Scott Ritter: There is NO legal or moral justification for war against Iran. Full interview at BrightVideos.com

Today, I’m watching what might be one of the most spectacular and self-inflicted downfalls in modern history: the State of Israel. From my perspective, Israel is not a nation in the traditional sense; it is an intelligence construct, a geopolitical puppet whose strings are held by dying empires. Its entire existence has been a precarious balancing act, reliant on the perpetual support of foreign powers, first the British and now the Americans.

But here’s the fatal flaw, the crack in the foundation that is widening into a chasm: the very actions Israel is taking to secure its expansionist dream are systematically destroying the pillars that hold it up. In a desperate, genocidal push for a 'Greater Israel,' the regime in Tel Aviv is engaging in global sabotage, triggering regional wars, and accelerating the financial collapse of its patrons. I believe we are witnessing a state in the terminal stages of a suicide mission, actively cutting its own throat.

Control over the Strait of Hormuz is MORE powerful than any nuclear weapon. Snippet of my interview with Scott Ritter. Full interview at BrightVideos.com

For all the MAGA-tards claiming the USA can export enough oil to make up for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz:

The United States is, without question, the world's largest oil producer -- 13.6 million barrels per day as of 2025, a record high driven largely by efficiency gains in the Permian Basin. Impressive. But the Strait of Hormuz carries 20 million barrels per day through a waterway just 21 miles wide at its narrowest point.

That is not a rounding error. That's a 6.4-million-barrel-per-day gap before we have even accounted for the fact that America itself consumes 20.4 million barrels per day.

Read that again. The U.S. produces less oil than it consumes.

Its exportable petroleum surplus sits at roughly 2 to 3 million barrels per day. (Nowhere near 20 million bpd.)

Replacing Hormuz flows would require the U.S. to somehow stop using its own oil entirely, then increase production by nearly 50% overnight.

That is not a plan. That is a fantasy dressed up as foreign policy confidence.

And before someone brings up "just drill more" -- the EIA is already projecting U.S. production to decline through 2027. The Permian Basin -- America's crown jewel of oil production at 6.6 million barrels per day -- has breakeven costs of $61 to $62 per barrel. Margins are thin. Rig counts are already falling. New wells take one to three years to come online at meaningful scale, and that assumes the infrastructure to export them even exists, which it largely does not.

The U.S. simply does not have the deepwater export terminal capacity to ship 20 million barrels per day to the rest of the world. Building that infrastructure would take years and hundreds of billions of dollars.

Then there is the reserve question. The U.S. holds approximately 83.7 billion barrels of proven oil reserves (not yet extracted) -- enough for roughly 11 years at current domestic consumption levels. If you start aggressively exporting to replace Hormuz volumes on top of that, you are not looking at a long-term solution. You are looking at accelerated depletion of proven reserves.

The countries that would suffer most from a Hormuz closure are not the ones people typically think about in this debate. Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, and China are the primary recipients of Persian Gulf oil. A long-term Hormuz closure would send oil prices to levels not seen in modern history -- some analysts suggest several hundred dollars per barrel in a prolonged scenario -- triggering recessions, supply chain collapses, and humanitarian crises across multiple continents simultaneously.

The numbers here are not ambiguous. U.S. production: 13.6 million barrels per day. Hormuz flow: 20 million barrels per day. U.S. net exportable surplus: roughly 2.8 million barrels per day.

The math ain't mathin'.

No combination of optimism, political will, or American exceptionalism closes that gap in any timeframe that matters during an active crisis.

Geopolitics is complicated. Energy arithmetic is not. Please stop spreading misinformation that leads people -- and policymakers -- to catastrophically underestimate what a Hormuz closure would actually mean for the global economy.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE - The State of Florida appears to be reporting FALSE glyphosate numbers in commercial bread products.

We acquired all the top bread brands and tested them in our ISO-accredited laboratory, using NIST-traceable external standards and a validated triple quad mass spec method.

The bread product that Florida reported as having 191.04 ppb of glyphosate (Sara Lee Honey Wheat Bread) was found, in our lab, to only contain 9.87 ppb, earning it an A+++ rating in the glyphosate category. (Because 10 ppb in bread is extremely low.)

Note that I am an opponent of glyphosate on a personal level, and yet I am reporting honest lab results because scientific integrity is critical.

MANY numbers from the State of Florida's "Exposing Food Toxins" website appear to be wildly inaccurate, often by an order of magnitude or more.

What lab was the State of Florida using? Do they even know what they're doing?

