The petrodollar requires violence and coercion to uphold. It's time for society to evolve towards a higher form of money. Something that doesn't require perpetual war to enforce. Something that's neutral, voluntary and wins because it's the best, not because you have a gun to your head. There's no point in replacing the petrodollar with the petroyuan. It just perpetuates the system with a new overlord. It's time for Bitcoin. It's our best shot at separating money and state.

When POTUS tells the Europeans, Indians, etc., to open the Strait of Hormuz on their own, it's very simple what these nations will do: they will cut deals with Tehran, pay tolls to pass through the Strait, and they will pay those tolls in Chinese Yuan. End of Petrodollar.

The Strait of Hormuz lies within the territorial waters of Iran and Oman. South African vessels can pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Roughly 30% to 40% of Black South African children lived in households without their biological fathers present in the 1970s. This is during apartheid. Today, about 70% of Black South African children are growing up without their fathers. What happened? #economy #politics #MajoziCommentary

@RandomRogue1 @PhumlaniMMajozi People being displaced from "upheavals" is not the same as families being broken up by the migrant labour system. Two different things.

@AardvarkBloody Let's not water down actual violence by comparing it to nasty words. Name-calling is not violence.

"The environment is ripe for blaming 'the other' while competing for scarce resources. We know only too well that violence has always been a part of the South African landscape: physical violence and the violence of language and name-calling."
Eyewitness News@ewnupdates

In a rather under-reported media report, violence flared up in KuGompo City (formerly East London). The name change also tells us where the priorities of the politicians are. As Algoa News recently reported, violence broke out during and after a march by residents in the city. ewn.co.za/2026/04/02/jud…

@RandomRogue1 @PhumlaniMMajozi Except he mentioned that in the 1970s at the height of Apartheid the number of fatherless black families were much lower than today. So if the migrant labour system is to blame, why did it not cause the issue in the 1970s already?

@PhumlaniMMajozi It’s funny how you always leave out the legacy of the Migrant Labour system that tore apart families and contributed to generational dysfunction, whenever you bring this up

There has not been a serious effort to secure assistance from any of these countries, not any concrete requests as to who should do what where. The German government apparently has received no direct communications from the Trump administration about any of this. There are only statements on social media and in the press about faithless NATO allies. Thus the goal is not actually to secure assistance in opening the Strait, at least not at this stage. Rather, it is to assign responsibility *in the eyes of American voters* for the continued closure to other countries. It's a publicity and a messaging campaign driven by Trump's desire to declare victory and extricate himself.
Glenn Diesen@Glenn_Diesen

The main challenge for Trump is to declare victory without being able to open the Strait of Hormuz: "Let France do it... Let the European countries do it… Let South Korea do it... Let Japan do it… This was not part of what I wanted to do"

J.D. Vance in April 2025: “I think a lot of European nations were right about our invasion of Iraq. Frankly, if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq…I don’t want the Europeans to just do whatever the Americans tell them to do. I don’t think it’s in their interest, and I don’t think it’s in our interests, either.” unherd.com/2025/04/transc…

I am going to tell you a deep secret of the English language. When we want to tell the truth, we use Germanic-derived words. When we want to lie, we use Latin-derived words. - Germanic (Old English) words → concrete, direct, sensory, testable - Latinate/French words → abstract, bureaucratic, distancing, often euphemistic Death / harm Germanic (plain, testable):kill, die, hurt Latinate (distancing, euphemistic):terminate, expire, neutralize, collateral damage 👉 “We killed civilians” vs “There was collateral damage” Lying / deception Germanic:lie, cheat, hide Latinate:misrepresent, obfuscate, prevaricate 👉 “He lied” vs “He misrepresented the facts” Money / exploitation Germanic:take, steal, pay Latinate:appropriate, extract, leverage, monetize 👉 “They’re taking your money” vs “They’re extracting value” War / violence Germanic:fight, bomb, burn Latinate:engagement, kinetic action, force projection 👉 “We bombed them” vs “We conducted kinetic operations” Bureaucracy / responsibility Germanic:you broke it, you did it Latinate:mistakes were made, systemic failure occurred 👉 Notice how the subject disappears. Money / exploitation Germanic:take, steal, pay Latinate:appropriate, extract, leverage, monetize 👉 “They’re taking your money” vs “They’re extracting value” War / violence Germanic:fight, bomb, burn Latinate:engagement, kinetic action, force projection 👉 “We bombed them” vs “We conducted kinetic operations” Bureaucracy / responsibility Germanic:you broke it, you did it Latinate:mistakes were made, systemic failure occurred 👉 Notice how the subject disappears. If you see a public statement filled with Latin-sounding words, you are being fooled, tricked, manipulated, or lied to.

@HarryLotusEater Regardless, Britain's weakness is what makes it suffer constant embarrassment. Why is Russia the only European country that can mobilize a million men and send them abroad to do organized violence (despite having its own "diversity problems")?

The Old English word for “alive” was cwic, pronounced almost exactly like “quick”, which is the word’s descendant in Modern English (from the sense of being active). That’s why you often hear the fossilized expression “the quick and the dead”.

Prime example of "You can just do things". One guy, born a bastard, in 1548 in Bruges changed the Dutch languages forever from all its peers through his linguistic purism, inventing Germanic words for all sciences that use the Latin word in any other Germanic language.

@RnaudBertrand Actually he doesn’t, not even remotely. What he’s saying is other countries - NATO allies, Asian countries need to do more and the US will help, not just cheer the US on from the sidelines. I would counter by using the Colin Powell dictum, “if you break it, you own it”

Rubio admits that the war will end with Iran still in control of Hormuz and that they may decide to charge a toll, something other countries need to deal with: x.com/FurkanGozukara… "When this conflict, when this operation ends, if the Iranians decide 'well now we control the Strait of Hormuz and you can only go through here if you pay us and if we allow you to', not only is it illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable and that can't be allowed to exist. And so what we said is that the countries most impacted by that should be willing to do something about it, and we'll help them." This would mean, of course, that the war would have reinforced Iran's strategic position which, almost by definition, means the U.S. lost.

A central theme here is the petrodollar (the white eagle's "golden tickets"), how it's being weaponized and how alternatives are sought. General knowledge and understanding of the petrodollar system is much higher today than 20 or 30 years ago. It's days are numbered.

Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅
