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?). There would also be some form of lifting of the restraints on shipping via the Strait of Hormuz, though again we don't know whether the Iranians would maintain their stance that they have henceforth overall control.

If there is anything truth to any of this then obviously the demands for Iran to give up its ballistic missile programme or abandon its regional allies (the Houthis and Hezbollah) are being abandoned, as are plans for 'cutting off the head of the snake', ie. regime change and all that....

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.

Referring to Prime Minister Netanyahu, the article’s author, Carolina Landsmann articulated a scathing indictment:

“He has managed to destroy everything – everything good, that is. Nothing remains. Absolutely nothing. Our society has been torn apart, the army has disintegrated, the judges are dying of fear, the media has become a reality show, the Knesset has become an insane asylum, and the opposition shares Netanyahu’s view of reality.”

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.
