THE STRAIT DOPE
First, Trump is NOT stopping Iranian-related shipping. Recent shipping data from Vortexa, Lloyd’s List, and outlets like WSJ and Reuters confirm multiple tankers transited the strait with minimal disruption, contrasting Trump’s public claims that the measure is crippling Iran’s finances at $500 million daily in losses.
It is IRAN that is in charge - HEADLINE: “Iran’s IRGC Seizes Two Ships in the Strait of Hormuz - News From Antiwar.com” LINK MORE
But remember, Trump says the US is in the “Driver’s Seat” here… Here is Zerohedge on Iran being smart not to be too ready to negotiate with the US thug patrol:
But, don’t worry at all about supply shocks. The US banking-political-arms-maker gang says all is fine.
Meanwhile, perhaps Trump will push up oil and gas import prices so high, domestic fracking will become more attractive than it has looked at its price level… How nice (wink- sarcasm)
Have no fear!! Trump told everyone the US is brimming with more arms!
Money for the MI:
Everything cool - War spending is really, really good for living standards. (wink)
But someone else also is making cash…
More short-selling by insiders in the last few days…
The US Iraq relationship is splitting further, thanks to the US attack on Iran generating support in for Iran in Iraq Headline “Report: US Increasing the Pressure on Iraq to Reduce Ties With Iran - News From Antiwar.com” LINK
And… The US has suspended cooperation and funding for Iraq’s security forces (including counterterrorism coordination, training, and financial support) until Iraq forms a new government. Iraqi officials told The New York Times this was explicitly tied to demands that Baghdad dismantle Iran-backed militias “attacking US interests” (how quaint of the US occupiers and mafia).
Reports (including from The National and WSJ references) say the US has halted shipments of physical US dollars to Iraq. These dollars are proceeds from Iraq’s oil sales, which the US controls via accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (a legacy of the 2003 invasion). One shipment worth hundreds of millions was reportedly blocked. Iraq’s Central Bank denied a full cutoff, but the pressure tactic is real
and has been used before. LINK!
The fake notion that Iranians slaughter Americans, and that the nation of Iran has been aggressive towards the US since 1979 - Larry Johnson has some key thoughts on that and John Brennan.

ISRAEL-TURKEY
Is Israel intent on toppling the govt of Turkey, breaking up the state, as the US and Israel did with Syria and are trying to do with Iran? Headline: “The chance of a Türkiye-Israel war has never been more real — RT World News” LINK
US-MEXICO-DRUGS-CIA
Recent reports (published yesterday and today) confirm that two U.S. CIA operatives were killed in a car crash in northern Mexico this past weekend while participating in a counter-narcotics operation. (LINK) The incident occurred in the state of Chihuahua (near the U.S. border). The two Americans, along with two Mexican state investigators from the Chihuahua State Investigation Agency, died when their vehicle skidded off a mountain road, plunged into a ravine, and exploded as they were returning from helping destroy several clandestine drug laboratories (producing synthetic/chemical drugs linked to cartels). Initially, U.S. and Mexican authorities described the Americans as “U.S. Embassy staff” or “instructors” involved in routine training or binational cooperation. However, multiple U.S. officials later confirmed to major outlets that they were CIA operatives participating in a ground-level raid. This has sparked controversy in Mexico. LINK
President Claudia Sheinbaum has ordered a federal investigation into whether the operation violated Mexico’s constitution or national security laws (federal approval for U.S. involvement is normally required; this appears to have involved state-level forces without full federal coordination).
ECONOMY
Hey, remember learning about the US Constitution? Remember how the cats who wrote it and claimed power over other people set some limits, so called? Remember how they installed an amendment process to add or subtract claims of power? And recall how they ENUMERATED what each branch could do, and how? Well, it seems that few people are bothered by Trump again declaring an “emergency”, this time, about fuel. Some MAGA-ites do a spin on the M.O. of previous Presidents, such as Joe Biden, who declared “Climate” a “national emergency” (the Constitution offers no “power” to declare anything an “emergency” that the Pres unilaterally can “handle”), and claim that there is a “national security” (again, defined however they want to define it) aspect to this, so they think that gives them cover, which is false. No. April 20, Trump invoked the Defense Production Act (note, there is no War, so what would be the constitutional pretext? - There isn’t one…) to expand domestic petroleum, refining, natural gas, and related infrastructure capacity. This was framed in headlines as declaring a “national gas emergency” (or national emergency over gas) in response to surging gas prices caused by oil market disruptions from the ongoing Iran conflict and issues in the Strait of Hormuz. He referenced his earlier, broader “national energy emergency” declaration from January 20, 2025 (his first day in office), but the specific gas-focused actions and White House documents tied to this announcement are dated April 20, 2026. News coverage (e.g., Express, Newsweek) appeared the following day, confirming the timing… LINK

Well, the positive news about the new Hungarian PM quickly has turned into negative news, as the country’s govt just reversed its vote against the EU handing Ukraine 90 BILLION EUROS to Ukraine, based on “multi-lateral” European states backing the loan. Last year, the ECB balked at doing the move itself, and the “compromise” saw the EU vote to have member states pitch in, from their own debt-riddled, central-bank inflated, systems. Here is the RT headline: “EU envoys approve €90 billion Ukraine loan after Hungary lifts veto — RT World News” LINK The EU leaders want that money to come back to their nations in arms purchases and other buys from their corporate cronies.
AND… Russia just had to sell a buncha gold. Headline “Russia has already sold 22 tonnes of gold this year amid declining ruble, rising deficits | Kitco News” LINK
IMMIGRATION POLICE STATE MEETS HIPAA
Recall how we have been able to show from looking at the actual statute (pages 74-95) that the HIPAA “medical privacy” act actually claims for the feds the power to get your medical data? Here is a news report about a man kidnapped by the immigration good teams (in this case, FBI was involved, as well) and getting a man’s medical data while he was in the hospital due to the government attack on him. Curiously, the news reporter, like so many, writes under the false impression that HIPAA protects the man’s privacy. HIPAA is a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, but only a few legal scholars discuss it, as far as I’ve seen in my career covering and lecturing on political economics. Headline: “Did CA hospital release ICE shooting patient’s medical records without consent?” LINK
AND more Immigration Police State evil… Headline “Elderly Irishman deported from US to Costa Rica” LINK
ASK JARED?
And… Do you think they will succeed in nailing him down?
Key, from ERIC PETERS LINK
FINALLY - NOAH’S ARK DISCOVERY CLAIMS RETURN
What do you think? Headline: “Researcher claims Noah’s Ark tunnels found in Turkey scans, sending robot next | Fox News” LINK
