(1 June 2026) It is now 10 pm MST June 1, or, 4 AM GMT, June 2. We have been watching world and Mideast events surrounding the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the IRGC. The Strait has been closed to normal traffic for 93 days.
The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 (with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz) is still in play. And it will remain in play and then either be disproved when the regime is completely disbanded, or will be confirmed when the Ram runs out across the Middle East.
Halt in Proceeding to a Peace
This Newsmax piece reports that Iran has suspended negotiations with the US. They did so because of Israel’s ongoing attacks in Lebanon.
Clues to Bigger War Coming
A Canadian Prepper video has pieced together many issues going on with the Strait of Hormuz. The relevant parts if you are short on time are 07:37 to 11:21.
The US claims it is escorting ships through the Strait, but what they mean is out of the Strait. Iran is letting ships through, but again, they are headed out.
Ship crews stranded for three months now are running out of supplies such that there is now a humanitarian crisis.
Due to these ships headed out, CP surmises that both sides are planning the next phase of the war in which many ships in the Gulf will become collateral damage unless they leave.
That is rather ominous.
And CP’s explanation makes sense.
Conclusion
Not only is the path to peace stopped for now, but signs point to the next phase of the war not only coming soon, but for it to be expanded.
This boils down to chances weighing further on the side that we are in the early phase of the Second Signpost.
And though we know generally when fuel shortages will show up due to ongoing conditions, the next phase of the war could start any time. And this phase of the war could easily include the IRGC destroying the remainder of the Arab oil infrastructure.
Keep watch.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS 
Journalists are beginning to connect the dots about the food crisis that is evolving now. I summarise because the article is behind a paywall. There are four dots to connect:
1. Trump’s trade war through tariffs hurt U.S. farming by raising prices on fertiliser, tractors and more while cutting off foreign markets for their produce.
2. Trump’s Iran war made things even worse for farmers all over the world by jacking up the prices of fuel and fertiliser and causing shortages of them.
3. The 1.4 C the planet has already heated since the pre-industrial era has gouged global agricultural productivity by 21%, according to an extensive recent U.N. report. Crops, livestock, dairy, meat, fish; all are affected negatively. It means there’s less wiggle room to handle unforeseen disasters such as wars.
Hotter weather also messes with bug populations, weakening pollinators while strengthening pests like the plague of locusts that hit Kyrgyzstan last year. It helps spread diseases. It dries out the soil and worsens droughts. It raises the risk of wildfires. It makes farm workers sick.
At the moment 77% of the entire USA is already abnormally dry, and the fourth dot has yet to begin:
4. A strong El Nino starting this year has now become certain.
A recent example of its effects: Brazil.
Heat waves and drought in 2023 and 2024 were exacerbated by a relatively strong El Nino. That reduced soy and corn yields by 10% to 20%. It made pigs skinnier and dairy cows produce less milk. It killed salmon in farms. It subjected more of Brazil’s land to wildfires. It exposed agricultural workers to a record number of days in dangerous conditions in some big growing areas.
When the drought broke in Brazil, it did so catastrophically. The heat dome squatting over Brazil in its 2024 autumn contributed to a massive flood in the south that took 183 lives and displaced 600,000 people. It also ruined 2 million tons of unharvested soy-beans and damaged 600,000 hectares of grazing pasture for livestock.

Actually a strong El Nino starting this year is now only the best case scenario.
The most probable case scenario is a very strong El Nino.
The worst case scenario, still within the range of possibilities coming out of the ensemble calculations, is a record breaking El Nino.

Many people in the poor regions of the world, and the poor in the rich regions of the world, will be in trouble after the harvest of coming fall, and progressively worse in 2027.
There actually could be a fifth dot.
Ukraine still produces quite a lot of the World’s corn and wheat, for the truce negotiated by Turkey’s Erdogan is still holding out: Russia neither attacks the Ukrainian food transport vessels nor the export port of Odessa.
But the war is going worse than ever for Russia, and some analysts think that the Russians may become desperate. If they use nukes against Ukraine, or have similar nasty things up their sleeve, all of Ukrainian food production may not reach the rest of the world for some time.
This is just a musing by me; I very much hope I am wrong here.
On the YouTuber channel by ‘Monkey Werx’ in his video titled “WINCHESTER! We Gave Away the Farm!”, published 5 days ago, the author of the video does a great job of showing how low we are in our weapons stockpiles and how the production chains take 46 to 52 months 4-5 years to make a new missile. He goes on to say we no longer have strategic deterrence due to the expenditure of missiles in the Ukraine, and Iran wars. One of his key take aways is that China, Russia and Iran are not looking at if we can handle an initial fight, they are actively watching our munitions stockpiles decrease, they are actively tracking what has been expended and what remains and are calculating if we can sustain a multi front war for 30-60-90 days. The author of the video explains they are playing the long game. Perhaps this is one of the lenses that is becoming more focused as to why the Ram does all that it wants and no animal can stop it for a time.
For our readers, Brandon’s video he called out is at this link.
This seems like strange timing.
