Best laid plans

Posted on

It seems that despite the legal shenanigans in a US-court the Grace-1 tanker has been released.

The Supreme Court in the British territory of Gibraltar has approved the release of an Iranian oil tanker that was seized last month by the United Kingdom, despite last-minute efforts by the United States to halt its release.

Clown Prince MBS

It seems that the clown prince has also been outsmarted by the Houthis and their Iranian allies. He may be called Mohammad bin Salman (son of Solomon) he is not.  Solomon was wise enough to propose cutting a baby in half to ascertain the true mother.   The clown prince ain’t no Solomon even though he wants to cut people up with a bone saw.

This is what Tom Luongo has to say;

The Houthis attacked the Shaybah oilfield and refinery 
complex which produces more than 1 million barrels of
oil per day. This is a direct attack on the Saudis’ ability 
to function as a somewhat sustainable economic and political power.

 

Apparently, the Houthis now make their own drones with help from Iran (who learnt a lot from the US drones that they shot down). These drones are not sophisticated and probably per-programmed but they fly 1,000 km and hit the target (oil infrastructure). Saudi is already struggling with a deficit and this will make things worse.  Looks like they will be forced to talk peace  (and postpone fantasy land neom) – serves them right for picking on their neighbor.

The Saudis have already lost so much in their botched attempt to overthrow 
Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the blockade of Qatar and to force a political 
realignment in Lebanon. None of Mohammed bin Salman’s strong arm tactics 
have succeeded in doing anything other than alienate more members of the Gulf
Cooperation Council and put his benefactors in Washington in very hot water,
politically.

Nuclear Weapons

In the meantime, apparently those nuclear weapons that Israel doesn’t have (LOL) are leaking.

Iran releases video

Iran Posts Video Showing Commandos Raiding  Oil Tanker

Iran must be destroyed for committing the one unforgivable sin…..they faithfully fulfilled their obligations under a united nations sponsored international treaty. ‘A senior Iranian official has called for the seizure of a British oil tanker in case London refuses to release the Iranian vessel it has illegally detained in Gibraltar.

“If Britain does not release the Iranian oil tanker, it is the authorities duty to make a reciprocal move and seize a British oil tanker,” said Major General Mohsen Rezaei, a top IRGC general and the secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council.

He said the Islamic Republic has never been the initiator of tension in its 40-year history, but it also will never hesitate to respond to bullies.”

 

 

Phantom drone and tanker

The Drone is destroyed (because I said so)

 

Operators of the drone refused calls to stand down, after which it was;

“immediately destroyed”


Bam, bam, boom…gotcha

Ba Ba boom shoot that drone
Ba Ba boom shoot that drone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where is the film evidence?  The grainy video? The parts retrieved from the sea?  The sailors dancing a jig and celebrating?  Perhaps it was an Iranian boy flying a kite?

“We have no information about losing a drone today,” 
Zarif told reporters at the United Nations before 
a meeting with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Iranians seize tanker

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has seized a foreign vessel with 12-crew members carrying one million barrels of oil. In an official Iranian media statement early on Thursday, the country’s military asserted the tanker was caught “smuggling” the fuel through the Strait of Hormuz.

 

The ship’s registered owner, Dubai-based Prime Tankers LLC, told the AP it had sold the ship to another company called Mouj Al-Bahar. A man who answered a telephone number registered to the firm told the AP it didn’t own any ships. The Emirati official said the ship was “neither UAE owned nor operated” and carried no Emirati personnel, without elaborating.  If they were smuggling that would explain why there wasn’t any distress signal and why the UAE has forsworn any knowledge or responsibility for the vessel. 

 

So, does it belong to the UAE or to Panama (even the UK has been suggested)?

A phantom drone and a phantom ship up to no good….who would have thunk it?

Believe nothing

It is better not to believe any of it.  The war drums are beating and as long as they can paint a picture of a lawless, aggressive Iran that is believed by 80% of the public they will have done a good job of preparing public sentiment for the need to intervene and make the world safe for us all. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

Posted on

Must watch

A must watch video from the UK column which weaves many themes together

  1. The foiled false flag “attack” on a British tanker
  2. The clampdown on press freedom
  3. The Epstein case

The takeaway quote about press freedom, “criminalize information already in the public domain”
The ultimate goal: stop the public spreading the truth on the internet (stuff that has already leaked into the public domain).  Julian Assange is the test case –they threatened journalist in France –and now they threaten journalists in Australia – This is GLOBALIST POLICY (lie and cover up with impunity).  Anything they do not want you to know slap a D notice on it or declare it part of the Secrets Act.

Britannia rules the waves

The UK is sending a type 45 destroyer to join the frigate in the Gulf. So, that’s 2 Type 23 frigates that do work and 1 Type 45 that sometimes work, in the area. That and 100 marines. Dispensing with HMS Ocean now looks like a really stupid idea, doesn’t it? As stupid as prating around with the Type 45 contract that was supposed to be for 12 destroyers and ended up delivering 6 for the same money. As stupid as designing 65,000 tonne through-deck carriers, then modifying them to ski-ramp and no cat-and-trap, flying F35B instead of C so that you have short-range fighters, no AWACS and no re-fuelling. Britain rules the waves? Now that Iran has missiles they are sitting ducks being driven into a bottle neck (straights of Hormuz).  The British navy and defense force is meant to supplement a larger EU force – it can no longer “project power” globally but is only a division within the EU.  As a consequence the UK has been steadily downgrading its fighting capability.  Even if the UK ends up leaving the EU it will continue with its defensive integration with Europe. At the moment the UK is backing the American-Israeli agenda while the EU sits on the sidelines (unwilling to get involved in this dirty business).  

