It is starting to look as if the Hormuz crisis may be abating, with the US calling off its ill starred project to 'guide' ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

The talk now is of the US proposing a deal whereby Iran would agree to a 'moratorium' on uranium enrichment (for how long exactly?), which if true (far from certain) implies that Iran would actually retain some sort of control or possession of its existing stockpile. In return the US would agree to lift sanctions (in whole or in part?).

BROOKLYN RALLY DEMANDS: FREE NICOLAS MADURO AND CILIA FLORES
-People rallied outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, to demand freedom for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores. They were kidnapped in Caracas by Trump C and the Pentagon on Jan. 3 and flown to New York.
-Over 100 Venezuelans and Cubans were killed in the attack. Four months later, these leaders of the Bolivarian Republic remain locked up in MDC Brooklyn, a federal jail notorious for overcrowding and abuse.
-“No boots on the ground, no bombs in the air! U.S. out of everywhere” was chanted. Protesters said the chants could be heard inside the prison.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
