  • My own current view is the USA's Factions are creating an unnecessary oil and critical commodities shock by using an ineffective embargo on the Straits in practice, which still keeps its many allies and vassals both in-line and deprived, via threat.
  • Even if the USA is, as Brian Berletic argues, directing it primarily at China.
    In a form of Destruction Theory [to prevail by outlasting all others regardless of severe damage]. Vs Planned Destructon [too many useless eaters] which is a secondary benefit to Others of this whole mess.

In Australia, Tommy Robinson is being presented as an English patriot. The fact that he is working for the Zionists who created the wave of immigration is meticulously removed from the news. It is so easy for them to divert the attention of the Australians.

I did some research about the huge explosion last Saturday in Israel. Here is one likely scenario.

The chemical ammonium perchlorate is used as an oxidiser in many rockets. When combined with a reducing agent, this is the propellant for sold-fuel rockets.

It seems both Russia and Iran import the precursor, sodium perchlorate, from China. The explosion in Bandar Abbas in April 2025 was similar

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 !ย 

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 DAYย  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 !!!

ย 

Hope to see you all asap.
