03-10-2026 “Soul Power” and Sole Control
——————-
What bulls need? (Sole power) What bears want? (Sole power) Fed don’t have. (Sole power), What they want? (Sole power)

The legacy puppet masters want to control Iran, but the new multipolar US wants it free of terrorist power and the Persians free to choose. What will a successful Operation Epic Fury signify?

Rates will go down Down down down down.

A multipolar world means many kingdoms. BRICS led by Russia and China with people and AI, Europe with arrogance and consumer might, and the US as king of the western hemisphere. A new world of competing powers improves capitalism.

If they don’t get it, expect more war.
