Michael Hudson theorizes on Feb 10, 2026[video made]; that the firs thing Iran would do in a War; is sink their own oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz [3 minutes in]. This will squeeze global and other foreign debts; leading to a force de jour Banking Crisis[starts at 3:20 clicks in]. Just over 58 minutes…

All part of the soft control grid development prior to the hard surveillance tech kicks in.

Michael Hudson stated very bluntly and correctly that the Trump - Israeli plan will not succeed. Russia and Iran have already developed counter measures to thwart the Israeli - Trump plan. Their plans would best be described as ‘delusional’ at best.
Funny statement - if the UN goes broke then Trump could buy the building and rename it Trump Tower 3.

The root cause is result of an intentionally delusional bubble, generally ignored, that is Washington and other States adminstrations, instigated, controlled and guided by third party and other state actors.

The thing is that we have been WAITING for the criminals, aka bankers, to get sucked into the vacuum as the entire system which has taken the last two years to finalize the set up and test that by-passes them altogether. People in the domestic (US) oil business probably aren’t complaining about looming oil prices because they haven’t made enough money to even bother drilling with the low price of crude over the past two years.
Until we expel domestic terrorists, wherever “domestic” is for you, expect surveillance. If we don’t know where they are, we can hardly stop them from killing you.

When it comes to domestic energy security where i live, that would be the Green Party. We have oil and gas fields over a couple of thousand square miles of our west coast. The Greens forced a minority government to legislate it out of permanent access in 2019. It will be seen what transpires now.

Again this whole thing looks to me like a war with Rothschilds (Lloyd’s of London ) and loyal to Rothschilds Royal family.
Trump is going for jugular.
"Yesterday, I explained how seven insurance firms in London shut down one-fifth of the world’s oil supply.
Today, Trump may have just made the most aggressive sovereign insurance play in modern history.
Here’s what happened and why it matters:
Trump ordered the U.S. Development Finance Corporation to immediately offer political risk insurance and guarantees to all maritime trade through the Gulf. Especially energy. Backed by Navy escorts if needed.
Read that through the lens of what I described yesterday.
The Strait didn’t close because of missiles. It closed because the insurance market collapsed. P&I clubs pulled coverage, reinsurers withdrew, and the entire commercial shipping architecture froze.
This move doesn’t address the military problem. It addresses the actuarial one.
The DFC is stepping into the void that Lloyd’s and the London reinsurance market created when they pulled out. The U.S. government is effectively saying: we will underwrite what the private market won’t.
No sovereign has attempted to replace the global marine war risk market in real time during an active conflict. Here’s why the structural implications are significant:
- It challenges Lloyd’s dominance.
For centuries, London has been the center of gravity for marine insurance. Lloyd’s and its reinsurers controlled pricing, terms, and risk appetite for global shipping.
That concentration is exactly what made the actuarial blockade possible. A handful of firms in one city froze global oil flows.
The DFC offering competitive political risk coverage to all shipping lines is a direct challenge to that architecture. If American-backed insurance proves cheaper and more reliable during crises, shippers may not return to London when the dust settles.
- It breaks the actuarial blockade.
I said yesterday that China has massive leverage over Iran but zero leverage over Lloyd’s. The same was true of every oil-producing and oil-consuming nation watching their economies choke.
This goes around the insurance market entirely. If the DFC covers the voyage and the Navy escorts the tanker, the ships sail. Oil flows. The spreadsheet blockade breaks.
- It redirects billions in premium revenue.
War risk premiums in the Gulf are currently running at extreme multiples — 3× to 5× pre-conflict rates. Those premiums were flowing to London reinsurers who then pulled coverage anyway.
Now those premiums flow to Washington. At rates the DFC can set below the panicked London market, while still generating substantial returns. The same shippers get cheaper coverage. The revenue just changes continents.
- It creates a chokepoint within the chokepoint.
The Strait of Hormuz is already the world’s most critical energy bottleneck. If the U.S. is both insurer and naval escort, America controls access at two levels: physical security and financial coverage.
No other nation can replicate that. You need the world’s dominant navy and a sovereign balance sheet large enough to backstop the risk. Only one country has both.
- It reassures every stakeholder simultaneously.
Gulf producers were watching exports freeze. Asian and European consumers were watching energy prices spike. Both feared the Iran campaign would wreck their economies.
One announcement addressed all of them: your oil will move, your ships will be covered, and the rates will be reasonable.
Yesterday I described a system with no TARP, no Fed equivalent, no backstop at global scale.
This may be the first attempt to build one in real time, during the crisis itself.
The actuarial blockade just met a sovereign counterparty."
