The Hormuz Hypothesis – What If the U.S. Navy Isn’t in a Hurry to Reopen the Strait?
By Captain John Konrad (Opinion) – The Strait of Hormuz is twenty-one miles wide. Two shipping channels, each two miles across, separated by a two-mile buffer. There is no alternative....
Very interesting analysis. I was looking at this as choking China's cheap oil supply, but it is so much more than that.
The very strait that was being held for ransom to get everyone to comply with Globalist agenda, now being held hostage to dismantle the Globalist agenda.
Brilliant.
Yes ..this was a brilliant analysis ✨
China stocked up fully on oil last year. Reserve tanks are full. They are not currently affected.
Of our oil own reserve giving by Bidan
And israel is in on it?
Israel is a puppet state, that Trump has taken control of it. He is using it to help with the Iran war. We will soon reach the point where Israel's interest and MAGA interest in Iran diverges (when regime change happens). Thats when we will see Israeli deep state exposed.
I read through it.
TLDR
There is a big play going on. Control petroleum and control the world.
Personal comment. Petroleum is the only resource that really matters. It is far more important than gold, silver, coal, wind energy, or solar energy.
Modern civilization is built upon the management and utilization of energy. For more than a century, the source of that energy has been oil, with nuke, solar, etc. being bit players. The FUTURE is Fusion. TMTG just bought a company who has the best fusion tech available for commercialization. The geopolitics and domestic politics of oil is 'in transition'. Buckle in. It's gonna be a wild ride....
I got some way different.
Use petroleum to:
create a crisis for EU (real enemies) and other nations. Happening now
BREAK the corrupt global crude pricing SCAM - a direct attack on CoL (Brent). Happening now.
BIG ONE. Capture global maritime shipping, including insurance, ship building and more. Future leverage.
LFG!!
Coal is pretty useful. The rest of it, not.
Coal's energy density is a little more than half of petroleum. Multiple products can be produced from petroleum, unlike coal. Petroleum is also much easier to transport. You can even run petroleum through a pipeline.
I'm not saying coal isn't useful, but petroleum is far more useful.
Username... doesn't check out. 😂 But I do agree, no oil, we all die.
My username is not based on the solar power you’re thinking of.
I didn't think it was, but it was hard not to notice the contrast, when we're talking about oil.
Correct, everybody needs oil
This makes a lot of sense. I've noticed we are not in a hurry to open the strait.
I agree 100%
Why would we be? The US doesn’t need oil that passes through the strait, we have plenty here at home.
Now, the EU, that’s a different story.
This is a good strategy so we stop trafficking and drugs all over the world, deep state can’t function without oil.
Excellent read. Thank you for posting. 🤓
Good stuff. All those ship dots on the Gulf maps make sense now. Trump is a chess player. It shows.
WOW!!! Excellent read!
And next is another evergreen to get stuck in the Suez. That would crank up the pressure even more.
JUST WHEN I thought I kinda had a handle on this topic I realize I should have learnt to play CHESS better!. This is 6d chess again. So CLEVER.
I read the whole article, but would someone be willing to translate it so a 5 year old could understand?
Trump is going to get his way again on everything because the US Navy now holds the Strait of Hormuz and we’re slow walking sweeping for mines and escorts. No European country has a navy that can do what we’re doing right now.
EU oil is going through the roof because their supplies are running low and the strait is now closed/under US command. Global oil is fracturing - pricing is not going to be the same everywhere which is a good thing- no more single area conflict causing huge rise in price everywhere.
London thought that they were going to squeeze money out of everyone when they said no insurance, Trump just showed the world that they’re not needed and that they’ve been gouging the world.
Thank you for that summary.
Is Trump thinking we need to have an additional supply route so that we're not so dependent on the Strait of Hormuz?
We don’t need the Strait of Hormuz. We have plenty of oil of our own. EU depends on the Strait.
No coincidence that stylized G in the captain logo looks like a Q.
Good article.
Essentially, UK & Europe have their nuts in a vice because they can't back up their verbal diarrhea with their own naval ships... and all their base are belong to us until they back off the green new scam and register their oil tankers in the US... give or take. Resolution on opening up the Strait to get energy shipments through is set to: mozy, will see and maybe we'll get around to it someday. They're being squeezed... and we've got the 20 foot long torque wrench...
Explained
By George, I think he has nailed it.
This could be fun to watch from many aspects.
