Before we get started, I need to ask for some assistance. If you live near Western Virginia, I need
someone to check out a house rental for me near Christiansburg. Drop me a line if you can do it.

We are being told Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, causing a huge spike in oil prices, and fertilizer
and drug shortages causing food and drug price spikes as well. That link is to Infowars, but the same
story is everywhere. While at the same time Trump is saying on TV that “they have no navy”. So
here’s a question for you:
how can Iran close the Strait with no navy?
The Strait isn’t even controlled by Iran and never was, it is controlled via the south shore by Saudi
Arabia, UAE, and Oman, all big US allies. In other words, it is controlled by the US. But even if Iran
had been controlling it before this war, we are told the US is winning in a rollover, with our huge
aircraft carriers parked in the Persian Gulf. The US and its allies have 19 aircraft carriers (with 11 of
those US and allegedly nuclear) and Iran has . . . zero. So tell me again how Iran has closed the Strait?
Oh yeah, now I remember: a single Irani soldier dressed himself as an American female midshipman,
snuck on board one carrier, and flushed a dead squirrel down the toilet or something, disabling the
entire ship. There was a computer room on the wall opposite the row of toilets, I guess, and that went
down with the squirrel, and since all the ships are connected, the entire fleet went dark. That explains
the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, right? That explains your gas, food, and drug prices doubling
overnight—after already doubling during Covid.
This is all just another Phoenician Navy shakedown. Due to worldwide pushback in the past five years,
they have lost trillions, so this is their plan for making it up. The AI fraud hit the wall last year, so this
is their plan for making it up. Fake a war, fake shortages, and soak you one more time.
But it isn’t just this event. Notice how they run these things, since it is how they fool you everytime.
They hire thousands of talking heads on both sides of the aisle to frame this as whether or not Iran will
open the Strait and a dozen other side topics, so you forget to ask whether Iran has any control of the
Strait to start with, or ever did. It’s called misdirection. They are doing the same thing with the event I
covered yesterday, of the 175 schoolgirls triple bombed by our Air Force. On my way to the market
today I heard some Jewish bozo faux-historian from the Cardozo School (
Yeshiva University in NY, of
course) being interviewed on NPR, arguing this was a war crime whether or not it was accidental, and
comparing Trump to the Nazis, and on and on blahblahblah, and we hear from the other side claiming
all is fair in love and war, power is everything, blahblahblah, so again you forget to ask whether this
happened at all. Everyone on both sides takes it as given and goes from there. This is logical fallacy
#1, a sort of argument for idiots, but since almost no one knows what a logical fallacy is anymore, and
is too drugged up to think rationally anyway, it doesn’t matter.
Almost every topic is framed like this now, and has been for many decades, because it works. You are
pushed into arguing details, so the fact the whole thing is a conjob is immediately bypassed. Not one
person (who makes the news on either side, in any country) ever says, “Wait, slow down, we don’t have
any evidence this even happened, other than a press release from the Pentagon or the CIA or one of
their mouthpieces—which we have caught lying millions of times and who have an obvious stake in
lying here—so why don’t we look at it logically for a few moments before we rush ahead into
responses? Having a partisan debate on this makes no sense if it never happened, and given the track
record of these people, we should just assume it didn’t. No debate is necessary. Any and all debate
looks manufactured, so picking a side is just busywork.
Not only is this war being used to justify our trillion-dollar defense budget, including the B2 bomber
and all the other hardware, and being used to further inflate the prices of everything, it has the added
benefit of adding to your levels of dread, since both sides are framing it as the beginning of WWIII,
possible nuclear war, endtimes, and a rise in terrorism. This keeps you hiding under the bed in the fully
prone position, from which posture you are very unlikely to question anything you are told from the TV
or phone. You are very unlikely to act logically when your mouth is full of dust bunnies and your eyes
are clogged with dog hair. So the Revolution is permanently stalled.
April 3: the White House has now gone completely off the deep end, with Trump claiming we are now
in a war economy and requesting $1.5 trillion for defense instead of $1 trillion. A 50% increase to
fight a country with no Navy or Air Force, that we are already allegedly bombing into the stone age?
This from a President who ran on the platform of getting us out of foreign wars and concentrating on
domestic stability and programs. To pay for this extra $500 billion, he suggests we dump Medicare
and Medicaid, letting the States take that over. What? Seems to me the Phoenicians have all gone
insane and are just begging you to revolt, to put them out of their misery.
April 5: We now have more proof the war is being staged by the fact that satellite imagery of Iran has
been blocked by US government request. They don’t want us researching their claims of destruction by
checking actual images. When Trump claims to have nuked the entire country, they don’t want you
going to Google Maps and discovering it is still there untouched.
TAP – A family friend is on an oil tanker stuck in the Straits of Hormuz next to Abu Musa. He’s been there since the Straits blocked up.The ship alongside his (Chinese)was hit by a drone in the engine room disabling and blacking out the ship (Unlikely to have been done by Iran), as it disabled the main engine and the reserve engine, leaving the crew without power. He sent video. He witnessed the intense bombing of Abu Musa by the US counting fifty explosions in a matter of minutes. The IRGC were giving all the ships instructions by VHF each day and are clearly the ones controlling the Straits.
The Iranian navy is equipped with drones, missiles and torpedoes, which can be launched from small fast attack craft. They have mini submarines which can sit and wait on the sea bed in the Gulf. It seems likely the IRGC have prepared for the closure of the Straits for many years.
As for the bombing of Teheran and other cities, and of Beirut, there is footage. That extent of the damage might be harder to prove especially if Google Earth is sealed for the duration.
It seems unlikely the whole thing is faked. Although it is entirely possible the Israelis wanted Iran to close the Straits to engineer global price rises, fertiliser shortages etc., and Israel wants the US to be ensnared in a MIddle East war. Trump said the war was won the moment the Straits were closed, and he seems to be, to some extent, controlled by the Israelis, and is part of the Epstein syndicate.
The problem for the Israelis might be if the US military plus allies are not as effective as they hoped they would be, and the Iranians are not as easy to push around as all the other MIddle East countries the US and NATO have attacked in the last twenty five years. Iran has had decades to get ready for an Israeli/US attack.
There do appear to be two separate agendas – the American and the Israeli.
Vance and Iranian officials arrive in Islamabad for high-stakes talks Iran says no negotiations without Lebanon ceasefire, release of assets US, Lebanon Ask Israel to Pause Attacks on Lebanese Territory Ahead of Talks – Reports Exclusive-Iranian source says US has agreed to unfreeze Iranian funds, Washington denies it.
Regarding Miles W Mathis his article saying Artemis is a fake, is probably spot on!!!
