Hello, everybody, welcome to cognitive dissidents. I am Parallel Mike of Parallelicisms.

0:21.3

I'm Monica of the Monica Perez Show.

0:24.3

And this is her way from geopolitics and empire.com.

0:28.1

Well, it's great to see you both again. It's been three weeks, I think, since our last episode.

0:33.6

The Middle East conflict with Iran is continuing, as we all said it would. And, you know,

0:39.3

I think at this point, we can safely say that the good outcome for this is not happening.

0:44.6

That trainer's left the station. It's gone. So now it's the case of it's either going to be bad or really bad.

0:51.8

And so I think when we called it a few, it's about a month or so back now,

0:56.1

actually, maybe six to eight weeks back. It's a few months now, we can say. Well, we actually,

1:01.0

if you go back to our first episode of 2025, I think it was, we called that Iran was going to be

1:08.7

the conflict and it was going to be the one that takes us to

1:17.2

we did that too. We was one of the first group of people to say that. So I think we've been pretty

1:21.4

much on the money, not to give ourselves too much kudos, but we did a good job on that. And so I think

1:26.6

maybe in tonight's conversation,

1:28.6

we'll just discuss a little bit about what's happening and where we think it goes next. The first

1:32.7

thing that I would say is I think we're getting very close to some kind of financial event.

1:38.7

And the reason I think that is because if we go back to COVID, we had the virus, well, the virus didn't appear, but we had the narrative

1:47.0

of a virus. And very early on in that, we had a financial event that was used as the pretext

1:52.9

to print the trillions of dollars that they needed to kick the can down the road. Now, this time,

1:58.2

we know they need to kick the can, but we've had all the events, but not the financial element. That hasn't actually happened yet. And then just this week, I was noticing we've got bond yield spiking out again. And a lot of people don't really look at bonds. They look at the stock market and say, well, as the stock market itself, it means everything's fine. That's not the case. First, the real economy in the US has been shedding jobs since 2025 in all of the key sectors