California will be fun to watch. $150 oil will probably go to $200 oil and then a scramble for any imported oil.
Three thumbs up!
Fascinating. There are several dots mentioned in the article, that are goo additions, others that require further scrutiny.
A fractured oil price .....
I don't think it is a bad thing per sé. I think it is only correct to apply the real costs to where they should fall. An if countries cannot hold up their own trousers by a belt, but in addition need suspenders as well .... I would argue that Frank's observation in Once upon a Time in the West hols true:
If countries can only survive thanks to subvention by piggy banking on producers, perhaps those countries are in dire need of a sea change [ mare-chaussee?] in their priorities.
I refer back to this post on global money. I think it is worth considering. Why? Because, as the above article points out: one global price is detrimental. It is basically, the Colonial extraction system.
In terms of money, two factors:
The Goldstandard was one such mechanism. Centralization of insurance is another, by taking stakes into each others companies.
Think the model: Staple Street has a stake in Black Rock an Vanguard. Black Rock has a stake in Vanguard an Staple Street. Vanguard has a stake in both Staple street and Black Rock. A nice circle jerk. Insurance is no different. This way, policy can be influenced under the guise of shareholder value / benefit.
When companies globally do the same thing, it usually means: there is no actual competition. Not a real marketplace. No real freedom to contract and take risks.
To break that stranglehold, now here is where 5 chess does come in. In essence, whatever the globalist say, do the opposite. A bit like with that Jim Cramer guy ....
What if POTUS is not only keeping supplies in, but what if he’s trying to keep select people in?
Meanwhile back at the ranch gas prices continue to rise.....and the speculators that drive it get richer. Breaking strongholds, but who breaks first ? No answer required.
yeah no reason for our gasoline to go up a buck per gallon when we have no actual energy shortage or risk!!
I'm not sure there is a good and a bad side to any of this for the general population. Either way it goes in the elite sectors we just keep paying more . While the battle for dominance rages the price is always paid by the people . That elusive relief never realized.
Nice find, EchoLight.
He doesn't mention Ukraine as a concession from Europe, something I assumed, but he has a lot of great info and it resolved many small mysteries.
I actually found it in this article’s comments section:

COMPLICATED BUSINESS
yes, this is a very long read but IMO worth the time. thx for posting!!!
This is about the most logical assessment of the M.E. Gulf Oil situation of any I've seen so far. Makes me wonder if he's had a convo or two with Trump or his Maritime Advisory Board because it doesnt take much to come to the conclusions this ship captain has figured out if you logically analyze it from the Trump maritime strategy viewpoint.
Staving off the inevitable is about the dumbest thing any corporation could ever do, so, why do they keep following that logic line? It's especially stupid once it's realized that almost all major leverage points have already been rug pulled out from under the corporations. Every industry relying on relatively cheap oil has just been zugzwanged and they either haven't realized it yet (highly unlikely) or theyre just using the same tired old paradigms that mid-century logic dictated after WWII. It's like we have every major corporation being run by infants and toddlers. Only infants and toddlers (and young, narcisstic, manipulative feminist women) cry and pitch fits when they don't get what they want. And there aren't any major corporations ran by young feminist women.
The Deep State and corporate cabalite entities really are nothing more than a bunch of self entitled, spoiled, materialistic, narcissistic, manipulative infantile suckas. It's sad that a relative few in the world see this. It's even sadder that it takes a post retirement Boomer like Trump to point this out to everyone.
Side note: not trying to offend you Boomers. Just trying to point out that Gen X's apathy toward the world has fucked us globally when what we should've done is taken the bull by the horns and applied everything we've learned over the past 50+ yrs and applied it globally. I'm ashamed to admit that we've royally screwed up as a generation and even more ashamed to admit that, as a generation, we've allowed ourselves to become entirely too jadedly complacent as a result.
With all of this maritime talk, I have to wonder whether there are some underlying comms here. Don't forget that US law and courts are based on maritime law, which also stems from the UK. Something to think about here. All roads are leading back to Britain.
Who is this "Iran" who has not been blown to smithereens and is still able to order attacks on ships.
Way too many spelling errors all throughout for me to take this seriously.
Would building the Ben Gurion canal be an option.
Reading this article makes me reevaluate the anger I had when I filled up my gas tank. I had to pay an extra $5 yesterday. If that’s what it takes for Trump to get control…I’m ok with that. Yes, I realize that rising gas will affect the cost of everything. However, after living through Obama, this will be nothing.