Full video explanation here:

The morons lying to you and telling you all the world's oil tankers are now exclusively coming to the U.S. to load up on oil are full of it. They don't even know what global tanker traffic looks like in the first place. Here's the ACTUAL picture on Apr 11, 2026. And no, the U.S. doesn't have spare oil to cover the world's demand anyway...

The State of Florida claims that Nature's Own bread contains over 190 ppb of glyphosate.

We tested Nature's Own Thick-Sliced White Bread, using our ISO-accredited lab with a $400K LC-QQQ instrument (mass-spec) and found less than 6 ppb.

We found the same pattern with all the other breads the State of Florida claims to have tested. ALL their numbers were wildly high, compared to what we found. And we've been doing this sort of testing for 10+ years across 10,000+ food samples.

Looks to me like the State of Florida has some explaining to do...

There are people dumb enough right now to believe that two U.S. destroyers are "clearing mines" in the Straight of Hormuz.

U.S. naval destroyers are incapable of clearing mines.

The U.S. Navy dedicates specific ship classes and platforms to mine warfare:

1. Avenger-class Mine Countermeasures Ships (MCM)
The primary dedicated MCM vessels in the U.S. fleet. They use sonar, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and mechanical/influence sweep gear to detect and neutralize mines. The Navy has been retiring hulls from this class and transitioning to newer methods.

2. Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) with MCM Mission Packages
The Freedom-class and Independence-class LCS are designed to accept modular mission packages, including a Mine Countermeasures Mission Package.

3. MH-53E Sea Dragon Helicopters
These heavy-lift helicopters are specifically tasked with airborne MCM, towing sweep gear through the water to detonate or clear mines magnetically and acoustically.

4. MH-60S Seahawk Helicopters
Equipped with the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) and laser mine detection systems, these serve as a more modern airborne MCM platform supplementing (and gradually replacing) the MH-53E.

Note that none of these are destroyers.

You've been punked yet again by the lying Pentagon and lying Trump administration.

Instant IQ test: If you think the speed of light is a constant, you fail. Though this is what is taught in every university, it's provably false.

It should be self-evident, for example, that the speed of light slows when entering water, or a prism, or any any refractive solid. I'm not going to bother explaining this if you don't already know it.

So then people say no, the speed of light in SPACE is a constant!

That's not true either. We already know that light follows the curvature of spacetime, which is impacted by the "gravity" projection of mass.

That alone tells you that light's speed, relative to us, depends on the fabric of spacetime. If you stretch spacetime, light appears to move faster. If you condense it, light appears to move more slowly. If you bend spacetime, light follows the bend because from the point of view of the light, it's still traveling in a straight line... but REALITY is now curved.

And at the event horizon of a black hole, right at the edge, the "speed" of light, of course, reaches zero.

Obviously.

So no, the speed of light is not a constant. That's maybe 7th grade physics. Most people still believe it, though. Which just tells you that people don't think much beyond whatever they were told in the name of "science."

REAL scientists are people who are curious about the universe. Those are precisely the people who are called "anti-science" by the authoritarian science establishment which insists you question nothing and swallow everything.

Like a black hole swallowing light.

For those who think the Strait of Hormuz is "international waters," you're flatly wrong.

The United States claims territorial waters extending 12 nautical miles off the coast of CONUS. Beyond that, it claims a "Contiguous Zone" of 24 nautical miles from shore, where the U.S. government can enforce customs, immigration and sanitation laws.

In addition, the U.S. also claims an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) that's up to 200 nautical miles from shore, claiming control over managing all natural resources including oil and gas.

The Strait of Hormuz is 21 nautical miles at its most narrow point. Those 21 nautical miles of water touch Iran on the North and Oman on the South.

There are no "international waters" in this portion of the strait. The North portion is clearly well within Iran's territorial waters -- even according to U.S. definitions -- and the South portion is clearly well within Oman's territorial waters.

Put another way, if the United States sat where Iran sits today, the USA would clearly and forcefully proclaim the entire strait to be its own territorial waters.

MAGA-tards don't know any of this because they never even heard of the Strait of Hormuz until about six weeks ago.

JD Vance doesn't know what the term "negotiation" means.

He says, basically, "We showed up, gave them our demands, said this was our final offer, and they refused to agree to it. So we left."

That's not "negotiation." It's not diplomacy. Trump, JD Vance and the entire American Empire are all incapable of negotiation or diplomacy. The very concepts are completely alien to them.

GLOBAL IMPACTS OF TRUMP'S WAR ON IRAN AND NEW BLOCKADE:
