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.

BUMP!
I’ve been loving Promethean Action’s analysis. Thanks for posting.
Best ongoing analysis available, anywhere. Does this mean that Lyndon LaRouche wasn’t the loose-cannon-wingnut he was portrayed to be?
For later.

I’m not sure how to answer that.......(but have been wondering....)
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.
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?
His analysis of issues was never the problem, it was how he wanted to solve them.
What isn't funny is how many so-called conspiracy theories that have turned out to be true.
There are a lot of movements that analyze situations pretty well but have terrible solutions.
They see clearly the NATO members and the Monarch's have played to destroy the USA. They hate Trump for destroying their little nitch.
They are staunchly pro American, full stop. Hamiltonian when it comes to economics. Which is why they understand (seemingly) Trump.
I must say I am mostly persuaded by them. I do have questions....but...for the most part I’m persuaded.
Exposing English Royalty trying to destroy Trump for something he did not do, they have no way to hide when caught.
All of that is true, and is still compatible that the gals over at Promethean Action are on to something. It seems to me the only thing they have taken from LaRouche is his suspicion of financial capitalism/royalty (fair, I think....) and his belief that we need not / should not go out of our way to remain enemies with Russia and in his day the Soviet Union. In that regard, LaRouche feels like a lefty to us....because much/most of what we believe of the USSR is absolutely true.
That said, they don’t think that we should unnecessarily be enemies with a great power like Russia, who is pretty uniquely endowed with natural resources. Obviously we will never be “allies”....but if we can not be enemies, that’s probably a good thing. And Trump it seems is sort of in that school and his refusal to suck up to Ukraine can be seen as avoiding unnecessarily provoking Russia.
In any event...these gals have never once even mentioned LaRouche in what I have heard....well, I take that back, maybe once they talked about Russian natural resources and said this was something that LaRouche fully understood. As I said in another post, I still ahve questions about their reading of history, but....for the most part, I am persuaded by their analysis. It also gives me hope that Trump is really up to something extraordinary.
Seems that Tulsi’s revelations this week is in fact consistent with that.
Yes. He has times when he gets off course.
But he is very perceptive.
My favorite news source in the ME?
Amir Tsarfati. Clearly perceptive. Jewish born, Christian Pastor, reserve officer.
I follow him on Telegram most of the time. There are times when things move so fast that I cannot stay caught up.
