Can someone tell me who benefits if the Strait of Hormuz is blocked? And, should it continue, why the UK would be any way less dependent on US energy imports than it already is? And who benefits from a higher global oil price, priced in dollars?

The "vote for me" scam remains a major ongoing phishing issue on X as of March 16, 2026. It continues to spread through hacked accounts, leading to widespread takeovers where hackers quickly change the email, phone number, and sometimes the handle. This makes standard recovery very difficult or impossible for many users, as X's process relies heavily on those altered details. How the "Vote for Me" Scam Operates Scammers compromise an account (often through earlier phishing, reused passwords from breaches, or credential stuffing). They then use it to send direct messages (DMs) to followers or mutuals. Typical messages include: - "Hey, quick favor! I’m in the running to co-host a major podcast event with Spotify & Google. It’d mean a lot if you could drop a vote for me!" - Or similar urgent pleas like "Vote for me in this podcast/influencer contest before it ends today" with a link. The link (often shortened with X's t[.]co or suspicious domains like .fwh.is, .gt.tc, bestvotees[.]fwh[.]is, or fake voting sites) leads to a phishing page mimicking an X login or voting form. Entering credentials (or sometimes just loading the page) hands over access via stolen passwords, session tokens, or cookies. Once in control: - Hackers change the email and phone to ones they own. - They may add or take over 2FA. - The account starts auto-sending the same DMs to the new victim's network, turning it into a viral chain (like malware propagation). - Some pivot to posting crypto promotions, spam, or other scams. Reports show this has hit everyday users, verified accounts, journalists, coaches, athletes, celebrities, and more throughout early 2026. Victims often wake up to friends warning them or see their own account spamming others. If you get an unauthorized email change notification from verify@x.com early enough, you can sometimes revert it via a provided link, but speed is critical. Key Hacking and Recovery Challenges on X - **Fast alterations** — Hackers prioritize changing email/phone/handle to lock out the owner immediately. - **Recovery barriers** — X's hacked account forms require original contact info for verification. Once changed, appeals often fail or drag on with little response. Many users report repeated submissions with no fix, leading to permanent loss of accounts, content, connections, and features like monetization. - **No strong fallbacks** — There's limited use of immutable identifiers for proof of ownership, so proving "this was my original account" is tough without access to the updated details. - **Spread and scale** — The DM-based trust exploitation (from "friends") makes it highly effective and hard to contain. Even cautious users fall for it occasionally due to the social proof. Plea to Elon Musk and the X Team @elonmusk and @X: This persistent "vote for me" phishing wave and resulting account takeovers are damaging user trust and causing real harm, people are losing years of history, communities, and income with little recourse. The ease of changing core details (email, phone, handle) lets hackers lock owners out permanently, while recovery remains slow and ineffective via email. Please implement stronger safeguards urgently: - Lock the original handle and email used at creation (or allow easy reversion with robust proof). - Add a permanent, unchangeable account ID number visible to the owner for appeals and public, reference, and recovery verification — something hackers can't touch. - Improve hacked account reporting with faster manual reviews, better tools for cases where contact info was altered, and proactive detection of mass DM spam patterns. - Enhance link scanning in DMs to flag/warn about known phishing tactics and domains. - Provide clearer, quicker paths to reverse unauthorized changes. These changes would drastically reduce chain-reaction hacks and help restore confidence. @elonmusk @nikitabier @Safety

Norman's account has been hacked. Twitter are not helping him: "we can't assist you further with accessing your account."

@ClareCraigPath Yes, 'covid' was also a great cure for cancers, circulatory and respiratory deaths. And dementia too:

@profnfenton @MartinNeil9 @RobertKennedyJr Sir; Your conversation herein is vital. I've made it MB accessible for -25MB Email exchange, and for -2:20 timeframe sharing on X. Both of which restrictions stop many sharing truth. Forgive me, I will share and post, 🙏🏻

Norman Fenton's X account @ProfNFenton has been hacked and X have told him that he is "no longer the owner of the account" and they cannot help further.

What people don’t realise is that the debacle over the “covid vaccines” wasn’t caused by a one-off failure of the biopharma regulatory system. The system functioned more or less as it has done for decades, with quite minor deviations. “Covid” just shone a spotlight on it.

