💰 Hostage Diplomacy Inc.™ — Made in Qatar, Sold in DC
Michael Pregent, a 30-year U.S. intelligence veteran, just blew the lid off America’s most bipartisan business model: renting morality by the hour, paid for in Qatari riyals.
— Pregent, right before being fired for saying it out loud
🎭 The Theater of ‘Neutral Mediation’
- Qatar hosts U.S. bases, funds Hamas, owns D.C. think tanks, and sponsors CNN guest spots.
- Washington calls it "strategic partnership." Pregent calls it *“used-car dealership diplomacy.”*
- Their pitch? “We bomb your friends, bribe your enemies, and launder your reputation. All in one place.”
🚨 From Think Tank to Bank Tank
- Brookings. Atlantic Council. MEI. All publicly bankrolled by Qatar.
- White papers written in English, ghostwritten in Doha.
- Even Trump’s own envoy, Steven Witkoff, made $623 million selling real estate to the same folks now "negotiating" hostage releases.
And when Pregent pointed out this little conflict of interest?
He was shown the door — four days after Trump returned to office.
Freedom of speech? Sure. Just not if it costs anyone a Qatari investment.
🧨 When Hostage-Takers Get a Loyalty Card
The U.S. rewards Qatar with “Major Non-NATO Ally” status.
The lease on Al Udeid Air Base is renewed for 10 more years.
Meanwhile, Qatar tells Hamas:
This isn’t diplomacy. It’s an international hostage management scheme with a customer service hotline in Langley.
🦴 The Research Industry’s Best-Kept Secret
Pregent calls it “KatarGate.”
Everyone else calls it “Tuesday.”
You want to appear in The Washington Post or New York Times?
There’s a firm for that.
$1,000 per op-ed. $15,000 for a CNN slot.
Ethics not included.
🧟♂️ American Hawks on a Qatari Leash
Remember the loudest voices defending Israel?
The ones who said “never again”?
Pregent claims many went silent after October 7 — not because of nuance, but because of paychecks.
🤡 Final Punchline
While Israeli families wait for their children to come home, D.C. think tanks publish peace plans approved by Doha, sold by former lobbyists, and sponsored by hostage brokers.
And you still think it's about values?

💀📉 "Death Cross" Scares Stock Markets — A Rare Phenomenon Has Appeared on the Charts
The S&P 500 index, which tracks the shares of the 500 largest U.S. companies, has formed the ominous "death cross"—a technical pattern where the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average.
⚠️ Why This Alarms Investors:
- Historically, this signals a dangerous downward spiral for stocks.
- Past "death crosses" have led to significant market losses and slowed growth.
- The pattern is often triggered by external shocks—economic policies, political decisions, or weakening investor confidence.
🌍 What’s Driving the Current Volatility?
- Trump’s trade wars are a major factor:
- The U.S. imposed tariffs on nearly every country, then eased some—but remains locked in a bitter customs conflict with China.
🔄 Is the "Death Cross" a Warning or Just a Lagging Indicator?
- Some analysts see it as a reflection of past declines rather than a predictor of future crashes.
- The last "death cross" appeared in March 2022, when the Fed began hiking rates to fight inflation.
- A month later, the S&P 500 fell 5%.
- Six months later, it was down 7%.
- The market only recovered in February 2023, forming a "golden cross" (when the 50-day average rises above the 200-day).
📈 Investors are now hoping for another "golden cross" to reverse the trend.

U.S. Is Withdrawing Hundreds of Troops From Syria
The United States has started drawing down hundreds of troops from northeastern Syria, a reflection of the shifting security environment in the country since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad in December, but also a move that carries risks.
The military is shuttering three of its eight small operating bases in the country’s northeast, reducing troop levels to about 1,400 from 2,000, two senior U.S. officials said. The bases are Mission Support Site Green Village, M.S.S. Euphrates and a third much smaller facility.
After 60 days, the officials said, American commanders will assess whether to make additional cuts. Commanders have recommended keeping at least 500 U.S. troops in Syria, one of the officials said.
President Trump, however, has expressed deep skepticism about keeping any U.S. troops in the country. At least for now the reductions that started on Thursday are based on ground commanders’ recommendations to close and consolidate bases, and were approved by the Pentagon and its Central Command, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters.

Biden charged during a speech that spanned just under a half-hour.

Economics professor puts odds of stagflation in US at 100%.
Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Boston College, told CNN that, as a result of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the probability of stagflation in the US is “100%.”
While others have stressed this scenario could be averted, it would only happen if Trump abandons his signature trade policy.
The origins of “stagflation”: In 1965, when the British economy was slumping while inflation was simultaneously rising, a Conservative politician declared that the country had “the worst of both worlds.
Britain had “not just inflation on the one side or stagnation on the other, but both of them together. We have a sort of ‘stagflation,’” Ian Macleod told Parliament.
His portmanteau described the doomsday scenario for central bankers globally — and one that has reared its head in the United States once more following the introduction of Trump’s tariffs.
Usually, inflation rises when an economy runs hot and employment is high. Conversely, inflation slows when an economy stagnates or contracts. But when inflation rises even while an economy is weak, you get “stagflation” — the worst of both worlds.
If they raise interest rates to tame inflation, this will dampen demand and weaken the economy further. If they cut rates to stimulate demand and economic growth, inflation will risk spiraling.
These are the choices the Federal Reserve may have to make in the weeks and months ahead.
