It also changed the Comments section into this version where nothing is saved. I pressed Publish again, and all is well. Except the comments are gone. Sorry TBOC.

See the map
The IRGC Navy has released the coordinates of the Strait of Hormuz area under the management and control of the Iranian Armed Forces. The zone spans from Mount Mobarak and Fujairah in the south to Qeshm Island and Umm Al Quwain in the west, asserting Iran’s sovereign authority over this vital global energy artery.

War On Iran: – How Trump’s “Project Freedom” Has Failed
Yesterday, at 20:35 UTC, U.S. President Donald Trump seemed to announce U.S. military protection for traffic through the Strait of Hormuz:.. For the good of Iran, the Middle East, and the United States, we have told these [neutral] Countries that we will guide their Ships safely out of these restricted Waterways, so that they can freely and ably get on with their business.
…
This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time.
…Be careful viewing AIS only data. It doesnt show AIS-off ships. Also, AIS is self reporting, bad AIS data is entered for ships on purpose. The current standard for viewing AIS includes Radar correlation.
A minor unsubstantiated observation based in part on watching the military summary channel twice a day for the last 3 years. Something has changed. Ukraine is taking back ground. We know Russia gives up ground when it suits them. This doesnt look the same.Does anyone seriously believe that if “America” (and I use ironic quote marks to signify the difficulty in defining what that word even means any more) could militarily defeat Iran that it would hesitate for even a minute in doing so?
So why ain’t they doing so?
Hint: It can’t. RIM’s delusional optimism based on ZioNazi Imperial propaganda nothwithstanding.
The propaganda doesn’t match the reality, (‘on the ground’ so to speak) of it’s neutralized scaredy-cat naval fleet, virtually abandoned and empty forward attack-bases, depletion of ammunition and radars of all types, and the fact that Iran still controls the all-important Strait of Hormuz (which it can continue to control regardless of any real or imagined financial woes).
Ah, well. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, of which there are a myriad.
No one can say the same about factual reality, however, of which there is just one, and which we’re all in whether we like it or not.
Let’s see what that small but important part of the world looks like in a couple of months. Will it Iran belong to the 75 year old Zionist state of Israel and the 250 year old Zionist State of America, or will it still belong to the Persians who’ve caslled it their own for 2,500 years?
Anyone want to place a bet? RIM? Anyone?
Iran needs storage space for its oil.

IRGC: No commercial vessels or oil tankers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past few hours.The unprecedented (literally) quantity of bullshit, propaganda, censorship and obfuscation is not aimed at us little folk. We don’t matter and they don’t care. It’s aimed at MARKETS, and of course at the people who manipulate the money flowing into and out of those markets.
Money matters. It really does. They don’t just fight wars FOR it. They fight wars WITH it.
But at the end of the day it doesn’t matter as much as THINGS and real estate (i.e. REAL stuff).
We need to be careful to not get the two mixed up too badly, nor with the INFORMATION and the BELIEFS that are used to do so.
DBS: You know my position. America never intended to. O B V I O U S L Y.
I said for weeks, “THERE ARE NO SOLDIERS THERE”. Ergo, OBVIOUSLY no invasion. And there is none, AND no soldiers yet AND no discussion of any, so OBVIOUSLY America never had the faintest interest in conquering Iran.
So the whole rest of your position depends on telepathic projection into the minds of leaders who took NO ACTIONS and said NO WORDS that they would do this.
But they do and will, ackshully. Really?
Since we already “won” (see today’s comment from me) wtf would they? What more could we possibly want than Iran closing the strait, f-ing Europe and making us rich. Hell, I’ll PAY them to do what they’re doing. Never stop.
But really we DID mean to invade with no soldiers at all because “Trust me bro” and “Everyone is stupid except me”. Yes it’s infuriating, and I don’t care for it. Collum for example pointed out that the only good end if if the U.S. gets punched and pays for this once in a while so they stop thinking war is grand. Do we tho?
There is no reason to think that will happen at all this time. Everyone is furious we can’t kill common, working Americans for stuff they never did, and make them pay, pay, pay as if we haven’t paid enough since 1979 or 1963. As if we had anything to do with it and didn’t vote against it 10 presidents at a go. I for one am not sorry to get rich and stop being murdered daily. That doesn’t make me sad at all. I don’t feel I need to do any additional paying after the lifetime of suffering from birth All us Americans already paid.
I deep, abiding sadness they can’t kill America and everything it stands for, and every person in it, and hand the world to Soros and the Ayatollah. No thanks.
Could you please repost your earlier post, Dr. D? It looks like it wasn’t just tboc’s that got eaten.
More conflicting stories today.
CENTCOM chief says Iran fired at U.S. warships, and “U.S. destroyed six Iranian small boats“
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency rejected the assertion by Cooper, saying none of its so-called “fast boats” were destroyed Monday.
Iranian state media said earlier that forces fired “warning” shots, including missiles and drones, at a U.S. destroyer as it neared the Strait of Hormuz in the Sea of Oman.
Iranian authorities insist the strait is closed and only vessels with explicit permission from its military will be permitted to pass, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent insisted Monday that the U.S. has full control over the waterway.
Wouldn’t the price of oil be a proxy for who is exerting the most control of over the strait? In spite of the jaw boning and a hedgie treasury secretary’s ability to suppress with paper contracts, it still climbs. That was quite a pop at the pump last week in my area jumped a buck a gallon over a 3 day period. Should come down fast when the strait opens.
* The price of oil indicates who’s in control; Markets matter more than people
* Hedgemony is the new hegemony; Might might make right
* China ignores US sanctions; Operation Economic Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing
* 40 thousand is the new 6 million
* When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time they stab you in the back
* No More Kings except for Iran
* Israel has the wrong to exist
* O beautiful for specious lies