@delbigtree 26% in the UK. Here is our correspondence with the BBC about their unvaccinated TV program. We refer to ONS and MHRA data. open.substack.com/pub/whereareth…

These numbers really hit me. 30% of the UK rejected this vaccine. This is the same number as in America, and the same number worldwide. Under the heaviest propaganda campaign in human history - under job threats, social pressure, guilt, and isolation - 30% of the world said no and held the line. We think of 30% as a small number. It isn't. There is zero apathy in that 30%. Every single one of those people made a hard, conscious, costly decision, and they made it completely alone, with no idea their neighbor was doing the exact same thing. That was the only thing that beat us. We weren't talking to each other. The employees who stood together as the 30% and said "we walk out if you force this" kept their jobs. Every one of them. Now think about the 70% who got it. How many of them actually believed in it? How many just broke under the pressure? At least half, I'd bet. Which means 50% of this world never wanted that vaccine. They didn't win because they were right. They won because they made us feel alone. You were never alone. You just didn't know it. Start talking. You are the change.

Happy with Digital ID? Read this and consider why.

@dobssi @KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 There is that small comfort.....

@MartinNeil9 @KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 Imagine if he hadn’t been in charge? 😬

New Zealand is about to have a month long lockdown despite the fact it has zero deaths. Proactivity is the only way to get ahead of this virus. I’m sure their figures will reflect this positive action. Well done!

@dobssi @KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 No, one reason why he shouldn't have been in charge and yet another reason not to trust the pandemic preparedness complex.

@MartinNeil9 @KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 I think that is common knowledge. One reason they were more cautious in 2021.

@dobssi @KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 Sure, but you must also realise that he was responsible for the mass deployment of Pandemrix in Sweden during the fake swine flu pandemic of 2009. The Swedish government paid out approx. £1m each to 475 people who suffered from narcolepsy as a result of this vaccine.

@MartinNeil9 @KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 Anders Tegnell had admitted to that failure in fairness.

@lapogus1 @heathenbog @delbigtree @profnfenton Yes it was. 8% was the ONS figure but they supresed the higher figure commissioned by the governments own independent market research.

@heathenbog @delbigtree Can’t remember the specifics now but the ONS figure was discredited because they used old GP lists/electoral role data. The real figure was c. 25%? @profnfenton @MartinNeil9

@KoudijsHenk @RupertLowe10 It wasn't free and calm for the elderly locked in the care homes, isolated and deprived of contact with friends and family. This wasn't a price worth paying. It was a price that didn't need to be paid.

@RupertLowe10 . Sweden did not lock down. Be honest where would you like to to have lived during the pandemic? Locked down frantic NewZealand or free calm Sweden. I guess everyone gets what he deserves. @MartinNeil9

@NickHudsonCT AFAIK most of the Islamic extremists went eerily quiet during the covid 'pandemic'. Not a peep from Al Qaeda or ISIS. Nothing from Hamas or Hezbollah. For nigh on three years. Puzzling.

Why it’s best not to be partisan. If you foolishly decide to be, then at least take note of this.

The idea that excess death baselines were ‘expected’ is an understatement. Those baselines were adjusted in ways that conveniently made the situation look better than it was. Australian excess deaths reported here by @profnfenton @MartinNeil9 @jengleruk conservativewoman.co.uk/more-evidence-… via @theconwom

The history of vaccines, and their catastrophic (and intentional) impact on the world cannot be overstated. It is difficult for the mind to comprehend. From chronic disease to altered behavior. From creating drug addicts and criminals to destroying human interaction and relationships. The extent to which immune system and neurological damage touches our lives is nearly beyond comprehension, and is occurring at scale. And once you see it all... you won't be able to look away. And the likely outcome of this information is being converted to Christianity. Because once you know the devil exists...

@NickHudsonCT @XrppumpH @CartlandDavid You should look closely at the Black Death fable. Narrative based on PCR analysis of bacterial residue in centuries old tooth pulp, drawn from skeletal remains in plague pits. Tales of fleas and rats as means of zoonotic transmission Completely ignores volcanic mass famine event

My operating thesis is that bioweapons are all a psyop on military personnel first, and the public second. Anthrax definitely was. And virology has now completely collapsed for me as a credible field of endeavour, so that makes any claims about viral bioweapons bogus too. Bacteria? I'm undecided, but the way the other claims have failed and the nature of the people making these claims makes be very skeptical.

