Trump, War in Iran, and Financial Markets, as of August 19, 2026

Yields on the 30-year bond have just rebounded again following heightened risks of further military intervention in the Middle East.

On August 18, yields on the 30-year bond reached an intraday record high since the war against Iran and since June 12… 2007!

Document 1:

In fact, bond yields reached a record intraday high of 5.399% on August 18, according to data reported by the Wall Street Journal,

Document 2:

As soon as this high was reached, those who manipulate the financial markets intervened vigorously to drive those yields down as quickly as possible, bringing them to 5.284% by the end of the trading session; and, unable to lower them any further, Scott Bessent dropped his atomic bomb the next day, August 19, by announcing at 7:30 a.m. Eastern Time an increase in the Treasury’s buybacks of its own long-term bonds for the next three months, which immediately sent yields plummeting—including those on the 30-year bond!

Document 3:

As usual, anonymous insiders stepped in for 10 minutes to make a few extra dollars…

Subsequently, those who manipulate the financial markets managed to keep these yields at a level below the previous day’s high.

The war launched by the current U.S. President against Iran logically triggered, starting in early March, a sharp rise in investor mistrust of Treasury bonds, whose yields—especially on long-term maturities—rose dangerously, reaching a high that had last been seen just before… the Great Recession!

Document 4:

As reported in a ZeroHedge article, this last-minute rescue of America is short-lived. The momentum crash will happen anyway in the near future—which… is fast approaching!

Document 5:

Yields on the 30-year bond are the canary in the coal mine: they are always an excellent leading indicator of a major explosion—in this case, the momentum crash.

The situation with 30-year bond yields exhibits the same characteristics as during the period leading up to the start of the 2008 Great Recession: yields rose sharply after hitting a low—with the bond fluctuating between 4 and 5 percent—and then everything plummeted, and that was the Great Recession!

Those who have been orchestrating these spectacular and extraordinary global operations since 2020 are seeking to exacerbate turmoil around the world—and, unfortunately, they’re succeeding quite well.

As a reminder…

When bond yields rise, bond prices fall, and vice versa.

It’s automatic; it’s mathematical.

The rise in bond yields means that savvy speculators—that is, investors who see clearly and far into the future—are selling these junk bonds because of the monetary hypertrophy that prevails there and that irrevocably dooms America to collapse; see my previous articles on this subject.

To restore America’s greatness, this monetary bubble must be burst—for example, by triggering a major global crisis through an attack on Iran…