Money:
You need money to make money!
You need money to wage war to make more money!
Thus, the Bank of England formed in 1600, to wage endless profitable wars for next 400 years!Iran:
Iran has over 90 million people.
That is a lot of cannon fodder!Self Driving Teslas:
Since, I am now legally blind, and my wife has altimers, a self driving Testa would be a great option for me.
However, these days you probably still need a driver’s license to drive in a personally owned Tesla, so you can supervise the car.
I am guessing Musk has already thought about my situation and has had the laws change ahead of time, so I can’t own a cyber cab directly but instead have use a cybercab from his company.
He will use the lack of a drivers license against me.Maybe he won’t sell directly to us at all, with wink – wink help from gov laws?
Any thoughts from the TAE peanut gallery, on how self driving might play out in the future?
P.S. Self driving wheelchairs?
P.S. Drone Alert: My brother in Detroit saw a drone delivering a parcel to a neighbor’s house! So the future is here!
Lost Licenses:
So far, the authorities have taken away my; Helicopter’s, Pilot’s, Captain’s, pleasure boating, Blast Hole Drill Operator’s, Explosive’s, Shovel Operator’s, Dragline Operator’s, Crane Operator’s, Forklift Operator’s, X-Ray Operator’s, Ultrasound Operator’s, Welder’s, Fishing, and my driver’s licenses, all because I am blind!
But the unkindess cut of all, is them taking my grocery cart driver’s license away from me!
All because they say I have T-boned too many women driven grocery carts!

So the whole rest of your position depends on telepathic projection into the minds of leaders who took NO ACTIONS and said NO WORDS that they would do this.
Wow. Three whoppers in just the first line. That’s gotta be some kind of record.
Taking them up one at a time:
1) No, I don’t know your position except by inference because you never state it clearly. You consistently side-step making straightforward unambiguous statements about your position. The inference that I draw from that is that you are ashamed of it, as well you should be.Your position is that it is okay for America to murder whomever it needs to as the price of retaining its own Imperial hegemony, and thereby secure American’s “precious freedoms” and other perks because if we don’t rape others first then they’re just going to rape us second. It’s a “do unto others before they do unto you” sort of stance and I understand why you don’t want to just say it out loud. It’s what they call in the Public Relations biz a “bad look”.
2) [“America never intended to”]. Oh yes it did. Big time. To the tune of a few hundreds of billions of dollars in direct expenses (missiles and naval fleets ain’t cheap) and tens of thousands of innocent civilians murdered in cold blood. Count them, Doc. They’re called corpses, which is especially despicable when the corpses are in the form of dead women and children. What do you call that amount of invested effort, a “head fake” or something?
What America intended was to wreak the place and then install Reza Pahlavi (eldest son of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the last monarch of Iran, deposed in the 1979 Islamic Revolution) as a willing and well paid puppet …. just like it did in 1954 when it deposed the democratically elected government and installed the monarchic Shah. It didn’t take any American boots on the ground back then and it wasn’t expected to need them this time either.
It just didn’t go exactly to plan this time because ZioNazi America is run by a bunch of fucking idiots who think like you do.
3) OBVIOUSLY? (“OBVIOUSLY America never had the faintest interest in conquering Iran.”) I am just flabbergasted at the height, width, depth and density of how obviously WRONG your statement is. If it’s so damned “obvious” then what the literal fuck is the war even about in the first place?
Going to all that effort for no reason whatsoever is even nuttier than doing it to conquer people just to steal their stuff and enslave them. Are you saying that Trump & Bibi thought that killing was just a good way to kill some time?4) Your closing statement that the, “whole rest of your position depends on telepathic projection into the minds of leaders who took NO ACTIONS and said NO WORDS that they would do this” makes me fervently wish that I could telepathically project, into whatever it is that you use as your mind, the awareness that threatening words were said, and that horribly and lethally destructive actions were done. If you don’t know that then you are indeed well and truly insane.
