[0:00]All the armchair generals on social media miss the big picture in the Mideast because they don't understand economics. Donald Trump has made the United States energy independent. Now he is out to break the city of London's centuries old control of the price of energy. And with it their power over the world economy, including our own. By force if necessary. Here's what he posted Saturday night on Truth Social. If Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first. That put all the key players on the line, the delusional Iranian government and the 23 nations who have pledged to defend the Strait of Hormuz, now have a deadline. The 23 have started to move assets into the region. The Iranians had to come to the table. The media, of course, went hysterical. The Financial Times relied on International Crisis Group, a Soros funded globalist think tank, to declare that the world is headed to quote, catastrophic disaster as the result of the President's tweet. This morning, he announced that Iran was at the table and productively negotiated. He extended the deadline by five days. The press are all mouthpieces for London and Wall Street, and the city of London is in the deepest crisis in its history as the result of the President's actions. I'm Barbara Boyd and I've followed the Globalist Great Game ever since 1971, when the modern petrodollar British Financial Empire was born. Today we'll first take up three stories. First, what's happening to the city of London domestically and strategically? Second, how London has prevented Middle East peace and economic development until now? And third, how Trump is following in the footsteps of Franklin Delano Roosevelt by ending London's control of the Middle East. But before we dig in, please like and share this video. It increases our reach on YouTube. Now, while everyone was debating Trump's tweet, the city of London declared an economic emergency. Prime Minister Kier Starmer has called an emergency cabinet meeting with Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey to address soaring energy costs, which are hitting British households very, very hard. Government borrowing costs surged past 5% Friday for the first time since July 2008. Remember that date, the Lehman Brothers crash? That was the beginning of the last great financial crisis hitting. One cabinet source told GB News there is deep gloom in both Treasury and number 10. The modern British Empire can't survive without the US military enforcing its strategic goals, and it can't survive without Gulf oil states parking their wealth in London. But those states are moving their money to Trump's United States and have joined his Board of Peace to end the region's permanent religious warfare. Gulf governments have pledged 4 trillion in investment to the US since Trump returned to office. The UAE alone reaffirmed its 1.4 trillion commitment this week. And they're all in the board of peace, aiming to economically develop the Mideast along with nuclear and other modern energy resources. Starmer's paralysis in this circumstance is so obvious that it became a global joke on Saturday night. Saturday Night Live London mocked it. Trump posted this clip to his Truth Social. Europe is also suddenly confronting the consequences of two catastrophic British Imperial projects, green energy and Ukraine. Here's Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever, breaking openly with the entire EU last week. Quote, we must normalize relations with Russia and regain access to cheap energy. That is common sense. In private, European leaders agree with me, but no one dares to say it out loud. And on Ukraine, given that we are unable to pressure Putin by sending weapons to Ukraine and cannot suffocate his economy without US support, only one method remains: making a deal. This is the entire post-war Imperial architecture cracking at the seams simultaneously because of decisions made in Washington over the past 60 days. Which takes us next to the transformation nobody in the media is covering. But if you're seeing a picture here that the media never provides, you need to be reading Promethean Action's newsletter. We cover the real battlefield, the fight between empire and sovereign nations every week. You can sign up right now at PrometheanAction.com. Now, here is what the armchair generals are missing entirely. Iran did not close the straight with a naval blockade. It fired a handful of drones. And that was enough because the real choke point is not the straight. The real choke point is the city of London's insurance and oil pricing monopoly. Lloyds of London has operated for 337 years and sits at the apex of the world's war risk marine insurance market. Without that insurance, the ships don't move. In every prior crisis, the eight-year Iran-Iraq tanker war, the 1990 Gulf War, the 2012 standoff when Iran threatened to close the straight, Lloyd's never canceled war risk coverage. They raised premiums, but the ships kept moving. On March 2nd, for the first time in 337 years, they canceled. Straight traffic collapsed 81% in a week. And Chatham House, the city of London's own Imperial Foreign Policy Think Tank, tells us why. They say that the continuing Iranian war shows the Gulf states that they should no longer rely on America for security guarantees. The deliberate attacks on the Gulf States by Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the City of London's insurers are meant to drive the Gulf States back towards London's orbit. They're also an obvious economic attack on the President's economic progress here at home ahead of the critical midterm elections. And London has tried to destroy Trump's candidacies at every turn, starting with MI6 agent Christopher Steele and Russiagate. Until recently, the British also controlled world energy geography. Take the Strait of Hormuz as an example. It is 39 km wide at its narrowest. Iran controls the north. The southern shipping lanes run through the territorial waters of Oman. Oman is the living residue of the British Empire. In 1970, MI6 engineered the installation of its Sultan. Today, GCHQ runs three signals intelligence bases in Oman, Timpani, Guitar, Clarinette. Intercepting everything that passes through Hormuz. British Intelligence listens to every ship that moves through the world's most critical energy choke point from bases in the country whose government it installed. And as we all learned recently, the announced but very invisible new Iranian leader has over 130 million in London real estate. That's typical of the old order. Now, this has happened before. On February 14th, 1945, Franklin Roosevelt stopped in the Great Bitter Lake in the Suez Canal and received King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia aboard the USS Quincy. He did it secretly without telling Churchill. After Roosevelt told Congress these exact words, I learned more about the whole problem of Arabia, the Moslems and the Jewish problem in five minutes by talking with Ibn Saud than I could have learned in exchange of two or three dozen letters. Churchill was furious. Roosevelt had promised him the US would not interfere in the British sphere of influence and broke that promise deliberately. His translator, Colonel Eddy, recorded the Churchill, quote, burned up the wires to all his diplomats in the area, demanding appointments with the Arab monarchs the moment Roosevelt had left. Churchill rushed to meet Ibn Saud himself. The contrast was devastating. Ibn Saud told Eddy, Churchill speaks deviously, evades understanding, changes the subject to avoid commitment. The President seeks understanding. His effort is to make the two minds meet. I have never met the equal of the President in character, wisdom, and gentility. Churchill's meeting failed and the US-Saudi relationship has flourished ever since. Ibn Saud's discussion of Roosevelt is very similar to how the Gulf States now describe Donald Trump. So, let's see what we have here. Roosevelt started to cut out the Imperial middleman and world energy production in 1945. By 1971, London had inserted itself back in. America became the military muscle behind a resource looting system whose profits ran through the City of London and Wall Street. You cannot have a genuine American economic revolution or real sovereignty if someone else is setting the price of energy. The Treasury Department has physically increased the supply of oil and gas worldwide in the last two weeks, unsanctioning Russian oil, unsanctioning certain Iranian oil, getting worldwide agreements to release reserves. Not only that, Iran is allowing tankers through the straight for India, China, and Japan, Iran's main customers. So, the straight is not physically closed, oil supplies are safe, but the straight is financially closed by the city of London and it's desperate effort to remain alive as a world power. We don't know the outcome because it is a war and the psy war is running at a higher level than either we're seeing it. But we can know the principles the President is fighting for, and those principles make this a just war, which we have to win. At Promethean Action, we're dedicated to ferreting out the real strategic picture as much as we can by focusing on the physical economic side of events. Not many do that. We need to expand.
