Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

[Ruth]

I've seen a couple of mentions and predictions on X that if the conflict continues and Strait of Hormuz is for the most part restricted for shipping to get through that the war will be used as an excuse to implement 'energy shortage lockdowns'.

The Strait of Hormuz is a choke point for oil export that Iran can control very easily due to it's proximity. They can either bomb ships or mining the area. Some ships have got through, either because they belong to strategic allies of Iran, or their crew belongs to the same religion. Apparently they get a "pass".

Questions are being asked why The US DIDN'T build an oil stockpile prior to their military action.... One of the potential answers to that would be that they didn't anticipate that this would take so long, or that Iran would fight back..... and be able to sustain their resistance. Maybe their "intelligence" was lacking, or perhaps came from only one country? The fact is that those running this war in America don't appear to be very good at it, since they anticipate nothing, and respond to only Israel.

Wishful thinking. Seeing only what they want to see.

A: As expected. Wishful thinking is a fatal flaw.

Q: (Joe) Fatal flaw for...?

A: 4D STS and their minions.

Q: (Joe) So does that relate specifically to this war that Israel and the U.S. just launched?

A: Yes

The o-o-old jumping out of the plane without a parachute trick!

It was a turbulent night for Israel, with a barrage of rockets (perhaps around a hundred – multiple impacts) launched from Lebanon. Heavy retaliatory strikes followed.

And this morning we learned that Iran has hacked Israeli railway infrastructure throughout the country.

Ships continue to be attacked in the Strait of Hormuz; no US vessels are in sight to escort them, and they are undoubtedly fearing heavy losses if they get too close.

Meanwhile, Putin's envoy, Dmitriev, traveled to the US to meet with Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Florida to discuss the follow-up to the Putin/Trump phone call of the previous day as I understand it.

So far, there are no signs of a lull in the fighting.
I will therefore continue to follow the advice of the C's: Pray without ceasing.

I think they imagined that WE wouldn't see what they were up to, either! They have ended up looking completely ridiculous, to the point where some of their own citizens are actively rooting for Iran. That was certainly unexpected. Although they could be bots, I suppose. It's what I'm seeing on YouTube chat.

What's even worse is they expect US service men and women to do it too! They are even talking about re-instating the Draft!

It's interesting that Iran is bombing U.S. interests in neighbor countries that have good relationships with Russia. Iran says Azerbaijan, Turkey and Cyprus attacks were false flag operations by Israel. Their strikes are overall very well on target, which speaks of good technology available.

Some necessary cleansing going on.

Secret Drone base in Georgia (by Israel)

According to Victor-Hogo Vaca Jr. (Journalist, stationed in Russia) who was interviewed by Redacted yesterday, saying that Israel operated/operates a secret drone base in Georgia (within an UNESCO site), which explains the false flags committed in Azerbaijan and Turkey, pretending it to be Iran.

Yep, seems they’ve already snuck authorization into the latest NDAA:

As often happens, the NDAA bill contains some of the worst language of all legislation. This year is no different, with language slipped into the bill that automatically and involuntarily registers young men for the military draft. With the war in Iran escalating and talks of troops needed.

Bunch a War Pigs

Here's an article by Larry Johnson that gives some idea of the countries that are the most vulnerable, and the ones that are the most insulated.

Aviation and shipping. Aviation fuel costs would make large swaths of commercial aviation economically unviable. Shipping freight rates, already elevated by fuel costs, would compound broader supply chain disruption.

Maybe what Cs said about flights being grounded in the future is connected to the coming oil prices. Wait and see.

Ships continue to be attacked in the Strait of Hormuz; no US vessels are in sight to escort them, and they are undoubtedly fearing heavy losses if they get too close.

Yesterday, three ships were targeted: One Majesty (Japan), Mayuree Naree severely damaged (Thailand) and Star Gwyneth (China).

Maritime historian Sal Mercoliano has a series of quite educating videos on what's going on with the Strait of Hormuz.
His latest, addressing the ships attacked and the US escort capabilities:

Two previous ones, also recommended, they are not long, on av. 20 min, but he has good sources and knowledge:

Given that this war is in my view the most heavily censored conflict I've yet to witness, CJ Werleman digs into the possible truth of how it's actually going on the ground level. From what I can tell, the "coalition of the Beast" is not doing as well as the MSM lackeys are trying to convey. I've been checking the headlines on Ha'arretz too, and they've been pretty mealy-mouthed as well.
