BIG PICTURE with James Patrick (Planet Lockdown)

Is the bond market imploding — and is the sovereign debt crisis finally arriving in real time? 🎙💥📈 The Macro Butler is back on Piggo’s Trading Desk for a deep dive into the story the consensus can no longer ignore: the long end is breaking, and no Treasury Secretary can talk it back up. Here’s the map: 📈 Bond market implosion — the US 10-year above 5%, the 30-year at a 25-year high, and Bessent’s “I am the house” buyback bluff called by a market thirty times his size. The trend has turned, and the market is never wrong. 🏛 The sovereign debt crisis is here — $40 trillion in US debt, Japan’s JGBs cracking at 1996 levels, and the uncomfortable truth that “endless borrowing” always ends the same way. 🛢 Oil, diesel & the inflation no rate hike touches — record crack spreads, closed chokepoints, and an SPR at a 40-year low feeding straight into the Trump Stagflation. 🥇 Gold, silver & hard assets — why capital is migrating out of paper promises and into the things that can’t be printed, frozen, or defaulted on. Zero hopium. Zero soft landings. Just the macro playbook history keeps validating. 🎧 Watch the full conversation on Piggo’s Trading Desk now. https://themacrobutler.substack.com/p/interview-with-piggos-trading-desk-76e

So why not turn back on Nord Stream 1 and get the same Russian gas for lots cheaper???

Zamir subsequently warned Israel’s political establishment that an attack on Iran could potentially delay the Israeli general election scheduled for 27 October. Source: Israeli Channel 12. Looks like Bibi is asking Trump yo delay his election again...

If I am President of the French Republic, we will not go to war alongside the Americans against the Chinese over Taiwan, because Taiwan is part of China. We will negotiate with the Chinese because if we don't, we will be crushed.

Israeli Soldier Reveals 'Strange Order' To Cancel Gaza Border Patrols On 7 Oct The revelation adds to evidence suggesting Israel knew of the Hamas attack in advance, yet allowed it to occur An Israeli soldier stated that he and his fellow soldiers stationed at a military outpost near Gaza received orders not to carry out their usual early morning patrol on the border fence on 7 October 2023, Israeli media reported on 17 July. During the time the border patrol would have normally been carried out, members of Hamas's armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, crossed the fence to attack Israeli army bases and settlements (kibbutzim). Shalom Sheetrit, a soldier in the Golani Brigade, revealed the directive while giving testimony at a meeting of the lobby for reserve personnel in the Israeli Knesset. He stated that on the night before the 7 October attack, he and two other soldiers, Yotam Sror and Itamar Ben Yehuda, sat by the battalion radio at the Pega military outpost near Kibbutz Be'eri. “We were playing on the phone [at 5:20 am] and suddenly a strange message comes from my battalion commander,” the soldier explained, “and what he says on the call is something like this: ‘I don't know why, but an order was issued that there are no patrols at the fence until nine in the morning.’” 🔗SOURCE ➡️ The Cradle Related: 7/31 — 🚨🇮🇱❕ 'We Received Orders From The Golani Brigade Commanders On October 7 To Cancel All Patrols Along The Gaza Border From 5: 20 Am Until 9:00 Am.' - Israeli Soldier Testifies To The Knesset Committee. 6/19 — Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar Responds To Netanyahu's Decision To Fire Him: Investigating The PM Over October 7 Is In The Interest Of National Security 5/13 — 4/22/2025 - Supernova Chief Of Security Elkana Federman Files Complaint Against ISA Head 3/20 — IDF Probe Finds Oct 7th Response to Nir Oz ‘Massive Failure’: First Troops Reached Kibbutz Nir Oz 40 Minutes After Last Terrorists Left 3/16 — Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar Responds To Netanyahu's Decision To Fire Him: Investigating The PM Over October 7 Is In The Interest Of National Security 2/8 — Israel Failed To Notify Nova Festival Of Hamas Rocket Warning 1/8 — — Survivors of Nova Festival Were Forcibly Hospitalized Due to Mental Distress 10/27/24 — Report: Shin Bet Warned Of Possible Hamas Assault Hours Before October 7 Attack 10/17/24 — Why Was A Unit 8200 Member Threatened With Court Martial For Repeatedly Warning Of Oct 7th Before It Happened? 7/5/24 — Not only was the Nova festival at the Gaza border approved last-minute by the Israeli authorities, two entire brigades of soldiers were removed from the area to the West Bank. 6/29/24 — Was There a Military Stand Down Order in Place on October 7?

The Ministry of Preventive War has a new vocabulary word to teach the public: the "shadow war." Germany's BND intelligence Spy In Chief Martin Jäger informed parliament that the confrontation with Russia has entered a "new, more dangerous dimension" of drones, sabotage, cyberattacks, and espionage, that Moscow is "our most dangerous adversary," and that the threat is "real and imminent" — while a German general helpfully adds that Russia can attack NATO "now," and Berlin rearms at a pace not seen in generations. The genius of the "shadow war" is its definitional emptiness: it begins with no declaration, has no visible front line, and can be invoked by any ambiguous event — a drone in the sky, a vessel sunk in the Baltic, a cable mysteriously cut — which means the public can be told the war has already started without anyone being able to point to the moment it did. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/germany-risk-violent-conflict-with-russia-intel-chief-says-2026-10-05/

When a government declares you are already in a "shadow war" that began with no declaration and has no front line, it hasn't warned you of a danger — it has pre-authorised every escalation to come, because a war nobody can see starting is a war no one can be blamed for finishing.
