Truth Counts

Checkmate On 28 February the IRGC began to issue VHF radio warnings to  ships attempting to travel through the Strait of Hormuz.  EU and UK maritime agencies confirmed these transmissions shortly after our first strike.  Iran used escalation policies and military aggression which brought maritime traffic to a standstill. On 4 March, the IRGC made it official:  The strait was closed to all seafaring vessels. Iran pulled the Fool's Mate on us in one move - an impossibility, of course. But because our administration was limited by their imagination, unfamiliar with the terrain of the mind - in less than 24 hours, Tehran showed herself to be a Grand Chess Master. Earlier, I wrote about a stalemate.  But in fact, it was a checkmate within 24 hours of our bombing campaign.  Because what really blew up in our own faces, was the surgical strike against  the Grand Ayatollah.  In a million years, I would have never advised that course of action. And when on...

Short Analysis This is not my work.  But I will be posting something later tonight.  Tammy   For a long time, I have been emphasizing that the U.S. military has been amassing forces in the UAE region south of the Strait of Hormuz and right south of Oman as well. Now, it is said that they are trying to move toward Oman itself and gain direct control over the coastal areas at the intersection of the UAE and Oman, so as to control the Strait of Hormuz from land, just like Iran does. The troop buildup in this region has expanded, and reconnaissance activities and force concentrations for attacking the Strait of Hormuz, the islands, and the coasts of Iran continue unabated. Unfortunately, the politicians' prevention of declaring military conflict and the necessity for the military to respond in Iran allowed the U.S. to seize this golden opportunity of the ceasefire to take control of Iran's power tools in the Strait of Hormuz. Now, inside the country, we see that the self-sold...

If Only They Could Spell.... I am really following this news, and will update the story should I come across anything.  https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15860791/americans-injured-ballistic-missile-strike-kuwait.html But these guys will not win the Spelling Bee.  And to inform properly - we will do just fine.

Iran Offers the Middle Finger There are (unverified) reports that Iran has activated their air defense systems on Qeshm Island.  And as of four hours ago, Iran's Ministry of Foreign of Affairs announced control of the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman is non-negotiable.  Scott Bessent is certainly being ignored when informing that one billion dollars in Iran's cryptocurrencies have been seized.  I guess "We" have not figured out that everything is not reduced to money.  We certainly do not understand the terrain of the mind of the House of Ali.  Tehran seems fully aware (it does not take a genius....) that their biggest challenge is the political management of war because our daily churn of statements is intended to benefit world crude oil markets. Crude oil just dropped below $87 dollars per barrel. Sadly, the Gulf States have also come to the realization that their reliance on U.S. and Israeli intelligence have often left them with an exaggerated claim of...

Nithya Raman: Wealthy Hypocrite and Out of Touch "So I woke up this morning to a sound of commotion outside my window and I looked out the window, and I realized that there were people setting up what was, I think a fake encampment, like a homeless encampment outside of my house... I have two little kids. They didn't see it, luckily, this morning... But you know, I feel bad that I'm even subjecting them to that at all." Yowsa!  Nithya Raman thought her wealthy enclave would be protected from the misery which the Democratic Party peddles to the rest of us.   That being said, I did not realize that she was of the Christian faith!   I applaud her!   She is a "it will not come nigh thee" Christian!  Golf clap, please! "A thousand will fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it will not come nigh thee." Psalm 91:7  (KJV) If reading the prior verse - because scripture must be read in context - we can close the loop. "Nor for the pe...

  关于加强军队高级干部教育管理监督的若干措施 China's Central Military Commission just tightened up the education, supervision and management of senior military leaders. The "Measures to Strengthen the Education, Management, and Supervision of Senior Leaders" was issued yesterday. It is made up of seven sections and twenty-six points. I would love to see the actual document.
