Allegations Of Pentagon “Casualty Cover-Up”: The Intercept
Well-known national security news site The Intercept has issued fresh reporting which alleges a Pentagon cover-up when it comes to mounting US casualties from Trump’s Operation Epic Fury. Speculation and questions have lately surged among the public and analysts given that casualty updates put out by the Pentagon have been very few and far between. It actually accuses the Pentagon of shoddy record-keeping going back significantly before the current Iran war.
Currently the official numbers… “Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 303 US service members have been wounded,” CENTCOM spokesman Tim Hawkins said earlier this week. And, as of April 2nd, 13 US service members have been confirmed killed going back to the war’s start on February 28, 2026. But The Intercept is alleging an astounding “casualty cover-up” by the Trump administration:
Almost 750 U.S. troops have been wounded or killed in the Middle East since October 2023, an analysis by The Intercept has found. But the Pentagon won’t acknowledge it.

Bill’s Commentary:
“I keep showing you these charts because they are beautiful! Gold got oversold for the first time in nearly 2 years and kissed the 200 day moving average, while the MACD is now “hooking” upwards from the deepest level maybe going back as far as 2008? The only description I can use is, gold traded like a tractor in 1st gear relentlessly moving higher. Silver was more overextended and did not quite touch the 200 day moving average, nor did it get fully oversold. As with gold, silver’s MACD is hooking upwards from a seriously low level. These charts are merely pictures of price action. Price action has been dominated by a severe supply and demand deficit. Fundamentals always will carry the day and the fundamentals for both gold and silver are probably the best they have ever been in my career leading up to what I believe will be the perfect storm. I believe the bottom is in and within days it will be indisputable… a little time will tell!”

NASA Plays Incredible April Fools’ Joke Of Once Again Pretending To Go To The Moon
MERRITT ISLAND, FL — In one of the biggest April Fools’ jokes in decades, NASA is pretending once again to actually be going to the moon.
NASA has reportedly spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the elaborate prank, going so far as to construct a massive fake rocket on the Kennedy Space Center launch pad. As part of the joke, a green-screen video will be aired this evening of the “rocket launch”, featuring a tiny model rocket controlled by strings and employees making explosion sounds in the background.
“I can’t stop laughing about it. How are people still falling for this?” giggled NASA Director Jared Isaacman. “Sixty years later, and this joke is the gift that keeps on giving. You should see the faces the ‘astronauts’ make when they’re pretending to be launching in a rocket ship, they’re so dang funny. I’m all shaking the camera around. It’s honestly hard to believe people are this gullible… I love my job so much.”

‘Reverse Indicator’ Oil Market Narratives and the Traders Who Love Them
By Stan Szymanski
This is NOT financial advice. For informational purposes only.
…’At 4:12 PM ET on Sunday, Iran’s Speaker of the Parliament said pre-market news is a “reverse indicator,” if they “dump” the market, then “go long,” and “if they pump it, short it.”…(The Kobeissi Letter on X)
The Kobeissi Letter (TKL) is certainly worth the follow. IMHO, whether you do it on ‘X’ or on LinkedIn or some other platform, you will receive a lot of info during the day with which to input into your own decision making and intelligence.
Earlier in the trading day (yesterday, 4/1/26), TKL reported the following:
…’BREAKING: The US and Iran are discussing a potential deal that would involve a ceasefire in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, per Axios.
Details include:
1. China and Pakistan reportedly presented a peace initiative along those lines on Tuesday
2. Earlier today, Ian’s Foreign Ministry called Trump’s claims that Iran has requested a ceasefire to be “false and baseless.”
3. US officials have cautioned that it was unclear whether a deal could be reached
The nonstop headlines continue.’…(TKL via LinkedIn 4/1/26)

Oracle Firing Tens Of Thousands As CDS Explodes To Financial Crisis Record
Two months ago, when ORCL announced it would raise $50 billion in a combination of stock and bonds to ease market fears about its soaring funding costs and lack of actual revenues and “to build additional capacity to meet the contracted demand from the company’s largest cloud customers, including Advanced Micro Devices, Meta Platforms, Nvidia, OpenAI, TikTok and xAI” we said that this latest example of financial engineering, which perhaps most importantly was meant to push its soaring Credit Default Swap lower, was doomed to fail.
We didn’t have long to wait: since the Feb 1 announcement, the stock has tumbled to fresh multi year lows…
Bill’s Commentary:
“We have shown this chart to you several times now. Please notice the “hook” forming in the bottom right-hand corner.

Google Finds Quantum Computers Could Break Bitcoin Sooner Than Expected
Google just told the Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies industry it has less time than it thought to prepare for the quantum computing influence. In a whitepaper published March 31, Google Quantum AI researchers demonstrated that breaking the elliptic curve cryptography protecting bitcoin, ether and most major cryptocurrencies could require fewer than 500,000 physical qubits on a superconducting quantum computer. That’s roughly a 20 times reduction from prior estimates, which pegged the figure in the millions.
The paper carries serious institutional weight. Its coauthors include Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation, Dan Boneh of Stanford, and six Google Quantum AI researchers led by Ryan Babbush and Hartmut Neven. Google says it engaged with the U.S. government before publishing and names Coinbase, the Stanford Institute for Blockchain Research, and the Ethereum Foundation as collaborators.
Breaking Bitcoin with quantum may be easier than thought, with Taproot partly to blame, Google says
Breaking Bitcoin’s blockchain with quantum computers may not be as difficult as once thought, and Bitcoin’s Taproot technology, which enables more efficient, private transactions, may be partly to blame, Google’s Quantum AI team said Monday in a blog post and newly published whitepaper.
The team said the computing power required to break Bitcoin’s security may be far lower than previously assumed, raising fresh questions about how soon quantum threats could become a reality.
In a new whitepaper, researchers found that cracking the cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum could require fewer than 500,000 physical quantum bits, or qubits, well below the “millions” often cited in recent years.

The IRS Wants Smarter Audits. Palantir Could Help Decide Who Gets Flagged
The Internal Revenue Service paid Palantir $1.8 million last year to improve a custom tool designed to help the tax agency identify the “highest-value” cases for audits, collection of unpaid taxes, and potential criminal investigations, according to documents WIRED obtained via public record request.
When the contract was signed, the IRS said it was using “more than 100 business systems and 700 methods,” built over the course of “decades” to select cases in which people may have incorrectly reported their taxes or owe the IRS money. As identifying potential tax discrepancies became more complex, the agency said its systems grew increasingly inefficient, and it needed to find a solution.
“This fragmented landscape can lead to a number of undesirable outcomes including but not limited to duplication of effort and cost, poor understanding of gaps in the coverage, and suboptimal case selection,” the IRS wrote in a document obtained by WIRED outlining the scope of the contract.

US ‘Only Certain Of Having Destroyed A Third’ Of Iran’s Missiles
The US is only certain it has destroyed around a third of Iran’s missiles, despite comments from President Donald Trump boasting of military success. According to five people familiar with the US intelligence who spoke to Reuters, the status of around another third is less clear. However, US-Israeli strikes have likely damaged, destroyed or buried those missiles in underground tunnels and bunkers.
Iran’s drone capability has also likely been reduced by a third, another source said. The assessment, which comes one month after the beginning of the US-Israeli assault on Iran, suggests Tehran still retains substantial missile capability and its ability to retaliate is far from eliminated. At a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Trump said – while discussing options to open the Straits of Hormuz – that 99 percent of Iran’s missiles had been destroyed.
