I don't think we are going to see WWIII. And even if they succeed in fooling the public into thinking it was successful and the most Beautiful military maneuver any President has EVER made, women are NOT going to let Mr T off the hook with Epstein files, among other issues.
Rachel Maddow on the real reason for the Iran attack: https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/why-trump-war-iran-benefits
Saw this sign from spirit while walking through the woods. We are using these times to evolve and I feel it working. (There is someone in my town who leaves these little rocks on woodland paths. And this one struck me as particularly prophetic.)
When I threw cards about the Iran conflict this summer, the reading didn’t seem to answer that question directly. Instead, it pointed to the deeper question I realized was on my mind: what happens to T in all of this? Would the Iran attack bring him glory or would the attack backfire on him?
The cards pointed not to geopolitical outcomes, but to the emergence of a woman — and then showed that some other women will emerge in the public sphere. When I asked how T might respond to this, the Tower card appeared, suggesting major downfall.
Two things we know about Trump is his unquenchable greed, and demand for power, to be the Greatest The World Has Ever Seen, or some such hyperbole. What do Venezuela and Iran have in common? Disaffected citizenry unhappy with their governments, and OIL! Yes, it's all about the oil. With Venezuela, didn't T set up some mastermind plan whereas he's taken over the oil, and proceeds would go into some off-shore account that only HE has say-so over (supposedly in the best interest of the country, but we know that's a lie). Oil prices go up; T gets even richer by controlling the oil.
Iran has oil too. In 1953, the democratically elected leader of Iran nationalized the oil which ticked off the wealthy UK oil ppl who previously had control of that oil. Then we helped get rid of the democratic guy and put in the Shah, who became a bloodthirsty dictator, and precipitated the current regime in 1979 which says it hates the US. If a country took our country's assets and seated an autocrat against our will, we'd be ticked off too. (Gee, I think we might be living our own version of that scenario) And now the US again bombs Iran to change the regime, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Iranians decided they hated US more than their own terrible government. But under it all is the OIL. If the powers that be in Iran are in disarray, a strong force could come in and take over... the OIL! and maybe it will also join Venezuela's Trump-controlled bank account for his selling of their oil.
And Jeanne, when you spoke about Pluto, dark patriarchal forces, and the stripping of nature and natural resources for personal gain (by T et al), seems to me we are seeing it at this moment.
Beyond the insatiable greed of T, the fact that one hideous person last week ordered our military to attack another country to kill their leader, has resulted now in thousands of others dying, and we're far from the end of this. One tiny-handed obnoxious deranged person sitting in the President's chair has caused death and destruction across the world, to people completely uninvolved in T's machinations.
With this latest attack on Iran, I expect T has cast his fate into the abyss. It will be the end of this level of power for him. The world is against him.
Yes, the one-man-did-this idea has me in an impotent rage. Oil is an important part of the picture but I listened to an international discussion of how this conflict will affect the energy markets and they said that the US doesn’t need Iran’s oil. However, one major point they made is that everyone needs an open Strait of Hormuz in order to transport and access oil and right now, there is little traffic through it. Interestingly, they also said that the Tr-p administration is pressuring oil companies to start working in difficult markets like Syria (they thought success in this endeavor would be unlikely) which suggests that oil is a big part of the picture. One energy expert encouraged the world to start conserving energy now in case the conflict continues and supplies run low. I don’t recall any predictions of energy shortages in the Predictions section but I will look again.
While oil and the financial incentives noted by Rachel Maddow from Qatar and the Saudis may influencing factors, one can’t help wonder how large of a role the kompromat that Epstein collected plays in current events.
Security expert, Gavin de Becker asserts in an interview on the podcast Diary of a CEO, that Epstein was working on behalf of the Israeli government. Another guest in a different interview made the same assertion.

In the Epstein files as well as anonymous tips and other victim allegations, there are reports of buried bodies, snuff films, sadistic abuse and murders, one of which allegedly occurred while, ahem, a pertinent world leader was present. Powerful potential kompromat indeed.
So, if one Prime Minister who has been charged with international crimes and worries about being prosecuted when he leaves office, ( https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/netanyahu,) who also fears and despises a powerful neighboring country and who has powerful dirt on another world leader (whose continued role in office is in doubt), starts a conflict and wants additional fire power, where would he look for it?
Meanwhile, Putin, ally of Iran, is also suspected of having serious kompromat on the president as well as other legislators. It will be interesting to see what surfaces.
Jeanne’s Tower card comes to mind. It is tragic that many will die under the rubble.
Re Epstein files, someone posted an alleged scenario involving a 13/14 year old directly from the FBI files that was so horrific that I deleted it, given that I could not find a familiar source that had vetted it; even though it was clearly in the FBI files. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, a United Nations Human Rights Council published this report last month (and a previous similar report in January) under the United Nations website: https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/02/1166980
Excerpt:
These are crimes against humanity:
In a statement on Monday, the independent experts – who serve in their individual capacities under mandates from the UN Human Rights Council and are not UN staff – warned that the alleged acts documented in the files could amount to some of the gravest crimes under international law.
The reported conduct could amount to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance, torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, and femicide, according to the experts.
So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said.

P.S. I wish I could recall who had posted it so I could tag her and she could feel vindicated.
One energy expert encouraged the world to start conserving energy now in case the conflict continues and supplies run low. I don’t recall any predictions of energy shortages in the Predictions section but I will look again.
@Raincloud, your analysis was terrific, and such a breath of fresh air, as your analyses always are. I read it with gratitude!
Still I must correct the record on our predictions:
A year ago in January 2025 RTF Predictions for THIS FEBRUARY, we DID predict that oil prices would go up, causing inflation to creep up and playing havoc with the economy.
Economy (Predictions posted January 2025)
- Oil prices spike. (Baba)
- January 2026 inflation creeping up. (Jeanne Mayell)
- The U.S. is now fragile, like a boat that has no keel floating in turbulent water. (Jeanne Mayell)
Yes, Jeanne, like you, I started to substantiate the crimes I mentioned but it felt icky to elaborate on such dreadful actions here. It is soothing to learn that the UN Human Rights Council has discovered this information and is calling it out. Thank you for posting it.
Yes, oil prices will rise as will inflation. I was concerned about not just the price but the supply of energy wondering if we would see the kinds of shortages we saw in the 1970s. In addition to oil and gas supplies , the grid seems vulnerable as a point of retaliation. I think I will stock up on a few solar-powered items.
Meanwhile, I am writing strong emails to my legislators. If nothing else, it gives me a few moments of relief.
I appreciate this community as a place to find mutual understanding and a common moral ground. Thank you for providing it, Jeanne.
