for the War…
https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/from-dire-straits-to-done-deal-triumphant
All are winners. Iran and Trump got what they came for.
Israel also got happy as they were allowed to blow the negotiating team to pieces again.
Yeah, well, we’re being told a lot of rot– like, Trump didn’t know about THAT 10-point list. I think it had been published about 4 days earlier AND it was part of PM of Pakistan’s announcement. Trump, at the time. said “It’s a viable framework for negotiation.”
It just happens to have included explicit mention of Lebanon, too– but now Lebanon isn’t included.
Conclusion: Maybe US wanted the ceasefire to prepare for another failed operation, like the “pilot rescue” charade.
Language of the agreement from Trump’s side here. Also Iran’s conditions. Also the UN resolution. Nevertheless, since it is now the 8th in the Gulf area, and expiration of the ultimatum, there are reports of sirens everywhere. However, these may be only cautionary. Please listen. Factual & detailed.
Even mentions of crimes agst humanity & calls for his removal.
Flatten the curve
OK, so now can we get back to the Epstein Files ? Scandals are the spice of life after all.
Wishful thinking: called too early.
Trump is not yet finished: now this US deficit should press US interests up, the hubris increases inflation and thus US bond rates up too. The petro dollar will stay till there is a real alternative.
See the link. Be informed before you make a conclusion:
Back to surgeries of small kids for gender changes and new Party Islands.
The ultra Liberals will secure peace.
The petrodollar was being abandoned before this phony crisis was created to speed the process on
CBDC and Digital ID/Wallet is the only solution = Peace in our Times!
Things wont return to the way they were…
The Post-Iran War Rationing wont just affect food and petrol. There Will Have To Be
sacrifices ! Medical care will be deeply affected. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) notices will
become commonplace on the hospital beds of the elderly and chronically sick – for
starters. Voluntary Euthanasia for the ‘mentally ill’ will become mandatory. Life-
support services for ‘defective’ newborns and infants, will be denied.. The ship is going
down and only those who can man an oar will be get a spot on the lifeboats…
And it will all be carried out Scientifically…
The Escapekey post included by Dr John is revealing for why it is believable that Israhell
is carrying out false-flag bombings against America’s vassal Arab states:
https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/emergency-brakes
The colonised Gulf states bleeding protection money have been vague on who attacked each non-military infrastructure. The sources of news are so subverted and coordinated that I suspect any report in which Iran acknowledged such attacks.
“It will just change its name and move house.”
Meaning, Dems will merely replace the strange attractor, Mad Emperor, with their more polite implementation, sanctions and covert empire? That scenario, musical-chairs bad cop-good cop, has been in operation non-stop since Vietnam. The US has 800+ military bases voluntarily housed by countries all over the world, enabling, foreign-elite-consenting, world empire for the US. The petrodollar must lose viability for the US Bankster-Financier set to lose grasp of domestic and world authority. Unfortunately, the rest of the world’s elite are just as evil, playing position to see what happens so they can grab their own chunk of the authority pie. Until the world’s 99% realize they have the authority, through direct action, to remove minority elite leadership (ruler-ship) everywhere, we will continue to be a LOCKDOWN audience to incremental genocide.
This event is so obviously one big globe-wide orchestration I don’t see how anyone can see it as anything else. All the mainstream suddenly exposing US crimes, EU refusing to help keep Hormuz open, Spanish politician calling US terrorists.
The ones who write the scripts have said to US “you must play the bad guy now”, so they put Trump there to be a big clown villain. So the empire is transformed to multipolar and the same people who write the scripts for all the big events are still in charge.
Anyone thinking multipolar will be free world is going to get a very big surprise.
ChilePepper, you’re right that multipolar doesn’t mean free. And you’re right that it’s not really, or primarily US/Israel vs Iran.
The best analysis I’ve seen is here:

Who Really Controls the Money Simon Dixon & Peter McCormack
Simon Dixon has other videos. So does Peter McCormack.
I’m not seeing any USA fall. Odd article. The world is still dollar based. In the last few months they’ve taken Venezuela in all but name. Cuba strangled. Iran deal incoming. Vast Oil resources, and more, nicely consolidated under US power. I think OffG has lost the plot.
Happy to be proven wrong just as soon as the US actually loses any power. Waiting…
Why? Perhaps you only saw the headline? And you did not read this bit?
It is talking about what the legacy press has been saying. It does not say it is actually true.
Observe, if you can get your head around it, the way US will lose/ is losing hegemony is implicit in this Simon Dixon video. US is to end up controlling Greenland, Cuba, Canada under one thread of the negotiation and everything down to the Panama Canal as Greater North America.
This video explains why US exported its industry to China in the first place.
Remember that the billionaires who planned this in the first place have no loyalty to any Nation. The various factions involved across what Simon thinks is a 5-year negotiation makes it so complicated that I’m still learning to hold it in my mind.
Do let me know what you think; I think Simon must be largely correct, but I can’t claim to have fully mastered it.
You persist in promoting bitcoin adjacent content and creators with direct investment interests. Not interested thanks.
I try never to exclude information, even if I disagree with other conclusions that the person holds. I am NOT promoting bitcoin; I know nil about bitcoin.
To exclude the only indepth analysis of the actual controllers behind our political “leaders” cuz you don’t like their conclusions about bitcoin! C’mon, Man. I thought you were a Brain.
Yes, the US is being scripted as the bad guy (not that it isn’t, of course). It’s interesting that Iran is also profiting from this war with oil spiking. It’s also interesting that COVID normalized remote work (probably due to Peak Oil) and the Iran war may lead to energy lockdowns.
https://ourfiniteworld.com/2026/04/02/losing-the-iran-war-may-be-the-best-outcome-for-the-world/
I used to think Peak Oil was the motive for the Great Reset but now think PO is real but the PTB don’t ultimately care- and are simply managing it- because they know a cyclic cataclysm is imminent.
Peak Oil’s not real; I’ve posted long lists of oil & gas finds w expert opinion about their size. I think I’ve posted it twice, and so don’t want to do it again. William Engdahl, the historian and author has a specialty in petrochemicals. If you search “William Engdahl and Peak Oil” I’m sure you’ll come up with some factual info on the subject.
“of a finite Earth”. This is only a zero sum view from our ‘finite’ perspective, not from the earth itself.
Think about an apple tree. How the tree start from a seed and grow bigger and bigger, and produce more and more apples, and bring new seeds to the surround soil and if allowed, becomes an unlimited resource of apples.
From our perspective, a limited resource of apples, depending on our own work and attention. But from the apple seeds perspective is eternal and infinite.
We are supposed to sing “ding dong the witch is dead”, and think multipolar = liberation. But it does not.
It’s taken ten thousand years but maybe, just maybe, wars have become passe.
Unlikely given that the Universe has at most 6235 years worth of existence (provable)
I think perhaps wars have become passè but not “wars” if you get what I mean.
America has fallen!!!!!. Thats the narrative. Remember that is the narrative. China is being strangled economically as we speak. USD is rising. Us refinaries are working like gang busters. Us has no shortages of fertilizer. Inflation iss not as bad as the rest of western economies .Intellectual honesty and economic analysis will demonstrate thatEurope is over a cliff. The three eyes England New Zealand and Australia are sinking at the above order.So Us hegemony is dying , not to sure about that. One thing is for sure we are entering into an economic disaster that will make the 30s depression look tame. Remember China has been living on subsidized and cheap fuel from Iran and Russia at 45USD abarrel . Hormuz and ther malacca straits are being choked around China. Iran war is asymmetrical.
POST SCRIPTUM;Its all narrative. People in Asia are still going along with their lives. The real effects are in the west jiust like COVID 19 pssy-op. The only way to get there 2030 agenda is to kill the dollar.
DOCIUS IN FONDO; Hence could this be the death nail of the USD> Analyst stated that beware of the rising dollar could be the sign of dollar collapse. Or is it the split btween US old money and London and Rome. Deep analysis shows the later. the war is being played out between Old America and the European old money. China is a European bankers construct. Hence its not real , common anything made in china tends to be cheap amnd nasty consumer obsolescence.
Keep an eye on the value of USD in the next year or so once it starts to drop than the end of USD is on its way.Its multi layered . We the proles are just out of the loop. Iran is not winning. Destruction of fuel supplies and chain supplies are effecting everybody but america.
\Caveat its only my humble oppinion. Kit gets things rite most of the times this one is alittle tilted to the London dominated outcome. Multipolarity is a narrtive what is missing is TPBare playing us proles and end stage capitalism is being exposed in full. Monopolies end badly.
Good onya Kit, now, can you please give me the winning Lotto numbers for next Saturday.🤔😖😆
I dunno ! The US can send a rocketship to the moon and back, but canr defeat a Third World country. I’m beginning to believe the US putting men on the moon decades ago was as phoney as the covid pandemic
Except the point is the US has been scripted to lose to facilitate the shift to “multipolarity”, ie a continuation of the empire but framed as a global federation. It’s a big performance being acted out to fool us plebs into thinking we’re entering a better world. In reality if “they” get their way, it will be much much worse.
Its all about the money, the oil that feed the economy, the machines, the global debt, the MIC, and reset on an overall scheme.
Yes it is planned and deal’ed between the top elite.
They were real men in those days. No need for namby-pamby fly-bys.
Just land on the moon like any real test pilot does. At least those made of the ‘real stuff’
“…beginning to think..” Aye.
Oil price plunges 14% after Trump’s two weeks ceasefire announcement. Suspicious? Insider trading,anyone??
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/07/oil-prices-iran-war-trump-deadline-strait-hormuz.html
NB The percentage may vary as the article is updated…
Trump’s friends (puppeteers) have made a lot of money in a month.
Me too. Gold jumped 10% over a week……. 😋 .
Who will make “America Has Fallen” – the movie ? Not Hollywood, as it will go (is already on its way) down the gurgler with the rest of America. Will it be China, Russia, or maybe Iran. I hope it’s not India.as there’s too much dancing in Bollywood movies which make me think they were made by Israhell.
Fallen from what? Falling assumes some kind of elevated position to begin with
Fallen in love with itself , following Trump’s lead ?
Fallen from power
“America Has Fallen”
London has fallen
European has fallen
is woke right talking points.
London Has Fallen (2016) is part of a trilogy known as the Has Fallen series, acting as the second installment between Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and Angel Has Fallen (2019). Starring Gerard Butler as Mike Banning, the action franchise follows his efforts to protect top officials from terrorist threats
K.N.K. Kit ‘Nostradamus’ Knightly ?
Well, seeing’s how the Off Guardian is, interestingly, using a couple Guardian articles to justify its thesis, I’ll just throw this one in:
The Iran War Is Making the American Economy More Dominant Than Ever – WSJ
I don’t have a subscription, of course, so I can’t quote it, but I’ve seen a number of other references to that, including from the Telegraph I think.
Reminds me of an old quote attributed to Mark Twain “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated”. We’ll see. If you haven’t noticed, everybody is fucked up but the US still has the most guns.
Did you skip the last line –
“Oh and one more thing – if the US does finally sink below the waves the empire will not go down with it. It will just change its name and move house.”
And to quote OffG on X
“The empire has been here for centuries.
It’s a parasite that takes up residence in a host nation & exploits that nation’s resources & military power until either they’re exhausted or a better host presents itself.
At that point it abandons the old host nation & moves on.
The abandoned host is blamed by history for all of the empire’s crimes, while the empire itself, with a new face & a new name, takes up residence somewhere else & carries on as before.
This house-move is almost always defined as “progress” or “liberation” by the empire’s stenographers.”
Sorry to interrupt the groupthink, just stating my opinion. Of course, I am an American, so that’s probably why. Not that I believe all that bullshit anyway,
Apologies, but what is the opinion you are stating? That the mainstream have not said the words Kit quotes from them? Because this is all that he is talking about. He is not saying “hooray US hegemony is over”, he is showing the mainstream is saying it.
I’m stating the opinion that the era of US hegemony may not be as soon as some think, i.e., this year. Is that OK with you? I mean, we should have differing opinions, right, that’s no fun. I could be wrong and just in case, I’m prepping like a madman here in the forests of Washington State. And it seems to me that the author stated that he “nailed it” stating this is the year US hegemony ends, then posts two links from the Guardian to show how the oligarchy media agrees with him to prove his point that he “nailed it”. I find it that interesting, that’s all. Like I find how the Maga cult now supports war is interesting.
No I don’t think so. He predicted the mainstream media would announce the end of US hegemony as a preparation for “multipolarity”, but as I understand it OG considers “multipolarity” to be the same hegemony with a new name. So, Kit is saying he predicted the mainstream would be announcing the end of US hegemony not that it would happen.
Well then, my bad.
The article linked at the top of the piece makes it clear I think. Declaring an end to US hegemony is a strategy to deflect.
https://off-guardian.org/2026/01/21/2026-the-year-us-hegemony-ends/
The decision to “prep like a madman” should have to nothing to do with regard to US hegemony ending.
It applies equally to anyone living anywhere.
There are 101 reasons as to why this makes sense at some level as an insurance policy. Not least because the European Union and the UK told their citizens to keep 72 hours of emergency supplies at home. Three days is nothing if the SHTF but for them to have said it suggests that something could happen in the future, either planned or organically. There are plenty of scenarios to choose from.
Oh ya, word is Britain is real fucked up. Good luck man. But remember, it’s all fucking fake. Actually, I’ve been a prepper for over 20 years.
Absolutely, Rolling Rock. Food, water, filtration devices, money at home– at least that much.
Dixon says they planned for the US to fall. The plan is for a multipolar world.
That’s the FIC.
The MIC, on the other hand, wants world domination. And now, having brought Iran to its knees, it looks like they are back in the driver’s seat.
Mate, Kit isn’t using them to “justify” anything, he’s calling attention to the accuracy of his own prediction about what the drainstream media would be saying in 2026.
I mean fair play, he was right.
And I pointed out another “drainstream” media article (Wall Street Journal), and others that are not saying that and not justifying what the author is positing. Just making conversation, playing the devil’s advocate so to speak. Where would we be without the fucking devil’s advocate?
What do you mean “interesting”? What is the implication?
Also, how is the US being painted as both unstoppable because it has so many guns but also as unable to beat a single country that has no navy or planes? These contradictions smell of a psy-op to me.
Multipolarity – the gift that keeps on giving. Trump/USA hss been handed the script of the bogeyman role.
Further evidence of this role comes from the following:
I came across an article in the Daily Fail with the clickbait headline ‘Why British banks fear Trump could use “kill switch” to turn off Visa and Mastercard’. The rationale was that the Tango Man (TM) was upset with NATO allies over the ‘war’ in Iran.
I then noticed a similar article in the Grauniad, pre-Iran ‘war’, from February 2026 but the rationale then was that the TM was upset over NATO allies regarding the Greenland theatrical production.
Two articles, two different reasons, but both blaming the TM.
This reminded me off the Ukie war saga when Mastercard and Visa cut off their card payment systems to Russia due to US sanctions. At the time 60% of Russian card transactions passed through these two giants. The UK currently has 95% of its card transactions (very little cash use) handled by the two.
Russia got around this using its own national card payment system called Mir owned by the Central Bank of Russia and has been developing it further. Multipolarity in action.
Next, more multipolarity in action but this time from the once considered unipolar ‘side’:
Sixteen major EU banks and payments processors launched their own card payments system called Wero.
https://www.luxtimes.lu/europeanunion/europe-s-banks-launch-wero-payments-to-dislodge-visa-mastercard/21097087.html
Also, according the Grauniad article from Feb 2026:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/feb/16/uk-bank-bosses-plan-visa-mastercard-alternative
So what is Britain’s plan?
Similar to that in the E.U – a home grown card payments system. The UK one will be called ‘Delivery Company’ or DeliveryCo. for short ….sounds like takeway food delivery company, but I digress.
Now this is where it gets interesting. This new payment system was already seeking out expressions of interest in July 2025 and was fleshed out properly by October 2025. That was well before the Tango Man really let rip about Greenland in January of this year.
Digging further I found the following:
https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/2025/july/a-new-approach-to-retail-payments-infrastructure
In amongst the word salad is the key ingredient:
Oh yes, digital currency. While the world has been distracted with non-stop geopolitical chickenfeed, the real work of the Agenda continues in the background.
Adding to the story’s lack of credibility regarding its stated goal (rather than its real one) is that two of the financial backers of the card element (DeliveryCo) of Britain’s soon to be new independent payment ecosystem are …you guesed it… the same Amercian giants – Mastercard and Visa – as the current system.
Again from the Grauniad article:
If that isn’t enough:
Surprise, surprise that date – again.
In summary:
We have the Tango Man, the great ‘disrupter’, playing a role. He is acting as the current catalyst to justify all things multipolar which simply hasten UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.
Multipolarity is no longer just a ‘solution’ to be used against the old unipolar world order where traditional ‘enemies’ and competitive trade blocs create their own ‘independent’ systems – financial, economic, military. It has extended into the realms of those once viewed as united and part of the unipolar world order.
I believe that in order for the controllers plan to sell their digital panopticon world of the future they are and will script more geopolitical tensions using (insert here) whichever scripted bogeyman leader, nation(s), existing supranational organisations or group of vested interests (including the existing establishment/deep state) to justify on the face of it new so-called independent national solutions to the problems that they have manufactured.
However, the ‘solutions’ instead of overt global governance will be more decentralised to appear organic. As public awareness and sentiment pushes back against globalism, the facade of rising nationalism will be used to create the impression that so-called nation states are taking decisions that seem sovereign but in reality are anything but. All the solutions will lead to the same result in all nations – the technocratic digital control grid . Yet, the public will be fooled into thinking that it was to in order to protect national interests against the interests of other world stage players (in reality LARPers) – even those who were once considered friends and allies.
If these crises were genuine and organic, simple probability would indicate that there should be set-backs along the way, yet, it is interesting to note that every ‘crisis’ has a habit of advancing the technocratic agendas.
The unipolar world is splitting as per the script and the USA, with Trump as its figurehead, is the catalyst to hasten the globalists multipolar NWO.
That is by design – it is not chaos, it is Ordo ab Chao.
Well founded analysis.
Or, in a few words, the rich get richer, the poor lose more.
