The Epstein Class is destroying itself.

We need to ride it out this time, we don't need to do anything but survive, as they are doing it all themselves.

As I said at the beginning of the war, Trump will lose the war, the Gulf, and the American Empire.

🔍 US war backfires, pushes Iran towards oil hegemon status – Scholar

For years, the US’ number one goal in the Middle East has been “to prevent an oil hegemon in the Middle East, says political scientist Robert Pape.

Iran has never been an oil hegemon before, he notes, yet due to the war unleashed against it, and the situation with the Strait of Hormuz, it is now “in charge of oil prices more than anybody else.”

💬 “And they're leveraging that for geopolitical gain and also making money.”

He speculates:

💬 “The balance of power is really going to change here.”

This week the NHS will undergo one of the most radical – and scandalous - changes in its history. From 1st April (the public are the fools in this), GPs will be contractually obliged to seek remote, electronic “advice and guidance” from hospital ‘clinicians’ (note, not necessarily doctors), making it even harder for patients to see a hospital specialist.

Does this sound part of a plan to genuinely ‘fix’ the NHS, as Wes Streeting vowed he would do so effusively when taking up office - or more like a tactic to ration hospital care by overriding GPs in order to massage the waiting list figures?

It is, of course, the latter, an extra layer of bureaucracy that at best will delay patients’ access to the specialist treatment they need, at worse sacrifice those patients on the altar of fake news about “falling” waiting lists.

You don’t need me to point out the patient safety risks it potentially entails. We all know that time, in medicine, can be everything. The Royal College of GPs has been crystal clear: “The use of advice and guidance should not be mandated in any area… We have heard reports of risks of delays, with tests being required before any referral, lost messages and staff without appropriate senior clinical oversight handling requests.”

The aim, says the Times, is to reduce the number of hospital outpatient appointments by 30 million annually. And the government, in a really quite breathtaking example of political spin, is presenting this as “good” for patients - as though all those people who’ve been waiting years months or even years for the first Rheumatology, Neurology or Orthopaedics appointment they so desperately need are just, you know, malingering. (I recently spoke to a patient with a new diagnosis of multiple sclerosis who’d been waiting over six months to see a neurologist for the first time – simply scandalous.)

I believe this is a national health scandal from a government that apparently cares more about good spin than it does about good patient care.

If you feel the same, please – please – write to your MP or the Secretary of State and tell them why. Please shout about this online, in the press, anywhere you can. Don’t let this slide.

Thank you.

The Beating Heart of London

"Whilst London is known for being a financial center, what is less known is that they are the center of global insurance. Lloyd’s underwrites ~40% of the world’s marine cargo. Ship sinks, port gets bombed, canal gets blocked the bill lands in London. This is why the UK punches above its weight. Not the Royal Navy. Not diplomacy. Insurance.

Control insurance and you control trade.

85% of the world’s trade moves by sea and nearly half of it is insured through the London market.

And London doesn’t just control the global trade that moves by sea. Lloyd’s and the London market are major insurers of almost everything: skyscrapers, factories, ports, satellites - entire supply chains.

You can’t participate in public markets or raise large amounts of capital without insurance...

...The price of a bowl of rice in Amman or a phone in Berlin can be traced back to a handful of experts deciding where the world’s ships are allowed to sail and at what cost...

Justine Isernhinke

...MI6’s headquarters sits directly across the Thames River from the @IMOHQ, the world’s maritime regulator, and a short distance from Lloyd’s itself. It’s long been speculated that intelligence has a direct pipeline from MI6 to Lloyd’s. Having the best intelligence in the world is the greatest competitive edge any insurer can possess, providing them with the ability to price risk that competitors can only guess at. It’s like insider trading but for global shipping...

"The cancellation of war risk coverage on ships isn’t the crisis. It’s the canary.

If this hypothesis is correct, we could be looking at a systemic repricing event across global insurance markets…. the kind of cascading uncertainty that defined 2008 and COVID.

Watch Lloyd’s. Watch reinsurance spreads. What Five Eyes. That’s where this story, and possibly Wall Street, breaks.”

~John Konrad

As Lloyd’s of London, the gold standard for maritime insurance, started cancelling policies or blowing up war risk to multiple orders of magnitude, other insurers around the world followed, some even pressured by Chinese financial interests.

It’s a quiet way to control who ships and who doesn’t. That collapsed commercial shipping traffic through Hormuz, choking off oil shipments from the Middle East.

Now it could be argued, conveniently, mind you, that this is to prevent deaths and destruction of ships. And that may well be the case. But there is good old greed here too. Insurance companies don’t like paying out insurance, as we all know. They would not want to pay out on a claim of a ship lost to war. They also realize that they literally have us between a strait and a hard place, so what a great time to make A LOT more money.

London has been the center of gravity for marine insurance. Lloyd’s and its reinsurers control 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.

Then the US steps in to underwrite the risk when the private market won’t.

This unseats Lloyd’s from their dominant position. It removes the actuarial blockade and literally replaces the global marine war risk market during an active conflict. The structural implications are significant.

This move redirects billions in premium revenues to America. Ship owners get cheaper insurance."
