🚨 $7 BILLION WARSHIP DEAL SIGNED BETWEEN AUSTRALIA & JAPAN Australia and Japan have officially signed contracts for a $7B naval deal, marking Japan’s biggest military export since lifting its ban in 2014. The ships are designed for submarine hunting, air defence, and surface combat to protect key trade routes across the Indian and Pacific Oceans, where China's military footprint is expanding.

Will we fight for the people who fight for freedom? Who fight for us? Or will we sit in the peanut gallery and be entertained while hoping not to offend corrupt oligarchs and pedophiles? We are in "nut cutting" time. Either we fight for the people fighting for us and we play to win or we will lose everything that matters WHEN THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN. This is a unique time in history - full of a great opportunity for each of us to make a difference. Let's rise to the occasion!

Massie didn't side with Democrats, he sided with the Constitution. Article I gives Congress the power to declare war, not blank checks to any President. Same stand he's taken for years, under Obama, Biden, and Trump. Real America First means no forever wars without a vote. 🇺🇸 #StandWithMassie

Sage advice from world's top economist.

US locking up the Gibraltar Strait? Hormuz, Panama Canal, Strait of Malacca, the trade war is moving into intense war for control of the sea lanes that is playing out on the ground and in the financial, legal and regulatory system

23.2 million barrels of oil per day flow through the Strait of Malacca. 80% of China's crude oil imports pass through it. The US just locked down a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership with the country that controls its southern shoreline. Hegseth hosted Indonesia's Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin at the Pentagon today and announced the elevation to a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership — a framework covering military modernization, joint special forces training, co-development of asymmetric and autonomous weapons systems, expanded maritime exercises, and subsurface capabilities. The two countries already run 170+ joint military exercises per year. This deal upgrades all of it. The geography is what matters. The Strait of Malacca runs between Indonesia's Sumatra island and the Malay Peninsula. It's 800 kilometers long, 1.7 miles wide at its narrowest point, and 23 meters deep at its shallowest. 82,000 vessels transit it annually. $3.5 trillion in global trade — roughly one-third of total worldwide trade — passes through this single waterway every year. For China, this isn't a trade route. It's an oxygen tube. China consumes 15 million barrels of oil per day and imports most of it by sea. 83% of those imports transit the Strait of Malacca. China also receives roughly 16% of global LNG supply through the same corridor. Hu Jintao named this vulnerability the "Malacca Dilemma" back in 2003. It's been China's single biggest strategic anxiety for over two decades. The math on a hypothetical blockade is devastating. If the Strait of Malacca were closed, ships would need to reroute through the Lombok or Sunda Straits — adding days and enormous cost to every voyage. The EIA estimates nearly half the world's shipping fleet would need to reroute. The alternative routes are shallower, harder to navigate, and lack infrastructure. China has tried to build around this vulnerability — the Myanmar-China oil pipeline, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor through Gwadar, pipelines from Kazakhstan and Russia — but none of these alternatives come close to replacing the volume that flows through Malacca. Now zoom out and look at the board. The Strait of Hormuz — the world's most critical energy chokepoint at 20.9 million barrels per day — is currently under active disruption following US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Traffic through Hormuz has collapsed from 138 commercial ships daily to near-zero on some days in March. The Bab el-Mandeb and Suez Canal have been half-shut since 2023 from Houthi attacks, with traffic dropping from 26,000 vessels in 2023 to 13,000 in 2024. Now the US is formally deepening its military partnership with the country that controls access to the world's largest oil transit chokepoint by volume. The strategic picture isn't subtle. The US is systematically securing or influencing every major maritime chokepoint on the planet. Hormuz through direct military presence and Gulf alliances. Suez and Bab el-Mandeb through naval operations. The Panama Canal through diplomatic and economic leverage. And now Malacca through Indonesia. China knows exactly what this means. It's why they've been building the String of Pearls — port facilities across the Indian Ocean from Myanmar to Pakistan to Sri Lanka to Djibouti. It's why Belt and Road exists. It's why they're developing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Every one of those investments is an attempt to build alternatives to maritime routes that the US Navy can shut down. The Indonesia deal doesn't change the military balance overnight. Indonesia has a long tradition of non-alignment and strategic autonomy — Jakarta already clarified that the circulating agreement is still a draft under internal review, not a final binding document. But the signal is the message. The US is telling Beijing: we're embedding ourselves deeper into the geography that controls your energy lifeline. The Malacca Dilemma isn't a theory anymore. It's a signed partnership agreement sitting on the Pentagon's desk.

@WeRAmerica2022 Thank you!

🚫There are three fake accounts for Catherine Austin Fitts here on X. 🚫It's quite obvious but I had Grok confirm this. 🚫They run scams under listed email addresses. 🚫BEWARE! Report & Block.

Another great one from @jstylman The Enemy Is Not Each Other, by @jstylman open.substack.com/pub/stylman/p/…

@Shirl3yBell @HatsOffff Sounds like you might be looking at one of the imposter accounts

@HatsOffff Finding out on the same day that Catherine Austin Fitts and Professor Marandi are on the wrong side how disappointing.

Professor Marandi tells Breaking Points that Trump is dragging down the global economy on behalf of Netanyahu

A Mexican Refinery has just exploded. The spontaneous combustibility of oil refineries must be caused by some sort of contagious virus❗️ Let’s all lockdown and obey the evening news❗️

“Whatever you think of Massie’s libertarian-leaning conservative politics, his defeat would send a chill through Congress. He’s one of a few Republican members who has taken his oath of office seriously” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

This is the anatomy of a ruling class that stopped building and started extracting. While China converted trade surpluses into plant, process, scale, and technological command, much of the American corporate class converted industrial inheritance into buybacks, bonuses, leverage, and excuses. They confused financial engineering for competence and governance theatre for strategy. The result: productive capacity bled out, dual-use industrial depth weakened, and the very executives who presided over the decay were rewarded for it. What AquaVis is describing is not some mysterious civilisational accident. It is a man-made transfer of power from the physical economy to the paper one, and from there, inevitably, to the states willing to take industry seriously. It’s the core of the cancer that overtook the west

Music of the Week: April 17, 2026: Christopher Cross – Sailing @itsMrCross Few songs capture a sense of calm escape quite like “Sailing,” the soft-rock classic by Christopher Cross. Released in 1980, the song quickly became synonymous with tranquility, painting a vivid picture of drifting away from the worries and noise of everyday life—sailing the ocean of a peaceful mind. Christopher Cross had a remarkable rise to fame with his self-titled debut album. In fact, he made history at the 1981 Grammy Awards by winning the “Big Four” categories—Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist—all in the same night. “Sailing” played a major role in that success, earning both Record and Song of the Year.

BREAKING: Dozens of victims of Jeffrey Epstein have filed a lawsuit against former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of helping conceal critical details during the earlier handling of the Epstein investigation. Leading the lawsuit is Maria Farmer—one of the first women to publicly accuse Epstein—along with a group of survivors who say they have collectively spent more than $1.1 million to pursue the case in search of accountability. The plaintiffs argue that key decisions made during the original case allowed Epstein to avoid more serious charges for years, raising troubling questions about whether influential figures helped shield him from justice. The lawsuit has quickly drawn widespread public attention and support, with many viewing it as a long-overdue effort to uncover the truth and hold powerful individuals accountable. If the case moves forward, it could reveal significant new information about how the Epstein investigation was handled—and whether opportunities for justice were deliberately missed.
