Iran, Gold, the Dollar, and Separatist Movements by 2032. Martin Armstrong at Cornerstone Forum 2026
Martin Armstrong breaks down why gold isn't surging despite the Iran war, why the conflict will drag on far longer than most expect, how Trump was drawn into it, and what the U.S. dollar's reserve status really means going forward. Plus his take on rising separatist movements toward 2032 — and why Alberta is just the beginning.
Imagine being Iran's leadership right now
You once were the feared boogie man of the Middle East. Instead, you get the complete shit kicked out of you for 5 weeks straight, your entire navy sunk, your supreme leader killed, and you FINALLY shoot down 1 plane
This is finally your moment. You can parade the pilot on TV and use him as negotiating leverage
But instead, Air Force Pararescue puts boots on the ground on your home turf, we basically build a whole patrol base including a Forward Air Refueling Point, kill hundreds of your dudes, something goes wrong with one of the C-130s at the FARP on our way out, we're not even cortisol spiked so we simply just fly in another plane and blow up the old one instead of even bothering to do any maintenance just because of how much money we have that we can simply buy a new plane
Good grief. I haven't seen a beatdown this bad since Will Stancil got molested by Grok. This is honestly embarrassing for the IRGC at this point. That was LITERALLY your home territory where you know all the terrain and have home field advantage, we have never done real boots on the ground operations in Iran before, and you still lost.
Everyone throw up the set right now
Here it is: The Bill and Hillary Clinton Racket-Empire:King Solomon Reporting:
FBI Director Andrew McCabe: “Shut the f**king thing down.”
Attorney General Sally Yates: “Shut the f**king thing down.”
Three separate FBI offices—out of New York, Washington, and Little Rock—all came to the same conclusion: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was running a massive bribery operation with foreign governments through the Clinton Foundation.
@jsolomonReports: “Hillary Clinton ran a pay-to-play scheme that delivered favors from her post as Secretary of State, while foreigners and others paid large sums of money to her family foundation, the Clinton Foundation, run by Bill Clinton and their daughter, eventually Chelsea Clinton.
Three separate agencies, three separate bureaus, offices of the FBI believed they had predicated evidence to pursue that.”
“Four U.S. attorney offices under Barack Obama were asked for help by the agents’ agency: ‘We need a grand jury, we need to get evidence, we want to move the case down the road.’ All three of those four offices told the agents, ‘You’re on your own; we will not assist you in your pursuit of criminal charges against Hillary Clinton.’And then, perhaps the most extraordinary statement in the document: the Deputy Attorney General for Barack Obama, Sally Yates, explicitly told the FBI to ‘shut the f**king thing down,’ ‘shut it down.’
In other words, while Hillary Clinton was selling out America for hundreds of millions of dollars in the shadow of the 2016 election, she was also orchestrating the Russian collusion hoax as a means to overthrow the U.S. government, and Barack Obama was right there every step of the way.
Thanks for the info John, but we all know it is for naught
A senior U.S. military official just called this one of the most complex special operations missions in American history
The details that are emerging are extraordinary. Two transport planes got stuck at a remote base inside Iran after the WSO was recovered. Commanders flew in three replacement aircraft, extracted everyone, and destroyed both disabled planes on the ground to prevent them falling into Iranian hands.
The F-15E went down in a region with significant opposition to the Iranian government. The WSO may have received help from local civilians willing to shelter an American pilot while their own government hunted him. The CIA reportedly facilitates exactly this kind of arrangement through a process called "unconventional assisted recovery," making contact with civilians willing to help vulnerable troops survive.
So the full picture: a pilot ejected, climbed a mountain, was sheltered by locals who risked their lives, evaded for 48 hours while Iran offered bounties, survived a massive firefight at the recovery site, was extracted on aircraft that then got stuck, required three more planes to fly in, and the originals were blown up on exit.
What a story. Source: NYT
Hello, Europeans. The first thing you need to understand about the rant I'm about to utter is that I'm not MAGA, not a Trumpite, but a libertarian who has in the past nevertheless been strongly supportive of US military presence overseas. Because I want the wars that defend this country to be fought in somebody else's country, as far away from me as possible with a nice big ocean in the way.
Also relevant: I have a history of having lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. I was at one time bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been passably fluent in Italian and French as well. I could probably still find my way around London and Rome and central Paris reasonably well. So if you're tempted to tell yourselves that I'm some kind of parochial American hick, abandon that hope.
All that was set-up. So that, when I tell you that almost the entirety of the US electorate, not just Trump supporters, is increasingly fed up with your shit, take me seriously. We've been cleaning up your messes and keeping the sea lanes open since 1917. And that was for you, not us - we, being very close to resource self-sufficient, don't need that investment so much. We've spent enormous amounts of blood and treasure on keeping you safe. We risked nuclear hellfire on our own cities for nearly 50 years to keep Soviet tanks from rolling through the Fulda Gap.
Even since the Cold War ended, we've subsidized your socialist-playpen welfare states and disastrous immigration policies by taking the need to maintain militaries more effective than a sack of wet farts off the table.
Now we've come looking for help keeping a bunch of rabid Islamic fanatics from getting nuclear weapons that are a clear and present danger to all of you even more than they are to us, and what do we hear? "Waah! It's another Republican president we don't like, just like the last half dozen of them! So we're going to sulk in a corner, except when we're biting at your ankles with crap like airspace restrictions."
No. No, we're not going to take this anymore. It's not just conservatives who have had enough, it's moderates and people who used to be strong supporters of liberal internationalism. Our citizen's willingness to pay higher taxes to protect you was upward-bounded by your gratitude. Now that we know your gratitude has effectively gone to zero, so does our willingness.
Don't expect this to change if the Democrats take power here. They are much less liberal-internationalist than Republicans now. While they might make mouth noises that soothe you, their overriding concern is the gaping, insatiable maw of their income transfer programs. They'll sacrifice subsidizing Europe's playpen socialism to feed their domestic version in a heartbeat. And there is no longer any significant Democratic constituency to argue against that.In truth, three decades after the Cold War ended there is no American constituency at all for the massive subsidies you get. It frankly surprises me they lasted this long, that we were this patient with your cowardice and your bitchy whining.
This moment has been a long time coming. It's not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.
