Susan Kokinda from Promethean Action gives her perspective on the negotiated ceasefire with Iran. Kokinda notes the key players were Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey (she missed China).
In a lesser reported part of the background, Chairman Xi Jinping summoned the Pakistani negotiators to Beijing prior to the terms of agreement with Trump. The summoning happened right after Trump said he was going to target the full force of the U.S. military against Iranian infrastructure.
Why does that matter to China? Belt and Road. Beijing has built a railway from China into Iran for the transport of goods and raw materials (including energy products) out of Iran (sanctions avoidance) in exchange for shipments of weapons. If President Trump targeted the railway infrastructure, in combination with the oil shipments being hampered, ¹China would be in a very bad place. Hence the summoning to get a ceasefire.
Focusing too narrowly on the British Empire as the source of all problems and you miss things. Mrs Kokinda missed this:

¹China in a bad place due to the middle east in crisis, means China becomes more dependent on Russia for oil, gas and ultimately fuel. Internally, Russia isn’t a big fan of their Chinese dependencies.
If FUBAR in Iran remained the statis, the two countries not in any crisis would be the USA and Russia, both with oil/gas and extra refining capacity. The countries/regions in biggest crisis would be China, Europe and Southeast Asia.
The U.S. and Russia less affected. China and the EU more affected. A significant geopolitical paradigm shift, all things considered…. and it appears that Beijing saw it coming.

Panama Accuses China of Seizing Its Ships After Getting Kicked Out of Canal
China is rumored to have suffered a shattering national security breach – American Thinker:
“… An organization calling itself FlamingChina has posted on Telegram and other dark web sites that it hacked the NSCC, shared a few examples of the data now in its possession, and offered to sell it to the highest bidder. That could easily be an empty boast or a con to sell fake data, but according to one report, some computer experts think the material FlamingChina posted has the look of the real thing…”
Shanaka Anslem Perera @shanaka86:
“While China was busy shipping missile chemicals to Iran and collecting yuan tolls at Hormuz, someone was inside its most sensitive supercomputer stealing everything.
CNN reports that a hacker group calling itself FlamingChina breached the China National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin and exfiltrated up to 10 petabytes of classified defence data. The samples posted on dark web forums include bomb and missile designs, animated explosion simulations, structural integrity tests, renderings of the J-20 stealth fighter, sixth-generation aircraft concepts, nuclear submarine schematics, hypersonic weapons systems, and target analyses for American assets including HIMARS launchers and carrier strike groups.
Ten petabytes. For context, the entire printed collection of the US Library of Congress is approximately 10 terabytes. This breach is one thousand times that volume. It is being sold for cryptocurrency on Breach Forums. Cybersecurity experts who reviewed the previews told CNN the data appears genuine, matching known output patterns from the NSCC Tianjin facility, which serves over 6,000 clients including defence agencies and aviation firms across China.
The timing is extraordinary. Trump posted a 50 percent tariff threat on any country supplying military weapons to Iran hours before CNN published this story. Five Chinese vessels shipped sodium perchlorate to Iran from Gaolan Port in the past six weeks, enough propellant precursor for hundreds of ballistic missiles. China’s ghost fleet continues operating through the IRGC’s yuan toll booth at Hormuz. And now the supercomputer that designed the weapons China is helping Iran reconstitute has been gutted by hackers selling its contents for the same cryptocurrency that Iran charges for strait passage.
The irony is architectural. China built a parallel financial system using yuan and crypto to bypass the dollar at Hormuz. A hacker group is now using crypto to bypass Chinese state security and sell Beijing’s most classified military designs to anyone with a wallet address. The same technology that enables sanction evasion enables espionage monetisation. The blockchain does not distinguish between a toll payment and a weapons leak. It processes both.
For Xi, this is a catastrophe arriving at the worst possible moment. Bessent’s mid-May Beijing summit was already going to be difficult. Trump holds the waiver on 140 million barrels of Chinese-bound Iranian crude. The 50 percent tariff threat targets China’s arms pipeline. The IDF just destroyed 100 Hezbollah targets using F-35I aircraft with Israeli software upgrades the Pentagon approved today. And now the classified designs for China’s most advanced military systems, the systems that justify the rare earth monopoly and the South China Sea posture and the Taiwan coercion campaign, are available for purchase on a dark web forum for less than the price of a single Hormuz transit.
If the data is genuine, every adversary and ally of China can now reverse-engineer the capabilities Beijing spent decades and hundreds of billions developing. The J-20’s stealth profile. The hypersonic glide vehicle’s trajectory calculations. The nuclear submarine’s acoustic signature. The sixth-generation fighter’s sensor architecture. All of it, priced in crypto, available now.
China wanted to build a post-dollar world. A hacker group just demonstrated what that world looks like when the technology works in both directions.” …….

I would laugh if the systems accessed were not air gapped from the civilian networks and thus the internet.
Promethean Blindspot? “Focusing too narrowly on the British Empire as the source of all problems and you miss things. ” Thank you SD for pointing this out. Q: Does Promethean’s link to the late-Lyndon LaRouche’s movement account for focus on British Empire?
I would say that Promethean’s link to LaRouche is a primary reason for their one-note samba. But to be fair they have done an excellent job of educating people to the American System of Economics and contracting it to the “free-trade” mantra of the “Imperial” economic system. I do disagree with their focus on Nixon’s closing of the gold window in 1971 that eventually lead to the collapse the Brenton Woods system. But I think Nixon had very good reasons to do so because our “allies” sought to damage the U.S. dollar. By focusing on that even, they overlook the more damaging 1973 and 1979 oil shocks that led to the immense disruption and eventual inflation that put pressure on manufactures to eventually offshore production.
The primary reason for Promethean popularity is that there is an audience out there that is looking for pro-Trump analysis rather than the constant berating of Trump by the usual suspects especially by the frauds posing as MAGA.
Putin Mocks Effete Effeminate Rent-Boy-Associate Keir Starmer—Disinformation Expert Ace:
“Putin has been sending his illegal sanctioned “Shadow Fleet” oil tankers through England’s bathtub — or its former bathtub, as you’ll see — the English Channel.
Keir Starmer told Putin to stop using the Channel for the illegal transport of sanctioned oil or he’d seize the shadow ships. And you know that when Keir Starmer acts tough, people take notice.
So Putin sent his own warships into the Channel to protect the ships.
England used to own the English Channel. Owning the English Channel protected it from invasion many times, from the French during the 100 Years War though World War II. Operation Sea Lion, I think Hitler called the plan to invade England, cancelled because the Nazis realized any attempt to reach English shores would result in disaster.
And now? Not only does England no longer “own the seas,” it can’t even patrol its own Channel.” …….
You could rename it “The Gulf of Mexico”. We’re done with it.
I stopped paying attention to these people when I found out they were the LaRouche gang.
The Council On Foreign Relations manages the CIA Op Mockingbird media, controls many corporations, and gives marching orders to much of Congress on both sides of the False Binary Dialectic political system. CFR is the American branch of society which started in England aka “London”. CFR is the bureaucratic
The London linked CFR is the Bureaucratic elite that Senator Jenner is talking about.
So much noise..so many evil players. God bless those who are just trying to survive.
