I sure don't understand what the end game here was and why in the world would an iconic voice like Lloyds risk their credibility with a fake story. How did any of this hurt Pres. Trump? Since paying terrorists for safe passage broke a whole bunch of laws that would certainly cause immediate investigation? and who thought up this stupid idea? Thank you, Amazing Amuse for another informative and educational article;
Perhaps, Linda, the goal of demoralizing America and Israel supporters was and still is the goal of many. Journalism is mostly dead and is only a tool for lies and deceit. That's why I search out truly independent news sources as this S'stack.
This war, and life in general, has taken on a distinct element of a spiritual battle.
Your substacks are so timely. I was recently introduced to PrometheanAction.com where they had revealed the Bank of London and Lloyd’s nefarious relationships with Iranian oil and the maritime insurance industry. Can’t thank you enough for revealing the deepest, darkest players in this insane world.
This is how narratives get manufactured—one “authoritative” report, a few unnamed sources, and suddenly speculation becomes global fact. The problem isn’t just being wrong—it’s not doing the work. No one asked the basic question: which ship actually paid? That’s Journalism 101. Instead, the story metastasized into conventional wisdom, while the evidence never materialized. Meanwhile, Iran benefits from the perception of control without having to prove it. That’s information warfare, and the media walked right into it. The lesson here isn’t about shipping lanes—it’s about credibility. If you don’t verify, you’re not reporting. You’re amplifying.
How many people know anything about the ships that pass through Hormuz? Very few. So it's easy to make up a story and ensure it widely publicized. The question is how much was Lloyds paid to spread this lie and who paid them?
Just imagine, what a breathtakingly different place the world would be if we had an honest, courageous and intelligent media who were not wedded to the forces of evil who want to rule the world.
Woe unto the media! For they have an outsized portion of blame and responsibility for aiding and abetting, inciting and causing incalculable needless suffering, pain, chaos, fear and turmoil in the world. I believe there is a special hell created just for them.
Lloyd's of London Insurance Company has never been friends of the United States after we beat Great Britain in 1783. They are as much of an enemy as Iran. Insurance companies run the world; not the banks. Who do you think insures the banks from failure?????
Is this a rhetorical question? The British funded and supplied the Confederacy until General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the North defeated the Confederate Army at Gettysburg.
Thank you for your detailed research and analysis of this dense topic. You are a brilliant Sherlock Holmes amongst a naive cadre of journalist wannabes.
Please, everyone make note of ALL the entities, foreign AND domestic, who have decided to side with Iran during this war and NEVER forget it.
The US media has a reckoning coming. I believe the constitution protects them from a governmental reckoning, as should be, but it does NOT protect them from a reckoning from the people.
At what point does the Constitution and Amendments give US citizens the right AND DUTY to deal with domestic enemies in real terms? The US media, as a whole, and many persons individually and expressly, have established they are domestic enemies of the people of the united States.
Alex, how about one of your in-depth studies and analysis of just how far the citizens can go in destroying this enemy and, perhaps to begin with, non-violent ways to accomplish this.
No offense, Susan, as I'm certain we agree completely! My non-violent method refers to our first step in properly addressing our own "enemy within" media.
TDS strikes again, formerly credible journalists found the anti-Trump bait irresistible. Another institution discredited, what a shame.
Is Bellingcat credible though?
Everyone is credible until they aren't.
Some are more susceptible to TDS than others.

http://PrometheanAction.com. Such great analysis of world events. Keep following them

Imagine the Scribes of Jesus' day having the tool of artificial information...
You mean lies? Oh, that’s been in existence since the beginning of time. 🐍
I would venture to guess that London is culpable for the sham story of toll. The London Globalist Oligarchs are getting desperate!!! 😁🗽

awesome work! you are the best
Take into consideration that Lloyds is part of the corrupt, future islamic nation UK. They are devilish worshipers.
🎯🎯🎯
Thank you for this meticulous unraveling of Iranian propaganda B.S.!
Lloyd's of London Insurance Company has never been friends of the United States after we beat Great Britain in 1783. They are as much of an enemy as Iran. Insurance companies run the world; not the banks. Who do you think insures the banks from failure?????
Who also fomented, funded and supplied the Confederacy?
Is this a rhetorical question? The British funded and supplied the Confederacy until General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the North defeated the Confederate Army at Gettysburg.
Excellent analysis clears this mess up. Thanks
Whoa!!! THIS is a bombshell.

Non-violent ways to deal with Iran, surely you jest.
This is an important article because it should remind everyone how tricky the media is with semantics. "These are not minor caveats."
No offense, Susan, as I'm certain we agree completely! My non-violent method refers to our first step in properly addressing our own "enemy within" media.
Ah, now we are in total agreement.
This is a great article. I feel that it strongly reinforces my thesis that the Ayatollah Regime won nothing by mining the Straits of Hormuz.
