@shanaka86 Thank you DJT!

JUST IN: The Strait of Hormuz is open. It has been open every day since February 28. The IRGC never closed it. What the IRGC did is convert 21 miles of international waterway into a permissioned gate with a toll booth, a vetting process, and a guest list. Traffic has collapsed 70 to 80 percent. But the handful of tankers that transit each day do so with IRGC clearance, paid in yuan or USDT, at $2 million to $4 million per vessel. The process is now documented. A tanker operator contacts an IRGC-linked intermediary. The operator submits vessel ownership, flag state, cargo manifest, destination, crew list, and AIS transponder data. The IRGC runs background checks: no US-linked ownership, no Israeli cargo, no flagging to aggressor states. If approved, a toll is negotiated. Payment is executed in cash, Chinese yuan, or USDT on the Tron network. The IRGC issues VHF radio clearance with a specific time window and route through Iranian territorial waters near Larak Island, where IRGC Navy performs visual confirmation. The vessel transits. No physical escort is provided. The “protection” is the removal of the interdiction threat. You are safe because the entity that would attack you has decided not to. China passes. India passes. Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Iraq, Bangladesh pass. Shadow fleet operators aligned with Russia pass. Not all pay the full toll. Some receive exemptions through government-to-government arrangements. Some pay reduced rates. Some pay nothing because the geopolitical alignment is payment enough. The system is not a blockade. It is a membership club with a cover charge denominated in currencies that are not the US dollar. And here is what nobody is covering. Lloyd’s of London and the international insurance market have withdrawn standard hull and machinery coverage for Hormuz transits. War-risk policies now carry premiums of up to 5 percent of vessel value, $5 million for a $100 million tanker, per voyage. But the actuarial models that price those premiums now incorporate IRGC vetting status as a risk-reduction variable. If a vessel can prove it has paid the toll and received VHF clearance, the probability of loss drops from above 20 percent to below 5 percent. The same models that price hurricane risk and earthquake exposure are now pricing IRGC compliance as a safety factor. The insurance industry has done something no government intended: it has formalised IRGC authority over the strait in actuarial mathematics. A tanker that pays the toll is insurable. A tanker that does not is stranded. Dozens of vessels sit outside the strait right now, unable to transit because no underwriter will cover them. The insurance withdrawal is not a market reaction. It is a structural enforcement mechanism that makes IRGC permission the prerequisite for commercial shipping. Every toll paid in yuan is a barrel that settled outside the dollar system. Every USDT transaction on Tron is a 3-second settlement bypassing SWIFT and sanctions. Iran’s parliament is drafting legislation to formalise the toll as “security compensation.” If that bill passes, ad-hoc extortion becomes sovereign law, and the precedent for chokepoint monetisation enters the international legal framework. Gold watches from the side. Spot prices muted at $5,000 to $5,400 by dollar strength and rising yields, while central banks in China, Russia, and India quietly accumulate on every dip. The short-term safe-haven has not fired. The long-term de-dollarization trade is loading. The strait is open. The molecules move. But only for those who pay the toll, in the currency the toll booth accepts, after the vetting the toll booth requires. The rest wait. The clocks tick. Saturday arrives. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@fuckyourputs Joe Rogan is a defender of the pedo elites.

Ok. This guys completely retarded. I can’t believe I listened to hour long podcasts assuming he had any shred of credibility. What the actual fuck is happening

@Gossip_Goblin Why does it look so bad?

Trench Spools

@edmundmcmillen So hyped for this.

I woke up and yet the dream continues …

@helldivers2 Did homie say “we come in peace”?

BREAKING ‼️

@BGarcN2 It’s not that deep, man.

finished the book. the pit in my stomach is unmeasurable. one of the greatest works of fiction of all time. i’m going to need some time to digest this.

@sbodrojan How were the Peace parts?

FINISHED WAR AND PEACE !!!

@lookner My god.

Another angle

@johnbaskette @BonkDaCarnivore You’re corroborating the story. You can’t read so an AI has to.

