WAS it really a case of “300 years of British Crown control over the world’s economic choke point – the Straits of Hormuz – being ended in a day”? Yes, according to American nationalists who maintain British imperial power is still the major force in international politics.
When the Iran-Israel-US war flared up this week, Lloyds of London announced they would cancel insurance for shipping going through the straits. Trump immediately stepped in, announcing that US navy ships would escort ships through the straits and insurance would be provided by the US Development Finance Corporation.
“What you’re watching is an American president who doesn’t need Britain’s permission to strike Iran and doesn’t need Britain’s insurance markets to keep the world’s oil moving – 300 years of Crown control over that choke point broken in a single day,” says Promethean Action’s Susan Kokinda.
Interestingly, we observe UK PM Starmer’s stand-offish response to the Iran attack, along with Macron and the Spanish socialists. Trump had to pressure Starmer to back down an agree to allow the US to use it’s bases including the Indian Ocean island base of Diego Garcia.
Even then, Starmer imposed the condition that they only be used for “defensive purposes”. What is Starmer’s game here? Is he trying to appease his vast numbers of Islamic imports?
And then there is the Israel factor, who as we know, are always on for another Middle Eastern war. It is significant that Israel PM Netanyahu has fled to a safe house in Germany, which suggests that Trump is the real mover and shaker in this operation – contrary to the popular belief that the Zionists are running the show.
As for Starmer, it is clear that he represents the globalist faction with its open-door immigration policies, gender ideology, suppression of political speech and the abolition of fossil fuels – the latter being pure UN Agenda 2030 economic folly that will plunge the world into poverty.
The Australia Labor Party are a mirror image of British Labor and Australia’s Liberal-National Coalition are a mirror of the British Conservatives. London’s influence has lingered long in Australia.
Kokinda says the action against Lloyds of London is “one of the most consequential economic strikes in this entire fight”. In addition Iran’s attacks on its Gulf neighbours “handed Trump a sovereign nation coalition that the old imperial system was designed to prevent”.
So, rather than seeing this conflict as “just another Middle East war”, we should note the absence of the “New World Order” and “Coalition of the Willing” touted by the two Bush family presidents.