Financiers versus Zionists

Some commentators have suggested that we are seeing factional infighting – the financeers are backing away from war because of the dangers that oil derivatives pose and the Zionists are still gung-ho putting the state before global
financial hegemony.

The factions are:

Rothschild-Rockefeller (the globalist faction) as opposed to……

the Adelson-Trump, (nationalist-Likudnik-Zionist faction).


In this scenario Epstein is the agent of the financiers rather than an agent of Mossad. Who is this meant to take down? Trump or the Clinton faction? Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine. But in either case it is the same “family” is behind the chaos.

Russia’s warning

"I believe it [is] my duty to say this: any use of nuclear weapons
of any yield--small, medium or whatever--against 
Russia or its allies will be regarded as a nuclear attack
against our country. Retaliation will be instant with all the
ensuing consequences".

National Security Advisor Patrushev.

The second, delivered in Israel to a much-ballyhooed tripartite conference of Russia, America and Israel is:

"Iran has been and will be an ally and partner of ours, 
with which we have [been] gradually developing ties for
quite some time, both bilaterally and multilaterally."

The Jerusalem Post gets the idea. The headline is:

RUSSIA SWEARS IRAN IS ITS ALLY, AFTER TRILATERAL MEETING WITH PM, BOLTON

As Bernhard of Moon of Alabama points out, Iran holds the upper hand. With its back against the wall, it will not back down unless Trump undoes the damage wrought by the sanctions and the breaking of the nuke deal. Iran will drive the price of oil up to two hundred dollars and above, imploding the global economy, and there’s nothing Trump can do about it.

 

Father of a lie

Lies and more lies

Below are some links to must read articles that delve deeper into the Iranian tanker incident. Often the truth is only found in the alternative media although sometimes the comments under the articles can be abrasive and often rude or down right racist some of the comments carry useful insights…..here is one such comment:

Summary

  1. A torpedo becomes a mine, and is now possibly a flying object
  2. The USA, who everyone knows is wanting to start a war, releases a blurred and grainy video of a boat (could be any boat) next to a ship (could be any ship). Where is the evidence that this is the ship that was attacked? Where’s the smoke or charring?
  3. Several dozen people on board the boat. Are these the sailors being rescued by the Iranians, and if so, isn’t removing a mine in front of witness rather stupid?
  4. Why place a mine above the waterline where it can be easily seen, instead of BELOW the waterline?
  5. When & where do you place the mine? When the ship is out at sea (and can be seen) or when it’s at port (in UAE and Saudi)? Either way, how can you place a mine and not be seen? Surely carrying a mine around a busy port would invite some questions?
  6. In any crime there has to be Motive, Means and Opportunity. Whilst Iran may technically have the means, being one of the most spied on countries on earth limits opportunity. As to motive, how idiotic would it be to do something like this knowing that the USA, Israel and Saudi are itching for an excuse to start a fight? Rather like Syrians ‘gassing’ the terrorists right after the Syrian army has made significant gains, and inviting USA freedom missiles to rain down on their heads.
  7. Houthi (supposed) proxies have been quick to claim retaliatory attacks on Saudi pipelines and airports. If this is indeed them, why the silence in this case?

So in summary, this is another idiotic WMD false flag event.

Partisanship?

This blog is not partisan to either Israel, Iran  or the USA.  We stand against hypocrisy and lies.  Iran is a Shia Muslim community and it is under sharia law. It is an imperfect society and has many flaws. It reserves the right to self-defense and should not have war thrust upon it. Iran inherited the legacy of ancient Persia and on the whole treats its Jews and Christian communities with respect.  Israel is a Zionist state that has returned in unbelief, it has demonstrated itself to be belligerent and aggressive and religious Talmudists are intolerant. America is a world Empire controlling the reserve currency Petro dollar (“In God we Trust”) it has become morally corrupt, controlled by special interests and promotes the welfare warfare industry of the deep state. Within this paradigm Christian-Zionists form the “mouth piece”  for special interests and shamefully align themselves with the king of this world.

Debunking the narrative

How do these people think?

The above image (large version) shows the weakness in the narrative. Most people will believe what they are told because “the lady on the TV news said it was true”.  It is obvious that the general public is treated with contempt and the powers that be don’t even try very hard anymore to construct a plausible narrative. It has become blatant and in your face.

Karl Rove (George W. Bush’s senior advisor and chief political strategist. On February 8, 2005, Rove was appointed deputy chief of staff in charge of policy) is a good example of how these people think:

 

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based
community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions 
emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and
murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. 
He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore.
" He continued "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create 
our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, 
as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you
can study too, and that's how things will sort out. 
We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be 
left to just study what we do." [1]

All politicians operate within an Orwellian nimbus
where words don't mean what they normally mean,
but Rovism posits that there is no objective,
verifiable reality at all. Reality is what you say it is, ...[2]

Reality is what you say it is…

No it is not.  You will face the reality of Judgement Day and will realize that truth and justice are absolute and they are What God says it is.  In the meantime this blog will will employ truth and satire to expose the lies. Israel will have no peace until they return to God. They cannot “create their own reality”.  All war mongers will be punished whether they be Jew or Gentile as will all who make and worship a lie.