There was no such thing as COVID-19: discuss

I just sent a warning to my email newsletter list, most of which joined me because I told the truth about Covid, who may not expect me to oppose the U.S. war machine, too: "This week I had a handful of people write to tell me they were shocked by my noninterventionist take on the situation in Iran. They say they liked what I had to say on Covid, but they're confused about this. "I don't know how it could have shocked them; I've done nothing but condemn the permanent regime in Washington, the one that doesn't go away no matter who gets elected, and I've made clear that I don't believe a word it says. I cannot imagine still, at this late stage, being in thrall to it, no matter how scary one thinks the Iranian regime is. "I don't just buy what the so-called public health establishment tells me about anything, no matter how scary that thing may seem to me. They have not earned that trust. (That's the understatement of the century right there.) "If we can see through the Covid nonsense, we should certainly be able to see through this fiasco, and not be distracted by the loathsome Mark Levin and Sean Hannity trying to tell you that "Iran has been at war with us for 47 years," a whopper even for those two geniuses. "There are awful regimes around the world, no doubt, but my primary concern has to be the one that rules over me, and the fact is, the American foreign-policy apparatus cannot tell the truth to save its life. "After 25 years of what we call the 'War on Terror,' it really should have become obvious that these adventures are worse than useless -- much, much worse than useless. Read Scott Horton's book Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism. Tall tales about liberating oppressed peoples are for naive fools, and people on the right are supposed to be anything but that.  "This is not a 'liberal' point of view, I shouldn't have to point out. It is in fact the most based, right-wing view there is. "I promise you're not being a 'liberal' to oppose this very worst of government programs. As I show in my book 33 Questions About American History You're Not Supposed to Ask, it is an absurd myth that American liberals have opposed war. They have been perfectly happy with virtually all American wars since 1898. They soured on Vietnam after they contributed so much to it, but that's about it. "Back in 2011, I was about to speak to a group in Los Angeles some unknown fraction of which consisted of big boosters of American military adventures. I could have gotten away with giving a predictable anti-Obama speech and left it at that. I knew I would have been cheered. "But I wanted to tell them that if they're really going to be opponents of the regime, they have to understand that the foreign-policy side of it is bad, too. It isn't that Obamacare and milk subsidies are wrong, but the Pentagon is awesome. The entire regime is deeply, deeply sick, and it exploits people's patriotic instincts to get them to go along with things they'd never approve otherwise. "For a moment I considered not bringing it up. I could just give that rah-rah speech that I knew they'd love. "Then I thought: what kind of person would that make me? I won't tell the truth as I see it because I'm afraid a crowd won't like me? "I decided I couldn't be like that in my public speaking (and I won't be like that in this newsletter, either, of course). "So I told them: I used to have the same opinions you do. And then I couldn't take it anymore. It was Pat Buchanan who objected most loudly on humanitarian grounds to -- for example -- the inhuman sanctions on Iraq, among other things. You're going to tell me Pat Buchanan is a 'liberal'? Come on. "I told them: if it were the Soviet Union doing things like that, and making the same excuses that the execrable U.S. foreign-policy establishment is making, we would laugh. We would also be horrified. "I said: are you guys the same people who would lecture me about "moral relativism," and yet let moral enormities pass because they're committed by your government? Why are you so eager to make excuses for your government, anyway? If you don't pay your taxes, or you don't follow some dumb regulation, I promise they won't show you the same courtesy. "I promise I'm not attacking you personally when I accuse our government of doing terrible things. Didn't we all agree Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney were terrible people, after all? Why are we getting squeamish about calling them evil? "I told them: you are better than this. You are letting the awful regime that rules us turn you into something you should not want to be. "This is not left-wing or right-wing; it is a simple matter of basic humanity. "Well, that wasn't what they expected to hear. "But guess what: I got a thunderous standing ovation. (It's still up on YouTube.) "They knew I hadn't just told them what they wanted to hear. I had told them what they needed to hear. Instead of just throwing out red meat and playing to the crowd, I spoke to them heart to heart and told them serious things they'd never heard before. "The ovation said it all. "Covid reminded us that at heart we are ruled by sociopaths who care more about power than they do about our well-being. "I am telling you, the same kind of people make the foreign policy. They do not magically transform into saints. I know we want to make an exception in that area, because our uncle is in the military or we like to wave the flag, but we need to face the truth like adults. "So yes, you are going to hear me say things that will shock you if you came to your philosophy through Sean Hannity or Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro. So prepare yourself accordingly, or if you must, click the unsubscribe button at the bottom. "But with the densely populated city of Tehran, with nearly 10 million inhabitants, now under a bombing attack, if what you're looking for is rah-rah pro-government propaganda, you will be disappointed, just as you would have been disappointed if you expected me to defend Anthony Fauci. "The two phenomena are cut from the same cloth."