Here is Grok's response to this post. The tldr answer is no, he did not delay traditional treatment, no he did not cut to the front of the line. The post is a lie. "Adams did try antiparasitic drugs like ivermectin and fenbendazole (sometimes called "horse dewormers" or similar veterinary terms, though ivermectin has human formulations too) as alternative approaches early on. He openly admitted they did not work and that he tried them perceiving little downside risk, not out of strong conviction. This was not "horse tranquilizers" (that's likely a mix-up with ketamine, which isn't mentioned in his case). He later pursued standard medical options, including testosterone blockers (standard for prostate cancer) and eventually Pluvicto (a targeted radioligand therapy approved by the FDA in 2022 for advanced cases). There is no evidence he went against doctor's advice specifically for these alternatives—he explored them alongside or before conventional care, as many patients do with unproven options. No sources indicate he delayed effective treatment due to this; he was already in the system. On the Trump/Kaiser intervention In November 2025, Adams publicly posted on X that Kaiser Permanente (his provider) had approved him for Pluvicto but had "dropped the ball" on scheduling the IV infusion, delaying it amid his rapid decline. He appealed directly to Trump (a longtime supporter of Adams) to intervene and expedite scheduling. Trump responded "On it!" on Truth Social, and figures like RFK Jr. offered help. Adams later confirmed he received the treatment shortly after (e.g., "Getting Pluvicto tomorrow... The Trump administration works fast"). Kaiser stated his care was already underway and they had treated many patients with the drug. Was this "cutting the line" and displacing another patient? It's unclear—Adams described it as fixing a possible glitch or misplacement in his files after months of waiting like others. Critics raised fairness concerns about preferential treatment due to his high-profile Trump connection, noting that most patients don't have access to presidential intervention for bureaucratic delays. However, no evidence shows it directly caused another patient to wait longer or die; Pluvicto access involves supply and scheduling factors, but Kaiser emphasized their expertise and ongoing treatments. Trump did intervene for a pro-MAGA ally, which highlights inequalities in U.S. healthcare access, but the claim overstates it as deliberately letting "a cancer fighter somewhere potentially die."

Yet another guy who lived a terrible life trying to negotiate his way into heaven on his death bed. A reminder that Adams here used, against doctor's advice, horse tranquilizers to try and treat his prostate cancer. Then when it didn't do anything and he realized he had made a fatal mistake - and when he found out Kaiser was going to put him on a waiting list for treatment because access to the drug was tight, he went begging to Daddy Orange to pull some strings and let him cut to the front of the line for an actually effective cancer treatment he SHOULD have been on the whole time (and would have had he followed doctor's orders), but did so in such a way that it pushed some other cancer patient who was trying to follow THEIR doctor's orders wait longer for treatment so Scott could go first. Like t he piece of shit he is. Now he's trying to angle "salvation". Everything this guy does is trying to cut a corner to cover up he's a horrible human. And yes, the takeaway here is that Trump decided to let a cancer fighter somewhere potentially die so a pro-MAGA guy didn't have to face the consequences of his actions. Even if Christianity is true (whole other topic), this idea that humans have concocted than they can fool The Almighty by waiting till the end and then asking for forgiveness as a strategic play has always been weird to me. Like, I'm pretty sure He'd know that wasn't sincere and you were just covering your bases "just in case".

@JanHambrecht .@grok put her in clear tape.

It' easy to hate drug dealers but are you brave enough to hate tattoo artists

@Hater_T0t @shin_kale_rider Who keeps Superman in check?

@shin_kale_rider The moral of Superman is evidence that moore was wrong Just because someone wrote something in a book doesn’t make it automatically true. I love the watchmen, but Moore’s glazers are so annoying. Promethea is better

The moral of Watchmen that even if they are generally decent people with a desire to do good, the personalities that gravitate to masked vigilantism would be so insane that they would pose an existential threat to society and human life itself

@LoreRattius @GhostGamingG EA appreciates you defending the small indie company. They’re crying into their 55 Billion.

@GhostGamingG Ah well time to burn the game at the stake i guess Forget all the good and just call the game ai slop and slander it forever

I actually can’t believe this, after the DICE GM herself assured us AI wouldn’t be used to make Battlefield 6, they’re literally selling this slop to us. No thanks 😬 Makes me wonder if AI created this whole challenge system at the last second too!

@kmgunder @HBendaas They laughed Zohran Mamdani straight into office. Maybe don’t care about pundits and get with the people.

@HBendaas No matter what DEMs do, a bunch of pundits will have several hey days laughing and making fun of DEMs. Again: No matter what they do! Meanwhile the GOP, who was helped into office by all the DEM bashing, lights the constitution on fire on a daily basis.

Still laughing about the DNC burying that report. Do you know how bad it has to be after a loss to say you’ll look at what went wrong, spend a year doing it and decide you simply cannot release that publicly. There was some real illegal stuff going down with Future Forward PAC

@Kalzaang @hasanthehun What’d Mao do wrong?

@hasanthehun Given that you’ve repeatedly praised Mao, openly celebrated teenagers getting raped and murdered at a music festival, and repeatedly told your fans to go murder people that you dislike, you should probably sit this one out @hasanthehun

what can you even say at this point

@TavinSethi @EthicalHoopz Best passer in the league.

@EthicalHoopz Please do tell

Anyone who knows even a bit about basketball could tell you in a single sentence why Jokić doesn’t get double teamed

@SatireAP @PressSec Not wearing the cross necklace. She’s gonna lie so much today

Ok keep lying @PressSec

@Cruc1al_Lim0n @ettingermentum He’s talking about America’s other past time… football.

This is wrong. This feels European. I hate this.

@commentiquette These guys have all the power and are still angry no one likes them.

If the intent here is to piss off critics, that's a two way street and you guys get mad a lot easier.

@GianmarcoSoresi He should tell Trump’s daughter about it. Idk why he ran to twitter.

Theo sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Theo reaping:
