Promethean Action Follows the Money in the Background of the Iran Conflict

A generally good summary into some of the financial issues happening in the background of the dire Straits of Hormuz.

Susan Kokinda highlights UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declining to join an American blockade and claims Britain has lost control of the choke point. She details financial actions targeting Iranian money flows, including UAE arrests of IRGC-linked money changers, Treasury Secretary Bessent using Patriot Act Section 311 against a Zurich bank, and scrutiny of London-based crypto exchanges and Santander UK. She cites a UK military chief admitting Britain’s war planning has lapsed since the Cold War and links fuel disruptions and protests to the conflict, concluding Trump has forced a hidden imperial system into the open.

Lloyds of London was the insurer for much of the oil being moved around the world. When Starmer refused to send military assistance, it basically destroyed Lloyds’ reputation, as now the British military doesn’t have the resources to back up the insurance on the oil being transported.

Trump put the American military in charge of Hormuz and thereby stole Lloyds’ reputation.

"Does this mean that Lyndon LaRouche wasn’t the loose-cannon-wingnut he was portrayed to be?"

Whether that be the case or not, he was an absolute nut job. I happened to be in Federal Court one day and saw LaRouche testifying for debtor's interrogatories in front of a magistrate. That is, someone had sued him, obtained a judgment, and brought him into court to testify under oath about what assets he might have and where they were. LaRouche's story was that he had no idea where his food came from or who paid the money for his rent and upkeep. The meals just appeared three times a day, his clothes were laundered and replaced as needed, a car and driver were available as needed, cash just appeared as if magically in his wallet, and he had not a single clue as to who was paying for this or why. How could you respect someone like that?

“Best ongoing analysis available, anywhere. Does this mean that Lyndon LaRouche wasn't the loose-cannon-wingnut he was portrayed to be?”

What isn't funny is how many so-called conspiracy theories that have turned out to be true.

Communists are taking over America. I remember how Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer used to go into a rage when they were called socialists? Now the Democratic Socialists of America has taken over the Democratic Party and all claim communism to be great!

COVID lockdowns were a test run in tyranny. Two weeks to flatten the curve. They locked us down for years and told us it was the best for us, they injected us with an untested vaccine that actually killed more people than it helped.

The government spies on us 24x7. Before Snowden we probably all assumed the government was probably spying on us, but to what extent was unknown and to think the answer was “everyone, all the time, any time” was in conspiracy theory territory.
